100 letters in defense of ex Dem party head

Gerard Terry’s lawyers make bid for mercy; G.N. pols among supporters

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Attorneys for former North Hempstead Democratic Party head Gerard Terry have filed more than 100 letters from associates testifying to their client’s character and situation, in hopes of securing a more lenient punishment for Terry as prosecutors push for a 54-month sentence.

Among the letter authors were Terry’s health and mental health care providers, whose names are redacted, family members, clients, clergy, more than 20 attorneys, personal friends and a dozen current and former public officials.

The documents seek to craft Terry as a family “man of strong character and commitment,” active in politics and “always prepared to assist others in their time of need.”

They also outlined Terry’s “multiple cardiovascular conditions,” which “require frequent

and regular clinical follow-up.”

The court documents also said the Roslyn resident went through “a major change in his life in the early 2000s,” around the same time he neglected his tax obligations, which “some might describe” as a “mid-life crisis, when someone becomes aware of their age and begins making decision that are inconsistent” with who they are.

“The problem with his delinquent tax obligations would only escalate to the point where there seemed to be no way for him to ultimately catch up and so he gave up,” Terry’s attorneys said in court papers. “The defendant offers no excuses for his conduct and, indeed, fully appreciates how his past conduct has resulted in significant harm to his family, the extreme disappointment to his friends and associates, and total destruction to his reputation and his ability to practice law and the Continued on Page 104

Great Neck schools see unexpected state aid boost

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN The Great Neck Public Schools will be seeing more than $700,000 more in state aid than they did last year,

school officials said Monday, following the passage of a state budget that increases education aid by about $1 billion.

Great Neck school officials had budgeted for a $317,967 increase in state aid from $8.9

million to $9.21 million in their preliminary 2018-2019 budget.

Now the state aid total will rise to $9.6 million, according to Jon Powell, the assistant superintendent for business, or Continued on Page 104

It’s all about family at The cost of a Great Neck education Rothchild’s in G.N. New restaurant dedicated to Lois and Walter Roth It’s not so simple, school officials say

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

Rothchilds Coffee and Kitchen, as seen here from Middle Neck Road, will soon be open for business.

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN If you were to ask family members, almost everything about Rothchild’s Coffee and Kitchen, located at 76 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck, has to do with to Lois and Walter Roth.

“The family name is Roth. My parents are Roths,” Donna Trappler, whose family has been involved in Great Neck business for decades, said. “They’re all around here and, as you now know, it’s a family business and we are the children of Walter and Lois Roth.”

“More than anything else, they were about the family,” Trappler later added of her parents.

“That was number one in their lives and that was imparted on us — that we were family first.

There were a lot of other things in their lives, but it all came back to us.”

But beyond naming the res-

taurant after them, family members said, it was also about embodying who they were through good service, an array of fine dining options, and a desire to improve the Great Neck area.

The black and white pictures encasing the restaurant, meanwhile, are of the couple in their younger days.

“Donna designed this restaurant, but really it epitomizes Walter and Lois,” said Mervyn Trappler, the Roths’ son-in-law. “It’s all about family and people coming in here can feel that. We want them to feel that.”

Nephews Daniel and Shir Nahum, the head chef and general manager, respectively, came to Great Neck to help with the restaurant.

They brought with them several years of experience working in the Israeli restaurant business, the Trapplers said, primarily in fine dining.

“It’s more than a business to us,” Shir Nahum said.

Mervyn Trappler said Rothchild’s also aims to fill the void between the area’s many Asian, themed, kosher and Italian eateries in the area, as well as one from when Starbucks left many years ago.

Rothchild’s offers all-day dining and a variety of wholesome food, Trappler said. Among the options are Mediterranean and American food, infused with some middle eastern influences, vegetarian dishes, quality coffee and pastries, as well as a myriad of appetizers, Trappler said.

“We wanted to fill a void in the market,” Trappler said.

“There’s a requirement and a need in Great Neck and in the neighborhood for a restaurant that is more of a meeting place.”

Lois Roth, who was visiting Great Neck to see Rothchild’s, Continued on Page 105

If you were to divide the Great Neck Public Schools’ proposed $227.8 million budget by its projected enrollment of 6,637 students, you would get a cost of $34,324 per pupil.

But if you asked Great Neck school district officials about a number like that, which Blank Slate Media previously calculated in 2014, they might suggest trying a different equation.

“It’s an inaccurate figure because there are many additional figures in our budget that have nothing to do with our K-12 program,” Barbara Berkowitz, president of the Great Neck school board, said in a Monday interview.

“You can’t just take the budget and divide it by the enrollment because you have to take certain operational revenues that come in that reduce the expenditures [for students],” Jon Powell, the assistant superintendent for business, added in a separate interview.

Among those factors are fuel costs, adult education programs, a pre-kindergarten program, and other people using the district’s facilities, Berkowitz said.

There are also 18 buildings the school has to maintain, such as the Cumberland Avenue, Clover Drive and Grace Avenue buildings.

“All of these are not part of the K-12 program, and yet there are operating costs involved with them,” Berkowitz said.

Additionally, the school also provides transportation, nurses, psychological support services and textbooks to local private and parochial schools such as North Shore Hebrew Academy and the Silverstein Hebrew Academy.

“Several million alone goes to… private and parochial schools, but it’s all done so willingly and we provide everything possible under the law and certainly in times at excess,” Berkowitz said.

Powell said this amounts to at least $5.16 million, with $4.74 million going toward transportation, $227,853 to health services and $183,015 to textbooks.

“You could probably safely add another $250,000 to that number for the social worker, psychologist, nurses, things like that,” Powell said, adding that the amount they spend percentage-wise each year is “consisContinued on Page 104

Atria marches for Parkland students

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

hugging,” “give teachers apples, not guns” and one about checking with the National Rifle Association – or NRA – before they could buy a senator, Pitashnick said.

“Too many children are being killed,” Pitashnick said, soon referencing the Sandy Hook school shooting. “After that terrible thing that happened with the little ones in Connecticut, I thought Congress would be in an uproar.”

The nationwide movement was sparked by survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., where a former student gunned down 17 people on Feb. 14. Many students from there have since advocated for gun control measures.

Blanche Meth, another Atria Cutter Mill resident who participated, said survivors of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., speaking up for what they believed in inspired their own march.

“We saw what the young kids were doing from the Parkland school,” Meth, a former special education teacher, said.

“And we said we agree with it.”

While many eyes in Great Neck were on Jonathan L. Ielpi Park during the “March for Our Lives” protests against gun violence on March 24, several people from the Atria Cutter Mill who couldn’t secure transportation felt they couldn’t just stand by.

So they organized their own march, trekking through the senior living facility to stand in solidarity with protestors.

“The people here were very interested politically on things that are going on and want to do something,” said Edith Pitashnick, one of the roughly 30 demonstrators who participated. “They’re so admiring of the kids – they’re wonderful.”

The Atria Cutter Miller demonstrators were among the thousands across the North Shore, and more than a million nationwide, pushing politicians to enact gun reforms like stricter background checks, raising the age to purchase a firearm to 21, and banning “assault weapons.”

Among the signs waved at the Atria were “arms are for

Around 30 people at Atria Cutter Mill created their own ‘March for Our Lives’ demonstration to stand with Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students who survived a mass shooting and are pushing Congress to take action to curtail violence.

The March for Our Lives protests come on the heels of a

student walkout on March 14, where students walked out of

class to protest gun violence and push for stricter gun laws.

David and Goliath - real estate style Edna Mashaal, head of small Great Neck-based realty firm, named a top residential broker

BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Edna Mashaal Realty, an independent Great Neck Plaza-based firm with about 50 agents, found itself competing with large firms like Douglas Elliman, Daniel Gale Sotheby’s and a host of others.

Ultimately though, Edna Mashaal and her firm took home an award at the Long Island Business News Real Estate Awards for being the top residential broker by volume, producing $98.879 million.

“I’m competing with offices of over 300 per office,” Edna Mashaal, who founded her firm in 2002, said in an interview at the event. “And I don’t believe it myself.”

Lise Ansellem, an assistant to Edna Mashaal and a real estate agent with her firm, said this win is something unheard of.

“It’s the first time in the history of real estate that something like this happened, that a small office can compete with the biggest firms,” Ansellem said.

Real estate agents that work with Mashaal attributed the success to her work ethic, professionalism and her trustworthiness. They also highlighted her love of real estate, people and her team.

Rosalyn Provda, who has worked with Mashaal for roughly a decade and described her as a mentor, said in her 12 years in business, she never met a broker like Mashaal.

“We come into the office, she’s always happy, she loves every one of us, and I’ve never met any broker that gives of herself like Edna,” Provda said. “24 hours a day you can call her. She’s incredible and she has time for everyone else.”

“We more than thrive, because she’s always there for you,” Provda added.

Yelena Doljansky, who has worked with Mashaal for at least seven years, described her as a mentor fostering a positive work environment.

“She’s wonderful. She inspires you to do,” Doljansky said. “It’s such a wonderful atmosphere. I used to work with a different company, but I would never change for anything else.”

Mashaal, meanwhile, attributed the success to a number of things, including ethics, honestly, love of what she does and a “great team behind me.” She also thanked her husband, family and neighborhood in Great Neck for supporting her.

Ultimately, Mashaal said she plans to stay in Great Neck – the place where she raised her family – for a long time.

“I have been approached by many

Schnirman outlines busy future Comptroller seeks to clean up Nassau County through audits of different departments

BY LU K E TORRANCE

Jack Schnirman has only been in office for three months, but the county comptroller hasn’t wasted any time getting comfortable.

In his brief time in office, he has begun a flurry of audits to fulfill his campaign promise of rooting out corruption and waste in Nassau County’s government.

“Do I like being comptroller?

This stuff is fun,” Schnirman said about his first 80-odd days in office.

Among the organizations being audited are the county’s Industrial Development Agency, the Hempstead Animal Shelter, the Nassau County Bridge Authority, a living wage audit of vendors, and#the assessment grievance process, to name a few.

Over the past few years, the assessment grievance process has led to neighbors paying wildly different property taxes.

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran recently kickstarted efforts to update the tax rolls in Nassau for the first time in years, while Schnirman audited the As-

“We want to see how it works, and who is getting what outcomes,” Schnirman said. “If you and I are grieving our taxes on our own, how are we being treated relative to these two guys with a law firm?”

One of his first audits was of the county IDA. Schnirman said he had some

concerns about Nassau’s IDA — namely, the county’s expenses per job gained were twice as much as Westchester County’s IDA and three times as much as Suffolk County’s IDA. “It seems rather questionable that we make investments in public storage and car dealerships,” Schnirman said, referring to a loophole that Curran has since closed. “But I would say, with my

auditor’s hat on, that we always go in with no preconceived notions, we just have a list of questions.”

He also said the IDA does not always do a cost-benefit analysis before approving a project, something that is a standard operating procedure in Suffolk.

To fight corruption, Schinrman said, his office would soon begin a nepotism audit. And to keep costs down for county taxpayers, he said he would be open to looking into the Nassau County Police Department, which has many of the highest paid officers in the state, and other public employee unions.

“We’ve been in a control period for several years, we’re in a fiscal crisis, and all the labor contracts have expired,” he said. “This is the moment to ask all the questions, do all the analysis.”

To get these reforms implemented, Schnirman said, he needs to persuade the public and government officials.

He said he had a great relationship with Curran, but that his office needs to make it clear to county residents what his office is trying to do.

“Laura and I see eye-to-eye…

and I won’t be shy about advocating for reforms,” he said. “But we have to educate people on what a comptroller does.”

One of the first things he learned in office was the technology was so out of date that the county had difficulty keeping track of how much money it had in the bank.

“All those different offices, the financial systems of the county are so antiquated that they are physically, or I should say technologically, incapable of talking to each other,” he said.

To fix this, Schnirman is working to install technology from PeopleSoft, which the county has already spent $40 million on.

He also said that the county needed to hire more auditors and pay them better in order to root out corruption.

“Those are the men and women who are going to go out and do the hard work of figuring out what is broken and how we fix it,” he said. “Their entry-level salary is $24,000. So who are you going to get for that amount, who will be your first line of defense against fraud and corruption?”

State rejects county assessment fund Phillips blasts 11th hour proposal by Curran for residential property, 5% margin of error

BY LU K E TORRANCE

State Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill) said she found out about the fund the night before voting began.

TAMI MELE Ballet/Pointe

A last-minute attempt to include a fund in the state budget that would pay for Nassau County assessment refunds was shot down by lawmakers on Friday.

The proposal would have created a fund specifically for Nassau County to pay the assessments refunds for owners of single-, twoand the three-family homes.

According to Newsday, the plan was backed by County Executive Laura Curran administration, which said that the fund would help limit the volatility of assessments and help to pay assessment refunds more fairly.

The legislation also would have banned assessment reductions for homes found to be overvalued by 5 percent or less.

Part of the reason the bill was not included in the state budget was that it was added late in the process, legislators said.

A spokesman for state Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill) said that her office received the request late Thursday night, hours before

voting was to begin on budget bills.

“As soon as Sen. Phillips found out about the proposal, she talked to Senate leadership and spoke out against it and ensured it wasn’t part of the final budget,” her spokesman, Stephen Romano, said.

But even if she did have more time to review it, Phillips said, she would not have supported it.

“It goes without saying that I am adamantly opposed to this proposal and that it is a direct assault on the hardworking taxpayers of Nassau County,” Phillips said in a statement.

The proposal drew its fair share of critics outside of Albany.

Hempstead Town Receiver of Taxes Donald Clavin told Newsday that the fund “a license to steal” and a “money grab.”

Efforts to reach the Curran administration were unavailing.

The county Legislature approved funding last week to begin reassessing properties.

Curran said# the goal was to have a tentative assessment# roll ready in January 2019, which would be the first time the rolls have been unfrozen since 2011.

Siegel to represent Belmont coalition

BY R E B ECC A K L A R Civil liberties attorney Norman Siegel will represent a group of residents opposed to the new New York Islander’s arena set to be built at Belmont Park.

Siegel, the former executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, is accustomed to representing communities against large expansion groups — which is one reason the Belmont Park Community Coalition reached out to him, according to a release.

“Norman Siegel can sniff out a rotten back-room deal better than anyone,” Tammie Williams, coalition board member and community organizer, said in a statement.

“The residents of Elmont, Floral Park, and surrounding communities need topnotch representation to go up against the big corporate interests and their partners at Empire State Development Corporation that are trying to shove an unwanted, unnecessary monstrosity of a hockey arena right into our quiet, suburban neighborhoods,” Williams said.

In December, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the New York Islanders would return to Nassau County with the Belmont development.

New York Arena Partners, a joint venture between Sterling Development and Oak View Group, plans to create an 18,000-seat arena, a multipurpose event center, a retail center and a hotel on 43 acres of state-owned land currently used for parking spaces at Belmont Park.

The Belmont Park Community Coalition has raised concerns about the development as well as the transparency the process in the past few months.

The coalition first met with Siegel on Jan. 15, according to a release.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Assessment mess, Curran style

F

irst the good news.

The Nassau County Legislature approved a Curran administration request last week to borrow $2.2 million for pay two firms to reassess all county properties this year.

In a county in which properties have not been reassessed since 2011, this is a good thing.

Thanks to a dysfunctional county assessment system, which has rewarded owners who challenge their taxes and penalizes those who didn’t —! many property!owners have been underpaying their taxes and many property! owners have been overpaying their taxes.

Now the bad news.

Moments after the Legislature’s approval, County Executive Laura Curran, a Democrat, signed an executive order limiting assessment increases on residential properties to 6 percent annually or 20 percent over five years.

The 6 percent and 20 percent limits abide by a state law aimed at preventing homeowners from receiving sharp assessment hikes, which correlates to higher taxes.

But in signing this order, Curran decided to make the! assessment system fairer but not fair.

Under Curran’s executive order, property owners who have been overpaying their! taxes for the last six years could continue to overpay their!taxes for at least the next five years to make up for the people who got an unfair break during the administration of Ed Mangano, a Republican.

Why? Those who have rarely or never appealed their taxes will be taxed at fair market value much sooner and, therefore, face a higher burden.

How unfair is this?

The limit of a 20 percent limit on increases over five years should give you a good idea of just unfair.

And then think about property owners whose assessments are 30 percent too low or 40 percent too low.

Who says crime doesn’t pay?

Or at least finding a way to have your property grossly under-assessed!doesn’t pay?

Curran’s order guarantees that those who were greatest beneficiaries of the dysfunctional assessment system under Mangano will be the greatest beneficiaries under Curran!— and perhaps beyond.

This was not lost on county legislators who represent areas with a higher percentage of low income and minority constituents, who were less likely to challenge their assessments.

County legislators Siela Bynoe, Minority Leaders Kevan Abrahams and Carrie Solages cast the lone votes against the borrowing to pay the two firms to reassess the properties. They were joined in the criticism of the borrowing by Tracey Edwards, Long Island’s regional director of the NACCP. “We never thought this administration … would turn around and create another broken system that all of you would own,”! Edwards told legislators according to Newsday.

The bad news did not stop there.

Curran later submitted a lastminute proposal! for inclusion in the state budget that if a hearing officer determined that a property was overassessed by 5 percent or less there would be no reduction in assessment.

Think about that for a mo-

ment.

Imagine if you were overcharged 5 percent at a store or restaurant — $5 on a $100 bill — and when you complained the owners said that since you were only overcharged 5 percent they were not going to adjust your bill.

This would be an invitation for our cash-strapped county to overassess every property owner in the county by 5 percent.

“County Executive is about to take away your rights to a ‘Property Tax Reduction!'” wrote Empire Tax Reductions. “This margin of error would restrict the rights of Nassau County homeowners to challenge their tax assessments.”

There are two things to consider about the statement from Empire Tax Reductions.

The first is that they were one of the main beneficiaries of the assessment system created

by Mangano — for which he was

rewarded with large campaign contributions. So their concern for county taxpayers constitutes world-class chutzpah.

The second is that with regard to the 5 percent limit they are right.

Hempstead Town Receiver of Taxes Donald Clavin was even more to the point. Curran’s plan, he said, was a “license to steal” and a “money grab.”

Supporting the criticism is how Curran attempted to get the limit approved — a last-minute proposal behind the backs of state legislators including those representing Nassau County.

“Not only did I not know anything about this, none of my Senate colleagues and most importantly, my leadership knew nothing about this, said state Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill), referring to Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, according to a report in Newsday.

Phillips said she received “over

1,000 emails” about the proposal after news about it broke Thursday evening.

Fortunately for Nassau County property owners, state lawmakers rejected Curran’s proposal.

We would like to think that Curran has learned her lesson.

But, if not, we have a few suggestions.

Hire two qualified firms to reassess all county property. And then let people pay what they owe.

For those facing large increases in their assessment, and their taxes, apologize for the incompetence, if not worse, of the Mangano administration and remind them they were not paying their fair share in recent years.

For those who have overpaid, tell them you intend to never let that happen again.

And if you have any ideas that need the Legislature’s approval, try talking to the legislators first.

KREMER’S CORNER

No doubt that Russians interfered

A

s a child, growing up during World War II there was always dinner table talk about America’s enemies.

Being we were in the midst of a war, our two main antagonists were Germany and Japan.

In the years that followed, our debates were about capitalism and communism. From my perspective, the debate today should be about America’s major enemy, which is Russia.

At no time in our post-war history have we been under such intense attack from Russia as now.

There may be no bullets flying through the air but in a thousand unseen ways, the Russians have invaded this country.

Each day we find out more and more about how Russia interfered in the American election process as well as the elections of a dozen other countries.

The “I Love President Trump” crowd will never believe that the Russians interfered in the last presidential election because it undermines their choice at the ballot box.

As of the beginning of this year, it was determined that Russian groups tried to infiltrate the election machinery of sixteen states during the 2016 elections.

By interfere I mean attempted to hack into those systems.

Luckily, most of those attempts were thwarted.

A few short weeks ago, our Homeland Security officials determined that Russian hackers say they have the ability to infiltrate our water, sewer and power plant security systems, which would enable them to shut down the operations of dozens of American cities and interfere with the health, safety and welfare of millions of Americans.

If you follow the stories in the media about Facebook’s trauma, you have to be aware of the successful attempts by a Russian backed company to steal the personal information of 50 million Americans and use that information to help the Trump campaign. This is not some flimsy allegation.

The videotapes on British television have vividly disclosed that much of our sensitive data

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

was used to help the Trump campaign in such states as Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin.

There is no doubt that Facebook will deal with its security problem but the invasion of our privacy has cost them big time.

The naysayers and Trump loyalists will continue to proclaim that the Russian invasion of America is fake news but there are too many facts out there that prove that Russia has done what the Germans and the Japanese failed to do, which is undermine

our democratic systems.

In these days of cyber warfare, you don’t have to land on American soil to conduct a war.

All you have to do is invade our information network and you can cause chaos.

It is fascinating to watch our president studiously avoid criticizing the Russians at the same time as our country announces that it is shutting down Russian facilities and kicking out spies in retaliation for the poisoning of a former Russian spy and his daughter in England.

It is hard to believe that the president isn’t aware of the testimony before numerous Congressional committees that Russian sources will again try to poison our 2018 elections.

At the same time as the “White House” announces punitive actions against Russia, the president orders his staff not to talk publicly about Russia at any time.

Some may ask why Russia would aggressively try to undermine the American way of life?

The answer is simple.

We are a successful country

and still the leader of the free world and Russia can’t accept that fact. With the exception of a few brief years when both sides were talking, we have been a continuing Russian target since World War II. If you travel around our state, especially when you are in New York City, you can’t help but notice the fact that there are untold numbers of former residents of the then Soviet Union who have chosen to make this country their home.

Ask anyone of them why they are living in America and they will give you an earful about today’s Russia.

If you can accurately verify the number of Americans who have fled to Russia over the past 10 years, I will be happy to buy you dinner at a fine restaurant. # Back in 1945, my parents warned me about the threat that Russia would be to the survival of America.

Like all the kids of that time, I thought it was fiction. But, just as they were right about a lot of things then their warning was right on the money.#####

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

A tale of two films and storytelling

T

(Beware: Spoilers abound!) hese days, it’s apparently cool to be a “brainiac.”

But that was not the case when I was in 5th grade. Especially not for a girl.

And triply not for one who needed glasses to see the blackboard.

Which is why it changed my life when my 5th-grade teacher, Miss Cochrane, told the class that she had a book she was going to read to us every day during lunch.

That book was “A Wrinkle in Time,” by Madeleine L’Engle.

The central character in the story is Meg Murry, a gawky, near-sighted high school girl.

She is very bright, but has many faults including stubbornness and a ferocious temper.

Of course, it’s hard to keep your temper when your father, who is some kind of scientist, has apparently taken off, four years ago, never to return — and everyone in town is snickering about it, behind your back.

Meg, her little brother Charles Wallace, and a school friend end up traveling the universe, with the help of three vaguely celestial

beings, to find and free her father from an evil Darkness that turns out to have been holding him prisoner the entire time.

Before the story is over, Meg’s brother falls under the same spell, and Meg must rescue him as well.

One of the most important points in the book, for me, comes when Mrs. Whatsit (one of the beings) tells Meg that some of her strongest weapons, in this fight, will be her faults.

Her faults?

Growing up, that meant a lot to me — for I had a lot of faults, too.

The whole world is happy to tell an adolescent girl what she is doing wrong. “You’re too pushy.” “You’re too quiet.” “You’re too stubborn.” “But don’t be a quitter.” “Your skirt’s too short.”

“Your bangs are too long.” “Your hair is too curly!” “It’s not curly enough!” And always, always, always, your body is wrong.

So many faults! It is incredibly empowering to think of them as weapons, instead. And at various difficult times in my life, this very thought has helped me through.

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side I have also found life-long inspiration in the beings’ advice to the children that “We mustn’t lose our sense(s) of humor. The only way to cope with something deadly serious is to try to treat it a little lightly.”

So along comes Ava DuVernay, making a movie of this book for Disney — a book she had apparently never heard of, until Disney approached her, dangling a multi-million dollar budget.

According to an interview, what convinced her? Not the story, but the chance to create new

worlds.

And indeed, DuVernay seems to have been intoxicated by her galactic budget. Oh, she does a decent job (except for some suspiciously Avatar-like moments on the planet Uriel).

But overall, I’m afraid she gets so caught up with sets, and costumes, and special effects, that she loses sight of the story.

In the book, Meg’s greatest epiphany comes when she realizes she cannot fight the Darkness — which the book calls “IT” — with Hate.

“Hate was nothing that IT didn’t have. IT knew all about hate. … Suddenly (Meg) knew.

She knew! Love. That was what she had that IT did not have.”

And that is how Meg frees her brother, so that everyone can go home.

In the film, these scenes boil down to a lot of thunder and lightning and special effects.

You could get carried away with them.

Certainly Ms. DuVernay did.

Everything is there but the heart.

By contrast, I found the

movie “Black Panther” to be completely successful. Costumes, scenery, special effects — all were amazing, but always in service to the story.

It’s a story I never knew, so perhaps it was somewhat easier for me to be amazed. But I don’t think that’s what made the difference.

Director Ryan Coogler never loses sight of the plot — throughout many stunts and locations — and never lets us lose sight of it, either.

There are also many strong secondary characters whose motivations remain separate and clear — including many women (refreshing for a superhero movie).

My favorite is Letitia Wright who plays Shuri, the Panther’s spunky sister … who is also the technical wizard behind all the gadgets. She would prove a worthy opponent for James Bond’s “Q,” should the two ever meet.

I fear that “A Wrinkle in Time” still awaits its definitive movie version. Luckily, the “Black Panther” is ready for you now!

OUT OF LEFT FIELD

Dr. King and Jews on Long Island

I

n “Shared Dreams: Martin Luther King, Jr. & The Jewish Community,” Rabbi Marc Schneier concludes: “No segment of the white community provided as much – and as consistent – support for King as did the Jewish community.”

In the vanguard of this Jewish support were many Long Islanders, led by the late Harry Wachtel (of Great Neck and Roslyn).

As Schneier shows, there were reciprocal bonds during the Civil Rights Movement.

In addition to his anti-racism message, Dr. King denounced anti-Semitism and understood that “a people who fought for their rights were only as honorable as was their concern for the rights of all people.”

As urban tensions mounted between emerging Black Power advocates and Jews, Dr. King did not retreat from his shared commitment (with Wachtel and Jews) to tikkun olam, a mandate to repair the world, make it whole, and move it closer to beloved communities of truth and compassion.

In striving for a society where one’s humanity counted above race, religion, or ethnicity, Dr. King was our nation’s most powerful advocate against separatist ventures.

North Shore Jews – includ-

ing Don and Doris Shaffer, Stan and Shirley Romaine, Cecile and Jerry Shore, May Newburger, and Fred Scheiner (along with Harry and Lucy Wachtel) – were early and consistent supporters for Dr. King’s civil rights endeavors and were among his major financial boosters.

On this 50th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King (April 4, 1968), it is worth noting some ways that Long Island Jews contributed to this major reform movement of our lives.

Religious, political, and cultural differences within the Jewish community notwithstanding, Jews from Long Island rallied to Dr. King to bolster what Columbia history professor Henry Steele Commager called “The American Experiment.”

More than particularized categories of melting pot and salad bowl, more than a spectrum from ethnicity to acculturation to assimilation to cultural pluralism, North Shore Jews, identified above, shared with Dr. King the deeper American Experiment commitment to a principled society in which all had a chance to proceed based on the content of their character.

It is no accident that, when Dr. King gave his most important speech, a criticism of the Vietnam War, at Riverside Church (April

MICHAEL D’INNOCENZO Out of Left Field 4, 1967), he shared the platform with Professor Commager and with Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel.

It is also no accident that, on the one-year anniversary of Dr. King’s assassination, Harry Wachtel was invited to speak at Riverside Church to highlight Dr. King’s values, his associations with Dr. King, and the ways in which they both worked with others to oppose the war in Vietnam.

The original copy of Wachtel’s dramatic and emotional 1969 speech is part of the treasured Wachtel Archives at Hofstra University.

It is appropriate to acknowledge another great Long Island Jew, the late Bernie Fixler, one of the first graduates of Hofstra

College.

Fixler served in World War II and never forgot the experiences of his military unit’s liberation of the Nazi death camps.

Fixler became a highly successful businessman, noted, in the spirit of tikkun olam, for his philanthropic generosity. He became chairperson of the Hofstra Board of Trustees, and, most significantly, a life-long friend of Harry Wachtel.

As the Hofstra Archives demonstrate, when Dr. King turned to Long Islander Wachtel to supervise arrangements for his Nobel Prize trip in 1964, Harry turned to his friend, Bernie, for advice and fund-raising support.

Typically, Bernie was modest about his many contributions.

But, together, he and Harry arranged for Dr. King to be Hofstra’s graduation speaker in 1965, shortly after he received the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not only Hofstra but all of Long Island benefitted from Dr. King’s frequent visits.

Indeed, only 10 days before April 4, 1968, Wachtel and Fixler urged Dr. King to come to Long Island yet again. In my interviews with Harry and Bernie, they related that Dr. King was understandably exhausted and overextended after years of public advocacy.

Yet, he recognized the importance of coming to Long Island because his Jewish pals said that there was an urgent need to address rising anti-Semitism, especially in New York City and other urban areas.

Dr. King went from Long Island to the Catskills Rabbinical Assembly, led by his freedom-riding friend, Rabbi Heschel. Harry accompanied him on March 25, 1968, arranging a flight piloted by his good Roslyn friend, Fred Scheiner.

At the Catskills, Dr. King denounced anti-Semitism, saying, “we must oppose it with all of our might.” He defended Israel from attacks by some Black Power advocates, also emphasizing that a “Marshall Plan” was needed to assist the Palestinians and foster peace in the region.

The assembled rabbis linked arms and celebrated Dr. King by singing “We Shall Overcome” in Hebrew. Rabbi Heschel’s judgments resonate, not only for Jews but for humanity.

He said: “Martin Luther King is a voice, a vision, and a way. I call upon every Jew to harken to his voice, to share his vision, to follow his way. The whole future of America will depend upon the impact and influence of Dr. King.”

Amen.

VIEW POINT

Trump’s foreign policy a clear danger

T

he scariest moment in the Trump occupation so far wasn’t his provocation to Kim Jong-Un of “fire and fury” being rained down on North Korea such as humankind has never seen.

It was the moment he named John Bolton to replace H.R. McMaster as National Security Adviser.

In back-to-back events at Temple Emanuel of Great Neck, foreign policy experts – people who have been on the front lines and know what they are talking about – gave a grim assessment of where we are headed against the rising tide of anti-democracy and authoritarianism around the globe and even more disturbingly here at home, as Trump, an “aspiring oligarch” and his enablers do more and more to destabilize and dismantle the institutions, norms, values and especially, the

Rule of Law, bolstering our democracy.

And that commentary came before he named Superhawk John Bolton as National Security Adviser.

Bolton only weeks ago advocated for preemptive war on North Korea and abrogating the Iran Nuclear Treaty, which will not just free up Iran to immediately reconstitute its nuclear weapons program, but give them a greenlight to simply purchase one from North Korea. With the unceremonial firing by tweet (while on the toilet) of Rex Tillerson as secretary of state and replacing him with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, what is left of his administration is gung-ho for war and dismissive of diplomacy.

To top it off, Trump, who has stated he sees nothing wrong in torture, intends to replace Pompeo at CIA with Gina Haspel,

KAREN RUBIN VIew Point

who oversaw torture at a CIA black site and in 2005, ordered the destruction of CIA torture records.

Bolton, you might recall, was a cheerleader and architect of the Iraq Invasion (predicated on lying to Congress and the American people about Saddam Husse-

in’s weapons of mass destruction to justify preemptive invasion), who claimed that the Iraq War would “pay for itself” in no time and give the U.S. a base to spread democracy through the Mideast (not to mention an oil supply to be extracted by US companies).

His hire is particularly ironic since Trump spent most of his campaign saying that the Iraq War was one of the worst blunders in history and regime change was anathema to his “America First”, “we are not the world’s policeman” “philosophy” and now is hinting he will pull out of Syria and cede that thorn to Russia (and Iran).

But Trump doesn’t actually have a “philosophy,” an “ideology,” and especially does not have a fact base or experience or desire to acquire facts or consider long-term consequences to justify his decisions. His entire

interest is self-interest.

Trump has now opened war on three fronts – as Richard Haas has stated – and burning bridges behind him: politically, stepping up his attacks on Mueller and the likelihood he intends to fire the special counsel in order to shut down the investigation into Russia’s interference in elections and the Trump campaign’s likely cooperation, not to mention the likelihood of Trump co-opted

by Putin and doing his bidding because of some nasty hold, likely financial, possibly personal (though what more could that be?); economically, launching tariff wars against China (which holds $1 trillion in US debt) and the rest of the world and driving Canada and Mexico (now calling to end NAFTA over the immigration issue), the entire Pacific and European Union into Continued on Page 99

Why do so many kids have to die?

R

esponse to E. Rose of Manhasset.

As you must know, being such a constitutional expert, the chances of removing the 2nd Amendment are very remote.

If that day ever happens it might well be indicative of America rejoining other developed countries and the U.S. Constitution evolving, (rather than remaining moribund) as the Founding Father had always intended.

You are wrong to suggest that the 2nd Amendment, like the constitution, is unambiguous. A. The 2nd amendment is not unambiguous, plus there remains controversy over the precise grammar that impacts its intentions, b. the Constitution by definition changes every time the Supreme Court makes a ruling, and there have been such rulings and most importantly c. if any action taken by the government is unconstitutional — then that is why we have the Supreme Court, rather than idiots with opinions, in the first place — so what the hell are you worried about.

Like all things GOP/Stupidparty — it is simplistic sloganeering to rile up an uninformed fearful base.

The tyranny that smallminded people fret about inevitably comes from the right.

You can argue that China and Russia were supposedly communist and the initial inspiration, in Russia at least, was communism.

But ultimately Stalin, Hitler and Mao, were not remotely interested in anything but power for themselves and their small cliques of oligarchs.

Today, Russia is the most right-wing country in the world, a Trumpian dream, with the USA desperately trying to match them.

You mention your “deep state” fears (code for Trump is not a colluding law breaking traitor) indicative of a fearful conspiracy mindset, happy to overlook bigotry, lies and disinformation at awe-inspiring levels — which has likely turned you into a fake patriot, a “what is wrong with being friends with Russia any way” type of idiot.

Trumps actions? That is Mueller’s job, with juries and due process — let him do it.

If Conservatives like you ever had anything to offer, such as supposed strong national defense, fiscal discipline and free trade –well you dropped all that without a second thought.

You harp on about your abil-

ity to resist a Hitler, Stalin, Mao or Obama? with your guns.

I suspect you think that if Jews had just had guns in 1938, all would have been copacetic.

That simply does not happen.

Your gun will get you shot, the moment your best buddy and or your own brainwashed kid reports you to the authorities, to protect their damn stupid “great again fatherland.”

The moment anyone uses their guns against the government, and if that person does not get dealt with — that is the moment that the rule of law is over, that is the moment when fascism will fill the void.

You talk nonsense about the UK. Guns and bullets are not banned. Discussing its hate speech laws should not be for the feeble minded.

I could not find a practical instance of actual jail for passive speech, and the UK is party to international human right laws, and European laws, providing many more layers of protection compared to America’s very suspect system, where minorities are regularly shot dead or incarcerated for crimes they did not commit, or for fake crimes voter suppression inspired such as marijuana usage.

Also, some context is important — if America had suffered as many terror attacks as the UK — American society would have unraveled as all Muslims would not simply be barred from entering the country but rounded up, roughed up and interred

by Trumpian appointed fascist thugs with their great again armbands and lapel pins.

You quote Scalia and Thomas, as people who should be respected.

Scalia is highly questionable god before country and common sense, literal constitutionalist and Thomas is unfit to serve.

The one thing that you say that might have some merit is the notion that gun law tweaks can solve the problem of “you” and your ilk—it won’t.

The fact of the matter is that the USA has the most infantile gun culture in the world by a massive distance.

The fact that 5,600 kids get seriously injured or killed a year is because of people like you.

You really seem to believe that more guns will make people safer — this is a deadly stupid opinion. There may be pockets where guns for safety is not absurd—but it is societies job, not the NRA’s job, to address those exceptions.

You quote a study about guns making owners safer –and by doing so you endanger anyone who breathes in your toxic oxygen— “there have been several dozen peer-reviewed studies—punctures the idea that guns stop violence.

In a 2015 study using data from the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, for example, researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard University reported that firearm assaults were 6.8 times more common in the states with the most guns versus those with the least.

Also in 2015, a combined analysis of 15 different studies found that people who had access to firearms at home were nearly twice as likely to be murdered as people who did not.”

The NRA leadership is an odious collection of fanatics who actually have zero interest in representing the views of their members. 80 percent of NRA members are actually quite pragmatic.

But people who accept money from the NRA should be hounded from office by 24/7 noisy protests. It is also likely, though not yet proven, that the NRA has been used as conduit by overseas agents in their ongoing and successful campaign to weaken America’s standing in the world – with America’s only remaining ally being Netanyahu.

How the prime minister of Israel thinks it is a good idea to have as its one and only ally, a bunch of White Supremacists in the USA, is beyond me.

Like anyone with an impaired ability to think you take an incident in a country to create a false narrative.

Next, you will saying that Norway, that usually has zero mass shootings, has a gun problem. They do not.

Nobody has America’s problem. Norway has a small slither of white nationalists, remnant Nazis, from World War II that hit pay dirt one day. That is not a pattern.

But what is a pattern in America, is domestic terrorism, usually by white male gun toting idiots with a confederate outlook believing in Alex Jones type conspiracy theories and an infantile fear of the erosion of the second amendment.

People who feel the need to carry a gun are cowards. Most people are brave enough to go outdoors and out of their caves, equipped with nothing much more than a pencil.

Carrying a gun puts ev-

eryone at risk, especially the gun owner and his family. The logical extension of this mental midget NRA mindset, suggests everyone should carry a gun.

Oh, except bad guys. There is no such thing as a civilian good guy with a gun, in a populated area.

You argue that schools can easily be protected by having every child, parent, teacher, visitor—line up, strip off, and walk through a metal detector.

That is just one of many confused ideas that people who are comfortable with America’s gun culture come up with. School buildings have countless windows and multiple entrances, covering acres of land—anyone motivated enough, could either smuggle a gun into the building or simply shoot the sitting ducks standing in line, or the kids playing soccer—the shooter is not picky.

But let’s take a closer look at your mental acuity shall we?

Arming teachers, or having more armed security guards is a new level of brain-dead, promoting more guns in schools is just sick. Have you considered just some of the potential problems? Accidental shootings?

A “bad” teacher with a gun, (because they are just so easy to spot! But any teacher that wants to have a gun in a classroom, is either a moron or a bad person — either way they should not be a teacher); that teacher has kids who now have access to more guns (bad person = bad parent); the teachers kids have friends too, all these kids have more interest in, tolerance and awareness of, and access to— more guns.

What kid cannot run rings around their parents to gain access? Who does not understand chaos theory?

A good teacher off their meds, or on too many meds, an alcoholic, or a soon to be unmasked pedophile — suddenly becoming a bad teacher — or is it the security guard with similar issues, or a careless teacher leaves the gun unattended, a weak teacher gets disarmed by a manic kid, a security guard entering a room—is the teacher the shooter?

Is the security guard the shooter? The heavily armed police arrive at the scene. They see two people in the room with a gun, may be three or more— which one is the shooter? Which one is the bad guy? The black kid; that must be it, bang! Just shoot at anyone with a gun.

And since when does the shooter give a damn anyway?

More guns in the school —

this does not create a hurdle, rather an opportunity, a motivation — they mostly kill themselves regardless, either that or they know their capture is inevitable.

The more guns the merrier, it will be just like that final scene out of Butch Cassidy—now how cool would that be? Stupidparty land, your land—how it is meant to be.

In any normal country if you dislike your teacher you might be disgruntled in class or write something nasty about the teacher on social media, play a prank—but in America, it so much easier, why be creative?

Just shoot the person, guns are easy come easy go, shootings are a dime a dozen — so why not; any other solution shows weakness or a lack of commitment.

Hate your teacher? Well bait that teacher into pulling out their gun, even better if they shoot you — you just won that debate. Perhaps there is a nasty fight in class—simple fix, whip out that gun. But who’s the bad guy now?

Now what about the scenario that aging white male Trump loving gun nuts dream about —it might actually happen, but only because of the massive number of shootings; a real live bad guy shooter, (he’s wearing KKK fashion statements to make life black and white — a good guy teacher armed with a cross and a make America Great again baseball cap and a gun — now what are the odds that the good guy will not freeze, miss, sing out the national anthem first, hit a bystander, get shot by another teacher with a gun—or that disoriented security guard who just has no clue who to shoot.

Perhaps the KKK guy is the good guy, wearing a Halloween outfit, perhaps the teacher is a Trump voter — suddenly the tables are turned.

Kids dead, so many, because of so many idiot parents—virtually any civilian parent that actually believes that more guns at school, at home, at the mall, at a poker game equals enhanced safety. Yes, because of those idiots 5,800 children under the age of 18 get seriously injured by gunshots every year.

How do I put this in perspective, how do I show how massively stupid such people are compared to the rest of mankind? Try this one — America has 5 percent of the world’s population—so if Americans were to claim to be worthy of Continued on Page 98

Politics as usual in passing state budget

W

e" should not" celebrate Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the state Legislature passing a budget on time." It is really a terrible April Fools joke on taxpayers who will be stuck with the tab."

The budget includes a revenue shortfall of $4.4 billion, which still needs to be resolved." Cuomo claims to have increased the level of MTA funding."

Virtually all of these $400 million plus are being allocated toward"fully funding the emergency $836 million “New York City Transit Subway Action Plan” to deal with the ongoing crises.

That will still leave virtually all of"the $5.8 billion outstanding balance still owed toward his original $8.3 billion promised back in 2015 to fully fund the MTA $32 billion 2015-2019 capital plan."

It appears he has kicked the can down the road once again for coming up with close to $5.8 billion in 2019."

This would be the last year of MTA’s current five year capital plan." There appears to be no money included toward his promised 25 percent or $7.25 billion share toward fully funding the $29 billion Gateway Tunnel project (scope of work includes Portal Bridge replacement, two new tunnels under the Hudson River, upgrading existing tunnels damaged by Super Storm Sandy and other improvements on the Northeast Corridor connecting New Jersey with Penn Station).""

Adoption of the budget on time is what

they get paid to do. Once again, this budget was negotiated behind closed doors by the usual “Four Men In the Room,”"Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Senate Republican"Majority leader John Flanagan, Independent Democratic State Senate Caucus Chair Jeffrey Klein and Democratic State Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie." Only they," their key aids and" many of the infamous Albany State Street lobbyists representing various special interest Payto-Play groups were privy to the details."

Democratic State Senate Minority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins and Republican State Assembly minority leader Brian Kolb along with virtually all members of the state Senate and Assembly were left out of the process."

So much for transparency and open government promised by Cuomo when he first ran for Governor in 2010 and for a second term in 2014." " "Too many members"view the funding of member item pork barrel projects as a path to grease the wheels of reelection or a run for higher office.""

Like a monkey on their back, they appear to be addicted to this spending. State Senate Majority Leader" Flanagan" and state Assembly Speaker"Heastie both"use this as a tool to keep their respective"loyal flocks in line."

Vote as directed by the “leadership” for adoption of the new budget, and you will receive your share of the several hundred million member items pot of gold."

Those few Democrats who have to run in competitive races" receive “extra” earmarks from Heastie"courtesy of taxpayers.

The same is true for Flanagan."

Democratic Senate Independent caucus chair Jeffrey Klein will get his eight pieces of gold on behalf of his seven members plus himself in exchange for keeping the state Senate in Republican control.""

Did" members of legislature" take an Evelyn Wood speed reading class to absorb" the 1,099 pages contained in"this"spending bill?"

They" received these" only hours before being asked"to vote up or down.""

Liberal or conservative, Democrat or Republican, we would all be better off if our state Assembly and" Senate members"took"the time"to actually read, line by line, any proposed" legislation" before voting."

Their legislative actions impact both our economic and civil liberties.""Future generations have to pay for and"live with the consequences. " There should have been" an open budget process agency by agency."

The public, media and members of the legislature should have been afforded sufficient"time to read the fine print line by line, page by page and conduct an open debate before adoption.

"It is still business as usual in Albany."

Upon retirement, too many members of the state Assembly," Senate and their employees" join the" thousands of" infa-

mous State Street Albany"lobbyists."

They subsequently return"to the Capital on behalf of their new employers"for client “favors.”"

Albany lobbyists,"just like in Washington, play a behind the scenes role in assisting members and staff of the state"Legislature to write and insert favorable language for clients into bills.""

This is buried in" the fine print contained within the hundreds of bills and the annual adopted state budget." This is known as"a"quid pro quo.""

"Lobbyists purchase tickets to elected officials fundraising events" held during evening hours after" the" daily Legislative"sessions."

They also" have their own political action committees make direct campaign contributions to candidates running for another term."

Union lobbyists will not only deliver dollars but endorsements which provide volunteers to run phone banks, distribute literature, send out mass mailings along with"canvassing door to door for election day vote pull operations." " Former elected officials and their staff"supplement generous"state pension plans by double dipping as lobbyists."

Upon retirement, they win the trifecta by also collecting Social Security. This is a nice gig which ordinary taxpayers can only dream about.

Trump is anything but a decent person

F

irst of all Dr. Fried, have someone read my previous letter to you and"explain the words since you have a reading comprehension problem.

I had" pointed out that Trump was breaking the law by not imposing further"sanctions on Russia.

A law that he, himself, had signed. A law that required"him to impose the sanctions. Duh. “Trump’s election is a"salvation to decent people.”

Are you kidding me? Decent? That man?

The man who ridiculed disabled reporter?

The man who disrespected a POW who has permanent injuries from the"torture?

The man who has disrespected two Gold Star fami-

lies?

The man who, when asked what he and his daughter have in common replied"“sex”?

The man who has stupid childish names for people (no nickname for his"BFF Putin though) like a 5-year-old?

The man who referred to receiving Communion as “eating the little"cracker”?

The king of birtherism.

That man?

Decent?

That man could not find decent in the dictionary.

Obviously, neither can you.

I don’t know what the heck you are talking about with

the Monica"Lewinsky nonsense.

That is the stupidest paragraph I’ve read in a long"time.

How was the 40-year-old Monica supposed to wind up in the West"Wing? Was Bill Clinton going to invite her?

Kidnap her as a sex slave?

What we do have in the White House is people playing drinking games. On"the taxpayers’ dime.

In closing Mr. Decent People I have just one question.

Can you spell"Stormy Daniels?

ver the past few years, parents of our students have become increasingly aware of the high stakes consequences associated with the ELA and Mathematics tests for third- through eighth-grade children.

Last year, parents throughout the state and in our district opted to refuse the grade three-eight tests for their children.

While it would be inappropriate for an individual teacher to advise a parent on “opting-out” of the state tests, we hope that you can use this informational letter to help you form your own decision regarding your child’s educational experience.

The New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Teachers’

Association, as well as our state affiliate NYSUT, fully supports parents’ right to choose what is best for their children and a parent’s right to refuse the state standardized tests if the parent believes state testing is inappropriate and/or may be harmful to his or her child.

While the New York State Education Department’s overreliance on state tests creates unfortunate consequences for students, teachers and schools, please know that we value your children as more than a test score.

North Shore student art on display Great Neck student’s work among pieces showcased at Huntington’s Heckscher Museum

BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I Four North Shore students are featured in an exhibit of young Long Island artists in Huntington.

After receiving 385 works from a record-breaking 62 Long Island high schools, judges narrowed it down to 80 pieces for the “Long Island’s Best: Young Artists” exhibit at the Heckscher Museum of Art, on display through April 15.

Manhasset High School junior Isabelle Lin placed second in the juried competition for the Judith Sposato Memorial award for her painting, “Who I am/ Who am I.” Corey Seng, a Great Neck South High School senior, is also featured in the exhibit with his photograph “Butcher,” as well as new Hyde Park Memorial High School sophomore Katie Gutiérrez for her mixed media piece “Millennial Benchmarks” and Roslyn High School senior Morgan Davey for photograph “2:50 p.m.”

For the contest, students were encouraged to use Heckscher Museum in Heckscher Park as a resource and inspiration for their entries, and Great Neck South" art teacher Lisa Stancati encouraged her students to think outside the box.

Eighty Long Island students were chosen for “Long Island’s Best: Young Artists” juried competition and exhibit through April 15.

“Part of what I directed the kids to do was not be so literal about looking at a work of art and emulating the style of the artist,” Stancati said. “We had to push past the obvious, and I think that’s what Corey did with his piece. He saw something at the museum, and he translated that moment into his piece.”

Seng was a student in Stancati’s advanced photography class and was awarded honor-

able mention in the contest.

Stancati described Seng as a hard-working driven student.

In his artist statement about the piece, Seng said he was influenced by “A Mother’s Anguish, Ruins of Orlov City” by Mark Markov-Grinberg.

“Intrigued and captivated by the timeless nature of his photograph ‘A Mother’s Anguish, Ruins of Orlov City,’ I attempted to create a similar effect using

my own setting and technique,” Seng wrote. “Grinberg’s photographs capture moments in time in a raw and unfiltered way.

Capturing my image within a split second, I sought to recreate the “spur of the moment” effect seen in Grinberg’s image.”

Lin’s acrylic self-portrait was inspired by Jasper Johns’ “Two Flags,” a lithograph print of one American flag above another created to celebrate the

Whitney Museum of American Art’s 50th anniversary.

“Flags are a strong representation of who we are and Johns’ imagery expresses a sense of patriotism,” Lin wrote in her artist statement. “In my composition, I present flags from two different countries representing my loyalties to both. I was born in New York, but I grew up in Taiwan, and I have been living on Long Island for the past four years. I often find myself fluctuating between these two countries and cultures and the Johns piece reminded me of this sense of duality.”

Davey’s photograph shows the side of a bright red home at 2:50 p.m. on a clear day, inspired by “This Must Be the Place,” a lithograph print by Roy Lichtenstein.

In her artist statement, Davey said she chose the Lichtenstein piece because of his use of bold primary colors, mostly reds and yellows.

“In my photograph, I wanted to represent the relationship between the three primary colors: blue, yellow, and red,” Davey wrote. “The bright blue sky contrasts with the bold red house and the yellow tones of the grass. The bright red house reflects the industrial designs seen in Lichtenstein’s piece and Continued on Page 105

Sewer district aims to hasten upgrades

BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N The Great Neck Water Pollution Control District plans to speed up upgrades to two of its pump stations and other facilities, its Board of Commissioners announced on Tuesday, in what they say will be of no cost to taxpayers.

The board aims to reallocate the proceeds of a bond it secured in 2015, as well as a $12.2 million state grant the district received last year, toward the enhancements.

The change in the bond use requires the district to go before the Town Board on April 17 at 7 p.m.

Among the proposed upgrades are boosting capacity at the Shelter Rock and Manhasset Valley pump stations, expanding the microturbine co-generation facility in Great Neck to help make it energy self-sufficient, and making repairs and improvements to the plant’s bulkhead that borders Manhasset Bay. “Our foremost mission here at the

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE GREAT NECK WATER POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT

Great Neck Water Pollution Control District is to provide residents with first-rate service through investments in environmentally conscious infrastructure while keeping taxpayer costs to a minimum,” Commissioner Steve Reiter said.

These upgrades follow the district’s building of Nassau County’s first grease receiving station, which officials previously said will accept brown grease from restaurants and commercial kitchens that could help power the facility and gener-

ate revenue.

The district also recently upgraded its anaerobic digester, which eats away solid waste, and finished enhancing a sludge dewatering system.

The district is a commissioner-run Special Improvement District within the Town of North Hempstead that has provided sewage services for the Great Neck area since 1914.

It currently serves more than 25,000 residents and businesses in the villages of Great Neck, Saddle Rock, Kensington, and parts of Thomaston and Great Neck Plaza east of Middle Neck Road.

It also services unincorporated areas north of the Long Island Rail Road and part of Manhasset.

“With the long-lasting benefits of these improvement projects — combined with it coming at no cost to taxpayers — we see this as a win-win and a momentous victory for our residents and the district’s stature as an innovator in the wastewater industry,” Reiter said.

Nissen pleads guilty in $60M ticket sales Ponzi scheme Roslyn man, ex CEO could face up to 20 years in prison

Dr. Peter Gregersen, left, and Christine Metz recently announced a new, non-invasive procedure to diagnose endometriosis.

Scientists find way to diagnose endometriosis Feinstein discovery hopes to help women with ailment

BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institute for Medical Research ended Endometriosis Awareness Month in March with a new possibility for the diagnosis of an illness affecting about 176 million women worldwide.

Dr. Peter Gregersen and Christine Metz, both professors at the Feinstein Institute, announced last month an experimental, rapid and non-invasive way to diagnose endometriosis, which is a chronic condition where tissue from the uterus grows outside itself, typically in the abdominal cavity, and causes significant pain.

Metz said the disease could also cause infertility as many women with endometriosis are also infertile.

“I’ve been working on endometriosis for more than a decade, and it’s a very understudied condition that affects a large number of people,” Metz said. “It’s not a rare disease; it affects 6 to 10 percent of women of reproductive age, and it’s an invisible disease that people suffer with that I’m totally dedicated to as a woman to improve human health, including women who are suffering from menstrual misery.”

Gregersen said the cause of endometriosis is unknown and is most commonly diagnosed through surgery. The pair’s new experimental procedure, however, would diagnose women through an analysis of menstrual blood.

Metz said while many doctors were unsure if women would donate their menstrual blood, collected in a menstrual cup instead of a traditional pad or tampon, but said many women reached out for the study both with and without endometriosis.

Feinstein Institute researchers also established the Research OutSmarts Endometriosis program to study the genetic basis of endometriosis and

what is occurring at the cellular level.

Volunteers in the program provide menstrual blood samples, stored in a biobank, so they can be examined for current and future studies.

Gregersen said the team’s recently published study in “Molecular Medicine”"focused on the role of stromal fibroblasts, a type of stem cell found in menstrual blood and the immune system.

Laura Warren, a medical student at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell also led the research effort with Metz and Gregersen.

Metz said other groups who have studied the disease, which is funded by the National Institute of Health with less than $1 per patient, have done invasive procedures, such as studying lesions surgically removed.

Metz said the menstrual blood of endometriosis patients contained a significantly smaller number of uterine natural killer cells compared with healthy participants.

In addition to this decrease, the team observed that endometriosis patients’ stem cells showed impaired decidualization, a process that prepares the uterus from embryo implantation.

The scientists are using these observations to develop a non-invasive diagnostic for endometriosis and to learn more about the biology of this devastating disease.

“I think a lot of people don’t know what’s normal,” Metz said. “It has a genetic component, so some young women who start menses and have a lot of problems are told by their mothers, sisters and aunts that’s just the way it is, and they don’t understand necessarily there’s something not right. People don’t always seek help. People feel uncomfortable talking about it. Sometimes, they seek help from their primary care physicians who aren’t the ideal caregiver and information provider regarding endometriosis.”

Jason Nissen of Roslyn pleaded guilty Wednesday to defrauding victims of more than $60 million paid to a wholesale ticket business than turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.

“As he admitted in court today, Jason Nissen’s pitch to investors about access to premium sports and entertainment tickets was a sham,” Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said.

“His investment scheme was really a Ponzi scheme." Now he awaits sentencing for his admitted swindle.”

Nissen, 45, pleaded guilty to wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years, and is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 21 by U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer.

Nissen served as CEO of Manhattan-based ticket broker National Event Company beginning in 2010 and began defrauding multiple investors from 2015 to 2017, a release from the U.S. attorney’s office states.

Nissen represented to his investors that he would use their funds to purchase bulk quantities of premium tickets to sporting and entertainment events such as the Super Bowl, World Cup, U.S. Open and Broadway

musical “Hamilton,” reselling the tickets at a profit.

But Nissen was actually using the money to pay other investors as well as himself, the release said.

Prosecutors also said Nissen “falsified financial documents and inflated accounts receivable ledgers” and presented them to victims as fake proof that their money was being used for purchasing tickets for resale so he could get more money.

His alleged victims include a diamond wholesaler who loaned him $32 million, a private-equity firm that invested $40 million and another person who allegedly gave Nissen $1.9 million to buy and resell tickets to a UFC fight, according to the suit.

A New York Times" report" said that Nissen, when he was a teacher at a Queens high school, was reassigned as school officials investigated whether he sold students tickets to a free Dave Matthews Band concert.

He was fired in 2004.

Last summer, Nissen was also denied"permission by a federal judge to visit Las Vegas and broker tickets for the Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor fight on Aug. 26.

Michael F. Bachner, Nissen’s defense lawyer, declined to comment.

Curran proposes $3M in fee hikes

Hi!

BY LU K E TOR R A N C E With Nassau County under a budget crunch, County Executive Laura Curran has proposed a list of fee increases that are project to provide $3 million in revenue.

This changes to the revised budget would mostly affect motorists and residents using county parks.

The Traffic and Parking Violations Agency fees will rise by 2 percent and generate $1.4 million in new revenue, Newsday reported.

This will come primarily from the $95 fee for red-light camera violations.

Motorists with outstanding moving violations will now have their vehicles booted and towed, a move expected to generate $1 million. Currently, only nonmoving violations received that treatment.

A new distracted driver education program would be created and would come with a $100 application fee, which would generate $200,000, Newsday reported.

A $75 fee will be added to traffic#tickets for drivers who answer summonses but don’t pay judgments, and those work illegally park on county property will receive a $150 fine, up from $100.

Contractors will see their fines doubled, as the must renew their home improvement licenses, which cost $600, every year instead of every other year.

The park fees are generally smaller with the biggest increases — cabana fees will rise by $200, cabinette fees by $45 — occurring#at Nickerson Beach Park on the county’s South Shore.

Golfers, though, will see fees for driving-range buckets and cart rentals increase by $1, and rifle ranges will see fees increase from 50 cents to $2.

According to Newsday, the administration scrapped a plan to increase green fees at golf courses.

Any changes to the parking and traffic violations fees would require the support of the county Legislature.

Efforts to reach him and Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) were unavailing.

Andrew Persich, Curran’s budget director, told Newsday that the#fees became necessary after the county was ordered in February to pay $23 million to two men who had been exonerated on rape and murder charges.

Curran had criticized former County Executive Ed Mangano last October for imposing additional fees to the budget while she was running for office.

But she said during her State of the County address last week that Nassau was in a “fragile” position and that the county would need to back on spending while raising revenues.

Curran touts new direction in speech State of the county is moving away from corrupt past says new county executive

BY LU K E TOR R A N C E In her first State of the County address, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran touting her achievements in moving Nassau away from its corrupt past.

“I know we are all reading current newspaper headlines that make us cringe at the picture painted of our county,” she said Wednesday at the! Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City. “Together we can create a different narrative going forward.”

In her speech, she outlined how she would improve the county through a three-pronged approach: ethics reform, fiscal responsibility and economic growth.

Although she preached patience for some of her campaign promises, she touted some of the legislation she has been able to pass in her three months since taking office on Jan. 1.

This included, she said, her executive order banning her appointees from holding leadership positions in political parties or donating to her campaign.

“Nassau County is the first and only county in New York State to take these steps,” she said to applause. “Once again we lead.”

She also mentioned her reforms to the contracting process, ensuring those who review or procure contracts cannot receive gifts from contractors and making the process more transparent.

“These steps, taken by both my administration and the legislature, send a message to all county residents: We are here to serve the public, not ourselves,”

Laura Curran during her State of the County speech on Wednesday in Mineola she said.

On the budget, she stressed that tough decisions would have to be made to get the county’s finances in order.

To that end, she thanked the Nassau Legislature for helping her to get property tax assessments underway.

That plan was approved days earlier and would unfreeze the tax rolls for the first time since 2011.

While noting that the county would have to be careful with its budget, she outlined some initiatives! that Nassau! will be funding: such as! real-time mapping that allows the police to track drug overdoses; increased school securi-

ty in the wake of the Parkland shooting; and after-school programs for children.

Curran also has to renegotiate the county’s major collective bargaining agreements, all of which expired the day before she took office.

“I am committed to fair and good faith bargaining, and we look forward to the new negotiations with each of the unions,” she said, adding that some of the agreements contain “dated” work rules.

Curran praised Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and Sheriff Vera Fludd, both of whom she appointed.

and inmate safety, as well as upgrading the infrastructure,” Curran said. “It is fair to say there is indeed a new sheriff in town.”

Finally, Curran talked about how the county could create jobs and expand its tax base.

She touted projects like the restoration of the Bayville Bridge and the elimination of sewage outfalls in the western bays would provide jobs and improve infrastructure.

She said she was happy to welcome back the New York Islanders to Nassau County.

The hockey team will play several games at the Coliseum before moving to a new arena at Belmont Park.

“As a horse racing facility, Belmont was an underutilized state park,” Curran said. “With the proposed Islanders Arena, Belmont is now the site for one 17 of the largest public/private state initiatives, which will create construction jobs and permanent jobs after construction.”

To further economic development, she talked about two actions she had taken in the prior week: reforming the IDA to close loopholes, and calling on Gov. Andrew Cuomo! to tax third-party, out-of-state internet sales.

Curran concluded by saying the state of the county was “fragile,” but that Nassau should continue to set its sights high.

“We cannot stop dreaming big. Just look to the ceiling of this wonderful museum and you will see the evidence,” she said. “While we do the hard work together, let’s continue to be champions for a better Nassau County.”

County sues unions to invalidate pacts

Nassau County is suing five of its public employee unions to invalidate an agreement made under the Mangano administration.

The lawsuits, all filed separately, claim that the agreement is not enforceable because it is “based upon a mutual mistake of fact,” Newsday said.

The Curran administration did not factor the cost of Walker’s agreement — more than $10 million, according to Newsday — into the budget.

In September 2017, a memorandum of agreement was reached between Rob Walker, the then-chief deputy county executive, and each of the county’s major unions: the Civil Service Employees Association, the Police Benevolent Association, the Superior Officers Association, the Corrections Officers Benevolent Association and the Detectives Associa-

tion Inc. The agreement!increased longevity bonuses paid to municipal union members and guarantee no layoffs through July of this year.

According to Newsday, county attorneys said the deal was based on the assumption that longevity pay would be restored after the current contracts expired at the end of 2017.

But when the county and unions began negotiating a new contract this year, the Nassau Interim Finance Committee, which has the final say on the county’s budget, refused to allow longevity pay.

Before the county can negotiate with the unions, it must first determine whether Walker’s agreement is legally binding.

The deal attracted controversy as soon as its details were made public last September.

Then-County Attorney Carnall Foskey,!a Mangano appointee, wrote in a letter to the unions that the agree-

ment “exceed[ed] the ordinary terms and usual substance of a MOA.” Laura Curran, who was a candidate for county executive at the time, slammed the deal in a press conference days later.

“When it comes to keeping things hidden, operating without transparency, and picking winners and losers with taxpayer money, yesterday takes the cake,” she said at a press conference in October.

Nassau County employs about 7,000 full-time union works, Newsday said.

Walker pleaded not guilty in February to charges of obstruction of justice and lying to FBI agents.

He is part of a federal investigation into corruption in Nassau County and whether public officials received money from contractors.

Walker’s mother, Rose Marie Walker, is currently a member of the Nassau County Legislature.

b.j. spoke hosts spring exhibits

BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I

H

untington’s b.j. spoke gallery is hosting a pair of exhibits featuring both local artists and works by the Pioneer of Neo-Pop art, Steve Kaufman.

“Spring has Sprung,” which runs through April 28, will feature limited edition works by Kaufman, whose entry into the world of serious!pop art!began in his teens when he became an assistant to!Andy Warhol!at!The Factory!studio. Nicknamed “SAK” by Warhol, Kaufman eventually executed such pieces as a 144-foot long canvas which later toured the country.

Kaufman was born in 1960 surrounded by an extended family filled with painters and sculptors.

When he was 8 years old, he held his first one-man art show at a Bronx bank, sponsored by a synagogue, showing work that was later donated to the Jewish Holocaust Memorial in Brooklyn. At 14, Kaufman participated with nine other New York City students in a cultural art exchange in Japan, resulting in his scholarship to the Parsons School of Design.

By 16, Kaufman was frequenting Studio 54 and befriending major New York City artists from the 1970s, including Jean-Michel Basquiat and Warhol.

Among Kaufman’s more recognizable works were his portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Elvis Presley, B.B. King, Al Pacino, former President Barack Obama, Jay Leno and John Gotti. Like Warhol, he was also known for his work featuring Americana icons such as a $100 bill, Coca-Cola and Campbell’s

soup cans.

After suffering a stroke in 2004, Kaufman later died in Vail, Colorado in 2010 while preparing for a show.

Just back from a successful European tour, Dana Blum and Diana Vachier will talk about Kaufman’s work and his impact on the art scene of the 1980s and beyond.

The public is invited to a free reception at the gallery from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday. Refreshments will be provided.

Although Kaufman died in 2010, his creations have taken on a life of their own in the art market.

In another room of the gallery, a members’ show “Spring Fever” will also be on display throughout April.

Popular artists include Katherine Criss of New Hyde Park, Gia Schifano of New Hyde Park,! Kevin Larkin of Roslyn,! Karen L. Kirshner,! Richard Anello, John A. Bell, Phyllis Baron, Lorraine Carol, Cindy Schecter, Liz Ehrlichman, Christine Greene,! Barbara Grey, Barbara V. Jones,! Joanne Leftsky,!

A GOLDEN Opportunity Is Knocking!

Bestselling author Davis to talk at JCC Fiona Davis, the nationally bestselling author of “The Dollhouse” and “The Address,” will make an appearance on Long Island to discuss and sign copies of her New York-based novels. The event will take place at the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center on Tuesday, April 10 at 10:30 a.m.

In her debut novel, “The Dollhouse,” Davis tells a story about New York City’s Barbizon Hotel for Women that housed aspiring models, secretaries, and editors during the 1950s, a place that intrigues a modern-day journalist who sets out to uncover a dark secret buried deep within Barbizon’s glamorous past.

“The Dollhouse” received much praise from critics, including People magazine, which said the novel is “rich in both twists and period detail” and “impossible to put down.” The New York Post called the book “an ode to old New York that will have you yelling for more seasons of ‘Mad Men.'” In her follow-up novel, “The Address,” published last year, Davis tells a story of two women living 100 years apart, but whose destinies are tied to another famous Manhattan residence, The Dakota.

This title went on to become an Indie National Bestseller, an August LibraryReads

pick, and an August Indie Next Pick.

This summer will see the release of Davis’ new novel, “The Masterpiece” (Aug. 7), in which she takes readers inside New York City’s crown jewel, Grand Central Terminal. ! This story involves a perhaps little-known piece of history involving this constellation-adorned landmark, the Grand Central School of Art, in dual narratives set in the disparate worlds of 1928 and 1974 Manhattan.

“The Masterpiece” has already received advance praise from fellow bestselling novelists Caroline Leavitt and Pam Jenoff, among others.

A former actress, who worked on and off-Broadway, Davis received a! master’s degree at Columbia Journalism School, where she fell in love with writing, going from editor to freelance journalist before finally settling down as an author of historical fiction. She’s a graduate of the College of William & Mary and is based in New York City.

Did you know?

One oft-shared piece of pruning advice is that covering a newly pruned area with tar, paint or varnish can inhibit the fungal organisms that will get into the new cut, leading to a diseased tree, shrub or plant. This myth has been circulating for some time, according to the experts at Fine Gardening. Unfortunately, there is no surefire way to prevent microscopic organisms from infiltrating a new cut. The application of a wound dressing may even contribute to faster decay of heartwood. That’s because the tar or paint will keep moisture in the new cut, which helps fungus and other microorganisms grow. Instead of dressing wounds, read up on proper ways to prune and let plants employ their own natural defenses to heal and prevent decay.

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 6, 2018 • SPRING GUIDE ADVERTORIAL

April Is Oral Cancer Awareness Month Oral Cancer awareness in the American public is low and the statics are sobering! Approximately 50,000 people will be newly diagnosed with oral cancer this year, which about 130 people each day.

Throughout the year, a person dies from oral cancer every hour of every day.

Early detection is vital! Oral cancers have a historically high death rate because they are typically discovered late in their development, often after metastasis to other tissues, organs, and lymph nodes has occurred.

Smoking and tobacco usage, especially when consumed along with alcohol - are major, wellknown risk factors for oral cancer.

However, the HPV virus has emerged as an even greater

risk factor for young people. The fastest growing segment of the oral cancer population are under 40, healthy, and non-smokers who carry the HPV virus. Poor diet and nutrition are also considered contributing risk factors.

Signs and Symptoms of Oral Cancer Mouth sore that does not heal Mouth sore that bleeds spontaneously Velvety white, red or speckled (red and white) patch on the mouth that is persistent Hard, raised lesion (lump), crusts, eroded areas on the lips, gums, or other areas inside the mouth Unexplained bleeding in the mouth Persistent pain in the mouth Difficulty chewing, swallowing, speaking or moving the tongue

We now have a new wellness exam technology that dramatically improves our ability to screen for oral abnormalities that could lead to cancer. With VELscope® a state-of-the-art, simple to use, non invasive screening tool that helps us to see what cannot be seen with the unaided eye.

what do men want?

W

hat do men want?

Love, affection, understanding, sympathy, and comfortable shoes!

There are plenty of wearable, and easy to coordinate options to choose from when updating your wardrobe for the warmer weather. Head to toe looks for the spring are not only comfortable, but they also offer a slim and flattering silhouette.

The casual sport coat has been a staple in men’s fashion for years. This spring season, they are done in a knitted, stretch or light weight woven fabric, often unlined. Though it is more of a relaxed tailored look, it is still shaped and flattering to the body. Worn over jeans or well-fitted slacks, or worn over a t-shirt, polo or sport shirt, the casual sport coat is an extremely versatile item of clothing that every man should have in his closet.

Jeans continue to fit slim and tapered, but with enough elastane to maintain their comfort and recovery. They come in every shade of blue as well as black, white, and seasonal colors like mint, and dusty red. If you need an alternative choice to a jean, the next best thing is a washed cotton pant, either with a soft almost “peach skin” finish or done in a cotton interlock weave with elastane that produces the feel, comfort, and performance of a knit pant. Again, the fabric and cut for this season creates a slim silhouette that is both flattering and comfortable.

There is a wide range of options in the world of sport shirts. Solid washed cottons and linens in fanciful colors like mint, coral, turquoise, and powder blue are trending this season. A multi-color vertical striped shirts, paired with sport coats, jeans, or washed cotton pants, pulls the ensemble together. No matter what pattern or color chosen, the sport shirt should be light weight and soft to the touch. There will always be classic checks, but they are now done with a twist for an updated look. And finally, you will see a range of vintage floral prints in long or short sleeves.

On the more casual side, shop for light weight sweaters and knits in primary or pastel colors. Pair a washed polo, or t-shirt, with a pair of washed cotton shorts. Put on a pair of flip flops and you have pulled together a current look.

Fashion sneakers are a must for this spring. Men were used to one pair of sneakers for athletic activity and another pair for going out. Now the lines are blurred and anything goes. It’s all about comfort, pops of color and interesting texture combinations.

When thinking of your spring wardrobe, remember it’s really about color and comfort. Throw on your flip flops, sunglasses and sunblock as you enjoy good food, good music and great company!

SPRING GUIDE

Interesting facts about the game of golf Golf is played all over the globe.

Golf is one of the world’s oldest sports, boasting a rich history. Golf is a sport of skill, that can involve not only athletic prowess, but also brain power. Here are some interesting facts about the game.

■ To this date, golf is only one of two games to be played on the moon. The other is a javelin throw.

■ Long before the advent of tees, golfers played off of hand-built sand piles.

■ In 1889, Ab Smith inadvertently coined the phrase “birdie,” when he hit a shot he defined as a “bird of a shot.”

■ Making a hole-in-one during a round of golf is quite a challenge.

However, the odds of making two are incredibly low, at one in 64 million.

golf game G

These golf terms are par for the course

olf is a game of sport and skill that can be played at any age. Millions of people in North America participate in golf as a recreational endeavor or a professional pursuit. As of the spring 2016, 25.13 million people in the United States played golf over the previous 12 months, according to Statistica.

People may immediately think Canada’s sports-based loyalty favors hockey.

However, on the recreational side, golf is king in the country. Canada has the fourth most golf courses of any country in the world, says the National Golf Foundation. Plus, one out of every 10 Canadians play golf - a participation rate that is more than double that of the United States.

Storied golf history

Although golf can be traced back to the Netherlands during the Middle Ages, many people concur that the modern game of golf - played over 18 holes - is a Scottish invention.

The popularity of the sport began to spread throughout the world from Great Britain. The first permanent golf club in North America was founded in 1873 and was named Canada’s Royal Montreal Club. The first 18-hole course in the United States was The Chicago Golf Club.

Golf lingo

Understanding the terminology is key to becoming a full-fledged golf fanatic.

While golf lingo is extensive, here is a sampling of some of the more popular terms to get novices started, courtesy of

the PGA. Approach: A shot hit towards the green.

Attack: The relative angle at which the clubhead approaches the ball at impact.

Backswing: The motion that involves the club and every element of the body in taking the club away from the ball.

Birdie: A score of one under par on a hole.

Bogey: A score of one over par on a hole.

Bunker: A hallow comprised of sand or grass that serves as an obstacle.

Carry: The distance a ball will fly in the air.

Chip: A short approach with a low trajectory.

Chunk: A poor shot caused by hitting the turf.

Divot: The turf displaced when the club strikes the ball.

■ Only around 20 percent of golfers have a handicap below 18.

The United States Golf Teachers Federation defines handicap as “a measure of a player’s current ability over an entire round of golf, signified by a number. The lower the number, the better the golfer is.”

■ The word “caddy” comes from “cadet,” the French word for “student.”

■ A regulation golf ball contains 336 dimples.

Downswing: The swing forward from the top of the backswing.

Eagle: A score of two under par on a hole.

Golf range: A facility where people can practice golf swings.

Grip: The positioning of hands on the club.

Hole: A round receptacle on the green that the ball is aimed into.

Lie: As it relates to the golf ball, the position when it has come to rest.

Links: Specific term for a course built on linksland, which is land reclaimed from the ocean.

Mulligan: An extra shot taken on a poor first shot.

Par: The score an accomplished player is expected to make on a hole, either a three, four or five.

Putt: A shot on the green.

Stance: The position of the feet.

SPRING GUIDE

spring beer styles

A

h, the doldrums of the dark winter have ended! And even though much of the springtime is still chilly, most spring beer drinkers are eager to start thinking about sunshine and the outdoors. Unsurprisingly, the perfect beers for the season follow suit.

■

DRY

Winter beers are sweet and heavy.

Spring beers are the opposite. Although they aren’t as light as summer beers, they tend to be dryer, meaning more of the sugars have been fermented. This means the beer will be crisper and less cloying than typical winter styles.

■

SAISONS

Saisons are a Belgian style of beer fermented with wild yeast. They are often referred to as “funky” because of the complex flavor of the yeasts involved.

Full of sour notes and typically low in alcohol, they are a great way to celebrate emerging from hibernation.

■

COMMON

Don’t be confused. “Common” refers to a style of beer, not its interest level.

This distinctly American style is made using lager yeast, which typically ferment at colder temperatures. However, unlike most lagers, common beers are ferment-

ed at the typical warmer ale temperature.

The result is a wonderful hybrid of both styles. Known to be eminently drinkable, these are great beers for your first weekend spent outside.

■

FRESH HOPS

Spring is the start of the new hop season. As such, many breweries use this as an opportunity to start throwing some fresh hops in their brews. Usually much lighter than the resiny hops used in the autumn and winter, they make for a crisp and delightfully bitter beer. Plus, this is a great time to taste test different beers that boast heavy use of particular hop varietals, which can be surprisingly diverse in flavor.

■

BOCKS

Just because winter is ending doesn’t mean you want to totally rid yourself of darker malts. That why darker German bock beers are a great option in the spring. They’re not nearly as dark as stouts and porters, but they aren’t pale ales either. They are malty and sweet, but not too much for your tastebuds to handle. A bock can be a great transitional beer as you get ready for spring.

■

PINE

Pine may seem like an odd flavor for beer, but during the springtime, there’s

something to be said for a little evergreen in your beer. Most beers don’t incorporate actual pine needles into their brews — although there are a few that do! — but instead get these flavor notes from particular hop varietals. The freshness of a slight hint of pine is a great way to get in the mood for the end of winter.

Serve Them at the Correct Temperature

Getting the Most Out of Your Seasonal Beers

Once you buy a seasonal beer, the next step is making sure it tastes its best.

There are several ways to ensure you’re maximizing the potential of your perfectly selected beer. Here are some good tips for starters:

Despite what certain beer advertisers might say, beer should not be served ice cold. Of course, if you’re taking a beer outside with you while you mow the lawn, you can certainly make an exception for refreshment’s sake, but on the whole, you should serve your beer slightly warmer than you might serve a soft drink.

And just like glasses, different beers are best served at different temperatures.

Again, high-quality beers will often put the proper temperature on the label, and when in doubt, you can also search online.

Use Proper Glassware

Know the Best Pour

Just like for wine, there are specialty glasses designed to get the most out of different styles of beer. Pilsner glasses are tall and slender. Trappist beers should be served in wide-brimmed glasses that appear more like goblets. Some beers even come with the proper glassware depicted on the bottle.

If you’re going to invest in top-quality beers, grab a handful of style-appropriate glasses while you’re at it. Once you have a set of the necessary glasses, you won’t have to worry about buying them again.

If you’re truly ready to take your seasonal brews to the next level, it is time to consider a self-serving beer system. For the beer aficionado who wants full control over their beer selection, nothing can beat heading to the bar and pouring your own beer.

These fully automated systems are the perfect option for bars and tap rooms looking to offer the widest selection possible to beer-loving customers.

What We Do

T

echnology is infiltrating every room of the house. Many new home buyers are millennials, and this tech-savvy demographic covets technological innovations.

A recent survey by Better Homes & Gardens Real Estate indicates 77 percent of Generation X and Y home buyers want their homes equipped with the tech capabilities they have grown accustomed to. Many of these involve smart innovations, including those that can transform one of the most private rooms in the house — the bathroom.

Automated home theater rooms and Wi-Fi-enabled home security systems have become the norm, but what tech improvements are available to make the powder room more in touch with today’s digital lifestyle? According to the home improvement resource The Spruce, bathrooms have the most potential of any rooms to be improved with technology. The following are just some of the bathroom gadgets and gizmos no one should resist before giving a try.

Automatic faucets: Infrared sensors have been helping keep public restrooms more hygienic for years.

The same technology can be used in home bathrooms to curtail water waste and keep faucets and sinks from becoming infested with germs.

In addition, faucets with built-in timers can be programmed to set tasks for brushing teeth or washing your face.

Musical shower: Instead of having to blast the volume on the portable speaker you use in the bathroom, a wireless speaker is built into some showerheads. This enables those who like to sing in the shower or listen to

Roofing • Siding & Gutters • Windows • Remodeling podcasts while washing up to enjoy this luxury effortlessly.

Smarter weight management: Bathroom scales have gone high-tech as well, with various options enabling users to measure weight, BMI and body fat percentage before sending the data wirelessly to a phone, tablet or computer. This can put you in greater control of fitness goals.

High-tech toilets: Borrowing ideas from bidets and trends around the world, modern toilets do not require hands or paper. These toilets have temperature-controlled water, spritzing wands and air dryers to clean and sanitize. Self-cleaning toilets help busy professionals save time and are ideal for those who always want their bowls as clean as possible. And if you desire extra comfort, toilet seat warmers are available, while LED lights can make nighttime restroom visits easier.

Soaking tubs: As fast as standalone showers were introduced to the modern bathroom, tubless designs have been replaced with streamlined soaking tubs. Tubs come with different features, including chromatherapy, which employs colored lights to enhance mood. Air baths are controlled electronically and provide different levels of sensation for those who are skipping the hot tub.

Round out these innovations with automated lights, chilled medicine cabinets and aromatherapy, and your bathroom will indeed become a technological spa.

Actress and television host Shirley Romaine presents her new program exploring the life of the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. A rebellious icon of her time, Millay’s lovers were male and female, married and single; her blazing wit and sexual daring attracted audiences to sold-out readings. But there was a dark side.

Using Millay’s sonnets, Romaine’s original narrative will introduce a cast of characters whose lives intersected with one of America’s most popular poets.

NO DATE NO SIGNATURE BOW TIE SQUIRE CINEMAS 115 MIDDLE NECK ROAD, GREAT NECK

A seemingly minor traffic collision has far-reaching consequences in this story of a well-meaning medical examiner haunted by the death of a child he might have prevented. As the story unfolds, his fate becomes inextricably bound up with that of the grieving family. Premiering to acclaim at the Venice Film Festival, No Date No Signature is an intelligent, compelling portrait of guilt and grief anchored by brilliantly understated performances.

“Lensed with great sensitivity and style and superbly acted! The film is a visual pleasure.”– Hollywood Reporter

York City. In the mid 1970s Nicola began his life as an explorer by scuba diving in caves. He first heard, as a rumor in Ukraine 20 years ago, the above-mentioned story of Jewish survival. To date, he has confirmed this extraordinary story by locating 14 of the original 38 cave dwellers.

He co-authored the book, “Secret of Priest’s Grotto,” which led to the making of “No Place On Earth,” a documentary about their experiences. Nicola runs the Priest’s Grotto Heritage Project, a genocide awareness project in which the grandchildren of those who lived in Priest’s Grotto Cave during the Holocaust work hand-in-hand with the grandchildren of those who lived above the cave in building an exhibit to honor what those courageous 38 did so long ago. They are motivated by the hope that by keeping this story alive for future generations, they will help to prevent such genocides as the Holocaust from ever happening again.

The Emanuel Holocaust Memorial Service is conducted by Rabbi Robert S. Widom and Cantor Jonathan Guss, accompanied by violin, flute, bass and organ.

Admission is free.

Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane, Great Neck, NY 11024. For further information, please call 516.482.5701.

Adelphi students to do ‘Crime of the Heart’ The students at Adelphi University’s Department of Theatre will perform the Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Crimes of the Heart,” on Tuesday, April 10 through Sunday, April 15.

Also a recipient of the New York Drama Critics Circle Award, the drama was initially presented by the Actors Theatre of Louisville, then Off-Broadway, and then on Broadway, where it established author Beth Henley as a major voice in theatre.

The story was later adapted for the big screen in a 1986 film starring Diane Ke-

aton, Jessica Lange and Sissy Spacek.

The scene is Hazlehurst, Mississippi, where the three Magrath sisters have gathered to await news of the family patriarch, their grandfather, who is living out his last hours in the local hospital. Lenny, the oldest sister, is unmarried at 30" and facing diminishing marital prospects. "Meg, the middle sister, who quickly outgrew Hazlehurst, is back after a failed singing career on the West Coast. And Babe, the youngest, is out on bail after having shot her husband in the stomach.

The sisters’ troubles, grave and yet somehow hilarious, are highlighted by their priggish cousin, Chick, and by the awkward young lawyer who tries to keep Babe out of jail while helpless not to fall in love with her. In the end, the play is the story of how its young characters escape the past to seize the future that the New York Times said “overflows with infectious high spirits.”

Popular folk trio to Hofstra, Gold Coast hit Landmark stage workshops for teens Americana! powerhouse trio Red Molly is known for their gorgeous harmonies, infectious songwriting, and captivating stage presence.

Laurie MacAllister (bass), Abbie Gardner (Dobro), and Molly Venter (guitar) weave together the threads of American music — from folk roots to bluegrass, and from heartbreaking ballads to barnburning honky tonk — as effortlessly as they blend their voices into “serious harmonizing chops and slick pop savvy,” said Time Out New York.

If one word describes Red Molly’s music, that word is joyous. Their a cappella tunes are love letters to the art of

the vocal blend, and their innovative instrumentation is simply a joy to listen to.

One of the most moving things about Red Molly’s music is the honest sense that you’re watching three dear friends sharing songs in their living room. That synergy and harmony carries through on their newest studio effort, aptly titled The Red Album.

Red Molly will perform for their diehard fans, known as Redheads, along with special guest Ellis Paul, at Landmark on Main Street’s Jeanne Rimsky Theatre on Sunday, April 8 at 7 p.m.

For tickets and more information, go to www.landmarkonmain.com.

Students participate in Hofstra University and Gold Coast International Film Festival’s inaugural “Youth Film Day.”

Temple Emanuel in G.N. hosting Beatles tribute The sixth season of Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel continues on Sunday, April 15 at 3:00 p.m., with the Donna Levien Memorial Presentation in Music: “Yesterday–Tribute to the Beatles.”

“Yesterday–Tribute to the Beatles” has traveled the world, transporting audiences to a bygone era of magical innocence. Featuring some of the most finely written songs ever performed, this production is a spell binding enactment

of the best-loved pop group in the history of modern music. Live — direct from Las Vegas, “Yesterday” has toured Japan seven times and performed on five continents, including U.S. military installations worldwide.

Tickets are $20 or 2@$35. For further information and to purchase tickets, call (516) 482-5701.

Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane, Great Neck, NY 11024.

Teen filmmakers from across the region attended the inaugural Youth Film Day, produced by Hofstra University and the Gold Coast International Film Festival, where they explored careers in film and television.

Students in grades 7-12 had the opportunity to take hands-on filmmaking classes and workshops with Hofstra faculty, Gold Coast International Film Festival staff, and award-winning filmmakers. The event was held March 3 in the world-class film and television production studios of The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication on the Hofstra campus.

Over 100 student filmmakers participated in workshops taught by experts in cinematography, editing, sound design, visual effects/CGI, drone filmmaking, stunts and fight choreography, and critical film analysis. Students also attended a panel, “How to Make a Short Film,” led by award-winning filmmakers David Paterson (Disney’s Bridge to Terabithia; Lionsgate’s The Great Gilly Hopkins); Ramfis Myrthil, Daniel Sorochkin, and Oscar winner Mara Kassin.

All students attending Youth Film Day were invited to submit short films to be judged by a jury comprised of industry professionals. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran joined all the attendees for a special screening of the entries nominated for best film.

Long Islanders Tori Kaller from Paul D. Schreiber High School in Port Washington, Jaiden Moreno from Lynbrook South Middle School in East Rockaway and Miles Serpico of Mattlin Middle School in Plainview each took home an award for Best Film – Honorable Mention. First Place – Best Film was awarded to Keegan Tindall from Northern Burlington Regional High School and Second Place – Best Film went to Austin Segal from Ridge High School.

Caroline Sorokoff, director of the Gold Coast International Film Festival, was proud to partner with Hofstra on this special event.

“Our goal with Youth Film Day and all

we do to support young filmmakers is to give students a clearer picture of the industry, and for those who decide to pursue careers in film or television, some practical skills and experience,” Sorokoff said.

“There is no better place for students to gain such experience than from the worldclass faculty at The Lawrence Herbert School of Communication and the awardwinning filmmakers that work with our festival.”

“It was great to see the students really enjoy the workshops. Like most people, they were fascinated with learning more about directing, but I don’t think many were aware of all the crafts and creative functions associated with making a film,” added Professor William Jennings, of Hofstra’s Department of Radio, Television, Film, who helped organize the event.

“Hofstra also got to show off our amazing instructors and facilities and in doing so, raise the profile of our film and media programs.”

Youth Film Day is a part of Hofstra’s Regional Scholars program, which offers talented middle school and high school students the opportunity to explore new academic interests with scholars and college students as mentors, to spend a day or two on a college campus, and to gain an understanding of what collegiate-level work entails. The initiative also supports Hofstra’s mission to encourage and nurture intellectual curiosity and learning through a free and open exchange of ideas.

The Youth Film Day program is also an extension of the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s Young Filmmakers Program, which solicits short films from students in grades K-12 from all around the country to compete for a spot in its annual November festival.

Submissions are currently being accepted for the 2018 Young Filmmakers Program.

Hofstra University is the official University Partner of Gold Coast International Film Festival and the Gold Coast Arts Center’s year-round film programs.

Beth Sholom Holocaust commemoration Join Temple Beth Sholom as we welcome Dr. Cary Lane, curator-in-residence of the Kupferberg Holocaust Center in Queens and a professor at Queensborough Community College, during the annual Yom Hashoah program at 7 p.m.

April 12.

Lane will recount details of the little-known rescue of thousands of Jews by the villagers of Le Chambon and its surrounding areas known as the Plateau in southeast France. He will describe the current Kupferberg Center exhibition, describing the results of his research and the photographs, letters and other artifacts compiled that document the compassion, heroism, and selflessness of these villagers.

Because of its remoteness, Le Chambon, a village at the

foot of the Alps, was a haven for Protestant Christians seeking to avoid religious persecution under the reign of King Louis XIV, with an established history of religious tolerance.

Within days after Nazi Germany’s invasion of France and the establishment of the Demarcation Line separating Northern Occupied France from unoccupied Vichy France, the pastor of Le Chambon rallied the villagers to action with the words, “We will resist when our enemies demand that we act in ways that go against the teachings of the Gospel. We will resist without fear, without pride, and without hatred.”

The parishioners of Le Chambon took this measure to heart, welcoming Jewish refugees into their homes, educating them in their public schools

and hiding them from periodic raids.

The parishioners of Le Chambon and the surrounding Protestant and Catholic churches also established a network for the safe passage of thousands of Jews, including the preparation of forged documents necessary to smuggle Jews into Switzerland. In the decades following the Holocaust, the entire community was awarded the medal of the Righteous, Israel’s Highest Civilian Honor.

“As an educator and curator, it was extremely inspiring to help tell the story of the largest act of communal Righteousness during World War II: when a rural community of French Protestants risked their lives to save several thousand Jewish refugees,” Lane said. “For students who have only studied

the horrors of the Holocaust, this exhibit offers an uplifting look at the capacity for decency, courage, and humility.”

Our congregation and community will have a unique opportunity to hear more about Le Chambon, and the heroism of its villagers. The program will also include a candle lighting ceremony, and a brief performance from our religious school students.

The program is free and open to the community. Holocaust survivors in the area who would like to light a candle during the service are asked to contact the Temple Beth Sholom office in advance at (516) 6212288.

The synagogue is located at 401 Roslyn Rd., Roslyn Heights, NY.

Over 2,000 children in Great Neck and surrounding areas participated in matzah baking with The Traveling Matzah Bakery, organized by Rabbi Dovid and Chumy Ezagui of Lake Success Chabad.

The Traveling Matzah Bakery visited many local schools and synagogues like Yeshivah of Central Queens, JLE Hebrew School, North Shore Hebrew Academy, Keshet Learning Center, Rabbi Jacob Joseph School, Silverstein Hebrew Academy, Friedberg JCC, MIYJCC, Lurie Academy, Barkai School, Temple Sinai, Solomon Schechter, Chabad of Merrick, Temple Ohr Chaim and more.

Children had the opportunity to make their very own matzah. They took turns producing flour from wheat kernels, and separating the chaff from the grain. Students then collected the grain into a hand driven wheat mill and grinded it into flour. Students then rolled up their sleeves and got ready for lots of fun as they kneaded, rolled, & baked the dough into a handmade matzah.

Each student was accessorized in their own baker’s hat and apron as they put their baking skills to the test.

Science doesn’t back LED opposition

P

rior to my reply to Rebecca Rosenblatt Gilliar, it is important to note the following: Babylon is installing LED lights in all 13,250 of its street lamps reflecting a shift across Long Island for energy-efficient lighting.

The additional advantage of LEDs in Babylon resulted in making the town safer. The projected annual energy savings is up to $700,000.

Smithtown installed LEDs in all of its 12,000 street lights saving $520,000 in energy costs annually.

Hempstead finished installing LEDs in its 50,000 street lights last year. The projected cost savings over a 20-year period will be 43 million.

The Village of Hempstead installed 2,700 LED lights last year as part of a policing initiative.

Islip installed LED lights in all of its 25,000 street lights saving $1 million in energy costs annually.

Huntington installed LED lights in 16,700 of their 20,000 street lights savings $700,000 in utility costs annually. They plan to

convert the rest of the street lights with LED lights.

Oyster Bay installed LEDs in 10,000-12,000 of 18,000-20,000 street lights saving $83,000 annually and plan to convert the rest.

Long Beach installed LEDs in 1,100 of their 1,862 street lights saving $182,325 annually.

Riverhead installed LEDs in 2,167 of the town’s 6,500 lights, reducing costs by half. They plan to convert the rest of the street lights to LEDs. Brookhaven installed LEDs in 4,000-5,000 of 43,000 lights saving $200,000 in energy costs annually. They plan to convert all 43,000 lights installing LEDs. North Hempstead installed LEDs in 126 street lights they are considering installing more as replacement bulbs.

Glen Cove installed LEDs in 100 of 1,667 street lights saving $5,000-$6,000 annually. They plan to convert the rest of the street lights to LEDs. South Hampton installed LEDs in a small number of their

3,000 street lights. They are now considering installing many more.

East Hampton considering an energy efficient lighting program incorporating LEDs. Shelter Island plans to install LEDs in their towns 12 street lights.

Southold installed LEDs in all of its 220 street lights, saving $10,120 annually.

Professor E. Fred Schubert of the Electrical Engineering Department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, stated that LED lights are less harmful to the environment to the antecedents. They do not contain the mercury of fluorescent bulbs, produce less waste by lasting longer, and they use less energy, which, means less fossil fuel is burned. The majority of all Long Island’s electricity comes from fossil fuels.

Most recently Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced a Smart Street Lighting Program calling for more than 500,000 LED street lights to be installed throughout the state by 2025 in an effort to reduce

greenhouse gas emissions and save money.

As expected, it is always foreseeable that a few people will complain. That is the nature of people experiencing a change.

There is nothing wrong with anyone of them openly making their objections known.

The problem that the undersigned finds disturbing is that their complaints become personal and sometimes frustrating because the change was made and we all have to accommodate and compromise to those changes.

I am fortunate enough to have an office and residence in both Great Neck and Boca Raton, Fla. We have LED lighting throughout our gated communities in Florida as we have now in the Village of Great Neck.

We are able to block out lights in our bedrooms in both New York and Florida using special shades that are readily available to everyone at a reasonable cost.

Therefore, by accommodating and compromising, the people that are

complaining can block out all of the lighting the same way we were able to accomplish that in both Florida and in New York. !It would have cost a lot less to purchase the proper shades to block out the light than bring a lawsuit against the village’s four trustees.

Furthermore, Mrs. Gilliar’s statements are technically incorrect and the use of the word “may,” as an example, does not mean technically or medically, that there is a connection between LEDs and any type of illness or injury.

One should never take a subjective statement or opinions that are not peer reviewed and take them as fact. That is the fault of many of the objecting individuals who are making statements that are also not scientifically correct.

Vasa right person for Port Library board

I

’ve had the pleasure of knowing Sima Vasa for 13 years.

From the moment we met, I found her to be honest, compassionate, and easy to get along with. Having Sima serve on our Library Board would be a wonderful gift to the Port Washington community. It is a privilege to share with you all that is Sima.

Sima is not one to idle on anything, especially the world

we live in. Her quest for knowledge and constant desire to better herself is so insatiable as it is motivating. Listeners walk away from her inspired to learn more from her thoughtful insights.

No matter how busy Sima is (CEO of her 2nd Market Research company, hosting a Podcast, speaking at national conventions and other engagements) she never shies away from community commitments.

She has been a Girl Scout leader for 8+ years, co-chair of Green Committee at Sousa for seven! years, and implemented a “borrow a book library” at the town dock.

I remember one time she single-handedly rented a U-Haul and drove to an organization in Newark to deliver five pallets of unused school supplies, packed by her family and Girl Scout Troop.

Sima is a collaborate leader, who inspires and challenges people to rise to their potential, and she never gives up on anyone.

She has the most wonderful, well-adjusted family I know and is a role model to her two daughters. !She is genuine and as true to others as she is true to herself.

If she gives you her word, never worry she will falter.

There is no doubt in my mind that Sima is the right can-

didate for this job. She is more than ready and highly capable to take on this endeavor.

She will bring her incredible drive, intellect, open-mindedness, business sense, and collaborative work ethic to help transcend our library to the next level of excellence. Please vote for Sima Vasa on April 10.

Greater understanding of Rusty Staub: a hero Parkinson’s disease needed on and off the field

A

n estimated 1 million people in the U.S. live with Parkinson’s disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s.

Symptoms vary but include tremors, slowness of gait, difficulty in balance, swallowing, speaking and others.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month and I urge everyone to join our community as we promote greater aware-

ness of how this relentlessly progressive disease affects patients and their families.

My wife suffers from this disease, and because of this I have become aware of many aspects of it beyond what I knew as a physician.

Since the disease is incurable, for now, quality of life can be immensely improved.

Support groups, newsletters – electronic or print – to exchange ideas about daily

A

s a lifelong Mets fan, I was greatly saddened to read that former Mets player Rusty Staub has passed away at age 73.

He was with the Mets for nine years and gave his best to a game he loved.

But as reported after his baseball career was over, he gave back in his mission in helping others in need. In 1984 he founded the New Dr. F. Ahmed York Police and Fire Widows and Great Neck Children’s Benefit Fund.

After 9/11 the fund provided lifelong financial and other assis-

living, travel, selling or donation of used equipment and of course, funds for basic research.

Every patient with Parkinson’s disease suffering from movement disorder must be evaluated by a neurosurgeon with expertise in deep brain stimulation.!

tance to the families of uniformed officers who’ve fallen in the line of duty.!

A year later after that he created the Rusty Staub foundation whose main purpose was to help children and the hungry.

Truly Rusty Staub had a heart of gold. Now in my book Rusty hit a home run every day he was alive and after he! left America’s pasttime.

God bless you Rusty Staub. !Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

Gun control push endangers our safety

S

hortly after the shooting on Feb. 14, at a high school in Parkland, Fla., where 17 innocent people, 14 of them students, were gunned down by crazed, 19-yearold Nikolas Cruz (a former student at the school), I saw a graphic by the artist Branco that seemed to sum up both sides of the gun debate.

A gunman, wearing a shirt that said Next School Shooter, was holding an assault rifle and standing at a crossroads.

To his left was School A and to his right was School B. The only difference was that the sign to the left said “Armed Staff on Duty” and the sign to the right said “Gun Free Zone.”

We all know that if a hundred or a thousand or 10,000 liberal parents were asked which school they hoped their child or children attended, it would be the school with armed security.

Why? Because armed security would give their child the best chance of survival.

But even though they would secretly choose that option, they would say some-

thing quite different in public.

Or they would send their children out to lobby against guns, as we witnessed in the so-called spontaneous March for Life – although isn’t it strange that permits for that march were submitted a full month before it took place?

Or they would appoint––or anoint – a spokesman like the uniquely alienating and foul-mouthed David Hogg to plead their none-too-convincing case that it was a gun and not the criminal negligence of Parkland’s sheriff (who told his men to stand down), the FBI and police (which ignored numerous threats by Cruz), and school officials who had received dozens of complaints about Cruz’s menacing warnings to carry out a school shooting.

All of them did – wait for it – nothing!

Even Roxanne Deschamps, the woman who volunteered to care for the young man after his mother died, pleaded with authorities to stop his violence…but nada. # Interestingly, a week later, a 17-year-

old who shot and injured two students in Great Mills High School in Maryland was shot dead by a security officer, but most people never heard about that siege because the leftist media is fixated on gun confiscation and not on the power of guns to stop crime.

The Parkland shooting reminds me of another shooting a couple of years ago in which liberals came out in great numbers to, again, lobby for “gun control.”

But when a reporter handed them a “No Gun Zone” sign and asked if they would put the sign on the lawns in front of their own homes, they all said no.

Why? Because they didn’t want to alert a crook that they had no defense against a home invasion, robbery, rape, assault, or murder.

Bottom line, liberals, leftists, progressives – whatever they’re calling themselves these days – want to confiscate every gun in America, the better to actualize their dream, indeed their mission, to cede absolute power to Big Government, the nanny state they so fervently believe in.

That is because in order to actualize the one-world government – ruled by themselves, of course – they desire, they have to rid the system of national sovereignty, individual freedom, and ownership of personal property, including the guns with which to fight against such tyranny.

They don’t admit this, of course.

They couch their “concern” by asking for better mental health screening, a higher age to buy a gun, etc. But like the salami tactics they use for every other issue, they will never settle for anything less than a gun-free America.

I won’t go into the very same “philosophy” that Hitler both advocated and succeeded in achieving…to such a degree that the 6 million Jews he led to their grisly deaths had no defenses.

Thankfully, most Americans are not liberals. They have learned from history and will never allow the Rodney King “can’t we all get along” Party to prevail.

Joan Swirsky Great Neck

Ominous echoes in gun control debate

T

he Oedipus Complex may no longer have much weight in the field of psychology, but Freud’s concept of “projection” is alive and well.

We saw a textbook example of this in the March 30 letter, “Don’t Remove 2nd Amendment Freedoms,” written by E. Rose. The author ascribed Hitler-like tactics to a perceived enemy by employing Hitler-like tactics.

Hitler placed the blame for all of Germany’s problems on the Jew. The Jew was behind every war, behind every economic collapse, behind every revolution. The Jew was cunning and would stop at nothing to assure victory.

It didn’t matter that the majority of

Jews in Europe were poor, or that, in Germany itself, many of the Jews were assimilated and fought in World War I on behalf of Germany. The Jew was the enemy and needed to be destroyed.

For Rose, the all-powerful enemy is the Progressive Left.

This group is pushing its “progressive agenda” which, in this case, is some sort of sensible gun control.

The Left, like the Jew, is quite powerful, and is so determined to win that there is “no depth to which the left will not stoop.” They have even “weaponized the IRS and the FBI against political enemies.”

The Left, like the Jew, aspires to

complete control of society, having infiltrated our universities where they’ve used “goon squads that act like the Hitler Youth and enforce ideological conformity with physical violence.”

The Left, like the Jew, are “wouldbe tyrants of the authoritarian collective state.”

This projection of evil onto the Left (or the Jew) masks the evil that lies within Rose.

It is an evil that has no empathy, no conscience. Like those Germans who were told to ignore the pleading and the screams of those who were hauled away, tortured, and killed, the evil represented

by Rose will not be swayed by the deaths

of children.

Hence Rose writes that while “[W]e all feel terrible for the tragedies at these schools…public policy must not be based on emotion and hysteria.”

That statement should make us pause, and should frighten us.

When someone writes a public letter stating that our decision-making should not be influenced by the killing of children, we have a clear indicator that our society has crossed a dark line.

It also indicates that the letter writer, not the fictitious enemy, is the one who has crossed into Hitlerian territory.

Jeffrey Siegel Port Washington

Why do so many kids have to die?

Continued from Page 17 peer group status—then they should see 5 percent of the gun deaths.

But you already know that that is not the case.

“Ninety percent of women, 91 percent of children aged 0 to 14 years, 92 percent of youth aged 15 to 24 years, and 82 percent of all people killed by firearms were from the United States.”

Bad right? But I am being nice, which seems rather pointless when dealing with the deadly stupid.

So just imagine if I compared Amer-

ica with developed nations (a rapidly receding notion). You are 25 times more likely to be shot to death in America than any other developed nation.

But I am still being far too nice—because not all of America is truly Stupidparty land.

Take Mississippi the least smart state in the country (yet Alaska, Alabama and Louisiana did have more gun deaths per 100,000), has four times more gun deaths per 100,000 than say Massachusetts.

Thus it would be more than reason-

able to state that Stupidparty land is 5,000 percent more stupid (regarding gun culture at least) than Europe.

Finally, you go on about progressive authoritarian.

You fret because you have a conservative brain, a fearful brain that has lost the ability to think critically.

You mention a dystopian future— well chew on this: Approximately 0.00001 percent control about 50 percent of the money that goes into politics, now check on the income discrepancy trends over the last 25 years.

Having considered that, now ask yourself this one simple question — if such trends continue how can the country possibly escape a fascist state. As to you –we all know how you would have voted if you were living in Germany in 1933.

Kids die in school because people like you, who not only promote the most infantile gun culture in the world, but who also now want to double down on that stupidity.

Phillips’ comments on bill dishonest

was not surprised that Sen. Elaine Phillips and her Republican colleagues succeeded in stripping the Child Victims Act provision from the final New York State budget passed on March 31.

They made it clear from the beginning that protecting influential organizations (such as the Catholic Church, Orthodox Jewish groups and the Boy Scouts) from potential civil and criminal liability was more important to them than pursuing justice for those sexually molested or raped as children. " As your readers may or may not know, the CVA would substantially extend the civil

and criminal statutes of limitations for sex crimes committed against minors and allow one year for victims whose rights previously lapsed to file suit.

Particularly abhorrent was Phillips’ justification for blocking the CVA from becoming law after months of avoiding any and all public discussion on the matter.

"According to your reporter, Luke Torrance, Phillips stated that an April 1s" deadline to pass the budget would not give her sufficient time to examine the CVA provision and that she wanted to “assemble experts and really look at the law.”

"In your March 30t"edition,

Torrance quoted Phillips as saying, “It’s not something we want to do haphazardly.”"

She added, “We are not defeated on this issue,” implying that she stood with the CVA’s proponents.

"Of course, this is completely dishonest of Phillips."

The CVA’s proponents have been pushing for its passage for over a decade, and it has passed the State Assembly five times."

This is not something that was sprung on anyone at the last moment.

"To be fair, Phillips took office in January 2017, but that has given her well over a year to gather data and consult with

experts on this issue. " If she had taken these steps, she would have learned that similar laws passed recently in other states have not bankrupted the too-big-to-fail religious and social organizations she’s actively shielding.

"And, even if those groups’ finances were under serious threat, Phillips’ obligation as a public servant is to fight for justice, not to selectively circumvent it. " Organizations that spent decades shirking responsibility for and, in many cases, actively covering up the crimes of their members do not deserve Phillips’ advocacy or protection."

Victims of sexual abuse and assault do. " If you are a resident of New York’s 7th Senate District, please call Phillips at (516) 7465924 or (518) 455-3265 and let her know how important it is that she stops making excuses and starts actively supporting the CVA." You can also contact her by e-mail at ephillips@nysenate. gov.

"If you do not live in Phillips’ district, visit www.nysenate.gov to find your senator’s contact information."

Trump’s foreign policy a clear danger Continued from Page 16 the arms of China; and actual wars with North Korea and Iran (could you imagine that Axis of Evil teaming up?) and into the arms of Russia, while at the same time pissing off European and Asian allies (he is still tight with Saudi Arabia and India to bolster his business interests).

Trump is a disaster in domestic policy (environmental protection, health care, immigration reform, tax reform, infrastructure, criminal justice, civil rights), but is the most dangerous in the sphere of foreign policy where he has the most power and least constraint, and is also the most ignorant, incurious and impulsive, where he can feed his narcissism with red carpets, billboards and sycophantic praise.

And more significantly, it is

where the shiny objects are – the military, the medals. He would see war, which forces the nation to rally around a leader who is also endowed with martial powers, as a political “get out of jail free” card.

Trump is angling to loosen constraints on the use of nuclear weapons and develop a new low-yield nuclear warhead for U.S. Trident and spend $1 trillion to “modernize” our nuclear weapons. He said boo about Putin showing a new nucleararmed missile designed to evade American defenses (and land on Florida).

He doesn’t seem the least bit perturbed over the prospect of a new arms race – another way to steer billions to cronies and away from domestic programs.

“If Trump wants to use nu-

clear weapons, whether it’s ‘legal’ won’t matter,” The Washington Post reported.

Putin, who unlike Trump, does have a long-term endgame of reestablishing Russia’s glory as a czarist empire, is getting so much more than he anticipated when he unleashed his disinformation campaign to sow chaos in the American election system and liberal democracies elsewhere, and undermine global alliances (which the US dominated) including NATO and the Paris Climate Agreement, fostering, even funding populist nationalism with their version of “America First.” (An unanticipated win?

Collapsing the U.S. economy and its trade alliances.)

Congress needs to reassert itself – yes, even the Republicans, who so far have been content

thinking they have a patsy who will do their dastardly work of dismantling Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid and ending Obamacare.

They need to assert the fact that only Congress can declare war, and pull back on Yemen and the kowtowing arrangement with Saudi Arabia, and make it clear that they will not tolerate a first-strike against North Korea.

They also have it in their power to continue the Iran Nuclear Deal (even congresspeople who were against it before now see the wisdom).

Shortly after the John Bolton appointment was announced, a thought flashed through me: what if we really are seeing the end of times, the end of humanity, in our own lifetimes?

There is the possibility that

as the midterms loom and Republicans realize they will get drowned in a blue wave of complicity with Trump that Republican leadership will go to Trump with a deal he can’t refuse: resign “for personal reasons” or be impeached.

This would save Pence and the possibility of retaining the White House in 2020, and even their own hides in 2018.

Mangano attorneys Town committee eyes go after Singh landscape equipment

BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Attorneys for former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano and his wife Linda spent the last few days challenging the testimony of Harendra Singh, the restauranteur who said he bribed the Manganos in exchange for government contracts.

On Tuesday, Singh admitted that Linda Mangano, who he said he had hired for a no-show job, did more work than he realized. According to Newsday, Linda’s attorney John Carman presented several emails of Linda reaching out to the managers of Singh’s restaurants, offering to work weekends and discussing proofs for new menus.

“I had no idea,” Singh said of the interactions, Newsday reported.

Singh had previously testified that Linda was given the no-show, $450,000 job in order to secure contracts from her husband.

The exchange was part of the fourth week# of the Manganos’ and# Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto’s trial in Central Islip.

Edward Mangano and Venditto are charged with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and honest services wire fraud. Mangano was additionally charged with extortion and Venditto with securities fraud.

Linda Mangano is charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements to the FBI and obstruction of justice. All three have pleaded not guilty.

Attorneys presented Singh with evidence all week that contradicted his claim that his gifts to the Manganos were given in exchange for contacts.

On Monday, a wiretapped conversa-

tion between him and a retired Nassau police detective was presented.

During the call, Singh said that he didn’t have any story about any politician and that anything he could tell investigators would be# “all lies,” Newsday reported.

Singh replied by saying he was lying at the time, in order to protect the people he was doing business with.

Carman sought to establish a close connection between Singh and Linda, like Ed Magano’s attorney Kevin Keating did last week.

He displayed text messages where the two referred to each other as close friends, and Carmen insinuated that Linda’s job was due to that friendship, not because Singh wanted access to Mangano, Newsday reported.

Other evidence was presented to contradict Singh’s testimony that Linda did nothing while working for him.

Correspondences with Joseph Scalice, then the general manager of one of Singh’s restaurants, referred to Linda Mangano as “terrific,” Newsday reported. He said that she appeared in her office, made phone calls, got price quotes and discussed details of the business.

Singh was also cross-examined by Venditto’s attorney Marc Agifilo.

He questioned Singh about the loan guarantee Singh received from Oyster Bay. Singh had called the objections to the loan from outside counsel Jonathan Sinnreich “devastating,” Newsday reported, but Agifilo pointed out that those objections were minor.

Unlike the Manganos, Singh said that he was never close to Venditto.

“I was not friends with John Venditto,” Singh said, according to Newsday.

“We had a business relationship.”

BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N The Town of North Hempstead has created an advisory committee to help draft a gas-powered landscape equipment law, officials said on Wednesday, months after first announcing it at a September meeting where regulations were first proposed.

At that September meeting, council members proposed a law barring the use of gas-powered leaf blowers between June 1 and Sept. 30, which would have excluded homeowners using gas-powered leaf-blowers and not gone into effect until June 2019 so “battery powered equipment” could improve.

The meeting room was packed with landscapers, residents and some medical professionals, with every seat filled and dozens of people standing on the side or just outside the meeting room.

Landscapers and business owners at the time argued switching to battery or electricpowered blowers would add several hours of work, in turn pushing additional costs onto consumers.

They also said their equipment meets professional guidelines on noise and environmental requirements and that issues residents face primarily come from unlicensed operators.

Residents and medical doctors had

argued that gas-powered leaf blowers are spewing toxic chemicals and excessive sound into the air and said battery-powered leaf-blowers could reduce these hazards and still get the job done.

The town then decided to keep the hearing open and put together the 15-person advisory committee, consisting of landscapers, environmentalists, residents, and town representatives to work with the Town Attorney’s office to draft revised legislation.

Carole Trottere, a spokeswoman for the Town of North Hempstead, said the committee’s first meeting “was productive” and that they hope to have legislation drafted by the summer.

Once a revised law is drafted the town will publish a date for a public hearing.

“The goal of this advisory committee will be to give input and suggestions so that we can proceed with a wide range of knowledge,” Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said. “We are proceeding on this issue with thoughtfulness and patience.”

Currently the only prohibition with using leaf blowers comes with the times they can be operated, according to the town code.

Motorized leaf blowers, lawn mowers and other landscaping equipment cannot be used prior to 8 a.m. or after 7 p.m. on a weekday, or prior to 10 a.m. or after 5 p.m. on a weekend or legal holiday.

100 letters in Terry bid for mercy Continued from Page 1 ability to support his wife.”

“From a financial standpoint,” the court papers go on to say, “the defendant has, for all intents and purposes, no assets, lives in a rented home, with no reasonable prospects going forward.”

Among those who signed letters on Terry’s behalf were Rep. Thomas Suozzi, the former Nassau County Executive, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, former LIPA chairman and current head of the Nassau County IDA Richard Kessel, North Hempstead town Councilwomen Lee Seeman and Viviana Russell, Great Neck Plaza Mayor Jean Celender, former Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Jon Kaiman, and former state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel.

Stephen Scaring, one of Terry’s attorneys, said he never experienced such an influx of letters for any of his past clients and that it shows he has been both a “leader and a helper” to many people over the years, including civic associations in poorer areas of Long Island.

“It’s remarkable how many people have voluntarily written letters describing his very important assistance,” Scaring said.

Also on the list was Robert Troiano, who had served as a senior policy advisor to Supervisor Judi Bosworth before being selected by County Executive Laura Curran to become acting commissioner for traffic and parking violations.

Gerard Terry was first arrested on a state tax fraud charge in April 2016.

He resigned shortly before his confirmation following revelations of $81,533 in federal tax liens and a $749,264 lien on a house in foreclosure, which had not been disclosed on at least one financial disclosure statement.

The submission of letters came as federal prosecutors filed a sentencing memorandum recommending Terry serve 54 months – or four and a half years – in prison and pay full restitution due to “the seriousness of the offense,” “repeated disregard for the law,” and “the need for specific and general deterrence.”

Terry was once an influential political

leader, working at one time or another as an attorney for eight municipalities including Nassau County, the Town of North Hempstead and the Village of Manorhaven while serving as chairman of North Hempstead’s Democratic Party.

Prosecutors said that while serving as chairman of North Hempstead’s Democratic Party Terry failed to file income tax returns from 2000 to 2015 while making approximately $250,000 annually, thus failing to pay nearly $1 million in federal income taxes.

They also said Terry “routinely provided false, misleading and incomplete information” to the Internal Revenue Service, once created a checking account in the name of a corporate nominee to conceal income, and “pressured colleagues and subordinates to not comply with IRS notices of levy.”

Terry resigned from his chairman position in early 2016 and lost five government tax contracts following these revelations.

“Over the course of fifteen years, based on sources of income known to the government, Terry evaded more than $992,057 in federal income taxes, accumulating a federal tax debt of approximately $1.4 million,” prosecutors said in recently filed court papers. “He did this deliberately, intentionally and habitually, all while serving as a Democratic Party boss and receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars in government work.”

Unexpected increase in state aid Continued from Page 1 another $390,888.

“We’re looking to keep the tax levy as low as possible, so any increases in expenditures we are going to hopefully fund with the additional state aid and we may use additional fund balance and reserves,” Powell said/ Powell added that the state aid total was a “very surprising,” but “very generous” boost in state aid based on the overall wealth of the school district.

Don Ashkenase, the vice president of the Great Neck school board, said the $700,000 represented a 7.4 percent increase in state aid – nearly double the percentage of the average across other schools.

“It was good news,” Don Ashkenase, the vice president of the Great Neck school board, said of the extra aid Great Neck will be getting. “And I’m not sure I expected it, necessarily.”

Barbara Berkowitz, the president of the Great Neck school board, said board members have yet to have extensive talks with school administrators about how the extra $390,888 will be allocated.

“The board hasn’t discussed it yet with the administration,” Berkowitz said of the increased state aid in a Monday interview.

“My feeling is that it will go toward security.”

According to the district’s current preliminary budget, which does not take the additional state aid into account, state aid would account for 4.05 percent of the proposed $227.8 million budget, which would be a 2.01 percent increase from the current $223.3 million one.

The vast majority of the revenue in the#proposed budget – or 89.31 percent –comes from property taxes, which would increase 2.47 percent from $198.56 million to $203.46 million under the budget.

The boost in state aid comes from the state Senate passing a $168.3 billion state budget, with $26.7 billion of it going to-

Barbara Berkowitz, president of the Great Neck school board, prepares to respond as someone speaks before the board during open time. ward school aid. This is about 3.9 percent higher than last year.

The increased focus on boosting school security follows a March 5 school board budget meeting in which#school officials and police officers from Nassau County fielded questions, comments and concerns from parents and students for more than three hours about security.

Preceding that meeting were social media posts construed as shooting threats, which prompted many parents to let their children stay home, and a mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida on Feb. 14 that killed 17 people.

School officials recently expressed support for boosting the school’s security spending, which is currently proposed to be more than $2 million.

Cost of a Great Neck education Continued from Page 2 tent.”

The school district tends to use four different cost per pupil measurements instead: regular education for kindergarten to sixth grade and seventh grade to 12th grade and special education for kindergarten to sixth grade and seventh grade to 12th grade.

For kindergarten through sixth grade, the school spends about $16,512 per regular education student and $79,384 per special education student at the same grade-range, Powell said.

The school calculates that it spends $24,386 per sixth to 12th grade regular education student, Powell said, and $87,258 per special education student at the same graderange.

Roslyn Heights man hits North Shore student art East Hills pedestrians: cops displayed at museum

BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I A Roslyn Heights man was charged with driving while intoxicated on Saturday after allegedly hitting a father and son walking through East Hills.

Robert Corey, 45, of Roslyn Heights, was charged with driving while intoxicated, two counts of third-degree assault and two counts of second-degree reckless endangerment.

According to Nassau County police, Corey was driving a 2015 Volvo northbound on Locust Lane near Fairfield Lane when he drifted across the southbound lane around 12:15 a.m. Saturday and struck a 54-year-old man and his 17-yearold son who were walking southbound on the west side of the street.

Corey called 911 and remained at the scene before being arrested.

Both victims were transported to a local hospital and are being treated for nonlife threatening injuries.

Corey was released Saturday on $25,000 bond after his arraignment and is due back in First District Court in Hempstead on Thursday.

Robert Corey, 45, of Roslyn Heights, was charged with driving while intoxicated, assault and reckless endangerment after allegedly hitting a father and son walking through East Hills early Saturday morning.

It’s all about family at Rothchild’s of G.N. Continued from Page 2 said the tribute wasn’t something she’d initially expected, but “very sweet” and “very touching.”

Ultimately, she said, she hopes the restaurant will “be a place where people gather and feel good” and expressed confidence in her family’s ability to deliver good service and hospitality.

“It’s kind of overwhelming,” Roth, 87, said with a laugh as her eldest daughter Ruthann Nahum sat next to her.

But for Ruthann Nahum, who has been involved with Israeli dining for more than 30 years with her two sons, the opening of a restaurant dedicated to her father and mother seemed like “a natural progression.”

“He was always a big supporter of the town and he believed in Great Neck,” Nahum said. “I think he would have been a major supporter of this because he was always very proud of his children and grand-

bares the proof.”

And, of course, there was his love of dining.

“My father loved to go out to eat and he taught all of us to love to go out to eat and to really appreciate good food,” Nahum said, then speaking to her mother. “I think it’s because of the two of you, from the very beginning, we went into the restaurant business in Israel.”

After Passover the restaurant will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., but likely extend their hours later on.

Gutiérrez said she began doodling as a small child, being complimented for her drawings and growing in confidence as an artist through middle school.

Gutiérrez said she credits her art teacher Gregory Vedder with her recent growth as an artist.

“My art teacher definitely helped me build up my art skills,” Gutiérrez said. “He’s introduced me to new medias and styles of art, which has really helped me grow as an artist.”

Gutiérrez’s mixed media piece, she said, is a comment on how the modern world and especially younger generations base their worth on their possessions and accessories.

“Fashion statements for the modern generation should unite people as one, but really what it’s doing is causing anxiety among young people because they relate fashion with self-worth,” Gutiérrez said. “They feel like if they don’t have what everybody else has, like in my case popular shoes, they’re not as important as everyone else. I wanted to show that it’s not about what you wear, it’s about what you are as a person.”

Inspired by “Tuesday (Unravelled)” by Richard Karwoski, Gutiérrez said the boots in her piece convey the stereotypes of modern teenagers and the measuring tape represents aspirations for physical appearance.

“Actual measurements are not shown to emphasize my feelings that the numbers are unimportant,” Gutiérrez said. “Millennial Benchmarks expresses that physical appearance should bring people closer to one another, rather than to create anxiety among millennials.”

Autism’s impact on the family 69

Two well-known films about autism are “Rain Man” and “The Accountant.”

“Rain Man” starred Dustin Hoffman who played Raymond Babbitt and costarred Tom Cruise who played his brother. The film won four Oscars in 1988.

The other major film about autism was the 2016 film “The Accountant” starring Ben Affleck and costarring Jon Bernthal as his brother.

These two films featured characters who were autistic savants.

In “Rain Man” Dustin Hoffman demonstrated the autistic traits of repetitive speech, flat affect, poor eye contact, unusual hand movements, and rigid routines. He also showed uncanny memory and rapid

calculation.

In “The Accountant,” Ben Affleck played a character who was able to see hidden patterns in numbers and a zeal to complete tasks and these two abilities allowed him to achieve unusual success in the field of accounting.

In this column, I will explore the impact that autism has on the families.

Autism is considered a neurodevelopmental disor-

der striking about 1 in 68 as of 2012.

The diagnosis can now be made early on. There are a surprising number of famous people who have been diagnosed or who are thought to be either autistic or Asperger’s including Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Mozart, Mark Twain, George Orwell, Lewis Carrol, Temple Grandin, Daryl Hannah, Andy Warhol and Dan Aykroyd.

The symptoms include repetitive speech, lack of social awareness, inability to sustain friendships, poor eye contact, failure to understand personal boundaries, rigid routines, narrowed interests, an insistence on finishing tasks, excellent pattern recognition, and superior math skills.

Professional Guide

The impact of Autism on the family Continued from Page 106 Unfortunately, they are often ridiculed and bullied by their peers for being different or odd. Much has been written about the autistic sufferer but far less about the families of the autistic child. The parents uniformly report feelings of exhaustion, stress, financial burdens, isolation, shame and anxiety.

Siblings of the autistic children often feel neglected, ashamed and worried.

I am a sports psychologist and naturally, I know much about the people in the world of sports.

I would like to tell you about two exemplary cases of athletes who have been touched by autism and developmental disability and how they managed to cope.

The first case is that of “The Big Easy,” Ernie Els. He is a Hall of Fame golfer who has won four majors and 65 titles worldwide.

This South African was labeled “The Big Easy” because of his smooth effortless swing and his casual relaxed manner.

Ernie and his wife Liezl were living the

good life with a young daughter Samantha but when their second child was born the family learned about autism first hand.

Ben Els was soon diagnosed with autism and the way Ernie described it was “first we were in shock, then we felt a phase of disappointment but then we knew we must move ahead.” And their way of ‘moving ahead’ was to establish the Els Center of Excellence in Jupiter, Fla. The center opened its doors in 2015 and is one of the world’s state of the art centers for research and treatment of autism. It has divisions in education, research, global outreach, recreational services, therapy and adult services.

The second case is that of the Jordan Spieth family.

Jordan Spieth is a professional golf superstar and you may have noticed his image on the Wheaties box.

In 2016 Time Magazine included him in the list of “100 most influential people in the world” stating he “exemplifies everything that is great about sports.”

He is young, handsome, fearless, a multiple major winner, and has already been

ranked No. 1 in the world. But his story has been defined by his younger sister Ellie who is not autistic but who is seriously developmentally delayed.

The reason that Spieth is so well loved is that he consistently displays an attitude of kindness, loyalty and respect for his peers and his fans. In turn, they love him right back. He is the only golfer that has the charismatic warmth and genuine likability of Arnold Palmer.

Spieth has toughness and warmth. And I guarantee you he acquired this goodness of character because of his disabled sister.

Any hint of narcissism that he may have had was extinguished and replaced by empathy and compassion.

I described the films “Rain Man” and “The Accountant” two films showing how a sibling of an autistic child is destined to develop a special warmth, protectiveness and sympathy for the more unfortunate one.

Life works in mysterious ways.

When tragedy comes into a family there is shock and then there is grief. Any family who has raised an autistic child understands this all too well. But the way human nature

works is that we have an enormous capacity to adapt, to endure and to overcome.

Humans beings grow beyond tragedy in remarkable ways. The most beautiful flower in existence is the ghost orchid that is only found in the darkest and most dismal swamps on earth.

Susan Orlean’s book “The Orchid Thief” was all about this miracle flower.

Jordan Spieth overcame his family’s tragedy and so did Ernie Els and his wife.

But they are merely two examples of what happens in every family with an autistic child. The siblings and the parents suffer mightily but the suffering creates in them something kind and good and gentle.

I see this in the families I treat who have an autistic child. It is just like Jordan Spieth said when asked about his sister “Ellie is the best thing that ever happened to our family.”

So if you have been raising an autistic child or one of your siblings is one do not lose hope. Take a moment to think about all that goodness and strength and compassion that has been born within you.

That will be your legacy.

COMMUNITY & SCHOOL NEWS

Northwell a leader in LGBTQ health care Nineteen Northwell Health hospitals – 22 facilities in all – have been designated a Leader in LGBTQ Healthcare Equality by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation’s 2018 Healthcare Equality Index.

The Healthcare Equality Index is a national benchmarking tool that evaluates health care facilities by examining patient, visitation and employment policies to measure inclusiveness of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community at large.

The 11th annual survey saw Northwell facilities score high marks from among the more than 1,600 facilities nationwide that either actively participated or were independently researched by the Healthcare Equality Index.!

“Northwell Health continues to take great pride in its commitment to provide culturally sensitive, respectful and humanistic care to our diverse communities,” said Dr. Jennifer Mieres, chief diversity and inclusion officer and senior vice president of the health system’s Center for Equity of Care. “This has been substantiated by our participation and recognition in the HRC Healthcare Equality Index for 2018.!We strive to break down barriers and offer individualized, compassionate health care to each and every person inclusive of members of our community who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer. It is a great privilege — and a great responsibility — as we continue our call to action to re-ignite humanism in

health care.”

Nineteen Northwell hospitals were honored: Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park, Glen Cove Hospital, Huntington Hospital, Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, LIJ Forest Hills, LIJ Valley Stream, Manhattan Eye Ear and Throat, North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mt. Kisco,

Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead, Phelps Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, Plainview Hospital, Southside Hospital in Bay Shore, South Oaks Hospital in Amityville, Staten Island University Hospital (North and South campuses), Syosset Hospital, Zucker Hillside Hospital in New Hyde Park.

In addition, the Center for Transgender Care in Great Neck, Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset and Lenox Health Greenwich Village each earned the designation.

“Partnerships with LGBTQ organizations and communities are critical components in our journey to health equity and have enhanced our delivery of culturally sensitive, respectful and humanistic care,” said Mi-

chael Wright, vice president for Diversity and Health Equity at Northwell.

“This is an esteemed honor for our health system to not only continue to participate, but to receive the designation as a national LGBTQ leader by the Healthcare Equality Index,” said Edward Fraser, vice president of Community Relations at Northwell. “By engaging our LGBTQ employees and our allies through our business employee resource group, ‘EXPRESSIONS,’ we have seen tremendous organizational impact and growth each year we participate, which continues to demonstrate Northwell’s commitment to the LGBTQ community.”

North Hempstead eying online auctions

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN North Hempstead town officials are eying a possible revision to the town code that could allow the town to auction abandoned ATVs and cars online, according to a town press release.

The proposed law would

“allow auctions of personal property to occur via the internet” and “clarify the notice provisions to be compiled with prior to an auction,” according to a resolution setting the public hearing date for April 17, 2018. “…The leaving, abandonment and/or discarding of personal property in public places

within the Town is adverse to the public welfare of the inhabitants of the Town and injurious to the personal and property rights of such inhabitants,” the town code reads.

The town code regarding the disposal of abandoned personal property was last amended more than 30 years ago in

1984. While it allows for the Highway Department to auction off abandoned motor vehicles at a “public auction,” there is currently no clear allowance for such to be done online.

The Superintendent of Highways, under town code, may remove property abandoned in a public place within

the town and take it to a relevant town facility. Notice of removal will then be given to the owner, provided identifying information is available.

After 14 days, the town reserves the right to sell off abandoned personal property in a public auction.

Dueling petitions filed over Hofstra statue

BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I Petitions have been filed and protests have been held both for and against a Hofstra University statue of President Thomas Jefferson.

The petition to remove the statue in front of Hofstra’s Sondra and David S. Mack Student Center was created first and has garnered 994 signatures as of Tuesday afternoon.

Created by Hofstra student Ja’Loni Owens, the petition calls to remove the statue based on Jefferson’s ownership of slaves.

“For prospective students, this is one of the first buildings that they walk into when touring the university,” Owens wrote. “At almost every single Admitted Students Day, families pose in front of the Student Center to take photos and share hugs and smiles after successful college visits.

“It is unfortunate then that a bronze sculpture of a 71-year-old Thomas Jefferson, gifted to the university by Hofstra Trustee David Mack, is right in front of the Student Center.”

The statue was donated in

1999.

A counter petition to keep the statue, created by student Richard Caldwell, seeks to protect the statue because of the many other things Jefferson did for the country despite his flaws.

“As we sit here, almost 250 years later, we see a country that has grown exponentially,” Caldwell wrote. “Are we without are problems? No, we’re not, but no one is perfect.

What should be remembered, though, is that democracy was not always the status quo. In fact, for thousands of years, tyranny rained supreme as the most widely used form of government. Thomas Jefferson wrote the document that changed all that.”

The petition to keep the statue has garnered 1,571 signatures as of Tuesday afternoon.

Both groups also held protests on campus on Friday, including a student-only closed protest inside the student center, Newsday reported.

The university’s website describes Jefferson as an inspiration for early campus architects, “as represented by the ‘quadrangle and great lawn’

between Hauser Hall, Memorial Hall and the Adams Playhouse, and Memorial Quad between Hofstra Hall, Calkins Hall, Brower Hall and Barnard

Hall. Hofstra has continued the tradition of the quadrangle all over the campus.”

According to a Hosftra University statement, the school

will set up a meeting with President Stuart Rabinowitz and other university officials to discuss the statue’s future.

Law links domestic and gun violence

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Legislation mandating the removal of firearms in all domestic violence cases sponsored in the state Senate by Elaine Phillips passed both houses of New York’s legislature on Saturday, following a vote against gun control measures and later expressing support for them early last month.

While current state law had prohibited individuals with serious offenses or felonies from owning certain firearms, domestic violence-related misdemeanor offenses such as strangulation, assault and battery were omitted from state law.

Current law also did not mandate the removal of rifles and shotguns in order of protection cases, firearm license suspensions or mental health disqualifications.

“This common-sense legislation closes the gap in federal law, protects women from their abusers and will save countless lives,” Phillips, a Republican from Flower Hill, said in a statement.

“By keeping firearms out of the hands of those who are convicted of domestic violence, we are protecting victims who are known to be at risk.”

The legislation passed 85-32 in the State Assembly and 41-19 in the State Senate.

Firearms were used in 25 domestic homicides in New York in 2016 alone, with almost one-quarter of all victims in state homicides having a domestic relationship with the perpetrator, according to the state Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence.

FBI and state crime data suggests that one woman in the United States is fatally shot by a current or former intimate partner every 16 hours. Having a gun also magnifies the risk of homicide in a domestic violence situation by 500 percent, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

“Domestic violence victims are five times more likely to be killed if their abuser owns a firearm,” said Cindy Scott, the executive director of Safe Center LI. “Firearms have no place in the hands of domestic abusers and we thank Senator

Phillips for listening to our concerns and getting this important legislation passed to protect women.”

The legislation was one part of a number of measures Phillips suggested when she expressed interest in gun control measures early last month to try curtailing mass shootings.

These measures included stronger background checks, “a real and workable mechanism” to prevent certain people from accessing firearms, and a ban on bump stocks and military-style assault weapons, and classifying mass shootings as domestic terrorism so law enforcement officials could gain access to more tools.

Phillips’ five steps are similar to the gun control proposals she chose not to initially support when, according to The New York Times, Democrats tried and failed to force the Republican majority to vote on gun control measures with a hostile amendment – attaching the proposals to an existing bill.

The measures called for longer background checks, the formation of an institution to study gun violence, giving courts the ability to prevent potentially violent people from buying guns and a ban on possession of bump stocks, according to The Times.

So far, of those measures, only preventing potentially violent people from buying guns has made it through the Senate.

The state Senate, however, also passed a set of school safety laws that would incentivize the hiring of school resource officers with state funding and peace officer status, provide aid for school security technology, and boost access to school-based mental health services.

The closure of the domestic abuser loophole was also one Gov. Andrew Cuomo advocated for as part of his 2018 Women’s Agenda.

“New York is once against leading the way to prevent gun violence, and with this common-sense reform, break the inextricable link between gun violence and domestic violence,” Cuomo said in a statement.
