School budget hearing is an oddly quiet one

Bob Arkow/Herald

No truck, siren or hoses required Members of the Long Beach Fire Department took to Reynold Channel with a different variety of equipment on May 3 after receiving a call about an overturned boat.

School board budget hearings are often noisy, sometimes even raucous affairs. But at the Long Beach school board meeting Tuesday night, matters were quite different: No one spoke — for or against — the proposed $151.6 million budget, which has a tax levy increase of 1.5 percent.

“May 9, tonight, is the public budget hearing,” Michael DeVito, the district’s assistant superintendent for finance and operations, said at the hearing at Lido Elementary School. “It’s an opportunity for anyone in the community to come up and say

how they feel about it. They can express their feelings about the budget.”

But no one did, perhaps because they had no problems with the proposed spending plan, whose tax increase is well below the state cap. Or perhaps because they thought there was little they could do to change any of the proposals.

The district’s 2023-24 budget is smaller than the current year’s $151.9 million in spending.

“The increase in the tax levy … for next year, is about $1.6 billion, and we’ve rounded — we’re at 1.5 percent,” DeVito said.

“That 1.5 percent increase is after two years of a zero percent Continued on page 4

Porch Fest, a mix of neighborly performances, coming to L.B.

By BReNdAN CARPeNTeR bcarpenter@liherald.com

For years, there have been concerts throughout Long Beach — at the beach, in restaurants and at Kennedy Plaza, to name a few venues. Later this month, music will have a new home in the city: porches.

The first-ever Porch Fest, on May 20, will be an afternoon of live music performed on porches, in driveways and on front lawns. It was created as a way for residents to enjoy live music outdoors while supporting the arts and interacting with neighbors.

The event is being produced by the Long Beach Arts Council,

with support from the city government, the Kiwanis Club, and Artists in Partnership.

Katie Mitchell, who joined the arts council last year, noticed that the group organized a lot of visual art projects and public art displays, but she was interested in adding a musical component.

“Porch fests are actually something that has been gaining a lot of popularity around the country,” Mitchell said. “In our community especially, we have a really lovely, thriving live music community with a ton of musicians. It’s a really tight-knit community with many musician groups in town, and just a lot of talent.”

Mitchell said that porch fests became even more popular during the pandemic, giving people a chance to enjoy live music outside, instead of being crammed into bars and restaurants. And outdoor shows, she added, attract a larger spectrum of music lovers.

“The city does put on the summer beach concerts,” Mitchell said. “But sometimes local talent ends up playing in the bars and restaurants, which isn’t always a family-friendly option.

So this is a really nice way to let people come and enjoy live music for free, and bring their families and be outside.”

The arts council distributed

homeowner applications, to get an idea of how many would be interested and available. Mitchell said that it sparked a great deal of interest, and more than two dozen homeowners submitted applications. Since this is the council’s first try at producing the event, however, members decided to keep it small, and to choose homes that were central-

ized in one area.

The bands will all be playing in a radius of a few blocks, from West Fulton Street to West Penn Street by Washington Boulevard, in the Westholme area. Performances will rotate from 2 to 5 p.m. The shows will take place at 565 Washington Blvd., 465 W. Fulton St., 160 W. Olive St., 128 and Continued on page 7

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Islands.

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

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

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

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

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

Laura Gillen announces plans to run again

By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

I

n a surprise announcement only months after losing her re-election bid to represent the Fourth District in Congress, Democrat Laura Gillen said Wednesday morning that she plans to run for the seat she lost to Republican Anthony D’Esposito.

She came out with a blistering attack against D’Esposito, saying he is aligned with the extreme elements of the GOP. Gillen, a Democrat who had been Hempstead town supervisor, lost to D’Esposito in November’s election in what was widely regarded as a Republican sweep on Long Island.

In an early morning statement Wednesday, Gillen said she is running “because public service can be a noble calling that makes people’s lives better; but too many in Washington care about political gamesmanship, sound bites and photo opportunities than actually making real progress for our families.”

Gillen, a lawyer, returned to private practice after her loss to D’Esposito, a former New York City police officer and Hempstead town board member. During the fall campaign, D’Esposito, like other Long Island Republicans, hammered on the theme that Democrats were soft on crime.

In a phone interview, Gillen said she had decided to Herald file photos run for several prime reasons including the continuing DEMocRAT LAuRA GILLEN said Wednesday morning that she plans to run for the seat she lost to Republican Anthony gun violence across the country and the Republicans’ D’Esposito just last year for the 4th Congressional District. position on the debt crisis.

Voting to take place next Tuesday, May 16 continued from front page increase. So we’ve had that tax levy number for three years, and now we’re now asking for a modest increase of 1.5 percent just to keep pace with inflation and some of the cost increases in the budget.”

Administration officials said that the proposal does not include any funding for capital projects, but there is a plan to spend $5.2 million from the capital reserve fund on work at Long Beach High School, the middle school and Lindell Elementary.

The funds would be used to replace and relocate water heating pipes at the middle school, and to install new uni-ventilators for fresh air heating and cooling there; to remove and replace four HVAC units at the high school; and to replace the kitchen sewer line and the sidewalk on the east side of the Lindell school.

“We had some problems in the middle school over the winter with pipes, and we fixed those pipes,” DeVito said. “Now we’re asking to put the remaining pipes that are still in the crawl space above in the ceiling, so that they don’t continue to deteriorate and we don’t have any problems at school next year. That’s the main issue. We have this $5.2 million request, but we’re asking the community for permission to spend it.”

The current budget includes nearly $4.3 million for capital projects.

District officials estimate that they will receive about $16.9 million in state aid, 4.8

School board candidates

School board President Dennis Ryan, Nora Bellsey and Pamela Banks are running for seats on the board. Incumbent Maureen Vrona is not seeking re-election.

Banks has served on several school committees, including the high school curriculum and health and wellness committees, and is a member of the State Education Department Curriculum and Instruction Committee. She was the high school PTA president for three years, and spent seven years as an elementary school board member.

Banks is also involved in the Long Beach community, a member of two civic

associations and the city’s Advisory Board for Seniors. She has been a regular attendee at school board meetings for five years.

Banks said that she wants to make the district one of the leaders in academic excellence. She said she would like to have individualized career path programs designed for students, to enhance the district’s mental health programs, and to keep budgets fiscally responsible without compromising programs.

Bellsey is a 48-year Long Beach resident, and raised her children, all Long Beach High School graduates, here. A retired educator, she said she believes the school board needs an educator’s voice, and that with her career experience, she

Bellsey also wants to focus on the postcoronavirus well-being of students, and to continue to expand vocational training while maintaining a strong college prep program.

One of the rising varsity sports on Long Island is girls’ flag football.

This year, in its second season there will be a Long Island vs Westchester title game and a state championship in 2024.

One of the programs leading the charge is Long Beach High School, coached by Rocky Butler.

“I think we have a great group of girls who are giving as much effort and focus as they can,” Butler said. “They’re learning a brand new sport. They’re super excited and super passionate about it.”

The Marines have 40 girls on their roster, which can be tough to navigate in 7-on-7 football, but that just shows how much interest there is in the program.

“We just continue to try to grow the program as much as we can, so down the road we can keep rocking and rolling,” Butler said. “I think next year we’re going to have a JV team, which will get even more girls involved so that’ll be great.”

This spring’s squad has a wealth of talent that includes starting quarterback Brooke Nielsen, returning starters Jocelyn Bravo and Stefania Robinson, as well as standouts Fabiana Boncina, Emma Larson, Zoe Conway, and Caitlin Reyes.

“We have a bunch of girls who each have their own individual specialties,” said Butler, who is assisted by Lori DeVivio. “I’m happy with what we got as far as the quality of girls on our roster.”

The team is led by defensive specialist Riley Roberts and Isabella Silvestri, who was actually a main proponent of bringing girls’ flag football to Long Beach. “[Silvestri] was the one who kind of started the whole thing. She did such a good job that representatives from the New York Jets picked one person from each program and she ended up winning tickets to the Super Bowl last year, which was pretty awesome,” Butler said.

The sport is taking such big strides, that some girls on Long Island are even being offered scholarships to play flag football at the NCAA level.

Long Beach is currently sitting at 5-5

eMMa larsoN aND the Marines split their first 10 games this season and are clinging to playoff hopes with three games remaining. after a bit of an up and down couple of weeks, but the playoffs are very much still in play.

“We have to get at least two of these last three games to get us in the playoffs,” Butler said. “We have to check in on what the other schools are looking like as far as their record. There’s always a chance if we drop two games we still have a chance to get in.”

The hope is always to get into the play-

offs and make a run at the championship, but Butler wants to make sure the girls are taking it a game at a time.

“The game that’s in front of us, that’s one that we’re focused on. We’re just trying to focus on that one game at a time and seeing if we can put something pretty good together,” he said.

This week Long Beach takes on Lynbrook and East Rockaway in its quest for the playoffs.

“We’re really excited,” Sue Friedman, of the historical society, said. “We have a nice-size porch, and we’ll bring out some folding chairs. We’re looking forward to it.”

Friedman said she also hoped the fest would enhance the museum’s visibility, and attract more visitors. She said the society is still in desperate need of restoration, and added that she hoped the performances would bring people into the museum as well. “We have a lot of events going on,” she said, “and we’re hoping this will bring more people to our events as well.”

Runners make history at L.I. marathon

E

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jordan Daniel, 28, of Westhampton, won the marathon portion with a time of 2 hours, 21 minutes. Jennifer Zopp, 38, of Westchester County, came in first for women with a time of 3 hours, 9 minutes.

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

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“If you understand the community, you police that

community better.”

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

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

Book Review: “Successful Aging”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Best way to treat hearing loss? Prevention

By ROKSANA AMID ramid@liherald.com

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Roksana Amid/Herald

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

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

To that end, unlike other recent exhibits that showcased the museum’s permanent collection, Giordano reached out to contemporary artists who loaned the museum their selected works.

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

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

Can our flat roof be fixed?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your roof can too. Good luck!

S

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

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

Look no further than your local education board.

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

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

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

MARK They have extraordinary NoLAN drive, experience and altruism.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I

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

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

The work is admirable, and often overwhelming.

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

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

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

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

Power, you say? As a volunteer on a

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

local school board?

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

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

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

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

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

As the virus ebbs, rules — and reporting — shift

W

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

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

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

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

Every day, people are still catching and

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

The history of the pandemic in America is grim.

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

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

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

I

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Your school vote matters, so use it wisely

N

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

candidates who are challenging them.

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

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

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

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

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

Loved the letter to D’Esposito

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

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

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

Will we see busloads of migrants?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Before I was taken into the operating

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

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

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

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

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

Small world. I took it as a good sign.

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

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

t

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

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

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

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

LARRy PENNER Great Neck

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Framework by Tim Baker

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

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