SD 1 race remains undecided

A smiley, soapy time Lawrence High School seniors washed 41 vehicles last Sunday, and raised $508 for senior class activities.

More than two months after the election for Sanitary District 1 commissioner between Gabriel Boxer and Gwynette Campbell, the legal maneuvering continues. Boxer filed papers earlier this month asking a state court to rule on what he claimed were the sanitary district’s violations of state, town and election law.

On July 11, the sanitary district, which collects trash and recyclables in the Five Towns and a few surrounding communities, held elections for commissioner.

Boxer, of Hewlett, challenged Campbell, an Inwood resident and an appointed commissioner, to complete the remaining four years of a five-year term. Campbell had replaced Lino Viola, who stepped down in April.

Incumbent commissioner Jim Vilardi ran unopposed for his seat, and won another five-year term.

Chabad-Atlantic Beach village land battle continues LON, VAL

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

The ongoing land battle between the Village of Atlantic Beach and the Chabad of the Beaches tilted in favor of the Long Beach congregation on Sept. 6, when U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert issued a preliminary injunction against the village’s claim of eminent domain.

“Chabad of the Beaches is grateful that Judge Seybert has stopped the village —

at least for now — from taking its property,” Jeremy Dys, senior counsel at the Plano, Texas-based First Liberty Institute, which is representing the Chabad, said in a prepared statement. “We hope this decision encourages the Village of Atlantic Beach to welcome Chabad of the Beaches to its community, rather than spending even more taxpayer dollars to keep them out.”

The First Liberty Institute is dedicated to defending religious freedom.

Atlantic Beach has yet to decide whether to move forward with further legal action. “The village’s motion to dismiss remains pending,” Mayor George Pappas said in a statement. “We respect the court’s decision at this preliminary stage of litigation to maintain the status quo regarding ownership of the old bank building purchased by Chabad Lubavitch of the Beaches. Our goal remains what it has always been, namely, to create a badly needed communi-

Last November, the Chabad, which is based in Long Beach, bought the property at 2025 Park St., formerly the site of a Capital One bank, for $950,000. The adjacent site, 2035 Park St., had been owned by the Salazar family since 1938 — and once housed the M.A Salazar Inc. real estate office — until Atlantic Beach took title of the parcel through eminent domain in August.

obituary

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Where most people usually focus on one discipline and might dabble in another, Hyman Gorenberg was a tenured professor, a certified public accountant and an attorney in a life that spanned 92 years. He died on Sept.

12, 2022.

Born on June 12, 1930 and raised in the Bronx during the Great Depression, Gorenberg was the youngest of five siblings and only spoke Yiddish until kindergarten.

While in public school, he taught himself English and academically excelled. As many boys of that era, he played stickball in the streets and his ball playing prowess caught the eye of a minor league baseball scout.

However, he made his family proud in the classroom, being the first member of his family to attend college. In between classes, Gorenberg worked as a line cook and served egg sandwiches. He earned a bachelor’s in business administration the City University of New York in 1950.

Not long after, the Korean War intervened and Gorenberg went into the Air Force. He was stationed in Goose Bay, Labrador. One of his more unique duties was guarding an airplane in sub-freezing weather that contained atomic bombs.

Out of the cold and into law school Gorenberg graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 1957. Three years later, he earned a master of laws in taxation from New York University Law School.

In 1960, Gorenberg began his 54-year career of teaching at Baruch College, where he became a tenured professor of taxation and accounting for the Zicklin School of Business, until he retired in 2014.

When asked what his profession was, Gorenberg proudly answered simply that he was a teacher. Asked where he taught, the humorous response was, “UCLA – the University at the Corner of Lexington Avenue.” The Manhattan location of Baruch College.

Considered an expert in taxation with a focus on

BRoNx NativE HYmaN Gorenberg’s 92-year life was rooted in humility and focused on his family, his friends and his professional endeavors. estates and trusts, family members said, “He had the pleasure of teaching and impacting the lives of thousands of undergraduate and graduate students.” Gorenberg was a recipient of the Teaching Excellence Award from Baruch’s school of Business and Public Administration, lectured nationwide on estate planning and

wrote the treatise “Income Taxation of Estates and Trusts” for the American Institute for Certified Public Accountants.

Envisioning the potential of downtown Stamford in Connecticut from a helicopter in the late 1970s, he, along with partners, developed some of the first highrise condominiums in that city through the 1980s.

Stamford is considered one of the most developed and thriving cities in Connecticut.

Family members said he was a loyal reader of the Herald with his favorite section being the obituaries.

“He would consistently send his family articles to read about the lives of people from all backgrounds – taking in the spectrum of experiences, contributions, travails, tragedies and triumphs,” said Brett Steinberg, one of Gorenberg’s six grandchildren.

His family was his pride and joy. He and Iris (née Aaronson), known as his “BW” (beautiful wife), were married for 64 years. “His devotion to his family was exemplified by his daily phone calls with his children and grandchildren,” Brett said.

A Five Towns resident since 1967, Gorenberg was an avid patron of the arts. He and Iris were season ticket holders of the New York City Ballet and New York Philharmonic. A longtime member of both the Seawane and Woodmere country clubs, he was often on the golf course with Iris and friends. “He was a loyal man, with no frills, patronizing the same barber up until his 90s, and loyal and caring to everyone he had contact with,” his daughters, Robin, Lisa and Nancy all agreed.

Gorenberg’s Hebrew name was Chaim. Whenever someone would say ‘’l’chaim” (life in Hebrew), he responded, “Thank you.” Family and friends now say, “L’chaim, here’s to life, and here’s to Hy.” He is survived by his wife Iris, daughters Robin Gorenberg, Lisa Gorenberg and Nancy Fisher; son-inlaws Scott Fisher and Lester Steinberg; and his grandchildren, Sam, Brett, and Jenny Steinberg, and Rachel, Carly and Brandon Fisher.

A new academic year takes flight

he start of a new year at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School is riveting and exciting. While sophomores, juniors and seniors continue on their paths to success, first-year students are just starting their high school journey.

Teachers, old and new, met with all of their students on Sept. 8 to kick off the first full day of classes. Freshman received a special first day all to themselves a day earlier, while older grades began their transition back to school the same day with orientations and time to prepare before resuming class. In addition, seniors participated in a fun-filled scavenger hunt with their ninth-grade “little siblings” in the Big Sib program, which gives senior students an opportunity to mentor incoming freshmen for the year.

Though the new school year has just begun, there are already so many

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

In an open discussion forum, Queens native Jason Greenblatt answered questions and spoke on a wide range of issues stemming from his involvement in creating the Abraham Accords as a White House envoy to the Middle East during the Trump Administration.

Greenblatt, along with former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, was an instrumental part of the team that negotiated the accords in 2020.

It refers to a collective set of agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain that marked the first public announcement of what is considered normal relations between Arab countries and the Jewish state since the 1994 statement with Jordan.

Standing in the sanctuary of Young Israel of North Woodmere on Sept. 7, Greenblatt made his first local area appearance since the release of his book, “In the Path of Abraham.”

Fielding questions interspersed with his experiences, Greenblatt expounded on and expressed his views of what he thinks is a changing Middle East, while a portion of the world remains stuck in neutral.

In response to a query on whether Hamas, typically described as a Palestinian Sunni-Islamic fundamentalist, militant and nationalist organization, and the Palestine Liberation Organization defined as a Palestinian national political and militant organization are the same, Greenblatt said he was disappointed that, “The U.S.) could not get the United Nations to call Hamas what they are,” (a terrorist organization).

Describing himself as an optimist, a realist and a pessimist, Greenblatt said, “I look to the future, not the past.” And then added, “(I) hope for peace but you deal with the cards you are dealt.”

A lawyer, Greenblatt, 55, worked for the Trump Organization beginning in 1997.

He became an executive vice president

and chief legal officer to Trump and business group, as well as an adviser on Israel.

When introducing Greenblatt, Rabbi Yehuda Septimus said though he had just met the guest speaker, “I feel a deep kinship to him,” noting that they attended the same yeshiva, both went to Yeshiva University and attained post-graduate degrees at New York University. Where their paths diverge, Septimus humorously said is he only intervenes in arguments between his teenage daughters, while Greenblatt is negotiating peace in the Middle East.

It is the human connection that Greenblatt said he aims for through his speaking engagements. “I want people to understand the truth about the Israel-Palestinian conflict,” he told the Herald. “The truth about the Abraham Accords and just understand that today’s Middle East is a very different Middle East than it ever was.”

Referring to a more contemporary Middle East, he said: “The countries are moving in a different direction in terms of their society. Weaning themselves off oil, they all have big plans. Those plans likely include Israel in some way, and I think we need to pay attention to that.”

Kushner had an impact, Greenblatt said. “I thought he was a great friend, a great boss, a great colleague,” he said.

“He’s quiet, he’s studious and he has the most optimistic approach to a problem I’ve ever seen.”

After a difficult session, Greenblatt said Kushner functioned as a cheerleader and challenged the group to keep at it and find another direction, akin to solving a maze. Kushner’s optimism continues to coarse through Greenblatt.

“I think the Middle East is on an upswing in lots a ways,” said Greenblatt, who’s book tour has taken him to Los Angeles, Florida and just before the Jewish holidays, South Korea. “Despite Covid, despite the world challenges today it’s a very promising place to be and we should pay attention to it.”

Let’s keep the days of awe awesome

Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim

Rosh Hashanah is not a day of sadness or a day of seriousness. It is a joyful holiday! It’s the day when we elect G-d to be our ruler. It is the day that G-d remembers each and every one of us, and the day when we become closer to G-d by focusing on improving ourselves. That’s cause for celebration!

That’s why, in my position as the rabbi at Chabad of Hewlett, I have long geared our High Holiday services towards this

goal: that the Days of Awe shouldn’t be awful — they should be awesome!

And this year, the joy we will feel when we gather for Rosh Hashanah will be especially deeply-felt. For many, these will be the first “typical” High Holiday services they are able to attend in three years — at Chabad of Hewlett we’re preparing to make it a wonderful back-to-Temple experience!

And the joy at being able to gather

once more as a community is magnified as this Rosh Hashanah will also mark the start of the Year of Hakhel. This once-in-seven-years Jewish tradition goes back to the times of the Holy Temple, when in the year following the Shemittah sabbatical year, the entire Jewish nation would gather in the Temple.

Nowadays, at the urging of the Rebbe — Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory — Hakhel has become a time to focus on unity and community-building, something that is more important than ever now after years of isolation.

This Rosh Hashanah, as we gather for services at Chabad of Hewlett, the shofar will welcome a year of joyful rebuilding after years of adversity and loss. Because joy is the true conduit to blessing in our lives. And that joy will be proclaimed for all to hear when the shofar sounds.

For centuries, Jewish sages and philosophers have discussed the reasons behind the mitzvah — commandment — of sounding the shofar, the central obligation of the day. There are some 11 different meanings behind this simple series of sounds. To name a few: the shofar evokes the trumpets sounded at a king’s coronation, and on Rosh Hashanah we’re crowning G-d as our king; it is like an alarm that calls for us to return to G-d and correct our ways; it reminds us of the Giving of the Torah at Sinai — when the shofar was sounded, and of the binding of Isaac and the ram G-d provided as a sacrifice in Isaac’s stead.

Throughout the millennia, the shofar has been a constant in Jewish life. It was sounded secretly amid tears in concentration camps and Soviet gulags, and it was sounded openly and joyously in magnificent sanctuaries and synagogues. For every generation, in every place, the shofar has meant something unique, something resonant.

For us in Hewlett, in 2022, it is the sound of joyful optimism for the future, and the celebration of once again being able to gather as a community for the High Holidays.

In keeping with the theme of unity and building community, we strive to ensure that everyone feels welcome, regardless of prior knowledge, affiliation, or financial situation. That’s why we have a variety of services geared towards everyone from first-time attendees to seasoned synagogue-goers. It’s why we don’t require membership, and don’t turn away anyone due to lack of funds. And it’s why we strive to create a joyous Jewish experience on Rosh Hashanah and on every day of the year.

Join us! Visit JewishHewlett.com/ HighHolidays or call (516) 592-8503 to register. May you and yours have a truly happy and sweet new year!

Tenenboim is the leader of the Chabad of Hewlett.

Repentance will put you in touch with yourself.

Prayer will bring you closer to God and acts of righteousness will bring you nearer to your fellow man.

That closeness will gird you with strength.” As he turned to walk away, he said, “I guess you gave me something to think about.” “I hope I see you on the High Holy Day,” I said, using the same words as before but with a new, more personal urgency.

“Come on down and we’ll think and pray and learn and grow together.” I hope I do see him at services and I hope that you’ll be there too.

Warm wishes for a sweet New Year.

While taking a walk the other day, I met a fellow that I see in synagogue every once in a while. After exchanging pleasantries, I asked, “So, I’ll see you on the High Holy Days?” I got an answer I did not expect. “I’m thinking about skipping services this year, rabbi. I just don’t think they deliver on what they promise.”

“What do you think you are being promised?” I asked. “Look, rabbi, I try to be a good guy all year, 24/7. I give money to charity and though I don’t pray too often, when I do, I put my heart into it. Yet, last year I lost my dad to Covid. My brother has cancer. If my business declines any more, I won’t have a business. So how did my prayers and my being a nice guy help me? If that’s what the prayer book preaches, I just don’t think it’s for me.”

As he spoke, I could envision the page of the Mahzor (High Holy Day Prayer Book) to which he was referring. The text says utshuvah, utfillah utzdakah maavirin et roah hagezerah. In many Mahzorim, they translate this statement as, “Repentance, prayer and righteousness avert the severe decree.”

Whether out of sincere interest or simply out of respect for me, the young man stayed with me long enough to hear my reply. “That’s not what it says in the prayer book,” I told him. “What it really says it that repentance, prayer and acts of righteousness will avert the severity of the decree.

We live in a world where bad and good things can and do happen to us.

Sometimes we cause the events.

Sometimes others thrust them upon us and sometimes circumstances converge in our direction.

Often, the “decree” cannot be averted. But if you live a life gov-

Hebrew Academy of Long Beach students took part in their first respect assemblies of the school year on Sept. 9.

The students learned about Queen Elizabeth who died a day earlier, and recited a special prayer in her honor.

In the younger grades, students viewed Elizabeth’s coronation as queen of Eng-

land in 1953. The honor bestowed up the queen, the students learned is an earthly example of the honor given to God. Honor, kavod in Hebrew, was the primary topic of each assembly.

Sanitary district court battle continues continued from front page The initial unofficial results had Boxer leading Campbell by a 107-vote margin, 395 to 288. Two days later, the legal wrangling began, as Boxer and the district went to court in an effort to resolve a number of issues — from determining the legality of the manner in which S.D. 1 issued and reviewed absentee ballot applications and issued and distributed those ballots, to deciding whether the counting of the roughly 900 absentee ballots should proceed.

Boxer also questioned whether the district’s vote counting was accurate, and asked the court to order the district to certify the correct count, as well as his win.

“The election was almost two months ago,” Boxer said in late August.

“I overwhelmingly won at the polls. It’s time for Gwynette Campbell to concede and save the taxpayers, who are paying her legal bills, thousands upon thousands of dollars.”

In late July, the parties went to court again, and Boxer continued to claim that there had been voting irregularities. ‘The central issue is the absentee ballots,” attorney Nat Swergold, who is representing the district and Campbell, said at the time. “There are no irregularities.”

Swergold had not returned a call requesting comment at press time.

In the most recent court papers filed on Boxer’s behalf by his attorney, John Ciampoli, the contention was that the sanitary district “flouted the provisions of the Public Officers Law by not providing public documents” to Boxer based on a Freedom of Information Law request.

Boxer also claimed that Swergold’s dual representation of both the sanitary district and Campbell amounted to a conflict of interest; that the district was “choking off ,,,

Based on Ciampoli’s claims, “each and every absentee ballot in this race is tainted by the defect the (sanitary district) created,” Ciampoli state in the court filing.

Ciampoli asked the court to invalidate the absentee

ballots and order that the original election results be certified, or have the court set aside the election and order a new one under the court’s supervision.

A hearing is set for Oct. 6, at 1 p.m.

skimos have many words to describe different types of snow. I wish I had known that when I was a novice skier. At that time, snow to me was pretty, white, cold and an excellent surface on which to schuss down the bunny slope.

The day I fell, I was blissfully unaware of the term icy crust. Hence, I never looked for it nor saw it until I tried unsuccessfully to come to a stop. Yup, it may seem strange that I couldn’t tell icy crust from powdered snow, but it’s tough to see something when you don’t know to look inda for it.

Now you may wonder what my ski story has to do with lies. I believe we need a variety of terms to describe a lie. Yes, we have white lie, harmless lie, damn lie.

These, however, aren’t different words but modifying adjectives.

One way to appreciate the problem of a limited vocabulary is to imagine what it’d be like if we only had the words mental illness to describe a whole range of problems. We’d then view anxiety as a minor mental illness, paranoid schizophrenia as a severe mental illness. Such descriptions would be a major hindrance to gaining an in-depth understanding of these syndromes.

Merriam-Webster added 370 new words to their dictionary this year.

None of them were words that defined “lie” in a broader context. I wish there were, for there are times when it’s better to tell a lie than tell the truth. I also wish there were other words for liar. I cringe when I hear parents call their kid a liar when though the child has indeed lied, he’s done so not maliciously but to protect himself from punishment, shame or disapproval. Without the sting of the liar label, there’d be a better opportunity for a parent-child dialogue to discover why the child didn’t tell the truth.

Here’s an example. Bob is a preteen who often goes to the school nurse, claiming he’s not feeling well.

NASSAU HERALD — September 22, 2022

Let’s broaden our lies!

Once home he naps, watches TV, then feels fine. His exasperated mom doesn’t believe his excuses, accusing him of being a liar. Though that label stings, Bob takes pains to conceal it.

He clams up, never telling his mom the real reason why he fakes illness two bullies who regularly torment him during lunch period.

Now imagine what might happen if Bob’s mom knew the word protectee - a word I just made up. I’ve defined it as “one who creates an excuse to protect himself from undesirable occurrences.” If mom knew her son created excuses apadin to get out of school, she’d naturally wonder what or who he needs to protect himself from. This focus eliminates blame, directing the conversation toward helping Bob find a resolution to his problem.

Due to our limited vocabulary in this arena, parents and teachers tell kids it’s wrong to tell a lie.” Yet, kids intuitively know it’s not, at least not all the time. Indeed, we can honestly say it’s a lie to tell kids“it’s always wrong to tell a lie.” Don’t agree with me?

How about when an insecure soul asks, “do I look okay in this?” Or, a stressed soul asks, “do you think it’ll work out okay?” What if you’re planning a surprise birthday party for a friend? Or, trying to build confidence in a worried kid?

Yes, lying can be beneficial to the people you’re lying to. So here’s a challenge for you. Create new words for lies or for those who are telling lies. Send them to me and maybe in 2023, they’ll be added to the dictionary!

Jesse Corben didn’t mind waiting a few extra days to earn his first win as Hewlett’s boys’ soccer coach following 14 seasons as an assistant to Nick Lacetera.

The Bulldogs defeated neighboring rival Lawrence, 4-2, on the road in the Conference A-Central opener Sept.

12, a little more than 24 hours after squandering a two-goal second-half lead at Plainedge in a non-league game. Hewlett then followed the victory over Lawrence with an impressive 3-0 win over South Side in its home opener Sept. 14.

“Lawrence and South Side have been two of the best teams in the county for years,” Corben said. “It’s definitely a confidence booster for our guys to open the conference schedule this way.

Now we feel we can play with anyone. We just have to keep up the intensity because there are no easy games.”

Senior goalkeeper Matteo Preziosi, a returning starter, made 8 saves in the shutout win over South Side. “Matteo gives us a chance to win every game,” Corben said.

“He’s a tall kid who does a solid job and leads by example. He’s aggressive to the ball and has a strong leg.”

Senior Ori Assaf opened the scoring and then drew a foul in the box that led to junior Matthew Lamour’s penalty kick goal as Hewlett built a 2-0 halftime lead.

Senior Ryan Goodman headed home the final goal.

“South Side is historically one of the strongest programs in Nassau,” Corben said. “We haven’t had much

success against them over the years. Even though the score was 3-0, we didn’t dominate. We capitalized on our opportunities and did a great job in the back moving the ball out quickly.”

In the conference opener, the Bulldogs spotted Lawrence an early 1-0 lead and also trailed 2-1 in the second half before scoring three unanswered goals Lamour had a hat trick and senior Eric Riftin notched a goal and an assist.

“It was great how the kids responded,” Corben said.

“We had two tough nonleague results. We tied Division 3-3 and lost 3-2 to Plainedge after leading 2-0.

Looking back, the Plainedge game could be a blessing in disguise. We learned a lesson and it wasn’t a conference opponent.”

In addition to Preziosi, the Bulldogs returned a bunch of starters from last season when they fell short of qualifying for the Nassau Class A playoffs. Senior Max Mariasch is the lone returnee to the starting defense and brings a physical presence and leadership. He’s been joined by senior speedsters Dylan Joseph and Rafael Iraheta, as well as sophomore Kfir Halfon, who has impressed Corben thus far after starring at the JV level last fall.

The all-senior midfield features Riftin as the attacker, Goodman and Dylan Rave as workhorses battling for 50-50 balls, and Assaf, Matthew Mata and Sergio Zumba, a converted defender, on the outside. Lamour also sees some time in the midfield but is the team’s primary for-

NASSAU HERALD — September 22, 2022

The life of a city:

One New York City.

Gangstagrass

By Karen Bloom

The iconic city never ceases to fascinate. It elicites strong opinions from those who simply can’t get enough of the Big Apple, and from the naysayers who prefer to stay away. But one thing’s for certain: NYC surely captures our attention.

And throughout the decades it’s captured the eye — and lens — of photographers who are enthralled by “the city that never sleeps.”

Hofstra University Museum of Art reaches into its vast collection again to continue the fall exhibit season with “New York, New York: Photographs from the Collection.”

These 45 photographs capture New York City in its infinite complexity and variety, not only celebrating the city’s evocative architecture, but reveling in its everyday streets and signage, authentic faces, and dynamic street scenes. The blackand-white images were made over a span of 75 years — from 1932 to 2008 — yet are unified through the use of monochrome, creating connections between disparate decades.

While the photographers — including Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Andreas Feininger, Harold Feinstein, Donna Ferrato, Joel Meyerowitz, Dorothy Norman, and Garry Winogrand — are not all native New Yorkers, they are inheritors of this miraculous city, dedicated to seeking its intricacies, grandeur, joy and hardships. Their distinct vision chronicles a city that continually reinvents itself.

“We haven’t done an exhibit When: Through Dec. 9 focusing on photography in some years,” says museum Where: Emily Lowe Gallery, director and curator Karen Albert. “This is another behind Emily Lowe Hall, opportunity to showcase one of the strengths of our Hofstra University’s collection.”

South Campus The exhibit — guest curated by photographer For more information, Susannah Ray, a former adjunct Hofstra faculty member and to RSVP for tour, call — is grouped into four segments. The “Iconic City” (516) 463-5672, or examines the skyline and signage, celebrating the city as visit Hofstra.edu/museum both a symbol and a place.

“This is the traditional image people have when they think of Manhattan,” notes Albert.

“Streetscapes and Signage” is building focused, also including handmade signs and ads that were — and still are — aimed at grabbing the attention of pedestrians rushing from one block to the next. “New York Portraits” is a look at real life, and real people populate the city streets, clubs and living rooms.

Finally, “Street Scenes” offers images of the city, pulling the entire exhibit together.

These are what Ray describes as “a quintessential New York photograph, which combines iconic architecture, everyday streets, and idiosyncratic people into one rapidly observed composition: the street photograph. They describe everything that might happen in a given second in New York, and remind the viewer that there is always more happening just around the next corner. The photographers spent lifetimes to craft their visions, returning again and again to photograph this ‘helluva town.’”

Of note, Albert cites Andreas Feininger’s photo of an elevated trestle. “It’s a classic image of a New York that doesn’t exist anymore, with the lights filling onto the downtown streets below.”

Another by Diane Arbus, of a young man in curlers, “is a good representation of Arbus’ work seeing people in all aspects of society.”

The public is invited to a curator’s gallery tour at the Emily Lowe Gallery, Thursday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. Ray will share insights about what she selected during the tour.

Gangstagrass brings together different kinds of American music and creates a whole new category, greater than the sum of the parts.

As their latest album, ‘No Time For Enemies,’ climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart, Americana Highways magazine proclaimed the Emmy-nominated bluegrasship hop ensemble ‘America’s Band’ because they take so much of what’s amazing about this country — ingenuity, creativity, freedom, unity across differences, people’s individual strength and struggles — and distill it into a message of common ground in the form of original songs that have everyone up and dancing.

Plaza Theatrical opens its fall season with Broadway at its show-stopping best. Hailed by many as the perfect musical comedy, this Tony-winning favorite follows a rowdy bunch of gamblers, gangsters and sassy showgirls in a wild game of chance — then love sneaks in. Set in bustling 1950s Manhattan, the beloved classic features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious ‘Adelaide’s Lament,’ and the crowd-pleasing classic ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ along with other favorites, including ‘Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat.’

Animal shelter says to ‘Adopt, don’t shop’

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

On the lookout for a new, four-legged member of the family? Officials with the Town of Hempstead say you don’t have to look any further than its Wantagh-based animal shelter.

Town officials have picked up and sheltered animals off the street since Woodrow Wilson was president, now housing dogs and cats at 3320 Beltagh Ave. It boasts one of the highest adoption rates of any animal shelter, despite being the only one inside the country’s largest township.

“Our main thing is stray animals — most of our calls are that a dog is running loose,” said Ashley Behrens, the shelter’s assistant director. “But the other thing is if someone has to move and can’t bring the pet where they’re moving, or if a family member becomes allergic.”

The animals don’t spend all of their time at the shelter, however. Very often, the animals are sent out to loving foster homes where they get to live the kind of carefree existence the rest of us envy while awaiting adoption.

“Sometimes these animals can get sick in the shelter,” Behrens said. “Cats are especially susceptible to upper respiratory infections, sometimes from the stress of being in a shelter. And it’s good to send them to a foster home to recover.”

The animals are, nevertheless, in seemingly good care at the facility, with dedicat-

ed staff and volunteers taking care of them on a daily basis. The dogs are brought outside into a yard for social interaction, and are also walked.

“We have volunteers who do a lot of hands-on training with them,” Behrens said. “We do an enrichment program for the dogs, and we always treat them to toys filled with peanut butter and such.”

Cats get a similar deal, although their days are more focused on social interaction with human volunteers. And while both dogs and cats are kept busy, their cages are cleaned.

What sets the town’s shelter apart from others is its “trap, neuter, return” — or TNR — program for cats. Many of these felines are feral, and simply too wild to be welcomed into a family’s home. But through trapping and neutering, the shelter can return these animals back to the familiar territory they found them, all while ensuring they won’t add to the exploding feral population.

“Because we are a government agency, we don’t get to choose the animals we bring in the way private shelters do,” Behrens said. “But we have a great TNR program.”

Trapping, neutering and returning cats likely plays a small part in fighting the puppy and kitten mill epidemic as well, shelter officials said. These “mills” are typically non-reputable breeders who reportedly don’t treat their bred animals with as much esteem as they should. They

tend to be known for caring more about profit than the animals, and still attract a lot of support from various pet stores looking to stay well-stocked.

But even with high adoption rates, finding homes for many of the dogs and cats at the town shelter isn’t easy. Stigma is partially to blame, with many believing shelter animals are there because they are dangerous, or for some other nefarious reason.

Yet, the vast majority of the animals taking up residence in the town shelter are there simply because they have nowhere they can go. Shelter employees evaluate the dogs and cats there regularly

for how aggressive they are around food, how they react to strangers, and how well they get along with their fellow pets.

“We give all of the information out to adopters on how these animals have done on the tests,” Behrens said. “Of course, shelter behavior isn’t always translated into the home. So that’s why we recommend a foster period for potential adopters as a trial.”

Anyone looking to give it a try can do it for just $25 by visiting the shelter at 3320 Beltagh Ave, anytime Sunday through Saturday between 9 a.m., and 5 p.m.

Delivering dollars to combat opioid addiction

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

Nassau County has nearly $70 million collecting a little dust in a bank account — but not for long. County Executive Bruce Blakeman has earmarked $2.5 million for opioid addiction treatment, and local hospitals, clinics and other community organizations should expect millions more.

“We are committed to make sure that all of the money goes toward the three goals that the money was provided for,” Blakeman told reporters last week. “That is prevention, education and treatment.”

The money was part of a $26 billion national settlement with opioid distributors last February — AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson — as well as Johnson & Johnson for what has been alleged as their role in creating the opioid addiction epidemic in the first place.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officially declared it a public health emergency in 2017 — the same year more than 600 people on Long Island died from opioid overdoses, according to a 2019 report from the Fiscal Policy Institute.

The $70 million represents just about 7 percent of the funds allocated to New York intended specifically for Nassau, first hammered out more than a year ago.

The money, Blakeman said, will go a long way to reducing the strain on health

Will Sheeline/Herald

NaSSau CouNty ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman says he’s directing nearly $2.5 million toward opioid addiction treatment centers. It’s all part of a broader $70 million the county received from the historic $26 billion nationwide settlement with opioid distributors and manufacturers, in an effort to get the opioid addiction crisis under control. care providers and addiction specialists.

The county already is working on spending another $15 million — something the county executive says he hopes can be an annual disbursement to help combat the opioid epidemic.

But although there is still a lot of money left, Blakeman says his adminis-

tration is working slowly and carefully to ensure all funds go exactly where they’re needed.

Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, representing the county’s minority caucus, emphasizing the historic importance of the donations while hoping Blakeman and Republicans might

move faster to get the $70 million distributed to those who need it most.

“I’m so glad that these opioid companies are finally being held responsible for what they’ve done to our kids,” DeRiggiWhitton said. “In my opinion, I support (Blakeman) for being careful. But I also really hope we expedite this as quickly as possible.”

Matthew Bruderman, chair of Nassau University Medical Center’s board of directors, made it clear to reporters last week that time alone hasn’t made the crisis any better in the county, Long Island, or the United States. Without funds like these, hospitals and community health organizations are ill-prepared to deal with the scope of the issue.

“We all know the opioid epidemic and drug addiction is damaging the lives of many people across the country,” Bruderman said. “NUMAC is the only hospital on Long Island that has an in-patient detox facility. (Yet), 90 percent of the time, we are at full capacity.”

Nassau County’s new health commissioner, Dr. Irina Gelman, praised the county’s commitment to improving public health, making her job much easier.

“I think this funding will be instrumental in really starting to address the issue at hand, and provide necessary services to our community,” Gelman said.

“As the county executive said, this is only the beginning. And I’m definitely looking forward to more to come.”

Ask The Architect

The exchange of money should go hand in hand with a good contract, one that protects both parties.

Payment creates good faith, and allows a company to devote its staff and resources.

It takes time to prepare plans — more than the average person realizes — due to regulations, problem-solving and a lot of onte eeper limitations. Expecting an architect to carry the costs to pay their expenses as a favor to the owner is unrealistic. People often forget that the plans prepared, signed and sealed by an architect or engineer are a part of the contract to the contractor. Plans are a critical component, because they show what is expected to be completed by the contractor. Unfortunately, many people, including owners and contractors, believe that plans are a how-to manual for building. In fact, plans represent what the results are intended to be.

Not paying a down payment, upfront, gives the architect and the contractor very little ability to commit resources, including their time, to carrying out the first steps in their parts of the process to get you a meaningful result. Everyone has bills to pay, and expenses like overhead insurances, license fees and equipment costs, aside from groceries, mortgages and taxes. Expecting anyone to fulfill the tasks you hire them for without the ability to pay their bills is the beginning of misunderstandings and miscommunication.

Most government contracts I’ve seen include major delays in payment, from months to years, where it is expected that companies that will ultimately get paid far more than what a private project would cost have to wait. This waiting creates a situation in which companies either borrow money or take money from one customer to cover the costs of another customer’s project. In essence, not paying in a timely manner but expecting results creates a Ponzi scheme that nearly every company has to develop to survive. Small businesses take money from one customer to cover costs while trying to finish and get paid by the one before.

When you delay, underpay or shortchange the people providing a service, you’re part of the whole economic roller coaster that causes many businesses in your local community to fail in the first five years. Prevent this instability by looking for reputable companies, have a good contract and accept that you are half of a commitment. Good luck!

vated, and we’re talking to three contractors. Each one wants a large amount of money to start the job.

Our architect also got more than a third up front, and we were concerned about that, too. Now the contractors want between 25 and 30 percent of the total cost, upfront, and won’t start the job without it. Why does it have to be so much, and how do we protect ourselves if they take our money and run away? Our neighbor had that happen to them. What if we hold back money? Do you have any suggestions?

he world continues to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II while welcoming a new sovereign, King Charles III. Charles waited 70 years to become king since being named the Prince of Wales — the heir apparent to the British throne.

That’s longer than any other prince or princess in the direct line. And, at 73, he is the oldest monarch crowned in British history.

Like his mother, Charles chose to keep the name given to him at birth. His grandfather Albert was the last to change MiCHAEL his regnal name, choosing George HinMAn VI to honor his father.

King Charles III is the first Charles on the throne since Charles II, who reigned for 25 years after the restoration of the British monarchy from Oliver Cromwell in 1660.

The United States, of course, has been officially separated from what was once the British Empire since the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. But I actually lived under the reign of Elizabeth II for two years when I called the small Caribbean island of Grenada home. Although

i

independent from Britain, too, Grenada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations — 56 former territories that still recognize the British monarch as head of state.

Oddly enough, however, my family has a deeper connection to the throne — that is, if longstanding legend is to be believed.

My great-great-greatgreat-great-great-great grandfather, Sgt. Edward Hinman, arrived in Boston from England in late 1649, eventually settling in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Although he and many of his descendants would help settle key parts of that colony, Sgt. Hinman rarely talked about his life before he crossed the Atlantic.

One story was popularized in the late 19th century, however, by Connecticut’s then-secretary of state, Royal R. Hinman.

In a book he published in 1856, Royal claimed that his great-grandfather had actually led the guard tasked with protecting King Charles I, who took the throne in 1624.

If that story is indeed true, my ancestor wasn’t exactly a great kingsguard. The reign of Charles I ended abruptly in 1649 when he found himself on the wrong side of an executioner’s ax during Cromwell’s revolt. But it was that war — and that exe-

i

cution — that forced Edward to flee England and seek refuge in the colonies.

It’s a fascinating story, but one I didn’t even know until the coronavirus pandemic. While I’ve always been fascinated by genealogy, I usually spent my time researching my mother’s side of the family, which has some of its own interesting history. I shied away from my father’s because no one in the family ever talked much about it.

I suspected we migrated over in the 19th century, and decided it was time to find out. As I worked my way backward through ancestors, I was shocked to discover that each passing generation was still in America.

Where I once thought I was a third- or maybe fourth-generation American, I am actually a part of the 10th generation of Hinmans here.

I also picked up some other fascinating tidbits along the way. My family moved from Connecticut to Vermont, and from there to western New York, about the same time that Royal Hinman was writing his books.

My great-great grandfather, Franklin Hinman, owned lots of farmland in Ellicottville, now probably best known as a ski resort community just south of Buffa-

f longstanding legend is to be believed, my family has a connection to the throne.

lo.

His youngest son — my great-grandfather, born when Franklin was 51 years old — was the postmaster in one of the small communities near Ellicottville. My dad was born and raised just south of there, in Salamanca, on reservation land controlled by the Seneca Nation of New York.

Despite that connection — and the fact that I still have a number of relatives in that part of the state — none of us knew that the land once owned by Franklin is now known as Hinman Valley. Well, more specifically, the Hinman Valley Wetland Complex, a 100-acre marsh and wet meadow overseen by the state’s environmental conservation and transportation departments.

As you’re reading this, I’m back home in that part of the region, and I could very well be making my first-ever visit to these lands so closely connected to my family’s history.

And I certainly hope for a successful reign of Charles III — something leaps and bounds ahead of the previous sovereigns to take his name.

But if I can make one suggestion to the king: Best to make sure your guard isn’t led by a Hinman. There isn’t good history there.

Work for Donald Trump, wind up in handcuffs

s that the scent of autumn apples in the air? No, I believe that’s the smell of subpoenas, dozens of subpoenas served in recent weeks to Trump employees, former employees, White House staff and basically anyone and everyone whose behavior, emails, texts and experiences might help illuminate the dark corners of the former Trump administration.

Who lurks in those dark corners? According to early reports, there are big-time grifters like Steve Bannon, now indicted for fraud, money laundering, conspiracy RAnDi and scheming in KREiss connection with raising money for We Build the Wall Inc., the former guy’s plan to keep out Mexican immigrants.

Bannon, long associated with Trump, ran a media empire, and now he’s in handcuffs, awaiting trial. Even a degree from the Harvard Business School didn’t make Bannon smart enough to steer clear of Trump.

The Trump curse goes way back. During his tenure, I wrote, “If the White House calls, just hang up. Put down your

phone, run out of your house, change your number and move to a remote town where you can live off the grid for the rest of your life.”

Sadly the words were prophetic. Many people would be better off today if they had never been drawn into Trump’s orbit.

Ronnie Jackson, the presidential physician from central casting, might have continued to serve presidents for decades, enjoying the perks and power that access to the White House confers. But Trump decided to promote him to secretary of the Veterans Administration. Unvetted, inexperienced and apparently fatally flawed, Jackson rapidly crashed and burned as a prospective secretary.

Rob Porter, Hollywood handsome and popular among his colleagues, was enjoying his high-profile job as the president’s top aide. Porter was a rising star until the Trump spotlight revealed his dark side.

Two of his wives went public with accusations of mental and physical abuse.

There were photos. Porter took the exit.

Tom Price — do you even remember him? He was the secretary of Health and Human Services for seven months. He might have continued his career else-

M

where without incident, but in the Trump administration, he took 25 private flights in a few months, spent like he was queen for a day and resigned amid charges of indiscriminately using taxpayer dollars for his personal benefit. Gone.

I imagine Paul Manafort has mixed feelings, at best, regarding his association with Trump Inc. Manafort, charged by the feds with various financial crimes, might have continued living the high life, consorting with oligarchs and lining his pockets, if not for Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency. Under the scrutiny that accompanies high office, Manafort proved to be a liability to Trump, and vice versa. He served time in jail and, in 2020, was pardoned by Trump.

Michael Cohen, the former guy’s longtime personal lawyer, was known for his fierce loyalty to Trump. For decades he basked in the celebrity surrounding his boss, and ran interference for him.

Maybe some people didn’t like his style, but his boss did, and that’s what counted.

That was then. Now Cohen is rehabilitating his reputation after serving jail time and losing his law license.

Among the other movers and shakers

any folks would be better off today if they had never been drawn into his orbit.

who got in serious legal trouble are Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s CFO, Mike Flynn, Rick Gates, Ken Kurson, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Corey Lewandowski, Elliot Broidy, Imaad Zuberi, Rep. Chris Collins, and so on.

Space limitations prevent me from listing all the miscreants associated with Trump. Some went to jail, some got pardoned by Trump, and some never got over the trauma of the Trump White House years. I do wonder if the individuals were corrupt, and therefore drawn to the Trump enterprises. Were they rotten apples, or was the barrel corrupt?

What stands out is the number of people who bent and broke the law in the service of Trump, his businesses and his administration.

Who came out unscathed? Richer?

Rewarded by a job well done? Only Trump has so far avoided accountability for his alleged misdeeds. He’s still rich, he plays golf, he eats well and he is free.

He enjoys all the perks of being a former president. Many of the people who served him are still digging their way out of legal troubles.

As the Department of Justice lets loose its flight of subpoenas, we will see if the Trump curse finally comes home to roost.

Closing one chapter, but preparing for the next

“t

he pandemic is over.”

With those words last weekend, President Biden declared an end to the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 6.5 million people, and more than 1 million in the United States.

Of course, the pandemic won’t truly be over until the World Health Organization says so. But even if public health officials do determine that we’re out of this crisis, the virus that causes Covid-19 is still out there. It’s still infecting people. It’s still killing people. It’s still creating long-term health effects for many who contract it.

Still, to feel like life may finally return to normal is a relief. It’s been more than 900 days since New York first shut down as Covid cases exploded. Schools and businesses shuttered. Streets emptied.

Many people found themselves isolated from the rest of the world, connecting only through Zoom and depending on television specials like “Haircut Night in America” to help with basic tasks for which we once depended on others.

Now that we can sit in restaurants again, attend classes, and pay for someone else to cut our hair, it’s hard not to be grateful that the worst is behind us. But society has a long road to recovery — both economically and socially. Supply chains remain disrupted, fueling inflation. Many people are still out of work, even as unemployment returns to pre-

letters Is it all Trump’s fault, Jerry Kremer?

To the Editor: Jer ry Kremer’s column “Thoughts on saving the two-party system” (Sept. 8-14) expresses a valuable goal, but his analysis — the usual, and now tiresome, “It’s all Trump’s fault” — misses the cause.

Of course it would great if, as in past generations, there was ideological room in both parties for a variety of viewpoints. Richard Nixon — another bête noir of Mr. Kremer’s party — warned of this long ago, in 1959, when he said, “I think one of the attributes of our political system has been that we have avoided generally violent swings in administrations from one extreme to the other. And the reason we have avoided that is that in both parties, there has been room for a broad spectrum of opinion.”

Of course, Mr. Kremer’s party thought that Nixon was the worst

pandemic levels.

Polarization — especially the political variety — remains sharper than ever.

And it’s only been in the past couple of weeks that we could officially stop wearing masks on public transportation, although many stopped doing it months ago.

As the pandemic winds down, it’s never too soon to start planning for the next one. Sure, this has felt like a once-ina-lifetime event, but it really isn’t. When we first learned of Covid, the world was already in the grip of another pandemic: HIV/AIDS, which has killed more than 40 million people.

Before that, we had two other smaller flu pandemics, in the late 1950s and late 1960s, each of which killed up to 4 million people. And then there was the 1918 flu, which is believed to have claimed the lives of as many as 100 million people around the globe.

If there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s that Mother Nature has no shortage of infectious diseases. Even in the wake of Covid, we’ve been reminded about the dangers we face by the recent monkeypox epidemic, and the fear that there may be a resurgence of polio.

One thing that should be crystal clear by now, however, is that pandemics and epidemics do not need to be a way of life.

Many of them are preventable, or at worst, manageable. But that means better

monitoring of hot spots where deadly viruses can jump from animals to humans. Identifying new public health concerns quickly. And then taking them seriously.

With false alarms in the past like Ebola and SARS, it’s no wonder so many of us had become complacent by the time the coronavirus rolled around. We can’t let that happen again. What we have built as a society is too important. We are too important.

There are some scholars who are convinced that nothing has had a greater impact on our history than pandemics and epidemics. The bubonic plague, for example, cut down half of the global population, by some accounts.

But what you might not know is that that plague didn’t ravage the planet just once — it turned living into a literal coin flip twice. We’re most familiar with the Black Death of the 14th century, which killed as many as 200 million people. But there was also the Plague of Justinian in the sixth century, which was proportionately just as deadly.

We can wear masks when needed. We can avoid contact when asked. And we can get vaccines when they’re available.

But our true first line of defense is our leaders. And it’s hoped that no men or women who succeed Biden will ever again find themselves needing to declare a devastating pandemic finally over.

opinions

his is a busy time of year for families. Getting the children back to school and focused on homework is a big challenge for any parent.

And there’s another group of parents who are physically and emotionally challenged. They are the parents of collegebound students, many of whom will be traveling from coast to coast and in between, trying to find a college that is suitable for their son or daughter.

I’ve experienced the college hunt four times in my life, and I can attest to the fact JerrY that it is a daunting task. Unless kremer you are fortunate enough to have kids who know exactly where they want to go to college, you either are or will be a road warrior.

Most future college students have highereducation wish lists that are pages long.

They have some notion about what type of school they want to attend, but after one or two campus visits, their thinking may move dramatically in another direction.

My search for the right colleges was easy in the case of three of our daughters. All of them had one major choice, and we concentrated on how to please the admissions committees of those chosen schools. The fourth daughter had no idea where she wanted to go, but she had a list of 12 possible schools. Because of her uncertainty, we drove to campuses in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. After all that mileage, she chose a college in New York.

During our exhausting trek around the Northeast, I asked her what criteria she was using in picking potential schools. Her two major sources of information were U.S. News & World Report and the Barron’s guide. I mention these resources because of the current news about how U.S. News recently downgraded Columbia University, based on faulty numbers provided by the school on, for example, the degrees of its professors and the size of its classes.

Those reports shined a spotlight on the world of publications that high school juniors and seniors use to select colleges.

There is no doubt that Columbia Uni-

T

he process was difficult enough even when you could trust U.S. News’s rankings.

LeTTers thing that ever happened. But what about the unquestionably moderate John McCain and Mitt Romney, both of whom were falsely denounced as extremists?

Well, the Democrats didn’t want McCain or Romney, so they got Trump, a virtual creation of the left, which is now doing everything possible to keep its creation alive.

Plastic pollution continues to plague us To the editor: We’ve all heard the warnings about cleaning up our trash at the beach and recycling, but it’s easy to feel helpless, or that it’s a problem so distant that there’s no point in worrying about it. Well, here on long Island, plastic pollution affects us directly. Not only does it make a mess of our beautiful beaches, but it also threatens wildlife and our vital marine ecosystems. long Island is an extremely important estuary, a breeding ground for fish and other marine wildlife. This means that how we treat our beaches is of utmost importance, and affects fisheries around the world. Historically, however, we lead wasteful lifestyles that lead to plastic pollution, which threatens our ecosystems.

versity is one of the top schools in the nation. It offers a wide variety of programs, and many of its graduates go on to distinguished careers. But Columbia fudged the numbers, and an alert faculty member brought that fudging to wider attention. That created a great deal of negative publicity for the school that got national attention. The underlying question is, how reliable are such sources as a guide to your child’s selection of a college?

According to Dr. Robert Scott, a past president of Adelphi University, U.S. News & World Report is one of the “shakers of salt.”

Scott believes that many colleges provide questionable data to U.S. News, and that the rankings that emerge are highly questionable.

He goes as far as to say that some schools manipulate their numbers in the hope of rising in the rankings. Once a school on the list gets a higher rating, it will market the news in the hope of attracting students who rely heavily on those ratings.

Reed College a well-regarded college in Oregon, took on U.S. News in the 1990s, refusing to submit any data to the magazine. It no doubt lost some potential stu-

dents, but today its reputation is that of a stellar school.

Scott suggests that there are many other reliable college guides that provide meaningful information for aspiring entrants. He cites the Fiske Guide to Colleges as one example of a publication that shows students how their aspirations fit with particular schools. If you search the internet, you will find multiple sources that detail colleges’ course offerings, safety, campus culture and surrounding communities. Don’t pay too much attention to all the student postings, because some are sour grapes due to bad test grades.

Choosing a college is a major decision for any family, especially given the cost of higher education. Using as many sources of information as possible may be a little confusing, but relying on one or two of the college guidebooks can prove to be a major mistake. Kudos to Scott for speaking out as an expert on this volatile subject.

every plastic bag we use, every pair of plastic sunglasses, every phone case we discard takes thousands of years to break down, and usually ends up in our oceans.

Besides ruining the natural beauty of our beaches, plastic pollution can have extremely detrimental effects on wildlife, from small fish and shrimp ingesting deadly microplastics to sea turtles and seals getting caught in plastic fishing nets. The population decreases that plastic pollution causes also have the potential to collapse our marine ecosystems, driving away the marine mammals we are beginning to see on the Island for the first time in years.

Although it’s easy to feel helpless in these situations, there are many ways for long Islanders to prevent plastic pollution from getting into our oceans. There are many things you can do in your home, from recycling to reducing your own plastic use and opting for more sustainable alternatives. The New York Marine Rescue Center, a nonprofit rescue-and-release organization, helps treat the many animals that suffer the consequences of plastic pollution, and hosts beach cleanups, whale and seal-watching events, and even an annual 5K. The center is always accepting donations and new volunteers, so we can work together and prevent plastic pollution from destroying our beaches.
