REsidENTs AwokE To surreal scenes the morning after Hurricane Sandy struck Long Beach on Oct. 29, 2012.

Superstorm Sandy, 10 years later Those who were here as the waters rose recall the devastation and its aftermath

By JAMEs BERNsTEiN jbernstein@liherald.com

O

n the morning of Oct. 30, 2012, after the worst storm in a century the previous night had savaged Long Beach, most of the city was basically a dirty brown river.

Cars were buried in sand. Others floated by homes. Mattresses and other household furniture drifted down streets. Power was gone. Treasured family albums lay at the bottom of three to five feet of water, in soaked backyards and on ruined front porches.

To Rich De Palma, then a Long Beach Police Department patrol sergeant, now an inspector, the scene was surreal as he drove around the city the morning after the storm.

“The city was a mess,” De Palma said last week. “I remember the high waters,” he said. “I was seeing water everywhere.”

But it was all real. Long Beach had been slammed by what came to be known as Superstorm Sandy, which began as a tropical wave in the Caribbean Sea that Oct. 22, strengthened to a tropical storm in a few hours and then into a hurricane, and began zeroing in on the Eastern Seaboard.

RVC, MER, LYN, VAL

Early on Oct. 29, Sandy struck New Jersey and barreled into New York City and its suburbs. In all, the storm hit 24 Eastern states. In New York, flooded streets forced the closing of tunnels and bridges, and prompted an alarmed Mayor Mike Bloomberg to plead with residents to evacuate.

Long Beach was among the hardest hit areas of Nassau County. The Atlantic Ocean and Reynolds Channel met squarely at City Hall downtown. The boardwalk, the city’s most iconic structure, was all but destroyed. Several homes in the Canals section burned to the ground.

ordered a 7 p.m. curfew on Oct. 29. Incredibly, the city reported no fatalities as a result of the storm, but 44 people were injured. A total of 47 people were killed in New York City.

Scott Kemins, Long Beach’s fire chief and building commissioner, said this week that more than 1,000 homes in the city were deemed “substantially damaged” — meaning unlivable — by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

ParT of The boardwalk collapsed on a storage facility, which has been repaired.

Boardwalk a disaster, re-opened in 2013

O

ne of the most startling sights of the massive damage caused

by Superstorm Sandy was the collapse of Long Beach’s historic 2.2 mile boardwalk, which was left shredded into planks and even splinters.

The boardwalk, built under the auspices of the New York developer William Reynolds in the early part of the last century, with the help of some elephants who moved huge chunks of wood, had to be repaired rapidly, even if just to give residents a sign that progress against the forces of nature was being made.

Long Beach hired the LiRo Group, an architecture, engineering and construction firm. The cost of repair was estimated at about $40 million. FEMA was to pay 90 percent and New York City, the remainder.

“The City of Long Beach established an aggressive goal of opening the boardwalk to the public as quickly as possible in order to maintain the summer season,” LiRo said in a news release. The firm said that as each section was completed, it was opened to allow residents at least some of the boardwalk.

The firm said it worked with fabricators during design and pre-construction to implement a “unique system of precast panelized superstructure.”

“Protecting the boardwalk against future storm damage also was a concern,” LiRo said, “Several resiliency features were incorporated into the new design.” It was built with a retaining wall and concrete edges in the center of the span.

The boardwalk re-opened Oct. 13, 2013.

The re-opening was held with great fanfare. There was a ribbon-cutting attended by then Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Cuomo declared the “boardwalk is better than before.”

“Today the boardwalk is fully reopened, bringing back to the Long Beach community not only an iconic local treasure, but a major tourist attraction that helps support local businesses and jobs,” Cuomo stated. “One year after the

flood waters caused so much damage and destruction here on Long Island, the newly restored boardwalk is both a symbol of the resilience and strength of Long Beach as well as the unwavering spirit of the many hardhit communities across our state that are building back better and stronger than before.”

The day afTer the storm, residents gathered at the boardwalk to look in amazement at the destruction.

Long Beach’s iconic 2.2 mile boardwalk, destroyed by Sandy was re-opened on Oct. 13, 2013.

After A long time without water and the ability to flush toilets, a sign saying “You Can Flush Toilets” spread the good news.

W

“Finally a flush” hen I reflect back, the thing that strikes me most about the Sandy experience was the overwhelming feeling of

community.

We had up to 10 people staying with us for a few weeks after the storm. We were happy to be able to help our friends. The kids were happy because their friends were here and having an adventure.

We held our collective breath as we watched the water come up the street and as it rose up the steps at our front door but never came in.

Our sump pumps were running continuously for weeks after Sandy - successfully keeping the water out of the house.

Most of our neighbors flooded as they didn’t have a drain and pump system like we installed. So, in typical Long Beach fashion, we all rallied.

We ran extension cords to neighbors to share the electricity from our generator.

Their wet clothes hung on our clothesline. Friends came over to charge cell phones, commiserate and brainstorm.

I set up a coffee station in our living room, like an Inn. All were welcome.

We took turns waiting in long lines for incredibly scarce gasoline for the generator. Friends dropped off gas sometimes, ________________

too. Others would call and let us know which gas stations had gas.

When the word got out that we had refrigerators some friends brought over their food to keep it from spoiling. Seems everyone had chicken in their freezer. We cooked and barbecued and everyone ate well.

We had many people but no running water or plumbing. That challenge required creativity, to say the least. Turns out you can brush your teeth with very little water. My sister in law brought us water and also let us take turns using her shower at her home in Baldwin.

I remember Halloween and the kids trick or treating in the house. I remember the National Guard and others coming to town to help and giving out blankets and MREs. I remember a crowd watching television in our living room on Election Day as the results came in.

I remember feeling grateful to be American. I remember The Laurel reopening.

And I remember when I was driving back into Long Beach one day and saw the sign “YOU CAN FLUSH TOILETS” That’s when I knew all would be OK, eventually.

Learning from Disaster

didn’t live here when Sandy struck – but I kind of wish I had! I feel like a missed a defining event in the community life of Long Beach.

I’m always hearing wistful accounts of how “everyone pulled together to help each other.”

“Resilience” is having a moment. Those who study it say that, more than anything else, resilience defines the outcome of a tragedy, no matter how terrible it was. Resilient people face life’s hardships head-on - staying calm, solving problems, showing patience and hope. The word itself comes from a uSan Latin word that means “to jump or leap” – which so many of you did, quickly springing to action for yourselves, your neighbors, your city, and your future.

When adversity knocks me down, I’m not much of a jumper or leaper, and am always in awe of those who are.

Some people are born with resiliency, while others fall into despair and use unhealthy coping strategies. But resilience can also be grown in us, which, perhaps, is where love comes in. Maybe resilience is a kind of love, a choice for love - a choice to love ourselves, each other, life itself, life as it comes - no matter what. Somehow that puts it within my reach.

S

I

I feel humbled to now be a part of this brave and resilient community, to have been grafted, even belatedly, into the Sandy story. In religious circles, we say that, if a story is told enough to someone who missed the actual event, she begins to believe she was there. At the Seder, the story of the Passover is to be told, all these centuries later, using the first-person pronoun. “Why do we celebrate like this tonight? It is because of what the Lord did for me when we were brought out of slavery in Egypt.”

In her poem, “Refuse to fall down” Clarissa Pincola ock Estes says, “If you cannot refuse to fall down, refuse to stay down. If you cannot refuse to stay down lift your heart toward heaven…ask that it be filled, and it will be. It is in the midst of misery that so much becomes clear. The one who says nothing good came of this, is not yet listening.”

Something good came of the superstorm. You discovered unknown depths of love. May love continue through our daily, humble acts of kindness and respect, neighbor to precious neighbor.

I felt real fear for the first time

heard the warnings to evacuate, but I thought I’d never left before, grew up here, always ‘rode out’ every storm.

As a little girl, I remember going with my Dad in a boat when the Ocean met the bay, but I had no sense of fear. So, October 29th, I made no plans to leave.

I was prepared, food, flashlights, understood that this was going to be a rough one, but my thinking was along the lines of ‘I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building, so might lose power, but we’d udy be safe’ – something I would later re-think.

Lesson learned.

Just before 7, before we lost power, I got a call from then Lt. Jack Radin, who said: “I know you, you want to go out and take one last look. Don’t. It’s really ugly out here. Stay put.”

I listened. I went out on my terrace (which faces Shore Road) and that’s when I felt real fear for the first time.

The sound of the ocean rushing down

Shore Road is a sound that I still remember. It was more than loud -I remember thinking to myself “you were so smug, ‘I’m on the 3rd floor, I’m safe” I never considered that the building itself could collapse. The sheer power of the water rushing terrified me.

My son in law had a real jeep, with an enclosed engine. He came to get me the next morning. Before going to their house, and to NYC to stay with his parents, we went up to the boardwalk at Lincoln – just where the boardwalk was ining breached.

When I got to the top of the ramp, I gasped at what I saw. Later, on the road to New York City, the devastation we saw is seared into my brain: cars, sand, boats, houses, furniture - all in places where they shouldn’t be -sideways cars, boats in the streets, sand everywhere.

It was surreal.

Hundreds eagerly attend Herald’s Senior Health Expo

October 27, 2022 — LONG BEACH HERALD

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Long Beach and North Shore produced a pair of early Cinderella stories in the Nassau Class A girls’ soccer playoff bracket, working overtime and beyond to eliminate third-seeded South Side and No. 6 Mepham, respectively, to set up a rare quarterfinal meeting between seeds 11 and 14.

On Saturday morning, in a back-andforth match at North Shore, the visitors finally broke through with 15:46 remaining in regulation when freshman Ava Kolb scored from 30 yards out with a perfectly placed shot just under the crossbar, and Long Beach held on for a 1-0 victory and a spot in the semifinals for the first time in program history.

“We didn’t want to go to overtime and penalty kicks again, but it was getting close,” said Kolb, who delivered one of six successful penalty kicks for the Marines in their stunning victory over two-time defending county champion South Side three days earlier. “I knew as soon as I hit the ball it had a good chance to go in,” she added. “This feels amazing.”

Long Beach, which captured the Conference A-III title, won its 14th consecutive game since a season-opening loss to Lynbrook and advanced to face No. 2 Garden City in the semifinals on Wednesday. Goalkeepers Alexis Richards (14) of Long Beach and Meredith Papiro of North Shore combined for 27 saves.

“Both goalies played great and I told our girls I thought it was going to take a shot from far off to beat their keeper because she’s quick,” said Marines second-year coach Ashley Castanio, a former standout goalkeeper at Oceanside as well as Stony Brook University. “I was hopeful that was all we were going to need,” she added.

“Alexis has been lights-out in goal for us.

She’s been aggressive and communicating well with the defense.”

The Vikings (5-7-2) had their share of scoring chances in each half and made a significant push in the 15 minutes prior to Kolb’s goal but Richards, a sophomore who made 24 saves in the historic win over South Side, stood tall behind a defense led

While no one who was in Long Beach on Oct. 29, the following day or in the weeks and even months that followed is likely to forget the devastation, there are also memories of help and hope.

Police officers and firefighters helped people out of their ruined homes. The Red Cross arrived with water, food and blankets.

The National Guard was soon on hand. The city set up an emergency tent outside City Hall, where more food and water was sam Pinto handed out.

Long Beach The Martin Luther King Cenfirefighter ter, in the largely Black North Park neighborhood, was also feeding “hundreds,” according to then board chairman and community leader James Hodge.

Hodge’s own home was deluged by about five feet of water. He and his parents were unable to get out, and spent the night of Oct. 29 clutching one another as they all tried to sleep on the living room couch.

But, Hodge said, “The whole city of Long Beach was in such dire need.” The MLK Center was turned into a rescue center, and provided residents with food, an operation that continued for weeks.

“I will never forget any of that,” Hodge said.

The rebuilding began rapidly. Homeowners had to scout around for building contractors, who had more work than they could handle. The city mandated that homes that were repairable be raised, in the hope of avoiding another such disaster in the future. U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer “moved heaven and earth” to secure a generator the size of a tractor-trailer to restart the city’s water and sewer plants, Schnirman recalled in an interview at the time.

The 2.2-mile-long boardwalk was a disorienting sight. It was ripped into pieces by Sandy. It was rebuilt at a cost of about $40 million, reinforced by concrete and resurfaced in Brazilian hardwood. More than 2,700 new trees were planted around the city. FEMA covered 90 percent of the

streets throughout the city were flooded, as the Atlantic met Reynolds Channel in mid-island.

some homeowners took precautions before the storm, and even left a message for it. cost, and New York state funded the remainder.

Nassau County officials estimated that of Long Beach’s approximately 33,000 residents, some 15,000 to 20,000 chose not to leave during Sandy.

Sam Pinto, a city firefighter and a member of the Long Beach school board, was among them. He was preparing his house for the storm before the winds became too strong and he had to swing into action. He helped set up

the emergency rescue facility at City Hall. The Fire Department also made use of the city’s antique trolley as a temporary shelter for those injured or ill.

“We had no power and we had no sewage,” Pinto recalled. “Everyone was working 24/7.”

Crystal Lake, who lives in North Park, had also decided to stay in the city. She recalls the water rising, but, like others, she had not evacuated during Hurricane Irene in 2011.

Sandy, Lake soon discovered, was worse.

“We began to panic” as the water rose, she recounted.

“The water began to rise to the windows.” Many homes in the North Park section are only yards from Reynolds Channel. There was soon a foot of water in Lake’s house.

She began to pray. The water stopped coming. “God answered my prayers,” she said. But she was unable to get gasoline for her car, so drove around the city for days “on fumes.”

There are still houses, here and there, left unrepaired, their damage from Sandy still visible. But by and large, a decade later, Long Beach has recovered. There are still — there will always be — recollections of the water and the winds. But there is also much talk about the way people helped each other out of a crisis.

DePalma, the police inspector, asked what he recalled of that time, said, “The people were great. Strangers helped strangers. That was proof there was still a community out there.”

“Who has enough money to cover this?”

LONG BEACH HERALD — October 27, 2022

“If you don’t leave between 10 am and 2 pm, you won’t be able to evacuate,” is what I remember the New12 reporter saying on TV. I had just come back from taking my then 6-year-old son down to the beach to watch the Skudins surfing the monstrous waves. It was on that return trip from the beach to my home in the canals that I realized just how much water was already filling my beloved community.

These two facts, along with calls from family and friends, made us pack the car with an overnight bag and head out of town.

If I could go back to that moment, I would tell my 10-year younger self to put as much as I could in my car and attic to save all the things we lost.

I am thankful we left. If we hadn’t, not only would we have lost our entire ranch home, but I would have been huddled with my husband, a 6- and not quite 2-year-old, and one very old dog in that attic.

The year that followed was surreal. We were working professionals who found ourselves and our family homeless.

We didn’t have enough money saved to cover such a disaster…who does? I credit my husband with navigating the murky waters of NY Rising, the SBA, and our home/car/flood insurance companies to bring us home.

You would think 10 years later, I’d be able to say it was all a horrible, distant memory. But due bureaucratic mistakes, it’s as fresh as it was then, since New York Rising contacted us this year, asking for their grant money back. In full. But, it’s in the walls of the place we call home. And once again, we don’t have enough money saved to cover such a disaster…who does?

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

Daisy, a five-year-old boxer service dog, lies in pain at her owner’s home in Long Beach, suffering a punctured lung, internal bleeding, and bruised ribs. Her left paw may have to be amputated.

The dog, owned by Jessica Talavera, 35, of West Hudson St., was struck at about 8:30 am Oct. 13 by a Nassau County Police officer driving a department-issued SUV. Talavera said the officer, – who has not been identified by Nassau County police, stopped her car, but offered no assistance and did not provide her name. Talavera said no police report was immediately filed.

Talavera has filed a $13,000 damaged claim against Nassau County, seeking payment for medical bills.

Threat to LBHS causes lockout Long Beach High School went on lockout around 12 noon Tuesday after a threat was received via Snapchat, saying a former student would bring weapons to the building and “give the school what they gave me.”

The threat, explained how an unnamed former students had plans to gain access into the school using their school ID card and shoot student walking home, specifically special-education students. The Snapchat message continued to say that “pistols, assault rifles and other explosives will be used to give the school what they gave me. Tuesday 8 am through Friday 3 pm be on standby.”

In a letter to families in the district Tuesday, Assistant Superintendent Michael DeVito said that “after contact with law enforcement and further investigation, we

learned that a similar threat was sent to other area school districts. At this point we do not believe that the threat is credible.”

The high school and middle school did cancel all after-school activities Tuesday out of caution. The schools also allowed any student to take a bus home and staff remained at the school for every student waiting to be picked up after the school day ended.

“The police have reaffirmed that they do not believe that these threats are credible,” schools Superintendent Dr. Jennifer Gallagher said in a letter to families. “Both Long Beach and Nassau County Police Departments will continue to have patrol cars in the area, and the police continue to work with the Department of Homeland Security to determine the origins of the postings.”

How can I go off the grid?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Couldn’t be easier to vote, right?

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

In non-presidential years like this one,

n

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

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

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

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

H

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With how police are treated?

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

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

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

When real-life horrors hijack Halloween

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

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

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

to wobble.

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

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

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

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

E

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not these days.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Get out and exercise … your right to vote

M

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

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

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

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

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

loids like the National Enquirer look like serious journalism.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately, she and her brother eventually

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

When Hitler ignominiously killed himself at age 56 in 1945, Helen, who had eventually escaped

L

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

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

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

Recent grid failures around the coun-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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