Parents, educators vow to rememberRally against NYS education changes

BY BarBara Donlon

Educators, parents and stu-dents gathered outside state Sen. Ken LaValle’s Mount Sinai office Tuesday with one clear message: They won’t forget he voted “yes” on Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s budget when it’s their turn to vote in November 2016.

Nearly 100 people rallied in front of the North Country Road office of LaValle (R-Port Jefferson), holding signs letting the senator and the community know they were upset he voted in favor of a portion of the 2015-16 state budget that amended the teacher evaluation system, lengthened the time before teachers can gain tenure and created new designations for failing schools.

Beth Dimino, president of the Port Jefferson Station Teachers Association and a John F. Ken-nedy Middle School teacher, said her association and other

groups coordinated the protest to show the senator they don’t take his vote lightly.

“The purpose of this rally is to remind Mr. LaValle that his vote in favor of Mr. Cuomo’s budget and anti-public educa-tion agenda will be remembered by the parents and taxpayers in the November elections,” Dimino said.

LaValle, who was in Albany at the time of the protest, was just re-elected to his 20th term in the Senate and will be up for election again next year.

He said in a statement Wednesday, “We improved on what the governor put in his budget proposal and I fully ex-pect we will continue to fix the education piece, with the final result addressing parents and educators concerns.”

April Quiggle, a Port Jeffer-son parent, said she came out to show how disappointed she

Brookhaven officials announced last week that the town is seeking permission from the New York State Public Service Commission to intervene on PSEG Long Island’s pending application to the com-mission for a rate increase.

At a press conference held on April 16, Supervisor Ed Romaine (R) and councilmembers Jane Bonner (C-Rocky Point), Dan Panico (R-Manorville) and Neil Foley (R-Blue Point) expressed their concerns about the increase in the de-livery charge portion of customers’ bills — a nearly 4 percent bump each year for three years — set to kick in next year. The officials said they believe PSEG Long Island hasn’t adequately justified the in-crease, which would have a “devastating impact,” on Long Island residents.

“We want to make sure that our voices are heard — the ratepayers in Brookhaven Town are heard,” Romaine said.

By legally intervening, according to attorney Rob Calica, of Garden City-based law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney LLP, town officials would have access to filings and documents that are otherwise not public.

“If the town doesn’t intervene, it’s a commenter,” said Calica, who the town retained to handle the matter. “The com-ment period is closed. If the town doesn’t

intervene, the records that are unavailable for public review remain unavailable. If the town intervenes, it elevates its status from commenter to a party.”

The utility stated in its proposal that it would invest in maintaining and mod-ernizing the electric system; enhancing technology for managing customer ac-counts; improving infrastructure to better prepare for and respond to storms; and

improving system reliability.The town joins Suffolk County Comp-

troller John M. Kennedy Jr., who asked to act as an intervener in an April 10 let-ter to the New York State Department of Public Service, the department which contains the commission.

According to PSEG Long Island’s ap-plication, the three-year increase will amount to an approximate $221 million

increase in revenues.In his letter, Kennedy called it ques-

tionable to give “that excessive amount of money” to a “quasi-governmental entity that is supposed to be a leader in management performance, yet decides to increase the average residential cus-tomer’s bills when its own employees live and work on Long Island.”

This is the first time in more than 20 years that Long Island’s utility provider has had to submit a rate plan to the De-partment of Public Service, as required by the LIPA Reform Act of 2013, which also put the Long Island Power Author-ity under the management of private company PSEG Long Island. The depart-ment assigned administrative law judges to hear the case, on which Long Island residents commented at public hearings held throughout March.

Brookhaven officials and Kennedy said they also took issue with the fact that the utility’s proposed increase does not have to follow any cap that other public institutions, like governments and school districts, have to abide by,

A week after some Port Jefferson residents called on village officials to keep any tax increases as low as pos-sible in next year’s budget, the board of trustees did just that when they approved a $10.2 million spending plan last week that complies with the state-imposed cap on tax levy increases.

The budget will raise taxes by $0.46 for every $100 of assessed value on a local property. That number comes in just below the village’s tax levy increase cap, at 1.68 percent.

At the time of a public hearing on April 6, the vil-lage had been working with a budget draft that would have carried a 4 percent tax increase, even after the board slashed more than $300,000 in expenses during budget workshops. The hearing was on a measure that the trustees ultimately passed that night to give them-selves the authority to pierce the cap if necessary — something Port Jefferson has done each year since the state cap was enacted. But some residents implored the board to better control taxes and stay within the cap this time.

Treasurer Don Pearce said at the public hearing that

referring to the state’s tax levy increase cap. Romaine said PSEG Long Island should have to comply with and be held to higher standards.

“They are a public authority no different than the Town of Brookhaven,” he said.

In an email, Jeff Weir, PSEG Long Island’s director of communications, said the organization is proud to have the most transparent rate proceeding that local customers have ever seen.

“We believe the modest increase that we are seeking in our filing will allow us to continue to create a more resilient, modern and customer-responsive electric utility,” Weir stated. “We welcome the opportunity to continue to have constructive, open dialogue regarding our request.”

in order to meet the cap, the village would have to cut out more than $140,000 in expenses or add revenues to the spending plan. On April 15, Pearce said the vil-lage took residents’ comments and whittled down the budget further to close that gap.

Pearce reported that the 2015-16 budget will rep-resent an increase of about $217,000 over the current year’s budget, which means that the village’s mandated expenses — like employee retirement contributions, health care costs and payments to the local ambulance company — are increasing more than the budget itself.

A proposal to build a restaurant at the old Suffolk County Water Author-ity building on West Broadway has one neighboring businessman crying foul, saying the establishment would block his customers’ view of the harbor.

At a Port Jefferson Planning Board meeting on April 16, representatives for property owner The Crest Group LLC and President Enrico Scarda shared plans for the roughly 1/4-acre lot on the north side of the street, right off of the harbor. According to Port Jefferson Station-based engineer Allen Bernhard, the restaurant would include a second-floor outdoor deck with a footprint almost the size of the building itself — just shy of 2,000 square feet. The deck would start on the side of the building and wrap around to the north side, facing the harbor.

At the public hearing, Bernhard said the existing building at the site, which would stay, would block most of the deck when viewed from the south “so it’s not interrupting views.”

Even with Planning Board approval, the restaurant would still need a per-mit for outdoor dining from the village board of trustees.

The deck was the main point of con-tention during the meeting. Attorney Zachary Beriloff, of Ronkonkoma-based Gruenberg Kelly Della, who is repre-senting Schafer’s owner Tom Schafer, said the dining area would actually block the outdoor “observation deck” at Schafer’s restaurant, on the other side of West Broadway.

“It obstructs the view of the water from across the street,” Beriloff said.

But Linda Margolin, an attorney with Islandia-based Bracken Margolin Besun-der LLP, countered that the issue was a matter between private landowners, not something regulated by the law.

“The issue for this board is not whether the view from Mr. Schafer’s observa-tion deck is important to him,” she said. “I’m sure it is. The question is whether the view from Mr. Schafer’s observation deck is a view of particular importance to the public. … That’s not a public view of significance.”

Beriloff also took issue with three vari-ances the zoning board granted for the project, on the restaurant’s size, parking area and distance from other restaurants. He said Schafer was not properly notified of the proposal and asked the Planning Board to hold off on any decisions until

the matter is resolved.The board ultimately adjourned the

hearing, which will resume on May 14.Aside from the addition of the deck,

the proposal does not call for many changes to the outward appearance of the site. Bernhard said the owner would keep much of the original architecture but add large windows on the north side of the building. He also said the owner would plant some trees where possible.

The proposed restaurant could be in limbo for a little while, however, because

of a parking issue at the site.The old water authority building sits at

the edge of the Brookhaven Town marina parking lot, with some of the town park-ing spaces immediately to the north and west of the site and the lot’s entrance to the east. Brookhaven Town has plans to cede control to Port Jefferson Village of those roughly 30 nearby parking spaces in a deal the two municipalities ar-ranged to make up for a deficit of spaces at a mixed-use project up the road, at the

Police allege a young man drove drunk, blew through a stop sign and crashed into a house early on Saturday morning, causing extensive damage.

The suspect, 20-year-old Gerard Te-gins, was driving a 2002 Hyundai SUV south on Harrison Avenue in Miller Place when, at about 2:30 a.m., he passed a stop sign at the corner of Parkside Avenue without stopping, according to the Suf-folk County Police Department. Tegins then lost control of the SUV, went across several lawns and crashed into the living room of a house on Parkside.

Police said no one in the home was injured, though the residence suffered extensive damage.

The driver was treated for minor inju-ries at John T. Mather Memorial Hospital in Port Jefferson, police said. He had been the only one in the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Tegins, a Port Jefferson Station resi-dent, was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, speeding,

reckless driving, running a stop sign and failing to stay in a lane.

The defendant’s attorney, Commack-based Michael Alber, did not immediately return a call for comment.

School districts looking to go green could see more green for it, if proposed state legislation to help school districts pay for alternative energy projects makes its way through Albany.

State Sen. Carl Marcellino (R-Syosset) has sponsored legislation that would strengthen the state’s support for alterna-tive energy in school districts. Currently, there’s state building aid available for the installation of wind and solar systems, but Marcellino’s legislation allows all types of alternative energy systems to be eligible for building aid.

Marcellino’s proposed law also re-moves a requirement that alternative energy systems meet an 18-year payback window to be eligible for aid, according to Debbie Peck Kelleher, director of the state Senate Investigations and Govern-ment Operations Committee.

“It would allow all systems to get the building aid,” Kelleher said.

Most districts see an average reim-bursement between 70 to 75 percent of the project cost, she said.

In a recent interview, Marcellino said school districts turning to alternative energies provide a boon to taxpayers, because of energy savings in utility costs over time.

“It’s a win-win all the way around.”

To raise funds to continue 23 years of preparing warm and nutritious meals for those in need, the Invited INN soup kitchen of Rocky Point will host a walk-athon this Saturday, April 25, at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Island in Manorville.

Every Thursday, soup kitchen volun-teers cook and serve dinner to the 40 to 70 people who come seeking a fresh-cooked meal and the companionship that comes with eating to-gether. According to Invited INN’s Director and President Carol Moor, the soup kitchen has a “no questions asked” policy on who is served.

“Anyone who shows up gets a meal,” she said. “Everyone who comes is treated with dignity and respect.”

According to Moor, the guests of the Invited INN are a diverse group, includ-ing seniors, families with young children and single adults. Although housed in the Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church, peopel of all faiths are welcome to dine.

The INN, which stands for Interfaith Nutrition Network, is a nonprofit that provides food, shelter and support services to Long Island residents. Moor said she

helped start the local soup kitchen more than two decades ago, when she was chair of social ministries at Trinity.

“We had the pantry, but we needed something more,” she said. “People aren’t aware that people in their commu-nity need this kind of help.”

It runs with no overhead, completely by volunteers. The first meal prepared was served to just six people.

This is the seventh year the soup kitch-en will host the walk-athon, its only formal fundraiser, according to Moor. “You get a lot of bang for your buck do-ing a walkathon, and we tend to do very well,” she said.

Registration for the walk will begin at 10 a.m. and Moor said walkers can walk as many or as few times as they want around the shrine.

Every penny earned Saturday will go directly to providing the food prepared each Thursday, like any donations the INN receives throughout the year.

Donated food items come from orga-nizations such as Long Island Cares and Island Harvest, but the bulk of Invited INN’s monetary donations come from private donors: the congregation at Trin-ity, the Rocky Point Lions Club and the

Rotary Club of Rocky Point.Rotary member Tom Talbot said his

group enjoys giving to the Invited INN.“The volunteers are very nice people

who are so grateful for our help,” he said.Talbot, who has volunteered at the

soup kitchen as a pot washer for 10 years, said that the people who eat there seem to enjoy the meals: “Some of them come early to make sure they get the same seat they have been sitting in for years.”

Trinity’s pastor Jeffrey Kolbo said that the Invited INN provides much more than meals.

“For those who live on a limited in-come, money saved by eating each week at the Invited INN can be spent on other necessities,” he said. “For those who live by themselves, a night out at the INN breaks the tedium of eating alone.”

To join the walkathon or sponsor a walker, call Moor at 631-744-8686.

Marcellino’s legislation has been re-ferred to the Senate’s education commit-tee, and has support from assemblymen Chad Lupinacci (R-Melville) and Andy Raia (R-East Northport).

Long Island school officials have pon-dered solar panel installations, and some districts have embarked on projects of their own.

Last year, Miller Place school district green-lighted a $4.3 million project to in-stall solar panels on the roofs of its four school buildings. The project qualified for $3.7 million in state aid, according

to Danny Haffel, the executive direc-tor of energy solutions on Long Island of Johnson Controls, a Wisconsin-based technology and energy-savings solutions company that the district worked with. Haffel added that the project would save the district more than $243,000 — close to half of its utility budget — in annual energy costs.

Under the contract with Johnson Controls, the district, which would lease the panels for $362,528 a year over 15 years, would be guaranteed those sav-ings, so that in case the savings are not

realized through the solar panels, John-son Controls would foot the bill.

“The Miller Place school district’s decision to pursue alternative energy projects including solar power will not only benefit the environment, but is an-ticipated to produce financial savings for the district,” Schools Superintendent Marianne Higuera said in a statement. “If the use of alternative energy sources like solar can produce bottom-line cost savings for other school districts or mu-nicipalities like it is projected to do for our school district, then this option may be beneficial.”

Beefing up state aid to school districts for these kinds of systems is a good thing, Haffel said in an interview this week.

“What would be really cool and to me would make sense — which would in the long run help every school district and every taxpayer — is to make all renew-able work 100 percent aidable and that the school district would receive 100 per-cent state aid,” he said. “Now you have no electric bill, and you just helped out the taxpayer for the rest of their lives.”

Huntington school board member Tom DiGiacomo said renewable energy is a smart move for schools.

“Quite honestly, the state should be empowering the school districts and the taxpayers ultimately to find ways to save money by using [renewable] energy.”

historic First National Bank of Port Jef-ferson. The town owns the bank building and the building next door on East Main Street that used to house the tax receiv-er’s office and is selling the property to a developer who will put in retail space

and apartments.But as the details on that project are

not finalized, the marina parking spaces at the harbor are not yet officially in the hands of the village.

There are no other parking spots near the water authority building, possibly linking the fate of the restaurant pro-posal with that of the parking space deal between the town and the village.

Two of the three community members who will be elected to the Port Jefferson school board on May 19 will be write-in candidates.

Paperwork that board hopefuls had to fill out in order to run for one of the three available seats next month was due on Monday, but only incumbent Vincent Ruggiero submitted a petition, accord-ing to District Clerk Janice Baisley. Board member Mark Doyle and Vice President Jim Laffey did not hand in paperwork to run for re-election, and no one from the community at large threw his or her hat in the ring for a three-year term.

Port Jefferson school district officials got advice from counsel, Baisley said, and “the next step is write-in candidates.”

According to Baisley, instructions on how to vote for a candidate who is not on the ballot will be posted in the vot-ing booth on the day of the election. Pens will be provided at the booths.

Lone official candidate Ruggiero did not return a call seeking comment. He has served three years on the school board.

The teacher, 48, has lived in the dis-trict for eight years and has children in the district. When he first ran for the school board in 2012, he said his teach-ing experience would help Port Jefferson school district navigate difficult issues such as the Common Core Learning Standards. He also said he wanted to help the district find other sources of funding to ease the burden on taxpayers.

Doyle, who has served six years, said in an interview on Tuesday that he is not running for re-election because he has a new job that comes with more responsi-bility and traveling.

“I couldn’t guarantee 100 percent commitment to the board,” he said.

To the people who succeed him, he advised “it’s important for board mem-bers to have a broad perspective about the entire … community and not just bring their own personal points of view to the table.”

Laffey didn’t return a call for comment.

Three Comsewogue Board of Education seats are up for election this year, but voters who hit the polls on May 19 won’t have a large selection — with Trustee Ed Barry step-ping aside, there are only as many candidates as there are slots available.

Barry, a nine-year veteran, said he wants to give others a chance to fill the position he has loved holding.

“It really has been a great experience,” Barry said. “I may consider running again down the road.”

John SwenningBoard President John Swen-

ning has served since 2002 and is running for another term on

the board. The Comsewogue graduate said his time with the board has been great, which is why he is running again.

The father of four — one child at Comsewogue High School and three who have already graduated — said he enjoys working with adminis-trators, teachers, parents and students.

“I just like what I do,” Swen-ning said. “We’ve really made some serious progress in the first few years and I want to keep it going.”

One of the things Swenning would like to see through is the accreditation from the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools that the district applied for last year. The dis-trict is undergoing a three-year internal review on the road to

receiving the nonprofit’s desig-nation, given to high-perform-ing institutions worldwide.

The board president also wants to restore programs that were cut in recent years to bal-ance budgets.

Rick RennardRick Rennard just finished

his first year on the board, completing the term of a for-mer trustee who moved out of the district.

“This one-year experience that I’ve had so far has been so positive,” he said. “I want to continue.”

He said he would like to finish some things the board started this year, such as the ac-creditation process. He echoed Swenning in saying he wants to restore academic programs.

He also “would like to con-tinue to speak out on behalf of the district to our legislators to get our fair share of funding,” Rennard said. “I will fight for the district.”

The father of three children, 11-year-old Emma, 9-year-old Rickey and 7-year-old Bren-dan, and a social studies teach-er at Newfield High School, he’s been living in the community for almost 11 years.

Louise MeliousA newcomer, Louise Meli-

ous, has decided to run for trustee after years of being on the fence about serving.

“I think I have something to offer and I certainly hope the community can give me this honor,” Melious said.

She has been following the

issue of students opting out of taking the state’s standardized tests, she said, and while her children, 18-year-old Victo-ria and 16-year-old Matthew, are past that testing stage, she would advocate on behalf of other students. She said she feels the testing system is wrong.

If elected, she would like to work on tax relief for older res-idents, expand district sports programs, and restore other programs that were cut in pre-vious budgets.

“If given this opportunity, I would change what I do and be more involved,” Melious said.

is in the senator she always supported.“I feel betrayed by him,” Quiggle said. Not one person at the education rally

was without a sign. Young children also held signs.

Miller Place resident Erik Zalewski, who teaches in the Middle Country school district, said LaValle and other politicians who voted in favor of the governor’s reform sold out educators and kids.

“It seems money is more important than the children,” Zalewski said.

Lucille McKee, president of the Shoreham-Wading River Teachers As-sociation, joined in to let everyone know she is tired of non-educators

making decisions about education.Halfway through the rally support-

ers broke out in a cheer: “Ken LaValle you let us down, Ken LaValle you let the students down, Ken LaValle we will not forget!”

Many parents at the picket said they tried numerous times to reach out to the senator by phone and email and never heard back.

Hundreds of cars drove by as ev-eryone protested on the corner of the road. Drivers honked, gave thumbs-up signs and cheered, letting the protesters know they supported them.

inning and retired three in a row. “We just had to keep our heads in the

game and I knew my job was to throw strikes,” Colasanto said. “I knew if I could keep it in the strike zone we’d have a chance, because I have a great field behind me.”

Bonura was pleased with his player’s efforts.

“Dan didn’t get rattled after he gave up three runs in the fifth,” Bonura said. “He just stayed the course and didn’t let any-

one’s mistakes in the field affect the way he pitched, and everyone feeds off of that. Dan’s been with me four years — he had a great game. He’s a senior captain who’s a team leader.”

Despite a close 5-4 loss to Westhampton Beach Tuesday, these Warriors are still the superior League VI team.

With the loss, the Comsewogue base-ball team is tied with Westhampton in the standings, with an 8-2 record.

Prior to the loss, though, the Warriors topped Sayville, 9-4, last Thursday, to win two of three games against the Golden Flashes and claim the series.

Comsewogue gave up a 1-0 lead to trail 4-1 in the fifth inning, but the team put to-gether an eight-run rally in the top of the seventh to claim the win.

Dan Colasanto crossed the plate first courtesy of Mike Stiles’ stand-up double to

take an early lead, but both teams strug-gled to bring runners home over the next three innings.

“We were all scrappy in the beginning — we had a couple of errors, a couple of bad plays,” Stiles said. “[We just needed] to get a couple of hits, a couple of walks together, and that’s just what we did in that last inning.”

Sayville’s bats came alive in the bottom of the fifth with a four-run rally to take its first lead of the game, which stood until the final inning.

Comsewogue head coach Mike Bonura told his team it’s just a three-run deficit and to keep their composure.

“Let’s have some quality at bats,” he said to his athletes. “It’s just three runs. We just

smacked the ball into shallow right field for a two-run hit that drove in Robert Dattoma and Jake Sardinia, to even the score at 4-4.

David Nodeland helped the Warriors claim the lead after Braun and Sardinia crossed the plate off of his deep hit, to give his team a 6-4 advantage.

“We all just stayed in it,” Node-land said. “Everyone stayed alive on the bench and kept it going. Once the hits started coming they

just kept rolling, so it was a nice little rally we had.”

Trying to stop the Warriors in their tracks, Sayville made its fourth pitching change of the game, but to no avail.

Colasanto ripped one deep for a stand-up double, driving in Nodeland, and after scoring a run earlier in the inning, Szalay helped Colasanto earn a run of his own with a short fly ball in the gap. With a full count against him, Velazquez drew a walk with the bases loaded for the final run of the game and the 9-4 win.

“[We didn’t want to do] any-thing big, just make sure you get

to prevent the risk of injury. Szalay took the mound in place

of Colasanto, and finished the job his teammate started,

The Warriors looked to pull ahead Wednesday when they

hosted the Hurricanes, but results were not available by press time.

The third and final game of the series will be today, at Wes-thampton. The first pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Housing ageismTo The ediTor:

This is to address an issue most important to all of our taxpayers. i live in Port Jefferson Village but i’m sure the same applies to all taxpayers in Brookhaven Town.

We built our home in 2000 and live in a part of the village where all the other homes are 60, 70 or even 80 years older than ours. Some were even built before the turn of the century. houses are assessed by their square footage and what amenities they have. As a result of this, newer houses are being appraised against older houses; it somehow results in the older homes being assessed much lower than the newer ones. in some cases, the older homes are paying 20 to 30 percent of what the newer ones are. it’s not that the homes are worth less, they’re just older.

in our particular case, our taxes are approximately $7,500, and i can document houses on my street paying $3,000 or less. This is not right and it is not fair and has to

be changed.one can only imagine how

changing unfairness would increase the tax base in light of today’s fiscal times. Not to beat a

dead horse, but as they say, i don’t mind doing my part but i’m not doing someone else’s also.

OPINION

The opinions of columnists and letter writers are their own. They do not speak for the newspaper.

ediToriAL

We didn’t bust itTo The ediTor:

in response to Mr. Nicols’ letter in last week’s paper (“don’t bust through”), i am happy to report that the mayor and board of trust-ees have adopted a village budget that is within the state-mandated tax cap.

in my full statement at the tax cap hearing, i spoke both of the difficulty of complying with the cap and of our intent to keep working on the budget to identify

further reductions. At that meet-ing, the village treasurer also explained that state-mandated and contractual expenses alone were in excess of the cap. Thus, from our very first workshop, the mayor and board were looking for ways to reduce other expenses. our efforts produced more than $300,000 in changes before the tax cap hearing. Between the tax cap hearing and the budget hearing, we were able to close the final $140,000 gap and meet our goal. The board adopted this budget by unanimous vote.

regarding the comparison to school district budgets, it is not as simple as it might seem. School district capital improvements are exempt from the cap. Village capital improvements, such as road

repairs, are not.The mayor and board of trustees

are committed to maintaining and improving services and the overall quality of life within the village. i, for one, do not consider this to be a matter of “pet projects” but rather of responding in a reason-able way to the needs expressed by our constituents.

The mayor and board of trust-ees will continue to pave village roads, rebuild village sidewalks, restore village beaches and repair village buildings. We will also sponsor programs for all ages, from young families to seniors. We will try to do so in a careful and cost-effective manner.

Larry LaPointedeputy Mayor, Port Jefferson

We can do betterYou know you’re from Long island when …1. You drive your car everywhere, including

just up the road to the drug store or 7-eleven. There is a car in your driveway or garage for every person in your house.

2. You water your lawn and plants even when it has recently rained because it’s on a timer and you just left it.

3. You pass at least one dead animal lying on the side of the road every day.

4. You have access to delicious foods imported from all over the country and the world.

5. You live in a terribly wasteful society.earth day gives us time to reflect on what we

do every day that affects the environment, both here on Long island and the nation as a whole.

We burn up gas for every small trip we make, when we could walk or bike if we weren’t so rushed or lazy. We waste water by taking long showers or leaving the faucet on as we brush our teeth. We flush pills down the toilet or use a paper cup for coffee every morning or unneces-sarily go through a ton of plastic shopping bags.

Almost all of us are guilty of at least one of these things, which all put strain on Mother earth. But this is the only home we have — for now — so we should get our heads in the game.

Please join us in thinking about the impact of our everyday actions on the environment and make a commitment to cut out or reduce just one of those negative actions year-round — not just on a day like earth day.

A small change blazes the trail for larger ones, so it’s a good place to start.


Twin experiments in space

In the course of a month, two events have occurred that, perhaps some time in the next

several decades, may help people make that incredibly long jour-ney to Mars.

First, Scott Kelly went up in space. OK, so, that’s not such a shocker. Kelly is an astronaut and that’s what astronauts do. What makes Kelly’s trip different, how-

Do we negotiate with Iran or not?

D. None of the aboveby DaNiel DuNaief

ever, is that he plans to spend an entire year at the International Space Station, setting an Ameri-can record for the longest time away from Earth.

Kelly’s identical twin Mark, a retired astronaut and husband of former Congresswoman Gabri-elle Giffords, will of course spend that same year on Earth. Having identical twins in two places for the same period of time presents an incredible opportunity. Mark is in reality the “control” in the experiment, giving NASA, doc-tors and anyone else interested in the effects of prolonged periods of time in space an opportunity to see how the two brothers react differently to different environ-ments. Identical twins present that rare opportunity to rule out the nature part of the nature-nur-ture dynamic.

Some day, the information NASA records from the Kelly twins will help us understand the kinds of preparations necessary to safeguard any would-be space

traveler from the harmful effects of higher radiation and no gravity for a journey to Mars that by cur-rent technology would take some 250 days. After all, our genes have evolved over thousands of years to life on Earth. Just be-cause we’ve figured out to send ourselves deep into space doesn’t mean we can suddenly fine-tune the gift of our biological systems the way we might raise a heat shield on a space module.

A month after Scott Kelly re-turned to the ISS, where he’d spent considerable time on pre-vious missions, a team of scien-tists, led by Javier Martin-Torres, a Spanish researcher who is a professor in Sweden and used to work in the United States at NASA, published a study based on a year’s worth of meteorologi-cal data from the Red Planet.

As it turns out, Martin-Torres and his team have determined it is highly likely Mars has liquid water — today. It’s not enough water to open a super-exclusive

pool club or to plant a couple of dozen grape trees to cultivate a deep-space vineyard for the elite and refined palates of the world’s wealthiest wine lovers.

The scientists recorded read-ings through the Mars rover Cu-riosity of water that likely evapo-rates during the Martian day and forms again during the cold night as perchlorate salts melt any fro-zen water vapor.

This study, Martin-Torres sug-gested, may have implications for planetary protection policies. The Committee on Space Research may look carefully at places where spacecraft couldn’t land on Mars out of concern that any vehicle might contaminate the planet by introducing new organisms.

The presence of water speaks to us because it makes up more than 60 percent of our own bod-ies. Water also is a key element to life on our blue planet, raising the question about whether life, even in the form of small microbes, could use it to survive.

This Martian water, however, isn’t exactly a refreshing stream. It’s probably up to three-and-a-half times as salty as the water in the Dead Sea, Martin-Torres said.

The saltiness, radiation and numerous other factors make that water inhospitable to life, even on a microbial scale.

“The conditions are terrible,” admitted Martin-Torres. Still, “it’s better to have water than not to have it.” Besides, while it’s likely that any life on Mars would struggle to survive in that water, “nature always surprises us.”

Our genes have evolved over

thousands of years to life on Earth.

To negotiate or not to ne-gotiate, that is the ques-tion. At least that is how

our mealtime conversations in the last week started on the subject of a possible treaty with Iran. It is a polarizing issue, and almost everyone I’ve shared a meal with has had a strong opinion on the matter.

“Don’t trust them. They can-not be held to any agreement they sign. Are we listening to what Su-preme Leader Khamenei is saying or do we think it’s all rhetoric to rally his right wing?”

Peace is an almost universal

yearning.

between you and me

by leah S. [email protected]

“We should definitely negotiate with them and at least try to post-pone the production of a bomb in that volatile part of the world. We’ll be able to know if they are reneging because we have satel-lites and Israel has spies all over the country,” is another perspective. “What harm can negotiations do?”

“What harm? What is it that brought the Iranians to the negoti-ation table to begin with? The eco-nomic sanctions are having a real effect on their country. They just want us to lift them and to achieve that, they will agree to anything for now,” comes the retort. And so the back-and-forth goes.

This time in our 21st century has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to Munich and the Nev-ille Chamberlain agreement with Hitler over the fate of Czecho-slovakia in 1938. Chamberlain was prime minister of the United Kingdom from 1937-40, as Hitler was ramping up his aggression, and he desperately wanted to keep peace and stability within Europe. To that end, he is widely remem-bered for his attempt at appease-ment of Hitler with the Munich Agreement that both men signed.

Chamberlain had worked hard to get that treaty, traveling to Ger-many three times to meet with the dictator before bringing back that paper, along with the words, “peace for our time.” Although Czechoslovakia was effectively sacrificed in the deal, most of the British population, including King George VI and Queen Eliza-beth, were ecstatically happy that Chamberlain had brought at least the possibility of peace to them.

One who objected strenu-ously was, we know, Winston Churchill, who declared that England had been offered a choice between war and shame at Munich. She had chosen shame, he continued, and will get war. Indeed, Churchill felt that by Chamberlain’s drift and sur-render to Hitler’s territorial de-mands, the prime minister had almost fatally delayed the need for Britain to arm and to pull together European allies. Cham-berlain had also seemed to Hit-ler as being weak. “Our enemies are small worms,” Hitler later scoffed. “I saw them at Munich.”

Peace is an almost universal yearning; only aggressors want

war. Can we condemn Cham-berlain for striving to guarantee peace — or President Obama for that matter? While the world stage is not exactly the same now as in 1938, we know that Iran has fueled proxy wars in an aggres-sive attempt to increase its power in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia had launched bombing missions to push back Iran, and the United States has moved ships off the Ye-men coast in an attempt to thwart arms shipments getting into ter-rorists’ hands. Overhanging the horror of slaughter and brutality is the real prospect that Iran is on the threshold of developing a game-changing atom bomb, much as Germany was during World War II.

When von Ribbentrop, Hit-ler’s foreign minister, objected to the Munich Agreement that Hit-ler had signed, pledging no fur-ther hostilities once he annexed Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland, Hitler responded with, “Oh don’t take it so seriously. That piece of paper is of no further significance whatever.” Now as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry lays out the terms of a possible agreement

from the negotiations, Khamenei has stopped short of endorsing them. When Chamberlain was admonished by Churchill to arm Britain in the face of coming war, the prime minister refused to do so wholeheartedly because he feared that Hitler would think he was walking away from the Mu-nich accord.

Yes, let’s negotiate. And let’s remember the key to any suc-cessful pullback is President Ronald Reagan’s famous line: “Trust, but verify.”

Let’s also remember that we broke the back of the Soviet Union by winning an economic war, de-spite the fact that both sides had the bomb. The Iranians are at the negotiating table because the eco-nomic sanctions are hurting — or like Hitler, they are merely stalling for time. Finally, we have learned what Chamberlain did not: That a well-armed and advanced nation is the best deterrent to war.
