Baldwin High School seniors Rachel Lyons and Patrick Stuart have been named Commended Student by the 2023 National Merit Scholarship Program. The program is a nationwide competition conducted by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation. Lyons and Stuart received notification of their awards in late September. “We are extremely proud to see Rachel Lyons and Patrick Stuart recognized by the National Merit Scholarship Program,” Baldwin High Principal Neil Testa said. “We are confident
that this will be just one of the many accolades they will each attain this year, as both are exceptional students.” The students were recognized for their high scores on their PSAT tests, preliminary exams for the SAT, the standardized test used for college admissions. National Merit Commended Students fall in the top two-thirds of the nation’s highest scorers on the PSAT, just below the level of National Merit Scholars, and are eligible for special scholarships sponsored by businesses corporations and businesses. Lyons said she was grateful for the recognition and honored to be named, after having

Decade after Sandy, officials want to be prepared By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com
It’s been a decade since Hurricane Sandy devastated Nassau County. Yet, instead of showcasing what could’ve easily been the worst moments of many people’s lives — instead it displayed their perseverance. “We saw the very best in people,” said Hempstead town councilman Anthony D’Esposito, who was chief of the Island Park Fire Department at the time. “We saw the very best of the people that wear a uniform — whether as a career or as volunteers — putting their community first.” D’Esposito joined Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder and others during a commemoration ceremony last week, recalling many of those heroic stories in the face of a horrific storm. The councilman recalled one specific incident where a house burned in the middle of a flooded street. He had to do everything he could to stop the whole block from igniting, so his Island Park firefighting unit had no choice but to drive their truck straight through the house to destroy it. That allowed floodwaters to drown what remained of the blaze. Ryder remembers October 2012 as a very difficult month for the county police force after already losing Officers Joseph Olivieri and Arthur Lopez before being called up to help with Hurricane Sandy rescue. The commissioner recalls sitting in church with his family when that alert came. At first, Ryder was only given command of roughly 100 officers. But when the Sandy’s major surge hit, Ryder found himself in command of National Guardsmen, detectives, police officers and state troopers. With the chance another storm could pummel Long

NASSAu CouNtY ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman delivers remarks on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, joined by Tatum Fox, Steve Rhoads, Anthony D’Esposito, Rabbi Shalom Axelrod, and the Rev. John Tutone. Behind them are Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Emerson Lucatorto and Liz Ryan of the Nassau County Police Department. Island, Blakeman ran an emergency drill through his executive management office. “We had people thinking outside the box, working together as partners to make sure that people in Nassau County were safe,” Ryder said. “That’s the message and lessons that we’ve learned from Sandy. We know the next one will come, but we will be better prepared.” Fire Marshal Mike Uttaro looked back at the actual Sandy response, remembering the camaraderie. “We worked with teams we’ve never had before,” he said. “We had fire departments from the Adirondacks coming down in shifts to help the fire departments of the South Shore.” That was a team that included Richard Corbett, now
the emergency management office commissioner. “It was like a snow storm of concrete,” Corbett said. “It’s not the sand you walk in when you first get off the boardwalk. It’s the rock-hard sand down by the water, that you yell at your kids for throwing at each other.” With all the looking to the past, elected leaders like Blakeman have to keep a constant eye on the future. Especially when there are other storms — maybe not at Sandy levels — but storms like the remnants of Hurricane Ian last year can be just as devastating. “Three things keep me up at night,” Blakeman said. “Blizzards, active shooters and hurricanes. So, on two hours notice, I ran an emergency drill at the OEM Center. And I have to tell you, I felt a lot better.”

Baldwin churches hoast Trunk-or-Treat By ANDRE SILVA asilva@liherald.com
Two Baldwin churches celebrated Halloween and the spirit of giving with Trunk-or-treat events this weekend. St. Christopher’s Church and the Baldwin Boy Scouts Troop 824 held the annual ‘Trunk or Treat to pack the pantry’ on Sunday, October 30 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the church’s rear parking lot located on 11 Gale Avenue. Trunk-or-treat — a practice where community members decorate their trunks and display them in line in a parking lot — featured games, cars filled with candy, and joyful children trick-ortreating their way through the parking lot with their parents. Sal Cascio, one of the event coordinators and member of the Boy Scout Troop 824 from Baldwin, said they were raising donations through this event to collect food for St. Christopher’s Church Food Pantry, which donates and distributes food to Long Islanders in need during the holiday season. “All the sponsors and people who raised donations are helping to feed people in need throughout Baldwin, Rockville Centre, Freeport and Oceanside.” One of the sponsors, Jovia — a financial credit union, had its own green booth where Michelle Reed, a Digital Banking Specialist from Baldwin, and Rishe Poonai, a Branch Supervisor for Jovia in Oceanside, greeted parishioners. Reed said her son, a member of BSA Troop 824, inspired her to ask her workplace to support the troop by sponsoring the event. Next to the DJ Booth, Boy Scout Troop 824 Scoutmaster Larry
Vodopivec, worked the grill, cooking up hamburgers and hotdogs for parishioners. His wife Kathy Vodopivec, Boy Scout Troop District Emblems Coordinator for the Iroquois District of Nassau County, said Trunk-or-treat started as an idea for Boy Scout troops to complete service requirements, which materialized as the annual food drive. “We got the idea to about 15 years ago, and it’s just grown and grown since then,” said Vodopivec. At the same time across town, One Life Christian Church held their trunk-or-treat 2022 Fall Harvest at their parish located on 3147 Eastern Parkway. The church featured a mobile axe throwing truck, food and drinks, and games for children and parishioners to enjoy. Issac Bodaraco, Lead pastor of the church from Hempstead, said he felt blessed to entertain his parishioners on a warm sunny autumn day while celebrating community and the church. He said he joined the church approximately two years ago and is proud to preach to a diverse and tight-knit community like Baldwin. “This little church is of the most diverse on Long Island,” said Badaraco. Parishioners danced in front of a DJ booth and children enjoyed a bounce house. Among the crowd, Jason Noone, a church tech team member from Hempstead, said he felt proud to show the community what the church does in Baldwin and welcome new members. “Volunteers woke up early to set up and now we can enjoy with the community for the second year,” said Noone. “I wouldn’t miss it for anything.”

The school district said they chose the color orange because it’s a vibrant, impactful color, which represents safety and visibility, and is often described as a warm and inviting. “The simple act of wearing orange shows that youth experiencing bullying are not alone. The goal of wearing and sharing orange is to empower those who are bullied, and everyone around them, to speak up and reach out with kindness, acceptance, and inclusion,” said Julie Hertzog, director of the National Bulling Prevention Center.

Honoring businesses that stay family By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com
B
usinesses are family. Many times, that comes simply by the closeness of everyone involved. But then there are businesses that truly are families. RichnerLive and PSEG Long Island celebrated those amazing companies that keep the economic engines running in our communities at its annual Herald Family Business Awards last week over dinner, photos and networking. The Business Award — hosted by Jill Nicolini — serve as a chance to honor entrepreneurial families who manage successfully growing businesses. This includes everything from small mom-and-pop shops, to multinational and multigenerational corporations. The event was held at the Heritage Club in Bethpage, and brought business owners from all over the island to enjoy a meal, fine drinks and celebrating numerous awards in a wide MARK CRONIN range of categories. Mark and John Cronin were co-founder, John’s happy to be back at the Heritage Crazy Socks Club in Bethpage. They are the father-son duo behind John’s Crazy Socks, and were happy to come out on the other side of the Covid-19 pandemic stronger than ever. “It’s wonderful,” Mark Cronin said. “It’s nice to see family businesses recognized after all that’s happened.” It’s also a sign that — hopefully — the pandemic is now in the rearview mirror, allowing many — like Anne Shybunko-Moore — to focus on the future. The owner and chief executive of GSE Dynamics, did take a moment to reflect on the legacy of her late father, who had founded and built the company, and how great it would have been to share this particular evening — and success — with him. “He was the legacy that we’re honoring tonight, so this is very timely to pause and think about the founding of this company,” Shybunko-Moore said. “Now I’m a mother of four sons, and we’ve just been talking about trying to get to the next level and pass the baton on to the next generation.” Stew Leonard Jr., president and chief executive of the popular supermarket chain that bears his name, delivered a keynote reflecting on the joys — and occasional headaches — of running a family business. “You know, in family business, you got to love it, and you got to hate it,” he said, jokingly. “To be able to work with your family is such a rich experience. I love it, and hopefully we’ll be able to pass that on to the next generation.” Family is exactly what Stuart Richner, publisher of Herald Community Media, also knows all too well. “Leading a family company myself, I know how important it is to create an environment where everyone in the business is part of the family,” Richner said. “These are bonds fostered in achieving success, and making it meaningful.” In between drinks at a rotating wheel of hors d’oeuvres, attendees shared with each other different ways they had managed through the darkest days of the pandemic. “Family businesses are the lifeline to every community,” David Lyons, president and chief operating officer of PSEG Long Island said, told the crowd in a statement. “In addition to creating jobs and providing employment and career opportunities, they put money back into our local community through paychecks and taxes, supporting local businesses and services. They also contribute to the

The camaraderie, grit and creativity found in family businesses, she said, can’t be replicated anywhere else. That ability to stick together and come up with solutions under pressure is what makes family-run companies so unique. “I think for those that are here today it is very much a celebration of being able to cautiously be back together, in-person, but also a way to show respect for what we’ve had to persevere through,” Armentano said, “whether it’s been supply-chain issues, issues with their work-
force, or just general challenges from Covid.” The presenting sponsor for Herald Family Business Awards was PSEG Long Island, with Easy Tax Credits as a major sponsor. Partner sponsorships included Vishnick McGovern and Milizio, Lessing’s Hospitality Group, Whitmore Agency, The Bruderman Family of Companies, Maple Lanes RVC, PBI Payroll and Paraco Gas.

He finished the regular season (eight games) with 1,217 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns, and completed 34 of 43 pass attempts for 394 yards and 5 touchdowns with just one interception.

Twenty-two seconds. That was all that stood between the Baldwin boys’ soccer team and a trip to the Nassau Class AA semifinals. But time proved to be the enemy for the Bruins instead as Port Washington scored the tying goal late in regulation and the winner just over a minute into overtime to escape with a 3-2 stunner Oct. 26. Benjamin Hernandez and William Zelaya scored for No. 6 Baldwin (8-4-3), which lost by a goal in the quarterfinals for the third straight year. Third-seeded Port Washington (10-3-2) won both meetings this season, including a 2-0 victory on Sept. 20. “We made a couple of bad little decisions in the moment, which happens with pressure,” coach Chris Soupios said. “That opens up opportunities for teams and to Port Washington’s credit, they took advantage of that.” Zelaya broke a 1-1 tie with just over 27 minutes left in regulation when he took a pass from Biverly Brutus on the left wing before beating Port goalkeeper Benjamin Stein on the short side from the 5-yard line. “At that point in the game, we felt like we were in a good spot,” Soupios said. The Bruins almost got the clincher with 2:26 left, but Justin Jean-Louis’s shot that was heading towards the left side of the net was punched away by diving Stein. Baldwin tried to kill the clock in the final minute, but the Vikings gained possession and were awarded a free kick at the 18-yard line when midfielder Derrick Suarez was pulled down by a Bruin defender, which drew a yellow card. Port’s Davin Rabmin arced a shot that Josue Ascencio-Cueva blocked with his arm while leaping towards the top left corner of the goal, but Martin Hernandez converted the rebound for the equalizer. “We had the ball in the right spot and then things kind of just broke down,” Soupios said. “They were able to get the free kick due to the yellow card, which stopped time. It allowed them to set up and it allowed them to bring their whole team forward.”

AIDEN VERA WAS one of Baldwin’s five seniors and a key piece of its 8-win season that ended with a tough playoff defeat. In overtime, Ascencio-Cueva made a spectacular diving stop on Felix Rubinstein’s header after another Viking free kick from just inside the 30. But Rubinstein headed in the ensuing corner kick to send his team and home crowd into a frenzy. Hernandez headed in a corner kick from the right side with 22:31 left in the first half to open the scoring, the first goal Port allowed since Sept. 28. Sean Ernst knotted the game at 1 with 14 minutes left in the half when he headed in Roberto Lopez-Toloza’s long throw-in.
The Bruins will lose just five seniors off this year’s roster, including Hernandez, the team’s leading goal scorer this season, Brutus, Jean-Louis, defender Andres Moreno-Mahecha and Aiden Vera, whose tireless work ethic earned him a starting spot this year. Zelaya and Jean-Louis earned All-County honors, Ascencio-Cueva received AllCounty honorable mention and the conference’s Goalie of the Year for the second straight year. The All-Conference players were Christian Smalling, Robert Bautista and Hernandez.

Coll targets affordability, bail reform in run By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com
James Coll has never held a political office before, but everything inside him makes him feel he’s in it for all the right reasons. “I’m running because I’m concerned about the direction of the state,” Coll told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable event. “I have two kids in high school, and I want them to grow up in Nassau County. I want them to raise their families here, the same way that I did. Young people aren’t doing that anymore. They’re leaving where they were raised — and now their parents are following them — and we need to figure out a way to reverse that.” The 49-year-old Republican candidate is a retired New York Police Department detective from Seaford who spent 21 years on the force. Today, he teaches constitutional law at Nassau Community College. While Coll has yet to find political office, it’s not that he hasn’t sought it before, running previously for the Assembly seat now held by John Mikulin, and before that, for a seat as a Nassau County legislator. This time, with the support of the Republican Party, Coll is looking to topple an incumbent to become a state senator. Coll believes state lawmakers like his opponent violated their oath to uphold the state constitution when they voted to gerrymander district lines in a way benefitting Democrats earlier this year. “They broke the law when it came to redistricting,” he said. “Every level of the court system in New York state said that they broke the law.” Thanks to a lawsuit led by the GOP, an independent third party was called in to redraw the lines based on 2020 census data. As a result, the boundaries of this particular senate district were shifted to include South Shore communities like Baldwin, Freeport and Rockville Centre.

JAMES COLL HOPES the third time’s a charm as he looks to take over a state senate seat covering an area he — and his opponent — no longer live in. He says the cost of living is pushing people out of New York, and he wants to change that in Albany. It also shifted to not only exclude where Coll lives, but the incumbent he’s running against as well. They were both given a one-time exemption, meaning that by next election, the winner will either have to move, or find a new senate district. While the demographics making up the constituency of the senate district have changed, the message — at least as far as Coll is concerned — has not. “Wherever you come from in this county, you want your kids to be safe,” Coll said. “You want them to have a
good education. You want them to have opportunity. And mostly, you want them to be treated equally in the eyes of the law.” In addition to addressing the affordability crisis on Long Island — which he says has chased hundreds of thousands of people away from New York — Coll is ready to take on bail reform laws, which he believes set a dangerous precedent for the state justice system. “The first thing we need to do is with any piece of legislation, we should be listening to multiple voices in order to pass laws,” Coll said. “When it came to criminal justice reform in our state over the past few years — all of which was supported by my opponent — there were voices left out. Certainly, law enforcement was not part of the equation. Who should we have listened to? The cops, the prosecutors, lawyers. We should be listening to people that are critics of the police. We should be listening to victims. Everybody should have a seat at the table.” In order fix the problems with bail reform, Coll would grant judges more discretion to determine who can be granted “cashless bail” based on the level of the offense. Yet, Coll doesn’t see eye-to-eye with his fellow Republicans on every issue. For instance, he describes abortion as a settled issue, which he has no intention to alter. “For me, it’s an issue for women and their doctors,” Coll said. He is also in support of renewable and affordable energy alternatives, reasonable background checks for gun owners, and working to shut down the pipeline of illegal guns flowing into the state.
Thomas focuses on student loans, privacy By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com
Kevin Thomas is leaving it up to voters to decide whether he’s worthy of another term in the state senate. The Democratic incumbent from Levittown says it was his work in legal service that first got him into politics, helping people pay off private student loans and credit card debt. “I decided to be the good lawyer, the legal services guy who went to court every day and defended the little guy if they get sued,” Thomas told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable session. “So, this was just a bigger platform for me to help others.” His first bill to pass after his 2018 election to Albany helped create what became known as the Student Loan Borrower Bill of Rights — the first of its kind in the nation — intended to allow the state financial service department to audit federal student loan services like Sallie Mae. Thomas also touts his efforts to provide funding for local schools, the Nassau University Medical Center, infrastructural repairs, small businesses, and the efforts to clean up the contamination related to the Northrop Grumman plume. Thomas also supports the need provide consumers with more control over information, and how it can be accessed and used. “There are a lot of data brokers out there — especially with the companies that you give information to — who then resell it and use it for purposes that are beyond what the contract that you signed off says they could use it for,” Thomas said. “So there’s a lot of accountability that I’m trying to put into play here.” Thanks to a lawsuit led by the GOP, an independent third party was called in to redraw the lines based on

KEVIN THOMAS IS seeking another term in the state senate, where he hopes to continue his work to make the state more affordable, while keeping a very close eye on crime rates. 2020 census data. As a result, the boundaries of this particular senate district were shifted to include South Shore communities like Baldwin, Freeport and Rockville Centre. It also shifted to not only exclude where Thomas lives, but also his challenger. They were both given a one-time exemption, meaning that by next election, the winner
will either have to move, or find a new senate district. Thomas is no stranger to bipartisan efforts. While the two major political parties will often disagree, they have maintained a civilized working relationship in Albany. Much like those on the other side of the aisle, Thomas has been an outspoken supporter of maintaining a 2 percent cap on property tax increases, and is focused on working to make Nassau a more affordable place for people to live. “People who can’t afford anything are still living with their parents,” he said. “This is an issue that everyone has been trying to tackle for years now. If you’re making $50,000 to $60,000, what is affordable? There are some innovative ways that are going into this, but we need to do a lot more.” For public safety, however, Thomas has a multifaceted approach. “If you look at the data here, recidivism before bail reform and after are around the same,” he said. He indicated that under the law, judges currently have discretion to determine who is eligible for bail, despite claims that indicate otherwise. He also says the state has passed legislation to allow them to prosecute gun traffickers caught with at least three illegal firearms, and have continued to help fund mental health programs. “There’s so much here that to just blame it all on bail reform is completely unfair,” Thomas said. “What we’ve seen for decades were people who did not have money when they are arrested for misdemeanors or nonviolent felonies and were kept in jail until there’s a trial date.”

The rock legends visit Long Island with ex-Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner on their current tour. Pioneering the heavy metal style while providing inspiration to psychedelic jam bands and arena rockers alike, the genre-bending band offers a taste of the wild side. They’ve been known to incorporate elements of science-fiction and dark occultism into their jaw-dropping live show, and this allegiance to dynamic and masterful performances has led to the group being covered by everyone from Metallica and HIM to moe. Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success.
Bring on the Let’s talk turkey By Karen Bloom ow that the candyfest (aka Halloween), spooky outings and fall fairs are behind us, the holiday season kicks into high gear. And that means it’s time to think about that upcoming feast. We’ve all heard about this year’s turkey shortage, so doing some advance prep is a smart move. Everyone strives for the “Perfect Thanksgiving.” It can be anything you want it to be: so traditional it makes you homesick, or so creative and nouvelle that it results in special new Thanksgiving memories for all who attend. Still, certain traditions remain. Especially the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal: turkey. If there is one annual event where the same succulent dishes are demanded by diners, it is Thanksgiving. What would this celebration be without the smell of roast turkey wafting through the house? What would “Uncle Jim” say if he could not slather cranberry sauce over the top of the brown meat? There must be gravy and mashed potatoes! And stuffing! These are the dishes that make Thanksgiving a memorable repast.
Roast Turkey with Cranberry Fruit Dressing Turkey: • 14-16 pound whole turkey, fresh or frozen (thawed) • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 2 medium onions, chopped • 16 ounces jellied cranberry sauce • 1/3-cup light brown sugar
Remove giblet (discard liver), neck and any visible fat from turkey; reserve for stock. Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels. Season inside and outside of turkey with salt and pepper. Tie drumsticks together and twist wing tips behind the back. Place turkey, breast side up, on a wire roasting rack (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) in shallow pan. Cover loosely with foil. Roast turkey in a preheated 325-degree F oven about 2-1/2 hours, basting with pan juices. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook onions with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until very soft. (If onions begin to brown, lower heat.) Stir in cranberry sauce and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove foil and pour glaze over bird. Continue to roast ½ to 1-¼ hours or until the thermometer registers 180-degree F in the thigh and 170-degree F in the breast. Remove turkey from oven. Allow turkey to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
sauce, sage, thyme and turkey broth. Coat a 2-quart oven-proof dish with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Spoon dressing in dish and bake uncovered at 325-degree F for 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-degree F.
Dressing: • 3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix • 2 cups mixed dried fruit, chopped • 1 cup celery, chopped • 2/3 cup onion, chopped • 1 cup whole cranberry sauce • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage • 1/2 teaspoon thyme • 1-1/2 cups turkey broth or reduced-sodium chicken bouillon • Vegetable cooking spray
Wash off the cranberries and look for any that may be past their prime and discard. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the cranberries and allow the water to return to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to cook until the cranberries burst. Stir until the mixture resembles a thick sauce with chunks of fruit. Allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken as it cools further.
In medium-size bowl combine stuffing mix, dried fruit, celery, onion, cranberry
Classic Cranberry Sauce This year skip the canned cranberry jelly and go for fresh sauce. It’s very easy to make. • 1 cup water or orange juice (or pomegranate juice) • 1 cup sugar • 4 cups fresh cranberries

Runners raised funds to fight against Leukemia and Lymphoma this weekend at Baldwin Harbor Park. The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) promoted the 11 Annual Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run on Saturday morning, October 29 at Baldwin Harbor Park located on 3232 Grand Avenue. Families and runners joined together to raise donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Long Island Chapter located in Melville, by participating in The Pumpkin Fun Run 9:00 a.m. and the 5K at 9:30 am. Randy Vogt, director of public relations for the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association, said supporting blood cancer research is important to the local soccer community because of the life of Marianne Volpe. Volpe, a Baldwin resident was 56 years old in October 2011 when she died of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia — an aggressive form of blood cancer, leaving behind her husband Jim, daughters Chelsea and Shaun, three brothers, five sisters and countless friends. Vogt said there are many stories of people like Marianne Volpe, whose lives are cut tragically short by this disease.
Jim Volpe is now a Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) Hall of Famer and Chairperson of the Eastern New York Olympic Development Program — a program designed to identify and advance talented youth throughout the state — for nearly a decade. The Volpe family started the Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run the day before Hurricane Sandy hit the New York metro area in 2012 and both the soccer and since then raised over 250,000 dollars to fight debilitating and fatal diseases. The non-profit Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) operates from Montauk Point, Long Island to the Canadian border. The association is comprised of approximately 100,000 youth soccer players — both boys and girls —and more than 25,000 volunteer. Vogt said ENYYSA exists to promote and enhance the game of soccer for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and encourage the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators.

Time to replace the kitchen
Q. We are replacing our kitchen after living in our house for 37 years. It seems that there’s a lot to choose from, and we’ve been getting different opinions, including suggestions to take a wall down and have an island and a more open first floor. How do we know if the wall is structural, and whether we need a permit for this? Who would know? A. Yes, you need a permit, because you’re changing the structure and configuration of your first floor. Although the wall you take down may be a bearing wall, something that should be examined by an architect or engineer, consider that the wall weighs a lot and you’ll be altering the load, even if you’re taking it away, because the island onte eeper has a differently load. Weight distribution is much more important than most people understand until movement causes cracking to appear. There are many ideas about kitchens, and depending on where you go, there are different levels of training as well. Some places emphasize computer configurations based on great software, and others have many grades of cabinets, from the thin “thermofoil” finishes — vinyl that’s heat-molded around low-density fiberboard doors — to high-end all-wood, custom-fitted in several parts that are jointed using splines and dovetails, woodworking techniques meant to help hold parts together or allow them to move for natural expansion and contraction, since there are many humidity and temperature changes in a cooking area. Low-density fiberboard can swell at cabinet door edges and in the toe-kick area. Once this happens, it has to be replaced or lived with, and usually looks unsightly. Heavier laminates over high-density fiberboard are in the middle of the cost spectrum, and generally perform better over many years without cracking and separating. Some things to pass on are farm-style sinks that protrude, since they contribute to more water problems with surrounding cabinets, even though they look great. Under-mount sinks are sealed better, have hidden edges and drain water back into the sink, whereas farm sinks are raised above the counter and drain on to the adjacent cabinets and counters. Make sure the refrigerator isn’t the end unit next to a wall, or that there is a filler piece or no wall, since the refrigerator door usually swings past the side of the refrigerator and won’t open fully with a wall next to it. Some refrigerators need 6 to 10 inches of side space. I’ve always wondered why someone needs a “potfiller” faucet above their cooking surface, since the pot has to be carried to the sink to drain afterward anyway. Save the money for a gym membership, so you can more easily lift those heavy pots and carry them to and from the sink. Experience has taught me that natural stone isn’t a better choice than engineered quartz. Stone needs cleaning and applied sealing, whereas quartz is much more durable and carefree and has many uniform choices of the stone look. Good luck!

e haven’t heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris recently. We heard and saw plenty from Harris during the 2020 campaign season, as well as during President Biden’s tumultuous first year. She was initially warmly received, but her approval ratings tanked along with the president’s. Perhaps Harris’s most notable moment was when she told Guatemalan migrants, “Do not come” to the United States. That only continued her ratings’ downward trend. And yet as pubMICHAEL lic opinion of the presidency MALASZCZYK Biden has generally improved in recent months, we still haven’t heard a peep from the vice president. Think about it. What does the vice president actually do? You probably learned in history class that he (and now she) presides over the Senate. And that’s about it. There’s nothing in the Constitution spelling out vice presidential duties except for wielding a gavel during Senate proceedings and, of course, becoming president if the president dies or resigns, which doesn’t happen much.
N
Yet it seems noteworthy that we haven’t heard from Harris much. We didn’t hear a lot from Mike Pence in the Trump years, either. So the question is: After a few administrations in which vice presidents took on larger roles, is the vice presidency returning to its original role of being, well, meaningless? We first have to understand the history of both the original role and the more recent model. The vice presidency was originally a job that had no relevance unless the president died, and the candidate was chosen as an ideological balance of the president in order to win the election. You probably can’t name many vice presidents, and those you can most likely either became president themselves or were in office more recently. John Adams, the country’s first vice president under George Washington, hated the job, calling it “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived.” Thomas Marshall, V.P. under Woodrow Wilson, once joked that a woman had two sons: One of them went to sea, the other became vice president and neither was ever heard from again. John Nance Garner, who was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first vice president, said the office was “not worth a bucket of warm spit.”
I
That changed in 1940. Roosevelt and Garner had a falling out, and FDR replaced Garner with a former cabinet secretary, Henry A. Wallace. Wallace had lots of government experience. Other vice presidents had been qualified too, but Wallace made the office into something more, given executive oversight over several committees and going on speaking tours nationwide. He was referred to by newspapers of the time as the “assistant president.” The vice presidency was changing. The Democratic Party replaced Wallace with Harry Truman in 1944, and Truman and Roosevelt never hit it off like Wallace and FDR did, but future vice presidents built on the Wallace model. Dwight Eisenhower’s second in command, Richard Nixon, had even more responsibilities than Wallace. Lyndon Johnson was John F. Kennedy’s liaison to the wings of the Democratic Party that Kennedy had trouble connecting with, and then Hubert Humphrey served in that same role for Johnson. While Spiro Agnew, Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller didn’t have memorable vice presidencies, Walter Mondale took the role to new heights, and got an office in the White House. George H.W.
t seems that vice presidential momentum has come to a screeching halt.
Bush, Dan Quayle, Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Joe Biden all served as top confidants and advisers to their presidents, and maintained high national profiles. Then vice presidential momentum slowed with Pence, and came to a screeching halt with Harris. It seems that both Trump and Biden chose their running mates based more on the electoral disadvantages the top men had than their need for a good second-incommand. Trump never had a particular use for Pence, but needed him on the ticket to appeal to the more traditional wing of the Republican Party. Biden was thinking the same way, but about the less traditional wing of the Democratic Party. Neither was much concerned about who could best serve as their No. 2, and Biden’s diversity-related blind spot made Harris the right choice — but he apparently has little need for whatever she can bring to the table as a leader. All of this raises the question, after two lackluster V.P.s — unless something changes dramatically during the balance of the Biden administration — is the vice presidency returning to its historical role of being little more than a campaign pitch? Will we get an “assistant president” again any time soon? Michael Malaszczyk is a Herald reporter covering Wantagh and Seaford. Comments about this column? mmalaszczyk@ liherald.com.
An election that will move heaven and earth
ext Tuesday, the heavens will offer us an unusual astronomical spectacle: A lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red during the very early hours of the day, as our celestial neighbor moves into the earth’s shadow. Next Tuesday is also Election Day, the 2022 midterms. This, too, promises to be an unusual event, with America teetering on its democratic foundation as forces social and political threaten to pull us apart. I couldn’t have imagined writing those words five RANDI years ago, but the KREISS earth is tilting on its axis in new and frightening ways. With the blood moon in sight, I hold two thoughts in my head at the same time. First, the election seems hyperconsequential. Everything — our freedoms, our privacy rights, our separation of church and state — seem to be riding on the choice of elected offices, from governorships to judges and from senators to representatives. As we draw closer to voting day, the urgency grows
more intense, the ads flood the internet and airwaves, and every word out of every candidate’s mouth is parsed and studied and defined for us by a ginnedup media. Every debate is a high-wire act. Fringe actors aligned with QAnon and other seriously crazy groups are emboldened to push the limits of civility and then step over the line. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, QAnon is an “umbrella term for a sprawling spiderweb of right-wing internet conspiracy theories with antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ elements.” Its power and efficacy are in play, and it has followers in the GOP, both in and out of office. What hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Only our rights to reproductive freedom. Only the ability to go to the polls without being harassed and threatened. Only the assurance that enough people still care about democracy to vote their conscience. Only the knowledge that most voters condemn racism and antisemitism when they see it. Only the peace of mind of knowing that officeseekers who traffic in lies will be defeated by a savvy electorate. As we go to press, the atmosphere is
W
supercharged, with the Jan. 6 insurgency fresh in our minds and an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home in the headlines. Like her or not, the woman is a rock. At 82, she survived the invasion of the Capitol just 21 months ago. Last Friday, a violent intruder broke into her home, calling, “Where’s Nancy?” He beat her husband with a hammer before being subdued. Somehow she is still standing, but the attack has poisoned the political atmosphere. The internet is crawling with extremist websites and incitements to violence in the name of authoritarian principles and leaders. How does the average voter figure out who are the truth-tellers and who are the unprincipled power players? How do we who support our democracy make our way through this? This is a tough time to face an election, either as a candidate or as a voter. Some days if feels overwhelming. When I feel overwhelmed, the other thought I summon is a calming one. Yes, the election is important, but the next day, whoever wins, the sun will still rise.
hat hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Almost too much to enumerate.
Those of us who find our hearts pounding with anxiety at the possible ascendancy of the former president and his acolytes must look past the moment. We can’t sustain high anxiety and remain productive and healthy. We go with the flow of history and do our jobs as best we can to support the decent people who want to serve. However the voters decide, I plan to get up before dawn and find the moon sailing across the sky. I hope to see some of the eclipse before the sun comes up on Election Day. Feet on the ground, I will hold onto the thought that our time here is brief. It would be good to leave this planet healthier and its people wiser than before we arrived, but our options are limited. The rarest of astronomical events is the total aligning of all the planets. The last time it happened was 949, and the next time will be 2492. Our lives are so small in terms of the universe that we are 1,073 years late for the first planetary alignment and 470 years too early for the next. What happens next Tuesday may change our lives, but over the arc of time, this election season is a blip on the celestial map. Deep breath. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

Making ‘affordable’ housing actually affordable
L
ooking to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Nassau County? Expect to pay a little more than $2,000 per month. Except for many, that expectation just isn’t realistic. To afford an apartment like that with healthy finances — meaning spending no more than 30 percent of your total income on housing expenses — a tenant would need to make over $39 per hour, or $81,400 per year. Even if that cost were split between two people, both would have to earn about $5 per hour above minimum wage in Nassau County, and work fulltime jobs. This might seem like a new problem to many, but affordable housing has been trouble for a long time. And we’re still waiting for the right legislative recipe to help get us on the right track. And it needs to come soon. The annual report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition reveals that while just 20 percent of Nassau households are rentals, that still accounts for more than 86,000 units. The typical hourly wage of these renters, however, is just above minimum wage, meaning they need to rent for much less — like $800. Paying for housing, for the very people who need it, would require them to work 2.6 full-time jobs — quite literally nearly every waking hour. Only a few places in
New York are worse: Rockland and Putnam counties, along with Staten Island would require three full-time jobs, and Suffolk is in the same boat as Nassau. Affordable housing means something we can pay for while still having money left over for all the other necessities in life. You know, like food, medical care, getting around. To make that work best, the federal government has determined that just 30 percent of a household’s income should go to housing expenses. Unfortunately, what people are making — and what they are asked to pay to live somewhere like Nassau County — just isn’t adding up. And it needs to. Yet it’s not from a lack of effort. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have made genuine efforts to create more affordable living. Their ideas for ways to achieve that goal might be different, but the outcome has been the same: affordable housing becomes mandatory in multifamily projects. And that’s good. What isn’t good is that once we hear “affordable,” we think the problem is solved. But it’s not — the variables used to determine affordability are far too broad, and cross over too much disparity in income. That means that wealthier households artificially inflate the income of a region, meaning that “affordable” rents are much higher rate than they should be.
For example, Nassau’s area median income is $129,900 — joined with Suffolk as the highest in New York. But that calculation encompasses 450,000 households — which include a handful whose income is well above $25 million. Most households are nowhere near that. Not even close. So trying to determine affordability with those kinds of incomes just isn’t fair. If we want to truly address affordable housing, area median income calculations are precisely where we need to start. These variables are far too broad, and need to be far more community-based. Real estate brokers rely heavily on “comps” — comparable prices of similar homes in the same neighborhood. Imagine if those comps were countywide. The housing market would grind to a halt. Sure, one alternative to renting is buying. Owning a home is the dream of so many — but is not always achievable. Housing prices have outpaced wages, and let’s not forget rising mortgage interest rates brought on by inflation. A solid economy depends on affordability, and there is no greater potential hit to affordability than housing costs. As we get ready to cast our ballots, choosing who will represent us locally, in Albany and in Washington, let’s look for the best ideas to keep Nassau not only beautiful, but affordably livable.

rarely make snap judgments, because I don’t think it’s fair to the party who is the subject of my attention. I have known Donald Trump personally, and on three occasions I was his counsel. Professional standards do not allow me to talk about the subject of our relationship, so I will refrain from saying anything about business. But watching Trump’s actions over the past few years has driven me to say that no president has ever soiled the dignity of the White House as JERRY has he. I have no doubt KREMER that the former president will seek another term in the White House. His hunger for power has no limits, and he learned over the course of four years that a president can get away with just about anything. Almost every day of the week there is a story detailing how, in one way or another, he bent the rules to serve his agenda. A recent House committee report described how the Trump organization overcharged the country
to house Secret Service personnel. That was just a $1.4 million drop in the bucket. Any discussion of the Trump experience has to start with the Charlottesville, Virginia, demonstrations in August 2017. Hundreds of anti-Black and anti-Jewish ralliers paraded Ku Klux Klan-style on their way to a Unite the Right event. The following day, when a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters, a woman was killed. Afterward, Trump stated that “there were very fine people on both sides.” That was his wink-wink to the neo-Nazi, neo-fascist, white supremacist nation. Fast-forward to the weeks and months after the November 2020 election. Unable to accept his loss, Trump worked closely with lawyers and sycophants in an effort to prevent the results from being certified. No president in the history of this country has ever tried to stop an election from being certified with false delegate slates. At least members of the Trump legal team are facing the possibility of criminal charges recommended by a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury.
LETTERS ‘You are making democracy work’
E
Let’s move on to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Numerous former Trump administration officials have testified under oath that Trump made no efforts to stop the marauding crowd from smashing its way into the Capitol and desecrating its halls. Four people died during that riot, and five law enforcement officers died in its aftermath. Despite pleas by Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, among others, the president refused to call the National Guard to end the melee. How about the sitting grand jury in Georgia? There are few people who haven’t heard the recording of Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state, asking him to find “11,700 more votes,” which would have overturned President Biden’s win in Georgia. It is a fact that such calls are specific violations of the state’s election laws, which prohibit any attempts to undermine election results. No one knows what the grand jury will recommend, but there is little doubt that laws were broken. The media have reported countless stories about the classified documents
ven Richard Nixon had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid jail.
FRAMEWORK by Tim Baker
To the Editor: New York State elections are secure and reliable. The election process is administered by a bipartisan team of election workers. Workers representing both major parties oversee ballot counting, a common practice nationwide to provide checks and balances in the election process. Election administrators and poll workers have to be residents of our county. The people who run our elections are not strangers. They are members of our communities — neighbors, friends and family. Every step of our election process is monitored and secured, from the voter registration process to the postelection audit. The voter registration process in New York state ensures that only those meeting state eligibility requirements are able to vote, and it helps keep track of who has cast a ballot. Registered voters can vote early in person, on Election Day in person, or by absentee ballot. All ballots must be returned by mail or in person. Ballots are submitted to election machines that have been pre-approved by the state Board of Elections. Each piece of election equipment is tested before being used on Election Day, and all voting machines are barred from connecting to the internet. Finally, all county boards of elections must conduct post-election audits to further verify results. Whichever way you choose to vote this year, know that by doing so, you are making democracy work. SARAH NICHOLAS President, League of Women Voters of Long Beach
One last treescape of green — Glen Cove
that found their way to Trump’s Mar-aLago estate. These papers are the property of the people, and not one man. Florida attorneys representing the former president are facing professional misconduct charges because they chose to repeat the lies Trump has told. There is a chance that the case pending in U.S. District Court could result in Trump’s indictment, but no one knows if that will happen. I have followed the actions of presidents dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. Not one of the men who succeeded him has ever had so many potential criminal charges hanging over his head. Richard Nixon was in deep trouble, but he had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid going to jail. The fate of Donald Trump is yet to be decided. He may walk free as a bird, or he may face a historic date in a criminal court, but one thing is certain. There is no way to whitewash our history books, and in the end, they won’t overlook one man’s ugly history.
