Benefit comic convention HurriCon is a super time By NIColE FoRMISANo nformisano@liherald.com

ROC, LYN , MAL, FRA, BAL

What do you get when you cross a comic convention with a hurricane aftermath story? HurriCon, of course. The seventh benefit comic convention at Bethany Congregational Church, in East Rockaway, last Saturday was a hit, as it has been every year since it was created in 2018. “It’s the best feeling,” Rich Drezen, who self-publishes his own comic series, said of the convention. “It’s almost better than

breathing. I say almost because I’m asthmatic, and I need to breathe.” More than 100 people from across the state gathered at the church for the muchanticipated event. What began as a fundraiser to repair the church’s floors — which had taken a beating when the building serving as East Rockaway’s resource center in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy in 2012 — has expanded to the full-sized comic convention that it is today, while still maintaining its original purpose.

Waverly Park students give big ‘thank you’ to vets

November 23, 2023 — LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD

The students of Waverly Park Elementary School understand the importance of honoring veterans for their service and sacrifice — so they invited local vets over on Nov. 9 for a very special occasion. Students with veteran family members assembled a collage of pictures, facts and comments of pride for guests to view as they entered the front lobby. The veterans were then greeted by applause from all students as they were welcomed into the gymnasium and sat on the stage. Several students stood at the podium to share poems and messages of thanks. The local heroes were also handed gifts, including flowers and crafts by students. The chorus even gave a musical tribute, singing patriotic songs such as “The Star-Spangled Banner” and “God Bless America.” As the event concluded, veterans’ loved ones hurried onto the stage for a warm embrace. —Nicole Formisano

Every Marion Street student gathered outside the front entrance to greet veterans from the community. As veterans took their seats, students held up signs with messages of thanks. Appreciation was shown through music by the chorus and band, and the fifth grade student council shared personal remarks. Before the veterans embraced their family members in the crowd, the poppies, crafted out of paper and popsicles, were planted into the ground.

Neighbors rally for aid, end to gangs in Haiti By REI WOLFSOHN Correspondent

Skye Margies/ Herald

Community members gathered for a rally and march to advocate for immediate increased international aid in Haiti, as gang violence has caused chaos in the country. David Duchatellier, rally organizer from Haiti Relief Effort, called out that ‘Haiti cannot wait’ any longer as killings, kidnappings and violence run rampant. include 247 women and 78 children. According to United Nations Human Rights Watch, over one-third of the population, 4.4 million people, lack access to clean water and two-thirds have limited or no sanitations service. More than one-third of Haitians live with food insecurity. Over 217,000 children suffer from malnutrition. “It’s a complete unstable political, social and economic condition right now,” Solages said. Children in Haiti have to wait for the streets to calm down in order to go to school, and pray that it is safe when it is time to go home. Seniors who are

As to the latter, your writer has found reading daily affirmations to be an invaluable resource for maintaining a positive mindset. The great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar notably said that “People say that motivation doesn’t last. Neither does bathing – that’s why we recommend it daily”. Daily positive affirmations may be found by googling “daily affirmations” and choosing one of the free services that appeals to you. An analysis of 38 gratitude studies concluded that “gratitude interventions can have positive benefits for people in terms of their well-being, happiness, life satisfaction, grateful mood, grateful disposition, and positive affect, and they can result in decreases in depressive symptoms”.

Protecting Your Future

Gratitude has to do with appreciation. Appreciation means to add value to. Things that appreciate tend to grow, just as being grateful for something or someone raises its or their value in our estimation. Even though, at any given time, countless more things are going right than going wrong in most of our lives, too many of us focus more on what’s going wrong and take for granted what’s going right — our health, our loved ones, our resources. “Gratitude interventions” is the term used for cultivating the attitude of gratitude in our lives. The father of positive psychology, Martin E. P. Seligman, suggests an exercise called “Three Good Things” whereby at the end of the day you write down three good things that happened to you and why. The “why” is very important. An app called “Gratitude Plus” allows you to (1) share gratitude with your favorite people (2) easily reflect on the good in your life (3) create groups with friends and family (4) hear from people around the world (5)

building or have built their retirement homes in Haiti have seen the money they sent down there to build disappear. Others have had gangs take over their homes. “The gangs have more guns than the police in Haiti, as we speak,” Solages said. According to PBS, as of July, gangs control about half the country’s territory and most of the capital of Port-auPrince. Gangs have locked children in schools where they can’t get food. All of this has caused droves of Haitians to seek asylum in the United States. Meanwhile, a vigilante movement

called “Bwa Kale” has taken to stoning and burning suspected gang members in the streets. David Duchatellier, rally organizer from Haiti Relief Effort, said his group brought medical aid to a Haitian school annually, but the violence forced the visits to stop in 2019. He was also directly affected by the violence in Haiti. Gangs burned down his uncle’s house in Port-au-Prince in September. According to Solages, there are a few types of intervention Haitian-Americans would like to see in the country. These include monetary tools and policies, because the United States has controlled the Bank of Haiti since the 19th century. Duchatellier encouraged people to write to and call their representatives, because that will get the message closer to the United States president. “They can do something,” Duchatellier said. “We are so many Haitians over here. We would like to go and visit Haiti.” Duchatellier hopes the rally will bring more awareness to the problems and more motivation for the United States or United Nations to intervene. Despite the bad weather for the rally, he hasn’t lost hope. “T he weather didn’ t cooperate today,” Duchatellier said. “We could have had more people. But we’re going to keep trying.”

Neighbors supporting international intervention in Haiti are looking to stop increased gang violence plaguing the island nation. Last month, in a speech to the United Nations, President Joe Biden said, “Haiti cannot wait.” David Duchatellier, rally organizer for Haiti Relief Effort, used those words as a rally cry in Elmont on Oct. 21 in French, “Haiti ne peut plus attendre.” The rally advocated for immediate inter national intervention in Haiti. Approximately 75 community members last week attended the rally, which started at the intersection of Dutch Broadway and Corona Avenue in Valley Stream and concluded at the Dutch Broadway Sports Complex in Elmont. “We’re asking the inter national c o m m u n i t y f o r a n i n t e r ve n t i o n , because of the high level of violence, killings, kidnappings, gang violence and violence against women,” said Carrié Solages, county legislator. As of October, the United Nations Human Rights Watch reported that gang violence in Haiti has resulted in more than 5,500 cases of gang violence, more than 3,100 killings and more than 1,200 kidnappings. Solages said there have been more than 1,400 acts of violence against women. The killings

There’s Black Friday. And then there’s Small Business … Saturday? No, Eric Alexander says: Small Business Season. “We call it ‘Small Business Season’ for a reason,” said Alexander, founder of the Long Island Main Street Alliance, and director of Vision Long Island. “It’s not just ‘Small Business Saturday.’ It’s much bigger than that.” Alexander joined several chambers of commerce and other local leaders to push the “Shop Local” message that can sometimes be overlooked in a world filled with box box stores and online shopping. Yet, it’s focusing on mom-andpop stores that keep jobs — and money — right here in the community. “All of your small business owners need your support year-round,” said Julie Marchesella, president of the Elmont Chamber of Commerce. “It’s not just at holiday time.” “The more of that money that we spend locally at local retailers, (the more that) stays here in our economy and allows us to grow,” added Joseph Garcia, president of the Farmingdale Chamber of Commerce, which hosted the news conference. A number of chambers — if not all of them — have been hard at work for weeks getting ready for the holiday shopping season, which officially starts the

different experiences. That’s very much embodied” in each community’s business district. For every $100 spent at local businesses, $68 remain in the community, according to data compiled by Capital One Shopping Research. And local businesses are able to keep three times the money spent locally than chain stores. Making sure that happens, Lynbrook Chamber of Commerce president Polly Talbott says, opens so many doors for new ideas and fresh activities to come to neighborhoods. “I think it’s really great how we all are able to share what we do,” she said, “so that we can actually create more things for our own communities.” But getting people to shop locally is not as easy as many would hope. In fact, 1-in-5 Americans say they shop at local businesses often, according to a September study conducted by IPX1031. However, while 90 percent of those surveyed say they would like to see more stores open up locally, 81 percent say they want to shop locally, but still can’t pass up deals offered by larger chain retailers. Ivan Sayles, representing the Nautical Mile Merchants Association, likely summarized the message his fellow chamber leaders wanted to convey the most: “Remember to make small business your business, because small business means big business for Long Island.”

NCC unveils $31M STEM-dedicated facility First of many planned renovations across Garden City campus By NICOLE FORMISANO nformisano@liherald.com

With the unveiling of its new building dedicated to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, Nassau Community College has taken another step toward solidifying itself as one of the premier schools in the SUNY system. Its $31 million transformation of “Cluster C” was celebrated last week with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by nearly 100 people in the courtyard in front of the remodeled structure. “What you have done in this particular building was transformative,” Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker, a former member of the college’s board of trustees, told attendees. “It’s enduring. It’s going to last a lifetime.” The new facility includes laboratories, a planetarium, outdoor classrooms, and an observatory with telescopes. The high-tech building also features climatefriendly green roofs, solar panels, and a mini-wind turbine for environmental and climate studies. “This momentous occasion not only represents the physical expansion of our institutions,” said Genette AlvarezOrtiz, acting academic affairs vice president at NCC, “but also stands as a testament for our commitment to nurturing

“It’s just changing that environment.” Nearly all students will find themselves in the three-story Cluster C at some point or another — and some seemed impressed with the changes. “There’s a big difference,” said Harvey Weiner, who takes a physics class in Cluster C. “It’s just more modernized.” Originally constructed in the 1970s, renovations of Cluster C began in 2018 before being interrupted by the coronavirus pandemic. Construction resumed later on, and the facility officially celebrated its opening this month. “Many of the most pressing global challenges — such as public health crises, climate change and energy sustainNicole Formisano/Herald ability — require solutions rooted in Nassau Community College administration and supporters — including Nassau STEM disciplines,” said Jorgé Gardyn, County Legislator Arnold Drucker, chief administrative officer Maria Conzatti, board of chair of the college’s board of trustees. trustees chair Jorgé Gardyn, and acting academic affairs vice president Genette “This state-of-the-art facility will proAlvarez-Ortiz, celebrated the transformation of Cluster C into a high-tech academic vide our college students with invaluSTEM building.

There’s something for everyone at convention Continued from page 1

“Bethany is an open and affirming congregation, which simply means that everyone is welcome to come and worship regardless of who you are,” David Donovan, founder of HurriCon, said. “I want you to come to HurriCon and feel welcome and comfortable, just as we want you to feel the same way at Bethany Church.” “It’s not just about us — it’s really (meant) to be a community outreach,” Donovan’s wife, Linda, said. “This community of people is awesome. You couldn’t find friendlier, nicer, more talented people.” The church was filled with booths manned by comic lovers selling original artwork, vintage comics, stickers, Funko collectibles and more. Even the Long Island Tardis — a life-sized replica of the iconic time-traveling phone box from “Doctor Who” — was there. The convention’s grand finale was a raffle that included sought-after items like replicas of Negan’s bat and Michonne’s katana from “The Walking Dead,” a signed Archie vs. Predator comic, a coupon for a pet portrait by local artist Meghan Taylor, a signed print by late Batman artist John Buscema, and a Captain America statue. Kimball Thorpe, of East Rockaway, a comic artist, has been coming since the inaugural HurriCon in 2018. He and lithographer Phil Mitchell created art pieces right at their booth, taking requests and creating portraits of beloved characters. The two artists have known each other since high school. “It’s like kindred spirits when we come here,” Thorpe said. “People like the characters and the stories,” Mitchell said. “They’ve grown up with them.” “And we meet a lot of people that do their own art,” Thorpe added. “It’s interesting to see what they’re doing, and trade ideas.” The attendees, who ranged in age from 7 to 93, included professional and amateur creators, comics fanatics and casual enjoyers, and all seemed to find something of interest among the varied attractions. At the core of it all was the warmth of an accepting community, and the excitement of bonding with others with a love of the decidedly offbeat. “That’s what’s great about it: You know you’re with people who have an appreciation,” Tom Travers, who selfpublishes an original comic series, said. “They’re into a lot of the same stuff — comics and animation, movies. Similar tastes and interests. That’s what’s cool, to be around that atmosphere. You’re not always getting that anywhere else. It’s a collection of fans and passionate, creative people.”

phil mitchell, a professional lithographer, created and sold works right at his booth. He says that people have a fondness for the characters and stories they grew up with, and that fondness is part of what makes comic conventions like HurriCon so popular.

Kimball thorpe, left, and phil mitchell are longtime friends and professional artists who have attended HurriCon for years. thorpe says it’s a gathering of ‘kindred spirits.’

rich drezen was inspired by self-published comic artist tom travers to start his own comic series. He says that the feeling HurriCon gives him is second only to breathing.

david donovan, who has loved comics since he was a child, began HurriCon in 2018 as a fundraiser to repair Bethany Congregational Church’s floors, which were still damaged years after Hurricane Sandy. donovan’s wife, Linda, says that community outreach continues to be HurriCon’s mission.

tom travers fell in love with drawing when he was a kid, and wanted to become a professional. now he self-publishes his own comic series. at conventions like HurriCon, he said, he shares his passion with other people.

melanie russertt, 11, left, isn’t a big fan of comics, but her sister Kaylee, 9, has a 15-way tie for her favorite superhero. they both say that their favorite part of HurriCon is supporting their dad, phil, who created an original comic series.

ome aboard! The life and times of artist pair Arthur Dove and Helen Torr are the focus of Heckscher Museum’s newest exhibit,“Salt Life: Arthur Dove and Helen Torr.” Before setting down in their Centerport cottage, the couple lived on a sailboat — the Mona — in and around the North Shore during the 1920s and 1930s. Captivated by the nature around them, Torr and Dove channeled their fascination into their modernist style. When Dove and Torr sailed into Huntington Harbor in July 1924 aboard their 42-foot yawl, they could not have anticipated the extent to which Long Island’s North Shore would inspire some of their greatest paintings. Dove, a native of Geneva — and a Cornell graduate — had achieved early recognition among avant-garde artists for the abstract paintings he had created 14 years earlier, the first by an American artist.

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

So it’s up to us to do all we can for our community.” “One of the things I’m hoping to do in my future, and I’m hoping to do it in every town,” Shaw said, “is remind you that there are so many other veterans that are in our towns that have not even known what we have here, everything we do. “I’m hoping to get the word out more to a lot of the veterans that are everywhere in this area,” he added, “and try to get them to join us, because they just don’t know what we have to offer them, and what we have to offer the towns and communities.”

Hempstead Town Councilwoman Laura Ryder thanked all the veterans for their service, as well as their family members. “Being from a military family myself, I understand what it’s like, and the sacrifices that the families have to make as well,” Ryder said. “And when your loved one goes off to war, off to serve, it’s a very difficult time for the families back at home.” Sandrowicz noted the obligation he feels. “As veterans we have an obligation to our community,” he said. “As veterans, we were trained to help people, and that’s what we’ve got to remember, is to help everybody and make it a better place.”

nine veterans were inducted into assemblyman Brian Curran’s Veterans Hall of Honor, among them James Keane, of rockville Centre. He was joined by Curran, rockville Centre mayor francis murray, State Sen. patricia Canzonerifitzpatrick and Hempstead town Councilwoman Laura ryder.

Say ‘ruff’ for Nassau County’s Barkfest

LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — November 23, 2023

Nassau County’s Eisenhower Park came alive with dogs and spirit on Oct. 29 for the annual “Barkfest.” As Long Island’s largest free pet costume contest and parade, pooches of all shapes, sizes and breeds came dressed up, for a chance to be named winner. The event took place at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Field 6 of the park, and despite the rain, there was still a good turnout of Nassau County residents, and of course, their dogs. The event was sponsored by the Nassau SPCA, Long Island’s K98.3 radio, and CSEA Nassau Local 830. From 1 to 3 p.m., dogs that stopped by were able to linger and meet other friendly faces, and their owners were able to help pets in need, by bringing a pet food donation for local organizations that were at the event with tents. Whether the pups were dressed up in Harry Potter gear, or as Woody from ‘Toy Story,” the creativity of owners was unmatched. In the end, Bastian, a terrier, who was dressed up as Bob Barker, the longtime host of CBS’s The Price Is Right, was named winner. For more on the work of Nassau County’s SPCA, and upcoming events, visit NassauCountySPCA.org or call (516)576-2921. — Jordan Vallone

Should I call my neighbor on code violations?

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

Q. My neighbor has at least five code violations you’ve written about. I was curious one day, since they play music very loud and even put in a new fence, so I verified that the fence extends six inches onto my property. I plan to challenge them, but wonder how this would affect me. We actually get along pretty well, and I just always tolerate the extra traffic from their illegal renter, their parties, the shed I have to look at in our common side yard, etc., but would I be opening a can of worms? Do I really need an architect, and would I get in trouble and have to spend a lot of money just because I spoke out?

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Immaculate Center Hall Colonial

his meticulously updated 3000 sq.ft. Center hall Colonial residence offers a perfect blend of design and comfortable living spaces. As you step inside, you are greeted by an inviting entryway that leads you to the main level. The open concept layout boasts a spacious living room with large windows, allowing abundant natural light to fill the room. The gleaming hardwood floors and fresh neutral paint create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. This sunlit home offers an amazing layout with spacious rooms throughout. You will enjoy 5 bedrooms on the 2nd level with 3 full bathrooms. The first floor has an additional bedroom/office with a main floor full bathroom. All this and a full basement and 1.5 attached garage is included in this immaculate home in SD#14.

A. Probably. I just returned from Europe, and was amazed by the response from each tour guide that “nobody gets permits,” it seems. All the code violations I saw, like no handrails on cliff edges, missing hotel fire safety devices, no handicapped access, and no bathrooms, were the kinds of accommodations we take for granted in the onte eeper U.S. Walking half a mile to the only public (pay) restroom in a sprawling village was, sadly, typical, but acceptable. That, coupled with the first statement a woman made to me at a party we were invited to on a ship, made me think of how “freedom isn’t free.” In her Australian accent, she introduced herself and asked me what I do back in the States. As soon as I uttered the words, “I’m an architect,” she jumped right in with, “Oh, we hate architects,” as she described the construction company she is an “administrator” for. She told how they design their own construction. I wonder how well that works, considering the levels of legalities there are, like building codes, fire codes, plumbing codes, electrical codes, and multiple levels of engineering required. Who’s protecting the unsuspecting consumer from the service provider? So you may ask yourself if codes even matter. Your neighbor, like that construction company, is apparently enabled by a lack of enforcement or action on anybody’s part. Unless there really are no rules to follow, the unknowing are left vulnerable to fall off a cliff, wet themselves or pee in a corner before they reach a sanitary, accessible facility, or become trapped in a burning building. In your case, you’re actually worried about how you might have the tables turned on you because you thought to do the right thing by reclaiming your property. When those who are violated against become thought of as the violators, which seems to be a trend, will the people who were supposed to protect you really help? It’s sad to think you could be the guilty party for speaking up. You’ll need to pay for a consult and have a knowledgeable in-person code review, to pick up any of the numerous items you may be remiss in. The list of code requirements is much longer than you may anticipate. Good luck!

Answers to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

his year’s election results on Long Island, particularly in Nassau County, were indeed historic, when Republicans were unsuccessful in other parts of the country. I say this not just as a proud Nassau Republican, but as someone who has been a practitioner of government and politics at the town, county, state and federal levels for over a half century. I have been a local committeeman, executive leader, councilman, county comptroller, congressman, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee and a pETER Nassau County Republican vice KinG chairman, and have participated in successful and unsuccessful presidential campaigns by John McCain, George W. Bush, Rudy Giuliani and Donald Trump. I ran for state attorney general against Bob Abrams in 1986, losing by 1.2 million votes and having my own mother tell me how much Abrams helped senior citizens! In recent years, it is remarkable how much the Nassau County Republican Party has achieved under Joe Cairo’s leadership, and how far the party has come. Nassau Republicans had fallen on hard times in 2017 and 2018. The county was no longer the Republican stronghold it had been. Indeed, there were 100,000 more registered Democrats than Republicans.

Democrats held the county executive’s, district attorney’s and comptroller’s offices. For the first time ever, there was a Democratic Town of Hempstead supervisor, and Democrats controlled the Town of North Hempstead, the City of Glen Cove and the City of Long Beach. Two of three congressional seats in Nassau were held by Democrats, and Republicans had lost three State Senate seats. The reasons for this downswing included a shift in demographics — ethnic groups that had no prior allegiance to Republicans moved into the county — and a backlash against the Trump administration, abetted by a liberal media. But those were only excuses. Politics and government aren’t supposed to be easy. That’s the challenge of democracy. A political organization can’t afford to be satisfied with the status quo, and can’t continue to rely on yesterday’s methods and tactics. When he became the Republican chairman, Cairo made a point of meeting with Republican clubs and councils throughout the county. He sought out quality candidates like Anne Donnelly, a career prosecutor who would become district attorney in 2021. Cairo also reached out to newcomers, seeking the best and brightest and persuading them they were welcome to play lead roles in the party. In 2021, Mazi Filip, an Ethiopian refugee who had served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces before moving to Long Island, a mother

of seven married to a Ukrainian-born cardiologist, became the first Republican Great Neck resident ever elected to the County Legislature. Cairo went into the business community to recruit Jen DeSena, who became the first Republican to be elected North Hempstead supervisor since 1989, and was re-elected this year. The Democratic City of Glen Cove elected Pamela Panzenbeck mayor in 2021, and reversed the makeup of the City Council from 6-1 Democrat to 6-1 Republican, which it remained this year. And in Long Beach, which has an overwhelming Democrat registration edge, Republicans swept three contested City Council seats and the County Legislature seat. For the major, defining races, Cairo turned to veterans. Don Clavin, Hempstead’s longtime receiver of taxes, won back the supervisor’s office for Republicans in 2019, and then Bruce Blakeman defeated the very capable Laura Curran in 2021 to become county executive, where he has done an outstanding job. In 2022 Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin overcame the county’s Democratic registration advantage of 100,000 and received 50,000 more votes in Nassau than Gov. Kathy Hochul, while Republicans were victorious in all three congressional races and won back three State Senate seats. None of this happened by chance or just by selecting the best candidates. Cairo combined the best of the old with

he party owes a debt of gratitude to Democrats for lurching so far leftward.

the best of the new to get the Republican message to the voters. To accurately gauge existing issues and to spot others before they arose, he relied on expert pollster and consultant John McLoughlin. (Full disclosure: McLoughlin was my consultant for all 28 years I was in Congress.) While he was analyzing the issues, Cairo was re-energizing local Republican committees and clubs, making sure they were in touch with their communities and prepared to work hard from Labor Day through Election Day, making calls and distributing brochures door to door. Only the Nassau GOP could turn out more than a thousand campaign workers for a candidate on short notice. And Republicans owe a debt of gratitude to Democrats for lurching so far leftward and providing us issues such as bail reform, defunding the police, unchecked illegal migration and proposals to impose city-like housing in suburban Nassau. These were political gifts, but serious issues that affected county residents and threatened their way of life. Confronting these issues head on was consistent with Republican values and principles. Cairo made sure that all Republican candidates, officeholders and party volunteers spoke with one voice. They did, and the results have been repeated Republican victories, and what I believe are victories for Nassau County residents. Good job, Joe! Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security. Comments? pking@ liherald.com.

Who do L.I.’s congressmen really represent?

n the era of the 24/7 news cycle, it was easy to dismiss what looked like an impending federal government shutdown as the latest bit of political theater. But the political posturing in Washington is overshadowing the very real stakes of the federal budget fight for everyday Americans — including the hardworking families on Long Island who are struggling to make ends meet, and retired seniors. The debate is also revealing what’s actually sTAnLEY B. important to our local congressioBERGMAn nal representatives, all willing accomplices in a government shutdown gambit, thankfully unsuccessful, that prioritized the interests of big business and MAGA politics over their constituents. As president of the Long Island chapter of the Alliance for Retired

Americans, an organization fighting to protect the rights of seniors, Social Security and Medicare, I know what’s important to me: quality, affordable health care, a reliable safety net, and a responsible government that tries to do right by its citizens. If our congressional delegation was willing to join the House leadership in threatening to shut down the government to get their budget proposal passed, they must have thought it was important. What was in it? First of all, it would end Medicare’s ability to negotiate prescription drug prices, just weeks after the Biden administration began using this new policy to start driving down out-of-pocket costs that often force seniors like me to choose between taking life-saving medicine or keeping the lights on in our homes. The party that claims to be concerned about lowering the cost of living would do the opposite in their budget, by cutting the Inflation Reduction

Act’s insurance premium subsidies. Thanks to the act, 13 million Americans are already saving an average of $2,400 per year on health care. In New York alone, nearly 119,000 people have saved an average of $362 on monthly premiums — and those savings are expected to keep growing. In 2025, more than 1 million New Yorkers will save an average of nearly $390 thanks to the act’s annual out-of-pocket cost cap. The House Republican plan would cut $3.8 billion from the National Institutes of Health, which would stall research in cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and long Covid. It would also cut $30.7 billion in funding for Medicare and Medicaid, making it harder for subscribers to pay hospitals and doctors on time, creating financial challenges for health care providers across the country. And it would limit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ ability to oversee the safety of New York nursing homes, endangering our seniors.

don’t recall them saying anything about cutting seniors’ access to health care.

There would be cuts to the administrative budgets for Medicare and Social Security. So rather than demonstrating fiscal responsibility, our congressional representatives would hamstring the two largest safety net programs for senior citizens and create a future of bad service and long wait times for the people who need reliable delivery of their benefits the most. When Anthony D’Esposito, George Santos, Nick LaLota and Andrew Garbarino ran for Congress, I don’t recall hearing them say anything about cutting senior citizens’ access to health care in their campaign speeches. It’s time for Long Island’s congressional representatives to decide who they truly represent: their political leadership in Washington, or their constituents here on Long Island. The more than 30,000 Alliance for Retired Americans members in Long Island’s four congressional districts will be watching. And as the old political truism goes: Seniors vote! Stanley B. Bergman is president of the Long Island Chapter of the Alliance for Retired Americans.

The timeless tradition of coming together

he turkey’s in the oven, the pumpkin pie is ready to be sliced, and the television in the living room is ready for some football. Thanksgiving is here once again — a time when we can celebrate all that we’ve achieved over the past year, and the importance of family and close friends. It’s commonly believed that our modern holiday traces back to 1621, when Plymouth pilgrims gathered with members of the Wampanoag tribe to celebrate the autumn harvest. But in reality, Thanksgiving celebrations of some sort date back much further than that. In fact, the Smithsonian Institution pinpoints the first true Thanksgiving here led by non-natives on May 27, 1578, in what is now Newfoundland. That’s obviously not what is now the United States, but the Smithsonian also says that many historians believe there was a Thanksgiving feast in what is now Phippsburg, Maine, in 1607. Although it was informally celebrated by a number of states and territories in the years after that, Thanksgiving didn’t officially become a holiday until the Civil War, when President Abraham Lincoln heeded the long advocacy of magazine editor Sarah Josepha Hale and declared the fourth Thursday of every November to be a national Thanksgiving

Day. And with that, a tradition was born. Sure, it would take a number of forms through the years. But the spirit of what Thanksgiving is all about — bringing us together, despite our differences — remained intact. Those, indeed, were the sentiments shared by President Teddy Roosevelt with his son Kermit, who was away at school, highlighting how the White House observed the holiday in 1902. “Yesterday was Thanksgiving, and we all went out riding,” Roosevelt wrote. “We had a three-hours’ scamper, which was really great fun.” “We dined in the new State Dining Room,” the president continued, “and we drank the health of you and all the rest of both families that were absent. After dinner, we cleared away the table and danced. Mother looked just as pretty as a picture, and I had a lovely waltz with her.” Whether it was at the White House or right in our backyard at Sagamore Hill, Thanksgiving meant a lot to Roosevelt, in how it brought not only the country together, but families, too. “We are thankful for all that has been done for us in the past,” Roosevelt would say in a Thanksgiving proclamation two years later. “We pray that, in the future, we may

be strengthened in the unending struggle to do our duty fearlessly and honestly. With charity and goodwill. With respect for ourselves. And with love toward our fellow man.” Thanksgiving isn’t just about turkey, pumpkin pie or football. It’s more than the day before the official start of the holiday shopping season. It’s about unity. It’s about cooperation. It’s truly about love — for ourselves, our family, our neighbors. Whether we all gather in one place or our families are spread across the country — or even around the globe — use this time to be together, and enjoy doing it. The real trick, however, isn’t succeeding at doing that on Thanksgiving, but continuing it after the holiday. Into the following week. Into December. Into next year. There may be so many things we disagree on, but believe it or not, disagreement can not only bring us together, but make us stronger. All it takes is a little bit of respect — and love — for one another. And we have the chance to get it all started when we gather for turkey, pie and football on Thanksgiving. And who knows — maybe we can clear away the dinner table afterward, and, like the Roosevelts, celebrate with a little bit of waltzing.

associated with wind projects damage human health. Many opponents of Empire Wind insist that they support renewable energy. They also couch their objections to the project in green rhetoric, suggesting, for example, that they are fighting to

protect the local environment. But these outspoken activists are silent in regard to the proven negative impacts on health and climate of the Barrett fossil-fuel-burning plant on Barnum Island operated by National Grid. And while some refer disparagingly to Empire’s “foreign

letters Let’s not be quick to dismiss offshore wind farms To the Editor: In recent issues of the Herald, State Sen. Patricia Canzoneri-Fitzpatrick and Assemblyman Ari Brown have offered several reasons for opposing the Empire Wind project proposed for sites off Long Beach. Their objections include some reasonable, fact-based critiques of the project. It’s true that Equinor, the Norwegian developer of the wind farm, failed to consult fully and openly with the local communities. It’s also true that this project, like many others worldwide, is proving to be far more expensive than originally anticipated, resulting in pleas for rate increases. Empire’s enormous scale can likewise be legitimately challenged. Other claims by its opponents, however, are without merit. They contend, for example, that offshore wind turbines are somehow implicated in whale deaths. Federal and independent experts have concluded that there is no basis for such claims. Similarly, a World Health Organization analysis of a range of studies found no evidence that electromagnetic fields

efforts to establish the United Nations (freedom from fear). It fell to Rockwell to translate those abstract concepts into four scenes of everyday American life that would capture the minds and hearts of his countrymen (as well as their investments in war bonds), a task he initially thought was beyond his capabilities. History has proven him quite wrong, and those four images are among the most famous of perhaps the most famous illustrator in American history. “Freedom of Speech” depicts a blue-collar man, wearing a plaid shirt and suede jacket, standing in the crowd at a government meeting to voice his opinion. The others in the painting are well dressed, wearing ties and jackets, but they listen respectfully as this workingman speaks his mind. “Freedom of Worship,” under the title “each according to the dictates of his own conscience,” shows eight people of different faiths in a moment of prayer. One of them, his head covered and holding a religious book, is Jewish. A young woman with rosary beads represents Catholics. An older woman, praying devoutly, embodies Protestantism. It’s a tribute to religious diversity.

leTTers ownership,” no mention is made of the fact that National Grid is owned by a British multinational corporation. Barrett’s smokestacks have been belching toxins for more than 60 years. The plant currently emits about one million tons of carbon dioxide and other pollutants annually. Unlike the proposed offshore wind project, Barrett poses a longstanding and existing threat to the health of local residents and to the future sustainability of life on the Long Beach barrier island. In addition to fouling the air we breathe, National Grid wants to hike Long Islanders’ bills by hundreds of dollars a year — multiples of the increase for ratepayers that might result from building Empire Wind. It should be possible to conduct a civil discussion on how to safely meet the electricity needs of Long Beach and surrounding communities. A dialogue of this sort would consider the totality of environmental and health effects and proceed on the basis of respect for reputable scientific findings KEVIN J KELLEy Atlantic Beach

In the Middle East, whose side is the press on? To the Editor: I should be surprised that the news media is saying that Israel should ease up

“Freedom from Want” is a Thanksgiving scene in which an aproned matriarch presents a turkey to her family, three generations breaking bread together at their dining room table. The illustration represents traditional American family values: togetherness, harmony, peace and abundance. And “Freedom from Fear” shows children nestled safely in their bed, oblivious to the carnage occurring across the ocean. Their mother tucks them in, and their father holds a newspaper with a headline announcing the Nazi blitz of London, where the scene would be much different and where the lives of everyone, including innocent children, were in jeopardy. Rockwell’s illustrations, which appeared in four consecutive issues of the Saturday Evening Post, were accompanied by essays by four of the top writers of the era. Booth Tarkington, dubbed the “dean of popular American letters,” authored a piece on freedom of speech. Essayist Will Durant handled freedom of worship. Philippine immigrant Carlos Bulosan wrote about freedom from want. And novelist Stephen Vincent Benét covered freedom from fear (and, ironically, died the day it appeared in print). All are worth revisiting from a historic as well as

on Gaza, but unfortunately, I am not. The news media (in print, on television, on radio and, I suppose, on the various internet sources) is saying that in order to ease the pressure on the average Palestinian in Gaza, Israel should not continue its attack. I would like to put the situation into a context that might be a little more understandable. Based on the 2023 “World Almanac,” the United States has about 337 million people, while Israel has about 9.3 million. This means there are about 37 times as many people in the U.S. as there are in Israel. From what I’ve heard, about 1,200 people were killed in the initial attack, most of whom were women and children. Some were beheaded, whether before or after death isn’t known. Now let’s say that 5,000 drug soldiers, who want the land that was taken from Mexico in the 1840s returned to Mexico, cross the border from Mexico into San Diego, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Houston, and Brownsville and kill 44,000 people, mostly women and children, some of whom get beheaded. They then take another 4,000 to 5,000 people hostage back to Mexico. Do you suppose the United States would allow that to go without a response? There are several issues that need to be addressed in the Middle East, but when one side refuses to acknowledge the other

a modern viewpoint. But it was Rockwell’s pictures, more than the essays and perhaps more than FDR’s speech, that remain such a poignant part of Americana. As we approach Thanksgiving, it’s worthwhile to re-examine the four illustrations and ponder their meaning and message, at a time when the nation seems so terribly divided over — let’s be frank — fleeting issues that often don’t amount to a hill of beans. It often seems that half of our country is perpetually mad at the other half. Are we really that different? Are our differences really irreconcilable? I don’t think so. Actually, I think we’re much more alike than different, and I believe that as a society, we share core values that matter infinitely more than ephemeral political squabbles. Those values, captured by Rockwell, are what bind us as a nation. Let’s count our blessings, send our prayers to the suffering people of the Middle East and Ukraine, take a deep breath and maybe revisit Rockwell’s Four Freedoms — permanently on display at the Norman Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, an easy and scenic day trip from Long Island. And let’s ponder what those 80-year-old illustrations say not only about us as Americans, but also about us as human beings. A. Gail Prudenti is a partner in the law firm Burner Prudenti.

Charlotte Spiegel, 6, of East Rockaway, shares how her family makes a turkey: ‘Put it in the oven, and you put gravy on it if you want. We have to cook it. My grandma cooks the turkey. It’s in a cooking pan. It gets defrosted. Then you take it out and put it in tinfoil to keep it hot. We take the tinfoil off, and we put a piece of turkey on the plate.’ Actually, Charlotte revealed, her favorite Thanksgiving food isn’t turkey — it’s corn. side’s right to exist, there is very little wiggle room for discussion. When Hamas attacks defenseless people, it loses the right to complain when it is attacked, especially when it stores weapons and munitions in schools and hospitals. When Hamas fighters fire missiles into Israel from schools and hospitals, and then act shocked when the return fire hits those targets, they are

playing the poor-innocent-Palestinian card, and going after world sympathy. Their actions show that they do not care about the average Palestinian — their only goal is the eradication of Israel. It is a shame that the news media allows itself to be used by animals disguised as human beings. LAWRENCE F. LEVy Rockville Centre

Rockwell showed us what we have to be thankful for

n this season of gratitude, it’s appropriate to recall the “four freedoms” — freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from fear rugand freedom from want — articulated by nestPresident Franklin D. Roosevelt at the threshold of World War II and illustrated e so memorably in Norman Rockwell’s iconic works of art. rkey, Eleven months han before the attack he on Pearl Harbor, with Europe under siege and uly Congress leery of mily, getting involved in her in the war, Roosevelt d sought to remind nd the the American peor, and ple that the freeGail doms we somecceed- prudenTi times take for but granted must be the nurtured and guarded.
