Anthony D’Esposito says he’s going to Washington. But as the clock struck midnight, turning Election Day into Wednesday, his Democratic opponent, Laura Gil len, wasn’t quite ready to con cede the 4th Congressional Dis trict race.

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

As Gillen spoke, however, unofficial election returns from Nassau County showed D’Esposito leading her by 8,000 votes, with 87 percent of pre cincts reporting. A half-hour later, the county elections board completed the counting, increas ing D’Esposito’s lead to 10,000 votes. It was 51.9 percent for D’Eposito out of the more than 266,000 votes counted, compared with Gillen’s 48.1 percent.

D’Esposito, a former New York City police detective from

Island Park, appeared to have eked out a victory, and in the pro cess flipped a seat from Demo cratic to Republican control.

“I want to thank each and every one of you in this room,” D’Esposito told supporters in Baldwin. “You’ve worked hard

and you’ve knocked on doors. You’ve made the phone calls. You’ve dug into your pockets to get us across this finish line. We took a seat that’s been in Demo cratic hands for 25 years.”

Community band begins second century

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The Freeport Community Band kicked off its second centu ry of performances around Nas sau and Suffolk counties a little later than expected. And what was to blame? That’s right, the coronavirus pan demic.

Made up of musi cians of various ages and back grounds, the com munity band is an all-volunteer group that welcomes every one from high school teens to elders, ama teurs, professionals — from all walks of life. They hail not just from Freeport and neighboring towns like Baldwin and Oceanside, but also from as far out as Suffolk County and Queens.

port Concert Band, this perfor mance group dates back to 1921 when it was known as the Free port Fire Department Band — something to keep the first responders busy during times when they weren’t battling fires. Bill Dayton con ducted the band until 1971. He was succeeded by Ned Mahoney, who is now the band’s con ductor emeritus. Under his direction, the marching band gradually evolved into a concert band.

“The Freeport Community Band means my connection to music and fills a passion for music that I have always had,” said Joshua Stein, a Woodmere resident and band member since 1989.

But a lot has changed over the past century, includ ing its relationship with the modern-day fire department, which had evolved in its own ways. The band dropped “fire department” from its branding in 2009, and expanded substan tially — from 14 members, to more than 50.

“The band is no longer associ ated with the fire department,” said Barry Howard, the band’s secretary. “It’s a group of older people and younger people, all of whom have an interest in

Andy Lockwood talks college costs

By AlexA AnderwkAvich

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

Host, Judy Goss, host of AWE’s luxury real estate show ‘Behind the Gates,’ former NBC and Fox contributor and QVC host, gave her opening remarks as a collegemom of twins, “My kids just graduated high school in June and started college; so I’ve been through all the ups and downs and the stress and the financial issues — all of the roller coaster moves that we had to get to college finally this year,” she said. “And I’m happy to say that I’m here with someone today that will make that process a lot easier and less complicated and that is Andy Lockwood.”

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

The two have four children themselves. However Lockwood saw the need for better college advisors and prep from his own

experiences going through law school.

“I didn’t choose my career,” the top col lege advisor said. “It’s almost like it found me. I went to law school and ended with over a hundred thousand dollars of debt. Because of this horrible experience of high fees and debt, which is actually noth ing compared to today, I went into this career.”

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

“If you have a younger kid, early deci sion and early action deadlines are some thing to look forward to.” owner of Lock wood College prep said and kicked off the webinar with a piece of advice. “Here’s a pro tip: get everything done over the sum mer. That is my first valuable tip tonight”

Having guidance during the intricate process of the application process can make all the difference. As parents send their oldest children to college for the first time, oftentimes they are both figuring out what to do as you go along and the reality is that many things have changed over the years and you might not know everything that is involved.

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

Goss also asked questions such as get

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

“I thought you just fill out the FAFSA form and pay as much as you can,” Goss remarked towards the end of the webinar. “I’m happy to hear that there are actually ways you can strategize this.”

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

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

College Fair at Freeport High School

Informative workshops and educational seminars for students and parents

Students and their families attending the Bound for College Fair and Workshops filled the gymnasium at Freeport High School on Oct. 19. The primary objective of the college fair was to provide stu dents the chance to speak with college officials face-to-face and learn important details about the college application process, available financial aid, and NCAA athletic scholar ship criteria. More than 80 colleges, universities, technical schools, and military organizations sent representatives.

“It was wonderful to see so many students and their families attending this year’s college fair,” said Director of Guidance Emma Perdomo. “This is a great opportunity for our students to focus on their career goals and to learn more about the college application process and how to suc cessfully apply to colleges that will provide the education they need to achieve their goals.”

Members of the schools National Honor Society were on hand to answer questions and aid fellow classmates as they made their way around the fair. Students and their families also attended a number of seminars as part of the college fair that covered topics including financial aid, how to save for college, NCAA and Athletic Scholarship Workshop, and preparing for the college process.

music.”

Some of them are indeed those who are fresh from bands in high school or even college. “But we also have a group of older folks — like me — who were upon retirement, (and) wanted to give them selves a gift,” Howard added. “And the gift for me was a return to music, the music that I had played back in high school.”

It was set to be a true 100th anniversa ry as 2021 neared. But then the virus came, and everything stopped. In-person rehearsals halted right away, with instructional meetings on Zoom replacing them to keep members in-touch while ensuring they didn’t get too rusty during the lockdown.

“The desire to play was pretty strong,” Howard said. “So, we started again this season in June. But once again, trying to be as careful as we possibly can, and keep playing — hoping that we are all healthy.”

But not even the talented group of musicians were immune to the pandemic swirling around them. They lost Vincent Scire in March 2020.

“Sadly, at the very beginning of Covid, our lead clarinet player — someone we call our concertmaster — succumbed to Covid,” Howard said. “It was a very sad moment, but us playing now is us saying the band will continue.”

Numbers did fall as the coronavirus raged on, but since regrouping this past summer, the community band has slowly

regained traction, recruiting new mem bers.

“Any of the music that we play has been adapted to the concert band style of instruments,” said Howard, “We don’t have violins. Of course, it’s all brass instruments and woodwind instruments. So, the music is usually adapted for it. But there are concert bands throughout the country.”

And yes, those bands are organized — as the Association of Concert Bands, which the Freeport Community Band is an official chapter. The association was started in 1977 and is made up of bands, communities, and businesses that have the resources and the motivation to meet the needs of professional adult instru mentalists who play in and conduct com munity concert bands.

“We’re always looking for people that have had some sort of interest in music in their life,” Howard said. “Maybe they graduated high school, went through col lege then went off and worked in their field, but then decided they wanted to come back and play.”

Dale Allinson was elected the band’s president earlier this year, succeeding longtime leader William Rothchild. Allin son has been a flutist in the band for more than a decade. Although she now lives in East Meadow, Allinson was raised in Freeport and attended Baldwin High School, where she played the flute.

“The band allows me to bring a wide variety of people together,” Allinson said, “all sharing a common interest in music that I have.”

Presbyterian Church for rehearsal. And each season, the band also plays up to four free concerts for the community itself.

“We have all kinds of people in the band,” Howard said. “Professional musi cians, and those who have developed their expertise in other areas like medicine. We have a couple of doctors. We have a cou ple of dentists. We have people who work in corporate America, even electricians and plumbers.

“All of whom had a common interest: They just wanted to get back to creating music.”

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC disrupted the Freeport Community Band’s centenary celebration plans while also stopping the musicians from holding in-person rehearsals. They finally got back together with a new batch of rehearsals at Baldwin’s First Presbyterian Church last summer.

The Bruins, who had dropped eight straight in a series dating back to 1924 and were blanked by the Red Devils Oct. 22, scored on each of their first two posses sions following defensive takeaways and never looked back. Sophomore quarter back Vaughdrea Johnson, senior Cedric Jean-Pierre and junior Shane Mauldin had rushing touchdowns, while junior Jadis Chenet corralled a pair of interceptions.

“It’s a tremendous win for our pro gram,” Baldwin head coach Frank Chi mienti said. “Freeport took it to us a few weeks ago. They were much more physical and shut down our offense. We knew things had to be different this time if we were going to flip the script and our kids rose to the challenge.”

Senior Anthony Byron added 173 yards rushing on 27 carries for Baldwin (6-2), which advances to the semifinals at Hofs tra University for the first time since 2016 and faces two-time defending champion Massapequa on Saturday at 8:30 p.m. No. 4 Freeport, which closed the regular season with a wild 54-52 double-overtime win over Oceanside, finished 4-5.

“It’s always difficult when you lose,” Freeport head coach Russ Cellan said. “Baldwin outplayed us, so credit goes to them. We settled down in the second half and started to play better defense. We cut into the lead but then they scored again in the fourth quarter.”

It was the 83rd all-time meeting between the teams. The Red Devils hold a 51-31-1 edge.

Baldwin picked off Freeport junior quarterback D’Angelo Gordon twice in the opening quarter and built a quick 14-0 lead. “It was D’Angelo’s first two intercep tions of the year,” Cellan said. “He was under a lot of pressure.”

Johnson scored on a 1-yard run and

Jean-Pierre from 2 yards out. Bryon, who had one of the interceptions, tacked on a two-point conversion following the first touchdown. The Bruins had a golden opportunity to increase their lead in the second quarter but fumbled at the 1, and senior Nazair Jean-Lubin recovered for the Red Devils.

Freeport then drove 80 yards to just out side the red zone before stalling on downs, allowing the visitors to maintain a 14-0 lead at the half.

“I thought our defense bending but not breaking there was the most important part of the night aside from our running game,” said Chimienti, who lauded the

relentless defensive efforts of seniors Rod ney Mills, Kwasi Bonsu and Lincoln DaCosta. “There was definitely a mental aspect to it,” he added. “We were inches away from being up three touchdowns so it was important to hold them.”

Freeport struck in the third quarter with Gordon hitting Jean-Lubin on a 24-yard touchdown pass. Gordon also added the two-point conversion run to slice the margin to 14-8.

“There’s such a great culture and coaching staff at Freeport, and they’ve got so many outstanding athletes,” Chimienti said. “We knew it was going to take all 48 minutes.”

Police crack down on unsafe cars on the road

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

The last thing any driver wants is an obstructed view out of their car windows. But it’s the same for the Nassau County Police Department as well — except it’s not looking out, but instead looking in.

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

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

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

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

types of plates.”

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

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

ness districts are safe.”

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

“So, until our officers stop that car, we don’t know it’s a fake plate,” Ryder said. “In the meantime, they’re running red lights. They’re going through (license

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Top businesspeople make a difference

Nassau Council of Chamber of Commerce honors annual slate

By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com

Want to really get involved with the community? That’s easy — join your local cham ber of commerce.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then there’s Luis Lopez, an immigrant from El Salvador who now runs Morgan Delicatessen in Glen Cove with his wife. Steve Adler, who came out of retirement to take on marketing and sales for Servpro of Garden City and Hempstead. And Christine Sweeney, branch manager and director for Webster Bank Levittown Banking Center.

Jorge Martinez

Freeport Chamber of Commerce

It’s probably safe to say Jorge Martinez stays very busy. He’s a longtime Freeport village trustee — a community he has lived in for nearly a half-century — and was a former deputy commissioner for Nassau County’s human services depart ment.

These days he’s the vice president of J&A Group, a commercial mainte nance company.

Martinez works tirelessly to enrich and give back to his community, according to the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, serving on the boards of not only the Freeport Chamber of Commerce, Vision Long Island, and the Woodward Children’s Center.

He’s also earned a number of accolades along the way, including the St. Martin de Porres Award for Leadership from Molloy University, the Hispanic Heritage Award from the Town of Hempstead, and Vision Long Island’s Smart Growth Award.

Leah Tozer might be known for her appearances on HGTV’s “Island Life,” but she remains one of Long Beach’s top real estate practitioners. Mike Govinda has helped companies grow their IT and health care services through his company, Arista Careers, while David Silva spends his day as a financial advisor for Janney,

but then goes home and does everything from coach youth basketball, to helping shape young minds.

Denise Sclafani Daniels continues her family’s successful jewelry business in Lynbrook, while Dr. Evelyn Heredia has changed lives as the owner of Phoenix Family Chiropractic in Malverne. Victo ria Van De Ven runs her own State Farm Insurance Agency in Seaford, while Margo Cargill focuses on corporate and government strategy through her Union dale-based Titanium Linx Consulting, and Rosemarie DeMaio makes Wantagh smile as chief custom cookie designer at Mama’s Custom Cookies.

HUNDREDS GATHERED AT Crest Hollow Country Club in Woodbury Oct. 28 to honor the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce Businesspersons of the Year.

FRANK CAMARANO JR., president of the Nassau Council, says community service starts with the local chamber of commerce. And he practices what he preaches as a longtime leader of the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce.

And businesses were winners as well — like Stellina Ristorante, run by renowned chef Fabrizio Facchini and the Milana family in Oyster Bay.

“Nassau County is back, and we’re open for business,” County Executive Bruce Blakeman told the crowd at Crest Hollow. “Nassau County is committed to partnering with each and every one of the chambers so that every community can thrive, and every downtown business dis trict can do well with no community left behind.”

“We ran a campaign to be proud (of) in a challenging political environment,” Gillen said. “Togeth er, we motivated thousands of Long Islanders to make their voices heard. To stand up for common-sense leadership. And to vigorously defend fundamental rights from assault.”

D’Esposito will succeed Kathleen Rice in representing most of southern Nassau Coun ty at the federal level, the first Republican to do so since Daniel Frisa lost re-election to Carolyn McCarthy in 1996. McCarthy served nine terms before retiring in 2015, and Rice has represented the district ever since.

State Sen. Kevin Thomas will keep his seat in Albany, after defeating challenger James Coll by 18 points.

“The fight has not been easy,” Thomas told supporters Tuesday night. “We are facing unprecedented misinformation, extremism, and even outright violence from the radical right. It isn’t easy, but we will never stop fighting for New Yorkers.”

Coll directed his attention to other Repub licans who were more successful in their statewide races Tuesday night, and said he was proud of the campaign he ran for Senate District 6.

“This is what Nassau County is about,” Coll said. “Thank you for this opportunity. And thank you to all of you. This was the dream of a lifetime, and I appreciate it very much.”

The only race up in the air Tuesday night was the Assembly District 21 contest, in which Republican Brian Curran had just a 270-vote lead over Judy Griffin out of more than 50,000 cast.

Throughout his congressional campaign, D’Esposito stressed the importance of a lim ited, fiscally responsible government. He said numerous times that he would cut wasteful spending in Washington, and that a smallgovernment approach would help tame infla tion.

The campaign trail was not free of jabs back and forth. Democratic campaign litera ture portrayed D’Esposito as an extremist on issues like abortion and guns, claiming he might support a nationwide ban on abortion and allow weapons on New York streets.

D’Esposito denied to the Herald that he would ever support a national abortion ban, but he did attack New York laws that he claimed allow free access to late-term abor tion. On guns, he asserted that the focus of government should not be writing new laws, but cracking down on illegally possessed weapons.

Republicans, meanwhile, linked Gillen to a number of national issues on which they portrayed Democrats as weak. Mailers from the New York Republican State Committee declared that President Biden and Gillen were raising taxes, responsible for the recent national rise in crime, and allowed fentanyl to flood into Nassau County.

Gillen countered by citing her record as town supervi sor, during which time she claimed to have cut taxes. Gil len has also insisted that a tough-on-guns approach can

help to curb crime.

While Rice endorsed Gillen, D’Esposito boasted of his own support from a long list of law enforcement groups and police unions.

Sue Grieco/Herald FORMER TOWN OF Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen did not concede the Congressional District 4 race against Anthony D’Esposito until Wednesday.

Firefighters captivate at Bayview Avenue School

For the 18th year, the third-grade students at Freeport Public Schools’ Bayview Avenue School are participating in the Hooked on Firefighters program.

The program, which begins in the fall and concludes in the spring, is an exciting opportunity for the students. Each third-grade class is assigned a Freeport Village firefighter who will visit the classrooms throughout the year and teach students various lessons on fire safety and prevention through presentations, demonstrations and activities.

This year’s program kicked off on Oct. 13 with students meeting their class firefighter, followed by a tour of a firetruck and all its components. Stu dents were also able to ask questions and speak to their firefighter about all things related to fire safety.

The Bayview Avenue third graders will tour the Nassau County Firefight ers Museum with the Freeport Village Fire Department in the spring, at the completion of the Hooked on Firefight ers program.

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

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

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

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

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

He explained that if you plan from the

very start, then you will have a headstart on yourself as you have planned ahead and set the guidelines for the business to thrive efficiently.

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

can do to increase the value of their com pany.

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

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

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

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

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

STEPPING OUT

with The

Rascals

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

By Mary Malloy

ock legends The Rascals are back on stage for the first time in four years. Their Time Peace Tour 2022 rolls on — with a stop at NYCB Theatre at Westbury on Nov. 13 — featuring two of the group’s legendary original members: Felix Cavaliere and Gene Cornish.

The group (formerly The Young Rascals) is best known for their string of smash hits during the mid-to-late 1960s, including “Groovin,” “Good Lovin’,” “A Beautiful Morning” and “People Got to Be Free.” (The tour is named after their 1968 Greatest Hits album.)

WHERE WHEN

• Sunday, Nov. 13, 7:30 p.m.

• NYCB Theatre at Westbury, 960 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury

• For tickets, visit TheTheatreAtWestbury.com, LiveNation.com, or call (516) 247-5200

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

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

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

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

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

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

A treat: Special guests Vanilla Fudge

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

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

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

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

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

Toubab Krewe

Some music defies categorization. Such is the case with Toubab Krewe, the vibrant North Carolinabased instrumental powerhouse that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. This is a band that actively draws inspiration from whatever source floats into their purview, something they’ve exhibited in their half decade of heavy gigging — including regular appearances at major U.S. festivals like Bonnaroo, High Sierra, Rothbury and Wakarusa — and abroad at such legendary gatherings as Festival In The Desert in Mali. Their globe-hopping propensity has made them an emerging headliner at their hometown’s famous Orange Peel, and a familiar face at similar venues nationwide. Whether on their own or collaborating with luminaries like the Last Poets’ Umar Bin Hassan or Uncle Earl’s Rayna Gellert, Toubab Krewe has already earned the attention and respect of a broad musical community.

Saturday, Nov. 12, 8 p.m. $38, $33, $28. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (516) 767-6444 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

Fire Safety Month Continues

Baldwin fire fighters to raise aware ness for fire safety by teaching kinder gartners last month.

Fire fighters from the Baldwin Fire Department visited kindergartners, first graders, and second graders at the Lenox Elementary School located on 551 Lenox Road in continuance of National Fire Prevention Month and Week, cele brated every October, to raise awareness for fire safety on October 26 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

The School District said firefighters

and school children gathered in the cafe teria for a presentation on fire preven tion measures, like stop, drop, and roll, and what to do in a fire. They were then instructed on the role of firefighters and Operation E.D.I.T.H. or Emergency Drill in The Home.

Students were then able to explore the fire truck in the school parking lot — children had the opportunity to try on fire fighting safety gear, and climb onto the truck.

One more postSandy permit

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

A. After you started with permits for Sandy repair, which led to a per mit for your deck, then electrical and plumbing permits, I suspect you thought you were done, but noooo! This has been a common issue in your municipality. They require a design professional, and the average person imme diately sees dollar signs and gets nervous.

Ask The Architect

Monte Leeper

Your building inspector made it sound simple, and from an inspector’s point of view, at the end of the process, it is simple, but getting there is a little more complicated. While doing second floors and rear additions, one stum bling block to final sign-off includes things as minor as an air conditioning unit. The drawing of plans, retrieving the specification manual from the manu facturer to show energy use, sound output and safety testing make the task not so simple. Most people lose or throw away their manuals. Then, because you’re in a flood zone, you must have an elevation certifi cate and survey from a surveyor (another expense). So it really isn’t so simple.

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

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

The Federal Aviation Administra tion has just closed the comment period for the flying public regard ing the size of airline passenger seats.

They were focused on the wrong seats. The FAA should have been looking at air plane loos. In-flight restrooms have become so small and cramped that they should be equipped with shoehorns.

The company claims that it gives passengers who have reduced mobility the ability to wheel in and safely shift from wheelchair to toilet.

dations comfortable. They only wanted to hear about safety factors. “The FAA is not requesting comments regarding matters … such as how the dimensions of passen ger seats might relate to passenger com fort or convenience,” the agency stated. We can assume they believe the free mar ket will define “comfort.”

In 1986, Con gress passed legis lation requiring the Department of Transportation to create and enforce regulations ensur ing that people with disabilities were treated with out discrimination in a manner con sistent with the safe operation of aircraft and trains. A key part of that task was to make sure airliners had restrooms that were large enough to accommodate dis abled passengers.

RONALD J. ROSENBERG

And now, in an era when jumbo jets like the 747 are being retired and smaller, more fuel-efficient, narrowbody jets are making a comeback, those restrooms can still be smaller than a phone booth. (Does anyone remember phone booths?) One airline industry survey reported that narrow-body lavatories are often as much as 10 inches narrower than they were a decade ago.

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

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

For those with special needs, this often

Refusing to accept the status quo, disabled passen gers filed suit several years ago, demanding that nar row-body aircraft be man dated to have restrooms they could access, and new federal rules will require at least one larger restroom per aircraft to accommodate them. The airlines aren’t happy, because in this era of Covid recovery, they claim the mandate has the potential to cost them billions of dollars in revenue as they remove seats to make room for the wider privy.

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

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

Need a boost? Celebrate your micro-joys

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

■ Climate change is close to becoming irremediable.

■ A recession is looming.

■ Covid may surge this winter.

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

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

I did not turn on the news.

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

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

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

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

How did that work for you? It worked for me for a while, along with deep breathing, and stepping up a self-care routine to battle the political blues. I stopped watching TV news. I turned off news notifications on my phone, and I chose not to read the new dystopian novel by Celeste Ng, which I am sure is fine and literary, but not for me, not right now.

This is the drumbeat we hear:

■ Facts don’t matter to many Americans.

■ Racism is on the rise.

■ Unqualified candidates enjoy wide spread support.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Memories count. One of my best micro-joys this week was looking through some old, and I mean old, photo albums. How dazzling were those family times, especially from this distance!

I rolled on the floor with Lillybee the dog.

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

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

Honor the men, women of the armed forces

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

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

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

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

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

The very first Veterans Day is said to

for politics

To the Editor:

I, for one, am glad that this election season is over. The vitriol, accusations and character assassination by both parties became unbearable. Common ground and common decency were in short supply. I am almost certain that political discourse in our country will continue to take the low road even after all the votes have been tallied.

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

have taken place in Birmingham, Ala bama, in 1947, when World War II veteran Raymond Weeks organized a celebration to honor all those who served in the Atlan tic and Pacific theaters of the war. In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed a law proclaiming that Armistice Day would henceforth be known as Veterans Day.

Today the holiday celebrates all who have served. But despite government assis tance through the U.S. Department of Vet erans Affairs and programs like the GI Bill, many veterans continue to struggle to readjust to civilian life, facing the chal lenges of securing education, employ ment, food and housing.

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

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

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

Volunteer at a VA hospital. You don’t have to have any medical expertise to help. You can even give a lift to those without the means to get around. Visit Volunteer. va.gov to learn more. Volunteer for the American Red Cross, which has been lend ing a hand to those returning from war since World War I.

Help veterans find work. Hire Heroes USA is a nonprofit organization assisting veterans, active-duty military and their spouses obtain employment with career counseling and advice. Go to HireHeroesU SA.org.

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

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

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

Our kids can’t do the math

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

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

ALAN SINGER

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

Likewise, kids today have devices with unimaginable computational power and speed. They just punch in the num bers. As an aging dinosaur, I like to bal ance my checkbook without help to keep my mind sharp, but some days I don’t bother, and I let Excel work the numbers. I’ve used algebra and geometry for dif ferent projects, but I probably could have gotten by in life with very rudimentary math skills. I haven’t used trigonometry or calculus since I left high school.

So why do kids need to study math?

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

More vulnerable students dropped even further behind their peers. A sur vey included with the test found that only half of low-performing fourth-grad ers had regular access to computers dur ing the 2020-21 school year, and a third reported that they didn’t have a quiet place to do school work. Black and Lati no students, who already scored lower than white and Asian students on previ ous exams, experienced the sharpest Covid-related declines. The test results and survey hint that in the near future,

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

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

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

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

But broader “thinking skills” that

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

As a pastor, I am called to minister to those whom Jesus called “the least of his brothers and sisters.” This can be exhilarating, but at the same time frustrating, work. I am also treasurer of the Long Island Council of Churches, which maintains the Freeport Food Pantry. More than once in the past year, we have nearly had to shut our doors for a few days because of a lack of food — that’s the frustrating part. The exhilaration comes when I see hungry families leave the pantry with full shopping carts to sustain them for a few days. There shouldn’t be food pantries in a nation as wealthy as ours, but that’s the reality that we live with in this time. My other exhilaration is that I serve in a missionoriented church. We also support local Head Start pro grams and migrant farm workers and their families on the east end of Long Island. Yes, our efforts are only stopgap measures. But when our politicians have failed us, they are a necessity.

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

transfer to other areas of school and life are most important. Studying math, besides learning how to calculate, stu dents learn to think logically, how to identify and state a problem clearly, how to plan, how to decide on appropriate strategies to find solutions to a problem, and how to reach conclusions based on evidence — in this case, numbers. And math helps us keep score even when cal culators are unavailable. With math we measure money, time and distance. We use it when cooking, balancing a check book, determining whether a bill is cor rect or planning home improvements. Some people are probably better off when kids can’t do math. It’s easier to cheat them. You can pay them less and bill them more. They can’t understand why climate change and rising sea levels are such a threat, or why Republican claims that the 2020 election was stolen are ridiculous. That only makes it clear er that, if the problem persists, the lives of those kids, and our society as a whole, will be much worse off.
