Teddy Bear Clinic engages kindergartners

BENJAMIN FERNANDEZ, ALIZA’S Rodriguez and Mason Espinal took part in the Teddy Bear Clinic, sponsored by Mount Sinai-South Nassau hospital, where they learned about hospital visits and medical procedures.

Kindergarten students from F re e p o r t P u bl i c S ch o o l s brought their beloved stuffed animals and teddy bears to a special Teddy Bear Clinic April 28, hosted by Mount SinaiSouth Nassau Hospital, where they got a taste of what it’s like to be part of the health care field.

The kindergartners who took part in the educational clinic, in the Bayview Avenue Elemtary School gymnasium, learned about hospital visits and medical procedures in a

hands-on, interactive way.

The clinic aimed to prepare the students for a visit to the hospital by introducing them to different medical stations, including a physical exam station, medical imaging, surgery, physical and respiratory therapy.

“At the Teddy Bear clinic, children bring their teddy bears to get examined and treated for respiratory problems, cast sutures, and receive physical therapy,” Nurse Practitioner Lynn Bert said. “When these kids later come to the hospital for treatment, they say CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Man arrested in Freeport last July is indicted in fatal crash

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Corey Henson, 32, of Centereach has been indicted on charges that he struck and killed 30-year-old Dodanim Emanuel Chavez, of Island Park, while driving drunk last July 11, and fled the scene.

Henson was arraigned May 3 before Judge Christopher Hoefenkrie g on charges of manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter, leaving the scene of an incident resulting in death, assault and driving while intoxicated, which is an unclassified misdemeanor. He pleaded not guilty; bail was set,

and his license was suspended.

He is due back in court on June 1, and if convicted, he could face seven to 22 years in prison.

A press release from Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly’s office states that just after 9 p.m. on July 11, Chavez was moving belongings from his home to a new home with the help of two friends.

While standing on the driver’s side of his friend’s pickup truck on Long Beach Road in Island Park, Chavez was struck

by Henson’s van, and Henson drove away.

Chave z, who had severe head trauma, was sent to Mount Sinai South Nassau hos-

According to the charges, Henson continued driving after the collision, and crashed into a guardrail on South Main Street in Freeport. His van was towed to a local yard. The fol-

lowing day, a Freeport police officer contacted the Nassau County Police De par tment about the van when he learned of the fatal hit-and-run collision. Henson was arrested on July 13 by members of the NCPD and Freeport Police Department when he arrived at the tow yard to claim the van, according to the charges.

“I’m glad that the detective work of Nassau County was able to find the individual who was involved in this type of criminal act,” Freeport Mayor Robert Kennedy said.

A subsequent investigation revealed that prior to the collision, Henson allegedly drank multiple alcoholic beverages CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Stamp Out Hunger returns, seeking food donations STAFF REPORT Island Harvest Food Bank is joining forces with the National Association of Letter Carriers and the U.S. Postal Service to once again Stamp Out Hunger this Saturday, May 13. Postal workers will collect food across Nassau and Suffolk counties, looking to provide muchneeded supplemental food support to more than 300,000 people facing hunger — a third of them children.

“Participating in Stamp Out Hunger is easy,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and chief executive of Island Harvest, in a release. “Generous Long Islanders are encouraged to leave nonperishable food items in a bag next to their mailbox before the regularly scheduled mail deliver on Saturday, May 13. Then, your USPS letter carrier will do the rest to help make sure that no one on Long Island goes hungry.”

Those non-perishable food items can include canned goods, cereal, pasta, rice, boxed juices, and shelf-stable milk.

You should not include any food or juices in glass containers.

Also needed are personal care items like toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant and disposable diapers.

Everything donated on Long Island will help replenish Island Harvest’s network of food pantries and soup kitchens as well as emergency feeding programs in communities throughout Long Island.

ISlAnd HARvEST FOOd Bank and the National Association of Letter Carriers urges neighbors to leave a bag of non-perishable food near their mailbox on Saturday, may 13, to help those on Long Island struggling with hunger.

“Every donation — no matter how small — helps our neighbors who are in the unenviable position of choosing between paying for such things as housing, transportation and medicine, or putting food on the table,” Shubin Dresner said. “I am confident that the past generosity displayed by our Long

Island neighbors will help make this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food drive one of the most successful.”

Since its inception in 1993, Stamp Out Hunger has collected more than 1.75 billion pounds of food in all 50 states, along with the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin

Islands.

On Long Island alone, Stamp Out Hunger has brought in more than 519,000 pounds of food in 2019, before the event was suspended the last three years because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Stamp Out Hunger’s national spokesman is Oscar-nominated actor Edward James Olmos.

“The National Association of Letter Carriers, and the men and women we represent on Long Island, are pleased to once again partner with Island Harvest in this year’s Stamp Out Hunger food collection,” said Tom Siesto, first vice president for NALC Branch 6000. “Our carriers often see firsthand the pervasive issue of hunger as part of their daily rounds, and they are eager to help give back to the community, and assist in helping Island Harvest Food Bank tackle this important issue.”

This year’s major sponsoring partners with Island Harvest include National Grid, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Amazon, Allstate, Bethpage Federal Credit Union, Catholic Health, Nonna’s Garden, Long Island Federation of Labor, MCN Distributors, Dime Community Bank, and New York Community Bank.

All donations to Stamp Out Hunger are tax-deductible since all food collected benefits Island Harvest, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

et ready, Freeport residents, because it’s almost time for the Board of Education election on May 16. This year there are five candidates vying for two seats on the board. Residents will also have the opportunity to weigh in on the proposed budget for the 2023-24 school year.

At present, the school board comprises President Maria Jordan-Awalom, Vice President Sunday F. Coward and Trustees Shuron U. Jackson, Ronald J. Ellerbe and Vilma I. Lancaster. Ellerbe’s and Lancaster’s three-year terms are ending, and Ellerbe is seeking re-election.

The candidates Joseph A. Smith is a parent who is raising four boys, one attending Freeport High School, two attending BOCES schools for those with special needs, and one who will start Kiddie Club at the Freeport Recreation Center in the fall.

Scott Richardson is a married father of three children who graduated from Freeport public schools, with one grandchild currently attending. He works for the village’s electric department as an oiler/tech. Richardson said he wants to continue boosting morale and uniting students, parents, teachers and community. He said he is committed to working with the current school board with a common purpose, the success of Freeport students.

Stephanie Rodriguez is a married mother of three children. She worked in the community as a day care provider for eight years until 2020, and is now the owner of Goosehead Insurance. Rodriguez said her main objective is to uplift, support and empower students during their academic careers. She also plans to start new fundraising programs at no additional cost to parents.

Sonia Dixon is a married mother of four daughters with over 20 years of volunteer experience with Freeport youth.

Currently serving on the Nassau Region PTA’s executive board, Dixon said she wants to continue the work the school board is doing. She also wants to listen to the community more about their concerns and needs to enhance community engagement.

Book Review: “Successful Aging”

by Daniel J. Levitin “Volunteering at a local organization, community center, or hospital can have all the benefits of continuing to work: a sense of self-worth and accomplishment, and the daily interaction with others that causes the brain to light up. The data reveal that volunteering is associated with reduced symptoms of depression, better selfreported health, fewer functional limitations, and lower mortality.”

The author concludes “Gratitude is an important and often overlooked emotion and state of mind. Gratitude causes us to focus on what’s good about our lives rather than what’s bad shifting our outlook to the positive...psychology’s focus on disorders and problems of adjustment was ignoring much of what makes life worth living. Positive psychology has found that people who practice gratitude feel happier.”

Please note that a science background is helpful in understanding the four hundred pages that make up “Successful Aging”.

Criminal mischief

■ Two individuals were arrested by Freeport police officers on May 8 after they were found to have taken property from a local business without permission or authority to do so. The incident was related to a larceny case and the defendants were transported to Freeport Police Headquarters for arrest processing.

■ Freeport Police Officers secured a report on May 8 for an unknown individual that spray painted on a USPS mailbox without permission or authority to do so. Local detectives are currently investigating.

In his best-selling book, “Successful Aging”, Daniel J. Levitin, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Neuroscience at McGill University (your writer’s alma mater), shows how the brain is formed and how it changes, in surprisingly positive ways, as we age.

The author notes that Freud said that the two most important things in life are healthy relationships and meaningful work.

Socialization is crucial to maintaining our mental acuity. “Navigating the complex mores and potential pitfalls of dealing with another human being, someone who has their own needs, opinions, and sensitivities, is about the most complex thing we humans can do. It exercises vast neural networks, keeping them tuned up, in shape, and ready to fire. In a good conversation, we listen, we empathize. And empathy is healthful, activating networks throughout the brain.”

If working is not a viable option then volunteering reduces mental decline.

Arrests

■ Freeport police officers arrested a subject on May 6 after being involved in a traffic accident with another vehicle and found to be driving while intoxicated. The defendant was subsequently placed under arrest and taken to Freeport Police Headquarters.

Larceny ■ Freeport Police Officers secured a report on May 7 for an individual who removed misc items from a local business without permission or authority to do so. Local detectives are currently investigating.

■ Freeport Police Officers secured a report on May 5 for an individual who removed garden tools from a local residence without permission or authority to do so. Local detectives are currently investigating.

People named in Crime Watch items as having been arrested and charged with violations or crimes are only suspected of committing those acts of which they are accused. They are all presumed to be innocent of those charges until and unless found guilty in a court of law.

Tasting a great deal of success last spring inspired members of Freeport’s boys’ tennis program to start playing on their own, either during the offseason or on weekends or holidays since practice began in March, coach Ousmane Diouf said.

The result of the extra court time could be at least a share of the Conference 4 title for a second straight year, if the Red Devils can sweep this week’s opponents and build on their 10-1 record. Last year they were conference co-champs with Malverne.

“The kids love the game of tennis and were excited about finishing tied for the conference championship last year and being honored by the school board,” Diouf said. “They’ve been playing a lot of tennis on their own time, going to Cow Harbor Park in small groups and having fun and getting better.”

Freeport and Baldwin are tied with identical records with three matches remaining. The teams split head-to-head, with the Red Devils taking the season opener on Baldwin’s new turf courts, and the Bruins avenging that loss April 28 at Cow Harbor Park.

“Baldwin has exceptional singles players and we had a bit of a tough time adjusting to the turf courts,” Diouf said.

“If we can win our last three and they do the same, it will be the same finish as last season.”

For the fourth consecutive season, the Red Devils have been led by Jayden Easy at first singles. The fourth-year captain is a star on the court as well as in the classroom. He’s headed to Princeton University and is ranked No. 3 our of 430 students in Freeport’s Class of 2023. “Jayden is involved in so many school activities and is very serious about tennis and understands the game well,” Diouf said. “He’s playing well and has a strong backhand and improved forehand.”

At No. 2 singles, sophomore Isaiah Santana has a 9-2 record, including a few matches at the top spot when Easy was unable to attend. “Isaiah is a great player with great strokes and a strong serve,”

SENIOR JAYDEN EASY is Freeport’s top singles player and also a captain for the fourth year in a row.

Diouf said.

Senior Christian John, a lefty, made the jump from first doubles to third singles and uses his height, speed and athleticism to get the job done, the coach noted.

“He’s very quick on the court and is one of our best servers,” Diouf said.

Freeport’s doubles teams feature a mix of veterans and newcomers. In the top spot are sophomores Johncarlo Rivera and Ricardo Romero. The latter is an avid pickleball player. “They’re happy to be paired up,” Diouf said.

Juniors Erik Cruz and Carlos Ventura form the No. 2 tandem and carried over their chemistry from being on the court together often a year ago. At third doubles, sophomore Daniel Cruz brings height (6-foot-2) and a big serve, while sophomore Jefferson Ortiz earned his way into the starting lineup after sharpening his skills since last spring. Seniors Dorian Trotman and Jesse Menjivan have frequented the win column at fourth doubles thanks in large part to their communication.

Kindergartners take part in Teddy Bear Clinic things like, ‘Oh, I remember this or that from the Teddy Bear Clinic.’”

Helen Kanellopolous, the assistant superintendent for pupil personnel services and special education, highlighted the importance of such an event in reducing the fear and anxiety that is often associated with hospital visits.

“We are very fortunate to have a partnership with Mount Sinai,” Kanellopolous said. “The Teddy Bear Clinic models the experience of going to the hospital.

Children take their teddy bear “patient” through several stations facilitated by health care professionals, from check-in through the operating room and into recovery.

Going to the hospital can be a scary experience for children. The Teddy Bear Clinic prepares children should they ever need to go to the hospital, but in a fun, relaxed environment.”

At each station, health care professionals from Mount Sinai-South Nassau Hospital explained their roles, instruments, and procedures to the students. The physical therapy station allowed students to hop on one foot and stretch with their teddy bears, while the physical exam station enabled them to listen to their teddy bears’ hearts and check their ears and eyes.

“We perform all these different procedures on their teddy bears to show the children that it’s not painful or scary,” Nurse Brittany Hosford said. “They really know a lot more than I thought they would, they know how many bones they have and are aware of the importance of wearing protective gear like helmets and knee pads while riding bikes. They’re really into it.”

Dana Silvester, a nurse at Mount Sinai-South Nassau Hospital, was in charge of the X-ray booth at the clinic.

“At our booth, we have X-ray and casting equipment,” Silvester said. “Our goal is to educate children and reas-

KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS BROUGHT their stuffed animals to the Teddy Bear Clinic sponsored by Mount Sinai-South Nassau Hospital at Bayview Avenue Elementary School for hands-on interactive medical training. sure them that getting an X-ray or cast for a boo-boo or a broken bone is painless and not scary — it’s just like taking a picture and it’s not going to hurt you.”

The highlight of the clinic for many students was putting a cast on their teddy bears’ arms, ears, tails, legs, or hands at the medical imaging station.

“The teddy bear exam table is where children bring their teddy bears for a medical checkup, simulating a visit to the doctor’s office,” Annmarie Difransasca, child life specialist said. “Our team of nurses, PCTs, and child life specialists assist the children and demonstrate some of the medical tools used in the hospital to desensitize them and to make their hospital experience as well as their visits to the doctor a little bit easier, less stressful, and hopefully create good opportunities for kids to ask

questions and not be so afraid.”

The fun and educational event for the students allowed them to help their favorite stuffed animals get well. The Teddy Bear Clinic provided an interactive and engaging way to introduce young children to hospital procedures, and the lessons learned will likely stay with them for years to come.

“By bringing the Teddy Bear Clinic to all of our kindergarten students we can help alleviate the fear and anxiety that is often associated with a hospital visit,” Kanellopolous said. “While we do all we can to teach our students about safety and preventing injuries, accidents happen and having an awareness of what happens next through a hands-on experience is a wonderful learning experience.”

Runners make history at L.I. marathon

E

ast Meadow’s Eisenhower Park was abuzz with excitement this past weekend for what was both the starting and finishing line for the Jovia Long Island Marathon.

The weather was warm and sunny as some 1,900 participants lined up for their races.

Warming up in windbreaker wrappers and lightweight sweatsuits near the starting point not long after sunrise, the runners were exuberant, yet relaxed.

Winning the race was less important than what they had already gained: endurance sufficient to run a 13-mile half marathon or a 26-mile full one. And then, of course, there was the wide fellowship of other runners.

Nearly 500 people ran in the full marathon, with another 1,400 looking to compete in the short race on Sunday. Spectators held signs and flowers, many yelling words of encouragement to the passing runners.

The route started and ended in Eisenhower Park, but runners traversed outside to the surrounding communities as well.

Race director Corey Roberts was everywhere, greeting the athletes and answering questions. Nassau County Legislator Rose Walker, speaking from a temporary stage, recalled that the Long Island marathon started as the Earth Day Marathon at Roosevelt Raceway, directed by her late husband John.

Nassau County Parks commissioner Darcy Belyea, North Hempstead town supervisor Jennifer DeSena, and county legislator Tom McKevitt belted out words of encouragement as the start time approached.

County police swears in first Muslim chaplain RAsHID KHAN wAs sworn in by Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder as the first Muslim chaplain in the department’s history chaplain.

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

It was a historic moment for the Nassau County Police Department. For the first time in the department’s nearly 100-year history, a Muslim was sworn in as chaplain, set to provide emotional, moral and spiritual support to the department.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman swore in Rashid Khan at a ceremony at David Mack Center for Training and Intelligence in Garden City. Not only will Khan work with police officers and law enforcement staffers, but he’ll be one of six chaplains who may be asked to preside at a number of county events, giving religious and spiritual aid to communities.

“We have so many events here in Nassau County, and all of our chaplains are actively taking part in that,” Blakeman said. “Throughout the police department, they’re doing all kinds of chaplaincy work. But they also are in the community and representing our police department in the highest manner.”

A resident of Valley Stream, Khan is the former vice president of the Islamic Center of the South Shore in Valley Stream, and has been in law enforcement himself for 25 years, volunteering as a Nassau County Police Department auxiliary officer. Khan owns a small cleaning business in Elmont, and has served as a court officer for the Valley Stream village court.

Nassau County legislator Bill Gaylor advocated for Khan’s appointment as a chaplain.

“I know he’s filling a void,” the legislator said, “and it’s much needed within the police department and our community.”

Several law enforcement agencies were on-hand at the county’s recently job fair ranging from patrol officers, to the probation department, fire marshals, corrections officers, and the sheriff ’s department. The goal

Kepherd Daniel/Herald

was to emphasize to younger people the importance of law enforcement positions.

“I know Inspector Khan is going to be there for me, also to help us better police our communities and better understand our officers,” said Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder. “It is clear that the county executive has put his stamp on both government and the police departments when it comes to diversity and the importance of it. I have eight police officers and a son now that are of the Muslim faith, and our chaplain will instruct our recruits about the faith and understanding of that religion.

“If you understand the community, you police that

community better.”

It’s creating a bigger tent for all faiths Blakeman hoped to emphasize with Khan now part of the chaplain corps.

“One of the things that I want to market and celebrate here in Nassau County is our diversity,” Blakeman said. “Our Muslim community is growing, and we’re getting more Muslim police officers. So, we need a Muslim chaplain. We have one of the most diverse counties in the United States, and one of the things that we are doing is we are going out into minority communities and recruiting police officers in those communities.”

Best way to treat hearing loss? Prevention

Roksana Amid/Herald

DR. LAwReNce cARDANO, top, joined Herald Community Newspapers executive editor Michael Hinman to provide insight on hearing loss and prevention during a free webinar last week as part of Herald’s Inside LI. Cardano’s book, ‘The Hearing Clarity Solution,’ is what he calls a must-read for those looking to treat and understand hearing loss.

It’s easy for many to take for granted hearing everyday sounds. Listening to oncoming traffic when crossing the street. Enjoying birds chirping in springtime to lift our mood. Even hearing the sizzle of a frying pan could make us feel accomplished.

These familiar sounds often leave a big impact on our quality of life, and shape our relationships with friends and family. So losing such a vital sense like hearing can be devastating, and lead to other problems that impair cognition. Knowing when to seek medical attention and understanding the full effects of hearing loss is what those who tuned in to the recent Herald Inside LI webinar with Dr. Lawrence Cardano were looking for.

“Hearing loss is associated with cognitive decline, dementia and falls since the parts of our brains that are usually stimulated with sound start to decorate,” said Cardano, an audiology doctor, author, and certified dementia practitioner explained. “If you have trouble with hearing clarity, you’re putting a lot more mental effort into figuring out what people are saying. You don’t have as much mental resources left over to remember what the person is saying.”

When doctors solve hearing clarity problems, Cardano said, they investigate how the brain interprets sound. They first look at orientation between the ears and the brain, which helps the brain understand where sound is coming from. They also assess recognition of sounds that are like one another, along with how well patients focus.

“You can hear two people talking at the same time. And if you have normal hearing, you can decide on which person to focus on, and you can switch from one to another,” Cardano said. “But if you don’t do a good job treating hearing loss, you can hear their voices, but can’t focus on one or the other. You just hear a bunch of noise.”

Research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that mild hearing loss increases significantly with cognitive decline and dementia, and 50 percent of the connections between the inner ear to the brain don’t function properly.

People with hearing loss are likely to become socially isolated since carrying conversations can become more difficult. The resulting cognitive overload, Cardano added, also increases the risk for dementia.

Over time, many develop cerebral atrophy — or shrinkage of the brain — from deteriorating neural connections, a hallmark of dementia.

Traditional hearing tests don’t provide enough insight into what causes most hearing loss, Cardano says, which greatly impacts treatment. He believes cognitive function screenings for those 55 and older are essential since they also assess the risk of cognitive decline and hearing loss.

These tests evaluate memory, vision, executive function, reaction time and processing speed.

“If we use this as a baseline if a person has hearing loss and hearing clarity problems, repeating this screening six months later will typically see improvements in some of these parameters,” Cardano said. “Hearing loss is a progressive degenerative condition.”

Doctors are now using a deep neural network of artificial intelligence in hearing devices which can greatly improve a patient’s quality of life. The artificial intelligence learns sounds like how a child learns language — through trial and error.

But no matter how advanced the technology is, it needs to be verified and validated to assess the prescription.

Treatment for hearing loss is ongoing, and treatment must be adjusted and maintained over time. Since it’s a progressive condition, hearing clarity is going to gradually decorate over time.

But fortunately, as hearing clarity decorates, Cardano said, the technology to address it improves.

“We were interested in the idea that the artist has a civic responsibility,” says museum director Karen Albert. “The initial idea for this exhibition was inspired by an Obama Administration White House briefing that took place on May 12, 2009, where more than 60 artists and creative organizers met with administration officials to discuss the collective power of the arts to build community, create change, and chart a pathway for national recovery in the areas of social justice, civic participation and activism.”

To that end, unlike other recent exhibits that showcased the museum’s permanent collection, Giordano reached out to contemporary artists who loaned the museum their selected works. Some 36 pieces are on view — representing all media — from Emma Amos, Molly Crabapple and the Equal Justice Initiative, For Freedoms, Miguel Luciano, Michele Pred, Hank Willis Thomas, and Sophia Victor.

“The way our climate is now, this exhibit could not be more timely than at this moment,” Albert adds.

Among the highlights, she points to the series of prints from the collective For Freedoms. Their four large scale photos are based on Norman Rockwell’s 1943 oil paintings inspired by President Franklin D.

A new rock musical by then little-known composer-playwright Jonathan Larson first came to the public attention in 1996. What happened next went beyond anything the musical theatre world could have imagined. Loosely based on Giacomo Puccini’s 1896 opera ‘La Bohème,’ it tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan’s East Village in ‘bohemian’ Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. ‘Rent’ became an international phenomenon and a cultural touchstone. Now it’s re-imagined and staged in a concert production at the Madison Theatre, directed by the Madison’s artistic director Angelo Fraboni.

Hundreds attend senior health expo

T

he Rockville Centre Recreation Center opened its doors to eager guests for the Herald’s Senior Health & Beyond Expo on May 5.

Presented by UnitedHealthcare and produced by RichnerLive, this is the second in a series of expos for 2023.

More than 35 diverse businesses — as well as innovative services — were on-hand to share their products and refined knowledge with Long Island senior citizens to improve wellness and heighten their lifestyle.

Free on-site health screenings and vaccines from Mount Sinai South Nassau were also available, plus hearing screenings from Dr. Lawrence Cardano of Hearing Center of Long Island — who was also one of the speakers on the expo’s

afternoon panel.

Goody bags and tons of raffles were also a plus.

The event was made possible thanks to Gold Sponsor Mount Sinai South Nassau, and the Gift Bag Sponsor, Primary Partner Care. Silver Sponsors were Verron Law Group, Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation, Long Beach Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, Aetna, CenterLight and Hearing Center of LI. Guests and vendors are looking forward to the next Expo happening Wednesday, June 28 at the Sunny Atlantic Beach Club, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

THE “WOMEN TALK History: Looking Backwards, Understanding the Present” Book Talk event on May 11 features three local authors, including Regina Feeney, Wendy Walker Jackson, and Kim Taylor, who will take attendees on a historical journey moderated by author Barbara Spinnelli, and is free and open to the public.

Book Talk event takes you on a historical journey Get ready to travel through time and history with the upcoming Book Talk event, “Women Talk History: Looking Backwards, Understanding the Present.”

On May 11 at 7 p.m., three local authors will be featured at the Arts Council Offices in Freeport located at 130 E. Merrick Road in the Freeport Recreation Center.

The event will be moderated by Barbara Spinnelli, a career counselor, mixed media artist, and author of the memoir “The Letters: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Restoration.” “ Spinnelli believes that everyone has a story to tell and will guide the discussion as the three speakers transport attendees to different moments in history.

The speakers for the evening include Regina Feeney, a full-time librarian at the Freeport Memorial Library and author of the “Freeport History Encyclopedia,” which presents the rich history of Freeport. Feeney co-authored “Images of America” with Cynthia Krieg and contributed to Nancy Solomon’s “Boat Building and Boat Yards of Long Island.” She also coordinated the NY Heritage digitalization project to make local Long Island

history accessible via the internet.

Wendy Walker Jackson, an educator in the Freeport School District, is a prolific poet and enthusiastic storyteller. Her first children’s book, “The Virus That Changed the World,” captures the highlights of the COVID-19 pandemic as it impacted our lives, especially those of her students. Jackson’s works are influenced by the social intricacies of our communities, and the need for the empowerment of the underserved.

Kim Taylor, a speech language pathologist and Department Supervisor at a large school for deaf children, is the author of “A Flag for Juneteenth.” Her book tells the story of the celebration of the first Juneteenth from the perspective of a young girl. Taylor is also an expert quilter whose works have been exhibited at several venues throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. Her quilts reflect African American life, and she tells stories through her materials.

This event is free and open to the public, with refreshments provided.

Can our flat roof be fixed?

Q. My house, from 1963, has a flat roof we can walk on, stairs leading up to it and walls all around for safety. Over the years, we’ve noticed ceiling stains at the edges. Recently the stains spread to the middle of the room. We know it should be fixed, and three roofing companies over the past five years have told us they fixed it. There are deck boards lying on the roof. How do we solve this problem? One suggested he come back and use colored water in different spots until the ceiling stains turn color. Before we do such a thing, do you have any other ideas?

A. Flat roofs are a special kind of system, with less room for error than an angled roof. There are several components, and each one is there to create a seal and work with natural conditions, such as expansion and contraction due to temperature changes and sun radiation bombardment; infiltration due to humidity, rain, snow and ice; onte eeper wind uplift under extremes such as hurricanes and tornadoes, and, in your case, foot traffic. Unless all of these conditions are accounted for, the roof will potentially stretch and tear away from the exterior parapet walls you described, causing small linear rips or even gaping holes that let water seep in. The tiniest opening, even microscopic, will allow water to accumulate in your ceiling and walls below.

Water management must also be planned into the roof. Try to look at original plans of the house design to see specific details that may or may not have been followed. Other than details, look to see if slope arrows, showing which way the water is supposed to be directed, are on the plans, especially with very low-slope, nearly flat, roofs, then look to see if the drains are clear and in the right places according to the plans.

You may need to consult a design professional or roof system manufacturer’s representative to see if the system is installed correctly. They also look for seam details, the wall-to-roof connections, the drain flashings (to be sure they’re sealed and redundantly overlapping) and whether you have the right kind of roof material for the location.

I once reviewed a public school roof where I had to tell the superintendent that classes shouldn’t be allowed back in because the condition was so dangerous. It was in early August, after a heavy rain and the roof had nearly 18 inches of standing water. The ceiling structure was bowing downward.

Children were back in the classroom that September due to the quick action of the school system’s great management, who assembled a team of people to remove, re-slope the roof with a tapered foam block system and cover with the right roofing membrane, flashed correctly to new drains.

The plans were followed, and I’m certain that the roof has been performing well for the past 20 years.

Your roof can too. Good luck!

S

o you’re looking for a way to give back to your community?

Maybe burnish your resume for a future run for public office?

Look no further than your local education board.

Next week, on Long Island’s own “Super Tuesday,” every school district will hold a budget vote and school board trustee election.

It’s a big deal for schools and the communities — and aspiring politicians.

People who run for a seat on their school board are a different breed.

MARK They have extraordinary NOLAN drive, experience and altruism.

They’re uber-volunteers who spend any free minute with all manner of community nonprofits.

They coach Little League, do homework with their own kids while cooking dinner, then race to a PTA meeting. They comb through agendas and scour budgets line by line. They’re on social media, plugging an upcoming fundraiser or highlighting a concern.

These folks are the backbone of a community. They deal with stuff like the rest of us — bills, grocery shopping, sick kids at home, deaths in the family — while donating their free time. It can be a rewarding experience to be directly involved in making your school a better place for kids.

But there should be a warning label on the trustee petition — a seat on an education board is a meatgrinder.

I’ve covered education on Long Island for almost two decades. I’ve been to more school board meetings than therapy could force me to remember.

There have been threats, tantrums, screaming, fistfights, secret recordings, security escorts — a bonanza of TMZ-worthy behavior. A former Long Island education board trustee had his car plastered with cupcakes for siding against sugary snacks in class.

Board meetings are open to the public and draw people from every corner of a community. Democracy’s strength is that every person is represented, and every person has rights. The strength of an education board — on Long Island, at

I

least — is direct and local control of schools. The state dictates an awful lot to schools, but districts have a lot of say in how they run them.

The openness of a BOE meeting, however, comes with risk. A few neighborhood cranks see a public meeting as their chance to flourish. They yell, hurl insults, smash furniture, post vitriol on social media. And for the most part, a trustee has to sit there and take it.

The work is admirable, and often overwhelming.

There is no pay. You have to be a fiscal guru, an educational policy wonk, a legal expert, a skilled negotiator, and tireless at hours-long meetings and events.

Most trustees are well-meaning neighbors, but boards also draw aspiring political operatives. These are people who crave power and influence.

It’s no secret that an education board is a practice field for future politicians.

No wonder political hacks come forward with wide grins and extended hands, the gleam of potential influence in their eyes.

Power, you say? As a volunteer on a

’ve been to more board meetings than therapy could force me to remember.

local school board?

Yes, sir. Boards control massive amounts of money. True, most of the budget is dedicated to predetermined salaries and retirement and health care obligations. But there are millions of dollars doled out through contracts.

School officials try to spend that money locally, so local companies get rewarded with contracts — and school board trustees curry goodwill.

I truly laud people who sit on education boards — even those angling for political influence. Despite the negatives, every Long Island community needs a board with dedicated trustees.

It’s not thankless work, but at times it can devolve into pettiness, vendettas and innuendo. It takes a person with true desire to help the schools while being able to stomach the nastiness.

So keep this in mind next Tuesday as you vote for your local school budgets and trustees. And, if you’re thinking of running for a seat on the school board next year, remember this sports adage: Go hard, or go home.

As the virus ebbs, rules — and reporting — shift

W

ho says the coronavirus pandemic isn’t a global emergency anymore?

WHO says. The World Health Organization announced last week that the pandemic is officially no longer an emergency. In practical terms, that means that the intensity of monitoring will change in response to a declining number of cases worldwide.

WHO added, “The virus is evolving and remains a global health threat, but at a lower level of concern.”

Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director RANDI of the WHO’s KREISS Health Emergencies Programme, said, “We fully expect that this virus will continue to transmit … In most cases, pandemics truly end when the next pandemic begins.” He acknowledged that that wasn’t an entirely reassuring observation. Our Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it would curtail some of its monitoring and reporting on Covid-19, but would “continue to keep our eye on the Covid-19 ball,” according to Dr. Nirav Shah, the CDC’s principal deputy director.

Every day, people are still catching and

spreading Covid, and some are hospitalized, and hundreds are dying, thought that’s down from thousands just a year ago. That’s very good news, unless you’re among those who catch the virus on its way out. The obvious but unstated caveat is that the virus is leaving a massive trail of loss and dislocation.

The history of the pandemic in America is grim.

In an ironic twist on American exceptionalism, we can claim to be the country where the coronavirus has been deadlier than anywhere else in the world. We lost more than 1 million of our family members, friends and neighbors. More than a million Americans who expected to grow up or grow old or find their life’s work or set out on adventures. More than a million mothers, fathers, grandparents, sisters and brothers died from a virus that wasn’t traveling the world five years ago.

We all want to move on, and pick up our school, travel and job plans, but I look over my shoulder and I see a million reminders that life is both precious and perilous.

As we move forward, I know we can’t go back to the future we expected. We have been changed by these three years of isolation and anxiety. The paths of our

I

children and grandchildren were abruptly blocked, and education in any meaningful sense was altered. Did you see the recent reports on eight-graders’ knowledge of history? Are you reading about the absenteeism and school anxiety and behavioral problems as schools try to get back to business?

Our children and our grandchildren are carrying stuff in their backpacks not appropriate for consumption by minors. Weeks and months of isolation from friends, classroom learning and school routines are losses that will burden them for some time.

We send these kids, whom we claim to love more than life itself, back to schools where they sat as second- or thirdgraders behind plastic shields. We expect them to somehow set aside the sounds and images of death and dying.

The mental health crisis among kids is well documented and well publicized, but I don’t see that it is being addressed in a robust way across the country. We need a national Peace of Mind Corps that will get out into our communities to offer mental health care where it is needed.

And yes, we must pass gun laws that would alleviate the daily threat of violence in our classrooms. Our kids have

look back and see a million reminders that life is both precious and perilous.

enough to carry without that fear. I don’t know that anyone has looked at a possible connection between the pandemic and the shooting epidemic, but both land on children as horrific and scary facts of life over which they have absolutely no control.

Some people I know feel cheated by the pandemic. People in their 70s and 80s, approaching retirement and planning to use their free time to explore other activities, found themselves locked down for three years, and often locked away from family and friends. One friend said to me, “Losing three years of being out in the world is painful anytime, but losing those years when you’re older is sad.”

There are too many what-ifs surrounding Covid-19 to count. If then President Donald Trump had moved faster against the threat, we might have avoided the catastrophic losses. If officials hadn’t put politics before common-sense protocols like masking and universal vaccinations, lives would have been saved. If we hadn’t evolved into a society where science became suspect, more Americans would have survived.

But here we are. Even as we grieve our losses, we can support the agencies and services that provide mental health care to children and teens. We can do two things at once: honor the dead and support the living.

Your school vote matters, so use it wisely

N

ext Tuesday, May 16, is the day that eligible voters across New York state can vote on school district budgets; on referenda that will direct money to capital projects or set aside funds to do so in the future; and for board of education trustees.

Do not waste this valuable opportunity to have your voice heard.

But there’s one vital caveat: Please understand what you are doing when you cast your ballot.

If you are concerned about how much money your district plans to spend, find out what the budget consists of before you vote. You can typically find information on the district’s website, or through reporting here in the pages of your local newspaper.

However you vote, understand that your decision has an impact.

Recently, a few parents in the HewlettWoodmere school district, along with parents in a couple of Suffolk County districts, were upset about personal questions, and some about politics, their children were being asked in classrooms. Some Hewlett-Woodmere parents threatened to vote “no” on the proposed fiscal plan. That, of course, is their choice.

If a majority of voters reject a district budget, however, the district must either hold a second vote, offering the same spending plan or a revised one, or adopt what is called a contingency budget.

At one time, a contingency budget — then called an “austerity” budget — was restricted to a 4 percent spending increase.

Contingency budgets typically trim what is known as “low-hanging fruit” — funding for student activities such as sports, the arts — from music to theater — and clubs. Administrators, teachers, custodians and other district employees with union contracts are unaffected.

The students — the ones mandated by law to attend school and receive an education, in the hope that they will become productive members of society — are the ones most severely impacted by a budget failure.

Are we saying don’t vote “no” on a school budget? In a word, no. But understand the implications of both a yea and nay vote.

Review the district literature. Read the local media. And remember that board trustees are elected. Connect with them and ask them questions — the ones running for re-election as well as the

candidates who are challenging them.

Remember, a key factor in this equation is that it’s your money. Your dollars, and those of other taxpayers, support the schools.

Do all you can to hold the trustees elected to represent you accountable, and to make sure they are holding the people they hire — superintendents, principals and other administrators — accountable as well.

When considering whom to vote for in contested — and even unopposed — trustee elections, learn about the candidates. How long have they been on the board? What have they done? What has a challenger done to illustrate his or her interest in this unpaid, volunteer position? What are the candidates’ views on important issues?

Know where you should go to vote. If you don’t, call your district, or consult its website.

School district budget votes and board elections might not attract the attention of elections at higher levels of government, but that doesn’t make them any less critical. In the days remaining before next Tuesday, do your part. Be an informed, intelligent and responsible voter.

Loved the letter to D’Esposito

To the Editor: I would like to applaud Claudia Borecky’s “Open letter to Rep. Anthony D’Esposito” in last week’s Herald.

Borecky’s letter reflected good old-fashioned common sense as well as the outrage many of us feel toward those who allow mass shootings to continue under the “protection” of the Second Amendment.

I’m tired of listening to regular reports of mass shootings taking place all over the country. Assault rifles don’t belong in the hands of private citizens. If they want to defend themselves, their loved ones or their homes, let them get training and licenses to own simple pistols. Let’s make everyone’s safety a priority.

Will we see busloads of migrants?

To the Editor: Two wrongs don’t make a right. New

York City Mayor Eric Adams criticizes Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing thousands of illegal migrants to New York. Now Adams turns around to send some of the same illegal

immig rants to motels in Rockland and Orange counties, rented by the city. Will Adams soon do the same for Nassau and Suffolk counties?

OPINIONS

had never spent more than one night in a hospital or been confronted by serious illness, so my recent surgery for stomach cancer and six-day hospital stay were a life-altering experience.

Fortunately, it turned out well. I am all too aware that every day, many thousands of people have medical situations more serious than mine, and not all end well.

Mine began innocuously enough. In 2017 I developed acid reflux, something fairly common and PETER usually very treatKING able. An endoscopy done by Dr. Michael Barth, a gastroenterologist and a good friend, turned up nothing.

As a routine update, we did another endoscopy in March. Going into it, I didn’t give it a second thought. Just another test that guys my age go through.

Just checking the box. I was surprised when Barth told me he had found a protrusion in my stomach wall. He thought it was probably benign, but recommended that I see Dr. Arvino Trindade, a specialist at Northwell Health.

Trindade scheduled a biopsy for April 10, at Long Island Jewish hospital. I had to be there at 5:30 a.m. For Irish guys, hospitals are intimidating enough at any time, but especially in the early-morning dark.

Melissa Zimmerman, a retired Nassau County police detective who was on my security detail when I was in Congress, offered to drive Rosemary and me to the hospital.

Before I was taken into the operating

room, Trindade told me he was pretty sure there was nothing there. The next thing I knew, I was waking up and he was telling me there was a tumor, and the odds were that it was malignant. That should have been shocking news, but he was professional and calm, assuring me it could easily be removed. Nothing to worry about.

A few nights later, I woke up at around 3 a.m., and it hit me that I probably had cancer. Then, four days after the biopsy, Barth and Trindade called to confirm it: The tumor was malignant, and the surgery would be done at LIJ by Dr. Matthew Weiss, a premier surgeon.

Weiss called and told me all looked good for complete success. “Enjoy the weekend,” he said. That night, Rosemary and I had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Manhattan with Melissa and her husband, Lance.

The following Tuesday I met Weiss, who told me the surgery would be on April 24. He was confident that it would go well.

It turned out that his college roommate was a son of Frank Macciarola, whom I’d gone to St. Francis College with and who later became president of the college.

Small world. I took it as a good sign.

I went to pre-op appointments at Northwell, and saw my cardiologist in Manhattan to get clearance for the operation. With a day to go, I started on a liquid diet, Jell-O being the closest thing to solid food.

Once again, Melissa drove Rosemary and me to the hospital. The Northwell admissions people couldn’t have been friendlier. By 6:30 a.m. I was dressed in my hospital outfit, lying on a gurney with

T

he next thing I knew, I was waking up and being told there was a tumor.

LETTERS The real solution involves securing our souther n border with Mexico.

Under President Biden’s watch, millions of ille g al immig rants have crossed. Now more are attempting the same at our Canadian border. Department of Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas has the nerve to claim the border is secure. With the ending of Title 42, which afforded us the opportunity to send many illegal immigrants back to their home countries, the situation will only grow worse. Regardless of how you feel about former President Trump, under his watch the flow of illegals was less and border security better.

We have spent billions to help Ukraine secure its border against the Russian invasion. It’s time we spend whatever it takes to secure our borders with Mexico and Canada.

LARRY PENNER Great Neck

an intravenous tube in my arm, answering questions from doctors and nurses, including the ones you’re asked 100 times: name, date of birth, surgery you’re there for. Sometimes I had to spell my name.

Then I was wheeled into the operating room, a science fiction-style enclosure filled with doctors, nurses, bright lights and a table with what seemed to be an endless supply of knives and scissors.

An epidural was painlessly inserted in my spine, and an anesthesia mask placed over my face.

The next thing I knew, I was in the recovery room, and Rosemary was saying that Weiss had told her all had gone well. I felt pain across my stomach, but nothing severe.

Soon I was in my own room. There was no steady pain as long as I lay motionless, but any attempt to move, or even reach for something, was very painful. Every day, though, the pain receded. The day after the surgery, I was walking up and down the hall. I slept pretty well at night, despite being awakened every few hours to have my blood pressure taken and blood drawn.

Each morning began with a team of doctors coming through at about 6:30 to ask how I was doing and to take turns admiring the 9-inch-long scar from my chest to my navel. Their words of praise made me feel proud, almost as if I had something to do with it. Weiss came by several times, always upbeat and reassuring — a total pro.

Northwell chief executive Michael Dowling, whom I’m proud to work for as a Northwell consultant, visited me for almost an hour, and we chatted about

everything from my surgery to County Limerick’s hurling team in Ireland.

Besides Rosemary, who was there for hours each day, visitors included my son, Sean, my daughter, Erin, my sister, Barbara (a nurse), NCPD Commissioner Pat Ryder, former Deputy Commissioner Bill Flanagan, the Zimmermans, and former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Fred Cambria.

There were phone calls from Mets greats Ed Kranepool and Art Shamsky and getwell wishes from political luminaries including Joe Cairo, Bruce Blakeman, Al D’Amato and Jay Jacobs. The warmest conversation was with my grandson Jack.

The most unexpected call came from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Representatives Anthony D’Esposito, Andrew Garbarino and Nick LaLota, who had a layover in Shannon Airport, in Ireland, on a trip to Jordan and Israel. I almost felt as if I were back in Congress.

Five days after the operation, I walked out of the hospital unassisted.

I can’t say enough about the people at Northwell, especially the nurses and aides who did everything to make me comfortable and keep me relaxed. Northwell was top shelf before, during and after this entire process. (For those who might wonder, I was covered by Medicare and Rosemary’s insurance plan. I gave up congressional insurance 20 years ago. It was too expensive.)

Now I’m home and feel great. No real pain; just soreness. I’m eating well, and walking a few blocks each day. Weiss expected an almost full recovery in three to four weeks. There were some tense moments along the way, but I’m a lucky guy.

Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Democrats favor felons over disabled veterans To the Editor: First our Democratic state government gave us bail reform, which puts the criminals back on the street before police officers complete their paperwork, and Democratic district attorneys lower felony charges or completely dismiss them.

Now the Democrats, who also decriminalized marijuana, have given over 200 licenses to open stores and sell marijuana to convicted felons who were mostly drug dealers. Not one disabled veteran has received a license. In the eyes of our Democratic elected officials, convicted felons are more important than disabled veterans.
