County acts to address drinking water contamination concerns BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County Water Authority and Suffolk County Legislator Dr. William “Doc” Spencer, chair of the legislature’s health committee, announced April 11 the imminent construction of a new Advanced Oxidation Process water treatment system to be installed at the authority’s Flower Hill Road pumping station in Halesite. The new system is designed to remove the currently unregulated contaminant 1,4-dioxane from drinking water. It will become the third new processing system for the county, joining the existing advanced system in Central Islip and another soon to be constructed system in East Farmingdale. The chemical 1,4-dioxane has been designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a likely carcinogen associated with liver and kidney damage after a lifetime of exposure to contaminated drinking water. “Though this compound is not currently regulated at the federal or state level we’re proactively installing AOP treatment at priority locations,” water authority chairman Patrick Halpin said. “This pump station on Flower Hill Road was a priority for us given the levels of 1,4-dioxane detected by our laboratory.” The Flower Hill Road well field was selected because it had the third highest detection for 1,4-dioxane of all of the water authority’s well fields. The highest detections were in Central Islip, and the second highest in East Farmingdale. “The emerging contaminant 1,4-dioxane has been a deep concern of mine as a local legislator. I am thankful for the Suffolk County Water Authority’s partnership and willingness to confront this complex water quality and safety issue,” said Spencer. “Their swift action to install this innovative technology at the Flower Hill pump station in Huntington, the third site in Suffolk County, demonstrates their ongoing commitment to protecting our drinking water.” The three wells at the Halesite pump station averaged a detection of 2.02 parts-per-billion of 1,4–dioxane, with well #1 having the highest detection at 3.84 PPB. The New York State Drinking Water Quality Council has recommended 1,4-dioxane be regulated statewide at a level of 1 PPB, but the state’s department of health has not yet enacted the recommendation. The advanced process works by introducing an oxidant to the raw groundwater, in this case hydrogen peroxide, and then passing that mixture through an ultraviolet light reactor. The ultraviolet light reacts with the oxidant to destroy the 1,4-dioxane molecules. The water is ultimately passed through a carbon filter to remove the peroxide and any by-products from the reaction. Costs to install the new treatment system exceed $1 million, which does not include annual maintenance costs. In an effort to defray these expenses, the county filed in December 2017 a lawsuit against the chemical companies responsible for polluting Long Island’s sole source aquifer. In its 1,4-dioxane complaint, the water authority named Dow Chemical Company, Ferro Corporation, Vulcan Materials Corporation, Proctor & Gamble and Shell Oil Company, alleging that their products — primarily industrial degreasers, laundry detergents and other household products — are to blame for the contamination. The suit also includes a complaint about two other contaminants, perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). The PFOS and PFOA claims were filed against the 3M Company; Buckeye Fire Equipment Company; Chemguard, Inc.; Tyco Fire Products LP and National Foam, Inc. and allege the

companies knew or should have known that the firefighting foam they made, distributed or sold is dangerous to human health and contains unique characteristics that cause extensive and persistent environmental contamination. All chemicals are potential carcinogens. The PFOA and PFOS are particularly dangerous to pregnant women and children. “It’s important that we take a proactive approach to removing these types of contaminants, but our ratepayers should not have to bear those costs,” SCWA board member and Huntington resident Jane Devine said. “They should not have to pay for the reckless

behavior of companies who either knew or should have known about the effect this compound would have on groundwater.” The county is also working to connect people with private wells in certain communities to the public water supply to avoid contamination. The Suffolk County Water Authority is an independent publicbenefit corporation operating under the authority of the Public Authorities Law of the State of New York. Serving approximately 1.2 million Suffolk County residents, the Authority operates without taxing power on a not-for-profit basis.

New York budget measures aim to address opioid crisis on LI BY MAUREEN ROSSI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM With the opioid epidemic still endemic throughout Suffolk County and beyond, New York State senators are hoping the new state budget will mean more help for those in the throes of addiction. Measures woven into and passed in the state budget include increasing access for those suffering with substance use disorder to access 28-day inpatient and outpatient programs without prior insurance authorization. They also include money for a recovery high school start -up and no prior authorization for medicationassisted treatment. “These are critical reform measures,” said New York State Sen. Monica Martinez (D-Brentwood). In addition, she touted another reform, which will require emergency rooms to enact screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for all overdose patients before they are released. For the first time, emergency room doctors will also initiate medicallyassisted treatment to overdose patients prior to their release, utilizing drugs like buprenorphine that alleviate the craving for opioids including heroin. Martinez was joined by her Democratic

colleagues at a press conference in Islandia April 12. Senators Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck), James Gaughran (D-Northport), Kevin Thomas (D-Levittown) and Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) gathered at THRIVE Long Island, a community center for people in addiction recovery whose funding was a legislative win three years back. The Island’s Democrats were joined by

Long Island Recovery Association Budgetary wins for 2019:

• $1M for Recovery High Schools start up • $2M for a tax credit program for employers who hire individuals in recovery from substance use disorder • $350K to start a loan forgiveness/scholarship program • $4.75M for jail-based substance use disorder services • $100M tax on Opioids with a commitment for $200M in funding for opioid treatment • Enhanced insurance/parity protections • 28-days without insurance interference for all state Office of Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Services levels of care • No prior authorization for medication assisted treatment • One co-pay a day, equal to a doctor’s office visit, for outpatient services • Clearer parity compliance reporting by insurers • Staff at Department of Financial Services to monitor parity compliance • Emergency department initiation of MAT

stakeholders to celebrate critical initiatives passed in this year’s state budget to combat Long Island’s pernicious opioid epidemic. Those stakeholders include parents of those lost to the epidemic, those in recovery and those in the prevention and addiction field, including the CEO of Family & Children’s Association Jeffrey Reynolds, of Smithtown. “There is still much work to be done to combat the opioid epidemic we are seeing here on Long Island,” Martinez added. She looked to Reynolds to the right of the podium and shared that he was tenacious in getting the Long Island’s senators’ attention as the hours dwindled in budget meetings. “He used social media and tagged every single one of us and let us know what funding was missing in the budget.” Kaplan said the crisis affects every community, every school and every community. “Too many innocent souls have been lost to this disease, they have been failed time and again,” Kaplan said. “We are done with halfmeasures — we will do everything we can to help people get into long-term recovery.” One such measure included and passed in the budget was the funding of another THRIVE center for Nassau in Hempstead. The doors are scheduled to open next month.

Kaminsky met with some Long Island parents who lost loved ones to the epidemic prior to the budget process. Figures released by the addiction experts on Long Island put that figure at 3,400 since 2010. “When a parent tells you the story of how they found their child (dead), you want to make sure another parent doesn’t experience that,” said Kaminsky. When it came to budget negotiations that lasted around the clock, the state senator said they would not take no for an answer. Suffolk County has long been a powerhouse when it comes to shining a light on the opioid epidemic and taking legislative measures to address it. Packages of historic bills have been pushed through statewide by Suffolk County advocates. The county is one of the state’s hardest hit counties and they were the first county in the country to file a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma, the makers of the drug OxyContin. Reynolds addressed the senators on behalf of the sixty-plus advocates present. “ ‘Thank you’ seems insufficient. You promised on campaign trails you would do good for Long Island. Thank you so much for your efforts,” he stated. However, Reynolds promised that he and the Long Island advocacy movement will always ask the senators to do more.

Revolutionary artifacts found BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Archaeologists from the Lamar Institute began a month-long search April 15 for local artifacts from the Revolutionary War. Their investigation covers three known battlefields in Fort Salonga, Setauket and Lloyd’s Neck and has so far turned up a musket ball. “All three battlefields are poorly understood in history,” said Daniel Elliott, president of the Lamar Institute. “This project seeks to locate and delineate the three battlefields and to interpret their findings, advancing our understanding of Long Island’s important role in the American Revolution.” Their “dig” includes extensive research with groundpenetrating radar, systematic controlled metal detection survey, small excavations of key targets, laser transit mapping, drone-assisted aerial videography, laboratory analysis and public presentations. The work is funded by a $60,000 grant from the National Park Services’ American Battlefield Protection Program and a $5,200 contribution from the Lamar Institute. Local historian David M. Griffin, author of “Lost British Forts of Long Island,” is a major project collaborator. The Lamar Institute is a nonprofit organization established in 1982 with the mission to conduct

archaeological research and advance public archaeological education. Barbara Russell, Town of Brookhaven historian, was involved in coordinating access to the Setauket site. “This is quite exciting to have respected and qualified researchers from the Lamar Institute in and around our [Setauket] Green.” The research team will be exploring the Lloyd Neck’s Fort Franklin April 29. The public can see the resulting interpretations when completed by September 2020 on the Lamar Institute’s website at www.thelamarinstitute.org.

SBU’s Del Poeta battles drug-resistant fungus BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Maurizio Del Poeta, a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, works to combat potentially deadly fungal infections. Recently, several press reports have highlighted the prevalence in New York and New Jersey of Candida auris, which is resistant to drugs and can cause death. Through an email exchange, Del Poeta shared his perspective on this fungal infection and his efforts to develop a treatment. Are there multiple drug-resistant strains of numerous types of Candida? Yes, there are several species of Candida that are resistant to some antifungals. For instance, Candida lusitaniae is normally resistant to amphotericin B. Candida glabrata is normally resistant to fluconazole. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans. Most are sensitive to antifungals. C. auris is normally resistant to all antifungals. They are resistant for mainly two reasons: (1) the target/enzyme is genetically different and, thus, the drug does not recognize the target; thus it does not bind to the target; and thus it does not inhibit it; (2) the drug is pumped out by membrane transporters. C. auris is notorious for having multiple membrane transporters. I understand the damage from Candida is primarily among people who are immune-compromised. Is there a risk for those people who are also healthy? Healthy people should be fine. But who is really “healthy?” Because C. auris is spreading in hospitals and nursing homes, all patients in hospitals and nursing homes are at risk: some more (e.g., cancer patients, patients with an organ transplant, patients in ICU, patients taking corticosteroids) and some patients have less risk because they are more immunocompetent, but certainly those patients could get contaminated. What makes it so hard to eliminate Candida? Because (1) we are not used to and (2) because we still do not know which type of disinfectant is efficacious against C. auris … Unlike other Candida infections, which are generally thought to result from auto-infection from host flora, C. auris can be transmitted between patients … C. auris requires implementation of specific infection control measures, such as those used for control of [other infections] (e.g., private room and on contact precautions). Because C. auris can

survive in plastic surfaces, floors, and door knobs for weeks, it is essential that infection control measurements be implemented in the health care settings. Does the work you’re doing offer hope, albeit in the earlier stages, for ways to treat and reduce the virulence of Candida? Yes, our new compounds are sensitive to C. auris in vitro against the C. auris clinical isolates that are resistant to current antifungals. We are currently testing their efficacy in vivo (animals). We are doing this in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health and the Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Our compounds have different mechanism of action from the current antifungals, Given that the symptoms of a Candida infection — fever, weakness and aches — are so prevalent in other types of infections, are there ways to make a clinically differentiated diagnosis of Candida without taking a blood sample or conducting extensive analysis? Unfortunately, there are not. Diagnosis of C. auris can only be made using sophisticated tests. Normal phenotypic tests are not able to identify C. auris for certain. If we want to stop (or at least control) the epidemic, anyone with a Candida infection in a hospital setting should be treated as C. auris. Hospital

trafficking of nurses, doctors, visitors from and to patients with C. auris should be highly restricted. Nurses and doctors should not be allowed in cafeteria without changing gowns, particularly if they are taking care of a patient infected with C. auris and other common sense practices should be implemented; but, unfortunately, they are normally out of the window in the hospital settings … In the case of C. auris “isolating rooms” and “contact precautions” should be implemented. How does your treatment for Candida work? The class of compounds are “acylhydrazones.” They target the synthesis of fungal sphingolipids. Given what you know about the prevalence of Candida, particularly in New York, and the minimal information about the specific locations where hospitals have found Candida, what would you advise anyone who might be “at risk” for Candida to do if they had elective surgery scheduled? Elderly and immunocompromised people going to the hospital should be treated with “contact precautions.” No need for isolation unless positive for C. auris. Is C. auris the most virulent or problematic species of Candida confronting

public health professionals today? Not really. C. glabrata is also a nasty Candida strain. What makes C. auris difficult is the resistance to drugs. Do other species suffer through Candida infections as well? Although humans are the most known carriers and hosts for Candida infection, other animals can also get infected such as dogs, horses and cattle. Certain Candida species are used in food production. Candida utilis extracts are used in Asia as a “salt” instead of salt because these extracts are salty and do not cause hypertension. We actually have a collaboration with the Japanese company that makes these extracts. Candida krusei is used to ferment cacao during chocolate production. Whereas C. utilis is not a human pathogen, C. krusei actually is. How do you protect yourself, your office and your staff from the spread of the infection? We use biosafety label 2. My lab is certified to handle BSL2 organisms, such as C. auris. We use all sorts of protective gears and standard protective procedures to make sure lab personnel are protected and to make sure we keep the microbes inside the lab. Entrance to my lab is strictly prohibited to anyone that did not receive appropriate training.

Former Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer died at age 79 Sunday, April 21 after a three-year battle with cancer. Dormer, an Irish immigrant, became a police officer in 1963 and was among the first 800 officers in the department’s history. He climbed the department’s ranks and retired after 30 years of service as chief. Dormer was then appointed in 2004 Suffolk County Police Commissioner and served in that post until he retired in 2011. “Commissioner Dormer dedicated his life to public service, and he should be remembered for his commitment to public safety,” said current Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart. “I extend my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time to his family, including his children, two of whom are continuing his legacy as members of the Suffolk County Police Department, and to the men and women in the department who are mourning his loss.” While serving as commissioner, Dormer oversaw the department’s anti-gang policies and was involved in investigating a string of unsolved homicides, after the dismembered bodies of 10 people were found in bushes near Gilgo Beach. In 2006, Dormer implemented a

novel approach to disposing of its confiscated gun arsenal: the department shredded the firearms it collected. “They’re going to go in a shredder and never harm another person in Suffolk County again,” he said after highlighting the new policy as a cost saving measure at a press conference. The department’s old system required transporting twice a year its seized weapons to a foundry in Pennsylvania, where the firearms were melted down. “During the tenure of former Commissioner Dormer, our department made great advances, including the creation of our Homeland Security Bureau, attaining New York State accreditation and incorporating modern concepts to respond to active shooter incidents,” said Suffolk County Police Chief Stuart Cameron. Dormer is survived by his wife, Barbara; daughters Kathleen Brady and Bridget Dormer; sons Michael, John and Richard Dormer; eight grandchildren; and siblings Frankie, Bridget and Maura. Visitations will be held at Nolan Funeral Home, at 5 Laurel Ave., Northport, Thursday and Friday, April 25 and 26 from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Mass is Saturday, April 27 at 9:15 a.m., at St. Philip Neri Church, 344 Main St., Northport. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to www.giving.mountsinai.org.

Northport-East Northport school district

Teenagers and toddlers working together in Family Dynamics class Through Northport High School’s Family and Consumer Science department, students have the unique opportunity to work with toddlers and experience child development firsthand. The program affords students with tactile interaction with children twice a week, witnessing their classroom-learned knowledge come to life. For one semester, students enrolled in Family Dynamics are paired with a toddler in order to observe the physical, social and emotional growth of the child. On a rotating schedule, students plan the day’s activities, arts and crafts, and “circle-time” for the children to comfortably transition leaving the classroom. At the end of each week,

students record how they’ve watched the child grow and develop by way of motor skills, vocabulary and more. “They understand a lot more than I expected,” said Chris, a senior in the program. “My toddler only knew a few words in the beginning and now he knows so much more. It’s crazy how fast they pick things up.” Students involved in the program vary from aspiring future educators, to budding psychologists, to just wanting to be prepared for a future family. “This is definitely the most handson class I’ve ever taken,” said Deanna, a junior at NHS. “And I genuinely look forward to each afternoon I get to spend time with these kids.”

Northport finalizes school budget for 2019-20 BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Northport residents were given an overview of a proposed finalized school district budget for the 2019-20 school year at the April 11 board of education meeting. Plans include important capital projects that the district will look to pursue in the upcoming school year. The overall budget figure totals $171,397,668 — an over $4.5 million and 2.75 percent increase from last year’s amount. The district will see a projected tax levy cap of 2.78 percent and the levy amount would increase by over $4 million. “We’ve been on this budget process for about two months,” Superintendent Robert Banzer said. “We’re at the point when we will be rapping it up.” The proposed tax levy would result in an increase of property tax rates of $187.918 per $100 of assessed valuation. This year’s budget amount will help cover expansion of integrated co-teaching model at elementary and high schools, funds for ongoing security expansion including the implementation of a smart card ID system, funds for extra/co-curricular and athletic programs. Also there will be improvements to instructional technology with more Chromebook laptops in classrooms and there will be a “future study” done that will look at the future demographics and capacity of the school district. Debt services increased $1 million compared to last year due in part to two major payments.

One is a bond payment, which has gone up close to $770,000. The other is a tax anticipation note that has increased to $300,000. The district for the upcoming school year will be receiving $16,130,805 in state aid, which is slightly more than they expected to receive in Gov. Cuomo’s first executive budget. “This has changed since the last time we spoke,” Banzer said. “We got a little bit more in state aid.” The district used the funds from state aid to reduce the tax levy amount to the most recent 2.78 percent figure. Banzer proposed a general fund budget of $936,750 for capital projects in the upcoming school year. Roof repairs and replacement districtwide total $616,750. Asphalt, concrete and drainage repairs total $320,000. The superintendent also proposed to use $1.8 million from the capital reserve fund for additional asphalt, concrete and drainage repairs as well as traffic reconfiguration at the entrance of Northport High School. These projects will need resident’s approval come May. “We had to prioritize some projects,” Banzer said. “There remains other work to be done and we understand that.” Also discussed at the board meeting was the ongoing LIPA situation. “This is really important to understand, there has been a lot of questions,” Banzer said. The school district has been involved in the third-party beneficiary case regarding LIPA alleged breaking a promise by seeking to

reduce its power plant’s taxes by 90 percent. The district has also been in mediation with the Town of Huntington, LIPA and a thirdparty neutral attorney. Residents most recently held a public rally against LIPA earlier this month.

The next Northport school board meeting on May 9 at 7 p.m. will be a public hearing to discuss the finalized budget at the William J. Brosnan School Building, located at 158 Laurel Ave. The budget vote is slated for May 21.

All aboard for town hall New York State Sen. Jim Gaughran (D) is launching his LIRR Mobile Town Hall Tour Thursday, April 25. He will essentially be holding LIRR town halls at train stations across the district. He has an LIRR survey that he’s created (both a print out card folks can complete and mail in or complete via the website given below) that he’s going to use to craft next steps in how to improve the LIRR for riders. The state budget made a number of changes to the MTA to improve service for riders (MTA RAIL Act, $4 billion

in capital funding for MTA, forensic audit of MTA), but more needs to be done, and that starts with hearing directly from riders. The link to survey is: www.nysenate.gov/ questionnaires/james-gaughran/senatorgaughrans-transit-survey. The survey is available in English, Spanish and other languages. These town halls will be held over the next few months during peak rider hours both in the morning and evening commute to reach as many riders as possible.

Road rules

We can’t help but notice while commuting to work or on the road to cover a story that many people aren’t yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles which race to help our neighbors. It’s a complaint we’ve heard from our fellow drivers as well as the men and women who dedicate their time to making our communities a safer and better place to live. Whether on a congested road or one where traffic is flowing freely, not yielding to a fire truck, police car or ambulance with their lights flashing and sirens blaring could lead to firefighters not being able to rescue the occupants of a burning house or a heart attack victim not being saved. For decades, the main rules have remained simple — slow down and pull to the right of the road parallel to the curb and stop when you see an emergency vehicle with its lights and siren on near the vicinity of your vehicle. Don’t merge back into traffic until all emergency vehicles have passed, unless a police officer if present tells you otherwise. Of course, rules suggest motorists keep clear of any intersection and not tailgate a fire truck in hopes of bypassing all the other drivers who are trying to merge back into traffic. For years now, in New York state, drivers must also be mindful of emergency or hazard vehicles, such as tow trucks, that are parked, stopped or standing along the side of a road. Called the Move Over Law, drivers are required to slow down and move over a lane away from the vehicle if it’s safe to do so. Of course, many people are familiar with the laws, and others may not necessarily be breaking them on purpose. Car cabins today are made to keep outside noise to a minimum, so it was no surprise to us when we learned that many local fire departments are using horns with a deeper bass feature so drivers can feel them in addition to hearing them — if they hear them. Sometimes, it comes down to being more mindful while sharing the road with both other vehicles and the people in the big red-and-white trucks with lights flashing. Not hearing these sirens can also be attributed to car stereos or from people enjoying their music with earbuds. There is also the case of drivers distracted with their cellphones or when texting, even though it’s illegal. As the weather gets warmer, and more people will be out on the road trying to enjoy all the Island has to offer, we encourage our readers to reacquaint themselves with the rules of the road or pay closer attention to other vehicles. If you’re already well versed in the laws, have a conversation with others in your life, especially younger ones who are not as familiar with the rules. The main goal is to make it easier for our emergency workers because if it were our house or life they were saving, or that of a loved one, we would want them to get to us as quickly as possible.

Letters to the editor

Acknowledging inequality in school districts

I read with interest your editorial from April 18 — “Reform school taxes.” This is a topic about which I had written you in 2006. Nothing has changed in 13 years. It is not just that “these measures are merely band-aid solutions to a larger, chronic problem: income inequality.” While income inequality is indeed a huge problem in America, this is not the sole cause of many of the problems encountered in our public schools. These are caused principally by the mechanism of school funding and in the structure of school administration. For historical reasons, schools in the U.S. are funded primarily through property taxes, resulting in there being good school districts and bad school districts. That is, education funding and educational opportunities are zip-code dependent. Why do we tolerate this? To effect a fairer distribution of resources so that all our children have

comparable access to a quality education several steps need to be taken. First, we need to acknowledge that there is inequality in educational opportunities. Second, we need to commit to eliminating this inequality. Third, the financial underpinning of primary and secondary school must be changed. And fourth, the cost of education per se could be reduced without any loss of quality. Some solutions come immediately to mind, such as the dependence on property taxes to fund our public schools must change. All of us, not just property owners, should pay for public education, the product of which, educated children, benefits all of us. To distribute the burden more fairly, our public schools should be funded through a simple but progressive income tax. The distribution of the money so raised should be based on the number of students in a given school, the particular

needs of that set of students and the physical needs of a given school. And second, the administration of our public schools should also change. To reduce the per student cost of education without any loss of quality, we could consolidate school districts. Suffolk County has 69 school districts in 10 towns, plus charter and other schools. Of these, by my count, there are 13 school districts in Brookhaven Town. Each school district is a taxing authority and has staff redundant with neighboring districts. One school district per town should work, thereby reducing substantially the administrative costs. How much of taxpayer money would that save? Think about it. Identifying solutions to these problems is possible, but it will take politicians with leadership skills and some courage. These are characteristics uncommon in politicians simply seeking re-election. Roger Johnson East Setauket

Consider donating to local nonprofit You see so many commercials each day containing information about shelter pets, recovering patients at our local hospitals, varying ways to lose weight, but you haven’t seen us. We are the volunteers and clients of Three Village Meals on Wheels. I’m sure you know at least one volunteer or one client connected with this wonderful organization. At midday, Monday through Friday, two appetizing and nutritional meals are delivered: a hot lunch on a tray and a bag containing a cold meal. Have you ever wondered how we’re funded? We are not affiliated with the

national Meals on Wheels program. This allows us to serve clients of all ages as we do not require clients to be at least 60 years old. Since we are not connected to the federal program, we receive no federal funding. We rely strictly on fundraising to keep the program going. Many of our clients pay for their meals; however, we have more and more clients who cannot afford to pay for them, and we therefore subsidize their costs. Our main fund drive is in the fall, but we appreciate any contributions at any time. While on this subject, we would like to thank the Stony Brook Community

Church Youth Group, who recently supported our organization by hosting the Empty Bowl Soup & Bread Supper. The youth decided the profits from this night would go to support Three Village Meals on Wheels. We would love any group looking to support a local organization to consider us. Donating to us is simple. Go to our website www.3villagemealsonwheels.org and click on the “To Donate” button. We also accept checks, which can be mailed or delivered to our office at 216 Christian Ave., Stony Brook, NY 11790. Diane Melidosian Stony Brook

Thank you to Three Village Church I attended the Easter egg hunt at the Three Village Church in East Setauket, across 25A from Se-port Deli, this past Saturday. I had been to the egg hunt a few years ago when it was held outdoors, in good weather, and had wondered how the church would be able to reproduce the wonderful experience my grandchildren had that day. I was so impressed. The inside of the church’s building was transformed into a “playground” for children. There was a lovely film to explain the meaning of Easter in a way that children could easily

understand. The rooms and activities were well organized. There was a specific sequence of events for each age group which allowed the children to go from one place to another easily and stress free. So many children but no crowded or inaccessible areas. The staff was welcoming, and it was so obvious that a lot of hard work went into the planning and execution of this beautiful event. Games were set up and even a table of treats, fruit and flavored water were provided for all. In this day and age, when so many

troubling events occur around the world, the generosity of the members of this church is such a breath of fresh air. It is a reminder of the goodness of mankind and that there are still caring, thoughtful and generous people among us. This event was free and open to all who wished to come. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who worked so hard to give so much. You have contributed to making this world a better place. Christine Raser Lake Grove

The perfect imperfection of a posed picture

S

omething about a posed picture brings out the prankster in me. I realize, of course, that posed pictures can and do capture a moment when a group of people come together. In fact, I recently visited the athletic center of one of the colleges that admitted my daughter and stared, for hours, at the faces of D. None athletes over the decades who took of the above time out from their BY DANIEL DUNAIEF sports games and practices to have a picture taken. Without the uniformity and decorum, these pictures would have been a free-forall with little structure.

And yet, in my own life, I can’t help seeing the camera and the formal process as an invitation to assert my individuality or, at the very least, to force the formality off someone’s face. I can trace this back to formal extended family photo sessions we had when my brothers and I were young teenagers. Every so often, the aunts, uncles and cousins would get together. When they did, someone inevitably wanted to capture the moment for people to revisit years later, which, I guess, is around now, given how long ago the younger versions of ourselves forced a smile on our faces for those pictures. So, anyway, I remember this one picture, when I was standing between both of my brothers, which made sense at the time because I am the middle child and my younger brother hadn’t decided I stopped way too early in the height department. As the photographer was getting ready to take the picture, I reached down as subtly as I could and pinched my older brother’s thigh, causing him to grin broadly at just the right moment, if you’re me — or the wrong moment, if

you’re the photographer. To her credit, my mom kept that goofy picture because, unknown to me, the photographer had taken a head-to-toe shot that clearly showed my fingers pinching my brother. When my younger brother got married, I recall my father’s extended family all trying to line up for a family photo or, as my aunt said at the time, a fa-mi-lee pho-to, as she enunciated each syllable in a way that would cause poets to cringe. She accented all of the syllables and spoke so loudly that the camera picked up her demand to get everyone in their place. Later, as we watched my brother’s wedding video, the whole family discovered an unknown treat. At some point, the videographer had clearly asked my uncle, one of the more serious and least playful people I ever met, if he had any marital advice for the newlyweds. Seated in a chair by himself, with the music playing in the background and plates of hors d’oeuvres passing in and out of the frame, he paused for a moment before looking straight at

the camera. “It’s a sense of humor,” he said, cracking the smallest of wry smiles. As my daughter and nephew prepare for their high school and college graduations, I can’t help wondering what the young men and women in the photos will be thinking when the many amateur photographers insist that they move a step to their left, lean to their right, stand up straight or open their eyes wider, no, less wide, no, wait, wider. Hopefully, my daughter and nephew will be able to look back at pictures and see something more than a group of people celebrating one moment as they prepare for the next one. Hopefully, the camera will capture something, small though it may be, that brings a smile to their faces months or years later. Maybe the perfect imperfection will transport them back to the moment someone insisted that they “give us a natural smile” on cue.

My family is celebrating big time this year

C

elebrations are a beautiful thing. Besides being festive, they tell us who we are, where we come from and maybe even where we are going. For example, the Fourth of July reminds us that we are Americans, Thanksgiving Day prompts stories about our history and that we have aspects of our lives to be thankful for. Religious holidays strengthen our beliefs and traditions. And the best part of celebrations can Between be that they bring us together — as you and me a nation, as sports BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF fans of a winning team, as members of a particular block or just as a family. My family looks to ceremonialize as much

and as often as we can. The month of May has been especially kind to us in that regard this year. For starters, my oldest grandson will be graduating from college in Boston in May. My granddaughter will graduate from high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, later in the month. Both have earned their next stage in life. To continue the party, my youngest son will celebrate a big birthday at the beginning of July. We try to get together for some of the Dunaief birthdays each year. And any other excuse — new job, acceptance to college, a new success at work, an honor bestowed on a member — any occasion serves. A triumph by one can be an opportunity to rejoice by all. Celebrations can establish traditions, and traditions can provide structure for each year. With such framework can come togetherness and the security of a community. The community can be as small as a family coming for Sunday dinner to eat the tomato sauce that’s been cooking slowly on the stove in grandma’s kitchen much of the day. Or it can be as large as one of the world’s great religions that transcend national

and international boundaries. A community can be of one’s sex, or age, or station, or nationality, or village, or school district or neighborhood. There is great power in community — a defining and anchoring identity, a sense of inclusion. So how do most people celebrate? The answer is usually with food, but not always or only that way. For my grandson’s graduation, we will all come together in the bleachers of Fenway Park and variously cheer or boo the Red Sox, depending on our individual intelligence. We will stay in the city a couple of days and perhaps visit one of the many terrific museums. Maybe we will even take a duck boat ride on the Charles River or a swan boat ride on the Boston Common or a historic walk through the many hallowed neighborhoods. Any and all of those will make for lifetime memories that will encourage us to further celebrate by making them into traditions and perhaps repeating them or recalling them with amusement whenever we get together. Common stories are part of what unite us, as a people and as a family. Oh, and there will surely be lots of seafood throughout

our stay in Beantown. In Charlotte, we will be newcomers eager to explore the new hometown for one of my sons and his dynamic family. Before they moved, we were already acquainted with how long the flight was from here to there, and which airlines made the trip. It is inherently exciting to explore a new region of the country, with its different festivities, histories and traditions — and regional foods. By now you have surely gotten the correct impression that my family enjoys traveling and celebrating on its stomach. For my youngest son’s birthday, there is always a baseball game involving us. He gets to stay up at bat as we take turns pitching to him, and he typically knocks the ball out of the park. Other times we get to chase it all over the field. Such is the privilege of the birthday kid. They are completing one stage and entering the next one, members of my family, and that is so significant as to be noticed and marked with congratulations and optimism. By celebrating together, we are saying, “Well done! And we are with you all the way.”

HUNTINGTON TOWN RESIDENT Q&A WHAT THE ONGOING NORTHPORT TAX TRIAL MEANS FOR YOU

The Long Island Power Authority is challenging the Town of Huntington’s $3.4 billion tax assessment of the Northport Power Plant in Suffolk County Supreme Court. Here are some common questions and answers on what this means for you.

With annual taxes of $84 million, the Northport plant is the highest taxed property in the United States – more than Disneyland and the Empire State Building combined. LIPA has sought a fair assessment for nearly a decade. Like any responsible homeowner or business who is overpaying, LIPA is now challenging the assessment so that an independent, third-party – a court – can determine the plant’s fair value.

WHY IS THE NORTHPORT POWER PLANT’S TAX BILL SO HIGH? The Town of Huntington has significantly overvalued the plant. For example, the Caithness Power Plant in Yaphank produces 50% more energy than the Northport plant each year with a tax bill of $9.6 million. Northport’s $84 million annual tax bill results from the Town’s $3.4 billion valuation, which exceeds that of a brand-new power plant built on Long Island.

HOW MUCH AM I PAYING IN MY ELECTRIC BILL FOR HIGH POWER PLANT TAXES? The typical Town of Huntington resident pays approximately 5% of their electric bill, or $85 a year, to support the school districts and local governments surrounding four of Long Island’s oldest power plants, including the Northport Plant. 2% of your electric bill goes directly to the Northport community, mostly to the Northport – East Northport Union Free School District.

WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF THE NORTHPORT POWER PLANT? Energy production at the Northport plant has declined by nearly 80% since 1999. The plant uses 50-year-old technology, which is more expensive to operate than modern power plants. As new, cleaner sources of energy are added to the electric grid, the use of the plant will continue to decline. Bringing the taxes down to a more sustainable level will better position the plant to continue to operate and will help attract future clean energy investment to the site.

WHAT HAPPENS IF LIPA WINS IN COURT? LIPA estimates that a fair valuation of the Northport plant would immediately increase the school taxes for a typical resident of the Northport-East Northport School District by over $200 per month. In addition, the Town of Huntington could owe LIPA’s customers over $650 million in tax refunds dating back to 2010 for over-assessing the plant. That’s over $5,000 per Huntington household.

WHAT IS LIPA’S SOLUTION? LIPA has offered a fair settlement to the Town of Huntington to phase down the taxes on the Northport plant from $84 million to $42 million per year over the remaining term of our contract to purchase power from the plant, which expires in April 2028. That would provide the residents of the Northport-East Northport School District with time to adjust to a more sustainable level of tax payments while waiving the Town’s $650 million tax refund liability to LIPA’s customers. LIPA estimates that the average household in the Northport-East Northport School District would see an increase of $13 per month in their school tax bill for each year of the settlement. That would be a cumulative increase of $117 per month by 2028. School district residents would still benefit from substantial tax payments not received by other districts in the Town of Huntington – continuing to hold down school tax rates for the Northport community. The increase for other Town residents would be less than $1 per month.

HOW DOES LIPA’S SOLUTION COMPARE TO THE PORT JEFFERSON POWER PLANT? The Town of Brookhaven and Village of Port Jefferson accepted LIPA’s settlement offer for the Port Jefferson Power Plant last year. The Port Jefferson plant has experienced a similar decline in usage, uses similar dated technology, and has similar operating costs as the Northport plant. The offer to the Town of Huntington for the Northport plant is the same as the Port Jefferson settlement.

IS LIPA’S SETTLEMENT OFFER STILL AVAILABLE? The settlement offer is still available, but the trial to determine the fair tax bill on the plant is ongoing and there’s not much time left. LIPA would like to help the Northport community adjust to a more sustainable level of tax payments on the plant over the remaining term of our power purchase contract. The longer a settlement is delayed, the shorter the transition period for the community until our power contract ends in April 2028.

WILL I SEE THE SAVINGS FROM A REDUCTION OF TAXES ON THE NORTHPORT PLANT? Yes. LIPA is run on a not-for-profit basis. Our customers pay our actual cost to buy electricity and deliver it to your home or business, with any changes automatically reflected in your monthly electric bill.

WHO HAS THE AUTHORITY TO SETTLE THIS CASE? WHAT CAN I DO? LIPA and the Town of Huntington are the parties that have the legal authority to come to a fair settlement that puts Northport’s taxes on a more sustainable path. For more information, go to lipower.org.
