Another possible last strike? Amusement business faces major rent hike By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
A family-owned and funoriented local business that has operated on the same state-owned site for 43 years is once again facing a substantial rent increase that threatens its survival. On 0ct. 27, Marty Rosen, who, with his son, Matt, owns and operates Five Towns Mini-Golf and Batting Range, on Rockaway Turnpike in
Lawrence, received a letter from the New York State Department of Transportation informing him that his monthly rent would increase to $11,700 as of Jan. 1, 2022, for the state-issued Property Use and Occupancy permit the business has operated under since it opened in 1978. In December 2015, the Rosens’ company, Three and Two Enterprises Inc., was hit with a 160 percent rent increase, from $4,750 to
$12,435, reflecting the most recent DOT appraisal of the land’s value. After 18 months of wrangling and an independent appraiser’s study of similar properties, the DOT instead raised the rent by 35 percent, to $6,412.50 per month beginning in May 2017. “I wish they would show us some kind of love and respect,” Marty said of the DOT as he worked the business’s customer service booth Continued on page 14

2020 explosion, fire still burns for residents
NASSAU HERALD — November 11, 2021
By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
After all the fire trucks, firefighters and other emergency equipment that responded to the Nov. 1, 2020 explosion and fire that wrecked three Meadowmere Park homes that early Sunday morning, the residents had to rebuild. The house that was at 3 South Street, where the explosion that ignited the fire originated, is presently a vacant property, while 5 South Street has been fully rebuilt, and 1 South Street is being rebuilt. All three homes were damaged beyond repair and had to be demolished soon after the explosion. 5 South Street, home of Deborah, Vincent, and Charles Lombardo, was demolished in the same month of the incident. “It was a bittersweet day as we watched 65 years of family history taken away,” wrote Vincent Lombardo on the GoFundMe page created by Tinamarie Lombardo, a niece and cousin of the family. The Lombardo’s GoFundMe, which remains live, has 173 donations and raised nearly $27,500, as of press time. The newly, completely rebuilt Lombardo residence stands beside a dirt lot, previously 3 South Street, which is currently enclosed by fencing. “The house that blew up, they didn’t touch it yet,” said Meadowmere Park Fire Chief Kevin Carrero, “They just knocked it down, that was it.” Anil Mehta and Sid Mehta, the then residents of 3 South Street, have moved, neighbors said. Anil went to Queens and Sid went to California. On the other side of the dirt lot, construction workers were working at 1 South Street on Nov. 4. The vacant empty structure has scaffolding on one side and remains

Residents of 1 South Street, Mohamed and Azza-Ellaboudy Ibrahim, also received donations through a GoFundMe set up by a friend, Maria Rodriguez. The Ibrahim GoFundMe, which is still live, received 19 donations and raised nearly $2,200, as of press time. It has been a little more than a year since the explosion and the related fire, neighbor Arlene Silva of West Ave is impressed by the quick rebuild of the homes at 5
and 1 South Street. Silva and her husband are just getting back into their house this week after some complications caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. “Look how far they are,” Silva said, “and we already had a whole house to begin with!” To donate to the respective GoFundMe sites, go to https://bit.ly/3CWdEM4 for the Lombardo family and https://bit.ly/31t5CMx for the Ibrahim families.
Aiming to grow, keep Judaism alive By JeFFReY BeSSen jbessen@liherald.com
There are 5,000 Chabads across the world and the Five Towns has two – the Chabad of Hewlett and the Chabad of the Five Towns – and the many rabbis from those Chabads, including Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim and Rabbi Zalman Wolowik attended the 38th annual International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries in Brooklyn Oct. 28 to 31. The Chief Rabbi of Iran Yehuda Gerami visited the United States and attended the conference, called the Kinus Hashlochim. There are no Chabads in Iran, but the country once known as Persia, has a rich Jewish history that stretches back more than 2,500 years, and despite the recurring Middle Eastern conflicts there are roughly 20,000 Jews in Iran, concentrated in the country’s major cities of Isfahan, Shiraz and Tehran. Wolowik, the leader of the Five Towns Chabad, attended his 27th conference. “Every year we get together at the convention and it’s like a family,” he said, noting for him it is truly familial as his father-inlaw Rabbi Moshe Kotlarsky chaired the conference and is the director of the International Conference of Chabad-Lubavitch Emissaries and vice-chairman of Merkos L’lnyonei Chinuch, the educational arm of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement.

RABBI ZALMAn woLowIk, right, leader of the Chabad of the Five Towns, with the Chief Rabbi of Iran Yehuda Gerami at the Chabad conference last month. as “Judaism’s Globe Trotter,” he travels the world establishing Jewish centers for the Chabad-Lubavitch movement. Gerami, 35, used the conference to meet and speak with the Chabad rabbi from around the globe, including Australia, Russia, Turkey, along with the United States. In
North America there are 2,984 Chabads. The rabbi has studied in Israel and the U.S. For Tenenboim, the leader of the Hewlett Chabad, for the past 10 years, said the overarching sentiment he gleaned from the conference was, “The feeling of the Jewish renaissance,” he said, noting that
despite all the challenges facing Jews across the world that the mission is to, “make sure our Chabad and every Jew and person who wants to be inspired,” has that opportunity. Though not every Chabad rabbi could attend because of Covid restrictions, Tenenboim said the convention was “very impressive” and all that was said was “most encouraging,” as the rabbis returned to their congregations. “The rabbi was very impressive and is always learning,” Tenenboim said about Gerami,” he is doing the utmost to keep Judaism alive.” In the Five Towns, where there are many Jews and living a n observant life is much easier, Wolowik said in comparison it is more difficult for Iranian Jews, and the mission is to “help them to preserve their tradition.” Chabads serve as anchor worldwide for Judaism, Wolowik said, and it is all about relationships that keeps the global Jewish community together, whether it’s the upcoming Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, where the menorah is viewed as symbol of religious freedom, he said or helping people build a mikvah in North Woodmere, the first one in that community. A mikvah is a ritual bath for Jewish women. “With Chabad being an anchor, we have very strong friendships that make the world a better place,” he said.

Rabbi adam EnglandER, HALB’s head of school, spoke to eighth-graders on the importance of the Names, Not Numbers project.
Lawrence students from kindergarten through sixth grade attended a “Fall Festival Bash” in the Lawrence Elementary School gymnasium on Oct. 29, where 200 children wore their Halloween costumes, danced to a deejay spinning child-friendly songs and had the chance to win prizes. “The ‘Fall Festival Bash’ was a wonderful way to kick off Halloween weekend for our younger students,” Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen stated in a news release. “The students were able to show off their creative costumes, dance to fun music, win raffle prizes, and spend time amongst their peers in a safe environment.” Three district schools – the Early Childhood Center, Lawrence Primary and Lawrence Elementary – were represented at the bash. The costumes included students dressed as characters from The Avengers, Mario and Luigi, an alien and even a pink unicorn. The Lawrence PTA sponsored the event, which according to school officials, followed all Covid-19 safety protocols.

Child psychologist takes a shot explaining vaccines lmargaria@liherald.com
Dr. Laurie Zelinger, a Cedarhurst board certified child psychologist, recently published her newest children’s book, “Please Explain Vaccines to Me: Because I Hate Shots,” on Oct. 15 with a goal to help children overcome the fear of hypodermic needles. In the past, Zelinger has written and published seven other books, six of which are in the same Please Explain series, breaking down topics such as anxiety, tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy, terrorism, time out, Alzheimer’s disease, and, her latest topic, vaccines. The book is written with the intent to not promote any specific vaccine, but to help children prepare for visits to the doctor’s office and manage their anxiety inducing feelings towards injections of medication, pain relievers, numbing agents, blood work, IV insertion or other needle-procedures that generally frighten most children. As a child, Zelinger said she had an extreme fear of shots. She realized this fear was prevalent among her young patients, and upon doing research, Zelinger found that 68 percent of kids share this intense fear, and that anxiety increases one’s perception of pain, she said. “I figured if it was that common, I wrote the book and then, in addition, knowing that the Covid vaccine was becoming available, I thought that we were going to see ramped up anxiety in kids about it,” Zelinger said. After the colorful, kid-friendly section of the story, there is a parent’s section which includes
tips towards coaching children to ease their anxiety, and other relevant, footnoted, sciencebased information with a reference section. The publication was reviewed by a pediatrician, a pediatric dentist, a nurse, a psychologist and a social worker, who approved of it because of its inclusion of both a kids and a parents’ section, Zelinger said. “I thought it was fabulous,” said psychologist Dr. Gale Grobstein, who has a practice in Hewlett. “It really addressed all of the pertinent areas of children’s fears about doctors, dentists and especially getting shots, which is so anxiety provoking for many of them.” Darlene Glasser, a retired nurse and health teacher, thought the timing of the book’s release was advantageous with children aged 5 to 11 now being allowed to receive a Covid vaccination. “I think that, as an educator, preparing children for the things they fear is the way to go,” she said. “I thought it was a very good learning tool and a great tool to use with parents and kids together to open up dialogue and talk about fears and role play.” Zelinger put her book to the test by reading it to the children she treats in her practice. “They all said that, after I read it to them, they felt less scared,” she said. What Zelinger likes most about this book is that the illustrations have diversity and represent people of different races and ethnicities. “I really wanted to make sure that it appealed to all kinds of families,” she said.

Ogden elementary SchOOl students played the dodgeball variant game of gaga at Fall Y’all last month.
Fall Y’all at Ogden Elementary School Combining the autumn season and the informal greeting that originated in the Southern states, Ogden Elementary School hosted its inaugural Fall Y’all festival on Oct. 28 that stretched from one end of the outside of the school campus to the other. There were inflatables and pedaled-powered go-karts. There was a pumpkin patch, several cornhole games, an enclosed circle for the crazy game of gaga (a variant of dodgeball), two musical setups: a DJ at the entrance, apple cider, cotton candy, barbecued foods, including corn on the cob. There was a real live teenage band – Noah’s Ark – vocalist Mia Rinaldi, guitarist Owen Lashman, bassist Noah Leff and drummer
Paul Marquardt. Hewlett-Woodmere teacher Caine Reed filled in for regular keyboardist Andrew Morrow. More than 400 people attended the event that even had Ogden Principal Dina Anzalone making some of the cotton candy, along with ensuring that Fall Y’all was a success. That included a kosher option for food and Anzalone’s upbeat attitude that has created an environment where former students and parents of former students return to volunteer at events such as this newly created festival. “It’s a real community,” she said, “and the day worked out for us,” noting that the cloud-fille sky did not produce rain and for a brief time the sun lit up the sky. –Jeffrey Bessen

Normacy in sight with children’s vaccine continued from front page school, to a degree, for socialization, not just book knowledge, and we’re really depriving them of it. Masking separates kids.” Although it has been a challenging time for students, Pedersen said, “The children have demonstrated tremendous resilience. They are social and happy to be in school, the masks seem almost second nature to them now — they’re pretty comfortable, it looks like, with them.” It is still possible that children are missing important aspects of socialization just by wearing masks. Although people have expressive eyes, Pedersen added, “There’s some of the nuances of language expression that come from the face that especially young children are missing out on,” and “getting those verbal cues from facial expressions” are an important part of normalcy. Dr. Ralph Marino Jr., superintendent of the HewlettWoodmere School District, said that the district had not received any official guidance on quarantine requirements for vaccinated children ages 5 to 11. “When and if we receive guidance, we would adjust our protocols,” Marino wrote in an email. “We will continue to share vaccine opportunities with the community.” Whether the state does away with mask mandates in schools may depend on how many parents decide to vaccinate their children. Six in 10 children in New York who are 12 and older are already vaccinated, according to officials at Cohen Children’s Medical Center at Northwell Health. That leaves 40 percent of that age group unvaccinated, even though the vaccine has been available since May. Officials at Cohen Children’s Medical Center, such as Chief of General Pediatrics Dr. Sophia Jan, say they hope the vaccine will restore a sense of normalcy. “Being

Onsite Medical Solutions nurse Tanya Vowes administered the PfizerBioNTech vaccine to Yeshiva of South Shore eighth-grader Adir Sacknovitz at HALB in May. vaccinated will make it so much easier for our youngsters to get back to their normal lives,” Jan stated in a Nov. 4 news release. “Not only will they be able to get back to school and enjoy the holidays, but the important things — like hugging their parents and visiting their grandparents — we can start thinking about these things again.” Sicklick said he believed that dishonest media representation could be playing a role in vaccine hesitancy, and that people should trust their doctors. The vaccines are not risk-free, but it is even more vital to be vaccinated, he said, because the Delta and Delta plus variants of Covid are more contagious. “I have not found very many confident doctors saying not to vaccinate,” Sicklick said. “There may be, among
pediatricians, some hesitation about giving this new vaccine, because they don’t think the need is that great. It doesn’t mean that it’s not safe; it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a benefit. Everything in medicine has [a] risk-benefit ratio.” In the Five Towns, the Pfizer-BioNTech children’s vaccine for 5- to 11-year-olds is available at the CVS pharmacies at 1740 Broadway in Hewlett and at 929 Broadway in Woodmere. The CVS in Inwood does not offer the shot. Due to the recent demand, CVS recommends making an appointment on its website, CVS.com/vaccines. Have an opinion on Covid-19 vaccines?

DOT hits Lawrence business with huge increase on Nov. 4. “We’ve run a good, clean business for 43 years.” Now facing a nearly 55 percent rent hike, the 79-year-old Rosen said that his business could be teetering on the brink. “We have over 4,500 people sign the petition,” he said, referring to a petition that was created in 2016 in support of the business, and included many rave reviews written by people from the Five Towns and as far away as New Jersey. Many of the commenters shared the sentiment that their families have patronized the Rosens’ miniature golf course and batting cages for many years, describing the facility as a rare place not only for sharpening baseball and softball skills, but also for family fun — and in many cases, memorable dates. Late in the afternoon of Nov. 4, a cool fall day, Queens resident Jennifer Jaume brought her son Chase, 10, for batting practice before his travel ball playoff game last Saturday. “My family — we love it here,” Jaume said, recalling when her father, James Robinson, brought the family to the Lawrence attraction. “It’s a nice way to spend a couple of hours. This is a staple.” Jaume added that she looked forward to bringing her grandkids someday. For that to happen, though, the DOT may have to rethink the rent increase. After receiving the department’s latest letter, Rosen contacted state officials, and
said he got this sobering response: “We’ve been lax in updating our rents.” Asked about Five Towns Mini-Golf and Batting Range’s increase, DOT spokesman Stephen Canzoneri wrote in an email, “The New York State Department regularly reevaluates permits for use and occupancy within the department’s right of way. These properties were acquired and are retained for the future of the traveling public. Rates are determined by an appraisal, according to the fair market value.” Of the 89 state-issued Property Use and Occupancy permits in Nassau County, four are along the Nassau Expressway and Rockaway Turnpike corridor, according to the DOT, including 590 Rockaway Turnpike, a former Toyota dealership that the state is now using as a staging area for snow-plowing equipment. All Rosen is asking for, he said, is a fair shake from the state. “This is very stressful,” he said, crediting his 56-year-old son with being his right-hand man for so many years, while hoping the business remains viable for one of his grandkids to run in the future. “We bring happiness to people, and I want to keep it going.” Have an opinion on the Rosen business’s rent increase?

larceny in North Lawrence A Queens resident who allegedly stole merchandise from Burlington Coat Factory in North Lawrence on Nov. 3 that was stuffed into two duffel bags and resisted arrest was subdued by police after a brief altercation, Nassau County police said. Fourth Squad detectives responded to the clothing store on Rockaway Turnpike at 9:10 a.m., for an alleged theft of items. When there, Yance Folk, 49, of 255th Street in Rosedale, walked pass them with the duffel bags, according to police. Folk then passed all points of purchase and allegedly made no attempt to pay for t h e m e r c h a n d i s e. W h e n p o l i c e approached Folk he ran out of the store into the parking lot and did not comply with police commands, the police said. After a brief foot pursuit, the officers caught up to Folk, who then punched one officer in the face and repeatedly tried to punch and kick the police, authorities said. He was subdued with the use of a taser. One officer suffered injuries to is face and finger and was taken to an area hospital for treatment. Folk is charged with second-degree assault, petit larceny and resisting arrest. Arraigned at First District Court, 99 Main Street in Hempstead, on Nov. 4, his next court date is Dec. 3, and he is in custody. James McGlynn, who has a law practice in Bethpage, is representing Folk. He did not return a call for comment. —Jeffrey Bessen

Q. I’m buying a sunroom for my breakfast room on the back of my split-level house, about 8 feet off the ground. I’m being told by the contractor that I need an architect and sealed plans. Since it’s basically a kit of parts that will go on my existing deck, why do I need this? It seems like a lot of extra expense the sunroom people didn’t tell me about. If I already have a permit for the deck, it should be allowed, right? I haven’t bought the sunroom yet. I’m just trying to be sure I know the whole story before I do this, probably by spring, when the weather is better for construction. Any advice would be helpful. A. Do things once, the best way. A deck isn’t habitable, but a sunroom is, and a permit is required. Plans have to show structural support, energy and building code compliance. Rain, moisture and ice are your primary concerns.
Ask The Architect
You need the whole story without the sales onte eeper part. Just like any purchase, issues you might not expect are still important, like finding out what kind of oil to add to your snow blower before the engine seizes or that windows without factory tinting can allow ultraviolet sunlight rays to fade your carpet. As an architect for a largely popular sunroom manufacturer in the 1980s and ’90s, I experienced many issues with their construction.

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

Think green — clean your vehicle at a car wash
B
ravo to New York state voters for overwhelmingly passing a ballot referendum last week adding wording to the New York Constitution’s Bill of Rights guaranteeing the right to clean water, air and a healthful environment. The measure passed with nearly 70 percent of the vote. Some 1.9 million New Yorkers voted for it, while roughly 860,000 voted against it. Clearly, New Yorkers were signaling that, yes, they care about the environment, and yes, they would like to protect it. Here’s the challenge: It’s one thing to put to paper that you care about the environment. It’s another thing entirely to act, day in and day out, in a manner that actually protects the environment. Each of our daily actions — many of them seemingly small — can either contribute to protecting our environment or potentially do irrevocable harm. Take washing your car, for example. How you wash it can have a profound effect on the environment, particularly the wetlands that hug Long Island’s shores. Here we must pause and offer high praise to the Village of Garden City, which in 2013 became one of the few local municipalities to prohibit residents from cleaning their cars on their own properties. It’s a critical local ordinance. Washing your car in your driveway damages the environment, because everything that is washed from it streams into the storm drains —

LETTERS The people spoke at the ballot box To the Editor: Voters nationwide sent a message to our elected leaders on Nov. 2, reminding them that they do, in fact, work for us, not the other way around. The pushback put a stop to multiple socialist agendas via the power of the vote. Here are important takeaways from the election: ■ Parents should have a voice in how their children are educated. The people spoke loud and clear. Just ask Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe. Even former President Barack Obama, Vice President Kamala Harris, former U.S. Rep. Stacey Abrams of Georgia and President Biden himself couldn’t sway that vote. ■ We are not a racist nation, even though socialists keep pushing that false narrative. Now the focus has shifted to calling Black conservatives like Larry Elder and newly elected Winsome Sears the new faces of
from the soap and polish to oil, grease and gasoline — and eventually winds up in the wetlands and bays surrounding the Island. While there are eco-friendly biodegradable soaps, many are poisonous to marine life, often with a host of cancer-causing ingredients, from naphthalene to perchloroethylene and methylene chloride, and the phosphates that several soaps contain accelerate seaweed growth. When the seaweed reaches unnatural lengths, it breaks apart in the saltwater and rots, robbing fish of dissolved oxygen, creating dead zones in local bays. Washing your car by hand also wastes a great deal of water compared with professional car washes, which, as a matter of sound business practice, recycle 90 percent of their water. Additionally, the federal Clean Water Act of 1972 requires car washes to route wastewater to treatment facilities “designed to protect the environment,” according to the federal Environmental Protection Agency. To understand the scope of the issue at hand, we point to the Town of Hempstead, which has jurisdiction over the wetlands across Nassau’s South Shore, from Atlantic Beach in the west to Seaford in the east. That’s more than 180 miles of coastline and 17,000 acres of wetlands. Anything that seeps down through the storm drains winds up there. We would encourage any officials in charge of Nassau’s villages, towns and cities to think hard about following Garden
City’s example and prohibit residents from washing their cars in their driveways. The Town of Oyster Bay, which has jurisdiction over wetlands on both the north and south shores, addresses the issue on its Storm Water Runoff and Water Quality website, saying residents should wash their cars on their lawns rather than in their driveways. At least then the wastewater doesn’t wash into the streets, wetlands and bays, the logic goes. The State Department of Environmental Conservation offers the same suggestion. The trouble is, the practice is about as damaging to Long Island’s environment as washing your car in your driveway. Toxins slowly seep through the soil into groundwater and, eventually, the aquifers that we depend on for our drinking water. The aquifers are massive stores of underground water, deposited tens of millions of years ago. Without them we would need to import our drinking water from off Long Island, at an exorbitant cost. Bottom line: Wash your car at a professional car wash. You might pay a little more, but you’ll save yourself precious time, you’ll support an important local business, and you’ll help save the environment. Following this most recent election, we hope our government leaders from across Nassau County will double down on their efforts to protect the environment. We only have one Earth.

opinions
f Election Day 2021 proved anything, it’s that Long Island voters shouldn’t be taken for granted. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran had been told by pollsters, Democratic Party leaders and pundits that she had this. She had attended all the civic meetings, street fairs and news conferences. She was approachable, engaged and empathic. And she spent four years raising campaign cash with the intent of spending all of it to ensure no surprises on election night. ronALD J. What she didn’t hear was the palparosenBerG ble anger of homeowners whose property assessments are still way out of whack. Nor could she avoid being on the same ballot with a Democratic district attorney candidate who co-sponsored the state’s bail bill that puts criminals back on the street before the arresting police can return to their patrol cars. For Curran, standing next to State Sen. Todd Kaminsky was more than minor collateral damage. Nor could she control what appears to
be an anemic county Democratic organization that is long on strategic analysis, but short on the ability to get its own supporters out to vote. The Republican candidate, Bruce Blakeman, astutely declined to follow the traditional tactics of a campaign “underdog.” He didn’t attack the incumbent. On any number of occasions, he told audiences that “she is undoubtedly a nice person.” But Blakeman would then methodically examine the policy failings of the Curran administration and let the facts speak for themselves. The voters heard, and responded. Blakeman had a crucial partner: Nassau GOP Chairman Joseph G. Cairo Jr. Quiet, reserved and a veteran of countless election nights, Cairo has the unique ability to intuitively spot political trends, recruit candidates who resonate with voters and, perhaps most important, pay attention to the grassroots mechanics of motivating voters to leave their homes on chilly, rainy November nights and head to the polls. While much coverage has been devoted to Blakeman’s victory, Cairo’s political professionalism reached beyond that single election-night win. North Hempstead,
M
otivating voters to leave home on a chily night and head to the polls.
Letters white supremacy. Sears, elected as Virginia’s first female lieutenant governor of color, broke a glass ceiling, yet she didn’t receive a minute’s recognition by mainstream media. The only thing more pathetic was the Lincoln Project attempting to paint Virginia Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin as a white supremacist, and being dumb enough to hire a Black man holding a torch to represent its twisted, lying depiction. ■ The American people do not want to defund the police. That proposal went down in flames wherever it was on the ballot. ■ The people know that inflation has been caused by the Biden agenda. Just go shopping! ■ Hispanics living along the border voted overwhelmingly to secure our borders. ■ The people know that violent crime is on the rise. ■ The people see vaccine mandates being implemented throughout the nation while members of Congress exempt themselves from them. (Just like Obamacare!) ■ The majority of people do not want bail reform. ■ The people see the hypocrisy of the recent climate-change conference in Glasgow, Scotland, that more than 400 private planes flew in to, and Biden’s motorcade in Rome only days earlier had 85 vehicles in it.
a generational Democratic enclave, went Republican, too, with Jennifer DeSena beating Wayne Wink in the race for town supervisor — no small feat given Wink’s longstanding political presence in that township and overwhelming Democratic enrollment. Cairo also knows his political history. He saw how the Nassau County Republican Party of the late 1940s reinvented itself when Long island suburbs became home to Italians, Jews and Irish seeking a place for their families in communities across post-war Long Island. Those ethnicities became the next-generation Republicans. So, it’s no surprise that Cairo nominated Republican Mazi Melesa Pilip, a first-time candidate from Great Neck, to run against incumbent Democratic County Legislator Ellen Birnbaum in the 10th District, with Pilip declaring victory last Tuesday night. And just who is this person that Cairo entrusted with this race? Pilip was born in Ethiopia, moved to Israel at age 12, and became an Israel Defense Forces paratrooper and a gunsmith before graduating with a bachelor’s degree in occupational therapy from the University of Haifa and
a master’s in diplomacy and security from Tel Aviv University. The ability to motivate Republican voters to make their voices heard has put two other Democratic Nassau legislative incumbents at risk, with Republican Paolo Pironi ahead of self-proclaimed “independent” Joshua Lafazan, and Republican Daniel Atler leading Democratic Legislator Arnold Drucker by several hundred votes. Absentee ballots may ultimately decide those races, but the tally thus far has certainly given the incumbents a shock. Like meteorologists, pollsters get paid whether they get the forecast right or not. Candidates should view Election Day 2021 as a cautionary tale, as the Nassau GOP wins have sent a shock wave from one end of the state to the other. The victory tally is reminding both parties that, regardless of the latest social media, computer-driven analytics, media endorsements and geo-fencing digital ads, there is no substitute for the type of grass-roots politics practiced by Cairo and the Nassau GOP. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

A glance at NYC’s subway past To the Editor: On Oct. 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit company opened the first subway line. It ran nine miles uptown from City Hall on Manhattan’s East Side, across 42nd Street (today’s 42nd Street Shuttle) to Times Square, and uptown to 145th Street. It included 28 stations. More than 150,000 riders paid a 5-cent fare. The original BMT (Brooklyn Manhattan Rapid Transit — today’s B, D, J, M, N, Q, R and Z lines) and IRT (Interboro Rapid Transit — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, Franklin Avenue and Times Square shuttles) subway systems were constructed and managed by the private sector, with no government operating subsidies. Financial viability depended entirely on farebox revenues. These systems supported both the development and the economic growth of numerous neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx and Queens.

In the 1930s, New York City began construction of the new IND (Independent Subway — today’s A, C, E, F and G lines). This new municipal system, subsidized by taxpayer dollars, provided direct competition to both the IRT and BMT. Municipal government forced them into economic ruin by denying them fare increases that would have provided access to additional revenues. Big Brother, just like the Godfa-
ther, eventually made them an offer they couldn’t refuse. The owners folded and sold out to City Hall. LARRY PENNER Great Neck Penner is transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 New York Office.

A famed journalist enlightens us on cancer reporting
t’s rare that you get the chance to meet your professional heroes, so when one of mine, former Newsday environmental reporter Dan Fagin, now the director of NYU’s graduate Science, Health and Environmental Reporting Program, recently came to Hofstra University to give an hourlong talk on his seminal book, the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Toms River: A Story of Science and Salvation,” I had to attend. His 462-page masterwork, published by Bantam, recounts the decades-long history of industrialSCoTT waste mismanagement and malfeaBRINToN sance in Toms River, N.J., a seaside community of about 94,000 an hour and a half south of New York City. I read the book shortly after it was published in 2014, and ever since, I had hoped to meet Fagin, now 58, of Sea Cliff. Toms River is known for its high rate of childhood cancers, in particular leukemia among girls under 5, from the early 1970s through the 2000s. Government reports attribute the spike, at least in part, to the “public health hazards” posed by widespread soil and water contamination at a now-closed Ciba-Geigy chemical plant and a massive,
I
illegal toxic-waste dump at Reich Farm, which has been cleaned up, but only came under consideration for removal from the federal Superfund Site list this year. Both the plant and the dump tainted local drinkingwater wells, according to the New Jersey Department of Health. In “Toms River,” Fagin details the sordid events that spread a witch’s brew of carcinogens among the good people of this otherwise safe community, which has a reputation for patriotism, a vibrant civic culture and a deep love of Little League baseball. Toms River reminds me of so many Long Island coastal communities — earnest, hard-working, conservativeleaning but not extreme in its political views, inhabited by professionals and bluecollar workers alike. And, as is the case in more than one Long Island community, innocent residents there were forced to cope with an industrial disaster not of their making. From 2001 to 2005, I reported on Freeport Power Plant No. 2, which for three decades had spewed unfiltered exhaust from its two 13,000-horsepower diesel ship engines into surrounding communities. I walked door to door in the neighborhoods around the plant, asking people whether someone in their homes had had or died of cancer, or whether they knew of any local people stricken by

the disease. In house after house in the Old Lindenmere neighborhood of Merrick, people reported that someone — or multiple people — in their homes had battled cancer or died from it, with many afflicted at young ages. In one case, an entire family of four had succumbed to unusual cancers. I could never call the neighborhood a “cancer cluster,” a designation that required confirmation through years of study to determine whether the cancer cases people reported were a random pattern — an accident of nature, if you will — or were tied to an industrial pollutant such as diesel exhaust, found by scientists to be among the most carcinogenic substances in the world. I worried about my reporting: Was I unnecessarily scaring people? Once I had begun, however, I quickly realized I couldn’t stop until the plant was shut down. Otherwise, residents would have lived in constant fear, and many potential homebuyers might have avoided the area, depressing housing prices. I wrote 44 stories, and thanks largely to then State Sen. Charles Fuschillo Jr., Long Island Power Authority Chairman Richard Kessel, and Merrick civic activists Joe Kralovich and Bob Young, the plant was closed in March 2002 and replaced in September 2005 by a clean-burning natural-gas

plant that included pollution controls. The old plant, grandfathered from the Clean Air Act of 1970 because it was completed in 1969, had none. I had a question for Fagin: Should journalists pursue such stories through anecdotal reporting, despite the lack of an official cancer-cluster designation? I was heartened by his answer: Journalists mustn’t ignore such stories. We must be honest with our audiences about “the lack of evidence” — that is, the dearth of state and federal data to back people’s assertions — but we should press forward. Whew! I was hoping he’d say that. Two decades later, I know that pursuing the power plant story was the right thing to do. On Oct. 22, 2001, I snapped a photo of 9-year-old Tyler Seaman, of Old Lindenmere, clutching two candles at a vigil outside a state public hearing over Plant No. 2’s operating permit. The photo appeared on the front page of the Oct. 25-Oct. 31 Merrick and Bellmore Heralds, and I included Tyler’s comments from the hearing in the story. “I am afraid every day that I will not see another day,” he said. In 2006, Tyler learned he had chordoma, a rare bone cancer that lodges at the base of the skull or in the spine. He died in 2010, at 18.

To sleep, perchance to pop awake again
n my hopeful search for common ground between the political and cultural forces of the far right and the far left, I have pretty much come up empty. Until now. After much consideration and not that much scientific research (since so many people don’t believe in it anyway), I realize that what many of us have in common is sleeplessness. I generally don’t ask friends how they sleep, but more and more often, someone mentions that their sleep has RANDI changed during KREISS and post-pandemic, if we even are “post,” which is part of the problem. I imagine that folks on the right are up at night worrying about the big money the Dems want to spend. Some tell me they think that, if the Build Back Better bills pass, the money will be mismanaged or disappear into a maze of inefficient government programs. I hear fears that undeserving people will get a “free ride” and others will have to pay their tab. They think about President Biden’s age and
wonder if he can lead us in the world. Who will pay for it all? they ask. Some Republicans resist vaccine mandates and mask mandates, believing their civil liberties are being violated. They stay up at night worrying about what their kids are being taught in school. Yeah, it’s enough to keep you tossing and turning. I know what folk on the left are thinking, because that’s where I stand, although I am losing patience with the far left and finding myself drifting to the center. No wonder we can’t sleep: We’re all floating. I worry that resistance to Covid vaccine mandates will perpetuate a chronic pandemic, unleashing unknowable variants. I think the Dems, addicted to infighting, will lose a one-time opportunity to pass legislation this session that would truly help people with child care and elder care and medical coverage. Here is the chance to repair roads and bridges and outdated schools. The Dems have failed miserably in communicating the good stuff in these bills, while perseverating publicly on everything that will be left out of a compromise package. I so believe in what they’re doing, but their message isn’t reso-
N
nating with voters. One commentator advised the Dems to stop giving us the detailed recipe for what you’re baking and let us taste the brownies! The other stuff I worry about is, oh, basic things like no one can agree on facts or the truth or whether or not John F. Kennedy Jr. is really dead or when the last election will be overthrown. We haven’t even touched on gender rights and racial equality and climate change, and why anti-Semitism is surging across America. Last night I lay awake thinking about the fact that hundreds of QAnon followers gathered in Dallas last week to greet JFK Jr., who has been dead since 1999. They believed that he would appear and help Donald Trump become president again. How can you sleep when this kind of aberrational thinking is gaining traction? So, can we agree that wherever we sit on the political and cultural spectrum, our worries are keeping us up at night? In the world of sleep science, five major disorders are recognized: insomnia, restless leg syndrome, sleep apnea, narcolepsy and REM sleep disorder. I am describing
o matter your politics, it seems, you’ve got plenty to worry about.
something new that blossomed with the pandemic and now feels as chronic as the uncertainty with which we live. Back in 2020, once I realized that Covid19 would not be a two- or three-week sprint, my sleep changed. I would fall asleep because I was emotionally exhausted and then I would pop awake, and this would go on for hours. When I woke in the morning, my heart would be racing. I’ve learned some breathing techniques and other ways to talk myself down and relax. But I don’t sleep as peacefully as I once did. When I pop awake these days, I read a boring science article or an underwhelming book. No middle-of-the-night crosswords, bridge, Words With Friends or checking out the morning newspapers. Eventually, I sleep. So, for my friends worried about Biden and his programs, and my friends worried about the insurrection of Jan. 6 and the resurrection of a former president, watch your alcohol, caffeine and nicotine intake in the evening, get into a regular bedtime routine, exercise during the day, and if you pop awake, read or do some other quiet activity until you feel sleepy. See a doctor if symptoms persist, or if you think you saw John Junior on the grassy knoll last week. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.
