Educators and community members gathered to recognize this year’s honorees at the Black Educators Committee’s fifth annual Legends Ball at the North Ritz Club last Saturday.

The 54-year-old organization, which is based in Freeport, created the event to recognize those who have long served the children and families of Freeport and greater Long Island.

“We decided to start this event in 2018,” committee Pres-

ident Claretha Richardson said. “We let it become our flagship event, with the goal being to honor the for mer teachers in the district as well as community representatives.

We recognize those who work in the community that have been trailblazers, and have been creators and innovators in their own areas in order to build up the community.”

Down on the farm with De La Salle school students

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

Earlier this month, the De La Salle School resumed its annual Vermont farm trip, giving some of its students the chance to combine agriculture with academics.

Since 2002, the Pine Street school has offered the adventure to boys in grades 5 through 8.

The all-male school, which has fewer than 80 students, enrolls at-risk Latino and African-American boys from low-income families, and its curriculum integrates academics, the arts and the study of Catholicism.

The yearly farm trip, to the

Spring Brook Farm in Reading, Vermont, had been on pause because of the coronavirus pandemic, but the administration was given permission to revive it this fall. Typically, just one class would be allowed to go, but to make up for lost time, the school sent both fifth- and seventh-graders this time around.

“The program was established to give students an opportunity to do something they would never have an opportunity to experience otherwise,” De La Salle Principal Jeanmarie Becker said. “The trip teaches them something about themselves; it develops an inner confidence in them. So we’ve just felt

that the program gives the students many benefits through its learning experience, but also it bonds the gentlemen that go together.”

The trip is part of Farms for City Kids, an educational program offered to students in the Northeast that combines classroom lessons with practical agricultural experience to give urban children an appreciation and understanding of how fundamental academics are in everyday life. At Spring Brook, a traditional dairy farm, they work at a dairy barn, a smallanimal barn, a greenhouse, a garden and a cheese house, taking on team-oriented duties and

living in dormitories, with the aim of developing interpersonal, leadership and problem-solving skills through hands-on projects.

“It was an opportunity to experience the presence of God in nature and a world beyond their city dwellings,” the school’s executive director, William L. Gault, said. “Through the generosity of the Farms for City Kids

program, our fifth- and seventhgrade students had the opportunity to travel to the Green Mountains and experience life on a working dairy farm.”

Farms for City Kids covers all costs except transportation, so the school must raise the money to charter a bus to Vermont.

MOUNT SINAI SOUTH Nassau finishes five-year poll on mental health services on Long Island called “Truth in Medicine.”

Residents struggle with mental health services Superintendents weight in on what’s happening within the school system

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

A new poll called “Truth in Medicine” conducted by Mount Sinai South Nassau since 2017 has just concluded. Its findings were that more than one-third of residence on Long Island who sought mental health services found it challenging to find a provider, even if they have insurance coverage.

The poll, which was sponsored by Bethpage Credit Union, also found that anxiety, depression, social isolation and fear of contracting Covid-19 are the prevalent issues among those who have accessed professional mental health care services since the pandemic began.

In this survey of 600 Long Island residents, 92 percent have active health insurance policies. Of those respondents who have sought care, 36 percent said getting the help they wanted or needed was “challenging,” predominantly due to difficulty scheduling an appointment or lack of coverage by their health insurers.

A significant percentage of poll respondents also feel that institutions like government, municipalities, and schools could be doing more to increase the scope of mental health services in the community. Forty-six percent said that the government does not do enough to help, while just 32 percent say that it does.

“We have a crisis on Long Island when it comes to the lack of mental health services,” says Adhi Sharma, president of Mount Sinai South Nassau. “The poll results strongly indicate that providers are working at or beyond capacity. This calls for an aggressive expansion of mental health screening, prevention, and intervention services to meet the present and future demand for them.”

Since the start of the pandemic, about 84 percent of mental health providers have seen an increase in demand for treatment of anxiety, compared with 74 percent a year ago, while 72 percent of providers have seen an increase in demand for treatment of depression, compared with 60 percent in 2020.

School officials have reported spikes in demand for mental health services among students, even among elementary and middle-schoolers. Meanwhile, some psychiatrists and psychologists report high demand for services but difficulty finding adequate staff to meet demand.

988 Lifeline Regardless of the mental health problem, residents across Long Island can call or text the nationwide “988 Lifeline” if you, a friend, or loved one needs emotional support. The Lifeline is a national network of local crisis centers that operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week and provide free and confidential support to anyone in emotional distress.

Some local school leaders have called on government officials to do more to address mental health needs in the schools and local communities. Dr. Shari Camhi, Superintendent of Schools in Baldwin said we need to look at the issue through the eyes of the children. “We have to think about what the experience was for kids, so life is going on as normal and come March of 2020 everything stopped, everybody went home, routines are completely disrupted, there were parents’ home,” she said.

For a while it was almost idyllic, she continued, “At least initially what we saw was the young people going back to what I would describe as my childhood, you had a community again, you played at home you rode your bicycle in the neighborhood but overtime what we saw was these disruptions continue.” Disruptions such as the constant negative broadcasts portrayed in social media and the news started to become too much for many, “We started to see that anxiety build and build because the rhetoric was nothing but unsure and uncertain.”

Kishore Kuncham, Superintendent of Schools in Freeport also weighed in on youths’ mental health, saying while the issues are not new per say, it’s heightened because of the pandemic. “We have been facing the concerns of fear, anxiety, depression even before the pandemic and during the pandemic and now it has compounded and putting pressure on the school system.”

District preparedness before the pandemic lessened the initial blow, Kuncham said, but it’s only the start.

“We were kind of ahead of the game being able to

address the increased needs that arose during the pandemic and post pandemic but that’s not enough, a lot more needs to be done on an ongoing basis,” he said.

Over in Rockville Centre, Jeanne Love, Assist. Superintendent, Special Education and Pupil Personnel Services said the school has a two-part strategy of how to confront these issues. “Our view in Rockville Centre is very strategic, we have a very strategic plan in place. In one vein, we want to make sure students have access to mental health care if they need it through community partnerships we have with our local hospitals.”

In the second part, Love said, “In another vein its preventative and proactive care, we’ve looked at working with our mental health staff, looking at things like selfadvocacy, identifying their self-worth, hope, having hope for the future and stability.”

Recognizing that many children with psychiatric disorders remain unidentified and untreated, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a recommendation calling for anxiety screening of asymptomatic children ages 8 to 18 who have not been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder and screening of children ages 12 to 18 for major depressive disorder.

“The key to knowing when to seek out help is to determine how the symptoms are affecting overall functioning,” says Stanley Reddy, Chair of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health. “Marked decreases in functioning at work, school, and home should be evaluated by a professional promptly before it becomes an emergency.”

The poll found in the event of a mental health emergency, 64 percent of respondents and 80 percent of respondents with children agreed that they know where to find services, while just 20 percent disagreed, and 17 percent were unsure.

Opinions were highly mixed as to whether or not mental health services on Long Island are adequate.

Thirty-six percent said they are satisfactory, 29 percent said they are not, and 35 percent were unsure. Approximately one-half of respondents from households that have used mental health services say they are adequate.

Mount Sinai South Nassau has a 36-bed inpatient mental health unit and offers behavioral health services at its Mental Health Counseling Center in Baldwin, as well as its Center for Primary and Behavioral Healthcare in Hempstead.

Learning life lessons on a farm in Vermont CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE This year it secured the funding through donations at its 20th annual Golf Outing and Bocce Tournament on Sept. 26, which it co-hosted with the La Salle Military Academy Alumni Association.

The Spring Brook Farm encompasses more than 1,000 acres, and is home to a diverse range of animals, whose upkeep and care keeps the students busy. Becker and three other faculty members accompanied 18 pupils from the school to the farm on Oct 10. They returned on Oct. 14.

“The farm trip was very fun, and the food was amazing,” said fifth-grader Mateo Mendez. “We had so much fun making apple cider and milking a cow. All the activities we did made us think outside the box, but it was still fun, because we had to use our minds to get out of the situation.

It was the best time of my life going there — I am so lucky. I wish I was still there. It really was the THE DE LA Salle School’s fifth- and seventh-grade students took part in a longstanding best time of my life.”

Hundreds eagerly attend Herald’s Senior Health Expo

October 27, 2022 — FREEPORT HERALD

BY ALEXA ANDERWKAVICH aanderwkavich@liherald.com Guests happily lined up at the Temple Beth Am in Merrick to attend RichnerLIVE and the Herald’s Senior Health & Beyond Expo, presented by UnitedHealthcare on Oct. 13, the second in a highly-anticipated series of Expos for 2022.

The free Expo is a multi-faceted event, where a myriad of trusted companies and facilities — as well as budding businesses — share their products and services with the Long Island community.

“It’s so nice to have our Expo bring the community together,” Executive Director of Corporate Relations & Events at Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLIVE Amy Amato said. “We’re proud to host this series and bring so many innovative services and pioneers in health together for the community to benefit from.”

More than 50 vendors lined the lobby and ballroom to share their expertise in wellness, services, lifestyle tips, estate planning and insurance, helpful products, and more. Attendees could also receive a free flu-shot, — provided by Mount Sinai South Nassau and Molloy University nursing students — just in time for the chilly season ahead; enjoy snacks and refreshments — courtesy of Bagel Plaza and Walker’s Shortbread; and participate in raffles.

Massages and reiki cleanses from Charmed Eclectic Healing Shoppe put guests at ease — and to take their bodies’ abilities higher, a movement session from Club Pilates introduced attendees to the wonderful world of pilates and all the benefits it can offer.

The panel discussion was kicked-off with keynote speaker Michael Krantz, licensed sales representative from UnitedHealthcare, who educated the attendees on how he helps retirees and pre-retires on their journey through the world of Medicare.

“Medicare in particular is always a complex subject matter and it was an amazing experience to be able to provide information and answer questions at the local community level” UnitedHealthcare Representative Krantz said. “I always look forward to helping those in need of understanding their different options.”

Guests also heard from panelists Hannah Glenny, manager of patient engagement strategies at Otsuka Pharmaceuticals; Khurshid Ibrahimi, PT, from Long Beach Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (Cassena Care); Dr. Lawrence Cardano, Au.D, from the Hearing Center of Long Island; Jill Wasser, utility consumer program specialist at NYS Department of Public Service; Margaret Gonzalez, senior account manager of business development at Aetna; and Donna Stefans, ESQ., founder and lead attorney at Stefans Law Group.

The audience interacted and asked questions between each speaker, with topic-titles ranging from “Clinical Trials,” “Healthy Aging and Your Hearing,” “What You Need to Know about Managed Long Term Care,” “Posture and How to Lift Heavy Objects” and more.

Dr. Cardano also offered free hearing screenings during the event; attendees

lined the hall patiently awaiting their checkups — one of the many services offered at the expo. Others included senior I.D. cards from the Town of Hempstead with Town Clerk Kate Murray, antique appraisal from Syl-Lee Antiques, and tarot card readings from the Holistic Healing Goddess — who engaged with guests on a mystical plane.

Attendees received a goody bag — courtesy of Grandell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and Oceanside Care Center — filled with special-event sections, keepsakes, information and a whole bag of bialys from Bell’s Brooklyn Bagels.

The Expo was made possible thanks to presenting sponsor United Healthcare; gold sponsors Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Stefans Law Group; silver sponsors Aetna, Parker Jewish Institute For Health Care and Rehabilitation, Long Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Hearing Center of Long Island, New York State Department of Public Service, Full Circle Medicaid, refreshment sponsor Long Beach Assisted Living.

In what’s likely to go down as a playoffclinching victory, Freeport dodged a pair of missed Syosset field goals late in the fourth quarter to hold on for a thrilling 22-21 win on a picture-perfect Homecoming day game Oct. 15.

The Red Devils, who enter this Friday’s Nassau Conference I football regular-season finale against Oceanside, stand 3-4 after blanking red-hot Baldwin last Saturday and moved up considerably in the power rankings.

“It’s the best we played defensively the entire year,” Freeport head coach Russ Cellan said after the 12-0 victory over the Bruins in one of Long Island’s longest-running rivalries. “We’re in the playoffs, it’s just a matter of what seed we get and who we’ll play,” he added. “We may end up seeing Baldwin again.

Freeport and Syosset traded touchdowns throughout the Week 6 game. The Braves led 7-0 after one quarter and 14-6 at halftime. Junior quarterback D’Angelo Gordon, who got the Red Devils on the board in the second quarter with a 1-yard touchdown run, hooked up with his younger brother Jayden, a sophomore wideout, for a 38-yard score in the third and ran the ensuing 2-point conversion for a 14-14 tie.

“D’Angelo has been tremendous for us and has nice chemistry with Jayden,” Cellan said. “They’ve hit for some long completions and touchdowns. D’Angelo stirs the pot on both sides of the ball. We’re using him at linebacker this season after he played safety in the past. It’s not ideal to have your quarterback part of so much contact, but we need him there and he loves it.”

The Braves regained a 21-14 lead early in the fourth on Michael Ricciuto’s second touchdown run of the day. Freeport responded quickly, however, on the ensuing possession and reached paydirt on a 1-yard run by senior Martese Davenport.

Then came a little razzle-dazzle for the eventual winning points — senior Nazir Jean-Lubin found senior Javon Edwards on a 2-point conversion pass with 9:23 remaining. Junior Jason Pennix led the

“Martese had the big touchdown and we used a gadget play to get the two points,” Cellan said of Davenport. “He’s been solid. He’s doing everything we ask.

He’s running the ball hard and blocking well without the ball.”

The offensive front has looked a little different in October after senior center Jonathan Maza suffered a season-ending injury Sept. 23 at Massapequa and required surgery. Junior Danny Cruz moved from guard to center, and senior Austin Patience took over at guard. “We

definitely miss Maza and had to rearrange the whole line, but Cruz is doing a nice job,” Cellan said.

The Red Devils lost hard-fought battles to Hempstead (14-8) and still undefeated Farmingdale (41-32) before getting back in the win column on Homecoming.

“Beating Syosset after those two losses was huge,” Cellan said. “It was a back-andforth game and both teams played well. We got lucky because they have a talented kicker who missed twice, including one from 42 yards that hit off the very top of the goalpost.”

FREEPORT HERALD — October 27, 2022

FREEPORT RESIDENTS MALIQUE Scarlett and Chantae Myisha McNuff got married on Sept.

28 with Town of Hempstead Clerk Kate Murray officiating the ceremony.

Six honored at fifth annual Legends Ball CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE tions to the organization and the community. Brenda Leotaud was honored posthumously.

“Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines ‘legend’ as an extremely famous or notorious person, especially in a particular field,” Legends Ball Chairwoman Angela Dickens said. “The Black Educators Committee defines ‘legend’ with the nouns Michael Cohen, Judith Kearney, Brenda Leotaud, Dr. Denise Lloyd, April Francis Taylor and Clejetter Worrells.

The 2022 legends have left a profound effect on the lives of so many children

and the community.”

Cohen, who is retired, was the superintendent of the Brentwood School District, in Suffolk County. Lloyd, Kearny and Worrells are teachers who retired from Freeport Public Schools, and Francis Taylor teaches in the Uniondale School District. Leotaud was a teacher in Freeport.

The Black Educators Committee was founded in 1968 by James Crittenden and Harding Morgan, amid the turbulence of the 1960s, to help Freeport High School students in their academic careers in high school and beyond. For more than 50

years, the organization has awarded scholarships to college-bound high school seniors based on academic achievement and financial need.

The committee’s mission of fostering and improving community relations, engaging in educational and empowering community-service projects and events, and helping deserving students pursue higher education has not changed.

The organization is funded by membership dues and fundraisers, and several of its scholarships are provided by benefactors who include present and former school administrators, instructors,

staff members, community residents, and local businesses.

“The recipients are not only in Freeport anymore,” Richardson said. “Now it has blossomed to where we’re honoring students from all over. We have different people applying for the scholarships from all over.”

Over the years, the committee has awarded scholarships to students from upstate New York, Pennsylvania and even Maryland as well as Long Island. The organization makes a point of making its scholarships inclusive, as long PART ONE PANEL as a student is graduating from high school and VICTORIA planning to go to WRIGHT college.

“All students past scholarship are welcome to recipient apply,” Richardson said. “So it’s not just students that are African-American that receive these scholarships.”

Some of the scholarships have more specific criteria — like the Community Service Award, which honors students who take part in community service activities, inside and outside school; and the Ernest J. Knight Jr. Award, which recognizes budding humanitarians, students involved in activities that improve people’s lives and reduce suffering. The President’s Award is given to students who have served in leadership positions in two or more of their high school years.

Past scholarship recipients are invited to committee events such as the Legends Ball. One of those who attended last weekend was Victoria Wright, an honoree when she graduated from Freeport High School in 2017. Wright went on to study at CUNY Baruch, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in marketing in 2021.

“These scholarships are kind of special and different, because they come from community support,” she said.

“That feels a little different compared to certain scholarships from larger companies. But especially in a community like ours, it provides relief to parents and to students alike for a lot of the very expensive costs that are associated with college. Because even if you get a full ride scholarship, a lot of the time, those don’t include things like books, and they don’t include technology fees and things like that. So this really helps (with) all those other fees that may be a hindrance to people going to college.”

In addition to its scholarships, the committee also provides free tutoring and information pop-ups at a variety of local events, and hosts a toy drive during the holiday season. To learn more, go to BlackEducatorsCommittee.org.

‘A Flea in Her Ear’ There are plenty of laughs to be had in Nassau Community College’s theatre department’s production of Georges Feydeau’s farcical French confection. Set in Paris in 1900, life insurance executive Victor Chandebise becomes the subject of an elaborate ruse concocted by his wife, Raymonde. She suspects that her husband’s sudden lack of passion in the bedroom signifies that he is cheating on her. With the help of her best friend, Lucienne, Raymonde writes Victor an anonymous letter, requesting a meeting at the dubious Frisky Puss Hotel. As is the case with stories of mistaken identity, hilarity ensues as Raymonde, Victor, Lucienne and a host of other characters gather, everybody wondering what on earth is going on.

Toys for Tots starts annual holiday drive

Marine Corps joins effort to collect and deliver toys to children around the community

By ANDRE SILVA asilva@liherald.com

The Long Island United States Marines Toys for Tots Program kicked off its annual toy drive for children in need this holiday season at the Coral House on Oct. 20.

This will be the 32nd toy drive for Toys for Tots, the largest holiday gift program for children in the nation.

Marines, elected officials, drive orga-

nizers, community members and over 100 children from Barack Obama Elementary School, in Hempstead, gathered to kick off the drive with a lunch, speeches, a performance by the American Bombshells — a Rockville Centre-based nonprofit singing group — and a surprise appearance by Santa Claus.

John Sardine, of Queens, a Marine gunnery sergeant and the Long Island Toys for Tots’ drive coordinator, said that

“It’s the best feeling in the world,” said Sardine, who was joined at the kickoff by eight of his fellow Marines.

“It gives us a sense of responsibility and accomplishment. We wear the uniform to serve our country, but it’s an even better feeling when we’re able to serve our community.”

The effort begins this month, Sardine said, with Marines and volunteers attending events and distributing boxes to local organizations to collect toys. When the boxes are filled, he said, he and his fellow Marines will pick up, count, and organize toys in a warehouse in preparation for their distribution, which begins in December.

How can I go off the grid?

Q. I was wondering if you know about how I can use my solar energy, or some other source, to control the power in my home, essentially, go off the grid. I have looked into this, and it seems very expensive to load up on batteries, but I don’t see anyone doing it.

Is it because the batteries are so expensive, or are they dangerous? Can they catch fire? Why isn’t anyone doing this?

A. When I first began to learn about energy in my environmental design classes, along with lighting, sound wave and acoustics technology, insulation, elevators — they really never touched on the dark side of energy generation and what really restricts loading up on all kinds of great technical advances. We figured that any independence onte eeper from the grid was great.

I remember driving from our campus out into the open fields of Ohio flat country to continue working, each weekend, on Darius and Savonius windmills. We constructed towers, and I was the one chosen to go to the top while others tossed up bolts and strips of metal. We did produce energy, but the number one limiter, always, is money. It all boils down to the cost, but not in the way you might initially imagine.

To put it bluntly, you are restricted by legislation and utility company controls. There is only so much you can get reimbursed for, so most people will not pursue the expense of investing in free energy because of the initial cost outlay, to go beyond what they can save from a utility company rebate or discount. The reason most people have lower solar energy bills is the way they save. In essence, you get a reduction from the utility by generating power for them, not for you. Your investment in solar panels helps utilities by generating power sent to an inverter that sends that electric current back to the power wires for distribution.

You don’t generate power for your own home or business. When you do, using batteries, you still get the benefit of a reduced bill, but only up to the $1,000 (or so) limit. The cost of the equipment and the amount of electricity you store still makes it costly, not free.

A man named Thomas Engel, in Sweden, found a method that will probably be incorporated in the future, when desperation allows for spending more to save more, by the use of magnets. Using “permanent magnets” utilizing a rare-earth metal called neodymium, Engel developed a motor that runs without degrading and without electricity (except a small charge to start the rotation of the rotors).

Since it’s a hard sell when large utilities don’t invest, the use right now for this method of energy production is mainly for nuclear spin tomography and wind generation, so it does work. Maybe someday you’ll be able to use real cost-saving energy in your home. It’s not because of fire safety — just money.

OPINIONS

oting is so easy. There used to be a single Election Day. Since 1845, that voting day was on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. If you considered voting an important civic duty, you went to your polling place and pulled the levers.

We still have an official Election Day, Nov. 8 this year, but in New York state, early voting begins on Saturday and ends Nov. 6. That’s nine days of early voting and a 10th day on Nov. 8.

Couldn’t be easier to vote, right?

But less than 60 percent of the eliJOHN gible population in the five O’CONNELL voted presidential elections between 2000 and 2016. Sixtyseven percent of eligible citizens voted in the 2020 presidential election. Kimberly Gonzales, in City & State New York, wrote that “New York’s estimated voter turnout for 2020 was 65.3 percent of eligible voters, ranking New York 30th out of 50 states for voter turnout. … In 2016, New York ranked 39th in voter turnout, when it was 57.2 percent.”

In non-presidential years like this one,

N

the national rates of participation range from 37 percent in 2014 to a high of 50 percent in 2018. In off-year elections in New York state from 2002 to 2018, an average of only 36.6 percent of those who could vote did so. Some blame low voter turnout on how hard we make it to register to vote, as though allowing for same-day registration would get more people to head to the polls.

Imagine! Requiring New Yorkers to register to vote ahead of time by presenting qualifying documents (a driver’s license or other ID) and then voting a few weeks later! Oh, the burden! Oh, the suffering!

I am of two minds on voter turnout. On one hand, if 80 to 90 percent of qualified voters went to the polls, at least the winners and losers could say the people have spoken. The way it is now, people get elected via the party primary system and general elections with embarrassingly few votes.

Then again, statewide, almost 50 percent of New York’s 12.9 million registered voters are Democrats, and only 22 percent are Republicans. There are more registered Independents in the state than members of the GOP. So getting more people out to vote in New York doesn’t mean a

H

more balanced political landscape in Albany, and of course not in New York City, where most of the partisan campaign funding — the lifeblood of politicians’ policy views — comes from.

Maybe I’m of three minds. I wish more citizens thought more about their votes vis a vis their quality of life, the cost of necessary things, their personal safety, the quality and cost of their children’s education, property crime, infrastructure disrepair, and a host of other concerns.

Nineteen of New York’s 27 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are occupied by Democrats. Our two senators are Democrats.

The Assembly has had a Democratic majority every year since 1992. Democrats have controlled the State Senate since 2019. There’s been a Democrat in the governor’s mansion since 2007.

What are the top five accomplishments this lopsided majority in Albany has delivered? Bail reform? Ha! Getting the demonstrably mentally ill off the streets?

Solving the homelessness crisis? Lower taxes? Instead of naming a few things only the left consider achievements, what are the actions state elected officials have

appy with how life is in N.Y.? With your tax rates?

With how police are treated?

taken that the vast majority of New Yorkers would applaud? Or are the Democrats interested only in satisfying their liberal lobbyists and contributors, as opposed to the general welfare? That’s the way it feels.

With all that Democratic control of legislation, taxation, education, public safety and administration, are you happy with how life is in New York? Happy with your tax rates? Happy with how police are treated? Are the residents of New York City happy with the education their children are getting? Do you want to ride the LIRR into Manhattan, and ride the subway to a show or restaurant? Do you feel that vicious thugs are treated with more respect than the victims of their criminal acts? Are you sick of politicians showing up at autumn street fairs before elections but acting like “Markles” (my new name for obnoxiously privileged, entitled, aloof snobs) the rest of their terms?

I remember a time when incumbents had to earn votes, had to justify their reelection by accomplishing things for the good and welfare of us all. Let’s vote more thoughtfully, vote for more balance in Albany, and send the politicians who’ve brought us to where we are now packing.

When real-life horrors hijack Halloween

obody wants to be a buzz-kill when it comes to Halloween. I love my candy corn as much as the next grandma, but recent events seem to have sucked the fun out of being just a little bit afraid.

The thrill of Halloween — the walk down the block in the dark, the horror masks and the strangers at the door — all seem a good way for the little ones to venture out. Especially after the lockeddown years of the pandemic, children need to go door to door in their gaudy costumes. They need RANDI to fill up their KREISS goodie bags with a dentist’s dream of hard sugar candies. They need to feel a little scared and gain some mastery over the unease.

It’s a fun time for our children, but the over-the-top marketing, the commercialization of the holiday, the orange cupcakes and pumpkin lattes feel lame. This year especially, real life is so scary that Halloween seems meh. I may feel some good jitters on Halloween, watching kids scoot through the darkness, but I will be deeply anxious a week later, on Election Day, if the pillars of our democracy start

to wobble.

The political boogeymen and women of our time — Herschel Walker, Mehmet Oz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, Kari Lake, Lauren Boebert, John Gibbs, Doug Mastriano, Joe Kent, Ron DeSantis and dozens of others — could be swept into office, or into more powerful positions, with a strong GOP showing.

Ironically, many of them, avowed anti-maskers when it comes to Covid-19, are wearing masks of duplicity these days, peddling lies and disinformation. Some are promising to challenge unfavorable election results. I’ve been scared watching Halloween horror movies, but I am terrified of losing our democracy to extremists with an authoritarian agenda.

Even pumpkins aren’t pumpkins anymore. No Halloween pumpkin in the history of the world can compare with American’s Great Pumpkin, the former president. Really, could you make up the Orange Menace if he didn’t already exist?

There’s that tape out there with him bragging about grabbing women’s genitals and getting away with it because he’s a star. There is the subpoena last week from the Jan. 6 committee, requiring him

E

to testify about events surrounding the insurrection. There are the many recordings of him demonizing minorities and insulting women, especially those who accuse him of sexual misconduct.

Halloween just cannot compare to a former American president who has indicted himself in his own words as a profoundly uncouth, blatantly racist xenophobe still trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Sorry, Halloween, you’ve been hijacked by facts on the ground. Nothing can possibly be as scary as the regular news.

Like a poison tree, Donald Trump has sent roots out all over the country, with once highly respected officials, like Army Gen. Michael Flynn, becoming acolytes and servants to the cause of white Christian nationalism.

Since the ascendency of Trump, certain bedrock beliefs, such as the peaceful transition of power in presidential elections, have been challenged. Halloween, can you really do better than that? Fake Freddie fingernails and monster teeth just don’t cut it anymore.

When I was a child, we felt nervous, in a good way, when the big kids in creepy costumes rang our doorbell. Now the kids are polite and sweet and most

gging a car? Toilet paper in the trees? You call those tricks?

Not these days.

always accompanied by parents. The trick-or-treaters are all well-behaved, Halloween, but we still have Trump huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down.

And about the whole trick thing? Egging a car? Toilet paper in the trees? You call those tricks? They’re lame when compared with the cyber wars flashing across the internet. Who can battle back against the tricksters who commandeer our social media to spread lies?

As for ghosts, Halloween, I’m seeing the spirits of Mussolini and Hitler dancing across America.

According to the Associated Press, “Michael Flynn, who just eight years ago under President Barack Obama led the U.S. military’s intelligence agency, now is at the center of a far-right Christian nationalist movement based in Florida.

He urges his supporters to get involved in local politics as a way to change the country from the bottom up.” In Sarasota, Flynn’s school board picks — backed by the Proud Boys — won.

Clearly, this year the former president and his MAGA tribe trump Halloween.

Maybe next year, fright wigs and skeleton costumes will be amusing again.

Being a little afraid is cool. Being afraid that the country as we know it is about to implode is terrifying.

Get out and exercise … your right to vote

M

ark Twain famously once said that if “voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.”

It’s that kind of cynicism about the very process of electing men and women to represent us that has plagued our democracy not just for decades, but almost from the very beginning.

Even the Founding Fathers didn’t get voting quite right. Back then, to legally cast a ballot, you had to be a white, male landowner, with rare exceptions. Over time — too much time — those rights were extended to everyone else, including ethnic minorities and, finally, women.

While far more adults are eligible to vote today than are not, the fight to suppress voting is hardly over. Efforts continue to limit who can elect their governmental leaders, and even where that’s not so prevalent, many still choose not to make the effort to mark a ballot and have it counted.

Yes, political rhetoric feels polarizing, because it is polarizing. Believe it or not, however, that’s hardly new. Election rhetoric in the 18th century was so biting and scandalous that if it still existed today, it would make grocery store tab-

loids like the National Enquirer look like serious journalism.

But we can’t allow any of that to distract us from what democracy truly is — a government of the people, by the people and for the people. That “people” is supposed to be us. Yet it won’t be “by the people” or even “for the people” if we don’t exercise our right to vote over the next couple of weeks.

The 2020 presidential election drew more than 70 percent of registered voters in Nassau County. In this year’s primaries, however, turnout plummeted to just a fraction of that. While the race between Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Long Island challenger, Lee Zeldin, may move more voters than normal to head to the polls, participation will certainly be nowhere near the levels of Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.

Politicians tend to be afraid of voters, no matter what their political persuasion. And while most face that fear and go with what the people decide, there are others who will fight for your right to vote, as long as that vote is aligned with their interests. That creates governments that are simply not representative of the people they serve, and makes it far

easier to manipulate the workings of government for the gain of a select few.

So what if Mark Twain and many people you know believe voting and politics leave a bad taste in their mouths? There is a lot that can be done to make the process more pleasant, but it won’t happen as long as too many of us don’t exercise our right to vote in the first place.

Our ballot this time around is filled with a number of races, from town councils, to the Assembly, to the State Senate, to the U.S. House of Representatives, with a number of judgeships also on the line. It should matter to you who represents you in Albany, just as it should matter to you who represents you in Washington. What’s decided in those two capitals impacts you in every way, from the taxes you pay, to how safe the roads and bridges are around you, to how you can seek health care, and so much more.

Don’t take your right to vote for granted. Casting a ballot is the most direct way to truly make your voice matter.

And when you add your voice to the chorus of other civic-minded Americans, we truly can make where we live, work and play the places we want to live, work and play.

LETTERS This Holocaust survivor didn’t need America’s help To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “When Nazis killed 6 million, where was America?” (Se pt.

29-Oct. 5): When my tiny motherin-law, Helen Diamant, who died in 2016, was 22-year-old Chella Wildenberg in 1939 Poland, Adolf Hitler invaded her country at the beginning of World War II. She suffered at the hands of Hitler’s Nazis for several years, and eventually learned that all the workers in the labor camp where she was imprisoned would soon be sent to the infamous Treblinka concentration camp to be murdered in its gas chambers, but she somehow managed to escape.

She was also able to rescue her younger brother from another work camp, but after weeks of running, hiding, freezing and starving, he finally told her he wanted them to give themselves up — knowing they would be shot to death, but also that their fear, hunger and suffering would finally

come to an end. He believed that their continuing survival was an impossibility, but Helen told him, “No, I won’t do that. I have to see the end of Hitler, and I just know he’s going to have a bad end.” She later said that belief was part of what kept her going.

Unfortunately, she and her brother eventually

got separated, and before the end of the war, he, their older brother and sister, their parents, and two dozen other relatives were all killed. But Helen kept her promise to herself to live to see the end of Hitler.

ong Island has the potential to be the East Coast’s clean energy hub. Thanks to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s dedication to making New York a leader in renewables, we’re poised to add a fleet of new offshore wind turbines that will transform our energy system.

But 10 years after Hurricane Sandy left 200,000 homes without electricity for weeks, Long Island still does not have a reliable, fortified transmission grid that could handle heightened demand, the conGARY nection of addirenewable LaBARBERA tional energy projects, like offshore wind, and more frequent intense storms due to changing climate all at once. The grid needs to be rebuilt now, so we’re ready for clean energy and prepared to withstand the next Sandy.

With a commitment to upgrading our transmission grid, Long Islanders would see clear benefits, including an influx of thousands of good-paying jobs, a reinvigoration of the middle class, and the forging of a clear path to welcoming and integrating new offshore wind projects that advance the state’s clean energy goals.

Recent grid failures around the coun-

try are reminders of our vulnerability. As frigid temperatures resulted in historic, widespread power outages throughout Texas in 2021, and wildfires continue to cause devastating outages across the Southwest, the weaknesses in our aging national grid have never been more obvious. The American Society of Civil Engineers recently estimated that 70 percent of U.S. power lines are well into the second half of their life expectancy, and The Wall Street Journal reported that the grid has become “increasingly unreliable.”

Several states have responded to climate disasters by investing in local grid-modernization projects. After Hurricane Wilma caused significant power outages throughout Florida in 2005, state regulators and electric utilities undertook initiatives to harden the grid, strengthening power lines to withstand extreme winds and replacing wood transmission structures with steel or concrete. When Hurricane Irma struck Florida in 2017, the Florida Public Service Commission concluded that the gridhardening initiatives had “markedly” reduced outage times, allowing customers — and the state’s economy — to get back to normal faster.

A similar hardening program could work on Long Island, where we some-

times struggle to maintain power in just a thunderstorm. The New York Independent System Operator is currently reviewing proposals from transmission developers, including NextEra Energy Transmission New York, to build a resilient grid for Long Island, including common-sense hardening solutions for our substations, a critical part of our transmission system. By elevating equipment on concrete pads as a protective measure against flooding and storm surge and improving communication links between substations to ensure reliability during storms, we can significantly strengthen Long Island’s power grid.

The high stakes and potential benefits could not be clearer. The time is now to move these resiliency investments to the top of the priority list.

Modernizing Long Island’s grid will ensure that we can keep the lights on cleanly and reliably while working to maintain New York’s status as a global leader in clean energy initiatives. In 2019, New York passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which makes additional electrification an essential part of the strategy to decarbonize our economy, including 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind. However, Long Island’s current transmission system is far too

to relative safety in, of all places, Germany, was working as a maid. She lived to age 99, having graced the Earth for 43 years more than the 56 years Hitler defiled it. When Hitler killed himself inside his underground bunker, he died in defeat, surrounded mainly by people who feared him. When “Miss Helen” died in her Jesup, Georgia, home, she died with dignity, surrounded by people who loved her.

The year after Hitler’s suicide, Helen and her husband, Howard, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor himself, were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Laura. They then had sons Louis, Robert and Michael, and Helen continues to live on today through Laura, Michael and Robert, and Robert’s daughter, Rachel.

Helen has often been called a Holocaust “survivor,” but she had also been a “striver” and a “thriver.” The dictionary entries for striver (“one who exerts much energy and effort; one who struggles to succeed”) and thriver (“one who grows vigorously, makes steady progress, prospers and flourishes”) could both be illustrated with pictures of my mother-in-law.

weak to transfer the renewable energy planned for the area. Grid updates are imperative to offshore wind’s success.

Most important, Long Island is positioned to become a state leader in green jobs. The region is home to some of the state’s most skilled technicians and tradespeople who are prepared for this work. Transmission developers and general contractors are willing to work with union labor in our state, and rebuilding the grid has the potential to create between 4,000 and 10,000 jobs in the region over five years of construction later this decade — injecting up to $2.7 billion into the local economy.

Upgrading our transmission system is a win-win for Long Island residents and workers. Improving Long Island’s grid will not only provide our skilled workers, and new workers, with a vital opportunity to build green infrastructure in their communities and pursue an attainable path to the middle class, but also jumpstart the region’s transition to clean energy.

Climate change is here, and the next Sandy is coming. It’s time for Long Island to take proactive steps to fortify its grid.

We can create countless good-paying jobs and build a resilient, storm-hardened transmission grid that will serve Long Islanders’ homes and businesses with a steady stream of clean and reliable energy.
