Farmingdale HS grad wins seat on the school district’s board of trustees; other local results

By Carolyn James Gavin Rogers

got down to the polls in Farmingdale at 4:30 a.m. on election day, May 21. He wanted to get a good parking spot so he could hand out his palm cards and speak to voters, he said.

That was that kind of personal approach he took during his campaign as he knocked on more than 200 doors asking people to consider him in his run for a seat on the Farmingdale School Board.

The effort paid off.

Rogers, a 21-year-old graduate of Farmingdale High School, was one of four candidates who ran for three seats on the board. And he got the highest number of votes: 1,510.

Voters also reelected Anthony Giordano and Kathy Lively, who got 1,506 votes and 1,450 votes respectively. Challenger Sheree Jones got 1,192 votes.

“I went to the polls early to get a good parking sport and to meet voters,” said Rogers who added that while he was happy to win, he was prepared for a loss. “It’s not easy

to win your first campaign,” he said. “But I had a lot of support and spoke to a lot of people, reaching out and providing the personal touch and believe that made the difference.”

In addition, Farmingdale voters approved their school budget, 1,532 to 922, as well as a capital project, 1,749 to 709. The Farmingdale Youth Council budget also passed, 1,726 to 727.

For many Farmingdale voters at the polls last week, other issues were on their mind.

“I live here and taught here and we have a son and grandchildren in the district,” said one woman who asked that her name not be used.

Her husband noted that one of the candidates, Rogers, was 21. “Good for him in running,” he said. “But I would say come back in 10 years and we can talk.”

“This has been a tough year for the Farmingdale community,” said another voter, referring to the Daler marching band bus accident that killed the band director and

Amityville residents okay school budget; Canestro, Fanning and Messman elected to Board of Trustees

By Carolyn James

In a decisive move, voters in Amityville ousted two longtime school board members, Jeannette Santos and Juan Leon, and elected first-time candidates Wendy Canestro, Megan Messman and Caroline Fanning. Messman won Santos’ seat, Fanning won Leon’s seat and Canestro won the open seat of Dr. Terry Fulton.

The trio had been vocal critics of the board as it wrestled to overcome a 3.6 million budget deficit from the 2022-23 school year and, was forced to reduce programs, extra-curricular activities, teachers and staff address a proposed deficit this year of more than $4 million.

“We are really excited to work hard, effect positive change for students, staff and

taxpayers,” said Canestro moments after the results were announced. “We are looking forward to work with fellow board members to restore the Amityville School District…to bring back public confidence; great things are on the horizon.”

As the numbers were announced close to 1 a.m., Wed., May 22, gasps and shouts could be heard from the approximately 75 people who maintained vigilance at Northeast School where the votes were tallied

Caroline Fanning, Wendy Canestro and Megan Messman are all smiles as they learned they had been elected to the Amtyville School Board.

Book Review:

“How

Subtitled “The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen,” author Brooks explores the art of human connection. To connect with others, to make them feel seen, heard and understood, and to be understood ourselves, is a learnable skill.

Of a pastor friend named Jimmy he says, “when Jimmy sees a person, any person…he also sees a soul of infinite value and dignity… as a result, Jimmy is going to greet people with respect and reverence…if you see people as precious souls, you’ll probably wind up treating them well”.

Exploring the concept of “accompaniment” your interactions with others should be marked by willingness, not willfulness, allowing the other person to be perfectly themselves. There is a realization that everyone is in their own spot, on their own pilgrimage and your job is to meet them where they are, helping them chart their course. “Sometimes we need to hitch a ride on someone else’s journey, and accompany them, part of the way”.

Citing Aldous Huxley, Brooks observes “Experience is not what happens to you, it is what you do with what happens to you.” Or, as the writer Anais Nin put it, “We do not see things as they are, we see things as we are.” In trying to understand others, it is helpful to ask “how are they perceiving the situation? How are they experiencing this moment and constituting their reality.” People who are lonely, who feel unseen, become bitter and mean. Hostility and callousness are rising along with our social isolation. Surveys show to 60 – 70 percent of people put themselves on the negative emotion side of the meter –empathy and compassion are needed when many people you meet are suffering within.

“Human beings, John Stuart Mill writes, are under a moral obligation to seek the improvement of our moral character.” Will we be generous and considerate or judgmental and cruel? To become a social, humble, understanding and warm person, David Brooks’ new book illuminates the way.

Amityville residents okay school budget; Canestro, Fanning and Messman elected School Board Trustees

lowing the closing of the polls at 9 p.m., Tues., May 21.

Voters also approved the school budget of $117.7 million, a 4.41 percent increase by a vote of 1051 to 698. The budget was within the New York State Tax Cap.

“As I have always said, my priority is the students,” said Santos upon learning that her 30-plus year tenure as a school board trustee had come to a close. “I am happy that the budget passed.”

Leon thanked the community for the support he receoved over the past nine years.

”We did some amazing things and I am certain there is still more to come. The real gift has been having a front-row seat to watch our children learn and grow.”

In addition, voters approved Proposition #2, which called for the district to hold at-large elections. Currently candidates for school board in Amityville run for seat against specific candidates. In an at-large race, all candidates run against each other with those receiving the highest number of votes winning seats on the board. The change goes into effect next year.

At the polls at Northeast and Amityville High School earlier in the day, traffic was slow but steady. Some voters stopped to express their thoughts and concerns.

One voter who said she voted for the budget said: “The budget is important to me because my family has been here for years and I don’t want to see the district to shut down,” said Julia E. Lindo. “Kids need a good education.”

Another voter, Danielle McCalvin, said that she attended many board meetings and told the board they had to be more transparent and open. “I want to make sure our voices are heard,” she said as she waited to vote at Northeast. “We want more transparency.” She added that as the budget vote

and trustee election drew close, she saw that the board did make some efforts at being more open. “These are our children and we want to know where our money is going and how things work. My message to them was that we would trust them more if they were transparent.

Apryl Smith, a graduate of Amityville Schools said she was out to vote to help ensure that the children in the district, “get everything they need to have a great education.

“We have to turn things around,” she said.

At Amityville High School the district’s second polling location, the concerns were similar.

“I have friends and family members who are in the district as teachers,” said one voter who asked that her name not be used. “I am here to support them.”

Justin and Jennifer Kennedy were at the polls with their three children and said they were concerned about the fis-

cal problems and the loss of staff.

“It is a crisis and it is important to get people in there (on the board) who are qualified,” said Justin Kennedy. “It is time for new people because as a young family in Amityville the prospect of having to pay for school taxes, library taxes, village taxes that increase every year is difficult, said Jennifer Kennedy. “My husband’s family has been here for five generations and we want to keep our home here.”

Since Fulton’s seat was open, Canestro was sworn in election night. The other two candidates will be sworn in at the district’s organizational meeting in July.

music volunteer last fall. “So, I think the community is coming out to support the budget.”

Giordano, who was also at the polls greeting voters, had this to say: “Listen, we are here for the kids and taxpayers. That is always our focus.”

In Plainedge, candidates running for the school board kicked it up a notch. Both camps—the Joseph Netto and Lynnda Nadien ticket and the Michael Morrissey and Joseph Garcia ticket—put out tables and free-standing outdoor awnings in the parking lot of the Plainedge High School gymnasium where voting was taking place May 21. They greeted voters and handed out literature asking voters for their support.

“We want to be the voices for the parents,” said Garcia. “Many parents have felt that they have not been heard (by the board and the administration). “We want to change that.”

“Plainedge has not faced some of the (financial) challenges that other districts have faced,” said Michael Morrisey. “That is a positive, but we (he and Garcia) believe we can do even better and as two residents who are heavily involved in the community, we can really be a voice for parents throughout the district.”

Speaking from behind her campaign table, Nadien said that some of the information being spread throughout the community “are just words.

“We (the current board), have worked to put things into action and make things happen,” she said. “This board has voted to give (tax) discounts to seniors and firefighters, we have made more room for pre-k and have always put kids first.”

For many voters, though, it was money and taxes that were on their minds.

“I have a home here and pay taxes, so it is important for me to have a voice,” said one resident who asked that her name not be use. “I read the budget and while I agree with some of it, some of it seemed excessive. I want to do what is good for our community, no one wants their taxes raised, but…”

An older couple, who has lived in Plainedge 40 years, said tax increases impact on senior citizens dramatically and offered this: “The budget is high and we spend a lot on salaries and pensions,” said the husband. “There are just too many school districts and superintendents on Long and we have to have more consolidation so we can reduce costs.”

Other results:

•Voters approved the Plainedge library budget of $2.85 million and reelected Michael Giris to the library board; •Massapequa residents approved their $235.6 million budget by a. vote of 1,992 to 835. They also voted for an expanded transportation eligibility proposal, 2,251 to 554 and

reelected incumbent school board trustees Kerry Wachter and Jeanine Caramore with 2,008 and 1,995 votes respectively.

Also approved was the district’s library budget and reelected library board trustees Michael Meilak and Douglas Donlon. They had no opposition.

Voters speak loud and clear in local school board elections

In a resounding display of civic engagement, voters turned out in large numbers to select their school board trustees, consider passage of school budgets and propositions permitting districts to set aside money for capital improvements. In Amityville, a proposition passed that asked voters if they wanted the district to move to at-large elections.

Perhaps it was because of the arduous difficulties district's faced this year in putting together reasonable budgets that voters could support or because they wanted to see definitive change on their school boards that they were so decisive in 2024. In Amityville and in Plainedge, for example, two longtime incumbents were defeated and new faces will now be charged with moving the district forward. In another district in our readership area, West Babylon, voters defeated their

budget, which pierced the New York State Tax Cap. Now the board must make a reassessment of its fiscal priorities and decide whether to bring the same budget up for a second vote, one that meets the state's cap on spending or simply move forward under a contingency spending plan. It is clear in many of the outcomes that there was a palpable desire for change in leadership and governance, which motivated many to exercise their democratic right at the polls. But whatever the reasons, the result was that your vote counted and made a difference. Or to quote pop star and entertainer Taylor Swift: "It's not enough to just want change...You have to go an make change by voting."

This year, in large numbers, voters did that.

Mastering Positivity: How to Keep Annoyances from Spoiling Your Attitude

By Bryan Golden Circumstances

can be annoying. Your car won't start. You wind up on the slowest checkout line at the supermarket. You can't find something. There are no open parking spaces at the mall. The list goes on.

The actions of others can also be annoying. Someone is rude. A car cuts you off. A waiter gives you poor service. People are talking during a movie. Your boss is in a bad mood.

The list of irritations can be endless. And, they have an uncanny tendency to pop up at the worst of times.

Your frame of mind at the time of an annoyance determines your reac -

tion, or whether you react at all. Challenging situations have a cumulative effect. They can wear you down, magnifying the impact of successive events. As a result, you may overreact and these minor events can get blown out of proportion, transforming into major situations. When you allow your emotions to go haywire, you will say or do things you may, at the very least, regret.

On the other hand, when you are in good spirits, annoyances don't seem to matter much, if at all. With an upbeat attitude, you just shrug things off. Also, you tend to find so -

lutions more readily than when you are stressed.

What techniques can you use to keep life's annoyances from becoming major calamities? Start by keeping things in perspective. You know when a situation is an annoyance rather than a major event. Stay calm. Say to yourself, "this is no big deal." Let it go. Don't allow your ego to take over.

You do not have to prove anything. It's not necessary to teach someone a lesson. When you look to assign blame, you make a situation worse. Don't be paranoid. A "why does

this always happen to me" attitude won't accomplish anything. Everyone deals with annoyances. You've gotten past them before and you will do so again.

In the big, and little, scheme of things annoyances will always be a part of your life. Look to make the best of a situation. Laugh more. The more you let the small stuff go, the happier you will be.

Woman’s Club of Massapequa’s 100th Anniversary

DID YOU KNOW?

In the 1930s, 40s and 50s the Woman’s Club of Massapequa through its Drama Department produced one-act plays for the members and guests. The members acted in and often produced and directed the plays.

The first venture into theatre arts was in April, 1935 with a comedy, “Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh,” directed by Edwin R. Lynde, whose wife was in the Club.
