Christopher Mendoza with his mural at Franklin Early Childhood Center during the 2022-23 school year. The mural was inspired by the book ‘The Forever Tree,’ by Tereasa Surratt, Donna Lukas and Nicola Slater.

Hewlett High School student Christopher Mendoza has a special ways of letting people know what’s on his mind: his art.

The sociable 20-year-old Mendoza, who is on the autism spectrum, discovered a love of art as a student in Deirdre Chambers’ class at Woodmere Middle School. He has since created a portfolio of artwork comprising comic strips based on characters he created, called the Truffles.

Children’s mental health could be impacted by reports on conflicts

By HERNESTO GALDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

The war between Israel and Hamas is nearly a month old, and one Hofstra University psychologist says that the conflict, and the intense media coverage of it, can have a negative effect on students’ mental health.

“It’s definitely worth thinking about the broader context in which youth mental health has deteriorated in the country over the past decade, and worsened during the pandemic,” Amy Lee, a licensed clinical

psychologist and an assistant professor of psychology, said of young people in the United States. “Now, as we’re dealing with these constant headlines about the war, the uncertainty and worry can cause a sense of danger or threat to safety for many children, resulting in many different emotions.

“We worry the most about students with pre-existing mental health needs,” Lee added.

Since the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, the terrorist group has posted propaganda on social media platforms such as X, for-

merly known as Twitter, in the form of un-moderated messaging and first-person video, using the internet to spread terror and antisemitism.

The Hewlett-Woodmere and Lawrence school districts have recommended ways in which to protect their students’ mental health, inside and outside school.

“The well-being of our students and staff remains our highest priority,” Barbara Giese, a Hewlett-Woodmere district spokeswoman, wrote in an email. “Students, parents, and

Collecting needed supplies for Israelis Beth Sholom volunteers pack 170 bags, baby food, books and more

By PARKER SCHUG pschug@liherald.com

Volunteers came from local high schools and included seniors and special needs children, who helped pack 170 duffel bags full of baby food, books, clothing, toiletries and toys at Congregation Beth Sholom that will be sent to Israel through Migdal Ohr, an organization that aids atrisk youth, orphans and struggling families.

From Oct. 16 to Oct. 19 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. volunteers accepted and organized donations at the Lawrence synagogue. Eli Sheva, Suzanne Gurvitch and Jenny Lent, the leaders of the shul collection site,

were asked by Migdal Ohr help in gather and send supplies.

Migdal Ohr was established in 1972 and since the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel has shifted for the new demand for aid.

“They have displaced families from the south who lost everything, orphans, who they now have to clothe and feed,” Sheva said about the organization.

The Israel-based group contacted the three women on Friday, Oct. 13, an hour before sundown, the start of Shabbos.

Sheva, Gurvitch and Lent alerted the Parker Schug/Herald community on Sunday morning that Rifki Freundlich, left, Shayna Freundlich, Eli Sheva and Suzanne Gurvitch coordinated donations would be accepted starting the donation of assorted supplies for Israel through the organization Migdal Ohr.

Cedarhurst organization targets Israel’s needs pschug@liherald.com

One Israel Fund, a Cedarhurst organization is tackling specific Israeli needs. Scott Feltman, Hewlett resident and executive vice president, said that the group’s initiatives have been heightened since the recent conflict in Israel.

“Our organization is nothing like it was prior to Oct. 7,” Feltman said.

He has a small staff of two full-time employees in the United States and two in Israel, as well as two part-time employees in the U.S. and Israel. The typical year includes a few projects and fundraising, last year totaling $3 million. However, since Oct. 7, the organization has collected $2.5 million to fund relief and support services in Judea and Samaria.

The organization studies the specific supplies in demand in those regions of Israel through communication with security directors and rapid response teams, Feltman said.

“We work in a very organized and sufficient matter and we know exactly what our priorities are,” he said.

Recently, the One Israel Fund staff has been “spread thin,” according to Feltman. Due to the influx of donations for Israel from grassroots groups, many pieces of equipment have gone to waste due to not meeting defense regulations, including armored vests, placing more of a burden on Feltman’s organization to

Cedarhurst based, One Israel Fund’s Marc Provisor, far left, Yohai Provisor, second from left and nonmember, Shauli Provisor, far right all support efforts to bring necessary supplies to communities in Israel. provide proper supplies for communities.

“We are getting the equipment out there,” Marc Provisor, One Israel Fund’s director of security projects said. “It may not be as fast as people want. We’re working with the supply chain, but we’re getting the equipment to the right places and we’re getting out the right equipment. And we’re going to keep doing that, because that’s what we’ve been doing and that’s what we do.”

Since the organization’s start in 1994, they have provided Judea and Samaria with medical, security, community, recreational and educational support by working directly with civilian response teams.

One project put on hold since the Hamas attack is the development of the Binyamin Medical Center, set to provide urgent care to 45 underserved Israeli communities.

“It’s on hold right now because there’s no construction almost anywhere,” Feltman said. “Supplies are hard to get because supplies have been taken to the army, Jewish labor has been called up.”

Instead, the One Israel fund is continuing to provide security supplies like they have in the past.

“Our motto in the organization is to be proactive,” Feltman said.

Treasurer Jay Kestenbaum, a Lawrence resident, has been a donor to the organization since its inception.

“Because of the relationship we’ve had with many of these communities over the years, we’ve hear first hand from their own administration, from the mayors of the town, from the local security forces, what they actually need,” he said.

Feltman went to Jerusalem on Oct. 23 and was set to return on Oct. 31.

“My security team begged me not to come and the areas that we deal with are kind of intense right now,” he said.

“I couldn’t hold back.”

Since spending time with his staff in Israel, Feltman has been moved by the community response.

“In the states I see all the anti-Israel rhetoric and it’s almost like I feel safer here than I do there,” he said. “The level of unity in this country right now is at an all time high. Everyone here has united and this country has had plenty of divisions. You don’t see any of that.”

PSEG project aims to enhance reliability

By PARKER SCHUG

pschug@liherald.com

PSEG Long Island is installing 3,000 feet of new underground transmission will remove 500 feet of overhead wire and replace and install transmission and distribution poles around Hewlett as part of a system-wide $302 million project that is expected to be completed in February.

Work got underway in September for the project that PSEG said should improve the sustainability and efficiency of the system’s infrastructure, even in severe weather conditions. The utility began publicizing what it’s calling a reliability project on Sept. 1 and work began that month.

“We are committed to making every effort to ensure our grid is resilient during storms,” Jeremy Walsh, PSEG communications senior generalist wrote in an email.

Daytime work has been planned for sites near the intersection of West Broadway and Serena Road, and under the Long Island Rail Road tracks near Railroad Avenue. Overnight projects include work on West Broadway between Nassau Street and near the Broadway intersection, on Railroad Avenue spanning to Franklin Avenue, on Station Plaza between Franklin Avenue and New Street, on Hewlett Plaza between New Street and West Broadway and on West Broadway between Hewlett

Plaza and Broadway.

PSEG said that they do not anticipate planned power outages throughout this project and they anticipate minimal traffic and parking disruptions. However, the impacts of the work were being felt by residents and businesses.

Michelle Quimosing-Cruz, director of Physical Therapy at Progress in Motion Physical Therapy on West Broadway in Hewlett, said she sometimes sees large unlabeled trucks, potentially related to the work, along West Broadway and Serena Road, which is the only access point to the parking

lot of her business.

“On occasion when they’re here, some of our patients find it hard to get around, so that they can get to our parking lot,” Quimosing-Cruz said.

She said the traffic, however, is something they’re used to in the area.

“In a sense it hasn’t really been that bad,” Quimosing-Cruz said. “The daughter of one of my new patients brought in some paper work and said she was just five minutes away, but because of usual traffic here, it took her longer.”

Quimosing-Cruz understands the interruption and is not upset about the

work.

“It’s definitely an impact, because they’re blocking our entrance to the parking lot, but if it’s a necessary repair, of course, we can’t afford them not doing it,” she said.

Kevin Ra, office assistant at NYU Langone Medical Associates Hewlett works in the same West Broadway building, but has not seen a major impact on traffic from the project.

“I get here around 9 o’clock in the morning and we don’t really experience much traffic,” Ra said. “I know certain days when they have trucks out, it’s a little more, but I can only assume that if there are other disturbances down the line, that would amplify it, but it really hasn’t been too much.”

Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association President David Freidman said that the project has not caused a major change, but future development in the Five Towns may.

“If they continue to add more of these projects the traffic will come to a complete stand still,” Friedman said.

“This project seems to be much more limited.”

Elisa Bachrow Hinken, an Inwood resident, was unaware of the specific project, but remains concerned about the navigability of the Five Towns.

“The bottom line is we are a very vulnerable community, traffic-wise,” she wrote in a Facebook post.

At 10:30 a.m. on Everit Avenue in Hewlett Harbor, there was a fire involving a Sanitary District 1 garbage truck on Oct. 24.

Gerard LeClair, the road superintendent for Hewlett Harbor, was at the scene at the time of the incident. After spotting smoke emanating from the truck, he used a fire extinguisher to put out the blaze, according to Doreen Grace, the deputy village clerk.

“The (Hewlett) fire department told us that him doing that did help to contain the fire,” Grace said.

George Pappas, the superintendent of S.D. 1 said the cause of the fire is unknown.

“We don’t know how it started, chemicals or battery exploded or something but our first priority is to just get it controlled,” he said.

In Cedarhurst, a house fire at 49 Columbia Ave. resulted in the blocking off of the cross streets Central Avenue and Broadway. The Lawrence-Cedarhurst and Inwood fire departments were among the first responders on the scene, __________________

From a non-playoff losing record to the Nassau County Class A finals with a first-year coach, the Lawrence boys’ soccer team has done the impossible.

The Golden Tornadoes storybook season raged on at Farmingdale State College last Saturday night when it upset previously unbeaten Floral Park, 2-1, with a second-half rally. Lawrence moves onto Wednesday’s title game against Mineola at Mitchell Field at 6:30 p.m.

After the final whistle, the players mobbed each other in joyful hugs with new coach Gerard Lagasse right in the middle.

“It’s my first year of coaching varsity soccer,’’ Lagasse said. “To be in the County Class A final, it’s unbelievable and a dream come true for me and the kids. The boys were so happy and excited. A lot of emotion.’’

The defense was sublime and led by senior captain centerback Emerson Mijango. “Just being a part of it, making history for Lawrence feels amazing to me,’’ Mijango said.

After trailing 1-0 at halftime, Lawrence got goals five minutes apart from Brandon Moran and Kevin Mendoza early in the second half.

In two tries, the Golden Tornadoes hadn’t beaten Floral Park in losing in the season opener, 2-0, and tying the Knights 1-1. Floral Park had allowed just five goals all year.

The semifinal victory moved Lawrence’s record to 9-2-3 after being 3-7-1 in 2022.

“A fantastic feeling,’ Lagasse

Kevin Mendoza, right, scored the game-winning goal Saturday night as Lawrence knocked off top-seeded Floral Park in the Class A semis. said. “(Floral Park) is a great, well-organized team. I told them at halftime when we were down, 1-0: they looked defeated.

I said, “listen we’re a resilient team. We don’t stop, play with confidence, keep playing together. And that’s what we did. We moved the ball around better and persevered.’’

The equalizer came 10 minutes into the second half when Moran fired it in from 10 yards out off a scramble. The gamewinner was off a throw-in by Alex Samayoa. The ball ricocheted off a Floral Park player and Mendoza headed the deflection into the net.

“We’ve been doing this since the beginning of the season,’’ Mijango said. “We go down 1-0

and, as a team, we don’t go down. That’s what I love about Lawrence. We get scored on, we put our heads up and keep going like it’s the last minutes of the season.’’

The backline was flawless.

Mijano, looking to play college soccer, was aided on defense by centerback Benjamn Perez.

Senior striker Jonathan Valiente also was a force despite not scoring. “(Valiente) had a vital role,’’’ Lagasse said. “He didn’t have any points but was a big part of how we scored. He works his butt off for his teammates.’’

Goalie Gabriel Rosales was superb, making 10 saves.

“We knew after the second game (against Floral Park), we

can play with them,’’ Lagasse said. “They weren’t happy they had to play us. They knew we’d be a tough out.’’

Now it’s onto Mineola, which beat Locust Valley 5-0 in the other semifinal. Lawrence is also 0-1-1 against Mineola (2-0 loss, 3-3 draw.)

“We’re a big big underdog,’’ Mijango said. “They’re probably going to be like “we beat them already, it’s going to be easy. We have to prove them wrong. We’ve been doing that all season.’’

Mineola’s tactics are similar to Lawrence as a technical, short-passing, possessionheavy team. “We’re playing elite right now so it should be a battle,’’ Lagasse said.

guest column

What began as a beautiful holiday of Sukkot ended in unimaginable devastation and tragedy. In the face of the horrific events in Israel, Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School students returned to school on Oct. 9 somber, but more united than ever in support of our homeland.

Emotions were high, our hearts in pain, but we knew the solution was to act. Students, faculty, and administration joined together to share inspiring words, uplifting songs, and intense prayer on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Israel. From that moment on, HAFTR High joined together as a united community to exhibit our support and solidarity for Israel in whatever ways we could.

A day later HAFTR students and families attended a rally in support of Israel at Eisenhower Park. Attendees could be seen waving Israeli flags, holding up posters, and standing in solidarity as they asserted the importance of Israel and the soldiers who

NASSAU HERALD — November 2, 2023

High school students stand strong with Israel music and dancing. From start to finish, the weekend was filled with meaning, celebration, and hope for peace.

As the weekend came to an end, news spread of many HAFTR alumni who were returning to Israel to serve in the Israeli Defense Force. HAFTR takes pride in our alumni who have the passion and courage to serve and protect the land and our people. This decision is not only a testament to the strong values and deep connection they hold with Israel but also the values that HAFTR strives to nurture in all of its students. As our alumni head to Israel to serve, we honor their dedication to securing a future for Israel and the Jewish people, and we pray for their continued strength and safe return.

In these challenging times, HAFTR’s bonds grow stronger as our community stands strong in achdut, the Hebrew word for unity. Through rallies, contributions, and honoring our alumni, the HAFTR community continues to get stronger and fill the world with love, hope, and confidence.

Hot time for fire safety In Woodmere The Woodmere Fire Department swung open the doors of its firehouse at 20 Irving Place for four hours on Oct. 22 and welcomed the community to the annual open house to learn about fire prevention Fire department members provided live demonstrations of extinguishing a fire and offered rides on the trucks.

Made up of roughly 60 volunteer members, the department responded to nearly 1,000 calls (fire and medical emergencies) in 2022 as part of Nassau County’s 3rd Battalion, which includes the Hewlett, Inwood, Lawrence-Cedarhurst, Meadowmere Park and Valley Stream fire departments.

To volunteer with the Woodmere department, call (516) 3742000.

The village board planned the event in hopes of providing a relaxed setting for neighbors to discuss experiences living in Hewlett Bay Park, voice concerns and ask questions of the board members. Salomon also said this is a good opportunity to put Hewlett Bay Park culture on display for new residents.

The weather did not cooperate as the threat of rain forced Hewlett Bay Park village to hold it meet and greet inside Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls instead of the lawn on Oct. 15, however it was no less fun.

Adults hung out and talked, keeping warm with cups of coffee and the children were entertained with balloon animals, jumping castle, clowns, face paint, magic acts, and ice cream.

“I personally didn’t realize how many new people moved into the neighborhood through the last two, three years,” Alex Salomon, the village mayor, said

In recognition of the civilian casualties and the conflict between Israel and Hamas Lawrence Woodmere Academy is hosting a fundraiser. The Helping Hands committee, led by Nadia Kalyan, the school’s director of Development, is launching a Dress Down Week — from Oct. 23 to 27 — the students are permitted to deviate from the uniform with the necessary donation of $10 each day. All proceeds are sent directly to the International Committee of the Red Cross in support of all victims affected by the war.

The students have shown great maturity and respect for the unrest that seems to be part of the zeitgeist of the last decade. Philosophical juxtapositions of Judaism and Christianity have been popular topics of discussion over lunch, students sharing Cheez-Its while swapping stories of favorite childhood rabbis or the most influential preachers.

Two students acknowledged the resemblance today’s spirit bears to the bold campaigns of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 — however, it was noted that further awareness should be spread regarding the devastating antisemitism still prevalent in international culture.

Three years ago, LWA was a home filled with members and avid supporters of the Black community. Despite the smaller percentage of Jewish students, we have encouraged that activist spirit to arise once more within everyone. Not everyone may identify with the marginalized group being persecuted today, but we all can engage in work that serves to conquer oppressive discrimination.

LWA is also hosting another fundraiser this month on Oct. 30. Woodmere will find all LWA students crowded on the front lawn, rose-colored ribbons pinned to shirt pockets, decked in pink spirit.

Our Breast Cancer Awareness WalkOut is a project the Student Council has passionately endeavored to coordinate since September. The charge is $5 to participate, and the funds will be donated to the National Breast Cancer Awareness Foundation in homage to the condition’s designated month. We are eager to demonstrate our commitment to action, because “just knowing isn’t enough.”

Creating, and sharing, his artwork ConTInuEd FroM pagE 1

Mendoza was invited to create a mural in the basement outside the cafeteria at the Franklin Early Childhood Center in Hewlett, relating to the theme of the book, “The Forever Tree” by Tereasa Surratt, Donna Lukas and Nicola Slater.

Mendoza used a paintbrush, acrylic paint and a cup of water to create the mural, which took between five and six months to complete, working three days a week.

Half the mural was based on the book, highlighting the tree that the animals and humans gather around, and the other half added a signature touch of Mendoza’s creativity with his Truffle characters having a picnic by the tree.

Mendoza said FECC students reacted positively to the mural, and he was invited to create another one based on the book, “This Is a Story” by John Schu, which follows a young girl whose love for seahorses leads her to the local library, where she meets a librarian that looks like her. That’s where she finds other people who share an interest in reading, and the book shows how words lead to human connections.

Mendoza recently visited the FECC cafeteria, where the mural will be hung.

While being interviewed, he drafted ideas on the message and art he had in mind for his project for students at the early childhood center.

“It’ll (make) them want to read,”

NOW LEASING

/

Mendoza said.

A collaboration between the school district and Cedarhurst-based Kulanu Academy provides services for Mendoza with its high school academic development program, helping students develop potential skills and knowledge to perform in school and then professionally in a workplace.

Mendoza is gaining some of that experience working part-time at the E Magine Toys store in Oceanside.

“He’s a talented guy,” said Stephen Krown, Kulanu Academy’s job coach, who works with Mendoza. “Chris has mastered his art and is continuing to grow and develop.

“The challenge, and that is for all artists, with disabilities or not, is how to convert that into something that is going to help him or find a career path.”

Mendoza’s art has been evident throughout the high school, including his comic strip in the school newspaper, the Hewlett Spectrum.

The comic strip’s theme, “A policy for cell phones in Squinkie School,” highlighted teachers prohibiting the use of cell phones during class and the consequences a student faces if the policy is violated.

The Mental Health Awareness Club, led by school psychologist Stephanie Carpenter, was seeking a poster to attract new members during the school’s club fair earlier in the year, and

“Very social, very smart,” said Chambers, who is now teaching Mendoza in her studio media class at the high school. “So much of him I didn’t see in middle school. He has transformed into a fine young man.”

He also is sharing his artwork through a YouTube page, called The Incredible World of Mendoza Network, which has nearly 9,000 subscribers.

His versatility in art, which eventually became an extracurricular activity for him, g ained the attention of Michelle Kinhackl, the high school’s transition coordinator.

The federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act allows Mendoza and others with disabilities, ages three to 21, to receive educational services through their public school district.

Kinhackl discovered a way for her student, whom she has known since he was 14, to potentially find an art career when he “ages out” of school.

“I’m a firm believer in the sky’s the limit,” she said. “There are a lot of things that are popping up, that possibly he could put his artwork out there and maybe make some type of business of some sort.”

Last school year, Kinhackl reached out to Andrew Fund, the Hewlett-Woodmere School District’s director of art and music, for an opportunity for Mendoza to further pursue his love for art and build his portfolio.

“It’s amazing,” she said. “It was so kind for Christopher to share his artwork and really put in the time to help me to draw students to this club. I think it really paid off . . . Christopher maybe helped a lot of students.”

Robert Free, who rose the ranks to become the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s vice president of operations, was named the Long Island Rail Road’s acting president late last month.

“We don’t just want to provide train service,” Free said. “We want to be a world-class service that our customers will be proud of. Safety, reliability and customer experience — these priorities go hand-in-hand. You can’t have an on-time railroad if you don’t have a safe railroad.

GOT holder and 10-time Grammy award winner John Legend headlines Tilles Center’s annual gala with his intimate “Evening With John Legend,” Saturday, Nov. 11, 8:30 p.m. This special solo performance will features reimaginings of his greatest hits (“All of Me,” “Ordinary People,” “Tonight”), unexpected stories from Legend’s life and career, and selections from his most recent release, “Legend” (“Nervous,” “Wonder Woman”). Legend’s agile voice and virtuoso piano skills certainly do the talking in this wide-ranging performance. The multi-faceted talent dwelled in the background for several years before he launched his multi-pronged sneak attack on the entertainment industry. Shortly after Legend got his first break by playing piano on Lauryn Hill’s Top 40 hit “Everything Is Everything” (1999), the singersongwriter contributed to recordings by the likes of Jay-Z and Janet Jackson, secured a major-label deal through Kanye West, and made his proper debut with Get Lifted (2004). The album made Legend a multi-platinum, Grammy-winning musician, and he was just getting started, neither confined nor burdened by the Recording Academy’s Best New Artist designation. Amid a string of distinctive and debonair LPs, Once Again (2006), Wake Up! (2010), Darkness and Light (2016), and the double album Legend (2022) among them, Legend — as a composer, actor and producer — has excelled with screen and stage pursuits. His triumphs include the Oscar-winning “Glory” (for Selma), the Emmy-winning Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, and the Tony-winning production of Jitney. He is among the first 15 entertainers, and is the first Black American, to have won all four of the major show-business awards.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU CHOOSE TO REMAIN IN YOUR HOME, YOU ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR PROPERTY AND PAY PROPERTY TAXES IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE AND LOCAL LAW. FORECLOSURE RESCUE SCAMS Be careful of people who approach you with offers to “save” your home. There are individuals who watch for notices of foreclosure actions in order to unfairly profit from a homeowner’s distress.

You should be extremely careful about any such promises and any suggestions that you pay them a fee or sign over your deed. State law requires anyone offering such services for profit to enter into a contract which fully describes the services they will perform and fees they will charge, and which prohibits them from taking any money from you until they have completed all such promised services. § 1303 NOTICE NOTICE YOU ARE IN DANGER OF LOSING YOUR HOME If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home. Speak to an attorney or go to the court where your case is pending for further information on how to answer the summons and protect your property.

Sending a payment to your mortgage company will not stop this foreclosure action. YOU MUST RESPOND BY SERVING A COPY OF THE ANSWER ON THE ATTORNEY FOR THE PLAINTIFF (MORTGAGE COMPANY) AND FILING THE ANSWER WITH THE COURT.

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Q. My kids are looking for a house, and I’ve been going with them. It’s hard to swallow how expensive real estate has gotten since my wife and I bought our first, and last, home 36 years ago with a 14.9 percent interest rate. Could you give some tips on what to look for, beyond basics, because every home we look at needs some kind of work, and I wonder if any of it can be done without a permit (which involves more time and money, and increased taxes), and with the least amount of problems later on, like replacing expensive things — air conditioning, heating or plumbing.

One of A Kind Home!

A. Because of how expensive homes are and how little choice there is in this seller’s market, most of the time people take for granted that they’ll just deal with things later on. Just get the house, worry later.

Search out of a flood zone, at the higher point in a neighborhood. Try finding out average taxes for the chosen area. onte eeper MyNassauProperty.com Land Record LookupNassau County will help, since taxes are a forever expense.

Houses on water are taxed at a higher rate because of the perceived greater use and value.

Avoid being near water unless you love the views or have a boat. If you’re concerned about the expense of homeownership and taxes, a house and boat on the water are not a less costly choice. Add in flood and wind insurance on top of home insurance to see that homes within a mile of any body of water are more costly.

Do you want a basement? Basements are the least costly in taxes for the highest rate of return for additional space in a home, but basements have a hidden problem nobody tells you about. Is the basement finished, and does the finish have a permit on record? Does the basement have ceilings that are 6 feet 8 or higher, and not lower than 6 feet 4 under the center beam? Does it have an escape well, or exterior stairs? Are there signs of water staining at the base of the walls? Are the floors settling?

Does the crawl space under the house have a concrete slab, required by code, or is the exposed dirt wet? Does the land slope toward the house?

Does the roof bow slightly from the outside wall or ridge toward the center, a sign of under-sized structure that reduces shingle lifespan? Is the house older, and probably losing a lot of heat because of poor insulation? Do the ceilings have darker areas around the ceiling joists above, an indication that the roof isn’t vented properly, insulation is minimal or missing and condensation forms in the hidden areas, causing coldness, dampness and rotting? Is fresh paint possibly covering other issues?

If you’re going to be doing work, you’ll need permits. Know what municipality the home is in, because most allow new siding, roofing, painting, floor refinishing and exact replacement of kitchens without a permit, but not all. More to come next week.

ew York is in tough shape.

Between the rising costs of goods, a deteriorating public safety situation and an everincreasing tax burden on residents, New Yorkers have faced a slew of issues brought about by policy failures from Albany to the White House.

Sadly, already beleaguered residents must also now shoulder the burden of a migrant crisis with serious security and financial implications, thanks to the Biden administration’s AnTHonY failure to secure borders, as D’EsposiTo our well as the “sanctuary state/city” policies of Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

It is estimated that since the beginning of President Biden’s tenure, 1.6 million migrants have evaded capture by law enforcement personnel while making their way into the United

States. This is a startling number, particularly when you consider that 146 people whose names appear on the federal terrorist watch list were stopped trying to cross the U.S.-Mexico border in the first 10 months of this year. While those individuals were captured, there’s no telling how many more slipped past authorities among the 1.6 million who got away, and what their destinations were.

What we do know, however, is that New York was the final destination for over 110,000 migrants who have arrived here since April 2022. Drawn

by Hochul’s and Adams’ regular declarations of New York’s sanctuary status, which limits local law enforcement’s cooperation with immigration authorities — as well as the Big Apple’s “right to shelter” law, guaranteeing housing to all — migrants continue to pour into the state at a record pace.

Indeed, the mass arrivals have strained finances, particularly in

n

New York City, where Adams recently announced a sweeping 5 percent budget cut for all city agencies in order to divert additional resources for migrant support. What’s more, the cost of housing these migrants will total north of $12 billion over the next three years — precious taxpayer funding that will be diverted from New York’s longstanding homeless population, public safety/law enforcement, and a long list of social service programs.

I have been working hard at the federal level to present positive alternatives to the failing policies of our “leaders” currently occupying the White House, the governor’s mansion and Gracie Mansion. Earlier this year, I was proud to join fellow House Republicans in passing H.R. 2, the Secure the Border Act of 2023. This sweeping legislation would provide further funding to Customs and Border Protection, and includes provisions to enhance border security

either the state nor the city can continue to be a migrant sanctuary.

infrastructure, combat the exploitation and trafficking of unaccompanied children, and much more.

I strongly urge my colleagues in the Senate to adopt this legislation and send it to President Biden for his signature. Every moment they don’t, this migrant crisis worsens both in New York and across the country.

On the local and state front, I will continue standing alongside everyday New Yorkers who are tired of Hochul’s and Adams’ progressive policies, which have caused chaos on our streets, migrants being crammed into hangars at Kennedy Airport as well as in schools, and impending cuts to government services.

The United States is a great country founded on the American dream — the dream that led my ancestors to settle on these shores. I firmly believe in keeping that dream alive and welcoming newcomers to this country, but our current immigration system is failing that dream. We must take immediate action from the top down to correct that failure.

nce upon a time, when you did a survey of the most respected people in America, names like Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey or Bill Clinton would dominate the list. Being on the most respected list was a guarantee that you could make a speech, or just send out a tweet, and it would get immediate attention from the public and maybe even move the stock market.

Over the past year or so, things have changed.

There’s no doubt that Winfrey and Obama will still JERRY make the list, KREMER but if you’re looking for power, prestige and an economic force, your choice has to be Taylor Swift.

Winfrey can launch a new venture, and over a period of weeks or months, she will gain the attention of people who follow her career. But nobody can match the impact that Swift’s name and image currently generates. One

example, of many, was the Oct. 1 JetsChiefs game at MetLife Stadium, which drew nearly 25 million viewers, largely because Swift was seated in a luxury box.

If you watched the game, you couldn’t help but noticed that the television cameras were devoting almost as much time to Swift as they were to the Jets and Chiefs. Swift didn’t sing or dance. She didn’t walk out on the field for a cameo appearance. All she did was sit — and jump up and down and cheer — with a bunch of friends and relatives of her latest love interest, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce.

Besides the huge television audience, the stadium had its largest crowd in recent memory. That Swift is a money generator is no surprise. Her concerts fill every venue to capacity, and generate millions in revenues for hotels, restaurants and all types of local businesses.

As a sign of the type of revenue she can generate with one concert,

T

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sent her a number of fan letters, urging her to schedule concerts in Canada as a way of boosting his country’s economy. Some federal monetary officials have speculated that the revenues generated by her concerts are having an impact on inflation statistics.

In recent weeks, a new documentary has been released that follows Swift around the world and gives the general public some idea of the dramatic impact that she has wherever she goes.

According to entertainment writers, a number of fans were willing to pay astronomical sums just to get a sneak preview of the travelogue.

Can Swift become a political force?

No one knows for sure, but recently she sent out a tweet urging people to register to vote. According to election officials, her brief outreach generated 50,000 new registrants in one day. No one knows what her political leanings are, but there is no doubt that she

could get millions of people to the polls if she chose to promote a candidate.

For those of us who don’t follow the music industry, the success of this 33-year-old phenomenon is a little mystifying. She has a sweet voice, writes many of her own songs and has a powerful stage presence. I thought that she appealed to a particular age group but recently a friend, who is 65, excitedly told us about attending a Taylor Swift concert.

Her success is attributable to her talent, her personality and her exiting performances. It also is a sign that with all of the political turmoil in our country, the public is desperately seeking fresh faces that have nothing to do with politics. We are very much in need of pleasant distractions and Taylor Swift clearly gives us that, and more.

Keep ‘off-year’ elections off-year

ore than a dozen people are running for president of the United states this year and next — and nearly as many are seeking to replace embattled U.s.

Rep. George santos in Congress. and while final decisions in those races are 12 months away, much closer to home, Long Island voters are heading to the polls nov. 8, to decide on a number of races spanning town boards and administrations as well as county legislatures.

It’s what we call an “off-year” election — an election that takes place outside more mainstream races — and it gives us a chance to learn about and choose leaders who are much closer to home. Even our neighbors. and listening to those voices is vitally important — much more important for our daily lives than what’s being bandied about in Washington or albany.

But there’s a downside to off-year elections, and it’s a significant one: voter turnout is abysmal. across the state, offyear elections attract just half of those who head to the polls for presidential elections, according to Citizens Union.

The potential solution? Turn “offyear” elections to “on-year,” by moving town and county races to the same year as campaigns for state and federal offices. and it’s part of a bill that has passed both chambers of the state legislature, and is now on the governor’s desk.

This would certainly increase the number of people who cast votes in local races, and would save money typically

Letters Peter King wrote ‘the painful truth’ To the Editor: Re Peter King’s column last week, “Why is Israel urged not to ‘overreact’ against Hamas?”: I thought it was very well written and stated the painful truth.

I, too, cannot understand the mentality of our students and politicians who believe Hamas is the victim and that Israel is the bully.

I believe, as Mr. King stated, this whole disaster of an issue is due to poor leadership and failed support for Israel with the Obama and Biden administrations and the fake media. I just wanted to thank Mr. King for being brave enough to write the truth, and hopefully some people will read it and better understand what is going on. Thanks for the support of his Republican party, and maybe he should run for president!

spent to make off-year elections happen (although how much is up for debate). and yes, the more people who vote, the better our communities are represented.

It’s a noble idea, and it makes sense, at least at first blush. But it would also sacrifice a key element of off-year elections that make them so special: Focusing on these races allows the candidates to not only get their message out, but also to address hyperlocal issues in our neighborhoods that are simply not dealt with at the federal or even the state level.

Imagine a ballot dominated by a presidential race, U.s. senate contests and U.s.

House races that also included the choices for local judges, county legislators, town administrators and town councils, and village officials — to say nothing of local referendums. It would be a jampacked ballot, which would make it nearly impossible for a typical voter to be properly informed about who’s who and what’s what. naturally, much of our attention would be focused on who would be in the White House come January, and who would be sent to Congress. Candidates for local offices would have to shout to be heard, and even then they’d likely be drowned out.

Local issues are crucially important. you know that, because you’re reading a local newspaper. Will local taxes be raised? Can we prevent the sinkholes that are opening up in our streets? How do we put up barriers to keep state legislators from forcing residential zoning in

our communities? How do we counter some of the issues we’re experiencing as a result of bail reform?

Those are just a handful of the myriad issues that Herald editors and reporters have inquired about in more than 40 roundtable sessions with local candidates this election season — issues that most likely wouldn’t get anywhere near the attention they deserve if you mixed them in with topics dominating the debates in the state and national campaigns.

We look at voting as a right, but it’s also a duty. True democracy requires participation by those being governed to truly work, and our participation takes many forms, but the primary one is casting a ballot. Increasing turnout for these races most certainly remains a priority — but we don’t want to accomplish that by pushing local races into a ballot’s fine print.

Gov. Kathy Hochul hasn’t yet signed the bill changing election dates that passed both chambers of the state legislature earlier this year. and she shouldn’t. We need to come up with ways to bring more voters out for local elections, but we must do that by continuing to educate those voters on the issues affecting them most here at home, and by making it clear that voting is one of the best ways they can do something about them.

What we can’t do is let those issues be swept away in the whirlwind of state and national elections.

opinions

L

ong Island, with its rich history, stunning landscapes and vibrant communities, is a place we’re proud to call home. Long Islanders are deeply concerned about the proposed Equinor wind turbine project, Empire Wind, and its potential to adversely affect our health, safety and economy. It is essential that we carefully examine the implications of this project and the individuals behind it.

Equinor, formerly known as Statoil, is 67 percent owned by Norway and is a ari partner of BP Oil. Equinor has a Brown dubious past, having been sanctioned by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2003 for bribing Iranian officials. It is concerning that a company with such a history would be involved in a project of this scale on Long Island. Furthermore, the state sponsors of the bill supporting Empire Wind are associated with current antisemitic stances that raise questions about their priorities and alliances.

Long Island is densely populated, and a project of this magnitude has never

been attempted in such a setting, let alone making landfall. Equinor’s plan to install 345-kilovolt copper wires mere feet from residences is alarming. Equinor compares the electromagnetic field generated by these wires to a toaster oven, but the potential health risks cannot be underestimated. Statistically significant studies indicate that even a small increase in electromagnetic field exposure can double the chances of cancer or leukemia, especially among children and fetuses. The proposed wires would emit 25 to 80 milligauss of EMF radiation, making it a significant health concern for our communities.

Local governments, including the Village of Island Park and the Long Beach City Council, are vehemently opposed to this project. Long Island is a Home Rule state, and the state Public Service Commission should not have the power to override local land-use authority merely for developer convenience. The health and safety of our communities should always come first.

The materials used in wind turbines, such as epoxy resin and glass fiber, contain bisphenol A, a known endocrine disruptor. This substance can lead to vari-

e’re thankful to Gov. Hochul for listening to her suburban constituents.

Letters Next Tuesday, it’s all about voting To the Editor: It is a common misconception that important elections take place only every two or four years. On the contrary: Local elections take place every year, and because turnout is often low in the socalled “off years,” such as this one, your vote can actually make even more of a difference in matters of immediate concern to your community.

Your local elected officials are responsible for making the laws and regulations that directly affect you, your family and your neighbors. Local officials have direct authority over things like schools, housing, public transit and the local environment.

Local officials are also far more likely to take account of your opinions than are your representatives at the state and federal levels. Make the most of this relationship: Get out and vote on the laws and ballot proposals that matter to you and your community, and for leaders that you believe deserve your trust. Local and state, as well federal, elections affect the quality of our lives, from the healthfulness of our drinking water and the maintenance of our roads and bridges, to the quality of our public education. Voters should take them seriously.

The right to vote is the heart of

ous health issues, including developmental problems, reproductive issues, metabolic disorders, and cancer. Moreover, 1 kilogram of bisphenol A can contaminate 10 billion liters of water.

The erosion of turbine blades would release bisphenol A nanoparticles into the ocean, potentially entering our food chain when fish ingest them. Rainwater can also carry these nanoparticles into our drinking water aquifer, and they cannot be effectively filtered out. With 200 turbines, each with blades as long as a football field, the potential for contamination would be substantial.

Assembly Bill A2888, titled “Clean Energy Outreach and Community Planning Program,” highlights the importance of collaboration between host communities and renewable energy developers. Yet there has been near to no collaboration or outreach to the communities most affected. In fact, the public outcry has not only revealed a lack of local support for the Equinor project, but also brought into question whether, until Oct. 20, the interests of Long Islanders were being considered at all.

We are deeply thankful to Gov. Kathy Hochul for listening to her suburban con-

stituents and for vetoing the “Planned Offshore Wind Transmission Act” two weeks ago. Her decision reflects the power of democracy, where elected officials are ultimately accountable to their constituents.

What followed the governor’s veto, however, was deeply troubling. Some Democratic politicians, who were not only supporters of the project but actively fought to advance it, are now trying to claim credit for its likely defeat. The Nassau County Democratic Party chairman’s statement that “It’s Democrats that get things done” is, frankly, laughable. Their efforts throughout this process were entirely in favor of pushing the Equinor project forward, not in line with the will and concerns of the Long Island community.

Long Islanders must remain vigilant against attempts to rewrite the Empire Wind narrative for political gain. The people of Long Island have spoken, and they deserve the credit for their unwavering dedication to preserving their health, safety, and way of life. It is a triumph for democracy, a reminder that the voice of the people can and should prevail, and a testament to the power of community activism. Long Island’s future depends on it.

Another one rides the bus To the Editor: Our County Legislature voting 19-0 last week to renew a contract with Transdev — the private contractor running the Nassau Inter County Express buses since 2010 — is good news for riders. It demonstrates bipartisan support for bus service. Even with a 15-cent fare increase earlier this year, from $2.75 to $2.90 ($1.45 for seniors), riding a NICE bus is one of the best public transportation bargains around. Riders using the MTA Metro Card can get a free transfer to a New York City Transit bus or subway.

Transdev has a track record of completing Federal Transit Administrationfunded capital projects on time and within budget. Any contract change orders have

NICE is a model for cost-effective urban/suburban bus operations that other transit agencies should emulate. I congratulate the hardworking men and women of both the Nassau County Department of Public Works Transit Division and Transdev for providing such an excellent service, and the County Legislature for renewing Transdev’s contract
