Educators, parents and students gathered outside state Sen. Ken LaValle’s Mount Sinai office Tuesday with one clear message: They won’t forget he voted “yes” on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget when it’s their turn to vote in November 2016. Nearly 100 people rallied in front of the North Country Road office of LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), holding signs letting the senator and the community know they were upset he voted in favor of a portion of the 201516 state budget that amended the teacher evaluation system, lengthened the time before teachers can gain tenure and created new designations for failing schools. Beth Dimino, president of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association and a John F. Kennedy Middle School teacher,

said her association and other groups coordinated the protest to show the senator they don’t take his vote lightly. “The purpose of this rally is to remind Mr. LaValle that his vote in favor of Mr. Cuomo’s budget and anti-public education agenda will be remembered by the parents and taxpayers in the November elections,” Dimino said. LaValle, who was in Albany at the time of the protest, was just re-elected to his 20th term in the Senate and will be up for election again next year. He said in a statement Wednesday, “We improved on what the governor put in his budget proposal and I fully expect we will continue to fix the education piece, with the final result addressing parents and educators concerns.” April Quiggle, a Port Jefferson parent, said she came out to show how disappointed she is in the

senator she always supported. “I feel betrayed by him,” Quiggle said. Not one person at the rally was without a sign. Young children also held signs. Miller Place resident Erik Zalewski, who teaches in the Middle Country school district, said LaValle and other politicians who voted in favor of the governor’s reform sold out educators and kids. “It seems money is more important than the children,” Zalewski said. Lucille McKee, president of the Shoreham-Wading River Teachers Association, joined in

to let everyone know she is tired of non-educators making decisions about education. Halfway through the rally supporters broke out in a cheer: “Ken LaValle you let us down, Ken LaValle you let the students down, Ken LaValle we will not forget!” Many parents at the picket said they tried numerous times to reach out to the senator by phone and email and never heard back. Hundreds of cars drove by as everyone protested on the corner of the road. Drivers honked, gave thumbs-up signs and cheered, letting the protesters know they supported them.

Town questions utility’s proposed rate increase By Erika karp

Brookhaven officials announced last week that the town is seeking permission from the New York State Public Service Commission to intervene on PSEG Long Island’s pending application to the commission for a rate increase. At a press conference on April 16, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and councilmembers Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Dan Panico (R-Manorville) and Neil Foley (R-Blue Point) expressed their concerns about the increase in the delivery charge portion of customers’ bills — a nearly 4 percent bump each year for three years — set to kick in next year. The officials said they believe PSEG Long Island hasn’t adequately justified the increase, which would have a “devastating impact,” on Long Island residents. “We want to make sure that our voices are heard — the ratepayers in Brookhaven Town are heard,” Romaine said. By legally intervening, according to attorney Rob Calica, of Garden Citybased law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney LLP, town officials would have access to filings and documents that are otherwise not public. “If the town doesn’t intervene, it’s a commenter,” said Calica, who the town retained to handle the matter. “The comment period is closed. If the town doesn’t intervene, the records that are unavail-

able for public review remain unavailable. If the town intervenes, it elevates its status from commenter to a party.” The utility stated in its proposal that it would invest in maintaining and modernizing the electric system; enhancing technology for managing customer accounts; improving infrastructure to better prepare for and respond to storms; and improving system reliability. The town joins Suffolk County Comptroller John M. Kennedy Jr., who asked

to act as an intervener in an April 10 letter to the New York State Department of Public Service, the department which contains the commission. According to PSEG Long Island’s application, the three-year increase will amount to an approximate $221 million increase in revenues. In his letter, Kennedy called it questionable to give “that excessive amount of money” to a “quasi-governmental entity that is supposed to be a leader in

management performance, yet decides to increase the average residential customer’s bills when its own employees live and work on Long Island.” This is the first time in more than 20 years that Long Island’s utility provider has had to submit a rate plan to the Department of Public Service, as required by the LIPA Reform Act of 2013, which also put the Long Island Power Authority under the management of private company PSEG Long Island. The department assigned administrative law judges to hear the case, on which Long Island residents commented at public hearings held throughout March. Brookhaven officials and Kennedy said they also took issue with the fact that the utility’s proposed increase does not have to follow any cap that other public institutions, like governments and school districts, have to abide by, referring to the state’s tax levy increase cap. Romaine said PSEG Long Island should have to comply with and be held to higher standards. “They are a public authority no differPSEG LONG ISLAND continued on page A11

Lawmakers push for cleaner waters By Phil Corso

eNJoY UNPReCeDeNteD seLeCtIoN & sPeCtACULAR sAVINGs!

Long Island’s largest freshwater lake is not what it used to be, but North Shore lawmakers and educators are teaming up to bring it back. Darcy Lonsdale and her students attending the Stony Brook University School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences arrived at the docks of the 243-acre Lake Ronkonkoma on Tuesday, April 14, equipped with various aquatic testing supplies to study marine life in the waters. Bill Pfeiffer, a member of the Nesconset Fire Department’s water rescue team, helped guide the students as residents and government officials flanked the docks in talks of a Lake Ronkonkoma that once was. Pfeiffer has been diving in and exploring around Lake Ronkonkoma for years, mapping out the bottom of the lake and chronicling the different kinds of debris on its floor, which he said includes anything from parts of old amusement park rides to pieces of docks. “This lake needs a healthy amount of attention,” he said. “It has been appearing clearer, but [Hurricane] Sandy turned it into a brown mud hole again.” The lake is home to various species, including largemouth bass and chain pickerel. Members of the Lake Ronkonkoma Advisory Task Forced hosted Pfeiffer and the students with hopes of gaining a deeper understanding of the waters and encouraging the four jurisdictions overseeing it — Brookhaven, Islip and Smithtown towns and Suffolk County — to form one united board to advocate for the lake. Newly-elected county Legislator Leslie Kennedy (R-Nesconset) said the goal was to compile data that will help secure grant money, channel stormwater runoff away from the lake and garner legislative supLAKE continued on page A11

No challengers in MC school board race BOE Pres. Karen Lessler seeks sixth term By BArBArA DonLon

When hitting the ballots in May, community members will be voting on more than the budget. They will also vote for Middle Country Board of Education trustees who will run the school board, help shape future budgets and make sure proper programs are in place. There are three seats open this year and three incumbent board members are running unopposed. Karen Lessler President Karen Lessler is up for re-election and the 15-year veteran said she is seeking another three years in office. Lessler has held the position of president since 2003 and said

being on the school board is a passion of hers. “I’m very committed to being a child activist,” Lessler said in a phone interview. The Kings Park school district teacher has been living in the community for 34 years and has had a son and stepson graduate from Centereach High School. Lessler has been vocal about the fight to keep public education alive and critical of recent changes in education proposed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D). If re-elected, Lessler said she would continue to be fiscally responsible for the community and fight for students. “I think the issues I continue to focus on are the needs of students

and making them good citizens,” Lessler said. Rev. James Macomber James Macomber moved to Centereach in 2010 and has served on the board for the last three years. Currently, Macomber is chair of the educational advancement commission, which spearheaded the science, technology, engineering and math program, which is commonly referred to

as STEM. Macomber has been very involved in the STEM program as he feels it provides students with the tools they need to be successful. Macomber is seeking reelection as he enjoys the community he serves and the board he works with. He called it one of the strongest board of educations around. “It’s a satisfying way to give back to the community,” Macomber said. “I’ve always been a

fan of public education.” If re-elected, Macomber said he would continue his work to advance the STEM program and work to create partnerships and internships through local businesses for the students in the district. Macomber, a Vietnam veteran, previously taught business at the University of Tennessee, and has lived in Ohio, Tennessee, New Mexico and Georgia. BOE continued on page A12

Mad Dogs snap losing streak with win over East Islip Boys’ lacrosse

Middle Country . . . . . 8 East Islip . . . . . . . . . . . 5 By Bill landon

The Middle Country boys’ lacrosse team scored four quick goals in less than three minutes and continued to fire off shots and find the back of the cage to claim a nonleague 8-5 victory over East

Islip, Saturday. Less than a minute into the game, junior midfielder Kyle Stemke scored first for the Mad Dogs, and senior midfielder Brandon Thomas followed with a goal of his own a minute later to jump out to a 2-0 lead. “We played a solid team with a solid defense today who have a lot of offensive power,” Stemke said, as his team converted eight of its 21 attempts at goal. “We made some goals when we had to, and we were able to shut them down defensively at the end.”

Middle Country head coach Kenneth Budd said his team has struggled at the faceoff position lately, but that wasn’t the case for the Mad Dogs in this matchup. Junior midfielder Declan Canevari won his third possession of the game and dished the ball for senior attack Bobby Emerson to score. Canevari followed with his fourth faceoff win, and took the ball down the right sideline, cut to the inside and buried his shot between the pipes to give Middle Country a 4-0 advantage. Budd said his faceoff specialist was the difference maker in the contest. “Declan was phenomenal at the ‘X’ today,” Budd said. “When you control ‘X’ you get possession, and that’s how you win games.” Middle Country senior attack Zach Harned assisted in his team’s first goal of the second quarter when he fed the ball to junior midfielder Cole Demaille, who found the back of the cage. Stemke crossed the ball over to Emerson next, who sent home his second goal of the game to take a commanding 6-0 lead. “We knew their goalie was good, but we came out firing and we were really amped when we went up 6-0,” Harned said. “We came out clean, we maintained possession and we played hard.” East Islip wouldn’t go quietly though, and rattled off three unanswered goals in less than three minutes late in the half, to

keep Middle Country’s defense on its toes. Harned halted the Redmen’s scoring spree, and blasted a shot to the back of the cage to bring the halftime score to 7-3. East Islip found the cage late in the third to trim the deficit to three, and Middle Country failed to find the cage until halfway through the final quarter when Stemke moved down the right sideline, crossed to midfield and scored his second goal of the game for an 8-4 lead. East Islip tallied one more goal with three minutes left to play, and despite Middle Country being a man down off a penalty with 2:45 left to play, the Mad Dogs defense stood its ground. “We stepped it up on offense, and then our goalie made a big defensive stop at the end of the game,” Emerson said. With the nonleague win, Middle Country ended its five-game losing streak and improved to 3-5 overall, with a 2-4 League I record. East Islip fell to 2-6 overall. “The key to the game was us getting out to a 4-0 lead in the first quarter,” Canevari said. “Even though they came back, we gave ourselves a sizable margin that we could work with. I just focused on getting possession at the ‘X’; we haven’t been doing that lately — to get possession, get the ball to our attackers’ sticks to win the game.” The Mad Dogs hosted Lindenhurst yesterday, Wednesday, but results were not available by press time.

port for the lake. “Years ago, this was a resort,” she said. “There were tons of beachfronts, there were cabins and cabanas. This is something we all could be proud of — it could be a site where people recreate.” Kennedy said she hoped a united front could attract more foot traffic and fishing to the lake. She stood along the waters on Tuesday morning and said she was anxious to see the kinds of results the Stony Brook students help to find. “I am dying to know what the pH levels are at the bottom of the lake,” she said. Lawmakers and Lake Ronkonkoma advocates said one of the biggest hurdles in the way of cleaner waters rested in the population of Canada geese gaggling around the area. As more geese make their way in and around the lake, the nitrogen in their waste pollutes the water. Volunteers with the Lake Ronkonkoma civic had to sweep the length of the dock Tuesday morning, as Pfeiffer prepared for the students, in order to rid it of geese excrement. “To help the lake, relocating or terminating some of the geese might not be a bad idea,” Brookhaven Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) said. The students could be funneling data to the different municipalities overseeing the lake by the end of the summer. “You want a report that will spell out how to improve the clarity of this water,” Romaine said. “The students are welcome back anytime.” Photos by Phil Corso

Arlene Barresi Arlene Barresi has been on the board for the last nine years and is seeking a fourth term. Barresi said she has enjoyed her time on the board and is hoping to get a chance at another term. “We’re in a good place now,” she said. “We have our bond and I want to see it through.” Last November, the community approved an approximately $125 million bond for capital improvements and security upgrades to the district’s 15 schools. “We’ve come through very hard

times and now we’re doing good, and I want to be a part of that,” Barresi said. In the past, the district has faced aid cuts, which forced the board and the district to make some cuts. The district, like many across Long Island, is beginning to slowly restore offerings and Barresi hopes to be part of it. On her wish list: an art and music teacher for kindergarten students. Currently, kindergarten teachers provide instruction on the subjects. Barresi added that she would like to provide younger students who are struggling with additional help, instead of letting problems progress. In addition, she wants high school students to be prepared for life after they graduate, regardless of their path. “I would like to see more technology programs so people are not only college ready but career ready,” she said.

Compassionate caring, personalized service.

OPINION EDITORIAL

We can do better

You know you’re from Long Island when … 1. You drive your car everywhere, including just up the road to the drug store or 7-Eleven. There is a car in your driveway or garage for every person in your house. 2. You water your lawn and plants even when it has recently rained because it’s on a timer and you just left it. 3. You pass at least one dead animal lying on the side of the road every day. 4. You have access to delicious foods imported from all over the country and the world. 5. You live in a terribly wasteful society. Earth Day gives us time to reflect on what we do every day that affects the environment, both here on Long Island and the nation as a whole.

We burn up gas for every small trip we make, when we could walk or bike if we weren’t so rushed or lazy. We waste water by taking long showers or leaving the faucet on as we brush our teeth. We flush pills down the toilet or use a paper cup for coffee every morning or unnecessarily go through a ton of plastic shopping bags. Almost all of us are guilty of at least one of these things, which all put strain on Mother Earth. But this is the only home we have — for now — so we should get our heads in the game. Please join us in thinking about the impact of our everyday actions on the environment and make a commitment to cut out or reduce just one of those negative actions year-round — not just on a day like Earth Day. A small change blazes the trail for larger ones, so it’s a good place to start.

Protecting our true veterans

To ThE EdiTor: Last year, members of the American Legion Post 694 approached me with the idea of enacting a Suffolk County law to protect the honor of our decorated veterans; mirroring the federal Stolen Valor Act. They made a compelling case for why a local law was needed after witnessing individuals impersonating decorated veterans as a means to solicit funds. I was surprised to learn that in Suffolk County such deceitful acts, tarnishing the accomplishments of brave men and women, were being committed for monetary gain. In response, I have sponsored a local law that will make it a misdemeanor in Suffolk County for any person to fraudulently market themselves as a decorated veteran while soliciting funds. This local law will not only signal to potential offenders that such disgrace-

ful actions will not be tolerated, but will expedite justice on the local level. I congratulate and thank the local veterans in my district for taking action on this issue. I am grateful that my colleagues have joined me in passing this bill to uphold the integrity of our decorated veterans and the country they call home. Legislator William “Doc” Spencer Centerport

Twin experiments in space

D. None of the above by DaNiel DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

n the course of a month, two events have occurred that, perhaps some time in the next several decades, may help people make that incredibly long journey to Mars. First, Scott Kelly went up in space. OK, so, that’s not such a shocker. Kelly is an astronaut and that’s what astronauts do. What makes Kelly’s trip different, how-

ever, is that he plans to spend an entire year at the International Space Station, setting an American record for the longest time away from Earth. Kelly’s identical twin Mark, a retired astronaut and husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, will of course spend that same year on Earth. Having identical twins in two places for the same period of time presents an incredible opportunity. Mark is in reality the “control” in the experiment, giving NASA, doctors and anyone else interested in the effects of prolonged periods of time in space an opportunity to see how the two brothers react differently to different environments. Identical twins present that rare opportunity to rule out the nature part of the nature-nurture dynamic. Some day, the information NASA records from the Kelly twins will help us understand the kinds of preparations necessary to safeguard any would-be space

traveler from the harmful effects of higher radiation and no gravity for a journey to Mars that by current technology would take some 250 days. After all, our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. Just because we’ve figured out to send ourselves deep into space doesn’t mean we can suddenly fine-tune the gift of our biological systems the way we might raise a heat shield on a space module. A month after Scott Kelly returned to the ISS, where he’d spent considerable time on previous missions, a team of scientists, led by Javier Martin-Torres, a Spanish researcher who is a professor in Sweden and used to work in the United States at NASA, published a study based on a year’s worth of meteorological data from the Red Planet. As it turns out, Martin-Torres and his team have determined it is highly likely Mars has liquid water — today. It’s not enough water to open a super-exclusive

pool club or to plant a couple of dozen grape trees to cultivate a deep-space vineyard for the elite and refined palates of the world’s wealthiest wine lovers. The scientists recorded readings through the Mars rover Curiosity of water that likely evaporates during the Martian day and forms again during the cold night as perchlorate salts melt any frozen water vapor. This study, Martin-Torres suggested, may have implications for planetary protection policies. The Committee on Space Research may look carefully at places where spacecraft couldn’t land on Mars out of concern that any vehicle might contaminate the planet by introducing new organisms. The presence of water speaks to us because it makes up more than 60 percent of our own bodies. Water also is a key element to life on our blue planet, raising the question about whether life, even in the form of small microbes, could use it to survive.

Our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. This Martian water, however, isn’t exactly a refreshing stream. It’s probably up to three-and-ahalf times as salty as the water in the Dead Sea, Martin-Torres said. The saltiness, radiation and numerous other factors make that water inhospitable to life, even on a microbial scale. “The conditions are terrible,” admitted Martin-Torres. Still, “it’s better to have water than not to have it.” Besides, while it’s likely that any life on Mars would struggle to survive in that water, “nature always surprises us.” Daniel Dunaief’s recent book, “The Other Parent,” may be purchased online from www.tbrnewsmedia.com/ebooks.

Do we negotiate with Iran or not?

between you and me by leah S. DuNaief

vtimes@tbrnewspapers.com

o negotiate or not to negotiate, that is the question. At least that is how our mealtime conversations in the last week started on the subject of a possible treaty with Iran. It is a polarizing issue, and almost everyone I’ve shared a meal with has had a strong opinion on the matter. “Don’t trust them. They cannot be held to any agreement they sign. Are we listening to what Supreme Leader Khamenei is saying or do we think it’s all rhetoric to rally his right wing?”

“We should definitely negotiate with them and at least try to postpone the production of a bomb in that volatile part of the world. We’ll be able to know if they are reneging because we have satellites and Israel has spies all over the country,” is another perspective. “What harm can negotiations do?” “What harm? What is it that brought the Iranians to the negotiation table to begin with? The economic sanctions are having a real effect on their country. They just want us to lift them and to achieve that, they will agree to anything for now,” comes the retort. And so the back-and-forth goes. This time in our 21st century has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Munich and the Neville Chamberlain agreement with Hitler over the fate of Czechoslovakia in 1938. Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937-40, as Hitler was ramping up his aggression, and he desperately wanted to keep peace and stability within Europe. To that end, he is widely remembered for his attempt at appeasement of Hitler with the Munich Agreement that both men signed.

Chamberlain had worked hard to get that treaty, traveling to Germany three times to meet with the dictator before bringing back that paper, along with the words, “peace for our time.” Although Czechoslovakia was effectively sacrificed in the deal, most of the British population, including King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, were ecstatically happy that Chamberlain had brought at least the possibility of peace to them. One who objected strenuously was, we know, Winston Churchill, who declared that England had been offered a choice between war and shame at Munich. She had chosen shame, he continued, and will get war. Indeed, Churchill felt that by Chamberlain’s drift and surrender to Hitler’s territorial demands, the prime minister had almost fatally delayed the need for Britain to arm and to pull together European allies. Chamberlain had also seemed to Hitler as being weak. “Our enemies are small worms,” Hitler later scoffed. “I saw them at Munich.” Peace is an almost universal yearning; only aggressors want

war. Can we condemn Chamberlain for striving to guarantee peace — or President Obama for that matter? While the world stage is not exactly the same now as in 1938, we know that Iran has fueled proxy wars in an aggressive attempt to increase its power in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia had launched bombing missions to push back Iran, and the United States has moved ships off the Yemen coast in an attempt to thwart arms shipments getting into terrorists’ hands. Overhanging the horror of slaughter and brutality is the real prospect that Iran is on the threshold of developing a game-changing atom bomb, much as Germany was during World War II. When von Ribbentrop, Hitler’s foreign minister, objected to the Munich Agreement that Hitler had signed, pledging no further hostilities once he annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, Hitler responded with, “Oh don’t take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever.” Now as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lays out the terms of a possible agreement

Peace is an almost universal yearning.

from the negotiations, Khamenei has stopped short of endorsing them. When Chamberlain was admonished by Churchill to arm Britain in the face of coming war, the prime minister refused to do so wholeheartedly because he feared that Hitler would think he was walking away from the Munich accord. Yes, let’s negotiate. And let’s remember the key to any successful pullback is President Ronald Reagan’s famous line: “Trust, but verify.” Let’s also remember that we broke the back of the Soviet Union by winning an economic war, despite the fact that both sides had the bomb. The Iranians are at the negotiating table because the economic sanctions are hurting — or like Hitler, they are merely stalling for time. Finally, we have learned what Chamberlain did not: That a well-armed and advanced nation is the best deterrent to war.
