new City Manager dan Creighton was sworn in earlier this month.
At long last, Long Beach has a permanent city manager By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
The new Long Beach City Council held its first regular meeting on Jan. 2, and one of its first orders of business was to appoint a new city manager, Long Beach resident Dan Creighton. Police Commissioner Ron Walsh had served as acting city manager for the past 11 months. Creighton never applied for the job, but was instead recruited — sort of. Creighton had worked as a volunteer for new council members Brendan Finn, Chris Fiumara and Mike Reinhart during their winning campaigns last fall, as they examined the city’s finances. “We were crunching budgetary numbers … and Dan was helpful with that,” Finn
said. “We met him, and we discussed the city manager job, and he had already previously interviewed for the city manager job in 2020. “Once we saw his resume, I have to tell you, I was basically knocked out,” Finn added. “He does financial, he’s worked capital projects, he’s worked with unions, he’s worked with construction — all the things that have to be incorporated into the city manager job.” Finn concluded, “It just became very evident to us that Dan was the man we wanted.” Creighton, 53, had run unsuccessfully for City Council in 2021, which, he said, gave him some insight into how to do the city manager’s job. “I thought I really knew the city,” he said, “but when you get out and you knock on everybody’s door, and you talk to them, and Continued on page 5

Community banking is about more than just money By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com
So many of us remember when our mother or father walked us to the bank, helping us open up that savings account for the very first time. The teller — more than patient — explaining why she’s taking that $10 bill from you, and where it’s going. Today, however, more people have never stepped inside a bank than those who have, taking advantage of technological conveniences. But that doesn’t mean your neighborhood bank is going away anytime soon. “Looking back, banking was an industry that probably didn’t change for 100 years,” said Marc Perez, president of Bank of America Long Island, and a Herald Top Chief Executive Officer last year. “And then, once digital capabilities and a digital platform became available, it changed pretty quickly over a relatively short period of time.” Perez took over the Long Island portion of Bank of America in 2021, succeeding longtime president Bob Isaksen. Perez had already spent two decades with Bank of America, and was able to experience this massive paradigm shift firsthand. A number of other bank chains have consolidated and even closed branches. Bank of America, however, took a different approach.
“We have what I would call a hightech, high-touch focus,” Perez said. “We’re going to operate our business based upon what our clients tell us they want from us, not necessarily what we want to do going forward.” And that means many prefer to do their typical banking while they’re relaxing on the couch, or in-between tasks while at work. Yet, there are other aspects of banking where that face-to-face still reigns supreme. “If they’re inquiring about a car loan, or a mortgage, or investing for their future, they really still want that high-touch experience,” Perez said. Bank of America still maintains more than 60 financial centers across Long Island, he says, not only keeping money accessible, but providing jobs for communities from employees who, themselves, like giving back. Last year, leading up to the holiday season, 1,200 local employees donated more than 5,500 hours of volunteer service — the equivalent of 229 days. The local branches themselves have also invested nearly $10 million in local nonprofits over the last five years. “I think that, now more than ever, when you want to do business with a company, you want to have shared values,” Perez said. Perez himself remains active as a board member for Long Island Cares, and volunteers for a number of organi-
zations that include Island Harvest, the Interfaith Nutrition Network, Catholic Charities, and United Way of Long Island. The bank has supported Perez by fronting $500,000 to Long Island Cares so it could open a satellite center in Hampton Bays. “It’s more about creating more of a sustainable future for Long Islanders, and focusing on workforce development,” Perez said. Moving that forward from a more corporate perspective is Bank of America’s Neighborhood Builders program. Celebrating 20 years, the philanthropic effort chooses two non-profits, and gives them $200,000 to cover general operating costs. “Most of them use (the funds) for expansion of existing services, to increase their reach, or to develop wraparound services for people that they serve,” Perez said. “We also take both the director and an emerging leader from the organization, and we invite them into a leadership program that provides growth and development training to prepare them for long-term success.” Banks have always been an integral part of any community, and Perez says he’s glad not even technology can change that. “Long Island is a special place,” he said. “The people that work here also live here, play here, raise their families

Annual MLK March takes to the streets
LONG BEACH HERALD — January 18, 2024
Community members brave the frigid temperatures Monday By ANGELINA ZINGARIELLO azingariello@liherald.com
The annual Martin Luther King, Jr. March and Ceremony took place Monday, as the community came together to honor his legacy. The annual march, hosted by The Martin Luther King Center began at 11:30 a.m. from Laurelton Boulevard and West Park Avenue, weaving its way through the streets of Long Beach and concluding at the MLK Center despite the poor weather. “It was a great turn out, we were thrilled to see the outpouring of support from the community,” Executive Director of the MLK Center, Andrea Gauto, said. “Most importantly what stood out was the amount of diversity throughout the room. It was heartwarming to see a variety of ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds, celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.” The most impactful part of the march for Gauto was to have the community walk the same route Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. walked when he visited Long Beach. Following the march, a ceremony was held at the MLK Center, highlighting this year’s theme, “Pouring Life into the Future.” The ceremony honored individuals who have significantly contributed to the Long Beach MLK Center’s rebranding and success over the years. Attendees celebrated the life of MLK through various forms of art, music, dance, and more. “We were lucky enough to welcome over 150 people. Our elected officials, community leaders, and community members. County Legislator Patrick Mullaney was in attendance,” Gauto said. “Brendan Finn, President of the city council, and Dan Creighton City manager gave a moving speech. We had past Board Chairs like Ms. Jackie Odom and James Hodge speak as well.” “Our Keynote Speaker, Bishop Melton, stole the show with a speech that was moving, empowering, and thought-provoking,” she said. “Our Chairman Cedrick Coad presented special awards to Norman Wilson Jr. and Kadaja Bailey 2 of our basketball stars who have very successful careers as basketball players.” Beyond the annual celebration, The MLK Center continues to play a vital role in the community by providing specialized services to residents of Long Beach and surrounding areas, including towns like Island Park, Oceanside, Hempstead, and beyond. With a primary focus on the underserved North Park Community in Long Beach. The center promotes growth and development through a range of services, including counseling, mentoring, early childhood development, cultural enrichment, youth empower ment, career development, entrepreneurial exploration, and hands-on training in science, technology, engineering, and

Tax and Medicaid Law Changes for 2024 with a Medicaid Asset Protection Trust (MAPT) to get the five year look-back for nursing facility care. In that case, the house would be protected by the trust rather than the unreliable spousal exemption. Unless your other assets have been protected by the MAPT, an individual may keep only $30,182 and a spouse can keep up to $154,140. The major change to Medicaid is the oftendelayed imposition of the new two and a half year look-back for home care, commencing April 1, 2024. Previously, there was no lookback for home care. This resulted in people not having to worry about getting home care until they actually needed it. With the law change, the MAPT now becomes far more important as a tool to qualify you for home care than to simply protect your assets from a nursing home. Assets will have to be moved into the MAPT years ahead of time if you want to be able to afford to stay in your own home and get home health aides for assistance with the activities of daily living, should the need arise.

For 2024, the exemptions for estate taxes rise to 6.94 million for New York estate taxes, and to 13.61 million for Federal estate taxes. The annual gift tax exclusion rises to $18,000. If your estate is, or may become, greater than the New York threshold, early intervention can avoid the hefty New York estate taxes, which start at over $500,000. Some of the techniques are (1) setting up two trusts, one for husband and one for wife, and using them to double the New York exemption, (2) gifting out so much of the estate so as to reduce it below the New York exemption, at least three years before the death of the donor, and (3) using the “Santa Clause” providing that the amount over the threshold be donated to a charity or charities of your choosing so as to reduce the estate to no more than the exemption. For Medicaid, the house is an exempt asset so long as a spouse is residing there, up to $1,071,000 of equity for 2024. Seeing as over 80% of nursing home residents do not have a spouse, it is better to plan ahead

He also founded two companies, Operational Dynamics Solutions and Mechanical and Life Safety Solutions. “I had a very good position with the MTA,” Creighton said. “It was a hard decision to leave. I was only two and a half years from lifetime benefits. It was
a very difficult decision, but it’s the right thing. I love Long Beach, and I really think that I can make a difference.” He served on the city’s Zoning Board of Appeals from 2017 through 2023. Creighton’s appointment did not go unquestioned by City Council member Roy Lester, as well as some residents, at the Jan. 2 meeting. “Unfortunately, I have not been able
to interview him for this position or see his resume,” Lester said. “To my knowledge, Dan has never had a political position or dealt with a municipality in the position we now want to place him in. This is not to say he’s not capable, but the procedure seems to be indicative of a pure partisan decision-making process.” Resident Eileen Hession welcomed the three new council members, but said she was disappointed that they had hired a permanent city manager on their first day on the job, without an extensive interviewing process. “I have not seen Mr. Creighton at a council meeting since 2021, when he ran for the council and lost,” Hession said. “He lives in Westholme, but I’ve never seen him at a Westholme Civic meeting. In your campaign,” Hession added, addressing Finn, Fiumara and Reinhart, “you promised transparency, which means an open and honest government. Have you already forgotten this promise?” “You know, I think the proof is in the pudding,” Creighton said later, when asked about Hession’s comments. “I have to prove it, and I have to earn it. I’m a big believer in you don’t take people just for what they say, but what they can do. Let them prove it. It’s going to take a couple of months to prove it, but I’m sure people will have a different opinion when they get to know what I can accomplish and what I do accomplish.”

you really get to know what’s going on, you really get different perspectives. It was an eye-opening experience for me, and it was really good to meet all the different parts of the city and see what their issues were, as opposed to other areas. Until you know all the areas, you’re really at a disadvantage. So it was a really good learning experience for me, and it was perfect for this position.” Creighton grew up in Middle Village, Queens. He attended Xavier High School, in Manhattan, and Carnegie Mellon University, earning degrees in civil engineering, and engineering and public policy, in 1992. He added a master’s in business administration from Baruch College in 2005. He has lived in Long Beach for eight years with his wife and high school sweetheart, Annmarie, and their three children. After graduating from Carnegie Mellon, Creighton was a civil engineer for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection for five years, before becoming a senior engineer and director of construction at the Westchester Community College Medical Center in Valhalla. He was a senior project manager at the NYU School of Medicine, and the director of engineering at St. Johns Queens Hospital.

Lynch, a student at Sacred Heart, was named one of 300 regeneron semifinalists.
Long Beach senior is Regeneron semifinalist the New York State Science Congress last May, and she was the first Long Island private school student to take part that competition in over a quarter century. She was also one of just two high school juniors to present original research at the Association for Psychological Science Convention in Washington, D.C. Stephen Sullivan, the director of research at Sacred Heart, has had Lynch in his science research class for the past three years. As he has gotten to know and teach Lynch, Sullivan said, he has seen her grow as a student and as a classmate. “Katherine has really taken to behavioral science, because she has taken to the statistics, more than most of the girls,” he said. “She actually spends a lot of time teaching and tutoring the younger kids, and even the kids her own age, in inferential stats.” Sacred Heart has a statistics program, but doesn’t offer a stats class at the Advanced Placement level. Sometimes, Sullivan said, he thinks “Katherine is the one who’s teaching it.” “Dr. Sullivan has always encouraged

me and advocated for my work,” Lynch said in the school’s news release. “I would not be the student I am today without his unconditional support.” Lynch spent the summer in a chemistry lab at Hofstra, but “Mindset over Matter,” her project last year for AP research, was so good that she and Sullivan decided to hone it and continue it for Regeneron. “Clearly that was a good decision,” Sullivan said. “This is absolutely wonderful,” Sullivan said. “You know the ‘nice guys finish last’ business? That is not true. She’s a truly, truly wonderful human being, and it could not have happened to a better kid.” “The implications of my research have made a profound impact on my own mindset as a student and a researcher,” Lynch said. “I hope that this project can advance the conversation regarding support and equity throughout the American education system. If we can provide every student, regardless of identity or background, the opportunity to excel by focusing on the cultivation of positive intrinsic values and approaches, we will certainly set forth on an ever-better path.”

Injuries and illness were much to blame for Valley Stream Central’s difficult 0-5 start, but the Eagles are healthy now and on a positive flight path that could land them in the Nassau Class AA boys’ basketball playoffs. Their athleticism, work ethic and chemistry were on full display last Friday night in Long Beach where they led from start to finish and by as many as 23 points in a 60-48 Conference AA3 victory. “We had a lot of ups and downs at the beginning of the season with injuries and guys getting sick,” said senior Saige Frisco, who hit for 19 of his game-high 21 points in the first half to help Central build a 36-18 halftime cushion. “We’ve always had the pieces and we’re starting to show what we can do when we put it all together,” he added. Sophomore point guard Sean O’Neil had 16 points and senior Matthew Neckles 11 points and 14 rebounds as the Eagles upped their record to 5-8 overall and 4-3 in conference games. Juniors Kyle Thomas and Jamin Legagneaur and freshman Jaiya Vera all had 4 points apiece. The Marines (6-5 overall, 1-4 in AA3), who made a significant push late in the third quarter with a 14-point spurt, were navigated on both ends of the floor by senior Blake Salice-Mitchell (17 points, 10 rebounds, 6 blocks.) “These guys want to win and they believe in what it takes to win,” secondyear Central head coach Mike Wimmer said. “It’s an unselfish group and we’ve had a lot of different leading scorers.” Missed opportunities in the paint, especially in the first half, contributed greatly to Long Beach digging too deep a hole to crawl out of, head coach Scott Martin said. Senior Mike Main added 13 points and senior Shaquille Johnson chipped in 8. “We came out poorly and we were forced to get away from how we like to play,” Martin said. “We had to resort to pressuring and doubling to try to get back into the game. It worked and we turned the momentum around for a while, but

That’s when the Marines’ sense of urgency led to a run of
14 straight points, keyed by Salice-Mitchell’s six. The margin was down to single digits before the Eagles ripped off four straight baskets in the final 1:17 of the third to take a 51-34 lead into the fourth. “They’re a good team and we missed a bunch of layups early on that didn’t help,” Martin said. “I’m proud of the way we fought back. We need to keep our focus and worry about what’s in front of us.” Central hosts the rematch, which also happens to be the regular-season finale, Feb. 10.

Say ‘bahhh!’ for Hempstead’s Mulchfest By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com
The Town of Hempstead’s Mulchfest is 4 years strong, and last week, officials gathered at the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve in Merrick to announce this year’s festivities — and who this year’s event would benefit. Mulchfests are events or programs organized in some communities where Christmas trees are collected from residents after the holiday season. Instead of discarding the trees as waste, they are recycled by tur ning them into mulch. The collected trees are chipped, and the resulting mulch is often used for various purposes, such as landscaping, gardening, or erosion control. The town’s Mulchfest took place at Baldwin Park on Jan. 13 and 14. Town of Hempstead workers took the trees from residents and then processed them to create mulch. Mulchfest is a sustainable way to repurpose Christmas trees and promote environmental conservation by reducing waste and providing a valuable resource for landscaping purposes. Supervisor Don Clavin announced this year’s event alongside Town of Hempstead council members Laura Ryder, Tom Muscarella and Dorothy Goosby and Town Clerk Kate Murray. And for the second year in a row, leftover mulch is given to Levy Park’s most famous residents — a heard of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Christmas trees, despite all their piney needles, are quite the delicacy for the goats. The original herd of goats was joined by new additions in 2023, as well as some sheep. “We’ve had such rewarding feedback from people — people who have one, either taken their Christmas tree and use it in their yard and repurposing it and doing what’s great from them,” Clavin said. “Or secondly, donating it right down here. These goats are treasured at the Levy preserve. Residents love to come down and say hi to them every morning.” Clavin said Pat’s Farms, a grocery store in North Merrick on Merrick Avenue, donated excess trees this year, and it did last year. “I want to thank all the residents

Town of Hempstead officials spoke at the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve last week about its annual Mulchfest. At the event, residents can have their Christmas tress turned into mulch. Leftover mulch is given to the goats who live at the preserve. because we do a lot of fun things in the Town of Hempstead, and this is definitely one,” Clavin added. “This is an opportunity for the residents who want to do something great environmentally, or give back to the community, and see a little joy — because it’s not just the goats that appreciate it.” If residents want to turn their trees into mulch for the goats, but were unable to attend the event, they can also bring them to Levy Park. During the winter, the park is open to 4:30 p.m. daily and weather permitting. It’s located at 1600 Merrick Road in Merrick. Clavin encouraged residents to make use of the park, and take in all it has to offer. “You’ll see residents down here year round,” he said. “You have beautiful views of the city, beautiful views of the water, and it’s part of the beauty of Long Island and most importantly, you can come visit the goats.”
The Levy preserve boasts walking trails, a kayak launch and the highest summit on the South Shore of Long Island. Its year-round residents include a herd of Nigerian Dwarf goats. Despite the piney needles, Christmas trees are safe for them to eat. At the Mulchfest in Baldwin Park, Town of Hempstead employees took trees from residents. The event took place on Jan. 13 and 14.
Wood chippers were hard at work this past weekend. Mulchfests are environmentally friendly events that Town of Hempstead residents partake in. Resulting mulch is often used for various purposes, such as landscaping, gardening, or erosion control.

Bethpage Air Show earns a high honor Yearly Jones Beach event named 2023 Civilian Show of the Year The Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach has been taking to the skies every year since the early 2000s. Each year draws large crowds to see the skilled pilots and their aircraft. This year, though, it’s something a little more. The show, which will be celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, was named the 2023 Civilian Air Show of the Year by the United States Air Force Thunderbirds. The announcement was made by the Thunderbirds at the recent International Council of Air Show convention in Las Vegas. Last year, over 360,000 people attended the Bethpage Air Show, when the Thunderbirds headlined their ninth air show performance. “What an exciting way to kick off the New Year,” said George Gorman, the regional director of the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historical Preservation. “Last year’s show was one of our best, with a full lineup of exciting civilian and military performers. This year we will be celebrating a significant milestone with our 20th anniversary show. We are very humbled to have received this award and look forward to the Thunderbirds’ return in 2025.” The upcoming show at Jones Beach will take place on Saturday, May 25 and Sunday, May 26. The United States Navy Blue Angels, which headlined the first Bethpage Air Show in 2004, will headline the 20th anniversary show. “Receiving this honor is especially rewarding as we plan this year’s milestone show,” said Linda Armyn, the president and CEO of Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “It’s all about the fans and, of course, paying tribute to the brave men and women who serve our

in the kitchen Bring out those chef skills on a wintry weekend
By Karen Bloom
These winter days, as the wind howls around us, are a reminder that home is sometimes the best place to be. So settle in for some comfy nesting, and find inspiration in the kitchen. Then gather everyone ‘round for conversation and a great meal. Keep warm with hearty dishes that satisfy appetites and comfort food cravings. By using natural ingredients and relying on veggies and lean proteins, you can create many tempting meals that are tasty and healthful. The potato, for example, can be used as a starting point for something creative. From russets to reds, fingerlings to purples, the hearty potato comes in many beautiful varieties that add color and texture to beloved comfort dishes. Try these recipes for inspiration.
Country Stew
• 5 pounds bone-in short ribs, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour • 1/4 cup vegetable oil • 2 cups water • 1 1/3 cups Zinfandel wine • 1 medium onion, chopped • 1 clove garlic, minced • 2 teaspoons salt • 1/4 teaspoon pepper • 2 beef bouillon cubes • 6 large potatoes, washed, peeled and quartered • 1/2 pound small fresh mushrooms, cleaned and trimmed • 1 package (10 ounces) frozen whole green beans • 1 can (16 ounces) peeled whole tomatoes, undrained Dredge ribs in flour to coat; reserve leftover flour. Heat oil in 8-quart Dutch oven on moderate heat. Add half of ribs and brown on all sides. Once browned, remove ribs. Repeat instructions for remaining ribs. Stir in the reserved flour. While stirring, add 1 cup water and wine and stir until thickened. Return ribs to the pan. Add onion, garlic, salt, pepper and bouillon and bring to a boil. Cover and lower heat to simmer for 1 hour, or until ribs are tender. Remove ribs with slotted spoon and cover with foil to keep warm. Add potatoes, mushrooms and beans. Simmer 20 to 30 minutes, or until vegetables are tender. Add ribs and tomatoes with liquid, and heat through. Use slotted spoon to remove meat and vegetables to large serving platter. Remove gravy to serving container and serve with ribs. Yield: 6 servings.
Potato Lasagna
• 2 links Italian turkey sausage (3 1/2 ounces each) • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
• 1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese • 1 teaspoon dried basil or Italian seasoning • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 egg white • 2 cups marinara sauce, divided • 1 1/4 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, divided • 1 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese, divided Remove sausage from casing and crumble into medium skillet with onion. Cook for 10 minutes or until both are browned, breaking up sausage with back of spoon. Stir together ricotta, basil, garlic powder and egg white in small bowl. Spread 1/2 cup marinara sauce in bottom of 9-inch square baking dish. Place 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom of the dish, forming solid layer with no gaps. Drop 1/2 ricotta mixture in spoonfuls over top and spread out just a little. Sprinkle with 1/3 of mozzarella and 1/2 sausage mixture. Add 1/2 cup more sauce then repeat potato, cheese and meat layers. Top with last layer of potatoes, remaining sauce and mozzarella. Cover with plastic wrap and make small slit to vent. Microwave on high for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Yield: 4 servings.

Nassau County Museum of Art’s latest exhibition, “Our Gilded Age,” examines the appearances and the realities of an era that mirrors our own in many ways. Like the nation’s economy, American art and literature flourished during the Gilded Age. The art of John Singer Sargent, Childe Hassam, Louis Comfort Tiffany and others adorned palatial residences designed by Stanford White and Ogden Codman Jr., architect of the museum’s own quintessential Gilded Age mansion. Drawing heavily upon the local literary history of Long Island, including William Cullen Bryant, Mark Twain (who named the Gilded Age), Walt Whitman, Edith Wharton and others, the exhibition will include paintings, fashion, decorative arts including period silver and china, photographs, manuscripts, first editions and other historic memorabilia. The “Upstairs, Downstairs” approach to the life of a country house brings to life not only the storied conspicuous consumption for which the Gilded Age was infamous, but also the real lives of these many individuals who maintained the palatial estates where that lifestyle was enjoyed. On view through March 10. Nassau County Museum of Art, 1 Museum Dr., Roslyn Harbor. (516) 484-9337 or NassauMuseum.org.

LEGAL NOTICE SUMMONS (Family Law) NOTICE TO RESPONDENT (Name): ROBERT E. CARLO Petitioner’s name is: KELLY ANN QUINN CASE NUMBER FL0001558 You have been sued. Read the information below and on the next page You have 30 calendar days after this Summons and Petition are served on you to file a Response (form FL-120) at the court and have a copy served on the petitioner. A letter, phone call, or court appearance will not protect you. If you do not file your Response on time, the court may make orders affecting your marriage or domestic partnership, your property, and custody of your children. You may be ordered to pay support and attorney fees and costs. For legal advice, contact a lawyer immediately. Get help finding a lawyer at the California Courts Online Self-Help Center (www.courts.ca.gov/selfh elp), at the California Legal Services website (www.lawhelpca.org), or by contacting your local county bar association. NOTICE-RESTRAINING ORDERS ARE ON PAGE 2: These restraining orders are effective against both spouses or domestic partners until the petition is dismissed, a judgment is entered, or the court makes further orders. They are enforceable anywhere in California by any law enforcement officer who has received or seen a copy of them. FEE WAIVER: If you cannot pay the filing fee, ask the clerk for a fee waiver form. The court may order you to pay back all or part of the fees and costs that the court waived for you or the other party. 1. The name and address of the court are: Nevada County Superior Court, Truckee Courthouse 10075 Levon Avenue, Truckee, CA 96161 2. The name, address, and telephone number of the petitioner’s attorney, or the petitioner without an attorney, are: Craig C. Weaver, Esq. MOBO Law, LLP 10280 Donner Pass Road, Truckee, CA 96161 Tel. (530) 214-8700 STANDARD FAMILY LAW RESTRAINING ORDERS Starting immediately, you and your spouse or domestic partner are restrained from: 1. removing the minor children of the parties from the state or applying for a new or replacement passport for those minor children without the prior written consent of the other party or an order of the court; 2. cashing, borrowing against, canceling, transferring,
disposing of, or changing the beneficiaries of any insurance or other coverage, including life, health, automobile, and disability, held for the benefit of the parties and their minor children; 3. transferring, encumbering, hypothecating, concealing, or in any way disposing of any property, real or personal, whether community, quasicommunity, or separate, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court, except in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life; and 4. creating a nonprobate transfer or modifying a nonprobate transfer in a manner that affects the disposition of property subject to the transfer, without the written consent of the other party or an order of the court. Before revocation of a nonprobate transfer can take effect or a right of survivorship to property can be eliminated, notice of the change must be filed and served on the other party. 5. You must notify each other of any proposed extraordinary expenditures at least five business days prior to incurring these extraordinary expenditures and account to the court for all extraordinary expenditures made after these restraining orders are effective. However, you may use community property, quasicommunity property, or your own separate property to pay an attorney to help you or to pay court costs. 6. NOTICEACCESS TO AFFORDABLE HEALTH INSURANCE: Do you or someone in your household need affordable health insurance. If so, you should apply for Covered California. Covered California can help reduce the cost you pay towards high quality affordable health care. For more information, visit www.coveredca.com. Or call Covered California at 1-800-300-1506. WARNING-IMPORTANT INFORMATION California law provides that, for purposes of division of property upon dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or upon legal separation, property acquired by the parties during marriage or domestic partnership in joint form is presumed to be community property. If either party to this action should die before the jointly held community property is divided, the language in the deed that characterizes how title is held (i.e., joint tenancy, tenants in common, or community property) will be controlling, and not the community property presumption. You should
consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property. 144053

Q. I wanted to add on to the den on the side of my house. The den has been there since 1930. The problem I’m having is that if I want to make the addition so that it’s in alignment with the current den, the side distance to my property line is too close, by 12 inches, according to my building department. They say that I have to match the code requirement that was adopted in 1938, so instead of having a straight wall going all the way back, I either need to make a jog in the wall or go for a zoning variance. It just doesn’t make sense. I’m not adding a monster-sized addition, just 10 feet by 10 feet on the side of my house, behind tall hedges. My neighbor doesn’t mind, so what can I do about this?

A. Not much, except decide whether you want a ridiculous-looking room with a jog in the wall or want to spend the money and time to go through the zoning variance process. When I see cases like this, I understand the intent of the law, but not the “spirit” of the law. The intent is to prevent the construction of buildings too close to a properonte eeper ty line, based on historical catastrophes such as the London fire and the Chicago fire, both of which saw hundreds of lives lost and tens of thousands of buildings destroyed, mainly because of their closeness to one another and their ability to burn easily. We live in a modern age in which materials have been tested, analyzed, certified and regulated to limit flame spread, and communities have been set up with strict guidelines to leave spaces between buildings for safety and appearance. But knowing, or not remembering, this, communities may invoke the strictness of the law like a stern punishment, or look at the separate conditions and merits of each case, deciding that your straight wall versus a jogged wall isn’t going to hurt anyone and, being located on the side or behind your house, isn’t going to detract from the character of the community. Some building departments have been given the flexibility to make these decisions, to avoid throwing the baby out with the bathwater, and have the authority to give approval for minor issues. Some municipalities have even gone so far as to pass ordinances allowing the discretion of building departments to allow for the alignment of built structures, previously approved, on the first story. It makes sense not to put homeowners through an unnecessary hearing process, sometimes costing thousands of dollars and many months of delay, just so they can have a straight wall. Allowing alignment with a previously approved part of a building isn’t the same as having a flammable wall too close to a property line or another building. In the long run, a variance will be worth it. Otherwise the weird wall shift won’t be understood or be beneficial to you. Good luck!

hile I truly appreciated every moment of my 28 years in Congress, I’ve found that a real benefit of being retired is that I have more time to think about where I’ve been and how I got there. Don’t get me wrong. I’m still keeping myself busy in a number of areas, including writing for the Heralds. But there’s no longer the constant rush to be somewhere or get something done. It took me at least a month or so to realize that when I woke up in the morning, I could go back to sleep if I wanted pETER to. I didn’t have to catch a plane to KinG Washington or be in my district office in Massapequa Park for an earlymorning constituent meeting. Some friends suggested early on that I write about my experiences in Congress and what I witnessed — the historic, the exhilarating and the tragic. I gave it some thought, but decided to let my brain settle for a while before trying to make sense of what I had seen and whom I had met. But the more I thought
i
about it, the more I realized that in order to understand where I had been, I had to look back on how I got there, and how those earlier experiences influenced how I approached and dealt with the challenges I faced and the people I encountered. Mine is no rags-toriches tale. But it was an improbable journey that took me from the blue-collar, working-class neighborhoods of Sunnyside and St. Albans, Queens, to the halls of Congress and Oval Office meetings at the White House. From loading freight cars at the Railway Express Terminal on Manhattan’s West Side to flying on Air Force One with three presidents. From grammar school classrooms crammed with 70 kids to Notre Dame Law School. I went from working in a law firm on Vesey Street, in Lower Manhattan, across the street from where the World Trade Center twin towers were being built, to being at ground zero with President Bush days after the Sept. 11 attacks, as those still-smoldering towers lay in ruins, a burial site for almost 3,000 innocent people. From traversing the minefields of Nassau County and
i
New York politics to dealing with world statesmen and dictators. From listening to my Irish immigrant grandmother describe the Irish struggle against British rule, in which her brother was imprisoned, to working with President Bill Clinton and British Prime Minister Tony Blair on the 1998 Good Friday Agreement, which brought that 800-year struggle to an end. From being an altar boy in Queens to leading the American congressional delegation to the installation of Pope Benedict in Vatican City. Early last year, I decided it was time to start writing. Attempting to describe the improbability of this journey that took me so far from where I began, and was neither planned nor predetermined, prompted me to title my proposed memoir “The Road to God Knows Where,” from the Irish rebel song “On the One Road.” Now I’m about 60,000 words into it. Ironically, considering Israel’s current war for survival, the chapter I’m just completing focuses on being in Jerusalem as part of a congressional delegation in August 1993, when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin informed us that Isra-
’m 60,000 words into a biography with no ending in sight, but an appropriate title.
el had reached a historic agreement with Yasir Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which led weeks later to Rabin’s famous handshake with Arafat on the White House lawn, orchestrated by Clinton, creating the mood and belief that peace was inevitable. Unfortunately, of course, the chapter will conclude with Rabin’s tragic assassination just two years later. As I write more, the easier the words seem to flow. To make real progress, though, I’ll have to block out time for concentrated writing instead of just writing spasmodically when time allows. I also want to make sure that I do justice not only to the events I’ve lived through and witnessed, but, more important, the people who have been such an important part of my journey. Not just the world leaders, but also those close to me. My mother, father, brother and sister. My wife, Rosemary, our son, Sean, our daughter, Erin, and our two grandchildren. Also, the close friends who urged me to write and continue to encourage me. As to where this will lead? Only God knows where. Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Comments? pking@ liherald.com.
Hochul wins a round on the Albany battlefield
n this world, when you are presented with an opportunity to advance in some field, you often only get one chance. But when it comes to politics and you’re the governor of New York, you get four chances to succeed at the job. Last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul got her second chance to present her blueprint for the future, and she succeeded in winning over many of the state’s skeptics. At the outset of her State of the State address, Hochul made it clear to the 212 members of the Legislature that all of the federal JERRY Covid money had been spent, and if KREMER they had any plans to spend billions more of it, the cupboard was bare. Despite her warnings, there is no doubt that she will be bombarded by the Legislature with multiple requests for money that the state doesn’t have. Hochul made numerous proposals, but I’ll try to single out a few that are worth discussing. Currently, there is a
great deal of discussion about the pros and cons of artificial intelligence, but few organizations are doing in-depth research into its best uses. The governor has proposed a first-in-the-nation $275 million consortium that aims to leverage public and private-sector research into this very complex subject. Over the years, New York state has spent billions on economic development, but there have been few major success stories for any governor to brag about. Thanks to a Biden administration program, the state is getting a $5 billion grant that will be used for a major chip manufacturing plant in central New York, which will provide 10,000 jobs, and possibly more. The state will help advance that program, which may attract other job opportunities. One of the governor’s priorities that ran into heated opposition last year was her housing program. She had suggested that local zoning be overridden, and that thousands of units of new housing be built without community input. The proposal drew heated opposition from elected officials, and Hochul wisely
T
dropped the suburban portion of the plan. This time around, she focused on incentives for New York City housing, which is more likely to generate support. This past year, there was a lot of discussion of the issue of New Yorkers leaving the state for other places to live. There’s no doubt that high taxes have driven quite a few people to Florida and Texas, which have no income tax. But Hochul discussed a new state survey that shows that many New Yorkers are moving to Connecticut and New Jersey as well, where they can find affordable housing. That applies especially to places like Long Island, where many young people can’t afford to live. It’s no secret that New York, like many other states, has failed to provide enough support services for people with emotional issues. This is especially true for our young people who suffer from problems created by social media. The governor announced a number of programs that will offer more services for troubled adults and high school students. Many of the crimes we read
he governor used her State of the State address to detail the future as she sees it.
about involve people released from state or city institutions with no after-care. This headache goes back as far the early 1980s, and at least for now, there is a promise for more state action. In her address, Hochul took the opportunity to boast about the large amount of funding that has been devoted to the suburbs. Topping the list is last year’s $2 billion in education aid, which helped keep school taxes from rising in many districts. She also reminded her audience about the millions being spent on such roadways as the Long Island Expressway and others that have been repaved. All in all, Hochul did a great job in her second opportunity to meet the Albany establishment since she was elected in her own right. There is no doubt that the road ahead will be bumpy, because the Legislature has its own priorities. But the State of the State was her chance to shine, and she succeeded in enhancing her standing with taxpayers. Jerry Kremer was an Assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? jkremer@liherald.com.

There’s no such thing as too many debates
t
he political debate. It’s a chance to see and hear from those who wish to represent us in government. But for the candidates seeking office, only they can truly appreciate the stress and pressure that comes with it. There have been some extraordinary debate moments. “I want you to know I will not make age an issue of this campaign,” President Ronald Reagan, who was 73 at the time, said in his 1984 debate with the younger Walter Mondale. “I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience.” Then there was U.S. Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, running to become vice president in 1988, responding to his upper chamber colleague Dan Quayle, who had compared himself to John F. Kennedy. “I served with Jack Kennedy,” Bentsen told George H.W. Bush’s running mate. “I knew Jack Kennedy. Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you’re no Jack Kennedy.” Good or bad, memorable or forgotten, political debates are a vital thread knitting our democratic landscape together.

Letters Tom Suozzi, American Jewry and Israel — the right man at the right time To the Editor: American Jewry and Israel, America’s closest ally, need friends and fierce advocates in Congress, especially now. Tom Suozzi is the right person at the right time. Tom’s demonstrated commitment to supporting Israel, his deep understanding of government and the U.S.-Israel relationship, and his fearlessness in defending the Jewish state — including against antisemites in his own party — is exactly what we need right now. All these essential characteristics were evident in Suozzi’s very first speech on the floor of Congress, seven years ago, on Jan. 5, 2017. The then newly elected congressman condemned the recently passed United Nations Resolution 2334, which declared that all of Israel’s presence outside its pre-1967 borders was illegal, that Jewish control of the Kotel was illegal, that Jewish sovereignty in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City was illegal, and that Jewish juris-
They help voters get to know candidates and what they stand for. Debates force them to be held accountable for statements or positions they have taken. And they allow us to assess the candidates’ character, completely unfiltered. Most of all, debates show that we, as Americans, can disagree with one another, but do so in a civil way that leads to solutions rather than conflict. These forums are the very essence of listening to all sides of an issue, hearing how people stand, and then coming to our own conclusions — as well as deciding on the person we want to represent us in voicing our beliefs. In just a few weeks — on Feb. 13 — voters across the North Shore of Long Island and parts of Queens will elect a new member of Congress to replace disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos. The vote will cap a special election race between the former Democratic holder of Santos’ seat, Tom Suozzi, and Nassau County Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip. Suozzi is pushing for more debates, according to published reports. Pilip, however, fewer. At this point, there is just one debate scheduled between the two, and it hap-
pens mere days before actual Election Day. That means the thousands of people who chose to vote early will not have a chance to hear the two candidates debate the issues. Debates have perhaps never been more vital than in this race, just 15 months after voters elected Santos, a man they later discovered they knew nothing about. It is crucial that voters get to know Suozzi and Pilip, what their positions are and how they would represent their constituents. There’s no such thing as too many debates, at least not in this race. It’s great that both Suozzi and Pilip have been accessible to the media — both, for example, have agreed to individually sit down with the Herald to take questions from our reporters — but nothing compares to being on stage and taking your case straight to the people whose votes you want. We can’t have another George Santos situation. We urge Suozzi and Pilip to debate. Be civil. Share ideas. Disagree. And give all of us everything we need to make the most informed decision we can on Feb. 13.

he debt of developing countries is at “crisis” levels, the World Bank said recently. A story in The New York Times on Dec. 16 was headlined, “The Debt Problem is Enormous, and the System for Fixing It is Broken.” “The foundational ideology — later known as the ‘Washington Consensus’ — held that prosperity depended on unhindered trade, deregulation and the primacy of private investment,” the article explained. “Nearly 80 years later, the global financial archimeL tecture is outdated, dysfunctional GUrtov and unjust.” Indeed, the world is awash in government debt, led by the United States, Japan and China, which together account for about half the total. But great powers have many options for handling indebtedness. Small, economically weak countries do not. The Washington Consensus reflects American and European economic predominance — not just World Bank and International Monetary Fund leadership, but also the U.S. Treasury Department and the global network of financial centers that stretches from New York and Chicago to Frankfurt and Zur-
ich. Predominance means the ability to dictate terms of loans. Over many years, World Bank and IMF decisions have aimed to condition loans to poor and middle-income countries on their openness to private investment, free trade, and deregulation of state-run agencies — roads, railways, banks, key industries. Openness translates to opportunities for Western capital to penetrate developing-world economies, often resulting in the hollowing out, if not the elimination, of private and state-owned businesses. Large borrowers also face high interest rates. To ensure repayment, the World Bank and IMF preach austerity: Governments should slash social welfare programs to pay down their debt. Any family deeply in debt would understand the terrible choice facing those governments: Stay on good terms with the bankers by eliminating or reducing subsidies to the poor for food, health care, and fuel. Consequently, António Guterres, United Nations secretary general, said in the Times article: “Even the most fundamental goals on hunger and poverty have gone into reverse after decades of progress.” The global debt crisis isn’t a new problem, just one that is surging again.

As the Times explained, “Pounded by the Covid-19 pandemic, spiking food and energy prices related to the war in Ukraine, and higher interest rates, lowand middle-income countries are swimming in debt and facing slow growth.” Meanwhile, China has made billions of dollars in loans to poor countries that cannot possibly be repaid. China proclaims that its loans come without demands for austerity and with lower interest rates. But recipients may have to pay the loans back with access to ports and rail lines, extraction of mineral and other resources, use of Chinese labor, environmental damage, and adherence to Chinese policy views on, for example, human rights and Taiwan. The debt crisis is one symptom of a development crisis, in which far too many countries do not have the financial resources to support decent living conditions. Moreover, these countries are often the victims of rich countries’ behavior, as in the case of climate change. As one source pointed out, the richest 1 percent of the world’s population, 80 million people, account for about half of global carbon emissions, while the poorest 50 percent, 3.9 billion people, account for about 8 percent of carbon emissions. The typical solution to the debt prob-
ar too many countries don’t have the resources to support decent living conditions.
Letters diction over holy sites such as the Cave of Machpelah, in Hebron — where tradition holds that Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah and Leah are buried — was illegal. In that brief but impactful speech, Suozzi eviscerated the U.N. resolution’s wrongful notion that Jewish life in the eternal Jewish homeland was an obstacle to peace. Rather, as Tom stated that day, the obstacle to peace was “anti-Israel terrorism.” The fact that he chose to stand up for Israel on Day One of his congressional career is a testament to his genuine and heartfelt commitment. Of all the issues on which he campaigned; of all the issues that he and his supporters cared about; of all the governmental and political forces and pressures pushing and pulling him to make a statement about this or that, Suozzi devoted his first speech in that hallowed chamber to defending the safety and security of the Jewish state. He did so despite the fact that it was a prior Democratic administration that declined to veto the U.N. resolution, thus letting it reach the Security Council for a vote in the first place. This tells us that Tom will not back down, will not relent, and will not look the other way when Israel is unjustly singled out, maligned and attacked. Tom marshaled the evidence, and deployed his understanding of government
lem has been to give developing countries seats at the table where decisions are made. That might help if the major players, starting with the U.S., were ever persuaded to reduce their voting power. Even then, it is the loan conditions — the amount of money available, the high interest rates and terms of repayment — that would still depend on the good graces of the major financial institutions. And those institutions, to put it mildly, don’t believe in being charitable. The Times story failed to report on bottom-up approaches to development in the human interest. Giving aid or loan relief means dealing with governments that may be corrupt, excessively bureaucratic and incompetent, dominated by the military, and authoritarian — in any of these cases, giving low priority to human security. Channeling funds to non-governmental organizations with experience in promoting human development is far more likely to help than providing unworthy governments with debt relief. There are plenty of grass-roots development programs that work — for example, in microfinance. The real choice for international financial organizations is, do you want to bail out governments, or empower people?

and the U.S.-Israel relationship, to clearly demonstrate that he took the job seriously and would continue to deliver. We need a representative in Congress who believes in the fundamental right of the Jewish people to self-determination and security, and who has proven that he will show up prepared and able to work every lever of government to get results. Tom has the knowledge of how government works, the relationships on both sides of the aisle, and the understanding of our issues to get the job done. He has continued to be one of Israel and American Jewry’s fiercest advocates, fighting for unconditional aid for Iron Dome and David’s Sling, condemning antisemitic comments by Democratic colleagues like Ilhan Omar, passing bipartisan legislation to sanction the terrorist use of human shields, and even traveling to Israel as recently as December to support Israel and Jews throughout the world during this difficult time. Governing is hard. For American Jewry and America’s closest ally, Israel, Tom Suozzi is the right person at the right time, for the right place. That place is the United States Congress.
