Big night for Nassau GOP Blakeman ahead, Donnelly takes D.A. post By HERalD STaFF nassaueditor@liherald.com
As midnight approached on election night, Republicans in Nassau County-wide races were inching toward a GOP sweep. As the Herald went to press, Bruce Blakeman, the Republican Town of Hempstead councilman, had surged past incumbent Democrat Laura Curran in the race for county executive, with 92 percent of precincts reporting. At press time, an official winner had not been declared, but Blakeman had 52 percent of the vote to Curran’s 48 percent. Close to 20,000 absentee ballots remained to be counted, however. What was certain: Republican Anne Donnelly, a 32-year career prosecutor in the Nassau district attorney’s office, was declared the winner in the contest for D.A. Donnelly defeated State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat from Long Beach, garnering 60 percent of the vote. Republican Elaine Phillips, a for mer state senator, was

Even in the worst of situations, Cleveland Woods was known to be cool, calm and collected and ready with a humorous witticism that more often than not disarmed the crisis and allowed the 6-foot-5 former basketball who was a special education teacher with the Lawrence School District for more than 20 years to establish or reestablish a relationship Woods, a Freeport resident, died on Oct. 29. He was 56. The impact the Brooklyn native made on people, especially young people is incalculable, whether coaching basketball, he was a varsity hoops coach at Lawrence High School and coached at the All-American Basketball Camp, and through the nonprofit All-in-One-Athletics program he and Dov Frier, another Lawrence district teacher, established in 2014. “Coach Woods had one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen,” said Inwood resident Sasha Young, who runs Gammy’s Pantry at the Five Towns Community Center, who considered Woods a “motivator, coach and a friend.” “Whether on the court or assisting me in de-escalating a teen in crisis you always had a funny quip that would be all that we needed to turn that situation around,” she added. “You will be greatly missed by many including your Lawrence High and Five Towns Community Center families.” An All-City basketball player at Samuel J. Tilden High School in the East Flatbush section of Brooklyn, Woods, it was said, had an intuitive understanding of what the combination of basketball and education could do for him. Fortunate enough to receive a full basketball scholarship to New Hampshire College, now Southern New Hampshire University, he put that mixture to work and not only was a hoops star but earned a bachelor’s degree in business management. “Cleveland was able to meet people where they were,” said Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen. “He worked with kids that really struggled socially and allowed people to see the good in them. He always was able
LonGtIME LAwREncE SchooL District special education teacher Cleveland Woods had a substantial influence on the students he coached, mentored and taught. to show them there is a way. He had relationships with staff, administrators and the students. A ‘gentle giant’ who never had a cross word or negative comment.” During a college basketball career where he was nicknamed “the rubber band man” for the effortless way he moved on the court, Woods became the only player in his school’s history to record more than 2,000 career points and 1,000 rebounds. He was All American in 1986 and 1987, and inducted into New Hampshire College Athletic Hall of Fame in 1993. Career totals: 2,247 points (first), 1,170 rebounds (second), and steals 291 (second) in Southern New Hampshire University history.
Calling it a privilege to have known Woods and having a relationship with him, Edwin Rodriguez, an Inwood resident and Lawrence High graduate posted on Facebook: “May God bless you in heaven for being [a] great teacher, friend and father. Never gonna forget all you taught me and showed me and for believing in me every step of the way. You will always be in mind and heart, never forgotten.” After college, Woods took his basketball talents to Europe and played there for several years. He then returned to Brooklyn and found employment in the Lawrence School District. He taught at both the middle school and high school. Woods earned a master’s degree in special education From Adelphi University. Cedarhurst resident Syd Mandelbaum also posted on Facebook, noting Woods as a coach, father, husband, mentor and a son, and wrote: “But above all a kind role model you want all of your children to emulate. He helped me with the Sid Tanenbaum Basketball Tournament every year and supported Rock and Wrap It Up! I cry that he was taken from us when so many more could have benefited from his wisdom and experience.” Rock and Wrap It Up! is a charitable organization Mandelbaum founded and runs. On the Lawrence Public School District 15 Facebook group page, the Lawrence Teachers Association remembered their colleague. “There are no words to describe the despair felt by the LTA and all those who knew and loved Lawrence High School teacher Cleveland Woods on the news of his sudden passing. Mr. Woods, your boundless positivity and infectious smile will be terribly missed by all, but most assuredly by the students, past and present, that you cared about so deeply,” the organization posted. He is survived by his wife Joliette Hall-Woods, their two sons and a daughter. Donations for the Woods family can be made through Venmo and these LTA members: Nancy Mastrangelo @ Nancy Kersich-Mastrangelo; Jeannine Cammarata @ Jeannine-Cammarata; Jason Biscardi @Jay-Biscardi; Adam Berlin @Adam-Berlin-8).
Cedarhurst native Johanna Swords, 97 By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
Johanna Swords, a former Cedarhurst resident for nearly three decades, died Oct. 16. She was 97. Swords, originally from Pirasens Germany, settled in Cedarhurst with her husband, Herbert, in the late 1940s, where they raised their five children, Miriam, Lillian, Timothy, Herbert A., and Ingrid. She enjoyed orchestrating camping trips for her family, one of which was a six-week trip from New York to Utah, and back. A homemaker, Swords often welcomed friends, family from Germany, and even international students into the family home. Friends of her children spent enough time in the house to feel like part of the family, as Joan Baldwin, Ingrid’s best childhood friend, said, “I had a difficult family situation and she just welcomed me in the family, never any judgment, just complete acceptance.” A volunteer leader in 4-H, a youth development program, Swords taught basic skills and shared her expertise in cooking. Ingrid said her mother was a fabulous cook, and even had some of her recipes published in the South Shore Record, a local Cedarhurst
newspaper. Swords was an active member of the Lawrence United Methodist Church, especially with the United Methodist Women, a women’s faith organization that focuses on ministries with women, children, and youth, according to the mission initiatives on its website. She also participated in the Women’s Interfaith Group, an invitation-only, discussion based, and diverse women’s faith group. After living in Cedarhurst, Swords and Herbert moved to Cincinnati, and then eventually settled in Boulder, Colorado at Frasier Meadows Retirement Community. There, Swords stayed involved in her religious practices, enjoyed art classes, concerts and creating flower arrangements for birthdays. Funeral services were held in Colorado at Greenwood & Myers Funeral Services. “She was kind, affectionate, generous,” Ingrid said, “and an industrious woman.” Swords is survived by her sister Annefriedel, children, Lillian, Timothy, Ingrid, Herbert A., and son-inlaw, J. Timothy Riker, nine grandchildren, and three great grandchildren. Her husband Herbert, sister Hildegard, and daughter Miriam predeceased her.

happenings of the particular activity. Another popular club is the Chesed Club, run by Michelle Kirschner and Hannah Nierenberg. The club offers students the opportunity to volunteer for charity and community service. Students pack boxes filled with fresh food and canned goods for the Sabbath, which are then delivered to people in need. They also create fundraisers for different charities through bake and apparel sales, and volunteer for different charitable events around the community. This club is a great opportunity for students looking to perform acts of kindness and help their community. For those who enjoy thrill and mystery, there is the Murder Mystery Club, where students interested eidel in criminology and forensics are given the opportunity to explore homicide cases and attempt to solve the crime. The club leaders, Mia Cohen and Shoshana Schebovitz, provide students with a case, the evidence behind it and all the possible suspects. Students then study the materials to find clues surrounding the crime, and come up with their own leads to narrow down the suspects. The club continues throughout the year, with the guidance and tips of the club leaders, until the students solve the mystery. All of these clubs give students unique opportunities to find new interests and learn about a range of different subjects. Students form great bonds with their club leaders, faculty advisors and fellow peers in their clubs, leading to strong friendships throughout all the grades at HAFTR. Wishing all HAFTR students a great time in their new clubs and a successful year of pursuing their interests.

Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School recently held its annual Club Fair on Oct. 19, where students were able to see all of the clubs and teams that HAFTR has to offer. With more than 40 options, students spent time learning about each activity, and then signed up for the programs that interested them the most. Club leaders set up tables on the front lawn with posters and information promoting their clubs. Students eagerly circled the mesmerizing selection to learn about the different activities. HAFTR hosts a variety of clubs ranging from culinary to Chesed, ping pong to public speaking, Robotics to roving re por ters and many more. These clubs yra of fer students unique opportunities to learn and make friends with students who have similar interests. Students are encouraged to establish new clubs based on their interests and passions. For example, senior Abby Rabinowitz and I founded the Medicine and Public Health Club. This club gives students who have an interest in science and medicine a chance to learn about the medical field as well as medical issues. Each meeting focuses on a different medical field. Discussions allow students to delve into the details of what each specialty does, how doctors perform surgeries, what tools are used during certain procedures and the medical ethics behind various situations. Participants could gain an appreciation of medicine, furthering their understanding and fascination with the medical field. Whether students participate in this club or any of the others, they are able to explore their interests and engage in in-depth conversations on the logistics and

Hewlett Senior Football With the eXCeptioN of driving the team bus back to Hewlett, Winkler did it all for the Bulldogs on Oct. 22 when they defeated Lynbrook, 33-14, in a pivotal Conference III game. The secondyear starting quarterback rushed for 211 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries and also threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Mekhi Jean-Baptiste. On defense, Winkler made 11 tackles and forced a fumble, and on special teams he blocked a field-goal try.

For the first time since 2018, Hewlett will be playing playoff football. Last Friday evening, the Bulldogs capped a strong run to the Nassau Conference III postseason with their fourth win in five games as they steamrolled Mineola, 41-0, behind six different touchdown scorers. It was also the third consecutive road victory for Hewlett (5-3), which earned the No. 7 seed and will head to No. 2 Wantagh for a first-round playoff matchup Saturday at 3 p.m. The Bulldogs’ only road defeat this season came in Week 2 at Wantagh. “In the preseason we were seeded 10 and we finished three spots higher, and it’s nice to be going to the playoffs,” Hewlett head coach John Palladino said. “Our goal every year is to overachieve. We haven’t earned the right to talk about rings or championships yet, but the kids have played really well and there’s a lot to feel good about.” Senior quarterback Mark Winkler has been the catalyst, Palladino said. Winkler had a 74-yard touchdown run in the second quarter at Mineola following a career game the previous week at Lynbrook when the Bulldogs defeated the Owls for the first time in program history, 33-14. “Mark was All-County last season and has played at an extremely high level the past month,” Palladino said. “Our plan all along was to add him to the defense for the second half of the season. He’s doing a great job at safety.” Winkler did everything except punt and kick extra points in the pivotal win at Lynbrook on Oct. 22. He rushed for 211 yards and a touchdown, passed for a score, returned a fumble for a touchdown, forced a fumble, blocked a field-goal attempt and made 11 tackles. His passing touchdown, a 44-yard dime to sophomore Mekhi JeanBaptiste, came with seconds remaining in the first half and gave the Bulldogs a 20-0 lead. “He blocked a field goal on Lynbrook’s opening drive so we didn’t have to play from behind,” Palladino said. “And the touchdown before the half killed any momentum they had.” Winkler didn’t attempt a pass in the 25mph wind conditions at Mineola.

robotics, you have to learn by watching and doing and asking questions, so this, we found, really gives a base foundation of information.” Sophomore Brandon Salazar an Innovo team member, recognizes the opportunities that the club has presented him. “You just learn things you’d never think you would know, and you get to experience things to help you in the future,” Salazar said. “It just helps with a lot of aspects of life that you would never realize. You learn a lot by being around other people like this.” Each year, Robotics Club students must build robots to compete within the qualifiers, competitions between Long Island robot builders that precede the regional competition. The teams aim to build on past success in qualifying competitions. All three teams qualified for the 2018 regional competition. This year, the game involves four teams, which set up in a 12-square-foot playing field and compete, interchangeably working in alliance or opposition with each other for multiple matches. Each match lasts for two and a half minutes, and students will use their robots to transport objects, called “freight” within the space. Different freights are placed in specified areas, such as “shipping hubs” or “warehouses” to score points. There are other ways to earn points, including displays of good sportsmanship between competitors.

The Hewlett High School Robotics club, in existence for 13 years, is in the initial building and coding stages of designing its task-completing robots, a usual six-week process before the annual, regional-qualifier competition against nearly 35 other teams on Long Island. There are three teams within the club — Roboboogie, Bionica and Innovo — which welcomes any student, freshman through senior, to join after school in room 234 every Friday. Students typically choose to stay at school and work on their robots for nearly four hours. At the Oct. 29 meeting, each team worked on the blueprints of their robots by taking apart old robots or sketching out multi-angle diagrams. Though there are three separate teams, club meetings often involve all students collaborating to teach or learn from their peers. “The idea is that they kind of mentor the younger members” said physics teacher Matthew Schildknecht, Robotics Club co-adviser and programming coach. Seniors Yaseen Maqsudi and Yoni Sheerit, and junior Brian Chen invited the club to another classroom for an optional coding class. Almost the entire, knowledgehungry club followed the boys for the coding PowerPoint, which will likely be useful

Club members who find opportunities to learn or teach themselves applicable skills outside of school will often bring the knowledge back to the club for sharing.
“We want to teach everyone else how to do these certain things, so then they know,” said junior Lily Cohen, Roboboogie’s business and marketing manager. The student-run classes are a new addition to club format this year, and, according to Star, have proved to be helpful for students. “It gives them [younger members] a chance to learn the way you would learn in school,” she said. “Usually in

fall into debt, just as advice often falls on deaf ears. Information can fall into the wrong hands and everyone agrees that the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Some folks are a fall guy destined to take the fall or fall on their sword confessing that the container of good didn’t just “fall of the truck.” You can fall all over yourself seeking popularity by falling in line, but it’s all too easy to fall from grace and plunge into a free fall. Yes, life may not be as easy as falling off a log, and it’s true we may fall short of our own expectations and unsuccessfully wait for success to fall into our lap, yet eventually things do fall into place. Divided we fall, but united we stand; there are those ready to break our oldman fall. Let the chips fall where they may and more often than not they fall into place … especially if we take the biggest fall of all and fall for someone and fall in love, which no matter the season or time is always a fall forward. © 2021 Ron Goldman

ADDICTION IS A DISEASE
CALL THE LI CRISIS CENTER:
When we change our clocks this weekend, we will remember in which direction to do so by noting that we “spring forward and fall backward.” Indeed, for so many of us, fall is more than a season, as we are careful not to slip and fall, or fall prey to unscrupulous schemers, or fall under the spell of salesmen or politicians. Throughout the year, we must be cautious not to fall behind, or to fall a foul of bosses, friends or family. When confronted by crisis, we ought not fall to pieces or fall apart at the seams, nor should we ever fall in with the wrong crowd or fall off the wagon. As we gaze about, it’s not hard to notice that it’s not just empires or the proud or Humpty Dumpty who experience a great on fall, but lots of folks who fall on hard times. Too many employees fall down on the job or fall asleep at the switch. Too many investors suffer when the bottom falls out of the market, and how many performers cringe when their act falls flat and the curtain (prematurely) falls. Yup, plans fall through and roofs (and soldiers) fall in. The helpless fall between the cracks or fall by the wayside as they

Handed a business card from Luxer One account manager Donovan Albert, four people typed a six-digit code on the iPad screen and voila four different doors of the 39 locker compartments opened. The “tests” showed how Luxer One’s lockers worked and the convenience now available to Peninsula Public Library cardholders, who after emailing the library and receiving a six-digit code will be able to pick up or drop off material they have borrowed or are returning. Albert, along with General Manager Adam Whitney, were among the people who attended the Oct. 27 ribboncutting for PPL’s new amenity in the back of the library. A $25,000 grant obtained though State Assemblywoman Melissa Miller’s office supported the purchase. “The Covid pandemic changed hours and limited libraries with 24/7 operation of the lockers people are not limited and can safely and contactless use them,” said Whitney, adding that this is the first Luxer One, a Sacramen-
to-based company, locker setup on Long Island, but more are expected in the near future. Whitney said the lockers are being using by 50 libraries nationwide, including university libraries, and by retail stores. He anticipates the lockers being one of the many things that will have a continued use after the pandemic ends because of the convenience for people to get or return items at any time. “It was a flawless process,” Library Director Carolynn Matulewicz said about working with Luxer One. The 39 lockers are varying sizes to accommodate books, documents and other materials. Library Board President Sarah Yastrab credited Matulewicz for getting this done. “A thank you goes to Carolynn for doing all the work and thank you to Melissa Miller.” “This is an example of making libraries more accessible,” said Miller, a Republican from Atlantic Beach. Oh yes, in the lockers were a few items of Luxer One swag, including sunglasses, a pen, hand sanitizer, a miniature fan to plug into an electronic device and a lanyard.

■ Your child understands what you’re thinking. (i.e., Mom doesn’t like it when I eat a cookie before dinner, so I’ll tell her I didn’t.) ■ Your child knows the rules and what will happen if he breaks them. (i.e., If mom knows I ate the cookie, she won’t let me have dessert, so I’ll tell her a different story.) ■ Your child knows how to create an alternative answer that sounds somewhat truthy. (i.e., I didn’t eat the cookie; the dog must have eaten it.) ■ Your child knows how to make up a viable excuse. (i.e., I was just so hungry that I had to eat something and I only had one!) “But I can’t be happy that he lies. He
doesn’t even show remorse when I catch him in the lie. I’d hate it if he grew up to be a liar without a moral compass. I need to drill morality into him now, so he understands it from the getgo. Slow down. A young child’s lies are based on creativity and fun – not morality. If your 3-year-old son lies about brushing his teeth, he thinks it makes a lot of sense. If Dad believes him, then he won’t have to do something he doesn’t want to do. If your 3-year-old daughter insists she had a peanut and jelly sandwich (no, not peanut butter, but a big inda giant peanut – so big she could hardly bite it), she’s not lying. She’s being creative and having fun with you in the process. Yes, parents need to teach their children that they shouldn’t lie. But don’t expect kids to grasp the concept right away. Learning about the rights and wrongs of lying takes time. It’s a tricky
notion, even though parents present it as a black-and-white matter. Here’s what kids need to understand as they mature. They must:

■ Appreciate the prosocial lie that’s often encouraged by parents. (“Even if you don’t like the present Grandma bought you, tell her you do; otherwise her feelings will be hurt.”) ■ Overlook the lies they hear you tell (“I don’t want to take the call; tell him I’m not home.”)

take from a manipulative lie. ■ Recognize the difference between one who tells a lie on occasion from one who lies indiscriminately. So parents, relax if you think that your parenting skills are lacking because your preschooler has told a lie. He’s got a long way to go to learn all the intricacies of truth-telling and lying. Indeed, a kid who always has to tell the truth – spilling out all the murky details – may have a more serious problem than a kid who can differentiate between social lies, white lies, malicious lies, and lying indiscriminately. ©2021 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people overcome procrastination and debilitating anxiety and fear.

Trunks of vehicles, at least 10, along with four tables were decorated to scare, but also to treat as all had candy for the kids to collect.

ANTIQUES WANTED:
Shulamith looks to buy No. 5 school continued from front page School has leased the Number Five School, a 97,000-square-foot building built in 1929 that occupies just over 2.5 acres. Lease payments began at $500,000 per year, and have grown to $600,000 for this school year. Lawrence has also saved roughly $800,000 in annual operating expenses by leaving Shulamith responsible for all building maintenance. Shulamith has an early childhood school, a lower division, a middle school and a high school that graduated its third senior class in June. On Nov. 10, at a scheduled Town of Hempstead Zoning Board hearing, the Shulamith School is expected to request special exceptions for the proposed religious end educational use of a building it now owns, a former fitness center at 158 Franklin Place in Woodmere, 1.3 miles from the Cedarhurst site. The school’s executive director, Malka Fischman, said the former New York Sports Club was purchased in order for Shulamith to expand its high school. “We had over 400 people at our open house on Sunday,” she said. “Our high school and elementary school are experiencing tremendous growth. The Cedarhurst building is our home.” Fischman said that Shulamith plans to buy the Number Five School as well. The Long Island City-based GreinerMaltz Real Estate is marketing the property for the Lawrence district. The company
also marketed the Number Six School eight years ago. A public referendum on selling the school to Simone Development for a health care facility failed in 2013. A year later, after another referendum was approved, the district sold the Woodmere building to the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach for $8.5 million. John Maltz said that the company has marketed the Cedarhurst site nationally and locally to brokers, developers and investors. There is a website — https:// www.305cedarhurstave.com/ — where interested parties can receive the offering information and submit a purchase bid. “The website is soup to nuts, and you can click for the due diligence and bid form — we made it as easy possible,” Maltz said, adding that the property is zoned for lowdensity development. In 1980, the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway purchased the Number Three School, on Central Avenue in Cedarhurst, for $1.1 million, and it is now HAFTR High School. Developer David Neuberg bought the Number One School, which was on Central Avenue in Lawrence, in 2007 for $29.1 million. The property was converted into an upscale condominium complex, which generated an additional $2 million for the district based on the number of apartments constructed. Have an opinion on the possible sale of the Number Five School? Send a letter to jbessen@liherald.com.

Q. We just bought a house and want to add to it. We talked to our village inspector, and he said we have limitations because the house is in a flood area. We want to add a two-story addition to the house if we can avoid raising it. What do you suggest, and how can we avoid lifting the house, which we think will make our plans unaffordable?
Wantagh
HOME Of tHE WEEK
New and Amazing Home
I
f looking for a home is your dilemma, then look no further than this beauty on Emma Street. This diamond 4 bedroom, 3 bath Colonial located in Wantagh Woods features a new eat-in-kitchen with quartz counters and island, new bathroom with designer rain shower head. Custom wainscoting and tray ceilings as well as crown molding, hi-hats, gleaming hardwood floors, new roof, 150amp electric, 2 zone CAC and gas hot water heater. The master bedroom has 2 walk in closets with built in closet organizer. The full finished basement has a separate outside entrance, full bath. MUST SEE AT $849.999
A. You probably should have asked this question before the purchase, not after. In general, the Federal Emergency Management Agency requirement is that the building must be mitigated, made resilient to the potential of flooding, if either the dollar amount or area to be added on or worked on exceeds 50 percent of the existing buildonte eeper ing. That was what the official was telling you. People are often in denial about the extremes they will need to go through, and think this issue is negotiable. Buying a house in a flood zone with the intention of making major changes or additions isn’t a good idea if you aren’t prepared for the expense of major lifting to get the habitable level at least 2 feet above the base flood level for the zone the house is in. When I meet with people who are proposing to do any kind of major work in a flood zone, I often have to deal with seeing the disappointment in their faces followed by the discussion of how their project is either going to be the exception or nowhere near the threshold of where a house would need to be lifted. People buying in a flood zone need to be made aware before purchase that they may as well be ready for the possibility of an eventual lift of the entire home. The basement is required to be filled so that the area below the house can drain by gravity with special flood vents. If you weren’t prepared for these expenses, then you’re going to have to make a hard decision. It’s possible to do less work and phase things in over time so you don’t meet the 50 percent threshold, doing part of your master plan now, more in a year or two, etc. But don’t do anything without discussion and agreement with the building official who will be in a position to decide whether the amount of work isn’t exceeding the threshold, and what waiting time must be taken before filing for a permit for the next phase. This isn’t necessarily the “spirit” of the regulation, but some municipalities will work with you to help out so you don’t go broke trying to meet your needs. Understand that safety and survival of an extreme storm condition are still a primary intention of how your home should be designed and approved. Without all this effort, we would all be paying the price to rescue people, paying in taxes over and over. Good luck!

must confess that the older I get, the more time I spend thinking about all of the crises our country has endured in my lifetime. I was a young boy when America was going through the horrors of World War II. As I progressed from career to career, the nation had to deal with wars in Korea and Vietnam and the tragedy of the Sept. 11 terrorist attack. All of these events had one thing in common. The people of America were totally united and determined to fight our enemies. JERRY I think of those challenging KREMER days and contrast them with the nation’s response to the coronavirus disaster. If you look at a national map showing the vaccination rates of the states, it looks almost identical to a political map highlighting the red states and blue states. With a few exceptions, the states populated by a majority of registered Republicans have the lowest rate of vaccinations, in contrast to states dominated by Democrats.
W
If you look at states like New York, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire and New Jersey, the vaccination rates are in the 66 to 70 percent range. Most of the time those states support Democratic candidates over their Republican challengers. In sharp contrast, states such as Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota, West Virginia, Mississippi and Alaska are in the 40 per cent range. All of those states are considered solidly Republican. While crowded hospital intensive-care units are a distant memory for New Yorkers, people are dying in record numbers in red states for the sake of partisan politics. Not a day goes by without a story about some red state governor screaming about vaccine mandates and telling his or her citizens that it is their choice whether to get vaccinated or not for Covid protection. The irony of the state resistance to vaccinations is that all of their schoolchildren have been required to get a series of vaccinations in order to attend their local schools. I contrast the craziness of these grandstanding politicians with stories from across the Atlantic Ocean. Recent
p
reports from overseas highlight the fact that many of those countries are far ahead of the U.S. in vaccinating their residents. Portugal is a good example, because their vaccination rates tell an interesting story. According to the Wall Street Journal, close to 100 percent of people over age 50 in Portugal have received at least one vaccine dose. For those between ages 25 and 49, the rate is 95 percent. To date, 89 percent of the entire population of 10 million has had at least one dose. And Portugal’s high numbers are surpassed by the United Arab Emirates, which exerts strong control over its residents. The owner of a souvenir shop in Lisbon, Portugal, stated the best case for why our red states should be pushing for their people to be vaccinated. “I need tourists,” said Paula Margues. “Otherwise I have no business.” Places like Wyoming, Idaho, North Dakota and Alaska need tourism to keep their economies stable, and they spend millions each year to attract visitors. Instead of pushing for a healthy populace, their leaders spend most of their days battling federal mandates and looking for
artisan bickering over a vaccine will be recorded as a low point in our history.
ways to attract the approval of former President Donald Trump. There is another ironic twist to the red state resistance to vaccinations. Most of the people who are dying of Covid are also their favored voters. While the overall death numbers are small in comparison with the Eastern states, red state governors are allowing their people to suffer needlessly because of government inaction and the numerous false claims of anti-vaccine groups. This is pure government malpractice. I hope that in the not-too-distant future, the coronavirus pandemic will become nothing but a memory. But the partisan bickering over a life-or-death solution will be recorded as one of the bleakest times in the history of our country. Our citizens have every right to stand up for their personal beliefs, but not at the expense of millions of people whose lives were lost because politics got in the way. 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.
What to do before the winter snow flies
inter is coming, meteorologically, astronomically, politically and “Game of Throne”-y. Let us embrace this brief, bridge season between fall and early winter, when the weather is transitioning and the clouds are gathering. We could exhaust ourselves with political knife fights or try to figure out how our Great American Democracy came to hinge on the advice and consent of a fractious group of legislators, but we have all winter for that. RANDI We still have KREISS November and early December. There is practical stuff to consider during these weeks. I don’t feel like watering my annuals anymore, being lazy and more inclined to let them wither and die, but I feel guilty. How many more days do they have to enjoy their favorite activity, photosynthesis? So although they are ragged and quite pathetic, I douse them once in a while as an end-of-life gesture. It’s pretty much each living thing on
its own. The trees and big bushes had better be hardy enough to withstand a tough winter, because we don’t believe in coddling the plant life with fertilizer or plastic protection from the elements. We do close the windows in our porch and throw covers over the outdoor grill and chairs, but that’s about it in the way of preparation. Come the first cold snap, we’ll turn on the heat. For now, however, on good days the windows are open, and fresh air blows through the house. I feel a certain urgency to get out and do some of the activities I put off because, after all, we had “all summer.” So, come along and cash in on these warmenough days. Head for the boardwalk or the park for a brisk walk; before too long, we’ll be walking against the chilly winds of late November and December. Before too long, we’ll need hats and gloves to venture outside. Get out of town. I like the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where I can walk around the area where my great-grandparents began their life in America. The city beckons, with its pedestrian-friend-
C
ly districts and communities, and now is the time to go and walk, from the High Line to Battery Park. You can almost pretend that Covid doesn’t exist if you stay outside and dine at food stands. You can almost pretend that “surge” and “spike” and “antivax” aren’t part of the lexicon. In a few weeks, our city streets will become wind tunnels, inhospitable to the daytripper. Another perfect fall destination is the East End, to visit the vineyards and the corn mazes and experience the last perfect days on the beach. The crowds are gone and the restaurants are still open. Or head north a bit and pick apples. When my kids were young, that was probably our favorite fall activity. Recently my husband and I went back to one of the orchards we knew, and it had become overcrowded and commercial. But there are still growers who allow picking, and it’s worth a ride to wander through an orchard, pick a bag or a bushel and head home to make applesauce or cakes and pies. This is the moment. Soon the apples will be done
ash in on these warm-enough days before we break out the hats and gloves.
and it will be too cold to wander anywhere north of Westchester. Back home again, it’s time to plant bulbs for next spring. This is much more than guaranteeing a bit of color next May and June. It feels like an investment in the future, a declaration that come what may in January and February, we know the seasons will turn again, the sun will drift further north and the tulips will bloom. I think of it as an act of faith. In the same way, I spend some of these days preparing soup and packing it away in containers for the cold nights when I may not feel like cooking. Maybe that’s a little bit squirrely of me, storing food away for the hard times, but it feels good to do so. Kids are in school, beach clubs are closed and the days are getting shorter. Still, we have this autumn interlude. With all the tumult in the world, these few days seem like a metaphor for grasping what is good in our lives when we can, because we can. Something about knowing this time is finite propels me out the door and into the ebbing light. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Setting the record straight on county policing
F
our years ago, as the race for Nassau County executive between then Legislator Laura Curran, a Democrat, and then State Sen. Jack Martins, a Republican, was heating up, the state Republican Party attempted an all-too-common GOP political tactic: It tried to paint Democrats as weak on crime, saying Curran would allow the notorious El Salvadoran gang MS-13 to run wild across the county. The GOP did so in a last-minute mailer that showed three shirtless, tattooed Hispanic men grimacing angrily. The flier, mailed to homes across Nassau, read, “Meet your new neighbors. Laura Curran will roll out the welcome mat for violent gangs like MS-13.” The flier, which was inherently racist, came at a time when fears of MS-13 were running high after young Hispanic men, hacked to death with machetes by the gang, were found buried in the woods in Baldwin, Freeport, Merrick and Massapequa. It was a low blow that played to voters’ basest fears. And it was wrong. Voters saw past the Republicans’ attempt to win by any means possible, electing Curran, and MS-13 never overran Nassau, as predicted. In fact, we’ve heard little of the gang since a series of high-profile arrests of numerous gang leaders. Thankfully, we had had, as of press time Monday, relatively little of such political chicanery. Curran’s opponent this time around, Town of Hempstead Councilman Bruce Blakeman, was laserfocused on lambasting Curran over the county’s property-tax reassessment, and said relatively little about crime. During an endorsement interview with the Herald editorial board leading up to the election, however, Blakeman tried to make it sound as though Nassau was not, in fact, the “safest county in America” two years in a row, as judged by U.S. News & World Report. There had been an explosion of crime during the coronavirus pandemic, he said, that was not factored into the magazine’s rankings. He ticked off a list of recent violent crimes, wondering why they had not garnered greater media attention. That got us thinking: Is Nassau really as safe as the magazine says it is? Curran made public safety a cornerstone of her campaign, and regularly touted the U.S. News assessment. Nassau, we found, is indeed a very safe place to live. We could not undertake the county-by-county assessment that the magazine did. We did, however, look into the crime statistics for 2020 and 2021, Nassau County Police Department precinct by precinct. And, we are pleased to report, crime — particularly violent crime — has

been astonishingly low here the past two years. Nassau’s murder rate was 1.22 per 100,000 people in 2020. The nationwide average was, by comparison, 7.8 per 100,000, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That is not to say there is no violent crime here. This is not the Mayberry of “The Andy Griffith Show.” This is one of the country’s most densely populated counties — with nearly 1.35 million people — outside the largest city in the nation, so we expect to see crime. We cannot dispute the claim, though, that Nassau is either the safest or one of the safest large counties in the country. At press time, we had no idea who would win the county executive’s seat. The Herald endorsed Curran this year, as we did four years ago. Unlike 2017, she had a record to run on this time, and when it came to policing, she made the grade. So, win or lose, we should thank her for her continual support for the men and women
in blue who patrol our streets and keep us safe. Blakeman attempted to link Curran to the movement to defund police. In no way, however, did she ever promote a plan that would reduce funding for our police force. Quite the opposite. Throughout her first four years in office, she touted a singular message: She unequivocally supported the NCPD. At the same time, she was able to win a concession from police, who agreed, finally, to wear body cameras in exchange for an annual stipend. It was an important win for police accountability. We now encourage whoever wins the county executive’s seat to seek greater diversity in the police ranks. The latest class of police cadets to go through the academy this year, while more diverse than past classes, was still largely white. That must change as Nassau’s demographics change. We hope and trust that it will. If it does not, residents must demand reform.

T
he United Nations Climate Change Conference in Glasgow, Scotland, began last Sunday and will run through Nov. 12. Participants will include more than 190 government representatives and business leaders who are expected to discuss efforts to ensure that countries and companies live up to climatechange agreements made at the 2015 Paris climate conference. Former Secretary of State John Kerry, now the special presidential envoy for climate change, is ALAn heading the U.S. delegation, which sinGer includes several members of President Biden’s cabinet. Biden, who is also scheduled to attend, reportedly plans to call on nations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius — a still-devastating number. Long Islanders should pay close attention to this conference, because climate change will likely have a profound effect here, given that it’s causing sea levels to rise, and we live on an island. Unfortunately, the Biden administration has so far been unable to pass its ambitious climate agenda in the Senate. Climate villains include Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, of West Virginia, and virtually every Republican in the Senate
and House. Manchin’s political career is funded largely by fossil fuel companies, and he owns millions of dollars in coal company stock. He is trying to force the Biden administration to drop renewableenergy subsidies from the federal budget. American corporations often claim they are good environmental citizens. According to Alberto Carrillo Pineda of the Science Based Targets initiative, however, “You can look at a company’s website and see their sustainability report and it will look great, but then when you look at what is behind it, you’ll see there is not a lot of substance behind those commitments, or the commitments are not comprehensive enough.” A recently released report by the Private Equity Stakeholder Project highlights how the short-term hunt for profit and market manipulation make U.S. finance one of the world’s biggest climate villains. While countries, including the U.S., are plagued by drought, forest fires and hurricanes because of climate change, the secretive private equity industry has invested more than a trillion dollars during the last decade in fossil-fuel companies. Virtually singlehandedly, the industry keeps some of the worst-polluting oil wells, natural gasleaking towers and coal-burning power plants pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Three of the corporate players high-

LeTTers East Side Access is a year from completion To the Editor: I recently joined Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials to take a special Long Island Rail Road test train to Grand Central Terminal, giving the public one of the first looks at the new 350,000-square-foot East Side Access passenger terminal there. This is the largest new train terminal to be built in the United States since the 1950s and the first expansion of the LIRR in more than 100 years. Together with the LIRR third-track project, the new connection will add 50 percent to the LIRR’s capacity into Manhattan, with up to 24 trains per hour, and cut travel time for Queens and Long Island commuters traveling to the East Side by 40 minutes per day. It will also reduce crowding on commuter rail at Penn Station and on the subway by dispersing commuters and allowing passengers to go directly to Grand Central Ter minal from destinations across Queens and Long Island. The new com-
lighted in the Private Equity Stakeholder Project report are the Blackstone Group, KKR & Co. and the Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital. Blackstone is the world’s largest “alternative” asset manager. While its ClearGen subsidy is committed to promoting “sustainable-energy infrastructure,” Blackstone invests in 25 fossil-fuel companies. Among its recent acquisitions is the pipeline company Tallgrass Energy, which is developing an “oil export terminal in Louisiana that would emit more than 500,000 tons of greenhouse gases annually.” Tallgrass is also responsible for releasing thousands of gallons of oilfield wastewater contaminating North Dakota farmland. And Blackstone is notorious for investing heavily “in polluting plants located in proximity to communities of color.” KKR plans to partner with the renewable energy consulting firm Crossover Energy Partners to develop solar and wind power projects. However, it also partners with the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company to produce and distribute petroleum products, and is expanding natural-gas fracking projects in Wyoming. Overall, KKR invests in 28 fossilfuel companies. The Carlyle Group/NGP Energy Capital plans to invest in Amp Solar Group, “a Canadian-based global energy transition platform,” but it is also investing in expanding oil production in Colombia and Ghana. Overall, it
holds assets in 68 fossil-fuel companies. While capitalists pollute the Earth and speed up global warming, nominally socialist countries like China aren’t doing much better, and belong on the climate villains list. China’s leader, Xi Jinping, promises that it will start reducing greenhouse gases by 2030, and will be carbon neutral by 2060. Meantime, it is increasing coal production and the use of coal-fired power plants. The plants receive tax deductions and are greenlighted for bank loans. The list of climate villains must also include Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Libya, Argentina, Colombia and Brazil, all nations that are expected to attend the Glasgow conference. Saudi Arabia’s national oil company, Aramco, the world’s leading oil producer, recently announced plans to increase its production by at least a million barrels a day by the 2030s. Stateowned oil companies in the other countries are also planning to increase production. The UAE was the first Persian Gulf country to pledge net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Meanwhile, it is investing more than $100 billion in new oil and gas projects.
