Village pushes back on National Grid petition to increase peaker output

opposition to the proposal.

“Please be finally advised of our deep concern regarding this entire situation, ultimately and especially because Port Jefferson Village depends upon the revenues of the power plant,” Riley said. “The village’s financial viability relies on this power center.”

Riley also expressed concerns about the environmental impact of increased output from the peaker units. “[LIPA] makes the argument in part that the Port Jefferson Power Plant is functionally obsolete and should be closed,” Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R-Center Moriches) said during the hearing. Romaine went on to argue considering the power plant functionally obsolete while simultaneously filing a petition to lift restrictions on peaker units are “contradictory assertions.”

Deputy Mayor and Trustee Larry LaPointe also provided testimony during the hearing.

“They’re increasing their ability to shut down the main plants in Port Jefferson forever, throwing this village under the bus, throwing our schoolchildren under the bus, throwing this community under the bus, throwing our senior citizens under the bus,” LaPointe said. “But of course that doesn’t seem to matter.”

Peaker plants are generally run using natural gas and are less efficient and more expensive to operate than baseload plants, like the Port Jefferson Power Station, which used steam.

Garant was expected to speak at a second hearing March 22 which occurred after the time of print. The commission will continue to take comments from the public until March 28 by email, on the department website or by phone.

Port Jefferson Village officials and residents, as well as Brookhaven Town officials and Suffolk County legislators, flocked to Port Jefferson Village Hall for two public hearings March 22 to voice opposition of a National Grid petition seeking elimination of restrictions on output of small peaker units located at the Port Jefferson Power Station. Peaker units are additional power generators generally used only when there is high demand for power.

National Grid issued the petition Feb. 28 to the New York State Public Service Commission. The hearing was hosted by the commission and overseen by Administrative Law Judge David Van Ort. Both Village Mayor Margot Garant and Port Jefferson School District Superintendent Paul Casciano at respective board meetings this week called the petition and subsequent hearings “pieces of a larger puzzle” in relation to the eventual fight between the village, the district and the Long Island Power Authority, who is a partner with National Grid in supplying power to the area. The village and district are both part of a pending lawsuit filed in 2015 about LIPA’s assertion they pay too much in property taxes. The power authority reiterated that claim in a Feb. 14 annual report on property tax reduction. Both the village and district receive substantial amounts of revenue from the power authority in the form of ratepayer tax dollars.

National Grid is seeking to eliminate the 79.9-megawatt cap on output on the peaker units and allow for maximum output. According to Van Ort, the company has cited greater efficiency as the reason behind their desire to lift restrictions on output, which were established in 2001.

“We, the people of Port Jefferson, believe that this hearing is a thinly veiled attempt to add extra capacity to the grid,” Village Trustee Bruce Miller said during the hearing. “Peakers are dirty. This expansion plan forecloses the clean air, cost-effective alternative that Port Jefferson offers for Long Island with the repowering of our baseload plants.”

In a letter submitted to the commission by Garant, she stated the village has been pursuing the repowering of existing older steam units in the village for more than 10 years. A spokesperson for National Grid did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and representatives from the company in attendance at the meeting declined to speak on behalf of National Grid.

“We need cleaner, cheaper energy on Long Island now,” Miller said. “We need to take dirty peakers off line and replace them with a modest plant with modern technology.”

Village resident Kathleen Riley also voiced

A look at what Trump’s budget draft could mean for LI Millions in cuts to federal programs North Shore residents use, senior and educational services

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com President Donald Trump (R) presented his blueprint for the 2017-18 federal budget and if passed by Congress as it stands, it spells out cuts to programs on which North Shore residents depend.

The draft includes more than $54 billion in cuts to federal programs and departments, with the biggest cuts to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. State, Labor and Agriculture departments.

State officials on both sides of the aisle were quick to condemn cuts to the U.S. Department of Energy, to the tune of $1.7 billion or 5.6 percent less than last year’s funding, that could impact Brookhaven National Laboratory. BNL was established by the DOE in 1947 and has housed the work of seven Nobel Prize winners. The lab hosts public tours and special programs, as well as school science fairs and robotic competitions, also scientific lectures for community residents.

Trump’s budget blueprint intends to cut $900 million in funding to the DOE’s Office of Science, under which BNL receives its funding among other national labs.

U.S. Sen. and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) held a press conference on the front steps of the Brookhaven lab in Upton March 17, calling the proposed cuts a blow to the community since the lab supplies jobs for as many as 3,000 Long Islanders.

‘This ... budget cut is a cut to our future, a cut to our knowledge, a cut to our research and a cut to good-paying Long Island jobs.’

— Sen. Chuck Schumer Schumer said in recent years BNL has received an annual $537.3 million in federal funds from the Office of Science budget, about $5 million in federal funds from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy and about $3 million from the Nuclear Energy Office.

“This major Department of Energy budget cut is a cut to our future, a cut to our knowledge, a cut to our research and a cut to good-paying Long Island jobs,” he said.

“Brookhaven National Lab is home to some of the world’s brightest minds and most cutting-edge innovations, which both advance human knowledge and spur our economy. ... These kinds of cuts not only hurt us today but they hurt the future jobs and the companies of tomorrow who would otherwise

trump budget Continued from page A5 plant their roots on Long Island.”

Schumer was not the only member of Congress from the area to speak out about the president’s cuts. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) has voiced his concerns while also assuring constituents there are many parts of Trump’s budget that are beneficial to the United States.

“I strongly oppose the proposed cuts to Brookhaven National Lab, SUNY Stony Brook and other sources of scientific research in the 1st Congressional District,” he said in a statement. “Throughout the years, we have seen some of the world’s greatest science research conducted at these facilities.”

Zeldin made sure to reiterate Trump’s blueprint is a draft with nothing set in stone.

“Regardless of who is in the White House, the Constitution puts government funding strictly under Congress to initiate through the appropriations process,” he said. “The president’s budget request is just that — a request. It has no force of law or legislation.”

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s budget could also see a $6.2 billion or 13.2 percent reduction, which means grants for certain local programs could be ended including the popular Meals on Wheels program that has branches in Three Village and Smithtown.

Meals on Wheels is a national program providing meals to senior citizens who cannot leave their homes to shop on their own.

Chapters in different states rely on funding from the Community Development Block Grant program through the H.U.D. In Trump’s budget blueprint he proposes eliminating the program, cutting $3 billion to community service organizations such

as Meals on Wheels, among others.

Although the Three Village Meals on Wheels is not in jeopardy, as all of its funding comes from community donations, Susan Hovani, president of the Three Village branch, said it would be a shame for other communities to lose funding — like Smithtown Meals on Wheels, which relies on federal funding to operate.

“These programs are very necessary,” she said in a phone interview. “It’s sad to see [federal funding] could be cut, and I think it would be much better to cut from other places.”

Another heap of programs on the chopping block are those funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s budget. Compared to last year’s budget, the department’s funding would decrease by $9 billion, or 13 percent.

immediately preceding and on the day of said meeting, except Saturdays, Sundays or holidays, from the Library, located at 170 Terryville Road, Port Jefferson Station, New York, during the hours in which the Library is regularly open for business; and FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that petitions nominating candidates for the Office of Trustee of the Comsewogue Public Library shall be filed in the Office of the Clerk of the Library, 170 Terryville Road, Port Jefferson Station, New York, between the hours of 9:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., prevailing time, Monday through Friday, but not later than 5:00 p.m., Monday, March 6, 2017. Each petition must be directed to the Office of the Clerk of the Library, must be signed by at least twentyfive (25) qualified voters of the District and must state the residence of each signer and the name and residence of the candidate; and FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that personal registration of voters is required either pursuant to section 2014 of the Education Law or pursuant to Article 5 of the Election Law. If a voter has heretofore registered pursuant to section 2014 of the Education Law and has voted at any annual or special district meeting within the past four (4) years, such voter is eligible to vote at this election; if the voter is registered and eligible to vote pursuant to Article 5 of the Election Law, such voter is also eligible to vote at this election.

All other persons who wish to vote must register. Registration may be effected during normal school hours when school is in

session at the Office of the District Clerk, Administrative Office, Comsewogue Union Free School District, 290 Norwood Avenue, Port Jefferson Station, NY.; and FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that pursuant to the provisions of 2018-a of the Education Law, absentee ballots for the election of Trustee of the Library and for the adoption of the annual budget may be applied for at the Office of the Clerk of the Comsewogue Public Library during regular business hours. Such application must be received by the Office of the Clerk of the Comsewogue Public Library seven (7) days prior to the vote/election if the ballot is to be mailed to the voter or by 5:00 p.m. on the day prior to the vote/election if the ballot is to be personally delivered to the voter. No absentee voter’s ballot shall be canvassed, unless it shall have been received in the Office of the Clerk of the Comsewogue Public Library no later than 5:00 p.m. on the day of the election. A list of all persons to whom absentee ballots shall have been issued will be available in the said Office of the Clerk of the Comsewogue Public Library on each of the five (5) days prior to April 4, 2017 except Saturdays, Sundays and holidays; and FURTHER NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, that a qualified voter whose ability to appear personally at the polling place is substantially impaired by reason of permanent illness or physical disability and whose registration record has been marked “permanently disabled” by the Board of Elections pursuant to

before and after-school programs as well as summer programs.

“The Trump administration’s call for zero funding for the 21st CCLC after-school initiative is a betrayal of the millions of students and parents who depend on afterschool and summer-learning programs,” Afterschool Alliance Executive Director Jodi Grant said in a statement.

Afterschool Alliance is one of the afterschool initiatives from the 21st CCLC that is responsible for many New York students after-school hours.

“It is painfully shortsighted and makes a mockery of the president’s promise to make our country safer and to support inner cities and rural communities alike,” she added.

Grant said after-school programs enable many parents to work and cutting these programs could jeopardize their ability to hold a job, as well as create a safe space for

kids when they have nowhere else to go or no other positive activities to turn to.

The president said the budget proposal is meant to advance the safety and security of the American people.

“Our aim is to meet the simple, but crucial demands of our citizens — a government that puts the needs of its own people first,” he said in the blueprint. “When we do that, we will set free the dreams of every American, and we will begin a new chapter of American greatness.”

Trump said the proposed cuts are crucial to streamlining government spending and operations.

“These cuts are sensible and rational,” he said. “Every agency and department will be driven to achieve greater efficiency and to eliminate wasteful spending in carrying out their honorable service to the American people.”

the provisions of the Election Law shall be entitled to receive an absentee ballot pursuant to the provisions of the Election Law without making separate application for such absentee ballot.

Zeldin calls for Long Island Sound, Estuary Program funding Congressman wants full funding of two programs, at least $36.5 million combined

By Kevin Redding kevin@tbrnewspapers.com The quality of Long Island waters has been on the mind of elected officials from all levels of government recently, and a representative from the federal government has joined the fray, calling for more funding for two Environmental Protection Agency programs.

“There’s much we can do to improve water quality in the Long Island Sound and National Estuary and I’ll continue working in Congress to ensure our waterways are preserved for generations to come,” U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) said during a press conference March 13.

Southold Town Council members and residents from the 1st Congressional District gathered at Veterans Memorial Park in Mattituck as Zeldin called on the federal government to fully fund at least $10 million to the Long Island Sound Study and $26.5 million to the National Estuary Program in its upcoming appropriations process at the end of April, and also to support the passage of the Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act. He said funding for the two EPA programs is essential to address urgent and challenging issues that threaten the ecological and economic well-being of Long Island’s coastal areas, such as nitrogen, harmful algae blooms and flooding or wetland loss.

“Over the years, water quality around Long Island has suffered from pollution, overdevelopment and other negative impacts ... and I’m calling on my colleagues to make sure these programs are fully supported and funded, and certainly not eliminated,” Zeldin said, highlighting the significant impacts each of the programs have had on the region.

The Long Island Sound is one of our natural treasures, the congressman said, and is a precious feature of the life, culture and economy of more than 9 million people living in the coastal communities around it. He voiced his admiration of the Long Island Sound Study for its dedication to water quality and wetlands restoration

in addition to local conservation projects to restore beaches and protect wildlife.

He called the National Estuary Program “an important EPA wetlands protection program for 28 estuaries in the U.S.,” two of which being the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay. The program was established by the Clean Water Act in 1987 to provide grants to states where nationally significant estuaries are threatened.

Zeldin said he will continue to work alongside Democrats and Republicans in the region to secure the funding as he did to stop President Barack Obama’s (D) proposed 22 percent cut to the Long Island Sound in 2016.

The Long Island Sound Restoration and Stewardship Act, he said, was introduced at the last Congress by himself and former 3rd District U.S. Rep. Steve Israel (D-Huntington) and will propose tens-of-millions of dollars in funding per year through 2020 for a water quality and shore restoration program. Zeldin plans to reintroduce the bill during this congressional session.

Setauket Harbor Task Force Trustee George Hoffman voiced support for Zeldin and his call for funding to protect local waters.

“With Congressman Zeldin’s strong advocacy and leadership, the Long Island Sound Study, a consortium of federal, state and environmental organizations has turned the corner on cleaning up the water in LI Sound and its harbors and bays,” he said. “Federal funding is critical to survival of this important and productive estuary.”

Southold Town Supervisor Scott Russell spoke briefly in response to Zeldin’s longtime presence in the area.

“The people of the East End and people of the first [district] have made it clear time and time again that the environment is a top priority and the congressman has been a zealous advocate on behalf of us, on behalf of the environment, and on behalf of our natural

resources,” Russell said. “Time and time again, he’s disproved the myth that Republicans aren’t friends of the environment ... Republicans are and he is.”

Councilman Bob Ghosio took to the podium to speak about the importance of the proposed funding.

“Talking about nitrogen in the bays and creeks and knowing the Long Island Sound and estuaries [here], particularly in Southold are what drives our economy, our tourism, our jobs and our recreation, just tells me how important this is,” Ghosio said. “Getting the funds to keep this area healthy for the future for my kids, my grandkids and generations thereafter is very important to us.”

When asked by a resident what he thinks of — Lee Zeldin some of his Republican colleagues advancing toward eliminating EPA entirely, Zeldin reminded those in attendance he voted against a 17 percent cut to the EPA last year.

“There are 535 members of Congress, all with very different ideologies and backgrounds and you get a whole lot of diversity on these issues and so I have a lot of colleagues who would support completely eliminating the EPA altogether,” Zeldin said. “But again, I voted against the 17 percent cut so to ask me how I feel about a 100 percent cut, there’s some precedent in it.”

‘I’m calling on my colleagues to make sure these programs are fully supported and funded, and certainly not eliminated.’

PeoPle Student’s volunteerism recognized

A timeline of events during WWII created by students hangs in the hallway at Eastern Suffolk BOCES.

Students create timeline to learn about WWII Eighth grade students at the Eastern Suffolk BOCES Jefferson Academic Center located in Port Jefferson constructed a timeline outside their classroom illustrating the key events that occurred during World War II, otherwise known as “The Big One.” The students were assigned to research and collect data about people and events related to World War II for a unit lesson in social studies.

“They collected newspaper headlines from 1930 to 1945,

d

photos, maps, political ads, and created a visual account that caused both students and staff in the building to stop and learn,” said special education teacher Christopher Schwabe.

The students collected so much information that the timeline spans the entire hallway outside Schwabe’s classroom.

“There are important reasons for students to understand and learn about World War II,” Schwabe said. “The lessons are

many but for the United States it fostered changes like putting an end to the Great Depression.

WWII saw the introduction of radar, the cruise missile, and technology that affected social and political changes. It is a pivotal period of the 20th Century.”

The academic program at the Jefferson Academic Center is available to special education and non-classified “at risk” students who require an alternate approach to learning.

Earl L. Vandermeulen High School senior Eve Milusich has earned the President’s Volunteer Service Award for dedicating 320 hours of volunteer service to the Save-a-Pet Animal Shelter in Port Jefferson Station.

Milusich completed the required volunteer hours over the course of three years.

During that time, she helped clean out the cat area and train other volunteers.

“It’s important to volunteer to engage in the community and help others,” she said.

In addition to volunteering her time, Milusich is a member of her school’s Leo Club, president of the Interact Club, vice

“I feel great knowing that even though we didn’t win, we still will go down in history at our high school,” said Lewis, who knocked down a game-high 23 points. “Basketball has been such a big part of my life for as long as I can remember, and just playing with these girls and getting this far in the playoffs is the best way I could have imagined ending my high school career.”

Lewis, who first started on the team as a seventh-grader, was part of three losing season before the Royals started experiencing success.

“Playing on the team since seventh grade has been such a positive influence in my life, and a shaping one, too,” she said. “Basketball means so much to me and playing for Port Jeff was nothing short of a perfect experience, especially my senior season.”

Brown reflected on her time with her teammates.

Senior Gillian Kenah is a threat on the boards, Brown said, always below the basket to “clean up the trash,” grab rebounds and score putbacks. Brown said Scannell’s bubbly spirit and positive attitude puts a smile on everyone on the team. The All-Tournament basketball selectee and recipient of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association’s Sportsmanship Award has a strong shot from all over the court.

Colucci, an All-Long Island and All-State soccer player who was named Suffolk County Player of the Year is quick on her feet, with a determination to win that, according to Brown, gets the girls fired up.

“She’s a game changer,” Brown said.

Lewis, as one of the only starters who focuses solely on basketball, has a great sense of the game.

“She is truly an amazing basketball player,” Brown said. “From CYO to senior year, she’s a talent. I could always count on her to get things done.”

The many multisport athletes on the team only enhanced its winning attitude, with Co-

lucci and Scannell bringing the soccer team’s state-championship mentality to the court the last two seasons. Brown, a field hockey standout, further added to the team’s athleticism.

The Royals have not only made an impression on the district, but also left newcomers like athletic director Danielle Turner in awe.

“I have been involved with countless teams in my career as a player, coach and observer; I can’t remember a team that I am more proud of,” she said. “Right before our eyes, these girls have changed basketball in Port Jefferson. Not only from an athletic standpoint, but from a cultural perspective. Their unwavering commitment to each other, their mental toughness and their maturity were evident throughout the season, and especially throughout their playoff run. It’s something that will be talked about for years to come.”

Brown hopes making history will inspire future teams to come.

“I’ve never been part of a championship team, so I’m honored to be a part of it with this group of girls,” she said. “This has been an incredible experience and I’m so proud of what this team has done over the past five months. I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I’m also excited for the younger girls. It gives them motivation to go get it next year.”

North Shore residents work to celebrate, educate and empower women

By Victoria Espinoza victoria@tbrnewspapers.com Empowering a generation of girls and young women will require the efforts of society as a whole, but two Huntington residents have taken on a leadership role in the endeavor.

Cami Gallagher and Emma Brandt are the co-founders of A Mighty Lass, an organization that provides tools and strategies to promote confidence, compassion and independence for females of all ages. A Mighty Lass holds educational events and programs across Long Island to help promote a culture that celebrates individuality, bravery, strength and kindness.

The duo first started developing their mission when Gallagher was teaching in Old Brookville in 2009. She said she noticed girls needed more education for the issues they deal with outside of the normal school curriculum and was able to lace that together with one of her own passions — running.

“As an educator I saw it in the classroom, and I saw it with my daughter, these girls were putting so much pressure on themselves,” she said in a phone interview.

“Me and a couple of my colleagues decided to start a running program with an empowerment, classroom piece to it.”

Gallagher said the first year they had 15 girls in the program, and talked about body image, nutrition and dealing with tough relationships.

“I struggled as a young girl with body images, that drive for perfection and competing with other girls,” she said.

The following year the program doubled in size, and soon enough Gallagher called on a friend to help.

“We set up a girl’s forum to discuss what was going on in their lives and how to support each other,” Brandt said in a phone interview. “Every minute of every day we think about how we can expand this to more people.”

The pair has expanded their initiative since then. They created “A Mighty

HEALTH CARE Continued from page A4 coverage for people with preexisting conditions, weighed in on the Republican plan in an emailed statement through spokeswoman Jennifer DiSiena.

DiSiena reiterated Zeldin’s stance on kids remaining on parents plans and coverage for individuals with preexisting conditions, though she added he believes a smooth transition from the ACA to the new plan is the most important thing.

“Obamacare has resulted in higher premiums, higher deductibles, lost doctors and canceled policies, among many other challenges,” she said. “Deductibles are so high, many people now feel like they don’t even have insurance anymore. One-third of the counties in our country only have one option left under the exchange. That’s not choice.

That’s a monopoly.”

DiSiena also sought to dispel what she called misconceptions being perpetuated about the new bill and what the policy might

Box,” a monthly subsription delivery filled with products, motivational messages and confidence building activities for women and girls.. Each month’s box has a different theme, like planning and achieving dreams, self-empowerment and more. Activities include a kindness journal, where the girls are encouraged to document every kind act they see, and a pin project, where each girl is given a pin with the portrait of a famous female leader who they must research and learn

more about. Gallagher’s daughter has also helped with the boxes — suggesting each girl starts out with a charm bracelet and each month the box comes with a new charm.

“That was all her idea — it was so creative and fun,” Gallagher said proudly of her daughter. “We’ve gotten such great feedback on the charms and she’s very proud of that.”

A Mighty Lass holds educational events throughout the year. Two week-

ends ago they held their flagship event, “Mpower,” an all-day conference for both girls and moms.

“This event is meant to get girls inspired and motivated, and teach them new strategies to deal with problems in their lives,” Brandt said. But it’s meant to help mothers out.

“There’s no handbook on motherhood — especially for social media,” Brandt said. “We have no idea about this world.”

The programs for mothers that day included a course on understanding social media, improving communication with your daughter and understanding and treating their anxieties.

“Before we started this I would turn to friends and talk to them about their experiences,” Gallagher said. “I need this education just as much as the attendees at our events.”

For the girls at Mpower, workshops included improving public speaking, reflecting on perfection, improving selfesteem and maintaining a healthy body.

Programs span different age groups, and the team said as they continue to grow they hope to expand their teachings to include workshops for young women who are starting to make the transition into the professional world.

“It means everything to be able to be a leader in this arena,” Brandt said. “It’s a dream come true.”

do to people’s coverage. She said no one will be kicked off Medicaid under the new bill, premiums might rise in the short term but are expected to be 10 percent lower by 2026 than their current levels, and the claim by the Congressional Budget Office that 24 million Americans covered under Obamacare would lose coverage can be attributed to people who were forced to purchase health care opting to go without.

DiSiena added Zeldin is generally supportive of the bill as written but intends to monitor proposed amendments.

U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) was far less supportive during an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” March 14.

“We have to continue to point out that 24 million people are going to be kicked off, that their premiums are going to go up, that there’s a transfer of cutting taxes on the wealthiest Americans, and raising premiums on senior citizens and others,” he said in the interview. “This is really a life and death thing.”

Suozzi’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Kevin Dahill, president and CEO of Suburban Hospital Alliance, an organization that represents the advocacy interests of Long Island health systems including St. Catherine of Siena in Smithtown and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, issued a statement regarding the House bill March 13.

“The House bill neither truly repeals nor meaningfully replaces the Affordable Care Act,” Dahill said. “This is bad news for New York. … We cannot support this legislation in its current form.”

Chief Medical Officer at Huntington Hospital Michael Grosso said in an email his facility will continue to hold itself to the highest standards regardless of the federal health care law.

“That said, we must bear in mind as an informed citizenry that when effective, preventive health care is delayed or denied, society pays the price several times over,” Grosso said.

The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the bill today, March 23. House Republicans introduced several amendments to the original legislation earlier this week.

Health care reform was a major staple of president Donald trump’s campaign, but bipartisan pushback may make it easier said than done.

OpiniOn Editorial

Letters to the editor

Village planning board chairman responds to concerns

Stock photo

Don’t sit out of the health care discussion President Donald Trump (R) is making the rounds in an effort to sell the American Health Care Act to fellow Republican leaders to ensure the bill eventually gets signed into law.

Millions of Americans have been waiting with bated breath for a new health care plan to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, otherwise known as Obamacare. Once Majority House Speaker Paul Ryan (R) finally unveiled the AHCA last month, analysis and reports on the effects of the plan have been coming from every direction, some positive and some negative.

This week our editorial staff focused on comparing tax credits residents would receive in the near future under both Obamacare and AHCA. Tax credits are an amount a taxpayer can reduce in federal income tax they owe.

It’s clear when comparing this information that many citizens stand to lose a substantial amount in tax credits compared to what they had with Obamacare, if the proposed bill becomes a law, though other residents would stand to gain more money back.

We encourage our readers to check out informational websites like the Kaiser Family Foundation, which has created a map to help show residents how much in tax credits they would lose or gain depending on their age and income if AHCA is passed in Congress, as well as read a deep analysis of the proposed bill, and how it would affect people across the U.S. With something as important as health care, it’s vital to understand what might change with your coverage before Congress votes.

The House is scheduled to vote on the AHCA today, March 23. One of the few powers you have as a citizen is to voice your support or concern with policy changes to local representatives, but that power becomes useless if you wait too long.

Letters … We welcome your letters. They should be no longer

than 400 words and may be edited for length, libel, style and good taste.

We do not publish anonymous letters. Please include a phone number and address for confirmation. Email letters to alex@tbrnewspapers.com or mail them to The Port Times Record, P.O. Box 707, Setauket, NY 11733.

I am writing in response to letters from Shirley Leonard (“The Shipyard building is too large”) and Al Cossari (“Does new apartment building comply with code?”) regarding the Shipyard apartment building, currently under construction on West Broadway, which ran in the March 9 issue of The Port Times Record.

Ms. Leonard inquired whether “something better looking and in keeping with this old village” could have been built, and noted the building didn’t appear to be set back from the street. Mr. Cossari questioned whether the height of the building complies with the village code.

Simply put, the building complies with the village code and is being constructed “as of right,” meaning no variances were required, including height and setback. As a result, the planning board’s task, with the assistance of the village’s department of building and planning, was limited to reviewing the application’s environmental assessment and its conclusion of no significant environmental impacts, and its site plan for compliance with code requirements.

File photo by Alex Petroski

The Shipyard apartment building in Port Jeff has been the subject of community discussion.

Because the building is not a corner property (its property wraps around the Roe House at the corner of West Broadway and Barnum Avenue), the code stipulates the building height is to be measured from the finished ground elevation along its façade.

The building complies with that requirement. Because it is a corner property, the proposed Overbay building just to the east was required to meet a 35-foot height

requirement, measured from the curb level with the highest elevation that currently exists along the property’s street frontage.

Judging a partially constructed building based on visual appearance is premature. The view of the building’s frontage along West Broadway will include a sloped berm, which will cover most of the concrete wall that surrounds its parking garage.

In addition, significant landscaping will be planted on the berm.

In order to build the berm, the building’s façade was set back from West Broadway, providing a 40-foot setback. The code allows a building to be placed on the property line, so no front setback distance is required. Based on the detailed color renderings approved for the building, rather than looking like a shipyard, the building will be an aesthetically pleasing and complementary addition to the view from West Broadway and the harbor, replacing an abandoned motel, which had fallen into disrepair.

Raymond DiBiase Chairman, Port Jefferson Village Planning Board

What I’d like to hear from Congressman Zeldin Congressman Zeldin, from your Feb. 18 Facebook post: “Liberal obstructionists are disrupting, resisting and destructing [sic] public events all around America. Our neighbors want to actually engage in substantive, productive, constructive dialogue and the liberal obstructionists are spitting on them with their shameful shows for their own political theater. They think they are embarrassing other people, but they are really just embarrassing themselves. Just because it’s your right, doesn’t make you right. I will work with absolutely anyone to move our country forward however possible, but I don’t, can’t and won’t associate myself with people who have taken an oath of disrespect to get ahead in life. If you want to be heard, the tactic of mutual respect works wonders. Peace and love. Be Cool and Don’t Be a Liberal Obstructionist.”

Perhaps at the Republican Party retreat at the beginning of this session of Congress, you and others were advised by party leadership to use the term “liberal obstructionists” when things got tough with your

constituents? Well, now is the time for you to begin to think for yourself. Supporting a verifiable liar in the White House as long as he signs your bills and advances your party’s agenda diminishes you and makes you complicit in his lies.

Here’s what I desperately want to hear from you: •“Illegal immigrants are human beings and deserve as much dignity as my children. They will be afforded a pathway to citizenship much as immigrants from Europe would have enjoyed.”

•“I will support increasing the maximum Social Security wage ceiling so that the wealthy pay their fair share. This will allow full funding of the program for many decades to come.”

•“Medicare is critical to our aging population. Changing it to a voucher system will limit the quality of health care for those who cannot afford to make up the difference between the voucher and the actual cost of care. I will vote to keep Medicare in its current form.”

•“Health care is a right, not the privilege of those who can afford it. I will seek to modify

our current system of medical insurance so that all may enjoy its benefits, even if this means Medicare for all Americans.”

•“I will open my shuttered heart to the LGBT community, and I realize that transgender people are not a threat to my daughters, and I sincerely regret the pain I have caused these citizens.”

•“This Earth is the only planet we have. To sacrifice its health for the sake of profit denies the goodness inherent in its creation.

I will encourage regulation of industries that damage our planet, and I will support new technologies that promote its health.”

•“I will be a loyal Republican, but I will not be silent when the president lies; refuses to release his tax returns; and bases policy decisions on the advice of Steve Bannon, Steve Miller or Fox News.

I will speak truth to power.”

So I am happy to be a liberal obstructionist, Mr. Zeldin. I stand for inclusion in the American Dream and the preservation of the planet that sustains our species. Where do you stand?

OpiniOn Making March Madness fame count

L

ong ago, I wrote a column about vomit and education. No, I didn’t suggest that teachers should encourage vomiting or that education gets better amid the smell of vomit.

Sorry to those of you who are gagging even at these words.

No, for those without an encyclopedic knowledge of my columns — OK, all of you — I wrote that my son, who was only 5 at the time, often came home with exactly the same answer to the question about what happened in school: “Nothing.” Then, one day, a classmate was in the middle of saying

By Daniel Dunaief something when she vomited.

Suddenly, my son became the bard of vomit, describing in technicolor detail

D. None of the above

everything that poured out of his classmate’s mouth. It didn’t stop there.

He recounted each of the steps the teacher took to clean it up and resettle the room and then, to my shock, he shared a few things about the next lessons she tried to teach.

While I’m not suggesting the value of vomit in the classroom, I did recognize something unusual that occurs during these high-energy moments: People pay more attention.

What triggered — bad word choice here, I know — my thinking about this observation is March Madness. The NCAA basketball tournament has 64 teams entering this bracket, all of whom have fans, family and friends hoping their journey can go just one more game all the way to the championship.

Now, these games can be — and often are — ridiculously exciting, with young players pushing themselves to the limits of their speed, endurance and coordination to make impossible game-winning shots that carry their fans to the next level of ecstasy.

The winners stand in front of a microphone at the end of the game

and recount what we’ve just witnessed, taking us through the moment when they got the ball at the top of the key, faked left, passed it to a teammate, and then crashed the boards just in time to grab the rebound and slam home the game-winner.

We know what we saw and rarely, if ever, do these interviews produce much more than, “Yeah, it was great,” or “I’m so excited, I just don’t have words for this.”

So, this is where the vomit analogy comes in. Some of these players likely contribute to causes, believe in community service, have something to say about what they’ve overcome, can share the best advice they’ve ever gotten or remember a moment that still matters.

I realize it’s asking a lot of the reporters and the athletic superstar whose primary concern may be going to the bathroom, getting his uniform clean for the next game or getting to the bus on time to go to the airport.

Still, these moments, with the players, coaches and even fans could include some kind of life lesson. Players

don’t need to preach, nor do they have to demand that we participate in their favorite charity. However, they can use the spotlight to inspire and encourage us with their incredible achievements off the field, their commitments to family or their contributions to a church group.

Now, I realize Olympic coverage often includes features about people who are dedicating their efforts to a relative or who volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters. And, I appreciate how sports purists may find the effort an intrusion in the cliché-riddled wide world of sports, where the players are just happy to help the team and they take everything one game at a time and they try not to do too much.

But some day, that athlete will no longer have the microphone and some day, the world will no longer be watching. While we’re inspired and moved by their magnificence on the court, how about if, to the extent possible, they also encourage us to follow their lead in other arenas. An energized audience may see this as a chance to turn a good game into a great achievement.

Getting passionate with politics

W

hether you voted for Donald Trump or not, you have to agree that he is responsible for a positive outcome from his campaign and his election. He has animated the population he serves. It is no secret that Americans have, as a country, been largely apolitical. When I have traveled to other countries, especially when I first began, I have consistently been impressed by and even envied how much politics and current events were a part of the

By Leah S. Dunaief daily conversations among the people I was visiting. But that was not so in the United States. Throughout my academic life, in high school and college, there were almost no political clubs, and those that did exist had few members who

were regarded as a little odd for their political passions. I have not found many people who were deeply interested in our government, its processes, its politics and its politicians. Indeed, spot person-in-the-street interviews regularly revealed that most respondents did not know who held which office beyond that of the president and perhaps the governor.

Not any longer.

Imagine my surprise when the 4-year-old son of a friend came home from nursery school and announced his opinion of President Trump, complete with reasons. A 13-year-old I met knows the name of the Environmental Protection Agency chief (Scott Pruitt), and a 15-year-old announced that she wants to register as a Republican as soon as her age allows so she can help decide who the party’s next candidate might be. These are not just youngsters parroting what their parents are saying. In some cases the youngsters disagree with their parents. How do they know to do that? They are now surrounded by news, whether on television, with blasts on their iPhones,

from talking to each other in class or hearing many adults offering different opinions. Wherever all of us go, to a doctor’s appointment, to a casual restaurant, in and out of stores (with the exception so far of supermarkets), there is a television turned on and we hear the latest comments from both parties, outrageous or not. The media are having a field day reporting quotables. And the public is deluged.

Kids, remember, are part of the public.

How long can you be at a dinner party before the talk turns to politics?

When you wake up in the morning and switch on the radio or the TV, don’t you expect to hear the latest quote from Donald Trump? The president has managed to dominate world news so provocatively that his is the most well-known name on the planet.

I think what has happened is a good thing. An informed and engaged public is necessary for a democracy to exist. Our Founding Fathers said as much. The United States has had a dismal voting record at the polls during election season for scores of years. Less than half of those eligible

actually vote here compared with other, newer democracies where voters may risk their lives in order to cast their votes. We, living in a nation that is the symbol of democracy, are too complacent to be bothered voting or too cynical to think that our vote might matter.

So I am delighted to see young people talking about politics and asking how government works. And we in the news business are validated by the sight of grown-ups arguing government policies on street corners. Let’s get everybody involved, even if it takes incredible, unprecedented comments and actions to stir us up. I came of age in the Vietnam era when marches and, yes, riots in opposition to government policy toppled a sitting president and eventually stopped the war.

The good news is we don’t have to riot. We don’t even have to march. All we have to do is go to the polls and vote. And if we don’t get what We the People want, we do it again the next time until we get the public servants we wish to represent us. An informed and engaged populace is a beautiful thing.
