The Ways We Remember: Veterans Day 2022

TOP STORY

Honor the fallen, support our soldiers

AMANDA OLSEN aolsen@antonmediagroup.com

ovember 11, whether brisk and barebranched or soggy and leaf-strewn, always marks a day of remembrance and honor for our nation’s military veterans. The slogan “all gave some, some gave all,” though oft repeated, still holds true. It is a time to remember them and treasure the freedom their sacrifice affords. Veterans Day began as Armistice Day, which signified the end of World War I. The ceasefire that effectively marked the end of the war commenced at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918. The eleventh of November became a federally recognized holiday in 1938 and was changed to Veterans Day in 1954 to recognize veterans of all wars. It is still celebrated as Armistice Day in other parts of the world. While Memorial Day honors those who died in military service, Veterans Day is meant to celebrate the service of all U.S. military veterans. It’s often marked with parades and ceremonies that give the public the chance to thank service men and women for their sacrifices. Two organizations that have been instrumental in supporting U.S. veterans for more than 100 years are the VFW and the American Legion. The VFW, or Veterans of Foreign Wars, began in 1899, when veterans banded together to secure benefits for their service. The American Legion was created by Congress in 1919 as a national veterans organization. Without these groups there would be no Veterans Administration, no national cemetery system, no GI bill and no

At the November 2 meeting of American Legion Post #304, Commander John Iacono presented Dr. Richard Heinl with a certificate in appreciation for his service. He also received a Proclamation from the Town of North Hempstead. Richard Heinl was born on October 24, 1924. His family moved to Munsey Park early in his childhood, making Manhasset his hometown. After high school he majored in pre-med at Fordham University. During World War II he was drafted and inducted into the Army. Because he was a pre-med student the army asked him if he would be a medic. He replied that he would rather be a rifleman because he thought his chances of survival would be better. In combat at that time the German soldiers were using the painted red cross on a white background on a medic’s helmet for targets. Heinl served the US

Army during war with the 94th Infantry Division, 376th Regiment on the front lines in France and Germany. At one point his unit was assigned to the third Army under General George Patton in the relief of Bastonge during the Battle of the Bulge. He was awarded the Bronze Star for that service. After the war he became a dentist and practiced in Manhasset. He also became a pilot and flew his airplane out of Zahn’s airport. In 1960 Dr. Heinl survived a plane crash when another plane that didn’t see him collided with his plane while landing. He survived major injuries to his face and spine. After recovering he became an accomplished skier, traveling to all parts of the American west as well as Europe. His summers were spent racing sailboats around Shelter Island winning the title several times. Dr. Heinl still enjoys golf and skiing when the opportunity arises. Richard married a beautiful Scottish

lass, Isabelle, and they had three children together. He is now the grandfather of six. After a number of years of practicing general dentistry, Richard went to Columbia University School of Dental Medicine and became an orthodontist. He continued to practice orthodontics in Manhasset until a few years ago. Dr. Heinl also joined the faculty at Fairleigh Dickenson University School of Dentistry and taught in their graduate orthodontic program. Heinl has been a member of the American Legion for 76 years. “It was good to be with friends that had experienced some of the things you had, trying to stay alive and fight,” he said, when asked of his experience as a member. His advice for living a full life is much what you would expect from a member of the greatest generation: “It means a lot

VETERANS DAY from page 3 when you’re kind and thoughtful. When you think of the other person, it pays dividends. When you help others, it seems you are helping yourself at the same time.” Nationally. the most active cohort of veterans for most organizations are those from the Vietnam war. Ken Kraft, a Vietnam veteran and member of the Port Washington VFW and American Legion post 336, is working hard to preserve the memory of those who were lost and uplift those who remain. ”In this day and age with so much negativity everywhere, we should take a moment to realize how fortunate so many of us Americans are and appreciate what our veterans have done to preserve our way of life.” Kraft said. Kraft lost many friends from Port Washington and Manhasset in Vietnam. He and his friend Bill Manfredonia created a graphic honoring some of these soldiers, which was then turned into a magnet to be displayed on their vehicle in the Port Washington Veterans Day parade November 11. “Three of these soldiers were in Paul D. Schreiber High School with me. Bill Polchow and Rich Ferguson were in my Class of ‘63, while Bobby Zwerlein was in the Class of ‘64. Bruce Eliot (of Manhasset) was a volunteer fireman with me at Flower Hill Hose Company back in the mid ‘60s. Francis Trinchitella I believe was in the Class of ‘68. All of these men 14

are on the Wall at the Vietnam Memorial in Washington D.C. These young men, all ages 20 to 26, died serving the country they loved and I wanted to acknowledge their efforts.” Kraft said. Another way Kraft is keeping the flame is through a small museum at Post 336. In 2013, he and another post member, Joe Brandes, upgraded the trophy case on the lower level to house military paraphernalia

from the Civil War to the War on Terror. These artifacts were donated by members and their friends and neighbors. The collection includes many personal items from World War II, Korea and Vietnam. There are uniforms, equipment, and ephemera on display. The museum is free and open to the public by appointment. The annual Port Washington Veterans Day Car Parade will take place On Friday,

November 11. It will run from Campus Drive starting at 9:45 and will run to the Sousa band shell, where the Veterans Ceremony will take place promptly at 11:00.

Electric Vehicle Chargers Coming to North Hempstead Parks

n October 25, New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan hosted a press event at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park, NY with Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey, Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte, Town of North Hempstead Councilman Peter Zuckerman, and local electric vehicle (EV) drivers to announce the Power Up in a Park Initiative that will bring 30 new electric vehicle charging stations to 7 community parks in the Town of North Hempstead. This is the first major investment in public charging stations on Nassau County’s North Shore, and it was made possible by a $500,000 grant secured by Senator Kaplan. Senator Anna M. Kaplan said “there are more electric cars on Long Island roads than ever before, but there has never been any significant investment in public charging stations for drivers in our community to use. With our ‘Power Up in a Park’ Initiative, we’re more than tripling the number of charging stations available in North Hempstead, and we’re giving residents another excuse to get out of the house and visit a park. I’m proud to have secured $500,000 for this vital investment in our green future, and I’m grateful for my partners in the Town of North Hempstead who are going to get it done.” The Town of North Hempstead on Nassau County’s North Shore is home to over 231,000 residents, but according to

New York State Senator Anna M. Kaplan announced an electrical vehicle infrastructure initiative on October 25 at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park alongside Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey, Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte, and Town of North Hempstead Councilman Peter Zuckerman. plugshare.com, a popular site to locate EV chargers, there are only 8 public EV chargers available within the Town’s borders. “Power Up in a Park” will see the installation of 30 level 2 chargers, which can give a vehicle 20-30 miles of range per hour of charge, in 7 Town parks. The parks currently being considered for this initiative are Michael J. Tully Park in New Hyde Park, Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park, Town Dock in Port Washington, North Hempstead Beach Park in Port Washington, Mary Jane Davies Park in Manhasset, Clark Botanical Gardens in Albertson, and The Yes We Can Community Center in Westbury.

With rising gas prices and new incentives from the Federal Government boosting interest in electric vehicles, EV sales have seen a sharp increase in the US during the first half of 2022 when compared to the same period in 2021, rising from 3.6 percent of all new vehicles in the US to 6.2 percent. Unfortunately, the region’s charging station infrastructure has not kept pace with vehicle sales, holding back many potential car buyers from choosing an electric vehicle due to “range anxiety,” or the fear that a vehicle won’t be able to reach a charging station before running out of power. By expanding access to charging stations,

more Long Islanders will feel comfortable making the switch to an electric vehicle in the future. “Thank you to Senator Anna Kaplan for your dedication and commitment to combat climate change and promote environmental conservation,” said North Hempstead Councilmember Lurvey. “Adding these EV charging stations to our parks is a natural fit and will hopefully encourage more people to make the switch knowing that expanded access is on the horizon. This is a model of sustainability and resiliency that we hope other towns on Long Island can follow too.“ “We are proud to once again partner with Senator Anna Kaplan on yet another initiative that will help our residents and visitors alike,” said North Hempstead Councilmember Zuckerman. “The “Power Up in a Park Initiative” will allow individuals to see the natural beauty of our parks while charging up their eco-friendly vehicle.” “Senator Kaplan has consistently passed legislation that helps address the threat of climate change,” said North Hempstead Councilmember Dalimonte. “It’s important that we ensure more access to charging stations as this hopefully will pave the way for more Long Islanders to take the leap in considering an electric vehicle as their next car.” — Submitted by the Office of State Senator Anna M. Kaplan

BOOK REVIEW

The Politics Of Intimidation

Review of: Antifascism: The Course Of A Crusade, by Paul Gottfried.

JOSEPH SCOTCHIE jscotchie@antonmediagroup.com

n the post-Christian West, democracy is the reigning religion. Can the triumph of fascism be the end result of democratic elections? For the Western left, the answer, according to Paul Gottfried, is a shocking ‘yes.” For decades, the triumph of liberalism has been Gottfried’s main theme. His books focus on the lack of opposition from the right: a conservatism that conserves nothing. Antifascism analyzes the journey of a single word, one strong enough to take down entire nations and with it, an entire civilization. Gottfried’s family were refugees from 1930s Germany and the author devotes much study to his ancestral land. By the 1950s, German guilt over World War II

had subsided. Konrad Adenauer had guided the nation to the front lines of the Cold War. That changed in the late 1960s. “The Sixty Eighters” were radicalized by the Vietnam War. The left deemed that American involvement in that war smacked of fascism. Hence, Germany’s support for American military action might resurrect the fascism of old. For America, rewriting history proved decisive. That meant one period, the Reconstruction Era of 1865-1877. Most Americans don’t care to read about the 12-year carnival in graft. For decades, the prime historian was W.A. Dunning, a liberal New Englander who took an even-handed approach: Both whites and blacks suffered terribly during that decade. The poverty extended into the 20th century. In Dunning’s day, reconciliation between the regions was in the national interest. That America has long ended. Gottfried singles out Eric Foner’s 1988 revisionist history, Reconstruction, as a turning point. Now only one race suffered. In fact, revisionism over

Locust Valley New York

Paul Gottfried Reconstruction had taken place since the 1960s. What to do? The Western left, having lost the working classes, now demonized such people as fascist and racist. On deck were re-education programs, jail

time for those who uttered hate speech, outlawing political parties and finally, replacing the working class with immigration from the Global South. It was time, in Berthold Brecht’s words, to elect a whole new people. The left now had its 21st century constituency: College-educated cosmopolitans combined with the immigrant vote. Conservatives were stuck with a working-class that they don’t care about. The smoke is clearing from the right populist reaction, one that hit stride in the 1990s and continues. Their platform boils down to an opposition to immigration and a definition of the family as solely a Mom, Pop, children arrangement. Gottfried asks us to slow down: These two items hardly constitute fascism in action. The populist right parties do not seek to nationalize industries, shut down the media, assassinate political opponents or invade neighboring countries. But if the media and academics say it is fascist, then the author’s defense faces tough sledding.

Gottfried’s books usually involve a thorough study of the intellectuals: If conservatives had taken an unyielding stand, they would have paid a price in their professional lives, but they may have provided a language for feckless conservative parties in both North America and Western Europe to use on the stump. This book contains a chapter on the political prospects of the populist right. The author is predictably gloomy. He acknowledges Donald Trump’s feisty appeal, namely the broadsides on the “fake news media.” However, the Republican Party, especially in the United States Senate, remains a George W. Bush party: Free trade, perpetual war, mass immigration. Attempts to build populist politics in the United States around human propositions or a cult of democracy…may be an exercise in futility…Beliefs that all people “are created equal” and that everyone should speak English may not be enough to sustain such a force. “The mystic chords of memory” to which Abraham Lincoln appealed as a source of American togetherness may be now as frayed as they were on the eve of the Civil War. Western Europe? Not much hope there, either. Gottfried acknowledges the progress made by right populists across the continent. A wave or a ripple? The author chooses the latter. The postwar

immigration has already occurred. Added onto that are immigrant fertility rates. The left will maintain a voting bloc to keep the populist right under wraps. That leaves us with Eastern Europe. Here is where Western civilization makes its last stand. Gottfried has maintained that the Iron Curtain served inadvertently as a “protective shield” during the Cold War. While Western Europe and North America indulged in various liberation movements, Eastern Europe was generally immune. The Cold War is long over. While the West stands for legalized abortion, same sex marriage, immigration and multiculturalism, Eastern Europe extends tax credits so that women can have more children. They also keep their borders closed. Is it enough? As with all of Gottfried’s books, Antifascism is learned, exhaustive in scholarship, provocative, and readable. It also provokes many questions. Are the conclusions too pessimistic? The rise of the populist right has been impressive. In 2002, the Sweden Democrats scored all of two percent. Twenty years later, they are up to 21 percent and part of a ruling coalition. In 2001, Jean Marie Pen totaled only 18 percent in France’s presidential runoff. In 2021, his daughter, Marine, upped that to 42 percent. Why do freedom-loving peoples, not to mention”straight-talking” politicians, allow themselves to be intimidated by the media? Most of the surrender nations are nominally Protestants. Did guilt prevail?

In his 2002 book, Multiculturalism And The Politics of Guilt, Gottfried gets to the heart of the matter. In the Protestant religion, acknowledgment of guilt represents the road to salvation. And so, the West apologizes for its imperialist past by surrendering its borders, while exalting non-Western cultures and trashing its past by tearing down monuments and statues. Finally, how can the nations of Eastern Europe withstand the onslaught from the West? Nations in Western Europe are more populous, wealthier, and more powerful within the European Union. They’ll keep the pressure on traditionalist-inclined Eastern Europe. This book is slightly dated. Gottfried concentrates on Mario Salvini, leader of The League political party in Italy. In that country, it was Giogini Meloni’s Brothers of Italy that surpassed The League to win the recently completed national elections. Will Meloni succeed? Will the Sweden Democrats make a difference? Right populist parties have had real results in such countries as Switzerland, Austria, Denmark and Norway. Numbers are of the essence. Meloni’s coalition, which included The League, scored 44 percent in a multi-party race. Compare that to Viktor Orban’s Fidesz party that swept the field in Hungary with 52 percent.

Bethpage native is serving in the U.S. Navy where naval aviators learn the skills they need to fly missions around the world. Ensign Daniel Midgette, a 2017 Bethpage High School graduate, joined the Navy one year ago. “I joined the Navy to help people around the world,” said Midgette. Skills and values learned in the Navy are similar to those found in Bethpage. “I learned the ability to excel in a lot of things from my hometown,” said Midgette. “This has helped me succeed both professionally and personally.” Midgette serves as a student pilot with Naval Air Station (NAS) Corpus Christi, TX. NAS Corpus Christi provides service and facilities support of Chief of Naval Air Training and Corpus Christi Army Depot. “I enjoy meeting new people while at this command,” Midgette said. “The camaraderie in the aviation community is like no other.” The air training program focuses on the increased complexity of today’s aircraft. After successfully completing the rigorous program, naval aviators earn their coveted “Wings of Gold.” After graduation, pilots continue their training to learn how to fly a specific aircraft, such as the Navy’s F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter attack jet, the F-35 Lightning strike fighter jet or the SH-60 Seahawk helicopter. These aircraft take off from and land on Navy aircraft carriers at sea. Navy aircraft carriers are designed for a 50-year service life. When the air wing is embarked, the ship carries more than 70 attack fighter jets, helicopters and other aircraft, all of which take off from and land aboard the carrier at sea. With more than 5,000 sailors serving aboard, the aircraft carrier is a self-contained mobile airport. Aircraft carriers are often the first response to a global crisis because of their ability to operate freely in international waters anywhere on the world’s oceans. Since U.S.S Langley’s commissioning 100 years ago, the nation’s aircraft carriers and embarked carrier air wings have projected power, sustained sea control, bolstered deterrence, provided humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and maintained enduring commitments worldwide. “The aircraft carrier is our U.S. Navy’s centerpiece, our flagship and a constant reminder to the rest of the world of our enduring maritime presence and influence,” said Rear Adm. James P. Downey, USN, program executive officer of aircraft carriers. “These ships touch every part of our Navy’s

mission to project power, ensure sea control, and deter our adversaries.” With more than 90 percent of all trade traveling by sea, and 95 percent of the world’s international phone and Internet traffic carried through fiber optic cables lying on the ocean floor, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity and security of the United States is directly linked to ready sailors and a strong Navy. “Maintaining the world’s best Navy is an investment in the security and prosperity of the United States, as well as the stability of our world,” said Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Mike Gilday. “The U.S. Navy— forward deployed and integrated with all elements of national power—deters conflict, strengthens our alliances and partnerships, and guarantees free and open access to the world’s oceans. As the United States responds to the security environment through integrated deterrence, our Navy must continue to deploy forward and campaign with a ready, capable, combat-credible fleet.” Serving in the Navy means Midgette is part of a team that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy. “The Navy can do things that other branches can not,” said Midgette. “The Navy has aircraft carriers and the ability to get closer to targets than any other branch.” Midgette has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service. “My biggest accomplishment is being commissioned as a naval officer,” said Midgette. “This was an example of my hard work ethic and dedication coming to fruition.” As Midgette and other sailors continue to perform missions, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy. “Serving means being a part of something bigger than myself,” Midgette added.

Long Island Rail Road Modernization Made Possible By Labor The coming months mark the start of a new chapter for the Long Island Rail Road, one made possible by the men and women of labor. Projects once dismissed as pipe dreams, like Third Track and Grand Central Madison, are now becoming reality thanks to our members’ tireless work. They showed up day after day through a deadly pandemic to deliver progress for their fellow Long Islanders, and now we all get to reap the benefits. The new 9.8-mile Third Track is fully operational between Floral Park and Hicksville. Every grade crossing along that stretch has either been eliminated or had its railroad bridge raised so riders will no longer be inconvenienced by delays due to over height trucks crashing into them. And without crossing gates that stop traffic multiple times each day, cars and trucks will no longer sit idling for extended periods of time, leading to cleaner air and quieter neighborhoods. These benefits, combined with the opening of Grand Central Madison later this year, will allow the LIRR to significantly increase service across all 11 branches —by 58 percent during the morning rush and by 62 percent in the evening peak. And reverse commuting is finally going to be a realistic

alternative, with peak service from Manhattan increasing by a whopping 65 percent. This is huge for Long Island businesses, who will now have access to a much larger labor pool. Meantime, commuters to East Midtown will be able to save up to 40 minutes a day on their trips by going straight to Grand Central, where they’ll find a beautiful new eight-track terminal—the first new rail facility of its size to be opened in the United States since the early 1950s. It’s a stunning space that proves the men and women of labor can deliver big things. Look at what we’ve already done in Penn Station. The first phase of the new LIRR concourse opened last month to rave reviews. It’s practically unrecognizable: the corridors

are now double the width, illuminated ceilings have been raised to 18-feet high, and there are now multiple high-res displays with track information and new wayfinding signs. And by early next year, the concourse will have added four brand new elevators that increase accessibility and a new ventilation system to bring in more fresh air. Next up is the rest of existing Penn. Governor Hochul has

unveiled plans for a complete renovation that transforms the dungeon we all know and tolerate to a spacious and lightfilled station that we can all be proud to use. Union workers will be there every step of the way, as we always have been, to keep Long Island and New York moving full speed ahead. Anthony Simon is the SMART Union General Chairman

Enhancing Emotional Intimacy People tend to equate intimacy with sex. While physical intimacy is an important part of relationships, emotional intimacy is different. Emotional intimacy involves feeling safe to share your innermost wants, thoughts, desires and fears with your partner. It both deepens the connection and enhances the relationship and without emotional intimacy, couples may drift apart over time. Below are some important steps to help you increase the emotional intimacy in your most treasured relationships.

A New Year—A New Mindset—A Fresh Look At Faith There are incidents in the Bible illustrating the power of mindset. In the Song of Songs, King Solomon describes the mindset of a virtuous woman: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the law of kindness is on her tongue.” The way we internalize our mindset may affect the actions we take and the expectations we set for ourselves. What’s holding us back, many times, is our own thinking. If you think you’ve reached your limits, then you have. If you think the problem is too big, then it is. If you think you’ll never meet the right person, you probably won’t. Change your mindset. Start believing in the good, living life with hope and expecting better results. Remember that the Almighty can do anything. He took David, a shepherd boy from a low-income family and turned him into a king. He gave Abraham and Sarah a baby when they were nearing 100 years of age. One’s mindset has the power to be an instrument of peace—or to cut like a knife. While leading the people toward the promised

RABBI MOSHE WEISBLUM land of Israel in his final days, Moses eloquently delivers one of the most stirring orations in the Torah, encouraging the people and guiding them towards the future. As a child, Moses developed a speech impediment. To spare him embarrassment, his brother, Aaron, delivered many of Moses’s discourses. But, for his farewell address, Moses spoke directly to the people. His words to the Israelites were fierce and poetic, to better ensure that they will remember their covenant with their Creator. As Moses

speaks, we retrace the steps of his personal life journey and witness his spiritual growth. Moses shows us that even the very end of life is not too late to improve ourselves and call on others to change. From his early years as a stuttering toddler, to the moral tests of his youth in Pharaoh’s palace, to his trials as leader of a wandering people, to his ultimate, inspiring address to the nation at the threshold of the Holy Land, Moses demonstrates that a human being can overcome obstacles, and master fears. How is this accomplished? As Moses himself stresses in his final speech, one can exhibit patience, conquer hardships and achieve self-mastery simply by connecting to the Creator. What we say and how we say

it matters. A new mindset — the right choice of words and inflection — inspires and unites others. But proper mindset can also be achieved without words. We can communicate non-verbally, using our hands, eyes, body language and tone of voice. In today’s technological age, we communicate instantaneously through social media, e-mail, and our cell phones. We are never out of reach or out of touch. All of us have gone through disappointments and suffered setbacks that have caused us to lower our expectations and water down our dreams. We’ve let what hasn’t worked out for us serve as an excuse to settle for where we are. Instead of allowing our troubles to stymie us, we must trust that the challenges

our Creator places before us are only temporary, and that they are ultimately for our own good. After all, our Creator wants what’s best for us. We know that, as long as we are receptive to it, “The Almighty will open the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that [we] cannot contain.” Do you truly believe that will be the case, or is your thinking limiting your life? Don’t go into this new year with low expectations. Have a bigger vision. Get your hopes up! When undesirable thoughts intrude, “It’s too late. It’s been too long. It’s never going to happen. It’s just going to be an average year, with nothing good in store,”— change your mindset. Tell yourself, “This is going to be a blessed year, a bountiful year, a favor-filled year. Something good is going to happen to me and I can’t wait to experience it.” Like the ancient Israelites, believe that the fetters that have held you back have now been broken. Meet life with great anticipation because you’re about to go into your Promised Land. Amen.

How To Honor A Veteran

eterans Day, Nov. 11, is a day set aside to remember and recognize veterans who have served or who are currently serving to protect our freedoms. American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) units will be hosting special events in their communities nationwide to honor veterans. In addition to attending these events, there are simple things people can do to make a big difference in a veteran’s life on this special day.

Seek out Veterans Day events Attend a ceremony, parade or other special event in your community.

Offer help

Do you have a relative, friend, or neighbor who’s a veteran? Offer to help with household chores or yardwork.

Thank a vet

Thank veterans for their service. Write a thank-you card to show your gratitude. Both are small gestures that can make a huge impact.

Ask about their service

Ask a veteran about their time in the military. Be sure to be an engaged listener.

Volunteer to serve

Volunteer with an American Legion Auxiliary unit in your community. Reach out to the local American Legion post home for ALA unit info, or visit www. ALAforVeterans.org for more information.

Donate

Donate to a cause that helps veterans. Every dollar helps. Even a small donation is money well spent to support our nation’s heroes. Consider donating to the American Legion Auxiliary Foundation to support veterans, military, and their families for generations to come. Veterans Day originated in 1919 as Armistice Day to mark the one-year anniversary of the end of World War I. The date of Nov. 11 is significant because fighting between the Allied nations and Germany ceased on the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month in 1918. In 1954, U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower changed the name to Veterans Day. Not to be confused with Memorial Day, Veterans Day pays tribute to all veterans— those who have served and are currently serving, along with those who have passed.

Obesity Contributes To New Diabetes Cases

educing the prevalence of obesity may prevent up to half of new Type 2 diabetes cases in the United States, according to new research published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access journal of the American Heart Association. Obesity is a major contributor to diabetes, and the new study suggests more tailored efforts are needed to reduce the incidence of obesity-related diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, affecting more than 31 million Americans, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The risk factors for Type 2 diabetes include being overweight or having obesity; being over the age of 45; having an immediate family member diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes; being physically active less than three times per week; or a history of gestational diabetes (diabetes during pregnancy). Type 2 diabetes is more common among people who are Black, Hispanic or Latino, American Indian, Alaska Native, Pacific Islander or Asian American. The number of deaths due to Type 2 diabetes in people younger than 65 is increasing along with serious complications of the condition, including amputations and hospitalizations. In addition, Type 2 diabetes impacts heart disease and stroke risk: adults with Type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to have a heart attack or stroke than people without diabetes. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented or

delayed with healthy lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, eating healthy food and being physically active. According to the National Diabetes Prevention Program, behavior changes have been shown to help people with prediabetes lose five to seven percent of their body weight and reduce their risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 58 percent (71 percent for people older than age 60). Researchers examined the prevalence and excess risk of Type 2 diabetes associated with obesity. “Our study highlights the meaningful impact that reducing obesity could have on Type 2 diabetes prevention in the United States. Decreasing obesity needs to be a priority. Public health efforts that support healthy lifestyles, such as increasing access to nutritious foods, promoting physical activity and developing community programs to prevent obesity, could substantially reduce new cases of Type 2 diabetes,” said the study’s first author Natalie A. Cameron,

M.D., a resident physician of internal medicine at the McGaw Medical Center of Northwestern University in Chicago. Researchers used information from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) and four pooled cycles (20012016) of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). MESA is an ongoing, longitudinal study of 45 to 84-year-olds who did not have cardiovascular disease upon recruitment. MESA data included in this study was collected during five visits from 2000 Obesity is a major to 2017 at six contributor to centers across diabetes. the U.S. NHANES is a cross-sectional study of the American population that takes place every other year using patient questionnaires and examination data. “Our study confirms there is a higher prevalence of obesity among non-Hispanic Black adults and Mexican-American adults compared to non-Hispanic White adults. We suspect these differences may point to important social determinants of health that

contribute to new cases of Type 2 diabetes in addition to obesity,” said Cameron. For this analysis, authors limited data to participants ages 45 to 79 years old. They included only those who were non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black or Mexican American and who did not have either Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes at the beginning of the study. Researchers calculated both the prevalence of obesity and the excess risk of Type 2 diabetes associated with obesity. “Additionally, the obesity epidemic has collided with the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sadiya S. Khan, M.D., M.Sc., the study’s senior author and an assistant professor of medicine and preventive medicine at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine. “The greater severity of COVID-19 infection in individuals with obesity is concerning because of the growing burden of adverse health consequences they could experience in the coming years; therefore, further efforts are needed to help more adults adopt healthier lifestyles and hopefully reduce the prevalence of obesity.” This analysis included only middle-aged to older adults without cardiovascular disease who were non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic Black or Mexican-American, so results may not be generalizable to the entire U.S. population. Future research is required to assess the burden of obesity on new cases of Type 2 diabetes in other age groups and racial and ethnic groups. —American Heart Association

Pregnancy And Your Liver

iver test abnormalities are not uncommon in pregnancy and even minor test elevations should be addressed. Liver test abnormalities during pregnancy can create significant anxiety in both the pregnant woman and the expectant father. This anxiety is made worse by the simple fact that liver disease in pregnancy is poorly understood by many medical practitioners. The good news is that most liver test abnormalities seen in pregnancy resolve on their own with no effect on either the mother or newborn child/children. Many times, the cause is unknown and tends to not recur with subsequent pregnancies. Despite this reassuring fact, a physician must evaluate liver test abnormalities found during pregnancy as significant liver disease can occur during this period. The most common cause of abnormal liver tests in pregnancy are not specific for pregnancy and are mostly due to viral infections or medication use. There are, however, several important conditions specific for pregnancy that need to be

called hyperemesis gravidarum. Abnormalities in liver tests are common in this condition. The development of hyperemesis gravidarum is associated with the first pregnancy, young age, smoking and obesity. The cause is unknown. If severe and the mother has difficulty maintaining their weight while pregnant, the fetus is at increased risk of intrauterine growth retardation. This condition, however, is not associated with any long-term liver disease. Intrahepatic cholestasis of David Bernstein, MD pregnancy is another condition unique to both pregnancy and tends to occur in otherwise addressed. Nausea and vomiting are quite healthy women.

THE SPECIALIST

treatable with bile-acid resin binders such as cholestyramine. Ursodeoxycholic acid and phenobarbitol have been successfully used to treat itching. The only definitive therapy, however, is delivery. With delivery, itching usually resolves within days and liver test abnormalities usually normalize within several weeks. This is a benign but frequently recurrent condition for the mother. Patients who develop this need to be followed in the future for the development of primary biliary cholangitis or PBC. This condition, however, is not benign for the fetus, as it is associated with an increased rate of fetal distress, premature births and stillbirths. Two other conditions that are unique to pregnancy are worthy of mention. The HEELP syndrome (hemolytic anemia, elevated liver enzymes and low platelets) and acute fatty of liver of pregnancy are conditions which occur in the third trimester. The causes of these disorders are also unknown but a growing body of research suggests that acute fatty liver of pregnancy may be an inherited

disorder. People with these conditions usually complain of fatigue, abdominal pain, headache, nausea or vomiting. Once diagnosed, these conditions need to be treated immediately with delivery as both conditions can rapidly progress to coma and maternal death. Rarely, patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy may require a liver transplantation. Within two weeks of delivery, symptoms generally resolve as the event is self-limited. If delivery goes well, there are no long-term sequelae associated with either condition. Both conditions, however, are associated with an increased risk of maternal death, fetal intrauterine growth retardation and fetal death. The important take home point is that all liver test abnormalities during pregnancy must be evaluated by a doctor. While there is no need to panic when these abnormalities are discovered, it is prudent that the pregnant mother seek appropriate medical care. —David Bernstein, MD, MACG, FAASLD, AGAF, FACP

National Family Caregivers Month Caregiving in BIPOC communities

amily caregivers exist across all demographics—people providing care to their loved ones come from every age, gender, socioeconomic status, and race/ ethnicity. However, not all identities are represented among caregivers at rates proportional to the general population and they don’t all share the same experiences. For a long time, caregiving research and media portrayals centered around White caregivers—mostly White, middle-aged, middle-class women. Currently, nearly 40 percent of caregivers identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC). Within each BIPOC racial/ethnic group, the rates of caregiving are higher than in White demographics. While BIPOC caregivers tend to receive more support from family and friends than White caregivers do, they face a lot of challenges that White caregivers don’t experience. On average, BIPOC caregivers have lower socioeconomic status. Studies have found that Black and Hispanic caregivers often feel ignored in medical settings and left out of crucial care discussions by staff. Asian-American caregivers don’t utilize professional

support services as often as others, likely because of limited culturally relevant services. While most caregivers feel as though caregiving is the “right” thing to do, BIPOC individuals often see it as an expected part of life that each generation participates in at some point. For many, there’s no decision to be made about whether to be a caregiver—it is just a role they assume without much conscious thought. In some cultures, the role of caregiving is based on gender and birth order. While White individuals tend to take on the caregiving role due to feelings of personal responsibility, caregiving is a cultural expectation in many BIPOC communities and families.

Race Breakdown

Among caregivers in the United States, the race breakdown is as follows: 62% identify as White 17% identify as Hispanic (nonWhite, non-Black) 13% identify as Black 6% identify as Asian-American Within each of these demographics, the prevalence of caregiving varies: Hispanic: 21% Black: 20.3% Asian-American: 19.7% White: 16.9%

Caregiver Age

On average, BIPOC caregivers are younger than White

caregivers. The average age of caregivers by racial/ethnic group are: White: 53.5 years old Asian-American: 46.6 years old Black: 44.2 years old Hispanic: 42.7 years old Sixty-two percent of White caregivers are over the age of 50, while it’s more common for BIPOC to be caregivers in early adulthood. The largest age demographic among each racial/ ethnic group are: Hispanic: 18-34 (38% of Hispanic caregivers fall in that age range) Black: 50+ (38%) Asian-American: 50+ (44%) White: 50+ (62%) In both the 18-34 and 35-49 age brackets, there is a higher percentage of Hispanic, Black, and Asian-American caregivers (individually) than White caregivers.

Time Spent Caregiving

Hispanic and White caregivers spend the most time providing care: Hispanic: 80 hours per month White: 50 hours per month

Black: 45 hours per month Asian-American: 45 hours per month

Employment

Across ethnicities, approximately 4 in 10 caregivers are unemployed: Hispanic: 43% unemployed White: 40% unemployed Black: 40% unemployed Asian-American: 35% unemployed Caregiving can disrupt an individual’s employment, and many caregivers across ethnicities have needed to adjust their workload or schedule to accommodate their other duties. In some cases, this leads to retiring early or quitting: Black: 19% retire early/quit White: 15% retire early/quit Hispanic: 13% retire early/quit Asian-American: 6% retire early/ quit Many employed caregivers have told their supervisor about their caregiving role, but a number of people across ethnicities have not told anyone at work:

Financial Impact

While far greater percentages of caregivers in all groups describe their financial well-being as good or excellent versus poor, the self-described financial well-being of caregivers varies substantially among racial/ethnic groups: Asian-American: 61% excellent/good, 15% poor White: 59% excellent/good, 14% poor Hispanic: 46% excellent/good, 17% poor Black: 41% excellent/good, 19% poor While most caregivers across all ethnicities report that their financial situation did not change upon becoming a caregiver, around 1 in 5 say it worsened. Of those who reported a worsening financial situation, the racial/ethnic breakdown is: Asian-American: 22% White: 19% Black: 19% Hispanic: 16%

General Health

People caring for a close relative are at a greater risk of declining health as a result of caregiving than those caring for distant relatives

or unrelated individuals. Among racial/ethnic groups, White and Asian-American caregivers are more likely to say caregiving has negatively impacted their health: White: 26% Asian-American: 24% Hispanic: 15% Black: 14%

Mental Health Impact

The emotional burden of caregiving is significant across racial/ethnic groups, though White and Hispanic caregivers report higher rates of distress: White: 56% report feelings of isolation or loneliness; 32% report feelings of anxiety Hispanic: 52% report feelings of isolation or loneliness; 34% report feelings of anxiety Black: 43% report feelings of isolation or loneliness; 23% report feelings of anxiety Asian-American: not reported Many people find caregiving to be rewarding, but it isn’t without challenges.

s winter heating season approaches, PSEG Long Island recognizes that many households are facing challenging times and wants to remind its customers that programs exist to help people struggling with utility bills. There are also many ways they can lower their bills by using energy wisely. The costs associated with purchasing fuel for electric power supply are directly passed through to the customers. A hedging program is in place to reduce the volatility of power supply costs for customers. Hedging provides price stability in case of unforeseen commodity market and weather events that drive up prices. The most effective thing customers can to do lower their bills is to use electricity more efficiently. Here are some helpful tips: • Replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs • Use a programmable thermostat to automatically manage your home’s heating and cooling needs. ENERGY STAR estimates that properly used programmable thermostats can save the average American household about $180 a year. In addition, PSEG offers rebates on smart thermostats. • Lower your thermostat by just one degree to potentially reduce your heating bill.

Lower your thermostat. • Install timers and motion detectors to automatically manage indoor and outdoor lighting and help ensure lights are not on when they’re not needed. • Setting a ceiling fan to rotate clockwise on low pulls cool air toward the ceiling, pushing warm air down into a room. • Seal windows and doorframes with weather stripping or caulk, and remove or cover window air conditioners to help to prevent drafts that waste energy and money. • Reduce “phantom power” by using energy efficient power strips or unplugging electronic devices when they’re not in use. • Install a high efficiency air source heat pump to lower energy usage, save money and provide greater comfort in cold and hot months.

So it should come as no surprise that she’s just released her second holiday album, The Merriest, the holiday follow-up to 2005’s The Season and the latest project since 2021’s pandemic-influenced Come What May. “I have seriously wanted to make a second Christmas album since the first one came out,” she said with a laugh. “Part of the reason behind that is artists like me, who sing the Great American Songbook or deal with traditional pop, jazz, cabaret and all of these genres that I’m involved with, tend to make multiple holiday albums.” Recorded during a quick three-and-ahalf stint back in August, Monheit emerged with a nine-song set that includes such Christmas classics as “Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!,” “Winter Wonderland” and not surprisingly, “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Add in a number of gems from The Season that include Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas,” the Irving Berlin medley “I Love the Winter Weather/I’ve Got to Keep My Love to Keep Me Warm” and Johnny Marks’ “I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day” and you have a good idea of the process the Long Island native went through that reflect the Oakdale native’s wide-ranging tastes. “A lot of [figuring these choices out] was really figuring out what Christmas songs I haven’t recorded yet, so there was a lot of that, because I’ve done Christmas projects

with other people as well,” Monheit explained. “I did repeat a few songs I’ve recorded before, but that’s because I wanted to do them differently or I had an idea for a different arrangement. Bernadette Peters (Photo by Nonobadkitty/ CC BY 2.0)

Jane Monheit (Photo by Matthew Holler)

I picked a lot of my favorites and I think that’s important. There has to be a good reason behind it—you’ve got to be telling the truth.” Now that COVID-19 restrictions have eased, Monheit is eager to play live performances, although her drummer/accompanist husband Montalbano, Jr. will be staying home in Los Angles with their son, a newly minted high school freshman. And while she’ll be coming to the East Coast at some point, the 44-year-old vocalist admits she doesn’t play Long Island nearly enough. Ella Fitzgerald She did not rule out (Photo by Ben van a future date not too Meerendonk/AHF/CC far from her Oakdale BYCC homestead, where her family still lives. “You know, I don’t get to do that too often because I’m always playing clubs the city,” she said. “I only play on Long Island rarely. I would be thrilled to come home.” And while Cooder’s 1980 outing Borderline was Bonnie Raitt a childhood favorite (Photo by C. Elliot) (“That’s my record man. What a great album”), Monheit was eager to share a triumvirate of vocalists she’s loved over the years. Visit www.janemonheitonline.com for more information about Jane Monheit.

Ella Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 to June 15, 1996)

“[Ella] had insane musicianship. But was even more special about Ella was the warmth and joy with which she sang and the way she treated people. Ella was known for her kindness and incredibly loving heart and that inspires me as a human being. It’s more than just her singing for me. It’s Ella’s whole self and presence in the world.”

Bernadette Peters (February 28, 1948 to present)

“Talk about lyrical interpretation. That’s where I learned a lot about how to sing in a way that was honest and soul-bearing. You listen to Bernadette Peters sing any song and your heart is bleeding on the floor. She was a huge influence on me in that regard. I also love her vibrato, technique and everything about the way she sings. I’ve been obsessed since I was very small.”

Bonnie Raitt

(November 8, 1949 to present)

“Bonnie Raitt comes more out of my love for bluegrass, Americana and all that kind of music I was raised on by my dad. She is the great natural—nothing that ever comes out of her mouth sounds anything but incredibly sincere. And just the natural beauty of her instrument is absolutely insane. She never sounds like she’s trying either. She never sounds like she had a voice lesson in her life. She just sounds like what she’s doing is just a completely natural gift from the universe and that’s kind of amazing to me.”

Whether you feel bigger, smaller, funnier, duller or sharper, it’s what you’re making of their response, not a reflection of who you actually are. Even so, these feelings matter and will sway your decisions. Make efforts to be near those you feel good around. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Destiny takes no pleasure in tripping us up, though her path is rich with rocky paths. Treacherous stretches are opportunities to be a little more careful or skillful. Stay upright and keep moving forward. The secret to success in both these aims is sturdy shoes and steady company.

Wouldn’t it be nice

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though there are many welcoming souls around you, you may still feel like an outsider at times this week. One reason is that there’s so much on your mind that you don’t quite know how to share. Once you sort it through and accept all the different parts of you, it will be much easier to connect with others.

Solution: 15 Letters

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s fantastic to be able to control where you go and love it when you get there. But when you have to be somewhere you don’t prefer, that’s when it gets interesting. This week brings a chance to become clever, solve problems and develop coping mechanisms. You’ll meet good people in unexpected places.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll serve the ones you love, and your love is part of what makes you a servant. When you adore a person or believe in an institution, a position of helping is a great joy. Be sure to let others take care of you, too. And if there is a relationship imbalance, it can be righted this week before it becomes a problem. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People go to great lengths to avoid feeling afraid. You can save yourself the trouble by opting to be brave. Working through uncomfortable emotions is a skill that opens your horizons. There’s so much more for you to experience when you’re not running from the possibility of an unpleasant emotion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll act out of a desire to benefit others, and your eyes will be opened to the opportunities in the situation. You will witness tenderness and give it. Your heart will soften, not just for your main people but for the whole world. You’ll be generous with attention, forgiveness and affection. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just because there are obvious issues on this path doesn’t mean you’re on the wrong one. Every road has features and obstacles, and the problems are a normal part of every life. You’ll get the ones that make you better, and you never have to worry about making any more than would naturally occur. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may seek advice knowing full well that each opinion is but one way of looking at things -- each fact, each rule a mere drop in an ocean of information. In the end, you’ll be enriched by what others have to say, but you’ll follow your gut instinct, which is as good an indication of what to do as any could be. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are people who would love to be by your side, cheering you on, though it does take work and time to find them. In the meantime, self-encouragement is a worthy skill to develop. Confidence is a habit, and you welcome the chance to practice positive self-talk and cultivate your strong, can-do attitude.

THIS WEEK’S BIRTHDAYS

You have that “wow” factor, and people will want to know what’s going on in your life and business. Because of this, there will be decisions to make about who needs to know what and how to present things to create a desired effect for those you entertain and care for. You’ll be very good at organizing, and the way you order your world will bring ease. You’ll explore different ways to move through exercise, dance or competitive sports. This releases stress and releases your mighty powers of attraction. COPYRIGHT 2022 CREATORS.COM

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You can accomplish much on your own, though sometimes it’s better to be part of a team. You’ll have choices in this regard. Directing a group can include a lot of extra work you don’t need to deal with when you’re working solo. Seize the opportunity to experiment with different styles to find your success zone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do you really want something or do you just think you want it? Maybe it’s too early to tell. Either way, a bit of acting will be involved in this acquisition. You won’t know what you can pull off until you try. One theme that runs throughout the week: What you pretend for an extended period of time will become real.

The old family homestead East dealer. East-West vulnerable. NORTH ♠62 ♥K J 9 7 3 ♦KJ5 ♣8 6 3 WEST EAST ♠A4 ♠— ♥ 10 8 6 4 2 ♥A Q 5 ♦Q863 ♦ 10 9 ♣J 4 ♣A K Q 10 9 7 5 2 SOUTH ♠ K Q J 10 9 8 7 5 3 ♥— ♦A742 ♣— The bidding: East South West North 5♣ 5♠ Pass Pass 6♣ Pass Pass Dble Opening lead — ace of diamonds. Post-mortems often prove very illuminating, since they permit an analysis of every avenue of play with all four hands in view. Consider this deal played in a national championship. East opened five clubs, vulnerable, and carried on to six after South bid five spades. North doubled, and East finished down one after South led the ace and another diamond. South was unhappy with the outcome, contending he could have made a slam in spades — worth 980 points — against any defense.

After a club lead, he would have ruffed, played a diamond to the jack, continued with the K-A of diamonds and ruffed a diamond in dummy to produce his 12th trick. His only loser would have been a trump. West challenged this statement, claiming he could stop the slam by leading the ace and another trump. But South stuck to his guns, insisting he would have made the slam even with a trump lead and offered to back his opinion by betting the traditional old family homestead. Further analysis led to the conclusion that South was right. Declarer wins the second trump lead with dummy’s six and returns the king of hearts, forcing East to cover with the ace. South ruffs, leads a diamond to the jack and returns the jack of hearts. When East covers with the queen, South ruffs and then cashes all his remaining trumps, reducing his own hand to the A-7-4 of diamonds. On the last trump, West must choose a discard from the Q-8-6 of diamonds and ten of hearts in front of dummy’s K-5 of diamonds and 9-7 of hearts. West can’t discard successfully, and declarer makes the slam. All of which explains why South is still living happily on his old family homestead.

Students Honored For Fighting Hunger And Climate Change A Commendation Ceremony to honor the efforts of 38 middle and high school students was held on October 15, 2022 at the Helen Keller National Center in Sands Point, NY. The students were enrolled in the Summer Program to Fight Hunger and Climate Change. In its third year of operation, the Summer Program is made possible by partnership between ReWild Long Island and Plant A Row for the Hungry, Port Washington. Working through the summer, youth volunteers and interns learned to grow food regeneratively, to plant native perennials, eradicate invasives, compost, and recycle. Vegetables, herbs and flowers harvested were donated to the food pantry at Our Lady of Fatima in Manorhaven, NY, assisted by Bayles Garden Center. Youth education and engagement are made possible through the time and expertise of many local organizations including the Cow Neck Peninsula Historic Society, PWGreen, North Shore Audubon Society, Science Museum of Long Island, Transition Town Port Washington and The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Shelter Rock. Students work sites included gardens and preserves across Port Washington, Manhasset and Manorhaven, such as the ReWild Garden at Dodge, the Adult Activity Center, the Sand-Willet House, Guggenheim Preserve, Science Museum of Long Island, Sands Point Preserve, United Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, and the Helen Keller National Center.

The students were also commended by representatives of local organizations who had provided mentorship and training to students. Commending the students, Raju Rajan, President of ReWild Long Island, said, “The passion and dedication of our summer students inspires all of us to action on Food Security, Climate Resilience and Biodiversity Protection. The students have made a huge impact on our local environment, and in turn, their lives will be shaped for the better through their work this summer.” Local teens who were honored include Alex Lu,Georgia Sacha, Jonas Kim, Olivia Wen and Claire LaBenne. —Submitted by ReWild Long Island

Business District Sewer Coming Into Focus FRANK RIZZO frizzo@antonmediagroup.com

ig numbers were bandied about. Complicated legal maneuverings were contemplated. A disruptive infrastructure project was envisioned. All this as recently as the spring of 2022. And then, almost miraculously, the scale changed and the ends were to be achieved with much less means. The long wished Plandome Road sewer project will become a reality in the next several years, according to stakeholders interviewed by the Manhasset Press. And it will be constructed by a much less complicated pathway than was originally thought. But first, a little history. The Manhasset area, like much of the north shore, depends on septic/cesspool systems to deal with waste water. As early as its 1989 Master Plan, the Town of North Hempstead concluded that the lack of sewers on Plandome Road—the hamlet’s main commercial district—constrained its economic potential. In addition, a 1999 study by the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee on improving the bay’s water quality recommended sewering “to achieve nitrogen reductions consistent with the recommendations of the Long Island Sound Study.” Momentum has been building in recent years. A “Manhasset Sewer Feasibility Study” by the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District (GNWPCD) was published in January 2020 and put out a figure of $16.8 million to build out the sewer system in what it called its primary area (the business district) with a figure of nearly $24 million for the secondary (Bayview residential) area. The district has a water treatment facility on East Shore Road in Great Neck, on the western shore of Manhasset Bay. According to the sewer feasibility study, the Plandome Road district would extend from Northern Boulevard to Webster Avenue, and include businesses on the side streets. The sewer project was championed by the Manhasset Chamber of Commerce and the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations, led by their point man, Robbie Donno. The chamber collected more than 1,800 signatures in favor of sewering and facilitated meetings involving the district and town and other elected officials, looking for ways to move the project forward and secure financing. One complicating factor that was removed this past year was the idea that the GNWPCD needed to “annex” what its study defined

as its primary area for taxing purposes. This generated conflict between the district and town attorneys. A big step forward came in the spring, when, in the final negotiations for the 2023 state budget, Assemblywoman Gina L. Sillitti (D-Port Washington) and Senator Anna M. Kaplan (D-North Hills) announced that they had secured a $5 million grant for the GNWPCD in the state Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) capital projects budget. It will be used to install a sewer line on Plandome Road.

The Super Speaks

GNWPCD Superintendent Chris Murphy, in an interview with the Manhasset Press, was asked for a estimate of when the project would start. “We are currently engaging the engineers to provide a proposal for design,” he replied. “Along with this activity, we are actively working with the NYSDEC to submit and secure all grant paperwork and authorizations to proceed. Although a lot can change, at this moment, I would guess the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024.” “Would you need any permits from the Town of North Hempstead to do the work?” He replied, “All we would need is a simple road opening permit. Nothing more.” Murphy said that the district has a sewer line on northern Boulevard serving the

Manhasset businesses on that main shopping route. The district will place a small (4-inch) pipe along its intended primary area on Plandome Road and he estimated that about 3,000 linear feet of pipe will be laid down and connect to the Northern Boulevard line. The waste will then flow to an existing pump station that will move it to the treatment facility. Unlike in a taxing district, businesses on Plandome Road can choose whether or not to connect to the sewer line. They will be charged a usage fee and will have to pay for the cost of hooking up and installing what Murphy called a grinder pump. These pumps are part of what experts call a low pressure system that is more effective than a gravity system for most areas. They chop up the waste and move it to the main line. “Each one of those pumps has the ability to pump the building’s sewer almost a mile. Because it’s a low pressure sewer system, we’re going to be looking to install the majority of this through what’s called directional drilling,” Murphy explained. “We’re not going to open up a trench down the length of Plandome Road and lay a pipe in the ground. With horizontal drilling we only have to open up holes maybe every four or 500 feet, so it’s a lot less intrusive as far as traffic and pedestrians and also businesses.” Gravity sewerss, he said, need to be dug much deeper in order to follow the gradient

of the land. With the shallower low pressure systems, customers won’t have to dig deep to connect to the sewer line, reducing costs and complications. The sewer installation on Plandome is a line in the district’s 2022 budget, Murphy added. District leaders are in discussion with the DEC and will work through what he called the New York State Grant Gateway to manage the project. “Manhasset stakeholders who are pushing the primary and secondary projects were worried because they got word that Great Neck wants to increase its sewerage and they believe that your plant will reach its capacity and they might be left out in the future. Can you respond?” Murphy was asked. “Currently, our facilities are designed to treat 5.3 million gallons a day and we’re typically treating on average 2.6, 2.7 millions of gallons per day,” he replied. “We have quite a bit of capacity for the foreseeable future. So there’s nothing in sight that I have any concerns over that would get us to the point that we would need to look to expand .” Murphy said the district is currently doing a study on sewering Great Neck Estates. The feasibility study for Manhasset estimates that the Plandome Road business district will generate 55,000 gallons of waste water per day.

Sewer Advantage Per the feasibility study, “The benefits of sewering are well known and can be grouped into environmental, economic and social categories. First and foremost for this proposed sewering project is the environmental benefits. The degradation of the Long Island Sound and local embayments from excess nutrients and coliforms has been well documented.” The study continues, “Economic benefit of sewers would be seen by the ability of local wet businesses (wet uses indicate those with higher water usage and

therefore higher wastewater generation such as medical offices, restaurants, salons and laundry operations) to increase, reducing costs of hauling away septic waste and improving local conditions (surcharging manholes and odors) around the businesses.” In addition, “Sewers will allow for restaurants to expand seating and new restaurants to locate in the area. Sewers would attract higher wastewater generators such as medical offices, salons, and laundry operations. The Town of North

Hempstead would realize additional tax revenue that will offset cost of providing services to its residents and businesses. This will also eliminate the use of septic systems in businesses rear yards and alley ways thus increasing space for parking.” The study concludes that “economic stability and future growth are constrained by a lack of wastewater treatment capacity. It is critically important to the future economic stability of the local businesses to ensure that adequate sewer capacity is available.”

Coast Restabilization Tech In Port Coastal Technologies Corp installs new cliff erosion system at The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy

oastal Technologies Corp, a local family company, has collaborated with The Sands Point Preserve Conservancy (SPPC) to demonstrate its new cliff stabilization and revitalization technology. Manhasset father-son duo started Coastal Technologies Corp about a year ago with a mission to help erosion challenges facing coastal communities and habitats. After George Thatos graduated from Tulane University, where he studied Environmental Studies and Sciences, he and his father, Nicholas Thatos, began brainstorming ideas and putting them in motion. “We have a lifelong family commitment to environmental causes,” said Nicholas Thatos, CEO and Co-Founder of Coastal Technologies Corp. “Even as children, we were volunteering for environmental restoration projects, which made George interested in the environment.” Coastal Technologies Corp has created innovative products to combat coastal erosion and add coastal resilience. The Cliff Stabilization System products include devices that naturally build dunes and products that prevent beaches from being washed away in hurricanes and noreasters. According to a press release from Coastal Technologies Corp, the devices used on the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy bluffs were “secured to the bluff face in a morning’s work, forming a lattice of cubbies, which are hydro seeded or planted with plugs. These plants, now held securely against the eroding cliff face, send their root systems into the sandy sediment, binding and firmly holding it in place, preventing further erosion. This method harnesses the natural power plants have evolved to shape their own environments.” The company has consulted with botanists to organize an assortment of plants that stabilize the cliffs and provide essential habitats for the species in the area. Some plants used are listed below: • American Beach Grass–Ammophilia Breviligulata: evolved specifically to colonize sandy, loose habitats by sending thin, long root systems into the sand to bind it in place. American beach grass is the primary vegetation creating dunes along the entire Atlantic coast. • Beach Plum–Prunus Maritima: Provides abundant pollen and fruit for bees, butterflies and many native species. • Northern Bayberry–Morella Pensylvanica: Provides berries throughout the year and is especially attractive to migratory birds, which land and feed as they pass overhead. • Beach Rose–Rosa Rugosa: Especially valuable to pollinators. Beach Rose is employed all along the Atlantic coast for erosion control and habitat creation.

According to Coastal Technologies Corp’s press release, Nicholas Thatos said, “Traditional methods of blocking waves to control coastal erosion and habitat simply do not work. Developing economically and environmentally responsible systems for these critical issues is vital.” A few months ago, Coastal Technologies Corp approached SPPC with the idea of working together at the preserve to help the bluffs on the property. As a local family, the Thatos’ would spend time at the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, where George Thatos would play among the bluffs. “Our family has long enjoyed what Sands Point Preserve offers, and we can’t think of a better place to unveil this technology and

because there are ideal times of the year to do the planting and then times that are really bad,” said Bosgang. “So we were able to just make it in at the end of this good season.” The plantings occurred just before Long Island got hit with the remnants of Hurricane Ian. Three days of rain followed and put the technology and plants to the test. “Those rains were intermittent, but they were still very hard at times,” said Nicholas Thatos. “These roots had no chance to stabilize because we just planted them, so the question was would the product hold the plants to the cliff?” Some test plants planted outside of the devices were washed away in the rains, leaving only the plants situated inside the tech. “We knew three days after we had planted them that the device was working. All the plugs and plantings are still against the bluff face,” said Nicholas Thatos. “By planting these anchors there first, we are giving the plants the chance to attach. Any cliff face Plantings installed along the bluff at that has vegetation on it is significantly more the preserve. (Photos provided by Coastal Technologies Corp) stable than any cliff face that doesn’t.” “There’s a big problem here on long island, all through the Northeast, in California and launch our mission to save coastal communities and shorelines wherever needed,” said all around the world,” said Nicholas Thatos. “It’s just getting worse and worse because Nicholas Thatos. climate change is making greater storms “The whole idea of cliff stabilization definitely affects the preserve because we have a which are cutting these coastal bluffs and coastline right on the Long Island sound, and cliffs.

$1 Million Public Safety Initiative For Police Departments North Shore Nassau County Police Departments receive funding for new license plate reading devices

JULIE PRISCO

jprisco@antonmediagroup.com

n late October, Senator Anna Kaplan launched a $1,050,000 Public Safety Initiative to provide grants to Nassau County Police Departments on the North Shore. Improving public safety and preventing crime is a priority of local officials and police departments to keep residents safe. With a recent increase in auto thefts in North Shore communities, the grants given to the police departments will fund the purchase of license plate readers to help combat crime and solve cases. Bigger police departments in Nassau County have been able to invest in license plate readers. The expensive technology has been difficult to obtain for many local police departments on the North Shore. The goal of Senator Kaplan’s Public Safety Initiative is to help the smaller departments on the North Shore get license plate readers to increase the safety of communities by preventing and solving crimes. A press release from the office of Senator Kaplan provided a list of the seven local police departments receiving the grants. • Kensington • Kings Point • Lake Success • Great Neck Estates • Port Washington • Sands Point • Old Westbury The devices are high-tech computer-controlled camera systems that can be mounted on patrol vehicles or fixed locations such as busy street corners. According to a press release from the office of Senator Kaplan, the devices “read the license plates of passing vehicles and immediately cross-reference them with State DMV records and law enforcement databases to detect a vehicle that is stolen or was recently involved in a crime, as well as individuals wanted for outstanding criminal offenses.” “Our police deserve to have the best tools and resources at their disposal to fight crime and keep our communities safe, and I’m proud to always stand with them and provide them with the funding they need to do their jobs well,” said Senator Kaplan in a press release. “License plate readers are a cutting-edge tool that our law enforcement can use to catch criminals and solve crimes, and thanks to my new Public Safety Initiative, every local police department on

the North Shore of my district will now have access to this vital equipment.” Each of the seven North Shore police departments will receive a $150,000 grant to purchase the license plate reading device to install and help prevent auto thefts and other crimes in their communities. Mayor of the Village of Sands Point and the Sands Point Police Commissioner Peter Forman said, “Sands Point is grateful for a grant to allow us to continue to build out our public safety infrastructure, including enhancing our license plate readers (LPRs) especially with mobile LPRs in our patrol cars and with other progressive policing technologies.” Great Neck Estates Mayor William D. Warner, DDS, said, “My goal is always to ensure that our Police have the best tools to keep our community safe. Thanks to the new million-dollar Public Safety Initiative, which will provide our Village with $150,000 for public safety improvements, we have another tool

in our kit to fight crime here in the Village of Great Neck Estates and across the North Shore without asking local taxpayers to foot the bill. I’m grateful for Senator Kaplan’s leadership to bring license plate readers to our area, and I’m eager to work with her to get them up and running here in our Village.” On the Village of Great Neck Estates website, Chief Ricardo Moreno of the Great Neck Estates police department posted an advisory to make residents aware of the increase in car thefts. Luxury cars, SUVs and other vehicles with push start buttons and keyfobs have been the main target of auto thefts in Nassau County. “The thefts are occurring at all times of the day and night in which the car has been left unlocked and the key fob left in a vehicle equipped with a push button start,” reads the Great Neck Estates Police Department advisory. The Sands Point Police Department

shared on its website that “according to an independent research study, there are an average of 209 cars stolen each day with one common cause: the keys or key fobs were left inside the vehicle.” The Great Neck Estates Police Department shared some tips to avoid car thefts, listed below: • Never leave or hide a smart key, valet key, or spare key anywhere in or on your vehicle, no matter where you park it. • Always take your keys or fob with you. • Do not leave your car running with the keys in the ignition • If possible, park your vehicle in a locked garage. • Keep the exterior of homes and driveways well-illuminated. • Close all your vehicle windows completely when parked. • Secure your garage door opener to prevent access to your home.
