Rocky Point approves budget, bond project Susan Sullivan re-elected as board of education president

By Kevin Redding

File photos above and left; photo below by Kevin Redding

Residents in the Rocky Point school district approved the budget and bond project, which will improve the high school facility, above, among other projects. The district also re-elected Susan Sullivan, left, as the BOe president, during the voting on Tuesday, below.

An affordable parent cooperative program offering classes for 3 & 4 year old children and take the wrong things out. In this case, it looks like we got the right combination.”

Sullivan was able to hear her election results without fear, cementing her position as board of education president until June 30, 2019, when she’ll be up for re-election again.

“I look forward to continuing to serve the community and seeing the fruition of what’s happening now that we passed our bond,” Sullivan said. “I’m excited about upgrading our building, our electrical systems and heating systems. Anyone who uses the buildings or grounds will benefit from upgraded air conditioning and refurbished bathrooms and locker rooms. I’m happy the bond was passed; it shows the support we usually get from our community here.”

With 40 years of service to the district as an employee, 32 as a teacher and eight as a high school administrator on top of the three years serving on the board, it’s no surprise Sullivan had no one to campaign against.

“Mrs. Sullivan has been a very strong and positive leader in the district,” Ring said. “She has such a strong institutional knowledge of the district that when she sits down at the table, she knows all of the history of the town and she’s so well known in the community. She has a lot of strength and leadership because people trust her.”

The votes are in, and Rocky Point school district’s $80.6 million budget passed with 720 residents in favor and 322 against, along with a proposed bond on capital projects with 654 in favor and 387 against.

Board of Education President Susan Sullivan, who ran unopposed after three years in the position, was re-elected with 823 votes.

According to Superintendent of Schools Michael Ring, passing the budget will help maintain the district’s instructional, athletic and co-curricular programs, as well as enhance them, including the addition of advanced placement courses and staff members, for starters. He insisted that with only a 0.75 percent increase in the tax levy and a 2.34 percent increase in the budget, leaving the budget within the 0.12 percent tax cap, the district has been able to keep everything stable, which will benefit both students and parents alike.

The bond — proposed by the Facilities Subcommittee to “repair, replace and rejuvenate” — focuses on making improvements to the district’s facilities, which include installing energy-efficient lights, replacing old boilers, renovating bathrooms and fixing the parking lots, among other projects. It was initially unclear if the bond would resonate with the public, because at face value it means more money to be spent, and it’s difficult to get everyone educated on the different projects being proposed.

In fact, the proposal didn’t pass last year.

But with tweaks, removing extra projects like artificial turf for the varsity baseball and softball fields and outside bathrooms, the bond became less demanding and expensive.

“I’m happy the bond passed,” Ring said.

“With bonds, you never know. You don’t pass them that frequently, [whereas] you do budgets every year and Rocky Point has a very rich history of overwhelmingly supporting school budgets. But bonds have gone either way in this community. You hope that when you prepare them and when you publicize them — when you have your hearings — that you’ve heard what the public has said and you put the right things in

We’ve been nicknamed “the best kept secret” in town.

Mount Sinai’s budget passes with low turnout

By Desirée Keegan Mount Sinai has made it past another school budget vote.

The district overwhelmingly approved the $58,054,485 budget proposal in Proposition I, with 1,150 in favor to 275 against. Proposition II, $1,822,560 for library services offered by the Port Jefferson and Comsewogue libraries, also passed with a vote of 1,266 to 159. Despite the good news for the district, Superintendent Gordon Brosdal said he would’ve liked to see more community members involved.

“I’m not so pleased with the turnout since we have 9,500 registered voters and annually we bring around 1,500 and we’re even a little below that,” he said. “That’s a little disappointing when you have five good people

‘I’m not so pleased with the turnout. We have 9,500 registered voters and annually we bring around 1,500.’

— Gordon Brosdal running for the board.”

Five candidates were running for two seats.

Lynn Jordan, who was running for reelection, earned her seat back with 726 of the votes.

“It shows that people have been satisfied with what I’ve been doing,” she said of being re-elected. “It’s a true honor to serve, and I love the work.”

Brosdal said he is happy to have her back.

“Lynn Jordan worked very hard and I think it shows,” he said. “She’s proven herself and has been in the district a long time; she’s a long-time resident, so I’m very pleased.”

As for the empty seat, Shoreham Elementary School teacher Kerri Anderson beat out Anthony DiPaola, who received 584 votes, Michael McGuire, who received 387 votes, and Robert McGrath, who received 220 votes, by finishing with the most votes of all the candidates, with 733.

And she’s ready.

She’s been teaching full-day kindergarten for several years now, and said she knew the importance and the positive effects its brings.

Brosdal said that’s why, with Anderson’s help, they advocated for the program last year.

said. “She has always been supportive, advocating for the program because we got a lot of push-back on that. I think Kerri is going to fit right in.”

Brosdal said he finds Jordan and Anderson easy to work with, and said that although he was impressed with his first board when he came to Mount Sinai, he thinks this one has the potential to be just as successful.

“It takes just a few people to throw the board off-balance, and I think look at the board now it’s as strong,” he said. “Everyone has a great capability of working together.”

Miller Place passes budget, incumbent trustees re-elected By aLex PetrosKi Miller Place community members who went to the polls had a fairly easy decision Tuesday night.

The district’s $70.6 million budget for the 2016-17 school year passed with 1,064 votes for and 236 against. The budget is about $600,000 higher than the current school year’s budget, and maintains all educational and extracurricular programs and funding.

Despite the increase, residents will actually pay slightly less in taxes next year, thanks to a tax levy decrease of 0.14 percent.

District Superintendent Marianne Higuera said, during a budget meeting in February, the district’s goal was to adopt a budget that maintained all educational and extracurricular activities present in the 201516 budget, and the community approved a budget which does just that. Higuera said in

a phone interview that she was proud to be a part of accomplishing that difficult task.

“I’m very appreciative of the confidence Miller Place school district residents have in our school board and administration,” she said.

Higuera wasn’t alone in thanking district residents Wednesday.

“I’d like to thank the Miller Place and Sound Beach community for passing our budget at an 82 percent approval,” said Johanna Testa, who was re-elected as board president for a second term Tuesday, said in an email. “The budget is under the tax cap, lowered taxes and maintained all existing programs. I think this is the first time this has been done in Miller Place.”

Trustee Noelle Dunlop also retained her seat, joining the victorious Testa to defeat challengers Michael Manspeizer and Michael Unger. Testa received 876 votes, Dunlop 737, Unger 533 and Manspeizer 198. Unger pre-

viously served as the district’s school board president from 2009 to 2015, while Manspeizer was a trustee for the 2013-14 school year.

Testa, who works as a credit representative for the Yaphank recycling and sanitation company Maggio Environmental, thanked the community for choosing her for a second term.

“I am very appreciative and excited that Noelle Dunlop and I were re-elected for a second term,” she said. “We both look forward to working with our board to continue to move our district forward in a positive direction. We are very fortunate to live in a community with so many involved and concerned residents.”

Dunlop, a mother of two Miller Place students with a third to begin kindergarten in the fall, also expressed excitement for the opportunity to continue working with Testa and the rest of the board.

“I’m honored that Miller Place and Sound

Beach residents re-elected me and want me to continue as a steward of our district,” Dunlop said. “Our board is a strong team and I’m confident that we will work together with our capable administration to bring positive changes to Miller Place.”

Unger said in an email he was disappointed by the outcome but respected the process.

“The community made a decision yesterday and I wish the district well moving forward,” he said. “I offer thanks to those that supported me throughout this effort.”

Manspeizer could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Voters also approved a second proposition, which will allow residents within the district the benefit of full library services, thanks to an agreement reached with the Comsewogue Public Library and Port Jefferson Free Library.

The proposition will cost the district just over $2 million for the 2016-17 school year.

Comsewogue proves too much for Miller Place

By Bill landon Miller Place struggled to keep pace with host Comsewogue’s baseball team, as the Warrior bats did the talking in their Class A opening-round playoffs Tuesday afternoon. The Panthers tied the game, 1-1, early on, but No.-2 seeded and 13-5 Comsewogue showed why it’s the League VI champion, as the team wore down No. 7 Miller Place’s defense and put its opponent away 8-2.

“They’re a tough team, but we came out and played great,” Comsewogue catcher Justin Virga said.

“We hit the ball well, played great defense behind our pitcher and we pulled out a win. Today was a hard-fought game.”

Comsewogue wasted no time.

Jake Sardinia drew a walk that moved teammate John Braun over to second base, as Jordan Lisco stepped into the batters’ box. Lisco drilled a ground ball through the gap that brought Braun home for the early lead.

“Today we hit the ball, played defense and that’s all you can do,” Lisco said. “We hit the ball with runners on base, which is something we’ve struggled with.”

The Panthers answered back in the top of the second when Cole Francis, on a passed ball at the plate, advanced to third base.

Teammate Kevin Kelleher layed

down a perfect bunt that plated Francis to tie the game.

Comsewogue bats cracked in the bottom of the inning, and Bryan Hurley drove the ball through the gap, sending David Heller, the go-ahead run, to second. With Joseph Ciancarelli at the plate, a passed ball moved both base runners into scoring position. Ciancarelli chopped an infield dribbler and Heller came sliding home, eluding the tag, for the 2-1 advantage. With Hurley on third, Ciancarelli stole second and Braun smacked the ball deep through the infield, bringing Hurley home for a 3-1 lead with one out in the bottom of the third. Then, Ciancarelli found his way home on a sacrifice fly for a three-run lead.

“They came fired up on their home field, so they weren’t just going to give it to us,” Miller Place head coach Rick Caputo said.

“Honestly, I’m disappointed in the way my guys played. I think we missed a lot of opportunities, I think we played our worst game of the year and we saved it for the first round of the playoffs.”

Miller Place threatened in the top of the third inning when Matt Paghidas and Tyler Schrimpf advanced to second and third, respectively, on another passed ball.

Schrimpf crossed home plate to make it a two-run game, but that was all the team could muster.

The Panthers pressured again in the top of the fifth with base runners at the corners, but the

runner on first stretched his lead a little too far, and Comsewogue picked him off before an infield pop-up retired the side.

With runners on first and third, the Warriors looked to put the game away in the bottom of the sixth inning when Ciancarelli chopped an infield heater to bring Hurley home for a 5-2 lead.

Miller Place made a pitching change as Christian McPartland relieved Thomas Bell on the mound the rest of the way.

“My control wasn’t there all game — my curveball started working later in the game, but they’re a great hitting team and they were putting the ball in play and making things happen,” Bell said.

It was a busy sixth inning for the Warriors, and they weren’t finished yet. Mike Stiles proved he was as deadly at the plate as he was from the mound, and ripped a fastball deep into the outfield, bringing Ciancarelli and Sardinia home with a stand-up double to break the game open, 7-2.

“I knew they were a good hitting team, so I had to get ahead, mix up my pitches and it worked out in the end,” Stiles said. “We hit the ball pretty well, we played pretty good defense — it was a little sloppy in the beginning, but I

knew the team had my back.”

Lisco brought Stiles home with a deep sacrifice fly for a six-run lead.

With gas left in the tank, Stiles made short work of the Panthers in the final inning, retiring the side in order for the victory.

“We swung the bats well today, so I was pleased with how we hit the ball and as the game went on, we protected our lead,” Comsewogue head coach Mike Bonura said. “I wasn’t happy with our defense — we booted the ball around early in the game, which is uncharacteristic for us, because we’ve been throwing the ball and fielding the ball well all year. Mike [Stiles] did a great job for us.”

With the loss, Miller Place moved down to the losers bracket, and traveled to No. 3 Sayville to take on the Golden Flashes on Wednesday with the hope of keeping their playoff goals alive, but results were not available by press time.

Shoreham holds car wash for Cutinella fund

By Bill landon Tom Cutinella remains an integral part of the Shoreham-Wading River community.

On May 15, the boys’ lacrosse team held its second annual car wash to honor its fallen friend and teammate, who died following a head-on collision with an opposing player on the football field in 2014.

The event kicked off at the Wading River School — veterans and seniors could get their cars cleaned free of charge, and there was a suggested donation of $5.40 in recognition of Cutinella’s retired No. 54 jersey. All proceeds went to the Thomas Cutinella Memorial Foundation, which awards scholarships to Shoreham-Wading River and other Suffolk County seniors who meet the eligibility guidelines, which can be found at www.tom54.org.

Event organizer and Wading River resident Paul Curran, whose son Jason was a teammate of Cutinella’s, said the turnout was a testament to the respect the area has for Cu-

tinella’s legacy, especially with so many kids pitching in to help out.

“With Thomas, veterans and seniors were two groups that were especially close to his heart — he was that way from a very young age,” Paul Curran said. “He was close to his grandmother who lived with him, which had a lot to do with it, and they’re a very closeknit family.”

Shoreham-Wading River senior Jon Constant said his teammates just want to continue to do things in their friend’s memory, and that’s what made the car wash easy to put together.

“We just wanted to help out the community, and the car wash seemed — Jon Constant to be the right thing to do,” he said. “Keeping his memory alive is important because he was a great kid and we’ll never forget him.”

Constant said the washing started at 9 a.m., and by noon the kids had been cleaning nonstop.

“Who knows the number of cars we’ve washed, but we want to keep it hot,” he said.

‘Keeping his memory alive is important because he was a great kid and we’ll never forget him.’

Three hours into the event, Curran said that although seniors and veterans could get their cars washed for free — and many came through the line — everyone wanted to contribute $5.40.

According to Curran, in addition to the scholarships given out each year, the foundation also donates to traumatic brain injury research.

Manning the rinse team was Wading River resident Brian Sheehan, a family friend whose son Chris also played with Cutinella. Brian Sheehan said the event is a great way to honor Cutinella’s memory and keep his legacy alive. “[We do] anything to keep Thomas’ name at the top of everyone’s mind — it’s a privilege to be part of this annual event,” he said. “This is the second year and I plan to participate as long as I live in this community. It’s a great way to keep Thomas in our hearts and to raise money at the same time.”

Curran said last years’ event raised more than $2,500. This year, there was a similar turnout, which he said is a reflection of the

community.

“Word of mouth is what drives this — social media and the youth leagues — and once it goes through there, you have hundreds of families,” he said.

This year, the event raised more than $2,000.

“I just think it’s a great way to show support for Tom and it’s a great way for [everyone] to come together and show their support, and we have fun doing it,” said senior Chris Rosati, another teammate of Cutinella’s.

“This is definitely very important. It shows our support for him, which has a great impact on the community.”

Kevin Cutinella, Thomas’ younger brother, said that along with keeping the memory of his brother alive, the community outpouring inspires his family.

“It means a lot to us that people are doing this without us telling them to do it, to keep Tom’s memory alive,” Kevin Cutinella said. “It means a lot to our family, it brings smiles to our faces and it keeps us there as a family.”

Below, D’Antonio, his wife Cheryl and Bonner sail on the open seas, which is where Bonner told her friend she’d like to help him. to her husband across the boat. “I’m going to give Tommy a kidney!”

That was all the discussion the Bonners needed, which D’Antonio said was apropos of their relationship.

“Once I make up my mind, I’m pretty steadfast and determined,” Bonner said. “I’m a big believer in God having a plan.”

On April 26, Bonner donated her left kidney to D’Antonio in what she called a “minor surgery” at New York Presbyterian Hospital.

As that master plan has played out since, Bonner said doctors discovered two precancerous polyps that were about two years away from manifesting into colon cancer during the litany of tests she had to undergo in preparation for the donation.

D’Antonio said he’s not sure what his outlook would have been if Bonner hadn’t of-

“I know that right now I wouldn’t be feeling as good as I’m feeling,” he said. “I was to the point, the week of and the week before the surgery, if I walked a block I’d have to stop and rest. It’s like a slow, miserable, downward spiral.”

Bonner has since shared news about the transplant on social media using the hashtag #ShareTheSpare, and plans to advocate for programs like the Kidney Paired Donation Pilot Program, which is managed by the United Network for Organ Sharing and is an option for patients with a living donor who is not a match.

“It’s more dangerous to drive to work every day than it is to live with one kidney,” Bonner said. “There’s no greater gift to give than the gift of life.”

Bonner, who missed just eight days of work, has been hesitant and uncomfortable with the baskets, flowers and cards she’s received since the surgery.

“There’s like this common element that runs through people who do that,” D’Antonio said. “They’re all like ‘it’s a no brainer.’ Clearly it’s more than that. That’s the thing that’s hard to express in words — how that makes you feel.”

D’Antonio shared what he said to Bonner in response to that hesitancy to accept thanks or praise.

“Get used to it.”

Stony Brook University offers all-gender restrooms to students

By Phil Corso Stony Brook University is steps ahead of the nation on its public restroom policies.

Last week, President Barack Obama (D) required all public schools to provide restroom facilities for all students, including those who identify as transgender. But at Stony Brook, plans are already in place to accommodate students of any identification, making it the first school in the SUNY system to offer up all-gender restrooms and changing rooms.

Timothy Ecklund, dean of students at SBU, said the university introduced a draft diversity plan in December in an attempt to attack persistent issues of inequality affecting society as a whole. In an interview, he said the university’s plan to address gender and inequality, specifically pertaining to the transgender community, included requiring all new and renovated buildings on campus to have all-gender restrooms included in construction plans and installing at least one all-gender restroom in each existing campus building.

“As long as we have transgender people at our university, our perspective is they’re a member of our community and we need to support them,” he said.

Ecklund said Stony Brook University has a total of 24 all-gender restrooms, including three recently reassigned restrooms in its Student Activities Center building, which have multi-stall facilities.

“When we changed our restrooms to all-gender in the Student Activities Center,

the feedback from our students was overwhelmingly supportive and positive,” he said. “I spend a lot of time on campus and I see students in and out of the restrooms there without any hesitation. It’s not an issue, for our students, at least.”

As for the students’ perspective, sophomore Sydney Gaglio, president of the campus’ Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Alliance, said the all-gender restroom discussion was long overdue, as it has always been a primary concern of her group.

“We are of course super excited about the all-gender restrooms on campus and it is definitely a point of pride on our campus,” she said in an interview. “As students, there has been some concern mentioned in that when it comes to social media sites like Yik Yak, where things are anonymous, commentary on the all-gender restroom policy on campus can get extremely transphobic, hurtful and invalidating. So there is concern for student health because of social stigma but, all in all, the conversation from members of LGBTA centers on excitement and validation.”

The issue has become a hot topic across the North Shore and greater United States.

Last month, Port Jefferson school board members approved a policy for how district officials should interact with and accommodate transgender students, including on the way those students are referenced in school records and what bathroom and locker room facilities they can use. Other school districts on the North Shore have also tried to make rules for transgender students in recent years,

stony Brook University is making it a priority to place all-gender restrooms in new building projects across campus. but faced backlash from the community.

“Gender-specific restrooms still exist and if you feel more comfortable in those spaces, then that is OK,” Gaglio said. “But things like going to the restroom are personal things; let people do their business in peace and you do yours in peace and everyone will be happy.

Allow people to occupy the space in which they feel comfortable in.”

But the university’s support for all of its students does not stop at the label on a bathroom door, the dean said.

media

Ecklund said the university is home to a number of transgender students, and the school is taking strides to accommodate them and be sensitive to their preferences.

“We are working now as a university at providing the opportunity for our transgender students to change their names,” he said. “We’re trying to make sure the places at which their names are present — especially on a daily basis — they’re able to use the name they prefer or the name that they have taken.”

Out of sight: Eye-tracking device changes vet’s life

By Phil Corso Two eyes and an iPad are all Vietnam veteran John Cincar needs to completely transform his day-to-day life.

Cincar, a resident at Stony Brook’s Long Island State Veterans Home, lost his ability to move his arms and hands, but only needs his eyes to operate a $12,000 iPad the home helped him secure this week as part of its mission to enhance residents’ independence. With help from the device and the home, Cincar said he could open the door to a world he had not been able to access on his own for years. By looking at control keys or cells displayed on the iPad screen, he can generate speech, activate functions such as turning on a light or television, and even surf the internet.

“It’s very easy for me to use,” he said. “It does everything. I can get in touch with the world again.”

The eye-tracking device, which the veterans home referred to as an “eye gazer,” was a by-product of a donation from Bowlers to Veterans Link Chairman John LaSpina, a Long Island native and owner of various bowling alleys across the Island. The BVL is a not-for-profit organization that works to support American veterans, raises about $1 million per year through bowlers and bowling centers nationwide, and has a working relationship with the Long Island State Veterans Home, LaSpina said.

“An opportunity like this just seemed so incredibly great that we couldn’t say no to it,” he said. “We’re talking about a facility totally dedicated to veterans. The place is immaculately clean. They do wonderful things.”

The BVL donation to the Long Island State Veterans Home was made possible from the proceeds of the “PBA50 Johnny Petraglia BVL Open,” which was held at the Farmingdale Lanes this month.

With the Vietnam era now more than four decades old, the Long Island State Veterans Home has been seeing more veterans who served in that war coming through its doors. And with each war comes a different kind of ailment that staff must combat.

“Many of these guys, their brains are fully intact, but their bodies are shot.

Photos from long island state Veterans home

left and above, John Cincar accepts and uses an eye-tracking iPad device.

They’re trapped,” said Jonathan Spier, deputy executive director for the Long Island State Veterans Home.

Just five years ago, Spier said, the home had only two Vietnam veterans living there. That number skyrocketed to more than 50 by 2016, he said, with former combat men suffering from specific injuries like exposure to Agent Orange and other muscle-related difficulties.

Fred Sganga, executive director of the veterans home, said the addition of the eyetracking device only furthered his group’s

mission to enhance the quality of life of more than 6,000 Long Island veterans.

“The goal is to maximize every veteran’s independence,” he said. “We want to be strategically ready for the next generation of veterans coming here, and this technology is transformational for someone who is a paraplegic.”

When asked how he planned on harnessing the power of the iPad to his benefit, Cincar said he hopes to study new languages, like Romanian — the language of the land he was born in.

Law lowers whooping cough rates for infants

By Phil Corso A young state law is already breathing new life into the number of newborns burdened with whooping cough.

It has been three years since state Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) saw his Neonatal Infant Pertussis Act signed into law, and last week, members of the Pediatric Academic Societies said it’s already paying off, by reducing infections 50 percent.

Both Englebright and Dr. Shetal Shah, who worked alongside the lawmaker in 2012 as a member of the neonatal intensive care unit at Stony Brook University, heralded the legislation as an effective measure to keep newborns healthy across New York State.

Englebright wrote the NPPA with Shah’s help, requiring Tdap, a vaccine against whooping cough, be offered to parents and caregivers in contact with a newborn during birth hospitalization as a way to promote “cocoon” immunity for the infant, according to Shah. Five months later the legislation was signed into law by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), codifying Shah’s idea into law.

“That year, the New York Department of Health had already reported a three-fold increase in whooping cough since the previous year,” Englebright said. “It is gratifying to learn that this law is working and that children are being protected from whooping cough.”

Whooping cough, also known as pertussis, starts with “cold-like” symptoms such as fever, sneezing or a runny nose. It may then morph into a mild cough, which becomes more severe in the first or second week.

The NPPA fight started in 2012 when Shah reached out to Englebright’s office with an idea that he said could prevent whooping cough in newborns. In a statement, Shah said newborns are typically the most at risk of serious illness or death if infected. But with help from Englebright’s legislation, vaccinations have been effective in combatting the infection.

Using the New York Communicable Disease Electronic Surveillance System, Heather L. Brumberg from Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital, and her colleagues, obtained data from 2010 to 2015 on pertussis cases and hospitalizations for 57 New York counties outside of the city. In addition, they used state population rates in 2011 and 2013 to determine the incidence per 100,000.

During the study period, 6,086 cases of pertussis were detected, 68.8 percent of which occurred before the law passed and 31.2 percent of which occurred after. Overall, the pertussis incidence rate decreased from 37.3 to 19.9, per 100,000 children.

For children aged younger than 1 year old, pertussis incidence decreased from 304 per 100,000 children to 165 per 100,000, and pertussis hospitalization decreased from 104 to 63, per 100,000 children. The NPPA was associated with these reductions, especially for those at high-risk, the researchers wrote.

“The data shows that passage of the Neonatal Infant Pertussis Act [NPPA] was associated with a reduced incidence of disease in children in each age group studied,” said Shah, who now works at Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital of the Westchester Medical Center Health Network. “This is associative, as we were unable to track actual parental and caregiver Tdap immunization rates.”

Whooping cough vaccine is a five-shot series that is recommended for children at 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15 to 18 months, and again at 4 to 6 years of age.

The pertussis vaccine is short-lived and can wear off within a decade, so some people who were immunized as children are no longer protected in adolescence or adulthood unless they get another booster shot.

“This should provide some degree of scientific impetus to other states and counties to consider this measure as part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce whooping cough,” Shah said.

County exec. joins chorus calling for Spota resignation

Photo by Alex Petroski

Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone calls on district attorney Tom Spotta to step down.

By AlEx PETroSki A high stakes political finger pointing battle is ramping up in Suffolk County.

Top Suffolk County officials have been left to answer for the promotion of former Chief of Police James Burke, who in February pleaded guilty to charges of a civil rights violation and conspiracy to obstruct justice, which occurred following the arrest of Smithtown man Christopher Loeb in 2012.

Last Tuesday, Legislator Rob Trotta (R-Fort Salonga) held a press conference at the Suffolk County Legislature in Riverhead where he and fellow legislators, including Tom Cilmi (RBay Shore) and Kevin McCaffrey (R-Lindenhurst), called for both County Executive Steve Bellone (D) and District Attorney Tom Spota (D) to resign from their positions.

On Thursday, Bellone joined the list of people including the legislators and Suffolk County Sheriff Vincent DeMarco calling for Spota to resign.

“For refusing to cooperate and work with federal law enforcement to prosecute crime in this county, for refusing and blocking federal law enforcement who were working on the Gilgo Beach serial murder case, for allowing violent criminals to go free to protect political friends, for lying about Jim Burke and conspiring to conceal his past …” Bellone said Thursday afternoon on the steps of Spota’s Hauppauge office. “Tom Spota, you must resign from this office so that we can begin the process of reforming this place governmentally and politically in a way that we can ensure this doesn’t happen again. If you fail to do so, I will call on the governor to exercise his authority under the constitution to remove you from this office.”

Trotta arrived while Bellone addressed the media, and interjected that reporters were speaking with a “co-conspirator.”

Trotta reiterated his stance on Thursday that Bellone is as much a part of the political corruption problem in the county as Spota for his role in promoting Burke, and standing by him despite evidence of Burke’s troubled past.

“I have never said that I have never made mistakes in my public career,” Bellone said. “I’ve made many mistakes. But they have never, ever been with ill intent and I’ve learned from my mistakes and I don’t repeat them. When I promoted Jim Burke, I consulted District Attorney Tom Spota. When I fired Jim Burke, I did not consult Tom Spota.”

Bellone said he promoted Burke not because of recommendations from Spota or others, but because he was a “charismatic” and “impressive” person who made a memorable presentation.

Bellone handed a letter calling for Spota’s resignation to one of his employees inside the office, and Spota met the media later Thursday to respond.

“It’s a very, very difficult day for me,” Spota said in a video of that press conference. “He has delivered to me a letter asking for my resignation. I have absolutely no reason why I should resign, or should I be removed from office.”

Spota fired back at Bellone, suggesting his motivation was a “personal vendetta” against Spota for investigating and prosecuting people Bellone was close to.

On Tuesday, Bellone responded to Trotta, Cilmi and McCaffrey’s calls for his resignation through an email from a spokeswoman.

“Rob Trotta and Tom Cilmi are partisan politicians who just don’t get it,” the statement said. “This is not a partisan issue; this is about sweeping out a culture of abuse and corruption in the district attorney’s office. I regret that I trusted the word of the district attorney regarding Jim Burke, and I have learned from that error in judgment.”

Trotta made it clear following Bellone’s comments that the county executive should not be let off the hook.

“It was an Academy Award-winning performance,” Trotta said of Bellone’s press conference. “Forty-eight hours ago we were partisan, and we were political hacks. Now all of the sudden he responds to a Newsday article, he sees what’s going on and he tries to jump in front of it. It’s ridiculously absurd …

He’s a total, unadulterated liar.”

OpiniOn Letters to the editor

Editorial

Give it a rest on restrooms

Speaking for a brighter future A great wave of interest is engulfing the Shoreham-Wading River area. The governor has proposed a $1 million study to construct a deep-water port, bridge or tunnel at the LIPA power plant site in Shoreham. The last time a New York governor proposed development at this site, it cost tax payers billions of dollars for the now decommissioned Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant, leaving LIPA/PSEG ratepayers with an $8 billion debt that is included every month as part of our electric bill. The last thing we need is another billion-dollar mistake, in addition to losing our rapidly disappearing and environmentally sensitive wetlands.

The North Shore wetlands not only provide natural habitat and buffer for the area, but also uniquely define the character of the Shoreham-Wading River community. Close to half of Long Island’s wetlands have disappeared. According to a study by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, from the 1970s to the 2000s, over 7,800 acres of all Long Island tidal wetlands — nearly a third of the island’s wetlands — have been lost to development. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been invested towards protecting Long Island’s coastal wetlands, but now big money wants another bite at Shoreham. It is shameful that hidden agendas keep communities in the dark, while big money profits at our expense.

The community must be given a voice. If change is destined for the area, all stakeholders must be at the table. That is how democracy works. To bring in big ideas that will dramatically change communities without community input or knowledge is unfair, not only to the local area that will be directly affected, but to everyone who pays their taxes and expects government to work for them.

Shoreham has been the location of many historical projects, including the renowned Tesla Tower, which was created by Nikola Tesla to produce free electricity. The site has been acquired by the notfor-profit Friends of Nikola Tesla, which has global support to restore the site and create a science museum. The museum is one of many local attractions that support our invaluable tourism economy.

The recent 60-acre S-Power solar farm in Shoreham has replaced the local sod farm with solar panels, and a 150-acre solar farm is progressing at Shoreham’s Tallgrass Golf Course. Now another mega solar farm is being considered on the 700 acre National Grid property in the Shoreham-Wading River area. Three hundred acres of trees may be replaced with thousands of solar panels.

You may ask, why so many solar farms? LIPA

needs additional power to supply Long Island during peak-use. They do not want to build an additional $2 billion Caithness power plant, and by tapping into large solar, they hope to gain additional power. The problem is, our electric rates are not going down, they’re going up, because the deals with large solar companies cost more per kilowatt hour.

In addition, the large solar farms are filling the electrical storage capacity of the substations, preventing local residents from having the opportunity to put solar on their roofs.

I’m a strong advocate for solar energy, but solar should create a local benefit by being placed on the roofs of residential homes, commercial buildings, schools and on brownfields. With the recent end to LIPA’s residential solar rebate program and the support of out-of-state solar companies taking over our communities, LIPA and PSEG need to rethink how they meet our energy needs. The local voice must be part of the future energy vision, and our energy oversight departments, including the Public Service Commission and the Department of Public Service, must focus on the greater good for all residents, and not on big solar gaining big profits at our expense.

Long before communities started talking about transgender people using bathrooms of the genders they identify with, our society has operated on a policy of privates being private. When someone walks into a male or female bathroom, no one already inside asks to inspect appendages or for legal proof of sex. And if urinators use separate, closed stalls, why does it matter what organs they have?

This apparently does matter for some, given the debates taking place on our local, state and national levels regarding transgender people and which bathrooms are safe or appropriate for them to use.

Those debates, however, often lose sight of common sense.

There are those who want to prohibit anyone from using a restroom built for the sex other than the one they are legally labeled with, usually citing fear of predators posing as transgender to gain access to a different bathroom for nefarious purposes.

We would like to ask those people two things: When has a legal limitation stopped a pervert from doing perverted things, and why would someone pretend to be transgender for a long period of time, enduring common things like public humiliation and bullying, just to one day enter a bathroom of the opposite sex and attack someone?

If the latter were ever to occur, it would certainly be a rare instance — too rare to make the legislation, which is impossible to enforce, worth the cost of further alienating a group that is already marginalized and just wants to be accepted for who they are.

It’s not like transgender people are using a toilet in front of others. In women’s public bathrooms, there are only private stalls, and a female transitioning to male would still use a stall in a men’s public bathroom.

The least controversial solution is, of course, to have only unisex, single-person bathrooms. To that end, we would encourage developers on new projects, wherever possible, to construct those kinds of bathrooms as opposed to shared bathrooms. They are simply more comfortable for everyone anyway — who doesn’t like to be alone in a bathroom?

But that isn’t necessarily a feasible fix for existing public spaces, not that we think they need to be fixed in the first place. In fact, the argument of transgender people using specific bathrooms opening a door for perverts reminds us of people who once feared homosexuals, contending that they were more likely to be pedophiles than heterosexuals.

The details are different but the message is the same — they seem to think accommodating or accepting LGBT people will put their society at risk.

We need to move forward in our thinking and understand that transgender people want the same thing in a public bathroom that the rest of us want: to pee in peace. Let’s not start a war over public toilets.

League to discuss electoral process for presidential election This year’s primary season has involved voters as never before. Many questions have been asked about how the process works, and the League of Women Voters of Brookhaven has announced a free event to learn more about them.

On Wednesday, May 25, at 7 p.m. at the Patchogue-Medford Library, Neil Buffett, assistant professor of history, and Nicholas

Giordano, assistant professor of political science, both of Suffolk County Community College, will speak about the electoral process by which presidential candidates are selected: What is the difference between an open and closed primary and a caucus; how are delegates selected; what are super delegates; what is a contested or brokered convention; and what is the role

of the independent voter in the process?

The League is and has always been nonpartisan and nonprofit and is sponsoring this free event, in conjunction with the Patchogue-Medford Library, as a service to the general public. All are welcome.

Nancy Marr, president Joan Nickeson, member League of Women Voters

opinion Let’s get serious about smartphones

I

can’t see anything up close with my glasses on and I can’t see anything at a distance with my glasses off. I know, I know, welcome to getting old.

Well, I’d like to give that aging process a big fat Bronx cheer.

But, wait, technology can come to the rescue. No, I’m not talking about laser surgery and I’m not looking for a special blended form of bifocal,

By Daniel Dunaief trifocal or whatever. No, you see, technology makes it possible for me to use my state-of-the-art smartphone without needing to see it.

“Siri, send a text message to my wife,” I can say.

D. None of the above

To which the automatic voice activation feature will reply, “What is your wife’s name?” And then, when I don’t reply in time, the voice will say, “I’m not sure what you said there.”

But assuming Siri and I can get on the same page about the desired recipient of my intended message, I can start talking into the phone and she will take dictation. No need for an administrative assistant like Mrs. Wiggins, courtesy of Carol Burnett, to take a memo.

Except that, like Mrs. Wiggins, there are some potential comedic kinks in the system. For one thing, whenever I start a text or email with the word Hi, Siri only seems to hear the letter “I.” My texts start out with “I Dr. Smith.” It’s a poor start to have a missing letter at the beginning of a text or email that I can’t check because I can’t see well with my glasses on and I can’t take my glasses off in that moment.

While Siri gets most of the words

right, sometimes she struggles with grammar and words that are pronounced alike — such as to, too and two. Or what I mumble. I admit that I don’t always speak clearly. In fact, when I say, “This is Dan,” people sometimes hear, “This is Stan,” because I don’t pause long enough before saying my name.

I was discussing this problem with a friend of mine, who spends a considerable number of hours in the car each week, traveling from one job to another. He said he dictates emails and text messages on his phone constantly to make use of his travel time.

“Hey, be careful when you’re dictating, particularly when you’re driving,” he cautioned.

“Why?” I asked.

“Well, you know that thing picks up everything you say, right?”

“Yeah?” I asked, tilting my head to the side and waiting for a punch line.

“The other day I was driving and

I sent an email that went something like this: “Dear Mr. Jones, I got your response to my invoice and … oh, so you thought cutting me off in my lane was a good idea? And you didn’t even use your blinker.

Where’d you get your license? … I was wondering if we might discuss the additional cost of gas which, as you know, is … that’s how I would drive if I had a death wish, too … climbing. Anyway, I’m happy to discuss by phone or at a … thanks for sharing your music with us. That’s what we all want to hear when we’re at a traffic light, your music.

Isn’t that how we got some dictators to surrender, by playing that kind of music outside their presidential estates? … meeting. OK, so give me a call when you have a chance.”

While he said that was a slight exaggeration, he realized something was amiss when someone wrote back, “OK, next time I’ll use my blinker.”

an unwelcome but nonetheless real technique in business. These creditors of American debt would include other nations, as well as widows and orphans who buy U.S. government bonds because they believe in our creditworthiness — our honor to repay. People who cannot repay, while they no longer are imprisoned in a jail, are imprisoned by their actions. They are never trusted to the same extent again, and if they have to borrow in the future they pay a significantly higher rate of interest on the borrowed money, if they can get a loan at all.

The same holds for nations. Those countries whose economies crashed have had to pay exorbitant interest on their bonds to entice new capital, and their people have been impoverished in the long run, leading to disastrous social unrest. History is rife with such examples.

So what is a person, whose intentions at the time of borrowing were honorable but whose circumstances have dramatically changed through no fault of his or her own, to do with that debt? Borrowers may lose their jobs; they or a family member may get

sick and require ruinous financial support; insurance on property or health may be insufficient or nonexistent — and so forth. As the expression goes, “life happens.”

Most commonly, the terms of repayment can be changed. A longer time in which to repay the borrowed money can be arranged, allowing the borrower a chance to recover from whatever the disaster. This lowers the monthly rate of repayment although it does increase the total cost of the debt. But it does preserve creditworthiness — and reputation. That solution only works, however, if there are good prospects down the line and a willingness on the part of the debtors to assume responsibility for their actions. In circumstances where there is no hope for recovery, then bankruptcy is the only choice.

But the idea of those who know how to play the system bouncing from one loan to the next with little consequence is unacceptable and makes fools of us all. And those who make a business out of helping such individuals run off with other people’s money are worse yet.

Repaying debts with honor

D

oes it annoy you too when the pitchman in the commercial urges negotiating with your credit card company, with the advertiser’s help of course, to pay less than you owe? It’s the same message when it comes to “settling” with the IRS. “You don’t have to pay all that you owe,”

By Leah S. Dunaief encourages the adman’s voice. “Call us and we’ll reduce your amount to a third without bankruptcy.”

What about us poor schnooks who paid every last penny of what we owed? Were we incredibly stupid when we could have gotten off with far less cost? Maybe it’s only the rich who pay everything they owe, but I know that’s not true. Men and women will work two and three jobs to be able to meet their expenses, especially

Between you and me

those incurred for their children. They must not know that all they had to do was run up the bills — the higher, the better — then declare that they couldn’t afford them, and they would get a reduction of their debt.

What has happened to honor?

Maybe it is just those of us of a certain age who still carry these old-fashioned ideas in our heads. “Pay as you go” was my parents’ adage. The idea of a credit card puzzled them. If you couldn’t afford to buy a car when you wanted one, then wait until you had the money and you could buy it. Delayed gratification was admired. They were even dubious about a mortgage, although that became the American way after World War II. But the thought of not honoring one’s debts was anathema. In essence you gave your word when you accepted credit, and “your word was your bond.” People who walked away from their debts expected to go to prison, certainly not to call a “negotiator” who would beat down your creditor into accepting less — or nothing at all.

Donald Trump raised the possibility of our nation reducing its national debt by bargaining with our creditors,
