OBITUARY

Dorothy Sellers passes at 109 A loyal Freeporter since the 1940s By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

DOROTHY SELLERS SHARED slices of her 108th birthday cake at her 2021 celebration with the crowd that surprised her at her Freeport home of 63 years.

Longtime Freeport resident Dorothy Sellers died peacefully in her sleep at her home on Ocean Avenue on Oct. 6. She was 109. Sellers, a Freeporter since the 1940s, was well-known in the village, something of a centenarian celebrity. She was born on September 18, 1913, to Mary Pearl and William George Sellers in Connellsville, Pennsylvania, a prosperous coal and coke town in the hills southeast of Pittsburgh. According to her grand-

niece Mary Alice Harper, who supplied all of the information for this obituary, the Sellers family was well-known in town, and Dorothy and her older sister, Virginia, had a childhood filled with social events, regular trips to the Car ne gie Library, picnics along the Youghiogheny River and treks in the woods, which sparked her lifelong love of nature. Dorothy took part in school plays, wrote poetry, and designed her own greeting cards while in high school, herCONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Angela’s Warriors battles breast cancer in late victim’s honor By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

Angela’s Warriors raised awareness of breast cancer, and money to fight the disease, last month. Patricia Spampanato, of Freeport, founded Angela’s Warriors earlier this year when her best friend, Angela Isernia, lost her 11-year-long battle against the disease at age 53. Isernia, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer in 2011, died in March. Since then, Spampanato has made it her mission to raise money for the nonprofit American Cancer Society.

“I was always with her for treatments and everything — even the surgeries,” Spampanato said. “I don’t think anybody should fight cancer alone. So I decided to join the American Cancer Society … to help get donations.” Angela’s Warriors raised money through two events in October, the first a breast cancer awareness event on Oct. 15 at the Helm Restaurant on Guy Lombardo Avenue, organized by Spampanato. She canvassed Freeport businesses for donations, and asked for gift certificate or gift baskets that could be given away at the event. In addition to gift vouchers and more

than two dozen gift baskets, there were several unique prizes, including tickets for a Keith Urban show at UBS Arena, family passes to Hershey Park in Pennsylvania, tickets to Adventureland — and an autograph from Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, of whom Isernia was a longtime fan. “The whole time Angela was battling cancer, she was still a big Giants fan,” Spampanato said. “So we wrote to the New York Giants, and they gave me Daniel Jones’s autograph to donate. So that was a big plus to us.” Spampanato also designed a T-shirt that was sold online to

commemorate her friend and attract more donations. The breast cancer ribbon and “Angela’s Warriors” were emblazoned on the front of the gray shirts, which were not only sold at the Helm Restaurant event, but also promoted online all month. “I want to thank all my friends, family and all those who came to the event at the

Helm, helping raise a combined total of $4,127 towards breast cancer awareness,” Spampanato said. T he second fundraising effort of month was Angela’s Warriors’ participation in the 29th annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk on Oct. 16 at Jones Beach, the day CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

JEREMY’S MISFITS AND the Nassau Aviators softball teams were allowed to take part in their long-awaited showdown at the Fall Festival.

Fall Festival returns with a new tradition By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

he annual Freeport Fall Festival returned and was held in Woodcleft Avenue on Oct. 30. The Village of Freeport was thrilled with the significant number of residents who attended the event and participated in the celebrations and other festival-related activities. Visitors were able to observe the Halloween themed parade and participate in various activities such as trick or treating, a chowder contest, and shopping at the farmer’s market. The Board of Trustees and Mayor Kennedy expressed their gratitude to everyone who took part in the festivities. Many children took pictures with the Freeport Memorial Library’s “Bookmonster,” a vehicle dressed to resemble a monster with eyeballs, fangs, and caution tape wrapped around it. The library’s staff distributed bookmarks, pencils, little toys, and information about their upcoming events and programs. The 33rd annual Freeport Fire Expo was also held during the fall celebration, with the fire department doing live demonstrations, displaying fire apparatus, and giving away other goods. After five years of competing at Eisenhower Park in Westbury, the Nassau Aviators and Jeremy’s Misfits finally got their big break when they were permitted to compete against each other for the first time at the Fall Festival on the municipal parking lot at the Nautical Mile. The Nassau Aviators are a wheelchair softball team made up of disabled players on wheelchairs that compete against Jeremy’s Misfits, a team of able-bodied players based in Freeport and sponsored by Jeremy’s Ale House, a restaurant and bar on the Nautical Mile. For years, the two teams had hoped to play a game during the Freeport annual festival. However, the pandemic proved to be a stumbling block, making staging this spectacle difficult while it was still in the planning phases. The two teams were eventually allowed to take part in their dream match thanks to adequate organizing and outreach to the village and community, and they hope their adversarial games may become an annual Freeport festival tradition. The Nassau Aviators in the end, ultimately defeated Jeremys Misfits 9-5.

HUNDREDS OF RESIDENTS attended the annual Freeport Fall Festival to engage in various fall and Halloween-themed activities. THE FREEPORT MEMORIAL Library set up their “Bookmonster” station, enticing passing children to take a selfie, collect goods, and learn more about upcoming events.

Sellers spent nearly 80 years in Freeport CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE alding her artistic aspirations. She manifested an early dedication to civic responsibility as a member of the Girl Reserves, and to academics as a member of the National Honor Society. She graduated from Connellsville High School in 1931, and enrolled at Ohio Wesleyan University that fall as an English major. The Great Depression and family tragedies had a major impact on Sellers’s life, Harper told the Herald. Her family’s home, known as the “show-place of Connellsville,” was devastated by a fire while she was a junior in high school, and the contents were pilfered by local residents. Sellers subsequently recounted going to school after the incident and seeing other students wearing her clothing. With her father’s coal business faltering, Dorothy was forced to drop out of college after only one year, and William Sellers died of heart disease the following year. Dorothy, who was known for her perpetually optimistic perspective on life, moved to New York City to look for work to support herself and her mother. After an initially fruitless job search, she got her first major break, landing a job at the L. K. Liggett Drug Company, where she advanced to become an executive secretary. Over the years she had similar positions, assisting vice presidents and presidents, at the Calvert Distillers Cor-

poration, the Frankfort Distilling Company and, eventually, Seagram Company Ltd. She retired in 1981. Sellers spent her leisure time at Jones Beach, Harper said, organizing cocktail parties at her house, going to concerts and visiting museums, but she spent the most of her time working in her basement workshop. By the 1940s, she had a flourishing side business making Easter and Christmas ornamental miniatures that she sold under the label It’s a Dotti Sellers Original. None other than the Waldorf Astoria gift shop featured her crafted Easter egg dioramas, papier-mâché angels and tiny illuminated Christmas trees. One of her trees was sent to President Herbert Hoover’s post-presidency residence at the Waldorf Astoria residence, and another was given to President Dwight D. Eisenhower at the White House. Sellers, who lived in Freeport for nearly eight decades, cherished the area, the people and the village’s proximity to New York City, and led a full social life, according to Harper. She had been born before women were granted the right to vote, but she never failed to exercise that privilege long after the 19th Amendment was ratified. She even switched political parties in order to support presidential candidate Hilary Clinton in the 2016, and Clinton sent her a handwritten message

Fire Safety Month wraps up Baldwin fire fighters to raise awareness for fire safety by teaching kindergartners on Oct. 26.

For decades, Sellers supported the Freeport Historical Society, the Planting Fields Arboretum of Oyster Bay, and Friends of Freeport. She often used the Freeport Memorial Library. She contin-

ued to exercise at the Freeport Recreation Center well into her early 100s. She had the distinction of having withstood two pandemics, the Spanish flu and Covid-19, and she told numerous guests tales of the adventures she had over the years, which included visits to the 1939 World’s Fair, dancing at one of President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s inaugural balls, attending the Kentucky Derby in 1948, attending a fashion show in Paris in the 1960s, and many others. Last year, the Freeport community honored Sellers when she turned 108, with a raucous parade of fire trucks and police cars that made their way past her home with sirens blared in a birthday salute. She watched Mayor Robert Kennedy light candles in the shapes of a 1, a 0 and an 8 while the parade passed by in celebration. Sellers was predeceased by her sister, Virginia Hornberger, and is survived by a niece, Patricia L. Harper; a nephew, Stephan H. Hornberger, and his wife, Nancy; two grandnephews, Ian L. Harper; and Kusisami S. Hornberger, his wife, Laura, and their daughter; and two grandnieces, Harper; and Ch’uyasonqo H. Lane, her husband, David, and their two daughters and son. Sellers, Harper added, will be remembered by a large number of friends, both inside and outside the Freeport village limits.

Baldwin community runs to fight illnesses

FREEPORT HERALD — November 3, 2022 Courtesy Ed Grenzig, Long Island Running Photos

THE 5K RACE started at 9:30 a.m. after runners enjoyed refreshments and the Pumpkin Fun Run. “It was a beautiful celebration of my wife’s life, on a perfect sunny morning,” said Volpe. The non-profit Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) operates from Montauk Point, Long Island to the Canadian border. The association is comprised of approximately 100,000 youth soccer players — both boys and girls —and more than 25,000 volunteer. Vogt said ENYYSA exists to promote and enhance the

game of soccer for children and teenagers between the ages of 5 and 19 years old, and encourage the healthy development of youth players, coaches, referees and administrators. To donate to the Leukemia and Lymphoma society, visit pages.lls.org/tnt/nyc/yourway23/jvolpe. –Andre Silva

Runners raised funds to fight against leukemia and lymphoma this weekend at Baldwin Harbor Park. The Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association (ENYYSA) promoted the 11 Annual Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run on Saturday, October 29 at 9 a.m. at Baldwin Harbor Park located on 3232 Grand Avenue. Families and runners joined together to raise donations for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Long Island Chapter located in Melville, by participating in The Pumpkin Fun Run and the 5K race at 9:30 am. Randy Vogt, director of public relations for the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association, said supporting blood cancer research is important to the local soccer community because of the life of Marianne Volpe. Volpe, a Baldwin resident was 56 years old in October 2011 when she died of Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia — an aggressive form of blood cancer, leaving behind her husband Jim, daughters Chelsea and Shaun, three brothers, five sisters and countless friends. Vogt said there are many stories of people like Marianne Volpe, whose lives are cut short by this disease. Jim Volpe is now a Long Island Junior Soccer League (LIJSL) Hall of Famer and Chairperson of the Eastern New York Olympic Development Program — a program designed to identify and advance talented youth throughout the state — for nearly a decade. The Volpe family started the Marianne Volpe 5K and Pumpkin Fun Run the day before Hurricane Sandy hit the New York metro area in 2012 and both the soccer and since then raised over 250,000 dollars to fight debilitating and fatal diseases. Volpe said he’s always proud to take part in the Baldwin community and enjoys community members like high school students and troops from the boys and girls post to participate in the run. He said this year they surpassed a total of 280,000 dollars in proceeds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society.

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

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

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

force, or just general challenges from Covid.” The presenting sponsor for Herald Family Business Awards was PSEG Long Island, with Easy Tax Credits as a major sponsor. Partner sponsorships included Vishnick McGovern and Milizio, Lessing’s Hospitality Group, Whitmore Agency, The Bruderman Family of Companies, Maple Lanes RVC, PBI Payroll and Paraco Gas.

HERALD SPORTS Ferguson joins Jets “Ring of Honor”

Tony Bellissimo/Herald

John Heckman/Herald

D’BRICKASHAW FERGUSON, WHO helped Freeport to its first-ever Long Island football championship in 2000, never missed a game in a 10-year NFL career with the New York Jets. By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

From Freeport High School to the University of Virginia and the National Football League, D’Brickashaw Ferguson can add “New York Jets Ring of Honor” to his impressive resume. Ferguson, a 2001 Freeport graduate who helped the Red Devils to Nassau County and Long Island championships as a junior two-way star, had his No. 60 honored by the Jets during halftime of Sunday’s game against New England at MetLife Stadium. “This is a very surreal moment,” said Ferguson, a three-time Pro Bowler who had his No. 66 retired by the University of Virginia where he started 49 straight games and was named All-American in 2005. “Coming into the game, you have no idea how it’s going to end,” he added. “I

don’t think this honor has really hit me yet.” The fourth-overall pick of the 2006 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-6, 310-pound Ferguson played 160 consecutive regular-season contests and never missed a game in his career, including an incredible 10,707 out of 10,708 offensive snaps. “His performance and production at left tackle was the absolute best he could be,” Jets Director of Player Development Dave Szott said. “He fulfilled his potential to the maximum. There’s nothing that Brick didn’t do to his upmost ability, and there’s no box you can check in his career and personality that wasn’t an A-plus.” At Ferguson’s retirement press conference April 9, 2016, Jets Ambassador Woody Johnson said: “There are a few things you hope for when you select a player fourth overall in the NFL draft. First, you want him to be a responsible citizen and role model. Second, you want him

Your quarterback get sacked? We’ve Got Specialists For That ®

OC1129_RunningMan_Herald_Strip_10.25x2.5_Football.indd 1

to be a leader in the locker room. Third, you want him to be reliable while performing at a high level for a number of seasons. “D’Brickashaw has exceeded each of these expectations during his career and will be remembered as one of the finest players in Jets history.” Born with a heart murmur, Ferguson said he underwent successful open-heart surgery to correct the defect when he was 8 years old. That not only didn’t stop him from getting on a football field, but motivated him even more. Upon his retirement at age 32, he said: “This all started because a young boy, who happen to have open-heart surgery, definitely wanted to prove his toughness not only to himself but to everybody by playing football.” Ferguson didn’t begin playing organized football until he was a student at Freeport Middle School. When he reached high school, he was “tall and lanky,” Freeport head coach Russ Cellan said. “Brick had an 87-inch wingspan and I could tell right away he was special, not just as a football player but as a person.” Ferguson was a three-year varsity starter at offensive tackle and defensive end, and also one of Freeport’s captains. In 2001 he won the Thorp Award, given to Nassau County’s most outstanding player, as well as the Martone Award as the county’s best lineman. “He was a tremendous student-athlete — the total package,” Cellan said. Ferguson recalled a magical 2000 when the Red Devils capped a perfect season with a 20-19 overtime victory over Commack for their first-ever Long Island title. “I remember Eddie Gordon sacking their quarterback [Mike Prahalis] on the last play,” Ferguson said of Commack’s failed two-point conversion attempt. “Freeport was always a great environment,” he added. “My teammates and coaches were phenomenal.”

Angela’s Warriors to be a Freeport mainstay CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE after the gala at the Helm. The walk is the American Cancer Society’s biggest breast cancer initiative in the country, attracting over 60,000 walkers — cancer survivors, volunteers and supporters. The theme is saving lives, remembering those who have been lost to the disease, raising funds for a b r e a s t - c a n c e rfree future and, in the meantime, making sure no one goes through breast cancer alone. “ Pat r i c i a … started her team for our Making Strides Against Breast cancer STEPHANIE walk for her ROBB friend Angela, development■ who unfortunately lost her manager,■■ battle this past American■Cancer■ March after 11 Society years,” the socie t y ’s d eve l o p ment manager, Stephanie Robb, said. “So she wanted to start her team. … But she also wanted to raise some funds for our critical research and programming, and they were able to raise over $4,000.” The 109-year-old organization funds cancer research and supports cancer patients and their patients in a variety of ways, including offering free transportation to doctors’ appointments and chemotherapy treatments, free accommodations as part of its Road to Recovery program, and a live 24/7 helpline and other resources at cancer.org.

STEPPING OUT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Coll targets affordability, bail reform in run

GENERAL ELECTION Candidates

By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com

James Coll has never held a political office before, but everything inside him makes him feel he’s in it for all the right reasons. “I’m running because I’m concerned about the direction of the state,” Coll told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable event. “I have two kids in high school, and I want them to grow up in Nassau County. I want them to raise their families here, the same way that I did. Young people aren’t doing that anymore. They’re leaving where they were raised — and now their parents are following them — and we need to figure out a way to reverse that.” The 49-year-old Republican candidate is a retired New York Police Department detective from Seaford who spent 21 years on the force. Today, he teaches constitutional law at Nassau Community College.

Darling keeps firm focus on major change mfarghaly@liherald.com

Taylor Darling has a simple motto in life: “Excellence.” It’s something she adheres to every day, in every interaction — and in her role as an Assemblywoman. Darling — who hopes voters return her to Albany when they cast their ballots on Tuesday — moved to Nassau County when she was 11, graduating from Uniondale High School when she was 16. She had her bachelor’s degree while still a teenager, before traveling to Georgie to earn her Ph.D. in clinical psychology. After returning home to care for her mother, Darling enrolled in a master’s degree program at Hofstra University. When she first ran for the Assembly in 2018, she committed to addressing the underlying problems that affected the people in her district. Problems like hunger and poverty. “What is it that this community wants?” Taylor asked reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable session. “They wanted a return on their investment. And once we put everything on the table, excellence was really what we felt like people wanted.” Darling has especially focused on strengthening and stabilizing Hempstead’s school districts, starting with what she describes as insufficient bus service for the Hempstead school system, where some students walk at least three miles through hazardous pedestrian zones.

“We have looked at so many creative solutions with the state education department to resolve this.” Darling said, “It is to the point where when I get my allocations this year, I’m giving a million dollars to Hempstead. This is the first time anyone’s given any money to this issue. That is going to help our students who are the furthest while we think of a way to find funding for districtwide busing.” Darling also says she’s working on a plan to supplement transportation expenses for home care employees since transportation, combined with the high cost of living and difficulties earning a living wage in Nassau County, remains a barrier. Darling cites the necessity to own a car, insurance, maintenance costs, and gasoline on top of mortgage or rent payments and growing utility bills as reasons why some can no longer afford to live in her district. She’s received a number of calls from people worried about losing their homes. “The minimum wage breakdown is definitely something we need to examine heavily and urgently.” Darling said, “So we’re going to be definitely focus on that this session.” The Assemblywoman has since passed

Tim Baker/Herald

legislation ceremonially renaming a section of the state highway system in Uniondale “Melvin Harris Jr. Way,” commemorating the late community leader and advocate who served on Nassau’s human rights commissioner and was president of the NAACP’s Hempstead Chapter. Darling also oversaw the Hempstead Union Free School District, declared racism a public health crisis, and formed a working group to promote racial equity

across the state. Overall, Darling wants to see her district become more resourceful and affordable to curb the exodus of both young and old. “Don’t listen to what people say,” Darling said. “Look at what they do. If you are in there voting, and you can say, the incumbent has been there, they’ve answered the phone, they’ve worked hard for me — that’s who you vote for.”

Johnson believes that if it’s right, it’s right LAMONT JOHNSON BELIEVES his experience on the Hempstead school board makes him perfect to represent the communities in Albany — especially since the Assembly doesn’t always pay attention to places like Uniondale and Roosevelt.

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

Like many who are seeking office against an incumbent, LaMont Johnson hopes to bring about change. The Hempstead village native hopes his extensive background ranging from a New York City cop, to his time as a Hempstead village trustee and a member of the Hempstead School District board will be more than enough to convince voters to send the Republican to Albany. Focusing on education and the district’s schools is one of Johnson’s main campaign objectives. During his time on the school board, Johnson touts the contributions he says helped Hempstead — which once had just a third of its high school seniors graduate — become one of New York’s most-improved school districts. “At one time, we had a graduation rate that was approximately 37 percent,” Lamont told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable event, “We’re over 80 percent now. We have several students that are getting full rides to universities such as Harvard, Princeton and Columbia.” Johnson emphasizes that even with the rise of graduation rates, test scores and student proficiency, Uniondale and Roosevelt schools should not be overlooked. One of Johnson’s other primary concerns is crime — an area he feels receives inadequate attention. He contends that contemporary elected politicians downplay crime and do not do enough to com-

bat its rise, specifically referencing a house party in Freeport last month where four teenagers were injured in a drive-by shooting. “There’s oftentimes — especially if they are already elected — that they would make it seem like things are going better than they really are,” Johnson said. “For so many districts, you have a serious problem with crime, and most of these crimes are homicides and gun violence. I don’t think enough attention is given.” Johnson says fixing it requires reshaping the bail system. He also says it’s time to provide more work opportunities for those with criminal histories and those without college degrees. That way, Nassau County can become more accessible and affordable. Johnson also prefers single-family houses in the community over what he calls massive apartment buildings. He believes that by building more affordable homes through various initiatives, potential first-time homeowners could actually become homeowners. But once they get here, they’ll need something for their families to do. “Hempstead has absolutely no entertainment,” Johnson said. “If you go to Rockville Centre, you see people on the

Tim Baker/Herald

Long Island Rail Road coming from different parts of Long Island and the city. They have many restaurants, they have bars, things of that nature. You have to have some type of nightlife, some type of entertainment, and Hempstead is devoid of entertainment.” And it’s not just making sure people have something to do. It’s also about money. Local officials can’t collect tax revenue if purchases on entertainment is hap-

pening somewhere else, Johnson said. Ultimately, if he is elected to the Assembly, Johnson hopes to bring about significant improvements for the district in terms of education, crime and enhancing the lives of individuals in the community. “If the idea makes sense, it makes sense,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if it’s coming from a Democrat. It doesn’t matter if it’s coming from a Republican. What’s right is right.”

FREEPORT HERALD — November 3, 2022

TAYLOR DARLING SAYS she’s been invested in the community, whether as someone living and working there, and as the Assemblywoman in recent years. Yet, issues like hunger and poverty remain — something she vows to continue her focus on if re-elected to another term.

The Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency, according to CEO Fred Parola, has given preliminary approval to a package of economic development benefits that will allow a Forest Hills, Queens-based wholesale dairy distributor with facilities in Inwood to purchase a warehouse in Freeport where it plans to consolidate operations. At their meeting on Oct. 25, the Industrial Development Agency granted the benefits to Natural Foods Inc. and its real estate company, 159 Hanse Development LLC, preliminary approval. The Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency is a public benefit agency with the delegation to assist qualifying businesses in relocating, expanding, or expanding in the Town of Hempstead. New York State has established the Town of Hempstead Industrial Growth Agency to encourage economic development through financial support and tax reduction. Natural Foods, founded in 2004, sells commodity, organic, natural, and dairy products to over 900 retailers in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. Natural Foods and 149 Hanse aim to buy and remodel an existing 67,307 square foot industrial facility on 2.3

acres in the Village of Freeport at 149 Hanse Ave. The property once housed Columbia Cement Co., an adhesives producer, and the State Department of Environmental Conservation designated it as a Super Fund site. The facility will be modernized with energy-efficient, cutting-edge technology to facilitate the delivery of highquality, organic, and natural dairy products throughout the East Coast. Natural Foods will benefit from cheaper electric prices from the municipality of Freeport. Natural Foods plans to relocate 50 employees from 475 Doughty Blvd. in Inwood and Forest Hills, Queens, and will generate another 50 jobs within two years of the $10 million project’s completion. The project is estimated to create roughly ten construction jobs. “In addition to generating many new employment opportunities for the town and The Village of Freeport, this project will rehabilitate a long-vacant building and generate new revenues for the various taxing authorities,” said CEO of the Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency, Fred Parola. “We are pleased to begin the process of incentivizing the project.” More than $2 billion in project financing has come from Industrial Development Agency aid, and 11,000 permanent jobs have been created or retained to strengthen the town’s economy.

Time to replace the kitchen

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

OPINIONS

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

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

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

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

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

An election that will move heaven and earth

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

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

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

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

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

Making ‘affordable’ housing actually affordable

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

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

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

LETTERS Keep it up, Randi! To the Editor: I just felt a need to write to let Randi Kreiss know how much I look forward to her columns every week. When I read them, I feel there still is some sanity in this world, and hopefully good will conquer evil. Randi is a beautifully seasoned writer, and she speaks for so many people. She really knows how to make a connection with her readers. Thanks, Randi, for sharing your thoughts each week. You never disappoint. I truly love your writing. NANCY SULLIVAN Franklin Square

Doesn’t Randi have anything else to write about? To the Editor: I have to believe that Randi Kreiss

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

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

OPINIONS

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

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

LETTERS ‘You are making democracy work’

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

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

FRAMEWORK by Tim Baker

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

One last treescape of green — Glen Cove

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