Hochul pulls zoning plan amid protests By lIsA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
Two weeks after the first Nassau County-based protest against Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal to require local governments to permit accessory dwelling units, which sparked opposition in suburban communities across New York state, Hochul pulled the plan on Feb. 17 from her proposed 2022-23 executive budget on Feb. 17. Accessory dwelling units, known as ADUs, are smaller, independent residences on the same lots as single-family
homes. Many Long Islanders expressed relief at the governor’s action. “I’m not surprised it was pulled,” Malverne resident Steph Jablonsky said. “I’m all for easing restrictions that are outdated or unreasonably tough, but when you talk about legalizing basement apartments, there’s more to it than just passing legislation. Housing is important, but it has to be safe. There are a ton of unsafe basements for people to live in, and they’re illegal for a good reason.” Hochul proposed the fiveyear, $25 billion zoning plan, in

There was backlash from local representatives at nearly every level, from Rep. Tom Suozzi, who is challenging Hochul, a fellow Democrat, for the party’s gubernatorial nomination, to Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Hempstead Town Supervisor Don
Clavin, both Republicans. Considered a lower-cost alter native for young and elderly people who want to move to or stay on Long Island, a law allowing ADUs would override the zoning regulations of local municipalities such as Malverne village, and many officials feared that would create overcrowded sub-
urbs and worsen parking and traffic problems. Hochul’s plan “would have decimated the environment, the services, our schools,” Clavin said at a news conference on Feb. 18 outside the same East Meadow home where the Feb. 3 rally took place. He highlighted the Continued on page 10
Push for Malverne street name change moves forward By RoBERt tRAVERso rtraverso@liherald.com
More than 130 Malverne residents submitted potential new names for Lindner Place, the village street that community members are organizing to rename due to its connection to Paul Lindner, a major figure in the early history of Malverne and a 1920s-era leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Nassau County. Voting on the top three to five potential new names took place between Feb. 9-16, and was open to all Malverne and Lakeview residents. The Lindner Place Renaming Committee, a group comprising 33 individuals and
organizations, which was counting the votes, had also compiled the history of the street and its namesake, and garnered the support of its 11 residents. The group plans to draft a proposal for a name change and introduce it to the village board at its next meeting in March. “For the past two years, I’ve been reviewing news articles and photographs from that time period,” Jamie Bellamy, a member of the renaming committee and a resident of Woodmere, said at a village board meeting on Feb. 2, “which not only confirm Lindner’s leadership role in the KKK, but also his violent and hateful participation in the
group.” At the meeting, Mayor Keith Corbett pledged to work with residents and village trustees to come up with a new name for the street. “We’re looking forward to working together to see this through,” Corbett said. Bellamy’s research, she said, revealed that Lindner took part in “cross burnings and hateful speech designed to intimidate those who the KKK and Lindner deemed as ‘less than’ and unworthy of being an American.” Nearly two years after lifelong Malverne resident T.J. Magno created an online petition in July 2020 calling for Lindner Place’s renaming, it has gar-
nered more than 5,650 signatures. The debate over the name was reignited after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis that May 2020 and the subsequent protests around the country, including in Malverne and Lakeview. The protests brought renewed focus on statues and streets honoring those known to
have held racist views. When the Malverne School District became the first New York school district ordered to desegregate in 1966, it had three elementary schools, Woodfield Road, Davison Avenue and Lindner Place.

Todd Kaminsky will not run again
State Senator was second Democrat in two days to pass on re-election By James Bernstein jbernstein@liherald.com
State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a veteran South Shore Democrat, announced Wednesday morning he will not seek re-election this fall. Kaminsky is the second Democrat to announce plans not to run again in two days. On Tuesday, U.S. congresswoman Kathleen Rice said she will not seek reelection. “After much thought and consideration, I have decided that I will not run for re-election, or for any office this fall,” Kaminsky said in an email to the media. “It has been an honor to represent the communities of the South Shore for the past seven years, but I believe that it is the best thing for my family to pursue a new path,” Kaminsky wrote. In a telephone interview shortly after his announcement, Kaminsky said his defeat in the November election did not play any part in his decision not to seek re-election. “You have to make decisions going forward,” Kaminsky said. “After 18 years to public service, seven in the

Spreading love and kindness at WHHS West Hempstead High School students and staff wore purple to recognize “P.S. I Love You Day” on Feb. 11. This year’s theme is one step at a time. Students and staff members wrote words of encouragement on Post-it notes and placed them in the lobby near the school’s entrance. The colorful sticky notes shared messages of hope, love, empathy and compassion. According to its website, P.S. I Love You Day was named for the nonprofit organization established by sisters Brooke and Jaimie DiPalma, whose father, Joseph, committed suicide in 2010. Observers of the day wear purple in a display of solidarity for the organization’s causes, which are to take a stance against bullying and to help end depression and prevent suicide. –Annemarie Durkin

Phillips announces audit of tax reassessment By TOM CARROzzA tcarrozza@liherald.com
Nassau County Comptroller Elaine Phillips said she will begin an audit of the Department of Assessment on Feb. 15. Joined by County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who campaigned on transparency and change for the reassessment, Phillips reiterated her own promise to i n d e p e n d e n t ly investigate the reassessment process and how to improve it. The audit will be Phillips’ first as comptroller and will focus on b e t t e r u n d e rstanding the reassessment done under for mer County Executive Laura Curran in order to make chang es going forward. Phillips said that the first task will be to audit the 2021 tax roll to see the methodolElAINE ogy and process PHIllIPS that was done for Nassau County the mass appraisal. Comptroller “When you go in and do an audit, you have to keep an open mind,” Phillips said. “Depending on the information that you find, the audit could evolve.” Phillips said the audit will seek to discover whether exemptions were applied correctly and how the five-year phase in may have affected the tax roll. In March 2020, the Legislature passed the Reassessment Phase-In Act with a five-year phase in for changes to a homeowner’s assessed value from their 2019/20 market value to the 2020/21 roll. An exemption base was then to be determined by taking the increase and multiplying it by .1 percent. In the first year of the reassessment, 80 percent of the exemption base was to be subtracted from a homeowner’s total assessment.

COUNTY ExECUTIVE BRUCE Blakeman (center) promised to keep his office and the Legislature out of the audit process. Each year the percentage was to drop by 20 percent until the new values were fully implemented in 2024/25. Blakeman said that he has found identical properties in places like Massapequa where one home was assessed at 40 percent more than the other. “My predecessor engaged in a reassessment that wasn’t transparent and wasn’t done in a way that was fair to all the residents of Nassau County,” he said. “And because it wasn’t transparent, we still don’t know everything that went wrong.” Blakeman said that the information that comes from Phillips’ reports will be relied upon heavily for a decision-making process. He also said that the county executive’s office and the Legislature will have no input, which will enable Phillips to have an independent review. Legislator Steve Rhoads, the chair of the new legislative committee for assessments, was also in attendance with vice chair Legislator John Ferretti. “What we wanted as a legislative majority was a process that was fair, that was accurate, and that was transparent,” Rhoads said. “Unfortunately, what we received of the course of the last four years was anything but.” Rhoads decried a lack of transparency during Curran’s administration which saw many homeowners sue to find out

Phillips cautioned that this audit would take time, as the audit of the assessment review commission was published in December 2021 after three and a half years. She plans to have her department publish a report after they complete their review of the 2021 tax roll but could not give a timetable yet as to when. “I’m committed to transparency,” Phillips said. “I have my slogan that I am the independent protector of our taxpayers and I promise the people of Nassau County that I will live up to that.”

In 1966, the Malverne school district became the first NY district ordered to desegregate. A TOH-sponsored tax forum was attended by Jodie Marinello of West Hempstead on Jan. 28. W.H. received its name from being west of the Long Island Railroad Hempstead station. Paul Lindner, a major figure in the early history of Malverne, was a member of the KKK. After World War I, a major issue in Malverne was whether or not to become a village.
Electeds rejoice in ADU victory over Hochul mwilson@liherald.com
Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled a proposal intended to allow single-family homeowners to more easily rent out rooms and basements from her state budget, putting an end — at least for now — the controversial proposal that met with considerable opposition from local leaders. Those same leaders gathered outside an East Meadow home last Friday to celebrate the governor’s decision. Raheel Ahmad, who lives on the same street, told reporters he’s grateful housing on Long Island — where he relocated his family from Brooklyn six years ago — will stay the same. “It feels amazing,” Ahmad said. “This is why I moved here. I’m thankful for the elected officials who raised up for the residents and got a victory for us.” Hochul’s proposal would have allowed for the creation of “accessory dwelling units” — basements, attics, garages and the like which could be renovated and turned into a separate apartment unit. Hochul included ADUs as part of a broader $25 billion, five-year plan that was part of an effort to preserve up to 100,000 affordable homes across the state. “In the wake of the pandemic, it’s crucial that we tackle the housing crisis and make New York a more affordable place for all,” Hochul said at the time. Hochul wanted to require municipali-

Kathy Hochul taking the single-family zoning proposal — which would have potentially allowed owners of single-family homes to rent out spare rooms and basements — out of the state budget. ties to allow at least one ADU on owneroccupied residentially zoned lots, leaving details like size requirements and safety standards to individual local governments. It also would have created an amnesty program in New York City to allow for existing ADUs — where such a practice already is prominent — to be made legal. Yet, Hochul’s plan has been widely criticized, especially locally, where officials claimed it would put a strain on Long Island resources — and be an end to suburbia. Thousands signed online petitions
against the proposal, according to Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin. “The biggest investment in someone’s life is buying a house in the suburbs,” he said. “The governor’s attempt by throwing this in the budget to eliminate single housing is wrong.” Hochul’s plan would have removed “home rule,” Clavin added, meaning local governments could not determine zoning based on the character of the community and the wishes of those who live and work around it. Zoning provisions are already in place
intended to provide accessory apartments for senior citizens, and for parents looking to provide their adult children some independence, while still keeping them close to home. County legislator Tom McKevitt is the one who says he found the ADU proposal buried deep inside the 5,000-page budget. The opposition organized on Long Island is something he described as a great example of people at all levels of government coming together to preserve their quality of life. “We’re putting forth the word to the governor and to state representatives, ‘Do not try this again,’” McKevitt said. “’Do not put it in there. We’re going to be watching and protecting our communities.’” Although the governor has the state constitutional power to add policy to the budget process without much legislative oversight, Hochul’s attempt to add ADUs to the state through that process says all Town Councilman Chris Carini needs to know about the strength of the proposal. “This bill could not pass on its merits as a standalone bill and was hidden in the budget to force its passage,” Carini said, in a statement. “This was the same tactic used to pass bail reform. I was proud to join with other local officials to expose this smash and grab of our local zoning.” Brendan Carpenter contributed to this article.

Renaming committee to introduce proposal School when Lindner’s connections to the KKK were unearthed in the late 20th century. A book written by Richard Winsche, an author who detailed the history of Nassau County in numerous works, claims that Lindner, who bore the title of Exalted Cyclops of the Nassau County chapter of the KKK, spoke at a gathering of 10,000 Klan members in Freeport on Sept. 22, 1924. Winsche also writes that Lindner held the title of Great Titan of the New York State Klan. A New York Times article published in September 1924 identified him as the leader of a Klan procession at a funeral. Demonstrations and activities he led attracted thousands of Long Islanders when the organization worked to spread fear among the populations it targeted, much like its southern counterparts. Born to German immigrants in 1877, Lindner also played a large role in the village’s development. He ran a successful farm, and owned the land where Grace Lutheran Church is today as well as other acreage. He sold most of the land that was purchased by the Amsterdam Development Co. to create what would become the Village of Malverne. He also served as president of the Malverne Bank from 1926 to 1931, becoming a respected figure in the community despite his open affiliation with the KKK. “People wanted him to run for what was

The June 2020 petition acknowledges that some residents fear “renaming would erase the contributions Lindner made to the community.” Lori Lang, a member of the renaming committee who ran for mayor in 2019, said that the street-renaming effort is a stand-alone issue and not part of “cancel culture” or a larger effort to erase the history of Malverne.
Lang, a lifelong resident, stressed that she never witnessed racism in the village, and said that the renaming is an effort to show that residents do not tolerate hate. She previously told the Herald that a strong case for renaming the street includes what is nearby. “This street name is even more egregious because an elementary school sits on it — a school that educates kindergarten through second-graders each and every day,” Lang said of the Downing School. And of the March village board meeting, speaking on behalf of the renaming committee, she added, “We are currently asking all residents who support the effort to attend, and if they are unable to,

Everyone has a story
I My Community
I listen intently to many stories, helping people of all ages and walks of life as they struggle with challenging issues in their lives. Roger has been laid off from his company after being a loyal worker for nineteen years. He’s highly anxious about how and when he’ll obtain another position. Emily is feeling bored and restless. Her kids are almost grown and she’s looking for something interesting to do but has no idea what that could be. Jacob is angry and resentful. He knows he has to confront his wife about what’s been bothering him, yet he keeps putting it off, fearing her reaction. Mike desperately wants to overcome his shyness, which makes it difficult for him to make friends or ask anyone out on a date. Ashley is a psychologist who wants to start her own business but hasn’t mustered up the courage to take inda the leap. Each of these individuals is experiencing discomfort and anxiety. I work with them to find ways to lower the intensity of these feelings. To their surprise, I often suggest that they might feel thankful for the conflict in their lives. “What are you talking about,” is the typical response I get! “Well,” I respond, “imagine a life without conflict. What kind of story would that be?” “She woke up to the sun shining. It was a lovely day. Everything worked out just right. No troubles at all. At day’s end, she lay her head on the pillow and fell into a tranquil sleep.” “He arose to a beautiful day with nothing challenging to do. A day, like all other days, to take it easy and do nothing that creates any angst.” Good for a fairy tale, perhaps. Not good for real life. Even if a life like this could exist, wouldn’t a person sooner or later get bored, feeling like Brittany, who wonders why she’s unhappy when she has everything one could want in life? Yes, everyone has a story! Except maybe for meddlers whose own lives are so dull, they sink their teeth, energy, and admonitions into other people’s stories. Feel sorry for these folks and be grateful that your life generates stories

that empower you to master challenges and conflicts. That’s how we grow! We don’t grow minding other people’s business. Even if the story unfolding in your life is something you wouldn’t wish upon yourself, pay attention to it. It’s yours. You will be challenged to address day-to-day tensions, fears, and conflicts without collapsing or losing faith in yourself. Remember, you’re growing, learning, developing. You’re becoming stronger and wiser as you confront your struggles, not avoid them. Now let’s take another look at Roger’s story. Not only did he need to deal with losing his job, he also had to deal with feelings of vulnerability, helplessness, c o n f u s i o n , d e p re s s i o n , anger, resentment, rejection. He admitted that he had to work hard not to freeze up or shut down or close out the world around him. He knew he must hold on to apadin the belief that “I’ll be able to handle this. Maybe not right away. Maybe not with grace. Maybe not without the help of others. But I will handle it.” His life’s journey has continued. He’s gotten a new job. Not the best job, hence, he’s still looking, considering returning to school for an advanced degree. His story is still unfolding. His struggles have made him stronger. He’s smiling these days. He’s given himself credit for handling challenges he never thought he could! Those rare folks with no conflicts in their lives don’t develop this inner strength. In contrast those who take on challenging conflicts, whether out of choice or not, emerge with strength of character. They build their self-muscle! So, dear reader, as strange as it may seem, I ask you to consider being grateful for the trials and troubles you’re facing in your life!

Nassau CouNty ExECutivE Bruce Blakeman, left, Emmy Award winner Susan Lucci, and Dr. Richard Schlofmitz, cardiology chairman at Catholic Health St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center, recognized February as Heart Health Month. soap opEra aCtrEss Susan Lucci, left, and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman discuss the importance of heart health on Thursday outside the Nassau County Legislative and Executive Building.
Actress Susan Lucci advocates Heart Health Month By LEtisha Dass ldass@liherald.com
Adorned in red, Emmy Award winning actress Susan Lucci, a Garden City resident, stood beside Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Dr. Richard Schlofmitz, the chairman of cardiology at Catholic Health St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center, to bring awareness of February as American Heart Health Month at the Nassau County Legislative and Executive Building in Garden City on Thursday. “I have learned, since being the national ambassador for the American Heart Association Go Red for Women Movement, is that heart disease is the number one killer of women more than all cancers put together,” said Lucci. “It kills one in three women every year. It kills one woman every 80 seconds.” Blakeman announced that the dome of the county’s building will be lit red on Thursday night to symbolize the importance of heart health. “Heart disease is the leading killer in
Nassau County and while that is alarming, according to the state, we have one of the lowest percentages by population in the state of deaths from heart disease,” Blakeman said. “However, that’s no reason to be complacent.” Like many before her, Lucci had ignored her symptoms of possible heart related complications until she had to be rushed into the emergency room at St. Francis Hospital and Heart Center in Rosyln where Dr. Schlofmitz was her doctor in 2018. She had a blockage of her arteries and had to have surgery to place stents. “Many people when they have problems with their hearts keep it to themselves and Susan was brave enough to come out and talk about her history and symptoms, not once but twice,” Dr. Schlofmitz said. “If anybody has symptoms see your doctor. Get checked out.” Last year, Lucci underwent a second procedure after she recognized the symptoms again. “You need to be diligent and keep working on this your whole life,” Dr. Schlofmitz said.

Q. Our house is large and very old, with a third story that was partially finished before purchase. We finished the rest of the attic and put in a few bedrooms and a bath. Recently we hired an architect to enlarge our kitchen into our backyard and make a nice entrance to a porch and patio with a fireplace. The architect made the plans, after several meetings, changes, etc., and then put them into our building department to pull a permit. We next got a notice that our attic is in violation, and we had to either take out all the finishes and bathroom or file plans to get a state permit. Ask The None of this has anything to do with the kitchen Architect or patio, which we hoped to have by summer. We suspect our architect made this much more complicated for us, but now we can’t undo what he did. Naturally, he gets more money to do more plans and permits, which we also think is rather sneaky and uncalled for. Can we report onte eeper the architect for doing this to us, and can we pull back the permit so we can make all this go away and just do our kitchen?

A. So you believe everyone is out to get you, including your architect, and you have the right to “pull back” your permit, ignoring the conditions of your house. It doesn’t work that way. Unfortunately, even though most local governments know that most homes have violations, the governments choose not to prosecute every homeowner, since it would be bad for the business of getting re-elected, so code violations go on without a word until you make the first move, which you did, by coming to the attention of the building officials whose job is public safety. Every day of the week, people ask if we can’t just look the other way. We absolutely can look the other way, but eventually who will believe us for lying or not doing our job? The issues of your home easily come up by simply bringing up satellite images, on-line accessible documents, including tax department records, showing what is in the home and whether the third floor was finished. Your building official doesn’t need the architect or you to figure out the truth about the illegalities in your home. When your architect shows the actual conditions, which he is required to do, including walls removed, walls finished in rooms that the building department has no previous record of, or other changes, he’s only doing his job. Imagine the scrutiny an architect would receive if a building official walked in to check the conditions and discovered that you and the architect had lied. I have stated in this column, many times, the statistic that only five people out of 100 will survive a fire on the third floor. Ninety-five people will die of smoke inhalation or burns. So do the right thing and follow through, whichever way you choose. I’m pulling for you.

merica has had many political dynasties over the past 75 years. I recall the Browns in California and the Landrieu family in Louisiana. There are many others, but none can compare to the Kennedy family and the dominant role it has played in our nation’s history. Sadly, almost all of the well-known Kennedys are gone, with the exception of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his legacy has taken a dark turn from that of the rest of his famous family. The Kennedys jERRy were known as activists who supKREmER ported important causes, from the Special Olympics to health care for all. With his name, the son of the late Sen. Bobby Kennedy, who represented New York, could have gotten involved in dozens of worthwhile efforts that would be a continuation of decades of family good deeds. But instead, RFK Jr. has become the hero of the anti-vac-
H
cine movement, which is both puzzling and surprising. He travels around the country, spreading his gospel that vaccinations are a threat to your health. According to The Boston Globe, Kennedy preaches, “the COVID vaccine is dangerous for your children.” He claims it is “criminal malpractice to give a child one of these vaccines.” He has also called the Covid jab “one of the deadliest vaccines ever made.” And his fixation with vaccines isn’t limited to those created for the coronavirus. He argues, without proof, that vaccines in general are linked to autism, food allergies and a host of other medical problems. For many years he asserted that the inoculations for measles, mumps and rubella caused autism and other neurological disorders, and according to the Associated Press, he claims that public health officials “knowingly allowed the pharmaceutical industry to poison an entire generation of American children.” Kennedy is the darling of anti-vax
T
groups all over the country, and is welcomed into the homes of the wealthy and influential, where he rails against the shots with no medical backup for virtually anything he says. He claims he is doing this as a public service, but his anti-vaccine foundation, Children’s Health Defense, recently reported more than $6.8 million on hand. Kennedy states that there is no profit motive for his antvaccine activity. When asked if he was being paid for his efforts, Kennedy told Fox’s Tucker Carlson, “I am getting unpaid for this.” But records show that in 2019, he earned $255,000 from the foundation. Kennedy has used social media to spread his opinions, and has spent big dollars to back them up. His nonprofit is one of two buyers accounting for 54 percent of anti-vaccine content on Facebook. He has a large following on Facebook and Twitter, but his Instagram account was removed last year for “repeatedly sharing debunked claims about Covid vaccines.” To add to the strangeness of Kenne-
he son of a legendary New York senator busily spreads misinformation.
dy’s crusade, his 2021 book “The Real Anthony Fauci” promotes unproven Covid-19 treatments such as ivermectin, which is meant to treat parasites in animals, and the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine, and he claims that the current vaccines have never been safety tested, even though the Food and Drug Administration requires three phases of testing that involves thousands of people before a childhood vaccine is approved. There is no shortage of stories about concerned parents who believe that all vaccinations are suspicious or dangerous. I do not challenge their beliefs. But considering the many positive paths that so many Kennedy family members have taken over the years, the one that RFK Jr. has taken is a disturbing one. He is a true believer in his misguided cause, but he bears no resemblance to his legendary late father. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.
1950s sci-fi horror story still burns bright
ow did he know? How did Ray Bradbury know in 1951 that the tiny black and white televisions popping up in everyone’s living room had the potential to alter human experience? How did Bradbury, who died at age 91 in 2012, know that the little screens would lead to big screens that would eventually possess children’s minds in a way books could not? How did he foresee that people would stuff their heads with the cerebral equivalent of cotRANDI ton candy and KREISS abandon intellectual pursuits for lives devoted to video games? Bradbury was a visionary. He prophesied that many new inventions had the potential to threaten civilized life. What he saw as science “fiction” has come to pass. We are living amid modern advances that have ironically set us back as a people in pursuit of enlightenment and knowledge. We live in an era when the great works of literature are reduced to and diluted into mini-works and summaries, Cliff Notes and comic books.
I urge you and your teenagers to read “Fahrenheit 451,” Bradbury’s 1951 novel that warned the world that it was moving inexorably toward a time of more technology and less humanity, more autocracy, and less freedom of thought. He described a time when fringe groups of fanatics would dominate by using invasive surveillance and harsh laws to squelch any resistance. He never mentioned QAnon, but he knew it was coming. Reading “Fahrenheit 451” today, in the time of alternate facts, false flags, big lies and other threats to our democracy, has left me shaken. Bradbury set the book in a city of the future, but he was writing during the time of the McCarthy hearings, the Red Scare, emerging nuclear weapons and increased government intrusion into the private lives of citizens. He wrote a what-if tale of how a civilized people could lose their freedom by following false gods that pander to their darkest impulses. Seventy years ago he was writing about now, about selfserving political operatives and fake news and pseudo-patriots who tear down the scaffolding that holds up American democracy. “Fahrenheit 451” is a short novel
S
about a future in which firefighters are tasked with burning books and the houses of people who hide them. When a woman stands defiantly in her doorway with her book in hand, they burn her, too. Books are banned because they “confuse” people with their ideas. Much of the population is beaten into acceptance of the new normal, with information and entertainment blaring at them from wall screens all day. No one walks outside. Everyone is suspect. It is a thriller about one man, Montag, a fireman who experiences a sudden awakening to the horrors he has perpetrated. His wife, a survivor of multiple suicide attempts, is addicted to the virtual world projected from the screens in her house. She and her friends are inured to authentic feeling, even within themselves. Montag goes on the run, with firemen in pursuit. Eventually he joins up with a rogue band of men — former professors and thinkers, now wanderers in the wilderness, each with large sections of books memorized for posterity. Bradbury’s hero wears a “sea clam shell” in his ear that presages the AirPod. Montag stops on the street to get money from a machine that didn’t exist
eventy years ago, Ray Bradbury was presciently writing about now.
in the 1950s. Overhead, supersonic aircraft drop bombs on cities. They are unmanned drones, much like the ones our government is using to assassinate terrorists thousands of miles away. He explores the risks of free thinking in a time of crushing conformity. In the world of “Fahrenheit 451” there is no privacy, no awareness of nature, simply the elevation of technology and the diminution of humanity. Why does Montag go rogue? What makes him realize that freedom of thought is worth dying for? His last job with the firemen is to burn down the house of a woman who is hiding books. When they arrive with their trucks and flame-throwers, she is standing in the doorway with a book in her hand, and she strikes the first match, killing herself as the house explodes around her. People will die for their books, Montag realizes. It’s something to think about when we read headlines every day about book bans and censorship of treasured literature. It’s something to act on when we see children who watch but don’t read in a time in America when only 25 percent of the population reads a book a year. Bradbury knew we need books to tell the story of ourselves and pass that story on to future generations. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Redistricting is a process designed to fail
n chess, you can’t control the game unless you control the board. The same can be said about politics, and since the early days of the republic, state legislatures have had virtually complete control of the congressional and legislative redistricting process. After each census, states are required to draw new district boundary lines — a controversial process that far too often is steeped in partisanship. In fact, New York state lawmakers just approved those lines in recent weeks, making a number of changes, felt primarily when it comes to who represents us where in Congress. Nothing about redistricting is popular — especially when population declines force the Legislature to remove congressional districts completely, as New York had to do this year. That’s why then Gov. Andrew Cuomo introduced in 2011 what would eventually become a state constitutional amendment removing redistricting powers from the Legislature — which drew district boundaries for itself — and putting it in the hands of an “independent” commission.
We use “independent” ironically because it really wasn’t. The majority and minority parties in the Legislature each appointed four members, and those eight members chose two more people who were not registered members of either party. This commission held hearings and then drew new district late last year. What its members couldn’t do was come to a consensus. Without what would essentially be a bipartisan agreement, the entire process was thrown back to the very Legislature that held the power to draw the maps in the first place. Even if the commission had somehow found a way to agree on a final set of maps, it still required approval from the Legislature. Even in that scenario, the Legislature would only need to reject the maps drawn by the commission twice before it regained its original power to draw the maps its members chose. It’s like buying your wife a bowling ball for your anniversary, with the finger holes drilled to fit your own grip. Did anyone really believe that an inde-
pendent commission could craft district maps on its own that the State Legislature would actually approve? The odds were stacked against the panel from the very start, creating not an independent commission, but simply the appearance of one, while the process of drawing maps remained the same as it has been for the past couple of centuries. Gerrymandering is an age-old problem, and it’s hard not to look at some of the new districts — like the stretching of U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi’s congressional district from northern Nassau County straight up past Little Neck Bay, and west to the East River and into Westchester County — and not see highly creative boundary drawing. Yet we can’t seem to get out of our own way to prevent it. A slight shift of a district line here, and a tuck there, can be the difference between true representation and an electorate skewed to support an elite few. Representation is the very essence of democracy. But if we’re not drawing district lines fairly, are we truly represented?

letters Will train platform barriers work? To the Editor: In his letter “Rail Lines Need Barriers” (Feb. 10-16), Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan pointed out a need for barriers on various railroad platforms. What he did not address, however, is how barriers would affect traffic on those platforms. First, if barriers are installed, there will be significantly less space on the platforms, which means that fewer people will have access to them. Second, while the technology exists to make the trains stop at the exact location so that their doors will open at the openings of the platfor m doors, that will require that all trains be the same length, no matter what the requirements for travel may be. Should the two sets of doors not match up exactly (within an allowable tolerance of about 18 inches) the passengers may not be able to detrain. Similarly, if the platform doors open and the train doors don’t, there will also be a lot of unhappy people.
There is no easy solution to this problem. Many people want immediate solutions, but in the real world, that doesn’t happen. And when action is taken, there are always unanticipated side effects that in some cases are worse than the original problem. LAWRENCE LEvY Rockville Centre

W
hile the state’s election districts were recently redrawn — gerrymandered — by a progressive-Democratic majority in the State Legislature for the purpose of favoring their party, gerrymandering is not a particularly new political weapon. Those on both sides of the aisle have used their power to redraw district lines, depending on who holds the majority. The practice goes back to the 1800s, but this year’s redrawing by is unprecedented, ronaLd j. and comes at a when the rosenberg time self-proclaimed progressives’ larger political agenda ranges from defunding police to “bail reform” to demonizing the successful entrepreneur, i.e., capitalism. As U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi pursues his gubernatorial primary quest, his former 3rd Congressional District is now unrecognizable. The progressive gerrymander has recreated his congressional borders into what they now humorously call the Long Island Sound District. It now stretches from Smithtown in Suffolk County, along the lightly populated North Shore, into the densely populated Bronx, and ends in Democratic West-
chester County. While several Long Island Democrats have announced their intentions to run for Suozzi’s vacated seat, they will face a growing number of New York City-based progressives who see their population density and massive Democratic enrollment in the city and its environs as bulletproof at the ballot box. The numbers speak for themselves. The Village of Northport, part of the new 3rd C.D., has some 8,000 residents. The City of New Rochelle, in Westchester, which is also part of the new district, has some 80,000. Now consider who is lining up to run in the 3rd District so far: Bronx State Senator Alessandra Biaggi, who defeated moderate Democrat Jeff Klein a number of years ago. In a December tweet, Democratic Socialist Congresswoman Alexandria OcasioCortez had nothing but praise for Biaggi. Also in the running is Melanie D’Arrigo, a self-described progressive who has been endorsed by former New York City Council Speaker Melissa MarkViverito, a city pol who once co-chaired the City Council’s Progressive Caucus. So these are the extremist candidates who stand a very good chance of assuming control of a new district designed to remove the potential of not just a Republican winning the seat, but of Long

Islanders having any representation focused on Long Island issues. The implications have not gone unnoticed. Great Neck-based Democratic primary hopeful Robert Zimmerman is now warning Democrats and Republicans that he is the political firewall that could prevent a progressive from representing the new district. As he raises money for the primary, Zimmerman is reciting a list of moderate, centrist Long Island Democrats who now support his effort. His strategy is that of a seasoned professional, leveraging his public relations experience to focus his message, which is, essentially, “I am your last best hope to confront this city theft.” Of course, that presumes the Republican Party won’t field a candidate who can confront and defeat whoever the Democrats nominate in this now unrecognizable district. But the reality is that the tortured borders of the 3rd are a calculated move by New York City-based progressives to dismantle Nassau and Suffolk counties’ ability to project political cohesion and regional advocacy. If successful, they will have effectively eliminated any chance that the Long Island congressional delegation will be a powerful force in the House of Representatives. Consider what that means.

Lost in thought? — Jones Beach
Bronx progressive/Socialist Democrat really work with a Long Island Republican to redress the loss of South Shore beachfront in a nor’easter? Will a Bronx progressive care about environmental damage along Smithtown’s coastline? Will a Bronx Progressive fight for infrastructure money for the Long Island Expressway? Because, after all, shouldn’t we all be punished for not using electric vehicles? And by the way, many constituents of this new Long Island Sound District have median incomes that progressives will find worthy of their most pungent demagoguery, because capitalism is an anathema to their political ideology. This ambush of Long Island by these progressives reveals a smug disdain for suburbia, its values, its people and its needs. To counter it, Long Island voters must recognize that we have been robbed of our voice in Congress. It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Republican, Democrat, liberal or conservative. As a bicounty region, we have been mugged by those who cynically intend to walk off with one of our congressional seats. The answer is to recognize the ploy and respond appropriately on Election Day 2022. Ronald J.
