In honor of Madison Milio, a 9-year-old girl who died last December of a type of cancer that attacks the brain stem, known as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, the Nassau County-based nonprofit Mission Helping Hands will hold a carnival in Franklin Square to raise money for a foundation named for her, the Mighty Madison DIPG Research and Awareness
Fund. The carnival, scheduled for Saturday, from noon to 8 p.m. at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel, at 984 Stewart Place in Franklin Square, will feature games, live music, and food and merchandise provided by local vendors such as T and F Pork Store and Italian Delicatessen of Franklin Square. All of the proceeds raised at the event will be donated to Madison’s fund, which is managed by her mother, Kristen, who works for the Sewan-
haka Central High School District, as well as a charity for Mary Ruchalski of Rockville Centre, who also died of cancer. DIPG, which typically occurs in children, manifests as a rapidly progressing brain tumor in an area of the brain stem that controls the body’s vital functions, such as breathing, blood pressure and heart rate. The cancer attacks the nerves in the brain stem, causing degeneration of Continued on page 9

Business grows, remains dedicated to F.S. rtraverso@liherald.com
After moving from China to Nassau County a decade ago and building a successful operation at their Franklin Square location at 700 Franklin Avenue that opened in 2016, the owner and operator duo of Tranquility Foot Spa and Salt Cave launched another location in Levittown on July 8. Angela Cui, the owner of the foot spa and salt cave company, worked as an accountant in China before she moved 10 years ago to the United States. After she grew fond of the U.S. during a vacation here years earlier, she decided to leave China for the U.S. in search of more space and freedom and in pursuit of a new life. Cui, who has lived in Elmont for six years and has a six-year-old son, came to the U.S. when she was pregnant because she wanted her son to have a quality education. Before this, Cui had a successful career in a family-run business in sales and marketing in an industrial management company. While Cui ran a larger business in China with her husband, her dream has always been to own her own small business. The China native started her entrepreneurial dream in the U.S. when she opened a business smaller than Tranquility Foot Spa and Salt Cave before opening the Franklin Square location in June
2016. Since then, Cui has achieved her dream: the Franklin Square location has been open for six years and currently hosts over 1,000 clients regularly. In June 2019, the company opened its first salt cave, which Cui said promotes health and wellness, at the Franklin Square spa. The benefits of dry salt air, which Cui said is more powerful than moist air, are considered to be driven by the negativity charged ions in salt, which the company says improves health and mood. “Inhaling particles may reduce inflammation and mucus in the lungs, improving respiratory conditions such as asthma, allergies, bronchitis, sinus congestion, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease COPD,” the Photo courtesy of Tranquility Foot Spa and Salt Cave small business explained in a ThE FRAnklin SquARE location offers yoga courses inside its salt cave along with its spa services. statement.

Veteran, community leader gifted brand new F-150 By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com
Elmont resident and U.S. military veteran Dennis Burgos was surprised at his home on July 14 by the New York Islanders and Ford, who unveiled to him a brand new Ford F-150 pickup truck donated to Burgos to honor him for his service in the Marine Corps and his work as a community leader. “This is our way of saying thank you for being such a great community leader and thank you for helping our world be a better place,” said John Billard, the chairman of Tri-State Ford dealerships, before Burgos was presented with the truck. The donation, made by the New York Islanders, the Islanders Children’s Foundation and Ford, was part of the Built Ford Tough Military Tribute that serves local veterans. “Without our freedom and liberty we’re nothing, and you put yourself on the line for two tours,” Billard said, thanking Burgos for his service in Afghanistan as well as the Indian Ocean. Burgos, who began serving in the military when he was 18, is currently a police officer in the emergency service unit of the NYPD. The Elmont resident also fundraises for boxing gyms in both Brooklyn and Staten Island that serve children of all ages, something Burgos was lauded for by Billard. After embracing Billard and Islanders

BuRgOS, whO wAS at first confused by the huge crowd outside his Elmont home on July 14, grew overjoyed as he walked towards his new Ford F-150. Co-Owner Jon Ledecky outside his home, Burgos walked towards his brand new truck in shock. “The Islanders are the best team in sports,” Burgos said, overjoyed sitting in
the driver’s seat of his new F-150. “This is unreal,” he added as his family hopped inside the truck with him to take photos. Burgos, who is a season ticket holder at the UBS Arena, also received a hockey
bag full of Islanders memorabilia as part of the tribute, which also included an appearance by the team’s mascot, Sparky the Dragon. Francelia Burgos, Dennis’ wife, said he was shocked because the veteran and community leader would never expect to be awarded like this, and that he has always puts others before himself. “She’s always stuck by me,” Burgos said of his wife, who nominated him for the tribute and kept it secret from him for a month. Francelia invited many friends and family to the surprise outside their home. “Veterans mean a great deal to us,” Billard said, according to a statement released by the Islanders. Billard also explained that the Built Ford Tough Military Tribute was a priority for Ford. “We are proud to partner with Ford to shine a spotlight and honor service members, their families and veterans like Dennis, who has sacrificed so much for our country,” Ledecky said outside the Elmont home, alongside various other Islanders officials, when the F-150 was presented to Burgos. “We celebrate our heroes with the Ford military tribute at every home game. It’s the least we can do for these brave men and women who protect our freedoms every day,” Ledecky, who emphasized that that giving back to veterans is a key value of the Islanders, said.

News brief
Mangano ordered to pay $10M in restitution Former Nassau County executive Ed Mangano is on the hook for $10.6 million he will have to deliver to a pair of Connecticut insurance companies. U.S. District Cour t judge Joan Azrack ordered the restitution last week in connection with his bribery conviction from earlier this year that will cost him the next 12 years behind bars. In that case, a jury found Mangano used his position as county executive to influence the Town of Oyster Bay to guarantee loans for a concessionaire in exchange for several bribes, including a $450,000 “no-show” job for his wife Linda, along with free meals, vacations, luxury chairs, and flooring for the couple’s bedroom, as well as a $7,500 watch for one of their sons. “The trial evidence was unambiguous that Ed Mangano had zero involvement in these loans and was unaware of their existence,” said Mangano’s attorney, Kevin Keating, in a statement. “We look forward to addressing those issues on appeal. Mangano is scheduled to begin his prison sentence July 27, unless the
judge allows him to remain free pending his appeal. His wife also seeks to remain free while she appears a 15-month sentence for lying to the FBI. Mangano will be required to pay $25 every three months while he is in jail — accounting for just $1,200 if the 60-yearold serves the full sentence — and 10 percent of his gross monthly income after he is released. Prosecutors claim loans were made with two insurance companies — Phoenix Life Insurance and PHL Variable — by Purchase-based NDH Capital Corp. Both claimed to the court they lost $10 million after the loans defaulted. A jury found Mangano pushed for $20 million in loans for Harendra Singh, a longtime Mangano friend and a former restaurateur. Singh became the star witness for the prosecution after pleading guilty to bribery, conspiracy and tax evasion. He testified he had lavished the Manganos with gifts in exchange for favored treatment by the county executive.

Elmont ElEmEntary scHools will roll out full-day pre-kindergarten for the first time in 2022-23, while Franklin Square elementary schools are adding a class to their existing all-day learning program.
All-day learning bolsters education, supports families continuEd from front pagE allowing teachers to delve a little deeper and providing students with more opportunities for structured play,” Bloom said, adding that teachers in the district’s pre-K have created new curriculum projects since the spring. Full-day pre-K in Elmont schools was set in motion when the 2022-23 budget that included funding for all-day learning passed in May and has been a priority for the parents of students in Elmont for decades. “These children are going to be ready for kindergarten with no problems now,” said Claudine Hall, president of the Jamaica Square Improvement League, a civic organization that serves the youth of Elmont. Hall applauded the Elmont school board for implementing the program while noting that parents have been demanding full-day pre-K since the 1990s and 2000s. During the remainder of the summer, Helisse Palmore, Elmont district’s pre-K supervisor, will be working closely with the district’s pre-K instructional team and with parents preparing to roll out the program. The district has also planned family orientation sessions that will explain the program and what the first few months of its implementation will look like, according to Jaime. Full-day pre-K is set to start on time in September in Elmont schools, but the program will begin one week after K-6 students start classes in an effort to provide quality professional development sessions for the entire pre-K staff, Jaime said. In addition to the extra day of full-day classes at Franklin Square schools, one half-day class will also be added in the morning as well as one half-day class in the evening at Washington Street School for all families in the district, regardless of the student’s zoned home school. Bloom said he plans to further expand upon the pre-K program in Franklin
Square schools. “We hope to be able to expand on this relationship and offer even more seats in the future,” the superintendent said.
Huge benefits for students, community Hall said that one of the main assets of full-day pre-K classes is allowing Elmont parents to go to work while their children are at school. Additionally, pre-K reduces the need to send their children to childcare facilities, which often charge high fees that Elmont residents cannot afford, Hall said. “I think it’s amazing that finally these parents can get a little bit of relief,” Hall said. While full-day pre-K will likely benefit families in Elmont and Franklin Square, school officials maintain that students are the main beneficiaries of the programs. “I feel that a child can never get enough education; learning is lifelong,” Hall said, adding that many residents believe that four hours of learning during a half-day of school is often inadequate for students. Jaime said that research has proven that access to quality early education can make significant contributions to the cognitive, physical, social and emotional development of students. The Elmont school board president also said that the district believes early language acquisition and literacy at the pre-K level will reduce intervention costs when students progress to higher grades. Jaime stressed that the key goal of the program is to create well-rounded students who are able to actively contribute to society when they grow up. “They will build a strong foundation, both academically and socially, will become productive, compassionate members of our community and will hopefully stay in Elmont and raise their future families,” Jaime said of the long-term goals of full-day pre-K.

This extra nitrogen typically comes from poorly maintained septic systems and cesspools, which leak into the soil and corrupt rivers and other waterways that feed the sound, scientists have said. Fertilizer runoff is another major issue, exacerbated by what are otherwise picturesque golf courses near the water, that typically require thousands of tons of fertilizer. But with just a little effort, Long Island could easily identify — and maybe even eliminate — some of these environmental threats. At least according to Michelle Lapinel McAllister, programs director

Understanding what causes nitrogen buildups, and implementing methods of prevention can go a long way in protecting not only swimmers and shellfish-eaters, but also the sound itself. “Any efforts to reduce nitrogen help,” McAllister said, “from maintaining septic systems and cesspools so that they’re not leaking into the ground and making their way into the water ways, reducing or eliminating fertilizer use, picking up after your pet after they go to the bathroom outside, (and) upgrading treatment plants. “Any of those are going to be a benefit to reducing nitrogen from entering the waterways.”

Growing good eats in the neighborhood Cornell Cooperative Extension wants to expand local agriculture By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com
F
resh food is important not only to health, but also the local economy — something leaders of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County are committed to making available to everyone. The cooperative extension, with its main office at Eisenhower Park and a farm located on Merrick Avenue, focuses heavily on selling goods produced by locals all over Long Island. It even runs farmers market every Saturdays through October in Eisenhower Park, kicking off the latest season just a couple weeks ago. The farmers market is a part of the cooperative extension’s food systems and agriculture program, something Cornell University upstate has championed through this century-old nonprofit located in every county and every New York City, with more than 50 offices statewide. Working with county, state and federal officials, the Cornell Cooperative Extension also leads programs involving 4-H, as well as allowing young people to explore areas in science, technology, engineering, and math. The cooperative extension also focuses on health, wellness and nutrition, offering education workshops and information about food-related topics. The organization also spends time on natural resources, providing knowledge on sustainable energy and horticulture, like that at the East Meadow farm, creating gardens that teach people how to properly grow their own goods. The cooperative extension also runs a mobile market — a van of fresh produce services — that makes its round to senior citizen and community centers. And then there’s the Taste NY market, located at the Long Island Welcome Center, between exits 51 and 52 on the eastbound side of the Long Island Expressway. The market opened in 2016, selling goods from vendors all over Long Island and New York state. It’s “an extension of Cornell University, so obviously, we’re really proud of that, to take the research and work that’s been done at the university level and put it to work for the residents here in Nassau County,” said Greg Sandor, the executive director of Nassau’s cooperative extension. Established in 1914, the Nassau cooperative extension has always had a farm stand, which moved to Eisenhower Park in 2020. “There were a couple of guests vendors and it was small, but it was a great way to get in touch with the community,” said Jennifer Hochuli, who coordinates the office’s food systems and agriculture. “It was an all-hands-on-deck with staffing.” And that’s a big need in Nassau, Sandor said — build a local sustainable food system. “In Eisenhower Park we’re trying to create more access to fresh grown produce,” he said. “Eisenhower Park has high visibility, and you’ve got all different

walks of life coming around here on weekends. It’s a great mix of community members, and you never know why they’re swinging by Eisenhower.” The farmers market accepts cash, credit/debit, along with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards and coupons from those who are a part of the Farmers Market Nutrition Program. “Everybody should have access to fresh food, it’s so good for you and your body,” Hochuli said. “Supporting locally grown food, locally grown produce, as well as local businesses — it’s good for the economy, it’s good for your area, and at the end of the day, I like to think that it’ll come back and help you out.” Dara Myers is spending her first year at the farmers market. She sells fresh juices and tea from her store, Jolistic Organics Health Store in Baldwin, which opened last month.

July 23 carnival will support DIPG research
‘Mighty Madison’
Madison earned the nickname “Mighty Madison” by being so courageous throughout her experience, Kristen explained. For a long time, she would receive radiation treatment every day at 7 a.m., and then one of her grandfathers would take her to school. “She was so tough, and she never complained,” her mother said. “As long as she could smile, before that was taken away from her, she

Many agree that research into DIPG and its treatment does not receive substantial funding. In fact, according to the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation, the federal government allocates only 4 percent of the National Cancer Institute’s annual budget to childhood cancer research, and only a sliver of this is designated to DIPG research. Despite the low levels of funding and the public perception that the cancer is rare, Kristen stressed that DIPG impacts hundreds of children each year. “It’s not rare; it’s terrible,” she said. Kristen said that events like the carnival that raise awareness as well as fundraising efforts are necessary to help children and families struggling with DIPG. “If any of the money in Madison’s fund can be used to help expand a child’s life or save a life in the future . . .,” she said, “that’s what our main goal is.”

those everyday functions. Although DIPG is incurable, and Madison was initially given nine to 11 months to live in 2019, she went on to live for 32 months, although she spent 15 months in a coma. She underwent 30 rounds of radiation therapy, and also took part in a T-cell clinical trial in Washington, D.C., in August 2019. But just 10 days after receiving 40 million T-cells, she began having trouble breathing, was soon intubated, and underwent a tracheostomy in September 2019. During a second round of radiation in 2020, Madison lapsed into a coma, and she died last December. The purpose of this weekend’s carnival is to amplify Madison’s story and to raise awareness of DIPG. Victoria Farrell, the executive vice president of Mission Helping Hands, which raises funds for causes that are often overlooked, said the organization hopes the event will lead to better understanding of the disease. “This will hopefully educate people and parents,” Farrell said, “showing people that something so small can be something so big, like what happened to Madison.” “Anything that we can do to let people know who Madison was and what DIPG is is the best thing,” her mother said, adding that she believes promoting awareness is the most important aspect of helping others with DIPG.

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — July 21, 2022
Madison taught many people, including adults, about how to approach life each day, Kristen said. “She opened so many peoples’ eyes to what’s important in life because of the way she was handling life.” Her mother summed up her philosophy in one sentence: “Don’t sweat the small stuff and make memories when you can.” Madison, her mother said, used to say that she was famous. Diagnosed in first grade, she grew popular in Massapequa, where the Milios live. With a street named after her in Massapequa and the creation of her own merchandise, some of which will be sold at the carnival, Madison has indeed become famous, Kristen said. “She’s impacted many lives, and now we hope to extend that and impact lives and save lives,” she said.

STEPPING OUT

glides onto the ice
By Karen Bloom
irque du Soleil is acclaimed for pushing the boundaries of performance. Now they’re doing it on the ice, blending circus arts and ice skating. Their latest tour, which arrives at UBS Arena in Elmont this weekend — Thursday, July 21 through Sunday, 24 — is a first for Cirque du Soleil, which has been creating spectacles for over 40 years. “Crystal,” as the show is called, takes audiences on a journey into a whimsical frozen playground where skating mingles with acrobatics and aerial feats. The narrative follows the heroine — Crystal — who feels misunderstood and out of sync with herself, in this coming-of-age tale from Cirque’s creative team, developed by Shana Carroll and Sébastien Soldevila. “There are many layers within it,” Artistic Director Rob Tannion says. “It’s not an outcome where everything is happy, but it’s fulfilling in that we go on a journey with her. There’s a beautiful message within the show and at the same time, visually stunning, and if you’re looking to be thrilled by the acrobatics and technical precision of the skaters, you will be.” It was a challenging production for the company, which began rehearsing in 2017, to translate the acrobats’ movements from their usual surface to the ice, while adding skaters into the mix. “Our goal was to engage the Cirque people and cross over and bring in skating of all forms. And at the same time maintain our style,” says Tannion. “We were going from our world on a hard floor to bring the same skill set on ice. And we did that to great success. We’ve been able to combine multiple genres and put on a show that has a lot of life and breadth.” All with Cirque du Soleil’s trademark aesthetic: Extravagant visuals, costuming and a lively soundtrack that seamlessly blends popular music like Béyonce’s ‘Halo,’ U2’s ‘Beautiful Day’ and Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ with Cirque’s signature sound. The 43-person cast features 19 skaters, including former Olympians and extreme skaters. “There’s much to enjoy on
multiple levels,” Tannion adds. No matter how clichéd it sounds, he says,” it’s a show for everyone.” Audiences experience what Tannion describes as many “hold your breath” moments throughout the two-and-halfhours: pole and trapeze acts, juggling, singles and pairs figure skating, fastpaced speed skating, and even some hockey action. “It all comes together with what Cirque does so well, playing with the sensation of risk,” says Tannion. “It’s a really action-packed, visually-packed, emotion-packed couple of hours.” For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit UBSArena.com.
Kids can make, view and talk about art all summer long with four Indigenous artists at Long Island Children’s Museum. Toyuskanash, the Algonquin word for ‘bridges,’ brings together artists from the Shinnecock Nation to explore how they bridge traditional and contemporary culture and bridge gaps in history and knowledge with surrounding communities. The exhibit showcases the artwork of fine art photographer Jeremy Dennis, painter and tradition bearer Denise Silva-Dennis, beadwork appliqué and ribbon work artist Tohanash Tarrant and painter David Bunn Martine. Each artist’s creative process is highlighted during two-week residencies including artist-led workshops and daily activities for visitors led by museum staff members. Through Sunday, Sept. 4. Long Island Children’s Museum, Museum Row, Garden City. For more information, call (516) 224-5800 or visit LICM.org.
Music of Impressionism Join Maestro David Bernard and his virtuoso musicians for an art-inspired performance at Nassau County Museum of Art. They present works by Debussy, Ravel, Franck and other French composers who were part of the Impressionist group, often creating compositions with specific paintings in mind. The lush orchestral sound of these beloved works, performed outdoors (or in the tent if the weather does not cooperate) are the perfect complement to the colorful paintings inside the building. Also take the time to explore ‘Other Worlds Than This,’ the just-opened exhibition, and, of course, stroll the grounds, including the Sculpture Garden.

Returning to LIIFE on the big screen Bellmore Movies hosts 25th year of Long Island International Film Expo By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com
A
tight-knit community, of neighbors supporting neighbors means everything to independent filmmakers. That feeling was abundantly clear last week at the Bellmore Movies & Showplace with the Long Island International Film Expo. Now in its 25th year, the expo returned to the 107-year-old cinema on Bellmore’s Pettit Avenue on July 13, having already established itself as a well-respected festival in the independent film community. The expo — more commonly known as LIIFE — was co-created by Debra Markowitz and Henry Stampfel from the Long Island Film/TV Foundation, along with Stampfel’s wife, Anne. The Stampfels own Bellmore Movies as well as a sister theater, Malverne Cinema. Nassau County officials sponsor the expo each year, prompting Markowitz to thank not only County Executive Bruce Blakeman, but also Richard Kessel from the county’s Industrial Development Agency. “We’re so proud of what we put together,” Markowitz said, “and how it’s grown.” The expo featured more than 120 films — some produced by Long Island filmmakers — as well as many more from across the country and around world. Films and documentaries of all genres were shown through July 16. The expo has been hosted at various venues since its inception at Hofstra University, Nassau Community College, and even Malverne Cinema on Hempstead Avenue. For the past 15 years — with the exception of 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic — Bellmore Movies has hosted the expo. First opened in 1915 at 222 Pettit Ave., Bellmore Movies boasts a single screen with a stage, proving a cozy venue for filmmakers to interact with audiences during post-screening Q-and-As. Directly north of the Bellmore Long Island Railroad station, film buffs travel in from New York City and other parts of the island just to attend, Markowitz said. The expo also attracts celebrities — actors from films and television series who are not only supporters of LIIFE, but filmmakers themselves. Lukas Hassel, best known for his role as Elias VanDyke on NBC’s “The Blacklist,” was in attendance this year, speaking about the importance of movie festivals like LIIFE. “Filmmaking is hard,” he said. “It’s one thing if you have a studio backing you with $200 million and celebrity actors, but independent filmmaking is really hard. It’s all about reaching out to your colleagues, to your friends, to your community. This festival — the Long Island International Film Expo — is an example of how important it is to build a community.” For filmmakers like Michael Scully — who created the dramedy “Montauk 77” with his 15-year-old daughter Michayla — being back on Long Island was the perfect way to wrap up nearly a year’s worth of

BELLmORE mOViEs & Showplace hosted the 25th year of its Long Island International Film Expo, attracting filmmakers and audiences from across Nassau County and beyond.
How you can watch ‘montauk 77’ ‘Montauk 77,’ a dramatic comedy by Michael and Michayla Scully, was picked up by Gravitas Ventures, an independent film distributor, and will be released Aug. 30 through video on demand as well as streaming platforms like iTunes and Amazon Prime Video. To learn more about the film that was featured at the recent Long Island International Film Expo, visit Montauk77Film.com. Anyone interested in submitting a film to be considered for next year’s festival, visit LongIslandFilm.com. HENRy AND ANNE Stampfel, owners of the Bellmore Movies & Showplace — and co-creators of the Long Island International Film Expo — said they were grateful to see the event come together once again. festivals. Scully, who lives in Levittown, says he’s been making short films for nearly 20 years, and was encouraged by his daughter to take the plunge into creating a feature film — which they ended up writing and starring in together. “Montauk 77” — featuring Michael as a “down-on-his-luck” ride-hailing driver, and Michayla has his snarky teenaged passenger — premiered last October at the New York Long Island Film Festival in Lindenhurst. “What I’ve learned over the last year is that you need communities like this to reach out and put these events together,” Scully said. “They’re very important to young artists. And older artists like myself.” Filming during the pandemic was a challenge, Scully noted, but it was his neighbors and friends that helped bring the film together. “We had a lot of community members come out, businesses saying, ‘Sure you
can shoot it at our diner, you can shoot it at our bank, you can shoot it at our town library,’” he said. “We’re here for the 25th anniversary — back home on the island. It means so much for us — and our film — to be here.” The Stampfels, who say they work nearly every day of the year to plan the expo, were grateful to host it once again in a building many moviegoers have come to love. “It’s not an official historic site, but it is to us,” Henry said. “This takes an entire year. When we’re done with this, we take a break for like 30 days, and then we go back to plan on our next one. This is the 25th year, and we hope to go another 25 years.”
DEBRA mARkOwitz, cO-cREAtOR of the Long Island International Film Expo, said she was thankful for the support the program receives annually from sponsors.

Ever had an electrical circuit pop because of an overloaded demand on your system? Perhaps it happened after your purchase of a new, upgraded electronic device. Yes, you remember you were told to install it on its own circuit. And, you had every intention of doing so yet never got around to it, as everything was working just fine. Besides, you never use more than a few machines at the same time. But as luck would have it, on the very evening you were operating on a tight deadline, your room was suddenly pitched into total darkness. Your first thought: it’s an electrical outage. You pray you haven’t lost too much data. Then you notice that lights are on in another part of the house. Maybe a circuit breaker has popped? You search the electrical panel, flip the breaker back on and return to work. You’ve just settled in when pop, you’re in total darkness again. Damn! You forgot to turn off your printer before you went back to work. Annoyed, you think, what a pain this
circuit breaker is! But then you remember what a circuit breaker is designed to do. It’s a safety device, protecting you from fire or damage that would occur if you continued to operate on overload. Now you know what to do. Time to install another circuit breaker so your electrical system is not overburdened. You call in an electrician; problem resolved! Oh, if only it were that easy to fix an overtaxed circuit in your personal life! Because if you’re living a chronically stressed and strained life, your circuit is undoubtedly overloaded, leading to inda bur nout in impor tant domains of your life. If you didn’t have as much to do, you wouldn’t be so stressed by a new request. If you weren’t so stressed, you wouldn’t be so anxious about an upcoming event. If you weren’t so anxious, you wouldn’t feel so irritable
with your partner’s snide remark. If you weren’t so irritable with your par tner, you wouldn’t have this pounding headache. Get the picture? Too bad we don’t have circuit breakers built into our system to alert us of overload. Or, do we? Could be, you’re just too busy to pay attention to them!

Circuit Breakers:Designed to Protect throats; we need to be kinder or we’ll ruin our relationship!” Gradually, unwittingly, many of us have overloaded our lives. When we receive warning signals alerting us to danger, we ignore them. Yet we ignore them at our own peril, as warning signals, like circuit breakers, are designed to protect us from serious damage. Flipping back the breaker without changing anything about how you live is a way to seriously damage your mind, body, and relationships. I hope you’re wise enough not to let that happen. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author, specializes in helping people overcome procrastination and debilitating anxiety and fear.

Ask The Architect
ence started when I began working with panels in 1977. The new president, Jimmy Carter, had solar panels installed on the White House, and I naively thought we were moving toward energy independence after the terrible years of the early-’70s oil embargo, with long lines at gas pumps. But it didn’t last. Carter’s suconte eeper cessor, President Ronald Reagan, had the solar panels removed because of a roof leak, and that ended the recognition of alternate-energy sources for many years. There’s a picture in my office of me standing with Gov. George Pataki after I gave him a tour of the first residential solar panel installation on Long Island. It became part of the Lilco energy program, in which you could get a $1,000 reduction on your annual electric bill, and the state rebate was signed into law at that event. Because I was there at the beginning, I have a foundation of belief in solar, but my realistic vantage point may not sit well with solar consumers or sellers. I was the one who sat in meetings with Lilco research-and-development personnel, and sold the idea that solar investment made sense, because they could buy generated power for less than 10 cents on the dollar from people’s solar panels and still sell it back for $1 and not have to spend tons of money on new power plants. Let the people generate the power for them. They loved the idea when I explained it that day. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize they’re not generating power for their own homes. The inverter that comes with your system sends the power from your roof right back on to the power grid, to be distributed back through your meter for you to pay for what your system produced for free. The maximum discount is still the $1,000 off, so that’s why it takes many years to pay for an average system, which costs around $18,000. If you lease, then the rebate that can reduce the cost by as much as $5,000 goes directly to the leasing company, not you. Nice profit up front for the leasing company, while you accumulate the savings over a much longer time period. Even though more burdened systems, like California and Massachusetts utilities, have policies that rebate and encourage utilizing your own battery backup power in an essentially off-the-grid manner that allows the utility to avoid major power failures, your local utility, so far, has no such program that I’m aware of. At $8,000 to $10,000 for each pack, I have yet to see one installed locally. Good luck!

W
ith all the media hype about sharks these days, our thoughts went to the late Peter Benchley, who wrote many books during his life, but who will be best remembered for his best-seller, “Jaws,” about a series of shark attacks in the small beach town of Amity, whose residents became terrified of the big fish. The film also frightened audiences around the world, becoming the blockbuster summer movie of 1975. Benchley, who had quit his job as a speechwriter for JAMEs President Lyndon when he BERnsTEin Johnson was in his late 20s, became a millionaire after “Jaws” was published and became a movie starring Roy Scheider as Sheriff Martin Brody, a good guy who wants to warn the town about the roving shark, and Murray Hamilton as Mayor Larry Vaughn, who worries more about losing tourist revenue than about sharks. Movie theaters were packed and sharks were the talk of that long-ago summer. Benchley became something of
T
a folk hero. The book sold more than 10 million copies. What did Benchley think? He regretted writing the book. In 2000, in an interview with the Animal Attack Files, Benchley said, “What I now know, which wasn’t known when I wrote ‘Jaws,’ is that there is no such thing as a rogue shark which develops a taste for human flesh.” “No one appreciates how vulnerable they are to destruction,” he added. Benchley’s shark-hunter character, Quint, is thought to have been based on the career of Frank Mundus, a Montauk-based charter captain who killed whales merely for chum and harpooned sharks, a practice that is outlawed today. In the last few years of his life, Mundus became a shark conservationist. So did Benchley, who spent his later years trying to persuade people that sharks weren’t necessarily out to get them, that they had a purpose in nature, and that, most of all, shark attacks were extremely rare, despite all the television broadcasts about them, which often borrowed the theme from “Jaws.” In another interview, Benchley said,
H
“For all their power, they are amazingly fragile. Sharks are no longer the villains. They are the victims.” According to Ocearch, a nonprofit that is dedicated to researching great white sharks and other large sea predators, the odds of dying in a shark attack are 1 in 3.7 million. Hundreds of sharks are killed each year, according to the organization. Christopher Paparo, manager of the school of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the State University at Stony Brook, noted that there are more than 1,000 fatal car accidents in New York state per year. There is a better chance of being injured in an auto accident, Paparo said, than of even seeing a shark. Still, all the experts warn that sharks are not to be taken lightly. Beachgoers are warned to swim only in waters where there is a lifeguard, to always swim with others, to avoid wearing shiny objects in the water that may attract sharks and, if they see bunker, which sharks eat, to stay out of the water until the bunker pass. “I wouldn’t like to be bit by a shark,” Paparo said.
e later learned that there’s no such thing as a rogue humanseeking shark.
There have been reports of several shark bites and sightings off Nassau County’s South Shore. The television and radio reports tend toward the dramatic. In a paper in 2020 by Janey Sellars, a marine biology graduate from Exeter University, the media take a big hit for their coverage of sharks. “With recent technological advances,” Sellars wrote, “the media is now able to reach more people and influence the relationship (between human and sharks) by framing stories and twisting the truth to give sharks a bad name.” “Once regarded as a valuable and elusive creature, they are now perceived as ocean monsters,” Sellars added. “It is an issue that has only increased with time and is likely to continue as human and shark populations continue to overlap.” Benchley, who was the first-ever host of “Shark Week,” Discovery Channel’s celebration of the big fish, may have put it best: “The shark in an updated ‘Jaws’ could not be the villain; it would have to be written as the victim, for worldwide, sharks are much more the oppressed than the oppressors.” James Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

We are drifting so far from the founders’ ideals
he screams and cursing coming from the Oval Office on Dec. 18, 2020, were the sound track to an attempted coup. According to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson and other witnesses who have testified before the Jan. 6 congressional committee, various fringe Trump supporters, including Sydney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Flynn, gathered to encourage the soon-to-be former president to keep contesting the election results, maybe commandeer the voting RAnDi machines, maybe KREiss declare a national emergency. Trump was all ears. White House aides, some of whom have testified, were appalled by the spectacle of screaming, foul language and bizarre conspiracy theories bouncing off the walls. Alcohol flowed. That was Dec. 18. A few hours later, when the meeting broke up, Trump tweeted about an upcoming gathering at the Capitol on Jan. 6 that promised to be “wild.” According to published reports and testimony at the Jan. 6 hearings, Giuliani had to be escort-
ed out the White House to be sure he actually left. Apparently when the president breaks all the rules, it gives others permission to exceed their power, cross boundaries, pander to violent fringe groups and traffic in disinformation. The Trump presidency was rotten, and the stench came from the top. I think about the disgrace of it all, the absence of decorum and respect for the office of the president. I think, too, of the principled, high-minded individuals who have walked those halls and sat at the president’s desk. Trump and his extremist pals have sullied the space in an unprecedented way. If their delusional and illegal suggestions had been taken, it could have brought down our government. It certainly has changed our America. I think about all this from an Airbnb house in Maine, down the block from a small cemetery dating back to 1792. That was 16 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence; the Revolutionary War had ended just nine years earlier. The Constitutional Convention took place in the summer of 1787, so in 1792, when people were settled in this area, the Con-
W
stitution was a freshly minted document, only 5 years old. This area feels like early America, plain clapboard houses flying the Stars and Stripes, simple plantings and rock walls and stone boundaries. It isn’t difficult at all to walk down this road and imagine how it looked over 200 years ago. I feel connected here to all that is basic and good about our beginnings. It didn’t take long, however, for news of the “unhinged” meeting in the Trump White House in December 2020, to reach me. We’re on vacation, but I can’t tune out the Jan. 6 hearings, which are investigating the attempted insurrection. It feels like a civic responsibility. As witnesses come forward and speak to the misinformation, erratic behavior and unprincipled tactics of Trump’s coterie, I realize it isn’t just the rules and laws of democracy that are being undone — it is its very spirit. The people Trump brought into the Oval Office to advise him in December 2020 are the misfits, the pardoned felons, the purveyors of disproved conspiracy theories. They are the dregs, and they sat where, over time, Churchill and de Gaulle
hat might’ve happened on Dec. 18, 2020, if we’d been attacked?
and popes and the king and queen of England and Gorbachev and Rabin once sat. Other presidents sat there, too, some better than others, but no one as amoral and undignified as Trump. That the likes of Giuliani and Powell and Flynn could have access to a president is unconscionable. That they could proffer unproven conspiracy theories and advocate against a legitimately elected new president speaks to the unraveling of our democracy. The “unhinged” Dec. 18 meeting in the Oval Office went on for hours, according to witnesses. I wonder what would have happened if, while theories of Venezuelan interference in the election were being discussed, our country had been attacked. What if a missile had taken out New York City or a cyberattack had brought down our electrical grid? What if our water supplies had been poisoned or a killer bug had been let loose in the subways? What if ? Who would have made the decisions that would lead us in a moment of crisis? Who would have inspired the faith of the people and demonstrated the gravitas and good sense to find a path forward? That Dec. 18 meeting was gross and shocking and dangerous in so many ways. I hope the Biden team cleaned the carpets and aired out the room. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Films we thank for LIIFE as we know it
road trip in a yellow Volkswagen Microbus so a young girl, played by Abigail Breslin, could compete in a beauty pageant. The plight of a man looking for his wife’s murderer, while unable to make long-term memories, in a story told in reverse, starring Guy Pearce. What it was like to grow up in Texas, a story told over nine years, allowing its young protagonist, played by Ellar Coltrane, to literally grow up in front of the cameras. Racial tensions at a fictional Ivy League school exposed, thanks to an extraordinary, can’t-miss performance by Tessa Thompson. We’ve seen, or at least heard of, all these films — “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Memento,” “Boyhood,” “Dear White People.” They have joined countless others that have not only provided a little bit of escape from our daily lives, but have stayed with us. And maybe even made us think. But none of these films would have even been part of the conversation if it weren’t for film festivals. It’s not Cannes or Sundance, but the Long Island International Film Festival — or LIIFE, as we all know it — is one of hundreds of such festivals across the
country and around the world that give filmmakers from all walks of life a chance to be seen. And maybe even to be remembered. And it’s that very reason why it’s important that we continue to support such festivals, not just with some of our county dollars, but maybe a few of our own, too. You don’t have to look any further than Michael and Michayla Scully, the fatherdaughter team that pieced together the dramedy “Montauk 77” with nothing more than $30,000 and a dream. They put together a small crew to film the pair as a ridehail driver and young teenaged passenger at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and put together a film that delighted audiences at Bellmore Movies & Showplace last week. Their dream is to have their film available on a streaming service near you (and they will) — something that wouldn’t even be remotely possible if it weren’t for film festivals like LIIFE. American film studios produce several hundred movies every year, but when you include independent filmmakers who have nowhere near the financial resources of these behemoths, we get well over a thousand — maybe two. Each year. Film festivals like LIIFE are labors of
love, with the only real reward to put productions on the screen we may not otherwise see. The hard work of people like Debra Markowitz and both Henry and Anne Stampfel can’t be — and shouldn’t be — ignored. When LIIFE started 25 years ago, most filmmakers had to choose between making a run for theaters or going directly to DVD. Today the distribution model is wide, from streaming to cable to just about anything. And it’s exciting. In fact, one might say, why do we need film festivals when someone with something worth seeing could turn to something like YouTube to get exposure on their own? But it’s really not that easy. Even after the long hours, days, weeks and months that went into making a film are over, their creators are tasked with finding venue after venue to showcase their work, hoping they can poke their head above so many others seeking the same thing. LIIFE is over for this year, but in just a few weeks, Markowitz and the Stampfels will be back at it again, planning for next year. And they’ll be waiting for you — maybe with the next “Blair Witch Project.” Or the next “Precious.” Or maybe even the next “Montauk 77.”

letters Voter fraud? Really? To the Editor: I took offense at Ronald Rosenberg’s opinion piece “Yes, voter fraud does exist” (June 30-July 6). I worked at the Board of Elections for over a decade, including years in the absentee ballot department. I can count with two fingers the instances of voter fraud in that time. Eight states allow voting by mail, two states allow counties to opt in and nine states allow small elections to be conducted by mail. Oregon, a state in which the only way to vote is by mail, had 75 percent of its registered voters vote in 2020. Out of the millions of votes cast in Oregon, four instances of fraud were reported. In contrast, New York had a pathetic 63 percent turnout, lower than the national average. Every 18-year-old American citizen has the right to vote. The Supreme Court just made it easier to carry a concealed weapon, saying that a citizen shouldn’t have to give a reason to carry a gun. Yet Rosenberg believes people should need a reason to vote by mail? Further, ballot harvesting is not “a thing.” It’s just not. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani had his license to practice law suspended for falsely claiming there was voter fraud in 2020. Domin-
ion sued Fox News and others for lying about its machines when there was no fraud. And a president convinced millions of Americans that there was widespread voter fraud, resulting in an insurrection at our Capitol and a transfer of power that ended in violence for the first time in our history. Since 2020, dozens of states have changed their election laws to suppress or corrupt votes
— all seemingly finding solutions to problems that don’t exist. And the coup continues. Next year, the Supreme Court will hear a case that could give state legislatures the power to decide who wins elections, taking away the court’s ability to rule on such conflicts. In other words, state legislatures would decide who wins an election, not the voters.

everal years ago, the board of directors of Nassau University Medical Center approved spending nearly $8 million to build new executive offices on the 19th floor of the hospital, with unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline. Today, that infamous decision serves as a reminder that a hospital doesn’t exist to serve politicians and executives. Everything we do must be focused on the needs of our patients, their families, and employees. NUMC is Long Island’s only Level One trauma cenMatthew J. ter, and with that comes BRUDeRMaN distinction a responsibility to serve the most diverse patient population in our area. Our goal must be to ensure that everyone who walks through the doors of our facility is treated with the dignity, respect and care they deserve. No matter what community or background patients come from, they should have confidence that NUMC will provide them with the best possible care. Everyone should be a VIP. For too long the hospital’s reputation suffered because of poor planning and decision-making. Our fantastic doctors
and exceptional staff have long needed better support. County Executive Bruce Blakeman selected me not just to lead NUMC but also to fix this critically important institution for our community. Together with CEO Dr. Anthony Boutin and our outstanding team, we’re doing it. We’re putting people and patients first again. In just the past three months, we’ve begun plotting a new course for the hospital. We’ve reopened Long Island’s only multichamber hyperbaric unit to treat burn victims, carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness — the bends. The unit can also be used for wound management, bone infections, and radiation tissue damage. It was closed for years due to red tape, but was recertified, and it is again available 24/7 for emergency use as well as regular patient treatment. Community members have asked for a cardiac catheterization lab at the hospital for some time now, and we should have some exciting news on that front soon. Cardiac catheterization services are critically important to our ability to handle emergency conditions and save lives. Their addition will be a significant benefit for the community. NUMC cares for patients regardless of their ability to pay, but that doesn’t mean
i
n just the past three months, the hospital has begun plotting a new course.

Which prayers are protected? To the Editor: On June 27, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects the right of a school coach to pray in public on an athletic field during the school day in the presence of students — members of the team he coaches. Writing for the majority — the court’s six conservative members — Justice Neil M. Gorsuch asserted that the First Amendment offers that protection. “respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse republic — whether those expressions take place in a sanctuary or on a field, and whether they mani-
the hospital can’t have cutting-edge technology and treatment. In May, NUMC hired neurosurgeon Dr. David Weintraub, formerly of Northwell Health, who will head a new department of neurosciences. This will be a major growth area for NUMC, expanding our capabilities to include first-class treatments for spine, brain and nerve conditions. Also, in the coming weeks, we’ll begin renovating a number of key patient and visitor-facing spaces that have long needed upgrading. We are redesigning our emergency room entrance to improve access for ambulances. We’re going to do a better job of communicating with residents about our services and preventive care as well. Starting this summer, we’ll be launching a social media campaign in both English and Spanish that will involve every department at the hospital to inform the public about living healthier. We’ve named a new interim chief medical officer, Dr. Grace Ting, whose more than 30 years of experience will help improve patient care and better advocate for our physicians’ needs. We’re also putting a new emphasis on our extraordinary employees, working to attract outstanding new talent, and recognizing the care provided by our staff every day. Our
new employee recognition program begins this month. Another way we are putting people first is by ensuring the hospital’s longterm financial sustainability, with a comprehensive review of all financial standards and practices. In just its first week, our review uncovered more than $12 million in outstanding revenue the county owed the hospital. County Executive Blakeman promptly presented us with a check that cut our previous budget deficit significantly. We will announce a new financial management plan shortly. Our reviews have also uncovered potential fraud that led to the arrest of a former employee. While this kind of abuse is reprehensible, it underscored the need for a totally new approach to running the hospital. We launched a national search for a new chief financial officer, and will be making new efforts to increase revenue. A sound financial future for NUMC will mean more resources to reinvest in the hospital, its facilities, services and personnel. It’s an exciting time for us. With priorities that truly put patients and their families first, we’re going to make NUMC an even better, more modern medical center that people can trust for generations to come. Matthew J. Bruderman is the chairman of the Nassau University Medical Center board of directors.

fest through the spoken word or a bowed head,” he wrote. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissent, wrote that in such a situation, many students would undoubtedly feel pressure not only to listen to the coach’s prayers, but in some cases feel compelled to act as if they are in total agreement with his words. The coach in the case, kennedy v. Bremerton School District, is a devout Christian. Because of his insistence on continuing his public prayers, the Bremerton, Washington, public school where he coached did not renew his contract, and his termination as a coach ultimately led to his case being heard by the Supreme Court. Would the court have agreed to hear the case if the coach had been a Muslim, intoning Muslim prayers on the athletic field? A Hindu, intoning Hindu prayers on the athletic field? A Buddhist? A Jain? A Sikh? A member of the Baha’i faith? A Druze? A follower of Confucius? A believer in Shintoism? A member of the Native American Church? I wonder. MIrIAM LEVINE HELBOk Bronx
