Kids are having fun at summer camps across Malverne, W.H.

By NIColE FoRMISANo nformisano@liherald.com

Now that school is out, how are kids spending these long summer days?

For hundreds throughout Malverne and West Hempstead, the answer is summer camp. The Malverne Summer Recreation Program, Camp Lourdes and Hillel Day Camp have given children the opportunity to keep learning throughout their school-free months and have fun doing it.

“It’s a different learning opportunity from sitting in a classroom all day,” said a spokesperson for Hillel Day Camp, an Orthodox Jewish day

camp in Lawrence. More than 200 of this year’s campers are from West Hempstead. “There are so many different lessons that the kids are learning in camp that they don’t get to the other 10 months of the year.”

“They’re learning the skills to play and to be a team member,” she added. “They’re learning so many different kinds of things like that.”

The program, which runs through July and August, sees campers from toddlerhood into 9th grade. The children enjoy hot lunch, snacks, sports, a STEM program, and swimming. Plus, entertainment — bubble shows, ninja warrior courses, and science shows, to name a few — is Continued on page 4

you have to plan out what’s ahead and what’s behind.”

The Baris moved from the Bronx to Malverne in 2020, where, Rashidul said, the people — neighbors, teachers, school district administrators — made all the difference.

Within a week of their arrival, Rashidul said, neighbors were going out of their way to help the Baris, despite the fact that they were total strangers.

It was Rachel Yudine, principal of Davison Avenue Intermediate School, who discovered the extent of Suborno’s capabilities. She tested the then fourth-grader, and found that his reading level was that of a high school senior, and his math skills were far beyond. She recommended that he skip directly to his senior year of high school.

“Only in America this is possible,” Rashidul said. “In no other country is it truly possible, because there are massive barriers, and … you’re not going to find a Dr. Yudine or other people to remove those barriers. It’s really only possible in America.”

Even though his intellect surpassed that of many adults, however, the fact remained that Suborno was still a child. His social and emotional health was just as important to his parents as his intellectual growth. So they struck a compromise: Suborno split his school day between Davison, where he could continue to play with his friends, and Howard T. Herber Middle School, where he had more academic stimulation. And after he found he had a much easier time interacting with older classmates than he had anticipated, he eventually skipped to 12th grade. At age 10, Suborno was taking classes with those eight years his senior.

“I was very naive back then,” the 12-year-old said of his 10-year-old self. “I thought there wasn’t anything to be desired from high school, that there was no high school experience to be had, because I haven’t watched

at age 12, Suborno Bari is the youngest-ever graduate of malverne High School. He will be studying physics at new York university next month. any of those TV shows, or that one thing from Disney — the ‘High School Musical’? I didn’t have any idea of what to expect.”

What he wasn’t expecting at Malverne High was the depth of relationships to be had — that he could form meaningful social connections and enjoy the extracurriculars the school had to offer.

“My teachers were so supportive, and more importantly, I think those classmates and people really were so supportive and allowed me to develop in a way that wasn’t harmful,” Suborno said. “And I think that being able to talk to them like a normal human being, instead of someone to be pointed at, was really what helped me adapt, and it’s what helped me academically advance just as much as the studying that I did at home.”

He was taking college courses at the same time, and continues to do so this summer. Multivariable calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, real analysis — you name it, and he has mastered it at Stony Brook University, Hunter College, Brooklyn College, the New York City College of Technology, or the City College of New York.

When Suborno can’t be bothered to solve a math equation, he said, he enjoys much lighter pastimes — like talking with his brother, playing chess and contemplating his existence.

“All that matters is that your brain gets some time to rest,” he said. “Because, I mean, at some point your muscles are going to get strained, no matter how much you enjoy working out. It’s the same thing with your brain.”

Earlier this year, when he was still 11, Suborno was accepted by New York University. He’ll start classes next month. And, much like his father, he hopes to teach math or physics.

“Physics is just that beautiful connection, that bridge, between mathematics and real life — using mathematics to describe our real world,” he said. “And it couldn’t be more beautiful or more efficient. Because, I mean, physicists are humans, too. They’re not masochists who work all day in their evil lairs. They want to make things easy for themselves and others in the outside world to understand. They not only do things, but optimize them.”

Lakeview Kickball Day was a home run There are some men in every community who uplift those around them. Lakeview decided that it’s time to return the favor. The second annual Lakeview Kickball Day, organized by the Lakeview Civic Association, honored Al Lewis, Anthony Newsome, Darryl Harvey and Jordan Blue for their years of striving for excellence.

Al Lewis has been advocating for Lakeview since he moved to the neighborhood in 1967. He coached basketball and was a member of the Better Education Organization, which was responsible for ensuring kids in Lakeview had access to a bus to Davison Avenue Intermediate School.

Jordan Blue recently graduated from Malverne High School. Not only was he class president, but he was also heavily involved in extracurriculars and won the county championship on the track team. Outside of the classroom, he is involved with St. Paul AME Church and the NAACP Youth Council. He will be attending North Carolina State A&T University, an HBCU, where he will major in mechanical engineering.

Darryl Harvey works for the grounds crew in the Malverne School District, and goes above and beyond to help all the clubs, sports teams, staff and students. He’s a positive role model and support system for the young students.

“When I speak to people in the Malverne school district,” said Nicole Henderson, a member of the LCA and Malverne School Board, “they say ‘I don’t know what I’d do without him.’”

Anthony Newsome, affectionately nicknamed “Bobo,” is a longstanding member of the Lakeview Fire Department and describes the department as his family. When Newsome returned from school, the department welcomed him back with open arms. Since then, he’s become increasingly involved in not only the fire department, but the Lakeview community as a whole.

“We’re here to take a moment and honor some of the men in our community that have worked and labored in Lakeview for so many years,” said LCA President Lisa Ortiz. “Giving up their time, their hard work and effort, and really showing how important it is to impact our community.”

Protecting Your Future with Michael and Suzanne Ettinger Attorneys-at-Law

Second Marriage Planning In second marriage planning, a co-trustee is sometimes recommended on the death of the first spouse. While both spouses are living and competent they run their trust or trusts together. But when one spouse dies, what prevents the other spouse from diverting all of the assets to their own children? Nothing at all, if they alone are in charge. While most people are honorable, and many are certain their spouse would never do such a thing, strange things often happen later in life. A spouse may become forgetful, delusional or senile or may be influenced by other parties. Not only that, but the children of the deceased spouse tend to feel very insecure when they find out their stepparent is in charge of all of the couple’s assets.

If you choose one of the deceased spouse’s children to act as co-trustee with the surviving spouse there is a conflict that exists whereby the stepchild may be reluctant to spend assets for the surviving spouse, because whatever is spent on that spouse comes out of the child’s inheritance. Then what if stepparent gets remarried? How will the stepchild trustee react

to that event? What if it turns out the stepchild liked the stepparent when his parent was living, but not so much afterwards?

Here is where the lawyer as co-trustee may provide an ideal solution. When one parent dies, the lawyer steps in as co-trustee with the surviving spouse. The lawyer helps the stepparent to invest for their own benefit as well as making sure the principal grows to offset inflation, for the benefit of the deceased spouse’s heirs. The stepparent in this case takes care of all their business privately with their lawyer. The trusts cannot be raided. These protections may also be extended for IRA and 401(k) money passing to the spouse through the use of the “IRA Contract”. Surviving spouse agrees ahead of time that they will make an irrevocable designation of the deceased spouse’s children as beneficiaries when the IRA is left to the surviving spouse, and further agrees that any withdrawals in excess of the required minimum distribution (RMD) may only be made on consent of the lawyer.

Second marriage planning offers numerous traps for the unwary.

is a summer camp as a celebration of community. Coordinated by the village, the program in Maurice W. Downing Primary School runs through Aug. 15. It sees children from kindergarten to 7th grade enjoy arts and crafts, a game room, snack time, and three different fields with different activities. On special days, campers enjoy field trips to Crossroads Farm, Sandy Lanes and Malverne Cinemas. The older children go on trips to enjoy laser tag, mini golf, and batting cages.

On the last day, all the campers go to Malverne High School to enjoy Water Day. It is exactly as it sounds — a day full of water slides, dunk tanks and water balloons.

“In more cases than ever, many families have parents working outside their home which makes Malverne’s Summer Camp all the more important as a valued service offered in our community,” said Malverne Mayor Tim Sullivan in an email. “But I know that our residents, the kids that participate and the camp employees know that it is much more than that. They look forward to meeting new friends, laughing with one another, friendly competition or even _______

enjoying an ice cream cone on a hot day or watching a movie on the big screen.

Administrators of all three camps say their favorite part of their programs is the lifelong bonds that are forged in their camps. Many children who grew up in the summer camps, return as counselors. Jill Valli, the Malverne Village Clerk and camp administrator alongside Camp Director Jake Phillips, said that nine out of 10 campers of the Malverne Summer Recreation Program return to be counselors.

“It’s like a tradition (for teenagers in Malverne),” Valli said, “That your first job is with Malverne Summer Rec.” It is the same way for Hillel Day Camp and Camp Lourdes.

“They can’t keep me away,” said Eileen Crinnion, a camper at Camp Lourdes growing up. She leads the Arts and Crafts program at the camp. “I just love it here. It’s really special. There’s no energy like Camp Lourdes.”

“He feels like this is his family,” the spokesperson for Hillel Day Camp said of her son, who is now a counselor in training. “It comes back to the community and camaraderie camp instills in the kids.”

She sees the power of prayer for hostages pschug@liherald.com

Pnina Knopf saw the power of prayer come to fruition with the June 8 rescue of Noa Argamani, a hostage who was held in Hamas captivity Since the Oct. 7 attack.

A board member and former National Council of Jewish Women-Peninsula Section president, Knopf, signed up for Nation on Pause, an online organization that facilitates prayer for hostages, on March 7. The Peninsula Section is based in Lawrence.

Since the Israel-Hamas war began in October, Knopf felt she needed a community and a way to help because of her close affiliation and love for Israel. She started attending temple every Saturday at Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre and became involved with Nation on Pause, where participants can either select or be assigned a hostage to pray for.

“For me, I felt more comfortable having them assign me a hostage,” Knopf said. “I didn’t want to pick one because to me they’re all important. Even though I was assigned one, I prayed for all of them.”

Despite the organizations instruction to do special actions during Shabbat to honor hostages, Knopf did daily actions in hopes of Argamani’s safe return home.

“The least I could do is pray for her

every day because I felt so helpless,” Knopf said.

When Knopf woke up on June 8, she learned of Argamani’s rescue and her reunion with her mother who has stage four cancer.

“Praying for Noa and belonging to this organization has given me a purpose,” Knopf said.

Since Argamani’s rescue, Knopf has asked for and been assigned another hostage to pray for, Kfir Bibas, a 10-monthold in captivity. She hopes for the opportunity to speak with Argamani one day.

“I’d say to her first and foremost, I could not be more grateful and happy for you that you were rescued and are alive and standing and reunited with your family,” Knopf said. “I cannot even imagine what you went through. I want you know that I’m just holding you in my heart. I pray for your healing and your recovery.”

Knopf grew up in a Jewish home and her father is buried in Israel where her family has a cemetery plot. She communicates with 14 of her relatives every week, who are living in Israel, some of which are fighting in the Israeli Defense Forces.

“When you’re living in a warzone, you don’t ask people how they’re doing,” Knopf said of her cousins who she speaks with. “I just tell them ‘I love you, I’m thinking of you, and I’m praying for you.”

Pnina Knopf, left and Pam Korn, NCJW Peninsula section board members attended the March AmericanDefamation League Never is Now summit in support of combating antisemitism and supporting Israel among other efforts.

She had visited family there in 1971, 2011 and 2019 with her son Ben when they attended a 40-person family reunion. Knopf plans to return on a mission and to see her relatives.

On March 6 and 7, she attended the Never is Now antisemitism summit at the Javits Center in New York City, hosted by the American-Defamation League, with NCJW- Peninsula Section, continuing her active role in combating antisemitism and supporting Israel.

She has also expanded the Nation on Pause reach, introducing the organization to the Peninsula Section and the HERJC Israel Committee.

“Every prayer helps, every thought, every hope for everyone’s safe return and as quickly as possible,” Bonnie Sperry, executive director of NCJW-Peninsula section said. “If we can get this brought to my section swiftly, we will.”

Ducks pursue second-half turnaround

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Gutted by roster departures and injuries, the Long Island Ducks completed the first half of the Atlantic League baseball season July 5 with a 30-33 record, 13 games behind the North Division-winning York Revolution.

First-year Ducks manager Lew Ford, the franchise’s all-time hits leader with 1,036 and a key member of three championship teams, witnessed plenty of second-half turnarounds in his 13 seasons and is hopeful for another.

“I try to look at the positives and so far we’ve helped eight guys sign to play either in a Major League organization or professionally overseas,” Ford said. “We’ve had a ton of turnover and some injuries, but I like our roster entering the second half.”

The offense, led by outfielder Tyler Dearden and first baseman Frank Schwindel, did its part through the first 63 games averaging 5.25 runs. Dearden and Schwindel finished first and third in the league in batting, hitting .361 and .353, respectively, Dearden, who spent his first six professional seasons in the Boston Red Sox organization and played at the Triple-A level in 2023, appeared in 55 first-half games and cracked 12 homers with 46 RBIs and 37 runs.

His contract was purchased July 2 by the Minnesota Twins organization.

Schwindel, who has 145 games of Major League experience, appeared in 39 games and belted 11 homers and drove in 38 runs in the first half.

“Those guys were our MVPs in the first half,” Ford said of Dearden and Schwindel.

The most accomplished player Ford has penciled into the lineup is outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who appeared in 1,182 MLB games and won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2018. He totaled 109 homers, 449 RBIs and 69 stolen bases over an 11-yer career.

A lower body injury forced Bradley Jr. to miss 35 games thus far. When healthy, he’s raked to the tune of a .360 average, 7 homers and 22 RBIs. Catcher Chance Sisco, with nearly 200 MLB games under his belt, hit a team-leading 14 homers in the first half. Ivan Castillo has been steady with the glove and batted .298 with 6 homers, 23 RBIs and 7 steals in 42 first-half games.

Improving a team ERA of 5.34 and a league-worst .280 opponents’ batting average will go a long way in the Ducks’ chances of getting back to the playoffs. By far their most impressive arm to date is reliever Ramon Santos, who carries a 0.71 ERA with 3 wins (one shy of team leader Stephen Woods Jr.) and 45 strikeouts in 25 innings.

“We have to pitch better and the staff knows that,” Ford said. “They’re all capable.”

Ducks reach 9 million fans all-time

“This is another special day in the history of this great franchise,” Ducks General Manager Sean Smith said. “Reaching 9 million fans is a testament to the incredible support from our fan base since we first opened the gates in 2000 and to the fun and excitement Ducks baseball continues to provide Long Islanders every year.”

Five-year-old Ethan Oldham from Islip entered through the West Gate at 5:56 p.m. with his mother, Katie; father, Craig; and baby brother, Nolan. In doing so, Ethan became the 9 millionth fan in franchise history to attend a Ducks game in their home ballpark.

Long Island became the first club in Atlantic League history to reach the milestone attendance figure despite having begun play in the league’s third year of existence (2000). The Ducks are also currently the league’s all-time leader in sold out crowds with 707, have led the league in attendance 17 times and currently lead the league in 2024 attendance as well with an average of more than 4,500.

Ethan was recognized during a VIP onfield ceremony for being the 9 millionth fan.

Sheldon Ellison, General Manager of the Levittown P.C. Richard & Son location, presented the lucky fan with a $1,000 gift card to use at any of the Ducks charter sponsor’s locations. In addition, the Ducks presented Ethan with a jersey featuring “9 Million” as the name on the back and the number “24”, representing this season. Ethan threw out a ceremonial first pitch, received a 2024 Ducks team-signed baseball, and he and his family were upgraded to VIP tickets for the night.

Registration dates won’t help Jewish voters Two Saturdays in the fall — and one Thursday — will conflict with Shabbat and Rosh Hashana

By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

Voter registration programs aim to make voting more accessible for people, and to encourage them to participate in the democratic process. But a recent directive from the state Board of Elections has done just the opposite for Jewish constituents, county executive Bruce Blakeman says.

A statewide voter registration date — this year, Thursday, Oct. 3 — is required by state law. A second, local voter registration program also takes place in Nassau County, but the dates that program may take place is up to the state Board of Elections, rather than the county’s.

The state gave the county board two options to choose from: Sept. 28 or Oct. 5. Both are Saturdays.

That makes the voter registration program inaccessible for observant Jewish people, as well as Seventh-Day Adventists, and is antithetical to the program’s purpose of diversity and inclusion, Blakeman said at a news conference last week.

Blakeman appeared with county legislators Bill Gaylor and Mazi Pilip; the Legislature’s presiding officer, Howard Kopel; Comptroller Elaine Phillips and Rabbi Yossi Lieberman, of the Chabad of West Hempstead, on July 11 at Halls

The State Board of Elections gave Nassau County two Saturdays to choose from for a local voter registration program, making the program inaccessible to observant Jews, County Executive Bruce Blakeman said at a July 11 news conference.

Pond Park, in West Hempstead, to urge Attorney General Letitia James to step in and take action to correct the state election board’s decision.

“We are here in West Hempstead, which has a very large Jewish population,” said Blakeman, who is the county’s first Jewish executive. “And quite frankly, Nassau County is home to probably the third-largest Jewish county in population in the United States, and we

have a very large population of SeventhDay Adventists, especially in the Elmont and Franklin Square areas. So we believe that the state is making a big mistake, and we would ask them to correct that mistake.”

“As we welcome a voter registration program and we encourage everyone to participate in an election, I would expect from our state leadership to be sensitive for Shabbat,” Pilip said. “Shab-

bat is a day for many Jewish people, they are resting, they are going to synagogue, they don’t work, they don’t use phones, they don’t do anything that typically they’d do on a regular day.”

Even the statewide voter registration date of Oct. 3 is problematic for Jewish constituents, Kopel said.

“Nobody’s saying it’s necessarily deliberate,” Kopel said, “but let’s also remember that not only is that Thursday date a workday, it is also, as it happens, the day after Rosh Hashana. It is a fast day. Some people don’t feel well — they’re fasting, they can’t get out, they’re not up to it.”

Because the Saturday dates for the county program were finalized by state legislation, they cannot be changed without legislative action. The state Board of Elections, however, has the power to change the statewide registration program from a Thursday to a Sunday, so it is not on a working day. Blakeman called on James to direct the state board to make that change.

“It should be a very simple thing to do,” Kopel said. “Just go ahead, make the change. And I would also urge our officials to be a little bit more sensitive and a little bit more careful, and think about what you’re doing before you go ahead and do it. Because this was just really careless.”

Proudly Jewish.

Proudly Zionist.

Proudly American.

A Mineola rededication for Nassau’s 125th ramid@liherald.com

Despite pouring rain outside the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola on July 12, there was a joyful rededication ceremony for the building, a highlight of Nassau County’s yearlong 125thanniversary celebration. Attendees reflected on the county’s journey from its separation from New York City, in 1899, to its present-day status as one of the bestknown, busiest, most vibrant and culturally diverse counties in the United States.

Moderated by County Executive Bruce Blakeman, the event brought together elected officials, local historians, and Tweed Roosevelt, the great-grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, to honor the rich history and legacy of both the county and the former president.

“Today we reaffirm our commitment to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt, a great president, a great governor, a police commissioner, a state legislator,” Blakeman said. “Someone who was a war hero, and someone who overcame tremendous adversity to achieve so many great things.”

The county’s origin story was, in effect, an act of secession, according to historians. In 1898, when New York City annexed Queens County, its three eastern towns — Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay — pushed to split away, drawing an invisible boundary between themselves and the newly expanded city. On Jan. 1, 1899, Nassau County was born, and its suburban future firmly secured.

The county building, designed by the architectural firm Shreve, Lamb & Harmon, best known for designing the Empire State Building, is historically significant, because then Gov. Teddy Roosevelt himself helped lay the cornerstone in 1900. When U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi was

Tim Baker/Herald

Tweed Roosevelt, President Theodore Roosevelt’s greatgrandson, honored the rich history and legacy of both the county and the former president. serving as county executive in 2002, he announced that the building, a former county courthouse, would be renamed in honor of Roosevelt.

In 2005, a replica of a 17-foot statue of Roosevelt that stands on Theodore Roosevelt Island, in the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., was installed outside the building in Mineola. Now the statue’s plaque recognizes the county’s historic milestone.

Roosevelt’s legacy as a public servant and leader is extensive. He was born in New York City on Oct. 27, 1858, into a wealthy family. Though he was frail and asthmatic as a child, he was determined to pursue a vigorous lifestyle that would define most of his life.

Roosevelt’s education was a mix of private tutoring and formal schooling, culminating in his graduation

from Harvard in 1880. His political career began with his election to the State Assembly in 1882, where he earned a reputation as a reformer. As president of the New York City Board of Police Commissioners in 1895, he fought corruption and modernized the police force through hands-on inspections and reforms.

Appointed assistant secretary of the Navy in 1897, Roosevelt prepared the Navy for the Spanish-American War, and subsequent leading the Rough Riders, the first U.S. volunteer cavalry. His heroism propelled him to the governorship of New York in 1898, where he implemented significant labor, health care and conservation reforms.

Roosevelt’s New York-honed leadership led to the vice presidency in 1900, and the presidency just a year later, when William McKinley was assassinated. His progressive policies, including trust-busting and conservation efforts, were influenced by his New York experiences.

Roosevelt’s connection to New York remained strong throughout his life. His home at Sagamore Hill, in Oyster Bay, was his retreat as well as a hub of intellectual and political activity, and played a large role in his personal and political life. The name of the main house on the 150-acre estate, which he bought in 1880, is Native American for “chief,” and it was the scene of many milestones in Roosevelt’s life, from family moments to political decisions.

“He spent the better part of his life here,” his greatgrandson, Tweed Roosevelt, said during the event. “He’s reputed to have said on the day he died to his wife, ‘Dear, you have no idea how much I love Sagamore Hill.’”

“Teddy Roosevelt is a man that we all should try to emulate,” Scott Fairgrieve, president of the Nassau County Historical Society, said. “He was a family man.

He was a great president of the United States, and he loved this country.”

Runners lined up at the start line in Eisenhower Park. The race raises money for law enforcement individuals and their families in times of crisis.

A 5K run shows appreciation for police Greg Waxman, of Malverne, was one of the 500 people who gathered in Eisenhower Park on June 27 for the 33rd annual Long Island Police Appreciation Run. The “Patriot Man” ran with his signature style, holding the American Flag.

The event raises money for the Police Crisis Fund, which provides support for law enforcement individuals and their families during times of emergency.

The event was held in Eisenhower Park as participants including, police officers from both Nassau and Suffolk County, residents from around Long Island, and representatives from David Learner Associates came out to participate in the 5K run.

David Learner Associates, who sponsored the event, took to the stage after the run to present awards to runners in different categories. Jonathan Schloth had the overall best time, finishing the race in just over 15 minutes.

This years run had special meaning as the crisis fund just recently was able to provide aid to Kevin Goumas, a Nassau County officer, whose newborn son just recently needed extensive heart surgery. This is just one of many ways the crisis fund gives back to police officers in need.

For more on how the run and crisis fund has helped many, visit DavidLerner.com.

Ahead of the race, Kevin McQuillan sang ‘The Star Spangled Banner.’

Local musicians and fans gather in tribute to the beloved musician

By Karen Bloom Harry Chapin’s tragic death is now many decades behind us, but his music and philanthropy remain forever enshrined in Long Island’s collective consciousness. Stuart Markus, a longtime fixture on the local folk-acoustic scene, cherishes his role as guardian of Chapin’s legacy, organizing the yearly memorial concert each summer.

Markus, who is based in Malverne, remains just as passionate about Chapin’s music and his humanitarian zeal as when he began this tribute event — taking on the role of concert organizer — 21 years ago. It has now moved on from its longtime home at Chapin’s namesake theater in Eisenhower Park — following last year’s well-publicized kerfuffle with Nassau County officials — to the Chapin Rainbow Stage in Huntington’s Heckscher Park. Some 30 musicians will gather with fans on Sunday, July 21, regrouping for this year’s edition of “Just Wild About Harry.”

“I’ve long thought it would be wonderful and extremely appropriate to do the show in Huntington, where Harry and Sandy lived and raised their family,” Markus says. “Harry is still held in such beloved regard by residents of the town and public officials at all levels.”

Despite the years that have passed since Chapin’s shocking death on the Long Island Expressway en route to his ill-fated performance in Eisenhower Park in July 1981, the man and his music still resonates. In fact, several show regulars were among the crowd when what was supposed to be a joyous event turned into a vigil, according to Markus.

• Sunday, July 21, 7 p.m.

“Harry is so beloved in memory on Long Island,” Markus Admission is free. says. “You don’t have to look too hard to find someone who • Heckscher Park, located off met him, whose school he did a benefit for, or someone who’s Main Street (Route 25A) and been helped by one of his charities. It’s so meaningful for the Prime Avenue, Huntington music community to come together and, in effect, do the • Long Island Cares’ staff concert he might have given.” and volunteers will be And come together they do — year after year. “I never collecting donations of nonexpected it would go on this long,” Markus says. “When I first perishable food at a tent at started doing the show I thought it would run its cycle. Instead, the entrance to the Chapin each year it keeps growing and keeps getting better. It’s such Rainbow Stage a wonderful concert and everyone has a great time, which is a tribute to what a great man he (Chapin) was.”

The troubadour’s song catalogue is creatively interpreted by each act, who make it their own, while honoring Chapin. “We’ve had some amazing arrangements, from folky to country, torch-song style to hard rock,” adds Markus. “Throughout the two decades that we’ve been presenting the show, I’ve always encouraged everyone to make the songs fresh, however they imagine them. They’re not just reproducing them the way Harry did.”

Markus is pleased to welcome Chapin’s daughter, singer-songwriter Jennifer Chapin, in her first performing appearance at this year’s concert. She’ll do “I Wanna Learn a Love Song,” which tells the story of Chapin meeting his future wife Sandy Cashmore in 1966 and their romance. It was included on his 1974 album “Verities & Balderdash.”

“It means a lot to her and the family that we’re doing this in Huntington, where they grew up,” Markus adds.

In another first, the lineup also includes Cantor Lisa Wharton, of Temple Beth Emeth in Mount Sinai, who appears with her husband, percussionist Akiva Wharton, and Cantor Judy Merrick, of Plainview Jewish Center. They’ll perform “I Wonder What Would Happen,” which Markus describes as very appropriate as “it’s a spiritual, gospel feeling song.”

Also Cantor Talya Smilowitz, with Oyster Bay’s Congregation L’Dor V’Dor, also graces the stage; Markus accompanying her for “Saturday Morning.”

“She has an amazing voice and in the chorus melody it just soars,” he enthuses.

Also participating, as always, are stalwarts of the local music community — including returnees Roger Street Friedman, Frank Walker, Patricia Shih and Stephen Fricker, Robinson Treacher, MediaCrime, Judith Zweiman, Martha Trachtenberg, Robin Greenstein, Christine Solimeno, and Grand Folk Railroad. They are joined, of course, by Markus, who performs with his longtime trio Gathering Time.

As is their signature, Markus, with Gathering Time, arrive on stage at the end to conclude the concert. They’ll perform “Cat’s in the Cradle,” which marks its 50th anniversary this year; also on the “Verities & Balderdash” album. Then, as always, in the true spirit of Harry Chapin, Gathering Time is joined by the entire group for their annual rendition of “Circle,” Chapin’s traditional closing.

More than just a concert, the free event, of course, involves a food drive. Concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable items to support Long Island Cares, the regional food bank and humanitarian organization Chapin founded n 1980.

Bring seating to the concert, held rain or shine. It will also be livestreamed on Facebook and the Harry Chapin Foundation YouTube channel.

Nassau County Museum of Art ‘s latest exhibition “Seeing Red: Renoir to Warhol,” reveals the many meanings, connotations, and associations of this powerful color in art. Evoking strong emotion, red can represent the human condition. Its myriad variations have come to signify authority as well as love, energy and beauty. Red warns us of peril and commands us to stop, but it can also indicate purity and good fortune. Red boldly represents political movements and religious identities. From the advent of our appreciation for this color in antiquity to its continued prominence in artistic and popular culture, this exhibition will span various world cultures through a range of media. It features more than 70 artists, both established and emerging, ranging from the classical to the contemporary. American portraitists such as Gilbert Stuart imbued red in their stately paintings of prominent individuals to conjure authority.

Robert Motherwell, Ad Reinhardt, and other major abstract painters displayed a deep fascination with red in their commanding compositions that evoke a sense of chromatic power. And, of course, Andy Warhol is known for his bold and imposing silkscreened portrait of Vladimir Lenin saturated in bright red to his signature Campbell’s Soup Cans. It opens July 20 and is on view through Jan. 5. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

Elvin Reyes has won the George Farber Outstanding Student Award for his quality of character and his contributions to his classroom environment at Nassau Boces’ Rosemary Kennedy School.

West Hempstead’s Elvin Reyes wins Boces award Elvin Reyes, of West Hempstead, has earned the prestigious George Farber Outstanding Student Award this year.

The award celebrates attributes like passion, perseverance, enthusiasm, outstanding character, scholarship and a willingness to help others — all qualities that Reyes has, school officials said.

He was honored for the achievement by administrators and members of the Nassau Boces Board during a special awards ceremony this spring.

Reyes, who attends Nassau Boces’ Ro s e m a r y Ke n n e dy S ch o o l , i s a resourceful, determined student with a powerful drive to succeed. Educators who know him say he has demonstrated marked progress in life skills, such as housekeeping, always completing his assigned tasks with enthusiasm and care. He already has career plans for after graduation from Rosemary Kennedy School — he and his parents have begun working with New York State Adult Career and Continuing Education Services to successfully advance him into the workplace.

“Elvin is an exceptional young man who is admired by his peers and teach-

ers alike for his drive, determination and positive attitude,” wrote his award nominator. “Other students look up to him because he is kind and considerate, and can always be counted on to do the right thing. Elvin has grown so much during his time at Rosemary Kennedy, both as a student and as an individual.”

Reyes is a vocational leader at RKS. On the jobsite, at a local restaurant, he has mastered all the stations in the prep kitchen, where he routinely trains other workers. In the classroom, he is exceptionally adept at using educational technology, regularly posting photos and sharing notes on his classroom’s Microsoft Teams collaborative work space. Outside of the classroom, Elvin has helped with a number of service projects, Including fundraisers for charity and food drives for the less fortunate.

For the past 16 years, outstanding students have been earning this award in memory of former Nassau Boces Board President George Farber. Farber was the longest-serving board member in Nassau County, having served from 1971 to 2009.

HERALD

A. I can shed some light on this, literally, by confirming that your siding, is indeed, melting, but for a reason you didn’t mention: the sun. In the past, when there were mysteries like this, they created fear of the unknown, and your may have thought your home was possessed, but as long as the mortgage is paid, the house isn’t possessed, onte eeper and it won’t be repossessed. I’ve only seen this problem three times over the 50 years I’ve been in the field, and each one was solvable, but with some rethinking and extra expenditure.

If you were to check to see the orientation of the house and monitor where the sun reflects in either the early morning or late afternoon — and I have seen both phenomena — you’d notice that the sun is especially intense at certain angles. In each case I’ve traced, the sun hit an upper window and reflected with great intensity — like holding a magnifying glass over an innocent bug — off a neighbor’s window and back onto the siding of the first house. This “house of mirrors” phenomenon was intense enough to melt the vinyl siding, which simply wasn’t able to resist the heat.

In one case, the solution was to add a trellis to the side of the house to shield it from the sunlight.

This can be done with a freestanding trellis instead of puncturing the siding and causing potential leaks with invasive hardware. Ironically, in that case you could be solving one problem while creating another.

You could also add tall shrubs or short trees between the houses if you have the room. The most expensive way is to side the area with a different, more durable, siding material such as cement board, which looks like vinyl siding, brick or stone.

As we experience more intense sunlight due to climate change, I anticipate seeing more of this problem, but it’s still rare, because the windows have to align just right, and it usually happens when the sun is oriented to the Earth just right, possibly only twice a year. Good luck!

Q. We have a siding problem that nobody, so far, seems able to solve. We added a second floor three years ago, and redid all our siding. The siding representative came after the siding people couldn’t figure out why our siding began to distort and hang, almost as if it had melted. We don’t keep our barbecue near the house because we learned the hard way, after the siding melted, when the barbecue was too close. This is different, and nobody has any idea why our siding is sagging. The representative took pictures but hasn’t gotten back to us. Have you ever heard of this, and is there anything we can do to stop it? We did replace two sections, but after a year it began happening again. We even checked to see if maybe an appliance was overheating indoors, but there’s nothing nearby that could have caused this. Any ideas?

opInIons

am writing this with the strong encouragement of my wife, Rosemary, who just underwent emergency surgery to remove her gallbladder. She believes it is important to express gratitude to the medical profession, and stress the benefits of early medical attention and detection.

Three Sundays ago, early in the morning, Rosemary began feeling mild but persistent stomach pain and discomfort, which continued into midafternoon. She wasn’t concerned, pETER but she contacted KInG our family physician, Dr. Eric Barth, in Wantagh, to see if he could prescribe something to address her discomfort. Even on a Sunday afternoon, Barth got back to her within minutes.

As she answered his questions, he told her this could well be a serious gallbladder issue, and that she should quickly go to an emergency room for an MRI and blood tests. (Interestingly, it was Barth’s brother, Dr. Michael Barth, a

I

gastroenterologist, who discovered a cancerous tumor in my stomach wall during a routine endoscopy last year.)

Still not overly concerned and having only mild pain, Rosemary calmly got dressed and sat down in the front seat of our car, which I was driving, joined by our 20-yearold grandson, Jack, who took the back seat. Barely five minutes into the drive to the North Shore University Hospital emergency room, we suddenly realized how accurate Barth’s diagnosis had been. Rosemary was struck with severe abdominal pains, causing her to scream and kick like she never had before, including during labor. At almost the same time, it started raining, and there was an accident on the LIE, which made Waze divert us off the expressway as I tried to maneuver through the rain and reassure Rosemary while Jack navigated from the back seat.

When we arrived at North Shore, the doctors and nurses worked calmly but feverishly to relieve the pain and determine the course of treatment. Melissa Zimmerman, a retired police detective who was on my security detail when I was in Congress and has become a close

M

family friend, joined us in the emergency room and stayed with us at the ICU, where Rosemary was taken next and excellently cared for.

She was operated on late Tuesday afternoon by an outstanding surgeon, Dr. Geraldo Tamayo Enriquez, who had initially hoped to remove her gallbladder in a laparoscopic procedure rather than by opening her up. Several hours later, though, Enriquez was in the waiting room, explaining to my sister Barbara and me how complicated, difficult and extensive the surgery was and how it could not have been done laparoscopically. (Barbara is a retired nurse who is always there and invaluable to our family in stressful health care situations.)

The next few days were rough for Rosemary, but she received excellent care and is on her way to full recovery. I cannot begin to thank Barth for his initial diagnosis and the doctors, assistants, nurses and support staff at North Shore for all they did for Rosemary from the moment we arrived at the emergency room to the day of her discharge. She was truly fortunate.

Now that the crisis has passed, she

y wife initially wasn’t concerned about her mild but persistent stomach pain.

and I have the chance to appreciate what a teaching experience the surgery has been. There is no substitute for staying in contact with a trusted family physician and other doctors you deal with regularly and know you well. This was proven true this month with Rosemary and Dr. Barth, and last year with me, when his brother detected a stomach tumor when I had no symptoms whatsoever.

Just as important were the skilled medical professionals at North Shore, who began immediate emergency treatment and then conducted so many tests and procedures over the next several days, including the complicated surgery itself, to restore Rosemary to good health. I admit my bias as a consultant to Northwell Health, but I maintain that the American health care system and its hospitals do extraordinary work that could not have been imagined even several years ago. (I say this as someone who grew up in the old Irish tradition of avoiding doctors.)

We should be grateful to the medical profession, and diligent and attentive to our individual health.

If you like horror stories, read Project 2025

don’t watch horror movies, and even if my friends recommend them to me, I take a pass. I try to avoid anything else that is gory, including news photos and some Facebook posts. But one horror story that has captured my attention is a political document known as Project 2025.

Project 2025 is a 922-page manifesto created by the Heritage Foundation. It has been described as a road map for any new Trump administration. It outlines, agency by agency, the federal programs and projects that JERRY should be elimiKREMER nated, and what the policies of a second Trump administration would be.

Over the past few weeks, officials in former President Donald Trump’s campaign have attempted to disavow any connection between themselves and this recipe for a government revolution, but those denials do not have any substance.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who was willing to say anything or do anything to be Trump’s running mate, called Project 2025 “a bunch of recommendations by

scholars and has no substance.”

The facts belie all of the protestations by the Trump team. The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank that had enormous influence on the first Trump administration. It recommended all three of the justices whom Trump appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Foundation Chair Kevin Roberts has bragged that 64 percent of the organization’s 2016 recommendations were adopted by the administration. Roberts has attracted national attention with his recent statement that “we are in the process of a second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

Project 2025 is the work of a team composed almost exclusively of former Trump appointees, including the former chief of staff of the Office of Personnel Management, Paul Dans. Many of its planks are identical to speeches made

by Trump on the campaign trail. They include instituting tariffs on all imported goods; setting up deportation camps for non-citizens and so-called Dreamers, even those married to American citizens; and deploying the military for local law enforcement.

n

There is much more to the Project 2025 blueprint. It recommends that upward of 50,000 federal civil service workers be reclassified so that they can become political appointees. It recommends that Medicare and Medicaid funding be reduced, and that the president take total control of the FBI, the Department of Justice, the Federal Trade Commission, the Department of Commerce and the Federal Communications Commission.

No agency would be spared the wrath of Project 2025. It suggests that the Department of Education be abolished and reconstituted as a way of “enhancing parental rights in education and reclaiming the funds from students whose college loans were forgiven.”

While it does not suggest that abortions be banned, it recommends that the abortion pill mifepristone be removed from the market. It urges that 100 current government workers have their names publicly posted so that citizens can comment on whether they will be loyal to the new administration. Parts of the document sound like they were written during World War II. To make sure that no function of gov-

o federal agency is spared from the Heritage Foundation’s governing plan.

ernment is overlooked, Project 2025 advises that all climate-change regulations favor fossil fuel production, and that Medicare be banned from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies to lower drug costs. To make Medicare less costly, it calls for a new health insurance tax, and concludes by recommending that “Christian Nationalist policies be incorporated into the administration’s mission.”

When questioned about Project 2025, Trump, who followed many of the Heritage Foundation’s previous government and court reform strategies, stated, “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they are saying.” That’s not much of a denial.

Trump campaign operatives can deny any connection to Project 2025, but the facts say otherwise. One of its loudest supporters has been Steve Bannon, a Trump confidant, who is currently in federal prison. “This is not empty rhetoric,” Bannon recently stated. “This will be the manifesto of the new administration. Take it seriously.”

The key to safe swimming? Paying attention.

L

ast week we offered tips on fire safety, and this week we’re focusing on another summer activity that is usually fun, but nevertheless requires responsible behavior in order to keep it safe as well. There were three backyard swimming pool deaths on Long Island in just 24 hours earlier this month, and another incident a few days later in which a 2-year-old fell into a pool and, fortunately, was rescued.

Swimming pools are supposed to be places of joy, not tragedy. They offer respite from the summer heat, host family gatherings and are a place for those of all ages to play and exercise — but they also present significant potential dangers, especially for younger children and inexperienced swimmers.

The recent drownings — like those we hear about every summer across the country — underscore the absolute necessity of an annual focus on swimming pool safety. A study released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month reported that over 4,500 people drowned in pools or other waterways each year from 2020 to 2022.

The allure of a swimming pool is undeniable, but it is essential to recognize its inherent risks. Drowning is one of the leading causes of accidental death in children, and it usually happens not amid a flurry of attentionattracting splashing and shouting, but unnoticed and all but silently. Unlike the dramatic portrayals seen on TV or in

movies, many real-life drownings are quick and quiet, making it all the more critical for adults to remain vigilant when their children are swimming.

Lapses in supervision for even mere seconds at a time simply aren’t unacceptable.

A responsible adult should always be within arm’s reach of young children who are in or near the water. Designating a “water watcher” can ensure that there is always someone focused on the pool, free from distractions like phones or animated conversation. This simple yet effective practice can be a lifesaver.

Equally important are physical barriers and safety devices. A pool should be surrounded by a fence that is at least four feet high, with self-closing and selflatching gates. This is the first line of defense against accidental drownings, particularly for toddlers, who are naturally curious and drawn to water. Pool covers and alarms can add extra layers of security, alerting homeowners to potential dangers before they escalate.

Swimming lessons are another crucial component of pool safety. Teaching children to swim when they’re young — most can become comfortable in deep water at age 6 or 7 — not only equips them with the skills they need to stay safe, but also instills a sense of respect for a pool’s potential dangers. Community centers, clubs and other organizations offer swimming lessons, and investing in them brings lifelong benefits.

In addition, educating pool users about risks and safety protocols is essential. Training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, for adults and older children can mean the difference between life and death in the critical moments before emergency responders arrive in an actual emergency. Anyone whose regular summer routine includes time at the pool should know how to respond when someone is pulled unconscious from the water. CPR courses hosted by schools, public pools, and the offices of the American Red Cross and many other organizations, should be a regular part of teens’ and adults’ summer preparation in every community.

The recent deaths on Long Island serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of neglecting pool safety. Each represents not just a statistic, but a family shattered by an avoidable tragedy — emphasis on avoidable. Public-awareness campaigns can play a vital role in the effort to eliminate those tragedies altogether, and those efforts should involve local governments, schools, community centers, service clubs, health clubs and police and fire departments.

Ultimately, the goal is to create an environment in which memories of joyfilled days in the pool will be the highlights of your children’s summer. Make sure they learn to swim — adding some incentive, perhaps, by taking a lesson or two yourself — and keep a close eye on them whenever they’re in the water.

To the Editor: I applaud any effort endorsed by local government to conserve water, but I find the recent Town of Hempstead rain barrel campaign a bit of a stretch and, after careful analysis, downright foolish, shortsighted and inherently a waste of time and money.

A plastic container with a 50-gallon capacity and an overflow outlet requires installation by skillfully cutting your roof downspout pipe to position it on a firm and level base. If you have the tools, time and expertise, go for it.

In the spring and fall, when we get plenty of rain, it will fill quickly, just in time to water your plants that somehow don’t need watering because of all the rain.

The surplus will simply overflow, with no benefit. In the hot, dry summer months, those 50 gallons will be used up in a few days with no replenishment in sight. Turn on the garden hose!

The math: The barrel costs you $65. For that price you can buy about 6,500 gallons of water from Liberty Water, or about 130 barrels full. And this water is available on demand when needed. My guess is that you’ll be lucky to end up collecting, storing and actually using about 10 full barrels per season.

And don’t forget to drain, move and reattach that section of drainpipe before winter, or you’ll end up with a 50-gallon ice block that may well crack your investment.

Are there better alternatives? There

most certainly are. It’s called a welland-pump system, connected to your lawn sprinkler — and most of us have one of those, right?

The math: A well/pump system will pay for itself in about three years, from

o

n June 25, my classmates and i became the latest class of graduates from the Nassau County police Department Foundation’s Civilian police academy — a program i encourage all Nassau residents to enroll in. although i have been involved with many aspects of the criminal justice system during my legal career as a Queens County assistant district attorney and as a private practitioner, the academy was an eye-opening and enlightening experience that i believe would give any Nassau resident vital insights into the daily activities of our setH i. law enforcement professionals. kosLow starting on March 7 and continuing every thursday evening from 7 to 10 p.m., we delved into key aspects of criminal procedure and penal law as well as the department’s policies governing the use of force. Guest speakers from various units presented to our class of civilian students, giving us first-hand insights into the operations of the Detectives squad, the Bomb squad, the K-9, horseback mounted and aviation units and more; demonstrations included the

landing and takeoff of a police helicopter and a simulated high-speed chase in a Nassau police car. the Civilian police academy was a pared-down version of the extensive training that our Nassau County police Department professionals receive. it gives participants insights into the decisions officers make and what they go through on a daily basis. this experience further elevated my tremendous respect for our law enforcement professionals and appreciation for the department’s commitment to training and professionalism.

Moreover, my experience in the Civilian police academy, as a county legislator, provided me with a unique perspective that i can apply to critical law enforcement and public safety policy decisions. it was a tremendous experience, personally and professionally.

Earlier this spring, the administration of County Executive Bruce Blakeman solicited applications for “provisional sheriffs.” as a predicate to applying, each of these citizens required a valid pistol permit. provisional sheriffs could be mobilized to guard public spaces, utilities and infrastructure during vaguely defined “states of emergency.”

From its inception, i believed that the

t

he county’s proposal to mobilize ‘provisional sheriffs’ was reckless.

Letters savings of metered water use. ironically, a shallow well also actually recycles rainwater, storing it in a trillion-gallon natural aquifer rather than a 50-gallon molded plastic barrel.

You decide.

GarY CaparELLi Lawrence

Minimizing the risk of shark interactions to the Editor: the New York state Department of Environmental Conservation is promoting public safety at ocean beaches by educating the public to help minimize the risk of negative interactions between people and sharks. the annual summer migration of sharks into New York’s coastal waters is underway, and sightings of shark activity in the nearshore ocean waters are expected to increase during the summer months through september.

DEC encourages New Yorkers to be aware of their surroundings in the water with the potential for shark-human interactions, and to follow DEC guidelines to minimize the risk of negative interactions.

■ avoid areas with seals.

Blakeman administration’s proposal was reckless, misguided and unlawful. as i completed the Civilian academy, i grew even more steadfast that the provisional special deputy sheriff program — also known as the “militia” — is a recipe for disaster. i respect the fact that several of the participants in Blakeman’s program may be retired law enforcement professionals and members of our armed forces, and i thank them for their prior service. Nevertheless, the 30-day training crash course that these civilians received is woefully insufficient to get anyone prepared to act in any law enforcement capacity. it becomes more troublesome when you consider that NCpD officers receive seven months of intense basic training before being permitted to function as police officers.

By comparison, my classmates in the Civilian police academy and i completed 14 weeks of instruction by the NCpD. Logically, wouldn’t we be better trained than other civilians who received only 30 days of training? For some reason the Blakeman administration believes that provisional sheriffs need a mere 30 days of vaguely defined training before being activated in potentially chaotic, emergency situations.

■ avoid areas with schools of fish, splashing fish, or diving seabirds.

i have always believed that only police officers should be doing police work. if what i learned in a 14-week police course does not qualify me to act in a law enforcement professional’s capacity, why should these provisional sheriffs be given authority to insert themselves, and their firearms, into emergency situations? these are situations in which residents are already stressed, confused and seeking clarity.

Nassau County doesn’t need this.

Nassau County doesn’t want this. We have more than 2,600 well-trained officers already at the ready, not to mention state, village and city police departments that can provide mutual aid. We also have the National Guard, FEMa and other agencies that are far better equipped to assist than a handful of provisional special deputy sheriffs. there is plenty to do in Nassau — we should be devoting our attention to addressing real issues like fixing our broken assessment system, investing in our aging infrastructure, getting lifesaving opioid settlement funds onto the front lines of the addiction crisis, and saving Nassau University Medical Center and Nassau Community College. this “militia” is yet another example of wasted time, resources and energy by the Blakeman administration, which focuses on finding solutions to problems that don’t exist.

Now this is what summer’s all about — Eisenhower Park, East Meadow
