MP crafts budget around 1.7 % aid increase BY BARBARA DONLON

Paint Nite at the Whaling Museum

Despite neighboring school districts’ budgetary concerns, as education aid estimates for the 2015-16 school year have yet to be released, Miller Place school district administrators maintained a more positive outlook at their fi rst budget presentation on Feb. 25. At the meeting, Superintendent Marianne Higuera presented her proposed $70 million budget for next year, which increases by 1.44 percent and remains within the

district’s tax levy increase cap of 2.85 percent. “The proposed 2015-16 budget preserves all current … academic instructional and noninstructional programs,” Higuera said. “It continues to maximize faculty and staff resources.” Miller Place is crafting its budget around a 1.7 percent increase in state aid, as Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has stated aid will increase by that percent — or $377 million statewide — if the New York State Legislature doesn’t adopt his education reform package. If the Legislature does adopt

The budget ‘continues to maximize faculty and staff resources.’ — MARIANNE HIGUERA

After finishing 3-9 in League VI in the 2013-14 season, the Mount Sinai girls’ basketball team is beginning to turn heads. This season, they bounced back from an early 2-4 league record to finish 7-5 and earned a postseason appearance for the first time in five years. See the story on page A8.

it, Cuomo said he would increase aid by $1.1 billion. “State aid in this budget is the 1.7 percent that the governor has told us the district would receive, so we’re not counting on any monies that the district would receive if all of Gov. Cuomo’s reform agenda items are passed,” she said. The budget presentation touched on adding new instructional initiatives, student support services and extracurricular activities to the district. In addition, the district wants to lower class size for students with disabilities entering their junior year. New courses, such as a sports medicine and performance class and an English elective will be added as well. Allocations for an English language learners program, a Scholastic reading program at the elementary and high schools, two assistant varsity winter track coach positions and for the cheerleading team are included. District officials wouldn’t provide details on the English language learners and Scholastic programs. They said the programs would be discussed at a

later meeting. According to Higuera, the district would like to increase funds to the capital fund by an extra $50,000, bringing the total amount contributed to $150,000, and will pay a onetime fee of $32,673 for a food services soft ware program, as the district still uses pen and paper to track lunch purchases. Board of Education President Mike Unger said he was very pleased that the district is staying within the tax cap and is still maintaining all teaching positions and educational programs. “This is all due to the fiscal excellence of our district and sheds light on the collaborative relationship we share with our valued employees and partners in education,” Unger said. “This is a great budget for the students, parents, staff and taxpayers.” The district will hold two more workshops before moving to adopt the budget on March 25. The next meeting is scheduled on March 4, when instructional items will be discussed. The last meeting will take place on March 18 when noninstructional programs will be discussed.

New group looks to acquire Mount Sinai site Continuing care retirement community still in the works By Julianne CuBa

After Amsterdam Continuing Care Health System filed for bankruptcy in July 2014, the plan for a Mount Sinai retirement community on the vacant property next to The Ranches on Route 25A came to a halt. But Wartburg, an adult day care and home health care group based in Mount Vernon, plans to finish the project. At a March 2 Mount Sinai Civic Association meeting, Ryan Herchenroether, vice president of project development at Wartburg, announced that although there hasn’t been an official purchase of the land by his company, Wartburg is excited about the opportunity. In the 1990s, a lawsuit settled between the Town of Brookhaven and the Mount Sinai Civic Association mandated that a portion of the Davis Peach Farm property, which now houses The Ranches, be developed as a continuing care retirement community. The civic filed the suit after the town approved a series of zone changes in the hamlet that led to housing development. The civic argued the developments — The Ranches and Hamlet Willow Creek Golf & Country Club — had too-high densities.

In the mid-2000s, Harbor Village was supposed to be built on the property, but the project was nixed in 2008 after the economy crashed. Herchenroether said Wartburg would live within the stipulation settled. “Anything that’s in the stipulation we want to honor,” Herchenroether said. “There may be some design modifications that we’d like to look at. Of course our first conversation if we want to modify the design would be with you folks.” The CCRC will have a maximum of 326 total units, and a few other modifications are currently being discussed, including the potential for a tennis court, restaurants, an auditorium and opportunities for therapy, Herchenroether said. In 2012, Amsterdam was allocated a $7 million Health Care Efficiency and Affordability Law for New Yorkers capital grant from the state to develop the site. According to Herchenroether, the state could review the grant and pass it along to Wartburg. If the department chooses to do that, he said, it would makes things a little easier. The civic’s vice president and corresponding secretary, Brad Arrington, said the property was intended to be revenue generating.

This isn’t the first time a retirement community has almost been built on the site next to The Ranches, which remains undeveloped today. above, one of amsterdam’s facilities.

“As a civic, one of our objectives is to maintain that consistent revenue stream as much as possible to help fund the schools,” he said. Herchenroether said conversations about a future PILOT payment have yet to be discussed, but his group is open to them. A member of the civic association, whose property happens to be located adjacent of the vacant land, said she

would like Wartburg to consider sharing some of its facilities with the neighboring area. Herchenroether said Wartburg is looking at 18 to 20 months for the CCRC to be completed once ground is broken. If all goes according to plan, the facility could open in 2020. “Getting to that point is the bigger hurdle, as everybody here knows,” he said.

A beautiful landscape begins with the design.

Melinda Muzio sorts through prom dresses that will be donated or sold at a discounted price.

Rocky Point mom starts dress drive By erin DueñaS

Between two daughters who have attended either a junior prom, a senior prom or both, Melinda Muzio of Rocky Point knows that the price tag attached to prepping for the event can be pretty steep. There is hair to do, makeup to apply, and maybe new jewelry and shoes to match a dress that can easily run a few hundred dollars. “I think the bare minimum you will spend on prom is $600,” Muzio said. “It could run as high as $1,500 and I’m not over exaggerating. It’s very expensive.” Being surrounded by girls at her job as secretary at the Long Island Academy of Dance studio in Miller Place, Muzio learned that the cost for prom might have been a bigger burden than some could handle. “I knew of some girls who didn’t go and it may have been because they couldn’t afford it,” she said. “These girls were heartbroken.” To help alleviate the costs associated with the prom, Muzio is collecting dresses for two separate events, which will either donate dresses to needy girls or sell them at a PROM continued on page A6

Muzio said collecting the dresses has been time consuming but she hopes to do it again next year. Her ultimate goal is to make girls happy. “Every girl should have the opportunity to celebrate the milestone of her high school years by attending the prom with pride and in style,” she said. “Prom EZ is here to help all these girls feel like this is a magical day.”

2015 marks the 38th year Matt’s One Stop has served Sound Beach and the surrounding area. Through those years there have been many changes both to this tight-knit community and to Matt’s One Stop. Sound Beach has evolved from a primarily summer cottage community to a thriving area of year-round homes and growing businesses. The original Matt’s One Stop located on New York Ave. is the mechanical repair shop and Gulf gas station. The building has been expanded over the years to accommodate new equipment needed to properly service modern autos and trucks. The extension to the repair shop soon became inadequate and a second building across the street was purchased to house the collision portion of the business. That building has also been expanded to allow space for a modern down draft spray booth and frame straightening equipment. Owners Geri and Jay Card come from long backgrounds in the auto repair industry. Geri’s father owned shops in Oceanside and Rockville Centre. He was also an original partner in Matt’s One Stop. Jay’s father owned shops in Brooklyn. Geri and Jay attend to the business while long time Sound Beach resident Kevin Dallon manages the repair shop assisted by Brock and staffed by Cameron, James O and James B. Matt Card [the business’ namesake] manages the collision shop assisted by Jenn and Antionette in the office and Matt B., Larry, Mike, Paulie, Tyler and Chris C. in the shop. The technicians at both shops hold many ASE and I-Car certifications and are continually attending classes to stay abreast of the latest innovations in the industry, including Hybrids. The repair shop offers computerized engine diagnostics and repair, Hunter wheel alignments, NYS Emission Inspections, complete front-end and brake service and computerized wheel balancing. We also do small engine repair and service. Call and ask Kevin or Jay about our very competitive prices on all brands of tires, especially GoodYear. The collision shop has computerized color matching and Laser measured unibody frame repair. Matt’s One Stop is a direct repair shop for Allstate, Geico and Liberty Mutual insurance companies and the quality of our work is recognized by all major insurers. Although there have been many changes at Matt’s One Stop over 36years, our commitment to performing quality repairs at fair prices and our commitment to serving our customers with respect will always be our primary objectives. Matt’s One Stop offers Gulf gasoline, propane barbeque tank refills, Carco insurance photo inspections and 24 hr towing. Matt’s One Stop is open from 7AM to 6PM Monday thru Friday and 7AM to 3PM on Saturday. We are closed Sunday.

The Mount sinai girls’ basketball team, after starting League Vi play with a 2-4 record, bounced back to finish 7-5 after a five-game winning streak and make it to the postseason for the first time in five years.

Young Mustangs are making moves Girls’ BasketBall By Desirée Keegan

These girls may be young but they’re turning heads. With two sophomores, a freshman and two eighth-graders starting out on the court, the Mount Sinai girls’ basketball team fought back from a 2-4 League VI record at the start of the season to earn a playoff berth for the first time in five years. After losing to strong competitors like Miller Place and Shoreham-Wading River, the Mustangs thought their season was going to end earlier than it did. “Losing to them in the first half of the season was a tough shake,” eighth-grade guard Gabby Sartori said. “At that moment I didn’t have hope at all.” But something changed. As the season progressed, the girls began to gel and went on a five-game winning streak, starting with a 68-52 win over Miller Place on Jan. 20. “Winning against Miller Place, our team knew we had a chance,” Sartori said. “We just kept going and the mood [shifts] very quickly; our mentality changed.” The Mustangs went on to beat BayportBlue Point, Shoreham-Wading River, East Hampton and Amityville, before losing the last game of the regular season, 61-39, to John Glenn. They ended the season with a 7-5 conference mark. “It was the first time since I’ve been a coach that we beat Shoreham,” three-year

head coach Mike Pappalardo said. “We’re “Veronica is a beast on the boards,” the a young team and the girls started to un- head coach said of his athlete. “Any time derstand the system and everything start- you have her, she plays great defense. She’s ed to click and they built confidence.

top player. “She’s like a flashlight in people’s faces the entire time, she’s relentless,” the coach said of Cergol. Pappalardo also notes sophomore guard Nicole Hurowitz is a key off-thebench player who scores a ton of points. Moving to next season, the coach thinks the sky is the limit for his team, and his players agree. “You can tell the progression is there and we’re working hard,” Johnson said. “We all took it very seriously this year [after going 3-9 in League VI last season], so everyone was working really hard toward the same goal and it ended up paying off in the end.” Johnson admits the team started off timid and nervous, especially going up against stiff competition riddled with senior starters and because of the fact that the girls are young and there was no leadership. But after topping Miller Place the second time around, the Mustangs realized they had all the components needed to be a contender ,and just needed to piece the puzzle together. Now looking ahead to next season, they’re confident, and they’re ready to be the team to watch. “I feel being a younger team is going be an advantage in the long run, because we’ll be together longer,” Johnson said. “I’m really proud of what we did this season. We made a huge change from last year to this year with the amount of effort people are putting in, and we’re going to continue to work hard.”

OPINION EDITORIAL

Together we can make a difference

Important causes are only successful when a whole community stands behind them, which is why we are calling on our readers to participate in the upcoming headshaving events for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation to support research into childhood cancers. That participation can be shedding locks or just opening a wallet — either will make a difference. According to the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of health within the U.S. Department of health and human Services, the most common cancers overall are breast, prostate, lung and colon or rectal cancer. But the most common childhood cancers are types such as leukemia, lymphoma, brain cancer and bone cancer. The institute estimated that almost 2,000 U.S. children and adolescents

younger than 19 died of cancer in 2014. While childhood cancers are not as prevalent as others and the mortality rate is not off the charts, each case tugs at us for many reasons: There’s no one we love more than our children; kids are innocent, and some may not even be able to understand their own suffering; and there are few losses more tragic than those of lives that had been bursting with potential and dreams unfulfilled. There are small things we as residents can do to help ease that suffering, even if it is in the slightest of ways. That is why we hope readers of this newspaper will find some way to participate in the St. Baldrick’s Foundation’s cause. For more information about events in your area, see page A5.

A long history of false prophets TO ThE EDITOR: Many of us have watched in horror the actions of ISIS radicals. These actions have ranged from destroying irreplaceable antiquities to beheading “infidels” to forms of ethnic cleansing. There are those who say, “These people must be animals to behave in such a barbaric manner.” They are not animals, nor are many of them poorly educated. They are often people, like many of us, in search of answers to the chaotic riddle of human life. Someone comes along and says, “I know what God wants you to do.” These people listen, as have so many before them, then proceed to do horrific things. Is this behavior any different from the Spanish during the Inquisition? Is this behavior any different from the people of Salem during the witch trials? What about David Koresh in Waco, Texas, telling the Branch Davidians to, in the name of God, resist authorities to the death? Or Jim Jones, in Guyana, telling his followers to — again, in the name of God — kill their children and then themselves? What most of us believe we would do if a self-anointed prophet came along and told us to take some action is quite different from what many people actually do, particularly when that prophet claims to be speaking “God’s words.” There is a saying, God protect us from that which we do in his name.

We should all follow the rule of doing good for others.

I believe we should use what is happening in the Middle East as a warning of how easily masses of people can be led astray when the name of God is used to lead them. I believe we should all follow a basic rule: If your actions truly do good for others, without harming anyone, continue doing them; if your actions in any way cause harm, stop. Perhaps the unanswered questions regarding the existence of a supreme being and some cosmic plan that have plagued mankind since the very beginning of our arrival on this planet deserve to remain unanswered, at least until we can find nondestructive answers. But that’s just one man’s opinion. Francis G. Gibbons Sr. Terryville

Celebrating the moment with the right cookie

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

y wife makes the best chocolate chip cookies in the world. I recognize designating something as the “best” is subjective. Sometimes, it’s not what’s in them that counts, but who makes them; although it’s impossible to imagine a softer, more flavorful cookie.

I recently celebrated a birthday with those cookies and, in the moment that I ate them, I could have been five, eight, ten, or even 16 years younger. Maybe I was returning from a run in Central Park, delighted to catch the scent of those cookies as I reached the fourth floor of my five-story walk up. A few weeks before my birthday, my wife and I celebrated a wedding anniversary. While 15 years isn’t exactly a milestone, it’s one of those “0” or “5” numbers that we who live in a base-10 system recognize. When you’ve been married for more than a decade and have kids, you tend to focus much less on “how are we doing” than you do on “how are they doing.” The “they” refers to the small people who look so delightful and charming while sleeping, but who have figured out how to make us see red when they fight

with each other, argue with us, or chew through time by checking Instagram, looking at the latest scores, or needing one more snack before moving to the next activity. While we reflect on the relationship that started it all during anniversaries, we hope our spouses know what we’re thinking and what we need on our birthdays, even when we ourselves can’t come up with anything we’d like. And so it was recently, when my family arrived early at one of our birthday restaurants. We go to these places to celebrate the start of another year because they serve kid-friendly food and they and the other patrons are indifferent to a sudden shout, an unexpected move, or an argument. We were so early that, to borrow from Dr. Seuss, “We sat in the parking lot, we sat there, we two (plus our kids), and we said, ‘How we wish we had some-

thing to do.’” My wife suggested we go to a batting cage. Our children, who practice softball and baseball through the year, groaned. Neither of them wanted to put on a helmet, find batting gloves and hit another ball at that moment. “It’s not for you,” my wife said, her eyes widening in a way that suggested they shouldn’t challenge her. “It’s for him,” she insisted, pointing to me. I wasn’t sure I needed to hit balls, either. The first batting cage was far too crowded. We found another one just a few miles down the road. I bought a few tokens, borrowed my daughter’s bat, dug in and took a few practice swings. The first contact between bat and ball was like a spark that traveled through my brain and back to my youth, to a time when hitting a baseball was the most exciting thing I could imagine in a day. I didn’t clobber every pitch and I

‘We hope our spouses know … what we need on our birthdays.’

didn’t win a World Series, even in my mind. I just did what I tell my kids to do all the time: see the ball, hit the ball. I didn’t think about deadlines, responsibilities, or chores. There was no driveway to shovel or dishwasher to repair. There was only an approaching baseball and the tool in my hands to hit it. My wife stood at the entrance to the cage, pumping token after token into the machine, asking me just one question as a satisfied smile spread across her face: “Again?” Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from northshoreoflongisland.com/ebooks.

Vacation’s not all it’s ‘cracked’ up to be

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

t started off simply enough. We were going to get a break from the wicked weather, get out of town and enjoy a little rest. I had fallen on black ice, hurt my back and this would be a chance to recover with no other responsibilities. Sounds innocent, right? So there I am, sitting on a deck outside my hotel room, propped up on some pillows, reading a good book, when my cell phone rings. “Hello, Lee, this is Harold.” It takes me a

moment to register that it is my next-door neighbor back home. “Lee, I just drove up my driveway, and I have to tell you that it sounds like you have a garden hose gushing inside your house. I know you are on vacation, but I thought I should call to tell you. Lee? Lee? Are you there?” I didn’t faint, but I considered it. Here I was, almost 2,000 miles away, and there is water gushing in my house because of cracked pipes. It took me some moments to pull my wits together, such as they were. So what does one do when one receives such a phone call? I offer this as a primer, and I will leave out the hysteria. In rapid succession, I called the plumber, another member of my household who was not home at the time but close by, my friend, another neighbor and the insurance company. After carefully taking down all the details, my insurance company called a restoration company, who came with giant fans to dry things out and a small instrument with twin

sensors to detect where there was water. And there was plenty of water—behind the walls, in the insulation, in the padding under the carpets, in the clothes closets and every other inch into which a droplet might fall. Then there were all the logistics to arrange: someone had to let in the restoration company and be available for them while they worked, someone had to authorize the work, someone had to sort through and mop up the wet and damp things in the rooms. And someone had to keep me informed of what was needed at any given moment. As the days went by, we ran up considerable phone time, and then we were scheduled to return. At that point, we were told two startling bits of information. First, I was assured that I shouldn’t be too shocked when I entered my house. After all, they had to strip the sheetrock, remove the ceilings, take off the light fixtures, transfer all the furnishings from the affected rooms into the

unaffected rooms, and generally rearrange my interior world. That was just part one. Part two was that it was snowing heavily in New York and flights were being cancelled all over the country. This was complication beyond the obvious. With my bad back, I was going to face the prospect of long delays in airport terminals and questionable departures. And the poor driver who was waiting in New York to pick us up and take us home! How long would he be stuck? Little did we, or he, know, he was about to spend the night at my house. Sleep over, you say? Yes, because when he finally drove down the driveway to my front door at 3 a.m. and lifted out the luggage, he discovered his car was stuck on the ice and he wasn’t leaving — at least not until after sunrise, when someone could be called to free him. Storms make for strange bedfellows, so to speak. So he slept uneasily in my most comfortable living room chair as

his wife called to check on him, in the night. And finally, a neighbor who is an early riser perceived the difficulty, got out his snow blower and enabled the driver’s escape. I will confess that, despite the gentle warnings, when I walked into my house and viewed my wall studs and ceiling beams and the general rearrangement of my favorite things, I almost lost it. Furthermore, my back was hurting and all I wanted was to brush my teeth and get into my own bed, which eventually did happen. So, what I can advise at this point, if you are planning a vacation, is to leave a key with one of your neighbors, along with the phone number of your plumber, and directions on how to find the shutoff for the water main. And upon your return, when people ask how your vacation was, just laugh.
