A new bill protecting children from toxic chemicals is making its way through the state Assembly as elected officials work to keep chemicals out of children’s products. The bill — commonly known as the Child Safe Products Act — would empower New York State to identify and phase out dangerous chemicals in products marketed to kids, lawmakers said. State Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) helped craft the legislation and has been pushing it forward with hopes of keeping young people safe from what they cannot see. If the legislation is passed, the state would compile a list of high-concern chemicals made up of those known to cause health problems such as can-
cer, learning and developmental disorders, asthma and more, officials said. Then, a list of priority chemicals used in children’s products will be drafted for disclosure, lawmakers said. “This bill addresses issues of poisonous products for children,” Englebright said. “It’s very important to protect the children. And that’s what I intend to do.” The makers of children’s products would also be required to report their use of priority chemicals in their merchandise after a year, and phase out their use of such chemicals three years later. Suffolk County Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (DCenterport) said legislation like this is important because there is always a need to prevent inTOXIC continued on page A9

Medical examiner investigates body By Phil CorSo
Skeletal remains were spotted in Setauket on Sunday, prompting a police investigation, officials said. Suffolk County police were seen investigating the human remains soon after they were found, around 4 p.m. on Sunday near a stretch of the hiking and biking Greenway Trail off of Gnarled Hollow Road. The cause of death was un-
known, and it was still unclear whether the remains belonged to a male or female, cops said. The medical examiner’s office is still determining the cause of death, police said. The Greenway Trail runs 3.5 miles between Setauket and Port Jefferson Station. It starts at Limroy Lane on the western end and goes to the state department of transportation’s Park and Ride lot near Route 112.

County requires liquid nicotine warning signs Exec. Bellone signs Anker’s legislation into law By Erika karp

Suffolk County retailers who sell liquid nicotine will now have to display a sign warning customers of the possible dangers associated with the product. On Monday, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone (D) signed the legislation into law, which officials say is the first of its kind in the nation. The bill was sponsored by Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai) and seeks to educate consumers about liquid nicotine — an ultra-concentrated nicotine substance used in e-cigarettes. The product could be poisonous if swallowed, inhaled or if it comes in contact with skin. Anker pitched the legislation in December following the death of a Fort Plain, N.Y., one-year-old who ingested the product. “This potent and possibly toxic product requires regulation, and without leadership from the federal Food and Drug Administration, Suffolk County must move forward to protect our residents with the required warning sign,” Anker said in a press release. Calls to poison control centers regarding liquid nicotine poisoning have increased throughout the last few years, according to the press release. In 2012, there were fewer than 100 cases of nonlethal liquid nicotine poisoning; in 2013, the number rose to 1,300; and in 2014, the number
jumped to 4,000. The Suffolk County Department of Health Services will enforce the law and provide the downloadable warning signs. The law will take effect 90 days from filling with the Office of the Secretary of State. Businesses in violation of the law could receive an up to $250 fine for a first offense. Fines increase to $500 for a second offense and $1,000 for a violation thereafter. Last year, the county prohibited the sale of e-cigarettes and liquid nicotine to anyone younger than 21 years old.

By BarBara Donlon
Raia said while $80,000 seems like a lot of money, given cost of living, it is not as much for a family of four living on Long Island when compared to the same family of four living upstate. He said the cost of living is higher here and the increase in a maximum award is greatly needed. Lupinacci, who currently teaches at Farmingdale State College, said it is important to have this increase in an effort to lessen the financial burden on students. He said it would help cover significant portions of tuitions at State University of New York and City University of New York schools, and whatever it could for private schools’ tuitions. Currently, the bill that was introduced on March 5 is being referred to the Assembly’s Higher Education committee, where Lupinacci is a ranking member. If this bill is approved, Lupinacci hopes the increase kicks in beginning April 1, 2016. The most recent TAP increase was just $165 back in 2014. Cuomo announced the increase after nearly 15 years without any increase at all. The bill also has a

Domestic violence reform passes county Legislature By Phil Corso
The Suffolk County Legislature stood united Tuesday as it approved a new Suffolk County bill that will change the way police and advocacy agencies approach domestic violence by taking a new look at different risk factors. The bill, which County Executive Steve Bellone (D) said he intends to sign into law, emphasizes a three-pronged approach: directing county police to assign grades of recidivism risk to offenders, providing domestic violence victims with self-assessment opportunities, and linking them up with advocates to deliver more resources. County Legislator Kara Hahn (D-Setauket), who introduced the bill, plugged the measure alongside Bellone, Presiding Officer DuWayne Gregory (D-Amityville) and other Suffolk leaders just hours before the Legislature voted Tuesday evening with 16 legislators in favor and one absent at the time of the vote. “One out of four women in the United States will experience some type of domestic violence during her lifetime, and every year more than 1,500 of these women will be killed by their abusers,” Hahn said. “Key to addressing this issue is to realize that over half of domestic violence victims who are murdered or are the victim of an attempted murder by an abuser did not accurately perceive his or her risk.”

legislator Kara hahn outlines the domestic violence bill alongside County Executive steve Bellone.
A total of 38 domestic violence-related homicides have been reported in Suffolk County between 2009 and 2013, according to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services. The legislation plays off of a Portland, Ore., police initiative that assesses risk for intimate partner violence — an initiative that Suffolk police used on a limited basis to high praise. The 20-question assessment, lawmakers argued, helps victims see how much danger they are in while also linking them up with advocacy groups near them.
As far as the offenders go, Bellone and Sgt. Kelly Lynch, commanding officer for the Suffolk County Police Department’s Domestic Violence Bureau, said cops will use a new danger assessment tool to identify at-risk victims and assign a level of risk to previous offenders on a scale of one to 13, with the highest number meaning they are most likely to repeat an offense. “This computer program automatically collects and analyzes data from internal police records and produces a score that will identify offenders who are most likely to ‘recidivate’ in domestic violence
offenses,” Lynch said. “Domestic violence officers will use this tool to contact the victims and families who are associated with these high-risk offenders.” Bellone called the legislation both a personal and professional endeavor for Hahn and described domestic violence as one of the most important issues facing the county. He plugged the various agencies in attendance at Tuesday’s press conference and said their services were an essential tool in the fight to empower domestic violence victims. “As the police are some of the first people to come into contact with victims of domestic violence, it is important that they have access to proven assessment tools and the most effective resources to best serve and protect victims,” he said. “This legislation will do just that.” Laura Ahern, executive director of the Crime Victims Center at Parents for Megan’s Law, said the 20-question self-assessment will help better identify certain risk factors, making violence more predictable and preventable. She said it was important that lawmakers pay close attention to victims of such crimes and help empower them to prevent future incidents. “This is an enormous step,” she said. “All three components of this bill empower domestic violence victims. The police department will then use objective means to assess, identify and help these victims.”

OPINION
There’s nothing ‘pal’-like about Palcohol
Your turn BY JaY matuk
As a high school principal for the past 17 years, I am deeply troubled by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau’s recent decision approving the labeling of a new form of powdered alcohol called Palcohol. This substance can be easily mixed with water or any other beverage, making it a camouflaged cocktail drink that is as easy to make as lemonade or iced tea.

uct a truly disturbing one. Schools across the nation are engaged in an ongoing struggle to address the rampant alcohol and substance abuse issues that plague our communities. Each year, educational leaders and support staff must be able to identify in our students the physiological symptoms caused by the latest “designer” drugs; each year, it seems some new pharmaceutical grade substance becomes popularized in mainstream teenage culture, and before you know it, you have an epidemic on your hands. Just look at the impact that misuse of opiates has had on young adults over the past few years. I know of far too many school districts that have seen current students or graduates succumb to this or other narcotics. I weary of attending more gut-wrenching funerals for children lost to this plague. Now we have the addition of a powdered alcohol mix, which can be added to any bottled beverage while hundreds of students occupy a cafeteria. There is just no level of adult supervision that could prevent the creation of such a cocktail in school. Adolescents being risk-takers by nature, one can only imagine the out-of-school “drinking game” opportunities this new substance would create as well. For the last three years, I have served on

Centereach HS students celebrate Black History Month
Students at Centereach High School recently hosted their annual Black History Month celebration to promote acceptance and respect throughout their community. This year’s theme, “Our differences are what make us unique,” was created and planned by several students, who invited guest speakers and scheduled performances. The evening’s program featured Centereach High School’s Jazz Band and Women’s Choir, and poetry readings.
The event kicked off with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance led by Oxhead Road Elementary School students before two guest speakers addressed the attendees. Alexandria Hayes, a Centereach High School graduate, and Bernice Sims, a well-known civil rights activist and author, helped portray the meaning of Black History Month and its culture, which encourage acceptance, respect and diversity.
Local alumni volunteer to prepare tax returns Vanessa Hernandez of Centereach and 38 of her student colleagues have become certified by the Internal Revenue Service to help families prepare simple tax forms through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program. The SUNY Oneonta School of Economics and Business students will help taxpayers fill out federal and state tax forms and determine whether they qualify for special credits such as the Earned Income Tax Credit,
Child Tax Credit, Credit for the Elderly and education credits. Services will be offered, by appointment, three days a week through April 15 at two locations in Oneonta. Their clients will be residents of upstate Delaware and Otsego counties who earned less than $53,000 in 2014. This free service is being offered through the United Way of Delaware and Otsego Counties CA$H (Creating Assets, Savings and Hope) program.

TOXIC Continued from page A1
nocent children from being exposed to such harmful chemicals like arsenic, mercury, cadmium, formaldehyde and more. “Kids are more vulnerable and more likely to put things in their mouth,” Spencer said. “Almost any toy could potentially have toxic chemicals.” Spencer also said toxic chemicals are found in many children’s products such as clothes, dolls, toys and more. He said they can be in found things such as paint on a button or a bracelet a child wears. According to Englebright, there are some 84,000 chemicals on the market today. The federal law that was supposed to protect against them — the Toxic Substances Control Act of 1976 — “is a very weak law and has never been updated,” the lawmaker said. The assemblyman also said he feels a bill like this is important for everyone in the state as it sets the standards manufacturers would be held to. “We all benefit when children are protected from poorly regulated toxic chemicals that have the potential to harm development, cause illness and impair learning,” Englebright said. “I think it’s very important to get this bill to the governor’s desk.” Spencer also said while he does support the bill, there should be guidelines and parameters set as there is the ability to detect parts per million, billion and even trillion. He said it is unnecessary to be overly restrictive as something at a certain parts per billion or trillion, may not be harmful. Late last year, a press conference was held in Hauppauge to show parents the toxins present in certain items geared toward kids. While many of the toys at the conference had toxic chemicals in them, such a Hot Wheels cars or dresses bought in Long Island stores, there are toys on the market that are manufactured without them. “A lot of times the effects of these toxic substances aren’t seen right away. But the impact lasts for a lifetime,” Spencer said at the December conference. When asked why certain toys have chemicals and others don’t, Spencer said some manufacturers may be unaware of the chemicals present and others could possibly use the chemicals to maximize profit.

College degrees cost a pretty penny.
EDITORIAL
A needed increase
College is expensive. Actually, college is ludicrously expensive these days, as 60 percent of graduates from colleges and universities in New York are coming out of school with a debt of more than $26,000, according to the Project on Student Debt, an initiative of the nonprofit Institute for College Access & Success. With these numbers in mind, we support Assemblyman Chad Lupinacci’s (R-Huntington Station) push for increasing the maximum amount of financial aid awarded through the New York State Tuition Assistance Program. While college costs have increased drastically over the last 10 years, there has been no substantial increase in the maximum TAP award a student can receive. Individuals can currently cash in a minimum grant of $500 and a maximum of $5,165 each year. Lupinacci said he wants to raise the maximum to $6,470, while also increasing the maximum eligible
household income from $80,000 to $100,000. We wholeheartedly support this measure, as the increases would better align with SUNY and CUNY tuition rates for in-state residents and the high cost of living in New York. For the 2014-15 school year, a typical undergraduate student studying at a SUNY college will pay a little more than $7,500 for tuition and student fees. Add room and board, and that cost becomes about $19,600. Raising the maximum TAP award would provide many students — who may be supporting themselves and working full-time — an easier pathway to obtaining their degrees. This program could be especially crucial to students who are on their own and may not have someone to co-sign a loan. We often use the phrase “every penny counts,” and in this case it couldn’t be truer. The purpose of public education is to increase access to an important service. Increasing TAP will help further that goal.
TO THE EDITOR: I want to publicly thank the Centereach Fire Department crew for responding to a recent call at our premises. It was the result of a carbon monoxide detector alarming us that the level of CO in our basement was at a dangerous level. The response was timely, professional and efficient. Their knowledge and concern for our staff was nothing short of great. With the help
of Lake Grove Fire Marshal, Andrew Brofman, we diagnosed the situation quickly, and it was determined that we could resume operations after repairs and safe conditions were verified. CO detectors were installed at The Good Steer years ago. This was the first time that an alarm sounded. Without such a device an unfortunate situation could have been the result rather than a lesson learned. Bob McCarroll The Good Steer

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation is trying to control the mute swan population.
Leave mute swans alone TO THE EDITOR: (This letter is a response to the article “Stayin’ alive,” March 19.) I find it outrageous that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation wants to destroy these beautiful birds. Swans are peaceful birds and would not be a danger to the public unless provoked,
which is a natural instinct for animals and humans. Plans to control the Canada geese population have been pitched, but to no avail. It seems the DEC needs to find some animal to eradicate in order to justify the DEC’s presence. Henie Saccomano Sound Beach

Stony Brook trauma team on standby
D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief
vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com
G
unshots rang out in the night on March 11 in Huntington Station. The bullets from the gun of someone fleeing a traffic stop struck Suffolk Police Officer Mark Collins in the neck and hip, triggering an immediate reaction in a team of medical and emergency personnel with one goal: Do whatever can be done to keep Collins alive. Seeing the injuries to Collins’
neck, the medics at the scene directed the injured officer to the Stony Brook Trauma Center, where the Code T Team — the highest level activated — was called in. Several medical professionals prepared for his arrival, including a board-certified general surgeon and an anesthesiologist, in case the officer needed emergency surgery. The center also held open an operating room and a CT scanner and had several other medical professionals, including a radiology technician, at the ready. “We bring all the necessary resources to handle any array of injuries,” said Dr. James Vosswinkel, chief of Division of Trauma, Emergency Surgery and Surgical Critical Care at Stony Brook Medicine. A gunshot wound to the neck “doesn’t sound good,” said Vosswinkel, who was home in East Setauket before the incident. When Collins came in, “we mobilized all the appropriate services.” The prospect of such a serious injury raised concerns for their
incoming patient. Any time there is a Code T alert, “your blood pressure goes up a little bit,” Vosswinkel said. Still, he and the other members of the medical crew were prepared to follow a system that uses a “standard algorithmic approach” for injured patients, “where we have people come in and everybody knows their role.” The medical staff relies on a set of instructions that involve multiple people whose responsibilities range from stabilizing the patient to identifying injuries. How does a surgeon who might be required to spend hours with a patient at any given time — and often late in the night, as was the case with this officer — prepare for the moment when he might ask his or her body and mind to focus on something unexpected? Vosswinkel’s response, like those of the police who deal with emergency situations in our communities, was simple: training. Four years of medical school, five years of general surgery and then
a few years of additional trauma training helped him prepare emotionally and physically. The doctors also “try to keep ourselves in good shape with a healthy lifestyle and the necessary rest,” which gives them emotional and physical control. “You’re prepared when you’re on call,” he said. “The first priority” in an emergency is to “get a good enough team and good enough number of people together so you can handle the rigors that may be required.” Vosswinkel said he does what many people who confront a high-stress situation do: He takes a slow deep breath, moves a step back and does whatever he can to remain focused and logical. “Practicing in a hospital like this allows you to keep focus and keep your emotions in control,” he said. The bullet in Collins’ neck was an inch away from a much more precarious outcome. The surgical team put him in a medicallyinduced coma. Standing behind

Vosswinkel said he and the staff were inspired by Collins’ dedication as a police officer and his contribution to the community. “How could you not be inspired by someone like him?” Vosswinkel asked. “These guys are out there making it safe so something bad doesn’t happen to us.” And, when something bad happens to them, the trauma unit stands ready.

Ready to go with a joyous LIFESTYLE

everal joyous events are coming together for us at Times Beacon Record Newspapers. One is the 39th anniversary of the founding of our media group, which began with the first issue of The Village Times on April 8, 1976. While we had little doubt that we would be successful, such being the perception of total ignorance, we look back at the intervening years with astonishment and humility. We are astonished by all that has transpired in the communications in-
dustry during that time, from the advent of typesetting and desktop computers to the soon-to-be released Dick Tracy watch from Apple. And we are deeply grateful for our endurance, the result of a selfless and totally committed staff and a trusting and supportive readership and advertising base. We are incredibly appreciative that we have with us staff who have been with the company for so many of those years, and subscribers and advertisers who still think we are worth the cost. And we highly value those who have joined us most recently, for they keep us on the cutting edge. In creating The Village Times, in effect we created a microscopic world within our office in which talented staffers worked as a team to publish a hometown newspaper each week. Everyone learned to fill almost every position because we never knew who would be called away without finishing the allotted work. Why would that happen? Because we were mainly a group of mothers with young children, and I can say in all truthfulness that we invented
the concept of job sharing. As a result of so much teamwork, we tightly bonded then, even as we have continued the tradition of helping each other every day. Those bonds are much in evidence whenever former staffers, now highly successful perhaps in larger communications corporations, stop by to say “hello” and catch up on the latest. For we know of each others’ families, challenges and successes over the years and we delight in staying in touch. As we built and grew newspapers, we also worked diligently to build and grow community. That is, after all, the consequence of a community newspaper that exists to share the problems and triumphs of the latest news, The net effect is to encourage bonding among residents for the common good and for pride of place. Where there is a strong sense of community, everyone benefits, from school districts and local governments to commercial, cultural and athletic efforts. This weekend, we will celebrate the 39th annual party

honoring the men and woman of the year as selected in our last issue of this past year. By appreciating their work in going the extra mile and enhancing our lives with their accomplishments, we are also strengthening our pride in community and encouraging communications among all segments of our hometown. When we get all those leaders into one room at one time socializing together, we like to think we are cross-pollinating for future cooperation and success. We will run some photos from the event in next week’s papers so that everyone can feel pleased with where and among whom we live. Besides all that fun stuff, we are bringing out our latest publication, a beautiful magazine: LIFESTYLE. It will be inserted in all our newspapers each month, and we hope it will offer a breath of fresh air alongside some of our more somber news articles. In LIFESTYLE, we will examine activities and issues that animate our region and some that we might hope to enjoy. LIFESTYLE is intended to upgrade and aug-

ment our regular supplements, like Focus on Health, Our House, SummerTimes and HarvestTimes, and we will develop ideas and go farther afield in geography in its pages. And finally, I will share with you our excitement over our revamped and upgraded website. With our new platform, we will be able to bring more news, more photos, more features, more voices and more interactivity to our communities. The official rollout is next week but, like the news itself, it will be an ongoing work in progress. We create these new products and events to further your pleasure and the value you feel in our media company. But we cannot succeed in any of these efforts without your support and input. We will be delighted, as always, to hear from you. Happy Spring!

With a roster 18 players strong, including nine seniors, six juniors, one sophomore and two freshmen, the team has the senior leadership and veteran potential to improve on last season’s 7-13 overall record. Pedersen said he has several notable returning players, including senior pitcher and infielder Justin Barnhill; senior outfielder and catcher Danny Towne; senior catcher and pitcher Jared Prevete; senior pitcher, first baseman and outfielder Jared Consiglio; senior infielder and pitcher Joe North; and senior outfielder Michael Ruggiero; all will be looking to contribute both offensively and defensively to the program. “I think the biggest difference this year is the kids seem to be doing all the right things in the gym and there really doesn’t seem to be the ‘me first’ attitude,” Pedersen said. “There are definitely players that are more
talented than others on the team, but every player will compete for a spot and earn their playing time.” Newfield opens the season with two nonleague games against Miller Place, before beginning league play against Half Hollow Hills West on Tuesday, April 7.
