Smithtown Delivers Check to Food Pantry
Town Supervisor Ed Wehrheim
was joined by Town Clerk Vin-
cent Puleo and Councilman Tom
Lohmann on Thursday, July 15,
2021, to hand deliver a check to
Pat Westlake at the Smithtown
Food Pantry. The check, for over
$1,600, was the result of a Battle
of the Towns fundraiser organ-
ized by the Recreation Depart-
ment back in March. Town
employees and members of the
public used the Kilter App in a
30-day fitness challenge against
the Town of Riverhead. The pro-
ceeds from the event went to a
cause of each Town’s choosing.
The Town of Smithtown chose to
donate proceeds to the Smith-
town Food Pantry.

“Some Interesting Wine Tidbits”
by Rick Masters
For this month’s column, I took
a break from my Saturday night
ritual of sipping Bourbon while
watching cat videos, and instead
scoured the internet for some fun
facts about wine to enlighten
and entertain you. Cheers!
The Original Snakebite Shot
In Vietnam, you can get a glass
of “cobra wine,” which is a rice
wine or grain alcohol infused
with freshly-killed snakes’ blood
and / or body parts. This is nor-
mally consumed as a shot. Al-
though there are health benefits
attributed to “snake wine” in tra-
ditional Chinese medicine, the
presence of venom could result
in the drinker being poisoned.

ranging from joy to melancholy. Because
they are the product of the artists’ thoughts
as well as their emotions, viewers will find
them compelling and moving.”
