Library festival becomes a tradition

lIBRARY BoARd oFFICIAlS, elected officials and neighbors living in Wantagh and surrounding communities were all smiles at the library’s second annual Fall Festival.

What started out as a pandemic-friendly effort to rally support for the Wantagh Public Library has turned into an annual tradition for residents of Wantagh, Seaford, Bellmore and surrounding communities.

The Wantagh Public Library hosted its Fall Festival last Saturday, and the event was so successful that the library had to stagger the times in 45-minute increments to ensure it wouldn’t be too crowded.

Police shut down massage parlors accused of prostitution

By MICHAEl MAlASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

Two local foot spas and massage parlors have been shut down for allegedly promoting prostitution and illegal massages — and several others are under investigation — while police have charged two suspects with carrying out illegal activities, officials said.

Locations that have been shut down because of suspected illegal activity include Jade Reflexology, on Merrick Avenue in East Meadow, and a parlor on Carman Avenue in Westbury, authorities said. Investigations of a parlor on Merrick Road in Seaford, one

on Merrick Avenue in Merrick, and another on Newbridge Road in North Bellmore are continuing officials said.

According to Nassau County police, two suspects, identified as Xiaojing Gao, 39, of Rego Park, Queens, and Lijuan Zhao, 37, of Flushing, Queens, were arrested for performing illegal massages and prostitution at the Seaford location. Both suspects were charged with unauthorized practice of a profession, with Zhao facing an additional charge of prostitution, authorities said.

Both appeared in First District Court in Hempstead on Oct. 6.

County police and elected officials said they suspected that the

parlors’ illegal services were connected. Town Supervisor Don Clavin, Councilmen Anthony D’Esposito and Christopher Carini, and County Legislator Steve Rhoads have led the charge against these businesses. State Sen. John Brooks has also spoken out strongly against the alleged crimes.

Clavin praised Nassau police for their efforts in attempting to stop the alleged practices.

“I am happy that we have managed to close these illicit businesses down so they no longer can pollute our community’s downtown corridors,” Clavin said. “I am proud of the partnerships my colleagues and I on the

town board have fostered with our partners in government from Nassau County, and I am especially grateful for the dedicated work of our Town of Hempstead Building Department staff and the members of the Nassau County Police Department for getting this done.”

D’Esposito, a former New York City police officer who is

running against Laura Gillen to replace Kathleen Rice in New York’s 4th Congressional District, said that while he is running for a federal office, he still cares deeply about the integrity of business in the Town of Hempstead.

WINNER

The slow down of new car production created a shortage of new cars resulting in substantially higher prices. Now, more than ever before, a good hand-picked low mileage, warranted pre-owned vehicle makes the most sense.

In addition to worrying about our personal health it is important to maintaining our nancial health and one way to do that would be to purchase a preowned vehicle rather than a new one. Financing a late model, low mileage car with a warranty from D&P can save thousands in depreciation and give you a like-new vehicle to enjoy without worry. And buying over leasing will ensure you have something of value to hold onto when payments end, or use as a down payment for your next vehicle.

Cars in our inventory are hand picked and prepped to be like-new providing the quality service that has kept our business growing and going for fourty-three years.

I would like to thank our loyal customers for your continued support and voting us Best Used Car Dealership on Long Island for four years in a row! We've been nominated again! If you've been satised with your D&P experience, please let everyone know by voting for us every day until December 15th!

Father-daughter duo from nearby town raises money, collects food for those in need

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

For some neighbors of Wantagh-Seaford over in Merrick, what started as a desire to give back to those in need during the coronavirus pandemic has become a commitment to giving back consistently.

Josh Brown and his daughter, Tara, 16, are in their third year of running a fundraiser for Long Island Cares, a leading local food bank that has been combating food insecurity since 1980.

Tara, a junior at John F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, was a regular volunteer at the Bellmore-Merrick Community Cupboard, a pantry that provides food to local families in need, when she was a student at Merrick Avenue Middle School. She was a member of the school’s Honor Society, and completed many community service hours at the cupboard.

“I went there for a lot of my hours, and I enjoyed working there, and then when Covid hit, everything stopped,” Tara said. “I like being out in my community, because it feels good to do good.”

In the fall of 2020, Tara told her dad that she wanted to do something to help those affected by the pandemic, and he told her that he did, too. They started simple, adopting 10 families, filling 10 bags of food, donating them to Long Island Cares.

But there was more to it than that.

Josh, an author with a background in investing and wealth management, published his third book that November. A wealth adviser for the investment advisory firm Ritholtz Wealth Management and a daily on-air contributor to CNBC, he has amassed a large following of people who read and enjoy his books, which focus on financial strategies.

“Normally when you write a book, you do a book tour, and you know, in November of 2020, that wasn’t going to be possible, so we did a virtual book signing,” Josh recounted. “I basically asked all of my fans, if they wanted me to sign their book, to send it to me with a donation of $20 to go to Long Island Cares.”

Books were sent in from across the country and around the world, he said, and he shipped them back at his own expense. “That was kind of my way of contributing, and raising awareness for food insecurity, and it’s amazing how big of a reaction that got,” he said. “So that’s where we ended up raising $20,000 in 2020.”

Karen Sullivan, community development coordinator at Long Island Cares, said that since the start of the pandemic, food insecurity has become a growing issue on the Island. Seventy-three percent more people are food insecure than before the health crisis began, she said.

Some 225,000 people are in need of food, 79,000 of whom are children.

Sullivan said that Brown is very “philanthropic,” and added that it has been a pleasure to work with him and his family.

“He’s always positive,” she said. “He’s a

On the heels of their 2020 success, the Browns kept their fundraiser local last year. They held a drive and food-packaging event at their home, and families, friends and volunteers arrived with the donations for the food bags, which were

packed in the driveway.

“We did a combination approach, and ended up making 150 meals,” Josh said.

“And we raised over $20,000 last year in cash again for LI Cares.”

This year, the giving continues.

Father and daughter have organized another food drive ahead of Thanksgiving, scheduled to take place in Kennedy

High’s parking lot on Nov. 6, from 10 a.m. to noon. They are asking those interested in donating to bring a pre-made bag of food, includes things like four cans of vegetables, a box of stuffing and a can of cranberry sauce. Participants can earn up to three hours of community service, and those who donate 10 bags or more will be entered in a raffle to win two tickets to an Islanders Game in the Dime Club at UBS Arena.

The school is at 3000 Bellmore Avenue Bellmore.

For more on the drive, go to TinyURL. com/BrownFoodDrive. Monetary donations will also be accepted on the site, and the goal is, once again, $20,000.

Tara and Josh emphasized that food insecurity is a daily struggle for many people across Long Island. “I think just the statistics on food insecurity in Nassau County, and how many people are struggling to put food on the table on any regular day, are so overwhelming,” Josh said. “It’s impossible to be aware of them and not want to respond.”

Josh said Tara was the “driving force” for them to work with Long Island Cares.

“I just missed working with Community Cupboard — I hated being alone, and that I couldn’t do any of my clubs or community service,” Tara recalled. “And last year was when I really noticed — when my dad and I banded together, everyone was interested.”

The locality of Long Island Cares was a reason they decided to work with the organization, Josh added. “I’m a lifelong Merrick resident, my kids go to the same high school that my wife and I went to,” he said. “We’ve been part of the community all our lives. This is more than, you know, checking the box. For us, this is something that we feel like we’re giving back to the place that raised us.”

Grant funds new resources in Seaford The Seaford School District welcomed New York State Sen. John Brooks on Oct. 13 to showcase some of the items that were purchased with an $835,000 state municipal grant that he awarded the district.

Senator Brooks visited Seaford Manor Elementary School, where he got to see students using STEAM materials. The hands-on tools include building components like Keva Planks and Magna Tiles, and digital tools including Bee-Bots, Bloxels, Cubelets, iPads and Spheros. All of the materials engage students in science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics, and foster collaboration, critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Seaford Harbor Elementary School also received many of the same STEAM materials. Additionally, both schools received flexible furniture that is easy to

move around to create different seating arrangements.

The grant funded furniture and materials for Seaford Middle School’s new wellness center as well as resources for the expanded Project Lead the Way program.

At Seaford High School, the school now as additional STEM supplies for technology classes, a laser engraver, new equipment for chemistry and physics classes and more flexible furniture.

Board of education trustees, central office administrators and principals and assistant principals for all four schools were in attendance for the grant showcase, which also featured a video presentation and musical performance by Manor students who sang a special thank-you song under the direction of Richard Adams.

The experts on fire safety were on hand at Wantagh Elementary School on Oct. 19 to give students tips for fire prevention and show them how to remain safe in their homes. October is Fire Prevention Month and volunteers from the Wantagh Fire Department met with children during a pair of assemblies. Students then were able to visit the fire safety trailer, known as the smokehouse, to put their skills into action. They used small rooms to simulate how they would survive a fire. Water vapor served as the smoke, and firefighters taught them to escape.

Hundreds eagerly attend Herald’s Senior Health Expo

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

After two-time defending Nassau Conference III and Long Island champion Plainedge cruised to a 19th consecutive football victory, 35-7 at Wantagh last Saturday behind quarterback Caden Morra and two-way star Shane Mosia, the postgame message to the Warriors from head coach Keith Sachs was simple.

“Our job is to see them again,” Sachs said. “Today was for the No. 1 seed and nothing more. We didn’t play well. We’ve gotten better each week but there were a lot of things we could’ve done better today.

It’s OK. We have to go back to work and earn a rematch.”

With the Red Devils (7-0) and Warriors (6-1) locked into the top two seeds, if a rematch is going to happen it’ll be on the county championship stage at Hofstra on Nov. 19 at 12:30 p.m. Wantagh closes the regular season this Saturday at Glen Cove and will host a first-round playoff game Nov. 6.

Wantagh’s defense hadn’t allowed more than a touchdown in any game through six weeks but was solved twice in the opening quarter by Plainedge, which led 21-0 at halftime.

Morra threw touchdown passes on each of the first two possessions and finished with 111 yards through the air and 53 on the ground. He connected with Braden Donnellan for a 37-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring and wasn’t on the sideline long as the Red Devils pulled off a surprise on-side kick, recovered by Mosia on the Wantagh 47.

Four plays later, Morra hit Mosia all alone behind the secondary for a 39-yard touchdown pass and it was 14-0 after James Corke’s second of five straight extra-point kicks.

“The onside kick was a good call by them and we failed to make a play on it,” Sachs said. “That made it a two-score game early and we were playing catch-up all day.

“We talked all week about trying to get a lead and seeing how they’d react because it’s something they’re not used to,” he added. “Good teams make you pay for mistakes. There were a few examples where

Plainedge extended its lead in the second quarter after Robert Marx returned an interception to the Wantagh 18. Four plays later, Mosia scored on a 2-yard run for the 21-0 halftime lead.

Mosia scored again from 14 yards out to cap the opening drive of the second half and it was 28-0. The Warriors got on the board on the ensuing kickoff when senior

Tim Hennig busted 96 yards down the middle for a touchdown, but the offense failed to cash in any of its possessions.

Joe Cassese added a 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to seal Plainedge’s win, which tied its smallest margin of victory this season. The Red Devils defeated Carey 28-0 in Week 2.

“We have to focus on what teams are in front of us before we can talk Plainedge again,” Sachs said.

The seven trustees of the Levittown School District Board of Education total more than 70 years of volunteer service to the students of the community, and they were thanked for their dedication at the Oct. 12 business meeting.

School Board Recognition Week is being celebrated this year from Oct. 17-21, so superintendent Todd Winch, building administrators, students and community members came together at the October board meeting to show their gratitude.

Winch said that the theme in Levittown this year is “positivity,” and part of creating a positive culture in the district is recognizing those who make meaningful contributions to the schools.

“School board members take on one of the most important civic responsibilities, overseeing the education of our community’s youth,” Mr. Winch said. “We are lucky to have seven phenomenal board of education members who have led us through some very challenging times.”

He noted that some responsibilities of the board include approving a budget and allocating resources, creating a shared vision for the district and supporting a health school district culture. They attend numerous school and community events throughout the year, in addition to their board meetings.

Students from the six elementary schools created pieces of art thanking the board, which were displayed in the board room. Gifts were presented to the board from students at Jonas Salk and Wisdom Lane middle schools, and Division Avenue and MacArthur high schools. They shared their gratitude for all of the educational, extracurricular and athletic opportunities that they enjoy.

In honor of the 75th anniversary of Levittown, a community whose first residents were mostly veterans, the two high schools made a donation to the local American Legion on behalf of the board.

State Assemblyman John Mikulin, Nassau County Legislator Steve Rhoads and a representative for State Sen. Kevin Thomas presented citations to each board member as well.

This festival was also a joint celebration, since the Wantagh Public Library is celebrating 60 years of service, having

opened in 1962. Pictures of the library through the years were on display for public viewing.

It was a family-friendly, community-oriented day that featured games, a DJ, cotton candy and a local favorite, Pies on Wheels, a restaurant located on Sunrise Highway that frequently brings pizza trucks to many villages and hamlets in Nassau County. The pizzas were baked on the spot and served up hot for customers.

Now we had people emailing us three months in advance to make sure they’d have a spot at this.”

Elected officials also were in attendance and took an active part in the festivities.

County Legislator Steve Rhoads even baked a pizza on the pizza truck, noting that one of his first jobs was working at a pizzeria.

“And look around — the kids are having a great time. We’re getting everyone pumped for Halloween a week early. It’s just a great time for the library and everyone involved.”

Councilman D’Esposito credited the library, and all local libraries for that matter, for always rallying people in a positive manner.

“Libraries are really beacons of the community,” D’Esposito said. “And Wantagh’s is no different.”

How can I go off the grid?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

opinions

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

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

Couldn’t be easier to vote, right?

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

In non-presidential years like this one,

n

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

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

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

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

H

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With how police are treated?

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

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

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

When real-life horrors hijack Halloween

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

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

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

to wobble.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Not these days.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

loids like the National Enquirer look like serious journalism.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Unfortunately, she and her brother eventually

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

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

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

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

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

Recent grid failures around the coun-

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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