Group home opens in G.C.By MIKE CoNN
Across St. Andrews Lane from
the Nassau Country Club and a
block north of the Glen Cove
train station sits a large two-sto-
ry home. Made of brick and sur-
rounded by a picket fence and
lush trees, it fits in perfectly with
the rest of the neighborhood. But
it is no longer just one of the
homes in the area, because it
now houses a Monte Nido group
home for men and women with
eating disorders, a development
that has concerned some Glen
Cove residents for over a year.
The City Council unanimous-
ly rejected Monte Nido’s proposal
for a group home at 1 St.
Andrews Lane in February 2018.
Shortly after, the company, which
specializes in the treatment of
eating disorders and is based in
Miami, appealed to the New York
State Office of Mental Health in
an effort to establish the home
under the state’s Padavan Law,
which states that communities
cannot prevent the creation of
group homes.
The state ruled in Monte
Nido’s favor last May, and the
home was renovated. Its interior
was rearranged so it could house
more than a dozen live-in
patients, and an employee park-
ing lot was built in the front yard.

FElICIA ARCUlEo AND her son, Robert Hendriks, before he left for Afghanistan, at what she said
was his “see you later party.”
A son who was always a heroMarine Cpl. Robert A. Hendriks, 1994-2019BY lAURA lANE
Felicia Arculeo received an
email on April 8, 2011, saying
that her then 17-year-old son,
Robert Hendriks, had helped
a much younger student
whom he found standing in
the dark in front of Locust
Valley High School. The
8-year-old boy had been wait-
ing for 45 minutes for a ride
home after a lacrosse prac-
tice. Hendriks asked him if he
was lost, and offered to let
him use his phone.
The boy’s mother wanted
the district to know about
Hendriks’s good deed. The
subject line of the email read,
“Hero at LV High School.”
Eight years later to the day,
Cpl. Robert Hendriks, 25, a
Marine reservist, was killed
in Afghanistan with two other
reservists, Staff Sgt. Christo-
pher K.A. Slutman, 43, and
Sgt. Benjamin S. Hines, 31,
when their convoy was hit by
a roadside bomb.
The date, which once gave
Arculeo so much pride and
joy, is now cause for gut-
wrenching grief.
“I didn’t realize about the
date until last week,” she said,
sobbing. “Even then, they
knew he was a hero. It’s just
one example of who he was.
Robby was always there for
everyone.”
Hendriks, who was born in
Glen Cove, was connected in a
variety of ways to the North
Shore. His father, Erik Hen-
driks, lives in Glenwood

Landing, and his family lives in Glen
Head. The family moved to Locust Valley
when Robert was 2. He attended Locust
Valley schools, and played lacrosse in
middle and high school. Describing her
son as an “effortless B student,” Arculeo
said that he liked the social aspect of
school. “Robby was a boy’s boy,” she said.
“He was always tough.”
And he was a frequent patient at the
emergency room. “His collarbone was
sticking out when he fell off his bike, but
he never cried,” Arculeo recalled. “Anoth-
er time, when he hit his head on the iron
gate in our house, the doctor had to put
staples in it. She didn’t have the right tool
when it was time to take the staples out,
so she used needle-nose pliers. Robby gri-
maced, but he never cried.”
But he was also the “mushy one, the
sensitive one,” Arculeo said. He and his
younger brother, Joseph, were very close.
Joseph, who was also a Marine, had just
arrived in Afghanistan to begin his tour
when his brother was killed.
As boys, they often played Army.
“Robby and Jojo played with G.I. Joe and
toy guns from when they were in dia-
pers,” their mother said. “I always knew
that the boys were going to go into the ser-
vice.”
In school, Robby was the type of boy
whom other children looked up to, Arcu-
leo said. “He had his head on his shoul-
ders and always did the right thing,” she
said. “He had a lot of friends, even though
he wasn’t a jock or a Science Olympiad.
Robby was a normal all-around boy.”
Seamus Fallon, 18, the president of the
LVHS student government, said that a fel-
low senior, Mathew Passero, looked up to
Hendriks. “Matt said it was crazy that
something can happen like this to some-
one from so close to home,” Fallon said.
“Robby was always a role model for Matt.
He enlisted in the Marines.”
Asked if Hendriks personified in any
way what the district instills in students,
Fallon quickly said yes. “We’re taught
leadership and perseverance, and that we
can leave school and do something big-
ger,” he said. “He walked around the same
halls as us. I wish Robert Hendriks could
have been in the news for another rea-
son.”
LVHS Principal Patrick DiClemente
said that Hendriks was impressive, kind,
had a passion for service and was com-
mitted to friends, family and country. “As
a school community,” DiClemente said,
“we understand that we’re all able to be
here today, to live our lives, and to have
opportunities and experiences each day
due to the sacrifices that have been made
by Marine Cpl. Robert Hendricks and
other Americans serving in our armed
forces.”
Hendriks was a construction worker in
Local 731 before he was deployed. Arculeo
described her son as a “grunt” who
installed gas lines in Queens. Although
Arculeo moved to Freeport when she
remarried, Hendriks remained in Oyster
Bay, living in an apartment.
Joining the Marines Reserves after
high school, he was a member of the 2nd
Battalion, 25th Marine Regiment, based in
Garden City. He was deployed to Afghani-
stan last October, and was supposed to
come home in June.
Arculeo said she texted her son every
day and spoke to him once a week when
he was in Afghanistan. “I’d be lying there
with the phone next to me in the middle
of the night because of the time change,
either texting or talking to Robby,” she
recounted.
The last time she heard from him was
the day before he was killed. They shared
their usual “good morning,” she said, and
the number 3, a code they created when
Robert was a boy that meant “I love you.”
Hendriks is being honored by the
Locust Valley School District, with the
support of its booster club, Falcon Pride,
and the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers
Foundation. The United States Marine
Cpl. Robert A. Hendriks Memorial
Scholarship will be presented to a
deserving senior who plans to enter the
military and exemplifies the traits Hen-
driks displayed as a student at the
Senior Academic & Community Awards
Ceremony on May 30.
Mike Watson, a partner at Van Buren
Buick GMC in Garden City Park, is a 1983
LVHS graduate. His daughter and Joseph
Hendriks were friends in high school.
When his daughter told him that Joseph’s
brother had been killed in Afghanistan
Watson wanted to do something to help.
He called Frank Siller, of the Tunnel to
Towers Foundation, a nonprofit that
builds “smart homes” for soldiers who
return home gravely injured, and pro-
vides financial support in the form of
trust accounts and mortgage payments to
the wife and children left behind by those
who have lost their life in the line of duty.
Siller didn’t know what he could do to
help since Robert had not been married.
Watson reminded Siller that he had
donated to his foundation last year, and
requested that he do something for the
Hendriks family.
“[Frank] offered to donate money for
the scholarship and gave $25,000,” Watson
said. “Van Buren matched it, and I man-
aged to get an additional $5,000 from a few
friends.”
Then he got in touch with the Falcon
Pride Athletic Booster Club, asking it to
take charge of the annual $1,000 scholar-
ship. Arculeo has agreed to read the can-
didates’ essays and help choose the win-
ner.
She has many memories of her son,
she said, as well as mementos of how spe-
cial he was. In January, he sent her flow-
ers and a small ceramic white bird for her
birthday. The card read, “Happy Birthday.
Hope this at least gave you a smile. As
annoying as you are with all the ques-
tions you ask I still love you. LOL. I know
you just worry, are proud and do every-
thing you can for me. 3. — Robby”

Northwell rated number two health system for diversity
Northwell Health, the medical compa-
ny that owns Glen Cove Hospital, has been
named one of the nation’s top health sys-
tems for diversity, ranking second nation-
ally and first in New York, according to
DiversityInc’s top Hospitals & Health Sys-
tems for Diversity list.
New York’s largest health system and
employer, Northwell made the list for the
seventh straight year, jumping up the
rankings from fifth place a year ago.
DiversityInc’s extensive annual survey
yields an empirically driven ranking
based on talent results in the workforce
and management, senior leadership
accountability, talent programs, work-
place practices, philanthropy and supplier
diversity.
This is the second such honor in recent
months for Northwell Health, which was
named a Fortune Best Workplace for
Diversity. Northwell ranks 80th on the
annual 100 Best Workplaces for Diversity
List, a partnership between Fortune and
Great Place to Work that measures how
well organizations create inclusive cul-
tures for women, different cultural and
ethnic communities, the LGBTQ commu-
nity, older employees and workers with
disabilities.
DiversityInc’s recognition reaffirms
Northwell’s approach to being representa-
tive and inclusive of all of the communi-
ties that the health system and its 68,000
employees serve.
The latest DiversityInc rankings reflect
new metrics tied to questions that connect
talent programs and workplace practices
to desired talent results. The analysis also
addressed the intersectionality of race by
analyzing female and male representation
of each race and ethnicity separately, rath-
er than combined. Northwell health also
was ranked in the top 50 employers recog-
nized for fostering an inclusive work place
for members of the LGBT community. The
2019 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies event
was held in Manhattan on May 7.

6 What’s neWs in and out of the classroom
HERALD SCHOOLS
By Mike Conn
Now that a proposed budget for
the Glen Cove City School District’s
2019-20 school year has been passed
by the Board of Education, it is up to
residents to decide on whether or not
it will be adopted.
The budget is approximately $91.3
million. Roughly $75.7 million — per-
cent — would go toward programs,
$8.1 million — percent — will go
toward capital projects and $7.4 mil-
lion — percent — would go toward
administrative costs. The district will
also see a 1.99 percent increase in its
tax levy — the amount of money the
district will collect in taxes from tax-
payers — an increase of roughly $1.4
million.
If the budget passes, one of the
biggest changes coming to the dis-
trict would be the institution of a
nine-period day at Glen Cove High
School. This would allow students to
take on additional coursework while
also providing them with a mandated
lunch period. Students in need of
extra help would be able to take addi-
tional classes to aid them in specific
subjects. In doing so, the district
would hire five to seven new teach-
ers, some of whom may be part-time.
The district would also continue
to work toward increasing security
throughout all of its buildings. The
high school is set to receive a new
booth for its security officers, and
new cameras will be installed at all
of the schools. Lockdown systems
will also be installed at GCHS, Grib-
bin and Landing Elementary schools.
The district also aims to replace the
roof at Landing and install a new PA
system at Deasy Elementary School.
At the polls, voters will also be
prompted to vote on a proposition —
the establishment of a capital
reserve, which would be used to set
aside funds for the purpose of
improving school facilities without
drawing money from the budget. If
voted into place, all expenditures
coming from the capital reserve
would have to be approved by voters
in the future before they could be
enacted.
Residents will have a chance to
vote on the budget, as well as the
establishment of a capital reserve
fund and who will fill the two open
seats on the Board of Education, on
May 21.

A BReAkDoWn oF the amount and purpose of each portion of the Glen Cove City School
District’s 2019-2020 proposed budget.
Some concern over Monte Nido locationThe facility opened on May 8, but sev-
eral residents remain concerned. Nancy
Hawkins, an associate real estate broker
at Sotheby’s International Realty in
Locust Valley, addressed the City Council
at an April 23 meeting. She said that the
group home violates city zoning code.
After the meeting, Hawkins claimed that,
since Monte Nido is a for-profit organiza-
tion, the facility is technically a busi-
ness. According to the city zoning map,
the house is in an R-2 district, where only
residential homes are allowed. Business-
es are relegated to one of the city’s four
commercial districts.
“We have specific codes in place
against operating a business in a resi-
dential neighborhood in Glen Cove,”
Hawkins said. “This is not a group home,
this a commercial treatment center, and
they are not adhering to the codes we
have in place in Glen Cove.”
The construction of the parking lot on
the property is a big issue as well, she
added, because, according to city code,
parking lots cannot be paved on residen-
tial property. She said she welcomed
group homes in Glen Cove, but not when
they violate zoning laws.
Jennifer Gallagher, chief development
officer at Monte Nido, said the facility
falls under the Padavan Law, and thus is
legally no different from any other home
in the neighborhood. “Our program,
which is licensed as a community resi-
dence under the Padavan Law, is consid-
ered a residential use,” Gallagher said.
“That statement has been supported by
the commissioner of the Office of Men-
tal Health, and then further supported by
a State Supreme Court ruling.”
Some of the home’s neighbors are
concerned about how it might affect
their lives. Sue Corbo, who lives across
the street on Highland Road, said she has
come to terms with the facility’s pres-
ence, although she thinks “they’re in the
wrong spot.”
In late April, Corbo said, a truck work-
ing on the parking lot ripped up the
grass in front of her house, turning it
into a patch of dirt, which turns into
mud when it rains. Gallagher said she
was unaware of the incident, and that
Corbo could contact her about fixing the
problem. On May 14, Corbo called the
Herald Gazette to say that Gallagher was
working on it.
Liz McLanahan’s home is the only one
adjacent to the Monte Nido house. She
said that she supports treatment for peo-
ple with eating disorders — and that one
of her best friends from high school
spent years undergoing such treatment
— but she worried that the group home’s
opening might lead to the establishment
of other businesses in the area.
McLanahan claimed that the for-profit
use of the Monte Nido house does not fall
under the Padavan Law. “Philosophically,
this is a test case for what the Padavan
Law is for and what it should be for,” she
said. She emphasized that she and her
neighbors support people who would
receive treatment in the house; they just
don’t want the neighborhood to be
exploited by corporations.
In response, Gallagher said that law
covers all kinds of community residenc-
es, not just nonprofits. She added that
Monte Nido’s patients and employees
would have no negative effects on the
neighborhood. “We act as respectful
neighbors,” Gallagher said. “We don’t
park on Highland Road or St. Andrews.
We keep our lighting consistent with res-
idential lighting. We will have no signage
there. We will be parking our staff in our
parking area.”
The patients are typically very quiet,
she said, and the parking lot will be buff-
ered by a row of trees.
In response to residents’ complaints
— and their request that Monte Nido’s
building permit be revoked — the Glen
Cove Zoning Board scheduled a public
hearing at City Hall on Thursday at
7:30 p.m.

Glen Cove tops V.S. NorthBy J.D. FReDa
The Lady Big Red trotted off a late-
arriving bus at Valley Stream North High
School on May 8 with no hitches in its
game and a lot of confidence. Seven
innings later and behind a fantastic out-
ing from starting pitcher Kristen Sita and
stellar defensive play, the Lady Big Red
took a 14-4 softball victory over the Lady
Spartans.
Sita started and finished the game,
pitching seven full innings, allowing only
five hits and three earned runs. Sita’s stel-
lar outing is a welcome sight for her
coaches, as the freshman is making big
leaps in improvement at an opportune
point of her high school softball career.
“We’re giving her a lot of opportunity, a
lot of innings, and she’s just getting stron-
ger and better with the experience,” Glen
Cove coach Angela Zupa said. “She
pitched great in eighth grade, so we knew
bringing her up that she had potential.”
Although Sita pitched an objectively
great game, Glen Cove’s increasingly infa-
mous defensive abilities led by its middle
infielders Jaynise Espinal and Micaela
Costello reared its head throughout the
game and kept Sita ahead. “Our defense is
great, now we have a pitcher that could
show us what we really can do,” Glen Cove
assistant coach Kim Kessel said.
“Their infield is good, I don’t think they
made a single error. That hurt us,” VSN
coach Dan Tronolone said.
Valley Stream North started the game
in the right direction, pushing three runs
across in the bottom half of the opening
frame. Ashley Toma drew a walk with one
out, stole second on the next pitch, which
then led to a Jillian Cosme RBI double.
Victoria Rossetti followed that up with an
RBI triple and later came home off of an
error. An added run in the bottom of the
third would be the only other offense Val-
ley Stream North could mount.
A multitude of members of Glen
Cove’s lineup got involved early and often
in this one. Espinal went 3-for-5 including
an RBI double that bounced just inches
from the top of the wall in the outfield.
Emily Villar had a perfect day, collecting
five hits in as many at-bats. Angela
McCarthy belted an RBI double in the top
of the fifth to bring the lead to 9.
Valley Stream North’s starting pitcher
was freshman Isabella Matura. She
showed glimpses of quality stretches, but
the experienced Glen Cove lineup was too
much for the underclassman in this
matchup. Rossetti came in to relieve in the
top of the sixth, and held the surging Big
Red offense to just 1 run in 6 outs.
“I told them to keep battling late, let’s
get runners on base and get to the top of
our order to drive them in,” Tronolone
said. “Unfortunately, it didn’t happen.”
A week prior, Valley Stream North beat
crosstown rival Valley Stream South 8-4
for some hometown bragging rights. Ros-
setti pitched a complete game and Cosme
homered in the top of the first inning.

ERASE honors education equity leaders
Company to host special ferry events out of G.C.
By MIKE CONN
Every year, ERASE Racism of New York
honors extraordinary leaders during its
annual benefit with the Abraham Krasnoff
Courage and Commitment Award. This
year, the organization will honor Dr. Bever-
ly Daniel Tatum and Dr. Lorna Lewis for
their outstanding work in education equity
in presenting them with the award.
According to ERASE Racism President
V. Elaine Gross, the Abraham Krasnoff
award is the highest honor the organiza-
tion bestows, fitting for the vital role its
namesake played during the organization’s
infancy.
Krasnoff, a native of Glen Cove, was the
chair of the Long Island Community Foun-
dation Board when ERASE Racism was
founded in 2001. Gross said that he was a
huge supporter from the start, providing
financial support for the organization and
serving as a chair of its advisory commit-
tee. He helped in the design of the initiative
and provided support and guidance until
his death in 2007.
Gross explained that Krasnoff was a
vocal proponent for diversity in traditional-
ly white areas of society. As the chairman,
president and CEO of the Pall Corporation,
a global leader in high-tech filtration sys-
tems headquartered in Port Washington,
Krasnoff promoted ethnic and racial diver-
sity within the
corporation. He
was also vocal
in his belief that
there should be
more African-
Americans serv-
ing on school
boards to reflect
the needs of
black students
in Long Island
school districts.
“His life real-
ly epitomized
what we were hoping to recognize in giving
an award to someone,” said Gross.
Every year, ERASE Racism holds an
annual benefit during which they present
one or two people with the award named
for Krasnoff. Tatum is a psychologist and a
renowned scholar in education equity who
served as president of Spelman College
from 2002 to 2015. Her research and writing
focus heavily on race in education, racial
identity development in teenagers and the
assimilation of black families and youth in
white neighborhoods.
Tatum addresses these issues in her
books “Why Are All the Black Kids Sitting
Together in the Cafeteria? And Other Con-
versations About Race” and “Can We Talk
About Race? And Other Conversations in
an Era of School Resegregation.” She said
that the aim of
her books is to
encourage peo-
ple to engage in
conversations
a b o u t r a c e
because of the
opportunities
those conversa-
tions can pres-
ent, even if they
are uncomfort-
able.
Tatum said
she is humbled
and grateful for the recognition that
ERASE Racism has given her, and that she
hopes her work continues to influence her
readers and students.
“I certainly hope the work that I have
done and students and people I’ve been
able to influence through my writing and
teaching will join me in this effort, to join
all of us to break down barriers,” said
Tatum. “I think we all benefit when oppor-
tunities to thrive are available to every-
one.”
Lorna Lewis not only serves as the
superintendent of the Plainview-Old Beth-
page School District, but she is also the
president of the New York State Council of
School Superintendents. She said that she
is honored to hold the position, especially
as a woman and as a person of color. In
fact, she said, that out of the 700 school
superintendents in New York, only 33 of
them are people of color.
ERASE Racism’s work is very impor-
tant to New York schools, Lewis said, add-
ing that she’s honored to be one of the
faces of its biggest award this year.
“I just hope that my service to the chil-
dren of NYS serves as a testament that par-
ents can accept people for who they are and
what they can bring to the district rather
than what color they are,” said Lewis.
After immigrating from Jamaica when
she was 16, Lewis immediately enrolled in
Fordham University, thanks to the fact that
she started her formal education when she
was only three-years-old. One of the big-
gest changes she would like to see made in
American schools she said is a stronger
barometer for determining whether a child
is ready to enter school. While this is cur-
rently based on age more than anything
else, Lewis said it would be greatly benefi-
cial to develop rubrics and assessments
that would test a child’s intellectual readi-
ness for education.
Gross said that education equity has
been a big part of ERASE Racism’s initia-
tive, and she is very happy to honor these
two women for making their mark in that
arena. Tatum and Lewis will be presented
with their awards on June 11 at the Garden
City Hotel.

The City of Glen Cove has granted East-
ern Star Cruises, a yacht charter company
based out of Huntington, a license to use
the ferry terminal at Garvies Point to host
special ferry events. The agreement states
that the company’s license will last for one
year, with three one-year options to renew
the agreement moving forward.
Mayor Tim Tenke shared the details of
the agreement at a City Council meeting
on May 14. The yachts chartered by East-
ern Star will be used exclusively for special
events such as dinner cruises and will dock
in front of the ferry terminal. They will
not be used as consistent commuter ferries
that would bring passengers to and from
Manhattan on a regular basis. The deal
struck between the city and Eastern Star
will not go toward the $16.6 million granted
to Glen Cove by the Federal Highway
Administration. If the city does not have a
commuter ferry operational by the FHWA-
mandated deadline of May 22, 2020, taxpay-
ers will be responsible for paying back the
$16.6 million.
Eastern Star was the only entity to
respond to the city’s request for expressed
interest, which they sent out alongside
requests for proposal in April. While the
RFPs are meant to be filled by companies
that would provide commuter ferry servic-
es from Glen Cove to Manhattan and back,
the RFEI was designed specifically for com-
panies that would cater to special cruise
events.
The city has already met with the multi-
ple companies that responded to the RFPs,
and extended the deadline for further
responses to May 20, from the initial May
15 deadline. The city’s deadline for a deci-
sion on a partner is June 15.
Tenke said that he hopes Eastern Star’s
work out of the ferry terminal can also
serve as a sort of advertisement for com-
muter operators to see what they could
accomplish in Glen Cove. The company’s
first dinner cruise is scheduled to set sail
on Memorial Day.
To further the city’s pursuit in finding
an optimal partner for a commuter ferry,
Tenke said he has elected to take $120,000
out of the $1 million subsidy provided by
RXR — the real estate developer operating
at Garvies Point — to put toward the hiring
of an advisor, Shea Thorvaldsen of TMS
Waterfront. When this was announced at
the meeting, councilmen Nicholas DiLeo
and Kevin Maccarone both said they were
hesitant in agreeing with the resolution.
They said they would prefer to explore
other avenues of hiring a consultant rather
than taking money from the RXR subsidy.
“The most important thing right now is
to get a ferry operator down there that’s
willing to start this service,” Tenke said,
“and in order to do that, we thought . . .
having a consultant with us was the right
way to go.”
DiLeo and Maccarone both voted “no”
on drawing the money from the subsidy.
All of the other members on the City Coun-
cil and Tenke voted to pass it.
“My opposition isn’t necessarily to not
pay the consultant $120,000,” DiLeo said
after the meeting, “but if there’s a way that
we can avoid taking that $120,000 out of our
$1 million subsidy, I’d rather see that hap-
pen than us diminish that million dollars
that we have to use once our ferry is up and
running.”
Maccarone said that incoming ferry
operators might base some of their willing-
ness to operate in Glen Cove on that $1 mil-
lion subsidy and worries that removing
$120,000 could be cause for reluctance
among some of the operators. “If we don’t
have a subsidy and [ferry ticket] prices are
going to be $45 [or] $50, it’s not feasible,” he
said. “In order to keep it feasible, we need
to have that money available.”
“In order for the subsidy to be worth
anything, you have to have a ferry service,”
Tenke said. “We as a city do not have the
expertise on how to go about running or
acquiring a ferry service. That’s why we
hire an expert.”
Tenke also emphasized that the pres-
ence of Eastern Star will not affect the
establishment or operation of a commuter
ferry. A commuter ferry would take priori-
ty over pleasure cruises and a contract
with Eastern Star can be terminated with-
in 60 days of its signing if the city deter-
mines it interferes with the commuter
ferry.

The Glen Cove High School drama
program suffered a massive setback
in early April when a lighting struc-
ture fell on the stage of the school’s
auditoriums, forcing the cancellation
of the April 12 and 13 productions of
“Les Misérables.” However, thanks to
the program’s hard work and a grant
from Assemblyman Charles Lavine
for light repairs, the students were
able to put on their show on May 2
and 3, wowing audiences with their
rendition of the classic story.
Written by Victor Hugo, “Les
Misérables” is considered one of the
greatest pieces of fiction of the 19th
century and has been adapted into
nearly every form of entertainment
imaginable since its creation in 1862.
Set in France in the early 1800s, the
play centers around Jean Valjean
and the characters he meets after he
leaves prison and goes from impover-
ished peasant to rich noble, albeit in
not the most legal of ways.
The show was a success, a direct
result of the incredible perseverance
of the students and their director, Ed
Norris. Once the new lights afforded
by Lavine’s grant are installed over
the summer, Glen Cove High School’s
drama shows will improve even more
and the program will continue to
flourish.

Biannual Landmarks House Tour this SundayBy ALYSSA SEIDMAN
The Sea Cliff Landmarks Association’s
Biannual House Tour returns this Sunday,
inviting residents and visitors to view
seven storied homes throughout the vil-
lage and take in Sea Cliff ’s rich architec-
tural heritage on a self-guided walking
tour.
The featured homes include a converted
carriage house with a summer cottage
vibe, an Instagram-worthy Victorian with
eclectic décor, a fully renovated three-story
home reminiscent of a Hamptons beach
house and a cliffside cottage with an
ornate interior and thriving garden.
After picking up a map and a brochure
at the starting point visitors embark on the
tour, an adventure that begins with long
walks up hilly, tree-lined streets in search
of the marked homes.
“I always say the house tour is like a
poem to Sea Cliff,” said Leslie Guerci, pres-
ident of the Landmarks Association. “So
many people volunteer with the idea of
opening their community and showcasing
its history and pride.”
Guerci and her husband, Alan, moved
to the area in 1998, but she was drawn to
the village long before then. With a pen-
chant for historic architecture, she
scoured the papers for real estate listings
in Sea Cliff from her 1870s Eastlake Victo-
rian in Garden City, dreaming of one day
owning a home with sweeping views of the
Long Island Sound. That dream is now
reality.
Guerci’s Prospect Avenue property,
near the waterfront, is one of the seven
stops on this year’s tour. Alongside the
main house is a cottage that was converted
from a dilapidated garage in to a cozy two-
bedroom home.
Guerci, who has co-chaired the tour
since 2007, chose a neutral palette for the
home’s décor to emphasize the water
views out back. The tan and white tile in
the entryway is also found on the kitchen
island. A matching glass mosaic tile forms
the backsplash behind a white enamel
stove, and the whitewashed oak floors
upstairs meld with the faux wood herring-
bone tile in the bedroom downstairs. The
sliding glass doors in the master bedroom
lead out to a terraced rock garden created
by the design firm Emil Kreye and Sons.
The Kreye family transformed a yard full
of bamboo and rubble into a space that
matched Alan’s vision of an Italian hill-
side.
“We try to have a mix of architecture
on the house tour to reflect the eclectic
character of Sea Cliff,” she said. “One of
the houses on this year’s tour was featured
on the tour in 2007, but since then it under-
went a gut renovation.”
That house, at 134 17th Ave., is now
occupied by a family of four — the Mit-
gangs. Guerci said it was exciting to watch
husband and wife, Todd and Colleen Mit-
gang, transform the “bones of the house”
into a space all their own. Colleen, who
grew up in Brookville, said she admired
the tightly knit community that she saw in
neighboring Sea Cliff. The family moved
from their apartment above Todd’s restau-
rant, Crave Fishbar, to the village in 2014.
The three-story Victorian has four bed-
rooms, three and a half bathrooms and a
full-width porch balcony on each level. The
interior boasts a distinct design of contem-
porary wallpaper, playful curtains, colored
ceilings and mixed metal fixtures that
interact in the open floor plan. “It feels
very free-flowing,” Todd said, “but there’s
also an intimacy that I compare to a res-
taurant.”
Most notable are the personal design
touches throughout, like the framed por-
trait of Colleen’s mother, Ann, on top of a
custom-made bar cart in the dining room,
or the gold-plated pizza paperweight inher-
ited from Todd’s father, Steve, on a shelv-
ing unit in the living room.
Proceeds from the house tour will bene-
fit educational programs sponsored by
Landmarks Association, as well as work to
restore public infrastructure throughout
the village.

Summer’s bountyMaintain your healthy lifestyle throughout barbecue season
The warmth of summer means less clothes and more barbecues. To look your best and feel even better, the foods you choose at those barbecues, baseball games, picnics and pool parties should really be good ones. Instead of loading up your plate with hot dogs, chips, potato salad, s’mores, and more, focus your attention on those seasonal super-foods that will leave you feeling healthy and satisfied. Here are some top picks for summer.
Kiwi Just one cup of this electric green fruit provides more potassium than the same amount of sliced bananas — with less sugar and calories! They may taste sweet, but there’s no worrying about cavities when it comes to kiwi, with just seven grams of sugar in one medium fruit they have almost three times less sugar than one apple. One cup of the fruit also contains five grams of fiber (the green part has soluble fiber, while the seeds and skin offer the insol-uble kind), or about 21 percent of the daily recommended intake, to help promote feel-ings of fullness.
Asparagus This tender vegetable has been a luxuri-ous epicurean delight for hundreds of years. The nutritional powers of this pointy veggie are many. The spears are a good source of vitamin K (important for strong bones and blood clotting) and antioxidants, which repair damage done by free radicals and can help reduce risk of serious health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Asparagus is also a good vegetarian source of iron, which helps keep your bones, hair and nails strong. Serve a side of steamed, roasted, or grilled asparagus with dinner, or toss bite-sized pieces into salads and omelets for extra crunch.
Lemons This tart, sunny-colored fruit is a pretty sweet superfood. Lemons are packed with flavor, but (thankfully) not calories. The juice of an entire lemon has only 12 calories but a whopping third of the daily recommended value of vitamin C and other antioxidants. Those antioxidants, known as flavonoids, could make lemons a good way to decrease heart disease risk, reduce inflammation, and fight some cancers (including pancreatic and stomach).
Spinach Antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and vitamins that promote vision and bone health are what make this little ol’ green so super. Spinach has plenty of vitamins A and C, as well as folate (and magnesium. Each plays a role in healthy muscle and nerve function. Studies have shown spinach can help combat osteoporosis, arthritis and several types of cancer.
Watermelon Low in sugar and high in vitamins A and C, this summer treat is a great, refreshing, low-calorie snack. Studies suggest watermelon could also potentially lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease . Plus, the lycopene in watermelon can help protect the body from UV rays and cancer.
Strawberries Vitamin C holds most of the strawberry’s secret superpowers. Just one cup of these beautiful berries satisfies the daily require-ment for vitamin C! Studies suggest the antioxidant helps build and repair the body’s tissues, boosts immunity, and fights excess free radical dam-age. Plus, it can help promote healthy eye function.
Blueberries Blueberries are nutritional superstars, filled with fiber, vitamin C, and cancer-fighting compounds. Blueberry phytochemicals inhib-it growth and metastatic potential of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. Blueberries are loaded with fiber and the antioxidant anthocyanin, which helps fight age-related diseases. A recent study show indicated that adults 75 and older who con-sume blueberries on a daily basis have improved learning and memory function. Blueberries are a great low-calorie snack. One cup is only 80 calories and provides nearly 1/4 the recommended amount of vita-min C you need for the day.

Be sun savvy
Summer brings warm weather, blue skies and lots of sunshine. And with the kids on break from school, the summer months offer infinite opportuni-ties for families to get moving.“People are more active in the summer because they’re doing things like yard work, washing cars and playing outside with their kids,” Nicole Schreiber says. The fitness expert believes the commitment to fitness is more likely to slip during vacations when you’re more likely to lie by the pool than swim in the pool. Never fear, if you’re committed to staying fit as a family, squeezing physical activity into your itinerary will be seamless. Keep your kids off the couch and get your whole family moving with these summertime fitness ideas. Bounce. Whether you buy an inexpensive bounce house at a garage sale or splurge on a large-scale trampoline, bouncing is great exercise. To sidestep boredom from the repetitive up-and-down motion, play games on the trampoline. “Do a round of ‘Simon Says’ or challenge your kids to see who can complete the most tuck jumps,” Schreiber suggests. Get shaking with hula hoops. Hula hoops help whittle your waist, too, burning up to seven calories a minute when done consistently. And they’re a favorite pastime for kids, especially when you switch up the fun with other exercises. Have kids do tuck jumps, jumping jacks or even jump rope before getting back to the hula hoop. Set up an obstacle course. Nothing promises to tax your muscles more than a challenging obstacle course. Create stations in your backyard or at the park for exercises like lunges, squats, sit-ups and push-ups. Near a jungle gym? Add pull-ups or other monkey-bar exercises to your circuit. Have fun with sidewalk chalk. Whether you draw hopscotch squares, create a racetrack in the backyard or use chalk to create an obstacle course, sidewalk chalk offers myriad opportunities to get moving. Plus, your children will be able to practice spelling, reading and writing in the process. Break out the bubbles. Bubble machines are especially fun for young-er children. Just turn on the bubbles and run around the yard trying to “catch” them or pop them! A bonus: You’ll be able to teach them mindful breathing techniques by showing them how to use their breath to blow big bubbles. Go high-tech. In today’s digital world, there are countless apps that help families get moving together. Whether you challenge each other using a social network-style app or opt for something like Pokemon Go, the end result is the same: You’re moving! There are even superhero-themed work-outs for the little ones. Take a walk. Nothing is more powerful for both mind and body than heading outside for a breath of fresh air. Whether you choose to go hiking in the woods or take a stroll around the block after dinner, walking is a great family bonding activity. It’s also a great way to teach kids to prioritize fitness. No matter which summer activities you choose, it’s important to be aware of potential pitfalls. Exercising in the heat and humidity can be espe-cially problematic, since it raises the risk for heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Even just spending time in the sunshine comes with caveats including sun-burn and increased risk of skin cancer. So be summer smart. “Wear sunscreen, cover up with a broad-brimmed hat and be sure to stay hydrated during the summer months,” Schreiber cautions. “Equally important, encourage your kids to engage in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for at least 60 minutes most days.” That way when school starts up again, whether their sport of choice is football or water polo, they’ll be ready to dive in. n
On the moveGet creative with family fitness
Summertime means “fun in the sun.” But, while you’re outside being physically active, it’s important to protect yourself from the sun’s ultra-violet (UV) rays which can damage skin in as little as 15 minutes and increase risk of skin cancer. Skin cancer is currently the most common cancer in the United States. Every year, nearly 5 million people are treated for skin cancer, including 72,000 new cases and 9,000 deaths from melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer. In addition to the risk of skin cancer, the sun’s UV rays are also responsible for more than 90 percent of visible changes commonly attributed to skin aging, such as wrinkles, sagging, dryness, freckles, and dark blotches. The sun’s rays tend to suppress the skin’s immunity, making some people more prone to cold sores or other skin infections. Fortunately, most skin cancers can be prevented.
Seek the shade The sun’s rays are usually strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you are outside, find shade from a structure, a leafy tree, or a sun umbrella for protec-tion. Also, try to arrange your schedule so that you can take advantage of the early morning and late afternoon for your outdoor activities. Otherwise, limit exposure to the sun and take frequent breaks in the shade.
Cover up Wear clothing that covers the arms and legs. Some outdoor gear is designed to offer sun protec-tion. Tightly woven fabrics tend to help the most. Your clothes can be an effective form of protec-tion from the sun’s harmful rays. Some activewear now carries an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating. The UPF rating lets you know how well the fabric shields your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays. All fabrics block UV rays to some degree, but the most effective have a UPF rating from 15 (good) to more than 50 (excellent). For example, a white cot-ton t-shirt has a UPF of five. Blue jeans have a UPF of 1,700. In other words, densely woven and bright or dark colored fabrics offer the best defense from the sun’s rays. Lightweight, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants also help.
Also, don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes.
Apply sunscreen Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays, with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15, as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. However many physicians will recommend a higher SPF such as 30. SPF ratings tell you how
well the sunscreen blocks the sun’s harmful UV rays. Higher numbers give more protection. If you are at risk for acne, use oil-free products. If a sunscreen causes stinging, itching, or a rash, try a fragrance-free product that lists titanium dioxide or zincoxide as an active ingredient. Avoid products that combine UV and insect pro-tection in one bottle. Thesunscreen effect may be reduced. Use make-up with at least SPF 15 plus moisturizer on your face. Apply a full teaspoon on your face to provide enough pro-tection from the sun. Certain medicines or types of makeup may increase your sensitivity to sun. Apply sunscreen at least 15 minutes before going outdoors. It may be helpful to apply it in front of a mirror to make sure your skin is fully covered. It takes at least an ounce of sunscreen, or enough to fill the palm of your hand, to cover all exposed parts of yourbody. Adjust the amount of sunscreen you use based on your body size. Remember to put sunscreen on your nose, entire neck, top of your feet, top of your ears, your scalp, and your lips. Reapply every two hours when outdoors, even on cloudy days. Put on more when it is windy, after being in the water, or after working up a sweat. To help you remember to reapply, keep a con-tainer nearby, such as in your purse or backpack. Check the expiration date and make sure it hasn’t expired. If it has, throw it out. Keep in mind that if sunscreen is exposed to higher temperatures, it degrades and has a shorter shelf life. n
Make exercise a family affair. Teach your children to embrace good fitness and nutrition
habits while they are young.
It’s natural to want to get out in the sun during warm summer days. It should also be second nature to take steps to protect
your skin from the sun when you go outside.

M emorial Sloan Ketter-ing (MSK) has been serving people on
Long Island for more than 20 years at multiple locations in both Nas-sau and Suffolk county. MSK is now expanding its world-class, compassionate care by opening MSK Nassau in Uniondale. This all-new 114,000 square foot facility offers services addressing almost every aspect of cancer care and allows for more convenient treat-ment for people from Nassau county and eastern Queens. “We’re excited to offer new services and expand what we’ve been doing in Nassau county for the last two decades,” says Pamela Drullinsky, MD, a breast cancer oncologist and MSK Nassau’s Regional Care Network Site Director. Dr. Drullinsky understands how a convenient location helps people reduce travel time and stress. “Receiving treatment close to home lessens the burden on everyday life,” she says. The collaborative team approach to care at MSK Nassau ensures that each person’s treatment plan is regularly discussed by experts across the institution. MSK’s singular focus on cancer makes for a committed team dedicated to bringing the latest breakthroughs to patients. “People come to MSK for specialized care,”
says Dr. Drullinsky. “We have spe-cialists in every field who only treat that kind of cancer and are up-to-date on the most-innova-tive approaches.” MSK Nassau also offers counsel-ing; genetic testing; nutrition con-sultations; a Symptom Care Clinic to help address unexpected medi-cal problems; and a rapid response lab, which cuts down waiting time. Every aspect of a patient’s visit has been carefully considered to provide peace of mind, from free valet parking to covered walk-ways that usher visitors into calm,
soothing spaces. Interior areas offer patients and their caregivers privacy, while thoughtfully land-scaped outdoor areas provide an opportunity to recharge. Here are five more appealing features of MSK Nassau:
Infusion, your way Many people come weekly for chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and other types of infusions. The 26 infusion spaces are self-contained, providing privacy and modern comforts in a tranquil setting. Internet, television, and refreshments are available, and temperature, lighting, and seating are con-trolled by the patient.
The latest radiation treatments MSK Nassau houses three state-of-the-art lin-ear accelerators, which are the backbone of radia-tion therapy. MSK radiation oncologists deliver ultra-precise treatments that seek to spare healthy tissue, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, and ste-reotactic body radiation therapy.
Surgical consultations MSK Nassau offers most of the procedures that are necessary before and after surgery, as well as consultations with the surgeon who will perform a person’s operation.
Research Clinical trials test new treatments and are a crucial step in developing new approaches to care. MSK offers more clinical trials for cancer care than
any other institution on Long Island. This means that people who come to MSK Nassau may have access to therapies being studied that aren’t avail-able at many other hospitals.
Help getting back on your feet Rehabilitation services help people with the side effects and physical changes that can result from cancer and its treatment. MSK Nassau fea-tures a gym, seasoned rehabilitation specialists, and care for any stage of treatment or survivor-ship, including lymphedema.

M edi Weightloss® knows how frustrating it can be for a parent to have to
deal with an adolescent coping with obesity. We feel the best way to treat adult obesity is to prevent childhood obesity because obesity as a disease is an expensive health-care burden that carries along with it a long list of other health-related problems — not just social stigmati-zation:• Heart disease• High cholesterol• High blood pressure• Diabetes (primarily type 2)• Sleep apnea• Asthma• Liver disease and fibrosis• Delayed puberty in boys• Early puberty in girls• Orthopedic problems (slipped capito-femoral
epiphysis, Blount disease)• Gall stones• Cancer• Shortened life expectancy In Nassau County the most recent data from the New York State Department of Health indicate that the rate of overweight and obesity among school-age children (elementary through high school) was 32 percent in 2016. The difference between obese and overweight is a matter of
degree: obese children are heavier for their height than overweight children. In any case the fact that almost a third of our children are overweight or more represents a significant potential public health problem. Obesity in childhood is relat-ed to a number of influences: The availability of healthy food choices is foremost; others include TV ads promoting unhealthy diet choices, factors that downplay the impor-tance of physical activity, an abun-dance of inexpensive, readily avail-
able sugary drinks and snack foods, and genetic and hereditary influences — although genetics might not be as important as the environmental factors. Fortunately, obesity is a curable disease, and the best time to reverse it is in childhood. Obesity treatment is multimodal across all ages, from chil-dren to adults. The keys to achieving and sustain-ing weight loss successfully are physical activity, diet, and nutrition therapy. Especially in growing children, calorie restriction may be less necessary than redistribution of caloric intake away from sugary sodas, candy, and greasy, salty snacks to more healthful choices. Also, the CDC recommends 1 hour or more of physical activity daily for chil-dren and adolescents. At Medi Weightloss®, we can act as account-
ability partners with you and your child. We will provide counseling about diet choices and behav-ior modification tips to help your child and your family form healthy habits around food and exer-cise that will last a lifetime.

Abundant sunshine, higher temperatures and longer days make this the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Taking your workout outside is a great way to enjoy pleasant weather and stay fit at the same time. In addition to exercise routines done at the gym, explore energizing outdoor activities to burn calories and soak up some springtime sun at the same time. Summertime’s appeal can also sidetrack those fitness goals at times. Relaxing outdoors, beach trips, barbecues, picnics and more can put a crimp into your workout routine. Maintain the focus on your fitness program while enjoying all those summer activities.
Protect yourself from the sun When exercising outdoors, make sure that you use sunscreen, wear lightweight fabrics and adjust your workout schedule. During days when the heat index is too high, consider working out indoors in an air-condi-tioned facility. Starting earlier in the morning when the weather is cooler will also help to keep your body temperature down when working out outdoors. Stay hydrated Hydration during outdoor or indoor workouts is extremely important during sum-mer workouts. Being well hydrated helps you to have an effective workout, especially dur-ing the summer. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends drinking 3-8
fluid ounces of water every 15-20 minutes during exercise. After exercise, ACSM recom-mends you drink 20-24 fluid ounces of water or sports beverage for every one pound lost. Don’t forget to warm up Although our bodies are warmer in the summer months due to the heat, it is still important to warm up before workouts. A proper warm up prior to exercise will reduce your risk for injury. Try something new Join a new exercise class or try a new workout technique. The summer months means you can incorporate outdoor actives such as biking, running, yoga, hiking, outdoor sports and more into your routine to burn calories and stay in shape.
Beach bounty The beach is not just for relaxing and catching some sun. Beaches can be a great place to get a good workout as well. Swimming in the ocean against the tug of the tide and waves is quite a task. The buoyancy of the water will prevent strain on your joints, but the resistance of the water will work your muscles harder than if you were swimming in a pool. Running or walking in sand is tougher than doing the same activities on a packed surface. The sand offers more resistance, which will tire out your legs and provide a
greater cardiovascular benefit. Carting a few children, a cooler, beach chairs, and refresh-ments also may qualify as a workout! This is the time of year when many peo-ple renew their love affair with the great out-
doors and take advantage of all the outdoor events and activities at their disposal. Exercising outdoors is one way to soak up some sun (safely, of course) while enjoying some fresh air and getting healthier. n

aimed at opening criminal investigations
into associates of President Donald
Trump, voted on May 8 to close the so-
called “double-jeopardy loophole.” Doing
so would allow state prosecutors to bring
charges against certain individuals who
are pardoned of federal offenses.
The provision, which 24 states have
already incorporated into their legal sys-
tems, was chiefly inspired by Trump’s
vocal willingness to use his executive
powers to pardon loyal associates and for-
mer employees convicted of federal
crimes, according to State Sen. Todd
Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach
who serves Valley Stream and is one of
the bill’s chief architects.
The vote took on renewed urgency
upon the release of the report last month
by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who
had been tasked with investigating possi-
ble Russian interference in the 2016 presi-
dential election, and which revealed new
information about Trump’s plans to par-
don those hit with indictments handed
down from it.
“Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s
report provided disturbing new evidence
of the president’s plan to improperly use
the pardon power to help his associates
and undermine the rule of law,” Kamin-
sky, who before serving in the state Legis-
lature, worked as federal prosecutor spe-
cializing in corruption, said in a state-
ment. “ … No one — not even the presi-
dent and his inner circle — is above the
law.”
Six indictments emerged from Muel-
ler’s investigation, which resulted in five
convictions or guilty pleas, most of which
stemmed from instances of lying to feder-
al investigators. The report stopped short
of recommending charges against
Trump, instead passing the responsibility
of what to do with the evidence his team
had compiled off to Congress.
With passage of the Senate bill, it now
falls on the State Assembly to pass its ver-
sion. Assemblywoman Judy Griffin, a
Democrat from Rockville Centre who co-
sponsored the bill, and whose district cov-
ers parts of Valley Stream and Franklin
Square, said she expected it to be
reviewed in conference early this week,
after the Herald went to press.
She said the unprecedented nature of
Trump’s presidency warranted a rethink
of state laws to protect against wanton
use of federal pardon power.
“Before we had the president that we
have, we maybe didn’t realize how impor-
tant things like these are,” she said of giv-
ing state prosecutors more latitude in
their cases. “ … It takes away that get-out-
of-jail free card.”
She said Attorney General Letitia
James, New York’s chief prosecutor, heav-
ily favors the bill, with language in the
Senate bill indicating that it had at least
partially come at her request.
James released a statement upon the
passage of the Senate bill, praising the
measure.
“Our current ‘double-jeopardy’ law,
while a well-intended and necessary law,
could leave the state vulnerable in instanc-
es of abuse of the presidential pardon
power,” she said. “Historically, this law has
been used as a tool to safeguard and pro-
tect people against the abuse of govern-
mental power, not as a tool to be exploited
and to deny justice altogether.”
The bill creates an additional exception
to the state’s double-jeopardy law, which is
intended to prevent a “separate or subse-
quent prosecution” of an offense for which
a person has been granted a presidential
pardon.
According to the bill, it would create
exceptions for people who have served in
or been employed by the executive branch
of the United States; those who have
directly or indirectly worked in an elec-
tion, transition or re-election campaign for
an incoming or incumbent president; as
well as and friends and family of the presi-
dent — allowing them to be prosecuted in
New York despite a pardon.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has indicated that
he would sign the measure into law should
it pass the Assembly, and issued a state-
ment in August after the respective convic-
tion and guilty pleas from ex-Trump cam-
paign manager Paul Manafort and former
lawyer Michael Cohen, saying as much.
“New York must have the ability to
stand up against the abuse of power,” he
said. “I call on the State Legislature to
amend current state law to close the dou-
ble-jeopardy loophole and ensure that
these wrongdoers cannot escape justice —
I will sign it into law the same day.”
Trump, Senate votes to close double-jeopardy ‘loophole’
Who would no longer be protected under
New York’s double-jeopardy law
■ A person who has served in or been employed by the federal executive branch as part
of the president’s staff.
■ Anyone who was directly or indirectly involved working for a presidential election, tran-
sition or re-election campaign.
■ Anyone related to or is a close associate of the president.

D espite the latest ups and downs of the weather, summertime’s arrival shortly is when the grillin’ is easy.
If the idea of longer, warmer days has you reaching for the tongs, it’s time to get your grilling game on before the season is in full swing. With Memorial Day weekend around the corner or whether you just want to enjoy being outdoors with family and friends, forgo the oven and step on outside And, of course, it’s always fun to expand your culinary skills by incorporating new flavors into grilled cuisine. For the best results on the grill, keep these tips in mind. Get ready before you light up. Even more than with indoor cooking, grilling requires you to be prepared. Mise en place is everything. Have your tools, meat, vegetables, brushes, platter, cutting boards, utensils, sauces, sides, condiments, and hungry mouths ready before you light up. Make sure you are ready when it is. Vary the heat. Not all heat is created equal. Keep one part of the grill hot, another cooler. This way, nothing gets overcooked. Know when it’s done. For non-stick grilling, let your food get good and hot (and get those enticing grill marks) before you try to flip it over. Give it a rest. Don’t eat right away. For maximum flavor and juiciness, give meats at least a 10 minute rest, so the heat and juices equalize. Find some inspiration with these recipes.
Grilled Buttermilk Chicken 1 1/2 cups buttermilk 1 tablespoon mustard powder 1 tablespoon Sriracha 2 teaspoons minced garlic 2 teaspoons paprika 4 chicken drumsticks, bone in, skin on 4 chicken thighs, bone in, skin on Vegetable oil, for grill 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
In medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, mustard powder, Sriracha, garlic and paprika. Place chicken in large zip-top bag; pour buttermilk mixture over chicken. Seal bag and refrigerate 2 hours or overnight. Heat outdoor grill for direct grilling over medium heat. Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off excess; discard marinade. Lightly oil grill grates. Transfer chicken to grill and cook, turning occasionally, 16-18 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 F. Transfer chicken to serving platter. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges, if desired. Serves four.
Grilled Pizza with Arugula Pesto Arugula Pesto: 2 cups fresh arugula, tightly packed 1 clove garlic 1 tablespoon lemon juice Pinch red pepper flakes, optional 1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil Salt, to taste Pepper, to taste
Pizza: 2 tablespoons flour, divided 1 pound pizza crust dough, at room temperature if
using refrigerated dough Vegetable oil, for grill 1/2 cup arugula pesto 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 1/2 cup diced ham, optional 1/2-3/4 cup fresh corn kernels, about 1 cob 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion1/4 cup shredded
Parmesan cheese
Heat grill to medium heat (350-400 F). Make arugula pesto: In food processor, combine arugula, garlic, lemon juice, red pepper flakes and Parmesan. Pulse until combined then, with food processor on, drizzle in olive oil until pesto forms, scraping down sides as needed.
Taste and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Flour pizza dough lightly and stretch or roll to about 1/2-inch thickness (14- to 16-inch diameter). Sprinkle remaining flour on large rimless baking sheet, pizza peel or pizza stone. Transfer dough to baking surface. Clean grill grate and grease with oil-soaked paper towel and tongs. Slide dough off baking surface onto grill. Cover and cook until dough is bubbling on top and golden brown on bottom, 2-3 minutes. Carefully flip dough over using peel or tongs. Remove crust from grill to add toppings. Spread arugula pesto over dough. Top with ricotta, ham (if using), corn kernels, onion and Parmesan. Return pizza to grill, cover and cook until toppings are heated through and bottom of crust is crispy, 5-7 minutes. Remove from grill, slice and serve.
Grilled Skirt Steak with Roasted Corn Salad Skirt Steak: 1/3 cup Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce 1 tablespoon ground cumin 1 large garlic clove, crushed 1 1/2 pounds skirt steak, cut into 4-inch pieces
Corn Salad: 4 ears corn on the cob, shucked 2 large tomatoes, chopped 1 small red onion, diced 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced 2 tablespoons fresh chopped basil 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce 1/4 teaspoon salt
Prepare skirt steak: In large bowl, combine chipotle pepper sauce, cumin and garlic; add skirt steaks. Toss to mix well; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight. Prepare corn salad: Preheat grill to medium. Grill corn about 5 to 10 minutes, turning frequently, until tender-crisp. When cool enough to handle, cut corn from cob. In medium bowl, combine corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, basil, lime juice, olive oil, chipotle pepper sauce and salt; toss to mix well. Preheat grill to high. Grill skirt steak about 5 minutes, or until of desired doneness, turning once.
To serve, plate steak with corn salad. Serves four.

IN CONCErT Graham ParkerFor nearly 30 years, Graham Parker has been slinging his signature sound, earning a spot in the pantheon of influential rock ‘n’ roll figures. Since his early days with The Rumour, Parker has coupled punk’s energy with his deeply rooted love of R&B, country and soul music. Now he arrives on Long Island to celebrate the solo acoustic release of the 40th anniversary version of his classic 1979 album “Squeezing Out Sparks.” Regarded as one of the U.K.’s most distinguished and
original songwriters, Parker is perhaps best known as lead singer of The Rumour who pre-ceded the arrival of punk rock and new wave. His 40-year career was recently reinvigorat-ed when producer and director Judd Apatow cast Parker in his film “This Is 40.” Parker is acclaimed by critics who praise him for continuing to show his creative well is far from dry, remaining an estimable talent who still revels in the pleasure of making music.

Red Molly The Americana powerhouse trio visits the Landmark on Main Street stage, on Sunday,
June 16 at 7:30 p.m.
Joyous is often used to describe Red Molly’s music. Their brilliantly wrought a
cappella tunes are love letters to the art of vocalization, and their innovative instru-
mentation is perfectly suited for foot stomping bluegrass-tinged barnburners and
heart-full ballads alike. Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner (Dobro), and Molly
Venter (guitar) weave together the threads of American music — from folk roots to
bluegrass, from heartbreaking ballads to barn-burning honky tonk — as effortlessly
as they blend their voices into their signature crystalline three-part harmonies.
Tickets are $38 $33, $28; available at 767-6444 or www.landmarkonmainstreet.org.

Dear Great Book Guru,
Flowers are blooming and spir-
its are shining in Sea
Cliff throughout the
merry month of May. Now I must
have a book to match this beautiful
time of year. I’m looking for a
novel under 300 pages set in a lovely
time and place. Any thoughts?
–Marveling in May
Dear Marveling in May,
“Normal People,” by Sally
Rooney is the book for you. Set in
present day Ireland shifting
between Dublin and Carricklea, a
small town in County Sligo, this beautifully
written, thought-provoking novel traces the
relationship of Marianne and Connell.
When we first meet them as sixteen-year-
olds, Marianne is a social misfit of sorts,
scorned by her schoolmates, while Connell
is a hugely popular athlete and academic
star. His mother is a domestic worker and
Marianne’s a prominent attorney. While the
teens become close friends, Con-
nell is ever fearful his schoolmates
will learn of their relationship.
When they enter Trinity College
in Dublin, the nexus changes. Con-
nell is the misfit and Marianne the
star, largely because of class and
privilege. For the next four years,
they consistently misread each
other’s actions and their friend-
ship falters. Throughout, Rooney
presents her characters’ insecuri-
ties and vulnerabilities as a mir-
ror of today’s economic and soci-
etal failings. Recommended!

Ruth Elkins HirschbergRuth Elkins Hirschberg, 91, of Glen
Cove, died on May 12 after a brief illness.
Daughter of Esther and Leopold Elkins;
sister of Elyse Greenstein; wife of Dimi-
tri Hirschberg; mother of Eric Snyder,
David Snyder, Scott Snyder (Peggy), Rob-
ert Snyder (Rob Pritchard), Gary Snyder,
Michael Hirschberg (Darlene), Alex
Hirschberg and Kerry Hirschberg; grand-
mother of Kyle (Megan), Adam, Jeffrey,
Paris (Brie), Britt, Trevor and Meghan
(Wes Goodson); great-grandmother of
Theo, Miri and Evy; also survived by her
sixth beloved “son” Zackie.
Born in Philadelphia, Pa. on Feb. 4,
1928, Hirschberg graduated at the top of
her class from Temple University School
of Music, and music was one of her many
passions throughout her life. An accom-
plished pianist and teacher, she supported
all of the performing arts and was an
active performer herself.
Hirschberg made her first home and
raised her five sons in Allentown, Pa.,
where she was an active member of Tem-
ple Keneseth Israel and the Jewish Com-
munity Center of Allentown. While still a
resident of the Lehigh Valley, she attained
a Masters Degree in Psychology from
Lehigh University, and maintained a pri-
vate practice for many years.
An avid bridge player, Hirschberg met
her husband, Dimitri, at a duplicate
bridge event in Glen Cove in 1986. She and
Dimitri shared many wonderful years
together and enjoyed their mutual inter-
ests in theater, travel and musical perfor-
mance. The two were active members of
the North Country Reform Temple com-
munity, where she was a member of the
choir.
The family expresses eternal gratitude
to Rabbi Dr. Janet B. Liss, Grace Blank
and the congregation of North Country
Reform Temple; Dr. Joel Laxer; Anita
Figueroa who provided many years of
boundless support and loving care for
Hirschberg; Maria and Henry Wyatt; Dr.
Steve and Anna Kolbert; and the staffs of
Glen Cove Hospital and The Glen Cove
Center for their kindness and assistance,
particularly in recent months.
A memorial service celebrating
Hirschberg’s life will be held at 2 p.m. on
May 17 at North Country Reform Temple,
86 Crescent Beach Road, Glen Cove.
Although flowers and the beauty of
nature were among Hirschberg’s greatest
delights, the family requests that any
remembrances be made in the form of a
contribution to the Choir Fund at North
Country Reform Temple.

It seems every politician under the
sun is scrambling to deal with the
out-of-control costs of higher educa-
tion in the U.S. And with good cause.
Over the past three decades, college costs
have tripled, while family income has
stayed flat. Graduates carry more than a
diploma away from college: They haul
away crushing college debt.
Student loan
borrowers owe an
average of $28,650,
according to the
Institute for Col-
lege Access and
Success. For post-
graduate degrees,
the debt burden
can easily exceed
six figures. Nation-
ally, the college
debt of nearly 45
million graduates
adds up to over
$1.5 trillion. Delinquency rates on these
loans exceed 11 percent.
The excessive cost of college is bank-
rupting our young people and their fami-
lies. Many graduates must postpone start-
ing their own families or buying homes to
meet their student loan obligations.
The score of Democratic candidates
for president are outbidding one another
in an effort to appeal to these hard-
pressed voters. Bernie Sanders promises
universal free public college. Elizabeth
Warren one-ups him with a proposal to
forgive nearly all of that $1.5 trillion debt.
Both say they’ll pay for this with more
taxes on the “rich,” though to collect the
kind of revenue they’d need for these
expensive schemes, ‘rich” means anyone
earning more than $250,000.
In New York, that’s more
middle than upper class.
Republicans, too, have
offered various debt-forgive-
ness plans. One would
reduce the number of feder-
al loan-repayment programs
and repayments and offer
some forgiveness after 15
years. Another would more
strictly limit student bor-
rowing from the federal gov-
ernment.
But none of these propos-
als would get to the root of the higher ed
cost spiral crisis. College today is obscene-
ly overpriced, with absolutely no contain-
ment of costs imposed on students. The
average cost of college for the 2017–2018
school year was $20,770 for public schools
and $46,950 for nonprofit private schools.
For some of the elite colleges, the cost can
run as high as $70,000. It costs as much for
young people to go to a public college
today as it used to cost to go to a private
one, and as much to go to a private college
as is used to cost to buy that first house!
Colleges with multi-million-dollar
presidents, billion-dollar endowments,
compliant boards of trustees and complic-
it, highly paid, often underworked profes-
sors all thrive in an ivory-tower dream
world where they can wring their hands
about all of the nation’s other social and
financial ills, except the ones they them-
selves help create. What if
they finally had to live by
their own admonitions?
Why shouldn’t the federal
government insist that col-
lege costs be held in check
before Washington throws
billions of dollars toward
their outlandish overspend-
ing?
And taking the fight for
America’s students and
their families a step further,
what if the federal govern-
ment insisted that colleges
drag themselves into the 21st century like
the rest of the U.S. economy, and fully
embrace the information age in which we
in the real world live? Just as we no lon-
ger traipse to brick-and-mortar stores to
buy goods, why can’t American higher
education likewise become truly internet-
friendly and accessible?
Maybe what America needs is an Ama-
zon for higher education, in competition
with traditional colleges, offering robust,
internet-based education programs recog-
nizing that today’s kids — savvy informa-
tion searchers and shoppers — know how
to get their information online. And for a
truly radical approach, suppose Washing-
ton cut off endless grant and loan subsi-
dies to colleges altogether, and instead
diverted those hundreds of billions of dol-
lars to establish a universally accessible,
low-cost, internet-based alternative to
today’s overpriced colleges and universi-
ties?
Before the higher ed establishment
rushes to the ramparts of its ivory towers
to rail against this modern idea, it should
take a long-range look at the future of
higher learning in America. When the
best professors with the best lectures and
the best ideas can be beamed beyond the
confines of a 200-student auditorium to
the world at large, to every corner of the
globe, how can that not be good for every-
one?
None of this is to say that there’s no
place for our colleges and universities in
the higher education universe. It just
means that the university universe
should expand to the full limits of human
understanding and knowledge. We know
and understand that the internet points to
the future of our economic and social con-
nections. Why shouldn’t it lead higher
education into the future, too?

OPINIONS
Higher education needs a shake-up
School shootings have become so
ordinary that the press is always
looking for a fresh hook. Last
week, the media found a new
lead for an old story when Kendrick Cas-
tillo, 18, charged two shooters at a Denver
high school and was shot dead. Eight
other students were shot and wounded.
Instantly, the press hailed Castillo as a
hero and the story
took off.
The hype and
sensationalism
surrounding the
concept of “stu-
dent heroes” is dis-
turbing on so
many levels that
it’s hard to know
where to start.
This was one
young man who
took action that
ultimately saved
lives. But he
wasn’t in a war zone or on a mission to
Mars. He was a kid going to high school.
He should never have had to sacrifice his
life on the way to getting a diploma.
Castillo was a victim of a shooting in
what has become an increasingly violent
America. He is a victim of our gun cul-
ture, our political intransigence and the
power of the National Rifle Association.
Two other students, Brendan Bialy and
Joshua Jones, also rushed the killers, and
now get to live the rest of their lives with
traumatic memories of the spring semes-
ter of their senior year.
Three wounded students
were still in intensive care
at press time.
Kendrick would have
graduated three days later.
And in a saner America, he
would have. He had every-
thing to live for.
His father, John Castillo,
said the two had actually
talked about the “what if”
scenario of a school shooter,
and John said he had urged
his son not to be a hero. But
in the split second that Kendrick had to
decide, he moved toward the shooters,
who were also students. According to wit-
nesses, his action gave others time to run
for shelter.
At what point do we all become com-
plicit? I wonder how all the media hype is
being processed by students across this
country who may now believe they have
to be heroes in a crisis.
The student who runs out the door or
hides in a closet or cries in a corner can-
not be made to feel that he or she failed in
some way. Charging gunmen who are kill-
ing people in a classroom is not what we
want or expect of our children. We want
them to stay as safe as they can, and to
know that no one expects
victims of school shootings
to emerge as heroes.
It is repetitive to call on
our political representatives
to push back against the
NRA and put forward new
laws to regulate gun owner-
ship. It gets boring to hear
that over and over again.
And it’s kind of exciting
and new to think of teenag-
ers rushing an armed shoot-
er. But it is also perverse
and disturbing to encourage
children — and they are children — to
risk their safety in a life-and-death sce-
nario over which they have no control.
When shootings in American schools
and houses of worship become ordinary,
we must recognize that we are in the sway
of an aberrant and violent culture.
When a gunman walked into a San
Diego synagogue three weeks ago and
shot and killed a woman, a man I was
speaking with said, “OK, only one.” And I
understand his relief, that it wasn’t anoth-
er Charleston or Orlando or Las Vegas.
But what does that response say about our
emotional and intellectual tolerance for
the wholesale killing of innocent people
going about their everyday lives?
The shootings at Columbine High
School in 1999 took 13 lives. The shooters
were two Columbine students who killed
themselves after the attack. In the years
since, there have been 228,000 shootings in
our schools. In our schools, my friends,
where we send babies when they are 6
years old in the hope that they will grow
and learn in safety.
Don’t talk to me about heroes. It
sounds as if Kendrick Castillo was a ter-
rific kid. We needed him to keep growing
up, and his parents needed him, and he
deserved to live his life. We failed him,
and all the others like him, by not passing
gun-control measures and then not pass-
ing gun-control measures and then not
passing gun-control measures.
Is it really up to the kids to save them-
selves? Tell that to the 20 first-graders
who died at Sandy Hook Elementary
School in 2012.

HERALD EDITORIAL
For trustee, Juarez and Huggins
The Herald Gazette is endorsing
two Glen Cove City School District
Board of Education incumbent
trustees, Alexander Juarez and
David Huggins, in Tuesday’s election. We
believe they are best suited to make the
most of their positions and will be effec-
tive in improving the lives of the district’s
students.
Juarez, the current board vice presi-
dent, has made it clear that he supports a
coordinated effort between the district
work and the Glen Cove community to
help students realize their potential. He
has been one of the most vocal members
of the board over the course of his term,
speaking at length during many meetings.
Juarez often addresses residents directly,
saying that he is willing to collaborate
with them. He has said that if he is re-
elected, he wants the board to host a com-
munity forum so district residents can
voice their opinions on how to improve the
schools. We support this idea.
Juarez is the only candidate with chil-
dren who attend Glen Cove High School
and Finley Middle School — one of his
daughters is in high school, and two more
are in middle school — so there’s no dis-
puting his understanding of the district’s
adolescents and teens.
Huggins’s dedication to Glen Cove
schools is made evident simply by his his-
tory on the Board of Education. If re-elect-
ed, he would begin his fourth term on the
board, having been elected the first time in
2009 (and taking the 2015-16 school year
off). He is known for making a joke or two
to lighten the mood at board meetings, but
he has no problem becoming serious when
he needs to be. He is passionate about
drafting a bond to fund infrastructure
improvements within the district, saying
he believes the schools’ infrastructure and
security are in immediate need of fixing.
Huggins graduated from GCHS in 1978,
and his four children — now 31, 27, 6 and 4
— all attended or currently attend district
schools. He has observed the growth of the
district from a parent’s perspective for
over two decades, and, given the ages of
his younger children, he is set to extend
that parental perspective for years to
come, making him as invested in the well-
being of district students as anyone.
While we are endorsing the incumbents
for the two open seats, we were nonethe-
less impressed by the ideas and the pas-
sion of challengers Karen Ferguson, Lia
Leone and Daniel Rios. We encourage
them to continue attending school board
meetings, become involved in any way
they can and perhaps run again next year.
On Tuesday, however, we encourage vot-
ers to support Juarez and Huggins.
Vote ‘yes’ for Glen Cove’s school budget
The Glen Cove City School Dis-
trict’s administration and Board
of Education are dedicated to
making sure that the district’s
students receive the best education possi-
ble, and the 2019-20 school budget is a
great example as to why. The effort put
forth by these entities has been impres-
sive, and the fruits of their labor have
warranted a strong endorsement in the
adoption of the budget by the Herald
Gazette.
At roughly $91.3 million, next year’s
budget is over $23 million more than
the 2018-19 budget of $68 million. The
$9 million in next year’s budget came
as a result of Superintendent Dr. Maria
Rianna and a pair of Glen Cove parents
trip to Albany where they lobbied for
more Foundation Aid from the state.
With the help of Senator Jim
Gaughran, a Democrat from Northport,
Glen Cove’s representatives were able
to garner $1.2 million more in Founda-
tion Aid than would have been initially
granted under the state’s Foundation
Aid formula. Also, at just short of 2
percent, the district’s tax levy is signifi-
cantly less than the average 2.3 percent
in Nassau County.
There are several additions coming
to the district through this new budget,
with the biggest two being the institu-
tion of a nine-period day at Glen Cove
High School and increased security
throughout the district.
This nine-period day would be a vital
component in improving the lives and
education of the district’s high school-
ers. Every student would have a man-
dated lunch period, removing the stress
of having to eat lunch in the middle of
class. And additional coursework
would become available for students
who wish to earn more credits, and stu-
dents in need of more help would be
able to take an extra class geared
toward improving their abilities in a
particular subject. In essence, this bud-
get would greatly enhance the educa-
tion received by Glen Cove’s oldest stu-
dents.
The need for greater security in the
district’s buildings is self-explanatory.
In an age where gun violence in schools
has almost become frequent, American
schools need to place a huge emphasis
on security in order to keep its students
safe. Glen Cove schools want to protect
the city’s children, and this budget
would greatly help it in doing so.
The budget will also address two of
the most pervasive issues that were
present in the $84.6 million bond that
failed to pass in March — the replace-
ment of the roof at Landing Elementa-
ry School and a new PA system as
Deasy Elementary School.
However, it cannot be understated
that the projects listed under the bond
cannot all be addressed by a school bud-
get. We believe that a bond is still need-
ed to help the district reach its full
potential, but this budget is still a big
step forward in the success of the Glen
Cove City School District.
We urge voters to adopt the 2019-20
school budget on May 21.

Once every 10 years, state legisla-
tures across the country play a
game known as reapportion-
ment. After the federal census is
completed, your elected state legislators
will decide what each legislative district
will look like in the years to come. A dis-
trict map will be drawn, which will show
you what federal and state election district
you will vote in for
the next 10 years.
If you’ve never
seen a map of the
current districts,
you’d find it fasci-
nating. They take
the shape of alliga-
tors, inkblots,
clouds and even, in
one case in central
New York, Presi-
dent Lincoln rid-
ing a vacuum
cleaner. For each
odd shape, there is a political explanation
as to how it got there. Districts are almost
always crafted to protect some incumbent
or to make it more likely that a newly
anointed candidate will win.
In the late 1960s, I served in the State
Assembly in a district that included the
Village of Island Park. It’s a cute little
town, and the residents were very welcom-
ing during my short tenure in Albany. But
the mapmakers wanted to create a district
for the then future, and now former,
assemblyman, Armand D’Amato, so
between one election and the next, Island
Park was removed from my
district.
That was a minor change
compared with what the
mapmakers did after that.
When the final map was
unveiled, my Assembly dis-
trict, which had encom-
passed communities includ-
ing Merrick, Freeport and
Baldwin, had disappeared,
and the new district includ-
ed my hometown of Long
Beach and the entire Five
Towns. Having a new area
with many Democrats was very gratify-
ing, except that there was already an
incumbent in that district, the late Eli
Wager. That meant that he and I were
forced to compete in a bitter party prima-
ry in the new district, which I was fortu-
nate enough to win.
The process by which my district disap-
peared overnight is what we have come to
know as gerrymandering. The practice of
slicing and dicing legislative districts
dates back to 1812, when Elbridge Gerry,
the governor of Massachusetts, signed a
bill that created a Boston district that
looked like a salamander. From that point
on, districts began resembling all manner
of species, and the shape of those districts
was determined by racial,
religious, political and eth-
nic factors.
In 2020, you’ll hear a lot
more about gerrymander-
ing. Based on the anticipat-
ed census figures, New York
is expected to lose two mem-
bers of Congress. No doubt,
one upstate district will be
merged into an adjoining
one, and a downstate district
will have the same fate. That
will make it likely that two
or more current members
of Congress will be forced into competi-
tive battles for their jobs.
If you think the next legislative map of
New York and the rest of the country is
going to be drawn by political cartogra-
phers, you’re in for a surprise. The U.S.
Supreme Court has grown weary of listen-
ing to challenges to redistricting. It has
one case now pending before it, and a
number of lower federal courts have
already struck down the legislative maps
in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
all of those cases, the newly drawn dis-
tricts favored Republicans.
The judges in those cases decided that
too many voters of one party were packed
into isolated districts in order to tilt the
elections toward the majority party. In
addition, districts with heavy minority
populations were redrawn to dilute the
influence of those particular ethnic
groups.
It’s fair to say that political gerryman-
dering may soon be in its dying days, and
that new legislative districts around the
country will better reflect the people who
live in them. The downstate region,
including Long Island, must not be

Cutting villages in half and creating oddly
shaped districts could be a thing of the
past. It only took 206 years for this reckon-

more representative democracy will
arrive in our voting booths..

Hoping for the end of gerrymandering
LETTERS FRAMEWORK by Christina Daly
Vote for Ferguson and Juarez To the Editor:
There is a critically important vote
scheduled for next Tuesday, for the purpose
of electing two trustees to the Glen Cove
Board of Education. There are five candi-
dates running for the two seats, but the two
best choices are Karen Ferguson and Alex-
ander Juarez.
Ferguson has been a teacher in Glen
Cove for decades, and has not only graduat-
ed from our schools but has had children —
and now grandchildren — in them. Juarez
is currently on the school board, where he
is quite outspoken, adding great perception
and valid questioning to every meeting.
In addition to Glen Cove educational
experience, both Juarez and Ferguson have
had much experience in contract negotia-
tions as well as other financial matters,
both in the school system and outside it.
This is necessary to be able to make deci-
sions regarding the annual budgets, which
now exceed $90 million.
Since there are practically no prerequi-
sites for the position of school board trust-
ee, it is necessary to choose those with the
best qualifications. Please vote for Karen
Ferguson and Alex Juarez. Our community
will thank you.

Finances headed in wrong direction To the Editor:
Moody’s Investors Service, the highly
respected organization that rates the finan-
cial health of municipalities, among other
things, is projecting that the City of Glen
Cove is on track to lose between $1 million
and $1.5 million for 2018 alone. Why? How
about mismanagement and careless spend-
ing by the current mayor, who thinks he
can hide behind a so-called financial adviso-
ry committee and blame others for eating
up the surplus he inherited from former
Mayor Reggie Spinello’s administration?
To quote the experts at Moody’s, “[The
city’s] recently improved financial position
[under the Spinello administration] will be
tested in the near-term given expected oper-
ating deficits in 2018 and an imbalanced
budget in 2019.”
And on Feb. 4, 2019, Moody’s revised its
outlook on Glen Cove’s financial position
from “positive” to “stable,” declaring that
“reserves will likely deteriorate over the
next two years.”
Moody’s also noted that “The city’s
financial position improved dramatically
over the past three years, increasing the
available fund balance to $2 million in 2017
from negative $5.7 million in 2014.” The city
can thank the Spinello administration for
the $7.7 million financial improvement,
which is now at risk.
The current administration, in typical
politico-speak, is claiming that the decline
in anticipated revenue is due to “building

permit revenue falling well below budget,
while overtime, health insurance and ter-
mination pay were above budget.” Put in
the simplest of terms, the net result of this
excuse is that the folks running the store
don’t know how to prepare a budget that
works.
Moody’s concludes that “the [Spinello
administration’s] financial plan to improve
fund balances was working through 2017.”
That fact was noted in a state comptroller’s
report stating that the city was no longer
designated as having fiscal stress.
The explanation for this coming finan-
cial mess is simple. Elections have conse-
