The Silver Restoration Event

On May, Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) joined Boy Scout Troop 204 at the Miller Place High School for an Eagle Scout Court of Honor ceremony to recognize Eagle Scouts David Argento, Marc Anthony DiFilippo, Erick Ecker and James DiPersio.

Eagle Scout is the highest rank that can be earned by a Boy Scout, and only a small percentage of scouts are granted this rank after earning 21 merit badges and a lengthy review process.

“Only those who demonstrate true hard work, skill and commitment to the community earn this prestigious rank,” Anker said. “I thank them for their local contributions and I hope that the actions of these young men inspire their peers.”

In order to become Eagle Scouts, each Boy Scout completed a community service project.

Argento created benches for the entrance to the Greenway Trail and cleaned up overgrown vegetation and litter in the surrounding area.

DiFilippo constructed an outdoor storage shed for Hope House Ministries in Port Jefferson.

Ecker built three benches for Hope House, and also beautified the Mount Sinai Friary property by clearing overgrown vegetation.

DiPersio constructed an outdoor waterproof kiosk for the Suffolk County Native Pollinator Garden at Heritage Park in Mount Sinai and installed a stone pathway to allow visitors to access the garden.

Steven Sarich also recently earned the rank of Eagle Scout.. He constructed benches and a planter at the Sound Beach Civic Association’s “Adopt-A-Spot” location on New York Avenue.

“Scouts like Steven are the leaders of tomorrow, and from what I can see of this outstanding youngster,” said Bonner, who honored him at a Sound Beach Civic Association meeting May 8, “I say that we’ll be in good hands.”

ning for Yannucci’s seat after the one-year term is up next year.

“There’s a very good possibility,” Smith said.

“I’m disappointed, but I wish all the candidates well and hope they make the best decisions for the students and district and community.”

The board’s new crop of trustees, who were all smiles after the results came in, said they were excited to help guide the district.

“I’m on a high,” said Perez, a professional engineer. “I’m thankful that people have faith that I can hopefully provide further vision toward taking the school district to the next level. I’m hoping to work collaboratively with everybody.”

Hunt, a former secondary education teacher, echoed Perez’s call for collaboration.

“I think we have a diverse board and I’m thrilled to work with everybody,” Hunt said.

“The main thing we can do is change the narrative in the district to a positive one.

Shoreham-Wading River is a really great community and I think we can move forward by focusing on building on all the positive we have here. We can also do more to connect our communities.”

Yannucci said there’s a lot of work to be done to be a more transparent district.

“In my run, I think we had a strong message of bringing the community into the process and engaging a lot of people who were not engaged prior to the election,” he said. “There’s been a loss of faith over the last few years and I’m excited to be able to restore the faith and give the community a sense of pride in terms of the decisions and direction of the district.”

Anderson, a mother of two students in the district, is determined to get to work as soon as possible.

“I’m so thankful to the voters for how the vote went,” Anderson said. “I’m ready to serve.”

Shoreham-Wading River voters may have passed the school budget Tuesday night, but residents made it clear they want change.

The district’s $74,842,792 budget for 2017-2018 was supported by residents with 1,112 for and 992 against, as was a second proposition to establish a 10-year, $7.5 million capital reserve fund with 1,282 voters in support and 813 in opposition.

With the capital reserve fund secured, the district will be able to fund complete facility renovations across its four schools, such as Americans with Disabilities Act features, upgrading athletic fields, bleachers, auditoriums, computers, energy management systems and gymnasiums, among other projects.

“It’s a great relief,” Neil Lederer, the district’s interim superintendent, said of the budget and capital reserve fund passing. “I’m very appreciative of the community ... mistakes were made in the past, [and] we’ve corrected them for the future with this budget they voted on. The individuals who benefit the most from this are our students — we’ve got some very nice programs put in place next year.”

It was out with the old and in with the new when it came to the seven candidates who ran for four seats on the board of education.

Two incumbents, board president John Zukowski and trustee Jack Costas, were ousted with 524 and 563 votes, respectively, in favor of three school board newcomers — Katie Anderson (1,318), Henry Perez (1,303) and Erin Hunt (1,279) — who will each serve a three-year term.

Michael Yannucci, a former trustee from 2005 to 2008, received the fourth highest number of votes with 1,087, so he will occupy the vacant seat that belonged to longtime trustee Michael Fucito, who resigned in March before his term was up. He will serve a one-year term and was sworn in immediately after the vote.

Candidate James Smith missed the mark with 1,015 votes. Zukowski, who’s served on the board for six years, said he does not intend to run for the board again. Costas, who was up for his fourth term, also won’t run again.

“I did nine years, the community doesn’t want me, that’s it — I’m done,” Costas said. “I get the message. I’m glad the budget passed and I give the best of luck to the new board.”

Smith, however, expressed interest in run-

budget results

Jack Tressler wanted to try something new at the start of the academic year — so he threw his hat in the ring to be the student member of the Shoreham-Wading River board of education.

Tressler, a senior, was officially sworn in April 18 to sit in on board meetings and represent the student body by weighing in on district-related matters and discussions.

“I’ve learned a lot about how people conduct themselves and how things at the school are done and how people present their ideas,” Tressler said. “I don’t think a lot of people, especially students, know how these things work and now I have some idea. I’ve been able to present myself in front of professionals and act cordially and it’s helped me out in terms of public speaking, [something] I’ve always been weak with.”

But at his first board meeting, when a group of engineers proposed their plans to renovate the high school’s parking lot, Tressler was quick to speak up.

“They wanted to renovate the lot and most of their renditions would make for less parking spots, and being a student my-

self, the parking’s already a bad situation — there aren’t always enough spots.”

With just another month as a board member, Tressler, an AP physics and AP environmental science student, said he’d like to implement some change in regards to the school’s environmental standards, like switching to glass bottles in the district.

“In his role as a student board of education member, Jack has proved to be invaluable,” interim Superintendent of Schools Neil Lederer said. “He has provided the board with a unique student perspective that is important to consider when making decisions. I have also been impressed with Jack’s willingness to contribute and self-confidence.”

Tressler will serve on the board until the end of June, when he’ll pass the torch to a new student representative. In the fall, he will be studying physics and engineering at James Madison University in Virginia.

Mount Sinai incumbents re-elected, keep positivity high Budget results

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM

— $59 million budget YES: 1,007 NO: 251 BOE election results 1,013 votes — Robert Sweeney 866 votes — Edward Law Photos from Mount Sinai school district Robert Sweeney, Edward Law and Peter Van Middelem were re-elected — Peter Van Middelem 860 votes to Mount Sinai’s board of education.

597 votes — Michael McGuire

146598

The Mount Sinai community sent a clear message May 17 — they’re happy with the trajectory of the district. Three incumbents were re-elected to serve on the board of education and the district’s budget passed with 80 percent support.

Although turnout wasn’t quite what the district expected, the voters who did head to the polls overwhelmingly approved the $59,272,525 budget for the 2017-18 school year, with 1,007 for and 251 against.

“I’m very happy that it passed,” Mount Sinai Superintendent Gordon Brosdal said. “We have great programs here. We can maintain those programs. We made the AP Honor Roll two years in a row, almost every team right now is in the playoffs, our music program is better than ever, so to be able to keep those programs is great, but we’re not resting on that.

Now we can get to work on bolstering our elementary reading program, we have a new principal coming in who has high expectations. There are programs we want to put in place that a lot of our kids need in the elementary school.”

He commented on the 200 person drop in voter turnout.

“I’m not happy,” he said. “We have 9,000 eligible voters. I’d like to see 500 to another 1,000 approve it so we have everyone together.”

Incumbents Robert Sweeney (1,013), Edward Law (866) and Peter Van Middelem (860) were all re-elected. Challenger Michael McGuire, who ran last year, nearly doubled his 2016 results, with 597 votes.

“I am honored and humbled that the community decided to re-elect me ... to try to do my best for the residents and students,” Law said. “I’m looking to bring back the same stability and fiscal discipline while expanding our programs ... to bring students more opportunities.”

For Van Middelem, that’s what it’s all about.

“It’s all for the community,” he said. “First and foremost on all our minds is doing what’s best for the people here.”

Law addressed the challenges the district is facing.

“Whether it’s infrastructure and building repairs, our programs, our class sizes are getting smaller,” he said, noting a shrinking student population. “It’s now about how we maintain or keep on enhancing our programs given our fiscal financial constraints. And that’s what I hope to continue to work on.”

The district will maintain its K-12 programs, including the recently established full-day kindergarten, advanced placement offerings in the high school and its recently established Columbia Writing Program for 2017-18.

The spending plan for next school year includes funds for an academic intervention services teacher in reading, a second security guard, an additional nurse and three new courses — virtual enterprise, college accounting and culinary arts.

Sweeney said he is excited about the new offerings.

“It’s going to be huge,” he said. “Maybe we’ll have neighboring districts who will be interested in sending their students and maybe they have programs we would be interested in.”

He said he’s looking for ways to improve the district.

“We need to start looking at how we can innovate,” he said.

“We can’t rely on the state to take care of us.”

He said with teachers and staff who are willing to take on the challenges, he’s proud to see how far the district has come.

“You go back in time, this was a feeder district,” he said. “We had two little schools and we weren’t a big deal. This little district, 2,100 students, leads in AP, in colleges we go to, championships in sports. This district has started to really show how to grow.”

Sweeney said the district is hiring a new elementary school principal with a Columbia Writing Program background, to enhance what already exists, and the Socratic method is used to help students talk through challenges in the high school, and he’s hoping to bring the same system to the middle school level.

“I feel very strongly about this community,” Sweeney said.

“I’m very proud and honored to serve. It’s a great school district. It requires real work and smart decisions. The community needs to realize how important it is ... this is our town. I live on the other side of the high school and we pick to live here.

We didn’t think about this house versus that one, we picked to live here because of this school district. I dare say if you asked many of out community members, that’s what they did.”

The Miller Place and Rocky Point school districts saw community members come out with enormous support for each of the 2017-18 budgets.

In Miller Place, voters passed the $126.2 million spending plan 763 to 162.

“On behalf of the board, we thank the community for supporting our proposed budget with a passing margin of 82 percent for the second year in a row,” Miller Place Superintendent Marianne Cartisano said.

“We look forward to partnering with the community to provide relevant and challenging instructional and noninstructional opportunities to our students, while supporting our staff, and maintaining fiscal sustainability.”

With no challengers, Lisa Reitan and Richard Panico were elected with 726 and

Miller Place board trustees Lisa Reitan and Richard Panico were re-elected. Rocky Point’s sean Callahan was re-elected, and newcomer Joseph Coniglione, with no challengers.

709 votes, respectively. Other write-in candidates totaled 23 votes.

“I’m very happy and honored to continue to serve for the next three years,” Reitan said in an email. “This board has worked so well together that now we can continue on without skipping a beat. I look forward to continue working with the administration and staff here to make Miller Place school district better everyday.”

In Rocky Point residents approved the $83,286,346 budget with 663 yes votes and 246 no’s. The district also sought voter approval to access $3,385,965 from its capital reserve fund in order to complete facility renovations across the district. For that proposal, 600 voted for and 312 against.

“We are extremely grateful for the com-

munity’s support of our proposed budget and capital improvement plan,” Rocky Point Superintendent Michael Ring said.

“The educational enhancements included in this budget are ones that we believe will further support the needs of Rocky Point students while also providing them with opportunities to succeed at even greater levels, while still maintaining our commitment to fiscal responsibility.”

Incumbent board of education member Sean Callahan and newcomer Joseph Coniglione, who is the principal of Comsewogue High school, were elected with 713 and 641 votes, respectively.

“I’m honored that the people had confidence in me,” Callahan said. “We’re just trying to continue to communicate with the

community, continue what we’ve done and have a more open dialogue. It’s not about me, it’s about what we can do for them.”

Coniglione has two kids in the community, and another on the way.

“I just really want to make sure it’s a wonderful district,” he said. “Rocky Point is already wonderful, and I hope to be a great part in continuing that.”

He said juggling two positions won’t be too much of a challenge, especially with support from the Comsewogue school district, and he’s also hoping to keep the communication lines open.

“I work in a district that’s very, very accommodating — they believe in education not just for their kids but for any community,” he said. “I think [this board] will be a nice team. We’ll collaborate to make good, healthy decisions for kids. We want to make sure we have their best interests in mind.”

Kids Need More’s paint night supports children with cancer

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com Locals unleashed their inner artists this week to ensure a fun summer for local kids coping with cancer.

At the Paint Pallet Party for Kids Need More, hosted at Recipe Seven in Miller Place May 16, families, friends and complete strangers bonded for a night of painting and fundraising to benefit the nonprofit’s sixweek summer camp at Saddle Rock Ranch in Middle Island. The proceeds will help cover the expensive costs of transporting kids from their home to the camp.

The camp, which kicks off June 26 and runs until July 28, is a fun-filled program where kids with life-threatening illnesses and special challenges overcome their obstacles through horseback riding and other equine-assisted activities. It’s one of several selfless events put on by the volunteers at Kids Need More, a nonprofit organization started in 2013 to enhance the lives of kids between 4 and 14 and their families.

So when Kayla Vigorito and Lula Lukasiewicz, members of the Bohemia-based accounting firm Cerini & Associates, were on the lookout to recognize and help out charitable companies in the area that are making a difference in their community, it didn’t take long to hit the ground running with a fundraiser for the organization.

“Kids Need More is basically Make-AWish on steroids,” Lukasiewicz said. “They do so much for the kids, they’re a family to them, and we wanted to help as much as we could. Kayla thought up the idea of a painting fundraiser — it’s all for a good cause and we definitely want to do it again.”

Vigorito said she was thankful so many people came out in support of the cause.

“Every day, we see the kids struggling and they’re sick and we wanted to do our part to help them experience things that the rest of us experience,” Vigorito said. “It’s very exciting that it all came together.”

Forty-five painters, all from towns across the North Shore, signed up with an entry fee of $30 to $50, which went toward painting materials supplied by JL Designs and for

Anybody not interested in painting could attend for free with an option to donate to the nonprofit at the door; raffle tickets, a 50/50 and a door prize were given out.

Incidents and arrests May 9 – May 15

Debris dumped at the Town of Brookhaven’s Tanglewood Park in Coram.

County executive signs law to protect our parks

By Desirée Keegan Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed legislation aimed at deterring illegal dumping at county parks — that includes tougher penalties for illegal dumping of hazardous materials, waste and debris. The new law allows for imprisonment of up to one year for each offense as well as increased fines of up to $10,000 for individuals and $15,000 for corporations convicted of illegal dumping.

“Illegal dumping is a crime and we will hold those accountable to the fullest extent of the law for engaging in activities that undermine our parks,” Bellone said. “This legislation sends a clear message that we will use every means at our disposal to deter this egregious behavior and do what is necessary to protect our most precious natural resources.”

He was joined by local legislators and Suffolk County Police Commissioner Timothy Sini at West Hills County Park in Melville, which was the scene of an illegal dumping incident in August 2016.

“If you dump in Suffolk County, we will find you,” Sini said. “We will come for you and we will hold you accountable.”

The newly signed law creates a separate penalty structure for dumping and makes it punishable as an unclassified misdemeanor. In addition, it increases corporate fines from $5,000 to $15,000 for dumping construction or demolition debris, hazardous materials or hazardous waste.

“Illegal dumping in our parks affects our environment, our quality of life and our safety,” said Legislator Sarah Anker (DMount Sinai), who sponsored the legislation. “Illegal dumping may contain toxic chemicals that can seep into our groundwater and negatively affect our health. It is important that we do everything in our power to prevent these activities from occurring and implementing this legislation is a step in the right direction.”

The bill signing highlights the county’s ongoing initiative to protect its 48,000 acres in preserved parkland throughout Suffolk County and takes place in the aftermath of debris being located in various Long Island public parks.

Schumer: We must choke off the source of fentanyl

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSPAPERS.COM One U.S. senator is hoping to cut off the flow of fentanyl to the many New York residents struggling with drug addiction.

U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) announced support for a plan that would stop supplies of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times stronger than heroin and is not commonly reversed by Narcan, a lifesaving overdose drug, because of how quickly it enters the brain. The drug has come from China, Mexico and other countries into New York City and across the United States. Schumer also publicly decried a just-revealed White House plan to gut the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s budget by 95 percent.

“President Trump’s nonsensical proposal is the most destructive contribution he’s made yet to the fight against the opioid and heroin epidemic, and another clear sign he has no intention of keeping the promises he’s made to the American people,” Schumer said in a statement. “While candidate Trump pledged to ‘take care’ of Americans struggling with addiction and spend the money to succeed, his proposal to eliminate funding for programs, such as High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area and Drug-Free Communities — which are instrumental in aiding local enforcement drug trafficking in many communities in New York, at the southern border and elsewhere — would effectively kick Americans seeking treatment to the curb and make our communities less safe.”

In 2017, the office received $388 million, and under the Trump (R) administration’s proposal, the office would receive $24 million in 2018. The Office of National Drug Control Policy, which was authorized in 1988 with bipartisan support, currently directs the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program, the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, the Drug Free Communities Program, anti-doping activities and the World Anti-Doping Agency. The proposed budget plan would also completely zero out the Drug-Free Communities and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas programs, which provide substantial support to treatment, prevention and enforcement efforts on the ground.

‘These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families. We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.’

— Chuck Schumer

U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, above, supports legislation that will help stop the supply of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid much stronger than heroin, below right, from entering the United States. Fentanyl overdoses are not commonly reversed by Narcan, seen administered on a dummy during a training session, below left, because fentanyl is extremely potent and short-acting.

“Senate Democrats will never vote to defund these vital programs, and I know there are many colleagues across the aisle who feel likewise,” he said. “I urge the President and Republicans in Congress to reject this proposal immediately.”

With fentanyl continuing its sprint onto the streets of New York City and Long Island, Schumer also launched a major push for the International Narcotics Trafficking Emergency Response by Detecting Incoming Contraband with Technology Act. The senator noted the bill is even more important now, with the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s funding on the chopping block.

“Fentanyl-laced heroin is devastating our communities and law enforcement needs to utilize every tool and technology to stop the flow of this deadly poison,” Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a statement. “The act will help law enforcement prevent fentanyl and other synthetic opioids from entering the country and will be a great asset in our efforts to dismantle the networks of traffickers and dealers who

are fueling lethal heroin addictions.”

The Schumer-backed bill, introduced by U.S. Sen. Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts), would give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the hi-tech tools and resources needed to improve detection capabilities and increase the seizure of illicit fentanyl shipped to the U.S. from abroad through mail and express consignment carriers. Schumer said he would work with his colleagues to take action on this issue that is destroying families in New York and the rest of the country, and do everything in his power to prevent Trump’s proposal to cut funds.

“These deadly substances are being delivered to our homes, being sold on our streets and destroying our families,” Schumer said.

“We know how they get here and where they come from, now we need to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection the resources to stop this flood and help save lives.”

Although pharmaceutical fentanyl can be misused, most of the fentanyl being sold on the street is illicitly manufactured.

While distributors in China are the principal source of the precursor chemicals used to manufacture the drug, as well as a source for finished-product illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogs, Mexico is the primary source for illicit fentanyl smuggled into the United States. Fentanyl suppliers then use methods to mislabel shipments or conceal them inside legitimate goods in order to avoid Customs and Border Protection detection.

In 2016, nearly 200 pounds of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids were seized, primarily from along the southwest border. This is a 25-fold increase of seizures in 2015.

In 2015, 753 people died of an opioid overdose and, as of April, that number was projected to hit 1,075 for 2016. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene says fentanyl is driving overdose death increases in New York City and is increasingly present in deaths from drug overdoses. There were 303 opioid-related deaths

in Suffolk County in 2016, including 171 related to fentanyl. In Nassau County, there were 190 opioid-related deaths in 2016, including 62 related to fentanyl.

“Fentanyl is now killing more Long Islanders than even heroin is, and we know it’s only a matter of time before the next deadly synthetic opioid hits the streets,” said Jeffrey Reynolds, president and chief executive officer of the Family and Children’s Association, a not-for-profit agency that helps protect and strengthen vulnerable children, seniors, families and communities on Long Island.

“As substance abuse prevention specialists and addiction treatment professionals work to reduce the demand for drugs, the act will help reduce the supply of synthetic opioids flooding across our borders, into our homes, schools and communities. This legislation is critical as we continue to battle an unrelenting opioid and heroin crisis.”

Business owner seeks to make changes in local government

By Rita J. Egan Rita@tBRnEwspapERs.com Inspiration comes from various situations, and for Cindy Morris, 38, political turmoil in our nation and her displeasure with local government has moved her to create change right in her own town.

On March 21, Morris announced via social media that she was planning to run for Brookhaven town clerk, a position currently held by Donna Lent. After being screened by the Democratic Party, the divorced mother of two will accept the nomination for town clerk at the Brookhaven Democratic convention May 24.

Morris has become a strong presence at local political rallies supporting women’s rights and environmental protections. She is also among many who challenged U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to hold public town halls, by participating in rallies outside his office as well as sending letters and making calls to his staff members.

The founder of the activist group Time2Care Long Island said her decision is part of “an overarching plan to bring progressive activists into the political field and help them become more active.”

“The constituencies are not necessarily being listened to by their representatives, and as long as that is true, we need to change the representatives,” Morris said in an interview.

“And that starts at the local level.”

When attending political rallies, especially in Washington D.C., one of the messages that has been repeated is to become more involved in politics and run for office, she said.

“I thought there’s no way I’m running for office,” she said. “That wasn’t even on my radar, and as I kept learning more and seeing more, I realized the only solution was for people to run.”

Early this winter, she attended workshops for those interested in running for political office, given by the Brookhaven Town

Jonathan Kornreich from Stony Brook attended a kick-off campaign party for Morris at C’est Cheese in Port Jefferson April 27. The investment manager said the party was wellattended by many he didn’t recognize from past political events. He believes Morris is part of a political awakening.

“She’s someone who seems to be really caught up in the passion of current events and so I think she represents something that is very different,” Kornreich said.

When it comes to a new political awakening, Morris agrees.

“I think what we’re experiencing right now is one of the most vocal and educated electorates in generations, and when you are educated on the issues, and you are able to think about them as individual people, it’s very hard to believe in some of what’s been happening right now,” Morris said. “As time goes on, I think that education will change peoples’ votes.”

Town amends nitrogen protection zone law

By Alex PetRosKi alex@tbrnewspapers.com In June 2016, the Brookhaven Town board voted unanimously to approve a local law proposed by Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) that established nitrogen protection zones within 500 feet of any body of water on or around Long Island. The zones prohibit new structures or dwellings being built in that range from installing cesspools or septic systems, which took effect in January.

At a board meeting last week, an amendment was passed that will allow the board to adjust the former law, which allows for 19 milligrams of nitrogen per liter of water discharged from new septic systems or cesspools. This will come following the release of new technology that will make lowering the amount of nitrogen possible. It is uncertain what the new level may be, but once the town knows what it is, the board will be able to lower the limit immediately with the new amendment. Without the amendment, the limit would have to have waited to be put into effect Dec. 1.

“This law says we’ll meet the standard, but the minute there’s a lower standard, we will go with the lowest possible standard,” Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said during a public hearing on the amendment April 27.

‘We’ve all watched our waters degrade over the last 50 years. We all know part of the problem is nitrogen.’

— Ed Romaine

Mary Anne Johnston of the Affiliated Brookhaven Civic Association commended the town’s actions during the hearing.

When the law was initially passed in 2016, Romaine spoke about the importance of limiting nitrogen in Long Island’s waters.

“We’ve all watched our waters degrade over the last 50 years,” Romaine said after the vote at a town board meeting held on June 9, 2016. “We all know part of the problem is nitrogen…the solutions to this problem are neither easy nor cheap. But doing nothing is not an option; we must act now. Our future depends on us addressing this problem.”

Town saves taxpayers $7.15 million during decade By desiRée KeegAn Desiree@tbrnewspapers.com The Town of Brookhaven will save $7.15 million during the next decade through a major bond refinancing.

The 11-year bonds, which were originally issued in 2008 and 2010 to finance town-wide improvements to parks, landfills, roads, town facilities, and historic/open space preservation, were sold at an interest rate of 1.65 percent, replacing the original bonds with rates of more than 4 percent.

The new bonds were sold during the lowest interest rate environment since November 2016, with the 10year Treasury Bond peaking at 2.6 percent during the last several months and hitting a low of 2.18 percent on the day of the bond sale.

“Brookhaven’s AAA credit rating and conservative fiscal management poli-

cies have allowed us to once again take advantage of historically low interest rates,” said supervisor Ed Romaine (R).

In addition to refinancing the bonds, the town paid down $2.7 million of the outstanding principal. Paying down the debt on the old bonds resulted in interest cost savings to support future budgets.

“Unlike many other municipalities that are struggling fiscally, Brookhaven’s finances are getting stronger,” said Jane Bonner, councilwoman (C-Rocky Point) and the Town Board liaison to the finance department. “I look forward to working ... in the year ahead to build on the success we have achieved.”

Brookhaven had nine investors bid competitively on the new money bond sale. The strong investor confidence and interest puts the town in a unique position to achieve high interest cost savings for the taxpayers.

The program primarily targets singlefamily, owner-occupied residences. It excludes employees of the county.

Charlie McAteer, a retired Port Jefferson Station resident and a member of the Port Jefferson Station/Terryville Civic Association, said his home’s septic system is among the 360,000 that are a few decades old now.

“We want to investigate it a bit more — see if it’s viable and economically feasible,” McAteer and his wife said. “We just have to do some numbers-crunching and see if it makes sense and if we would qualify.”

Ed Bram, from Port Jefferson, expressed concerns the county isn’t reaching out to the right group of people.

“We all think it’s a wonderful idea ... so it’s sort of like preaching to the choir,” Bram said It’s a legitimate concern, Scully responded.

“There’s an education piece to this that people need to come to grips with,” Scully said. “It’s important for people to speak up.”

The County Executive hopes the project can get underway July 1, with 400 homeowners to be selected to receive funding in the first two years of the program.

For a few hundred dollars annually, Suffolk County residents now have the option to take a step to improve the quality of Long Island waters.

County Executive Steve Bellone (D) urged homeowners at a town hall meeting at Port Jefferson Village Center April 27 to get on board with a new grant and loan program that will help make the installation of state-of-the-art, nitrogen-reducing septic systems more affordable.

Bellone said the new systems, which would replace the 360,000 outdated and environmentally harmful septic tanks installed in a majority of homes across the county, are the next step in a years-long initiative to reclaim Long Island’s water.

“Water quality is everything to us here — it’s our quality of life, our heritage, our economy, tourism economy, our recreation and what we drink,” Bellone told a roomful of residents in Port Jefferson. “We need to retrofit those homes to protect our environment and reverse decades of water quality decline. We will lose another generation here if this is not done right and we’re very focused on making sure we do this right.”

Under the Suffolk County Septic Improvement Program, Bellone and Deputy County Executive Peter Scully told attendees individual homeowners can apply for grants administered by the county’s department of health services, which will approve permits, perform inspections and supervise system installations. Loans, by the nonprofit Community Development Corporation of Long Island, offer homeowners low-cost financing for up to $10,000.

To cover the $17, 850 total cost of installation, eligible homeowners would be given an $11,000 grant — $10,000 for the installation of the individual alternative on-site wastewater treatment systems and $1,000 for a pressurized shallow drain field. Homeowners would pay the balance with a 15-year, fixed 3 percent loan.

North Country Road Middle School student Ivy Newman was one of only 12 students to be selected as a winner of the New York State Office of Information Technology “Kids Safe Online” poster contest. Newman’s submission was selected from more than 2,000 entries submitted by 233 schools from across the state.

“The Miller Place School District has a zero tolerance policy for bullying and takes any threat to student safety extremely seriously,” Superintendent of Schools Marianne Cartisano said. “Creating a culture of trust and security in which students feel they can share any concerns with adults is one of our highest priorities. We are very proud of Miss Newman’s success, and her effort to raise awareness about the importance of cyber security is emblematic of our values and goals.”

The district has previously hosted “How to Help a Friend” panels for students to come together to discuss the importance of mental health in adolescence and share tips on how to support their friends and peers. In addition, this year more than 30 Miller Place High School students participated in an intensive day-long training to learn how to become natural helpers. Natural Helpers is a district initiative that provides students with the tools they need to recognize when a peer may be struggling and offer effective support. Members currently meet once every two weeks to discuss peer issues, the climate throughout the school, how they can best help and where to direct those who are struggling.

“The district provides a confidential, robust system of support for any student struggling with these critical issues,” North Country Road Middle School Principal Mat-

Students in the Miller Avenue and Wading River elementary schools in the Shoreham-Wading River School District enjoyed a visit from celebrated Massachusetts-born author Ralph Fletcher on May 9.

During the visit, Fletcher spoke to students about his career and his 50 published works that range from picture books to adult fiction, poetry and professional texts.

Some of his children’s books include “Fig Pudding,” “Spider Boy,” “Flying Solo” and “The Sandman.”

The author also held a workshop for teachers on writing instruction after school.

The Miller Avenue PTO and Wading River PTA sponsored the event.

thew Clark said. “We encourage all our students to participate in the ‘Kids Safe Online’ poster contest as a way to help raise awareness surrounding this issue.”

The purpose of the annual poster contest is to educate students about cyber security, by encouraging them to creatively depict what cyber security means to them and reinforce safe online practices through their artwork.

The contest also serves as a tool to encourage teachers across the state to address cyber security and online safety issues like cyber bullying, the appropriate use of text messages and social networking in the classroom.

The winners’ art work will be featured in the 2018 New York State Kids Safe Online calendar and the winning entries have been submitted to the National K-12 Poster Contest.

Live-streaming surgery Miller Place High School’s AP biology classes recently observed a live-streamed hand surgery performed by the Pan Am Clinic in Winnipeg, Canada.

Students have been studying anatomy and advanced biological concepts throughout the year, and have experience dissecting small animals, but this is the first time they’d ever seen a surgery on a living human and been

able to ask questions in real time. Students submitted them to the surgeon and operating staff digitally, while a Pan Am staff member answered questions about the right thumb trapeziectomy procedure, and gave students an up-close view of the surgery.

The event is one of many Miller Place events to engage students in the curriculum in unique, innovative ways, helping students develop a lifelong love of learning and science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Challenge accepted Shoreham-Wading River High School has been recognized by The Washington Post in its annual rankings of America’s Most Challenging High Schools, a title that only 12 percent of high schools in the United States hold.

The list of America’s Most Challenging schools, released on May 5 and prepared by education columnist Jay Mathews, includes a total of 2,324 schools. The schools were

ranked based on the number of AP exams they offer and graduation rates. ShorehamWading ranked at No. 1,234 among the schools that were selected, placing the district in the top 6 percent in the country.

“The district prides itself on continually challenging our students and ensuring they are provided with a rigorous education that will lead them to college and careers,” interim Superintendent of Schools Neil Lederer said.

PersPectives

Lyme disease awareness, prevention and treatment There are so many features of our local environment to enjoy on Long Island, between the Pine Barrens, nature trails or the significant number of state parks and beaches scattered throughout our area.

However, as a natural reality of our enjoyment of these treasures, we also have to contend with tick-borne illness, incidents of which skyrocket during the summer months. The most common tick-borne infection in the United States is Lyme disease, which affects tens of thousands of Americans every year. Here in New York, in 2015, we had the third highest rate of Lyme disease contraction. As someone who has personally contractBY Lee ZeLdin ed this disease, I can tell you that it is a very serious matter that requires our attention.

We must do more to advance prevention and recovery efforts for Lyme disease, which can be fatal if left untreated.

May is Lyme disease awareness month, and as members of a community that has an above-average rate of contraction, we must each do our part to educate and minimize incidents of occurrence. Early indicators of Lyme disease include flulike symptoms, such as fever, muscle aches and fatigue, as well as rashes, which oftentimes may look like a bull’s-eye.

The key to prevention is tick check and removal, especially if you are out enjoying the summer in fields or tall grass.

Should you or a member of your family suspect that you may have contracted the disease, it is so important that medical assistance be sought as soon as possible.

I have been honored to be part of the effort to combat Lyme disease as your representative. In the last Congress, I co-sponsored and helped pass the 21st Century Cures Act. This new law accelerates the process for scientific advancement, gives researchers access to necessary resources and helps deliver lifesaving or life-improving cures and treatments to Americans suffering from a disease.

This critical piece of legislation provides $4.8 billion in new funding for the National Institutes of Health, a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which conducts essential medical and public health research on illnesses such as Lyme. I was also a co-sponsor of the TickBorne Disease Research and Accountability and Transparency Act, which passed to further advance research on Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses.

In addition, the recently enacted budget provides a $2 billion increase for National Institutes of Health, including the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which focuses its efforts on diseases like Lyme. This funding will allow researchers to continue their work in finding new cures and treatments for the most prevalent diseases affecting Americans. The budget also increases funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention by $22 million. CDC conducts annual research on the effects of this disease, as well as preventative measures.

Locally, state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) approved a package of bills that strengthen the state’s efforts to combat Lyme and tick-borne diseases. LaValle, a member of the Senate’s Task Force on Lyme and Tick-Borne Diseases, helped secure $400,000 in the state budget for research, education and prevention efforts Long Island is home to one of the most beautiful and unique environments throughout the nation, and with this distinction comes the responsibility of ensuring our residents remain protected. This month, we must stay vigilant and prepare ourselves to deal with the spread of Lyme disease. We must all join together as a community to overcome this challenge.

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and House Financial Services Committee, represents the First Congressional District of New York.

Letters to the editor

The memories coloring can bring back

Thumbs up for green zones We’re optimistic about the future of our local environment, especially when we discover elected officials are doing their part to create a greener Long Island.

Times Beacon Record was impressed to hear that at a May 9 meeting, the Huntington Town board members approved a resolution to explore the benefits of replacing gas-fueled landscaping equipment with battery-operated units at Heckscher Park and Huntington Town Hall. If the changes are implemented, the locations would be considered green zones, which means the areas are maintained with zero-emission lawn care equipment.

With assessments by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer showing that outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans, any decrease in emissions in our air is a step in the right direction.

We also praise the Huntington residents who for months have been vocal about the town going green. Many cited gas-fueled equipment can contribute to hearing loss and asthma, and using the battery-operated equivalents in addition to decreasing emissions would also reduce noise.

The town will seek advice by retaining an American Green Zone Alliance study on Huntington’s existing landscaping practices, and after their findings, AGZA will recommend the appropriate equipment and provide instruction in use, care and maintenance for town employees.

We feel the partnership with a leader in a nationwide effort to help communities address noise and air pollution issues demonstrates the priority the town has given to protecting our environment.

We hope the prospect of green zones in Huntington will inspire other towns to follow suit. Residents also should be motivated by the program to use or request landscapers to use cordless electrical and manual equipment in place of gas-fueled units.

Every bit of change can help improve our environment, and with summer just around the corner, there’s no time like the present to start living greener.

My name is Marie Marchese.

I’m 77 years old, and I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to enter the adult coloring contest.

When I told my husband Frank, who is 79 years old, “I’m going to enter a coloring contest,” he said, “Why not.” He laughed and said, “You always like to color.”

Frank knew me when I was four, and he was six years old.

We lived in the same project in Brooklyn. Frank used to watch me sit on a green bench my father made, and after school, I would color every day. My mother entered me in a Roy Rogers coloring contest, and I won a complete outfit — pants, jacket and cowboy hat.

As I got older, a lot has changed but this contest brought back a beautiful memory. We will be married 59 years. We had a wonderful life and three children (one girl, two boys) and eight grandchildren.

Thank you so very much.

Thoughts on recent town hall My wife and I attended our first town hall meeting April 23.

Our congressional representative Lee Zeldin was to answer questions of the electorate’s concern.

At the Portuguese-American Hall in Farmingville security was tight and all attendees had to show proof of residence (no one outside the first congressional district was allowed).

All questions were submitted ahead of time, and the questions as announced by a moderator were to be answered by Mr. Zeldin. It looked more like a monologue than a Q-and-A production — the questions sounded crafted and maybe

written in advance. No one from the audience was recognized to ask a question directly, and some were chastised for trying.

But there were some areas of concern touched upon. Without going into all of them, I found the audience was interested in hearing about possible Russian hacking and involvement with the past presidential election. To this Mr. Zeldin considered a “small” issue, and that it was time to move on! Many in the audience gasped.

A small issue indeed!

Another topic of interest was whether the U.S. should participate in the Paris Climate Treaty.

His answer was a big surprise:

No, let’s wait to see what other countries will do (and this from the biggest polluter).

Other topics, including his position on President Trump’s honesty, gun control (including assault rifles) and deportation of the undocumented, were lightly and vaguely responded to.

I will give Rep. Zeldin credit for coming face to face with an increasingly concerned and unhappy American public, and I would recommend more participation from the audience in meeting our elected officials in the future.

Edward Kemp Setauket

Being held accountable for health care vote Thank you U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin for voting “yes” for Trumpcare in the House of Representatives. This bill slashes insurance subsidies, makes drastic cuts to Medicaid, guts pre-existing condition protection, defunds Planned Parenthood and makes insurance

less comprehensive.

The bill was passed without holding any hearings or giving the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office time to do an analysis. Thank you for stripping health insurance from at least 24 million Americans. Thank you

because you will be held to your unconscionable vote when Suffolk County voters go to the polls in 2018 and vote against Trumpcare and the Republicans who voted for it. The voters will not forget.

OpiniOn Riding in cars with kids

T

he best way to get to know your kids, especially if they are teenagers, is to drive them and their friends, teammates and classmates. If your daughter texts you from school and asks, “Hey, Mom and/or Dad, can one of you drive three of my friends around?” don’t hesitate.

The answer, of course, can’t be what you might think. You can’t say, “Yes! Of course, that’d be great.”

You’ve got to play it cool, because the moBy Daniel Dunaief ment she catches on to the fact that you actually have ears and are listening to the conversation in the car, you’re done.

Yes, I know the temptation, after a

D. None of the above

long day, is to pick up only the kid that you’re responsible for, the one whose clothing you washed for the 10th time this week and whose teeth are straightening because you brought her to the orthodontist for yet another visit.

However, the rewards from just a tad more effort more than tip the scales in favor of the few extra miles.

The key to making this supersecret spy mission work is not to let them use their phones, to take routes where cell reception is poor or, somehow, to encourage conversation. If they’re all sitting in the back seat, texting other people or showing each other pictures on one of the social networks, then the effort, time and assault on your nose aren’t worth it.

Seriously, anyone who has driven a group of teenagers around after a twohour practice should keep a container of something that smells more tolerable nearby. When it’s too cold to stick my head out the window or when the smell becomes overwhelming, I have become a shallow mouth breather. But,

again, if the conversation goes in the right direction, it’s worth it.

Put four or five or seven, if you can fit them, kids in a car, and you might get some high entertainment. If you’re quiet enough, you might learn a few things about school or your kids.

“So, Sheila is so ridiculous,” Allison recently declared to my daughter. “She only talks about herself and her feelings. Have you ever noticed that? She turns every conversation into a story about herself. I mean, the other day, she was telling me about her brother, and her story about her brother isn’t nearly as interesting as my story.”

At that point, Allison then talked about her brother and herself for the next five minutes.

Tempted as I was to ask about the story Sheila told about her brother, so I could compare the stream of stories about Sheila’s brother to Allison’s, I knew better.

The boys also enter the realm of the car social laboratory experiment after a game or practice.

“Hey, what’d you think about the movie in French?”

Wait, they watched a movie in French? Again, you can’t ask any questions or everyone retreats to their phones or remembers that the car isn’t driving itself. You have to be inconspicuous or you will be relegated to the penalty box of listening to one-word answers from your suddenly sullen sports star.

“You did well in that presentation in English?”

A presentation? English? Quiet!

Quiet! You have to breathe normally and act like you’re giving all of your attention to the road.

Once the car empties and it’s just your son or daughter, you can ask specific questions. You might want to mix up some of the details, just so it doesn’t seem like you were listening carefully.

“So, you had a history resentation?”

“No, Dad, that was in English,” your son will correct. Then he may share details that otherwise would never have made it past a stringent teenage filter.

No respect on public transportation

E

veryone knows about the doctor who was forcibly removed from his place on a United Airlines plane when no one volunteered to give up seats to accommodate a flight crew traveling to another airport. Fortunately for the doctor, another passenger videoed the event, and the video went viral. The public outrage that followed is prompting congressional hearings, new

By Leah S. Dunaief rules within the airline industry and new laws regarding removal by police of an unwilling passenger.

I think it is fair to say that the reaction to the incident is one of total disbelief that such an act could happen here in the United States. The callousness and utter disregard for the safety of the man, incidentally a

Between you and me

paying customer, are astonishing.

Yet here is another story, closer to home and less violent, of insensitivity to customers. I was riding the Long Island Rail Road home from Penn Station on a weekday afternoon, expecting the usual change at Huntington for Port Jefferson, when an announcement over the public address system advised us that the connecting train was arriving across the tracks on the south side of the station. We were told to use the stairs to cross over if we wanted to continue east.

It seemed a bit of an inconvenience until we walked down the platform to the stairway and found the entrance blocked. Turning around to find the next closest stairway over the tracks, I saw that some of the passengers behind me were using walkers or canes. As they saw the locked gate to the stairs, they became frantic. The next crossover was a half block down the platform.

Did you ever witness people with walkers and canes trying to run?

The sight is pathetic. And the rest of us didn’t look too graceful, huffing and puffing our way to try and catch

the waiting train.

The stairs were steep to the top of the overpass, and the passages on the south side leading back down to the platform and to the parking lot were confusing. We ran by an elevator, and some of us pressed the button, but it took what seemed like forever to arrive.

Once inside, we were confronted with different buttons that were labeled, each with an ambiguous letter. We pushed the wrong button and wound up on the ground floor.

Breathless at this point, we rushed back up the stairs to the platform just in time to see the train pulling away. Those with the walkers and canes, as well as those of us too slow to navigate in time, perhaps a dozen in total, were left to wait the hour and a half until the next train.

The moans were loud.

There is, of course, pressure on the engineers and conductors to keep to a schedule. A regular report grades the on-time performance of the LIRR, and there is much disgruntlement when the trains are habitually late. So there was reason for the train to pull away before all the passengers had crossed

the tracks. But where was the caring?

Some of the passengers were lame.

Some were old. Some were just out of shape for a sudden dash up, around and down the granite stairways. It would have taken perhaps another two minutes for the rest of the group to reach the train.

Where was the respect for the paying customer?

Perhaps this sort of disregard is inevitable in a monopolistic situation. There is no other train line to use. There aren’t that many different airlines left in our country after the assorted mergers. Or is it something else, something having to do with our society as a whole? Yes, in many ways we have become more tolerant over the past century, more accepting of differences. We have also become more relaxed, less formal in our dealings with each other — and not in a negative way. But there are some aspects of previous generations that are sadly scarce. I could name a few: politeness, honor, civility, patience, respect. We rush around a lot, but I’m not sure we always get where we want to be. And if we don’t rush, we get left behind.
