Social worker writes diverse children books

By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Karina Kovac/Herald

RoSlyNE D. JoHNSoN wrote “Maya, India and the Magical Mermaid” this summer in her Oceanside High School office.

Roslyne D. Johnson, a social worker at Oceanside High School, is filling in the gaps in diversity in children’s literature, one book at a time. Making the most of her 16 years of experience at the high school, 30 years in the field and a master’s in social work from Adelphi University, Johnson has written 15 children’s books featuring names and styles of Black children, to give readers a representation of their culture.

She began writing in 2017, and her first book, “The Smart Cookie Journal,” was a faithbased journal for teenage girls in which they could express themselves and build their confidence while learning about the Bible. Johnson said that her “goal as a social worker is always to build self-esteem.”

Johnson created the Smart Cookie Academy to accompany the book with conversation.

The academy was a focus group of teenage girls that met once a month at Molloy College — now Molloy University — Continued on page 4

Keeping their eyes on the skies and the binoculars handy Retired OHS teacher, a devoted bird watcher, leads a walk on the wild side in Oceanside

By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Marshland, birds and wildlife, flora and fauna — Peter Martin, 72, is an encyclopedia of it all. A bird watcher for 55 years and an environmental science teacher at Oceanside High School for 33, Martin fills much of his retirement by leading nature walks. He led one such group in a Coastal Ecology Exploration walk on Sept. 24, along the North Shore Land Alliance and Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area, on Slice Drive, just north of Oceanside

Park.

During the exhilarating walk, more a dozen participates kept their eyes on the skies to spot local wildlife, and caught sight of such majestic marvels as the crowned night heron, as well as greater yellowlegs and common egrets. Over the course of the three-hour walk, bird watchers new and old learned a great deal about the diverse wildlife that can be seen locally — if you’re looking for it.

Martin, the group’s guide, pointed out birds, as well as plants, on what turned out to be a warm day. Although he has

been observing wildlife for decades, the enthusiasm of others is always new and exciting for him, he said, and he delights in.

“You kind of relive that through their experience, the excitement of seeing a clapper (for example), and I’m kind of amazed, how could that be?”

Martin told the Herald, but the experience is new to many. “You get kind of jaded when you’ve seen a lot of things and you get used to it. But you shouldn’t be, and that’s one way of keeping it fresh, is seeing other people’s pleasure in seeing things. You

connect with that feeling again like it’s the first time.”

As a teen, Martin was more of a fisherman, but when he was in his 20s, bird watching became his focus. Over the years he has become a naturalist of more general interest, studying clouds as well. He taught biology and

earth science at the high school until his retirement in 2005, but he doesn’t want to stop teaching about the environment, which is why he leads walks around Long Island.

Joe Bonin Jr. gets 2022 Heart of Gold Award kkovac@liherald.com

Herald Photo Archive

OCeANsIde’s JOe BONIN Jr. is the recipient of the Oceanside Kiwanis Club’s Heart of Gold Award for 2022.

Kiwanis Heart Of Gold Recipient for 2022 is Joe Bonin Jr., an Oceanside Physical Education teacher and coach for the past twenty-three years. Bonin’s love for education and sports began at Commack High School, where he played basketball and baseball. He then attended SUNY Cortland and earned the Anthony Thesori Award for his outstanding student teaching efforts.

Bonin received his master’s degree from Hofstra University, as he began his teaching career in Oceanside. In addition to teaching, Bonin owns and operates J. Paul’s Terrace Cafe. An Oceanside landmark, J. Paul’s was established by his parents Lorraine and Joe, in 1982.

They have since been able to enjoy an early retirement thanks to “Joe B., Jr”, as he is affectionately referred to by the regulars, his family, and the many loyal employees who have stepped up to run the business and carry on the J. Paul’s tradition.

Known as the neighborhood “Cheers”, J. Paul’s has hosted hundreds of fundraisers over the years to assist people in need. Bonin and his crew have organized and run charitable events for numerous athletic teams at the high school, including football, baseball, basketball, soccer, cheer, hockey and lacrosse.

In addition, they have financially supported many community organizations including the PTA’s, Kiwanis,

Oceanside Community Service, Oceanside Little League and Oceanside Youth Lacrosse to raise the funds necessary to support worthy causes such as Veteran’s needs, the fight against Opioid addiction, Lyme Disease, Breast Cancer, Juvenile Diabetes and more.

Every autumn, they host an annual golf outing to raise money for local families in need. Over the past few years, these events have raised an estimated $100,000. At School #3, Bonin has also raised over $100,000 for the American Heart Association through his annual Jump Rope for Hearts campaign. In 2018 Bonin was named Citizen of the Year by the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce for his involvement in the community.

As a teacher and coach, Bonin has become a mentor and role model to his students and players. He has frequently provided them with their first employment opportunity.

Bonin lives in Oceanside with his wife Danielle and their two children, Kylie and Joey. In his free time, he enjoys being with his family, golfing, going on vacations, to concerts and Yankee games.

Bonin and Alison Eriksen, the recipient of the Special Service Award, will both be celebrated at the 77th Anniversary Kiwanis of Oceanside Charter and Installation dinner on Oct. 13, 6:30 p.m. at 3050 Oceanside Rd. The dinner is 85 dollars per person and includes dancing, raffles and more.

Getting help on taxes and exemptions

By KYLe BeRTHOUd Special to the Herald

Getting residents help to learn more about tax exemptions, including for volunteer firefighters, ambulance workers, veterans, senior citizens and people with limited-incomes became more accessible after work by the County Legislature.

The Legislature, led by the Democratic Minority Caucus, increased the maximum income eligibility cap for individuals applying to receive senior citizens and people with limited incomes and disabilities tax exemptions to $58,400 from $37,400 earlier this year.

A series of workshops are taking this place across Nassau throughout October, including the one at Oceanside Public Library on Sept. 23, where staff from the county’s assessment department assists residents with filing for veteran, senior citizen, Cold War veteran, volunteers firefighter and ambulance worker, limited income disability and/or home improvement exemptions,.

The workshops will be conducted on weekdays through Oct. 31, at libraries across the county. All workshops take place from 1 to 2:30 p.m.

According to community services representative Randolph Yunker, the county executive’s office the workshops in conjunction with county legislators “(We came) to find out more about available exemptions,”

said Jazmine Cartwright.

“We’re gonna go and make a phone call … and get signed up immediately.”

Cartwright, along with her mother, Regina, discovered that they were eligible for the STAR program, which offers property tax exemptions to homeowners who make less than $500,000 on i n c o m e , o r, u n d e r t h e i r enhanced program, homeowners who are at least 65 years old and had an adjusted g ross income of $93,200 last year.

“I’m hoping (participating in the program) will help reduce my taxes,” said Dennis McCauley, another attendee, who said he lear ned about the event through a flyer he received in the mail. This particular workshop in Oceanside drew a total of 48 participants, and was described as a positive experience.

“It’s very good,” said Denise Petrulak who attended to receive advice. “They (the representatives) were all very nice, and helpful.”

Customer service representat ive Pe t e r Pa n z a r i n o, wh o checked in participants when they arrived, said that he rarely, if ever, saw someone who wasn’t satisfied by what they learned from the workshops. According to Peter, “Everybody leaves happy!”

Representation in children’s lit is ongoing issue ConTinued fRom fRonT page and talk about issues they faced and what upset them at school or at home. “They would bridge that together with the book to connect,” Johnson said, explaining that she used the book as a prompt for discussions. The academy lasted for a year and a half, until the college tightened its policies on allowing minors on campus — and the coronavirus pandemic began.

Still wanting to help people who needed it, Johnson came up with a new idea: to help stressed-out mothers during the early stages of the pandemic. From March to August 2020, on a Facebook page called “Storytime with Mrs. J.,” she read stories to kids online Monday through Friday at 7 p.m.

“It was interesting to get the responses from parents (saying), ‘0h my gosh, thank you so much, this has given me a chance to take a shower,’” Johnson recalled.

Some moms thanked her for the simple pleasure of spending a few minutes alone drinking a cup of tea or reading their mail. Her main mission, she said, was “to give moms a break.”

“They know that I’m a clinical social worker, I’m not a whack job, so they felt safe propping the computer or laptop up with a snack,” she said. And since the videos are all still up online, it’s a gift that keeps giving, because they are still being used not only by parents, but also by preschool and kindergarten teachers.

After the pandemic quieted down, Johnson refocused on children’s literature, which she has been passionate about since her three children, now 37, 28 and 24, were kids themselves. A child of the 1970s herself, Johnson said she grew up in a time when “there weren’t a lot of books with kids that looks like me. Fast-forward to my children, I made it a point to go out of my way to find books.”

Although there are more choices now, Johnson says that when she peruses shelves at big-name bookstores, they still lack diversity, so, she decided, “I was going to start writing my own stories, books that feature children of color, and they feature the names that children can identify with, because these are the names that they hear in their communities.”

This summer, she started what she hopes will become a collection of novels

You Can Be Anything You Want From A to Z.” loosely based on real-life events, writing a book called “Maya, India and the Magical Mermaid. Maya and India are characters loosely based on Johnson’s two daughters, but, she said, any children can relate to them. The book, an aquatic journey is about kindness and not judging others.

This summer she also wrote “Yes! You Can Be Anything You Want From A to Z,” a book that shows children the variety of career options boys and girls can have.

“There is no career specifically for one gender or another,” Johnson said. “You have to be inclusive, so that’s what we have here. If you don’t see people that look like you are doing these things, then

you’re really not going to think it’s something you can achieve.”

Besides focusing on inclusivity, the books help children learn better penmanship, follow directions, and identify colors and body parts, among other things. In addition, the stories help young readers build character and self-worth, “helping them on multiple levels,” Johnson. “Reading is what opens your mind, and if you can read, you can do anything,” is what she’d like children to know.

“I feel as though children who don’t see themselves represented in literature in the world, I think it has an impact on their self-esteem,” she said. “If you don’t

Next in the series, she is planning to write a Halloween-themed bullying-prevention story.

Fire Prevention Day moved to Sunday

By KaRina KoVaC kkovac@liherald.com

After two years in which the Oceanside Fire Department’s Fire Prevention Day could not take place because of Covid-19, residents will have to wait a little bit longer, because the original date of Oct. 2 was changed to Oct. 9 due to rainy weather.

“I feel at home in nature, and I forget that people love it as much as me,” she said. “I really like learning more and more. Sometimes these naturalists who run these things are really amazing.”

Noting the richness of the scenery in marshes, another watcher, Desiree Benn, marveled during the walk at how natural elements fit together picturesquely. “I love how the dead wood sticks out from the living grass,” she said. “Can you imagine one (bird) perched right there?

ERASE Racism welcomes Laura Harding Founder and president emeritus, Elaine Gross, departs after 21 years Equity Team in the office of the Deputy Mayor for Education in Washington, D.C. “I was doing some really incredible ERASE Racism, a leading regional work and getting ready to expand my organization that promotes racial equity portfolio in D.C.,” Harding explained. “A on Long Island, has a new face.

Harding said she wanted to take the time to get to know the group’s stakeholders — people directly impacted by its work. “I think when you are an organization like ERASE, a lot of our time is spent among professionals — the elected officials, the community-based organizations, and subject-matter experts,” she explained. “I want to be mindful that I also have access to the voices of the people who we are working for.”

Harding said she finds all of ERASE Racism’s work to be important, but the two things she’s most interested in developing are its advocacy and community education Elaine branches. “It allows us to develop and build capacity in students and regular community members to advocate for themselves and their needs,” she said, “to ensure they’re being serviced and supported in an equitable way.”

Gross said that Harding’s extensive resume made her the right choice to succeed her. “It is thrilling for me to see a new president with a breadth of experience appointed to ERASE Racism,” Gross said. “I am delighted that (she) will

be succeeding me, and that she will be setting the course for ERASE Racism going forward.”

Edward Pichardo, co-chair of the organization’s board of directors, agreed. “ERASE Racism is fortunate to have someone with her depth of skills come into the lead[???] this illustrious organization,” Pichardo stated in a press release last week.

ERASE has done tremendous work, Harding said, but a lot still needs to be accomplished. “If you look at what’s happening, certainly in New York state, on Long Island and across the nation, there clearly is still a lot of Gross work to be done,” she said. “I think there’s a place for the organization — a place to contribute to ensuring that Long Island remains a beautiful, inclusive and equitable place to live.

“I’m excited to be here,” Harding added, “and I’m excited to lead ERASE Racism’s work, and I look forward to connecting with our various communities and stakeholders to hear their thoughts, and hopefully advocate for them in a way that’s powerful.”

The Oceanside football team has encountered some pretty rude guests so far this season.

Under gloomy weather conditions, the Sailors were shut out for the second time in three home games and dropped to 0-3 on their own turf after a 28-0 loss to Syosset on Homecoming Day last Saturday.

Oceanside trailed by just a 7-0 score at halftime, but the Braves put the game away with a 14-point third quarter.

The Sailors were hoping the momentum of their 43-7 laugher at Plainview Old-Bethpage the previous week would carry over into their celebratory weekend, but instead the team failed to score in the first quarter for the third time this season before eventually falling to 1-3 at the midway point of the campaign.

Head coach Rob Blount credited the defense for keeping Oceanside in the game as long as they could, with Mike McGann and Logan Lyson leading the way with five tackles apiece and Cole Parker chipping in four.

“I thought we played pretty good defensively,” he said. “It was 7-0 going into half and then we ended up making a couple of mistakes in the second half that ballooned the score to 28-0. We’re young and we’ve got a lot of guys in new positions and I think one of the common threads that we have so far [is that] we end up self-destructing, which happens with young teams.”

Oceanside had just four possessions in the first half. The first was a three-and-out and a penalty helped stall the next one after six plays despite the Sailors moving into Braves territory. The third drive also ended in six plays and a missed field goal ended a scoring threat just before intermission.

“Our problem right now is, on the offensive side of the ball, we put together three or four or five good plays and then we commit mistakes on our own,” Blount said.

Will Cawley’s two-yard touchdown run put Syosset (2-2) on the board with about eight minutes left in the second quarter.

The Braves further deflated the home crown in the third on Kevin Hargrave’s

Junior Nicky Cairo had 14 carries for 73 yards on the day after exploding for 112 yards on 15 carries with three touchdowns against Plainview. Parker had similar success with 12 carries for 70 yards and freshman quarterback Shane Harmon completed half of his 10 passes for 40 yards.

The Sailors next visit undefeated Massapequa – the team that beat them in each of the last two county title games – before concluding the regular season against struggling Hicksville (0-4), Valley Stream Central (1-3) and Freeport (1-3).

“We just have to execute, whether it’s just finishing our blocks, getting our stops on defense or running the right routes,” Blout said. “The stuff is there. We’ve just got to continue to get better and, as coaches, do an even better job of putting them in successful situations.”

South Shore Estuary Reserve Act is updated mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

Big things are happening with regard to New York state’s plan to keep the South Shore a fun and safe place for beachgoers, kayakers, fishermen and everyone else who enjoys the vast array of marine nature on the shore.

In 1993, the State Legislature passed the Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve Act, which sought to identify the South Shore, from Long Beach to the western tip of the South Fork, as a single estuary, despite the fact that it falls under various local jurisdictions. The legislation gave the state the ability to respond to the South Shore’s environmental needs with a comprehensive plan, as opposed to local governments potentially dealing with environmental issues in different ways.

To ensure that counties and towns were not left in the dark on the state’s activities, a council was created for the estuary reserve, consisting of representatives of the New York Department of State, Nassau and Suffolk counties and numerous municipalities and conservation organizations.

Since then, the state has been able to act unilaterally on behalf of the estuary.

The program was updated in 2001, when the Legislature passed a Comprehensive Management Plan, which dedicated more than $660 million to maintaining and improving the South Shore’s water quali-

ty, its ecosystems, opportunities for public use and enjoyment, its economy, and flood resilience.

It was determined this year, however, that more action was needed to protect the estuary. Last week, officials announced that the Comprehensive Management Plan had been updated to include the reduction of nutrient pollution, the restoration of wetlands, improvements in sea grass and shellfish habitat, and increased public education on the reserve. The latter will involve expanded public relations efforts with news media to increase the reserve’s visibility, and more educational programs involving local organizations.

The goals of the updated plan are to improve the South Shore environment by enhancing the management of wild fish populations as well as invasive species, and promoting natural habitat restoration.

Stony Brook University will work with environmental organizations such as Operation SPLASH and Save the Great South Bay on efforts to preserve water quality, focusing on fighting harmful algae blooms and ensuring that towns within the reserve work with the state to limit the pollutants that enter the estuary’s water system.

Local, county, and state politicians said they were pleased with the updates to the management plan. State Parks Commissioner Erik Kulleseid had high praise.

“During this important week for those of us who love the outdoors, I commend this

plan for stewardship of Long Island’s South Shore,” he said last Friday. “The public’s ability to use, access and enjoy tributaries and shorelines is critical, and planning will ensure positive results going forward.”

Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin has focused on making residents aware of all that the South Shore ecosystem has to offer. Clavin and Town Councilman Christopher Carini recently helped open another kayak launch on the South Shore Blueway Trail, which wends it way across Nassau County’s portion of the South Shore that is accessible by kayak and canoe.

“The Long Island South Shore Estuary Reserve is home to a rich array of environmental diversity, and contributes greatly to the fabric of our township’s unique coastal nature area,” Clavin said. “The Town of

Hempstead will continue working with our partners at all levels of government to ensure our South Shore environments are safeguarded for generations.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was happy with the expansion of the state’s conservation plan, and hoped it would bear fruit for the South Shore.

“Protecting Long Island’s waterways and shorelines has never been more important as we face the growing and unprecedented effects of climate change and regular threats to water quality and ecological health,” Hochul said. “I am proud to announce this Comprehensive Management Plan for the South Shore Estuary Reserve, which is a rich and diverse ecosystem that not only provides key benefits to Long Island’s economy, recreation and tourism, but also better prepares New York for a changing climate.”

The kind of ‘funny money’ that helps … charity Recorded comedy show, Helping Thru Humor, comes to Molloy University

By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com

L

aughter is the best medicine. It can also be a great way to help raise money for charity.

Helping Thru Humor, a non-profit fundraising platform, is recording a live comedy special at Molloy University’s Madison Theatre on Saturday, Oct. 15, which will be broadcast online to help raise money for special needs charities all over the state.

This one-of-a-kind performance was the brainchild of Jason Plawner, who traces the concept’s origins back to his youth. He was a trumpet player in his high school’s competitive marching band, and later transferred that talent to a drum corps.

Pursuing such a path was a very expensive undertaking, Plawner said, which was commonly financed through grants, donations, sales and membership dues.

“It was getting so expensive to take part,” Plawner said.

“At one point, it was reaching close to $6,000 a year.”

Looking to not only raise money for one drum corps — but all of them — Plawner created Helping Thru Humor.

And instead of limiting such fundraising to just the audience that could physically show up, Plawner teamed up with Michelle Ciardulli — co-chair of the Long Island Motion Picture Arts Center and Museum, and a Molloy graduate — to assemble the charity event, and broadcast it across the state.

“I’m looking forward to putting on a wonderful show,” Plawner said, “and that all of the charities participating will come out raising more money than they ever thought possible.”

The performance will feature the brother-sister duo Derrick and Julie Tennant and comedian Bobby Collins,

Courtesy the Love Chromosome

DERRIck AND JuLIE Tennant are a brother-sister duo who travel the country to share inspirational and meaningful stories. They perform at Molloy University on Oct. 15. who will take the stage to help raise money for charities including 14 Sleeves, A Chance to Dance and The Forum School.

Collins is a renowned New York stand-up comic with 40 years of experience under his belt. He has opened for iconic entertainers like Frank Sinatra, Cher and Dolly Parton, as well as Jerry Seinfeld, Ray Romano and Chris Rock.

Collins is dedicated to the cause as one of the charities the event it supporting, Zeno Mountain Farm, is a non-

profit camp in Vermont where his daughter Madison has trekked to for more than a decade. It’s intended as a place where everyone can enjoy the camp experience, even if they live with disabilities.

Derrick and Julie Tennant, otherwise known as the Love Chromosome, combine their own inspirational stories about overcoming adversity with comedy and an inspirational message.

Julie was born with Down syndrome, which is a condition that can create cognitive disabilities, developmental delays or physical challenges caused by an extra chromosome. Julie’s grandpa used to tell her that the chromosome in question wasn’t “extra,” but instead was missing in everyone else.

It’s where the nickname comes from, “the love chromosome.”

Derrick was a gifted athlete on his way to really making a career in sports. But one night, he laid down, and didn’t wake up for three days. Doctors said he suffered from “random bleeding,” which paralyzed him after brain surgery, making him unable to move his left side.

Thanks to years of therapy, hard work, and love from his family and friends, Derrick found a way to effectively manage and live with it, reshaping his obstacles into opportunities. Together with his sister, they travel all across the country to share inspirational words of wisdom with others.

The event begins at 8 p.m., at the Madison Theatre at Molloy University, 1000 Hempstead Ave. Tickets are $45 to attend in-person, and are available online at MadisonTheatreNY.org.

Perspectives Local artists on view at Heckscher’s Biennial

By Karen Bloom eckscher Museum of Art has opened its exhibit space to Long Island’s top artists as the Long Island Biennial exhibition gets underway.

The latest edition of the juried exhibition — which features varied works from contemporary artists across Nassau and Suffolk counties — opened last week, offering a unique and exciting snapshot of what is happening artistically here on Long Island.

“The Long Island Biennial always strives to highlight the depth and breadth of contemporary artists working on Long Island,” says curator Karli Wurzelbacher. “This Biennial is one of the most inclusive the museum has presented.

Women make up over half of the 57 featured artists. They are also racially and ethnically diverse, and some of them draw upon their heritage in their work.”

More than 445 artists have participated in the exhibit WHERE since the Biennial’s opening installation in 2010. This WHEN year, the museum received a whopping 732 entries. Interest • Heckscher Museum of Art, in this showcase reflects the 2 Prime Ave., Huntington.

(631) 351-3250 or diversity and enthusiasm of the Heckscher.org local creative community.

• Now, through Jan. 22 The 95 works on view present a lively cross-section of current artistic practice, encompassing a range of media, with styles spanning abstraction to hyper-realism.

“I am especially impressed by the ways in which many of the artists engaged with the concerns of our time, from social justice, to health, to ecology,” Wurzelbacher says, “and appreciate those who brought new approaches to traditional materials and techniques.”

Artists of note include Lynbrook’s Keith Gamache, who submitted a pandemic-inspired piece.“Drawing inspiration from folk art traditions from Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs to the Modernist grid and the contemporary use of text as image, I have used Masonite pegboard as a painting surface on and off for nearly 30 years,” he explains. “Most recently, patterns and texts have merged together, resulting in my most complex pegboard paintings that combine emblem-like cell structures of the Covid-19 virus with words and phrases related to our collective experience

throughout the pandemic.”

Jason AurelioThomas, of Oyster Bay, contributed a mixed media of steel wire, plaster, plaster cloth, resin, acrylic paint piece called “And How Does That Make You Feel?” (steel wire, plaster, plaster cloth, resin, acrylic paint).

“My creative work is an attempt to evoke an inner curiosity that urges the viewer to come in close and have a sensory experience with the texture and colors,” he notes.

“The desire to explore the shadows and textures of something is so primal, sensual and very inspiring to me.”

Wantagh’s Kayla Moz is represented by her sculpture, “The One I Lost, The One I Hold.”

“As an artist, I have the luxury of processing my world through my art,” she shares. “Self-portraiture is a tool to access my inner life and document my experiences. Pregnancy has impacted every aspect of my life. Who I am and how I am perceived is developing and growing with my baby. To make artwork about pregnancy is to discover this evolving version of myself.”

As always, the exhibit experience is enhanced by related programming, featuring participating artists. Upcoming events include sessions to meet the artists in the galleries, select Sundays, through Dec. 11.

Top: Jason Aurelio Thomas is inspired by the world around him, resulting in a mixed media work.

Middle: Keith Gamache used a folk art style in his pandemic creation, ‘Covid-19 Vol. 1: Social Distancing.’

Bottom: Kayla Moz’s sculpture references her inner self.

’33 (a kabarett) Inspired by the true story of the fallen Eldorado Club in Berlin, during the rise of the Nazis, ’33 (a kabarett) speaks to the past and present as it recreates the cabaret’s final night in 1933. Performed and written

by Bremner Duthie, the darkly humorous monodrama is based directly on texts of survivors and oppressors from the 1930s, and also on texts from periods of cultural repression up to the present day. ’33 offers a hopeful and realistic insight into the struggle against censorship and repression. It speaks to the challenge of honoring the memory of the disappeared. It says we must grieve in sorrow, but we can choose to fight back with energy, humor, laughter, and life.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Home sales fall, but prices tick up

October 6, 2022 — OCEANSIDE/ISLAND PARK HERALD

Higher mortgage interest rates appear to be cutting into home sales in August across the state, but closing prices continue to rise.

Closed sales fell 11 percent year over year to 13,740 units, according to the New York State Association of Realtors, while new listings dropped more than 15 percent. Yet, median sales prices climbed nearly 4 percent to $405,000 — the 28th consecutive month to see a median sales price rise.

New listings were also down more than 15 percent in Nassau County, while closed sales totaled just under 1,400 — a 16 percent decline from 2021. The median sales price, however, grew 5 percent to $701,250.

Real estate professionals are working with less than three months of housing supply, which continues to decline.

Experts call a six-month supply to be a sign of a balanced market.

Lindsay becomes VP at Northwell She was one of the first Americans to be vaccinated against the virus that causes Covid-19, and even received the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

But now Sandra Lindsay has a new role — vice president of public health advocacy for Northwell Health.

Lindsay spent 29 years in nursing, most recently as director of nursing and critical care at the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park.

She also led the front lines during the pandemic, not just during the first wave beginn i n g i n M a rch 2020, but by also volunteering to be the first in-line to Sandra Lindsay get the Pfizer vaccine on Dec. 14, 2020.

As a woman of color — and a proud Jamaican immigrant — Lindsay inspired communities of color and those in the Caribbean community to trust the vaccine. Her ID badge and scrubs now reside at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.

Lindsay immigrated in 1986, and graduated from Manhattan Community College in 1993 as valedictorian of her nursing program. She later earned her bachelor’s from St. Joseph’s University in Patchogue, a master’s degree from Lehman College in the Bronx, and an MBA from Hofstra University.

Lindsay joined Lenox Hill Hospital soon after as an oncology nurse, before moving to LIJ.

Q. Our two-car garage faces the street, but we’re making a lot of changes to our house, and want to open the garage door from our side yard instead of the front, partly because it will look nicer and also because it will give us privacy when we use it for shade in hot weather with the door open. We have always kept it organized so our cars fit. The problem is, we aren’t sure we have the room to make the turn, or whether there are rules about how much room we need for a driveway in our side yard. What permits do we need, how much space do we need and do we need our neighbor’s permission?

A. I remember, growing up, that there was a new development being built where one of the advertised features was that the garages didn’t face the street. The marketing term they used was to call these homes “estate homes,” partly, I believe, because they needed more land and a greater distance between neighbors.

I also remember that the onte eeper homes were arranged so the neighbors didn’t have a view out of side windows, looking into one another’s garages.

Your idea of creating another covered area to sit outdoors on hot, sunny days makes sense. Because there are no requirements for neighbor’s permission, or that residences require prescribed parking dimensions, your only problem is whether you have the turning area, also known to planners as turning radius.

If you’ve ever noticed that street corners are uniformly rounded, it’s because they’re regulated.

The same goes for parking lots, where we use a 5-foot radius for turning at a right angle, and the backup aisle is 24 feet wide. If you have more than 24 feet for the side-yard distance from your garage to your property line, plus a few extra feet, hopefully, to plant hedges, then you should have no problem laying out the new driveway approach.

Plans and a permit are required to show the structural change for the new garage door opening so your roof is correctly supported. You should hire an architect or engineer, since the plans will require a professional’s seal. If your home is in one of the many smaller villages that require the paving to be “permeable,” allowing rainwater to seep through and recharge groundwater, then you have more to do, which is why a professional should be hired to calculate and make recommendations on the least costly or least invasive way to handle drainage.

It’s true that this used to be simple, and it may even seem simple when you talk to a building official and they use phrases like “all you need to do” or “you just need” or “your architect will know.”

These phrases give the impression that this should be simple, another word for cheap. The only thing that makes it simple is when the explanations given to you are thorough and clear, and the planning is, too. Good luck!

opinions

here are all kinds of people who seek public office. Some are former government officials hoping to work their way up the political ladder. Others are businesspeople looking to transfer their skills from their world into the political world. A third class of candidates is the progressives who’ve never met a payroll and often don’t match the public’s perception of what a candidate should look and act like.

The fourth variety of office seeker is the celebrity candidate who would like to JERRY parlay his or her name recognition KREMER into elective office.

There’s a long history of celebrity candidates who’ve looked to turn fame into a different kind of power. Some of them have been sports heroes. The earliest one I could find was Walter Johnson, who pitched for the Washington Senators for almost 25 years and then, after he retired, ran for county commissioner in Montgomery County, Maryland. He succeeded in winning a term and then ran unsuccessfully for Congress.

The list of more recent sports figures who took the plunge into politics is head-

B

ed by former New York Knicks star Bill Bradley. Bradley was elected to the U.S. Senate, where he served three terms. In 2000 he decided to run for president, and his loss in the Democratic primary ended his political career.

Ben Knighthorse Campbell went from competing in judo in the 1964 Olympic Games to representing Colorado in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. Professional wrestler Jessie Ventura became governor of Minnesota, star pitcher Jim Bunning served in both the House and the Senate, and there were many more.

California is known for producing movie and television star candidates. The first one was George Murphy, a leading man of Hollywood musicals in the 1930s and ’40s who became a U.S. Senator. We all know the biggest success story of all, that of B movie actor Ronald Reagan, and then there was Arnold Schwarzenegger, who turned his bodybuilder persona into that of a successful actor as well, and then California’s governor.

The list of celebrities, some better known than others, who went into politics during or after film or television careers includes Shirley Temple Black, Cynthia Nixon, Sonny Bono, Clint East-

H

wood, Sean Duffy, Clay Aiken, Fred Grandy, George Takei, Melissa Gilbert and John David Lodge. The current roster of former media stars is headed by Donald Trump, whose show “The Apprentice” gave him access to millions of viewers who became enthusiastic supporters.

The tendency of wellknown personalities to become candidates continues with the upcoming November election. In Pennsylvania, Mehmet Oz is seeking to become a U.S. Senator. Oz gained television fame thanks to Oprah Winfrey, who made him a guest expert on her show.

Dr. Oz, as he’s called, had his own show for 10 years, which has given him widespread name recognition.

His Democratic opponent, John Fetterman, lacks a show business background, but has attracted attention for his blue-collar-style campaign.

Other well-known names are seeking key positions in several states. Former Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker is a Republican Senate candidate in Georgia, opposing Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, and television political commentator Tudor Dixon is the Republican candidate for governor in Michigan, challenging incumbent

istory has shown that endorsements by big names usually don’t produce votes.

Gretchen Whitmer. Both Walker and Dixon have Trump’s endorsement, which may or not be a blessing.

Some prominent figures are not seeking elective office, but instead will be playing active roles in many contests over the next month. Don’t be surprised if some of the candidates trot out celebrities as their endorsers. But history has shown that endorsements by big names usually don’t produce votes, and bigname endorsers often loses public support for their next movie or television show.

The next 30 days will determine whether any of the latest crop of celebrities can translate their prominence into winning campaigns.

These days, voters have become more sophisticated when it comes to endorsements, and if a candidate has taken unpopular positions, no celebrity will make a difference.

This year, issues like abortion, inflation, crime, education and the fragility of democracy itself are more important than candidates with recognizable names.

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.

Don’t we all live in the cone of uncertainty?

y the time you read this, all that will be left of Hurricane Ian will be wreckage, loss and grief.

I was floating in the Gulf of Mexico, in a good way, two weeks ago. We have a place there, on the beach, on a barrier island, at latitude 27.36798 degrees N, longitude -82.62578 degrees W. We were just beginning to hear about a new tropical depression that eventually became Ian, a meteorological thresher that shredded the southwest coast of Florida just days later. It made landfall near Fort Myers, an hour south of us, at latiRAnDi tude 26.64227 KREiss degrees N, longitude -81.86910 degrees W. When you live on a barrier island in Florida you trade days in paradise for the knowledge that your home and your life are subject to rising tides and increasingly fierce storms. We all know that no one should ever have built on the barrier islands, but my hunch is, people will rebuild, and developers will put up everlarger hotels and condos on the shoreline.

All the forecasts on Sept. 25 predicted that Tampa, up north, would be ground zero, but by the following day, we were the red-hot bulls-eye of the target zone. Our town issued a mandatory evacuation order and turned off all power and water to the island. We left our place a day before the storm hit, and drove to family in Fort Lauderdale. We’ve done this dance before. During Hurricane Katrina we were in Fort Lauderdale and had to evacuate to the west coast. Hurricane Sandy scattered us all over.

Early word is that our place on the beach is OK. The small shift in landfall saved us, but doomed our neighbors to the south. Our island still has no power or water. A sad note: The magical island of Captiva is flattened. The bridge from Fort Myers is in the Gulf.

I’ve been thinking about the 1948 movie “Key Largo,” with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. They are stranded in the Keys as a hurricane slams onshore.

What I remember is the sense of menace, the thrum in the air as barometric pressure falls, the seas turn an ominous shade of green and the birds stop sing-

T

ing. The day we left our beach, it was like that. The humidity saturated the air. A dome of heat pressed down. The birds were gone.

I can only feel lucky. Many thousands of people have no place to sleep. Their belongings, their memories and their jobs have been blown away. Businesses just beginning to recover from Covid-19 losses are in ruins.

I know it will get better, and people will rally, but we need to give ourselves a moment. This is yet another once-in-a-lifetime event, another “unprecedented” disaster.

It’s nice that the political players are grinding their teeth and trying to take the high ground, but don’t be fooled; politics rides these waves. Storms can be survived. More frightening is our current political cyclone. The stanchions of our democracy are also disappearing into deep troughs, and who knows if they can rise again?

Hurricane emergencies remind us that steady minds and steady hands at the wheel can help steer us through.

The supersized storms are increasing proof of the environmental crisis. How

he small shift in Ian’s landfall saved us, but doomed our neighbors to the south.

many 500-year storms do we need to survive before the anti-science refuseniks realize it may still be within our power to curb the emissions and toxins that affect our climate?

The hurricanes, the wildfires, our political divisions, the QAnon crazies and other GOP extremists all seem pulled into a tightening vortex, playing out here and now. A hurricane is an apt metaphor for the forces eroding our democracy. The cleanup effort on the ground in Florida will be monumental. I don’t know what it will take to right this listing ship of state.

For a weekly newspaper columnist, I have been in the right/wrong place many times in my career, able to offer firsthand observations. I was on a beach in New York watching the towers burn on 9/11. I was on a ship in the Arabian Sea on May 2, 2011, the night our military slid Osama bin Laden’s corpse into the water. I was out West last summer amid the wildfires and, two days ago, I was an hour away from ground zero of the storm of the century in Florida.

We all live in the cone of uncertainty.

Today, we’re standing. We can offer a hand to those knocked down by the storm.

You have just two minutes to escape a fire

his Sunday is the beginning of National Fire Prevention Week, a century-old public health observance created by the National Fire Protection Association that was first officially recognized by President Calvin Coolidge in 1925. And it’s no coincidence that you’ll find this week in October, since it commemorates the Great Chicago Fire, which burned more than 17,400 structures beginning on Oct. 8, 1871.

While that certainly sounds like a lot of buildings, the association now estimates that there are as many as 347,000 house fires in the United States each year.

That means that somewhere in America, a home is catching fire every other minute. Those blazes account for more than $7 billion in property damage, and worse, kill more than 2,600 people and injure over 11,000 more.

And that’s just on the civilian side.

Nearly 65,000 firefighters were injured battling blazes in 2020, according to the association, while federal officials report that more than 100 were killed. Firefighting is clearly one of the most dangerous jobs in America. Yet here on Long Island, nearly all of the 181 fire departments are volunteer.

That’s right. If you ever find yourself calling for help from the fire department, the men and women who show up at your

door are almost certainly first responders who get nothing in return for their service except the satisfaction of knowing they can help.

That’s the purest definition of a hero.

It’s also a noble pursuit that has evolved from rather ignoble beginnings.

In ancient Rome, a wealthy businessman said to be instrumental in the creation of what would become the Roman Empire — Marcus Licinius Crassus — put together a brigade of 500 slaves tasked with fighting blazes in the city. When smoke hit the sky, these slaves were there.

But with a catch. Crassus would negotiate with the building owner to buy it for what today would be pennies on the dollar — while it burned. If the owner sold, Crassus would instruct the slaves to extinguish the flames. If they didn’t sell, Crassus let it burn to the ground.

It would take Roman emperor Nero, in the first century, to build the first true fire brigade — one not seeking to profit from the misery of others — that most credit as the true beginning of one of society’s most essential services.

This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign is “Fire won’t wait, plan your escape.” Homes burn faster today than ever before, according to the fire protection association. If your home catches fire and you’re inside, you could have less

than two minutes to escape from the moment a smoke alarm sounds.

That means that having a plan in advance is more important than ever.

And because every home is different, so will every plan be. The association recommends developing individual plans for everyone in a home — children, older adults, people with disabilities.

It’s also imperative to make sure there are smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside every sleeping area — like hallways — and on every level, including the basement. In fact, the only place you shouldn’t put alarms, the association says, is in your kitchen and bathrooms.

And if you can, hire an electrician to help you link all the alarms — including those for carbon monoxide — together.

That way, if there is smoke in one part of the house, it will alert everyone, everywhere.

We all hope we can live a lifetime never having to call the fire department.

Even if we were to be so fortunate, we can sleep soundly at night knowing that those heroes are out there, ready to save us if we are threatened. But we can help keep them safe, too, by making sure we’re ready if we aren’t so fortunate.

So if you see a firefighter this week, say thank you — both in words and by doing your part to stay safe.

letters Randi fooled me — almost To the Editor: The title of Randi Kreiss’s column in the Sept. 15-21 issue, “From the queen to the U.S. jester-in-chief,” at long last, I thought, indicated she’d turned her sights from her obsessive hatred of Donald Trump to the realities of President Joe Biden’s makeAmerica-worse-again actions and proposals. Surely “jester-in-chief ” referred to the current resident of the White House, and his ongoing hypocrisies and misguided decisions that jeopardize the safety and security of this country, things like redefining a student loan to mean a gift, and the continuing denial of the crisis at the southern border.

But I was wrong. I found this was just another expression of Randi’s continuing obsessive hatred of Trump as the prime evil-doer of all time, mindless of Biden’s ongoing absurdities and self-created crises that have superseded in significance whatever failures Trump may have been responsible for earlier (and forget his achievements).

When Biden took office, Randi decried how she wouldn’t have Trump to push around any more. But old habits die hard.

She will continue to dismiss Biden’s growing list of failures, intent on pursuing her first love — her hatred of and assault on Trump — even with the crises of crime, recession, invasion from abroad, and Biden’s lies as to how

well America is doing with him in charge. As jester-in-chief, Randi is beginning to rival Biden himself.

ussian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine hasn’t gone the way he planned. And he doesn’t seem too happy about it.

I suppose you wouldn’t be happy, either, if you spent nearly a decade pumping your people full of lies to prepare them for this invasion. After all, Putin has dedicated a ton of resources to making sure his people believe that Ukraine belongs to them, that Ukrainians are actually just confused Russians or miCHaeL Poles, and that is ruled maLasZCZYk Ukraine

by Nazis.

First, Russia was going to take Ukraine in a week. Then maybe a month.

That didn’t happen. Many months later, we are seeing Ukraine making considerable gains in Russian-occupied territory.

And, unable to cope with this, Putin has gone to a new threat: nuclear war. Western leaders have met him stride for stride, and warned of counterattacks if he tries it.

This is something of a throwback threat. Many young people today don’t

know what it’s like to live in a world where nuclear war could be looming.

Given all the other problems we face today, it’s not something we think about often.

But nuclear war was prevalent in people’s minds not too long ago. The way warnings of the dangers of technology, mental health struggles and other, newer issues permeate today’s entertainment, nuclear war did so at the height of the Cold War. Remember “Planet of the Apes”? No, not those movies that came out in the 2010s. Those, ironically told the tale of how humanity destroyed itself when faced with a global pandemic.

But much like they addressed the problems of today, the original addressed the problems of its day.

Released in 1968, at the height of the Cold War and not long after a nuclear confrontation nearly happened during the Cuban missile crisis, “Planet of the Apes” follows Charlton Heston’s character, George Taylor, a space explorer who crash-lands on a mysterious planet.

Taylor encounters humans, but they are mute and animalistic, and the society is ruled by apes that have evolved into something human-like. They keep the

i

n ‘Planet of the Apes,’ we eventually discover what men have done to our planet.

LetteRs Governor, please sign the crypto mining moratorium To the Editor: Gov. Kathy Hochul must sign legislation establishing a moratorium on cryptocurrency mining powered by burning fracked gas. This kind of mining, used to make Bitcoin, known as “proof of work,” is extremely energy-intensive, consuming more energy than some entire nations.

The Greenidge Generating Station in the Finger Lakes highlights the threat to our beautiful state. This facility, a formerly shuttered coal plant, is now continuously burning fracked gas for Bitcoin mining. There are dozens of such plants across New York state that could be fired up again, polluting our air and water, promoting fracking and endangering our climate. Governor, please take

humans down with a passion, and Taylor is confused about why. One of the orangutan superiors, Dr. Zaius, played by Maurice Evans, pursues Taylor with religious zeal when Taylor, unlike all the other humans, speaks. Zaius interrogates him about where he came from, and repeatedly implies that he knows something more than the other apes do about humans.

When Taylor and Zaius discover evidence of an old civilization on the planet that was ruled by humans, Zaius confesses to Taylor that he has “always known about man” and, though he acknowledges that man’s civilization was once great, he adds that “his wisdom must walk hand in hand with his idiocy.” The sacred scrolls of the apes tell them to “beware the beast man, for he is the devil’s pawn” and that man would murder his own brother to possess his land.

This explains what drives the apes to oppress humans, but Taylor still doesn’t understand how they’ve come to believe this. Then, in a lifeless coastal desert known as the Forbidden Zone, once a lush paradise that was ruined by man, Taylor sees the Statue of Liberty, scorched, buried up to her chest in sand,

the ocean’s waves crashing into her. He has been on Earth the whole time, where humanity had destroyed itself in a nuclear war.

Taylor falls to his knees, condemning humanity as maniacs who have “finally gone and done it.” The film ends with Taylor collapsed in the surf, doomed to live the rest of his life on a post-apocalyptic Earth.

Putin’s threat has made this film, and the 1968 zeitgeist, relevant again today.

Are we going to finally go and do it?

It’s easy to watch “Planet of the Apes” and think of the apes as the bad guys, brutes who are treating humans like animals. But at the end of the film, Zaius is proven right about humanity. In that world, we indeed were the devil’s pawn.

And as Putin threatens to use nuclear war to take Ukraine, the idea that man would kill his brother to possess his land seems to ring true. Perhaps those of us who would dismiss his threat — or worse, dare him to follow through on it so we can retaliate — should give this classic film a watch. It provides a stark warning not only to Putin, but to anyone who thinks nuclear war is a feasible solution to the world’s problems.

immediate action to prevent more such travesties.

Establishing an immediate moratorium on cryptocurrency mining powered by fossil fuels, while completing a comprehensive study of its impacts on the climate and the environment more broadly, is a prudent and necessary action. The Legislature passed bills several months ago, and we are counting on the governor to sign them. The White House has also validated our concerns on cryptocurrency mining and the environment, which is more evidence of why we need this moratorium and more study.

I urge the governor, please do not delay. We’re counting on her to be an environmental leader of our state and an example for the nation. I urge her to sign this bill into law now.
