BRIAN SAPHIRE WELCOMED his daughter, Bailey Grace, eight months ago, before his diagnosis.

Malverne firefighter battling rare form of brain cancer By ANNEMARIE DURKIN adurkin@liherald.com

One firefighter’s life was forever changed on Nov. 24 when doctors removed a brain tumor, later diagnosing him with Stage 4 glioblastoma, an aggressive cancer affecting the brain or spine. Doctors discovered a rare brain tumor in the pineal region of Brian Saphire’s brain during an emergency room visit for a severe migraine in October. He was

sent into emergency, life-saving surgery to drain spinal fluid that had built up in his brain. A month later, he had surgery to remove as much of the tumor as possible. “This news has been absolutely devastating on our family,” Meghan Saphire, Brian’s sister, said. “Brian still remains in good spirits as he begins his chemotherapy journey and is committed to fighting his hardest for his wife and daughter.” The pineal gland is in the

center of the brain, and tumors in this region are extremely rare, detected in only 80 or so adults each year. Saphire will undergo chemotherapy treatments over the next six months to shrink whatever is left of the tumor after his surgery. While the location of the tumor is extremely uncommon, glioblastoma itself is the most common and most aggressive kind of brain CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

JCC offers lifeline for Alzheimer’s patients

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — December 9, 2021

By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

To start his workout at the Friedberg Jewish Community Center in Oceanside, Armand Lindenbaum, 83, pedals three miles on a stationary bike, something that he did not have the stamina to do a few months ago. In 2013, Armand was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, which leads to severe memory loss. As the disease worsens, those suffering from it might forget who they are and who their family members are. It can even affect one’s motor skills, crippling the ability to move. Armand began training at the JCC in 2019, and four months ago with JCC personal trainer Rocco Perrotta. Since then, Perrotta said he has seen incredible improvement in Armand’s physical and cognitive health. “I tried to envision what he needed a few months ago,” Perrotta said. “He didn’t communicate well, but now he will read signs on the walls. His reflexes have improved phenomenally. His motor skills have improved significantly.” After a warm-up, Armand performs strength exercises using resistance training. “I also like to include tasks to help Armand with his reflexes and hand-eye coordination, as well,” explained Perrotta. “Armand is also communicating better.” “In the beginning, Armand wouldn’t and actually couldn’t respond well to basic questions like, ‘How are you feeling today?’ He would have a blank stare and not respond. Lately, though, Armand is responding to a variety of questions, plus his verbal skills have increased, and even verbalizes questions of his own. Armand has become more alert and more aware of his environment. He seems to have more focus on both people and objects within his surroundings. There are many times Armand will take notice, and is able to read some of the signs that hang on the fitness center.” Many in the JCC have started to notice that Armand is trending in a positive direction. “He’s terrific.” said one woman, observing Armand’s workout with Perrotta. “I’ve been watching him for, I don’t know how long, and he’s come so far. It’s really something.” Armand’s caretaker, Michael Alunan, discussed the activities that he does with Armand to keep him engaged. “His attention span is very short, so I have to keep him moving with a lot of different things,” Alunan said. “We play Legos and do coloring books to keep Ar mand engaged. We play ping-pong, dance, listen to music, anything that he’s interested in,” Alunan said. Armand and Alunan also play miniature golf together. Over time, however, Alunan began to notice Armand’s conditioning decline. “We would play ping-pong every day, and I noticed he was getting tired quicker and quicker after about five minutes.” Enter his new training regimen. Armands’ wife, Jean Lindenbaum, 75, has seen a huge improvement in his overall health and condition. “There’s no question that he has become more alert,’’ Jean said. “Since he started to work with

ONE OF THE reflex exercises that Armand does involves tossing a ball with Perrotta. Rocco, he’s more talkative, he’s more aware. All this is unbelievable.” Armand was a member of the City Athletic Club in New York City. He played squash four times a week in the season, volleyball and, when he was younger, basketball. Jean also discussed how Armand was a terrific skier and skied until four years ago, but he had to stop because of concerns his family had about his balance. Jean found out about Armand’s disease when he went into a clinical trial. It was discovered that Armand had a risk gene associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Armand’s mother had Alzheimer’s, and his sister, who is 89, has dementia. “They say Alzheimer’s is there 20 or 30 years before diagnosis. I think he had it way before he was diagnosed” Jean said. “He stopped doing the exercises that he did religiously. I didn’t realize that he didn’t remember to do them.” Jean and Armand met and started dating when she was 18 and Armand was 26. As well as being an active athlete, when Armand was younger, and before he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, he worked in real estate and was an active investor. When Jean and Alunan found out about the JCC, they believed it was the perfect place for Armand to exercise. Jean and Armand lived in New York City, but moved to their summer home on the island for the ease of commute to be able to access certain programs that Armand needed and the JCC dementia program. Pam Jaffe, the JCC’s director of dementia programs, said, “Our day program gives care partners a break and allows for a day of stimulation. We have days for people who are in the early stage and those who are more moderate like Armand. We come together for activities like music, art, chair yoga and tai chi. We partner with others like the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook for a program geared specifically for people living with dementia. It’s an enriching day, and people can come together.”

Fourth Battalion raises $16,500 for burn victims By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com

The Fourth Battalion Fire District raised $16,500 for the Burn Center Foundation, a nonprofit organization that aims to advance burn care and treatment, research, prevention and education for New York firefighters. The Fourth Battalion, which comprises the East Rockaway, Lakeview, Lynbrook, Malverne and Rockville Centre fire departments, raises money each year for a charitable cause. This year’s fundraiser, held at Rockville Centre’s Alert Engine 2 quarters, was in memory of Rockville Centre FD Ex-Chief Charlie Jaeger and East Rockaway FD Ex-Chief Thomas Harding and led to the donation of $16,500 to the Burn Center Foundation. “It’s a very rewarding thing. We know that what we do will go back to help not only residents of Nassau County but also our own people who have been hurt,” said Kevin Bien, treasurer of the battalion. “It’s a cause near and dear to our heart,” he added. Last year, the Fourth Battalion hosted a food drive to help provide goods for the food pantry at the Wounded Warrior Battalion at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. On Dec. 3, the battalion made this trip again, leaving at 5 a.m. to visit wounded troops in Virginia and provide them with donated goods. “As crazy as the world’s been lately, nice to do things we’ve done in the past,”

FOURTH BATTALION CHAIRMAN Mark Murray of the Rockville Centre Dire Department presented a check to Barry Scheu, Burn Center Foundation trustee. Bien continued. “We came back stronger than ever,” he added, alluding to a change in pace in donations during 2020 due to restrictions amid the coronavirus pandemic. Each year for the past 16 years, Nassau County firefighters traveled to military hospitals and wounded warrior battalions at military installations on the east coast of the U.S. to donate goods to wounded soldiers and their children.

“A lot of people think you’re in the military everything’s taken care of, it’s not that way,” Bien said. “Like everyone else

in America, it’s hard to make ends meet. With all they’ve sacrificed for this great nation it’s the least we can do,” he added.

CAPTION FOR THIS picture goes in this space please caption for this picture goes in this space please purpose in life. We’re here to try to make things better for all mankind.” Glatt also said the event served as an important moment of visibility for Judaism in the country, as anti-Semitic crimes rise. According to an October report from the American Jewish Committee, one in four American Jews say they have been targets of antiSemitism and four in 10 say they have changed their behavior out of fear. Sharing the stage with U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer and the country’s first second gentleman, Douglas Emhoff, who is Jewish, Glatt said he was full of patrio-

tism and gratitude for living in America. “Coming from a background where both of my parents were Holocaust survivors and their families were wiped out by cruel governments, living in the United States is the polar opposite, and it’s something we should celebrate and thank God for,” Glatt said. Glatt has chaired the Department of Medicine since 2015 and has been a board-certified physician in infectious diseases for the past 33 years. Previously, Glatt was the executive vice president and chief administrative officer at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre and president and CEO at St. Joseph Hospital in Bethpage.

Last Wednesday evening, Dr. Aaron Glatt, chief of infectious diseases at Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside, helped light the fourth candle of the Hanukkah menorah at the White House as thanks and recognition for his work during the coronavirus pandemic. Glatt got the call from the president’s liaison to the Jewish People, Chanan Weissman, extending the invitation on Thanksgiving. During a private meeting with the Biden and Kamala Harris and their spouses, Glatt blessed Biden, who put his arm around the doctor, who is also a rabbi, and thanked him for the honor. During the ceremony, Biden lauded Glatt as a “champion of encouraging his congregants in his community to get vaccinated.” Glatt serves as an associate rabbi at Young Israel of Woodmere and lives in the community with his wife of 41 years. “The torah tells us that we’re obligated to try and protect all people and keep ourselves as well as our society healthy,” Glatt said. “This is why the message to try and do proper public health actions is such an important message from a religious point of view.” Despite the personal praise from the president, Glatt said that his being there was about thanking health-care workers across the country for risking their own health during this long pandemic. He also spoke about how his faith, which was lifted up at the White House, has guided him during the past two years. “I don’t think I would be able to get through [the pandemic] without faith,” Glatt told the Herald. “Faith is a wonderful way for people to deal with these types of tragedies, knowing that there is a God and a greater

ROCKVILLE CENTRE NATIVE and comedian Chrissie Mayr will release her comedy album on Jan. 6. comedy.” Mayr said that she wants to spread the message that it is okay to laugh at potentially controversial topics and it is not a reflection of a person’s values or morals. She noted that she hopes that her album will spread that message and create laughter during a tenuous time. Her goal, she added, is to bring some levity to people during a difficult time. Leading up to the recording of the album, Mayr will continue her national tour, headlining at different comedy clubs across the country. She said that she has enjoyed her tour even more after not having the ability to travel to different venues during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. “People really do want to get out and laugh again and just get out of their houses and put something on other than sweatpants,” she said. “You can definitely feel when you’re on stage that all these audiences really do want to laugh and have a good time.” Mayr is also the host of two different podcasts: “Chrissie Mayr Podcast” and “The Wet Spot” on Compound Media. More information on how to listen to her podcasts, get tickets to a show or listen to her upcoming album can be found at chrissiemayr.com.

Rockville Centre native and comedian Chrissie Mayr will soon return to Long Island to record her debut comedy album after making appearances on NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” and Fox’s “Laughs” and “The Wendy Williams Show.” “I’m really excited to be shooting this special on Long Island,” Mayr said. “It’s very meaningful because it’s where I’m from, it’s where I grew up and it is where I took my very first stand-up comedy class.” Mayr took her first comedy class from Judy Carter, a comedian who wrote the “Comedy Bible”, in 2006 at Governor’s Comedy Club. Just a few years later in 2010, Mayr started her own stand-up career. “Pursuing comedy is not easy or glamorous,” Mayr said. “You have to really love it because it’s going to be really hard to figure out how to make your whole living from it. There’s no clear cut path like there [is] with other professions.” Mayr said that although comedy is a difficult profession to pursue, she believes that it is worth it because it unites groups of people through laughter and, she added, it makes her feel good to make people laugh and forget their problems. That is one of the main takeaways that Mayr hopes listeners gain from this comedy special. She said she started tow ork on an album about three years ago, but after her mother died, the plan was delayed. The album will be released on Jan. 6, which will mark the one-year anniversary of the Capitol riot in Washington, D.C. Mayr spent time in the nation’s capital last month and this month doing “man on the street” interviews with people taking part in rallies. According to Mayr, not everyone present at Jan. 6 riot was protesting the inauguration of President Joe Biden. Mayr said she was present in Washington, D.C. last Jan. 6 to interview people who were rallying. “I’ve always been such a fighter for free speech, especially in comedy,” Mayr said. Added that she believes that no topic should be off limits in comedy if it can garner a laugh. “If you can get away with it and people laugh, you should be able to say whatever you want,” she said. “A laugh is an acknowledgement of truth and it’s involuntary. You can’t help what you laugh at; that’s what’s so great about

Fifth grader to hit the stage with NYC Ballet Stars A Malverne fifth grader will hit the stage on Dec. 18 and 19 when the New York Dance Theatre’s 39th season of “The Nutcracker” comes to the John Cranford Adams Playhouse at Hofstra University in Hempstead. The children’s cast features students from the Ohman School of Ballet including Fallon Kunz, a fifth grader at Our Lady of Lourdes school in Malverne. Kunz performs various roles in the iconic holiday story ballet throughout the weekend including a child in the Party Scene, a mouse in the Battle Scene, a Candy Cane and a Polichinelle in the Land of Sweets. NYDT’s production is the largest Nutcracker on Long Island and the only one performed in the tradition of New York City Ballet’s Lincoln Center version. Through the years, founder Frank Ohman created original dances and scenes for the ballet that set his production apart from others on Long Island. As a former student and soloist under George Balanchine, Ohman was one of a select few authorized to use the original pas de deux choreography of his mentor, which continues to distinguish this production.

New York City Ballet stars Indiana Woodward and Daniel Ulbricht will dance the roles of the Sugarplum Fairy and her Cavalier. Ulbricht serves as an artistic advisor for the Ohman School of Ballet, a division of New York Dance Theatre, and has been a recurring master class instructor at the school including on Zoom throughout the Covid-19 pandemic. With the elegant Christmas Party Scene, the drama of the magical growing Christmas Tree, the Battle of the Toy Soldiers and Giant Mice, the live Snow Storm, and the brilliant dancing in the Land of the Sweets, “The Nutcracker” appeals to all ages. In all, a cast of 80 children, pre-professional and professional dancers will bring this classic story ballet to life on the stage of the John Cranford Adams Playhouse. Please visit www.ohmanballet.org for information about tickets, or call (631) 462-0964. Courtesy Ohman School of Ballet; compiled by Jordan Vallone

Joe Ra, a former Town of Hempstead attorney and councilman, died of Covid19 on Nov. 30. Ra worked in town government for nearly 40 years, under five different supervisors, and is remembered as a major figure in town government and a GOP leader in Franklin Square. Born and raised in Brooklyn, Ra later moved to Franklin Square in 1970, estab-

lishing a private law firm after earning both a bachelor’s and J.D. degree from St. Johns University. He married his wife, Joanne, and the couple raised their children, triplets, in Franklin Square. Ra is survived by his son Edward, a New York State assemblyman; his companion Madeline Presta; his son Joseph; his daughter Jillian of Franklin Square and his four grandsons. He is preceded in death by his wife, Joanne. The wake was held at Franklin Funeral Home, with a mass at St. Catherine.

Community supports firefighter with cancer CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE tumor. With about two to five cases per 100,000 people in North America, it accounts for more than 50 percent of primary malignant brain tumors. It still remains a rare disease, however. After he was told he would need to take off work for the duration of his treatments, his sister set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Brian and his family, including his 8-month-old daughter. Funds raised by the campaign will go toward bills, food, hospital expenses and baby items for the family of three. “Brian is such an important person in our family; he is the goofy uncle who is ready at any given moment to put on a costume or sing karaoke to entertain his nieces and nephews,” MEGHAN the donation page reads. “He has a long journey ahead until he is SAPHIRE back to the funny and goofy guy Malverne that we all know and love.” Since its launch on Nov. 7, Meghan’s GoFundMe campaign has raised nearly $50,000. In addition to the fundraiser, the Malverne Fire Department has arranged a “meal train,” for which neighbors can sign up to bring the Saphire family dinner on a chosen night of the week, or donate food delivery and grocery gift cards as well. “It’s not often that first responders are the ones call-

e are so incredibly grateful and blown away by the support everyone has shown Brian and our family.

Courtesy Meghan Saphire

BRIAN SAPHIRE BECAME a member of the Malverne Fire Department after leaving his hometown of Lindenhurst amid the Covid-19 pandemic. ing for help from the community; in nearly all cases it’s the other way around,” the department wrote in a Facebook post sharing the fundraiser. “We are sadly, desperately, asking for your help for one of our own firefighters.” Saphire has been volunteering as a firefighter since he turned 18. He served as a volunteer firefighter in his hometown of Lindenhurst for 14 years, and worked his way up to lieutenant. After moving in with his mother-

in-law at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Saphire joined the Malverne Fire Department in June this year. “We are so incredibly grateful and blown away by the support everyone has shown Brian and our family,” Meghan said. “Friends, neighbors, colleagues and strangers have all come together to show Brian such generosity and kindness.”

According to Parise, students can identify with alumni, who were in their shoes not long ago. “They get to ask

Q. We moved into our house with a sloping backyard knowing we’d have to level it out. We found a guy who specializes in stack block walls on the internet, and saw pictures of his work, and are satisfied that he can do the job. He recommended calling an engineer or architect, which we did. That’s when we learned that the harder part of this is all the months we’re waiting for permits to make our backyard useful for our kids to play in. We couldn’t have imagined it was this complicated. Our neighbors don’t seem to mind that we’re going to do it, even saying that it should’ve been done long ago. Are we missing something here? Should we have just built this and waited to see if anyone even cared?

Hewlett Harbor

Spectacular Waterfront Estate

itting on 1.76 acres, this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced, with views of the water at every turn. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is a sight to be seen. The master bedroom has limitless views of the water, an enormous walk in closet and spa like bath. From the den to the formal dining room and the library, every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. The detached guest house with a pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. A waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your question is asked every day. Even officials, who would answer that you’re absolutely doing the right thing to get plans and permits, answer that they’re just doing their job, possibly intimating that they might agree with you. Truthfully, you are doing the right thing. Not just because of the paperwork, stages of review — includonte eeper ing a zoning variance — but because raising your property means high fences viewed from the bottom of the walls. Neighbors have complained, saying they’re looking up at the “Wall of China,” and municipalities reacted. Safety is why the process is worthwhile. A stacked block wall, done incorrectly, can give way, with costly — or deadly — consequences. I was once called to look at a predicament where someone using no formulas, no instructions (apparently) and no common sense built a chest-high wall, which began to drift and lean in the first rainstorm. It violated the laws of nature in that it did not have the ability to resist the hidden or plain-sight conditions. Yes, there are formulas, charts and tables developed for holding back land masses, just as there are formulas for designing columns and beams. In my experience, the less you know, the happier you are at the beginning of the process. The more you learn from what went wrong, especially after it goes terribly wrong, the worse off you’ll be. Well, it wasn’t even the leaning wall that was the biggest part of the problem. It was the fact that a few feet from the not-so-correctly built wall was a swimming pool made of gunnite. Gunnite is concrete that has been sprayed in layers onto a heavy mesh of woven reinforcing rods. It’s one of the strongest types of construction, so strong that it was used to form the hulls of PT boats in World War II to resist torpedoes. So when the landscaped wall drifted and leaned, the strongest kind of pool built began to twist like a pretzel. It wasn’t the wall that was the biggest problem; it was how to stabilize and stop the twisty pool from breaking apart. Hang in there.

OPINIONS

n the wake of his announcement that he is entering the Democratic primary for governor, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi faces a pretty daunting obstacle: New York City Democrats. The city’s Democratic voter base, and the political bosses who select their primary candidates, mock anyone beyond the five boroughs. They know their statewide candidates will need Long Island votes in the general election, but that doesn’t mean they want a Long Islander leading the ticket. Think RONALD J. of neighboring as deadly ROSENBERG Gotham kryptonite that destroys the aspirations of every suburban Democrat who wants a shot at running statewide. We already know the roster of Long Island politicians whose statewide campaigns died at the Queens line. Kathleen Rice and Steve Levy come immediately to mind, but there are others. In the 1960s, the highly respected Nassau Coun-

ty Executive Eugene Nickerson couldn’t win the Democratic primary for Senate, despite the backing of none other than Robert F. Kennedy. Huntington Town Supervisor Jerome Ambro took on Basil Paterson for the Democratic nomination for lieutenant governor in 1970. Ambro promptly lost that contest to Patterson. And Tom Suozzi knows what it’s like to run and lose a statewide primary race. In 2006, he ran against Eliot Spitzer for the Democratic nomination for governor. He quickly lost to the Manhattan-based Spitzer (although Spitzer may still wonder what his life might have been like had he lost and then quietly repaired to the family business of making millions in real estate). So why is it that Suozzi believes that this time is the charm? For starters, the Democratic Party is unrecognizable. There are more left-leaning city Democratic power players than Politburo members in Red Square on May Day. And that’s the least of it. Consider a New York Post report that

revealed how a Bronx-based congressman, Jamaal Bowman, “is facing the fury of the Democratic Socialists of America, who have accused him of betrayal for visiting Israel and meeting with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.” That action alone reveals that Suozzi’s Democratic Party has a cancer eating away at its soul. Suozzi’s primary strategy is to position himself as a centrist in a race that will compel Democrats to choose among the progressive, the progressive lite and the still to be politically defined gubernatorial incumbent. Suozzi will have the advantage of fundraising among deep-pocketed New York City business leaders who have the right to fear a state lurching left. They have been desperately looking for a “common-sense” Democrat whom they can support, so it is no accident that the phrase “common-sense candidate” is now Suozzi’s adopted slogan. While Suozzi and his primary competitors seek to position themselves for a win, they need to recognize that a primary victory is not an anointment to be gov-

ew York City has often proved poisonous for suburban Democrats.

ernor. As this past Election Day revealed, there is a quiet but seething anger among voters who rightly view the progressive/socialist agenda, such as “bail reform,” as destructive to their quality of life and core values. In a state reputed to be deeply blue, there is every reason to believe that a Republican gubernatorial candidate could win by tapping into the anger, and not a little bit of fear of where New York might be heading. Much the way the Red Wave on Election Night 2021 sent a strong message that voters are not going to follow a progressive manifesto, Republican Long Island Congressman Lee Zeldin could easily upset the pundits and assume office as the next governor of New York. If so, it would be nothing less than ironic if those Long Island Democrats who aspired to be governor but were blocked by New York City progressives got to attend the gubernatorial inauguration of a fellow Long Islander who ran on the Republican line. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Hoping for the gift of life in this season of giving

e was 49 years old in March, and he hopes to celebrate his 50th birthday next year. Anyone would wish the same, but Scott Englander, a Woodmere resident, faces an uncertain future. According to his mother, Arlene, after a catastrophic bacterial infection left him in a coma more than six years ago, Scott suffered both heart and kidney failure. His heart stabilized, but his kidney function continued to decline until he was forced to begin RANDI regular dialysis KREISS recently. He is being treated at the Julia and Israel Waldbaum Davida Dialysis facility in Great Neck, where he undergoes dialysis three times a week, for four and a half hours at a time. It is a grueling routine that leaves him exhausted. The only way off dialysis, however, is to get a kidney transplant. The family is hopes for a living donor, someone who finds it within him or herself to promise Scott another birthday, and another one after that. We have all read stories of selfless individuals who know they can live normally with one

kidney and are willing to come forward in an exceptional act of generosity. If you or someone you know would like more information about this process, please email scottneedsakidney@ gmail.com. I have known Arlene and Richard Englander for more than 50 years. We hadn’t connected in a long time when Arlene reached out, hoping to increase Scott’s chances of finding a kidney donor. They had already tried Zoom megacalls and bulk mailings and emails. Maybe, they thought, someone will read this and consider giving this gift of life. Perhaps the word will pass through our communities and someone will step forward. For the recipient, according to the National Kidney Transplant Foundation, “Your health and energy should improve. In fact, a successful kidney transplant may allow you to live the kind of life you were living before you got kidney disease. Studies show that people with kidney transplants live longer than those who remain on dialysis.” Unrelated individuals who make a good match may be able to donate one of their kidneys, in a living transplant. If a donor and recipient are incompatible,

there are “kidney swaps,” in which donors can provide kidneys to compatible recipients in exchange for a compatible donation to their intended recipient. Advances in kidney transplant have made it possible to do the surgeries laparoscopically, which leads to much shorter recovery times. Potential donors are carefully screened, and supported physically and emotionally. According to the Kidney Project at the University of California, San Francisco, some 100,000 patients in the United States are on the kidney transplant list, and the need for donor kidneys is rising 8 percent per year. The wait times for an organ vary from state to state. Fortunately, most insurance covers the expenses for both transplant donors and recipients. Many charitable groups offer travel and work compensation for donors. It is, of course, illegal to buy or sell human organs or tissue in the U.S. According to the Mayo Clinic, the hospital stay for most kidney donors is one or two days. Its website states, “After kidney donation, most people are able to return to normal daily activities after two to four weeks. You may be advised to avoid contact sports or other strenuous activities that may cause kidney dam-

local man who’d like to see his children grow up is in need of a new kidney.

age.” In the U.S., more than 6,000 livingorgan donations are completed each year. Living-kidney donation is the most common type of living-donor transplant. People can donate one of their two kidneys, and the remaining kidney is able to perform the necessary functions. For the recipient, receiving a kidney from a living donor is successful more than 98 percent of the time, according to the Mayo Clinic. If the kidney comes from a deceased donor, the success rate is 93 percent. Ongoing treatment tethered to dialysis is a difficult alternative. Scott Englander and his family are hoping for a living donor. He would like to go back to his work as a chiropractor and his life with his family. His roots in the community run deep: He went to the Number Six School, Lawrence Middle School, Lawrence High School, SUNY Albany and Life University in Georgia. Scott has been on the transplant list at the Northwell Health Transplant Center for two and a half years, his mother says. She says the expectation is a wait of some five to eight years to get a deceased person’s kidney. A living donor could come forward at any time. In a note to me this week, Scott said that he hopes for a kidney so that he may live long enough to see his children grow up. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Now, not later, is time to push for SALT reform

he Herald has editorialized a halfdozen times on Long Island’s desperate need to restore the federal income-tax deduction for state and local taxes, which the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, passed under President Donald Trump, limited to $10,000, costing many middle-class families here thousands of dollars annually. Now, it appears, we are on the brink of overturning the measure. Sustained political pressure is needed to see the elimination of the $10,000 SALT cap through to the finish line. That’s why we are encouraging readers to write to U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, both Democrats, to ensure that the proposal passes in the Senate when it is brought up for an upcoming vote. There is a false impression that the SALT deduction affords an unfair tax advantage only to the rich, a refrain repeated by conservative pundits across the nation. For decades, however, the deduction provided vital federal tax relief to middle-class families on Long Island and many other parts of the country. Many conservatives argue that any family earning above $100,000 per year is affluent, even rich. And, they say, most of the people taking the SALT deduction — 98 percent — have a household income above that figure, with 80 percent earning between $100,000 and $200,000 and 18 percent above $200,000. Meanwhile, the average family income nationwide is $67,000 a year, according to census data. That argument, however, does not account for regional cost differences — in

LETTERS Ida relief deadline extended to January To the Editor: The deadline for applications for the Hurricane Ida Relief Fund will be extended until Jan. 4 to provide aid to excluded survivors of the storm and flooding caused by its remnants. New Yorkers who are ineligible to receive storm recovery help through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Individual Assistance Program or other means can apply for funding that is being distributed through an established network of community organizations. In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, my office has been fully committed to helping all New Yorkers recover from this devastating storm. With this extension to apply for resources, New Yorkers who are ineligible for FEMA relief and community organizations on the ground can now gather all the necessary information to apply for the funds that they need to rebuild.

particular, high property taxes in places like Long Island. It focuses only on income. Long Island is one of the most expensive places to live in the country. The median household income here, $116,000, would buy a whole lot in a state like Mississippi, where the median household income is about $42,000; or New Mexico, where it’s $46,300; or Idaho, where it’s $48,600. On Long Island, however, $116,000 is not rich. It’s middle class. So, while the SALT deduction has undoubtedly helped the wealthy, it has aided the middle class in high-cost regions like ours, and that is why it must be restored. The House of Representatives, led by Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from Glen Cove, recently passed SALT reform as part of the $2 trillion Build Back Better bill. Bravo! The legislation, if passed by the Senate, would smartly cap the deduction at $80,000, allowing middle-class families in states like New York and California to take advantage of the federal deduction, but still limiting it to prevent the truly wealthy from benefiting disproportionately. According to Suozzi, passage of SALT reform in the Senate would bring immediate tax relief to some 3.4 million New York taxpayers, including nearly 367,000 in Nassau alone. That would return dollars to our local economy, where they belong. Since enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act four years ago, New York has paid $12 billion more in federal taxes — money that has gone to states like Kentucky, home to Senate Minority Leader

Mitch McConnell, a Republican who led the charge alongside Trump to pass the act. The recent reform package passed in the House would raise the SALT deduction cap for nine years, through 2030. That seems fair. New Yorkers would have time to plan for its sunset. The legislation passed by Trump, on the other hand, caught many flatfooted, requiring desperate measures of them, including taking out loans just to pay their federal income taxes. The $80,000 cap would take effect on people’s 2021 federal tax bills, providing them nearly immediate relief — which would be vital, given the economic hardships that many households have been forced to endure because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Lest any U.S. senator believe that the desire to restore the SALT deduction is confined to states like New York and California, he or she need only look to recent comments by Tom Cochran, CEO and executive director of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, to understand that the sentiment is shared by many elected leaders and taxpayers nationwide. “On behalf of the nation’s mayors,” Cochran said, “I want to commend Congressman Suozzi for his hard work on this issue. He never stopped fighting to restore the state and local taxes [deduction] for middle-income families in all states.” Indeed. We mustn’t believe for a second, however, that the measure will pass in the Senate until it has. That is why we need everyone’s voice speaking out on this critical issue.

OPINIONS

n the wake of Democrats’ November election debacle, they are looking for who or what to blame. The initial targets are critical race theory, “wokeness,” and congressional progressives known as “the Squad,” in particular Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. If Democrats accept the narrative that swing voters rejected “extremism,” they are doomed to lose big in 2022 and 2024. Leading Republicans have not shied away from extremism. In fact, they have embraced it. When Arizona Rep. Paul ALAN Gosar tweeted animated videos SINGER showing him killing Ocasio-Cortez and attacking President Biden with a sword, Republicans in Congress overwhelmingly voted against censuring him. They blame Biden for the recent spike in Covid-19 cases, while they actively campaign against mandatory vaccination and masking. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is promoting right-wing “replacement theories” that were behind the 2017 neoNazi rally in Charlottesville, Va. On Fox News, Gingrich accused leftists of trying to drown out “classic Americans” and replace them with people who know nothing of the country’s history and traditions because they want to “get rid of the rest of us.” Fox’s Tucker Carlson repeated Gingrich’s claims, accusing Democrats of

trying to “change the racial mix of the country” so they can “reduce the political power of people whose ancestors lived here.” Meanwhile, the Republican rank-andfile have disrupted local school board meetings, denouncing school curricula, library books and efforts to combat the pandemic. The New York Times reported a “disturbing spike in threats against school board officials” and “hundreds of intimidating messages to election officials in at least a dozen states.” The Democrats lost this year, however, because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda that would have provided an alternative narrative to GOP talking points; internal bickering that undermined legislative initiatives and made them appear incompetent; and deep-seated white racism that allowed the argument that critical race theory is invading our schools to take hold. In Kenosha, Wis., a largely white jury acquitted a 17-year-old white man who brought an assault rifle to a Black Lives Matter rally and killed two of the protesters because he thought he was defending himself from attack by his unarmed victims. That decision had nothing to do with critical race theory or leftwing “wokeness” and everything to do with white fear of Blacks. It was celebrated by white vigilante groups as justification for their behavior, and Kyle Rittenhouse was proclaimed a Second Amendment hero by

hey lost this year because of their failure to articulate a clear agenda.

LETTERS The extension bolsters the state’s commitment to support nonprofit organizations in a joint effort to distribute assistance to those who need to apply for it. As of Nov. 30, more than 1,800 people had reached out about this program, and of these initial contacts, 403 households had submitted applications, and 507 households had qualified for FEMA funds and have since been referred there. To date, 54 households have received $228,376. An additional 31 households have approved applications and are pending payment. In Nassau County, the contact point is the Economic Opportunity Commission, at 134 Jackson St. in Hempstead.

and I was honored to do so. The message from Rabbi Michael Cohen, of Central Synagogue, the Rev. Scott Ressman, of the United Church of Rockville Centre, Mayor Francis X. Murray and the organizers was clear: Hate has no home here — not now, not ever! One lesson of the 20th century is that the political ideology of the Proud Boys ends in the concentration camp. I was thus disheartened not to see the Diocese of Rockville Centre bishop or more representatives of Christian churches lend their voices to the demonstration. I consider this a serious abdication of their moral duty.

conservative politicians and right-wing news outlets. On CNN, the recently fired Chris Cuomo interviewed comedian and commentator Bill Maher about a supposed leftwing peril threatening the U.S., feeding him a series of softball questions. After acknowledging that “I’m not in schools” and “I have no interaction with children,” Maher said he had heard from people across the country that “kids are sometimes separated into groups, oppressor and oppressed” and are being taught that “racism is the essence of America.” He derided this practice as “just silly; it’s just virtue-signaling,” and accused people advocating for curriculum revision of being “afraid to acknowledge progress,” a psychological disorder he labeled “progressophobia.” I kept waiting for Cuomo to ask Maher for an example — any example — to support his claims, but Cuomo never did, and Maher never felt compelled to offer any evidence. On his HBO show, Maher promotes a group of contrarians who want to start their own college, where they will be free to present offensive ideas and dismiss objections without having to provide supporting evidence or answer to anyone. Cuomo never asked Maher about that, either. The more serious problems for Democrats and progressives worldwide are new surges of the coronavirus that have led to closings, supply-chain disruptions and

inflation spikes, as well as counterattacks on climate-change initiatives. In Europe, protests against newly imposed Covid-19 restrictions turned into riots in Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands, and in Germany they boosted the right-wing vote. This has nothing to do with teaching critical race theory in American schools and everything to do with international right-wing fear-mongering and mobilization. The other real problem is denial of the impending climate catastrophe, and efforts to block restrictions on the production and use of fossil fuels. Global leaders sang Kumbaya after the Glasgow Climate Change Conference and then went home, where they will implement inadequate or phantom measures. Wealthy GOP and fossil-fuel industry donors in the U.S. are pouring money into the re-election campaign accounts of nominally Democratic senators Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, to influence them to stand firm against cleanenergy initiatives. Again, this has nothing to do with “wokeness” or the fictional claim that children are being indoctrinated into critical race theory in American schools.
