Tempers flare after some call for pair of trustees to resign By kEPhERD DaNiEl kdaniel@liherald.com

Frustration with the Sewanhaka Central High School board of trustees reached a boiling point during a board meeting on Tuesday with several members of the Elmont community calling for the resignation of trustees Michael Jaime and Dr. Tameka Battle-Burkett. A petition on change.org has collected nearly 500 signatures calling for both members to resign. The Elmont Elementary School District comprises six elementary schools, which are represented by seven trustees, two of whom are selected among themselves to represent

Elmont on the high school level on the Sewanhaka Central High School District Board of Education. The high school district comprises five high schools, in Franklin Square, Elmont, New Hyde Park, Garden City Park and Floral Park. Jaime is president of the central high school district and Elmont Elementary School board, and both Jaime and Battle-Burkett were voted into the elementary board earlier this year. Jaime ran unopposed and was reelected with 701 votes and Battle-Burkett, vice president of the elementary school board, was reelected, defeating opponent Fiormelissa Johnson by a vote of 536 to 282. Both have three Continued on page 4

The Gift of Giving Foundation honored 11 Elmont students for completing the student ambassadors program at a luncheon at the Guggin Café and Grill in Elmont last Saturday. The students were awarded citations from Assemblywoman Michaelle C. Solages and a certificate from the Gift of Giving Foundation, a local nonprofit organization that helped teach high school students how to operate a business. Six students from Elmont Memorial High School and five from Sewanhaka High School were selected to be mentored under the leadership of local business owners each Saturday in October, and the program helped students with financial tools and the communication and customer service skills needed to run a business. The businesses that mentored the students during the month were A2Z Automasters auto repair shop in Garden City, and Belimage, a graphic design and printing studio in Elmont, as well as the 5th Precinct police department in North Valley Stream. Elizabeth Forbes, founder of

the Gift of Giving Foundation, said she was grateful to the businesses for participating. “They are always there for the students and the community and I am grateful for the guidance and the experience of being able to collaborate,” Forbes said. “It was something we thought was needed and it was better than expected. We look forward to many others like this.” Belimage owner Van Saint discussed what it meant to mentor the students. “It’s a great program and I loved the ability to teach, to show and, most of all, to inspire,” Saint said. “This is really what I’m here for, inspiring the youth. They are the next generation that’s going to pick up where I leave off.” Jessica Brown, director of the Elmont Student Ambassadors Program, spoke on the lessons the students learned from the program. “The program in itself has provided the Elmont student ambassadors with the tools that are utilized in each of their futures,” she said. “Looking back to where we all started, the young men and women have shown drive and have done outstanding work for the community.” Continued on page 19

T

he sounds of the city are coming to Elmont, treating the community to a special Veterans Day concert.

The Elmont VFW Post 1033 will be in attendance at the Elmont Public Library for a performance by Jerome “City” Smith & the City Sounds Music Ensemble on Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 p.m. The show, which Smith calls “Stars & Stripes Forever,” will honor the day in song and spirit with renditions of patriotic classics. Smith, 58, was born in Hempstead and attended Hempstead High School, where he had his first professional musical performance at age 14. Smith said he was inspired by the Jackson Five when he was younger and started playing drums, joining his high school marching band. He went to Nassau Community College and landed a four-year music scholarship at Long Island University in Brooklyn. Smith’s life has been defined by music and he has performed with some of the biggest names in the music industry. He has performed with Mary J.

Smith conducts a nine-piece orchestra for the City Sounds Music Ensemble, which will be performing with him at the Nov. 6 concert. The group comprises musicians he has played with throughout the years and Samantha Harris, a music student that he has mentored since she was 14 years old. The concert will feature Smith performing a rendition of “America” by Ray Charles, along with songs, including “The Stars and Stripes Forever,” “This Land is Your Land” and will conclude with “God Bless the USA” by Lee Greenwood. “I wanted to do something to honor them with the marching band-type music that is usually played on Veterans Day,” Smith said. Smith said he is excited to perform in what will be his second Veterans Day concert and will look to do what he always does during his performances — connect people through music. “The main thing I want to do, with music being the key, is to open up the door to building bridges and not walls,” Smith said. “We are all God’s children, he expects us to be united, and that’s what I, with the power of music, can help do. It’s about bringing us all together through music and it hasn’t failed me yet. I’m able to connect us all together — when they come to a City Sound music event.”

Community members seek transparency Continued froM front page years left on their terms. Much of the outrage by community members centered around the unexplained leave of absence by Elmont Memorial High School principal Kevin Dougherty, who administrators said took a sabbatical, which resulted in protests and anger from students and parents. Dougherty was reinstated to his position at the school on Oct. 11, and school officials announced during the board meeting that Jon Johnson, Ray Ramos and Pastor Curtis Thompson, all mentors of the Men of Elmont program, which Dougherty created, will be allowed to return after they were barred from school premises. During the meeting community members also expressed concern that the Men of Elmont program would merge with My Brother’s Keeper program. The Men of Elmont program was founded by former President Barack Obama, and while community members do not oppose the program, many believe the groups should remain separate. Sheldon Meikle, a former school board member, said that after the lack of communication from the board on the Dougherty sabbatical, changes must be made. “These representatives represent Elmont on the high school level, and I don’t know what they were thinking, but removing a principal that was so endearing not only to the community but to our students because he started the Men of Elmont club,” Meikle said. “I don’t know how this whole thing came about, but they (the trustees) need to be removed because of their decision-making process.” Community member Kenny Young said that the Dougherty situation was the last straw, but there have been other issues simmering within the community. “This is not just about what happened with Mr. Dougherty, it’s always been about being very dismissive of the needs of the community,” Young said. During last week’s board meeting, community members also raised questions about term limits for board members and how the board determines if a trustee should be banned and for how long. Two board members who are voted to the elementary board select among

Community members also asked if there was a district policy regarding the hiring of family members of trustees and why school board meetings are not livestreamed online so that community members unable to attend in person can view or participate. Jaime said that the board would look into these issues. The school website addressed other questions asked during the board meeting, such as how the district can get a better “pulse of the community” other than at the Board of Education meetings. Board members said they are researching the survey tools some of the county’s school districts use to get that information from their communities. PTSA President Lynette Battle said that community tension will only ease if board members make an effort for trans-

Covert avenue SChool’S Book Club discussed and read the final chapters of “Mudshark” during their Oct. 20 meeting.

Covert Avenue students explore Book Club In the library at Covert Avenue School, a group of students meets weekly with school librarian Jessica Murphy for Book Club. The club is offered to fifth graders interested in reading. At the meetings, which are held on Thursdays during recess, the students discuss the book they are currently reading and read a few chapters aloud. The first book of the school year was “Mudshark” by Gary Paulsen. They have plans to read “Planet Omar: Unexpected Super

Spy” as their second book. Murphy recommends books that the students are not reading in class and books they have not read before. Books are chosen by a group vote. Along with reading together during the club meeting, the students read the books at home. The goal of the club is to foster a love for reading and to introduce students to new genres and different perspectives. ­—­Kepherd­Daniel

Honoring businesses that stay family By WIll sheelIne wsheeline@liherald.com

B

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

The camaraderie, grit and creativity found in family businesses, she said, can’t be replicated anywhere else. That ability to stick together and come up with solutions under pressure is what makes family-run companies so unique. “I think for those that are here today it is very much a celebration of being able to cautiously be back together, in-person, but also a way to show respect for what we’ve had to persevere through,” Armentano said, “whether it’s been supply-chain issues, issues with their work-

force, or just general challenges from Covid.” The presenting sponsor for Herald Family Business Awards was PSEG Long Island, with Easy Tax Credits as a major sponsor.

Improving from a winless 2020 season to a .500 record last spring, the Elmont girls’ volleyball team took the next logical step, hewing to the established trendline with a 14-0 finish this fall in Nassau Conference A/C3 to win its first conference title in five seasons. Its players’ names pervading the upper ranks of conference and county statistical leaderboards, Elmont – which finished 15-1 overall after falling 3-0 as the 15th seed at No. 2 seed Wantagh Oct. 28 in the first round of the Class A playoffs – notched its first undefeated league campaign since 1997, when the Spartans won their last Nassau title. Longtime Elmont coach Terry Ianniello said her club this season evoked strong echoes of the county championship squad she also helmed, and noted that the stillyoung Spartans had shown signs of another big leap early on. “Way back in summer I could see these girls were working hard,” said Ianniello, whose club dropped a total of two sets in the regular season, winning 13 matches by shutout. “Then, after the very first game, I told them, ‘You have no idea what strides you’ve made from last year.’ I could see they were going to be very competitive.” “I knew they’d be good,” Ianniello added. “But I didn’t know they’d be this good.” Elmont junior outside hitters Megan Ortiz and Yamen Imasogie finished first and second in kills in A/C3, respectively. Ortiz, an Honorable Mention All-County honoree last season, twice blasted a season- and team-high 20 kills and ranked fifth in Nassau with 214, while Imasogie compiled a career-best 145 kills, including a season-high 18 against visiting Great Neck South Oct. 18. “My two outside hitters just dominate offensively,” Ianniello said. “And guess what, we get them back for another year.” Spartans setter Gabriella Willaims led all of Nassau with 472 assists in the regular season and fired a league-best 74 service aces (No. 4 Nassau), while fellow junior Rose Joseph was third in A/C3

Certain to see much of its roster

remembered when awards are handed out for the season, Elmont can count itself well-positioned for a run at a repeat title, with top players – including Ortiz, Imasogie and Williams – set to return. For the moment, however, the Spartans can take a well-earned breather and admire their (so-far) once-in-a-generation achievement. “Two years ago we were young and couldn’t win, didn’t know how,” Ianniello said. “Last year, middle of the road. But this year, through lots of work, these girls learned how to win. They can all be very proud. I am.”

Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick calls for common sense By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

It’s time for a change — and some fresh thoughts — in Albany. And Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick hopes the voters in her state senate district will start that change right here by tapping her to fill the seat once held by Todd Kaminsky. The Republican plans to do that through her continued campaign focusing on affordability and cost of living, with the hope that development — and jobs — will alleviate the issue. “To bring jobs to the community, to improve on our affordable housing, I think there could be tax incentives that could be put together through the state,” CanzoneriFitzpatrick told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable event. “People that I’ve spoken to throughout my district, they’ve talked about the fact that they can’t afford their rents. The last thing we want is people homeless. The last thing we want is people homeless and on the street.” While acknowledging that funding to affordable housing programs would cost money, she hopes to offset the cost by eliminating wasteful spending elsewhere. “The tax-and-spend attitude that we’ve had up in Albany has to change,” Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said. Crime also has been a hot topic among Long Island voters, with the Malverne village trustee calling for even more changes to recent attempts at bail reform. “Yes, there was a need to tweak what we had. I would absolutely acknowledge that,” she said. “There were certain people that fell through the cracks with devastating consequences. We needed to look at that. But they went too far. We’ve got to peel it back. We’ve got to come back to some common sense.” Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick stressed the need to give judges

And she hopes to champion that approach as a member of the state senate. discretion over bail to keep repeat offenders off the streets. She also suggested expanding the list of crimes for which judges could enforce paid bail. But Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick also links guns with crime. The Republican supports modest restrictions on firearms, but also emphasizes the problem of the so-called “iron pipeline” by which guns flow from parts of the country with lax gun laws to the Northeast. “There’s no reason to have assault rifles available to people,” she said. “I don’t see that as a need without infringing on people’s Second Amendment right. I think

there are already in place reasonable restrictions and processes for people to get legal guns. “I think that we have to look at where the gun is coming from, and you have to stop that. I do think there is federal help that needs to be given to this.” But if we look at guns, we also have to look at mental health, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said, suggesting increased funding for mental health services. In particular, she advocated for such expanded services in schools. And speaking of schools: “I think the SUNY system is probably the most economical program that I’m aware of, even compared to other states programs. I don’t see that the legislature could do more.” While Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is open to targeted programs that might relieve debt for those who enter service professions, she generally disapproves of debt forgiveness as a concept. As for reproductive rights, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick declared it a non-issue. “A woman’s right to an abortion is set already in New York,” she said. “There’s nothing that I can do to change that. There’s nothing that the governor elected could do to change that. I don’t see that the current legislature (could do) more to change that. “It’s not an issue. It shouldn’t be an issue. People are making it an issue, and that’s ignorant, and that’s insulting to the constituents to make it an issue. However, the law that’s in place — if it were to come up to be voted on — I would not vote to change it.”

Moore stresses fiscal responsibility in Albany By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

With a long career in union leadership and village government, Ken Moore will be the first to argue his hands-on approach to tackling problems will best serve the people he wants to represent in the state senate. Running for Todd Kaminsky’s former seat, the Democrat marks affordability as his chief concern if elected to office, which he looks to address thanks to his record of fiscal responsibility. Moore runs a tight ship as mayor of Bellerose, touting a record he says saves taxpayers from redundant and wasteful spending. As mayor, he’s cut the number of village employees, instead relying on cheaper contracted workers — and Nassau County itself — for services. “Our costs are much lower from what it was years ago,” Moore told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable session. “I think there’s a lot of wasteful money being spent out there. I’m very, very hands-on.” Moore has also suggested that revenues from downstate casino licensing and taxes on the legal sale of marijuana can help offset many of those tax burdens. Moore has also proposed ways of handling other hotbutton issues and expenditures, like education. He approves of student loan forgiveness, and suggests on the state level a targeted tuition voucher program for young people who pursue careers in fields with worker shortages — like education itself. When it comes to crime and bail reform, however, Moore acknowledges mistakes were made. And yes, by his own party. “It certainly has to be opened up and discussed again, without a doubt,” he said. “The crime seems to be out of control. Judges, I think, definitely need a lot more discretion on how they impose (bail decisions) on these indi-

Anyone who’s going to push someone onto subway tracks for no reason is not in their right state of mind”. Moore wants to expand state funding for mental health care, suggesting broader services at facilities like

Creedmoor Psychiatric Center. When it comes to guns, Moore says he supports statelevel restrictions on assault weapons, expanded background checks for gun purchases, and restrictions on concealed firearms. “There’s no reason why we need an AK-47 to go hunting,” Moore said. “I understand people like to have guns, but there needs to be better background checks. I don’t like the idea of people walking around legally with a concealed weapon.” Moore is far from an anti-gun hardliner however. Indeed, he’s suggested taking another look at so-called gun-free zones. “The areas where they’re not allowed to carry guns, that seems to be the areas, for me, where I want people to carry guns,” Moore said, citing specific areas like Times Square in Manhattan. In-line with this reasoning, Moore remains open to the idea of armed security officers outside schools. “I’m certainly not against it,” he said. “I would really entertain I don’t know why they wouldn’t, personally. They’re the person that’s trained.” Moore also argued that gun permitting and training for retired law enforcement officers are too onerous. “Someone who’s been trained for 30 years on how to carry a gun, shoot a gun and handle a gun, is no longer legally allowed to carry the gun,” Moore said. “He or she has to go for additional training every year so they can carry a gun. To me, that just makes no sense whatsoever.”

The rock legends visit Long Island with ex-Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner on their current tour. Pioneering the heavy metal style while providing inspiration to psychedelic jam bands and arena rockers alike, the genre-bending band offers a taste of the wild side. They’ve been known to incorporate elements of science-fiction and dark occultism into their jaw-dropping live show, and this allegiance to dynamic and masterful performances has led to the group being covered by everyone from Metallica and HIM to moe. Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success.

Bring on the Let’s talk turkey By Karen Bloom ow that the candyfest (aka Halloween), spooky outings and fall fairs are behind us, the holiday season kicks into high gear. And that means it’s time to think about that upcoming feast. We’ve all heard about this year’s turkey shortage, so doing some advance prep is a smart move. Everyone strives for the “Perfect Thanksgiving.” It can be anything you want it to be: so traditional it makes you homesick, or so creative and nouvelle that it results in special new Thanksgiving memories for all who attend. Still, certain traditions remain. Especially the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal: turkey. If there is one annual event where the same succulent dishes are demanded by diners, it is Thanksgiving. What would this celebration be without the smell of roast turkey wafting through the house? What would “Uncle Jim” say if he could not slather cranberry sauce over the top of the brown meat? There must be gravy and mashed potatoes! And stuffing! These are the dishes that make Thanksgiving a memorable repast.

Roast Turkey with Cranberry Fruit Dressing Turkey: • 14-16 pound whole turkey, fresh or frozen (thawed) • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 2 medium onions, chopped • 16 ounces jellied cranberry sauce • 1/3-cup light brown sugar

Remove giblet (discard liver), neck and any visible fat from turkey; reserve for stock. Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels. Season inside and outside of turkey with salt and pepper. Tie drumsticks together and twist wing tips behind the back. Place turkey, breast side up, on a wire roasting rack (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) in shallow pan. Cover loosely with foil. Roast turkey in a preheated 325-degree F oven about 2-1/2 hours, basting with pan juices. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook onions with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until very soft. (If onions begin to brown, lower heat.) Stir in cranberry sauce and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove foil and pour glaze over bird. Continue to roast ½ to 1-¼ hours or until the thermometer registers 180-degree F in the thigh and 170-degree F in the breast. Remove turkey from oven. Allow turkey to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.

sauce, sage, thyme and turkey broth. Coat a 2-quart oven-proof dish with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Spoon dressing in dish and bake uncovered at 325-degree F for 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-degree F.

Dressing: • 3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix • 2 cups mixed dried fruit, chopped • 1 cup celery, chopped • 2/3 cup onion, chopped • 1 cup whole cranberry sauce • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage • 1/2 teaspoon thyme • 1-1/2 cups turkey broth or reduced-sodium chicken bouillon • Vegetable cooking spray

Wash off the cranberries and look for any that may be past their prime and discard. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the cranberries and allow the water to return to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to cook until the cranberries burst. Stir until the mixture resembles a thick sauce with chunks of fruit. Allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken as it cools further.

In medium-size bowl combine stuffing mix, dried fruit, celery, onion, cranberry

Classic Cranberry Sauce This year skip the canned cranberry jelly and go for fresh sauce. It’s very easy to make. • 1 cup water or orange juice (or pomegranate juice) • 1 cup sugar • 4 cups fresh cranberries

She’s a celebrity fitness personality. A journalist. A championship boxer no stranger to a fight. But what Cara Castronuova really wants, for the first time, is to claim victory for the very first time, throwing her hat in the political ring against an incumbent heavyweight in hopes of winning a seat on the Assembly. Although she describes herself as a lifelong Democrat, the 42-year-old is instead trying to pave her way to Albany as a Republican. Her recent party shift came in the wake of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, moving to denounce Cuomo’s supposedly draconian restrictions that led to the forced closure of businesses. To that end, Castronuova spearheaded the “New York Liberate” movement, advocating for those who were Governor “injured” by vaccination and being mandated to wear Gobernador face masks.

Decade after Sandy, officials want to be prepared mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

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

NASSAu CouNtY ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman delivers remarks on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, joined by Tatum Fox, Steve Rhoads, Anthony D’Esposito, Rabbi Shalom Axelrod, and the Rev. John Tutone. Behind them are Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Emerson Lucatorto and Liz Ryan of the Nassau County Police Department. Island, Blakeman ran an emergency drill through his executive management office. “We had people thinking outside the box, working together as partners to make sure that people in Nassau County were safe,” Ryder said. “That’s the message and lessons that we’ve learned from Sandy. We know the next one will come, but we will be better prepared.” Fire Marshal Mike Uttaro looked back at the actual Sandy response, remembering the camaraderie. “We worked with teams we’ve never had before,” he said. “We had fire departments from the Adirondacks coming down in shifts to help the fire departments of the South Shore.” That was a team that included Richard Corbett, now

the emergency management office commissioner. “It was like a snow storm of concrete,” Corbett said. “It’s not the sand you walk in when you first get off the boardwalk. It’s the rock-hard sand down by the water, that you yell at your kids for throwing at each other.” With all the looking to the past, elected leaders like Blakeman have to keep a constant eye on the future. Especially when there are other storms — maybe not at Sandy levels — but storms like the remnants of Hurricane Ian last year can be just as devastating. “Three things keep me up at night,” Blakeman said. “Blizzards, active shooters and hurricanes. So, on two hours notice, I ran an emergency drill at the OEM Center. And I have to tell you, I felt a lot better.”

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — November 3, 2022

19 StudentS were awarded citations by Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages for their completion of the Student Ambassadors Program and were treated to lunch at the Guggin Café and Grill in Elmont.

Kepherd Daniel/Herald

Students learned ins and outs of business Continued from front page The program provided the 11 students with business management skills that they said will help them in the future. “It was a great opportunity to learn and improve my skills of communication and overall learned a bunch of things,” Mondy Olivier, a junior at Elmont High School, said. “At Belimage they showed me everything from graphic design to customer service. A2Z Automasters showed how to interact with customers. It really showed me how everything has to do with how you speak to people and how you work. The most fun parts were meeting new

people, and they gave me advice about life. It was a great experience and it was definitely something that I’m glad that I did.” Elmont High School senior Kimone Walker said she was thankful for the program and the lessons learned. “We learned more about the business experience and pursuing your passion,” Walker said. “Pursuing your passion, however, you need to have those for your dreams to be successful. Overall, the program was very informative.” Many of the students said that the program helped them decide what they want to do after high school. “I was very unsure about what I wanted to do in the

future before I joined the program, but now that I’ve completed the program, I feel like I’ve learned a lot more about hard work and perseverance and believing in yourself,” Dorah Naisssant, a junior at Elmont High School, said. “I always thought that I had to go through a specific career path, and I feel like this program allowed me to learn about new ones and to keep my options open.” Following the success of the ambassadors program, Forbes said she is looking for more ways to help the community and to grow the program by including even more students. Forbes said that there is a waiting list of 19 students and she wants to expand from Elmont into Floral Park, New Hyde Park and Valley Stream.

Elks host open house New York Elks Lodge No. 1 held its open house on Sunday Oct. 23, to inform the community of just “what the Elks do.” The lodge set up 15 tables for each committee, which were each assembled by members of the lodge. The open house was designed to showcase the different committees, what they

do for the Elks, and what they do for the community. Elks members spent hours setting up the event. “The room looked great,” Elks publicity chairman John Nuzzi said, “and a number of applications were handed out to those that were interested.” —Kepherd Daniel

Time to replace the kitchen

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

e haven’t heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris recently. We heard and saw plenty from Harris during the 2020 campaign season, as well as during President Biden’s tumultuous first year. She was initially warmly received, but her approval ratings tanked along with the president’s. Perhaps Harris’s most notable moment was when she told Guatemalan migrants, “Do not come” to the United States. That only continued her ratings’ downward trend. And yet as pubMICHAEL lic opinion of the presidency MALASZCZYK Biden has generally improved in recent months, we still haven’t heard a peep from the vice president. Think about it. What does the vice president actually do? You probably learned in history class that he (and now she) presides over the Senate. And that’s about it. There’s nothing in the Constitution spelling out vice presidential duties except for wielding a gavel during Senate proceedings and, of course, becoming president if the president dies or resigns, which doesn’t happen much.

N

Yet it seems noteworthy that we haven’t heard from Harris much. We didn’t hear a lot from Mike Pence in the Trump years, either. So the question is: After a few administrations in which vice presidents took on larger roles, is the vice presidency returning to its original role of being, well, meaningless? We first have to understand the history of both the original role and the more recent model. The vice presidency was originally a job that had no relevance unless the president died, and the candidate was chosen as an ideological balance of the president in order to win the election. You probably can’t name many vice presidents, and those you can most likely either became president themselves or were in office more recently. John Adams, the country’s first vice president under George Washington, hated the job, calling it “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived.” Thomas Marshall, V.P. under Woodrow Wilson, once joked that a woman had two sons: One of them went to sea, the other became vice president and neither was ever heard from again. John Nance Garner, who was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first vice president, said the office was “not worth a bucket of warm spit.”

I

That changed in 1940. Roosevelt and Garner had a falling out, and FDR replaced Garner with a former cabinet secretary, Henry A. Wallace. Wallace had lots of government experience. Other vice presidents had been qualified too, but Wallace made the office into something more, given executive oversight over several committees and going on speaking tours nationwide. He was referred to by newspapers of the time as the “assistant president.” The vice presidency was changing. The Democratic Party replaced Wallace with Harry Truman in 1944, and Truman and Roosevelt never hit it off like Wallace and FDR did, but future vice presidents built on the Wallace model. Dwight Eisenhower’s second in command, Richard Nixon, had even more responsibilities than Wallace. Lyndon Johnson was John F. Kennedy’s liaison to the wings of the Democratic Party that Kennedy had trouble connecting with, and then Hubert Humphrey served in that same role for Johnson. While Spiro Agnew, Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller didn’t have memorable vice presidencies, Walter Mondale took the role to new heights, and got an office in the White House. George H.W.

t seems that vice presidential momentum has come to a screeching halt.

Bush, Dan Quayle, Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Joe Biden all served as top confidants and advisers to their presidents, and maintained high national profiles. Then vice presidential momentum slowed with Pence, and came to a screeching halt with Harris. It seems that both Trump and Biden chose their running mates based more on the electoral disadvantages the top men had than their need for a good second-incommand. Trump never had a particular use for Pence, but needed him on the ticket to appeal to the more traditional wing of the Republican Party. Biden was thinking the same way, but about the less traditional wing of the Democratic Party. Neither was much concerned about who could best serve as their No. 2, and Biden’s diversity-related blind spot made Harris the right choice — but he apparently has little need for whatever she can bring to the table as a leader. All of this raises the question, after two lackluster V.P.s — unless something changes dramatically during the balance of the Biden administration — is the vice presidency returning to its historical role of being little more than a campaign pitch? Will we get an “assistant president” again any time soon? Michael Malaszczyk is a Herald reporter covering Wantagh and Seaford. Comments about this column? mmalaszczyk@ liherald.com.

An election that will move heaven and earth

ext Tuesday, the heavens will offer us an unusual astronomical spectacle: A lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red during the very early hours of the day, as our celestial neighbor moves into the earth’s shadow. Next Tuesday is also Election Day, the 2022 midterms. This, too, promises to be an unusual event, with America teetering on its democratic foundation as forces social and political threaten to pull us apart. I couldn’t have imagined writing those words five RANDI years ago, but the KREISS earth is tilting on its axis in new and frightening ways. With the blood moon in sight, I hold two thoughts in my head at the same time. First, the election seems hyperconsequential. Everything — our freedoms, our privacy rights, our separation of church and state — seem to be riding on the choice of elected offices, from governorships to judges and from senators to representatives. As we draw closer to voting day, the urgency grows

more intense, the ads flood the internet and airwaves, and every word out of every candidate’s mouth is parsed and studied and defined for us by a ginnedup media. Every debate is a high-wire act. Fringe actors aligned with QAnon and other seriously crazy groups are emboldened to push the limits of civility and then step over the line. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, QAnon is an “umbrella term for a sprawling spiderweb of right-wing internet conspiracy theories with antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ elements.” Its power and efficacy are in play, and it has followers in the GOP, both in and out of office. What hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Only our rights to reproductive freedom. Only the ability to go to the polls without being harassed and threatened. Only the assurance that enough people still care about democracy to vote their conscience. Only the knowledge that most voters condemn racism and antisemitism when they see it. Only the peace of mind of knowing that officeseekers who traffic in lies will be defeated by a savvy electorate. As we go to press, the atmosphere is

W

supercharged, with the Jan. 6 insurgency fresh in our minds and an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home in the headlines. Like her or not, the woman is a rock. At 82, she survived the invasion of the Capitol just 21 months ago. Last Friday, a violent intruder broke into her home, calling, “Where’s Nancy?” He beat her husband with a hammer before being subdued. Somehow she is still standing, but the attack has poisoned the political atmosphere. The internet is crawling with extremist websites and incitements to violence in the name of authoritarian principles and leaders. How does the average voter figure out who are the truth-tellers and who are the unprincipled power players? How do we who support our democracy make our way through this? This is a tough time to face an election, either as a candidate or as a voter. Some days if feels overwhelming. When I feel overwhelmed, the other thought I summon is a calming one. Yes, the election is important, but the next day, whoever wins, the sun will still rise.

hat hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Almost too much to enumerate.

Those of us who find our hearts pounding with anxiety at the possible ascendancy of the former president and his acolytes must look past the moment. We can’t sustain high anxiety and remain productive and healthy. We go with the flow of history and do our jobs as best we can to support the decent people who want to serve. However the voters decide, I plan to get up before dawn and find the moon sailing across the sky. I hope to see some of the eclipse before the sun comes up on Election Day. Feet on the ground, I will hold onto the thought that our time here is brief. It would be good to leave this planet healthier and its people wiser than before we arrived, but our options are limited. The rarest of astronomical events is the total aligning of all the planets. The last time it happened was 949, and the next time will be 2492. Our lives are so small in terms of the universe that we are 1,073 years late for the first planetary alignment and 470 years too early for the next. What happens next Tuesday may change our lives, but over the arc of time, this election season is a blip on the celestial map. Deep breath. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

Making ‘affordable’ housing actually affordable

l

ooking to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Nassau County? Expect to pay a little more than $2,000 per month. Except for many, that expectation just isn’t realistic. To afford an apartment like that with healthy finances — meaning spending no more than 30 percent of your total income on housing expenses — a tenant would need to make over $39 per hour, or $81,400 per year. Even if that cost were split between two people, both would have to earn about $5 per hour above minimum wage in Nassau County, and work fulltime jobs. This might seem like a new problem to many, but affordable housing has been trouble for a long time. And we’re still waiting for the right legislative recipe to help get us on the right track. And it needs to come soon. The annual report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition reveals that while just 20 percent of Nassau households are rentals, that still accounts for more than 86,000 units. The typical hourly wage of these renters, however, is just above minimum wage, meaning they need to rent for much less — like $800. Paying for housing, for the very people who need it, would require them to work 2.6 full-time jobs — quite literally nearly every waking hour. Only a few places in

New York are worse: Rockland and Putnam counties, along with Staten Island would require three full-time jobs, and Suffolk is in the same boat as Nassau. Affordable housing means something we can pay for while still having money left over for all the other necessities in life. You know, like food, medical care, getting around. To make that work best, the federal government has determined that just 30 percent of a household’s income should go to housing expenses. Unfortunately, what people are making — and what they are asked to pay to live somewhere like Nassau County — just isn’t adding up. And it needs to. Yet it’s not from a lack of effort. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have made genuine efforts to create more affordable living. Their ideas for ways to achieve that goal might be different, but the outcome has been the same: affordable housing becomes mandatory in multifamily projects. And that’s good. What isn’t good is that once we hear “affordable,” we think the problem is solved. But it’s not — the variables used to determine affordability are far too broad, and cross over too much disparity in income. That means that wealthier households artificially inflate the income of a region, meaning that “affordable” rents are much higher rate than they should be.

For example, Nassau’s area median income is $129,900 — joined with Suffolk as the highest in New York. But that calculation encompasses 450,000 households — which include a handful whose income is well above $25 million. Most households are nowhere near that. Not even close. So trying to determine affordability with those kinds of incomes just isn’t fair. If we want to truly address affordable housing, area median income calculations are precisely where we need to start. These variables are far too broad, and need to be far more community-based. Real estate brokers rely heavily on “comps” — comparable prices of similar homes in the same neighborhood. Imagine if those comps were countywide. The housing market would grind to a halt. Sure, one alternative to renting is buying. Owning a home is the dream of so many — but is not always achievable. Housing prices have outpaced wages, and let’s not forget rising mortgage interest rates brought on by inflation. A solid economy depends on affordability, and there is no greater potential hit to affordability than housing costs. As we get ready to cast our ballots, choosing who will represent us locally, in Albany and in Washington, let’s look for the best ideas to keep Nassau not only beautiful, but affordably livable.

is overly obsessed with Donald Trump. Apparently when she has nothing to write about, she can always bring him up in negative ways. She is very good at name-calling. She may not agree with Republican agendas, but calling those people run-

ning for office political boogeymen and women shows she has no respect for those whose values are different from hers. EILEEN CUOMO West Hempstead

rarely make snap judgments, because I don’t think it’s fair to the party who is the subject of my attention. I have known Donald Trump personally, and on three occasions I was his counsel. Professional standards do not allow me to talk about the subject of our relationship, so I will refrain from saying anything about business. But watching Trump’s actions over the past few years has driven me to say that no president has ever soiled the dignity of the White House as JerrY has he. I have no doubt kremer that the former president will seek another term in the White House. His hunger for power has no limits, and he learned over the course of four years that a president can get away with just about anything. Almost every day of the week there is a story detailing how, in one way or another, he bent the rules to serve his agenda. A recent House committee report described how the Trump organization overcharged the country

to house Secret Service personnel. That was just a $1.4 million drop in the bucket. Any discussion of the Trump experience has to start with the Charlottesville, Virginia, demonstrations in August 2017. Hundreds of anti-Black and anti-Jewish ralliers paraded Ku Klux Klan-style on their way to a Unite the Right event. The following day, when a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters, a woman was killed. Afterward, Trump stated that “there were very fine people on both sides.” That was his wink-wink to the neo-Nazi, neo-fascist, white supremacist nation. Fast-forward to the weeks and months after the November 2020 election. Unable to accept his loss, Trump worked closely with lawyers and sycophants in an effort to prevent the results from being certified. No president in the history of this country has ever tried to stop an election from being certified with false delegate slates. At least members of the Trump legal team are facing the possibility of criminal charges recommended by a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury.

Let’s move on to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Numerous former Trump administration officials have testified under oath that Trump made no efforts to stop the marauding crowd from smashing its way into the Capitol and desecrating its halls. Four people died during that riot, and five law enforcement officers died in its aftermath. Despite pleas by Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, among others, the president refused to call the National Guard to end the melee. How about the sitting grand jury in Georgia? There are few people who haven’t heard the recording of Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state, asking him to find “11,700 more votes,” which would have overturned President Biden’s win in Georgia. It is a fact that such calls are specific violations of the state’s election laws, which prohibit any attempts to undermine election results. No one knows what the grand jury will recommend, but there is little doubt that laws were broken. The media have reported countless stories about the classified documents

ven Richard Nixon had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid jail.

To the Editor: New York State elections are secure and reliable. The election process is administered by a bipartisan team of election workers. Workers representing both major parties oversee ballot counting, a common practice nationwide to provide checks and balances in the election process. Election administrators and poll workers have to be residents of our county. The people who run our elections are not strangers. They are members of our communities — neighbors, friends and family. Every step of our election process is monitored and secured, from the voter registration process to the postelection audit. The voter registration process in New York state ensures that only those meeting state eligibility requirements are able to vote, and it helps keep track of who has cast a ballot. Registered voters can vote early in person, on Election Day in person, or by absentee ballot. All ballots must be returned by mail or in person. Ballots are submitted to election machines that have been pre-approved by the state Board of Elections. Each piece of election equipment is tested before being used on Election Day, and all voting machines are barred from connecting to the internet. Finally, all county boards of elections must conduct post-election audits to further verify results. Whichever way you choose to vote this year, know that by doing so, you are making democracy work.

that found their way to Trump’s Mar-aLago estate. These papers are the property of the people, and not one man. Florida attorneys representing the former president are facing professional misconduct charges because they chose to repeat the lies Trump has told. There is a chance that the case pending in U.S. District Court could result in Trump’s indictment, but no one knows if that will happen. I have followed the actions of presidents dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. Not one of the men who succeeded him has ever had so many potential criminal charges hanging over his head. Richard Nixon was in deep trouble, but he had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid going to jail. The fate of Donald Trump is yet to be decided. He may walk free as a bird, or he may face a historic date in a criminal court, but one thing is certain. There is no way to whitewash our history books, and in the end, they won’t overlook one man’s ugly history.
