Reorganization meetings of the Elmont Union Free School District and Sewanhaka Central High School District boards of education are approaching, and parents are voicing their criticisms of some trustees and the boards’ lack of transparency throughout this school year.

The public reorganization meeting for the Elmont elementary school board is set for July 10, at 8 p.m., at the administration building on Elmont Road.

Newly elected Elmont Trustees Tiffany Capers and Angel Ramos will be sworn in on July

11. The Elmont elementary board of trustees will then select two members to serve as its “voice” on the Sewanhaka high school board.

The boards will also elect two trustees to serve as president and vice president. Those seats are currently held by President Michael Jaime and Vice President Tameka Battle-Burkett.

At the elementary board’s June 6 meeting, many Elmont Memorial High School parents and community members expressed their mistrust in Jaime and Battle-Burkett, and urged them to resign.

“The general feeling is that Continued on page 5

Sewanhaka district students to host multicultural expo Gift of Giving Ambassador Program to raise money for summer career-focused internships

By REI WolFSoHN The Gift of Giving Student Ambassador Program will hold a multicultural expo at Sewanhaka High School on Saturday to raise money for its summer internships.

The student ambassadors are raising funds for their unpaid internships this summer. At the expo, which is free and is scheduled to run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the high school cafeteria, seven different cultures will be on display, as well as games, food and raffles.

The program helps students

visualize their career goals for the future through volunteering for local businesses, neighborhood groups and nonprofits.

The student ambassadors and their leaders said they are very proud of the work that they have accomplished this semester.

Speakers at the expo will include Gift of Giving founder Elizabeth Forbes, student ambassador director Jessica BrownSicari and Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages. The ambassador leads — the students from last year who have been guiding this year’s cohort — will also speak. Other speakers are sur-

prise guests who are prominent figures in the community.

The expo will feature tables representing some of the student ambassadors’ cultures, including Haitian, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Pakistani, Italian, Nigerian and Jamaican heritages. Each booth will also provide a food dish that spectators can enjoy during the expo. “(The students) have a lot of dedication and creativity,” Brown-Sicari said.

The expo will include two raffles that will cost just a few dollars to enter. The first basket will include a traditional Pakistani

purse and an authentic Latin sombrero, among other cultural items. The second raffle prize will be a Father’s Day-themed basket.

Other games such as Uno, Basketball Shootout, Connect 4, Dominos, Sorry and playing cards will be offered throughout

the expo.

The student ambassadors also will open the stage to people who want to tell stories about their cultures. If the storytellers prefer to remain anonymous, they could submit their stories into a bowl, and one of the students Continued on page 4

State files suit against anti-abortion group

By BRANDON CRUZ bcruz@liherald.com

State Attorney General Letitia James announced on June 8 that her office had filed suit against Red Rose Rescue, a rightwing anti-abortion organization, for blocking access to three Planned Parenthood locations in Nassau and Westchester counties, including the Planned Parenthood in Hempstead on July 7, 2022.

The lawsuit, announced just over two weeks before the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe V. Wade, claims that several members of the pro-life group, Christopher “Fidelis” Moscinski, Matthew Connolly, William Goodman, Laura Gies and John Hinshaw, have interfered with clinics by lying to clinicians to gain access to the facilities under the guise of being a patient and having an appointment.

Once inside, James’s office said, a Red Rose Rescue member posing as a patient will open a back door, allowing others inside, where they have occupied waiting rooms and refused to leave, barricaded entrances, threatened staff and clinicians, and physically blocked access to women’s health care services, all in an effort to stop clinics from operating.

“Red Rose Rescue has made it their mission to terrorize reproductive health care providers and the patients they serve,” James said. “Only we have the right to make decisions about our own

Make no mistake — abortion is health care, and as New York’s Attorney General, I will continue to protect and defend everyone’s legal right to safely access health care in this state.”

James also announced that she would

seek to ban members of Red Rose Rescue from coming within 30 feet of any reproductive health care facility in the state.

Under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and the New York State Clinic Access Act, it is illegal to block access to reproductive health care clinics or harass their patients.

At the news conference announcing the suit, Dipal Shah, the chief external affairs officer for Planned Parenthood of Greater New York, thanked James for

holding Red Rose Rescue accountable for actions that he said impact not only Planned Parenthood patients, but staff and volunteers as well.

“It’s unacceptable,” Shah said. “We see, on an almost daily basis, anti-abortion protesters outside our health centers … using harmful tactics to block patients’ access to our health centers — everything from verbally abusing them, forcing pamphlets in their face, and blocking them from entering.” He added, “These top tactics are not just disruptive, they’re psychologically destabilizing and they’re incredibly harmful.”

Catherine Lederer-Plaskett, president of Choice Matters and founder of Project CATCH (for the Center for Analysis and Tracking of Clinical Harassers), share her experiences with Red Rose Rescue.

“I would bet that everyone in this room has a day that changed their lives forever,” Lederer-Plaskett said. “I have mine. It was Nov. 27, 2021. That was the day All Women’s Medical in White Plains was invaded,” Red Rose Rescue managed to take over the entire facility, she said.

“If they had trespassed in a mall, they would have been evicted, removed, taken out immediately,” Lederer-Plaskett said, “but because it was only women’s health care, the police could be heard saying they didn’t want to get involved.”

James said she hoped to continue being a leader in the fight for a woman’s right to choose.

Scenes from a historic Belmont Stakes

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — June 15, 2023

I

t was a picture-perfect day at Belmont Park last Saturday as the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes was held before a spirited crowd of more than 48,000.

History was made in the 12th race of the 13-race card when Jena Antonucci became the first female trainer to ever win a Triple Crown race when Arcangelo finished atop the nine-horse field in the Belmont.

It was also a historic evening for Arcangelo jockey Javier Castellano, who five weeks earlier guided Mage to victory in the Kentucky Derby. Castellano has now captured all three Triple Crown races after winning the Preakness twice earlier in his career.

The race marked the 50-year anniversary of Secretariat’s electrifying 31-length Belmont triumph.

One of the symbols used to honor “Big Red” this year was the addition of blue roses to the traditional blanket of white carnations awarded to the winner, reminiscent of the famous blue and white checkerboard silks of Secretariat’s owner, Meadow Stable.

Arcangelo, owned by Blue Rose Farm, returned $17.80 for a $2 win ticket. Forte, sent off as the favorite, charged late to finish second just a nose ahead of Tapit Trice. Angel of Empire and Hit Show finished in a dead heat for fourth. Rounding out the field was National Treasure, Il Miracolo, Red Route One and Tapit Shoes.

About the Student Ambassador Program

According to Forbes, the program’s mission is to “provide the students with leadership tools, entrepreneur tools, and different aspects of different fields, just to help guide them. That way, when they do graduate from high school, they kind of ________

have the mindset of the real world and maybe the path ahead of them.”

The student ambassadors’ program exists so each student involved can visit various businesses in Elmont and the surrounding areas throughout the semester.

They each spend three hours with each business, learning the ropes with handson tasks and hearing the business owners’ stories.

“I wish someone would have sat me down and said, ‘This is what life is about,’” Forbes said. “These are the struggles, these are the obstacles, but guess what, you’re going to be amazed at how you handle obstacles when you get to be my age.”

Board president and V.P. called on to resign we do not want Dr. Battle-Burkett or Mr. Jaime representing us in any kind of leadership position,” said Sheldon Miekle, an Elmont parent and former school board trustee. “They are not the voice of our community.”

With Elmont High Principal Kevin Dougherty leaving and both Sewanhaka Superintendent James Grossane and Elmont elementary Superintendent Kenneth Rosner retiring this summer, many members of the Elmont school community said they are fed up with feeling ignored by board trustees.

There have been a few instances where the board has caused the community to reach its boiling point — with the most significant move being Dougherty’s unexplained leave of absence right before the start of the 2022-23 school year, in what administration officials described as a “sabbatical.”

The move sparked protests among parents and students, who demanded answers about his sudden removal.

Dougherty was reinstated to his position on Oct. 11.

In March, Jaime was under fire for reportedly using a school bus to take himself, a Roosevelt school district student and the mother of Anael Alston — the assistant commissioner for the state’s Office of Access, Equity and Community Engagement — to the Javits Center last November. The Obama Foundation held

its first-ever Democracy Forum there, and Alston was scheduled as a guest speaker.

Alston oversees and manages the state’s My Brother’s Keeper program, which the Elmont school district implemented in 2021.

The forum is a unique opportunity for anyone given a chance to attend — but some parents were angered by the fact school district resources were used when Elmont and Sewanhaka students were denied the experience.

Additionally, the Elmont community found out through a Newsday story about a $400,000 payout to Dougherty after he resigns this month — a plan that was agreed to in September. According to the report, the community was not made aware of this decision.

This information was not discussed in any school board meetings or made part of a budget presentation.

Shamika Jackson, a 16-year Elmont resident and parent, called the lack of transparency from the school board “disturbing.” Another speaker, Utricia Charles, president of the Argo Civic Association, said before she heard about what was happening with Dougherty, she did not pay attention to school board matters.

When she found out Dougherty was leaving, she decided it was time to get involved. She shared a personal story of how “Doc” helped her child when he was in some trouble — so she was disheartened to hear Elmont was losing the

“When there was that election, I went out to tell people and campaigned, I walked door to door, I walked my dog and I told people about the importance of voting in these elections,” Charles said. “We are a wonderful school district, but there needs to be a change at the top.”

With these circumstances in mind, Lynette Battle, the Elmont Memorial High School PTSA president, said it is time for the president and vice president of the school board to consider “passing the baton.”

Aubrey Phillips, president of the Parkhurst Civic Association, said there was a 50 percent increase in voter turnout at this year’s school elections in May. “Democracy is at work now,” Phillips

said. “I believe it’s in the board’s best interest to empower the people who elected you.”

Both Battle and Phillips mentioned trustees Sharon Earley Davis and Nancy Garlick are up for reelection in May 2024.

Community members at the board meeting made it clear they are keeping tabs on how the two trustees vote and their positions on issues going forward.

“This year has been a rough year for everyone involved — there’s a level of expectation and it was missed this year,” said Battle. “If you are not up for the task, please remove yourself — train up the next individual and show them how to lead, that’s a great leader.”

Herald sports Arcangelo wins historic Belmont Stakes

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

There was no Triple Crown on the line, but the 155th running of the Belmont Stakes was historic nonetheless.

Trainer Jena Antonucci etched herself into thoroughbred racing history last Saturday when Arcangelo, ridden by jockey Javier Castellano, pulled away down the stretch to finish atop the nine-horse field before a roaring crowd of 48.089 at Belmont Park.

The Florida-based Antonucci, 47, became the first-ever female trainer to capture any of the Triple Crown races and did so with her first-ever entry. Castellano, meanwhile, has now won all three.

“It’s the horse and I am so grateful,” said Antonucci, who began training on her own in 2010. “I will forever be indebted to his honesty to us, his heart, and he is why you get up seven days a week. I didn’t get a lot of sleep the last few nights. I’m not going to lie. I’m so grateful.”

The race marked the 50-year anniversary of Secretariat’s electrifying 31-length Belmont triumph. One of the symbols used to honor “Big Red” this year was the addition of blue roses to the traditional blanket of white carnations awarded to the winner, reminiscent of the famous blue and white checkerboard silks of Secretariat’s owner, Meadow Stable.

Owned by Blue Rose Farm, Arcangelo was full of run throughout as he sat behind pacesetters National Treasure, the Preakness winner, and longshot Tapit Shoes along the backstretch. As the field approached the turn and with Angel of Empire and Hit Show still very much involved after a mile in 1:37.41, Castellano made a decisive move to put the lateblooming son of Arrogate in ideal position going into the turn.

A retreating Tapit Shoes left clear running room for Arcangelo to sneak up along the inside of National Treasure, who dropped out of contention at the quarter pole. Drawing away at the eighth pole, Arcangelo then held off late-charging favorite Forte and Tapit Trice to win by 1 ½-lengths in 2:29.23.

“This is a dream come true. To win two Triple Crown races in the same year, it’s amazing,” said Castellano, who rode Mage to victory in the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May and guided Bernardini and Cloud Computing to Preakness scores in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

“Everything worked out good,” he added.

“There’s always something to shoot for, but I’m just going to keep working hard.

But this is so special. He was so impres-

sive. He was always there for me.”

Castellano entered 2023 0-for-15 in the Kentucky Derby and 0-for-14 in the Belmont Stakes. Last Saturday’s win was redemptive for the 45-year-old Venezuelan native, who finished runner-up in the Belmont on three occasions — all by narrow margins, including a three-quarter length loss aboard Stay Thirsty to Ruler On Ice in 2011; a head defeat to Tonalist in 2014 when piloting 28-1 shot Commissioner; and a nose defeat to Creator in 2016 aboard

Destin.

Arcangelo, a $35,000 purchase who didn’t make his career debut until December, won his third consecutive start and was coming off an impressive triumph in the Grade 3 Peter Pan at Belmont May 13.

He paid $17.80 to win and earned a $900,000 payday to boost his lifetime earnings to $1,067,400 in five starts.

Jon Ebbert, owner of Blue Rose Farm, was in awe as he earned his first Grade 1 win of his career and said he always had

faith in the grey ridgling.

“It’s amazing,” he said. “What an amazing ride. I’m so proud of the horse. He’s an amazing horse. He’s all heart. We knew he had it in him. Javier rode him perfectly and Jena is an amazing trainer. I’m so lucky to find her. The rest is history.”

Forte nosed out Tapit Trice for second.

Angel of Empire and Hit Show finished in a dead heat for fourth. Rounding out the field was National Treasure, Il Miracolo, Red Route One and Tapit Shoes.

Smoke of wildfires raises health concerns Air quality advisories were issued five days in a row amid worst pollution in memory

By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

T

he thick yellow haze that descended on Long Island last week was more than a natural sepia-toned filter — the unnervingly post-apocalyptic scene brought with it some serious health concerns.

The blanket of smoke that blocked out the sun on June 7 was a result of a soonerthan-typical start to what is projected to be Canada’s worst wildfire season ever.

The resulting smoke plume was like nothing New York state had ever seen, according to officials from the Department of Environmental Conservation.

“It’s certainly the worst in memory, by far,” DEC Commissioner Basil Seggos said of the air quality at a June 7 news conference. “It certainly is unprecedented.”

Long Island, like most of New York, received health advisories regarding degraded air quality every day from June 5 to 9. The advisories came as no shock to residents who were experiencing a yellow, smoke-scented world.

It “smelled like a campfire I couldn’t escape from,” one Facebook user commented to the Lynbrook Herald. “Amber skies, and fire pit smell everywhere,” wrote another.

The Air Quality Index, created by the Environmental Protection Agency, measures the level of pollutants in the air and the resulting health concern. Sensitive groups — children, seniors, pregnant women, or those with heart or lung conditions — should be mindful of AQI ratings of over 100, and everyone, regardless of health, should be careful when ratings rise above 150. Places in Nassau County saw ratings of over 300 during the June 7 peak of bad air. New York City had a rating of 484, briefly making it the most polluted city on earth.

“If you’ve been looking out the window the last couple of days, you can see the effects of the Canadian wildfires,” Dr. James McDonald, acting commissioner of the state Department of Health, said at Wednesday’s news conference. “If you’re out walking and all of a sudden you’re coughing, you’re feeling short of breath, that’s a signal. When your body speaks to you, you want to listen to your body.”

The DEC and other environmental and health organizations urged people to limit time outdoors. Gov. Kathy Hochul issued a statement urging all schools to suspend outdoor activities, and the Public High School Athletic Association canceled a number of sports events on Long Island.

“When we’re talking particularly about wildfire smoke, we know that contains fine particulate matter, which we know can enter the lungs,” Trevor Summerfield, the director of advocacy in New York for the American Lung Association, said. “These particulate matters could be potentially toxic as well. We don’t want anything in the lungs that’s coming from burning. We know that’s just not healthy for you.”

Significant long-term exposure can lead to more serious complications, such as asthma. The DEC and the American Lung Association urged people to stay indoors as much as possible, and to wear an N95 mask if a trip outside was unavoidable.

Last week’s conditions were something of a perfect storm of atmospheric anomalies. According to Nelson Vas, the warning coordination meteorologist for the National Weather Service, the intensity of the smoke Long Island experienced was exacerbated by a poorly timed low-

pressure system that funneled smoke from extreme fires in Quebec south to Long Island and the metropolitan area.

The stifling smog, Vas said, was so intense that Long Island temperatures dropped several degrees.

“Some of the wildfires have spread a bit,” Vas said. “That and the wind direction have all come together to really increase the concentrations down here.”

The severity of the fires is due largely to an extended dry season in Canada. Vas explained that New York has not experienced such a dry spring, making a similar wildfire season here unlikely.

Nonetheless, even more concerning is

the possibility that this is only the beginning of a pattern that could continue to threaten the Northeast with smoke. Climate change is a direct cause of the increased intensity and longevity of wildfires, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. “We’re really concerned about climate change,” Summerfield said.

“We know that climate change has an impact on our lung health because of incidences like this. I think it’s just getting worse.”

He added, “In New York, we’re blessed to have great air quality, for the most part.

And when we’re used to that, and then you get (June 7), which is like the worst you could possibly see, it’s a pretty stark wakeup call.”

The stifling smog has given way to normal atmospheric conditions, but if the experts are right, and Long Island can potentially expect future run-ins with wildfire smoke, a hazy yellow world may be added to the growing list of “unprecedented events” people should get used to.

New Navy attack sub named USS Long Island

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — June 15, 2023

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

A new Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine has been named the USS Long Island, paying homage to the multitude of veterans from Long Island and the island itself. The announcement was made to active sailors and media on Pier 88 in Manhattan during the 35th annual Fleet Week, the city’s time-honored celebration of the sea services, by Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro.

The submarine is the third U.S. Navy ship named after Long Island, but a long way from the original USS Long Island steam trawler purchased by the Navy in 1917. As an attack submarine, the 377-foot-long vessel is designed specifically to seek and destroy enemy submarines and surface ships, project power ashore with Tomahawk cruise missiles and Special Operations forces, carry out intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, support battle group operations and engage in mine warfare.

“New York has been a Navy town since our nation’s founding,” Del Toro said at the announcement. “Today over 200,000 veterans are spread across the five boroughs, with over 50 percent living on Long Island, in Brooklyn and Queens. The service of these veterans throughout our nation’s history has been admirable, and it’s an honor to recognize them as well as the district itself with this submarine naming.”

Capt. Patrick Evans, a naval special assistant for public affairs, wrote in an email to the Herald about the history of the original USS Long Island: “It served as a minesweeper, harbor patrol ship, and an icebreaker until after the first world war and (was) decommissioned in 1919.”

The second ship to bear the name Long Island was an

Notably, it was the first of the Navy’s prototype aircraft carriers, which launched squadrons of attack aircraft in the Pacific theater in World War II. Earlier, in 1941, the ship cruised the East Coast on neutrality patrol, keeping a watchful eye on potentially dangerous patrolling German submarines. A year later, the ship would prove instrumental in assisting with the Guadalcanal campaign.

Fighting at the Battle of Guadalcanal, one of the turn-

ing points in the war, the USS Long Island helped save the island of Guadalcanal from a Japanese onslaught.

The vessel carried Marine Corps dive bombers, and two squadrons of Grumman Wildcat fighters, built in Bethpage, into the skirmish.

After the war, the USS Long Island trained pilots and ferried returning American troops home from the Pacific as part of Operation Magic Carpet, the largest combined air and sealift ever organized to bring troops back. Many of them, no doubt, were coming home to Long Island.

their lives. We get better at maximizing highs and minimizing lows. We feel less hassled by the little things that go wrong, and we get better at knowing when something is important and when it’s not. The value of positive experiences far outweighs the cost of negative experiences, and we prioritize things that bring us joy. In short, we’re emotionally wiser, and that wisdom helps us thrive.”

We learn that neglected relationships, like muscles, atrophy. Our social life, being a living system, needs exercise. Further, the reason social relationships are so valuable has a biological basis – a means of protection from predators. Without meaningful relationships, we remain in a state of stress, often unknown to us.

Make the effort. Most of us have friends and relatives who energize us and who we don’t see enough. As Mark Twain said, “There isn’t time, so brief is life, for bickerings, apologies, heartburnings, callings to account. There is only time for loving, and but an instant, so to speak, for that”.

Published this year, “The Good Life” reports on the Harvard Study of Adult Development, the longest scientific study of happiness ever done. Tracking the lives of hundreds of participants for over 80 years, the report concludes that it is the strength of our relationships with friends, relatives and coworkers that most determine quality of life, health and longevity.

Regarding older adults, the authors note that time is suddenly very precious. Questions arise such as: • How much time do I have left?

• How long will I stay healthy?

• Am I losing it mentally?

• Who do I want to spend this limited time with?

• Have I had a good enough life?

• What do I regret?

“The fewer moments we have to look forward to in life, the more valuable they become. Past grievances and preoccupations often dissipate...research has shown that human beings are never so happy as in the late years of

grow?

By Karen Bloom ne of the best things you can grow in a garden is a life-long gardener. With summer upon us, the world outdoors beckons. Starting at home. Your personal landscape is a great place to enjoy being outside.

The kids can benefit in so many ways from digging right in. Literally. There’s growing body of research that indicates gardening-related activities boost physical and emotional health, even academic performance, besides the all-around benefits of family bonding.

So parents and grandparents who are not already getting down and dirty with the kids, what are you waiting for?

From the onset, prepare to pivot. Gardening with kids requires flexibility. Most kids prioritize exploration and discovery in the garden rather than appearance or production. You might have a planned activity, but they prefer to focus on the grasshopper they just found. Rather than corral them back to the task at hand, try talking to them about the grasshopper, sharing their wonder and excitement, and then finding a way to connect it to your activity.

Remember that positive associations with gardening are the goal. If they walk away with those, you’ve succeeded. And they’ll be back to learn more.

Let kids choose what to plant. Offer guidance and guarantee some sure-success plants are among their picks. But if they want beets, roses and petunias, why not? Giving kids agency over what plants they grow also gives them the incentive to continue engaging with their plants over time. Don’t forget that gardening isn’t confined to a raised bed or backyard. You can grow a multitude of plants indoors, on windowsills, porches, or balconies, you name it!

Choose garden projects that work for your needs. To set yourself up for success, always consider projects or activities you might want to try through the lenses of the kids’ age and ability levels, your budget, available space, available time, safety concerns, and growing conditions in your area.

Leave room for good old-fashioned digging. Many kids love to dig in the dirt, and digging and observing are excellent for their sensory systems, gross and fine motor skills, and practicing focus and empathy for small creatures. Leaving a designated dig space in the garden gives them a spot to search for worms and grubs, and helps keep disruptive digging out of other areas of the garden.

Make the garden a joyful place.

Positive associations with nature early on in life give kids a sense of belonging to the natural world and responsibility for it. Help with the behind-the-scenes maintenance of kids’ gardens so they continue to be an inviting space for them. Give them opportunities for responsibility, but don’t turn gardens into a chore or punishment they would rather avoid. Embrace kids’ preferences, and avoid

Get outside and go green pressing them to taste, touch or smell something they don’t want to.

Ensure activities are geared toward equal access. Think through how to share a gardening experience equally with all the kids participating.

Try collaborative gardening: One kid digs a hole, another sprinkles compost, another kid places a seedling in, and so on. This helps multiple kids be involved in smaller garden tasks.

Set aside time when kids can explore the garden without an intended activity.

Positive associations also come from moments when kids are allowed to observe, explore and play in a self-led way.

And just as important, enjoy gardening yourself.

One of the most powerful teaching tools is the use of modeling.

Don’t underestimate how impactful showcasing your enthusiasm for gardening can be on the kids you’re working with.

A garden is a wonderful place for kids to try caring for a living thing and being responsible for the success or failure of a growth cycle. And when failures happen, it’s a space for kids to learn how to deal with an undesired outcome, grow their resiliency, and try again.

The Fab Faux With a commitment to the accurate reproduction of Beatles’ repertoire, The Fab Faux treat the seminal music with unwavering respect, known for their painstaking recreations of the songs (with emphasis on the later works never performed live by the Beatles). The musical virtuosity of The Fab Faux — in actuality five New York City-based musicians — upends the concept of a Beatles tribute band. Far beyond extended cover sets, their shows are an inspired rediscovery of The Beatles’ musical magic. Imagine hearing complex material like ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ or “I am the Walrus” performed in complete part-perfect renditions. Or such harmony-driven songs as ‘Because,’ ‘Nowhere Man,’ and ‘Paperback Writer,’ reproduced with extra vocalists to achieve a double-tracked effect. That’s The Fab Faux experience.

Friday, June 16, 8 p.m. $75, $55, $45, $35. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. Tickets available at Ticketmaster.com, or ParamountNY.com.

Felice Brothers A folk-Americana-rock-country band with deep roots in varied genres, The Felice Brothers are lauded as ‘musician’s musicians’ and poets.

The brothers — Ian on guitar and lead vocals, and James, a multiinstrumentalist and vocalist — hail from the Catskills. Their early songs echoed off subway walls and kept company with travelers and vagrants. Their current lineup, with the addition of bassist and inaugural female Felice member Jesske Hume and drummer Will Lawrence (also a singer/songwriter) as their rhythm section, promises to be the best yet.

Their latest tunes carry messages that beg listeners to think deeply about the environment, humanity, legacy, and death. Many of the songs depict nostalgia, transience and getting older. For songwriter Ian Felice, there must also always be a current of hope in the music.

Sunday, June 18, 7:30 p.m. $37 and $32. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (516) 767-6444 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

What permits do we need before we sell?

Q. I’m trying to figure out what to do about the old construction on my house that I am being told needs permits before I can finish selling. First, I understand that I may have to pay a penalty, and second, I’m wondering why my buyer says they will take over and get permits after we close but their attorney says it’s a lot more complicated because we didn’t get a flood repair permit after Hurricane Sandy. What can you tell me about this? It seems much more complicated than it needs to be.

A. This is a typical case of “you snooze, you lose.” I regularly hear from people who tell me that their friends, contractors, even their attorneys, in some cases, give them “off the record” advice not to make waves, not to do anything. But the issues and requirements don’t just go away, and design professionals are held back from what you onte eeper really wanted them to do, like an addition or a home makeover, many years later.

Waiting and ignoring the requirements has put you in a much more difficult situation. Since Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency has required that people who received funding, whether directly from the federal agency or through public funds like New York Rising, had to confirm that the funds were put toward the repairs they were meant for. It’s just like providing your car insurance company the receipts and/or an inspection to confirm that the money they gave you for repairs was spent on the car, and not on some fraudulent luxury expense.

In 2013, your municipality required a repair permit, and instead of repeatedly contacting you, they opted to say that they notified you (once or twice), and now it’s your problem that you didn’t respond.

The friction this created has lasted long after the memory of the flood turmoil has diminished.

People feel ambushed, but arguing or passing on the requirement doesn’t make it go away.

In fact, one of the requirements is a “proof of loss” letter issued to the property owner, preferably the person who owned the property at the time of the flood. Switching to the next owner just complicates the process. Even though repair permits do not have a permit fee, most people made improvements during repairs, and your municipality recently doubled the fees for property improvements. So putting off the repair is now going to cost even more, which your buyer’s attorney might also realize while protecting the buyer.

When it comes to building department fees, one of the biggest municipalities, whose fees were more lenient, just raised them substantially. A couple who applied for permits in 2019, later hampered by the pandemic, saw their projected fees go from $2,000 to $4,600 this past month. Yes, it really did take that long, due to the pandemic and the stages of approval they had to go through, and they weren’t snoozing. Listen to the buyer’s attorney and follow through. Good luck!

Answers to todAy’s puzzle

T

o date, there are at least 10 Republican Davids who have announced that they are running for president, and there are perhaps another five coming. This should very much please the Goliath, Donald Trump, who welcomes as many competitors as possible.

Almost all of the declared candidates have one thing in common. They are afraid to attack the former president, even though doing so would make them look truly independent. Former Vice President JERRY Mike Pence criticized Trump for KREMER his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, but then pledged to support the eventual party nominee.

From candidate to candidate, the story is the same. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis takes pokes at Trump and tries to outdo him, but refuses to aim any direct hits at him. DeSantis wants the support of the pro-Trump movement, so he won’t take on Trump in any meaningful way.

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley has some impressive credentials,

I

and talks about “moving forward,” but she can’t muster the nerve to say anything negative about Trump. On issues like abortion, she is wishy-washy, saying she is pro-life and not criticizing DeSantis for his six-week abortion ban. She claims she does “not want to get into the numbers game.”

South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott is well respected in the Senate. He is very articulate, but when confronted with specific issues, he dances around like Fred Astaire. He could become a formidable candidate, but if he hedges like all the other candidates, he won’t get any traction.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a former tech and finance executive who relatively few people have ever heard of. He is prominent in conservative circles. He has a lot of work to do to get public recognition, and even though he declared back in February, he hasn’t made a dent in any public opinion polls. He is silent on Trump.

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has great executive experience and is working hard to attract independents.

He has made some negative comments about Trump, primarily about Trump’s

D

role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. Hutchinson has a very conservative record on taxes and abortion, which might attract some voters. But he is too low-key at a time when more vocal candidates get noticed.

Doug Burgum, the governor of North Dakota, is a new face on the national political scene. In his home state he is known for cutting taxes and anti-transgender policies. Money is no issue, because Burgum is a billionaire. But a governor from an obscure state won’t ever be a favorite to lead the pack. He appears to be running primarily for name recognition, which may help in the next election cycle.

One of my favorite candidates is former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

Coupled with the fact that he is a former U.S. attorney, he is articulate and tough.

At his announcement of his candidacy, Christie ripped into Trump with humor and sharp barbs. Few political observers think he can win the nomination, but he has the ability to cause some damage to Trump.

While all of these announced candidates are running around Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona and Georgia,

eSantis, Pence, Haley, Scott, Ramaswamy?

Who can take out Trump?

Trump is sitting back and thinking, the more the merrier. In the coming weeks there will be more entrants into the presidential horse race, which will make him even happier. The latest polls show him with a wide lead over his nearest rival, DeSantis. In recent weeks, DeSantis has seen a drop in his support due to some of his very unpopular actions in Florida.

Is it possible Trump could lose his party’s nomination? In politics, anything can happen. He faces two indictments (so far), in New York and Florida, which would sink almost any other candidate. But his continuing popularity among Republicans could keep him viable as a candidate, even one who’s been indicted.

And it’s possible that even if he’s not the eventual nominee, Trump will run anyway. He may be willing to burn the Republican house down, even if he’s in leg irons.

For now, it’s the Davids against Goliath, and Goliath is looking hard to topple.

Jerry Kremer was an Assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years.

He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? jkremer@liherald.com.

Column writing through hell and high water

’ve written my column through hell and high water. To be specific, I wrote my heart out after 9/11, grieving with so many readers who lost loved ones in the towers. I scribbled my way through blackouts, epic blizzards, hurricanes and, for three years, the pandemic.

I wrote about how to sleep better and eat better and find friends and keep friends.

Sometimes an idea landed on the page full blown, and sometimes it’s been a struggle to compose a cogent piece. I spent my RANDI 750 words in wildKREISS ly different ways, from a tribute to a courageous teacher friend going through chemotherapy to a send-up of the muchreviled New York State Department of Motor Vehicles, to one column many years ago in which I advertised for a prom date for my daughter. (She was in on the joke.).

My work has been personal. I have

written about my children’s lives, their mitzvahs and their missteps. My breast cancer. My husband’s heart surgeries. I struggled for days trying to find just the right words to honor my parents when they died. In some ways the column has been a running history of our times in our Long Island communities. After all, don’t we share the same lives and dreams, worry about the same threats to our mother Earth and hope for a safer world for our kids?

Many of my columns have suggested or reviewed books, the other love in my life. In return, many of you have pitched books my way that turned out to be thrilling and illuminating.

As politics got nasty and toxic in recent years, I jumped in, wanting to use my 750 words a week to rally support for our democracy, women’s rights, LGBTQ rights and laws that ensure equality for every community and every human being. I think these were words well spent, although at times the backlash has been fierce. That’s what opinion columns are for: to stir the pot,

A

open up the debate and disagree without getting too creepy.

When I was lucky enough to travel, I wrote to you from places as far-flung as Mumbai, the Maldives, Japan, Norway, Komodo Island, Normandy, Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Dubai. The first question I asked when booking a trip was, “Will there be Wi-Fi?” Over the decades, I had one official week off per year, the end-of-year edition of the Heralds, when we publish special editorial pages. I consider the obligation to turn in a column every week, on deadline (most times), a sacred privilege and a joy. Mine used to be considered a “humor” column, and I miss that, but the world is only intermittently funny these days.

Maybe you can tell: I love newspapering. So it is with some sadness that I write today to tell you that I am taking a two-month leave starting next week.

My husband, my Donnie, is facing a serious medical challenge, and I want to be there for him 100 percent. I hope to see him through it, help him get healthy

nd now a break, so I can focus on Donnie’s health.

So we’ll rerun some favorites.

and strong again, and come back to this page with fresh ideas, good news and renewed focus.

Over the next few weeks, we’ve decided to revisit some winning columns from the past 20 years, and hope they still offer a laugh or an insight or a reason to write an angry letter. I did briefly consider using ChatGPT to write my column while I’m away, but I’d hate to find out that I can be replaced by an app that’s writing fake college essays for a living.

I am keeping a journal of this time, and if you’d like to stay in touch, please write to my email below and I’ll share some of what I’m writing on our medical adventure. I wish we were off on a Hawaiian Islands fling. Or a return to Komodo Island, even with the monstrous, salivating dragons. I’d even settle for the North Seas cruise where the waves were 20 feet high and the sun didn’t shine for 14 days.

This turn of events is not what I would have expected or wished for in our lives, but it is what has been given us at this time.

Wish us luck.

Don’t let our map of history disappear

“H

istory is not the past, but a map of the past,” historian Henry Glassie once said, “drawn from a particular point of view, to be useful to the modern traveler.”

We explore that map through collections of stories, drawings and photographs. Later, through moving images and even elaborate recreations on the silver screen. Yet no matter how advanced our mapmaking skills of history have become, there is not a single plot point or directional as effective in truly connecting us with history than directly interacting with those who were there.

That’s why we are so grateful for efforts like the UJA-Federation’s Witness Project.

Similar to other efforts with variations on the same name, the UJA started the Witness Project five years ago, as an effort to tell stories from the Holocaust and World War II directly from the source: those who witnessed it.

As part of a recent featured exhibit and film, “The Ties that Bind Us,” at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, the Witness Project showcased its efforts to tell stories directly to high school students in twice-monthly small group meetings where each has a chance to interact with

Another private energy company, Jerry?

To the Editor: As former Assemblyman Jerry Kremer writes, “The PSEG love affair is over” (June 1-7). There is no prospect of LIPA continuing to contract management of our electrical system to PSEG. But Kremer is wrong to suggest that after the breakup, Long Island should get back out there and seek a relationship with a different private company.

Our current arrangement, in which a public utility (LIPA) outsources management to a private corporation (PSEG), is a unicorn found nowhere else, because it’s unworkable. PSEG wastes tens of millions of dollars a year, and gave us high electric bills, substandard service, and the lowest customer satisfaction in its class.

But the problem is bigger than one under perfor ming company.

The incentives of outsourcing are all wrong. PSEG’s incentive is to

someone who experienced the horrors of the genocide, and later the triumphs of the period when it ended.

One of the witnesses who took part in the project is Fred Zeilberger, who was ordered to stack bodies of fellow prisoners like firewood at a makeshift concentration camp in Latvia. He was just 14, and was one of just 27 Jewish prisoners to survive that camp, out of 1,000 who ultimately ended up there.

“I was working every day,” Zeilberger recounted. “If you didn’t work, you didn’t survive.”

Some might question why we, as a society, spend so much time focused on history, when we have the present — and the future — to deal with. But that’s the thing.

You can’t understand the present or prepare for the future without exploring the past. That means the bad, the good. The horrific, the triumphant. There is no room for filters, only for an honest assessment of what we, as a society, have cobbled together over the years, decades and centuries.

And yes, a lot of our history will make us quite disappointed in our ancestors. We may even feel terrible about what happened, even though we personally did not do any of those things.

No one, of course, wants to feel bad.

But a little bit of guilt is far different than the pain and suffering so many others experienced before us. And if feeling bad helps us better understand the plight of those who came before us, it’s a small price to pay.

It’s an oft-repeated quote, so often that it could be argued that it’s cliché. But George Santayana was right: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Remembering the past might not ensure that it won’t be repeated, but it’s the best defense we have for breaking the cycles of pain and anguish that fill our history books.

Our darkest period in modern history is, by far, the Holocaust. Every story from this time couldn’t be more important. But as each year ticks by — as the Holocaust rapidly approaches the century mark — it’s vital that we keep listening. We keep learning. We keep seeking.

A map might make our travels easier by pointing the way, but it doesn’t simply make them easy. There are many obstacles blocking our way from the bright future we all want, and it’s important that we look at our own societal map — past, present and future — to ensure that we find our way.

opinions

s

erving as a police officer in the New York City Police Department and the police departments of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for 22 years, I saw firsthand the effectiveness of the “broken windows” model of policing. This theory on policing suggests that visible signs of crime and disorder encourage further crime and disorder — especially serious crimes.

The theory proposes that having police enforce CHristopHer minor crimes, such as graffiti, Carini public drinking, trespassing and fare evasion, will create an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. This model proved effective in New York City, when the city was transformed from the murder capital of the country in the 1990s to record low crime rates in the 2000s.

Albany’s soft-on-crime approach, with

cashless bail and the “Raise the Age” statute, has broken the windows of our community, and it’s our responsibility as elected officials to fix these windows.

Although the Town of Hempstead doesn’t have its own police force, we do have hardworking CSEA Local 880 employees who know how to get the job done.

The Town of Hempstead will be doing our part to help restore quality of life by tackling local community issues such as graffiti and illegal advertisements — and Supervisor Don Clavin and I created a Quality-of-Life Task Force whose sole responsibility will be to right these wrongs. By actively targeting minor offenses and keeping our township clean and pristine, we are taking a proactive step to discourage further illegal activity.

Since my days as a civic leader, I have battled these very same quality-of-life problems that deteriorate neighborhoods and bring down home values. I brought this initiative with me to the town, and formed a graffiti task force to quickly eradicate any reported graffiti. Capitaliz-

a

special task force will rein in graffiti and keep the town clean and pristine.

Letters serve shareholders, which it does well, posting impressive profits. It also does well for itself, with big executive salaries and bonus packages.

It’s the same with other private utility companies. National Grid tried holding New York hostage by halting all new gas hookups unless it got a new pipeline, bringing local development to a standstill and damaging our economy. The company pursued its own interests at the expense of the public’s, and didn’t back down until the state imposed a $36 million fine and threatened to yank its operating license. Then National Grid had the chutzpah to turn around and push for a rate hike.

Putting ratepayers first would mean lower bills, shorter outages, and better service. Serving the public interest would mean faster ramp-up of renewables, and giving local voices a say in planning and oversight. Outsourced private management isn’t designed to deliver these things. T hat’s why, instead of getting enmeshed with another private company after PSEG, LIPA should switch to full public power, and manage the system for the benefit of Long Islanders.

LISA TYSON Executive director, Long Island Progressive Coalition Massapequa

ing on this, I partnered with Clavin and the Town Board in expanding this task force to protect the quality of life in our township.

While we continue to fight against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s attempt to seize control over local zoning, the town will also fight illegal signs, overgrowth on public land, littered roadways, messy parking lots and, of course, graffiti. The task force is not limited to land and streets maintained by the town; it will also target signs on utility poles, and will not be hindered by bureaucratic red tape.

Low-level crimes blight our community, and by not holding criminals accountable, we’re pretending that these crimes don’t matter. We need proper leadership in Albany to do its part by equipping law enforcement with the resources needed to go after low-level crimes. Policies like cashless bail and “Raise the Age” only encourage this behavior, and we’re starting to see an increase in crimes such as graffiti at town parks.

Hateful graffiti was recently found at

The outdoor season is the noisy-aircraft season To the Editor: There are only a few short months during which we who live on Long Island can enjoy being outdoors, riding bikes, taking walks, sitting in the backyard, gardening and eating outside.

And we are bombarded by the sound of jets taking off from Kennedy Airport every 60 to 90 seconds.

The scream of the engines is a health threat. It’s a proven fact that excess noise impacts hearing; raises blood pressure, stress, anxiety and depression; and can lead to cardiovascular problems.

Can’t air traffic controllers shoot these aircraft out over the Atlantic Ocean until they reach significant height, and then turn them back over urban areas, rather than creating havoc with our lives in Rockville Centre, Lynbrook, Malverne and other communities that are in path of the takeoff patterns?

There is a Port Authority noise control number where you can lodge a complaint about the intolerable, brutal noise blasts.

Call (800) 225-1071 and say something. If enough of us call, perhaps the P.A. will do something to let us enjoy our lives in the summertime while paying monumentally high taxes to do so. We deserve some peace and quiet.

JIM PAYMAR Rockville Centre

a park in Seaford. While the drawings and handwriting were crude and childish, the message it tried to perpetuate was one of intolerance. The town was swift to remove the graffiti, but it’s not uncommon for the act to be a repeat offense. There is no fear of repercussion, and that empowers people to confidently scrawl messages of hate.

The town will continue to do its best to remove illegal signs and graffiti — especially those that infringe on the town’s zero-tolerance policy regarding hatred of any form — but sometimes the effort feels like it’s one step forward, two steps back. This needs to change.

We all want the same thing: safe, affordable and scenic neighborhoods in which to live, work and raise our families. It is my mission to keep the Town of Hempstead on this track, and I’m proud that our Quality-of-Life Task Force will continue to beautify a new area every day. We’re doing our part to fix the broken windows, but Albany would make this mission a whole lot easier if its leaders held criminals accountable.
