Neighbors decry proposed Cedarhurst apartment project

By HERNESTo GAlDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

The Nov. 15 Cedarhurst Board of Zoning Appeals meeting was stirred to life by a dozen residents who expressed their disdain for a 17-apartment residential development proposed for 68 Washington Ave., on the already densely trafficked street that serves as the dividing line between the villages of Cedarhurst and Lawrence.

The developer, Samuel Nahmias, of Cedarhurst, has the project listed under Maximilian Holdings. It is planned as a three-story building with a partial basement. There is expected

to be a lobby and a common room on the ground floor, along with one two-bedroom unit and 39 parking spaces. The second and third floors will each have eight two-bedroom apartments.

Current zoning on Washington Avenue allows only singlefamily houses. Nahmias is seeking a variance for a multi-family development.

Residents expressed their concerns about the project and what they predicted would be its negative impact on their quality of life. Michael Hatten, who has lived on Washington Avenue for 25 years, said he thought there was too much development in

“I do not want to live in Brooklyn south. I want to live in this village.”

Blanche Lerer, a resident for 57 years, said she was concerned

about how an increase in residential density could lengthen the emergency response time of the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department. “Your first concern should be for our safety, an emergency situation,” she told the board members. “Considering the heavy traffic where minutes count, not money.”

Lerer said that additional

parking for patrons of the stores and restaurants in the village’s business district would be a better use of the 18,876-square-foot parcel. “ The better use for this property would be expanding the parking,” she said, “allowing for the much-needed shortage of spaces for teachers, residents and shopContinued on page 16

obituary

Cedarhurst resident Joy Bernstein dies at 93

Family first was her mantra along with giving back to the community

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Joy Bernstein broke barriers, delved into her Jewish tradition and carved out a wonderful life.

Bernstein was a native Brooklynite who lived in Cedarhurst for more than 60 years. Shed died on Nov. 13 at 93.

Born Feb. 29, 1929, Joy Rosenfeld was the middle child of five. Her daughter Ronnie Gerber called her mother “beautiful and smart.” “She had a wonderful childhood,” Gerber wrote. “I was always amazed that she went to sleep away camp back in the day.”

At Brooklyn College she met Julian Bernstein, who Gerber said was “the love of her life.” Julian had come over to the Rosenfeld house and was playing cards with Joy’s brother Herbie, when he noticed a photograph of her on the piano. “The rest is history,” Gerber said, noting how times have changed. “They got married before graduating from Brooklyn College.” Wedded in 1949, Julian and Joy were married for 63 years and had three children: Susan, Ronnie and Steven.

In 1960, the family moved to Cedarhurst. Gerber said her mother made family life wonderful and was involved in the community with charitable organizations. “She was very philanthropic financially as well as giving of her own time,” Gerber said.

At the service for Joy, Steven recited the words “dignity and grace, “class and compassion, “respect and commitment,” “philanthropic and enduring” and “beautiful and loving.” “These are the words that come to mind when I

Joy was the first woman trustee at Temple Beth El in Cedarhurst. She was allowed to sit on the bema on Saturdays, another first for the Conservative Jewish synagogue.

Joy was involved with the temple’s Sisterhood and served as president. She was also active with Hadassah, a womanbased Jewish volunteer organization.

Gerber said she ran the Sisterhood’s bazaar and using Julian’s garment center connections she persuaded every manufacturer she could to donate new merchandise. “Our basement looked like a department store,” Gerber said.

“She would pre-sell the clothes before the actual bazaar took place, making great profits for the temple.”

At 50, Joy learned Hebrew and studied to be bat mitzvahed at Temple Beth El. She also used her teaching degree to work as a substitute teacher and be home with the family.

“Family was always first,” Gerber said, adding that Sunday dinners were a familial tradition that included one just before Joy died.

Mah jongg was also a huge part of Joy’s life. She played the game like it was her job. “I used to ask her, ‘If you don’t play one day, do you need a doctors note?”’ Gerber said.

When invited to a party, Joy would write a poem or song for the occasion and either recited her poetry or sang.

“Mom showed me that family comes first no matter what, as she took care of her ailing mother for years ’til the end of Grandma Lena’s life,” Steve said.

Joy Bernstein was predeceased by Julian and Susan. She is survived by daughter Ronnie Gerber and son Steven Bernstein, and grandchildren Lindsay and Daniel Gerber and Jordan and Bradley Bernstein.

What to do with vacant Cedarhurst land?

NASSAU HERALD — November 24, 2022

By HERNESTO GALDAMEZ hgaldamez@liherald.com

What’s next?, is always the question when things change. So after the Cedarhurst sewage treatment plant was decommissioned in 2016, what’s next has been a discussion that is now nearly six years old.

Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said discussions on the site have taken place with the Lawrence School District for a “couple of years.” The former plant property is 3.2 acres. It is located on a site that in total is 6.25 acres and houses the village’s Department of Public Works and assorted trucks and equipment. Previously, Weinstock said with the plant facing Peninsula Boulevard, the village was unsure how the land could be used.

There was talk that the school district wanted the land for a new middle school. Weinstock said that talk focused on a venue that would benefit the community such as a community center.

As Lawrence village’s sewage treatment plant was decommissioned at the same time, then village Trustee Uri Kaufman, who had previously served on the Lawrence School District’s Board of Education, floated the idea of a community center on Lawrence village land.

The Lawrence School District was looking to purchase the property for a community center, not a school, Weinstock said. “The interest is true,” he said. “They told us many times for many years that they would like that property from the village,” he said. “The use that they told us was a community center. Not a school, but they were very vague.” The property is at the northwest corner of Peninsula Boulevard, and adjacent to Lawrence High School.

Weinstock said he had spoken with members of the Lawrence school board inquiring about the property, which included Board of Education President Murray

WHAT TO DO with the vacant Cedarhurst sewage treatment site has remained unclear for nearly six years.

Forman. Weinstock confirmed the talks took place, however Forman denied the reports of any recent discussions on the land. “There are no active discussions,” Forman said. “They were the most preliminary of exploratory of discussions.”

Cedarhurst village officials said they were open to hearing from potential developers on what ideas they may have had on the use of the property. “Quite honestly, we didn’t have a use in mind,” Weinstock said. “We wanted to put out a request of proposals where we asked developers to propose both a use and price.”

Botley and Dash teach Primary students coding Using user-friendly robots Botley and Dash, students at the Lawrence Primary School learned creative problem-solving, computational skills and how to code.

Through a partnership with Peninsula Public Library, children’s librarian Pat Murphy brought in an assortment of robots to the school in Inwood.

“During our STEAM lessons, our third grade students had the opportunity to practice their coding skills by working together to code and program the robots, set up mazes, and send the robots spinning across the tables,” Tracy Boerum, Lawrence Primary School Makerspace and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, math) teacher said in a news release. “These types of fun and engaging activities, many of which are made possible through our partnership with Peninsula Library, are what stimulate our students, enriching the learning experience.”

The students saw their virtual coding transform into tangible learning experiences in real-time as Botley and Dash interacted with and responded to their surroundings based on the students’ coding.

“Introducing our young learners to STEAM early on promotes their academic growth,” Kristen McLoughlin, principal of Lawrence Primary School, stated

In 2009, Cedarhurst and Lawrence and Nassau agreed to a plan that now has the sewage generated by the villages sent to a pumping station in Inwood then to the Bay Park Sewage Treatment in East Rockaway.

Cedarhurst and Lawrence applied for loans from New York State’s Environmental Facility Corp. to reimburse the county for the work required to divert the sewage from their plants to Bay Park. The county took ownership of both plants in January 2012. Then in October of 2015 the switch was flipped and the sewage began heading to East Rockaway.

The aprons were hung up for the last time at Lawrence Diner on 267 Burnside Ave. as the longtime Five Towns fixture closed its doors on Nov. 6.

Many who patronized the diner expressed their reactions to the closing on Facebook as well as questioning what will come next.

Valerie Hooper wrote the closing as an “end of an era” for the area as the diner had that unique look that brought you back in time. “I don’t know what’s going to happen next,” said Maria Larocca Artusa. Paul Giordonello called the diner a “Five Towns landmark.”

Sandy Kontaratos helped run the diner with her mother, Valerie, when her father, Petros, died 14 years. Her parents purchased the diner in 1986. When Sandy’s mother died, she kept the diner open until she sold the property recently.

Originally, the diner was on the

opposite side of Burnside Avenue at the corner of Rockaway Turnpike in Lawrence. More than 70 years ago, the diner moved across the street to 267 Burnside Ave., also in Lawrence.

After the news broke that the L aw re n c e D i n e r w a s cl o s i n g , rumors began to swirl that the Sherwood Diner, another longtime Five Towns eatery, would close.

Sherwood owner George Hadjizacharia confirmed that his diner was not going anywhere. In a phone call with Hadjizacharia, he denied the rumors that spread around the community and on social media. “I saw it on the internet,” he said. “I don’t know who put it, but it’s a lie.”

The nearly 70-year-old diner on Rockaway Turnpike underwent an expansive renovation in 2014. The name of the Sherwood Diner made an appearance in the 1990 movie “Goodfellas.” However, the physical scenes were filmed at the Clinton Diner in Maspeth, Queens.

Jeff Castellon-Bojorge, who played a lead role as the baker, acknowledges the difficulties of the show, but agrees that it was an enjoyable experience. “It was Sondheim. It was stressful. It was never my first choice for a show,” he said. “I wish I could find things to complain about more. I loved every second of it.” Despite the minor struggles that came with the performance, Castellon-Bojorge evidently enjoyed his time in “Into The Woods.”

Skylar Kampton, a flutist, learned a lot from her experiences in the pit orchestra. “If there is anything this musical has taught me, it’s that focus is key to a great performance,” she said. “The music was definitely challenging Havre because of the complexity of the show, but with hard work and dedication, every member of the pit proved that the challenges could be overcome.”

To provide an opportunity for understudies to showcase their abilities, an additional performance date was established this year as an understudy performance. It was a valuable experience for the understudies to shine as actors and practice for when they will take on lead roles in the future.

The musical was a grand success at Hewlett High School, drawing in large audiences from across the school district communities.

ewlett High School’s hallways were filled with the music of “Into The Woods” this past weekend. With five performances throughout the week, the school was bustling with excitement for this year’s musical!

“Into The Woods”, written

by James Lapine and composed by Stephen Sondheim, is a twisted fairytale. It combines many adored characters, such as Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella, to create a memorable story with magic and mayhem. Songs like “Giants in the Sky” and “Your Fault” from Hewlett High’s rendition of the musical wowed the audience.

A team effort from the cast, iral crew, pit orchestra, teachers, faculty, and parents led to treasured memories and collaboration during the creation of “Into The Woods.”

Anastasia Inglima, who played a lead role as the baker’s wife, created long-lasting relationships with those involved in the musical during daily rehearsals.

“Every single day after school, I was not only able to do what I absolutely love, but I did it with my best friends,” she said.

“Even with the freshmen and sophomores who I didn’t know so well at first, I was able to create lasting friendships in only three months.”

There were a number of unhappy people attending last week’s meeting in Mineola of the committee in charge of creating districting maps for the Nassau County Legislature. A final decision was expected as early as this week.

GOP, Dems can’t agree on district maps As comments close, voters beg for more time to decide

By KarINa KOVaC

what the people are saying

kkovac@liherald.com

Nassau County Republicans and Democrats remained far apart when it comes to redistricting the county legislature. And as a final map is expected to be released this week — if not already — some who gathered to see drafts proposals in Mineola seemed displeased, too.

Redistricting happens once every decade, coinciding with the census, and happening at all levels of government. Battles raged earlier this year over statewide maps determining congressional districts and state officeholders. And it was no different last week when the public had a chance to speak out about the maps used to determine who will represent them in the county legislature.

It was, of course, a meeting that also included claims of “gerrymandering,” from people like SUNY Binghamton political science professor Daniel Magleby, who defined the term as districting that typically gives one political party “an unfair advantage by diluting opposition’s voting strength.”

“This is a textbook, example of what a packing gerrymander looks like,” Magleby said of the maps, comparing them to the last time the county redistricted, and what he described as an “extreme partisan gerrymander and an outlier relative to this ensemble of maps.

“Both maps — the 2013 map and the Nov. 10 Republican proposal — show patterns of systematic bias against Democratic voters in ways that underweighs their influence on elections in this county.”

Even Francis Moroney, chair of the committee in charge of reviewing the maps, agreed with Magleby.

“We all know that their proposal is blatantly illegal,” he said. “So it is not surprising that they are trying to shield the map from public view, and it made it impossible for the public to understand why they are proposing what they are proposing. We cannot ignore the fact that the severe seg-

POlITICal sCIeNCe PrOfessOr Daniel Magleby tells a Nassau County Legislature redistricting committee last week its maps from both Democrats and Republicans show clear gerrymandering. Final maps determining who will represent who at the county level are expected as early as this week. regation and discrimination in Nassau County is a result of gerrymandered maps.”

But if there was a lack of transparency on the Republican side, it wasn’t much different than what was happening on the Democratic side, said committee member Peter Bee. “They ambush you,” he said. “That’s their job. They’re trying to paint a picture that doesn’t exist. From our point of view, a Democratically controlled Assembly, a Democratically controlled Senate, to the Democratic governor enacted a law that said redistricting shall be done in a particular manner.”

The main goal, Bee explained, is “one person, one vote,” that is that “each legislator should represent roughly the same number of people.”

“I think our map has a smaller deviation in population than does the Democratic map,” Bee said. “The state law also says that you are not to deny racial or language minority groups their participation in politics. We do not think that our mapping has done so.”

But each map has its flaws, according to

civil rights lawyer Frederick Brewington, describing those problems with terms like “stacking,” “packing” and “cracking,” which he says creates an unequal balance of power.

“It’s very important for you to understand that the reason why so many people are here, there is no hope that you’re going to do the right thing,” Brewington said.

“But there is hope that we can take this to a place where they will say that you did them wrong. And as a result, we made the record for you, so you can’t say you weren’t warned.”

Brewington implored the committee to think of voters when designing the maps, while also looking inward.

“When you take a look at your own map, please, everybody, look at it in the mirror,” he said. “Look at yourself and evaluate whether or not am I, as a human being with authority and power, will hand this map over to the legislature so that they can do their dirty work?

“And if that’s your vote, shame on you.

But God bless.”

The committee was expected to finalize its maps on Monday.

Proposed redistricting maps for the Nassau County Legislature has drawn mixed reactions from some of the people it would represent.

“Possible 10,000 simulated maps using the gold standards method known as ensemble it was found to be more extremely gerrymandered in favor of Republicans that all of the maps run methodology recognized by the courts. The mapmaker then attempted to debunk the methodology by saying that it doesn’t take public comment into consideration, but neither do his maps. When asked if he believes a map would comply with the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, he said, ‘I don’t have to apply the law to this map.’”

–Arlo Fleischer, Nassau County Civil Liberties Union organizer

“Last time I spoke to this body, I asked you to redistrict by the interest of the people, not party. It seems that that has gone by the wayside.

You’re dividing communities. You’re diluting our community representation and our ability to get anything done for our community. I look to our neighbor over in South Hempstead — they’re even smaller than us, and they are three parts. That’s crazy. How you divided up Freeport? Oh my gosh, crazy. I know firsthand the difficulty of trying to get something done when you are divided up.”

That’s right, girls can play hockey, too Islanders’ elite travel program celebrates Title IX

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

I

t’s just 37 words long, but its impact has lasted 50 years and counting.

The civil rights law known as Title IX opened the doors to legal equality for women in educational institutions — including sports — and was celebrated at Garden City’s Cradle of Aviation last week when more than 100 girl ice hockey players and their parents gathered to talk about how this federal legislation afforded these girls the opportunity to play a sport that has typically been male-dominated.

They are members of the New York Islanders Girls Elite Hockey program run at the Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow — the same facility used by the cherished local NHL squad. The teams have girls ranging in ages from 8 to 19,and was started in 2016 by Alexis Moed, the general manager of the Premier Hockey Federation’s Connecticut Whale.

“It was just my feeling that things weren’t being done the best way that they could be, or the way that was the most beneficial to the players,” Moed said. “So, I took all of my experiences and what I went through, and taking everything that I didn’t have growing up, and putting it together for them in the program.”

The young players come from all over Long Island. Some started with Girls Elite Hockey, while others might have first dropped pucks in boys’ leagues before eventually finding themselves with the newer league. Either way, the consensus is clear — they like where they are, and they like having their own league.

Debbie Curry started playing with an Oyster Bay town league before joining a travel hockey team with the Long Island Sharks in New Hyde Park. But after three years playing with them, the 12-year-old goalie from Seaford was let go.

“She was so dedicated, and we were very involved,” her dad, Keith Curry said. “And then she got cut along with most of the other girls on the team.”

Moving Debbie to Girls Elite Hockey was the best thing to happen to her, said her mom, Christie.

“She always had a target (on) her for being a girl in a boy sport,” Christie said.

“Here she can be recognized and have a chance to go somewhere with hockey in the future because they’re giving the girls a chance to shine. I’ve never seen her so happy, and she can just be herself.”

Debbie wants to eventually go pro, and feels like this Islanders group gives her that chance because “they accepted me much quicker than the boys did.”

Being accepted and feeling more comfortable were common themes.

“I felt welcome on the boys’ teams I played with, but there were definitely some boys who would tell me that they were better than me because I was a girl,” said Emily Stein, a 12-year-old from Bellmore. “It’s so much better with girls because you feel more comfortable. And

“At any other organization, I could’ve been at 12U and quit because I didn’t like anyone on my team,” she said. “But because I was here, the friendships have been really good, and they’ve made me a much better player.”

Last week’s panel, moderated by Jamie Hersch of the NHL Network, presented perspectives of Title IX’s impact from women in different fields.

LIPA looks to power future with scholarships Looking for a career? Long Island Power Authority might have it for you — and the utility is putting money behind it through a new scholarship program with Nassau and Suffolk County community colleges.

The LIPA scholarship is designed to provide education and training for students from households with incomes below Long Island’s median, which is about $100,000 for a family of four.

The scholarship represents a $350,000 commitment over the next five years. It will provide 50 full scholarships for students to attend one of the community colleges and earn an associate’s degree or certificate that’ll help them pursue a career in the electric utility or clean energy sectors.

“Electricity is the clean fuel of the future,” said Thomas Falcone, LIPA’s chief executive, in a release.

In fact, Falcone points to various studies he says predicts electricity will provide more than 70 percent of New York’s energy needs by 2050 — and be entirely carbon-free.

The 50 scholarships LIPA will offer over the next five years are intended to ensure there will be an adequate, homegrown workforce to support it, the utility leader added.

Falcone was joined in the announcement by Maria Conzatti, interim president of Nassau Community College, and Edward Bonahue, president of Suffolk

Nassau CommuNity College is one of the two schools that are working with Long Island Power Authority to give scholarships to students looking to get into the electrical and power fields. LIPA predicts electricity will account for 70 percent of New York’s power needs by 2050.

What awardees get Winning a Long Island Power Authority scholarship allows students to: ■ Get money toward earning an associate degree or certificate program at either Nassau or Suffolk County community colleges.

■ Attend LIPA workforce seminars with utility executives and experts.

■ Receive job placement support for available positions at LIPA, PSEG Long Island, and other LIPA contractors and suppliers.

County Community College.

“The Long Island Power Authority’s generous scholarships will help us recruit and sustain students entering the STEM fields,” Bonahue said, “transforming our workforce and our region’s economy.”

The curriculum offered at both schools are expected to include courses relevant to the work LIPA does now — and is expected to do — to meet the clean energy goals set by New York’s Climate Act. Signed in 2019, the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act requires New York to reduce greenhouse emissions 40 percent by 2030, and no less than

85 percent by 2050 from 1990 levels. The law is designed to help guide New York toward carbon neutrality — achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Also, the courses are expected to showcase LIPA’s mission of providing clean, reliable and affordable energy to not only Long Island, but also the Rockaways.

Graduates using LIPA scholarship funds are expected to get a competitive edge when it comes time to apply for jobs at the Long Island Power Authority, along with PSE&G Long Island, which plans to hire hundreds of entry-level workers over the next five years.

The five-year program will provide annual funding for 10 full-time, two-year scholarships.

Scholarship recipients will come from low- to moderate-income students who reside in disadvantaged communities — identified by New York’s Climate Justice Working Group — planning to attend either Nassau Community College or Suffolk County Community College.

The first recipients are expected to be announced early next year. To learn more, visit LIPower.org.

and those from the other units took part in another walk that followed the path of the first march, beginning at Hewlett High School, on East Rockaway Road, proceeding along Broadway and then behind the school on Cedar Avenue, ending where they started. During both rallies, motorists honked to show their support.

At the board meeting, in the high school library, HWFA president Ric Stark and his fellow employees walked to the front of the room to address the trustees, and were welcomed with a round of applause from other attendees.

The secretarial unit, custodial/maintenance, and computer technicians are members of the United Public Service Employees Union. The teaching staff is affiliated with New York State United Teachers.

Stark, who represents 300 HWFA members, said he wanted his message to be heard. “I stand before you not just to represent our teachers, but in solidarity with those who make it possible for us to do what we do,” he said, referring to the clerical staff, custodial and maintenance workers and IT employees.

Deborah Horvath, president of the Hewlett-Woodmere secretarial union, spoke on behalf of her colleagues, asking the board to reconsider talks for a new contract. “Our importance and value cannot be minimized,” she said. “As a support staff, we execute all of the administrative duties require to run the district smoothly.”

Secretaries have been working with an expired contract since June 2020, the longest period of any union in the school district. “Under these conditions, the message is clear,” Horvath said. “It is that you

don’t appreciate us or the work we do.”

Brandon Nasierowski, a United Public Service Employees Union labor relations representative, confirmed that meetings have been scheduled with the district to discuss negotiations: Nov. 28 for the custodial and maintenance worker, Dec. 5 for the IT employees and Dec. 12 for the secretarial unit. A meeting between district officials and the HWFA is set for Dec. 19.

In the 33 years that Stark has worked in the district, there have never been four expired contracts simultaneously, he said.

“We need only look to our immediate neighbor district to see the effects,” he said, referring to the 12 years the Lawrence Teachers Association has gone without a new agreement. It is the longest current streak in the state, and Lawrence Union Free School District teachers have not received salary raises since the contract expired. Hewlett-Woodmere and Lawrence are the only two school districts in the Five Towns.

The Lawrence faculty has taken part in walks outside district schools, and gone even further to get its message across.

Lawrence Teachers Association President Rachel Kreiss, a cousin of Herald columnist Randi Kreiss, said that union members have walked with signs at trustees’ homes and businesses.

None of the seven Hewlett-Woodmere Board of Education trustees commented at the Nov. 16 meeting, other than to thank the speakers. Neither board President Debra Sheinin nor the district administration returned calls seeking comment.

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning: tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Featuring stars from Broadway hits ‘Jersey Boys,’ ‘Motown: The Musical’ and ‘A Bronx Tale,’ The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate — and in some cases entirely reimagine — the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

It’s a musical journey featuring foundational tunes from the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to ‘DooWopified’ versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith.

Washington Avenue project spurs debate pers who come from near to far that support our commercial stores.”

Cedarhurst resident Rena Saffra added, “I cannot believe we are here again to discuss another proposed project that’s too big for its property, and quite too big for the neighborhood.”

Adding an apartment development would only overload the street, Lawrence Civic Association President Jaqueline Handel said. “You can imagine the probable negative impact on the roadways,” she wrote in an email.

“Additional vehicles impacting traffic conditions, first responders, fire trucks, parents dropping off and picking up their children for school, school buses, the environment, air quality during a construction period, and other factors.”

Before the Nahmias project was proposed, a few ideas were considered for the property, including office buildings, a boutique hotel and a parking lot. “I’m always looking to increase parking,” Cedarhurst Deputy Mayor Ari Brown said. “This would’ve been great.

My (village) board was respectful, and they didn’t agree with me.” Brown is also the area’s state assemblyman.

Nahmias’s proposal was supported by the village board — but Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said the project, in its current form, is not the two-story development he initially favored.

“The one he is presenting now I really haven’t studied, and it’s in a different scope than the one I had originally looked at,” Weinstock said, adding that residential use of the Washington Avenue property “is a good use.” “I can’t comment on the scope of the project now that it’s three stories,” he said.

Brown, who is in the construction business, noted that the property has been vacant for “many years.”

Hernesto Galdamez/Herald

Rena SaffRa of Cedarhurst expressed her frustration to the appeals board about the proposal to build a 17-apartment development on densely populated Washington Avenue.

“It bothered me,” he said. “I don’t like vacancies, and I fight to get rid of them. This isn’t the best project for this property — a parking lot would be. But if it’s a choice between a shul, with things going on all day, which is a beautiful thing, I’d pick (the apartments) every day of the week.” Brown said he has built 11 syn-

agogues.

A decision on the variance will be made at a future Board of Zoning Appeals meeting. The board typically meets on the fourth Thursday of every month.

Hofstra law dedicates Abrams Fensterman Lobby For 16 years, the law firm provided money to support students at Hofstra University’s Maurice A. Deane School of Law. And now the lobby there will be named after the firm.

The dedication of the new Abrams Fensterman Lobby is part of Hofstra Law’s Vision 2020 campaign. Samuel Ferrara, executive partner at the Lake Success-based firm, was a member of the campaign’s leadership board.

“We as a firm are truly honored by this recognition from Hofstra Law,” said Howard Fensterman, the firm’s managing partner, in a release. “We are proudly committed to continuing our support of the law school and their talented and dedicated students.”

The first law school campaign was successfully completed more than 22 years ago — around the same time Abrams Fensterman was founded, and has since raised nearly $22 million, surpassing its initial goals of $12.5 million, and even its “stretch” goal of $17.5 million. The campaign was created as part of the law school’s 50th anniversary.

Funds were raised through alumni, friends, organizations, faculty and staff members. Hofstra also hosted a hall of fame and 50th anniversary celebration that supported the campaign.

Money is used to fund recruitment efforts as well as provide scholarships while expanding cutting-edge programs in areas such as legal technology. Funds

The main enTryway into the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University is now known as Abrams Fensterman Lobby after the Lake Success-based firm that has provided money and instruction at the school. Joining in the dedication were, from left, Abrams Fensterman managing partner Howard Fensterman, Hofstra Law dean Gail Prudenti, and Abrams Fensterman executive partner Robert Abrams. were also used to create new interdisciplinary programs within Hofstra’s graduate schools.

The current campaign has been underway the last four years and has

been credited with increasing support to more than 200 named scholarships and fellowships. That includes the Dean’s Legal Tech Fellowship Program for law and engineering students to work on arti-

ficial intelligence projects within the school’s research lab while adding five new legal tech courses to the curriculum.

The campaign also supported faculty scholarship and hiring, and adapted to virtual and hybrid teaching during the coronavirus pandemic with upgraded “lecture capture” technology in newly modernized classrooms with a new student lounge and public event spaces.

Attorneys from Abrams Fensterman — including more than two-dozen Hofstra Law alum — routinely serve as adjunct professors and guest speakers.

They also participate in the law school’s mentorship programs and mock interview events.

The firm was founded in 2000 and has offices in Brooklyn, White Plains, Albany and Rochester.

The Abrams Fensterman Lobby is a multifunction space where students study, collaborate, and gather for law school receptions and communityfocused events.

“We are grateful for visionaries like Howard Fensterman, and everyone at Abrams Fensterman for their investment in Hofstra Law and their commitment to mentoring, training and hiring our students,” said Gail Prudenti, dean of Hofstra Law, in a release. “Their support ensures these efforts will continue to grow far into the future.”

Woodmere

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Perfect Center Hall Colonial

T

his perfect center hall colonial is now available in desirable Old Woodmere. It features a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and living room with wood burning fireplace. Step inside and see the beautiful cozy yet spacious den with a fireplace. The basement has plenty of room with lovely, high ceilings. Oak wood floors flood the house and there is plenty of space for storage and a plethora of closets. Find the detached two-car garage along a long driveway that leads to an inviting backyard. All this comes together on a 59X117 size lot that catches the eye.

What’s the best way to clear the air?

Q. I saw an article in a magazine about how I may be able to add air and water purifiers in my office to minimize sickness and infections. Is this for real? Can air purifiers limit things like Covid, and does it pay to put in a full water purifier instead of just having a bottled-water cooler station, even in my home or in my office (for my employees)?

A. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about levels of purification and, depending on the source of the information, like an advertisement instead of research reports, the facts are unclear. I couldn’t tell anyone, definitively, what works best, or even the specifics as to why, only that there are systems that are required and units that do onte eeper have benefits for employers and homeowners, according to industry reports.

For example, it almost always comes up during the design phase of offices and retail spaces that the owner wants to put in a bottled-water cooler instead of a drinking fountain, but the plumbing code, which is a law, states that two drinking fountains or a dual unit, the high and low kind, are required to be installed. (The reason for the low drinking fountain is to avoid discrimination, along with many other regulations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into federal law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990.) A bottle station is nice to have but not required.

Water purification will be a healthy solution for your employees and family, since it removes chlorine, sediments and multiple trace minerals. There are many different types of purifiers on the market. For commercial purposes, consider a cartridge-type purifier specific to your commercial space, and for a residence, a whole-house system such as the ones from PurifiedSolutions.net, which use a seven-stage reverse-osmosis process. Just remember, these systems all require the replacement of filters, so factor in replacement costs so you aren’t surprised later.

As for the bigger question, air purification, it is a much broader and more questionable issue, since different systems filter air in different ways, and even though advertisements tout all the wonderful particulates that can be removed, virus particles aren’t necessarily one of them. Smoke from cigarettes and dust have a much larger mass, and are more easily removed with high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters than bacterial or viral-laden particles.

Even though microscopic-sized allergens can be removed, unless they are treated with either damaging light or chemical containment, just catching the allergens doesn’t necessarily get rid of them. Make sure you find out what the filtration unit will do from an independent testing source report before spending the money on one.

Recent studies do show the workplace benefits for having enhanced ventilation and filtration. Some 90 percent of maintenance costs are for keeping people productive at work, increasing profits by reducing infection, sickness and missed days by employees.

Choose systems wisely and it will benefit you. Good luck!

ike most people, I don’t like Trump. I’ve disdained him ever since then-developer Donald demanded drastic concessions at my beloved Jones Beach State Park so he could build a catering hall at the main mall to make more big bucks. He revealed an unappealing, obnoxious acquisitiveness.

It was all about his deal, with a disregard for the good and welfare of generations of us lesser mortals.

Worse, he wanted residents and state officials to believe he was doing us all JOHN a favor, but his was O’CONNELL mendacity obvious. It took Superstorm Sandy to sweep away his avaricious plan and his oily conceit.

And yet I voted for him in 2016. His promises, the possibility of gaining originalist Supreme Court nominees and his declared support of conservative causes were consistent with my social, cultural and political preferences. We Trump voters realized it would take an arrogant bully to barge through the rock-solid bureaucracy that Washington had become. He’d be our bully, as it were.

And besides, as insufferable as I found

I

Trump’s personality, I had absolutely zero doubt about how duplicitous and deceitful Hillary Clinton was. Trump was openly, shamelessly vain. Clinton was a backstabbing, secretive, supercilious, lying, characterless cypher. I could trust him to act to benefit my country as long as it also served himself. I couldn’t trust her (and her malign cabal) with anything, least of all my country. And more important, I opposed all of the national policies she embraced.

Now he’s running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. I wish it were not so. Trump is a minor-league version of literature’s classic tragic figure: a man who — while accomplishing great things — destroys himself with his own hubris.

If Trump gets the GOP nomination (and I think that’s a big if), whom the Democrats choose will be critical for the country. Obviously it shouldn’t be President Biden. If they pick a far-left version of Trump, someone like California Gov. Gavin Newsom or Biden’s useless transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, most voters, sick of liberal Democrats’ failed leadership, will gag violently and go for Trump. (Even if, again, he can’t win the popular vote, he could prevail in the Electoral College.) Can you imagine a Butti-

T

gieg-Ilhan Omar ticket vs. Trump-Kristi Noem or Trump-Nikki Haley or TrumpJoni Ernst or Trump-Winsome EarleSears? Any of those GOP teams would destroy Buttigieg-Omar.

I mean, really, look at how unappealing the Democrats’ presidential and vice-presidential bench is: Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff, AOC, Stacey Abrams, John Fetterman, Cory Booker, Hillary, Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand (New York’s invisible senator), Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Bill de Blasio and others who are so light they defy gravity. Puhleeze! How about the quintessentially Democratic bicoastal, affirmative-equity pairing, Harris-Hochul?

Non-radical Americans, i.e., almost all of us, want someone smart, articulate and tough who’ll try to keep us out of wars, reduce inflation, faithfully and fairly execute the laws, defend the Constitution, support the police, keep taxes as low as possible, respect and care for our veterans, spend prudently, regulate only when required, maintain a strong national defense, trade well but with a sharp eye on national security, curb the domestic abuses of the so-called intelligence community, and put a hard stop on our dangerously wide-open southern border.

rump is a minorleague version of literature’s classic tragic figure.

Someone who salutes America’s greatness. That definitely won’t be the Democrats’ platform in 2024. It certainly will be the GOP’s agenda, and Trump would sell it. He’s usually good at selling things (his Jones Beach fiasco notwithstanding). I mean, he sold the Abraham Accords, a peace treaty among Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, for heaven’s sake.

We will be voting again in 24 months (unless I missed something and early voting starts next week). Actually, the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary are in January 2024. No one knows what will happen in the world between now and then. Will Biden finish his term?

Will Kamala visit the wizard in Oz and get what she needs? How disastrous will Trump’s self-inflicted stumbles on the campaign trail be? Will better, brighter lights shine in either party?

For newsies like me, it will be a fascinating and important two years. I hope everyone, young folks particularly, find serious, un-opinionated journalism and read and think critically about all the politics. We must use these two years to brush up on our civics studies and see how America is supposed to work. Then learn how it really works, and vote to try to make it better than that.

Flying the not-so-friendly skies

wrote to Pete Buttigieg this week. I thought that the head of the U.S. Department of Transportation should know what’s up.

Last week, Secretary Buttigieg announced some $600 million in fines against the airlines for bad behavior during the continuing pandemic.

It’s a start.

Apparently, the airlines took billions of bailout dollars, and failed to pass on the goodwill or the big bucks to their customers. In fact, they canceled or delayed oodles of flights and didn’t RANDI refund the fees to KREISS passengers. Sometimes — and this took chutzpah — they rebooked folks on other flights without finding out whether those new bookings were good for the travelers.

I hate to pick on JetBlue, but I must, because that’s the only airline I’ve flown recently.

But let’s back up the plane. My bias is that my airline experience began when flying was a special treat. When we went

on our wedding trip in 1968, we flew Eastern Airlines to Bermuda. I wore a matching coat and dress, white gloves, high heels and a hat. The “stewardesses” wore perky outfits and heels and little chapeaus, and they were all super-attractive and into providing excellent service to the customers.

Seen through today’s lens, it was sexist and white and stiffly formal. We enjoyed tasty little meals served on individual trays, even in coach, and the crew happily did all the heavy lifting. We have fallen out of the sky, in terms of standards for passengers and crew.

Two weeks ago, I flew JetBlue back and forth from New York to Florida. While I was waiting for my flight, an announcer at the gate said that the flight before mine, on the same route, would be turbulent, passengers should expect to stay seated, and there would be no bathroom breaks. This is bad, I thought. I’m about to get on this flying tube to ride 1,500 miles at 600 mph at 36,000 feet into a hurricane. I nearly bolted, but I talked myself down.

Turns out, we were on time, and there were no violent outbursts by passengers or inappropriate behavior by crew members.

O

But that’s a low bar, right? The crews are nice enough, which isn’t nice enough.

No crew member offers a hand to help place a suitcase in the overhead bin. Then they try to sell you stuff. You get your drink when the wagon rolls by, and a dismal choice of snacks. Heaven help us, the Terra Blue potato chips, basically the most compelling reason to fly JetBlue, are gone.

Supply chain issues? The airlines got a gazillion dollars from the government.

Open a damn potato chip factory!

My real and serious issue is with the JetBlue website and its reservation process.

In recent months, the website has been buggy. The fees for “extras,” like being able to bring a carry-on in “basic blue,” are excessive.

When I needed to change my flight on the return, it took two hours online to book the change and pay for a seat. Then I got a message that I had the flight but no seat. I tried to call. It was a 90-minute wait to speak to a person, and I was informed that booking or changing or canceling a flight on the phone with a human being would cost me $25.

ne slight after another led me to drop a line to Secretary Buttigieg.

That’s when I decided to write to Buttigieg.

First, no customer should have to wait 90 minutes to speak to an agent. If they can’t run the airline better than that, with all the money they got from us, they should shut down and turn the planes into affordable housing.

Second, how dare they charge $25 to speak to someone to book a flight? I know many people, especially older folks, who don’t use computers. They don’t know how to book a flight online. They need to talk to a real person, and they can’t wait 90 minutes on the phone. This is unfair to fliers who don’t have the necessary technology skills. Why should they be penalized with a $25 fee for what should be a basic service to a paying customer?

Years ago, I wrote to JetBlue in the name of my dog, requesting frequent flier points for her even though she traveled under the seat. They had a sense of humor. They said they couldn’t offer points, but they did give Zoe and me a free flight. Just like that. Goodwill.

JetBlue needs to drop the $25 phone fee, hire enough agents to reduce the phone wait time, and please, please, bring back the Terra Blues.

50 years of a better world thanks to Title IX

H

e’s a man you’ve likely never heard of. The son of an Indiana State University basketball coach who excelled in sports himself — primarily as a boxer and a collegiate baseball player — Birch Bayh was sworn in as a U.S. senator from his home state on Jan. 3, 1963.

Bayh spent 18 years in that office, becoming the only non-Founding Father to author two amendments to the U.S. Constitution: the 25th Amendment, handling presidential succession, and the 26th, which lowered the federal voting age to 18.

But it was his days playing sports that occupied the senator’s mind. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 tackled all kinds of discrimination when it came to employment and public accommodation, it bothered Bayh that the bill failed to address sex discrimination at schools.

He set out to change that, crafting the 37 words that would make up what we now know as Title IX: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

While we might see Title IX today as a law focused on sports, what Bayh and his House counterpart, U.S. Rep. Edith Green, pushed through Congress did more than that. No more could schools legally favor one gender over another in any respect, including pay and employment opportunities. If it was good enough for a man, it was good enough for a woman.

But yes, some of the most visible impacts came in the world of sports,

changing what was once a male-dominated enterprise into something that could be enjoyed by anyone. Like Elizabeth Serra, who just finished her first season with the Woodland Middle School football team in East Meadow.

Elizabeth scored 16 points as a kicker, and even broke a tie to give Woodland a final win over the Seaford Vikings. Yet being the only girl on the team didn’t faze her a bit.

“I was a little bit nervous, but then I realized what I really wanted to do,” the 13-year-old said. “I just really wanted to play football. So it didn’t really bother me that much.”

Even a few years ago, a girl kicking field goals for a football team was considered a novelty. Today it’s just another day on the gridiron. Elizabeth is far from alone.

Before Title IX, just 300,000 girls took part in high school sports, according to a report last summer by NPR. Today that number is 3.5 million. And while Title IX focuses on schools, it has a much wider reach.

Like with the New York Islanders Girls Elite Hockey program, started in 2016 by Alexis Moed, the general manager of the Connecticut Whale, a team in the womenfocused professional Premier Hockey Federation. Working with the NHL’s Islanders, the league is filled with girls ages 8 to 19, all playing on the same ice at the Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow as the four-time Stanley Cup champions.

The league has become a second home for Debbie Curry, a 12-year-old from Seaford, who started her hockey career on boys’ teams.

letters Thanks to all who uplift and help others To the Editor: In this season of hope and gratitude, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all Long Islanders who give of themselves to help others here in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and beyond.

Nearly every day, Red Cross volunteers are at the scene of fires, floods and other disasters that occur all too regularly on Long Island, providing urgent assistance to those coping with loss and uncertainty. In addition to responding to local emergencies, this past year, many of my colleagues traveled far from home to offer a helping hand following wildfires in California, tornadoes and flash floods in Kentucky and, most recently, Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in Florida.

Our volunteers also work to prevent future disasters by installing free smoke alarms, providing fire

“She always had a target (on) her for being a girl in a boy sport,” Debbie’s mother, Christie, said. “Here she can be recognized and have a chance to go somewhere with hockey in the future, because they’re giving the girls a chance to shine.

“I’ve never seen her so happy, and she can just be herself.”

Title IX has helped girls come a long way, but the fight is far from over. Many schools still don’t know how to properly enforce Title IX compliance, while others have chosen to cut programs rather than expand them to include everyone. Retaliation runs rampant, and the U.S. Department of Education believes there are more areas of improvement needed, including the end of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics.

Birch Bayh died in 2019, at age 91. But he lived long enough to see the impact his 37 simple words had on the lives of millions. An impact that literally brought him to tears.

Kelly Krauskopf is an assistant general manager of the Indiana Pacers. But in 2000, she made her mark helping to bring the Indiana Fever into existence in the WNBA. They sold out their first game with 16,000 people filling the arena, and Krauskopf invited Bayh to join her on the hardwood before the tipoff.

“I said to him, ‘Look at this place. Can you believe this?’” she told the Indianapolis Star. “‘This would never have happened had it not been for you.’

“He looks at me and he has these big tears in his eyes. And he said he had no idea (Title IX) would have this kind of impact. It was just one of the coolest moments.”

assau County continues to hold Big Pharma accountable in the courts for the wave of destruction that the pharmaceutical companies’ highly addictive opioid drugs unleashed on families and children across the country, and right here in our own backyards.

On Nov. 7, the county took the first legislative step toward approving a $68.25 million settlement with Actavis LLC and Actavis Pharma Inc., Watson Laboratories Inc., Anda Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries DeLia Ltd., and Teva DeriGGi-wHitton Pharmaceuticals USA. Once this settlement is approved by the full Legislature and County Executive Bruce Blakeman — which I anticipate will occur this month — it will supplement the $70.4 million the county has already received through various Big Pharma settlements.

Drawing from the funds now at the county’s disposal, Blakeman in mid-September announced plans to distribute $15 million per year for the next four years to agencies that offer addiction prevention, treatment or recovery services. Approxi-

mately $2.4 million per year was immediately earmarked, with the lion’s share going to Nassau University Medical Center. The remaining $12.6 million per year will be awarded to agencies that respond to a Request for Expressions of Interest that closed on Monday.

Above and beyond Blakeman’s announced plans, there is still approximately $10.4 million that has not been designated. The Teva Pharmaceutical settlement will add significantly to that sum, as will the proceeds of future settlements as additional pharmaceutical companies are held responsible for their gross negligence and complicity in this ongoing public health crisis.

While I have consistently expressed my frustration with the slow pace of allocating these funds, this influx of new resources gives us a golden opportunity to proactively plan for how we can get life-saving resources where they need to be as expeditiously as possible. My frustration is amplified by my concern for all our friends, loved ones and neighbors who are suffering at this very moment.

I’m a mother of three daughters who are now young adults, and the opioid drug crisis remains one of my greatest fears. We have had countless conversa-

The life-changing work our volunteers carry out day in and day out would not be possible without our financial donors and our civic-minded partners. I want to recognize them as well for their generosity and community spirit.

Finally, I want to give special thanks to our military heroes, who sacrifice so much, and to our first responders, who work to ensure our safety and well-being.

As we enter this holiday season, let’s give special thanks to all those who make our communities stronger and safer all year long.

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!

Shop local this weekend To the Editor: In these difficult economic times, as a result of inflation, it is especially important to patronize your neighborhood

tions as a family to instill vigilance as they navigate the world. As parents, we do so motivated by awareness of the stark reality that addiction is an indiscriminate killer — that there is no race, creed, religion, sex or economic background that substance abuse does not impact.

In Glen Cove, I have grown close to a group of women who have established a local chapter of Families Anonymous, an organization that gives people navigating the trauma of living with a loved one suffering from addiction a safe space to meet and share their experiences, strength and hope with one another. I have introduced friends to Families Anonymous, and the warmth, support and generosity of spirit they received was truly remarkable, and life-affirming.

Several members of the organization came to the Legislature on Oct. 24 and courageously shared their stories. They have seen their children arrested and sent to prison, and fought with insurance companies to secure long-term treatment upon their release. Several have seen their loved ones come through the tempest one day at a time and achieve longterm, sustainable sobriety. Sadly, far too many have endured the unthinkable trag-

businesses. Do it not only on annual Small Business Saturday, Nov. 26, but every day of the year.

I don’t mind occasionally paying a little more to help our local stores survive.

The employees go out of their way to help find what I need. Customer service is their motto.

Independent mom-and-pop stores don’t have bulk-buying purchasing power that Amazon or large national chain stores have. The owners can’t negotiate lower prices from suppliers.

They’re at the mercy of those suppliers, especially third-party brokers, who control the prices they have to pay for merchandise. That’s why they sometimes charge a little more. But it’s worth the price to avoid the crowds and long lines at larger stores in exchange for the convenience and friendly service your neighborhood store offers.

Remember, these people are our neighbors. They work long hours, pay taxes and keep as many employed as possible.

Many maintain the tradition of offering job opportunities to students during the holidays and over the summer.

Customers also patronize other commercial establishments on the block.

Foot traffic is essential for the survival of any neighborhood commercial district. If we don’t patronize our local stores and restaurants to shop and eat,

What they shared offers some important insights into our next steps. With the funds from our opioid lawsuit settlements, Nassau County would be wise to look closely at supporting organizations that provide drug rehabilitation programs with longer terms of stay beyond the customary 28-day term; dual-diagnosis approaches that get to the complicated and often intertwined root causes of the disease; and aggressive early-intervention strategies.

It is also crucial to keep talking openly about addiction, so we can continue chipping away at the stigmas that can hinder people from seeking the help they need.

Addiction is a public health crisis, not a moral failing.

Thanks to its advocacy and willingness to confront Big Pharma in the courts, Nassau County has created tremendous opportunities for progress.

Armed with these resources and more on the way, it is more important than ever for us to work together as parents and leaders to act on decisions that will make a significant, lifesaving impact on the trajectory of the opioid addiction crisis.

Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, of Glen Cove, a Nassau County legislator representing the 11th District, is the ranking member of the legislature’s Committee on Health & Social Services.
