Budget proposal won’t add pressure to wallets Funding would increase for snow removal, environment By Giselle Barkley & elana Glowatz

Brookhaven Town won’t ask for more money from residents next year, according to Supervisor Ed Romaine’s 2016 budget proposal. Romaine (R) revealed his nearly $281 million budget plan at a meeting on Oct. 1, touting its benefits of complying with the state-imposed limit on property tax increases and putting more funding toward snow removal as the winter season approaches. Crafting the budget was a challenge given the tight limit on how much the property tax levy could increase, according to Romaine — the state’s limit was 0.73 percent this year. Despite that, “I support the tax cap because I understand what the tax burden is on the taxpayers of this town,” Romaine said during a meeting with the press last week. “I’m trying to do my best to limit that tax burden while providing needed services and that’s crucial, and our five-year plan reflects that.” According to the budget proposal, the town’s property tax levy will not see a

net increase in 2016, holding taxes steady for many residents. Romaine was able to maintain the levy because of the amount of money the town will save from satisfying debts. Some of the money that would

have gone toward those debt payments was used instead to fund increases in other budget lines. When money from the town’s debt reserve fund is excluded, the budget proposal actually reduces overall spending

more than $800,000. “That’s come from careful management of capital projects and the elimination of pipeline debt,” Finance Commissioner Tamara Wright said during the meeting. Just as there were cuts in the budget, there were also additions. Romaine proposed bringing the highway department’s snow removal budget up to $5.2 million — a budget line the supervisor and the town board have been adding to since the massive February 2013 storm, frequently dubbed Nemo, that buried Long Island under three feet of dense snow. That removal budget has doubled in the last few years. “I hope that someday we will have a less snowy winter,” Romaine said. Town officials hope any leftover snow removal money will be deposited into a reserve account, to be used in an emergency winter weather situation. The supervisor’s proposal also increases spending on environmental protection and funding for public safety staff, code enforcement and internal auditors, among others. Romaine’s proposed capital budget totals $62.2 million, a reduction of about 2.4 percent from the current year. The capital funds will go toward local projects like long-awaited athletic fields in Selden and road and drainage improvements.

Village smokes hookah New Port Jefferson law stops shops, tattoo parlors By Elana Glowatz

Taking a stand against what some see as troubling business activity and the undesirable type of people it attracts, the Port Jefferson Village Board of Trustees approved a law Monday night that effectively bans new hookah-selling shops and tattoo parlors. Residents and village officials have been vocal lately about the abundance of shops on Main Street selling hookahs and products related to the smoking apparatuses, with some saying the stores attract a criminal element and sell unhealthy products. More than a year after a similar yet simpler proposal was abandoned, the board has amended its zoning code to restrict

those businesses, as well as tattoo parlors and adult establishments like topless bars, to the Light Industrial I-2 District. The village’s four current hookah shops will not be shuttered under the new law because they represent preexisting uses, but the measure all but bans future hookah shops, hookah parlors, tattoo parlors and adult businesses, as there are only two properties in the entire village in the I-2 zoning district — on Columbia Street — and both are already occupied. Board members approved the law at their Monday meeting with a 3-2 vote, with Trustees Bruce Miller and Bruce D’Abramo in opposition. D’Abramo was the most vocal opponent of the proposal’s previous iteration, which would have simply banned hookah parlors — lounges where people can smoke tobacco products using a hookah. He repeated a stance at the meeting that he held through that last proposal as well as through discussion about the new law: that the government should let the free market regulate legally operating businesses. “I believe that the marketplace cannot support four of these places in the village,” he said. “I think it will serve only to make our code book thicker and therefore dilute its effectiveness. … I believe the marketplace will do the same thing that it did when we had a yogurt place across the street from another yogurt place. … And it closed.” Although there were more calls from residents opposed to the village interfering with the market the first time around — with some even comparing hookah establishments to the village’s numerous bars that are allowed to operate — D’Abramo

did not receive as much resident support recently. Over the last few board meetings, concerned parents and neighbors have called upon the village to take action against hookah-selling shops, citing fears that they will sell paraphernalia and dangerous substances to underage patrons and attract loiterers and drug dealers. Resident Nancy Cerullo said Monday she is concerned about “the culture that it is bringing.” When residents asked about banning the shops outright, officials pointed out that would be unconstitutional, but said they could restrict the locations where

they operate. “As long as you allow it to be somewhere,” Mayor Margot Garant said. With the discussion of the law dominated by comments about hookah shops, Barbara Sabatino, a resident, business owner and planning board member, questioned whether tattoo parlors should be lumped in with those establishments in the new restrictions. She noted that tattoos are becoming more mainstream, particularly among young adults. The Board of Trustees narrowly voted to approve the law moments after closing the public hearing.

Ban on microbeads passes county legislature By Phil Corso

A push in the Suffolk County Legislature to ban the sale of personal care products containing microbeads was met with unanimous approval on Tuesday, as state and federal lawmakers are also signing on to the cause. Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket) celebrated the unanimous vote on Tuesday for legislation crafted with the goal of washing the county free of the tiny, potentially hazardous plastic particles linked to several issues affecting waterways. She stood alongside environmental experts at the county Legislature building in Riverhead, referring to the new ban as a means of keeping Long Island and its surrounding waterways safe. “There is no place for plastics in our vulnerable bays and waterways,” said Hahn, chair of the Legislature’s Environment Committee and author of the bill. “Microbeads have been found in our precious Long Island Sound, and my legislation will protect our environment, protect our health and protect our fishing and tourism industries.” Microbeads, which are usually between one and five millimeters in diameter, are typically not filtered out by most wastewater treatment systems. This

poses the risk of the tiny beads making their way into surface waters, picking up toxins as they flow from one source to the next. Because of their tiny size, the toxin-laden particles can sometimes be mistaken for food by small fish and other aquatic species. But it does not end there. Once the aquatic life consumes the potentially harmful microbeads, they could then make their way into larger living organisms and eventually into the

human food supply. The county legislation said that manufacturers of several personal care products have added the small plastic beads to their facial scrubs, body washes, toothpaste products and select soaps and shampoos over the past 10 years. Now that it has passed, Hahn’s law will go into effect Jan. 1, 2018, and prohibit the sale of any personal care products that contain microbeads in Suffolk County. Six months before that deadline,

Hahn said the Department of Health Services will begin informing retailers selling products that contain microbeads of the new regulations, and enforcement will come through random inspections of at least 10 retailers per quarter in 2018. Anyone who violates the law will be subject to a civil fine of up to $500 for a first offense, a fine of up to $750 for a second offense and a fine of up to $1,000 for all subsequent violations. Microbead legislation has been gaining traction beyond the Suffolk County level over the past year, with elected officials on both the state and federal levels stepping up to promote the ban of such products. U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman visited Long Island over the summer to announce the Microbead-Free Waters Act of 2015, a bipartisan federal bill that would also ban cosmetics containing the plastic pellets. Gillibrand’s bill had sponsors and co-sponsors from both sides of the aisle, most of them from the Midwest, according to a press release from the senator’s office. It is similar to a New York statelevel bill of the same name, which is Schneiderman’s effort to prohibit the sale and distribution of products containing microbeads.

Port Jefferson . . . . . 34 Wyandanch . . . . . . . . 8 By Bill landon

Although Mother Nature smiled on Port Jefferson Saturday morning during the school’s homecoming day parade, the same could not be said for the football game that followed two hours later. Despite the cold and drizzling rain as gusts of wind spoiled the kicking game for both teams, the Royals (2-2) were able to still show Wyandanch what they’re made of, reigning over the visiting team, 34-8, for a sweet homecoming victory. Port Jefferson struck first in the Division IV matchup when senior fullback Garret Hiz punched into the end zone for a touchdown eight minutes into the game. Although the ensuing two-point conversion attempt failed, the Royals found themselves with an early lead. “We came out and gave it everything,” Hiz said. “It was rainy, cold and the field was a mess. It was hard to run out there, but we held our own and we got the win.” In a game riddled with turnovers, Port Jefferson was on the move again thanks to a fumble recovery by junior outside line-

After a long run by Hiz to the 3-yard the game wore on. line, senior quarterback Nick Caltagirone “Honestly, I thought we played a little finished the drive.

came out in the second half looking to finish the game, so I was proud of the guys for playing hard the whole game and not letting up.” Two minutes into the final quarter, the Warriors scored when Christian Flowers bulled his way up the middle, broke free from tacklers and found the end zone. Flowers finished it with two more points, as his team trailed 26-8. With five minutes left, Caltagirone found the end zone for his third touchdown of the afternoon. Cosci said it has been a frustrating start to the season, after opening with a win to drop two big losses, 23-8 and 34-6, and he looked for Caltagirone to have the kind of game he did. “This is the first time we’ve seen him play the way he’s capable of playing, and he can carry a team when he plays like that,” Cosci said. DiCalogero put the icing on the homecoming cake with the two-point conversion, to put the 34-8 victory into the record books. The Royals will host undefeated Shoreham-Wading River next, on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.

PJ students score reading touchdown

Wearing their purple and white jerseys, eight seniors on the Earl L. Vandermeulen High School varsity football team shared their love of literacy by reading to Port Jefferson first-graders at Edna Louise Spear Elementary School this fall. The football players — Shane Bruno, Nick Caltagirone, Mike DiCalogero, Bill Govits, John Guerra, Garret Hiz, Jefferson Koutsantanou and Spencer Woolley — participated in the event as part of a community outreach program organized by the team’s booster club. “The high school athletes were very exited about this opportunity to give back,” coach Andrew Cosci said. After reading “Fall Mixed Up,” by Bob Raczka; “If You Take a Mouse to School,” by Laura Numeroff; and “A Bad Case of Stripes,” by David Shannon, the players took turns answering questions from students. The reading session culminated with the athletes taking the first-graders outside to teach them how to throw a football. Photo from Port Jefferson school district

Frank Campo Frank Campo, owner and partner in the construction firm Campo Brothers tragically passed away on Friday, September 11, at the age of 53. Services were held at OB Davis Funeral Home and he was laid to rest on Tuesday, September 15, at Cedar Hill Cemetery in Port Jefferson. A graduate of E. L. Vandermeulen High School, Frank spent most of his life in Port Jefferson, currently residing in the Riviera section of the village. Anyone who has had the good fortune of knowing the Campos understands the ways in which Frankie was blessed. The abundance of love, happiness, and boundless generosity that surrounded him made Frankie the man he was. Frankie was a kind, affectionate, gentle man whose wit and charm was adored by everyone that knew him. Hundreds of his friends and relatives gathered to share their memories of the friendliest and most generous man they had known. It was a true testament to a man who brought happiness to everyone

he knew. His father, Jack Campo, is a man larger than life, who lives everyday for others. He wakes every morning and works tirelessly with the sole purpose of building a world where every member of the family is showered with love, happiness and acceptance. Frankie was an astute businessman, who also worked energetically along with his brothers and his Dad’s wife, Deani, to perpetuate Jack’s vision of business and love. Frankie was his father’s son and lived life with incredible passion. The Campo Brothers, Frankie, Eddie and Michael, were intertwined. They gave each other tremendous joy and comfort. They were three boys who walked through life with grace, kindness and compassion to the greatest degree. The Campo boys light up every room; their energy, desire to please, and love of celebration have no boundaries. Frankie’s aunt and uncle, Mary and Matt Bloom, loved Frankie like a son and their children Jesse and Casey feel like they have lost their brother. Their families exist as

one and will never be complete again. Frankie was a cherished friend, cousin, nephew, uncle, brother, son and father who loved his wife, Ditas, and children with all his heart. He was loved by all who knew him. He had all the excitement, happiness and love anyone could want, and nothing brought him more pride and joy than his baby girls. Emily, his older daughter, his “Angel”, was his best friend. Her sweetness came from the love of her father and mother Laura, who was always dear to Frankie. Elizabeth, his “Boo”, lit up his already bright world like the north star. Frankie will be loved and missed forever!

OPINION

North Shore hospitals improve our health care Your turn

BY Ken LaVaLLe File photo

Some face washes contain microbeads, which can be dangerous to the environment.

EDITORIAL

It’s the little things

Could the stuff you’re washing your face with end up in your sushi? It sounds crazy, but yes. We don’t often agree with legislators who want to add more restrictions to businesses, but a recently approved law, drafted by Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), tries to take tiny pieces of plastic out of the equation. The culprit is known as microbeads, which are used as exfoliants and are becoming more and more common in personal care products like facial scrubs and toothpastes. The tiny particles are too small for our treatment plants to filter out of wastewater, so they pick up toxins and are discharged into our waterways. Small creatures confuse them with food and ingest them, and those small creatures are consumed by larger creatures — which then reach us at the top of the food chain. Hahn’s law passing this week means products containing microbeads are going to start disappearing from Suffolk County shelves, with complete removal by 2018. While some of us may lose our exfoliant, we will all gain a healthier water supply and environment. It’s a sacrifice we’re willing to make, because without it, we may not have the clean water we need to exfoliate with in the first place.

Today, we live in a fast-paced society where change is no longer measured year-to-year but is determined in minute-to-minute increments. By the time we master a new technology or system, it is time to upgrade to the next. Perhaps there is no better example of fast pace change than in the world of health care. Doctors are now employed by hospitals, hospitals are joining hospital systems and hospital systems are expanding into new geographical areas creating an atmosphere of competition unprecedented in years past. In this dynamic health care environment, I take great pride in the fact that two of our local hospitals have recognized that by working together, the quality of health care in our community significantly improves. We are fortunate to have Stony Brook Medicine — an outstanding, tertiary care hospital and research-intense medical school, in close proximity to John T. Mather Memorial Hospital — one of our region’s premiere community teaching hospitals. In years past, a patient oftentimes had to choose between the two hospitals in determining their level of care. Today, the hospitals work together to provide access to quality care and services through state-ofthe art technology. For example, recent clinical research at Stony Brook established a new approach to the definitive diagnosis of cardiac disease in patients

with chest pain. Stony Brook then spread this technology to Mather Hospital, so that a patient entering Mather with chest pain has their cardiac CT scan read remotely by doctors at Stony Brook, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions. Mather has also teamed up with Stony Brook radiologists who read all of the radiology studies, CT, MRI and X-rays, for Mather Hospital patients. The two hospitals have implemented a seamless transfer process for patients with complex medical problems that require services available only at the tertiary care hospital. For example, patients arriving at Mather Emergency Department with stroke symptoms are rapidly assessed and treated. Those patients who require neurointerventional therapies are transferred to Stony Brook where neurosurgeons can move quickly and remove or break up clots, saving brain tissue and thereby improving brain function following recovery. On the educational front, Stony Brook currently sponsors the

training of internal medicine residents at Mather Hospital, providing a mechanism to attract and maintain quality doctors in the years ahead. The relationship between Stony Brook Medicine and Mather Hospital demonstrates what can be achieved when institutions make the commitment to reach out and complement each other’s strengths. In this case, the results have brought about improved and more efficient health care services at a cost savings achieved by eliminating duplication. As we continue to navigate the quickly changing health care landscape and focus more on health management and prevention strategies, I am hopeful that opportunities for collaboration and cooperation continue to grow and that our local hospitals find new and innovative ways to provide residents with the best possible health care close to home.

Life’s wobbles cause us to rock back and forth

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

S

ome readers may remember those egg-shaped rolypoly toys from the 1970s called the Weebles. The slogan they used was: “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down.” All these years later, I get it. Adding a few pounds here and there has turned me into something closer to a Weeble, but that’s not what I mean. I get the notion of wobbling.

That’s what we do. Challenges cause us to rock back and forth as we endure losses and defeats. But, then, much of the time, we don’t fall down. Using material that was more dense at the bottom of the egg-shaped creatures, these Weebles remained upright no matter how many times we flicked our fingers at them. With humans, however, the mechanism includes the people around us. I recently attended the bar mitzvah of the son of a great friend from middle school. My friend and I met when we were the same age as our sons. It’s one of the many pause-toreflect landmarks along the road of life. I remember thinking how incredibly old I’d be in the year 2000. I also remember passing my mother’s age when she gave birth to me even before I met my wife. Anyway, back at the bar mitzvah, my friend stood with

his wife, both beaming as their son sang a text in a language none of them can speak. These rites of passage aren’t easy. They’re not like getting up in the morning and deciding what clothing to wear at the last minute. They take months to plan, involve commitment and sometimes seem so far away that they are a distant dot on an unimaginable horizon. And then, all of a sudden, the future is now. There we are, moving into a new role, cheering on our children or, in my case, the son of my friend. Those years weren’t always easy. There isn’t a parenting playbook we can consult on Page 9 when a child can’t fall asleep or Page 15 when a child suddenly can’t keep any food down. Yes, of course, there are books on parenting that offer just that kind of advice, but there’s always an added curve. We also make our own playbook as we go, combining lessons each set of grandparents

taught us. One such curve hit us during the delivery of our daughter. We had taken several Lamaze classes. None of them, however, prepared us for the hours of attempting to deliver our daughter, followed by what now feels like the inevitable decision to perform a C-section. My friend gave an emotional speech about his son, sharing the moments of triumph along with some of the unexpected tribulations. As he told the stories about those early years, I remember talking with him over the phone, hearing his voice weakened by fatigue and worry, unsure of the next steps he’d need to take to help his son grow and develop into the young man he would become. My friend was wobbling. He, his wife and their son got through some of those early difficulties, thanks to the support of the people who were there celebrating this milestone.

And then, all of a sudden, the future is now. These big moments are a wonderful opportunity for us to recognize the life landmarks with the people who have kept us from falling down. They could include everyone from our parents to our neighbors and friends to the teacher who saw the best in our children, even when our children’s confidence was f lagging and they felt like anything but The Little Engine That Could. They are also a chance to take stock of the support networks that enable us Weebles to head to the next celebration of life.

Some of the best and worst in China

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

H

ow is the food in China?” That is one of the most often-asked questions when people learn that I have just returned from my trip accompanying my son (see also last week’s column). The answer is the same as it would be here: It depends where you eat. As my son was invited to speak at a half-dozen medical centers, his hosts graciously provided some meals that we enjoyed, although we didn’t always know

“

what we were eating. Yes, the food was somewhat different from that served in Chinese restaurants here. In China, vegetables can be eaten, especially greens, at every meal with abundant tofu. Some of the dishes I had not seen before, and also some of their delicious fruits were new to us. There were fewer heavy sauces, less fried foods, lots of fish and seafood and smaller portions of meat — pork, chicken and some beef — often in combination with vegetables. Depending on the region, there was varying emphasis on sweet or spice. Dumplings were a constant, and soup with noodles came at the end of the meal. Dishes were placed on a large Lazy Susan in the center of the table, and each person plucked morsels with chopsticks as the turntable rotated. There were almost never any dairy products; many Asians are lactose intolerant. A treat for the Chinese, and therefore for us, was “hot pot.” We sat in a restaurant at a round table, in the center of which was a heating element topped by a pot

divided into two compartments. One half was for herbs floating in a consommé, the other for “spicy” — and they mean it. The wait staff brought dishes ranging from fish to meat to vegetables and tofu, all cut into bite-sized pieces. We had prepared ourselves with small bowls of spices that we had chosen from perhaps two-dozen offerings on an adjoining side bar. As the liquid boiled, we dipped in our bits of fish or spinach, much as you would with fondue. But instead of coating the food, we were actually cooking it, for a few seconds or however long we wished, then dragging it through our bowl of spices on the way to our mouths. During our trip of more than some 3,000 miles, we visited six cities and a dramatic near-9,000-foot volcanic mountain with a crater lake in the center. The cities were Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Changchun and Beijing, while Changbai Mountain is right on the border with North Korea. All had their special sights, and all had their stories. Throughout, the people were friendly and open,

spontaneously answering a smile with one of their own, and interested in us. We knew they were curious because they stood in front of us and stared, something that is not frowned upon culturally. Some of those who spoke English came up to practice and to inquire where we were from and why we had come. The majority of tourists in China, especially this past year, are Chinese which speaks to the growing middle class; most of the rest are from other Asian countries. We moved from place to place but only rarely saw the sun and blue sky. Pollution sits atop the country like a bathing cap on a swimmer’s head. As we rode on their bullet train, a high-speed marvel traveling at some 300 kilometers per hour (about 190 mph) from Shanghai to Hangzhou, we could understand why. Through the window, we could see tall buildings with a school in their midst and children playing in the schoolyard. Adjacent to the residences were a couple of factories with thick black smoke rising from their chimneys. Beside the factories were a number of

farms, their produce neatly growing in rows carefully tended by the farmers. This pattern was repeated often. There appears to be no zoning; water has to be boiled or bottled for drinking; and agriculture is poisoned by the toxic air. The people and the government well realize the situation and they are trying to rectify matters. It is a price the population is paying for their incredible economic leap forward. An American woman, living in Beijing who grew up in Northport, told us that she and her husband were staying only one more year because they feared for their baby’s health. Why were they there at all? Both of them were making such high salaries teaching English in the schools, and household help was so cheap. China is a land of contrasts. Final installment next week
