Like father, like son

10-year-old follows in his dad’s artistic footsteps By MElIssA KoENIg mkoenig@liherald.com

When Frank Scarpa was just 5, he started sketching everything he saw, and eventually he became such a good artist that he could look at a building just once and draw it perfectly. Now, his son, Giuseppe, is following in his footsteps, selling his lifelike portraits to his fellow Franklin Square residents. “He reminds me a lot of

myself growing up,” Frank said of his 10-year-old son, who is in fifth grade at the Willow Road School. Frank immigrated to the United States from Sicily with his family in 1980 when he was 6, and grew up in Maspeth, Queens. After graduating from the New York Institute of Technology, he painting scenes on more than 200 storefronts throughout Queens, according to a July 1996 article in a Queens com-

munity newspaper. But his biggest accomplishment at the time, the article said, was a 100-foot mural he created at the Metropolitan Oval field, which depicts people from all over the world playing together. Since then, Frank has painted a more personal mural — of his neighborhood in Palermo — over the staircase of his Franklin Square home, and in 2003 he founded Continued on page 3

Willow Road fifth-grader sells his portraits Frasca Design Group, a Mineola-based graphic design firm. “I have been blessed by God with great skills, and I work extremely hard every day to hone these skills because I don’t believe in luck,” Frank said in the 1996 story. “It’s not luck that gave me these skills, it’s a part of God’s plan, and it isn’t going to be luck that makes me successful. It’s going to take lots and lots of hard work.” He is now instilling that work ethic into his four children, teaching them that they have to carry their own weight in society. Eighteen-year-old Isabella teaches piano, Victoria, 16, styles hair, and Giuseppe and 12-year-old Antonella are honing their artistic abilities. “It’s nice to see that they’re not just sitting here,” Frank said of his children, adding that art teaches patience and gives artists a sense of accomplishment — which is what Giuseppe said inspired him to take up art. His father taught him the basics, but Frank said, Giuseppe really “took off on his own.” He started off just drawing eyes and mouths, like Frank said he did when he started drawing, until he felt comfortable enough to draw faces. When he was 7, he realized he had a knack for portraits, and his portfolio now includes lifelike drawings of Spider-Man and Ralph Macchio as “The Karate Kid.” “Each day he gets better,” his mother, Anna Scarpa, said. She posted samples of his work — including a photo of Giuseppe handing his grandfather a portrait he made of him for his birthday — on a Franklin Square community Facebook group on March 19, saying that her son would like to sell his

More than 20 residents responded to that post with portrait requests, Anna said, and Giuseppe now spends about three hours on each of the portraits. His goal, he said, is to raise enough money to

buy professional Copic markers — a medium he is learning, while his sister, Antonella, a seventh-grader at Valley Stream North High School, works to improve her landscapes. “It’s just really fun and relaxing,” Giuseppe said, which Frank said in the 1996 article is the “most important thing.” “You must really love it,” he is quoted as saying, “then you won’t mind all of the hard work.” Frank said he hoped that Giuseppe and Antonella would one day take over his graphic design fir m, but for now, Giuseppe is selling his portraits for $30 for one subject, and $60 for two. They can be ordered by contacting Anna on Facebook, at Anna Romeo-Scarpa.

F.S. man and woman arrested for assaulting bus driver A Franklin Square man and woman have been arrested in connection with an assault against a NICE bus driver, the Nassau County Police Department announced on March 23. According to detectives, a 48-year-old bus driver picked up Hassan Moore, 26, and Shamasia Moore, 31, both of Franklin Square, at the intersection of Monroe Street and Hempstead Tur npike on March 22 at 1:45 p.m. Hassan, however, was not wearing a mask, police said, and refused to pay the fair. A verbal spat Hassan then ensued, and the Moores were asked to leave the bus. When they exited, though, police report, the argument escalated, and Hassan allegedly swung an object at the bus driver, causing a laceration on his left hand.

The Moores then ran off northbound, police said, but a short time later, Hassan was located and arrested without incident. During the investigation, police said, they also found that Shamasia had previously been charged with criminal mischief for another incident. Hassan was charged second-degree assault, thirddegree criminal possession of a weapon and second-degree unlawful possession of marijuana. Shamasia was charged Moore with second-degree criminal mischief and second-degree harassment. They were scheduled to be arraigned on March 23 in Mineola.

Elmont man arrested for robbery An Elmont man was arrested in connection with a robbery on March 23, Nassau County police report. According to detectives, an 18-year-old male victim used social media to arrange a meeting with Rocco Franklyn, 20, of Elmont. When the victim arrived at Franklyn’s house, on Caroline Avenue, police said, Franklyn entered the victim’s car and displayed a knife, placing it against the victim’s neck. Franklyn then

allegedly took a cellular phone, a substance believed to be marijuana, a disposable vape and an undisclosed amount of money, before fleeing the scene. He was located a short time later, police said, and placed under arrest. Franklyn was charged with first-degree robbery and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon. He was scheduled to be arraigned March 24.

State officials consider Belmont renovations continued FRoM FRont Elmont community. “If this is a baseball game,” Kaminsky said, “we’re just in the first inning here.” Horseracing officials have previously discussed other options to make Belmont more attractive to fans, with NYRA officials sending select fans a survey in October 2019 to gauge interest in proposed new eateries and seating arrangements at the park. Among the proposals fans were asked to vote on were renovations of the backyard picnic area, rooftop access, access to the infield on race days, a new social patio and luxury suites. Each option would increase the price of a ticket to the park’s showcase event, the Belmont Stakes. Those discussions, however, were derailed by the coronavirus pandemic, and, Kaminsky said, talks have resumed only recently. “I’m encouraged by the conversations taking place around needed improvements to the Belmont racetrack, grandstand and infield,” State Sen. Anna Kaplan, a Democrat from Great Neck who also represents parts of Elmont, said in a statement. “As with every discussion around changes to the Belmont property, however, I’ve been insistent that the community’s voice and needs are at the front and center of any proposal that could move forward.” In 2019, Gov. Andrew Cuomo approved legislation to create a Belmont Park Advisory Board, comprising five community

members to be named by the county executive, three members of NYRA, two more Elmont residents appointed by the Hempstead town supervisor, two residents of the Village of Floral Park, two members of the Queens community board and one resident of the Village of South Floral Park. The bill was introduced by Solages and Kaplan in the interest of establishing a body that would give local residents a voice at Belmont, like those in place at Saratoga and Aqueduct racetracks. The board, which of fers public endorsements or rejections of the latest developments at the racetrack, must meet at least twice a year to discuss Belmont Park happenings and pass input from the local community along to the state’s Franchise Oversight Board, which oversees NYRA. Any changes to the racing facility would be made in addition to the state’s redevelopment of the park with a 19,000seat arena for the New York Islanders, a new Elmont train station, a 250-room hotel and a retail village. Additional renovations, which the state approved in February, include a new parking garage on Hempstead Turnpike, a 10-foot wall separating the park and adjacent Elmont neighborhoods and hydrogen fuel cell stations for the shuttle buses that will transport guests around the park and to and from the Elmont Long Island Rail Road station. Work on the redevelopment project is continuing.

Petitioning for a Trader Joe’s in Elmont mkoenig@liherald.com

Utricia Charles has to go all the way to Hewlett or Westbury to find healthy food at a Trader Joe’s supermarket for her grandson with an autoimmune disease, which is why, she said, she supports an online petition to get Trader Joe’s to open an Elmont location. The petition was started by Simmonie Swaby at the end of March to get an organic, healthy supermarket in the area to counter the many unhealthy, fast-food options in the neighborhood. A simple Google search shows that there are roughly 16 fast-food restaurants in Elmont, but when one searches for organic food establishments in Elmont, the closest one listed is in Franklin Square. This disparity is endemic in minority communities throughout America, Swaby said. Research has found that African-American neighborhoods tend to have a high concentration of fast-food chains, and the supermarkets in these neighborhoods may carry mainly high-processed foods with large amounts of sugar and sodium, according to Bread for the World — an organization focused on ending hunger in the United States and abroad. “Minority communities have less

access to healthy and organic food, let’s do something about it,” Swaby wrote in her petition on March 21, after previously using the Trader Joe’s website to request an Elmont location. She chose to focus on getting a Trader Joe’s in the area, she said, because it is affordable, and whenever she goes to the Hewlett site, she sees a diverse customer base. “I just like the atmosphere,” Swaby told the Herald. “It’s almost like a community supermarket.” And without an organic and healthy supermarket in the area, she said, people are not going to opt to eat organic food. “Sometimes you just grab what is closest to you, rather than what’s best for you,” Charles explained, adding that they will be “stuck with whatever the local supermarket has.” The petition had almost 40 signatures by the end of last Friday, and Swaby said that while she knows it will take a lot more for Trader Joe’s executives to take notice of the petition, “at least I know I’m raising awareness.” “Everyone should feel that they have a responsibility to get to its next steps,” she said, noting that getting an organic supermarket in the area is “the one little thing” she wants to do for her community.

Herald Football News Long Beach defense stifles Elmont by tony bEllIssImo tbellissimo@liherald.com

Midway through Nassau County football’s condensed six-game regular season, Long Beach has brought one of the toughest defenses to crack with only 18 points allowed in March. Last Saturday afternoon, the unit directed by coordinator Rocco Tenebruso made clutch stop after clutch stop to secure the Marines’ 7-0 victory over Elmont in a hard-fought Conference II battle at Long Beach Middle School. The lone score of the picture-perfect spring day — sophomore Jeff Conway’s 3-yard touchdown run with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter — was set up by sophomore Jack Miller’s fumble recovery — one of the defense’s three takeaways — at the Spartans’ 14. “This is the third straight week our defense played really well,” head coach Scott Martin said after Long Beach improved to 2-1. “It’s exciting. Rocco had them scouted pretty well and the wind definitely helped the two quarters we had it at our backs. The kids did a great job executing. They were aggressive getting to the ball and that’s what you like to see.” Elmont, which slipped to 1-2, had a myriad of chances to get on the scoreboard. In addition to turnover issues, the Spartans were unable to solve Long Beach’s defense on fourth down. “Our kids played hard and I thought our special teams and defense played well,” Elmont head coach Jay Hegi said. “We really struggled with the wind. We had opportunities but couldn’t convert them into points. Back-to-back games we fell just short.” The Spartans, who lost 26-21 to South Side in Week 2, spent most of

the day inside Long Beach territory. They forced a turnover early in the first quarter when senior lineman Jason Richardson batted down a pass and intercepted it at the Marines’ 18. The offense couldn’t cash in, however, setting the tone for the rest of the game. The pace picked up following a scoreless first half. A quarterback change didn’t help Elmont’s fortunes as the first possession following the switch resulted in Miller’s fumble recovery. Four plays later, Conway scored on a direct snap and Mike Contreras booted the extra point for what would prove the difference. The Spartans drove inside the red zone on the ensuing possession but Long Beach junior cornerback Chris Buonocore ended the threat with a nifty pass breakup on a fourth-and-5 attempt. In the fourth quarter, the defense kept answering the bell with Elmont knocking on the door. Junior Christian Tarsia had an interception midway through the fourth quarter and senior Tommy Bivens recorded a sack on a fourth-and-2 with three minutes remaining. In between, senior Izzy Maldonado saved a potential safety on a high snap during a punt and hammered it 30 yards against the wind. “I’m really proud of these guys,” said Martin, whose team defeated Calhoun 12-6 on sophomore quarterback Hayden Sofield’s touchdown run in overtime in Week 2. “Our offense is still a work in progress but we’ve got a lot of young guys contributing.” The Marines will try to keep the momentum going this Saturday at Kennedy. Elmont has a difficult trip to MacArthur on tap. Both games kickoff at 2 p.m.

Curran: Nassau County to build back stronger Nassau County has faced unprecedented issues over the past year, with the loss of more than 3,000 residents to the novel coronavirus and renewed calls for police reform. But through it all, County Executive Laura Curran said, residents have proven their resiliency, coming up with new and creative ways to help their neighbors, which, she said, makes her believe Nassau will emerge from the pandemic stronger than it was before. “Standing here now, I see a future brighter than ever,” she said in her State of the County address, which she gave from the stage of Elmont Memorial High School March 24. “And tonight, I’ll tell you exactly how Nassau County is seizing this once-in-a-century opportunity to come back stronger than we ever imagined.” Nassau has steadily worked to rebuild its economy in the year since Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that all schools and businesses would have to shut down to stop the spread of the coronavirus, she said. The county has provided more than 200 restaurants with grants of up to $10,000 and more than 35,000 families with food at a time when many New Yorkers have been out of work. The county is now helping school districts access Federal Emergency Management Agency funds for investment in information technology and improved

nassau County exeCutive Laura Curran said the State of the County is strong at Elmont Memorial High School on March 24. ventilation, and it continues its inoculation efforts. At press time, nearly 35 percent of Nassau residents had received at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine, the highest percentage of any major county in New York state. “Even when it hasn’t been easy politically,” Curran said, “I’ve advocated for businesses that have followed the rules and are just trying to get by, and I’ll continue to advocate for common-sense reopening.” Curran also used the speech to tout her accomplishments, before she faces Republican Town of Hempstead Council-

man Bruce Blakeman, of Atlantic Beach, in the November general election. “I believe government can work for the people, but only when it’s honest, transparent and responsive,” Curran said, “and for too long, that was the opposite of what we had here in Nassau.” The county has reduced the timeframe for project approvals from the Department of Public Works, and increased the annual average lane miles of roads repaved between 2019 and 2021 by more than 70 percent when compared to the average lane miles of roads repaved in the three years before Curran took office.

Additionally, Curran said, she did not increase property taxes during the coronavirus pandemic, and instead used money left over from the 2019 budget to fund the unanticipated expenses of the pandemic last year. As a result, she said, Moody’s upgraded Nassau’s bond rating to positive for the first time in 15 years, citing “a third consecutive year of improved financial results” and “ongoing budget and management discipline.” “My administration will continue policies of fiscal restraint,” Curran said, “so that the county can finally, after almost a decade, end the state’s control over county finances.” The county is now seeing record-low crime rates, she said, and is seeking to improve the community’s relationship with the Nassau County Police Department by expanding community policing initiatives, creating more Police Activity Leagues and passing new legislation to reform the police department. It requires all police officers to wear body cameras and will include “unprecedented steps to increase police data transparency, provide additional de-escalation and antibias training and ensure our force reflects the diversity of our communities.” “We should never be afraid to talk about ways to improve policing,” Curran said, “but there will be no defunding the police in Nassau County. Our law enforcement will always have my respect and I will always have their backs.”

Celebrating Women’s History with Bingo

OTher winners include Khloe DiLemme, Ava Barros, Kathleen Galdamez Martinez and Ashmita Kumari. sTewarT ManOr assisTanT Principal Nathaniel Marner read women’s achievements for the school’s virtual Women’s History Month Bingo on March 19.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, Stewart Manor School hosted a virtual Bingo game focusing on “Famous Firsts for Women” on March 19. Leading up to the game, students lear ned about notable women in the morning announcements. A different name was shared each morning, and students were tasked with listening and taking notes on the individual’s significant accomplishments. These facts shared were then used in the Women’s History Month Bingo game. Assistant Principal Nathaniel Marner read each of the achievements, and students used their notes to identify the person and fill out their card. Some of the clues given were “the first woman to become vice president” and “the first woman to be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.” Winning students were awarded with a homework pass. The game served as a creative and fun way for the students to lear n more about famous women in the past and present.


Inside LI to host college information webinar By Nicole AlciNdor nalcindor@liherald.com

Herald Inside LI will host a live Zoom webinar called, “Staying Local for College,” on April 8 at 7 p.m. Panelists from local colleges and universities will discuss admissions processes, precautions taken on campuses, accommodating students during a pandemic, and student retention and expansion. The panelists will include Marguerite Lane, the assistant vice president of enrollment management at Molloy College; Christine Murphy, the vice president for enrollment management at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn; Robert Oliva, the assistant vice president of enrollment management at St. Francis College; and Joseph Posillico, the vice president for enrollment management at the New York Institute of Technology. Oliva, who will share more information about St. Francis College during the webinar, said when the pandemic hit, the recruitment process at St. Francis College changed in major ways. He also said the school has had to adapt to the pandemic by creating an online visitation program— which went from having in-person to online appointments involving engagement with students over Zoom during times that were most convenient for them. “We became even more intentional

about literally meeting students where they were at…in their neighborhoods and at their homes…celebrating students during one of the most challenging times we’ve ever been through,” he said. “These adjustments have kept us stronger together — and we are much better prepared for a return to the new normal in the fall.” Posillico said the most extensive change caused by the pandemic is how many colleges and universities have become test optional, such as New York Institute of Technology. “This change has helped students apply to colleges that previously they may have felt reluctant to consider, and it has also reduced the stress levels associated with test-taking,” he said. Other changes at New York Institute of Technology, Posillico said, include how admissions events have become virtual throughout the pandemic, allowing students from across the country, even the world, to attend. For more on this topic, watch the webinar Staying Local for College on April 8, sponsored by Adelphi University, Molloy College, New York Institute of Technology, St. Francis College and St. Joseph’s College.

ovid-19 definitely impacted us, and we lost our whole spring season. In June, Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave us permission to play under certain restrictions. When we returned, we had to keep equipment clean, social distance and wear masks while on the field. The spectators were limited, and baseballs had to be rotated often. We took Covid seriously because we wanted to continue playing sports. So we bought a bucket dedicated to cleaning equipment. We hosted more intimate practices, sometimes with only six players. We took some proactive approaches toward working with kids and split them up when we could, even in the dugout. We took every precaution and didn’t want any situations. If one kid got sick, the whole team went down, and that would have been

awful. Through the summer and fall, we played about 30 games, and there was not one incident with Covid. I am not the hero. Mayor Alan Beach and Keith Bonomo [the village’s director of parks and recreation] stepped up and opened fields for us, while Joe Sultana, who runs the league, did a lot for the kids of Lynbrook. They ensured we were all safe and gave us access to fields All of us were restricted over the year, and kids were just hunkered down and weren’t having those needed interactions. Baseball created that avenue for social interaction for those kids. They followed the policies of the state and were also able to enjoy themselves. You could see the smiles on their faces and their eagerness to play. It was unbelievable, and this kept the spirit in them to keep going.

ver the past year, we've managed to follow all of the Covid restrictions while we tried to meet on a weekly basis. We've been doing as [many] outdoor activities as possible. Whether it's Crossroads Farm or Westwood Park, we're thankful to have several outdoor facilities to be able to get the scouts together. It's been challenging, especially keeping our scouts' interest during the summertime. At that time when things were really strict, we did a virtual campout where all the boys had to set up camp in their backyard with their parents' supervision. Our scoutmaster, Joe Somma, has done a great job coming up with creative ideas to keep them interested and helping them advance through their ranks. He's really the one who's been at the helm, and everyone

enjoys what he's done for us. We've actually grown in our number of scouts just through word of mouth, so it's been pretty cool to see that. None of this would happen without the parent involvement. Many hands make light work, and Joe and I have been able to share the wealth of responsibility with our parents. They've helped with handling fundraising efforts, coordinating camping trips, planning activities, and even our communications through blog posts and updating our Facebook page. We have a new summer camp that we're looking forward to, and as always, we're looking to stay involved in the community as much as we can. Our current project is building a bulletin board at Crossroads for community events.

THEIR FRONT-LINE STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS JON JOHNSON

HEWLETT Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Club President/Coach

T

he Covid pandemic has been a gamechanger in the world of youth sports. As the president of the Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Club, I have seen firsthand the strain it has put on youth programs across Long Island and our country. Although the larger programs have had their share of challenges, it is the small community-based programs like HLSC that have really struggled to remain open. At first, the hardest part of the pandemic was the uncertainty. There were legitimate concerns from parents and players alike about the challenges facing our sport. Over the summer, we started to receive guidance from the various local governing bodies about how to “return to play.” There would be a fall 2020 season. There was a scramble by clubs to find facilities.

Countless hours were spent making phone calls, emails and attending Zoom meetings with school districts and various other venues. The response from our community was very encouraging. The desire for our kids to get out and do something, anything was overwhelming. Travel teams had to be pieced together, sometimes merging with neighboring clubs to field a team in a certain age group. Before the season began, there were Zoom meetings for club presidents, travel coaches and referees to make sure everyone understood — all eyes were on us. We had a responsibility to our team, club, community and to all of youth sports to adhere to the to the guidelines. The fall season was a success, and we’re looking forward to the spring 2021 season.

ike so many, the pandemic hit my family and friends very deeply. On March 24, my older brother was admitted to Queens Hospital Center; never did I ever imagine I would never see him again. Then, on March 27 at approximately 11:30 a.m., my brother Richard Johnson passed away from what we all now know as Covid-19. Richard was my older brother, age 59, at the time of his passing. Not only was he my brother, but he and I were in business together for well over 25 years. The impact of his death cut my family and me sincerely. We will never forget 2020 going forward. Sitting here doing the math, I lost over 20 family and friends combined to the virus. The pain runs very deep. Professionally, like many others, my business was greatly affected as well by the pandemic.

HERALD HOMETOWN HERO

My business shutdown when the rest of New York shut down in early March. Thankfully things opened back up. It's challenging to work during a pandemic, but we must count our blessings. We know the saying, "That which doesn't break us only makes us stronger." I know many of the residents in Elmont have significantly been affected over the past 12 months. I pray for all families going through this trying time. The Elmont community is a fantastic community on Long Island. Our fortitude and strength will shine through. As the president for the Elmont Cardinals, I look forward to seeing things get back to a sense of normalcy in the coming months. Stay strong all. Pain is temporary, and pride is forever.

We’ve rediscovered outdoor living since the pandemic upended our lives. Not that we didn’t enjoy our decks — and patios — prior to the start of stay-at-home orders. But now, these spaces are truly an extension of our living environment. Restrictions imposed by the coronavirus have spurred greater demand for outdoor spaces and interesting new amenities. The first step in fully enjoying your deck is some basic deck prep work to get ready for another summer season. Before you start pulling out the grill and deck furniture, inspect your deck to see how it has weathered the winter. Look for cracked and splitting decking, faded and/or peeling deck stain or paint, signs of mold and mildew, rot and decay, and damaged deck railings. Regardless of whether your decking material is wood or composite, at a minimum give it a good cleaning. Use a mild cleaning solution, a stiff bristle brush and a garden hose to give it a good cleaning. Alternatively, you can use a pressure washer; however, take care not to damage the decking boards by using too high a pressure setting. If you observe black splotchy mold and mildew patches, use a deck cleaner that can remove them. Also, if your wood deck has bleached out and faded to an undesirable gray and you want to restore its original color, look for cleaning products that can specifically do so. After giving a wood deck a good cleaning, look to see whether the water beads up on the boards or instead absorbs into the wood. If the

semitransparent stain to the traditional clear deck water sealer. Clear deck water sealers can be difficult to apply and are apt to leave the deck permanently tacky if too much is applied. Also, deck water sealers tend to peel after a couple of years. Stripping or sanding a deck to remove a peeling deck sealer is a project you want to avoid at all costs. Expect to have to apply a deck sealer every couple of years or so, even if you use a semitransparent stain. Also, look to use deck water repellants that include a mildewcide, which will help to impede the growth of mold and mildew. Mother Nature is simply very rough on deck surfaces. Finally, as part of your deck prep work, if you observe any rotted or decaying boards, floor joists or railing pieces, replace them with new moisture- and insect-resistant lumber. Make sure to use corrosion-resistant fasteners for attaching the new lumber. Required new decking material should be installed prior to sealing the deck. Once you’ve completed your deck preparation work, you can expect to enjoy the beauty and functionality of your deck for the entire warm weather season, with little to no maintenance. Simply sweep or hose down the deck a couple of times during the summer to keep it looking new and feeling wonderful.

Questions remain in budget process, as schools finalize proposals mkoenig@liherald.com

Local school district officials are facing difficulties finalizing their budget proposals before the May 18 vote, as questions remain about state aid. Under Gov. Cuomo’s executive budget proposal, which he presented to the public in January, various school aid categories would be consolidated into one broader category and each school district in New York would receive federal stimulus funds to support “ongoing operational and pandemic-related costs,” according to the governor’s website.

But local school district officials said last week that they do not know exactly what they can use the coronavirus aid funds for, and are still unsure how much money they are receiving from the state, as New York State Senate and Assembly members work to finalize a deal. “Stimulus funding is like a grant, and we cannot count on it in years to come,” Franklin Square Superintendent Jared Bloom said at the district’s third budget workshop on March 24, noting that he hopes the Covid aid “supplements and not supplants” the amount of school aid the district receives because there are still “costs associated with the pandemic that

will not be going away next year, and new costs that will have to be allocated to get us back to our new normal.” Franklin Square school district officials are currently proposing a $41 million budget for the 2021 - 22 school year, which would be a $925,342, or 2.3 percent, increase in expenditures over the current budget. If the district were to receive just a “one-time infusion of funds” for Covid relief, Theresa Hennessy, the assistant superintendent of finance and management, said, officials would use the money “in a way that would not create a funding cliff ” like the creation of a mathematics

lab and additional support for the district’s technology department. Plans can change, however, because they do not know how much money they will be getting under the consolidated state aid category, making it more difficult to accurately budget. “We need to have a proper plan in place,” Hennesy said, and “properly plan for issues in the future.” With that in mind, she said, district officials are planning to use money from its 2016 capital reserve for air conditioning at Washington Street School, the remediation of a sinkhole at the John Street School and creating makerspaces in the school libraries — projects that have been delayed due to the pandemic. The Board of Education is scheduled to adopt the budget on April 21. Sewanhaka Central High School District officials, meanwhile, estimate that they will receive nearly $44 million in state aid next year, based on the unanticipated expenditures the district has already had to spend money on since the coronavirus pandemic began last year and the amounts set forth in the governor’s proposed budget, Kevin O’Brien, the assistant superintendent for finance and operations, said at a March 23 school board meeting. Officials would use the funds — along with $9 million left over from the current budget, $3.2 million from payment-in-lieuof-taxes payments and a $153.9 million tax levy — to fund their proposed $215.5 million budget proposal. The budget would be roughly $6.2 million, or 2.99 percent, higher than the current budget. A majority of the costs associated with the increase would fund new courses at the five high schools, including: ■ Fashion design. ■ Drawing and painting.

The budget proposal would also provide funds for all music and Career and Technical Education equipment, create a digital system to track and maintain the district’s instruments and add art and STEM courses at the middle schools, according to Taryn Johnsn, the assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. As a result, O’Brien said, programming costs would account for about 75 percent of the Sewanhaka Central High School District’s budget proposal, while administrative costs and capital expenses would contribute to roughly 12 percent each of the budget. To improve the school facilities, he said, he expects the district would spend just $1.5 million for scheduled renovations, with additional renovations made under a proposed 10-year capital reserve comprising $10 million in unassigned and reserve funds, which, O’Brien said, “can cover all kinds of work.” The Sewanhaka Board of Education is set to adopt the budget on April 13.

A. There’s much more to this, and the direction from which you approach your project will determine how it will play out. For example, building departments had gone through a process of closing down, then reopening in a limited way to safely distance the staff, to some being completely open with various forms of limits, such as installing onte eeper plastic separation walls or making people wait outside until they’re called to come in. Either way, the permit process, which is filled with many requirements and many pitfalls under normal circumstances, has slowed down even more. People still have bills to pay and lives to get on with, so instead of hearing the blunt truth about getting approvals after a lengthy process filled with lots of requirements and many turn-backs, you have been told false information in order to circumvent the whole painful process. Since I constantly receive calls asking if I can drop everything and rescue the next victim of this fraud, I know it’s very real. Add to that the people who’ve just learned that their property is missing legal papers for parts of their newly purchased home, which should have been taken care of before the real estate closing, and it makes for a real bottleneck of problems, especially because we generally can’t move forward with the work they really wanted done without also taking care of the illegal items, often done incorrectly, not to code. If anyone had ever told me, when I was sitting in architecture school, starry-eyed with all that enthusiasm and promise of a bright future working on skyscrapers, that if I wanted to do work in the suburbs and watch my kids, and now grandkids, grow up, I would end up like a lifeguard at a pool where most of the swimmers are calling to be rescued, I might have kept my summer job in construction. Instead I dived in to solve problems and help me, my clients and the contractors all figure out how to keep all of our heads above water. Since costs have increased three- and four-fold over the past year because of material price increases, I wonder why people feel so pressured to get the most important investment they will ever make rushed and emotionally painful, but they do. The whole process takes at least a year, including three to four months of planning (including measuring, design and construction drawings with a pile of code requirements), construction estimating, permit plan review and permit issuance.

Q. We want to get started this spring on an addition to our second floor. We’ve been trying to find out about how long it will take and how much it will cost. We’re not sure we need a permit, since we were told by one contractor that it isn’t going outside the edges of our house. He also said we might not need an architect if we don’t need a permit. Is that true? We suspect that there’s more to this.

m I a part of the cure/Or am I part of the disease?” –From “Clocks,” Coldplay John Kasich, the former Ohio governor who was roundly defeated in the 2016 Republican presidential primaries by Donald Trump, was doing that thing on March 25 that so many conservative politicians do when they talk about gun control. He was pressing his hands against his ears, telling CNN’s Kate Bolduan, “I can’t SCoTT hear you. I can’t hear you.” BRINToN He didn’t literally say that, nor cover his ears, but he might as well have. Kasich was interviewed on CNN last Thursday, after mass shootings in Georgia and Colorado in which a total of 18 people were gunned down. Bolduan had asked Kasich what lessons President Biden might learn from Kasich’s attempt to enact gun control measures as governor of Ohio after the Las Vegas massacre in October 2017, when a 64-year-old Nevada man opened fire on the crowd at the Route 91 Harvest music festival, killing 60 and injuring 411. If only 10,000 Ohioans had marched on

W

the Statehouse in Columbus, then perhaps he would have been able to “jam it through,” Kasich lamented, referring to gun-control legislation. But, he said, people didn’t show up to demonstrate, so he couldn’t. He must have a short memory. Five months after the Las Vegas shooting, on March 24, 2018, a throng of Ohioans marched on their Statehouse, demanding stricter gun-control laws. The Columbus Dispatch described the scene this way: “Veteran activists and first-time protesters were among the thousands of people who gathered near Downtown on Saturday to take part in the Columbus March For Our Lives rally. People of all ages congregated . . . to listen to speakers promoting school safety and gun control.” The rally followed the Feb. 14 massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in which 14 students and three adults were killed and 17 others injured. It was one of more than 700 demonstrations that took place across the country as part of the student-led March For Our Lives movement, with hundreds of thousands of people — of all ages — demanding action on gun control. In 2018, Kasich had appeared on CNN — also on March 25 — to speak on gun control. Elected leaders “should be held absolutely accountable at the ballot box” for

H

their failure to pass stricter gun-control measures, Kasich told Brianna Keilar on “State of the Union.” Now, just three years later, Kasich appears to blame our nation’s abject failure to act on gun control on we, the people, because, apparently, we haven’t been loud enough in our persistent cries for change. Forget for a moment that Kasich lied to Bolduan — and she never challenged him on his claim that Ohioans did nothing. They most certainly did turn out in droves to demand change, so Kasich has a lot of gall to blame them. Fifty-seven percent of Americans want to see our laws governing the sale of firearms made stricter, according to recent Gallup polling. That’s down 10 points since 2018, when demand for tougher gun laws peaked, but it’s still a majority of Americans. So why pick on Kasich? He, after all, is a Republican who was once a darling of the National Rifle Association and then did an about-face and at least tried to pass guncontrol laws in a red state. But I need to take my frustration out on someone. As a nation, how do we overcome the inertia on gun control if Kasich represents the best of the Republican Party on the issue? What, precisely, would it take to shift the tide, to stem the violence, to find peace at last?

ow do we overcome the inertia on the issue if John Kasich is the GOP’s best?

Kasich argues that we need more marches. How many? How large? Give us the plan. We need a blueprint for action. We, the people, tried what you suggested, John, but nothing came of it. If we couldn’t pass stricter federal gun-control laws through mass demonstrations in 2018, then gun culture surely has us locked in its viselike hold. What we need is leadership — courageous leadership. Simply put, our federal lawmakers must step up. The people have done their part, time and time again. Now it’s our elected leaders’ turn. They, and they alone, can enact legislation to protect the American people, including a federal background check for all firearms, which would eliminate the gun-show loophole that allows anyone in 41 states to buy a firearm without any such check. Only six states — California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon and Rhode Island — require universal background checks for all firearm sales at gun shows, according to the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence. Three states — Connecticut, Maryland and Pennsylvania — require them for handguns. If our lawmakers were in the room with me now, I’d tell them the time for dithering and bickering has ended. For God’s sake, just do your jobs. Scott Brinton is the Herald Community Newspapers’ executive editor and an adjunct professor at the Hofstra University Herbert School of Communication.

Dogs on Long Island get a leg up on Covid

hile many humans are still waiting in lines for the Covid19 vaccine, an unusual initiative has put our four-legged friends at the head of the pack. And there’s a big payoff for their humans as well. Canine Concerns, a small, privately financed nonprofit that advocates for dogs, received a one-time, $1.3 million grant from the $1.9 trillion stimulus bill to immunize all dogs on Long Island against the coronavirus, beginning this week. It’s unclear why Long Island was chosen RANDI for the project, but KREISS dog ownership has skyrocketed over the past year, and our communities were designated a high priority for this effort. It was reported in Newsday that Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is seeking any positive publicity he can garner, has strongly pushed for this extraordinary “Project Woof Speed” to begin in New York. He was up against Sen. Ted Cruz, who was lobbying for the new canine vaccine to go to Texas. Cruz was hoping to neutralize his bad press

from the temporary abandonment of his family dog, Snowflake, when he traveled to Cancun during the catastrophic Texas ice storm. Even before landing the grant, Canine Concerns had tapped Wolf Pharmaceutical, in Buffalo, to produce the vaccine, which is in the form of a suppository. It will be given out for free (to be administered at home) at thousands of veterinarian offices in our area. They will be labeled “for canine use only,” and should not be used by humans. A deal was been brokered with Amazon to deliver the vaccine doses to Long Island veterinarians beginning on Monday, as we went to press. Individual pet owners may contact their veterinarians for pick-up information. The terrific part of the plan is that when you pick up the single-dose vaccine, you receive a coupon for a free trip to Buffalo when travel becomes safe and available. Included are tickets to two outstanding visitor outings: “The Best of Buffalo, by Bike” and “Scavenger Hunt: Roaming Buffalo.” As part of the package, several Buffalo-area Marriott Hotels will allow dogs to stay for no charge during your visit. Proof of vacci-

nation, human and canine, will be required. There is little known about Covid transmission to other species, although a Malayan tiger tested positive last spring at the Bronx Zoo and has since recovered. The risk to dogs is exceedingly small, and transmission from a dog to a human has never been documented. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however, “A small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, have been reported to be infected with the virus that causes Covid-19, mostly after close contact with people with Covid-19. “Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading Covid-19 to people is considered to be low. “It appears that the virus that causes Covid-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations. “Treat pets as you would other human family members — do not let pets interact with people outside the household.” It has been reported in The New York Times that a number of high-profile individuals have gained early access to the dog vaccine to be sure their pets are protected. A friend of Ivanka Trump (she is currently

hough it’s not clear why, our communities were designated a high priority for this effort.

living in Miami) reportedly said that Ms. Trump had scored two suppositories for her Chihuahuas, Barbie and Barbie. According to the same article, President Biden has secured vaccines for Major and Champ, although no one in the Biden circle felt comfortable administering the dose to Major after a recent minor biting incident. In the trials of the Wolf Pharmaceutical vaccine, there were several side effects documented. In a small number of dogs, their barking pitch was elevated for several weeks, causing consternation for their owners but no other apparent problems for the pooches. Oddly, some 5 percent of inoculated dogs demonstrated enhanced cognitive ability in manipulating the pieces of dog puzzles to gain a food reward. There were two incidents of family dogs reversing day and night, making it difficult to rouse them for walks. I plan to get the new vaccine for my darling Lillybee as soon as possible. I especially look forward to getting my free trip to Buffalo, since I have never visited Niagara Falls. I may also go over the falls in a barrel. If you believe that, then you probably believed the rest of this column. Happy April Fools’ 2021. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Newspapers don’t belong in state recycling bill

s

tate Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach who chairs the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee, has introduced legislation in the Senate that could cripple magazines and newspapers across the state, particularly smaller community newspapers without a large online presence. While we believe the intent behind Kaminsky’s measure — the Extended Producer Responsibility Act (S.1185B) — is admirable, it does not account for its potential effect on magazines and newspapers, long considered necessary ingredients of a working democracy. While it might seem self-serving for a newspaper to oppose legislation that could hurt our industry, there is the big picture to consider if the measure were to cause an increasing number of magazines and newspapers to go under. What would be the effect on society? Would we see more “news deserts” — holes in coverage where people were unaware of what was happening in their own backyards because no one was there to tell their stories? Undoubtedly, the answer is yes. This is why the Heralds oppose the legislation. If passed by the Legislature and signed by Gov, Andrew Cuomo, the measure would shift responsibility for the recycling of paper, plastic, glass and aluminum packaging and products from local municipalities, including our towns and villages, to the manufacturers in an attempt to force them to reduce packaging, thus decreasing waste in our landfills and the need for recycling. There is no way for magazines and newspapers, however, to reduce their use of paper without shifting completely to online reporting, which is still in its infan-

cy — it’s been around a mere 25 years. Most newspapers, even the big dailies, are simply not ready to make such a bold move. Print advertising, in many ways, remains the engine that drives our industry. Kaminsky — and State Assemblyman Steve Englebright, chairman of the Assembly’s Environmental Conservation Committee — should exclude newspapers from any extended producer responsibility legislation, in the same way that books are. The act’s primary intent is to reduce the amount of packaging that manufacturers use to contain anything from milk to children’s toys and everything in between. From this perspective, the proposal makes a great deal of sense. Manufacturers have consistently upped the ante over the decades, moving from minimal packaging to excessive, and superfluous, packaging, most often intended to increase the marketability of their products. All that packaging — much of which is not recyclable — has caused a glut of waste that is sent to our incinerators and landfills. As a nation, we’re drowning in packaging. In this respect, shifting responsibility for recycling would, first, encourage manufacturers to use more recyclable or recycled packaging, and second, force them to reduce their packaging, period. Magazines and newspapers, however, are not packaging — they are the product — and thus they belong in a different category, and should be excluded from this type of legislation. The Kaminsky and Englebright measures address the recycling crisis that has gripped the nation. In 2018, Chinese officials decided that their country would no

letters Anti-vaping law is a win for the town To the Editor: The Town of Hempstead Board and I on March 23 unanimously approved laws aimed at combating youth vaping. Collaborating with the town medical director, Dr. Dave Neubert, and community leaders, we adopted legislation that prohibits retail sales of vaping or e-cigarette products within 1,000 feet of a school, playground or park. We also approved a second bill that enacts a pivotal zoning change restricting the opening of tobacco businesses — including those selling vape or e-cigarette products — to light manufacturing or industrial zoning districts. And the law prohibits those businesses from operating within 1,000 feet of a school, park or playground. I announced the proposed legislation in early March in Elmont. Among those in attendance were Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby, Councilmen Bruce Blakeman, Anthony D’Esposito, Dennis Dunne Sr., Tom Muscarella and Chris Carini, Town Clerk Kate Murray, Tax Receiver Jeanine

longer purchase recyclables for reuse from the U.S., claiming that the material they were receiving was often contaminated. Paper products, for example, were stained by food and drink, rendering them useless, so the Chinese were paying for recyclables they couldn’t turn into new products. The Kaminsky/Englebright legislation, however, does not specifically address how we would recycle. It merely states that “a convenient system for consumers to recycle” would have to be set up. The common practice of comingling recyclables — plastic and glass with aluminum and paper — makes no sense, because anything wet on the plastic, glass and aluminum — most often food — ruins the paper. The answer is dual-stream recycling, in which plastic, glass, aluminum and paper products are separated by the homeowner at the curb in different containers. The Village of Valley Stream adopted the practice last year in reaction to China’s decision not to accept U.S. recyclables. Along with its rollout of the dualstream program, Valley Stream undertook an intensive educational campaign to help residents better understand what can, and cannot, be recycled. The Kaminsky and Englebright measures do address the need for greater education, the cost of which manufacturers would have to bear. Clearly, recycling is a complex issue, but lumping magazines and newspapers in with packaging sends a terrible and confusing signal to the public. Excluding them from the extended producer responsibility act, as has most often been the case when such legislation has been enacted in other parts of the world, particularly in Europe, would only be right.

he potholes that used to greet us each spring, but now are with us year-round, remind us of the condition of our roads and bridges. They also remind us of the damage caused by water and weather. The hurricanes of 2020 cost $39 billion in damage, and more than 100 lives were lost. The wildfires in the West caused $16.5 billion in damage, and the drought there caused $4.5 billion. Why are we not better prepared for these assaults on our safety and livelihoods? President Barack Obama roBerT called for investment in the sCoTT nation’s vulnerable, decaying and outdated infrastructure, but Congress failed to act. President Donald Trump urged a national commitment to infrastructure investment, but Congress balked. And once again, the American Society of Civil Engineers issued its quadrennial assessment of the nation’s infrastructure, and gave it a grade of C-minus. Eleven of the 17 infrastructure categories, however, earned D’s. How would you react if your son or daughter brought home such grades from school? And these grades are for the visible parts of our infrastructure, not the less visible, like

broadband, and the invisible, like the internet. New York’s part of the report card indicates dire conditions for our region. According to the report, driving on roads in need of repair in New York costs each of us $625 per year, and 9.9 percent of the state’s bridges are structurally deficient. Drinking-water improvements in New York would cost an estimated $22.8 billion. Some 424 dams are considered potentially high hazard. Long Island’s transportation systems are the most congested in the nation. As we know from the brutal winter storms, extreme cold, devastating rainstorms, hurricanes and floods, many of our systems are susceptible to catastrophic failure. And such failures are likely to increase because of climate change. The categories the ASCE evaluated include roads, bridges, airports, dams, levees, storm-water systems, railroads, drinking-water systems, inland waterways, ports, the electrical grid, and transit, such as subway tunnels and stations. The organization estimates that the U.S. is spending only half of what is needed just to bring these systems up to par. Even more is needed to upgrade electrical and cybersecurity networks. Furthermore, it is estimated that if the investments are not made, the country could lose $10 trillion in

We are heading in the right direction with the passage of these bills. Vaping and e-cigarette products pose a threat to children, and are indirectly marketed to youth. Prohibiting the opening of establishments that target these sales, and limiting the selling of these vapor products in areas where children gather, is the first step in acting on this issue. Businesses within 1,000 feet of a school, park or playground will be required to comply no later than Oct. 1. The amendment to the town’s Building Zone Ordinance includes “tobacco businesses,” “retail electronic cigarette stores” or places that are used for the retail sale of “tobacco products,” “herbal cigarettes,” electronic cigarettes and/or vapor products. Hempstead’s Anti-Vaping Action Plan is providing stricter code enforcement of these harmful products and educating children at schools and libraries with various informative anti-vaping forums. This bill also entails a detailed advertising campaign to spread awareness and promote greater restrictions on the sale of these

economic growth and more than 3 million jobs within 17 years. What a catalog of loss. Economic decline, higher costs for consumers and businesses, and damage to our quality of life are the quantifiable effects of our neglect. Leading business leaders have called for action. Black Rock CEO Larry Fink called on Trump, and has now called on President Biden, to prioritize infrastructure investment for the nation’s well-being. Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has called attention to the crisis of crumbling infrastructure. Even the U.S. military and the Department of Homeland Security have noted the ways in which decaying bridges and systems are interfering with the country’s capacity to defend itself. Fortunately, Biden has heard these calls, and has promoted infrastructure spending not only for competitive and security reasons, but also as a way of creating jobs and securing an equitable cleanenergy future. In the past, Congress has said no to such spending because it feared that new taxes would be required to pay the bill. But even without agreeing to “no new taxes” for our numerous needs in so many areas, especially for children and schooling, history suggests that there is a way to get going.

Early in the 20th century, the U.S. sold Liberty Bonds to the public, to encourage citizens to take part in a patriotic act and to raise the funds necessary to support our allies in World War I. The bonds, issued in denominations of $10 to $10,000, also introduced many families to the idea of investing for their own future. It is estimated that two-thirds of American wage earners owned bonds. In 2002, the federal government introduced a program of Liberty Bonds to help rebuild lower Manhattan after the Sept. 11 attacks, and raised billions of dollars. Why not a new Liberty Bonds program to raise at least some of the money necessary to secure our systems and networks? Money saved in the bank is yielding little in the way of return on investment, but it could be invested in tax-exempt bonds yielding better, though still modest, interest rates. That could mitigate some of the required tax burden. Furthermore, major banks and investment firms could be called on to take on back-office operations and distribution as a service to society, and demonstrate their often-cited commitment to environmental, social and corporate governance. Together, people, corporations and the government could heed the calls for action and take dramatic steps toward preserving the nation’s security and brightening its future.

toxic products to youth. Additionally, the town has already put up “No Vaping” signage at local parks, recreation centers and beaches, and requires tobacco/vape businesses to provide signs that detail the hazardous health factors of the products they sell. It is time to act on an issue that is prevalent among the younger generation. Passage of these bills is only the beginning in improving children’s future. DONALD X.
