She ‘wanted to pay it forward’ Commissioner donates in honor of late wife By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com
F ranklin Square Fire Commissioner Dennis Lyons has donated $10,000 to a scholarship fund created in honor of his late wife, Arlene Lyons, who died last year of cancer. A former officer of the Franklin Square and Mun-
son Fire Department’s women’s auxiliary unit, Lyons was a 23-year member of the department. She died on Oct. 9, 2020. Her husband decided to create a scholarship fund in her name, an oft-repeated gesture made by members of the Fire Department who lose family members. “My wife was very much a person who wanted to help
everybody and pay it forward,” Dennis said. Born in 1948 in West Virginia, Arlene moved to New York City at age 18, and worked at Con Edison for 30 years before becoming a member of the women’s auxiliary. She and Dennis were married for 36 years. Dennis said that his wife CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

The Franklin Square Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2718 is holding a ceremony at Rath Park on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, to honor U.S. veterans. “Come out and show respect,” said VFW Post 2718 Commander John Conway, urging members of the community to attend the ceremony, which he said has received low turnout in recent years. “They did a lot for our country,” said Franklin Square Civic Association Treasurer Frank Culmone, who added that both his father and father-in-law fought in World War II, in France and Africa and Italy, respectively. “Our veterans need recognition because they put their lives on hold and on the line for us and country,” Culmone said. “It’s important to take time to remember them.” The hour-long ceremony will be held near the Rath Park gazebo and September 11 monument at 11:11 a.m., the time when the peace treaty signed between the Allies of World War One and Germany went into effect. “WWII veterans, often called the Greatest Generation, were everyday men and women who put aside families, schooling and jobs to answer the call of duty,” said

Stress less, enjoy more Holidays and kids with special needs
E
ven the most well-adjusted and well-balanced child can get "frazzled" during holiday time. For a child with special needs, the frazzle point can be reached sooner. The fast pace, the noise, the disruption in a regular schedule can add up to too much stimulation. But help is at hand. Planning ahead will make sure that all members of the family enjoy the holiday season and can ward off the possibility of wear and tear. Here are some tips: Prepare in advance Discuss the event you're planning to attend; where it will be, how you're going to get there, who will be there, so that the child will know what to expect and won't have to deal with surprises. If you're having people at your home, set up a safe place for your child to go to if he needs to cool down.
an issue of special clothes if your child feels comfortable in jeans. Don't set up behavioral rules in advance, such as "be sure you shake hands with Uncle ..." Bring activities Bring along some of your child's favorite things - a book, a game - to provide her with a sense of familiarity and allow her to retreat if things become overly stimulating. Plan carefully Avoid attending too many festivities, and allow some cool-down time between events. Organize your schedule with your child's individual temperament in mind; each child's tolerance for stimulation and ability to adapt vary. Give the child a warning before the end of an activity, which gives her a chance to readjust at her own pace.
Set time limits If you're planning to be at a party or gathering or restaurant, set a reasonable time limit and stick to it.
Monitor your child If your child is part of a group of children, watch their interaction so that you can intervene if necessary or if things are getting out of hand.
Pick your battles Don't add to the stress level by expecting your child to look perfect or to behave perfectly. For example: Don't make
Stay calm Your kids will echo your mood. Praise your child. And remember to reward good behavior. ■
Courtesy of NYU Child Study Center. Above photo: To fully enjoy the festive season, we can all benefit by being flexible with our definition of what a holiday should look like. Our childhood traditions and rituals may not work for everyone — and every child. Let’s create new memories and newly define what holidays look like for our own families.

WWII vet celebrates 100th birthday By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com
Herbert Rosenberg, a World War II veteran and prison camp survivor, was honored during his 100th birthday on Saturday at his Cleveland Avenue home, on the Rockville Centre-Oceanside border, by his family, friends and fellow American Legion post members. The parade saw Rockville Centre firefighters, Nassau County police and veterans drive by his home for a salute to Rosenberg. Rosenberg was drafted into the Army in 1942 when he was 20, and he worked his way up to the rank of staff sergeant, becoming a right waist gunner on a B-17 bomber. In 1944, Rosenberg’s aircraft “Punchboard,” of the 452nd Bombardment Group, was shot down by German fighters during a mission over Poznan, Poland, and crashed in Nazi-occupied Denmark. The crew were captured immediately and sent to the Stalag Luft 17 prison camp. During the procession of firetrucks, police cars and motorcycles, Rosenberg teared up. Attendees also sang “God Bless America” and “Happy Birthday” to Rosenberg. A World War II Jeep and truck brought up the rear of the procession. “It’s very emotional,” Herb’s son Bob Rosenberg said. “For many years growing up, he never spoke about his experiences, and it was only after the past 20 years or so that he opened up about it.” The Rosenberg extended family celebrated their Thanksgiving dinner after the ceremonies, since it was one of the first times during the pandemic when they could all be together. They were extremely careful around Herb, donning masks in close proximity to him to keep him safe. Frank Colon, the post commander of Rockville Centre American Legion Post 303, helped organize the event for his neighbor and fellow post member. He also spoke about the many incredible experiences of just listening to Rosenberg’s story. “He’s an inspiration,” Colon said. “He’s like a treasure chest of history of this country, which we need to continue.” A 48-star flag, hung over the porch of Rosenberg’s house, was originally to be used for a planned parade for the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II, before the pandemic forced it to be canceled. Rosenberg was to be an honoree at that parade. “I’m in tears,” Rosenberg said. “I never

I hear ‘thank you for your service’ all the time, but being here with family and neighbors, I break down and cry a little bit.” “We all suffered,” Rosenberg said. “I lost three years of my life in the service and as a prisoner of war, but I’m happy now. I’m here with my friends, neighbors and family, and I can’t ask for more.” A Queens native, Rosenberg spent 15 months in harsh conditions at the camp before German guards abandoned all prisoners in a forest near the camp, where they were eventually rescued by American soldiers and returned home. After returning stateside, Rosenberg attended pharmacy school, married his wife, Barbara, and settled in the area in the mid-1950s. He opened a pharmacy in East Rockaway. In 2016, Rosenberg was awarded a prisoner of war medal from the Department of Defense recognizing his survival in the camp as a Jewish-American soldier. Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray and trustees Katie Conlon and Emilio Grillo presented Rosenberg with a village proclamation thanking him for his service.
THE PARADE FOR Rosenberg’s 100th birthday included two World War II-era American vehicles.

New York Islanders donate turkeys to food banks The New York Islanders partnered with Stop & Shop on its annual Turkey Express program as the supermarket donated 1,000 Thanksgiving turkeys each to Island Harvest Food Bank and Long Island Cares, Inc.- The Harry Chapin Food Bank. Several Islanders alumni assisted in the donation - Huntington resident and NHL Hall of Famer, Clark Gillies; Brightwaters resident and Islander defenseman, Eric Cairns; and Steve Webb, a former Islanders forward.

Both
food banks serve approximately 300,000 individuals on Long Island each year. “Hunger is a year-round problem on Long Island that has unfortunately increased because of the pandemic and the region’s high cost of living. However, no one should experience the harsh reality of hunger, especially children,” said Randi Shubin Dresner, president and CEO, Island Harvest Food Bank. “We are grateful to Stop & Shop and the New York Islanders for their generosity and longstanding partnership in helping to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors struggling to feed their families, not just during the holidays, but throughout the year.”

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show structural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.
Ask The Architect
You need the whole story without the sales onte eeper part. Just like any purchase, issues you might not expect are still important, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultraviolet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced many issues with their construction.
M
PIPING & HEATING CORP. $
Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful.
L
Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move. This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time. We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the specific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up. I looked at a two-year-old system while discussing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way. You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater.

OPINIONS
t’s rare that you get the chance to meet your professional heroes, so when one of mine, former Newsday environmental reporter Dan Fagin, now the director of NYU’s graduate Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program, recently came to Hofstra University to give an hourlong talk on his seminal book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation,” I had to attend. His 462-page masterwork, published by Bantam, recounts the decades-long history of industrialSCOTT waste mismanagement and malfeaBRINTON sance in Toms River, N.J., a seaside community of about 94,000 an hour and a half south of New York City. I read the book shortly after it was published in 2014, and ever since, I had hoped to meet Fagin, now 58, of Sea Cliff. Toms River is known for its high rate of childhood cancers, in particular leukemia among girls under 5, from the early 1970s through the 2000s. Government reports attribute the spike, at least in part, to the “public health hazards” posed by widespread soil and water contamination at a now-closed Ciba-Geigy chemical plant and a massive,
I
illegal toxic-waste dump at Reich Farm, which has been cleaned up, but only came under consideration for removal from the federal Superfund Site list this year. Both the plant and the dump tainted local drinkingwater wells, according to the New Jersey Department of Health. In “Toms River,” Fagin details the sordid events that spread a witch’s brew of carcinogens among the good people of this otherwise safe community, which has a reputation for patriotism, a vibrant civic culture and a deep love of Little League baseball. Toms River reminds me of so many Long Island coastal communities — earnest, hard-working, conservativeleaning but not extreme in its political views, inhabited by professionals and bluecollar workers alike. And, as is the case in more than one Long Island community, innocent residents there were forced to cope with an industrial disaster not of their making. From 2001 to 2005, I reported on Freeport Power Plant No. 2, which for three decades had spewed unfiltered exhaust from its two 13,000-horsepower diesel ship engines into surrounding communities. I walked door to door in the neighborhoods around the plant, asking people whether someone in their homes had had or died of cancer, or whether they knew of any local people stricken by
W
the disease. In house after house in the Old Lindenmere neighborhood of Merrick, people reported that someone — or multiple people — in their homes had battled cancer or died from it, with many afflicted at young ages. In one case, an entire family of four had succumbed to unusual cancers. I could never call the neighborhood a “cancer cluster,” a designation that required confirmation through years of study to determine whether the cancer cases people reported were a random pattern — an accident of nature, if you will — or were tied to an industrial pollutant such as diesel exhaust, found by scientists to be among the most carcinogenic substances in the world. I worried about my reporting: Was I unnecessarily scaring people? Once I had begun, however, I quickly realized I couldn’t stop until the plant was shut down. Otherwise, residents would have lived in constant fear, and many potential homebuyers might have avoided the area, depressing housing prices. I wrote 44 stories, and thanks largely to then State Sen. Charles Fuschillo Jr., Long Island Power Authority Chairman Richard Kessel, and Merrick civic activists Joe Kralovich and Bob Young, the plant was closed in March 2002 and replaced in September 2005 by a clean-burning natural-gas
hen it comes to health crises, it’s not that far from Toms River, N.J., to Freeport.
plant that included pollution controls. The old plant, grandfathered from the Clean Air Act of 1970 because it was completed in 1969, had none. I had a question for Fagin: Should journalists pursue such stories through anecdotal reporting, despite the lack of an official cancer-cluster designation? I was heartened by his answer: Journalists mustn’t ignore such stories. We must be honest with our audiences about “the lack of evidence” — that is, the dearth of state and federal data to back people’s assertions — but we should press forward. Whew! I was hoping he’d say that. Two decades later, I know that pursuing the power plant story was the right thing to do. On Oct. 22, 2001, I snapped a photo of 9-year-old Tyler Seaman, of Old Lindenmere, clutching two candles at a vigil outside a state public hearing over Plant No. 2’s operating permit. The photo appeared on the front page of the Oct. 25-Oct. 31 Merrick and Bellmore Heralds, and I included Tyler’s comments from the hearing in the story. “I am afraid every day that I will not see another day,” he said. In 2006, Tyler learned he had chordoma, a rare bone cancer that lodges at the base of the skull or in the spine. He died in 2010, at 18.

To sleep, perchance to pop awake again
n my hopeful search for common ground between the political and cultural forces of the far right and the far left, I have pretty much come up empty. Until now. After much consideration and not that much scientific research (since so many people don’t believe in it anyway), I realize that what many of us have in common is sleeplessness. I generally don’t ask friends how they sleep, but more and more often, someone mentions that their sleep has RANDI changed during KREISS and post-pandemic, if we even are “post,” which is part of the problem. I imagine that folks on the right are up at night worrying about the big money the Dems want to spend. Some tell me they think that, if the Build Back Better bills pass, the money will be mismanaged or disappear into a maze of inefficient government programs. I hear fears that undeserving people will get a “free ride” and others will have to pay their tab. They think about President Biden’s age and
wonder if he can lead us in the world. Who will pay for it all? they ask. Some Republicans resist vaccine mandates and mask mandates, believing their civil liberties are being violated. They stay up at night worrying about what their kids are being taught in school. Yeah, it’s enough to keep you tossing and turning. I know what folk on the left are thinking, because that’s where I stand, although I am losing patience with the far left and finding myself drifting to the center. No wonder we can’t sleep: We’re all floating. I worry that resistance to Covid vaccine mandates will perpetuate a chronic pandemic, unleashing unknowable variants. I think the Dems, addicted to infighting, will lose a one-time opportunity to pass legislation this session that would truly help people with child care and elder care and medical coverage. Here is the chance to repair roads and bridges and outdated schools. The Dems have failed miserably in communicating the good stuff in these bills, while perseverating publicly on everything that will be left out of a compromise package. I so believe in what they’re doing, but their message isn’t reso-
N
nating with voters. One commentator advised the Dems to stop giving us the detailed recipe for what you’re baking and let us taste the brownies! The other stuff I worry about is, oh, basic things like no one can agree on facts or the truth or whether or not John F. Kennedy Jr. is really dead or when the last election will be overthrown. We haven’t even touched on gender rights and racial equality and climate change, and why anti-Semitism is surging across America. Last night I lay awake thinking about the fact that hundreds of QAnon followers gathered in Dallas last week to greet JFK Jr., who has been dead since 1999. They believed that he would appear and help Donald Trump become president again. How can you sleep when this kind of aberrational thinking is gaining traction? So, can we agree that wherever we sit on the political and cultural spectrum, our worries are keeping us up at night? In the world of sleep science, five major disorders are recognized: insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, narcolepsy and REM sleep disorder. I am describing
o matter your politics, it seems, you’ve got plenty to worry about.
something new that blossomed with the pandemic and now feels as chronic as the uncertainty with which we live. Back in 2020, once I realized that Covid19 would not be a two- or three-week sprint, my sleep changed. I would fall asleep because I was emotionally exhausted and then I would pop awake, and this would go on for hours. When I woke in the morning, my heart would be racing. I’ve learned some breathing techniques and other ways to talk myself down and relax. But I don’t sleep as peacefully as I once did. When I pop awake these days, I read a boring science article or an underwhelming book. No middle-of-the-night crosswords, bridge, Words With Friends or checking out the morning newspapers. Eventually, I sleep. So, for my friends worried about Biden and his programs, and my friends worried about the insurrection of Jan. 6 and the resurrection of a former president, watch your alcohol, caffeine and nicotine intake in the evening, get into a regular bedtime routine, exercise during the day, and if you pop awake, read or do some other quiet activity until you feel sleepy. See a doctor if symptoms persist, or if you think you saw John Junior on the grassy knoll last week. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Think green — clean your vehicle at a car wash
B
ravo to New York state voters for overwhelmingly passing a ballot referendum last week adding wording to the New York Constitution’s Bill of Rights guaranteeing the right to clean water, air and a healthful environment. The measure passed with nearly 70 percent of the vote. Some 1.9 million New Yorkers voted for it, while roughly 860,000 voted against it. Clearly, New Yorkers were signaling that, yes, they care about the environment, and yes, they would like to protect it. Here’s the challenge: It’s one thing to put to paper that you care about the environment. It’s another thing entirely to act, day in and day out, in a manner that actually protects the environment. Each of our daily actions — many of them seemingly small — can either contribute to protecting our environment or potentially do irrevocable harm. Take washing your car, for example. How you wash it can have a profound effect on the environment, particularly the wetlands that hug Long Island’s shores. Here we must pause and offer high praise to the Village of Garden City, which in 2013 became one of the few local municipalities to prohibit residents from cleaning their cars on their own properties. It’s a critical local ordinance. Washing your car in your driveway damages the environment, because everything that is washed from it streams into the storm drains —

letters The people spoke at the ballot box To the Editor: Voters nationwide sent a message to our elected leaders on Nov. 2, reminding them that they do, in fact, work for us, not the other way around. The pushback put a stop to multiple socialist agendas via the power of the vote. Here are important takeaways from the election: ■ Parents should have a voice in how their children are educated. The people spoke loud and clear. Just ask Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. Even former President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, former U.S. Rep. Stacey Abrams of Georgia and President Biden himself couldn’t sway that vote. ■ We are not a racist nation, even though socialists keep pushing that false narrative. Now the focus has shifted to calling Black conservatives like Larry Elder and newly elected Winsome Sears the new faces of
from the soap and polish to oil, grease and gasoline — and eventually winds up in the wetlands and bays surrounding the Island. While there are eco-friendly biodegradable soaps, many are poisonous to marine life, often with a host of cancer-causing ingredients, from naphthalene to perchloroethylene and methylene chloride, and the phosphates that several soaps contain accelerate seaweed growth. When the seaweed reaches unnatural lengths, it breaks apart in the saltwater and rots, robbing fish of dissolved oxygen, creating dead zones in local bays. Washing your car by hand also wastes a great deal of water compared with professional car washes, which, as a matter of sound business practice, recycle 90 percent of their water. Additionally, the federal Clean Water Act of 1972 requires car washes to route wastewater to treatment facilities “designed to protect the environment,” according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. To understand the scope of the issue at hand, we point to the Town of Hempstead, which has jurisdiction over the wetlands across Nassau’s South Shore, from Atlantic Beach in the west to Seaford in the east. That’s more than 180 miles of coastline and 17,000 acres of wetlands. Anything that seeps down through the storm drains winds up there. We would encourage any officials in charge of Nassau’s villages, towns and cities to think hard about following Garden
City’s example and prohibit residents from washing their cars in their driveways. The Town of Oyster Bay, which has jurisdiction over wetlands on both the north and south shores, addresses the issue on its Storm Water Runoff and Water Quality website, saying residents should wash their cars on their lawns rather than in their driveways. At least then the wastewater doesn’t wash into the streets, wetlands and bays, the logic goes. The State Department of Environmental Conservation offers the same suggestion. The trouble is, the practice is about as damaging to Long Island’s environment as washing your car in your driveway. Toxins slowly seep through the soil into groundwater and, eventually, the aquifers that we depend on for our drinking water. The aquifers are massive stores of underground water, deposited tens of millions of years ago. Without them we would need to import our drinking water from off Long Island, at an exorbitant cost. Bottom line: Wash your car at a professional car wash. You might pay a little more, but you’ll save yourself precious time, you’ll support an important local business, and you’ll help save the environment. Following this most recent election, we hope our government leaders from across Nassau County will double down on their efforts to protect the environment. We only have one Earth.

OPINIONS
f Election Day 2021 proved anything, it’s that Long Island voters shouldn’t be taken for granted. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran had been told by pollsters, Democratic Party leaders and pundits that she had this. She had attended all the civic meetings, street fairs and news conferences. She was approachable, engaged and empathic. And she spent four years raising campaign cash with the intent of spending all of it to ensure no surprises on election night. RONALD J. What she didn’t hear was the palpaROSENBERG ble anger of homeowners whose property assessments are still way out of whack. Nor could she avoid being on the same ballot with a Democratic district attorney candidate who co-sponsored the state’s bail bill that puts criminals back on the street before the arresting police can return to their patrol cars. For Curran, standing next to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky was more than minor collateral damage. Nor could she control what appears to
be an anemic county Democratic organization that is long on strategic analysis, but short on the ability to get its own supporters out to vote. The Republican candidate, Bruce Blakeman, astutely declined to follow the traditional tactics of a campaign “underdog.” He didn’t attack the incumbent. On any number of occasions, he told audiences that “she is undoubtedly a nice person.” But Blakeman would then methodically examine the policy failings of the Curran administration and let the facts speak for themselves. The voters heard, and responded. Blakeman had a crucial partner: Nassau GOP Chairman Joseph G. Cairo Jr. Quiet, reserved and a veteran of countless election nights, Cairo has the unique ability to intuitively spot political trends, recruit candidates who resonate with voters and, perhaps most important, pay attention to the grassroots mechanics of motivating voters to leave their homes on chilly, rainy November nights and head to the polls. While much coverage has been devoted to Blakeman’s victory, Cairo’s political professionalism reached beyond that single election-night win. North Hempstead,

LETTERS white supremacy. Sears, elected as Virginia’s first female lieutenant governor of color, broke a glass ceiling, yet she didn’t receive a minute’s recognition by mainstream media. The only thing more pathetic was the Lincoln Project attempting to paint Virginia Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin as a white supremacist, and being dumb enough to hire a Black man holding a torch to represent its twisted, lying depiction. ■ The American people do not want to defund the police. That proposal went down in flames wherever it was on the ballot. ■ The people know that inflation has been caused by the Biden agenda. Just go shopping! ■ Hispanics living along the border voted overwhelmingly to secure our borders. ■ The people know that violent crime is on the rise. ■ The people see vaccine mandates being implemented throughout the nation while members of Congress exempt themselves from them. (Just like Obamacare!) ■ The majority of people do not want bail reform. ■ The people see the hypocrisy of the recent climate-change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, that more than 400 private planes flew in to, and Biden’s motorcade in Rome only days earlier had 85 vehicles in it.
a generational Democratic enclave, went Republican, too, with Jennifer DeSena beating Wayne Wink in the race for town supervisor — no small feat given Wink’s longstanding political presence in that township and overwhelming Democratic enrollment. Cairo also knows his political history. He saw how the Nassau County Republican Party of the late 1940s reinvented itself when Long island suburbs became home to Italians, Jews and Irish seeking a place for their families in communities across post-war Long Island. Those ethnicities became the next-generation Republicans. So, it’s no surprise that Cairo nominated Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, a first-time candidate from Great Neck, to run against incumbent Democratic County Legislator Ellen Birnbaum in the 10th District, with Pilip declaring victory last Tuesday night. And just who is this person that Cairo entrusted with this race? Pilip was born in Ethiopia, moved to Israel at age 12, and became an Israel Defense Forces paratrooper and a gunsmith before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy from the University of Haifa and
a master’s in diplomacy and security from Tel Aviv University. The ability to motivate Republican voters to make their voices heard has put two other Democratic Nassau legislative incumbents at risk, with Republican Paolo Pironi ahead of self-proclaimed “independent” Joshua Lafazan, and Republican Daniel Atler leading Democratic Legislator Arnold Drucker by several hundred votes. Absentee ballots may ultimately decide those races, but the tally thus far has certainly given the incumbents a shock. Like meteorologists, pollsters get paid whether they get the forecast right or not. Candidates should view Election Day 2021 as a cautionary tale, as the Nassau GOP wins have sent a shock wave from one end of the state to the other. The victory tally is reminding both parties that, regardless of the latest social media, computer-driven analytics, media endorsements and geo-fencing digital ads, there is no substitute for the type of grass-roots politics practiced by Cairo and the Nassau GOP.

We, the people, have spoken using the power of democracy by voting. I hope this is only the tip of the spear, and the momentum will carry through to the midterms next year. When the media lies, democracy dies. TOM O’CONNOR North Bellmore
A glance at NYC’s subway past To the Editor: On Oct. 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line. It ran nine miles uptown from City Hall on Manhattan’s East Side, across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square, and uptown to 145th Street. It included 28 stations. More than 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare. The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit — today’s B, D, J, M, N, Q, R and Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Franklin Avenue and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector, with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability depended entirely on farebox revenues. These systems supported both the development and the economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

In the 1930s, New York City began construction of the new IND (Independent Subway — today’s A, C, E, F and G lines). This new municipal system, subsidized by taxpayer dollars, provided direct competition to both the IRT and BMT. Municipal government forced them into economic ruin by denying them fare increases that would have provided access to additional revenues. Big Brother, just like the Godfa-
ther, eventually made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. The owners folded and sold out to City Hall. LARRY PENNER Great Neck Penner is transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.
