Elmont community rallies for aid in Haiti

By REI WolFSoHN

Correspondent

Skye Margies/ Herald

Community members gathered for a rally and march to advocate for immediate increased international aid in Haiti, as gang violence has caused chaos in the country. David Duchatellier, rally organizer from Haiti Relief Effort, called out that “Haiti cannot wait” any longer as killings, kidnappings and violence run rampant in the country.

Rally attendees in Elmont supporting international intervention in Haiti want to stop increased gang violence that plagues the island nation.

Last month, in a speech to the United Nations, President Joe Biden said, “Haiti cannot wait.” David Duchatellier, rally organizer for Haiti Relief Effort, used those words as a rally cry in Elmont on Oct. 21 in French, “Haiti ne peut plus attendre.”

The rally advocated for immediate international intervention in Haiti.

Approximately 75 community members attended the rally, which started at the intersection of Dutch ContinuED on pagE 2

Hockey tournament raises $171K for underprivileged youth

By NIColE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com

Ef for ts are underway to break down bar riers for underprivileged or minority youth wishing to play hockey, thanks to the nonprofit 43 Oak Foundation, the Islanders and UBS. Since hockey is a spor t where athletes are predominantly white and come from a middle- to upper-class background, Sean Grevy, founder of 43 Oak Foundation, said that growing up in Philadelphia, he faced barriers playing hockey as his parents lacked the financial means to fund his athletic endeavors.

Activists march for intervention in Haiti Broadway and Corona Avenue in Valley Stream and concluded at the Dutch Broadway Sports Complex in Elmont.

“We’re asking the international community for an intervention, because of the high level of violence, killings, kidnappings, gang violence and violence against women,” said Carrié Solages, county legislator.

As of October, the United Nations Human Rights Watch reported that gang violence in Haiti has resulted in more than 5,500 cases of gang violence, more than 3,100 killings and more than 1,200 kidnappings. Solages said there have been more than 1,400 acts of violence against women. The killings include 247 women and 78 children.

According to United Nations Human Rights Watch, over one-third of the population, 4.4 million people, lack access to clean water and two-thirds have limited or no sanitations service. More than onethird of Haitians live with food insecurity.

Over 217,000 children suffer from malnutrition.

“It’s a complete unstable political, social and economic condition right now,” Solages said.

Children in Haiti have to wait for the streets to calm down in order to go to school, and pray that it is safe when it is time to go home. Seniors who are building or have built their retirement homes in Haiti have seen the money they sent down there to build disappear. Others have had

Louis August listened on as Mimi Pierre Johnson voiced her concerns over conditions in Haiti during a rally on Oct. 21 that marched from Valley Stream to Elmont. Carrié Solages, county legislator, joined community members to raise awareness for the country’s crisis. gangs take over their homes.

“The gangs have more guns than the police in Haiti, as we speak,” Solages said.

According to PBS, as of July, gangs control about half of the country’s territory and most of the capital of Port-auPrince. Gangs have locked children in schools where they can’t get food. All of this has caused droves of Haitians to seek asylum in the United States.

Meanwhile, a vigilante movement

called “Bwa Kale” has taken to stoning and burning suspected gang members in the streets.

Duchatellier said his group brought medical aid to a Haitian school annually, but the violence forced the visits to stop in 2019. He was also directly affected by the violence in Haiti. Gangs burned down his uncle’s house in Port-au-Prince in September.

Many people at the rally have a person-

al connection to Haiti — whether it’s their own history or ties to relatives who still live there.

Since Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated in July 2021, the country’s prime minister has served as an acting president. Solages said the violence and instability in Haiti could affect the United States.

According to Solages, there are a few types of intervention Haitian-Americans would like to see in the country. These include monetary tools and policies, because the United States has controlled the Bank of Haiti since the 19th century.

Intervention is on the way thanks to the recent United Nations vote that sent multinational forces led by Kenya into Haiti to combat the gang violence.

Duchatellier encouraged people to write to and call their representatives, because that will get the message closer to the United States president.

“They can do something,” Duchatellier said. “We are so many Haitians over here.

We would like to go and visit Haiti.”

Duchatellier hopes the rally will bring more awareness to the problems and more motivation for the United States or United Nations to intervene. Despite the bad weather for the rally, he hasn’t lost hope.

“The weather didn’t cooperate today,” Duchatellier said. “We could have had more people. But we’re going to keep trying.”

Breast cancer walk memorializes Elmont activist

By NICOLE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com

As breast cancer awareness month comes to a close, the community gathered to raise awareness at the second annual walk and commemorated former Elmont school board member and local public health activist Dr. Elsy MecklembourgGuibert.

Mecklembourg-Guibert died at age 68 of the rare degenerative CreutzfeldtJakob disease in October 2022. The disease kills one in every million people each year and there is no treatment or cure.

She was born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and was the first Haitian-American elected official in Nassau when she joined the Elmont school board in 2005. Her nonprofit organization EMG Health Communications helped people access proper health care since it was founded in 1997.

The organization hosted a breast cancer awareness event on an annual basis every October that focused on early prevention.

Michaelle Solages, assembly member, said that the group helped form conversations around breast cancer screenings, mammograms and making sure that women, especially women of color, had access to theses methods of early prevention.

“We named the walk after her because we just wanted to send the message to the community that, although she’s not here, her work still continues,” Solages said.

Community members gathered at Valley Stream State Park to participate in the walk on Oct. 22. After the walk, they were able to get information about breast cancer prevention and resources available to them.

“We want to make sure that women have access to early screening and know that there’s a system and network (to help them),” said Solages. “Even for those who have been through breast cancer and have survived and became warriors.”

Throughout 2023, the American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 298,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. That amounts to 119.2 cancers in every 100,000 women.

According to the state’s health department, there has been an average of 1,325 breast cancer cases per year in Nassau County between 2016 and 2020. This statistic amounts to 145.9 cases in every 100,000 women. The increased incidence across Long Island has been well documented

Michaelle Solages, assemblymember, and Selene Ferdinand, Miss New York Preteen from Elmont, 10, kicked off the Dr. Elsy Mecklembourg-Guibert Memorial Breast Cancer Walk on Oct. 22 at Valley Stream State Park.

It wasn’t only people who came out to show their support for breast cancer survivors at Valley Stream State Park on Oct. 22, as Barbra Bowen of Valley Stream was joined by her dog Jaya and Angela Ruisi of Valley Stream was joined by her dog Mocha.

since 2005 in a study known as the Long Island Breast Cancer Study Project.

While there are many risk factors for breast cancer that cannot be modified — such as race, age and family history — there are some preventative measures people can take to reduce risk. Through maintaining a healthy weight, getting enough exercise, eating a healthy diet and avoiding or limiting alcohol intake, people can mitigate their breast cancer risk.

Early detection is one way that people can identify developing cancer, which can lead to better prognosis and survival.

This requires that patients adopt a screening schedule that works for them.

Women who have dense breast tissue qualify for supplemental breast screening ultrasounds, which can help pick up cancers that might be missed on a mammogram. Per state law, women who are found to have dense breasts on their mammograms must be notified.

Cindy Cen, a breast surgical oncologist at Northwell Health, tells her patients that all average-risk women over 40 should start yearly mammograms. Exceptions to this guideline would apply to women with a family history of breast cancer that occurred before 50 years old or those with any prior history of radia-

tumor and a margin of surrounding tissue in the breast, whereas a mastectomy removes the entire breast.

As for the field of medical oncology, there are advances being made all the time in terms of chemotherapy and immunotherapy options. Cen said that testing helps medical professionals decide which patients would most benefit from chemotherapy, while also identifying patients with the lowest risk and sparing them from needing chemotherapy.

Phillip Merced, Joseph Merced, Assemblymember Michaelle Solages, Dennis Merced and Jasmin Merced all joined the community members to raise awareness at a breast cancer walk in Valley Stream on Oct. 22. The Merceds walked to show support for a family member who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. tion to their chest.

“We spend a lot of time talking about breast cancer awareness in October only,” Cen said. “But my hope is that the discussion persists year-round so that all women are informed about their risks and getting their mammograms done.”

Treatment for breast cancer has seen a general trend toward less invasive surgeries — Cen said that there have been more lumpectomies performed than mastectomies. A lumpectomy removes only the

Silverstein has been involved with the organization since he was 18 years old. He participated as a mentor in the pro g ram, helping under privile ged families from Harlem through the sport. He resonated with Grevy’s story right away.

“Even though we didn’t live similar childhoods, I could tell he had a real passion for what we were doing,” Silverstein said.

A lot of the families that are being helped are first-generation hockey families, and Silverstein said that the foundation assists them in figuring out the best path through the sport to educational success.

“You never know where that could take you,” Silverstein said. “You never know if otherwise you might not have even wanted to go to college, little things like that.”

Around 30 young athletes who participate in the 43 Oak clinics took to the ice after the game. Since the nonprofit was founded, Toskos said the program has expanded to help more than 70 athletes across the country.

High-level ice hockey tuition can cost $10,000 a year, Toskos said. The money raised by 43 Oak Foundation not only pays for that tuition, but also helps pay for travel expenses when players go to away games.

The goal of the project is to help the involved athletes get into colle ge through a hockey scholarship.

“Our goal, our focus is really to create a network of like-minded and similarly-situated individuals and families that can kind of rely on each other,” Sky Silverstein, the foundation’s executive director, said.

Beyond the athletic side of the program, student athletes lear n skills through mentoring sessions every other month with UBS and the Islanders. Students have lear ned how to write resumes, interview skills, leadership skills and more.

“We mix and match some hockey, but also some life skills to try to help,” Toskos said.

Protecting Your Future with Michael and Suzanne Ettinger Attorneys-at-Law

Book Review: “Outlive”

by Peter Attia, MD (Part Two)

Whereas Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases were, until recently, thought to be unpreventable, that is no longer true. While quality of sleep and nutrition play a role in preventing cognitive decline, nothing compares to exercise – both strength training and aerobic exercise – which reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and increase vascular function. Regular exercisers also live as much as a decade longer than sedentary people.

As the author states, “This is our objective: to delay death, and to get the most out of our extra years. The rest of our lives becomes a time to relish rather than to dread.” It is not an easy read but with the healthy prescriptions provided in a range of areas, it is a worthwhile addition to the ever burgeoning literature on life extension. As Muhammad Ali said “I never won a fight in the ring; I always won in preparation.”

In his book, Dr. Attia describes the tactics necessary for the “compression of morbidity” – meaning shrinking the period of decline at the end of life and increasing the length of healthy life. To live longer without disease rather than simply extending the duration of disease.

Centuries of observations have shown that simply eating less extends life and prevents the onset of disease. As the old saying goes, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and supper like a pauper.” Similarly, the powerful adverse effects of poor sleep on metabolism and cognitive ability are fleshed out, including tips on sleeping better.

Tips for avoiding cardiovascular disease, including a review of the current cholesterol lowering medications, is provided. Cancer is analyzed for how it works in the body and the current as well as promising future therapies, while advocating for the best cancer treatment of all – “early detection.”

The glowing 2022 campaign for Carey’s girls’ soccer team has been topped by this year’s version.

Carey, under third-year coach Chris Posillico, is continuing the renaissance in 2023.

Before last season’s playoff berth, Carey’s program had struggled. Its 11-1 record last season vaulted the Seahawks into the playoffs for the first time in over 10 years.

Now Carey has done one better. The Franklin Square school posted a 12-1-1 record and clinched the Conference 4 championship by winning the regular-season finale, 3-0, over Hewlett on Oct. 19.

The Seahawks had outscored its opponents, 37-3, and hosted its first playoff game in more than 20 years. That came last Saturday when Carey took care of business in shutting out Great Neck South, 3-0, to move onto the second round.

Posillico thought the team could match last season’s success but not like this. “I definitely was looking for this to be a good year,’’ Posillico said. “I didn’t know it would go as well as it did.’’

The aesthetically pleasing style has Posillico most proud. He’s anti-British when it comes to soccer tactics. He’s all about short passes to attain the attack.

“We do a lot of practicing and I’ve s never once done a drill where we’ve done a long ball,’’ Posillico said. “Our stats will show a team with 70 passes and we’ll have 400 to 500. My girls, they know where each other is and pass the ball. They play a lot of give-and-go. We’re finding each other.’’

Along with the 35-goal differential has come 11 shutouts. The prominent backline features captain Gabriella Jacob, Krista Devito and freshman anchor, Amelia Kalamaris, who plays more of a midfield role and scored a playoff goal against Great Neck South. “She’s a phenomenal player,’’ Posillico said. “Her statistics aren’t flashy. It’s not a flashy position. She’s involved in every play, goes end to end. We always look to her on the field for support as the safe pass. She’ll always protect the ball. ‘’

Shoot-out do your knee in?

The two snipers are junior Toni Flaherty, who has 9 goals.5 assists and an eighth-grader Laura Maya, who notched her 7th goal in the Hewlett victory.

Christina Genovese is the attacking midfielder, notching 4 goals and 2 assists and a playoff score vs. Great Neck South.

“On my team nobody’s stats jump out because everyone contributes,’ Posillico said.

Well, the goalie’s stats do pop up as netminder Vanessa DeCastro has a save percentage of .965 with 57 stops in 2023. Her

lone defeat was no fault of her own, coming in a 1-0 loss to Roslyn. The schools split the season series.

“We had most of the possession - 17 shots on goal,’’ Posillico said. “We had a lot of shots right at (the goalie) but it’s a game we deserved to win. We just couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net.’’

Posillico had been at the school three years before he was tabbed head coach. He spent that summer reviewing a host of formations before selecting the ones that would maximize his talent.

Andrew Garbarino and Nick LaLota — each voted three times for Zeldin for House speaker. They were joined by Rep. Marcus Molinaro of upstate New York in voting for Zeldin on the third ballot.

House rules allow anyone to be nominated to serve as speaker, not just current members of Congress. Zeldin, a Shirley Republican, lost in 2022 to Gov. Kathy Hochul.

D’Esposito, Garbarino and LaLota — all Republicans — formed a small voting bloc hoping to draw attention to issues facing Long Island. Rep. George Santos, also a Republican who represents part of Nassau County, voted three times for Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, who failed to win the speakership.

D’Esposito, Garbarino and LaLota released a joint statement on X last week stating they are a “unified front” representing Long Island, and that they insist the next House speaker prioritize “SALT cap relief, 9/11 healthcare funding, flood insurance legislation, and assurances that we curb runaway federal spending” to avoid a government shutdown.

In another statement, the three Long Island Republican congressmen said they are eager to elect a speaker who commits to helping Long Island.

“This process has always been about policies which put Long Island first, not any person or politics,” the statement signed by D’Esposito, Garbarino and LaLota reads. “For weeks, we have been incredibly open and transparent with every candidate for speaker about the need to support the best interests of our constituents including keeping government open while securing the border and fixing the budget, SALT cap relief, flood insurance, and the World Trade Center Health Program.”

Molinaro, a Republican, said in a statement he joined with D’Esposito, Garbarino and LaLota in voting for Zeldin because of his strong stand on Israel.

“I voted for Lee Zeldin,” Molinaro said in a statement. “He’s championed crucial fights like driving down inflation, securing the border, and is an unwavering supporter of Israel.”

LaLota was clear about why he voted for Zeldin and not Jordan, who received 200 votes in the first ballot, narrowly missing becoming House speaker. “I’ve been up front about withholding my support without reliable commitments on these impor tant issues,” LaLota said in a statement.

“When I said I’d always put Long Island first, I wasn’t bluffing.”

D’Esposito responded to LaLota’s post on X, “I second that motion.”

House Republicans, who hold a 221212 majority, were expected to continue to work to nominate a candidate for speaker this week, after the Herald went to press.

Let a mad scientist’s lair take over your home

By Karen Bloom

he countdown is on to spooking and assorted revelry. The signs of that festive day are all around us as those ghouls, witches and wizards — along with princesses, pirates, etc. — look forward to Oct. 31.

Prepare a disposable decorating bag with more green icing; cut a hole in point of bag (the size of tip 3)SO. Attach candy eyeballs with dots of green icing.

Pipe green eyelids.

Use black pouch icing with round tip to pipe dot nose and neck bolts, outline mouth and stitches.

So, throw on a costume and act like a kid — with or without the kids. Transform your house into Frankenstein’s lab with a few party tricks and Halloween goodies. Set the scene with a mad scientist-themed sweets table, and carry it home with a crazy good menu featuring frightfully yummy appetizers, some mocktails for the kids (and non-drinkers in your crowd) and, of course, treats.

Melted Witch Punch

Play mixologist with a perfect potion recipe featuring a few easy ingredients.

• 6 cups water • 1 cup white sugar • 1 (6 ounce) package lime-flavored gelatin mix • 1 (46 fluid ounce) can pineapple juice • 2 quarts orange juice • 1/2 cup lemon juice • 2 (2 liter) bottles chilled lemon-lime soda Mix water, sugar, and gelatin mix in a large saucepan and bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and cook at a boil, whisking frequently, until gelatin and sugar have dissolved, about 3 minutes. Stir pineapple juice, orange juice, and lemon juice into gelatin mixture and transfer into resealable plastic bags. Place in freezer until slushy, about 4 hours.

Bring Frankenstein to life

It’s not a mad scientist Halloween party without Frankenstein.

This easy Frankenstein cake makes a big statement, a fantastic centerpiece for your sweets table and will make others green with envy over your decorating skills.

Bake and cool on cooling grid.

Prepare green icing. Stack layers on cake plate for a two-layer cake, using leveler as needed. Ice cake sides smooth.

Use black pouch icing without tip to cover top of cake. Use tip of spatula to create spiral effect. Use black pouch icing with star tip to pipe pull-out bangs around top edge and two hair strands on cake top.

The Brooklyn-based comedian is back with his latest off-Broadway comedy special, ‘Colin Quinn: Small Talk.’ Quinn is most widely known for political humor, but his ‘Small Talk’ comedy show has a different focus: the art of charisma. In his latest attempt at humor, Colin breaks down the one area he’s actually gifted in: personality. He has been chatting it up with friends, family, municipal employees and counter people his whole life, and now he can wants to teach everyone how to stop sucking the energy out of the room. Quinn’s most recent stage show, 2021’s ‘The Last Best Hope,’ combined a similar premise (Quinn’s charisma) with his trademark political comedy, focusing on why his is a voice worth listening to in today’s social-media saturated age where everyone has a platform.

Quinn has indeed built a sizable social media platform, with more than 500,000 followers on X — formerly known as Twitter — alone, but he’s a stalwart of the in-person New York City comedy scene, too.

Friday, Oct. 27, 8 p.m. Tickets start at $45. Tilles Center for the Performing Arts, LIU Post campus, 720 Northern Blvd., Brookville.

Pink Talking Fish Three mammoth bands. Three musical phenomenons. One idea inspired by love of the music. That’s Pink Talking Fish, who visit the Landmark stage with their hybrid tribute fusion act.

Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads and Phish are all more than just bands to Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums, and Cal Kehoe on guitar. PTF has discovered that fusing the material together creates an amazing story.

The epic emotion of Pink Floyd. The funky, dance-able layerings of The Talking Heads. The styles, unique compositional structures and pure fun of Phish — to merge these three into one gives music lovers a special experience. Discovering connections is part of the fun: Pink Floyd’s ‘On The Run’ seamlessly fitting in the middle of the composition of Phish’s ‘You Enjoy Myself.’ Perfectly placing Phish’s ‘Sand’ into the groove of The Talking Head’s ‘Slippery People,’ and more.

Saturday, Oct. 28, 8 p.m. $45 and $40. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (917) 567-5842 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

The Joni Project

The Joni Project visits the Landmark stage, Friday, Nov. 10, 8 p.m., celebrating Joni Mitchell’s 80th birthday. The musically sophisticated band is fronted by remarkable multi-instrumentalist and singer Katie Pearlman, who impressively plays Joni’s songs in their original open guitar tunings, and also includes jazz and jam band mainstays Dave Berg (guitar), Dan Ehrlich (bass), Alan Lerner (drums), Mark Mancini (keyboards), Steve Finklestein (percussion), Premik Russell Tubbs (saxophone and flute) and Victoria Faiella (backing vocals).

Collectively, they’ve performed with members of the Grateful Dead, The Band, The Doors, the Neville Brothers, and many others. Together, they bring fresh interpretation to Joni’s legendary tunes from their many eras and genres — particularly from the time of her stunning and dynamic collaboration with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. From the deep folk roots of her musical beginnings, Joni’s music evolved over the years to include elements of funk, rock and the full palette of harmonic colors embodied by modern jazz. Her brilliantly original chord progressions were paired with beautifully crafted melodies adorned by lyrics of unmatched poetic profundity to create some of the most powerfully enduring and well-loved songs of all time. Perlman faithfully performs in true Joni style, her tunings remain as fresh today as they were when first performed. $45, $39. $33. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (917) 567-5842 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

On exhibit View the landmark exhibition “Modigliani and the Modern Portrait,” at Nassau County Museum of Art. Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project, which authenticates paintings and drawings (two of the works in the show have been recently approved by the committee). Through Nov. 5.

26-28, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 29, 2 p.m.; panel discussion follows Sunday performance at 4:30 p.m., discussing book banning and censorship. Also online streaming show, Nov. 3.

Kenneth Jones’ new play is based on the real life story of Emily Wheelock Reed, a librarian who defended a book that caused a minor uproar in 1959 Alabama. A gentle children’s book with an apparent hidden message stirs the passions of a segregationist state senator, just as the civil rights movement is flowering. A contrasting story of childhood friends — an African American man and a woman of white privilege, reunited in adulthood in Montgomery that same year — provides private counterpoint to the public events of the play.

Q. My home insurance is being canceled, and I’m actively looking around to replace it. The excuse I got was that the companies that used to insure find the risks in flood and wind-prone areas are now too great. I understand this, so I’m wondering if there are things I can do to make my home less of an insurance risk to a company. Are there reasonable upgrades I can make, and what are they?

Ronnie Gerber 516-238-4299

A. The answer has two sides, like a doubleedged sword. First, yes, there are things you can do to your home to make it easier to insure. But the second part is applying the meaning of the word “reasonable.” Next, you have to understand that, like other forms of gambling, which is what insurance really is, do you have a chance to win back your money, your insurance payments, or your investment in your property to presumably reduce onte eeper the payments?

Again, insurance is a legalized form of gambling, extensively regulated but sometimes loosely enforced. Many people say, when describing gambling casinos, that the house always wins in the end, and with a few exceptions, casinos rarely fail.

Insurance companies have been hit with one disaster after another due to strange global weather that some deny is a trend, but those companies aren’t as care-less, and they invest heavily in statistical analysis, so you can bet that if they’re pulling out of certain areas, they know something.

So, a “reasonable” investment to make your house easier or more attractive to insure often ends up being unreasonable, or is based on faulty assumptions. For example, you may add a steel roof and concrete composite siding as a more reasonable and less costly wind-resistance improvement, only to discover that the insurance company thinks you should still have raised your home, because they think flooding is a bigger and more frequent risk to insure.

Add to that the fact, as some insurers will point out when you complain, that by making the improvements, you increase the cost of reconstruction. That’s a good argument, one you’ll never win.

The same thing happens with alarm systems, fencing your property or removing trees that could fall on your roof.

Make improvements that help you to recover more healthfully, safely and economically, for your own assurance. I am convinced, as you can see, that all the effort you put in is not universal in your neighborhood, and insurance companies look at whole areas, not just your home, for insurability.

Even the Federal Emergency Management Agency is a large and extremely indebted insurance company, funded with the help of tax dollars and losing billions. So before you make changes and improvements, remind yourself that you’re doing this for yourself, not to reduce insurance costs. As Walter Cronkite used to say when he signed off on his broadcast of “The CBS Evening News” when I was a kid, “And that’s the way it is.” Good luck with whatever you decide to improve.

f ever there were a just war, it is Israel’s war against Hamas. If ever there were a war in which there is no moral equivalence, it is Israel’s war against Hamas. If ever there were a war with potential regional and global implications, it is Israel’s war against Hamas.

That’s why I believe it is disgraceful and indefensible for so many in the media, in academia and in political circles to be suggesting, and acting as if, there were “two sides” to this war. As if Israel pETER has to defend its military action, KinG and somehow it is the Palestinians in Gaza who are victims.

The war began when Hamas launched a terrorist attack targeting Israel’s most innocent noncombatants, murdering children, women and the elderly, killing 1,400 Israelis and taking more than 200 hostages. These noncombatants were not “collateral damage.”

They were Hamas’ intended victims.

This was the ultimate in depraved terrorism. Israel has not only the legal and moral right to retaliate against

i

Hamas, but the moral obligation to defend its citizens by doing all it can to destroy Hamas.

Yet with each passing day, we see media commentators, student demonstrators and morally challenged politicians such as U.S. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, anguishing over the plight of the Palestinians and the concern that Israel will “overreact” to a terrorist attack that resulted in the equivalent of 40,000 dead in the United States.

Most shockingly, we saw the same cast of characters accept Hamas’ unsubstantiated claim that an Israeli rocket had destroyed a hospital in Gaza, causing more than 500 innocent fatalities.

Some Americans are calling for a ceasefire. Unfortunately, President Biden added to the moral and strategic confusion when, during his meeting in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he referred to Hamas as the “other team” and cautioned Israel against overreacting.

What has happened to our ability as a people to make moral distinctions and judgments and recognize the difference between good and evil, victim and assailant?

i

Would anyone have suggested in the days following the attack on Pearl Harbor that President Franklin D. Roosevelt call for a ceasefire with Japan, or that he and Gen. Douglas MacArthur assure the world that the United States would not overreact?

Would FDR, then Gen. Dwight Eisenhower and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill have been called on to ensure that they would observe the rules of war in combating Hitler?

Would the media have felt obligated to give “both sides” of the story? To give equal time to Hitler and Japanese Emperor Hirohito? Would any American, let alone the president, have referred to Nazis or the Gestapo as the “other team”? Would the media have gone through the streets of Dresden, Hamburg or Berlin looking for civilian casualties, or taking at face value Nazi claims of American war crimes?

The reality is that there will always be unintended civilian casualties in any war. This will be especially true in any war with Hamas, which intentionally locates its fighters, rockets and artillery in densely populated civilian areas. Unlike Hamas, Israel will make every effort to avoid civilian deaths,

f ever there were a war in which there is no moral equivalence, it is this one.

and certainly won’t target noncombatants.

Waging war against Hamas goes far beyond retaliation or revenge. Hamas must, to the greatest extent possible, be annihilated, to prevent future attacks on Israel’s citizens. Hamas is also a proxy for Iran, which is the largest state sponsor of terror in the world and an ever-growing military — and soon to be nuclear — threat to the region and the world. Hezbollah, headquartered just north of Israel in Lebanon, possesses over 100,000 rockets, and is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Iran.

Israel is our strongest ally and the only democracy in the Middle East, the most volatile region in the world. This current war is not a battle for turf or bragging rights. It is a struggle that Israel is waging for itself and for all civilized peoples. Israel deserves our full, unqualified support for its own success and security, and the future of the world as we know it.

It is also time for the United States to restore its sense of moral balance, and accept the reality that there can be no moral equivalence in this struggle between good and evil. Stand with Israel!

Antisemitism in our schools is way too common

n May, I took part in a special hearing convened by the Nassau County Legislature’s Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in Nassau County. The hearing gave students, parents, rabbis and other interested members of the community the opportunity to share information about personal antisemitic experiences and incidents. I, and many of my task force colleagues, were horrified by some of the stories we heard.

I am so proud of the students who came and AVi had the confiposnicK dence to speak up, knowing that what they said would be entered into the public record. The hearing was also recorded and covered by a number of media outlets. We heard horrendous stories, which included accounts of swastikas found on school property (in some cases left unaddressed for weeks) and antisemitic comments directed at Jewish students, among other things.

What shocked me the most — and is

truly concerning — is how normalized and “casual” the antisemitism seems to be. In all my years of working to fight antisemitism and hate, I knew students were facing antisemitic incidents, but never thought it would be considered so normal among students in our local schools.

Following the hearing, the task force convened a special meeting, which I had the honor to chair, consisting of superintendents and principals from a number of county school districts. This gave us an opportunity to learn what steps they are taking to combat antisemitism, both proactively and responsively. I heard many positive and encouraging remarks from the administrators in attendance, including two points that I believe we all must take to heart and implement.

First, whenever an antisemitic or hateful incident occurs, the school must not attempt to hide the matter out of a concern for negative publicity. The school should instead be transparent, and notify the school community about the situation and outline how the

i

administration is addressing it.

Schools need to identify both what the community can do to fight antisemitism and hate and outline concrete steps it is taking toward that end.

Administrators who properly and promptly condemn and respond to antisemitism have friends in a number of groups, including my organization, StandWithUs, that are ready to support and partner with them, and to provide the resources and assistance they need.

Second, as one superintendent made clear, there should be greater outrage when it comes to instances of antisemitism. Sadly, that is not always the case.

For example, when students or visitors at school events spew antisemitic slurs and other hateful rhetoric, it is insufficient simply to tell the offenders to “be nice” and then continue the event in a business-as-usual manner. When something like this happens, the authorities responsible for the event should express outrage and stop the activity until the perpetrators are removed and all attendees have an equal opportunity to participate and enjoy the activity.

t’s not enough to just tell those who spew slurs at school events to ‘be nice.’

I understand that this kind of response doesn’t happen overnight. It happens only if the right boundaries and understanding are established.

Antisemitism can be difficult to identify. Through the Special Legislative Task Force, StandWithUs and other groups have shared their clear commitment to fighting anti-Jewish bigotry.

There are educational materials, policy recommendations, and training for administrators, teachers and students that focus on how to identify antisemitism and ways to address antisemitic incidents.

As we continue the new school year, I hope our amazing schools in Nassau County, across Long Island and throughout the Northeast will take advantage of the resources being offered and commit to implementing best practices to ensure the safety, wellbeing, and equal educational opportunities for all students in these communities.

Avi Posnick is the executive director of StandWithUs Northeast & New England, and a member of the Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in Nassau County. StandWithUs is an international, nonpartisan education organization that supports Israel and fights antisemitism.

Have a fun — and safe — Halloween

ctober marks the return of the “spooky season.” But before you get all dressed up and head out to celebrate Halloween, it’s important to remember that safety must come first.

A study conducted by State Farm found that one of every four pedestrian deaths on Halloween are children out walking between 6 and 7 p.m. And a vast majority of those deaths occur away from a crosswalk or intersection.

Halloween is supposed to be a time for fun, costumes and candy — not rides in ambulances. There are lots of cars on the roads, even when kids are trick-ortreating. And on this night it’s more important than ever to use crosswalks, look both ways, and stay on the sidewalks. Especially with the uptick in reckless driving the Herald has reported on in recent weeks in different neighborhoods.

Also, wear bright, reflective colors, or add strips of reflective tape to costumes to make them more visible to passing vehicles.

But that’s not all. The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns parents to buy only flame-resistant costumes — generally made of fabrics like polyester or nylon — and to ensure that costumes

aren’t too long or too wide, which could cause our young ones to trip.

Children should travel in groups accompanied by parents or responsible adults, and only knock on doors of welllit homes that have porch lights on.

Instead of masks that can obscure your vision, use makeup and hats instead. Just be sure makeup is Food and Drug Administration-approved, especially anything applied on the face or around the eyes. And avoid decorative contact lenses that change eye color.

All of these are warnings many of us have heard every year. But what about all that delicious Halloween candy? We all grew up hearing horror stories about razor blades in apples, and evil people poisoning the miniature candy bars they hand out.

But dangers today may not even be intentional. Last year, for example, authorities at Los Angeles International Airport confiscated nearly 12,000 fentanyl pills hidden inside wrapped bags and boxes of candy. While it’s highly unlikely that children were the targets of the smugglers, police, as always, advised parents to inspect the candy their trick-ortreaters brought home. That’s more important these days than ever, and if you find anything suspicious, do not

touch it, and notify law enforcement right away.

Another new threat is THC edibles and candies that may look like something intended for children, but are anything but. They come in shapes similar to Sour Patch Kids, gummy worms and chocolate bars, but they contain psychoactive substances. The worst part? Some people may not even realize they’ve bought it, and could give it out to kids without even realizing what’s inside.

While the effects of THC ingestion in children vary, some telltale symptoms may include sedation, shortness of breath, anxiety, and quivering. If you believe a child has accidentally consumed THC edibles, call the National Capital Poison Center, at (800) 222-1222.

Of course, The FDA advises not accepting or eating anything that is not commercially wrapped. Inspect wrappers for any signs of tampering, including an unusual appearance, discoloration, pinholes, or tears in the wrappers.

And if anything in your child’s trick-ortreat bag looks suspicious, throw it away.

There are so many things all of us can be for Halloween this year. But the last thing any of us wants to be is a statistic.

So plan ahead, stay safe and alert, and fun will surely follow.

Letters Faith will help Israel survive To the Editor: On the morning of Oct. 12, corresponding to the 27th day of the month of Tishrei in the Hebrew calendar, Jews at morning prayers in synagogues around the world began the cycle of Torah reading with the chanting of the first words of Genesis, “In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth.”

This cycle has been going on for thousands of years, and its endurance is a testament to the strength and faith of the Jewish people. Unfortunately, the tragedy of war and terror that Israel is now enduring has also continued to repeat itself, from the earliest days of exile and the destruction of the first temple in Jerusalem, to the war now raging in Gaza.

Nonetheless, the survival of the Jewish people is a direct result of our faith and belief that there is a God that watches over us, to ensure our survival as a nation — not in a geographic sense, but in a spiritual one. Individually, we are vulnerable to the vicissitudes of life, as we have sadly witnessed in Israel.

Collectively, however, we prevail and survive, as our faith once again leads us to listen to the chanting of those first words of Genesis.

Those who tragically die, either in battle as warriors or merely because of their faith, do not die in vain. They join an endless list of martyrs who perished, yet serve as a testament to our abili-

ty to survive as a nation, in triumph over tragedy.

We must all pray for Israel’s survival, and that peace can reign supreme in Israel, Gaza and throughout the world.

It’s time for many to choose a Medicare plan To the Editor: As a physician, the last thing I want is for patients to make decisions about their

y parents were worried the moment I laid eyes on the apartment for the very first time.

It was the entire top floor of a car dealership just off what would eventually become Interstate 86, at the edge of the Finger Lakes region upstate. This would be my first apartment — my first home outside the family home where I grew up in Pennsylvania.

But that’s not why my parents were concerned.

My new job — as a sports editor for a community weekmiCHaeL ly newspaper in the small city of Hinman Bath — paid $200 a week. And the rent for this apartment would eat up a good chunk of that.

I wasn’t listening, however. I was young. The world was mine to conquer.

And I was able to dive headfirst into my chosen career while still quite literally a teenager. It was supposed to be nothing but easy sailing from this point, except it wouldn’t be anything close.

Of course, I was wrong, and my parents were absolutely right. I couldn’t

afford the apartment and simply living.

Every other week, my bank account would dwindle to almost nothing, days short of being replenished with another paycheck.

I had to pay my rent. I had to put gas in the 1982 Chevette that I had bought a year earlier with my freelance money. I had to keep the electricity on and the water running.

All that was left to sacrifice was probably the one thing I needed the most: food.

By the time payday finally arrived, I could have gone as long as three days without eating. And you truly don’t know suffering until you feel hunger. Real hunger.

My paycheck would hit my bank account at 11 a.m., and I would race to the nearby Burger King — my car running on fumes — to sit in the drive-thru, praying for speedy service. Then I would pull into the parking lot and devour every morsel of my lunch. Tears would streak my cheeks through each bite of the Whopper.

When we think of hunger, it makes sense that our minds jump to extremes, conjuring images of children — primarily in other countries — literally starv-

t

oo many of us are one missed paycheck or medical emergency away from hunger.

Letters health and well-being based on the cost of care and medication rather than their actual needs.

Right now is a critical time for the over 3.8 million individuals in New York who rely on Medicare for their health insurance. Evaluating your health care needs can help you select a plan that will cover you when you need it the most and fit within your budget.

While it’s impossible to foresee all health issues that may require treatment, there are several things to consider during the Medicare Advantage and prescription drug plan annual election period, which runs through Dec. 7:

■ Doctors and hospitals: If you have a favorite doctor, make sure he or she accepts your plan, to avoid any additional expenses for out-of-network providers. Also, determine whether the plan requires referrals for specialized care.

■ Future health risks: In addition to making sure your plan covers your current health needs, speak to your doctor about health risks that may require additional treatment. For instance, if you have prediabetes, consider the potential for future diabetes management.

■ Costs: Different plans have different costs, so understand the full picture when comparing plans in your area.

Consider monthly premiums, deductibles and co-pays for hospital stays and doctor visits. Also, pay attention to annual maximum out-of-pocket costs — if you reach the limit, you’ll pay nothing for covered services the rest of the year.

■ Prescription drug benefits: Prescription drug coverage is included in many Medicare Advantage plans, unlike original Medicare. If you prefer original Medicare, you can opt for a stand-alone prescription drug plan through a private insurer. Prepare a list of your current medications so you can compare costs while choosing plans.

ing. And that is indeed horrific. At the same time, however, we can’t lose sight of the fact that hunger exists in so many forms. And that so much of it is far closer to us than we might think.

A popular term for it is “food insecurity,” but let’s simply call it what it is: hunger. And it affects those of all walks of life, from children to our senior citizens. Island Harvest — the largest food bank on Long Island — delivers millions of meals each year, but that’s still not enough. Long Island Cares — founded by the late singer and songwriter Harry Chapin — estimates that as many as 230,000 people go hungry on Long Island every day.

Across the country, millions of people are a job loss, a missed paycheck, or a single medical emergency away from hunger, according to Feeding America.

And it affects some of our populations — our children, our seniors, and many of our minority communities — disproportionately more than the rest of us.

Hunger is a silent predator, existing so close to us, yet so difficult to see. It could be your child’s best friend next door. It could be the nice retired lady

around the corner who enjoys talking to neighbors from her porch. It could be the young professional stepping out into the world for the first time.

But we don’t need to see it to help. We don’t need to experience it to help. It’s out there. It’s terrible. And yes, we can make a difference.

Island Harvest and Long Island Cares are just two of many area organizations that are fighting hunger. You can give money, non-perishable food, or even your time. Visit IslandHarvest.org or LICares. org. Or just look around your own neighborhood — there’s likely someone already battling hunger. And if there isn’t, maybe it’s your time to step up.

“Hunger is an obscenity, and hunger in America is the ultimate obscenity,” Chapin once said, echoing the words of Anne Frank, who truly knew hunger while hiding from the Nazis during World War II. Yet even in those darkest of times, Frank remained optimistic: “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world,” she wrote.

Don’t wait a single moment. Let’s wipe this obscenity of hunger from our society once and for all.

■ Other benefits: Consider additional benefits that can positively impact your health and well-being. Medicare Advantage plans may include dental, vision and hearing coverage; fitness programs; transportation to doctors’ visits; and even allowances that help eligible beneficiaries pay for healthy food and other essentials, like rent and utilities.

■ Quality: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services reviews and rates all Medicare Advantage plans before the enrollment period each year to help consumers make informed decisions.

Plans are rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 indicating poor performance and 5

She didn’t want to stop teaching fourth grade or be derailed from earning her master’s degree in education, so she teamed up with the cancer experts at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside who designed a treatment plan that included surgery, chemotherapy, and reconstruction. Through it all, Angela earned her master’s from Fordham University and kept teaching.
