Education aid numbers finally released By erika karp

Just a few hours before the New York State Legislature approved the state’s 2015-16 budget, which includes a number of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s education reform initiatives, school districts across the North Shore finally got to know how much aid they’ll receive next year. The state aid runs showed districts getting more than they expected, since many budgeted around a 1.7 percent increase. Earlier this year, Cuomo (D) announced state aid would only increase by $377 million — a 1.7 percent increase from this year — if his state education reforms didn’t pass the Legislature. And while not all of the initiatives passed, a few did, so the aid increased by about $1.4 billion statewide. “This is a plan that keeps

spending under 2 percent, reforms New York’s education bureaucracy, implements the nation’s strongest and most comprehensive disclosure laws for public officials and makes the largest investment in the upstate economy in a generation,” Cuomo said in a statement. But not all were convinced the education initiatives would reform public schools. The Education Transformation Act of 2015 amends the teacher evaluation system, changes the time to gain tenure from three to four years and creates two designations for failing schools. The hot-button item, though, was the teacher evaluation system. Under the act, the State Education Department will develop a new teacher evaluation system by June 30, which school districts will then have to locally

negotiate and enact by Nov. 15 in order to receive their allotted aid. The system also includes a component based on students’ performance on the state’s common core-aligned tests. The evaluation system was last changed in 2013. In a phone interview on Wednesday morning, Middle Country Central School Dis-

trict Superintendent Roberta Gerold, who is also president of the Suffolk County School Superintendents Association, said she believed the change to the system was misguided, and wished elected officials would have learned that “rushing into a system that doesn’t have details attached” — as was the EDUCATION continued on page A6

Bellone focuses on Connect Long Island, water quality County executive delivers annual State of the County By Julianne CuBa

At his fourth State of the County address, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone began by ensuring the county government and public that he has never been more optimistic about the current state of the region and its future. At the William H. Rogers Legislative Building in Hauppauge on March 26, Bellone (D) also took time commending the county legislature for successfully and efficiently reducing government by more than 10 percent — an initiative that will save Suffolk County taxpayers more than $100 million a year. The county executive announced that when he took office three years ago, the unemployment rate for Suffolk County stood at 8.2 percent. As of the end of 2014, it stands at 4.2 percent. However, Bellone continued, “I’m not here to talk about where we are today. I am much more interested in talking about where we are going and what the future could look like.” In order to combat what Bellone said he considers the fundamental issue of our time — a two-decade trend of losing young, qualified and educated people to other regions of the county — he pointed

to the county’s economic development plan, Connect Long Island. “We cannot reach our economic potential, we cannot build a more prosperous future, if we are not a region that can attract and retain the young, highknowledge, high-skill workers necessary to build an innovative economy,” he said. Connect Long Island will make progress on the five crucial issues that are driving young people away, which, according to Bellone include high costs, lack of transportation options, lack of quality affordable rental housing, lack of affordable housing in desired environments and a lack of high-paying jobs. “We build walkable, transit-oriented downtowns that have strong, public transportation links to one another and to universities, research centers, job centers and parks and open space. Effectively, what Connect LI will do is to build a quality of life ecosystem that will be attractive to young people,” he said. But, unfortunately, Bellone said, the lack of sewage systems in many of Suffolk County’s downtown areas — which are critical parts of the region’s future — is limiting the opportunity for growth. Suffolk County’s sewage problem impacts not only the regions economic de-

The water quality issue was one of the three major problems on which Bellone focused. “We have 360,000 unsewered homes in Suffolk County — that is more than the entire state of New Jersey. Those 360,000 homes represent, potentially, 360,000 customers. So I’m happy to

TBR wins 12 press awards By PhiL CoRso

Times Beacon Record Newspapers’ six community papers nabbed 12 awards in the 2014 New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest and were celebrated over the weekend at the group’s annual spring conference. Elana Glowatz, who works as editor for The Port Times Record, won second place for best feature story in her division, on what the contest judge called a “nice feature piece” on a person and people about whom the public might not think or know. “These are the kinds of stories that interest and inform readers,” the judge said. David Leaman, art director for all six Times Beacon Record papers, received first place for the best special section cover in his division under The Village Times Herald flag. The judge’s remarks called his use of photography beautiful with vibrant colors that say it all. For best picture story, freelance photographer Bob Savage earned second place in his division under The Port Times Record newspaper. “The photos in this piece are wonderful,” the judge’s remarks read. “The best one was the dog with the duck coming out of the water that headlined the piece. I like pics that seem made for text inside. Great job utilizing the space.” The Port Times Record also won second

place for cartoonist Anthony Freda’s editorial cartoons and second place in overall editorials, which were referred to as concise, local and clearly written. Sports editor Desirée Keegan and freelancer Bill Landon won third place for best sports feature under Managing Editor Erika Karp’s The Village Beacon Record flag for a story written after a tragic accident took the life of a heralded community athlete. Judges called their work an “inspiring story about a team who moved past the loss of a teammate, which might destroy some programs. Instead, they use his death as fuel to carry on. Touching.” The Village Beacon Record also featured Landon’s third-place award for sports action photo. The Village Times Herald, which covers the Three Village community and is edited by Editor Phil Corso, earned third place in its division for the Past Presidents award. Judges called the publication a “nice newspaper” with lots of interesting, well-written stories. “We imagine subscribers love their paper,” the judges said. Closing out the editorial awards, editor of The Times of Northport and East Northport, Rohma Abbas, collected an honorable mention under the coverage in education category with stories from freelance writer Susan Risoli.

They have overcome financial shortfalls, conflict, and lack of security. They have conquered cultural barriers and lack of political will. Rotarians have shown the world what can be achieved when civil society and the United Nations partner together.” - June 2008, Ban Ki-Moon, U.N. Secretary-General As a result of the partnership of the World Health Organization, Rotary International, U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and UNICEF, polio cases have dropped by 99 percent since 1988 and the world stands on the threshold of eradicating the disease. Rotary members have given more than US $650 million and countless hands-on volunteer hours to this critical effort.

case in 2013 — doesn’t work. Some Assembly members said they shared Gerold’s concerns. Assemblyman Steve Englebright (DSetauket) voted against the Education, Labor and Family Assistance State budget bill, which Cuomo issued on Tuesday with a message of necessity. When asked about the reforms, Englebright immediately interjected, “they are not reforms,” he said. He said he voted against the measure because it was unclear as to how it would impact students. “[It] doesn’t mean we can’t make improvements, but those improvements need to make sense,” he said. Englebright strayed from his fellow party members by voting against the bill, which he said was a difficult decision. “The people who sent me [to Albany] are the ones who I finally had to

vote in accordance with,” he said. Assemblyman Andy Raia (R-East Northport) said in a press release the education measure “takes away local control and is downright insulting to principals, administrators and teachers.” While most North Shore Assembly officials voted down the education component, Mike Fitzpatrick (R- St. James) voted yes. In a phone interview Wednesday, Fitzpatrick said he stood by his decision. He said he believed the reforms would bring more accountability to the system, which needed to be reformed. Fitzpatrick also said the amendments take away some of the New York State United Teachers union’s power. The union referred to the changes as a disgrace and the evaluation system as a sham. “Good teachers, and they know who they are, they don’t have anything to worry about,” Fitzpatrick said. Rohma Abbas contributed reporting.

Our People of the Year On Sunday, March 29, Times Beacon Record Newspapers hosted the 39th annual People of the Year reception to honor men and women for their contributions to the Brookhaven community. Sponsored by Stony Brook University and the Three Village Inn, the event honored the many in the northern Brookhaven community who constantly put others before themselves. Publisher Leah Dunaief presented each person of the year with a framed certificate, courtesy of the Setauket Frame Shop, recognizing them in person after articles appeared in the December 25, 2014, Brookhaven editions of The Village Times Herald, The Times of Middle Country, The Port Times Record and The Village Beacon Record.

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone shakes hands with Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco.

next generation of septic technology, with the goal of providing better, more cost-efficient options for Suffolk County residents,” Bellone said. Bellone announced that with the help of Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), the county’s state and federal partners, and U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), he was able to secure $383 million for one of the largest investments in clean water infrastructure in more than 40 years — the Reclaim Our Water Initiative.

Legislator and Minority Leader Kevin McCaffrey (R) said that he agrees 100 percent with everything the county executive said in regard to economic development and improving drinking water. However, he added that the county’s debt must be cut and the legislature needs increased oversight. “We must ask ourselves if we are going to control the irresponsible and reckless spending and borrowing, we must become more focused on the county’s ever-increasing debt,” McCaffrey said. “We must ask ourselves if we want to throw debt on the backs of our children and our grandchildren. It’s time to cut up the credit cards and learn how to live within our means.”

Riverhead Blue Waves flood Middle Country Boys’ Lacrosse

Riverhead . . . . . 12 Middle Country . .4 By Desirée Keegan

After starting off last season with a 10-0 losing streak, the Middle Country boys’ lacrosse

team has already turned its game around this year, despite having it’s 2-0 record snapped by Riverhead at home, 12-4, Monday. The Mad Dogs first edged out Commack at home, 10-9, on March 25, and followed it up with a 10-2 victory at PatchogueMedford on March 27, to go undefeated at 2-0 in League I. In Monday’s nonleague game

while Durkin believes the rotation, sliding and communication needs to be stronger on defense if the Mad Dogs want to go far this season. The boys believe they can improve on last season’s 2-14 overall and 2-12 league records though, and see playoffs as a possibility. “We’ve been coming together,” Durkin said. “We’ve been playing together since we were 5 years old so we all know each other and we know where each other is going to be [on the field].” Thomas added: “We’re a good, close-knit group. The goal is to make the playoffs, and that’s what we’re looking to do this year.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

The customer is not always right

As a community newspaper, we value reader feedback and welcome any and all letters to the editor on the stories that compel our neighbors. But we received one letter in particular this past week that we felt warranted a larger editorial response. Last week, we ran a story on Suffolk County Legislator Kara hahn (D-Setauket) spearheading a new law that aims to more aggressively address domestic violence by empowering victims —connecting them with agencies and offering up a self-assessment questionnaire — and analyzing offenders. The bill was approved without a single “nay” in the Legislature, showing the county’s commitment to the issue. On Monday, we opened up an anonymous letter addressed to the publisher of this newspaper, responding to our domestic violence reporting. “Women can be opportunists,” the letter started. “If a man just pushes his girlfriend or paramour or even his wife, the next thing you know, she comes to court with a brace on her neck and bandages and a story that complains how she was pushed down a flight of stairs and strangled.” Our initial reaction to this argument was scoffs and rolling eyes. (And why is this man pushing his

partner to begin with?) While some people may have valid concerns over the consequences of tighter domestic violence laws, our anonymous reader’s remarks underscored the very same symptomatic problem, which affects both women and men, that hahn’s legislation is looking to end in Suffolk County. “No wonder guys go off the deep end and murder their so-called girlfriends. If I could not see my children, I would be mad as well. Enough to murder — possibly,” the secret letter writer said about custody battles. “Women are so thick-headed, unreasonable and vindictive, especially where money is concerned, that the greed of a woman scorned cannot be fathomed and we, the dads, husbands, boyfriends, are left out in the cold with no recourse.” The writer asked that this newspaper “do something about these issues.” That is why we chose to dedicate this week’s editorial to his letter — to do something when we are confronted with a disgusting diatribe that condones violence against a group of people. We hope the county law, still in its infancy, helps shift the train of thought of those like this reader. Thank you for the letter.

Opt out or opt in? TO ThE EDITOR: The New York State English language arts and math tests are fast approaching, and parents have a choice to make. If you have children in grades three through eight, here are some things to consider as you make your own decision about opting out or opting in: 1. The tests provide no diagnostic information to teachers, students or parents. Teachers never get to see which questions their students get right and wrong. 2. The tests don’t assess many of the things we consider very important, such as the ability to work with others cooperatively, critical thinking, creative thinking and complex problem solving. 3. high-stakes testing puts the emphasis on a single test rather than on teaching and learning from September through June. This will lead to lots of class time spent on test prep and teaching kids to be good test-takers rather than lifelong learners. 4. high-stakes testing narrows the curriculum. This is a big one. Subjects other than English and math will be marginalized and/or eliminated. This is already beginning to happen in New York State.

5. high-stakes testing adds unhealthy stress to young children. There is plenty of stress waiting for our kids as they get older. Why stress them unnecessarily at 8 years old? 6. We’re testing kids on a year’s worth of curriculum in April because the state needs so much time to correct the exams and generate its data. I want my children to be engaged in meaningful learning activities in March and April, not preparing for and taking a state test. It’s possible to have great test scores and a lousy education, and that is what will happen if we continue to emphasize these state tests over authentic, meaningful teaching and learning. The Common Core Learning Standards themselves are not the problem. The problem is high-stakes, high-stress, overtesting, and we need to separate the two. Most teachers have embraced the standards. Let them test the kids as they see fit. In the long run, and if we look at the big picture, enough students opting out will force Albany’s hand and return educational decisions to the village, the district, the school, the teacher and your child.

A call to create a new holiday

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

have a modest proposal: How about a new holiday, either in each school or in each town, every year? I’m not talking about taking any more time off from school or interrupting the flow of work, especially in a year when snow, ice and recordbreaking blizzards that never happened upset our busy schedules. I’d like to suggest, rather, that we celebrate, recognize or

mark the occasion for a different moment every year. We could create such a holiday some day in June, when classes are winding down and we’re just about to kick off the start of the summer. Every year, Americans stop to recognize 9/11 in September. It’s a somber occasion and a chance to reflect on who we lost and what might have been. It’s also an opportunity to recognize the unimaginable bravery of those who did whatever they could to save strangers, friends and fellow New Yorkers and Americans. Perhaps, one year, we might also recognize all the medical miracles that have made lives possible. I’ll never forget the day a colleague of mine at Bloomberg picked up the phone and his face went white. Seemingly unable to verbalize the terror in his mind, he grabbed his jacket and sprinted out of the room. His sudden and panicked motion created considerable concern from his colleagues. As he told our editor the next

morning in a barely audible voicemail, his wife went into premature labor and, less than an hour later, delivered a baby girl who weighed close to 1 pound. For weeks, whenever he came to work, he seemed to look past us, searching for any kind of help, spiritual or otherwise, for his daughter’s fragile life. After several months, she grew enough to improve her prospects for survival. We knew things were getting better because we heard the welcome return of laughter from our friend. We also saw him exhale for the first time in months, loosening and relaxing the taut muscles in his chest. Perhaps, one school might find the names of the doctors and scientists who improved the treatment and care for premature babies who had considerably poorer prognoses 50 or 100 years earlier. We might also pause to recognize those working in fertility clinics or in reproductive research, who have made it possible

for couples having trouble conceiving to celebrate the marvel of their child. Maybe we could celebrate the considerable achievements of scientists who have helped prevent an HIV diagnosis from becoming a death sentence. When Magic Johnson revealed that he was HIV positive, many of us probably never imagined we’d see him cheering for his Michigan State basketball team to make it to the Final Four in 2015. It is through remarkable medical breakthroughs, incredible dedication and a desire to defeat diseases like cancer and AIDS that we can extend the quantity and quality of our lives and the lives of our friends and family. Some of these achievements and lifesaving discoveries wouldn’t have been possible without the insights and inspiration of scientists, researchers and doctors on Long Island. Perhaps we can take a mo-

Perhaps we could use a day to recognize those who truly fight for us.

ment to appreciate and acknowledge the guiding hand and valuable contributions religious leaders make to us. Bringing us together and encouraging us through our battles elevates us when we’re down. We see headlines about people who take lives and make poor decisions. Perhaps, we could use a day to recognize those who, to borrow a phrase from just about every political ad, truly “fight for us.” And maybe, by acknowledging these achievements, we inspire the next generation.

A Happy Easter memory from New Zealand

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

lmost 20 years ago this Easter, I left the comforts of home to go on a tour 10,000 miles away. The adventure was originally billed as a trip to Australia and New Zealand, but the tour company representative called to tell me about a month in advance that New Zealand was going to be eliminated from the itinerary to shorten the trip — and we would just visit Australia. I was terrifically disappointed and made

my feelings known. After all, how often did I plan to be in the neighborhood? As long as I was making that long flight, I was intent on touring both countries. Since I knew the tour owner personally, I carried on about my disappointment long and hard. Finally he called with a proposal. While the official visit was now only to Australia, there was a small group of six people, whom he knew well, who were indeed going on their own tour of New Zealand. One of their group had been stationed there during World War II and had put together a pre-tour visit. At my friend’s suggestion, they were now prepared to include me. Did I want to go with them? “Would I be like a seventh wheel,” I asked. “No,” he assured me, “they would really like you to join them.” “Did they all know each other beforehand,” I worried. “Yes, the three couples were quite good friends,” he explained, “and lots of fun.” I worried more. “Here, take their phone numbers and call them —

you can decide for yourself,” he said as he ended the call, glad to have finally solved the problem. I did call one of them, a hasty call because she was running between two appointments, but she did encourage me to come. They were leaving from three different corners of the United States: Seattle, Los Angeles and Sarasota. So I agreed to meet them on the South Island in Christchurch, the second largest city of New Zealand, in a specific hotel lobby on Easter Sunday at 7 a.m. I can only marvel today at my daring. The drama intensified. Before I got on the plane to begin my trip, I came down with a nasty cold. By the time I got to Auckland, New Zealand’s gateway city on the North Island at 6 a.m. I had a temperature of 102 degrees and felt rotten. Fortunately I had included a Z-Pak antibiotic in my luggage, and I swallowed down the first dose on the bus to the motel. That bus ride went on forever, seeming to stop at every corner. When I finally arrived at the motel and got

into bed, one thought occurred to me: Everyone in the world who cared about me enough to take care of me was on the other side of the world. With that, I drifted off to sleep. When I awoke in the afternoon and wandered outside, looking for a place to eat, I was surprised to find all stores tightly closed and the streets almost empty Finally catching up to a pedestrian, I asked why. “Everything is closed on Good Friday!” he exclaimed, looking at me as if I had just dropped down from Mars. Which indeed is how I felt. “Only the tourist shops and the movies are open today,” he added, sensing that I needed further help. I took a bus to the center of the city and chatted up the bored clerks in all the tourist shops I could find. Auckland, a clean and beautiful city on the water, felt the size of Boston. Then, when the tourist places closed, I found the city’s equivalent of Times Square and went to see “The English Patient.” There weren’t many people in the cinLEISURE EDITOR Heidi Sutton SPORTS EDITOR Desirée Keegan ASSOCIATE EDITOR Ellen Recker ONLINE EDITOR Elana Glowatz

But it was a gorgeously filmed movie, even if I didn’t understand the plot entirely, which I attributed to my illness. The next day I flew to Christchurch, a city that could have been located in rural England, and at the appointed hour on Easter morning I met my six traveling companions, who looked a little nervous too. Fortunately we hit it off, had a fabulous trip through the South Island, from glaciers to beaches, saw about 60 million sheep and have been friends ever since. It was a Happy Easter memory and I wish you one this year too.
