Rocky Point residents were able to get a full picture of its school district budget for the 2019-20 school year after two workshops on Jan. 14 and March 18 that covered all aspects of the budget. The total proposed budget amount for the upcoming school year will be $86,743,446, a slight increase of 0.71 percent from last year’s amount. The district will also see a projected tax levy cap of 2.59 percent and the tax levy amount would increase by more than $1.3 million. At the Jan. 14 workshop, district officials expressed concerns over the delay in implementation of foundation aid to its schools and how it could affect state aid funds they receive. On April 1, the state passed its budget and the district will receive a preliminary figure of $19,044,293 in foundation aid, an increase of more than $140,000 from last year. “The district is appreciative of the efforts of our elected representatives in Albany for all they have done to provide additional foundation aid for the 2019-20 school year,” Superintendent Michael Ring said. “Although the increase for the school year represents a smaller rate of growth than in recent years, we are aware of the fiscal challenges being addressed in Albany.” Another highlight from the January workshop was debt services which will decrease in the 2019-20 school year as a result of a completion of payments of two bonds that date back to 1995 and 2000. The bond payments will expire on June 30 and will save the district $451,751. The Rocky Point superintendent said the bonds expiring were approved by voters for various construction projects, including the construction of the Rocky Point Middle School. As debt service decreases, so does building aid from New York State, which is provided to offset part of the cost of bond interest and principal payments over the life of debt. Employees Retirement System rates will decrease to 13.1 percent, which will most
likely save the district more than $159,000. Teachers Retirement System rates are expected to decrease as well to 9 percent and would save the district close to $582,000. Ring mentioned over the past decade the district experienced large increases in required contributions to both ERS and TRS. “Those increases were challenging to fund and necessarily constrained funding for instructional programs and maintenance of buildings and grounds,” he said. “As these rates have settled back down, the result has been opportunities to better support our core instructional programs and enhance maintenance of our facilities.” In the March presentation, the district showcased recent enrollment numbers of its students. For the upcoming school year, they are projecting a decrease of 56 students in total, the middle school and high school look to be the most affected as they will have 26 and 23 fewer students respectively. Ring said declining enrollment is a factor impacting most Long Island school districts, adding the district has effectively managed the impact of this trend through appropriate allocation of resources, redeployment of staff when ordinary attrition occurs and anticipating future needs based on an understanding of the population trend. The proposed budget is tax cap compliant, according to the superintendent. However, the final tax levy proposal that will go before the voters in May will not be final until acted upon by the board at its April 16 meeting. For the budget to pass, the district will need a majority of voters support. If the district doesn’t get enough initial votes, the district would call for a second vote with the same or a revised budget. If the second vote does get enough support expenditures could be cut by more than $1.3 million. That could mean potential cuts to instructional and administrative staff as well as instructional support and athletics. The district budget hearing will be held May 7 at the Rocky Point High School auditorium and the budget vote will be held May 21.

County Local officials recognize U.S. women’s soccer team gender pay gap Suffolk County and Town of Brookhaven officials celebrated Equal Pay Day April 2 by vowing to call attention to the gender pay gap between men and women, especially in the sports world. Members of the Island-wide Gender Equality Coalition, soccer coaches and student athletes joined forces at a press conference in Hauppauge to highlight workplace gender discrimination in compensation and call on the U.S. Soccer Federation to end gender discrimination in soccer for the sake of future generations of young women athletes and the integrity of the sport. In addition, they called for women all over the country to sign their petition and help them send a message in the world of athletes and beyond. On International Women’s Day March 8, the U.S. women’s soccer team filed a gender discrimination suit against the U.S. Soccer Federation, citing salary disparities and unequal support, including inferior training, promotion and playing conditions than their male counterparts. Despite consistently greater success on the field than the U.S. men’s soccer team, the three-time world champion, four-time Olympic gold medal U.S. women’s soccer team said they continue to be paid a fraction of the salary paid to men’s team members. They also allege, unequal treatment by the federation often exposes

female athletes to more hazardous conditions to practice, train and compete. “Young girls around the world idolize the U.S. women’s soccer players because they exemplify unmatched strength, skill and fearlessness,” said Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket). “Their lawsuit sends a message of solidarity with women worldwide who are fighting for equality in the workplace and presents an important teachable moment for our children about gender disparity and the ongoing fight for women’s equal rights.” At the Town of Brookhaven board meeting March 27, Councilwoman Valerie Cartright (D-Port Jefferson Station) sponsored a resolution
to make April 2 Equal Pay Day within the town, which was passed unanimously by the board. “Pay equity is critically important to having a fair and just workplace,” Cartright said. “Unequal pay and gender discrimination impact a woman as an individual; it impacts her family and the larger society. On a personal level, as the mother of a young girl, I want my daughter to know that her mother fought for equal rights and equal pay for women when I had the opportunity.” In New York State, the gender pay gap, or the earnings ratio of women’s median earnings divided by men’s median earnings, is 80 percent. In 2017, women living in Suffolk
County earned 78% of what men earned, according to Hahn’s office. Women who are identified within minority groups fare even worse, with black woman earning 79% and Hispanic woman earning just 58% as compared to white men. “Today, we are wearing red to symbolize that women are ‘in the red’ in terms of pay, as compared to men performing similar work,” said Colleen Merlo, the executive director of L.I. Against Domestic Violence and chair of the Gender Equity Coalition. “This issue is not just a women’s issue, it affects children and families.” Hahn said she created a letter writing campaign and petition about attaining gender pay equality and to help the U.S women’s soccer team. The petition can be accessed at Change. org under the title Pay and Treat Women Soccer Players the Same as Male Players at http:// chng.it/k54wZZqJH6 and a sample letter can be found at http://tinyurl.com/yycb3f8v. During the next two months leading up to the World Cup in France June 7, the group hopes to obtain 75,000 signatures for the petition, which they will then deliver to U.S. Soccer Federation officials. A 2015 petition supporting the team garnered more than 69,000 signatures, according to Hahn’s office.

Homeowners taxed on prototype nitrogen filters People enrolled in county septic program say it’s political BY DAVID LUCES DLUCES@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk homeowners, who received county grants to install nitrogen-reducing septic systems as part of the county’s septic program, are facing the reality of additional tax burdens and payments after they received IRS 1099 tax forms in the mail. Participants in the Suffolk County Septic Improvement Program, which helped install prototype home septic systems that filter out nitrogen in participants homes, were told since the program’s inception in 2017 that only the contractors who did the installation of the systems would need to declare the grant money as taxable income because they received disbursement of funds from the county. This year, the office of Suffolk County Comptroller John Kennedy Jr. (R) sent tax forms to the program participants, and in many cases both homeowners and contractors received 1099s for the same job, despite a legal opinion by the county’s tax counsel that advised that the tax forms go to the companies that received the funds, not homeowners. In response, Deputy County Executive Peter Scully sent a letter to the comptroller’s office on March 14 requesting that Kennedy rescinds the 1099 forms issued to homeowners. After getting no response, Scully sent a second letter on March 26 asking Kennedy again to rescind the 1099s and mentioned since the first letter there had been new information that had come to light in the issue. Scully stated that the county’s Department of Health Services has confirmed that some of the homeowners who received 1099s have declared the grants as income and like the contractors will be paying taxes on the same grants. “It boggles the mind that anyone can believe that having both homeowners and installers declaring the same grants as income and having taxes paid by both parties on the same disbursement of funding is an acceptable outcome,” the deputy county executive said in a statement. In a Newsday article earlier this month, Kennedy said he planned to ask the Internal Revenue Service for a private letter ruling on the matter. Scully said that would be unnecessary, citing again the county’s legal counsel advice and other municipalities who have similar programs and are structured the same way. The letter ruling would cost close to $30,000 and could take more than a year, Scully added. Some residents who are enrolled in the program have claimed Kennedy, who recently announced he is running against County

Executive Steve Bellone (D) in the next election, is politicizing the issue and potentially sabotaging the program. “I have no doubt in my mind,” Tim Sheehan of Shelter Island. “I don’t understand the rationale behind double taxing participants besides politicizing water safety and punishing homeowners for doing the right thing.” The Shelter Island resident was one of the early applicants of the program and had an advanced septic system installed in his home August 2018. He said without the help of county and town grants he and his wife would’ve not been able to afford the upgrade. The deadline to file taxes is April 15. While Sheehan expected to pay taxes on the town grant, he didn’t anticipate the county liability. He said he is facing close to a $3,000 higher tax bill on the $10,000 grant and as a result has put him into a higher tax bracket and is required to pay a higher percentage on his income. “Nowhere in the grant contract is there a mention of a tax liability to homeowners,” the Shelter Island resident said. “From the get-go we were told there would be no tax burden.” The Shelter Island resident was surprised when he received a 1099 form for the system and reached out to county officials for help. When
they said they couldn’t help, Sheehan called the comptroller’s office hoping to speak to Kennedy directly. After numerous calls without getting a response, Kennedy finally called him. When questioned Kennedy blamed the current administration for mishandling the issue and told Sheehan that he never agreed with the county’s legal counsel decision. Kennedy has not responded to requests for comment. George Hoffman, co-founder of the Setauket
Harbor Task Force, said the tax form issue couldn’t have come at a worse time for a program that not only helps homeowners but improves water quality and waterways on Long Island. Hoffman said excess nitrogen, from homes with outdated septic systems or cesspools, seeps through the ground causing harmful algae blooms and can negatively affect harbors and marshes that make areas more susceptible to storm surges as well. “These people are pioneers, we should be applauding them for doing the right thing,” the task force co-founder said. Hoffman added he supports any effort to reduce excess nitrogen in our waterways and said many homes on Long Island have septic system that are in need of replacement. He is also concerned that the comptroller’s decision could stunt the progress the program has already made. Bellone has said there are about 360,000 outdated and environmentally harmful septic tanks and leaching systems installed in a majority of homes across the county, and with the issue of being taxed, dozens of applicants have dropped out of the program after learning of Kennedy’s decision to issue forms 1099 to homeowners, according to Scully. Officials in the county executive’s office are concerned it could endanger the future of the program and impact funding from the state. In early 2018, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) awarded Suffolk County $10 million from the Statewide Septic Program to expand the county’s denitrifying systems. State officials in Albany are aware of the ongoing situation and are similarly concerned, according to Scully. If the IRS were to side with Kennedy, he said they would turn to representatives in Congress for assistance, arguing that those funds shouldn’t be going to Washington but back into taxpayers pockets.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers and Suffolk County Police 4th Precinct Crime Section officers are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate the people who stole merchandise from a store in Lake Grove in January.
Two people stole assorted clothing from Macy’s, located in the Smith Haven Mall, Jan. 18 at approximately 6 p.m. The clothing is valued at approximately $700.
Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini (D) announced April 2 the arrest of a Suffolk County Police sergeant for allegedly falsifying his time sheets, resulting in the theft of more than $7,000. Robert Kall, 48, of Shoreham, is charged with grand larceny in the third degree, a class D felony; corrupting the government in the third degree, a class D felony; falsifying business records in the first degree, a class E felony and official misconduct, a class A misdemeanor. Kall has been employed as a Suffolk County Police officer since Sept. 18, 2000 and has held the rank of sergeant since May 13, 2014. “Robert Kall’s alleged actions constitute a serious violation of the trust instilled in him by the Suffolk County Police Department and the public he was tasked with protecting and serving,” Sini said. “The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office will not tolerate the theft of taxpayer funds and deception by public officials.” The case was referred to the district attorney’s office from the Suffolk County Police Department’s Internal Affairs Bureau for prosecution. “This incident was referred to the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau after a police supervisor noted a discrepancy in Sgt. Robert Kall’s time and attendance,” Suffolk County Police Commissioner Geraldine Hart said. “Following an internal investigation, Kall was immediately suspended without pay and the matter was turned over to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office. Misconduct of any kind is taken seriously and will not be
tolerated in this department. Residents should be assured that our officers are committed to their profession and Kall’s conduct is not reflective of the Department’s dedication to service.” Kall is alleged to have falsified Suffolk County Police Department records to indicate that he had worked full shifts when he had not on 12 separate dates between Feb. 3, 2016 and July 17, 2018. On nine of the dates, Kall allegedly initially recorded himself as not working and later altered attendance records to falsely indicate that he had worked a full shift. On three of the dates, Kall allegedly reported himself as having worked full shifts without reporting for duty. As a result of the alleged falsifying of time sheets, Kall received an additional 12 paid days off from work to which he was not entitled, which are valued at $7,429.24. Kall surrendered to detectives from the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office April 2. He was arraigned on the charges and was released on his own recognizance. Kall’s attorney did not respond to requests for comment as of press time. If convicted of the top count, Kall faces a maximum sentence of two and one-third to seven years in prison. If convicted, Kall also faces a maximum possible fine of $14,858.48. Kall is due back in court on June 4. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Kevin Ward, of the Public Integrity Bureau.

Stony Brook Children’s Hospital doctor discusses measles BY RITA J. EGAN RITA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM After Rockland County declared a countywide state of emergency last week banning any person under 18 who is unvaccinated for measles from public spaces, Suffolk County issued a recommendation. In a press release, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and Suffolk County Health Commissioner Dr. James Tomarken urged county residents to make sure they are immunized against measles. Despite the recent ban in Rockland County due to a reported 157 cases of measles since October 2018, there is no immediate public concern in Suffolk. “In light of recent reports, residents should make sure to receive their measles shots to protect themselves,” Bellone said in the press release. “While there is no immediate public health concern in Suffolk County, this should serve as a reminder to do what is necessary out of an abundance of caution.” Stony Brook Children’s Hospital’s Dr. Sharon Nachman, division chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases and professor of pediatrics, said early symptoms of measles, which is a virus, can be mistaken for the common cold
with a patient suffering from a runny nose, fever and red, watery eyes. She said even doctors can miss the signs of measles, that is until the typical rash of flat red spots appears. The best protection against measles is the measles, mumps, rubella vaccine, the doctor said, and two doses of the MMR vaccine is needed. Measles is highly contagious, and a person could infect others even 60 feet away. She said an unvaccinated person can potentially catch the measles even if they were in the same supermarket or airport as an infected person. “The reason for the isolation is to keep the kids who are at risk from the kids who are incubating the illness, or they don’t know they have measles,” she said, adding there are those who are unable to be vaccinated due to medical reasons. The doctor said anyone born before 1957 more than likely had measles. After 1957, three different vaccines for measles, mumps and rubella were given, and now all are combined into one immunization called MMR. She said one should find their immunization records to see if they received two rounds of each when it was split, or two doses of the MMR vaccine. Once a person gets the measles or the proper doses of the MMR vaccine, they are immune to measles.
Nachman said it’s important to get the full doses, and if a person isn’t sure if they got two rounds of MMR, an extra dose will not hurt them. When she talks with parents who are hesitant about the immunizations, Nachman said she tells them not to be fooled by what’s written on the internet, and to make sure any website they visit has a review process by professionals as anyone can write anything on a blog without checking facts. The doctor also said it’s important to remember diseases such as measles are still in the environment, and just because we don’t have an outbreak right now, it doesn’t mean it’s not possible. She calls immunization “community protection” instead of using the common term “herd immunity,” which describes when the majority of the population is vaccinated, there is less likelihood of an unvaccinated person being infected. “You have to do the same thing for your entire community that you expect your community to do for you,” she said. “That’s what community protection is all about. You don’t want your kid getting into a car unless the driver is wearing a seatbelt and your kid is wearing a seatbelt. That’s what a community does. It protects everyone in the community.”
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website, cases of measles have been confirmed in 15 states and is still common in many parts of the world. Measles has been brought into the United States by unvaccinated American travelers and foreign visitors, according to the website. Worldwide, an estimated 20 million people get measles. Out of those infected, 146,000, mostly children, die from the illness each year.
multi-year, industry-wide investigation of opioid market participants, which alleges that manufacturers implemented a common “playbook” to mislead the public about the safety, efficacy, and risks of their prescription opioids. “Manufacturers pushed claims that opioids could improve quality of life and cognitive functioning, promoted false statements about the non-addictive nature of these drugs, masked signs of addiction by referring to them as “pseudoaddiction” and encouraged greater opioid use to treat it, and suggested that alternative pain relief methods were riskier than opioids, among other grossly misleading claims,” the attorney general’s office stated in its summary of the amended suit. The office claims that manufacturers used a vast network of sales representatives to push dangerous narratives and target susceptible doctors, flood publications with their deceptive advertisements, and offer consumer discount cards and other incentives to them to request treatment with their product. The manufacturers named in the amended complaint include Purdue Pharma and its affiliates, members of the Sackler family (owners of Purdue) and trusts they control,
Janssen Pharmaceuticals and its affiliates (including parent company Johnson & Johnson), Mallinckrodt LLC and its affiliates, Endo Health Solutions and its affiliates, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, Inc. and its affiliates and Allergan Finance, LLC. The distributors named in the complaint are McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health, Inc., Amerisource Bergen Drug Corporation and Rochester Drug Cooperative, Inc. “As the Sackler Family and the other defendants grew richer, New Yorkers’ health grew poorer and our state was left to foot the bill,” James stated. “The manufacturers and distributors of opioids are to blame for this crisis and it is past time they take responsibility.” The opioid epidemic has ravaged families and communities nationwide and across New York. Suffolk County has been particularly hard hit statewide. When the county originally filed its lawsuit, legislators reported that the region suffered the highest number of heroin deaths statewide. Between 2009 and 2013, 418 people died of a heroin overdose. Many people turned to heroin when their prescriptions ran out. The opioid related death tolls have continued to rise. According to New York State Health Department data for 2017, opioid pain relievers, including
illicitly produced fentanyl, caused 429 deaths in Suffolk County. Over six thousand people were admitted for opioid addiction, including heroin, into the counties Office of Alcohol and Substance Abuse Services. “I applaud New York State Attorney General James for joining in our efforts to recoup untold amounts of public funds that were spent to assist those afflicted by this epidemic,” Bellone stated. “Suffolk County is taking a page out of Big Tobacco’s playbook to hold the Sackler family and others accountable for their role in connection with the opioid crisis. The Suffolk County legislature is proceeding with their lawsuit as it was originally put forward, but officials agreed with the state’s initiative. “The pharceutical companies opened the flood gates,” said county Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mt. Sinai). “I agree the Sacklers should be targeted for a lawsuit.” County Legislators Anker, Kara Hahn (D-Port Jefferson) and William Spencer (D-Centerport) originally co-sponsored the bill. “It’s an incredibly important that all responsible be held accountable,” Hahn said. “This company and company’s owners knew the addictive quality and used it for financial gain.”

New York State expands opioid lawsuit BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWMEDIA.COM New York State Attorney General’s office announced March 28 that it has expanded a lawsuit against opioid manufacturers, distributors and members of the Sackler family, whose company Purdue Pharma made and marketed OxyContin. The lawsuit, originally filed in Suffolk County, has now become the nation’s most extensive case to date to legally address the opioid crisis. Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) applauded the move. “It is our hope that our lawsuit, and ones like it, will bear fruit that forever changes the way destructive—but profitable—drugs are marketed and sold across the nation,” he said. The lawsuit alleges that six national prescription opioid manufacturers, four prescription drug distributors and members of the Sackler family are largely responsible for creating the opioid epidemic through years of false and deceptive marketing that ignored their obligation to prevent unlawful diversion of the addictive substance. The amended lawsuit includes Attorney General Letitia James’ findings from a

North Country Road Middle School
Miller Place students chat with author North Country Road Middle School in Miller Place embraced the digital age with well-known children’s author Dusti Bowling. After recently completing Bowling’s first book “Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus,” NCRMS’s Book Club welcomed the children’s author via Skype to gather insight on her writing secrets and have an in-depth discussion on their favorite book. “Face-to-face interactions with professional writers like Dusti Bowling allow our students to gain knowledgeable insight into life as an author and encourages them to embrace their passions of reading and writing,” said Superintendent Marianne Cartisano. “The district aims to motivate each student to dream big and work toward achieving their goals. We hope to inspire them, as well as provide them with opportunities to speak with individuals who had aspirations similar to those of our students.” Spearheaded by NCRMS’s librarian Ronnie Farrell, students talked with Bowling to learn more about her passion for writing and dive deeper into the book’s underlining message. Members of the NCRMS Book Club had several questions for Bowling including how old she was when she first realized she wanted to be a writer and what was her favorite pet. The Skype visit concluded with a sneak peek into Ms. Bowling’s upcoming book “Momentous Events in the Life of a Cactus,” which is pending release for September 2019.
Shoreham-Wading River Central School District
Bowling’s “Insignificant Events in the Life of a Cactus” shares the story of Aven, who was born with no arms, as she is faced with new challenges as her family relocated to Arizona. With two new pals who face differences of their own, Aven learns that their light can shine just as brightly as anyone else’s. Dusti Bowling, who currently resides in Arizona with her family and army of pets, has had a passion for reading since her youth. She composes various books for young adult and middle grade students.

Students prepared for her visit by reading some of her books including her most popular ones, “Beautiful Hands” and “Draw the Line.” Otoshi engaged the students in conversations about metaphors and symbolism and how she builds her stories in layers. They talked about character development, standing up for one another, community building, leadership qualities and making a difference in the world. “Her books are so inspiring to our students,” Wading River Elementary School Principal Lou Parrinello said about the stories that help students make connections through the power of reading, art and literature.

What Long Islanders can do now to support clean energy initiatives BY DONNA DEEDY DONNA@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s (D) agenda includes converting the state to 100 percent carbon-free electricity by 2040. Many people are ready to join the initiative but are unsure what to do. Gordian Raacke is the executive director of Renewable Energy Long Island, a nonprofit group founded in 2003 that is committed to transitioning Long Islanders to 100 percent renewable sources of energy. His organization educates the public, works with local governments and works with community interest groups to bring about the shifts needed to enable widespread adoption of renewable energy. Raacke offers this advice to people eager to make a move toward clean energy: Is there a hierarchy of strategies that people can implement to make the switch from fossil fuels to renewable sources? People often ask me, and I always tell them that the best place to start is by stopping needless energy waste. There are lots of ways to get started, big and small; and if big is not feasible it is totally OK to start small. The important thing is to take the first step, and then the next ... When people are looking to go solar, it is useful to remember that energy efficiency improvements are the most cost-effective way to lower your energy bills. And making energy efficiency improvements first means that the size of the solar array can be smaller and therefore less costly.
Stock mage from Metro Creative Connection
Where should homeowners start? The easiest way for a homeowner to get started in a comprehensive way is to get a free home energy audit through PSEG-LI’s program, www. psegliny.com/saveenergyandmoney/homeefficiency/homeassessments/homeenergyassessment. A specially trained, Building Performance Institute–accredited contractor will assess the energy efficiency of your home with state-of-theart diagnostic tools and produce a list of recommended improvements with expected costs and savings. The homeowner can then decide which recommendations to follow and can also obtain rebates and financing for this. NYSERDA [New York State Energy Research and Development Authority] also has a web page on this at www. nyserda.ny.gov/Residents-and-Homeowners/AtHome/Home-Energy-Audits.
There are also a lot of useful lists of things that we can do. PSEG-LI’s brochure “66 Ways to Save Energy” is actually pretty good (also online at www.psegliny.com/saveenergyandmoney/tipsandtools/66waystosave; but you have to click on the various tabs to read it all). NYSERDA has a page at www.nyserda. ny.gov/Residents-and-Homeowners/At-Home/ Energy-Saving-Tips. And there is lots more if you Google it. What’s the first step? Super-simple things are, of course, just replacing conventional or compact fluorescent (CFL) light bulbs with more energy-efficient LED bulbs (their light quality has improved a lot over earlier versions, and they are quite inexpensive now). Adding low-flow adapters to kitchen, bath and shower can help reduce hot
water heating costs. Replacing the thermostats with internet-controlled smart thermostats can save money on both heating and cooling costs. And sealing cracks around windows and doors can often be done by DIY homeowners. When shopping for new appliances, it pays to look at the EnergyStar ratings and select models with lower annual energy costs. Pool pumps are now much more energy efficient (called variable speed pool pumps) and save a lot of electricity during the summer. Some of these items are offered with attractive utility rebates. Is it a good time to go solar? When going solar, it is important to get several estimates from reputable and experienced local contractors. It is also important to fully understand the difference between owning and leasing a system. And, by the end of this year, the federal solar tax credit for residential rooftop solar arrays is decreasing (and will continue to decrease further). To be eligible to get the current 30 percent federal tax credit, a solar array has to be in service by Dec. 31, 2019. So now is a good time to get some solar estimates. Both Renewable Energy Long Island and the Sustainability Institute at Molloy College offer advice on finding reputable solar contractors. The Sustainability Institute, also a nonprofit, publishes on its website an evaluation on choosing between owning and leasing. Renewable Energy Long Island’s website is www.renewableenergylongisland.org. The Sustainability Institute’s website is www.longislandgreenhomes.org. Its lease vs. buy comparison is under the Go Solar tab at the top of the homepage.

Opinion
Editorial Mixed news for Long Islanders The approved $175.5 billion 2019-20 New York State budget Monday brought some good and bad news for Long Islanders. That bit of good news came in the form of up to $4 billion over five years for the Long Island Rail Road, making the possibility of improvements to the mass-transit system more promising than ever. However, we believe Long Islanders will need to keep an eye on these funds and make sure they are used for the improvements that mean the most to them. From everyday commuters to city day-trippers, many can attest that a ride on the train is no picnic, and the transportation system is in desperate need of improvements. From overpacked train cars during rush hours to numerous delays, many Long Islanders opt to take their vehicles into the city instead of dealing with noisy, dirty trains. A new congestion pricing program in Manhattan will enable LIRR to receive 10 percent of the revenue generated, which will allow funds to be used for capital improvement projects for trains and stations. The program, which will go into effect by 2021, will implement tolls for vehicles passing through Manhattan at 60th Street, with exclusions including FDR Drive, West Side Highway and Battery Park underpass. While legislators have plenty of ideas for the LIRR, including more ADA compliant stations, electrified rails and more train cars — so when there is a problem with a car a replacement is available — this is the time for residents to speak up and let their concerns be heard. Not only do we urge our readers to notify their legislators with what they would like to see improved on the LIRR, we also appeal to the Metropolitan Transit Authority to hold public forums to allow passengers to air their grievances. With the amount of money being pumped into this, it cannot be squandered. On the municipalities side of the budget, however, it’s not all good news. Long Island will see less in local aid and road repair funding. Multiple Brookhaven town officials have sent us opinions and letters about this loss. The town is losing $1.8 million in local aid and almost another $700,000 in road repair funding, a 15 percent decrease in its state highway aid. The permanent 2 percent property tax cap, we hope will allow more Long Islanders to remain here, and not only survive but also thrive. However, it doesn’t compensate for the recent federal capping of SALT deductions, which has meant that many people were unable to claim their entire property tax on their federal taxes. Cost-of-living issues on Long Island are no joke, and while there is certainly a fair amount of political handwringing over budgets, more needs to be done on the state’s side to bring down the cost of living. The additional $1 billion in school aid helps, any loss in local funding does not.

Letters to the editor
New state budget is a detriment to town The 2019 New York State budget that was passed April 1 in our state capital under cover of darkness, unfortunately, continues Albany’s long-standing tradition of shortchanging Long Island. In fact, it takes it to new and dizzying heights. The New York City–dominated Legislature’s spending bonanza leaves us fighting for leftovers, veritable crumbs from the feast of cash upon which the five-borough monster gorges itself. From a municipal standpoint, and I will use the Town of Brookhaven as an example but we are by no means unique, we lost $1.8 million in local aid (Aid and Incentives for Municipalities) and almost another $700K in road repair funding. This funding, which represents 15 percent of our state highway aid is now gone, while vast new taxes including congestion pricing in Manhattan as well as higher tolls on bridges and tunnels will be taking tens of billions of dollars more from our residents. A promise of a mere 10 percent of this money grab clearly designed to punish suburban commuters will go to the LIRR, which is apparently all that those who supported this budget think it takes to appease us. When is it enough? I wish I could feign surprise at
the outcome of this budget process. I even held out a bit of hope before this new Legislature was seated when I held meetings with many of the incoming state legislators that represent Brookhaven to discuss the pressing needs of our infrastructure, telling them point blank not to be party to the next MTA tax fiasco. Just days into the session, however, I felt that old familiar sense of dread begin to build when an agenda focused on headlines came to the forefront. Some might say my viewpoint as a town highway superintendent is a bit parochial, but I was elected to the New York State Assembly twice and can tell you firsthand how insatiable New York City is when it comes to spending. Every highway department across the state has been pleading for additional funding in private meetings with legislators, the executive branch, as well as publicly with our lobbying efforts. Both the Assembly and the Senate one-house budget bills included significant increases in funding for local infrastructure, but now we see that those bills were only a ruse to keep everyone
quiet until the final spending bills were passed in the dead of a Sunday night. No discussion, no debate, no facing their local colleagues who will have to bear the brunt of yet another unfunded mandate. We have upheld our end of the bargain. We have lived within the tax cap, we have imposed spending and debt caps on ourselves to make sure we as a town are responsible stewards of the less than 7 percent of the property tax bills everyone pays. We actually prioritize our spending and have increased local funding for infrastructure in 2019 by 20 percent and have committed $150 million over the next 10 years. As we try to make headway into the vast backlog of work that the decades of infrastructure neglect got us, our state government continues to cut the small share of funding it sends us and then sits back while we get criticized for not delivering services. It’s long past time for state elected officials to step up and it’s high time our residents know the truth. Dan Losquadro Superintendent of Highways Town of Brookhaven
NY needs to reinstate SALT deductions Long Island faces many unique challenges not experienced in most other parts of the country, such as high local property taxes, unaffordable energy costs and a skyrocketing cost of living. These challenges have chased Long Islanders and opportunities away from our home here on the Island. In 2018, the average household income in Suffolk County was roughly $92,000, and while that may seem like a lot of money compared to what people make in other parts of the country, it certainly does not go anywhere near as far locally. For hardworking Long Islanders, the high cost of living is affecting so many young people’s ability to raise their families here and seniors’ ability to stay in the communities they love. While some Long Islanders have seen more money in their paychecks under tax reform, there are too many middle-income families paying more. Much of this discrepancy can be credited to the placement of a $10,000 cap
on the state and local tax deduction. This cap translates to Long Islanders being able to deduct only $10,000 of state and local income, sales and property taxes from their federal taxes. In a place like New York, where state and local taxes are skyrocketing, this cap takes its toll on the pockets of everyday hardworking men and women. Of course, it’s important to remember that the reason our state and local tax deduction was so high was because our state and local taxes were so high. Every level of government has a role to play in reducing our tax burden. The SALT deduction change was a geographic redistribution of wealth, taking extra money from places like New York to pay for deeper tax cuts elsewhere. New York is a net contributor that now will be contributing even more. The 2017 tax law chose winners and losers in a way that could have and should have been avoided. My goal in this tax reform mission has
always been to ensure the hardworking men and women of Long Island keep more of their paycheck, reduce their cost of living and are able to save more for retirement. The fight to improve our tax code so that it is fair for Long Islanders is not over. I support fully restoring the SALT deduction as part of any additional tax legislation. This Congress, I am continuing the fight by co-sponsoring the SALT Fairness Act of 2019 (H.R.257), introduced by Reps. Peter King (R-Seaford) and Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), and the SALT Deductibility Act (H.R.188), introduced by Rep. Nita Lowey (D-Rockland-Westchester), which would repeal the limitation on SALT deductions. I’m willing to work with anyone on either side of the aisle to secure tax relief for my constituents, and I won’t stop fighting to ensure middle-income Long Islanders are able to keep more of their hard-earned money. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) U.S. Representative, District 1

Imagine a sad story behind a vanity license plate
I
appreciate the joy of vanity license plates. They are like small puzzles that allow me to ponder their meaning while I await two or three traffic lights so I can turn left. Sometimes they are like good movies or artwork, allowing readers to come up with their own interpretation. My wife and I will ask each other what the combination of letters and numbers mean, D. None offering various guesses as if we of the above were on a game BY DANIEL DUNAIEF show, trying to figure out whether the letters are a message or the celebration of a successful stock that made it possible for the
person to buy that lovely car. They can reveal a car owner’s passions, for skiing, golf or for a particular person. They can also suggest how someone got the car, where the person with the car came from or how many people are in a family. Recently, I came to a traffic light and read a license plate that suggested a sad story. In an inconspicuous maroon car that I would have otherwise overlooked, the license plate had a message of animosity. Wow, I thought. Who would advertise an identity linked to hatred? How sad that each time the person got in the car, the license plate reinforced his or her antipathy. What could have happened that made anger so much more important than any other message or than a random collection of letters and numbers? Then again, maybe it’s the internet’s fault. Traveling along the internet superhighway, people can’t resist sharing their disdain for everyone and everything. Maybe the anger that follows us
on roads and on the heavily trafficked internet world has converged, blending into one laser-like beam of focused enmity. Then again, that’s probably a sociological cop-out. More likely, the car owner, whom I will call Joe, has a life-defining story he’s sharing through this license plate. Joe may have loved someone deeply and for years. He made plans about where they’d live, how many kids they’d have, what they’d do on weekends and where they’d take this small joy mobile on vacations. One day, however, she arrived at a prearranged dinner at a diner. She looked different. Her hair was longer and had been straightened. Instead of her worn North Face jacket, she was wearing a designer coat. Her purse, which Joe noticed when she placed it delicately on the table as if it were made of glass, had also changed. “Hey,” Joe offered. “You look so different. What’s up?” “I am different,” she smiled behind lipstick
someone else had clearly applied. When she refused the bread she usually wolfed down, Joe became nervous. “What’s different?” “I won the lottery. I’m thinking of changing everything about my old life.” “How much did you win?” a suddenly excited Joe asked. “How much is irrelevant. I’ve decided to give you a parting gift. I’m going to buy you a new car.” Joe didn’t know what to say. A car wasn’t what he wanted or expected. Then again, he didn’t want to walk away empty handed. When it came time to pick out a license plate, Joe wanted just the right way to express his frustration over what could have been. He tried options the DMV denied. Finally, he came up with a message that encapsulated a road not taken for his life and his car. Joe regularly drives past the home of the former love of his life, hoping she notices him and the message on his license plate: EVEIH8U.
What fine restaurant dining means to me
A
friend mentioned an article he had seen that asked the question, “What’s the best restaurant if you’re over 50?” and proceeded to ask me the same question. Now he well knows that I am over 50, and he also knows I eat in restaurants, sometimes for business and occasionally as a social event. In fact, as we have gotten older, my friends and I seem to do less cooking each year and Between more splurging on you and me dinners out when BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF we get together. So it was a relevant question in more ways than one. I don’t know what the article he was referring to concluded, but
I can tell you what is important to me when I dine in a restaurant. First and most critical is the food. It is certainly not the ambience or even the picturesque location. Those last are pleasant enough, but the quality and taste of the meal are most vital. I like food that I would describe as, for lack of a better term, clean. That means the ingredients should be allowed to speak for themselves and should not be buried under cheese or slathered on top with butter. Both of those can make food taste good, but unless the dish particularly calls for those ingredients, they should not drown the main offering. I also like seasoning but again not with a heavy hand. To my mind, a heavily spiced meal knocks out my taste buds. But I know lots of people, even a couple of my sons, like their food “hot.” For me, it is fun to try and analyze what spice or combination of spices make the food so tasty. Sometimes I can tell; sometimes I have to beg the answer from the chef, and surprisingly the answer is usually forthcoming. And sometimes I bring along a dear

friend, who is herself a celebrated chef, to sleuth out the mystery. I don’t have a large capacity for food at one sitting, so I frequently bring home half the meal to eat the next day. That not only makes me feel economical but also not wasteful, and I especially like a meal that will still be tasty when it is reheated. Not all dishes are up to that challenge, but occasionally one, like chicken, will be even better after it has lolled around in its spices in my fridge for 24 hours. When I go out to a restaurant with other people, I need to hear them when they speak. I also do not care to shout while I am chewing. That means it has to be reasonably quiet wherever we are eating. And unless the experience is deliberately family style, which can be fun, I don’t care to be stuffed into a crowd of diners. A moderate distance between tables is nice. So is a comfortable chair. I try not to be interested in the conversation at the next table — although there have been a few exceptions to which I will

admit — and a little privacy is welcome. That also helps to keep the ambience low key. Ditto for the background music, if there is such. I am not looking to have my large intestine jitterbug during a meal. Finally, it is pleasant to have a waiter or waitress who is not conspicuously weighed down by the problems of the world. Although I well understand that being a server in a restaurant is one of the hardest jobs, because pleasing so many different people with so many individual tastes has to be challenging, I prefer not having to deal with someone cranky or impatient. It is helpful when servers introduce themselves by name because it facilitates getting their attention and nicely personalizes the service in both directions. And I feel the tip ought not be an automatic percentage. That’s just a minimum. Exceptional service should be acknowledged in the one way that is most meaningful. That person after all is earning his or her bread, even as we are eating ours.

Mustangs make short work of John Glenn BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM It shouldn’t surprise anyone when the Mount Sinai Mustangs girls softball team, who made it to the final four last season in the Class A state championship round, trounced visiting John Glenn, 141, halting play after just five innings. Mount Sinai senior Holly McNair, a standout in the Mustangs’ Long Island championship basketball team, went three for four and drove in three runs. Senior Ilexa Skulnick plated two runners and senior pitcher Julia Golino went the distance allowing one run along with 12 strikeouts. The Mustangs have allowed
only two runs through three games in this early season letting their bats do the talking by putting up 56 runs. The Mustangs retook the field when they traveled to take on crosstown rival Miller Place April 4, but the result was not available by press time. Photos clockwise from top left: Mount Sinai sophomore Alaina Reilly slides safely into third; Reilly makes the play at second base; freshman Mackenzie Celauro rips one deep; freshman Samantha Stolfi fields the bunt and throws to first; catcher Skulnick takes the pitch; and Celauro scores a run.
