Mineola Street Fair Greets Fall Despite a one-week delay, Jericho Turnpike was bustling

JANET BURNS jburns@antonmediagroup.com

Hundreds of families came out on October 9 for the 2022 Mineola Chamber of Commerce Street Fair. Scores of local vendors, community groups, and other organizations set up tents in the breezy sunshine for crowds strolling or sitting outdoors along Jericho Turnpike. Despite having to push back the event one week due to weather, Chamber of Commerce members from dozens of

industries and interests were on the scene.

Louis Panacciulli, President of the Mineola Chamber of Commerce, told Nassau Illustrated News in an email that the event went off without a hitch, and was enjoyed by all.

“We had over one hundred vendors and chamber members setting up tables and highlighting products, services, and great food. Our DJ provided great music and even had a hula hoop contest for the children. We

had two stages of continuous entertainment at either end of our Jericho Turnpike footprint, and we extended north up Willis Ave.

In addition, Panacciulli said, “Willis Hobbies had several radio controlled vehicles out for the children to enjoy playing with and the Irish American center was open with live music, food, and plenty of Guinness. New this year was a display of classic cars. And the weather couldn’t have been better.”

Children’s entertainment at the Mineola Street Fair included games, a bouncy slide, remote-control vehicles, and a clown.

One of the Mineola Fire Company’s classic engines was on display for, and admired, by all.

Live music at the fair ranged from folk favorites and live brass to rock and blues acts.

The Inis Fada Gaelic Pipe Band and other performers entertained hundreds of families gathered on Jericho Turnpike in the warm weather.

Against The Wind: One Man’s Fight

Resident urges North Hempstead to enforce gas-powered blower law

FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

Al Franklin wondered if he is the proverbial lone voice in the wilderness. Earlier this summer, he stepped out of his New Hyde Park residence to record a violation of the Town of North Hempstead noise ordinance. A landscaping firm on his block was using gas-powered blowers, flouting the town code banning such from June 15 to Sept. 15.

Following the town’s recommendations, he made note of the license plate and the business name/phone number, he related at an August Town of North Hempstead Town Board meeting. He claimed that while photographing a worker operating a backpack blower, he was deliberately sprayed with the debris generated by the powerful blasts of air.

Franklin called the police, who showed up and informed him that this was a town code enforcement problem and no charges could be filed even though he felt that he had experienced a kind of physical assault. He has appeared several times before the town board to complain about violations of the town’s restrictions.

In an interview, he asked a reporter if he knew others who had come forward with similar experiences. It seems no one has been as vocal as Franklin, but according to Supervisor Jen DeSena’s office, complaints about that noisy essential equipment for landscapers are common. The town’s 311 system was set up for residents to contact the town to request services and note code violations. The system keeps detailed track of the nature of the calls.

In an email, DeSena spokesman Brian Devine wrote, “As per 311, there have been 193 calls so far this year regarding gas powered leaf blowers, and leaf blowers being used outside of allowed hours. This is typically in line with the amount we saw the previous year (275 calls in 2021), and since there is still time left in 2022, I imagine we will match that number.”

The law governing leaf blowers was first discussed at a public hearing attended by dozens of stakeholders in September 2017 under then-Supervisor Judi Bosworth. Consequently, she set up an advisory committee which included landscapers to help shape the legislation and advise the town on landscaping matters. The ban took effect in June 2019 and mandated that electric and/ or battery-powered blowers be used during that three-month stretch.

According to Franklin, the law has not had the desired effect—at least in his neighborhood.

In an exchange with his representative, Councilman Peter Zuckerman, Franklin argued that the ban period should be lengthened, and “we need to be more creative in how we ban gas leaf blowers during the summer.”

Next to comment was Aldo Calabrese of Port Washington, a member of the North Hempstead Business Association and the Nassau-Suffolk Landscaping Grounds Association. He had argued against the ban when it was first proposed, but claimed, “We the professionals in the industry are abiding by these rules.

It’s been brought to my attention that Mr. Franklin seems to come to all these meetings and keeps harping on the same things. He will not stop. He was part of the solution with the [advisory] committee he was on. He’s no longer part of the solution. He is part of the problem.”

It’s not working well, [the blowers are] out there screaming every day. I’m being abused by landscapers.

Calabrese suggested that the board reach out to him and he would be happy to speak with Franklin.

However, Franklin claimed the committee has not met in a long time and therefore was not a vehicle for any possible solutions.

Asked, in early September, if he had seen improvements, Franklin replied, “Slightly. They don’t run [the blowers] at the full RPM and of course, that reduces the noise.”

He believes the landscapers working on either side of his house are aware of him and have modified their operations accordingly by eschewing gas blowers.

Franklin said he has called 311 and received a service response number and a promise of a callback, but was never contacted.

“I just get up there as a concerned resident,” Franklin said of his public comments.

“If you don’t say anything, they’re not going to do anything. I don’t know how serious they are on enforcing [the ban]. Maybe they are short staffed. It’s an uphill battle. And I’m not going make an assumption, but I have a feeling that the landscapers know it.”

He was also critical of homeowners who did not force their landscapers to follow the law.

At the April 28 meeting Franklin detailed the known health dangers and adverse environmental impacts of gas blowers and stated, “I worked damn hard to get where I am with my house and I can’t even go out when the landscapers come to my neighborhood. I have to ask, what are you doing? What’s going to be done?”

DeSena answered, “I think it’s a valid question. It’s something that we can’t really resolve with our three minutes, but I do appreciate you sending me the information.”

Both Franklin and DeSena made note of bills that passed in the state legislature that would establish the electronic landscaping equipment rebate program to encourage the move away from gas-powered equipment.

The supervisor, according to her spokesperson, “recognizes our residents’ frustrations with the situation, and is currently reviewing how best to move forward to address the problem.”

At a meeting earlier this year, Al Franklin of New Hyde Park stated that, according to manufacturers, an air purifying mask is needed to safely operate gas leaf blowers, and decried their adverse environmental impacts. (Photo by Frank Rizzo)

“It’s not working well, [the blowers are] out there screaming every day,” Franklin told Anton Media Group. “I’m being abused by landscapers.”

Mineola Memories: Halloween

As a youngster growing up in Mineola, Halloween was a most exciting day on the calendar - right up there with Christmas, a birthday, and the beginning of summer vacation. For weeks in advance, we kids would be revved up discussing our costumes and planning our day of receiving unlimited free hand-outs.

I was probably six years old when I joined my neighborhood friends for my first trick-or- treat undertaking. I had already owned a cowboy outfit, complete with two six-shooters, so my choice of a costume was an easy one. One year later, my Aunt Ethel gave me a most hideous, rubber pirate mask, so I built upon that theme for my new getup. The year after that, a skull mask and a sheet transformed me into a ghost.

For whatever reasons, my childhood costumes never went beyond those three. As an adult, I became more innovative when attending costume parties. On one occasion, I was inspired by an Arte Johnson character from the TV show, Laugh In. I wore cut-off shorts and work boots with no socks. I colored my hair grey and did not shave for several days. I topped this off with a raincoat and became the notorious “dirty old man.” More recently, I wore a red plaid flannel shirt and blue denim bib overalls. My head was enclosed within a mock-up of a Dell computer monitor on top of which was attached a country-style straw hat. But of course. “The Farmer in The Dell.” Such creativity evaded me as a child and I merely rotated the usual three: cowboy, pirate, ghost, cowboy, pirate, ghost, etc.

Although my trick-or-treating days began in the 1940’s and I never ventured more than a couple of blocks from home, the standard rule for everyone, even then, was to consume nothing at first, bring all the treats home, and discard the few items that were not factory packaged. With the exception of this precaution, no one felt that there was a need for any of us, no matter how young, to be accompanied by a parent.

When in eighth grade, one of my

classmates announced that he was inviting the entire class (all 82 of us) to his house for a party on Halloween evening. I was truly eager to attend, but Mom and Dad had second thoughts. The idea of a huge party with questionable supervision on the other side of town at the home of an unknown family did not set well with them. I was also detecting an unspoken concern with the fact that there would be girls present. They decreed that I would go trick-or-treating in the neighborhood with my friends, as usual. At the time, I could not comprehend the wisdom of

such a decision and I went trick-or-treating for the last time, probably disguised as myself - a sullen teenager.

Apparently, many other parents in Mineola had the same misgivings as mine. I later learned that this social event of the year was attended, not by our tremendous eighth grade enrollment, but by a handful of the host’s close neighbors.

In the decades that followed, the trick-or-treat ritual continued without me and, with the exception of a dinner- hour lull, the haunting would be non-stop from three o’clock

Culture And History Student Artwork Exhibition At The Mineola Memorial Library

Acknowledge Our History is holding an art exhibition displaying the winning works from AOH’s 2022 Students Art Competition — “Our Culture, Our History, Our Identity” — at the Mineola Memorial Library from Oct. 1 to Oct. 31.

AOH received works of all types. From painting to photography, watercolor to digital art, contestants from all over the world captured ideas that represent their culture, history, and identity. Works that

will be displayed at the exhibition include self-portraits, drawings of historical architecture, other objects — cherry blossoms, animals, folklores — symbolizing cultural elements in our daily life.

The theme, integrating culture, history, and identity, facilitated conversation between competitors and those around them. By learning about their culture from parents, neighbors, and mentors, they created artworks, reflective of their

own identity and the identity of those around them. 20 winning works were chosen. Congratulations: Alex Bai, Alexander Zhang, Alicia Morales, Bohan Jin, Chendan Zhao, Claire D’ Ambrosio, Henry Yi, Isabella Zhou, Jia Xu, Loretta Liu, Mingshi Liu, Nicolette Polena, Peilin Lü, Roselyn Ho, Sophia Liu, Steve Han, Suyeon Ryu, Zhenran He, Zhiying Liang, Zhiyue Li!

until eleven. This continuous onslaught would provide more entertainment than anything that could be found on television. Then, with the growing popularity of neighborhood parties and the unfortunate increase of real-life horror stories, it suddenly ground to a halt.

It took me some time to accept the fact that this wonderful Halloween tradition of my childhood had, like a spectral apparition, faded away. Each year, hoping not to be confronted unprepared by a mob of goblins, I always stocked up on a generous supply of candy and each year, my doorbell would remain silent. I would then be left with an amount of treats far exceeding my daily minimum requirement of sucrose. For a few years, I had dropped the candy off at a “Treatsfor-Troops” location, but several of these collection points no longer participated. As a last resort, I brought the goodies to one of the schools from which I had previously retired. My former colleagues were always happy to welcome me and to accept the candy which they distributed to their students. With each passing year, though, there were fewer people in the buildings that knew me and I found it increasingly difficult to get past the main office or even security personnel in the lobby. Rather than being a returning celebrity, I was just this old guy claiming that he had candy for the youngsters. (No, I was not wearing the cut-offs and raincoat.)

In recent years, as in the past, I make it a point to be home on Halloween to be ever on the lookout for mischief or vandalism. There is none, not even a feeble trace of shaving cream. The only way I celebrate the day now is by stocking up on quarters (no takers), watching a 1930’s James Whale horror movie and, while recalling the memories, maybe sneaking a Reese’s candy or a few M&M’s.

The Right’s Revenge: A Populist Revolt

Review of: Partisans: The Conservative Revolutionaries Who Remade American Politics In The 1990s, by Nicole Hemmer

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE

Are conservatives, who labor in liberal Western society, destined to lose? Did the populist uprisings of the 1990s lay the groundwork for Donald Trump’s victory in 2016? Does America First have a future in a post-Trump Republican Party? Nicole Hemmer’s history is another warning to liberals: Don’t count out the populist right.

The 1990s-style populism was a reaction to the failed presidency of George H.W. Bush. It was also a reaction to the frustrations of Ronald Reagan’s two terms. Reagan was plenty popular, but the former New Dealer was no populist, supporting free trade, mass immigration and democracy promotion around the world. Added to that was real discontent brewing in the heartland: Decades of stagnant wages, wars without victory, (or end), the crime wave, the attack on traditional values and American history, a lost border and with it, maybe a lost nation. Hemmer quotes Pat Buchanan’s 1992 presidential announcement speech, including lines that get to the heart of the matter.

We Republicans can no longer say it is all the liberals’ fault. It was not some liberal Democrat who declared, “Read my lips! No new taxes!,” then broke his word… It was not Edward Kennedy who railed against a quota bill, then embraced its twin. It was not Congress alone who set off on the greatest social spending spree in 60 years…No, that was done by men in whom we placed…our trust, and who then turned their backs, and walked away from us.

The book focuses on three key figures who fueled the populist drive: Buchanan, Rush Limbaugh and Newt Gingrich. There are other subjects, namely Helen Chenoweth, a far-right congresswoman from Idaho whose uncompromising style set the stage for such firebrands as Representative Marjorie Taylor-Greene (R—GA) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R—CO).

Hemmer focuses mostly on populism as an electronic media phenomenon. One chapter discusses three non-fiction books

that made a splash: Charles Murray’s The Bell Curve , Dinesh D’Souza’s The End of Racism and Peter Brimelow’s Alien Nation

The author cannot be objective. None were sensationalist. The Bell Curve , other than a controversial chapter on black and Hispanic I.Q. scores is conventional. Murray’s greatest fear is that college-educated whites might join the working-class whites in a pitchfork rebellion against liberalism. D’Souza’s tome criticized alleged racism both from the left and the right. Brimelow’s polemic made the moral case against mass immigration. When the 1965 immigration bill was enacted, Americans were told by lawmakers that no changes to the nation’s population makeup was forthcoming. They lied—and got away with it.

The populist revolt was much more than a talk show rebellion. It had deep intellectual roots, namely the achievement of such libertarians as Murray Rothbard, traditionalists M.E. Bradford and Russell Kirk, the America First opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt’s war plans and the popular presidencies of Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge.

It also had its genesis in small-circulation journals of opinion, including the October 1989 number of Chronicles calling for restrictions on legal immigration and the December 1991 number of that same publication resurrecting the original proponents of America First.

Limbaugh was influenced by Buchanan, but much more so by William F. Buckley, Jr.’s National Review . In 1992, the latter publication took its own anti-immigration position only to tone it down later in the decade.

Hemmer focuses on the unserious aspects of the movement: FOX News (Tucker Carlson being an exception), talk radio and conspiracy theorists. Fred Barnes was correct in maintaining that the media stars knew little about the literature of the postwar conservative movement. This book follows suit: There

is also no mention of such antiwar stalwarts as Joseph Sobran, Thomas Fleming, Lew Rockwell and Bill Kauffman. There is but one reference to Ron Paul and only three to Samuel T. Francis, a figure as important as Buchanan. The world of Limbaugh and his imitators was loud, but not always articulate.

Partisans is similar to Matthew Continetti’s recent history, The Right . Continetti’s effort is much more scholarly. He shares Hemmer’s distaste for modern-day populism. Continetti is, however, familiar with its intellectual antecedents. Unlike Hemmer, Continetti acknowledges that Trump Country has legitimate concerns.

The 1990s were a time of inward reflection. The Cold War was over, the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack unimaginable. During that decade, a similar rightwing populism took root in Europe. The key difference is that the working-class now had political parties that they could rally around: The National Front in France, The Northern League in Italy, the Swiss People’s Party, Norway’s Progress Party, Finland’s True Finns, Sweden’s Sweden Democrats, Austria’s Freedom Party, all the way to Hungary’s Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party.

There are no such parties in the United States (or Great Britain, Canada and Germany). Populists there are savaged into extinction in the liberal-conservative media.

They’ve also made their mistakes. The year 1992 was decisive. The populist decade began on Dec. 15, 1991, when Buchanan announced his challenge to George H.W. Bush. Buchanan’s strong showing in the New Hampshire primary inspired H. Ross Perot to mount his third-party bid. Buchanan, soon out of the race, had nice things to say about Perot’s meteoric rise. Limbaugh also praised the man. The Bush people got wind of this and invited Limbaugh to the White House for a night in the Lincoln bedroom. President Bush even

carried the man’s bags. (Did Rush give the president a tip?) Limbaugh was star struck. He called his parents in Missouri to tell them the news. He also, from that moment on, became a loyal Republican, even though late in his career, Limbaugh broke with conservatives in supporting Donald Trump.

As did Buchanan. After the 1992 election, several of Buchanan’s allies, including Francis, Fleming and Bradford urged him to give up on the GOP and to announce a third party run for 1996, heading Perot off at the pass. Buchanan declined. For 1996, he had the support of Nackey Loeb and her powerful Manchester (N.H.) Union Leader . Buchanan did win the 1996 New Hampshire primary. His campaign, however, wasn’t strong enough to go the distance.

Was a third party ever possible? It would take billions of dollars and thousands of articulate candidates running on all levels. And so, a dead end.

The populist rebellion had much to say about America’s economic and cultural decline. They just didn’t have a political party to take their case to the voters.

‘‘The conservative is the man who knows that he must lose.’’

Benefit For Children’s Center At Family Court

Family court hearings are often contentious and they are certainly no place for young ears. Luckily, with the Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court, parents and guardians have a safe place to bring children from infants to 12-year-olds while they are conducting court business.

North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which runs this important program, is holding a fundraiser to support the Children’s Center at Nassau County Court on Thursday, Oct. 27. The event will be held at Tesoro’s Ristorante, 967 Old Country Rd., Westbury, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m., and will feature cocktails, music and a buffet dinner.

“The Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court provides a valuable service because it allows children to be insulated from the stress involved in the horror of family court litigation,” fundraiser co-chair John M. Zenir. Esq said. “Just imagine a six-year-old sitting in a public waiting room outside of a courtroom not knowing what is happening. What fear and dread that child must feel. Instead, he or she can go to the Children’s Center and play with toys, read a book and have a snack while being attended to by qualified professionals.”

According to co-chair Allison Cacace, children can be traumatized if they hear their loved ones arguing in court. “The Children’s Center at Nassau County Family Court provides a safe, nurturing environ ment for children while their parents or

other caretakers sort out their legal affairs,” Tobay Day School Director/Casino One Limousines owner Cacace said. “It is ex tremely important that we raise awareness and funds for this invaluable service that makes a positive impact on children and is also greatly beneficial to those who can’t afford to pay for childcare during court sessions.”

“The mission of the Women’s Bar includes promoting the fair and equal administration of justice,” said Cherice P. Vanderhall Wilson, President of the Nassau County Women’s Bar Association, which is co-hosting the benefit. “The Children’s Center eliminates childcare as a barrier to justice and provides a resource for those who need it while they seek assistance from one the county’s most important courts.”

Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, Director of the Guidance Center’s Leeds Place, said, “The Children’s Center not only provides childcare, but it’s also an early learning environment, and each child leaves with a book to take home. We are so grateful to John, Allison and the Nassau County Women’s Bar Association for their dedication and support. We hope that all who care about children will join us on Oct. 27.”

IS IT THE WRONG MESSAGE?

Before accepting one man’s view of what they perceived to be as a “police power flag” flying from the rear of a fire truck, let’s look into the author and review what triggers this individual’s political and personal biases into action and letter writing.

First, the actual flag is accu rately called the thin blue line, yet retired teacher Frisch prefers to refer to it as “the police power flag.” Why would anyone claim that an innocuous flag like that actually be an intolerant reaction to “Black Lives Matter?” Of course the learned open-minded retired educator has concluded that “most people would agree” with his point of view. I totally disagree. He also feels that the police don’t need a special flag and that the thin blue line flag indicates that the police, (although it was flying off the rear of a fire truck), by flying this flag, indicates that the American flag isn’t good enough for them.

Clearly the “learned” retired educator has issues with alternative views and truths to his own biases and animosities towards the police by pontificating about

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

no one being above the law and that such symbols or flags like the thin blue line should not be shown on police cars, fire trucks or public buildings. What if that same flag had a red line across it supporting fire fighters instead of blue? Would that also be a counter BLM symbol to Frisch?

Clearly retired teacher Frisch has issues set off by symbols he person ally perceived as un-American. The original flag that set Frisch off was on a fire truck in apparent support for the police. People, all people, have a right to express their views, and one man’s distorted vision of an American flag with a blue line across it as being a divisive message is very telling. How one equates the thin blue line flag to the BLM movement is a giant leap of one man’s political tilt against freedom of expression and the police. I for one will not be told what to believe and what to support by the likes of Frisch and his distorted biased views.

Consider the writer’s perspec tive on views like this flag that upsets him so much to protest in writing. This very same author

was compelled to inform Delta Airlines, headquartered in Atlanta, that he will no longer fly Delta due to his negative opinion of Georgia’s voting laws. Yeah, that should bring Delta to its knees Frisch.

I’m positive Delta had absolutely nothing to do with its State’s election laws. Yet this “educated” man, who doesn’t live in Georgia, nor qualified to legally vote there, believes his views are sacrosanct and the righteous ones above anyone else’s.

So retired educator Frisch, if flags offend you don’t fly them or look at them. Do gay pride

COLUMNS

flags offend you? They fly in the halls of Congress in DC. Any feelings about those un-American symbolic flags? Should they be removed too?

It’s a flag. Nothing more, unless you clearly have issues that have ab solutely nothing to do with the flag. I think your views and opinions are pretty clear and you don’t speak for the majority you claim are behind you. For the record. I’ve never ever heard the thin blue line flag referred to as a “police power flag” until you imagined it to be such a thing. Which it clearly is NOT.

Is The MTA Serious About Funding LIRR Port Jefferson Branch Electrification?

The MTA announced that the next 20-Year Capital Needs Plan Assessment (2025-44) will be com pleted by October 1, 2023. They said “Engaging with the public and understanding the needs of our riders is critical to plan for the future of the transit system.” What ever happened to the MTA 2020-40 20-Year Capital Needs Plan? The New York State Legislature in 2019 directed the MTA to release this document prior to adoption of the $51 billion 2020-24 Five-Year Capital Plan.

They are reviewing more than 20 system expansion and enhance ment projects including the $3.8 billion LIRR Port Jefferson branch that the MTA is considering to include in the next 20-Year Plan. They have not been selected or funded but will be comparatively evaluated for consideration on a level-playing field for future FiveYear Capital Programs.

Too many of the competing projects also cost billions. They include (1) New York City Transit Manhattan Hells Kitchen 10th Avenue station on the #7 Flushing Line—$1 billion; (2)

Extension of the Brooklyn New Lots Ave #3 line—billions; (3) Brooklyn/Queens Interborough Express—MTA Chairman Janno Lieber promised it would come in under $10 billion; (4) Reactivation of the LIRR Queens Lower Montauk Branch—$2.1 billion; (5) Reactivation of the LIRR Queens Rockaway Beach Branch —$8 billion; (6) Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 to 125th Street—$6.9 billion; (7) Staten Island West Shore BRT—$1.5 billion; (8) Brooklyn Utica Avenue transit improvements—$5 to $10

billion depending upon length of the subway extension and number of stations and (9) Brooklyn W sub way line Red Hook extension—$2.9 billion; and (10) Metro North Stewart Airport Access—billions.

The current growing inflation, potential recession, ongoing supply chain issues, increasing fuel prices, rising material costs and labor shortages will only result in cost estimates going up over coming years, prior to award of any construction contracts for these potential projects

Electrification of the Port Jefferson branch has been advocat ed since the 1960’s by generations of elected officials with no success. In 1970, electrification was extend ed from Mineola to Huntington. In the 1980’s, discussions took place between the MTA, LIRR, Suffolk County and many elected officials over which branch should be electrified first. The Ronkonkoma branch was selected over the Port Jefferson branch.

Without electrification east of Huntington, Port Jefferson branch riders will not have a one-seat ride to Grand Central Madison

via the $11.2 billion East Side Access project. There is insufficient height clearance to accommodate duel mode locomotives in the 63rd Street tunnel needed for access to Grand Central Madison. Thousands of daily LIRR riders from diesel territory will still have to change at Jamaica for travel to Grand Central Madison or Atlantic Avenue Brooklyn.

Future opportunity for funding to progress this project beyond a planning study could come under upcoming MTA Five Year Capital Programs. Governor Kathy Hochul did not include this project in her January State of the State Speech or April $220 billion budget. One source of funding could be the Federal Transit Administration under the national competitive discretionary Capital Investments Grant program. A Full Funding Grant Agreement from FTA would have to be matched by a similar amount of local sources. This program funded MTA’s $11.2 billion LIRR East Side Access and New York City Transit $4.5 billion Second Avenue Subway Phase 2.

New York Finally Has Something To Cheer About

BY JERRY KREMER

There are many cities around the country that have sports teams, but there is no area in the nation with as many teams as New York City. We have baseball, basketball, hockey, football, lacrosse and soccer. All of them have their fans who are emotionally attached to them and can be fanatic at times. Luckily for us team worshipers, the year 2022, has brought us the riches of having two baseball teams that are national contenders.

Even though they have suffered some recent setbacks, the New York Mets are finally a playoff team. After years of struggle, the Mets were fortunate to get a new owner who has poured millions of dollars into the hiring of first-rate players. Regrettably, the previous owners, saddled with money losses due to the Madoff scandal, couldn’t afford to make the team competitive and they finally cashed in by selling the team to Wall Street billionaire Steve Cohen.

Across the bridge in the Bronx, the New York Yankees have enjoyed a strong season with the addition of a number of star

INSIDE POLITICS

players who have helped the team win its first division title in over five years. The key to the Yankee’s success has been the brilliant performance by outfielder Aaron Judge. There is no team in Major League Baseball that can boast of having a player who hit a record breaking 62 homeruns and competed for other titles as well.

The emergence of the Mets and the Yankees comes at a time when New York City is grappling with numerous problems from crime to the overflow of

immigrants, courtesy of Texas Governor Abbott. Having two teams competing in the baseball playoffs has injected an air of excitement that New York has not felt in years. Every local fan likes to dream about a “subway series” and hopefully the two teams will eventually get to that point.

The Giants and Jets have followed their usual course of playing. While the Giants have started their season with a few wins, over the years they have fallen apart by mid-season. There is a glimmer of hope that they will keep winning and at least make the playoffs, which will make their fans delirious. The Jets just might be turning the corner with a couple of improbable come-from-behind wins. Their dedicated fans contin ue to be hopeful, so hopefully they won’t be having to go down that “Same Old Jets’ Path. If that comes to be the case, then some of the executives should be fired because you can’t fire a team.

But for now, we owe a large “thank you” to the owners of both the Mets and the Yankees. New Yorkers needed a shot of excitement and the two teams have

given us the October surprise that we have been hoping for. What will happen in the weeks ahead is out of our hands, but our friends and neighbors have a pleasant distraction from the burdens of dealing with the stresses of city and suburban living.

PENNER from page 6A

Port Jefferson electrification was not included within President Biden’s FY23 budget requests $21.1 billion for transit and $17.9 billion for rail. It is not included in the FTA FY 2023 Capital Investment Grants New Starts or Core Capacity Program Funding Recommendations.

could require a decade or more. Based upon my past experiences on other FTA MTA LIRR projects, electrification of the Port Jefferson branch may not happen until 2040.

Failure to include Port Jefferson branch electrification in the upcoming MTA 20-Year Capital Needs Plan means end of the line for this project for decades more to come.

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Dazzles At Old Bethpage Village

Master carver shares inspiration and secrets

CHRISTY HINKO chinko@antonmediagroup.com

Asmall team of local artists, led by Creative Director Michael Natiello, have hand-carved more than 7,000 jack o’lanterns for this year’s Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Old Bethpage Village Restoration, creating elaborate pumpkin sculptures for the returning walk-through experience on the grounds of the 19th-century village.

We recently had a chance to speak with Carol Hough, one of the local carvers from Massapequa, who shared some cool ideas and insights to this year’s event.

QWhy do you carve pumpkins?

A I grew up in a home where not only did we do a lot of arts and crafts, but Halloween was a big holiday—big decorations, homemade costumes, lots of home baked goodies and of course carving pumpkins. When I was approached about carving pumpkins as a paid job, I jumped at the chance. I get to be creative and have fun while working outdoors with an amazing group of talented people. What could be better than that?

QIs your skill limited to pumpkins or so you carve other materials?

A I have carved wood, as well as sculpted clay and even marble. And in summertime the occasional watermelon works as well as a pumpkin.

QWhat’s your favorite carving at this year’s exhibit?

A I love carving the prize winners, the big 100-plus pound pumpkins. This year we have two next to the Emoji panel display, and the kids really think they are funny. And although I did not create them, I love the sea creature section. It is just stunning.

QHow do you get your inspiration?

AThe children that come to the show are a huge inspiration. I like to watch their reactions, and then add more of what they enjoy.

QHow did you learn the techniques needed to achieve incredible finished result?

AA lot of what I learned while sculpting clay or carving wood can be applied to the pumpkins. It took a while to learn how to create 3D effects using light. The fully cut areas will be pure light, the etched kind of areas will change in tone depending on how deep you go. And you learn to improvise and not worry about being perfect.

Ticket and date information

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze has limited capacity and all admissions are by advance purchase timed ticket or FLEX anytime ticket. No tickets are sold on site.

Remaining Long Island dates are Oct. 19 through 23; 26 through 31 and Nov. 4 through 6

Online tickets start at $32 for adults and $24 for children 3-17 and are free for children 2 and under.

All tickets must be purchased online. The event is held rain or shine. Proceeds support Historic Hudson Valley, the Tarrytown-based private, nonprofit educational organization, and Nassau County’s Old Bethpage Village Restoration.

The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze Shop offers a selection Blaze-specific merchandise including T-shirts and hats.

Old Bethpage Village Restoration is located at 1303 Round Swamp Rd. in Old Bethage.

Visit www.pumpkinblaze.org for more information.

QHow do you work around a carving error?

AThat happens a lot, and you just have to add or subtract from your design to fit it in somehow. And usually, even though I know where the error is, the person looking at it won’t be able to see it.

QWhat tools do you use to create?

AThe two main tools for live pumpkins are sheetrock knives for carving and ice cream scoops for cleaning/scraping out the seeds and pumpkin guts. For more detailed live pumpkins, as well as the pumpkins we use for large displays, we use a lot of different sized carving knives like you would find in the carving kits at the store as well as sculpting tools, like loop and ribbon tools, Exacto knives and a Dremel.

Hough has been the production coordinator and lead carver since 2020. She is an artist who focuses on painting, photography and sculpting. Hough is also a dedicated volunteer for Splashes of Hope, a nonprofit organization of mural artists dedicated to transforming healthcare environments. Through Splashes for Hope, Hough has worked on multiple projects including ceiling tiles for local hospitals that were used in children’s and maternity departments under the project name “From Clinical to Colorful.”

Tribute to the Island

Steve Garvey On CBD, Sports, And That New York Energy

JANET BURNS

In the years since baseball icon Steve Garvey was named National League MVP back in 1974, there have been many changes in Major League Baseball, including adjustments to league positions on marijuana, a.k.a. cannabis. Specifically, MLB has removed cannabis from the league’s list of banned substances, and most recently, allows teams to accept cannabidiol (CBD) sponsorships.

During his MLB career, Garvey set a National League record by playing in 1207 consecutive games, and became a 10-time All-Star and World Series Champion in 1981. Years later, after having a shoulder injury, he helped formulate LEVEL SELECT CBD, and found that using CBD was the only way to get restful sleep.

As co-founder of Kadenwood, a vertically integrated firm handling hemp-derived CBD products, Garvey is part of a growing number of retired athletes at the forefront of the movement for and a strong advocate for CBD’s benefits to athletes.

Garvey checked in with Anton Media Group this fall about the work he’s been doing lately, as well as the experiences that led him to step up to the plate for CBD.

ANTON MEDIA GROUP: What are some of the biggest wellness or health challenges that you see in MLB, or major-league sports generally, at this time?

STEVE GARVEY: Athletes are always concerned with body pain from overuse and pushing their limits, in addition to mental health. The great thing is, CBD has the ability to address both those issues from the core and even prevent them all together. CBD is still being studied from a medical perspective, but has shown promise and potential to provide physical and mental health benefits and help regulate the endocannabinoid system, to allow for optimal performance.

AMG: What are some of the biggest challenges, and biggest strengths, that you see in the field of cannabinoid medicine at this time? Biggest strengths?

SG: The biggest strengths definitely stem from the potential benefits it has in treating

vast amounts of ailments. The biggest challenges are in the regulation we face in developing, manufacturing, cultivating, and testing cannabis in order to bring these possible treatments to the public.

AMG: Can you share a memory of a time, during your playing career or otherwise, when you wish you’d had access to CBD?

SG: Baseball is a grueling sport, especially on the joints. It’s also one of the longest running sports seasons, with more than 100 games and nine months of play action, including preseason. CBD was completely prohibited and options were not available during my entire career playing the game. I wish I had access to it every game I played. It would have been much more healthy and less harmful for my body than the pain relieving methods we accessed at that time. For example, imagine having to constantly throw a ball at very high speeds over and over again. The overuse of the elbow joint can lead to major [issues] and relief was always needed even during games.

AMG: What do you want people who are not familiar with cannabinoids, or with CBD’s increasing allowance and role in pro sports, to know about cannabinoid medicine?

SG: That it is not what they likely assume it is. No one is abusing substances or doing anything illegal or damaging to their bodies in ways illicit drugs do. CBD is not intoxicating and has tremendous potential for widespread use in mainstream medicine. We just need to spread awareness around its safety and efficacy.

AMG: Any shout-outs for our region, from your memories of playing here?

SG: The fans. I always loved playing in New York and couldn’t wait for those games. The crowds who attend are unlike any other in the country. There’s just an electricity in the air that you can’t deny and it fueled my performance. I don’t have to tell you that New York brings the energy, you know that, but... they really do.

Town Demolishes Hicksville Zombie Home

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino joined with Town Clerk Rich LaMarca, Receiver Jeff Pravato and the Town’s Highway and Planning & Development crew to commence the demolition of an abandoned, long-dilapidated zombie home on West Cherry Street in Hicksville. This longtime eyesore was recently court-granted for demolition following multiple complaints from neighbors and the home being deemed in a state of disrepair and unfit for human occupancy.

“When our code enforcement bureau first started inspecting this property, there were multiple living areas set up, presumably for illegal tenancy. These dangerous conditions were found throughout the home, including in the attic,” said Saladino. “Over the years, this property was found to have multiple violations of town code and the property owner was given many opportunities to bring the house to code, most of which were ignored. Once our administration stepped in and changed the process, we made it possible to rid neighborhoods of eyesores such as this one with the creation of our quality of life taskforce.”

Saladino explained that the house was eventually abandoned, and the town continued inspections and took legal action while ensuring the safety of the local community. All property cleanups and any other work performed at this location by Town personnel were charged back to the property owner, not town taxpayers.

“Stronger laws on the books not only help rid these eyesores from our community, they have also increased the town’s ability to seek restitution from property owners and lending institutions in violation of town code,” said Pravato.

“This is exactly what we’re all about—working together with our residents to protect our communities and our residents’ quality of life,” added LaMarca. “Together, we will continue addressing concerns which negatively impact our neighborhoods.”

The town code enforcement bureau of the department of planning and development is charged with the enforcement of all codes, rules and regulations pertaining to zoning, housing and public safety. It is expressly designed to handle requests of citizens regarding possible violations.

Upstanders For Holocaust Education

An evening which included music, singing and a host of awards was creatively set within a framework defined by the immortal words, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The phrase was repeated often on Tuesday, Sept. 13, at the 3rd Annual Remembrance Awards Dinner held by Voices for Truth and Humanity at the Crest Hollow Country Club.

The organization, whose mission is to fight hate and intolerance by promoting a curriculum on the Holocaust and all genocides in public schools, hosted numerous dignitaries, elected officials, and prominent guests among the over 200 in attendance. Those included New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, New York State Assemblyman Steve Stern, New York State Regent Roger Tilles, New York Board of Rabbis Executive Vice President Rabbi Joe Potasnik, founder and CEO of the Jewish Broadcasting Service Rabbi Mark S. Golub, Prime Minister of the East Turkistan Government-in-Exile Salih Hudayar and member of the Bielski Partisans and Holocaust survivor Martin Bloch.

Public Service Awards were

presented to New York State Senator Anna Kaplan and New York State Assemblywoman Nily Rozic for their relentless work in authoring legislation to strengthen Holocaust Education in New York State public schools, which was recently signed by Governor Hochul. An award was also presented to City National Bank as the event’s corporate honoree for their tremendous support, while the Jewish Broadcasting Service deservedly received this year’s Media Award. Gurwin Healthcare System President and CEO Stuart Almer showed a very moving video of several Holocaust survivors who are being cared for in Gurwin’s

Fay J. Lindner Residences, some of whom were also in attendance and received an ovation from the audience.

The evening’s speakers acknowl edged the organization’s vital work and sounded a common theme that the rising atmosphere of hate, intolerance and antisemitism is a warning to not allow today’s chil dren to become the next generation of victims and bystanders due to their ignorance of history.

The Safe Center Hosts ‘One Too Many’ Event Newbold Family raises more than $1,000 to support child abuse victims

More than 30 members of Long Island’s Newbold family, led by Aileen Newbold, detective with the Nassau Police Department Special Victims Squad, plus friends from the 4th Precinct of the Nassau Police Department, recently gathered in Eisenhower Park to raise money in the “One Too Many” 5K, a virtual event that Newbold and her family decided to make into an in-person one.

Altogether, the family raised $1,000 to benefit The Safe Center, a nonprofit, the leading victim service organization in Nassau County. The entire virtual event raised more than $6,000.

“We always do these walks as a family, we do the Avon breast cancer walk every October and the Arthritis Foundation walk every December to honor family members” Newbold said. “So when the opportunity came about to help The Safe Center and the work they do with victims of child abuse and domestic violence, it’s a win for us all.”

The entire family wore blue, the

color ribbon which symbolizes sol idarity with victims of child abuse and decorated their outfits with emblems from the Nassau Police Department, New York City Fire Department (Newbold’s husband is with the FDNY) and walked the route they plotted themselves around Field 4.

“This is an important cause for me because it’s what I do,” Newbold said. “We’re helping people by raising money which is used to support these families in times of crisis, and then I get to go back to work and continue to

assist them by providing closure and justice by locking up the bad guys. Helping families is what we do at SVS.”

In the past year, The Safe Center has responded to 6,195 hotline calls and assisted 3,819 survivors im pacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking and child sexual and severe physical

abuse. More than 27,000 people attended educational trainings rais ing awareness on how to recognize, responded to and prevented future incidents of abuse.

“We greatly appreciate the dedication of Detective Newbold, her family, and everyone who participated in the walk,” Safe Center Executive Director Cindy

Scott said. “Our partnership with the Nassau County Police Department is an invaluable tool in assisting victims of domestic violence, child abuse and many other forms of violence find the support and resources they need to escape their tormentors and start new lives.”

How Blackmore’s Night Found Solace With Nature’s Light

DAVE GIL de RUBIO

itchie Blackmore’s version of the Great Resignation came about 25 years ago when he decided to hang up his rock and roll shoes and chose to pursue his passion for Renaissance music with spouse Candice Night in Blackmore’s Night. Gone were the Stratocasters and Marshall amplifiers and in were centuries-old instruments like nyckleharpes and hurdy gurdys along with a deep dive into music of the 15th and 16th centuries. With the duo of Blackmore and Night serving as the constant in Blackmore’s Night and its revolving line-up of musicians, the journey began with the 1997 debut Shadow of the Moon which included compositions by Renaissance era composers like Pierre Attaingnant and Tielman Susato along with a number of originals and a cover of contemporary Swedish outfit Rednex and their 1995 ballad “Wish You Were Here.” A quarter of a century later, the Mount Sinai-based couple are dusting off Nature’s Light, the band’s eleventh studio album. Eight Blackmore/Night compositions make up the record’s 10 cuts along with a reworking of the aforementioned Rednex song and a cover of Sarah Brightman’s “Second Element.” And while it would be natural to assume this was a pandemic record, Nature’s Light was actually recorded right before the pandemic hit at a time

when the duo was going through a lot of pain and loss. Night’s 80-yearold father was diagnosed with cancer back in 2018 and passed within a year, while Blackmore’s brother succumbed to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the same time. Going into a project like this was understandably a difficult endeavor for both artists.

“In the year 2018 when we went into the studio and had our producer come out from Los Angeles to record all of these songs, it was a very dark and difficult year for us,” Night shared. “The closest people to our hearts left and there were these big dark holes in our souls. Before we went into record, I know I was at the point where I didn’t feel like singing. I felt like a ghost of myself. I decided at that point that maybe the best way to get over my deep sadness was turning it into something I could write about. It was very cathartic going through all these emotions. Meanwhile, at the end of it, the pandemic hit.”

Blackmore agreed that focusing on the creative process helped him navigate the pain he was experiencing at the time.

“I really believe that when one is suffering from grief, you should get really involved in your work so you can try and forget what’s going on,” he said.

The mood throughout the album is one of lightness and brings to mind tankards of ale being tossed back, peasant blouses, madrigals and the kind of fanfare you might hear in the court of a Medieval king. With the

current range of fantasy-flavored series like House of the Dragon and The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power being all the rage, do the duo ever think their material might be a good fit?

“It is interesting because there are so many period pieces, whether it’s on television or films that come out and do so well,” Night said. “The irony is that the only time one of our songs was used was in a Jim Carrey movie called Yes Man and they used ‘Old Mill Inn’ at a party he was at.”

Blackmore added, “It’s funny, because I don’t follow that kind of thing. I’m more of a purist and want to be in the wood myself hearing a piece of music written in the 1500’s or 1600’s. There’s only one film we saw—Elizabeth, where they actually played three real Renaissance songs played in the correct manner with the correct instruments. I was thrilled by the fact that they’d taken the chance to play it as it was supposed to be played. But it’s very seldom that you’ll hear these songs or melodies played in the correct manner.”

Blackmore’s Night will be playing on October 30 at Sony Hall, 235 W. 46th St., NYC. Visit www.sonyhall.com or call 212-997-5123 for more information. The band will also be playing on Nov. 18 at the Patchogue Theatre for the Performing Arts, 71 E. Main St., Patchogue.

Opening lead — king of diamonds.

Anyone could make four hearts on this deal if he knew which oppo nent had the jack of clubs. As the cards lie, all South has to do is to lead a club toward his hand at some stage and play the nine after East follows low.

But this approach would fail if West had the jack of clubs. In that case, declarer would succeed by leading a club from his hand and finessing the ten.

Since there is no way South can tell which opponent has the jack, he should look for a line of play that avoids subjecting himself to a blind guess. Obviously, the best

chance is to find the opposing spades divided 3-3, in which case dummy’s fourth spade can be estab lished by conceding two spade tricks early in the play.

This thought is certainly a step in the right direction, but it doesn’t go quite far enough. The reason is that declarer can also make his contract in many cases where the spades break 4-2, provided the proper advance preparations are made.

South should therefore shape his play to cater to both the 3-3 and 4-2 possibilities. After ruffing the open ing diamond lead, he plays a heart to the ace, ruffs a diamond high, leads a heart to the nine and ruffs dummy’s last diamond high.

The ace and another spade are now played. West wins the second spade with the queen (East cannot profitably afford to overtake) and finds himself endplayed. If he returns a club, the guess for the jack is eliminated, while if he leads a diamond instead, declarer ruffs in one hand and discards a club from the other.

West’s actual spade holding is only one of many doubleton com binations either defender could hold that would allow South to fulfill the contract. The K-x, Q-x, J-x or K-Q, K-J, Q-J in either opponent’s hand would all prove fatal for the defense. All declarer has to do is to eliminate dummy’s diamonds before tackling the spades.

Moreover, the Village Administrator and Buildings Superintendent will confirm if the Village can apply for NYSERDA (New York State Energy Research and Development Authority) or PSEG programs that may include Photovoltaic power systems.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK 2022

The Garden City Fire Department teamed up with the National Fire Protection Association to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week, October 9-15, 2022. The Department hosted its annual Open House in support of this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape,” on Sunday, October 16th from 12 noon until 3:00 p.m. at Garden City Fire Headquarters. “It’s important for everyone to plan and practice a home fire escape. Everyone needs to be prepared in advance, so that they know what to do when the smoke alarm sounds. Given that every home is different, every home fire escape plan will also be different,” said Chief

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

As a disabled woman, only I know what is best for my body and my circumstances. No one can, will or should control what decisions I make in my best interest. My life as a disabled woman is precarious. Every decision I make is weighed and calculated. Getting pregnant is not an option for me and what contraception I use is a decision that is private. But the thought of contraception failure is realistic and in the world of the [many current electeds], I would be forced to have a pregnancy that could potentially kill me. How utterly frightening is that?

Following the Supreme Court’s radical decision on Roe v. Wade, disabled women need to understand the position of candidates on this issue at the local and federal levels. Those candidates who voted against the Reproductive Health Act in the State Senate and similar legislation at the Federal level are on the radar with voters like me come November. They need to understand that there are nuances for each and every disabled woman that influences personal decisions. Autonomy over our bodies is on the ballot. Our lives are on the ballot. That personal decision begins on Election Day.

Matthew Pearn. “Have a plan for everyone in the home. Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Make sure that someone will help them!”

The Garden City Fire Department wants to share these key home fire escape planning tips:

• Make sure your plan meets the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

• Smoke alarms should be installed inside every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of your home. Smoke alarms should be interconnected so when one sounds, they all sound.

• Know at least two ways out of every

room, if possible. Make sure all doors and windows open easily.

• Have an outside meeting place a safe distance from your home where everyone should meet.

• Practice your home fire drill at least twice a year with everyone in the household, including guests. Practice at least once during the day and at night.

Carle Place Student Musician Wows Board Of Education

During the Carle Place School District’s board of education meeting on Sept. 29, Rushmore Avenue student and talented pianist Calla Jin was honored for being named one of only 10 student-musicians in the state to perform in the New York State School Music Association’s upcoming piano showcase. The piano showcase is part of the 2022 All-State Winter Conference which will be held from Dec. 1-4 in Rochester.

The talented fifth grader performed a level 6 piece from Felix Mendelssohn entitled “Spinning Song” at the start of the board meeting and received a standing ovation from board members. This was the same music piece that Jin performed during her All-State audition last spring where she received a perfect score. Level 6 pieces are

typically performed by high school juniors and seniors, but Jin embraced the challenge and had an exceptional audition as a fourth grader.

Jin’s music teacher Lora Elsirgany shared with the board members how gifted the young pianist is as she listed her many accolades. Jin has been playing the piano since she was four and a half years old and has already performed internationally. She is also a student at the Manhattan School of Music.

Rushmore Avenue principal Catherine Silletti presented Jin with flowers and a certificate from the board during the meeting to celebrate her outstanding achievement.

Long Island Local To Be Inducted In New York State Baseball Hall Of Fame

Lou Bernardi to join legendary players, coaches, writers in HOF

JANET BURNS

One of Herricks High School’s busiest alumni will soon join the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.

Lou Bernardi, 34, Herricks Class of ‘06, found out last month that he’ll join the ranks of legends like like Mickey Mantle, Keith Hernandez, and even former NYS Governor Mario Cuomo as part of the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame’s Induction Class of 2023.

Fellow members of the Induction Class of 2023 include author Erik Sherman, Long Island Baseball’s Mike Leiderman, former major leaguer and current broadcaster for the Seattle Mariners Dave Valle, World Series winning manager Jack McKeon and former major leaguer Bob Aspromonte.

A 2011 graduate of New York Institute of Technology, where he played four seasons for the Bears and studied criminal justice, Bernardi played professionally after college with the St. George Roadrunners of the Golden Baseball League. He has also served as a volunteer coach and a mentor in numerous student leagues along the way.

Bernardi is now in his 12th year coaching collegiate baseball, and has been a member of Head Coach Michael Notebaert’s coaching staff as the Mariners’ Pitching Coach and Recruiting Coordinator at the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point since the 2019 season.

In his five years at USMMA, Bernardi won the USMMA Athletics’ Power of Inspiration Award and SAAC’s Mark J. Paradiso Service Award, among other honors, and was named Collegiate Baseball Newspaper’s 2021 NCAA Pitching Coach of the Year for all three divisions after he helped lead the Mariners to the 2021 Skyline Conference Championship, the first in Academy history.

In a phone interview, Bernardi told Anton Media Group that he’s thrilled about his induction, which he admitted he wasn’t expecting for a few more years.

Bernardi said that part of what he does in his current job is reach out to community leaders and organizations about his team; he also serves as a recruiting coordinator, in addition to coaching pitchers.

After spending time with teams ranging from Division I to Little League, Bernardi said, he always gives the same advice to other ambitious young people.

“Whether I’m talking to players or coaches, my message is actually the same: it’s to trust the process,” he said.

“As a young coach, I was a volunteer for four years, working crazy hours, making no money. I grinded it out, I paid my dues, and 13 years later I have a great job.”

He chuckled and added, “It’s not always a glorifying and gratifying occupation, but I stuck it out, with huge support from my family and friends.”

When asked who he’s been rooting for this past Major League Baseball season, Bernardi admitted, “I actually don’t root for any specific teams. I root for specific players, and I always root for players who do the right thing on and more importantly off the field.”

Lou Bernardi has been working at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy for five years, but his baseball journey began much earlier.
