Recalling Sandy with a day of service By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Longtime Long Beach residents will never forget Hurricane Sandy a decade ago — but they will also never forget how the community came together after the devastating storm. The city focused on this positive takeaway last Saturday, as it commemorated the 10th anniversary of the storm. With activities, donations, a disaster preparedness seminar and a candlelight vigil, residents recalled the devastation, and the days and weeks of

Developer seeks tax breaks to restore aging N.P. building By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

A Great Neck-based developer is seeking tax abatements from Nassau County economic development officials so it will be able to restore an empty former warehouse in Long Beach’s North Park section, but some residents are already voicing concern about increased traffic in the area and whether the project would bring new jobs. Additionally, Richard Kessel, chairman of Nassau County’s Industrial Development Agency, which will decide on the tax breaks, said late last week that Long Beach officials and com-

munity members must be in accord with the project before the agency will put its stamp on the plan. Dan Deegan, the attorney for the developer, Silverrock Development LLC, said that an introductory meeting took place on Tuesday with Long Beach city officials to discuss the project. On Wednesday, John McNally, a spokesman for the city, said, “We aired our concerns” about traffic and other issues related to the project. “We told them to keep us posted as they went along.” The IDA is an agency charged with drawing businesses to Nassau County to promote tax reve-

not offer tax breaks to large developers, such as the $25 million, 25-year tax abatement it gave two years ago to Garden City-based Engel Bur man, which is developing the Superblock in Long Beach. The project is expected to bring hundreds of condominiums and rental units to what was once six acres of empty lots just off the ocean-

Jury convicts Flach in Oceanside stabbing By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

After six days of deliberations and more than a week of testimony, Tyler Flach was convicted of second-degree murder in the knifing death of Oceanside teenager Khaseen Morris. The verdict means the jury found Flach intentionally sought to kill the Oceanside High School senior in 2019. Flach now faces 25 years to life in prison. Sentencing is set for Dec. 14. “We got justice for Khaseen,” his sister, Keyanna, told reporters as the family left the courthouse shedding tears of joy. According to reports, Flach shook his head a couple of times as the verdict was read and didn’t look back as officers led him out of the Nassau County courtroom in handcuffs. Morris was the youngest of four siblings, an avid skateboarder, and a talented artist and musician who dreamed of studying photography, according to his family. The main debate in the case was whether the deadly stabbing was premeditated. Edward Sapone, Flach’s attorney, told jurors the attack was unplanned since Flach threw a flurry of punches while holding the knife in his hand. One of those punches “went awry,” Sapone said, with the weapon piercing Morris’ heart in what he described as “reckless” behavior.

It was all part of a prearranged fight in the Brower Avenue strip mall parking lot near a pizza place that is a popular hangout for students within walking distance of the high school. Sapone argued Flach had thrown punches with the knife in his hand during other parts of the fight, but only inflicted a single stab wound to Morris in the 51-second melee. Sapone asked the jury during closing arguments last week to convict Flach of second-degree manslaughter and second-degree gang assault. The prosecution contended Flach intentionally stabbed Morris during the altercation, saying Flach realized he had “cut someone” after their group got in Flach’s car after the brawl and headed back to Long Beach. Prosecutor Ania Pulaski said in her closing argument that Flach stabbed Morris “at least two times, killing him in a matter of minutes.” Saying that, “the defendant was not trying to punch Khaseen with a knife. He was trying to cut him.” Flach armed himself “from the outset,” Pulaski said, and tried to conceal his identity as he ran toward the parking lot “in full stride.” He stabbed Morris within 15 seconds, she added. Evidence in the case included a video of the fight that authorities compiled from nearby store security cameras and cell phone video. The case attracted national attention when authorities initially said

TyleR FlACh pleAd notguilty at an arraignment Oct. 31, 2019. Nov. 1 a jury found him guilty of three counts and faces 25 to life in prison. Sentencing is set for Dec. 14. Deliah Roberts/Herald

that 50 to 70 teens watched the fight and posted the content on social media instead of helping Morris. Police later revised that number to about 20, with only a couple of them actually recording it. Officers also said Morris suffered a single stab wound to his chest. But as the trial developed, prosecutors claimed Flach stabbed Morris three times. “Whether it’s one stab to the chest, two stabs to the chest, or three stabs to the chest, it’s murder,” Pulaski said during her closing arguments. “And it’s nothing else.” Trial testimony showed Morris had five lacerations on his torso area, including the fatal stab wound. A former Nassau deputy medical examiner attributed two

superficial wounds to life-saving efforts. But Pulaski told jurors the medical examiner had “misclassified” at least one of those wounds. After emergency paramedic care, a surgical trauma team at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital performed two operations on Morris to restart his heart. But he died just before midnight on Sept. 16, 2019. “Khaseen Morris was a bright, funny and energetic young man who, at only 16, had his entire life in front him,” said District Attorney Anne Donnelly. “Morris recently moved to the Oceanside area and had attended his new high school for only 10 days when Tyler Flach — enraged that Morris had walked a girl home from school — deliberately attacked Morris with a gang of seven other defendants.”

A cRowEd gAThEREd at Kennedy Plaza outside City hall Saturday night at ceremony to mark the tenth anniversary of Superstorm Sandy.

Long Beach celebrates ‘resiliency’ after Sandy Saturday marked storm’s anniversary with a heartfelt ceremony By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

Long Beach residents and some others turned out at Kennedy Plaza Saturday night to help put the horrors of Superstorm Sandy behind them, but many found it hard to bury the memory of howling winds, rushing water, and the dark and cold nights. But, said James Hodge, the master of ceremonies for the event sponsored by the City of Long Beach, “This is a celebration. It’s a show of resiliency. The city is stronger, safer and better.” The city has recovered from the 2012 storm that torn down homes, destroyed the iconic, historic 2.2-mile boardwalk, covered streets with tons of sand and filthy brown water, left thousands without power for weeks, and injured about 44 people. The boardwalk has been re-built, along with most homes, with many now on stilts to protect against future floodwaters. But Sandy is never far from the minds of those who lived through it. Theresa Rosadio-Berzner, 58, of California Street, was among those who turned out at Saturday night’s event. The storm put her out of her Bungalow home for five years and 7 months, she said. She and her then 8-year-old son, Jonathan, scooted out of the city at 8 am the morning the storm hit, Oct. 29. They stayed with a friend in Rockville Centre. “The water came five feet up to the house,” Rosadio-Berzner said. That’s when they decided to go. Does she feel safer now that the city has been re-built and fortified? “No,” she said. “We’re still really recovering.” But the evening was marked by singing by a group, Benoir and the Long Beach All Stars, and by Latice Crawford, a contemporary gospel singing, composer and actress. And by speeches honoring police, fire and other rescue workers and restaurants that provided food for those

without supplies. Long Beach City Council president Karen McInnis tried to set the tone for the event. “We all remember the day, but we also remember that we came together,” she said. Long Beach officials declared Saturday “a day of service.” As such, some people took part in cleaning up the beach and boardwalk. Others painted “stars of hope” and sent them to hurricane victims in Florida. The feeling at City Hall was that many in Long Beach did not want to dwell on Sandy, but preferred to perfor m civic acts and thank firstresponders. Harvery Weisenberg, 88, who was a member of the New York State Assembly for 24 years, a Long Beach police officer, a teacher in the city and remains a lifeguard, recalled in a speech helping deliver food at Kennedy Plaza after the storm. “Residents were helping feed other people,” said Weisenberg. “We were one family, helping each other.” But Theresa Javakian, 53, also of California Street, left the morning the storm it with her four dogs and a rabbit and headed to a friend’s apartment in the Bronx. Her home was destroyed and she and her three children lived in a basement apartment in Long Beach for four years. Nonetheless, she said, “I really feel safer here now. They’ve (the city) done a lot” to make improvements. Kathleen Hogan remained in Long Beach through the storm. When things got rally rough, she said, a neighbor whose house had already been raised, came to rescue her and her dogs. “He took 10 people in,” Hogan said. Hodge led the gathering with his traditional gusto. “We went through a lot,” he said, his voice booming through a microphone on a makeshift stage. “But we didn’t come here to be sad.”

KAThLEEN hogAN (L) and Theresa Javakian, were among thousands substantially impacted by the storm. Both women and their families have returned to live in L.B. Crawford belted out a song, and tiny plastic candles were handed out to the crowd. The evening ended with Hodge leading a prayer. “And now we’re going to go home,” he said.

LATIcE cRAwfoRd, A contemporary gospel singer and composer, was a special guest at th city-sponsored Sandy anniversary event.

Storm anniversary focuses on healing, helping continued from front page civic unity that followed, during what was called A Day of Service. In 2012, while the community was healing, painted stars appeared on streetlight posts, telephone poles and fences, imprinted with encouraging words to lift people’s spirits. The Stars of Hope, as they are known, come from a nonprofit community arts and disaster-relief initiative created by the New York Says Thank You Foundation in 2007. The stars are sent to disasterstruck communities around the world, and on Saturday, Long Beach wanted to spread some hope, so it made some of its own. “A bunch of communities had sent them to us during Sandy, and many of us still have them up,” city spokesman John McNally said of the stars. “So we painted between 75 and 100 stars and sent them to communities in Florida impacted by Hurricane Ian.” The stars were painted in a range of colors, and imprinted with words such as “love” and “hope.” Some featured smiley faces. The Kiwanis Club of Long Beach, which organizes a variety of charity efforts and cleanups throughout the year, got into the spirit of the day, holding a beach cleanup at New York Avenue. “About 20 people came to help clean, including youngsters from the Key Club, the youth version of the Kiwanis Club in the schools,” said Michael Jordan, the club’s president. “They came down and picked

up about 20 bags of garbage. The whole thing was great.” The Long Beach Soup Kitchen and the Martin Luther King Center set up food collection efforts, and distributed food to those in need. For four hours on Saturday, soup kitchen volunteers were stationed at Kennedy Plaza, collecting canned soup and vegetables, snacks and toiletries. They got more than they expected. Along with eight bags of nonperishable food donations, they also received nearly $800 in cash donations. “For four hours, to get that kind of money for our little soup kitchen, it’s an amazing thing that the community supported us that well,” the nonprogit’s president, Robert Blau, said. “Truly, we didn’t know what to expect. The good news is we’d rather have cash then canned goods, because we always get canned goods. Fortunately, we’re in good shape now, and as the community serves us, we’re in better shape every time we go out there and try to get donations.” The MLK Center handed out fresh produce and groceries to anyone who wanted or needed them. Cedrick Coad, the center’s chairman, said it has hosted a number of food distributions efforts, but this one was particularly popular. The city also partnered with the American Red Cross for a CPR class and free smoke alarm installations. McNally said that 18 households received new smoke alarms, free of charge.

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

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

t’s wonderful, it’s nice to see family businesses recognized after all that’s happened.

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

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

Long Beach headed into the Nassau Class A boys’ soccer playoffs with hopes of a deep run following its first conference championship since 2017, but the Marines, seeded third in the 20-team tournament, were one of four early upset victims. No. 14-seed Kennedy scored once in each half Oct. 21 and earned a 2-0 victory under the lights at Long Beach Middle School. It was only the second time the Marines (9-2-2 overall) were blanked this season. “You want to be hungry and healthy entering the playoffs, and we had some injuries that caught up with us,” Long Beach coach Leo Palacio said. “Give Kennedy credit. They were a little bit faster and more physical. Our kids kept pressing and we had three excellent chances over the final 20 minutes. We just couldn’t score.” It was a difficult ending to a memorable season, Palacio said. The Marines finished atop the 12-team Conference A-Central, with their only loss coming against South Side midway through the campaign. “It was a tremendous race for the conference title and it came down to the last game for four teams,” Palacio explained. “The guys came through with a big win over Hewlett and we held on to first place. Nobody picked us to win it. We just grinded. We were bending but never breaking. Some games we didn’t score until the last 10 minutes, but we found a way.” Long Beach allowed just five goals in 11 conference games and posted 7 shutouts. Senior goalkeeper Avie Mann was a consistent strength between the pipes, Palacio said, and won’t be easy to replace. “Avie played very well as expected,” Palacio said. “He was solid.” Tony Bellissimo/Herald Defense was the driving force throughout the MiDFielDeR Mike CoNtReRas, left, was one of Long Beach’s four season, the coach noted, led by seniors Aran Corbett and Denis Moreno, junior Alex Castro and senior captains and was one of its leading goal scorers with three. sophomore Braedon Konop. “Aran was our cataber ’44.’ They wanted to carry his memory with them all season lyst in the back but all those guys had great years,” Palacio said. “We didn’t have a ton of scoring. We relied on the and we dedicated the conference championship to him.” Moore-Lukaszweski was Long Beach’s leading scorer with 6 defense and Avie in goal to keep us in every game.” The four senior captains — Corbett, Mann, Ryder Moore- goals and 9 assists. “Ryder had an outstanding season at both Lukaszweski and Mike Contreras — were responsible for the ends of the field,” Palacio said. Junior Ryan Fitzgerald had 4 Marines wearing an armband honoring the memory of 2018 goals, and Contreras and senior Yeris Miranda added 3 goals Long Beach graduate Scott Gernhardt, the goalkeeper on the apiece. Mann totaled 72 saves. “Of course we wanted to make noise in the playoffs, but I’m program’s last conference title-winning team who passed away really proud of the guys,” Palacio said. “We’re losing a great last November. “It was the captains’ idea and a wonderful gesture,” Palacio senior group, but our JV went undefeated and hopefully some of said. “They wore armbands with Scott’s initials ‘SG’ and num- those kids will help us next year.”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Decade after Sandy, officials want to be prepared By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

It’s been a decade since Hurricane Sandy devastated Nassau County. Yet, instead of showcasing what could’ve easily been the worst moments of many people’s lives — instead it displayed their perseverance. “We saw the very best in people,” said Hempstead town councilman Anthony D’Esposito, who was chief of the Island Park Fire Department at the time. “We saw the very best of the people that wear a uniform — whether as a career or as volunteers — putting their community first.” D’Esposito joined Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder and others during a commemoration ceremony last week, recalling many of those heroic stories in the face of a horrific storm. The councilman recalled one specific incident where a house burned in the middle of a flooded street. He had to do everything he could to stop the whole block from igniting, so his Island Park firefighting unit had no choice but to drive their truck straight through the house to destroy it. That allowed floodwaters to drown what remained of the blaze. Ryder remembers October 2012 as a very difficult month for the county police force after already losing Officers Joseph Olivieri and Arthur Lopez before being called up to help with Hurricane Sandy rescue. The commissioner recalls sitting in church with his family when that alert came. At first, Ryder was only given command of roughly 100 officers. But when the Sandy’s major surge hit, Ryder found himself in command of National Guardsmen, detectives, police officers and state troopers. With the chance another storm could pummel Long

NASSAu CouNtY ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman delivers remarks on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, joined by Tatum Fox, Steve Rhoads, Anthony D’Esposito, Rabbi Shalom Axelrod, and the Rev. John Tutone. Behind them are Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Emerson Lucatorto and Liz Ryan of the Nassau County Police Department. Island, Blakeman ran an emergency drill through his executive management office. “We had people thinking outside the box, working together as partners to make sure that people in Nassau County were safe,” Ryder said. “That’s the message and lessons that we’ve learned from Sandy. We know the next one will come, but we will be better prepared.” Fire Marshal Mike Uttaro looked back at the actual Sandy response, remembering the camaraderie. “We worked with teams we’ve never had before,” he said. “We had fire departments from the Adirondacks coming down in shifts to help the fire departments of the South Shore.” That was a team that included Richard Corbett, now

the emergency management office commissioner. “It was like a snow storm of concrete,” Corbett said. “It’s not the sand you walk in when you first get off the boardwalk. It’s the rock-hard sand down by the water, that you yell at your kids for throwing at each other.” With all the looking to the past, elected leaders like Blakeman have to keep a constant eye on the future. Especially when there are other storms — maybe not at Sandy levels — but storms like the remnants of Hurricane Ian last year can be just as devastating. “Three things keep me up at night,” Blakeman said. “Blizzards, active shooters and hurricanes. So, on two hours notice, I ran an emergency drill at the OEM Center. And I have to tell you, I felt a lot better.”

Halloween was filled with ghouls, fun

ong Beach was creeping and crawling this past Saturday afternoon with ghouls, goblins, ghosts and all types of human, un-human creatures as the city held its traditional Halloween celebration. Children and their parents showed up at Kennedy Plaza outside City Hall to scare one another – and sometimes themselves – with costumes that were either made at home, bought at a store, and in some cases, handed down by older siblings.

The day brings out the fun in everyone, and all seemed to share in the excitement of the afternoon. It may have been a bit tiring for some folks, but through the day smiles ruled, cameras snapped and the children were in their glory Some were not so scary, but it didn’t matter. One child said, “On Halloween, you can be anything you want. It’s fun.” Is there any better way to explain it all than that?

one-year-old Cameron Gutman turns up as a sort of banana at Long Beach’s traditional Halloween celebration. JayCeon oliver, 5, shows up as a minipolice officer sporting a hula-hoop, maybe as protection from the hula-hoop thieves. the lonG BeaCh fire brigade showed up in the persons of Kai Melandro, and Violet Jones, both 2.

Time to replace the kitchen

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

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

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

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

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

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

An election that will move heaven and earth

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

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

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

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

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

Making ‘affordable’ housing actually affordable

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

opinions

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

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

Letters ‘You are making democracy work’

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

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

Framework by Tim Baker

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

One last treescape of green — Glen Cove

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