The players who comprise the Bayport-Blue Point High School varsity baseball team have played with heavy hearts after they found out that teammate and friend Carlo Geronimo died from injuries suffered in a one-car crash on Middle Road early Monday morning. Geronimo, 18, of Bayport, was driving his 2000 Infiniti eastbound Monday at 1:48 a.m. with two passengers when he failed to control the vehicle through a curve on the road after passing Bayport Avenue and the car struck a tree in front of a building that houses a veterinary practice. Though the vehicle’s airbags deployed, it was unknown if Geronimo and the passengers were wearing seat belts, according to Sgt. Daniel Molloy of the Fifth Precinct. “A high rate of speed was the factor. He lost control inside of the curve and maybe overcompensated,” Molloy said. Police are now investigating the possibility that the crash resulted from a chase instigated by the passengers in Geronimo’s car, when they allegedly threw eggs at another student standing on a residential Budget deficit surfaces at Mastic Pool Lacking oversight, project ballooned out of control By SARAH HARTMANN Deflecting questions for now as to whether fraud was involved in a capital project gone financially awry, Brookhaven Town officials have reported that the costs to renovate the Mastic Pool experienced a 701 percent increase over what originally had been budgeted six years ago. The project, begun as a cosmetic renovation to the indoor pool in 2000 at a cost of $800,000, is now anticipated to cost $6.3 million. Almost half of the bloated bill was approved by the town board and funded through transfers from other capital projects, federal and state grants, and unused funds from the pool’s 2005 operating budget. Still, the town’s new finance commissioner, Kim Brandeau, reported that contracted costs as well as numerous change orders to the project have left it $2.5 million in the hole. To plug the hole and pay the contractors, the current town board passed three resolutions at its April 4 meeting. The resolutions allowed for money to be moved from another capital project to the Mastic Pool project and then increased the pool’s capital funding. Brandeau explained that while a resoluSee DEFICIT on page 12 street in Bayport, according to the Fifth Squad Detectives. Airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital, Geronimo died nine hours later. It was the sixth death of a current or former Bayport-Blue Point High School student in the past year and a half. The two other passengers were treated at Brookhaven Memorial Hospital Medical Center for minor injuries. It has been a rough few days for the baseball team, head coach Jim Moccio said, but plenty of support from the community has helped the players along, he said. With school closed for the Passover-Easter recess this week, the Phantoms squad had a 10 a.m. game scheduled at Southampton the day of the crash. The coaches and team waited approximately 10 minutes, but Geronimo, a senior and the team’s center fielder and number 3 hitter, did not show. Then the tragic news trickled out and the players were told. “Both days were tough in totally different ways,” Moccio said, referring to Monday before they knew and Tuesday when they had to play knowing See LOST on page 14 Comptroller will review town finances New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi’s office has confirmed that it is scheduled to conduct a risk assessment of the town of Brookhaven in May to determine if it is going to conduct an audit of town finances, The Long Island Advance has learned. “When we conduct a risk assessment, we look at a wide range of operational and financial issues. This is the first step of our process to determine if we would do an audit or not,” said spokesperson Jennifer Freeman. —Sarah Hartmann The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 2 Inside Patchogue Briefs .............. 3 Community News Police Blotter ................... 4 Bellport Briefs .................. 5 Mastics/Moriches Briefs ....6 Obituaries ...................... 15 Around Town .................. 16 Editorial ......................... 22 Op-Ed ............................. 23 Old Files ........................ 24 Public Notices ..................26 Classifieds ..................... 33 Sports ............................ 39 Published every Thursday Publication Office, Advance Building 20 Medford Avenue/P.O.

The store, which is run by ADV/Leuzzi Staudinger and family members, has moved four times over the years on Main Street. Generating a colony of customers Colony Shop celebrates 60th year in Patchogue By LINDA LEUZZI The Sirianni’s were choosing a First Holy Communion suit for their son, Anthony. After conferring with godmother Elizabeth Murphy, they settled on a double-breasted style. “It’s our tradition that the godmother buy the christening and First Holy Communion outfit,” said Murphy, who drove in from the Hamptons. “As well as the first car,” zinged Anthony’s dad. It’s the kind of place where a family can share a joke or two while selecting quality children’s clothing, explained mom Julianne Sirianni of The Colony Shop, and there weren’t many stores like this one left. “When we were kids, we called it the double window store,” said Sirianni, whose family lives in East Patchogue. “They had specialties and beautiful merchandise. It’s a nice warm place to come to.” That’s what Eloise Staudinger aimed for exactly 60 years ago on March 2 when she rented her first storefront in the Ackerly Building, just to the east of the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts. Staudinger initially shared the space with a man who sold ladies’ apparel. “I couldn’t call it a children’s shop or ladies’ store,” she said pragmatically, “So I called it The Colony Shop.” Staudinger is 97. Her daughter, Lorice Fiala (known as Lari), came to work in the store right out of Patchogue High School in 1953. Fiala’s niece, Lori Belmonte, also works here. The family has become about as famous a trademark as some of the clothing labels they carry. Staudinger handed over a 1963 postcard featuring Belmonte holding a princess phone, on a postcard announcing the store’s move when she was 5 years old. (There have been four Main Street locations; 79 East Main Street, 31 West Main, 32 West Main and their present, 31 East Main.)

The series has begun shooting in Vancouver. Celentano followed siblings James and Melena into Gateway Acting School, and has studied there for some years. Last year a Manhattan agent spotted her during a showcase held by Acting School Director Robin Joy Allan for her students, and Teresa began auditioning for film, television, and commercials. Celentano performed as Baby Louise in Gateway’s 2004 production of Gypsy. The Acting School is now in its thirteenth year and many of its graduates have gone on to earn degrees in the arts and have successful careers. Three Moons is a quirky drama that has been compared in tone to Northern Exposure. Set in a picturesque small town, the residents learn that a comet is heading their way, and begin to live as if today were their last. Celentano plays Lydia Montgomery, a 15-year-old who gets involved with witchcraft in an effort to save earth. The network has committed to eight episodes, the first of which will air this summer.

Liz Atwood, (left to right), Fred Atwood, chairman Hoss Miller, associate director Jo-Anne Brintrup, and trustee and treasurer Russ Moran gather in front of the LIMM’s main building. ADV/Leuzzi Majestic in more ways than one South Shore community leader Judge Frederic Atwood to be honored By LINDA LEUZZI There’s always an enduring, defining element in a person’s life, and for Judge Frederic Atwood, that would be the sea. His family had a summer home in Islip on the water and he first learned to sail and race on the Great South Bay at age 12. Atwood would meet his wife Liz, who grew up in Brookhaven hamlet and skippered her own craft from the Bellport Yacht Club, at a party after a sailing event. After they married and settled in Islip, there would be family trips to Maine with their four children on the Horace, the 46-foot motor sailboat that had been built by his father. Then there was the Korean War, where he served as a naval engineer- ing officer for two years on a destroyer escort, as well as a local stint as commodore of the Bayberry Yacht Club in Islip in the 1970s. But on Friday, April 28, what Atwood will be honored for is the time and energy he put into helping to make the Long Island Maritime Museum (LIMM) a vibrant living museum, where volunteers and shipwrights restore historic boats, children attend environmental classes, docents explain local maritime history in the various buildings and visitors come to enjoy LIMM events by the thousands. Atwood, now a trustee emeritus, was one of the original founding members of LIMM. He served as a trustee from 1973-94. “Fred Hard got me involved,” he said. “He lived across the creek from us.” Hard, the grandson of Frederick Gilbert Bourne, who built Indian Neck Hall in Oakdale, the mansion where St. John’s University is now located, owned the property where LIMM is headquartered as well as Meadow Edge and the adjoining county golf course. In the beginning, Atwood recalled, there were just a few patches of bulkheading, not a great thing for a maritime museum. “It was questionable whether we could get it dredged out and get boats on display,” he said. They also had to get a shelter for boat restoration. Eventually, the Frank F. Penney boat shop would come to the See MAJESTIC on page 9 First tax hike in 23 years Bellport’s first tax increase a result of reduced revenue from golf course By MARK NOLAN Ambulance company receives donation Brookhaven Town Councilman Timothy Mazzei (5th District) presented a $1,000 check from the town to the South Country Ambulance Company recently. Mazzei gave the check to the ambulance company during its annual installation dinner on April 1. Pictured (from left) are: Mazzei with South Country Ambulance members Lisa Mirabelli, Greg Miglino and Larry Simon. —Mark Nolan In an historic move, Bellport Village adopted a budget Monday night that contained a 37 percent tax increase, the first tax increase in Mayor Frank Trotta’s 23 years as mayor. Trotta said Monday night that Bellport Village taxes are nominal compared to school taxes and that the increase was needed after years of maintaining a budget with no increase. “We’ve been operating on a frugal budget and this year we just couldn’t do it anymore,” Trotta said. “I’ve always told people that if I had to raise taxes I would. This was hard for me.” Part of the need to raise taxes comes from an increase in fuel and gas costs, Trotta said. The other is dwindling revenue from the village’s golf course. In the 2006-07 budget, the village is expecting to receive roughly $50,000 less in golf permits than it did in 200506. Revenue from initiation fees is expected to be $60,000 less than last year, greens fees are expected to decline by $28,000 from last year and golf cart rentals are expected to drop by $22,000. “Permits are down by about 30 members, I believe,” Trotta said. “Right now we have an oversaturation of golf courses in the area. Like most golf courses, ours is down as far as memberships. We’re anticipating less and hoping for more. We’ve always put conservative numbers in our budget.” Like all municipalities, Bellport has had to cope with the rising cost of retirement payments and health care. Trotta said retirement systems payments rose from $13,000 in 2002 to $144,000 in 2006. Electricity for village facilities rose by $43,000 in that same time. Insurance costs rose by $50,000. “The costs this year are going nuts,” Trotta said. “These are things we’ve absorbed over all these years into our budget. But it just got to a saturation point this year.” The village’s tax rate for the 2006-07 budget year will increase from $1.33 per $100 of assessed valuation to $1.82 per $100 of assessed valuation, an increase of $.49 per $100 of assessed valuation. Trotta said that equates to an increase of roughly $190 per year for the average homeowner. Trotta said the village taxes on his old house on Bieselin Road were $458 a year and will rise $169 under the new budget. The total budget is $4,261,961. The budget was adopted by a unanimous vote Monday night. Trustee John Orlando was not present. The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 6 Mastics/Moriches WF board meeting The William Floyd School District board of education will meet today, Thursday, April 13 at 8 a.m. in the district office regarding the 2006-07 budget. The district said there would be both an executive and open session of the meeting. More police for Mastic The Suffolk County Police Department has assigned 24 new police officers to the Seventh Precinct, which patrols Mastic, Mastic Beach, Shirley and the Moriches. Since 2004, the department has added 47 police officers assigned to the Seventh Precinct. The department also added sector car 709 for Manorville and 714 for Mastic. Police said the increase in officers was needed because of retirements and reassignments. The additional manpower will also allow an increase in surveillance, including foot patrols and a sector car that will be assigned to Mastic Beach 24 hours per day. “Residents here can have the confidence that they have the police protection they need and deserve,” said Legislator Kate Browning (D-Mastic). “As the wife of a police officer, I understand that adequate manpower increases their safety and their ability to do their job effectively. The increase in foot patrols and surveillance made possible by these additional officers will improve the quality of life in Mastic, Mastic Beach and Shirley.

Arson at park An office at the Southaven County Park on River Road in Shirley was torched in January, and the Suffolk County Police Arson Squad is asking for the public’s help in finding the culprits.

Over half of their homes have gone up in the town of Brookhaven. Long Island Housing Partnership (LIHP), which reports having built 60 homes in the North Bellport area, is currently finishing a block of homes on Meade Street. Both non-profits report plans to build more homes in the same area. Affordable housing projects like these are helping to shape the landscape of neighborhoods like North Bellport. Such projects are also helping to give rise to a new desire within the Bellport community to shape its own housing destiny with a community land trust. Simply put, The South Country Community Land Trust is just one more way to keep property within the designated area of the South Country School District affordable forever. The land could be used for workforce housing, both ownership and rental, as well as for business and commercial development. The idea to create a land trust originated in 2003 with the area’s hamlet study undertaken together with New Directions, Community-Based Research Institute, Inc., Superintendent Michael LaFever, the town of Brookhaven, and members of the community. A non-profit corporation, New Directions brings a team of university researchers to partner with stakeholders interested in finding ways to effectively lay claim to their communities. The hamlet study viewed the entire school district as a community, established its needs, and discovered an overarching theme: the need for decent and affordable housing in neighborhoods burdened with abandoned structures, absentee landlords, and a high number of overpriced and often substandard rentals. The land trust was adopted as a way to address these problems by bringing home ownership home. Miles Malone, a North Bellport resident and vocal community activist who has mixed feelings about the impact of Habitat Volunteers help raise the walls and build a new home in North Bellport in 2004. Habitat for Humanity of Suffolk has become the largest single home building ADV/File photos agency in the area. and LIHP homes on his neighborhood, explained that the point of the land trust is to put stewardship in the hands of the community, not outsiders. He noted that while Habitat and LIHP build new affordable homes throughout the community, 94 homes remain abandoned, blighting the very neighborhood the other non-profits seek to improve. “It is so depressing seeing these abandoned houses with every piece of glass in them broken. The greater good would be to rehab those houses rather than building another Habitat or LIHP house on our green spaces, increasing our density, See HOME on page 13 Fire taxes split Gordon Heights Tax pac petitions for dissolution; civic cries social injustice By SARAH HARTMANN Willie Gadson has lived in the Gordon Heights Fire District for 16 years. A retired NYC corrections officer, Gadson says the fire department provides good service, but needs financial oversight. Gadson pays $1,200 per year for fire taxes. “This ADV/Hartmann is not a black/white issue. It’s a green issue,” he said. In more ways than one, the Gordon Heights community is divided. The 2000 census shows the racial divide: 62 percent black, 24 percent white, 14 percent Hispanic. In the most recent redistricting, the community was split into two election districts, while a look at a map reveals a community with four zip codes and four fire districts. And it is the fire districts, specifically the Gordon Heights Fire District (GHFD), that recently has been at the center of the most heated debate. In a community comprised of approximately 1,200 homes, 700 are located within the GHFD. The remaining 500 are dispersed throughout the Medford, Yaphank, Coram, and Middle Island fire districts.

Musson said the figure should be higher than last year, not lower. “We think it is a database problem. Whether it is at our end or at the state department of education, we don’t know yet, but we are doing a complete review to see if our student counts have any errors,” he said. If that is the case, the district will realize more state aid in that particular category, he explained. For the upcoming school year, the district will also realize an extra $513,261 in bullet aid over what it received in 2005-06. Bullet aid is essentially grant money. Musson noted that Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington (WFP-Medford) has been especially successful in securing such aid for the district. “Usually, this aid can be used as the district sees fit. Last year, the assemblywoman requested we use the $486,739 to increase the district’s social workers. But for the upcoming year, she has attached no strings to the grant,” said Musson. This year in total the district will realize $1 million in bullet aid. Musson explained the money would be used toward the tax levy and the deficit. Another large chunk of state aid, called EXCEL (EXpanding our Children’s Education and Learning) and totaling almost $2.8 million will also come down to the school district. The aid, which is over and above building aid, is to be used to fund capital projects. The timeline for the aid, however, remains unclear. “It is the great unknown up there in Albany still. We By SARAH HARTMANN Having spent a year on austerity and now facing a $4 million deficit, the news that Patchogue-Medford School District stands to receive an extra $2.2 million in state aid over what had been projected in Governor George Pataki’s original education budget comes as a welcome relief to school officials. Prior to the intervention of the Assembly and the Senate, aid earmarked for Pat-Med for the upcoming school year was approximately $400,000 less than it had received in the 2004-05 school year. The additional money, said interim Assistant Superintendent for Business Ronald Musson, will be used to support the district’s budget, a move he reports will ultimately lower the tax levy. Because of the legislature, revenue lines that had not been aided in 200506 like limited English proficiency and high tax aid, to name only two, are receiving aid this year. Several revenue lines, like transportation, are receiving less aid. Musson explained that transportation aid typically goes up and down. However, school officials are still investigating a revenue line entitled excess cost-public and private. The money is used for mandated services that are provided to special education students. The line was estimated for $9.2 million worth of state aid in 200506. This year, even with the more generous state aid reflected in the legislature’s education budget, the revenue line would receive $544,983 less from A O THE TRUSTED PR FE S N SIO S AL Foreign • Domestic • Corporate Accounts FREE!

With the $2.2 million extra of state aid in place and if the district decides to begin funding its deficit in the upcoming year, its 2006-07 budget will stand at $141 million and include a 19.71 percent increase over last year on the tax levy. That increase translates into a tax rate of $168.25 per $100 of assessed valuation so that the homeowner living in the Pat-Med School District whose home meets the median assessment (calculated at $2500) will pay approximately $4,206.25 in annual school tax. Musson explained that the district would make the decision concerning the deficit funding no later than April 18. The expectation, he said, is that the governor will sign the education budget and if he chooses to veto it, the legislature will override his decision. Thumbs up for library budgets Residents approved Pat-Med, B-BP library budgets by wide margins By MARK NOLAN The Patchogue-Medford and Bayport-Blue Point library budgets were both passed last Wednesday by strong margins. Patchogue-Medford’s budget passed 432-240 while Bayport-Blue Point’s budget passed 161-57. Patchogue-Medford’s 2006-07 total spending plan of $7,001,186 will translate into an increase of $.558 per $100 of assessed valuation. The tax rate per $100 of assessed valuation for 2006-07 will be $15.08. The Bayport-Blue Point Public Library budget for 2006-07 totals $1,875,443 and results in a 4 percent increase for taxpayers of both Islip and Brookhaven towns. Brookhaven Town residents will see the tax rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation rise $.44 to a total of $10.83. In Patchogue-Medford, incumbent Trustee Juan Diaz was re-elected to a five-year term. Incumbent William Williams won re-election to the Bayport-Blue Point Library board. Both Diaz and Williams were running unopposed.

A former partner in the Patchogue law firm of Pelletreau and Pelletreau, he is president of the Seatuck Environmental Association, Inc. and recent past president of the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities. He also serves on the board of trustees for the Bayard Cutting Arboretum and is a board member of Southside Hospital. Russ Moran, LIMM trustee and treasurer, first met Atwood when he served on the board of the Hewlett School with Liz Atwood. “We did a lot of work serving hamburgers,” joked Atwood of some of their fundraisers. Moran told a funny anecdote about Atwood’s term as a Federal Magistrate; he became one of the first to handle federal law matters on Fire Island, an important step for residents and the Coast Guard who would have otherwise had to go to federal court in Brooklyn. “A defendant came up before him who said, ‘Yes your majesty,’” Moran recalled. “Ever since then, I’ve called him your majesty.” Atwood is hardly imperious. A gentleman in the truest sense, he managed to make a positive, intelligent impact on the town he lives in. Besides his family, LIMM is probably one of his favorite loves. “That’s one of the most satisfying things to me,” he said about LIMM. “How much it has caught on,” he said. MAJESTIC from page 5 West Sayville location by barge. There were about 10 members in the beginning and Atwood remembered that getting people interested in those days was a challenge. He negotiated in getting the Modesty, a gaff-rigged oyster sloop that was in Connecticut. It’s now a National Historic Landmark. “I will tell you it was wonderful,” he said. “It was the key.” (Besides Modesty, the Rudolph Oyster House and now the Priscilla have National Historic Landmark distinction.) Atwood would also get a collection of half models from the Hard family for display. There were meetings and strategies on fund raising and how to steer the young organization. Now there are 120 volunteers and 700 paying members, according to JoAnne Brintrup, LIMM’s associate director. Nine buildings, including three boat shops for vintage boat lovers, on 8-and-a-half acres, make up the LIMM complex. “We have a lot more we’d like to do, but we’re limited in funding,” said Hoss Miller, a former Navy rear admiral and current LIMM chairman. In 1993, Suffolk County Parks turned over the museum to the LIMM trustees in a not-for-profit venture. “The county used to pay for staff,” Miller said. “Now staff is paid by membership dues and fundraisers.” There is plenty of activity here, including the anticipation of certification of inspection for Priscilla, so she can take 15 passengers out on protected waters; and the rebuilding of the marine rail- GRAND RE-OPENING SATURDAY, APRIL 15TH You’re Invited - Save the Date!

The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 Majestic in more ways than one 9 The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 10 Fire taxes split Gordon Heights FIRE TAXES from page 6 district tax differential that some residents say is killing them. They say exorbitant fire taxes are the reason why they intend to formally petition the town to dissolve the district. The numbers, they say, cannot be disputed. The most active members of the tax pac have compiled those numbers and statistics into an easy-to-read bound presentation, replete with comparative data of the four fire districts’ taxes, charts to aid in the visualization of the issue, a chart to illustrate the GHFD’s budget from 1999 to the present, even Greater oversight Numerous bills slated to bring greater accountability to fire districts are pending in the Assembly. Assemblywoman Patricia Eddington’s (WFP-Medford) bill (A.10481) would require fire districts to hold a public meeting prior to submitting their budgets to the town. The bill also would allow for individuals to speak at the public meeting, whether in favor or against the proposed budget. Assemblyman Marc Alessi’s (DManor Park) bill (A.10479) would require fire districts to adopt a code of ethics. The rationale for the bill is to bring fire districts in line with what is expected of villages, towns, counties, and school districts, all of which establish large budgets fueled by public money. Assemblyman Robert Sweeney (DLindenhurst) has drafted a 13-bill package (A.10473-10485) on the issue. A spokesperson for Senator Kenneth LaValle (R-Port Jefferson) said the Senate would be introducing a package of bills affecting fire districts, which includes all the above legislation. —Sarah Hartmann narrative outlining the problem, the solution, and the goal as they see it. Two residents, Claudette and Donald Price, seniors who live in the Fairway complex, have shown up to Brookhaven Town Hall more than once with their bound copy. The information, they say, has been FOILed from the town tax receiver’s office and from the Suffolk County Fire Rescue & Emergency Services Bureau. “For us, this is a numbers issue,” said Donald Price in public session at the April 4 meeting of the town board. Both Prices, who say this story is not about them but about the many families they see who cannot afford their taxes, are working on the petition to dissolve the fire district. It is no secret that the GHFD’s taxes are far and away the highest in the region. In the town of Brookhaven, a resident living in the GHFD has a tax rate of 64.7 percent per $100 of assessed property value. The next highest tax rate, approximately 33 percent, is paid by Coram Fire District residents. The average fire district tax rate for the entire town is 14.6 percent. In dollars and cents, for a GHFD resident, the tax rate translates to an average tax bill of $1,300. In the Coram Fire District that bill’s average is $842; in Yaphank $398; in Medford $378; and in Middle Island $505. And the disparity is nothing new. For the past 20 years, the Gordon Heights Fire District’s taxes have simply been higher than that of other town districts, a lot higher. Included in Price’s bound presentation of the facts is a chart depicting the difference. As far back as 1986, the fire district’s tax rate was 20 percent; the average for the town’s other districts stood at less than 5 percent. That trend remained constant. Everyone, even Gordon Heights community residents who long to keep the fire district intact, agree that the problem in large part is because the fire district is so tiny, only 1.7 square miles At the April 4 meeting at town hall, GHFD officials said they were devastated to hear a petition was afoot to dissolve their district. “This fire department is the glue holding our community together,” said Assistant Chief Erton Rudder. ADV/Hartmann GOTCHA Newspaper Advertising … it works. For advertising information, call 475-1000 ext. 15 Compared to other firehouses, the Gordon Heights facility looks modest. A large part of the tax problem lies in the fact that the fire district is tiny with no comADV/Hartmann mercial base to ease the tax burden for homeowners. with no commercial tax base, only property owners to sustain it. But opponents go one step farther, pointing to the fire department’s budget and spending. The budget, too, has increased over the years, from $599,100 in 1999 to $1.5 million in 2006. Gordon Heights residents Rosalie Hanson, who has lived in the community since 1986, and Gina Previte, who moved into the Fairway complex in 2000, question the department’s spending habits. “They have three secretaries and a treasurer and a service award program that costs $100,000. I have no idea what that is,” said Hanson. Previte called some of the spending frivolous and also noted that a very small department still had to fund all the New York state mandates for training, equipment, and benefits. “And commissioners have a lot of power. They set the budget they want, and the public has no say over it,” she said. What the public does have a say over, however, are bond issues. But more often than not, and this is in most fire districts, voters either do not come out to vote or often do not realize a vote is even taking place. Two special elections in the GHFD that took place in 2000, one to purchase $880,000 worth of new trucks, one to expand the firehouse for $450,000, gleaned exactly 80 votes all told. In both instances, the bond issues passed. Previte, who paid a whopping $2,355.44 in fire taxes last year as her share to cover the costs of the tiny fire district, said for her and others in the community, the formula is not working. “We are choking with these taxes. When I’m paying more than twice for my volunteer fire service than for my paid police department, that is a huge red flag. If in my next tax bill I was paying what residents in the surrounding fire districts are paying, I’d stop all this and go away,” she said. Maxine Wilson, president of the Greater Gordon Heights Civic Association, is convinced that the people doing the most complaining about taxes are, like Previte and Hanson, white, worried less about taxes and more about resale values of their homes, and out of touch with what the Gordon Heights Fire Department signifies to the greater black community. Wilson admits she lives in the Coram Fire District and so does not experience the high fire taxes that those in the tax pac do. Still, she discounts the fact that this fact should preclude her from having a voice. “I was elected by the greater Gordon Heights community to be president of our civic, and it’s my duty to care for and speak for my community. And since I live in the Coram Fire District, I can say non-categorically that the Gordon Heights Fire Department responds to (our community) better anyway.” Wilson says there is no disputing that taxes are high, but that the move to dissolve a 59-year institution is premature and thoroughly insensitive to its history with the community. And history is important. “The Gordon Heights Fire Department is the only thing in our community that is Gordon Heights. It was built by blacks for blacks, and now we are told by this (tax pac) that we are not to be proud of this history? We need this fire department to maintain a sense of where we have been and where we are going,” said Wilson. For Wilson and others, it is about social justice for a community that established itself and has been on the receiving end of white gerrymandering to dilute its economic and political power. “This is a racial issue to the See FIRE TAXES on page 17 Professional • Reliable Committed “Don’t wait to f ind out what your rights are” The Law Offices of Cartier, Bernstein, Auerbach & Dazzo, P.C. • Weekend & Evening Appointments Available In Suffolk & Nassau • Over 20 Years Experience • Free Consultation Call Anytime In Matters of: • • • • • Accident/Personal Injury DWI/Criminal Matrimonial Real Estate Estates, Wills & Trusts 1-888-692-8897 • 654-4900 visit us on the web at chbalawyers.com 11 The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 12 Budget deficit surfaces at Mastic Pool DEFICIT from page 1 tion was not required to move money between capital projects, the amount of the transfer ($950,000) was so large that it needed to have been done with the knowledge of the town board. Of the $1.1 million worth of change orders that the project has seen, over $800,000 worth of them were never brought before the town board or approved by the former commissioner of finance. Instead they were approved “in-house” at staff level and apparently not all change orders even appeared in writing, explained Brandeau. The Mastic Pool renovation was a Parks Department project, ostensibly bringing it under the purview of former Parks Department Commissioner Robert Chartuk. However, at the core of the fiscal fiasco lies the fact that no one had been formally designated as the project manager, a practice that Brandeau explained seemed to be a common problem within the town’s capital program. Chartuk was charged last November with soliciting campaign contribu tions in exchange for allowing sand to be removed from a town field and faces up to four years in jail if convicted. Municipalities are expected to follow a process with capital projects. In the county, for example, capital projects have managers immediately accountable for moving the project forward and bringing funding changes to the attention of the legislature in order to offset them and control costs, explained Brandeau. She added that local finance law requires advance authorization in order to use bonded money in capital projects. “What was done here is Wild West budgeting. It’s lawless. No one is in charge and there seems to be an utter lack of respect for spending the people’s money. It’s mind-boggling to me that you could even get anything done this way, but they did,” said Brandeau. Earmarked for an overhaul as far back as the Grucci administration, the Mastic Pool was funded $540,000 in 2000-01 and funded another $250,000 in 2002. In both cases capital funds specifically for the pool were adopted. Then in 2003, another $1.4 million was BROOKHAVEN PROFESSIONAL PARK MEDICAL CARE 285 Sills Rd. Patchogue N.Y.

In July 2003, the town board approved plans submitted by Stony Brook-based engineer Milton Costello, permitting him to bid for a general contractor and subcontractors. Two years later, the town board by resolution removed Costello from the project. In 2004, the town awarded three of the four bids required for the project to L.D. Wenger Construction Co., Inc. for general construction; A.W.L. Industries, Inc. for HVAC; and McDowell Electric Corp. for electricity. The three bids totaled $3.6 million. At the time, the plumbing was to have been rebid to accommodate a cheaper pool filter. In the end, that contract went to WHM Plumbing. A Community Development Block Grant was secured to cover the cost in the amount of $1,037,500. In desperate need of floor-to-ceiling renovations, the 27-year-old YMCA pool was to receive new locker rooms, tiling, plumbing fixtures, bathrooms and offices as well as a new pool filtration system, a natural gas line to replace outdated heating, and a hookup to city water to free the pool from using well water. The entirety of the work has yet to be completed. Besides providing the Mastic community a public pool worth using, the renovations were also expected to lower operating costs. Former Supervisor John Jay LaValle explained in 2004 that based on the bids, he anticipated spending over $3 million for the project but not as much as $4.2 million. “This really is a big deal. There are contracts (for this work). How can there be contracts when the town didn’t have the money allocated to pay for them? Don’t execute millions in change orders, most not even approved by the town board. This is a breech of fiduciary responsibility,” said Brandeau.

And I agree with Miles (about the abandoned homes), but not that many of them are county-owned. They are privately owned, which means the only way to acquire them might be through declaring eminent domain,” she said. At any rate, the land trust, said Marr, has several crucial steps to complete before it truly gets off the ground. And when it does, she noted that there would be plenty of room within the community for Habitat, LIHP and the land trust to construct and maintain decent housing. In fact, James Britz of LIHP sits on the land trust board. And for now, LIHP and Habitat are busy doing what they do best. Peter Elkowitz, CEO and president of LIHP, explained that LIHP would be working jointly with Habitat to build approximately 20 affordable homes on Ecke Avenue in Bellport. The project, he said, is in the planning stages. Les Scheinfeld, associate director of development for Suffolk County Habitat, said June would mark one of the nonprofit’s larger projects. Called Home Builders Blitz, the effort will partner Habitat with the Long Island Builders Institute (LIBI) to construct five affordable homes on Provost Avenue in North Bellport. The partnership with LIBI as builders is a first for Habitat. “Alec Ornstein, the new leader of LIBI, made sure that his membership was on board with this project. His Volunteers help with every aspect of building company Ornstein-Leyton will a Habitat for Humanity home in North Bell- be building one of the homes,” ADV/File photos said Scheinfeld. port in 2004. but not improving the overall aspect of our neighborhood,” said Malone. The land trust, represented by a board that pulls members from across the community, ideally would help with the problem by controlling the use of selected empty land and homes. Buyers who will have been counseled on home ownership would buy the home and build equity in it. The land trust would own the land and ultimately control resale of the home in order to keep it affordable. “We want some home rule, and this is the way to do it,” said Malone. Nancy Marr, another Bellport advocate noted for her contribution to the community and who is also president of the South Country Community Land Trust, explained the group is still waiting for its non-profit and tax-exempt status. “Once we do that, we can get Providing experienced representation and guidance to our clients in all Federal and State Courts, Real Estate, Matrimonial and Trusts & Estate matters.

The kids lost a friend, that is the hardest part.” Unsure of whether to play Tuesday’s game, the players received support from Geronimo’s father John, who attended the home game versus Southampton and received a signed baseball from the team. Bayport-Blue Point won the game 12-0 thanks to a no-hitter by senior Jarrid Stitt. “They wanted to play hard and said they want to dedicate the season to (Carlo),” said Moccio, who remembered him as a gamer who was “very intense, in tune with the team concept and respectful of the coaches.” And a player who loved to play and hit, while emerging as a leader with natural ability. One thing that residents and business owners hope can be learned from this accident is that a significant amount of accidents have occurred in this area due to the curvy nature of this portion of Middle Road. Celestine and Emilio Yannelli, owners of Country Junque antique store, said that about two years ago, community members met with Suffolk County Department of Public Works (DPW) in an attempt to install better traffic mitigation methods. Signs with arrows displaying the angle of the road, 20 mph speed signs, pedestrian signs and a pair of blinking lights at the Bayport Avenue intersection are the current mitigation methods. “Two years ago we met with the county and asked for a stop sign, light, guard rail, something,” Emilio said. “We need a light.” “Middle Road is for horse and buggies not for people,” Celestine added. The county is looking into the matter to determine if any mitigation is required, said Bill Hellman, the DPW’s chief engineer for highways and waterways. “We are determining whether the accident was due to conditions of the roadway or a malfunction due to speed,” Hellman said. “There are numerous reasons for an accident.

The residents who want to dissolve this fire district don’t want to be associated with this fire department because in their view that lowers the value of their property,” said Wilson. To those who would preserve the fire district, the desire to dissolve it feels sudden and unjust. “We’ve been complaining about services and about our community being a dumping ground for sex offenders and sober homes for years. And suddenly white folks complain about their taxes, and everyone wants to dissolve the fire district? Why this rush to dissolve the district?” asked Wilson. Besides, dissolution, she argues, will not solve the problem because the community would be required to have a fire protection district, which costs money; the department’s bills would still have to be paid; and there would be impacts on homeowners’ insurance. The answer, explained Wilson, is to come together as a community, work for subsidies and grants to offset taxes, and look forward to a planned revitalization, begun a month ago in a community visioning, to kick-start some economic growth. Wilson added that the community would entertain the fire department cutting its spending. Assistant Fire Chief Erton Rudder, who was unable to respond at length to this article before press time, said in a brief telephone interview that he questioned the tax pac’s information, especially concerning his department’s budget, obtained through documents. He also questioned whether it was fair to compare districts’ spending. “These are cut-and-paste documents and someone needs to determine the veracity of them,” said Rudder. For now the petition is in the planning stages. The process, explained Previte, is very specific. Every signature must be verified to ensure home ownership and in order to bring the petition to the town, the signatures obtained must represent 51 percent of the highest assessed property valuation in the community. “The more your house is worth, the more your vote is worth,” said Previte. Town spokesman Michael Pitcher said town officials were being careful to remain neutral on the issue. “If the resolution is filed successfully, the town will take steps as needed,” he said. By law, a town board may dissolve a fire district upon a petition of resident taxpayers that fulfills requirements. The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 Fire taxes split Gordon Heights Pictured (back row, l-r) are: Coach Mike Malestracci, Joe Stripolli, Anthony Fiorelli and Ryan Dillon. Front row (l-r): Trevor Jacobsen, Mike Miracco, Ryan Petker, Ryan McCaffrey, Matthew Broderick, Brandon Andre and Nicholas Balestracci. Championship team The North Patchogue-Medford Youth Athletic Conference basketball team won the fifth grade NPMYAC sophomore championship held in March with a win of 26-10 in the first round of the playoffs. The Red Machine won in the finals 17-13. Leading the offense in the final game was Nicholas Balestracci, Ryan Dillon, Anthony Fiorelli and Brandon Andre. With the score 15-13 with 30 seconds left, Balestracci drove to the baseline and hit a reverse lay-up to put the game out of reach. Ryan McCaffrey hit an amazing half-court shot at the buzzer and Joe Stripolli was strong on offensive rebounds. Defensive standouts throughout the playoffs were Matthew Broderick, Trevor Jacobsen, Ryan Petker, Anthony Fiorelli and Michael Miracco. Their tenacious defense created numerous turnovers and blocked shots. PATCHOGUE THEATRE is Alive! BRING The family!

Besides the Hamptons, customers travel from Nassau County, Manhattan and even Connecticut, she said. Along with the racks of pretty brimmed hats, gloves, delicate embroidered dresses, boys’ suits and other outerwear for infants to size 14, there is a human symmetry here that’s humorous, affectionate and efficient. Staudinger was ironing a pink Sarah Louise baby dress, an import from England, before she sat and discussed her life. Her first store was a knitting shop in Greenport. What got her into children’s clothing was the lack of hats, she said. “When my younger daughter was born, I couldn’t find a hat that could fit her,” she said of Lari. “I drove around the Island and no one sold little hats and I said it’s time somebody did.” “So it’s your fault she started this,” quipped Belmonte addressing her aunt. Fiala smiled. She mentions that the glass display case filled with prayer books and rosary beads was originally in the Greenport store. Were their roles defined regarding stocking and ordering the merchandise, keeping the books and dealing with the dayto-day minutiae? “We kind of all do everything,” answered Belmonte, about their interchanging roles. Besides heading up a successful business and raising two daughters, (Judy Gueli, Belmonte’s mother, who worked in the store as well, passed away in February), Staudinger wanted the town where she lived and did business in to succeed. She started the Patchogue Chamber’s beautification fundraiser and has headed it for decades. “We didn’t have any trees on the street, or any flowers,” she said. “Nothing to make it stand out and be inviting to people.” Walter Roe was president of the chamber then, she said, and her committee had to raise money for flowers and pots for the street. The first beautification dinner was at Pat and Jim’s Restaurant on Route 112. “The local schools built the boxes for us,” she recalled. The trees came and the flower boxes eventually evolved into pots, which the committee filled once a year. “I used to carry the water from the store at first (to water them),” Staudinger said. “And of course people did steal the flowers.” Call it savvy. Call it inner wisdom. But she once spotted a woman on the Four Corners who looked like a flower abductor. She instructed her granddaughter who was taking her home to drive around the block. Sure enough, the perpetrator was caught in the act using her trowel. “I got out of the car and talked to her like a Dutch uncle,” she said. Which meant, of course, that you did- Elizabeth Murphy (left), and Julianne Sirianni with her husband and son Anthony are old customers who come regularly to The Colony Shop. Colony ADV/Leuzzi Shop family member Lori Belmonte rings up the sale. n’t want to be there. She headed up the merchants’ committee and also started the Sidewalk Sale event the village has every summer. Abe Siegel, owner of the venerable 75-year-old Blum’s, who strolled in on a recent Friday afternoon to banter with Staudinger, said he presented her with a pair of roller skates when she was 75 because she ran around so much. “She’s the best person in Patchogue who thinks about Patchogue first, about the streets being cleaned and about beautification. There should be more retailers like her,” Siegel said. But back to the business. Greatgranddaughters Jasmine Montalvo, 7, and Mackenzie Fehrenbach, almost 5, pitch in and help out with chores like emptying out the garbage and making up boxes. According to Gail Hoag, executive director of the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce, Montalvo, who attends Medford Avenue Elementary School, is already a pro. “She’ll go right up to customers and asks if she can help,” Hoag said. “And she knows where things are.” The store is open six days a week, “sometimes seven,” Staudinger said and the busiest times are the holidays and spring. Any advice for a new storeowner? “A good window display is one of your best advertisements,” Staudinger said. “We always did the window up nice. At Christmas time, we have an old Santa Claus sleeping in the crib. Your windows are your cheapest selling point and I think it’s important to dress your windows well. It catches your eye.” A thorough businesswoman, Staudinger paused a moment. “And they should carry good things,” she said. 21 The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 longislandadvance.net Get the Who, the When, the Where, the What and the How, NOW ONLINE! The Long Island Advance - April 13, 2006 22 Editorial OUR HOUSE Wild West budgeting Governments seem to exist to waste taxpayers’ money to benefit a few well-connected people. In Brookhaven Town, that business model has historically worked quite well for those in power. Take the 701 percent increase in the cost to renovate the Mastic Pool. Originally budgeted for $800,000, the cost to fix the aging pool has spiraled to $6.3 million. Over $800,000 worth of change orders were never approved by the town board or the former commissioner of finance. Newly appointed Commissioner of Finance Kim Brandeau called the gross mismanagement of the money “Wild West budgeting.” It should come as no surprise, then, that New York State Comptroller Alan Hevesi will investigate Brookhaven Town’s finances to see if an audit is needed. We certainly think it is. Can the Mastic Pool be a glitch, a one-time governmental miscue that’s brushed aside as a simple error? As kids these days say: Not! The Mastic Pool has become the Money Pool, and it’s taking a lot of our dough to fill it up. The town, or any municipality, enters into a contract with a fixed price for the work to be done. Sure, there are times when the project needs to be altered or even expanded, making it more expensive than originally thought. But a 701 percent increase is unconscionable. Try getting a 700 percent raise from your neighbor after shoveling his driveway. It’s simply ludicrous. Hevesi and his financial SWAT team need to mount a fullscale assault on Brookhaven’s books. Former Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Robert Chartuk failed to properly manage the project and let it spiral out of control. Chartuk was appointed by former Brookhaven Supervisor John Jay LaValle. The Mastic Pool debacle occurred on LaValle and former Supervisor Felix Grucci’s watch. So it has come to this: taxpayers need the state comptroller to investigate every municipality to determine whether or not the finances are in order in order to restore the public’s faith. Hevesi and his staff are busy. The list of municipalities and school districts being audited is growing like a beanstalk. The list likely won’t stop growing anytime soon. Taxpayers have grown dull from the endless audits and fiscal malfeasance all around them. It’s time they became angry and demanded their elected officials conduct government like a business and in the open. Until then, the notion held by taxpayers that their money is being thrown into the Money Pool will continue. Established 1871 Published weekly at 20 Medford Ave., Patchogue, NY 11772 Dear Easter Bunny By SARAH HARTMANN “Mommy, do you believe in the Easter Bunny?” the littlest quizzes me, and I pause. Not long ago we established, at her bidding, that the tooth fairy was really a fiction and a flit since the parent who should have been placing the money under the pillow more often than not seemed to sleep through her duties. “I know it’s you Momma, and you can stop now,” she told me in a tone laced with the weariness of trying to keep up appearances. The bunny, however, she is less inclined to let go. “Well, I believe in him,” she tells me pointedly and then requests an over-the-top, non-candy item that will never find its way into her Easter basket. She wants an iPod. Actually, she wants all manner of electronics as she has two older sisters, but for now the iPod is the epitome of cool. A question concerning Easter: When did the holiday that celebrates the resurrection of Christ and the pagan rites of spring turn into Christmas? When I was a child, Easter meant a trip to church followed by a hunt for small baskets filled with chocolate chicks and colored eggs. These days, I find myself shopping not only for fancy chocolates to sit atop all that green plastic grass but also expensive perfume (requested by the middle one), a Starbucks card and a “good” (think Our E-Mail address is [email protected] Make budget lean, not mean Since August I have been working with the Patchogue-Medford School District’s Budget and Finance Committee, an incredible group of people. Together we learned many facts about how our district runs financially. One goal was to be liaisons for the community and since we can’t speak to all of you one on one, I would like to share some facts with you. Fact: Our district is in the process of an audit and right now we are about $4 million dollars in debt. Assemblywoman Eddington is helping us receive a loan to pay back this debt within the next five years. Fact: Our committee has a binder of information to provide us with district finances and help us collaborate a rough draft budget. We worked for hours making cuts and replacing some lost items as a result of last year’s austerity budget. No matter how hard we moved the numbers around our budget percent was high. expensive) hair straightening device for the oldest, and something cool but not an iPod for the littlest. And I know I am not alone. We parents have lost our minds. In my little hometown there are two specialty chocolate shops stuffed to the brim with the kind of Easter candies I never saw as a child: truffle-filled bunnies in a variety of gourmet flavors, white chocolate chicks crafted by Godiva, candy bars made in foreign lands with cocoa count stamped prominently on the wrapper, and upscale jelly beans, which really do taste pretty good. Even the marshmallow peeps are cuter and in Technicolor. And it all, believe me, comes with overhead. I won’t even divulge what I’ve shelled out for candy alone as the number makes me blush. If my mother weren’t already in her grave, the money I’ve spent on what used to be a small indulgence would put her there. Still, I buy it, plus gifts. I know the whole situation is beginning to reach critical mass, the way extravagant weddings, outof-control proms, and ten-carat diamond rings for spoiled brides have. Eventually, it will be time to say enough, time to want less and cut costs. In her letter to the Easter Bunny, the little one writes that she would like an iPod. “But it’s entirely up to you,” she adds. And it is. Next year I think we’ll try something new. LETTERS State aid is unknown. We based our budget figure on the negative $400,000 that the state originally presented. This means a tax hike of 19.7 percent. This restores some of the athletics and extra-curriculum programs that were excluded from this year’s budget. Class sizes will be the same as they are this year, some new materials will be bought for instruction and maintenance and our first payment of $12 million will be made toward our bond. We are anticipating some state aid and hope that it will relieve some of the burden on the taxpayers and provide our children with more. Our contingency percent is also high, however, the loss to our children and community would be detrimental. Fact: If the budget fails, class sizes will be in the high 30s to low 40s, courses will be unavailable and sports, extra-curriculum and who knows what else will be a thing of the past. All salaries will still be paid. A failed budget does not affect salaries. This district will have to cut another $6 million dollars if the Deadline is 5 p.m. on Monday budget is defeated.

When Americans found out that Dubai would operate six of our major ports, House and Senate offices in Washington were flooded with emails, letters, and phone calls. The deal promptly died. What we have learned here is that Sir Isaac Newton’s law of physics, “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction,” can be applied to human behavior and—perhaps even to those who govern. Good leadership requires understanding the will of the people (action), and determining a course of action (reaction) that is to follow.

NEPPELL III I feel it is my professional obligation to finally respond to the many negative statements made by various officials in the new Brookhaven Town administration in regards to my agency, our professional services to the town of Brookhaven for nearly 40 years, and to the future of our multi-generational, family-owned independent insurance agency since 1929. First and foremost, I certainly recognize that it is the right of our client to choose who their insurance agent/broker will be. However, to continually read in Newsday negative and hurtful comments from these people and, in particular, from Councilman Steve FioreRosenfeld (who has never once bothered to call me in the three years he has been on the board to discuss or question the town’s insurance program) that our agency and program is “corrupt” but then give that very same program to an Illinois based mega-brokerage house, is logically and factually incomprehensible, and reeks of very dirty politics. The insurance companies given to AC Gallagher by the Foley administration by Broker of Record letters, effective April 1, 2006, are the very same companies I was authorized to approach by the LaValle administration last year. Every year we search the market for capable and qualified insurance companies for all of our clients, including the town of Brookhaven. Our proposal on Dec. 19, 2005 would have saved the town at least $1.5 million in premium for 2006. The commissions we collected last year from the town of Brookhaven program averaged 10.75 percent, or 4.25 percent less than we were allowed to receive from the insurance companies. We selected to do this since the premium “explosion” starting in 2002 in order to help the town, and thus its taxpayers, be able to maintain the proper level of insurance protection and limits that it has historically needed. On the issue of commission versus service fees, commissions are paid to an independent insurance agent/broker by the insurance company, not by the client. Commissions are the historical, legal, legitimate form of honest compensation for all independent insurance agents. Commission levels are set by the insurance companies and must be approved by the state Insur- ance Department, which in itself is monitored by the state legislature and governor’s office. It behooves an independent agent/broker, in order to grow and be successful (especially a 77-year agency like ours), to provide professional services, protect their clients from exposure and risk and be able to provide competitive premiums from a multitude of markets. This is what is called a free enterprise, competitive system. Commissions provide honest incentive for business people to do this. Have you ever wondered why it takes so long and is so expensive to get divorced? It is not commission that lawyers charge. The whole issue of commission versus service fees is a red herring thrown up by members of the Foley administration, in order to try to fool those who do not know otherwise, so that they can appear to justify their political action by calling it something else. There were legitimate, real-world causes of the high premiums and restricted coverage for every policyholder in the United States, and not just the town of Brookhaven, since the early 2000s, and then catastrophically fueled by 9-11. No amount of wishful thinking could have changed what was happening in the real world. Libelous slurs by a petty councilman can affect professional careers and personal reputation. Fortunately, all of the people that know me have been supportive as they know my character and professionalism. But what about those that do not know me or the 77 years of service and community involvement to the communities of Brookhaven and Suffolk County by my grandfather and father, and now myself and my sister? If my father really was the target of this political campaign, they missed. My father has been retired from our agency since 1999, and from politics for nearly two years. My father was in the insurance business long before, and for a lot longer, than he was in politics, or a town or county Republican leader. My father takes great pride in his professional and political careers as he achieved great success in both. If he was too successful in one of those areas, perhaps it was due to his talents, hard work, commitment and loyalty to ideals of his political party, and the lack thereof by the competition. Letters to the editor Continued from the previous page of the people of the state of New York has either been ignored, or has not been made clear enough to our representatives in Albany. The result is that New York has earned the distinction of being the second most tax unfriendly state in the nation (CNN/MONEY). On May 16 school districts across the state will present their budgets for a vote. If last year is any indication, Long Islanders will turn down a far greater percentage of budgets than the rest of the state. While school districts need to bring costs under control, the real cause of spiraling property tax is Albany. Let me just tell you what those in the state Senate and Assembly have known for quite some time. They know that nationally the average state funds education at a 50 percent level. New York State’s contribution is 40 percent on average, but 92 of the 125 districts on Long Island receive less than 30 percent of their revenues from the state. They also know that, excluding New York City, Long Island educates 26 percent of the children of the state and only receives Deadline is 5 p.m. on Monday 19.6 percent of state aid to education. They know that Long Islanders pay 66 percent more of their gross income for property taxes than New Yorkers in general. Practitioners and lawmakers have long recognized that the formula for the distribution of state aid is dysfunctional. The educational funding pie was carved into “regional shares” and frozen decades ago. These shares have never changed as demographics (student enrollment, school district wealth, nonEnglish-speaking student population, and regional cost differences) have changed significantly. Because the state funding formula has never been updated, Long Islanders pay 5.1 percent of their gross income for residential school property taxes, as compared to 2.3 percent for all households in New York. In spite of our huge educational effort, Albany has ignored the fact that 73.49 percent of the students in eastern Suffolk and 32.67 percent in western Suffolk are in school districts that fall below the statewide average of income and property wealth. Now for the application of the lesson learned from Dubai. If everyone reading this shared it with five or 10 people on Long Island who then contacted their representatives in Albany—as well as the gubernatorial candidates—I can promise you that there will be a far more equitable distribution of state money to Long Island. The terrible trend in property tax will be reversed and all owners of residential real estate on Long Island will benefit. Tell your representatives that you want the formula for aid to education made equitable for all regions of the state.

GRECO Writing is all about just that, writing and then rewriting, and rewriting again, oftentimes discovering that no matter how many times you’ve printed and read, you still sometimes have a stray typo. Or rewriting to the point that the original idea, or piece you started out writing, has become something very different from what you expected it to be. Life is sort of like writing. You start out going in one direction, and then at some point you’ve found that you’re either completely lost and have no idea where you are, or that despite the wrong turn you took three, five, or 10 years ago, you’ve somehow managed to end up somewhere cool anyway. Life is like writing in the sense that there are things you can change, or do differently, in order to affect the outcome of the story. You just have to be brave enough to do them; to risk rewriting a story that is not going in a direction you intended, expected, or wanted. I’m not really sure how novelists do it. Do they see the whole picture in their heads and write their way to the end? Or do they just sit down and start writing, hoping the story will end up somewhere? The nice thing about writing is if you don’t like the direction you’re taking, you can throw the piece away, or hit the delete key and start over. Life is a little more difficult to rewrite. It takes effort and can be dramatic and heartbreaking, yet the rewards can be great. I’m spending a lot of time rewriting these days—articles, essays, term papers and my life. The rewriting on paper, or in my case, on a computer, is much easier than the rewriting of my life. Changing the outcome of a life story is much harder than catching those annoying typos, or eliminating a line or a paragraph that is just not working. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. It is worth taking the risks and chances that are necessary to write a great article, or essay, or book, or even a life. No, I can’t hit the delete key, or go back and erase, and I don’t want to, but I can choose to take my life story in a different direction. I can keep some of the old characters and many of the story lines, add some new ones, and not continue to develop others. Sometimes writer’s block gets in the way, which is where trips to the gym help, as are reminders to do things like breathe. But despite the stumbling and writer’s block, I am writing myself into a new life story that I could never have imagined before. Just look at where this piece of writing ended up. I have just written a guest column for Brian Curry. I’ve somehow managed to write myself here, so I guess I’ll just keep going. I’ve always just taken life as it comes and never really given any thought to the direction my story was heading. Now, I’m visualizing what I want it to look like and will write my story in that direction. Sure, in life, as in writing, there will be stray typos and deleted lines and paragraphs along the way, but it’s all about the rewriting anyway.

The young lady receiving the highest number of votes will be expected to dress in appropriate costume and she will be installed in the handsomely decorated float which will head the parade on May 5, 1906. Robert S. Pelleatreau of Patchogue has been invited to speak upon the advisability of incorporating the village of Bellport. Woodruff’s Hall has been engaged for the event and the Merchants’ Association has issued a general invitation to everyone, particularly the ladies to attend. Mr. A.B. Gerard of Brookhaven has treated his house to a coat of red paint. Others are following his example but using different colors. Mr. George Cessman of Brookhaven has gone to the city to run an automobile freight. Mrs. Henry V. Blonsky of Yaphank has a new Waters Upright Piano. Grocer Henry’s horse bolted on Amity Street and ran up Ocean Avenue along West Main Street. There was more excitement than danger and the only damage was a dozen eggs scattered along the road.

Keller of Hawkins Lane, Brookhaven, was badly battered when a part of a freight train backed into the car as it was on the crossing. The automobile was pushed 30 feet down the tracks before the train crew was aware of the crash. Despite the harrowing experience neither Mr. or Mrs. Keller, passengers in the car, sustained serious injury.

The three-sport athlete showed that she shines in lacrosse as well, as Stoothoff saved 10 shots by the electrifying Islip offense, which could have been the difference in the game. The Bucs offense did not go unnoticed in the game, though. Star junior Nan Mayott continued a scoring spree that may lead to post-season accolades, as she netted four goals past Stoothoff. Twins Justine and Ashley Leggio added to the scoring attack, as the reigning All-County honorable mention players combined for four goals, a pair each. Developing star Marissa Mills, a sophomore, rounded at the scoring for Islip with a pair of points herself. Although the Bucs defense may not have appeared impressive on the scoreboard, two players did stand out on the team. Despite allowing 16 goals, Spinks showed flashes of brilliance with a number of impressive saves, stopping nine shots. In addition, All-County honorable mention sophomore Alex Giresi played impressive defense, preventing B-BP from breaking out for a big lead in the first half. Both of these teams are optimistic for the season. For B-BP, after a relatively disappointing season last year, all three of the team’s key players, (Mastandrea, McLean, and Stoothoff), return with a season of experience under their belts, experience that may enable a playoff run for the team. Meanwhile, in Islip, Mayott, the Leggio twins, and Giresi hope to pioneer the Buccaneers, delivering Schuman her season goal of “making an impact in the playoffs.” Standing at .500, the Bayport-Blue Point girls seek to raise their game to be a factor in Division II as the regular season progresses, while Islip looks to reach a winning plateau as its experienced players mesh with younger members of the team.

BOX 780, PATCHOGUE, NY 11772 Lack of firepower hurts Clippers Bellport held scoreless for three periods in 10-5 loss to Bay Shore By MARK NOLAN For a few minutes at least, the Bellport boys’ varsity lacrosse team looked like it had turned the corner. The Clippers jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the second quarter against Bay Shore Tuesday afternoon. Then the second half started, and with it, Bellport’s offensive woes continued. Bay Shore scored eight unanswered goals and went on to claim a 10-5 win in the Division I showdown at Bellport. The Clippers are 0-2 in Division I and 1-4 overall. Bay Shore’s Jordan Zimolka tied the game at five in the third quarter and Justin Jensen scored four straight goals. Bellport couldn’t find an answer to Bay Shore’s attack in the second half, and the Marauders drove to the net almost at will and scored on shoulder-high shots. The Clippers shined in the second quarter thanks to a flurry of goals. Ryan Bohlert, who scored two goals, opened the scoring after Bay Shore’s goalie came out of net for a loose ball. The goalie made it back to the net, but Bay Shore was out of synch, and Bohlert took advantage. A minute later, Bohlert caught a pass from Mike Esposito on a sweet give-and-go for a waist-high goal. Moments after Bohlert’s second goal, Esposito scored by driving to the net and then drawing a late hit flag. Matt Fitz scored when his hard shot was deflected up over the goalie’s head and then spun into the net. Ryan Kroog skipped a shot into the net to give the Clippers a 5-2 lead that stood until the start of the second half. But Bellport couldn’t find that offensive rhythm in the second half. The Clippers missed routine passes and failed to scoop the ball and generally looked out of sync in the second half, and although they took plenty of shots on goal, Bay Shore’s goalie Bellport’s Mike Esposito takes the ball around the back of the Bay Shore net in a 10-5 loss Tuesday. ADV/Nolan See CLIPPERS on page 38 No phantom offense here Bayport-Blue Point powers its way past Islip By BOB BONETT Entering the season, Bayport-Blue Point’s twoheaded scoring attack of Lyndsey Mastandrea and Laura McLean knew that delivering a playoff appearance for the team rested squarely upon their shoulders. After their high-throttle 16-10 Division II road victory over the Islip Buccaneers (1-2) Tuesday, few questions remain as to their legitimacy as two of the county’s best scorers as they both scored four goals and collected a pair of assists. Following a very tight first half that demonstrated superior goaltending by Bayport-Blue Point’s Kerri Stoothoff and Islip’s sophomore goalie Jackie Spinks, the Phantom girls opened up the second half on an indefensible scoring attack, engineered by their two leading players. The second half resulted in an offensive explosion for Bayport. Putting 10 goals in the period past Spinks enabled the Phantoms to break the game wide open as a slim one goal lead at the half give way to a hefty victory for a Bayport-Blue Point team that appeared mediocre at best only last year. Leading the charge in that second half DIVISION II were Mastandrea and McLean. After makBayport-Blue Point 16 ing their presence known early on in the Islip 10 game with powerful shots on net, a few B-BP: Mastandrea 4, McLean 4, that penetrated the goal, the two girls Stevens 3, Goodnight 2, began to demonstrate their ability to Edward, Walsh. score at will.
