Community leaders and residents came out despite the weather April 20 for the 5th annual Sarcoidosis of Long Island Awareness Walk at Heritage Park. Councilwoman Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point), State Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), along with residents, community leaders, friends and families all participated in the day’s events. Sarcoidosis of Long Island has grown into an organization to fight for the rights of people who have sarcoidosis, a rare disease characterized by the formation of tiny clumps of inflammatory cells in one or more organs of the body. These clumps can interfere with an organ’s structure and function. Symptoms could include chest pain, seizures, meningitis, swelling of the joints, hearing loss and blurred vision. Frank Rivera founded Sarcoidosis of Long Island in 2012 after being diagnosed with the disease in 2011. He has been a local, state and

Town

Meet the woman planning to run for town council district 2 Coram woman to face Bonner in November election BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Sarah Deonarine, who is planning to run for the Town of Brookhaven Council District 2 seat on the Democratic ticket, said she believes there’s a way to balance the environmental and economic needs of the North Shore. “Nationwide, there’s a feeling of participating in the democracy, and I just couldn’t sit by anymore,” Deonarine said. “I realized somebody strong had to stand up, and it was either going to be me or nobody was going to do it.” In the upcoming weeks, Deonarine is looking for the petition application to run for councilwoman to come through, and she will run for the district seat against 12-year incumbent Jane Bonner (R-Rocky Point). Deonarine said she decided to jump into the race because of Proposition One, a back-of-theballot proposition that extended officials’ terms in office from two years to four, and limited officeholders to three terms. A total of 58 percent voted in favor of that measure with 42 percent opposing last November. The Democratic contender said the propo-

sition was a backwards means of extending the council members’ time in office, since each elected official would no longer have to run every two years, and the term limits weren’t retroactive. “It was like they hoodwinked the voters by not giving them the right information,” she said. The contender for the council seat has been a resident in Brookhaven for 11 years, and in Coram for four along with her husband and three young children. A Pennsylvania native, she holds a masters degree from the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University. She has worked for the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for seven years, and has spent the past four years as the executive director of the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee, which serves to protect the water quality of North Hempstead. She is a member of the Town of Brookhaven Democratic Committee, as well as a member of the Mothers of Twins Club of Suffolk County, the Coram Civic Association, Mommy and Me and Science Advocacy of Long Island. Deonarine already has the nod of the town Democratic Committee as well as the Working Families Party, and she said she has sent in

the petitions she needs to run for town council, though she has yet to receive confirmation back as of press time. She is running on numerous issues, including reforming the town’s meeting schedule, and focusing new developments around sustaining the environment. “A lot of what I want to do gets back to the

quality of life,” she said. “People are happier surrounded by nature.” She said that while it’s all well and good the town has meetings at 2 p.m. for those who can’t drive at night, having the nightly meetings at 5 p.m. means most people who are out working cannot attend. She said she would like to move those meetings past 6 p.m., and potentially move the meeting location occasionally to different parts in the town, giving more people availability to attend. She also called attention to the issues of derelict housing, otherwise known as zombie homes. The biggest barrier to people making use of this property, she said, was the liens Suffolk County puts on the property after it is razed by the town. She said she would use the strong connection she said she has with Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and other county and state lawmakers to see if there could be any program of lien forgiveness, or otherwise a program that would give developers the opportunity to revitalize the destroyed parcels. Developments and their consequences are on the minds of many North Shore residents, SARAH DEONARINE CONTINUED ON A8

With the opioid epidemic still endemic throughout Suffolk County and beyond, New York State senators are hoping the new state budget will mean more help for those in the throes of addiction. Measures woven into and passed in the state budget include increasing access for those suffering with substance use disorder to access 28-day inpatient and outpatient programs without prior insurance authorization. They also include money for a recovery high school start -up and no prior authorization for medicationassisted treatment. “These are critical reform measures,” said New York State Sen. Monica Martinez (D-Brentwood). In addition, she touted another reform, which will require emergency rooms to enact screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment for all overdose patients before they are released. For the first time, emergency room doctors will also initiate medically-assisted treatment to overdose patients prior to their release, utilizing drugs like buprenorphine that alleviate the craving for opioids including heroin. Martinez was joined by her Democratic colleagues at a press conference in Islandia April 12. Senators Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck), James Gaughran (D-Northport), Kevin Thomas (D-Levittown) and Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) gathered at THRIVE Long Island, a community center for people in addiction recovery whose funding was a legislative win three years back. The Island’s Democrats were joined by stakeholders to celebrate critical initiatives passed in this year’s state budget to combat Long Island’s pernicious opioid epidemic. Those stakeholders include parents of those lost to the epidemic, those in recovery and those in the prevention and addiction field, including the CEO of Family & Children’s Association Jeffrey Reynolds, of Smithtown. “There is still much work to be done to combat the opioid epidemic we are seeing here on Long Island,” Martinez added. She looked to Reynolds to the right of the podium and shared that he was tenacious in getting the Long Island’s senators’ attention as the hours dwindled in budget meetings. “He used social media and tagged every single one of us and let us know what funding was missing in the budget.” Kaplan said the crisis affects every community, every school and every community. “Too many innocent souls have been lost to this disease, they have been failed time and again,” Kaplan said. “We are done with half-measures — we will do everything we can to help people get into long-term recovery.” One such measure included and passed in the budget was the funding of another THRIVE center for Nassau in Hempstead. The doors are scheduled to open next month. Kaminsky met with some Long Island parents who lost loved ones to the epidemic prior to the budget process. Figures released by the addiction experts on Long Island put that figure at 3,400 since 2010. “When a parent tells you the story of how they found their child (dead), you want to make sure another parent doesn’t experience that,” said Kaminsky. When it came to budget negotiations that lasted around the clock, the state senator said they would not take no for an answer.

Health

SBU’s Del Poeta battles drug-resistant fungus BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Maurizio Del Poeta, a professor in the Department of Molecular Genetics & Microbiology at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, works to combat potentially deadly fungal infections. Recently, several press reports have highlighted the prevalence in New York and New Jersey of Candida auris, which is resistant to drugs and can cause death. Through an email exchange, Del Poeta shared his perspective on this fungal infection and his efforts to develop a treatment. Are there multiple drug-resistant strains of numerous types of Candida? Yes, there are several species of Candida that are resistant to some antifungals. For instance, Candida lusitaniae is normally resistant to amphotericin B. Candida glabrata is normally resistant to fluconazole. There are over 20 species of Candida that can cause infection in humans. Most are sensitive to antifungals. C. auris is normally resistant to all antifungals. They are resistant for mainly two reasons: (1) the target/enzyme is genetically different and, thus, the drug does not recognize the target; thus it does not bind to the target; and thus it does not inhibit it; (2) the drug is pumped out by membrane transporters. C. auris is notorious for having multiple membrane transporters. I understand the damage from Candida is primarily among people who are immunocompromised. Is there a risk for those people who are also healthy? Healthy people should be fine. But who is really “healthy?” Because C. auris is spreading in hospitals and nursing homes, all patients in hospitals and nursing homes are at risk: some more (e.g., cancer patients, patients with an organ transplant, patients in ICU, patients taking corticosteroids) and some patients have less risk because they are more immunocompetent, but certainly those patients could get contaminated. What makes it so hard to eliminate Candida? Because (1) we are not used to and (2) because we still do not know which type of disinfectant is efficacious against C. auris … Unlike other Candida infections, which are generally thought to result from autoinfection from host flora, C. auris can be transmitted between patients … C. auris requires implementation of specific infection control measures, such as those used for control of [other infections] (e.g., private room and on contact precautions). Because C. auris can

survive in plastic surfaces, floors, and door knobs for weeks, it is essential that infection control measurements be implemented in the health care settings. Does the work you’re doing offer hope, albeit in the earlier stages, for ways to treat and reduce the virulence of Candida? Yes, our new compounds are sensitive to C. auris in vitro against the C. auris clinical isolates that are resistant to current antifungals. We are currently testing their efficacy in vivo (animals). We are doing this in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health and the Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas. Our compounds have different mechanism of action from the current antifungals, Given that the symptoms of a Candida infection — fever, weakness and aches — are so prevalent in other types of infections, are there ways to make a clinically differentiated diagnosis of Candida without taking a blood sample or conducting extensive analysis? Unfortunately, there are not. Diagnosis of C. auris can only be made using sophisticated tests. Normal phenotypic tests are not able to identify C. auris for certain. If we want to stop (or at least control) the epidemic, anyone with a Candida infection in a hospital setting should be treated as C. auris. Hospital trafficking of

nurses, doctors, visitors from and to patients with C. auris should be highly restricted. Nurses and doctors should not be allowed in cafeteria without changing gowns, particularly if they are taking care of a patient infected with C. auris and other common sense practices should be implemented; but, unfortunately, they are normally out of the window in the hospital settings … In the case of C. auris “isolating rooms” and “contact precautions” should be implemented. How does your treatment for Candida work? The class of compounds are “acylhydrazones.” They target the synthesis of fungal sphingolipids. Given what you know about the prevalence of Candida, particularly in New York, and the minimal information about the specific locations where hospitals have found Candida, what would you advise anyone who might be “at risk” for Candida to do if they had elective surgery scheduled? Elderly and immunocompromised people going to the hospital should be treated with “contact precautions.” No need for isolation unless positive for C. auris. Is C. auris the most virulent or problematic species of Candida confronting

public health professionals today? Not really. C. glabrata is also a nasty Candida strain. What makes C. auris difficult is the resistance to drugs. Do other species suffer through Candida infections as well? Although humans are the most known carriers and hosts for Candida infection, other animals can also get infected such as dogs, horses and cattle. Certain Candida species are used in food production. Candida utilis extracts are used in Asia as a “salt” instead of salt because these extracts are salty and do not cause hypertension. We actually have a collaboration with the Japanese company that makes these extracts. Candida krusei is used to ferment cacao during chocolate production. Whereas C. utilis is not a human pathogen, C. krusei actually is. How do you protect yourself, your office and your staff from the spread of the infection? We use biosafety label 2. My lab is certified to handle BSL2 organisms, such as C. auris. We use all sorts of protective gears and standard protective procedures to make sure lab personnel are protected and to make sure we keep the microbes inside the lab. Entrance to my lab is strictly prohibited to anyone that did not receive appropriate training.

STATE BUDGET AND OPIOIDS Continued from A4 shining a light on the opioid epidemic and taking legislative measures to address it. Packages of historic bills have been pushed through statewide by Suffolk County advocates. The county is one of the state’s hardest hit counties

and they were the first county in the country to file a lawsuit against Purdue Pharma, the makers of the drug OxyContin. Reynolds addressed the senators on behalf of the sixty-plus advocates present. “ ‘Thank you’ seems insufficient. You promised on campaign trails you would do good for Long Island. Thank you so much for your efforts,” he stated. However, Reynolds promised that he and the Long Island advocacy movement will always ask the senators to do more.

Mount Sinai resident opens up consignment shop for local artists

BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Shelf at East Main ofﬁcially opened its doors April 19 in Port Jefferson Village, and welcomed an array of local artists, who all said they were happy for the rare opportunity to show off their work. The new consignment-style shop is similar to the typical art gallery, since artists show their work and give a percentage of sales to The Shelf. But, Diane Walker, the new store owner, said that her operation is different, because it’s intended to be more encouraging to local artists. Kyle Kubik, Walker’s son and an artist himself, said people were coming in at the last hour to get their work on display.

“There’s no out of pocket expense to them, and it’s up to us, and them, to promote the venue,” Kubik said. Walker, a 25-year resident of Mount Sinai, opened the shop to try and give those artists the opportunity to really ﬂesh out their passions in a noncompetitive space, something that gives local artists a leg up in an often cutthroat ﬁeld. The Shelf at East Main, located at 218 E. Main St., Port Jefferson, is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday. Walker said she expects she will soon start to open up the store for events outside regular hours. More information is available at www.visittheshelf.com.

and with new developments coming up in the town’s agenda, including the Mount Sinai Meadows millennial housing project and the Echo Run senior living project in Miller Place, Deonarine said there needs to be attention paid to making sure these developments do not affect the local wildlife, impact the belowground drinking water or increase traffic. “We need to protect all our water beneath our feet — you build more development, you have more waste running off into our local waterways,” she said. “More housing means more traffic, but we also need the tax base. The cost of living is really high, people living here, more industries, it’s a Catch-22.”

She said she would take a close look at the Brookhaven Industrial Development Agency, especially in terms of the tax breaks it gives to developments such as the Engel Burman senior living facilities currently under construction in Mount Sinai. The development was given a 13-year Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement that would see the developer continue to pay $46,000 in property taxes for the first three years while the two projects are under construction. She said there needs to be more public transparency with IDA meetings and decisions, along with a closer look at their decision- making process. “Local politics matter a lot. This is our everyday lives,” she said. “We really need to pay attention and consider a new way, a new approach.”

Shoreham students get down to some serious reading Students in Joan Jacobs’ kindergarten class at Miller Avenue Elementary School in the Shoreham-Wading River school district achieved some serious reading success when they set out to honor Dr. Seuss and Read Across America Day in early March by challenging themselves to read 500 books. When they achieved that goal in less than three weeks, they raised it to 600, then 700 and their passion for reading reached a collective 1,206 books by the end of March. “It was a fabulous opportunity for students

to understand the importance of reading and a positive way for them to keep on this journey throughout their lives,” Jacobs said. “We are so proud of their efforts.” To continue with their reading and writing skills, the students wrote letters to administrators and school staff inviting them to join the class in reading their favorite Dr. Seuss stories. As a culmination to the project, they were celebrated with a pizza party, courtesy of student Jack Illiano’s father, who owns Tony’s Pizza in Medford.

Wildcats win in extra innings BY BILL LANDON DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Miller Place’s softball team was down in runs for most of the game at Shoreham-Wading River Wildcats April 22, but the team rallied in the top of the seventh,scoring four unanswered runs to tie the game against SWR at 11-11 to force extra innings. It was Wildcats freshman Lindsay Cahill’s bat that decided the game in the bottom of the ninth, driving home senior Katlynn McGivney to win the game, 12-11, in a League V matchup against their crosstown rival. Sophomore pitcher Genna Baudo was credited with the win as the Wildcats improve to 3-6 in league. The loss drops the Panthers to 6-3 with seven games left to play before

the postseason. The Wildcats will need to win four games out of their remaining schedule to extend their season. The crosstown rivals will take on two of the South Fork teams April 25, with visiting Miller Place taking the field against East Hampton for a 10 a.m. start. The Wildcats will host Westhampton with first pitch also at 10 a.m. Clockwise from top left: Shoreham-Wading River senior Melissa Marchese has a look at a pitch; Baudo fields an infield pop-up for Shoreham-Wading River; Miller Place’s Brooke Proffit throws in from right field; Panthers’ Carissa Militano rips one deep; and SWR shortstop McGivney throws to third base.

Perspectives

Your Turn: Time for solutions to immigration divisions Why do we have to relearn lessons over and over, despite history telling us what works? Take immigration, the fiery topic du jour. Everyone holds a strong, increasingly entrenched, unmovable opinion about how to stem illegal immigration, protect America’s moral and historic immigrant commitment, preserve moral fiber and do right by those brought to the United States illegally as children. But what is the right answer? The right answer is a default to common sense. Go back just over 30 years. Former Republican President Ronald Reagan and former Democrat U.S. House Speaker Tip O’Neill found room for agreement, in their time, on this contentious topic. The former “Gang of Eight,” including late Sen. John McCain (R), got close with a bill that passed the Senate, lost in a Republican House. So why can’t we? America is — by definition and moral conviction — a country founded on immigration, with legal limits for various countries, practices, protocols and a complex fabric of legal obligations tied to those seeking asylum, refugee status, or wishing otherwise to enter and live in the United States, make a better life for themselves, and aspire to citizenship. Perhaps, oddly in a time of constant recrimination, instant outrage and emotional appeals for walls and sanctuary cities, my view is that there are still compromises available. They should be patiently sought, brought to the public for buy in, feedback and persuasion, then turned into law, just the way Reagan and O’Neill got to the “80 percent solution” more than three decades ago.

The real question is not whether we should what we are doing, turning on each other and build cement or electronic barriers along parts of attacking for political gain. They offered a better our southern border, whether we should return way forward, and we ought to take it. Here are basics on which all Americans criminals to host countries, whether to protect young lives at our border and act humanely, — including those in Congress — should be whether to protect our sovereignty, territorial able to agree: The nation’s borders are legal, integrity, national security and the sanctity of real and should be protected.

those fleeing horrific human conditions to gain asylum or refugee status, including children and adults. 3. Accountable, targeted and effective foreign assistance programs aimed at restoring rule of law, basic stability and self-sufficiency to countries racked by the opposite across this hemisphere, Central America to Venezuela — our neglect in this area has been objectively astronomical. 4. The foresight to understand that these three elements require robust funding, in order to prevent a run on America, for the stability, safety and opportunities we enjoy that many in this hemisphere do not. As a successful second-generation immigrant, proud American and hardworking businessman, I see opportunities in the present divide to find a new kind of interparty peace, to get to a new place in America where we all accept that compromise is better than pitched battles that lead nowhere. More to the point, I appreciate what America has meant to me, to my family, to my neighbors. I believe we have a moral duty to find solutions, not just shout and joust, staking out patches of ground to defend, when our real purpose is to defend what it means to be good Americans.

Today, to my delight and hysterics I learned that I am one year younger. “Wow, you mean I am only 57, not 58,” I said to my cousin Anthea. I so believed that I was in 58 that whilst at the doctor’s office recently I actually corrected their form and crossed out the 57 and made it 58. You would think that I would have caught myself there — but no. Now, I generally regard myself as good with numbers but this number, of all numbers, I got totally wrong. Best part — it was one year in my favor. It is not every day that you get that

bonus, like extra miles added to your travel account for spending more during the month than you should have. In any case, I got to thinking about all the bonus things I would get to enjoy in this extra year of my life. I am feeling giddy, like I cheated the grim reaper out of something. OK, that might be a bit morbid. Bottom line, I clearly don’t obsess about my age. I look in the mirror and see changes. I buy new, bigger clothes because I know I am never, ever going to fit into a size 8 again. I pay more attention to things that can increase my longev-

Middle age is a rich time of life, though. If guess I will never know now but no matter where you are really in it, you believe it is imperative he is, he is still my brother and we are eternally that you move in the direction of your soul’s connected. Death is not the end, and in the end it wholeness. Hearing and responding to the inner is only love that matters. I had friendships end. voice that says there is something more that you They just reached their conclusion because there must do, do the work, stay open and God will was no more to gain. The work was done, the exguide you, that you don’t have to worry about periences shared, some growth occurred and that

was all. In the end we said all we needed to say, and on an energetic level we moved away and on with our journeys. Another death. All of this was part of the plan. I don’t question that, but it doesn’t mean that they weren’t deaths. It was a time in my life that caused me to turn inward and even now causes me to retreat inward often. I cocooned like a caterpillar, but I feel like I am emerging as the butterfly, my own transformation. We all can and should go through this several times during our life. How else can we evolve and change? It’s an essential aspect of being human and living “holy.” When I allowed myself that time to grieve and let go, I was then able to open up to the new garden that awaited me and still does. Imagine that butterfly emerging from the cocoon. All that incubation and transformation while being still and confined was essential to it emerging to a wondrous new life and garden. I probably wasn’t unique when I held on to the bare essentials of my life and let go of the rest and let God, the universe, Jesus, Allah or whatever you want to call it, take over a bit. It was a benevolent force that was compassionate toward me and who loved me. But also, it was love for myself that helped me to be who I was and that was a great gift to myself. Slowly and steadily I was guided. We all can be if you just go with the flow and stop fighting it, stop struggling. I have experienced my own life in chapters and it is good to think of it like this. Chapters are long, move the plot forward and help the story evolve. I also believe with all my heart that change is not only inevitable, but it is essential to our growth as spiritual souls having this human experience. If we are afraid of change, we risk shutting off the “what ifs” of life. I don’t want to do that, in fact, I spend a lot of my time thinking about avoiding that and I bet you do, too. I am also certain that when we are either brave and take a risk to change or when life throws us a curveball and we are forced to change, that the result after all the pain, anxiety, tears and hurt is always a personal growth spurt. It is having faith during that time that is the hard part. I know I struggle with it and constantly remind myself to have faith, to know that I am on some sort of journey and that I am not alone. I check in with God a lot more during those times. Usually it’s several times a day, a quick prayer asking for help and guidance and always, always counting my blessings from the simple sound of the birds

singing early in the morning, to the sight of fresh beautiful food on our dinner table, to the sound of music, to all the love I have from my family and good friends. These are the things that make me feel blessed, everything else is an extra benefit so to speak. The new place which hard times get you to could never have been gotten to without that life lesson or experience. It is the rainbow after the storm and as hard as it is, I try to practice having faith that it’s part of my journey and to go with the flow. It is the faith that, however slight, I will emerge a little better as a human being, mother, wife, daughter, sibling, friend, activist and citizen of the world. It makes it worthwhile I would say. With the countless hours, energy, time and money spent to try and stop the inevitable aging process I say, “To hell with it,” or actually, “Freak it.” If we let go of the impossible and really embrace what is here and now, and which is the only thing that is real, we would be happier. As we all know, what we dread will someday, no matter what, happen. We will all move out of this plain and I have total faith that our light and energy will remain eternal. I try all the time to let go of what can’t be, and really seek out what is. The older I get, the more I understand what wiser people have been saying: Life is right now, this moment is sacred and real. Everything right now is all we should hold on to. For this moment is a golden beam of energy and it flows through you to enjoy it. The next time someone asks you how old you are, I hope you make a mistake as I did. I hope that you say you are a year younger or older then you really are. I hope that you crack up when you think you’ve have lived so many years that you can’t keep track anymore. Most of all, I hope that whatever the number, you don’t think of yourself as that age, that you feel so full of life experiences and wisdom, full of compassion and love, interested and engaged with people and things around you that you realize that these are gifts that have been bestowed upon you and which you have earned! That these are the things that are important. That you are beautiful, imperfections and all. That you are evolving and getting better at life all the time when you just open up and stay there as much as possible. There will never be another person like you, ever. Be your wondrous self always. Kathryn Simos is a Shoreham resident and an event coordinator.

Road rules

We can’t help but notice while commuting to work or on the road to cover a story that many people aren’t yielding the right of way to emergency vehicles which race to help our neighbors. It’s a complaint we’ve heard from our fellow drivers as well as the men and women who dedicate their time to making our communities a safer and better place to live. Whether on a congested road or one where traffic is flowing freely, not yielding to a fire truck, police car or ambulance with their lights flashing and sirens blaring could lead to firefighters not being able to rescue the occupants of a burning house or a heart attack victim not being saved. For decades, the main rules have remained simple — slow down and pull to the right of the road parallel to the curb and stop when you see an emergency vehicle with its lights and siren on near the vicinity of your vehicle. Don’t merge back into traffic until all emergency vehicles have passed, unless a police officer if present tells you otherwise. Of course, rules suggest motorists keep clear of any intersection and not tailgate a fire truck in hopes of bypassing all the other drivers who are trying to merge back into traffic. For years now, in New York state, drivers must also be mindful of emergency or hazard vehicles, such as tow trucks, that are parked, stopped or standing along the side of a road. Called the Move Over Law, drivers are required to slow down and move over a lane away from the vehicle if it’s safe to do so. Of course, many people are familiar with the laws, and others may not necessarily be breaking them on purpose. Car cabins today are made to keep outside noise to a minimum, so it was no surprise to us when we learned that many local fire departments are using horns with a deeper bass feature so drivers can feel them in addition to hearing them — if they hear them. Sometimes, it comes down to being more mindful while sharing the road with both other vehicles and the people in the big red-and-white trucks with lights flashing. Not hearing these sirens can also be attributed to car stereos or from people enjoying their music with earbuds. There is also the case of drivers distracted with their cellphones or when texting, even though it’s illegal. As the weather gets warmer, and more people will be out on the road trying to enjoy all the Island has to offer, we encourage our readers to reacquaint themselves with the rules of the road or pay closer attention to other vehicles. If you’re already well versed in the laws, have a conversation with others in your life, especially younger ones who are not as familiar with the rules. The main goal is to make it easier for our emergency workers because if it were our house or life they were saving, or that of a loved one, we would want them to get to us as quickly as possible.

Letters to the editor

Acknowledging inequality in school districts

I read with interest your editorial from April 18 — “Reform school taxes.” This is a topic about which I had written you in 2006. Nothing has changed in 13 years. It is not just that “these measures are merely band-aid solutions to a larger, chronic problem: income inequality.” While income inequality is indeed a huge problem in America, this is not the sole cause of many of the problems encountered in our public schools. These are caused principally by the mechanism of school funding and in the structure of school administration. For historical reasons, schools in the U.S. are funded primarily through property taxes, resulting in there being good school districts and bad school districts. That is, education funding and educational opportunities are zip-code dependent. Why do we tolerate this? To effect a fairer distribution of resources so that all our children have

comparable access to a quality education several steps need to be taken. First, we need to acknowledge that there is inequality in educational opportunities. Second, we need to commit to eliminating this inequality. Third, the financial underpinning of primary and secondary school must be changed. And fourth, the cost of education per se could be reduced without any loss of quality. Some solutions come immediately to mind, such as the dependence on property taxes to fund our public schools must change. All of us, not just property owners, should pay for public education, the product of which, educated children, benefits all of us. To distribute the burden more fairly, our public schools should be funded through a simple but progressive income tax. The distribution of the money so raised should be based on the number of students in a given school, the particular

needs of that set of students and the physical needs of a given school. And second, the administration of our public schools should also change. To reduce the per student cost of education without any loss of quality, we could consolidate school districts. Suffolk County has 69 school districts in 10 towns, plus charter and other schools. Of these, by my count, there are 13 school districts in Brookhaven Town. Each school district is a taxing authority and has staff redundant with neighboring districts. One school district per town should work, thereby reducing substantially the administrative costs. How much of taxpayer money would that save? Think about it. Identifying solutions to these problems is possible, but it will take politicians with leadership skills and some courage. These are characteristics uncommon in politicians simply seeking re-election. Roger Johnson East Setauket

You see so many commercials each day containing information about shelter pets, recovering patients at our local hospitals, varying ways to lose weight, but you haven’t seen us. We are the volunteers and clients of Three Village Meals on Wheels. I’m sure you know at least one volunteer or one client connected with this wonderful organization. At midday, Monday through Friday, two appetizing and nutritional meals are delivered: a hot lunch on a tray and a bag containing a cold meal. Have you ever wondered how we’re funded? We are not affiliated with the

national Meals on Wheels program. This allows us to serve clients of all ages as we do not require clients to be at least 60 years old. Since we are not connected to the federal program, we receive no federal funding. We rely strictly on fundraising to keep the program going. Many of our clients pay for their meals; however, we have more and more clients who cannot afford to pay for them, and we therefore subsidize their costs. Our main fund drive is in the fall, but we appreciate any contributions at any time. While on this subject, we would like to thank the Stony Brook Community

Church Youth Group, who recently supported our organization by hosting the Empty Bowl Soup & Bread Supper. The youth decided the profits from this night would go to support Three Village Meals on Wheels. We would love any group looking to support a local organization to consider us. Donating to us is simple. Go to our website www.3villagemealsonwheels.org and click on the “To Donate” button. We also accept checks, which can be mailed or delivered to our office at 216 Christian Ave., Stony Brook, NY 11790. Diane Melidosian Stony Brook

Thank you to Three Village Church I attended the Easter egg hunt at the Three Village Church in East Setauket, across 25A from Se-port Deli, this past Saturday. I had been to the egg hunt a few years ago when it was held outdoors, in good weather, and had wondered how the church would be able to reproduce the wonderful experience my grandchildren had that day. I was so impressed. The inside of the church’s building was transformed into a “playground” for children. There was a lovely film to explain the meaning of Easter in a way that children could easily

understand. The rooms and activities were well organized. There was a specific sequence of events for each age group which allowed the children to go from one place to another easily and stress free. So many children but no crowded or inaccessible areas. The staff was welcoming, and it was so obvious that a lot of hard work went into the planning and execution of this beautiful event. Games were set up and even a table of treats, fruit and flavored water were provided for all. In this day and age, when so many

troubling events occur around the world, the generosity of the members of this church is such a breath of fresh air. It is a reminder of the goodness of mankind and that there are still caring, thoughtful and generous people among us. This event was free and open to all who wished to come. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the people who worked so hard to give so much. You have contributed to making this world a better place. Christine Raser Lake Grove

The perfect imperfection of a posed picture

omething about a posed picture brings out the prankster in me. I realize, of course, that posed pictures can and do capture a moment when a group of people come together. In fact, I recently visited the athletic center of one of the colleges that admitted my daughter and stared, for hours, at the faces of D. None athletes over the decades who took of the above time out from their BY DANIEL DUNAIEF sports games and practices to have a picture taken. Without the uniformity and decorum, these pictures would have been a free-forall with little structure.

And yet, in my own life, I can’t help seeing the camera and the formal process as an invitation to assert my individuality or, at the very least, to force the formality off someone’s face. I can trace this back to formal extended family photo sessions we had when my brothers and I were young teenagers. Every so often, the aunts, uncles and cousins would get together. When they did, someone inevitably wanted to capture the moment for people to revisit years later, which, I guess, is around now, given how long ago the younger versions of ourselves forced a smile on our faces for those pictures. So, anyway, I remember this one picture, when I was standing between both of my brothers, which made sense at the time because I am the middle child and my younger brother hadn’t decided I stopped way too early in the height department. As the photographer was getting ready to take the picture, I reached down as subtly as I could and pinched my older brother’s thigh, causing him to grin broadly at just the right moment, if you’re me — or the wrong moment, if

you’re the photographer. To her credit, my mom kept that goofy picture because, unknown to me, the photographer had taken a head-to-toe shot that clearly showed my ﬁngers pinching my brother. When my younger brother got married, I recall my father’s extended family all trying to line up for a family photo or, as my aunt said at the time, a fa-mi-lee pho-to, as she enunciated each syllable in a way that would cause poets to cringe. She accented all of the syllables and spoke so loudly that the camera picked up her demand to get everyone in their place. Later, as we watched my brother’s wedding video, the whole family discovered an unknown treat. At some point, the videographer had clearly asked my uncle, one of the more serious and least playful people I ever met, if he had any marital advice for the newlyweds. Seated in a chair by himself, with the music playing in the background and plates of hors d’oeuvres passing in and out of the frame, he paused for a moment before looking straight at

the camera. “It’s a sense of humor,” he said, cracking the smallest of wry smiles. As my daughter and nephew prepare for their high school and college graduations, I can’t help wondering what the young men and women in the photos will be thinking when the many amateur photographers insist that they move a step to their left, lean to their right, stand up straight or open their eyes wider, no, less wide, no, wait, wider. Hopefully, my daughter and nephew will be able to look back at pictures and see something more than a group of people celebrating one moment as they prepare for the next one. Hopefully, the camera will capture something, small though it may be, that brings a smile to their faces months or years later. Maybe the perfect imperfection will transport them back to the moment someone insisted that they “give us a natural smile” on cue.

My family is celebrating big time this year

elebrations are a beautiful thing. Besides being festive, they tell us who we are, where we come from and maybe even where we are going. For example, the Fourth of July reminds us that we are Americans, Thanksgiving Day prompts stories about our history and that we have aspects of our lives to be thankful for. Religious holidays strengthen our beliefs and traditions. And the best part of celebrations can Between be that they bring us together — as you and me a nation, as sports BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF fans of a winning team, as members of a particular block or just as a family. My family looks to ceremonialize as much

and as often as we can. The month of May has been especially kind to us in that regard this year. For starters, my oldest grandson will be graduating from college in Boston in May. My granddaughter will graduate from high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, later in the month. Both have earned their next stage in life. To continue the party, my youngest son will celebrate a big birthday at the beginning of July. We try to get together for some of the Dunaief birthdays each year. And any other excuse — new job, acceptance to college, a new success at work, an honor bestowed on a member — any occasion serves. A triumph by one can be an opportunity to rejoice by all. Celebrations can establish traditions, and traditions can provide structure for each year. With such framework can come togetherness and the security of a community. The community can be as small as a family coming for Sunday dinner to eat the tomato sauce that’s been cooking slowly on the stove in grandma’s kitchen much of the day. Or it can be as large as one of the world’s great religions that transcend national

and international boundaries. A community can be of one’s sex, or age, or station, or nationality, or village, or school district or neighborhood. There is great power in community — a deﬁning and anchoring identity, a sense of inclusion. So how do most people celebrate? The answer is usually with food, but not always or only that way. For my grandson’s graduation, we will all come together in the bleachers of Fenway Park and variously cheer or boo the Red Sox, depending on our individual intelligence. We will stay in the city a couple of days and perhaps visit one of the many terriﬁc museums. Maybe we will even take a duck boat ride on the Charles River or a swan boat ride on the Boston Common or a historic walk through the many hallowed neighborhoods. Any and all of those will make for lifetime memories that will encourage us to further celebrate by making them into traditions and perhaps repeating them or recalling them with amusement whenever we get together. Common stories are part of what unite us, as a people and as a family. Oh, and there will surely be lots of seafood throughout

our stay in Beantown. In Charlotte, we will be newcomers eager to explore the new hometown for one of my sons and his dynamic family. Before they moved, we were already acquainted with how long the flight was from here to there, and which airlines made the trip. It is inherently exciting to explore a new region of the country, with its different festivities, histories and traditions — and regional foods. By now you have surely gotten the correct impression that my family enjoys traveling and celebrating on its stomach. For my youngest son’s birthday, there is always a baseball game involving us. He gets to stay up at bat as we take turns pitching to him, and he typically knocks the ball out of the park. Other times we get to chase it all over the field. Such is the privilege of the birthday kid. They are completing one stage and entering the next one, members of my family, and that is so significant as to be noticed and marked with congratulations and optimism. By celebrating together, we are saying, “Well done! And we are with you all the way.”
