Big night for Nassau GOP

But local Democratic incumbents remained ahead HeralD STaff reporT sbrinton@liherald.com

As the Herald went to press late Tuesday night, Bruce Blakeman, the Republican Town of Hempstead councilman, had surged past incumbent Democrat Laura Curran in the race for county executive, with 92 percent of precincts reporting. At press time, an official winner had not been declared, but Blakeman had 52 percent of the vote to Curran’s 48 percent. Close to 20,000 absentee ballots remained to be counted, however. What was certain: Republican Anne Donnelly, a 32-year career prosecutor in the Nassau district attorney’s office, was declared the winner in the contest for D.A. Donnelly defeated State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, garnering 60 percent of the vote. Republican Elaine Phillips, a for mer state senator, was declared the winner in the race for county comptroller, besting Democrat Ryan Cronin. And Republican Maureen O’Connell

News brief Baldwin middle school students raise nearly $5000 for breast cancer research, awareness In honor of breast cancer awareness month, students in Baldwin Middle School’s National Junior Honor Society continued its longstanding tradition of participating in the annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, hosted by the American Cancer Society. This year, the students brought the walk to Baldwin Harbor Park, raising over $4,100 for breast cancer research, surpassing their goal of $3,000 and ranking #53 out of

1,013 teams from across long island. “I am so proud of how our learners continue to come together to achieve a common goal that not only impacts our community, but contributes to a global cause,” said Mr. Andrew DiNapoli, principal of Baldwin Middle School. The Baldwin High School Key Club also took part in the event, donating approximately $860 to the American Cancer Society.

The Hempstead Town Board presented the Town of Hempstead Small Business Award to Patric and Nathalee Francis, owners of the Coalhouse Grill in Baldwin, on Oct. 14 at Hempstead Town Hall. Nathalee, the owner of the Coalhouse Grill, found creative ways to keep the doors open at her Baldwin restaurant even during the height of the COVID-19

outbreak. Not only did Nathalee continue serving her community delicious meals throughout the pandemic, she worked collaboratively with the town board to promote the Town of Hempstead’s outdoor dining program – providing an example for other area restaurants to take similar steps to adapt to the changing landscape surrounding the food service industry.

The scariest houses for the scariest season

BALDWIN HERALD — November 4, 2021

By Cristina arroyo rodriguez carroyo@liherald.com

This Oct. 31, Baldwinites took their families trick or treating around their neighborhoods. Grand Avenue, Jefferson Street, Thomas Avenue and Harrison Avenue, among other streets, featured decorated residences, ranging from a house on Grand Avenue that had over a dozen life-size skeletons and monsters to another that had cute inflatable ghosts and spiders for the kids. Children and adults were upbeat, most practicing social distancing and masking protocols. Generally, they mentioned they saw an increase in trick or treater traffic compared to last year during Covid. When speaking to some homeowners who put a lot of work into their decorations, they spoke of already brainstorming about next years’ decorations and how perhaps a Halloween house decorating contest could be introduced.

Hangout One Happy Place spreads positivity kovac@liherald.com

Hangout One Happy Place have been putting up positive signs all around Baldwin in the past month. Founder Angela Lucas allowed the verbal and non-verbal all-ability young teens to decide on their activities, and deciding on making signs, Lucas got the supplies but made sure the young adults learned life skills by putting them together. The comradery of the teens getting together and doing these events further solidifies how the, “kids love each other like family.” Lucas said of the project, “This project, whether you’re high or low [spectrum], you can participate. Not every sign

is perfect… the sign may not be perfect, but you are perfect.” Lucas added, “It’s just something you look up and you smile; everyone was so pumped up, they wanted to hang more… Our goal is to go all the way down Grand Avenue.” Lucas, who started the program for allability young teens, aimed to make her program different than the programs she’d seen, by allowing teens to socialize more and have more of a say in what they do, instead of just being told. “Socialization and real-life skills are important, making choices, building something, creating something, not someone saying this is what you’re going to do… having a voice and a choice, where they never get a voice or choice, especially in the commu-

nity,” she said. The community interaction between Baldwin and Hangout One Happy Place is not new. At the Grand Baldwin Festival behind the Baldwin Public Library over the summer, the teens made jewelry and sold it along with shirts and hats, while also dancing and having fun with the community. “This is giving back to the community, and now when they ride up Grand Avenue and Merrick Road, they can be proud they did that…we sprayed the signs three, four times to last,” Lucas told the Herald. Legislator Debra Mule who attended the sign hanging wrote of the event online, “ ‘Move through each day with a happy spirit’ are words that members of the Baldwin’s very own Hangout One Happy Place live by. Yesterday they helped spread some positivity in the Baldwin community by sharing original works of art with uplifting messages.” The Baldwin community continues Continued on page 14

Baldwin Harbor Park saw 175 racers running in sunshine and rain for the 10th annual Marianna Volpe 5k and additional Pumpkin Fun Run hosted in person and online on Oct. 30. The run is in honor of Marianna Volpe who was a Baldwin resident that at the age of 56 died of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, an aggressive form of blood cancer. Her husband Jim, daughters Chelsea and Shaun, three brothers and five sisters started the run the day before Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The new Girl Scout Troop 2210 was happy to participate in the kids’ Pumpkin Fun Run held before the 5k. Troop leader Sophea Sainsurin said the group “just formed this year, so it’s the first community event we’ve attended and we want to make it an annual event. I met Bob, the husband of Marianna and said this is something I want the girls to get familiar with and teach them a little bit about Leukemia.”

Hewlett Senior Football With the eXCeptioN of driving the team bus back to Hewlett, Winkler did it all for the Bulldogs on Oct. 22 when they defeated Lynbrook, 33-14, in a pivotal Conference III game. The secondyear starting quarterback rushed for 211 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and also threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi Jean-Baptiste. On defense, Winkler made 11 tackles and forced a fumble, and on special teams he blocked a field-goal try.

Alternating wins and losses over the eight-game re gular season wasn’t enough for Baldwin to punch a ticket to the Nassau Conference II football playoffs in its first season under head coach Frank Chimienti. Despite blowing out Roslyn in last Saturday’s finale, 37-18, the Bruins (4-4) fell just short of snagging the conference’s final playoff berth, which went to Elmont by the slim margin of 1.04 power rating points. “It hurts collecting all the equipment,” Baldwin head coach Frank Chimienti said. “We were the 9-seed and knew going into the season based on where we were seeded, we most likely had to beat someone ranked ahead of us to make the playoffs. In the end, every team that got in [the playoffs] was seeded above us.” All of the Bruins’ points in the finale came in the first half and allowed Chimienti to get everyone on the roster playing time. Junior Anthony Byron, who emerged as their feature back this fall and was also the second-leading tackler on defense, had touchdown runs of 32, 7 and 31 yards. “He’s only 145 pounds but he’s an intelligent kid and a great leader,” Chimienti said of Byron. “He’s an elusive runner and just finds the ball on defense and makes stops.” Baldwin scored twice in 40 seconds to lead 16-0 after the first quarter. Senior linebacker Cadeem Ramsay, who only began playing football in the spring, was credited with a safety to make it 9-0. Then, following a free kick back to the Bruins, sophomore tailback Shane Mauldin raced 41 yards for a touchdown. Byron had two touchdowns in the second quarter and sophomore Eugene Brown added another just before halftime. Kicker Leonidis Tobar went 5-for-5 on extra-point tries. Roslyn scored 18 unanswered points to make the final respectable. “We went into the day knowing we needed some help to sneak into the playoffs,” Chimienti noted. “Long Beach needed to lose, and there was another scenario where we needed two things to

There’s a lot of potential and it looks like we’re going back to Conference I next year.” Baldwin won all of its even-week games while losing all of its odd-week games. In addition to topping Roslyn, the

Bruins handled Glen Cove, Sewanhaka and Calhoun. Their closest contest of the campaign, win or lose, was a 13-6 victory at Calhoun on Oct. 16. They trailed at halftime before Ramsay’s 20-yard touchdown reception from senior quarterback Zach Kirschner and Cedric Jean-Pierre’s extra point put them ahead for good in the third quarter. Byron had a fourthquarter touchdown run. Junior Kwasi Bonsu and sophomore Rodney Mills led the best defensive effort of the campaign.

$235,000 raised in total across the years Runner Gerald Snell participated in the 5k in memory of a lost loved one, he told the Herald, “My sister had multiple myeloma. I’ve been running this race in her memory ever since. This is the tenth year… it’s a great cause.” Friends Chuck Carr and Jane Blackburn nodded in agreement, with Carr saying, “It’s a great cause, it gets the community out, and you always feel that when you come here.” Joanne Hendrickson came to support the cause and practice for the New York City Marathon, saying, “The New York City Marathon is 26.2 miles, so next week will be painful. Today is go-out-and-dosomething-good-while-training day.” “The Voice of Long Island Running and Racing,” Terry Bisogno has been announcing L.I. races for 16 years, saying that this event is “important for raising money for cancer” and that “everyone is happy to be here, the long island running and racing community is terrific, it’s like one big family.” He added, “There are hundreds of races on Long Island each year, and next year coming out of Covid, they’ll be bigger and better.” Finishing first was Robert Devinney, 50, from Long Beach, second was Helen Primrose, 42, from Floral Park and third was Kinsey Sheppard, 27, from Baldwin.

Indeed, race and diversity have proven to be polarizing. In Baldwin’s most popular Facebook group, with 6,100 members, posts mentioning diversity have been barred for being too political, especially after Hispanic Heritage month, when a post about it produced comments rife with racial microaggressions and other verbal jabs. Researchers have spoken about the consequences of the media’s perpetuat-

ing the false narrative of a shrinking white population, pointing to the census numbers. The psychological literature suggests that this tends to foster angst among white people about the future of their political representation, social status and access to resources. The bureau jettisoned the ter ms “majority” and “minority,” in part to prevent division. It wrote, “In the past, the Census Bureau had sometimes used the concept of ‘majority’ and ‘minority’ for measuring diversity, but this approach has several conceptual and practical challenges that limit its ability to illustrate the complex racial and ethnic diversity of the U.S. population.” Michelle Somers, a Baldwin resident whose youngest son recently graduated from Baldwin High School in a class that “looked like the United Nations,” Somers said, perhaps summed up Baldwin’s relationship with racial diversity best, saying, “Diversity is the thing that makes Baldwin special . . . It’s not perfect, and yes, things are changing, but yes, we can all get along.”

News brief Man fatally struck by train at LIRR station A man was f atally struck by a train on Monday morning at about 3:50 a.m. east of the Baldwin station, a Long Island Rail Road spokesperson said. The incident caused rushhour delays on the Babylon branch as service was suspended between Jamaica and Babylon. By 9:12 a.m., nor mal service resumed with trains on or close to schedule. LIRR officials did not identify the man who was hit. An investigation is ongoing.

BALDWIN HERALD — November 4, 2021

to the revamping of the racial question, the bureau stated, “The improvements and changes enabled a more thorough and accurate depiction of how people self-identify . . . These changes reveal that the U.S. population is much more multiracial and more diverse than what we measured in the past.” Regardless of the reasons behind the data, Baldwinites are aware of the role of diversity in their community. Kami Clahar took to social media to write, “My parents were one of the first homeowners of color to move to Baldwin back in 1975 . . . Diversity should be celebrated by all Baldwin residents, because it has given a lot of us a much better quality of life than we would have gotten elsewhere.” Likewise, Ryan Kunz-Ford, a Baldwin resident who identifies as mixed race, said, “I as well grew up in Baldwin. My mother grew up here and graduated in 1974. I think diversity is something that makes Baldwin wonderful.” Jeff Barkan agreed, saying, “Diversity is why we moved to Baldwin many years ago . . . I just hope that as Baldwin becomes gentrified that we remain a diverse community for all to interact and enjoy.” Baldwinite Elizabeth Douje agreed, but she also noted that diversity and inclusion are not synonymous. Baldwin is diverse, she said, but “there are many who do not want to see the inclusion.”

Q. We just bought a house and want to add to it. We talked to our village inspector, and he said we have limitations because the house is in a flood area. We want to add a two-story addition to the house if we can avoid raising it. What do you suggest, and how can we avoid lifting the house, which we think will make our plans unaffordable?

Wantagh

HOME Of tHE WEEK

New and Amazing Home

f looking for a home is your dilemma, then look no further than this beauty on Emma Street. This diamond 4 bedroom, 3 bath Colonial located in Wantagh Woods features a new eat-in-kitchen with quartz counters and island, new bathroom with designer rain shower head. Custom wainscoting and tray ceilings as well as crown molding, hi-hats, gleaming hardwood floors, new roof, 150amp electric, 2 zone CAC and gas hot water heater. The master bedroom has 2 walk in closets with built in closet organizer. The full finished basement has a separate outside entrance, full bath. MUST SEE AT $849.999

A. You probably should have asked this question before the purchase, not after. In general, the Federal Emergency Management Agency requirement is that the building must be mitigated, made resilient to the potential of flooding, if either the dollar amount or area to be added on or worked on exceeds 50 percent of the existing buildonte eeper ing. That was what the official was telling you. People are often in denial about the extremes they will need to go through, and think this issue is negotiable. Buying a house in a flood zone with the intention of making major changes or additions isn’t a good idea if you aren’t prepared for the expense of major lifting to get the habitable level at least 2 feet above the base flood level for the zone the house is in. When I meet with people who are proposing to do any kind of major work in a flood zone, I often have to deal with seeing the disappointment in their faces followed by the discussion of how their project is either going to be the exception or nowhere near the threshold of where a house would need to be lifted. People buying in a flood zone need to be made aware before purchase that they may as well be ready for the possibility of an eventual lift of the entire home. The basement is required to be filled so that the area below the house can drain by gravity with special flood vents. If you weren’t prepared for these expenses, then you’re going to have to make a hard decision. It’s possible to do less work and phase things in over time so you don’t meet the 50 percent threshold, doing part of your master plan now, more in a year or two, etc. But don’t do anything without discussion and agreement with the building official who will be in a position to decide whether the amount of work isn’t exceeding the threshold, and what waiting time must be taken before filing for a permit for the next phase. This isn’t necessarily the “spirit” of the regulation, but some municipalities will work with you to help out so you don’t go broke trying to meet your needs. Understand that safety and survival of an extreme storm condition are still a primary intention of how your home should be designed and approved. Without all this effort, we would all be paying the price to rescue people, paying in taxes over and over. Good luck!

opINIoNS

must confess that the older I get, the more time I spend thinking about all of the crises our country has endured in my lifetime. I was a young boy when America was going through the horrors of World War II. As I progressed from career to career, the nation had to deal with wars in Korea and Vietnam and the tragedy of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. All of these events had one thing in common. The people of America were totally united and determined to fight our enemies. JERRY I think of those challenging KREMER days and contrast them with the nation’s response to the coronavirus disaster. If you look at a national map showing the vaccination rates of the states, it looks almost identical to a political map highlighting the red states and blue states. With a few exceptions, the states populated by a majority of registered Republicans have the lowest rate of vaccinations, in contrast to states dominated by Democrats.

If you look at states like New York, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and New Jersey, the vaccination rates are in the 66 to 70 percent range. Most of the time those states support Democratic candidates over their Republican challengers. In sharp contrast, states such as Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi and Alaska are in the 40 per cent range. All of those states are considered solidly Republican. While crowded hospital intensive-care units are a distant memory for New Yorkers, people are dying in record numbers in red states for the sake of partisan politics. Not a day goes by without a story about some red state governor screaming about vaccine mandates and telling his or her citizens that it is their choice whether to get vaccinated or not for Covid protection. The irony of the state resistance to vaccinations is that all of their schoolchildren have been required to get a series of vaccinations in order to attend their local schools. I contrast the craziness of these grandstanding politicians with stories from across the Atlantic Ocean. Recent

reports from overseas highlight the fact that many of those countries are far ahead of the U.S. in vaccinating their residents. Portugal is a good example, because their vaccination rates tell an interesting story. According to the Wall Street Journal, close to 100 percent of people over age 50 in Portugal have received at least one vaccine dose. For those between ages 25 and 49, the rate is 95 percent. To date, 89 percent of the entire population of 10 million has had at least one dose. And Portugal’s high numbers are surpassed by the United Arab Emirates, which exerts strong control over its residents. The owner of a souvenir shop in Lisbon, Portugal, stated the best case for why our red states should be pushing for their people to be vaccinated. “I need tourists,” said Paula Margues. “Otherwise I have no business.” Places like Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota and Alaska need tourism to keep their economies stable, and they spend millions each year to attract visitors. Instead of pushing for a healthy populace, their leaders spend most of their days battling federal mandates and looking for

artisan bickering over a vaccine will be recorded as a low point in our history.

ways to attract the approval of former President Donald Trump. There is another ironic twist to the red state resistance to vaccinations. Most of the people who are dying of Covid are also their favored voters. While the overall death numbers are small in comparison with the Eastern states, red state governors are allowing their people to suffer needlessly because of government inaction and the numerous false claims of anti-vaccine groups. This is pure government malpractice. I hope that in the not-too-distant future, the coronavirus pandemic will become nothing but a memory. But the partisan bickering over a life-or-death solution will be recorded as one of the bleakest times in the history of our country. Our citizens have every right to stand up for their personal beliefs, but not at the expense of millions of people whose lives were lost because politics got in the way. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

What to do before the winter snow flies

inter is coming, meteorologically, astronomically, politically and “Game of Throne”-y. Let us embrace this brief, bridge season between fall and early winter, when the weather is transitioning and the clouds are gathering. We could exhaust ourselves with political knife fights or try to figure out how our Great American Democracy came to hinge on the advice and consent of a fractious group of legislators, but we have all winter for that. RANDI We still have KREISS November and early December. There is practical stuff to consider during these weeks. I don’t feel like watering my annuals anymore, being lazy and more inclined to let them wither and die, but I feel guilty. How many more days do they have to enjoy their favorite activity, photosynthesis? So although they are ragged and quite pathetic, I douse them once in a while as an end-of-life gesture. It’s pretty much each living thing on

its own. The trees and big bushes had better be hardy enough to withstand a tough winter, because we don’t believe in coddling the plant life with fertilizer or plastic protection from the elements. We do close the windows in our porch and throw covers over the outdoor grill and chairs, but that’s about it in the way of preparation. Come the first cold snap, we’ll turn on the heat. For now, however, on good days the windows are open, and fresh air blows through the house. I feel a certain urgency to get out and do some of the activities I put off because, after all, we had “all summer.” So, come along and cash in on these warmenough days. Head for the boardwalk or the park for a brisk walk; before too long, we’ll be walking against the chilly winds of late November and December. Before too long, we’ll need hats and gloves to venture outside. Get out of town. I like the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where I can walk around the area where my great-grandparents began their life in America. The city beckons, with its pedestrian-friend-

ly districts and communities, and now is the time to go and walk, from the High Line to Battery Park. You can almost pretend that Covid doesn’t exist if you stay outside and dine at food stands. You can almost pretend that “surge” and “spike” and “antivax” aren’t part of the lexicon. In a few weeks, our city streets will become wind tunnels, inhospitable to the daytripper. Another perfect fall destination is the East End, to visit the vineyards and the corn mazes and experience the last perfect days on the beach. The crowds are gone and the restaurants are still open. Or head north a bit and pick apples. When my kids were young, that was probably our favorite fall activity. Recently my husband and I went back to one of the orchards we knew, and it had become overcrowded and commercial. But there are still growers who allow picking, and it’s worth a ride to wander through an orchard, pick a bag or a bushel and head home to make applesauce or cakes and pies. This is the moment. Soon the apples will be done

ash in on these warm-enough days before we break out the hats and gloves.

and it will be too cold to wander anywhere north of Westchester. Back home again, it’s time to plant bulbs for next spring. This is much more than guaranteeing a bit of color next May and June. It feels like an investment in the future, a declaration that come what may in January and February, we know the seasons will turn again, the sun will drift further north and the tulips will bloom. I think of it as an act of faith. In the same way, I spend some of these days preparing soup and packing it away in containers for the cold nights when I may not feel like cooking. Maybe that’s a little bit squirrely of me, storing food away for the hard times, but it feels good to do so. Kids are in school, beach clubs are closed and the days are getting shorter. Still, we have this autumn interlude. With all the tumult in the world, these few days seem like a metaphor for grasping what is good in our lives when we can, because we can. Something about knowing this time is finite propels me out the door and into the ebbing light. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Setting the record straight on county policing

our years ago, as the race for Nassau County executive between then Legislator Laura Curran, a Democrat, and then State Sen. Jack Martins, a Republican, was heating up, the state Republican Party attempted an all-too-common GOP political tactic: It tried to paint Democrats as weak on crime, saying Curran would allow the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 to run wild across the county. The GOP did so in a last-minute mailer that showed three shirtless, tattooed Hispanic men grimacing angrily. The flier, mailed to homes across Nassau, read, “Meet your new neighbors. Laura Curran will roll out the welcome mat for violent gangs like MS-13.” The flier, which was inherently racist, came at a time when fears of MS-13 were running high after young Hispanic men, hacked to death with machetes by the gang, were found buried in the woods in Baldwin, Freeport, Merrick and Massapequa. It was a low blow that played to voters’ basest fears. And it was wrong. Voters saw past the Republicans’ attempt to win by any means possible, electing Curran, and MS-13 never overran Nassau, as predicted. In fact, we’ve heard little of the gang since a series of high-profile arrests of numerous gang leaders. Thankfully, we had had, as of press time Monday, relatively little of such political chicanery. Curran’s opponent this time around, Town of Hempstead Councilman Bruce Blakeman, was laserfocused on lambasting Curran over the county’s property-tax reassessment, and said relatively little about crime. During an endorsement interview with the Herald editorial board leading up to the election, however, Blakeman tried to make it sound as though Nassau was not, in fact, the “safest county in America” two years in a row, as judged by U.S. News & World Report. There had been an explosion of crime during the coronavirus pandemic, he said, that was not factored into the magazine’s rankings. He ticked off a list of recent violent crimes, wondering why they had not garnered greater media attention. That got us thinking: Is Nassau really as safe as the magazine says it is? Curran made public safety a cornerstone of her campaign, and regularly touted the U.S. News assessment. Nassau, we found, is indeed a very safe place to live. We could not undertake the county-by-county assessment that the magazine did. We did, however, look into the crime statistics for 2020 and 2021, Nassau County Police Department precinct by precinct. And, we are pleased to report, crime — particularly violent crime — has

been astonishingly low here the past two years. Nassau’s murder rate was 1.22 per 100,000 people in 2020. The nationwide average was, by comparison, 7.8 per 100,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is not to say there is no violent crime here. This is not the Mayberry of “The Andy Griffith Show.” This is one of the country’s most densely populated counties — with nearly 1.35 million people — outside the largest city in the nation, so we expect to see crime. We cannot dispute the claim, though, that Nassau is either the safest or one of the safest large counties in the country. At press time, we had no idea who would win the county executive’s seat. The Herald endorsed Curran this year, as we did four years ago. Unlike 2017, she had a record to run on this time, and when it came to policing, she made the grade. So, win or lose, we should thank her for her continual support for the men and women

in blue who patrol our streets and keep us safe. Blakeman attempted to link Curran to the movement to defund police. In no way, however, did she ever promote a plan that would reduce funding for our police force. Quite the opposite. Throughout her first four years in office, she touted a singular message: She unequivocally supported the NCPD. At the same time, she was able to win a concession from police, who agreed, finally, to wear body cameras in exchange for an annual stipend. It was an important win for police accountability. We now encourage whoever wins the county executive’s seat to seek greater diversity in the police ranks. The latest class of police cadets to go through the academy this year, while more diverse than past classes, was still largely white. That must change as Nassau’s demographics change. We hope and trust that it will. If it does not, residents must demand reform.

opinions

he United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, began last Sunday and will run through Nov. 12. Participants will include more than 190 government representatives and business leaders who are expected to discuss efforts to ensure that countries and companies live up to climatechange agreements made at the 2015 Paris climate conference. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, now the special presidential envoy for climate change, is ALAn heading the U.S. delegation, which sinGer includes several members of President Biden’s cabinet. Biden, who is also scheduled to attend, reportedly plans to call on nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — a still-devastating number. Long Islanders should pay close attention to this conference, because climate change will likely have a profound effect here, given that it’s causing sea levels to rise, and we live on an island. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has so far been unable to pass its ambitious climate agenda in the Senate. Climate villains include Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and virtually every Republican in the Senate

and House. Manchin’s political career is funded largely by fossil fuel companies, and he owns millions of dollars in coal company stock. He is trying to force the Biden administration to drop renewableenergy subsidies from the federal budget. American corporations often claim they are good environmental citizens. According to Alberto Carrillo Pineda of the Science Based Targets initiative, however, “You can look at a company’s website and see their sustainability report and it will look great, but then when you look at what is behind it, you’ll see there is not a lot of substance behind those commitments, or the commitments are not comprehensive enough.” A recently released report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project highlights how the short-term hunt for profit and market manipulation make U.S. finance one of the world’s biggest climate villains. While countries, including the U.S., are plagued by drought, forest fires and hurricanes because of climate change, the secretive private equity industry has invested more than a trillion dollars during the last decade in fossil-fuel companies. Virtually singlehandedly, the industry keeps some of the worst-polluting oil wells, natural gasleaking towers and coal-burning power plants pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Three of the corporate players high-

apitalists pollute and warm the earth, but socialist countries don’t do much better.

LeTTers East Side Access is a year from completion To the Editor: I recently joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials to take a special Long Island Rail Road test train to Grand Central Terminal, giving the public one of the first looks at the new 350,000-square-foot East Side Access passenger terminal there. This is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years. Together with the LIRR third-track project, the new connection will add 50 percent to the LIRR’s capacity into Manhattan, with up to 24 trains per hour, and cut travel time for Queens and Long Island commuters traveling to the East Side by 40 minutes per day. It will also reduce crowding on commuter rail at Penn Station and on the subway by dispersing commuters and allowing passengers to go directly to Grand Central Ter minal from destinations across Queens and Long Island. The new com-

lighted in the Private Equity Stakeholder Project report are the Blackstone Group, KKR & Co. and the Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital. Blackstone is the world’s largest “alternative” asset manager. While its ClearGen subsidy is committed to promoting “sustainable-energy infrastructure,” Blackstone invests in 25 fossil-fuel companies. Among its recent acquisitions is the pipeline company Tallgrass Energy, which is developing an “oil export terminal in Louisiana that would emit more than 500,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually.” Tallgrass is also responsible for releasing thousands of gallons of oilfield wastewater contaminating North Dakota farmland. And Blackstone is notorious for investing heavily “in polluting plants located in proximity to communities of color.” KKR plans to partner with the renewable energy consulting firm Crossover Energy Partners to develop solar and wind power projects. However, it also partners with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to produce and distribute petroleum products, and is expanding natural-gas fracking projects in Wyoming. Overall, KKR invests in 28 fossilfuel companies. The Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital plans to invest in Amp Solar Group, “a Canadian-based global energy transition platform,” but it is also investing in expanding oil production in Colombia and Ghana. Overall, it

holds assets in 68 fossil-fuel companies. While capitalists pollute the Earth and speed up global warming, nominally socialist countries like China aren’t doing much better, and belong on the climate villains list. China’s leader, Xi Jinping, promises that it will start reducing greenhouse gases by 2030, and will be carbon neutral by 2060. Meantime, it is increasing coal production and the use of coal-fired power plants. The plants receive tax deductions and are greenlighted for bank loans. The list of climate villains must also include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Libya, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, all nations that are expected to attend the Glasgow conference. Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, Aramco, the world’s leading oil producer, recently announced plans to increase its production by at least a million barrels a day by the 2030s. Stateowned oil companies in the other countries are also planning to increase production. The UAE was the first Persian Gulf country to pledge net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meanwhile, it is investing more than $100 billion in new oil and gas projects.
