Steinmetz leads Maccabees By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

A lifelong Woodmere resident who is the son and grandson of coaches and played basketball at Yeshiva University now leads his alma mater men’s team — a squad with a No. 2 ranking in Division III and a 40-game winning streak — the secondlongest in men’s D-3 history. Elliot Steinmetz, 41, a real estate lawyer with his own firm — Rosenberg & Stein-

metz PC — and his Maccabees have become the talk of the sports world, from articles in local newspapers to an ESPN Magazine story to a rundown in the Nov. 10 Axios email sports report, and much chatter on social media. After losing the first game of the 2019-20 season, Yeshiva went on a tear, winning its next 27 games and two NCAA playoffs games, making it to the D-3 Sweet Sixteen before the coronavirus pandemic

Over the past 10 years, Dr. Dina Anzalone, the principal of Ogden Elementary School in South Valley Stream, has, by all accounts, turned the building into a loving community, and has maintained its family feel, despite the obstacles brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. When Anzalone was offered the job a decade ago, she was hesitant, because, by most accounts at the time, parents were unhappy and staff morale was low due to the school’s lack of a community environment. “I was thinking, what did I get myself into?” Anzalone recalled. Since then, she has focused on listening, and building relationships to turn the school community into what many Ogden

staff, kids and parents would call a family. “This building is such a happy place from the minute you walk in the door,” Anzalone said, “and that’s not something that happened overnight.” Working closely with parents has been a large part of rejuvenating the school’s reputation over the years. “If you can’t build trusting relationships with people,” Anzalone said, “you can’t make anything happen.” Ogden has maintained a sense of community through the height of the pandemic and social distancing. Over the p a s t t wo ye a r s , school officials were challenged to think outside the box in order to maintain a sense of normalcy, with a goal of continuing to host programs and events that students could enjoy.

Potential H-W cost-cutting ideas to be studied lmargaria@liherald.com

The Woodmere Education Center auditorium was unusually filled with parents and students for the Nov. 10 Hewlett-Woodmere Board of Education work meeting after rumors circulated throughout the school community about cost-cutting measures that included eliminating the 10-period high school day and threaten elective courses such as the arts. At the Oct. 20 board meeting, school officials and trustees discussed ideas to cut district costs as enrollment has dropped the past 10 years. The board said that no definite decisions have been made, as Superintendent Dr. Ralph Marino Jr. must further research options. Board members has clarified that they would not even consider cutting arts courses. “I don’t know how that message ever got through to anybody,” Board President Debra Sheinin said, “Actually, I do know for a fact, that at that presentation I said I was an art teacher, and I would never let that happen, but I don’t know how that message ever became that the board was cutting the arts.” Trustees aimed to make it clear that they have the student’s best interest in mind and Marino will continue to prioritize education. Hewlett High School has 63 under-enrolled classes, which, after further research, might be consolidated into fewer, larger capacity sections, but not cut. A decision about these course reworkings will not be made until Marino creates a task force. As of press time, no details about Marino’s task force have been released. The same task force will research the cost sav-

ings of the Princeton Plan, which would move all second and third grade classes to one school and fourth and fifth grades to another. Currently, there are two elementary schools — Hewlett and Ogden — that houses second through fifth grade. “I feel better after this meeting versus last meeting,” district resident Michelle Morgan said, “just because I think that they’re looking to get the information first before they go and do. I think that was what the scary part was when it was brought to us, that it sounded like it was just going to happen.” Morgan recognized that board members are also district parents. “I know a lot of them, I know that they ask questions and I know that they care about what happens to the district,” she said. Board members encouraged parents to contact them with questions and concerns over Facebook, by phone or text. After the rumor scare, many parents asked the board to keep them posted about meeting discussions and research. Sheinin reminded parents that anyone can attend Board of Education meetings and that meeting minutes and other information is posted on the district’s website. Syreeta Jackson, district resident, wants full transparency of any ideas or decisions made by Marino, including multiple budget-cut suggestions with relative costs and cost savings, detailed with where and when those numbers were pulled from. “My major concern would be that we get clear and concise answers as to how they plan to make the change and what are the other options,” Jackson said. “I don’t want to see the community suffer and be upset over decisions that they just don’t agree with.”

5T Center celebrates its successes, the future By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

An institution that has roots in community service and education through previous iterations dating back to 1907, held its 52nd annual meeting on Nov. 10 to celebrate the past year’s successes and plans for moving forward. The Five Towns Community Center at 270 Lawrence Ave. in Lawrence came into existence after a merger between the Five Towns Community House Inc. and Economic Opportunity Council for the Five Towns Inc., in 1969. The new organization became a being multi-service anti-poverty agency. “We want to express our appreciation and a warm thank you to all individuals who are able to donate their time to this agency and have volunteered in various capacities,” said FTCC treasurer Barbara Gray as she ran down the Community Center’s financials. The federal government, the state and Nassau County are the center’s primary fiscal supporters. Margaret Olivia Slocum Sage, the window of financier Russell Sage, made a contribution of 5.7 acres and an endowment fund in 1907 to establish the Margaret Sage Industrial School. Her largess was inspired by Silvie Lord who was married to Daniel Lord, a prominent New York City lawyer. Silvie served as the school’s first president. “We’ve had some challenges but we’ve also had a lot of successes,” said Executive Director K. Brent Hill, who has been on the job for two years now. “The most important resource is our staff,” Hill added, noting a heating ventilation air conditioning system is being installed through the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery created after Hurricane Sandy. The Sage School became the Nassau Industrial Arts Trade School and was a training center for the growing

Cooking, masonry, sewing, woodworking and other classes offered an introduction to building trades and needed skills. A tradition that has continued. Sasha Young, who runs Gammy’s Pantry that distributes free food and

other items to the community, noted the revitalization of the youth-oriented Police Activity League (formerly the Police Athletic League) that has more than 150 participants in activities such as arts and crafts, basketball, football, karate, soccer and tennis. Cheerleading and volleyball are starting soon. “We look forward to a continuation of all of these programs through next year,” she said, noting the police advocacy group with 15 young people that meets monthly with the 4th Precinct and focuses on community engagement, positive police interaction and post-college employment opportunities. Young said that more than 3,500 South Shore families are registered with the pantry through Long Island Cares; families come weekly for necessities. There also will be Thanksgiving events on Nov. 18 and Nov. 23. An after-school program Young oversees has more than 200 children from Lawrence schools, the Franklin Early Childhood Center and Hewlett and Ogden elementary schools. A middle school program run by Nerthi Sanchez will include STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) programs. “Our particular Head Start program promotes the school readiness of preschool aged children from low income families, this includes social skills, emotional wellbeing, language and literacy skills and mathematics and science concepts,” said Head Start Program Director Gina Marie Damatos, who has taught children for 30 years. Gwynn Campbell, the center’s board president, placed the past 20 months in perspective. We have to be very, very thankful for the positions we are in, we’ve lost a lot of people, we know a lot of people who are not in the best conditions right now and we have to take our time to love our families and the people we are close to,” she said. “We have encountered so many different obstacles and we just have to maintain and be strong.”

American Legion Post 339 marks Veterans Day

November 18, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

By LISA MARGARIA Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park, named for Cedarhurst’s longtime mayor who was a military veteran, was the site of the annual Lawrence-Cedarhurst American Legion Post 339 Veterans Day ceremony that commemorates all military veterans. Veterans Day was once called Armistice Day, a day marking of the end of World War I in 1918 at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Post 339 Commander Syd Mandelbaum directed the ceremony, guiding the crowd to stand and face the American flag as Sergeant of Arms and Korean War veteran Dominick Crici led the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by sisters Alexis and Alexandra Acosta, Lawrence High School juniors, who sang the Star-Spangled Banner. Another Korean War veteran, Harry Sidor, and Fred Zeilberger, a Holocaust survivor and a Korean war vet, spotlighted for their service by Mandelbaum. Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock

initiated a collective moment of silence. “Today is a day when we honor our nations veterans, it’s not a day of mourning, it’s a day of celebration and honor and we’ve gathered here today for that purpose,” Weinstock said, “but we would be remised if we didn’t take a moment to remember those veterans of our armed forces who’ve fallen in duty, who have taken the ultimate sacrifice for this country.” Post 339 Vice Commander Al Landi read the names of the 2021 veteran honorees, for which the ceremony honored in their memory. Bricks for Nicholas Fabrizio, U.S. Army; Jack Leff, U.S. Army Korean War; Antonio Panzarella, U.S. Army; Dr. George Elkowitz, U.S. Army; and Paul Glasgow, U.S. Army World War II, will be placed into the grounds of the park. Both Mandelbaum and Landi recognized Parise, who was also a post member “I just want to say something about Andy Parise,” Landi said, “This event, here today, was started by him and it’s great to see everybody here today, this is a big event.” Rabbi Benjamin Samson, an Air Force chaplain, and Decan Dan Otten of the St.

COCKTAIL RECEPTION AND BOOK SIGNING WITH THE ARTISTS MEET THE ARTISTS! Jeffrey Bessen/Herald

Saturday,

The Brandeis VeTerans Day Parade went up Frost Lane to Central and Washington avenues to Broadway and back to the school.

Administrators, students and teachers from The Brandeis School in Lawrence lined up outside the Harry Laufer Educational Campus on Frost Lane for the school’s first-ever Veterans Day Parade on Nov. 11. “The Girl Shops the World” Head of School Raz Levin spoke to the students before the parade and said that Veterans Day is a tribute to the “brave men and women who protect us so we can live in peace.” Taking place an hour earlier than the traditional, ceremonial time of Veterans Day, the marchers proceeded up Frost Lane to Central Avenue and proceeded to Washington Avenue then to Broadway and back to the school.

INTRODUCING THE ARTWORK OF

HEATHER FAZZINO!

Veterans Day, originally Armistice Day is a federal holiday that honors United States military veterans. It is commemorated at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month when World War I, “the war to end all wars,” came to a halt. It was renamed Veterans Day in 1954, a change sought by major national veterans organizations. Atlantic Beach Fire Rescue, Nassau County police and, the police auxiliary also took part and Albert Hinken drove a red Volkswagen with fellow veteran Martin Schwartz and Albert's wife, Elissa at the front of the parade.

Islanders pay homage to veterans with Chair of Honor By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

The much-anticipated opening of UBS Arena will take place this Saturday night when the New York Islanders host the Calgary Flames. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, Islanders coowner Jon Ledecky hosted a dozen United States veterans for a tour of the team’s new home and also unveiled a “Chair of Honor” on the main concourse. It will remain empty to honor those that are Prisoners of War or Missing in Action and symbolizes there will always be a place for them at UBS Arena awaiting their safe return. The Chair of Honor will

also serve as a remembrance of those who have fallen in service of our country. “We want to make sure at UBS Arena that we are always remembering veterans as well as current servicemembers who serve our country with such valor, determination and patriotism,” Ledecky said. Another guest of Ledecky’s on Veterans Day was NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal, who formally announced his Big Chicken brand will make its New Yorkarea debut at the arena. O’Neal was joined by Donald Rosner, owner of Huntingtonbased Blue Line Deli & Bagels, which collaborated with Big Chicken on a specialty sandwich for the arena.

By expanding Yeshiva’s recruiting landscape from local and regional to national and global, Steinmetz and his staff can comb through the basketball world for players who fit into what the Maccabees want to achieve. “I think it’s not the easiest thing to do,” Steinmetz said of finding the “right guys.” “I watch a lot of film. We watch if they have the talent to win, but I’m watching the little things, how they walk back to the bench and on the bench, to find the winning players.” Stressing W’s — for wins — over statistics, Steinmetz has reconstructed a men’s basketball program that not only typically lost, but was a doormat for most opponents. That has changed. In 2020, before the world shut down, Y.U. captured its second conference championship in three years. “He is reaching out to guys that were never thinking of going to Yeshiva University, selling them on the experience,” said star forward Gabriel Leifer, a Lawrence native who graduated from Davis Renov Stahler Yeshiva for Boys in Woodmere. The roster includes star senior guard Ryan Turell, from Los Angeles; starting junior guard Ofek Reef, from Plano, Texas; and three sophomore players from Israel: guard Adi Markovich, forward Nimrod Altit and swingman Arad Mishkal. Also on the team is Woodmere resident, DRS graduate and senior forward Alon Jakubowitz. Leifer, now a graduate student, has seen the program develop since the 2017-18 season. “He does an amazing job on recruiting,” Leifer said of Steinmetz. “He balances the egos, and his best asset is to give up his own coaching system to let us play. We have a lot of freedom and flexibility.” Skyline Conference opponents obvious-

ly have taken notice of the new lion in their basketball den. “Their system is extremely unique — nobody else plays that way,” Mount Saint Mary head coach Ryan Kadlubowski said. “Today it’s all off the dribble. They don’t do that. They pass off the ball. They actually punish you if you play fundamental good defense. This is something no one runs.”

A good start

Steinmetz’s father, Michael, and his paternal grandfather, Sheldon, were both coaches. Elliot played baseball, but basketball grabbed his attention and didn’t let go. His son, Jacob, has the baseball talent: A right-hander who throws in the 90s, he was drafted this year by the Arizona Diamondbacks, becoming the first Orthodox Jew drafted by professional baseball. Coaching was not on the horizon, either, for Steinmetz. After playing for three seasons for the Maccabees, he graduated from Y.U.’s Sy Syms School of Business in 2002, and went on to earned a law degree at St. John’s. He enjoyed helping his brother, Sean, at a basketball summer camp in 2003, and got the itch to coach. From 2005 to 2010, he

coached the boys’ varsity team at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County in Uniondale. The Hurricanes had a 104-44 record. Then, over four seasons at North Shore Hebrew Academy High School in Great Neck, Steinmetz led the Stars to a 66-14 record and their first Metropolitan Yeshiva High School Athletic League championship in 2013, and another appearance in the league finals the following year. Steinmetz’s resume includes international experience coaching the U.S. 18-and-under boys’ team to gold medals at the Australia International Games in 2010 and 2011 and gold at the 2013 Maccabiah Games in Israel. Being able to coach at his alma mater appeals to Steinmetz. “It makes it more interesting, the connection,” he said. “I love being a part of the place, for it’s exciting and positive.”

The streak, and the attention

Leifer noted the unofficial motto of the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, who won an NBArecord 72 games in the regular season, but believed that wouldn’t mean anything unless they won the NBA championship, which they did. “Like the Bulls said, ‘It

Jeffrey Bessen/Herald

YeshivA UniveRsiTY foRwARd and Lawrence native Gabriel Leifer lifted a 3-point shot in the second half of the Maccabees’ 82-58 win over St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue last Sunday. means nothing without the ring,”’ Leifer said. “Streak or no streak, if the Yeshiva University Maccabees aren’t battling for the Skyline Conference championship [and] going to the NCAA tournament, then all the statistics are meaningless.” Kadlubowski said he welcomes the attention Y.U. is attracting, saying that the talent level in D3 basketball is better than many think. He pointed to Salisbury State upending Division 1 Delaware State on Nov. 12. “Any attention is good when it’s positive,” he said. “The Skyline Conference isn’t considered an elite conference, but now you have a team getting national attention. It’s great for D-3, the Skyline Conference and it’s raising the level of play.” The streak was tested in the first half of last Sunday’s game at St. Joseph’s College in Patchogue. Yeshiva didn’t shoot well, and the Golden Eagles kept it close, and even took a 3-point lead halfway through the first 20 minutes. It was 39-33 Y.U. at the half. Then the Maccabees exploded for the first 19 points of the second half to take a 58-33 lead. “It’s definitely easier with guys who are self-motivated and here for a reason,” Steinmetz had said two days before Sunday’s 82-58 victory. “It’s good that every so often they’re reminded what losing feels like. We do certain things like run to have a winner and loser to create that feeling of staying hungry. People don’t realize that winning a college basketball game is very hard, and having some success takes work.”

from 1985 to 1987. Beginning the season with, and continuing, a winning streak might affect most coaches and teams, but Steinmetz appears to take it in stride. “Honestly, I don’t pay attention,” he said. “Funny — I knew we have the streak, but we take it one game at time. We have a maturity, and a lot of our top guys are motivated, and that makes my job a lot easier.” Mature and motivated players are key to the Maccabees’ success. Interviewed in February 2020, when the streak was about to hit 24 games, Steinmetz talked about “getting the right guys who are willing to put in the work.”

Temple Israel marks 83rd Kristallnacht anniversary By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Nearly 50 people listened to readings, poems and prayers of memorial during the one hour Temple Israel of Lawrence service held over Zoom on Nov. 9 to commemorate Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass— a name for the Nov. 9 to 10, 1938 violent Nazi attack on the Jewish people and their property in Germany and Austria. Rabbi Erik Uriarte led the annual event, which marked the 83rd anniversary of Kristallnacht, and opened with a candle lighting by Temple Israel Vice President Penny Schuster. “It’s very important that we commemorate Kristallnacht so that no one ever forgets,” she said. Schuster lit a candle in memory of the 30,000 Jews deported to Buchenwald, Dachau and Sachsenhausen, the 2,500 Jews killed or driven to suicide, the 91 Jews killed by stormtroopers, the 1,500 synagogues burnt, and the tens of thousands of Jewish shops and businesses burnt, all during Kristallnacht. Schuster, Uriarte and David Land, a former temple president, read and cantor Galina Makaveyev sang and chanted songs of prayer and remembrance. A mix of Long Island high school students — Alyssa Lipow, Joseph Kogan, Filbert Vaynshteyh, Tyler Nieber, Matthew Gershik and Anthony Makaveyev — recited “We Remember Them,” a litany of remembrance to Holocaust victims. Guest speaker, Woodmere resident Asher Matathias, 77, who was born during the Holocaust, shared his experiences, memories and words of hope, being a part

Uriarte followed with reflections of Kristallnacht based on his family history in the 1930s and 1940s. “I wish and I hope that all of us who see this injustice happen around the world speak up and act before it turns into a whirlwind of destruction, as we have seen before,” he said. “I hope that if there is any lesson that we can pull from Kristallnacht, it is that we have opportunities to speak up and act before things get so horrendous that we cannot stop the killing except by more killing.”

The amount of people, especially military veterans, appears smaller each year, however the sentiments expressed by Frank Santora, commander of the John J. Olivieri Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1582 of Inwood, were those of many. “We veterans cannot forget, we left loved ones at airports, at ship piers, we traveled to distant lands, we left comrades behind, we have memories we wish we can forget, but we cannot,” Santora said, as he, other post members and some family and friends stood at the veterans memorial at the intersection of Mott Avenue and Doughty Boulevard on Nov. 11, Veterans Day. “We have answered the call and we did the job,” he said with emphasis. “Today, because of our service and the continuing service of the best America has to offer, our young men and women in uniform all over this globe, we live in a free America. You know, we took an oath those many

years ago to defend America and its Constitution, lets continue to be true to this oath, comrades of the VFW and all veterans. Walk tall today and always remember.” Veterans Day is commemorated at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, and originally as Armistice Day marked the end of World War I. A group of veterans organization pushed for the name change to Veterans Day in 1954. Among the VFW members at the ceremony along with Santora were Miguel Martinez, a senior vice commander; Sal Scotto, a junior vice commander; post Chaplain Gerald Killane, Ron Sorrentino, a past county commander and a national aide de camp; Luke Magliaro, chief of staff for the state Department of New York VFW; and post Trustee Barry DeGroot. –Jeffrey Bessen

Kickball tournament is a hit

November 18, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

Hewlett High School was bursting with excitement for their first ever kickball tournament organized by the Student Council on Nov. 10. This long-awaited event drew students of all grades to come together to form teams to compete. A total of 11 teams were present at the games with 10 to 15 players each. Teams were encouraged to design uniforms and create unique names. A variety of clubs, organizations, and sports teams were re presented throughout the tournament, including robotics, cheerleading, boys baseball, boys soccer, girls soccer, student council and more. Two faculty teams were also present, bringing the heat to the competition. Students were enthusiastic about beating their fellow teachers and classmates in kickball and were looking forward to the challenge. Games were held outside iral on the softball and football fields, providing ample space for the festivities. A bracket was organized by Student Council members to streamline gameplay during the event, labelled with fun team names created by each group. Students promptly started matches, with wins and losses that built up to the final match. Tables were set up with food and snacks as generously provided by David Friedman, president of the Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association. Hewlett spirit wear was also available for purchase, providing the perfect activity between matches to take a quick break from the competi-

tion. The final game to determine the ultimate kickball team was a competition between the varsity football team, UBUNTU and the varsity baseball team, Got Heem. By the end of the exhilarating match, Got Heem had won as undefeated champions. They were given medals to signify their position as the winners of the tournament. Organizing schoolwide events has been difficult with the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, but the kickball tournament was an example of a successful fundraiser. After much planning, the Student Council was able to bring the event together for everyone to enjoy. Sasha Mayer, president of the Student Council Executive Board helped plan the event along with advisers Kaitlin Havre Coder and Andrew DeBernardo. Mayer regarded the event with excitement, exclaiming that “the Student Council Kickball Tournament Fundraiser was a hit! There was a great sense of community and spirit as both teachers and students participated! While teams were waiting to play, they cheered on their peers. It was a lot of fun, and we look forward to doing more events like this in the future!” Hewlett High’s Student Council looks forward to continuously building school spirit and organizing events throughout the school year after the success of the kickball tournament.

Cedarhurst nonprofit aids colon cancer battle Cedarhurst-based nonprofit Labor & Industry for Education employees took part in the Colon Cancer Coalition’s “Get your Rear in Gear” 5K Run in Manhattan’s Riverside Park on Oct. 17. The staff was inspired by Alex Simon, LIFE’s customer service manager who lost his father, Victor, to colon cancer in 2000. The death, Alex said previously, was a shock; first because his dad was only in his 60s and second because after the diagnosis, Alex learned that the disease is one of the more preventable cancers if detected early enough. “It was an awesome day!,” LIFE’s Trust Department manager Courtney Plush wrote in an email. “Our team came together to raise awareness and it was amazing! We met survivors, fighters, and just great people. What an incredible experience!” Labor & Industry For Education is a nonprofit providing a variety services to underserved communities across New York state for more 30 years. To

Ogden becomes a school community continued from front page “The main takeaway, I feel, from Ogden, is what a partnership we have between PTA and Dr. Anzalone and her staff and teachers,” said Nicole Eliopoulos, a co-president of the school’s Parent Teacher Association. “The collaboration is incredible, and we are very blessed to work with such an amazing administrator.” Anzalone worked with ideas from parents, staff and students to plan 2020 virtual events such as a Valentine’s Bake War, a Family Paint Night, a Shark Tank Invention Fair, an online Scholastic Book Fair, a Family Yoga Night and others. Last year’s non-virtual but socially distanced events included a Thanksgiving Day Parade, a Drive-By Trunk or Treat, a Holiday Electric Light Festival, which will be happening again this year, and a Winter Wonderland Skate Night. Some of the ideas came from Ogden’s third- to fifthgraders. “The students also know that their voices are heard here,” Anzalone said. The Ogden PTA has enthusiastically supported the events with money and manpower. The biggest recent fundraising event was the Fall Y’all festival on Oct. 28. From one end of the campus to the other there were attractions including inflatable slides, pedal-powered gokarts, a DJ and a live band, games of cornhole and gaga (a variant of dodgeball) and food — barbecued burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob, cotton candy, ice cream, apple cider. The outdoor event felt like a return to normal, attracted 450 or so parents, students and staff with Covid restrictions eased. Jackie Froymovich, a PTA member, has been involved in the district for 15 years. Her daughter, Claudia, a second-grader, cannot get enough of Ogden, her mother said, and wishes she could sleep there.

Courtesy Ogden Elementary School

The Ogden elemenTary School PTA fifth-grade car wash in September was among the many events the school community has held to boost camaraderie. A large part of Froymovich’s motivation to be involved in the PTA is her love for the school. She noted the family feel, and credited it to Anzalone, whom Froymovich described as “warm, loving, enriching [and] inclusive.” Ogden’s upcoming events include the Nov. 23 Thanksgiving Day Parade, for which parents will decorate their

cars as they did in 2020, and the Dec. 21 Holiday Electric Light Festival, another 2020 event. In keeping with the contemporary themes of diversity and inclusiveness, Anzalone said, “We do work hard, when we can, to accommodate the needs of all our students and to respect their differences.”

Giving back to the community in Lawrence

November 18, 2021 — NASSAU HERALD

As the aroma of popcorn wafted across a portion of the Five Towns Community Center gymnasium in Lawrence on Nov. 13, roughly 300 people came through the doors about 10 at time to choose from a variety of items at the Winter Giveaway sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America and supplemented by Gammy’s Pantry, the Association of Physicians of Pakistani Descent and Affinity Health Plan. “The benefit is giving back to the communities that really need it,” ICNA health fair coordinator Atif Ur Rehman said, explaining why the organization sponsors such giveaways. For nearly eight years ICNA has sponsored similar events at the Community Center and across Long Island and Queens. In the summer there was a Back to School supplies giveaway at the center. Beginning with entering the gym, Mariarosa Guzzardi handed adults a reusable bag and they could pick from toys, diapers, soap, washable drawing makers, assorted canned food and clothes including sweatshirts, sweatpants, winter hats, gloves, and blankets. ICNA had two tables: one with information and the other for medical screenings such as a blood pressure check. “The benefit is just to provide all the help we can to the community,” ICNA administrative outreach coordinator Shumaila Noor said, “with some people suffering from food insecurity this takes a little pressure off of them.” Mohammed Ibrahim, Noor and Ur Rehman were presented with citations from County Legislator Carrié Solages (D-Lawrence). Solages thanked the Islamic Circle of North America and said he was appreciative of all that they do. The main mission is

A. This problem gets me steamed. Among the types of heating you can use in your home, steam is the most efficient. Thirty-seven percent of all fossil fuels burned in the U.S., just for commercial purposes, are burned to create steam. Huge steam plants are hiding among other large buildings in every major city in this country, and yet, little onte eeper by little, the interest in passing steam knowledge to the next generation is dwindling, enough so that many plumbers say they don’t touch steam systems. What steams me more is that the evolving technology makes it so environmentally friendly, through the implementation of zero-emission, closed-loop boilers using only hydrogen and oxygen as the fuel source, but training to get this technology up and running is nearly nonexistent. Our education system is geared toward inflated college tuition for white-collar positions that foster the need for more foreign laborers to do manual work, and more people unable to land a job for the oversaturated white-collar job market. Industrial-arts classes have been eliminated, and even though not everybody is college-bound, the education of people to fix our cars, run our factories and install steam boilers is lacking. Most manual jobs have evolved to computerization with more sophisticated technology, yet we are not preparing people to address these professions. Steam accounts for such a high amount of our economy, from food processing to pulp and paper, chemical production, petroleum refining and energy production, that I have to wonder why we can’t do better. I had a steam system in my home and was persuaded to convert to a water system. That system has never been as efficient, as energy-saving or as uniform as the steam system was. I changed systems because the entire home was renovated — otherwise, in hindsight, steam was still the better choice. Wall-hung boilers are “tank-less,” meaning that they have a small cauldron in them that you can hold in your hand, and when a faucet is turned on, for example, the water begins to flow toward the faucet, through the tiny cauldron (much smaller than the ancient boiler’s cauldron), and instantly heats. Since the water heats in an instant, these boilers don’t require a wasteful hot-water holding tank that heats up every time the thermostat says it’s cooling, even while you’re away from the house. There are plumbers who still do steam systems, and it’s worth it for you to call them. Good luck!

Q. We are trying to decide what to do about our boiler, which is ancient. Our plumber, whom we’ve used for years, says he won’t work with our steam system. He suggested a new wall-hung boiler that he says is very efficient, but even though the boiler part is less money, the radiators will all have to come out and new piping will have to be put in, at a very high cost. What would you suggest, and why can’t we just change the boiler?

o the relief of many in the political world, the 2021 elections are behind us. Whether your candidate won or lost, our mailboxes will no longer be stuffed with attack brochures, and we can be happy that the robo calls have ended. But if you think the strategizing and mischief is over, you are mistaken. During the coming months and most of 2022, legislative bodies all over America will be participating in a process called redistricting. Every 10 years, upon the completion of the federal JERRY census, legislatures at every level KREMER begin drawing the maps that will decide who will represent you in Congress and at the state and local level for the next 10 years. The redrawing of local maps is generally ignored by the public, and the only way you find out about it is when you enter the voting booth and find that your favorite elected official no longer represents you.

Is the redistricting a fair process? Generally not. In some states, the maps are drawn under the supervision of an independent commission, and every effort is made to see that districts are balanced and no incumbent is given an unfair advantage. But, generally, partisans whose goal is to hold on to power or increase it draw the maps. That practice is known as gerrymandering, and it is intended to give one party an unfair advantage. Gerrymandering will play a major role in deciding who will control the next Congress, and possibly many future Congresses until 2030. Some states have already finished drawing their maps, and are in court defending their machinations. Others, including New York, are in the midst of the map-making process. Because the current census left our state short of the required number of voters per district, New York will lose one member of the House of Representatives in the 2023 Congress. While no one knows now what New York’s congressional districts will look

like, it’s a sure bet that our state will play a pivotal role in determining whether the Democrats maintain control of Congress — while, at the same time, a number of Republican incumbents will likely face the possibility of primary contests, and potential extinction. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I know from personal experience what redistricting can do to your political career. Back in the 1970s, the State Legislature was controlled by the Republicans. As a Democrat, I expected the worst, and those fears came true. My district, most of which was in the middle of Nassau County, running from Long Beach to East Rockaway, was combined with the Five Towns, which was represented by the late Eli Wager, a fellow Democrat. That deliberate drawing of the lines led to a bitter primary battle with a colleague and friend. Only one of us could survive a primary, and I was fortunate to win that battle, and went on to become a member of the Albany power structure as chairman of the Assembly’s Ways and Means

know from personal experience what redistricting can do to your career.

Committee. Happily, Wager went on to enjoy a successful career as a Nassau County Supreme Court justice — but we learned how nasty redistricting can be. No community is exempt from the district map-makers. Following the 2010 census, the County Legislature redrew its maps and cut the Five Towns in half. One portion of the community is now attached to the Elmont area, and the balance remains with the Long Beach area. Because map-making is kept under wraps, there isn’t much the average citizen can do about this legislative sleight of hand. There are usually public hearings before a final map is unveiled but they aren’t well publicized, and the party in power isn’t going to broadcast the new lines. Redistricting has been a dirty word for as long as I’ve been on this planet, and nothing in the years to come will make it any easier to accept. 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.

Sticks and stones — words can never harm me

ou cannot burn a book in 2021. You can burn the paper and the ink and the cardboard, but in our world of e-books, you cannot ever kill the words and ideas that an author created. That makes the news of last week’s book burning threat in Virginia both an empty gesture and a symbolic but devastating embrace of censorship. It says, we are the thought police. We will decide what your children can read. We are here to destroy the ideas we do not want them to see RANDI and hear. KREISS We have always struggled with censorship and book banning in this country, but this next step, to set fire to books we don’t approve of, is an homage to the Nazis and every authoritarian regime that tries to suppress freedom. Last week, the Spotsylvania County school board in Virginia advocated for burning certain books. According to the Free Lance-Star newspaper, in a unanimous vote, the school staff would decide which books were “objectionable.” Rabih Abuismail and Kirk Twigg, two board members, suggested burning the books

that have been removed. “I think we should throw those books in a fire,” Abuismail reportedly said. Two years ago in this space, I wrote, “We can almost hear the crisp curling of burning pages in the dangerous rhetoric coming from President Donald Trump. His people aren’t burning books yet, but it could happen. When authoritarian leaders consolidate power, they always kill ideas first.” Book burning is a cliché of dictatorial control. It didn’t begin with the Nazis, although they did it better than most, with the burning of tens of thousands of books under the leadership of the German Student Union in the 1930s. The burned books were deemed dangerous because of antiNazi ideas. Authoritarian censorship starts by discrediting legitimate news sources and reliable reporting. From ancient Alexandria to the decade-long Chinese Cultural Revolution, throughout all modern wars, to the bonfires of rare manuscripts by Isis in Mosul in 2015, ashes are all that remain of millions of irreplaceable works. Book burnings are fueled by ignorance, and fear is the accelerant. Historically, book bans foreshadow other fires to come; therefore, it is more important than

ever to stand up for intellectual freedom. Trump loyalists, proliferating in our communities, call out opposing ideologies as unpatriotic or treasonous, just as their leader targeted the press as “enemies” of America. Trump’s rants and actions triggered a fire alarm, and now the flames are rising from places like Virginia. In Texas, the governor has ordered school officials to review schoolbooks for “pornography and other obscene content.” He did not define pornography or obscenity. In my own life, books have been the oxygen, the food and light that helped me grow as a human being. When I was an eighth-grade English teacher in Hewlett in 1970, a parent on Open School Night stood up and publicly protested my teaching of “The Diary of Anne Frank” because it mentions menstruation. We discussed his concerns privately, and he eventually saw the merits of the book. That process, of goodwill and a respectful exchange of opposing ideas, seems to have given way to rancor and vitriol. A civilized society doesn’t burn books. We talk about them. My grandson is reading “The Things They Carried,” by Tim O’Brien, in sophomore English. It is brutal, violent, deeply disturbing and abso-

ot every book is appropriate for every reader, but burning them? I don’t think so.

lutely essential for an understanding of war and the legacy of trauma. Great books disturb the field. When school boards and parents and teachers disagree, I say put down the matches and begin a conversation. The more distressing question is, how do we move forward as an intellectually free democracy when a school board and the parents and the community agree to ban or burn books they deem inappropriate? That would be a dark place indeed. Over the years, many books have been banned in the U.S., for reasons ranging from sexually explicit material to homosexual material to challenging religious ideas to depictions of racism, nudity, Marxism, drugs and alcohol and Satanism. Don’t read me wrong: Not every book is appropriate for every reader, especially children; however, no book should be banned. Burning? I don’t think so. The book the Virginia school board wants to burn is “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison, perhaps the most profound and moving novel about slavery in America. How do we push back at the knownothing, anti-intellectual yahoos lighting the pyres? We read. And we talk. And we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that in our e-book world, paper books may go up in smoke, but the ideas will float in the digital clouds forever. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

Covid is still raging — get your shot ASAP

et’s stop equating the coronavirus with the flu, please. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the flu kills, on average, 36,000 people a year. Right now, not yet two years after Covid19 swept across the planet, it is still killing more than a thousand people a day in the U.S. From Nov. 7 to 13, an average of 1,128 people died in America per day. If the death toll were to continue at that rate, one year from now, another 412,000 people would have succumbed to this disease. The virus has already killed 762,000 Americans. We mustn’t forget these horrible and horrifying statistics. It seems of late that we have, however. We’re so eager to

carry on with our normal lives that we forget this disease is still raging across this country, and around the world. We’re now seeing Covid-19 cases rapidly tick up across Western Europe. A rising rate on the other side of the Atlantic has thus far been a precursor of things to come here in the U.S. This past week, we saw the infection rate rise across Long Island and New York state. As of press time, it stood at nearly 3 percent statewide. That’s lower than it was earlier in the fall, but still significantly higher than it was in June, when we saw a lull in new cases and the rate dropped to less than 1 percent. No one can force anyone to take a vaccine, but understand this: We will only overcome this pandemic through their widespread use. The stubborn reluc-

tance to be vaccinated on the part of many holdouts is jeopardizing public health. It’s as simple as that. So, we urge the unvaccinated to get a vaccine — and a flu shot — as soon as possible. And if you’re already vaccinated and coming up for your booster, get it. We understand the reluctance on the part of some parents to vaccinate their children. It’s one thing to take the shot — and accept the minimal risks — yourself. It’s another to impose those possible risks on your kids. The thing is, the risk of falling ill with the coronavirus — and potentially spreading it to vulnerable populations, including immuno-compromised children — outweighs any risks from the vaccines themselves. The bottom line: Get vaccinated, now, not later.

L.I.’s future solar users are getting a raw deal

ew York is headed in the wrong direction on solar power. The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which is charge of the state’s solar programs, is offering special funding to help homeowners offset the cost of a new fee on rooftop solar installations charged by local power companies — but it’s for upstate solar users, not Long Islanders. Isn’t the state supposed to be encouraging solar, according to the ambitious plans laid out by Andrew Cuomo, when he was governor, to drastically reduce the state’s carbon footprint? What gives? NYSERDA officials say the agency has no jurisdiction over the Long Island Power Authority’s solar power plan, and thus cannot offer a financial offset here, according to Newsday. The “transition” fee, as it’s being called, is expected to amount to $5 to $10 a month, starting in January, on solar systems installed after Jan. 1. In 2019, Cuomo signed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The state now aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent by 2050, with 100 percent zero-emission electricity production by 2040. Rooftop solar figures centrally into the state’s plans. So, why are local power companies like LIPA charging a fee on new solar installations? It’s not entirely clear. World leaders convened in recent weeks in Glasgow, Scotland, to hash out a new climate agreement that, among

other measures, seeks to reduce the release of methane gas from any number of sources and the use of coal as a major fuel source to produce electricity. The world, as the summit made clear, is racing toward potential climate disaster, and swift action is required. The clearly unfair treatment of Long Island’s future solar users stands to

potentially slow the spread of a technology that would only help New York meet its climate goals and obligations. LIPA shouldn’t impose any fee on new solar users. At the same time, it seems, NYSERDA is abandoning its obligation to Long Island electric customers. It really should step in and step up here.

opinions

recently joined five Long Island high school students for a visit to the Joseph Lloyd Manor in Lloyd Harbor, the 18th-century site where many enslaved people of African descent lived. The visit yielded a fascinating discussion with significant implications for education on Long Island. The five diverse students are part of ERASE Racism’s Student Task Force, a student-led initiative that advances racial and socioeconomic equity on issues that impact their ELAinE everyday lives. The students GRoss came from four school districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The visit was part of a series of similar events happening across the country called Teach the Truth Day of Action. What was initially so striking to me was that none of the students knew that slavery had existed on Long Island. They were surprised that they had not learned such a notable historical fact in school. The extent to which the history of actions detrimental to people of color

has been left out of history books was underscored by this year’s 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, which destroyed 35 blocks of a renowned Black community and killed as many as 300 Black people. As the History Channel stated, “The riot reflected terribly on the city and subsequently wasn’t included in history books or newspapers for decades.” A survey conducted by The Oklahoman this year found that the vast majority of Oklahomans learned about the massacre outside of school. There is a growing national debate about the extent to which school curricula should address the less-than-noble aspects of American history, especially as they relate to the experiences of people of color. On one side of the debate is New York state, whose Education Department has taken substantial steps to recognize diversity, equity and inclusion in curricula. In 2018, the state published a framework for culturally responsive curricula, on which I had been asked to comment while it was in draft form. The framework supports local districts in creating curricula that elevate historically marginalized voices, affirm diverse identities, perspectives and cultures, assure

rigor and foster independent learning. This past April, the State Education Department issued a second document, “The NYS Board of Regents Framework on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in New York’s Schools: A Call to Action.” In May, it approved a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework and Policy Statement, which requires all school districts to develop and implement diversity, equity and inclusion policies. On the other side of the issue, eight states have passed legislation — and another 20 are considering it — that directs educators to avoid teaching about the role of racism and oppression in American history. Much of the passed and proposed legislation contains vague language that allows for a student — or a parent — to state that he or she experienced “discomfort” with the discussion of race and for a teacher to be deemed guilty without much recourse. How, after all, could the teacher prove that the student did not feel discomfort? New Hampshire’s House Bill 2 explicitly forbids a teacher to state that an individual might be “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” This stands in opposi-

egislators focus on protecting students from the reality of American history.

tion to the current consensus of scientific research on how racism operates. These legislative efforts are focused on protecting students from the reality of American history, as if they could not handle the truth. But in my experience working with hundreds of Long Island high school students, they relish the opportunity to explore race and its implications for America’s past, present and future. As a white student who was with me at Joseph Lloyd Manor wrote, “Our past consists of more than just heroes . . . Not allowing us to discuss and explore ‘sensitive topics’ avoids essential conversations. Developing a safe learning environment is impossible if accurate information is restricted.” As this national debate unfolds, it is vital to hear from America’s students. Those whom I talk to aren’t looking to be protected from the truth, but rather are eager to explore it. They know that they will inherit a world in which race remains an inescapable reality. They are not looking for comfort. They are eager for a thorough understanding of diverse perspectives that will be essential to their success in the workplace. Why should education deprive them of that? Elaine Gross author is president of the civil rights organization ERASE Racism.

LETTERs An expert has issues with the East Side Access project To the Editor: The letter to the editor, “East Side Access is a year from completion” (Nov. 4-10), omitted critical facts. Since 2001, costs for the Long Island Rail Road’s East Side Access project have grown from $3.5 billion to $11.2 billion today. This does not include $4 billion more for “readiness projects” carried off line from the official project budget. The opening service date slipped from 2009 to December 2022. In our post-Covid-19 world, 60,000 new LIRR riders in December 2022 remains doubtful. Riders saving 40 minutes would depend on how long it took to exit the train, and how many blocks they walk to transfer to a subway or bus before reaching a final destination. Travel time from Jamaica to Grand Central Terminal was 27 minutes versus 20 minutes to Penn Station. The subway from Penn Station one stop to Times Square transferring to the 42nd Street Shuttle arriving in GCT is seven minutes or less. Many will continue telecommuting from home, part or full-time. There will be fewer face-to-face meetings and conferences, with increased use of teleconferences. Manhattan-based corporations continue downsizing. Others are relocating employees to suburban offices closer to home.
