Kathy Payne, a for mer teacher from East Rockaway High School, star ted the Canstruction team in 2018 and the team has won every competition since then. The Canstruction Long Island student competition challenges participating teams to design and build a sculpture only using cans. Based on this year’s theme, “Picture a World Without Hunger,” the East Rockaway team used 1,678 cans to build a Polaroid camera.

This event also gives back to those in need as the cost of admission to view the Canstruction exhibit is one can of food, which is then donated to organizations that help feed the hungry on Long Island. The sculptures are on display until Nov. 6 at the RXR Plaza in Uniondale. The builds were planned out weeks in advance at the East Rockaway High School. “The students do practice builds at the school so all the cans come in, they do their practice builds so they’re not Continued on page 9

Schools mum on $30M judgment against former teacher Byy DANIE DANIEll oFFNER doffner@liherald.com

A court awarded a former Hewitt Elementary School student $30 million last month over sexual abuse claims dating back to 1979. The judgment went against David Savage, a former fifthgrade teacher at the school, who had been accused of molesting Michael Malvin when Malvin was 10. Now in his 50s, Malvin filed a suit under the state’s Child Victims Act, which allowed anyone with abuse claims to have one last chance to sue, no matter how long ago the alleged activity took place.

Malvin named not only Savage in his 2019 filing with the Nassau County Supreme Court, but also the Lynbrook and Rockville Centre school districts, claiming they were negligent in protecting students like Malvin from abuse. But the school districts didn’t make it to the end of the case. The Lynbrook Union Free School District was dropped from the suit in April, while the Rockville Centre Union Free School District was removed in August. Both districts were removed “with prejudice,” according to court documents, meaning Malvin would not be able to re-file

against them. While documents state the districts were removed “without costs to any party,” it’s not clear if the districts settled with Malvin, or simply were removed. “We cannot comment on the outcome of the allegations that were made against the school district,” said Fredrick Aranki of Block O’Toole & Murphy, one of the lawyers who represented Malvin in his suit. Michael Cibella, who represented Savage, did not return calls seeking comment. Also mum about any potential settlement are the school districts themselves. A number of school board members and

administrators contacted by the Herald declined to comment. But that’s not enough for Jeff Greenfield, a Rockville Centre resident and Nassau County Planning Commission member, who has already contacted the school districts seeking answers. “It’s my experience, when there is a settlement, one that uses taxpayer money, that

amount of money has to be disclosed to the public,” Greenfield said. “We have a right to know how the school board spends taxpayer money. They have no right to sign away the rights of the taxpayer.” Greenfield believes school board members may be under non-disclosure agreements in Continued on page 19

Halloween fun at Scares for Cares bfiebert@liherald.com

Vincent Bonfanti, deputy grand knight of the Knights of Columbus St. Mary’s/Maris Stella Council No. 2228 in Lynbrook, honored his late friend by transforming the organization’s headquarters into a haunted Halloween celebration. Dozens showed up in costume to the third annual Scare for Cares fundraiser on Saturday. The event has become a tradition for the Knights, who host the Halloween themed party each year in remembrance of their friend Stephen Shaughnessy. “This is in remembrance of him, but also continuing what his last wish was to me which was to keep the work going,” Bonfanti said. The work that he is continuing is donating to charity, which is where he came up with the idea of Scares for Cares. “I said, ‘you know what? We can do a big charity event here for Halloween.’ And I don’t want to say this is a memorial, but more so a celebration of Stephen’s life,” Bonfanti said. Bonfanti said his motto is to “go big or go home” so he put a

lot of time into this year’s charity event. Each attendee had to pay $50 for a ticket with a portion of each ticket going towards the John Theissen children’s foundation. Money spent on the Islanders and Billy Joel ticket raffles will also go to the foundation. Along with the raffles, there was a DJ and a dance floor, which attendees were dancing on throughout the night. Those who attended were asked to come in costume, as it is tradition and the costumes ranged from comic book characters to Disney princess to very niche movie references. A variety of spooky decorations and a “haunted hallway” completed the Halloween feel. Bonfanti expressed his gratitude for being able to carry out the promise he gave Shaughnessy to continue giving back to charity. “I hope that I’ve been making him proud throughout the years,” Bonfanti said about Shaughnessy. “He’s given me much more since he’s not been here. Between friends, joining up with the Knights, and all of you guys, I wouldn’t be able to keep my promise,” Boinfanti said.

The SonS of Union Veterans gathered at Greenfield Cemetery to honor Sgt. Charles Hammond of Lynbrook.

Lynbrook Civil War Veteran remembered with gravestone The Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil Wars honored the lives of six veterans who were buried at the Greenfield Cemetery in Uniondale without grave markers, with a remembrance ceremony on Saturday, Oct. 15. Dennis Duffy, a Lynbrook resident and member of the Sons of Union Veterans, was able to obtain new gravestone markers from the U.S. Veterans Administration Department. Among the veterans honored with a new gravestone was Charles Hammond of Lynbrook, who, according to Duffy’s research, was only 16 years old when he

enlisted. It was during the early days of the Civil War, when Hammond traveled to Cleveland and enlisted in the 124th Ohio Infantry. However, he was no child marching off to war. The young soldier fought in some of the worst battles of the war. He re-enlisted twice and rose to the ranks of Corporal and then Sergeant. Sadly, not much more is known about Sgt. Charles Hammond. There are no photos and no known biography. All that is known is his final address—360 Vincent Ave. in Lynbrook. —Daniel Offner

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

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

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

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

In a season battered by injuries, the East Rockaway football team battled until the end to nearly earn a postseason spot. Needing a win in the season finale against unbeaten North Shore last Friday night at home to extend their season, the Rocks scored the first touchdown before the defending Conference IV champions seized control en route to a 48-21 win. The season-ending defeat left East Rockaway (3-5) one win short of reaching the eightteam playoffs for a second straight season. The North Shore game was the first time since the third week of the season in a 31-27 win at Island Trees that East Rockaway had an entirely healthy starting lineup. “When you’re taking two way starters out of a team in Conference IV it really affects your season,” said 28th-year East Rockaway football head coach Russel Pajer. “Only three out of our eight games did we have everyone healthy.” East Rockaway set itself up with a chance to secure a postseason in the season finale with a dominant 42-13 Friday night home win against Oyster Bay on Oct. 21 where nearly all starters were back from injury. Senior running back John Giannotti had a big evening with 194 yards and four rushing touchdowns as well as a 76-yard receiving score from quarterback Tyler Hyland. Giannotti led Conference IV in touchdowns this season with 19 and amassed more than 1,000 rushing yards despite missing one game due to injury when the Rocks fell to Seaford 32-12 on Oct. 1. A big reason for his success out of the backfield was the strong play of senior lineman Chris Becker. “He really paved the way for us,” said Pajer of the 6-3, 275-pound Becker. Becker and Giannoti, who are captains along with Colin Sharkey and Tyler Hyland, are among 19 seniors Pajer will lose to graduation. The Rocks will have some talented returners next season like sophomore Anthony Grimaldi and Lucas Cortazer, who both shined at running back and on defense.

seNioR JohN giaNNotti led Conference IV in touchdowns with 19 and surpassed 1,000 yards on the ground despite missing one game. Pajer is optimistic about the future of his program after the junior varsity team had a strong season and even more proud of the strong character the players are building through community volunteering, something he has always taken pride in. His long tenure included coaching Tommy Barone, the first Long Islander to play varsity football with a physical disability in the early 2000s, who captured New York State’s Riddell 12th Man award as a senior and was a longtime assistant

coach with the East Rockaway Junior High team until this year. “We’re really big in trying to say that when you do things you not only are doing it for your own name and your family, you’re doing it for the school, the team, the community and you represent everybody in East Rockaway,” Prajer said. “Football is one aspect but trying to develop people for their futures is the other aspect of coaching and that is even more important than a football game.”

Students gain real-life architectural experience

Along with the competitive aspect, there is a huge learning curve for the students as well. Payne explained students are getting an early experience at STEM by constructing these builds. “The students get judged on structural

integrity and they also get judged on the creative use of labels,” Payne said. East Rockaway students hosted various fundraisers throughout the year to collect all 1,678 cans used to build the Polaroid camera. Fundraisers include bake sales, a car wash, and a jeans day on

which faculty chip in money so that they can wear jeans once a month. After raising the funds to buy the cans and then building the structures, the cans then get donated to local food banks. “People can donate money and they can donate cans,” Payne said. Although the East Rockaway Canstruction team encourages people to donate cans, they have a very specific set of rules for which cans to donate. “The challenge is that the labels in the can donations matter,” Payne said. “This is because they are part of the Canstruction design.” Payne, who is no longer at East Rockaway High School, was an integral part of bringing the Canstruction team to ERHS and has since joined the Canstruction committee. “I decided this year to join the Canstruction committee and the committee participates in things like putting together all the baskets for the raffles on reception night,” Payne said. There are professionals who have studied this sort of thing that work at the Long Island Canstruction. “Mostly architects and engineers are on the board of directors,” Payne said. “There’s a whole committee of some former educators, some current educators, and a whole array of people and I chose to join this committee because I think it is such an excellent organization with such an excellent goal.”

up there thinking, ‘Uh oh, we didn’t plan for this,’” said Payne, who brought the competition to East Rockaway. The Canstruction organization provides the transportation for these cans to the Plaza. “A few years ago, some of my co-workers and I went to the city to go see the big Canstruction build,” Payne said. “We wanted our kids to get involved in this and lo and behold, we started our own Canstruction team in 2018.” This is an international competition, but East Rockaway High School competes on a local level. “This year, we were a little short on student teams,” Payne said. “I was a little disappointed for the East Rockaway team because they didn’t really have any competition.” Payne loved the competitive aspect of this event as she believes that “there is nothing more satisfying than watching kids problem-solve among themselves.” She added that there’s a lot of technique that goes behind building these structures so that they are perfect. “The students face challenges like making sure all of their can labels are turned the same way and if they are lined up the way they need to be,” She said. According to Payne, the students undergo a different set of challenges every year forcing students to rely on each other. This competition involves teams of professional architects and engineers making it fascinating for people to

Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick calls for common sense By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

It’s time for a change — and some fresh thoughts — in Albany. And Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick hopes the voters in her state senate district will start that change right here by tapping her to fill the seat once held by Todd Kaminsky. The Republican plans to do that through her continued campaign focusing on affordability and cost of living, with the hope that development — and jobs — will alleviate the issue. “To bring jobs to the community, to improve on our affordable housing, I think there could be tax incentives that could be put together through the state,” CanzoneriFitzpatrick told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable event. “People that I’ve spoken to throughout my district, they’ve talked about the fact that they can’t afford their rents. The last thing we want is people homeless. The last thing we want is people homeless and on the street.” While acknowledging that funding to affordable housing programs would cost money, she hopes to offset the cost by eliminating wasteful spending elsewhere. “The tax-and-spend attitude that we’ve had up in Albany has to change,” Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said. Crime also has been a hot topic among Long Island voters, with the Malverne village trustee calling for even more changes to recent attempts at bail reform. “Yes, there was a need to tweak what we had. I would absolutely acknowledge that,” she said. “There were certain people that fell through the cracks with devastating consequences. We needed to look at that. But they went too far. We’ve got to peel it back. We’ve got to come back to some common sense.” Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick stressed the need to give judges

And she hopes to champion that approach as a member of the state senate. discretion over bail to keep repeat offenders off the streets. She also suggested expanding the list of crimes for which judges could enforce paid bail. But Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick also links guns with crime. The Republican supports modest restrictions on firearms, but also emphasizes the problem of the so-called “iron pipeline” by which guns flow from parts of the country with lax gun laws to the Northeast. “There’s no reason to have assault rifles available to people,” she said. “I don’t see that as a need without infringing on people’s Second Amendment right. I think

there are already in place reasonable restrictions and processes for people to get legal guns. “I think that we have to look at where the gun is coming from, and you have to stop that. I do think there is federal help that needs to be given to this.” But if we look at guns, we also have to look at mental health, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick said, suggesting increased funding for mental health services. In particular, she advocated for such expanded services in schools. And speaking of schools: “I think the SUNY system is probably the most economical program that I’m aware of, even compared to other states programs. I don’t see that the legislature could do more.” While Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick is open to targeted programs that might relieve debt for those who enter service professions, she generally disapproves of debt forgiveness as a concept. As for reproductive rights, Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick declared it a non-issue. “A woman’s right to an abortion is set already in New York,” she said. “There’s nothing that I can do to change that. There’s nothing that the governor elected could do to change that. I don’t see that the current legislature (could do) more to change that. “It’s not an issue. It shouldn’t be an issue. People are making it an issue, and that’s ignorant, and that’s insulting to the constituents to make it an issue. However, the law that’s in place — if it were to come up to be voted on — I would not vote to change it.”

Moore stresses fiscal responsibility in Albany By KYLE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

With a long career in union leadership and village government, Ken Moore will be the first to argue his hands-on approach to tackling problems will best serve the people he wants to represent in the state senate. Running for Todd Kaminsky’s former seat, the Democrat marks affordability as his chief concern if elected to office, which he looks to address thanks to his record of fiscal responsibility. Moore runs a tight ship as mayor of Bellerose, touting a record he says saves taxpayers from redundant and wasteful spending. As mayor, he’s cut the number of village employees, instead relying on cheaper contracted workers — and Nassau County itself — for services. “Our costs are much lower from what it was years ago,” Moore told reporters during a recent Herald Roundtable session. “I think there’s a lot of wasteful money being spent out there. I’m very, very hands-on.” Moore has also suggested that revenues from downstate casino licensing and taxes on the legal sale of marijuana can help offset many of those tax burdens. Moore has also proposed ways of handling other hotbutton issues and expenditures, like education. He approves of student loan forgiveness, and suggests on the state level a targeted tuition voucher program for young people who pursue careers in fields with worker shortages — like education itself. When it comes to crime and bail reform, however, Moore acknowledges mistakes were made. And yes, by his own party. “It certainly has to be opened up and discussed again, without a doubt,” he said. “The crime seems to be out of control. Judges, I think, definitely need a lot more discretion on how they impose (bail decisions) on these indi-

KEN MoorE saYs he can bring the same fiscal responsibility to Albany as a state senator as he’s demonstrated as the mayor of Bellerose. viduals.” However, Moore stops short on blaming higher crime rates on those activities, saying much of what’s being said across the aisle is overblown while diminishing the underlying problem of mental illness. “Most of these people that are doing it have mental illness problems. Anyone who’s going to push someone onto subway tracks for no reason is not in their right state of mind”. Moore wants to expand state funding for mental health care, suggesting broader services at facilities like

Creedmoor Psychiatric Center. When it comes to guns, Moore says he supports statelevel restrictions on assault weapons, expanded background checks for gun purchases, and restrictions on concealed firearms. “There’s no reason why we need an AK-47 to go hunting,” Moore said. “I understand people like to have guns, but there needs to be better background checks. I don’t like the idea of people walking around legally with a concealed weapon.” Moore is far from an anti-gun hardliner however. Indeed, he’s suggested taking another look at so-called gun-free zones. “The areas where they’re not allowed to carry guns, that seems to be the areas, for me, where I want people to carry guns,” Moore said, citing specific areas like Times Square in Manhattan. In-line with this reasoning, Moore remains open to the idea of armed security officers outside schools. “I’m certainly not against it,” he said. “I would really entertain I don’t know why they wouldn’t, personally. They’re the person that’s trained.” Moore also argued that gun permitting and training for retired law enforcement officers are too onerous. “Someone who’s been trained for 30 years on how to carry a gun, shoot a gun and handle a gun, is no longer legally allowed to carry the gun,” Moore said. “He or she has to go for additional training every year so they can carry a gun. To me, that just makes no sense whatsoever.”

STEPPING OUT

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Classic Cranberry Sauce This year skip the canned cranberry jelly and go for fresh sauce. It’s very easy to make. • 1 cup water or orange juice (or pomegranate juice) • 1 cup sugar • 4 cups fresh cranberries

Brown aims to aid Republicans in Albany

GENERAL ELECTION Candidates

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Ari Brown strongly believes what he says — and strongly says what he believes. After defeating Democratic challenger David Lobl in a special election last spring, Brown succeeded fellow Republican Melissa Miller as the local Assemblyman as she took on a new role with the Hempstead town board. Serving in the Cedarhurst village government for roughly two decades, Brown remains a trustee, and was even tapped to be the village board’s liaison to the Cedarhurst Business Improvement District. Although he has spent quite some time in political office, Brown doesn’t consider himself a politician. Yet, he admits he’s running to help the entire local GOP team like gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin, and congressional candidate Anthony D’Eposito.

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

Michael Malaszczyk/Herald

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.”

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

Curran wants to pick up where he left off BRIaN CuRRaN has been out of the Assembly for a few years now, but in that time, the world has changed — so much, he believes it’s time voters he wants to represents give him another shot at Albany.

By BEN FIEBERT bfiebert@liherald.com

Democrats aren’t bringing to the table concrete solutions to key issues, so Brian Curran is stepping in with plans to change that. In his efforts to become the next Assemblyman representing a solid portion of communities within the Town of Hempstead, Curran had focused on public safety, lowering taxes, and bettering the educational system. And even if Democrats maintain control of the Assembly as expected, Curran remains optimistic he can push his agenda forward. Especially since he was doing it in Albany before. “Getting back to being a minority member in the Assembly is tough,” Curran told reporters at a recent Herald Roundtable session. “But we were able to do things when we were able to pass the property tax cap,” calling that one of the “biggest pieces of tax legislation to hit Long Island in the last 30 or 40 years.” But there are other issues on Long Island that still need plenty of work. Especially with one area that seems to be hitting the wallets of his neighbors hard. “Utility costs (are) something that has to be dealt with,” Curran said. He believes that “green” legislation could ultimately be a good goal to work toward, but the current legislation in front of lawmakers addressing climate will only increase util-

ities costs. That includes plans from Gov. Kathy Hochul to switch only to electrical cars within the next decade or so. “I haven’t found a scientist that said that there’s technology that’s going to allow us to have solely electric cars by 2035,” Curran said. “If there’s one out there and they have a plan to do it, I’ll be on board. But the cost associated with that is high.” With families already dealing with high taxes and inflation, Curran doesn’t believe many of them could pay roughly $60,000 for an electric car. Tesla, Ford, and others offer electric cars for less than $50,000, while the Nissan Leaf sells for less than $30,000. Curran also wants to make sure government oversight won’t drive utility and water bills higher. Crime remains at the forefront of the November elections, especially New York’s cashless bail system — something Curran voted against while an Assemblyman the first time around. “I was against it because every single law enforcement agency, along with every DEA association, came to us and said that this was a bad bill,” he said. “If you’re

Tim Baker/Herald

going to reform the system, this bill needs changes. In its current form, this would wreak havoc in the communities.” Curran believes people who cannot afford bai can “find out what other type of collateral could be instituted to make sure that the person arrested comes back” to court. Although he doesn’t agree on all points, Curran generally sides with Democrats that universal pre-kindergarten is a good idea.

It’s been a few years since Curran represented this area in Albany, but hopes he can return. For him, there is a lot of work that needs to be done. “It is not the same district — or at least the very same characteristics of what it used to be — where it was safe and more affordable,” he said. “There are not the same characteristics in District 21 from when I left and when I was asked to run. “That’s the reason why I decided to do it.”

Griffin committed to building for the future By BEN FIEBERT

Judy GRIFFIN says she’s confident about getting another term in the Assembly because all voters have to do is take a look at her record and accomplishments. Still, there is more work to be done, and she says she’s ready to go.

bfiebert@liherald.com

Her Republican colleagues in the lower chamber might not agree, but Assemblywoman Judy Griffin remains devoted to her social reform agenda. As she prepares for what she hopes will be a third term, the Democrat already has outlined several key priorities. Those include criminal justice reform, improving education systems, dealing with the opioid epidemic, bringing in new small businesses, opening up more affordable housing, increasing funding in mental health services, and making roads like the Southern State Parkway less dangerous. Yet, with bail reform remaining a hot topic on the campaign trail, Griffin believes Republicans are simply unaware about what transforming a criminal system to not just favor the wealthy means. “I think what we often hear from the other side is that it’s kind of a uniformed position where the GOP is always rallying against bail reform,” Griffin told reporters at a recent Herald Roundtable session. “They continue to say they’re going to get elected and repeal bail reform. But, if you take a look at 2021, they did not repeal bail reform.” And if it’s not the claims of higher crime based on not incarcerating those charged — but not convicted — of crimes, then it’s guns. “We just had this summer bill where if you were accused of domestic violence,

you won’t be allowed to have a gun,” Griffin said. “That’s pretty easy, and I think that’s a good measure. But (Republicans) all voted no.” Griffin says she’s confused as to what Republicans believe safety to be, but she adds “people like me work really hard on safety policies, and the work involves huge negotiations.” One safety measure in particular is road safety. Griffin says she’s concerned with the amount of flowers from memorials she sees along the Southern State Parkway, and is working to make that particular highway safer. “I’ve lived in Nassau for over 30 years, so I’m used to the curves on the Southern State,” she said. “But you get some people that come here and never driven on this road before. They’re driving it like it’s a straight road — like an expressway — and you can’t do that.” Griffin talked at length with Suffolk County assistant district attorney Maureen McCormick to get insight into bills she authored intended to help police crack down on drunk drivers. “She regularly speaks with lots of people on Long Island that lost a loved one due to drunk driving,” Griffin said. “So it would be really important to implement

Tim Baker/Herald

these road safety bills this year.” Bills like that will become more important, especially as more people move onto Long Island. “Going back to Baldwin, there’s people there that would love for their kids to move out of their house and live somewhere right there in Baldwin,” Griffin said. But all education requires a top-to-bottom focus from legislators. “We got record funding for universal

pre-K on Long Island,” Griffin said. Griffin isn’t worried about a “red wave,” saying her record speaks for itself. “I work with the police, which is why I have their endorsement,” the Assemblywoman said. “I have the endorsement of all these labor unions, Planned Parenthood because I believe in the woman’s right to choose. I have a wide tent of endorsements because I really am on all those issues.”

The state’s Committee on Open Government — designed to advise and oversee public records access in the state — has issued opinions in the past concluding any governing agency subject to Freedom of Information Law cannot withhold a settlement agreement, even if protected by a non-disclosure agreement. “Any limitation on access to the record must be governed by FOIL, and the public’s statutory right to access government records cannot be bargained away by contract or agreement,” according to one advisory opinion published by the committee in 2019. “Several controversies have arisen in which agreements or settlements included provisions requiring confidentiality. Those kinds of agreements have uniformly been struck down and found to be inconsistent with FOIL.” That has been interpreted to mean no governmental agency is granted carte blanche to withhold information, or sign agreements that would require them to withhold information — especially if it ultimately costs taxpayers money. Malvin accused Savage, now 69, of abusing him over the course of four years, beginning at Hewitt Elementary,

and continuing later to Lynbrook Middle School, where Savage ended up as a teacher. Malvin shared his recollection of those encounters on a social media post in 2017, claiming his interaction with his teacher escalated from “positive male role model” to one of an inappropriate sexual nature. “Nobody would understand our friendship between a 28- and now 11-year-old, and together we decided that we’d better keep the lion’s share of it a secret,” Malvin said, providing graphic details on how he claimed Savage groomed him for the years of sexual abuse that would follow. When Malvin made the posts, New York’s statute of limitations — both criminal and civil — had long expired. But that changed in early 2019 when Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Child Victims Act into law. It allowed sexual assault victims to file civil suits up until their 55th birthday, instead of 23. It also allowed for criminal prosecution up to a victim’s 23rd birthday, rather than their 18th. It allowed some to file suit over an extended “window” of time for some victims who might have otherwise fallen through the cracks. That window, however, closed last year. After leaving the Lynbrook school district, Savage continued to teach for another 24 years at schools in Elmont, Miller Place and Plainedge, before retiring.

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!

to todAy’s puzzle

opINIoNS

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

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

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

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

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

An election that will move heaven and earth

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
