Tuna Club, Toys for Tots Collecting Throughout Village

Organizations collecting toys for children who lost everything during Hurricane Sandy.

There may not have be a more relevant time for Toys for Tots and the Babylon Tuna Club to be teaming up to collect toys for children, only seven weeks removed from the devestation of Hurricane Sandy.

The two organizations are teaming up to collect every toy imaginable to help bring the holiday spirit to those less fortunate, especially children who may have lost everything during the onslaught of Hurricane Sandy in late October.

All donated toys will be distributed back to communities local to our area, including homes here in Babylon Village and West Babylon that were hit hard not so long ago.

There are several drop-off locations now available in Babylon Village and West Babylon to help the cause:

  • Astoria Federal Savings Bank
  • Babylon Honda
  • Century 21 Adams Real Estate
  • Deja Vu on Main Street
  • Pandemonium
  • Positions Dance Studio
  • Nassau Fire Aparatus (120 Otis Avenue, W. Babylon)
  • Pride and Joy Preschool

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident. However, I did take theRead More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done. As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.
