‘This middle school is a family’ Rachel Quattrocchi is new assistant principal

By MichAEl MAlASZcZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

A new era has begun for Wantagh Middle School, as literacy expert Rachel Quattrocchi is beginning her first year as assistant principal.

Quattrocchi is replacing Stephanie Scolieri, who has served as assistant principal for the past eight years and has accepted the position as the district’s director of human resources.

Quattrocchi said she believes she is qualified and ready to take on her new position. She previously worked in Plainview schools for 12 years as a reading specialist before coming to Wantagh. Although this is her first adminis-

trative position, Quattrocchi said she is no stranger to working alongside school leaders.

“When I was in Plainview, I worked very closely with our administrative team,” she said. “It was not in an official capacity, but I took on a lot of initiatives and spearheaded a lot of things.”

When she found out that Scolieri was leaving the post, Quattrocchi applied for it, and said she fell in love with Wantagh during the interview.

“I first met the principal, Anthony Ciuffo, and Stephanie Scolieri,” Quattrocchi said.

“And right away, I picked up on the fact that this middle school is a family.”

Last cleanup of the summer at Jones Beach

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

As summer draws to a close, so does the need for environmentally-minded residents of Wantagh, Seaford, and neighboring communities to step up and help make Jones Beach a little cleaner.

The Jones Beach Energy and Nature Center opened in fall 2020 by order of Andrew Cuomo’s clean energy initiative.

Despite its opening in the middle of the pandemic, it got off to a great start in terms of attendance. That attendance would only grow as schools began to reopen and take field trips down to the center.

The center offers an educative experience in both local history and sustainable energy for beachgoers – the building itself runs on solar power and features a whole exhibit dedicated to solar power.

Events run by the center include hikes, marsh walks, lectures, activities for children, and more recently, a summer enrichment-type program intended for young adults.

But one of the activities run by the center stood out. All summer, the center hosted beach cleanups in the mornings.

These cleanups were led by an environmental educator, and would target different regions of the beach – some were walking distance from the center, while volunteers had to drive to others.

The last planned one of the summer took place on August 30, with educator Mia Ramirez and numerous volunteers cleaning up the ocean side on Jones Beach’s West End. While there will be more, this one marks the end of summer and the beginning of the school year.

Prior to leaving the center, Ramirez gave a short lecture about the kinds of garbage that can be found on the beach, explaining how most of the plastic does not come from bags but rather from balloons that could’ve come from anywhere before washing up on the beach. Ramirez

even explained how in one of their cleanups, the center found a balloon that came from Ohio.

The beach cleanup, however, isn’t all about picking up garbage; volunteers are often treated to brief lectures on the wildlife on and around the beach while this is going on. Volunteers got to hear about dune life such as foxes and piping plovers, as well as marine life like dolphins, whales, and crabs.

The center hopes to host at least one beach cleanup in the fall and one in the winter as well, if not more. Jeanne Haffner, the center’s director, was pleased with how the summer went, and hopes for success to continue.

“The summer was fantastic,” Haffner said. “We had our marine camp with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County, held professional development sessions for educators and school leaders, held our first seasonal astronomy night, and offered yoga and meditation on beautiful evenings.”

Orientation for incoming sixth, ninth grades

WANTAGH HERALD — September 8, 2022

As Wantagh High School ninth graders traveled to their new school on Aug. 26, they took a familiar route. The building is connected to the middle school, where they spent the last three years, but there are a lot of differences and that’s what they learned about during freshmen orientation.

The following Monday, sixth graders from Wantagh’s three elementary schools made their way to the secondary complex for the first time for their own orientation. Filling that void of students who now attend school on the other side of the Colonnade, about 220 sixth graders discovered the differences between elementary and secondary schools – changing classes, having lockers and a wealth of clubs to join.

Wantagh Middle School principal Anthony Ciuffo welcomed both students and parents during a pair of informational programs in the cafeteria. He explained that it was important for parents to be there too, to see the place their students will spend six hours a day, for 180 days a year, for the next three years.

After he and assistant principal Rachel Quattrocchi provided information about the sixth-grade schedule, drop-off procedures, lunch and recess, extracurricular activities and some social media safety tips, it was time to tour the school. Students found their classrooms and opened their lockers for the first time, many taking the opportunity to decorate.

NASSAu CouNty’S tEmpoRARy Districting Advisory Commission meets every 10 years after a census to consider redrawing county legislative lines. This time around, some of the people who live in those existing districts are asking for more diversity and inclusion.

Nassau voters say they’re tired of redistricting

By ANDRE SILVA

Stalemate in the commission

asilva@liherald.com

It’s a unique opportunity to reshape town lines and political power within Nassau County — an occasion that comes just once every decade.

When people in Nassau County got together back in 2012, they worked to decide how each of their communities would be represented on the county legislature. But in the first hearing of the 2020s held last week, many came together at the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative Building in Mineola to voice their disdain for the process.

Noah Burroughs, a Hempstead village trustee, said he was not given enough time or notice for this particular.

“It seems like it was done purposefully,” Burroughs said. “The day before kids are back in school in some districts, obviously this doesn’t allow some parents with children to get here. However, you can see this is still well attended.”

Some 100 people attended the meeting to discuss how the latest U.S. Census numbers affected how residents would be represented at the county level.

Among those in the audience was another Hempstead village resident, Daniel Oppenheimer, who said he believes the county needs to be more transparent with their map creation process as well as the data they’re using to create new district maps.

He said he doubts officials will share enough data to paint the full picture of the segregation, separation and inequality throughout Nassau County.

“We need publicly available data, posted clearly, and actually research the raw data,” Oppenheimer said. “Not just the secondhand or thirdhand data after the scientists go through it. We need to see the data they are using to make these maps to have an educated opinion.”

But it would be hard to take diversity and representation into account if that diversity doesn’t exist on the redistricting committee itself, Valley Stream’s

tImothy RoDgERS, who has lived in Hempstead village for 30 years, said the effects of gerrymandering and redistricting over the years have left communities like his — particularly communities of color — in a ‘state of decay.’

Cristina Arroyo Rodriguez said.

To emphasize that point, the former Herald reporter approached the podium and began her remarks in Spanish.

After a brief pause, she repeated her statements — this time in English — explaining the confusion and misunderstanding the committee members likely felt as she spoke a different language is the exact same confusion and misunderstanding that thousands of non-English speakers feel in Nassau County.

“The Catch-22 we are in is cyclical,” Arroyo Rodriguez said. “The appointment of the members on this commission was not random. Those in power picked them. Unfortunately, those in power have proven themselves to be uninterested in proper representation and true equity.

“Creating a fair district map is the first step in remedying equitable representation. And gerrymandering is the first barrier.”

The infamous art of “cracking” and “packing,” to create districts that favor specific candidates or political leanings is something Arroyo Rodriguez and others spole out against. They don’t like the

way they believe officials can cut up and divide communities within a district to manipulate the electorate to their favor.

Timothy Rodgers, who has lived 30 years in Nassau, said the effects of gerrymandering and redistricting have left communities — particularly communities of color — in a state of decay. Since the previous redistricting a decade ago, he’s noticed a systemic disparity and a misrepresentation of resources in these communities.

“With a blindfold on, you can start driving from Garden City, and you’ll know when you get to Hempstead or Rockville Centre,” he said.

Rodgers said he loves his community dearly, and was motivated to come attend the hearing to speak on behalf of his neighbors. Like other members of the public, he hopes this year’s redistricting takes testimonies like his and others into consideration to create an equitable and fair map for the entire county.

The committee — known officially as the Temporary Districting Advisory Commission — is tasked to have its new district lines finalized by Nov. 7.

Before public testimonials began in front of the Nassau County redistricting committee this past week, Democratic appointee David Mejias challenged the motivations of his Republican counterparts, saying they intentionally stonewalling the process to redistrict county legislature seats. That way, GOPers could have free reign to adopt what he described as an unlawful map in November. where it would be nearly impossible for anyone to effectively challenge the map under federal law.

Mejias went as far as saying he and other Democratic appointees in the minority scrounged a list of potential locations and dates to hold possible hearings, with no answer or response from Republicans in agreeing to the dates. Furthermore, at the committee’s current pace, the hearing to approve the map by both delegations would even happen until Nov. 10 at 5 p.m.

That would leave the public just one hour to view a map that could potentially rule the county for the next 10 years, Mejias added.

Peter Bee, who leads the majority contingent on the redistricting committee, said he was disappointed Mejias would start the hearing with a partisan attack on the good faith and integrity of the Republican members of the committee. Bee said he appreciated the minority delegation’s efforts in finding locations and times where the committee can convene and listen to the public, and that in the meantime, the commission should focus less on attacking each others’ motivations, and more on what they were charged by law to do.

Herald sports Hofstra seeks another NCAA tourney run

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

t

he Hofstra men’s soccer team has a big act to follow on heels of last year’s historic run to the third round of the NCAA Tournament.

Hofstra won two NCAA tourney games for the first time in program history including an 8-2 rout of Big Ten power Penn State in the second round that took the college soccer world by storm. The Pride bring back the brunt of last year’s team that went 18-2-2 with a 17-match unbeaten streak and the program’s first Colonial Athletic Association title since 2015, but lost its best defender in George O’Malley and one of its top goal scorers, Matthew Vowinkel.

“Once you’ve had a taste of it you want more,” Hofstra’s 34th-year head coach Richard Nuttall said. “Hopefully that will drive our returning players forward.”

Hofstra entered the season ranked 17th nationally in the United Soccer Coaches Poll and opened the new campaign with a dramatic 2-1 home win against Fordham on a goal from Eliot Goldthorp with just one second left.

Some key returners from the 2021 team, which led the nation in goals (56) and points (170) include reigning AllAmerican senior midfielder Hendrik Hebbeker, who had 9 tallies to go along with 11 assists last fall.

Ryan Carmichael, who was the country’s leading scorer with 39 points, assisted on Goldthorp’s winning goal.

Mason Tatafu, who won Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Rookie of the Year honors last season and tallied a goal in the Fordham victory, is also a central part of the offense along with team captain Stefan Mason.

On defense, the Pride returned All-CAA First Team goalkeeper Wessel Speel following a sophomore season in which The Netherlands native achieved a 0.90 goals against average with eight shutouts and 72 saves. The backline in front of Speel includes Merrick native Pierce Infuso, who had 20 starts as a sophomore.

“He exceeded all expectations last year as a younger member of the team,” said Nuttall of the former Bellmore JFK High School standout,. “He is a rock solid part of what we do.”

Hofstra, which was picked to repeat as CAA champions as a unanimous selection of the league’s coaches opens the home portion of its conference schedule on Sept. 17 against Northeastern at 7 p.m.

Many new faces for Pride women Hofstra women’s soccer lost plenty of talent off of last year’s veteran-laden NCAA Tournament team and is seeking another climb to the postseason with a far younger squad.

The Pride returned only a few starters from a 17-4-1 2021 campaign that saw the program win its fourth CAA

Krista Agostinello, at right, is part of a talented defense that helped the Pride capture its fourth conference title in five seasons. title in five seasons and reach the second round of the NCAAs. With many new faces, 17th-year head coach Simon Riddiough said it could be a long process before determining who will comprise his consistent starting lineup.

“It’s going to take a lot more work than we had hoped, but we’ll get there,” Riddiough said. “I think we’re going to have a lot of ups this season and downs and hopefully we can come out on a high note at the end.”

Hofstra still returns some key pieces from the CAA championship squad including a stout backline featuring veteran defenders Anja Suttner, Krista Agostinello and Louise Hayden along with senior goalie Skylar Kuzmich, who recorded 12 solo shutouts last season.

After a 3-2 season opening win against Fairleigh Dickinson University (FDU), the defense did not surrender a goal in its next two matches, a 0-0 tie with Yale and 3-0 win against Albany.

Senior forward Ellen Halseth is the leading returning

scorer off a 2021 season with 10 points and she netted the winning goal against FDU with just 2:19 remaining. The Pride have also gotten a spark plug early on this season from freshmen Thorhildur Thorhallsdottir, who netted the season’s first goal off an assist from fellow Iceland native Dagny Run Petursdottir.

Riddiough sees plenty of potential from some of his local newcomers receiving extended playing time this fall including forwards Leah Iglesias (Carle Place) and Cailey Welch (Glen Head). Sophomore forward/midfielder Olivia Pearse, a former standout at Seaford High School, netted two goals as a freshman.

“We have huge expectations for her,” said Riddiough of Pearce. “She’s got tremendous ability.”

Gillen, D’Esposito, look to spirited campaign jbernstein@liherald.com

In her Democratic primary race last month, Laura Gillen faced jabs from her opponent she had lost her 2019 re-election bid for Hempstead town supervisor.

Yet, Gillen won the primary anyway.

But her race this November against Anthony D’Esposito could be, as the late great Yogi Berra once said, deja vu all over again.

D’Esposito — a Hempstead town councilman representing the Republican ticket in the race — also believes Gillen’s loss to fellow GOPer Donald Clavin will give him an edge in the race to replace U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice, a Democrat, who is retiring after 10 years in the U.S. House.

And, as before, Gillen has a ready answer. While she was town supervisor, she had support from Democrats and Republicans. And, Rice won her races by healthy margins over her Republican opponents. According to the Cook Partisan Voter Index, the district’s results were four percentage points more Democratic than the national average.

The race is important nationally, as Democrats hope to hold onto control of the House, where they currently have just a 130-member lead. The non-partisan Cook report rates 10 Democratic seats as leaning toward or likely Republican against three Republican seats that lean Democratic.

Jerry Kremer, a veteran political com-

mentator and a Herald columnist, said Gillen has broader name recognition than D’Esposito, even if she did lose the 2019 race.

“She ran in a bad year for Democrats,” Kremer added.

Anthony D’Esposito He said he also thinks that stressing women’s rights in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade also could give her an advantage.

Yet, even being well known, a win for Gillen is “not a slam dunk. November is a long way off.”

As the campaign officially, more or less, kicks off after the Labor Day Weekend, both candidates promise a spirited race.

But it already seems to be turning bitter.

D’Esposito has already claimed Gillen “is embraced by a party of radicals.” Gillen accuses D’Esposito of being an extremist.

“I’m running because I’m concerned about the direction of the country,” Gillen, a Rockville Centre-based attorney, said in an interview. She pointed to Roe v. Wade as well as her concern that if Republicans take control of congress, a woman’s’ right to an abortion will be eliminated nationally.

D’Esposito, who won a special election to the Hempstead town board in 2016, was

re-elected to a full four-year term in 2017. He’s a retired New York City police detective who worked in Brooklyn.

“My opponent is going to be a rubber stamp for Joe Biden,” D’Esposito said.

Laura Gillen He sees inflation and “the failed policies of Joe Biden” as key issues in the race, along with crime, citing “cashless” bail as a product of the Democratic Party.

“Cashless bail has left our communities less safe,” D’Esposito said. Such bail measures limit what judges can set to hold suspects accused of crimes for most misdemeanors and non-violent felonies. Judges are required to release people with the least restrictive conditions, as long as they are ensured they’ll return for court dates.

Supporters say it prevent jails from being punishment only for the poor. Those who are against it claim it puts criminals back on the street to create more victims.

“As town supervisor, I worked with law enforcement to battle crime and corruption, and to protect the residents of this district,” Gillen said, in an email. “At this moment, one of greatest threats to our community is posed by extremists like my

opponent who want to strip women and girls of their rights and prevent them from ending a pregnancy when their lives are in danger, or when they are raped.”

While Gillen considers abortion rights a major issue, D’Esposito, takes a more narrow position.

“What’s important to focus on is that, in New York, nothing is going to change,” he said, adding abortions are still legal in the state.

“Women here are still protected,” D’Esposito said. “There are too may here who believe that their rights are not protected.”

Gillen makes clear she thinks guns are a major problem and that assault weapons should be prohibited.

“I’m a mother of four,” Gillen said. “I am the only candidate (in this race) who will stand up to the gun lobby.”

D’Esposito falls back on his law enforcement background.

“When it comes to guns, there is one person in this race who has spent 29 years taking guns away from people,” citing as a cop, he made “1,000 seizures of illegal guns” and “600 arrests” in connection with murders and shootings.

“What we need to do is focus on prosecution of people who have guns and no licenses,” D’Esposito said.

When it comes to assault weapons: “There needs to be more education in place” about such weapons. “And proper background checks.”

With school back, safety is first concern

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Leaving nothing up to chance, Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder told an audience of school administrators last week that he — and the police force behind him — have their backs, and the backs of their students.

Using step-by-step techniques and new tools like the Halligan crow bar — for a lack of a better description — funded by the State Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Grant, Ryder assured these educational leaders his police force can handle anything thrown at them.

Unveiling a seven-point plan spelling out the word “prepare,” Ryder described the steps to prevent and respond to a mass shooting event. Two key elements involve use of a smart app known as Rave — a panic button of sorts that alerts the nearest police officer of a situation, and the appropriate training for when that officer first arrives on the scene.

The idea is to get someone inside to help end a situation, even if backup has yet to arrive.

“He is going to get in and get into that classroom as quick as we can to stop the shooter,” Ryder said. “It’s all about time, slowing the shooter, getting the cops there faster, protecting the people inside the building. And that’s how we save lives.”

It’s the kind of response that comes more into focus these days, especially after the reportedly long response time to an active shooter in Uvalde, Texas, last May where there’s a general belief that by moving faster, many of the 19 elementary school students who were killed could have been saved.

When every second counts in a mass shooting situation, it helps that every patrol car is equipped with tactical gear, Ryder said, including Kevlar, helmets and tourniquets.

New equipment such as the Halligan breaching tool will cut the time it takes to get inside somewhere. Since schools lock down in the case of an emergency, the attending officers can pry and pop open a locked door in a matter of a few quick movements.

The idea for the Halligan came from looking at other first responders.

“Sometimes you’ve got to look at other entities — like the fire departments — and use them,” Ryder said. “So, we bought the sledge first to break a window, get in, clear the window. But you also want something to pry. If you take a Halligan in, and then you hit it with the sledge, it’s really going to pop the door.”

Matthew Gaven feels protected. A new superintendent in Rockville Centre, Gaven attended Ryder’s demonstration, listening in on ways students can be kept safe. It helps, he said, that village police officials assign officers to walk through Rockville Centre schools on a regular basis, familiarizing themselves with the layout.

“You heard the commissioner talk

NAssAu COuNty POlICe commissioner Patrick Ryder holds the new Halligan breaching tool used to get past secured doors, paid for by the State Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Grant. Behind him, members of his department model different outfits worn for different situations — from visiting a school in regular gear, to engaging tactical measures in the worst of situations.

Preparation and response Before police officers step into a volatile situation, they have an action plan they must adhere to with the hopes of de-escalating a situation before more drastic measures are needed.

Among the steps for ‘Prepare’ are: ■■ Partnership: Partner with the Nassau County Police Department by informing them with “actionable” information.

suPeRINteNdeNts fROm sChOOl districts spanning Long Island visited the Mack S. Davis Center for Intelligence to hear how to better protect their students and those responsible for teaching them. about coordinating very, very well — and they do,” Gaven said. “Our commissioner, James Vafeades, he’s amazing. I’ve known him for a long time, and he and Rob Connolly coordinate very well. The village works hand-in-hand” with the NCPD. Part of the seminar’s goal was to build a strong bond between law enforcement and school officials, Ryder said.

But many have already taken the county police commissioner’s advice to create a safter space.

“We’re just glad that we have the resources that we have to keep our schools safe,” said Judith LaRocca, Valley Stream’s superintendent. “I think that partnership is really important.”

In the Valley Stream, LaRocca says seeing patrol officers on the grounds are a daily and welcome occurrence.

“We have a lot of the security measures that the police commissioner recommends already in place, like the security vestibules, Rave app, locked doors, classroom doors that can lock from the inside,” LaRocca said. “So, I think Commissioner Ryder’s points about stopping an active shooter and creating a delay so that the Nassau County police can get to us, we’re ready for that. We’re prepared in our school district.”

That’s exactly the kind of thing Ryder likes to hear.

“We are extremely ecstatic with our partnerships,” he said. “Every parent should know the schools in Nassau County are very engaged with us, and that’s how we have been so successful in a lot of things.

“I have such faith in us and the superintendents.”

■■ Recognition: Be able to see signs of a person in crisis with the goal of intervention before action.

■■ Education: Empower and practice preparedness with staff members and students through training to look out for suspicious activity.

■■ Prevention/Preparation: Daily school visits from patrol cars help develop situational awareness.

■■ Activation: Should an active assailant incident occur, notify NCPD through the Rave Panic Button located in schools.

■■ Response: A multi-level response may be needed for the situation, officers attending are equipped with breaching tools, ballistic helmets and vest, and tourniquets and rifles.

■■ Execute■the■Plan: First arriving units arrive on scene to stop the threat.

Fun, enriching summer in Levittown schools kickball, reading programs, all that. But we wanted to provide a plethora of things for them to choose from.”

Some of these programs took students on adventures all around the island.

The marine biology program, for example, was conducted at Caumsett in conjunction with BOCES, allowing students to explore the North Shore coastline, examining the diverse flora and fauna inhabiting both the water and the land.

They lear ned how to fish, and explored a salt marsh to learn about Long Island’s glacial history.

The students also canoed upstream to a freshwater pond and learned about its unique ecosystem, culminating with a trip to the Long Island aquarium.

“The kids got to get into waders and see everything there is to see in the marshes,” Winch added.

Another intriguing program the students took part in was called “Adventures in Local History,” as they visited the Smithtown Historical Society, the Holocaust Museum and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove, Walt Whitman’s birthplace, and Old Bethpage Restoration.

They participated in several historical activities, including talking to Holocaust survivor Anita Weisbord, who escaped on Nicholas Winton’s “kindertransport” in 1938.

Other programs consisted of music, driver’s education, engineering, and

About 1,300 students from Levittown, Wantagh and Seaford attended the summer enrichment program, making it the most successful program to date, district officials said.

“We’ve never offered this many opportunities in one summer, so I’d definitely call it a success,” Winch said. “Obviously,

this grant isn’t going to last forever, but we want to keep (it) at this level.”

The superintendent praised all the teachers involved in the program, adding that they have overcome obstacles caused by two years of the pandemic to come back stronger for the students.

“Our number one priority is the academic, social and emotional needs of our

kids,” Winch said. “And even with the burdens of the past two and a half years, we have teachers and administrators coming in to do great things for them.

“Thanks to our summer enrichment, we have the expectation that this is truly going to be a fantastic school year,” Winch added. “It has set the stage for a real return to greatness.”

Bay Park pit a pitfall to disgruntled neighbors

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

It’s super early in the morning, barely sunrise. Cars and trucks trickle past construction crews along Sunrise Highway, working in what could be best described as pits.

This is the Bay Park Conveyance Project, with a goal of improving marsh quality of life. Yet, for many neighbors who live around the project, the work in the pits is diminishing theirs.

It’s all part of a state- and federally funded project intended to reduce nitrogen pollution in the Western Bays by redirecting treated water from the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility in Bay Park to the Cedar Creek facility. While some say this is an excellent step toward lowering chemicals in the bays for the wildlife that live there, neighbors are at their wits’ end over the consistent earthquake-esque rumbling all through the late-night and early morning hours.

Some of those neighbors shared those concerns during a virtual public information session last week hosted by the project leaders. At the same time, they learned crews are now constructing a new pump station within the confines of the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility at Bay Park, and that they are also continuing to slipline and microtunnel across the South Shore.

“Sliplining” is repurposing an older pipe by slipping a newer, smaller pipe inside. “Microtunneling” is boring a vertical hole to help create a tunnel below the surface.

Pouring the concrete for pump station columns inside the wet well and diversion structure at the South Shore facility poses no problem to the public, said Travis Brennan, a spokesman for Western Bays Constructors.

“There really should be no noticeable impact to the public,” he said, adding that the area distinguished by “BP1” marks a worksite where microtunneling first took

“You will see us have a presence in the area throughout the life of the project, albeit in a much less or different capacity,” Brennan said. “So, we expect to have a presence there. But as we draw down and move our operations elsewhere, that area should see an improvement as far as the amount of activity happening on a day-to-

day basis.”

One particularly controversial worksite is known as “Pit R,” which is along Sunrise Highway in Merrick, is not far from residential neighborhoods such as the Merrick Manor Townhouses. One of the people who call that area home, Greg Parisi, has already reached out to everyone from project managers to local politicians to the state transportation department since work started in January hoping to quell these quality-of-life issues.

“It’s a great project,” Parisi said. “In theory, what they’re doing is a great thing for Long Island. But they’re doing a lot of this at the expense of a lot of homeowners.

We can’t even have people come over here. I mean, the place just rattles.”

Last week’s meeting wasn’t the first time neighbors have addressed these concerns. Project managers invited many of the homeowners to an open forum meeting last May at the South Merrick Community Center. At the time, residents were told work in the pit would be completed and paved no later than the end of June, or in a worst-case scenario, the second week of July.

But as September rolled in, Parisi said he has had enough.

“They’re all full of beans,” he said, adding that just the week before, he tried to have his daughter and young grandchildren over.

“They had to leave early because the kids couldn’t sleep,” Parisi said. “The bedroom was shaking. We’re casualties of the project.”

While agreeing the project is necessary to support native ecosystems, Parisi still just wants crews to meet him halfway. He suggests blocking off the middle lane on Sunrise Highway where trucks pass the concrete plate and cause vibrations. Work teams also could slow down traffic, or simply divert the trucks to other lanes.

In all, the Bay Park Conveyance Project will construct 11 miles of new pipeline, costing $830 million.

Nassau County’s Irish Festival returns to NICKERSON BEACH

By Karen Bloom he approach of fall brings about that joyous celebration of all things Irish, the Nassau County Feis and Irish Festival. The annual spectacle is a cherished tradition that gathers visitors and participants — of all ages — who enthusiastically partake in a revelry of Irish dance, music, piping, drumming, and athletics known as a feis (pronounced fesh).

The Nassau County Feis, according to the Ancient Order of Hibernians, retains the rare distinction of being a full feis in the traditional meaning of that term, in that it showcases not only Irish step dancing competitions, but also a full menu of Gaelic bagpiping, traditional Irish music and song, Irish language activities, games, and sports.

Everyone will find plenty to keep them occupied, with live music all day long. That includes a performance by Harpers Ferry.

The band’s energetic sound fuses When: Sunday, Sept. 18, the passion of old-American folk 9 a.m.-6 p.m. $10 per person; children under 16 free. with country rock and their Irish Where: Nickerson Beach, heritage.

880 Lido Blvd., Lido Beach The AOH, which hosts the event with the Ladies Ancient For more information, visit NassauAOHFeis.com Order of Hibernians of Nassau County, encourages all to settle in for the day, ready to experience these age-old traditions that never go out of style.

“As an Irish/American Catholic organization, both the AOH and the LAOH are determined to promote our Irish heritage culture and Catholic faith and values,” says Feis chair Mike Byrne.

“We are looking forward to another great day.”

As far back as 18th century Ireland, communities would come together for special festivals of dance and music — involving competitions, laughter and good times. That tradition continues here in Nassau County, where, since 1972, the AOH keeps the culture at the forefront with its feis, held every September.

It’s a day that focuses on the always vibrant, age-old Irish traditions. The dance competition showcases some the finest Irish dancers in the New York metropolitan area, and pipers from all around come to perform. The sheer energy of the step dancers fascinates the many visitors who come just to see them being judged,

so they can move on to championships. The dancers perform intricate steps, often arrayed in dazzlingly colorful outfits, dancing jigs, reels, hornpipes and set dances. Winners often move on to national competition and even international competitions.

Among other highlights, the Gaelic bagpiping and time-honored music and song always attract much attention. Individual musicians demonstrate their talents and compete for prizes on a number of instruments, including the fiddle, tin whistle, flute, accordion, all forms of bagpipes, drums and keyboards, or any other instrument of their choice. Singers do the same, and judges have been known to award extra points for songs sung in the Irish language.

Additional activities include an art competition and games for kids. There’s also an Irish marketplace, featuring all sorts of Irish-related goods and treats for sale.

Laughs with Howie Mandel As seen in ‘America’s Got Talent’ and ‘Deal or No Deal,’ Howie Mandel arrives on Long Island with an all-new stand-up set.

Mandel has remained a constant force in show business for more than 30 years. He can currently be seen on NBC’s flagship series “‘America’s Got Talent’ where he has served as a judge for 11 seasons. He recently finished production on his new documentary,’Howie Mandel: But Enough About Me.’ Other recent projects include judging NBC’s ‘America’s Got Talent: The Champions,’ CNBC’s “‘Deal or No Deal,’ serving as executive producer and host and Nat Geo Wild’s ‘Animals Doing Things,’ where he co-hosted with his son Alex.

The WanTagh School District welcomes 34 new teachers this year.

New teacher orientation in Wantagh School District Students aren’t the only ones who get new school orientation.

After reviewing resumés, conducting interviews and watching demonstration lessons, the Wantagh School District carefully selected 34 new teachers for the 20222023 school year. The first-year faculty members were welcomed to Wantagh during a three-day new teacher orientation starting on August 24.

There were presentations by Wantagh administrators on inspirational learning, effective communication, technology resources and personalizing instruction to meet the needs of all students. During a bus tour of the district, navigated by Wantagh superintendent John McNama-

ra, teachers got to visit all Wantagh schools and see some notable places in the community.

An important part of the first-year experience is the mentor program, in which each new teacher is paired up with a veteran educator. The mentors and mentees met each other and began forging professional relationships that will span the school year and beyond.

This year’s new teachers represent multiple grade levels and subject areas as the district’s five schools. On the final day of orientation, they were able to visit their home schools, meet with building administrators and colleagues, and set up their classrooms.

Public Notices

the District Treasurer is authorized to affect such transfer from time to time to effect the beginning of such construction.

This resolution shall not take effect until thirty (30) days, unless in the meanwhile a permissive referendum as provided by the General Municipal Law is required to be held.

Dated: August 29th 2022 By order of The Board of Fire Commissioner Brendan J. Narell Superintendent 133943

PIPING & HEATING CORP. $

A. There are a few things in life that are inevitable, other than the obvious. The same goes for concrete. Inevitable cracking can be limited with an understanding of the details. Concrete is a chemical mixture. The chemicals and materials all work in a relationship that either binds, bonds and stabilizes, or various reactions occur. onte eeper I was fascinated when I first learned this fact, so much so that I did my fifth-year thesis in Methods and Materials classes on “the effects of salt intrusion on concrete.” I visited worksites, took lots of notes, climbed through condemned bridges and on scaffolds to get an up-close examination of damage, followed repair procedures, studied parking garage structural design and then went to view each step of the parking garage’s construction process. The most interesting thing I took away from all of that was the effects that translate to everything in nature, from our internal organs and outside skin tissue, to the growth of plants, the forming of plastics and every kind of chemical and physical property and process.

Concrete is an ever-changing composition, not a stable compound. It moves with thermal changes, expanding and contracting, elongating and shrinking. As a solid material, most people think it’s waterproof when, in fact, concrete is absorbent. If you put the wrong waterproofing coating on it, it no longer breathes, and will violently react by forcing the surface to split in small eruptions, fighting off suffocation in the same way you would if someone tried restricting your breathing. The reaction is called spalling, which also happens when a liquid penetrates the surface and expands by freezing.

To combat some of the reactions, since concrete isn’t very elastic, steel reinforcing rods, abbreviated as “rebar,” are added. If you place the rebar in the wrong places, they can actually have a negative effect. The ratios are calculated based on a very exact science that has been carefully researched.

Engineering concrete isn’t guesswork, yet I see workers regularly setting up reinforcing, before the concrete is poured, in the wrong places and configurations.

You may be missing expansion joints that allow the cracking to happen at the designated weak joints; there may have been too much water in the mix, causing the calcium whiteness to leach to the surface; or the internal heat from the curing of the concrete wasn’t able to dissipate properly if the air temperature was too high. Your concrete is going to have small cracks. Good luck!

Q. This spring we added a garage and replaced our driveway. It has only been about five months, but we’ve noticed cracks in the garage floor and a few in the driveway. The garage floor was perfect when the contractor left, flat and smooth, but now the cracks are showing, and in a couple of places I noticed it’s chalky white. I’m concerned that something was done wrong. The concrete was delivered and poured all together, from a big truck. Does it sound like something went wrong?

etting older has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the advantages is that having lived a long life, you’ve had an opportunity to see changes in the world around you, and you can pass your observations on to anyone willing to listen. One of the disadvantages is that even if you have some brilliant thoughts, members of the current generation think they know more than you and will reject your thinking out of hand.

For my entire life, I’ve believed that bipartisanJERRY ship is the only way we can get KREMER things done. I can point to hundreds of changes in our federal and state laws that wouldn’t have happened without the willingness of the two parties to sit down and collaborate on many contentious issue. But with each passing day I become more disturbed about what has happened to the Republican Party, and by its inability to reform itself before it is eaten alive by people with the worst possible way of

H

thinking.

The current party is best described as whatever former President Donald Trump thinks it is. He calls it the MAGA party, but it’s really the Trump party. He supports candidates who embrace his philosophy and rejects anyone who dares to challenge his thinking. Established politicians who were once the bedrock of the party are afraid to cross him on any issue for fear that his followers will turn on them.

I know there are a lot of good Republicans serving in the current Congress, but if you did a Washington name recognition test, the majority of party members would recognize only two prominent names. One is Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is known for outlandish and clueless statements. The other is Liz Chaney, who warned America about the perils of being a Trump supporter and has paid a price for it.

Until Trump came along, it had been a long time since the Republican Party had been saddled with anyone whose name alone was bad news for the party. I can think back to the days of Sen.

T

Joseph McCarthy, followed by President Richard Nixon, and remember how they damaged the image of the party. But neither McCarthy nor Nixon was able to dominate the party’s thinking like Trump. He has established a stranglehold on the entire institution and has wiped out its great history, dating back to Abraham Lincoln.

Any fair-minded Republican has to acknowledge that the party has taken a series of political beatings that would never have happened under any other sitting or former president. In 2020, the party lost the House and the Senate, and it has a good chance of losing the Senate again due to the weakness of a group of Trump-supported candidates for the midterm election. In 2020, Trump brainwashed Georgia voters into avoiding voting, which helped elect two Democrats to the Senate. That race alone tipped the Senate balance in favor of the Democrats.

The vast majority of Republicans in this country are moderate to conservative thinkers who would fit nicely into the structure of any normal political organization. But today, a large number

he GOP is saddled with someone whose name alone is bad news for the party.

of those level-headed people believe the 2020 presidential election was stolen, even though Joe Biden beat Trump by 7 million votes. And many have become convinced that the electoral system is corrupt, and have been discouraged from taking part in the voting process.

Many Republicans, as well, believe that Trump is a victim of a partisan judicial system, and that’s the cause of his current legal problems. Some invoke the name of Hillary Clinton, claiming she had the same legal problems as Trump, but that is totally false. If Clinton did anything wrong, including violating the Federal Records Act, Trump had four years to punish her.

The conclusion is simple: Donald J. Trump is a blight on the Republican Party, and the party will not be revived again until he has disappeared from the political landscape. I am 100 percent in favor of a Republican Party that looks to its better angels. Those days are a long way off.

Renting a house, like trying on a new life

ave you Vrbo’d? Do you Airbnb?

When I first heard about renting rooms and houses online, it seemed both dangerous and gross.

I understood motels and hotels, but I didn’t get the concept of renting from actual people who might be smelly or predatory. Suddenly, real estate was on the market by the day, ranging from a room in an apartment to a cabin in the woods to a mansion near Central Park. But who would change the sheets? What if there were bugs? And the RAnDi crazy uncle with KREiss the hatchet hiding in the basement — what about him?

I said it wasn’t for me, but I said that about the iPhone, too.

I began using Airbnb and Vrbo some 20 years ago. What I never imagined was the joy of discovering a new place and trying it on for a few nights. The plus is that instead of getting just a room, where your husband blasts the TV at deafening levels, you can get a whole apartment or a

house and have a kitchen and make popcorn instead of ordering room service.

Hotels and motels have their own issues, especially these days when maid service is sometimes optional, and the free breakfast went out the door with the bell person.

Reminds me of my “Psycho” motel stay on a car trip from Florida to Long Island when my husband and I were in our 20s. We didn’t have a reservation, and everything was booked.

By the time we got to North Carolina we were falling asleep, so we pulled into the Bates Motel, where Anthony Perkins checked us in and watched us all night through a peephole. At least that’s what I remember. We slept in our clothes on top of the bed and left at dawn.

When our kids were in college, we started renting houses we found through classifieds. There were phone calls and letters exchanged. We rented for years in Montana, from Darby to Missoula to Flathead Lake to Glacier Park. Those summers changed all of our lives in the best way. The kids became hikers and climbers and fishers and campers.

When we had grandkids, we used

A

Vrbo to rent houses in North Carolina for two-week stays in the summer. We never rented the same house twice, because that would have ruined the adventure. All in all, we did well, landing beautiful properties in the mountains. The only North Carolina bust was the summer we rented at the “famous” Lake Lure, only to discover that the lake had completely dried up.

This summer we rented three different houses in Maine. Experience has taught me to read the descriptions very carefully.

Does A/C mean real A/C or a unit in one window? Does “all amenities” include a washer and dryer? Does “lively setting in town” mean you’ll live above a biker bar?

It’s always a risk, but you can preempt problems by asking all your questions upfront, by reading all the reviews and by taking out insurance. We narrowly missed a possibly haunted stay at a house in Camden when I noticed the face of a woman in the window over the garage, in the photos. Turns out she comes with the house. “Oh, she never goes out,” the owner texted. We took a pass.

irbnb and Vrbo and other platforms have changed our travel experiences.

One of our Maine houses was built in 1820, but was renovated and outfitted by someone who had a wonderful obsession with detail and fine linens.

Another house was run down. The online photos were obviously taken a long time ago, and the owner gave us the wrong lock box code, so we couldn’t get in for a few hours. It did have a stunning view of Casco Bay. The third house was in the woods, whispering pines, immaculate and well supplied with cookware. It was also well supplied with wild turkeys, which screeched outside the bedroom window at 5 a.m. every day.

There’s stuff you can’t anticipate.

Airbnb and Vrbo and the other platforms have changed our travel experiences. Now, instead of being confined to a room, we can try on another life, with different walls around us and new neighbors and mountains or rivers or ocean beaches out the window.

We travel with Lillybee the dog. There are pet-friendly properties, and “no pets allowed” renters, but I have learned that sometimes an owner will be open to making an exception for my “very small, hypoallergenic, well-trained pup.” Lillybee has been an awesome Airbnb guest.

ood evening.

Today our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts.

The victims were in airplanes or in their offices — secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers. Moms and dads. Friends and neighbors.

Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror.

The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger.

These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed.

Our country is strong. A great people has been moved to defend a great nation.

Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shatter steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.

America was targeted for attack because we’re the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world.

And no one will keep that light from shining.

letters Pay teachers more, administrators less To the Editor: Re Jerry Kremer’s column “Help Wanted: teachers needed badly (Aug. 25-31): Here’s one retired teacher’s biased opinion about (too low) teacher salaries.

It took 37 years for this retired teacher’s salary to rise from $6,400, in 1966-67, to $100,000, in 2002-03. But not only do I not begrudge current teachers their higher salaries for doing their extremely important, difficult and under-appreciated jobs, but I would even propose the radical idea that no school administrator should ever receive a salary greater than, or even equal to, what teachers are paid.

Yes, I mean that teachers deserve to be paid more than school principals, and even district superintendents (although I’m not suggesting that teachers receive multi-milliondollar salaries, since only CEOs, athletes, actors and singers are “worth”

Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America, with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could.

Immediately following the first attack, I implemented our government’s emergency response plans. Our military is powerful, and it’s prepared. Our emergency teams are working in New York City and Washington, D.C., to help with local rescue efforts.

Our first priority is to get help to those who have been injured, and to take every precaution to protect our citizens at home and around the world from further attacks.

The functions of our government continue without interruption. Federal agencies in Washington, which had to be evacuated today, are reopening for essential personnel tonight, and will be open for business tomorrow.

Our financial institutions remain strong, and the American economy will be open for business as well.

The search is underway for those who are behind these evil acts. I’ve directed the full resources of our intelligence and law enforcement communities to find those responsible and bring them to justice. We will make no distinction

between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.

I appreciate so very much the members of Congress who have joined me in strongly condemning these attacks. And on behalf of the American people, I thank the many world leaders who have called to offer their condolences and assistance.

America and our friends and allies join with all those who want peace and security in the world, and we stand together to win the war against terrorism.

Tonight I ask you for your prayers, for all those who grieve, for the children whose worlds have been shattered, for all whose sense of safety and security has been threatened. And I pray they will be comforted by a power greater than any of us, spoken through the ages in Psalm 23: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are with me.”

This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time.

None of us will ever forget this day, yet we go forward to defend freedom, and all that is good and just in the world.

Thank you. Good night, and God bless America.

T

he Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 is quite simply a big deal.

This new law provides around $370 billion to combat the climate crisis, the largest investment our nation has ever made in tackling climate change. All New Yorkers, and Long Islanders in particular, can thank our Sen. Charles Schumer for his hard work in getting this historic bill across the finish line, and for his commitment to fighting the effects of climate change that are all too familiar to us.

As a lifelong adrienne South Shore resident, I see the esposiTo clear, adverse impacts of the climate crisis on local communities. The devastation of Superstorm Sandy may have been the most obvious, but higher tides resulting in increased local flooding, degraded bays, toxic tides, closed beaches, warming estuaries, fish kills, loss of shellfish,

and increased home insurance are all part of our new reality.

This transformative law will lower costs and create millions of good jobs while fighting climate change in the process. It will spur families to electrify buildings and transportation, with incentives that could add up to $28,500 to switch to efficient electric home appliances, install rooftop solar and buy electric vehicles. Families that take advantage of incentives to electrify their homes and cars could save up to $1,800 per year in energy costs. An analysis commissioned by the BlueGreen Alliance from the University of Massachusetts Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute even found that the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate and clean energy investments will create more than 9 million jobs over the next decade — about 1 million jobs per year.

The legislation invests in communities across the United States by growing our clean energy economy. It takes a

LeTTers that much!).

After all, it is teachers who do the essential job of all schools: educating the students.

The way I see it, the role of administrators is basically that of “support personnel,” those whose job it is to help teachers do their jobs. Similar to school secretaries and custodians, administrators do an important job, but one that is only necessary, not sufficient.

For an analogous example, look at the world of professional sports.

Coaches and managers usually aren’t paid as much as the players are. The classroom is teachers’ field and court.

RIChARd SIEGELMAN Plainview

There are many reasons why teachers aren’t happy To the Editor: Jerry Kremer’s analysis of why there are too few teachers is incom-

necessary step forward to clean up legacy pollution by investing $60 billion in communities disproportionately impacted by climate change, including funding for clean transportation methods and public health measures to improve air quality.

These climate investments will also go a long way toward cutting climate pollution by an estimated 40 percent by 2030. An estimate by the independent research firm Rhodium Group found that the Inflation Reduction Act will put the U.S. on track to meet our nation’s reduction goals.

But further action is still necessary. In the coming years, Long Island residents can expect to face more frequent and prolonged heat waves, worsening air quality, more heat-related illnesses and deaths, rising sea levels, and intense storms and hurricanes. In the past 50 years, we have seen an increase of 2 degrees Fahrenheit in global temperatures — a troubling trend that experts

expect will only worsen by the 2080s.

The Environmental Protection Agency foresees a rise in temperatures by 4.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, putting our children and grandchildren in harm’s way.

To address the full scale of the climate crisis, the Biden administration and federal agencies must use all the tools at their disposal to implement solutions for pollution that will help meet the president’s pledge to cut climate pollution in half by 2030. Specifically, agencies must clean up power plants, trucks and cars, industrial sources, and other pollutants. In addition, Congress must continue to make progress on delivering a clean-energy future for the country.

Climate action can’t wait. I applaud Majority Leader Schumer for his leadership on climate action with the Inflation Reduction Act, and I join Long Islanders, and Americans, in calling on Congress and President Biden to do all they can to limit the impacts of climate change on our cities and neighborhoods before it’s too late.

Adrienne Esposito is executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment.

plete. Teachers aren’t interested in returning to classrooms because they don’t want to teach critical race theory and gender dysphoria to elementary school students. That is why parents want books removed.

Parents want their children to learn reading, writing, math, science and correct biology. There is nothing evil about removing these salacious books from classrooms and libraries. The removal of these books encourages teachers; it doesn’t discourage them.

Good teachers will side with parents.

In addition, teachers fear getting killed by a mentally disturbed student with a gun in a town where the police have been defunded. Also, some teachers object to paying union dues collected to support socialist viewpoints. Low salaries also discourage teachers from retur ning to classrooms. Forcing teachers and students to wear masks is another disincentive. And accepting non-college graduates as teachers is another move toward the dumbingdown of America. Can’t you see it?
