FAmIlIES lINED UP for a fast ride down a high slide at the Nautical Mile Festival last Saturday.

The 32nd annual Nautical Mile Festival last Saturday was an event that stimulated all the senses. It was sunny, but not hot. Breezy but gentle. Vendors were selling unique creations. There was curbside music, outdoor drama and inside dining. Wafting deliciously through the air were fragrances of corn dogs, sweet waffles, Philly cheese steaks and fried calamari. The festival delivered it all. As families strolled along Woodcleft Continued on page 10

Freeport student academic leaders share hopes, activities By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Becoming a high school valedictorian can set someone up for more academic opportunities in the future — but it isn’t easy. Freeport High School’s valedictorian, Elise Smith, said that to achieve that feat, it’s “part luck, part the work you put in and part who you surround yourself with.” Smith, 18, couldn’t speak to luck, but she could reflect on the work she put in. In the classroom, she was eager to be in the most difficult classes. Throughout her four years, she took 10

AP classes, including five this year. Among others, these courses included calculus, psychology, biology and government. Smith said she has always been a big procrastinator, but learned how to do what was needed to get ahead. “I worked on self-discipline so I can get everything done,” she said. “I also stayed very organized, and had support from family and friends.” Her self-discipline and organization helped her amass a 108.9 weighted GPA, leading Freeport High’s graduating class of 477 students. Outside the classroom, Smith

She has also spent time as a peer tutor, and has been a varsity lacrosse player for the past three years. As for those with whom she surrounded herself, Smith’s best friend is Karina Rios, the class of 2022’s salutatorian.

Girlz Talk Summit 2022 roars back in person By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

After two years of virtual programming, on Saturday, June 4, the muchanticipated Cedarmore Corporation Girlz Talk Summit 2022 was held in Eisenhower Park at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre. In partnership with the Nassau County Office of Youth Services, hundreds of girls were actively engaged in workshops, fun activities, and informative keynote speakers, all designed to enrich, empower, and educate young ladies. Two of the outstanding keynote speakers were Collette V. Smith and Monique Denton-Davis. Collette V. Smith was the first Black female NFL coach. She started her career playing professional women’s football at age 42, after a life journey of overcoming rape, domestic violence, and attempted suicide. After her coaching career, she founded her own business, Believe in You, Inc., and has become an ambassador for the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. She is a pioneer in the movement toward empowering women, training others to believe in their power to use their voices and change the world. “At some point, you wake up and you start to fight for yourself,” Smith said at a fundraiser for Girlz Talk in April. “I’m proud knowing that I leveled the playing field.” Monique Denton-Davis is the founder and CEO of Embrace Your CAKE, LLC, a Minority Women Business Enterprise. She is an expert in the field of human resources and is also a certified life coach who focuses on empowerment of all women, but particularly women of color. Her workshops train young women in confidence, positive attitudes, kindness and excellence. She has compiled two books of practical and inspirational essays: “Sisters Inspiring Sisters: Faith, Leadership, Finance,” and “Sisters Inspire Sisters: Self-Love, Manifestation, Abundance.” The Freeport School District’s Giblyn Hot Steppers and Uniondale High School Show Choir provided entertainment in the theater bandshell. One workshop that the girls particularly enjoyed was “Learning to LOVE the Girl in YOU: Interactive Health, Wellness, & Beauty,” which was sponsored by Northwell Health & Beauty Pavilion. The girls enjoyed a relaxing spa experience with a massage, a facial, aroma therapy, and other healing techniques. The workshop was led by Dana Persico, who has worked diligently in research and development for health and personal care. In fact, she has launched more than 100 innovative beauty products and is the owner and CEO of LI Nail, Skin & Hair Institute. Under the direction of Aleisha Garvin, LCSW, OWDS, Assistant Deputy Director, Nassau County Probation Department, officers from the Nassau County Probation Department (Family Division) assisted with security for the day.

Probation Officer Dianna Quinones of the Nassau County Probation Department (Family Division) greatly appreciated the event. “I can honestly state that my experience at this Girlz Talk Summit 2022 was wonderful,” Quinones said. “I feel that more youth need to see, experience, and be involved with people that look like them, or perhaps were born into the same circumstances that they were born into, yet made it out of those circumstances to live in their greatness with their intended purpose.” Quinones also said that even girls who are on the right track need encouragement to keep their focus, and the summit gave them exactly what they needed. “We can provide them with some necessary tools and speak greatness into their lives,” Quinones said. “If we continue to tell them that they are destined for greatness, that they matter, they are worthy and they are loved, and if they can just continue steadfast in their race, they

can and will accomplish and fulfill their purpose.” Simone Robinsons Ross attended and participated in the conference because she is a grateful mom. “As a Mother’s Day gift years ago, I was given tickets to attend my very first Girlz Talk at Hofstra University,” Ross said. “My daughter Olyvia was 11. She is now 22! The conference was so awe-inspiring that I just had to be a part of this wonderful program. I joined the Girlz Talk Planning Committee, and the rest is beautiful history! If you want to help a young lady in your life to experience this beautiful history, register a middle or high school young lady for Girlz Talk.” Ross’s words were echoed by another Girlz Talk team member, Alicia Tutt. “What a privilege to serve as a member of such a dynamic committee that spearheads the Cynthia P. Roberts Empowerment Series, Girlz Talk,” Tutt said. “The joy of introducing young ladies to interactive opportunities to assist them to unlock

My niece and her friend were excited to attend and want to attend a second time.” “This was the best Girlz Talk! After being home for two years, I made some new friends and learned a lot.” “The keynote speaker, Collette V.

He also shared second-place recognition with senior editor Michael Smollins for headline writing in the Lynbrook/East Rockaway Herald. Brinton also placed second for editorials. Nassau Herald editor Jeffrey Bessen and reporter Lisa Margaria took home a

third place award in the education category. Along with the awards, the Press Club also inducted Brian Boyhan, Joye Brown, Drew Scott and Chris Vaccaro into its Hall of Fame.

Leo F. GibLyn students and staff raised $2,000 for the ALS Ride for Life organization.

Giblyn School welcomes ALS Ride for Life After a two-year hiatus, the ALS Ride for Life once again made a stop at the Leo F. Giblyn Elementary School to raise awareness and help find a cure for ALS. This is the seventh year the organization has stopped at the elementary school on their Ride for Life tour. The event is highly anticipated by the

school and this year the students and staff welcomed the organization with beautiful signs showing their support. They wore the color blue or a Yankees shirt to honor Lou Gehrig and cheered “Strike out ALS” as members of the ALS Ride for Life rode up the street, followed closely behind by the Giblyn step team.

Members of the ALS Ride for Life organization spoke to the students about the disease and how the organization works to raise awareness and funds to find a cure. Giblyn Principal Amy Lederer announced that the Giblyn ALS coin drive raised $2,000 for the organization.

Music teacher Ms. Shannon Abramovitz then led the entire school in a moving performance of the song “Lend a Helping Hand” for the ALS members. Closing out the Giblyn stop on the ALS Ride for Life tour, the students and ALS members learned a new ALS Cheer until next year’s ALS Ride for Life.

Hurricane season is here — even for L.I. Busy forecast means at least one storm could make way north By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

It may not seem so, but the hurricane season has already started. And it’s forecast to be quite a busy one. In fact, expect as many as 21 named storms this season, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, indicating a higher-thanaverage number of storms that reach at least tropical storm strength this year. And it’s more than likely at least one of them could make their way to Long Island in some form or another. The time to prepare is now, according to the American Red Cross, who joined local and county officials on the Long Beach boardwalk last week — nearly a decade since Hurricane Sandy devasted the area. “What an appropriate location to help get the message out about the importance of being prepared for hurricane season,” said Stacey Sweet, a Red Cross board member. “It takes just one storm to seriously disrupt and devastate our communities. The need to get our friends, families and neighbors ready has never been more important than it is right now.” The Long Island chapter of the Red Cross has been doing its part to get ready, its director, Joe Spaccarelli, told reporters. That includes updated response plans developed with local first responders, as well as staff training and exercises, all while replenishing relief supplies across Long island. But the best preparation starts at home, with people ensuring their friends, families and neighbors are prepared for major storms. Everyone should have an evacuation plan in case they need to leave or are separated from their families, Spaccarelli said, as well as an emergency kit and at least one gallon of water per person per day. The kits, he added, should contain nonperishable food, a flashlight, a battery-powered radio, a first-aid kit, hygiene items, medications, a cellphone charger, extra cash, and copies of important papers. It’s also imperative to stay up to date on weather-related orders from local officials, Spaccarelli said, which can be found in the Red Cross’ emergency smartphone app, which provides users with real-time weather alerts and tips. “We certainly know here in this community that all it takes is one storm,” said Jackie Bray, commissioner of the state’s homeland security and emergency services division. “But we’re also seeing more frequent and more intense weather events, and particularly tropical weather.” There were 21 named storms — with sustained winds of at least 39 mph — in the most recent hurricane season, which ended last November, making it the thirdmost active year on record, according to NOAA. Seven of them became hurricanes, four deemed major. This year’s season is predicted to be much of the same.

MEMBERs of AMERiCAN Red Cross were joined by local officials for a hurricane-preparedness news conference in Long Beach last week. This year’s storm season is expected to be as busy as 2021’s, meaning some of that havoc could reach Long Island.

Getting your kit together Surviving a storm means ensuring you have everything you need in case your access to essentials like electricity and water are cut off. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security recommends including the following items in a basic disaster supply kit: ■ Water ■ Food ■ Battery-powered or hand-cranked radio JoE sPACCARElli, ThE director of American Red Cross on Long Island, says preparation begins at home, bolstered by emergency kits filled with all the essentials to help get a family through a storm. “That means for us at the state, that we need to lean forward and do everything we can to have active, engaged, daily, robust work communications and preparedness planning with all of our localities and all of our counties,” Bray said. And there are “three things to know” if a storm hits, she added. One is to know your risk — whether streets are flooded or if a storm surge will hit. Second is to make a plan, which should include a “go bag” with water and medications so no one is “scrambling for the items you need” when the storm hits. And lastly, Bray said, it’s important to stay informed with local news and weather “so we’re ready.”

When Sandy hit Long Island in October 2012, it was the strongest storm that season, moving President Barack Obama to declare a “major disaster” in the area. More than 13,000 U.S. flights were canceled, and power and transportation systems in New York state sustained damage upward of $18 billion. While some might call Sandy a oncein-a-lifetime kind of storm, Long Beach city council vice president Liz Treston says the lessons we learned from that hurricane shouldn’t be forgotten as we prepare for 2022. She shared what she called the “four C’s” — “community, collaboration, cooperation and, most importantly, communication.”

valedictorian elise smith and Salutatorian Karina Rios supported each other in their efforts to achieve the highest GPAs in Freeport High’s class of ’22.

Smith and Rios are headed to Stony Brook in the fall continued from front page season. Rios was also in the Science Honor Society and Spanish Honor Society and was a section leader of the marching band, where she played the flute. Rios said she has also participated in numerous music competitions, including playing the piano at Carnegie Hall as a member of the New York Musician Center a few years ago, and has done a few autism and lupus walks for community service. In the classroom, Rios worked hard, also taking 10 AP classes, five this past year. She took many of the same classes as Smith, as well as calculus, psychology and biology. Rios admitted she too is a bit of a procrastinator, but she also set priorities for herself, saying she had to sacrifice free time and time with friends sometimes to get her work done. Rios prioritized herself to a 108.3 weighted GPA. “If you really want it, you have to make sacrifices, and I have worked for

this my entire life,” she said. “After I found out, I was over-the-moon excited.” Both Rios and Smith said that the high school’s senior class was very competitive, which helped push both to work harder, though Rios said her biggest competition was with herself. “Everyone is accountable for their own education and it’s up to you to get to where you want to be,” she said. “I was always in competition with myself. If I got a 98 last year, I was getting a 99 this year.” Smith and Rios will both be attending SUNY Stony Brook University in the fall, with hopes to live together on campus. Having the security of going to school with a best friend helped aid the decision, according to Smith. Smith will be majoring in psychology with intent to become a child psychologist. Rios will be majoring in biology, looking toward becoming a pediatrician and the first doctor in her family. Both are interested in playing for the club lacrosse team.

StAte Sen. keVin Thomas cut the ribbon for the official opening of the Nautical Mile Festival. Thomas will now represent Freeport in the State Legislature.

Merchants, families mingle at Mile Festival “We did pretty well at the festival,” Rednael said. “We didn’t sell out, but we didn’t go home empty-handed, either.” George Schultze, yet another Freeporter, stood under his canopy, surrounded by djembe drums, brightly designed djembe bags, and plaques with spiritual symbols. His business is called Spirit Sky Drum. “I do workshops all year, all over Long Island and New Jersey, at libraries, assisted living, nursery homes, teens, school kids,” Schultze said. “I give private lessons and build drums.”

continued from front page Avenue, which was closed to traffic, colorful vendors’ canopies lined the west side of the street, enticing sign-ups for Girls Scouts; offering organic personal products, soaps and hair care; displaying artistic creations, from woven djembe drum totes to cleverly carved wooden frames and letters; and even offering science fun for kids, with kits containing genuine fossils. “We have over 80 vendors,” Recreation Center Director Vicki Dinielli said, speaking at the noon kickoff for the event in front of Hibiscus on the Mile. “I think this festival’s going to be one of the best we’ve had in many years.” “I put in a bill up in Albany the other day and I asked for good weather,” joked Mayor Robert Kennedy. “Both houses approved it!” State Sen. Kevin Thomas smiled in agreement. The recently approved new districting lines have brought Freeport under Thomas’s representation rather than Sen. John Brooks. “Freeport, let me hear it! Long Island is back!” Thomas said to residents who gathered around. “I’ll be representing Freeport, and I am so happy to be here, to have a partner like Mayor Kennedy here. We’re going to make this one of the best festivals on Long Island.”

Several vendors were either based in Freeport or had strong Freeport ties. “It’s nice to be back in my hometown,” said Raquel Rodriguez, 52, who was born and raised in Freeport but now lives in Oceanside. Her business, Green Lotus, sells tasteful candles and accessory jewelry through Instagram and Facebook. “This is my first Nautical Mile festival. The weather is gorgeous.” Under a blue canopy, Joseph and Katie Frumento did a brisk business selling

SpArkle on StAge, Freeport’s youth theater group, performed on the Mile in the space next to its new home on Woodcleft Avenue. Katie’s self-designed cups, shirts, and personalized gifts. “We moved into Freeport almost five years ago,” said Katie, who is 32. “We bought our first home here on Sterling Avenue. Freeport’s a great town.” A few vendors down, Zakiya Cush, of the Stearns Park neighborhood of Freeport, presided over decorative china platters loaded with a variety of cookies, delicately frosted cake pops, rectangular cakes, and muffins. Her business is called Grand-Mére, which is French for grandmother, in honor of the distinctive cuisines she developed from her mother and her Guyanese grandmother. “During the pandemic,” said Cush, “we saw that there was a need for treats and goodness and I thought, hey, why not start a business to fill that need? And since no one could really go out, I just developed our e-commerce and decided to ship everywhere.”

From a rented space at A La Carte, a commercial kitchen in Lynbrook, Cush and her team ship cookies, cakes, pies, and their own ground coffee nationwide. Freeporter Cathy Ford could barely keep up with the demand for her bottles of Total Hot Sauce—Red Garlic, Pharaoh’s Pepper, Mango Habanero. “We started early in 2020, and stopped for a while when the pandemic shut everything down,” Ford said,.“Now you can go to our website online, or find us on Facebook and Instagram, but we do have a physical space in the village. I love engaging with people.” Another Freeport business licensed during the pandemic is Omega Sun, which sells hair care products. Its proprietors, Rednael Celestin and her husband, Quincy Celestin Sr., juggled customers with their youngsters, Quincy Jr., age 7, and Hailey, age 9 months.

The established businesses did well that day, including the River House Grille, where 6-foot-5-inch former NBA star Latrell Sprewell towered above customers lining up to get his autograph. Freeport’s own youth theater group, Sparkle on Stage, celebrated its grand opening. Director Robyn Workman realized the dream of having a permanent space for her group at last. She and her young crew, with the help of parents and the members of the Long Island Arts Council at Freeport, set up their roomy indoors with Sparkle on Stage t-shirts on racks as well as a nicely equipped performing space. But the lovely weather allowed them to perform outdoors that morning, next to their new home, in the space loosely termed The Grove. The young performers confidently sang and danced their way through songs from the 1990 musical “Once on This Island,” by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. As their voices sailed through the sound system, passersby stopped to listen and watch. Perhaps, as Vicki Dinielli said, it really was one of the best Nautical Mile Festivals in years. Without question, it was a restorative day where Freeporters renewed the activities that make their village special.

Curtain rises on ‘The Color Purple’ Award-winning musical gets its Long Island debut By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

mong the many success stories illustrating Long Island’s comeback from the pandemic is Plaza Theatrical Productions. A longtime community theatre stalwart, it went professional last year, with its new division, Plaza Broadway Long Island — all of it under the steady hand of Kevin Harrington, not only Plaza’s producer and director, but also its founder. Operating under a union contract with Actor’s Equity Association, Harrington is focused on bringing professional Broadway-level productions — accompanied by a live orchestra — to their theater, located at the Elmont Memorial Library on Hempstead Turnpike. The inaugural season of Nassau County’s first ELLISHA MArIE Equity theater included the RodSofia in gers and Ham‘The Color Purple’ merstein classic “South Pacific” presented this past October. Now audiences can get a look at “The Color Purple,” making its Long Island premiere. The fast-paced musical — which runs through June 12 — is a story of hope, a testament to the healing power of love, and is a celebration of life. The score features a variety of musical genres like jazz, ragtime, gospel and blues. Based on Alice Walker’s Pulitzer Prizewinning novel — itself turned into the heavily Oscar-nominated 1985 film from Steven Spielberg film — “The Color Purple” it is an inspiring family saga that tells the unforgettable story of a woman who, through love, finds the strength to triumph over adversity and discover her unique voice in the world. “’The Color Purple’ is a universal story,” Harrington said. “It focuses on human emotions and empathy, which transcend all ethnicities.” This production stars Elmont’s Ellisha Marie as Sofia — the role played by Oprah Winfrey in the 1985 film. As a child, Marie — whose parents immigrated here from Trinidad and Tobago — only wanted to sing and perform. She performed every song she could for family and friends. Marie was urged at Elmont Memorial High School to audition for the school musical “Annie.” Despite some apprehension, Marie mustered up the courage to audition. It was from there she knew that’s where she belonged. After graduating high school, Marie

She has since performed on stages in and around New York City, but is now making her return to Elmont for “The Color Purple.” It’s a play that resonates with Marie, she said. And she’s no stranger to it, appearing as Church Lady during a run in White Plains. “It is such an honor and privilege to be chosen by the theatre gods to perform in this iconic and timeless musical,” Marie said. “It means the world to me and is truly a defining moment in my career to be cast again … and to perform in my hometown, where my love for theatre and the arts began.” Critics have cited this version of “The Color Purple” as similar to the acclaimed 2015 Broadway revival, which introduced Cynthia Erivo and won Tony Awards for Erivo and the musical itself. “I am delighted to be presenting this

Harrington’s version is more in-line with the latest revival “with its streamlined approach” that makes it both “captivating and powerful”. “One area particularly powerful is when the character Shug Avery tells Celie that she is beautiful,” Harrington said. “This is a transformative moment in the show as Celie, who has such low selfesteem, suddenly realizes that she is a beautiful person and begins to gain respect from others. I am struck by the impact of simple words on the lives of

other people.” Marie can’t help but notice the cultural significance of the story, even 40 years after Walker first published her novel. “We are living in a post-pandemic world where people are trying to discover who they are, trying to heal from grief and the trauma of racial and gender divides and inequalities,” she said. “’The Color Purple’ challenges our perspectives on life, love, family and forgiveness, and guides us through the journey of self-discovery. “Theatre and the arts have always been a magnificent platform to bring everyone together and help us navigate our way to the root of the issues and discover the truth of who we are.”

Empire State Games return to create history By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com

After a two-year pause, nearly 900 athletes returned to the field of competition for the Nassau County Empire State Games for the Physically Challenged last week. “It’s like a field of dreams for this population,” said Susan Gordon Ryan, the Empire State Games founder, who organized the first event in 1985. Athletes between 5 and 21 competed at the 36th annual games in a variety of sporting events and challenges, including tack races, discus throwing, long jumps, wheelchair basketball, swimming, table tennis and archer. Since its inception, the Empire State Games have encourage skill development and sports participation, as well as foster sportsmanship and camaraderie for physically challenged individuals. Ryan developed the Empire State Games after Nassau County hosted the 1984 Paralympics. She worked with state officials to launch a program designed to continue that competitive tradition at a much more local level. Today, New York remains the only state to host a program for the physically challenged. “We wanted New York to become a training ground for young, physically challenged athletes,” Ryan said. “And this had never done before.” Nearly 250 athletes showed up for those first games in 1985 — a number which exploded to 1,400 athletes just two years later. But the Empire State Games hit a stumbling block in 2010 after the state cut funding, requiring a fundraising effort led by then-county executive Ed Mangano to keep the event afloat. And then there was the coronavirus pandemic, canceling the games the past two years. That led to signifi-

cant uncertainty about how many athletes would participate this year with the Empire State Games’ return. The Mitchell Athletic Complex and Nassau Community College have hosted the event stretching back to the beginning. And providing transportation to these venues, Ryan said, is key for driving turnout among the physically. The Nassau Inter-County Express local bus system has provided transportation to and from the event for athletes — who typically stay in dorms at Hofstra University in the leadup to the games — for the past decade. “You’ve got to be part of the community,” said NICE chief executive Jack Khzouz. NICE bussed 45 athletes from Hofstra to the two event venues in vehicles specifically outfitted to fit a number of mobility devices. The athletes were assisted on and off the buses by volunteers. “Anytime anybody needs to go anywhere, we’re there for them,” Khzouz said. “For that weekend, they’re the stars, and we’re there to cheer them on.” The 36-year journey has included lots of ups and downs, but the goal of the Empire State Games has never changed. While some who have competed in past events have gone on to compete at the Paralympics, many others are focused on fitness. Still, the impetus of the event has always been creating new social channels while building self-esteem, Ryan said. Development in these areas — and the bond formed between event volunteers and athletes over the course of three days — is the most important aspect of the Empire State Games. “It’s this constant transmission of love, attention, joy,” Ryan said. “It’s just a special place.”

LIRR’s Grand Central connection gets closer By JUAN LASSO jlasso@liherald.com

From a project nearly 25 years in the making, commuters looking to connect with Manhattan through the Long Island Rail Road will soon have a new option: Grand Central Terminal. The new underground train station — officially dubbed Grand Central Madison — offers Long Island riders a straight shot to the Manhattan’s East Side between 43rd and 48th streets. Gone will be days of needing Penn Station on the West Side to get into downtown. The East Side Access Project, as it’s called, is LIRR’s most expensive project to date, clocking in at more than $11 billion. But it’s an investment, officials say, will completely revamp the way commuters ride the rails. At least that’s the message Catherine Rinaldi sought to bring home to a crowd of business leaders and advocacy groups last week during a presentation hosted by the Long Island Advancement Economic and Development Committee. “History is being made around us at a time when massive transformative projects that have been long promised are finally coming to fruition,” said Rinaldi, LIRR’s interim president. “Constraints that have long been a ceiling on how much service the Long Island Rail Road could offer are falling away.” Crews are busy with what Rinaldi

At A BUSiNeSS and innovation leadership conference hosted by the Long Island Advancement Economic and Development Committee, Long Island Rail Road interim president Catherine Rinaldi discusses the East Side access project to business leaders. describes as “readiness activities,” like testing train systems and conducting pilot runs. But once service is in full operation, officials with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority expect nearly half of LIRR commuters — more than 160,000 — to use Grand Central Madison. The additional transit line could shave off 40 minutes of their daily commute while removing some of the commuting strain and crowding felt at Penn Station. Even more, officials believe it will close the time gap for riders who currently arrive at Penn Station on the West Side only to need the subway or bus to get jobs or other destinations on the East Side. “Having a robust service into a second

terminal” at Grand Station also “allows for operations to continue if there’s any sort of disruption at Penn,” Rinaldi said. “And it’s going to minimize the disruptions with Amtrak’s East River tunnel project.” When all of that is done, Grand Central will become a transfer point between LIRR and Amtrak, making it possible for businesses in Queens and Long Island to attract prospective employees from the Bronx and points north, Rinaldi said. “It’s going to attract Westchester residents to Long Island beaches and wineries,” she said. “It’s going to attract Long Island residents to Hudson Valley hiking destinations in the fall.” But commuters who’ve organized their

regular commute around Penn Station since, well, forever, may face a bit of a learning curve. MTA officials say they’ve kept that in mind, unveiling preliminary train schedules for its 11 different branches once Grand Central is up and running. The schedules are still in a bit of flux at the moment, with information and public comment sessions continuing over the summer. These timetables are to give riders a sense of the “magnitude of service increases” and new travel options available, Rinaldi said. But it also gears them up for what changes lie ahead in trying to adapt to new commuting patterns. Take, for example, the doubling of morning peak-hour trains heading to the city on the East Rockaway branch, with a significant increase of eastbound trains between 7 and 8 p.m. More than half of those services will run to Grand Central, Rinaldi said, with the remaining ending up at Penn Station. There are also some service cuts planned for morning rush trains bound for Penn Station, while many trains originating from the major terminals will no longer have scheduled connections at Jamaica. “Change is change,” Rinaldi said. “But I would say to (skeptics) to keep their powder dry and have a look at the schedule and see how the new ways of offering service on the Long Island Rail Road could ultimately benefit them.”

Freeport publiC SChoolS Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham was ready to take off in a U.S. Navy Blue Angels Fighter Jet.

Superintendent Kuncham flies with Blue Angels On May 27, Freeport Public Schools Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham had the distinct honor and privilege to be one of two civilians, from among approximately 332 million Americans, to fly in the back of a U.S. Navy Blue Angels Fighter Jet. “I am honored to have been chosen for this unique experience,” Dr. Kuncham said. “It was truly a humbling experience that I will always cherish.” Dr. Kuncham qualified for the honor to participate in the Navy Flight Demonstration Squadron Backseat Rider Program as a Key Influencer, one who helps to shape attitudes and opinions of youth in their communities that will have a lasting and significant impact. The ultimate goal of the Blue Angels Key Influencer Program is to promote a culture of excellence within the community and inspire youth to work hard toward achieving their goals. Flying these

well-deserved Key Influencers promotes not only the Navy and Marine Corps, but the culture of excellence the Blue Angels strive to uphold. Following an in-depth flight briefing, Dr. Kuncham joined Blue Angels Pilot Lt. Griffin Stangel for the flight of a lifetime. During the 45-minute flight, the pilot conducted a series of breath-taking gravitydefying maneuvers, achieving a maximum force of 7.2 Gs. In addition to family and friends, Dr. Kuncham invited three members of the Freeport High School NJROTC to attend the event: Commanding Officer Jillian Neblett, who will be attending the U.S. Naval Academy in the fall, Executive Officer Jamael Johnson and Command Master Chief Justin Moran. Upon completion of the flight, Lt. Stangel presented Dr. Kuncham with a commemorative plaque.

Q. We’ve always had window air conditioners, and want to get central air. It’s quieter, and we get our windows back. We just want your opinion as to whether it’s worth it. We realize we’ll have less room in our attic, and we think we’ll lose some space in closets where the ducts go from the attic through the second floor to the first floor. We got an estimate that was pretty expensive, $15,000. Do you think it’s worth it?

A. To recap, you are required to obtain a building permit, which includes multiple steps, from filing a site plan showing the location of the outside condenser unit; to an attic plan, showing how the fan unit is mounted, with a location for the condensation drain pan; to information on whether the home is in a flood zone, and how the onte eeper outside unit will be mounted above the base flood level. You will also need an electrical certificate and final inspection for an electrically powered system, as well as a plumbing permit if the system is gas-fired. Your taxes will increase, along with your energy bills. Window units are the least costly system, but are generally unsightly — but you avoid the tax increase, the building permit process and expenses and the disruption to the home, including loss of valuable access and storage space in the attic and closets. A split system, where you have a wall-mounted unit that can also deliver heat, is another alternative, but does require an outside condenser and a permit. A tax increase is likely, but much less than a central air system. If you’re handy, you may be able to install the split system unit yourself. I have friends and family who have purchased their own split system units online and installed them by themselves. Most importantly, do not attempt to do new electrical work for the dedicated service and cutoff switch required for a split-system, wall-mounted unit if you have no training or knowledge of the electrical portion of this installation. Unless you are using the previously installed outlet and a cutoff switch that would be in place for a window unit you are replacing, contact a licensed electrician to do this work. Safety is extremely important. Follow all instructions and ask qualified people for help, where necessary. Remember, there are issues that most people will tell you the wrong information about, like permits, zoning, plumbing and electrical. I’ve seen the results of illegal work many times, because I receive calls to inspect the damage and work to legalize after a fire or flood, or when someone receives a violation. It is most disheartening when I’m looking at work that caused a fire that displaced a family or, worse, caused a death. Putting condensers in a side yard instead of the rear yard has led to expensive and time-consuming zoning variance hearings and permits. Avoiding the permit now can be much worse later. Good luck!

Answers

to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

don’t really follow baseball anymore. As a rabid Yankees fan who devoured everything about the game for nearly 40 years, I never thought I’d say that. But I’ve ashamedly had to repeat it a lot lately. That’s because baseball has become completely unwatchable. Once team front offices were taken over by Ivy League geeks, the game took a horrible turn for the worse. The sad devotion to analytics has sapped baseball of all the things that once made it great. Nowadays, it nicK doesn’t matter if you strike out over BuglionE 200 times, so long as you can hit the ball over the fence. (Nonsense.) A walk is just as good as a base hit. (It isn’t.) And an out is just an out, so never give them away. (No more sacrifices, squeezes or stolen bases — how fun.) And that’s not the only thing that stinks, in my opinion. I hate how emotionally and physically fragile players have become. I despise the superimposed strike

zone on TV that’s turned everyone into an armchair umpire. I can’t stand instant replay. The shift drives me insane, but not nearly as much as that stupid runner who starts on second during extra innings. But the issues go even deeper than that. One recent Saturday night, I had a rare hankering to watch the Yankees. But not this year’s team. No, I watched the Yankees play the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game Seven of the 1952 World Series on YouTube. That game demonstrated all that was once glorious with our national pastime but is now gone. The pitchers hurled like they were double-parked — even in the final game of the season, with everything on the line. I can only remember two batters stepping out of the batter’s box the entire game. I timed just 11 seconds in between pitches of a Johnny Mize at-bat for the Yankees. In today’s game, thanks to all the step-outs, practice swings, re-securing of batting gloves and adjusting of helmets, you can expect at least double or triple that much time to pass from pitch to pitch. I got to see Phil Rizzuto bunt, Mickey

Mantle homer and Jackie Robinson give pitcher Allie Reynolds fits when Robinson reached third base in the fourth inning. The Ebbets Field crowd gasped every time he juked toward home, but he never went. There was no inane banter between broadcasters Mel Allen and Red Barber, probably because there were no massive lulls in action. With a combined 12 strikeouts and walks, the game lasted just 2 hours and 54 minutes. The Yanks won, 4-2. The last Yankees game I attended — Game One of the 2019 American League Divisional Series — featured 39 strikeouts and walks and took a whopping 4 hours and 15 minutes. I remember marveling at the time that I’d never attended a Yankees playoff game — and I’d been to many — and felt bored. The average length of a baseball game in 1952 was 2 hours and 25 minutes, according to Baseball-Reference.com. In 2021 it was 3 hours and 10 minutes. Games have become so long that even the most devoted fans can’t watch the whole thing. My stepson Jake is about as big a baseball guy as any 16-year-old. He loves the Yankees and follows them religiously, but

n the 1952 World Series, the pitchers hurled like they were doubleparked.

even he can’t watch an entire game. He usually follows the updates on his cellphone and watches something else. When there’s a potential rally, he’ll turn the game on. So, essentially, watching baseball has become a passive experience, like waiting for a baby to be born. My lack of interest is part of an alarming national trend. Baseball attendance and TV ratings have steadily declined over the past decade. One New York Times contributor recently even went as far as to propose placing Major League Baseball under the auspices of the Library of Congress or the National Park Service, lest it fold one day and be forgotten forever. While I think that’s a bit hyperbolic, the game certainly has its problems. But they’re easily fixable. If MLB wants me to tune back in, I have a few suggestions for the players. Stay in the box and swing. Put your foot on the rubber and throw. Make contact. Choke up when there are two strikes. Protect the plate. Go the other way. Steal a base. Sacrifice a runner over. Try to hit .300. Move the game along! Or pretty soon, nobody will be watching. Nick Buglione is a teacher, a freelance journalist and a former editor of the East Meadow Herald.

High season for online hucksters and frauds

ave you ever fallen for a scam? In the old days, for which we can only feel nostalgia, there was the kind of sweet three-card Monte hustle on the streets of New York, the infamous sales of Florida swampland, and penny-stock offerings guaranteed to land a windfall. Sometimes, back in the day, there was the more sophisticated scam telephone call from a relative you might not remember who loved your mother, remembers her name and, by the way, desperately needs money wired immediately RAnDi for emergency surKREiss gery. Oh, it does go on and on. Getting caught in the web of fraud sometimes speaks to our own greed. We want to make a lot of money without working for it, and we are willing to be fooled into thinking it can happen. Some of us are also remarkably gullible. We have “sucker” written large on our backs, and there are folks out there ready to take us up on it. There have been the notorious Ponzis and Madoffs and the likes of Anna Sorokin, who posed as an heiress to dupe rich friends, and, of course, legends like Elizabeth Holmes, the Theranos founder,

who wanted to be the next Steve Jobs but instead faces sentencing in September on wire fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud. Grifting has always been a part of the American landscape. Sometimes a certain romance has been associated with bigtime fraudsters, a grudging nod to their ability to run a con. Victims rarely appreciate this side of the crime. People in our own communities suffered life-changing losses from Bernie Madoff ’s crimes. What appalls me is the epidemic of cybercrime. Every single day, even multiple times a day, we receive emails and texts that try to trick us into revealing vital information that can then be used to steal identities, get into bank accounts, and otherwise wreak havoc with our financial stability. It is organized, and it is sophisticated. Despite all of our double-verification routines and firewalls, the bad guys keep knocking at the door. Among my various tics and tocks, I never included paranoia, but I admit, lately I am suspicious of nearly everything that comes my way online. There’s a random text from someone I know but haven’t spoken to in a few years. “How about getting in touch?” it says. It could

be a genuine text, but probably not. AOL writes to me nearly every day, sometimes several times a day, saying it will shut down my account by a certain date if I don’t write back immediately with various information the company needs. Bushwa! I get calls from insurance “specialists” and Medicare “advisers” and premier bank card alerts and Yahoo yahoos, and someone in the U.K. who wants to send me $20,000, and someone else who writes, “Confirmation needed immediately,” and texts from my real credit card company, saying there’s a hold on my card, except there isn’t, and I have to call the company to find out that the text didn’t come from them. I think it affects your sense of safety in the world to always be swatting away fraud attacks. We’ve come to accept fake news and alternative facts, but the online scamming feels personal. Don’t we all want to trust our community? Apparently, the kinder, gentler time of the unlocked back door has passed. Hypervigilance is our default mode. The lowest of the low have come out since Covid. According to Phishing.org, people send emails pretending to be representatives of the Federal Emergency

y credit card company texts to say there’s a hold on my card, but there isn’t.

Management Agency, offering money for the funerals of family members who died in the pandemic. There’s one hitch: You must give them personal information or send them money to get the money. It’s a scam. There’s a real FEMA funeral program, but that one offers money without asking for any. After every national tragedy, after mass shootings, hurricanes and floods, there’s always a blossoming of fraud across the land. People seize the opportunity to profit on the grief and loss of others. According to Phishing.org, be suspicious if: ■ You’ve “won the lottery.” ■ You recognize the sender, but it’s someone you don’t talk to. ■ A message sounds scary or tells you to “act now.” ■ A message contains unexpected or unusual attachments. They may contain malware, ransomware or another online threat. The grifters and fraudsters are often smart enough to make money the oldfashioned way, but that’s not how they roll. Their payoff is the free ride, getting over on the “mark.” Be careful out there, my friends. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

The pandemic isn’t over quite yet

here was no day darker in New York than April 9, 2020. On that day, Covid-19 claimed 1,052 lives, according to Johns Hopkins University, bringing the total number of deaths in the state to nearly 11,000 in just three weeks. The prospect of losing 1,000 people a day was just unfathomable. But on that day it became real, as the coronavirus raged out of control, with very little hope of stopping it. Yet we were fortunate. The number of deaths each day dropped from there, dipping under 100 by the end of May. While our losses would creep up a couple more times — both in early 2021 and at the start of this year — we would never come anywhere close to the number of souls lost on April 9, 2020. Today, outside of seeing people here and there wearing masks, the coronavirus has seemingly become a fleeting memory. Hospitals aren’t overwhelmed. Treatments are encouraging. And we have vaccines. But the pandemic isn’t over. And we have to stop acting like it is. No, we don’t need to lock down or stay six feet away from everyone. But we can’t keep acting like it’s 2019, either. Every three months, a committee of global experts associated with the World Health Organization meets in an online videoconference to determine whether or not the pandemic is still a pandemic. The committee met in April for the 11th time, and arrived at the same conclusion it did

in its 10 previous meetings: We are still in a pandemic. Even with vaccines, treatments, and lower hospitalizations and fatalities, there is still a great deal of concern about what’s next for the coronavirus. Mutations — which create the many variants we’ve seen over the past 18 months — top that list, because no one knows what the next version of Covid will be like. The primary variants since Delta have been highly transmissible, but not as dangerous — especially to those who are fully vaccinated and in generally good health. But it’s impossible to say what the next variant will bring. And with thousands of people still getting infected each day in New York alone, there will be a next variant, and more after that. Many of us have brushed off even being infected, because the dangers seem no greater than the flu these days. But we couldn’t be more wrong. Those who are older or immuno-compromised are still in grave danger if they are exposed to the virus. And the rest of us still face very serious long-term complications, like long Covid, which can lead to a number of health issues — some outright debilitating. Experts estimate that as many as 30 percent of people who had Covid — even if they were asymptomatic — will develop long Covid. With about 85 million confirmed Covid cases already, that could equate to tens of millions of people who are, or will be in the near future, suffer-

ing from long Covid. With few if any alarms sounded over hospitalizations and deaths, it’s no wonder we’ve become complacent. One poll, conducted by Axios-Ipsos last month, found that a little more than a third of Americans feared that returning to a preCovid lifestyle would be a “significant risk.” That means the other two-thirds were not concerned. We don’t have to lock ourselves inside our homes, but we must remain vigilant. Wearing masks around other people, keeping our distance unless absolutely necessary, and staying home when we’re not feeling well can really make a difference. Taking at least an at-home test before visiting someone who could be vulnerable to the disease is just the decent thing to do. And, of course, we can’t forget vaccination — the most important tool we have in ultimately defeating this plague. We don’t have to count too high to get to the number of people now dying in New York each day from Covid complications. But then again, even one death is too many. We have lost nearly 3,900 people in Nassau County. More than 69,000 in the state. And 1 million nationwide — more than the entire population of Delaware, North and South Dakota, Alaska, Vermont and Wyoming. That number is still growing. So we must stay focused, and help one another get through this pandemic once and for all.

letters Save lives, Republicans: Cross the aisle To the Editor: Dear Republican candidates: I am a registered Republican, and I espouse many of the same beliefs as you. However, I, and many like me, disagree with your interpretation of the Second Amendment. Like the First Amendment, the Second should come with constraints based on the common good and common sense. Just as the First Amendment doesn’t give you the right to shout “Fire!” in a crowded theater, the Second Amendment shouldn’t give you the right to obtain military-grade automatic weapons that are designed to kill. Experts can guide you as to what those weapons are, and they should not be made available to anyone but law enforcement or soldiers, under strict penalty. You will never stop murder, which is as old as mankind. But we have it in our power to limit it. Imagine if the

deranged shooters in Uvalde or Buffalo or Parkland or Sandy Hook or countless other locations across our country had pistols instead of automatic weapons, how many lives might have been saved and how much heartbreak avoided.

In the name of God and decency, reach across the aisle, join hands with your Democratic colleagues and show America and the world that we have it in our power to limit the carnage that is now of epidemic proportions in America. In Juda-

opInIonS

don’t know about you, but there hasn’t been one day since the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, when I haven’t cried or given my kids a suffocatingly tight hug. I have spent my entire life in school. I was in high school when the shootings at Thurston High School, in Springfield, Oregon, in 1998, and then, a year later, Columbine, shocked us. In the more than 20 years since, I’ve taught in elementary, middle, high school and college classrooms, where I have practiced lockdown and active shooter GIna drills that feel more and more SIpley futile each year. I was once locked in a windowless classroom for three hours while police negotiated with a student who had brought a gun to school with intent to harm. I can no longer sit with my back to a door, and constantly monitor spaces for shelter — and exits. We need to protect all of our American freedoms. In this constant state of terror, no one is truly pursuing life, liberty and

happiness. David Hogg, survivor of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman High School in Parkland, Florida, in 2018 and a co-founder of March for Our Lives, an organization dedicated to eradicating gun violence, repeatedly tweets that this time it will be different. I so want to believe him. As a social media researcher, I can see the disparity between Twitter activism and the bare mention of the Uvalde shooting in my news feeds in the weeks since it occurred. But just because people aren’t posting about it in neighborhood Facebook groups doesn’t mean that we have forgotten. We’ve been through over two decades of continued violence in America. We are negotiating our third year of a global pandemic. We’re tired, and when you’re tired, you feel helpless. Fred Rogers, known to millions as Mister Rogers, once said that in times of crisis, we need to look to the helpers. You know who some of the biggest helpers in Uvalde are right now? The staff of El Progreso Memorial Public Library. There are not enough psychologists in Uvalde. The Robb Elementary school, which, like all

’m going to march because one day my kids are going to ask me, ‘What did you do?’

Don’t conflate abortion with other issues To the Editor: Re the letter “My body, my choice? Please!” (May 26-June 1): Writer Jane Dantona Grogan put down two women who had previously shared with Herald readers their personal stories about having had abortions. I strongly defend the right of a woman to choose an abortion, but at the same time fully understand a woman’s decision to reject having one. It is a very personal decision for a woman to make, and a complicated one in many situations. The decision belongs to her and to nobody else. In particular, it doesn’t belong to government. In her letter, Dantona Grogan, in a kind of left-handed manner, lets the two ladies off the hook, saying it is “more a commentary on our society,” and then proceeds to address issues unrelated to abortion. She changes the subject and perhaps doesn’t quite realize she has done so. She attacks vaccine shots, preventive Covid testing and illegal immigrants. She even manages to inject fear that society is about to abandon our

elementary schools, provides critical community child care, is no longer open. The librarians are leading story times and singalongs for children during the day. They are bringing in counselors and providing access to telehealth. The Oceans of Possibilities summer reading program is expanding to offer children and their parents a space to pursue joyous activities together. Their doors are wide open to all members of the community to help them heal. Hogg is urging everyone to attend the June 11 March for Our Lives Rally in either Washington, D.C., or in their local community. If one doesn’t exist, he urges you to create one. (There are several scheduled on Long Island and in New York City.) After the shooting in Parkland, 800 local marches were planned. Can we get to 1,000? Can we show them that this time it will be different? I’m not naive. I’m a pragmatist. I know this one rally on Saturday isn’t a panacea; people are still going to die of gun violence in America. But you know what? I’m going to show up on Saturday. I’m not going because I believe the political sys-

tem that continues to fail us will change. I’m going because one day, my kids are going to ask me, “What did you do?” I’m going because we need to collectively grieve, rather than silently carry this tremendous ambient sadness, and the feeling in the back of our minds that every time we go to a school/grocery store/yoga studio/movie theater/night club/mosque/ synagogue/church, this might be the day it happens here. I’m going because even though change can be elusive, resistance is possible. I’m going because, at the end of the day, all we have is one another. Will you join me? Go to March For Our Lives, at MarchForOurLives.com/march22/, to find your local June 11 march. There’s one scheduled at the Nassau County Legislature, in Mineola, at 1:30 p.m., and one in Fireman’s Park, in Great Neck, at 3 p.m. If you can’t go to one, give a recurring donation to fund March For Our Lives. Or give a donation to El Progreso Memorial Library, in Uvalde, at ElProgreso.org/donations, to help it sustain support programs for the children there.

Abortion is personal — a pandemic is not To the Editor: In responding to Jane Dantona Grogan’s letter, I have to say, it’s not rocket science, it’s not like understanding calculus, yet again and again, people on Tv and radio, and readers of the Herald, equate free choice in having an abortion to choosing not to get vaccinated in a pandemic. How much simpler does it have to get in order for people to understand that abortion is a personal experience that physically affects that person and no one else? Though likely to affect the family, the spouse or close friends in an emotional or spiritual way, the physical aspects of that decision basically start and stop with the actual woman involved. Getting vaccinated during a pandemic in which invisible particles are spread through the air and have the potential to infect every innocent bystander within spitting distance of the infected is a different matter alto-

gether. People should not be able to choose to get a vaccine or not if they want to mingle with others. If you’re willing to sequester away from every other human, then by all means, don’t get vaccinated, take a chance on contracting the virus, play Russian roulette with having or not having to be put on a ventilator. But if you insist on going about your daily life as usual, then you shouldn’t have the right to put others in danger.

Do you get in your car and drive 120 miles per hour to the local supermarket with the explanation, “It’s my car, my body, my life and you can’t tell me what to do. It’s a free country”? And why can’t you do that? Because as any firstgrader will tell you, it’s dangerous not just for yourself, but more importantly, for others. EUGENE ARTEMYEFF Glenwood Landing
