Lynbrook East rockaway 11-year-olds are the District 30 champions, and have taken another step toward Pennsylvania for the Little League World Series.

Little Leaguers set course for Williamsport by brIan PFaIL bpfail@liherald.com

The 11-year-old boys Lynbrook East Rockaway baseball team won the District 30 Championship. Now, the team has advanced into the sectional playoffs. David Smollett, vice president of the Lynbrook East Rockaway Little League said, “Congratulations to the 11-year-old champions representing Lynbrook and East Rockaway communities, we are very proud and looking to them and their success playing in the sectional tournament coming up next week.” The team is part of the chartered Williamsport Little League. It has been since 1956. The league features a tournament leading up to the Little League World Series in August, the same one shown on television for the 12-year-old division. “It’s the regionals, and then there’s another tournament at which point we go to Bristol,” said team manager Billy Becker.

“We started this at the 10-year level last year, being our first taste of playing on a tournament team, and at that level, we did very well, but we just couldn’t close it out at the end,” said Becker. The team manager said he looks over a great group of kids who will be even better after the tournament, whether they win or not. He went on to talk about what held them back in the prior year. “It was our first year at the 10-level. It was new for the kids; when you play little league, you have a great deal, a mixture of kids,” said Becker. “So (what) you do here is grab what you think is the most qualified and put them on.” This year had a couple of changes for Becker, but his team’s pitching strengthened. “They’re wonderful. They all can hit; they all know the game,” said Becker. He acknowledged kids would make a couple of errors which contributed to their losses. The year prior, pitching was lacking,

but the kids were still “very resilient.” “It sounds so cliche, but we really have a good team at this age,” said Becker. “I feel like I was a part of that, in that, watching these kids evolve.” He remarked how travel baseball helped improve some of the players’ athleticism. All in all, they were a “great talented group of kids. They understand the sport.” He said it was too soon to see where the kids were headed and that errors shouldn’t be held too much to account as even the Yankees miss a few. “I think it’s awesome for the rest of the kids and their families. It’s a very proud moment for us as a Little League,” said Becker. He commented the merger between East Rockaway and Lynbrook gave them the “best of the two towns.” Becker said, “It’s a great organization. It’s a great bunch of guys on the board, and they really do a great job with this little league.” He also remarked how playing outdoors removed his son from playing video

games to enjoying sports. “He’s got his glove in his hand (and) he’s like are we going to warm up?” Said Becker, “we practice every other night. Kids [are] out there, [and] ready to go.” It’s been over 10 years since any Lynbrook or East Rockaway team has reached sectionals, with next year bringing them possible stardom in the 12-yearold division’s showcase of the little league world series in Pennsylvania.

News brief

Mangano ordered to pay $10M in restitution Former Nassau County executive Ed Mangano is on the hook for $10.6 million he will have to deliver to a pair of Connecticut insurance companies. U.S. District Cour t judge Joan Azrack ordered the restitution last week in connection with his bribery conviction from earlier this year that will cost him the next 12 years behind bars. In that case, a jury found Mangano used his position as county executive to influence the Town of Oyster Bay to guarantee loans for a concessionaire in exchange for several bribes, including a $450,000 “no-show” job for his wife Linda, along with free meals, vacations, luxury chairs, and flooring for the couple’s bedroom, as well as a $7,500 watch for one of their sons. “The trial evidence was unambiguous that Ed Mangano had zero involvement in these loans and was unaware of their existence,” said Mangano’s attorney, Kevin Keating, in a statement. “We look forward to addressing those issues on appeal. Mangano is scheduled to begin his prison sentence July 27, unless the

judge allows him to remain free pending his appeal. His wife also seeks to remain free while she appears a 15-month sentence for lying to the FBI. Mangano will be required to pay $25 every three months while he is in jail — accounting for just $1,200 if the 60-yearold serves the full sentence — and 10 percent of his gross monthly income after he is released. Prosecutors claim loans were made with two insurance companies — Phoenix Life Insurance and PHL Variable — by Purchase-based NDH Capital Corp. Both claimed to the court they lost $10 million after the loans defaulted. A jury found Mangano pushed for $20 million in loans for Harendra Singh, a longtime Mangano friend and a former restaurateur. Singh became the star witness for the prosecution after pleading guilty to bribery, conspiracy and tax evasion. He testified he had lavished the Manganos with gifts in exchange for favored treatment by the county executive. –James Bernstein

These badges are earned by participating in on-campus events, as well as activities that involve teamwork and leadership. Besides bronze, students like Pollackov also can earn silver, gold and green badges. Moravian University is located in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, and has taught students for more than 275 years.

Schampier makes dean’s list

Lauren Schampier of Lynbrook has been named to the dean’s list at SUNY Morrisville in central New York. Schampier, majoring in animal and equine science, achieved a GPA of at least 3.0, and completed at least 12 credit hours this past spring to earn the honor.

New students at NYIT

The New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury has welcomed two new students. Alexandra Partos of East Rockaway will study health and wellness at the school, while Daniel Paolino of Lynbrook will study mechanical engineering. But as NYIT welcomes these two new students, it did say good-bye to others who have now picked up their degrees. Among them were Lynbrook’s Jessica Baez, among 54 students graduating from NYIT’s School of Health Professions last month. Baez also received the school’s Occupational Therapy Leadership and Occupational Therapy Research awards. Through its six schools and colleges, NYIT offers undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees, and regularly welcomes some 8.000 students globally. The school also offers campuses in New York City, Arkansas and British Columbia.

The Historical Society of East Rockaway and Lynbrook has welcomed a new president, Frank Torre. Graduating from high school in East Rockaway and later attending college at CUNY John Jay in Manhattan, Torre never forgot his love for the history of his home village. It was a passion nurtured by his art teacher, John Bihsop, leading him to want to learn as much as he could growing up. The moment he learned East Rockaway had a historical society, he wanted to be a part of it. He joined almost immediately, taking on a number of responsibilities, including handling its social media. Now that he’s leading it, Torre, hopes to work with local schools on presentations and workshops, possibly creating future society leaders like himself. Anyone interested in joining the historical society, to join the board, or even to volunteer some time, can reach out to Torre at f.torre.hserl@gmail.com.

This extra nitrogen typically comes from poorly maintained septic systems and cesspools, which leak into the soil and corrupt rivers and other waterways that feed the sound, scientists have said. Fertilizer runoff is another major issue, exacerbated by what are otherwise picturesque golf courses near the water, that typically require thousands of tons of fertilizer. But with just a little effort, Long Island could easily identify — and maybe even eliminate — some of these environmental threats.

Growing good eats in the neighborhood Cornell Cooperative Extension wants to expand local agriculture By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

resh food is important not only to health, but also the local economy — something leaders of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County are committed to making available to everyone. The cooperative extension, with its main office at Eisenhower Park and a farm located on Merrick Avenue, focuses heavily on selling goods produced by locals all over Long Island. It even runs farmers market every Saturdays through October in Eisenhower Park, kicking off the latest season just a couple weeks ago. The farmers market is a part of the cooperative extension’s food systems and agriculture program, something Cornell University upstate has championed through this century-old nonprofit located in every county and every New York City, with more than 50 offices statewide. Working with county, state and federal officials, the Cornell Cooperative Extension also leads programs involving 4-H, as well as allowing young people to explore areas in science, technology, engineering, and math. The cooperative extension also focuses on health, wellness and nutrition, offering education workshops and information about food-related topics. The organization also spends time on natural resources, providing knowledge on sustainable energy and horticulture, like that at the East Meadow farm, creating gardens that teach people how to properly grow their own goods. The cooperative extension also runs a mobile market — a van of fresh produce services — that makes its round to senior citizen and community centers. And then there’s the Taste NY market, located at the Long Island Welcome Center, between exits 51 and 52 on the eastbound side of the Long Island Expressway. The market opened in 2016, selling goods from vendors all over Long Island and New York state. It’s “an extension of Cornell University, so obviously, we’re really proud of that, to take the research and work that’s been done at the university level and put it to work for the residents here in Nassau County,” said Greg Sandor, the executive director of Nassau’s cooperative extension. Established in 1914, the Nassau cooperative extension has always had a farm stand, which moved to Eisenhower Park in 2020. “There were a couple of guests vendors and it was small, but it was a great way to get in touch with the community,” said Jennifer Hochuli, who coordinates the office’s food systems and agriculture. “It was an all-hands-on-deck with staffing.” And that’s a big need in Nassau, Sandor said — build a local sustainable food system. “In Eisenhower Park we’re trying to create more access to fresh grown produce,” he said. “Eisenhower Park has high visibility, and you’ve got all different

It’s a great mix of community members, and you never know why they’re swinging by Eisenhower.” The farmers market accepts cash, credit/debit, along with Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program cards and coupons from those who are a part of the Farmers Market Nutrition Program. “Everybody should have access to fresh food, it’s so good for you and your body,” Hochuli said. “Supporting locally grown food, locally grown produce, as well as local businesses — it’s good for the economy, it’s good for your area, and at the end of the day, I like to think that it’ll come back and help you out.” Dara Myers is spending her first year at the farmers market.

Liberty reaches milestone of 20,000 meters install meters for all 126,000 customers by 2025. Evidence of the app’s merits are already being reported. An upstate New York resident using EyeOnWater noticed high usage at their home while they were traveling. The customer contacted Liberty, who reviewed the flow data and sent technicians to investigate. After no issues were found on the Liberty system, the customer knew the problem was coming from inside the home. The customer called a plumber, who confirmed a leak in the garage. “It was a mess,” the customer said. “If my husband hadn’t seen the usage on the EyeOnWater app, there would have been much more damage. The app really mitigated a disaster.” With the widespread use of the technology, more and more customers have the potential to benefit. “Reaching 20,000 installations is exciting for the company and our customers,” Alario added. “AMI puts customers in control, allowing them to monitor their water use and therefore lower their bills and conserve this precious resource.” Customers with an installed AMI meter can download EyeOnWater, the new advanced water meter app, at Liberty. EyeOnWater.com/signup, the Apple Store, or Google Play.

Liberty of Lynbrook and East Rockaway has reached the milestone of installing 20,000 advanced water meters across Long Island and Upstate New York. The meters empower customers to make informed decisions on their water usage. Through the EyeOnWater app, customers can see how much water they use by tracking hourly, daily, weekly, and yearly usage data, as well as receiving leak notifications. Leak notifications are designed to prevent damage to a home or business by allowing customers to address leaks before they wreak havoc. “In order for customers to limit their water usage, it is crucial that they first have a real-time understanding of how much water they are actually using. That is exactly what this technology does,” said Liberty president Chris Alario. “These tools allow customers to review their usage at their convenience, rather than knowing about it after the fact in their monthly bills. We encourage customers with these advanced meters to sign up for EyeOnWater and take advantage of functionality such as leak alerts that can help save water and correct issues expeditiously.” The AMI meter replacements began in May 2020, and although slowed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Liberty is on track to

Returning to LIIFE on the big screen Bellmore Movies hosts 25th year of Long Island International Film Expo By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

tight-knit community, of neighbors supporting neighbors means everything to independent filmmakers. That feeling was abundantly clear last week at the Bellmore Movies & Showplace with the Long Island International Film Expo. Now in its 25th year, the expo returned to the 107-year-old cinema on Bellmore’s Pettit Avenue on July 13, having already established itself as a well-respected festival in the independent film community. The expo — more commonly known as LIIFE — was co-created by Debra Markowitz and Henry Stampfel from the Long Island Film/TV Foundation, along with Stampfel’s wife, Anne. The Stampfels own Bellmore Movies as well as a sister theater, Malverne Cinema. Nassau County officials sponsor the expo each year, prompting Markowitz to thank not only County Executive Bruce Blakeman, but also Richard Kessel from the county’s Industrial Development Agency. “We’re so proud of what we put together,” Markowitz said, “and how it’s grown.” The expo featured more than 120 films — some produced by Long Island filmmakers — as well as many more from across the country and around world. Films and documentaries of all genres were shown through July 16. The expo has been hosted at various venues since its inception at Hofstra University, Nassau Community College, and even Malverne Cinema on Hempstead Avenue. For the past 15 years — with the exception of 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic — Bellmore Movies has hosted the expo. First opened in 1915 at 222 Pettit Ave., Bellmore Movies boasts a single screen with a stage, proving a cozy venue for filmmakers to interact with audiences during post-screening Q-and-As. Directly north of the Bellmore Long Island Railroad station, film buffs travel in from New York City and other parts of the island just to attend, Markowitz said. The expo also attracts celebrities — actors from films and television series who are not only supporters of LIIFE, but filmmakers themselves. Lukas Hassel, best known for his role as Elias VanDyke on NBC’s “The Blacklist,” was in attendance this year, speaking about the importance of movie festivals like LIIFE. “Filmmaking is hard,” he said. “It’s one thing if you have a studio backing you with $200 million and celebrity actors, but independent filmmaking is really hard. It’s all about reaching out to your colleagues, to your friends, to your community. This festival — the Long Island International Film Expo — is an example of how important it is to build a community.” For filmmakers like Michael Scully — who created the dramedy “Montauk 77” with his 15-year-old daughter Michayla — being back on Long Island was the perfect way to wrap up nearly a year’s worth of

BELLmORE mOViEs & Showplace hosted the 25th year of its Long Island International Film Expo, attracting filmmakers and audiences from across Nassau County and beyond.

How you can watch ‘montauk 77’ ‘Montauk 77,’ a dramatic comedy by Michael and Michayla Scully, was picked up by Gravitas Ventures, an independent film distributor, and will be released Aug. 30 through video on demand as well as streaming platforms like iTunes and Amazon Prime Video. To learn more about the film that was featured at the recent Long Island International Film Expo, visit Montauk77Film.com. Anyone interested in submitting a film to be considered for next year’s festival, visit LongIslandFilm.com. HENRy AND ANNE Stampfel, owners of the Bellmore Movies & Showplace — and co-creators of the Long Island International Film Expo — said they were grateful to see the event come together once again. festivals. Scully, who lives in Levittown, says he’s been making short films for nearly 20 years, and was encouraged by his daughter to take the plunge into creating a feature film — which they ended up writing and starring in together. “Montauk 77” — featuring Michael as a “down-on-his-luck” ride-hailing driver, and Michayla has his snarky teenaged passenger — premiered last October at the New York Long Island Film Festival in Lindenhurst. “What I’ve learned over the last year is that you need communities like this to reach out and put these events together,” Scully said. “They’re very important to young artists. And older artists like myself.” Filming during the pandemic was a challenge, Scully noted, but it was his neighbors and friends that helped bring the film together. “We had a lot of community members come out, businesses saying, ‘Sure you

can shoot it at our diner, you can shoot it at our bank, you can shoot it at our town library,’” he said. “We’re here for the 25th anniversary — back home on the island. It means so much for us — and our film — to be here.” The Stampfels, who say they work nearly every day of the year to plan the expo, were grateful to host it once again in a building many moviegoers have come to love. “It’s not an official historic site, but it is to us,” Henry said. “This takes an entire year. When we’re done with this, we take a break for like 30 days, and then we go back to plan on our next one. This is the 25th year, and we hope to go another 25 years.”

DEBRA mARkOwitz, cO-cREAtOR of the Long Island International Film Expo, said she was thankful for the support the program receives annually from sponsors.

Students in grades seven through 12 are participating in physical education, including yoga, weightlifting, agility drills, and workouts. This year, the East Rockaway High School Summer Program launched at Rhame Avenue School the first week of July. The summer program covers ninth through 12th grade English, U.S. history, world history, and geometry. “Students who demonstrate significant

regression over school breaks throughout the year are invited to participate,” McNally said, “This program focuses on reinforcing skills necessary to progress to the next grade level.” The six-week program includes elementary and secondary school students concluding August 12. McNally provided an update on the search process to replace the Rhame Avenue School principal. “It is our goal to have our new principal placed before the start of the school year to ease the transition from parents and students,” he said.

STEPPING OUT

glides onto the ice

By Karen Bloom

irque du Soleil is acclaimed for pushing the boundaries of performance. Now they’re doing it on the ice, blending circus arts and ice skating. Their latest tour, which arrives at UBS Arena in Elmont this weekend — Thursday, July 21 through Sunday, 24 — is a first for Cirque du Soleil, which has been creating spectacles for over 40 years. “Crystal,” as the show is called, takes audiences on a journey into a whimsical frozen playground where skating mingles with acrobatics and aerial feats. The narrative follows the heroine — Crystal — who feels misunderstood and out of sync with herself, in this coming-of-age tale from Cirque’s creative team, developed by Shana Carroll and Sébastien Soldevila. “There are many layers within it,” Artistic Director Rob Tannion says. “It’s not an outcome where everything is happy, but it’s fulfilling in that we go on a journey with her. There’s a beautiful message within the show and at the same time, visually stunning, and if you’re looking to be thrilled by the acrobatics and technical precision of the skaters, you will be.” It was a challenging production for the company, which began rehearsing in 2017, to translate the acrobats’ movements from their usual surface to the ice, while adding skaters into the mix. “Our goal was to engage the Cirque people and cross over and bring in skating of all forms. And at the same time maintain our style,” says Tannion. “We were going from our world on a hard floor to bring the same skill set on ice. And we did that to great success. We’ve been able to combine multiple genres and put on a show that has a lot of life and breadth.” All with Cirque du Soleil’s trademark aesthetic: Extravagant visuals, costuming and a lively soundtrack that seamlessly blends popular music like Béyonce’s ‘Halo,’ U2’s ‘Beautiful Day’ and Sia’s ‘Chandelier’ with Cirque’s signature sound. The 43-person cast features 19 skaters, including former Olympians and extreme skaters. “There’s much to enjoy on

multiple levels,” Tannion adds. No matter how clichéd it sounds, he says,” it’s a show for everyone.” Audiences experience what Tannion describes as many “hold your breath” moments throughout the two-and-halfhours: pole and trapeze acts, juggling, singles and pairs ﬁgure skating, fastpaced speed skating, and even some hockey action. “It all comes together with what Cirque does so well, playing with the sensation of risk,” says Tannion. “It’s a really action-packed, visually-packed, emotion-packed couple of hours.” For additional information and to purchase tickets, visit UBSArena.com.

Kids can make, view and talk about art all summer long with four Indigenous artists at Long Island Children’s Museum. Toyuskanash, the Algonquin word for ‘bridges,’ brings together artists from the Shinnecock Nation to explore how they bridge traditional and contemporary culture and bridge gaps in history and knowledge with surrounding communities. The exhibit showcases the artwork of ﬁne art photographer Jeremy Dennis, painter and tradition bearer Denise Silva-Dennis, beadwork appliqué and ribbon work artist Tohanash Tarrant and painter David Bunn Martine. Each artist’s creative process is highlighted during two-week residencies including artist-led workshops and daily activities for visitors led by museum staff members. Through Sunday, Sept. 4. Long Island Children’s Museum, Museum Row, Garden City. For more information, call (516) 224-5800 or visit LICM.org.

Music of Impressionism Join Maestro David Bernard and his virtuoso musicians for an art-inspired performance at Nassau County Museum of Art. They present works by Debussy, Ravel, Franck and other French composers who were part of the Impressionist group, often creating compositions with speciﬁc paintings in mind. The lush orchestral sound of these beloved works, performed outdoors (or in the tent if the weather does not cooperate) are the perfect complement to the colorful paintings inside the building. Also take the time to explore ‘Other Worlds Than This,’ the just-opened exhibition, and, of course, stroll the grounds, including the Sculpture Garden.

The Elks recently attended Troop 485 Awards Night for Eagle Scouts Makhi Green and Deshad Lewis Otero, who both earned the highest scouting honors. Makhi’s project for attaining his Eagle Scout was working with the local children’s shelter for emergency situations as they find out it’s not safe for the young children to go back to their homes with their personal belongings in plastic bags. He raised funds, built several shelving units, and also purchased plastic bins to fit the units he made for them. Deshad’s project for attaining his Eagle Scout was to take care of the kitchen at

the Wesley United Methodist Church, a location where the Troop meets and attends meetings. Deshad undertook the project by rounding up a troop of workers that formed his work crew, washing down the walls and cabinets, followed by a fresh coat of paint. He also raised funds to replace all cabinet hardware from the doors to the draws. The Exalted Ruler of Lodge No. 1 presented both recipients with a framed Elks Certificate of Accomplishment, and along with an American Flag, they received a check for $50.

Ask The Architect

ence started when I began working with panels in 1977. The new president, Jimmy Carter, had solar panels installed on the White House, and I naively thought we were moving toward energy independence after the terrible years of the early-’70s oil embargo, with long lines at gas pumps. But it didn’t last. Carter’s suconte eeper cessor, President Ronald Reagan, had the solar panels removed because of a roof leak, and that ended the recognition of alternate-energy sources for many years. There’s a picture in my office of me standing with Gov. George Pataki after I gave him a tour of the first residential solar panel installation on Long Island. It became part of the Lilco energy program, in which you could get a $1,000 reduction on your annual electric bill, and the state rebate was signed into law at that event. Because I was there at the beginning, I have a foundation of belief in solar, but my realistic vantage point may not sit well with solar consumers or sellers. I was the one who sat in meetings with Lilco research-and-development personnel, and sold the idea that solar investment made sense, because they could buy generated power for less than 10 cents on the dollar from people’s solar panels and still sell it back for $1 and not have to spend tons of money on new power plants. Let the people generate the power for them. They loved the idea when I explained it that day. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize they’re not generating power for their own homes. The inverter that comes with your system sends the power from your roof right back on to the power grid, to be distributed back through your meter for you to pay for what your system produced for free. The maximum discount is still the $1,000 off, so that’s why it takes many years to pay for an average system, which costs around $18,000. If you lease, then the rebate that can reduce the cost by as much as $5,000 goes directly to the leasing company, not you. Nice profit up front for the leasing company, while you accumulate the savings over a much longer time period. Even though more burdened systems, like California and Massachusetts utilities, have policies that rebate and encourage utilizing your own battery backup power in an essentially off-the-grid manner that allows the utility to avoid major power failures, your local utility, so far, has no such program that I’m aware of. At $8,000 to $10,000 for each pack, I have yet to see one installed locally. Good luck!

opinions

ith all the media hype about sharks these days, our thoughts went to the late Peter Benchley, who wrote many books during his life, but who will be best remembered for his best-seller, “Jaws,” about a series of shark attacks in the small beach town of Amity, whose residents became terrified of the big fish. The film also frightened audiences around the world, becoming the blockbuster summer movie of 1975. Benchley, who had quit his job as a speechwriter for JAMEs President Lyndon when he BERnsTEin Johnson was in his late 20s, became a millionaire after “Jaws” was published and became a movie starring Roy Scheider as Sheriff Martin Brody, a good guy who wants to warn the town about the roving shark, and Murray Hamilton as Mayor Larry Vaughn, who worries more about losing tourist revenue than about sharks. Movie theaters were packed and sharks were the talk of that long-ago summer. Benchley became something of

a folk hero. The book sold more than 10 million copies. What did Benchley think? He regretted writing the book. In 2000, in an interview with the Animal Attack Files, Benchley said, “What I now know, which wasn’t known when I wrote ‘Jaws,’ is that there is no such thing as a rogue shark which develops a taste for human flesh.” “No one appreciates how vulnerable they are to destruction,” he added. Benchley’s shark-hunter character, Quint, is thought to have been based on the career of Frank Mundus, a Montauk-based charter captain who killed whales merely for chum and harpooned sharks, a practice that is outlawed today. In the last few years of his life, Mundus became a shark conservationist. So did Benchley, who spent his later years trying to persuade people that sharks weren’t necessarily out to get them, that they had a purpose in nature, and that, most of all, shark attacks were extremely rare, despite all the television broadcasts about them, which often borrowed the theme from “Jaws.” In another interview, Benchley said,

“For all their power, they are amazingly fragile. Sharks are no longer the villains. They are the victims.” According to Ocearch, a nonprofit that is dedicated to researching great white sharks and other large sea predators, the odds of dying in a shark attack are 1 in 3.7 million. Hundreds of sharks are killed each year, according to the organization. Christopher Paparo, manager of the school of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the State University at Stony Brook, noted that there are more than 1,000 fatal car accidents in New York state per year. There is a better chance of being injured in an auto accident, Paparo said, than of even seeing a shark. Still, all the experts warn that sharks are not to be taken lightly. Beachgoers are warned to swim only in waters where there is a lifeguard, to always swim with others, to avoid wearing shiny objects in the water that may attract sharks and, if they see bunker, which sharks eat, to stay out of the water until the bunker pass. “I wouldn’t like to be bit by a shark,” Paparo said.

e later learned that there’s no such thing as a rogue humanseeking shark.

There have been reports of several shark bites and sightings off Nassau County’s South Shore. The television and radio reports tend toward the dramatic. In a paper in 2020 by Janey Sellars, a marine biology graduate from Exeter University, the media take a big hit for their coverage of sharks. “With recent technological advances,” Sellars wrote, “the media is now able to reach more people and influence the relationship (between human and sharks) by framing stories and twisting the truth to give sharks a bad name.” “Once regarded as a valuable and elusive creature, they are now perceived as ocean monsters,” Sellars added. “It is an issue that has only increased with time and is likely to continue as human and shark populations continue to overlap.” Benchley, who was the first-ever host of “Shark Week,” Discovery Channel’s celebration of the big fish, may have put it best: “The shark in an updated ‘Jaws’ could not be the villain; it would have to be written as the victim, for worldwide, sharks are much more the oppressed than the oppressors.” James Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

We are drifting so far from the founders’ ideals

he screams and cursing coming from the Oval Office on Dec. 18, 2020, were the sound track to an attempted coup. According to former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson and other witnesses who have testified before the Jan. 6 congressional committee, various fringe Trump supporters, including Sydney Powell, Rudy Giuliani and Michael Flynn, gathered to encourage the soon-to-be former president to keep contesting the election results, maybe commandeer the voting RAnDi machines, maybe KREiss declare a national emergency. Trump was all ears. White House aides, some of whom have testified, were appalled by the spectacle of screaming, foul language and bizarre conspiracy theories bouncing off the walls. Alcohol flowed. That was Dec. 18. A few hours later, when the meeting broke up, Trump tweeted about an upcoming gathering at the Capitol on Jan. 6 that promised to be “wild.” According to published reports and testimony at the Jan. 6 hearings, Giuliani had to be escort-

ed out the White House to be sure he actually left. Apparently when the president breaks all the rules, it gives others permission to exceed their power, cross boundaries, pander to violent fringe groups and traffic in disinformation. The Trump presidency was rotten, and the stench came from the top. I think about the disgrace of it all, the absence of decorum and respect for the office of the president. I think, too, of the principled, high-minded individuals who have walked those halls and sat at the president’s desk. Trump and his extremist pals have sullied the space in an unprecedented way. If their delusional and illegal suggestions had been taken, it could have brought down our government. It certainly has changed our America. I think about all this from an Airbnb house in Maine, down the block from a small cemetery dating back to 1792. That was 16 years after the signing of the Declaration of Independence; the Revolutionary War had ended just nine years earlier. The Constitutional Convention took place in the summer of 1787, so in 1792, when people were settled in this area, the Con-

stitution was a freshly minted document, only 5 years old. This area feels like early America, plain clapboard houses flying the Stars and Stripes, simple plantings and rock walls and stone boundaries. It isn’t difficult at all to walk down this road and imagine how it looked over 200 years ago. I feel connected here to all that is basic and good about our beginnings. It didn’t take long, however, for news of the “unhinged” meeting in the Trump White House in December 2020, to reach me. We’re on vacation, but I can’t tune out the Jan. 6 hearings, which are investigating the attempted insurrection. It feels like a civic responsibility. As witnesses come forward and speak to the misinformation, erratic behavior and unprincipled tactics of Trump’s coterie, I realize it isn’t just the rules and laws of democracy that are being undone — it is its very spirit. The people Trump brought into the Oval Office to advise him in December 2020 are the misfits, the pardoned felons, the purveyors of disproved conspiracy theories. They are the dregs, and they sat where, over time, Churchill and de Gaulle

hat might’ve happened on Dec. 18, 2020, if we’d been attacked?

and popes and the king and queen of England and Gorbachev and Rabin once sat. Other presidents sat there, too, some better than others, but no one as amoral and undignified as Trump. That the likes of Giuliani and Powell and Flynn could have access to a president is unconscionable. That they could proffer unproven conspiracy theories and advocate against a legitimately elected new president speaks to the unraveling of our democracy. The “unhinged” Dec. 18 meeting in the Oval Office went on for hours, according to witnesses. I wonder what would have happened if, while theories of Venezuelan interference in the election were being discussed, our country had been attacked. What if a missile had taken out New York City or a cyberattack had brought down our electrical grid? What if our water supplies had been poisoned or a killer bug had been let loose in the subways? What if ? Who would have made the decisions that would lead us in a moment of crisis? Who would have inspired the faith of the people and demonstrated the gravitas and good sense to find a path forward? That Dec. 18 meeting was gross and shocking and dangerous in so many ways. I hope the Biden team cleaned the carpets and aired out the room. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

road trip in a yellow Volkswagen Microbus so a young girl, played by Abigail Breslin, could compete in a beauty pageant. The plight of a man looking for his wife’s murderer, while unable to make long-term memories, in a story told in reverse, starring Guy Pearce. What it was like to grow up in Texas, a story told over nine years, allowing its young protagonist, played by Ellar Coltrane, to literally grow up in front of the cameras. Racial tensions at a fictional Ivy League school exposed, thanks to an extraordinary, can’t-miss performance by Tessa Thompson. We’ve seen, or at least heard of, all these films — “Little Miss Sunshine,” “Memento,” “Boyhood,” “Dear White People.” They have joined countless others that have not only provided a little bit of escape from our daily lives, but have stayed with us. And maybe even made us think. But none of these films would have even been part of the conversation if it weren’t for film festivals. It’s not Cannes or Sundance, but the Long Island International Film Festival — or LIIFE, as we all know it — is one of hundreds of such festivals across the

country and around the world that give filmmakers from all walks of life a chance to be seen. And maybe even to be remembered. And it’s that very reason why it’s important that we continue to support such festivals, not just with some of our county dollars, but maybe a few of our own, too. You don’t have to look any further than Michael and Michayla Scully, the fatherdaughter team that pieced together the dramedy “Montauk 77” with nothing more than $30,000 and a dream. They put together a small crew to film the pair as a ridehail driver and young teenaged passenger at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, and put together a film that delighted audiences at Bellmore Movies & Showplace last week. Their dream is to have their film available on a streaming service near you (and they will) — something that wouldn’t even be remotely possible if it weren’t for film festivals like LIIFE. American film studios produce several hundred movies every year, but when you include independent filmmakers who have nowhere near the financial resources of these behemoths, we get well over a thousand — maybe two. Each year. Film festivals like LIIFE are labors of

love, with the only real reward to put productions on the screen we may not otherwise see. The hard work of people like Debra Markowitz and both Henry and Anne Stampfel can’t be — and shouldn’t be — ignored. When LIIFE started 25 years ago, most filmmakers had to choose between making a run for theaters or going directly to DVD. Today the distribution model is wide, from streaming to cable to just about anything. And it’s exciting. In fact, one might say, why do we need film festivals when someone with something worth seeing could turn to something like YouTube to get exposure on their own? But it’s really not that easy. Even after the long hours, days, weeks and months that went into making a film are over, their creators are tasked with finding venue after venue to showcase their work, hoping they can poke their head above so many others seeking the same thing. LIIFE is over for this year, but in just a few weeks, Markowitz and the Stampfels will be back at it again, planning for next year. And they’ll be waiting for you — maybe with the next “Blair Witch Project.” Or the next “Precious.” Or maybe even the next “Montauk 77.”

In keeping with protecting our residents with the most up to date equipment, we have retired the Lafrance pumper truck which was in service for almost 22 years. We have acquired a Pumper Truck from Hendrikson, a leader in the field to ensure the immediacy and safety of our residents. Since Super Storm Sandy, we have replaced the full fleet of Departmental Fire Trucks. Always mindful of the bottom line, the initial truck has been paid

in full, and the second truck has one final payment in late October. The Board of Trustees join me in saluting our First Responders. They are all everyday heroes! They knowingly put their own safety in jeopardy to serve and save. These outstanding brave men and women are the cornerstone of our community, and we thank them. God Bless and protect our dedicated Firefighters. God Bless our great Village. As I always remind our residents, the very best is

letters Island Park Mayor Michael McGinty To the Editor: I write today to give an update on our Island Park Fire Department resiliency and hardening project. This important project was funded through the New York State Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery in the amount of a 1.65 Million dollar grant. The project includes the installation of an elevator, raising and updating the plumbing, and includes an addition of another Bay to the North. This is the first reconstruction and rehabilitation effort for the Island Park Fire Department since 1976. My Board of Trustees stand with me, and stand with our community knowing the Island Park Fire Department is the soul of our great Village and I would like to thank Deputy Mayor Matthew Graci, Trustee Barbara VolpeRied, Irene Naudus, and Robert Tice for their valiant efforts on behalf of the Island Park Fire Department. Securing these grants has been an enormous and challenging effort. Super Storm Sandy changed the landscape for us, it was an absolute necessity to ensure our Fire Department had every resource possible which is vital to protect and serve our village and her residents. There has never been a time when the Island Park Fire Department didn’t answer the call to serve and protect.

everal years ago, the board of directors of Nassau University Medical Center approved spending nearly $8 million to build new executive offices on the 19th floor of the hospital, with unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline. Today, that infamous decision serves as a reminder that a hospital doesn’t exist to serve politicians and executives. Everything we do must be focused on the needs of our patients, their families, and employees. NUMC is Long Island’s only Level One trauma cenMatthew J. ter, and with that comes BRUDeRMaN distinction a responsibility to serve the most diverse patient population in our area. Our goal must be to ensure that everyone who walks through the doors of our facility is treated with the dignity, respect and care they deserve. No matter what community or background patients come from, they should have confidence that NUMC will provide them with the best possible care. Everyone should be a VIP. For too long the hospital’s reputation suffered because of poor planning and decision-making. Our fantastic doctors

and exceptional staff have long needed better support. County Executive Bruce Blakeman selected me not just to lead NUMC but also to fix this critically important institution for our community. Together with CEO Dr. Anthony Boutin and our outstanding team, we’re doing it. We’re putting people and patients first again. In just the past three months, we’ve begun plotting a new course for the hospital. We’ve reopened Long Island’s only multichamber hyperbaric unit to treat burn victims, carbon monoxide poisoning and decompression sickness — the bends. The unit can also be used for wound management, bone infections, and radiation tissue damage. It was closed for years due to red tape, but was recertified, and it is again available 24/7 for emergency use as well as regular patient treatment. Community members have asked for a cardiac catheterization lab at the hospital for some time now, and we should have some exciting news on that front soon. Cardiac catheterization services are critically important to our ability to handle emergency conditions and save lives. Their addition will be a significant benefit for the community. NUMC cares for patients regardless of their ability to pay, but that doesn’t mean

n just the past three months, the hospital has begun plotting a new course.

LetteRS yet to come. Stay tuned for one of the greatest revitalizations in the history of our Village, and a true renaissance continues. We are Island Parkers. We stand together! Sincerely, MAyOr MICHAEL MCGINTy

Which prayers are protected? To the Editor: On June 27, in a 6-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution protects the right of a school coach to pray in public on an athletic field during the school day in the presence of students — members of the team he coaches. Writing for the majority — the court’s six conservative members — Justice Neil M. Gorsuch asserted that the First Amendment offers that protection. “respect for religious expressions is indispensable to life in a free and diverse republic — whether those expressions take place in a sanctuary or on a field, and whether they manifest through the spoken word or a bowed

the hospital can’t have cutting-edge technology and treatment. In May, NUMC hired neurosurgeon Dr. David Weintraub, formerly of Northwell Health, who will head a new department of neurosciences. This will be a major growth area for NUMC, expanding our capabilities to include first-class treatments for spine, brain and nerve conditions. Also, in the coming weeks, we’ll begin renovating a number of key patient and visitor-facing spaces that have long needed upgrading. We are redesigning our emergency room entrance to improve access for ambulances. We’re going to do a better job of communicating with residents about our services and preventive care as well. Starting this summer, we’ll be launching a social media campaign in both English and Spanish that will involve every department at the hospital to inform the public about living healthier. We’ve named a new interim chief medical officer, Dr. Grace Ting, whose more than 30 years of experience will help improve patient care and better advocate for our physicians’ needs. We’re also putting a new emphasis on our extraordinary employees, working to attract outstanding new talent, and recognizing the care provided by our staff every day. Our

new employee recognition program begins this month. Another way we are putting people first is by ensuring the hospital’s longterm financial sustainability, with a comprehensive review of all financial standards and practices. In just its first week, our review uncovered more than $12 million in outstanding revenue the county owed the hospital. County Executive Blakeman promptly presented us with a check that cut our previous budget deficit significantly. We will announce a new financial management plan shortly. Our reviews have also uncovered potential fraud that led to the arrest of a former employee. While this kind of abuse is reprehensible, it underscored the need for a totally new approach to running the hospital. We launched a national search for a new chief financial officer, and will be making new efforts to increase revenue. A sound financial future for NUMC will mean more resources to reinvest in the hospital, its facilities, services and personnel. It’s an exciting time for us. With priorities that truly put patients and their families first, we’re going to make NUMC an even better, more modern medical center that people can trust for generations to come. Matthew J. Bruderman is the chairman of the Nassau University Medical Center board of directors.

head,” he wrote. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, in her dissent, wrote that in such a situation, many students would undoubtedly feel pressure not only to listen to the coach’s prayers, but in some cases feel compelled to act as if they are in total agreement with his words. The coach in the case, Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, is a devout Christian. Because of his insistence on continuing his public prayers, the Bremerton, Washington, public school where he coached did not renew his contract, and his termination as a coach ultimately led to his case being heard by the Supreme Court. Would the court have agreed to hear the case if the coach had been a Muslim, intoning Muslim prayers on the athletic field? A Hindu, intoning Hindu prayers on the athletic field? A Buddhist? A Jain? A Sikh? A member of the Baha’i faith? A Druze? A follower of Confucius? A believer in Shintoism? A member of the Native American Church? I wonder. MIrIAM LEVINE HELBOK Bronx
