Poquott prepares to unveil new community dock, approves budget

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Residents in the Village of Poquott will be able to enjoy a new community dock this summer.

After years of debating and hammering out the details, the village’s dock will be completed in the next few weeks, according to Mayor Dee Parrish.

“It feels great, and everybody is talking about it on Facebook and the Instagram page for the village and people are taking pictures,” Parrish said. “It’s that time of year where spring is in the air and people are excited, and I think a lot of residents are going to get use out of it this summer.”

The dock, located in California Park at the end of Washington Street, had been discussed

by residents for nearly a decade, and while several protested the idea, the village board began seriously looking at building one a few years ago.

The village took out a bond equaling $255,000 to help finance the dock construction.

Officials said the village will begin paying off the bond in the end of this year, and the board approved taking the interest payment from the fund balance this year.

Trustee Jeff Koppelson, who supported the idea of a dock for residents, said lately when he walks down to the beach, he sees people checking out its progress. He said he believes many residents will enjoy it, from fishermen to those who are just taking a leisurely walk.

“I find it very gratifying, and I think for years to come it will be kind of a focal point of the village down there,” Koppelson said.

Budget

As the board began to look over its budget for 2019-20, it was first believed that the dock would create an extra $4 more per hundred in the budget, according to Parrish. However, once the numbers were crunched, the trustees announced at the April 11 village meeting that the budget increase for all village services is $3 more per hundred. The new budget of $552,969.17 is a 3% increase over last year and pierces the 2% tax cap.

At the March village board meeting, Parrish, Koppelson and trustee Chris Schleider voted to authorize the board of trustees to exceed the 2% taxing increase limit, and at the April meeting, approved the 2019-20 budget.

The budget includes $63,125 of dock

expenses such as engineering fees, legal fees and construction costs.

Stormwater retention pond

The village was recently notified by the New York State Department of Transportation that it would attend to issues regarding a stormwater retention pond on Route 25A, right between Van Brunt Manor Road and Washington Street. Village officials brought the issue to the attention of the NYSDOT, which will be fencing in the pond.

Richard Parrish, Poquott’s stormwater management officer, sent multiple letters to

the NYSDOT last year alerting the department of villagers’ complaints that the unfenced structure constructed of earthen walls and an earthen base could potentially collapse and cause a person or animal to fall in or become trapped. After a heavy rainfall, the structure can fill with up to four feet of water.

The mayor said she was relieved that the NYSDOT was going to remedy the situation.

“It won’t be such an eyesore, and also, I think a lot of residents worried that kids might play in it or someone may drown in it, so with a fence around it, it will eliminate that problem,” Parrish said.

A bit of good can come out of a little shopping.

On April 5, a new thrift store opened at 152 Main St. in the former Setauket United Methodist Church chapel building. Called II Acts, the store is managed by congregants Nancy Fogg and Diane Clausen.

The Rev. Steven Kim said since the former tenant, the Church of the Nazarene, left last September, congregants had discussed possible uses for the chapel building, which initially was the first Jewish synagogue built on Long Island decades ago. Fogg put together a proposal and brought it to the church board of trustees.

“The idea of turning it into a thrift shop had prevailed at the end of the day,” Kim said.

“I believe it is what God has meant with it.”

With net proceeds going to the church’s Missions and Outreach program, Kim said he envisions the shop becoming a community mission center in the future.

Up until a few years ago, Fogg ran a consignment shop in the church called Rethreads Boutique, and she said she always wanted to open up a thrift shop but finding

appropriate retail space in the area was difficult.

The thrift store sells jewelry, purses, small furniture, clothing, books, kitchenware, porcelain, knickknacks, children’s toys and more. The thrift store manager said church members donated many of the items and a lot of pieces also have come from her own and Clausen’s collections.

As chair of the church’s Missions and Outreach, Fogg said the committee helps various organizations, including local nonprofits such as Three Village Meals on Wheels and Our Daily Bread Soup Kitchen at St. James R.C. Church in Setauket.

She said the store is there to serve the community, and the first few weeks in business have been successful.

“People are very excited to have a new thrift store in the area,” Fogg said. “They love dropping off stuff, and we love taking it.”

II Acts thrift store is located at 152 Main St., East Setauket, directly across from Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket)’s office. Business hours are Fridays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and additional days will be added in the future. Donations may be dropped off during business hours or by arrangement.

Search begins to unearth history at Setauket Village Green

BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Archaeologists and historians are scheduled to explore the Setauket Village Green to see what they can unearth about Long Island’s Revolutionary War history.

The Lamar Institute has begun a monthlong field research project titled The Struggle for Long Island: Expanding Revolutionary War Studies in New York funded by a $60,000 American Battlefield Protection Program grant from the National Park Service and $5,200 in contributions from Lamar. The Georgia-based nonprofit, which conducts archaeological research to advance public awareness, has organized historians, archaeologists, residents and City University of New York students to explore three military sites occupied by Loyalists on the North Shore during the Revolutionary War — the Setauket Village Green, Fort Slongo (now known as Fort Salonga) and Fort Franklin in Lloyd’s Neck.

Barbara Russell, Town of Brookhaven historian and a Caroline Church of Brookhaven vestry member, said the project was presented to the church’s vestry last year for permission to access the site.

“This is all quite exciting to have respected and qualified researchers from the Lamar Institute in and around our Village Green,” she said. “Historians always welcome further study, and I hope the community will come by and watch the process take place.”

Field research began April 15 in Fort Salonga and will continue April 22 for a week

at the Village Green. This will be followed by more studies in Lloyd’s Neck during the week of April 29. While the team has been given permission to research Fort Slongo, which is on private property, property owners have not given permission to study Fort Franklin, which is also on privately owned land. Instead the team will only be able to do work on property that was once the battlefield.

The project will focus on the North Shore areas where the Patriot attacks on the three forts led to their victory at Fort Salonga. Daniel Elliot, president of the Lamar Institute, said

the research would include ground penetrating radar survey, systematic controlled metal detection survey, small excavations of key targets, total station laser transit mapping,

drone-assisted aerial videography and laboratory analysis. The findings will enable the identification of battlefields and provide data regarding military strategies.

The itinerary for Setauket includes searches of the Patriots Rock tract across from Frank Melville Memorial Park, Setauket Presbyterian Church property and the Village Green and the green and front parking area of Caroline Church of Brookhaven.

Elliot said even though similar studies have been conducted in Georgia and South Carolina, this is the first one in New York and north of the Mason-Dixon Line. While not all the forts have a visible footprint like Fort Slongo, written accounts from those who fought and a map from the Culper spies will help guide them to their exact locations.

“We’re trying to bring them back to life a little bit and increase public awareness of what’s out here,” Elliot said.

The Battle of Fort Slongo, led by Benjamin Tallmadge, he said was a victory for the Patriots where an injured Elijah Churchill became the recipient of the first Badge of Military Merit, which became the VILLAGE GREEN CONTINUED ON A8

Lawrence Aviation CEO ordered to pay millions by federal court Superfund cleanup operation goes into its 19th year

The former CEO of Lawrence Aviation in Port Jefferson, Gerald Cohen, has been ordered to pay $48 million in cleanup costs for the toxic underground plume caused by materials leached into the ground from the now-defunct airplane parts manufacturer.

The U.S. Attorney’s office announced the charges April 15 after a district court judge e Story of Nathan Hale, in ThCentral Islip ruled Lawrence Aviation Benjamin Tallmadge Industries, Inc, a former & the Origin of The Culper Spies defense contractor that was based on Sheep Pasture Road, and its longtime owner and CEO, Gerald Cohen, were liable for environmental cleanup costs.

“This case and the significant monetary penalties imposed by the court should serve as a warning to would-be polluters, including individuals, that this office and the [U.S. Environmental Protection Agency] will use every tool at their disposal to protect Long Island’s groundwater and to ensure that those responsible for contamination will foot the bill for cleanup costs,” said Richard Donoghue, the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The U.S. Attorney’s office detailed Cohen’s wrongdoing based on the court’s 37-page memorandum. In the early 1980s, after the Suffolk County Department of Health issued a series of recommendations for LAI to come into compliance with various pollution control laws, LAI used a front-end loader to crush 55-gallon drums containing hazardous substances, among more than 1,600 of such drums identified on the property, resulting in a massive discharge of waste directly onto the ground. Samples taken from those drums revealed impermissibly high levels of trichloroethylene, among other pollutants.

Nearly two decades later, in 1999, testing performed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation revealed contamination of groundwater and surface

water at the site.

In a statement to the U.S. Attorney’s office, the regional EPA administrator said he was pleased with the court’s decision.

“This judgment provides for the reimbursement of money spent on cleanup work and imposes penalties that act as a deterrent,” said EPA regional administrator Pete Lopez. “Our active engagement and work at this site will continue over the long term.”

Various creditors have asserted claims against LAI and Cohen properties based on their respective liens. Those claims remain pending before the court. The 126-acre property was named a Superfund site in 2000 and was expected to take 20 years to complete the cleanup.

The EPA’s cleanup of the site, now into its 19th year, has included a remedial investigation into the nature and scope of the contamination, various hazardous waste removal and stabilization activities, and the implementation and maintenance of two groundwater treatment systems designed to capture and treat contaminated groundwater, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. The EPA’s activities at the LAI site have resulted in a decrease in the size of the groundwater TCE plume and the removal of more than 18,000 tons of soil contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls, among other hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials.

In 2008, Cohen and LAI pleaded guilty to violating the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, for storing hazardous wastes at the LAI facility without a permit issued by the EPA or New York State. Cohen was sentenced to a term of imprisonment of one year and a day, and supervised release of 36 months. He and LAI were ordered to pay restitution to the EPA of $105,816.

3V Approves $215 million budget for 2019-20

BY ANDREA PALDY DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

The Three Village school board has approved a $215 million budget for the 201920 school year.

The action, taken April 10, shows an increase of 2.51 percent from 2018-19, but Jeff Carlson, assistant superintendent of business services, said the upcoming school year’s budget stays within the 2.53 percent cap on the tax levy increase. Contractual salary increases, utilities and a 2 percent hike in insurance costs account for the increase, Carlson said, speaking at the district’s most recent school board meeting.

He added that because of the cap, there is not much room to add a lot of new programs, but there are a few new initiatives of note for the upcoming year.

One initiative is the addition of a musical theater class at Ward Melville High School. A sixth-grade guidance counselor will be another addition next year. The district’s five elementary schools will share the new guidance counselor.

The most significant change next year is the addition of a tuition-based, half-day enrichment program to complement the district’s free prekindergarten. Beginning next year, the district will offer its preschool curriculum, which is currently offered only at Nassakeag Elementary School, at each of its five elementary schools.

Students who attend a morning or afternoon prekindergarten session will also be able to enroll in the enrichment program to extend the day. Students will receive enrichment in STEM, music, art and movement.

The preschool, which has a cap of 200 students, already has 196 students enrolled for next year, Carlson said. There are more than

100 students signed up for the enrichment program, which costs $500 a month. The current enrollment means that the district will see more than $500,000 in revenue and that the enrichment program “more than pays for itself,” Carlson said. In addition to covering the cost of staffing the program, the tuition will also pay for the installation of age-appropriate

playgrounds at each of the elementary schools, officials have said.

Carlson said that even with the additions, the district will stay within the tax cap without having to cut programs or services. Proposed staffing changes are a result of enrollment and course requests, he said. There is a potential reduction of two full-time equivalents at the elementary level and a reduction of two to three FTEs at the secondary level.

Funding from the state — not including aid for capital projects — increased by about $287,000, he said. That is about $175,000 more than projected in the governor’s January budget proposal and represents a 0.8 percent increase over last year’s aid package. Carlson said the percentage was consistent with the average rate of increases over the past 11 years.

The budget vote will take place Tuesday, May 21, at Ward Melville High School, R.C. Murphy Junior High and P.J. Gelinas Junior High. Voting was moved from the elementary schools two years ago because it is easier to secure voting areas to ensure student safety at the secondary schools, Carlson said.

Residents zoned for Arrowhead, Minnesauke and Nassakeag elementary schools will vote at the high school. Those who are zoned for W.S. Mount Elementary School will vote at Murphy Junior High, and Setauket Elementary residents will vote at Gelinas Junior High.

Obituary

Death notice for former Setauket resident Oakes Ames brings back memories

BY BARBARA WECKER DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM My husband and I moved to Setauket in 1964. Every day was a gift. The air smelled clean and fresh. The 20-acre alfalfa farm behind our house was alive with pheasant, quail, meadowlarks, red-winged blackbirds, hawks and many more species. Learning about the wildlife and walking daily on the surrounding beaches became of interest. Three children were born, and we were delighted to introduce them to our learning and safe environments.

This was a special community.

I was saddened to see the obituary of Oakes Ames in the Feb. 17 edition of The New York Times. He was a Harvard graduate and received his Ph.D. in experimental nuclear physics from Johns Hopkins University in 1957. He was chairman of the physics department at Stony Brook University and a resident of Setauket.

He served as president of Connecticut College from 1974-1988 and, during that time, dedicated

himself to environmental work and research in energy conservation. He was the father of four children and the husband of Louise Kimball Ames.

I met Louise Ames at a meeting I attended.

I also met many wonderful people, including her husband, Oakes. This group was intent on establishing a learning center to have children and adults have hands-on experiences in learning about the environment. I was so impressed with their vigor, their purpose and their enthusiasm. Most of us were mothers with young children. We shared experiences and learned from each other. We had summer programs that taught children about the beach, geology, field succession, birds, bees and botany. Tree identification was heightened by the five senses with tastes, smells, visual recognition, touch and sound. Most of us were volunteers, but because of the richness of professionals in our community, many joined the effort.

A barn was rented on Old Town Road to hold

meetings, have picnics and interact. My oldest daughter will never forget how we dressed her in a sheet painted with the colors and design of a rose-breasted grosbeak, while others guessed her identity. Learning was fun, and families became involved. We did teach and learn, canoe, hike, discover, explore and enjoy.

Louise Ames was an inspirational leader who shared a vision with others who dove in with enthusiasm. The Environment Center of Setauket was organized in the early 1970s.

It later joined with Sweetbriar in Smithtown to become the Environmental Centers of Setauket-Smithtown on Eckernkamp Drive in Smithtown. It is a wonderful place to take a walk and discover and to visit the butterfly house in the summer.

Past experiences are treasures to remember.

I am grateful for the efforts the Ames family invested into bringing awareness to our community’s resources while making learning fun. May Oakes Ames rest in peace. He and his wife made our special community a better place.

Nonagenarian shares lessons learned from his work with clocks

BY SUSAN RISOLI DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

You don’t reach the age of 90 without learning a thing or two about living. For Setauket resident Marshall Irving, life is a bit like his favorite pastime of fixing antique clocks: value teamwork, be willing to listen and don’t forget to apply critical thinking when difficulties arise.

“Figure out what is going on and what you can do about it to make it better,” Irving said recently in an interview at his home. “And

whether it’s a mechanical issue or something to do with people, bring an open mind about the problem you’re working on.”

Irving is an antiquarian horologist — someone who restores and maintains antique timekeeping devices. The Ward Melville Heritage Organization relies on his skills to keep its tower clock and landmark eagle in good running order. WMHO president, Gloria Rocchio, called Irving “one of the Three Village area treasures, just like the eagle.”

Irving has always been fascinated by the carved wooden eagle, which since 1941 has flapped its 10-foot wingspan from a vantage point atop the Stony Brook post office.

“The Stony Brook eagle is the only one we know of in the world,” Irving said.

He started working on the clock and the eagle 20 years ago.

“When I first got involved, the eagle was in such bad shape, it was shaking the building,” he recalled. “I put in a chain drive and a new gearbox to drive its wings.”

Back then he would climb up four flights of stairs to get to the big bird. “Then I made it, so we could work it out of a closet in the office by pushing buttons, rather than physically going up there,” he said.

Irving was trained as a steamboat engineer at the Kings Point Merchant Marine Academy.

He and his wife, Arline, moved to the Three Villages when he went to work at the Dayton T. Brown company. He also served as a naval intelligence officer, which he said “was kind

of fun.” The Irvings have four children, six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren with a third great-grandchild on the way.

The Irvings’ home is filled with clocks, each playing a soft chorus of chimes that sound at different times with different notes.

Hanging on the wall is “the first clock I got serious about fixing,” an 1860s Seth Thomas clock that was in Irving’s grandfather’s office at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

The Mather House Museum in Port Jefferson has an antique clock collection that Irving restores and maintains. He runs a “clock school” there, where he teaches people how to restore antique clock mechanisms and finishes, and how to make the clocks look their best for public display. Irving said he teaches

his students that patience and teamwork are essential to diagnosing and treating the problems of these delicate clocks.

“We have people come into our clock school and run out screaming because it doesn’t fit their mindset,” he said. “They don’t realize it takes years to learn these things.”

He added, “I’ve been doing this for 50 years, and there are still things I’m learning, every day.”

Irving said he will continue being an antiquarian horologist for his own pleasure and to spread the word about the beauty of aging clocks.

“I enjoy talking to people about it, because the ability to do this is starting to die out,” he said. “A sad thing for me is that we don’t teach children how to tell time anymore from an analog dial on a clock.”

VILLAGE GREEN

relics aren’t found too deep in the ground, with most being around 4 to 6 inches deep.

As for the Setauket battleground, Griffin said no one knows for sure where the fort walls were, and with ground radar, they may be able to determine its exact location.

Griffin said he is looking forward to learning more about the sites and the forts, and he pointed out that the Loyalists who built them were Americans.

“It’s really an American story,” he said.

“Even though we think it was the British that were here, it’s really the Loyalist Americans who built these and tended to them, and the Patriots, who were also Americans, were the people who were attacking the posts, so it really is a very local story of Americans.”

The project will be discussed at a future Three Village Community Trust Join the Conversation presentation with Elliott, Griffin and Sheldon Skaggs, assistant professor at City University of New York. Resulting interpretation also will be documented in a report available to the public on the Lamar Institute’s website, www. thelamarinstitute.org by September 2020.

“It’s one of the few success stories on the Island for the Americans during the war,” Elliot said.

David Griffin, a local historian, has been collaborating on the project. An architect by trade, he’s the author of the book “Lost British Forts of Long Island.” He said there are plenty of lost stories and various interpretations of what happened on the Island when it comes to the Revolutionary War. The historian said with the use of underground radar and metal detectors, field researchers will be able to find artifacts such as iron musket balls and jacket buttons that will tell a lot more about who was shooting at whom and in what direction. The research will also help to see how many people were engaged, and the size of a musket ball can determine to which side it belonged.

He said many times in cases like these,

SBU’s Del Poeta battles drug-resistant fungus

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Maurizio Del Poeta, a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, works to combat potentially deadly fungal infections.

Recently, several press reports have highlighted the prevalence in New York and New Jersey of Candida auris, which is resistant to drugs and can cause death. Through an email exchange, Del Poeta shared his perspective on this fungal infection and his efforts to develop a treatment.

Are there multiple drug-resistant strains of numerous types of Candida?

Yes, there are several species of Candida that are resistant to some antifungals. For instance, Candida lusitaniae is normally resistant to amphotericin B. Candida glabrata is normally resistant to fluconazole. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans. Most are sensitive to antifungals. C. auris is normally resistant to all antifungals.

They are resistant for mainly two reasons: (1) the target/enzyme is genetically different and, thus, the drug does not recognize the target; thus it does not bind to the target; and thus it does not inhibit it; (2) the drug is pumped out by membrane transporters. C. auris is notorious for having multiple membrane transporters.

I understand the damage from Candida is primarily among people who are immunocompromised. Is there a risk for those people who are also healthy?

Healthy people should be fine. But who is really “healthy?” Because C. auris is spreading in hospitals and nursing homes, all patients in hospitals and nursing homes are at risk: some more (e.g., cancer patients, patients with an organ transplant, patients in ICU, patients taking corticosteroids) and some patients have less risk because they are more immunocompetent, but certainly those patients could get contaminated.

What makes it so hard to eliminate Candida?

Because (1) we are not used to and (2) because we still do not know which type of disinfectant is efficacious against C. auris …

Unlike other Candida infections, which are generally thought to result from autoinfection from host flora, C. auris can be transmitted between patients … C. auris requires implementation of specific infection control measures, such as those used for control of [other infections] (e.g., private room and on contact precautions). Because C. auris can

Maurizio Del Poeta works in his lab. Photo from Stony Brook University

survive in plastic surfaces, floors, and door knobs for weeks, it is essential that infection control measurements be implemented in the health care settings.

Does the work you’re doing offer hope, albeit in the earlier stages, for ways to treat and reduce the virulence of Candida?

Yes, our new compounds are sensitive to C. auris in vitro against the C. auris clinical isolates that are resistant to current antifungals.

We are currently testing their efficacy in vivo (animals). We are doing this in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health and the Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas.

Our compounds have different mechanism of action from the current antifungals, Given that the symptoms of a Candida infection — fever, weakness and aches — are so prevalent in other types of infections, are there ways to make a clinically differentiated diagnosis of Candida without taking a blood sample or conducting extensive analysis?

Unfortunately, there are not. Diagnosis of C. auris can only be made using sophisticated tests. Normal phenotypic tests are not able to identify C. auris for certain. If we want to stop (or at least control) the epidemic, anyone with a Candida infection in a hospital setting should be treated as C. auris. Hospital trafficking of

nurses, doctors, visitors from and to patients with C. auris should be highly restricted.

Nurses and doctors should not be allowed in cafeteria without changing gowns, particularly if they are taking care of a patient infected with C. auris and other common sense practices should be implemented; but, unfortunately, they are normally out of the window in the hospital settings … In the case of C. auris “isolating rooms” and “contact precautions” should be implemented.

How does your treatment for Candida work?

The class of compounds are “acylhydrazones.” They target the synthesis of fungal sphingolipids.

Given what you know about the prevalence of Candida, particularly in New York, and the minimal information about the specific locations where hospitals have found Candida, what would you advise anyone who might be “at risk” for Candida to do if they had elective surgery scheduled?

Elderly and immunocompromised people going to the hospital should be treated with “contact precautions.” No need for isolation unless positive for C. auris.

Is C. auris the most virulent or problematic species of Candida confronting

public health professionals today?

Not really. C. glabrata is also a nasty Candida strain. What makes C. auris difficult is the resistance to drugs.

Do other species suffer through Candida infections as well?

Although humans are the most known carriers and hosts for Candida infection, other animals can also get infected such as dogs, horses and cattle. Certain Candida species are used in food production. Candida utilis extracts are used in Asia as a “salt” instead of salt because these extracts are salty and do not cause hypertension.

We actually have a collaboration with the Japanese company that makes these extracts.

Candida krusei is used to ferment cacao during chocolate production. Whereas C. utilis is not a human pathogen, C. krusei actually is.

How do you protect yourself, your office and your staff from the spread of the infection?

We use biosafety label 2. My lab is certified to handle BSL2 organisms, such as C. auris.

We use all sorts of protective gears and standard protective procedures to make sure lab personnel are protected and to make sure we keep the microbes inside the lab. Entrance to my lab is strictly prohibited to anyone that did not receive appropriate training.

Governor delivers Long Island budget to local crowd Cuomo lauds LIRR reform, hints at renewable energy initiatives

BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) unveiled April 11 his Long Island agenda to a crowd of some 400 politicians, business leaders, local residents and students at Stony Brook University’s Student Activities Center. It was one of two stops statewide, where the governor personally highlighted regional spending for a local community.

Overall, the $175 billion fiscal year 2020 budget holds spending at 2 percent.

“This year’s budget builds on our progress and our momentum on Long Island, and it includes $18 billion for Long Island — the largest amount of money the state has ever brought back to the region, and we’re proud of it,” Cuomo said.

Nearly half of the revenue that Long Island receives goes toward school aid and Medicaid, $3.3 billion and $6.9 billion collectively, according to Freeman Klopott in New York State’s Division of the Budget. But the spending plan funds several bold initiatives, such as an overhaul of the MTA and Long Island Rail Road and the phase in of free public college tuition for qualified students.

Long Island Association president and CEO Kevin Law, who had introduced the governor, suggests looking at the enacted budget as five distinct categories: taxes, infrastructure, economic development, environmental protection and quality of life issues, such as gun safety reform.

On the tax front, Long Islanders, according to the governor’s report, pay some of the highest property tax bills in the United States. Over the last 20 years, Cuomo said, local property taxes rose twice as fast as the average income.

“You can’t continue to raise taxes at an amount that is more than people are earning,” he said. His goal is to stabilize the tax base.

On the federal level, the governor will continue to fight with other states the federal tax code, which last year limited taxpayers’ ability to deduct state and local taxes over $10,000 from their federal income tax returns. Long Island reportedly lost $2.2 billion.

Otherwise, the governor considers his plan to be the most ambitious, aggressive and comprehensive agenda for Long Island ever.

The budget’s regional development goals emphasize a commitment to Long Island’s research triangle: Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Northwell Health, Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Laboratory. The governor envisions the Island as New York’s potential economic equivalent

to California’s Silicon Valley. The objective is to bridge academic research with commercial opportunities.

Some of the largest investments include $75 million for a medical engineering center at Stony Brook University, $25 million to Demerec Laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor, $12 million for a new college of veterinary medicine at Long Island University Post, $5 million in additional research investments at Stony Brook University and $200,000 cybersecurity center at Hofstra University.

“Governor Cuomo’s presentation was uplifting,” said state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket). “It was also a preview of the future of Long Island as an indelibly important part of the state the governor and Legislature appreciate and are continuing to invest into.”

Offshore wind initiatives will be announced in the spring, with a goal of providing 9,000 megawatts of wind power by 2035. As part of Cuomo’s New Green Deal, the state target is 100 percent clean energy by 2040.

Highlights of Gov. Cuomo’s 2019-20 budget for Long Islanders

Taxes: Permanently limits local tax spending to 2 percent annually. The 2 percent property tax cap, first implemented in 2012, has reportedly saved Long Island taxpayers $8.7 billion. Now that the property tax cap has become permanent, the governor reports that the average Suffolk taxpayer will save an estimated $58,000 over the next 10 years. The budget also supports the phase in of middle-class tax cuts. By 2025, under the reforms, middle-class filers will save up to 20 percent income tax rate and impact 6 million filers.

Internet taxation: Requires internet purchases to charge sales tax to fairly compete with brick-and-mortar retail establishments. This reform is expected to raise sales tax revenue by $33 million for Suffolk County in 2019.

LIRR reforms: Dedicates $2.5 billion to the Long Island Rail Road. $734 million will be used to purchase 202 new trains, $47 million will fund the Ronkonkoma train storage expansion project, which adds 11 tracks to the railyard. Another $264 million is allocated to reconfiguring and rebuilding the Jamaica station. An additional 17 stations will also be upgraded. A third track will be added between Hicksville and Floral Park to address bottlenecking. Many projects are already underway and expected to be completed by 2022.

The new LIRR Moynihan Train Hall will

become an alternative to Penn Station in New York City. It will be located in the old post office building. Construction is underway with completion targeted for the end of 2020.

The cost is $2.5 billion with $600,000 million allocated for 2020. A new LIRR entrance at mid-block between 33rd Street and 7th Avenue will also be built at a price tag of $425 million.

School aid: Increases school aid to $3.3 billion, a nearly 4 percent uplift. The 2020 budget includes a $48 million increase of foundation aid.

College tuition: Funds tuition-free education in public colleges to qualified students, whose families earn less than $125,000 annually.

The program annually benefits more than 26,100 full-time undergraduate residents on Long Island.

The DREAM Act: Offers $27 million to fund higher education scholarships for undocumented children already living in New York state.

Higher education infrastructure: Spends $34.3 million for maintenance and upgrades at SUNY higher education facilities on Long Island.

Downtown revitalization: Awards Ronkonkoma Hub with $55 million for a downtown revitalization project. Nassau County will receive $40 million to transform a 70-acre parking lot surrounding Nassau

Coliseum into a residential/commercial downtown area with parkland, shopping and entertainment, where people can live and work. Hicksville, Westbury and Central Islip will also receive $10 million each to revitalize its downtowns.

Roads and bridges: Among the initiatives, $33.6 million will be used toward the Robert Moses Causeway bridge. Safety will be enhanced with guardrails along Sunken Meadow Parkway for $4.7 million. The Van Wyck Expressway is also under expansion for improved access to JFK air terminals.

Health care: Adds key provisions of the Affordable Care Act to state law, so health insurance is protected if Washington repeals the law.

Plastic bag ban: Prohibits most single-use plastic bags provided by supermarkets and other retailers beginning in March 2020. Counties and cities can opt to charge 5 cents for paper bags. It is projected that 40 percent of revenue generated will fund local programs that purchase reusable bags for low- and fixed-income consumers.

The other 60 percent will fund the state’s environmental protection projects.

Food waste recycling program: $1.5 million will be allocated to establish a clean GOV. BUDGET CONTINUED ON A11

Clean water initiatives: Awards Smithtown and Kings Park $40 million for installing sewer infrastructure. A shellfish hatchery at Flax Pond in Setauket will get an additional $4 million. The new budget offers $2 million to the Long Island Pine Barrens Commission and $5 million in grants to improve Suffolk County water supply. The Long Island South Shore Estuary will get $900,000, while Cornell Cooperative Extension will receive $500,000.

The state will also fund another $100 million to clean up superfund sites such as the Grumman Plume in Bethpage. The state has banned offshore drilling to protect natural resources.

Criminal justice reform: Ends cash bail for nonviolent felonies and misdemeanors.

first “red flag” laws. Passed in February 2019, the law enables the courts to seize firearms from people who show signs of violent behavior or pose a threat to themselves or others. The new

law, which takes effect later this year, also authorizes teachers and school professionals to request through the courts mental health evaluations for people who exhibit disturbed

behavior related to gun violence. Bans bump stocks. Extends background check waiting period for gun purchases.

Anti-gang projects: Invests more than $45 million to stop MS-13 gang recruitment and improve youth opportunities.

Opioid crisis: Allocates $25 million to fund 12 residential, 48 outpatient and five opioid treatment programs. The state also aims to remove insurance barriers for treatment.

Tourism: Promotes state agricultural products with $515,000 allocated to operate Taste NY Market at the Long Island Welcome Center with satellite locations at Penn Station and East Meadow Farm in Nassau County.

The PGA Championship next month and Long Island Fair in September, both at Bethpage, will also feature New York agricultural products.

Agriculture: Continues support for the New York State Grown & Certified program to strengthen consumer confidence and assist farmers. Since 2016, the program has certified more than 2,386 farms.

Voting: Sets aside $10 million to help counties pay for early voting. Employers must offer workers three hours of paid time off to vote on election day.

Local businesses react to new county plastics ban

Several businesses have already converted to renewable products

BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Come January next year, Suffolk residents will likely be slurping down their iced coffees using paper straws, instead of the usual plastic.

As Suffolk lawmakers passed bills aimed at reducing plastic and polystyrene waste in the county April 9, food business owners will need to begin the process of adjusting to the new restrictions on plastic straws and polystyrene, more commonly known as Styrofoam, food service products.

As per the new bill, food establishments would be required to provide straws and stirrers by request only, and they would have to be biodegradable — not plastic. For customers with a disability or medical condition, plastic straws will be made available by request.

“The scale of the worldwide single-use plastics problem has become an ever-increasing threat to our environment and everything that relies on it, including human health,” said Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “The plastics crisis is more urgent than people realize.”

Some businesses in Suffolk County have already made the switch over to biodegradable options. Local’s Cafe in Port Jeff doesn’t use plastic straws and stirrers, and only uses paper goods, while Soul Brew in St. James said they switched over to paper goods at the end of last summer.

Constantinos Drepaniotis, co-owner of the Setauket Village Diner, said he and others have advocated for the environment and said the bans are quite a big step in right direction.

Drepaniotis’ diner hasn’t used Styrofoam food

service products for close to two years and has begun reaching out to vendors for plastic straw alternatives. He has considered distributing reusable straws to his customers as well.

While the price of these alternatives has concerned business owners, the restaurant owner said it is business’ responsibility to be proactive and help in this environmental cause.

The owner said he will not let the cost affect the business and it will adapt.

The Styrofoam bill would bar businesses from using items such as cups, trays and containers that are made from polystyrene, as well as ban retail stores from selling those products. It will require businesses in the county to use biodegradable products, though the bill would exempt items used to store uncooked eggs, raw meat, seafood and poultry. Changes would take effect Jan. 1, 2020.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services classified styrene as a potential human carcinogen and, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, polystyrene manufacturing process is the fifth largest creator of hazardous waste in the United States. “[Styrene has] recently been upgraded from a possible carcinogen to a probable carcinogen — a cancer causing chemical,” Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) said at a Feb. 13 press conference advocating for the bills.

“Long Island has some of the highest cancer rates in the country.”

An employee from Tiger Lily Café in Port Jefferson said she dislikes plastic straws and hopes the new ban will potentially get people to bring their own reusable straws, mentioning

that it is very expensive right now to purchase biodegradable alternatives, like paper straws.

While acknowledging the ban would be good for the environment, she said the cost is something a lot of entrepreneurs will have to deal with. The employee also hopes as the demands for these paper goods increase eventually the prices will go down and manufacturers will make it more cost effective.

Other businesses have been using alternatives to polystyrene containers. Setauket Pita House said it doesn’t use Styrofoam food containers and

currently uses aluminum foil containers.

Officials also passed a third bill that would prohibit the sale of single-use plastic cups, utensils and beverage straws from county beaches and parks.

Last month, the Legislature approved a companion bill that would replace existing water fountains with new ones designed to allow bottle filling at county facilities and countyowned parks that have water dispensers.

The bills will now go to the county executive’s office to be signed into law.

Reform school taxes

Dear friends and followers of the Elaine DiMasi 2018 Congressional campaign in New York: With excitement and also sadness, I would like to let you know that I am leaving our Long Island community for a new job in California.

Specifically, I will be joining the leadership team for a $358M upgrade project at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. After more than 20 years as a scientist and project leader in the national laboratory system, I am delighted to be joining terrific people and ready to return to the work I know best.

Yet, this means saying farewell to so many of the wonderful connections I’ve made in our community here and to the chance of public service in elected office.

My political mission in the future will be to help other scientists do an even

Editorial

Suffolk County homeowners pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation, with a typical bill estimated at $8,926. In New York City, the average property tax bill is $4,822 and across the United States it’s $3,018. Those are New York State’s numbers. It’s clear to everyone that the property tax burden has become unbearable on Long Island. It’s driving people away, impacting family budgets, and for homes that bear above average taxes, home values are plummeting.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) said during an April 11 budget presentation at Stony Brook University that he recognizes the problem. He’s made it law that schools and communities in the state must limit budget increases to 2 percent. It will help … to a degree.

He and other states have joined hands to lobby the president and congressional leaders to reinstate the state and local tax reduction write-off for federal income taxes. A bipartisan bill was introduced this week by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) to reinstate the deduction. If it passes, that will also help … to a degree.

But these measures are merely band-aid solutions to a larger, chronic problem: income inequality. The tax burden has shifted from corporations and the wealthy to middle and lower classes.

If state leaders want to help Long Island residents make ends meet, major changes need to take place, mainly in the way primary education is funded. Property taxes are largely used to fund local school districts. Local control is good, but the disparities from one community to the next indicate the problem.

A simple Google search shows that in Southampton, for example, a six-bedroom home, built in 2006 that sits on 1.73 acres, is on the market for $2.6 million, with taxes totaling $6,458. In Kings Park, a two-bedroom home, built in 1960, situated on 0.13 of an acre, lists for $265,000, but incurs more property taxes: $7,056.

New York needs a better system.

In his budget speech, Cuomo got it right when he said if you don’t have it, you can’t pay for it. But governor has curiously not stepped in to help the Town of Huntington, which is facing legal proceedings with LIPA and National Grid. LIPA and National Grid want to reduce the tax burden on the Northport power plant by 90%. LIPA is a state entity created in 1997, when the state bailed out LILCO and its failed Shoreham nuclear project. Since then, LIPA has been reimbursing National Grid for its power plant’s property taxes. This case most dramatically impacts the Northport-East Northport School District and the 35,000 residents who live there.

A Boston Globe article from 2014 reports that National Grid’s CEO saw a 50% salary increase from $5 million to $7.8 that year. That was just four years after LIPA and National Grid filed its tax certiorari case against the Town of Huntington..

Long Island taxpayers need major reform to alleviate and more equitably distribute the property tax burden.

A goodbye to primary supporters and LI better job of running for office than my team and I were able to do. The voice and perspective of a trained scientist can do a world of good as part of a diverse legislative body.

At the same time, a scientist often works at state and federal institutions, prohibiting a campaign. Scientists often do not hold jobs suitable for part-time hours or for repeated lengthy work stops.

These obstacles can be overcome. And I have quite a few things to say about how our strategy should differ from the advice offered to candidates from other walks of life.

To begin this mission, my team is preparing a video based on a talk invited by the Graduate Student Women in Science and Engineering at Stony Brook University last November. This video will be posted soon at www.elainedimasi.

Before my dog Cozy and I make our drive across the country, please feel welcome to meet up at our VERY informal going-away party. We’ll be enjoying snacks and conversation — amid a chaos of packed boxes — at my home in Ronkonkoma, Saturday, April 20 beginning at 3 p.m. See www. elainedimasi.com/events for details.

Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for all you do.

More to blame in Yemen bombing The blame-America-first crowd is alive and well, this time in the person of Myrna Lee Gordon and her pacifist friends in the North Country Peace Group. [TBR News Media newspapers letter March 28.] The United States, we are told, shares the blame for the deaths of 40 children in Yemen, because Saudi Arabia used a bomb manufactured by Lockheed Martin to destroy the bus in which they were riding. No criticism, of course, is directed toward the Saudis, their government or their flight crews.

No one claims that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an ideal partner in this troubled world. The recent assassination of Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi embassy in Turkey was a terrible and unforgivable crime, for which no one has yet been held accountable.

Fifteen of the 19 September 11 hijackers were citizens of Saudi Arabia. The Saudi record with respect to human rights is deplorable and is condoned by no American citizen. And yet, despite these extremely disturbing shortcomings, which no one seeks to minimize, our government has found it necessary to form an alliance with

Saudi Arabia, because it is in our best interest as a nation to do so. The prime reason for this decision is to reinforce the balance of power in the Middle East, in which the nation of Iran is our leading adversary. Such an alliance is not without precedent. In World War II, for example, our allies included the Soviet Union, with whom we formed a coalition because we had a common purpose in defeating Nazi Germany and the Third Reich, in spite of the atrocities committed by Joseph Stalin with the intentional starvation of millions of Ukrainian civilians.

President Franklin Roosevelt was correct in 1940 when he asserted that the United States was the “arsenal of democracy.” Today, Saudi Arabia is clearly not a democracy. The Saudis are, however, our military allies, and it is in our best national interest to see to it that they, along with our greatest Middle Eastern ally, Israel, maintain the strongest possible military presence in that troubled part of the world. Pursuant to this objective, we provide substantial military assistance to both of these countries. Part of this

support includes a number of laserguided MK82 bombs, manufactured

by Lockheed Martin. These weapons are designed to be delivered to their intended targets with pinpoint precision, as was clearly demonstrated during our successful actions against ISIS, the Islamist terrorist organization that has now been defeated.

It is unfortunate that one of these weapons was misused by another country, with tragic results. It is also unfortunate that the pacifists among us miss no opportunity to denigrate the armed forces of the United States, along with its commander in chief, President Donald Trump (R), our fine congressional representative, Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), and a leading member of the arsenal of democracy, the great Lockheed Martin Corp. It would be wonderful indeed if the North Country Peace Group would express some degree of appreciation on behalf of the lives of potential victims of Iran, ISIS and other terrorist groups that we have saved, but that would surely be too much to ask.

The equivalent of a literary eye roll

W

hen we want to use a pronoun to refer to a deity, we use a capital letter out of respect, so that even if we’re writing about His will, we use the capital “H” in the middle of a sentence. For some, of course, the capital letter could also represent a female deity, as in, I thought I would get the job, but, apparently, She had other D. None plans for me.

That’s so wonof the above derfully deferential

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF that it shows that only supreme beings merit such grammatical greatness.

But what about all the people we can’t

stand, whose ideas are ruining our day or, gasp, our country?

We have long used symbols or faux letters, like an asterisk (*) to take the place of a letter or words we all know, so that we might write, “What the **** was he thinking when he cut me off for a parking spot at the supermarket?”

Nowadays, though, I think the politics of personal animus requires more than a few letter abbreviation or a casual dismissal. We need the equivalent of a literary eye roll, which can show a level of antipathy and disrespect befitting the lack of humanity, the utter depravity or the absolute inanity that defines someone’s actions or words that make us grind our teeth or snarl in frustration.

How about a super lower-case first letter of a pronoun, to make it clear that we don’t just disagree with someone, but we find that person so frustrating, evil, despicable, irritating and/ or ridiculous that the person doesn’t merit a customary human pronoun? Perhaps we need

a symbol that does the graffiti equivalent of writing that person’s name and spray painting an “X” or a thumbs-down sign over it.

Instead of referring to the person people either love, hate or love to hate, as he or him, we could use a diminutive placeholder for the personal pronoun, like *e seems poised to start another war to satisfy his ego, or *is idea so completely lacked substance that it’s hard to argue with *im when *e hasn’t read any intelligence reports.

On the other side, we might see a nemesis as unworthy of a typical pronoun, arguing that *he is preventing this great country from marching forward or *er ideas seem rooted in the word “no.”

But, of course, this doesn’t have to be limited to the power elite in Washington, D.C. It can refer to anyone, allowing us to alter the personal pronoun in a way that underscores our distaste for the idea, the person, or *is or *er actions.

Let’s say we’re watching a Little League game and a mother, father, grandparent or just random fan comes by and heckles an umpire.

That seems so utterly absurd that, in the retelling, we might want to point out how *is words set the wrong example, or *he made me throw up in my mouth.

When we’re tapping out a text message to our friends, we might share our disgust that *he had the nerve to ask me if *er choice to date my best friend was OK. We might realize that this person seemed eager to train *er dog to use my lawn as a bathroom or that *e was telling me how to live my life when *e apparently has no idea how to live *is.

These super lower-case pronouns can allow us to vent in code to our family and friends.

We might suggest that *e is driving me crazy.

If *e actually read the email or text, *e might have no idea that the subject of this diminutive pronoun is, in fact, *im.

‘The British are coming! The British are coming!’ Not really.

Listen, my children, and you shall hear Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On the eighteenth of April in Seventy-Five: Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year.

So begins Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride,” about the famous midnight gallop that happened 244 years ago. The poem was first published in The Atlantic Monthly on January 1861, and I dutifully learned the first lines as a young student. As a result, every April Between 18 I think of Paul you and me Revere.

Who, exactly

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF was Paul Revere?

I know that he was a talented silversmith because I have seen some of his work, starting with teapots and

engravings, at antique shows. I also assumed that Revere was an ardent colonialist, hanging out with the likes of Samuel Adams and John Hancock, to whom he rode through the night in Concord to warn them of imminent capture by the British troops. That was about it until I did a little research, and here is what I found.

Revere was born in Boston on either Dec. 21, 1734, or Jan. 1, 1735, depending on different calendar conversions. That still makes him 40 years old that famous night. His father was Apollos Rivoire, a French Huguenot immigrant who had come on his own at the age of 13 to the New World and eventually married Deborah Hitchborn, the Boston-born daughter of an artisan and wharf-owning family (whose last name was also spelled Hichborn and Hitchbourn). Revere, the third of 12 children, attended school from age 7 through 13 and then learned the silversmithing trade. He was married twice, having been widowed in 1773 and remarried that same year, which means he was little more than a newlywed the night of the ride.

In addition to his work with silver, Revere did some dentistry to augment his income. He participated in the Boston Tea Party, during

which Bostonians threw tea into Boston Harbor from the holds of ships anchored there to protest against parliamentary taxation without representation.

The colonists were increasingly angered by severe taxes imposed on them by their mother country to help repay the considerable debt Britain had incurred from fighting the French and Indian War. Revere, as a rider for Boston’s Committee on Safety, had devised a system of signals with lanterns to communicate the whereabouts of the British soldiers. Hence that night, the message was, “One, if by land, two, if by sea.” In a sense, Revere was Boston’s first media man.

With others, he was aware that the British troops might shortly be on the move because on April 16, 1775, he rode out to Concord, Massachusetts, to urge the patriots there to move their military stores to a different location.

On the night of April 18, Dr. Joseph Warren told Revere and William Dawes that the king’s troops were about to embark in boats from Boston to go to Cambridge, and from there to Lexington and Concord by road that night.

Beauty, and waited on the far bank of the Charles River for the signal from the steeple of the Old North Church. Revere and Dawes made the ride from different locations should one of them be blocked from leaving Boston.

Revere, however, had the benefit of a distinguished publicist, Longfellow, who honored him accordingly. Also left out of the story was Dr. Samuel Prescott, who rode on to Concord after Revere was captured by a British patrol in Lexington. Revere soon escaped, while Dawes lost his horse and had to walk back to Lexington. But Prescott made it through to carry the warning.

Revere and the others surely did not yell, “The British are coming!” despite tales to the contrary. They were, in the final analysis, all British. They probably said, “The redcoats are coming!” and they surely didn’t yell since British troops were stationed throughout the countryside. Such is the mystique of history.

But “that famous day and year,” we know from ensuing battles, is true and to be celebrated this day.
