Antisemitic flyers find way to local doorsteps

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

ANTISEMITIC FLYERS FOUND in a number of other communities in recent weeks have now invaded some Freeport homes.

Several Freeport residents recently awoke to find antisemitic literature spread throughout the community.

The flyers, found Aug. 14, were placed in mailboxes, while others were left on driveways enclosed in a zip-close bag along with white rice. The two-sided document featured several members of President Joseph Biden’s cabinet with the Israeli flag posted besides them.

“Let’s Go Brandon” appears in bold across the top of the front.

The top of the other side of the flyer states, “Every Single Aspect of Gun ConCONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Attorney General halts sale of Cleveland Avenue Park

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The Village of Freeport’s sale of the Cleveland Avenue Field Park for $49 million has been temporarily blocked by a lawsuit brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

Mayor Robert Kennedy and the trustees voted to rezone Cleveland Park from residential to industrial last month during a public hearing immediately following the regular meeting.

Members of the community spoke in opposition to the sale and declaration of surplus stressing the park is essential to the people of the village.

Attorney General James and Philip Bein, the attorney general’s environmental protection counsel, filed an article 78 suit in state Supreme Court in Mineola, challenging Freeport’s sale based on the environmental evaluation process.

According to the lawsuit, the village board determined that the development would have no negative environmental impact without conducting a thorough analysis of the environmental implications. The petition advocates against the project’s elimination of open green space and community recreation areas, as well as increased rainwater, floods, and truck traffic air pollu-

“That action terminated the environmental review of the sale, without the preparation and consideration of an environmental impact statement, and without public notice and public comment on the potentially sig-

nificant adverse environmental impacts of this action,” the petition states. “Because respondents failed to take a “hard look” at these and other adverse impacts, and failed to make a “reasoned elaboration” of the basis of its determination, their negative declaration and approval of the contract should be annulled as arbitrary and capri-

cious and contrary to” the State Environmental Quality Review Act. In July, the trustees approved a deal to sell the land to PDC Northeast LPIV, a 20-month-old company from Delaware for $49 million. PDC Northeast was founded by the Panattoni Development Co. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

AERIAL SHOTS OF extraordinarily high quality, such as this one of Oyster Bay Harbor, can be taken by drones.

A drone’s eye view of history Oyster Bay Historical Society teaching history with drones

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

Oyster Bay residents will soon be noticing something new in the sky over the coming weeks. Drones are giving children an opportunity to learn about both a new technology and the history of the hamlet.

The Oyster Bay Historical Society, whose headquarters are i n t h e E a rl e W i g h t m a n House, at 20 Summit St., has teamed up with Antoine McLean, an actor, producer and drone enthusiast from Freeport, to teach kids ages 8 to 18 how to use drones to learn more about their DENICE community. The society, a nonSHEPPARD profit, was foundDirector, ed in 1960 to preOyster Bay serve Oyster Bay’s history, and Historical Society has over 16,000 photos, documents, ledgers and articles of clothing.

According to Denice Sheppard, the organization’s director since 2017, the drone project originated when she saw some of McLean’s work. “I saw it as a way to introduce and encourage younger people to learn more about the history of Oyster Bay,” Sheppard explained. “I was thinking of how to engage kids, how to reach them, and I thought that this is something new that certain kids might be interested in.”

More on drones ■ Drones were first developed in the 1980s by the U.S. military, and the first armed devices were made to help track down Osama bin Laden.

■ Model airplanes are technically drones.

saw it as a way to introduce and encourage younger people to learn more about the history of Oyster Bay.

■ Drones are used for everything from surveillance to movies, and even for farming: Farmers use them to survey their crops quickly and efficiently.

■ They have been used by humanitarian groups to deliver food and medicine to remote areas.

ANTOINE McLEAN TEACHES kids in the program, such as his son Antoine Jr., how to handle and operate drones safely.

The program has two parts. First, children will learn how to safely operate drones, as they are introduced to the technology and taught to use it responsibly.

Second, they will use the devices to take photos of historical buildings around town, such as Sagamore Hill and Snouder’s Drug Store, with each participant choosing a building and doing a presentation on it at the end of the program.

According to McLean, who has worked with drones professionally for the past 10 years, learning how to operate them has had a profound impact on his life and work, and it’s something he’s passionate to pass on to the next generation.

“I’ve been flying drones for a decade now. It’s changed my business, it’s changed my life, and all I want to do is do that for young kids,” McLean said. “You know,

they use drones in cinema, in search-andrescue, the LIRR and the military both use them. There is such a huge market for these things, and I want to give these kids a chance to get involved right now.”

While flying drones can be both fun and educational, safety is always the paramount concern for McLean. Ten children began the course on Aug. 3, and the entire first class focused on operating drones respectfully and purposefully, and most important, learning what not to do — flying them higher than 400 feet, for example, where they can pose a risk to helicopters and other low-flying aircraft, and flying them directly over people.

The classes will take place at the Historical Society every Wednesday and Thursday, from 3 to 6 p.m., until Sept. 8.

While some of the kids are more interest-

ed in the drones than the history, and for some it’s the other way around, all mentioned how exciting it has been to learn how to use the drones and to get to see Oyster Bay from a new perspective.

Kenneth Cruz, a 13-year-old from Freeport, mentioned how he knew a little about drones beforehand, but was really excited about actually flying them himself. “I knew that they use them a lot for studying the environment, (and) they use them in movies to record towns and get different shots,” Kenneth said. “I’m a beginner. I don’t know much about drones, but I’m learning more about what they use them for, how they’re used, how they’re made, and what I can use them for in my future.”

The park’s ownership has been contested CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE Members of the Freeport community protested the measure enacted by the State Legislature allowing the sale and petitioned Gov. Hochul to veto it.

In light of the possibility of the redevelopment of popular open space in Freeport, locals are pleased with the state’s acknowledgment of the area and the issue at hand.

“A t t o r n e y General James is standing up for the working families of Long Island, who need good jobs and safe streets to raise their kids, not another lowroad e-commerce warehouse,” said Thomas Gesualdi, president of Teamsters Joint Council 16.

“Cleveland Park has been used by generations of little lea guers THOMAS and is the only GESUALDI nearby greensPresident, pace for this community of Teamsters Joint color.

Council 16 “Towns and villages across Long Island are demanding economic development that actually helps our communities, and the Teamsters stand with them.”

Community organizer Kiana Abady said changing the park will have a detrimental impact on the local community.

“To rezone that space to industrial and to build a warehouse on it will negatively affect the community.” Abady said.

It’s going to change the air quality, it’s going to affect quality of life in terms of how the traffic is going to be affected in that area.”

In the fight to preserve Cleveland Park, Abady created a change.org petition that garnered more than 1,500 signatures, which she believes, along with other demonstrations and engagement,

C

leveland Park has been used by generations of little leaguers and is the only nearby greenspace for this community of color.

prompted the Attorney General to intervene.

“We don’t want to lose our free green space, our open green spaces,” Abady said.

“There’s no reason why we cannot economically develop Freeport while maintaining and protecting our environment. We don’t need to sacrifice one for the other.”

The Freeport Union Free School District, which contended for the right of access for the last 70 years, has claimed ownership of the site for almost a year.

The site has been utilized by the school district as practice fields for their sports teams.

The lawsuit filed by the New York State Attorney General is meritorious and consistent with applicable statutory and case law,” said John Gross, of the Counsel to the Freeport School Board. “It seeks to hinder the Village’s unlawful effort to sell the Cleveland Avenue fields.

If the Village is permitted to sell the ballfields, it will deny the over seventy-year use of the fields by Freeport students and the Freeport community,”

FREEPORT SCHOOL BOARD members joined local parents and organization leaders on July 1 to oppose the replacement of the athletic field on Cleveland Avenue with an Amazon warehouse.

CLEVELAND AVENUE FIELDS is a park located between Merrick Road and Sunrise Highway.

“It’s important that we always review the true impacts of large-scale developments to ensure our communities are not unduly harmed. We are working to resolve this issue so that Long Islanders

have access to the resources they need without causing widespread harm to the environment and our families,” said a spokesperson from the office of the Attorney General.

Freeport Public Schools hosts teacher orientation

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The Caroline G. Atkinson Intermediate School was packed with happy and motivated educators for the 2022-2023 new teacher orientation.

Mr. Benjamin Roberts, the assistant superintendent for personnel and special projects, welcomed the new instructors and introduced the administration to the new staff at the beginning of the four day orientation.

The new teachers were greeted by Board of Education President Maria Jordan-Awalom, who also emphasized that their work at Freeport Public Schools is critical to the development of the students as well as to the families and the community.

Following, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham welcomed the new teachers as he spoke to them saying, “I challenge you to be fearless. Do not be afraid of failure. Bringing out your fears can bring out the very best in you. Chal-

lenge yourself, challenge your students, challenge your colleagues so each of you can bring new, creative ideas to our district, take it to the next level and reach new heights. This is a school district where every day, greatness happens. And it happens because of the changemakers who are here. Now you are a part of that greatness and this great group of people.

Everything we tell our students is what we strive to be, so I urge each of you to embody what you encourage your students to be, and I know you will continue

to make this a great place for educating our youth.”

The new teachers will be given an overview of Freeport Public School policies throughout the rest of the orientation and the days that follow. They will also get various training and learning opportunities and have time to network with other teachers in their schools.

The district extends a cordial welcome to its new employees as classes commence on August 31.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Sophy Lu brings her 12 years of health system experience to Northwell Health, becoming the company’s new chief information officer. She succeeds the retiring John Bosco, who first took on that role in 2004.

Lu was once Northwell’s deputy CIO before becoming a senior vice president. She’ll oversee 1,900 team members and thousands of technological services.

“It’s gratifying to be able to proSophy Lu mote great candidates from within the health system,” said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and chief executive, in a release.

“While John Bosco left big shoes to fill, Sophy Lu is an outstanding leader in her field, and a logical choice for this key role.”

Lu joined Northwell in 2010, becoming chief applications officer seven years later. Before that, she was designing and building a liquified natural gas plant in Indonesia, as well as designing several air separation plants for the industrial gas industry.

She earned her degree in chemical engineering from Bucknell University in Pennsylvania.

DEC seeks comments on Hempstead village apartments

Neighbors around a planned apartment complex in the Village of Hempstead have a chance to share their comments about the projects over the next few weeks.

The state’s environmental conservation department is considering a brownfield cleanup application from Carman Place Apartments LLC — associated with Rochester developer Conifer Realty — for what is expected to be a 228-unit complex on the corner of Bedell, Columbia and Main streets.

The soil, groundwater and soil vapor have been contaminated over the years by a number of different businesses that have been located at the site, according to the developer.

That includes a dry cleaner, auto service station, and businesses that stored fuel oil in underground tanks.

The state program provides tax incentives for redevelopment of brownfields.

The developer has already secured some incentives through the Town of Hempstead’s Industrial Development Agency after pledging significant funds toward surrounding sewer and water infrastructure projects, matching state grants, according to published reports.

Apartment units there are said to be earmarked for families and individuals

making no more than $117,000 per year.

Comments on the brownfield program application are accepted through Oct. 8 by mailing to project manager Melissa Sweet, 625 Broadway, Albany, N.Y., 12233, or emailing her at melissa.sweet@dec.ny. gov. Comments also can be phoned in at (518) 402-9614.

The developer says it expects to have its brownfield remediation plan approved by the end of the year, and have it completed by next summer.

Crisis center says, ‘Let’s walk, let’s talk’ Suicide prevention fundraiser returns in-person to Long Beach

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

S

eptember is Suicide Prevention Month, and for the first time in since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the Long Island Crisis Center will raise money and awareness — simply by walking.

Its 14th annual event, “Let’s Walk, Let’s Talk-Stepping Together to Prevent Suicide,” is slated for Sunday, Sept. 18 on the Long Beach boardwalk. It’s one of the Bellmore-based crisis center’s biggest events, but had to take place virtually the last couple of years to help protect its participants from Covid-19.

Since its first journey in 2009, the crisis center walk has provided a chance for people to come together and raise awareness for suicide prevention, said Debra Katz, a volunteer counselor for the center’s crisis hotline.

TAWNI ENgEL associate executive Many use the day as an opportunity director, to remember Long Island those they may have lost.

Crisis Center “I think that, for people who have lost loved ones to suicide, even though their loved ones are always on their minds and in their hearts every day, the walk is exclusively for their memory,” Katz said.

And there is always strength in numbers, said Tawni Engel, the crisis center’s associate executive director.

“We’re all coming from this like-minded place of wanting to support one another,” said Engel, who worked her way from an intern in 2008 to her current leadership role about a year ago.

“It’s a somber day, but we try to keep it upbeat.”

The walk’s festivities kick off at 10:30 a.m., at 1 Laurelton Blvd. Besides the actual walkers, those showing up can expect music, Engel said, along with informational tables and booths from various organization. The morning program also honors the crisis center’s person of the year, and feature speeches about suicide awareness.

The walk itself starts at 11:30.

Those joining the physical part will find a specific walking path to follow, said Susan Slagg, the crisis center’s operations manager. But there is no pressure for anyone to walk the entire time.

“I always say (the event) is good for the non-walkers, too,” she said. “The walk is more for people to get together, and bring attention to the important cause. There is no skill needed.”

Pre-pandemic, the walk attracted upward of 500 people, Engel said. Cur-

help raise money for crisis center Want to join the Long Island Crisis Center on its ‘Let’s Walk, Let’s TalkStepping Together to Prevent Suicide’ event on the Long Beach boardwalk?

It’s set to begin at 10:30 a.m., on Sunday, Sept. 18.

To join a team, register for the walk, or to make a donation, visit LongIslandCrisisCenter.org/TheWalk.

ThE LONg IsLAND Crisis Center’s annual suicide prevention takes place on the Long Beach boardwalk on Sunday, Sept. 18. In the past, it has raised more than $50,000, and included some 500 participants. rently, there are a number of people registered, and donations have started to come in, too.

“Our goal this year is $50,000,” Engel said. “In the past, we’ve definitely surpassed that.”

A big part of the crisis center’s work is helping those identify as part of the greater LGBTQ community. Engel has worked extensively in the past with the center’s LGBTQ+ youth organization, Pride for Youth. There is direct correlation between what the crisis center and Pride for Youth does because, Engel said, “suicide numbers are so high in the LGBTQ+ community.”

The crisis center has been hard at work preparing for the walk.

“We have paid staff working on it, and a lot of volunteers,” Slagg said. “Everyone has worked really hard to make it happen.

I know from our people — our staff and volunteers — we’re really excited to bring it back together.”

The Long Island Crisis Center was founded in 1971, and has spent the past half-century as a round-the-clock suicide prevention and crisis intervention center.

It offers family counseling, support group, and various forms of health education.

Katz has volunteered as a counselor for five years, deciding to join after she retired from teaching.

“I wanted to do something meaningful, that would give back,” she said. “It has really added a lot to my life.”

Volunteer counselors go through rigorous training, taking part in shadow calls with counselors already on the job. Anyone interested in volunteering can call the crisis center’s business line at (516) 8260244.

The National Suicide Prevention Hotline has simplified from what used to be a complicated 10-digit toll-free number to just 988.

“For people who are really in crisis and feeling suicidal, they don’t have to remember this long number,” Katz said, adding that “988 is a great thing.”

Phone numbers with a 516 area code are routed directly to the Long Island Crisis Center. If the Bellmore facility is backed up, another nearby center will intercept and lend a hand, Slagg said.

The Long Island Crisis Center rents space from the Bellmore Presbyterian Church, and its offices are just behind the sanctuary at 2740 Martin Ave. For more on the crisis center and the programs it offers, visit LongIslandCrisisCenter.org.

The Lions were the No. 1-ranked NJCAA Division III program most of last season and are looking to get back to the championship game (Red Grange Bowl in Glen Ellyn, Illinois) after falling just short to DuPage, 34-29, after beating the Chaparrals by two points during the regular season.

“Last year was a challenge coming off the canceled 2020 Covid season, but I thought we handled it quite well,” Nassau CC head coach Jamel Ramsay said. “It was a tough ending. We were down pretty big at halftime, fought back to take the lead in the last minute but couldn’t hold on.

“We’re excited about the opportunity to return to that stage,” he added. “We have strong returning talent and I thought we added some nice pieces to fill voids.”

The Lions, who finished 6-4 last season, traditionally field a fierce defense and Ramsey believes the foundation is in place for the unit to thrive again.

Sophomores Jack Winey, Khristan Hernandez, Jordan Campbell and Jaylen Ware are all returning starters, while freshman Devyon Wright could prove the most significant newcomer.

Winey, a former standout at Lindenhurst High School, and Ware lead the linebacker corps. Both are returning starters who go sideline to sideline and excel at tackling, Ramsay said. “Jack was one of our defensive leaders last

year and came into camp in outstanding shape,” the coach noted. “Jaylen is similar. He’s a tough, strong kid.”

Hernandez is a shutdown cornerback who’ll get the toughest weekly assignment in the secondary, Ramsay said. “He’s not the biggest guy (5-foot-9) but he can go against big receivers and shut them down,” Ramsay said.

“He has great all-around skills and is one of our vocal leaders.”

Campbell will spearhead the pass rush from the edge and comes off an impressive first season. “I’m excited to see what he can do after last year,” Ramsay said.

Wright, from Dix Hills, is one of the defensive X-factors. He’s been dynamic in camp and will start at safety.

“He looks to be a force to be reckoned with,” Ramsay said.

Offensively, Ramsay is looking for the Lions to take things up a notch under the direction of new quarterback Luke Sprague, a transfer from LIU-Post. “He’s a tremendous pocket passer with an extremely strong arm,” Ramsay said. “We feel he’s someone who can elevate our offense to another level for the next two years.”

Sophomore John Beaubrun, a Valley Stream Central High School graduate, leads the receiver corps and is also a key on special teams as a return option. “John had some big catches and a handful of touchdowns last year,” Ramsay said. “He has good speed and hands and runs sharp routes.”

Versatile sophomore tight end Greg King, a 6-foot-4 target, also returns and will provide yardage through the air and blocking.

The feature running back is former Sewanhaka High School standout Brian Lowry. “He’s a tough downhill runner with deceptive speed,” Ramsay said. “He’s patient and strong and we’re looking for him to build on last year.”

Anchoring the offensive front is sophomore center Kwami Frimpong, a talented all-around lineman and a leader in the huddle. “He’s crucial to everything we do on offense,” said Ramsay, who is also counting on returning starting sophomores Shamar Riley (tackle) and Kasper Borawski (guard) to get the job done in the trenches.

The special teams legwork will be handled by kicker Thomas Zebransky and punter Nick George.

“We have a lot of challenges on the schedule that we’re pumped about,” Ramsay said.

Peer pressure

Getting your kids ready to face the challenge

By Chelle Cordero The first time you hold your child in your arms, you make promises to love, protect and always be there to guide him or her. Then reality intrudes.

Unfortunately for us and fortunately for them, things such as school force us to release our little ones for a while and put them in the care of teachers and school administrators, who must oversee several kids at once. Suddenly, our precious bundle faces a must-be-decided-now quandary and finds that mommy or daddy isn’t there to make all the decisions. Sometimes the situation is even scary. Challenges face our children in the form of peer pressure, drugs, sex and bullying.

Clinical psychologist and author Dr. John Duffy says: “Parents do need to talk with their kids about bullying, sex and peer pressure. Many parents I’ve worked with over the years will provide time for a lecture, often a one-time-only lecture. But they will often fail to provide time for ongoing discussion of these topics, which is what children really need. They need to know that we as parents are available to them as guides should they need help navigating the world of peer pressure.”

“I work with teens and tweens. They are at particular risk for peer pressure to participate in sexual activity, drink or smoke pot. Many are bullied in ways we could not have even imagined a generation ago (texting, social media). They need parents who can help them in real time.

The stronger the connection between parent and child the likelier a parent’s word will be heeded and the likelier a parent’s limits will be honored.”

When you have that all-important conversation, Dr. Fran Walfish recommends: “The most important thing your child or teen needs on his first day of school is to not feel lonely or isolated.

Talk with your kid about what it takes to be a good friend. Include what feels comfortable and what doesn’t. Teach your child to follow her instincts.”

“Most kids know right from wrong. Teach your kid to listen to his internal voice and follow his intuition, not the crowd. I would wait to discuss sex and cyber-bullying and other issues so as not to bombard and overwhelm your child before school starts. Too much talk can raise anxiety when your goal here is preparation and to reduce anxiety.”

Stay Involved — And Communicate Keeping the lines of communication open is vital. Your child needs to know that you are willing to listen, discuss his or her experiences and not judge. Learn to listen to your child; don’t just lecture him and assume he will do only what you’ve told him. Lead by example; it’s hard to persuade a child not to drink while you’re knocking back a frosty mug of beer. Make sure that your child is involved in activities that inspire a sense of belonging; being a vital member of a team will encourage her to feel good about herself. Make sure you know what television shows

and movies your child is seeing, and talk with him about the values and situations portrayed.

“I’d position it more as ‘making good choices’ versus ‘peer pressure,’ because big picture, if your kid makes good choices throughout life, he/she is setting himself/herself up for success,” advises Amy Kossoff Smith, founder of The MomTini Lounge. “I’d advocate sitting down before school to talk about your routine/expectations, and in that context, say that there will be

many opportunities to decide what is best for him/her and that you hope he/she will come to you for advice when needed and will make good choices, especially when presented with ideas or opportunities that may not lead to a good outcome.”

Similar flyers were found around Long Island CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE trol is Jewish,” with hate symbols across the page and includes a link to the group’s website to visit for further information. There was a label on each zip lock bag explicitly stating that the area was not targeted and that it was “randomly delivered” without malicious intent.

“I was appalled by the antisemitic fliers that Freeport Village residents discovered outside their homes over the weekend – fliers that were filled with vitriol, bigotry, and dangerous lies,” Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé said. “Following this incident, I had a lengthy conversation with NCPD Commissioner Patrick Ryder, and he reassured me that he is working closely with his counterparts at Freeport PD to ensure that all who live, work and worship in Nassau County can do so safely and with peace of mind.”

Howard Colton, co-president of the Central Synagogue in Rockville Centre, Colton received word about the antisemitic literature spread across various towns as members of his synagogue would approach him to express their concerns about the material.

“I lost a quarter of my family in the Holocaust, Colton said. “And I look at something like this, and I just don’t understand how people can think like this. I just can’t.”

Colton, who identifies as Jewish, is influenced by his father, reformed Rabbi Lawrence Colton, who served the Freeport Jewish community for nearly 20 years prior to his death. Howard raises his two 14-year-old daughters in Freeport, believing that the propagation of hatred will one day change.

“Hatred, unfortunately, has no bounds. And what we find is as much as we try to educate.” Colton said. “And as much as we condemn what’s happening, there are always going to be people that hate. And that’s that, that’s what kills me.”

THE FLYER WAS set in a zip-close bag surrounded by rice to keep the paper in place and preserve moisture. after similar fliers were discovered in Long Beach, Rockville Centre, and Oceanside in July.

The Town of Hempstead had to cope with a comparable problem when antisemitic graffiti was discovered on a sign outside the town hall with the names of elected officials.

The Town of Hempstead supervisor Donald Clavin, said Hempstead is home to the second-largest Jewish community in the country, behind New York City.

On Tuesday, the Town Board members and rabbis assembled in front of Town Hall promised to condemn and reject racism in the Town.

“As a former police officer, I take this hateful rhetoric very seriously, especially when it is perpetuated against

our Jewish friends and neighbors in the Town of Hempstead,” Councilman Chris Corini said. “We on the Hempstead Town Board are disgusted by these blatant acts of antisemitism, and we stand united against discrimination and bigotry.”

Marilyn Gales, president of Freeport’s sole synagogue, Congregation B’Nai Israel, expressed her concern about the antisemitic flyers and the Jewish community of Freeport.

“The Jewish community has been in Freeport since 1915 and was very prominent until it diminished within time as that is just the evolution of Religious institutions,” Gales said.

Gales added that within days of the antisemitic literature being found, the synagogue received flowers and a thoughtful note from a religious organization called the Philos Action League, a Christian nonprofit dedicated to fostering positive Christian engagement within communities.

The note read, “To the members of the Jewish community, we are the Philos Action League - a membership community of Christians who are committed to showing up, physically, in solidarity and friendship with the Jewish community when an act of antisemitism happens.”

Luke Moon of the Philos Project sheds light on their organization. “The Philos is basically a community of Christians that anytime there’s an antisemitic incident, anywhere in the United States, that Christians will show up with white roses and a card saying that we stand in solidarity with you,” Said deputy director Luke Moon of the Philos Project.

“Getting back to a place where people physically show up in solidarity, I think it is much more powerful than a social media hashtag. I think it’s important to physically show up as a symbol of our commitment to standing against antisemitism instead of hashtag activism.”

ike everything else in our rapidly changing culture, artistic styles, technique and process continue to evolve. Such is the case with printmaking.

Hofstra University Museum of Art’s new exhibit, “Off the Press,” explores the relationship between the artist and the complexities of the printmaking craft.

“Our goal with all our exhibits is to make our permanent collection accessible to the public,” says Karen Albert,the museum’s director and curator. “And one of the big strengths of our collection (5,200 pieces in all) is the print collection.”

A print, in the broadest definition, is a work of art composed of ink on paper created through an indirect transfer process. Four major printmaking methods have developed over the centuries: relief, intaglio, and the planographic techniques of lithography and screenprinting.

“Printmakers may choose When: between methods to produce a Now, through Jan. 27 distinct type of image or line quality,” Where: Albert explains.”Artists will choose David Filderman Gallery, 9th the technique based on how they floor of the Joan and Donald want the final image to look. This E. Axinn Library, Hofstra exhibition will give viewers insight University’s South Campus into how and why such artistic For information, and to choices are made.”

RSVP to reception, call Visitors can view 30 prints — (516) 463-5672 or visit works dating from the late 16th Hofstra.edu/museum century to the 21st — by Romare Bearden, Helen Frankenthaler, Henry Moore, Alison Saar and Andy Warhol, among otherss. A woodblock and copper etching plate are also on display.

“It’s helpful to get an understanding of the process to see how it’s made,” Albert says. “How ink sits on a plate and how it’s transferred is different. Also notice the image is reversed, it’s the opposite of what it is on the plate.”

The works on view are small sampling of the museum’s collection of more than 2,200 prints in a range of media and processes, Albert says. “What you’re seeing are essentially all my favorites.”

Of particular note, she cites Romare Bearden’s “The Family” for his use of tinting and photo engraving. And Henry Moore’s “13 Standing Figures,” which visually relates to a sculpture that resides on Hofstra’s South Campus.

Woodcuts, the oldest form of printmaking, appeared in fifth century Chinese art, and in Europe since the 15th century. Early prints — most commonly woodcuts, wood engravings and metal plate engravings — were often produced to provide illustrations for publications and, in the hierarchy of artists, printmakers were considered “lesser than” painters and sculptors.

European and American artists began experimenting with printmaking in the late 19th to early 20th century. More recent decades saw the establishment of printmaking studios, where well-

known artists created new and innovative prints. As techniques have evolved — especially now with digital technology — artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional printmaking. Many contemporary artists view their graphic work as an integral part of their oeuvre and, for some, it is their primary expressive medium.

The public is invited to the exhibit’s opening reception at the Emily Lowe Gallery on Thursday, Sept. 8 from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. The reception includes remarks

by Albert and refreshments.

Legal Notices are everyone’s business

READ THEM

A Freeport man was sentenced to 29 years in prison on Aug. 30 for shooting at a Freeport police officer during a foot chase in February 2018.

David Serrant, 23, was convicted this May of first degree attempted assault and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Serrant was found not guilty on two charges of first-degree attempted murder of a police office and one count of menacing a police officer. In addition to the nearly 30-year sentence, he is subject to five years of post-release supervision.

On Feb. 25, 2018, at roughly 11:50 p.m., officers from the Freeport Police Department responded to a 911 call that individuals smoking marijuana outside of an

apartment building on Pine Street.

As the officers approached, Serrant left the scene and was chased by two officers. Serrant then fired one bullet at the officer, missing him in the process while the officer did not return fire.

A police canine team assisted in finding Serrant several minutes later, in possession of an empty .40 caliber handgun.

“When approached by police officers, this defendant could have easily made the choice to obey their orders,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly stated in a news release. “Instead, he took off running and fired his gun directly at an officer during the chase. Fortunately, no one was injured, and Serrant was apprehended within minutes. We thank the judge for his decision to hold the defendant accountable for his crimes with this significant prison sentence.”

CRIME WATCH Arrests ■ Officers from the Freeport Police Department arrested a male individual who stole a number of perishable items from a local business on Aug. 29. The individual was still on the property when officers arrived, and he was apprehended and transferred to Freeport headquarters for arrest processing.

■ Freeport Police officers arrested a subject who assaulted another family member after a brief verbal argument on Aug. 28. The subject was arrested at the scene and transported to the Freeport Station House before being lodged at Nassau County Detention to await arraignment.

Domestic Incident ■ A verbal altercation between family members on Aug. 26 regarding locks being changed resulted in a report being

submitted by Freeport Police. The complainant requested that the incident be documented.

Civil Forfeiture ■ Due to unpaid NY State taxes, Freeport Police aided NYS Dept Taxation & Finance with the civil seizure of a subject’s automobile on Aug. 25. The responding officer completed the report after the vehicle was removed from the scene.

Trespass ■ Freeport Police completed a report on Aug. 24 for a caller who claimed that there was a union-related work action going on and that people were staying illegally at the area despite being asked to leave. No criminality was determined to have been present by responding officers and subjects further left without incident.

People named in Crime Watch items as having been arrested and charged with violations or crimes are only suspected of committing those acts of which they are accused. They are all presumed to be innocent of those charges until and unless found guilty in a court of law.

I’ve always wondered why people in your situation aren’t given a more thorough explanation of all the things needed for a permit. Code words like “sketch,” “expedite” and “simple,” along with phrases like “all you need is a permit,” or “you just …” are misleading. Making a much more complicated process seem so simple that peoonte eeper ple have a false sense of what is needed only adds stress and mistrust to the problem when a licensed individual is trying to get you through this legal procedure. Couple this with the knowledge of codes, structure and pitfalls that a seasoned professional must apply, and you may have a better sense of how you got pulled into a much more involved situation than you were told about and why it costs more than you assumed.

For example, there are many regulations for sleeping spaces and bathrooms, such as means of escape, minimum space size, plumbing requirements and use. In most jurisdictions, the extra bedroom has been used as a non-permitted rental, so the examiner of the plans, not the inspector you met, may have a policy to first get proof that you are not illegally renting the space. If you have a door to the outside from the room, for example, they will require that it be substituted with a window or blocked entirely with wall materials, meaning that you have some remedial construction to do.

I’m working with a few files right now where the owners didn’t know that the ceiling heights are lower than allowed by state building code, so, in addition to applying for a building permit, we are in a multi-month processes of first applying for a building code variance. This requires much more documentation, time and cost to the owner that the inspector might have noticed and said something about when they saw the spaces in question, but the owner wasn’t made aware of it. The owner was also only told they needed an architect or engineer and a sketch. This creates the false sense that the much more complicated process was simple when it wasn’t, and left the licensed professional to look like the enforcer of the law and “the bad guy,” possibly trying to rack up more fees.

Q. We were told by a building inspector that we need a permit for making our garage into a bedroom and bathroom. He gave us 10 days to “respond.” He told us we just need an architect to file a sketch of the room; he would even help us expedite the permit. We called around and are being told some crazy things and high costs to prepare the sketch. Why are we being told we need all these things, like a survey, a possible Sandy repair permit, an energy report, etc.?

The inspector didn’t say we needed any of this. Who’s telling us the truth? We’re so confused.

OPINIONS

any of our institutions are failing us, and unless our faith in their competence and fairness is restored, I think we’re doomed. Institutions from Congress, to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to the upper echelons of the Justice Department and FBI, from officials in Albany, the postal service, district attorney offices, and in some public-school systems and colleges, institutions created by the people to serve the people seem obsessed with serving themselves and not JOHN with doing a competent, not to menO’CONNELL tion great job.

Policies that are clearly destructive of good community order and safety — like the laissez-faire repeated release of violent criminals back to the streets — are imposed on citizens whose objections are ignored. Not only do such anti-civilization, get-out-of-jail-free policies further victimize us, they also erode our confidence in the institutions we thought existed for our benefit.

Abhor or admire him, Donald Trump was elected in 2016 in major part because most voters craved a return to competence after years of pedantic lectures but

no achievement. Many of us think we’ve returned to wondering if anyone knows what they’re doing.

Politicians aren’t the only ones undermining our confidence in institutions.

Since Covid-19 attacked us from Wuhan, China, we’ve looked to our public health organizations for reliable information. We understood that such a novel virus would make immutable guidance impossible. Faced with something so complicated and so new, we all accepted that scientists would need time to gather and analyze data before they could define the pandemic, predict its progress and develop vaccines and treatments.

What bothered so many of us is the supreme arrogance of the government’s public health community in the face of its amazing incompetence.

“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge,” said historian Daniel Boorstin (it may have been Stephen Hawking).

The Communicable Disease Center, the predecessor of the CDC, was formed in 1946. The CDC’s mission, according to its website, is to work “24/7 to protect America from health, safety and security threats, both foreign and in the U.S. Whether diseases start at home or abroad, are chronic or acute, curable or prevent-

able, human error or deliberate attack, CDC fights disease and supports communities and citizens to do the same. CDC increases the health security of our nation. As the nation’s health protection agency, CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats.” It had 76 years of experience to prepare for what to do if a highly contagious virus started killing Americans.

In the 1880s, Congress commissioned the Marine Hospital Service with examining passengers on arriving ships for signs of infectious diseases in order to prevent epidemics. To specialize in that work, the MHS set up a small lab (on Staten Island), which would grow to be known as the National Institutes of Health. So the NIH has had about 130 years learning how to use medical science and best public health practices to prevent viral illnesses from becoming pandemics that might kill millions.

And yet in the winter of 2020 Americans had the impression that the CDC and the NIH didn’t know what the hell they were doing, even though they condescendingly acted like know-it-alls. That was a disastrous blow to our respect for those institutions. Worse than that was a suspicion that their leaders, Drs. Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins, knew more

nstitutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them.

about China’s infectious disease research than they were letting on. It’s hard to tell what’s worse: Thinking our institutions are incompetent, or suspecting they’re hiding the whole truth from us.

Less critical than a bungling government and inept disease-control regime, there are other examples of once reliable and now ineffective institutions. Are you getting your mail as regularly and accurately delivered as you once did? How do you assess the common sense and general intelligence of most college grads you deal with on a daily basis? Do they inspire you with confidence in the future? When you deal with a business in person or by phone do you feel like they know what they’re doing? When you read supposedly fact-based articles in newspapers do you quickly see the bias or advocacy going on?

Do you think new fellow employees are less able than the ones they replaced?

What other examples of incompetence do you frequently encounter?

Institutions have only ever been as competent as the people in them and who lead them. It’s up to us to demand that our federal, state, county, local and school district institutions act competently. It’s up to people who call themselves journalists to discover and report the unbiased whole truth, without trading that truth for access to those institutions. It’s up to us to vote.

A remedy for TB (Trump Burnout): the beach

was thinking of redacting my column in the spirit of the moment. I spent all morning waiting for the redacted version of the warrant authorizing the search of Mar-a-Lago to drop and so it has, and so what?

This endless cycle of “breaking news” doesn’t actually advance our knowledge of how and when Donald Trump might be held accountable for any alleged crimes. Will he ever pay for his egregious misbehavior and the immorality which has stained our standing in the world? He is not going away. And RANDI neither are his KREISS people. I can tell by the dread in my heart.

We must find our own peace of mind and cultivate our own sources of comfort as we support our democracy. As Labor Day approaches, we need to grab what’s left of summer and head to the beach.

This is what we can do for ourselves as human beings living in challenging times Long Islanders are truly blessed with a natural remedy for stress since most of us

are within driving distance of open water.

Battered by the sights and sounds of real life, we go to the ocean to recharge our batteries.

I flee, escaping television, the internet, the book banning, the war raging in Ukraine, the suffocating heat across the land, and of course the hair ball of Trumpism that is entangling some very bright and should-have-known-better officials in a nest of lies and conspiracy. Most thinking Americans are concerned about our security and standing in the world. We are worried all over again about women’s reproductive rights, racism, gun control and nothing less than the stability of our democracy.

We have become addicted to “breaking news” that intrudes on our phones or beams out from televisions. We don’t want to hear it and we can’t stay away.

The Mar-a-Lago search warrant is one of hundreds of hyped up turns of events in the unfolding story of the Trump years. The man has taken up residence in people’s minds, pushing out benign stuff like recipes and happy vacations and memories of leaders we have respected

W

and even loved.

A reliable antidote to Trump is escape into nature.

School days are approaching; if it’s Thursday, it must be soccer practice or extra help classes, or ballet or orthodontist or religious school or play dates or flu shots or ... hopefully ... therapy appointments. It’s all about lists and checking off items and jumping into the car or onto the computer or back to the market for something you forgot.

Our homes need to be ready for cold weather ahead. Folks are thinking about cutting back the garden and checking the oil burner.

We can do what we have to do, and still walk the beach for a reboot.

All over again I wonder at the deep, glorious expanse of white sand stretching down to the surf. This week the sun was brilliant in a blue sky studded with darling puffs of white. Oil tankers rode the horizon. The waves were lively, crashing around the rock jetties. I walked along the beach and took notice of everything I could hear: my rubber soles scuffing on the sand, the cawing of the seabirds roost-

e have become addicted to ‘breaking news’ that intrudes on our phones or beams out from televisions.

ing around me, a jet leaving a ghost trail overhead.

A few people, widely scattered, were enjoying the day. One lone fisherman stood out on the rocks. The scene was solitary; the heartbeat slowed, the mind quieted and I felt like my better self as I set new footprints into the sand.

At the tip of one jetty someone had placed a large American flag, which was tattered by the wind. If I knew how to write music, I would have composed an anthem from that image.

It was a perfect experience. Isn’t this the most we can hope for—to leave our worries behind or at least set them aside for a while- and immerse ourselves in a setting of peace and beauty? It is the timelessness of the beach, the endless rhythms of the tide that remind us how beautiful and big this earth is and how relatively small our concerns are.

Man, how lucky to live near the beaches that curl around Long Island like strands of pearls. And this is the best season to get out there. If you are reading this on Long Island, there is a beach somewhere not too far away.

Suffering from TB? Head to the shore.

Assemble ingredients. Mix well. Enjoy.

Want to ensure democracy? Invest in education

S

ummers are for beaches, barbecues and outdoor concerts. But for Faye, each and every day of her summers during her college years were spent inside a hot factory, pushing a button many times over.

It was tedious, but it came with a paycheck. One that, by the time her summer was over, she could fund just about every single cent of the upcoming fall and spring semesters toward her goal of shaping young minds as an elementary school teacher.

And here she was, in front of a class of students, sharing her tenacity. Her persistence.

Except this was the early 1980s. A time when tuition, fees, room and board cost just under $3,000 for the whole year — a little more than $10,000 in today’s money.

But that’s not the same for teachers walking into our classrooms today as fall classes begin — not just across Nassau County, but across the country.

That number is now just under $29,000, according to the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, as reported by Forbes last spring. While those numbers haven’t moved too much since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, they’ve certainly climbed significantly over the past 40 years — nearly three times the rate of inflation.

Going to college is supposed to prepare our best young minds for the future.

Instead, it creates significant burdens, with recent graduates carrying debts with them in six figures, many times before they even buy their first car, let alone their first house.

LETTERS Veterans, too, need to learn to teach To the Editor: OMG! I read Randi Kreiss’s column “Florida Gov. DeSantis: teachers need to be educated” (Aug. 11-17), about allowing veterans to teach in Florida classrooms.

Like Randi, I am a retired teacher, having completed all the requirements necessary for teachers in New York state. That anyone, including our veterans, would have the nerve to accept this position and stand up in front of 25 impressionable children and think he/she can teach without having had the methods courses or the hands-on student teaching experience is simply arrogant. It says that my degrees in education are unnecessary.

Do they know how to write a lesson plan? Do they know how to handle class-

Student loans are typically structured to only be present for the first 10 years of a graduate’s career. But a 2013 study by One Wisconsin Institute say that is more like the first 21 years of a career. That means many college graduates are helping to secure student loans for their kids, while still paying off their own.

It’s a “circle of life” that shouldn’t even exist. Yet it does. And whether we are product of colleges from the 1980s or today, it affects each and every one of us.

For one, the number of high school seniors choosing college after graduation is dropping. Just 15.9 million pursued undergraduate degrees in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences.

That’s from a peak of 18.1 million in 2010, and has steadily declined ever since.

Yet, more than $1.6 trillion in student loans remain outstanding for 45 million people, according to the White House.

That’s an average of $36,000 per student.

Such a debt load also makes it harder for new college graduates to get started on their own, independent lives. In fact, more than half of college students surveyed by Pew Research Center said they were back home living with their parents in late 2020 — the highest percentage since the Great Depression. Sure, we could blame Covid-19, but those numbers were already past 47 percent and climbing even before the pandemic.

Yet, the federal government’s plan to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt for anyone not among the super-wealthy is wrong — not because it’s wiping away student debt, but because it’s not wiping

away enough of it.

President Biden’s own numbers paint a horrifying picture for America’s postsecondary education system. The cost of a public four-year university has skyrocketed nearly 200 percent since 1980, but federal aid through Pell Grants has grown just 20 percent.

In 1980, Pell Grants could offset 75 percent of your total college expenses. Now? It’s barely 30 percent. That’s not how a country makes education a priority — and it’s certainly not how a country remains a superpower.

This grant forgiveness isn’t a handout.

It’s simply our government trying to catch up on the commitment made to each and every young person so many years ago. That means ensuring public funding is there while controlling costs at public universities. And at the very least, make community college free.

Even the Founding Fathers felt education was essential in ensuring democracy, although it would take decades to establish broad-access public schools for children. In 1910, just one out of every 10 people had high school diplomas. Today, it’s above 90 percent.

Investing in education makes a difference — but so does not investing in education. Except that creates the kind of difference we’d rather not experience.

Faye was able to fund her college by not only pressing a button over and over again at a factory all summer long, but because of Washington’s commitment to her education.

Biden’s move on restoring that commitment is a start, but there’s still a long way to go.

OPINIONS

s election season heats up, we are once again hearing the same worn-out message parroted by Democrats hoping to get elected. You know it: “I support access to quality, affordable health care.” But no one ever questions why health care should be this way.

Because as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.

Under rare circumstances, like in rural areas of the country, getting access to health care is genuinely difficult.

MATTHEW There are situain which ADARICHEV tions there is a real shortage of doctors, and they must be addressed. But for the vast majority of Americans, the real barrier to health care is its prohibitively high cost.

You have “access” to health care in the same way you have “access” to a Lamborghini. What’s stopping you? Go get one!

Clearly, the problem isn’t supply; the cars are there. It’s the fact that for most Americans, it’s way too expensive.

The difference is, you can live without a Lambo, but you can’t live without health care.

When did the idea that we should pay for necessary medical procedures become accepted? It’s as barbaric as demanding payment to breathe air. And the concept of affordability is completely subjective.

A million-dollar procedure is affordable to a billionaire, but for those who live in poverty, coughing up a couple of thousand dollars a year — or even a couple of hundred — for bare-bones private insurance is onerous.

I’m not suggesting that our good, hardworking doctors work for free. Rather, we ought to provide everyone in the country with universal health care through a single-payer program.

Everyone would pay into a pool, and the government would use that money to pay doctors for treatment.

The list of potential benefits is long. If you lost your job, you wouldn’t lose your health insurance. Small businesses wouldn’t have to bear the enormous cost of employee health care. Unions would no longer have to negotiate for health care benefits; 100 percent coverage would finally be achieved; and we would no longer lose 45,000 Americans a year due to a lack of health insurance.

The program would also save us money. A study from Yale University estimated that a single-payer system would save us $450 billion per year. Another

ecause as far as I can see, health care shouldn’t just be affordable. It should be free.

LETTERS room issues, discipline and difficulties?

Will they stay up at night tweaking the next day’s lesson to make it even better?

Will they create hands-on lessons? Can they do the new math required (or maybe not required in Florida) of elementary school children, and will they teach history the way it happened? Oh, I forgot — books have been censored or removed in that state.

My guess is that the children in Florida will be deprived of a decent education, which will render them ignorant and eventually produce the next generation of voters DeSantis wants. My blood is still boiling.

JANE GLUCKMAN Rockville Centre

The high court ‘took no one’s rights away’ To the Editor: Ilana Greenberg’s column in the Aug.

study, from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, put the price tag of singlepayer at just under $3 trillion, compared with the $4.1 trillion the American Medical Association estimated we spent on health care in 2020, meaning single-payer could save us $22 trillion over 20 years.

Of course, there are concerns about higher taxes.

Frankly, I wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes if it meant that my fellow Americans would receive the care they needed. But call it whatever you want. You already pay “taxes” to private insurance companies in the form of premiums, copays and deductibles.

And when expensive emergency services are utilized for preventable health problems, you foot part of the bill.

Contrary to popular opinion, government programs are extremely efficient.

Social Security spends less than 1 percent of its budget on administration, and Medicare spends 2 percent, compared with a low estimate of 17 percent among private insurers, who spend many of your “tax” dollars on profits and marketing rather than health care.

A final worry is, “Would I lose my existing health insurance?” No. It’s a precarious time in America right now, but no one’s coverage would be taken away.

Your current health insurance would be phased into the new plan over several years, during which you could still access services.

The path forward is clear: We need to move toward a single-payer system in the U.S. It will save money, lives, nerves, and a whole lot of paperwork. Luckily, we don’t need to move forward alone. We can look to our Pacific ally, Taiwan, which already has an outstanding single-payer system. Taiwan has a higher life expectancy, a lower infant mortality rate and a lower maternal mortality rate — all for less than we spend in the U.S. If you want to reform our brutal health care system, find and call your state senator at nysenate.gov/find-mysenator. There is legislation that has passed the Assembly called the New York Health Act, which would enact singlepayer in New York state. Contact your U.S. representative as well, or call Sen. Chuck Schumer, at (202) 224-6542, or Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, at (202) 224-4451.

Remind them that single-payer is a policy supported by a majority of Americans.

Health care policy shouldn’t be about providing “access to quality, affordable health care.” It should be about providing quality health care, period.

FRAMEWORK by Tim Baker

18-24 issue, “Scientists grapple with meaning of life.

Why should judges?” was well thought out and insightful. She walked the fine line between sides. She pointed out that the goalposts are always changing with the science, and that judges may not be the best people to make that determination. I agree — but her argument fell flat when she discussed the recent Supreme Court decision.

Greenberg states, “the Supreme Court should not infringe on my personal right to make that choice.” My understanding is that the court took no one’s rights away.

It ruled that the “right” to an abortion is not based in the Constitution, and that any laws about abortion should come from the people, through their state or federal representatives. So the court didn’t take Greenberg’s rights away; it put those rights back into her hands!

What is she going to do about it?
