N’pt drug and alcohol task force has fun being drug free

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The halls of the W. J. Brosnan Building were roaring with cheers Monday night as elementary students in Northport learned how to have fun and stay drug free during a game night hosted by the Northport-East Northport Drug and Alcohol Task Force.

Kids from all five of the elementary schools in the district battled for prizes in Family Feud, dance competitions and more, while also learning about ways to avoid peer pressure and enjoy a drug-free life. Parents of the students sat in the audience to cheer on the contestants.

Anthony Ferrandino, co-chair of the task force, said the group wanted to do something in the realm of prevention, aimed at fifth-graders who are transitioning to middle school.

“We wanted to hit the younger kids with the prevention message but do it a little bit differently, where they were having fun while learning,” Ferrandino said in a phone interview. “We wanted to show the kids, if you don’t do drugs you can have fun.”

The co-chair said he got in touch with Kym Laube, the executive director of Human Understanding and Growth Services,

School ballot breakdowns: candidates, budgets By victoria espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com

Harborfields

The Harborfields school district has two seats to fill this May and four candidates.

The school runs an at large election, meaning the two candidates with the most votes will fill the two seats.

Vice President David Steinberg and Trustee Nicholas Giuilano’s terms are up, however only Steinberg has chosen to run again, with three resident challengers looking for a first term on the board.

Chris Kelly is running for a third-time, hoping to finally secure a seat. Kelly has been working in the market data business for the past 19 years, and said he wants to bring his professional skills to add something “unique” to the board.

“I deal with a lot of changing variables and big budgets, and I need to anticipate what the future is going to hold,” he said in a phone interview. “I see this aligning with the school district perfectly.”

He has volunteered for the Harborfields Get Out the Vote committee and the Parent Teacher Association.

Anila Nitekman said she moved from Manhattan to Greenlawn because of the strong reputation the district had.

She’s the founder of Tiny Bites Food Shears, and has worked for Cablevision, American Express, and the city of New York after 9/11.

“I have worked to develop and cultivate collaborative partnerships,” she said in a phone interview. “And I think I could create a unique opportunity to bring new partnership opportunities to the district.”

She said she wants to partner students with industry leaders to help kids with their future careers.

Steinberg said he is eager to continue the work of the board, which he said has been very successful lately, including the creation of a new technology initiative.

“The district has very strong momentum,” he said in a phone interview. “With a new superintendent and Tech 2.0, there is a lot of great work happening here. Why wouldn’t I want to continue to work with this community?”

He said the support from the community has been great, like the $50,000 recently raised for Tech 2.0 by a Harborfields organization.

Lauri Levenberg has been a district resident for more than 20 years, and said she has the insight to help lead the school in a positive way.

“The most important issue facing Harborfields is how to provide an education for the whole child while remaining fiscally responsible to the community,” Levenberg said in her candidate statement.

She works as a speech therapist in the Three Village school district, and has served on the board of religious organizations including Temple Beth El in Huntington.

other term on the board.

Pisacani said the decision was not an easy one.

“I dedicated an enormous amount of time to my board of education duties,” she said in an email. “It was many hours away from my family and many hours away from my own professional development.

My motivation for joining the BOE was to assist in bringing change and stability to this school district.”

Thompson did not return calls for comment.

However McNaughton is still eager to continue serving her community.

“I still have a passion for it,” she said in a phone interview. “We should be taking enthusiastic 5-year-olds and making them into enthusiastic Northport-East 18-year-olds.”

She said the Northport Northport: district is goW i t h $163.5 million budget, a 1.29 percent increase ing in a only one from last year.

Harborfields:

A household with a $2,000 assessed value would see a tax increase of $85.22. The budget would add grounds staff for long-term maintenance, expand science research, special education programs, as well as enhancing the curriculum plan and initiatives, including the Harborfields 2.0 Technology Initiative, which is described as a plan to strategically align resources for longer-term sustainability. Someone who makes $75,000 or less is eligible for a tax rebate of $314.85, and then the three salary brackets after that go down by about $84 a bracket.

The challenger said he has an extensive background that would lend itself to a positive collaboration with the board. He has dealt in his profession with legal matters, civil rights issues, discrimination issues and more involving school districts.

Huntington

In the Huntington school district things are business as usual, as two incumbents are running unopposed for another term.

Vice president Jennifer Hebert and Trustee Xavier Palacios are both running for third terms.

Hebert and her husband have lived in Huntington for 20 years, and have two boys attending district schools, as well as a third in college.

A Long Island native, Herbert worked as a public school kindergarten teacher in Massachusetts for several years and is currently the director of the preschool program at St. John’s Nursery School in Huntington village.

She volunteers for the Huntington district in the Parent Teacher Association and has served as president and treasurer.

Hebert has served on various district committees through the years, including the long range planning committee.

Hebert said in her candidate statement she believes in listening to all sides of every issue. She is particularly passionate about public school education and believes the learning experience offered to Huntington students should be the finest in the nation.

Palacios is an attorney and a Huntington district alumni himself. He and his wife have three children, including a daughter who was a member of Huntington’s Class of 2016.

In 2008, Palacios purchased and renovated a distressed property in Huntington Station where he established a satellite law office along with a community revitalization non-profit organization.

Palacios volunteered in each of the past two years to serve as the high school mock trial team’s legal advisor, training students in the art of courtroom skills and strategies. He has spent hours working behind the scenes with coaches and athletes to help spur participation and promote excellence in the Blue Devil athletic program.

Palacios said in his candidate statement he has strived to be a problem-solver and to use his legal expertise to contribute to solutions regarding pressing issues facing students, teachers and taxpayers.

The school budget vote is scheduled for Tuesday, May 16

PersPectives

Part three: A lesson in sugar, not so sweet — the danger of fructose Your turn

“Natural” is one of the most abused terms in food marketing.

Most “natural flavors,” for example, are simply chemical compounds synthesized in the same laboratories as artificial flavors using slightly different techniques and sources.

Similarly, “fruit sugar” or fructose has an enticing natural sounding name, but very little of our fructose consumption actually comes from fruit. InBY chris zenYuh stead, we typically accumulate fructose via table sugar — half of every teaspoon turns to fructose in our digestive system — and/or high fructose corn syrup found in almost all processed foods and beverages, even fruit juice. Though coffee and tea are, by themselves, free of fructose, the commonly consumed versions with syrups and flavoring from familiar national chains are more akin to soda, nutritionally.

When it comes to fructose, you should keep a few things in mind to keep a more healthful perspective. As a sweetener, fructose hits 170 on a scale that ranks table sugar at 100 and glucose at 70. It also tastes sweet faster, browns faster, and holds more moisture than other sugars.

These characteristics have made fructose an industry favorite, especially once the chemistry behind high fructose corn syrup became cost efficient.

The only organ in your body that can process fructose is your liver. Metabolically, your body makes very little distinction between alcohol and fructose. Both are seen as poisons and both are detoxified by your liver accordingly. The primary distinction is that your brain can metabolize about 10 percent of the alcohol consumed, thus inebriation. Chronic exposure to fructose generates much of the same metabolic dysfunction as alcohol, including liver disease. Unfortunately, there is no “drinking age” for fructose, so even the youngest of children are regularly exposed to fructose.

Glucose and fructose molecules can stick to proteins in your body. This is known as glycation. The more your cells are exposed to these sugars, the more frequently this occurs. Your body does have the ability to disconnect these molecules, but too much glycation can overwhelm that system. Eventually, the attachments become permanent, known as ‘advanced glycation end-products’ or A.G.E.s (a telling acronym, for sure).

These compromised proteins cross-link with each other in a manner that disrupts their function. Collagen fibers that should slide past each other become rigid and tear under stress. Skin wrinkles, ligaments tear, and the lens of your eye can start to block light (glaucoma). Consistently high levels of exposure are recorded by your blood cells as the hemoglobin becomes glycated. Blood tests can thereby show your general glucose and fructose levels over the three months preceding the test and indicate a pre-diabetic condition.

Notably, fructose attaches to proteins seven to ten times faster than glucose, and it is harder for your body to undo these attachments. Following simple logic, that makes you age up to ten times faster, or faster than your dog.

Eating a reasonable amount of fruit is not a problem.

Beware of how easy it is to consume too much dried fruit, though. And remember that the true nutritional value of fruit resides in its vitamins, antioxidants and fiber. When consumed whole, the potential negative metabolic impact of the sugars within is greatly lessened by the presence of the other nutrients, especially the fiber. Consuming ‘fruit sugar’ isolated from these beneficial components of fruit, including fruit juice, is a far more dangerous game to play with your metabolism.

Knowing how your body responds to fructose enables you to make more healthful choices regarding food and beverages. Choose well, live well.

county New red light camera report stirs controversial reaction

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com The results are in for the 2015 Red Light Safety Program Annual Report — the most recent report to date — but there are still questions to be asked. The report, released in April, showed in 2015 a total of $31 million in gross revenue was collected from the program for citations issued from the start of the program in 2010 but paid in 2015 — a drop of some $1.9 million from the previous year.

However, an entire section is missing on accident data, which in years past indicated how many accidents occurred from right angles, rear ends, accidents that involved injury, what intersections they occurred at and more.

“It’s a disgrace,” Suffolk County Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) said in a phone interview. “They say it’s coming — but they won’t even tell us who prepares the report.”

Trotta is not the only person to raise this concern.

Personal injury lawyer David Raimondo, based in Lake Grove, agreed not knowing what company prepares the report is a red flag. He has worked on several injury lawsuits having to do with red light camera intersections and has filed a Freedom of Information Law request to discover what company creates the current annual reports on the program. Just last month he called for a federal investigation into the program.

“We don’t know who makes the report, they [Suffolk County government] claim the data used is correct, but I’m challenging that right now because I don’t think their data is accurate,” he said.

The county executive’s office did not respond to requests for comment. Every annual report has the Suffolk County seal on the cover as well as the seal of the county’s office of Traffic and Parking Violations Agency.

All services in maintaining, operating and managing the red light cameras are done

by Xerox, a corporation that entered into a contract with Suffolk County. Xerox provides a monthly invoice to the county for contractual requirements, and according to the study was paid $9.4 million that year. But it’s still unclear which entity condenses the raw data and creates the annual reports.

Raimondo also took issue with an article from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety referenced in the 2015 report.

“Red light cameras installed at intersections reduced the number of fatalities due to crashes at these intersections … there was a steep increase in fatalities at intersections that removed red light cameras,” the report stated.

The article also included data from 57 cities throughout the country between 1992 and 2014, comparing trends in fatal crash rates in those cities with trends in 33 cities that never had cameras.

The lawyer called the article “propagan-

‘It’s an insult to the residents.’

Legislator rob trotta is critical of the information missing from the newly released red light camera report; top right, a red light camera. da,” and said he has worked with many scientists and engineer experts who confirm red light camera programs do not reduce fatalities.

Another problem with the Suffolk County study, Raimondo said, is it does not include data on accidents involving bicyclists or pedestrians.

“Every single intersection with a camera and a crosswalk needs a report,” he said.

Red light cameras are placed in two types of intersections: New York State intersections, where a state road meets a state, county or town road; and non-state intersections, where a county road meets a county or town road. According to the report, intersections are chosen based on where the cameras would yield the highest safety result, but Raimondo doesn’t buy that.

“They’re putting them in areas with the highest volume of people who don’t want to go to court and can afford to pay the ticket,” he said. “They’re targeting middle class people. It’s a real racketeering operation, it’s enterprise corruption.”

Trotta echoed the sentiment.

“It’s a sham,” he said. “It’s the equivalent of a 63 percent tax increase on resident’s general fund tax, except this way the

Suffolk County executive can say he didn’t raise it — but in actuality he did and it’s absurd. He [Steve Bellone (D)] thinks the people of Suffolk County are idiots. It’s an insult to the residents.”

According to the report released last month analyzing the 2015 data, 352,472 red light camera fines were paid in 2015, including payments immediately after first notice of

a ticket and court-related fines. This has led to more than $17.6 million in gross fine revenues for the year ($19 million in 2014 on 380,809 fines paid). These fines and fees are deposited directly into a Suffolk County comptroller’s account, according to the report.

Some areas across Suffolk County saw more red light camera incidents recorded and tickets issued in 2015, but others stayed at a steady rate or saw a decrease.

The study details how many incidents a red light camera intersection tracks in a certain year, as well as how many tickets are issued from those incidents.

In 2015 in Huntington Station on Oakwood Road, a huge 73,217 red light camera incidents were noted, with 3,741 tickets issued, compared to 9,773 incidents noted and 602 tickets issued in 2014. Lake Grove had 86,343 incidents with 4,636 tickets issued in 2014, and the next year that number jumped to 106,145 incidents yet saw a drop in tickets to 4,435. In East Setauket on Route 347, more than 1,000 incidents were recorded than the prior year at 37,594, however 45 fewer tickets were issued at 1,838. On Miller Place Road, 117,016 incidents were recorded in 2014, with 7,055 tickets issued, and in 2015 there was a drop in incidents tracked at 113,915, with 6,088 tickets issued.

Each student had the opportunity to pick a book and sit next to Moby on the carpet where they read him a story. The objective of the visit was to provide a relaxed and “dog-friendly” atmosphere that allowed students to practice their reading skills.

“Most children just seem to naturally love animals, especially dogs,” said Gutheil. “Research has shown that these types of activities provide positive motivation to children as they sit by, read to and pet a calm and gentle dog.”

At the conclusion of the afternoon, the students sang a song that they wrote for Moby as a thank you that went along to the tune of “Bingo Was His Name-O.”

Thomas J. Lahey Elementary School

Kids with character

Forty-three Northport High School students were honored on April 25 at the school’s Kids with Character Luncheon. The high school holds the event twice a year to award deserving students with a certificate for showcasing excellent character in school.

The students were each nominated by one of their teachers for being a positive member of the school community. The students and several faculty members gathered in the school’s small cafeteria where pizza was provided.

Going green

T.J. Lahey Elementary School students recently learned about how to protect the environment in honor of Earth Day with a number of fun and engaging activities.

Third-graders in Noreen Paccione’s class focused on the importance of saving trees and

participated in a hands-on activity of making paper out of recycled magazines and newspapers. With the help of family volunteers, the 23 students created their own paper out of the recycled material by using water and mixing the clippings in a blender. The class is planning on using the paper that they created to make Mother’s Day cards for their loved ones.

tated the event and thanked the students for their positive contribution to making the school a better place.

“You are wonderful students who have stood out for displaying character, whether it be in the form of tolerance, respect, commitment, teamwork, persistence, selflessness or sportsmanship,” said Johansen. “Congratulations to you all and thank you for having the courage to do the right thing. You do make a difference.”

Each student was called up to the podium where they received a certificate and heard the positive recommendation from their teacher on why they deserved to be recognized.

Oldfield Middle School eighth-grader Danielle Barber recently earned first place in the Master of Invention category of the Long Island Family and Consumer Sciences Challenge for her innovative Footsy Faces prototype.

Danielle won a grand prize of $100 courtesy of the Long Island Family and Consumer Sciences Professionals. Her product, a line of face stickers that are placed in shoes to help children know the difference between the right and left foot, came about when Danielle assisted with swim classes at the local YMCA. Danielle helped the children put on their shoes after their lessons

and found that the children struggled.

“I tried my hardest to make the most unique thing that I could,” she said. “I was going through so many different ideas and this one just stuck out to me. I think it’s important because when I was younger it took me years to figure out which foot to put each shoe on.”

Danielle created a three-minute video as part of her submission for the contest that showcased her invention and featured her young cousin. She wanted to show a child actually using her creation to demonstrate how it works. Danielle’s sister Alissa won the Master of Invention Award three years ago.

community news Cold Spring Harbor Interactive initiative

To educate mental health professionals, Cold Spring Harbor resident and collaborative divorce attorney Kim Ciesinski, presented an interactive program to a group of Long Island social workers and clinical psychologists. Often considered first responders for people going through a divorce, Ciesinski enlightened the group about the benefits of collaborative divorce; how to determine who is an appropriate candidate; and the unique team approach.

“Divorce is a psychological process with legal implications,” Ciesinski, partner at Schwartz & Ciesinski, Garden City, said.

“With litigation, the kids end up suffering the most and negative emotions are reinforced during and after the divorce.” Using a collaborative approach, everyone is a winner as the couple creates their own settlement through the help of an interdisciplinary trained team of two lawyers, a financial advisor and psychologist. This process is unlike mediation where the couple is on their own with a professional guiding them along the way.

Locks of love

Huntington Hospital recently encouraged employees to donate their hair to Locks of Love and other hair donation groups that help cancer patients. The following employees participated: Lois Bascon, RN, from the oncology unit; Koko

Saito, nurse aide from the cardiac care unit; Jennifer Baierlein, RN, from nursing administration; Chris Fling, RN, from the post-anesthesia care unit; Maria Joanna Kummer, RN, from the psychiatry unit; and Nicole Menditto, nurse aide, from the oncology unit.

Boom

Supervisor Frank Petrone (D) delivered welcoming remarks April 27 at the opening session of the BOOM Business Network’s B2B Expo and Executive Speaker Conference, held at the Hilton Long Island.

In addressing the group, Petrone highlighted the most unusual feature of the expo: linking attendance at the event’s nine breakout conferences to individual Long Island charities, with the admission fee for each session going directly to a notfor-profit. Those organizations are “...the

safety net for our community that picks up where government leaves off,” Petrone said. He also noted that businesses can increase their success by linking to organizations that serve the community.

Petrone congratulated BOOM’s founder and president, Commack attorney Frank Gargano, for creating an event that attracted more than 2,000 people and a networking group whose membership ranks are growing. The supervisor joined the other officials and BOOM board members afterward in cutting a ribbon to open the business expo.

Sun safety

Councilwoman Susan A. Berland (D) urged residents to protect their skin during a special presentation entitled “Melanoma Prevention: Avoiding the Dangers of Tanning” at Huntington Town Hall. This program will be available on the Town’s television channel and website very soon. The video will also be shared with communities throughout New York state to educate residents about how to protect themselves from the dangers of tanning and the sun.

“I was first diagnosed with skin cancer

about eight years ago after I noticed an irregular mole on my lower back that turned out to be a precancerous dysplastic nevus,” Berland said. “As a kid I spent many days in the summer at the beach wearing sunscreen with little or no protection. I didn’t realize how much damage I would do to my body and just recently had my eighth procedure.

This program helped all of us realize how serious skin protection is, educated us about the dangers of both tanning outdoors and in the tanning booth and taught us how to detect skin cancer at an early stage.

Scenes from the Northport-East Northport Drug and Alcohol Task Force’s game night where elementary students competed and learned to be drug free.

task force Continued from page A3 “This was a unique way to send a message to the kids,” Ferrandino said. “We’re trying to start a positive culture because there’s so much negative energy.”

Laube, who Ferrandino described as “the queen of prevention,” said this type of interactive concept is successful at getting families and kids on the same page.

“He [Ferandino] took it to a whole other level though,” she said in a phone interview. “He turned it into more than just a one evening event. This culminated into weeks of learning about prevention — it reinforces the information. When young people get together and have fun and experience a natural high, it just reinforces

what the school is trying to do.”

Laube was the host of Family Feud and said the event was a total success.

“It was a blast,” she said. “Fifth graders have such an intense energy, and to see the joy of their parents watching their children have fun and be free, it was great. It was also a great showcase for what the task force is working to accomplish.”

Ferrandino said he agreed the night was great. Students won prizes like a pizza party for their school, tickets to Adventureland, laser tag and more alternative activities to have fun instead of drug use.

“It was awesome,” he said. “The danceoff was planned for 15 minutes, and the kids could’ve gone for more than an hour.

The hidden gem was really all the prevention work that was done weeks before last night, all the work the elementary counselor did ahead of time.”

Tigers go scoreless in second half, fall to Middle Country

By Bill landon Middle Country’s girls’ lacrosse team shut out Northport in the second half to cruise to a 14-5 victory May 8, and remain in a tie for the No. 2 spot in Division I with Smithtown East.

Northport midfielder Olivia Carner broke the ice on a penalty shot in the first minute of play, as the Duke University-bound sophomore stretched the net for the early advantage.

Middle Country 14 Northport 5

But the Mad Dogs answered with three successive senior goals. First, was Boston University-bound Ava Barry, then University of North Carolina commit Jamie Ortega and then Masullo twins Amanda and Rachel, both Long Island University Brooklynbound, teamed up for the 3-1 lead.

“I told my team to drop anything that we thought about this team and rely on our strength and determination,” Rachel Masullo said. “We really wanted this game.

It was a confidence booster.”

Northport’s Emerson Cabrera, a University of Florida commit, drilled two shots past the goalkeeper in under a minute to make it a new game, but Middle Country kept attacking.

Barry and the Masullo sisters did it again, and Barry found Amanda Masullo on the cut for a 6-3 lead with just under seven minutes left in the half.

“They’ve always been good, so we always have to be ready to play Northport,” Amanda Masullo said. “We stepped it up in the second half winning the draws on offense and we knew we had to settle in and not force it, so I think we really came to play today.”

Northport’s Natalie Langella, who is headed to Bryant University, cashed in on a penalty shot, and U.S. Coast Guard Academy-bound Brenna Farrington made it a one-goal game.

But the Tigers would come no closer.

A man up, Rachel Masullo dished the ball off to Barry for a goal, and then Orte-

ga, for an 8-5 advantage.

“It snowballed from there,” Northport head coach Carol Rose said. “These girls have got to work harder — they’ve got to play with some passion and more energy — they’ve got to have some more fight in them. They kind of just gave up. It was hard to watch.”

When the Tigers did get the ball, they struggled to transition up the field and when they did, the Mad Dog defense was up to the task.

“We knew they’d be motivated and really hyped, and they came out strong, but we took over in the second half,” Ortega said of Northport’s senior day. “We limited our turnovers, didn’t make mistakes and won a lot of the draws. But from here on out, we have to play our best because everyone wants to beat you, and in the playoffs you don’t have a second chance.”

Boston University-bound Jennifer Barry, Ava’s young— Carol Rose er sister, Amy Hofer, University of Michigan commit Sophie Alois and Camrynn Aiello all scored in the second half.

Rachel Masullo had one goal and six assists, Ortega finished with four goals and two assists, and Amanda Masullo notched a hat trick and added an assist.

“They played us tough, but I don’t think we played up to our potential,” Middle Country head coach Lindsay Dolson said.

“In the second half we had more draws, better defense and shot selection on offense, so I was pleased. Amanda Gennardo

‘These girls have got to work harder — they’ve got to play with some passion and more energy — they’ve got to have some more fight in them.’

did a really nice job on defense — she came up with a huge amount of ground balls for us and she transitioned it up the field with no turnovers and that was nice to see from our underclassman.”

With the win, Middle Country improves to 11-2 and sit under undefeated Ward Melville with two games remaining before postseason play begins.

“In the playoffs, if you lose, you’re out,” Ortega said. “I don’t want to lose in the playoffs.”

Editorial

Letters to the editor

Mother knows best With Mother’s Day coming up this Sunday, our editorial staff wanted to take a moment to reflect and give thanks for the powerful mothers and grandmothers who have shaped our lives.

Rita J. Egan: I think about unconditional love moms give, especially my own. I feel life is a little easier when you have a mother who doesn’t raise you with her own expectations as to how you should lead your life, but allows you to make your own choices based on what feels right.

Desirée Keegan: My mother is my rock. Growing up as one of two children of a single mother, I saw firsthand what hard work and sacrifice really are. She worked most hours of the day, yet made each moment with us memorable. Through bouncing from house to house — even living in a hotel for six months — my brother and I always had smiles on our faces. And she still finds a way to make me laugh. Since I was waist-high she’d spin me around the kitchen dancing to Michael Jackson or Luther Vandross, forever leading the way. I can always count on her, and I want her to know she can always count on me.

Victoria Espinoza: The first thing that comes to mind when I think of my mom is how unapologetically genuine she is. She can laugh at herself when she tries — and fails — to keep up with the times, she knows she’ll cry at any sad scene and will never hold back her tears, and she doesn’t care how many people hear her talk to her dogs (a trait I’m guilty of as well). She has taught me that above all else, the only thing I need to be in this world is authentically me.

Alex Petroski: My mom spent my entire childhood trying to make my life and the lives of my two brothers better than hers and her siblings’.

When I was a teenager, she went back to school to finally dedicate a little time to fulfilling goals she had for her own life. Her day-to-day work ethic and drive, and her refusal to give in when things were toughest were not lost on me, and I’m a better person for it. And sorry to break it to you, she’s a better cook than your mom.

Kevin Redding: My mom is my hero. She raised me on her own for the first six years of my life and, even though that couldn’t have been easy, my permanent memory of her in those days is her big bright smile and complete determination to make sure I was the happiest kid in the world. She is the strongest, funniest, coolest, sweetest, most kind-hearted, generous and encouraging person I’ve ever known. There’s never been anything I felt I couldn’t tell her and she has an unparalleled ability to turn any bad situation into a good one — anybody who’s ever crossed paths with her knows just how infectious her energy and optimism are. Not only does my mom brighten up a room, she fills it with song (“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin being her favorite) and no-holds-barred dancing (A little mix of Napoleon Dynamite and Ed Grimley). She’s a hardcore vegan who loves and protects animals, she does everything she can to take care of the needy, can throw a baseball like nobody’s business, loves to garden, and is always there when I need her. I love ya, Mom. Don’t forget to call the mother figures in your life this weekend and thank them for all they do.

Why you should support a single-payer plan There are tons of reasons to support a single-payer health care system in New York State.

There is the moral case for health care as a human right, which argues that all Americans, regardless of their social class, should be able to see a doctor and get medicine when they are sick. If that does not convince you, there is the argument for efficiency. There are many countries that currently use a single-payer system, such as England, France, Canada, and Australia (which President Trump just acknowledged has a superior health care system to our own). Numerous studies of these systems have shown that they provide universal coverage, better outcomes, and lower costs than the American system of private health companies.

There is also a general argument for individual savings for the overwhelming majority of Americans, 98% of which would pay less in a single-payer system than they are currently paying in premiums, copays, and deductibles. The list goes on and on.

However, there is one powerful reason that is rarely men-

tioned and would be particularly helpful for those living on Long Island: the substantial reduction of property taxes. Anyone who lives on Long Island knows that we have extremely high property taxes; no conversation about life on Long Island concludes without a property tax complaint. It is one of the main factors causing a local brain drain, as many young adults decide not to return to Long Island after college because they cannot afford to live on their own. High property taxes drive up rent costs and make a future of homeownership seem out of reach.

A recent report by Darius Shahinfar, treasurer for the City of Albany, shows that passing single-payer in New York, would open the door for drastic reductions in property taxes across the state. While much of our property tax goes to education on Long Island, a significant portion goes to fund Medicare.

The New York Health Act, the single-payer bill being debated in Albany, provides a different funding stream for an expanded Medicare-for-all system, freeing up local county governments

to lower property taxes. He estimated that in Albany “city taxpayers would conservatively save 28 percent of their entire tax bills in property taxes with a single-payer system” and added that taxpayers in other counties would see comparable savings. Additionally, the higher the value of one’s home, the larger the savings would be, making Nassau and Suffolk County residents some of the biggest beneficiaries of the NY Health Act’s property tax reductions. Even those in the top 2% (families making over $400,000 a year), who are the only folks asked to pay more than they are under the current system, would be paying less overall due to the savings in property taxes.

Sick of paying high property taxes? Sick of paying huge monthly premiums, copays, and deductibles? Kill two birds with one stone. Contact your state representatives in the Assembly and Senate and tell them to support the New York Health Act today.

OpiniOn Celebrating the infectious exuberance of youth

W

hat keeps us young? Well, certainly eating healthy foods, exercising and sleeping are all on that list.

But there’s something else that works, too. If you can, try hanging out with a group of younger people at a party, even if the music is loud and incomprehensible.

At a recent party, I wasn’t sure what my daughter was saying, as I watched her sing

By Daniel Dunaief every word with her eyes wide open and her hands fluttering at her sides like a butterfly’s wings.

It’s as if both of my children have sped up the needle so fast on their speech that I suspect that what’s

D. None of the above

coming out of their mouths probably started out as distinct words at some point. I’m hoping that the message they are repeating isn’t something offensive or objectionable, like, “Environmental regulation is bad, so let’s put the fox in charge of the hens at the Environmental Protection Agency. Go fox, Go fox, Go fox.” No, wait, this isn’t about politics.

A room full of children at the party, held by a family friend, made me think a bright scientist may one day figure out how to harness that energy, store it and release it at just the right time, either when someone needed to warm a house or a heart.

The next generation seems to follow a simple formula: Why walk when you can run, skip or flip, why talk when you can shout and why stay on the ground when you can challenge gravity to hold you down?

I recognize that loud parties filled with perplexing music may not be everyone’s cup of tea. The decibel level may damage hearing aids, destabilize pacemakers, or

rattle fillings or dentures.

You don’t need to attend a kids party, especially if you weren’t invited to one, to share the exuberance of youth. Have you stopped your car on the way back along familiar routes to watch a T-ball baseball game, to listen to a chorus singing music you might know, or to watch a marching band trying to master John Philip Sousa while figuring out what yard line they’re supposed to be on when they reach the high notes?

All that energy begets energy.

I’ve heard people talk about how their children keep them young.

Imagine multiplying that, even for a day or a few hours, by however many kids are celebrating the moment in a way that doesn’t get bogged down in blinking Blackberries, a pending deadline or a need to disappear into the immobile ether of the television.

And if you’re fortunate enough, you can engage with some of the next generation in questions they raise about the world. Many of us

think we are pretty knowledgeable. That may be the case, until a child asks us a question we can’t answer. Of course, we could rush to the internet to find an answer we might soon forget, or we could try to inch our way to an answer or even revisit a question we hadn’t pondered in years.

I’m sure teachers feel the same kinds of highs and lows that appear in so many other jobs. They have to discuss the Magna Carta year after year, or explain how the change in Y over the change in X represents the slope of a line.

But, then, every once in a while, a student may ask a new question that brings the material to life and gives the teacher an opportunity to learn from the student. The best answers inevitably lead to the next best questions.

Energy, insight, curiosity and joy don’t exist solely in the world of youth, but they are often easier to spot among a group of children whose joie de vivre lifts off at a party.

Surprise! Our parents are also people

O

n the eve of this year’s Mother’s Day, I have a question to ask you. Do you ever think of your parents as people? Sounds like an odd question, but I mean thinking about them in terms of the times they live through, their private satisfactions, their fears and phobias, the experiences that mold them and so forth. We know the facts they choose to tell us about their lives but

By Leah S. Dunaief not their deepest thoughts and feelings.

We can’t ever really know them, even though we grow up in their home. Most of us consider them as loving to us, making our lives comfortable, caring for us when we are sick, instructing us how to behave, making our favorite birthday dinners.

But there is more to their existence than their interactions with us.

Between you and me

I sat down to try and picture myself in their shoes.

I know that my father met my mother when he accompanied his older brother to the home of his brother’s fiancée for the first time.

There, coming down the stairs in a red dress, was the sister of the fiancée, my mother. To hear my father tell it, he was struck instantly and forever by Cupid’s arrow. Although he was only 15, the sight of her took his breath away. So we know what my father was feeling, but how about her? Did she catch sight of him and feel the same overpowering love at first sight? Was she coming downstairs merely out of curiosity to meet her older sister’s intended, then to slip away for the afternoon with her friends? Did she have nervous or polite conversation with my father?

What did they talk about? By the time she was 15 and he was 17, he had persuaded her to get married during her lunch hour in Manhattan’s City Hall. They prevailed upon two men in a nearby barbershop to be their witnesses and to swear that they were both of age. They then returned to work and to their separate homes that night.

My father was triumphant, I know, because he told us so, for now he had the love of his life as his own. Did he have any idea what that meant? You know, the stuff about making a home, supporting and caring for a wife? And my mother, my always and eminently practical mother? How had he convinced her to do this without telling her parents, her brothers and sisters, especially her older sister with whom she was dearly close? Hard as it is for me to picture, she must have been wildly in love.

Theirs was a youthful marriage that worked. They were seldom apart, only during the workday, and they eagerly reunited in the evenings. I could sense the quickening of her breath as we heard his key in the front door. And they began their nightly nonstop conversations as he entered the apartment. My sister and I fell asleep each night to the hum of their voices coming from the kitchen.

My dad was born in 1904, my mother in 1906, so they had both lived through World War I. My dad was lucky to be too young for the draft, but how did he feel seeing his

older brothers marching off to war?

And my mother? Was she worried about the fate of her older brother? I never asked them.

My parents decided everything together. My mother was more assertive about her opinions, but if my father didn’t agree she would back off. And while he seldom disagreed with her, when he did he was not reticent to let her know. They lived through the Great Depression, but I don’t know if they worried about money or job security. Were they afraid? There was no unemployment or health insurance then. Did they have nightmares about standing on breadlines? I never asked.

I do know that by 1939 they started their first business with all the life savings they had managed to scrape together. Then came Pearl Harbor and World War II. Once again my father was saved, being just beyond draft age. Did they feel threatened by the attack and the war? What were their thoughts and feelings? How did they cope with the stress? I came along then, but at no time in their lives did I think to ask.

Now, of course, it is too late.
