Losquadro to Reveal Holtsville Hal’s Famous Prediction in Virtual Groundhog Day Ceremony Six more weeks of winter or an early spring? On Tuesday, Feb. 2, Superintendent Daniel P. Losquadro will announce Holtsville Hal’s famous forecast in a virtual ceremony to stream live on Facebook. According to tradition, if a groundhog sees its shadow after stirring from hibernation on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter weather; if not, spring should arrive early. Superintendent Losquadro will reveal Hal’s forecast at approximately 7:25 a.m.
Holtsville Hal’s handler, Gregg Drossel, shows him to the crowd during a previous Groundhog Day celebration.
William Floyd Elementary School Museum Day Thrives Despite Pandemic Despite the ongoing pandemic, William Floyd Elementary School found a way to continue the school’s beloved Museum Day, a fun and educational 17-year tradition that usually transforms the classrooms, hallways and gymnasium of the school into museums, laboratories and art galleries with visits from various Long Island educational institutions. So, on December 18, students enjoyed – for the first time – an entirely virtual Museum Day. Determined to provide her students with this opportunity this school year, school librarian Margaret Finne worked tirelessly to arrange for Long Island’s virtual institutions to present and collaborate virtually. She also arranged for new and exciting additions to the virtual program including the American Museum of Magic in Michigan and the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., where students participated in a Lunar Rover and Habitat Design challenge. “Our students had the opportunity to participate in so many exciting STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art & mathematics) adventures,” said Ms. Finne. “This was an amazing day and I look forward to incorporating these outof-town institutions into future inperson Museum Day events to keep
“Our annual Groundhog Day celebration is an enjoyable tradition for many local families,”
Superintendent Losquadro said. “While we are disheartened that we will not be able to open the ceremony to members of the public this year due to potential COVID risks, families will still be able to see Holtsville Hal and learn of his Prognostication.” The online ceremony, which will begin at 7:15 a.m., can be viewed at @brookhavenwildlifecenter @danlosquadrohwysuperintendent
It will also be viewable on the Town of Brookhaven website at w w w.Brook havenN Y.gov/896/ Groundhog-Day, throughout the day, for those who miss the live stream.

Additionally, the Pollock-Krasner House and Study Center (legendary artist Jackson Pollock) introduced students to the art of learning with splatter paint workshops.
Suffolk County and Brookhaven Town Republican Chairman Jesse Garcia today announced Stony Brook resident Theresa Laucella as the party’s candidate in the March 23 special election for the First Town Council District. “Theresa Laucella is the kind of woman we want to see in government representing our residents. As a working mother who is an active volunteer in our community, she will be a common-sense voice on the Town Board to hold the line on taxes keep our Town an affordable place to live,
safe for our children, and work with Ed Romaine to continue to preserve our environment for generations to come. Laucella, 48, has been an active volunteer in the Three Village area working to improve the quality of life for residents there with projects ranging from community plantings and cleanups to improving signage. A mother of one, she is an active Girl Scouts of America leader and is a member of St. James RC Church. She and her husband, Keith, and daughter (pictured above) live in Stony Brook.

Long Island’s Senate Republican Delegation Urges Gov. Cuomo to Aid Struggling Ice Rinks
Long Island Republican State Senators Anthony Palumbo (R,CNew Suffolk), Mario Mattera (2nd Senate District), Alexis Weik (3rd Senate District) and Phil Boyle (4th Senate District) today sent a letter to Governor Cuomo requesting that he immediately recategorize youth ice hockey’s risk level from “high” to “moderate.” This move would allow Long Island’s ice rinks to host nonchecking games. The Senators argue that this simple change will help Long Island’s ice rinks survive the economic hardship created by the pandemic, while ensuring that the tradition of youth hockey continues throughout the region. “Ice rinks throughout Long Island have taken necessary precautions to ensure that non-checking ice hockey can be played in a safe environment,” said Palumbo. “By simply recategorizing youth hockey from ‘high’ risk to ‘moderate,’ we can help save these struggling businesses and provide enjoyment for the Long Island’s youth hockey players and their families. It’s a win-win for the
region and our residents during these difficult times.” “These community centers are essential to our local economy and it is so important that our state works with them so they can continue to serve our young athletes. They provide more than just a business relationship with many families who count on them for entertainment, exercise and a sense of normal life. That is why it is so important that our state allows them to play the game with the same rules as rinks in our surrounding states. While we all agree that the health and safety of our young athletes must be our main concern, our rinks have made protecting them their number one concern and their efforts must be respected by our state,” stated Senator Mario Mattera (2nd Senate District). “Ice rinks play an important role in our community. It is imperative we do everything we can to ensure these small businesses can survive. These rinks have proven they can follow all State and CDC required protocols to keep competitors, fans, and employees safe. By designating
youth hockey as a “moderate” risk sport, our young competitors can once again play sports and the rinks

The most profitable time of the year for ice rinks is December through February and the revenue generated at those times helps sustain their businesses year-round. This reclassification is reasonable and appropriate, as the Governor allows non-checking roller hockey games to be played as long as the participants and facility are following guidelines. Currently, many of the region’s ice rinks follow state recommendations and have implemented protocols for safe play, which include: wearing masks at all times, no checking, limiting the number of players on a team and limiting spectators.

played safely following appropriate guidelines, and New York should follow the lead of other states in allowing it,” said Senator Phil Boyle (4th Senate District).
“Our local ice rinks have strictly adhered to New York State’s safety measures and as a result, none of these facilities have had to shut down due to COVID-19 exposure or outbreak,” said Palumbo. “Clearly, our ice rinks are doing everything they can do to ensure a safe environment. I urge Governor Cuomo to make this simple change to help these struggling businesses survive and allow nonchecking ice hockey to be played on Long Island.”
DeStefano Calls Out Governor’s Failed Vaccine Rollout Assemblyman Joe DeStefano (R,C,I-Medford) called out Gov. Cuomo this week on his ineffective vaccine distribution plan. “The governor’s vaccine roll out has been disappointing and even with its amended rules, the plan is still chaotic and confusing,” said DeStefano. “Countless constituents continue to express concerns, questions and frustrations. Gov. Cuomo needs to get this vaccine distributed as soon as possible. We cannot throw away such a valuable, lifesaving vaccine. We need action in these times of uncertainty.” A drive-through COVID-19 vaccine location is expected to open in Jones Beach and a website has been created in order to make appointments. (See information below.) The pandemic has exacerbated the state’s budget deficit and caused financial hardship on businesses across the state, the Assemblyman said. “Businesses will keep closing, people will continue to lose their jobs, homes and income,” DeStefano
continued. “The state is facing a massive budget deficit. If we don’t address the issues we are facing with the pandemic, we cannot move forward. We need a clear plan to reopen businesses and prevent more from shutting down. Pop up art shows with millionaires and costly green energy initiatives are not bold initiatives to help with the challenges so many New Yorkers are facing today. The vaccine is key to reopen New York state.” The governor recently amended the rules regarding who qualifies. Now people over 65 and public employees, as well as New Yorkers in Phases 1a and 1b, are eligible for the vaccine, but the list must be quickly expanded beyond that so all New Yorkers are covered. Eligibility for the vaccine can be determined by visiting https:// am-i-eligible.cov id19vaccine. health.ny.gov/ or New York’s new ‘Am I Eligible’ app. New Yorkers can also call the New York State Vaccination Hotline at 1-833-NYS4VAX (1-833-697-4829). Vaccines
Assemblyman Joe DeStefano are by appointment only. Due to the limited distribution of vaccine supply, appointments could take up to 14 weeks. Please be patient.
Assemblyman DeStefano represents the 3rd District, which consists of Suffolk County, including Medford and Mastic/Shirley. For

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Established 1984 - Published Weekly
Calling on the Governor Governor Cuomo, As New York State continues the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination plan in an effort to help end this pandemic, I strongly urge that you make more vaccinations available for the residents of Suffolk County and take into consideration utilizing more locations within the Town of Brookhaven for vaccination distribution. Brookhaven Town has expressed willingness to allow the State to utilize all of their Senior Centers as vaccination centers. This has the potential to be a great resource in the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine. As the largest Town geographically with roughly half a million residents, the Town of Brookhaven is in need of a greater supply of vaccinations. By releasing more vaccines to our area and utilizing the facilities in the Town of Brookhaven, we are making more vaccines accessible to every Hamlet on both the north shore and south shore of Long Island. It is also important that we work towards a more user-friendly system for vaccination appointments and distribution. Many of our residents who are eligible for the vaccination at this time such as senior citizens have difficulty using the computer and cannot be on hold for extended periods of time. It is unrealistic to have the entire state calling into one number to schedule vaccination appointments; we have already seen many issues with the call in system. If we are going to work towards ending this pandemic, having more access to vaccines will be a key factor. I urge you to take into consideration expanding the availability of vaccines. By working together during in this difficult time, we will get through this pandemic and reopen New York. Sincerely,
Rudolph A. Sunderman Legislator, Third Legislative District Suffolk County Legislature

While Congressman Lee Zeldin’s recent positions seeking to prevent further national division during this volatile time have been the subject of debate for some, what is not debatable is what he has accomplished and continues to accomplish for Suffolk County and its people. Representative Zeldin championed a successful effort to save Plum Island, helped obtain a $2 billion Electron Ion Collider for Brookhaven National Lab, creating countless high paying jobs, secured a veteran’s health care clinic for the East End of Long Island, helped repeal the MTA Tax for 80% of employers, advanced numerous Army Corps projects for his district, including the over $1 billion Fire Island to Montauk Point (FIMP) project and brought home $300 million in COVID relief to save Suffolk County from financial ruin and much, much more. Ranked as the 12th most bipartisan member of the 437 member House of Representatives by Georgetown University’s prestigious McCourt School of Public Policy, Congressman Zeldin has consistently put the needs of Suffolk’s residents and local businesses first, and I remain confident that he will continue to do so.

COUNTY
Suffolk Legislature Modernizes Auditorium with Videoconferencing Upgrades
A project to modernize the auditorium in the Suffolk County Legislature’s William H. Rogers Building in Hauppauge has been completed, allowing for upgraded videoconferencing capabilities to meet the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic. The technological improvements made to the Rose Caracappa Legislature Auditorium, where Suffolk lawmakers typically convene around a large horseshoe to hold meetings and vote on legislation, allow for either remote legislative meetings or hybrid legislative meetings with some legislators attending in person in Hauppauge and others participating remotely by videoconference. “In a year where the world relied on technology more than ever before, the Suffolk County Legislature was no different,” said Presiding Officer Rob Calarco. “With 18 legislators and others who sit in and around our horseshoe, it has not been possible for all of us to meet in person while complying with COVID-19 safety guidelines, so holding virtual meetings has been critical to allowing for the safe continuance of government operations during the pandemic. With the technology upgrades made to our auditorium, we have been able to continue to hold legislative meetings effectively and safely and are now able to bring some legislators back into the horseshoe with room to social distance as others participate remotely.” Monitors that display the videoconferencing screen have
main been
installed inside the horseshoe and facing the public seating area so that those attending meetings in person can see all participating legislators. Additionally, the sound and video booth in the back of the auditorium and audio and visual equipment have been upgraded to minimize streaming interruptions. Since the onset of the pandemic, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has been issuing executive orders exempting municipal boards from certain provisions of the state’s Open Meetings Law. The waiver has made it easier for municipalities to conduct meetings remotely at a time when meeting in person could be difficult or unsafe. When the waiver to the Open Meetings Law ends, Presiding Officer Calarco said, the upgrades to the legislature auditorium will help ensure that the body can still utilize videoconferencing moving forward. “Since the legislature will likely need to operate remotely in at least some capacity for the foreseeable future, these upgrades give us the flexibility to continue to use videoconferencing in full compliance with the Open Meetings Law,” said Presiding Officer Calarco. “Videoconferencing is no longer the way of the future; it is the way of the present. Having the ability to use this technology in our auditorium could have many benefits in the long run.” The Open Meetings Law allows for lawmakers to participate in legislative meetings by videoconference if certain
provisions are met. Presiding Officer Calarco has introduced legislation to set forth videoconferencing rules that comply with the law and that would allow lawmakers to participate in legislative meetings by videoconferencing from a public location. “Suffolk County rose to the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, putting in place technology that enabled us to continue to do the work of the people,” said Majority Leader Susan A. Berland, cosponsor of a resolution to fund the project. “These upgrades have and will continue to allow those who might not otherwise have the ability to participate in legislative proceedings the chance to voice their concerns. Now that we have this important technology in place, I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to ensure that County government is increasingly accessible and transparent for all our constituents.” “In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the effect it had on every aspect of our daily lives, the legislature needed to reimagine the way we conduct our meetings and upgrade the video equipment in our auditoriums,” added Legislator Jason Richberg, who also co-sponsored a resolution to help fund the project. “While the pandemic created the need, these upgrades will continue to be utilized far after this pandemic ends, and beyond. This upgrade brings us into the 21st century and will help provide transparency and make

Monitors that display the videoconferencing screen have been installed inside the horseshoe and in the auditorium facing the public seating area. our legislative meetings more accessible to all.” The $300,000 project utilized funding that was diverted from other projects to reflect changed priorities after the pandemic hit. Because the technology upgrades were necessitated by the COVID emergency, Presiding Officer Calarco said the legislature will be submitting for reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Legislative leaders have made strides in upgrading technology over the last few
years. In 2016, a dynamic four-camera video streaming system replaced a fixed one-camera system in the Hauppauge auditorium, where the majority of the legislature’s meetings are held. Also that year, a camera system was installed in the Maxine S. Postal Auditorium at the Evans K. Griffing Building in Riverside to allow for video streaming when the legislature meets there. In early 2020, the legislature’s server and backup systems were upgraded to expand streaming services to include committee meetings, which previously were streamed with only audio.

SUFFOLK CLOSEUP BY KARL GROSSMAN The road to public power—to the creation of a Long Island Power Authority—was a tough one with the then Long Island Lighting Company powerful politically and aggressively fighting that here. I recall a meeting of the Suffolk Legislature at which public power was focused upon. There was LILCO Vice President Ira Freilicher at the doorway to the meeting room of the Suffolk Legislature in Riverhead as I wrote about in my book Power Crazy—its title derived from LILCO’s plan to build seven to eleven nuclear power plants in Suffolk, indeed a power crazy scheme. “What are you worried about? You may end up the vice president of TVA on Long Island,” I said kidding him, referring to the Tennessee Valley Authority, the nation’s largest publicly owned utility.
County legislator and then jumped over to LILCO. There was a good number of other LILCO officials. “I’ve heard about things like this but never saw it with my own eyes,” said Dorothy Wolosin, president of the People’s Action Coalition formed to fight the LILCO nuclear plant scheme. “It is very obvious that LILCO has enough power to dictate exactly what it wants.”
The South Shore Press • January 20, 2021
The Road to Public Power Was a Tough One generated more public response on Long Island.” Hanging on a far wall in his office was
who wanted to build a four-lane highway the length of Fire Island. A Fire Island National Seashore would—and did—stop the road scheme.
“I checked into how much they make at the TVA,” he responded quickly, saying he found out that its chairman, David Freeman “makes only $23,000.” Mr. Freilicher, as chief of LILCO public relations and affairs, was then making $78,000, almost 40 percent more than the head of the vast TVA. Also on hand at the meeting lobbying against public power on Long Island was Elaine Robinson, who had been a Suffolk
“It’s unbelievable,” Mr. Barbash told me. “The phones are jumping off the hook. I’ve never seen an issue that has
is here. My family is here. I love it here.” The initial nuclear power plant LILCO had been constructing, at Shoreham, is a “major threat to life,’ he said. Mr. Barbash pulled out a report done for Citizens to Replace LILCO by the Energy Systems Research Group of Boston. The report said a Long Island Power Authority “would not share LILCO’s corporate imperative that Shoreham operate.”
It was the early 1980s and that day the measure seeking not-for-profit public power here failed. “It shows once again that LILCO is far more than an innocent utility in Suffolk County,” said then Legislator Gregory Blass of Jamesport. “It is a major political power and there continues a close relationship between LILCO and county government.” Meanwhile, in the 1980s, Maurice (Murray) Barbash, chairman of Citizen to Replace LILCO, was working away at his office a mile from the waterfall on Sumpwams Creek in Babylon Village. The waterfall, through hydropower, was the source of energy for the first utility on Long Island, the Babylon Electric Lighting Company (subsequently absorbed by LILCO).

There were public power entities on Long Island. In 1899, the Village of Greenport inaugurated its public power system by purchasing a power plant from a company that was started a dozen years before. James Monsell, then Greenport superintendent of public utilities, regularly spoke of it providing electricity as a service, not as a business.

a bumper sticker from the group that Mr. Barbash had earlier led, the Citizen Committee for a Fire Island National Seashore. And it was up against a hugely powerful foe, too, Robert Moses
“This dwarfs the Fire Island issue, on an economical level, on an environmental level,” said Mr. Barbash. “I’ve had a long affair going with Long Island. I think it’s the greatest place to live. My way of life
Ultimately, a Long Island Power Authority was established and stopped Shoreham from going into commercial operation, and initially represented a vision of a public power entity with elected trustees providing electric service on Long Island. But that vision is now at a crossroads. More next week on the future for LIPA.

THE BETTOR ANGLE
TM
BY TOM BARTON The New York Jets aren’t exactly “on the clock” but they might as well be. We know the Jaguars are taking Trevor Lawrence at #1 overall in this April’s NFL Draft. The betting line has Lawrence set at -6000. So that leaves the big decision up to the Big Green.
looked really bad against Northwestern and Indiana, thus making him less of a sure thing. Zach Wilson bolted up the draft boards, but many still point to the fact he hasn’t played elite competition coming from BYU. Then there are guys like Trey Lance and Mac Jones.
There has been speculation for months now that the Jets would be moving on from Sam Darnold. Most of the season it looked like New York would get that #1 overall pick and the decision to draft Lawrence for themselves seemed clear. Sitting at #2 clouds the conversation. Many fans and those in the media still believe it’s best to move on from Darnold and grab one of the QB’s coming out. Justin Fields was the consensus second best quarterback coming into the season and he looked really good against Clemson. But it’s also hard to forget that he
The next school of thought is Penei Sewell. The left tackle from Oregon has been considered by many to be the surest thing of this year’s draft class and a sure fire pro bowler. He actually comes in as the 3rd player most likely to be drafted first overall. There is also the school of thought to move out of the 2 slot and gain more assets, but that can get tricky depending on what’s being offered and how far down the draft the Jets really want to fall. Then there is DeVona Smith. Betting odds have Smith landing somewhere outside the top 5 and before
DeVonta Smith at #2? and touchdowns (23). A good WR in the NFL makes everyone look better from the QB to the line to the head coach.

the #12 pick. The Heisman trophy winning wide receiver is probably the best WR in college football history. He will certainly be available at #2 and after watching his late season push would the Jets be foolish to let him pass
them? Smith dominated the National Championship game and let’s be honest he dominated the half. Smith had 12 catches for 215 yards and 3 TDs ... in the first half. He also led the nation in receiving yards (1,856), receptions (117)
The problem is that teams don’t ever seem to take a wide receiver with the No. 2 overall pick. The last time that happened was when the Lions grabbed Calvin Johnson in 2007, and only five wide receivers have been picked within the first five picks of the first round since then. With a lot of cash to burn under the cap and plenty of high profile WRs on the market (Robinson, Golladay, Godwin, Juju, etc) the thought is pay for one and use the draft for another need. I for one am in that camp. Smith is dynamic and a special player but there are bigger needs at the moment. I say pay for a WR and fill a different need.

Lost Boards, the Surfer’s Nightmare
FROM A TO Z BY ROBERT CHARTUK Along with flying, falling and the other common themes of our dreams, surfers suffer vivid night sweats featured around losing our boards. Many of these are based on real life experiences and I have certainly had my share. My first escapade involved a 6’0” Dick Brewer pintail which I bought when I was 14 with money earned by mowing lawns and farm work including picking string beans and working on a potato harvester, an activity that would surely raise child safety laws in this day and age. You would be credited with having put in a good day on the harvester when you wore holes in your work gloves as you plucked stones and other debris from the behemoth’s mechanical belt. One morning, I caught a ride to the beach with some friends and when we got there, my Brewer was no longer on the roof where we had indelicately strapped it. This was a depressing scenario especially since the waves were good and I had nothing to ride. About a month later, I was hitchhiking to the beach and was picked up by a guy in a van. As we were driving, I stole a peak to the back and there was my green pintail, along with a few other boards. I asked the guy where he got it and
he said he found it on the side of the road. I told him it was mine and he said I could have it back if I could describe it. Sure, a 6’0” Dick Brewer pintail with a hole drilled through the skeg for the leash. He graciously returned it, with the added bonus of having fixed some of the dings suffered from its flight off the roof. He was also heading to the beach and I got to surf at Jetty 4 on my reunited stick. Chalk one up for good Karma. Working at the time in the produce section at Gristedes Supermarket, I was confronted daily with the prospect of getting to and from Westhampton Beach, a problem I usually solved courtesy of my thumb. This necessitated traveling light and I stashed my board in an empty locker at Rogers Beach. To my chagrin one afternoon when the waves were firing, it went missing. Karmic Deficit: -1. When I was in my early 20’s, a longboard came into the Moriches Bay Historical Society thrift sale and I was on it. This wasn’t just any old board, but a classic Hobie nose rider from the 1960’s in pristine condition. It needed a skeg and when I called the Hobie shop in Dana Point, California to inquire about getting a new one, the guy offered me $800 for it over the phone. Naturally, I declined and
Page 9
foolishly rode the board instead of squirreling it away for its collector value. I kept my first boat, a 16’ MFG Gypsy, at Cerullo Brothers in East Moriches and left the Hobie on board to avoid the chore of lugging it back and forth. Sadly, one day, it was gone. Karmic Deficit: -2. Riding both short boards and long boards, I decided one day to
session at Ponquogue. A few years later, another young man appeared in the lineup and he was eying me with suspicion. “Where’d you get that board?” he wanted to know. It was the brother of the kid who lost the identical Kechele and I had to explain to him that it was not, in fact, the lost board. Karmic Affect: Neutral.

I ran into him a few months later and he was on a different board with a terrifying tale of having his Kechele blow away from him during a windy
and people would come up to me on the beach and comment on it. I rode it delightfully for eight years, including an excellent trip to Costa Rica, before breaking it during the Winter Storm Electra swell in Deal, New Jersey. About halfway through my ownership of that beautiful ride I copped a lift to the beach with the Boy King. He was in a rush when

he dropped me off at home and I jumped out quickly to grab my gear while he unstrapped the Hackman from the roof. About an hour later, I went out into the yard and wondered where my board was. Turns out that while the board was unstrapped, I failed to remove it from the racks
before the Boy King drove off. He said he remembered people beeping at him as he drove along Montauk Highway, but didn’t think anything of it. I immediately made posters which I put on telephone poles and at various area beaches. The next day I got a call from someone who had found a board, but it wasn’t mine. False alarm. For weeks, I went out of my way to surf different lineups hoping to be reunited. I was afflicted with the lost board curse of looking at every vehicle with a surfboard on it and even turned around on the Southern State one time to go after a car with what I thought was my woody. My crew said it was a lost cause, but I held out hope. Eight months after it flew off the Boy King’s roof, I got a call from a friend who heard from a friend who knew a guy whose sister had a surfboard she had found. I traced her to Manorville and there, behind the sofa in her living room was my long-lost Tak. The next day I paddled out at Cupsogue and joined the naysayers without saying a word. They quickly noticed the unique wooden board and were as stoked as I was to see it again. Lifetime Karmic Deficit holds at -1.

ASK NANCY BY NANCY BURNER, ESQ.
Q: A:
The South Shore Press • January 20, 2021

Will a Biden-Harris presidency change my estate plan?
Will a Biden-Harris presidency change my estate plan?
2020 was a monu ment a l year with many changes and 2021 may bring changes that affect your estate plan. There was a political shift in Washington, changes to the New York State Medicaid program, a world-wide pandemic, and amendments to state and local laws. So regardless of the policies and laws that have been proposed by President Biden and Vice President Harris, 2021 is a good time to review your estate plan with your attorney to ensure your planning is in line with the changes wrought by a tumultuous year. As a presidential candidate,
President-Elect Biden put forth two proposals that would most effect estate planning. Should Congress choose to advance these proposals, you should be in a position to understand how it may affect you and what the options are for action. One proposal is to decrease the Federal estate tax exemption from the current level. Under the Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the federal estate and gift tax exemption is $11.7 million. This means that there will be no Federal estate tax due if the assets left behind at death combined with the assets given away during life, are below that level. The Act, implemented in 2017, states that the exemption level will “sunset” in 2026, at
which point the exemption will be $5 million, indexed for inflation (likely to be about $6 million). As a candidate, President Biden proposed a reduction in this exemption to as low as $3.5 million. For many, a reduction in the exemption level will have no impact on their estate plan as their own assets fall below these levels. But for those with assets in excess of the new exemption, a change in their estate plan may be necessary to be most tax efficient. Married couples should be planning in a way that uses the estate tax exemptions for both spouses. Additionally, lifetime gifting and trust planning may be prudent to decrease the amount
of one’s taxable estate – while the exemption remains at its current level.
beneficiary subsequently sells the asset for $100 there is no capital gains tax due.
The second proposal that may alter estate planning techniques relates to capital gains tax. Capital gains tax is a type of income tax which is calculated when as asset is sold, based on any appreciation in value. For example, if a share of stock in a company is purchased at $1 and is subsequently sold for $100, there is a $99 gain which will be taxed. The law has long been that the stock gets a “step-up” in basis to fair market value at the death of the original owner. If the owner dies and the date of death value is $100, this will be the new basis by which capital gains is calculated. If a
This same set of laws governs the increase in property value for real property as well as other assets. Take, for example, the primary residence. Some homeowners purchased the property a long time ago and it has since increased greatly in value. In those situations, beneficiaries often rely on the step up in basis to the date of death value of the homeowner to eliminate or reduce taxes upon the sale of the home. The proposal from the candidate is to eliminate this step up at death. On those assets that have greatly increased in value, the beneficiaries of the
A S K N A N C Y • P H O NE : ( 6 3 1) 9 41-3 4 3 4 • E M A IL : INF O @ B U R NE R L AW. C O M
estate would have a higher tax to pay upon the sale of the asset. If the step up in basis at date of death is eliminated, some individuals may sell these types of assets while they are alive or do other tax-related planning to minimize the impact. Whether you are concerned about these particular tax changes or not, it is advisable to check in with your estate planning attorney, financial advisor, accountant and other advisors to review your estate plan in light of the many changes that have taken place on the State and Federal levels in the past twelve months. - Britt Burner, Esq. and Nancy Burner, Esq.

VETERANS WAY
Agent Orange
BY REV. FREDERICK MILLER. PH.D. Agent Orange was used during the Vietnam War as the herbicide to clear the forests leaves and vegetation for military operations. The military sprayed Agent Orange over more than 20 percent of South Vietnam between the early 1960’s and early 1970’s in an attempt to flush out their enemies. Agent Orange is colorless, named because of the orange band painted on the drums used during storage and transport. The compound in Agent Orange most commonly linked to medical or health effects is dioxin. This was not intentionally added to Agent Orange, but rather a byproduct formed during the manufacturing process. Dioxin is a known carcinogen that’s toxic in even small doses.
HEALTH EFFECTS OF AGENT ORANGE
About three million veterans served in Southeast Asia, and no one knows for sure how many of these veterans were exposed to Agent Orange. Some service members were deployed in areas during and immediately after spraying, and others actually handled the Agent. Veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange may have certain related illnesses. Blue Water Navy Veterans who served aboard ships in the open waters of the coast of Vietnam during the war are now presumed to be exposed to Agent Orange.

OF MEN & ANGELS BY DOMINICK FORTE This is the winter of our discontent. A new President vows an America United while his party impeaches an unpopular outgoing President with eight days left to his term of office. Plans are made to remove him from office even after he is no longer in office. The street violence continues with mercenary insurrectionists occupying and burning our cities. They are sacking, pillaging, and plundering our streets to the left of us. Rioters are storming our nation’s capital to the right. The majority class is stuck in the middle. During this chaotic upheaval, politicians offer solutions such as defunding the police and sending psychologists and social workers to hot spots to quell the street violence. Peace officers’ efforts to keep the peace are impeded. The plagues are upon us.
Famine threatens those who have lost their jobs due to the germ warfare which has been unleashed from across the Pacific. Families must choose between food for their kids and heat for their homes. Those who wallow helplessly in poverty don’t even have homes; they must cast their fate to the icy winds. They place their hope in the promises of bureaucratic bearers of falsehood, the false prophets. Nature runs rampant as we lose the fight of man versus nature. Earthquakes, tsunamis, deadly blizzards, and raging wildfires become all too commonplace. Are we to abandon all hope? In times like these hope in the providence of God is our only refuge. But, keep the faith; there will be a change. During our human history the presence of archangels is a signal that great change is imminent. Today the Archangels are among
us. They will lead the fight against evil. They will make their presence known when it is to their strategic advantage. Make no mistake about it. The Archangels are waiting for the optimum time to appear in all their power and might to lead the righteous in the unending war of good versus evil. And, make no mistake about it, good will triumph over evil. The forces of good will be commanded by Michael the Archangel. Michael is God’s foremost servant in heaven and his role is clear from episodes in which God sends him down among us to act on His behalf. His singular elite status in Heaven affords him great domain. The Book of Revelation tells that at the climactic battle of Armageddon Michael will spearhead the final battle of good versus evil. He will lead
A Change is Gonna Come: Michael is on It! God’s army against the troops of the Prince of Darkness. At the pinnacle of this great battle, Michael will descend from the highest point in Heaven holding the key to the abyss and swirling a great chain. He will engage Satan and bind him tightly with the chain and cast him into the abyss. He will hurl the Devil, the source of all evil, and his demonic followers into hell and lock the gates. Order and tranquility will be restored and God’s kingdom will prevail. Good will ultimately triumph over evil. It can be no other way. God will rule and the righteous will enjoy an eternal peace and a lasting prosperity. The unrest we now experience is temporary. It will be eradicated and serenity will prevail forever. God and his Heavenly Hosts will maintain a lasting peace. God is merely biding his time. And His time is upon us.

COUNTERTRANSFERENCE MANAGING TRIGGERS
-
It’s important to have a goto practice for sidestepping the most intense waves of our countertransference reactions to clients. Do the following when you’re experiencing significant reactivity to your work with a client: STOP .... Pause in what you’re doing and give yourself permission to address your reactions. NOTICE sensations in the body and your mind’s reactive thoughts. How is the reactivity manifesting in your chest, shoulders, arms, hands and face? Tune into the flow of your thinking and track it for a moment.
for your session.
ALLOW the thoughts and bodily sensations all to be just as they are. Don’t flinch away. Don’t try to push them down. Simply choose to watch them.
Ask: Can I make space for these difficult thoughts and feelings? Put full attention on any physical sensations that may accompany the feelings.
PENETRATE them all with slow, deep breathing. Take as many of these breaths as you feel you need
Send kind wishes (such as “may you find ease and peace”) to these sensations.
PROMPT yourself toward compassion for yourself and the client. How might your next intervention with this client be different?
Imagine your client and send him or her a similar kind wish. Spend some time simply breathing and bringing compassion to what’s arising in your body and mind.
NO-SHOW MEDITATION -
I’m sure we’ve all had a client noshow! Instead of it being a source of frustration (which can ripple out negativity in our day and our work), what if we could turn the
situation into a “mindfulness bell” for practice?
Acknowledge the thoughts and emotional sensations arising at the possibility of the client not showing

The documents are served automatically on all consenting e-filers as soon as the document is uploaded to the website, which sends out an immediate email notification of the filing. The NYSCEF System charges no fees for filing, serving, or viewing the electronic case record, nor does it charge any fees to print any filed documents. Normal filing fees must be paid, but this can be done on-line. Parties represented by an attorney: Counsel for parties served with this notice must either: 1) immediately record their representation within the e-filed proceeding on the NYSCEF site; or 2) file the Notice of Opt-Out form with the clerk of the court where this proceeding is pending. Exemptions from mandatory e-filing are limited to attorneys who certify in good faith that they lack the computer hardware and/or scanner and/or internet connection or that they lack (along with all employees subject to their direction) the operational knowledge to comply with e-filing requirements. [Section 207.4-aa(e)] Parties not represented by an attorney: Unrepresented litigants are exempt from e-filing. They can serve and file documents in paper form and must be served with documents in paper form. However, an unrepresented litigant may participate in e-filing.
For information on how to participate in e-filing, unrepresented litigants should contact the appropriate clerk in the court where the proceeding was filed or visit www.nycourts. gov/efileunrepresented. Unrepresented litigants also are encouraged to visit www.nycourthelp. gov or contact the Help Center in the court where the proceeding was filed. An unrepresented litigant who consents to e-filing may cease participation at any time. However, the other parties may continue to e-file their court documents in the proceeding.
