Seaford wins county soccer title in OT By VINCENT MATUlA sports@liherald.com

Generals march to championship
Two teams that knew each other well, top-seeded Seaford and No. 3 Wheatley, faced off Oct. 27 for the Nassau Class B girls’ soccer title, and regulation time wasn’t enough to determine a champion. Freshman Kaylie Conklin was the overtime hero for the Vikings. She scored 12:30 into extra time to give Seaford a 1-0 victory over its conference rival. This was the third meeting between the teams this fall. Seaford took the first matchup on
the road, 2-0, and their most recent meeting, on the Vikings’ home field, ended in a scoreless draw. The story this time around, at Plainedge High School, was similar to that latest match, with no goals scored in 80 minutes. “We were just keeping up a strong fight,” Conklin said. “Our team just keeps fighting every time we go on the field. We never give up.” Conklin’s county championship-winning goal was set up by Ryleigh Nocera, a fellow freshman who, like Conklin, finished Continued on page 2

Inspiring the next generation of Lions Club members in school By MICHAEl MAlASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com
The newly formed, student-run Leos Club at Seaford High School is picking up right where the Lions Club leaves off, helping with much-needed charity work. The Lions Club is an international organization that is very active on Long Island, with chapters in Wantagh, Seaford and other villages and hamlets. The Lions Club’s original — and still primary — goal is fighting blindness, but it has expanded to offer many kinds of charity work worldwide. The group has gotten behind international aid
efforts, including recently sending assistance directly to clubs in Ukraine with no overhead fee, according to Charles Wroblewski of the Seaford Lions Club, and the same was done for the clubs of Wantagh and Seaford when Hurricane Sandy hit 10 years ago. George Brennan, president of the Seaford Lions Club, has laid out its goals very clearly — to cure world blindness, to help others in need, and to be good citizens in the community. Essentially, the Lions Club is a global mutual aid organization that has expanded its causes. And this year, as the Seaford Lions celebrated 70 years Continued on page 4

THE VIKINGS woRKED overtime to defeat Wheatley, 1-0, for the Nassau Class B championship on Oct. 27.
A dramatic overtime victory for Vikings continued from front page in the top three on the team in scoring during the regular season. “I saw Ryleigh make her outside run, and when she got the ball, I knew she’s one of the fastest players in the county, so I just tried to get in a position to receive the ball,” Conklin said. “I believe me and Ryleigh help impact each other during the game and create so many opportunities together.” Those opportunities for the Vikings were prominent in the opening half, as they managed four corner kicks, creating plenty of chances to score and feeling good about themselves early on. “In the opening 20 minutes, we were real comfortable,” Seaford coach Ken Botti said. “From that early confidence, it just looked like we were settling in and we were playing a better game than we did on Monday” in the semifinals. The Vikings had three more corner kicks in the second half for a total of seven, but had no goals to show for it. “I knew the opportunities were going to come,” Botti said. “You got to do the best you can with these great opportunities.” Despite not converting on the corners and being stopped on 13 shots in regulation, the message for Seaford remained the same in overtime as it did in regulation. “We were not ready to have the season end,” Conklin said. “Every single person on the team contributes, and we are so lucky to have each other.” Seaford sophomore goalkeeper Joanna “JoJo” Bello did her part, making 11 saves in over 92 minutes of play in an emotional contest in which mental sharpness was a key factor. “Our team keeps each other focused,” Bello said. “We’re always calling out to each other and making sure we’re organized and ready for the play.”
Media Origin Inc./Herald
Seaford celebrated after knocking off Wheatley in overtime to capture the Nassau Class B title. While Bello pitched a shutout, the defense around her was also a big reason why the Vikings were able to keep Wheatley off the board. “We wouldn’t be where we are without such a strong back line,” Bello said. “Amanda Etinger, Arianna Garcia and Amanda Williamson shut down many of the chances Wheatley had throughout the
game.” Now 13-1-1 overall, Seaford will look to add one more trophy to its collection when it plays Babylon this Saurday at Berner Middle School, in Massapequa, for the Long Island Class B championship and a trip to the state tournament.

The full casT of Wantagh High School’s “Radium Girls,” which will premiere on Nov. 18 and run until Nov. 20.
‘Radium Girls’ hopes to send a message
Drama, starring high school students, has themes of corporate power and exploitation By MIchael MalasZcZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com
Y
ou don’t have buy tickets to a Broadway play to see some quality, passion-driven theater. Wantagh High School’s production of “Radium Girls” is scheduled to premiere on Nov. 18. Both Wantagh and Seaford high schools’ theater programs emerged unscathed from the COVID-19 pandemic, and both returned triumphant in the 2021-22 school year in some capacity. Wantagh returned with a masked performance of the drama, “The Outsiders,” in the fall, and a performance of the musical, “Crazy for You,” in the spring, while Seaford returned with the musical, “The Addams Family,” last spring. Now, Wantagh High School will be performing its first unmasked non-musical play in three years. “Radium Girls” is set to premiere on Nov. 18 and will run all weekend until Nov. 20. Inspired by a true story, “Radium Girls” is set in the 1920s and tells the tale of Grace Fryer, a woman who works as a dial painter, fighting for her day in court as the women she works with begin to fall ill with a mysterious disease. Arthur Roeder, the women’s boss, desperately tries to stop her efforts. The women apparently contracted radiation poisoning from self-luminous paint, which was referred to as “radium painting.” The radium was previously thought to be medicinal, since radiation therapy is still used to treat tumors. But it brings its own dangers with it as well. “The paint glowed in the dark,” Kimberly Davis, Wantagh High School English teacher and the show’s director, said. “And before they knew about the poisoning, they thought radium was a miracle cure because it actually shrunk the size of tumors. But then they started develop-

Despite it being a period drama, Davis said she feels that it has themes which are applicable to present-day issues. “It’s a question of who’s protecting us,” Davis said. “Who do we trust? Do we trust science? Do we trust corporations? Whose responsibility is it to take care of people? It is also about justice for these girls who died horribly at the hands of their employers, who did nothing about it.” Davis’s two leads are looking forward to the premiere of “Radium Girls.” Anthony Lerro, a junior at Wantagh High School, plays Arthur Roeder, the primary antagonist in the play. Roeder is
the women’s boss, and therefore directly responsible for their long term exposure to the radium. Roeder also attempts to stop the women from having their day in court, going as far as to doctor reports about radium’s dangers. “He’s supposed to be disliked,” Lerro said. “And he does terrible things. But he also tries to remain moral in an immoral environment, which breaks him down and causes him to make all the wrong choices.” Lerro added that in order to relate to such a despicable character like Roeder, he had to find the good in him to give a believable and relatable performance. “I try to latch on to the fact that he is a family man on the other side of it,” Lerro said. “And that’s what should connect him with the audience and keep him somewhat human.”
Lerro still has some time to figure out what he wants to study in college. While he most likely does not want to pursue theater, he will likely continue with it as a hobby. Trinity Bokelmann, a senior, plays Grace Fryer, the play’s protagonist. Fryer goes through a series of transitions in the show as the truth about radium slowly comes out, and eventually leads the charge in getting the workers a measure of justice. “She starts out believing in the science very strongly,” Bokelmann said. “Without spoiling much, as time passes, she begins questioning the science and eventually becomes outspoken about the issues.” Bokelmann added that her character starts out very obedient to authority, but as the science behind radium changes, Fryer begins to change as well. “She is a very dynamic character,” Bokelmann said. “Sometimes she’s funny, sometimes she’s serious. She comes across as innocent and naïve, but she’s not. She’s also quite independent for women of her time.” Bokelmann said she does not know where she is going to attend college yet, but wants to study theater wherever she goes. “Whenever I take on any kind of role, I always try to keep myself a part of it,” she said. “Grace Fryer could not be more opposite to me on paper, but I look for the kind of things that I can relate to and it helps — it become a much more natural performance.” All the cast members said they are looking forward to the premiere on Nov. 18. “We really have incredible talent here,” Davis said. “These kids are working really hard. They’re super dedicated. And I’m excited for them to get this opportunity to really show off their skill in a challenging play.”
Leos aim to increase student charity work continued from front page of service, the organization is making an investment in the future with the creation of the Leos Club. The club is in its first full year of operation at Seaford High School, though it began in concept this spring. “We were contacted about it in May by the Seaford Lions Club,” John Panus, an English teacher and Leos Club supervisor, said. “It had been something the Lions Club had wanted to start for years. We had a small interest meeting in June to help it get off the ground for this year.” The meeting was a huge success, and now the Leos Club has between 100 and 120 charitytaylor difondi minded students participating in it. Steven Anusiak, a life skills co-president, teacher who is also helping to Leos Club run the student club, said he is pleased with this turnout and thankful to the Lions Club for getting this started. “We had a huge number of people sign up,” Anusiak said. “I think that’s thanks to Mr. Panus and thanks to the positive notoriety of the Lions Club.” A select number of students serve on its board, saying that their biggest immediate goal is to make the Leos Club sustainable at Seaford High School. “We want to set a good foundation for future years, since this is our first year,” William Cassio, senior at Seaford High School and one of the club’s co-presidents, said. “We know that maybe some of our initiatives won’t be so grand this year, but our main goal is to set a good basis for what this club stands for to give future generations of Leos to build upon.” Like its parent organization, the Leos Club’s baseline

We’ve also sent some aid to Ukraine.” The other students on the board said they are thrilled with this opportunity and feel the Leos Club is unique in how it inspires people to simply do good. “I’m in this club because I saw it as an opportunity to help others,” Dylan Malone, a sophomore at Seaford High, said. “Helping people has always interested me.” “I wanted to get more involved in my community,” Katie Kofod, a junior, added. “Maybe next year I’ll run
for an officer’s position.” “I’ve been doing volunteer stuff since middle school,” Brady McGowan, also a junior, said. “So when I saw there’s a new opportunity for me to do more of it, I jumped on it.” According to Panus, Anusiak and the student board, while their big goal this year is to lay the foundation, they want to work on a big community project and are in the process of zeroing in on what that will be. “It truly is a student-run club,” DiFondi said. “We have Mr. Panus and Mr. Anusiak, who are great mentors, but it’s really in our hands. We have the power to do whatever good work we want.”

Honoring businesses that stay family By WIll sheelIne wsheeline@liherald.com
B
usinesses are family. Many times, that comes simply by the closeness of everyone involved. But then there are businesses that truly are families. RichnerLive and PSEG Long Island celebrated those amazing companies that keep the economic engines running in our communities at its annual Herald Family Business Awards last week over dinner, photos and networking. The Business Award — hosted by Jill Nicolini — serve as a chance to honor entrepreneurial families who manage successfully growing businesses. This includes everything from small mom-and-pop shops, to multinational and multigenerational corporations. The event was held at the Heritage Club in Bethpage, and brought business owners from all over the island to enjoy a meal, fine drinks and celebrating numerous awards in a wide Mark CronIn range of categories. Mark and John Cronin were co-founder, John’s happy to be back at the Heritage Crazy Socks Club in Bethpage. They are the father-son duo behind John’s Crazy Socks, and were happy to come out on the other side of the Covid-19 pandemic stronger than ever. “It’s wonderful,” Mark Cronin said. “It’s nice to see family businesses recognized after all that’s happened.” It’s also a sign that — hopefully — the pandemic is now in the rearview mirror, allowing many — like Anne Shybunko-Moore — to focus on the future. The owner and chief executive of GSE Dynamics, did take a moment to reflect on the legacy of her late father, who had founded and built the company, and how great it would have been to share this particular evening — and success — with him. “He was the legacy that we’re honoring tonight, so this is very timely to pause and think about the founding of this company,” Shybunko-Moore said. “Now I’m a mother of four sons, and we’ve just been talking about trying to get to the next level and pass the baton on to the next generation.” Stew Leonard Jr., president and chief executive of the popular supermarket chain that bears his name, delivered a keynote reflecting on the joys — and occasional headaches — of running a family business. “You know, in family business, you got to love it, and you got to hate it,” he said, jokingly. “To be able to work with your family is such a rich experience. I love it, and hopefully we’ll be able to pass that on to the next generation.” Family is exactly what Stuart Richner, publisher of Herald Community Media, also knows all too well. “Leading a family company myself, I know how important it is to create an environment where everyone in the business is part of the family,” Richner said. “These are bonds fostered in achieving success, and making it meaningful.” In between drinks at a rotating wheel of hors d’oeuvres, attendees shared with each other different ways they had managed through the darkest days of the pandemic. “Family businesses are the lifeline to every community,” David Lyons, president and chief operating officer of PSEG Long Island said, told the crowd in a statement. “In addition to creating jobs and providing employment and career opportunities, they put money back into our local community through paychecks and taxes, supporting local businesses and services. They also contribute to the

The camaraderie, grit and creativity found in family businesses, she said, can’t be replicated anywhere else. That ability to stick together and come up with solutions under pressure is what makes family-run companies so unique. “I think for those that are here today it is very much a celebration of being able to cautiously be back together, in-person, but also a way to show respect for what we’ve had to persevere through,” Armentano said, “whether it’s been supply-chain issues, issues with their work-
force, or just general challenges from Covid.” The presenting sponsor for Herald Family Business Awards was PSEG Long Island, with Easy Tax Credits as a major sponsor. Partner sponsorships included Vishnick McGovern and Milizio, Lessing’s Hospitality Group, Whitmore Agency, The Bruderman Family of Companies, Maple Lanes RVC, PBI Payroll and Paraco Gas.

The old sports adage that defense wins championships was again proven true by MacArthur’s historic girls’ soccer season. Goalkeeper Lexie Thompson stopped five shots to extend her school shutout record to 30 and Kaitlyn Tung and Hailey Metzger scored goals as the top-seeded Generals captured their first Nassau Class A championship in three years by blanking offensive powerhouse Garden City 2-0 at Cold Spring Harbor High School last Saturday afternoon. MacArthur (13-0-2) will face either East Islip or Shoreham Wading River for the Long Island title this Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at Berner Middle School in Massapequa. “It’s great,” said MacArthur first-year coach Steve Costello, who was also a county champion as the school’s baseball manager. “These girls are such fantastic people. I cared less about the championship and more about getting it for them. They deserve to be county champs.” Garden City (13-3-2) outscored its opponents 14-0 during its playoff journey and buzzed around the MacArthur net multiple times early in the first half but couldn’t capitalize on its chances. Tung, though, did with just over 21 minutes remaining before the break by converting a partial breakaway with two Trojan defenders bearing down on her. “I saw the ball come in and it was going a little over [the defender’s] head and I knew she couldn’t get a touch on it,” Tung said of her ninth goal. “I just had to stay composed. I saw the goalie coming out and right when she took that step off that line I just slipped it right past her.” The Trojans nearly tied it with just over two minutes remaining in the first half when midfielder Catherine Hayes, the only player to solve Thompson this season, lofted a ball from the right-wing side of the 14-yard line. Thompson was knocked over during the ensuing scrum, but the MacArthur defense eventually cleared the ball out of harm’s way. “I took a bit of a hard fall [and] landed on my side,” Thompson recalled. “It was just a little bruise, but it will heal.”

KaitlYN tUNg sCoReD in the first half to provide the eventual winning goal in the Generals’ county championship game victory over Garden City. Thompson’s other big save came with about 28 minutes left, when she dove to punch away Emily Romeo’s attempt from the right wing. “It makes the win that much better when it’s a shutout,” Thompson said. “It’s a team effort, but there’s nothing better than keeping [the shutouts] up the whole season.” The defensive corps of Meghan Wetzel, Caitlin Barry, Ava Angiuli and Hallie Bray helped by continually clearing the ball and breaking up plays to the point where Costello thought the Trojan offense grew “exhausted” down the stretch. “This was the best game we played all year against anyone,” he said. Metzger sealed it with just under 17
minutes left when her arcing shot from near the left hashmark found the top-right corner of the net. The junior recognized that the team was getting close to putting the game away and she was more than happy to do the honors. “We had to keep shooting because each person that took a shot on the field got so close,” Metzger said. “I took it and it went in.” Playoff heroics are nothing new for Metzger, who notched the team’s only goal against Plainedge in the semifinals and also scored as an eighth grader in the 2019 final win over Mepham. “I think I play good under pressure,” she said. “Hard work pays off and everybody contributed today.”

The rock legends visit Long Island with ex-Grand Funk Railroad frontman Mark Farner on their current tour. Pioneering the heavy metal style while providing inspiration to psychedelic jam bands and arena rockers alike, the genre-bending band offers a taste of the wild side. They’ve been known to incorporate elements of science-fiction and dark occultism into their jaw-dropping live show, and this allegiance to dynamic and masterful performances has led to the group being covered by everyone from Metallica and HIM to moe. Blue Öyster Cult occupies a unique place in rock history because it’s one of very few hard rock/heavy metal bands to earn both genuine mainstream critical acclaim as well as commercial success.

Everyone strives for the “Perfect Thanksgiving.” It can be anything you want it to be: so traditional it makes you homesick, or so creative and nouvelle that it results in special new Thanksgiving memories for all who attend. Still, certain traditions remain. Especially the centerpiece of the Thanksgiving meal: turkey. If there is one annual event where the same succulent dishes are demanded by diners, it is Thanksgiving. What would this celebration be without the smell of roast turkey wafting through the house? What would “Uncle Jim” say if he could not slather cranberry sauce over the top of the brown meat? There must be gravy and mashed potatoes! And stuffing! These are the dishes that make Thanksgiving a memorable repast.
Roast Turkey with Cranberry Fruit Dressing Turkey: • 14-16 pound whole turkey, fresh or frozen (thawed) • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, as needed • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter • 2 medium onions, chopped • 16 ounces jellied cranberry sauce • 1/3-cup light brown sugar
Remove giblet (discard liver), neck and any visible fat from turkey; reserve for stock. Rinse turkey with cold running water and drain well. Blot dry with paper towels. Season inside and outside of turkey with salt and pepper. Tie drumsticks together and twist wing tips behind the back. Place turkey, breast side up, on a wire roasting rack (sprayed with non-stick cooking spray) in shallow pan. Cover loosely with foil. Roast turkey in a preheated 325-degree F oven about 2-1/2 hours, basting with pan juices. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat and cook onions with salt and pepper, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes or until very soft. (If onions begin to brown, lower heat.) Stir in cranberry sauce and sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Remove foil and pour glaze over bird. Continue to roast ½ to 1-¼ hours or until the thermometer registers 180-degree F in the thigh and 170-degree F in the breast. Remove turkey from oven. Allow turkey to rest for 10-15 minutes before carving.
sauce, sage, thyme and turkey broth. Coat a 2-quart oven-proof dish with nonstick vegetable cooking spray. Spoon dressing in dish and bake uncovered at 325-degree F for 40 to 45 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165-degree F.
Dressing: • 3 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix • 2 cups mixed dried fruit, chopped • 1 cup celery, chopped • 2/3 cup onion, chopped • 1 cup whole cranberry sauce • 1/2 teaspoon ground sage • 1/2 teaspoon thyme • 1-1/2 cups turkey broth or reduced-sodium chicken bouillon • Vegetable cooking spray
Wash off the cranberries and look for any that may be past their prime and discard. Bring the water and sugar to a boil in a saucepan. Stir to dissolve the sugar completely. Add the cranberries and allow the water to return to a boil. Reduce the heat and allow the mixture to cook until the cranberries burst. Stir until the mixture resembles a thick sauce with chunks of fruit. Allow to cool, then place in the refrigerator. The sauce will thicken as it cools further.
In medium-size bowl combine stuffing mix, dried fruit, celery, onion, cranberry
Classic Cranberry Sauce This year skip the canned cranberry jelly and go for fresh sauce. It’s very easy to make. • 1 cup water or orange juice (or pomegranate juice) • 1 cup sugar • 4 cups fresh cranberries

Decade after Sandy, officials want to be prepared By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com
It’s been a decade since Hurricane Sandy devastated Nassau County. Yet, instead of showcasing what could’ve easily been the worst moments of many people’s lives — instead it displayed their perseverance. “We saw the very best in people,” said Hempstead town councilman Anthony D’Esposito, who was chief of the Island Park Fire Department at the time. “We saw the very best of the people that wear a uniform — whether as a career or as volunteers — putting their community first.” D’Esposito joined Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder and others during a commemoration ceremony last week, recalling many of those heroic stories in the face of a horrific storm. The councilman recalled one specific incident where a house burned in the middle of a flooded street. He had to do everything he could to stop the whole block from igniting, so his Island Park firefighting unit had no choice but to drive their truck straight through the house to destroy it. That allowed floodwaters to drown what remained of the blaze. Ryder remembers October 2012 as a very difficult month for the county police force after already losing Officers Joseph Olivieri and Arthur Lopez before being called up to help with Hurricane Sandy rescue. The commissioner recalls sitting in church with his family when that alert came. At first, Ryder was only given command of roughly 100 officers. But when the Sandy’s major surge hit, Ryder found himself in command of National Guardsmen, detectives, police officers and state troopers. With the chance another storm could pummel Long

NASSAu CouNtY ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman delivers remarks on the 10th anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, joined by Tatum Fox, Steve Rhoads, Anthony D’Esposito, Rabbi Shalom Axelrod, and the Rev. John Tutone. Behind them are Girl Scout Gold Award recipient Emerson Lucatorto and Liz Ryan of the Nassau County Police Department. Island, Blakeman ran an emergency drill through his executive management office. “We had people thinking outside the box, working together as partners to make sure that people in Nassau County were safe,” Ryder said. “That’s the message and lessons that we’ve learned from Sandy. We know the next one will come, but we will be better prepared.” Fire Marshal Mike Uttaro looked back at the actual Sandy response, remembering the camaraderie. “We worked with teams we’ve never had before,” he said. “We had fire departments from the Adirondacks coming down in shifts to help the fire departments of the South Shore.” That was a team that included Richard Corbett, now
the emergency management office commissioner. “It was like a snow storm of concrete,” Corbett said. “It’s not the sand you walk in when you first get off the boardwalk. It’s the rock-hard sand down by the water, that you yell at your kids for throwing at each other.” With all the looking to the past, elected leaders like Blakeman have to keep a constant eye on the future. Especially when there are other storms — maybe not at Sandy levels — but storms like the remnants of Hurricane Ian last year can be just as devastating. “Three things keep me up at night,” Blakeman said. “Blizzards, active shooters and hurricanes. So, on two hours notice, I ran an emergency drill at the OEM Center. And I have to tell you, I felt a lot better.”

Gardiners avenue elementary School students enjoyed the grand opening of their first school store, the Mustang Market, on Oct. 21.
Gardiners Avenue opens its school store The Gardiners Avenue community celebrated the much anticipated grand opening of their first school store, the Mustang Market, on Oct. 21. This year, students were introduced to a new system of rewarding positive behavior in school. Teachers and staff have been handing out “mustang money”
when students are seen demonstrating R.I.S.E. – Responsibility, Integrity, Safety, Staying Healthy and Empathy – core values. Spearheaded by Gardiner’s Positive Behavior, Incentives and Supports committee and supported by the building administration, PTA, teachers and staff, the school store was stocked with great prizes stu-
dents can “buy” with their mustang money. Prizes include small toys and trinkets, books, seasonal items and even special prize pass vouchers to be used throughout the building. Students were very involved in the process along the way, creating the reference chart of positive behavior, and voting on the name
of the school store. Fifth grade student volunteers, teachers and PTA members worked at the store and ensured every student had a chance to visit and see what they could earn with their hard work. The grand opening was a great success, and students and staff are looking forward to the next trip to the Mustang Market.
Marching band is having a strong season The Division Avenue High School marching band in the Levittown Public School District is enjoying an undefeated season as they soon head to Syracuse to compete in the New York State Championship. The marching band scored an impressive 84.30 at the New York State Field Band Conference held in Mineola on Oct. 22. They finished the season undefeated in the Small School 3 category and remain first in the state as they head to Syracuse on Oct. 30.

Then, the clock struck 5 and elementary-age children came inside for an evening of crafts, games and trick-or-treating at the inaugural Spooktacular. Student clubs from the middle school
and high school ran different stations and children in their costumes could hit each activity by making a complete loop of the building. After entering through the scary lobby, they could head down to the cafeterias, where there were spooky science experiments, face painting and games. High school students helped children make slime and dry ice bubbles. The mummy bowling alley, bat cornhole

Time to replace the kitchen
Q. We are replacing our kitchen after living in our house for 37 years. It seems that there’s a lot to choose from, and we’ve been getting different opinions, including suggestions to take a wall down and have an island and a more open first floor. How do we know if the wall is structural, and whether we need a permit for this? Who would know? A. Yes, you need a permit, because you’re changing the structure and configuration of your first floor. Although the wall you take down may be a bearing wall, something that should be examined by an architect or engineer, consider that the wall weighs a lot and you’ll be altering the load, even if you’re taking it away, because the island onte eeper has a differently load. Weight distribution is much more important than most people understand until movement causes cracking to appear. There are many ideas about kitchens, and depending on where you go, there are different levels of training as well. Some places emphasize computer configurations based on great software, and others have many grades of cabinets, from the thin “thermofoil” finishes — vinyl that’s heat-molded around low-density fiberboard doors — to high-end all-wood, custom-fitted in several parts that are jointed using splines and dovetails, woodworking techniques meant to help hold parts together or allow them to move for natural expansion and contraction, since there are many humidity and temperature changes in a cooking area. Low-density fiberboard can swell at cabinet door edges and in the toe-kick area. Once this happens, it has to be replaced or lived with, and usually looks unsightly. Heavier laminates over high-density fiberboard are in the middle of the cost spectrum, and generally perform better over many years without cracking and separating. Some things to pass on are farm-style sinks that protrude, since they contribute to more water problems with surrounding cabinets, even though they look great. Under-mount sinks are sealed better, have hidden edges and drain water back into the sink, whereas farm sinks are raised above the counter and drain on to the adjacent cabinets and counters. Make sure the refrigerator isn’t the end unit next to a wall, or that there is a filler piece or no wall, since the refrigerator door usually swings past the side of the refrigerator and won’t open fully with a wall next to it. Some refrigerators need 6 to 10 inches of side space. I’ve always wondered why someone needs a “potfiller” faucet above their cooking surface, since the pot has to be carried to the sink to drain afterward anyway. Save the money for a gym membership, so you can more easily lift those heavy pots and carry them to and from the sink. Experience has taught me that natural stone isn’t a better choice than engineered quartz. Stone needs cleaning and applied sealing, whereas quartz is much more durable and carefree and has many uniform choices of the stone look. Good luck!

e haven’t heard much from Vice President Kamala Harris recently. We heard and saw plenty from Harris during the 2020 campaign season, as well as during President Biden’s tumultuous first year. She was initially warmly received, but her approval ratings tanked along with the president’s. Perhaps Harris’s most notable moment was when she told Guatemalan migrants, “Do not come” to the United States. That only continued her ratings’ downward trend. And yet as pubMICHAEL lic opinion of the presidency MALASZCZYK Biden has generally improved in recent months, we still haven’t heard a peep from the vice president. Think about it. What does the vice president actually do? You probably learned in history class that he (and now she) presides over the Senate. And that’s about it. There’s nothing in the Constitution spelling out vice presidential duties except for wielding a gavel during Senate proceedings and, of course, becoming president if the president dies or resigns, which doesn’t happen much.
N
Yet it seems noteworthy that we haven’t heard from Harris much. We didn’t hear a lot from Mike Pence in the Trump years, either. So the question is: After a few administrations in which vice presidents took on larger roles, is the vice presidency returning to its original role of being, well, meaningless? We first have to understand the history of both the original role and the more recent model. The vice presidency was originally a job that had no relevance unless the president died, and the candidate was chosen as an ideological balance of the president in order to win the election. You probably can’t name many vice presidents, and those you can most likely either became president themselves or were in office more recently. John Adams, the country’s first vice president under George Washington, hated the job, calling it “the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived.” Thomas Marshall, V.P. under Woodrow Wilson, once joked that a woman had two sons: One of them went to sea, the other became vice president and neither was ever heard from again. John Nance Garner, who was Franklin D. Roosevelt’s first vice president, said the office was “not worth a bucket of warm spit.”
I
That changed in 1940. Roosevelt and Garner had a falling out, and FDR replaced Garner with a former cabinet secretary, Henry A. Wallace. Wallace had lots of government experience. Other vice presidents had been qualified too, but Wallace made the office into something more, given executive oversight over several committees and going on speaking tours nationwide. He was referred to by newspapers of the time as the “assistant president.” The vice presidency was changing. The Democratic Party replaced Wallace with Harry Truman in 1944, and Truman and Roosevelt never hit it off like Wallace and FDR did, but future vice presidents built on the Wallace model. Dwight Eisenhower’s second in command, Richard Nixon, had even more responsibilities than Wallace. Lyndon Johnson was John F. Kennedy’s liaison to the wings of the Democratic Party that Kennedy had trouble connecting with, and then Hubert Humphrey served in that same role for Johnson. While Spiro Agnew, Gerald Ford and Nelson Rockefeller didn’t have memorable vice presidencies, Walter Mondale took the role to new heights, and got an office in the White House. George H.W.
t seems that vice presidential momentum has come to a screeching halt.
Bush, Dan Quayle, Al Gore, Dick Cheney and Joe Biden all served as top confidants and advisers to their presidents, and maintained high national profiles. Then vice presidential momentum slowed with Pence, and came to a screeching halt with Harris. It seems that both Trump and Biden chose their running mates based more on the electoral disadvantages the top men had than their need for a good second-incommand. Trump never had a particular use for Pence, but needed him on the ticket to appeal to the more traditional wing of the Republican Party. Biden was thinking the same way, but about the less traditional wing of the Democratic Party. Neither was much concerned about who could best serve as their No. 2, and Biden’s diversity-related blind spot made Harris the right choice — but he apparently has little need for whatever she can bring to the table as a leader. All of this raises the question, after two lackluster V.P.s — unless something changes dramatically during the balance of the Biden administration — is the vice presidency returning to its historical role of being little more than a campaign pitch? Will we get an “assistant president” again any time soon? Michael Malaszczyk is a Herald reporter covering Wantagh and Seaford. Comments about this column? mmalaszczyk@ liherald.com.
An election that will move heaven and earth
ext Tuesday, the heavens will offer us an unusual astronomical spectacle: A lunar eclipse will turn the moon blood red during the very early hours of the day, as our celestial neighbor moves into the earth’s shadow. Next Tuesday is also Election Day, the 2022 midterms. This, too, promises to be an unusual event, with America teetering on its democratic foundation as forces social and political threaten to pull us apart. I couldn’t have imagined writing those words five RANDI years ago, but the KREISS earth is tilting on its axis in new and frightening ways. With the blood moon in sight, I hold two thoughts in my head at the same time. First, the election seems hyperconsequential. Everything — our freedoms, our privacy rights, our separation of church and state — seem to be riding on the choice of elected offices, from governorships to judges and from senators to representatives. As we draw closer to voting day, the urgency grows
more intense, the ads flood the internet and airwaves, and every word out of every candidate’s mouth is parsed and studied and defined for us by a ginnedup media. Every debate is a high-wire act. Fringe actors aligned with QAnon and other seriously crazy groups are emboldened to push the limits of civility and then step over the line. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, QAnon is an “umbrella term for a sprawling spiderweb of right-wing internet conspiracy theories with antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ elements.” Its power and efficacy are in play, and it has followers in the GOP, both in and out of office. What hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Only our rights to reproductive freedom. Only the ability to go to the polls without being harassed and threatened. Only the assurance that enough people still care about democracy to vote their conscience. Only the knowledge that most voters condemn racism and antisemitism when they see it. Only the peace of mind of knowing that officeseekers who traffic in lies will be defeated by a savvy electorate. As we go to press, the atmosphere is
W
supercharged, with the Jan. 6 insurgency fresh in our minds and an attack on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband in their San Francisco home in the headlines. Like her or not, the woman is a rock. At 82, she survived the invasion of the Capitol just 21 months ago. Last Friday, a violent intruder broke into her home, calling, “Where’s Nancy?” He beat her husband with a hammer before being subdued. Somehow she is still standing, but the attack has poisoned the political atmosphere. The internet is crawling with extremist websites and incitements to violence in the name of authoritarian principles and leaders. How does the average voter figure out who are the truth-tellers and who are the unprincipled power players? How do we who support our democracy make our way through this? This is a tough time to face an election, either as a candidate or as a voter. Some days if feels overwhelming. When I feel overwhelmed, the other thought I summon is a calming one. Yes, the election is important, but the next day, whoever wins, the sun will still rise.
hat hangs in the balance on Nov. 8? Almost too much to enumerate.
Those of us who find our hearts pounding with anxiety at the possible ascendancy of the former president and his acolytes must look past the moment. We can’t sustain high anxiety and remain productive and healthy. We go with the flow of history and do our jobs as best we can to support the decent people who want to serve. However the voters decide, I plan to get up before dawn and find the moon sailing across the sky. I hope to see some of the eclipse before the sun comes up on Election Day. Feet on the ground, I will hold onto the thought that our time here is brief. It would be good to leave this planet healthier and its people wiser than before we arrived, but our options are limited. The rarest of astronomical events is the total aligning of all the planets. The last time it happened was 949, and the next time will be 2492. Our lives are so small in terms of the universe that we are 1,073 years late for the first planetary alignment and 470 years too early for the next. What happens next Tuesday may change our lives, but over the arc of time, this election season is a blip on the celestial map. Deep breath. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

ooking to rent a two-bedroom apartment in Nassau County? Expect to pay a little more than $2,000 per month. Except for many, that expectation just isn’t realistic. To afford an apartment like that with healthy finances — meaning spending no more than 30 percent of your total income on housing expenses — a tenant would need to make over $39 per hour, or $81,400 per year. Even if that cost were split between two people, both would have to earn about $5 per hour above minimum wage in Nassau County, and work fulltime jobs. This might seem like a new problem to many, but affordable housing has been trouble for a long time. And we’re still waiting for the right legislative recipe to help get us on the right track. And it needs to come soon. The annual report from the National Low Income Housing Coalition reveals that while just 20 percent of Nassau households are rentals, that still accounts for more than 86,000 units. The typical hourly wage of these renters, however, is just above minimum wage, meaning they need to rent for much less — like $800. Paying for housing, for the very people who need it, would require them to work 2.6 full-time jobs — quite literally nearly every waking hour. Only a few places in
New York are worse: Rockland and Putnam counties, along with Staten Island would require three full-time jobs, and Suffolk is in the same boat as Nassau. Affordable housing means something we can pay for while still having money left over for all the other necessities in life. You know, like food, medical care, getting around. To make that work best, the federal government has determined that just 30 percent of a household’s income should go to housing expenses. Unfortunately, what people are making — and what they are asked to pay to live somewhere like Nassau County — just isn’t adding up. And it needs to. Yet it’s not from a lack of effort. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have made genuine efforts to create more affordable living. Their ideas for ways to achieve that goal might be different, but the outcome has been the same: affordable housing becomes mandatory in multifamily projects. And that’s good. What isn’t good is that once we hear “affordable,” we think the problem is solved. But it’s not — the variables used to determine affordability are far too broad, and cross over too much disparity in income. That means that wealthier households artificially inflate the income of a region, meaning that “affordable” rents are much higher rate than they should be.
For example, Nassau’s area median income is $129,900 — joined with Suffolk as the highest in New York. But that calculation encompasses 450,000 households — which include a handful whose income is well above $25 million. Most households are nowhere near that. Not even close. So trying to determine affordability with those kinds of incomes just isn’t fair. If we want to truly address affordable housing, area median income calculations are precisely where we need to start. These variables are far too broad, and need to be far more community-based. Real estate brokers rely heavily on “comps” — comparable prices of similar homes in the same neighborhood. Imagine if those comps were countywide. The housing market would grind to a halt. Sure, one alternative to renting is buying. Owning a home is the dream of so many — but is not always achievable. Housing prices have outpaced wages, and let’s not forget rising mortgage interest rates brought on by inflation. A solid economy depends on affordability, and there is no greater potential hit to affordability than housing costs. As we get ready to cast our ballots, choosing who will represent us locally, in Albany and in Washington, let’s look for the best ideas to keep Nassau not only beautiful, but affordably livable.

letters Keep it up, Randi! To the Editor: I just felt a need to write to let Randi Kreiss know how much I look forward to her columns every week. When I read them, I feel there still is some sanity in this world, and hopefully good will conquer evil. Randi is a beautifully seasoned writer, and she speaks for so many people. She really knows how to make a connection with her readers. Thanks, Randi, for sharing your thoughts each week. You never disappoint. I truly love your writing. NANCY SULLIvAN Franklin Square
Doesn’t Randi have anything else to write about? To the Editor: I have to believe that Randi Kreiss
is overly obsessed with Donald Trump. Apparently when she has nothing to write about, she can always bring him up in negative ways. She is very good at name-calling. She may not agree with Republican agendas, but calling those people run-
ning for office political boogeymen and women shows she has no respect for those whose values are different from hers. EILEEN CUOMO West Hempstead

opinions
rarely make snap judgments, because I don’t think it’s fair to the party who is the subject of my attention. I have known Donald Trump personally, and on three occasions I was his counsel. Professional standards do not allow me to talk about the subject of our relationship, so I will refrain from saying anything about business. But watching Trump’s actions over the past few years has driven me to say that no president has ever soiled the dignity of the White House as JerrY has he. I have no doubt kremer that the former president will seek another term in the White House. His hunger for power has no limits, and he learned over the course of four years that a president can get away with just about anything. Almost every day of the week there is a story detailing how, in one way or another, he bent the rules to serve his agenda. A recent House committee report described how the Trump organization overcharged the country
to house Secret Service personnel. That was just a $1.4 million drop in the bucket. Any discussion of the Trump experience has to start with the Charlottesville, Virginia, demonstrations in August 2017. Hundreds of anti-Black and anti-Jewish ralliers paraded Ku Klux Klan-style on their way to a Unite the Right event. The following day, when a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters, a woman was killed. Afterward, Trump stated that “there were very fine people on both sides.” That was his wink-wink to the neo-Nazi, neo-fascist, white supremacist nation. Fast-forward to the weeks and months after the November 2020 election. Unable to accept his loss, Trump worked closely with lawyers and sycophants in an effort to prevent the results from being certified. No president in the history of this country has ever tried to stop an election from being certified with false delegate slates. At least members of the Trump legal team are facing the possibility of criminal charges recommended by a Fulton County, Georgia, grand jury.
Letters ‘You are making democracy work’
e
Let’s move on to the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. Numerous former Trump administration officials have testified under oath that Trump made no efforts to stop the marauding crowd from smashing its way into the Capitol and desecrating its halls. Four people died during that riot, and five law enforcement officers died in its aftermath. Despite pleas by Vice President Mike Pence and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, among others, the president refused to call the National Guard to end the melee. How about the sitting grand jury in Georgia? There are few people who haven’t heard the recording of Trump’s call to Georgia’s secretary of state, asking him to find “11,700 more votes,” which would have overturned President Biden’s win in Georgia. It is a fact that such calls are specific violations of the state’s election laws, which prohibit any attempts to undermine election results. No one knows what the grand jury will recommend, but there is little doubt that laws were broken. The media have reported countless stories about the classified documents
ven Richard Nixon had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid jail.

To the Editor: New York State elections are secure and reliable. The election process is administered by a bipartisan team of election workers. Workers representing both major parties oversee ballot counting, a common practice nationwide to provide checks and balances in the election process. Election administrators and poll workers have to be residents of our county. The people who run our elections are not strangers. They are members of our communities — neighbors, friends and family. Every step of our election process is monitored and secured, from the voter registration process to the postelection audit. The voter registration process in New York state ensures that only those meeting state eligibility requirements are able to vote, and it helps keep track of who has cast a ballot. Registered voters can vote early in person, on Election Day in person, or by absentee ballot. All ballots must be returned by mail or in person. Ballots are submitted to election machines that have been pre-approved by the state Board of Elections. Each piece of election equipment is tested before being used on Election Day, and all voting machines are barred from connecting to the internet. Finally, all county boards of elections must conduct post-election audits to further verify results. Whichever way you choose to vote this year, know that by doing so, you are making democracy work. SARAH NICHoLAS President, League of Women Voters of Long Beach
One last treescape of green — Glen Cove
that found their way to Trump’s Mar-aLago estate. These papers are the property of the people, and not one man. Florida attorneys representing the former president are facing professional misconduct charges because they chose to repeat the lies Trump has told. There is a chance that the case pending in U.S. District Court could result in Trump’s indictment, but no one knows if that will happen. I have followed the actions of presidents dating back to Dwight Eisenhower. Not one of the men who succeeded him has ever had so many potential criminal charges hanging over his head. Richard Nixon was in deep trouble, but he had the wisdom to leave the political stage to avoid going to jail. The fate of Donald Trump is yet to be decided. He may walk free as a bird, or he may face a historic date in a criminal court, but one thing is certain. There is no way to whitewash our history books, and in the end, they won’t overlook one man’s ugly history.
