The next couple of months are packed with celebrations, including high school and college proms and graduations. When planning any outdoor festivities, PSEG Long Island urges customers to think carefully about how they handle Mylar balloons. Though they can make a party more festive, Mylar balloons can also cause power outages when they get loose and come in contact with electrical equipment. The distinctive metallic coating on Mylar balloons conducts electricity. Because of this, when a Mylar balloon comes in contact with a power line, it can cause a short circuit. This short circuit can lead to power outages, fires and possible injuries. To reduce the risk of outages and injuries, residents should keep the following safety tips in mind: • Mylar balloons and other decorations should be kept away from overhead power lines and all utility equipment. • Make sure balloons are secured to a weight that is heavy enough to prevent them from floating away. Keep balloons tethered and attached to the weights at all times. • Always dispose of Mylar balloons by safely puncturing the balloon in several

METRO/CREATIVE CONNECTIONS

places to release the helium that otherwise could cause the balloon to float away. • Never touch a power line. Do not attempt to retrieve a balloon, toy or other type of debris that is entangled in an overhead power line. Call PSEG Long Island to report the problem at 800-490-0075 so crews can remove the item safely. For more kite and balloon safety tips visit www.psegliny.com/page.cfm/home/ safety/kiteandballoon.

HISTORY

Tesla Science Center’s new historic status will help it into the future BY KYLE BARR KYLE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

TBR NEWS MEDIA

With close to 9,500 letters signed from all over the world in support, the Wardenclyffe property in Shoreham, home to 20thcentury inventor and scientist Nikola Tesla’s last standing laboratory, was approved for state historical status June 7. “From all over the world people responded to us, including individuals, organizations and public officials — it’s really cool,” said Jane Alcorn, president of the board of directors of the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe. “We’re hoping that since it was a unanimous

decision on the part of New York State that [the federal review board] will look upon all of that favorably, as well as [recognize] we had so many national and international supporters.” The historic review board at New York State Historic Preservation Office voted unanimously to recommend the property to the state historic register. Jennifer Betsworth, a historic preservation specialist for the state preservation department, said the review board members were enthusiastic to see the application before they even received it. “They were all excited to see this coming forward,” Betsworth said of the board member’s feelings. “It’s been one of these properties that people have known about for some time, and everyone wanted to see it [have] a positive future.” The state review board forwarded the application to the federal historical review board under the National Park Service, whose review process should take one to two months. Betsworth said that while the federal review board often looks favorably on New York applications, there is no guarantee it will be accepted. To prove the case for historic preservation, a historic architect consultant was hired to document the land and its legacy. The Tesla Science Center board members spent a month crafting a 92-page document that went

The Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, above, located at 5 Randall Road in Shoreham, is the last standing laboratory of famed Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla, at left. into the specific historic status of the many buildings on the site. But other than the landmark brick building in the center of the property that once was Tesla’s main lab space, the other concrete and wood structures on the property were built after Tesla’s time. “For us we’re still in a marathon — we still have a lot more running to do,” said Marc Alessi, the science center’s executive director. “But it was nice to make this milestone.” Having the property on the New York historic register allows the science center to apply for state grants that specifically require historic significance. That is important, Alessi said, because the science center is winding up its master plan this month, which includes finalizing and designing a planned Tesla

museum and science center. Though he did not wish to say which buildings he expects to house the museum, AlessI said construction should be finished and the museum open to the public by the end of next year. “We want to get open to the public as quickly as possible” he said. “Once we open our first building to the public it will be an ongoing project to expand into other buildings on the property.” Because of the strong public response, Alessi said the science center hopes to involve its international fan base through more crowdfunding opportunities down the road. “We know that [the letters came from] the crowd that helped save this place,” Alessi said. “And we want to make sure they stay engaged.”

TOWN Pop-up wedding chapel to commemorate same-sex marriage decision

GARY GUDZIK

Wedding bells will be in the air at a Port Jeff park to commemorate a groundbreaking day in American history. The Rev. Gary Gudzik of the Chapel of St. Valentine and Port Jefferson Village Mayor Margot Garant will be hosting a marriage event at Harborfront Park in Port Jefferson June 26 from 4 to 8 p.m. The date was chosen to honor the third anniversary of the Obergefell v. Hodges Supreme Court decision legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states, although the event will be open to all interested couples. Gudzik will be officiating and Garant will be co-officiating the ceremonies for any couples that choose to attend. “It was a no-brainer,” Garant said of her interest in participating. “I feel like we need some good news in this world and Port Jefferson is a place where everyone can come and celebrate.” The event will feature individual ceremonies by appointment as well as group vow renewals. All ceremonies will be open to the public. Gudzik is an ordained Christian minister who grew up in Port Jefferson and graduated from Earl L. Vandermeulen High School in 1989. He is the vicar, or bishop’s deputy, of the Chapel of St. Valentine in Mount Sinai. He was ordained in 2014 and has officiated nearly 100 ceremonies. According to its website, the Chapel of

St. Valentine is LGBTQ friendly “because we believe that all people have the right to marry the person they love. Period.” “I love being a part of the happiest day in someone’s life,” Gudzik said. “It’s a special moment when you can pronounce two people married.” The 2015 decision produced strong reactions on both sides of the ideological spectrum. “No union is more profound than marriage, for it embodies the highest ideals of love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family,” Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote on the historic decision. “In forming a marital union, two people become something greater than once they were. … It would misunderstand these men and women to say they disrespect the idea of marriage. Their plea is that they do respect it, respect it so deeply that they seek to find its fulfillment for themselves. … They ask for equal dignity in the eyes of the law. The Constitution grants them that right.” The decision was passed in a 5-4 ruling, and established the rights of same sex-couples in the United States, though many states had passed laws prior to 2015. Anyone who is interested in reserving an individual ceremony can contact Gudzik at 631-406-9757, or visit the link www.chapelofsaintvalentine.org, though they do anticipate to be able to accommodate walk-ups as well.

Brookhaven tore down its 200th zombie house June 13, above, located at 2 Washington Carver Drive in Coram. The home was deteriorating and determined to be unsafe, below.

Brookhaven demos 200th zombie house BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) was joined by Councilman Neil Foley (R-Blue Point), Councilman Michael Loguercio (R-Ridge) and Councilwoman Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point) to mark the 200th zombie house demolition during his initiative to clean up neighborhoods across Brookhaven. According to a recent independent engineer’s report, the house demolished on June 13, at 2 Washington Carver Drive in Coram, was vacant for more than five years and was in “an advanced stage of deterioration” and determined to be unsafe. The town has demolished 26 zombie houses so far in 2018. “I am proud to mark this as our 200th demolition, but our work is far from being done,” Romaine said. “While there are hundreds of vacant and abandoned houses in the town, many of them are in decent shape and could be made habitable again. I will continue to work with all levels of government and the private sector to develop a grant program that will help us renovate these houses for veterans and first-time home buyers.” The house was torn down by employees from the town’s Department of Recycling and Sustainable Materials Management in accordance with Chapter 73 of the Town Code, which provides a “fast track” to rid neighborhoods of unsafe structures. The cost of demolition and debris removal is the responsibility of the property owner, and the town places a lien on the property that is then placed on the tax bill. Suffolk County reimburses the town and then collects the money from the property owner. “This house was in the middle of a nice neighborhood where people are working

Two men from Port Jefferson Station, one 23-year-old and the other 24, allegedly gained entry into a detached garage at a home on Barnum Avenue in Port Jefferson sometime between June 11 and June 12 and stole tools and a tablet from an unlocked 2016 Ford van within the garage, according to police. The pair also allegedly entered an unlocked 2004 Honda parked in a parking lot on Arden Place in Port Jefferson June 11 at about 11 p.m. and took a pocketbook containing cash, personal items and a debit card, police said. They were arrested June 12 in Port Jeff Station and both charged with two counts of fourth-degree grand larceny and third-degree burglary.

On June 12 at about 8:30 p.m., a 52-yearold man from Lake Ronkonkoma allegedly engaged in a fight and screamed obscenities at the Port Jefferson Station Long Island Rail Road station, and also allegedly possessed prescription drugs without a prescription, according to police. He was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.

He was arrested and charged with first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

Drug bust hard to raise their children and realize the American Dream,” Bonner said. “I support the supervisor’s efforts to rehabilitate vacant houses instead of demolishing them, and I will do everything I can to help make that happen.” Loguercio said it is important to continue to remove houses like the one in Coram from the community, calling out how they create problems like being a spot for criminal activity or squatters, and lowering the value of surrounding properties. “This is another example of the Town of Brookhaven’s commitment to improve the quality of life in every neighborhood,” Foley said. “It’s a great day for the residents who have lived with this dangerous eyesore for too many years.” To report a vacant house, go to www.brookhavenny.gov or call 631-451TOWN (8696).

At about 10:30 a.m. June 15, a 27-yearold woman from Rocky Point allegedly possessed heroin, crack cocaine and marijuana while on Route 112 in Port Jefferson Station, according to police.

Tips and tricks when handling ticks BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

for the dual purpose of rejuvenating the local quail population while curbing the rising tick problem, which gets worse every year with a lack of natural predators. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the number of illnesses related to ticks, mosquitos and fleas have tripled from 2004 to 2016, with 69,313 diseases reported from ticks in New York state in that time. In 2013, the CDC estimated that nationally there were 300,000 cases of Lyme disease annually, which is carried by deer tick. Brosdal’s daughter Erika suffered through the pains of Lyme disease when she was 13 years old. As a father, watching his daughter lay in pain on the couch was heartbreaking. “She couldn’t breathe,” Brosdal said. “It affected her so terribly – she was an A-grade student until that happened, and then she had to read everything twice. I give her a lot of credit — she’s 44 now and has two master’s degrees and she’s a high school psychologist.” Brosdal said the quails have an important job to do and “can do a lot of good.” Powers said multiple schools participate in his program and will release the quails in parks all over Long Island. If any school or group is interested in raising quails, Powers can be contacted through www.yc2n.com.

According to Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, over 900 calls were received from people seeking advice from its tick helpline in 2017. If a tick is found on your body, there are ways to safely remove it: • Tweezers are the best tool and should be placed as close to the skin as possible — grabbing the tick’s head. • Pull upward with a slow and steady motion and try to avoid breaking the tick in half. If the head snaps off, know disease transmission is not possible without the entire body. • Disinfect the bit area with rubbing alcohol or soap and water and contact a physician. Consider placing the tick in a baggie or pill vial. • Pay attention to your health in the weeks following. There are also ways to reduce your exposure, like checking for ticks daily, especially under the arms, in and around the ears, inside the belly button, behind the knees or between legs and on the hairline and scalp. Remove and dry clothing on high heat as soon as possible to kill ticks. They can’t be drowned by washing. You can create a tick-safe yard by mowing frequently and keeping leaves raked. Also be sure to treat dogs and cats. One tick can carry multiple pathogens. Deer ticks or blacklegged ones have no white markings, are brown or black in color and are very, very small. Both nymph and adult stages can transmit diseases like Lyme and babesiosis. For more information on handling and treating ticks or for a free removal kit visit www.eastendtickresource.org or call the helpline at 631-726-TICK (8425).

Markland is a scientist and a musician, an engineer and an artist. This past year, he competed in several regional and national science fairs with his project on improving GPS technologies in autonomous cars. On May, 6 he played double bass for the Metropolitan Youth Orchestra of New York at Carnegie Hall. “The balance of his technical skills and his creativity — how he’s able to excel in both areas at such a high level is tremendous,” Rocky Point High School Principal Susan Crossan said. In 2013 Markland took a trip to the First LEGO League World Festival in St. Louis, Missouri. One of the first stops he made was to the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit, where he saw pictures and models of the wondrous inventions of one of the world’s most famous engineers and painters. It inspired something within himself. “It really took me back how intelligent he was — a lot of his engineering stuff, but also how he was an artist, with all his paintings like

the Mona Lisa — he stands out in so many different areas,” Markland said. “It’s something that I want to do for myself — stand out and do the best I can in a lot of different arenas.” Just like how da Vinci was an inventor and engineer, Markland too has a knack for understanding the way things work, and expressed his engineering skills through LEGO Mindstorms. Mindstorms is a branch of LEGO where technic blocks are used to program robots that can perform any number of functions. The senior took an interest in robotics when he was in 5th grade, saving up birthday money for several years before buying his first Mindstorms kit. In 2014 he created the YouTube channel Builderdude35, where he regularly posts tutorials and videos of his LEGO creations. Markland has over 14,000 subscribers, and said he regularly receives questions and requests for help from people all over the world. “The tutorials were a way of sharing my own experience that I learned through [school] or at home,” Markland said. In April he published the book “Building Smart LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 Robots,” in which he highlights six of his unique robotics

projects — all of which he built and coded. One of his flagship creations is a quirky interactive robot named “Grunt” that will eat different colored LEGO blocks and react differently to each one. The robot will respond to when waved at, and even stick out a small LEGO claw to shake your hand. Markland’s mother, Lori, recalled her son marveling at the way things worked even at a young age. “His passion was cars, building, robotics, machinery,” she said. “When we brought him to a cotton candy machine, he was looking at all the moving parts underneath it.” The senior does all this with an incredibly busy schedule. He spends most of his time travelling, whether for scientific research, music or robotics, and still finds the time for schoolwork. To Markland, music is his most calming influence. It helps to settle his mind. He said the music is also not only just for him. “I want to feel like I’m using my time for something bigger than myself,” Markland said. “I want to feel accomplished. The channel is a way to teach people, the book is a way to teach people; my music is something that makes people happy.”

Markland will graduate salutatorian of his class. He was accepted into Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University and California Institute of Technology, and chose MIT not just because he sees it as the most prestigious, but because the admissions officer personally called to congratulate him. “[It’s] crazy, because they don’t really do that,” Markland said. Next week Markland will be travelling to participate at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where he will face off against 1,800 students from over 75 different countries. “From the get-go Kyle has been very selfmotivated,” Markland’s science teacher and mentor at Nancy Hunter said. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a student who matches his ability define a problem, figure out how he’s going to go about solving a problem, and does it all.” While the science fair sounds daunting, the student has been methodical in his preparation. In times of stress, he said he thinks of something his cousin, a soldier in the U.S Marines, told him: “He told me, ‘there’s nothing more powerful than one who plans his work and works his plan.’”

SPORTS BILL LANDON

Shoreham-Wading River kicker Tyler McAuley, below, is hoisted up by his Long Island teammates after they won the game.

Local athletes help Long Island win Empire Challenge BY BILL LANDON After a New York City 30-yard Hail Mary touchdown pass, the team went for a twopoint conversion to outright win its third straight Empire Challenge football game under Hofstra University’s Friday night lights, but Long Island’s James Lyons, of Sayville, batted away the conversion pass in a 28-27 thriller. Up to that point Westhampton running back Dylan Laube has been the center of all things Long Island offense June 15, powering his way to three touchdowns — accumulating 151 all-purpose yards. He was voted most outstanding player of the game. He opened Long Island’s scoring by running off left tackle on the opening play of the second quarter and punching into the end zone to help tie the game 7-all. Miller Place’s Tyler Ammirato, Long Island’s defensive captain, called signals on the field in an attempt to contain an explosive NYC offensive attack. His plan ended up in a Long Island defensive stop to take over on downs, and Laube was back to work on offense. Farmingdale’s Briant DeFelice made the extra-point kick following Laube’s second touchdown to put Long Island out front 14-7 with three minutes left in the third. “It’s an awesome experience — you read the paper every week and you see all these guys’ names and to finally meet them and get to play with them,” Ammirato said. “I thought, ‘Our defensive stand right

Long Island 28 NYC 27

here will be the turning point of this game — we’ve got to get a stop right here,’ but our offense is [also very] talented, they’ll punch it in.” After NYC retied the game, Harborfields wide receiver Gavin Buda ran a sideline route and grabbed a 39-yard pass from Northport quarterback Ryan Walsh to put Long Island in excellent field position. Buda, the only athlete in history to be chosen for both the Empire Challenge and last week’s Blue Chip Prospects Grand Slam Challenge baseball game said it was a fitting way to conclude his high school career. “It’s sad, but this is one of the greatest games I’ve ever played in my life,” Buda said. “To meet all of these great superstars that I’ve played against and I’ve seen on the field, and to be friends with them now and to be their teammates, is just [an] amazing experience that I’m going to remember for the rest of my life.” Laube finished what Buda started for a 21-14 advantage to end the scoring for the third. A rare NYC miscue helped Westhampton’s Nolan Quinlan pick off a pass and nearly return it for a touchdown before being forced out of bounds with 32 seconds left in the fourth. NYC’s defense made a stop that forced Long Island to try for a 36-yard field goal attempt, which was blocked. With just over eight minutes left NYC made it a new game 21-all, but Long Island let time tick off the clock on a long drive to three consecutive first downs before Oceanside wide receiver Derek Cruz’s old-school flea-flicker jump ball. Cruz faked continuing his run and tossed the ball back

to quarterback Tommy Heuer, who waited for Massapequa wide receiver Owen Glascoe to break free. Heuer hit Glascoe in the end zone for a 34-yard touchdown pass and DeFelice added his fourth extra-point kick for a 28-21 lead with 41 seconds left, which ended up being the game-winning point. Ward Melville linebacker Zach Hobbes, who was instrumental in the Patriots’ rout of West Genesee in the state lacrosse final the weekend prior, was euphoric taking part in his final football game. “I can’t think of a better way to end my senior year,” Hobbes said. “Winning a state championship and then to play in front of 9,000 people for the last game of my varsity football career, and to get a win like that, it’s an unbelievable experience.” With time running out NYC went hurryup offense and hit three consecutive pass plays down the sideline, getting out of bounds each time to stop the clock and save

what precious seconds remained. With five seconds left, NYC quarterback Mike Nicosia threw the Hail Mary to the left corner of the end zone, where he found Titus Leo. “That was a crazy experience — that’s just how I expected the game to go,” Buda said. “I knew both teams would put up a fight and right when we scored that last touchdown I knew you could not count them out. We had to make a defensive stop, but they drove down — they’re a great team. Our defense came up with a humongous stop and that sealed the deal.” Shoreham-Wading River’s Tyler McAuley was unable to compete in the 23rd annual Empire Challenge football game. Ward Melville outside linebacker Thomas Kutchma and running back Nicholas Messina; Miller Place defensive end Matthew McNulty; and Northport quarterback Ryan Walsh were other area athletes that took part in the senior all-star game.

Residential Styles Learn about the home styles in your market and beyond. Our Residential Styles guide includes illustrations, photographs, and detailed descriptions about popular styles. Plus, use our Home Features guide to learn about architectural elements such as dormers, roofs, and arches that make a property distinct.

Art Deco A vertically oriented design includes flat roofs and metal window casements. Neoclassical Neoclassical homes exist in incarnations from onestory cottages to multilevel manses. Bungalow A forerunner of the craftsman style, you'll find rustic exteriors and sheltered-feeling interiors. Prairie Originated by Frank Lloyd Wright, this style can be house boxy or lowslung. Cape Cod A true classic, Cape Cod homes have gabled roofs and unornamented fronts. Pueblo Flat roofs, straightedge window frames, and earth-colored walls typify Pueblos. Colonial An offshoot of the Cape Cod style, it features a rectangular design and secondfloor bedrooms.

Queen Anne Emerging in the Victorian era, the style features inventive floor plans and decorative chimneys. Contemporary Unmistakably modern, this style has odd-sized windows and little ornamentation. Ranch Ranch homes are set apart by pitched-roof construction, built-in garages, and picture windows. Craftsman Full- or partial-width porches are framed by tapered columns and overhanging eaves. Regency The style borrows the Georgian's classic lines, yet eschews ornamentation. Creole A front wall recedes to form a first-story porch and a second-story balcony. Saltbox Its sharply sloping gable roof resembles old-time boxes used for storing salt. Dutch Colonial German settlers originated this style, which features a broad, barn-like roof. Second Empire This Victorian style features mansard roofs with dormer windows. Federal This style arose amid a renewed interest in Greek and

Roman culture. Shed A subset of the Modern style, Shed houses are asymmetric with sloping roofs. French Provincial Balance and symmetry define the French Provincial style, which has a steep hip roof. Shingle An American style that echoes Queen Anne, it has unadorned doors and large porches. Georgian With paired chimneys and a decorative crown, this style was named after English royalty. Shotgun Tradition says that a shotgun blast can trace a straight path from the front to back door. Gothic Revival English romanticism influenced this style, marked by Gothic windows and vaulted roofs. Spanish Eclectic This style has details from Moorish, Byzantine, Gothic, and Renaissance styles. Greek Revival Entryway columns and a front door surrounded by rectangular windows are characteristic. Split Level A Modern style, Split levels sequester living activities, such as sleeping and socializing.

International The International style exposes functional building elements, including elevator shafts. Stick Decorative horizontal, vertical, or diagonal boards are typical of this Victorian style. Italianate This style has symmetrical bay windows in front, small chimneys, and tall windows. Tudor Tudors have half-timbering on bay windows and upper floors, and steep cross gables. Monterey The Monterey style updates the New England Colonial style with an Adobe brick exterior. Victorian Built during the rise of the machine age, Victorian architecture incorporated decorative details such as patterned shingles. National Rooted in Native American dwellings, the National style is rectangular with sidegabled roofs. 7KH DERYH LQIRUPDWLRQ LV SURYLGHG E\ 7KH 1DWLRQDO $VVRFLDWLRQ RI 5HDOWRUV ÂŠ

Zeldin on reducing drug prices SARA-MEGAN WALSH

Have morals, and get your facts straight

In light of current national events, a gnawing question surfaces — what happened to American values? Even the staunchest defenders of President Donald Trump (R) have to concede what’s currently going on at the borders of the United States is deeply troubling — the separation of parents from their children. The thought of just one child being separated from his or her family, crying for even a second, should be enough to deter any American with a conscience from supporting the president’s current policy. And yes, it is he and his administration’s to own, no matter what they want us to believe. The president has falsely claimed the immoral and inhumane policy of separating children from their parents who cross the border illegally was “a Democrat’s law.” It is not a law. Now it turns out, he is signing an executive order ending this loathsome policy. According to PolitiFact — a fact-checking site owned by the nonprofit Poynter Institute for Media Studies — the zero-tolerance policy that the Trump administration introduced in April, and one our president now admitted he has the power to change, has led to the massive uptick in children of all ages stuck in federal facilities without their parents. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Chief of Staff John Kelly have publicly intimated the aim of the new policy is to deter people from seeking asylum in the U.S. Even so, that hasn’t happened. Illegal immigrants are so desperate to flee their countries, they are walking into this crisis as the lesser of two terrible evils. On June 15, federal officials announced that 1,995 children have been separated from 1,940 adults at the border between April 19 and May 31. Parents were referred for prosecution. Facts matter regarding the details of the new policy, especially as the White House and cabinet members like Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen cry “fake news.” It would be accurate to say the Trump administration has not explicitly crafted a policy calling for the separation of families entering the U.S. illegally. However, zero tolerance has created the problem, because illegally crossing the border was previously handled as a civil offense. This allowed families to be detained together, but now, as the felonies are turning into criminal charges, parents are being taken into police custody while children are frequently sent to a Walmart-turned-detention center in Texas, which grows more crowded by the day, and other places around the country. This is all indisputable fact. We as Americans have a responsibility to acknowledge this, politicians and officials. We encourage anyone as troubled by this as we are to reach out to your houses of worship to see if they’re taking steps to aide those being affected. Who are looking after the safety and welfare of these children? Donate your time or money to one of the more than 10 rapid response networks aiding Long Island immigrants, or organizations like RAICES, a Texas-based nonprofit that provides legal defense for individuals in immigration court. This is not our America, and this is not your America. This is not anyone’s America. We cannot remain silent. When government fails, it is up to us to stand up for one of America’s intrinsic values — freedom and the entitlement to basic human rights.

The rising cost of prescription drugs has dealt a crushing blow to the wallets of everyday Americans and put a great strain on the government-supported programs that benefit some of our country’s most vulnerable populations — our seniors, children, disabled and impoverished communities. According to a report by Express Scripts, a prescription benefits company, between 2008 and 2015, name brand drug prices increased by 164 percent. These price spikes frequently make lifesaving medications unaffordable. When it comes to driving down the cost of prescription drugs for those who need it most, we must consider every option. This Congress, in an effort to keep pace with an ever-changing marketplace and ever-evolving scientific innovation, the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (H.R. 2430) was passed into law to bring lower-cost generic drug alternatives and biosimilars to market faster by increasing competition and lowering drug costs. With an increase in authority and flexibility, this reauthorization streamlines the process for reviewing and approving new treatments and cures for patients, ultimately delivering new and innovative therapies, drugs and devices to patients more quickly. Under current law, the federal government has the ability to negotiate the prices of the prescription drugs government purchases from manufacturers, but the negotiating authority is insufficient and outdated. Currently, the federal government has the ability to negotiate prices under Medicare, but even when the government can negotiate prices, it is hamstrung by overregulation that ensures it

cannot push for the same prices charged throughout the rest of the world. Under Medicare Part D, before reimbursing doctors, Medicare adds 6 percent to the sales price reported by pharmaceutical companies, then forces patients to cover 20 percent of the total cost. The burden to negotiate for prices is disproportionately left to doctors, often small practitioners who lack the market power to bargain effectively. As a result, Medicare pays significantly more than European countries for the same drugs, passing costs along to taxpayers and patients alike. The drug companies receive a windfall from Medicare’s lack of negotiating ability, reporting profit margins more than double market averages and earning upward of an additional $50 billion annually in revenue from overcharging consumers. So what else can government do to lower the price of prescription drug prices? With some reforms, Medicare Part D could provide the rough outlines of a solution. Within Medicare Part D, private nonprofit and for-profit health insurance companies bid to provide prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries and separately negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies. The incentive for Part D plan sponsors to negotiate lower prices comes from the fact that they can then reduce their premiums for Medicare beneficiaries and therefore attract more customers. Due to the fact the taxpayer subsidy depends on the bids submitted by plan sponsors, this competition benefits not only Medicare beneficiaries, but taxpayers overall. Medicare Part D should be reformed to provide increased flexibility of plans to

enhance negotiating power with drug manufacturers and drive down costs for beneficiaries. Notably, the bid system within Medicare Part D could ensure that cheap and effective generic products reach consumers. By forcing companies to bid for Medicare’s business, the government could promote competition within the marketplace, driving down prices on name-brand products. While depression-medication Wellbutrin costs, on average, $6,000 per 100 pills, its generic counterpart, Bupropion, costs only $50-$60 for the same quantity. Though namebrand anxiety drug Ativan also costs, on average, $6,000 for 100 pills, an equal supply of Lorazepam costs only $2-$3. The shocking discrepancies in price continue across the board, from asthma medication to EpiPen to blood pressure drugs to cancer treatments. The recent price spike in a two-pack of EpiPen from around $100 to over $600 epitomizes the monopoly power of the drug companies. The producer of EpiPen could overcharge customers at will, confident that few generic counterparts could compete. Similarly, the price of insulin to treat diabetes tripled within 10 years, the cost of asthma medication increased 6 percent and the price of Betaseron spiked from $8,000 per year to close to $60,000. Americans who rely on EpiPen and other drugs in potentially life-and-death situations have been railroaded with a lifesaving medication at a price they cannot afford, and we must work to drive down the increasingly burdensome cost they have been saddled with.

Recognizing community news To the publisher: Congratulations on the numerous awards Times Beacon Record News Media received at the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest. Your news organization has long had a reputation for excellence in local journalism. These awards only reinforce what your readers and the communities you serve have known. Local newspapers are the backbone of our communities and our democracy. They keep our residents informed about our

government, the daily happenings in our community and the lives of our neighbors. In an age of social media, local newspapers like yours continue to be the unofficial record of who we are as a community and a first draft of our history as it occurs. In his book “Democracy in America,” Alexis de Tocqueville wrote, “The power of the periodical press is second only to that of the people.” Tocqueville understood that governmental power flows up from our local towns, cities and counties, which

is why the Constitution begins with the words, “We the People.” The local press plays a vital and indispensable role in a democratic society. We are fortunate to have journalists at our community newspapers who are recognized by their peers for quality reporting and for publishing an excellent newspaper every week from cover to cover. Again, congratulations on an honor that is truly deserved.

OPINION

Sifting through the memories

y family has become archeologists in our own home. After 12 years of collecting artwork from the kids’ classes in school, saving report cards and filing away binders from earlier grades, we are sifting through all that material, jettisoning or recycling what we don’t need. Some of the finds are so remarkable that they stop us in our sorting tracks. My high school daughter isn’t much of a morning person. She often prefers short sounds or gestures in the car on the way to school, rather By Daniel Dunaief than actual conversations that might require her to form words. As we were going through a pile

D. None of the above

of material, we found a note from her nursery school teacher. She described a charming little girl who often takes a while to get going each morning. That description is so apt today that we realized how much of people’s patterns and personalities form early in life. Then, sorting further, we found papers from her spectacular first-grade teacher. A young woman with a soft voice and a determined style, her teacher brought out the best in our daughter, even early in the morning. Our daughter kept a diary in that class, in which she shared stories about the family’s weekend activities. Clearly, her brother was jealous of that writing, as we also found a diary from him in which he thanks her for creating a similar book for him to record his experiences. He shared his thoughts from the weekend, and the rest of the family readily wrote back to him. His sister also kept handwritten notes from her first-grade teacher. The letters are all clear and distinct, and offer a positive and supportive tone.

Her teacher wrote to her, without talking down to her. What a wonderful role model. This teacher, through form and content, offered a ray of sunshine to our daughter even then, which was probably why we kept the papers. These notes today take on a different meaning for us, as the teacher succumbed to cancer at a young age just a few years after our daughter had the privilege of being in her class. Our daughter was recently in a high school English class in which her first-grade teacher’s husband served as a part-time instructor. She shared some of these notes with him. He was delighted to take them home to his daughter, who was a toddler when her mother died. His daughter has particularly appreciated seeing her mother’s handwriting and feeling an indirect connection to the encouraging words she offered.

Amid all the trophies from sports teams, we discovered certificates indicating that one or both of our children had been successful lunch helpers. We have unearthed old VHS tapes of movies we watched numerous times as a family, including a few Disney classics and a surprisingly amusing Barbie version of “The Princess and the Pauper.” In addition to sending us down memory lane, sorting through all the accumulated clutter has made the house seem so much larger, giving us room to add modern memories and memorabilia to our collection.
