Glen Head athlete wins big at national decathlon championship
By JUlIA CAPITEllI jcapitelli@liherald.com
Neither a calf injury nor food poisoning could stop Glen Head resident Gary Leschinski at the National Junior College Athletic Association track and field championships. After picking up track late in high school, the Suffolk Community College student won the NJCAA Division III championship in the decathlon.
Leschinski first began running track at North Shore High School because his friends were on the team and to stay in shape for baseball, his primary sport. In his first year of college at Nassau Community College, he had to make a choice. He decided to run track and keep training for baseball separately. He
then transferred to Suffolk because he would be allowed to participate in both sports.
“This year, the goal was to do both at the same time, which ended up in a lot of injuries, a lot of stress,” Leschinski said. “At the end, I kind of left baseball in the backseat, and it worked out.”
Despite getting involved in track to support his baseball career, he ended up excelling, primarily in sprints, at Nassau.
“I think it’s just the mindset of being the best at everything,” Leschinski said. “Everything I do, I have to kind of take really seriously. I can’t just do something for fun.”
It was at Nassau that Leschinski would discover his affinity for the javelin throw, in which athletes throw a metal-tipped spear for

North Shore chooses interim superintendent
By JUlIA CAPITEllI jcapitelli@liherald.com
Tom Dolan will return to North Shore School District as interim superintendent on July 1 following Superintendent Chris Zublionis’ departure on June 30. He previously held the position in the 2021-22 school year, before Zublionis was hired as superintendent.
IZublionis and Board of Education President Andrea Macari sent letters to the community in April addressing the district’s residents after the announcement that Zublionis had accepted the superintendent position at Plainedge Union Free School District. At that time, Macari confirmed that Dolan would serve during the transition.
’m honored to be considered I’m flattered that the district thinks that I have something to offer, and I’m as excited as a rookie.
retired in 2016 from Great Neck Public Schools but could not turn down the opportunity to serve as interim president at Nassau Community College, which arose shortly after. Dolan has taken on several roles across districts since then, including interim superintendent at Sewanhaka Central High School District in 2023-24. Most recently, he served as part time Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum at North Babylon School District this year.

“Very luckily, the phone has continued to ring, and I am still vigorous and excited,” Dolan said. “And I love to work.”
Macari said the board immediately considered Dolan for the interim superintendent position upon learning that Zublionis would be leaving. She described choosing him for the role as a “no brainer.”

Local musicians to perform at annual Porchfest
By JULIA CAPITELLI jcapitelli@liherald.com
Local bands and solo artists will take to the porches of Sea Cliff on Saturday for Love Your Neighbor Project’s annual Porchfest. Community members and music lovers are invited to stroll the village streets for the 11-hour concert.
This year marks the nonprofit’s fifth Porchfest after the first in 2021. The idea originated with Sea Cliff resident Sean Llewellyn, who was involved with a youth activities board in the village before the pandemic. He approached Teich with the idea at Love Your Neighbor Project’s first end of year celebration in 2020.
“I kind of took the role of being the ‘Porchfest guy’ to handle the logistics,” Llewellyn said. “The bands, the neighbors who are sharing their porches, and then the kind of math, and kind of three dimensional chess of when people are playing, where they’re playing, how you get an audience from place to place.”
Teich said that she “fell in love” with the concept and that it made sense for her organization to hold the event to build community.
“When we thought about it through the lens of our mission,” Teich explained, “it was really all about, ‘How do you turn strangers and to neighbors?’ Music is so connective, right?”
Llewellyn tells those interested in participating to start thinking about Porch-

fest in February. He reaches out to musicians who have played before and residents who have previously offered their porches to gauge who plans to participate again. Llewellyn said that as demand has grown, he has musicians that have not played the event before contacting him as well. Sometimes, he has to direct artists to contact him the following February to
join the next year.
“I would say that there is some preference given to local artists,” Llewellyn said, “and I’m also always looking to provide an opportunity for young performers to have a chance to get in front of a good audience.”
Roughly 800 people attended last year’s Porchfest, Teich said, though she noted
that the turnout can be difficult to quantify because the event is spread out through the village.
“We do anticipate this year being a bit larger,” she added. “And so, year over year, we have seen growth. We started at like 400 people in our first year. So, the community is certainly saying to us, ‘We love this event.’”
The lineup has been finalized, featuring 22 local bands and solo musicians. Branch Real Estate Group, located in Sea Cliff, is sponsoring the event.
Until 3 p.m., there will be multiple acts performing simultaneously in different areas of the village, separated into a South-North tour and West-East tour. Once 3 p.m. hits, the two tours will come together, and the remaining ten acts will each be the only to perform at one time.
Teich emphasized that Porchfest is more than “11 hours of fun.” The money raised for Love Your Neighbor Project during the event goes toward initiatives throughout the year to support local people. The organization offers scholarships and grants, contributes to other nonprofits, and helps community members in need.
“Porchfest, for us, is the ripple effect of how we can be in community, the way that the community has asked us to show up for them,” Teich said. “And it’s 11 hours of a really good time.

Imagine and interpret with David Wiseltier
By JULIA CAPITELLI jcapitelli@liherald.com
When Glen Head resident David Wiseltier was a child, he constructed roads and tunnels from blankets. His interest in using fabric in art grew from there. As a creative director in advertising, he used fabrics for photography backgrounds, drapes and fashion. Alongside his advertising career, he began making artwork out of fabrics, organic materials and found objects. A collection of Wiseltier’s work is on display in the East Hills Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center’s artSPACE.
The exhibit includes works made largely from fabrics creating a sense of movement. Many works were left untitled. Wiseltier said he chose not to title pieces in order to allow viewers to “finish the thought” and interpret them in their own way.
“What I wanted to do,” Wiseltier said, “was to create work that really left a lot up to the imagination of the viewer.”
Wiseltier described himself as an advocate for ecology and said that the environment has always been an important topic for him. He also explained that aside from getting people to use their imagination, one overall message of the exhibit is the conservation of Earth’s oceans.
While his artwork related to the ocean is not literal, it is representative of ongoing threats to the environment, Wiseltier said. Some pieces incorporate nonbiodegradable objects to represent pollution in the planet’s oceans.
“I love being outdoors, except I don’t like camping,”
Wiseltier joked. “But I do like being outdoors, and I think it’s really important, because it’s a very serious problem, and if it keeps getting ignored, at some point my children or their children are going to be faced with a world that that’s not very habitable.”
Jaime Teich, associate executive director of marketing and communications and curator of Sid Jacobson JCC artSPACE, said that it is important for the organization to showcase local artists. Wiseltier is also a member of the JCC.
An opening reception was held on May 7. Teich said that the exhibit was put on display now because it relates to environment centered holidays and that it is unlike anything artSPACE has showcased before.
“He somehow creates this movement that is really interesting to the eye,” Teich said. “I love the way that in certain pieces of his he utilizes these organic matter so that he’s really bringing pieces of the Earth into what it is that he has created.”
Teich also said that she enjoys listening to conversations between observers as they view Wiseltier’s work, trading interpretations. She added that this fits with the goal of artSPACE, to bring people together.
Wiseltier echoed this desire to build community.
“In today’s environment,” he said, “it’s nice to give people an opportunity to just let go of what’s going on and just lose themselves in their imagination.”
The exhibit titled “The Art of Imagination” is on display through the end of May.

NEW YORK’S WRONGEST RUNNING COMEDY!
New data shared by the Alzheimer’s Association reveals a growing concern for families in New York and an increasing public health challenge. The organization holds an annua walk in East Meadow’s Eisenhower Park, typically in October.
New report highlights rising toll of Alzheimer’s disease
New data released by the Alzheimer’s Association shows Alzheimer’s disease is a growing concern for families in New York and an increasing public health challenge.
Avoiding Guardianship in New York
For the ever-increasing number of those who become legally incapacitated later in life (i.e. unable to handle their legal and financial affairs) having a legal guardian appointed looms as a distinct possibility.
A guardianship proceeding may be commenced by a hospital, nursing home, assisted living residence, family member or a professional involved in the affairs of the “alleged incapacitated person” or “AIP”. These proceedings arise for various reasons such as the facility looking to secure payment or a family member or professional finding that the AIP is either not handling their affairs well or is being taken advantage of financially.
Once the proceeding is commenced a vast bureaucratic process begins to unfold. Notice of the proceeding and of the date and location of any hearings are sent to all interested parties, including all immediate family members.
The court appoints a court evaluator to meet with the AIP, determine the nature and extent
of the disability and write a report to the judge. The judge will also appoint a lawyer to represent the AIP in the proceeding and sometimes adult children will want their own lawyers to represent their interests.
The judge decides on who the legal guardian will be and it often ends up being a stranger to the family. Some judges feel that the AIP’s children should not be guardian due to a conflict – that whatever they spend on the AIP is coming out of their inheritance. Other reasons for not choosing one of the AIP’s adult children are sibling rivalry or inability to handle the responsibility.
Guardianship proceedings are expensive, time-consuming and highly stressful to all involved, including the AIP. Trusts avoid guardianship by providing privately who will handle your legal and financial affairs should you become legally incapacitated. Having a trust means you will have those in charge who you know and trust instead of the possibility of a court
According to the association’s 2026 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report, 426,500 residents age 65 and older in New York are living with Alzheimer’s disease. The disease continues to take a significant toll, with 3,208 deaths attributed to Alzheimer’s and a statewide mortality rate of 16.1 deaths per 100,000 people.
The impact extends beyond those diagnosed, with 776,000 New Yorkers serving as unpaid caregivers, providing an estimated 1.3 billion hours of care valued at $33.8 billion.
The report also highlights the scope of the crisis nationwide. An estimated 7.4 million Americans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s. Annual care costs, excluding unpaid caregiving, are projected to reach $409 billion this year. Nearly 13 million family members and friends provided more than 19 billion hours of unpaid care last year, and since 2000, U.S. deaths from Alzheimer’s have increased 134 percent.
An accompanying special report, “Brain Health in America: Understanding and Supporting Lifelong Cognitive Health,” points to a gap in awareness
that contributes to the public health challenge. Survey results from more than 3,800 adults age 40 and older found that while nearly all respondents view brain health as equally important as physical health, only 9 percent say they know a lot about how to maintain it. More than two-thirds reported concerns about their brain health or the risk of developing dementia.
To address those needs, the Alzheimer’s Association is working with partners to deliver research-backed information and programs to help people support their brain health.
Locally, the Alzheimer’s Association will host the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer’s on Sunday, Oct. 4 at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow, bringing together residents, caregivers and advocates to raise awareness and support for those affected by the disease.
The full 2026 Alzheimer’s Disease Facts and Figures report is available at alz.org/facts and will be published in the April 2026 issue of Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association.
The Alzheimer’s Association is a worldwide voluntary health organization dedicated to Alzheimer’s care, support and researc. For more information, visit ALZ.org or call (800) 272-3900.

L.I. Rail Road strike looms as talks continue
By BRIAN KACHARABA bkacharaba@liherald.com
With less than a week remaining before a potential Long Island Rail Road strike set for midnight Saturday, negotiations between the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and a coalition of rail unions remain ongoing, with both sides offering sharply different assessments of progress.
At the center of the dispute are pay and working conditions. Union leaders are seeking a retroactive 9.5% wage increase over the past three years and an additional 5% raise beginning this year.
Meanwhile, the MTA is offering raises but is also seeking changes to work rules and productivity standards in return, saying it must control costs and protect the system’s long-term financial stability.
The sides were scheduled to meet again on Monday.
The dispute involves more than 3,500 workers represented by the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen; the International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers–Transportation Division; the Transportation Communications Union/IAM; the Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen; and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
Two Presidential Emergency Boards were convened between September 2025 and last March to help resolve the dispute.
Kyle Denson/Herald
With a May 16 strike deadline approaching, the MTA and a coalition of LIRR unions continue negotiations over wages and work rules for more than 3,500 employees.
Both boards sided with the unions, rejecting the MTA’s proposed work rule changes and recommending wage increases, helping set the stage for the current standoff.
At a press conference in New York City on May 8, MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber said he believes progress has been made in negotiations but acknowledged a deal has not yet been reached.
“I do think progress has been made,” he said. “We had a very long meeting yesterday and I would say we are closer, although we’re not there yet.”
Lieber urged the unions to avoid a strike, warning of financial consequences for workers.
“At this point, we’re getting close enough that it would be, I think, crazy for the workforce who is looking for more money to throw it away by going on a strike,” he said. “Remember, if you go on a strike for a day, that’s one out of roughly 260 days of pay. Pretty quickly, that starts to wipe out the small increments that we’re still trying to negotiate out.”
However, union leaders said in a May 8 statement that negotiations made no progress and accused the MTA of failing to offer acceptable wage terms.
“What was presented did not move us closer to a settlement,” said Jeff Klein, general chairman of IBEW Local 589. “Every day, as a result of MTA’s phony surface bargaining, we move closer to the

Shaun O’Connor, general chairman of IAM District 19, said talks have been slowmoving.
“We’re running out of time here,” he said. “The MTA is still showing a lack of urgency. We practically had to drag them back to the bargaining table this week and what they’ve offered can be best described as ‘too little, too late.’”
Kevin Sexton, vice president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, said workers want a contract that reflects rising costs.
“Our members are very frustrated,” he said. “They have gone years without a raise, and they want the trains to keep moving. But they won’t agree to a concessionary contract when the cost of living on Long Island has dramatically increased.”
Lieber disputed those characterizations.
“I don’t think it’s accurate,” he said. “I don’t want to get into a debate. It’s their turn to come back and respond to the new proposals that have been put on the table.”
He also said the MTA has already put money on the table.
“It’s money in the pockets of the families that they represent,” Lieber said. “No one’s playing gimmicks, but we’ve got this money on the table. Don’t hurt your workforce. Let’s make a deal.”

No quit in shorthanded Vikings
By PETER SCHWARTZ sports@liherald.com
To say that injuries played a role in the North Shore boys lacrosse season would be the understatement of the year.
With only 15 out of 23 players available, the Vikings lost at Suffolk-based Comsewogue 19-9 on May 2 despite four goals and two assists from senior attackman Angelo Anobile and two goals from junior attackman Anthony Cimino.
North Shore had to forfeit its May 6 game at Oceanside because it didn’t have enough available players.
But somehow, the Vikings have been able to fight through the adversity and they took a 6-9 record into the final week of the regular season.
“This group never quits,” coach John Savage said. “They’re battling and winning games that maybe they shouldn’t. The fact that they’ve been pulling out some victories is remarkable.”
The most recent victory was a 16-6 win over Floral Park last Saturday as Cimino scored seven goals following up a six-goal performance in a 10-6 victory over Plainview and a five-goal effort in a 9-8 win over Calhoun.
Anobile added two goals and an assist in the victory that also marked the return of sophomore face-off specialist Tyler Kaufman who was injured during the second game of the season.
Kaufman won 14 out of 18 draws.
“He’s a difference maker,” Savage said. “He’s arguably
North
got back
one of the best kids in his age group on Long Island.”
Throughout this challenging season, North Shore has received contributions from a
number of players as the Vikings did their best to piece things together.
Sophomore short-stick defensive midfielder Antho-
ny Martini has been a workhorse playing lockdown defense and scooping up ground balls.
“He’s done an amazing job for us and it’s the most unheralded position in all of lacrosse,” Savage said.
John Peck has been the leader of the North Shore defense. The junior long-stick midfielder has been a force in terms of on-ball defense and picking up ground balls.
“He’s one of the heartbeats of the defensive side of the ball,” said Savage. “He’s a tremendous communicator and he’s the quarterback of the defense.”
Long-pole midfielder Ronan Morales has been a utility knife for the Vikings, solid on the defensive end while also helping out at the face-off dot.
“He does everything,” said Savage. “He’s a tremendous kid.”
During the season, North Shore moved James Clancy from midfield to attack and the junior has responded well to that change quarterbacking the offensive side of the ball.
“He’s a very smart player,” said Savage. “He does all the little things really well. He’s a great feeder and has a great brain for the game.”
North Shore will close out their regular season against Lynbrook as the Vikings look to finish strong.
“I think we just have to gameplan really hard,” said Savage. “We have to execute and play tough lacrosse.” It has certainly been a challenging season for North Shore, but the Vikings never felt sorry for themselves. They just kept fighting.

Anthony Cimino ripped home seven goals last Saturday as

Injury, food poisoning could not stop athlete
distance after a running approach. Two weeks before last year’s NJCAA championship, Leschinski came across a turbo jav, a training javelin, in the gym.
“I don’t know who put it there,” he said. “I don’t know what happened. It wasn’t ours; it wasn’t the track team’s. So, I took it home with me.”
Leschinski began to experiment with the turbo jav, culminating in a video of himself throwing it a considerable distance. He sent the video to his coach who sent it to Nassau’s athletic director.
“And then,” he said, “they bought me a javelin.”
At the first meet during which Leschinski threw javelin, he qualified for the national championship. He continued to teach himself, using online videos to improve his technique. It has since become one of his favorite track and field events.
There has been a lot of travel involved for Leschinski as he has navigated track and baseball at Suffolk. The college has two campuses, one in Seldon and one in Brentwood. He would often have to go to class in Seldon, head to Brentwood for baseball practice, then go back to Seldon for track practice. When it came to further training for the decathlon, Leschinski and his training partner found themselves at an unaffiliated facility in Holbrook.
“He’s very mature,” said Kim Saladi-
no, Leschinski’s mother. “He’s very disciplined. He’s very focused on his goals in life, which is a great thing
Leschinski explained that he thinks of the decathlon in three categories: sprints, throws, and jumps.
“My coach looked at me, and he was like, ‘Yeah, you throw baseballs very hard, and I’ve seen you’ve been a successful sprinter’,” he said. “So, he basically looked at those and said, ‘Let’s kind of see if we could make something out of that.’”
The decathlon includes a 100-meter sprint, long jump, shot put, high jump, a 400meter sprint, the 110-meter hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and a 1500-meter race. While Leschinski said he disliked events like the high jump because he believes he lacks the required grace to be successful, he particularly enjoys the javelin throw. This is one of his strongest events.
events in which they may be competing. In the chaos, Leschinski missed two javelin throws, which he said was concerning since he was hoping that would get him the most points to move ahead of the competition. It did anyway.
On day one, Leschinski said his calves “knotted up.” He was using IcyHot during the meet to manage the injury. By the time he had to run a relay, it was too late to substitute. He said his coaches told him to just walk the relay.
E verything I do, I have to kind of take really seriously. I can’t just do something for fun.
Gary LEschinski, NJCAA Division III decathlon champion
“It’s just like, ‘Let me see how far I could throw this big pole, this metal object’,” he said. “All the people who do it are really cool. It’s very low stress.”
The decathlon is a two-day event, requiring athletes to continually check in for different elements and any other
“I’m an idiot, so I didn’t do that,” Leschinski said. “I sprinted it, and I ended up going down and not coming up.” He had to be carted off the track that day.
That night, Leschinski’s teammates went to a steakhouse for dinner. He remained at the hotel. Leschinski said he was worried about how could compete on day two.
“I took an ice bath. I took a hot bath. I used compression boots. I was massage gunning. I was stretching,” he said. “For like, three hours that night, I was just doing everything I could just to be able to stand up the next morning.”
On top of the calf injury, Leschinski said he did not sleep well and likely got food poisoning the same night. He met
his coach in the hotel lobby at 5:30 a.m. on the second day of the championship.
“I was like, ‘Listen, this is going to be the hardest thing I’ve ever done’,” Leschinski said. “I was up all night. My stomach was killing me.”
Leschinski’s lower legs had to be wrapped, and instead of wearing spikes which would have made the 110-meter hurdles easier, he wore shoes with more support. Despite the injury, the lack of sleep, and the food poisoning, Leschinski made it through the second day’s events.
“I wasn’t surprised that he forged through,” Saladino said, “because that’s just what he does.”
It ended with the 1500-meter race. The competitor in second place had to beat Leschinski by roughly 30 seconds to make up ground overall. Leschinski won by two hundredths of a second.
“I thought he got me,” he said. “But I dipped at the line, and the moment I went through the line, I knew I won.”
Leschinski is now exploring four-year schools and said he is unsure which coaches to reach out to now that baseball might come second to track. He is also a volunteer firefighter at Glenwood Fire Company.
“Gary has proven himself to be a valuable asset to us here in the Glenwood Hook and Ladder Engine and Hose Company,” Chief Donald Sinski wrote in a statement. “We are very proud of him.”
Returning administrator shares priorities
Macari said. “He is already familiar with North Shore, having served as our interim superintendent before. So, this transition will be seamless since he can hit the ground running.”
Dolan praised North Shore’s faculty and administrators as an “all-star team” and said that Zublionis is leaving the district better than it was when he started as superintendent.
The settlement between Nassau County and Long Island Power Authority Glenwood Landing may cause a loss in revenue for the school district in 202728 greater than it has in previous years. Macari said she is grateful Dolan will be stepping in as the district faces this.
“To know that we have someone who cares so deeply about education while we’re confronted with some really scary things,” she said, “does put my mind at ease.”
When Dolan last served as North Shore’s interim superintendent, he wrote a letter to the community in which he predicted that Covid-19 would no longer present a major problem. He described the letter as “foolish.”
“I’ve learned that you really can’t predict what any given school year is going to hold,” Dolan said. “I don’t know what the challenges are going to be, but we will meet them together and make

for a great year for every single kid.”
Dolan listed a “talented” student body, dedicated and involved parents, and strong academic, extracurricular and athletic programs as reasons he admires the district. He named learning about the board of education’s priorities, catching up on recent occurrences
and getting to know those he has not worked with before as his primary intentions.
Macari said in April that the board hopes to choose a search firm to help find a new superintendent by the end of June and hopes to have a superintendent in place by July 2027.
BELMONT PARK VILLAGE
Interim superintendents are not directly involved in the process of finding a new superintendent. But Macari said she believes that Dolan’s experience may give him insight into what North Shore needs.
“I’d be really open to hearing his ideas,” she said, “on what type of candidate could push our schools or could make our schools even more exceptional.”
When Dolan previously worked at North Shore, he visited all five schools and observed extracurricular activities like theater productions and sports. He called this “management by wandering around” and explained that he does not plan to be confined to his office.
“I like walking around, sticking my head in, seeing what’s going on,” Dolan said. “(I) love asking kids, ‘Hey, what’s up? What’s going on?’ and learning from them.”
Retired North Shore Middle School teacher and resident of the district Rob Hert described the decision to bring Dolan back as “outstanding” in a message to the Herald on Tuesday.
“I have had the privilege of witnessing Dr. Dolan’s superb support for our district in recent years,” Hert wrote. “I have complete confidence that Dr. Dolan will represent North Shore with pride and help sustain North Shore’s vibrant educational culture.”

ear Great Book Guru, I was at Sea Cliff’s latest event- the West End Block Party…such fun. The downtown business area from Matt’s Deli to K.C. Gallagher’s was closed to car traffic on Friday evening. Some of the stores on the other end-among them the Daily Grind (great lobster rolls) joined in the fun. While attending, I heard a group of friends talking about a very short book they had all read…it was about fathers and sons and conflicting memories. Are you familiar with it?
Block Party Fan
Dear Block Party Fan, “Transcription” by Ben Lerner is a fascinating take on how far we can trust our memories. Set in three cities: Providence, Barcelona, and Los Angeles, the novel tells the tales of three men: Thomas – a ninety-year-old esteemed university professor, Max his lawyer son, and the narrator- an unnamed author and former student of Thomas’s and also best friend of Max. The story opens as
our narrator nervously arrives in Providence to interview Thomas. While in the hotel he drops his iPhone and it is destroyed. How will he record and transcribe what are to be Thomas’s last words? He pretends to be recording and soon realizes he will have to interpret/embellish this interview.
In the second section, we are at a memorial service for Thomas where we hear platitude after platitude about his amazing life and talent. Meanwhile in the third section, Max recounts his tortuous relationship with his father, but we soon question his memories of past hurts and injustices. Finally, we see how difficult it is to define a person’s life - whether we have a transcription or a recording, truth remains elusive. A thoughtprovoking novel and highly recommended.

Downtown businesses host block party
By JULIA CAPITELLI jcapitelli@liherald.com
Families, shoppers and Sea Cliff residents filled the west end of Sea Cliff Avenue for a “block party” featuring vendors, live music and outdoor dining Friday night. Local businesses, both on the avenue and elsewhere participated.
K.C. Gallagher’s offered outdoor dining and Sea Cliff businesses located on the avenue including Peace Soap, K. DiResta Collective, Dreams West, the Sea Cliff General Store and Trois Jour Boutique set up booths near Memorial Park. The street was closed from Central Avenue to Summit Avenue.
Trois Jour Boutique Owner Marian Lipiello described organizing the event as a “group effort” between business owners and the village. She added that the event gave her business more exposure.
“I thought it was really great,” Lipiello said. “A lot more people than I expected showed up, and I saw a lot of new faces, a lot of people who didn’t know my shop was there.”
Sol Vibration, the village’s new wellness center founded by Salon Solis Owner Graciela Bustos and Antigone Rising guitarist Cathy Henderson, unveiled its storefront.
Businesses on the east end of Sea Cliff Avenue also stayed open past their typical closing time. The nonprofit Love Your Neighbor Project had its own table. Twin Moon, a local tattoo parlor not located on Sea Cliff Avenue, was also present offering glitter tattoos.
“The community was so excited,” said Laura Bonelli, owner of the Sea Cliff General Store. “It was just what Sea Cliff is about.”
Both Bonelli and Lipiello said that they are interested in holding the event again.

Zucker Med School earns top research ranking
The Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell has been recognized among the nation’s top medical schools for research, earning a Tier 2 designation in the 2026 Best Graduate Schools rankings released by U.S. News & World Report.
The school ranked among the top three in New York and in the top half of medical schools nationwide for research excellence, according to the report.
The recognition comes amid a challenging funding climate for medical research, including reductions in grants from the National Institutes of Health. Research activity now accounts for 60 percent of a school’s overall ranking in the U.S. News methodology, making federal funding levels a critical factor.
Despite those pressures, the Zucker School of Medicine has maintained a strong research performance, supported by its academic programs and institutional partnerships.
U.S. News evaluates research-focused medical schools based on faculty resources, funding and the strength of training programs for physician-scientists. At Zucker, MD/PhD and PhD programs emphasize the study of human disease, translational research and applying scientific discoveries in patient care.
A key component of the school’s research environment is its partnership with Northwell Health, the state’s largest health care provider. The affiliation gives students access to an extensive clinical network, diverse patient populations and advanced research facilities.
“We are incredibly proud that our dedication to impactful research has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report, amidst federal funding challenges,” said David Battinelli, the Deborah and Lawrence Smith dean of the medical school. “This recognition is a testament to our commitment to pioneering discovery.”
Battinelli said students “benefit tremendously” from research opportunities across Northwell’s system,
recognized among
including the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, as well as collaborations with institutions such as Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Since opening 15 years ago, the Zucker School of Medicine has built a reputation for hands-on learning, innovative programming and a strong emphasis on research. Graduates have gone on to match into competitive specialties, including surgery, cardiothoracic surgery, neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery, as well as primary care fields such as internal medicine, pediatrics and
family medicine.
According to a nationwide survey conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, program directors report that Zucker graduates consistently exceed national expectations in professionalism, clinical skills and systems-based practice.
More information about the school and its research programs is available on its website.

Gold Coast Book Fair returns to the hamlet
By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com
The Gold Coast Book Fair will return to downtown Oyster Bay this month with a major expansion, bringing two full days of literary programming, more than 150 authors and a broader slate of family activities to Long Island’s largest literary event.
The festival, organized by the Gold Coast Forum in partnership with the help of the Oyster Bay Main Street Association, is scheduled for May 16 and 17, and will feature author panels, book signings, a vendors market, children’s programming, food trucks and interactive exhibits spread across 11 venues throughout the hamlet.
Former U.S. Rep. Steve Israel, owner of Theodore’s Books and founder of the fair, said this year marks the first time the entire festival will be held in downtown Oyster Bay. In the past, programming has been divided between the downtown and the Long Island University Post campus in Brookville, but attendees have expressed a preference for the events in the hamlet, Israel said, where they have had access to its stores and restaurants in addition to festival offerings.
“LIU has been extremely wonderful, a great partner,” Israel said. “But the feedback we got from festivalgoers is they enjoy the experience of being downtown and shopping local.”
He added that the consolidated layout will make the experience easier for both attendees and organizers. “In the past, people would have to drive to LIU and then Oyster Bay,” Israel said. “Now it’s really one-stop shopping. Also, we don’t need to move books back and forth from the university back to the hamlet, so everything is much more user-friendly for participants.”
The fair has also doubled its author lineup from previous years, according to Israel, with a total of 150 writers
time stage, and we’ve got over a dozen authors and illustrators reading to kids and signing their books.”
Jacqueline Cipolla, executive director of the Oyster Bay Main Street Association, said the expanded event is expected to bring significant foot traffic downtown and expose new visitors to local businesses.
“We’d love this to be a destination event that people come to from all around the area,” Cipolla said. “We feel like the fair is such a good way to boost the economic vitality of the downtown, to get more people here who maybe have not come to Oyster Bay.”
The association, which in previous years has helped with permits and coordination, is taking on a larger operational role this year, according to Cipolla.
The nonprofit is overseeing the logistical operations for the event, coordinating with vendors and organizing the layout of their tents, along with other responsibilities.
in a wider range of genres than ever before. He attributed the growth to increasing national recognition of the event and audience demand for more genres and programming.
“We have more authors and more publishers calling us, asking to be included,” Israel said. “The second reason is popular demand. People have asked for more options in literary genre, more children’s books, young readers’ books and other offerings.”
This year’s festival will feature expanded programming for children and young readers. According to Israel, this year the event is introducing a dedicated children’s stage with readings and signings by more than a dozen authors and illustrators.
“There’s going to be all sorts of children’s crafts, vendors, play,” he said. “We’re going to do a children’s story-
The festival will feature interactive exhibits from local libraries and media organizations. “There also is this big story-time tent we’re doing,” Cipolla said. “So during both days, there’ll be children’s authors coming and sharing and doing a story time for the kids.”
FourLeaf Federal Credit Union, the festival’s lead sponsor, wrote in a statement that its involvement reflects its commitment to literacy and education initiatives across Long Island.
“Events such as the Gold Coast Book Festival align closely with FourLeaf’s broader commitment to literacy, education, and community enrichment,” Morgan Ford, the credit union’s public relations and crisis content specialist, stated. “We are always looking for meaningful ways to support organizations that advance literacy efforts within the communities we serve.”
A complete list of authors and event schedules, along with other information, is available at the Gold Coast Forum website, GoldCoastForum.org.

STEPPING OUT
A garden invites children to take part in nurturing life and understanding the outcomes of their choices. When things don’t go as planned, it becomes a valuable space to build resilience, accept outcomes and try again.
Planting seeds of wonder
By Karen Bloom
One of the most meaningful things you can grow in a garden isn’t a flower or a vegetable — it’s a lifelong gardener. With summer on the horizon, outdoor spaces begin to feel like an extension of home, creating a natural setting for families to connect, explore and unwind.
For children, the benefits of gardening go far beyond getting a little dirt under their nails. A growing body of research links hands-on gardening to improved physical health, emotional well-being and even stronger academic performance. Add in the value of family time, and it’s easy to see why more parents and grandparents are heading outside together.
Let curiosity lead
The key to success? A little flexibility — and a lot of patience.
When gardening with kids, be prepared to pivot. Adults may focus on neat rows and finished results, but children are often drawn to discovery. That carefully planned planting activity might pause for a closer look at a grasshopper or a worm—and that’s okay. Lean into their curiosity. Use those moments as opportunities to teach, connect and nurture a sense of wonder.
At its core, gardening with children is about building positive associations. If they leave the garden feeling curious, happy and engaged, you’ve done it right — and they’ll be eager to return.
America
Following a sold-out run of shows for their 55th anniversary, America is on the road again. Known for their timeless tunes, the Grammy-winning band draws on their deep catalog of hits, including their signature song, “Horse With No Name,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1972. America — Gerry Buckley and Dewey Bunnell — met in while attending school in London, along with Dan Peek, while their Air Force fathers were stationed there. The band is also the subject of a new documentary, “I Need You: 53 Years Of The Band America,” which takes audiences backstage as Beckley and Bunnell privately say goodbye to a lifetime together on the road. Beckley remains an active band member but retired from touring in 2024, while America continues to tour with Bunnell at the helm. America’s audiences continue to grow, bearing testament to their enduring appeal.
Friday, May 15, 8 p.m. Tilles Center, LIU Post campus, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com or tillescenter.org or (516) 299-3100.
Life lessons in the garden
Dig, plant, repeat
Giving kids a say in what they grow can also make a big difference. While it helps to include a few easy, reliable plants, don’t shy away from their creative choices. Whether it’s beets, roses or bright petunias, that sense of ownership encourages them to stay involved. And remember, gardening doesn’t require a large backyard — containers on a porch, balcony or windowsill can be just as rewarding.
It’s also important to choose projects that fit your family’s lifestyle. Consider your children’s ages and abilities, along with your time, space and budget. Setting realistic expectations helps ensure the experience remains enjoyable rather than overwhelming.
And don’t underestimate the simple joy of digging. For many kids, that’s the highlight. Designating a small “dig zone” in the garden allows them to explore freely — searching for worms, examining soil and engaging their senses — while protecting more delicate plantings.
Many hands, one garden
Creating a welcoming, joyful environment is essential. Early, positive experiences in nature can foster a lasting sense of responsibility for the world around them. Encourage participation and small responsibilities, but avoid turning gardening into a chore. Let children engage at their own pace, and respect their comfort levels when it comes to touching, tasting or smelling plants.
If you’re gardening with multiple children, think about ways to make the experience inclusive. Collaborative tasks — one child digging, another adding soil, another placing a plant — can keep everyone involved and invested.
Equally valuable is unstructured time. Allow kids to simply be in the garden without a set agenda. Those quiet moments of observation and self-directed play often spark the deepest connections to nature.
Finally, don’t forget to enjoy it yourself. Children take cues from the adults around them, and your enthusiasm can be contagious. When they see your genuine appreciation for gardening, they’re far more likely to develop their own.
Because in the end, the real harvest isn’t just what grows in the soil — it’s the love of nature that grows alongside it.
Wallflowers
The Wallflowers mark the 30th anniversary of their breakthrough album “Bringing Down the Horse” on their latest tour, with a special full-album performance at the Paramount, presenting the record in sequence from start to finish. Originally released in 1996, the album became a defining success of the decade, reaching No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and going quadruple platinum. It produced a string of major hits, including “6th Avenue Heartache,” “The Difference,” and the Grammy-winning “One Headlight,” which topped the Billboard Hot 100 and remains one of the era’s most recognizable rock singles. Led by songwriter Jakob Dylan, the band draws on classic American rock influences such as The Band and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers — a legacy echoed in the tour’s additional tribute segment to Petty, including a full performance of the 1982 album Long After Dark.
Saturday, May 16, 7:30 p.m. The Paramount, 370 New York Ave., Huntington. Tickets available at ticketmaster.com or paramountny.com.

Long Island marathon draws runners from all over
By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com
Runners from near and far hit the pavement in Eisenhower Park this weekend for the Jovia Financial Credit Union Long Island Marathon, drawing thousands of athletes, families, foodies and more for a celebration of endurance, community and local connection.
Festivities kicked off with a 5K Family Fun Run on May 1, followed by a 10K and 1K Kids Fun Run on May 2 and the halfmarathon and marathon on May 3. Each race began, and ended, in East Meadow’s Eisenhower Park.
Not only is the marathon a premier sporting event in Nassau County and an economic generator for the area, but a great source of community entertainment outside of the races. A food truck festival ran all weekend, along with a full line up of music entertainment at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in the park. The marathon, which celebrated its 53rd year, has been sponsored by Jovia Financial Credit Union for the last decade.
Over 4,000 runners participated in the weekend’s festivities.
“The Marathon Weekend brings together people from all over the globe,” race director Corey Roberts remarked of the festivities in a news release. “I cannot thank Jovia enough for continuing their support as the title sponsor of the marathon.”
Peter Purpura, vice president of business development at Jovia Financial Credit Union, explained that the race has served as a great way for the company to get to know the Long Island community. At the race, he said, Jovia gets to interact with thousands of runners, each who has a unique story to tell.
“I think our partnership with this event is really relevant,” he said at a previous race preview event. “We’ve been in the community for 85 years now, serving our members, and they trust us for a variety of financial needs. Similar to the runners, they come to us with a number of different reasons, and some of them are good, some of them are bad. But no matter what, our staff is always looking to greet them and get them to their next mile.”
The top finishers in the men’s marathon included Scott Bickard, 37 of Bethpage; Demir Degirmenci, 24 of Forest Hills;
Runners came down the final stretch of the race path during the Long Island Marathon Weekend in Eisenhower
and Raphael Archer, 28 of Port Chester. The top three finishers in the women’s marathon included Grace Garvey, 25 of New York City, Rebecca Arbitman, 17 of Roslyn; and Samathna Augeri, 43 of Rockville Centre.
Garvey spoke with the Herald at the conclusion of the race and said she didn’t realize she was as far ahead of other runners as she was. Pacers on a bicycle were guiding her towards the finish line, but still, she said, “I thought there was a really big
gap between me and person that was in first.”
“I am extremely, extremely thankful,” she said, reflecting on the performance. “I was injured this past year, so I was in a lot of recovery, so to be able to come out and perform the way that I did — it was amazing.”
Garvey corssed the finish line at 3 hours, 6 minutes and 55 seconds.
The 26.2-mile race began and ended near Eisenhower Park’s Field 5. Runners headed west, leaving the park on Merrick Ave-
nue, and then turned toward Garden City on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard. The race looped back toward East Meadow, and runners then headed north and east through Salisbury, around the perimeter of Eisenhower Park, before reentering the park near Carmen Avenue.
The half marathon followed the same path — but completed only one loop of the entire course instead of two. As runners crossed the finish line, they were cheered on by grandstands full of supporters.
Jenna Vallone, 21 of Massapequa, completed her first halfmarathon. She turned to running as a way to stay in shape while away at college, and improve her mental health. Her training began a year ago, and she expressed gratitude for her family and friends that supported the journey. She completed the race in just under 2-hours.
“You can do hard things,” she said. “You only have one life and I want to spend it working hard and being grateful.”
Jenna Vallone is the younger sister of the Herald’s deputy managing editor, Jordan Vallone. Additional reporting by Tim Baker.

Protecting Oyster Bay’s waters for future generations
As spring returns, so, too, does a renewed sense of responsibility for the natural treasures that define our community.
Our waterways — harbors, bays and shorelines — are not only central to our identity, but vital to our environment and economy. Protecting them isn’t a seasonal task; it’s a year-round commitment. Spring, however, offers a visible reminder — and an opportunity for all of us to take part.
One of the most promising and innovative efforts now underway is our kelp cultivation program. This winter, as in years past, kelp lines were carefully planted at key marina locations, including Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Park, Tappen Beach and Tobay Beach, as well as in the Oyster Bay Harbor and Cold Spring Harbor Conservation Management Areas. These underwater farms grow quietly through the colder months, reaching their peak just as spring arrives, when they are harvested.
The results speak for themselves. Since the program began, the town has successfully cultivated more than 3,000
feet of kelp — roughly the length of 10 football fields. This is more than an impressive statistic; it represents a meaningful step forward in water quality improvement. Kelp absorbs excess nitrogen and carbon dioxide, helping to combat pollution and ocean acidification while supporting marine ecosystems.
This work wouldn’t be possible without strong partnerships. We are proud to collaborate with organizations such as Friends of the Bay, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the state Department of Environmental Conservation and our local baymen. Their expertise, dedication and shared vision strengthen every aspect of this initiative. Together we are demonstrating how cooperation among government, environmental groups and industry can produce real results.
With solid partners, we’re cultivating kelp and restoring shellfish populations.
Shellfish play a critical role in maintaining water quality. A single oyster or clam can filter up to 50 gallons of water per day, removing impurities and improving clarity. By restoring these populations, we are not only supporting marine life, but also strengthening the local shellfishing industry, an important economic driver with deep roots in our community.
Environmental stewardship and economic growth are not opposing goals; they are interconnected. A cleaner harbor supports tourism, recreation and commerce, and ensures that future generations can enjoy the same natural beauty we value today. That’s why we encourage residents to do their part by reducing fertilizer use, properly disposing of waste and being mindful of what enters our storm drains and waterways.
Equally important is engaging in our community — especially our young people. Environmental protection is strongest when it is shared. That’s why we have invested in outreach programs that invite residents to take part in meaningful activities. From harbor cleanups and recycling events to Marine Education Days, dune-stabilization projects and environmental poster contests, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved.
I encourage residents to volunteer, and bring their families, because small actions add up to meaningful change. These programs do more than educate; they inspire. They help young residents understand that their actions matter, and that they have a role in shaping our future. That sense of ownership is essential to long-term success.
But our efforts don’t stop with kelp. We are currently planning and designing a new shellfish hatchery that will significantly expand our capacity to restore oyster and clam populations. Once completed, this facility is expected to produce an additional 40 million to 60 million shellfish seeds annually — a transformative investment in the health of our waterways.
Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our waterways. The town has taken significant steps to reduce its carbon footprint by improving energy efficiency in municipal operations and encouraging conservation in the private sector. Residents can join us by embracing energy-saving practices at home and supporting local environmental initiatives.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on building on this progress. Whether it’s expanding kelp cultivation, advancing shellfish restoration or strengthening community engagement, our mission is clear: to preserve and protect our natural resources for generations to come.
Spring is a season of renewal, and here in the Town of Oyster Bay it’s also a season of action. Together we can make a difference — above and below the water’s surface.

Preparing students to succeed in L.I.’s creative economy
Last month, five students from Long Island High School for the Arts advanced from regional competition to the SkillsUSA state championships in an impressive showcase of career readiness and leadership ability. Two went on to win bronze for their work in digital cinema production. If you watched the LIHSA students present their work, explain their creative choices and demonstrate their technical skill, one thing was clear: These young people aren’t simply pursuing their passions, but are diligently preparing to enter Long Island’s thriving creative economy.
According to the Center for an Urban Future’s 2025 report, “Sustaining Long Island’s Creative Spark,” employment in Long Island’s arts and culture sector grew 21.6 percent from 2014 to 2024, compared with overall job growth in the region of just 4.1 percent. During that
same period, the number of independent artists on Long Island nearly doubled, and nonprofit arts and culture organizations generated more than $330 million in annual economic activity, according to the Long Island Arts Alliance.
I invite Long Island families to consider the growing promise of creative industries.
The creative economy is trending upward at the national level, too. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’ most recently reported data attests that arts and cultural economic activity increased 6.6 percent in 2023, more than double the 2.8 percent increase of the prior year. It accounted for 4.2 percent of the nation’s GDP in 2023, and supported 5.4 million jobs.
As district superintendent and CEO of Nassau BOCES, where our mission includes a focus on vocational career training, I am thrilled that SkillsUSA — the nation’s top workforce-development organization for students — has recognized rigorous arts education for what it is: vital preparation for real careers.
And yet there is still a lingering perception that arts education is somehow less practical than other vocational tracks, like those in health care, con-
struction, automotive technology and computer science — pathways that matter deeply. And concerns about the arts often come from a good place. Families want stability for their children. School leaders want to prepare students for real opportunity. But those goals aren’t at odds with arts education.
Students pursuing design, animation, digital media, filmmaking, music and performance are building specific and transferable skills that have value in today’s world. They are learning how to create under pressure, revise based on feedback, collaborate with others, communicate clearly and produce work for an audience. They are also learning industry tools and technology while building portfolios that make them competitive college applicants and open doors to conservatory training and professional employment.
For Nassau BOCES, this is evident at LIHSA and among the school’s alumni, who have gone on to study at Juilliard, the Parsons School of Design and the Boston Conservatory at Berklee and to work for employers ranging from The
New Yorker to the Metropolitan Opera. I offer LIHSA as an example, but this isn’t about one school. I invite Long Island families, educators and public officials to re-examine the full range of career pathways that lead to meaningful work in today’s evolving economy and consider the growing promise of creative industries.
We are quick to guide students who want to become nurses, engineers or electricians toward those programs of study. We should be just as ready to do the same for students who want to work in design, media or the performing arts.
The five LIHSA students currently advancing through the national rankings at SkillsUSA remind us of something important — talent matters, but so does training and opportunity.
If our region is serious about economic growth, we should prepare our students accordingly and not ignore the creative sector, which is outpacing overall job growth by a factor of five to one. Long Island has built strong pipelines into other trades. We owe our young artists, performers and producers the same counseling, the same investment, and the same expectation of success.

May 19 decisions carry outsized local impact
long Islanders will be asked to make decisions on May 19 that quietly but profoundly shape their communities. From Amityville to Valley Stream and from Oyster Bay to Massapequa, voters will head to the polls to weigh in on public school district budgets, elect Board of Education trustees and, in several cases, decide funding for their local libraries.
These are not minor matters. Yet year after year, school district elections draw strikingly low turnout and are often decided by a small fraction of eligible voters. More often than not, only 5 to 10 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. That disconnect is hard to justify given the outsized influence these votes have on taxes, educational quality, public services and overall community health.
School budgets determine far more than what happens inside the classroom. They shape the volume of opportunities available to students — from arts and music programs to athletics and extracurricular activities — as well as spending on classroom instruction, staff salaries, employee benefits, school operations, transportation and specialized programs. The budgets, proposed by local school boards and voted on by residents, dictate the allocation of local property taxes, state aid and federal funding.
In districts where library budgets are on the ballot, these votes also impact access to books, technology, program-
ming and community space for residents of all ages.
Equally important are the elections for Board of Education trustees. These individuals are not figureheads; they are elected officials responsible for setting district policy, hiring and evaluating the superintendent, and establishing the annual budget. They ensure compliance with state education laws, manage district property and represent the community’s interests.
Their choices influence curriculum, long-term planning and how effectively taxpayer dollars are managed. The direction of a school district for years to come can hinge on who fills these seats. What makes these elections especially significant is how much can turn on so few votes. In many Long Island communities, multimillion-dollar spending plans and major capital projects are approved or rejected by narrow margins. A relative handful of ballots can alter the outcome. That reality means that every vote carries real weight, much more than in higher-profile elections where margins often stretch into the thousands or millions.
The 2006-07 Baldwin School District budget passed by only five votes. Last May, the Shelter Island School District spending plan fell just 40 votes short of the required 60 percent supermajority needed to pierce the state tax cap, A year earlier, only a few of Long Island’s 124 school districts, including Sachem and
West Babylon, had their budgets rejected. It is also a mistake to view these elections as relevant only to parents of school-aged children. Strong public schools are a cornerstone of vibrant communities. They help sustain property values, attract families, support local businesses and contribute to a shared sense of stability and pride. Libraries, too, serve as essential civic hubs, offering educational resources, workforce support and cultural programming that benefit entire neighborhoods.
Participation in these elections is not complicated, but it does require intention. Voters should take time to review the proposed budgets and any referendums, understand what is at stake and, if possible, attend public hearings or information sessions. These forums provide valuable insight into how decisions are made and where priorities lie. Most important, residents must show up. Local democracy is strongest when it reflects the voices of the many, not the few. When turnout is low, decisions that affect entire communities are left in the hands of a limited group of voters, weakening the representative nature of the process.
May 19 may not carry the fanfare of a national election, but its consequences are immediate and tangible. Those who participate will shape the future of Long Island’s schools, libraries and neighborhoods. That alone should be reason enough to make voting a priority.

Battery energy storage isn’t just an experiment. It works.
i’m a Long Islander. This place is more than where I live; it’s part of who I am. My bacon, egg and cheese comes from L.I. Bagel Cafe. Growing up, I spent summers at Tobay with my family, and now I spend beach days in Long Beach with my own kids. We take day trips to the East End, both the North and South forks, and we explore quaint villages along the North Shore. Life here is incredible. The cultural capital of the world is a short train ride away, and we have some of the best public schools in the country. It’s hard to want for more.
But every month I open the electric bill and feel a little less sure we can afford to stay.
Mine isn’t a unique story. Long Island has some of the highest electricity costs in the country, and the bills keep climbing. All of my high school friends have moved away for various reasons, but a common denominator is the high cost
of living here. This is the conversation taking place at every kitchen table from Mineola to Montauk.
So when I read another op-ed in this paper warning about battery energy storage on Long Island — usually framed as something foreign, risky or driven by outsiders — I get frustrated. Because the people writing those pieces don’t seem to be looking at the bill in my mailbox. And they don’t seem to be reading what New York’s grid operator has been saying.
i work in clean energy because I believe in combating climate change.
In October, the New York Independent System Operator, the independent nonprofit that runs the state’s electric grid, warned that reliability margins on Long Island are projected to fall short beginning in 2027 unless new resources come online. A follow-up report a few weeks later warned of “significant reliability shortfalls” across the state within the next decade if planning and investment don’t accelerate now. Here’s what battery storage actually does about it. When demand on the grid spikes, like on a brutal August afternoon or during a cold snap in February,
Framework by Tim Baker
the system has to call on its most expensive resources to keep the lights on. On Long Island, that means firing up old fossil fuel-run peaking power plants that operate only a handful of days a year, but cost LIPA customers close to half a billion dollars annually to keep on standby.
A study found that replacing a meaningful share of Long Island’s peaker plants with energy storage could save LIPA customers nearly $400 million while improving air quality across the Island.
Energy storage is how you avoid that cost. Batteries charge when power is cheap and abundant — overnight, on windy days, when the new offshore wind projects start delivering — and discharge when the grid is stretched thin. Instead of paying premium prices for premium peaker power, ratepayers get the cheaper electricity the batteries stored earlier.
Battery storage isn’t a climate luxury or an experiment. Texas has already built hundreds of projects that are operating today, saving ratepayers money and steadying the grid. New York shouldn’t wait. Battery storage is cheaper to build than new power plants or transmission lines, it strengthens grid reliability, and it eases the pressure on monthly electric bills. It’s safe and effective and a common-sense answer to the affordability and reliability problems families are living with right now.
The opposition to storage on Long Island has been loud, but they are spreading misinformation. The case for it deserves to be heard too, by the people who actually live here and pay these bills, rooted in facts and not baseless claims that ignore the science.
Nick Guariglia is an advocacy manager of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance, a project of the Alliance for Clean Energy New York.
I work in this field. I’m an advocacy manager for the Alliance for Clean Energy New York, so people sometimes assume I’m pushing storage because of where I work. The truth is the opposite. I work in clean energy because I believe in the science that is behind combating climate change, and I want my children to have a better environment to live, play and raise their families in. The added benefit of the work I do is helping my family not get priced out of living on Long Island.
