Friends turn a Facebook nostalgia page into a book

By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Their “page” may have started in 2008, but they couldn’t physically turn it until this April. Childhood friends-tur ned-co-authors Scott Mandel, 48, Jordan Kaplan, 57, Stacy Mandel Kaplan, 52, and Kimberly Towers, 48, started a Facebook page “Hey Long Island … Do U Remember?” 14 years ago, to reminisce and share their memories, and now

their book, of the same title, is inspiring memories nationwide.

On Saturday, the four authors — all natives of Oceanside except Jordan Kaplan, who now lives there, too — met some of their readers at a book signing at Thriftway Card and Gift in Oceanside.

Authors not by choice, but chosen nonetheless, their literary adventure began when MacIntyre Purcell Publishing Inc., in Canada, approached

them about turning their virtual page into tangible pages.

“We got the phone call to become authors,” Towers, a l o c a l f a s h i o n d e s i g n e r, recalled with a chuckle. Jordan Kaplan, a personal banker, compared it to an “American dream” story.

With backing from a publisher, the hard work had to begin, and the authors started researching, speaking to contacts to gather information and photos, sending photograContinued on page 11

The spirit and resiliency of Oceanside is alive and well, which was apparent at Coastal Cleanup Day last Sunday, hosted by the Oceanside SAFE Coalition, the Kiwanis Club of and Oceanside Warriors. Recognizing the devastating affect Hurricane Sandy had 10 years after it ravaged Oceanside, the cleanup focused not only on remembering what the community lost, but also what it gained, as neighbors rallied to help one another.

Alison Eriksen began volunteering for the SAFE Coalition when it was founded in 2014, and she is now its full-time project coordinator. The coalition, Eriksen said, Kiwanis and Warriors came together to tap into the spirit of helping the community, one piece of garbage or leaf at a time for the 10-year anniversary of Sandy.

“While devastating, the hurricane brought the community together like never before,” Eriksen recalled, “with neighbors lending a hand to each other in need.” That’s what participants were emulating on Sunday morning. For the Warriors, however, this is what they do every week, since they are always out

beautifying a spot in Oceanside with a cleanup or new plants.

“Especially in light of the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy,” Eriksen said. “… we wanted to make it a big community event, get the youth involved, get some community service hours and just kind of remind everybody what it felt like for the community to rally together again, and have that sense of pride in their community again.”

Since the SAFE Coalition’s goal is to provide a substanceabuse-free environment for the community, each group involved in the cleanup was given a checklist to note any drug or vaping paraphernalia or beer bottles, to deter mine whether if more police patrols or security was needed. Eriksen wasn’t in Oceanside when Sandy hit, but her family was. “Their house got completely destroyed,” she recalled, “so many people are still reeling from the after-effects of it. So many houses needed to be raised over here, and it was just a different world after that.”

In the wake of the storm, however, people took care of each other, a sense of unity that Eriksen said had been waning in Continued on page 4

Local distillery overflowing with art and liquor Old Spirit Distillery hosts second annual Fall Arts and Craft Exhibit in Oceanside

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

B

esides barrels filled with locally distilled hard liquor, nearby and homegrown artists featured a juxtaposition to the surrounding factory equipment, exhibiting photographs and paintings of tranquil Long Island scenes. That was the image Saturday at the second annual Fall Arts and Crafts Exhibit held at the Old Spirit Distillery in Oceanside.

A way to get both the artists and distilleries name out to the public, the event was one of kind, especially since the distillery is the only one in Nassau County. One of the distillery partners, John Dianellos, said the events goal, “basically is to give the people a place to demonstrate their art. People can come in and buy cocktails, buy art and see all the things.”

The exhibit starting out last year featuring the solo watercolor paintings of Lori Blau, an Oceanside artist who’s been painting since she was two. But quickly expanded, with hopes from Dianellos that each year more people will come and not only buy the art but show off their own. “Slowly, slowly we’re trying to get the word out and show people that we exist,” Dianellos said, explaining the timing of the pandemic directly impacted the start of their business which launched its first hard liquor in 2019.

Entering the distillery Saturday, Blau’s calming and colorful landscapes featuring timid deer, grazing cows and water lilies is the first sight to capture the eye. Painting as a side job and serious hobby, it’s second nature for her now, “it’s completely natural, like an instinct,” she said. Starting young, “when I was seven or eight,” Blau was already taking “real serious lessons with adults,” she said recalling her art beginnings, later majoring in art in college. “I kind of pursued it my whole life. It was kind of part of everything.”

Traditionally painting landscapes and objects, Blau has been mixing in more “modern and eclectic” styles into her recent work. “It’s very much a way of relaxing and using my time to not think about anything,” she said. Explaining further her process and how an idea for her work can come from anywhere, “A lot of times I see things I want to paint and that also inspires me, I see something very simple, but I’ll already envision it as a painting.”

Another near lifetime artist on show was Barb Lobosco, who started her passion by running around as a kid with a Polaroid instamatic camera in hand taking photos of her family. Later studying dark room photography in college but taking a break while she “floundered around a little bit” she said, “I went back to school to become a teacher and now I’m retired, so I’m back into it.”

But it’s not the same as before, gone are the days of

the hour or more process to develop film, “It’s all digital now,” she noted, “but I like it much better, because I like that instant image, in case I want to correct it. I can change the angle and say, ‘this is how I want it to look like.” Glancing at her landscape photographs, the audience is pulled into a memory, sometimes of lounging on the beach during the sunset or observing fall foliage.

Painter by choice and occasional photographer for reference use, Stuart Friedman was another artists on display that has been capturing moments in time since high school. “I took courses even when I was working full-time, I would always take painting classes at night to stay with it,” he said of his passion. “It was always my hobby but then I got serious about 10, 15 years ago,” he said, “Then I started taking it up a notch by entering shows.”

Events and membership coordinator at the West End Art, Friedman is consistently surrounded by beautiful artwork, that is when he’s not producing his own. Taking particular interest in landscapes, he can be found replicating scenes from Lido Beach to the Hudson River.

“We’ve got really nice sunsets on Long Island and there’s a lot of water, whether the bay or the ocean and a lot of shorelines,” he said of what catches his eye in nature. Commenting that “it’s a great idea to have work here” at the distillery.

Not a photographer or painter, Carla Weinstein makes a different type of art: candles. Crafting them commercially for about a year under the name Black Girl Spar-

COlORful ANd VIBRANt, Barb Lobosco and her artwork go hand in hand, documenting many Long Island twilights and dawns.

PAINteR lORI BlAu (above) of Oceanside, stands next to her original watercolors featured this past weekend at the Fall Arts and Crafts Exhibit hosted by Old Spirit Distillery. kle, she started creating them for herself and family, needing to destress during the early stages of Covid.

“I love candles and during the pandemic I needed something else to do besides work,” she told the Herald, “I’m an EMT for the fire department in New York City so (the pandemic) was kind of overwhelming, I needed something else to put my focus on.” This was not Weinstein’s first time at the distillery though, coming on her birthday to take a tour, her and owner Dianellos kept in touch and reconnected at the exhibit.

Dianellos says what sets his liquor apart from others is the fact it’s organic and Kosher for Passover. “Instead of using animal-based yeast that has animal-based cells, everything is plant based, so it’s a reassurance that the product is clean,” he said. In addition to the different bases used, they work to remove any impurities during the distillation process. “That’s what make our vodka very smooth and easy to drink,” he explained, “It doesn’t give you hangovers, headaches, or anything like that.”

JOhN dIANellOs, ROmAN Fuzaylov, and Olga Abdurakhmanq are business partners together operating Oceanside’s Old Spirit Distillery.

‘The community is always there for everybody’ Continued from front page recent years. “We just remember that in the days after Hurricane Sandy hit, how businesses, everybody, people who lost everything, came together and pitched in,” she said, “and it’s really easy, especially over the last couple years, to lose that and feel so divided.”

Sandy Schoell, a member of the Kiwanis Club and the Oceanside Board of Education, checked volunteers in at the cleanup. Before the hurricane, Schoell recalled, she packed up her family and took them to her son’s house in Wantagh.

They returned to a devastated Oceanside days later. “I lost half my house to it,” she said of the storm. “… We came back, and the whole bottom half of our high-rise ranch was flooded.”

Schoell remembered the frustration community members felt as they all vied for contractors to salvage their homes.

“We had to wait in line to find contractors and go through the whole process that everybody else had to struggle with,” she said. “We had to clean out the whole house — everything on the bottom level, we lost. It was a very expensive storm for us, and I only lost half my house.”

Her mother’s house fared even worse.

“It was totaled,” Schoell said. “It took out her whole house. We had to gut everything. She lost everything, and it changed her life completely. The storm did a lot of damage to a lot of people.” But it also served as something of a communitywide

call to action.

“The one thing that Oceanside is, when there’s a need they rally together — the organizations and the people come together and help each other,” Schoell said. In the days after the storm, she witnessed acts of kindness and generosity from different demographics.

“I had these kids from the football team helping us lift these 300-pound carpets out of my downstairs.

Hundreds eagerly attend Herald’s Senior Health Expo

BY ALEXA ANDERWKAVICH aanderwkavich@liherald.com Guests happily lined up at the Temple Beth Am in Merrick to attend RichnerLIVE and the Herald’s Senior Health & Beyond Expo, presented by UnitedHealthcare on Oct. 13, the second in a highly-anticipated series of Expos for 2022.

The free Expo is a multi-faceted event, where a myriad of trusted companies and facilities — as well as budding businesses — share their products and services with the Long Island community.

“It’s so nice to have our Expo bring the community together,” Executive Director of Corporate Relations & Events at Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLIVE Amy Amato said. “We’re proud to host this series and bring so many innovative services and pioneers in health together for the community to benefit from.”

More than 50 vendors lined the lobby and ballroom to share their expertise in wellness, services, lifestyle tips, estate planning and insurance, helpful products, and more. Attendees could also receive a free flu-shot, — provided by Mount Sinai South Nassau and Molloy University nursing students — just in time for the chilly season ahead; enjoy snacks and refreshments — courtesy of Bagel Plaza and Walker’s Shortbread; and participate in raffles.

Massages and reiki cleanses from Charmed Eclectic Healing Shoppe put guests at ease — and to take their bodies’ abilities higher, a movement session from Club Pilates introduced attendees to the wonderful world of pilates and all the benefits it can offer.

The panel discussion was kicked-off with keynote speaker Michael Krantz, licensed sales representative from UnitedHealthcare, who educated the attendees on how he helps retirees and pre-retires on their journey through the world of Medicare.

“Medicare in particular is always a complex subject matter and it was an amazing experience to be able to provide information and answer questions at the local community level” UnitedHealthcare Representative Krantz said. “I always look forward to helping those in need of understanding their different options.”

Guests also heard from panelists Hannah Glenny, manager of patient engagement strategies at Otsuka Pharmaceuticals; Khurshid Ibrahimi, PT, from Long Beach Nursing & Rehabilitation Center (Cassena Care); Dr. Lawrence Cardano, Au.D, from the Hearing Center of Long Island; Jill Wasser, utility consumer program specialist at NYS Department of Public Service; Margaret Gonzalez, senior account manager of business development at Aetna; and Donna Stefans, ESQ., founder and lead attorney at Stefans Law Group.

The audience interacted and asked questions between each speaker, with topic-titles ranging from “Clinical Trials,” “Healthy Aging and Your Hearing,” “What You Need to Know about Managed Long Term Care,” “Posture and How to Lift Heavy Objects” and more.

Dr. Cardano also offered free hearing screenings during the event; attendees

lined the hall patiently awaiting their checkups — one of the many services offered at the expo. Others included senior I.D. cards from the Town of Hempstead with Town Clerk Kate Murray, antique appraisal from Syl-Lee Antiques, and tarot card readings from the Holistic Healing Goddess — who engaged with guests on a mystical plane.

Attendees received a goody bag — courtesy of Grandell Rehabilitation and Nursing Center and Oceanside Care Center — filled with special-event sections, keepsakes, information and a whole bag of bialys from Bell’s Brooklyn Bagels.

The Expo was made possible thanks to presenting sponsor United Healthcare; gold sponsors Otsuka Pharmaceuticals and Stefans Law Group; silver sponsors Aetna, Parker Jewish Institute For Health Care and Rehabilitation, Long Beach Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Hearing Center of Long Island, New York State Department of Public Service, Full Circle Medicaid, refreshment sponsor Long Beach Assisted Living.

From Brooklyn to Montauk, and in between phers out to locations and racking their brains for notable locations and historical footnotes on the Island — all of this taking place during the coronavirus lockdown.

“We had restrictions on us,” Towers said of the challenges of the pandemic, “so we couldn’t go everywhere.”

Their research, however, ranged far and wide across Long Island. “We made sure in the book to cover everything,” said Mandel Kaplan, who is Jordan Kaplan’s wife, Scott’s sister and an attorney. “It goes from the Brooklyn Bridge to Montauk Point, Sands Point to Long B e a ch a n d t h e p l a c e s i n between.”

Her brother, who is also an attorney, added that “it also covers culture, so there’s music in there, pretty much anything having to do with Long Island, so it’s a nice scope.”

It was hard to narrow all of the information down, they all agreed, because there was so much rich history to explore.

“You’ll find one thing and we’ll talk and say, ‘Wow this is amazing,’” Mandel said, “then we’d move on to the next one and say,

‘Wow, this is amazing.’” He added that each place “brought up different emotions and different memories” for each of them.

Mandel Kaplan said she hoped readers would feel the same way. “Each page brings a different connection to somebody,” she said, “and because we did things as far back as our earliest picture, which I think is the early 1900s, it covers a lot of generations.” Already they’ve gotten responses from around the county, with readers saying things like “‘Hey, I remember my grandfather telling me about that,’ or ‘I remember going here with my son,’” Mandel Kaplan said. They also intended the book to be a tribute to their past and present.

“We wrote the book collectively, more for us to honor our parents and to preserve those memories for our children,” she said, “and we now have something to show them.”

One of the book’s featured photographers, Kathleen Balsamo, 61, of East Patchogue, also came to the book signing, which was the first time the authors met the photographers they deployed during the pandemic.

“I don’t think we’ll ever see all of the landmarks on Long Island,”

because there are so many, Balsamo said.

But that didn’t stop her from “loving every minute of it,” she said, recalling her father’s words to her when she was a young adult. “My dad used to say, ‘You want to trek all over the world and see this and that,’” Balsamo recounted, “‘but people come to Long Island to see what we have.’”

The authors never expected the book to be as well received as it has been. “This was a labor of love for the four of us,” Mandel said, “and to see the response in reviews on Amazon was really nice, and something that caught u s o f f g u a rd — f ive - s t a r reviews.”

Towers shared the sentiment.

“To find out it put a smile on someone’s face — that’s what it’s all about,” she said, “and everybody needs to reminisce and think back, and that’s how this whole Facebook page started.”

Their book isn’t like a school history textbook, Mandel Kaplan said. “It’s not just history,” she said. “It’s nostalgia and memories, which are different than history.”

The loser could slip to as low as seventh.

“It’s a big game – must-win,’’ Oceanside head coach Rob Blount said. “Our kids are excited we have the opportunity to control our destiny. It’s a testament to the conference being wide open.’’

Behind the stellar two-way genius of senior Logan Lyson, the Sailors are on a mission.

Lyson, who plays middle linebacker and tight end at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds, missed the first two games after thumb surgery. No coincidence, Oceanside began 0-2.

“Things are starting to click,’’ Lyson said. “We started off the season with a couple of injures and we had young, inexperienced starters who are feeling more comfortable.’’

In last Friday’s 28-0 romp over Valley Stream Central, Lyson notched three solo tackles and another tackle for a loss. He caught 4 balls for 66 yards. “He’s physical presence, flies to the ball and does a lot of great stuff for us,’’ Blount said.

Lyson, a four-year starter and All-County selection, is headed to Division I Sacred Heart on nearly a full ride – a combo athletic/academic scholarship.

First he’d like a longer football fall.

“No doubt in my mind we can make a dent in the playoffs,’’ Lyson said. “We’re getting a lot better as a team.’’

The question was always going to be finding the proper successor to record-setting quarterback Charlie McKee to keep up the winning tradition. Oceanside has advanced to five Conference 1 championship games in seven seasons.

Enter freshman quarterback, Shane Harmon, who made 11 of 15 completions for 144 yards versus Valley Steam Central.

Cole paRkeR haD a pair of rushing touchdowns Friday night as the Sailors earned a third straight victory to improve to 4-3.

Running backs Cole Parker (14-109) and Isaiah Spivey (8-95) also shared the load in combining for 204 rushing yards. Parker had a pair of touchdowns.

Earlier in the season, Oceanside’s coaches elected to primarily run a “Wildcat’’ attack - a running back taking the snap. That hokiness has been scaled back and Harmon played the entire game against VSC for the first time.

“He’s doing a great job developing,’’ Blount said. “He’s completing more than 60 percent of his balls. He’s growing up.’’

And the quarter has earned the trust of Lyson, who thinks the program will stand in good hands. “Coaches do a great job developing younger guys coming up,’’ Lyson said. “I think Shane has done a tre-

mendous job starting his first varsity season. Things are going to get better and better as the season goes on and years down the line.”

But the future is now.

Oceanside comes into the Freeport showdown in fifth place. That can change quickly if the Sailors can’t handle Freeport’s vaunted rushing attack. They’ll need an opportunistic defense. Safety Brian Kraemer recovered two fumbles last Friday.

“The first four weeks, we were Jekyll and Hyde,’’ Blount said. “Playing musical chairs, with guys out of the lineup, this is the first time we had same continuity with secondary, up front and linebackers. We’re developing a rhythm.’’

‘A Flea in Her Ear’ There are plenty of laughs to be had in Nassau Community College’s theatre department’s production of Georges Feydeau’s farcical French confection. Set in Paris in 1900, life insurance executive Victor Chandebise becomes the subject of an elaborate ruse concocted by his wife, Raymonde. She suspects that her husband’s sudden lack of passion in the bedroom signifies that he is cheating on her. With the help of her best friend, Lucienne, Raymonde writes Victor an anonymous letter, requesting a meeting at the dubious Frisky Puss Hotel. As is the case with stories of mistaken identity, hilarity ensues as Raymonde, Victor, Lucienne and a host of other characters gather, everybody wondering what on earth is going on.

Thursday through Saturday, Oct. 27-29, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, Oct. 30, 2 p.m. Nassau Community College, Mainstage Theatre, Garden City. Tickets $10; NCC students free with valid ID; $8, veterans, alumni, seniors 60-plus, students and NCC employees.

How can I go off the grid?

Q. I was wondering if you know about how I can use my solar energy, or some other source, to control the power in my home, essentially, go off the grid. I have looked into this, and it seems very expensive to load up on batteries, but I don’t see anyone doing it.

Is it because the batteries are so expensive, or are they dangerous? Can they catch fire? Why isn’t anyone doing this?

A. When I first began to learn about energy in my environmental design classes, along with lighting, sound wave and acoustics technology, insulation, elevators — they really never touched on the dark side of energy generation and what really restricts loading up on all kinds of great technical advances. We figured that any independence onte eeper from the grid was great.

I remember driving from our campus out into the open fields of Ohio flat country to continue working, each weekend, on Darius and Savonius windmills. We constructed towers, and I was the one chosen to go to the top while others tossed up bolts and strips of metal. We did produce energy, but the number one limiter, always, is money. It all boils down to the cost, but not in the way you might initially imagine.

To put it bluntly, you are restricted by legislation and utility company controls. There is only so much you can get reimbursed for, so most people will not pursue the expense of investing in free energy because of the initial cost outlay, to go beyond what they can save from a utility company rebate or discount. The reason most people have lower solar energy bills is the way they save. In essence, you get a reduction from the utility by generating power for them, not for you. Your investment in solar panels helps utilities by generating power sent to an inverter that sends that electric current back to the power wires for distribution.

You don’t generate power for your own home or business. When you do, using batteries, you still get the benefit of a reduced bill, but only up to the $1,000 (or so) limit. The cost of the equipment and the amount of electricity you store still makes it costly, not free.

A man named Thomas Engel, in Sweden, found a method that will probably be incorporated in the future, when desperation allows for spending more to save more, by the use of magnets. Using “permanent magnets” utilizing a rare-earth metal called neodymium, Engel developed a motor that runs without degrading and without electricity (except a small charge to start the rotation of the rotors).

Since it’s a hard sell when large utilities don’t invest, the use right now for this method of energy production is mainly for nuclear spin tomography and wind generation, so it does work. Maybe someday you’ll be able to use real cost-saving energy in your home. It’s not because of fire safety — just money.

oting is so easy. There used to be a single Election Day. Since 1845, that voting day was on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. If you considered voting an important civic duty, you went to your polling place and pulled the levers.

We still have an official Election Day, Nov. 8 this year, but in New York state, early voting begins on Saturday and ends Nov. 6. That’s nine days of early voting and a 10th day on Nov. 8.

Couldn’t be easier to vote, right?

But less than 60 percent of the eliJoHn gible population in the five o’ConnELL voted presidential elections between 2000 and 2016. Sixtyseven percent of eligible citizens voted in the 2020 presidential election. Kimberly Gonzales, in City & State New York, wrote that “New York’s estimated voter turnout for 2020 was 65.3 percent of eligible voters, ranking New York 30th out of 50 states for voter turnout. … In 2016, New York ranked 39th in voter turnout, when it was 57.2 percent.”

In non-presidential years like this one,

n

the national rates of participation range from 37 percent in 2014 to a high of 50 percent in 2018. In off-year elections in New York state from 2002 to 2018, an average of only 36.6 percent of those who could vote did so. Some blame low voter turnout on how hard we make it to register to vote, as though allowing for same-day registration would get more people to head to the polls.

Imagine! Requiring New Yorkers to register to vote ahead of time by presenting qualifying documents (a driver’s license or other ID) and then voting a few weeks later! Oh, the burden! Oh, the suffering!

I am of two minds on voter turnout. On one hand, if 80 to 90 percent of qualified voters went to the polls, at least the winners and losers could say the people have spoken. The way it is now, people get elected via the party primary system and general elections with embarrassingly few votes.

Then again, statewide, almost 50 percent of New York’s 12.9 million registered voters are Democrats, and only 22 percent are Republicans. There are more registered Independents in the state than members of the GOP. So getting more people out to vote in New York doesn’t mean a

H

more balanced political landscape in Albany, and of course not in New York City, where most of the partisan campaign funding — the lifeblood of politicians’ policy views — comes from.

Maybe I’m of three minds. I wish more citizens thought more about their votes vis a vis their quality of life, the cost of necessary things, their personal safety, the quality and cost of their children’s education, property crime, infrastructure disrepair, and a host of other concerns.

Nineteen of New York’s 27 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives are occupied by Democrats. Our two senators are Democrats.

The Assembly has had a Democratic majority every year since 1992. Democrats have controlled the State Senate since 2019. There’s been a Democrat in the governor’s mansion since 2007.

What are the top five accomplishments this lopsided majority in Albany has delivered? Bail reform? Ha! Getting the demonstrably mentally ill off the streets?

Solving the homelessness crisis? Lower taxes? Instead of naming a few things only the left consider achievements, what are the actions state elected officials have

appy with how life is in N.Y.? With your tax rates?

With how police are treated?

taken that the vast majority of New Yorkers would applaud? Or are the Democrats interested only in satisfying their liberal lobbyists and contributors, as opposed to the general welfare? That’s the way it feels.

With all that Democratic control of legislation, taxation, education, public safety and administration, are you happy with how life is in New York? Happy with your tax rates? Happy with how police are treated? Are the residents of New York City happy with the education their children are getting? Do you want to ride the LIRR into Manhattan, and ride the subway to a show or restaurant? Do you feel that vicious thugs are treated with more respect than the victims of their criminal acts? Are you sick of politicians showing up at autumn street fairs before elections but acting like “Markles” (my new name for obnoxiously privileged, entitled, aloof snobs) the rest of their terms?

I remember a time when incumbents had to earn votes, had to justify their reelection by accomplishing things for the good and welfare of us all. Let’s vote more thoughtfully, vote for more balance in Albany, and send the politicians who’ve brought us to where we are now packing.

When real-life horrors hijack Halloween

obody wants to be a buzz-kill when it comes to Halloween. I love my candy corn as much as the next grandma, but recent events seem to have sucked the fun out of being just a little bit afraid.

The thrill of Halloween — the walk down the block in the dark, the horror masks and the strangers at the door — all seem a good way for the little ones to venture out. Especially after the lockeddown years of the pandemic, children need to go door to door in their gaudy costumes. They need RAnDi to fill up their KREiss goodie bags with a dentist’s dream of hard sugar candies. They need to feel a little scared and gain some mastery over the unease.

It’s a fun time for our children, but the over-the-top marketing, the commercialization of the holiday, the orange cupcakes and pumpkin lattes feel lame. This year especially, real life is so scary that Halloween seems meh. I may feel some good jitters on Halloween, watching kids scoot through the darkness, but I will be deeply anxious a week later, on Election Day, if the pillars of our democracy start

to wobble.

The political boogeymen and women of our time — Herschel Walker, Mehmet Oz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Kevin McCarthy, Kari Lake, Lauren Boebert, John Gibbs, Doug Mastriano, Joe Kent, Ron DeSantis and dozens of others — could be swept into office, or into more powerful positions, with a strong GOP showing.

Ironically, many of them, avowed anti-maskers when it comes to Covid-19, are wearing masks of duplicity these days, peddling lies and disinformation. Some are promising to challenge unfavorable election results. I’ve been scared watching Halloween horror movies, but I am terrified of losing our democracy to extremists with an authoritarian agenda.

Even pumpkins aren’t pumpkins anymore. No Halloween pumpkin in the history of the world can compare with American’s Great Pumpkin, the former president. Really, could you make up the Orange Menace if he didn’t already exist?

There’s that tape out there with him bragging about grabbing women’s genitals and getting away with it because he’s a star. There is the subpoena last week from the Jan. 6 committee, requiring him

E

to testify about events surrounding the insurrection. There are the many recordings of him demonizing minorities and insulting women, especially those who accuse him of sexual misconduct.

Halloween just cannot compare to a former American president who has indicted himself in his own words as a profoundly uncouth, blatantly racist xenophobe still trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Sorry, Halloween, you’ve been hijacked by facts on the ground. Nothing can possibly be as scary as the regular news.

Like a poison tree, Donald Trump has sent roots out all over the country, with once highly respected officials, like Army Gen. Michael Flynn, becoming acolytes and servants to the cause of white Christian nationalism.

Since the ascendency of Trump, certain bedrock beliefs, such as the peaceful transition of power in presidential elections, have been challenged. Halloween, can you really do better than that? Fake Freddie fingernails and monster teeth just don’t cut it anymore.

When I was a child, we felt nervous, in a good way, when the big kids in creepy costumes rang our doorbell. Now the kids are polite and sweet and most

gging a car? Toilet paper in the trees? You call those tricks?

Not these days.

always accompanied by parents. The trick-or-treaters are all well-behaved, Halloween, but we still have Trump huffing and puffing and trying to blow our house down.

And about the whole trick thing? Egging a car? Toilet paper in the trees? You call those tricks? They’re lame when compared with the cyber wars flashing across the internet. Who can battle back against the tricksters who commandeer our social media to spread lies?

As for ghosts, Halloween, I’m seeing the spirits of Mussolini and Hitler dancing across America.

According to the Associated Press, “Michael Flynn, who just eight years ago under President Barack Obama led the U.S. military’s intelligence agency, now is at the center of a far-right Christian nationalist movement based in Florida.

He urges his supporters to get involved in local politics as a way to change the country from the bottom up.” In Sarasota, Flynn’s school board picks — backed by the Proud Boys — won.

Clearly, this year the former president and his MAGA tribe trump Halloween.

Maybe next year, fright wigs and skeleton costumes will be amusing again.

Being a little afraid is cool. Being afraid that the country as we know it is about to implode is terrifying.

Get out and exercise … your right to vote

M

ark Twain famously once said that if “voting made any difference, they wouldn’t let us do it.”

It’s that kind of cynicism about the very process of electing men and women to represent us that has plagued our democracy not just for decades, but almost from the very beginning.

Even the Founding Fathers didn’t get voting quite right. Back then, to legally cast a ballot, you had to be a white, male landowner, with rare exceptions. Over time — too much time — those rights were extended to everyone else, including ethnic minorities and, finally, women.

While far more adults are eligible to vote today than are not, the fight to suppress voting is hardly over. Efforts continue to limit who can elect their governmental leaders, and even where that’s not so prevalent, many still choose not to make the effort to mark a ballot and have it counted.

Yes, political rhetoric feels polarizing, because it is polarizing. Believe it or not, however, that’s hardly new. Election rhetoric in the 18th century was so biting and scandalous that if it still existed today, it would make grocery store tab-

loids like the National Enquirer look like serious journalism.

But we can’t allow any of that to distract us from what democracy truly is — a government of the people, by the people and for the people. That “people” is supposed to be us. Yet it won’t be “by the people” or even “for the people” if we don’t exercise our right to vote over the next couple of weeks.

The 2020 presidential election drew more than 70 percent of registered voters in Nassau County. In this year’s primaries, however, turnout plummeted to just a fraction of that. While the race between Gov. Kathy Hochul and her Long Island challenger, Lee Zeldin, may move more voters than normal to head to the polls, participation will certainly be nowhere near the levels of Donald Trump vs. Joe Biden.

Politicians tend to be afraid of voters, no matter what their political persuasion. And while most face that fear and go with what the people decide, there are others who will fight for your right to vote, as long as that vote is aligned with their interests. That creates governments that are simply not representative of the people they serve, and makes it far

easier to manipulate the workings of government for the gain of a select few.

So what if Mark Twain and many people you know believe voting and politics leave a bad taste in their mouths? There is a lot that can be done to make the process more pleasant, but it won’t happen as long as too many of us don’t exercise our right to vote in the first place.

Our ballot this time around is filled with a number of races, from town councils, to the Assembly, to the State Senate, to the U.S. House of Representatives, with a number of judgeships also on the line. It should matter to you who represents you in Albany, just as it should matter to you who represents you in Washington. What’s decided in those two capitals impacts you in every way, from the taxes you pay, to how safe the roads and bridges are around you, to how you can seek health care, and so much more.

Don’t take your right to vote for granted. Casting a ballot is the most direct way to truly make your voice matter.

And when you add your voice to the chorus of other civic-minded Americans, we truly can make where we live, work and play the places we want to live, work and play.

letters This Holocaust survivor didn’t need America’s help To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “When Nazis killed 6 million, where was America?” (Se pt.

29-Oct. 5): When my tiny motherin-law, Helen Diamant, who died in 2016, was 22-year-old Chella Wildenberg in 1939 Poland, Adolf Hitler invaded her country at the beginning of World War II. She suffered at the hands of Hitler’s Nazis for several years, and eventually learned that all the workers in the labor camp where she was imprisoned would soon be sent to the infamous Treblinka concentration camp to be murdered in its gas chambers, but she somehow managed to escape.

She was also able to rescue her younger brother from another work camp, but after weeks of running, hiding, freezing and starving, he finally told her he wanted them to give themselves up — knowing they would be shot to death, but also that their fear, hunger and suffering would finally

come to an end. He believed that their continuing survival was an impossibility, but Helen told him, “No, I won’t do that. I have to see the end of Hitler, and I just know he’s going to have a bad end.” She later said that belief was part of what kept her going.

Unfortunately, she and her brother eventually

got separated, and before the end of the war, he, their older brother and sister, their parents, and two dozen other relatives were all killed. But Helen kept her promise to herself to live to see the end of Hitler.

When Hitler ignominiously killed himself at age 56 in 1945, Helen, who had eventually escaped

ong Island has the potential to be the East Coast’s clean energy hub. Thanks to Gov. Kathy Hochul’s dedication to making New York a leader in renewables, we’re poised to add a fleet of new offshore wind turbines that will transform our energy system.

But 10 years after Hurricane Sandy left 200,000 homes without electricity for weeks, Long Island still does not have a reliable, fortified transmission grid that could handle heightened demand, the conGarY nection of addirenewable LaBarBera tional energy projects, like offshore wind, and more frequent intense storms due to changing climate all at once. The grid needs to be rebuilt now, so we’re ready for clean energy and prepared to withstand the next Sandy.

With a commitment to upgrading our transmission grid, Long Islanders would see clear benefits, including an influx of thousands of good-paying jobs, a reinvigoration of the middle class, and the forging of a clear path to welcoming and integrating new offshore wind projects that advance the state’s clean energy goals.

Recent grid failures around the coun-

try are reminders of our vulnerability. As frigid temperatures resulted in historic, widespread power outages throughout Texas in 2021, and wildfires continue to cause devastating outages across the Southwest, the weaknesses in our aging national grid have never been more obvious. The American Society of Civil Engineers recently estimated that 70 percent of U.S. power lines are well into the second half of their life expectancy, and The Wall Street Journal reported that the grid has become “increasingly unreliable.”

Several states have responded to climate disasters by investing in local grid-modernization projects. After Hurricane Wilma caused significant power outages throughout Florida in 2005, state regulators and electric utilities undertook initiatives to harden the grid, strengthening power lines to withstand extreme winds and replacing wood transmission structures with steel or concrete. When Hurricane Irma struck Florida in 2017, the Florida Public Service Commission concluded that the gridhardening initiatives had “markedly” reduced outage times, allowing customers — and the state’s economy — to get back to normal faster.

A similar hardening program could work on Long Island, where we some-

times struggle to maintain power in just a thunderstorm. The New York Independent System Operator is currently reviewing proposals from transmission developers, including NextEra Energy Transmission New York, to build a resilient grid for Long Island, including common-sense hardening solutions for our substations, a critical part of our transmission system. By elevating equipment on concrete pads as a protective measure against flooding and storm surge and improving communication links between substations to ensure reliability during storms, we can significantly strengthen Long Island’s power grid.

The high stakes and potential benefits could not be clearer. The time is now to move these resiliency investments to the top of the priority list.

Modernizing Long Island’s grid will ensure that we can keep the lights on cleanly and reliably while working to maintain New York’s status as a global leader in clean energy initiatives. In 2019, New York passed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act, which makes additional electrification an essential part of the strategy to decarbonize our economy, including 9,000 megawatts of offshore wind. However, Long Island’s current transmission system is far too

to relative safety in, of all places, Germany, was working as a maid. She lived to age 99, having graced the Earth for 43 years more than the 56 years Hitler defiled it. When Hitler killed himself inside his underground bunker, he died in defeat, surrounded mainly by people who feared him. When “Miss Helen” died in her Jesup, Georgia, home, she died with dignity, surrounded by people who loved her.

The year after Hitler’s suicide, Helen and her husband, Howard, an Auschwitz concentration camp survivor himself, were blessed with the birth of their daughter, Laura. They then had sons Louis, Robert and Michael, and Helen continues to live on today through Laura, Michael and Robert, and Robert’s daughter, Rachel.

Helen has often been called a Holocaust “survivor,” but she had also been a “striver” and a “thriver.” The dictionary entries for striver (“one who exerts much energy and effort; one who struggles to succeed”) and thriver (“one who grows vigorously, makes steady progress, prospers and flourishes”) could both be illustrated with pictures of my mother-in-law.

weak to transfer the renewable energy planned for the area. Grid updates are imperative to offshore wind’s success.

Most important, Long Island is positioned to become a state leader in green jobs. The region is home to some of the state’s most skilled technicians and tradespeople who are prepared for this work. Transmission developers and general contractors are willing to work with union labor in our state, and rebuilding the grid has the potential to create between 4,000 and 10,000 jobs in the region over five years of construction later this decade — injecting up to $2.7 billion into the local economy.

Upgrading our transmission system is a win-win for Long Island residents and workers. Improving Long Island’s grid will not only provide our skilled workers, and new workers, with a vital opportunity to build green infrastructure in their communities and pursue an attainable path to the middle class, but also jumpstart the region’s transition to clean energy.

Climate change is here, and the next Sandy is coming. It’s time for Long Island to take proactive steps to fortify its grid.

We can create countless good-paying jobs and build a resilient, storm-hardened transmission grid that will serve Long Islanders’ homes and businesses with a steady stream of clean and reliable energy.
