Phillips wins as GOP holds state Senate BY J OE N I K I C , STEPHEN ROMANO AND MAX ZAHN
In two hotly contested state Legislature races, Republican Elaine Phillips defeated Democrat Adam Haber in the 7th Senate district, while Democrat Anthony
D’Urso defeated Republican Matt Varvaro on Tuesday night. In two other state races, Democrat Charles Lavine comfortably retained his seat in the 13th Assembly district against Republican Jeffrey Vitale, while Republican Ed Ra decisively defeated Democrat Gary Port to retain his seat in the 19th Assembly district.
In a tight race to replace outgoing state Sen. Jack Martins in the 7th Senate district, Phillips defeated her opponent, Democrat Adam Haber, by 4,161 votes, out of 127,308 cast. Haber, an East Hills businessman, received 59,169 votes on the Democratic line to his opponent’s 58,455 Republican votes, but 5,490 Conservative Party votes
pushed Phillips over the top in the race for a 52 percent to 48 percent victory. “When I began this campaign six months ago, I asked the voters of this district to look at my record of cutting taxes, working to enact strong ethics and protect the environment,” she said. “Voters agreed that we need a Senator Continued on Page 23

Lead contamination Alzheimer’s study found in schools gets $500K grant 10 water fixtures closed due to high lead levels
Aims to find treatment for aggression
BY M A X Z A H N
BY M A X Z A H N
The Manhasset school district found 10 water fixtures with lead levels above the New York State limit during tests in September and October, said Armand Markarian, the director of school facilities. The fixtures, which include eight faucets and two combination faucets and drinking fountains, have been shut and will be repaired or replaced. One of the fixtures was located at Munsey Park Elementary School, four were located at Shelter Rock Elementary School, and five were located at Manhasset Secondary School. “The state requires us to take action at certain levels of lead,” Markarian said in a presentation last Thursday in the library at Munsey Park Elementary School. The legal limit for lead is 15 parts per billion, which Markarian noted is a very small amount. The state Department of Health mandates schools instruct students not to drink water at those levels, but it can still be used for hand washing or cleaning. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there is no known safe blood lead level. Exposure to lead can seriously harm a child’s health. Exposure increases the risks of damage to the brain and nervous system, slowed growth and development, learning and behavior problems, and hearing and speech problems. Risk varies depending on the individual, the circumstances and the amount of water consumed. Elevated lead levels that exceed EPA standards were found in June in five schools in the Port Washington School District, but officials said no students or staff members were exposed to high levels of lead.
Many expect a friend or relative diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease to experience severe memory loss, but fewer realize that the disease can bring additional symptoms of aggression and violence, said Dr. Peter Davies, director of the Litwin-Zucker Research Center for the Study of Alzheimer’s Disease, a division of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset. “Those features are terribly troublesome to families, and they’re extremely difficult to treat,” Davies said. “There is no good explanation of why they happen.” Up to 50 percent of Alzheimer’s patients exhibit agitated behavior, according to the Geriatric and Mental Health Foundation. Some of that behavior escalates into violence.
Davies and his colleague at Litwin-Zucker, Dr. Jeremy Koppel, received a $500,000 grant from the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America last Monday to find out why the aggression occurs and to develop a treatment for it. Charles J. Fuschillo Jr., president and chief executive officer of the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, said the organization is “proud to partner with Dr. Davies” for what he called “a critical study.” Davies has given the keynote speeches at two educational conferences organized this year by the Alzheimer’s Foundation, including one that took place two weeks ago at the Marriott Hotel in Melville, Fuschillo said The grant will fund five years of research, during which the scientists will model the disease in Continued on Page 48
Manhasset Secondary School, where five water fixtures were found to have lead contamination above the New York State limit. Manhasset School Superintendent Charles Cardillo told meeting attendees that the Manhasset district “did a remarkable amount of testing” that dates back to last school year. Over two rounds of testing, the district took a total of 480 samples, approximately 98 percent of which were found to be below the legal limit, Markarian said. In the first round of testing, which took place at the end of last school year and over the summer, the school tested 90 samples and ensured that all locations tested were below the state limit before the beginning of the 2016-17 school year, Markarian said. A second round of testing
took place in September and October as a result of legislation signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Sept. 6, which mandated that all schools in the state undergo rigorous testing by the end of October. In that round of testing 390 samples were taken, and the 10 water outlets were found to exceed the state lead limit, he said. The district has spent $32,000 on the sinks and bubblers for testing, repair and replacement parts, he said. Markarian estimates it will spend $40,000 in total. Those expenses will include replacement bubblers called Elkay bottle filler refrigerated water fountains, which cost Continued on Page 48

Chris Mullin to sell Flower Hill home St. John’s mens basketball coach lists the mansion at $3.85M BY M A X Z A H N Chris Mullin, head coach of the St. John’s men basketball team and former NBA player, has put his Manhasset home on the market, said Catherine Matteo, the broker for the property. Located in Flower Hill, the six-bedroom home is listed at $3.85 million. “It has a tremendous amount of space,” Matteo said. “There is anything from a gym to a study to a den to a family room.” Its 15 rooms also include an office, laundry, dining room and dine-in kitchen. Plus “one of the home’s most distinctive features is a conservatory, which includes a chandelier and space for another dining area under its many windows,” wrote Luke Stangel at realtor.com. Built in 1938, the home sits on a one-acre, tree-lined lot at 370 Manhasset Woods Road. “It’s a tudor-style home that has been updated for today’s type of living,” said Matteo,

Neighbors criticize home construction BY M A X Z A H N Plandome Heights residents criticized homeowner Andy Chung on Monday at a public hearing on a requested one-year extension for a permit to build a house along Manhasset Bay. The Board of Trustees will make a decision on the extension of the permit for a construction project that began as long as three years ago. Mayor Kenneth Riscica said any extension would likely include a significant fee increase and weekly inspections. “Elongated building projects are very disruptive to residents and they’re not very happy about it,” Riscica said. “The village has a strong interest in projects moving quickly and rightfully so.” The current village permit, which expires in December, allowed Chung to continue a construction project that began seven years ago when he applied for state permits, said Ed Butt, the building inspector for the village. Butt opened the public hearing with a presentation to the audience members and trustees, some of whom live near Chung’s home at 200 The Tideway.
“There have been a lot of delays in the project over the last two years,” Butt said. “There’s been progress in the last 10 to 12 weeks but there’s another one year of work to be done. I think it will get done.” The homeowner was then given an opportunity to address the meeting. “The project is moving well right now,” Chung said. “We’re almost finished with the outside bricks and the sanitary system is almost done.” Chung appeared with his new general contractor, Lin Chung, who said the home’s frame has been completely erected. Plumbing and electric have yet to be installed, he acknowledged. Laura Maurischat, a village resident, expressed frustration about the ongoing construction and asked Riscica if the oneyear extension would be the last given. “From what I see, the project Kenneth Riscica, Mayor of Plandome Heights. is moving in drips and drabs,” she added. “I’m worried a year will He said the New York State years, before Chung applied for slip by.” Department of Environmental and received approval from the Riscica said the village has Conservation permit process set village to proceed with building dealt with comparable circumback the construction several two to three years ago. stances before and described its
options as unpleasant. “If we don’t allow the extension, then it’s very bad for the homeowner. If we do give a oneyear extension then we would want to include provisions that sufficiently motivate the homeowner, because the work doesn’t seem to be moving with urgency.” Chung’s neighbor, Joanne Anderson, said she was living in her home near the bayside property when Chung bought it in 2003. “The fence has been obstructing or partially obstructing the water for years. I’m worried my children will be hurt by the trucks,” she said. “Chung is not a good neighbor. He has never lived in the house,” she added. She then asserted that Chung intended to sell or rent the home upon its completion. “Do you plan to live there?” interjected Riscica, directing the question at Chung. “Yes,” he said. Andrew Fietta, Chung’s next door neighbor, said he did not object to a one-year extension. “I’ve built two homes and things happen with a domino Continued on Page 47

Plan for major spending cuts: NIFA Nassau County’s financial control board requests plans to fill deficit in 2017 budget BY N O A H MANSKAR Nassau County’s financial control board asked county officials last Wednesday to make plans for major spending cuts in case the final county budget fails to meet the board’s standards. In a letter, Adam Barsky, chairman of the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, told County Executive Edward Mangano and his administration to develop three contingency plans — one cutting $50 million in spending from the county’s $3 billion budget, another cutting $75 million and a third cutting $100 million. NIFA wants the county to submit the plans by Nov. 16 and says they should contain “detailed initiatives that can be immediately implemented” to reduce spending, according to the letter. The NIFA board of directors must approve the county’s annual budget and four-year spending plan. The plans could

The Nassau County Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. be implemented if NIFA ultimately rejects the budget, the authority says. The letter was sent two days after the Nassau Legislature approved a budget that was short about $70 million in revenue from new and increased fees proposed by Mangano on which the Legislature did not vote,
a move Barsky called “deeply troubling.” Presiding Office Norma Gonsalves has said lawmakers will fill the hole by Dec. 1. Brian Nevin, a spokesman for Mangano, a Republican, said the Legislature will likely finalize a balanced budget at its Nov. 21 meeting.
My
“In the meantime, the deputy county executive for finance is reviewing NIFA’s letter and preparing contingencies should the Legislature not fund the budget they approved on October 31,” Nevin wrote in an email. In a statement, Gonsalves said the Legislature has told NIFA of its plan to take more time to “evaluate potential budgetary alternatives that have been brought to our attention, and that all contemplated revenues would be in place well before fiscal 2017.” Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D-Hempstead) said the NIFA letter indicates “the governing of this county has spiraled out of control.” The letter foreshadows another showdown with NIFA after the authority last year rejected the 2016 budget, threatening major spending cuts and stricter controls before agreeing to a quarterly budget review process. If NIFA rejects the final budget proposal, it will order county officials to revise it and pres-
ent it to NIFA for another vote. A NIFA report last month said Mangano’s proposed budget contained $217 million in risks and found it would result in a deficit of $99.5 million according to generally accepted accounting principles, which do not count borrowing as operating revenue. Among the risky revenue was $64 million from a proposed “public safety fee,” a widely panned $105 surcharge for all traffic and parking tickets. Mangano’s budget proposed about $83 million in revenue from dozens of new and increased fees. The Republicancontrolled Legislature this week struck $9.2 million of that and cut spending by about the same amount. Mangano will be involved in budget talks in the coming weeks following his indictment last month on federal corruption charges. He has pleaded not guilty and denied any wrongdoing.

Suozzi reclaims mantle of fighter BY N O A H M A N S K A R Tom Suozzi was sitting at home with a cold on Jan. 5 when his phone started to ring. That was the day U.S. Rep. Steve Israel announced he would retire from Congress at the end of his 16th year, a surprise that caused a political stir on the North Shore. The deluge of calls Suozzi got that afternoon encouraging him to run for Israel’s 3rd Congressional District seat took the edge off the cold and the existential questions he was asking himself about what to do next in his career. “I’m getting texts, I’m getting messages, and I’m like, ‘Ooh, this is the happiest I’ve been in a while,’” said Suozzi, a former Nassau County executive from Glen Cove, on a recent Saturday afternoon, following a few hours of campaign events. Suozzi has said he lost his last three elections because he relied too heavily on political consultants who sought to curb his passion and idealism. But as he looks to return to public office, he and his aides say this campaign represents a return to Suozzi’s former political self — a firebrand unafraid to fight big fights with big ideas. Consultants are on board this time, but Suozzi is behind the wheel, he said. “This is more like how I used to campaign,” he said.

Democratic congressional candidate Tom Suozzi appears at a Sikh parade in Queens on Saturday, Oct. 29. That’s reflected in Suozzi’s stump speech, which he delivers exuberantly without written notes. It’s centered on his pledge to take on powerful interests to make change in Washington as he did in New York, interspersed with jokes and one-liners. It’s also reflected in his retail campaigning, which Suozzi said is a part of the job he loves. “The great thing about politics is you

have a window into people’s lives,” Suozzi said. “I get to see so many different cultures and people’s lives, and great celebrations as well as tragedy. But I really get to see — I see life.” Suozzi defeated four Democrats in a June primary to become his party’s nominee. Blank Slate Media was unable to spend time on the campaign trail with Suozzi’s Republican opponent, state Sen. Jack Martins
of Old Westbury. Suozzi displayed comfort with meeting new people, no matter how brief the interaction, during campaign stops across the district on Oct. 29. Between addressing a Shabbat service at Temple Chai in Dix Hills and a group of senior citizens at The Bristal Assisted Living in North Hills, Suozzi stopped briefly at a parade in Bellerose, Queens, celebrating a Sikh holiday. He stopped at every table during a meal after a Shabbat service at Temple Chai in Dix Hills while taking time to discuss the Iran nuclear deal and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with members. Suozzi said he likes to break the ice with phrases in foreign languages. On this particular day he greeted people in Hindi, Hebrew and Italian, and sang a song in Polish. He’s also spoken Chinese, Korean and other languages on the campaign trail. The practice gives people a sense of comfort as Suozzi tries to persuade them that he would best represent the ethnically and culturally diverse district stretching from northeast Queens to northwest Suffolk County, he said. He hopes personal connections will give supporters faith in him when he starts fighting the battles against “powerful interests” that he has promised, he said. Continued on Page 50

Dems seek to bar OK for unbalanced budget BY N O A H M A N S K A R Democratic Nassau County legislators introduced a bill Monday to prevent the Legislature from passing an unbalanced budget ever again. The bill would amend the county charter to require the Legislature to both adopt and fully fund a budget for the following ďŹ scal year by Oct. 30. The charter now only

Herricks schools may diversify holidays BY S A M U E L GLASSER AND NOAH MANSKAR The Herricks school district is looking to add four Hindu, Muslim and Chinese holidays to the school calendar, a move supported by many students and parents. But a discussion at Thursday night’s school board meeting was just “the first stage” of a process that contains many steps, said Fino Celano, the district’s superintendent. “The discussion will continue,” said Nancy Feinstein, the school board president. “We have some hurdles to overcome.” The district wants to designate the Chinese Lunar New Year, Diwali, the Hindu festival of light, and the Muslim holidays of Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha official school holidays, as other districts in Nassau County and the New York City schools have, Celano said. The discussion started a few years ago when the board noted demographic shifts in the district, said Nancy Feinstein, the school board president. She said “it’s just a matter of time” until the holidays can be added.

School districts throughout the North Shore have seen populations of minority students increase between 2005 and 2015, state Education Department data shows. Herricks has seen the biggest change in student demographics.
Students of Asian descent account for about 57 percent of the student body, up from 45 percent in 2005-06. Over the same period, the white student population decreased to 35 percent from 50 percent. The four holidays in ques-

tion are reckoned by the lunar calendar; their corresponding dates on the Gregorian calendar vary from year-to-year. The school board faces several constraints in adding holidays, either because of the district’s teachers union contract or state regulations, Celano said. For example, he said, the state Education Department mandates 180 days of instruction that have to fit between Sept. 1 and the week of Regents exams, typically held during the third week of June. Schools cannot be open on federal holidays and five consecutive days off must be given during spring and winter breaks. Calendar modifications would also depend on the schedule of the state Regents exams, Feinstein said. Parents on Thursday spoke highly of the quality and ethnic diversity of Herricks schools. Some said their children are often torn between wanting to celebrate the holidays with family and the fear of falling behind if they miss school.

to the board a petition with 522 students’ signatures supporting the inclusion of the holidays on the calendar. One parent said, “home life and school life are needed for success. A family should not have to chose between school and family values.” Celano said he hopes a revised district calendar can be drafted by January. The East Williston school district is also considering adding three new holidays to next year’s school calendar after an initial discussion last year about adding the Lunar New Year, district Superintendent Elaine Kanas said. Asian students represented 19 percent of the student body in the 2015-16 school year, up from 7 percent in 2005-06, state data shows. Mark Kamberg, the East Williston school board president, said calendar discussions are happening in many other districts. “I think school districts across Long Island are taking a look at their demographics and taking a look at their calendarbuilding process,” Kamberg said.
Democrat Arnold Drucker easily defeated Republican Louis Imbroto in an election for Nassau County’s 16th legislative district seat, which opened up after the unexpected death of longtime county Legislator Judy Jacobs. “I’m very excited for this opportunity,” said Drucker, who lives in Plainview and runs a law practice in Jackson Heights. “My primary goal is to do the kind of work that would make Judy Jacobs proud.” Drucker garnered 17,647 votes, which comprised 58 percent of the electorate; while Imbroto took in 12,774 votes, which amounted to 42 percent. The county’s 16th Legislative District takes in parts of Roslyn Heights, Old Westbury and the Town of Oyster Bay. Imbroto, also of Plainview, is the associate general counsel for the Nassau Health Care Corporation. He remained upbeat in spite of the loss. “I’m really proud of the results because this was a tough district,” he said. “I’m thrilled that I had a chance to present my plans to the voters.” Jacobs’ death, on Sept. 13, brought the two candidates into an unexpected sprint toward Election Day. Throughout the campaign, they both expressed admiration for Jacobs but dis-
parate visions for how to carry on her legacy in addressing issues of corruption, taxes, and spending. Drucker’s victory sets the makeup of the County Legislature at 12 Republicans and 7 Democrats, denying the Republicans a supermajority, which would have allowed them to pass large spending measures without a Democratic vote. A primary feature of Drucker’s campaign was his criticism of the alleged malfeasance perpetrated by County Executive Edward Mangano, who was indicted for corruption charges on Oct. 20. Drucker said he supported a proposal by Nassau County District Madeline Singas and endorsed by Democratic legislators to institute an independent inspector general as a means of bolstering county oversight. Imbroto focused his campaign on cutting property taxes, which he blamed for forcing middle-income residents to move away from Nassau County. He said he would cut wasteful spending i to mitigate the loss of revenue that would result from the tax cut. “I’m going to remain active in the community, reaching out to people and trying to work with politicians,” Imbroto said, expressing a desire to run for office again. Drucker, meanwhile, was eager to begin his term. “I cant wait to roll up my sleeves and get going,” he said.

Tax breaks cost revenue
T
he Nassau County Legislature approved a $2.9 billion 2017 budget last week — with $70 million less in revenue than expenses. The Nassau County comptroller’s office issued subpoena’s last week to the Hempstead Town Industrial Agency and two Hempstead Town officials regarding tax breaks the agency granted to Green Acres Mall. The two actions are not unrelated. Year after year, Nassau — one of the wealthiest counties in New York State — has used all kinds of gimmicks in what are usually unsuccessful efforts to balance the budget without raising property taxes. This year that effort features a proposal by Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano to impose a $105 traffic ticket surcharge known as a “public safety fee.” This in a county in which red-light tickets currently carry a cost of $95 and most other tickets, from parking violations to illegal turns, cost between $110 and $225 – without the fee. In a moment of legislative responsibility, Republican county legislators rejected the proposed $105 ticket surcharge. Unfortunately, it was just a moment and the Republican legislators went ahead and approved the budget anyway. The Republican legislators said they would get to the part of having revenues equal expenses at a later date. Unimpressed, the chairman of Nassau’s control board directed Mangano to produce three separate contingency plans by Nov. 16 to reduce next year’s op-
erating expenditures by as much as $100 million. At least part of the county’s problem in getting revenue to equal expenses may lie the tax breaks given to businesses by not one, not two, but three industrial development agencies — the Hempstead Town Industrial Agency, the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency and the City of Glen Cove Industrial Development Agency. The industrial development agencies are intended to spur economic development by granting exemptions to businesses on property taxes as well as mortgage recording taxes and, in some cases, exemptions from state and local sales taxes. In return, the businesses agree to payment-in-lieu-of-taxes agreements, or PILOTs, to offset some of the money saved. The tax breaks, it is said, permit projects that create jobs and spur developments to move forward that would otherwise be too costly for businesses to otherwise undertake. In many instances, this may be true. But when some businesses are given tax breaks everyone else — residents and businesses — must make up the difference. Or else you get an unbalanced budget. In the case of the tax breaks given to the Green Acre Mall’s owner, California-based Macerich, the millions in tax breaks given by the Hempstead IDA in 2014 on the company’s $79 million renovation project resulted in tax increases ranging from 4.6 percent to 12.2 percent for residents of Valley Stream, according to Nassau County Comptrol-

ler George Maragos. Ken Volk, senior vice president at Macerich, issued a statement saying that the company’s investment “stabilized” the mall and preserved “nearly 3,000 jobs,” according to a story in Newsday. Volk, according to Newsday, went on to say that the project creates “670 new union construction jobs, increases the sales tax revenue, and has already made a number of critical safety and infrastructure improvements and brought new stores and more visitors than ever before.” Left unsaid were the number local retail stores — many of whose owners live in Nassau County — were or will be hurt and even forced to close because of their subsidized competitors. Officials routinely call the small mom-and-pop stores the backbone of the community. But the tax breaks usually go to the
big guys. Adding insult to injury, these small businesses are often the ones who as both residents and business owners make up for the revenue lost by the tax breaks. Also left unsaid is why, if the upgrade was so important to the mall why the owners invest their own money in the improvements. Or sell the property to someone who would. Under public pressure, the Hempstead IDA last week commissioned a cost-benefit analysis of the mall’s tax breaks. While the Hempstead clearly has this backward, it is actually more than what most IDAs across the state do. And Green Acres is not the only development to receive tax breaks and the Town of Hempstead not the only IDA to issue them. The Nassau County IDA has given tax breaks to a Roslyn car

dealership, luxury apartments in North Hills and a luxury senior facility. In the case of the luxury senior facility, the IDA was poised to grant a second round of tax breaks until Great Neck and Herricks school officials as well as the Village of North Hills and then county Legislator Judi Bosworth intervened, noting that the second round of tax breaks would do nothing for economic growth and cost them muchneeded revenue. The state Legislature, which regulates IDAs, has tightened supervision of local agencies in recent years. That’s not enough. It’s time the Legislature requires a costbenefit analysis on all IDA projects to see if the benefits actually outweigh the costs. Perhaps then, the county might even balance its budget.

PROFESSOR’S PERSPECTIVE
Pyrrhic victory for partisan press?
T
here’s a long held media maxim that a journalist’s most valuable asset is reputation. After this election, many media outlets may have to file for bankruptcy due to their lacking reputations. Americans’ confidence in the media “to report the news fully, accurately and fairly” is at an alltime low. Only 32 percent trust them, a September Gallup poll found. Pollsters blame “lower standards for journalism” in presidential campaign coverage for “corroding Americans’ trust and confidence.” One big reason for the decline is media bias. A majority of likely voters say journalists are biased against Donald Trump, an Oct. 19 Quinnipiac University poll found. While the perception of bias depends upon one’s party, it’s telling that 60 percent of independent voters believe the media is anti-Trump. Journalists deny this, of course. Soon after Gallup’s poll, Washington Post media reporter
Paul Farhi ranted in a column “To: Everyone: … I know a lot of you don’t like [us] … Please stop calling us ‘the media.’ It’s an invention, a tool, an all-purpose smear by people who can’t be bothered to make distinctions.” True, the media aren’t a monolith. Reporting standards differ widely across the media. The digital media revolution over the past 30 years has given rise to cable and online media outlets that carve a niche by catering to partisan audiences. Many are staffed by journalists who are more pundits than reporters. Anyone can start a blog and call himself a journalist these days. But the legacy media have remained the big leagues of journalism because they’ve long held higher standards. Print, radio and TV media have appealed to a general audience by covering news objectively. To achieve this reputation, their reporters adhere to ethical customs, such as sticking to the facts, verifying information and not taking sides — even when
MARK GRABOWSKI Professor’s Perspective covering a hostile subject like Trump. It wasn’t always this way. America’s early press was largely operated by political parties who mixed news and opinions indiscriminately. That changed in the early 20th century, with an outcry against “yellow journalism” and demand for greater truthfulness and accountability. Journalists saw their work as a profession with a responsibility to the public. Media outlets adopted codes
of ethics, which included prohibitions against political campaign contributions. This impartiality transformed journalism into the Fourth Estate: referees of politics’ playing field who didn’t root for Team Blue or Team Red. Many journalists continue to adhere to these standards. But a noticeable number of reporters and outlets have abandoned that practice while covering this election, hurting the entire profession’s reputation. Contrary to Farhi’s claim, there’s more than “anecdotal evidence” of “liberal bias.” A recent Center for Public Integrity study revealed 480 reporters and editors contributed to either presidential campaign, with 90 percent donating to Hillary Clinton. Journalists at The New York Times and other legacy outlets contributed, despite newsroom policies forbidding it. Granted, it’s possible for journalists to cover stories fairly despite having biases. But this election many haven’t even tried to. Consider The Times, whose
Aug. 8 cover story called on reporters who believe Trump is a “dangerous” “demagogue” to “throw out the textbook American journalism has been using for the better part of the past half-century” even though “it may not always seem fair.” Many journalists apparently took that to heart. A recent WikiLeaks release of hacked emails revealed dozens of reporters, including several at The Times and major TV news networks, coordinated with Clinton’s campaign to provide positive coverage. It showed in their stories. For example, a content analysis of last week’s coverage of Clinton’s email scandal found overwhelming evidence that TV journalists spun it in Clinton’s favor. Media Research Center, a right-leaning media watchdog group, found ABC, NBC and CBS negatively reported on the F.B.I. director instead of Clinton “by a ratio of almost 3 to 1.” In a sense, Trump’s right that the election was “rigged.” Continued on Page 17
A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE
The final two of my fabulous 10 list
T
here used to be something called the Harvard Five-Foot Shelf: a bookshelf containing all the classics that Harvard’s 21st president, Charles Eliot, deemed most essential for a well-rounded education. I have the modern equivalent: a shelf that’s 10 DVD’s long. It’s not so much “educational” as it is essential for getting through life. I don’t need any help becoming sad, or outraged by the vicissitudes of life. What I need help with is getting past all that, or at least living with it. That’s where my movie shelf comes in. “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” may appear, on the surface, to have nothing to do with your life today. And yet — who hasn’t been in a situation where, after much tribulation, you have brought back the required “shrubbery” for the fearsome “Knights who say ‘Ni!’,” only to be told you must now bring back a second shrubbery, “for the nice two-level effect”? I think we’ve all had bosses
like that. Or clients! I loved “Grail” from the very first scene (well, after the fake movie at the start) when the horses you hear clip-clopping up a foggy medieval hill turn out to be — coconut-shell halves, such as any sound effects man would be proud to own. It’s a simple gag but they stick with it throughout — even “dismounting” later when something makes the “horses” nervous! I am quite fond of the scene where a village full of filthy peasants want to burn a witch (Connie Booth) whom they’ve found. “How do you know she’s a witch?” asks Sir Bedivere, a knight of the village played by Terry Jones. “She turned me into a newt!” exclaims a villager (John Cleese). Everyone turns to him in amazement. “I got better,” he shrugs. “Burn her anyway!” they all shout. Of course, nothing like that happens any more, in these enlightened times! My favorite scene occurs when King Arthur and his Knights must cross the Bridge of
JUDY EPSTEIN A Look on the Lighter Side Death. To cross safely, they must answer the bridgekeeper’s three questions. But any incorrect answer will plunge them into the Gorge of Eternal Peril. Sir Launcelot crosses safely. Sir Robin, asked the capital of Assyria, replies “I don’t know!” and plunges to his death. Then, “What is your name?” “Sir Galahad.” “What is your quest?” “To seek the Holy Grail.” “What …is your favorite color?”
“Blue!” replies the startled Galahad. “No, yellow —” he corrects himself — or tries to. Too late! He, too, flies off into the abyss. As a youngster who had trouble making decisions about everything, even her own favorite ice cream flavor, this scene came often into my head. I feel like it’s a member of my family — or that I’m a member of theirs. At least so far, I have managed to avoid the abyss. As for the movie “Airplane” — it’s as funny as ever. There isn’t a single scene without at least one gag. Right from the opening credits we know what we’re in for — a romp — when we see an airplane’s tail fin cutting through a cloud-filled sky, to the music from “Jaws.” So many gags, so little space! One of my husband’s favorites is the scene in the airport, where Capt. Oveur takes a call on the white courtesy phone from a man in a white lab coat, standing in front of a wall full of mayonnaise jars. It’s a doctor at the Mayo clinic, of course. But then the
Captain must take a call from a Mr. Hamm, on line 5. “Give me Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo,” he says. I seem to share a “drinking problem” with the hero of the story — namely, that I too, when attempting to drink a liquid from a glass, often miss my mouth, drenching my face or shirt instead. “Just a little drinking problem!” I sheepishly explain to folks, as I towel myself off. I hope they know I’m referring to the movie! Of course there’s the gag this movie may be most famous for: “Surely you can’t be serious!” “I am serious — and don’t call me Shirley.” My children might not understand the “smoking” ticket, or a courtesy phone — but they’ll understand the people sitting on the luggage carousel instead of the bags… or the running gag “I picked the wrong week to quit drinking coffee…smoking cigarettes…sniffing glue.” There is more than enough in this film to reward repeated viewing — which is why it will always have a place on my “Ten Film Shelf.”

Highest taxes, debt in NY: Nassau For over half a century, New York has been ranked at the bottom of the 50 states for economic competitiveness. In 1975, for instance, the Fantus Company survey gave the Empire State “undisputed last place for attractiveness of business climate.” Not much has changed since then. Earlier this year, the American Legislative Exchange Council in “Rich States, Poor States,” a study that analyzed 15 policy variables, New York came in 50th place for economic attractiveness. Reasons for these dismal results included New York’s high cost of labor; high cost of energy; onerous regulations; unfunded state mandates; and huge public debt.
But the top one is taxes. New York has the highest combined state and local taxes in the nation. Ever growing taxes to service ever growing debt and government largesse is at the root of our economic malaise. And a report recently released by the Empire Center for Public Policy, “Benchmarking New York,” reveals that the tax and debt numbers for Nassau and many of its municipalities are the worst in the state. Here are some of the grim findings: Nassau has the highest percapita debt owing $3,045 per resident. North Hempstead is the highest spending and most heavily indebted large town in the state;

ho wants an indoor recreation center? Almost everybody. Who wants it replacing the Kings Point Tennis Center, on Steamboat Road? Not me! I’ve wanted a rec center long before the articulate and cute fifth graders were paraded in front of the parks commissioners, pleading their case for a place to play. But 143 Steamboat Road is the wrong site for it — inadequate for the community’s needs, and unsafe for the community. Steamboat Road is the major East-West thoroughfare at the North end of town, and yet it’s only one lane in each direction. If (meaning when!) people
double park to drop off or pick up their kids, traffic will have to stop, or cross a double yellow line to drive into oncoming traffic. Add the synagogues in the vicinity, with literally hundreds of people walking in the streets Friday Nights and Saturdays, and we have a recipe for disaster! Oh, and there’s a firehouse directly across the street. What did the traffic study say about all this? Right. There hasn’t been one! I don’t mind spending $5 million to $7 million for a rec center. In fact, I’m willing to be taxed a bit more ($1 dollar a week, instead of 72 cents), to build a real rec center from
$1,568 $643
scratch, on land the parks department already owns. The very underused dog run on Colonial Road (more centrally located, to serve the entire community) has a huge parking lot, and the dog run was built over a pool. Let us have yearlong swimming, as well as yearlong skating, and room for more than just two basketball courts. If a traffic study finds this site to be problematic, how about the abandoned pool site at Kings Point Park, Steamboat Road side? Let’s build a safe, accessible, great rec center for everyone!

Contrary to all the happy talk of the political classes, Nassau’s economy will continue to be fragile until genuine tax and spending reforms are implemented by its county and town governments.

Second Ave. subway funding falls short
R
egardless if Phase One of Second Avenue Subway opens by the end of December or some time in early 2017 — it is still a gloss only one quarter full. Consider there is only $1.035 billion in funding contained within the Metropolitan Transportation Authority $27 billion five-year 2015-2019 capital program to support preliminary work for phase two north from 96th Street on to 125th Street. There is still the need of $4.965 billion for funding actual construction of phase two. These dollars will have to come from the next MTA Five Year 2020-2024 capital program. The MTA is counting on the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration New Starts program to provide $500 million or more in additional funding. Add $15 billion more down the road for phases three and four to complete the full length of Second Avenue Subway south to Hanover Square. The MTA hopes using “Fast Track” to allow construction of Second Avenue subway phase two to start in 2019. Don’t count on it. The MTA will enter this project into the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration “New Starts” program.
How many years will it take to complete the NEPA environmental review process? Which neighborhood will want to host any entrance for both a tunnel boring machine and removal of construction debris? Construction of the new Second Avenue Subway 125th Street Station will be underneath both the Metro North Park Avenue Viaduct and New York City Transit Lexington Avenue subway. Will there be any required speed restrictions for MetroNorth Railroad or New York City Transit Lexington Avenue Subway trains during construction? Will there be the need for any service outages? Will any Metro North or NYCT force account support be required during construction? They will want to protect both their operations and physical structures from vibrations and other potential adverse impacts. Will phase two incorporate the stretch of tunnel previously built in the 1970’s between 99th Street and 105th Street? Based upon the master grant agreement between the MTA and U.S. DOT FTA, if these portions of work do not go into transit use, Uncle Sam has the legal right to ask for its money back. NYCT since the 1970s has had to maintain and protect this
unopened tunnel. The federal government has considered this work part of an active ongoing project. If the MTA does not incorporate utilization of this tunnel, Washington may ask for reimbursement. The MTA could owe up to several hundred million based upon current fair market value. The goal would be to obtain a Full Funding Grant Agreement between the U.S. DOT FTA and MTA for fully funding the project. MTA is in competition between its own operating agencies and against other transit agencies around the nation. There are 98 other Senators and 434 Congress members supporting their own New Starts projects. Why would USDOT FTA approve any FFGA without a guarantee from the MTA that matching local share or $4.965 billion balance of funding to complete the project is secure and in place. The only proof is inclusion of this project within the next 2020-2024 Five Year Capital Program approved by both the MTA and Albany Capital Program Review Board. Previous MTA five year capital plans have been approved one or more years late. Based on past history, the next MTA five year capital plan for 2020 to 2024 may not be approved until
2021. The MTA would not risk advertising multi billion construction project bids without secure funding being in place. Any procurement process from advertising to bid award could easily take six months to a year. Just issuing contract addendum in response to potential contract bidders questions to such a complex project requires several months. Actual contracts for full construction could end up being awarded in 2022. If phase one takes 11 years to complete from the original 2007 contract award to 2017, phase two might not be completed until 2030 or later. There are conflicting growing competing priorities and limited available funding. Consider what the 2020-2024 MTA five year capital program has to deal with besides finding $4.965 billion for Second Avenue Subway phase two. The original proposed 2010 - 2014 MTA $29 billion five year capital plan was cut to $24.2 billion before being approved. The original proposed 2015 - 2019 MTA $32 billion five year capital plan in Sept. 2014 was rejected by the New York State MTA capital program review board. In October 2015, a revised $27 billion 2015 - 2019 MTA five-year capital plan was ap-
proved by the MTA Board, New York State MTA capital program review board. A majority of the $8 billion in deferred capital improvements cut from these two plans still need funding. Don’t forget the billions needed for routine state of good repair projects and programs for each operating agency. Regardless of the funding source, Second Avenue subway phase two will end up competing against many worthy projects in the next MTA five year 20202024 capital plan. Going back decades, the city, state and MTA have consistently kicked the can down the road every five years. As a result, coming to a consensus on what to fund in the next five year capital program plan will become even more difficult. Second Avenue Subway phase two will be the largest single project proposed for funding in the next five year capital plan. It could potentially consume almost 20 percent of the total program!

wish to thank the community and all those who voted in my election as trustee of the Great Neck Library. With everyone’s support and guidance, I hope to make the best decisions for our community — thank you, thank you. I want to learn as much as I can from my fellow trustees during the transition while listening to the community’s concerns. Using the Main Library as
the benchmark, I believe we can eventually streamline and update the station, Lakeville and Parkville branches. We need to save the core collection and increase our digital selections. Thanks again for your support,. Douglas Hwee New Hyde Park
Continued from Page 15 Not by voter fraud, but by some journalists nixing neutrality and serving as Clinton’s propaganda machine. Which isn’t to say Trump deserved to win. There are many reasons why the Republican real estate mogul — who has filed for multiple bankruptcies, proposed controversial policies and spoken countless vulgarities — might’ve lost.

But the ultimate loser might be the media. Experts say recent setbacks suggest the press is already paying a steep price for its declining reputation. The Times announced this week quarterly profits dropped by 96 percent. Two weeks earlier, the Raleigh News & Observer lost a libel case and must fork over $6 million.
Columbia Journalism Review said it’s “evidence that the growing unpopularity of media may translate into less-sympathetic jury pools.” In their quest to beat Trump, the media has become just like him: unprofessional, bankrupt and despised.

Katz right for pollution control district
M
y friend and colleague Patty Katz is running for Great Neck Water Pollution Control District Commissioner. If ever there was a job and a candidate so perfectly matched, I have not heard of her. Patty is a lifelong Great Neck resident and through word and deed has shown a selfless and fired up commitment to her community. She was a member of the Town of North Hempstead Environment Legacy Fund for Land Preservation and the towns Ecological Commission. She was Outreach Coordinator for Guilt-Free Green, an educational program helmed by state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel.
She raised money for a mission to Africa that brought potable water to villages in Kenya and she was the worthy recipient of the May W. Newburger Women’s Roll of Honor. But my connection to Patty is personal; we met around the time we joined Reach Out America, a local 12-year-old grassroots progressive organization that is dedicated to meaningful, doable, measurable change through the actions of five committees. My issue is the first amendment and so I joined the Separation of Church and State Committee, which I ultimately helmed. Patty too has her passion, which is the environment. She created the ROA Green Committee and chaired it for over nine years.
We at ROA are dedicated to working for a Better America however some of our committees garner more success than others; our agenda issues have enjoyed some progress but mostly our goals are works in progress. But Patty’s committee, due in very large part to her energy, enthusiasm and dedication, has actually been part of some groundbreaking change. In conjunction with other groups she helped anti-fracking legislation to be enacted, agitated successfully to promote wind farms, and testified and protested to stop the proposal to develop the Port Ambrose LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) facility off the shore of Long Beach. Now Patty heads Reach Out America with me.
I am president and she is vice president and working closely with her I have not only come to see for myself how ethical and hardworking she is, I have also learned what a generous colleague and friend she can be. She is a self-starting organizer and tireless once she begins a project which she then always sees to conclusion. Her contribution as vice president has, despite the very short time she has held office, reaped measurable progress. That cannot help but be true when she becomes commissioner. Please vote for my friend Patty Katz at the Great Neck House on Arrandale Avenue or Great Neck Social Center on Grace Ave. on Dec. 13. Rita Hall President, Reach Out America

ALAN WEINSCHEL, Temple Sinai member will discuss the Normandy Kaddish Project and his book, Jewish Heroes of Normandy
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17 at 7:30 PM In 2013 while touring and photographing Normandy beaches and the American Cemetery at Omaha Beach, Alan and his wife Barbara were overwhelmed by the vast array of 9,000 graves. They noticed that many of the graves marked by Stars of David had no stones or coins on them, signifying that there had been no recent visitors. After his return, Alan began a nationwide effort to have Jewish congregations in the U.S. say Kaddish for these men each year on the Shabbat that falls closest to June 6th. This has become an annual practice at many congregations, including Reform, Conservative and Orthodox synagogues. Alan’s book Jewish Heroes of Normandy provides photographs and information about each man and he will discuss the project and provide interesting stories about the lives that were lost.

Suozzi beats Martins in race to replace Israel in January. Martins was picked as the GOP nominee in March, while Suozzi spent another three months fighting off four other Democrats to win his party’s primary in June. Martins later became embroiled over the summer in a protracted but ultimately successful legal fight to avoid a GOP primary against Philip Pidot, an upstart conservative challenger. Suozzi pledged to fight powerful interests to make big changes in Washington, just as he did in Nassau and Glen Cove. His message seized on the pent-up frustration with the political establishment that has defined this election cycle, a theme that dovetailed with Trump’s campaign. Martins touted his work across the aisle in Albany to pass key legislation as proof he could do the same in Congress. Using a landmark gun control law and last year’s paid family leave plan as examples, Martins sought to convince voters he could broker compromises and move issues forward. Martins and Suozzi differed on a few major issues such as immigration and health care reform. But when the race between two political moderates got heated, it was not over policy but rather their political pasts. Martins’ campaign and the National Republican Congressional Committee attacked Suozzi hard for the
large tax hikes he imposed as county executive and for pay raises he took in that office and as mayor of Glen Cove. Suozzi defended his administration, touting the 13 bond upgrades that resulted from his tax hikes, and his efforts to trim the county workforce and renegotiate labor contracts. Martins also raised taxes and took raises, he noted. Suozzi criticized Martins’ tepid support for Trump as “phoney-baloney political talk,” while Martins charged Suozzi would not be independent enough with Democrat Hillary Clinton in the White House. While Democrats picked up a few U.S. Senate seats, Trump’s upset victory helped the GOP keep its power in Congress. That will make it difficult for Suozzi and other House Democrats to advance their agendas. But it does not detract from Suozzi’s goal of creating change by working with lawmakers from both parties, he said. “I’ll play the cards I’ve been dealt, and I don’t think it’s about Democrat and Republican,” Suozzi said. “I think that’s what’s hurting the country, is that people have been too partisan for too long.”

tinue the bipartisan work she started in her first term that resulted in two bills she sponsored becoming law. She said she wanted to focus more intently on immigration reform and rebuilding infrastructure. “I told you that my priority was to get things done, to get real results — not to get myself reelected,” Rice told supporters Tuesday night at the Garden City Hotel. “And that’s exactly what I’ve tried to do every single day since I was sworn into office.” Gurfein launched a 3rd Congressional District campaign — his first run for public office — in September 2015, but chose to run in southwest Nassau County’s 4th District after Martins won the GOP nomination on the North Shore. Touting his military and business records, Gurfein argued he had the experience and knowledge necessary to support national security and economic growth, which he said ought to be the federal government’s main priorities. Gurfein did not comment on the results Tuesday night, but he thanked supporters in a video posted to Facebook Wednesday morning. “I’m honored to have been a part of this democratic process and our incredible country,” he said, later adding, “We may have lost this battle, but we have not lost this war.” Gurfein and Rice differed widely on nearly every major political issue, from immigration and foreign policy to tax reform and gun control. Gurfein charged Rice’s foreign policy stances endangered national security, while Rice called Gurfein a “demagogue” who relied too heavily on the military. Rice got endorsements from labor unions and local Republican officials, while Gurfein got support from law enforcement unions and officials such as U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford).

Stephen Romano contributed reporting.
Continued from Page 1 About half the voters in two Siena polls said they did not know Martins or had no opinion of him, despite his six years representing most of the district’s Nassau County portion in the state Senate. Martins said he would continue to stress tax cuts, environmental issues and job creation while he spends time in the private sector to determine his next career move. “While the outcome was not what we hoped and the race is over, it does not mean we will stop fighting for the ideals on which we ran,” Martins said in a statement early Wednesday morning. About 59 percent of the district’s active registered voters cast votes in the district stretching from northeast Queens to northwest Suffolk County. Suozzi carried the Nassau County portion, about 53 percent of the district, by about 4 percentage points while Martins won the Suffolk section by about 3 points. But Suozzi won the smaller Queens portion by more than 12,000 votes after campaigning heavily there. “[I] made a point of playing to my strengths and trying to build up a margin where I was strong,” Suozzi said. Martins and Suozzi emerged from a crowded pack of candidates who eyed Israel’s seat after he announced his retirement

Phillips, D’Urso take open seats in state races Continued from Page 1 who listens to our communities and who will stand up for Long Island.” “I am so very grateful and humbled by their support, and ready to get to work to create the bright future that every Long Islander deserves,” said Phillips, who is Flower Hill’s village mayor. She was seeking her first term in the state Legislature. Phillips received more than a dozen law enforcement endorsements, as well as endorsements from public government and school employee unions. The loss is Haber’s second in the 7th Senate district after Martins defeated him to win re-election in 2014. He said he was “terribly disappointed” about the result of his race, but offered his support for Phillips. “I worked my tail off and I wanted to serve the community,” Haber said. “I wish Elaine Phillips well and if I can help to make her community a better place, I’m here.” He said that the one thing he had “peace” about was his efforts during the campaign. “I didn’t take a day off for months,” Haber said. “I did as much as you can physically can do. I left it all out there.” “My life will skip a couple beats,” he added. “But I’ll find my groove again.” Throughout his campaign, Haber had received notable endorsements from top Democratic officials including Gov. Andrew Cuomo, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli and state Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul. Haber serves on the Roslyn school board and previously on the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, which oversees Nassau County spending.

Democrat Adam Haber of East Hills lost his 7th Senate District race against Republican Elaine Phillips, the mayor of the Village of Flower Hill. Sachs and J.P. Morgan, had said a Haber victory would tilt the state Senate to a party dominated by New York City. The state Legislature, she said, needed a balance between Republicans and Democrats. But Haber argued that the Senate GOP has failed and a Democratic majority would benefit the state. The GOP has retained control of the Senate, in part, as a result of this race. Both candidates had attacked each other’s record, with Phillips arguing that the Roslyn school district has had the highest tax rate of any school district since her opponent joined the board in 2009 and Haber referring to an audit released in December 2012 by DiNapoli’s office, which he said showed “how poorly” the Village of Flower Hill was run. Phillips was not on the board at the time of the audit. The race saw a bit of controversy last month after Haber slammed a social media advertisement depicting him as a character from “Fiddler on the Roof” as anti-Semitic. The Phillips campaign said they had nothing to do with the advertise-
ment. Both candidates agreed that Long Island schools needed to receive more state aid and both said they would fight for better ethics in the state Legislature. D’Urso defeats Varvaro In another tight race to replace outgoing state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel in the 16th Assembly district, Democrat Anthony D’Urso defeated Republican Matt Varvaro by 1,412 votes of the 52,254 cast. D’Urso, a former North Hempstead Town Councilman, received 26,825 total votes to Varvaro’s 25,413 for a 51 percent to 49 percent victory. D’Urso said he was happy to achieve his goal of reaching the state Assembly. “I will commit to working very hard for the people of this district,” he said. “I commit to trying to do all the right things to elevate families that are struggling.” He said Schimel, and her predecessor, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, had big shoes to fill, but he wanted to carry on their “tradition of progressiveness.”
“I will also not just follow their trail, but blaze a trail of my own,” D’Urso said. “I always say, I cannot guarantee results, but I will sure as hell try.” Throughout the campaign, he had touted his records of accomplishments, having served as North Hempstead Town councilman from 1992 through 2005 and working for the New York City Department of Housing since 1971 and eventually rising to serve as the assistant commissioner of the Division of Architecture/ Engineering and Construction. D’Urso’s campaign was focused on fighting ethics in Albany, including eliminating outside income for state legislators and ending the LLC loophole, and tackling high school property taxes. Although it was his first run for office, Varvaro has served as a researcher on Joe Lhota’s campaign for New York City mayor in 2013, as a legislative aide to North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio in 2014 and as a research director for former New York City Gov. George Pataki’s campaign for president last year. Continued on Page 24

Dems mourn, GOP celebrates Trump BY N O A H M A N S K A R , JOE NIKIC AND STEPHEN ROMANO Democrats were getting increasingly anxious on the North Shore Tuesday night as Republican Donald Trump won more and more states in the presidential race. Watching CNN analyze vote counts in Pennsylvania around 9:20 p.m., hours before the crucial swing state was called for Trump, wasn’t helping Shanon Lacorte, whose eyes were trained on a TV at Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice’s election night party in Garden City. “It’s like a basketball game,” said Lacorte, a Woodmere native. “I’d rather see the last two minutes, but I have to watch the whole thing.” A handful of Democrats also huddled around TVs at Democrat Tom Suozzi’s party in Jericho as Trump’s numbers climbed, while others talked over drinks, avoiding the elephant in the room. Suozzi’s supporters were excited to see him leading in the 3rd Congressional District race against Republican Jack Martins. But seeing Hillary Clinton, their party’s standard-bearer, trail in the presidential race worried them. “I’m going to have a heart attack,” said Rokeya Akhter of Greenvale, the Long Island political director for the Indian-Amer-

Joseph Mondello speaks in Westbury. ican Voters Association. The prospect of a Trump presidency made Akhter, a Muslim, feel more motivated than afraid, she said. She and others at Suozzi’s party said they remained optimistic Clinton would pull out a victory, especially with returns from big states on the West Coast yet to come. But those states came and went, and Trump inched closer to clinching the presidency, putting local Democrats into a state of shock and disbelief.
“I can’t believe this is happening,” one woman shouted at the Nassau County Democratic Committee’s election night celebration at Westbury Manor as Trump began taking a commanding lead. The night started as one of both celebration and anxiety. A crowd of about 35 local Democrats surrounded the screen projecting CNN as it updated with results throughout the night, while others socialized throughout the venue. Each time Clinton won a state, the room would erupt in applause and cheering. But as results continued to come through the screen, and Trump began taking the lead, the high spirits in the room began crashing down. The presidential election largely overshadowed the local state races, but attention shifted to them as Clinton began falling. Pockets of supporters surrounded Democratic victors, such as Anthony D’Urso, Todd Kaminsky, Charles Lavine and Arnold Drucker, as Nassau Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs announced their wins. The remainder of the room, however, began emptying out. Nassau County Republicans, meanwhile, were celebrating Trump’s victories at Mirelle’s Restaurant in Westbury.
“It’s just damn good to be a Republican,” Nassau County Republican Chairman Joseph Mondello exclaimed after taking the stage. As the vote tallies trickled in, a burst of excitement erupted from the center of the restaurant, activists celebrating as the Fox News headline read “Trump wins Florida.” “I just can’t believe this,” said Kyle Ludewig, a 21-year-old Republican from Levittown. “I just really can’t believe this. I think all Republicans are just really happy and excited and it’s going to be a fun night.” “This being my the first election I voted in, I’m just happy that Donald Trump was a candidate I could really relate to,” Ludewig said. “It all started out this night with getting Trump elected, but the local elections were important, too, so I did research to see who I agreed with and am happy with my candidates. Mondello continued updating the crowd on local congressional and state Senate races, while a giant board was updated with results for all the races. As Trump edged closer toward the presidency and secured more states, a group of Republican supporters cheered with excitement, jumping up and down and embracing one another. “He’s going to be the president,” one supporter yelled. “The polls were dead wrong.”
Incumbents keep seats in statewide races Continued from Page 23 His campaign has also focused on stopping corruption, including setting an eightyear term limit for legislators, eliminating the LLC loophole and reforming the state’s “weak” ethics boards. Varvaro had said he wanted to reform the state’s education standards to include more technology use in the classroom and reform the state’s tax code by lowering tax rates and eliminating certain tax breaks. He had attacked his opponent’s knowledge of the issues impacting the 16th Assembly District, specifically heroin addiction on Long Island. But D’Urso has said that heroin and opiate addiction has been a problem on Long Island and that more resources should be used for addiction treatment and for law enforcement to catch drug suppliers. Lavine defeats Vitale The six-term Democratic incumbent, Lavine, soundly defeated Vitale in an election to represent the 13th Assembly District. “It’s very gratifying to know that I have the support of the people of the 13th Assembly District,” Lavine said. “I thank them from the bottom of my heart for their support.”
Lavine received 31,339 votes, which amounted to 56 percent of the electorate; while Vitale garnered 18,425 votes, which comprised 33 percent. The green party candidate, Jeffrey Peress, won 609 votes for a 1 percent share of the ballots cast. “This was a tough race,” Vitale said. “I learned what it takes to run a campaign and I’m very happy about that.” Lavine and Vitale differed significantly on issues ranging from corruption to abortion to the presidential candidacy of Donald Trump. The district covers Roslyn, Glen Cove, Jericho and Plainview as well as parts of Manhasset, Westbury, East Hills and Bayville. Lavine serves in Albany as chair of the Assembly Committee on Ethics and Guidance and co-chair of the New York State Legislative Ethics Commission. Before his time in office, he worked as an attorney for the Legal Aid Society and then as a criminal defense attorney in private practice. Vitale, a grant writer for the Town of Oyster Bay, had never run for public office before this race. He expressed an interest in giving it another shot. Lavine reaffirmed his gratitude for the voters in district, with whom he said he has become familiar. “This has been 12 years in office,” he
said. “I have gotten to know a lot of them and they’ve gotten to know me.” Ra defeats Port Ra received 28,507 votes to Port’s 18,976, good for a 55 percent to 34 percent victory, in winning re-election in the 19th Assembly District beating Port. A resident of Franklin Square, Ra has held a seat in the Assembly since 2010 and is the ranking minority member of the Education Committee. “I’m very grateful that I got re-elected by the great people of the 19th Assembly District,” Ra said. “I’m ready to continue serving them.” The 19th Assembly District covers parts of the Town of Hempstead, the Town of North Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay. With recent corruption issues in the Assembly, Ra pledged to fight for an ethics reform, implementing term limits and an internal evaluation of the Legislature that ultimately leads to the stripping of leaders’ absolute power. “Even though this is a victory, we still have a lot today,” Ra said. “Republicans have put forth a lot of plans, but there is a long way to go and we’re going to get started on fixing thing, starting with an ethics reform and finding a better way to
evaluate teachers.” Port, a divorce lawyer from West Hempstead, has opposed Ra in the last three elections. During the campaign, Port repeatedly criticized Ra, saying his career was built on patronage and nepotism, referring to Ra’s first job working under his father as the Hempstead town attorney. Ra responded by touting his work ethic and noting his re-election in a tough district. Ra said because of the presidential election, people wanted to talk to him about the election on a national stage, but he made it a point to talk to his constituents about local issues. To combat corruption, Port said Assembly members should be limited to four or five terms, and the election cycle should be changed from every two years to four years to eliminate corruption created by the allocation of money in short terms. Both Ra and Port opposed the Long Island Rail Road’s third track expansion, citing the lack of information as their main concern. However, Port said he believes the idea is good in theory, but the environmental impact aspect needs to be researched more.

BY M A X Z A H N Construction on the second and ďŹ nal phase of the Ritz Carlton Residences will begin in two weeks, said Frank Haftel, the vice president for development and asset management at RXR Realty, which has overseen the work. “We’re ready to begin placing the foundations,â€? Haftel said. “We’re very excited.â€? The second phase of construction will span two years, adding two ďŹ ve-story buildings and 120 units to the luxury condominium complex on the Long Island Expressway’s South Service Road. The complex currently consists of 124 condominiums in two residential buildings as well as a clubhouse that features a swimming pool, exercise room, and movie theater, among other amenities. Over 90 percent of the completed condominiums have been sold, though only approximately half of those purchasers have moved into their homes, Haftel said. RXR will begin putting the phase two condominiums on the market as soon as construction begins. They range from two bedroom, two and a half bathroom apartments for $1,350,000 to 3 bedroom, 3 and a half bathroom apartments for $4,900,000.

PHOTOS COURTESY OF BOB GOOT AND LYNNE GAMBONE
Bob Goot (left) and Lynne Gambone say their dance partnership has been a natural fit.
Salsa dancer enlivens herself and audience Lynne Gambone makes seniors feel young again B Y N O A H M A N S K A R Senior Community Service Cen- to be able to step back and apOne night about eight years ago, Lynne Gambone stumbled into a nightclub and left with a lifelong passion, she said. People in the club were dancing the salsa, and Gambone, a Herricks school district parent and PTA member, said she became “utterly mesmerized,’’ adding, “I stared at people’s feet for three hours.” Since then, dance has led Gambone to feel a kind of joy that nothing else gives her, pushing her to first perform a set of ballroom dances for the Herricks Senior Community Service Center five years ago. She has returned every year since, finding the performances give the senior citizens in the program a similar sense of joy and nostalgia, she said. “You can see the wonder,” said Gambone, an Albertson resident. “You can see the smiles on their faces, but you can see the wonder in their hearts, and they share that when we’re done dancing by coming up and chatting with us.” Gambone will return to the
ter for her annual show on Dec. 6, performing there for the first time with her new dance partner, Bob Goot of Centereach. Their partnership has amplified their passions for dance and helped them further improve their skills, they said. “We both have very similar goals,” Gambone said. “We both are driven to dance as much as we can. We both are passionate about the dancing and having our audiences see that.” While Gambone recently got into dance, Goot jumped back into it six years ago after about a 20-year hiatus, he said. He danced competitively in his 20s and once appeared on the TV show “Star Search,” he said. They met each other through a Long Island dance teacher they both know, and since then it’s been a natural fit, they said. They’ll also be performing in the Catskills next week during Stardust Ballroom Dance Weekend at Honor’s Haven Resort & Spa. “You have to have that utter joy that Lynne talks about and that passion, but you also have
preciate what the other people bring to the table,” Goot said. “... In our case, it doesn’t really seem to be an effort.” Gambone’s performances are one of several arts and culture programs the Herricks Senior Community Service Center, based at the Herricks Community Center, offers for seniors from across Nassau County, said Carol McBride, the center’s director. The center also serves lunch and sponsors games and other activities every Monday, Tuesday and Friday. This year, Gambone and Goot will show off eight to 10 dances in their repertoire, including the salsa, cha cha, rhumba, waltz, fox trot, American tango, hustle, West Coast swing and East Coast swing, Gambone said. The 50 to 90 seniors who attend the shows are always glad to see there’s an appreciation for the ballroom dances they danced when they were younger, Gambone said. “I think it opens their world, just because of transportation ismaybe, or gives them an oppor- sues,” McBride said. Gambone and Goot’s free tunity to see things that may not be so easily accessible to them performance will start at 12:30
p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 6, at the Herricks Community Center, located at 999 Herricks Road in New Hyde Park.

Koppelman plays host to the stars in Roslyn Harbor
BY M A X Z A H N
B
arbara Streisand, Willie Nelson, Martha Stewart and the Beastie Boys may not share much in common. But they’ve all visited the home of Roslyn Harbor music producer Charles Koppelman, who was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame last Thursday. “Kanye West was in Roslyn playing music for my kids and me,” he said. A businessman and artist who has worn many hats, from making music with Diana Ross to briefly replacing Steve Madden as head of his shoe company, Koppelman said he “felt great” about the Hall of Fame induction. “Long Island has been good to me and my family,” he added. Koppelman was born in Brooklyn but moved to Long
Island when he was one year old. His music career began in 1960 when his band the Ivy Three put out a top-10 hit called “Yogi.” What cemented Koppelman’s place in the industry, however, was his knack for recognizing and producing hit songs. “I realized I had this uncanny ability to understand what a song would be and what a hit record would be,” he said. Koppelman’s daughter, Jennifer Hutt, described his knack as “a great ear for talent, for music and for a hook.” In 1975, he partnered with real estate developer Sam LeFrak and attorney Martin Bandier to form The Entertainment Company, which “independently administered and promoted song catalogs and signed artists directly to their company,” according to the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Soon after, in 1977, he moved to Roslyn Harbor, where he has lived ever since. Hutt said she remembered when, in the 1970s and ’80s, neighbors thought Barbara Streisand lived at her family’s home because Streisand spent so much time there. “They worked so closely that it was all in our house,” Hutt said. “The way somebody has a family business my dad’s business was intertwined with all of us.” The Entertainment Company became SBK Entertainment World Inc. in 1986, soon after which it bought the 250,000 titles owned by CBS Songs
for $125 million. “It was the highest price ever paid for a music publishing catalog,” the Hall of Fame said. The list of performers Koppelman worked with is a who’s who of music that includes names as disparate as Dolly Parton, Vanilla Ice and Lionel Ritchie. While studying abroad in Paris in 1990, Hutt received a recording of Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” from her father. “He said this is going to be a monster hit,” she recalled. In 1997, Koppelman planned to retire from the music industry, Newsday reported. Soon after he temporarily replaced both Martha Stewart and Steve Madden as the head of their respective companies while they served prison terms. “I brought Martha Stewart to Peter Luger,” he said of dining with the celebrity at the steak house in Great Neck. Koppelman couldn’t resist returning to the music industry, which he did in 1997 with the founding of C.A.K. Entertainment, where he is the chief executive officer and chairman. Its clients have included Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez and Nikki Minaj. Hutt attended law school and practiced as an attorney, but has joined the entertainment industry as a radio host on Sirius XM. What appealed to her about the type of work she saw from her father growing up? “When fiercely talented individuals have work ethic really cool things can happen,” she said

German dishes for October and beyond Every year Germans celebrate their food, culture and beer from the middle of September to the beginning of October. Why be limited to three weeks of the year to celebrate and eat delicious German food? German sausages are known for their full flavor and ease of preparation as most are sold precooked in the supermarket. Start off your celebration of Germany with pretzels and hearty German mustards, available in the International section of most supermarkets or at German delicatessen’s. Prepare the Bratwursts and the sides, ahead of time if you wish, and finish off your meal with a delectable strudel, available at most bakeries and you have a German feast.

Ballet troupe to present Nutcracker L.I. Fadeyev Ballet is presenting “Nutcracker Long Island” at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater at the Landmark on Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 10 at 2 p.m. This production is choreographed by Yaroslav Fadeyev, artistic director, which will feature music by Tchaikovsky and the original story by E.T.A Hoffmann, according to a press release from the
Fadeyev Ballet. This performance is a student production and has been created and priced for family audiences. In 1987, Yaroslav “Slava” Fadeyev was selected as one of seven students from the Soviet Union to participate in the Peace Child Exchange Program in the United States and the Soviet Union.
This experience gave Fadeyev his first inspiration for dance. Born in to a ballet family, his mother was a master teacher at St. Petersburg University of the Humanities and Social Sciences, principal dancer at Mikhailovsky Theater, and an honored artist of the Russian Federation. Trained at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg Russia, Yaroslav began a career that has culminated as a teacher, coach, director and expert on the Vaganova Method of Clas-
Temple to host doctor at end-of-life talk Temple Judea will host a physician from Northwell Health on Friday evening, Nov. 18 at our 8 p.m. Shabbat service. Dr. Steven Walerstein, the associate chief medical officer of Northwell Health and a representative of the CHAT Project will present a program regarding advance care planning and end-of-life decision-making. These are issues people need to address with their loved ones but often avoid because of their anxiety. The CHAT (Conversations: Health and Treatments) Project of Northwell Health and the Maurice A. Deane School of Law of Hofstra University has been designed to help family members communicate better with each other and their clinicians about these sensitive matters so they may have greater peace of mind at difficult times.
The Conversation Sabbath campaign associated with this project recognizes how receiving this message with the support of clergy helps congregants break the ice to start these conversations. Rabbi Todd Chizner will first discuss the Jewish perspective regarding advanced care planning, and will be followed by Dr. Walerstein, who will discuss the issue from professional and personal vantage points before addressing your questions. The community is invited to join us for what is sure to be an informative and thought-provoking evening This event is open to anyone affiliated with Temple Judea and to the community. Temple Judea of Manhasset is located at 333 Searingtown Road in Manhasset. For more information call (516) 6218049 or email maxexec@temple-judea.com

Leisure Club welcomes autumn
BY D O R O T H Y D A LY Autumn, a blest season, is colored in burgundy and gold landscapes, cobalt skies and hot pink sunsets — all inviting the seniors of the Herricks Leisure Club to embrace the ambiance of the new season. And the return to club meetings after the summer respite offers additional incentives to take on new activities. At our first get-together on Sept. 8, members were warmly welcomed back by the club’s board. Helene Picchiello paid a tribute Frances Kivatisky, the club’s recently deceased director, by adorning the dais with an array of nostalgic photos of Kivatisky through her past 18 years as club coordinator.
Treasurer James Kovalsky submitted a comprehensive financial statement and Legislative Chairlady Tess Fiorentino reported on her recent accident and hospitalization. A trip to Yonkers Casino took place on Sept. 14 under the auspices of Rita Ruffino. The meeting the next day afforded a busy schedule. Corresponding Secretary Terry Lanese noted some serious illnesses, flu shots were distributed by a RiteAid representative and club President Cristello conducted a celebration of 11 birthdays. The Sept. 22 meeting featured a presentation by guest speaker Marilyn Kaufman called “Growing Up With Radio,” a look back on radio personalities and shows.
Hilda Escobar, the new club director and a retired nurse, informs members about health-related matters. At this meeting she shared advice on shingles. On Sept. 29, Membership Chairlady Jeanette Kovalsky offered data on “suicide hotlines” and Jewish club members were wished a happy Rosh Hashanah. October arrived with an informative program on Oct. 6. Vice President Mary Carotenuto filled in for Cristello, who is recuperating in Winthrop-University Hospital. She introduced Herricks school district Superintendent Fino Celano, Assistant Superintendent for Business Lisa Rutkoske, Facilities Director Jim Brown and school board Trustee Jim Gounaris, who told the club about the bond issue which is needed to address necessary
building repairs. An excursion to the Empire Casino came on Oct. 12. The next day, Fiorentino invited members to Pasta Night at the VFW to meet the local candidates for office. Jeanette Kovalsky also introduced two new members. Cristello announced a celebration of nine birthdays and the anniversaries of three couples married 46, 59 and 62 years. On Oct. 20, members gathered at the Pompei Restaurant to celebrate the club’s 41st anniversary with an avalanche of savory cuisine and dancing to the music of John Walters. Five significant birthdays were honored, including the 95th birthday of Jim Villani, and the 96th of Tony Catalano.

Cancer victim honored Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth attended the Bevin Kalathil Varughese Memorial Foundation softball game on Saturday, Oct. 15 at Eisenhower Park. The foundation is in honor of Bevin Varughese, who died after
a battle with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2008 at the age of 28 due to an infection while being treated for Leukemia, according to a press release from the Town of North Hempstead. It was created to continue Bevin’s mission to fight against leukemia
and raise awareness. Bosworth presented a proclamation to Kalathil Varughese, Bevin’s father, in recognition of the foundation’s hard work to raise awareness and raise funds for Leukemia.
The 4th Annual Multifaith Thanksgiving Celebration will be held on Sunday, Nov. 20 at 11 a.m. at the Brookville Multifaith Campus at 2 Brookville Road in Glen Head. What began solely as a protestant Dutch church 284 years ago is now where the Brookville Church, The Interfaith Community of Long Island, The Muslim Reform Movement Organization, and The New Synagogue of Long Island call the same location home, according to a press release from the Brookville Church/Multifaith Campus. “I have spoken of the need for peace and reconciliation between religions for years, but this is the first time I am actually involved in a place that is putting it into practice,” Reverend Vicky Eastland, pastor at Brookville Church said. “We believe that celebrating our diversity while respecting and honoring our differences are not mutually exclusive.”
A free international food reception will follow the service. Donations will be accepted of $20 to purchase Thanksgiving turkeys for the Glen Cove Economic Opportunity Council for underserved families. For more information call (516) 626-0414 or visit brookvillechurch.org

Northwell partners on opiod podcast The Northwell Health Foundation and the GroundTruth Project recently announced the establishment of a new health reporting fellowship that will produce a podcast series exploring opiod prescriptions and addiction, the link to heroin and other illegal drugs, and potential solutions. GroundTruth supports a new generation of journalists to tell the most important stories of their generation, according to a press release from Northwell Health. To carry out this reporting fellowship, GroundTruth is partnering with the Northwell Health Foundation to support research and training for a new generation of health care leaders, offering reporting fellowships to graduates of the City University of New
York Graduate School of Journalism. Over the next month, GroundTruth will be accepting applications for the fellowship. By early January, it will assemble a team of reporters and editors to produce a five-episode series of podcasts that will rely on narrative storytelling to address the issues. The reporting will look at a complex set of questions around the issue by focusing on the stories of providers and patients, and steps being taken to correct the gaps in the health delivery system. “Health care, and specifically emergency health care, is under enormous pressure to treat people quickly and effec-
tively,” Terry Lynam, senior vice president at Northwell Health said. “The Hippocratic oath famously says ‘first, do no harm’ — but what if, in some instances, the desire to treat and cure is providing unintentional complications for the patient and society as a whole? How do we address that?” The reporting team will produce a multimedia report to accompany the podcast and will seek out editorial partners to expand the reach of the reporting. The fellowship will include a stipend of $5,000 for each selected reporting fellow. Beginning in January, the fellowship will be structured around a one-week workshop focused on the craft of podcast-
ing and three weeks of reporting in the field in New York. The fellowship will be open to current students and recent graduates of CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, November 22, and winners will be announced in December. Applications should include a resume, five samples of writing, podcasting or other editorial work and a cover letter outlining the applicant’s interest in reporting on health and what approaches they feel are important in examining the Affordable Care Act. Please send applications to: fellowships@thegroundtruthproject.org.

tively,” Terry Lynam, senior vice president at Northwell Health said. “The Hippocratic oath famously says ‘first, do no harm’ — but what if, in some instances, the desire to treat and cure is providing unintentional complications for the patient and society as a whole? How do we address that?” The reporting team will produce a multimedia report to accompany the podcast and will seek out editorial partners to expand the reach of the reporting. The fellowship will include a stipend of $5,000 for each selected reporting fellow. Beginning in January, the fellowship will be structured around a one-week workshop focused on the craft of podcast-
ing and three weeks of reporting in the field in New York. The fellowship will be open to current students and recent graduates of CUNY’s Graduate School of Journalism. The deadline for applications is Tuesday, November 22, and winners will be announced in December. Applications should include a resume, five samples of writing, podcasting or other editorial work and a cover letter outlining the applicant’s interest in reporting on health and what approaches they feel are important in examining the Affordable Care Act. Please send applications to: fellowships@thegroundtruthproject.org.

Liberator to speak at center The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County recently held a program “Rescue Beyond War: Unknown Military Heroes,” featuring Seymour Kaplan, of Brooklyn. He spoke during the program about his experiences as one of the liberators of the Dachau concentration camp, according to a press release from the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County. At 17-years old, Seymour enlisted in the Army and left Brooklyn to fight against Nazi Germany. He became a machine gunner with the 692nd Tank Destroyer Battalion attached to the 42nd Infantry Division. In April 1945, he was one of the first American soldiers to enter Dachau. With his knowledge of Yiddish, Seymour served as a translator between Holocaust survivors and the Army. When he returned home, he established a garment manufacturing company, eventually retired, and then began a second career as a teacher. He is a mental health advocate and has been honored by the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Town backs small biz day The Town of North Hempstead has announced its support for Small Business Saturday on Nov. 26 and are encouraging residents to shift some of their spending this holiday season to support local small businesses. The town has a joint partnership with Women Impacting Public Policy and the Small Business Saturday Coalition, according to a press release from the Town of North Hempstead. In 2015, 551 city, county and town officials joined together to support Small Business Saturday, including the Town of North Hempstead. “Grab a friend and explore your local downtown stores this holiday season. Find something special and make that purchase because shopping at small businesses in your home town represents an investment in your local
community,” Executive Director of the Town’s Business and Development Corporation Kim Kaiman said. Small Business Saturday is an effort to drive consumers to shop at local independently owned businesses on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. This year, North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, the town board and the town’s BTDC are taking the initiative a step further by encouraging residents to consider spending around 10 percent of their holiday shopping at local businesses. “The holiday season is the ideal time to support our local business owners and local economy,” Bosworth said. “Making a small shift in your spending can make a big difference to our businesses.” For more information on Small Business Saturday, visit www.shopsmall.com
Holocaust survivor’s story Town A Holocaust Service will be held at Temple Sinai of Roslyn where Holocaust survivor Hanne Liebmann will share her story on Friday, Nov. 11 at 6:30 p.m. Liebmann will share her experiences at our Kristallnacht Commemoration. Into her 10th decade of life, Liebmann speaks with the conviction, strength and humor of a younger person, according to a press release from Temple Sinai of Roslyn. Liebmann tells her story so that younger generations may experience what she witnessed, firsthand. Raised in Karlesruhe, in southwest Germany, Liebmann was born in 1924. Liebmann and her mother lived with her elderly grandmoth-
Hanne Liebmann er and aunts, as Nazis forced Jews from their homes. In late 1940, she and her female relatives were arrested and placed on a deportation train. Unexpectedly, that transport took them to France, to the Gurs concentration camp, rather than
Poland. Nearly a year later, Liebmann left for Le Chambon, France, through relief efforts of the OSE, a French Jewish social service organization. Her other family members remained imprisoned at Gurs. She was placed in a children’s home, run by the Swiss Red Cross Children’s Aid Association. At times, during the war years, concerned local residents hid her during Nazi raids. During the Friday night Service commemorating Kristallnacht, Hanne will describe two extremes of human behavior during the war — cruelty at the hands of German Nazis, and kindness at the hands of French Huguenots of Le Chambon. All are welcome to attend this free service.
changes vet tax breaks
Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman and the town’s Veterans Advisory Committee have announced to residents a change to the law regarding veterans’ exemptions on 2017-2018 school tax bills. Signed into Chapter 253 of the Laws of 2016, the bill authorizes school districts to grant the Cold War Veterans Property Tax Exemption to homeowners who served in the armed forces during times other than wartime from September 1945 through Dec. 1991. This law is in addition to the
Alternative Veterans’ Property Tax Exemption which was signed into law in 2013. In order for a Cold War Veteran to receive this benefit, each of the local school districts must adopt the legislation by Dec. 31, 2016 for the exemption to be applied to the Oct. 2017 school tax bill. Therefore, Bosworth, Berman and the committee are urging residents to contact their local school district and ask them to opt-in and adopt this property tax exemption before the Dec. 31 deadline. For more information, call 311 or (516) 869-6311 from outside the Town.

OUR TOWN
Store windows on Main Streets If I had to summarize the surprising and unexpected presidential run of Donald Trump I would say never underestimate the power of branding. If you want to learn how to be a successful storekeeper on Long Island you can learn from him. I attended a conference yesterday at Fordham University where professors and psychoanalysts were gathered to discuss the 2016 presidential election. The entire seminar was spent discussing Donald Trump and his personality. No surprise here. The remarks tended to be hostile and attacking. I was the only person in the room who actually knew Donald Trump and came away from the conference with the idea that once again he was underestimated. He much like Tiger Woods in golf is a force of nature. For 20 years every conversation about golf began and ended with Woods. And now for the last 18 months every conversation about politics began and ended with Trump. Trump and politics in general is far removed from the streets of Williston Park, Manhasset, Port Washington or Great Neck but we can all learn a lesson from his method of marketing. 1. Do not be afraid to shine a light on yourself and your store. As an example there is a little shop owned by Debbie
Winter right next to Hildebrandt’s Williston Park that serves the best pastries you will find on Long Island. Alas no one knows about them. They have a little sign in front that says “Irresistibly Good” but their window displays nothing that would remotely reveal how very good their pastry treats are. If Trump owned that store the sign would be bigger than life itself and the pastries in the window would be visible to one and all. Everyone likes to criticize Trump for being a self-promoter but all he is really doing is branding himself. 2. Do not underestimate your value. I get my haircut at a place called Aroma Nails again on Hillside Avenue in Williston Park. The owners are Suhwa Kim and her husband Minho.
DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town Suhwa really knows how to cut hair. But as in most things in life it took me some pain to understand just how good she is. She had a baby recently and was off work for two months. I was forced into getting my hair cut from someone else and sadly for me it didn’t look too good. When you get to my age
This store window of a little coffee shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea is an example of how to decorate a store window. When you walk past the window acts like an irresistible magnet drawing you inside.
you need a really good haircut to look even passable. So each day I looked in the mirror and I fluctuated between wanting to cry or finding out where Suhwa lived and talking her into cutting my hair immediately. Well I gritted my teeth and patiently waited for her to return. Each day I would go into her shop and ask her husband when she was returning. Finally she was there and I sat down and said “welcome home!” As she cut my hair I saw how talented she really was and thought to myself she could charge me four to five times more than her current rate and I wouldn’t bat an eye. She charges me twenty dollars and if she raised her price to one hundred dollars I would still be smiling and saying “thanks.” No one would ever accuse Donald Trump of underestimating his value. And his attitude has made him over a billion dollars and counting. His slogan “Make America Great Again” is a good reflection of how much he values himself and his country. As I strolled down Hillside Avenue on Sunday I stopped to look at the always interesting window display at Peter Andrews. As luck would have it Patricia the owner and window display artist was exercising her magic at the time and I asked her about the local shopkeepers on Hillside and
whether she was for hire to help them out. She told me that she thought Williston Park was going through a renaissance over the last few years and that there is now much more street traffic with new faces thanks to the new restaurants like Taverna 38, Sangria 71, and the Butchers. Now is the time for local shopkeepers to take advantage of this window of opportunity. I think Williston Park is like many of the small towns on Long Island. The store keepers provide great service and great product but not many people know how to market or present themselves to the public. Only a small percentage of the folks walking down Hillside know anything about how good Debbie Winter’s apple turnovers are or just how great a haircutter Suhwa Kim is. We may be a bit weary of this year’s presidential campaign but we can learn something from The Donald. He has unwittingly taught America that if you are smart enough, brave enough and confidence enough to trumpet your wares you just might find yourself achieving more success then you ever dreamed possible. Trump taught America to dream big, value yourself, show the world who you are and to shoot for the stars. That is quite a bit to learn just by watching a new politician in action.
Dems seek bar to unbalanced budget votes Continued from Page 10 “To do it after Election Day so that you don’t jeopardize any of your colleagues in state or federal government, to me, is wrong,” Abrahams said. The Legislature adopted a $2.9 billion 2017 county budget last week that has about $70 million less revenue than expenses. Republicans cut three of the dozens of new and increased fees Mangano proposed, but are looking for alternatives to some others,
including the public safety fee. That controversial measure would add a $105 surcharge to any traffic or parking ticket in the county and raise an estimated $64.4 million. Democrats also called on Republicans to convene a full Legislature meeting and vote on the budget Monday. Republicans plan to propose new revenue or spending cuts to fill the hole for the Legislature’s approval at its Nov. 21 meeting. Among them is an am-
nesty program that would allow business owners to pay 75 percent of the county fines they owe for violating a law that requires owners of investment properties to report income and expenses for those properties. The penalties could raise up to $105 million, Newsday reported, but the law is being challenged in state court. The Democrats’ proposed charter amendment is unlikely to be called for a vote by Republican Presiding Offi-
cer Norma Gonsalves of East Meadow. Democrats thought it would be futile to file any amendments to Mangano’s budget because they would not be considered, Abrahams has said. In a statement, Gonsalves criticized Democrats for not offering any suggestions to fill the budget hole. “It is galling that the Democrats are submitting this legislation to restrict potential budget solutions when they have not offered a single idea
to amend the budget, regardless of deadlines,” she said. Brian Nevin, a spokesman for Mangano, deferred questions to the Legislature. The final county budget is subject to approval by the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, the county’s state financial control board. NIFA last week told the county to develop contingency plans for up to $100 million in immediate spending cuts in case NIFA rejects the budget.

Business&RealEstate What makes Great Neck great I have lived in Great Neck for way over a half a century and seen many, many changes, the majority positive and I have found it to be quite an amazing town to call my home. There are nine villages, including, Kings Point, The Village of Great Neck, Saddle Rock, Saddle Rock Estates (not a village and unincorporated) Harbor Hills (not a village and not incorporated), Great Neck Estates, Kensington, Thomaston, Russel Gardens, University Gardens, and Lake Success. There are also specific areas and streets which are not incorporated (not part of an incorporated village) but are part of Great Neck and the Great Neck Park District, but are part of the Town of North Hempstead (get their refuse picked up by the town, but lower Real Estate taxes, due to no extra costs of mayors, trustees, employees and maintenance of buildings and grounds). The villages of Kings Point, The Village of Great Neck, Kensington, Great Neck Plaza, Thomaston and Russell Gardens are included in the Great Neck Park District as well as those unincorporated areas. There are so many things to keep you and the kids busy, such as, of course, the Parkwood Pool, the Ice Skating Rink and Tennis Complex as well as rock climbing wall, ping pong, bad mitten, volley ball, billiards, basketball and all sorts of games during the summer in the recreation center (ice rink in the winter). Your children can also join the swim and diving club. Having your Great Neck Park District photo ID, enables you and your family to enter Steppingstone Park and the use of all its facilities including the “over the top” summer concerts. There are also three park district-owned parking lot facilities: on North Station Plaza, Canterbury Road and Welwyn Road. You need a photo ID card from the Great Neck Park District to use those facilities (daily/monthly fees to Park). The areas in Great Neck that are not part of the Great Neck Park District are Lake Success, University Gardens, Harbor Hills, Saddle Rock and Saddle
Rock Estates. We are one of the few park districts in the State of New York and was the first to become one in 1916. There are 21 active and passive parks in Great Neck, and from my research, more than any other towns that I can think of in the U.S. I had done a study for Neil Marrin a former Great Neck Park District superintendent about the best most advantageous use of park land. To make a long story short, keeping open space was the most economical and least costly and best use for a number of reasons. First and foremost, was the fact, that if the land were to be developed, the school and local population would increase substantially, infrastructure e.g. sewers/cesspools would be very expensive to build and maintain, less open space to recharge our aquifers and local real estate taxes would increase. So maintaining park land as open space for our area would have less of an impact on our quality of life than developing it; and in fact we have the best quality of life compared with a many, many other communities, due to the hundreds of acres of protected open space that our fantastic and dynamic current and past Great Neck Park District commissioners have secured since 1916, when it was created. My hat is off to the current group , Robert Lincoln, Frank Cilluffo and Dan Nachmanoff for keeping our Park District what it is, “The jewel of Great Neck” and their efforts going forward, to have a new recreation center on Steamboat Road for all to enjoy! As I mentioned we have top notch concerts in Ielpi Park (Grace Ave.) (free to all)and Steppingstone Park during the summer months(need a park district photo ID card). You can also have picnics in Steppingstone Park for, I believe, up to 30 people with a permit (also free). You can moor your boat or sale boat there at a nominal cost as well as to learn how to sail (fee based). There is a ramp in the Park to slide your boat or water craft into the water and enjoy the
PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch day! There are nature walks, visits to the Light House, dinner cruises to Port Washington and the Crab Shack in City Island and history walks in the Village of Great Neck Plaza. Free movies at Great Neck House (with a park district card) during the weekends year round. I did mention ice skating in the Parkwood rink, with hockey teams to join, rental skate area and concession stand when you get those hunger pangs satisfied! We have an Autofest in the fall in the Village of Great Neck Plaza, where 1000s of people in and out of Great Neck enjoy the day and a second crafts Fair in the Village of Great Neck in May, around Memorial Day Weekend in the spring. We have one movie theatre, as well as numerous and varied foods in a multitude of restaurants throughout Great Neck Plaza. There are so many things to do in Great Neck for you and the kids, that it is like being on vacation, but I call it a staycation, since you don’t have to drive anywhere and it’s almost free! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that our newly renovated high tech Library on Bayview Ave had its grand opening the other Sunday. After a special meeting last week, we learned that the park district is in the beginning stages of potentially purchasing a tennis court on Steamboat Road to be turned into an amazing and much needed recreation center for the kids and adults, especially in the winter months, so everyone within the park district will have a place to enjoy and have fun.
Lastly, we have a multitude of adult classes to learn everything from stock picking to dancing and computer lessons, a cornucopia of choices! Many move here after downsizing and realize what a special place it is with all its amenities, special events and also proximity to New York City. All this absolutely contributes to the true value of our real estate and its inhabitants to enjoy a special place to call home. Over the many years that I have resided in Great Neck, I have come to the realization that, you are not purchasing or leasing a home, condo, co-op, but are gaining a unique lifestyle, whatever that may mean to you, your significant other and children. Like a newly planted tree, you begin to grow roots and expand as you network and connect in a highly rated community of diverse cultures and demographics, and the truth is, “We all do Get along here, regardless of where we come from; with a minimum of crime and a maximum of safety. The bottom line, none of us are really Americans, except those that have been born here (or the people that walked over the Asian Peninsula, when it was attached to Alaska, 10,000 years ago. Lastly, our ancestors are from around the globe and got transplanted here either for opportunity or political reasons. So, the bottom line is that we are all essential immigrants that were born and traveled here, most with not a dime in their pocket and a fortunate few with large sums of money; all seeking a new life of freedom and opportunity.
Since I am here for so long, and I know that I couldn’t find a more exciting place to live, so, I won’t be moving anytime or anywhere soon, just chillin’ and having as much fun as possible in Great Neck! P.S. By the time you read this article, we will have already elected a new president and I surely hope whomever it is, that they live up to whatever course they plan to navigate our country through during the next four years and just do whatever they say they will do for the good of all of us in the USA. Learning how to be and have much more non-partisan politics and more help and assistance from our senators and congresspeople in our government! So, I just hope our freedoms and opportunities that are available today to those who are already here and those who come here legally, will continue to flourish and exist for our society and country into the foreseeable future and will not selfimplode, as history has shown us time and again as happened with the Romans, Greeks and all other major and dominant civilizations that did themselves in, for no real logical or good reason except greed and partisan politics!

From left, Assistant Principal Craig Weiss and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kathleen Mooney congratulate Schreiber High School’s 11 Certificate of Merit winners in the New York State Archives research competition, joined by Schreiber Social Studies Department Chairperson Lawrence Schultz, teachers Elizabeth Dragos and David O’Connor, and Principal Ira Pernick.
Port students net award for history 11 H.S. students win merit certificate BY ST E P H E N ROMANO The New York State Archives research competition last Thursday awarded 11 Paul D. Schreiber High School students Certificate of Merit honors for historical research. The competition honored Nathan Abramowitz, Sarah Finkelstein, Caitlin Maley, Matthew Gawley, Cameron Helman, Adi Levin, Lucy Hurt, Colleen O’Donnell, Maria Mirasol, Lauren Seidman and Amanda Wong for their individual and team work on research papers. “This remarkable accomplishment speaks to the dedication of our Schreiber research students, social science research teachers Elizabeth Dragos and David O’Connor, and the school’s research program as a whole,” said Lawrence Schultz, chairman of the Schreiber social studies department. Students eligible for the contest can work individually or in groups and are required to develop projects on a “historical marker, property or district,” according to the competition’s guidelines. The students are part of the school’s social science research program, which is a three-year sequence that only accepts 10 students per grade, Schultz said. Students began as early as
last year researching, developing and writing papers on topics that include prohibition in New York City, the Son of Sam serial killer, the foundation of Cooper Union, Chinese immigration, female opportunity and fanaticism, the creation of Merriman Park in Port Washington, the 27th Division and more. “As the department chair, I have to say I was stunned to see that 11 of our students were being honored,” Schultz said. “I applaud the Schreiber social studies department and social science teachers who do a tremendous job involving students in projects and competitions that allow them to pursue their passions and showcase their knowledge for regional recognition,” Superintendent of Schools Kathleen Mooney said in a news release. “Congratulations to these students, for once again making us proud.” While speaking with students after the competition, Schultz said, they are happy but eager to begin working on their research and papers for next year’s competition. “I have spoken to several of the students who have won and they are all almost universally humble,” he said.

Stella Warwick, a Port Washington-based graphic designer and artist, whose designs appeared in Hallmark’s best-selling greeting cards, died on Sept. 27 from complications with an undiagnosed blood clot. She was 89. A resident of Port Washington for 52 years, Warwick attended the Jackson Von Ladau School of Fashion in Boston on a full scholarship. “She was just very good at everything she did,” James Warwick, her son, said, “especially anything with art or fashion. She was just in a league of her own.” Working as a window designer creating fashion displays for Filene’s department store in Boston, Warwick began freelancing for Hallmark for extra money. “She worked on some of the most popular and best-selling Hallmark cards ever,” James Warwick said. “Some of them are still on the shelves at stores.” In the early 1960s, Warwick freelanced for Seventeen magazine, creating fashion illustrations and compiling different fashion trends for a section of the magazine that advised women on seasonal fashion styles. Because of her knowledge of fashion, Warwick would create her own clothes out of her designs, James Warwick said. “One day she was wearing her own clothes and the editor of Seventeen magazine asked her where she got them,” James Warwick said. “ And when she found out, she had my mom’s clothes made up. She would walk down the street wearing her authentic, original clothes and she’d walk by someone wearing a knock-off of it. People were stealing her designs be-
Stella Warwick cause they were so good.” She also worked for Herald Cabot, an advertising agency in Boston, where she worked on fashion accounts. In the 1970s, James Warwick began designing the Happy Box for Burger King, which was a product that combined a hamburger, french fries and a drink. When he needed help, he said, he hired Warwick to help with the design. His boss later replaced him with Warwick, “because he liked her work better than mine,” he said. “I came up with the idea and she executed it,” James Warwick said. “They loved her stuff and they offered her my job.” Warwick was born in Schenectady, New York, and married James F. Warwick, who died in 2006. Warwick worked as the art director at the Manhasset Public Library until she retired at the age of 75. During her retirement, Warwick attended a Lincoln Center opera at least once a week. “She loved the opera,” James Warwick said. “She knew all of the singers and all of the areas showing shows. She just loved it. It was one of her pas-
sions.’’ Warwick loved the movies, James Warwick said, especially classic films from the French neorealism and British comedies era. Every Saturday, Warwick would go see a film at an art house movie theater in Manhasset or Roslyn with James Warwick, he said. “She loved the movies, but she also loved the water and loved to be close to it,” James Warwick said. “She loved Port Washington’s waterfront and even lived close to the water when she was in Boston.” Although she wasn’t wealthy, she donated to many charities in Port Washington, always giving as much as she could to help out a local cause, James Warwick said. “She was very helpful to every charity,” he said. On Oct. 15, James Warwick, a singer who goes by the stage name Jimmy Valentine, performed at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington and dedicated the show to his mother. “It was a tough show to get through because of her passing, but she told me if anything happen that she wanted me to go on with the show,” James Warwick said. “She was very supportive of me.” “She was just the best and such a terrific person,” James Warwick said. “She wasn’t just my mother; she was my friend as well.” She is survived by her sons James and Christopher Warwick; her daughter, Pamela Warwick; and her grandson, Christopher St. Laurent. When she died, per her request, Warwick’s body was donated to Stony Brook Medical School for research purposes.
Neighbors slam construction Continued from Page 4 effect,” he said. “If something comes up you have to hold off everything else.” The conversation turned to the pending completion of the home’s septic system, which Lin Chung said was the final project to be finished by the contractor who preceded him. “Once the septic system is
done, I’ll move things quickly,” he said. “When will the septic system be finished?” Butt answered. “Two weeks,” Andy Chung said. Riscica said that because the village does not need to decide on the extension until December, he will see whether the septic system is finished in the
time promised. The intervening time will also allow Butt to look closely at the homeowner’s building plan and give an honest assessment, he said. “We want to see the disruptive part of this work put behind us,” Riscica added. “In a month we’ll have a handshake on what to do to move forward.”

Sportwriter rounds back home Continued from Page 3 Triumph in the Biggest Game of My Life,” which chronicles the last game of the 1986 World Series. “It’s always nice getting back to Port Washington to promote work,” said Paisner, a Port Washington resident since 1989. “It’s great when people come out who don’t know me. I always feel like I’m putting my friends out to come to these things, but it’s so nice when I see strangers come and I get to meet them and tell them about my book.” Working in the publicity department at Simon & Schuster, Paisner began freelancing for The New York Times, Associated Press and New York Daily News, but he said he always knew he wanted to write books. Growing up in Roslyn, Paisner attended the Wheatley School and edited its student newspaper, The Wildcat, and also put out smaller newspapers with his friends around the neighborhood, he said. “I’ve always been writing,” he said. “It’s just something that came naturally, and I’ve always been better at translating thoughts from my head through writing.” While Paisner has collaborated with celebrities and athletes, including Darling, Ivanka Trump, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, Serena Williams and the entrepreneur Daymond John, he has also written four novels, which he said is what he originally wanted to do as a writer. But when he’s collaborating with someone, he said, it’s their story, not one he’s making up. “It’s a little bit easier for me to work with something else, because the story has been lived and told,” he said. “I’m not looking at blank page and looking to fill it. I know where I’m going with the story.” Paisner’s most recent novel, “A Single
PHOTO COURTESY OF DANIEL PAISNER
Daniel Paisner Happened Thing,” which came out in April, uses baseball from the 1800s to introduce a contemporary character, he said. Although he’s written mostly nonfiction books, Paisner said, it wasn’t difficult for him to develop his writing voice, and when he’s collaborating with someone, he has to try and find their voice and write their narrative. “I do have my own voice and style, but I try to approach collaborations as if I’m writing about characters,” he said. “I want to get inside their head and learn their voices, lives and personalities.” In 2012, he collaborated on “Scratching the Horizon: A Surfing Life” with surfer Izzy Paskowitz, channeling the voice of a “surfer dude” throughout the book, he
said. Usually working on books for six to nine months, Paisner said, projects began to find him. “Not a lot of people do this for a living,” he said. “It’s typically a family member or friend, a journalist who followed them around for a long time throughout their career, or a magazine writer who is expanding a story. If not, it’s usually someone in this small community of collaborators.” Writing books about high-profile athletes and celebrities has gotten Paisner more deals, he said, but he enjoys telling the stories of ordinary people “who do something extraordinary.” Paisner collaborated with Port Washington resident Krystyna Chiger to write “The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in the Holocaust’s Shadow,” a book that tells the story of Chiger’s time during the Holocaust. “It was such an honest and compelling story,” Paisner said. “My favorite stories will always be the ones with ordinary folks. It was difficult because our sessions were very emotional and real.” Paisner’s experiences with the people he has written about, he said, have spawned friendships that have lasted years. Every year, Paisner volunteers for Paskowitz’s foundation, working with children who are on the autism spectrum, he said. “These relationships and friendships are formed from writing books with people, and it’s allowed me to go back and write a second or third with someone,” he said. “All of these books come with a reward, whether it’s financially, or an award, or a friendship. They are all so rewarding.”
Alzheimer’s study scores $500K Continued from Page 2 mice and experiment with possible treatments for those exhibiting aggressive behavior. The mice provide the scientists with a “very rapid way to screen for new treatments and new ways to address this problem,” Davies said. “You can screen hundreds and hundreds of drugs in a very short space of time,” he added. The feature of Alzheimer’s most likely to cause the violence is a brain formation called a tangle, which is made up of a common neurological protein called tau, Davies said. In a tangle, tau takes on an abnormal, disruptive shape. The combination of tangles and an excess of the brain chemical dopamine is
a “very dangerous combination,” Davies added. The current treatment for the aggressive symptoms is a regimen of antipsychotic drugs like those prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of schizophrenia, Davies said. Such drugs, however, can hasten the death of an elderly person with Alzheimer’s. “It’s a very bad situation because on the one hand there is the patient’s troublesome behavior and on the other hand, if you try to treat it with antipsychotics, you’re putting a patient’s life at risk,” Davies said. “It’s terribly troublesome. Families get really desperate because of this.” Citing preliminary research, Davies said he thinks the study could result in a treatment that reduces violent symptoms
and alleviates their intensity. “If patients do become agitated, it will be much more mild than it currently is,” he said. “We hope to have a treatment by the end of the five years.” If a treatment is discovered, it would then have to undergo a multiyear testing and certification process before it becomes available to patients. While passionate about the research, Davies has not had personal contact with a friend or relative with the disease. “The good news is no member of my family has developed Alzheimer’s disease,” he said. ‘‘The bad news is people in my family generally don’t live long enough to develop Alzheimer’s.”
Ritz to begin phase 2 Continued from Page 25 phase two of construction, village residents expressed concern over increased traffic congestion caused by the development. Prior to the meeting, RXR had installed a traffic light at the Ritz-Carlton’s New Hyde Park Road entrance, as the village required it to do. Haftel said he has not heard any further complaints about the traffic and doesn’t expect it will be a problem going forward. “We’re going to stage parking areas for workers within our site,” he said. The hotelier manages the condos in a partnership with RXR, which purchased the North Hills property and has worked to develop it since 2007. The firm split the project into two phases in 2013, after the 2008 financial crash led to long delays and a major redesign. Emily Bock, sales and marketing manager at the Ritz Carlton Residences, said a community has started to form at the complex. “We just had a Halloween party throughout the top floor of the clubhouse,” she said. “We had a haunted house and a spooky movie in the theater.” She said the complex’s facilities will not have a problem accommodating the residents who eventually move into phase two condominiums. “Everything is suited for the 244 residents for whom [the complex] was originally planned.”
Lead found in schools Continued from Page 2 $1,100 each. “The Elkay water fillers are brilliant because students bring their own water bottles,” said Regina Rule, president of the Manhasset Board of Education. “We want them drinking as much water as possible.”

Suozzi got back to old self in campaign Continued from Page 8 “When they start doing the TV commercials and they spend the time trying to knock me down, I’m going to need you more then than even now to stand up and say, ‘You know what, I met that guy, he’s a pretty good guy,’â€? Suozzi told about three dozen seniors at The Bristal. A loss to Martins this year could eectively end Suozzi’s political career. Suozzi has stayed ahead in the polls, but his lead has shrunk from 16 percentage points to seven, according to a Newsday/ News 12/Siena College poll published Saturday. Suozzi said this campaign more closely resembles his successful runs for mayor of Glen Cove and Nassau County executive than the last three races he lost, putting him on political hiatus. He is focused now on this campaign and no longer has the ambition for higher oďŹƒce that voters have associated with him, he said. The names on his campaign roster also
look familiar. Kim Devlin, his primary political strategist and a campaign spokeswoman, ran his successful 2001 and 2005 county executive campaigns and worked on his failed run for governor in 2006. Suozzi’s campaign is the ďŹ rst Mike Florio, his campaign manager and former aide, has ever run. Suozzi brought him on because he’s “an honest person who I trust,â€? he said. Suozzi’s personality and passion resonated with some voters at his campaign events. “He’s a ďŹ ghter, apparently, and we need ďŹ ghters,â€? said Felice Pester, a Democrat who lives at The Bristal. “And he’s willing to work with the opposite side, which nobody is today.â€? One man at Temple Chai said he would vote for Suozzi along with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the top of the ticket. “He’s an honest man,â€? he said of Suozzi.

Sports Carle Place/Wheatley advances Quarterback Chris Kelly leads team with 2 touchdown runs in conference quarterfinals BY G R E G ORY GIACONELLI The second seeded Carle Place/Wheatley Wild-Frogs defeated seventh seed East Rockaway Rocks 42-12 in the Nassau Conference IV quarterfinals on Friday evening, led by quarterback Chris Kelly’s two touchdown runs. Kelly rushed for 128 yards on five carries while running back Dom Pascarella ran for 39 yards on five attempts and scored a touchdown for Carle Place.
FINAL
42 - 12 Carle Place/ Wheatley WILD-FROGS
East Rockaway ROCKS
Carle/Place Wheatley fullback Dayce Niosi also added a touchdown and rushed for 55 yards on nine carries. Head coach Tim Moran said it was another big team win, as their running game and play on the line of scrimmage was the difference in the matchup against East Rockaway. “We spread the ball around and the offensive line did their job,” Moran said. “Once we controlled both lines of scrimmage, we knew we were gonna be in good shape. We played physical and we set out to do what we
Carle Place/Wheatley linebacker Joe Megiel (No. 51) came to do since August.” Carle Place/Wheatley got on the board first with 7:12 remaining in the first quarter. After they stopped East Rockaway on the game’s opening drive, Carle Place took over. Their 64-yard opening drive was capped by a 14-yard rushing touchdown from running back Luke Caliendo. Caliendo then kicked the extra point and gave Carle Place/Wheatley a 7-0 lead.
With 1:34 left in the first quarter, Kelly gave Carle Place another touchdown with a 58yard dash and Caliendo added the extra point to make it 14-0. Pascarella ran for a five-yard touchdown with 2:08 left in the second quarter. Caliendo tacked on the extra point and Carle Place/Wheatley took a 21-0 lead into halftime. In the third quarter, after stopping Carle Place on their
opening drive, East Rockaway took over from their own 11yard line to begin an 89-yard drive. James Tierney got East Rockaway on the board with a six-yard run but they failed to convert on the extra point attempt. Carle Place/Wheatley led 21-6 with 6:36 left in the third quarter. Carle Place answered back as Niosi capped off a 66-yard
drive on a one-yard rushing touchdown with 2:17 remaining in the third quarter. Caliendo’s kick extended Carle Place’s lead 28-6. In the fourth quarter, with 11:03 left to go, Kelly’s 31-yard touchdown run completed a 54yard drive and Caliendo’s extra point attempt gave Carle Place/ Wheatley a 35-6 lead. East Rockaway responded with a 72-yard drive, resulting in Colin Barnes’ 14-yard rush with nine minutes left. However, they failed to complete the two point conversion and Carle Place led 35-12. With 4:22 left to play, quarterback Matt Baltzer faked a handoff and ran for a 27-yard touchdown while Caliendo’s kick finished off the scoring as Carle Place/Wheatley won 42-12. Moran said this win was their first playoff victory since Carle Place and Wheatley merged their football programs 10 years ago. “It feel’s good but it’s definitely not over yet” Moran said. “We won’t be happy until the season is over.” Kelly said the feeling of earning their first postseason win was just unbelievable, as they gear up for the semifinals at Hofstra University. “We knew there was a lot of excitement around this game and we knew that we wanted it,” Kelly said. “It means so much not just for the team, but for the whole community. We always get a good crowd that comes out to support us and now they get to watch us at Hofstra.” Weekly Football Scores Saturday Nov. 5 Wantagh defeated Floral Park 48-0.

Wheatley boots way to championship BY G R E G ORY GIACONELLI The top seeded Wheatley Lady Wildcats defeated second seed Carle Place Lady Frogs 5-0 in the Nassau B championship game Tuesday afternoon at Cold Spring Harbor High School.

Tiffany Bernot and Nicole Hetzel led Wheatley with two goals each. Isa Rios also provided a goal to pace Wheatley’s attack, as they captured the Nassau Class B title. Head coach Paul Paino said it felt great to come out on top and make amends for last year’s defeat against Carle Place. “Last year, we were co-

According to Paino, their game plan heading into the championship game was using their speed on the outside and have Bernot control the ball at midfield.
Paino said Bernot, Rios, forward Allie Lamonica and defender Gretchen Keller contributed in stopping Carle Place’s top two players. “Everyone did their jobs
perfectly,” Paino said. “Tiffany did a good job marking their best player and Allie and Isa got a boost on the wing. Gretchen also did a great job defending their other big scorer.” Paino said Hetzel, who didn’t score much in the regular season, played a great game as she and Bernot combined for four of the five Wheatley goals. Rios netted the final goal to secure a championship berth for Wheatley. Paino said the biggest factor in the win was their attack and ability to sustain pressure, where they peppered the opposition with 11 shots on net. “We put the pressure on them,” Paino said. “Our wings, Allie, Isa and Tiffany had the ball in their end and were putting so much pressure on them all day long. They really didn’t have many opportunities to put pressure on us.”
LIU Post steamrolls way to 10-0 BY M I C H A E L OTERO After dominating Pace University in their regular-season home finale and climbing to their highest national ranking in program history, the No. 10 ranked LIU Post football team solidified its place as one of the best teams in Division II with a 64-7 victory over Merrimack College in North Andover, Mass. on Saturday, Nov. 5.
FINAL
64 - 7 LIU Post PIONEERS
Merrimack WARRIORS
The win gave the Pioneers a perfect 10-0 season for the first time since 2002. Coming back from a knee injury, senior quarterback Jeff Kidd led the Pioneers, completing 21-of-30 passes for 266 yards and two touchdowns. He was eventually relieved by red-shirt sophomore quarterback Michael Campbell, who threw for 74 yards on only six attempts and two scores. The LIU Post offense got going early and often. In the first quarter, separate Pioneer drives were capped off
by senior halfback David White, who ran in from 15 yards out and red-shirt junior receiver Kyle Ward, who scored on a 12yard pass from Kidd. In the second quarter, redshirt sophomore running back, the second of the two-headed backfield monster, found the end zone from three yards out to make it 21-0 in favor of LIU Post. A few possessions later, the Pioneers went up four touchdowns on connection from Kidd to red-shirt senior pass catcher Shane Hubbard. At halftime, the Pioneers led 31-0. The Pioneers, though, were not satisfied with a 31-point ad-
vantage. In the second half, they changed that in just two plays. Red-shirt sophomore defensive back Kasim Thomas read the eyes of the opposing quarterback, picked off the pass and took it back 18 yards for a picksix. Campbell subbed in under center for a majority of the second half and threw touchdown passes to red-shirt junior receiver Tyler Collins and red-shirt sophomore receiver Michael Hartgrove. The final Pioneer points came from freshman tailback Tim Marinan, who scampered 18 yards for six, making it 64-0
at that point in the fourth quarter. A Merrimack touchdown with a minute left spoiled the Pioneer shutout, but nonetheless, the Pioneers dominated every facet of the game. The Pioneers rushing attack totaled 194 yards from nine contributors. In the receiving department, Hubbard went for six catches, 84 yards and a touchdown while Higgins also had six catches for 56 yards. Defensively, the Pioneers had four interceptions, two by freshman defensive back Joshua Flowers. Red-shirt freshman line-

backer Conor Haverty had four tackles and a forced fumble in the victory as well. “The boys up front did a great job in shutting down the run game and making them one-dimensional,” head LIU Post football coach Bryan Collins said. By making them rely solely on the pass, the Pioneers forced turnover after turnover. The defense allowed a total of 167 yards compared to 534 for LIU Post. The Pioneers, led by Collins, will host No. 15 ranked Assumption College in the NE-10 Conference Championship on Saturday, Nov. 12. In their matchup earlier this season, the Pioneers came out victorious 19-18, in large part due to a running game that went for 185 yards and a defense that forced three turnovers. Kickoff at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium is at noon. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3.

LIU Post hopes to build on last season Seek to continue year-to-year improvement behind two All-Conference players BY M I C H A E L OTERO The LIU Post men’s basketball team is coming off an 18-12 season and Head Coach Erik Smiles is looking to keep the trend in an uptick in wins per season; winning more games than the previous season. Smiles, now in his three year at the helm, has compiled a 52-37 record and has gone 4029 in conference play. Smiles believes it starts with his two AllConference players, Jared Hall and Greg Dotson. “It really all starts with those guys and they are two great pieces to build off,” said Smiles. In addition to the Hall and Dotson duo, Smiles is also expecting big contributions from two other players who logged big minutes last season. “Aary Bibens and Hunter Powell…both

While Smiles noted that those four players will play major roles, he didn’t underestimate the transfer and freshmen talent on his roster. “With all the new guys on the team, we have been going a lot slower installing plays and concepts this year,” said Smiles. “But in the end when the lights go on it’s just basketball and players are players and they will respond.” According to Smiles, Jamal Mosley and Kyle McLeggan are two transfer students who
“are really going to impact us.” Under Coach Smiles a season ago, opponents shot just 38 percent from the field. In fact, with Smiles on the sidelines, the LIU Post men’s basketball team has been the second and third best defensive teams in Division II in terms of field goal percentage during the last two seasons. “We take a lot of pride in our defense and we tell our guys if you can’t guard then you can’t play here,” Smiles
said. The core group of upperclassmen and young hungry underclassmen is a good formula for a run deep into the season. Smiles said that’s the goal. “Our goal is always to win a championship and I think by season’s end we will definitely have a chance to do that. I like our program right now and where we are and if we can stay healthy, I think we will have a chance come March,” Smiles said. The LIU Post men’s
basketball season begins on Saturday, Nov. 12, against the University of the Sciences of Philadelphia at the Pratt Recreation Center in Brookville, N.Y. at 2 p.m. This article was originally published in the Pioneer, the awardwinning student newspaper of LIU Post, www. liupostpioneer.com, and is republished here by Blank Slate Media with the permission of the Pioneer.

LIU Post hopes to rebound from 5-23 Coach Deirdre Moore says consistency, hard work keys to team’s improvement BY M I C H A E L OTERO The 2016-17 season will be the ninth season with Deirdre Moore at the helm of the LIU Post women’s basketball team. Since she began as head coach in 2008-09, Moore has a record of 13697. Moore’s team will look to grind out more wins this year and improve on a down season a year ago, when the team went 5-23. Moore believes stacking up more wins this season starts with “focusing on being consistent and working hard.” If that is done, the Pioneers can live with the outcome. In terms of seeing better results on the court, Moore said, “The players, both old and new, have worked hard over the summer and off-season to improve their game.” Last season, the Pioneers shot 36 percent from the field and would like to see that improve this year. Although only slightly better, the opposition shot 39 percent, showing the Pioneers’ strength last season was definitely their defense. The Pioneers are working on offensive efficiency. “We have been committed to more competitive shooting and extra shooting,” said Moore. “I also think shot selection will help us increase our efficiency and field goal percentage.” “I love the three-point shot on offense and hate it on defense,” said Moore. “To me the three point shot is a possession and a half. I like to shoot it on offense and we have to defend it well on defense.” A season ago, the women’s basketball team made and gave up five three-pointers a game. Moore added that the team has some very good shooters with prowess from deep.
The LIU Post women’s basketball team will start its season in Brookville on Nov. 11 against Pace University. “I would like to see my team compete with the most effort and intelligently,” said Moore. “One goal that I have is for us to be in our conference tournament and make it back to the National Tournament…I would like to be one of the better teams in our conference and region.” The LIU Post women’s basketball team begins its regular season Friday, Nov. 11, against Pace University at 5 p.m. at the Pratt Recreation Center in Brookville.
