KATHlEEN sCHIECK wITH her student Bryce Owens after the announcement that she was one of two winners of the Applebee’s Teacher of the Year contest thanks to Bryce’s essay nominating her.

Kathleen Schieck, a fourthgrade teacher at Lenox Elementary School in Baldwin, routinely opened her email on April 26, and to her surprise, she discovered that she had been awarded $500.

Schieck won the award in the seventh annual Above and “Bee”yond Teacher Essay Contest” hosted by Applebee’s.

Bryce Owens, one of her students, nominated her, submit-

ting a half-page essay explaining why she deserved to be Applebee’s Teacher of the Year.

One winner was chosen in both Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Schieck said she plans to use the money on her classroom next year.

“It’s such an amazing honor to be nominated by an amazing student,” she said. “For Applebee’s to recognize the teacher profession is really an awesome thing to do.”

Patrice Peterson is a ‘voice of hope’ for mental health recovery

By BEN FIEBERT bfiebert@liherald.com

Baldwin resident Patrice Peterson, who had been initially misdiagnosed with full schizophrenia disorder, found a treatment in 2021 that she said changed her life forever.

For the past 10 years, Peterson has been able to avoid a hospital stay, due in part to her participation in a clinical trial.

After being correctly diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder at Northwell Health’s Zucker Hillside Hospital in 2013, she was the perfect candidate for the trial.

Peterson decided to participate in a transcranial magnetic

stimulation, or TMS, study involving a technique that is an FDA-approved treatment for depression and obsessive compulsive disorder.

The technique is also being investigated for use on patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders to improve their social cognitive function.

“Being in the study and having a treatment team has really helped me,” Peterson, 40, said.

Her success in the program is what made her willing to share her story. She said she feels very fortunate, and wants to “pay it forward.”

“I would just really like to be part of the solution of reducing

stigma around mental illness,” Peterson said. “I know there’s a huge stigma on mental illness, and I can’t fix it by myself, but I just want people to know that recovery is possible.”

Peterson spoke up because so many people, especially since the pandemic, are suffering with mental health challenges.

“I really just want to be a voice of hope with my recovery story,” she said.

Although Peterson still has her ups and downs, she is doing much better than ever before.

Her journey started more than 10 years ago when she was misdiagnosed with full schizophrenia disorder. Through treatment

at Zucker, it was later revealed that her disorder was actually schizoaffective disorder.

“Schizoaffective is a mood disorder,” Peterson said. “I had the depressive type of the disorder, and my diagnosis was very important to me, because once I got to Zucker and got the correct diagnosis, I was able to get the right treatments.”

Some of the treatments involved therapy, psychosocial programs and medication, she said.

“That really helped me to really go from kind of getting by to be thriving today,” Peterson said.

By telling her story, she conveys the importance of getting a Continued on page 15

Safe Health Educators teach Baldwin students CPR Veteran Richard Rattan has run Safe Health Educators for almost two decades

By BEN FIEBERT bfiebert@liherald.com

Richard Rattan, ceo of Safe Health Educators, brought his extensive knowledge on safety to Baldwin fifth graders last Thursday.

For the past 17 years at Safe Health Educators, Rattan, along with his team of qualified health care workers, has taught thousands of people CPR and first aid.

Last Thursday was no different as Rattan gave CPR and first aid lessons to Baldwin students. Rattan doesn’t stop there, however, as he teaches people from all different professions.

“We teach in a lot of hospitals, fire departments, and police departments,” Rattan said. “So we handle all the mandatory training for the doctors and the nurses so that they can stay compliant and work.”

Rattan mentioned that infant CPR training is given out to the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts so that they can get their CPR badges. This program is free of charge. It is also available to new parents so that they can be prepared just in case they ever need to use CPR on their newborn.

Rattan explained that he teaches a lot of people every year because of the “wide base” of people that he teaches.

“For this year, we have taught over

RIchaRd RaTTaN pERFoRmINg CPR and teaching fifth grade students at Lenox Elementary School important safety lessons.

6,000 people,” Rattan said. “On average, I would say we probably teach double that for the year.”

Working with Safe Health Educators

for nearly two decades, Rattan said he saw programs evolve and update. He mentioned that him and his team have also evolved throughout the years by learning

what works, what doesn’t work, and how they can make things better for the clientele.

“We’re never too old to learn,” Rattan said. “And an educated customer is a better customer.”

On SafeHealthEducators.Com, it was stated “Safe Health Educators was founded in 2006 by Richard Rattan, with a vision to spread education to healthcare experts, professionals and advocates.”

Rattan was able to achieve this vision through the help of his team and the various programs that the company offers.

Such programs include training of CPR, first aid, AED, Neonatal Resuscitation Program, EKG, and Corporate Emergency Response Programs.

Further down on the website, it states that Rattan “has a continuous mission of providing premium educational programs for emergency service professionals, and consultative services for organizations.” He has been providing emergency services for the past 30 years, as he was a Captain in the United Nations Fire Service with the task of training 360 firefighters to FDNY standards, procuring equipment, and opening 17 independent fire stations in Kosovo and Bosnia.

Being that he is a veteran, Rattan won Veteran Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2020. He also received an Excellence in Healthcare Award in 2021.

Bicyclists of all ages attend Baldwin’s first ever Bike Parade

By BEN FIEBERT bfiebert@liherald.com

H

osted by the Baldwin Civic Association and Legislator Debra Mulé, the Baldwin Bike Parade brought the community together to celebrate the joy of biking.

The parade took place at the Baldwin Harbor Town Park last Saturday morning. This was the first event of its kind and the Baldwin Civic Association plans to make it an annual event.

Kimberly Malone, president of the Baldwin Civic Association, planned for this event to promote sustainability in Baldwin.

“Our thought is that if we can encourage people to ride bicycles, it will help not only the environment, but also encourage people to use different modes of transportation,” Malone said.

Decreasing traffic has been a goal in Baldwin, especially on Grand Avenue, and Malone believes that events like this bike parade will encourage community members to bike when they don’t need to drive. In return, this will decrease traffic.

The parade involved a three-mile bike route with the goal of biking beside various businesses. Malone explained that this was done purposely so participants of the parade can support businesses, espeically those that were affected during the pandemic.

Along with the civic association, other groups and individuals joined forces to make this parade happen.

“We partnered with Legislator Debra Mulé and the Nassau County Police Department to have a bike rodeo as well,” Malone said. “And during the bike rodeo, there was information about bike safety.”

The downtown revitalization initiative’s objective is to make Baldwin a destination area on Long Island where people from all over can come and enjoy the community. Malone explained that by hosting events like these, the objective could be achieved. She wants to show people that Baldwin is a “community that cares about one another and that enjoys being together.”

“Four Major Reasons Why Trusts Are Preferred over Wills for Seniors” In plain English, we will explain in detail about these topics: 1.

Planning for who will control your legal and medical affairs if you become disabled and what legal tools they will need.

2.

Wills vs. Trusts – which should you choose and why.

3.

Revocable and Irrevocable Trusts – pros and cons of each type of trust and how they work.

4.

Protecting inheritances you leave from children’s divorces and creditors and having those assets pass by blood to your grandchildren instead of to in-laws and their families.

It can be difficult to get correct information on these subjects – especially on the internet.

At the seminar you will find out what techniques have worked well for our clients for over thirty years. Misconceptions you may have gathered from well-meaning friends and even other professionals will be cleared up and a lively question and answer session will follow.

Dating back to last spring she has swiped 65 consecutive bags without getting caught. The star defensive center fielder and leadoff hitter batted .700 last season. “She’s the ultimate leadoff hitter,” coach Tom Llewellyn said.

Baldwin seeking tennis history by tony bellissiMo tbellissimo@liherald.com

It’s been a long time since Baldwin won a conference championship in boys’ tennis.

It was 1994, to be exact, but that could change if the Bruins can secure a couple of more victories after winning 11 of their first 12 matches. A 13-1 record would at the very least secure a share of the Conference 4 title with Freeport, which shared the top spot with Malverne last spring.

“We had 10 wins last season and it would be great to win the conference,” Baldwin coach Jane Hayes said. “So many kids put the time in during the offseason and we added two freshmen who play USTA tournaments. This is the biggest improvement we’ve made from one year to the next.”

The Bruins, who played home matches at Baldwin Park in 2022, returned to the high school this season after the longdeprived courts received a much-needed facelift. The new turf surface is “beautiful,” Hayes said, and provided the team

with a bit of an advantage since opponents are not used to the slower pace.

“The new courts were an adjustment and it’s a very different game than playing on hard courts,” Hayes said. “But the kids have gotten used to them and they really look nice.”

Baldwin has been practically unbeatable in singles. Freshman Brandon Firth and Chad Iles earned the top two slots while senior captain Angelo Guerrero holds down No. 3. All have won all 12 of their matches so far.

“Brandon and Chad play year-round and Angelo improved 100 percent with all the work he’s put in,” Hayes said. “Tennis is Brandon’s and Chad’s sport. They’re great players and great teammates.”

Firth, the coach noted, hadn’t lost a set until the 11th match. “He’s a mentally tough kid who can really dig deep when he needs to,” Hayes said. “He hits hard and has a strong serve but can also play a finesse game.”

Iles is keen when it comes to reading opponents’ strengths and weaknesses and attacking the latter, Hayes said. “He’s able

to make adjustments during matches and plays with poise and consistency,” she said.

Guerrero has been on the team four years and played a lot last summer to take his skills to another level. “He’s one of the nicest kids I’ve ever met and on the court he does a great job of fixing his mistakes quickly,” Hayes said.

It took the coach weeks to figure out the best doubles pairings. When the dust settled, junior Abiel Cervantes and sophomore Lucas Mokund formed the top tandem and rattled off nine straight wins.

Cervantes is an accomplished singles player with height and a strong net presence, and Mokund excels from the baseline.

At second doubles, experienced junior Christian Piche and hard-serving sophomore Jordan Diouf are unbeaten in seven tries. Sophomore Ava McKenzie and freshman Lucas Duet locked up third doubles, while the primary fourth tandem includes junior Franklyn Williams and freshman Jerome Wallace. Seniors Rae St. Clair and Endrick Amedee, as well as freshman Steven Rivera, have also contributed.

Three people from Baldwin were recognized for their efforts to make a difference.

Those people were Samory Fecu, Emily Budhu, and Kaitlin Timmes. Curran highlighted these individuals as young leaders.

Fecu was born on April 14, 2009. At the age of nine months, he wanted to kick a

ball and that was his inspiration to begin walking. He was always very determined to maintain a physical lifestyle. His coaches notice his love for sports and excellent athleticism, as he’s chosen to participate on higher-level soccer and basketball teams.

In 2020, Fecu received the PAL Good Sportsmanship, Citizenship, and Character award. In 2022, he was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. As a member of the Honor Society, he participated in food drives, donations, and a breast cancer walk. In 2022, he volunteered in the spring basketball clinic for South Nassau developmental sports in Baldwin.

Fecu is known in his community for being generous and kind. He occasionally visits elderly neighbors and helps others with outdoor chores. From 2020 to 2022, his high academics earned him a place on the Baldwin Middle School High Honor Roll. During his middle school experiences, he developed a strong love for history and mathematics.

Budhu is 13 years old and is in eighth grade at Baldwin Middle School. She is a member of the Junior Honor Society. As a member, she has walked for Breast Cancer Awareness, made valentines for vets, and volunteered to tutor sixth graders.

She is also a member of the Principal’s Council. Budhu sat in on multiple interviews to hire guidance counselors for her school. She plays two sports, which are soccer and softball.

Community service is very important to her family. Ever since Budhu was seven years old, she has donated a portion of her birthday and Christmas money to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Budhu has donated her hair twice, 9 to 15 inches, to help make wigs for patients in need. She has also donated her used clothes to the Lupus Foundation.

She enjoys going to the park, listening to music, and watching horror movies.

Having all these experiences has given Budhu confidence and stability in her everyday life.

Timmes is not only a model student, but she is also a caring and kind individual. She is considerate of those around her and is involved in school activities. She does not hesitate to help those around her and understands what it means to be a positive member of a school community.

A great example of her being a positive member of the school community happened this year when Timmes became injured and could not participate in girls’ basketball. While most students would be disappointed and upset, Kaitlin still attended every game and practice to support her team. She is the true definition of a team player.

“Young people are powerful,” Curran said. “Samory, Emily, and Kaitlin are great examples of young leaders.”

HigH ScHool StudentS from Baldwin at a Sunrise Wind forum to learn about renewable energy and more.

Baldwin students participate in wind power industry forum Nathan Dieujuste, said, “I was able to learn about the offshore wind industry.

Many companies play different roles in offshore wind, like Atos, who deals in communications on the wind farms, Riggs-Distler gets the parts to build the turbines and companies like Orsted and Eversource leading the initiative to convert from nonrenewable to renewable sources, such as wind. I was also able to learn from some engineers who helped give me insight on my next steps, such as what schools can I go to, who I should affiliate with, and the training needed to get there.”

Another ninth grader, Ethan Questelles, explained how the experience was enlightening for him. “So many new innovations are being used to build and maintain these wind farms safely, efficiently, and sustainably.”

“This experience was definitely one to remember and value because of how informative it was,” said Baldwin High School senior, Gavin Pintado. “We learned about the variety of jobs, projects, and ways that each company contributes and correlates with one another.

Getting to talk to multiple people about how they feel about their job and what they do helped me gain insight into the field. This only strengthened my decision on studying engineering.”

“My mind was always set on aerospace engineering. However, today’s experience opened me up to the possibility of entering the mechanical or electrical engineering fields as well,” said Robert Bautista, a student from grade 10.

“There is such a huge future and demand for jobs in the wind energy sector and it will definitely become a top business and STEM sector in the near future, not just in the U.S. but across the world.”

Students also were given advice for their post-secondary education plans and “how to make the best out of college,” added senior, Malcom John, who plans to study engineering at Binghamton University in the fall. “This opportunity was a great experience.”

aldwin High School students in the STEM and Engineering Academy recently participated in the Sunrise Wind Supplier Forum with the support from New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, Ørsted, and Eversource.

The forum featured representatives from award-winning, tier-one vendors.

Baldwin High School students were the only high school students to participate in this event. The STEM and Engineering Academy students were matched with a mentor from several different global entities, including Aker Solutions, Attos, Blue Ocean Energy Marine, Edison Chouest Offshore, Nexans, and Riggs Distler.

They then shadowed their mentor for the day as they discussed the engineering field, wind turbines, renewable energy, and climate justice. Prior to the forum, students had to complete extensive pre-reading activities and preparation meetings with their mentor so they could effectively contribute to career and networking discussions at the forum.

Students engaged in collaborative conversations with speakers, as well as participate in a team educational scavenger hunt. The academy students also met with Steve Bellone, Suffolk County Executive, and Roger Clayman, outgoing Executive Director of the Long Island Federation of Labor.

“I was super impressed by the work the students had to put into the forum prior to attending,” said Gabriella Franza, assistant director of instructional programs for the Baldwin School District. “The students had to prepare in advance through readings and research and meeting with their mentor beforehand to be part of this learning experience. This industry of offshore wind power represents the future workforce of Long Island, and I am proud to see our students be part of this up and coming innovation. I would also like to thank our high school teachers, Anthony DeAngelis and Krupa D’Souza, for supporting our students on this ‘Leaving-toLearn’ excursion.”

Task force hears personal stories of Jewish hate CAROLiNE KRONENfELD, A senior at Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School, joined junior Yoav Muscal to share their experiences of antisemitism in their school district to members of Nassau County’s Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, during a public forum held earlier this month in Mineola.

By HERNESTO GALDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

“Being here and sharing what has happened is a very important step.”

Those words were shared by Avi Posnick. He’s the Oceanside-based executive director of StandWithUs Northeast & New England, an international nonprofit Israel education organization. The “here” he mentioned?

It was a public forum held by the Nassau County’s Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, a group first assembled in 2021 made up of six county legislators, five members of the public, and a representative from the county executive’s office.

The recent meeting at the county legislative building in Mineola was designed to allow those from the community to share their experiences involving antisemitism.

“We hear about it, we read about it, and some of us may be experiencing it,” said Rabbi Eli Weinstock of the Jewish Center of Atlantic Beach, who chairs the task force. “It could not be ignored without trying to take some action.”

There were 580 antisemitic incidents reported in New York last year, according to the Anti-Defamation League — a record high since 1979, and the highest in the country.

Half of those incidents occurred in public spaces, while others took place at Jewish institutions, private residences, secular schools, and business establishments.

The most alarming number, however, was 42: the number of antisemitic incidents reported in Nassau County.

There were found in a number of places, and include flyers that circulated last year in communities like Rockville Centre, Oceanside, Long Beach and Huntington reportedly promoting Jewish hate. There were also reports of students experiencing antisemitic bullying at school, and finding swastikas in buildings and parks.

Students across the county came forward to share

Hernesto Galdamez/Herald

their stories.

Sofie Glassman says she’s experienced antisemitism since she was 5 and on the school playground.

“A girl told me I wasn’t allowed to play with her because I was Jewish,” she said.

Glassman is now a sophomore at East Meadow High School, but the level of hate is still there. Like one time when she was eating lunch in the school cafeteria and overheard a group of students saying they wanted to throw things at her so they could “knock out my Judaism.”

Glassman told her mother about what happened, who in turn, called the school demanding the situation be addressed.

The punishment? Two months of in-school suspension.

Most recently, Glassman was informed that swastikas were found in the school’s boys bathroom. They’ve also

been found elsewhere in the county, including in a Five Towns-area public school.

Another student, Caroline Kronenfeld, says the Holocaust is taught in schools like hers — Plainview-Old Bethpage John F. Kennedy High School — but very little is discussed about the racism Jewish students face. The senior recounted one experience in the school library where she overheard a group of students saying “Kanye was right.”

That Kanye being rapper Kanye West — now known as Ye — who was accused of making antisemitic statements on social media platforms that some say outright threatened violence against Jews.

“We learn about the Holocaust and the severity of that,” Kronenfeld said. “We don’t learn about the severity of casual antisemitism.”

And that’s important, East Meadow’s Glassman said.

“School is a place that I am supposed to feel safe in,” she said, “and feel supported by the administration.”

Skirt Steak with Roasted Corn Salad

‘round the Chicken Skewers with Mango and Pineapple

It’s time for some sizzle

Saturday, May 20, 8 p.m. $59. LIU Post campus, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville. TillesCenter.org, or (516) 299-3100.

By Karen Bloom

Get fired up! Memorial Day weekend is fast approaching, and with it barbecue season is upon us.

If the idea of longer, warmer days has you reaching for the tongs, you’re certainly not alone. Whether it’s a graduation party, a Memorial Day celebration, or simply to while away the hours with your gang, get outside and get your grilling game on.

From versatile chicken to meats, tender seafood, veggies, and even fruit, it’s never been more fun to incorporate new flavors into grilled cuisine. Find some inspiration with these recipes.

Skirt Steak with Roasted Corn Salad • 1-1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4-inch pieces • 1/3 cup Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce • 1 tablespoon ground cumin • 1 large garlic clove, crushed

In a large bowl, combine chipotle pepper sauce, cumin and garlic; add skirt steaks. Toss to mix well; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.

Preheat grill to high. Grill skirt steak about 5 minutes, or until of desired doneness, turning once. To serve, plate steak with corn salad.

Corn Salad: • 4 ears corn on the cob, shucked • 2 large tomatoes, chopped • 1 small red onion, diced • 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil • 2 tablespoons lime juice • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce • 1/4 teaspoon salt To prepare corn salad: Preheat grill to medium. Grill corn about 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until tender-crisp. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cob. In medium bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, basil, lime juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper sauce to taste, and salt; toss to mix well.

Chicken Skewers with Mango and Pineapple

• 3/4 cup ranch dressing • 1 canned chipotle chile in adobo sauce, seeded and finely chopped • 2 teaspoons adobo sauce (from can above) • 1 tablespoon honey

Acclaimed singer/actor Ciarán Sheehan and his friends appear on the Tilles Center stage for an intimate musical journey, Beautiful, soaring Broadway favorites balanced with heart-tugging Irish melodies and humor are on full display with Dublin-born Sheehan, whose rich tenor voice and performances have been described as touching the soul. Sheehan made his Broadway debut as Babet, Marius in ‘Les Miserables,’and shortly thereafter in ‘The Phantom of the Opera.’ After a year of playing Raoul on Broadway, he moved into the coveted starring role of The Phantom, which he sang in more than 1,000 performances.

His performances easily capture an audience, with the requisite charisma and magnetic stage presence. Don’t miss this lovely evening of Broadway, Irish music and mirth! This concert will lift your spirits and have you humming along to your favorite tunes.

Spiced Sweet Potatoes

• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 pound chicken tenders, each cut into 3 equal pieces • 1/2 pineapple, rind and core removed, cut into 1-inch chunks • 1 large mango, peeled, cut into 1-inch chunks • 1 small red onion, quartered and separated into layers • Oil for grilling (about 2 tablespoons) • 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro • 1 lime, quartered In medium bowl, combine dressing, chipotle chile, adobo sauce, honey, lime juice and salt for marinade. Stir well.

Assemble 4 skewers from ingredients in following order: onion, chicken, mango, chicken, pineapple, chicken, onion. Repeat twice more to complete skewer.

Lay skewers in shallow pan. Pour 1/4 cup marinade into small dish; set aside. Brush remaining marinade over skewers, coating all sides evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate about an hour.

Set the grill to medium-high heat. When grill is quite hot, remove skewers from marinade (discard excess); brush lightly with oil. Lay oiled skewers on hot grates and grill until marked on all four sides and cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes total.

Arrange skewers on serving platter, drizzle with reserved 1/4 cup marinade, garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Spiced Sweet Potatoes

• 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 3 pounds), scrubbed well • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt • 1 teaspoon ground cumin • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil Cover potatoes with cold salted water in a large pot, then bring to a boil.

Simmer until slightly resistant when pierced with a sharp small knife, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain well. When cool, slice potatoes lengthwise.

Mix together salt, spices and apple cider vinegar; add oil in a slow stream.

Brush this mixture on sweet potatoes.

Grill potatoes on a lightly oiled grill rack over medium heat, until grill marks appear and potatoes are cooked through, about 15 minutes.

Serve potatoes warm.

students from Plaza Elementary learning basic concepts of jiu jitsu.

Plaza Elementary School Practices Mindfulness Plaza Elementary School saw the return of its Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program this year.

The program is offered to all students from grades K to 5. The school Principal Mark Gray, along with Theresa McCabe, taught each class. Sessions were divided by grade level. During the first half of each lesson, students practiced yoga, and then switched their focus to learning the basic concepts of jiu jitsu.

“Being able to share time on the mats

with students is incredibly rewarding,” said Gray, who has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and initially brought the program to Plaza prior to the pandemic.

He is happy to see its revival.

The martial art has been proven to increase focus throughout the day and provides physical fitness, mentorship, discipline, and fun. The elementary school plans to bring the program back in the 2023-2024 school year.

JVR Plumbing & Heating - Nassau Master Plumber lic # 2520 Suffolk # 2111 /Ins

Q. We just moved into our first home on a hilly property, and now we see that the bottom of the wall in the corner of our walkout basement is wet. I opened the drywall, and the bottom wood is black, rotted, crumbling and soaking wet, too. While we’re fixing this problem, we want to add a half bathroom and take out the columns to make the family room open and larger. What should we do to stop the water in the corner of the basement, and what do we need to know about taking out the columns? The contractor says he can put in mi-lams, which I think are some kind of wood beam.

A. The water problem, the bathroom, and the changing of structure are three different issues that can be addressed at the same time but require more than a little knowhow. First, water getting in is caused by openings, and it was helpful that you included pictures with your question. On the outside of the basement, where the floor of onte eeper the basement is actually about five inches above the ground, I notice a raised planting bed. The soil and fresh mulch hides an avoidable problem: The edge of the floor is now at or just under the height of the planting bed.

I am certain the artistic intentions did not take into account the fact that water seeks its own level, and most people don’t realize that when we get heavy rain like we’ve been experiencing lately, it can’t flow away as fast as it accumulates, meaning that you can have, temporarily, 2- to 4-inch-tall walls of moving water at a given location. You must lower the flowerbeds and slope the land away from the foundation so a pond of rain can’t work its way under the wall base plate — that rotted wood sill you now see.

After clearing back the mulch and soil, clean the exposed concrete and siding, cut out the wood sill plate as long as you temporarily support the wall.

As far to each side as you can, remove the wood and bottom of the siding, then install a new wood sill over a polystyrene sill sealer on the concrete with a copper termite shield above the sill sealer. Then apply liquid roll-on waterproofing membrane so that it bridges the gap of the concrete and wood wall base.

The internet has contradicting details showing sill sealer foam incorrectly above the copper shield.

Logically, the foam sealer fills rough concrete surface gaps. Copper sheet flashing, called the termite shield, goes over the foam.

The half-bath may require an ejector pump. You need a licensed plumber who knows what permit requirements must be met for your building permit. Never guess what beam is required. Without a professional applying load paths, material and people weight, snow and wind loads, guessing is going to cause extra cost, either from overbuilding or replacing the wrong choice beam. Be safe!

H

e called us the “Herald Firing Squad.” That was fair, I guess.

When Republican congressional candidate George Santos first visited our Garden City office last fall, there were nine reporters — including me — sitting around the conference table waiting for him.

This time, however, it was just three of us. A senior editor, Laura Lane. A senior reporter, Michael Malaszczyk. And me. We didn’t meet on Long Island. Instead, we traveled on May 5 to Queens, MICHAEL where now-U.S. Rep. George SanHINMAN tos works when he’s not in Washington. A few days later, he would face federal charges — charges he reportedly did not know about when he sat with us.

Unlike his office on Capitol Hill, there were no reporters waiting outside his door trying to ask questions.

Instead, it was just the three of us, walking into a cramped space, past a sign on the door warning against using audio devices and video equipment. Staff members had to move around a bit just to seat us at a conference table outside the congressman’s office.

I

Santos arrived just moments after we did, wearing a fresh suit and a light blue tie, and carrying a small food pack from Starbucks that he called his breakfast. A lot had happened to him between that October afternoon he visited our offices, and this chilly Friday morning.

Reporters spent months asking Santos questions about his past. Where he worked. Where he went to school. What happened with his mother. Whether he was ever arrested.

Whether he was truly “Jew-ish,” as he had previously claimed.

Law enforcement officials at all levels announced investigations into different aspects of Santos’s life.

Even the Republican-controlled House Ethics Committee wanted a chance to weigh in.

But sitting there, across from George Santos, none of that seemed real. The congressman outlined what seemed very much like a busy schedule dealing with constituents, introducing bills, and even seeking a place in history that didn’t make him an easy target for latenight talk show hosts and banter for news outlets.

There’s his bill intended to cap state and local tax exemptions beginning at $50,000 instead of $10,000. Or the bill

I

intended to waive the early withdrawal penalty for certain types of distributions from a retirement plan.

And then there’s a bill Santos said I’d personally appreciate, because it would prohibit the United States from providing any sort of financial aid to countries that target members of the LGBTQ community.

“Some of them kill you just for liking someone of the same sex,” Santos said.

“That’s not an American value, right? That’s not something we share.”

In fact, in his first four months on Capitol Hill, Santos has introduced nearly a dozen bills. An impressive slate that almost makes everything else happening around the congressman feel like background noise you can tune out.

That is until you realize that he doesn’t have a single co-sponsor for any of these bills. Not one.

“Usually people work one bill at a time, and then go work the floor,” Santos said. “I’m too impatient to do it that way.

So I just put the first set of ideas in the first quarter down, and now this quarter, I’m going to be doing less of bill introduction and more of working these bills.”

The congressman’s Republican colleagues have indeed stepped up to offer

f he hadn’t built such a house of cards, who knows what kind of good he might’ve done?

initial support for these bills, Santos said. But he wouldn’t share who any of them were, because he feared “the firing squad” would “do follow-ups” — like reporters ought to do — putting those House members “under pressure.”

“And then they might buckle,” Santos said, “and then you’ll ruin my bill.”

It’s surprising, with the walls closing so tight around Santos, that he hasn’t buckled. He’s already looking toward reelection — at least before federal criminal charges, although that may not deter him now. And there are many who truly don’t believe he’ll survive his first term.

But then again, few expected he would still be donning his congressional lapel pin in May — six months after the original New York Times exposé that punched significant holes in Santos’ claims in the first place.

It’s hard not to be impressed with that perseverance. It’s a trait that is far less common in Congress than it should be, and something Santos apparently has in abundance.

Yet, the rocky road he has had to traverse was one of his own making.

Which is unfortunate, because if he hadn’t built such a house of cards around himself, who knows what kind of good George Santos might have done in Washington?

Books are an exception to the lending rule

n “Hamlet,” Polonius said to Laertes, “Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.”

I have always thought books were an exception to the lending rule, since they offer an opportunity to share the immense joy of a great read, but I may have to turn the page on that.

Someone out there has a copy of my “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead,” by Olga Tokarczuk. For a year I thought it was my friend RANDI Sharon, but she’s KREISS an upright sort of woman, and she swears she searched her house and does not possess, nor did she ever possess, my book. I would like to believe her. The novel is a mind-bending challenge, translated from the Polish. But it did land the Nobel Prize in literature, and I want it back.

The book is MIA, and Sharon has a history. She has borrowed other books,

and returned most of them. Once she “found” a book of mine in her house that she had borrowed two years before.

See what I mean by wanting to believe her?

I can’t quite go with Shakespeare on being neither a borrower nor a lender because sharing a much-loved book weaves a powerful connection. And it adds to my pleasure to know that someone I care about will be reading the same book without having to pay for it. There is a particular pleasure in having my friends or loved ones read the very pages I read, as if the laugh I laughed or the tear I shed might linger in the spaces between the words, also to be shared.

The experience has become even more precious in the days of e-books, when most of what we read is on our devices.

Years ago, I lent books out all over the place. I never even wrote my name inside the cover. Then I realized that my book collection was dwindling, and it was all my favorites that were gone and forgotten. I had no idea who had them or

S

for how long.

A friend of mine who borrows books frequently and always returns them promptly suggests that I keep a list of my lending, so I can ask for a book back after a reasonable amount of time. That works when I remember to jot down the transaction, but more often it’s a casual deal and soon forgotten by both the borrower and me.

That’s the other thing.

I’m not a really responsible borrower, although I try very hard. I’m pretty good about books, because they’re so important in my life. But I’m terrible with, say, wrenches. I have a collection of wrenches in my basement that I borrowed over the years and never returned because I have no idea who they belong to. Somewhere out there I have friends to whom wrenches are very dear, aggravating their hearts out because they lent them out and haven’t gotten them back.

Still, a wrench is just a wrench. Sharing a book is like holding hands and jumping onto a fast-moving train, seeing the same words and feeling them differ-

haring a book is like holding hands and jumping onto a fastmoving train.

ently.

On rare occasions I’ve borrowed a shawl or gown for an event. Most times, though, I don’t like to borrow clothing, because I’m bad with red sauce. I don’t borrow money (except when I forget my wallet), and I never borrow jewelry.

Perhaps we need to track our books with digital tags so we can find them when they go missing. Or perhaps I shouldn’t be a lender if I can’t deal with the occasional delinquent borrower. The funny thing is, I was hounding Sharon so much that she offered to buy me another copy of “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead.” She doesn’t get it. I don’t want another one. I want that one, the one with the spaghetti sauce stains on Page 35 and the dog’s paw print on the back cover, the one I remember reading while lying on the beach. For me, the books I have read and loved have a life, memories of which linger in the mind and heart.

There may be a gazillion copies of “Drag Your Plow” out there, but there’s only one copy that shared my pillow and my comforter for three weeks last summer.

How they avoid saying the dirtiest word

n politics, the word “tax” is dirtier than the most graphic four-letter words you can think of. Any politician who plans to last in office longer than his loafers knows that you only say “tax” to blame someone else for every new tax or increase — no matter the reason — or when you boldly claim to be holding the line.

So it should come as no surprise that municipalities across the country have, for decades, found creative ways to “increase revenue streams” and “offset projected spending,” instead of “raising taxes.”

One popular backdoor tax is a fee municipalities tack on to tickets. A redlight ticket in Nassau County is significantly more expensive than in New York City or Suffolk County. In Nassau, getting caught on camera for running a red light costs $250, plus an additional $88 surcharge. In New York City, the fine is $50. In Suffolk, a red-light ticket costs $50, with an administrative fee of $30.

Why is the same violation almost six times more expensive in Nassau than in the city? And four times more expensive than Suffolk?

Red-light cameras violations aren’t meant to be cash cows — they’re supposed to make the roads safer. That’s why there are signs alerting drivers to the presence of a red-light camera. A quick search

online yields the locations of the cameras.

This isn’t a sting operation — it’s a deterrent, in the interest of saving lives.

The exorbitant cost of a red-light ticket in Nassau compared with the rest of the region leads us to question whether the fines and fees are being used as a backdoor tax.

Not completely dissimilar to red-light ticket administrative fees are the proposed water rate increases unveiled by Liberty Utilities last week.

Liberty wants to raise water rates throughout south Nassau by an average of 34 percent. In Lynbrook, the average monthly water bill would jump by $18.32.

The increase sought by Liberty in Merrick is 42 percent. And in Sea Cliff, 13 percent.

While Liberty is a private company, it is ostensibly overseen by a governmentappointed, nonpartisan body. Private companies don’t raise taxes. Private companies that provide public services, such as utilities, have the same taxing impact on families through rate hikes.

In a statement, Liberty said the proposed rate hikes are needed for plant investments, new infrastructure and other things.

Modest increases from time to time are to be expected, and are understood. But rate hikes of 34 percent, and more, are unacceptable. At best, it’s a sign of mismanagement.

So it’s no surprise that Hempstead town officials are howling about Liberty’s rate hikes, despite not taking earlier action.

Supervisor Don Clavin said that the increases are “outrageous,” and that customers were already “overpaying” for water.

Hempstead water Commissioner John Reinhardt said that Nassau residents shouldn’t be forced to pay for drinking water so that Liberty can “generate excessive profits.”

In 2021, the state created the South Nassau Water Authority as an independent body to oversee Liberty, whose predecessor, New York American Water, was roundly criticized for excessive rates.

The water authority has not held a single public meeting.

Call it what you want — administration fee heaped on excessively overpriced tickets, rate hike, or a tax — it still costs us money. It doesn’t matter to a single mom working two jobs to put food on the table.

It still costs money.

Red-light cameras save lives. Clean drinking water is essential. But that doesn’t mean we should be ridiculously overcharged for basic rights of citizenship.

Reduce or eliminate backdoor taxes.

Force utility companies to cut unreasonable rate hikes. Give working-class people a break.

minute of the day.

We can’t forget the border crisis! Biden put Vice President Harris in charge, and that hasn’t worked out well. Border communities are overwhelmed.

Biden declared war on fossil fuels at the beginning of his administration. That’s fine — no one wants global warming. Unfortunately, there wasn’t a plan in place. Thanks to that,

gas prices skyrocketed, and at one point were higher than they had ever been.

Finally, we all can see his cognitive decline.

It’s downright scary. He has held fewer news conferences per year than any president since Ronald Reagan, and gave fewer interviews during his first two years in office than any president in even longer. It’s sad, and at times hard to watch.

Kremer’s way too soft on Biden

To the Editor: Jerry Kremer and I are on opposite sides of the political aisle, but I enjoy reading his opinions. His most recent column, “Biden’s decision was an easy one” (May 4-10), however, was quite one-sided.

I do agree there have been accomplishments Biden should be very proud of. The infrastructure bill was great and well overdue! America needs to be a global leader in microchip production, and his efforts to get us there are needed, too.

The effort to control insulin pricing is another wonderful thing. Unfortunately, Kremer and his fellow Democrats neglect to point out that it’s only for seniors on Medicare. This isn’t helping the working class, or young kids whose families still struggle with those bills.

Now let’s talk about the obvious things Kremer ignored. Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal — my goodness, could that have gone any worse? The chaos, loss of lives, loss of equipment and abandoning our allies was unconscionable. Don’t say that was Trump’s doing.

Decades-high inflation? The Biden administration told us it was transitory. Biden’s spending has helped inflation increase to its highest rate in over 40 years. That affects the working class every

here are so many things to write about these days, so many new headlines. But I can’t help writing about the state of Florida, because it seems more detached from America than any of the other 49 states.

I keep thinking it must be the water that’s making the state’s politicians go crazy, but I’m convinced that the issue is much bigger than H2O content. And the craziness doesn’t begin and end with Gov. Ron DeSantis, because he needs a JerrY state legislature to kremer go along with his daily menu of new laws that make Florida look more and more like Russia.

The six-week ban on abortions is designed to help DeSantis win Republican primaries for the White House. I know DeSantis is married, but any clear-minded politico should know that the average woman has no idea that she is pregnant during the first six weeks. In addition, every poll taken by either the far right or the far left shows that the majority of Americans don’t want abortion banned.

It’s almost as if there are no television stations or other forms of media in Florida, because if there were, DeSantis would have learned that a bipartisan group of South Carolina women legislators were blocking a bill that would ban all abortions. In addition, many red states are being told by the courts that their bans are going too far. To show how crafty DeSantis thinks he is, he signed the abortion ban late on a Thursday night, apparently with the hope that the media wouldn’t find out about his latest political gambit.

Another issue is DeSantis’ battle with Disney World, which is the state’s second-largest tourist attraction, after the cruise industry. The theme park accounts for more than 20 million visitors a year and billions in tourism dollars. When you have such a good thing going, why would any sane governor start a fight that he is destined to lose?

DeSantis’ battle with Disney began when Disney spoke out against the governor’s fight with the LGBTQ community.

The First Amendment protects free speech, and Disney is entitled to the same protections as any ordinary citizen.

I

t seems as if voting for Ron DeSantis could be like voting for Vladimir Putin.

A month to focus on mental health To the editor: May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time set aside for reflection on mental illness and things that might be done to improve the lives of those afflicted.

It’s been said before: The brain is an incredibly complex organ — one we still know so little about. Just as things can go wrong with the thyroid gland or the pancreas or the liver, the human brain is periodically subject to any number of ailments.

The situation may be complicated by a variety of behavioral or social factors. The underlying reality, however, remains true: Things can go wrong with the human brain.

We can only be thankful that in 2023, much is known about how to treat such forms of illness. A broad range of effective prescription drugs is now available.

Yes, there is a lot of money in it, but it is for this reason that the improvements continue. These medications are there to be helpful.

Angered by Disney’s position, DeSantis has tried to strip it of its special tax district status, to stop Disney from having a say over the sprawling community that lives off of the entertainment empire’s success. Without Disney, hundreds of thousands of people would lack adequate fire, police or sanitation services.

To add to the craziness in Florida, the governor has announced that a whole series of textbooks will be banned from use in the state’s public schools, because of his and school parents’ objections to some of the content in those books. He has further ordered that a number of books have their language revised, because the words “are not truthful.” Mentions of the murder of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter movement have been removed from one middle school textbook. Apparently, DeSantis believes that the Floyd tragedy was some sort of fake news.

If you’re not out of breath yet, here’s another scary fact of Florida life. Thousands of schoolteachers have left the state for other regions, out of fear of prosecution for accidently discussing some sub-

One of the first, and perhaps most influential, was lithium carbonate, used to treat bipolar disorder — or, as it was then known, manic-depression. This was the very same clay found in the european springs where the suffering regularly went to “take the waters.”

The clay was packaged for easier use.

This natural substance was no less effective in that form.

Certainly, all forms of psychiatric medication must be treated with the highest degree of respect. Increasing or decreasing the dosage amounts without the assistance of a trained professional is the highest form of recklessness.

Still, help does exist.

The case can also be made that our own human emotions carry a corresponding power to alter our own brain chemistry.

Fits of anger, worry, blame or fear can alter the chemical makeup of the human brain. Here, too, however, psychiatry is making great advances. With hard work and commitment — and the assistance of a psychotherapist — it is possible to maintain a more hopeful and humorous outlook, day by day.

We don’t have all the answers. Still, many good men and women are working to improve our understanding of this most human form of affliction, and to find help for those in need. If the rest of us can set aside our unnecessary prejudices and open ourselves to the help already available, we can all come out ahead.

ject that the governor thinks is objectionable. It is estimated that Florida will need thousands of new teachers to make up for those losses, and it doesn’t look like those new teachers will be coming in the near future.

Recent opinion polls show former President Donald Trump with a wide lead over DeSantis early in the race for the Republican nomination for president.

That lead isn’t a tribute to Trump, but rather a sign of growing dissatisfaction with DeSantis, which could leave the door open to any number of candidates, many of whom have yet to announce their availability.

Many Republicans are hungering for a fresh face to take on Trump next year. But the events in Florida over the past two years make it seem as if voting for DeSantis could be the equivalent of voting for Vladimir Putin. Somehow, the only people who haven’t caught on to DeSantis’ weaknesses are Florida residents. Maybe it is the water.
