D’Esposito claims victory over Gillen in congressional race

By KYlE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

Anthony D’Esposito says he’s going to Washington. But as the clock struck midnight, turning Election Day into Wednesday, his Democratic opponent, Laura Gillen, wasn’t quite ready to concede the 4th Congressional District race.

“We’re going to wait until every vote is counted,” Gillen told supporters in Freeport late Tuesday night. “It’s an extremely close race. There’s still a lot of ballots out there.”

Yet as she spoke those words, unofficial election returns from Nassau County showed D’Esposito leading Gillen by 8,000 votes with 87 percent of precincts reporting. A half-hour later, the county completed the counting, increasing D’Esposito’s lead to 10,000 votes.

It was 51.9 percent for D’Eposito out of the more than 266,000 votes counted, compared with Gillen’s 48.1 percent.

Motown and other classics performed live

Jazz singer Cody Childs and his guitarist take the stage at Elomnt Memorial Library

By ANA BORRUTO aborruto@liherald.com

Jazz singer Cody Childs and guitarist Gai Phakdeephon filled the room with nostalgia during “A Musical Journey through the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s and the present” on Nov. 4 at Elmont Memorial Library.

The two performers brought the crowd at the library’s theatre back in time with jazz, R&B, soul and Motown classics spanning decades.

Childs and Phakdeephon, who both reside in Queens, said they take their show to various libraries, senior centers, restaurants and other venues.

Childs said the most gratifying part for him is connecting with the audience when singing these popular hits they know and love.

“I grew up watching the Ed Sullivan Show back in the 1960s, and kids got to see older performers, whether it was Bing Crosby or Ella Fitzgerald,” Childs said. “We saw all that — today you don’t see that. I was always drawn to that music, and the Motown sound, of course. I was fortunate as a kid to hear all these different sounds.”

When he attended Canarsie High School in Brooklyn, Childs joined the chorus and grew up with blues and jazz influences from his father, who he described as a “Joe Williams and B.B. King-type.”

At the time, he said he didn’t appreciate that kind of music, but gradually developed a fondness for the genre.

As a teenager in the 1970s, he watched the film, “Lady Sings the Blues,” starring Diana Ross, which got him interested in Billie Holiday’s music, he said.

When Childs was 18, he said he listened to jazz

singer Johnny Hartman on a live radio show in the early 80s and immediately became hooked.

He attended the City College of New York and enrolled in jazz vocal courses taught by esteemed jazz vocalist, Sheila Jordan.

In 2015, Childs performed in an R&B jazz band called “The Ladies of Soul,” but the pandemic caused challenges and the band eventually broke up. Following the split, Childs began looking for a guitarist for acoustic shows.

“I always wanted to play with a guitar player — in smaller gigs I need a smaller sort of sound,” he said. “I contacted Gai, and he had a jazz, soul and R&B sound, and that’s what I liked.”

Phakdeephon, who goes by the stage name “Gai P,” said he grew up a music lover and it started with his older brother, who was a big fan of 1970s rock n’ roll.

“He had a guitar at home and I was sneaking into his room to play it when he was away,” Phakdeephon said. “That’s how I started.”

His guitar playing evolved from rock n’ roll to blues style, and he said his partnership with Childs was a perfect match.

When he is on stage, Phakdeephon said he loves watching the audience’s reactions and seeing them transport themselves to the past in real time.

“Sometimes a couple starts dancing, that’s the best,” Phakdeephon said. “The purpose when we are performing is just wanting the audience to be happy. The music we are doing, that’s the music we love already. When we perform in front of the public’s eyes, they are into it with us.”

Vietnam War vet honored at Yankees game

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — November 10, 2022

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

Vietnam War veteran Lawrence Schnabel, 72, of Rockville Centre, was treated to a big surprise during a game between the Yankees and the Pittsburgh Pirates at Yankee Stadium on Sept. 21. During the seventhinning stretch, Schnabel was escorted out onto the field and introduced with a publicaddress announcement, honored for his service.

“It was a big surprise,” Schnabel said. “I was out on the field, and they showed me on the big screen and on TV. It was awesome.”

Schnabel has five children, Brian, Meghan D’Angelo, Caitlin, Paul and Casey, and two grandchildren, Caeleigh Kourie and Siena D’Angelo. His kids arranged for him to be honored at the game, in what turned out to be a multi-year plan. “My children put in a request for it, and it took about three years to go through all the paperwork,” he explained. “It’s a very nice thing that the Yankees do.

Every game, in the seventh LARRy ScHNABEL SAID inning, they honor veterans.”

The short ceremony was especially meaningful for Schnabel, who’s a lifelong Yankees fan. Not only did the Yankees dominate the Pirates, 14-2, but it was also the first time he had ever been publicly honored for his service.

Schnabel, a member of American Legion Post 246 for 10 years, was born in Franklin Square, and when he was 5 his family moved to Rockville Centre, where he has lived for 68 years. He served in Vietnam for two years, having been drafted into the Army. “When I was on the ground it was just a difficult time,” he recalled, “especially because it was a long way from home.”

The Army supported an orphanage in Vietnam, a mile from where Schnabel was stationed. “There were a lot of Vietnamese war babies and a lot of American babies, and we used to bring over some wood to help with fencing,” he recounted. “We had a bunch of guys with younger kids, brothers and sisters at home, and they’d have their parents send over some clothes and we’d give them to the orphans. Once or twice a week, we’d bring over food from the mess hall after lunch. We were very proud of that.”

He recalled the reception he received when he came home from the war. “You didn’t have any support when you came back,” Schnabel said. “It was a hard time for Vietnam veterans coming home.” His wife, Regina, was happy that he was honored for his service on such a big stage in the Bronx. “He wasn’t given the rightful appreciation and welcome home when he came back from Vietnam,” she said, “and on Sept. 21, he got the right welcome home.”

While his experience in the war and after he returned was difficult, Schnabel said, he is proud that he was able to serve his country. “I was proud to defend our country and do my job,” he said.

After his service, he worked for the technology company Avaya for 40 years. He met Regina in 1979, and they have been married for 41 years.

After retiring in 2009, Schnabel spent time with his wife and grandchildren, but had a series of heart problems. He suffered a heart attack, underwent triple bypass surgery and finally required a heart transplant in 2014.

“It was a long five years from the time everything started to the time we finally got a new heart,” he said.

he wanted more veterans to be recognized for their service.

SEPt. 21 wAS an emotional day for Vietnam War veteran and lifelong Yankees fan Lawrence Schnabel, who was publicly honored for the first time during a Yankees-Pirates game.

Eight and a half years after the transplant, he said he has been in good health ever since. “The wife has been taking good care of me,” Schnabel said.

He is happy, he said, that there is more appreciation and support for veterans these days. “People realize what you did, and there’s a lot more respect from people now,” he said. He plans to attend the Rockville Centre Veterans Day parade, and the ceremony at the recreation center.

He will turn 73 on Nov. 12, the day afterward.

It is always important to honor those who served, Schnabel said — and not just the men. “With Veterans Day coming up, you see the men all wear the hats from World War II, Vietnam and Korea, but the women, you never see,” he said. “They’re a very unrecognized group, and they deserve a lot more recognition. Even today there are a lot of women in the armed services, and it’s important to honor everybody who served.”

A defeat at Elmont in the Nassau Conference II football regular-season finale Oct. 29 cost South Side a chance to open the playoffs at home, but not a chance at redemption.

The fifth-seeded Cyclones, led by junior quarterback Owen West, made the most of a return trip to Elmont exactly one week later, capturing last Saturday’s first-round matchup, 27-21, to earn their fourth trip to the semifinals in five seasons.

West had a rushing touchdown in each half and zipped a 17-yard scoring strike to junior Michael Aiello midway through the third quarter to put South Side (5-4) ahead for good. It advances to face six-time defending county champion and top-seeded Garden City at Hofstra this Friday at 4 p.m.

“We put last week behind us as fast as we could and focused on getting to Hofstra,” Cyclones head coach Phil Onesto said. “We were a little shorthanded and the kids knew everyone had to step up. They definitely did.”

South Side was still without its leading rusher, junior Jack Lozito, who was also leading Nassau when he injured an ankle last month, and also missing junior wideout/safety Michael Melkonian (quad), who had all three of its touchdowns in the loss at Elmont.

The Spartans, who defeated South Side, 24-20, on the final day of the regular season to surge up the power rankings to the No. 4 seed, finished 5-4.

“We weren’t disciplined today and had so many unnecessary penalties because we didn’t keep our cool,” Elmont head coach Jay Hegi said. “Usually there’s a few plays that decide a close game. I can think of about 15.”

After a back-and-forth, evenly played first half, the turning point came midway through the third quarter when South Side senior Christian Agosto partially blocked a punt around midfield to provide West & Co. with unexpected quality field position.

Senior Jack Schaefer recovered at the Elmont 41 and three plays later, West hit a wide-open Aiello in stride on a post pat-

“That was a play we’ve been working on all year and picked the perfect time to hit it,” Onesto said. “We haven’t been great on special teams this season, but in the second half we had two huge moments.”

Early in the fourth quarter, South Side capitalized on golden field position when it started possession at the Elmont 5 thanks to a botched snap of a punt attempt. West then followed a pile of linemen for a 1-yard touchdown and a 27-14 cushion that proved necessary since the Spartans responded

quickly.

“Owen really showcased what he can do today, both in the passing game and running game,” Onesto said of West, who had a 26-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Senior quarterback Kimani Lewis had a hand in two of Elmont’s touchdowns, including an 81-yard kickoff return after West’s first score. Lewis also hooked up with Justus Nathaniel for a 29-yard score with 3:48 left in the fourth quarter.

South Side senior Danyae Northington (36 yards) and Elmont junior Isaiah Davis 16) traded first-quarter touchdown runs.

Police crack down on unsafe cars on the road mwilson@liherald.com

The last thing any driver wants is an obstructed view out of their car windows.

But it’s the same for the Nassau County Police Department as well — except it’s not looking out, but instead looking in.

The department has launched Operation Safe Streets, targeting illegal license plates — those that are obstructed or defaced — along with improperly tinted windows and passengers not wearing seatbelts.

The initiative continues through the end of the year, and includes both education and enforcement. But it’s not just about safety, according to Nassau police commissioner Patrick Ryder — these violations typically lead to other criminal activity.

Safe Streets uses officers from a number of police units targeting drivers who are misusing their license plates or have tinted windows that don’t allow officers to see inside. Many will be singled out through various checkpoints set up around the county.

“We know that distracted driving is still the number one cause for accidents and death on our roads,” Ryder told reporters during a news conference last week in Eisenhower Park. “But there is a criminal element that is out there defrauding and taking advantage of the system, committing crimes by using different

NASSAu COuNtY pOLICe ran a safety checkpoint on Merrick Avenue near Eisenhower Park last week as part of its new Operation Safe Streets program. The initiative aims to crack down on illegal license plates, tinted windows, and expired registrations. types of plates.”

This initiative comes at a time where more people are out and about preparing for the holidays.

“As we are approaching the time of year when people are going out there spending money, they’re shopping. They have gifts. There will be a lot of cars on the road,” Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman said. “We are going to fight as hard as we can to make sure that all of our communities are safe. That our residential communities are safe. That our busi-

ness districts are safe.”

Paper license plates are a much bigger problem than many might realize, Ryder said. Although typically given to a new car buyer at the dealership before they can get their more permanent plates from the state, there are those who try to copy the plates, change the expiration date, and then sell them online.

“So, until our officers stop that car, we don’t know it’s a fake plate,” Ryder said.

“In the meantime, they’re running red lights. They’re going through (license

plate readers) after they’ve committed crimes, and we can’t detect it because it doesn’t come back to the right vehicle.”

Nassau police made more than 1,000 arrests last year for fraudulent license plates, more than triple from 2020. Traffic tickets are on the rise, too. There were 73,000 summonses written in 2021. So far this year, that number is already at 123,000.

“I think that we should be concentrating on all the people who are going around with out-of-state plates, with stolen license plates, with tinted windows that make everybody feel unsafe — especially our police officers,” Blakeman said. “And I really want to crack down because when we’ve done this in the past, we’ve been able to confiscate a lot of illegal license plates, we’ve gotten illegal weapons and controlled substances that we’ve confiscated.”

Nassau police also say they’ve taken nearly 800 guns off the road in the past two years.

“Those car stops are vital,” Ryder said, when it comes to “doing the investigation, asking the right questions when they interview the driver, and allowing us to get into that car.”

The commissioner also mentioned cracking down on uninspected an unregistered vehicles, which he added “90 percent of the time, they are also uninsured.”

Depending on the violation, a warning or a summons could be issued, and fines may be increased during the Operation Safe Streets initiative.

LIJ Medical Center is in the top 10% of hospitals nationally for oncology, according to U.S. News & World Report.

Our doctors are raising health by pioneering innovative approaches to cancer—from novel chemotherapy techniques to first-in-the-nation robotic mastectomies with minimal scarring.

Because when it comes to cancer, there’s no status quo. There’s only “how far can we go?”

Top businesspeople make a difference Nassau Council of Chamber of Commerce honors annual slate

By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com

W

ant to really get involved with the community? That’s easy — join your local chamber of commerce.

“Chambers,” said Fran Camarano Jr. “We get involved in a nonprofit organization, support our communities and businesses. Why do we do this? Well, we’re part of the community, right?’

Camarano is quite active in the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce. But at the Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury on Oct. 28, Camarano was filling a different role — president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce. The group — which represents more than 40 chambers from across the county — gathered once again to honor its businesspersons of the year.

Those winners included Manny Alvarez, president of Kolstein’s in Baldwin, who continues to open the world of stringed instruments to so many musicians. And Sharon Davis-Edwards, founder and chief executive of S.J. Edwards Inc., in Merrick, who has provided financial and employee benefits services to businesses for more than 30 years. And Iyna Bort Caruso, who leads Sweet Lime Ink Content Studio, bringing her Emmy Award-winning writing and content creation work to Rockville Centre and beyond.

But it’s more than simply running a business, Camarano said. True success comes with being active in the community. Like Nicole Eliopoulos. She fulfilled her dream to run her own State Farm Insurance Agency in Valley Stream, yet she still finds time to not only raise four children with her husband, but stay active in their lives — from their school PTAs, to even coaching some of their sport teams.

“The idea of grassroots efforts from the ground up being the best way to support communities — and businesses supporting their communities — is the way to go,” Camarano said. “But the truth is, the commitment we make is not just to the chamber. What you want to do to support the businesses is to support each other.”

Other winners include Lauren Maslov, the third-generation owner of Pietro’s restaurant in East Meadow. Dale Davids, a home solar dealer — and Afghanistan veteran — in Elmont. Patricia McColley, a program manager for the community and population health team at Northwell Health out of Franklin Square. And Jorge Martinez, vice president of the J&A Group — which provides commercial maintenance out of Freeport.

Then there’s Luis Lopez, an immigrant from El Salvador who now runs Morgan Delicatessen in Glen Cove with his wife.

Steve Adler, who came out of retirement to take on marketing and sales for Servpro of Garden City and Hempstead.

And Christine Sweeney, branch manager and director for Webster Bank Levittown Banking Center.

There, according to the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, he became a second lieutenant, earning the Army Commendation Medal while deployed in Afghanistan.

Patty McColley first joined Northwell Health in 2012 as a patient experience manager for South Shore University Hospital, and has since led a team focused on improving the overall health and education of communities served by the medical group through everything from Covid-19 to monkeypox through LIJ Valley Stream Hospital.

And businesses were winners as well

— like Stellina Ristorante, run by renowned chef Fabrizio Facchini and the Milana family in Oyster Bay. “Nassau County is back, and we’re open for business,” County Executive Bruce Blakeman told the crowd at Crest Hollow. “Nassau County is committed to partnering with each and every one of the chambers so that every community can thrive, and every downtown business district can do well with no community left behind.”

According to the KW Cares website, since 2002, more than $55 million in grants have been distributed to Keller Williams associates in need.

Linda Chen, a real estate broker and operating principal at Keller Williams Legendary, said when disaster strikes, KW Cares uses the reserves to send trucks out with necessary supplies to impacted areas.

When Hurricane Sandy struck in 2012, leaving thousands of people displaced and

vulnerable, KW Cares and market centers joined forces to provide food and shelter.

“We have to give back in order for people to thrive,” Chen said. “It’s about people first. When it’s about them, it just makes the brokers, the owners, come last.”

Giuseppe DiBartolo, a real estate salesperson for Keller Williams Legendary, said that he and the rest of the team enjoy being able to support those in need.

“It’s not done because we need to do it,” DiBartolo said. “It’s done because of the kindness of our own hearts. Everyone who comes in is doing it because they want to give back and any small donation is a bigger donation that’s ever given.

Whoever needs help, we’re there to help them. We are like family.”

Exit & Succession Planning for Business Owners

By AlexA AnderwkAvich On Thursday, Nov. 3, law firm Vishnick McGovern Milizio LLP and The NYBB Group held a free live webinar featuring Joseph G. Milizio, managing partner at Vishnick, McGovern and Milizio and Anthony Citrolo, founder of NYBB Group — a premium service merger and acquisition business sales firm — with Herald Inside LI host Michael Hinman, executive editor at Herald Community Newspapers.

“No one likes to think too much about the future, especially about their business,” Hinman said. “But in the next hour we will find out why planning ahead is crucial!”

Citrolo’s clients include privately held companies and family owned businesses and is CPA and a Certified Exit Planning Advisor (CEPA). Vishnick McGovern Milizio LLP has been named Best Law Firms in America by US News and World Report for 2022 and 2023.

Hinman jumped right into their expertise with a few questions, starting with the basics: when is the best time to start planning?

“The best time to start planning is the moment a client walks into my office and says I have a concept I would like to start a new business,” Milizio said.

He explained that if you plan from the

Determining the value of your business is an important part of the planning and succession process. There are also a number of steps that a business owner

can do to increase the value of their company.

Citrolo went on to define “value acceleration” and how it plays into the process of exit planning.

“If you are really planning your business properly and want to make sure your business has a value of x and you’re willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen,” Citrolo said. “You can do things to essentially grow that business and accelerate the value.”

For example when you need management and hire a team that increases your value, as well as spreading the customer base and even customer contracts which increase value because the customer has staying power. This plus a number of HR and legal issues that need to be dealt with all in time, increase the value of your business.

“Your business is evaluated by value drivers which either increase or decrease the value and you can see what you can do to enhance the value,” Citrolo said.

The webinar included vital information for business owners that could make a difference in the future. Making sure you are building your business efficiently can be done when you have the proper tools and guidance.

Rascals Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Famers are always in style

By Mary Malloy ock legends The Rascals are back on WHERE stage for the first time in four years.

Their Time Peace Tour 2022 rolls on WHEN — with a stop at NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Nov. 13 — featuring two • Sunday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m. of the group’s legendary original members: Felix • NYCB Theatre at Westbury, Cavaliere and Gene Cornish.

960 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury The group (formerly The Young Rascals) is best • For tickets, visit known for their string of smash hits during the TheTheatreAtWestbury.com, mid-to-late 1960s, including “Groovin,” “Good LiveNation.com, or call (516) Lovin’,” “A Beautiful Morning” and “People Got 247-5200 to Be Free.” (The tour is named after their 1968 Greatest Hits album.)

The Rascals were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been in New York because of Covid, but I travel here a lot to see friends and family,” says Cavaliere, the group’s keyboardist, vocalist and songwriter. “We’ve been in the area doing some private shows. Westbury is one of the last few places with a theater in the round. I’m happy that our music appeals to more than one generation. It’s a real treat seeing the some of the younger faces out there in the audience.”

Trained as a classical pianist at a young age — and fully intending to go into the medical field — Cavaliere formed a band called The Escorts during his college years at Syracuse University. That led him to play with Joey Dee & The Starliters (“The Peppermint Twist”) where he met Cornish and Eddie Brigati. The threesome eventually left to form The Young Rascals with jazz drummer Dino Danelli.

After a few months doing the New York club scene, Cavaliere and his bandmates caught the attention of promoter/manager Sid Bernstein with their high-energy set at Long Island’s elite club, The Barge on Shinnecock Bay in East Quogue. They soon signed a contract with Atlantic Records.

After topping the charts with hit after hit — and selling more than 30 million records worldwide — The Young Rascals disbanded in 1972, and the members went on to have successful solo careers. Cavaliere now calls Nashville, Tennessee, home, where he is collaborating and prolifically writing new material.

“This (tour) gives us another chance to play together,” Cornish adds, “and do it for the fans.”

A treat: Special guests Vanilla Fudge Vanilla Fudge, best known for their extended heavy rock arrangements including “You Keep Me Hangin’ On” and “Season of the Witch,” join The Rascals as special musical guests.

Vanilla Fudge has been cited as “one of the few American links between psychedelia and what soon became heavy metal.” The group is also known to have influenced other major bands such as The Nice, Deep Purple, Yes, Styx and Led Zeppelin.

“We’re excited to come back to Westbury,” says the band’s award-winning drummer, vocalist and songwriter Carmine Appice, who now resides in Florida. “It’s one of my favorite venues. We’ll include a lot of our popular hits, and I’ll probably do a drum solo.

The Rascals were like our mentors, and we’ve been friends for many years.”

The band is currently touring with three of its four original members: Appice, Mark Stein, Vince Martell, and Pete Bremy (who took over for Tim Bogert, who retired in 2009 and died 2021.)

‘Fiddler on the Roof’

Bartlett Sher and the team behind ‘South Pacific,’ ‘The King and I’ and 2017 Tony-winning Best Play ‘Oslo,’ bring a fresh and authentic vision to this beloved theatrical masterpiece. Featuring a talented cast, lavish orchestra, and stunning movement and dance from Israeli choreographer Hofesh Shechter, based on the original staging by Jerome Robbins, this production is an uplifting celebration that raises its cup to joy — to love — to life. Rich with musical hits everyone knows and loves, including ‘Tradition,’ ‘Sunrise, Sunset’ and ‘To Life (L’Chaim!),’ this heartwarming story never goes out of style.

Vanilla Fudge, special guest, is known for their extended rock versions of contemporary hit songs. Pictured from left are Carmine Appice (drums), Mark Stein (keyboard), Vinny Martell (guitar), and Pete Bremy (bass).

Some music defies categorization.

Such is the case with Toubab Krewe, the vibrant North Carolinabased instrumental powerhouse that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more.

This is a band that actively draws inspiration from whatever source floats into their purview, something they’ve exhibited in their half decade of heavy gigging — including regular appearances at major U.S. festivals like Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Rothbury and Wakarusa — and abroad at such legendary gatherings as Festival In The Desert in Mali.

Their globe-hopping propensity has made them an emerging headliner at their hometown’s famous Orange Peel, and a familiar face at similar venues nationwide. Whether on their own or collaborating with luminaries like the Last Poets’ Umar Bin Hassan or Uncle Earl’s Rayna Gellert, Toubab Krewe has already earned the attention and respect of a broad musical community.

Andy Lockwood talks college costs

By AlexA AnderwkAvich On Wednesday, Nov. 2, Lockwood College Prep and Inside Herald LI presented an hour-long webinar for the community entitled “How to Cut College Costs by 52.2% or More” — produced by RichnerLIVE — which aids college-parents on the rollercoaster ride of putting their children through upper education and its costs.

Host, Judy Goss, host of AWE’s luxury real estate show ‘Behind the Gates,’ former NBC and Fox contributor and QVC host, gave her opening remarks as a collegemom of twins, “My kids just graduated high school in June and started college; so I’ve been through all the ups and downs and the stress and the financial issues — all of the roller coaster moves that we had to get to college finally this year,” she said.

“And I’m happy to say that I’m here with someone today that will make that process a lot easier and less complicated and that is Andy Lockwood.”

Andy Lockwood is a college admissions counselor along with his wife Pearl, as well as best-selling author of ‘How to Negotiate Your Crappy Financial Aid’ and ‘Merit Aid Offer’ as well as three other books in the works. Together, the duo are the masterminds behind Lockwood College Prep which provides you with the tools you may need to get into your dream school, and for less.

The two have four children themselves.

However Lockwood saw the need for better college advisors and prep from his own

experiences going through law school.

“I didn’t choose my career,” the top college advisor said. “It’s almost like it found me. I went to law school and ended with over a hundred thousand dollars of debt.

Because of this horrible experience of high fees and debt, which is actually nothing compared to today, I went into this career.”

Goss introduced Lockwood, who had just finished up a busy time of early applications and deadlines, and jumped right into questions which yielded helpful tips and vital information from Lockwood.

“If you have a younger kid, early decision and early action deadlines are something to look forward to.” owner of Lockwood College prep said and kicked off the webinar with a piece of advice. “Here’s a pro tip: get everything done over the summer. That is my first valuable tip tonight” Having guidance during the intricate process of the application process can make all the difference. As parents send their oldest children to college for the first time, oftentimes they are both figuring out what to do as you go along and the reality is that many things have changed over the years and you might not know everything that is involved.

“If you feel overwhelmed, it’s not your fault.” Lockwood said regarding the complicated financial formulas that are often hard to decipher, with pages upon pages of regulations. “The good news is that there are ways to level the playing field.”

Goss also asked questions such as get-

ting into and what it takes to be accepted into a top college as well as the rundown on how financial aid and scholarships work.

“I thought you just fill out the FAFSA form and pay as much as you can,” Goss remarked towards the end of the webinar.

“I’m happy to hear that there are actually ways you can strategize this.”

It was a highly informative session which ended with a live Q&A from the audience via chat. Followed by an endscreen with information on how to book sessions with Lockwood College Prep.

“Our approach isn’t for everyone,” Lockwood said. “The child needs to be coachable and the parents need to be willing to take advice.”

WE GET YOUR SEWER AND DRAINS FLOWING AGAIN

ALFREDO’S CONSTRUCTION

Q. A building inspector noticed our air conditioning units while inspecting our deck, and said we need to file for a permit for it. He said it’s a simple permit, and an architect would know what to do. Our house was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. We have been through a lot, so we just want to get this last thing done. Can you explain what is needed?

A. After you started with permits for Sandy repair, which led to a permit for your deck, then electrical and plumbing permits, I suspect you thought you were done, but noooo! This has been a common issue in your municipality. They require a design professional, and the average person immediately sees dollar signs and gets nervous. onte eeper Your building inspector made it sound simple, and from an inspector’s point of view, at the end of the process, it is simple, but getting there is a little more complicated. While doing second floors and rear additions, one stumbling block to final sign-off includes things as minor as an air conditioning unit. The drawing of plans, retrieving the specification manual from the manufacturer to show energy use, sound output and safety testing make the task not so simple. Most people lose or throw away their manuals. Then, because you’re in a flood zone, you must have an elevation certificate and survey from a surveyor (another expense).

So it really isn’t so simple.

Then there are the construction drawings for the raised A.C. units to be above potential floodwaters.

I’ve seen many truly inventive ways to elevate the condenser unit, from stacked wooden crate towers to mini-deck platforms to concrete pedestals covered in decorative stone. We actually have to document the way they were constructed, which isn’t always so easy because the building code addresses only conventional construction, not artistic sculptures that look like someone has set up an air conditioning altar. The construction, no matter what it’s made of, has to have conventional anchorage, some kind of realistic foundation that the architect or engineer has to state is strong enough to resist being carried away in a flood, and that won’t accelerate the floodwaters to neighboring properties when water smacks up against it.

Another problem has been the progression of information, over time, about what design professionals have to note on the plans. Because the communication, shared with the property owner, is on an internet portal, when the examiner sends back a message about “demonstrating compliance with Section X” of the building codes, the client is left to wonder whether their professional really knows what they’re doing, since they apparently can’t even draw an air conditioning unit. Belittling the professional has made many architects and engineers choose not to do these A.C. unit plans. It would be much more helpful if communications included specifics, like an information sheet on standardized required notes, an explanation like the one I just gave, and acceptable anchorage and design heights to simplify the process. Good luck!

opINIoNS

he Federal Aviation Administration has just closed the comment period for the flying public regarding the size of airline passenger

seats.

They were focused on the wrong seats.

The FAA should have been looking at airplane loos. In-flight restrooms have become so small and cramped that they should be equipped with shoehorns.

In 1986, Congress passed legislation requiring the Department of Transportation to create and enforce regulations ensurRoNALD J. ing that people disabilities RoSENBERG with were treated without discrimination in a manner consistent with the safe operation of aircraft and trains. A key part of that task was to make sure airliners had restrooms that were large enough to accommodate disabled passengers.

There was a significant caveat, however. The rules focused only on wide-body aircraft. There was an assumption that the larger the aircraft, the longer the flights, the more pressing the need for facilities. This sly “carve-out” in aircraft standards meant that airlines suffered a

L

far smaller economic penalty by giving up several seats in order to make room for the wider restrooms. Single-aisle aircraft that carried fewer passengers and flew shorter routes were exempted from the regulation.

And now, in an era when jumbo jets like the 747 are being retired and smaller, more fuel-efficient, narrowbody jets are making a comeback, those restrooms can still be smaller than a phone booth. (Does anyone remember phone booths?)

One airline industry survey reported that narrow-body lavatories are often as much as 10 inches narrower than they were a decade ago.

The current generation of non-jumbos is so aerodynamically efficient that they can fly the same long-distance routes as 747s. These narrow-body aircraft are capable of international flights of thousands of miles. In the pursuit of efficiency, even many cockpit crews have been reduced, from three to two. Everything is now designed to be far more cost-effective for airlines facing woes ranging from staff shortages to soaring energy costs. That means using every inch of aircraft real estate. And that in turn has meant removing precious inches from the restrooms.

For those with special needs, this often

A

means not being able to go while going overseas. The issue has not gone unnoticed. One cabin-design firm called AirGo has proposed a unique triangular-shaped airline lavatory. The company claims that it gives passengers who have reduced mobility the ability to wheel in and safely shift from wheelchair to toilet.

Refusing to accept the status quo, disabled passengers filed suit several years ago, demanding that narrow-body aircraft be mandated to have restrooms they could access, and new federal rules will require at least one larger restroom per aircraft to accommodate them. The airlines aren’t happy, because in this era of Covid recovery, they claim the mandate has the potential to cost them billions of dollars in revenue as they remove seats to make room for the wider privy. In the meantime, fewer than 5 percent of U.S. commercial carriers’ narrow-body passenger aircraft have restrooms large enough to be accessible to people who need to use wheelchairs on board, according to Washington’s Government Accountability Office.

While the FAA requested public input on airline seats, the agency made it a point to say they’re not interested in whether you find current cabin accommo-

irlines show little concern for the comfort of those with special needs.

dations comfortable. They only wanted to hear about safety factors. “The FAA is not requesting comments regarding matters … such as how the dimensions of passenger seats might relate to passenger comfort or convenience,” the agency stated.

We can assume they believe the free market will define “comfort.”

An industry expert, Sebastien Weber, chief executive of Safran Aerosystems, told the Wall Street Journal several years ago, “On airplanes, it is all about how you use the real estate.” He should know. His California company builds toilets for aircraft.

It is a now cliché to lament the longlost golden days of aviation, when men arrived planeside in suits and fedoras and women were dressed to the nines. Today it’s cargo shorts and muscle shirts, and passengers who wear jackets and ties are viewed with smirks as flight attendants remind us that there is an extra charge for barely edible snacks. So we shouldn’t be surprised that airline restrooms are shrinking, our seats and amenities are considered commodities, and we are left to wonder if there will be room to go when we have to go.

Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Need a boost? Celebrate your micro-joys

ast week I wrote about the midterm elections, which may or may not be resolved by the time you read this. I acknowledged the stress many of us are feeling as democracy-as-we-know-it seems to be faltering. I suggested taking a galactic approach, finding comfort in our relative insignificance in the universe. After all, we are so small, and on the grand scales of time and space, politics is inconsequential.

How did that work for you? It worked for me for a while, along with deep breathing, and stepping up a self-care routine to RANDI battle the political KREISS blues. I stopped watching TV news.

I turned off news notifications on my phone, and I chose not to read the new dystopian novel by Celeste Ng, which I am sure is fine and literary, but not for me, not right now.

This is the drumbeat we hear: ■ Facts don’t matter to many Americans.

■ Racism is on the rise.

■ Unqualified candidates enjoy widespread support.

■ Climate change is close to becoming irremediable.

■ A recession is looming.

■ Covid may surge this winter.

■ Former President Donald Trump may run again, or may be indicted. Or he may run and be indicted.

I

had baked earlier in the week, toasted it, and found some raspberry preserves for a micro-boost.

I did not turn on the news.

Some days it is challenging to fine the joy, but there is no acceptable option.

I call my grandkids every few days. Sometimes they have time to talk and it’s a good moment. Sometimes they reach out to me with a video of themselves skateboarding or a good grade alert or a bit of gossip about their friends. It all counts in the plus column.

I started watching “White Lotus,” a new series on HBO Max. It’s funny — horribly, darkly funny. It may not work for you, but the characters, especially the teenagers, are so exaggerated (I hope) that it is a fine distraction.

I watched President Obama’s stump speech in Arizona — twice, because his intelligence and humor and passion for democracy are so heartening.

Another day, I called some old friends.

We all do our best to keep in touch, but often, too much time goes by. So I called, and we chatted and had a laugh and consoled one another, and it was another micro-joy.

urge all of us to find the tiny moments that lift the spirit and give our lives meaning.

There are just so many times we can hear these messages and maintain our equilibrium.

So this week I’m moving from the galactic view to the micro view, and urging all of us to find the tiny moments and joys that lift the spirit and give meaning to our lives. The bad stuff looms large and threatens to block out the sun, but the micro-joys are here, and there was never a greater need.

Just this morning, before sitting down to write, I took a walk. I took in the smell of the air and the ripple of leaves. I continued listening to Jon Meacham’s “Thomas Jefferson: The Art of Power,” because it reminds me that democracy has always been fragile and precious.

I savored my coffee, a robust Cuban blend that tastes delicious and is a terrific eye-opener. I sliced a piece of cornbread I

Like everyone else I know, I do Wordle and Spelling Bee every day in The New York Times. It has become a ritual and a micro-obsession as well as a joy. I think it’s the fun of chalking up a small win and feeling the ping of success, even though it’s just a word game. Wins are hard to come by.

Maybe you have a card game or a board game that can pull your time and attention into focus for an hour or two.

Part of caring for ourselves is finding like-minded friends to enjoy a common experience. A game, a lecture, a bike ride, a meal out — anything to break out of the device-driven isolation zone.

Memories count. One of my best micro-joys this week was looking through some old, and I mean old, photo albums.

How dazzling were those family times, especially from this distance!

I rolled on the floor with Lillybee the dog.

We must find these joyful moments. We must do it with intention and focus and limited expectations. Want to share with me what micro-joys you have found to lift you up?

We do this to keep ourselves strong and renewed for whatever these strange times bring our way.

Honor the men, women of the armed forces

t

here are just two federal holidays each year acknowledging — and thanking — the brave men and women of the U.S. armed forces for their service to our country. They have endured intensive training, harsh conditions and treacherous battlefields on which they have fought for our freedom and protected us from foreign dictators and tyrannical empires overseas.

Memorial Day gives us a chance to remember those we lost. But Veterans Day — which we observe on Friday — honors those who are still with us.

Veterans Day traces its roots back more than 100 years, to the conclusion of World War I. Considered the deadliest and most violent conflict in history to that point, it resulted in nearly 40 million military and civilian casualties.

In the 11th hour of Nov. 11, 1918, a ceasefire accord brought an end to four years of bloodshed. Armistice Day — as it is still known in other parts of the globe — was celebrated in honor of those who fought in the trenches on the Western Front.

Unfortunately, by the time it was acknowledged as an official U.S. holiday in 1938, the world was once again on the brink of a global conflict. World War II’s ferocity far exceeded that of its predecessor, including millions of innocent lives lost in the Holocaust, and culminated with the first — and only — use of the atomic bomb during wartime on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The very first Veterans Day is said to

letters Where there’s need, there’s no room for politics To the Editor: I, for one, am glad that this election season is over. The vitriol, accusations and character assassination by both parties became unbearable. Common ground and common decency were in short supply. I am almost certain that political discourse in our country will continue to take the low road even after all the votes have been tallied.

One of the things I noticed was how the political ads that peppered the evening newscasts left out one crucial segment of our society. In the months leading up to the election, I never saw, or heard, a single ad, by either party, that mentioned the poor and marginalized. There were lots of ads aimed at those of us in the middle class. One could surmise from these ads that we

have taken place in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1947, when World War II veteran Raymond Weeks organized a celebration to honor all those who served in the Atlantic and Pacific theaters of the war. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a law proclaiming that Armistice Day would henceforth be known as Veterans Day. Today the holiday celebrates all who have served. But despite government assistance through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and programs like the GI Bill, many veterans continue to struggle to readjust to civilian life, facing the challenges of securing education, employment, food and housing.

While many returned home to celebrations and commendations, Americans became more cynical during and after the war in Vietnam. More and more returning veterans were met with hatred and disgust or, at best, were simply ignored, which posed a new set of hurdles, with many suffering from drug addiction, PTSD, suicidal urges and other mental health issues, as well as the lasting effects of exposure to Agent Orange.

Many of those problems remain prevalent among military personnel coming back from more recent conflicts, like those in Iraq and Afghanistan.

This is why Veterans Day is more important than it has ever been. And it necessitates more from us than simply thanking and helping a veteran, though any effort — no matter how small — is appreciated.

Volunteer at a VA hospital. You don’t have to have any medical expertise to help.

You can even give a lift to those without the means to get around. Visit Volunteer. va.gov to learn more. Volunteer for the American Red Cross, which has been lending a hand to those returning from war since World War I. Help veterans find work. Hire Heroes USA is a nonprofit organization assisting veterans, active-duty military and their spouses obtain employment with career counseling and advice. Go to HireHeroesUSA.org.

Send a letter, or help veterans write home. This is probably the simplest of all ways to show your support. Operation Gratitude — at OperationGratitude.com — delivers letters, cards and care packages to veterans and military personnel, letting them know they are appreciated. And Operation Write Home provides blank handmade greeting cards to active-duty service members to send messages back to their loved ones. Visit them at SandyAllnock.com/OperationWriteHome.

Give back at the grass-roots level. You can show your support for local veterans in your community by donating to, and volunteering for, the American Legion or Veterans of Foreign War post nearest you.

Veterans deserve our appreciation for protecting and ensuring our cherished way of life. They deserve our thanks not just one day a year, but every day— and on Friday we should be especially united in that gratitude.

hen I was in high school in the Bronx in the 1960s, they didn’t let us use calculators on tests. They hadn’t invented them yet.

I actually learned math in middle school, when my friends and I calculated baseball batting averages and pitchers’ earned run averages. In those days, newspapers only published the stats for the league leaders, so we did the calculations for everyone else on the Yankees and Mets.

Today, when you watch a game on aLan TV, all sorts of statistics that I never sinGer heard of as a kid are recalculated instantaneously.

Likewise, kids today have devices with unimaginable computational power and speed. They just punch in the numbers. As an aging dinosaur, I like to balance my checkbook without help to keep my mind sharp, but some days I don’t bother, and I let Excel work the numbers.

I’ve used algebra and geometry for different projects, but I probably could have gotten by in life with very rudimentary math skills. I haven’t used trigonometry or calculus since I left high school.

So why do kids need to study math?

This is an important question, because the latest report from the National Assessment of Educational Progress shows that as a result of pandemic-related school interruptions, fourth- and eight-graders’ math scores in standardized tests fell in nearly every state and demographic group, and in some states they fell precipitously. Only 36 percent of fourth-graders and 26 percent of eighth-graders were rated proficient in math. In New York, the scores were significantly worse for fourthgraders, with only 28 percent of students rated proficient, and slightly better than the national average for eighth-graders. These were the lowest percentages for New York students since the federal testing started in 1998.

More vulnerable students dropped even further behind their peers. A survey included with the test found that only half of low-performing fourth-graders had regular access to computers during the 2020-21 school year, and a third reported that they didn’t have a quiet place to do school work. Black and Latino students, who already scored lower than white and Asian students on previous exams, experienced the sharpest Covid-related declines. The test results and survey hint that in the near future,

we may see a sharp increase in high school dropouts and a greater opportunity gap.

Reading scores also declined, but it’s easier for students to bounce back when it comes to reading performance. Math is sequential, so if students don’t learn the basics, they can’t perform increasingly complex operations. During the 2021-22 school year, the federal government provided over $120 billion, about $2,400 per student, to address the Covid decline, but federal funding for remediation expires in 2024, and a highly partisan Congress may not allocate the billions more dollars that are still needed.

But again, why do kids need to study math if technology can do the calculations for us?

In New York state, Mathematics Learning Standards stress that the goal is for students to be able to make sense of problems and persevere in solving them; to reason abstractly and quantitatively; to construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others; and to model with mathematics. Computational skills, also called numeracy, are important because to do these things, students have to be comfortable with numbers and be able to “read” math.

But broader “thinking skills” that

are over-taxed pawns of the wealthy, or in danger of losing our freedoms. I suppose all of these could be true to some extent. But by ignoring those who struggle most in our society, we have shown the futility that many of us feel with our current political climate.

As a pastor, I am called to minister to those whom Jesus called “the least of his brothers and sisters.” This can be exhilarating, but at the same time frustrating, work. I am also treasurer of the Long Island Council of Churches, which maintains the Freeport Food Pantry.

More than once in the past year, we have nearly had to shut our doors for a few days because of a lack of food — that’s the frustrating part. The exhilaration comes when I see hungry families leave the pantry with full shopping carts to sustain them for a few days. There shouldn’t be food pantries in a nation as wealthy as ours, but that’s the reality that we live with in this time.

My other exhilaration is that I serve in a missionoriented church. We also support local Head Start programs and migrant farm workers and their families on the east end of Long Island. Yes, our efforts are only stopgap measures. But when our politicians have failed us, they are a necessity.

I never ask any of my congregants, or the folks who bring food to our food drives, if they are Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal. I just give thanks to God that amid all the hostility of our current political climate, there are folks who remember those who are often forgotten, or whom we might wish to forget.

transfer to other areas of school and life are most important. Studying math, besides learning how to calculate, students learn to think logically, how to identify and state a problem clearly, how to plan, how to decide on appropriate strategies to find solutions to a problem, and how to reach conclusions based on evidence — in this case, numbers. And math helps us keep score even when calculators are unavailable. With math we measure money, time and distance. We use it when cooking, balancing a checkbook, determining whether a bill is correct or planning home improvements.

Some people are probably better off when kids can’t do math. It’s easier to cheat them. You can pay them less and bill them more. They can’t understand why climate change and rising sea levels are such a threat, or why Republican claims that the 2020 election was stolen are ridiculous. That only makes it clearer that, if the problem persists, the lives of those kids, and our society as a whole, will be much worse off.
