Lynbrook and East Rockaway pledge their firm support for Israel

By JEFFREY BESSEN & NIColE FoRMISANo of the Herald

Hewlett-East Rockaway Jewish Centre congregants affixed a miniature facsimile of the Israeli flag to blouses, shirts and jackets as they gathered for Shabbos services on Oct. 13, with the Jewish state firmly in their hearts.

The conservative synagogue encouraged its families to donate at least $18 — with many giving much more — to a fundraising campaign. The number 18 is chai in Hebrew, meaning life. All of the proceeds will be given to the Jewish National Fund, a 122-year-old philanthropic organization that supports a broad spectrum of projects in

Israel.

“This way we show our support to Israel and to each other,” Stephen Moelis, the temple’s president, said before the service. “This is meaningful, and not a donation that is faceless of names and faceless of voices.”

As much as Shabbos is meant to give solace to congregants, many of whom have family and friends in Israel, the service was interspersed with thoughts of what has unfolded in Israel and Gaza: the death and destruction that has occurred, and more that is yet to come.

“So the community is looking to this for togetherness, as they are disoriented, as we all are,” Rabbi Michel Schlesinger said COntinUEd On pagE 2

Mount Sinai offers ‘cold-cap’ therapy for cancer patients

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — October 19, 2023

Hair loss is one of the most psychologically distressing adverse effects of chemotherapy for patients and Mount Sinai South Nassau Breast Health Services is offering the DigniCap System to provide scalpcooling therapy to eligible patients to reduce hair loss during chemotherapy for breast cancer and alleviate the negative influence it can have on patients’ emotions and outlook.

Cold-cap therapy has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reduce hair loss from some chemotherapy drugs. Minimizing hair loss helps patients improve their quality of life and self-esteem while undergoing treatment. Studies have shown that cold-cap therapy can prevent hair loss in 66 percent of patients with breast cancer receiving chemotherapy and is well tolerated by most patients. Cold-cap therapy is initiated prior to the start of each chemotherapy session. The DigniCap System’s silicone cooling cap is placed on the patient’s head. The therapy decreases blood flow through the scalp, limiting the amount of chemotherapy that reaches the hair follicles and reducing the risk of chemotherapy-induced hair loss.

“We want to treat the whole patient and offering this service is part of our commitment to provide our patients with comprehensive and compassionate care,” said Rajiv Datta, Cancer Program Medical Director at Mount Sinai South Nassau. “It is our hope that cold-cap therapy will instill our patients with encouragement and an optimistic outlook during their treatment journey.”

The hospital is committed to ensuring no patient is denied access to cold-cap therapy due to cost concerns. The Rockville Centre Breast Cancer Coalition has pledged $15,000 per year for the next three years to support Mount Sinai’s Breast Health Services cold-cap therapy program.

“On behalf of the Board of the Rockville Centre Breast Cancer Coalition, we are thrilled to partner with Mount Sinai South Nassau to help women in our community diagnosed with cancer,” said Kathy Baxley, Co-Vice President of Outreach for the coalition. “This donation will help ensure that eligible women needing chemotherapy for breast cancer have access to this important treatment.”

In addition to the coalition’s pledge, the hospital has set aside a portion of the money raised by its annual golf outing to cover costs for these preventive services that may be denied by patients’ health insurance.

“Breast cancer can be an emotionally devastating

We are pleased to support this initiative.”

The coalition’s pledge will help fund the leasing of two Dignicap systems as well as the silicone caps

worn by the patients.

“We are grateful for the coalition’s pledge and commitment to our patients and the communities we serve,” said Adhi Sharma, Mount Sinai South Nassau’s President. “We look forward to collaborating with the coalition on this essential service to ensure that it is available to all eligible patients, regardless of cost concerns.”

News briefs

Town to host breast cancer education, awareness program The Town of Hempstead will host its 21st annual Breast Cancer and Cancer Education Forum for women and men on Saturday, Oct. 28 at Hempstead Town Hall. Organized

by Deputy Supervisor Dorothy Goosby, the event from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., will feature Geri Barish, executive director of the Hewlett House.

The town — in collaboration with Barish — will present a free comprehensive seminar that features guest speakers, collaborative partners and information about breast cancer — one of the leading causes of cancer death in women in the United States.

“It is estimated that 1 in 8 women in America will be diagnosed with breast cancer, but early detection can save lives,” Goosby said. “That is why education forums like this one are so important, and I encourage all residents to join us on Oct. 28 to learn about one of the leading causes of cancer death in women and the many health options available to them.”

“Deputy Supervisor Dorothy Goosby is the longest-serving member of the Hempstead Town Board, and her annu-

al breast cancer forum is one of the most important and comprehensive programs the town offers to the community,” added Supervisor Don Clavin. “There is no telling how many lives have been saved through this program, and I thank Goosby for her service to America’s largest township.”

According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, nearly 300,000 women — and some 3,000 men — will be diagnosed with breast cancer by the end of this year.

Through early detection and new treatment methods, health experts can help save lives.

The event will feature guest panelists, health vendors, food demonstrations, a mammography van provided by NuHealth and the Nassau University Medical Center, a raffle drawing and a Health and Wellness Men’s Zone. There will also be a segment focused on prostate and breast cancer in men.

Hempstead Town Hall is at 1 Washington Street, Hempstead. For more information, call Deputy Supervisor Goosby’s office at (516) 489-5000 ext. 4304.

Scottie Coads, 79, longtime civil rights activist, dies

By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

Every once in a while, someone comes along that truly embodies the spirit of the community, and whose dedication inspires others — that’s Scottie Coads.

Coads, 79, died Oct. 6 after decades of serving Lakeview, Long Island and the nation as a whole. Though she never ran for office, everyone agreed that Coads was the “Mayor of Lakeview.” Her devotion to others was unwavering, and her commitment to justice was incomparable, those who remembered her said.

“She was here to serve the people — not a party, not a person, but she was a servant of the people,” H e z e k i a h Brown, Coads’ longtime friend, said. “And that was all the time.”

Coads was the kind of person who held tightly to her BARBARA EpStEIN f r i e n d s — n o Coads’ longtime friend amount of time nor distance could diminish her dedication to the people she loved, Brown said. She brought warmth and support to every life she touched. Her friend Barbara Epstein said Coads was the kind of person who, when seeing you again after a long time apart, would give you a hug, not a handshake.

“She’s a very caring individual, a very committed and caring individual for the people that she cared about,” Epstein said. “She is a legacy in her own right. She stood out. There aren’t many people that you find like Scottie.”

“Always smiling, very friendly,” Lamont Jackson, Coads’ friend for nearly 40 years, said. “And you would always see her at important events. She tried to get as many people as possible around to encourage people to vote.”

S

he was a very strong advocate for people, and particularly for the residents of Lakeview.

_______

SCOttIE COAdS Coads believed in Lakeview, and Lakeview believed in her. She always stepped up to be a leader in her community and to ensure that community members had a voice. Coads was the civic engagement chair for the state NAACP, the president of the Lakeview Democratic Club, and a staunch protector of civil rights. Coads fought fiercely against the recent legislative redistricting, which she said was clearly gerrymandering.

“She cared about people,” Epstein said. “She was a very strong advocate for people, and particularly for the residents of Lakeview.”

“We need someone to take the reins and step up and be a proponent for voting, a proponent for the people, the way she was,” Jackson said. “It’s going to be super hard shoes to fill.”

A strong believer in the power of community, Coads helped put Lakeview on the political map. Almost every person running for office came to Lakeview because of Coads, Brown said. Everyone that’s been elected in the past few decades, especially in the Democratic Party, owes some credit to Coads, Jackson said. As someone who was committed to democracy, Coads worked closely with politicians from the local to national levels.

Brandon Cruz/Herald file

Scottie Coads was affectionately dubbed the ‘Mayor of Lakeview.’ Here, she is participating in a rally in July against the Nassau County’s redistricting proposal.

“She was a tremendous advocate for the community,” Kevan Abrahams, former county legislator, said. “She spoke her heart. And I think that resonated with a lot of people in our communities.

“It’s always a challenge as elected officials to ensure that we empower those that are not elected, and Scottie took that and charged with it,” Abrahams added.

Coads’ community-minded approach came from a place of deep compassion, Abrahams said. It is the kind of love for other people that’s tangible — it shows in her decades of service to others. She changed thousands of lives — whether a friend or stranger — for the better through her advocacy.

“If our community wasn’t in the position it should be in, then she was going to advocate — even though personally she was probably going to be fine,” Abrahams said. “I think that’s the type of stuff that you need, that kind of leadership, people that put themselves after their communities.”

Coads’ work was a manifestation of the endless love she had for her community — and the community loved her in equal measure. Her service will benefit generations to come, according to those who knew her.

Coads’ family asked that in lieu of flowers, people make charitable donations to the NAACP or the League of Women Voters in honor of her life.

We’ve Got Specialists For That ®

OC1520_RunningMan_Herald_Strip_10.25x2.5_Volleyball.indd 1

This season has been a roller coaster for the East Rockaway girls’ volleyball team with many peaks and valleys. But the Rocks are hoping, in the end, that the ride will eventually stop at the top.

As the lone ‘C’ team in Conference III, the Rocks (7-4) already have a date Nov. 6 with Carle Place for the county championship and are using their final games to gain some momentum. They started the season with three straight wins – matching their entire total from last year – before dropping three of four.

The girls recovered from that with another three-game winning streak – all by 3-2 scores – before a tough 3-1 loss to first-place Garden City on Oct. 13. The teams split the first two sets, but the Trojans took the final two to sweep the season series. Nicole Zugnoni had 11 kills and four blocks, Sofia Ramirez had 12 assists, and Stephanie Lynch had 22 of the Rocks’ 76 digs that night.

“Garden City is very good this year,” said Rocks coach Ksenia Brito, who returned on Sept. 26 after giving birth to her family’s third child last summer. “We knew going into the game on Friday that it was going to be a tough one and, to be honest, we held our own. The first time we played them, they destroyed us.”

The moxie that the Rocks displayed that night has been emblematic of their season. They rallied from 2-1 deficits to win at Carey and Oceanside the previous two games, and four of their wins this season went the distance.

“These girls don’t stop,” Brito said.

“Sometimes going into that fifth set we would be down by quite a few points and it’s like, ‘Why did you fight so hard to get here?’ and then it’s like, ‘OK, let’s go.’”

Zugnoni leads the team with 115 kills and is among the county leaders with 40 blocks, including 17 solo efforts. She split time at middle blocker last year and has come into her own as a senior.

“She just skyrocketed the second half of last season,” she said. “She came to camp this year, she has been putting together stuff for recruitment and I don’t

Lynch has a county-leading 247 digs.

She was formerly an outside hitter, but Brito moved her to libero/defensive specialist, and it paid off.

“She wants to get every touch that she possibly can, which is a dream,” Brito said. “That might be the difference this year from last year. She is just able to touch so many more volleyballs to keep them alive and give us a chance to keep the point going.”

Ramirez is pacing the team with 171 assists and 22 aces and senior Isabella Alvarez has added 113 digs and 15 aces.

Junior Grace Buffetti and senior Emma Poland have almost split 146 kills evenly with Emma Van Wickler and Shannon McMahon (41 assists apiece) providing depth at setter.

Isabella Colacino became the third Rock to surpass 100 digs against Garden City and fellow juniors Valentina Proto, Julia Giannotti and Cassidy Conklin have also made impacts.

Clavin’s getting hands dirty for your vote

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

It may be the biggest town in America, but for Donald Clavin, running Hempstead comes down to oldschool values: getting your hands dirty.

Whether it’s heading out in a snowstorm with the family dog, Brady, to help plow roads, or cleaning out storm drains before heavy rain, Clavin has made a reputation for not only leading, but also stepping in wherever needed.

“I like doing that stuff,” Clavin told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable session. “It’s fun and people laugh when they see me out there. But they get to know me.”

Clavin has made a point of visiting every town department to meet with as many employees as possible. Often, he said, town workers are surprised to see the supervisor hobnobbing with them.

“I went down to one building and someone was like, ‘We’ve never had a supervisor ever come here,’” Clavin said. “And I’m like, ‘OK, congratulations. Now you do.

That translates to the employees feeling a little more at ease with me. People say they work for me, and I tell them, ‘You don’t work for me. We work together.’”

Clavin was first elected supervisor in 2019, and was re-elected in 2021. The Republican served 18 years as the town’s receiver of taxes.

Clavin’s top issues are taxes, housing and infrastructure. If re-elected, he intends to achieve his goals by continuing to work in a bipartisan manner with people throughout the town. And crossing the aisle is something Clavin said he takes seriously, praising his deputy supervisor, Dorothy Goosby — a Democrat — for helping guide him to a deeper understanding of what their constituents need.

Ben Fiebert/Herald

Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin has credited his success on making himself accessible to the town staffers, and not being afraid to reach across the aisle to help accomplish common goals.

“She’s my staunchest ally on the board,” Clavin said. “I’m a Republican and she’s a Democrat, but you know what? It’s resulted in a lot of harmony and a lot of success throughout every part of the town. I love Dorothy. She’s my buddy on the board.”

Clavin said his ability to work collaboratively with people from different political parties has resulted in better services. Case in point>? The Heatherwood Apartment development in West Hempstead, expected to provide nearly 430 housing units.

“We worked with the developer who worked with

the community,” Clavin said. “I’ve never been part of a hearing where there were dozens and dozens of residents who lived in an area and came to speak in support of it. That says to me that residents will embrace what’s going to fit in their community.”

Clavin pointed to other such housing complexes in Baldwin and Valley Stream as evidence he successfully worked to provide housing for residents.

Clavin’s tenure as supervisor has been marked by collaboration with different levels of government, which has resulted in more funding for storm remediation projects, upgraded roads, and improved parks facilities. That has come with the help of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, who secured federal money for dredging projects, storm abatements, and helping to remove potential carcinogens in the water.

“It’s a good one-two punch,” Clavin said of having Schumer and D’Esposito a phone call away.

Clavin’s success as the supervisor comes from his dedication to working with people — whether they’re millionaire investors, elected officials, or neighbors.

“We’ve maintained taxes while enhancing services,” Clavin said. “In my first four budgets, we’ve either frozen or cut taxes. And, at the same time, we’ve invested millions of dollars into our parks and roads, and that’s because we work together.

“When residents look at D.C. or up in Albany, all they see is dysfunction. In the Town of Hempstead, we work together, and we are a bipartisan government.”

Nicks is all about helping the community

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

Whether it’s volunteering for her fire department, library or school, Olena Nicks says she is one of the most civically active people in Nassau County. Now, the Uniondale resident hopes to take that can-do attitude all the way to the Hempstead town supervisor’s office.

Nicks, a Democrat, is making her second run for town-wide office, after an unsuccessful campaign for clerk in 2021.

“I’ve been pretty civically involved in the community almost all my life,” Nicks told reporters as part of a recent Herald Roundtable session. “We’re at a pivotal time in the Town of Hempstead, and we need a leader who is going to come in with common-sense ideas for all of the residents.”

Nicks is a former captain of the Uniondale Fire Department, and currently serves on the Uniondale Public Library board of trustees. She also volunteers with multiple civic organizations. Because of her deep ties to the community and experience helping others, Nicks said one of her main ideas is for Hempstead to address housing needs for all. “’Affordable housing’ is like a dog whistle,” Nicks said. “People think it’s low-income, and that’s not what it means. What you can afford and what I can afford may be two different things. Right now, $4,000-a-month apartments are not affordable to most people.”

Nicks is in favor of creating housing in the right communities, not simply dumping apartment complexes in every neighborhood, or neighborhoods already saturated with apartments. To that end, if elected, Nicks would create a community task force to identify proper locations for affordable housing apartments.

“You need to bring in all of those stakeholders to the

Olena Nicks says a lot of what the town does is a mystery to many people because information is available only in English. If elected Hempstead town supervisor, she plans to ensure better access. table to be able to flesh out the ideas,” Nicks said. “They know what’s best for their communities. We can’t just push housing on every single neighborhood. And we need to have stores on the bottom level and apartments above.

“That will help build downtowns. People will feel comfortable shopping and working and living in the same place.”

Nicks also said she would increase transparency and accessibility throughout the town. Hempstead, she added, must provide materials in multiple languages,

and improve its website.

“Some residents are not able to get the information that they’re looking for,” Nicks said. “Our entrepreneurs and small business owners have a difficult time with permitting and funding. We need to publish our notices and mailings in other languages to ensure that we are reflective of our communities. We have Hispanic speakers and Haitian Creole speakers who own homes and don’t get the information in their language.”

Similar to tax workshops offered throughout the town, Nicks wants to create seminars in multiple languages to better reach more people.

She also wants to expand the town’s use of social media — and make it, too, available in multiple languages — to give people quick recaps of board meetings and important notices. She also favors having board meeting agenda and minutes posted online in more languages than just English.

If elected, Nicks says she would work with county, state and federal officials and agencies to secure more funding for important infrastructure projects, especially since the county has experienced myriad failures recently — some of which are even being blamed for sinkholes that have opened up on some streets.

“We’re here to deliver a service, and it doesn’t matter what party someone belongs to,” Nicks said. “If I get into the supervisor’s seat, I will work with all elected officials to get the federal and state dollars Hempstead desperately needs.”

Ultimately, Nicks said her civic background is why Hempstead residents should vote for her. She is a neighbor who wants to help her neighbors.

“Anyone who sits in this role needs to never lose sight of the civic aspect because that’s the people you serve,” Nicks said. “I’m always out interacting with people and business owners.”

After four days of war between Israel and Hamas, considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel, officials estimated that over 5,000 people rallied in Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre at Eisenhower Park in East Meadow Tuesday night to show support for Israel and Jewish people around the world.

Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups launched Operation al-Aqsa Flood, a coordinated assault consisting of land and air attacks into multiple border areas of Israel on Oct. 7, 50 years after the Yom Kippur War. The attack came on Shabbos, the Jewish Sabbath day, and the end of the weeklong Jewish festival of Sukkot.

Led by Bruce. Blakeman, the first Jewish Nassau County executive, the county organized the rally that included more than 40 elected officials from both major political parties leaders from different faiths, Jewish war veterans and several other members from the Jewish community.

“Nassau County stands with Israel,” Blakeman said.

Led by Rabbi Josh Dorsch, the senior rabbi from the Merrick Jewish Center, the rally began with Psalm 121 being recited. His reading was met with a chorus of “amen” from the crowd.

After a musical interlude from Cantor Nissim Saal, Rabbi Anchelle Perl, who serves as the leader of the Chabad of Mineola spoke. “Here on Long Island we are rallying behind our brothers and sisters, no matter our religious affiliation, no matter our political persuasions, we come together in our desire to support the people of Israel,” he said.

“We must stop appeasing terrorists, and their supporters,” Perl’s words brought cheers and hollers from the crowd.

In between speakers, Saal led the crowd in the United States’ national anthem and Cantor Ofer Barnoy from Temple Beth Shalom in Roslyn conducted “Hatikvah,” the Israeli national anthem.

Bishop Phillip Elliot, leader of the Antioch Baptist Church in Hempstead, said, “Tonight we have a war on our hands, we have a war call, that came to us all. We have to respond to a draft notice to enlist in the army against injustice, and terrorism.”

“October seven, last Saturday, our Shabbat, our holy Shabbat and the day that we will never, never ever forget,” said County Legislator Mazi Pilip of Great Neck. The former Israel Defense Forces paratrooper added, “This is the day in our Shabbat, in Simchat Torah where Am Yisrael is supposed to dance on the street in Israel. They came in, they killed our people, they murder our babies, they kidnap our teenagers, they evil that we never thought we would see like this. My message to Hamas is this, I promise you the Jewish people, the State of Israel, the American People will make you pay the price you deserve!”

The huge crowd erupted into chants of “Am Yisrael Chai,” which translates into English as, “The people of Israel live.”

Valley Stream Mayor Ed Fare attended the rally and provided this statement to the Herald.

“It is important to show our support of Israel and unite in condemning the terrorist acts of Hamas,” he said.

“Many people I spoke with at the rally were appreciate that the event was held, and said they felt a great sense of belonging which was very important, since many in attendance felt very vulnerable and alone since the attacks on Saturday. I was glad that I could offer at least a bit of solace by showing support for our Israeli brothers and sisters.”

Capone’s movie, ‘Reptile,’ is among Netflix’s most popular

world on Netflix, with nearly 20 million views that week alone.

“I had a dream a long time ago, but again, I thought this dream was over when I got diagnosed,” Capone said. “I thought life was over, pretty much, and then I get a call to be on a major motion picture with major celebrities.”

“This was my first time ever acting, my first time being in a movie,” he said.

“And sitting next to Benicio and Eric Bogosian, you’re like a rookie sitting on a bus with all these le gends, and I’m like ‘do I really belong here? What am I doing here? This is crazy.”

In the movie, Capone plays a detective forced John Capone to retire after Actor being diagnosed w i t h Pa rk i n son’s. Instead of being asked to hide his tremors, Capone was able to bring his experience to the character.

“It’s important because we need more voices to speak about this disease,” Capone said of his character. “And so it was very important to me that people get to see me shake, and to see a glimpse of a character or an actor on TV, and what they’re going through.”

He said that the very best part, though, was when his wife, their 4-yearold daughter and 3-year-old son saw him on TV for the first time.

“My kids are watching TV and we put it on, and my son and daughter saw Daddy on the TV screen,” Capone said.

“And they started screaming ‘Mommy, Daddy’s on TV!’ That’s worth more than its weight in gold. I became a superhero.

“They’re the ones going through this just as much as I am. They’ve earned this just as much as I have.”

Capone’s acting career is just getting started. In his next project, he is starring in the comedy series Punk Rock 101, coming soon on Netflix. He hopes his story inspires others to never give up on their dreams.

“This is really a story about overcoming and fighting back and not giving up,” Capone said. “Good things do happen to those that keep pushing forward.

Don’t give up.”

Capone was presented with the Hometown Hero award by the Village of East Rockaway on Monday for his resilience, his success and his dedication to his dreams.

“Every time you get knocked down, keep getting back up,” Capone said.

“Don’t quit. If I can do it, they can do it And if they need help doing it, they can call me because I’ll come fight with them.”

alloween hijinks are everywhere. Families can partake of plenty to see and do as October winds down. Among the many choices, the annual Ghostly Gala at the Long Island Children’s Museum, on Oct. 21, is a popular spot for some not-sospooky — but still Halloween-ish — fun.

It particularly appeals to younger families, of course. But everyone who participates — including moms, dads, grandparents — all get into the spirit of the moment.

The comedy trailblazer brings on the laughs when his ‘Perfectly Shattered Tour’ arrives at The Paramount. Dane Cook has maintained his reputation as one of today’s most prolific standup comedians, while simultaneously distinguishing himself as a charismatic and versatile actor in a variety of film and television projects. He’s known for his legendary stand-up comedy specials, unparalleled stage presence, and observational humor. Combining energetic physical comedy, clever wordplay, and trenchant observations about human behavior, Cook’s unique brand of stand-up and accessible guy-next-door attitude have galvanized audiences of all ages. He’s also acclaimed for his acting roles in movies such as ‘Good Luck, Chuck,’ ‘My Best Friend’s Girl,’ ‘Dan in Real Life,’ ‘Employee of the Month,’ and ‘Waiting...’

Pink Talking Fish Three mammoth bands.

Three musical phenomenons. One idea inspired by love of the music. That’s Pink Talking Fish. The hybrid tribute fusion act takes the music from three iconic bands creating a remarkable musical jam.

PTF brings their unique sound to the Landmark stage, Saturday, oct. 28, 8 p.m. Pink Floyd, The Talking Heads and Phish are all more than just bands to Eric Gould on bass, Richard James on keyboards, Zack Burwick on drums and Cal Kehoe on guitar. The three bands’ creations have artistically inspired people and their mind-blowing live performances have brought people together to form a special sense of community around the love for their favorite band. Although the music from each act is different, PTF has discovered that fusing the material together creates an amazing story. The epic emotion of Pink Floyd; the funky, danceable layerings of The Talking Heads; the styles, unique compositional structures and pure fun of Phish — to merge these three into one gives music lovers a special experience. Discovering connections is part of the fun: Pink Floyd’s “On The Run” seamlessly fitting in the middle of the composition of Phish’s “You Enjoy Myself”. Perfectly placing Phish’s “Sand” into the groove of The Talking Head’s “Slippery People,” along with segued collections from all three acts. These ideas are the spirit behind Pink Talking Fish. $45 and $40. Jeanne Rimsky Theater at Landmark on Main Street, 232 Main St., Port Washington. (917) 567-5842 or LandmarkOnMainStreet.org.

On exhibit View the landmark exhibition “Modigliani and the Modern Portrait,” at Nassau County Museum of Art. Devoted to the way that Modigliani powerfully re-defined the art of portraiture, the show includes his masterworks along with paintings and drawings by his Parisian contemporaries (Picasso, van Dongen, Laurencin). Modigliani’s enduring influence on artists even in our own time is shown in a selection of Contemporary paintings by such important figures as David Hockney, Eric Fischl, Elizabeth Peyton and others. The exhibition is being curated by Dr. Kenneth Wayne, founder of The Modigliani Project, which authenticates paintings and drawings (two of the works in the show have been recently approved by the committee).

Protecting Your Future with Michael and Suzanne Ettinger Attorneys-at-Law

Book Review: “Outlive”

by Peter Attia, MD (Part One)

have to take steps to improve our physical and cognitive function. The prescription for working and acting like someone one or even two decades younger than your chronological age or, in other words, outliving your life expectancy and exceeding society’s expectations of what later life looks like, fills these pages.

Dr. Attia suggests that as we age, you either surrender to decline or come up with a plan, starting now, not only to get more out of life but to stave off The Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse: cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s.

While medicine currently relies on procedures, like surgery, and medications, this new approach advocates five domains: exercise, nutrition, sleep, emotional health and, grouped together, drugs, hormones and supplements. For example, 77% of people do not exercise. Going from zero to just ninety minutes a week reduces your risk of dying from all diseases more than any drug can do.

In his bestselling book, Dr. Attia challenges conventional medical thinking. Instead of treating illnesses, he focuses far greater attention on preventing them from occurring. Quoting Desmond Tutu, he says “There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in”. Being that there is far less profit in preventative medicine — both for the medical profession and the pharmaceutical industry — he is up against considerable resistance.

Longevity means not only how long you live but how well you live — quantity and quality of life — which he terms “lifespan and healthspan”.

“Outlive” is an operating manual for increasing both aspects of longevity which, the author points out, is far more malleable than we realize.

The beauty of acquiring this knowledge is that you can start at any age and greatly improve your prospects. You just need to know how.

Yes, perfectionists can procrastinate!

erfectionists have many admirable qualities. They often do excellent work, have high standards and are attentive to details. Yet, one’s desire for perfection can become an impediment rather than an asset. To understand how, let’s look at three perfectionist procrastinator styles: closet, classic and compulsive.

An architect for a sunroom?

Homes

HERALD

To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction.

Any advice would be helpful.

Luxury Living

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required.

Plans have to show structural support, energy and building code compliance.

Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.

You need the whole story without the sales part. Just like any purchase, issues you might not expect are still imporonte eeper tant, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultra-violet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced many issues with their construction.

Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move.

This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time.

We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the specific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up.

I looked at a two-year-old system while discussing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way.

You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater. Good luck.

ew York City is home to many famous landmarks and attractions, such as Times Square, Wall Street and New York-style pizza. Yet what people associate with New York today is the migrant crisis, a growing and complex problem with statewide consequences.

Since the spring of 2022, more than 116,100 migrants have flooded into the state. The lack of planning by Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams has resulted in a severe humanitarED RA ian crisis and a strain on public resources. Our local communities are shouldering the burden of providing essential services such as health care, education and social services to migrants and their families, stretching their resources thin.

This crisis isn’t just a federal issue; it affects every corner of our state. From Long Island to Buffalo, from the five boroughs to the North Country, its conse-

T

quences are felt by our citizens, our communities and our local governments. The humanitarian challenges and security concerns stemming from the influx of migrants at our borders and throughout our state demand immediate and comprehensive attention.

We must convene a special session of the State Legislature to address this crisis, and act now to protect the interests of our state and its residents. Protecting our communities and upholding the principles of compassion and humanitarianism are not mutually exclusive. Unfortunately, neither of these standards is currently being met.

The Assembly’s Republican conference has been calling for these actions for several months, but has been met with silence. Even more troublesome, federal and state leaders continue to dance around the problem with backward approaches such as offering nearly a half-million Venezuelan migrants legal status and work permits. We don’t want immigrants sitting idly, but there

i

must be a process in place to ensure that public safety and resources are maintained.

Assembly Republicans proposed legislation that would do so, including adopting a resolution calling on the federal government to provide financial assistance to the state, and to reverse the Executive Order of 2017 that prohibits law enforcement from cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the purpose of enforcing federal immigration law. It would also end New York’s status as an illegal immigration sanctuary, and require the state to register all migrants in order to assist with background checks and monitor refugees seeking asylum here.

The 2023-24 state budget allocated $1 billion to New York City for migrant humanitarian assistance. However, this allocation lacks clear guidance or oversight regarding its specific utilization. It is crucial that leaders from across the state know where these funds are going.

My bill, A.7508, a two-pronged effort to ensure transparency, would require the

t isn’t just a federal issue.

It affects every corner of our state, from Long Island to Buffalo.

governor to submit a report to the Legislature every 30 days detailing how state and federal funds are being spent on humanitarian aid for migrants, and require the comptroller to audit those funds every 30 days.

The need for this bill is evident, given recent revelations about DocGo, the private medical services company Adams partnered with to oversee activities at upstate hotels housing migrants. A state investigation into DocGo uncovered alarming problems, including the employment of at least 50 security guards — compensated at a staggering rate of $1,200 per day — working without proper licensing.

Convening a special session in Albany to address the ongoing migrant crisis isn’t just a necessity, it is our moral and civic duty as elected representatives of the people. We must put aside political differences and work together to find practical solutions to this complex issue. By doing so, we can uphold the values of compassion, security and economic stability that define our great state.

World news not fit to print or post

ry not to consume the horrific war news out of Israel with your family dinner.

The Hamas terror attack on Israel last week demanded our full attention. Many of us sat pinned to the TV, as we did after 9/11. The parenting challenge of the moment, as if we needed another mountain to climb, is to limit our children’s access to TV and social media accounts of the war in the Middle East. As the RAnDi adults in the room, we must KREiss take charge of what we want our young children, and even our teenagers, to see and hear.

For our own health and well-being, we need to limit our consumption of violent news reports and videos. There is a difference between educating ourselves and subsuming our daily lives to details of the horror unfolding nearly 6,000 miles away. The media are unlikely to exert restraint. So we must.

Unfortunately, our kids have access to streaming video games in which the violence is vivid and shocking. The membrane between the gaming world

and the real-world videos coming out of Israel is thin and permeable. It can be overwhelming to developing minds.

We need to talk to our children and grandchildren, and give them a sense of history and an education about the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. We need to protect them from the sensational posts on the internet and help them understand how militant tribes and clans and communities can divide a country, overtaking our best instincts. Even here in America.

Teenagers today, the survivors of a life-changing global pandemic, a generation of kids struggling with unprecedented levels of anxiety and depression, need our protection and censorship when it comes to what they see and hear. This has always been true, but we need to step up our supervision of online viewing, because we cannot trust news outlets to monitor themselves. The gathering war in the Middle East brings a new level of exposure to our kids, who know how to find videos and postings, some true, some fake, on their phones and other devices.

While we limit their exposure to inappropriate news, as citizens we must keep ourselves informed and involved.

W

The war will surely pull the U.S. into the conflict on many levels. I try to find responsible newspapers, reporters and opinion pages to keep me updated. How else to get a full account of a painful, complex and ongoing human tragedy?

As a journalist, I feel proud of the foreign correspondents who raced into the war zone and began reporting what they saw and heard. Richard Engel, Clarissa Ward, Ali Velshi, Norah O’Donnell, Lester Holt, Trey Yingst and dozens of others rushed into the battle on the ground.

Putting themselves in harm’s way every day, they allowed us back home to see real people, in real time, reacting to the Oct. 7 invasion. I especially appreciate the reportage that includes sources and eyewitness accounts to validate the information they broadcast. They are well informed and calm, even under fire.

Inevitably, there will be casualties among the journalists as the war escalates.

They bring us the stories, but the stories are not always appropriate for kids.

We need to know the details, but our children don’t. Our homes must be safe, peaceful havens for them.

I have had conversations with my

e need to protect our children from the war’s horrific words and images.

grandchildren, one of whom was in Israel in May, about the geography of Israel being its destiny, and the ancient tribal feuds that still fuel the hatred and violence that is evident today. TikTok and Facebook don’t do justice to this unfolding story; it requires a level of gravitas fully grounded in the long history of the region.

Last night, eyewitness after eyewitness went on the air on CNN to tell the first-hand accounts of their wives or mothers or brothers being pulled from their homes. Young people spoke of friends being shot down in front of them at the desert music festival.

MSNBC broadcast photographs including one of a baby shot dead in its bed on a kibbutz.

These emerging details of murdered and kidnapped Israeli children tilt the moral universe. As the war accelerates, it will tilt further.

My obligation as an American citizen is to stay informed. My choice as a Jew is to support Israel’s right to exist and thrive. My obligation is also to protect my grandchildren from the photos and videos of Hamas terrorist attacks on young kids just like them.

They do not need to witness the shock and awe of war to know that raging violence is shocking and awful.

early one in every eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes. This year, according to the American Cancer Society, nearly 300,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in women in the United States alone, with another 56,000 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ — an affliction of milk ducts that turn malignant, which is said to be an early form of breast cancer.

We promote awareness for this each year with a massive display of pink almost everywhere we turn. From pins that many wear on their lapels, to ribbons, to posters, to equipment worn by many of our sports icons, pink has become synonymous with our fight against breast cancer — the most common form of cancer in the world.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are raised for breast cancer awareness and research each year, and we can view those efforts with a sense of accomplishment for all that’s achieved over the month-long campaign.

Yet as October draws to a close, those pink ribbons are replaced by Halloween and then Thanksgiving decorations, as the holiday season approaches. We turn our attention from cancer to other things.

But cancer doesn’t move on. In fact, some 50,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer between the beginning of November and the end of the year. That’s one woman every two minutes who will receive news that will change her life.

These women simply can’t wait for October to roll around again for cancer to become society’s primary focus.

It’s not that cancer isn’t important to us all year-round. It’s just that all of us live busy lives, with so much that demands our attention. Still, there are ways to at least keep cancer in the conversation — and to continue giving even when the calendar page flips past October.

The efforts of the American Cancer Society, for one, continue all year. Founded in 1946, the organization has invested more than $5 billion in research, including providing seed funding for 49 researchers whose work has won Nobel Prizes. One of the early researchers was Dr. Sidney Farber, who, in the cancer society’s first year, achieved remission of acute leukemia, successfully using chemotherapy for the first time.

When we do give of ourselves, it’s hard to see where those dollars end up. But all we have to do is take a moment and think of a cancer survivor. Any cancer survivor.

Before World War II, a cancer diagnosis was almost always a death sentence, or required highly invasive surgery that promised little hope of success.

Now millions of people call themselves survivors, thanks to research and awareness that mean early diagnosis of cancer — and significantly increase the chances of success in treating it — that would not have happened if it weren’t for giving people like you. The American Cancer Society says that its programs have reduced the death rate from cancer by nearly a third.

And 3 million more people got to return to living their lives after a cancer diagnosis between 1991 and 2017 because of those efforts — helping everyone, no matter what kind of cancer they’re fighting.

Please keep giving to charities like the American Cancer Society (Cancer.org), St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (StJude.org), the Livestrong Foundation (Livestrong.org), the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR.org), and the Cancer Research Institute (CancerResearch.org).

Closer to home, we have: ■ The Children’s Leukemia Research Association (ChildrensLeukemia.org) in Garden City ■ The New York Cancer Foundation (NYCancerFoundation.org) in Port Jefferson ■ Cans 4 Cancer and Recycling 4 a Cure (Recycling4ACure.org) in Garden City ■ The Long Island League to Abolish Cancer (LILeagueToAbolishCancer.org) in Old Bethpage ■ The Rockville Centre Breast Cancer Coalition (RVCBCC.org) ■ Cure Cancer With Music (CureCancerWithMusic.org) in Freeport ■ Israel Children’s Cancer Foundation (IsraelCancer.org) in Lawrence ■ Hewlett House (Hewlett-House.org) in Hewlett And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Giving life is not something we should focus on for just one month of the year. It should always be in the back of our minds, so we can continue making a difference. And continue until we finally defeat cancer once and for all.

letters What McCarthy did wasn’t grounds for removal To the Editor: Re Peter King’s column last week, “What happened in the House will damage Congress”: The American people will also be damaged, because, more and more, the majority of us want both parties to work together.

Our self-serving representatives have their own agenda, and it isn’t what we want.

Mr. King wrote that former Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s talents and abilities would be sorely missed. I watched the press conference that he held, and did not hear anything that warranted his removal. When working for the American people, and working across the aisle with Democrats, are grounds for dismissal, then the two-party system we are stuck with has outlived its usefulness.

If we truly were to drain the swamp of our corrupt leadership in government, our nation’s aging sewer systems couldn’t handle the overflow. If there was ever a need for a third party, it is now.

unequivocally condemn the horrifying and despicable terrorist attacks launched by Hamas on innocent Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.

I am overwhelmed with admiration for the bravery displayed by my cousins currently serving on reserve duty in Israel. And I am praying for the continued safety of my grandmother and aunts and uncles, who are sheltering in place. On a personal level, I am so grateful for your continued prayers for the safety of my extended family.

As the proud JosHUA grandson of my late Grandfather LAFAZAn Boris, a Holocaust refugee, and as person of Jewish faith, I have struggled to articulate the depths of the devastation I am feeling.

But as an elected official, I write with a responsibility to speak with absolute

clarity during this difficult time.

Though the war is thousands of miles away, our work locally is so important at this moment. There are actions we need to take here in our county, including the following: ■ Continuing to work in partnership with the Nassau County Police Department to increase the frequency of patrols and the number of police guarding our houses of worship and neighborhoods; ■ Upholding the law I cosponsored to ban companies who support BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) from earning government contracts;

To the Editor: Re “Rallying for public power, but PSEG pushes back,” by Charles Shaw (Oct. 5-11): As the “Reimagine LIPA” campaign affirms, simply municipalizing the utility — making the Long Island Power Authority completely public — will save Long Island ratepayers money. In addition, other actions would further lower electricity rates as restructuring proceeds: Borrowing by the authority should be curtailed, and payments in lieu of taxes, and taxes themselves, should be sunsetted by the Legislature.

There should be a legislative mandate to move LIPA toward obtaining a nonprofit power supply, no longer forced to pay a premium for purchasing from for-profit power suppliers like National Grid.

In addition — and this can begin now — LIPA should act on behalf of its customers and take on the fossil fuel industry directly, by initiating a climate lawsuit against Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP and their trade organizations.

Fossil fuel companies, like the tobacco companies, have known for over 50 years that their products were dangerous.

They knew they were damaging the environment, causing global warming, and negatively affecting people’s health. This information was covered up, and propaganda denied fossil fuels’ negative impacts. The companies have deliberately spread messaging that denies the reality of human-induced climate change.

The behavior of the industry amounts to consumer fraud.

The sheer barbarism of the Hamas attack is hard to fathom. It is gutwrenching and almost inconceivable to think that these terrorists kidnapped, raped and tortured women. They beheaded dozens of babies.

They captured wheelchairbound senior citizens. And we continue to discover more Israeli deaths at the hands of unspeakable terror.

As difficult as it is, we cannot look away. It’s right now, in this moment, that the world must stand united in its categorical belief that these crimes against humanity must lead to the final elimination of Hamas and its abominable reign of terror from this Earth.

It is with a heavy heart that I recall conversations with my late Grandfather

Boris, because he would remind me consistently to promise him I would always remember two very important words: Never. Again.

Though he is no longer with us, I wish I could respond to him: “Never again” is right now.

And so in his memory, I declare: To our friends of all different faiths and backgrounds who have spoken out to support Israel: We are grateful for your solidarity.

To those institutions, nations and individuals who have chosen to equivocate in this moment: We will remember with disgust your silence.

And to those terrorist, inhuman savages in Hamas who perpetrated these atrocities: We, the Jewish people, a people who have overcome adversity for thousands of years, will eradicate you from the face of the Earth.

May God bless and protect Israel, and may God continue to bless the United States of America.

LIPA claimed over $70 million in “resiliency” spending in 2023, improving infrastructure to address climate change threats — e.g., elevating substations and re-engineering circuits to better handle outages. LIPA estimates that as of this year, it has spent more than $930 million on “stor m hardening,” to combat increasingly damaging impacts of severe and chaotic weather events linked to climate change, due largely to fossil fuels.

LIPA and its ratepayers deserve redress and compensation from the fossil fuel industry for these costs. LIPA should join other plaintiffs around the nation and initiate a lawsuit to hold these companies accountable for the price we, the public, have had to pay.

New Yorkers with spina bifida are left out To the Editor: I am writing both as a New Yorker and as someone who has lived with spina bifida for as long as I can remember. New York is a diverse, progressive state, celebrated for its commitment to equality and inclusivity. Yet it’s time we address a significant oversight: the omission of spina bifida from the official definition of developmental disabilities.

Spina bifida is a neural tube defect that affects the spine and can lead to lifelong challenges. It impacts mobility, can cause severe health issues, and often

involves surg eries and therapies throughout one’s life. By recognizing the disorder as a developmental disability, New York can take a crucial step toward ensuring that those of us who live with it have access to the support and services we require.

This change isn’t just about words on paper; it’s about acknowledging the unique hurdles we face daily. It’s about ending the isolation and ignorance that often shroud spina bifida. It’s about reducing the stigma and misconceptions that have held us back for far too long.

By revising the definition of developmental disabilities to include the disorder,

New York can help foster understanding and empathy within our communities. It can also pave the way for increased funding and research, leading to better treatment options and improved outcomes for those living with spina bifida.

New York has always been a trailblazer in the fight for civil rights and inclusivity. Let’s continue this legacy by adding spina bifida to the definition of developmental disabilities, demonstrating our commitment to supporting all of our residents, regardless of their abilities.
