Pair documents entrepreneurs by JeFFreY beSSeN jbessen@liherald.com

A husband-and-wife team who live in Woodsburgh and own a business in Lynbrook spearheaded the production of a new documentary series that will have its New York premiere, and an accompanying panel discussion, on Sunday at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan. Nan and Harold Klein, 65 and 66, started TeleTime Video Production in 1976, when both were

attending Brooklyn College. “There was no such thing as video,” Harold recalled, and Nan added, “Not even VHS” — the video home systems that became ubiquitous in households in the 1980s. The documentary series “Trauma to Triumph – The Rise of the Entrepreneur” has two episodes completed, and next month they will be broadcast on PBS’s World channel. The series focuses on people who have faced difficult circumstances and then succeeded as

entrepreneurs. “We did a lot of work with entrepreneurial community,” said Harold Klein, recalling TeleTime’s first use of video in stores, which helped them show their merchandise continuously in their front windows, which led to more work for TeleTme in malls and store chains, then corporate work with the founder of Inc. magazine, Bernie Goldhirsch. TeleTime produced 100 educational videos on entrepreneurship for Inc., which Continued on page 18

Solages: Traffic and road safety has been

jlasso@liherald.com

Valley Stream resident and Republican challenger, Dr. Bernadin Fleurima, is racing this election season against Democratic Legislator Carrie Solages for the Nassau County 3rd Legislative District. Solages, 42, of Lawrence, is seeking his sixth term in office. Fleurima, a pastor, is running his first time for the 3rd district seat. Ahead of Election Day on Nov. 2, the Herald asked each candidate questions pertinent to their vision for the district and to see where each one stands on the issues.

Herald: Despite an all-around increase

in affluence, how do you plan to better address those pockets of severely underserved residents in your communities with low social and economic status who suffer a lack of access to healthcare and education?

Solages: Addressing the needs of under-

served residents has been a priority in my leadership as Legislator, especially as it relates to addressing health disparities. At the start of the pandemic in January 2020, there were many national reports that predicted that Covid-19 would be devastating on minority communities who already suffer from significant health disparities including higher rates of cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other health issues. The minority community suffered during the pandemic due to lack of access to resources as well as historical and cultural factors. That is why I made it a priority to create or further support new health care facilities in my district. During the pandemic, I had a close working relationship with the Elmont Health Center which is a federal qualified health center. I organized several Covid-19 test drives, vaccine distributions and health fares with the health center. I also brought test and vaccine sites to the Five Towns through the Five Towns Community Center which is a county facility. In order to address the ongoing health needs of the Inwood community in which we see the fastest growing population of Latinos in Nassau County, I am seeking to have the lease of the community center extended and a new health care site or clinic placed there. I have had several planning meetings with the County Executive’s team on this issue and look forward to solidifying these plans in the coming months.

Fleurima: Health conditions, disability

and unhealthy behaviors can all have an effect on educational outcomes. Poor health not only results from low education, but it can also cause educational set-

backs and interfere with schooling. My office will work with the appropriate agencies to ensure that everyone has access to healthcare and education. We believe that we have the means to do it. We can do this.

Herald: How will you help ensure that

your constituents benefit as much as they can from the Belmont Arena project?

Solages: The Belmont Arena Project pres-

ents a major opportunity for development and economic revitalization for Elmont and the greater Nassau County community. In order to make sure that the project is a benefit and not a burden for the community that I represent, I advocated for a fully functional train station. I am happy to see that the State has constructed a station there, however, the north-side of the project is a fair distance away from Elmont, a largely working-class community. To improve access, I am advocating for a rapid bus transfer system with the Nassau Inter-County Express Bus company in partnership with the State to make sure that residents can connect from Hempstead Turnpike to the train station for a more efficient commute. In addition, a community center and job training program can be sponsored and funded by the developer. I have also advocated that the developer creates a down-town Elmont Beautification Improvement Bureau. In many

areas where we see commercial development, the developer and local government support such entities that are responsible for litter removal, beautification efforts, and providing local jobs. Litter removal, debris, and other quality of life issues are very important to the constituents that I serve. I have led petition drives, press conferences, and other methods that focus on organizing the community with one clear voice demanding that the State and the developer do right by the community. I am asking constituents to continue advocating for a community center, which is part of the developer’s plan but is still not yet a reality.

Fleurima: The Belmont Arena Project will undoubtedly create jobs, and I hope that priority will be given to the district residents. After extensive community outreach and numerous public hearings, we identified a critical need for improved mass transit and a full service of the Long Island Railroad station to serve the community. I look forward to continuing to work with our constituents to ensure that this project brings tangible results and the benefits that our community needs and that our residents deserve. Herald: Residents want to know they are safe in their communities. What are your plans to assist in reducing crime, promote traffic safety and increase continued Covid vaccination awareness?

and continues to be a priority in my role as Legislator. I have advocated for and secured infrastructure improvements across my district that will make our communities safer and improve our quality of life. A major component of this work has focused on road repaving and traffic safety. The County recently completed resurfacing on a nearly mile-long span of North Central Avenue in Valley Stream between Hendrickson Avenue and the Southern State Parkway—the centerpiece of an aggressive road-repaving schedule for Valley Stream’s County roads. Portions of Hungry Harbor Road and Mill Road were completed as well. The County is continuing its work to implement recommended traffic-calming recommendations from the January 2020 Elmont Traffic & Pedestrian Safety Project. With regards to reducing crime, I am proud to say that the third district gained two new PALS (Police Activity League) programs, more than any other legislative district. That was due our partnership with the County Executive who is committed to assisting our community by improving our relationship with local law enforcement. I have led the efforts to equip our Nassau County police officers with body cameras, funded efforts to have more auxiliary police cars in our community to patrol and show a visible law enforcement presence, and I have funded and supported efforts for the use of Shot Spotter [a gunfire locator technology], which has detected gun use in our community, which is a priority due to the rising gun violence in the metro NYC area. As for Covid-19 vaccination awareness, I have protected my community by organizing several Covid test and vaccine distributions. I am thankful to my colleagues in government and the health and nonprofit organizations and churches who’ve helped make it possible and look to continue such efforts as the [pandemic situation unfolds.

Fleurima: Reducing crime requires that

we fund the police to get more cops on patrol 24/7. The police department must have the necessary tools to help combat crimes and control the flow of traffic near the Belmont Arena and other hotspots in the third district. I would like to see a police station built nearby to help deter any would-be criminals. With regards to Covid-19, we are encouraging people to get vaccinated to protect themselves and their loved ones from the deadly disease. Covid-19 is still around, and we encourage people to follow the CDC guidelines to keep themselves safe. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

HEwlEtt-woodmERE FacultY aSSociatioN members fanned out across the school district, including the Peninsula Shopping Center, above, to support businesses and enhance its scholarship.

Supporting businesses, enhancing scholarships By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

More than $1,500 was added to the Community Service scholarships the Hewlett-Woodmere Faculty Association awards with five members first purchasing $100 gift cards and certificates from 20 local businesses and then raising the money by raffling off the cards and certificates to HWFA members who bought tickets for the drawing. In August, HFWA President Ric Stark and members Susan Albergo, Caryn Bachar, Joann Brown and Leslie Rose bought the gift cards from stores in the Peninsula Shopping Center in Hewlett, businesses along Broadway and others in the area. Bachar noted the group bought the cards with their personal money, then were reimbursed by the HFWA. Rose brought the fresh idea to the HFWA from her connection with Kevin Coyne, president of the Brentwood Teachers Association. Coyne sent Rose fliers on BTA’s scholarship program. During a Zoom meeting of the HFWA’s Solidarity Committee, Coyne answered the many questions HFWA members asked. “Helping with the scholarships is one way to help our students, while building community at the same time,” Rose, a second grade teacher at Ogden Elementary School, wrote in an email. “It gave us great pleasure to purchase gift cards from local businesses knowing it was part of a greater plan to increase scholarships.” To raise the money to enhance the scholarships, a gift card list was sent to HFWA members, then each member could buy raffle tickets to win the gift cards of their choice. Bachar called it a “truly a collaborative group effort across each building.” The raffle drawing took place at the HFWA’s Welcome Back Solidarity Social on Oct. 1. “As a resident as well as a teacher in

the district, there is nothing better than knowing you are supporting the children and community in which you work and live,” Bachar stated in an email. “There were shop owners who were so used to being asked to donate, that they were incredulous when we explained that we are buying the cards, not asking for donations; that this was our way to thank them for years of donations and to help them during a most trying 18 months.” She teaches English as a New Language to grades three to five at Ogden Elementary School. The Community Service scholarships are given to students in each of HewlettWoodmere’s five school buildings: Hewlett High School, Woodmere Middle School, Hewlett Elementary School, Ogden Elementary School and Franklin Early Childhood Center. One scholarship is also award to a private school student who lives in either Hewlett or Woodmere. “The awards are to recognize students who have made positive contributions to their schools and community,” Stark said an email. “Often they go to students who are leaders in service-related activities in their schools, or (especially in the younger grades) who are particularly helpful and kind to their classmates.” Teachers from each building and those who work in the Five Towns private schools choose the scholarship winners. The awards are typically presented at the Hewlett-Woodmere Board of education meeting in May. The scholarship values varies by level, said Stark, adding that there will be a meeting in January or February to discuss how to award the additional money. “We are now able to increase the amounts presented to students, and support our community,” Bachar stated. “Due to the success, we can expand the number of businesses next year.”

Lawrence High School students have kicked off the new school year in true Lawrence fashion, embracing its beautifully diverse student body by celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month. During hall passing, the school has been providing a wide range of songs showcasing the enchanting sound of Hispanic music and rhythm. In celebration of National Hispanic Heritage Month, Lawrence High’s Latin American Club has made it their duty to provide short but concise announcements detailing the lives and achievements of significant Latinx figures such as Cesar Chavez and Celia Cruz. The Latin American Club has partnered with Lawrence’s Media Club in order to create a video presenting the many different genres of Latin American music including guaracha, salsa, rumba, punta and several others. The production is due to be completed before the conclusion of National Hispanic Heritage Month. As Lawrence High School adjusts to the new “normal” in regards to the Covid-19 pandemic, it has begun to bring back many of the clubs and extracurriculars that were available prior to the school’s suspension of inperson instruction last year. The African American Club has been working diligently to provide a jaw-dropping performance for the high school’s pep rally, which will be taking place on Oct. 22. The club has never

failed to impress and does not plan to lose that streak now. With incredible student choreographers and passionate club members, there is no doubt that this year’s performance will be showstopping. The return of Model Congress, Lawrence’s oldest club, has brought the grades together in a way that seemed unreachable to many. While maintaining the school’s mandated Covid guidelines, the club hosted its first meeting of the year and drew in an unanticipated number of new members. This makes it clear that the student body is more than eager to get their lives back on track both academically as well as socially. On Sept. 19, Lawrence High School held its Senior Car Wash, raising an unprecedented amount of funds. Members of the senior class had a wonderful time washing cars with their peers and gathering donations that are designated to be used for future events. It was incredibly refreshing for many of the students to be able to have a gathering in which they could interact socially with the rest of their class while still being mindful of pandemic safety guidelines. With the return of clubs, sports, and school events, Lawrence High and its students are most certainly on track to having a great school year. In spite of the hardships the student body has faced during this time, it is more than ready to persevere and make this year one to remember.

Ford, Lovas vie for the 4th Legislative District seat Denise Ford, the veteran county legislator, is being challenged by a new comer to electoral politics, Claudia Lovas, a Democrat. Ford is campaigning on her nearly 20 years as a legislator and her years of service to the community. She emphasizes that she has been particularly involved with environmental issues. Lovas argues that it is time for a change, that as a newbie, she would not be tied to traditional ways of doing things in the Legislature and that she would bring new spirit and energy to the job.

and my priority is to find more solutions aimed at keeping young people in the county, to raise families and eventually retire here.

HERALD: Many of the county’s downtowns are aging and in need of repair. Do you favor raising taxes to fix the downtowns? Are there other solutions available?

FORD: Our downtowns are the core of

HERALD: What do you consider the most important issue facing Nassau County residents this year?

Denise Ford

FORD: Residents are concerned over the

high cost of living as we pay the second highest property taxes in the country. As a result of the reassessment, over 65 percent of homeowners have seen their assessed values increase, which will impact their taxes. Some have had their incomes reduced due to the pandemic and struggling to make ends meet or own small businesses and were also impacted by the pandemic due to shutdowns. Despite this, people are still moving into Nassau as we have a good quality of life and are one of the safest counties in America. With the change in the bail reform laws, many are concerned over the continued safety in their communities as they are constantly reminded to lock their cars and homes. Residents want to make sure that as they make sacrifices to afford to live here that they continue safely and securely.

LOVAS: Covid remains a significant con-

cern for constituents of Nassau County given that the virus continues to spread throughout our country. Initially, Nassau County had one of the highest numbers of Covid cases outside of New York City. County Executive Laura Curran efficiently took control of an unprecedented situation. Now, 17 months later, over 90 percent of adult residents in Nassau County over the age of 18 have received at least the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Laura Curran has done a remarkable job handling the worst health crisis in over 100 years. However, the threat is not over and the task cannot be performed alone. This undertaking requires a government that is committed to working with Laura Curran, not against her. As legislator, I will be dedicated to helping the county executive in her continued efforts to make vaccines readily accessible to all residents so we can keep our communities and first responders safe. In the continued control of the pandemic, I will partner with the county executive in her steady approach of supporting families and small businesses to continue restoring the fiscal health of the County.

ed in Nassau this year, leaving a number of middle- and lower-income families unable to afford a home. Rentals have also skyrocketed. What is the solution to this problem?

tax breaks, they are required to set aside a certain number of affordable units and this can help. Expansion of the Section 8 program can provide vouchers for lowand moderate-income families to offset the rent.

FORD: One of the reasons home prices rose so much was due to the fact that many in New York City chose to move to Long Island. It became a seller’s market, as there were more buyers than homes for sale. Rents were impacted as well, as many were looking to relocate here. As this appears to be settling, we need to look at ways to make it easier for our lowerand middle-income families. There is a need for more affordable housing, and we need to work together to bring these types of units into our communities. One way would be to partner with organizations such as the Long Island Housing Partnership, which has helped people get homes they otherwise could not afford on their own. As land values are high, we can look at abandoned sites to determine if housing would be suitable there, which would also eliminate blight. I have always advocated for our rent stabilized apartments, which allow people to stay in their communities. When developers are given any

LOVAS: Economic development has been an important issue for the county executive. Before we can be more supportive of local issues such as affordable housing, we need to continue and maintain the fiscal health of the county achieved by Laura Curran and her administration. Maintaining fiscal discipline, a balanced budget and holding the line on property taxes ultimately translates into housing affordability. It is a domino effect that starts from the top down. Despite a global pandemic, the county now has a budget surplus, and Laura Curran has proposed tax cuts for 2022. This is a direct result of the hard work of the Curran administration. Moving forward, we need to eliminate the continued obstacles created by the Republican legislative majority that derail initiatives proposed by the county executive to the detriment of Nassau County residents. I am prepared to work collaboratively with the county executive,

many communities as they attract residents and visitors to the neighborhoods. As important as they are, I do not favor raising taxes. Businesses would not be immune to this tax increase, which would make it harder to continue to stay open. There are other solutions; for instance, municipalities can take advantage of grants and funding to help renovate the stores and sidewalks. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development provides Community Development Block Grant funding, which can be used to beautify the area as well as fix storefronts. New York state representatives should help secure additional funding from the state, which could provide for downtown revitalization. Also, the federal government is distributing infrastructure funding, which could be used for street repair and drainage to help protect these shopping and commercial areas. There are grants being offered through Boost Nassau for our local businesses that were impacted by the pandemic. This assistance can help keep them open.

LOVAS: I am not in favor of raising taxes. We can develop alternatives such as seeking grants for municipalities and other financial incentives for developers in order to reinvent the county’s downtowns. This is already in the works in many of our Nassau communities. Villages are applying for state programs like the Downtown Revitalization Initiative that has the potential of bringing millions of dollars for the purpose of the redevelopment of the downtowns. Additionally, allowing the execution of large quality projects in Nassau County also bolsters the viability of the downtowns. The county executive needs more supporters to help her in the headway that has been made thus far. We need to continue to build on this progress. The county has been plagued with fiscal issues for over 20 years that trickled down to the local communities. Despite a pandemic, Laura Curran has resurrected this county, bringing fiscal health and ending decades of government corruption. The Curran administration eliminated a culture of waste, fraud, abuse and corruption, notwithstanding a Republican legislative majority whose goal was to block her attempts at every turn. Just think of all she could have accomplished with an advocate like me in the Legislature fighting for her, instead of against her.

For the second time in two years, Laura Burns challenges Bill Gaylor for county legislator of District 6. Gaylor, from Lynbrook, has held his seat since 2015 and was re-elected in 2017 and 2019, when he defeated Burns, 7,936 to 6,674. Burns, of Rockville Centre, is a writer and advocate.

the Curran administration has put us on. Reassessment was absolutely necessary to address Nassau County’s financial woes, as was adopting the Taxpayer Protection Plan. Curran is calling for no additional property taxes for the next four years while the TPP is implemented, and the goal is, ultimately, to have accurate rolls and reduce the necessity of grieving. This is the correct course of action, and I’m concerned that the Republican Majority —which just this month demonstrated its willingness to play politics with the budget — will push the county off the path to fiscal stability by choosing shortterm political gain over long-term responsible management.

good first step, connecting business owners with information about the resources available to them. I would push out more information from my office as well, making sure to have it available in the different languages spoken by business owners in the district. There are grants and loans available to help small businesses recover, and I look forward to helping constituents discover and access all helpful programming. We can also think creatively to make our downtowns more desirable destinations. There is Community Revitalization Program money available to help with beautification efforts, and we can expand the Open Streets program to create more walkable downtowns, and we can focus on build-

I will never vote to defund our police and make sure they always have the resources they need to return home safe at the end of their shift. I will also continue to never vote for property tax increases, and fight to make the county executive’s reassessment more fair, accurate and transparent.

Burns: My top priority is to maintain our

fiscal health. The taxpayers’ money should be spent on infrastructure, pro-

gramming and services to make taxpayers’ lives better. We must achieve financial stability and phase out the Nassau Interim Finance Authority so that we can move forward with more funding for the taxpayers. My first order of business will be to set up a structure for constituent outreach. I plan to hold bimonthly town halls, both in person and via Zoom, and to have weekly “office hours” at different public spaces or small businesses around the district. It’s important that the diverse communities within Legislative District 6 know they have a legislator who wants to hear their concerns, and it’s important that I know what the district’s priorities are so that I can represent them well. There hasn’t been any outreach from the legislator’s office in this district, and it’s sorely needed. My focus in office will be to assess the infrastructure needs in LD6 and begin work on addressing them, making sure to include constituents in the process. I want any development in the district to include renewable energy and to create good-paying jobs with benefits.

Herald: Why would you be a better fit for the position than your opponent? Gaylor: Unlike my opponent, I strongly denounce any legislation that supports defunding the police and oppose Albany’s dangerous cashless bail laws. I have a strong record of supporting law enforcement and will continue to work closely with them to keep our communities safe. Additionally, I will fight to cut taxes and create a more fair and transparent process concerning the current administration’s flawed reassessment system, and correct the numerous errors affecting tens of thousands of Nassau’s homeowners. Burns: During my years as an advocate

for gun violence prevention, I’ve become well-versed in building coalitions among community groups working on different aspects of a complex issue that spans legislation, cultural outreach, public education and community organizing. This grassroots experience is exactly what’s needed in local government — a willingness to seek out diverse voices, gather different points of view, and synthesize them into a plan for action to make people’s lives better. My opponent is content with the status quo, listens only to the voices of his own party, and has ignored 60 percent of the district’s population when it comes to CRP funding. My goal is to improve the quality of life in the district, throughout the entire district. Taxpayers deserve a legislator who represents them all, and we need something better than the status quo.

Abelove challenges Clavin for supervisor By Mike SMollinS

lion from the supervisor’s staff budget on my first day, and I eliminated “takehome cars” for top managers. I don’t drive a town car; I drive my personal car with over 200,000 miles on it. Our town’s fiscal strength under my administration has been recognized with credit rating upgrades from two top Wall Street credit agencies – Moody’s and Standard & Poors. I will continue to work hard to demonstrate the highest regard for taxpayers, while providing top-notch services, enhancing roadways and facility upgrades.

msmollins@liherald.com

Jason Abelove is challenging Don Clavin for Town of Hempstead supervisor. Clavin was the town’s receiver of taxes for nearly two decades before defeating Laura Gillen to become supervisor in 2019. Abelove, an attorney, is running for office for the first time. Ahead of Election Day on Nov. 2, the Herald asked the candidates questions about their goals and issues facing the community.

Abelove: The town has a $400 million

Herald: What would some of your top priorities be if elected? Clavin: Tax relief is at the top of my priorities. I worked alongside a bipartisan Town Board to freeze taxes for 202, and I have proposed a tax cut for 2022. On my first day in office, I slashed the supervisor’s staff spending by half, saving taxpayers $1 million annually. Keeping my word on improving roadways and facilities, I am dedicating $75 million to road repaving and infrastructure upgrades. In addition, I am spending $10 million on parks improvements, and look forward to implementing an array of enhancements to community parks across America’s largest township. I am committed to providing tax relief, while providing top-notch services and doing more for residents. I will also continue to work with my colleagues on the board to lead our township during the pandemic. Using millions of dollars in federal CARES funds, we provided over 7,000 free Covid-19 vaccines, thousands of no-cost Covid-19 tests, personal protective equipment kits for businesses, millions of meals to residents in need, aid to front line entities, air filters for seniors and more. Modernizing town government continues to be a priority, as we took a step by creating an online portal for Building Department services, streamlining the application process. Abelove: My top priorities are to lower

taxes and bring equity to the delivery of town services. For too long, the town has wasted money on high salary patronage jobs, bloated budgets, expensive mailers and inflated no bid contracts to Republican donors. It’s time we relocated our budget away from sweetheart contracts for campaign contributors to critical services and road repair. When I eliminate wasteful spending, we will improve our downtowns while investing in our local infrastructure.

Herald: Many local businesses took a financial hit during the coronavirus pandemic and have suffered from staffing shortages. What more can be done to help local businesses? Clavin: From the beginning of the pandemic, we worked to help business own-

ers struggling to cope with the health and financial impacts of it. For example, I worked with the board to establish our region’s first outdoor dining initiative in the spring of 2020, which waived all permit fees and expedited the process for restaurant owners to establish or expand outdoor dining options. This initiative potentially saved restaurant owners thousands of dollars in permit fees and provided them with the opportunity to offer additional dining options for customers as they returned to restaurants following the Covid-19 shutdowns. Hundreds of restaurants are participating in the program, which we are extending through the fall of 2022. We also assisted small businesses as they sought to reopen safely and successfully — through millions of dollars allocated in CARES funds, we distributed thousands of PPE kits to small businesses. I instituted an Economic Advisory Council, comprising a group of leaders in business, industries, higher education and community organizations to work on strategies to navigate businesses, residents and the local economy during the pandemic. In addition, through a partnership with Northwell Health, we provided free Covid-19 testing for essential workers, an effort to support the dedicated employees who were working throughout the heights of the pandemic to provide essential services to residents. We recognize the importance of our downtowns for the success of local businesses and the economy. Through Operation Clean Sweep, we have crews making their way through downtowns across Hempstead to keep these areas clean and pristine. In addition, we are revital-

izing downtowns with brick-paved walkways, Victorian streetlights and more. Finally, I have worked in support of mixed-used development and other smart growth priorities, and will continue to work to support initiatives, projects and programs that spur our local economy and support local businesses as they recover from the pandemic.

Abelove: The town received $133 million

in federal CARES money, three-quarters of which was used for raises and promotions to political insiders, and renovating the supervisor’s bathroom in Town Hall. The town also promoted a $40 million stimulus plan, but did not fund the plan. We will use the CARES money to provide direct support to small businesses. We will streamline permitting, promote job fairs and lower taxes to make business thrive in the town. Small businesses are the cornerstone of our community, and we must do everything we can to ensure the success of our small businesses throughout our Covid19 recovery. As a small business owner myself, I know the stress of making payroll every week. Under my administration, Hempstead will distribute the federal relief money following the Boost Nassau model.

Herald: What more can be done to provide tax relief to Town of Hempstead residents? Clavin: Tax relief is my top priority as I froze town taxes for 2021, and I have proposed a tax cut for 2022. Slashing unnecessary spending has been my commitment since I entered office. I cut $1 mil-

budget and is not responsible for police or other first responder services. With this bloated budget, I truly believe that we can provide more services for less money. Taxes are high because of the number of political appointees making six-figure salaries, no bid contracts and waste such as $5 million in needless mailings and placing elected officials’ names on every town sign. Having the political will to end the waste, putting taxpayer’s priorities over the politicians and running the town with an eye toward service rather than re-election will save our residents millions of dollars.

Herald: Given the number of infrastructure issues within the town, how can necessary projects be completed while still keeping taxes low and keeping the work within the proposed budget? Clavin: We have significantly increased

our investment in capital improvements for roadways over the previous administration. Working with a bipartisan board, we are dedicating $75 million in capital funds for roadway and infrastructure improvements. In addition, I recently introduced the “pothole patrol,” an effort to expedite roadway repairs using state-of-the-art pothole repair vehicles and promoting a hotline for residents to report potholes in their neighborhood. Our efforts to improve town infrastructure is critical for the safety and quality of life of our residents, while still freezing town taxes for 2021 and cutting town taxes in 2022.

Abelove: Our town’s primary responsi-

bility is local infrastructure, and as everyone can see, the current administration is failing. Our roads are crumbling before our eyes and the town is not being adequately cared for. The top priority should be infrastructure in every corner of the town, not just Republican strongholds. We will place our resources on infrastructure based upon need and place our focus on infrastructure issues over mailings, signage and photo opportunities. There is more than enough budgeted for the needed repairs. All we need is a change in leadership. When elected, I plan to trim the town’s bloated budget, while allocating additional resources to road paving.

Daniels challenges Kopel, again in L.D. 7 went wrong, and correct the system.

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Herald: Both you and your opponent are lawyers, how do you think that expertise translates into being an effective legislator?

County Legislator Howard Kopel (R-Lawrence) is running for his seventh two-year term. Democratic challenger Lisa Daniels ran against Kopel in 2013. The 7th District includes Oceanside, Rockville Centre, East Rockaway, Cedarhurst, Woodmere, and parts of Hewlett, Lawrence, Baldwin, Valley Stream and Lynbrook The Herald asked the candidates three questions focusing on issues upper most in constituents minds.

Herald: A few large-scale development projects have been proposed in the district and surrounding communities. What will you do to help ensure that resident concerns are not ignored? Lisa Daniels: Residents are understand-

ably frustrated about their lack of input and the limited information conc e r n i n g h a p h a z a r d d eve l o p m e n t throughout the community. Our neighbors duly expect that projects with reverberating effects throughout the community should depend on community review and discussion; they want a seat at the table. While I recognize the county has limited control over zoning, as a legislator I would work with municipal officials to promote the creation of a community advisory board and master planning commission. Not only should residents and community leaders have more of a say about the direction of their community, but these decisions should be made holistically to see what makes sense for the whole community. Resident concerns also refer to the county’s crumbling and ill-maintained infrastructure. We must ensure development does not exceed the level of our infrastructure. Our roadways and wastewater infrastructure are already far too often overwhelmed by existing use. That’s why, as a legislator, I would bolster the infrastructure that underlies all of our daily lives. Issues with county drainage and roadways will only be exacerbated by uncoordinated development, and must be addressed first and foremost.

Howard Kopel: Unfortunately, the zon-

ing for new projects is entirely outside the jurisdiction of the county, and so I cannot directly initiate legislative action. However, I have been an outspoken community leader in opposing the proposed Woodmere Club redevelopment, as well as ill-considered apartment projects in throughout the district and beyond. I have expressed opposition to any Industrial Development Agency benefits being extended to such projects, which harm the community. I have held several rallies and letter writing campaigns to force the state to finally live up to its obligations and complete the Nassau Expressway. The

current situation is not only a major inconvenience, but also a continuing hazardous situation. I have plans to work cooperatively with other public officials, including across the aisle to renew pressure now that there is a new governor. I support sensible development and business expansion, but the infrastructure must be able to support it, which is often not the case. Finally, most of us live here because we like being out of New York City. We cannot allow our suburban environment to be transfor med into New York City’s “sixth borough.”

Herald: The residential property assessment system still needs an overhaul. What would you do to make it beneficial for homeowners and the county? Daniels: The property assessment sys-

tem in Nassau County was woefully neglected for years from the Mangano administration’s freezing of the tax rolls. This benefited political special interest groups with guaranteed payouts to tax certiorari attorneys. County finances were so beleaguered that money was borrowed specifically to pay refunds. This is why I’m so disheartened by calls to return to the days of special interest payouts and financial mismanagement. I believe in a fair assessment of every home. County Executive Laura Curran has had the political courage to begin cleaning up our county finances, assessing every house to determine its

actual and current value. Under the county executive’s efforts, all have maintained their right to challenge an assessment value; further, her administration has created a user-friendly grievance system to make the process even more accessible. Reassessing property values regularly with a robust grievance system is the best and only way to fine-tune the system and ensure residents are paying taxes on the actual value of their property, and not overpaying. I’d also add that 70 percent of property taxes are attributable to school taxes, not county taxes, which can often get lost in these discussions

Kopel: The assessment system is a mess

perpetrated by the county executive’s administration. No one would argue against a fair and accurate system, but the new system simply is neither fair, nor accurate. More than 60 percent of homeowners are experiencing increases, some of the huge and some people are, literally, being forced from their homes. This results, not only of inaccurate assessments, but from the county executive breaking a promise to the Legislature to follow state law limiting annual increases to individual homeowners, and using a legal maneuver to avoid the law. The volume of complaints and protests against the new assessments is historic, clearly indicating that something is wrong. I believe that the county should call a halt to increases, conduct a careful study to determine what

ing for children and families in need in Nassau County for over 20 years. Through these years — fighting for the needs of our most vulnerable residents — I’ve come to understand the value of robust representation. In our system, it’s far too easy for entrenched interests to get their way or for one’s needs to not be given space in a debate. I know what it takes and what it means to stand up for our neighbors. While my opponent might like to joke he’s a recovering attorney, I truly value the experience I’ve had advocating for children and families in our county. It is also important for a legislator to consider how the laws they draft and vote on will impact real people in their everyday lives outside of the vacuum of the legislative chamber. As a litigator and a member of the Legislative Drafting and Review Subcommittee of the New York State Bar Association Committee on Children and the Law, I am constantly reviewing, interpreting, and applying existing statutes and legislation. My first-hand experience in the real life impact of le gislation makes me uniquely suited to give our neighbors the representation they deserve.

Kopel: I disagree with the premise of this question. I do not actually think that being a lawyer is necessary to be an effective legislator. Many of the most effective advocates for their constituents, on both sides of the aisle, are not lawyers. Being a lawyer does, obviously, bring some advantages in terms of training provided to lawyers to think logically and to write concisely and clearly. However, many lawyers are terrible writers and poor advocates, while many nonlawyers are extremely clear thinkers, and eloquent and effective representatives for the community. I encourage our young people, of whatever educational background, to get involved in the political process, and to work for the community. A varied base of knowledge and experience is extremely valuable in a legislative body and is much better than having just a bunch of lawyers deciding things. I am a lawyer by training, but most of my career has been as an owner, together with my wife, of a business that provides work for many people, and enables us to gain knowledge and experience outside a narrow legal base. I believe that my experience as a business owner has been most valuable in my acknowledged expertise in dealing with county finances.

With Lawrence boys’ soccer boasting Nassau County’s top two scorers, no lead appears safe against the Golden Tornadoes — not even a two-goal cushion for an opponent which had yet to be defeated. Seniors Angelo Puerto-Quintanilla and Gabe Viera sparked a wild comeback victory for Lawrence last Friday as it handed North Shore its first loss while earning a share of the Conference A-V title. Both teams finished the regular season with identical 11-1 marks. “We responded the way I thought we’d respond, but it’s not like we were in this situation before so you never know,” Lawrence coach Pat Leary said after the game. “Angelo and Gabe are high-level talents. I’ve been coaching a long time and can’t remember anyone in the county having two 20-goal guys at the same time. They each have more goals than some teams.” The Vikings, who beat Lawrence 2-0 on Sept. 25, led the rematch 2-0 after 24 minutes thanks to goals by Matteo Kanakaris and Luke DiBenedetto. However, the hosts pulled even by halftime — Puerto-Quintanilla converted a penalty kick and Viera set up senior Jona Murcia — and sophomore goalkeeper Julio Murcia, making his first varsity start following a call-up from JV kept North Shore from doing any additional damage and finished with nine saves. “He was tremendous,” Leary said of Julio Murcia. “He didn’t look nervous and he really made some difficult saves.” The winning goal — Puerto-Quintanilla’s 24th of the season — came with just under 25 minutes remaining. He then assisted Viera’s insurance tally with a long ball over the defense with less than five minutes to go. It was Viera’s 21st goal. “We scored 63 goals in 12 games,” Leary said. “I don’t believe we’ve ever come anywhere close to that number. “They’re all unselfish and humble kids and it doesn’t matter to them who gets credit,” he added. “They just want to win.” Puerto-Quintanilla and Viera are tied for the team lead with 14 assists.

Viera registered 10 points during the stretch, including a second four-goal performance against Seaford this fall. PuertoQuintanilla had a hat trick versus Clarke. On the flip side, Lawrence allowed only 13 goals in conference play with seniors Frank Echeverria, Cesar Revolorio and Franklin Arriega, along with junior Rich-

The Nassau Class A playoffs begin this week with a couple of play-in games, leading up to Friday’s first round which has Lawrence, the No. 8 seed in the 18-team bracket, hosting No. 9 Manhasset at 3 p.m. The winner will likely get top-seeded South Side in the quarterfinals on Oct. 26.

Peninsula NCJW celebrates 85 years of families with quality, affordable merchandise,” was founded in 1950, and remains a fixture on the first floor of the building at 342 Central Ave. in Lawrence that the organization occupies, with its offices on the second floor since the 1980s. In 1956, the Peninsula Child Counseling Center, a program to assist children and families in need of emotional help, was created. Volunteers focused on youngsters and seniors in the 1960s, becoming more involved with the Peninsula Educational Nursery for Three Year Olds and Preschool Vision Screening, and helping sponsor the Inwood Senior Care Center. In the 1970s, more programs were added to the section, membership grew and members advocated for, and then celebrated, the Roe v. Wade decision that protected women’s reproductive rights. In the 1980s, Peninsula took part in NCJW’s New York City Mothers in the Workplace campaign and the Washington, D.C., march for the Equal Rights Amendment, expanded the thrift store and purchased its first computer. The 1990s were filled with education and advocacy, as the section promoted voting, taught English to Russian toddlers, held its first Women’s Health Forum and started an intergenerational reading program at James A. Denver Elementary School in Valley Stream. Peninsula

It also trained teen advocates in comprehensive sex ed., and became affiliated with family-supporting organizations such as SIBSPlace and Sulam-LI. In the 2010s, Peninsula opened the Back 2 School Store, a pop-up department “store” where low-income and specialneeds children could “shop” for clothing, sneakers, winter coats and supplies-filled

backpacks at no cost. Covid shook things up in 2019, but Peninsula has tried its best to continue its charitable efforts in the 2020s. Because it has been unable to hold the Back 2 School Store in person, the bulk of its inventory was donated to Island Harvest for distribution. Peninsula has remained unable to resume some of its regular programs, such as preschool vision and dental screenings and Intergenerational Reading.

“It’s sad,” Administrator Bonnie Sperry said, “but we can’t wait for the day to get back and do it. We’re serving the community in any and every other way that we possibly can.” Last summer, Peninsula teamed up with the Five Towns-based Marion & Aaron Gural JCC to help with its food drive, donating nearly $4,000 worth of food. The thrift shop has remained the biggest fundraiser, reopening in June 2020 thanks to dedicated volunteers. Covid has changed the way the organization operates, with program meetings held on Zoom ever since. “We’ve had to do a lot of these via Zoom,” Sperry said, “but in a way, it opened it up to so many more people that might not be able to attend in person.” Peninsula members have chosen to keep Covid precautions in place, and to combine the 85th anniversary celebration with an annual Founder’s Day event, usually held in October, when they honor someone within or outside the organization. They now hope to celebrate both milestones in person next June. On Oct. 14, nearly a dozen Peninsula members received a proclamation from State Sen. Todd Kaminsky outside the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library. Section President Myra Garber was thrilled by the recognition. “We often say we’re the besthidden nonprofit,” Garber said. “It’s nice that our name is put out there. We do so many good things.”

Documentary series looks at entrepreneurs in turn led to other work for companies such as AT&T and Dell. Klein has had an entrepreneurial spirit since he was young: At 17, he was named head of camp at a summer job at the Rocking Horse Ranch in upstate Highland, where he designed all of the programs and managed 16 counselors overseeing more than 120 children per week. That same year, 1972, he co-founded Guide Rule, a community magazine covering East Flatbush, Brooklyn, which generated enough revenue to employ an artist and printed and distributed 10,000 copies. As TeleTime broke new ground in the video field, Nan Givner, then not yet married to Harold, took on the maledominated banking industry and earned multiple promotions at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, then worked at Manufacturers Hanover Trust Co. A few years later she joined Harold full-time at TeleTime, which is certified by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council and New York state as a woman-owned business. “Entrepreneurship could make things better for communities and countries, and could equal the playing field,” Nan said. “It’s an opportunity to move forward, and for people to get out of their [negative] situation.” About three years ago, the Kleins began the research for their latest project after a longtime friend, Steve Mariotti, brought the idea to them. Over some three decades, the Kleins have collaborated with Mariotti, who is the executive producer of the documentary series. Thirty years ago, Mariotti, who was teaching in New York City, used one of TeleTime’s entrepreneurship videos, and wrote the Kleins what he called a “fan letter.” What he had started with the entrepreneur series needed organization. “They were the right people to get this done,” said Mariotti. “I can’t thank them enough. Without them this would

The promoTional posTer for the documentary series “Trauma to Triumph – The Rise of the Entrepreneur.” have never gotten completed.” To find story subjects, Harold scoured local papers and other sources. “We were looking for entrepreneurs who had a tumultuous experience starting their own business,” Nan said. Holocaust survivor Sam Solarz, who lived in Hollis Hills, Queens, founded a meat wholesale company, called Meat Purveyors, in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx after first getting work cutting meat when he arrived in New York after World War II. As what became a $100 million com-

THE BEST PROSECUTOR TO KEEP NASSAU SAFE

pany grew, Solarz was threatened by the Mafia. “He took out a machete and chased them out of the factory,” Harold said, adding that the gangsters came to respect Solarz. Alcoholism, post-traumatic stress disorder and other issues led William Vandergriff, a Native American who volunteered to serve in Vietnam and was a Marine, to build a casket for his own burial five years ago, according to a story in the Battle Creek (Mich.) Enquirer that Harold found. Vandergriff started a company called The End LLC in 2019. “He launched his business engrossing himself in the artwork,” Nan said. “The caskets are gorgeous art.” Daniel Saulnier got involved with the project two years ago, and became creative director. He had done a few short documentaries, and the Kleins contacted him, looking for a director, he said. Matthew Sezer is also credited as a director and Saulnier is the editor. The documentary series “takes a stance and shows how we’re helping people come out of trauma,” Saulnier said. “It shows how those things make you better and not worse.” Production of “Trauma to Triumph – The Rise of the Entrepreneur” is continuing, as interviews with more story subjects have been scheduled and additional money is being raised, the Kleins said. On Sunday, at 5 p.m., the 92nd Street Y hosts the New York debut of the series, and a panel discussion afterward moderated by Eric Schurenberg, CEO of Mansueto Ventures/Inc. and Fast Company Media, with therapist Tova Friedman, the youngest Auschwitz survivor; Solarz’s son, Mark, VP of the company his father built; Nancy Preston, a West Point graduate who served in Iraq and Loree Sutton, who served as a brigadier general in the Army and was the highest-ranking psychiatrist. Sutton is a former commissioner of the city’s Department of Veterans Services. For in-person tickets or the streaming link, go to https:// www.92y.org/event/trauma-to-triumph.

Bus driver shortage highlights H-W roundtable

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

* We HaVe a Full Bar! *

Herald file photo

A nAtIonAL SchooL bus driver shortage has local impact as the issue was a focus of a Hewlett-Woodmere superintendent roundtable on Oct. 12. ered. Marino also said that drivers might not be willing to show proof of vaccination, get tested weekly, or be ready to feel safe in an enclosed, high-volume area such as a school bus while Covid numbers are still rising. The district is working with an independent to raise bus driver pay in hopes that this will add appeal to the job. “We’re competing against the shortage,” said Marino. Another parent, Miriam Abrams, is also frustrated with the shortage. “I just think it’s time for a different solution,” she said, “something really outside the box. Something has to give.”

Hewlett-Woodmere School District Superintendent Ralph Marino hosted his second roundtable since August on Oct. 12 to answer questions, on such issues as bus transportation, and address concerns of community members. A majority of the discussion focused on plans to address the bus driver shortage, a nationwide issue. Brian Ross, a district parent, attended the meeting to specifically ask about that issue. “I know that personally my kids, who go to more than one school, have been consistently a half hour or so late to school,” Ross said, “and other parents I have spoken to have similar experiences.” Although the district has no expected date for a solution, administration is actively looking closely to address the issue, Marino said. To shorten bus routes, the district is making note of students who are not using the bus system, as well as considering combining bus routes with neighboring school districts, he added. Marino noted that the bus driver shortage on Long Island is partly due to Bauman Bus Company, one of the largest on Long Island, going out business because of the pandemic. The use of charter busses in place of school busses is also being consid-

Native Five Towner using his art career for a good cause By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Adam Port, a native Five Towner, has made his long-time passion for sports and art into a successful career and hopes to donate 100 percent of the profits from his latest project to the Shaquille O’Neal foundation. Port has been a professional artist for more than 20 years. He specializes in a photorealism style with a focus on sports and pop culture, using mediums such as colored pencil, graphite, acrylic paint, oil paint, and especially, airbrush. Taken to a local craft show by his parents, he saw the airbrush technique for the first time and was amazed by the details that could be made by this medium. “He actually sat for a few hours at a booth of an artist airbrushing leather jackets,” said Port’s mother, Rona Port. “He watched his every move, taking in as much as he could from that man.” Port was hooked. “I remember telling my parents I want that,” he said. “They took me to an art supplies store and bought me my first airbrush. From that moment on, I was pretty obsessed with it.” His mother remembers it was when Port as 10 or 11, Port said he was few years older. A three-sport athlete at Hewlett High School, Port played soccer, basketball and baseball. Simultaneously, he took every art class that he could to immerse himself in different mediums. He especially bonded with Nick Lacetera, an art teacher who then doubled as the soccer coach. “Early on, he saw my potential and we became really tight,” Port said. It is a relationship that continues with Port occasionally demonstrating and speaking to Lacetera’s art classes. “He was very dedicated,” Lacetera recalled, “even back then, he knew he wanted to be a fulltime artist, so he was just one of the hardest working.” After graduating high school in 1996, Port studied illustration at Syracuse University’s school of Visual and Performing Arts. He incorporated sports into each of his classroom projects. At that time, he asked a friend of his, Brian Appell, to take one of his school projects to a Knicks-Bulls game in hopes that

Michael Jordan would see the painting and autograph the artwork. Although that did not happen, it still worked out for Port. A National Basketball Association photographer saw the painting and chatted with Appell, which ultimately led to Port earning a prestigious licensing agreement with the NBA. “Getting a contract with the NBA was his first break,” Rona proudly said. “We all went to New York City to see his display in the NBA store.” Port was eventually able to work with Jordan. Other Port clients include NBA star Carmelo Anthony, NFL Hall of Famer Ray Lewis, the Basketball Hall of Fame and Elvis Presley Enterprises. His “Ty Cobb Sliding” painting sold at a 2012 auction for nearly $25,000. Port has turned his passions into a dream career, achieving a personal shortterm goal of by having his art exhibited in NYC’s George Billis Gallery. Unfortunately, due to covid, paintings were hanging and ready to go but the show, originally scheduled for March 19, 2020, was cancelled days before. He is currently looking for new representation. “Long term, I’d love to see my artwork in some museums,” Port said, “but I’m pretty sure any artist would say that.” His current work, is Port’s favorite he said, an extension of his Art of the Sole sneaker painting series. Port has recently teamed up with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, who has signed a limited-edition series of the prints. “Adam was thrilled that the Shaquille organization loved his replication of his famous shoe,” Rona said. “Adam has done many charity events for other celebrities but this one is special – basketball is his second love next to his family.” The series is based on one of the first paintings from Port’s “Art of the Sole” series – “Pump It Up” (Reebok Pump Shaq Attaq Retro Orlando 2017). The painting features Shaq’s first signature shoe. All profits from the addition will be donated to the Shaquille O’Neal foundation that aims to “bring change in communities in need and help underserved youth achieve their full potential,” according to the mission statement on its website.

Boosting HALB’s systems, structures In the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach’s announcement that Manhattan native and now Lido Beach resident Adrianne Mittan was the new executive director it read “Adrianne is a warm, energetic school executive.” That warmth and energy is evident as she welcomed a complete stranger into HALB’s business office in Cedarhurst like an old friend and answered a reporter’s questions with enthusiasm and a more than an occasional laugh. Mittan, 37, graduated from The Frisch School, a yeshiva in New Jersey, New York University and John Jay College. She has worked for New York City’s Department of Education as a senior manager in human resources and finance, an administrative staff analyst for NYC and the executive director of Manhattan Day School, a Jewish day school, the past three years before taking the HALB job in July. “My overwhelmingly goal when I look at what I wanted to be when I grow up was really about giving back and helping,” Mittan said, as she sipped a coffee in her Spruce Street office. “I found myself in the public school world and I loved it. It was extraordinarily fulfilling work and I probably would have stayed the rest of my career in the public school system had I not been recruited to work at Manhattan Day

NEw HALB ExEcutivE Director Adriane Mittan at work in her Cedarhurst office. School.” Also recruited to join HALB, Mittan described herself as a systems person. She credits her predecessor, Richard Hagler, for working “tirelessly” to having what Mittan called “baseline” structures in place such as bank accounts so she can begin looking at the big picture. “HALB has such a rich history and it has such wonderful leadership that while we have so many systems and structures,

good, great things, what we’re working on now, and what I think my job will be is how to streamline the systems and structures,” she said. A perfect example is Mittan who is married and has four children in three HALB schools: one in Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva High School for Boys, two at HALB and one at Lev Chana Early Childhood Center. The other HALB school is Stella K. Abraham

High School for Girls. “Now you have to call three different people if you have kids in three different schools, to me that is not the most efficient system,” she said, noting the plan is to centralize admissions and other systems such as social media. If a person at one of the schools does it well, they can do it for all four schools. At Manhattan Day School, Mittan became acquainted with Maury Litwack, the executive director of the Orthodox Union’s Teach Coalition that advocates for more educational opportunities and support for Jewish schools nationwide. “HALB is getting one of the best in the field,” Litwack said, noting that he worked with Mittan when she was at MDS. “She is dedicated to Jewish education. An organized person who brings the best practices from the public school space and the private school space. She is constantly learning.” Before Mittan came to HALB, it began the New York State Association of Independent Schools accreditation process. In the final stages of accreditation, a visit by officials is tentatively scheduled for the spring. Mittan aims to create the systems and structures that benefit all of HALB, maintains standards and reminds herself that the students’ education is at the forefront of everything she does exhibiting student artwork in the office. “To me, it’s very exciting,” she said, “having a problem is not a problem. It’s an excitement to say, great how can we fix this.”

The 100-year-old gas main under Cedarhurst Avenue that stretches from Peninsula Boulevard to West Broadway will be replaced by National Grid began last week, with the project expected to take roughly four months, officials said. Cedarhurst village officials termed it “a critical infrastructure improvement.” After completion of the work, all of the homes on Cedarhurst Avenue will be connected to the new

main. National Grid or its contractors will contact each homeowner to coordinate that part of the work. There will be rolling closures on parts of Cedarhurst Avenue for nearly two weeks after the work gets under way. Questions can be directed to the village’s Superintendent of Public Works, Frank Parise at (516) 295-5770 or email village@cedarhurst.gov. —Jeffrey Bessen

HERE WE GO, IT’S FALL....REMEMBER US! NO JOB TOO BIG, NO TREE TOO SMALL!

If Your Plumbing STInkS

A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show structural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.

Ask The Architect

You need the whole story without the sales part. Just like any purchase, issues you might onte eeper not expect are still important, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultra-violet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced many issues with their construction.

• Bathrooms • Basements • Wall Paper Removal • Power Washing

516-297-1885

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful.

Pre-engineered panel systems are designed by the company, hopefully by engineers, and should come with plans, from the manufacturer, that can be sealed and signed by their in-house engineer. If not, plans may need to be drawn from scratch by an architect or engineer that you hire so those plans can be integrated with your house. Integrated means that the company generally just sells you a product and doesn’t necessarily give any indication of how to support the unit or how to attach the unit system to your house so that it won’t leak or move. This is the general failing of the system, since, as I experienced with most of the installations, the part I could detail was free of leaking or movement, but the units themselves leaked nearly every time. We could detail how the edges of the unit could be sealed and redundantly weather-stripped and flashed, but the frames around the glass and wall edges would unseal and leak. I even met with the corporate president/owner and identified the specific problems. Promises to correct leak issues were made but not kept, and eventually I gave up. I looked at a two-year-old system while discussing other work for a home recently. The owner described the back-and-forth misery he and his family were experiencing with their sunroom and the company. Even 25 years after I gave up, the same company is still doing things the same way. You need a detail-oriented architect and installer, even if you think you don’t. The cost of doing things twice is much greater. 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.

follow the developments in the political world to keep myself up to date on the issues. Sadly, the more I read, the more I’m convinced that the American political system has been poisoned by aggressive partisan politics and legislative gridlock. Some of you will say that it’s been that way for a long time, but as a factual matter, today’s politics have reached an all-time low. I served in state government for 23 years. During that time, I was fortunate to have been a part JERRY of the legislative leadership. On KREMER countless occasions I would accompany the Democratic Assembly speaker to a meeting with the Republican State Senate majority leader. During those meetings, we would go over our legislative wish lists and agree on what legislation could be passed in both houses. When the meetings ended, we shook hands and moved forward on an agreed agenda.

There are so many things wrong with the American political system today that it’s hard to pick the worst examples. Congress is inhabited by a bunch of donothings. The Republican members have tied their fortunes to former President Donald Trump. They live in constant fear of antagonizing Trump, and of having him seek primary opponents to oust them. They have pretended to buy into the bogus claim that the election was stolen and promote the lie, even though they privately admit that the election was done fairly. The Democratic Party doesn’t deserve any accolades, either. A small group of progressives is torpedoing the programs of their own president and refusing to accept any compromise. President Biden’s Build Back Better proposal contains many programs that should be embraced by elected officials in both parties. Everyone knows that child care is critical for working mothers. The nation needs better-funded child care programs now. Biden has proposed that there be free tuition at community col-

leges. That could help many young people get a start toward a career. For the past 20-plus years, there has been an ongoing debate about allowing Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug costs, and that idea should be a winner. But the drug company lobbyists have contributed heavily to the campaigns of many members of Congress, and this proposal will die in committee. I’ve been voting since age 18, and I never once heard anyone criticize the voting process. Some candidates have won or lost elections by a handful of votes, and they have accepted the results. For the first time ever, our voting system is being challenged by the former president, who refuses to accept the fact that he lost fair and square. At his suggestion, a number of states have been forced to do audits of the 2020 election results, and all of the audits show that the election was conducted honestly. Thanks to Trump’s campaign against the ballot process, dozens of hardworking election officials have gotten death threats.

he partisan poison in no way resembles my experience in the State Legislature.

The partisan poison has been responsible for making our health care system a red state-blue state battle. Most of the states headed by Republican governors have refused to encourage people to wear masks or get vaccinated. Emergency rooms in their states are at capacity and emergency surgical procedures have been denied to their residents. Every day there is a new story about families losing loved ones due to their failure to be vaccinated. Those tragedies could have been avoided if the system had not been politicized. The vitriol created by the former president has even found its way down to the local level. School board members have been verbally attacked over mask requirements and faced threats of physical harm. It is horrible to think that America’s political system has sunk this far. Maybe the voting public will awaken before it’s too late to stop the avalanche of partisan fighting. Let’s hope so. 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.

Becoming the expert in your own disease

t’s the job nobody wants, but when you get a diagnosis of breast cancer, the job is yours. You must become the world’s expert in your own disease. Ten years ago, I discovered a small lump in my breast. As I wrote then, “You are driving down a road, all is well, the future looks untroubled and then suddenly the wheels fall off the car, your hair catches fire and you head over a cliff.” In retrospect, that seems a bit melodramatic, but it was how RANDI I felt. KREISS In a quick and disorienting process, I got the bad news, I had biopsies, a lumpectomy, radiation, and treatment for five years with an aromatase inhibitor, an estrogen inhibiting drug. You take a pill every day, and it suppresses the estrogen in your body when estrogen has been found to be the factor in your cancer. Every one of these steps, even 10 years ago, required personal decisions. One doctor asked if I wanted a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. Did I want six-week radiation, three-week radia-

tion or one-week radiation with a radioactive implant? Should I stay on the aromatase inhibitor for the basic five years or continue treatment? The second-most destabilizing and stressful part of having breast cancer — the first being fear of death — was feeling unprepared to make these choices. I can tell you what got me through. I found excellent doctors. I brought my husband or another “good listener” to every appointment. I read everything I could (except personal blogs) about the choices, and I accepted the help of a few friends who had had breast cancer and could guide me. At one point I remember sitting with a friend as I was deciding between lumpectomy or mastectomy and asking her to just think through all the pros and cons of each. There are women who cannot undertake research and decision-making. I understand. The best path, then, is to ask someone to be your proxy in researching the options, find experienced doctors and go with the best advice. Let trusted family or friends help you make the choices of treatment, when there are choices. For me, the job of learning about the

disease and my options, while anxietyproducing, also conferred some sense of control. Websites like breastcancer.org, mskcc.org, the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Susan B. Komen offer updated, detailed information on every aspect of breast cancer. My job isn’t over. Now, 10 years after my diagnosis, many of the protocols have changed. New drugs have come on the market. Chemotherapy is used more judiciously. Genomic testing helps inform who will benefit from chemotherapy and who will not. This testing becomes more sophisticated every year, and has saved thousands and thousands of women from the rigors and side effects of chemotherapy. Drugs are now available to treat previously untreatable cancers, and new therapies and medications can extend the lives of women with metastatic breast cancer. The gold standard for my type of cancer used to be five years on the aromatase inhibitor; now some studies indicate that extended treatment is beneficial for some women. You must keep asking questions. The use of MRIs in addition to mammography for follow-up testing is

y story began, as so many do, with the discovery of a small lump.

encouraged by some doctors and discouraged by others who say there are too many false positives that lead to too many unnecessary biopsies. These are hard choices to make when even doctors sometimes disagree. All that any one woman can do is become educated, find doctors who specialize in the disease, make the best decisions you can in the moment, and know that the chances are better today than ever before that you will recover and live a full life. Part of the job is to know or discover any family history, insist on genomic testing if the findings may inform your treatment path and find a friend who can be your guide. Decisions must be made in the beginning and then again as you age, because the body of research increases, protocols change, and you may decide to take advantage of something new that will improve chances of good health going forward. As we mark Breast Cancer Awareness month, I am encouraged by the access patients have to new regimens. Please, be sure you understand all the options as you move through treatment and recovery. The job never ends. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

The sharp decline in mammograms is worrying

here is perhaps no disease that strikes greater fear in the hearts of women than breast cancer. It is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths, behind lung cancer, and the second-most-common form of cancer among women, behind skin cancer. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to honor the many who have died and to spread the word that early detection is key to preventing deaths. It’s an excellent time to have a mammogram or make an appointment to get one. Screenings and treatments, however, have decreased dramatically since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. Roughly one-third of women who should have had mammograms missed their annual screenings over the past 18 months, according to the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. That is a deeply concerning statistic. Because of the sharp reduction in mammograms, doctors are now starting to find more advanced forms of breast cancer than normal. Medical experts are urging women to be screened and to keep up any treatments and surgeries. Breast cancer occurs when cells grow beyond their normal bounds. The cancer can then metastasize — that is, spread through the blood or lymph systems to other parts of the body. The average age of diagnosis for breast cancer is 62, though experts recommend that women begin having annual mammograms at age 45, and as early as 40 for those with histories of breast cancer in their families. Though the symptoms can range widely, some of the most common include: ■ A lump, knot or thickening under the

In June 2016, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the Get Screened, No Excuses Law, which gives public employees four hours of paid leave per year for breast cancer screening and eliminates such obstacles as co-payments and annual deductibles. The measure also requires 210 hospitals and clinics to offer extended hours for screenings to help women who have difficulty scheduling mammograms during a typical 9-to-5 workday. Screening is among the most important ways to prevent breast cancer, but there are other actions you can take to reduce your risk of developing it. According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, a woman who exercises four hours per week reduces her risk. Eating a nutritious, low-fat diet can help. A diet high in fat increases the risk by triggering the

letters Time to cut unneeded fees To the Editor: I recently joined my colleagues in the Nassau County Legislature’s Republican majority in introducing legislation to cut almost $100 million in county fees that would otherwise be incurred by hundreds of thousands of Nassau residents. This money would be made up with tens of millions of dollars in additional sales tax revenue over the amount projected in the county budget. After County Executive Laura Curran vetoed millions of dollars in tax cuts proposed by the Legislature in last year’s budget, and with reports showing sales tax revenue $300 million higher this year than the administration projected, the majority is taking this step to eliminate almost $100 million in county fees paid by residents — specifically, a tax map verification and public safety and recording fees. The $350 tax map verification fee is charged by the assessor for the verification of the section, block and lot information contained in any deed, mortgage or satisfaction, or any modification or con-

hormone estrogen, which fuels tumor growth. So fill your plate with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Compared with non-drinkers, women who have one alcoholic drink a day have a very small increase in risk. Those who have two to five drinks daily, however, have about 1½ times the risk of women who don’t drink. According to the women’s breast-feeding advocacy group La Leche League International, and the New York State Department of Health, studies confirm that breast-feeding reduces the risk of cancer. Research shows that the longer a woman breast-feeds, the more protected she is against the disease. The American Cancer Society says that new technology to fight breast cancer is emerging, and that modern medicine’s understanding of the risk factors is also improving. Consulting with your doctor and being vigilant about your health are the most important actions that a woman can take. The key is awareness. Know your body, and know your risks. Prevention and early detection are the best weapons in the battle against breast cancer.

opinions

ace and racism are in the news and on our minds. In response, many thoughtful commentaries have referred to W.E.B. Du Bois and James Baldwin, both of whom, in their day, wrote about the “Negro problem.” In 1884, The Atlantic published “The Negro Problem,” by N.S. Shaler. One conclusion from reading Shaler is that the “problem” was what to do with people who were brought here involuntarily, enslaved and then set free. Americans wondered if they were ready RoBeRt A. for freedom. For what work were sCott they best suited? In what ways were they prepared to participate in community affairs? In an earlier decade, commentators talked about a “Chinese problem.” Chinese left poverty in China to seek riches in the California Gold Rush. When it ended, they needed work and were hired as cheap labor for the Intercontinental Railroad. But local white men complained that the Chinese were taking jobs and starting businesses that competed with them. They became a “problem.” In the early 20th century, other Americans spoke of a “Jewish problem,” as they had earlier of a “Woman problem.” Reading about these “problems,” I

recalled talking with a guide in South Africa. Corruption in government was a major topic in the news, as were the rolling blackouts caused by an inadequate power grid. Homes and businesses went without power for hours a day. It was not only bad for frozen food, but also a threat to health and safety as well as a hindrance to starting new businesses and recruiting businesses to the country. When I asked about the problems, the guide blamed the African National Congress and the elected Black leaders. “They were not ready to govern the country,” she said. So I asked the obvious questions: Why not? Where did they live? What opportunities had been denied to them? Who had controlled the schools and universities that would have prepared them for citizenship and governing? What were the consequences of decades of Apartheid and forced poverty? There was an awkward silence. I think I had made my point. Perhaps the “problems” lay not with the “Negro,” the Chinese, the Jew, or the woman. Perhaps the problem was with those in authority who made use of people when it was beneficial but had no plan for them when conditions changed. Black people were imported to be enslaved and build the economy. Chinese were hired at low wages to build a railroad, and then excluded because, it was claimed, they

lacks, Jews, Chinese, women: All were seen as threats by those with the real power.

LetteRs solidation that is presented for recording. There would be no fee under the proposed bill. The public safety fee is now $55, and is assessed on most traffic violations, including red light camera infractions. Under the proposed bill, there would be no fee. The $300 recording fee is charged by the county for the recording and indexing of a deed, mortgage, “other instrument,” lien or statutory notice of a lien and for the satisfaction or cancellation of a lien or statutory notice of a lien. It also applies to corrections of such documents that would need to be re-indexed. The new fee under the proposed legislation would be $50. I am proud to stand with Nassau’s seniors, veterans and working-class families to cut $100 million in county fees. As residents continue to struggle with the effects of Curran’s reassessment, this legislation would provide much-needed relief to tens of thousands who are struggling to afford to keep living in our communities, especially those on fixed incomes. I urge Curran to support these concrete measures that would make Nassau County more affordable and provide lasting relief for our residents by signing this legislation when it reaches her desk. BIll GAylOR Nassau County legislator, 6th District

took jobs from white men. Jews were subject to virulent anti-Semitism and accusations of plans to control the world. Women, who were thought to be unsuited for work outside the home, weren’t a problem when they staffed munitions and aircraft factories while men were at war, but after the war, what to do with them? What are we to make of this summary? If the “problem” doesn’t lie with those identified, then perhaps we have a different problem. The common element in each of those claims is that they were made by white men. As long as we have a system of patriarchy, i.e., a system of power in which men are paramount, we will have a “woman problem.” And if we have a legacy of structural racism targeting nonwhite people, as seen in the actions against Native Americans as well as Africans, then we will have a “problem” with people of color. And as long as people blame scapegoats for economic difficulties that may actually be the result of government policies, society will suffer anti-Semitism and other prejudices. We should argue against these attitudes and behaviors on moral and ethical grounds, since the legal grounds don’t seem to be sufficient. We can also argue against them on economic grounds. For example, these “problem” groups account for more than half of the U.S. population.

Why would any rational thinker intentionally exclude more than 50 percent of those who are potential workers, consumers and societal assets? I would say that any policy-makers who argue for their exclusion because they are “problems” are themselves the problem, and our democracy can’t afford to abide them. The moral, ethical and economic reasons I cite are the basis for initiatives promoting respect for diversity, equity and inclusion as advocated by citizen groups and adopted by corporations and nonprofits alike. These initiatives are not anti-American; they support the American ideals of equality and equitable participation in governing. They are not anti-capitalist; they favor the idea of capitalism devoid of cronyism and insider information. We need to know our history, the lowest moments as well as the highest, in order to continue pursuing the American experiment we have pledged to achieve through successive improvements. Wouldn’t it be better if people of all backgrounds were respectful of one another and seen as individuals with ideas, imagination and capabilities that together can create a world that is safe and secure for all?

Hochul will replace doctors with National Guard? To the Editor: Gov. Kathy Hochul is considering mandating that unvaccinated medical personnel be replaced by members of the National Guard. That is a totally irresponsible and nonsensical idea. Why are unvaccinated medical personnel losing their jobs at a time when, in my opinion, they are most needed? Where in the National Guard would trained personnel, currently working in the medical profession, come from — other hospitals and medical facilities? How does the gover nor propose to accomplish this plan? To replace personnel in our hospitals, Hochul would apparently have to take them from other hospitals or medical facilities. Does this make any sense? Obviously not. According to a published report, only 38.5 percent of National Guard personnel have been vaccinated, and do not have to be vaccinated until next June, but medical personnel working in New york hospitals must be vaccinated now or be terminated. Hochul is offering an irrational, idiot-
