Political graffiti found on three North Shore District schools By MIkE CONN mconn@liherald.com

In an email to North Shore Central School District parents on Monday morning, Superintendent Dr. Peter Giarrizzo informed them that North Shore High School and Glen Head and Glenwood Landing elementary schools had been defaced with politically themed graffiti on

Sunday night. Thirteen of the high school’s doors had been spray-painted with “Trump” or “MAGA,” Giarrizzo told the Herald Gazette, and the front door of Glenwood Landing and the garage door of Glen Head Elementary had also been marred, though paint had been splashed over the graffiti at the elementary schools to cover it up. It was unclear whether

that was done by the same people who sprayed the original markings, or by someone else. The vandalism at the elementary schools was caught on security cameras, Giarrizzo said, adding that he was working with the Nassau County Police Department and district security personnel to identify the culprits.

The Sea Cliff Artisan’s Fair offered local artists a chance to showcase their wares to about a 1,000 people. The fair also helped raise money for the local Kiwanis chapter which wasn’t able to hold their annual fundraiser.

Hundreds flock to Artisans’ Marketplace in G.C.

n light of the Sea Cliff Mini Mart’s cancellation this year, the Sea Cliff Farmers Market, Sea Cliff Arts Council and Cove City Arts came together to create a safe outdoor space where local artists can present their work and wares. The Glen Cove Creek Fall Artisans’ Marketplace brought hundreds to Garvies Point Road on Oct. 17 and ran concurrently with the Sea Cliff Farmers Market, which was just across the road. Over 20 local artisans sold handmade items to hundreds of people from throughout the North Shore and beyond, selling them anything from jewelry and clothing to furniture and much more. All proceeds from vendors’ fee were given to the Kiwanis Club of North Shore Long Island, which missed out on its biggest fundraising opportunity of the year due to Mini Mart’s cancellation.

Flourish set to open in summer of 2021 continued from front page which closed three years ago. The 1,700-square-foot building is essentially a “gut job,” Kravitz said, and it will take a great deal of work to get it to look the way she envisions. She said it would be a modern, bright and homey space, filled with antiques and artwork. Kravitz noted that her love for food is not the only reason she wants to open her own restaurant. She said restaurants can be difficult places to work in, particularly financially. All 15 of her employees will be paid sustainable wages, as Flourish is meant to embody everything she believes in as a businesswoman. Businesses will prosper when workers are treated well, she said. “The whole idea of opening my own place is chelsea Kravitz said she because I want people to hoped to bring great food and be able to do something a comfortable atmosphere to that they really enjoy and Glen Head with Flourish love, [to] have a life out of Bakeshop & All Day Café. it, to have a career out of it and have something sustainable out of it,” Kravitz said. Gold Coast Business Association President Steve Warshaw said Flourish should be a great addition to the area, noting there are few cafés in Glen Head. Additionally, since the restaurant will be so close to the Glen Head Long Island Railroad Station, commuters can pick up food on their way to work. Deborah Orgel-Gordon, a GCBA member and president of the North Shore Biz Network, said it is exciting to see someone take over the Iron Horse’s empty space. She said the hamlet’s last great bakeshop was the Glen Head Bakery, which closed 12 years ago. Not only will Flourish be an excellent addition to the area, she said, but it will likely not draw customers away from other nearby businesses. Orgel-Gordon added that Kravitz’s youth is another exciting aspect of Flourish’s opening. “It’s nice to see a new blood of people taking a chance on Glen Head and opening a business,” she said. Warshaw noted that opening a business is difficult at any time, but especially a restaurant amid a global pandemic. Kravitz said it has been “terrifying” to watch the restaurant industry struggle over the last seven months, but she is optimistic about her eatery’s future. “I’m trying to just have hope and faith that this is something that the community will really value and support and get behind,” Kravitz said. “Here’s hoping 2021 is better than 2020.”

Webinar educates about breast cancer on L.I. CloCkwise from top right: Skye Ostreicher, moderator; Karla Waldron, executive director of Mondays at Racine Cancer Center; Dr. Melissa Fana, chief of breast surgery at Northwell Health; Geri Barish, executive director of Hewlett House and president of 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition; and Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, discussed breast cancer causes, treatments and supports on Long Island during a Herald Inside LI webinar on Oct. 20.

By Briana Bonfiglio bbonfiglio@liherald.com

Three women embedded in the world of treatment and support for breast cancer patients and an environmental advocate spoke on the latest Herald Inside LI panel, a weekly webinar series on important topics affecting Long Islanders. The virtual discussion, hosted by RichnerLive, a division of Richner Communications, publisher of Herald Community Newspapers, focused on risk factors for breast cancer, treatments for the disease and ways to find emotional support after a diagnosis. Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment; Karla Waldron, executive director of Mondays at Racine; Dr. Melissa Fana, chief of breast surgery at Northwell Health; and Geri Barish, executive director of Hewlett House and president of 1 in 9: The Long Island Breast Cancer Action Coalition, engaged in a conversation on these topics for about 45 minutes on Oct. 20. Skye Ostreicher, of RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers, moderated the panel and delivered questions from viewers. Better Water sponsored the event, so aptly, Long Island’s drinking water was the first discussion topic. Jeannie Riccardo, CEO of Better Water, said she thought it was critical to sponsor this event to educate families about the importance of a having options for a good water-filtration system. “When people say to me, ‘Do you think there is a correlation between the environment and health?’ I don’t understand how anybody could say ‘no,’” Esposito said. She explained that Long Islanders receive their water from sole-source aquifers, which are underground stores of water hundreds of feet below the surface. This means that “everything we do on the surface of Long Island — we use pesticides, there’s a leaking gas station, a toxic waste dump site — all of that percolates down and mixes with the groundwater,” she said. She also explained that pesticides are hormone mimickers, so they mimic female hormones and block male hormones in the body. They are “designed to kill,” she said, so if people put them on their lawn to kill bugs or weeds, they should also think about what they are doing to humans. Fana noted that other risk factors for breast cancer include BRACA-1, BRACA-2 and other gene mutations, family history, having no children or few children late in life and not breastfeeding. “The amount of years that a woman has unopposed estrogen and progesterone increases the risk of breast cancer,” she said. “We know that on Long Island, there is a higher-than-average risk for breast cancer. We also realize that this risk is affected by certain chemical compounds.” “We have multiple roots of exposure on Long Island, and it is of concern,” Esposito said. “The good news is that today, as a minimum, if you don’t have a private well, that means your water is being tested at least four times per year or more, and if there’s something in your drinking water that exceeds the state or federal standard, the supplier is required to filter to at least those standards.” In the 1980s and ’90s, Esposito worked with Barish and

a group of women to create a pesticide registry on Long Island and raise awareness about what pesticides do to the drinking water and how that can cause certain cancers. “I think it was a great pairing for the breast cancer movement to match up with the environmental movement,” she said. Barish is a five-time cancer survivor — three times with breast cancer — and lost her mother to breast cancer. She also lost her son to Hodgkin’s disease. These experiences led her to find out why. She is now a community leader as president of Hewlett House and 1 in 9, which provide resources for residents in the county dealing with any kind of cancer diagnosis. She also continues to help raise awareness about the disease and its causes. “When people come in, they’re afraid,” she said. “They don’t have any idea about the different surgeries that they can have. “It’s truly about good education, getting the information out,” she added, noting that the organization educates young people about cancer and environmental causes. Waldron praised the work that Barish and Esposito have done to bring awareness to the environmental factors for cancer. “The more information we have as women,” Waldron said, “the better we all are. Information is power.” When someone gets a breast cancer diagnosis, they can also seek resources and free programming through Mondays at Racine, which offers one-on-one consultations, meditation, yoga, chair yoga, reiki, nutrition ser-

vices, beauty lessons and other support services at 16 different locations across Long Island. “Our programs aim at reducing anxiety,” Waldron said. “It’s nice that they don’t have to worry about money. They don’t have to worry about anything but themselves and get some of those services to help them be reminded of the beautiful person they truly are and not just this cancer diagnosis.” Mondays at Racine’s programs are both virtual and in person during this time, and they are more popular than ever since Covid-19 hit, she added. Covid-19 has also impacted breast cancer testing, Fana said. Technology systems have advanced at Northwell so patients do not need to wait long for results. They can also reach their doctors quickly through telemedicine and new online platforms. “It’s not likely to find a lot of positives through a pandemic,” Fana said, “but this is one of the positives that has come out of this unprecedented time.” Fana also expressed pride in Northwell’s combined mastectomy and vasectomy surgery, which includes reconstruction, so a patient who needs these procedures does not need to go through them more than once. Northwell also has a high-risk program, which calculates a patient’s lifetime risk for breast cancer. “I always tell patients, ‘Don’t worry, the city has come to you,’” she said. “You don’t have to go into the city for high-quality care.” Visit liherald.com/insideli to view a recording of this webinar and to register for upcoming webinars.

Town of Oyster Bay passes 2021 budget The Town of Oyster Bay Board voted unanimously to pass its 2021 budget on Tuesday. The budget is set to be $311.7 million, a roughly 1.7 percent increase over last year’s budget, which was $306.5 million. During a public budget hearing on Oct. 20, town finance director Robert Darienzo said the tax levy — the total amount the town must collect in taxes to meet expenses — would stay at $233 million. The town, he said, has also proposed to freeze taxes for the fourth year in a row, which would result in a total of $5.2 million staying in taxpayers’ pockets from 2018 until the end of 2021. He said the increase in the budget comes as a result of town salaries being up in the 2021 budget, largely due to contractual expenses, state-mandated increases in minimum wage and an increased reliance on part-time employees. One way in which the town plans to save money in 2021, Darienzo said, is by taking 75 town employees off the payroll. These employees agreed to take the retirement incentives offered by the town, he said, and new employees will

cal stress of municipalities. The town received high scores of fiscal stress in that program in most years between 2013 and 2018 but its fiscal stress is now low enough to be taken off the list entirely. Darienzo said the town has also received a bond rating increase this past year from Moody’s and a credit rating increase Standard & Poor’s. Councilman Steve Labriola noted that the town is doing its best to keep taxes down during and after the pandemic. The City of Glen Cove, he said, has proposed a tax hike of nearly nine percent in 2021. He added that he would not be surprised if the City of Long Beach followed suit. “Obviously, having a no tax increase budget is first and foremost on a lot of people’s minds,” Labriola said. “It’s a very difficult thing to raise taxes in a period of time where we have an economic downturn due to this pandemic, and I know that other municipalities around us are raising taxes.” “At a time when other municipal budgets are going out onto thin ice,” Saladino said, “the Town of Oyster Bay continues to get stronger and stronger with another year of no tax increase.”

’m basically the only social worker here at the Glen Cove Senior Center, and I also work with the Adult Day Program as well, so I do home assessments and initial assessments for people who want their loved one to join the Adult Day Program. During the pandemic I worked remotely for about six months. But I was still working every day at home, and I’ve been back now at the center for a couple of weeks, but it was just really different. First pandemic in my lifetime. As a social worker, I meet with people for counseling, for referrals, for assistance, for basically anything that somebody needs help with. We just try to help with anything. Sometimes people need help with food or food stamps or food shopping, for dealing with isolation and needing someone to talk to. Some of the people I work with don’t have computers so they don’t do the Zoom thing, but we want to offer as much support as possible for people who are isolated. There was also a lot of outreach during the pandemic. There were a lot of calls about people who weren’t members that needed help. We were able to get them food and referrals and just whatever they needed due to the isolation and physical limitations. It really was a crisis because some people live by themselves, and it’s difficult when you’re isolated and have physical limitations. How are you going to get your basic needs met? So we provided meals, and it was just whatever referrals I could do remotely.

’ve been at this program for 15 years, and I’ve been the director for 12 of them. I oversee the program. All facets of the program, I have to keep records of the staff, the participants. I welcome new people into the program. We do individual assessments with new families. I have to oversee the program in general, with all the events that take place. I have to represent the program at the county. I have to keep records on everything, keep statistics for the county, as Nassau County supervises us. We have a kitchen and food preparation; we have to take care of that. We also have bus transportation, so I need to oversee the bus transportation. There are many facets to the job, including staying connected to both our caregivers and our care receivers, whm we call our participants. These are frailer, older seniors who have some cognitive and/or physical challenges, and there are seniors who need a bit of supervision throughout the day, and that’s what we provide for them; we provide fully scheduled days of recreation, socialization and stimulation all around, and we’re very proud because we’re able to keep people aging in place at home and independently without having to go into a nursing home. In March we had to close, but I think within a week we had a plan that all of our staff would continue to call everybody at home, so we made a lot of phone calls. If anything, it deepened our relationships with our families because each of our staff spoke with different families almost on a daily basis.

LEGAL NOTICE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Sea Cliff will hold a public hearing with respect to the following proposed local law: Bill VSC 2007A - A local law to amend Chapter 121 of the Code of the Village of Sea Cliff, in relation to tree preservation and protection. Date of Hearing: November 9, 2020 Time of Hearing:7:00 pm Place of Hearing:

Information to identify the case: Debtor: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York EIN: 11-1837437 United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York Date case filed for chapter 11: 10/01/2020 Case Number: 20 - 12345 Official Form 309F1 (For Corporations or Partnerships) Notice of Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Case 10/20 For the debtor listed above, a case has been filed under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. An order for relief has been entered. This notice has important information about the case for creditors and debtors, including information about the meeting of creditors and deadlines. Read both pages carefully. The filing of the case imposed an automatic stay against most collection activities. This means that creditors generally may not take action to collect debts from the debtor or the debtor’s property. For example, while the stay is in effect, creditors cannot sue, assert a deficiency, repossess property, or otherwise try to collect from the debtor. Creditors cannot demand repayment from the debtor by mail, phone, or otherwise. Creditors who violate the stay can be required to pay actual and punitive damages and attorney’s fees. Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debt. A creditor who wants to have a particular debt excepted from discharge may be required to file a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk’s office within the deadline specified in this notice. (See line 11 below for more information.) To protect your rights, consult an attorney. All documents filed in the case may be inspected at the bankruptcy clerk’s office at the address listed below or through PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records at https://pacer.uscourts.gov). The staff of the bankruptcy clerk’s office cannot give legal advice. Do not file this notice with any proof of claim or other filing in the case. 1. Debtor’s Full name: The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rockville Centre, New York 2. All other names used in the last 8 years: Diocese of Rockville Centre 3. Address: 50 North Park Avenue, Rockville, NY 11570 4. Debtor’s attorney: Jones Day, Attn: Corinne Ball, 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY 11570, Phone: (212) 326 – 3939, Email: cball@jonesday.com 5. Bankruptcy clerk’s office: US Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York, One Bowling Green, New York, NY 10004-1408, Hours open: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM (ET) – 5:00 PM (ET), Contact phone: (212) 668 - 2870. Documents in this case may be filed at this address. You may inspect all records filed in this case at this office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. 6. Meeting of creditors: November 5, 2020 at 12 PM (ET), Location: The meeting of creditors will be conducted by telephone conference. The Office of the United States Trustee will provide dial-in instructions prior to the meeting. The debtor’s representative must attend the meeting to be questioned under oath. Creditors may attend, but are not required to do so. The meeting may be continued or adjourned to a later date. If so, the date will be on the court docket. 7. Proof of claim deadline. Deadline for filing of proof of claim: Not yet set. If a deadline is set, notice will be sent at a later time. A proof of claim is a signed statement describing a creditor’s claim. A proof of claim form may be obtained at www.uscourts.gov or any bankruptcy clerk’s office. Your claim will be allowed in the amount scheduled unless: your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated; you file a proof of claim in a different amount; or you receive another notice. If your claim is not scheduled or if your claim is designated as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, you must file a proof of claim or you might not be paid on your claim and you might be unable to vote on a plan. You may file a proof of claim even if your claim is scheduled. You may review the schedules at the bankruptcy clerk’s office or online at https://pacer.uscourts.gov. Secured creditors retain rights in their collateral regardless of whether they file a proof of claim. Filing a proof of claim submits a creditor to the jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, with consequences a lawyer can explain. For example, a secured creditor who files a proof of claim may surrender important nonmonetary rights, including the right to a jury trial. 8. Exception to discharge deadline: If § 523(c) applies to your claim and you seek to have it excepted from discharge, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint by the deadline stated below. The bankruptcy clerk’s office must receive a complaint and any required filing fee by the following deadline. Deadline for filing the complaint: To be determined 9. Creditors with foreign address: If you are a creditor receiving notice mailed to a foreign address, you may file a motion asking the court to extend the deadlines in this notice. Consult an attorney familiar with United States bankruptcy law if you have any questions about your rights in this case. 10. Filing a Chapter 11 bankruptcy case: Chapter 11 allows debtors to reorganize or liquidate according to a plan. A plan is not effective unless the court confirms it. You may receive a copy of the plan and a disclosure statement telling you about the plan, and you may have the opportunity to vote on the plan. You will receive notice of the date of the confirmation hearing, and you may object to confirmation of the plan and attend the confirmation hearing. Unless a trustee is serving, the debtor will remain in possession of the property and may continue to operate its business. 11. Discharge of debts: Confirmation of a chapter 11 plan may result in a discharge of debts, which may include all or part of your debt. See 11 U.S.C. § 1141(d). A discharge means that creditors may never try to collect the debt from the debtor except as provided in the plan. If you want to have a particular debt owed to you excepted from the discharge and § 523(c) applies to your claim, you must start a judicial proceeding by filing a complaint and paying the filing fee in the bankruptcy clerk’s office by the deadline.

Supporting small businesses boosts Nassau

he coronavirus pandemic forced the world to hit the pause button. It brought our local and regional economies to a screeching halt, and resulted in a sharp rise in unemployment. Businesses that were hit hard during the shutdown were forced to rethink their operations at a time when resources were scarce. I am proud of the role the Nassau County Industrial riCHArD DevelopKesseL ment Agency has played — and continues to play — in our county’s recovery. The IDA’s mission is to promote the economic welfare and prosperity of Nassau County. We do this by assisting existing businesses so they can stay in the county, and by working to attract new businesses. In both cases, our objective is to increase the county’s tax base and create job opportunities for our residents. Every transaction the IDA completes is carefully thought out, and is made to ensure that we create chances for our economy to develop. Contrary to opposing beliefs,

the IDA does not reduce businesses’ taxes. Let me explain. When you invest in a property, its value goes up and, therefore, so do its taxes. The IDA restructures tax payments for businesses looking to invest in our economy in what are called payments in lieu of taxes, or PILOTs. A drastic increase in property taxes due to an initial investment could make an investor walk away. What the IDA does is take away the immediate shock of increased taxes caused by the investment by gradually increasing taxes over the course of the PILOT term. At no point are less taxes collected than what was previously being paid on the property. Take the recently approved Superblock project in Long Beach as an example. The property — which will soon be home to more than 400 units of much-needed housing, and will create jobs and stimulate local business activity — has sat vacant for more than 40 years. If it were to stay vacant for the next 25 years, it would generate $7.4 million in taxes. The developer received a 25-year PILOT to make a $360 million investment, which will end up

generating more than $23 million in taxes over the course of the agreement. This doesn’t include the positive economic impact that will be generated by those who move into the new housing units as they spend money in the community. Everything the IDA does is in the name of economic development — growing the tax base and generating jobs. A new set of needs emerged during the pandemic, as businesses were now required to spend money retrofitting operations and purchasing supplies they’d never needed before. The IDA stepped up to aid local businesses and downtowns, and thus the Boost Nassau program was born. Early in the pandemic, we launched an ad campaign with our sister organization, the Local Economic Assistance Corporation, to promote shopping local and the importance of doing it safely. We also partnered with County Executive Laura Curran and Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin to deliver thousands of personal protective equipment kits to small businesses to ensure that employees and their customers could work and shop safely.

he county’s Industrial Development Agency has helped out at a crucial time.

Providing the PPE kits gave our struggling small businesses the physical resources they needed to remain open, while removing the financial burden of having to pay for those supplies. Assisting small retailers and local downtowns is new to us, for the simple reason that, up until recently, state law prohibited us from doing so. Curran and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky worked tirelessly to get legislation passed that gave IDAs the temporary authority to issue grants and loans to small businesses. Through the New York Forward Loan Fund program, in partnership with the Nassau County Office of Community Development, more than $520,000 has been lent to small businesses in sectors that include construction, electric, painting, health, beauty supply and gas. These loans have helped businesses retain 18 jobs and led to the creation of six more. And we’re just getting started. While our day-to-day lives look different these days, one thing has stayed the same: The Nassau IDA has worked, and continues to work, to ensure that businesses and our economy are supported through this pandemic and come out strong once it is over. Richard Kessel is chairman of the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency.

Please, Governor Cuomo, reopen comedy clubs To the Editor: I re c e n t ly w ro t e t o G ov. Andrew Cuomo in the hope that he would consider allowing Long Island comedy clubs to reopen. I had read that he believes live entertainment could be a cause of Covid-19 spread. For seven weeks over the summer, however, the Nassau County fire marshal, fire inspector and Health Department allowed Governors Comedy Clubs to open after touring our facilities and reviewing our safety procedures, which far exceed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines. Not one case of the virus was traced back to our three venues in those seven weeks. Our clubs have operated in our communities for more than

30 years. We have known our comedians since they were starting out (some are very famous now), our families work in the clubs, and the same customers come back night after night. We are part and parcel of the Long Island landscape. I am asking Governor Cuomo to trust in our ability to continue to run the same great and safe establishments that we always have, while implementing Covid-19 safety measures. I have sent our safety protocols to the governor’s office, and I was told that his office received not only our protocols, but also a ringing endorsement from Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, who toured our facilities. The governor has stated that an entertainer can spew respiratory droplets from the stage. We, however, have encased all our stages, including our outdoor stage on our patio, in floor-to-ceiling Plexiglas, and our closest table is nine feet from the per-

former. If a comedian were to come out onto one of our stages with a running hose and point it at our customers, no one would get wet. The governor has also objected to “funneling,” in which everyone in an establishment leaves together. In the weeks when we operated, though, we tapped the tables that could leave, one at a time, and announced that protocol before the show to avoid a crowd of patrons leaving at once. Our clubs are closed now. We have no source of income to offset our rent, property taxes and utilities. I would settle for breaking even, because at 50 percent

capacity, you can only break even, at best, but that would at least keep our doors open and people working, and we would stay relevant in our community. We used to hold fundraisers for severely ill children, those suffering from chronic diseases, public servants, first responders and front-line workers, which cannot we do at the moment. Comedy clubs, I believe, are needed now more than ever. JAmES DOLCE Owner and operator, Governors Comedy Clubs Levittown

CorreCTion An editorial in the Oct 15-21 issue of the Herald, “Breast screening still a must, despite pandemic,” listed an incorrect web address for the Adelphi NY

Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline. The correct address is https:// breast-cancer.adelphi.edu/. We regret the error.

opinions

s I watch the final days of the election campaign, I keep thinking about the words of writerphilosopher George Santayana, who said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” The aphorism can be applied to four presidents, including Donald J. Trump. Lyndon Johnson was by any measure a president who had a major impact on American history, with the passage of the Civil Rights Act and other significant laws. But Johnson ignored the swirl of negativity that the pubJeRRY lic felt about the kReMeR Vietnam War. By the time he faced re-election, our country had lost over 250,000 soldiers, and the war ended his political career. George H.W. Bush was a patriot and a statesman when he was elected president. He paid great attention to foreign policy, and successfully ousted Saddam Hussein’s Iraqi forces from Kuwait. He also removed Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from power.

But while Bush claimed numerous successes abroad, he failed to focus on the American economy, which was in rapid decline. His most fatal declaration was, “Read my lips: No new taxes.” In the middle of his term, the Congress passed a tax increase, which Bush signed into law, and he lost his bid for re-election. President George W. Bush had many accomplishments during his tenure. He pushed through a $1.3 trillion tax cut and was responsible for the No Child Left Behind Act. He delivered the Partial Birth Abortion Act for the conservative wing of the Republican Party. We remember his “war on terror” after the Sept. 11 attacks. But history is not always kind, and a few significant mistakes blemished Bush’s record and stuck in the minds of the public. His invasion of Iraq in 2003, based on the claim that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction, turned out to be an unforgivable political mistake, and Bush botched the response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as well. It is now voters’ turn to decide wheth-

er they will give President Trump four more years. He can point to the economy before the coronavirus pandemic began, and his success in getting many conservative judges appointed to the federal courts. These claims are politically appealing to different wings of the Republican Party. But Trump can’t escape his bungled handling of the Covid-19 virus. Just like George H.W. Bush was forced to eat his promise of “no new taxes,” Trump will likely regret repeatedly saying that the virus will disappear, “like magic.” As of this week, the death toll in the U.S. has passed 225,000, and there has been no comprehensive federal response. The president continues to insist that his travel ban on visitors from China was somehow a turning point in the battle against the coronavirus, but he can’t escape his own words in interviews with Bob Woodward, when he acknowledged knowing how serious the virus was but publicly downplaying it. Each day, it seems, more stories emerge about Trump’s attempts to muzzle public health experts. His wild sug-

hile more people are dying each day, Trump says we’re ‘rounding the corner.’

gestions about the use of disinfectants and hydroxychloroquine to “cure” the virus have undermined his public standing. His insistence on holding large rallies with largely maskless crowds has alarmed many of his own supporters, who are going to great lengths to avoid the virus. While political polls are never a perfect barometer of the public’s feelings, an incumbent politician who ignores voters’ concerns about something as serious as Covid-19 does so at his peril. While more people are dying each day, Trump is telling the nation that “we’re rounding the corner” on the virus. He claims that the majority of the country likes his tweets and his handling of the government, but the pandemic is the No. 1 concern of the nation, and there is no way to escape its potential impact on his Election Day fortunes. If he loses, Covid-19 will be in the first sentence of his political obituary. 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.

Vote your mind, your heart and your soul

hen I was in third grade, Mrs. Heller told me I needed to grow an “elephant” skin because I cried when someone said something mean to me. So it was ironic to be an opinion writer in the time of Trump. I’m thinking of the reader who took the time to write to say that I was ugly and probably had no friends. She got all that from my political views. What can I say? It’s been an interRAndi esting four years. kReiss This is my last column before the election, and I don’t imagine I’ll change any minds this week, one way or the other, but I keep hoping I might. I spend my 750 words to offer one person’s considered views on this, the most critical election of our lifetime. An opinion column doesn’t have to present both sides of an issue. For example, if we’re discussing separating babies from their parents at our southern borders, a straight news report might include details about the great

numbers of migrants moving north and the difficulties faced by border agents. But as an opinion writer, my mind leaps to historical metaphors, to other crimes against children and families perpetrated by other governments wielding clubs rather than compassion in the face of human suffering. I recall that we Americans have a troubled past of separating Native American children from their families, and if the arc of justice bends toward enlightenment, then we must shudder at the images of infants and babies in cages in facilities run by the United States of America. The news last week that some 545 children have never been reunited with their parents puts a pin in it for me. In his lingo, Donald J. Trump has sullied the American “brand.” From his first day in office, he shamed himself and our country in the eyes of the world. An easy and epic liar, he said what worked in the moment, truth be damned. At times he has seemed out of control, snapping and biting not only at his perceived enemies, but at the country’s own loyal and diligent public servants in the FBI and the CIA and the

CDC and all the other agencies that have kept us safe through the years. There are two tracks to follow: what Trump says and what he does. They are often not the same, which has contributed to the chaos within his administration and frankly, within us. He promised to clean up politics in Washington, and proceeded to empower compromised and sometimes corrupt deputies and lackeys. He said he loved clean water and air, and proceeded to disembowel the Environmental Protection Agency and deregulate the industries that contribute to pollution. He said that no one since Lincoln had been better for American Blacks than he has. But he turned his back on every single initiative to empower them, increase minority voting and acknowledge the injustices of decades of racism in this country. We know the list goes on of the discordance between what he says and what he does. The catastrophic exception has been Covid-19. Early on, he said it was no big deal, and he followed through. He. Did. Nothing. There was no plan, no organizing of resources, no testing when we

ow ironic it is for a once thinskinned thirdgrader to be an opinion writer.

first needed it, and most important, no honest discussion with the American people about the deadly challenge ahead. What he said about the coronavirus in January and February was that it would go away. Last week, as Joe Biden and the president stood at their respective lecterns for the last debate of the campaign, this nation was mourning the loss of more than 220,000 Americans who had died of the virus. Never in the history of this country has one president been so directly implicated in the massive death and suffering of our people. He has been inept in the face of pandemic, willfully misleading and woefully ignorant. If Biden wins, he will get to work and do the job, and I trust he will bring together teams of our best and brightest to restore decency and competency to government. We need relief from this ongoing travesty. We need to reboot the great natural and political and personal resources that abide in this country. We need to lick our wounds and move on, with new leadership. Vote early. Don’t give up on this country. Don’t give up on democracy. Let the best man win. Copyright 2020 Randi Kreiss.

and Democratic parties to ensure the best interests of all New Yorkers are represented. In June, he joined 3,000 people who marched in a Black Lives Matter peaceful protest in Glen Cove, his hometown. And he has been vocal in his support of repealing Civil Rights Law 50-A, thus allowing the public to access law enforcement disciplinary records, the first step to increasing police accountability. Challenger Andrew Monteleone’s belief that it is important to work on both sides of the aisle is spot on, but he has no experience as an elected official, so he is not prepared to run for state office. Lavine is heavily involved in the community that he represents. We think he has earned the right to continue his work, and we encourage you to vote for him next Tuesday.

Re-elect Montesano in the 15th A.D.

or the past decade, State Assemblyman Michael Montesano, a Republican from Glen Head, has expertly served the constituents of the 15th District. His experience as a New York City police detective, teacher and attorney has combined to provide an excellent foundation for leadership and policy-making, and the Herald Gazette endorses his re-election. To help facilitate an economic recovery in his district from the devastation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Montesano focuses on specifics. Organizations have different recovery needs, whether it be tax or regulatory relief or direct financial assistance, and he wants to help businesses and nonprofits get back on their feet as quickly as possible. Montesano has also been a vocal proponent of public water on the North Shore, listening to residents and advocating for them in the Assembly. A bill that would establish a public water author-

nomic shortfalls that the coronavirus pandemic has caused by developing economic plans with business organizations and chambers of commerce throughout the 5th S.D. Keeping young people in New York is also a priority of his, which will mean finding ways to make housing more affordable. Edmund Smyth, Gaughran’s challenger, also brought some excellent ideas to the table and has the district’s best interests at heart, especially when it comes to helping small businesses recover from the pandemic. We encourage him to stay active as a member of the Town of Huntington Board of Trustees and to continue to develop as a leader. Gaughran’s résumé would be impressive for a seasoned veteran of the Senate. He has accomplished much in just two years, and we believe voters can expect more good things to come, and should show their support for him next Tuesday.

earing and then considering opinions different from one’s own in a very divided country is what is needed most among our elected leaders. Where divisiveness has become the norm, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi has worked hard to reach across the aisle as vice president of the Problem Solvers Caucus in Congress. For this reason, and many more, the Herald enthusiastically endorses Suozzi, a Democrat from Glen Cove, in the 3rd Congressional District. Recognizing the devastation that the coronavirus has caused for so many business owners, Suozzi worked tirelessly last spring to pass the Heroes Act, legislation that would provide billions of dollars of direct relief to the live entertainment industry, which is now largely Tom shuttered, as well as the restaurant and hospitality industries, demonstrating that Suozzi has never lost sight of our local needs on Long Island. Although Senate Republicans have blocked the Heroes Act, Suozzi remains hopeful, saying often that if the lawmakers would just sit down and talk with one another, the act would pass. Suozzi has pushed to eliminate the federal $10,000 cap on the income-tax deduction for state

and local taxes, which President Trump instituted in 2017 as part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Previously, the deduction was unlimited. Many Long Islanders now pay thousands more in federal taxes because of the loss of that single deduction. Suozzi noted that the Democratically led House passed a measure to eliminate the deduction cap as part of the Heroes Act, and his vocal advocacy, in tandem with that of Rep. Peter King, a Republican from Seaford, clearly made a difference in ensuring the measure was included in the House’s proposed coronavirus aid package. Without elimination of the deduction cap, Suozzi noted, many New Yorkers will continue to flee to states with lower local taxes. The congressman also worries that Suozzi the federal government will not provide enough coronavirus aid to school districts. Suozzi is fighting to make sure schools get all the funds they need, but he admits that Democrats like him have been unable to convince Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell or President Trump to budge on aid for local municipalities. Suozzi is not giving up, however. There is no doubt that he’s a fighter. At the same time, Suozzi has fought to protect

our local environment. In September, he called on the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to re-examine permitting for the hydraulic shellfish dredging of clams and oysters in the Oyster Bay Harbor and Mill Neck Creek. Environmental groups, including Citizens Campaign for the Environment and Earthjustice, have joined members of the North Oyster Bay Baymen Association to stop hydraulic dredging. And Suozzi is one of the original co-sponsors of the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act, written to increase police accountability across the country, while eliminating chokeholds nationally. The measure passed the House, but is stalled in the Senate. Suozzi said he believes systemic racism is real across the country, and he is pro-police reform. At the same time, he says that he supports law enforcement officers, noting that the two thoughts are not incompatible. Although George Santos, who has never run for public office, did offer some interesting ideas, including a plan to incentivize large corporations to invest in a program to help small business owners, he needs more political experience before running for U.S. representative. Suozzi, who is well known to Nassau voters as a former county executive and City of Glen Cove mayor, is one of the good guys in Congress, and that is why we urge readers to re-elect him this year.
