LYnBROOK suPeR VOLunteeR Tim Schlameuss, center, is congratulated by Dr. Adhi Sharma, president of Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital, and AnneMarie Fernandez, its director of Volunteer Services and Development.

Logging more than 14,000 hours of service — and counting — Lynbrook resident Tim Schlameuss was honored on April 19 as one of Mount Sinai South Nassau’s most dedicated volunteers.

“I think we’re put on this earth to help people,” Schlameuss, 67, said. “They helped me, so I’m trying to help them back.”

In June, he will mark 40 years of service at the hospital, which he began as a way of thanking it for the care he

received during his time as a patient. After he was hi by a truck in December 1979, he underwent months of rehabilitation at Mount Sinai South Nassau.

“F rom the accident, I couldn’t work a full-time job anymore,” Schlameuss said. “I liked the people here, so I decided this is where I’d volunteer.”

His service in the mailroom and the spiritual care program earned him a reputation for being friendly, patient and kind.

Job seekers descend on HempsteadWorks fair in droves Some 3,000 come to the Freeport Recreation Center to talk with potential employers By nICOLe FORMIsAnO nformisano@liherald.com

HempsteadWorks recently held a job fair, which was described as the most successful to date — with more than 80 businesses participating, 3,000 people attending and hundreds of applications being filled out.

The April 20 event drew a line of business-clad hopefuls that stretched out the door of the Freeport Recreation Center, down the sidewalk and around the corner. While last September’s job fair produced 1,500 people seeking employment,

last week’s fair saw more than double those numbers. HempsteadWorks runs a job fair in the spring and fall of each year.

“It’s so people can have a better quality of life, for employment, so they can support their families and strengthen the economy,” Eric Mallette, commissioner of the Town of Hempstead’s Occupational Resources, said. “And also to give back to the community if they have gainful employment.

And a lot of employers are looking for employees. We’ve been pretty successful in helping them.”

More than 80 businesses featured opportunities in a wide range of careers, in retail, health care, education, security, banking, hospitality and more.

“We want to make sure that there’s a diverse group of businesses and industries available to everyone,” Kurt Rockensies, the town’s deputy commissioner, said. “We try to get every industry possible to participate.”

Jeffrey Johnson, program director of Urban Seniors Jobs Pro g ram, with the Urban League of Westchester County Inc., noted that job fairs have

been the source of plenty of success for his company. Many of its hires came directly from job fair applications.

“We come as often as we can,” Johnson said. “HempsteadWorks does a great job of getting the word out to the public. Our recruiting efforts have been very successful due to this

kind of job fair.”

Would-be employees worked their way through the crowded gymnasium, booth by booth.

Task force targets graffiti, illegal signage

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

Illegal advertisements. Unsightly graffiti. Littered roadways.

“There’s nothing more irritating than, at the end of your day, when you’re driving home and you’re looking forward to going home and relaxing with your family, you are greeted at every (utility) pole with an unsightly sign,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. “We’ve come up with a concept we are hoping is going to help alleviate some of these concerns.”

That concept includes the creation of a “quality of life” task force. Its motivation is removing illegal ads, graffiti and litter, creating clean communities while preserving the suburban landscape in Hempstead.

One of the more popular signs many neighbors might see, Clavin said, are those advertising they “buy houses, no matter what the cost is.” Yet, the cost for hanging the sign could be a fine, since doing so is against the law. Advertisements for businesses — oftentimes hung on utility poles and street signs — are also included under the umbrella of “illegal signage,” Clavin said, and the town has witnessed an increase in these posters or boards being found all over downtowns.

The town’s code states it is illegal to litter or hang solicitations on “fences, trees, utility poles, or similar supporting devices, or to vacant or unoccupied structures.”

“These men and women (on the task force) are going to go out throughout the

HEmpstEAD tOwN supERVisOR Don Clavin announced the creation of a ‘quality of life’ task force last week in Merrick, all part of an effort to combat illegal signage, graffiti and litter that he says plagues communities and hurts the suburban landscape. town every single day,” Clavin said.

“They’re going to target different areas.”

Councilman Chris Carini — who represents a district that encompasses South Shore communities like Bellmore, Merrick, Wantagh and Seaford — has worked hard over the last few years to help neighborhoods remove graffiti from Long Island Rail Road station trestles and other miscellaneous, public use structures, and helped spearhead the quality of life initiative. He says the issue of graffiti and illegal signage has been a regular nuisance to town

residents for some time.

“Going back to my years as a civic leader, these illegal signs and graffiti have been a major complaint in our neighborhoods,” Carini told reporters during a Merrick news conference last week. “We’ve seen an increase in graffiti. We’ve seen an increase in the signs. And we’re going to get out in front of this.”

Some of the town’s strongest partners in the creation of the task force were civic and homeowner associations, Clavin said, as well as various chambers of com-

merce, which work to keep their communities clean, and a place where people want to live.

Joe Baker, past president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association, has been a proponent of the task force. In just three days, Baker said he worked with the Merrick-based group to pull down illegal signs in the area.

“Over the years, we’ve collected hundreds of these,” Baker said. “The quality of life — we want to keep it good. Our motto has always been, ‘Look good, feel good.’ If the community looks good, we feel good.”

Clavin said the task force is just one step to tackling the problem at hand — Carini and other town board members are actively looking at legislation and seeing where adjustments can be made.

Utility companies have offered their support, becoming “very, very willing partners,” Clavin said.

“They understand the concerns. They understand it’s unsightly, and we’ll be changing those laws to strengthen them and fine people for not caring about other people, and where other people live.”

Anyone who wants to report illegal signs, litter or graffiti, can call (516) 4895000, and ask for their specific council person. They also can post areas of concerns on social media.

“The Town of Hempstead is a great place to live. We want to keep it clean and pristine,” Clavin said. “That’s what this squad is all about.

“Let the cleaning begin.”

Remembering a tragedy from 60 years ago April 30th will mark the 60th anniversary of the tragic accident that claimed the lives of three volunteer firefighters and a crossing guard when two Lynbrook fire trucks collided while responding to a reported house fire.

On that fateful day in 1963, just after noon, and right after a rainstorm, the Lynbrook firefighters responded to the reported fire. Engine Company No. 1 responded with six volunteers. Tally-Ho Engine Company No. 3 also responded with six volunteers.

At the same time, Rosalie Roy, a village school crossing guard, was crossing children at the busy intersection of Hempstead and Peninsula. Both companies were responding to Earle Avenue, just two blocks beyond the intersection.

Both fire engines, with lights blazing and sirens and horns blowing loudly, were driving towards that intersection from different directions. As they approached, Roy was walking 9-year old Joe Calderone, an Our Lady of Peace student, on his way home for lunch, across the busy intersection.

Calderone told me years later that he heard the fire trucks coming while Roy held his hand. He said she pushed him toward the curb before turning around and running back into the intersection. He saw her in the intersection holding up her arms in both directions. It was reported in the newspapers that both drivers may have believed the crossing guard was in the intersection to stop vehicular traffic for the benefit of their fire truck.

Moments later the two fire trucks entered the intersection. The drivers could not stop on the rain-slicked roadway and they collided with the deafening sound of twisted metal that was louder than the blaring sirens and horns.

Tally-Ho smashed into the rear portion of Engine Company and spun it around in the intersection striking the crossing guard before she had time to run back to the curb. She was hurled to the lawn in front of the apartment building on the northeast corner. She died instantly.

Engine Company then cut in half the power pole at the corner before finally stopping. The power transformer on the top of the pole exploded when the truck hit it, knocking out electric to the area.

The street was littered with firefighters who had been thrown from their trucks. Nine firefighters were injured.

The most seriously were William Koch, 57, Joseph Fischer, 36, and Peter Moody, 20, who were all riding on the

On May 2, 1963, Moody died from his injuries. Fischer died the following day. Three volunteers and a school crossing guard were killed in the line of duty in one of the Village of Lynbrook’s worst tragedies since its incorporation in 1911.

In newspaper articles after the accident, the crash was attributed to “the treacherous surface of Peninsula Blvd.” It was also reported that the “road surface was slippery with oil and water.” Accounts further said that Engine Company was late getting out of the firehouse due to engine trouble.

The papers said, “Otherwise, both trucks would never have been in that intersection.” Another newspaper reported that Engine Company had also been stopped at the village’s main Five Corners intersection just blocks away by a bus that had blocked that intersection.

Ex-Chief Karl Thuge, of Engine Company, and the First Assistant Chief on the scene that day, recently confirmed that a bus had blocked the intersection blocks away otherwise Engine Company would have normally been well passed the intersection where the crash occurred. Neither of the fire engines was reported to have been speeding and the fire call that the trucks were responding to was a malfunctioning steam valve on a

furnace.

Koch, an employee of Ruppert’s Brewery in Brooklyn, was the secretary of Engine Company, and a member of the VFW after serving with the Navy Seabees in the Pacific during World War II. Koch left behind a wife and a daughter. Moody was not married and had only been a volunteer for two years. He was survived by his mother, father, brothers and a sister. Fischer, an oil burner mechanic, was also a veteran who served in World War II as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne. He left behind his widow. All three lived on the same block, Marion Street.

Roy, 37, was married and mother of three and had worked as a crossing guard for the village for three years.

The names of the three firefighters are memorialized at the Firefighter’s Memorial at the corner of Sunrise Highway and Earle Avenue.

Each year in October, Lynbrook firefighters remember them and three others who died in the line of duty for this community. Roy is remembered by a stone marker on the lawn of the apartment building where she died.

On April 30, the members of Engine Company will hold a memorial service on the 60th Anniversary of this tragic event at the Firefighters Memorial beginning at 9 a.m. After that service the firefighters will go to the intersection of Peninsula Boulevard and Hempstead Avenue to remember Roy at her stone marker on the apartment building lawn.

Fire Chief Danny Ambrosio asked all residents to remember Lynbrook’s fallen volunteer firefighters by changing outside lights to red from April 30 to May 7.

“Our Lynbrook volunteers answer the call to help our residents every day of the year and some have died in the line of duty doing just that,” Ambrosio said. “Let us all remember the firefighter neighbors we have lost by changing a light bulb outside your home to red for eight days.”

Schlameuss has been a fixture at hospital Continued from front page this office to sign in and out every day,” said volunteers director Anne Fernande z, who has been working with Schlameuss since joining the hospital staff 10 years ago. “But Tim will always come to my door and say, ‘Hello, good afternoon’ and ‘How are you doing today?’ Always taking the time to greet us. He’s wonderful.”

Schlameuss regularly goes above and beyond his volunteer duties — coming in early whenever the hospital needs extra help, personally delivering mail to patients, and taking on extra work for his coworkers when they need time away.

“My husband was diagnosed with glioblastoma, brain cancer, and he lived for six months,” said Barbara Dorfman, who has worked with Schlameuss in the mailroom since 2020. “Tim was able to accommodate the hours I wouldn’t be at the job.

He’s a great person. Everyone really loves him.”

On top of working in the mailroom, Schlameuss is also a Eucharistic minister for Mount Sinai South Nassau’s Spiri-

tual Care Program — providing a service I was also taking care of my father for for patients who can’t otherwise attend four-and-a-half years with dementia, and when he passed, I had free time. So I put religious services.

certainly does every day. When he comes in, he wants to just help. There’s a smile on his face. You never see him in a bad mood.”

Schlameuss described Mount Sinai South Nassau’s staff members and volunteers as his family. He said they showed up at his mother’s wake in 1989, and later his father’s in 2001.

“That just blew my mind,” Schlameuss said. “That they cared enough about me that they wanted to be there with me at that time.”

When asked to share more of his thoughts on volunteering nearly 40 years of service to Mount Sinai South Nassau, he still finds a way to bring it back to thanking the hospital staff.

“I don’t know why or how South Nassau attracts such nice people,” Schlameuss said. “But they are wonderful people.

For 40 years, they have always been wonderful people. That’s my story.”

Those interested in volunteering at Mount Sinai South Nassau can visit SouthNassau.org/volunteer or call (516) 632-3928.

“I’m a pandemic graduate, so I wasn’t able to gain a lot of the experience that people wanted from me,” Shannon Roth, 25, an information technology specialist, said. “It’s a very difficult field right now. I’m still pushing myself out there.”

Where some applicants seemed out of their comfort zone applying to positions in a medium other than LinkedIn — awkwardly laying their resumes on a table and walking away without a word — others thrived in the in-person networking environment.

“When you apply to jobs online, there’s no personality or face behind the application,” said Dejeane Edouard, a job-seeker and 2021 graduate who had just finished a conversation with a representative at the PSEG booth.

Edouard said employers at the job fair “get to see the person they’re talking to.

So maybe if they just saw your application it didn’t grab their attention, but maybe there’s something in your vibe — maybe you’re articulate, maybe some energy exists in you.”

Employers agreed that an applicant’s skill in face-

to-face conversations is a major plus in the hiring process, and a job fair is the perfect way to find these potential employees.

“It’s great to see them face-to-face rather than just pulling their resume, particularly for hiring for a position in a retail brand,” Jeff Pangburn, assistant vice president and senior recruiter for TD Bank, said. “You get to see them and how they interact with people. People from our branches are generally hiring people from the local community, to help people from that community. So it’s important to see how they interact with you.”

While many participants were searching for companies with a need for a specific skill or experience, plenty of others were present to see what’s out there and to expand their horizons.

“It gives everyone a good opportunity to push your limits, try to be outside the box, to go to a job you’re not comfortable with but willing to learn,” job-seeker Dominic Parkin, 23, said. “It’s good to jump into the deep end.”

Candidates bring experience, passion to board of education election

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

There are three seats up for election in this year’s Lynbrook board of education race. The election takes place Tuesday, May 16 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The two candidates with the highest votes will win three-year seats on the board. The candidate with the third highest amount of votes will be elected to fill a oneyear term that runs from May 16, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

Tara Aragona (Incumbent) Herald: Why are you running for a seat on the board of education?

Aragona: I have always enjoyed volunteering my time for

the Lynbrook school and community. I feel it’s important to be an active member of the community in which you live and raise your family. I devoted eight years to the PTA and was ready to make the next step. I was lucky enough to get appointed last year for a one-year term as a trustee and I hope to continue that role.

Tara Aragona

Ellen Marcus

Aragona: I have been an active volunteer for the Lyn-

brook public schools since my children entered the Kindergarten Center nine years ago. In addition to serving as the co-president for the West End PTA, North PTA and Lynbrook Council of PTAs. Professionally, I am a small business owner. I have been a cosmetologist for 20 years.

Herald: What do you want voters to know about you and your desire to serve on the board of education?

Herald: If elected, what are your top priorities?

Aragona: My top priorities revolve around ensuring that

our schools run smoothly and effectively. I believe that a smooth transition of the new administration, both at the building and district level, is crucial for maintaining continuity.

Herald: What is your background, both professionally and personally?

Aragona: I want voters to know that I represent them. I

am there to serve the best interests of the entire Lynbrook school community. I do not have a personal agenda that gets in the way of fair and thoughtful decision-making. I am open-minded, reflective, and have the ability to look at things from multiple perspectives.

Ellen Marcus (Incumbent) Herald: Why are you running for a seat on the board of

education?

Marcus: I am proud to have been able to serve this com-

munity for the past 15 years and look forward to the opportunity of serving another term. Dr. Lynch, our current Assistant Superintendent for Finance, Operations, and Information Systems, will be Lynbrook’s new superintendent in July. While I have no doubt that Dr. Lynch will be successful and incredible in this new role, the Lynbrook community, and Dr. Lynch, will benefit by having an experienced board member during this transition.

Herald: If elected, what are your top priorities?

Marcus: I would like to continue to enhance curriculum

and technology, expand staff, programs, athletic teams and clubs, and improve and upgrade the facilities — all while being fiscally conservative and remaining within the tax cap. I also feel that addressing the mental health Continued on page 11

The Lynbrook boys’ lacrosse team bounced back in a big way after struggling through arguably its toughest part of the schedule.

After a 3-1 start, Lynbrook toiled through a gauntlet of some of Nassau’s top teams that eventually evened its record at 4-4. The Owls were competitive against those schools at times, trailing 2022 Nassau Class C finalist South Side by a goal after one quarter of their 13-5 loss on April 14 and being down just three at halftime at one-loss Plainedge five days later en route to a 12-4 defeat.

Those games helped first-year coach Bill Luzzi identify his team’s strengths and weaknesses and Lynbrook rebounded with a 14-9 home win over Mepham last Saturday night. Junior Anthony Capitali scored four times to double his season total and leading goal scorer Max Dantona recorded his fourth hat trick of the season to help the Owls’ put forth their best offensive output of the season.

“It’s always very good to be tested early in the season because it exposes what you need to work on and to improve as we move through the season,” he said. “To face tough teams early on lets you know what you need to get better at and where we need to be when we hit the end of the season and try to get to our peak status by then.”

Lynbrook’s previous highs were 11 goals against Mineola on April 17 and 10 in the season opener at Oceanside. Dantona broke a 9-all tie late in the game against the Sailors and had one of his other hat tricks against the Mustangs.

“He’s taken major steps to improve in maturity and recognizing situational team offense,” Luzzi said. “The more we can get him sharing the ball, the more goals will end up coming back his way.”

Senior Michael Fagen is the Owls’ leading point scorer with 25 after collecting two more goals against Mepham, upping his total in that category to 13.

Junior midfielder Michael Henderickson continued his strong start with his ninth goal of the season.

seNioR ChRis lUCCese is a key cog in the defensive zone for the Owls, who returned to the win column last Saturday night by topping Mepham.

Luzzi has been especially pleased with his defensive corps of seniors Sean O’Brien, Chris Lucchese and Tyler Denker as well as the long stick duo of sophomore Chris Paladino and senior Max Cordes. The unit overall is yielding just under 10 goals a game “Sean and Chris work really well together and Tyler has been a dominant force in the middle of the field, knocking passes down and taking shots with his body,” Luzzi said.

Senior Jake Lunati has impressed in

his first year as the starting varsity goaltender by averaging just over 13 saves a game. His season-high 18 stops helped Lynbrook edge Bethpage 6-5 on March 27.

Lynbrook is back home Friday to face Island Trees in what should be another tough battle.

“Island Trees just took Wantagh to overtime [and] they took us to overtime last year,” Luzzi said. “They are tough, they are scrappy and they’re out there to prove something.”

Avoiding summer tragedy around the water

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

R

ecord-breaking temperatures this April have signaled an early start to pool season. While water fun is a summer ritual, it can also lead to avoidable calamity when children are left unattended around water.

But the danger could be worse when an adult is casually supervising.

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children between 1 and 4 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly all of those tragedies — 88 percent — happen with an adult watching, experts say.

“Supervision is the main reason for drowning accidents,” said Jim Spiers, president of Stop Drowning Now. “They’re not actively supervising and paying attention.”

For Jenny Bennett, a founding member of Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning, the issue is personal.

Bennett’s son Jackson drowned in the family’s backyard pool when he was just 18 months.

Bennett, an emergency room nurse in Texas, has made it her mission to educate as many parents as possible about the danger. Her organization encourages parents and caregivers to learn CPR and first aid. Install fences with locking gates around pools. And give children swimming lessons by certified teachers.

“Say a child is fishing with grandpa and they fall in a Sue Grieco/Herald file pond or lake,” Bennett said. “Teach a child to roll and RAth PARK POOL in Franklin Square is a local hotspot for families looking to beat the heat.

Step-up your supervision

Three open seats for Lynbrook schools BOE Herald: What is your background, both professionally and personally?

Marcus: I have been a district resident for

25 years and have been married to my husband, Eric, for 30 years. We have three children: Ethan, LHS ’20; Jonathan, LHS ‘14; and Alex, LHS ‘12. I have been a practicing attorney for over 30 years. I am the vice president of the school board. My volunteer experience outside of the district includes fundraising for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation for 20 years, and being a member of the AntiDefamation League.

Herald: What do you want voters to know

about you and your desire to serve on the board of education?

Marcus: There is a huge learning curve

when you are a new board member. I have the experience necessary to continue to help the district move forward at this time.

As a parent of three LHS graduates, I have a unique perspective, which is important to the board and is similar to many taxpayers.

Patrick Palleschi (Incumbent) Herald: Why are you running for a seat on the board of education?

Palleschi: I decided to run for the board in

2020 because I have a vested interest in our community and our school district, and that is still why I am running now. I moved to the Lynbrook school district in 2002 and was followed here by my brother, sister and two cousins. All together we have 13 family members attending Lynbrook schools ranging in ages from 5 to 16. I have seen how poor management by a school board can do extreme damage to a district.

Herald: If elected, what are your top pri-

orities?

Palleschi: My top priorities will be to con-

tinue to guide the district in a direction that makes our community proud and helps benefit all our current and future students. I want to ensure that a quality education is a given when a family moves into the Lynbrook school district. I also want to ensure that there is no waste in our annual budget.

Herald: What is your background, both professionally and personally?

Palleschi: My past work experience as an

auditor at the accounting firm KPMG and my 25 years as a math educator and coach at Lawrence High School make me uniquely qualified to help our school district make educationally sound decisions while remaining fiscally responsible. I

live in East Rockaway and I am married to my wife of 25 years, Dr. Dina Palleschi, and have twins, Luca and Olivia, both sophomores at Lynbrook High School.

Herald: What do you want voters to know

about you and your desire to serve on the board of education?

Palleschi: I know what it takes to give a

child an excellent education. I intend on continuing to oversee and promote all the things Lynbrook does well, while never ceasing to search for areas where we can improve. I do not feel that this position is a political one. I believe infusing any type of partisan politics into the schools is detrimental to the educational process and should be avoided at all costs.

Jennifer Saia Herald: Why are you running for a seat on the board of education?

Saia: Maintaining the traditions and val-

ues of Lynbrook is vital, while also supporting progress and equipping our students with the knowledge and skills to excel and achieve. I have been witness to and a part of how the organization functions from top to bottom and from kindergarten through higher education.

Herald: If elected, what are your top pri-

Saia: For the better part of 15 plus years, I

have worked with students at the high school level. Noticing the trends over this period of time has alerted me to particular skills that our children might be lacking to succeed at the college level and professional world.

There is tremendous value in a K-12 district-wide Character Education program. I have also noticed a the lack of awareness of fiscal and monetary matters.

Herald: What is your background, both professionally and personally?

Saia: I was born and raised in Valley

Stream, and as a result this pocket of southwest Nassau County has always been very special to me. When my husband, Anthony, and I were looking for places to settle and raise a family, Lynbrook was at the top of our list.

Herald: What do you want voters to know

about you and your desire to serve on the board of education?

Saia: My desire to serve on the school

board comes from a place of genuine care and concern for our children and their education. I believe I can offer fresh perspective and excitement, and with a baby in tow, am in it for the long haul.

AARP, USPS help take stand against fraud

By KEPHERD DANIEL

time to shred

kdaniel@liherald.com

Being a victim of identity theft is just the beginning. Resolving it can be a stressful and lengthy process, and according to a pair of experts from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, it’s always better to protect in advance against scams and fraud.

Some $8.8 billion was lost to lottery sweepstakes and other scams last year alone, according to the Federal Trade Commission — a 54 percent increase from 2021. Elder fraud cost Americans older than 60 more than $966 million in 2020, according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center.

In the United States and other countries, these numbers are only growing as criminals increasingly use online scams that target older adults — especially those living alone.

“Even though we talk about this a lot and we give prevention tips, it seems that people are still falling victim to these scams. And that’s why it’s so important to give this information out,” said Donna Harris, a public information representative for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

“Take the information and share with others so that we can get those numbers down and put the fraudsters where they need to be: behind bars.”

Harris was part of a pair of webinars hosted by AARP Long Island and RichnerLive — a sister division to Herald Community Newspapers — addressing these very

She was joined by Michael Del Giudice, a postal inspector and team leader within the same division.

“I hear from so many people that are recent victims,” said Bernard Macias, associate state director for Long Island with AARP New York. “It’s so disruptive.

It’s so violating, it’s hurtful. It’s life-changing to be a victim.”

Identity theft has become a big problem in the United States and abroad due to so much information being available on the

internet. Every day, many unwittingly open their digital door to a world of strangers who could be scammers. In many cases, the results can be devastating — especially to older and vulnerable adults.

Even though many of these scammers are miles away, they can virtually enter homes through deceptive offers, designed to steal money and financial information.

“Once they have your information, it’s just like your DNA,” Harris said. “They find out who you are, and they can use it to defraud you. This is why we routinely dis-

Sands formally introduces itself to L.I. businesses mwilson@liherald.com

One of the biggest mistakes a large company can do when coming into a community for the first time is start big and stay big.

But when Las Vegas Sands Corp., came to town looking to spend millions on redevelopment, it didn’t go big. It went hyperlocal.

“They started off right,” said Frank Camarano Jr., president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce. “They understood.

Julie Marchesella, the owner of clothing boutique Queen of Hearts in Merrick, said she participated primarily to see if she could advertise inside the Sands once it opens.

“They have intentions of catering to weddings, and I felt that this would be a perfect opportunity to advertise … and maybe have a kiosk with a mannequin wearing a beautiful gown,” Marchesella said. “Since Queen of Hearts is on Merrick Avenue — just a very short taxi ride or Uber ride — they might see something there that they love and want to come in and try it on.”

Not everyone is keen about welcoming Sands. A number of people and groups have protested the casino, saying it will increase crime and poverty in and around Uniondale. Nearby Hofstra University is against the development, even filing a lawsuit earlier this month against the Nassau County Planning Commission, claiming it violated state open meetings laws when considering the $4 billion Sands project.

Frank Borrelli, owner of Borrelli’s Italian Restaurant in East Meadow, believes this project is the best option presented so far.

“I think it’s a homer for the community,” he said. “The taxes it’s going to generate for the county will be insane, not only from (the resort), but just branding off and bringing people to the areas. And tourism in general.”

Will their bond stand the test of time? Find out how it all unfolds in Jack Heifner’s ‘Vanities,’ the latest production from Adelphi University’s Department of Theatre.

This bittersweet comedy is an astute, snapshot-sharp chronicle of the lives of three Texas women and how their friendship evolves. The story begins as Joanne, Kathy and Mary are high school cheerleaders in 1963. Five years later in their college sorority house, they are confronting their futures with nervous jauntiness. In 1974, they reunite briefly in New York. Their lives have diverged and their friendship is strained and ambiguous. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have very much in common.

The show is directed by Emily Shain with assistant direction by Lauren Buscemi.

An ongoing project will reinforce local underground infrastructure on East Rockaway Road.

This project will involve replacing the existing gas main on East Rockaway Road between Union Avenue and Waverly Avenue. National Grid is conducting this project to enhance their ability to serve customers in the area.

The project, which started last month, will continue through September and workers will be on site from Sunday through Thursday at 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.

Things to expect from this project include the excavation of the street and installation of the new natural gas main. Also expect new traffic patterns, as East Rockaway Road will be closed during work hours. Flaggers will be in place to accommodate local traffic.

“Our top priority is the safety of our customers the general public, and our employees and contractors,” stated

on NationalGridUS.com.

According to NationalGridUS.com, the project will not require construction on residents’ properties. “As this project will reinforce the existing local distribution system, the vast majority of work will take place within established utility corridors,” it said on the website.

The contractors will make efforts to keep noise disturbance to a minimum, but according to the website, there will “undoubtedly be noise associated with this project.” Most of that noise will occur during the excavation, as that will require heavy equipment.

For answers about specific questions, call the National Grid’s local outreach phone number, which is (516) 283-5270. Or email box.longisland@ nationalgrid.com.

onverting the Long Island Power Authority to a public power utility from a privatepublic partnership is being considered by the State Legislature through a commission. This switch, in a process known as municipalization, would be a massive mistake.

Just ask residents of Boulder and Pueblo, Colorado, who overwhelmingly rejected ballot issues to municipalize. In fact, only a handful of communities nationwide have voted in favor of a municiWENDY pal takeover of electricity in over HIJoS a decade.

It’s usually a costly folly that rarely achieves the benefits proponents claim. What happens in reality should dissuade the Legislature from altering the LIPA public-private partnership.

Creating a municipal utility doesn’t necessarily: ■ Bring lower electricity costs. In San Marcos and Palm Springs, California,

A

for example, consultants’ cost savings estimates turned out to be wrong, to the detriment of consumers. Plus, while municipal utilities tend to charge residential customers less and businesses more, residents end up paying more anyway. Further, a study by a consulting firm found the costs passed on to ratepayers by municipal utilities often went up.

p

strict, and more subject to politics.

■ Improve operations. Municipal officials and appointees frequently don’t have the expertise that investor-owned utilities possess, which can reduce reliability in areas where major storms and other weather-related events occur. For instance, when Winter Park, Florida, switched to a public utility, it wasn’t prepared operationally, and had to build that knowledge from the ground up.

ublic utilities are often less accountable and more subject to politics.

■ Improve grid security.

Municipal utilities are under cyber siege as their staffing shrinks, cybersecurity spending lags and their legacy systems are often outdated. In 2021, a cyberattack against the Oldsmar, Florida, water treatment facility nearly poisoned the water supply of almost 2 million people.

■ Guarantee accountability to consumers or taxpayers. Investor-owned utilities are regulated by a state utility commission. When a blackout or brownout or other crisis occurs, such oversight is vital in order to determine what went wrong and how to fix it. Accountability of a municipal utility often proves less

■ Offer the shared risk for ratepayers that investor-owned utilities do, with shareholders who shoulder risks with ratepayers.

Municipalization triggers other major problems. It costs a lot, is contentious, and takes a long time to happen, if it happens at all. In Corona, California, the direct buyout cost of its utility will exceed $300 million. Long Beach, California, rejected municipalization because of its $500 million price. The city of Pueblo, according to one estimate, would have lost nearly $8.5 million in taxes and franchise fees if it had

municipalized its utility.

Failure took 13 years for a plan in Las Cruces, New Mexico, felled after dozens of lawsuits and many untold costs arose.

As well, only one in six attempted municipal utility takeovers succeeds, according to a report that studied 60 of them. Two later sold the utility back to the investor-owned utility. Investorowned utilities cannot afford bloated budgets, but public utilities need not have the same capital discipline with taxpayer dollars.

LIPA customers should also be outraged by the poor job the legislative commission has done. Despite spending $2 million in taxpayer dollars to collect community input, the commission held none of three public hearings called for before the end of last September. It held no meetings during its first five months of existence, and didn’t produce a draft report by year-end 2022. It was expected this month.

The track record of municipalization is clear, and Long Island residents should not be fooled by the current attempts to municipalize the LIPA. Wendy Hijos is the New York state director for the Consumer Energy Alliance.

Mothering our way through the pandemic global pandemic was never part of the job description in my Mothers Handbook, circa 1971, but so be it. This is our

time.

A small distinction: A man fathers a child, and the work he does after that is called “parenting.” A woman gives birth to a child, and the work she does after that is often called “mothering.” That word implies the unique devotion needed to shepherd children safely through their early years.

The dictionary says the word RANDI embraces “kindKREISS ness” and “protection.”

No one says, “Joe is so good at fathering.” But we often hear praise for someone’s mothering. I don’t think it’s sexist; I see the word as gender neutral. Joe may be good at mothering as well.

Mothering requires tending, nurturing, cherishing and teaching children.

The term connotes warmth and support and advocacy.

Although, traditionally, mothering has been linked to the mother-child bond, there are millions of men and

people who identify in nontraditional ways, who mother their children selflessly and lovingly. Friends also can mother one another, even when children aren’t involved.

As we approach Mother’s Day, I honor all the people, from older teens to adults to grandparents, who find themselves in the role of raising children, and find within themselves the resources to “mother” them.

Parenting seems more like a job description to me. Mothering is a mission and a half. In the age of Covid-19, in the wake of lockdowns and isolation, mothering has been a gift to our kids and grandkids.

Parents pressed for time and money, parents nearly paralyzed by anxiety by the epidemic, somehow rallied and did their best for their little ones.

In my world, I observed nieces and nephews (who might now feel embarrassed by the notion) display true courage in finding a path for their babies and toddlers. Their daily creativity and devotion kept the kiddies safe, while allowing them to learn and grow in a time of restrictions and fear and social isolation. Those were long years to be alone in your home with a 2-year-old.

I

I know of one young dad, working from home, who mothered his restless little ones by creating a thrilling world out of the commonplace routines of keeping the household going. The mail delivery, the Instacart groceries and the laundry all became big events, threaded with anticipation and excitement. The trash pickup was a showstopper. As in the movie “A Beautiful Life,” in which a father reinvents life in a concentration camp for his young son, the dad I know interpreted everyday activities as theater. He didn’t want his children to miss the world.

If you’re a parent trying to mother a teenager in 2023, good luck and God bless. My grandkids are 20, 18, 16 and 14, and this has been a challenging road through the pandemic. The headlines speak to the truth about unprecedented emotional fallout from the Covid-19 years. Teenagers have suffered from the social isolation and anxiety.

Everyone — teens, parents and grandparents — did our best to keep home life safe and sane. When schools were closed for months, the pressure was extraordinary to keep the teenagers engaged and off social media (ha!) and

tried to mother my own grown kids during Covid-19, to mixed success, at best.

diligent about schoolwork. The big lessons had nothing to do with the closeddown classrooms and a year’s curricula out the window, and everything to do with how to face danger, and how to be brave in the midst of a spreading pandemic, and how to think about death and hope for life and recovery. Our teens missed a lot of Happy Days, and many of the traditional paths forward to college and work life were altered.

All of you parents of teenagers who mothered your way through the past three years, the singular reward for your efforts will be children who, with support and luck, will grow into responsible adults.

I tried to mother my own kids during the pandemic as they helped their children through this time. Mixed success, at best. I tried to manage my own anxiety for them and for us without making that contagious as well. Mixed success, at best.

Mothering is unbound by time and place. My mother has been gone five years, but, hand to heart, I felt her at my side many times during the worst of the pandemic.

This Mother’s Day, I invite all of us to co-opt the M-word. It would be a happier and healthier world if we all mothered one another.

This summer, keep our kids from drowning

t

he video is heart-wrenching. One by one, parents explain how their child drowned, holding their pictures and saying their names.

It’s part of a public service announcement found on the Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning website, and it’s a call to action: grieving parents pleading with us to keep children from drowning.

The message is clear: If you are supervising children who are in the water, never allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security. Don’t ever look away.

Not even for a second. It takes just 30 seconds for a young child to drown — half a minute that can lead to a lifetime of ceaseless grief.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of death for children between ages 1 and 4. Some 4,000 people of all ages across the country drown each year.

For decades, government at all levels has enacted laws intended to help prevent children from drowning. Sadly, these laws have not been enough. More must be done.

There are at least four water safety bills being considered in Albany, including S.3608, which would require parents of a newborn to watch a video explaining the

dangers of drowning for infants and young children before they leave the maternity ward. State legislators should pass this bill and get it on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk.

And we urge lawmakers to draft legislation providing free pool safety inspections for homeowners and caregivers. Several government agencies already offer free car seat safety inspections. While visiting a home and inspecting a pool is more involved, it certainly is no less critical for protecting children.

At least two water safety experts have agreed that pool safety inspections would help prevent child drownings.

This proposal wouldn’t be another unfunded mandate that drains the resources of local municipalities. Albany has the mechanism to create a pilot program using previously budgeted money from an appropriate department. The pool inspections would be voluntary and conducted by state-licensed pool safety experts.

A pool owner would receive a safety inspection certificate and a degree of peace of mind. Some private companies already offer free pool safety inspections.

A government-business partnership would further enhance the reach of this

pilot program.

Water safety experts stress the need for constant surveillance of children while swimming. They also insist on multiple layers of protection — tall fences, selflocking gates and more — to prevent kids from getting into unguarded water. Pool safety inspections would offer one more element of safety.

May is National Water Safety Month.

There is no better time for local state senators and Assembly members to draft legislation to provide those inspections.

And as you prepare to open your pool for the summer, make it a priority to visit swimming safety websites and educate yourself about making your pool safer, and what you can do if you see a child in distress in the water.

Remember that water safety includes time on the bays and at the ocean. Follow state and local laws for operating watercraft. Be an active supervisor of children and young adults who are enjoying the water. Don’t assume that a day of fun in the sun can’t turn deadly.

The courage and strength of parents able to talk about their children’s deaths is remarkable — and inspiring. Honor that courage and their grief by taking action to make your pool safer.

Cameras were already a problem five years ago To the Editor: I am in full agreement with Fred Gefen’s sentiments regarding red-light and speed-camera ticketing in his letter last week, “Every vehicular mistake, caught on camera.” His are the same sentiments, and arguments, I made in two letters, in the April 12-18 and May 24-30, 2018, issues of the Herald, “Red-light fees are ‘exorbitant’” and “Red-light ticket tyranny.”

I asked, “How does $50 automatically become $150? Ask the magicians of the Nassau County Legislature,” and, “If Nassau can’t balance its books in a fair and honest manner, is it justified in seeking additional revenues by concocting such contrived fees as these to fill the gap?”

It’s encouraging that another Nassau resident was driven to expose the very same tyranny that led me to write five years ago, but it’s equally disheartening that these injustices continue to plague us five years later, with no action having been taken to remedy them. Mr. Gefen’s references to proposed license plate readers and school bus cameras indicate that the problem is growing even worse, as Big Brother continues to invade our daily lives.

Yes, advancing technology does afford benefits to the safety and security of Nas-

sau citizens, but it must be imposed with an awareness of the detrimental and continuing erosion of our rights as citizens.

Peter King should know we should follow the law To the Editor: With Peter King’s column, “With Trump’s

indictment, we cross a dangerous line” (April 13-19), it’s a relief to see members of Trump’s party finally coming down on the side of preserving norms, after years of Trumpian normbreaking. But to ask Americans to do it by exempting Trump from accountability is both hypocritical and shortsighted.

Those who supported or enabled this corrupt, duplicitous bully’s rise to the presidency should have known they were bludgeoning our country’s political norms. Our country is now on the path of restoring those norms, and we will walk that path to the end.

t

he true enormity of the real-life consequences that will result from the leaking of sensitive national security secrets by Air Guardsman Jack Teixeira hit me hard the other day, when I received an email from an old friend who served with distinction in the military, in the intelligence services, as a key staffer on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch of our government.

For starters, we must realize peter that whatever is kinG leaked to social media is being absorbed, scrutinized and analyzed by our enemies and, yes, our allies. Giving our enemies access to our imagery and code-breaking capabilities puts all Americans at risk. Those who are already at risk on

the battlefield, of course, will be at greater risk. So, too, will our undercover operatives — “spies” — in hostile countries be in greater danger than ever.

Those at most immediate risk are intelligence sources — human beings — in enemy countries who have provided the United States with invaluable intelligence and information.

Having served on the House Intelligence Committee for over nine years, I saw firsthand how deeply embedded some of these sources are in enemy governments, supplying us with the most sensitive and vital information to avert attacks against us or our interests. Studying the information contained in the leaked documents, these governments will be able to do a reverse analysis, and determine who our sources are and subject them and

Letters To King and all those who would shelter Trump from this indictment, not to mention the even more serious ones awaiting him, I say this: If you really care about our country’s norms, the right way to uphold them is, first, to let the rule of law run its course, and, second, to make wiser leadership choices in the future.

their families to brutal torture and death.

This will be a human catastrophe and an intelligence disaster. Not only will we no longer receive valuable intelligence data from those who are tortured and killed, but this could also lead to other sources being disclosed and neutralized. Equally consequential, it will dissuade others from cooperating with the United States. Similarly, our allies will be reluctant to share intelligence with us, fearful that it will be leaked, with serious consequences for their sources and security.

Leaking national security secrets shouldn’t be part of a leftvs.-right debate. It was indefensible and stupid for Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene to say Teixeira was being criticized for being “white, male, Christian, and anti-war,” and wrong for

Donald Trump Jr. to describe Teixeira as a “hero.” Similarly, it is wrong for people on the left, like the writer Glenn Greenwald, to argue that Teixeira performed some sort of public service by making life-or-death information available online for America’s adversaries.

Nor do I have any regard for the argument that Teixeira should get a pass because, at 21, he’s only a kid. A 21-year-old is an adult. Twenty-oneyear-olds fight our wars as soldiers and protect our streets as men and women in blue. Teixeira was trained in the military and took an oath to defend our nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

A 21-year-old military man who makes life-threatening secrets available to our sworn enemies should not receive the benefit of youthful offender treatment. He must face severe consequences. Justice must be served.

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

Trump’s indictment is Trump’s fault To the Editor: In his April 13-19 column, Peter King seems to be blaming the dawn for the crowing of the rooster. He is bemoaning the fact that a federal grand jury has indicted Donald Trump for breaking federal campaign laws in connection with his Stormy Daniels payoff, rather than addressing the dirty deeds that Trump has committed.

It is true that there are two other pending cases that are far more egregious than the current one: Trump’s incitement to insurrection in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, as well as his effort to fraudulently “find” 11,780 votes in Georgia. But the current case has reached a milestone in that it has ended the notion that a president or former president cannot be indicted for criminal actions.

In other words, it opens the door to a legal path for the extremely serious charges relating to Jan. 6 and to the Geor-

To the Editor: The number of deaths due to the use of assault-style weapons in mass shootings seems, tragically, to be endless, including most recently in Nashville, Tennessee.

It is now reported that the leading cause of death in children and teens in this country is gun-related violence.

According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun violence, 85 percent of deaths caused by the use of assault rifles occurred in mass shootings. It also found that during the 10-year federal ban on assault weapons that ended in 2004, massshooting deaths were 70 percent less likely to occur.

Despite majority public support for reasonable gun regulation, more protective federal laws, like the renewal of an assault weapons ban, are not politically feasible due to opposition from gun-rights groups and a lack of support from Republican members of Congress.

When can the renewal of a federal assault weapons ban be expected? Perhaps American history can give a clue.

There were attempts to enact a federal law against lynching toward the end of the 19th century. According to historian Eric Rauchway, in 1938 a Southern filibuster stood in the way of a proposed federal

anti-lynching law. When asked by Jimmy Roosevelt, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son, when the filibuster would end, Sen. James Byrnes, of South Carolina, told him, “Not until the year 2038, unless the bill is withdrawn before then.”

It took over 100 years for such a law, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, making

lynching a federal hate crime, to be enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Biden last year. Will another federal assault weapons ban happen by 2104? How many more preventable deaths will happen by then?
