Eagle Scout Makes Over Medford Disabilities Facility

James Galley, of Smithtown, improved the playground and bus entrance for the facility.

A Smithtown Eagle Scout provided a makeover for the Medford campus of Developmental Disabilities Institute (DDI) for his community service project.

James Galley renovated the Young Autism Program (YAP) playground and the campus's bus entrance.

According to a release from DDI, Galley refurbished the playground by sanding and painting the swing sets a bright red paint, painting the railroad ties a bold blue and painting the top railroad ties a bright yellow so the children would be able to distinguish where the play area ended.

Galley also improved the bus entrance by removing old railroad ties and replacing them with new ties, adding new mulch, white rocks, plants and a cement bench.

"We thank James for his time and commitment to DDR and congratulate him on his accomplishments," said Dan Rowland, DDI's Director of Development, in a release.

Your barking dog complaint in North Patchogue is handled by Public Safety, Town of Broohaven. CallRead More them at 451-6161 and they will take action. The first time the owners will be warned, the next time they will receive a summons.

Don't know what the Town ordnance is, but if you live within the Village of Patchogue, I believeRead More there is a "15 minute rule" in the code. Basically, if the dog is barking for more than 15 continuous minutes, it's a violation subject to a fine. Call public safety at 475-1225. Keep in mind it's probably not their first priority (unless the dog has a bad attitude, and is carrying a weapon), but they will be responsive, eventually.
