Elmont valedictorian Yusef Lateef publishes book on ‘Medical Mayhem’ By NIColE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com

Yusef Lateef, Class of 2024 Elmont Memorial High School valedictorian, recently added the publication of a new book to his long list of impressive accomplishments. In August, Lateef self-published “Medical Mayhem: Stories from the Medical Field,” which is available on Amazon Kindle for 99 cents. “I was kind of thinking, ‘What’s something good that I could do for my own self to get more exposure to fields of medicine?’” Lateef said. “Because, I’ve always known I’ve wanted to be a doctor since I was a kid — but, you know, some-

times you question it.” He asked himself this question throughout middle school and early in high school. Around the ninth grade, he came up with the idea about retelling interesting stories from the medical field. He then worked on his book over the course of the next four years, collecting 125 stories from doctors’ offices. He also searched online public forums to find stories from students, medical professionals and patients to gain a better understanding of their experiences. The research spanned the globe, with experiences from all 50 states, as well as from 33 countries. Before each Continued on page 5

On Sept. 21, Anthony Laurino dropped his son Francesco Laurino off at Far mingdale High School for a trip to a band camp in Pennsylvania. While his son was not on the bus that crashed later that day — one that resulted in the death of 43-year-old Farmingdale High School band director Gina Pellettiere and 77-year-old retired social studies teacher Beatrice Ferarri— Laurino remains deeply touched by the tragedy as a member of the Farmingdale community. As owner of Phil’s Pizzeria in Syosset, Laurino thought there must be something he could do to help the families of those who were affected by the tragedy. He got together with Alyssa Guidice of LI Dine and Jim Serpico, owner of Side Hustle Bread, to create a fundraiser to help these families out. Originally, the fundraiser was a one-night-only plan set for Oct. 25 — but as more communities heard about the mission, more restaurants wanted t o g e t i nvo l ve d . L a u r i n o, Guidice and Serpico set out to

get 20 pizzerias involved with the fundraiser. By the end of October, more than 140 pizzerias across Nassau County and Suffolk County participated in the efforts to support families who have been affected by the tragedy. T he fundraiser spanned three days, from Oct. 25-27 allowing more businesses to get involved. For every pie purchased at a participating pizzeria or restaurant during the fundraiser, $5 of the proceeds will be distributed to families affected by the tragedy. The distribution for the fundraiser will be split across four sectors, according to Guidice. Most of the money will go to the critically injured, other portions will go to the non-critically injured, the marching band and to the families of Pellettiere and Ferarri. Some band members lost their equipment on that bus, and Guidice said that the fundraiser hopes to be able to replace it. This was brought to Guidice’s attention by a mother of one of the students who was on the bus during the crash. The student was not Continued on page 2

critically injured, but his instrument was damaged that day. Guidice, Laurino and Serpico worked together with Farmingdale High School to ensure they went through the right channels to get the money back to the families affected by the tragedy. “We wanted to make sure they were happy with how, and who, we were giving the money to,” Serpico said. The donation total will not be tallied up for weeks to come as the fundraiser organizers work to collect the donation checks made out to Farmingdale school district. The response from residents across Long Island was overwhelmingly supportive. The donations will be dropped off with a letter explaining specifically where every dollar will be distributed throughout those affected. Serpico said the goal is to raise $100,000 with this fundraiser. It wasn’t only the neighbors who came out to buy a pie for a charitable cause. Slice, a pizza delivery app, and Premier Payroll Solutions helped out and matched donations. For every pie ordered using Slice, donations were matched to result in a $10 donation. Anna Cortesiano, owner of Salvatore’s of Elmont, helped facilitate Slice’s participation with Long Island Pizza Strong after weeks of reaching out to the company. Premier Payroll Solutions helped out and said the company would donate a dollar for every pie sold up to $5,000. In Franklin Square, Cinellis Pizza, Chef Gigi’s Place and Prince Umberto participated in the fundraiser. In Elmont, King Umberto’s and Salvatore’s of Elmont participated. Pizzerias in other Nassau towns, such as East Meadow, Merrick, West Hempstead, Wantagh and more took part in the fundraiser. “I think it was a win-win for most of the pizzerias,” Serpico said.

Halloween bingo raises money for house renovations

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — November 2, 2023

By NICOLE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com

Neighbors dressed in their scariest, funniest and more creative costumes for a night of Halloween-themed bingo to raise money for a Rescuing Families project. According to Gina Centauro, founder of Rescuing Families, 185 people bought tickets for the Halloween costume bingo on Oct. 27. Community members gathered at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post 2718 in Franklin Square to raise money for the organization’s next project. The nonprofit that helps families with a disabled loved one retrofit and renovate their homes so that they can easily navigate their house. The Reyes family in Valley Stream will be the next family to receive help from Rescui n g F a m i l i e s, and has already had a bit of wo rk d o n e t o their property. GINA CENtAuRO J e s s i c a founder of Rescuing Reyes, a family Families member who no longer lives in the home, reached out to Rescuing Families about her family’s needs. Her brother, Douglas Reyes, 43, became paraplegic when he was 18 years old after a swimming accident. While Douglas has regained some mobility after physical therapy, he still needs help getting around. Jessica and Douglas’ parents have helped Douglas ever since then, but it has proved more difficult as time has gone on. Centauro said their father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and his condition has deteriorated over time. “We visited them and realized that they were in more need than they even realized,” Centauro said. “Or that they even asked for.” In October, volunteers with Rescuing Families and National Grid went to the Reyes family’s house to do a bit of landscaping and fix up a ramp at the home’s entrance. The ramp had originally been built by a family friend, Centauro said, but needed a bit of work. During the Halloween bingo, Rescuing Families was able to raise money for the cause. Attendees paid a $30 ticket fee for five bingo games, food and drinks at the event. To grab an additional bingo card, there was a $3 fee for each additional card. There were also raffle tickets sold for $5 for the 50/50 raffle and Chinese auction. There was also a competition for the funniest, scariest, most creative, best overall and best couples costume that community members were encouraged to participate in. The idea for the themed bingo started back in 2021, when Rescuing Families hosted an ugly sweater bingo. Since June, the organization has

Nearly 200 community members gathered at the Veterans of Foreign Wars post 2718 in Franklin Square on Oct. 27 to raise money to retrofit a home for the Reyes family of Valley Stream.

Last Friday, Rosie Lannotta of Bayside bought extra bingo cards from volunteer Barbara Donohue and Rescuing Families co-founder Vincent Centauro to raise money for a renovation project in Valley Stream. raised more than $35,000 for the Reyes family project. “They’re project is huge, we’re doing the entire house,” she said. “So, we’re looking to raise funds any way we can.” The nonprofit plans to work on the house after Thanksgiving, according to Centauro. The family will stay with Jessica Reyes while the home is renovated, and knows that the house is being renovated but don’t know exactly what work is being done throughout. “They’re going to come back into their home in 2024 with a brand-new home,” she said. For any community members who are skilled or unskilled with tools, Rescuing Families is always open to add a helping hand to its team.

The second annual Halloween costume bingo night hosted by Rescuing Families in Franklin Square drew up some smiles on the faces of the crowd.

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

Ettinger Law Firm’s Guide to Protecting Your Future by Michael Ettinger

Written in plain English, our new 311 page Guide (Amazon.com) starts with the basics: (1) a simple five-step process to creating an effective estate plan (2) a description of each of the legal documents needed to address all your legal, financial and medical contingencies, and (3) options in planning for special situations, such as second marriages, special needs children, leaving a family business, spendthrift children and many more. Arising out of our experience in filing thousands of Medicaid applications, we address how to apply for Medicaid benefits, and various strategies for protecting your assets from the costs of long-term care, including the Medicaid Asset Protection Trust. Numerous chapters are devoted to “Financial and Tax Aspects of Estate Planning,” mostly having to do with saving income, capital gains and estate taxes but also how to leave an IRA to a trust and ways to gain additional liquidity

later in life should the need arise. In recognition of our belief that estate planning is primarily a social exercise, and that the law should follow and serve the social needs of the persons involved, your writer draws on personal experience in tens of thousands of cases over the years to write on “The Social Side of Estate Planning.” Here, we address how to avoid hurt feelings, keep the family together and prevent future litigation. Too many perfectly legal estate plans have had the effect of tearing the family apart by failing to address the social issues involved. The Guide concludes with invaluable chapters on “Health and Well-Being for Older Adults.” Here are the some of latest findings in increasing not only your lifespan but also your “healthspan”, our view being that the best plan for “protecting your future” is to avoid disability and to live as long and healthy as possible.

Although Kennedy failed to reach the Conference III playoffs, its 4-4 record is a major step in the right direction. Torchia was front-and-center in the success, especially October victories over Valley Stream North and Clarke. He had an interception return for a touchdown, a rushing score and touchdown reception against VSN, and a pair of TDs and three two-point conversions versus Clarke.

Big-time athletes make big-time plays, and that was ultimately the deciding factor in Elmont’s 34-28 victory over Long Beach last Saturday in a Nassau Conference II football regular-season finale. “They have some star athletes, and that’s what it came down to,” Long Beach head coach Scott Martin said. “That’s what happens when you play a team like this. They might not strategically beat you throughout the game, but they have the stars to beat you on big chunk plays.” The first of those big plays came on Elmont’s opening drive of the game. On fourth and long, Nassir Edwards vaulted over a Long Beach defender along the sideline to reel in a one-handed catch for a 31-yard gain and a first down. “That was ridiculous,” Elmont head coach Tom Innes said. “You don’t coach that. I have a lot of trust in him and a lot of trust throwing him the ball. He’s a mismatch nightmare. I’d hate to be on the other side having to defend against that. It’s a pleasure having him on my side of the ball because it makes it easy for me to call other plays when I know they’re keyed on that.” After showing his ability as a deep threat, Edwards caught a quick pass from quarterback Aiden Barnes on an out route to put Elmont on the board. With Edwards scoring the game’s opening touchdown, it was only fitting that he scored the one that sealed the victory. In the fourth quarter, he once again leaped over a defender and took the ball to the house, giving Elmont a two-score lead late in the game. Edwards finished the afternoon with three catches and 74 yards with his two touchdowns. Isaiah Davis also had two touchdowns for Elmont, with his first being the one that broke the game open. After Long Beach scored on a fourth down conversion, Davis responded by running back the ensuing kickoff. “We had just let up a touchdown on fourth down, and morale was low,” Davis said. “ I put the team on my back and said, ‘Let’s go, guys.’ I put it all on the field and

You could see the energy back in everybody.” Davis had a 59-yard touchdown run in the game, finishing with 154 on 16 carries. Osagie Ekhator also broke off a huge run to score for Elmont out of the backfield and collected eight tackles on defense. Meanwhile, Vincent Laffey led the Spartans in tackles with 12, and Marquis Robinson snagged an interception. Leading Elmont’s supporting cast was quarterback Aiden Barnes. With 142 yards passing and two touchdowns, the sopho-

more displayed traits that will be essential to Elmont’s success in the postseason. “He showed me toughness,” Innes said. “Calling up a sophomore quarterback, I was definitely worried, but he’s a gamer. He’s just tough as nails. Throughout the season, he kept proving how tough he actually is.” With the win, Elmont finished the regular season 5-3 and will host No. 5 New Hyde Park in the opening round of the playoffs. Long Beach (4-4) will match up against second-seeded Carey.

What’s neWs in and out of the classroom

HERALD SchoolS Alden Terrace students learn about apples Elmont first graders at Alden Terrace School recently concluded their science unit on apples. They researched the life cycle of an apple and learned about the structure and function of the parts of a plant. The students created diagrams that identified the core, stem, leaf, and skin of apples during the unit. They also learned about how farmers use technology, such as drones, to monitor their crops. “This unit truly encompassed everything, from science to reading to technology,” said Shawnée Warfield, Alden Terrace School principal. On Oct. 13, the first graders participated in apple-themed activities to close out the unit. They created apple models using 3D printers, created an apple orchard out of Legos, utilized a green screen to share apple facts and viewed a large apple diagram. Additionally, they learned how a drone works and saw a drone fly back and forth in the building’s STEAM lab. The kids also got to make applesauce in class. — Nicole Wagner

GOT holder and 10-time Grammy award winner John Legend headlines Tilles Center’s annual gala with his intimate “Evening With John Legend,” Saturday, Nov. 11, 8:30 p.m. This special solo performance will features reimaginings of his greatest hits (“All of Me,” “Ordinary People,” “Tonight”), unexpected stories from Legend’s life and career, and selections from his most recent release, “Legend” (“Nervous,” “Wonder Woman”). Legend’s agile voice and virtuoso piano skills certainly do the talking in this wide-ranging performance. The multi-faceted talent dwelled in the background for several years before he launched his multi-pronged sneak attack on the entertainment industry. Shortly after Legend got his first break by playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s Top 40 hit “Everything Is Everything” (1999), the singersongwriter contributed to recordings by the likes of Jay-Z and Janet Jackson, secured a major-label deal through Kanye West, and made his proper debut with Get Lifted (2004). The album made Legend a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning musician, and he was just getting started, neither confined nor burdened by the Recording Academy’s Best New Artist designation. Amid a string of distinctive and debonair LPs, Once Again (2006), Wake Up! (2010), Darkness and Light (2016), and the double album Legend (2022) among them, Legend — as a composer, actor and producer — has excelled with screen and stage pursuits. His triumphs include the Oscar-winning “Glory” (for Selma), the Emmy-winning Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, and the Tony-winning production of Jitney. He is among the first 15 entertainers, and is the first Black American, to have won all four of the major show-business awards. Ticket start at $80; Gala tickets start at $1,250, and include pre-show cocktail reception, gala dinner and premium concert seating. Available at available at TillesCenter.org or (516) 299-3100.

Sewanhaka, Bellmore-Merrick schools combat racism

November 2, 2023 — FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD

By NICOLE WAGNER nwagner@liherald.com

The Sewanhaka and Bellmore-Merrick school districts are working to educate students after a recent racial incident during a junior varsity girls volleyball match on Sept. 27 was brought to administrators’ attention. At a junior varsity girls volleyball match between Elmont Memorial High School and Bellmore’s John F. Kennedy High School, athletes on the Elmont team were verbally taunted with a racial slur from two boys in the stands from the Bellmore school. Tom Dolan, interim super-

intendent for the Sewanhaka school district, said this was not the first occurrence of a racial incident between the schools. The girls reported the incident during the Sept. 27 game and the two boys were removed from the gymnasium. Dolan said the student who made the comment was subsequently removed from the volleyball team he played on at JFK, suspended for five days and was referred to the Bellmore-Merrick school district superintendent for “subsequent consequences.” Kru Patel, Sewanhaka school district athletic director, said that administrators

from both the Sewanhaka school district and Bellmore-Merrick school district were notified of the incident when it occurred. In a message sent out to families involved in the Sewanhaka school district at the time of the incident, Patel said that incidents of this nature are “taken very seriously and will not be tolerated.” On Sept. 28, Michael Harrington, Bellmore-Merrick school district superintendent, spoke to the Bellmore-Merrick board of education about the incident. “As you know, the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District does not tolerate any type of insensitive or hurtful

behavior,” he said. “Such behavior is not reflective of who we are as a school community. We are fully committed to providing an instructional setting that promotes an environment that is respectful and inclusive of all, and does not accept racism, intolerance or discrimination of any type.” At the time, Harrington said the district could not comment on the individual student disciplinary matters. However, he said that the student responsible for the “reprehensible behavior” would be disciplined and receive appropriate consequences in accordance with t h e d i s t r i c t ’s code of conduct. “ We d e e p ly regret the hurt and harm that this incident caused the Elmont community, and members of our own community as well,” Harrington said. Dolan also said he shared a letter of apology written by the JFK student that MIChAEL was delivered by hARRINGtON Harrington with Bellmore-Merrick the board of eduschool district cation prior to superintendent the public portion of the Oct. 24 meeting. At the next match between the same two teams on Oct. 16, administrators from both schools “carefully planned” for the event. According to Dolan, the Bellmore-Merrick school district provided identical warm-up shirts for both teams bearing the logos of both schools as “a message of unity.” “Remember, our athletes are not the perpetrators here,” Dolan said. “However, we hoped that they would be able to convey a message to the community — one of hope, unity and appropriate competition.” The schools will both participate in a conference at BOCES involving 20 students from each of the school districts on Nov. 8. “The goal of the conference will be to build a bridge of understanding between these young people and then ask them to return to their schools and amplify those efforts,” Dolan said. “We’ve contemplated the possibility of another spring event.” The students will participate in a workshop led by Dr. Nancy Kaplan, a member of the Bellmore-Merrick board of education. Dolan said she is a seasoned presenter in this field. Tiffany Capers, a member of the Sewanhaka board of education, will also be at the conference. “This plan may or may not address all of the concerns that every party holds,” Dolan said. “It is a next step, and as a district we will continue to be attentive and responsive. I welcome continued conversation with Bellmore-Merrick.”

There will be chicken salad sandwiches, hamburgers and other options available for purchase. Handmade wreaths will be available for purchase during the fair. Hand-crafted

items from seniors will also be on sale. The organizers will also host a Chinese auction and raffle for gift baskets with gift certificates during the fair. Leonardi said that there will even be a Yankee Candle basket up for grabs. Funds raised at the fair will go back to Wesley United Methodist Church, Leonardi said. The fair typically raises around $2,500, and United Women of Faith hope to raise a similar amount again this year.. Any additional vendors that would like to participate in the event are welcome to contact Leonardi at vjl1030@yahoo.com or (516) 547-7828.

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Q. My kids are looking for a house, and I’ve been going with them. It’s hard to swallow how expensive real estate has gotten since my wife and I bought our first, and last, home 36 years ago with a 14.9 percent interest rate. Could you give some tips on what to look for, beyond basics, because every home we look at needs some kind of work, and I wonder if any of it can be done without a permit (which involves more time and money, and increased taxes), and with the least amount of problems later on, like replacing expensive things — air conditioning, heating or plumbing.

Massapequa

One of A Kind Home!

A. Because of how expensive homes are and how little choice there is in this seller’s market, most of the time people take for granted that they’ll just deal with things later on. Just get the house, worry later. Search out of a flood zone, at the higher point in a neighborhood. Try finding out average taxes for the chosen area. onte eeper MyNassauProperty.com Land Record LookupNassau County will help, since taxes are a forever expense. Houses on water are taxed at a higher rate because of the perceived greater use and value. Avoid being near water unless you love the views or have a boat. If you’re concerned about the expense of homeownership and taxes, a house and boat on the water are not a less costly choice. Add in flood and wind insurance on top of home insurance to see that homes within a mile of any body of water are more costly. Do you want a basement? Basements are the least costly in taxes for the highest rate of return for additional space in a home, but basements have a hidden problem nobody tells you about. Is the basement finished, and does the finish have a permit on record? Does the basement have ceilings that are 6 feet 8 or higher, and not lower than 6 feet 4 under the center beam? Does it have an escape well, or exterior stairs? Are there signs of water staining at the base of the walls? Are the floors settling? Does the crawl space under the house have a concrete slab, required by code, or is the exposed dirt wet? Does the land slope toward the house? Does the roof bow slightly from the outside wall or ridge toward the center, a sign of under-sized structure that reduces shingle lifespan? Is the house older, and probably losing a lot of heat because of poor insulation? Do the ceilings have darker areas around the ceiling joists above, an indication that the roof isn’t vented properly, insulation is minimal or missing and condensation forms in the hidden areas, causing coldness, dampness and rotting? Is fresh paint possibly covering other issues? If you’re going to be doing work, you’ll need permits. Know what municipality the home is in, because most allow new siding, roofing, painting, floor refinishing and exact replacement of kitchens without a permit, but not all. More to come next week.

opinions

ew York is in tough shape. Between the rising costs of goods, a deteriorating public safety situation and an everincreasing tax burden on residents, New Yorkers have faced a slew of issues brought about by policy failures from Albany to the White House. Sadly, already beleaguered residents must also now shoulder the burden of a migrant crisis with serious security and financial implications, thanks to the Biden administration’s AnTHonY failure to secure borders, as D’EsposiTo our well as the “sanctuary state/city” policies of Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams. It is estimated that since the beginning of President Biden’s tenure, 1.6 million migrants have evaded capture by law enforcement personnel while making their way into the United

States. This is a startling number, particularly when you consider that 146 people whose names appear on the federal terrorist watch list were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in the first 10 months of this year. While those individuals were captured, there’s no telling how many more slipped past authorities among the 1.6 million who got away, and what their destinations were. What we do know, however, is that New York was the final destination for over 110,000 migrants who have arrived here since April 2022. Drawn by Hochul’s and Adams’ regular declarations of New York’s sanctuary status, which limits local law enforcement’s cooperation with immigration authorities — as well as the Big Apple’s “right to shelter” law, guaranteeing housing to all — migrants continue to pour into the state at a record pace. Indeed, the mass arrivals have strained finances, particularly in

New York City, where Adams recently announced a sweeping 5 percent budget cut for all city agencies in order to divert additional resources for migrant support. What’s more, the cost of housing these migrants will total north of $12 billion over the next three years — precious taxpayer funding that will be diverted from New York’s longstanding homeless population, public safety/law enforcement, and a long list of social service programs. I have been working hard at the federal level to present positive alternatives to the failing policies of our “leaders” currently occupying the White House, the governor’s mansion and Gracie Mansion. Earlier this year, I was proud to join fellow House Republicans in passing H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. This sweeping legislation would provide further funding to Customs and Border Protection, and includes provisions to enhance border security

either the state nor the city can continue to be a migrant sanctuary.

infrastructure, combat the exploitation and trafficking of unaccompanied children, and much more. I strongly urge my colleagues in the Senate to adopt this legislation and send it to President Biden for his signature. Every moment they don’t, this migrant crisis worsens both in New York and across the country. On the local and state front, I will continue standing alongside everyday New Yorkers who are tired of Hochul’s and Adams’ progressive policies, which have caused chaos on our streets, migrants being crammed into hangars at Kennedy Airport as well as in schools, and impending cuts to government services. The United States is a great country founded on the American dream — the dream that led my ancestors to settle on these shores. I firmly believe in keeping that dream alive and welcoming newcomers to this country, but our current immigration system is failing that dream. We must take immediate action from the top down to correct that failure. Anthony D’Esposito represents the 4th Congressional District.

If this singer-songwriter endorses a candidate, look out

nce upon a time, when you did a survey of the most respected people in America, names like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey or Bill Clinton would dominate the list. Being on the most respected list was a guarantee that you could make a speech, or just send out a tweet, and it would get immediate attention from the public and maybe even move the stock market. Over the past year or so, things have changed. There’s no doubt that Winfrey and Obama will still JERRY make the list, KREMER but if you’re looking for power, prestige and an economic force, your choice has to be Taylor Swift. Winfrey can launch a new venture, and over a period of weeks or months, she will gain the attention of people who follow her career. But nobody can match the impact that Swift’s name and image currently generates. One

example, of many, was the Oct. 1 JetsChiefs game at MetLife Stadium, which drew nearly 25 million viewers, largely because Swift was seated in a luxury box. If you watched the game, you couldn’t help but noticed that the television cameras were devoting almost as much time to Swift as they were to the Jets and Chiefs. Swift didn’t sing or dance. She didn’t walk out on the field for a cameo appearance. All she did was sit — and jump up and down and cheer — with a bunch of friends and relatives of her latest love interest, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce. Besides the huge television audience, the stadium had its largest crowd in recent memory. That Swift is a money generator is no surprise. Her concerts fill every venue to capacity, and generate millions in revenues for hotels, restaurants and all types of local businesses. As a sign of the type of revenue she can generate with one concert,

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sent her a number of fan letters, urging her to schedule concerts in Canada as a way of boosting his country’s economy. Some federal monetary officials have speculated that the revenues generated by her concerts are having an impact on inflation statistics. In recent weeks, a new documentary has been released that follows Swift around the world and gives the general public some idea of the dramatic impact that she has wherever she goes. According to entertainment writers, a number of fans were willing to pay astronomical sums just to get a sneak preview of the travelogue. Can Swift become a political force? No one knows for sure, but recently she sent out a tweet urging people to register to vote. According to election officials, her brief outreach generated 50,000 new registrants in one day. No one knows what her political leanings are, but there is no doubt that she

aylor Swift was on camera at MetLife Stadium as often as the Jets and Chiefs.

could get millions of people to the polls if she chose to promote a candidate. For those of us who don’t follow the music industry, the success of this 33-year-old phenomenon is a little mystifying. She has a sweet voice, writes many of her own songs and has a powerful stage presence. I thought that she appealed to a particular age group but recently a friend, who is 65, excitedly told us about attending a Taylor Swift concert. Her success is attributable to her talent, her personality and her exiting performances. It also is a sign that with all of the political turmoil in our country, the public is desperately seeking fresh faces that have nothing to do with politics. We are very much in need of pleasant distractions and Taylor Swift clearly gives us that, and more.

Keep ‘off-year’ elections off-year

ore than a dozen people are running for president of the United states this year and next — and nearly as many are seeking to replace embattled U.s. Rep. George santos in Congress. and while final decisions in those races are 12 months away, much closer to home, Long Island voters are heading to the polls nov. 8, to decide on a number of races spanning town boards and administrations as well as county legislatures. It’s what we call an “off-year” election — an election that takes place outside more mainstream races — and it gives us a chance to learn about and choose leaders who are much closer to home. Even our neighbors. and listening to those voices is vitally important — much more important for our daily lives than what’s being bandied about in Washington or albany. But there’s a downside to off-year elections, and it’s a significant one: voter turnout is abysmal. across the state, offyear elections attract just half of those who head to the polls for presidential elections, according to Citizens Union. The potential solution? Turn “offyear” elections to “on-year,” by moving town and county races to the same year as campaigns for state and federal offices. and it’s part of a bill that has passed both chambers of the state legislature, and is now on the governor’s desk. This would certainly increase the number of people who cast votes in local races, and would save money typically

Letters Peter King wrote ‘the painful truth’ To the Editor: Re Peter King’s column last week, “Why is Israel urged not to ‘overreact’ against Hamas?”: I thought it was very well written and stated the painful truth. I, too, cannot understand the mentality of our students and politicians who believe Hamas is the victim and that Israel is the bully. I believe, as Mr. King stated, this whole disaster of an issue is due to poor leadership and failed support for Israel with the Obama and Biden administrations and the fake media. I just wanted to thank Mr. King for being brave enough to write the truth, and hopefully some people will read it and better understand what is going on. Thanks for the support of his Republican party, and maybe he should run for president! LIsa KEEnEy Oceanside

spent to make off-year elections happen (although how much is up for debate). and yes, the more people who vote, the better our communities are represented. It’s a noble idea, and it makes sense, at least at first blush. But it would also sacrifice a key element of off-year elections that make them so special: Focusing on these races allows the candidates to not only get their message out, but also to address hyperlocal issues in our neighborhoods that are simply not dealt with at the federal or even the state level. Imagine a ballot dominated by a presidential race, U.s. senate contests and U.s. House races that also included the choices for local judges, county legislators, town administrators and town councils, and village officials — to say nothing of local referendums. It would be a jampacked ballot, which would make it nearly impossible for a typical voter to be properly informed about who’s who and what’s what. naturally, much of our attention would be focused on who would be in the White House come January, and who would be sent to Congress. Candidates for local offices would have to shout to be heard, and even then they’d likely be drowned out. Local issues are crucially important. you know that, because you’re reading a local newspaper. Will local taxes be raised? Can we prevent the sinkholes that are opening up in our streets? How do we put up barriers to keep state legislators from forcing residential zoning in

our communities? How do we counter some of the issues we’re experiencing as a result of bail reform? Those are just a handful of the myriad issues that Herald editors and reporters have inquired about in more than 40 roundtable sessions with local candidates this election season — issues that most likely wouldn’t get anywhere near the attention they deserve if you mixed them in with topics dominating the debates in the state and national campaigns. We look at voting as a right, but it’s also a duty. True democracy requires participation by those being governed to truly work, and our participation takes many forms, but the primary one is casting a ballot. Increasing turnout for these races most certainly remains a priority — but we don’t want to accomplish that by pushing local races into a ballot’s fine print. Gov. Kathy Hochul hasn’t yet signed the bill changing election dates that passed both chambers of the state legislature earlier this year. and she shouldn’t. We need to come up with ways to bring more voters out for local elections, but we must do that by continuing to educate those voters on the issues affecting them most here at home, and by making it clear that voting is one of the best ways they can do something about them. What we can’t do is let those issues be swept away in the whirlwind of state and national elections.

opinions

ong Island, with its rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant communities, is a place we’re proud to call home. Long Islanders are deeply concerned about the proposed Equinor wind turbine project, Empire Wind, and its potential to adversely affect our health, safety and economy. It is essential that we carefully examine the implications of this project and the individuals behind it. Equinor, formerly known as Statoil, is 67 percent owned by Norway and is a ari partner of BP Oil. Equinor has a Brown dubious past, having been sanctioned by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003 for bribing Iranian officials. It is concerning that a company with such a history would be involved in a project of this scale on Long Island. Furthermore, the state sponsors of the bill supporting Empire Wind are associated with current antisemitic stances that raise questions about their priorities and alliances. Long Island is densely populated, and a project of this magnitude has never

been attempted in such a setting, let alone making landfall. Equinor’s plan to install 345-kilovolt copper wires mere feet from residences is alarming. Equinor compares the electromagnetic field generated by these wires to a toaster oven, but the potential health risks cannot be underestimated. Statistically significant studies indicate that even a small increase in electromagnetic field exposure can double the chances of cancer or leukemia, especially among children and fetuses. The proposed wires would emit 25 to 80 milligauss of EMF radiation, making it a significant health concern for our communities. Local governments, including the Village of Island Park and the Long Beach City Council, are vehemently opposed to this project. Long Island is a Home Rule state, and the state Public Service Commission should not have the power to override local land-use authority merely for developer convenience. The health and safety of our communities should always come first. The materials used in wind turbines, such as epoxy resin and glass fiber, contain bisphenol A, a known endocrine disruptor. This substance can lead to vari-

e’re thankful to Gov. Hochul for listening to her suburban constituents.

Letters Next Tuesday, it’s all about voting To the Editor: It is a common misconception that important elections take place only every two or four years. On the contrary: Local elections take place every year, and because turnout is often low in the socalled “off years,” such as this one, your vote can actually make even more of a difference in matters of immediate concern to your community. Your local elected officials are responsible for making the laws and regulations that directly affect you, your family and your neighbors. Local officials have direct authority over things like schools, housing, public transit and the local environment. Local officials are also far more likely to take account of your opinions than are your representatives at the state and federal levels. Make the most of this relationship: Get out and vote on the laws and ballot proposals that matter to you and your community, and for leaders that you believe deserve your trust. Local and state, as well federal, elections affect the quality of our lives, from the healthfulness of our drinking water and the maintenance of our roads and bridges, to the quality of our public education. Voters should take them seriously. The right to vote is the heart of

ous health issues, including developmental problems, reproductive issues, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Moreover, 1 kilogram of bisphenol A can contaminate 10 billion liters of water. The erosion of turbine blades would release bisphenol A nanoparticles into the ocean, potentially entering our food chain when fish ingest them. Rainwater can also carry these nanoparticles into our drinking water aquifer, and they cannot be effectively filtered out. With 200 turbines, each with blades as long as a football field, the potential for contamination would be substantial. Assembly Bill A2888, titled “Clean Energy Outreach and Community Planning Program,” highlights the importance of collaboration between host communities and renewable energy developers. Yet there has been near to no collaboration or outreach to the communities most affected. In fact, the public outcry has not only revealed a lack of local support for the Equinor project, but also brought into question whether, until Oct. 20, the interests of Long Islanders were being considered at all. We are deeply thankful to Gov. Kathy Hochul for listening to her suburban con-

stituents and for vetoing the “Planned Offshore Wind Transmission Act” two weeks ago. Her decision reflects the power of democracy, where elected officials are ultimately accountable to their constituents. What followed the governor’s veto, however, was deeply troubling. Some Democratic politicians, who were not only supporters of the project but actively fought to advance it, are now trying to claim credit for its likely defeat. The Nassau County Democratic Party chairman’s statement that “It’s Democrats that get things done” is, frankly, laughable. Their efforts throughout this process were entirely in favor of pushing the Equinor project forward, not in line with the will and concerns of the Long Island community. Long Islanders must remain vigilant against attempts to rewrite the Empire Wind narrative for political gain. The people of Long Island have spoken, and they deserve the credit for their unwavering dedication to preserving their health, safety, and way of life. It is a triumph for democracy, a reminder that the voice of the people can and should prevail, and a testament to the power of community activism. Long Island’s future depends on it. Ari Brown represents the 20th Assembly District.

Another one rides the bus To the Editor: Our County Legislature voting 19-0 last week to renew a contract with Transdev — the private contractor running the Nassau Inter County Express buses since 2010 — is good news for riders. It demonstrates bipartisan support for bus service. Even with a 15-cent fare increase earlier this year, from $2.75 to $2.90 ($1.45 for seniors), riding a NICE bus is one of the best public transportation bargains around.
