Melissa Miller to succeed Blakeman jbessen@liherald.com
State Assemblywoman Melissa “Missy” Miller (R-Atlantic Beach) is expected to be appointed to the Town of Hempstead board as the representative for the Third Councilmanic District succeeding Bruce Blakeman who will became the Nassau County executive on Jan. 1. “It has been an honor for me to be able to serve in the New York State Assembly to help the people in my district and all around the State,” Miller posted on Facebook On Feb. 9. After much soul searching, I have decided to resign from my seat as of this Coming Tuesday.” Miller, a lifelong Atlantic Beach resident, has served the 20th Assembly District for the past five years in that time has shown that she can work across the aisle and has become an effective elected officials by co-sponsoring bills in Albany with Democrats and advocating for the disabled community, an issue that hits home as she is the parent of a special needs child, her son Oliver. “It is no secret that the reason I ran for the Assembly was because of my experiences as a parent of children with special needs,” Miller posted. “I wanted to make a difference and represent the most vulnerable people in our society, people who desperately need a voice in government.” She was also at the forefront of advocating for the legalization of medicinal marijuana as Oliver suffers from hundreds of daily seizures due to having suffered a pre-birth stroke. The medically prescribed oil form of marijuana with a low concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC — the compound that gives users a high — could substantially reduce the frequency and severity of the seizures. “COVID has not been easy for anyone, especially those with special needs, many who could not get much of the care that is so vital to their well being, and Oliver was no exception,” Miller wrote on Facebook. “He has regressed and is very frail. I can no longer in good conscience bring

has been on the board since his appointment in 2015. The Valley Stream native who lives in Atlantic Beach began his political career on the town board in 1993 was elected to the County Legislature and went on to serve as the presiding officer from 1996 to 1999. Blakeman has also served as a commissioner for Port Authority of New York and New Jersey from 2001 to 2009. He had lost a series of elections before winning election and re-election to the town board, and defeating Nassau County Executive Laura Curran this November. “Missy Miller has been a champion for our community in the state assembly, and will continue her great work as a member of the Hempstead town board,” Blakeman said in a statement. “I look forward to working closely with her and the rest of the town board to best serve our shared constituents. Missy has the compassion, Intellect, energy, and drive to make a positive impact on all the residents in the third district.” The Third Councilmanic District consists of Atlantic Beach, East Atlantic Beach, Inwood, Lawrence, Meadowmere Park, North Valley Steam, South Valley Stream, and a portion of Cedarhurst, Elmont, Franklin Square, Malverne, Valley Stream, West Hempstead and Woodmere. With Miller moving to the Hempstead board, a special election must be held to fill the vacant seat as the vacancy happened before April 1. The elected person fills the unexpired term and then can run in the general election for the full two-year term. The 20th A.D. encompasses Atlantic Beach, Cedarhurst, Hewlett, Inwood, Lawrence, Woodmere, Long Beach, Lido Beach, East Rockaway, Island Park, Oceanside and parts of Valley Stream. Inwood resident Sasha Young, who runs Gammy’s Pantry in the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence, posted on Facebook. “She is and will continue to be amazing!! We are honored for Missy Miller to represent us in any capacity and have complete faith that she will do awesome things for our communities!”
Hewlett resident wins pothole hunting contest By lisA MArGAriA lmargaria@liherald.com
Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association President David Friedman and SoBol of Hewlett co-owner Amy Golan teamed up to start a District 14 pothole contest, where Cristina Lahey, Hewlett resident, submitted the most photos of local potholes and won a $20 SoBol gift card. After the Jan. 28 to 29 weekend nor’easter, “the snowplows popped a lot of asphalt up,” Friedman said, “and that’s what has caused all of these potholes. We thought we’d make a fun contest with SoBol.” To publicize the contest, Golan posted on SoBol’s Instagram and Facebook page: “Find some holes – win some bowls.” She and her husband, Russ, coown the store on Broadway. Friedman is working closely with Nassau County Administrative Assistant and Woodmere resident Ann DeMichael to fill the potholes, using contest submissions as pothole locators. Nassau County Pothole Patrol began filling potholes on Feb. 8 – a day before the contest winner was chosen – Friedman said.
He has also been in touch with the Town of Hempstead regarding pothole filling on town roads. Many people are not sure if the road they live on is a town, village or county road, Friedman said. To call the appropriate agency for road concerns, “People need to look at the online map on the Nassau County website,” he said. Sobol opened in Dec. 2021 and is fairly new to the Five Towns, yet the business is “ very much about improving the community,” Golan said, “and so I think improving the pothole situation is a great step forward. That’s why we were happy to donate a $20 gift card.” Lahey received her $20 SoBol gift card on Feb. 10 after sending in 23 pothole photos, which DeMichael sent to Nassau County and the Town of Hempstead along with the rest of the contest submissions. Lahey found the potholes by driving around town, she said: “I didn’t expect to win, but entering is always fun!” I’m a big advocate of supporting local businesses and helping to get our roadways fixed in our town, it’s a win-win!” Thank you SoBol and Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association for the contest.”

Inwood Fire District’s $4.8 million bond passes By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
The Inwood Fire District’s $.4.8 million bond for a proposed 2,900-square-foot expansion of the existing firehouse and a new 100-foot bucket ladder truck to replace the current 75-foot ladder truck passed 41 to 3 on Feb. 8. Both bonds will be financed over 17 years. Fire district officials presented information at a meeting on Jan. 27 on what will now be the third renovation of a firehouse that was built in 1927. Previous work was done in 1951 on the Doughty Boulevard side of the building. In 1995, a Wanser Avenue addition was constructed and an elevator was added, along with minor American with Disabilities Actcompliant changes. District officials and Melville-based architect Frank Relf detailed seven primary reasons for the $2.8 million firehouse expansion. New ADA-compliant restrooms on the building’s first floor will be built, making them readily accessible to firefighters and visitors. ADA-compliant shower stalls will also be installed. More space is needed in what is called the apparatus room for the first-response ladder truck and the department’s larger vehicles. The current fleet includes two ambulances, two engines, two ladder trucks, a rescue boat and a five-ton Army truck housed in the annex building. Additional space is also needed for fire-

WITH THE NEARlY $5 million bond approved, the Inwood Fire District can move ahead with the addition and renovations to the firehouse. fighters’ gear and equipment, which, according to fire district officials, would also create safer conditions for firefighters, with more room between the vehicles and the equipment. “The addition will give us the ability to accommodate the size changes with the vehicles,” said Relf, who has designed plans for at least 300 firehouses from Massachusetts to Florida. A reconfiguration of the metal handicapped-accessible ramp on the side of the firehouse, the elimination of the outdated fuel-dispensing system and underground storage tanks, and construction of a corridor connecting the firehouse with the annex are also part of the expansion plans.

Varriello told the Herald that along with the space problem, the larger truck is needed because at least two buildings are expected to be constructed in Inwood that will be five stories high, and there will likely be more construction with the anticipated transit-oriented residential and mixed-use developments in Inwood and North Lawrence.

NASSAU HERALD — February 17, 2022
The second annual Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School Invitational girls’ varsity basketball tournament was a huge success. Six teams joined together from Feb. 3 to 6 for basketball and bonding, giving the teams an opportunity to get to know each other both on and off the court. This year’s tournament was a welcome addition to the regular basketball season, especially considering that last year’s competition was canceled due to the Covid pandemic. The tournament included five local teams – HAFTR, Hebrew Academy of Nassau County, North Shore Hebrew Academy, Ramaz, Yeshivah of Flatbush – and Berman Hebrew Academy from Maryland. The tournament kicked off on Feb. 3, at the Barclays Center with a game between HAFTR and Yeshivah of Flatbush. Fans from both teams made their way to Brooklyn to see their team play on the home court of the Brooklyn Nets. While HAFTR came out on top 58-23, it was definitely a night that both teams will always remember. When game commentator Amanda Ehrenhaus asked, “How does it feel as a senior to be able to play at Barclays Center?” Shirly Gottlieb responded, “It’s amazing, because I get to leave this place having had a wonderful opportunity.” Games continued the next day with HAFTR and Berman Hebrew Academy leading the tournament in first and second place. As Shabbat approached, the games were put on hold as players pre-
pared for a beautiful Shabbat together. The girls enjoyed the hospitality of local hosts for Friday night dinner, and had an amazing Shabbat lunch hosted by HAFTR. After lunch, the girls heard encouraging words from coach Joey Hoenig, as well as Divrei Torah given by representatives from each team. Coach Ilona Diamond inspired the players with lessons of perseverance and friendship, after which the girls segued into an icebreaker activity. They spent the day getting to know each other, and soon realized they had a lot more in common than just basketball. Games continued Saturday night and Sunday morning. Flatbush beat Ramaz in a close 38-34 game, taking third and fourth place, respectively. HAFTR played Berman Hebrew Academy for the championship title. The Hawks’ Nest was packed; it was filled with HAFTR fans, as well as many Berman Hebrew Academy fans who came all the way from Maryland to support their team. The Berman players were tough, but they could not outmatch HAFTR’s team, which remains undefeated in its regular season. HAFTR took the championship title with a 68-48 win against Berman Hebrew Academy. After the game, Diamond said, “I feel so fortunate to be a part of this moment for these girls. I’m so proud of them.” The tournament was a huge success, resulting in some amazing basketball and unbreakable new friendships.

Record showing by Hewlett High wrestlers tbellissimo@liherald.com
The best season in Hewlett High School wrestling history will continue Feb. 25-26 when three Bulldogs will be in action at the New York State tournament in Albany. Hewlett enjoyed a record-setting performance last weekend at the Nassau County Division 1 championships at Nassau Community College by placing 8 on the All-County podium (top six in each weight class), the most of any team, and finishing an all-time best third behind Wantagh and Massapequa. Senior Josh Gendlin led the way for the Bulldogs by capturing the 160-pound title, becoming the program’s sixth county champion. He’ll be joined upstate by county runners-up junior Ariel Waldman (126) and senior Jacob Maiorano (285.) “To say it was a great weekend would be an understatement,” Hewlett coach Stephen Jones said. Gendlin, described by Jones as the “heart and soul of the team,” put on a dominant performance throughout the weekend and emerged with a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Joseph Mattaei in the finals Sunday afternoon. Waldman’s road to the finals included a table-turning win over Long Beach’s Michael Berube a week earlier in the qualifier. In the quarterfinals on Saturday, Waldman took an 8-6 decision. He then

Maiorano was the No. 8 seed and
pulled some eye-raising upsets on the way to the finals, where he was pinned in the third period by Westbury’s Romeo Turcios. Maiorano’s impressive road went through second-seeded Andres Valle of Lawrence in the second round (5-2 decision), No. 1 Jacob Menichini of Massapequa in the quarterfinals (3-2 decision),
and fifth-seeded Vincent Petzhold of Plainedge in the semifinals, 4-2. “It was a heck of a run by Jake in a tough draw,” Jones said of Maiorano. Sophomore Kirk Smith (fourth at 118), senior Jonathan Zenny (fourth at 152), seventh-grader Carlos Salazar (sixth at 102), sophomore Eric Gendlin (sixth at 110), and sophomore Oleg Daniloff (sixth at 172) also had strong performances that earned them the All-County tag. Smith went 5-2 on the county’s biggest stage and secured All-County honors with a pin of Massapequa’s Matt Reehil in the consolation bracket. Zenny overcame a 4-0 hole in the quarterfinals to pin John Wormian of Baldwin and secure All-County honors. After losing a tough semifinal, Zenny bounced back with an impressive 12-4 victory over Aaron Cho of Herricks and fell just short of qualifying for the state tournament. Still a few years away from walking the high school hallways, Salazar showed the “grit and toughness of an upperclassman,” Jones said. The coach added Salazar won one of the most exciting matches of the county tournament when he defeated Jake Strianese of Oceanside in an overtime thriller with a late takedown. Eric Gendlin defeated Rene Clemente of Farmingdale in the All-County round in convincing fashion, 8-1. Jones said the biggest surprise was clearly Daniloff, who peaked at the perfect time.

’ve always considered being a nurse a unique profession because of the desire to care, serve and help others. It has been fulfilling and motivating and a tremendous privilege to help others. As a nurse for 18 years, rarely has anything rattled me or made me question the profession that I love. One of the hardest and most
disappointing things about this pandemic was to hear the way nursing homes were being portrayed and the implication that so many were doing such a bad job. I knew we were doing the best we could with the information provided. I am very proud of our staff, who went above and beyond their call of duty.

The Hewlett girls’ basketball team notched a quality victory over Division Feb. 9 by the score of 71-54. While there are some elements the Bulldogs will need to improve upon to make a deep playoff run, head coach Anthony Scro definitely saw more good than bad in this particular matchup. “They did a nice job on the boards offensively which was pretty good and they settled in a little bit on the defensive end,” Scro said. “It wasn’t our best game and we have some things to work on but we’re looking forward to the playoffs.” Offensively, the team ran through star guard junior Riley Weiss, who had 52 of the team’s 71 points. Despite the immense defensive attention placed on her whenever she crossed half court, she still was able to score at will, including 11 three pointers made. This game also represented a significant milestone, as she scored her 2000th career point during the game. Despite the exorbitant scoring output from Weiss, securing the win truly was a team endeavor. Junior Emily Erdos assisted in expanding the defense past the perimeter, as she contributed two three pointers. Sophomores Marcie and Catie Iannico contributed hustle plays all night, as the twins made winning plays consistently. Senior Molly Williams played a similar game, and was solid on the boards. Sophomore Brianna Ruta did her job well as a complimentary scorer, as she also chipped in 7 points. Scro was elated with how fluid his team played and the overall depth his team demonstrated. “Molly Williams helped a lot with her toughness. Emily Erdos helped with her three point shots that were clutch throughout the game,” Scro said. “Obviously, Riley Weiss is obviously a beast in Nassau county. Marcie and Catie gave great minutes and Brianna was banged up going into this game but still did a great job.” What was maybe most impressive about the victory was the way in which the Bulldogs won, as they jumped to an early lead and never let up.

Speaking of which, Hewlett is firmly entrenched in the playoff picture in conference A3. The Bulldogs currently possess a 14-5 record overall and have a 9-3 record within the conference. The team certainly has the potential to make a deep run with the deep roster and having
Weiss as a go-to scoring option, but how deep the Bulldogs go will depend on how well they lock in on the small stuff. “We just have to work on some of the general mental stuff that’s part of the game,” Scro said. “I think that that’s a very big factor. We have a young team and given that we have a young team there are a lot of things that we have to improve upon. Luckily, we have a little bit of time to work on that.”

Options for summer fun and learning
It’s a go
W
Camp in the pandemic era
hile the summer camp industry took a hit in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Statista reported the 2021 season surpassed 2017’s market size and was close to the 2018 numbers. It seems summer camps are here to stay, despite the pandemic nearing its two-year mark in the U.S. For families eager for a return to normalcy, that’s good news. We have all settled in to the “new normal” — or the “next normal” as some are defining it now — with the understanding that Covid still plays a featured role in summer planning, but not the main focus. Summer 2022 will feel fresh, with camps being less restrictive and travel camps being able to offer more locations. Families can experience these programs with not only new excitement, but a fresh mindset. Consider these new trends: √ Zoom fairs where directors present their programs. √ Two-week career focused programs that offer students the chance to have hands on experiences in specific career areas. √ Two-week options at many traditional camps for firstyear campers. √ Many more options for those families more comfortable staying closer to home. √ Some summer programs will continue to offer online experiences for students. √ Most overnight camps and summer trips for middle and high school students will require campers and all staff to be fully vaccinated. Camp Makes A Comeback “Too much screen time over the past decade and its residual effects on young people have been exacerbated by the pandemic response of ‘educating by isolating,’ says Andy Pritikin, owner/director of Liberty Lake Day Camp and past president of the American Camp Association, NY/NJ. “After 15 months of semi-seclusion, missed social opportunities, and frayed friendships, young people were acting out: antisocial behaviors, fights, emotional breakdowns, defiance, anxiety, and depression. Summer camps, however, offered an oasis of sorts — a reset, an antidote, a social-emotional vaccine. Campers, staff, and even school teachers had a magical and energizing experience being outside, socializing, playing, and interacting again.” According to Pritkin, The past two summers affirmed unequivocally that there’s no better place for children and young adults to learn and regain their social and
emotional equilibrium than at summer camp. Here’s what he and what the camp industry has observed: Kids bounce back. Kids are resilient. They roll with the punches, learn from their mistakes, and when the bar is set high, with the right encouragement — they rise to the occasion. Kids naturally make friends. As thousands of new campers arrived at camps, camp staff were amazed to see how they were drawn towards one another; quickly building friendships, with their saved up love and empathy. Kids love being outdoors. Always have. But after being forced indoors for so long, kids cared less about the bugs, the dirt and mud, the liquid sunshine, and even the heat. And there’s more good news, according to Pritikin. “Parents who never went to camp, and never sent their children to camp before, have reassessed the summer camp cost/benefit analysis and are flooding American Camp Association accredited camps with registrations like never before. The pandemic has suddenly made summer camp as important as it should be. So if you’re interested in camp for your kids this summer, don’t delay — because many of the best camps out there have already started waiting lists.” Embrace Summer Camp But Ccarefully Still, choosing a summer camp is not always so easy, and can be especially tricky as we continue to manage the pandemic. Ask children if they want to go to camp. Everyone is experiencing some measure of pandemic-related burnout, and that includes kids. Kids may be sick of wearing masks at school all day and, even if they have loved camp in the past, may not be looking forward to wearing masks at camp this summer, if that is required. Others might may see camp as a way to fully return to "normal." Either way, solicit kids’ input and let them know their feelings matter regardless of which side of the fence they’re on. Be clear about safety protocols. When researching summer camps, make sure you and your child understand the safety protocols each camp will have in place. Will masks be mandatory for both campers and staff? How much direct interaction will campers have with each other? Have staff members been vaccinated? What measures are being taken to keep kids safe? Camps have detailed protocols and will share those protocols with parents upon request. Above photo: Selecting a summer camp can feel a lot like you're trying to pick a college for your child.
Millions of children attend summer camp each year. For most, it's a fun and rewarding experience full of challenges and excitement. In addition to physical and athletic activities, kids learn about independence, cooperation, competition and teamwork. They also learn that they can survive away from home. For many kids summer camp is also a time of significant emotional growth, development and transition. Parents often note that their children come home seeming older or more mature than before they left. Nurturing Human Value The camp community excels in providing an experiential education that results in self-respect and appreciation for human value. All of the outcomes — self-identity, self-worth, self-esteem, leadership, and self-respect — build personal competencies. Explore talents: Camps help young people explore their unique interests and talents. Under an organized, yet often easygoing, camp schedule, kids can dabble in sports, arts and crafts, leadership, community support, and so many other activities that may not be fully available to them elsewhere. Promote physical activity: Lots of camps build their itineraries around physical activities that takes place outdoors. Campers may spend their time swimming, running, hiking, playing sports, climbing, and so much more. Regular physical activity has many health benefits and can set a foundation for healthy habits as an adult. Gain confidence: Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in selfesteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence and decision-making skills. Try new things: Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that’s learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children. Make new friends: Camp is a
great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far. This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools. Finding The Best Fit Although most children are excited about going to summer camp, for some, it can be a scary or anxiety provoking experience. In general, parents should not push or force kids to go to camp if they feel frightened or uncomfortable. Choose a camp that is suited to your child's personality, temperament and interests. If your child likes music, art or horseback riding, it makes sense to pick a camp with strengths in that area. At the same time, there is nothing wrong with encouraging kids to try new things or to have a variety of experiences. In general, it is best not to force kids to do things at camp that they really dislike or simply cannot do. Repeated negative experiences can have a significant effect on a child's self-esteem. Involve your child in choosing the camp. Review brochures, videos and websites together. Ask for the names of other families you and your child can talk to about the camp. Don't push kids to go to a residential camp at too early an age. The "right" age will vary from child to child. Some kids are "ready" for "sleep away" camp at five or six, while others would not even consider the idea at 14 or 15. If a child doesn't seem ready for a full summer away, consider a camp that has one-month sessions. It may be an easier transition and a more positive experience. Help children keep in touch with friends from summer camp. Plan times for them to get together with kids who live nearby. For friends who live at a distance, letters, phone calls and e-mail can help them maintain contact during the school year.

Attention parents and students: De-stress for spring success
I
n years past, the onset of spring signaled to students the beginning of the end of the school year. Today, this season has increasingly become one of the most stressful times of the year due to the convergence of extracurricular activities, sports, end-of-year assessments, projects and, for high-school students, college admissions. Education experts encourage effective time management in order to better prepare for all of the activities and challenges that come along with the final months of the school year. Inside and outside of the classroom, there are many ways that students can manage their workload and create time for stress-reducing activities at home. Here are some recommended strategies to help your kids achieve academic success. Spring Cleaning Organization — both at home and at school — will save students time by eliminating the need to search for homework assignments, books and other items necessary for spring success. Create a "homework zone" that houses study tools and allows students to study without distraction. Organized kids do better in school than haphazard kids. Help them to set up their planners (written or electronic), to keep their notebooks and backpacks neat and orderly, to break up large assignments into smaller ones so they don't seem overwhelming, to maintain a work space at home that's actually workable and not a disaster area, and to stick to the goals you've
set together. Also establish or re-establish helpful routines. Give your kids the consistency of fairly regular routines (weekends and holidays can be breaks). Bedtime, wake-up, study, homework, play, family time — kids rely on these routines, and the structure helps them to feel safe, know what's expected of them and be successful. Spring Tune-up Stay informed about the end-of-school activities for which your child will be responsible. Encourage students to use planners to create timelines, or place a large calendar with deadlines and test dates in a visible area of the house. Help your child evaluate the subjects or areas that she finds most challenging. Assigning a priority to homework items according to their level of difficulty will save time by ensuring your child devotes the most energy to the areas that require extra focus and attention. Maintain Healthy Habits Healthy kids are better learners. Making sure your children are getting enough sleep, insist on their good eating habits and are involved in regular and aerobic exercise. Exercise is a great way to alleviate stress and stimulate the mind. Taking short exercise breaks between assignments can refresh a student's energy level and renew focus. Even Take A Break Compressing study time into one all-nighter may seem like a good way to save time, but the brain is less efficient without taking a break to
rest, and a student's memory can be affected. A better alternative is to ensure your child obtains the recommended amount of sleep by spreading study efforts out over a period of time. Recommit To Learning With your children, come up with one or two major goals that they want to accomplish for the remainder of this school year. Raising that algebra grade? Getting homework done on time and turning it in the next day? Organizing a study area at home? Using a planner regularly and
efficiently? Agree on some age-appropriate rewards and consequences. Commit to a family-centered goal that education is important to all of you, and work together to support, encourage and help each other.

munity he has been part of since he was in pre-kindergarten. “He’s sort of an out-of-the-box thinker — always has been,” Samuel’s mother, Ella Schwartz, said. “He never really conformed to what somebody told him was supposed to be done at his age.” Samuel remembers using a computer when he was a child, and loving it. “When I got older, I just wanted to find out how it worked,” he said, “so I started learning how to program, started building them and from there it just kind of skyrocketed, and my life became everything computer-related.” He remembers building and programming his first computer when he was 9 or 10. As an eighth-grader, Schwartz enrolled in Advanced Placement computer science. He quickly exhausted all the computer science classes he could take at LWA, so in his freshman year of high school, he decided to take classes at SUNY Farmingdale. “It just really challenged me, and helped me grow as a programmer and as a person,” he said, “and kind of let me tiptoe into what the college computer science life is like.” At Farmingdale, he took as many computer classes as a college sophomore. “We kind of said, all right maybe we’ll slow it down a little bit and you’ll find something else to do,” his mother said, “and then that’s when he had this idea: Well, why don’t I teach?” Because Samuel had attended LWA his entire life, he said, “I kind of wanted to give back to my community. I knew that I could teach it, and I knew that it would be fun for [students].” Last year he pitched his idea of teaching a middle school class to Headmaster Brian O’Connell, who liked the idea, but suggested that Schwartz teach ninth-graders instead. “He’s more advanced than the teacher in some cases …,” O’Connell
teaching, although he said, “I remember the night before the first time I taught I couldn’t sleep. I was so scared.” Teaching is a way to bolster his skills, his mother said. “I think that he found out pretty quickly that it required him to understand technology on a deeper, more intimate level than just consuming it in a classroom and taking tests,” she said. “Now he had to own it and deliver it to someone.” “I have a newfound respect for the teachers,” Schwartz said. “You can tell the teachers who put in the time and work, and I really appreciate all those teachers, because creating a syllabus and creating the class, just making it interesting — it’s hard.” In the class, students use design software to create their own models to print in three dimensions. “I think they really like it, because students actually relate best to students,” O’Connell said, adding that Schwartz is able to break the curriculum down in a way his peers can understand easily. Ella and husband, Jeffrey, are both engineers who are supportive of Samuel’s thirst for knowledge. “Education is super important to us in our family, and always has been,” Ella said. “He’s pretty motivated on his own — I guess we consider ourselves very fortunate that he’s kind of paved this path on his own. I feel very fortunate that he’s in an environment that allows him to explore his interests,” she added of LWA. Samuel appreciates the school’s growing science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM, program, and has begun to consider colleges he might attend. His dream university is Cornell, where he would major in either computer or mechanical engineering. He hopes to develop more apps, and expand his small software company.

Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said he opposed having the governor telling everyone on Long Island how to govern their local municipalities. “People live in villages to control its destiny,” he said, and if Hochul’s plan were to pass, “there would be no point to having [legal] control over the community.” Weinstock said that village officials are closest to their residents, and are the “most accountable, responsive and have the best idea, best understanding” of a community’s character and how it should evolve. He noted that legal zoning can allow “mother-daughter” residences, one-family houses with two fully equipped apartments. “This not unheard of, but we don’t want to open the floodgates,” Weinstock said, adding that elected officials across the county who oppose Hochul’s plan are focused on a political solution. “We want to maintain a semblance of consistency and what people moved here for,” he said. Loss of zoning control and the potential for an increase in traffic and a decline in quality of life are the primary reasons
Atlantic Beach Mayor George Pappas said the village opposes Hochul’s plan. “We fought for zoning in the village,” Pappas said, referring to when Atlantic Beach took legal action — all the way to federal court — and needed a countywide public referendum in 2002 for approval to create a village zoning board. “We are very, very concerned,” Pappas said, “and it’s a good idea that the villages band together.” There is some support for Hochul’s proposal. Lawrence Levy, dean of Hofstra’s National Center for Suburban Studies, told the Herald that the provision could help solve the affordable housing crisis. “It’s easy to understand why the folks running the county, towns and villages don’t want Albany telling them what to do, but the potential law reflects the frustration with advocates for more and better affordable housing,” Levy said. “This could be one of the solutions to the lack of affordable places to live and an opportunity for homeowners to get a little more revenue to defray the high cost of property taxes.”

I have always believed that holding political office is neither destiny nor a right as elected officials, we must give all we have and then know when it is time to allow others to serve.” “Though I will not be running for reelection to Congress this year," Rice continued, "I will remain focused on protecting our democracy and serving my constituents throughout the rest of my term. As I turn to the next chapter of my own personal and professional story, I do so with profound thanks to the community leaders, colleagues and staff who have lived our shared commitment to service with courage and humility.” During her time in the House of Representatives, Rice represented her district by aiming to check the rising cost of flood insurance after Hurricane Sandy and obtaining vital grant money for religious-

went through a lot. Most people tell me they could write a book about their experience. You need to see your building department records and get copies of the signed and sealed plans. Many municipalities keep records either in paper form, which you may have to pay for copies of, or onte eeper microfilm or computer files. Then speak with your inspector to find out what they think needs to be done. Most will be very helpful, and allow for the process to continue, asking you to hire a plumber to get a permit, which involves your notarized signature so you know it’s being done. In way too many cases, the plumber or contractor says it was done when it really wasn’t, so most municipalities require the owner’s signature on permit applications so the building department and owner are aware that the process is being done and is not false. The plumber needs to see your bathrooms, kitchen, heating equipment and any other plumbing to be sure it meets the plumbing code (and building code). The same process must be done with an electrician, but most building departments ask for a certification from a private agency, not your electrician, since most building departments don’t have an electrical inspector. The reason for this is that one of the two leading causes of fire is electrical (the other being use of the kitchen) so your local government wants nothing to do with the liability for fire safety. You’ll find that almost everyone in this process wants to avoid responsibility as much as possible. You may have to either call for an inspection agency yourself or, if you suspect that there could be questionable electrical work, hire a licensed electrician to inspect and correct before hiring an agency to detect, if you elect. The private agency charges a few hundred dollars, usually, depending on the number of rooms and outdoor items, like air conditioning condensers, pool equipment and landscape lights, which must also be inspected. After all this is done, you may be able to get a final inspection and a sign-off and certificate from your building department, unless … your building department makes you get plans and a new survey redrawn and updated to the most recent code, which is complicated, time-consuming and expensive — in the thousands of dollars — before you can get a final inspection. Allow plenty of time.

to retire and sell. Our real estate agent told us they checked our permit records and it was never signed off. Although it’s a long story, our first contractor went to jail and destroyed our original permit papers. The second contractor never got a plumbing permit or electrical sign-offs, even though they had people do the work. Is this going to be a big problem to get everything signed off, because we want to sell within the year to take advantage of the market right now? What can you advise?

think it’s finally time for Nassau County and me to kiss and make up. If you’ve read my columns over the past few years, you know I’m not particularly fond of the government, the infrastructure or the people out here. Four years after moving from my native Queens to East Meadow, I wrote a particularly scathing piece that I now wished I hadn’t. I want to admit now that I was wrong — or at least not in a position to be so judgmental at the time. The gist of the column was that NICK East Meadow — and Nassau CounBuglIoNE ty as a whole — stank. I complained about everything I could think of, from police to schools to sanitation. Growing up, I had been sold on the fact that Nassau County was better than Queens, I wrote at the time. The schools were stronger, the services were better and the streets were safer, I had been told. In the column, I whined that that was complete hogwash and, if I had my dru-
E
thers, I’d move back to Queens. At the time, I had only lived in East Meadow for a few years. My kids were young. I was making less money. I was grumpier — although my wife, Jill, would say that I’m still pretty grumpy. No, Nassau County isn’t a utopia. But what county is? A decade after moving here, I am counting my blessings. First off, all four of our kids went to school in-person last year. If we still lived in Queens, they would have mostly learned remotely between September and June. As a teacher at a Queens high school, I see the deleterious effect that extra year of remote learning had on our students. But we largely dodged that in Nassau County. And our schools aren’t just good, they’re great. The other day, my 10-yearold, Adriana, was playing her saxophone for my dad. Impressed with her skill, he asked where she was learning to play. “In school,” I replied. I spent 12 years in parochial and public school in Queens, and after all that, I was able to play maybe a few notes on the recorder. I’ve heard Adriana’s elementary
I
school band perform, and I would put them up against any high school band in Queens any day of the week. My 15-year-old stepson, Jake, decided this year that he wants to play football. But if we still lived in Queens, there’d be no guarantee that his school would even have a team. Meanwhile, my 18-year-old stepson, Nicolas, is AllCounty in cross-country, and will likely be All-County in wrestling, too. That’s partly due to the amazing coaching staff and sports programs we have here. If he wrestled on a city team, there’s a chance his coach may not have ever wrestled competitively. Elia, my 8-year-old, is still figuring out what she wants to do. She announced the other day she wanted to try field hockey. I love the fact that I was able to say, “Sure, hon. Whatever you want.” I don’t think they play field hockey in Queens. When I wrote that column that I now regret, I intimated the Nassau County police weren’t making the streets any safer here than the New York Police Department was in Queens. Not true. The cops out here do a great job.
had a lot of complaints in a long-ago column, and much of what I wrote was unfair.
About three years ago, I slipped off my stoop and cut my head pretty badly. Jill called 911. I was amazed at how fast we had two officers in my living room. It’s very reassuring to know there’s always a patrol nearby. While I escaped my life in Queens relatively unscathed, I was mugged at 11 and jumped and beaten up at 15. And those didn’t turn out to be isolated incidents. The high school I went to wasn’t the safest, and I had to be very careful where I ventured. I can count on one hand the number of times I ate lunch in the cafeteria. I probably used the restroom once in four years. Thank God my kids will never have to experience that. I also wrote that the Town of Hempstead sanitation guys often took their time plowing the streets after a snowstorm. But they did an amazing job of handling that blizzard a couple weeks back. I’m still not wild about the pizza in these parts, but I’m not above admitting that a lot of what I wrote in that column years ago was unfair. So, Nassau County, here’s your metaphorical smooch. I hope you’ll forgive me. Nick Buglione is a teacher, freelance journalist and former editor of the East Meadow Herald.
A nation divided by pandemic, or splintered?
arly in the coronavirus pandemic, it was easy to write off as stupid the folks who touted hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin as go-to Covid-19 treatments. Easy because the efficacy of those drugs was refuted by the best virologists in the world. It seemed obvious that people who denied the science of vaccine protection and masking were coming from a place of ignorance. They didn’t know better. As hundreds of RANDI thousands got sick KREISS and died, and the virus spread, many of us hoped people would change their minds and take the vaccine — not just for themselves, but also for the common good. But over these two years, there hasn’t been much of a learning curve. The antivaxxers stood firm. Many of them got Covid. An unthinkable number died. And still, people refuse to believe the simple scientific fact that vaccines keep people safer. When thousands of folks who were double-vaccinated and boosted started getting breakthrough cases of the Omi-
cron variant, that only reinforced the resistance among anti-vaxxers. Over time, some of us liberal-minded opinion writers tried to be less judgmental and more empathic. Maybe we could understand where the doubters were coming from. Many people had justifiable grievances: The rollouts were uneven, or the messaging was sometimes confusing. Fringe groups offered comfort in troubling times. Many of us engaged in intellectual gymnastics, trying to understand, to be patient and more tolerant of the resistance to vaccines and masks. Maybe we could bring the doubters along in time, we thought. We were wrong. We are now more than two years in, with more than 900,000 dead. This is what I know: What we are suffering in America today isn’t a break, it’s a compound fracture. There aren’t two opposing groups tugging at one another. It isn’t just people who get vaccinated and those who won’t. There are multiple splinters in this gaping wound — some sharp, some violent, some groups out for power, and some out for blood. Some people are ignorant: They don’t — or can’t — read the research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And they have lost faith in our gov-
W
ernment. Another splinter is people who are not only ignorant about science, but put their faith in a former president and his acolytes. In their reality, the political supersedes all other considerations. MAGA folks think the Biden administration is out to get them. At one point, people were posting notes online urging relatives to go into hospitals and remove their family members who were being treated for Covid. “They are trying to kill us,” one post said. Sadly, many GOP officeholders are willing to traffic in lies to keep power. Then there is the splinter of smart, highly educated people who are shamelessly harnessing the suspicion among millions of our citizens to their own political ends. They know the vaccines work. They know masking protects against infection. But they challenge the necessary mandates. Think Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Kellyanne Conway, Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell. They are among the most reprehensible of the lot because they know better. Someone like Marjorie Taylor Greene, an anti-masker and a general nut case, is a splinter unto herself. In a recent infa-
hat we're suffering in the U.S. today isn't a break, it's a compound fracture.
mous speech, Greene said that Nancy Pelosi was using secret police in Congress, like the “gazpacho.” She meant “Gestapo,” of course, because she can never resist a Holocaust reference in her crazy accusations. If Donald Trump was and is a cancer in our American culture, then she is his metastasis. There are also splinters of responsible people who understand and support the coronavirus science, but still have reservations about boosters or inoculating little kids. Many are impatient with the slow progress toward even more targeted vaccines and better therapeutics. We forget that the development of the vaccines was an astonishing medical achievement. Everyone is fatigued after two years of isolation and stress. These varied splinters unite to one end: to challenge vaccines and protective masks. The resistance crosses social, educational and cultural lines. The saddest group, I think, is those who are uninformed and vulnerable. They reject the science and the advice of the experts because they are caught in a paralyzing spasm of paranoia and anger. They are being cruelly used by the most heartless group, the super-smart members of the Republican Party who are stepping over dead bodies in a rush toward 2024. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

Best approach to unmasking is a cautious one
“
F
ollow the science.” That phrase, and variations on it, have become ubiquitous during the coronavirus pandemic. Sadly, those words, summing up evolving medical information, have sparked suspicion among many, leaving them doubting — and even rejecting — the science we should depend on to guide us through the worst public health crisis in a century. Even as it appears to be fading. As the pandemic spread nearly two years ago, it became apparent that mask wearing would be crucial, amid what we learned was primarily an airborne threat, and given that we all wanted to return to “normal” as soon as possible. Once we understood that we were in for the long haul, we debated the efficacy of face coverings. What type worked best? When and where to don them? At work? At school? At the gym? At family gatherings? As case numbers rose and fell — and with them the accompanying recommendations and restrictions — our patience ebbed. When vaccines came onto the scene, many of us thought for sure we had seen the end of masks. New variants
changed that, but many people were simply fed up, as we have witnessed at heated school board meetings across the country, willing to cast the scientific consensus aside and join the rallying cry for “freedom” from covered faces. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman was eager to lead the effort locally, and his clash with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s school mask mandate has wound up in the courts. Meanwhile, as the Omicron variant has waned, other states have begun to loosen mask-wearing restrictions — this time, so many of us hope, for good. Hochul lifted her mask mandate for public places last week. Masks are still required in hospitals, nursing homes and on public transportation, according to the state, but that has only added to the continuing confusion that is an inevitable product of pandemic fatigue. Despite growing cries from parents to unmask their children, to say nothing of political pressure — several Republican members of New York’s congressional delegation sent Hochul a letter demanding she end the school mandate — the governor remains steadfast, following what her
office termed “factual public health data.” She is expected to make a decision on whether to continue requiring masks in schools on March 1. Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical adviser, told the Financial Times that in this phase of the pandemic, “decisions will increasingly be made on a local level rather than centrally decided or mandated.” As masks quickly disappear in our area, we should keep in mind that we live in one of the most crowded corners of the country, and those decisions should be guided by common sense — and, yes, science. Given all we’ve learned about how the virus spreads, and how quickly its statistical trends can change direction, abandoning mask-wearing altogether seems to fly in the face of both. Another phrase repeated often over the past two years is “with an abundance of caution.” We caution elected officials to keep the advice of our health experts in mind when making decisions that affect so many lives, especially when it is far from clear that a deadly virus is finished wreaking havoc with them.

letters Appreciates ‘Person to Person’ To the Editor: Each week in her “Person to Person” column, Dr. Linda Sapadin comes up with a new view on a problematic issue. I look forward to her columns, because they are informative, instructive and original. She opens a new view of her topics with each writing. Hope the Herald continues to publish Linda’s take on matters of importance for a long time. CARLENE TORON Hewlett
It’s leadership, not propaganda, we need To the Editor: It’s 2022, but our government, state and federal, must have read G e o r g e O r we l l ’s “ N i n e t e e n Eighty-Four.” They have taken on the role of Big Brother, telling us what to do, i.e. masks and vaccinations.
We are inundated by statistics about Covid, but no one talks about the psychological damage done to all the children wearing masks, especially the preschoolers who have not yet developed language skills. Scientists have predicted damage done to our environment by pollution and stress climate control, but can they predict the long-range effects on children of the Covid vaccinations?
We are regarded as a cultured and civilized society, but our elected officials have done a poor job of protecting and upholding our rights. Crime, as well as racial prejudice, is off the charts, and our officials have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear. Shouldn’t they be accountable? Propaganda is a dangerous weapon, and it’s being used again. Since we are still able to live in a

lost my father six years ago. Of the painful dealings I’ve faced in my life up until now, nothing has quite compared to that searing loss. The news of his death had to cross an ocean to reach me. I was in New York. He was in a hospice in Ecuador, battling stomach cancer until his last breath. We never had a proper goodbye. My father’s untimely death has been brought into sharper focus by the departure of another significant man in my life, the Herald Community NewJUan papers’ executive editor, Scott BrinLasso ton. After 28 years here, Scott has moved on to his next adventure, teaching full-time at Hofstra University this spring before beginning a long-term research project. Scott’s hands were full this past year, training and guiding a new crop of young journalists — including me. It’s hard to imagine the editorial team without him. He was not only my boss, but also my mentor. I came to the Herald from Columbia University, with a degree in creative writing and political science. With no journalism training, I banked on the
strength of my writing to get my foot in the door. And Scott took a chance on me, swinging that door wide open. His first order was that I head to the public library for a copy of Carole Rich’s dazzlingly comprehensive “Writing and Reporting the News: A Coaching Method.” It’s a crash course for fledgling journalists on how to report and write the news, and Rich’s fierce clarity on the subject hooked me. I absorbed everything I could from the book, but that was only the beginning. The real work of journalism began as a form of personal transformation: Turning myself into a community reporter in Valley Stream, where I’d never set foot, let alone lived. I did it by talking to people, taking in the scenery, breathing the air, and immersing myself in the issues people care about — and doing it all amid the time crunch of weekly story deadlines. But before I could become an identifiable — and, I hope, trusted — figure in the community, I was the new kid on the block. It was brutal at first. But while I toiled and sweated, slammed against walls, and had doors slam on me, Scott was always my anchor and guiding compass.

Where’s the outrage? To the Editor: In the past two weeks we have laid to rest two heroes of the New York Police Department who were murdered in Harlem. Officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora were gunned down by a crazed criminal in a situation that the defundthe-police crowd would have wanted to send a social worker into. Six members of the NYPD have been shot so far this year. One was shot execution-style on New Year’s Day, while sleeping in his car in East Harlem after working New Year’s Eve. My question to everyone who climbed aboard the defund-the-police bandwagon is, where is the outrage? How can you possibly muster up outrage for the death of george Floyd, where the crime and punishment were handled swiftly through our court system, and turn a blind eye to what is happening to the brave people of law enforcement? To show how high up the Democratic food
Humane, relaxed and easygoing, he helped me navigate the terrain of a profession he’s known most of his adult life. When I faltered or overstepped my bounds, I dusted myself off and got back in the trenches with him. Scott never took his eyes off the story. The story mattered most. I learned by his example. And things got better. I’m not, at least not willfully, looking for paternal substitutes in the men around me. But I couldn’t help but see the similarities to a father-son relationship in the interactions between Scott and me. I couldn’t help thinking of him as approximating — no matter how incidentally or innocuously — a second father. In these times, a son rarely has the chance to get lost in his dad’s world. And the grimmer fact is that millions of men in America grow up without a father. The quality of father-son bonding also seems to have depreciated. I’m not talking about the everyday guy-bonding stuff, like sitting with Pops on the couch and watching a game. I’m talking about being at his side in the midst of his work — engaging with all your senses in an endeavor the old man treasures or excels in. Sons need those moments to learn how Dad operates in the arena of life and possibly, hopefully,
discover kernels of insight — no matter how small or imperfect — to help them confidently move about in this chaotic and messy world. Especially when Dad is no longer there. That father-son sharing is a priceless gift. I wish I could have spent more time with my father. I think many men have the same wish. But he is gone, and the lessons he learned and the mistakes he made that he shared with me remain treasures to me. There is no second try at fatherhood. There is also great danger, I suspect, in making father figures out of the more experienced, admired and trusted men around us. We risk getting lost in their shadows, modeling ourselves after them instead of forging our own way. Scott Brinton leaves behind a towering volume of exceptional work, the product of a passion for community journalism. He has also, like a true teacher and friend, cultivated a team of journalists who are equipped to carry on the good fight: to articulate truth, to serve the communities we cover, and to see the humanity in the stories we have the privilege of telling. He has been a blessing in my life, and I bid him a fond goodbye and much joy in his next journey. Farewell, Captain. Juan Lasso is the editor of the Valley Stream Herald. Comments about this column?

chain the disrespect goes, President Biden did not attend the funeral for Rivera, even though he had a planned trip to New York City to speak to Mayor Eric Adams about crime. In my estimation, tough Joe is a coward when it comes to confronting the radical left of his own party. Scores of thousands of people in our country died of fentanyl poisoning last year, from a drug that is made in China and being smuggled through our porous southern border, and no outrage. Children are being killed by stray bullets in our crime-infested inner cities, and there's no outrage. If you can only muster outrage whenever you can inject race into an equation for political gain, you are the major problem in our great nation. How did that guilt donation to Black Lives Matter work out for you? To the “woke” who are allowing all this carnage to occur while sitting in your safe, secure house/condo/apartment, I have a message. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, an appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last. If you keep pushing to defund the police and allow district attorneys not to prosecute crimes, that crocodile will be knocking down your door. TOM O’CONNOR North Bellmore
