Shoreham land saved from solar farm swap To preserve it, they plan to purchase it. For years, Assemblyman Steve Englebright (D-Setauket) and his colleagues have fought tooth and nail to make the scenic stretch of woodland surrounding an abandoned Shoreham nuclear power plant off-limits to developers. In January, he co-sponsored legislation to prevent the site from being dismantled for solar farm installation. And as of this month, under legislative approval in the state’s recently passed budget, not only has more than 800 acres of the site been added to the publicly protected Central Pine Barrens preservation area, as well as portions of Mastic Woods, elected officials have pushed for the state to buy the parcel of land altogether. Englebright announced Apr. 4 that, as per an agreement passed by state officials the previous week, roughly 840 acres of the property — made up of rolling hills, cliffs and various species of wildlife — is set to be purchased from its current owner, National Grid, in increments over the course of a few years, beginning in 2019. He said he and his fellow officials will urge Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) to fund the acquisition, projecting that it could cost between $20-$50 million. But a final price won’t be known until the land is appraised, he said. At this point, he said there is roughly $36 million in the state budget this year for land acquisition, from which funds can be pulled to begin the process. He said National Grid has signed an agreement for the sale of the property and, since the acreage lies within the ShorehamWading River school district, taxes will be paid by the state on behalf of the school. By turning the Shoreham land into state property, Englebright, as well as state Sen. Ken LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) and Brookhaven Town Supervisor Ed Romaine (R), longtime ralliers against ecosystem disturbance, hope to be able to better utilize its “unique natural characteristics” and improve its ground and surface water quality and coastal resiliency, as well as support tourism. “We’ve recovered the Shoreham property

and we’re stepping off into the direction of doing positive things, so stay tuned,” Englebright said. In his announcement at the beginning of the month, he said, “[That] property is one of New York’s largest remaining original coastal forest tracts as its rugged terrain historically precluded farming activities and clear cutting. Preservation of this museum-piece landscape as well as ensuring public access is a triumph for the protection of Long Island’s natural history heritage.” Last year, Englebright proposed building a state park on the site as an alternative to National Grid’s plan to bulldoze its forest to build a solar farm in its footprint. Together with the help of LaValle at the beginning of the year, Englebright drafted a bill calling for the expansion of the Central Pine Barrens to protect the Shoreham site and Mastic Woods — a 100-acre parcel also in danger of being deforested for a solar farm. The elected officials argued against “pitting greens against greens,” saying that while solar panels provide an important renewable energy source, they should not be installed “on pristine ecosystems.” Cuomo ended up vetoing that bill, but passed the Shoreham portion of it less than a month later. The Mastic acreage is still slated for a solar farm installation to Englebright’s dismay, but he said he’s not giving up on saving it. “My hope is that we can still see some leadership at the state level to provide alternative sites for solar development,” he said, suggesting the state office building in Hauppauge, which includes a large section of parking lots. “We should encourage solar installation, but work to move the project to a more worthy, and less destructive, site.” Richard Amper, executive director of the Long Island Pine Barrens Society, commended the purchase of the property. “This is one of the most important [proposed state] acquisitions in the history of the Pine Barrens and other woodland preservations over the years,” Amper said. “I think that it’s terrific that we are still protecting our woodlands. I think Long Island has made up its mind … and is in the process of putting a provision into their solar codes that say, ‘Thou shall not cut down trees for solar.’”

Violent crime, overdoses down; drug seizures up so far in ‘18 Suffolk County is off to a safer start in 2018. Violent crime, drug overdoses and fatal motor vehicle crashes are all trending in the right direction in the first quarter of 2018 compared to the same time period last year, according to data announced April 4 by then Suffolk County Police Department Acting Commissioner Stuart Cameron. Geraldine Hart, Suffolk County’s first female police commissioner, took the helm and officially began her tenure, according to county Executive Steve Bellone (D). Homicides, rape, robbery and aggravated assault combined, dropped almost 19 percent when comparing the first three months of 2018 to the same period in 2017, according to the department. During the first quarter of 2017, 17 people were injured or killed by gunfire in Suffolk County. Nine people have been injured or killed by gunfire in 2018 so far, representing a 47 percent decrease. Drug overdoses during that time period have also dropped 42 percent, according to SCPD, citing a 25 percent increase in narcotics-related search warrants so far in 2018. During those searches, detectives

arrested 155 people and seized 43 guns, police said. In 2018, 871 grams of heroin have been seized in Suffolk County and 3,732 grams of cocaine, representing 189 percent and 724 percent increases respectively compared to January through March 2017. “The statistics in the first quarter of 2018 show impressive results which are reflective of the hard work done by the men and women of this department,” Cameron said, adding that the encouraging statistics also came despite a 17 percent reduction in overtime costs. Bellone was complimentary of the SCPD in light of the announcement of the statistics. “Once again, the hard work of the men and women of the SCPD has led to the lowest levels of crime in recorded history,” he said. “Not only does this reaffirm that our crimefighting strategies are working, we are doing this in the most cost-effective way possible.” Despite the positive countywide signs related to violent crimes, the 6th Precinct is not yet enjoying such a trend in 2018. This year to date, 36 violent crimes have occurred, compared to 31 in 2017’s first quarter. Specifically, more aggravated assaults and robberies have been committed in 2018 than in 2017. Cameron also touted a 25 percent first quarter decrease in fatal motor vehicle crashes

and an 11 percent reduction in crashes resulting in injuries. “These results reflect the department’s increased focus on traffic enforcement, the incorporation of an effective intelligence-driven

model to traffic enforcement and the department’s new Alarm Management Program, which has freed up patrol time to allow for increased enforcement,” a press release from the department said.

Editorial comment

Kate Browning

Browning is the former 3rd District Suffolk County legislator, a position she held beginning in 2005 before being term limited out of office. She was born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, before moving to Germany at 19 years old and eventually landing in Shirley with her husband Steve in 1989. The mother of three was a bus driver in the William Floyd School District prior to taking office. “Our district deserves a representative that is going to fight for working families in Suffolk County,” Browning says in a section of her website entitled “Why I’m running,” while also touting her ability to work across the political aisle. “I’ve focused on quality of life issues, rehabilitating foreclosed zombie homes and selling them to first-time home buyers, keeping them away from speculators and absentee landlords. And I’ve secured funding for clean water infrastructure to protect our drinking water and our shorelines.”

Elaine DiMasi

DiMasi, a political newcomer, was a federal contractor for over 20 years in addition to more than two decades of experience as a project manager and physicist at Brookhaven National Lab. She describes herself as an environmentalist with firsthand knowledge about the potential to jump-start the local economy while safeguarding the environment through the establishment of clean energy jobs. “I dare to believe in a government that cares for all its people equally, is responsive to them and their concerns,” she says on her campaign website. “An American future that values equality for its people that opens doors of opportunity for all. An America that leads by example through its laws and practices to ensure the dignity, well-being, and freedom of all people.”

Perry Gershon

Gershon wastes no time in his personal bio on his campaign website declaring he’s a businessman, and not a career politician, having spent more than 25 years

in commercial real estate finance. The firsttime runner for office says his decision to leave the private sector and seek political office is a byproduct of outrage at the state of politics in Washington, D.C. He points to his entrepreneurial spirit and ability to build consensus among diverse parties as evidence of his qualifications to represent NY1. “I’m fed up,” he says on his campaign website as to why he’s running. “It’s time Long Island had a strong voice to fight for high-paying jobs, affordable health care, high-quality education and clean air and water. Rather than stand by as Donald Trump and Washington politicians try to divide us, we can rebuild the middle class.” Gershon and his wife Lisa have two sons and live on the South Fork.

David Pechefsky

Pechefsky has extensive experience in government despite never holding elected office. The 1986 valedictorian at PatchogueMedford High School has held various positions in government and politics during the last 20 years, including as a longtime staffer for the New York City Council, as well as a consultant for the National Democratic Institute from 2010-13. There, he worked to establish a legislative budget office to serve the Congress of Liberia. He also managed a U.S. government-funded program to strengthen the parliament of Somalia. He’s on leave from his current job as a senior adviser with Generation Citizen, a nonprofit with the goal of fostering civic engagement. “I am running for Congress because we need to put in place policies that make our economy work for everyone, not just the wealthy,” he says on his website. “I’ve spent my career working in government here in America and as an adviser to governments around the world and know how government can and should work to make things better for all us.”

Vivian Viloria-Fisher

Viloria-Fisher was also a Suffolk County legislator, serving the 5th District 13 years beginning in 1999. She was born in the Dominican Republic before moving to New York with her family as a child. She also worked as a Spanish teacher in Three Village school district for 12 years. “As your representative, I will: fight for a national living wage; support job growth in sustainable energy and medical research industries; reinstate tax deductions for workers and students,” she says on her website, among other legislative priorities. She touts her work on expanding public transportation services, creating a Welfare-to-Work commission in the county and her support for marriage equality prior to its legalization in New York among her proudest accomplishments.

Student’s research steals the show

Rocky Point senior Kyle Markland amassed several science accolades during his academic journey, and this winter, he added three more titles to his already impressive resume. Markland was named a winner at the regional Junior Science and Humanities Symposium, one of 14 at the New York State Science and Engineering Fair. He also received the Intel Award for Excellence in Computer Science at the Long Island Fair. As a regional winner, Markland will advance to the nationals in Hunt Valley, Maryland, from May 2 to 5 and, as a state winner, advances to the International Science and Engineering Fair, held in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in late May. He was presented with a $200 scholarship. Markland’s project, A Novel Kalman Filter Latent State Estimator for GPS/INS Reference Point Acquisition, was designed to improve the accuracy of GPS units, like those used in cars. He wrote a software program to factor out uncertain measurements using a Kalman filter (software built into the program). He focused primarily on getting a more accurate initial reference point for the GPS, and tested the program using a robotic system he designed and built. Markland found that he

could obtain a more accurate initial reference point using the Kalman filter. “Accurate, real-time position information is essential to realizing autonomous vehicle technology in everyday life,” Markland said. “GPS currently does not meet the accuracy needs of autonomous vehicles, as its accuracy diminishes in urban environments. An inertial navigation system can provide a more accurate position than GPS and is not adversely affected by environmental conditions. The objective of this engineering project creates a software program that incorporated a Kalman filter that processed GPS measurements to create an accurate GPS reference point for an INS.”

Suffolk signs on to state’s lawsuit against EPA ELANA GLOWATZ

Legislators join Brookhaven, Southold towns in opposing dumping into LI Sound BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Suffolk County has signed off on joining New York State in suing the Environmental Protection Agency for dumping dredged materials in Long Island Sound. Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) announced last summer the state would be taking legal action against the EPA after in 2016 the agency moved to increase the number of open water dumping sites in the Sound from two to three, despite a call from state government leaders of both New York and Connecticut in 2005 to reduce and eventually eliminate the practice of dumping in the Sound. The Eastern Long Island Sound Disposal Site, now a permanent open water site for the disposal of dredged materials, is midway between Connecticut and New York, and less than 1.5 nautical miles from Fishers Island, which is part of Southold Town and Suffolk County, despite technically being in Connecticut’s waters. The disposal site is in an area that had never before been used for open water disposal. Legislator Al Krupski (D-Cutchogue), who represents Southold, Riverhead and communities in eastern Brookhaven, initiated the legislation directing Suffolk County to join the action against the EPA. “This is another step in a decades-long fight to try and get the EPA to play by the

Bruce Kaifler, a pastor at the church. “She has led with such compassion that it has set the tone for what is outreach for the church. That is what has lent itself to the long-term success of the program.” Moor’s replacement, Lori Presser, has been with the soup kitchen for five years and said she’s excited to take the reins. The former director’s “biggest strength is she can understand what everybody needs,” Presser said of Moor. “You can’t imagine the wealth of knowledge that Carol has in here — its connections, it’s the way she treats people, it’s her organizational skills, it’s everything.” Moor said she believes Presser will help take the program into the future. “She’s really, really capable, she’s already brought new ideas and new energy,” Moor said. “When you’ve done something for

this long you kind of let it keep going the way it is — it needs growth and change because the world changes.” Kaifler said Presser will help with a smooth, easy transition. “She was thoughtfully considered and elected,” he said. “She has shown to be such a beautiful continuation of Carol’s primary principles of kindness, compassion and respect.” Invited In tries to maintain its inviting atmosphere not just in ambiance but in the food that’s served, keeping the meals whole, hearty and traditional. Recently the soup kitchen served beef enchilada casserole. It was a slight deviation from the usual chicken, pasta or meatloaf. “These are hot meals, and there are not a lot of organizations that provide hot meals,” said Suffolk County Legislator Sarah Anker (D-Mount Sinai), who honored Moor with a proclamation for her nearly three decades of service. “Carol has just been an angel in what she’s been able to provide to so many people.” Invited In soup kitchen services are held at 5 p.m. every Thursday at 716 Route 25A in Rocky Point. The nonprofit accepts donations in person, through the mail or online at www.invitedin.org.

Protection Agency’s willingness to allow it.” Cuomo made the case against expanded dumping when the lawsuit was announced. “We will continue to do everything in our power to protect New York’s environment, and with the EPA’s unfathomable and destructive decision to turn the eastern Long Island Sound into a dumping ground — now is the time for action,” Cuomo said in 2016. “We will establish that this designation not only poses a major threat to a significant commercial and recreational resource, but that it also undermines New York’s long-standing efforts to end dumping in our treasured waters.” Last year, Brookhaven and Southold towns joined the lawsuit, which contends the EPA failed to adequately investigate alternatives to open water disposal and overestimated the need for the new site. It also alleges the Long Island Sound Dredged Material Management Plan, which was

approved by the EPA, violates the Ocean Dumping Act and Coastal Zone Management Act, and cited a “failure to address environmental impacts on the Long Island Sound.” The body of water was designated an Estuary of National Significance by the EPA in 1988 and is recognized as an important economic engine for Suffolk County and all of Long Island, supporting both recreational and commercial businesses and contributing billions of dollars to the regional economy. “We’re here to send a very strong message — that we are opposed to dumping in the Sound,” Romaine said during a press conference Aug. 28 at Cedar Beach in Mount Sinai. “The State of New York and this governor, Andrew Cuomo, has done a great service to this state and to the residents of Long Island by working to enjoin, in the court, the EPA from allowing continued dumping in the Sound.”

Bike trails reopen at RP Pine Barrens

U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin speaks on behalf of local anglers at Mascot Dock in Patchogue.

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Mountain bike trails on four properties managed by New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in Suffolk County reopened April 6. The trail closures had been in place due to small game and deer shotgun hunting seasons and to prevent excessive impacts to trails due to the annual spring thaw cycle. “DEC makes every effort to manage its 16,843 acres of upland properties in the most sustainable manner possible,” DEC Regional Director Carrie Meek Gallagher said. “The annual closure of the mountain biking trails in the fall prevents conflict between hunting groups and cyclists and the continued closure into early spring allows the trails to stay less rutted, which increases trail safety.”

The DEC properties where mountain bike trail closures have been lifted are: • Otis Pike Preserve • Rocky Point Pine Barrens State Forest • Eastport Pine Barrens State Forest Mountain biking is allowed year-round on DEC’s Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve in Deer Park, which features approximately 12.3 miles of mountain biking trails, and on DEC’s Calverton Pine Barrens State Forest. Bicyclists on DEC property must: • Ride only on marked bicycling trails, except on the Otis Pike Preserve where only established roads may be used. • Cyclists must wear hard-shell helmets and eye protection and shall yield to official vehicles and equipment, horseback riders and hikers. • Ride only between the hours of dawn and dusk.

BY DESIRÉE KEEGAN DESIREE@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Local anglers aren’t taking the marine fisheries commission’s bait. After learning the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission decided it would cut New York’s sea bass allocation quota by 12 percent while increasing that of neighboring states, small business owners and local fisherman joined forces with politicians to make a plea in Patchogue. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) was with state Assemblyman Dean Murray (REast Patchogue) April 9 at Mascot Dock to take what they called an aggressive stand against an unfair decision, saying the cut is coming even though black sea bass stock has rebounded — currently 240 percent greater than target biomass, or the volume of organisms in a given area. By issuing its own set of regulations for black sea bass fishing this season and entering into noncompliance, the state can take a stand against what many are saying is an inequitable decision that could further harm New York’s already struggling anglers. “Going into noncompliance is never the first option, but it may be the only one in taking a stand for New York anglers who year after year continue to get screwed,” Zeldin said. “With the vast majority of Long Island fishing taking place in waters shared with New Jersey and Connecticut — the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound — it is unfair that New York anglers are, once again, being penalized with smaller fishing quotas.”

Anglers rally against sea bass quota cuts

— James Schneider

‘Going into noncompliance is never the first option, but it may be the only one in taking a stand for New York anglers who ... continue to get screwed.’ — Lee Zeldin He pointed to the fact that two boats fishing could be sitting next to each other with one allowed to catch up to double the amount of the other. “The hardworking recreational fishing community is rallied together in an attempt to keep New York anglers on par with its neighboring states,” said Huntington captain James Schneider. “The sea bass stocks are extremely healthy. This is a valuable resource for all the citizens to utilize, just like the corn in Iowa and oil in Alaska.” Long Island’s largest one-day fishing event also took place at St. Joseph’s College the same day in Patchogue, bringing together fishermen and stakeholders of Long Island’s maritime economy from across the Island. New York State plans to sue the federal government if it loses an appeal against the restrictions on recreational fishery for black sea bass, state officials have said. Last year, the state of New Jersey successfully fought quota restrictions on fluke and won once going before the U.S. secretary of commerce. “The people of the marine district of New York will not accept or endorse any options with a cut to our sea bass regulations in 2018,” Center Moriches captain Joe Tangel said. “The time is now for the state, it’s stakeholders and our representatives to take a stand.” DEC marine resources chief Jim Gilmore warned that noncompliance, if rejected by federal regulators, could lead to a shortened or eliminated season for 2019 if there is overfishing this year.

Mustangs still perfect in League VII BY BILL LANDON Jared Donnelly just keeps swinging away. Mount Sinai’s senior designated hitter went 2-for-2 with a double, three RBIs and three runs scored to lead the Mustangs to a 15-6 win over the visiting Miller Place Panthers Apr. 16. Senior first baseman Ryan Picarello was 2-for-3 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored to keep Mount Sinai perfect (6-0) atop the League VII leaderboard. Senior starting pitcher George Rainer walked three and allowed three earned runs while striking out seven over six innings. “Our lineup has gotten much better — our one through nine can hit the ball really well,” Picarello said. “We looked the other way, we hit a few holes and we had some good swings.” Miller Place’s Nolan White and Rob Morales had hits that led to scores in the first for an early lead, but starting pitcher Tom Nealis struggled against a fierce lineup. Picarello, Donnelly, sophomore catcher Nick Cergol, senior outfielder Ethan Angress and sophomore infielder R.J. Kehoe’s recorded hits to get on base in the second to help Mount Sinai to a 7-3 lead.

The Panthers rallied once again in the top of the third, with Morales driving in Kevin Bowrosen, but Mount Sinai sophomore outfielder Paul Gomes extinguished any chance of a comeback when he rushed to shallow center field to make a diving catch on a rapidly dropping ball. “I got a bad jump on it — my first step was back — so I had to make it up with that dive,” Gomes said. “It stayed in my glove and I made the throw. I got lucky.” It was all the Panthers’ offense could muster as the Mustangs got back to work with Kehoe, Gomes, Donnelly and sophomore second baseman T.J. Werner crossing the plate in the bottom of the third for a 6-run lead, 11-5. Rainer said he felt confident on the mound with his comfortable lead. “Once we got ahead I just wanted to stay ahead in the count,” he said. “We just kept tacking on runs and that helped me a lot out there. Because it was so windy, I had to make sure I commanded my fastball.” Head coach Eric Reichenbach said although his Mustangs (7-1 overall) have five shutouts so far this year and boast multiple sluggers, he thinks his team will need to work on playing a more complete game to be able to make a deep run. Donnelly is now boasting a .462 batting average and .576 on base percentage. He’s has 12 hits, 13 RBIs and 13 runs over

Mount Sinai’s eight games. Picarello has 11 hits over eight games, driving in eight runs and scoring 12. He has a .478 average and .586 on base percentage. “We got a good lead, especially through the first few innings, but then we took our foot off the gas,” Reichenbach said. “I like what I see out of my offense — I’ve got a lot of big bats in the lineup, they’re squaring up a lot of baseballs — and we’ve got some team defense.”

OPINION Editorial

The Democratic primary election will be June 26.

Don’t dilute the party When it comes to having options to choose from, sometimes less is more. As of April 12, the Democratic nominees to run against 1st Congressional District U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley) have dwindled down to five from seven. While it’s nice to see new and old faces throwing their hats into the political ring — for which we wholeheartedly commend them — a five-way race in the Democratic primary could create a situation in which voters are overloaded with information and less prepared to cast the vote that makes the most sense for them and the district as a whole come November. With some signs of internal fighting going on between the candidates already, it’s not a leap to think the longer five people are alive in the race the muddier the ideologies of the party locally will get, similarly to the way the 2016 presidential primary featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vermont) and Hillary Clinton played out, but moreso. Condensing the nominees would show unification within the party and a clearer focus come Election Day, which regardless of party should be a priority for voters on both sides seeking relevant personal representation in the federal government. While we understand following the November 2016 election of President Donald Trump (R) and locally with Zeldin that those on the other side are vocal and motivated, it would be a mistake to allow infighting to harm the eventual primary winner’s chances in the general. If those running can engage in substantive policy discussions about how they differ and how they are the same, an admittedly near-impossible task with five candidates, ultimate party unification and digestible information for those heading to the polls would likely be the byproduct, and that is a good thing for everyone in New York’s 1st Congressional District, party be damned. If Democrats cannot find a way to do this, it will be to their ultimate detriment, as they can rest assured the Republican party will undoubtedly rally behind its candidate well before November. A five-legged beast proved to be a challenge for Harry Potter, and a five-headed one on primary day could be just as scary for voters.

Letters to the editor

Stand up for teachers fighting back Every child, regardless of where they grow up or how much their parents make, should be able receive a quality public school education. But in Republican-controlled states, an anti-union, anti-worker agenda has failed our public schools, our teachers and our students. From the local to the national level, we should be investing in our future by supporting our schools and teachers. Instead, Republicans have cut public school funding, leaving schools with damaged facilities, out-of-date textbooks, obsolete technology and declining pay for teachers. And students have been forced to deal with the results. But in this new age of activism, teachers are stepping up and fighting back. And it is their labor union that is on the forefront for positive change. When the Republicancontrolled state government in West Virginia refused to offer teachers competitive compensation, teachers put their foot down and went on strike, eventually winning a 5 percent raise. They proved that teachers’ unions can win, even in the reddest states. And it’s not just West Virginia. In red states across the country — Oklahoma, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana — teachers are saying enough is enough and

going on or planning to strike to stand up for better compensation and resources. Brave teachers show how important it is to support public schools, teachers and students. Teachers, and teachers’ unions, know what’s best for their students. Public schools are the bedrock of American education and must be fully funded, with cutting-edge technology, modern facilities and updated textbooks. Teachers are the core of public schools and governments must listen to them. The influence teachers have on our children’s future means that public schools need to offer competitive salaries. Federal, state and local governments should commit to raising teachers’ salaries to match the value they give our kids. Locally in Suffolk County, we must stop the focus on test scores, which drains money from the system in high poverty areas — nobody knows this better than our teachers and their union. The strikes call attention to our need to act, but also show the importance of unions. It was the union that organized and brought attention to these issues. Without unions, these problems would continue to go unaddressed. Unions are a critical component of our economy and middle class, now more than ever.

In Suffolk County, we know the value of well-funded public schools, top-quality teachers and an enriching educational environment, and deserve representatives who will support these promises we make to our students and teachers. We must continue to emphasize the importance of teachers as decision makers in policy. But now, in Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley), we have a loyal member of a Republican Party that has cut teacher salaries, cut school funding and supports the voucherization of public schools. That’s why we need to vote him out of office and turn Suffolk County blue. Democrats stand up for organized labor and the middle class. While Republicans have the wrong priorities, Democrats will continue to fight for teachers and students. We need to close the achievement gap and equip all students with skills needed to succeed in our 21st century economy. In Congress, I’ll put teachers and students first by fully funding our public schools, reducing class sizes, ensuring students have the resources needed for learning and retaining our best teachers in the profession.

Rep. Zeldin’s bill to help big banks On Apr. 11, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 4293, the deceptively named Stress Test Improvement Act of 2017, introduced by U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-Shirley). What this bill actually does is weaken key protections of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which is designed to prevent another financial meltdown like the one in 2008. The Dodd-Frank stress test measures a bank’s financial soundness and ability to survive a downturn in the economy without collapsing. It’s conducted by the Federal Reserve and based on data provided by the bank. Currently, banks are subjected to stress testing twice a year, using three different scenarios, and taking into account a bank’s internal controls, i.e., data analysis and

risk management practices. Zeldin’s bill weakens all these factors. Instead of twice, stress testing would be conducted only once a year. Instead of three scenarios, there would be only two and consideration of a bank’s internal controls is eliminated entirely. As the 2008 meltdown revealed, banks had sloppy or nonexistent internal controls preventing them from understanding the worthlessness of the toxic assets carried on their books. Some of these banks collapsed. In his press release touting his bill, Zeldin speaks of community banks and “hardworking men and women.” In reality, DoddFrank stress testing applies only to financial institutions with $50 billion or more on their balance sheet — in other words, the biggest 30 to 40 banks in the country like Wells Fargo, Citigroup and

Goldman Sachs. It has nothing to do with community banks. The real beneficiaries of this bill are big Wall Street banks, not “hardworking men and women.” In fact, the Federal Reserve has already removed the requirement regarding internal controls from banks with balance sheets of less than $250 billion. That means only the 15 largest banks in the country will benefit from this key section of Zeldin’s bill. My question to Zeldin is: Why are you spending so much time and effort on helping Wall Street megabanks, which collectively made more than $170 billion in profits in 2016, instead of on the problems of the real “hardworking men and women” of your district?

A standardized test for expectant parents

friend recently told me she’s pregnant with her first child. She sounded thrilled and anxious. She is, as I’ve known for years, incredibly organized and efficient. She has been a standout in her job for several years. “What’s the concern?” I asked. “Everything,” she giggled. As my children take one standardized test after another, I thought perhaps I would share a test-format version of what to expect when you’re expecting. No. 2 pencils By Daniel Dunaief ready? OK, let’s begin: Question 1: Before the baby is born, you should: a. Panic buy everything, including a crib and six months worth of food and clothing. You never know if you’ll be trapped in your house without access to the outside world. b. Sleep as much as you can because the days of sleeping at your leisure are over. c. Read everything you can about

D. None of the above

parenting and the delivery, and then realize that every process, including childbirth, can go off script. d. Don’t tell anyone because people will write about you. Question 2: When people give you advice, you should: a. Write everything down because friends, family and strangers always know better and will enlighten you with wisdom that far exceeds that which you’d get on a fortune cookie. b. Nod politely, say, “That’s a great idea,” and wonder what to eat for dinner. c. Pretend your phone is ringing. d. Ask them how many Nobel prizes their children have won. Question 3: Taking Lamaze classes can be helpful because: a. It allows you to meet parents who are older than you. b. It allows you to practice breathing together because sometimes parents forget to breathe. c. It’s so relaxing that you can doze off without punishment. d. It gives you a sense of control that you’re unlikely to have in the actual moment. Question 4: People generally love other people’s children unless: a. They are sitting on a plane near them.

b. They have to do something for them. c. The children are crying constantly and they don’t know why. d. The children have dropped or broken something. Question 5: Parents can be so tired in the early stage that they forget: a. To take pictures of everything. b. To feed themselves. c. To go to the bathroom when they need to. d. To revel in a new baby smell that will change into something much more challenging to the nose within a year. Question 6: When you have a baby, it’s a great idea to: a. Change jobs. b. Move to a new city. c. Start attending a new and rigorous educational course. d. All of the above, because you’ll never have a chance to juggle more challenges at the same time than when a baby is born. Question 7: The families of the father and mother are likely to: a. Always agree on everything you should do for the child. b. Never agree on anything you should do for a child. c. See evidence of their family’s

Be thrilled when young children come over to play with your child. b. Be worried that the young children who come over are sniffling. c. Want everyone to bathe in Purell sanitizer before coming near your child. d. Not be like me and will relax when people sneeze across the room. Question 9: You know you’ve had a great day with your child when: a. You keep replaying something he or she said or did as you’re preparing to sleep. b. You actually go to sleep instead of passing out with Oreo cookie crumbs in your mouth. c. You and your spouse are laughing, quietly, for hours before you go to sleep. d.
