We learned we’re stronger together

Coalition launches ‘Lock, Inventory, Dispose’ drive by JeFFreY beSSeN jbessen@liherald.com

Two years after its founding, the Saving Lives Five Towns Drug and Alcohol Coalition is launching a new campaign to “Lock, Inventory, Dispose” of prescription medications in an effort to reduce access to drugs. “Prescription data shows that if drug users are able to get used or leftover substances such as

Vicodin or Valium, they either sell it or use it,” said Susan Blauner, an expert in substance abuse treatment who is the coalition’s director. “Because we’ve learned that if someone has an issue with substance abuse, they’re not going to stop.” To keep people from having easier access to drugs, even if they are legal, the coalition launched a major mailing that is being sent next week to public

and private organizations and religious institutions to increase awareness of the LID campaign, which encourages people to lock the medications they need, inventory what they have and dispose of those they don’t need or that have expired. Blauner noted that people are known to attend open houses — when homes are for sale — in Continued on page 17

The coronavirus pandemic sw e p t a c r o s s t h e U n i t e d S t at e s, i n cl u d i n g t h e F ve Towns like a wildfire over the past 18 months, killing more than 700,000 of our fellow Americans. We mour n each and every one of these precious lives taken too soon. In recent months, however, we have begun to emerge from this nationwide catastrophe, and because of the Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines, we are seeing a glimmer of hope. Though the Covid-19 infection and death rates h ave t i c ke d u p recently, we are far better off than we were one year ago. We also learned an important lesson during this crisis: We are stronger together. Throughout the pandemic, all of us at the Herald have strived to report the news of the day swiftly and accurately. Suddenly last spring, we were no longer a weekly newspaper. We were a daily, publishing the news online at liherald. com and in our newsletter.

Full-day universal pre-K at Hewlett-Woodmere lmargaria@liherald.com

A tuition-free, full day pre-kindergarten program at Hewlett-Woodmere’s Franklin Early Childhood Center has received an additional $540,000 in grants from the state and was approved by the school district’s Board of Education to begin on Nov. 1. The district’s pre-school now has the option to provide free, full-day schooling to the community at a significantly reduced cost to the taxpayer after receiving the additional Universal Pre-Kindergarten state grant and a new four-year allocation under the American Rescue Plan, which is pandemic-related federal government funding to offset the program’s cost for four years at $383,628 per year. The program was approved by a five-to-two board vote at the Sept. 22 meeting. Existing funding of $332,286 from the state must be used before the district can access the money. Existing funding covers 102 half-day program slots and 51 full-day slots, of which 40 half-day slots and 31 full-day slots have been filled. These half-day seats under existing funding may remain, be converted to fullday seats, or become a hybrid program, while new funding must be used for full day seats only. “A free full-day pre-kindergarten program is a wonderful opportunity for families in the district,” Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. stated in a news release on the new program. “The extended school day will better prepare students for kindergarten and beyond. We are thrilled to be able to offer this program at no additional cost to our community.” The district can now offer a free, full-day pre-kinder-

FECC PRE-K StudENt Samara Castellon. garten program for up to 161 students. The new money covers 100 full day-seats at $5,400 per student. Both old and new funding must be shared with community-based organizations such as Our Kids Place and Lev Chana, the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach’s early childhood center in Hewlett Bay Park. CBOs are given $54,000, enough

for 10 students. This leaves 90 full-day seats for HewlettWoodmere pre-school students. Effective through Oct.15, current students are provided with the option to rollover into the new program or remain at half-day, as part of the PLUS program, which is tuition based and full-day, students will receive a prorated refund. New students had to be registered by Oct. 7. Current enrollment into the FECC pre-K program, a full week half-day program financially supported by the state and school district, has declined while tuition for the PLUS program is becoming more costly, with tuition projected to increase up to $6,870 in the 2024-2025 school year. “The program is free, thereby allowing them to register their children without having to worry about tuition,” said Barbara Giese, a district spokeswoman. “Their children who participate in the program will be better prepared for kindergarten, will develop increased motor and socialization skills, and have a greater sense of independence, among others.” The district will also reap the benefits of full day pre-K, including increased district enrollment, officials said. Some parents attended the Sept. 22 meeting to express their concerns about the sustainability of the new program’s funding. Once you implement something, it is very hard to take away,” said one district mother, who declined to be identified. The board said it will review the program in four years and reassess.

Checking in on the 5 Towns Covid-19 cases By JEFFREY BESSEN

Five towns Covid infection numbers

jbessen@liherald.com

Though Nassau County has an adult vaccination rate of 90 percent receiving at least one dose it remains in New York’s red zone – more than 100 new Covid-19 cases per 100,000 people. Five Towns Covid cases have fluctuated in the past two months. In August, new infections seesawed from 81 to 113. Last month, new cases shot up to 256 for one week then slid down to 49 the following week (see chart). Inside the first month of school, which has included a few off days for holidays, the Lawrence School District has reported nine Covid cases. Three each at the high school, middle and elementary school. The district returned to in-person learning-only this year. Saying that nine is “low compared to some other districts,” Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said Lawrence does not plan to revise its current Covid safety protocols, which includes everyone needing to wear masks inside the school buildings and after two cases forced the varsity football team to forfeit a game a proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test was required for all staff. “We are fortunate that people are following protocol,” Pedersen stated in an email. “Most importantly staying out of the building if experiencing symptoms. The few cases are unrelated to one another. As of Oct. 1 no reported close contact of a case has tested positive.” Pedersen said that superintendents are in constant contact with each other and the

Contingency plans are in place, she said, if the district needs to suspend in-person learning. “Yes we have the capacity that was built last year,” Pedersen stated. “All K-12 students and staff have individual devices.” Hewlett-Woodmere School District is one those district with higher numbers. As of Oct. 1, 23 students testing positive and a half dozen teachers. All students, staff and visitors are required to wear masks while

indoors, no matter their vaccination status. Masks are optional outside on school property. Masks are also required for all students and staff on the school buses. “We are following all CDC, American Academy of Pediatrics, and DoH guidelines at all of our schools,” interim Deputy Superintendent John Hogan wrote in an email. “We will adjust our protocols when/ if these guidelines change.” The district started the school year with

in-person learning. Quarantined students receive remote instruction until they can return to school. Hogan noted that the district is prepared to move to online learning should the district need to temporarily suspend in-person instruction at any of its buildings. A few of the private schools in the Five Towns have had varied numbers. The Brandeis School and the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach have zero reported Covid cases as of Oct. 1. The Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School has had six students test positive and Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys had one teacher test positive. Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls has not reported any figures, according to the state’s Covid Report Card.

Novello gets five years probation, paying restitution

October 7, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Hewlett Harbor resident John Novello, a former deputy commissioner for the Town of Hempstead Buildings Department, was sentenced on Sept. 30 to five years probation for stealing more than $59,000 from the Cedarhurst Republican Committee and in another matter for mortgage fraud. Arrested in 2019 for the money theft from the local GOP committee, Novello was originally charged with grand larceny second-degree, four counts of grand larceny third-degree, two counts of petit larceny and four counts of a violation of Election Law. On July 23, Novello, 53, who at one time was chief of staff for State Assemblywoman Melissa Miller, pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree grand larceny. He is also required to pay $41,000 in restitution to the Nassau County Republican Committee. Novello was also found guilty of making what the Nassau County District Attorney’s office called “false representations to a commercial lender to secure more than $1 million in loans that he used to finance the purchase and remodeling of his family home.” “As a public official and political party leader, John Novello was entrusted with serving the people of Hempstead and leading his Republican club, but instead he used donor funds as his personal piggy bank and made a fake company to scam a lender into giving him a million dollar loan,” Acting District Attorney Joyce Smith stated in a news release. “We have no tolerance for abuses like these in Nassau County, and because of this prosecution, he will be held accountable for these criminal betrayals of trust.” From January 2016 to August 2019, Novello, then a

Herald file photo

HEwlEtt HaRBoR RESidENt John Novello was sentenced to five years probation for stealing money and mortgage fraud. deputy commissioner for the Town of Hempstead Buildings Department and former executive leader of the Cedarhurst Republican Committee, withdrew more than $20,000 in cash from the committee’s campaign bank account for personal use, District Attorney officials said.

Novello withdrew cash from the account more than 40 times in amounts of up to $2,000. He was the only signatory on the committee’s account, and deposited some of the cash into his personal and business bank accounts. He also stole more than $37,000 from donations to the committee’s annual golf tournament fundraiser and the Mayor’s Cup in 2018 and 2019. He transferred a total of more than $22,000 from the 2018 Mayor’s Cup donations and more than $15,000 from the 2019 Mayor’s Cup donations to personal and business bank accounts Novello spent the money on home mortgage payments, a trip to a winery, luxury candies, entertainment, gas, restaurants and groceries. Campaign finance records show that this committee has failed to report any of their expenditures or donations as required by law, DA officials said. In a separate matter, between August 2017 and March 2019, Novello made false statements on applications for commercial loans that he ultimately used to purchase and renovate his primary residence in Hewlett Harbor. In 2018, he ran for Hewlett Harbor trustee and lost. Novello created a limited liability corporation with no legitimate business purpose in order to secure loans for more than $1 million from the commercial lender and signed affidavits swearing that the property he was buying was an investment property exclusively, and that neither he nor his family would be using the property as a residence. Despite making those statements, Novello used the money he obtained to finance the purchase and remodeling of his permanent home. He also used money stolen from the Cedarhurst Republican Committee to pay his mortgage. The commercial lender does not finance consumer loans and only granted the loan to Novello because of the representations he made.

Cedarhurst nonprofit comes to the aid of a cause

October 7, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Inspired by one employee who lost his father to colon cancer and supported by other co-workers, including one who lost her mother to breast cancer at least 15 staff members of the Cedarhurst-based nonprofit Labor & Industry for Education will take part in the Colon Cancer Coalition’s “Get your Rear in Gear” 5K Run in Manhattan’s Riverside Park on Oct. 17. Alex Simon, LIFE’s customer service manager lost his father, Victor, to colon cancer in 2000 and the death he said was a shock; first because his dad was only in his 60s and second because after the diagnosis, Alex learned that the disease is one of the more preventable cancers if detected early enough. “The potential is when caught early there is a high curability rate,” Simon said. “I have never done much advocating, but for people of a certain age they should get a colonoscopy to get tested.” For the uninitiated, a colonoscopy is a medical exam used to detect changes or abnormalities in the large intestine, known as the colon, and rectum. LIFE Trust Counselor Danielle Scarpulla said fighting all cancers and increasing awareness is “near and dear to my heart,” especially after losing her mother, Francine, to breast cancer in 2016. “Any type of cancer effects a family,” Scarpulla said, “I’ve always done walks.” Simon said his dad was a “typical man’s man” who like many men did not historically visit the

Supervisor

doctor and noted that a majority of men make excuses not to go. “When you have the ability to go, go,” he said. “Don’t be scared of the test. I’ve had and it was the naptime in my opinion. It gives you peace.” Thinking of all the milestones his father missed, he does not want that taken from him. Courtney Plush, LIFE’s Trust Department manager, said she was not surprised that staff volunteered to take part either a run or walk participant or to man the LIFE water station during the race. “[Alex] mentioned always getting together to give back,” she said. “As a nonprofit we just decided to give back and this is very close to his heart. We decided on doing it here in New York and that everyone wanted to do it was great.” That nearly every employee is involved is a testament to the family-like environment that Scarpulla said envelopes the LIFE office and something she felt since her job interview nearly two years ago. “The vibe was very, very friendly and Alex and Courtney had that presence.” For Simon, a native Californian, he said he is, “proud of my team and it’s very touching,” that many will be involved in the event. “They are more friends than co-workers, Simon said. Labor & Industry For Education is a nonprofit providing a variety services to underserved communities across New York state for more 30 years. For more information, go to www.lifetech.org. Registration for the Colon Cancer Coalition’s “Get your Rear in Gear” 5K Run ends at midnight on Oct. 13. Colorectal cancer patients and survivors can sign up for free.

Nassau D.A. candidates trade accusations By James Bernstein and scott Brinton jbernstein@liherald.com, sbrinton@liherald.com

The race for Nassau district attorney has quickly become one of the most hotly contested in the county, with Democratic State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, of Long Beach, and Republican Anne Donnelly, of Garden City, trading blistering verbal barbs in a series of TV commercials. The spots, running on CNN and other cable networks, began three weeks ago, when Donnelly, a 3 0 - ye a r c a r e e r prosecutor in the Nassau district attorney’s office, aired one featuring a Syracuse woman, identified in the commercial as Jennifer P. The woman, Jennifer Payne, said her daughter’s killer was released without bail because of the state’s bailreform law, which Kaminsky voted for in the Senate. The State Legislature first passed the bailrefor m measure in 2019, restricting anne Donnelly, the the use of cash bail and pretrial detention in misdemeanor and nonviolent felony cases. It did, though, give judges discretion to assign bail in almost all violent felony cases and certain nonviolent cases, such as witness tampering, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. In Donnelly’s commercial, Payne holds a framed photograph of her daughter, Sarah Tombs, who was 22 at the time that she died. The man who allegedly shot her, Darien Shellman, then 24, a mall security guard who was a Navy veteran with no prior criminal record, was charged with second-degree (unintentional) manslaughter after, he claimed, his gun went

off when Tombs, his girlfriend at the time, grabbed the weapon and a bullet struck her in the head, killing her, according to Syracuse.com. Shellman had been held in jail on $75,000 cash bail or $150,000 bond following Tombs’s death in April 2019, but was released on Jan. 9, 2020, under the new bail-reform law, eight days after it took e f f e c t , a c c o r d i n g t o S y r a c u s e. com and CNYCentral.com. Under the original bail-reform law, unintentional manslaughter was among the alleged crimes for which defendants were automatically released. The Legislature amended the law in April 2020, a little more than three months after the measure took effect, to include a greater number of crimes fo r wh i ch b a i l could be assigned, including any alleged crimes in which someone had been killed, according to the Courtesy Anne Donnelly Brennan Center. Although bail Republican candidate. could have been reassigned in this case, it never was, and Shellman recently accepted a plea agreement for which he will serve no prison time, according to Syracuse.com. Kaminsky noted that the district attorney who offered the plea deal is a Republican. Kaminsky has repeatedly said he voted for the bail-reform bill, but was not a prime sponsor, and he did not write it, as Republicans, including Donnelly, have incorrectly claimed. He also emphasized that he voted for the amended law giving judges back the discretion to assign bail in crimes such as second-degree manslaughter. Kaminsky recently rolled out a commercial of his own, saying Donnelly had

toDD KaminsKy, the Democratic candidate for Nassau County district attorney. “botched” a case involving a woman accused of plotting to kill her husband, saying Donnelly had lied to the judge in the case. At one point in the 2010 case against Susan Williams, a Garden City mother, a mistrial was declared after a taped phone conversation between Williams and her daughter was erroneously played for a jury. In the commercial, Kaminsky blamed Donnelly for the error, and said she had changed an agreement sent to the judge. Williams was ultimately found guilty in the case, but Kaminsky stressed that there “was a mistrial. That’s a serious thing.” Asked for a response, Donnelly wrote in an email, “It is no surprise that [Kaminsky] would lie about my unblemished record as a prosecutor. It is sad that Senator Kaminsky is embarrassing himself this way, and the voters always see through a politician’s lies.” So far in the campaign, Kaminsky has emphasized his law-enforcement background. In 2008, he joined the U.S. attorney’s office for the Eastern District of New York, in Brooklyn, and worked for six years as an assistant U.S. attorney.

There he became acting deputy chief of the Public Integrity Section. He had been an assistant district attorney in the Queens County D.A.’s office, prosecuting domestic violence cases, robberies, shootings and other violent crimes. Donnelly resigned from the Nassau County district attorney’s office to run for the top job, as she was required to do, but she has emphasized her extensive law-enforcement background. She was most recently deputy chief of the office’s Organized Crime and Rackets Bureau. She was also liaison to the Nassau County Correctional Facility. She formerly oversaw public corruption trials as acting chief of the public corruption bureau, once served as the deputy chief of the economic crimes bureau and was a senior trial assistant in the rackets bureau, as well as a felony-screening supervisor. In the most recent financial filing, Kaminsky said he had raised $1.7 million for his campaign. A spokesman for Donnelly said she had raised more than $386,000. Both Kaminsky and Donnelly said they planned to run more TV commercials in the coming weeks.

Publication: Nassau is America’s safest county Nassau County has been named the “Safest Community in America” by U.S. News & World Report for the second straight year. The publication’s ranking is based on crime, public safety capacity and injuries. Individual metrics on which counties were assessed included violent crime rate, property crime rate, vehicle crash fatality rate, the share of public safety professionals within a population, and per capita spending on health and emergency services. Crime in Nassau has continued to decline to historic lows in recent years, down 10.5 percent over the past year and 36 percent over the past decade. Over the last 12 months, homicides have dropped 22.2 percent; bur-

hile crime has spiked in other parts of the country, Nassau County is safer than ever.

Nassau County executive glaries, 15 percent; and grand larcenies, 11 percent. “While crime has spiked in other parts of the country, Nassau County is safer than ever,” County Execu-

tive Laura Curran, a Democrat who is up for re-election, said. “Nassau’s success in holding crime down shows that intelligence-led, community-oriented policing works. It also shows that Nassau has the finest Police Department in the nation.” Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said, “The hard-working, dedicated men and women, both sworn and civilian, of this Police Department, along with our Intelligence-led Policing Model, have brought our crime rate to historically low levels over the past 10 years. A 31 percent drop in major crime over the past 10 years, combined with another 7.4 percent year-todate, is a true testament to the excellent work being done daily.”

OBITUARY By Scott Brinton sbrinton@liherald.com

Howard Weitzman, Nassau County’s comptroller from 2002 to 2009 who was known for challenging establishment politics through the power of the audit during this time in office, died Sept. 27 of a rare blood disorder called amyloidosis. He was 75. Born in Brooklyn in 1945, Weitzman was known as a loving husband to his wife of 52 years, Suzanne, and father to their daughter, Catherine Diamond, and sons Peter and Matthew Weitzman. Howard Weitzman was raised in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn and later Laurelton, Queens. He attended Brooklyn Technical High School and went on to graduate from Queens Colle ge with a de g ree in accounting, becoming a certified public accountant. Weitzman was said to have “reveled” in his role as “Nassau’s fiscal watchdog” when he was comptroller. He was also known for his personal approach to politics, holding town hall meetings in houses of worship and schools to meet with constituents from across Nassau to hear their concerns. His local approach to county politics stemmed color from his time version

Weitzman had also been a board member of the American Jewish Committee, a treasurer of Temple Israel of Great Neck and a board member of the United Community Fund of Great Neck. An avid adventurer, he traveled the world with his family, with he and his wife taking trips to Cambodia, Australia and Italy when their children were grown. He was also an avid boater who was a member of the Shelter Bay Yacht Club. In addition to his wife and children, he is survived by a sister, Leslie Kornfeld, and her husband, Edward; four grandchildren, Leo, Max, Morris and Ema, and many cousins, nieces and nephews. A funeral service was held last Thursday at Temple Israel of Great Neck, with burial following at Montefiore Cemetery in Springfield Gardens, Queens.

Herald Inside LI Webinar fights fears with facts Keeping our loved ones healthy and out of harm’s way— especially the senior members of our communities — has always been a priority, but perhaps never more so than during the coronavirus pandemic. Throughout this unprecedented time we’ve faced new challenges, constant changes and a perpetual wave of questions. So the Herald Inside LI webinar “Keeping Your Loved Ones Safe” brought together a panel of local experts on Sept. 30 to help find answers. The webinar was produced by RichnerLIVE and sponsored by Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation, Emerge, Harbor House, Oyster Bay Manor and Glen Cove Hospital Northwell Health. Dr. John Colletta, Dr. Usman Khan, Madeleine Moritz, Melissa Schumacher and Erika Weber gathered virtually to share their insights and expertise on topics ranging from safety protocols in hospitals and emergency departments to special precautions for patients with dementia in skilled nursing and rehabilitation centers. “We understand that it causes a lot of anxiety for people to come” to the emergency department, Colletta, the Glen Cove Hospital Emergency Department chair. “What we have seen is people are holding off on their medical care. They’re just not going.” No one should put off a trip to the emergency room, or even a regular doctor’s visit

and physical therapy and rehabilitation, he said. “A lot of families have put off coming to the skilled nursing facility after a stay at the hospital for fear that the nursing home has exposure and their loved one now, who was in the hospital, may be better off going home,” added Moritz, administrator at the Glen Cove Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. Schumacher, director of business development at the Oyster Bay Senior Campus, noted that such fears have also extended to the assisted living world. At the height of the pandemic, she said, “unless there was a true crisis, families were holding off because of the fear of contracting Covid . . . in congregant living, but also the inability to visit their loved ones.” As the panelists reviewed the protocols in place at each of their facilities—whether they be for handling unvaccinated patients or those who have Covid, ensuring safe visits from family members, cleaning processes for high-touch surfaces, adapting social experiences for those in assisted living—the clearest takeaway was the importance of communication — of knowing where to go for the most current information and finding the right experts to ask.

Using writing to adjust and grow in high school By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

A Hewlett High School junior who joined the school’s Spectrum Newspaper club in her first year to ease the adjustment from middle school quickly gained an editorship position as a sophomore and now is also the student columnist for the Herald’s Hewlett Happenings column. Hiral Chavre, who became co-assistant editor of the Hewlett High’s Spectrum newspaper in her sophomore year, said she enjoys writing and keeps up to date on emerging technologies, writing relevant articles on the online platform Medium. She was also part of the middle school newspaper club. The high school’s newspaper club is open to anyone, however by exhibiting commitment and leadership qualities, Chavre has risen to an editorship. Math teacher and Spectrum co-adviser Rick Royals recognizes her journalistic talent. “Hiral does a great job for Spectrum,” Royals said, “She is great with deadlines, editing her writers’ articles and is on track to be our news editor.” Spectrum, which has captured several awards over the years from the New York Press Association in the its high school category, releases seven issues per year, roughly one issue every six weeks, about news within the school and across the world. “It is this centralized news source for students to learn about what’s going on in school, as well as in the world, and I think it’s just really a convenient way to help inform the student body,” Chavre said.

She said relationships have formed with her peers in the club, which is made up of roughly 20 students at the editor and assistant editor level, with an additional 20 being writers, artists and photographers. “A lot of people look forward to it,” Chavre said about the publication, “There’s always a lot of people interested, contributing to this. We have photo, art -so many different departments that all come together to make it work, along with our advisers.” After being promoted to the assistanteditor position, Chavre’s ambitions did not stop. She heard about one of her peers writing for the Nassau Herald in the past. Exhibiting the initiative she has showed at the Spectrum, Chavre contacted the Nassau Herald and earned the gig as a student columnist. Her first column appeared in the Sept. 23 edition. Both Spectrum advisers, Royals and English teacher Rosemarie Abrigani, were not surprised by the ambitions of their student. “We would imagine that Hiral will make the most of the opportunity,” Royals said. “We have no doubt that she will bring what she learns from her experience with the Herald to share and apply to Spectrum.” Abrigani said that Chavre’s editorial skills have been an asset to the club. “Hiral has been a dedicated, necessary part of Spectrum,” Abrigani said. “It comes as no surprise that she would earn a column in the Herald. Hiral will be able to touch the lives of community members as she does for our school community.”

October 7, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

Five Towns coalition battles substance abuse order to steal prescription drugs, with one person speaking to the real estate agent while another rifles through the medicine chest. Older people could also use the inventory sheet to keep track of their prescription medications, coalition Supervisor Cathy Bryne said, given the increase in the misuse of medications among seniors. Founded in 2019, the coalition operates under the auspices of the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC, the UJA Federation and the Mazer Family Fund. It was an awarded a five-year, $125,000 grant from the federal Department of Health and Human Services last year. It is made up of community leaders from business, education, government, health care and law enforcement as well as parents and young people with knowledge of substance abuse. Byrne, a gerontologist and a registered nurse, said she modeled the group after the coalition in her home community of Rockville Centre. “In the Five Towns, I went to different rabbis and congregations and saw the need for this, because of substance abuse and teens in crisis,” Byrne explained. “I meet individually with a dozen rabbis and explained what we’re doing. We developed, recruited and reached out to establish important relationships.” To accomplish the coalition’s mission

Courtesy Saving Lives Five Towns Drug & Alcohol Coalition

The Saving LiveS Five Towns Drug and Alcohol Coalition is unveiling a new campaign, “Lock, Inventory, Dispose.” From left were coalition Director Susan Blauner, Supervisor Cathy Byrne and assistant Marisa Ruggiero. of “bringing about community awareness to address youth mental health and addiction issues and to reduce youth drug and alcohol misuse through education, media advocacy, increased enforcement and changes in policies,” relationships were forged with the Five Towns Premier

Nursing Home and Rehabilitation, the Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association, the Hewlett-Lawrence Soccer Club, the Lawrence School District, the Village of Lawrence, Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital, the Nassau County Police Department and the Temp Group. The

coalition also works with the volunteer ambulance corps Hatzalah, the National Guard and Northwell Health. David Friedman, president of the HWBA, said that bringing all the different community institutions, organizations and substance-abuse experts together in the coalition is terrific to help “mitigate the damage caused by alcohol and drugs,” along with the other “negative effects” of abuse. The LID program, Friedman said, is critical, because people need to know they can’t just toss drugs into the trash or leave them around where there is a risk that children could find them. “The last thing you want is a child finding a bottle [of medication] and thinking it’s candy,” Friedman said, adding that the coalition also aims to alert law enforcement on where vaping products and tobacco are being sold to minors. “We want to strengthen the entire program and be able to move forward.” Medical drop boxes have been placed at the CVS at 128 Washington Ave. in Cedarhurst, at the CVS at 44 North Central Ave. in Valley Stream, at the NCPD’s 4th Precinct, at 1699 Broadway in Hewlett, and at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream/Northwell Health, at 900 Franklin Ave. in Valley Stream. On Oct. 24, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., the coalition will hold a Take Back Drugs day at the Hatzalah station at 724 W. Broadway in Woodmere, with balloons for children and raffles.

A friend is a blessing from God

SAVE THE DATE!

Somehow the question is always asked: What is a friend?

CHARLES & HEATHER FAZZINO

A friend is someone who races to your aid in time of crisis. A friend hears your cry, however muffled, extends a hand into the void, confident that you’ll reach out and grab it. A friend never lets go because a friend won’t let you fall or slip away. A friend catches up to you and comes back for you. A friend ignores hunger, thirst and danger to bring you comfort, safety and peace. A friend is forever moving forward toward you; groping in the darkness, on scratching in the gloom to be by your side and on your side. A friend sees you’re invisible to others, and feels the beating of your heart and the lifting of your soul. A friend cherishes your memories and sustains your hopes and dreams. A friend remembers you when you’ve been overlooked, and won’t allow you to be, or even feel, abandoned. A friend gives you one more chance, and one more chance after that. A friend views your fall as but a misstep, not a col-

lapse, and your failure as a setback not a defeat. A friend rallies around you to guarantee not only victory, but triumph. A friend senses your need and keeps on trying to meet it and surpass it. A friend will respond to your unspoken word, and strain to lift the unbearable burden to free you. A friend searches for you whether you’re lost within the world or within yourself, and never gives up hope of finding you. A friend won’t allow you to be lost, but if you cant be found, a friend won’t allow you to be forgotten. Based on the above, my mom was right when she reminded me as a child, oldman “the policeman is your friend.” And indeed, 9/11 and the 20 years since have confirmed that the police officer is our friend. And so is the firefighter, and the emergency service worker and the construction worker and the blood donor and the volunteer and our fellow citizen. May God bless all our friends and the nation of friends that is home to us all.

COCKTAIL RECEPTION AND BOOK SIGNING WITH

MPT Enterpryze supports other entrepreneurs lmargaria@liherald.com

A man of varied talents, Inwood native Marlon Townsend is the chief executive officer of MPT Enterpryze, a public relations collective and collaborative business that includes several partners that he established as a Hempstead-based business in 2017 when working as an accounts manager at Elite Valet and Hospitality and an emergency medical technician at both Nickerson Beach and the Hempstead Fire Department. “You name it, I’ve done it,” he said. “I paid attention, learned and applied all of that energy into my own endeavors.” MPT stands for Management, Production and Talent and mirrors Townsend’s initials — Marlon Princeton Townsend. MPT has grown to nearly 10 partners. The businesses include a church, communications, culinary, culture, hospitality, public relations and technology. “We decided to collectively create an entity to celebrate and cross promote each other,” he said. Cross promotion is an essential MPT element. The group’s most recent event was the Back to Business pop-up shop and networking event with live music and vendors in July at First Calvary Baptist Church in Rockville Centre. MPT partners and more than a dozen sponsors attended, including Global Gospel, Ownurown Real Estate, Malinis Factory, 3rd

Courtesy MPT Enterpryze

MPT EnTERPRyzE’S BAck to Business event in July promoted several businesses, including Shelly’s Stylez, a wardrobe consulting company. Lounge Inc., Nev Aeh’s Cake Creations, Abyssiniia, Pizzatini, Fish Fry Fridays and more. MPT’s partners meet occasionally to brainstorm marketing and promotinal ideas, working to generate their own resources. At the peak of the pandemic in 2020, MPT sold snacks to fundraise for partnered businesses. The money was invested into those businesses and in the stock market. Townsend and the MPT team is planning their next event, which could focus

on mental health awareness. “We are currently developing new event ideas for the near future that will highlight each and every one of our gifts,” Townsend said. MPT Enterpryze’s first partner in 2017 was Ryan Wilson, chief executive officer of 3rd Lounge Inc., a multimedia production and design firm. Wilson remains a part of the business and manages MPT’s visual and graphic presentation. Two of MTP’s most involved partners include Townsends brother, Global Gospel Radio Host Rev. LeMar r Townsend, and

Townsend’s friend, Kailyn Celine, CEO of Malinis Factory, an inclusive and sustainable beauty product company. LeMarr is a radio veteran since his first Black Talk Radio Network show in 2018. MPT has helped him with media promotion as he partnered with his brother’s business when it launched. LeMarr describes MPT as an entrepreneur-friendly, “oasis for people that need to connect with other people in the world.” He said he has connected with authors, musicians, food industry workers, entrepreneurs and others through his affiliation with MPT. Celine officially launched her beauty business, Malinis Factory, in 2020 after nearly five years of developing sustainable, luxury self-care products in her kitchen. Celine met Townsend at a 2021 Connecticut pop-up event and a month later, both businesses began their collaboration. The Malinis Team meets with MPT regularly for marketing and sponsorship and to discuss business goals. “We appreciate being able to network and have an ecosystem of like-minded entrepreneurs as resources” Celine said about MPT. Townsend also refers to MPT Enterpryze and all its partners as an “ecosystem.” His favorite part of it all? “With the launch of each of our endeavors,” he said, “everyone is included in the success thereof.”

Mepham Senior Football it Was a memorable Homecoming game for Honerkamp and the Pirates on Sept. 25. The senior quarterback, in just his fourth start, rushed for five touchdowns and threw for a pair of scores to lead Mepham to a 63-30 win over Glen Cove. He averaged 12.2 yards per carry on 11 attempts and completed 6 of 9 passes for 151 yards in the first half. In last Saturday’s loss to MacArthur, Honerkamp rushed for his 10th touchdown of the season as the Pirates suffered their first loss in four games.

Hewlett’s boys’ soccer team needed some semblance of momentum or positive traction going into last Friday’s match on the road against Valley Stream North. Entering the match with a losing record, some shift or alteration was needed in order to salvage the season. One pivotal tweak to the starting lineup was a central catalyst in ensuring the Bulldogs’ 3-1 victory. “Our record was 1-4-1,” Hewlett coach Nick Lacetera said following the game. “It was time to shake things up a little bit. Right now, it looked like it worked.” The shaking things up referred to giving senior goalkeeper Avikar Khakh his first career start. He played admirably in what was more or less his debut, as before this outing he had only entered a game as a substitute. He was an instrumental element in holding Valley Stream North to a single goal. He tallied 9 saves on the afternoon, including a pair in the second half from point-blank range to protect the tenuous lead. The stout goalkeeping and defense was far from the only factor in dictating Hewlett’s success. The Bulldogs did an impressive job of applying pressure for the entirety of the 80-minute match. Their initial goal was a lengthy strike from defender David Lamour, his third tally of the season. The Bulldogs maintained a one-goal lead into the second half, until Fernando Alvarado scored a beautiful goal on a volley from Max Mariasch. Valley Stream North did manage to respond shortly with a goal, but Hewlett kept the Spartans off the board off the board for the remainder of the match. Osmar Marcos scored on a nifty grounded ball with two minutes left to seal the outcome. The Bulldogs will look to utilize the momentum garnered from this match in their upcoming contests and improve 2-4-1 record. For Valley Stream North, its inability to capitalize on numerous opportunities throughout the course of the match was its main pitfall. It had opportunities to score in both halves and never stopped working. “I feel like we were juts kind off unlucky” Valley Stream North coach Dave

seNioR DaviD laMouR opened the scoring for Hewlett last Friday as the Bulldogs went on the road and defeated Valley Stream North, 3-1. Aguado stated. “Their goalie made some nice saves, and we didn’t help by shooting them right at him.” In the first half, North’s offensive struggles mainly came from corners, as it had two corners that resulted in shots on goal yet couldn’t sneak one through. The hosts finally did manage to get on the scoresheet around 10 minutes into the second half, when freshman forward Felipe Rojas outleaped a defender and headed

one into the back left corner. From there, they just couldn’t capitalize, but came close at multiple junctures. Rojas almost scored another from well beyond the box but missed the top corner by a matter of inches. North then had two shots 1 on 1 with the goalie, but the aforementioned Khakh managed to neutralize the scoring opportunities and keep them out of the net.

No joke, DNA testing rejects enduring family lore By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Ever wonder if you or another family member is related to someone that could be part of your familial tree? If you do, then Cedarhurst resident Syd Mandelbaum could be your go-to person. A scientist involved with genetics since 1983, he helped disprove the claim a decade later of an Anna Anderson Manahan that she was the Princess Anastasia Romanov, daughter of Czar Nickolas II and Czarina Alexandra. In 2003, Mandelbaum met comedian Jackie “The Jokeman” Martling at a fundraiser for heavyweight fighter Gerry Cooney’s organization Fist at Pegasus at the Meadowlands Racetrack. Learning that Martling grew up in Oyster Bay they bonded over a game of “Do You Know,” and found out that Martling went to high school with cousins of Mandelbaum and knew Mandelbaum’s Uncle Herman as well. Martling became a board member of Mandelbaum’s Cedarhurst-based antipoverty organization Rock and Wrap It Up! and then Martling told Mandelbaum the family secret – that his great-grandfather Franklin Hall was the half-brother of Theodore Roosevelt, who born in 1858, Hall a year later. Theodore’s father, Theodore Roosevelt Sr. was hunting in Maine when Theodore was born and could have possibly fathered a child during that time given the proclivities of men of power and wealth. Hall worked for years at Roosevelt’s family’s summer home Sagamore Hill in Oyster Bay, and he, his wife, Mary Garvin, and their eight children, were all very close to the entire Roosevelt family. Mandelbaum said that with the proper DNA samples, this could be an even easier mystery to solve than Anastasia’s. “You have to know how to do this, you

don’t want to be second-guessed,” Mandelbaum said, who members famed molecular biologist Dr. James Watson of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory among his connections in the DNA world. Mandelbaum donated his scientific papers on the Anastasia research to the lab. Coincidentally, Martling’s deceased brother James worked for Watson in the Cold Spring Harbor lab in the 1990s. Earlier this year, Martling researched the Roosevelt family tree and along with his cousin John Hammond, the Town of Oyster Bay historian, they found William Emlen Roosevelt II of Katy, Texas on ancestry.com. His great-great grandfather was Theodore’s father’s brother, James Alfred Roosevelt. “I’ve been researching this for 25 years,” Hammond said, noting all the anecdotal evidence and rumors. “We’ve been trying to contact a Roosevelt who was willing to do this and very luckily found [Emlen].” Mandelbaum said Emlen “has a direct Y-chromosome to his forefather, Cornelius van Schaack Roosevelt Sr.” Testing found that Y-chromosome markers 111, 67 and 37 did not show a match. Though the anecdotal evidence is strong, the key genetic evidence generated the conclusion that there is not a genetic relationship between the Hall and Roosevelt families. Martling was hoping that the genetic family connection was true but said he is not disappointed and noted the deep bond the families had. Giving it a comedian’s twist Martling said, “It would have been fun if it was true and I'd have the oddest of bragging rights,” adding that he appreciated the work done by everyone who was involved. For Mandelbaum, who remains a scientist at heart, “It was just fun doing it,” he said. “I love getting involved in these things and pushing the envelope.”

Normal or nuts?

OPEN HOUSE SNEAK PEAK

It’s easy to attach pejorative labels to individual quirks. So, if you’ve been wondering, or been told, that you’re wacky, weird, wild or just plain nuts, listen up! None of us is as “nor mal” as we seem. We all have mannerisms that are a bit quirky; traits that are a bit peculiar; idiosyncrasies that make you – you. So, are you normal or nuts? Oops, wait a minute, I goofed. “Nuts” is not politically correct! Before I receive a slew of hate emails, I’ll correct myself. Are you normal? Or, do you suffer from a disorder for which you need psychotherapy and psychotropic drugs? If you haven’t surmised it yet, let me state my bias. We diagnose way too many normal behaviors as disorders. If your behavior is not up to par, or you’re struggling with some aspect of life (and who isn’t), something’s wrong with you, says the ever expanding mental health inda system. • Depressed during the winter? You suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). • Perfectionist? You suf fer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). • Anxious? You suffer from Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD). • Difficulty focusing? You suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). • Feeling the effects of a trauma? You suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). And the list goes on and on. But do you need to suffer from a disorder to speak to a psychologist? A resounding no! Living can be tough – even more so in COVID time - and especially if you have no one to talk to who can help you, not judge you. Know that the boundary between normal and having a mental disorder is fuzzy. Yes, if you’re a paranoid schizophrenic, you’re mentally ill. But … • If you’re experiencing the emotional pangs of life that emanate from a challenging childhood, a struggle with loss, guilt, shame or anxiety, do you really need to be labeled with a mental disorder?

TOURS & GIVEAWAYS

• If you have an inborn tendency to be perfectionistic, anxious or lack focus, must you be labeled as OCD, GAD or ADD? • If you’re having difficulties dealing with the frustrations of your career or personal relationships, must you be diagnosed with a mental disorder to take advantage of the benefits of therapy? Whatever may be troubling you unless you’re about to harm yourself or someone else – try thinking of yourself as “normal.” This doesn’t mean you have no issues to deal with. No one is perfect! The winter months may sap your energy, making you feel moody and sad. Still, you may not be suffering from SAD. Can therapy teach you how to feel better with less sunlight, be less depressed, more upbeat? You better believe it! You may be a perfectionist, working hard to make things right, needing to do apadin “just one more thing” to make it better. Still, you may not be suffering from OCD. Can therapy teach you how to live a more balanced life, aim for excellence instead of perfection and appreciate a job well done? Absolutely! You may be anxious about your career, your children, your relationships, worrying about whether anything bad will happen. Still, you may not be suffering from GAD. Can therapy teach you how to relax, reduce your worries, and focus on positive events? An unconditional YES! Yes, you may be normal even if you experience distressing emotions and thoughts. Can you do anything about them to feel better and lead a more gratifying life? Lucky you! You don’t need to be nuts to benefit from the rich resource called psychotherapy.

Hofstra’s first woman president is inaugurated agarcia@liherald.com

Hofstra University inaugurated its ninth — and first woman — president on Oct. 1 in grand fashion. Dr. Susan Poser now leads the institution — she first assumed her duties on Aug. 1. This is Poser’s first foray into guiding a university as president. She was previously the provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs at the University of Illinois Chicago, a Carnegie Research One university with 16 colleges, including seven health science colleges and more than 35,000 students, from 2016 to 2021. Poser joins a tighter-knit community at Hofstra, with roughly 10,000 students. Poser succeeds Stuart Rabinowitz, who retired this year after serving as president for 20 years. Under his leadership, the university grew to include schools of medicine, nursing and physician studies, engineering and government, putting Hofstra on the map as an internationally competitive institution. Celebrations leading up to the inauguration were held throughout the week in the form of symposia that looked toward the future of education at Hofstra. From “Building and Bridging Our Future Together” to “Innovative Experiential Learning Opportunities in Engineering and Computer Science,” each featured experts in their respective fields lending their advice to fellow pro-

fessionals and students alike.

She earned a law degree and doctorate from the University of California, Berkeley. Before starting her academic career, she clerked for Dolores Sloviter, chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit in Philadelphia and served as the Zicklin Fellow in Ethics at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Poser was also a recently appointed as a member of the Long Island Association Board of Directors, which will allow her to further engage with the Long Island community. Married to Dr. Stephen DiMagno, an organic medicinal chemist, they have two adult daughters.

Q. I hired a carpenter to rebuild my garage because it was rotted and leaning. The roof was OK, so we kept it, but all the walls were stripped away and replaced. In the middle of the job, an inspector showed up and stopped it, saying we needed a permit. I hired an architect, he made a plan and we filled in the permit. Now the plans have been rejected because, according to the inspector, they have to show fireproof walls and roof. That’s crazy! Nobody has that, so why am I being made to do this? It’s expensive, and I shouldn’t have to do it. I think they’re making me pay for starting with no permit, right? A. Not exactly, but you have to look at the big picture. You may feel like you’re getting burned, but the building code is actually named The Uniform Fire Prevention and Building Code. Fire prevention is a primary reason that the building laws exist.

Ask The Architect

In many cases, building departments allow onte eeper existing garages to have minor repairs without a permit, but only for things like replacing a garage door, a rotted section of wall base plate, shingles or siding, although you should always verify before starting. You described a near-complete rebuild, only saving the roof part of the garage, and your building official has determined that, beyond 50 percent change, the code for new buildings applies. Even though your zoning code allows a free-standing accessory structure to be 2 feet to 4 feet from a property line, depending on your community, garages that are closer than 5 feet to a property line must have materials that are rated to prevent flame spread for an hour.

This is especially important in places where there’s a volunteer fire department that must take the time to assemble from all over the community before even heading off to put out the flames. In that precious time, without flame-retardant materials, the structure may not just become completely engulfed, but also spread fire to adjacent houses and other structures. Unless you never catch the news, you can clearly see how vulnerable whole towns and cities are, and just because we don’t live next to a forest, the unthinkable can still happen. As for cost, aluminum siding, which actually still exists, may cost less, can be painted to match the house and lasts an average of 35 years. Fiber cement siding also does the job, but costs more. Other choices include stucco over cement board and steel panels, all more costly. Aluminum or cement board eaves, gutters and roofing are also required, and even though most of the home construction industry doesn’t read or know the regulations, the requirements still exist, and cost the most when they aren’t adhered to and the work has to be done twice. So don’t feel like you’re being singled out or being held to the fire. The rules exist for all of us. Good luck! © 2021 Monte Leeper Readers are encouraged to send questions to yourhousedr@aol.com, with “Herald question” in the subject line, or to Herald Homes, 2 Endo Blvd., Garden City, NY 11530, Attn: Monte Leeper, architect.

OpINIONS

ctober is a unique month. It’s time for apple picking, watching the trees change color and, if the weather permits, taking long car trips to interesting places. Depending on where you live, it’s also the time for candidates for public office to make their final arguments as to why you should vote for them on Nov. 2. And if you live in Nassau County and are a registered voter, you’re seeing that lastminute blitz to make sure you show up on Election Day. JERRY Unlike years when we elect a KREMER president, in politics this is considered an off year, with most of the campaigns involving candidates for local office. The biggest races in our county are for county executive, district attorney and comptroller. County Executive Laura Curran is favored to be re-elected, due to her professionalism and support from both political parties. That leaves the contests for district attorney and comptroller.

The hottest competition will be for the office of district attorney. Mailboxes all over the county are being flooded with materials promoting the candidacy of State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, and Anne Donnelly, a Republican and an assistant D.A. This one campaign could wind up costing the candidates as much as $6 million, and possibly more. Having once represented the South Shore of Nassau County in the State Assembly, I have gotten to know Todd Kaminsky, and have watched his political career rise rapidly. Our career paths are somewhat alike. I started out as a city attorney in Long Beach, and he started out as a federal prosecutor. I prosecuted local slumlords, and as a federal prosecutor he was given the opportunity to prosecute high-profile criminals. In my late 20s, I got a chance to run for the State Assembly, and he got his opening to run for the State Senate. To the benefit of Long Island taxpayers, Kaminsky has been a hard-working legislator who has been a leader on criminal and environmental issues. He was the principal sponsor of a law to take pen-

sions away from corrupt elected officials. He has gotten tougher drunken-driving laws and battled opioid manufacturers and doctors who dispense drugs too freely. During my time in Albany, I passed many laws in similar areas, and like Kaminsky was the leader of the Long Island legislative delegation in Albany. I applauded his decision to run for district attorney, because he has been a strong voice on so many issues of concern to the public. The State Senate leaders turn to him for advice on criminal and environmental law issues. He is responsible for the $3 billion environmental cleanup bond that will be on the ballot in 2022. Donnelly, who claims that Kaminsky was the “author” of the bailreform law, has criticized him. I know for a fact that he was not its author, and he has battled his own party on this issue. Politics is a tough and unforgiving business. If you stay in one elected position for a long period of time, you are accused of being part of the “establishment.” If you run for higher office a few years after getting elected to a different job, you are accused of being too “ambi-

eciding who leads Nassau County is a great reason to go to the polls next month.

tious.” I had the chance to run for statewide office twice, but a family tragedy prevented that from happening. I know Kaminsky’s opponent to be a long-term veteran of the D.A.’s office. In the end, it will be up to the voters to decide whom they want for district attorney. There is another countywide contest on the ballot, for the important job of county comptroller. While the public focus has been on the D.A.’s race, the job of keeping an eye on taxpayers’ money is also crucial. Former Republican State Sen. Elaine Phillips is challenging Democrat Ryan Cronin for that position. I have worked with Phillips, and found her to be an excellent public official. This will be another important choice for Nassau County voters. I hope they won’t decide to skip this year’s election, because any election, whether for dogcatcher or president, is important. If you stay home on Election Day, you get the kind of government you deserve. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Really, what’s up with the whole world?

ave you noticed that the seams don’t meet the right way and the doorjamb is wobbly? Our house is unstable. The beams of this great edifice called America are slightly off plumb in a number of disturbing ways. Nothing at all is exactly as it was before the pandemic overwhelmed the United States. In small ways and profound ways, cultural and political forces are impeding the ordinary progression of life in America. But then, what’s ordinary? Most of us have given up RANDI on the concept of KREISS going back to “normal,” and what passes for normal these days is disquieting. It isn’t just the pandemic, as if one could write off a highly infectious novel virus that swept around the world, killing 700,000 people here at home. It is how the pandemic was handled from the time it was discovered, then covered up, then ignored, then addressed with inoculation and medical efforts that ranged from inadequate to state-of-the-art medicine. I just checked in to the CDC website and

saw that they have now broken-down categories of information into: What We Know and What We Are Still Learning. That’s good. The fact that there is a learning curve in science seems to have challenged the efficacy of the coronavirus vaccines, which by any reasonable account have been remarkably successful in saving lives. We are in a world where scientists are vilified for not having all the answers, the president is begging and bribing folks to take a shot that will keep them out of the hospital, and large swaths of people are bonding online and deciding that it is safer to throw away our protective masks, refuse the vaccine and embrace bizarre and debunked remedies for this deadly disease. With some few exceptions, there is no excuse for refusing a mask and a vaccine. Using horse de-wormer instead of monoclonal antibodies? It’s kind of like what Justice Potter Stewart said of pornography: I know crazy when I see it. The problem is that those of us who have followed the science and had the vaccine, and perhaps the booster, by now can feel safe, but not completely safe. If we have young children or grandchildren, we

see those who refuse the vaccine as a direct threat to the health of our family. As we re-emerge into the world, the places we go are all changed. How did the “office” disappear in two years? Transportation is different from what it was, with some mask rules and some vaccine requirements on planes and trains. Some travel, like cruises, requires not just the time and money, but a willing suspension of disbelief. If you can’t bear cooking one more meal at home and venture out, chances are the server and possibly the chef are new hires. The workforce is sliced and diced, and not many people are fully trained for the jobs they are doing. If you talk to a friend of the heart for more than hi-and-how-are-you, chances are you’ll get into your mutual stress levels and anxiety. The psychiatrists don’t have enough hours for the people who need help, because we all need some help right now. If you live in a community or apartment building of some kind, then you know about improvement projects being delayed because the painter shows up but there’s no paint. My son finally got his

new roof, but the roofer had no gutters to install. Costco is out of toilet paper again. There are people who don’t have enough food, who can’t get to work, who have no health care and who don’t have proper shelter. We are living in a country that desperately needs new bridges and tunnels and roads. There is a good a plan to rebuild and, at this moment, it may not get passed by Congress. Not because we don’t need it. Not because most Americans don’t support it. But because the government is paralyzed by partisanship and ignorance and fear. This morning I read in The Washington Post that in Anchorage, Alaska, people attended a public hearing on mask wearing with yellow Stars of David on their arms, equating the mask requirement to Nazi-era restrictions on Jews in Germany that led to the Holocaust and the death of some 6 million people. I am worried for us. Most disturbing is the elevation of lies for personal and political gain. For me, there is some comfort in bearing witness to this time. We must keep talking and writing, acknowledging the losses and summoning the strength to tighten the floor joists and secure the roof. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

Lessons learned during Hispanic Heritage Month

ispanics are Nassau County’s fastest-growing ethnic population, County Executive Laura Curran noted in mid-September, the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrated each year since 1988, and before that as Hispanic Heritage Week, beginning in 1968. From Sept. 15 to Oct. 15, we recognize the many rich cultural and economic contributions of Hispanic people to the United States. The celebration was first signed into law as a week by President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Democrat, and expanded to a month by President Ronald Reagan, a Republican. In 2016, the Herald explored Hispanic immigration to our region in a series, “The Changing Face of Long Island,” and we wrote this in a December editorial that year: “There is much talk about how Long Islanders are leaving for elsewhere because of the high cost of living. The Island, however, actually saw a net gain in population because of immigration. Suffolk’s population remained largely unchanged between 2000 and 2012, while Nassau’s increased by roughly 78,500 people, according to census data. “Immigrants have been arriving on Long Island for more than six decades, but the pace of immigration has accelerated within the last 10 years, with an average of 20,000 Long Island immigrants annually receiving citizenship. “Immigrants, it appears, are bypassing the big cities and settling in the suburbs. That’s a good thing for Long Island.” We should now add this: There is a false impression that most Hispanics are immigrants. While that might have once been true, it no longer is. Most Hispanics in the

United States were born here and are American citizens, having become deeply ingrained in the fabric of American society. According to the New American Economy Research Fund, a bipartisan, nonprofit immigration advocacy group, there are 58.8 million Hispanic Americans in the U.S. Just over two-thirds of them — or 39.2 million — were born here, while 19.6 million were born outside the country. Combined, Hispanic immigrants and U.S.-born Hispanics now comprise 18.1 percent of the U.S. population. By 2050, the Hispanic population in the U.S. is expected to double, to 106 million, the U.S. Census Bureau estimates. In 2017, Hispanic households earned more than $1 trillion and paid some $252.2 billion in taxes, including $165.9 billion in federal income taxes and $86.3 billion in state and local taxes, the NEA Research Fund found. At the same time, today’s most recently arrived Hispanic immigrants are better educated than those who landed here only a decade ago. Between 2005 and 2010, only 15.1 percent of Hispanic immigrants held a bachelor’s degree. Between 2012 and 2017, 28.5 percent did, roughly in line with the overall U.S. population. Despite all of this, Hispanics are frequent targets of discrimination. A recent report by the Hispanic Marketing Council noted, “Fifty-five percent (but only 15 percent of non-Hispanics) said Latinos encounter frequent discrimination, while 67 percent of Hispanics strongly or somewhat agree that as a group they are discriminated against more than other ethnic minorities.” In particular, we must recognize that

letters Can club owners be trusted? To the Editor: The owners of the Woodmere Club property are at it again. Name-calling the very neighbors they want to approve their plan to ruin the local environment and peace of the Five Towns. Can the owners be trusted? They had already put the community at severe risk by leasing the former Woodmere Club tennis courts for use at the height of the pandemic, in violation of state and local emergency directives. It likely took the “harassing” neighbors to have the courts shut down, likely saving lives. The owners are now disagreeing with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (“Woodmere Club fined for chemical misuse,” Sept. 23-29), a nonpartisan agency tasked with protecting the environment — flora, fauna and humans. The owners seem to be sci-

America’s Hispanic population is not monolithic — it is diverse, with a variety of cultures according to people’s countries of origin. A Mexican American, an Argentine American and a Dominican American might share the same Spanish language, but their cultures of origin are very different. We saw the issue recently play out in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s film adaptation of his Broadway sensation “In the Heights,” a musical that speaks to the hopes and dreams of Hispanic people living in the close-knit New York City neighborhood of Washington Heights, overlooking the Hudson River, in view of the George Washington Bridge. The film, released on HBO Max, was widely praised for its artistry, but criticized because it failed to include darkskinned Afro-Latinos, who comprise a significant portion of Washington Heights’s actual population, among the film’s leading characters. That is, the film treated Hispanics as members of a single culture. Miranda took to Twitter to acknowledge the psychic pain the film may have caused, writing, “I can hear the hurt and frustration over colorism, of feeling still unseen in the feedback … Without sufficient dark-skinned Afro-Latino representation, the work feels extractive of the community we wanted so much to represent with pride and joy. In trying to paint a mosaic of this community, we fell short.” There is a lesson here that all of us can take away: We must see Hispanic Americans as individuals, each with his or her own heritage that contributes to the American landscape, including here in Nassau County, one of the most diverse places in the nation.

opinions

lthough I was raised in the United States as a Hispanic immigrant, born to immigrant parents, I have long been blasé about Hispanic Heritage Month. As a kid, I would stare curiously at the school calendar marking this month-long celebration and shrug it off as just another quirky, throwaway American holiday, like Groundhog Day or National Ice Cream Sandwich Day. Interesting to some, peculiar to many, and something that I didn’t particularly care for. JUAn Perhaps it was the odd proposiLAsso tion that somehow, some way, you could condense the cultures and national histories of more than 600 million people under a catchall term like “Hispanic heritage.” It’s true that there is some measure of shared experience, some invisible thread linking us Hispanics (for lack of a better term) together in this country we call home. I’ve been fortunate enough to spend the better part of my young adult life standing shoulder to shoulder with a diverse crowd of Hispanic community leaders and intellectuals, including academics, student leaders, attorneys and a

legislator. Each of these movers and shakers, with his or her own story and cultural identity, is proudly committed to improving the lives of fellow Hispanic Americans. So you would think that, over the years, I would have shed my small-minded childhood indifference and come to have a deeper appreciation, even love, for this time to recognize the contributions of Hispanic Americans. But I haven’t. I still don’t relish this special month. I don’t have anything against Hispanic Heritage Month. I simply don’t understand the meaning of the term “Hispanic heritage.” The conventional definition of “Hispanic” is broad enough to encompass people who trace their roots to Latin America and Spain. The term came into wide use in the 1970s, when there were issues with the U.S. census, and Hispanic organizations and leaders sought a term to identify the growing minority residing coast to coast. Hispanic was chosen as an imperfect but useful messenger to signal to those in the halls of power, and to neighborhoods across the U.S., that we were here, too, we mattered, and we were here to stay. So this celebration, too, was a push for such visibility and inclusion. The month

he term leaves the misguided impression that we have a fully integrated history.

Letters ence deniers, again. This new reveal about the developers will likely strengthen the resistant of the “harassing” neighbors to stop the development of any housing on the Woodmere Club property. I believe they’ve shown that they can’t be trusted with our lives. DR. ALLAN SIMoN Lawrence

Support the Climate Act To the Editor: Regarding the story “U.S. Army Corps of Engineers reveals findings of Back Bays Study” (Sept. 16-22): It is astonishing that an article about the high risk of flood damage faced by South Shore residents does not mention climate change. Why are our local elected officials supporting a plan to spend $3.8 billion in taxpayer money on resiliency measures such as “elevating more than 14,000 homes”? We know from the science that without addressing the source of the problem — climate change caused by fossil-fuel emissions — resiliency measures will ultimately fail.

was intended to validate the reality that we Hispanic Americans have, since the beginning of America’s founding, added to the rich and diverse tapestry of the democratic experiment, anchoring us as members of the American popular concept of “the people.” As President Lyndon Johnson declared, “The people of Hispanic descent are the heirs of missionaries, captains, soldiers and farmers who were motivated by a young spirit of adventure, and a desire to settle freely in a free land … This heritage is ours.” And yes, that much is true. Hispanics have fought and continue to fight in the nation’s wars, contribute to its art and culture, and sit in the highest offices of political power as proud citizens and servants. But when examined more closely, the term “Hispanic heritage” brings with it a mess of ambiguity and confusion. The term leaves the misguided impression that Latin America has a single, fully integrated history tracing its beginnings to Spanish and European colonialism. Using this as the starting point for our story overshadows the bigger picture. Multitudes of people from Europe, Africa and Asia collided with multitudes of others from pre-Columbian societies, not knowing that they would be caught in a

whirlwind of encounters, battles and unions that would dynamically entangle different people from vastly different regions and histories. This, in turn, sowed the seeds for cultural innovation and diffusion that would sprout into modern-day countries and societies unlike anything the world has ever seen. Latin America, therefore, has no definitive maker’s mark etched into its diverse past, no single heritage. For the sake of becoming a distinct, recognizable cohort in American demographics, we have regrettably traded away a part of reality we so-called “Hispanics” understand all too well but often fail to articulate. We are not one singular, panethnic group. According to Pew Research, most Hispanics prefer to use their country of origin to identify themselves. Yet despite my serious qualms, I do now see the wisdom in devoting a monthlong celebration to exploring the unique complexity of our Latin American identities, and celebrating Hispanics who have and continue to serve the U.S. as one nation, one people, yet with feet still firmly planted in the pride and love of their distinct cultural histories. All that I’d recommend is that if Americans are to get the most out of this month-long celebration, they start to think of us beyond the term “Hispanic.” Juan Lasso is editor of the Valley Stream Herald.

FrAmework by Christina Daly

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky must realize that the real solution is a transformation to a renewable economy. The State Legislature must pass the Climate and Community Investment Act, which will create jobs and revenue by making corporate polluters pay their fair share to mitigate the damage they have done to our communities. If our leaders truly want to combat the disastrous effects of climate change on the South Shore, and benefit every South Shore resident, they must support the CCIA. LAURA MAFFEI Cedarhurst
