An Atlantic Beach resident who lives steps from the ocean captured first place in the Climate Change category at the Long Island Youth Summit on April 8. Caroline Davis’s project focused on the potential for switchgrass, which is found in abundance on the South Shore, to help to remove a chemical compound called bisphenol-A, which is used in a wide array of plastic products,

from soil, including beach sand.

Davis, a senior at Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, began her project, titled “Phytoremediation potential of switchgrass (Pancium virgatum) to remove Bisphenol-A from distinct soil textures,” last spring, when she planted eight pots of switchgrass, one of many native warm-season North American grasses, outside her home.

The grass grew over the summer, and Davis analyzed it in the fall. Four of the Continued on page 15

Lawrence Middle School launches safe space lmargaria@liherald.com

Lawrence Middle School’s new safe space — the Social Emotional Learning Headquarters — was just an idea last year, but is now taking off, helping students through middle school and pre-teen difficulties.

Returning to school during Covid, Lawrence School District psychologist Karen Mackler noticed that many students had a difficult time acclimating socially compared to past school years.

“A lot of the kids have missed out on socialization with peers,” she said, noting the social distancing during Covid. “So we were finding that there were kids who were skittish about eating in the cafeteria, you know, kind of finding their place with a social peer group.”

Lian Lisnoff, an intern in the middle school's psychology program since September thought of creating a safe space within the school to address the student anxiety. “This was a place where it wasn't something that was demanding of our students,” Lisnoff said, describing the initial idea. “It was still a structured space where they can learn skills, but in a more relaxed setting.”

Lisnoff pitched the idea to Mackler, who approved, and Lisnoff brought two other psychology interns — Isaac Thkifati and Danielle Tesoriero — on board to refine the idea and write a proposal.

The proposal was based upon a room in the school already used for students with socialization difficulties to eat lunch or take a break. “Typically students that frequent this room are students that have

LAwRence MIddLe SchooL has created a safe space which implements social and emotional learning for its students. Above, seventh grade student Denise Martinez is performing a mindfulness exercise in the safe space. severe anxiety and do not really feel comfortable in large groups,” Lisnoff said.

“Here, they have more quiet space where they can make bonds and relationships with others who are similar to them.”

In early November, “We decided to do a DonorsChoose and ask for donations to kind of get more things in the room to make it feel homey and clubby,” so that even more students would use it to wind down, Mackler said. Many parents donated to create the safe space.

"To have a place where they can go and chill, because there's so much stress right now,” Mackler said, “not only with the pandemic, but also just middle school age has traditionally been anxiety [prone].”

By late November, the project for the

safe space was approved and by the following month, it was fully funded with $999 in donations, which bought ceiling panels that look like the sky, window decals of positive affirmations, bean bag chairs, yoga mats, games, fidgets, craft materials and more for the safe space, which is currently “taking off,” Mackler said.

Students can use the safe space during lunch or during times of stress to decompress, listen in on a specially programmed lesson, interact with fewer people or catch up on work. They can also work with clinical support staff to reinforce pro-social skills. “It's become a really nice part of our middle school where kids feel safe,” Mackler said.

The room’s upgrade to a SEL HQ has been a smart and helpful investment since it was implemented. “We had kids who came at the beginning of the year who no longer come because they feel safe and secure and they've made some friends,” Mackler said. Other students still come because they enjoy it, whether they are inherently introverted or just need a place to relax.

Lisnoff also saw major improvement in some students, which she credits to the SEL lessons taught in the room. “Some of our students prior to joining would not speak up at all because they're coming out of the pandemic,” she said.

“I believe that part of their growth is due to the SEL room — they started to feel more comfortable, they started to speak out and build resilience. I think that it’s helped them make connections to feel comfortable again — or feel comfortable for the first time,” Lisnoff added Middle school psychologist Michael Amorgianos thinks that implementing social and emotional learning was much needed, and has helped the students find an alternative place to socialize, find support, create positive relationships and cope with the stress of re-adapting to inperson school.

“We see it becoming more inclusive and we see that there's a lot more tolerance and more discussions being had in those rooms, in those settings, that are unable to be had in the lunchroom,” he said, crediting the interns with creating the safe space. “I don't know how we would have supported the students, especially during this time with the transition back to school. ”

The Brandeis School celebrates Passover

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Holidays usually blends generations together and at The Brandeis School Passover celebration students from the Early Childhood to eighth grade met and heard from Holocaust survivors.

At the annual school wide Model Seder nine sixth-grade students took the stage to present and perform for the filled to capacity cafeteria on April 12. The audience included Brandeis’ Early Childhood, Lower School and Middle School students and 20 Holocaust Survivors affiliated with the Gural JCC program in Cedarhurst.

The Passover preview included readings of the Passover Haggadah, singing traditional holiday songs and a presentation by Holocaust Survivor Roland Merton of Massapequa. The sixth-grade students also wrote their own Disney-parodied songs for the Sedar, using props to make the stage and its different characters come to life.

The celebration has taken place at the school for the last several decades to remind students and staff of the importance of keeping Jewish traditions alive and embracing freedom.

Lisa Margaria/Herald

The BRAndeIS SchooL’S Early Childhood students ate matzo and drank grape juice during the school-wide annual Model Seder celebration.

“It is a reminder for all of us that many, many years ago,” Head of School Raz Levin said, “something wonderful happened to our people. We need to remember and to remind ourselves every year, every day, that we were slaves and now we are free.”

Everyone sat at tables prepped with plates and cups to enjoy the Seder traditions, such as eating matzo — which rep-

resents the unleavened bread the ancient Hebrews ate while fleeing Egypt— and drinking wine — which represents the redemption of the Israelites from slavery under the Egyptians — or in the school’s case, grape juice.

Though the nine sixth grade students led the celebration, all the grade levels took part in traditional holiday songs throughout the Sedar, singing their pre-

practiced parts.

Merton recalled his family’s experience of the Holocaust, and he closed with blessings to the crowd. “I, myself, have children and grandchildren — the grandchildren are about your age,” Merton told the students, “and I want to give you the blessing, God’s blessing. May God protect you, be with you, guide you in the right direction and help you to avoid miscalculations so that you are not in a position that you'd have to worry about your own safety— and that you and your family may be Harriet Sanders, who teaches health, Jewish studies and social studies at the middle school level, has watched countless Seder celebrations over her 40 years at Brandeis, but this one especially stuck out to her.

“This is the first Sedar that I know of that was on this stage, it was the first Sedar that had a magnificent background — it had pizzazz,” Sanders said. She added that having the JCC at the school for the day was special and that “these kids were amazing.”

Stringing consecutive victories together for the first time this spring while exploding for 46 runs in the process has Hewlett’s softball team believing it can improve on last year’s 6-9 record under then first-year coach Haley Birnbaum.

“Everyone sees how good we can be now when everything is clicking,” Birnbaum said. “Winning these last two games is definitely a confidence booster and great for morale.”

The Bulldogs, who returned six starters from what Birnbaum described as a “rebuilding year in a lot of respects,” evened their Conference VI record through four games with convincing wins over Great Neck North (31-11 on April 8) and Elmont (15-3 on April 12.)

“Elmont was our best game to date,” Birnbaum said. “We were disciplined at the plate, capitalized on Elmont’s errors and played strong defense.”

Senior captain and five-year varsity player Molly Williams, who in 2021 was Honorable Mention All-County, crushed a grand slam in the win and senior Giana Nicolo added two hits and two stolen bases.

Senior Maralex Polanco, who like Williams pitches and plays shortstop, earned the win.

“Molly is so coachable and a true leader in the classroom and on the field,” Birnbaum said of Williams, who also helped Hewlett’s basketball team make a deep playoff run. “She’s a tremendous role model.”

Polanco, coming off an All-Conference season, has been doing more of the pitching lately, Birnbaum said, and learning how to trust the gloves behind her. “She’s coming into her own, cutting down on walks and knowing everyone behind her can make plays,” Birnbaum said. “She’s also a reliable bat.”

Both Polanco and Williams are working with a first-year varsity catcher. Junior Paige Underweiser put her strong arm on display against Elmont by recording her first caught-stealing. “Paige has lots of talent and a cannon arm,” Birnbaum said.

“Everyone went crazy when she got the

as the Bulldogs’ leadoff batter, senior outfielder Giana Nicolo serves as their offensive sparkplug. She had two hits in a win over Elmont.

Elmont runner out.”

Nicolo is the Bulldogs’ offensive spark from the leadoff spot and covers plenty of ground in right field. She’s a speedy lefty who is patient at the plate and aggressive on the bases, Birnbaum said. Nicolo, Emma Zalcman and Sasha Zohar led the hit parade in the victory over Great Neck North.

Zalcman is a senior captain and returning starter at first base who typically bats fifth. “She’s a hard-working team leader with a great swing,” Birnbaum said.

Zohar, a junior, is a rare left-handed thrower at the hot corner. She’s a power hitter being counted on to drive in runs from the cleanup spot. At second base,

senior Caitlin Moroney returned and brings positive energy to games and practices, Birnbaum said.

The coach is eager to see how sophomore left fielder Isabella Betancour takes her game to another level in just her second year playing softball. She already has an All-Conference resume. “Isabella is a gifted athlete with great hand-eye coordination,” Birnbaum said.

Senior Miranda Petrosini is rock-steady in center field and working hard to make a larger contribution at the plate, the coach said.

Hewlett will try to keep its momentum going this Friday when it visits Great Neck South in a 5 p.m. start.

Burning the chometz in Woodmere and A.B. Coming from across the Five Towns and the surrounding communities, people dropped their chometz into one of the five trash cans that the firefighters tended to ensure items burned safely.

There were also two tables that furnished copies of the prayers and two jars that people donated a few dollars to the fire department, an all-volunteer unit.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Town of Hempstead Clerk Kate Murray and Council people Anthony D’Esposito and Melissa Miller stopped by and addressed the importance of burning the chometz safely.

In Atlantic Beach, village Trustees Linda Baessler and Andrew Rubin welcomed people who dropped their chometz

into two trash cans and two receptacles out side village hall, also on April 15. The Long Beach Fire Department safely burnt those items.

Free in-person shredding event AARP Long Island and Herald Community Newspapers host a free on-site shredding event for sensitive personal and financial documents on Saturday, April 30, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., at 2 Endo Blvd in Garden City.

Register at LIHerald.com/shred.

But how do these scammers even know who Johnny is? That could be our own fault, Marcus said. We tend to overshare about our personal lives and family on social media platforms like Facebook.

It’s the perfect place for someone to gather all the information they need about family, locations, and even their interests.

While a scammer might temporarily hijack an identity to scam someone, actual identify theft remains a serious problem.

“Identify theft is the compromise of what I like to call your financial DNA,” Harris said. “This includes your name, your date of birth, Social Security number, account numbers, passwords — anything that can be used to assume your identity without your authorization.”

One of the most common ways identity theft happens, Del Giudice said, is through scam calls.

“Today, I probably got around five scam calls,” he said during the first webinar April 7. “There’s always somebody trying to offer me a great deal on car insurance or solar heating or whatever.

If you start talking to them, they’ll ask you for your home address, date of birth and Social Security number.”

If someone believes they are an identity theft victim, it’s important to place a fraud alert on their credit report, Del Giudice said. That same credit report — which is available free each year — also is a great way to identify if a scammer is using their name to open accounts and lines of credit.

If something is found, file a report with the police and the Federal Trade Commission, Del Giudice said. Organize personal information and continue to monitor credit reports and bills.

The AARP webinar series will conclude Thursday, April 28 at noon, focusing on romance scams. Then, on Saturday, April 30, AARP Long Island and Herald Community Newspapers will host an in-person shredding event between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., at the newspaper group’s Garden City headquarters at 2 Endo Blvd.

A woman with a varied career and a story Judy Goss is an author, a businesswoman, and a television host

By MICHAEL SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

During her illustrious career, Judy Goss has traveled the world modeling, hosting television shows, and becoming a published author.

But last March, she took on a new role: host of RichnerLive’s Premier Business Women of Long Island.

And it reminded her a lot of her company, What Women Want, which was originally based on women’s stories.

“So when I get into a room filled with hundreds of women who not only have stories, but have broken glass ceilings and paved the way for minority women, young women and really anyone who’s out there,” she said, “it just lifts me to levels that I can’t even describe.”

The host of AWE cable channel’s “Behind the Gates” is a regular contributor to NBC and Fox as well. Goss also leads a show featuring her home decor line on QVC, which broadcasts from her Merrick house.

She founded What Women Want in 2010, a networking company with some 60 chapters nationwide. Initially geared specifically toward women, What Women Want recently incorporated men, and will soon change its name to Wealth and Wisdom.

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, the networking company switched to an all-online model, where experts gather virtually to discuss topics such as cybersecurity, book writing and law, among other things.

“It follows the traditional model of networking, but according to subject matter now,” Goss said. “It’s about getting together, meeting new people, and forming connections.”

Christina Daly/Herald

TELEvISION HOST, AuTHOr and businesswoman Judy Goss hosted RichnerLive’s Premier Business Women of Long Island event last March.

The company also donates money to charities close to the local chapters in each state. That includes Dress for Success, a global not-for-profit that empowers women to achieve economic independence by providing a network of support, professional attire, and the devel-

opment tools to help women thrive in work and in life.”

In “Behind the Gates,” Goss gives viewers an upclose and personal look inside various mansions. In addition to her duties for AWE, in early 2020, Goss began hosting shows for QVC and drove from her home to studios in West Chester, Pennsylvania, three to four times each week.

After the pandemic hit, QVC helped Goss build a studio in her home, and began streaming from there. She continues to host the show, and says she is in talks with several networks to write and produce a new program highlighting women in the future.

Goss is from Olney, Maryland, which she describes as a small town, moving to Manhattan in 1989 after graduating from the University of Maryland. She went on to become a high fashion model, traveling the world.

It was while living in New York that Goss met Bruce Levitt, who co-owns Mur-Lee’s clothing store in Lynbrook, started by his father and uncle in 1946. They eventually moved to Long Island and raised twins, who are now seniors at Calhoun High School.

Levitt himself won a Herald Long Island Choice Award earlier this month, chosen by Herald readers and local business customers, while Goss was recognized at the Premier Business Women of Long Island a few weeks earlier that she also hosted.

Hosting the awards meant a great deal to her.

“I thought it was really well-done,” Goss said. “I’ve produced events for What Women Want with over 200 women attending for a three-day conference, and I was just so impressed with the way things were done.

“Things flowed seamlessly, and the quality of women was superb.”

I’d prefer to imagine a kid as a budding Robin Williams with his own unique personality, rather than a kid with a deficit, a disorder, a brain abnormality or a need for medication. I don’t want to rule out the possibility that labels may aid in understanding a problem or discovering an appropriate course of action, but the danger is that a child becomes his diagnosis.

Too often Jason becomes an ADD kid, not a kid with ADD. Don’t think that little twist makes a difference? Think again.

Make it personal. apadin Would you want to be described as an orderly deficient person or as one who has trouble with organizational skills? An attention deficit adult or as one who finds it tough to stay on task? To label kids with psychiatric diagnoses should be our last resort - especially if that diagnosis leads to dependence on psychiatric drugs as the primary choice of treatment.

To o o f t e n p i l l p o p p i n g h a s become the way to go to solve many a problem. Yet pill popping may be the easy choice, not the wise choice.

Alternative ways to help kids control their impulses are slower and more complex. They may require modifications in school routines, teachers’ expectations, parenting styles, learning environments, diet, activities and more. Creative solutions require an appreciation of strengths and weaknesses as well as patience to allow a child to progress at his or her own pace.

■ ADD stands for Attention Deficit Disorder.

■ ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

■ ODD stands for Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

■ LD stands for Learning Disability.

If a kid is having difficulty in school, rather than shove him into a psychiatric diagnosis, I’d prefer to describe the child’s behavioral symptoms he needs help with. Difficulties might include: ■ Trouble memorizing material ■ Short attention span ■ Works slowly ■ Difficulty following directions ■ Trouble staying focused on tasks ■ Lack of attention to detail ■ Can’t sit still, always in motion ■ Learns better by doing than by reading ■ Needs more time to “get it”

The language used to describe children who don’t do well in school has taken a dramatic turn from yesteryear– in many ways for the better, in some ways not so much better.

In yesteryear, kids who did poorly in school or didn’t behave well were labeled as nogood, lazy, smartass, defiant, daydreamer, or just plain dumb.

Punishment consisted of hitting, yelling, shaming, blaming, lecturing or writing them off. Kids were repeatedly told that they were b a d , s t u p i d , wo u l d never amount to anything or would end up inda in jail. I’m thankful that for the most part, we’ve eliminated this verbal abuse.

But how much progress have we made when we replace old labels with psychiatric diagnoses that call children disordered, deficient and disabled? Lest we forget:

scholar has ever thought to empirically test whether its impact varies with soil type,” Sullivan wrote in an email. “Additionally, Caroline is very thorough, fastidious even. Precision and consistency are hallmarks of good science. Great kid. Wonderful project.”

Davis had taken part in group projects, but, she said, this was the first time she conducted high-caliber research independently. “It feels very validating to have this project, and all of the time and energy I poured into it, be recognized,” she said. “The recognition has also fueled me to continue this research in whatever capacity I am able.”

Headed to SUNY Binghamton in the fall, Davis said she planned to major in physics, and had been accepted by the university’s Scholars Program and First-Year Research Immersion program. She looked forward, she said, to conducting research on clean energy over the next two years.

“Completing this research project has confirmed to me my interest in conducting research in a professional environment,” Davis wrote. “I have learned a lot more about the process of conducting research professionally, and in presenting my research to various competitions and in my writing, it has made me very excited to continue individual research in college and hopefully, throughout my career.”

continued from front page plants were in fine-textured soils, and the other four were planted in coarser soils. Last October, Davis began collecting and analyzing grass samples, with the guidance of Andrea Stadler, an associate professor of chemistry at St. Joseph’s College, in Patchogue, who is also the associate chairwoman of the school’s chemistry department.

“My official results yielded that there was no statistically significant difference between switchgrass’s effectiveness in removing BPA from coarse and fine soils,” Davis explained in an email.

“This indicates that a plant engineered technology using switchgrass to remove BPA from soil could be implemented in a broader range of soils.”

At the Long Island Youth Summit, high school students are encouraged to help solve local and regional social, economic and environmental problems. By collaborating with leaders of business, government and nonprofit organizations, they nurture their creative, research and social skills. This year’s summit was held virtually on April 8.

“Caroline’s project aligned with the core values of the LI Youth Summit,” Stadler wrote in an email. “The inspiration for this work came from a paper she found, and she developed a well-thought solution using her local environmental resources.”

Longtime Rock Hall museum director retires

continued from front page ment, craft vendors, food and colonial historians. It has offered hayrides and pumpkin patches as well. “The fair has flourished over the years,” Barreira said, “and is something both I and my entire staff take great pride in.”

Interim Director Amy Vacchio, who grew up in Inwood, started at Rock Hall in 1999, as an intern from Hofstra. She became a full-time employee in 2001.

Having worked alongside Barreira as an assistant for 22 years, Vacchio sees her as more than just a boss, she said. “She has been a friend, mentor and we are a family,” Vacchio wrote in an email, detailing how Barreira taught her about gardening, cooking, animals and more.

“We have spent so many years together, and Rock Hall and Linda have always been synonymous,” Vacchio added. “I will miss her, she is a true friend, colleague and partner and I hope to continue her legacy. “Linda put her heart and soul into this place and made Rock Hall the amazing museum it is today.”

When Barreira was promoted to director, she moved into the hall’s residence wing, and the museum became her home. “ It wasn’t just a building, it was a home that needed to breathe, that needed heartbeats outside and in,” she wrote. “It was a garden that needed watering at all times, so that it would look fresh, dynamic, and tended to each day. I found that Rock Hall needed daily love and attention. If I drove away from the museum, it

The Rock Hall Museum The property, in Lawrence, is a preRevolutionary War house and trail site dating back to 1768, when it was completed by Josiah Martin, a wealthy West Indian plantation owner and the property’s original owner.

The two-and-a-half-story residence — with a Federal period dining room, parlors, a reconstructed colonial kitchen and authentic bedchambers — was home to only two families, the Martins, from 1768 to 1824, and the Hewletts, from 1824 to 1948.

The landmark building offers a glimpse of life in the area spanning at least two centuries. It was deeded to the Town of Hempstead in 1948 to serve as a museum.

felt like the breath was going out of it, and I had to get back as soon as possible.

I cared for it, and I think there was a maternal aspect to my care — very much like a mother who has to walk away from an infant — there (were) never more than a few moments before the museum needed to be tended to.

“My relationship to Rock Hall has grown over the years, just like the relationship a mother has to her children,”

Rock Hall MuseuM Director Linda Barreira, right, helped children harvest vegetables from the garden in 2013. she added. “Initially it’s as simple as food and water, and then the needs become more sophisticated.”

While Barreira developed a maternal relationship with the museum, she also became a mother there, giving birth to two daughters and raising them at Rock Hall.

“As my first child grew up, we incorporated a lot of storytelling in our life at Rock Hall,” she recalled.

When the weather was nice, Erica would sit under an oak and listen to her mother tell stories.

This family experience grew into a community experience, as Barreira invited other visitors to listen to stories under the oak, eventually turning it into a regular reading program.

As a resident gardener, Barreira grew snap peas, radishes, string beans, arugula, zucchini, raspberries, tomatoes, cucumbers and more from seed, which her family — and visitors — enjoyed.

Gardening was not only in keeping with the history of the hall, but was also enjoyable and rewarding for Barreira — feeding her children and the community naturally and nutritiously.

“For some parents,” she said, “gardening at Rock Hall was the first opportunity

… to expose their children to truly fresh produce — something they may not have eaten out of their own refrigerator.”

Erica, her oldest daughter, recounted growing up in the hall after moving in at just 18 months old. “I grew up in a majestic place,” Erica wrote in an email, “a big white house with a circular driveway on three acres of gardens.”

She recalled showing childhood friends the museum, having sleepovers in the main hall and the small farm of goats, rabbits, alpacas and chickens that her family raised on the property.

“I could not ask for a more fulfilling childhood,” Erica wrote, “and now with my own daughter, Lucia, who is turning 3 in May, I hope to emulate it. She has a strong bond with her Nana, and through her, has developed a deep connection with the animals and everything else Rock Hall embodies.”

“Ultimately, as I remember my time here at Rock Hall,” Barreira wrote, “I am most proud of having cultivated the museum and its grounds into a safe space for the community. I always strove to make Rock Hall a friendly place. A place where children weren’t afraid to come for an afternoon of wholesome, homespun, intimate programs.”

Q. We’re planning to replace our old windows, and are doing research online to make sure we make the right decision. I saw that there’s an option for “triple pane” windows instead of double panes. It appears to be much more money, but the writer of one article says it’s well worth it. Are you familiar with triple panes, do we need permits to change our windows and is it worth the expense? We’ve lived in our current home for five years and plan to be here for the rest of our lives, hopefully a long time, while we raise our family. What do you think?

A. I could simply say that you get what you pay for, but I’m certain you need more of an explanation, since you’ve taken the time to investigate and educate yourself. In your investigation, I’m sure you saw engineering data, lots of comparative numbers and U-values, the rating acronym for glass unit values. The lower the U-value, the betonte eeper ter the insulating value of the glass.

Because the majority of heat or cool transmission or loss of energy is through the windows, while the walls, floor and roof are more insulated, it’s most important to do something to prevent losing all that energy you’re paying to create. Whether it’s your air conditioning or your heat, the outside of your house, referred to simply as the “envelope,” is of critical importance to insulate, especially with ever-rising energy prices. While most building departments don’t require a permit for changing out the windows “in kind,” meaning in the same size and location, some will require a permit for any little thing, like sanding your floors or adding closets, and I’m not kidding, so it’s best to check their rules online, or call your local building department directly.

Another thing to be aware of is that changing windows can trigger fire safety escape rules, referred to as egress windows, and most up-anddown, or double-hung colonial windows don’t meet the requirement if you don’t have at least one window in every habitable room with a size of 5.7 square feet. The window must have a clear escape opening of 20 inches in width and a minimum height of clear opening of 24 inches. Remember that a large fire rescuer must be able to save you.

Triple pane is a great value, because you’re always losing costly energy, so the return on investment, especially if this is your long-term home, makes it well worth it. Windows lose the most energy at the edges, so the type of gasket joining the windows to the frame is critical. The most effective frames have insulation blocking, not just a thermal break in the frame. A thermal break is usually a thin gasket between the outside and inside frames.

Adding insulation, instead of leaving open air spaces in the frame, saves more energy, so it’s important to look for.

opinions

ong Island is a geographic wonder. Technically, it stretches from Montauk Point into Brooklyn, but Nassau and Suffolk counties are the key parts of the island. In those two counties there are over 100 villages and 11 towns. While all of these jurisdictions are supported by property taxes, they have many needs that their residents cannot afford to pay for.

One of the biggest headaches for these aging communities is downtown blight, which hurts existing businesses and JERRY chases away new ones.

KREMER New York state has been extremely generous with the assistance it provides to all levels of government, and thanks to some progressive thinking, the state created the Downtown Revitalization Initiative. This year the state will provide roughly $400 million to help local governments deal with empty storefronts and abandoned properties. Under this program, communities compete for $10 million grants to help transform downtown neighborhoods into vibrant centers of activity.

A

“

There has been fierce competition for these funds, because many of our villages and towns have targeted areas where that money could create a whole new economic magnet. To date, municipalities including Amityville, Central Islip, Hicksville, Riverhead and Westbury have won state grants. The local leadership in those areas, with community input, will use the funds to create attractive businesses, apartments, office space and parking near Long Island Rail Road stations.

Baldwin and the InwoodNorth Lawrence station area have won these grants, and have enlisted local input to make sure that the money is used properly. In both instances, the Town of Hempstead has approved zoning changes to pave the way for these communities to qualify for the grants. The Inwood-North Lawrence designated area received that zoning approval in May 2019. The Baldwin site has garnered the support of the Baldwin Chamber of Commerce and other business leaders, and a local developer has unveiled plans for residential apartments adjacent to the railroad station.

Having spent over 50 years on Long Island, including my service in the State Legislature, I’m very familiar with both

B

communities and their desperate need to eliminate blighted areas. I’ve heard all of the traditional arguments against new projects. Opponents will claim that new apartments will flood the schools with new children even when only one-bedroom apartments are planned. Others will claim that a proposed seven-story residential building in a county with 1.3 million residents will turn the local area into “the Rockaways.”

Whether it’s to appease the objectors or just plain politics, the Town of Hempstead has scheduled a public hearing on April 26 to decide whether to impose a one-year moratorium on the Baldwin and InwoodNorth Lawrence projects, which would effectively kill them. Quashing these types of efforts sends two messages to the outside world. It tells young Long Island singles that there is no room for them to remain in Nassau County, and it tells New York state that the Town of Hempstead isn’t interested in these precious grants.

If you can afford two extra gallons of gas, it’s worth traveling to Patchogue, where good leadership has resulted in the creation of a model community.

Patchogue is being joined by Amityville,

light in the center of our towns and villages is bad for businesses old and new.

Central Islip, Riverhead, Ronkonkoma, Westbury and Wyandanch, which have qualified for or are using these grants.

The Town of Oyster Bay is cooperating with New York state to advance its project in Hicksville, and would gladly take any extra money that the Town of Hempstead turns down.

For the record, I have no connection to either the Baldwin or Inwood-North Lawrence project, and have not spoken to any consultants, lawyers or developers who are involved with them. I have spoken to four business leaders in the two communities who have expressed their frustration and anger over the town’s failure to keep its promises when there is a visible need in their own backyards. There must be some way the town and the interested parties can find a way to make these proposed downtown revitalization projects happen.

Passing a moratorium is a death sentence for any community renaissance at a time when it is so badly needed. I hope that reasoning, and not politics, wins the day.

The holidays don’t dampen worldwide strife

ll we are saying is give peace a chance” —John Lennon, 1969 This week the three major religions of the world marked their holy days in calendric synchrony. Over the same few days, Muslims observed Ramadan, Jews celebrated Passover and Christians rejoiced at Easter services.

There, in itself, is every reason to hope for peace on earth.

Yet despite the rhyming and timing of religious holidays that brought together RAnDi hundreds of milKREiss lions of people in common and sacred rituals, the world is caught in a spasm of violence, conflict and grief.

Eruptions of fighting, from Ukraine to Israel to Afghanistan to Myanmar to Yemen, to skirmishes throughout South America and Africa, to fractious divisions within our own country, all feel discordant with the homilies coming from the pulpits and the hope for peace on earth.

At any moment, hot spots around the globe could ignite. See: Latvia, Taiwan, the South China Sea, the Persian Gulf,

Kashmir, Syria and the Korean Peninsula.

There have been times of relative world peace going back to the Pax Romana, a 200-year-interval when Rome ruled the civilized world. History teaches us, however, that the nature of human beings pushes them to fight for what they need or want. Today, though, the weapons are more lethal, the outcomes of war are more catastrophic, and we humans seem less inspired by the calls to peace by leaders, religion, or the cautionary tales of history. We all know the exceptions, when people need to stand and fight; still, so much conflict ends only in lost lives and time and homeland.

Read the headlines at press time. From the New York Times: “Russia has sent a series of warnings to the Biden administration, demanding that it halt shipment of weapons to Ukraine or risk unpredictable consequences. …

“The messages came as Russia hit a missile factory near Kyiv and set a stage for a bloody battle to take control of eastern Ukraine. … The sinking of one of Russia’s most formidable warships, the Moskva, is a stunning blow for the country — whether the ship sank after an accidental fire, as Russia’s Defense Ministry

B

maintains, or after being struck by missiles, as Ukraine has claimed.”

From Al Jazeera: “Palestinians and Israelis have witnessed an increase in violence over the past month, with Palestinian attackers targeting Israeli cities and Israeli forces stepping up raids, shootings and arrests across the illegally occupied West Bank.

“The recent surge marks the deadliest wave of violence since 2016.

“Four attacks by Palestinians in four Israeli cities have taken place since March 22, killing 14 people, while Israel has increased its raids on Palestinian towns and villages, leading to daily clashes and arrests. Sixteen Palestinians have been killed in the same period, including those who committed the attacks in Israel. The two most recent attacks in Israel took place in Tel Aviv and Bnei Brak, and were carried out by Palestinians from the occupied West Bank.”

From Haaretz: “Around 50,000 Muslims, half from the West Bank, arrived at the Al-Aqsa Mosque for noon prayers Friday after a six-hour clash at the site between Palestinians and Israeli police, the worst skirmishing in Jerusalem since

ut the synchrony of holy days begs us, for a moment, to think about peace.

the month of Ramadan began on April 1.

At least 152 Palestinians and three Israeli police officers were injured in the clashes Friday.”

In Serbia, during a soccer match last week, the crowd held up a giant banner critical of America, listing all the world conflicts where the United States has sent troops. The banner ended on a sarcastic tone, with the message, “All We Are Saying is Give Peace a Chance.”

No one would argue that global peace is on the horizon. However, even as the war in Ukraine and the violence in Israel make headlines, the coincidence of the holidays begs us for a moment to think about peace. Just a moment to turn toward the light.

Consider: “Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.” — the Dalai Lama “If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.” — Mother Teresa “‘Give Peace a Chance’ is an anti-war song written by John Lennon (originally credited to Lennon–McCartney) and recorded with the participation of a small group of friends in a performance with Yoko Ono in a hotel room in Montreal.”

Maintaining VA centers is the least we can do

i

n the waning weeks of the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln realized that sooner rather than later, the tens of thousands of Union soldiers returning from the battlefield would be forced to fend for themselves.

Many times, we reflect on the number of soldiers who died in the War Between the States — more than 655,000 from both sides — but overlook those who made it back home, in nowhere near the same physical shape. On the Union side alone, more than 280,000 were injured, many of whom would require some sort of medical care for the rest of their lives.

Lincoln established what would become the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, with the first facility opening in Augusta, Maine, in 1866. Another dozen would join it by the time the Veterans Bureau was established in 1921, and the number would grow to some 125 Veterans Administration hospitals following World War II. VA medical centers provide our heroes with high-quality medical care for the rest of their lives. It’s the least we can do for those willing to give so much for our country.

Veterans on Long Island have been treated in Northport since the 1920s, and a full patient care facility opened in 1972, on 268 acres of land not far from the NassauSuffolk line. It currently serves more than

letters With Blakeman, we return to Mangano era To the Editor: County Executive Bruce Blakeman inherited a government that was fiscally strong with a restored sense of public integrity. It is now his responsibility to preserve and build on this progress.

Regrettably, there are troubling signs that the new administration is reverting to questionable practices that sent top county officials to prison, caused the indictment of a former county executive while he was still in office, and generally betrayed the public trust.

Based on my experience during my decade as legislator, I am especially concerned about the lack of transparency, accountability and integrity shown during the Blakeman administration’s first three months. One example is the handling of the county’s proposed settlement with LIPA — something that directly impacts the residents of my district.

Right now, the Island Park and North

50,000 former servicemen and women, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, with most hailing from the Suffolk side.

Northport is one of 10 such facilities in the state, so, overall, there’s one for about every 2 million New Yorkers. But because of its location, the VA facility on Long Island serves an area with a population of 7.6 million. And if the VA follows through on a new recommendation, it would worsen the situation.

Washington expects that the number of Long Island veterans who need the Northport center will drop by nearly a third before the decade is over. And despite millions of dollars in upgrades in recent years — including some significant funding allocated by U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi — Northport’s facility is significantly outdated, and it would cost more than $600 million to make still more needed upgrades.

With all that in mind, the VA wants to shutter Northport, and shift services to neighboring civilian hospitals and other veterans facilities, primarily one across the New York City line, in St. Albans, Queens — nearly 50 miles from Northport.

While that might be closer for some Nassau veterans, it would be a hardship for anyone not close to Queens.

Suozzi has joined a chorus of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle in deriding

this plan, which calls for closing 17 VA hospitals nationwide. Although the agency plans to replace them with 30 new facilities, critics of the proposal say that not enough thought is being given to where those facilities would be located.

Northport is a perfect example. The VA is justifying shuttering the facility based on a seven-year outlook, but it could take that many years just to get its new proposal off the ground, given the miles of bureaucratic red tape in Washington. Projections are needed for the next 30 years, not seven.

And since the population of Long Island is growing, not shrinking, it’s safe to say there will be enough former servicemen and women among the millions living here to justify not only keeping the hospital in Northport, but giving it the upgrades it needs.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur once famously declared that “no man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.” The World War II leader meant that the tens of thousands of men and women at the ready to protect those freedoms needed to be supported in every way during — and after — their service.

VA medical centers are the very cornerstone of that support, and the bar to justify removing even one can never be set too high.

everal years ago, during my first day on the job as regional disaster officer for the American Red Cross in Central and South Texas, where I worked before joining the organization here in New York, a call came in that a plane had crashed into the IRS building in Austin, with hundreds of people inside.

Having lived through the Sept.

11 attacks in Manhattan, I instinctively flashed back to the horror of that day. Then I took a deep breath and quickly began mobilizing a team JoSe to respond. my office Dominguez Though had only two staff members, I knew we’d be able to count on the many trained Red Cross volunteers in the area to jump into action to provide both physical comfort and emotional support to those affected.

The same is true for all emergencies that the Red Cross responds to, including the roughly 350 home fires, floods and other disaster calls for help that the organization answers each year on Long Island, where I now work. No matter the

time of day or the severity of the crisis, our volunteers are always ready and willing to help wherever they’re needed — whether it’s down the street or, sometimes, across the country. Volunteers make up 90 percent of our workforce, and without them the Red Cross simply wouldn’t exist.

This week, April 17-23, is National Volunteer Week, and it gives us an opportunity to thank these selfless people, who do everything from teaching emergency preparedness to supporting our military communities to installing free smoke alarms — in addition to responding to disasters.

Often they put their own lives on hold to help others in need, and their work has been especially important during the coronavirus crisis of the past two years.

They drop everything, often in the middle of the night, to provide comfort and compassion to our neighbors across Long Island after emergencies that occur nearly every day. Volunteers from Nassau and Suffolk counties also traveled far from home to help those impacted by tornadoes in Kentucky, wildfires out West and hurricanes on the Gulf Coast.

Last June, I joined volunteers from all

hey respond to 350 home fires, floods and other disasters each year on L.I.

LeTTerS Shore school districts face an increase in school taxes of as much as 20 percent.

However, the administration has failed to provide school officials with even the most basic information or advocate for their interests.

We are especially concerned by how the Blakeman administration seems intent on undermining the reforms we worked so hard to implement after the widespread corruption of the Mangano years.

Some of the people he has hired include a man whose involvement in a politically motivated arrest cost county taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlements and legal fees; a man who was convicted in a bribery scheme to sell patient data from Nassau University Medical Center to personal injury lawyers; and even a man who stated that there is such a thing as “good racism” to chair the Nassau Health Care Corp., Board.

What Blakeman has failed to address in his first three months in office is even more concerning. We are still waiting to hear his vision for protecting the environment, keeping toxic contaminants out of our drinking water, and guarding our communities from extreme weather caused by climate change. We have yet to hear a plan for reducing county fees or improving our assessment system, despite promises for immediate action.

Despite promises to the Legislature

over the country, including some from Long Island, who deployed to Surfside, Fla., after the building collapse there. The main focus of our team members was the mental well-being of survivors and the families of those who didn’t make it out.

Providing emotional support is an important part of the work that trained Red Cross volunteers do both at the scenes of disasters and afterward. There were so many sad stories in Surfside, and so much trauma. I was in awe of how resilient our mental-health volunteers were, and their ability to help people begin to cope with the shock and grief they were feeling.

I’m always grateful for the vast skills of our volunteers, and National Volunteer Week is when we ask our neighbors to recognize the impact of selfless volunteers from the Long Island Red Cross as well as those who support their communities through all the other great local service organizations. We also use the week as a chance to reach out to people from all backgrounds and professions and invite them to join our team.

The Red Cross has so many different activities and lines of services for people to get involved with based on their experi-

ence, their interests, or both.

Becoming a volunteer takes time, commitment and a lot of flexibility, but I think most would agree that it’s worth it. As Red Cross volunteer Margaret Sukhram, a nurse practitioner from Suffolk County, puts it, “I feel richer every day for volunteering. I feel that I’m making a difference in people’s lives.” As a bonus, she has developed great friendships with some of the other volunteers she’s met.

If you’re thinking about volunteering, my advice is to choose an organization whose mission resonates with you. And try to go in with open eyes, understanding that it won’t always be hugs and handshakes. Sometimes it will require lots of patience and hard work. But finding an organization that’s the right fit will make it worthwhile.

This is my 16th year with the Red Cross, and I’m so proud to work alongside the many talented volunteers who make such a huge impact both here on Long Island and across the country. Thanks to all who turn compassion into action every day by delivering help and hope where it’s needed most.

and the people of Nassau County to work in a bipartisan, transparent manner, Blakeman is failing to do so.

The minority caucus will always be ready to roll up our sleeves to make the county an even better place to live, work and raise a family.

Welcome to leaf blower season To the editor: Finally, spring starts to give some signs that it has arrived: the warmer weather, the chirping of the birds — except I really can’t hear the chirping because of the din and roar of the leaf blowers being used by the lawn service across the street.

These blowers have become an extremely annoying fixture of our warmweather landscape. Be it morning, while we’re trying to savor a cup of coffee on the back deck, or at dinnertime, when we’d like to enjoy a barbecue in the yard, they can be heard droning on and on in the background, sometimes in the distance and sometimes so close you’d think we lived next to an airport.

The quality of life in Nassau County has slowly changed over the years, given

A welcome sign of the season — Baldwin

the increasing congestion, the high taxes and the soaring cost of home ownership.

Can’t we at least try to preserve one of the simplest vestiges of suburban living — peace and quiet, and the ability to hear yourself think on a balmy day? While I would like to see these things totally banned, even limiting the times when

they can be used to midday hours would be a step in the right direction.

What are your thoughts? I said, WHAT ARe YOUR THOUGHTS? Sorry I had to yell, but they’re working in my neighbor’s yard.
