Chamber of Commerce lights up Christmas season By CRistiNa aRRoyo RoDRiguEz carroyo@liherald.com

The Baldwin Chamber of Commerce kicked off the Christmas season last Sunday with its annual tree lighting at the Baldwin Historical Society, attracting more than 300 people for holiday treats, perfor mances, music and some old-fashioned holiday camaraderie to support the Baldwin business community. “It’s a personalized mind-

set for [residents] to consider saving their neighbor’s job or helping someone in another state,” said Erik Mahler, a chamber board member. He concluded by reiterating the chamber’s slogan: “Save a neighbor’s job — shop local.” Emceed by Baldwinite Debbie Pugliese, the event kicked off with a prayer by the Rev. James Smith of Bethlehem Lutheran Church and the pledge of allegiance by Boy Scout Troop 824. Then Michael Fincken, owner of

New World Music Center, introduced a series of solo acts by Baldwin youth, including Benjamin Mason, Mariel Mercado, Ezinne Ugbala, Kelly Ugbala, Gabriella Morales, Annaya Bomani, Daniel Altschuler, Rose Altschuler and Lauren Rooplall.

Baldwin pastry shop plans first scavenger hunt

BALDWIN HERALD — December 9, 2021

By Karina Kovac kkovac@liherald.com

The Vienna Cookie Company in Baldwin is offering passersby the chance to win a surprise gift on Dec. 11 if they can find three hidden objects in the shop’s window display. The shop, which is a small local hub for Austrian, Czechoslovakia and German residences alike has been in business since 2016. Owner of Vienna Cookie Company Heidi Riegler says patrons don’t just come for the cookies: “A lot of the time people come in memory of their grandma, who’s Austrian and she’d bake them strudel, or they traveled to Vi e n n a and enjoyed the coffee and Shachertorte.” Wa n t i n g t o bridge a bigger connection with the public, Riegler has decorated her storefront like a winter wonderland. She hopes busin e s s e s n e a r by Heidi riegler a l s o d e c o r a t e their storefronts owner with Christmas and holiday decorations to g et downtown Baldwin in a festive spirit. “We have transformed our store windows into a magical winter wonderland with a display of yummy holiday cookies and treats,” Riegler explained. “Our Scavenger Hunt will be a fun event for young and old--Who would not want to win a sweet surprise gift?” she added. The pastry shop specializes in Viennese cookies and cakes, like the Linzer tart, which is their signature cookie, and other classic Austrian desserts, such as Sachertorte, poppy cakes, Gugelhupf and apple strudel. Alexys Ellington is an Assistant Baker at Vienna Cookie Company and went to the Paul Smiths College for Baking Arts and Service Management. Although only at the pastry shop three months, the 22-year-old recent college graduate said she enjoys working there: “It’s really nice environment…Heidi is dedicated; she loves her work.” Riegler came from Austria to American in her mid-20’s in hopes of exploring the world. The Christmas season is an especially fond time for her because it reminds her of cooking with her mother and grandma in Austria when she was younger. She told the Herald, “It’s in our culture to bake--lots of people would cook in Austria, especially in Christmas time.” After moving from California to Baldwin in 2009, she wanted a profession using her hands, so she left directing marketing and communications for the National Academy Museum and School of Fine Arts in New York City to open a pastry shop. She mustered up the recipes she could remembered and contacted her family for more to officially start her business, saying, “It’s all about the recipes, really.”

Below, 22-year-old recent graduate of Paul Smiths College, Alexys Ellington, has a recipe of her own in the shop. Originally, she only baked in the shop for the holiday season, but she had to decide whether baking would become her life. She would say to herself, “Either I do it all the time or stop.” And then in 2016 at a trade show for new products and brands, the New York Times came up to her table and decided to write about her story. Also approaching her booth was Williams-Sonoma, an online retail company that now sells her products on their website. Vienna Cookie Company is located at 782 Merrick Road, west of Grand Avenue and on the south side of the street. The gift shop at is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the holiday season. For more information, visit www.viennacookiecompany.com

Kim Taylor holds final anti-racism quilting By Karina Kovac kkovac@liherald.com

On Dec. 4 the last anti-racism quilt class was held by the Baldwin Public Library with artist Kim Taylor. The threepart series allowed community members of different ages to participate in creating three different quilts that will be completed by Taylor by Dec. 31 and hung up in the library. Railroad through quilts. Starting a collaborat i o n w i t h t h e l i b r a r y f o r a Juneteenth workshop, Taylor was asked to come back and quilt after it became a successful educational program. In this final quilti n g c l a s s f o r teens, the message Taylor wanted to convey was Kim taylor h o w p o w e r f u l artist young voices are in revolutionary movements in the past and today. In addition, she wanted to explain the difference between non-racists and anti-racists. “A non-racist is definitely against racism and understands when they’re seeing racist acts, …but generally they don’t take action against it,” proclaimed Taylor, while “an anti-racist actually does something, and takes action…it’s a way of life rather than just a feeling.” “Being a person that’s older, I’ve seen so much--I saw my parents actively involved,” said Taylor on whether she’s experienced racism firsthand. Throughout her life, 58-year-old Taylor said she’d realized how important teens are in the fight for equality, “In the 60’s in the marches, teens held a huge part and

During the program Taylor also read a book on Claudette Colvin, a 15-year old who was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat to a white woman on a segregated bus nine months before Rosa Parks. Speaking on racism in Baldwin, Taylor said she feels that “Baldwin is a great place to live, but…every place has steps that they need to take…people need to actually do something not just speak out against it.” She urged the public to “continue to be involved, continue to hold the idea of anti-racism in your hearts and take action.” In 2014 Taylor served as the Baldwin Civic Association’s Membership chairperson and two years as vice-president.

News brief Baldwin High School’s Virtual Enterprises kick year off with regional tradeshow Baldwin High School’s Virtual Enterprise teams of students, SuppLI and OneWorld, recently participated in the first regional tradeshow of the year, hosted by Virtual Enterprises International, an educational nonprofit. Students in VE assume leadership roles, such as CEO, create ventures, develop marketing plans and conduct transactions with other simulated businesses around the world. The business course promotes college and career readiness amongst the high school students. Both teams prepared for the trade show through their CEO leadership running demo days, elevator pitch practice and sales brainstorming. This year, OneWorld is run by Co-CEOs, Mateo Marquez and Chloe Cruz, while James Meyers serves as CEO for SuppLI. SuppLI is a simulated subscription box company dedicated to the sale of solely Long Island-based products. Due to its remarkable success over the last few years, the district administration and business department at the high school launched a second VE firm, OneWorld, a growing non-profit merchandise vendor that partners with the charity sector. “I enjoyed meeting different students from other schools and learning about how they use their VE period. It was

stressful at times, but I figured out how to organize the sales rooms and stepped in when I needed to so we wouldn’t lose any potential sales,” said Baldwin High School senior and OneWorld Co-CEO, Chloe Cruz. Using ethically-sourced items, OneWorld assembles and distributes packages to socially-conscious patrons, diverting a portion of virtual revenue to charities of interest. By purchasing OneWorld packages, customers can satisfy their penchant for sustainable, unique items, with the guarantee that they will support socially responsible causes in the process. These packages are tiered between

low-priced “Humble Bundles” and higherpriced “V.I.P – Very Important Philanthropist” options. For example, the environment packages include a donation to National Resources Defense Council, an organization dedicated to every person’s right to clean air, clean water and a healthy community. “I like the experience because it is relatable to how I speak with customers in my part-time job. I want to start my own business, so this is good practice,” added Klevon Davis, who is also a senior at Baldwin High School. The next event for both companies is the National Virtual Tradeshow on Dec. 9.

Vaxmobile makes inaugural visit to Baldwin high Mount Sinai’s Vaxmobile made its inaugural visit to deliver vaccinations for children ages five and older at Baldwin High School on Nov. 29. The event spanned between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. where registered students were attended by medical personnel. Dr. Warren Rosenfeld, Chief of Pediatrics, told the Herald that the Delta variant is ravaging the U.S. more than Omicron. He said, “One of the true few defenses we have is the vaccine—this is one of the great reservoirs of the unprotected populations.” Tens of millions of Americans have been immunized, Dr. Rosenfeld emphasized, and there have no serious or major issues; hence, “each individual shot is for the health of the whole community,” he concluded. The Vaxmobile made visits to other locations in Nassau County, including Freeport High School, Island Park Municipal Building and Hempstead Town Hall for pediatric and adult booster shots.

Performers from the Destined to Dance studio did their best imitation of Radio City Music Hall’s Rockettes in the dance portion of the Baldwin Chamber of Commerce’s annual tree-lighting last Sunday.

Anaya Bomani, a Baldwin High School student, sang “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” in front of a crowd of 300.

Chamber hosts tree-lighting ceremony Continued from front Page Town of Hempstead Employee Federal Credit Union. The children who stood in line shook, not from the 46-degree cold, but from the excitement of the moment. Pat’s Dance Studio performer Willow Page, 8, said it was her first time attending this event, noting that it was exactly what she expected — a great, big party — and concluding with, “I like it because there is a lot of free stuff.” The cold that caught some by surprise was remedied by free hot cocoa from At Your Service Catering, served by the Baldwin High School Key Club. The kids, and adults, also filled their tummies with candy canes, doughnuts and cookies donated by GalaFresh Farms, The Hangout One Happy Place and Baldwin Fire Department. Now satisfied with presents and treats, the children were treated to a lively performance directed by Erica Edmonds from Destined to Dance studio. The dancers kept the crowd guessing with urban dance moves crossed with Rockette-style high leg kicks. And then it was time to light the evergreen tree that stands tall next to the Baldwin Historical Association. Children watched from atop the Baldwin’s Fire Department old-time fire truck and from the saddles of a couple of ponies that rode in circles in a roped-off section thanks to Ridgewood Savings Bank. Sister and brother Anna, 6, and Jack, 4, stood by the ponies with their dad, Craig Yanantuono, a Baldwin firefighter. While Jack was still breathing heavy with excitement from his pony ride, Anna decided against a ride of her own, saying, “I don’t know…It’s a bit too high.” Nassau County Legislator Debra Mule and State Assemblyperson Judy Griffin also attended and shared a message of holiday unity and giving with the Baldwin community. And while Town Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby was unable to attend, she texted a message of hope to people, as well. The Baldwin High School Chamber Singers followed with performances,

including of “Star of Bethlehem,” directed by Kristine Costello, as the sky turned from light blue to shades of purple, pink, orange and navy. Chamber sing ers Brianna McLeod, 16, Noelle Nikovics, 17, and Giselle Carlo, 16, expressed the importance of bringing hope back because last year they didn’t feel the Christmas spirit because of the coronavirus pandemic. The night’s final event was a series of performances by Pat’s Dance Studio. Children of all ages danced to Christmas-themed music while tossing rolled-up T-shirts to the crowd, shirt-cannon style, ending it all with a patriotic dance inspired by the Broadway musical “Hamilton.” By the end, it was dark, and as the crowd dispersed, families, couples and friends took a bit of Baldwin back with them back to their homes the next block, next town or next county over.

above, a wellknown man in a red suit was quite popular, as always. luCy Cain, 7, left, enjoyed a pony ride, which was sponsored by various Baldwin businesses.

righT To lefT, second gentleman Douglas Emhoff, Senator Chuck Schumer, and Dr. Aaron Glatt watch as the fourth candle on the menorah was lit last Wednesday with President Biden, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and Vice President Harris present in the background.

Mount Sinai doctor lights White House menorah By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

Last Wednesday evening, Dr. Aaron Glatt, chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside, helped light the fourth candle of the Hanukkah menorah at the White House as thanks and recognition for his work during the coronavirus pandemic. Glatt got the call from the president’s liaison to the Jewish People, Chanan Weissman, extending the invitation on Thanksgiving. During a private meeting with the Biden and Kamala Harris and their spouses, Glatt blessed Biden, who put his arm around the doctor, who is also a rabbi, and thanked him for the honor. During the ceremony, Biden lauded Glatt as a “champion of encouraging his congregants in his community to get vaccinated.” Glatt serves as an associate rabbi at Young Israel of Woodmere and lives in the community with his wife of 41 years. “The torah tells us that we’re obligated to try and protect all people and keep ourselves as well as our society healthy,” Glatt said. “This is why the message to try and do proper public health actions is such an important message from a religious point of view.” Despite the personal praise from the president, Glatt said that his being there was about thanking health-care workers across the country for risking their own health during this long pandemic. He also spoke about how his faith, which

was lifted up at the White House, has guided him during the past two years. “I don’t think I would be able to get through [the pandemic] without faith,” Glatt told the Herald. “Faith is a wonderful way for people to deal with these types of tragedies, knowing that there is a God and a greater purpose in life. We’re here to try to make things better for all mankind.” Glatt also said the event served as an important moment of visibility for Judaism in the country, as anti-Semitic crimes rise. According to an October report from the American Jewish Committee, one in four American Jews say they have been targets of anti-Semitism and four in 10 say they have changed their behavior out of fear. Sharing the stage with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and the country’s first second gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish, Glatt said he was full of patriotism and gratitude for living in America. “Coming from a background where both of my parents were Holocaust survivors and their families were wiped out by cruel governments, living in the United States is the polar opposite, and it’s something we should celebrate and thank God for,” Glatt said. Glatt has chaired the Department of Medicine since 2015 and has been a board-certified physician in infectious diseases for the past 33 years. Previously, Glatt was the executive vice president and chief administrative officer at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre and president and CEO at St. Joseph Hospital in Bethpage.

has not been contacted about the vandalism, and because there is an ongoing investigation into it, a district representative could not comment on it. Superintendent Dr. Shari Camhi and the Board of Educaton shared a letter with the community on Dec. 2, citing the social stress of the pandemic and the high expectations of students, before cautioning about the spread of misinformation online: “Please remember that everything you read or see online is not always true.” It was a message that was also addressed at recent school board meetings. Once abreast of the situation, Baldwin Civic Association President Darien Ward published a statement on social media, stating, “We, as a community, agree violence and destruction of property is no

way to solve disputes.” And from the group’s own information gathered, it attributes the vandalism to a seeming “youthful indiscretion.” Likewise, new chamber President Franky Jorge told the Herald that the chamber “always condemns any form of vandalism.” He also said the group was not aware of an uptick in vandalism at Baldwin businesses recently, and that the protocol is to call Sanitation District No. 2 quickly in instances of graffiti. In 2019, Sanitation No. 2 workers teamed up with the chamber to remove 23 graffiti scrawlings around Baldwin, South Hempstead and Roosevelt. A sanitation district representative said there had not been an increase in graffiti incidents in recent weeks and months.

The perpeTraTors arrived and drove off in a white fourdoor sedan. poliCe ColleCTed a video captured by the surveillance camera at the business, which shows an individual spray-painting the front of Mahler’s office and another recording or taking photos with his phone.

Q. We moved into our house with a sloping backyard knowing we’d have to level it out. We found a guy who specializes in stack block walls on the internet, and saw pictures of his work, and are satisfied that he can do the job. He recommended calling an engineer or architect, which we did. That’s when we learned that the harder part of this is all the months we’re waiting for permits to make our backyard useful for our kids to play in. We couldn’t have imagined it was this complicated. Our neighbors don’t seem to mind that we’re going to do it, even saying that it should’ve been done long ago. Are we missing something here? Should we have just built this and waited to see if anyone even cared?

Hewlett Harbor

Spectacular Waterfront Estate

itting on 1.76 acres, this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced, with views of the water at every turn. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is a sight to be seen. The master bedroom has limitless views of the water, an enormous walk in closet and spa like bath. From the den to the formal dining room and the library, every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. The detached guest house with a pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. A waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your question is asked every day. Even officials, who would answer that you’re absolutely doing the right thing to get plans and permits, answer that they’re just doing their job, possibly intimating that they might agree with you. Truthfully, you are doing the right thing. Not just because of the paperwork, stages of review — includonte eeper ing a zoning variance — but because raising your property means high fences viewed from the bottom of the walls. Neighbors have complained, saying they’re looking up at the “Wall of China,” and municipalities reacted. Safety is why the process is worthwhile. A stacked block wall, done incorrectly, can give way, with costly — or deadly — consequences. I was once called to look at a predicament where someone using no formulas, no instructions (apparently) and no common sense built a chest-high wall, which began to drift and lean in the first rainstorm. It violated the laws of nature in that it did not have the ability to resist the hidden or plain-sight conditions. Yes, there are formulas, charts and tables developed for holding back land masses, just as there are formulas for designing columns and beams. In my experience, the less you know, the happier you are at the beginning of the process. The more you learn from what went wrong, especially after it goes terribly wrong, the worse off you’ll be. Well, it wasn’t even the leaning wall that was the biggest part of the problem. It was the fact that a few feet from the not-so-correctly built wall was a swimming pool made of gunnite. Gunnite is concrete that has been sprayed in layers onto a heavy mesh of woven reinforcing rods. It’s one of the strongest types of construction, so strong that it was used to form the hulls of PT boats in World War II to resist torpedoes. So when the landscaped wall drifted and leaned, the strongest kind of pool built began to twist like a pretzel. It wasn’t the wall that was the biggest problem; it was how to stabilize and stop the twisty pool from breaking apart. Hang in there. Fences and walls, not permits, are the bigger problem to solve, safely. Good luck!

to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

n the wake of his announcement that he is entering the Democratic primary for governor, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi faces a pretty daunting obstacle: New York City Democrats. The city’s Democratic voter base, and the political bosses who select their primary candidates, mock anyone beyond the five boroughs. They know their statewide candidates will need Long Island votes in the general election, but that doesn’t mean they want a Long Islander leading the ticket. Think RoNALD J. of neighboring as deadly RoSENBERG Gotham kryptonite that destroys the aspirations of every suburban Democrat who wants a shot at running statewide. We already know the roster of Long Island politicians whose statewide campaigns died at the Queens line. Kathleen Rice and Steve Levy come immediately to mind, but there are others. In the 1960s, the highly respected Nassau Coun-

ty Executive Eugene Nickerson couldn’t win the Democratic primary for Senate, despite the backing of none other than Robert F. Kennedy. Huntington Town Supervisor Jerome Ambro took on Basil Paterson for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1970. Ambro promptly lost that contest to Patterson. And Tom Suozzi knows what it’s like to run and lose a statewide primary race. In 2006, he ran against Eliot Spitzer for the Democratic nomination for governor. He quickly lost to the Manhattan-based Spitzer (although Spitzer may still wonder what his life might have been like had he lost and then quietly repaired to the family business of making millions in real estate). So why is it that Suozzi believes that this time is the charm? For starters, the Democratic Party is unrecognizable. There are more left-leaning city Democratic power players than Politburo members in Red Square on May Day. And that’s the least of it. Consider a New York Post report that

revealed how a Bronx-based congressman, Jamaal Bowman, “is facing the fury of the Democratic Socialists of America, who have accused him of betrayal for visiting Israel and meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.” That action alone reveals that Suozzi’s Democratic Party has a cancer eating away at its soul. Suozzi’s primary strategy is to position himself as a centrist in a race that will compel Democrats to choose among the progressive, the progressive lite and the still to be politically defined gubernatorial incumbent. Suozzi will have the advantage of fundraising among deep-pocketed New York City business leaders who have the right to fear a state lurching left. They have been desperately looking for a “common-sense” Democrat whom they can support, so it is no accident that the phrase “common-sense candidate” is now Suozzi’s adopted slogan. While Suozzi and his primary competitors seek to position themselves for a win, they need to recognize that a primary victory is not an anointment to be gov-

ew York City has often proved poisonous for suburban Democrats.

ernor. As this past Election Day revealed, there is a quiet but seething anger among voters who rightly view the progressive/socialist agenda, such as “bail reform,” as destructive to their quality of life and core values. In a state reputed to be deeply blue, there is every reason to believe that a Republican gubernatorial candidate could win by tapping into the anger, and not a little bit of fear of where New York might be heading. Much the way the Red Wave on Election Night 2021 sent a strong message that voters are not going to follow a progressive manifesto, Republican Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin could easily upset the pundits and assume office as the next governor of New York. If so, it would be nothing less than ironic if those Long Island Democrats who aspired to be governor but were blocked by New York City progressives got to attend the gubernatorial inauguration of a fellow Long Islander who ran on the Republican line. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Hoping for the gift of life in this season of giving

e was 49 years old in March, and he hopes to celebrate his 50th birthday next year. Anyone would wish the same, but Scott Englander, a Woodmere resident, faces an uncertain future. According to his mother, Arlene, after a catastrophic bacterial infection left him in a coma more than six years ago, Scott suffered both heart and kidney failure. His heart stabilized, but his kidney function continued to decline until he was forced to begin RANDI regular dialysis KREISS recently. He is being treated at the Julia and Israel Waldbaum Davida Dialysis facility in Great Neck, where he undergoes dialysis three times a week, for four and a half hours at a time. It is a grueling routine that leaves him exhausted. The only way off dialysis, however, is to get a kidney transplant. The family is hopes for a living donor, someone who finds it within him or herself to promise Scott another birthday, and another one after that. We have all read stories of selfless individuals who know they can live normally with one

kidney and are willing to come forward in an exceptional act of generosity. If you or someone you know would like more information about this process, please email scottneedsakidney@ gmail.com. I have known Arlene and Richard Englander for more than 50 years. We hadn’t connected in a long time when Arlene reached out, hoping to increase Scott’s chances of finding a kidney donor. They had already tried Zoom megacalls and bulk mailings and emails. Maybe, they thought, someone will read this and consider giving this gift of life. Perhaps the word will pass through our communities and someone will step forward. For the recipient, according to the National Kidney Transplant Foundation, “Your health and energy should improve. In fact, a successful kidney transplant may allow you to live the kind of life you were living before you got kidney disease. Studies show that people with kidney transplants live longer than those who remain on dialysis.” Unrelated individuals who make a good match may be able to donate one of their kidneys, in a living transplant. If a donor and recipient are incompatible,

there are “kidney swaps,” in which donors can provide kidneys to compatible recipients in exchange for a compatible donation to their intended recipient. Advances in kidney transplant have made it possible to do the surgeries laparoscopically, which leads to much shorter recovery times. Potential donors are carefully screened, and supported physically and emotionally. According to the Kidney Project at the University of California, San Francisco, some 100,000 patients in the United States are on the kidney transplant list, and the need for donor kidneys is rising 8 percent per year. The wait times for an organ vary from state to state. Fortunately, most insurance covers the expenses for both transplant donors and recipients. Many charitable groups offer travel and work compensation for donors. It is, of course, illegal to buy or sell human organs or tissue in the U.S. According to the Mayo Clinic, the hospital stay for most kidney donors is one or two days. Its website states, “After kidney donation, most people are able to return to normal daily activities after two to four weeks. You may be advised to avoid contact sports or other strenuous activities that may cause kidney dam-

age.” In the U.S., more than 6,000 livingorgan donations are completed each year. Living-kidney donation is the most common type of living-donor transplant. People can donate one of their two kidneys, and the remaining kidney is able to perform the necessary functions. For the recipient, receiving a kidney from a living donor is successful more than 98 percent of the time, according to the Mayo Clinic. If the kidney comes from a deceased donor, the success rate is 93 percent. Ongoing treatment tethered to dialysis is a difficult alternative. Scott Englander and his family are hoping for a living donor. He would like to go back to his work as a chiropractor and his life with his family. His roots in the community run deep: He went to the Number Six School, Lawrence Middle School, Lawrence High School, SUNY Albany and Life University in Georgia. Scott has been on the transplant list at the Northwell Health Transplant Center for two and a half years, his mother says. She says the expectation is a wait of some five to eight years to get a deceased person’s kidney. A living donor could come forward at any time. In a note to me this week, Scott said that he hopes for a kidney so that he may live long enough to see his children grow up. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Now, not later, is time to push for SALT reform

he Herald has editorialized a halfdozen times on Long Island’s desperate need to restore the federal income-tax deduction for state and local taxes, which the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, passed under President Donald Trump, limited to $10,000, costing many middle-class families here thousands of dollars annually. Now, it appears, we are on the brink of overturning the measure. Sustained political pressure is needed to see the elimination of the $10,000 SALT cap through to the finish line. That’s why we are encouraging readers to write to U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both Democrats, to ensure that the proposal passes in the Senate when it is brought up for an upcoming vote. There is a false impression that the SALT deduction affords an unfair tax advantage only to the rich, a refrain repeated by conservative pundits across the nation. For decades, however, the deduction provided vital federal tax relief to middle-class families on Long Island and many other parts of the country. Many conservatives argue that any family earning above $100,000 per year is affluent, even rich. And, they say, most of the people taking the SALT deduction — 98 percent — have a household income above that figure, with 80 percent earning between $100,000 and $200,000 and 18 percent above $200,000. Meanwhile, the average family income nationwide is $67,000 a year, according to census data. That argument, however, does not account for regional cost differences — in

letters Ida relief deadline extended to January To the Editor: The deadline for applications for the Hurricane Ida Relief Fund will be extended until Jan. 4 to provide aid to excluded survivors of the storm and flooding caused by its remnants. New Yorkers who are ineligible to receive storm recovery help through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Individual Assistance Program or other means can apply for funding that is being distributed through an established network of community organizations. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, my office has been fully committed to helping all New Yorkers recover from this devastating storm. With this extension to apply for resources, New Yorkers who are ineligible for FEMA relief and community organizations on the ground can now gather all the necessary information to apply for the funds that they need to rebuild.

particular, high property taxes in places like Long Island. It focuses only on income. Long Island is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. The median household income here, $116,000, would buy a whole lot in a state like Mississippi, where the median household income is about $42,000; or New Mexico, where it’s $46,300; or Idaho, where it’s $48,600. On Long Island, however, $116,000 is not rich. It’s middle class. So, while the SALT deduction has undoubtedly helped the wealthy, it has aided the middle class in high-cost regions like ours, and that is why it must be restored. The House of Representatives, led by Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from Glen Cove, recently passed SALT reform as part of the $2 trillion Build Back Better bill. Bravo! The legislation, if passed by the Senate, would smartly cap the deduction at $80,000, allowing middle-class families in states like New York and California to take advantage of the federal deduction, but still limiting it to prevent the truly wealthy from benefiting disproportionately. According to Suozzi, passage of SALT reform in the Senate would bring immediate tax relief to some 3.4 million New York taxpayers, including nearly 367,000 in Nassau alone. That would return dollars to our local economy, where they belong. Since enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act four years ago, New York has paid $12 billion more in federal taxes — money that has gone to states like Kentucky, home to Senate Minority Leader

Mitch McConnell, a Republican who led the charge alongside Trump to pass the act. The recent reform package passed in the House would raise the SALT deduction cap for nine years, through 2030. That seems fair. New Yorkers would have time to plan for its sunset. The legislation passed by Trump, on the other hand, caught many flatfooted, requiring desperate measures of them, including taking out loans just to pay their federal income taxes. The $80,000 cap would take effect on people’s 2021 federal tax bills, providing them nearly immediate relief — which would be vital, given the economic hardships that many households have been forced to endure because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Lest any U.S. senator believe that the desire to restore the SALT deduction is confined to states like New York and California, he or she need only look to recent comments by Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, to understand that the sentiment is shared by many elected leaders and taxpayers nationwide. “On behalf of the nation’s mayors,” Cochran said, “I want to commend Congressman Suozzi for his hard work on this issue. He never stopped fighting to restore the state and local taxes [deduction] for middle-income families in all states.” Indeed. We mustn’t believe for a second, however, that the measure will pass in the Senate until it has. That is why we need everyone’s voice speaking out on this critical issue.

n the wake of Democrats’ November election debacle, they are looking for who or what to blame. The initial targets are critical race theory, “wokeness,” and congressional progressives known as “the Squad,” in particular Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If Democrats accept the narrative that swing voters rejected “extremism,” they are doomed to lose big in 2022 and 2024. Leading Republicans have not shied away from extremism. In fact, they have embraced it. When Arizona Rep. Paul ALAn Gosar tweeted animated videos sinGer showing him killing Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with a sword, Republicans in Congress overwhelmingly voted against censuring him. They blame Biden for the recent spike in Covid-19 cases, while they actively campaign against mandatory vaccination and masking. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is promoting right-wing “replacement theories” that were behind the 2017 neoNazi rally in Charlottesville, Va. On Fox News, Gingrich accused leftists of trying to drown out “classic Americans” and replace them with people who know nothing of the country’s history and traditions because they want to “get rid of the rest of us.” Fox’s Tucker Carlson repeated Gingrich’s claims, accusing Democrats of

trying to “change the racial mix of the country” so they can “reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived here.” Meanwhile, the Republican rank-andfile have disrupted local school board meetings, denouncing school curricula, library books and efforts to combat the pandemic. The New York Times reported a “disturbing spike in threats against school board officials” and “hundreds of intimidating messages to election officials in at least a dozen states.” The Democrats lost this year, however, because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda that would have provided an alternative narrative to GOP talking points; internal bickering that undermined legislative initiatives and made them appear incompetent; and deep-seated white racism that allowed the argument that critical race theory is invading our schools to take hold. In Kenosha, Wis., a largely white jury acquitted a 17-year-old white man who brought an assault rifle to a Black Lives Matter rally and killed two of the protesters because he thought he was defending himself from attack by his unarmed victims. That decision had nothing to do with critical race theory or leftwing “wokeness” and everything to do with white fear of Blacks. It was celebrated by white vigilante groups as justification for their behavior, and Kyle Rittenhouse was proclaimed a Second Amendment hero by

hey lost this year because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda.

Letters The extension bolsters the state’s commitment to support nonprofit organizations in a joint effort to distribute assistance to those who need to apply for it. As of Nov. 30, more than 1,800 people had reached out about this program, and of these initial contacts, 403 households had submitted applications, and 507 households had qualified for FEMA funds and have since been referred there. To date, 54 households have received $228,376. An additional 31 households have approved applications and are pending payment. In Nassau County, the contact point is the Economic Opportunity Commission, at 134 Jackson St. in Hempstead.

and I was honored to do so. The message from Rabbi Michael Cohen, of Central Synagogue, the Rev. Scott Ressman, of the United Church of Rockville Centre, Mayor Francis X. Murray and the organizers was clear: Hate has no home here — not now, not ever! One lesson of the 20th century is that the political ideology of the Proud Boys ends in the concentration camp. I was thus disheartened not to see the Diocese of Rockville Centre bishop or more representatives of Christian churches lend their voices to the demonstration. I consider this a serious abdication of their moral duty.

conservative politicians and right-wing news outlets. On CNN, the recently fired Chris Cuomo interviewed comedian and commentator Bill Maher about a supposed leftwing peril threatening the U.S., feeding him a series of softball questions. After acknowledging that “I’m not in schools” and “I have no interaction with children,” Maher said he had heard from people across the country that “kids are sometimes separated into groups, oppressor and oppressed” and are being taught that “racism is the essence of America.” He derided this practice as “just silly; it’s just virtue-signaling,” and accused people advocating for curriculum revision of being “afraid to acknowledge progress,” a psychological disorder he labeled “progressophobia.” I kept waiting for Cuomo to ask Maher for an example — any example — to support his claims, but Cuomo never did, and Maher never felt compelled to offer any evidence. On his HBO show, Maher promotes a group of contrarians who want to start their own college, where they will be free to present offensive ideas and dismiss objections without having to provide supporting evidence or answer to anyone. Cuomo never asked Maher about that, either. The more serious problems for Democrats and progressives worldwide are new surges of the coronavirus that have led to closings, supply-chain disruptions and

inflation spikes, as well as counterattacks on climate-change initiatives. In Europe, protests against newly imposed Covid-19 restrictions turned into riots in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands, and in Germany they boosted the right-wing vote. This has nothing to do with teaching critical race theory in American schools and everything to do with international right-wing fear-mongering and mobilization. The other real problem is denial of the impending climate catastrophe, and efforts to block restrictions on the production and use of fossil fuels. Global leaders sang Kumbaya after the Glasgow Climate Change Conference and then went home, where they will implement inadequate or phantom measures. Wealthy GOP and fossil-fuel industry donors in the U.S. are pouring money into the re-election campaign accounts of nominally Democratic senators Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, to influence them to stand firm against cleanenergy initiatives. Again, this has nothing to do with “wokeness” or the fictional claim that children are being indoctrinated into critical race theory in American schools.
