HEWLETT RESIDENT STEVEN Greenberg, 75, will compete in the New York City Triathlon this Sunday. Above, Greenberg at a Miami event in April.

Why does Steve Greenberg enter so many triathlons? By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Call him the triathlon man. Steven Greenberg will compete in at least his 200th “tri” this Sunday — the 20th New York City Triathlon. The event includes a 1,500-meter swim, 24.8 miles of cycling and a 6.2-mile run, and nearly 3,000 triathletes from around the world will take part. Greenberg, 75, a Hewlett resident for 52 years, has always been an athlete. He swam

and played tennis growing up, and started running in 1975, when he was in his late 20s. “Around 1980, this crazy sport called triathlon started,” he recalled, “and it sounded interesting. So I embarked upon it. And here I am — what is it? 42 years later.” He took part in his first triathlon with no preparation or training. This summer, he plans to compete in eight of them, including the 20th Verizon New York City Triathlon’s Marquee Race on Sunday. He is the only perCONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Steve Greenberg has competed in 200 triathlons

NASSAU HERALD — July 21, 2022

continued from front page son who has participated in every New York City Triathlon, according to a release by the triathlon’s owner and producer, Life Time. “This is not what I do for a living,” Greenberg, who owns a real estate consulting company, said. “This is by choice — and I love it.” He realized early on that triathlons require specific training and preparation. He spending at least an hour every morning running, biking or swimming, he said. “For me, it’s a joy,” Greenberg said. “I get up every morning and I can’t wait to go out and either run or bike or swim. I absolutely love it. … I’ve always enjoyed the satisfaction of exerting myself — perspiring. And I never did any of this because I was going to live longer, you know, I did it for the quality of life today. I feel great today.” Though he has trained with a group in the past, “At my age, 75, most of my contemporaries have stopped competing,” he said. “They’ve had hip replacements and knee replacements, you know — they’ve died, unfortunately. So over the years, I just kept going, and it’s me and my little iPod, playing the Doobie Brothers.” Greenberg said he looks forward to seeing familiar faces at races, people who have competed along with him over the past 20 to 30 years. “As that group gets smaller,” he said, “I think the camaraderie gets stronger.” Because the distance of triathlons varies, “the longer the distance the more training I have to put in — but I’m in pretty good shape,” he said. “So I’m able to knock them off one after the other.” Steven’s wife of 53 years, Louise, says that the annual New York City tri is very important to him. And as is the case with almost every event he enters, she will be there to cheer him on. In years past, when the field of competitors was smaller, Louise would write him messages in chalk on the 59th Street Bridge. “I give him all the credit in the world for sticking with it and being as successful at it as he’s been,” she said. “And I’m very proud of it.” She added that their marriage has been successful because he runs. “Whenever he was in a bad mood, going back 50 years ago,” Louise recounted, “I would hand him his sneakers and say, ‘Go running.” Greenberg’s post-triathlon recovery? “Two Diet Cokes,” he said. He is “pretty tired but I’m not wiped out,” afterward, he said, and usually wants to go for a swim soon after a race and watch some television that night.

Still hungry to compete

He is extremely competitive, and plans to race — and place — in all of his triathlons. Triathlons are scored by gender and age group, and he’s in the 75-and-over group. “I pride myself that I’m usually first — occasionally second,” he said. “I can tell you that when I come home second, I’m in a miserable mood,” he laughed.” When results are published at the end of a race, Greenberg likes to see how he finished not just in his age group, but overall. “I get a real thrill at being higher up

During a race, passing or beating younger competitors is a personal victory, he said. Triathletes have their ages written on their calf with a marker, so they can know, at least during the biking and running legs, if the people near them are in their age group. “I get a big kick when I pass a younger person, and they see my age on my calf and they go, ‘Oh my God,’” Greenberg said with laughed. “Sometimes on the bike, I’ll come up behind somebody and I’ll gently say to them, ‘Get ready, an old man is about to pass you’” Though Greenberg is successful in his chosen sport, “There is no evidence in my home that I’m a triathlete,” he said. “But if you went into the garage, there’s all kinds of trophies and plaques and bicycles and running shoes.” It’s not a man cave, but rather a triathlete cave, he joked. His morning training is about mental relaxation, he said, but during a race he’s on high alert, “thinking about everything.” “I believe that to be a successful triathlete, you need to be pretty intelligent,” he said, “because there’s a whole host of things going on.” Transitioning from one leg of a race to the next — from swimming to cycling and from cycling to running — takes planning, forethought and practice.

“How fast you do that is part of the accumulated time,” Greenberg noted. During the race, he has to be mindful of his surroundings, too, whether it’s race markers — like buoys in the water that swimmers must make their way around — the athletes around him, or environmental factors — like water current during the swim and hills during the bike and run — all while pacing himself. “So it’s sort of a metronome in my head,” he explained. “Balancing this entire act throughout hours and hours of competition.” His race this weekend will take roughly three and a half hours.

Final preparation

On the morning of or the day before a race, he lays all the gear he’ll need out on the floor or on his bed — running and biking shoes, water, Gatorade, race number tag, socks, swimming goggles, bike helmet. It fills a backpack that he takes with him, weighing about 40 pounds. When a race is over, Greenberg feels a huge sense of accomplishment, especially because there are a multitude of obstacles that factor into triathlons — rain, cold water or high seas during the swimming leg, high temperatures like those predicted for this weekend in New York City, and bike

tires that go flat. “When I’m done, the first thing I’ll say — and I’m not ultra-religious — is, ‘Thank God,’” he said, adding that he is pleased when he knows he did the best he could. “I promise you I gave 110 percent out on that race course. And then I just kind of bathe in the satisfaction that it’s over. And I wait for the results.” During the coronavirus pandemic, “for almost two years,” Greenberg said, “I ran every day. But not having races to challenge you, to challenge your body, we all suffered (from) that.” Although he was in shape during the time without triathlons, he wasn’t in competitive shape. “2022 marks the 20th edition of the New York City Triathlon,” said Kimo Seymour, president of events at Life Time, the fitness conglomerate that produced the event, “and we are beyond excited to be back in full force.” “Next Sunday’s New York City Triathlon is kind of like the Super Bowl for me,” Greenberg said last week. “It’s my big hometown race. I put a lot of extra thought, a lot of extra effort into it. So I bought a couple of new pairs of goggles. I’ll take them out to the ocean today. I’ll try them on and select which one I’m going to use. So I’m meticulous about this stuff.”

Brooklyn woman arrested in North Lawrence with gun

News brief

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

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

After seeing a gray 2009 Mitsubishi with a broken taillight and a cracked windshield, a Nassau police officer stopped the motorist who was headed north on the Nassau Expressway in North Lawrence on July 18 near 8:10 p.m. During the subsequent investigation, the front passenger, Tashayla Ayres, 19, of Ralph Avenue, Brooklyn, was found to have a gun, police said. She was arrested and charged with criminal possession of a firearm. Issued an appearance ticket, Ayres next court date is Aug. 3 at First District Court in Hempstead. — Jeffrey Bessen

Approved housing plan angers residents lmargaria@liherald.com

By a 6 to 1 vote the Nassau County Planning Commission approved the proposed development of 17 singlefamily residential lots in a horseshoe-shaped parcel on Lawrence Woodmere Academy’s south end along West Broadway and Westwood Road in Woodmere on July 14. Lawrence Woodmere Academy, a non-sectarian private school in Woodmere, sold 2.69 acres of land on to Guy Friedman Realty Group, based in Hewlett, in 2018 for $2.5 million. The following year, the same realty group submitted a proposal for a three-story, 33-unit residential development to the Nassau County Planning Commission. The plan was recommended for denial on Sept. 5 by the eight-member board. A scaled-down version of the proposed development — which will be surrounded by residential units to the north, east and west and the Lawrence Woodmere Academy to the south — with zone-compliant lots was approved. Residents in the immediate area remain upset. Community members attended the Thursday a public hearing in Mineola to share their concerns about possible environmental harm and increased traffic resulting from the development. Their anger was exacerbated by the thought that they were notified too late the public hearing. The notice was in compliance with county charter, board officials said. Sylvia Brown, a resident for 45 years, learned when she first moved in that two neighbors had sons who were diagnosed with cancer. Last year, Brown’s own son was diagnosed with brain cancer. “The Woodmere Academy, years ago, was constantly spraying and dusting the fields to the point that I had to close the windows facing the school,” she said. “In later

years, what they were using was banned. Today, I have concerns that the clearing of the fields is bringing up contaminants that have been long buried.” Brown thinks that these chemicals could be linked to her and her neighbors' son’s cancer diagnosis. The realty group’s representative responded, stating that there were many soil samples sent to a laboratory, and detected chemicals “were only slightly out of kilter for residential standard. The Department of Health also signed off on the project plan.”

NASSAu CouNty PLANNING Commission approved Guy Friedman Realty Group’s proposed development of 17 single-family residential lots in a horseshoe-shaped parcel along West Broadway and Westwood Road in Woodmere.

Gail Walkover who also lives near the property, thinks that disturbing the soil is dangerous, comparing it to asbestos. “The moment you start digging or picking at it or peeling it, then you're dead,” she said. “And that's what they're doing right now. And that's where the kids are standing. They say well, because it's been remediated, it's safer than it ever was. Yeah, because it's all in their lungs now.” Walkover said she emailed the federal Department of Agriculture, but thought she was not notified early enough to contact the appropriate people. “The infrastructure cannot support what’s happening here,” Woodmere resident Allen Intretor said, referring to the narrow streets surrounding the property, the electricity, water and more. Intretor’s wife, Shaily, wants more paperwork from this project to be available to the public for viewing: “This was approved, that was approved — where's the proof ?” Both Intretors thought the late notice of the hearing was unfair and said that if they knew sooner, they would have brought lawyers. “They (Guy Friedman Realty Group) had five lawyers coming up. Seven experts. And (it felt like) we were not allowed to counter,” Shaily said. Walkover did not think they would approve the project, as 30 years ago the school was “trying to sell that land to the Sunrise Nursing Home people to build a nursing home slash rehabilitation center,” on that same property, Walkover said. “The only thing that saved the project (from happening)— that got rid of the nursing home, the fact that the federal government refused to allow migratory birds nesting sites to be taken away.” Have an opinion about land development in the Five Towns?

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

and environmental monitor for the Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor. Understanding what causes nitrogen buildups, and implementing methods of prevention can go a long way in protecting not only swimmers and shellfish-eaters, but also the sound itself. “Any efforts to reduce nitrogen help,” McAllister said, “from maintaining septic systems and cesspools so that they’re not leaking into the ground and making their way into the water ways, reducing or eliminating fertilizer use, picking up after your pet after they go to the bathroom outside, (and) upgrading treatment plants. “Any of those are going to be a benefit to reducing nitrogen from entering the waterways.”

Your very own circuit breakers

radually, unwittingly, we often overload our electrical systems at home until a circuit breaker pops due to the greater demands. It may begin with the purchase of a newer, more powerful computer. That computer necessitates having a state-ofthe art printer. Then, before you know it, you are the proud owner of a scanner, copier, fax and shredder. Of course, you already have task lighting, overhead lights, clock radio, speakers, electrical pencil sharpener, air-conditioner and a ceramic heater. You vaguely remember that the computer guy suggested that you install your computer on a separate electrical circuit. You promised yourself you would do that – someday. Yet, you put it off, because so far you haven’t noticed any major problems. Yes, at times the lights seem to be dimmer or the A/C runs less efficiently, but that doesn’t happen all the time. And besides, you hardly ever use more than a few of your machines at the same time. But as luck would have it, on the very evening that you are operating on a tight deadline, the room is suddenly pitched into total darkness. Your first

thought - the damn electrical company. You pray you haven’t lost too much data. Then you notice that lights are on in another part of the house. Could it be that a circuit breaker has popped? You find the flashlight and are pleased that its batteries are still working. You search for the popped switch on the electrical panel, flip the breaker back on and return to work. You’ve just settled in when pop, you’re in total inda darkness again. Too late. You forgot to turn off a few of the machines before you went back to work. Annoyed, you think, what a pain in the neck this circuit breaker is. Then you remember what a circuit breaker is designed to do. It’s a safety device to protect you from fire or damage to your appliances that would undoubtedly occur if you continued to operate on overload. As a result of its activation, you know that you need to make a change. Something must be removed from the overload if the elec-

trical current is to continue to flow safely. It seems to me that many of us need circuit breakers for the way we live our lives. If you’re living a harried, pressured, stressed life, you most likely have an overloaded circuit yourself. If you didn’t have so much to do, you wouldn’t be so stressed about the delivery being late. If you weren’t so stressed, you wouldn’t be so nervous about that upcoming event. apadin If you weren’t so nervous, you wouldn’t be so irritable with your partner’s inconsiderate remark. If you weren’t so irritable with your partner, you wouldn’t have this pounding headache? You get the picture? Too bad that we too don’t have circuit breakers built into our systems to alert us of our overload. Or, maybe we do, yet choose to ignore them? For isn’t chronic fatigue and stress a way your body is telling you, “Stop! You’re doing damage to me; treat me better or I won’t be able to function!”

Person to Person

Isn’t chronic worry and irritability a way your mind is telling you, “You can’t continue to live like this anymore; you must make a change!” Isn’t chronic arguing and negativity a way your relationship is telling you, “It’s not working. We need to find a better way to be with one another!” Gradually and unwittingly, many of us have overloaded our lives. Though we receive warning signals that alert us to the danger, often we ignore them, considering them a nuisance. Yet, we ignore them at our own peril. For warning signals, like circuit breakers, are designed to protect us from serious damage. Just attending to the immediate problem without changing how you live, is a way to do permanent damage to your mind, body and relationships. I hope you’re wise enough not to let that happen. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SD 1 election kerfuffle jbessen@liherald.com

As of press time, the results of the Sanitary District 1 election between Gabriel Boxer and Gwynette Campbell remain unofficial with Boxer leading Campbell 388 to 295 for the four-year term as a commissioner for the Town of Hempstead’s Sanitary District 1. On Wednesday, the parties went to court on the Microsoft Teams platform to resolve a number of issues ranging from determining if the manner used by SD 1 for issuing and reviewing absentee ballot applications and issuing and distributing those ballots was legal to deciding whether the counting of those absentee ballots should proceed. In addition, to determine whether the counting by SD 1 was accurate, ordering the sanitary district to certify the correct count and certify that Boxer won the election and granting other relief as decided by the court. Boxer previously told the Herald, "The court had to delay the proceedings due to serious irregularities with this election," regarding the originally scheduled July 14 hearing. "I'm confi-

dent that we won,!" he added. Cedarhurst-based lawyer Nat Swergold, representing SD 1 said, “The central issue is the absentee ballots. There are no irregularities.” Boxer is the CEO of both Kosher Response and the Leon Mayer Fund, non-profits based in Hewlett, and chairs Young Israel of Hewlett’s board of directors. Campbell served roughly one month on the board after being appointed to finish former Commissioner Lino Viola’s term. He retired in April. Campbell has served on the board of the Five Towns Community Center and is its current president. Incumbent Commissioner James Vilardi ran unopposed for the five-year term and received 552 votes. Vilardi, a Hewlett resident, was appointed to the board in 2005. His other board experience includes serving as commissioner on Nassau County Bridge Authority, Executive Director of Town-Village Aircraft Safety and Noise Abatement Committee, South Nassau/ Sinai advisory board chair. He is involved with the Five Towns Community Center and other food banks and Covid advocacy organizations.

Five Towns Chabad offers teens college credit The Five Towns Chabad is offering a college credit course for Jewish students from local public high schools. Israel might be the size of New Jersey, but it hogs a disproportionate amount of media attention. As a teen scrolling through Instagram, it is hard to ignore some of the anti-Israel sentiments. Is Israel and apartheid state? Are they oppressing innocent Palestinians? Do they overreact to terrorist attacks with baseless violence? “We want our teens to advocate confidently for our Jewish homeland,” says Rabbi Meir Geisinsky, director of the 5 Towns Cteen chapter. “But that doesn’t start with current events; it starts by going back thousands of years.” Teens of the Chabad 5 Towns CTeen chapter will gather weekly for 14 lessons covering everything from the ethics of the Israel Defense Forces to the origins of Jewish claims to the land. At the end of the course, each teen earns two college credits. “Israel and Me,” the new course launching in the fall semester is the

product of CTeen U, a collaboration between Yeshiva University and the Chabad teen network, CTeen International. CTeen is the world’s fastest growing network of Jewish teens, with over 630 chapters in 37 countries on six continents. The small group setting will allow the instructor to get to know each student and for the students to bond.“I know how busy teens are preparing for college—this is an opportunity for them to advance their resume and college career while studying the Torah’s timeless wisdom,” Geisinsky said. The college credits are accepted at most colleges around the country, including highly selective schools, state colleges, liberal arts colleges, public flagships, specialized programs and many more. The course is available to sophomores, juniors and seniors. Classes will meet for 14 weeks at Chabad of the 5 Towns, 74 Maple Ave., Cedarhurst the fall.

trator, his interest grew during his early years of teaching. “When I started teaching, the administration wasn’t exactly on my radar,” he said, “but then, you know, the more I got into it, the more I kind of got interested in the administrative side of it.” In 2016, Supple started taking online administration classes with the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, and completed his School Building Leader/ School District Leader Certificate a year and a half ago. “Luckily enough, the (athletic director) position opened up this year, and I was able to make the jump from teacher and coach to get into it.” Supple succeeds Brett Kornblum, who moved on to another district. “Anyone who has ever had the pleasure to work alongside, be coached, or taught by Jason knows what (an) outstanding individual he is, I certainly do,” Lawrence Superintendent Ann Pedersen wrote in an email. “The Board of Education and I are thrilled that he will be continuing to apply his professional talents here in this well-deserved new role.” As athletic director, Supple will supervise all gym teachers and coaches, physical education facilities and equipment, sports team and their transportation, he explained. He will also make sure the schools hire good coaches and gym teachers that will “build relationships with kids,” he said, “and basically keep our program thriving and moving in the right direction.” Though he is grateful for the promotion and looking forward to the job, he said, he no longer teach physical education and will have to give up coaching,

his longtime passion. “It was not an easy decision to walk away from that,” he said, adding that though the decision was bittersweet, it was right for he and his family — his wife Elizabeth, daughter Emma, 4, and son Jackson, 2 — as well as LHS district students. “In this position, I can do a lot of good for a lot of them,” he said. On May 12, the varsity softball team took on Valley Stream Central High School, a rival squad. Supple guided the Golden Tornadoes to a 4-1 win on what turned out to be his last day as a coach. “It was a good way to go out, and it was my last memory coaching,” he said. “It was a positive one.” Of his promotion to athletic director, Supple said, “I don’t want to be corny and say it’s a dream come true, but it’s definitely a goal I’ve been working towards. “I’m thrilled to be able to do the job. I think I can make a difference in a lot of kids’ lives. I think it’s important for the students in the district to have a positive role model — for athletes to have somebody positive to look up to. I think I can provide that for them. I think I’ve been (that role model) as a coach, and I think I’ll continue to do that as an administrator.” Robinson said he believes that Supple will excel in his new role. “I think he’s going to do great, and I think he really represents what Lawrence pride is supposed to be,” Robinson said, referring to Supple as a “Lawrence lifer” because he has grown in the district, but not out of it. “My goal for any athlete in this program is for them to succeed on the field and in the classroom,” Supple said. “It’s our job to put them on the right track while they’re with us.”

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

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

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

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

Yeshiva Kol Torah on Bayswater Boulevard in Inwood celebrated its first year serving the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. It is said to offer dynamic rabbis in “an energetic atmosphere,” while retaining its pragmatism through its theological roots. Rabbi Dovid Opoczynski, the yeshiva’s principal and ninth grade rabbi, along with Rabbi Boruch Wasser, spoke with Herald to discuss Yeshiva Kol Torah’s success and its future. “The basic mission statement of the school is to produce well-rounded educated students, both in Judaic and secular studies,” Wasser said. “Our students will have a passion and love for learning and religious observance. They will be prepared to take on the world when they graduate and be ready to continue their religious studies or in secular studies.” He added that there is a need for a school of this nature within the community, saying that a portion of the local Orthodox Jewish community contacted the rabbis about creating such a school. “It was unanimous that there was a definite need for another school, and if it was done right the school had a tremendous chance of being successful,” Wasser said. The school’s values would not be watered down, Opoczynski said. “We’re

The school day runs from 7:40 a.m. to 8:15 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday with dinner from 6:30 to 7:15 p.m. On Wednesday the school day ends at 6:30 p.m. Friday is a school day with dismissal for Shabbos. Most hours are dedicated to Jewish studies and prayer. Roughly four hours are provided for general studies in math, the sciences, history and electives. Opoczynski stressed the notion of true accomplishment by raising the standards. Wasser complemented his mantra by saying, “We’re trying to build these boys into the greatest characters they can be morally, ethically, religiously and educationally.”

Future plans

They plan to have freshmen and sophomore classes for the next school year. The rabbis also aim to include a full high school curriculum including Advanced Placement courses for juniors and seniors. More staff will be hired to increase course offering, “to push [the boys] to their max,” Wasser said. There are plans to host advanced or honor studies for the Judaic courses and the secular courses. A foreign language class will also be included to meet the state Regents requirements. “We had in our first year about 40 applicants,” Wasser said. “Our second year, we just had about 60 applicants. We took a little less than half — about 25 students. We ended up with 19 enrolls.” To supplement the existing space for the expanding school, trailers will be used during the coming school year. To earn admission to Yeshiva Kol Torah potential students are given an entrance exam, a general studies test

Rabbi DoviD opoczynski taught ninth-graders the Talmud during the first year of Yeshiva Kol Torah. including an interview, and an oral Judaic studies test. If the boy meets the criteria and the rabbis think the student would benefit from the education then they are admitted. “We’re trying to create high academic standards, high moral standards, religious standards that the parents wanted and were looking for,” Wasser said, “that’s how we ended up with the quality of students we have.” The school also endeavors to use student-based initiatives. “Project Disconnect” has students going off all internet-connected devices. The boys are then rewarded with trips and restaurant dinners, to name a few incen-

tives. “We don’t feel that students will excel academically if they’re on all their social media and devices,” Opoczynski said. “So it really separates the type of boy and family that we’re looking to service.” Physical activity remains an integral part of the school day. The yeshiva has an intramural league that it is looking to expand and possibly engage with other schools. “We feel it’s crucial that the boys have these outlets,” Wasser said. “The league is a tremendous way to build pride in the school to build themselves, especially [the] way we feel technology is so damaging to students, and it’s so pervasive.” Money is not an obstacle to admission with more than half the students on scholarships. The community has been the driving force for the program’s success. “We don’t turn anyone down for financial reasons,” Wasser said. “We purely take them based on their acceptance standards.” Wasser said the goal is for the students to “uphold themselves in the appropriate manner, to treat others in an appropriate manner,” and “to be something which people look at” and say “that’s the way [a] person should act.” Rabbi Opoczynski said, “We give them a great time and they really appreciate that, and there’s a very, very strong sense of brother and camaraderie over there. Everyone’s proud to belong to the school. There’s a certain pride and it’s expanded to the community.” “Even our success in year one was from the fact that every boy from top to bottom was excited and happy to be part of the school,” Wasser said. “They would leave school wanting to come back the next day and come back happy.”

Ask The Architect

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

opinions

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

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

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

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

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

We are drifting so far from the founders’ ideals

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

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

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

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

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

Films we thank for LIIFE as we know it

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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