SOUTH SIDE SCORED a pair of late goals to defeat East Islip, 2-1, in last Saturday’s Long Island Class A girls’ soccer championship game at Shoreham-Wading River High School. vided the difference by converting her own rebound from close range with 3:58 remaining in last Saturday’s L.I. Class A title game/Southeast Regional Final before a packed crowd at Shoreham-Wading River High School. Junior Maggie Colvin orchestrated the crossing pass that led to the winning goal.

The Cyclones (13-3-2) now head to Cortland in search of their first state crown since 2012, and will face Spencerport in Saturday’s 5:30 p.m. semifinal at Tompkins Cortland Community College, with a spot in Sunday’s 3 p.m. championship game up for grabs. “It’s amazing to be going to states,” Pennecke said. “I saw

Maggie’s cross, and after it bounced off the goalie, it came right back to me. I hit it and saw it go into the back of the net. It’s definitely the biggest goal of my life.” The equalizer, which came just over two minutes after East Islip’s Kate Alexander broke a scoreless tie on a penalty kick, was the first of Char-

ley Doreste’s life at any level of soccer. One of South Side’s three sophomore starting defenders, Doreste got the nod from coach Judi Croutier to take a free kick from 20 yards, and she delivered by drilling home the tying goal. “I was surprised at the opportunity, because I don’t CONTINUED ON PAGE 15

WWII vet celebrates his 100th birthday with Legion By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

Herbert Rosenberg, a World War II veteran and prison camp survivor, was honored on his 100th birthday last Saturday at his Cleveland Avenue home, on the Rockville Centre-Oceanside border, by his family, friends and fellow American Legion post members. Forming a parade, Rockville Centre firefighters, Nassau County police and veterans drive by his home for a salute to Rosenberg. Rosenberg was drafted into the Army in 1942 when he was 20, and he worked his way up to the rank of staff sergeant,

becoming a right waist gunner on a B-17 bomber. In 1944, his aircraft “Punchboard,” part of the 452nd Bombardment Group, was shot down by German fighters during a mission over Poznan, Poland, and crashed in Nazioccupied Denmark. The crew members were captured immediately and sent to the Stalag Luft 17 prison camp. During the procession of firetrucks, police cars and motorcycles, Rosenberg teared up. Attendees also sang “God Bless America” and “Happy Birthday” to him. A World War II Jeep and truck brought up the rear of the procession. “It’s very emotional,” Herb’s

son, Bob Rosenberg, said. “For many years growing up, he never spoke about his experiences, and it was only after the past 20 years or so that he opened up about it.” The Rosenberg extended family celebrated a Thanksgiving dinner after the ceremonies, since it was one of the first times during the pandemic when they could all be together. They were extremely careful around Herb, donning masks in close proximity to him to keep him safe. Frank Colon, commander of Rockville Centre American Legion Post 303, helped organize the event for his neighbor and fellow post member. He also

spoke about the many remarkable experiences of just listening to Rosenberg’s story. “He’s an inspiration,” Colon said. “He’s like a treasure chest of history of this country, which we need to continue.” A 48-star flag, hung over the porch of Rosenberg’s house, was originally to be used for a planned parade for the 75th anni-

versary of the end of World War II, before the pandemic forced it to be canceled. Rosenberg was to be an honoree at that parade. “I’m in tears,” Rosenberg said. “I never expected anything like this. I hear ‘thank you for your service’ all the time, but being here with family and neighbors, I break down and cry CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Forum focused on superintendent search

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — November 11, 2021

By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

A few dozen Rockville Centre residents spent Monday night giving feedback to representatives from School Leadership LLC in their search for a new superintendent after June Chang announced his departure, effective Nov. 19. The meeting continued the early steps in the search, gathering information through a survey and at in-person meetings to identify the personal and professional qualities and experiences that parents desire in the new leader of the school district. School Leadership LLC representatives Dr. Kathy Weiss and Dr. Frank Chiachiere led the discussion on Monday night in the South Side High School auditorium. Members of the Board of Education were not in attendance, but according to the two search firm repLAURA GILLEN resentatives, they will be fully briefed on the responses. Both former Town Weiss and Chiachiere have Supervisor and extensive experience with RVC parent searches like this one. The firm is currently engaged in two other searches in New York and touted that 96 percent of the candidates they choose go on to be extended after the end of their three-year deal. On the night, parents agreed that the next superintendent should be able to make collaborative decisions and be able to admit their blind spots. One of the consistent worries was that declining rankings in the state could push real estate values down, causing a few audience members to call for an increased focus on improving test scores. Others were more focused on making the district as welcoming a place to everyone as possible. The RVC Diversity and Inclusion Council also sent members of the school board a letter outlining their priorities for the next superintendent. “We feel it is imperative our new superintendent possess a strong commitment to a multicultural and inclusive education for all students,” the letter reads. Among the policy suggestions in the letter is an

here is some community healing that needs to happen here.

DR. KATHY WEISS and Dr. Frank Chiachiere led a forum to gather feedback on hiring a new superintendent of schools in the South Side High School auditorium on Monday. emphesis on diversifying the faculty further, reviewing and updating the curriculum, making anti-bias training mandatory for teachers and administrators, ensuring that discipline is doled out equitably along racial lines, and adopting an inclusivity model for classroom and school-sponsored events. Laura Gillen, former Town of Hempstead supervisor, has two children in the school district and gave her feedback on what she wants in a candidate and the early results from the search firm. “I think we need a really strong leader,” Gillen said. “There’s a lot of challenges. We’re still dealing with the aftermath of Covid, you have mental health challenges and there is some community healing that

needs to happen here.” Gillen added that she was pleased with the community involvement through the meeting and online survey in the early stages of the search. The online survey sent out to parents over the past couple of weeks, which is due by Nov. 15, asked them what job experiences they hoped the candidates would have and what the single most important quality they think the next superintendent should possess. The next step in the search is expected to come during the Dec. 9 school board meeting, where the board is anticipated to approve the specifications for the new superintendent based on feedback and guidance from the firm.

RVC urgent care leader named to board of directors Rockville Centre-based Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care announced that Lead Advanced Practitioner Jackie McDevitt has been elected to the board of directors of the Urgent Care Association. As a director, McDevitt will help govern UCA, an organization of leaders, providers and suppliers in the field of on-demand, consumer-focused healthcare. In her role at Northwell HealthGoHealth Urgent Care, McDevitt helps oversee the network’s urgent care centers and its virtual platform in New York. An industry leader, McDevitt has been instrumental to Nor thwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care’s Covid-

19 strategic planning. She has been a driving force in the center’s antibiotic stewardship initiatives and in triageprocess streamlining, team-member training, workflow efficiencies and tele-health launch and oversight. She has also implemented skills workshops, staffing model modifications and student-rotation coordination. “Jackie McDevitt is one of the best examples of servant leadership that I have ever encountered in my career,” said Dr. Neal Shipley, the medical director for Northwell Health GoHealth Urgent Care, according to a news release. “She inspires others to improve themselves at every opportunity. John Quincy Adams once said, ‘If

your actions inspire people to dream more, lear n more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.’ That is Jackie in a nutshell. McDevitt said she was pleased to be appointed. “I am honored to serve on the board of directors of Urgent Care Association,” she said. “As the scope of urgent-care medicine rapidly evolves, I am proud to help ensure that practitioners provide the very best care for our communities.”

Stress less, enjoy more Holidays and kids with special needs

ven the most well-adjusted and well-balanced child can get "frazzled" during holiday time. For a child with special needs, the frazzle point can be reached sooner. The fast pace, the noise, the disruption in a regular schedule can add up to too much stimulation. But help is at hand. Planning ahead will make sure that all members of the family enjoy the holiday season and can ward off the possibility of wear and tear. Here are some tips: Prepare in advance Discuss the event you're planning to attend; where it will be, how you're going to get there, who will be there, so that the child will know what to expect and won't have to deal with surprises. If you're having people at your home, set up a safe place for your child to go to if he needs to cool down.

an issue of special clothes if your child feels comfortable in jeans. Don't set up behavioral rules in advance, such as "be sure you shake hands with Uncle ..." Bring activities Bring along some of your child's favorite things - a book, a game - to provide her with a sense of familiarity and allow her to retreat if things become overly stimulating. Plan carefully Avoid attending too many festivities, and allow some cool-down time between events. Organize your schedule with your child's individual temperament in mind; each child's tolerance for stimulation and ability to adapt vary. Give the child a warning before the end of an activity, which gives her a chance to readjust at her own pace.

Set time limits If you're planning to be at a party or gathering or restaurant, set a reasonable time limit and stick to it.

Monitor your child If your child is part of a group of children, watch their interaction so that you can intervene if necessary or if things are getting out of hand.

Pick your battles Don't add to the stress level by expecting your child to look perfect or to behave perfectly. For example: Don't make

Stay calm Your kids will echo your mood. Praise your child. And remember to reward good behavior. ■

Courtesy of NYU Child Study Center. Above photo: To fully enjoy the festive season, we can all benefit by being flexible with our definition of what a holiday should look like. Our childhood traditions and rituals may not work for everyone — and every child. Let’s create new memories and newly define what holidays look like for our own families.

a little bit.” “We all suffered,” Rosenberg said. “I lost three years of my life in the service and as a prisoner of war, but I’m happy now. I’m here with my friends, neighbors and family, and I can’t ask for more.” A Queens native, Rosenberg spent 15 months in harsh conditions at the camp before German guards abandoned all prisoners in a forest near the camp, where they were eventually rescued by American soldiers and returned home. After retur ning stateside, Rosenberg attended pharmacy school, married his wife, Barbara, and settled in the area in the mid-1950s. He opened a pharmacy in East Rockaway. In 2016, Rosenberg was awarded a prisoner of war medal from the Department of Defense recognizing his survival in the camp as a Jewish-American soldier. Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray and trustees Katie Conlon and Emilio Grillo presented Rosenberg with a village proclamation thanking him for his service.

BRINGING LOCAL SPORTS HOME EVERY WEEK

HERALD SPORTS South Side falls to Floral Park in playoffs By JAMIE DEJONG sports@liherald.com

South Side’s football season ended in unfortunate fashion last Saturday, when it lost to visiting Floral Park 7-0 in the first round of the Nassau Conference III playoffs. After the game, South Side head coach Phil Onesto was disappointed in the result but was mostly just sympathetic to the seniors. “The seniors we had this year were terrific all season long so I do feel terrible for them,” Onesto said. “Floral Park did a great job today so congrats to them.” For the Cyclones, their Achilles heel was not converting redzone opportunities into points. The offense got into the red zone at three different junctures, yet in each instance, they were stopped on different fourth down attempts. Between the 20s, the Cyclones did establish a multi-faceted rushing approach. Senior Matt Solano led them with 70 rushing yards, with many of his tough runs coming on hard-fought, thirddown conversions. He also had a few nice deflections at cornerback to stagnate Floral Park’s offense. Matt Lozito also had 64 rushing yards on the same number of carries, including a 30-yard burst where he evaded a handful of unfruitful arm tackles. The Cyclones’ passing game helped them sustain drives, including an impressive first half hook and ladder completion, where senior Owen West threw a screen pass to his brother Brady, who then promptly lateraled to Jack Lozito for a gain of nearly 30 yards. However, they did not maintain the same potency when they got in the red zone. Quarterback Owen West finished with 67 yards passing on the afternoon. Brady West had 3 receptions throughout the game. The Cyclones’ defensive unit held its’ own for the most part. Floral Park scored on its initial drive, but from there, the hosts pitched a shutout. The unit gave the offense ample opportunities, primarily due to their sharp third down and fourth down defense. They snuffed Floral Park on a fourth down running attempt in the first half and forced two punts in the second half. Sophomore Bobby Galindo had a third down sack to force one of these punts. Michael Melkonian and Matt Solano played suffocating coverage on a third down out route, which instigated the other punt. Onesto believes the loss could serve as a growing opportunity for the players who return next season. “Luckily, we have a lot of underclassmen and guys coming back next year, so we’ll look at the tape of this one and I’m very excited for what next year holds,” he said. South Side finished with a 4-5 record.

SOPHOMORE BOBBY GALINDO was a steady force on the offensive front for the Cyclones, who were knocked off by Floral Park in last Saturday’s playoff game.

Soccer pop-pop and Noah’s Arc his team play. From the sidelines (so close to the field that I spent most of the game praying the ball wouldn’t come near me) I sat in a beach chair (from which getting up was yet another sport unto itself) along with his parents, his siblings, Eliana and Ezra, his nana and his Waldman grandparents. We were joined by a variety of parents (and grandparents) many of whom, based on the directions, instructions, orders, commands, guidance and directives hurled onto the field, must have been either a retired soccer coach or a Marine drill sergeant. Anyw ay, t h e k i d s j o y f u l l y on ignored the advice, as their reams with such p.c. names a s Ro cke t s, D r a g o n s, Earthyquake and Hurricane, took the field with enthusiasm. Our Noah’s team was called Force, which I at first thought meant all members were “forced” to join, but I soon learned that each boy and girl loved being part of the team and loved playing the game. I watched as Noah learned sportsmanship, including caring for, and about, injured players on both team. I

Watched him develop confidence and an increasingly positive self-image. Whether, successfully playing defense or offense or being a goalie (and wearing the converted green goalie gloves) he was clearly learning trust in his teammates, faith in himself, selfreliance and self-control. With every game, he was demonstrating an understanding of teamwork and the courage to run with the ball and charge ahead. He was mastering the skill of strategy and decision-making; of knowing when to pass and when to shoot, when to kick and when to throw; and experiencing the thrill of being the star as well as the satisfaction oldman of letting the next guy (or gal) shine. Watching him race back and forth was watching a little boy being transformed into a young man; watching someone realize that he was part of an effort bigger than himself as others relied on him to share his individuality with the group as the group worked collectively to highlight his individuality. Yup, on that soccer field, our Noah was not only learning, he was teaching: teaching that team sports played right,

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — November 11, 2021

I’ve always been a good sport , but never, ever a natural (or even unnatural) athlete. As a k9d I may have had athlete’s foot, but never boasted the foot (or arm) of an athlete. Even as a parent, I could only (accurately) announce that my children already exceeded my athletic prowess the day they learned to walk. Indeed my four kids (and wife) between them, eventually excelled in basketball, field hockey, ice hockey, flag football, dodgeball, volleyball, tennis, swimming, running, boogieboarding, ice skating, skateboarding and even rugby. Meanwhile, I pursued the “contact” sports of chess, debating and politics. Actually, in high school, I did, briefly, (try to) play soccer, having previously only challenged my sister to a game where I would “sock her.” Living in Manhattan, we practiced in Central Park where we trained by running through the park which, in the 1960s, helped us outrun the muggers. (Itself a sports of sorts). Eventually, I was kicked off (pun intended) the team for allowing a 200-pound-plus monster to get around rather than through my 101-pound frame and score three (or maybe it was four) times. Anyway, that was it for me and soccer until this past year when our 10-year-old grandson, Noah, emerged as a soccer star and invited me to watch him and

Cyclones win L.I. crown in thrilling fashion really take free kicks,” Doreste said. “I’ve never scored before, so it’s pretty crazy. I saw the wall they set up was shifting, and it gave me more room on the right side. I didn’t even see the goalie. But I knew exactly where I wanted to place it, and when it went in, it really switched the mood of the game.” Croutier said it was a “gut feeling” to have Doreste take the momentum-changing shot. “Sometimes come playoff time you have to try some different things,” Croutier said. “As a coaching staff, we’ve talked about having Charley step up for a free kick, and it turned out to be the perfect time.” Goalkeeper Avery Testa, one of South Side’s six starting sophomores, made three saves in front of an airtight defense spearheaded by Doreste, Christina LiCalzi, Kayla Hubler and Morgan Harloff. East Islip keeper Izzy Kelly made six saves. “I’m so proud of our team,” LiCalzi

said. “We’ve been through a lot. We had a rough stretch in the middle of the season, but I think the losses only made us stronger. “We always find a way to pick each other up,” she added. “It’s exciting to be Long Island champs and put the program back on the map.” The Cyclones were four days removed from capturing their second straight Nassau Class A title and the 28th in program history, beating Manhasset 2-0 on Nov. 2. Last spring their season ended with the county crown, because the pandemic led to a decision not to play regional or state championships. In her first stint as South Side’s coach before returning this fall, Croutier led the squad to eight county and L.I. titles as well as five state crowns, the last in 2009. “I’m so happy for the girls and the entire program,” she said. “Going upstate is special and we’re looking forward to it.”

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show structural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.

Ask The Architect

You need the whole story without the sales onte eeper part. Just like any purchase, issues you might not expect are still important, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultraviolet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced many issues with their construction.

PIPING & HEATING CORP. $

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful.

Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move. This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time. We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the specific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up. I looked at a two-year-old system while discussing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way. You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater. Good luck. © 2021 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

OPINIONS

t’s rare that you get the chance to meet your professional heroes, so when one of mine, former Newsday environmental reporter Dan Fagin, now the director of NYU’s graduate Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program, recently came to Hofstra University to give an hourlong talk on his seminal book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation,” I had to attend. His 462-page masterwork, published by Bantam, recounts the decades-long history of industrialSCOTT waste mismanagement and malfeaBRINTON sance in Toms River, N.J., a seaside community of about 94,000 an hour and a half south of New York City. I read the book shortly after it was published in 2014, and ever since, I had hoped to meet Fagin, now 58, of Sea Cliff. Toms River is known for its high rate of childhood cancers, in particular leukemia among girls under 5, from the early 1970s through the 2000s. Government reports attribute the spike, at least in part, to the “public health hazards” posed by widespread soil and water contamination at a now-closed Ciba-Geigy chemical plant and a massive,

illegal toxic-waste dump at Reich Farm, which has been cleaned up, but only came under consideration for removal from the federal Superfund Site list this year. Both the plant and the dump tainted local drinkingwater wells, according to the New Jersey Department of Health. In “Toms River,” Fagin details the sordid events that spread a witch’s brew of carcinogens among the good people of this otherwise safe community, which has a reputation for patriotism, a vibrant civic culture and a deep love of Little League baseball. Toms River reminds me of so many Long Island coastal communities — earnest, hard-working, conservativeleaning but not extreme in its political views, inhabited by professionals and bluecollar workers alike. And, as is the case in more than one Long Island community, innocent residents there were forced to cope with an industrial disaster not of their making. From 2001 to 2005, I reported on Freeport Power Plant No. 2, which for three decades had spewed unfiltered exhaust from its two 13,000-horsepower diesel ship engines into surrounding communities. I walked door to door in the neighborhoods around the plant, asking people whether someone in their homes had had or died of cancer, or whether they knew of any local people stricken by

the disease. In house after house in the Old Lindenmere neighborhood of Merrick, people reported that someone — or multiple people — in their homes had battled cancer or died from it, with many afflicted at young ages. In one case, an entire family of four had succumbed to unusual cancers. I could never call the neighborhood a “cancer cluster,” a designation that required confirmation through years of study to determine whether the cancer cases people reported were a random pattern — an accident of nature, if you will — or were tied to an industrial pollutant such as diesel exhaust, found by scientists to be among the most carcinogenic substances in the world. I worried about my reporting: Was I unnecessarily scaring people? Once I had begun, however, I quickly realized I couldn’t stop until the plant was shut down. Otherwise, residents would have lived in constant fear, and many potential homebuyers might have avoided the area, depressing housing prices. I wrote 44 stories, and thanks largely to then State Sen. Charles Fuschillo Jr., Long Island Power Authority Chairman Richard Kessel, and Merrick civic activists Joe Kralovich and Bob Young, the plant was closed in March 2002 and replaced in September 2005 by a clean-burning natural-gas

hen it comes to health crises, it’s not that far from Toms River, N.J., to Freeport.

plant that included pollution controls. The old plant, grandfathered from the Clean Air Act of 1970 because it was completed in 1969, had none. I had a question for Fagin: Should journalists pursue such stories through anecdotal reporting, despite the lack of an official cancer-cluster designation? I was heartened by his answer: Journalists mustn’t ignore such stories. We must be honest with our audiences about “the lack of evidence” — that is, the dearth of state and federal data to back people’s assertions — but we should press forward. Whew! I was hoping he’d say that. Two decades later, I know that pursuing the power plant story was the right thing to do. On Oct. 22, 2001, I snapped a photo of 9-year-old Tyler Seaman, of Old Lindenmere, clutching two candles at a vigil outside a state public hearing over Plant No. 2’s operating permit. The photo appeared on the front page of the Oct. 25-Oct. 31 Merrick and Bellmore Heralds, and I included Tyler’s comments from the hearing in the story. “I am afraid every day that I will not see another day,” he said. In 2006, Tyler learned he had chordoma, a rare bone cancer that lodges at the base of the skull or in the spine. He died in 2010, at 18.

To sleep, perchance to pop awake again

n my hopeful search for common ground between the political and cultural forces of the far right and the far left, I have pretty much come up empty. Until now. After much consideration and not that much scientific research (since so many people don’t believe in it anyway), I realize that what many of us have in common is sleeplessness. I generally don’t ask friends how they sleep, but more and more often, someone mentions that their sleep has RANDI changed during KREISS and post-pandemic, if we even are “post,” which is part of the problem. I imagine that folks on the right are up at night worrying about the big money the Dems want to spend. Some tell me they think that, if the Build Back Better bills pass, the money will be mismanaged or disappear into a maze of inefficient government programs. I hear fears that undeserving people will get a “free ride” and others will have to pay their tab. They think about President Biden’s age and

wonder if he can lead us in the world. Who will pay for it all? they ask. Some Republicans resist vaccine mandates and mask mandates, believing their civil liberties are being violated. They stay up at night worrying about what their kids are being taught in school. Yeah, it’s enough to keep you tossing and turning. I know what folk on the left are thinking, because that’s where I stand, although I am losing patience with the far left and finding myself drifting to the center. No wonder we can’t sleep: We’re all floating. I worry that resistance to Covid vaccine mandates will perpetuate a chronic pandemic, unleashing unknowable variants. I think the Dems, addicted to infighting, will lose a one-time opportunity to pass legislation this session that would truly help people with child care and elder care and medical coverage. Here is the chance to repair roads and bridges and outdated schools. The Dems have failed miserably in communicating the good stuff in these bills, while perseverating publicly on everything that will be left out of a compromise package. I so believe in what they’re doing, but their message isn’t reso-

nating with voters. One commentator advised the Dems to stop giving us the detailed recipe for what you’re baking and let us taste the brownies! The other stuff I worry about is, oh, basic things like no one can agree on facts or the truth or whether or not John F. Kennedy Jr. is really dead or when the last election will be overthrown. We haven’t even touched on gender rights and racial equality and climate change, and why anti-Semitism is surging across America. Last night I lay awake thinking about the fact that hundreds of QAnon followers gathered in Dallas last week to greet JFK Jr., who has been dead since 1999. They believed that he would appear and help Donald Trump become president again. How can you sleep when this kind of aberrational thinking is gaining traction? So, can we agree that wherever we sit on the political and cultural spectrum, our worries are keeping us up at night? In the world of sleep science, five major disorders are recognized: insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, narcolepsy and REM sleep disorder. I am describing

o matter your politics, it seems, you’ve got plenty to worry about.

something new that blossomed with the pandemic and now feels as chronic as the uncertainty with which we live. Back in 2020, once I realized that Covid19 would not be a two- or three-week sprint, my sleep changed. I would fall asleep because I was emotionally exhausted and then I would pop awake, and this would go on for hours. When I woke in the morning, my heart would be racing. I’ve learned some breathing techniques and other ways to talk myself down and relax. But I don’t sleep as peacefully as I once did. When I pop awake these days, I read a boring science article or an underwhelming book. No middle-of-the-night crosswords, bridge, Words With Friends or checking out the morning newspapers. Eventually, I sleep. So, for my friends worried about Biden and his programs, and my friends worried about the insurrection of Jan. 6 and the resurrection of a former president, watch your alcohol, caffeine and nicotine intake in the evening, get into a regular bedtime routine, exercise during the day, and if you pop awake, read or do some other quiet activity until you feel sleepy. See a doctor if symptoms persist, or if you think you saw John Junior on the grassy knoll last week. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Keep the Board of Education transparent

“

hat are they trying to hide?” That was the question we were left wondering after last week’s Rockville Centre Board of Education work session, when board President John O’Shea, Vice President Christine Ferazani and Trustee Erica Messier raised the possibility of eliminating the video recording of the board’s work sessions going forward. Work sessions are where many of the board’s policies are proposed, deliberated and enacted. They occur monthly, in between the board’s regularly scheduled meetings, and the public is always welcome to attend. The board began recording (and livestreaming) its work sessions at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, when the sessions were moved from the administration building’s technologically antiquated boardroom to the high school’s common room. The move was necessary to provide additional t r a n s p a r e n cy t o t h e c o m m u n i t y, because the district was one of the last on Long Island to make all of its meetings and sessions accessible via recordings. Better late than never. Now the board is considering moving the work sessions back to the boardroom, where recording isn’t currently possible. The main reason stated for the

LETTERS RVC Teachers’ Union president’s actions were shameful To the Editor: I am writing in response to the article “Rockville Centre Teachers’ Association president takes aim at school board” (Nov. 4-10), and having watched the YouTube video of the embarrassing attack by union President Frank Van Zant on our duly elected board President John O’Shea and other board members. In my 53 years of regularly attending school board meetings, I have never witnessed such an arrogant and offensive presentation by a union leader. If his students spoke to him in the way he spoke to the school board, they would be suspended. Van Zant owes the school board an apology for his personal attack, which was cheered on by other teachers in the audience. I support and applaud the school

potential move was, in fact, the very inability to record the meetings, because the trustees don’t like feeling as if they are “in a fishbowl,” with the public watching. Such a move would only reduce transparency. Given Covid19 safety concerns, parents’ and students’ demanding schedules and the ease and affordability of recording these sessions, we don’t believe that only offering the public an in-person viewing option is adequate. Of course, we understand that trustees must sometimes have uncomfortable or sensitive conversations, and that they would be less uncomfortable were they not subject to public scrutiny. But the public’s right to know far outweighs any discomfort a board member might feel, as an elected official who ran for public office, with full knowledge of what that entails. And when there truly is a sensitive topic to discuss — a personnel issue, for example — there is already a privacy-preserving option in place: The board can call an executive session, away from public view. We must remind the members of the board’s majority voting bloc that they campaigned on the need for drastically increased board transparency; yet, now in power, they are the ones considering eliminating the recordings of many of their sessions. We’re glad that they

showed some restraint by not making a final decision at last week’s work session. The topic is scheduled to be on the agenda at their next meeting, next Tuesday. We hope that by then, community members will have made it known to the trustees that they appreciate the additional transparency of recorded meetings. There is no doubt that this is a fraught moment for the village. The future of one of the country’s great school districts hangs in the balance. Parents are divided over masking, critical race theory and soccer coaches. The Rockville Centre Teachers’ Association is feuding with what union President Frank Van Zant calls the “tin-pot dictatorship” of the board’s majority voting bloc. And all of this is happening as the district begins the search for a new superintendent to replace June Chang, who resigned in August after just 13 months on the job. With so many important and divisive issues at hand, it is more critical than ever for parents and taxpayers to be as fully informed as possible about those issues, and where their elected officials stand on them. The public deserves to know. We see no compelling reason for the board to limit transparency, and we urge its members not to eliminate the video recording of any of its meetings or work sessions.

OPINIONS

f Election Day 2021 proved anything, it’s that Long Island voters shouldn’t be taken for granted. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran had been told by pollsters, Democratic Party leaders and pundits that she had this. She had attended all the civic meetings, street fairs and news conferences. She was approachable, engaged and empathic. And she spent four years raising campaign cash with the intent of spending all of it to ensure no surprises on election night. RONALD J. What she didn’t hear was the palpaROSENBERG ble anger of homeowners whose property assessments are still way out of whack. Nor could she avoid being on the same ballot with a Democratic district attorney candidate who co-sponsored the state’s bail bill that puts criminals back on the street before the arresting police can return to their patrol cars. For Curran, standing next to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky was more than minor collateral damage. Nor could she control what appears to

be an anemic county Democratic organization that is long on strategic analysis, but short on the ability to get its own supporters out to vote. The Republican candidate, Bruce Blakeman, astutely declined to follow the traditional tactics of a campaign “underdog.” He didn’t attack the incumbent. On any number of occasions, he told audiences that “she is undoubtedly a nice person.” But Blakeman would then methodically examine the policy failings of the Curran administration and let the facts speak for themselves. The voters heard, and responded. Blakeman had a crucial partner: Nassau GOP Chairman Joseph G. Cairo Jr. Quiet, reserved and a veteran of countless election nights, Cairo has the unique ability to intuitively spot political trends, recruit candidates who resonate with voters and, perhaps most important, pay attention to the grassroots mechanics of motivating voters to leave their homes on chilly, rainy November nights and head to the polls. While much coverage has been devoted to Blakeman’s victory, Cairo’s political professionalism reached beyond that single election-night win. North Hempstead,

A glance at NYC’s subway past To the Editor: On Oct. 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line. It ran nine miles uptown from City Hall on Manhattan’s East Side, across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square, and uptown to 145th Street. It included 28 stations. More than 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare. The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit — today’s B, D, J, M, N, Q, R and Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Franklin Avenue and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector, with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability depended entirely on farebox revenues. These systems supported both the development and the economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and

a generational Democratic enclave, went Republican, too, with Jennifer DeSena beating Wayne Wink in the race for town supervisor — no small feat given Wink’s longstanding political presence in that township and overwhelming Democratic enrollment. Cairo also knows his political history. He saw how the Nassau County Republican Party of the late 1940s reinvented itself when Long island suburbs became home to Italians, Jews and Irish seeking a place for their families in communities across post-war Long Island. Those ethnicities became the next-generation Republicans. So, it’s no surprise that Cairo nominated Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, a first-time candidate from Great Neck, to run against incumbent Democratic County Legislator Ellen Birnbaum in the 10th District, with Pilip declaring victory last Tuesday night. And just who is this person that Cairo entrusted with this race? Pilip was born in Ethiopia, moved to Israel at age 12, and became an Israel Defense Forces paratrooper and a gunsmith before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy from the University of Haifa and

a master’s in diplomacy and security from Tel Aviv University. The ability to motivate Republican voters to make their voices heard has put two other Democratic Nassau legislative incumbents at risk, with Republican Paolo Pironi ahead of self-proclaimed “independent” Joshua Lafazan, and Republican Daniel Atler leading Democratic Legislator Arnold Drucker by several hundred votes. Absentee ballots may ultimately decide those races, but the tally thus far has certainly given the incumbents a shock. Like meteorologists, pollsters get paid whether they get the forecast right or not. Candidates should view Election Day 2021 as a cautionary tale, as the Nassau GOP wins have sent a shock wave from one end of the state to the other. The victory tally is reminding both parties that, regardless of the latest social media, computer-driven analytics, media endorsements and geo-fencing digital ads, there is no substitute for the type of grass-roots politics practiced by Cairo and the Nassau GOP.

Queens. In the 1930s, New York City began construction of the new IND (Independent Subway — today’s A, C, E, F and G lines). This new municipal system, subsidized by taxpayer dollars, provided direct competition to both the IRT and BMT. Municipal gover nment forced them into economic ruin by denying them fare increases that would have provided access to additional revenues. Big Brother, just like the Godfather, eventually made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. The owners folded and sold out to City Hall.
