‘SpongeBob SquarePants’ to take center stage in Wantagh

By MICHAel MAlASZCZyK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

A dedicated group of Wantagh High School students will invade Bikini Bottom this weekend when they perfor m “SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical.”

The popular Nickelodeon television show was adapted into a stage musical in 2016 and first opened in Chicago. Making its Broadway debut in 2017, the show closed in 2018, when it tied with “Mean Girls” for the most-nominated production at the Tony Awards, with 12.

Though the cartoon has plenty of songs, the musical has an original score and storyline.

While all of SpongeBob’s well-known charac-

ters appear in the musical, audiences will get to see something completely new.

Rather than a stage version of a SpongeBob episode, the musical follows SpongeBob SquarePants and his friends Patrick Star and Sandy Cheeks as they try to prevent the eruption of a volcano that could destroy their entire town.

This is Wantagh’s second production of the year — the first was a performance of the drama “Radium Girls” in the fall. “’Radium Girls’ was a very dark show,” Kimberly Davis, who directs all of Wantagh High School’s productions, said.

“I wanted an opportunity to show the comeContinued on page 6

Nocera hopes to be an aerospace engineer continued from front page Michael Zeilnhofer, with whom she connected during 10th grade while participating in the exploration of the moon and asteroids by secondary students, or ExMASS, an academic yearlong research program that engages students in the process of science.

“I met with him every week on Zoom, and he gave me suggestions about my project and told me what I could improve or what other aspects I could look at,” Nocera said. “He gave me research papers to look at and other areas in the field that would be interesting so it’s a really good relationship.”

After the two were paired through that program, Nocera asked Zeilnhofer if he would continue to mentor her, and he agreed to do it again this year.

“They took care of all the paperwork and gave me corrections on my paper and my PowerPoint presentation,” Nocera said of Cupo and Zeilnhofer.

Despite the time constraints, Nocera said that she enjoyed going through the process. Nocera added that she has held a passion for science since the fifth grade and has taken the science research program for the past three years. She said she hoped to attend the Uni-

versity of Michigan and to major in aerospace engineering.

Nocera was determined to earn a first-place finish in the competition this year, which would have earned her a trip to the International Science and Engineering Fair, or ISEF, where students can meet the brightest student scientists from all over the world and present their work to more than 1,000 judges.

“I was a little disappointed, but I was also surprised that I even got second because, for the past few years, I’ve been focusing more on planetary science, and astrophysics is a complete switch,” Nocera said. “It’s so much more physics and math and just a whole different type of project. And I didn’t really know how that would go because I’d never done it before. It was good because I didn’t think I would place this high.”

“The program is very young at Seaford so the fact that she got second place is amazing,” Cupo said.

Kailly Nocera was awarded second place for her astrophysics project at the Long Island Science and Engineering Fair.

Here’s what Seaford kids want next year

Proposed Budget for Seaford schools

mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

W

hen it comes to school budgets, the views of the taxpayers are typically front and center. But at a Board of Education meeting on March 22, a dedicated group of Seaford students made their voices heard on what they’d like included in the 2023-24 budget.

Budget season for the 2023-24 school year is in full swing. The Board of Education’s budget is set for April 4. The BOCES budget vote is set for April 18. Throughout April and May, presentations on the proposed 2023-24 budget will be conducted for various groups in town, including the Seaford PTA. May 16 is voting day, where residents will be voting on both the budget and two Board of Education candidates.

But the students had a few requests before Rhonda Meserole, assistant superintendent for business and operations, officially presented the proposed budget.

The students would like to see a continuation of the Leos Club, two new clubs, and an additional play performed every year at Seaford High School.

The Leos Club only started this year, with the help of the Seaford Lions Club.

Like the Lions Club, the Leos’ primary goal is fighting blindness, but partakes in charity of any kind. But being in its first year, this was more of a foundational year for the Leos Club than anything else.

“But even while doing that, we were able to have some successful service projects,” William Cassio, club co-president and senior, said “Which included the sock drive for veterans, a glasses drive, and a collection for victims of domestic abuse.

■ Proposed budget: $80,479,174 ■ Budget to budget increase: $3,082,223 — 3.98 percent ■ Projected tax levy increase: $1,358,065 — 2.37 percent

It’S BudgEt SEASon for public schools. Ahead of the budget presentation for the 2023-24 academic year, a handful of Seaford students presented to the Board of Education explaining what they’d like to see included in the budget, whether it be new clubs or the continuation of successful clubs.

And all of these have been very successful with the help of our administration, our members and our advisors.”

Taylor DiFondi, also co-president, wants to see this go even further, and wants to see individual members be allowed to spearhead their own projects.

The new clubs proposed by students are the Knitting and Crochet Club and the Fishing Club. The Knitting and Crochet Club would aim, according to student Lena Millindorf, to teach students how to knit as well as donate their knitting creations to those in need. These donations would consist of baby blankets to hospitals, caps for chemotherapy patients, and

blankets for shelter animals.

The Fishing Club would be exactly what it sounds like. The Wantagh-Seaford area is not only close to the bays and ocean, but also close to some of the most popular freshwater ponds in Nassau County, including Mill Pond, Twin Lakes Preserve, and Massapequa Reservoir.

According to the students who want this club to come to fruition, fall and spring would be spent fishing, whether on charter boats for saltwater or taking the trip over to those nearby ponds. The winter months would be spent learning fishing technique.

“Teaching youth to fish is a powerful

and rewarding way to introduce them to the outdoors,” Paige Gregorek, one of the student presenters, said. “Fishing is something that can be passed on from their family, on to families and friends that will create memories to last a lifetime.”

Following the success of Seaford High School’s performance of “Young Frankenstein,” the Drama Club, led by its choreographer and director Samantha GatesWeber, proposed that the school add another play. This would mean that, in addition to the usual spring musical, there would be a fall drama as well.

“There is an entire group of students who are not joining because they feel scared to sing or dance,” student Troy Tyznar said, speaking of the importance to add a non-musical performance. “Our schedule right now is to live from December to February, with our new show being with our show being in the first week of March. If we add this play through our 12 we will be able to start in September.

That’s seven months total compared to three that the students are able to commit to the club.”

Salk wrestling reaches a decade undefeated

T

he wrestling team at Jonas E. Salk Middle School in the Levittown Public School District capped off a decade undefeated after their recent win against Berner Middle School.

Salk’s wrestling team began their undefeated streak in 2014, when the team’s current wrestlers were only 3 or 4 years old. This year’s team was comprised of 80 seventh and eighth grade student athletes, including four female wrestlers, which is the most that have ever been on the team.

“This team was special,” coach Brian Luball said. “It was the hardest working team that I can recall, and we always have hard working teams.”

“The lessons we teach about life are more important than teaching wrestling moves,” coach Kurt Lassen said.

“It has been nice to see how these kids develop over the years. It carries onto high school and, more importantly, their life after wrestling,” coach Gian Villante added.

Protecting Your Future

Crime watCh Arrests

Levittown on March 17.

■ Two individuals — Danielle Kaine, 36, of Hewlett, and Joanna Kircher, 35, of Lynbrook — were arrested for shoplifting at Target on Hempstead Turnpike in

■ Corey William Fitzpatrick, 28, of Farmingville, was arrested for shoplifting at Walmart on Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow on March 18.

People named in Crime Watch items as having been arrested and charged with violations or crimes are only suspected of committing those acts of which they are accused. They are all presumed to be innocent of those charges until and unless found guilty in a court of law.

Elder Abuse According to the National Institute on Aging, about one in ten adults over age sixty are abused, neglected or exploited. That is a staggering number. The major forms of abuse are: • Physical abuse happens when someone causes bodily harm by hitting, pushing or slapping. This may also include restraining an older adult against their will, such as locking them in a room.

• Emotional abuse includes a caregiver saying hurtful words, yelling, threatening, repeatedly ignoring the older adult or keeping that person from seeing close friends and relatives.

• Neglect occurs when the caregiver does not respond to the older adult’s needs. This may include physical, emotional and social needs or withholding food, medications or access to health care.

• Abandonment is leaving an older adult who needs help alone without planning for their care.

• Financial abuse occurs when money or belongings are stolen from an older adult. It can include forging checks, taking someone else’s

retirement or Social Security benefits, using a person’s credit cards and bank accounts without their permission, changing names on a will or trust, bank account, life insurance policy or title to a house without permission.

• Financial neglect occurs when an older adult’s financial responsibilities such as paying rent or a mortgage, medical expenses or insurance, utility bills or property taxes are ignored, and the person’s bills are not paid.

• Financial exploitation is the misuse, mismanagement or exploitation of property, belongings or assets. This includes using an older adult’s assets without consent, under false pretenses or through intimidation and/or manipulation.

If you see signs of abuse, try talking with the older adult to find out what’s going on.

Many seniors are either too ashamed or fearful of retribution from the abuser if they report the mistreatment. If you see something, say something — report what you see to your county’s adult protective services and they will investigate.

Public safety meeting offers tips to residents mwilson@liherald.com

Residents from Legislator Tom McKevitt’s 13th district made their way to the East Meadow library on March 7 for a public safety meeting. Nassau County police officers from the first and third precincts were in attendance as well. Residents were encouraged to ask questions.

Topics discussed included current crime trends and steps that residents can take to better protect themselves, their home and property, and their family.

McKevitt started off the meeting by joking with the attendees about how his wife begged him for years to get ring doorbell. “From my perspective, the worst device invented for a politician in this universe was the ring doorbell,” McKevitt joked.

But, not feeling safe anymore is what ultimately led him to get one.

“The reason I had to get it is I just don’t feel safe in East Meadow anymore,” he said. “That shouldn’t be the case. I’ve lived here for 51 years.”

McKevitt reminded residents, though, that this meeting was not to scare them, just to provide some tips.

Major crime in Nassau County is up 41 percent from 2021-22, McKevitt said. With grand larceny up 43 percent, and auto thefts up 72 percent.

“Over $1.1 billion a year on the (Nassau County) police department,” he said.

LegISLAtOR tOM McKevItt speaks to the residents at the public safety meeting.

“From my perspective, the most important thing government does is keeping people safe, and we have the best department to do that to keep it safe.”

Inspector Joseph Guerra, commanding officer of the first precinct, pointed out that Nassau County is the safest county in America. “Comparatively speaking to other counties, compared to New York City, our bordering counties and stuff,” Guerra said. “We still have crime very low, and you are in a very safe county. The thing is that we want to keep it that way.”

Guerra pointed out that residents should not leave their cars unlocked and keys in their cars. He also mentioned the uptick in catalytic convertor thefts and

said that he has his detail officers and problem-oriented police on the case.

Guerra discussed bail reform as part of the problem. “People think that you have to show that you got larceny arrests,” Guerra said. “No, it’s the drug arrests.

The drugs bring the crime. A lot of this stuff is people supporting habits.”

In terms of repeat offenders, he said that his officers keep track of them, and have files on them.

Another big topic that came up at the meeting was the Coliseum Inn on Hempstead Turnpike. “We’ve been very busy, that’s just one part of our day,” Guerra said. “We’re having cooperation from the hotel, whereas we didn’t get it before.”

McKevitt explained that he, along with police, have been trying to get the Coliseum Inn closed for years.

One frustrated resident shared his concern about the crime that comes out of the Inn. He said that he has daughters who come home late from work, and he’s afraid of what could happen.

“It’s definitely a very serious conversation,” McKevitt said. “I agree, we can’t do it overnight, I wish we could.”

Guerra said that officers are watching the outside of the Inn. Michael Shea, an officer from the first precinct, told the audience about some recent arrests, including shoplifters, gas station robberies, and more. He said to make sure to turn off your car at gas stations, lock them, and take your keys with you.

“We’re good people,” he said. “But the bad guys are out there let’s not make it easy on them.”

Another crime that residents should be on the lookout for, he said, is phone scams.

Shea said that the first precinct’s biggest tip is when residents call in to report crimes. “Tell your neighbors,” he said, “that if they call the precinct, they don’t have to leave a name.”

At the end of it all, Guerra reminded residents that he’s committed to their safety. “I won’t retire because it’s a passion for me,” he said. “I will tell you this right now, we have committed to use whatever tools we have.”

Long Island’s Premier Business Women honored More than 400 celebrate female leadership at RichnerLive event

By ANA BORRUTO aborruto@liherald.com

A

century ago, it was unheard of for a woman to hold a leadership role, not to mention to work in or run her own company.

Whether it was fighting for the right to vote, equality in the workplace, access to equal education and fair representation, it is important to recognize the female trailblazers of the past and present.

The 60 dynamic women honored at Herald RichnerLive’s fourth annual Premier Business Women of Long Island Awards Gala are living proof of breaking the glass ceiling.

More than 400 attended the gala on March 22 at The Heritage Club in Bethpage — A night of connection and celebration of each other’s successes.

“When my mother Edith Richner founded our company with my father nearly 60 years ago, she was almost always the only woman at the table,” said Stuart Richner, chief executive of Richner Communications. “If she were here tonight, I have no doubt that she would be in disbelief and extremely proud of the dozens of Long Island women business leaders gathered here this evening.”

Hosted by News 12 Long Island reporter Antoinette Biordi, the awards dinner recognized women in accounting, media, human resources, not-for-profits, education, and government, among other industries, for their achievements in their respective fields.

All proceeds from the night were donated to Girls Inc. Long Island — a nonprofit committed to creating safe and supportive girl-positive spaces. Their program cultivates environments where all girl-identified, gender-fluid and non-binary young people are seen and heard.

Terri Alessi-Miceli, president and chief executive of The Hauppauge Industrial Association of Long Island, said events such as the Premier Business Women gala are necessary because they lift women up from all different industries.

“There is a path — you can do whatever you want in life,” Alessi-Miceli said.

“We’ve made a lot of strides in women’s equality, but we have a ways to go.”

Erika Conti, partner with Sahn Ward Braff Koblenz, brought along her two young daughters in hopes they would feel inspired by the many innovative women who surrounded them. As a lawyer who specializes in matrimonial, family and corporate law, Conti was honored for her consistent involvement in public service.

“A leader is someone who mentors the younger generation,” she said. “I always say work hard, but also we are so used to having so much instant gratification — take a breath, get a sense of what’s going on, and don’t feel compelled to jump to an answer.”

Dana Arschin Kraslow forged her own career path in journalism just by sticking to what she is passionate about. The Jericho native is a two-time Emmy Awardwinning journalist who previously

worked for Fox 5 and News 12.

She is the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, and has spent the past decade interviewing other survivors and telling their stories.

“I created a role for myself — that’s how my dream job came to fruition,” Kraslow said. “My advice for a journalist — or for anyone in any industry — figure out what you want, dream it up, create it, and go after it, because you can do anything you want.”

Michelle Somers, head of marketing for PSEG Long Island, is a former president of the PSEG Long Island Women’s Network, where she empowered female employees by working on their personal and professional growth.

Somers is a strong believer of “women helping women,” and said a leader should be supportive of their employees — especially through any difficulties.

“I think it’s important as a leader is to understand the challenges the people who report to you are facing, and being able to mitigate those challenges,” Somers said.

“To clear those obstacles so they can grow, run and get there.”

The major sponsors of this event were

Easy Tax Credits and Tenantbase. Gold sponsors included Age of New Beginnings, Anthony’s Live Events, Beach Club Estate, Beth Donner Design, New Collossal Entertainment, PBI Payroll HCM Workforce Technology, Waldner’s Business Environment, and Windows on the Lake.

Music madness promotes language learning Students in Spanish classes at Seaford High School started off March by filling out their brackets, but it wasn’t for the popular college basketball tournament. Instead, they were making predictions on which songs would advance in the March Madness of Music.

Throughout the month, students in all Spanish classes have been listening to songs in the language and deciding which ones should advance. They hear two songs, then vote on their favorite.

World language department lead teacher Patricia Foley said the songs have represented a variety of genres including pop, rap, rancheros, bachata and pop Latino. Every day, students from Ms. Foley’s and Maria Accardi’s, Diana Arichabala’s and Robert Maloney’s classes can scan a QR code to vote.

“The best way to learn Spanish is through music,” Ms. Foley said, “because you develop an ear for it. It also promotes cultural awareness.”

Madden coppola Scanned the QR code so she could vote for her favorite song of the day.

Herald sports Hofstra baseball seeks a CAA repeat

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

After making history in 2022, Hofstra baseball is aiming for an encore this spring.

Despite being picked to finish last in the nine-team Colonial Athletic Association last spring, Hofstra reached the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history after capturing the conference title with four straight wins in the double-elimination tournament on Memorial Day weekend.

“There is motivation to get back there,” said second-year Hofstra head coach Frank Catalanotto, who had a 14-year Major League Baseball career from 1997 to 2010 with the Detroit Tigers, Texas Rangers, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers and New York Mets. “All you have to do is get into the CAA Tournament and anything can happen.”

Hofstra found itself in an early hole this season trying to qualify for the sixteam CAA playoffs after dropping four of its first five conference games and were

staring at a 1-5 start before rallying for a 4-3 win against William & Mary on March 19 after trailing 3-0. The Pride entered the week at 3-6 in the CAA after winning one of three at CAA newcomer North Carolina A&T. In between the William & Mary and NC A&T matchups, Hofstra split two nonleague games at then 24th-ranked West Virginia. The Pride’s 4-2 win over the Mountaineers on March 21 marked the program’s first victory over a top 25 opponent since defeating 14th-ranked Miami 5-0 in 2011.

“We have started to play better,” Catalanotto said. “We have a confident team that believes we are better than we have shown.”

Wantagh native Anthony D’Onofrio has been a big catalyst behind Hofstra’s recent turnaround with a pinch hit tworun double in the bottom of seventh inning that tied the game in the William & Mary comeback. D’Onofrio, a graduate student center fielder, hit a leadoff homer in last year’s CAA finals clinching win.

“Having his presence in the lineup and around the team has been great,” said Catalanotto of D’Onofrio, who was a threetime All-New York State selection at Wantagh. “He is a hard-nosed baseball player.”

The Pride lineup features four starters batting above .300 in Dylan Palmer, Will Kennedy, Brian Morrell, Santino Ross, Kevin Bruggeman and Ryan Morash.

Junior catcher Matt Pelcher, a Merick native and graduate of Florida’s ING Academy, is getting increased playing time this season and registered a hit in the March 19 William & Mary comeback win.

The Hofstra pitching staff features plenty of experience led by graduate student Brad Camarda, a reigning FirstTeam All-CAA selection who was 8-2 with 76 strikeouts last year. The Dix Hills native tossed seven strong innings in Hofstra’s 5-3 victory in the series finale with NC A&T. The Pride pitching staff also includes junior Danny Kelleher, a former standout baseball and soccer goalie at South Side High School in Rockville Centre. Kelleher has shown potential at times, recording

“He’s had some good games and some not so good games,” said Catalanotto of the 6-foot-4 Kelleher. “He’s the type of player who you kind of know early on where he is going to be on or off.”

Hofstra entered late March in ninth place in the CAA standings, but still has 21 remaining league games to right the ship and earn one of the six available confer-

ence playoff spots. The double elimination CAA Tournament is scheduled for May 24-27 in Mount Pleasant, S.C. Hofstra is next in action this weekend at home for a Battle of Long Island threegame series against CAA newcomer Stony Brook beginning Friday at 2 p.m. The Pride will also host conference games on April 14-16 against Towson, April 28-30 versus North Carolina-Wilmington before concluding its regular season schedule with Elon with a doubleheader on May 20.

Barbara Epstein is in a league HistoRy of herMontH own aborruto@liherald.com

HistoRy MontH

Joe Abate/Herald file

BARBARA EpsTEiN, cO-pREsidENT of the East Nassau League of Women Voters, is known to step up to the microphone often to make her voice heard.

The East Nassau League chapter stretches from Freeport through Massapequa on Nassau County’s South Shore. It includes Wantagh, Seaford, Levittown and East Meadow, as well as communities in the Town of Oyster Bay. Not long after Epstein joined the East Nassau League of Women Voters, she was elected the branch’s president, serving two terms. She is now a part of the group’s management team.

One of her many league responsibilities is talking to community groups, including schools, where they can help students complete their voter registration.

Through the League, she is also involved with Vote411. org — a platform that allows users to learn about the candidates on their ballot during election season, just by shar-

ing their home address. Epstein is incredibly vocal when it comes to participation in local elections, and is currently focused on expanding early voting in New York.

Parent and teacher association groups in Nassau County frequently turn to Epstein and other league members to moderate school board elections.

When it comes to affordable housing, Epstein has been a strong advocate for lowering the costs of buying or renting a home, and works to shine a light on housing inequality present on Long Island.

Epstein has witnessed significant governmental changes, but it really depends on the issue. In some areas, there is still work to do.

For example, Epstein and her fellow managers have encouraged league members to contact legislators in Albany and urge them to pass a bill on campaign finance — which would lead to more opportunities for individuals to run for public office without the overwhelming cost outof-pocket to do so.

More recently, Epstein stood in front of the members of the Hempstead Town Board to protest the proposed redistricting maps, which have since passed.

Epstein continues to attend town meetings, write letters to elected officials, speak on matters impacting Long Island — and she is not planning to slow down any time soon.

“If you have a passion about something, go for it. Get involved,” Epstein said. “You can start small and continue to grow. It’s important you get confidence in what you can do.”

1205988

When it comes to speaking on issues surrounding local government, Barbara Epstein is not afraid to step up to the podium, speak her mind, and keep elected officials in check.

As co-president of the East Nassau League of Women Voters — member for more than 50 years — Epstein has worked on a number of campaigns centered around voting rights, voter registration, campaign finance reform, town and county redistricting, transportation, management of natural resources, and an issue near and dear to her heart: affordable housing.

For Epstein, this passion for local government started in 1970 when the Wantagh resident joined, of all things, a local bowling league. At the time, she was home mostly with her young children, but one of her bowling friends told her about the League of Women Voters, and urged her to come to a local meeting.

Being married to a history teacher and a social studies teacher herself at one point, the topic of government naturally came up in conversation in Epstein’s household.

She decided to attend a few meetings, and “just got hooked.”

“My husband was instrumental because he encouraged me to get involved and to do things like this,” Epstein said. “It was important to be able to have the support of my family.”

The League of Women Voters is a grassroots, nonpartisan multi-issue political organization founded in the 1920s, shortly after women were granted the right to vote.

Since its inception more than a century ago, the league’s mission has remained the same: To encourage informed and active participation in government, work to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influence public policy through education and advocacy.

Vision loss and dementia: The science

ecent reporting in major scientific journals, including reports from the National Institutes of Health, has made significant strides in understanding the links of vision loss and cognitive decline. Although much work is still to be done, scientists and medical clinicians accept data that indicates people with distance vision problems are two to three times more likely to develop cognitive impairment (compared to those with normal vision).

The prevalence of blindness and vision impairment increases rapidly with age among all racial and ethnic groups. Cases of early age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy are expected to double and quadruple, respectively, in the next 20-30 years.

National studies indicate that vision loss is associated with higher prevalence of chronic health conditions, death, falls and injuries, depression, social isolation, and cognitive decline. When combined with chronic health conditions such as diabetes, vision loss is associated with overall poorer health among people aged 65 or older.

Vision loss compromises an individual’s quality of life because it reduces their capacity to read, drive a car, watch television, or keep personal accounts.

Often, it isolates older people and keeps them from friends and family.

Elderly people with untreated poor vision are significantly more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia than their normal seeing counterparts, according to a study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.

It’s also crucial for night vision — vitamin A is necessary for producing protective eye pigments.

Carrots are considered good for eye health because they’re high in beta carotene (vitamin A).

But sweet potatoes, mangoes, cantaloupe, and black-eyed peas are also fine choices.

Michigan, “Visual problems can have serious consequences and are very common among the elderly, but many of them are not seeking treatment.” Poor vision, like poor hearing, can reduce the amount of social and physical activities in adults – thus increasing the risk of developing dementia.

In addition, according to the American Optometric Association, significant near-vision loss in older age may correlate with increased dementia risk. According to this study from researchers at the Univ. Bordeaux in France, moderate to severe near vision loss can double an individual’s chances of developing dementia.

Vitamin B1 Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is a key “anti-stress” vitamin for its ability to decrease inflammation.

Studies suggest vitamin B1 may also help prevent diabetic retinopathy — progressive damage to the retina caused by high blood sugar and decreased blood flow.

Grains — such as bread, rice, and pasta — are good sources of B vitamins.

Vitamin C Another powerful antioxidant, vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system and retinal function. Vitamin C helps fight free radicals, reduces the risk of cataracts, and supports blood vessel health.

Incorporating this important vitamin is easy — and it can be found in more than just oranges!

Guava, sweet red peppers, tomatoes, strawberries, papaya, and broccoli are also excellent sources high in vitamin C. Vitamin E Another important antioxidant eye supplement, vitamin E also helps slow retinal aging.

Foods that are high in vitamin E include nuts and seeds, avocados, trout, and butternut squash.

Oils like grapeseed and safflower are also excellent sources.

Omega-3 fatty acids Fatty acids support healthy vision and retinal function in the development stage and throughout your life. Studies show that maintaining a diet rich in omega-3 slows the degeneration of the eyes. Two of the omega-3 fatty acids (DHA and EPA) also help to relieve inflammation. Sufficient dosage of omega-3 reduces the risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eye syndrome.

Fish oil and coldwater fish like salmon, mackerel, and herring are rich sources of omega-3.

Eat plenty of superfoods So yes, you could turn to a nutritional supplement or multivitamin to get all your eye vitamins.

Better yet, go to the source and eat a diet rich in superfoods that are full of the best vitamins, nutrients, and minerals listed above.

Blueberries: So easy eat, these berries are chock full of antioxidants and anthocyanins that help protect eyes from UV light and may help improve vision for those with glaucoma.

Dark chocolate: Satisfy your chocolate craving. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids, which may help improve vision clarity and reduce the risk of chronic eye disease.

Eggs and egg yolks: Eat your eggs. They contain vitamin D, antioxidants, lutein, and zeaxanthin. The fat content of eggs allows for better absorption of nutrients.

Kale: This versatile veggie is also rich in antioxidants, lutein, and zeaxanthin for those who prefer leafy greens over eggs.

Red bell peppers: This sweet pepper contains a ton of vitamin C, as well as vitamins A and E. Goji berries: This tiny red fruit is packed with antioxidants and powerful medicinal properties.

They’re not only great for adding a pop of color to your plate but also delicious and full of flavor. Full of vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin E, they also contain a large amount of lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as many amino acids that help the body in producing proteins.

Other foods to consider include cranberries, winter squash, turmeric, tomatoes, spinach, collard greens, and almonds.

See Diane Samuels’ gripping drama, presented by Nassau Community College Theater and Dance Department, based on the experiences of children who were allowed to leave Nazi Germany for England in 1938-39 and separated from their families. It tells of the hardships faced by 9-year-old Eva, sent on a Kindertransport and taken in by a British family. It also focuses on the assimilated and Eva’s alienation from her actual mother, Holocaust survivor, and the discovery by Faith, Eva’s daughter, of her mother’s unspoken past. It takes place simultaneously in 1939 and in 1974 England, when Faith, preparing to leave home, finds old letters and photos in the attic that reveal a secret her mother kept hidden since she was a teenager.

SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT You are in danger of losing your home. If you fail to respond to the Summons and Complaint in this foreclosure action, you may lose your home.

Please read the Summons and Complaint carefully.

You should immediately contact an attorney or your local legal aid office to obtain advice on how to protect yourself.

SOURCES OF INFORMATION AND ASSISTANCE The State encourages you to become informed about your options in foreclosure. In addition to seeking assistance from an attorney or legal aid office, there are government agencies, and non-profit organizations that you may contact for information about possible options, including trying to work with your lender during this process. To locate an entity near you, you may call the toll-free helpline maintained by New York State Department of Financial Services’ at 1-877-BANK-NYS (1-877-226-5697) or visit the Department’s website at WWW.BANKING.STATE.N Y.US.

FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services.

Too much secondfloor overhang?

Q. We’ve been discussing adding a room on the second floor, behind our kitchen, with views of the water. We spoke to two contractors, and one told us that we can’t use our existing deck to make the floor of the new room because it has an overhang that he called a cantilever, which is too far out beyond our existing deck beams. Is this true that we have to start over, instead of saving money by using our existing deck?

A. What you heard may or may not be true, but unless someone with the ability and training to calculate the load distribution and confirm it with building codes can check it, you’ll probably never know if you could have saved the structure or not. The unwritten rule, compared with the code standard, is typically that repetitive floor joists onte eeper shouldn’t span more than 2 feet beyond a support beam. If calculations show that the bending moment, fiber stress and moment of inertia are within a safe range, however, then the existing structure may be able to be saved.

It gets more complicated, though, because most decks have inadequate spread footings for the weight distribution underground, especially because people assume, incorrectly, that sandy soil is very stable. They also generally have little understanding of what freezing conditions can do to the entire structure. In other words, most decks are built based on many assumptions, but aren’t considered as big an issue if they move, since cracking and uplift generally aren’t a noticeable concern.

It really doesn’t matter if a design professional is working on a big building or something as simple as a deck, because the ability to cause deadly problems and mistakes is still the same. It’s understandable that people want to save money by not hiring an architect or engineer for something seemingly so simple, but you may want to consider that most municipalities require plans prepared under the direction and review of a licensed professional, and not guessed at by someone with power tools who builds. Many people learn the hard way, especially when they go to legalize a deck long after it has been built and used for years, that the way it was built won’t pass and get a permit without expensive changes.

There are many regulations, codes and laws regarding every kind of structure, from where it can be placed to the materials and methods of putting it together. It doesn’t take much, just a consultation with an architect or engineer, to find out the answer to your question. Building an addition close to water means making a little more effort to only do things once, especially with exposure to the conditions of higher wind and water force, corrosive salt air, saltwater and unstable soil. You may end up with a new structure, but when you think about the investment and your safety, it will be worth it.

Good luck!

aseball is back. Spring training is over. Opening Day is here. In a world of chaos and danger, baseball, to me, is the one constant, my trusted safety zone.

It’s always been this way — from my days growing up in Queens and rooting for the Brooklyn Dodgers, to watching my son Sean playing Little League ball in Seaford, and then my grandson Jack playing Little League in Wantagh, and travel ball in Massapequa and all over Long Island — even out of state.

Watching the pETER boys play on local fields was as excitKING ing — sometimes more so — as watching the Dodgers at Ebbets Field or the Mets at the Polo Grounds, Shea Stadium or CitiField.

Contrary to the “Bad News Bears” images of screaming coaches and hysterical parents, the tone and attitude of youth baseball were always enthusiastic and uplifting.

My wife, Rosemary, and I enjoyed going

A

to our son’s and grandson’s games and being with the parents, family members and friends of the other players. There was a genuine spirit of camaraderie and community involvement. (Even Rosemary, who has no interest in baseball and wouldn’t go to a major league game if I paid her, never missed an inning of Sean’s or Jack’s games.) As someone who grew up in Sunnyside, Queens, which didn’t have a blade of grass where kids could play, I was always impressed by the first-class athletic facilities available for youth sports on Long Island, particularly in the Town of Hempstead.

I realize that baseball has to compete with football, basketball, soccer and hockey for attention, and I don’t begrudge those sports.

But baseball will always rank highest with me. It requires great skills. Hitting against a pitcher throwing blazing fastballs and sharp-breaking curveballs, and having to make a split-second decision on whether the pitch is in the strike zone and whether or not to swing, is as difficult to do as anything in any sport. There’s also the strategy that baseball requires, such

R

as matching certain pitchers against certain batters in certain situations, and whether to bunt, hit-and-run or go for the long ball.

Baseball’s more thoughtful pace and the anticipation of what will happen next creates tension and excitement among players and fans. The game also encourages generational interest.

My fondest childhood memories are of my father taking my brother, Kevin, and me to Dodgers games at Ebbets Field. Sean and I still enjoy going to Mets games at CitiField, where we get absorbed in the game we’re watching and reminisce about games and players from years gone by. Similarly, Jack, who went to many Mets games with me, including spring training games in Florida, and now lives in North Carolina, constantly texts me about how the Mets are doing and how it looks for the upcoming season. And it doesn’t have to be major league baseball. The three of us always enjoyed watching the Long Island Ducks, in Central Islip, and the Brooklyn Cyclones, in Coney Island.

During my years in elective office as

osemary King hasn’t missed an inning of her son’s or grandson’s games.

town councilman, Nassau County comptroller and congressman, it was always a highlight to take part in Little League parades and Opening Day ceremonies.

Those events were always very well attended and festive.

One concern I have now is the decline we are seeing in Little League membership, as so many kids opt for travel baseball, which is much more expensive and has less community focus than Little League ball. If this trend continues, kids whose families can’t afford travel ball, or aren’t at that level of talent, could miss the opportunity that my son and grandson, and so many other Long Island kids, have had of playing competitive baseball with kids in their own community on local fields, with their family and friends cheering them on.

But because baseball has survived, and succeeded, and provided so much enjoyment and great memories for so many generations of kids for so many years, I’m hopeful that it will overcome this challenge and emerge stronger and more popular than ever, and remain America’s national pastime. Play ball!

Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

It’s a go for the voyage of a lifetime

fter two years of intense preparation and government-enforced security protocol, I am free to announce that I may be part of the NASA crew that will travel to Mars on an 80-day expedition set for spring 2026.

What an extraordinary turnabout for an ordinary citizen, especially after the years of constraint and lockdown.

I say “may” because at any time, the NASA leaders are free to rearrange the team. Something could happen in my own life to sideline me and preclude my participation.

RANDI What attracted KREISS my attention to this opportunity was NASA’s interest in studying the effects of life on Mars on older people, and whether there may be a survival advantage among the over-75 set. For this voyage they were seeking two healthy older individuals (among a crew of 10) who could tolerate the rigors of the voyage and the projected time on the ground on Mars of five to seven days.

I first read about the project five years ago, and, considering the requirements and my modest qualifications, I applied to the program with much trepidation and little hope of being selected. After all, by

the time the spaceship launches, I’ll be older than most astronauts — but, then again, younger than many people who take on extreme challenges.

As a novice astronomer, I have always longed to slip beyond gravity and find out more about the mysterious frontier beyond our planet. I could never imagine that the opportunity would come my way at this time in my life. But, lucky for me, NASA was specifically looking for civilian participants with no space flight expertise.

The initial qualifications were surprisingly relaxed.

Candidates had to be U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The standard age requirement of 30 to 55 was suspended for two members of this mission because of the interest in studying older people.

A master’s degree and two years of teaching experience in any field were required, and I had to pass a basic test in computer and biological science as well as the NASA physical. The tests, of course, were modified for the over-70 candidates.

As a finalist, I traveled to the Johnson Space Center in Texas last spring, where I underwent a medical evaluation and psychological and psychiatric screening to determine my suitability for what will be

a physically and mentally demanding mission.

NASA paid for all the exams and travel expenses.

Fortunately, I don’t have any of the food allergies or gastrointestinal disorders that would have eliminated me from consideration. I was even given samples of the spaceflight diet to try at home to test my tolerance.

According to NASA, “Candidates on specific medications are automatically disqualified. For example, blood pressure medications, blood thinners, seizure medications, daily allergy medications, diabetic insulin, sleeping aids, ADHD/ADD medications, antidepressants, anxiety medications.

Food supplements are not permitted during the mission.”

Of course, I had to provide proof of full Covid vaccination, and was required to wear a mask on the JSC campus.

Crew applications were evaluated in the order received for qualified applicants until all available spots were filled. I was notified of my acceptance six months ago.

Recently we were informed that we could go public with the information.

The sobering disclaimer is: “Risks of participating in this protocol may include minor discomfort and low-level radiation

had to pass a NASA physical, which was modified for over-70 candidates.

exposure from X-rays during medical exams, and physical injury or a highly unlikely chance of death.”

Other preparations for the 2026 mission have been under way for some time.

As we speak, participants have been living in artificially created Mars conditions in the desert outside Elko, Nevada. They have been there for eight months, with two months to go to test astronauts’ reactions to a simulated Mars environment, including altered gravity, time, and extreme atmospheric conditions. There are three septuagenarians at the Elko test site.

The trip from Earth to Mars will depend on the relative alignments of the planets. For my prospective mission, most of the trip will be travel time, in the capsule, with up to seven days on land. A new, faster rocket has been developed for the 2026 voyage. Consideration has been given to onboard features that would facilitate participation by an older crewmember.

If you are thinking of space exploration yourself, be advised that the application process for this mission to Mars is closed.

Imagine. The Heralds may be able to boast about its own columnist reporting from space.

Yes, imagine, because there’s no way this is happening. Happy April Fools’ Day, my friends.

Your snoring could be the death of you

oud snoring is annoying, especially to those who lie awake next to snorers, unable to sleep because of the noise. But the situation may be even worse for the person doing the snoring, because it can be an indication of obstructive sleep apnea, which can cause all kinds of serious medical problems.

Left untreated, sleep apnea can lead to heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, weight gain, fatigue, memory issues and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and significantly increase the risk of certain types of cancers.

National Library of Medicine researchers estimate that some 26 percent of Americans between ages 30 and 70 have obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the throat muscles relax and block the flow of air into the lungs during sleep, in turn cutting off the flow of oxygen to the brain, sometimes for as long as two minutes. And the American Medical Association estimates that roughly 30 million people in the United States suffer from sleep apnea — with a smaller number of them, roughly 6 million, actually getting a diagnosis.

The condition can lead to death, as it likely did for actress Carrie Fisher and U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Snoring loudly and feeling tired after a night’s sleep are indicators of the disorder. So are difficulty staying asleep, waking up with a dry mouth, suffering from

morning headaches, feeling overly sleepy during the day, and irritability.

Fortunately, sleep apnea’s effects can be lessened by lifestyle changes, including eating healthy and losing weight. And it can be treated with the use of a CPAP machine — which helps maintain the correct pressure for breathing in order to prevent airway blockage — which most insurance companies cover.

The problem is that many people don’t know whether they have sleep apnea, and are unsure how to find out.

Making an appointment with a sleep disorder specialist — often a pulmonologist, an otolaryngologist or neurologist — is the first step. The doctor will probably recommend a sleep study, which, again, is usually covered by health insurance.

And now it is easier than ever to be tested for sleep apnea. Up until recently, sleep studies were conducted only in labs, where a patient had to spend the night.

Though many experts still recommend a lab test, today the test can be also done in your home, using a small monitoring device that looks a lot like an Apple watch.

It records your breathing, vital signs and brain activity as you sleep, and the data will indicate patterns, including the different stages of sleep and how often you wake up, and determine why your sleep is disrupted.

Hundreds of pages of information from the study will be analyzed, and after the doctor reviews the results, recommenda-

letters Here’s to local journalism To the Editor: The editorial in last week’s Herald, “Tell Albany it’s time to support local journalism,” made sense. Most communities are down to one local daily or weekly newspaper. Newspapers have to deal with increasing costs for newsprint, delivery and distribution, along with reduced advertising revenue and competition from the internet and other information sources.

Daily newspapers concentrate on international, Washington, Albany, business and sports stories. They have few reporters covering local, neighborhood news. Weekly newspapers fill the void for coverage of community news.

I’m grateful to have the opportunity to express my views via a letter to the editor, along with those of others who may have different opinions on the issues of the day.

Albany needs to join us in supporting weekly community newspapers. Readers, patronize advertisers. They provide the revenue to help keep newspapers in business. Let’s hope there continues to be room for everyone, including the Herald.

tions will be made that, more often than not, will include using a CPAP machine.

Small and unobtrusive, the machine can be placed on a bedside table. It provides steady air pressure through a mask worn by the user to the trachea, or windpipe, keeping it open to allow for unobstructed airflow. This will often stop its user from snoring.

The National Institutes of Health have found that men younger than 50 are two to three times more likely to have sleep apnea than women. But after women turn 50, they, too, often develop the disorder. If you suspect that you may have it — if you sleep uncomfortably or if your sleep is regularly interrupted — it’s imperative that you find out for sure.

A recent study by the Johns Hopkins Sleep Disorders Center examined how sleep apnea patients’ metabolism is affected during the night when they neglect to use their CPAP machines. Researchers found the apnea caused a spike in blood sugar, heart rate, blood pressure and stress hormones.

The results were compared to what might happen if someone were asked to speak before a crowd. “It’s very similar to that type of a stress response,” Dr. Jonathan Jun, a pulmonary and sleep medicine specialist at the center, said. “I would liken sleep apnea to something like that happening on a nightly basis.

“CPAP is the first-line treatment,” Jun added, “and it’s very effective.”

opinions

he increasing number of women in positions of leadership has been vital to changing our national narrative about what is fair and equitable. I have known great female leaders throughout my career, from New York City schools to those in many prominent organizations here on Long Island. These women leaders have brought about powerful change.

Women have been marginalized historically, but their participation in our society makes for a stronger union. During Women’s History Month, we have patrick m. recognized the contributions of pizzo ii our female leaders and the challenges to gender equity that remain. Those challenges are faced by women of all backgrounds, affecting our nation in many ways that are not always effectively conveyed or fully understood.

In the New York City Department of Education in the 1990s, a group of women banded together in what became known as the Offeree Movement, battling employment inequity among custodial workers in the city’s schools. The fight

wasn’t easy, and it took many years, but they were on the right side of history and ultimately prevailed. They not only became part of the fabric of the profession, but became leaders among their new colleagues. We thank them for the path they forged.

Currently there are many talented women working for the NAACP, the Long Island Latino Teachers Association, the Long Island Black Educators Association and the Cedarmore Corporation, advocating for an equitable path forward.

They will succeed. Please learn about these groups and participate in their great work. Their success is our success, as the world they are creating will be beneficial to all members of our society.

Join these organizations if you believe we are stronger together, or if you believe in gender equity, or if you believe in the rights of all people — or join them if you would like to be in the presence of great people doing transformative things for other people. These groups are about fairly addressing the needs of all members of our society, even when confronted by those who don’t share their values. Their collective good is stronger than the fringe bad.

heir success is our success, because the world they are creating will benefit everyone.

Letters Are students really passing their classes?

To the Editor: Re Mark Nolan’s op-ed essay, “The shell game we like to call graduation rates,” in the March 9-15 issue: I was a social worker in the New York City education department for more than 30 years. Nolan’s article about how schools inflate their graduation rates is on target. Administrators want their schools to look good, securing their own positions. Parents want their children to have a reasonable chance of being accepted by colleges.

But Nolan’s piece missed one thing that I learned from my colleagues over the years. A teacher may pass any student without being questioned, but if that teacher believes that a student merits a failing grade, he or she must submit a supporting document detailing why that failure is justified. In New York City, a class may well have 30 or more students. Teachers generally teach five classes a day. That’s at least 150 students per day. It’s reasonable to assume that many students may not have done whatever was needed to pass their classes, for whatever reasons.

If you’re a teacher who must justify a failure but not a passing grade, isn’t it just easier and less time-consuming to simply pass students rather than waste

port, has been a powerful advocate for women and especially a guiding light for young women. On March 18 the organization hosted “Lifting as We Climb, I Am My Sister’s Keeper,” a benefit that honored several outstanding women leaders from Long Island: Angela Yee, an award-winning media personality, who was presented with the Cynthia Perkins Roberts Memorial Award; Leema Thomas, deputy editor of Newsday (the Voices of Inspiration Award); Susan Poser, president of Hofstra University (the Trailblazer Award); Amy Flores, vice president and community manager of JPMorgan Chase (Voices of Inspiration); Christine Layne-Waters, conference education chair of the New York State NAACP (Voices of Inspiration); and Marie E. Saint-Cyr, an artist and entrepreneur (Millennial Moment Honoree).

This month, the Heralds have published a number of stories on local female leaders. We should celebrate them and their accomplishments. But as I read about these leaders, a different thought occurred to me: Besides just listening and admiring, let’s follow their lead. What I took away from these stories was that these women are forging a new path for-

ward, beyond their individual accomplishments. They are having a positive effect on those of all genders, because they are leading the way to a better tomorrow for us all.

These women did not seek recognition, and several of them, actually, wanted to decline that recognition to focus on their advocacy for equity, their view being that the work is more important than the acknowledgments. But recognition of our women leaders is vital, because their inspiration has a multiplying effect, as others are moved to join them. I hope they will continue to accept the honors they have earned and richly deserve, so we all may learn about the admirable work they are doing.

Let’s celebrate their victories, join in their efforts and share their vision for the future as they promote a principled way forward. I am optimistic about the future, despite the current political turmoil, because we will be a stronger country moving forward if we are united in respecting the views of all constituencies.

Women from all backgrounds are key to this better tomorrow.

Let’s get buildings off fossil fuels To the Editor: Climate change poses a devastating threat to Long Island, with our region among the most at risk in the nation. Anyone who lived through Superstorm Sandy and Tropical Storm Isaias got a taste of the destruction to come if we do not take urgent action.

The good news: there are policies that could save lives and money, such as the All-Electric Building Act, in the State Legislature, which would ban fracked gas and other fossil fuels in new buildings. Allelectric new buildings are affordable, reliable, and necessary to meet New York’s climate goals. We are in a code red situation, and it is essential that Long Island legislators support this important bill.

As a member of Food & Water Watch, as well as a devoted grandfather, I urge our leaders to support this common-sense measure to move New York off fossil fuels.
