HERALD PERSON oF THE YEAR The Rev. BRian BaRR

Strengthening Long Beach’s community faith By Angelina Zingariello

The Rev. Brian Barr’s early foundation in faith was nurtured by his father, a New York City firefighter turned federal investigator, and a stay-at-home mother who emphasized living in the world as it was while upholding Catholic values. “Church was important to my parents,” Bar said. “Priests, the priesthood, was very much seen as an honorable option for a person in life. So I was lucky — nobody forced me to become a priest. But I knew just from the values of my parents that priests were important, and that they mattered, and they could potentially make a difference.” In honor of the difference he has made in Long Beach, the Herald is e seems to proud to name Barr, the spiritual leader of three Catholic churches on the barbe a very rier island collectively known as Beach good listener, Catholic, its 2023 Person of the Year. which I think Barr, 58, a native of Floral Park, Queens, and one of four siblings, earned lacks in a lot of a degree in industrial and labor relations people. from Cornell University in 1987, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1993 by Bishop John McGann, of the Diocese Alice Jones Nurse, of Rockville Centre. Mount Sinai Barr’s diverse experiences shaped the South Nassau man he is today. Before he came to St. Mary of the Isle Catholic Church in Long Beach, he served as a parish priest at St. Thomas the Apostle in West Hempstead, as a chaplain at St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, and as the director of campus ministry at both Adelphi and Hofstra universities. Arriving in Long Beach 11 years ago, Barr faced the challenges of Hurricane Sandy just 10 days later. “It was kind of a wild entry,” he recalls. “I became a pastor at St. Mary’s, and still am. And then about seven years later, I also became pastor at Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, in Point Lookout. And then a year after that, which is about three and a half years ago, St. Ignatius,” he added, referring to St. Ignatius Martyr Catholic Church. “So now I’m a pastor of all three.” His transition to Long Beach was influenced by the departure of the spiritual leader at St. Mary’s, Bishop Robert Brennan. Eventually, Beach Catholic, an amalgamation of St. Mary’s, Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal, and St. Ignatius, emerged as a collaborative effort to navigate the challenges of coordinating

schedules and services across three parishes. Barr emphasizes the team-driven nature of the collective’s success, acknowledging the dedicated staff and their commitment to service. “We have a great relationship. He’s the best boss I’ve ever had,” Gerri Maquet, the parishes’ director of religious education, said of Barr. “The reason why he’s a great leader is because he elevates his team. He gives us enough room to do what we need to do — he trusts us. He puts a lot of trust into the Beach Catholic team, and a lot of faith in us, and because of that we’re able to get things done.” A highlight of Barr’s accomplishments at Beach Catholic is the creation of Beach Mass toward the end of the coronavirus lockdown, an initiative born from the desire to bring the Eucharist to the people in a unique setting — the beach. “Could we find a way to bring what’s most important to us — mainly, the Eucharist, and community — bringing that to where the people are, as opposed to having the people just come to us?” Barr said of his thinking at the time. The initiative started small, on the Monroe Boulevard beach,

but rapidly gained popularity, attracting people from various communities and creating a powerful sense of community and worship. Now it draws hundreds during the summer months on rotating beaches each Sunday. “You feel the power of community, getting 800 people on their knees praying at the same time — where do you get something like that?” Barr said. “We get stories and notes and letters every year, people saying things like, I was riding my bike on the boardwalk, I was going to go for a walk or a run, I saw this crowd of people, and I just kind of was curious. And they stuck around. And just kept coming.” Reflecting on the challenges posed by the pandemic, Barr highlighted the creative approaches adopted by Beach Catholic. Online and outdoor Masses, including a memorable Christmas Eve Mass with a Jumbotron, showcased the community’s resilience and adaptability. With fewer priests available, Barr explained, adaptations had to be made to mass schedules and ministries, and coordination became crucial to meet the challenge of providing essential services while preserving the unique history and identity of the Catholic Church. “If I were to go back in any of these churches 11 years ago, the pews weren’t

as full,” Maquet said. “The occupancy wasn’t at its fullest, and even during Covid, when people weren’t in the churches, Father Brian found a way. He had brought on amazing young men who were very tech-savvy. He’s who kept us afloat.” Barr spends a great deal of time visiting people dealing with illnesses in nearby hospitals. Even if it’s a quick popin, he tries to notice everybody, regardless of their religious beliefs, and make them feel seen. “He’s a soft-spoken man, and he’s

not gregarious,” Alice Jones, a nurse at Mount Sinai South Nassau, said. “He seems to be a very good listener, which I think lacks in a lot of people. Obviously, not everybody’s the same religion, but even if it’s just a ‘hello, how are you, my name is Father Brian and I’m doing some rounds today,’ he visits the patients. His whole team seems to be this way.” Looking ahead, Barr emphasizes his commitment to evangelizing, and the importance of giving people spiritual guidance. He sees Long Beach Catholic Regional School, which has a close asso-

ciation with St. Ignatius, as a response to the secular challenges faced by families, where Catholic principles can be instilled in children. “Having a healthy understanding of being an evangelist is pointing people to Jesus, leading people by what we do, by what we say, by our example — discovering, and coming to know more, the person of Jesus Christ,” he said. “And that’s the job of the church. That’s a never-ending job.” Barr credits the success of the threechurch Beach Catholic to its dedicated leadership team, and emphasizes that its achievements are a collective effort. His gratitude extends to the community for embracing the changes and challenges, and creating a vibrant and welcoming union of churches in the heart of Long Beach. “I'm the pastor, so I kind of get the credit for it,” he said. “I know this sounds like a cliché, but it’s all team-driven, from religious people in the school, the people who do communications, to the music, technology — all of these are slices to the pie.” Barr’s pastoral leadership helps a resilient community continue to unite while navigating the complexities of modern life and staying true to their faith.

MLK Center brings the holiday cheer By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Long Beach’s Martin Luther King Center has long been a place for children and adults in the community to play and learn in a safe space. The center also holds numerous events throughout the year, with many giving back to the community in a number of ways. Last Friday, the center did that yet again, with their annual holiday party. The center started the annual tradition about 20 years ago. Cedrick Coad, the board chairman of the center, remembers going to the parties as a kid. Now, he’s helping to run them for kids. The center collects gifts for kids in the community, so everyone has one for the holidays. “We got a bunch of donated toys, and we had a coat drive as well,” Coad said. “We were able to give away coats and toys, the kids were able to make Santa hats, too. The kids were able to get their faces painted and tattoos. We had food and snacks and desserts for them as well. We tried to make sure that each kid had a great holiday.” The center even got some help from Athlete Protocol, a gym in Long Beach, to make the day even more special. Coad and the center had a pretty substantial shortage of toys this year. Reaching out for help, they got some from Justin Mosley, the co-owner and a coach with Athlete Protocol. Mosley and his family helped cover and get the rest of the toys for the center. They went to Target, filled up a few trucks full of toys, and brought them over to the center for the party. Oh, and one of Mosley’s family members that helped out was actor and comedian Kenan Thompson. “Kenan just wanted to give back in the holiday spirit,” Coad said, “especially in the Long Beach Community, his family’s here.” Coad said Thompson being there livened the whole party up even more and brought more smiles to the kids’ faces. “It was good for the kids to see the people and good for the North Park area to see an actual star coming around and being so regular,” Coad said. “It was just perfect. For everybody to see that the North Park area isn’t as much forgotten as they think.” Each kid that celebrated the holidays at the MLK Center received a coat and toys. The feedback from the children and the community has been overly positive, helping to spread the holiday cheer. “A lot of our kids were pretty much in shock,” Coad said. “They couldn’t believe that Kenan was standing right there, especially with the remake of Good Burger coming out. They all knew who he was and it was just good for both generations, even the adults and some of the staff members, because when we were younger, Good Burger was out. To be able to share that same joy with our kids and stuff like that, he made it easy and made it even more exciting for everyone.”

MSSN honored with an exclusive award rightly notes that this prestigious designation validates the program’s commitment to patient-centered care and evidence-based treatments. “This prestigious designation validates that the quality of our program is founded on a top-notch multidisciplinary team of physicians who provide expert patient-centered care and evidence-based treatments,” said Ruhoy. Chiari malformation type 1 is a condition occurring at birth in which brain tissue extends into the spinal canal. It occurs when part of the skull is misshapen or smaller than usual, pressing on the brain and forcing it downward. EDS can exacerbate the condition by causing instability in the skull and neck region. For those grappling with CMI, Mount Sinai’s Chiari EDS Program stands as a sanctuary. Particularly noteworthy is the program’s focus on the hypermobile subtype, a testament to its dedication to tailoring care to the unique needs of each patient. The statistics speak volumes—1,500 surgeries for Chiari malformation, 1,000 craniocervical fusions, and 1,000 surgeries for tethered cord. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s Chiari EDS Program doesn’t just treat; it transforms lives, embodying the Ehlers-Danlos Society’s mission to increase clinical service availability, shorten diagnostic journeys, and standardize communication and care. As Mount Sinai continues to lead the charge in reshaping the landscape of EDS care, it is not merely a medical institution but a haven for those in search of hope, healing, and a brighter future. The world is taking notice, and the recognition as an Ehlers-Danlos Society Center of Excellence is a testament to the unwavering commitment of Mount Sinai South Nassau in championing the wellbeing of individuals living with EDS, Chiari, and hypermobility spectrum disorders which are connective tissue disorders that cause joint hypermobility, instability, injury, and pain.

Four arrested for drugs, weapons in Atlantic Beach Multiple packages of what is considered to be cocaine, LSD and MDMA (ecstasy), along with a switchblade knife were part of a four-person arrest after Nassau police made a traffic stop at the intersection of Park and Ithaca streets in Atlantic Beach at 12:38 a.m. on Dec. 22. Police stopped the 2018 Jeep Wrangler for several alleged traffic violations and also saw the driver, Jessica Cruz, 25, of Duston Road, Valley Stream, toss the knife out of the vehicle. Officers also saw Johnathan Faneytt, 29, of Jamaica Avenue, also of Valley Stream, trying to hide something under his seat. Reggie Kelleher, 19, of State Street, Rockville Centre, and Jessica Herrador, 25, of Central Avenue, of Baldwin, were in the Wrangler’s backseat, police said. The subsequent investigation uncov-

ered the drugs from Cruz’s purse. Brass knuckles and cocaine was found under the front passenger seat, and a black leather bag in the vehicle also containing what is believed to be cocaine. All four are charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance. Cruz is also charged with other counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance and several traffic infractions. Faneytt was also charged with criminal possession of a weapon. Cruz, Herrador and Kelleher pleaded not guilty and were released without bail. As of press time Cruz and Kelleher had no legal representation. Joseph Terino is representing Herrador. Faneytt was issued a summons. –Jeffrey Bessen

LONG BEACH HERALD — December 28, 2023

In a global stride towards groundbreaking medical care, Mount Sinai South Nassau has emerged as a beacon of excellence, securing its place among the elite 18 institutions worldwide designated as the inaugural cohort of EhlersDanlos Society Centers and Networks of Excellence. Ehlers-Danlos syndromes are rare, hereditary conditions that pose unique challenges, affecting joints, skin, and connective tissues by weakening tissues and playing tricks on tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, and even organs. For the first time, Mount Sinai South Nassau has been recognized for its remarkable Chiari EDS Program, offering hope and cutting-edge solutions to those grappling with these complex disorders. Mount Sinai’s Chiari EDS Program offers—a multidisciplinary approach led by Dr. Paolo Bolognese, the program’s Surgical Director. The program has transcended borders, drawing patients from across the United States who seek relief from symptoms that often go undiagnosed or mistreated elsewhere. Bolognese’s leadership has transformed the program into an internationally recognized service, setting a new standard for care in the realm of EDS. “Our Chiari EDS Program uses a multidisciplinary team approach, with experts in neurosurgery, neurology, plastic surgery, orthopedics, general surgery, ENT, GI medicine, and cardiology,” said Bolognese. Central to this recognition is the program’s commitment to the Ehlers-Danlos Society’s C.A.R.E. model—Care, Access, Research, and Education. This holistic approach ensures that every facet of patient well-being is considered, from diagnosis to treatment and ongoing support. The Ehlers-Danlos Society’s thorough review affirms Mount Sinai South Nassau’s dedication to excellence. Dr. Ilene S. Ruhoy, the program’s Medical Director,

Q. Our front steps are falling apart, and it’s going to cost a lot of money to get concrete foundation, new brick, etc. We were given an alternative to build wooden steps, and I was wondering, since I don’t see any wooden steps in my neighborhood, is it legal to have wood front steps and, if we can, what are the do’s and don’ts so we get this right?

A. Front steps are part of what I refer to as the presentation to passersby of your home’s appearance, so if that is a concern to you, the steps should be a reflection of the rest of the architecture, compatible and presentable. There is no code limitation on the material being nonflammable, so you can use wood. I’m not a big fan of onte eeper front steps made of wood, unless the rest of the house is of the same material. Even though I know there are many reasons to build out of wood, such as more lightweight construction, utilizing smaller foundation piers instead of larger concrete spread footings, and because the construction costs less, consider appearance and durability. Wood is more difficult and costly to maintain. If you plan to use synthetic decking, a durable composite material, and polyvinyl or composite railings, again, consider cost and durability. The understructure, made of treated lumber, will never last as long as concrete, and the finish materials don’t take the abuse of moving washing machines, refrigerators and other large appliances in by way of your front door. The front door, by code, is required to be a minimum of three feet wide and is often the only door that is wide enough to get the large and heavy boxes into the house. I speak from experience when I say that delivery people aren’t always as careful as you’d want them to be, and the nosing on my concrete paver block is now chipped and in need of replacement because of the new refrigerator we received. I watched them bang the box onto the step as the container was lifted, and even though I gritted my teeth, there was nothing to be done. Imagine what your beautiful wood or composite wood will look like the first time someone makes that heavy front-door package delivery. Also, clearing snow and ice from the steps is going to pose problems if you use the edge of a shovel to scrape or chip the ice and snow. I know that people say that nobody uses their front door, and that’s a terrific choice, but not practical, since I can’t imagine that all the uninvited people, like the postal worker, the delivery person, random solicitors and occasional guests, will enter through the side or garage door. And keep in mind that if you use wood, the fasteners should be hidden, and not top-face-nailed or screwed. With over 200 types of fasteners for this specific purpose, don’t let anybody tell you this can’t be done. Good luck!

Editorials offer the opinions of the Herald. Editors write them, but they do not necessarily reflect the views of those writers. Rather, they are the institutional voice of the news organization. That is why they are unsigned. Herald editorial department heads meet regularly to plan the editorials. Independent reporting by our staff often helps inform our editorials. We might also speak with experts and advocates to gain their perspective before sitting down to write an editorial. We are proud to say that we have won many state awards for our editorial writing over the years. But, in the end, it's sharing opinions that best reflect the views of you — our reader — that is most important to us.

HeraLd editoriaL Small businesses need us, and we need them

ur world is seemingly dominated by the twists and turns of the nation’s largest corporations, where billions of dollars are constantly at play, and millions of jobs on the table. Because of that, it’s easy to overlook the businesses that aren’t trading on the New York Stock Exchange, or that may not have a lot to spend on marketing and branding — where the owner knows every employee, and every employee knows her. These are our small businesses — our mom-and-pop businesses. And while they might not be the Apples or the Disneys of the world, they remain vital to our communities, and our very lives. There are 90,000 businesses on Long Island, according to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, and a vast majority of them employ fewer than 50 people. Many might not be household names beyond their immediate neighborhoods, but where they are known, they are important. Yet with each passing year, our society pulls further away from the small businesses that we so cherish and pushes further into the realm of the megacorporations. Not that there isn’t a place for the conglomerates — it’s just best that they don’t devour too much of our economic base. Small businesses account for 44 percent of U.S. economic activity, according

ates new economies where once there was nothing.” And that should be the definitive conclusion to this discussion, but sadly, it’s not. While it’s nearly impossible to find anyone who would consciously choose a large company over a hometown business, it still happens all the time. Many times, it’s because we simply don’t think about the impact of ordering something from Amazon, or ordering a pizza from a chain rather than a local pizzeria. More often than not, it comes down to cost — more often than not, it’s cheaper to head to Home Depot than to a local hardware store. Or to the 7-Eleven instead of the family-owned bodega on the corner. There is a place for the Home Depots and the 7-Elevens in our communities — but just not at the cost of local business. And it’s important to keep that in mind when we choose where we spend our money. One of the biggest spending periods of the year is coming up after Thanksgiving, and there will be so many businesses chasing after us, hoping to receive the dollars we’re looking to spend. But let’s make every effort we can to keep those dollar right here in our communities. “Shop Local” isn’t just a slogan — it’s key to keeping our communities thriving. And it ensures that our small businesses will never be overlooked.

Letters Does Congressman D’Esposito want to solve the border crisis? To the Editor: U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito’s partisan column last week, “The Biden border crisis comes home to New York,” blaming President Biden, Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams for the influx of migrants at our border, exemplifies the dysfunction of the House of Representatives. It’s up to Congress to work across the aisle and introduce laws that have a chance of passing. But the Republicans don’t really want sensible immigration laws, because they want to scare people into voting for them. Any fool can see that D’Esposito is intentionally introducing legislation that he knows will never be enacted just so he can say, “See, the Republicans are trying to keep you safe, while the Democrats want an open border.” Keep an eye out for a tax-paid mailer that will mention yet another bill that will never become law. D’Esposito conveniently failed to mention that he refused to support Biden’s comprehensive aid plan, which would not only give $14.3 billion in aid to Israel, but also direct $14 billion to boost the number of border agents, increase staffing for

to a report from the federal Small Business Administration just ahead of the coronavirus pandemic, and their share of the nation’s gross domestic progress is slowly, but surely, shrinking. Between 1998 and 2014, the small business share of GDP dropped from 48 percent to 43.5. Small business GDP itself is growing — but just under 1.5 percent a year, as compared to the 2.5 percent of larger businesses. A lot of that shifting began after the 2008 recession, and continued as big-box stores grew dramatically, as did online retailers like Amazon. That’s a primary reason why organizations like the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce — which represents more than 50 chambers of commerce in the county, and more than 10,000 businesses — are so keen to promote “Shop Local.” Small businesses need us, and we need them. Small businesses provide more jobs and more opportunities to people in their communities, corporate recruiter Martin Rowinski wrote in Forbes magazine last year. “Successful small businesses put money back into their local community through paychecks and taxes, which can support the creation of new small businesses, and improve local public services,” Rowinski wrote. “No matter how small it starts — one, two, five, 10 employees — within that town, the city or the county, your small business cre-

Among our regular contributors are former congressman Peter King, Herald Community Newspapers’ executive editor Michael Hinman, and the Nassau Herald’s former executive editor, Randi Kreiss.

Special features The op-ed, or opposite the editorial, page features a weekly Framework photo, which is chosen by our photo editor, Tim Baker. The Framework offers a creative, at times humorous outlet for our photography staff. In this spot, we also publish photos sent to us by readers featuring them on vacation, reading the Herald at various international landmarks. We call it Herald Around the World. At times, a correction might appear on the op-ed page. We strive each week for the highest standards of accuracy and accountability. When we make mistakes in our reporting, we believe we must own up to them and correct the record.

he U.S. continues to use chimpanzees in invasive experiments.

We welcome your letters to the editor, and publish most that we receive. We believe these letters are critically important, because they reflect the shared voices of the communities that we cover.

We edit letters for length, grammar, spelling and foul language. We do not censor viewpoints. If we believe a letter requires major revisions, we will send it back to the writer and ask that he or she change it so that meaning and intent are not lost.
