Driver hit 106 before Quogue crash: cops Report details moments before fatal impact in July

BY S A M U E L E PE TRUCCELLI The driver who rammed into an oncoming Uber vehicle in Quogue was speeding at more than 100 mph before the collision that killed him and four others, including three Manhasset men, police said last Friday.

Justin Mendez, 22, of Brookhaven, slammed into the for-hire car at 86 mph on a curve of the Montauk Highway on July 24, Quogue police said in a news release.

His speed just 3 ½ seconds

before the head-on crash was 106 mph, police said, citing data that the New York State Police recovered from the black box in Mendez’s Nissan Maxima.

The data showed no indication that Mendez applied his brakes before the crash, according to police. The police also released an account from a witness who said Mendez did not have his lights on before the late-night collision.

“I did not realize until after my headlights had illuminated the vehicle that the red car had no lights on and was

completely blacked out,” said the witness, who was driving east on the two-lane road, according to the Quogue Police Department. “When this vehicle passed me, it appeared as the vehicle was traveling at over 100 miles per hour, which sounded like a race car, taking my breath away.”

Among the five fatalities were three Manhasset men, brothers Michael and James Farrell, 20 and 25 years old, and Ryan Kiess, also 25. Thousands attended their wakes and funerals following a series Continued on Page 55

McCarty says she’s Celano says 7 a problem solver board goals met

GOP candidate touts new perspective on taxes, issues Herricks improved curriculum in pandemic

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE CANDIDATE

Meagan McCarty of Port Washington is running for Nassau County Legislature this November.

BY B R A N D ON DUFFY Meagan McCarty of Port Washington said she believes it is time for a fresh set of eyes for Nassau County’s 11th Legislative District. She is running against seven-term incumbent Delia DeRiggi-Whitton as the Republican candidate on Nov. 2.

McCarty, wife of a Port Washington police sergeant and mother of two, has experience working in campaigns for former state Sen. Elaine Phillips, former North Hempstead Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio, and state Senate candidate Dave Franklin.

“I’ve always been a heck of a volunteer,” McCarty said in an

interview with Blank Slate Media.

One of McCarty’s main issues is slowing down tax increases for her district, which encompasses Albertson, Glen Cove, Glen Head, Glenwood Landing, Greenvale, Locust Valley, Manhasset, the Port Washington peninsula, Roslyn, Roslyn Heights and Sea Cliff.

If elected, McCarty said she would tackle this issue by supporting the idea of an elected assessor who lives in Nassau County.

“I’m opposed to the lack of transparency that’s going on,” McCarty said. “I don’t know the formula that was used and no one can give me that informa-

tion. That’s what the major opposition is with that I want to hold the assessor accountable.”

Also important to McCarty is assisting small businesses, an issue she wants to work on after seeing so many “For Rent” signs in the North Shore’s business districts. She said that she would host quarterly round tables for business owners across the district to see what the county could do for them.

“That’s something that I’ve already started doing,” McCarty said. “I’ve really enjoyed hearing from small-business owners and what their concerns are, and how I can help them out.”

McCarty says she would also take a look at “quality of life issues,” including county parks needing upgrades.

McCarty said she believes that information and accessibility should be at the top of any elected official’s priorities. She said she has grown frustrated with arduous processes and officials not meeting their taxpayers in the middle.

“It’s your job to get all the information out there,” McCarty said.

The Port Washington resident also said she has confidence in the Nassau County Board of Elections.

When asked whether or not Joe Biden won a free and fair election, she said we have more to bring us together than divide us.

“The bottom line is Joe Biden’s our president,” McCarty said. “When you break it down, and we have great conversations, we have more in common and I think once we realize that, we’re going to all be able to work together and accomplish a lot more.”

Overall, McCarty said she wants to be a spark for Nassau Continued on Page 43

BY B R A N D ON DUFFY Herricks School Superintendent Fino Celano said last Thursday night that the district was able to accomplish seven goals that it had set to be completed

by September.

“Goals become measures of accountability,” Celano said at a Board of Education meeting at the Herricks Community Center also available on Zoom.

“As great as we are as a school district, we’re looking to always improve.”

Celano discussed goals that were completed, were in the midst of completion or were set to begin this school year.

He said the goals reached in the last year included refining technology to enhance instruction during three different modes of learning. Last year staff and technology needed to handle in-person, hybrid and remote learning.

“The pandemic forced school teachers, administrators, students and everyone to experiment and to learn new methods of using instructional technology,” he said.

Another goal that was completed but is set to be expanded upon this year is the new teacher internship program in conjunction with Hofstra University’s School of Education. Last year only one student teacher was able to work at Herricks but now the district has three, according to the superintendent.

“There’s a lot of added value to our programs, and at the same time, you serve as a center for the new teachers to learn,” Celano said. “They’re really learning from the best when they work with our faculty.”

The other five goals completed last year in the district included a curriculum review in guidance, refining the district’s mental health curriculum, refining the annual performance professional review plan, designing systems for online staff recruitment and planning for capital improvements.

Multiyear goals the district is currently completing are enhancements to the curriculum in different subjects, as well as maintaining a climate of inclusivity, cultural sensitivity and equity.

GOPers present amendments to budget Executive Curran says $3.5B proposal will cut property taxes by $70M, increase spending

BY R OB E RT PELAEZ Republican legislators presented amendments to Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s proposed 2022 budget on Tuesday.

According to Curran, the proposed $3.5 billion budget will cut property taxes by $70 million next year. Majority officials proposed to have Curran’s budget reduce taxes by an additional $50 million to make it a total of $120 million. Curran said surplus funds in the 2019 budget ($145 million) and the 2020 budget ($128 million) will allow the county to cut taxes in 2022.

Majority officials also called for Curran, a Democrat, to sign legislation that would eliminate roughly $100 million in county fees. The GOP-backed bill was passed 11-0 last week and, if approved by Curran, would eliminate the $350 tax map verification fee and the $55 public safety fee as well as reduce the $300 recording fee to $50.

Legislators also called for

Republican legislators outlined amendments for Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s proposed 2022 budget on Tuesday.

the elimination of $1.1 million for seven of Curran’s public relations employees and other political patronage positions. Officials also called for the establishment of a countywide rodent extermination program.

“The Republican Majority’s amendments to the County Executive’s budget cuts property taxes by an additional $50 million bringing the total tax cut to $120 million, removes $100 million dollars in county fees and removes wasteful political patronage positions in the county executive’s budget,” Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said in a statement.

“These fee and tax cuts will help our seniors, veterans and working-class families by providing much needed financial relief when they need it most,” Legislator Bill Gaylor (R-Lynbrook) said.

County spokesman Michael Fricchione said Curran’s budget proposal effectively serves the needs of Nassau residents and prioritizes finances better than the previous administraContinued on Page 43

Ex-doc sentenced for opioid dealing Tamesgwar Ammar conspired to illegally distribute while operating Roslyn practice

BY R OB E RT PELAEZ

A former doctor whose practice was located in Roslyn was sentenced to five years in prison last Thursday for conspiring to illegally distribute opioids, according to the U.S. attorney’s office of the Eastern District of New York.

Tameshwar Ammar, 53, who was indicted in November 2019 and worked at Age Management Associates at 55 Bryant Ave., relinquished his license to practice medicine in June 2020.

In July 2020, Ammar pleaded guilty via teleconference to conspiring to illegally distribute more than 19,000 oxycodone pills to two individuals identified in the indictment as John Doe 1 and John Doe 2. As part of his plea, officials said, Ammar PHOTO COURTESY OF GOOGLE MAPS agreed to forfeit approximately $245,700 as proceeds involved Tameshwar Ammar, who practiced at Age Management Associates at 55 Bryant Ave. in Roslyn, was sentenced to five in the oxycodone offense.

Curran gets bipartisan backing of mayors Republican, Democrats from across Nassau endorse county executive’s re-election bid

BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z

PHOTO COURTESY OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S OFFICE

Mayors throughout Nassau endorsed County Executive Laura Curran for re-election.

Several North Shore mayors along with Republican and Democratic ones throughout Nassau County have endorsed County Executive Laura Curran for re-election.

Baxter Estates Mayor Nora Haagenson, East Hills Mayor Michael Koblenz, Flower Hill Mayor Brian Herrington and Port Washington North Mayor Robert Weitzner were among the mayors who endorsed Curran for re-election, according to her campaign.

Others were Bayville Mayor Robert De Natale, Brookville Mayor Dan Serota, Centre Island Mayor Lawrence Schmidlap, Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach, Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett, Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray, South Floral Park Mayor Geoff Prime and Hempstead Mayor Waylyn Hobbs Jr. Ekstrand, a Republican, thanked Curran for her efforts in revitalizing downtowns across the county, including Farmingdale’s.

“I was grateful for the County Executive’s support as Farmingdale spearheaded what now serves as a

blueprint for downtown revitalization through transit-oriented development,” he said. “That’s the kind of leader Nassau needs in this next chapter and that’s why I am proud to endorse her for county executive.”

Efforts to reach North Shore mayors for comment were unavailing.

Curran, a Democrat, is running for re-election in November against Republican Bruce Blakeman, a Town of Hempstead councilman.

Earlier this month, Curran gained the endorsements of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and two of Nassau County’s police unions, representing superior officers and detectives.

Schumer, who also endorsed Curran as his choice for county executive in 2017, touted her work in combating political corruption and creating a more transparent government after the previous administration under former County Executive Edward Mangano, a Republican.

“I’m proud to endorse Laura Curran for county executive because she has charted a new path forward for Nassau County,” Schumer said. “Laura has tackled the corruption and mismanagement of previous administrations, balanced the budget and

Officials from the Police Superior Officers Association and the Police Detectives Association touted Curran’s work over the past few years and cited labor agreements she helped facilitate with both unions since 2018.

Superior Officers Association President Ricky Frassetti said as county executive Curran tripled the size of the Police Department’s community affairs unit, reopened two precincts and quadrupled the problem-oriented police officers in each precinct.

“While the county executive and I might not always agree on everything, she always listens and is willing to work things out, ” Frassetti said. “Laura is committed to working to support initiatives that strengthen the relationships between law enforcement and the communities they serve.”

Detectives Association President John Wighaus praised Curran for not getting “caught up in winning and losing” and instead being an elected official who was around during good times and bad.

Lafazan says he will keep fighting opioids Nassau County legislator touts focus on local issues, producing legislation

BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y Joshua Lafazan said that if re-elected to the Nassau County Legislature, he is going to maintain his top priority of fighting the opioid epidemic.

“We are losing more people than we’ve lost in the entirety of the Vietnam War, every single year,” Lafazan said in an interview with Blank Slate Media.

To deal with the problem, he wrote “Timothy’s Law,” which established a 24hour hotline staffed exclusively by substance abuse counselors, and developed the “Nassau C.A.R.E.S.” app, which allowed residents to search for treatment centers based on ZIP code.

The efforts point to Lafazan, who became Nassau’s youngest ever legislator in 2017 at 23 years old, stressing local issues.

“In the bills that I’ve passed, they have all been local,” he said. “I’m a local lawmaker, and I think we all have to remember that.”

Lafazan, an independent from Syosset who caucuses with the Democrats, is running in the 18th District, which encompasses East Hills, Roslyn Heights, Greenvale, Glen Cove, Bayville, East Norwich, Glen Head, Old Westbury, Mill Neck, Locust Valley, Muttontown, Jericho, Syosset and Woodbury.

His is running against Paolo Pironi, a

Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan Republican.

Other issues important to Lafazan include helping the 5,000 Nassau County veterans that are homeless, soon to be homeless or housing insecure. To help, he put together the “Dignity for our Heroes” package which includes the exploration of building transitional housing for veterans in need at the Mitchell Field Complex Housing Service Center.

Lafazan stands with the Democrats

in the Legislature when they say whoever wins the next election needs to institute an independent commission for redistricting to prevent any partisan gerrymandering.

“Regardless of whichever party is in the majority come redistricting time, it should be a nonpartisan independent process, and that’s for the sake of our democracy,” Lafazan said.

When asked on what basis redistricting should be done, Lafazan said it should be up to the nonpartisan commission.

The legislator did say that any map that appears to be unfair could be vetoed

by Nassau Executive Laura Curran.

“I will cast my vote for an independent redistricting commission. I will not cast my vote for an unfair map,” Lafazan said.

Earlier this year, Lafazan sponsored a bill that would allow the county attorney to sue on behalf of police officers if they were harassed or injured because of the fact they are first responders. The law, drafted with language from the New York state penal code, would make it a hate crime to “harass, menace, assault or injure” first responders, where they could also be allowed to sue for damages and legal fees.

Curran expressed concern in a veto letter, saying “that the law would intimidate free citizens from engaging in peaceful demonstrations without fear of retaliation.” She also said there was “no consen-

sus from elected officials” that the legislation was necessary.

Lafazan said he trusted the guidance of Attorney General Letitia James’s office, which expressed concern over free speech implications of the bill, and he then withdrew support for it in its original form.

“What we understood as harassment was fear of legitimate injury or death,” Lafazan said. “We saw a violent string of assaults on officers in the past couple of years so we took language that was already in the penal code and applied it.”

In regard to the county, the legislator said he plans to vote for Curran’s proposed budget due to relief measures that have been implemented and the fact that Nassau County can afford to cut taxes.

“Nassau will be able to be in a solvent, strong fiscal position in the years to come,” he said.

Lafazan said he believes his focus on his district foreshadows his performance if re-elected in November. He said as a county legislator it is important for him to maintain a priority on what is relevant to his constituents as opposed to national narratives.

“Local government is where the majority of your life is affected, and the local government is where things are supposed to get done,” Lafazan said. “I’m a local lawmaker.”

O’Connell touts experience as clerk Vies for re-election against Justin Brown, who wants to educate public about office’s role

BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Nassau County Clerk Maureen O’Connell touted her experience in her position while Justin Brown, her opponent in the race for her job, said he wants to better inform the public about the role that the clerk’s office serves.

An East Williston resident, O’Connell served as a trustee and deputy mayor of the village from 1991 to 1998 before being elected to the state Assembly. She was the first woman elected by the 17th District, and served on the Assembly’s Judiciary and Insurance and Ethics committees.

After being elected as county clerk in 2005, O’Connell said, she oversaw the digitization of millions of documents ranging from property deeds to veterans’ discharge papers. As Nassau County and the rest of the world try to regain normalcy after the coronavirus pandemic, O’Connell stressed the importance of having an experienced candidate leading the clerk’s office.

“Experience matters in the county clerk’s office,” O’Connell said in an interview with Blank Slate Media. “Without the legal experience and the technological knowledge of the operation, I think that whoever came into this office without that knowledge would be severely handcuffed.”

O’Connell, a Republican, began her career as a registered nurse at North Shore University Hospital and has a bachelor’s degree in health care administration from St. Joseph’s College.

Brown, a Democrat from Baldwin, also has experience in the health care sector. A hospital administrator with Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Brown received his master’s degree in health administration from Hofstra University.

Brown is also the president of the Nassau County Board of Visitors, where he advocates for inmate rights, and serves on the executive board for Hofstra’s Master of Healthcare Administration Alumni program. Constantly talking to others and creating connections, Brown said, one of his main goals, if elected, would be to share the role of the clerk’s office with community stakeholders.

“Being a public advocate and advocating for other individuals … and working in the clerk’s office would be another way of serving the residents,” Brown said in an interview with Blank Slate Media. “One thing I know is that many people throughout Nassau County do not know what the county clerk’s office is. One thing that has not been done within the county clerk’s office is community engagement.”

Brown said it is vital that the clerk’s office reaches out to individuals, in the form of seminars or programs, to relay what the office does within the county. Along with keeping track of property records, serving as the county’s notary system, and being Nassau’s ultimate keeper of documents, O’Connell said, she also serves as the clerk for the state Supreme Courts.

OUR VIEWS

Throwing support behind democracy

W

e normally wait for the final two weeks before Election Day to make our endorsements, but we are breaking with that tradition this year to announce our support this week not for a particular candidate but for an idea – democracy.

By that we mean a system in which each citizen’s vote counts equally and the outcome of a free and fair election should be recognized, respected and, if need be, defended.The question of whether a candidate believes in free and fair elections can easily be determined by the answer to a single question: Did Joe Biden win the presidency in a free and fair election?

That answer has already been confirmed by state election officials across the country and in more than 60 court cases presided over by judges appointed by every president since George Herbert Walker Bush.

If a candidate is unwilling to answer that question with a yes, he or she lacks a sufficient ability to comprehend facts or is unwilling to fulfill his or her oath of office. You know, the part about supporting the Constitution of the United States.

There may be many things that go into a voter’s decision on who to support, but an inability or unwillingness to support the Constitution should disqualify a candidate for any office – town council, County Legislature, county executive and, especially, district attorney.The connection between Election Day and whether each Nassau County citizen’s vote will count equally

is slightly more complicated but still very clear.

As of Election Day, the answer is now based on how legislative districts were drawn in 2014 following the 2010 census.

Republican legislators used their 10-9 advantage at the time to vote along party lines to create 12 legislative districts with more registered Republicans than Democrats. Even though Democrats held a 20,832 advantage in registered voters, 344,078 to 323,696. The redistricting plan was signed into law by then County Executive Edward Mangano, a Republican.

This more or less ensured minority rule for the next decade and that Republican voters would count more than Democratic voters.

Democrats in Congress are now seeking to bar this kind of gerrymandering by putting the power to change districts into the hands of nonpartisan groups rather than state legislatures.

Many state legislatures, including New York’s, have moved to nonpartisan commissions.

But Republican-controlled legislatures have instead begun using technology to weaponize the redistricting process as part of a campaign to suppress the vote and, in some cases, subvert the vote. All based on the Big Lie that the election was stolen from President Donald Trump.In Texas, a proposed Republican reworking of House districts would reduce the state’s 12 competitive districts to one.

This has created a problem for New York Democrats: Follow the nonpartisan commission and

perhaps lose the House majority or use a loophole to gerrymander the House districts in a way that would eliminate five Republican house districts.

Politics vs. principle. Place your bets now.

Unfortunately, the likely outcome – gerrymandering New York’s House districts – would undermine efforts to make redistricting nonpartisan by supporting the argument that everyone does it. That still shouldn’t deter Nassau County voters from doing the right thing.

In Nassau County, the map created by Republicans has given them control of the Legislature for 10 years with only the election of Josh Lafazan, an independent who caucuses with Democrats, reducing the GOP’s 12-7 advantage to 11-8.

During this time, the number of registered Democrats in Nassau County has risen to 434,327, 40 percent of the electorate,

while the number of registered Republican voters has basically stayed the same at 335,771, or 31 percent. That now gives Democrats nearly 100,000 more registered voters. Most of the rest of the electorate lists no party affiliation.

The latest census figures also show that 42 percent of the county’s population is composed of minorities while only two legislators – 11 percent – are members of minorities.

More than a year ago, Nassau Democratic legislators proposed the creation of a redistricting commission to determine legislative boundaries after the completion of the 2020 census.

Democrats said the proposal was intended to create a fair and representative distribution of legislators. Nassau Republicans declined to comment then. And now Legislature Minority Leader Kevan Abraham recently said in a recent Blank Slate Media town hall

on redistricting he has yet to get a response from Republican Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello.

If the Democrats win a legislative majority, Abrahams said he will go ahead with his nonpartisan redistricting plan and expects it would consider geographic continuity, the Democratic advantage in party registration and minority representation as part of its goals.

But we have yet to hear what the Republicans intend to do. This raises several important questions for Republicans running for the County Legislature.

With Democrats holding a nearly 100,000 advantage in registered voters will that be reflected in the new districts? Will the districts be made up of recognizable communities – unlike the current map in which legislators stretch from the Suffolk border to Roslyn in the middle? What about minority representation in an increasingly diverse county?

KREMER’S CORNER

Dems need to give Kathy Hochul a chance

T

here are certain types of public events that I avoid, as I can’t relate to them. I do not watch professional wrestling or mixed martial arts.

Occasionally, I come across an invite to attend a demolition derby. The derby is a non-racing sport that usually involves five or more drivers who compete by deliberately ramming their vehicles into one another.

The derby has a lot in common with the various New York Democratic Party officeholders who are making plans to unseat newly sworn Governor Kathy Hochul.

At this very moment, there are at least three Democrats making plans to run for governor next year.

The three are Attorney General Letitia James, New York City Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and current New York City Mayor Bill De Blasio.

Each of them is planning to travel around the state to find out if there is any public sup-

port for their candidacy even though all of them have already decided that they intend to run.

Of the three, the most likely front-runner will be the Attorney General.

Ms. James has become a well-known figure because of her involvement in the report that led to the resignation for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

The report gained national attention, due in part to the vivid description by many women of their interactions with the former governor.

She is also pursuing the Trump organization in an ongoing civil investigation that could lead to a criminal referral. She will face criticism over the fact that she has toppled a sitting governor and now wants to run for that position. If she becomes a candidate, she will be very formidable, assuming she can raise the money for the contest.

Jumaane Williams is the darling of the progressive movement and has run once for the lt. governor nomination

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

and lost. His statewide numbers were impressive but he is incapable of raising the kind of money needed in a statewide primary.

He has a political history as having been a City Council member and Public Advocate, but to date has no accomplishments to claim should he decide to run. He is currently running for re-election as public advocate, partially based on his claim that he will “not seek

higher office.” Most political reporters believe his candidacy is an ego trip.

The most astonishing development is the possible candidacy of Mayor Bill De Blasio. He is finishing up his final term in office with one of the lowest popularity levels in the city’s history. The city is facing public claims of high crime, dirty streets, inability to deal with the homeless and a host of other issues and the idea of a De Blasio candidacy is mindboggling.

On a personal note, I know the mayor and have contributed to his previous races for city council and public advocate. If you are looking for a friend to have a cup of coffee with, he is the best possible companion.

There is one person that is not being mentioned in the derby for governor and that is Andrew Cuomo. The former governor has an estimated $18 million in his treasury and is said to be itching to run.

His rationale for running

may be that the state is in a disastrous condition and he is still the only person capable of saving it. If there are multiple candidates in a party primary, he could have a chance to sneak through. Over the next month, the Assembly Judiciary Committee will be delivering its report on the former governor’s actions. That report could undermine his chances.

While the possible candidates are out seeking support, Gov. Kathy Hochul has been raising large amounts of money and is doing the job of governor quite well.

She has taken on the job of getting more New Yorkers vaccinated and is traveling around the state at a record speed. She has made numerous new appointments of people with good credentials.

Her successes and the support of the State Democratic Chair Jay Jacobs should help but it will not deter the challengers from creating a demolition derby.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

My sordid history with time, not on my side I just did something strange yesterday. I put a watch back on my wrist.

It was a very odd feeling, after a year and a half without it.

For almost two years, I neither knew nor cared what time it was. All that mattered was whether it was light or dark out.

In the midst of the stultifying confinement of the pandemic, it felt like a little bit of freedom.

I didn’t even know where my watch had gotten to—until last week.

I have always had a love-hate relationship with the concept of time. Mostly hate.

Maybe it stemmed from being the child of two parents who were insanely fixated on being, not just on time for everything, but early. I remember my parents arguing whether half an hour before a dinner party was too early to show up.

“What’s the harm in being early?” my father wanted to know “No harm if you don’t mind that we’ll never be invited back again,” my mom replied. “People like to at least be dressed, with their hair dry, before the door bell rings.”

So, of course, I — the child of two early birds — was born a night owl. When I finally met the man who would become my husband, we were the only person in the other one’s life who didn’t nag them.

Our best man says he won a bet on how late my groom and I would be to our own wedding (45 minutes). So what? You can’t start a wedding without the bride and groom.

When we bought a house, my husband’s friends said they couldn’t get us a housewarming gift because they couldn’t find a lawnmower with headlights. No problem; we got a lawn service instead. (This is Lawn Guy Land, after all.)

Then began the usual grind of catching trains and getting to work. Through it all the watch on my wrist was a faithful companion.

That all changed when the first baby arrived. His brand-new skin was so tender that, with one sudden swerve in my arms, he had scratched himself on my watchband. Of course, his baby skin also healed without a trace, but the verdict was clear: The

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side watch had to go.

I didn’t miss it.

Sure, getting out of the house took most of the day, but if the sun was setting by then, so much the worse for the sun. Besides: except for well-baby check-ups,

time didn’t matter. We were on Eastern Baby Time.

And when the dust eventually settled into some kind of routine, it turned out — unbelievably — that our baby was a night owl, too.

Of course, we registered for the afternoon session of nursery school. Which meant that the rubber didn’t really hit the road until—kindergarten.

Every morning there was going to be a school bus that all of his friends would be on. We had to make that bus at a little after 8 in the morning.

To top it all off, that was the year the school district decided to shift all its school opening times a quarter of an hour earlier.

“How dare they? It’s an outrage!” commiserated my fellow moms. “How are you ever going

to manage, Judy?”

But I wasn’t worried. I figured it would be like the trips I used to take to Europe and back.

Once you’ve flown four or five time zones away, what’s another 15 minutes?

The only thing was I had to put my watch back on my wrist.

Which is where it stayed for the next 20 years—until the pandemic hit and time itself came to a stop.

Now, the watch is back — back from getting a new battery and back on my wrist. It catches in my longer, pandemic-grown hair and gets wet when I wash the dishes. It’s very old school — it’s completely analog and does nothing but point out the time with both hands.

But so far it’s still ticking, and so am I.

THE BACK ROAD

Got empathy? You are really needed now

W

hatever happened to one for all and all for one?

Looking out for one another during the pandemic necessitates full participation in preventive measures. Yet that is not what is happening in large swaths of America where a toxic amalgam of fear and misinformation prevails.

It is difficult to address another’s fear without empathy, without understanding the basis and depth of their fear. Is it reality-based or fueled by conspiracy theories?

For a number of Black people, the 40-year-long Tuskegee Study to examine the natural history of untreated syphilis has contributed to their justified suspicion. The research, initiated in 1932 by the U.S. government, was conducted without informed consent. After penicillin was found to be the most effective treatment, it was withheld from infected test subjects.

If you know that your descendants were deceived by government scientists, why agree to take a new vaccination endorsed by government scientists? It would take a leap of faith and trust in government authorities, given

that the legacy of Tuskegee is already baked into the cake.

There are individuals who are scared about the vaccine’s potential impact on fertility and children’s well-being. Such fears do not come out of nowhere. For example, in November 1961 thalidomide was taken off the market after it led to the deaths of approximately 2,000 children and birth defects in more than 10,000, most of whom lived in West Germany. Its original use was for the treatment of nausea in pregnant women.

Many moms and dads continue to believe that the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine is a risk factor for children to develop autism, despite the many well-designed studies that found no link between the two. Vaccine mandates will not titrate terror, only empathy and understanding have a fighting chance.

Today, rigorous protocols are required for all new medications before full approval by the Food and Drug Administration, providing that the benefit of the medication outweighs the risks for its purported use. However, when an approved vaccine is mandated to guard against contagion and one’s

ANDREW MALEKOFF The Back Road

employment, schooling or ability to travel are threatened, the issue of one’s autonomy is compromised and refusal to comply requires significant sacrifice.

Fear is heightened by misinformation. Confusion is worsened when the facts about natural immunity following infection are either concealed or not made clear to us. There is much to sort out and when the sorting is aggravated by anxiety, clarity becomes near impossible to achieve.

Collectively, government officials have done a poor job of communicating effectively with consistent coordinated messaging.

And, as we know, social media

exacerbates misunderstanding, stokes fear and further fragments us, deepening the fissures in the body politic.

As someone who is immunecompromised as the result of a recent stem cell transplant, I trust my doctor’s guidance about taking the vaccine. But Tuskegee is not sewn into my psyche and my children are grown. A no-brainer decision for me is not so simple for all of my fellow Americans. Railing against so-called anti-vaxxers is much easier than trying to understand where they are coming from. Not all are “political.”

Increasingly, the term “tribal” is used to represent the incremental erosion of national unity. Disparate groups are fueled by fearinducing misinformation. While there have always been tribes, historically during times of major national crises, divisive boundaries dissolve and collective empathy and resolve ramp up, transforming us into one American community, standing shoulder-toshoulder through the storm.

GoFundMe campaigns demonstrate that when our neighbors are hurting, local politics take a back seat to empathy and altruism. In such moments we are re-

minded that the “unity gene” still exists. Yet with respect to finding our way through the pandemic, that gene remains dormant for far too many.

What is it that allows us to get behind one ailing child in our neighborhood, yet escapes us from unifying to curtail the contagious path of a virus that has left more than 700,000 dead and millions more grieving?

Could it be that we live in a political ecosystem that is terminally ill, so polluted with misinformation and failing empathy that humankind has become an endangered species? If this is too painful to face, we can always buy more toilet paper and bottled water.

In her examination of con artists and their victims, psychologist Anna Konnikova concluded that “there’s nothing a con artist likes better that exploiting the sense of unease we feel when it appears that the world as we know it is about to change.”

Our world is most certainly changing and the con artists appear to have gained the upper hand.

Only empathy will keep the despots at bay.

Extinction of plants and animals is forever

T

his week the US Fish and Wildlife Service recommended that 23 species be removed from endangered status and reclassified as extinct. The extinctions include 11 birds, eight freshwater mussels, two fish, a bat and a plant.

A third of the listed species, eight species of birds and the one plant, Phyllostegia glabra var. lanaiensis, a flowering plant in the mint family, were endemic to Hawaii.+ Extinction was caused by habitat destruction and introduced invasive animals and insects. Rats, pigs and feral cats are among the introduced species that prey on native animals or destroy habitat.

The Hawaiian Islands had no mosquitos, but they are now

widely spread and carry avian diseases to which the isolated island bird populations have no immunity. Guam, another island overwhelmed with invasives, lost the Bridled white-eye bird and the Little Mariana fruit bat.

On the continental US, the Bachman’s warbler and Ivorybilled woodpecker made the list along with eight species of freshwater mussels and two small freshwater fish. Both birds, one a tiny warbler and the other a huge woodpecker whose size gave it the nickname “Lord God Bird,” relied on swampy forests of the southeast for breeding.

Extinction due to the destruction of habitat is not a new concept. I own my grandmother’s bird book, published in the 1920s, and it clearly states the Ivory-bills are endangered due to loss of habitat from logging.

In 2004 the Ivory-billed burst back into the news when a sighting was reported in a swamp in Arkansas. Another sighting soon after triggered a swarm of birders and scientists to look for the bird.

JENNIFER WILSON-PINES Earth Matters

Weeks and then years of searching, recording devices, and photo traps failed to reveal another glimpse. The mussels and fish have likely gone extinct due to dam building and reservoirs, changing their habitat from rivers to lakes.

Since the Endangered Species Act was adopted in 1973, 54 species have recovered, while another 48 have improved enough to move from endangered to threatened. 11 listed species have been declared extinct. This

recommendation would triple that group to 34.

One of the issues facing the rescue of endangered species is the glacial pace with which the Service lists species, making them eligible for recovery funding. Several species on the current list went extinct while waiting to be listed.

Some of them were probably already extinct or had populations so reduced as to be unsustainable when the Endangered Species Act was adopted, but one of the Hawaiian birds was found as recently as 2004.

Another issue is that Congress only budgets about 4% of what service estimates it would take to fully protect listed species. A quarter of listed species receive as little as $10,000 annually towards recovery.

There are two bills currently in Congress that would increase protection and funding. The Extinction Prevention Act (H.R. 3396) would provide $5 million a year to fund conservation work for the most threatened species.

The Extinction Crisis Emergency Act would direct President Biden to declare global wildlife extinction a national emergency.

The legislation would require the entire federal government to act to halt the loss of animals and plants in the US and around the world.This is a global issue.

In 2019, the UN released a report authored by 150 scientists around the globe, stating that a million species of plants and animals were in danger of extinction. Worldwide, a minimum of 500 known species of animals have gone extinct in the last 100 years due to human activity.

The report concluded that alteration of land by agriculture was a massive contributing factor with about 75% of land and 66% of ocean areas impacted. Agricultural use covers more than 33% of the world’s land surface and uses 75% of freshwater resources.

Agriculture also accounts for roughly 25% of total human emissions of greenhouse gasses.

VIEW POINT

Recognizing Native Americans on Columbus Day

E

ach year Columbus Day reminds us that everyone who isn’t an indigenous American is an immigrant or a descendant from one.

This year President Joe Biden became the first to officially proclaim Indigenous Peoples’ Day, coinciding with the celebration of Columbus Day, declaring, “For generations, federal policies systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures. Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society. We also recommit to supporting a new, brighter future of promise and equity for tribal nations — a future grounded in tribal sovereignty and respect for the human rights of Indigenous people in the Americas and around the world.”

And even in his proclamation of Columbus Day celebrating the pride Italian Americans have in the

explorer and the “lasting contributions to our nation,” including as “educators, health care workers, scientists, first responders, military service members, and public servants, among so many other vital roles,” he acknowledged “the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on tribal nations and indigenous communities.”

Biden, ever the cheerleader for America despite brutal evidence we are hardly “exceptional” or even good and not just merely entitled, declared, “It is a measure of our greatness as a nation that we do not seek to bury these shameful episodes of our past — that we face them honestly, we bring them to the light, and we do all we can to address them. For Native Americans, Western exploration ushered in a wave of devastation: violence perpetrated against Native communities, displacement and theft of tribal homelands, the introduction and spread of disease, and more.

On this day, we recognize this pain-

KAREN RUBIN View Point

ful past and recommit ourselves to investing in Native communities, upholding our solemn and sacred commitments to tribal sovereignty, and pursuing a brighter future centered on dignity, respect, justice, and opportunity for all people.”

Significantly, Biden is working to correct both injustices done to indigenous peoples and to immigrants.

On Friday, when he became the first president to proclaim In-

digenous Peoples’ Day, he signed proclamations restoring Bears Ears and Grand-Staircase Escalante to their size before Trump decimated them, opening the lands to rapacious pillage by extraction industries.

These places are sacred to indigenous peoples and hold important archaeological sites, and Biden demonstrated respect for their culture and heritage. It is significant that Biden appointed the first Native American to a cabinet position.

Indeed, Secretary Deb Haaland became the first Native American to lead the Interior Department, the agency which has always regulated and oppressed indigenous people.

Biden is also working to correct the injustice of a dysfunctional immigration system that has resulted in 11.4 million undocumented immigrants (who Trump and his xenophobic ilk brand “illegal aliens”) and calls finally for rational comprehensive immigration reform.

Significantly, codifying De-

ferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (DACA) would address one-fourth of the undocumented immigrant problem, providing legal status for as many as 3.6 million people, brought here as children, who have grown up in the United States and only know the U.S. as their home.

But in July, Federal Judge Andrew Hanen in Southern Texas ordered the Biden administration to immediately stop granting new applications under DACA, declaring former President Obama’s 2012 executive order was “created in violation of the law and whose existence violates the law.” Biden vowed to appeal the decision, but pushed Congress to finally codify legalization for Dreamers with a path to citizenship and comprehensive immigration reform.

As for the tired argument of “amnesty” for illegal behavior – former President Reagan gave amnesty to to 2.7 million undocumented immigrants.

OUR TOWN

Why is perfect love so elusive to us?

T

here are an astounding number of ways humans look for love and approval.

Let’s start with the usual method, which is to get married.

The romance of the first two years are what most would call love but certainly this affect wanes with a growing familiarity as those cute little quirks become jaw-clenching annoyances. But do not assume the marriage bed is the only way we seek out love.

A listing of the objects which we hope will deliver love are many. You may hope that love will be gained with the purchase of a $20,000 Prada luxury handbag.

Or maybe it’s that $15,000 Rolex you‘ve been dreaming about. How about a $250,000 bright yellow Lamborghini? That must certainly deliver some love, don’t you think?

OK, if that doesn’t deliver, how about a week’s stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel in one of those awesome looking bungalows that have been graced by the likes of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Paul McCartney? Granted the bill may be about $21,000, but what the heck.

If you’re the athletic type, how about practicing eight hours a day, seven days a week for about 10 years and then getting onto the PGA Tour? You just may win a trophy and embrace that uncanny feeling of love, mixed with fame as

the cameras flash and the photographers ask you to “kiss the trophy again.” If that doesn’t transform your soul from darkness to light, then what on earth will?

Well, you could always take another trip to Paris and concentrate more carefully on the Eiffel Tower while slowly munching down on a French éclair from Laduree. If it’s straight money you like, well, put down $250,000 on either red or black and watch the roulette wheel spin and spin and spin. Best of luck.

The great psychoanalyst Christopher Bollas called all this nothing more than seeking out sacred transformational objects to magically act like a second coming with the hope of a sudden change into a new and improved version of your former self. People travel to wonderful places, go to see art in museums, go to Carnegie Hall to hear Hebert Von Karajan conduct Beethoven’s Ninth.

And the more compulsive this drive is to find transformational moments, the more it reflects the basic fault from your childhood.

The fault found in the relationship between infant and parent.

As Bollas points out, gamblers are addicted to an unconscious conviction that the mother (or father) will never come and this nicely explains why gamblers keep on gambling until they lose.

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

Much like Sir Galahad and Sir Lancelot, many humans are blindly and compulsively searching for the holy grail, the magical cup which will provide wonderful plentiful nourishment and heal the self of all past pain and sorrow.

Everyone wants kudos, recognition, applause, approval, admiration and love. This is what makes the world go round and is a most potent source of motivation. It is therefore an ironic tragedy that everyone wants love and is therefore reluctant to give it to anyone else.

So we wind up in a world which awaits love from others, but it turns out it’s a world which is unwilling to give any out.

Samuel Beckett wrote “Waiting for Godot” back in the mid20th century. Like a true mystic genius, he was extremely prescient and understood that the world had

arrived at a lonely, desolate place, waiting for some grand love that never shows up. Instead what we get is the rough beast at the gates.

The solution for all those seekers of perfect love is to comes to terms with reality. The reality is that idealized love exists only in books and movies that lasts for 90 minutes and have happy endings.

Reality is a more quaint, average, gray and disappointing affair. My father would always tell me, “Tommy, you can only eat one meal at a time and only sleep in one bed.”

John Biffar is a filmmaker I know who runs Dreamtime Entertainment. When I was in post-graduate school, I was reading Freud and told John that Freud remarked “life is a tough affair and the best one can hope for is some form of mild depression.” Ever since then, every time I speak to John, the first thing he says is “Tommy, the best one can hope for is some form of mild depression.”

We both get a laugh out of that line. And laugh we should because to laugh means one has seen the disappointments that life serves up and despite this we can laugh about it.Many film critics say the “Tokyo Story” by Yasujiro Ozu is the best film ever made. This black-and-white masterpiece was produced in 1953 and the last five minutes contains the most truthful, saddest and most beautiful dia-

logue ever recorded. It may have helped that Ozu used Japan’s two finest actors, the luminescent Setsuko Hara and Chishu Ryu, as her father-in-law.

The film concludes with Setsuko Hara first talking with her sister-in-law who remarks that life is disappointing to which Hara responds, “Yes it is.” Hara then has a conversation with her father-in-law about the loss of her husband in the war and says, “Days pass and nothing happens and I feel so alone. In my heart I seem to be waiting for something.” The tone of this scene is enormously heart-wrenching and is a true revelation of how to accept human limitations.

Life has so much to offer, but the one thing it does not and cannot offer is perfection or perfectly transformative experiences. Who would think that this simple fact would be such a hard pill to swallow?

Why will people go such distances to gaze upon beauty like this in Yosemite Park?

Appreciating firefighters on Fire Safety Week

O

ur firefighters deserve the utmost recognition for their selfless dedication to protecting our homes and loved ones from harm. While so many of us seek to avoid danger at all costs, these heroic men and women stand up and run into the fire.

When the bell rings, these courageous community members don’t hesitate and are ready at a moment’s notice to answer the call. We are forever indebted to these brave citizens for all the sacrifices they have made in the pursuit of a safer community.

Many have missed out on Thanksgiving dinners with their families, soccer games with

their kids, birthday parties and so many other holidays and traditions we cherish and enjoy.

Yet, their commitment never wavers. For that, we are forever grateful and cannot thank them enough.

Last month, our state and nation commemorated the 20th anniversary of 9/11. We honored the firefighters who on that day selflessly rushed into the Twin Towers to make sure as many people as possible came out of those buildings. Many paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Many survivors now face detrimental health complications.

It’s critical that we do our part to help our heroes in their time

EDWARD RA

State Assemblyman of need, as they did for us.

I’m especially proud of a bill that passed the Senate and Assembly to expand cancer

coverage for volunteer firefighters. But we can do more. This coming legislative session, we should renew state support of the Victim’s Compensation Fund, which provides our heroes present at 9/11 sites to receive monetary compensation.

We should also be advocating for the expansion of their health coverage. It’s the very least we can do for their unparalleled dedication. In times of fear and uncertainty, our heroes showcase the finest qualities of New Yorkers: strength, selflessness and service.

As we recognize this week as Fire Safety Week, I encourage you all to take the time to

make sure you and your family has taken the steps to be prepared. Our firefighters will always answer the call to help, but it’s important we take proactive steps to do what we can to avoid fires from starting.Here are a few tips: • Have a fire escape plan in place.• Make sure your smoke alarm is working properly. After 10 years, smoke alarms need to be replaced. A chirping noise coming from your alarms means it needs to be replaced.• Make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms meet the needs of all your family members, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

Talking about candidate DeSena as person

W

e are writing today to publicly recognize the extraordinary love, compassion, and friendship our family and our family Foundation, The Actus Foundation, has received from candidate for supervisor, Jennifer DeSena.

This is not an endorsement for office, as our Foundation holds a principle of remaining apolitical. It is, however, our desire to make the strongest possible endorsement of Mrs. DeSena as an extraordinarily empathetic and loving neighbor, mother, and wife.

Our foundation was formed after the death of our daughter in an incident tangentially related to the American Opioid Crisis. This crisis killed a record number of American youth last year ( ;150,000, or as we often say it, the equivalent of a Boeing 747 crashing each day, 7 days per week 365 times per year, with no end in sight).

Very early in the process, Mrs. DeSena reached out to us as Executive Director of Manhasset Coalition Against Substance Abuse to offer us a platform to speak out and help others.

We told her that Amanda did not suffer the disease of Substance Use Disorder, and thus we didn’t know how to help her cause. We were, however, very much interested in speaking out on the New Paradigm of Death which arrived in the U.S. in 2013 and asked if she would be interested in helping us with that message.

That was the beginning of a 4-year personal relationship where Jennifer has frequently told Amanda’s story out of love for us and a desperate attempt to stop it from happening to others.

She has found many opportunities for us to help, like the recent Project HELP Long Island’s online presentation entitled What Every Parent

Needs to Know: Marijuana and Fentanyl. More importantly, however, she never forgets us, or our beloved Amanda.

Why is she so special in this way? The word is empathy, and she has it in great abundance.

Her family is the archetype of achievement and prosperity within this wonder we call American Exceptionalism.

They are the kind we should all aspire to emulate.

Yet, for all their success academically and socially, Jen nev-

er loses sight of the very real possibility of one of her wonderful young sons suffering the momentary lapse of reason necessary to become a victim of The Crisis just like Amanda.

We do this advocacy fulltime and meet all kinds of people, all over this great nation.

Mrs. DeSena’s ability to internalize this Crisis to her family, a crisis which she could so easily defer as something which happens to other kids prospering less than her boys, tells you what you need to know about her.

That level of empathy and realism, combined with her management skills and sharp intellect, will make her the kind of public servant a town would be proud to have as their own, and is well-advised to elect.

Moreover, her constant activism is yet another dimension of one of her other great personal qualities, gratitude. She is always looking to give back

to the community, the country and the God who has blessed her with so much.

Recently, we met her at Mass at St. Mary’s, where she came to represent the St. Vincent de Paul society, perhaps the greatest organization caring for the poor in the world.

Bravo!

As an apolitical Foundation, we limit our endorsement of Mrs. Jennifer DeSena to her personal attributes, but these attributes are a rare commodity and a chance we implore the voters of North Hempstead not to pass up on. It will be with great enthusiasm that our family votes for Jennifer DeSena for Town Supervisor on November 2. We hope a great many of our neighbors will do the same.

The Gray Family, Michael, Nancy, Declan, and Amanda (2018†) The Actus Foundation, Manhasset

Support Fishkind for council’s 5th district

I

first became acquainted with Peter Fishkind over social media this past spring, soon after he left a successful career as a lawyer to launch his campaign for the Town of North Hempstead Council District Five. I

was immediately impressed by his kindness and accessibility. Since then he has taken time out of his busy schedule to offer support and encouragement in my professional struggles, and his genuineness shines through.

As a lifelong resident of the Town of North Hempstead, first in Roslyn Heights and now in Great Neck Plaza, Peter is passionate about ensuring that its communities continue to thrive. He is always ready and willing to lis-

ten to new ideas. He is very civically active in all aspects of the town and serves as an inspiration to younger people to pursue a life in public service. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy for North Hempstead Town Council Dis-

trict Five. I urge all residents of the district to vote for Peter on Tuesday, Nov. 2.

Viscardi Center to host Virtual PitchFest

BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y Albertson’s Viscardi Center will host its second annual National Center for Disability Entrepreneurship Virtual PitchFest next month to help people with disabilities support their own businesses.

The event allows entrepreneurs with disabilities to share their business ideas with a panel of five judges for a chance to receive mentorship packages and grants worth up to $75,000.

The competition maintains the center’s mission to “empower innovative selfstarters to achieve self-employment success,” according to a news release.

Last year Susan Picerno of Virginia got a package of branding materials worth $10,000 for winning the Audience Choice Award in the inaugural PtichFest for her company, Little Tiger Productions, which aimed to increase media portrayals of people with disabilities.

Picerno, a retired federal employee, had five minutes to pitch her idea to judges alongside other hopeful founders.

John D. Kemp, president and CEO of the Viscardi Center since 2011, said the event on Nov. 19 will enable leaders to step into their desired industries.

Peter Seideman, Parker chairman, dies

BY B R A N D ON D U FF Y Peter Seideman, chairman of the board of trustees at Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation in New Hyde Park, died on Sept. 30. He was 77 years old.

Born in Manhattan, Siedeman was a Parker trustee since 1999 and became chairman of the board in 2015.

The institute’s board said he oversaw development and dramatic growth and played an important role in Parker’s community-based health care programs, bringing new and cutting-edge solutions to the region’s growing aging population.

The Parker Jewish Institute was founded in 1907 as a shelter for 25 impoverished men and women. It has since evolved into a nationally renowned nonprofit for the care and rehabilitation of

adults, offering a number of community health care programs. Parker also acts as an academic campus for health care professionals.

Parker Jewish Insitute’s president and CEO, Michael Rosenblut, thanked Siedeman for his decades of service.

“Peter was a champion for the Parker organization, for the residents, and for the Board,” Rosenblut said. “May his memory be a blessing.”

Seideman is survived by his wife, Barbara, to whom he had been married for over 50 years, a daughter, Wendy, and three grandchildren, Cecelia, Mory and Mia, according to his obituary. He had another daughter, Abby, who died in 2012.

A funeral service for Seideman was held on Oct. 3 at Knollwood Park Cemetery in Ridgewood, Queens.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING

GOLD COAST FILM FEST KICKS OFF IN PERSON

BY R OB E RT PELAEZ The Gold Coast International Film Festival kicked off on Monday in Great Neck with more than 30 people in attendance to view the first of a handful of films to be shown throughout the week.

For the first time in two years, the film festival had an in-person audience to view films. As the coronavirus pandemic continued, the audience adhered to health and safety measures while viewing “Neighbours,” the story of a 6-year-old boy set in 1980s Syria near the Turkish border.

Gold Coast founder and Executive Director Regina Gil thanked everyone who came to view the movie and encouraged others to come and take advantage of the screenings and programs.

“We encourage you to think about coming out to see the films we have so carefully curated for you,” Gil said in an email. “They are so good and I know we on the film team are happy to talk to you if you have any questions about the films or the way we are handling the seating.”

The festival was scheduled to kick off on Sunday with people viewing family-friendly short films and partaking in some of the arts center’s activities, including glass painting, ceramics, yoga workshops and painting exhibits. Due to inclement weather, the events were postponed with updates to come.

Festival Director Caroline

Sorokoff said the remainder of the week will feature awardwinning films such as “Luzzu,” “Neighbours” and “Becoming Cousteau,” along with Q&A sessions with screenings of “Chasing Childhood,” “Plan A” and “Walk With Frank.”

A handful of movies will be played at Manhasset Cinemas and Eisenhower Park aside from virtual screenings and programs.

While in-person attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination and wear masks, Sorokoff said, the center is excited to provide another year of quality films and entertainment to the community.

“This year, because the world is constantly changing, we created a festival with options for everyone,” Sorokoff said in an interview. “We have a bunch of virtual films and programs offered throughout the festival week, with in-person screenings in Manhasset as well.”

The center’s Making Memories with Music program will also be held virtually. The program is designed for people living with memory loss and their care partners.

Also included in the programming is the Young Filmmakers Program where the next generation of filmmakers will be supported by showcasing short films created by K-12 filmmakers around the world.

The festival will run until Sunday and film schedules, guides, ticket purchasing and additional information can be found at: https://goldcoastarts. org/film10-2-3/.

Dance, theater at County Museum of Art “Morning, Afternoon, Evening” is a site-specific dance/theater performance piece, based on an original poem, written by the director/choreographer’s daughter, which depicts a journey following a river over the course of a day.

After a very successful premiere at the Philly Fringe Festival and a beautiful program at Cedarmere, the historical estate of William C Bryant, this rich work is coming to theNassau County Museum of Art. This site-specific outdoor program amidst the sculpture and the harbor on the grounds of the Nassau County Mu-

seum of Art on Saturday, Oct. 16 3 p.m.

Raindate Oct 24 3 p.m.

Co-produced by the Nassau County Museum of Art Nassau County Museum of Artat 1 Museum Drive Roslyn Harbor.

This theatrical interpretation utilizes one actor, in monologue, and eight dancers who offer a physical interpretation of her thoughts as well as serving as her companions(s).

The poem depicts water originating in caves, erupting into a spring, and becoming waterfalls (in “Morning”), passing through mountains, forests, and plains (in “Afternoon”); finally, the river

comes to the mouth of the ocean in “Evening.”

The times we are living in only heighten the depth of this symbolic poem. We are excited and honored to put it into a theatre dance work at this point in history. Themes and repertory from the dance of Isadora Duncan contribute to the timelessness of the work.

Additionally, the piece helps to demonstrate the beauty and power of the precious and tentative natural world.

This multidisciplinary artwork encompasses theater, dance, poetry and music. It illustrates the cyclic nature of so many aspects of our world and has particular relevance today, with its theme of ending in order to begin anew.

The work is accessible, open to many levels of interpretation, in which each viewer will derive personal meanings from the work.

Dance Visions NY is a celebrated New York metropolitan area dance company that brings Isadora Duncan’s artistic legacy into the present through the performance of Isadora Duncan repertory as passed on to Beth Jucovy through her 2nd-generation Duncan mentors, as

well as through original works, influenced by the aesthetic, that take on a different form in the modern world. The company’s works are often inter-disciplinary and address both timeless and current themes.

Tzena Nicole is an international actress who has appeared in film productions in the US, Germany and France as well as many classical and modern stage productions in NYC. She is also a monologist. Storytelling, in all its forms, is her life-blood.

L.I. Children’s Museum exhibit extended Visitors to Long Island Children’s Museum this summer were stretching, flexing and moving after months of extended screen time. The summer exhibit, “Slip & Slide Sock Skating” proved so popular that the exhibit has been extended through October 24.

This provides additional opportunities for children to get in some fun exercise and move muscles that haven’t had as much activity over the previous school year.

Just toss off your shoes and get ready to spin and glide around the “ice.” All children (and adults) need are their socks to slide into a summer of fun! Forgot your socks?

Don’t worry, just pull on a pair of disposable booties over you shoes and you’re ready to

take to the “ice.” Slip & Slide Sock Skating is free with Museum admission “We wanted to bring in an exhibit that could help address the loss of physical activity for a lot of us over the past year,” says Aimee Terzulli, LICM Director of Education. “Moving our bodies is a natural way to learn known as kinesthetic learning,” she explains. “It’s an important tool to develop fine and gross motor skills.”

Instead of ice, the LICM indoor rink is made from a high-tech synthetic polymer surface that lets kids slide along the slippery surface without blades, runny noses or cold hands. The atmosphere on the 800-sq-foot rink is enhanced by color light displays and

popular music.

Major exhibit support for Slip & Slide Sock Skating has been provided by Rechler Philanthropy and Engel Burman. Additional exhibit support has been provided byNYCB Live, B&B Signature Company, E&Y, Herrick, Feinstein LLP, People’s United Bank, Difazio Power & Electric LLC, Farrell Fritz, Friedman LLP, Lazer, Aptheker, Rosella & Yedid, P.C, The LiRo Group, Local 94 and Makena Capital Management Museum Fall Hours: Wednesday-Sunday from 10 am.-3 p.m. Museum admission: $14 for adults and children over 1 year old, $13 seniors, free to museum members and children under 1 year old. Additional fees

for theater and special programs may apply. For additional information, contact 516224-5800.

Crohn’s disease & ulcerative colitis affect millions of Americans.

It’s Time to Take Steps!

Gold Coast Take Steps for Crohn’s & Colitis Sunday, October 24, 2021 North Hempstead Beach Park Take Steps is the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation’s national walk and the largest event dedicated to finding cures for digestive diseases.

Millions of American adults and children suffer from Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, life-changing digestive diseases. Symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and weight loss. Many patients require hospitalization and surgery.

hen it comes to choices for Nassau public office, we’re generally given the equivalent of a WalMart store brand. I’ve lived here since 1962. I can’t think of one Nassau County politician who has distinguished himself above and beyond the mediocre.

But we have a big problem in this country, and that is the control Mr. Trump still has on his party. And that means we do not dare elect a Republican to any office dealing with law enforcement, for the simple reason that the Republican Party itself is a lawless organization.

There’s been enough evidence to prove that the January 6th coup attempt had inside help, including plans to destroy electoral college votes, videotape “confessions” from members of Congress, or perhaps kill the vice president.

But the recently discovered news regarding the use of our Justice Department made subject to Mr. Trump’s diktat should be enough to frighten anyone, including the Babbitt-like “cloth coat” Republicans out there. This is treason, plain and simple.

So why care about local Party affiliation when the national head of the Party is a mentally unbalanced narcissist? Simply put, all history demands it, because of the nature of a party structure.

As we repeatedly see, loyalty, not competence, is more highly prized in politics.

Which is one reason why these organizations rarely improve, and the worst of the lot remain in one position or another for decades.

Perhaps the best assessment of this dynamic was by Sir Ian Kershaw, who was knighted for his historical work on WWII Germany. He cracked the code as to how Hitler was able to achieve and consolidate his power in his famous “Working towards the Fuhrer” maxim. It is presented here: “Everyone who has the opportunity to observe it knows that the Führer can hard-

You can make a difference. When you walk, you’ll help raise funds for cures!

ly dictate from above everything which he intends to realize sooner or later. On the contrary, up till now, everyone with a post in the new Germany has worked best when he has, so to speak, worked towards the Führer. Very often and in many spheres, it has been the case—in previous years as well—that individuals have simply waited for orders and instructions. Unfortunately, the same will be true in the future; but in fact, it is the duty of everybody to try to work towards the Fuhrer along the lines he would wish. Anyone who makes mistakes will notice it soon enough. But anyone who really works towards the Führer along his lines and towards his goal will certainly both now and in the future, one day have the finest reward in the form of the sudden legal confirmation of his work.”

And so you see the nature of how party members simply “fall in” without even thinking about it. Trump doesn’t personally order voting restrictions in individual states. He doesn’t order shrieking antivaccine zombies at school board meetings.

He doesn’t personally organize caravans of horn honking pick-up trucks with obscenity-laden flags.

People “work towards” this state as if in a trance, and indeed they are because as Kershaw noted, this is a predictable feature of the charismatic dictator.

Kershaw argued that in Nazi Germany officials of both the German state and Party bureaucracy usually took the initiative in initiating policy to meet Hitler’s perceived wishes, or alternatively attempted to turn into policy Hitler’s often loosely and indistinctly phrased wishes.

As another historian noted, “What happened in Germany after 1933 was the imposition of Hitler’s charismatic authority on top of the legal authority that had existed prior to 1933, leading to a gradual breakdown of any system of ordered authority in Germany. Kershaw argues that by 1938 the German state had been reduced to a hopeless, polycratic shambles of rival agencies all competing with each other to win Hitler’s favour, which by that time had become the only source of political legitimacy.”

Sound familiar?

And so, for the good of the nation, the GOP must be evicted from public office, right down to town councilman. Because if GOP state attorneys general refuse to certify an election, things could get dangerous. And if an AG can get away with that, a District Attorney can wreak even more disruption.

We do not dare elect a Republican district attorney on any terms. You have your warning.

Make certain Todd Kaminsky wins office. Even if for no other reason but a bulwark against treason and fascism.

Dr. Hynes disappoints on COVID in schools

A

s was reported in the story headlined “Port schools to offer more details on COVID” that begins on the front page of the Oct. 8 issue of The Port Washington Times, our school board and our school superintendent, Dr. Michael Hynes, spent a great deal of time at the Sept. 21 school board meeting discussing when and how our school district should notify parents that it’s been determined that some children in their classes have caught the COVID-19 virus, or variants of it.

Why our children are now attending “new normal” schools, where they are exposed to the airborne COVID-19 virus and variants of it, I won’t discuss in this

message, but schools are primarily open now so that our teachers and administrators can continue to collect their generous salary pay checks and fringe benefits. The Times story tells us that “since the start of the school year, there have been 46 positive cases (of the virus) in the district among students and five teachers and three staff members have also tested positive.”

When discussing a “contact notification system” for parents, Dr. Hynes had the following to say: “There’s a lot of things to consider and I think the general consensus was….let’s at least look at what we have in front of us.” That sounds like an excuse to me for doing nothing at the moment, since there are already so many things for our

school board and administrators to consider and in addition to that, our school board and administrators have yet to even “look at what they have in front of them”. But, worse than that, Dr. Hynes went on to say: “One thing that I think is really important is doing our homework as far as what other districts are doing as well”. So, Dr. Hynes is saying, let’s wait and see what other school districts are doing about reporting COVID and then, maybe, we’ll follow them. How very disappointing to say that we may not have the brain power on the Port Washington school district payroll and school board to determine what is best for the students of our district and their parents .

Dr. Hynes and two other doctors who closely assist him, Dr. Christopher Shields, our assistant superintendent for general administration, and Dr. David Meoli, our assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction and assessment, together, cost our school district somewhere between $900,000 and $1 million a year in salaries and benefits, at least.

For that much money, I think that we deserve leadership that can solve problems for our district rather than suggest that we wait for other districts to solve problems for us.

Farewell, Aunt Bella’s, a restaurant favorite

A

nother local neighborhood institution has closed its doors. Here is the link to the announcement. https://auntbellasln.wixsite. com/auntbellasitalian.

Aunt Bella’s located on Marathon Parkway two blocks south of Northern Boulevard in Little Neck opened in 1977 and celebrated its 44th anniversary in February 2021. I have been a regular since 1983, my wife Wendy since 1994.

Upon my first visit in 1983, I was sold on the menu. Chicken Cutlet Parmigiana, Garlic Bread, Salad and Pasta became my standard. Years later, I would switch to Sauteed Chicken with Peppers and Sun-dried Tomatoes. In recent times, they would make me Salmon Cutlet Parmigiana even though it was not on the menu.

Wendy always seems to enjoy ordering the Shrimp Scampi over pasta.

During my bachelor days on cold winter

nights, I would phone in for a delivery “care package.” Back then my appetite could handle an order of Baked Ziti as an appetizer followed by Chicken Cutlet Parm with a side salad, garlic bread and pasta. I was so grateful for the delivery person that I would always be sure to leave him with a good tip.

Even with many loyal customers growing older, moving away or sadly succumbing to old age, prior to COVID-19 Bella’s held on.

New generations of customers and neighbors would replace those lost.

They quickly learned about the great food at reasonable prices that were accompanied by the personal attention of the staff.

Once hooked, they became regulars.

Many loyal customers who may have moved would still try and come back. It was not out of the ordinary to see neighbors recognizing neighbors while dining.

The new owner Andy was on the verge of closing last Thanksgiving. He decided to give it a try. No more lunch hours as there were few customers to be found. The new hours were 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., closed on Mondays.

We looked forward to spending New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day and other special holidays at Aunt Bella’s. Even when there is a special limited menu (it is the only way for any restaurant to keep up with the high turnover rate of customers) for New Year’s Eve or Valentine’s Day, it is well worth the extra dollar or two for your meal.

Why travel into Manhattan for some fancy upscale restaurant where you are a total stranger? You can obtain a much better meal for far less.

Eating at Aunt Bella’s was like dining with family. On cold winter nights, hot summer days or when it is my night to cook we walked a few blocks over to

Aunt Bella’s. Over time, we have gotten to know many of the staff on a first-name basis. Frequently, the portions have been so generous that we have had a doggy bag for the next day.

It is a double loss with the closing of Aunt Bella’s along with Stop & Shop on Oct. 14. Our neighborhood will never be the same As part of our annual yearly Christmas/Hanukkah celebration, we always dropped off a box of cookies from Joe’s Sicilian Bayside Bakery to our friends at Aunt Bella’s, who treated us like family all year long. It was our way of saying thank you.

Wendy and I enjoyed our final meal there last Sunday night. We will always cherish our memories of the good times we had breaking bread at Aunt Bella’s.

Pusateri deserves your vote for town council

I

would like to offer my strongest possible recommendation in support of Christine Pusateri for Town Council in North Hempstead’s Third District.

Christine has been a friend of nearly 20 years going back to when our children attended the same Herricks schools.

We were colleagues as parents and officers on our elementary, middle school and high school PTAs where I came to respect her outlook and willingness to question policies and proposed programs to ensure they were fit for our children.

She has also been a valued voice to me in my own involvement with the

Herricks Board of Education. My family also knows her through our church and sharing our kids’ experiences in religious education. Her positions and appraisals of how things should work were always spot on. Over the years we’ve had many discussions about what goes on in our schools that convince me she will be a caring, active, responsible and responsive town council person.

As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, she has been a vocal advocate for all children with special needs and I’m sure that concern will continue at the town level in recognizing the needs of all her constituents, young, old and

in-between. Christine has a career as a speech pathologist, helping countless children through her profession.

She has offered a strong platform in her campaign, including pursuing even greater fiscal responsibility in a town whose Democratic Party officials already have a strong record and high bond rating. Of course, she also wants to expand programs for senior citizens and adults with disabilities. She wants to increase the town’s current services and provide a new perspective on how to better them.

Chris also stands for more open accessibility to town leaders, services and

information and supports her fellow Democratic candidates in seeking to improve all services. Her election would bring a Democratic Party presence to the Third District for the first time in six terms, so her election would be a new face and perspective in the district but one that would certainly act in the interests of every voter and constituent.

I urge my fellow voters to please take a look at the candidates for this position and give a fair consideration to Christine Pusateri for Town Council.

Critical Race Theory roils school board debate

A

merican parents are waking up to the poisonous propaganda that the left is trying to instill in the children of America from kindergarten through the 12th grade and through the college years. If they can get their claws into pre-K tots, then the indoctrination can start even earlier. Hence, free pre-school is packed into one of the horrendously expensive two bills that will help steer our country towards Marxism if they are passed.

Pitting races against each other, with whites the oppressors and blacks the victims, rich against poor and using anti-white “equity” to level the playing field in their twisted minds.

Parents all over America have been attending school board meetings and voicing their antipathy for these racist Critical Race Theory agendas that are being foisted on their children and demanding that this be stopped. School boards are not accustomed to such interference in their leftist spheres of

power and the National School Board Association has appealed to the Biden administration to investigate threats that have emerged in the debate over CRT and requested that “such review examine appropriate enforceable actions against these crimes and acts of violence under the Gun Free School Zones Act and the Patriot Act in regards to domestic terrorism” among other laws and statutes. (quote from NSBA letter to Joe Biden) Some of the crimes mentioned in the letter include threatening letters, threats on social media and cyberbullying. Generalizations talking about actual acts of violence are mentioned but not one physical attack on any person is described. They complain that “school board meetings have been disrupted” as they should be when parents do not want their children brainwashed by radical leftists and a race-baiting curriculum. Freedom of speech is under attack again by the Marxist left.”

On Friday, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a

law making California the first state requiring high school students to pass an “Ethnic Studies” course if they want to graduate.

Charter schools will also be affected . Private schools are exempt. California is the first state in the USA to make this Marxist ideology mandatory.

California is a state where sick ideologies often originate and then spread across the country. Newsom just signed a law stating that retail stores with more than 500 employees must have gender neutral aisles in their stores by 2024 in addition to boys’ and girls’ toy aisles.

Who does this man think he is? Look at his state and weep. Drug addicts lying out in the open on sidewalks, needles strewn around the streets, homeless everywhere.

Democratic cities rotting from within and we now have the same scenario happening on the sidewalks of NY and this is the kind of attention that Newsom pays to his state.

Do you want your country back or do

you want to cede it to a bunch of depraved individuals who are out to destroy it? Get involved, go to school board meetings, peacefully, but stand up for your rights. If my sons were still in school today, you can bet that my face would be one that was detested by my school board.

Make sure you vote in 2022 and if you love your country, Democrats, you will switch parties. Name one thing that Joe Biden has touched that hasn’t been destroyed. Our border is open and they lie about it, Afghanistan was a travesty and as of today there are still American school children hiding out that lying Joe left behind, inflation is on the rise and more people died of Covid-19 this year than in 2020. I could go on and on. What does it take to wake up?

To be woke is a joke but no one is laughing.

The extinction of animals, plants is forever Continued from Page 16 Other threats are from commercial overharvesting, logging, hunting and fishing of plants and animals from the wild, followed by climate change, pollution, and invasive species.

The report links biodiversity loss and climate change. Five percent of all species will be threatened with extinction by 2 °C of warming above pre-industrial levels, a

tipping point that could be reached in the next few decades. Global loss is estimated at 16% of all species if the average temperature exceeds 4.3 °C. This would inflict massive damage to worldwide ecosystems and lead to increased poverty, hunger, and deaths.

The naysayers who spout comments like “There have always been extinctions,” fail to understand the urgency and the sci-

ence.

Yes, there have been massive extinction events in the past, but due to natural catastrophes like asteroid impacts, volcanos, and floods. (And the dinosaurs are still with us, we now call them birds) Virtually all the extinctions in the last 500 years can be directly traced to human activity, and the pace is accelerating at an alarming rate.

This month talks will begin on a new

global biodiversity agreement. One proposal, known as 30×30, seeks to protect at least 30 % of the earth’s land and oceans by 2030. Estimated costs are billions of dollars.

One hundred years ago we knew why the Ivory-billed woodpecker was endangered, but did nothing to stop that course. If we continue to destroy the natural systems of our planet, one of the next species added to the list will be Homo sapiens.

VIEW POINT

Recognizing Native Americans on Columbus Day Continued from Page 17 As for the argument that granting legal status to these people will only encourage more illegal immigration (as the U.S. faces a crisis overflow of people escaping poverty, disease, climate disasters, violence), we have better tools to address this – from drones to surveil to monitoring ankle bracelets.

What is necessary – and always was – is investing in more immigration judges and social workers rather than a Dark Ages border wall.

Another reminder: 30 percent of the undocumented immigrants came in through airports from Europe and Asia, not the southern border, and overstay tourist or student visas.

Biden is getting it from all sides over the southern border crisis, where tens of thousands of Haitians have flowed up not from Haiti, but from South America where they have lived for some years after the last disasters in their island country, the poorest

in the Americas. Biden is being criticized for sending the majority back to Haiti, based on the fact they haven’t lived there recently, the island just had another earthquake and is in political chaos after the assassination of their president.

What liberals aren’t processing, though, is that the Biden administration has kept several thousand, but can’t broadcast it unless it be taken as an invitation. And despite the fact that thousands are being immediately deported, Trump is lying that Biden has released 17,000 who are free to roam. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

But here’s the thing: While Republicans are salivating at having the southern border as a weapon against Biden, in this as in everything else, they not only have no solution, but obstruct the solution that Biden is proposing.

They actually don’t want to solve anything; they only want to be able to attack Biden and the Democrats for failures to accomplish anything – and it works every time.

And here’s the irony: Republicans are bristling at the “help wanted” signs that have restricted employers’ ability to increase business (and profits), while howling that in this job market, people aren’t willing to work for sub-living wages and conditions, with no health benefits.

Immigration has in the past and would again solve that problem, but Republicans prefer to go the route of forcing women to bear babies for cheap labor as if they were merely brood mares.

Biden (who laid out his immigration policy in detail during the 2020 campaign, https://joebiden.com/immigration/) has another idea and is making an economic argument for legalizing the status of “unauthorized” immigrants: “Immigrants have made innumerable contributions to American business and society. However, current law confines millions of them to a life in the shadows, without the rights to be fully economically engaged or

have access to foundational social protections. Such treatment inflicts harms on unauthorized immigrants themselves and their families—many of which include U.S. citizens and non-citizen legal residents—as well as to the broader economy.

“Though some argue that increased take-up of social programs would generate a substantial fiscal cost to the government, the productivity of the newly legalized would likely increase, which would benefit all in the United States by expanding economic output. Further, the ensuing increase in wages and compliance with tax requirements would increase their contributions to public sector finances, and their children would benefit as well. Allowing currently unauthorized workers to engage fully in the labor force would not only benefit the immigrants and their families, but society as a whole.” (https://www. whitehouse.gov/cea/blog/2021/09/17/theeconomic-benefits-of-extending-permanentlegal-status-to-unauthorized-immigrants/)

Silverberg, son named to super lawyer list Stephen J. Silverberg has been selected to the New York Metro Super Lawyers list as one of the top New York metro area lawyers for 2021.

Each year, no more than five percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor. Super Lawyers has named Silverberg to its select list of attorneys for fifteen consecutive years, from 2007 to 2021.

the prestigious National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and was awarded the credential of NAELA Fellow, the highest honor bestowed by NAELA to “attorneys… whose careers concentrate on elder law, and who have distinguished themselves both by making exceptional contributions to meeting the needs of older Americans and by demonstrating a commitment to the Academy.”

Mr. Silverberg is a past president of the New York State chapter of NAELA and was a founding member of the chapter.

He holds the designation of a Certified Elder Law Attorney, awarded by the National Elder

Law Foundation to fewer than 525 CELAs throughout the United States. Mr. Silverberg is rated AV Preeminent (5.0 out of 5.0), the highest possible designation from Martindale-Hubbell.

Scott B. Silverberg has been named to the 2021 New York Metro Rising Stars list for the second year in a row. To qualify, New York Metro Rising Stars must be 40 years old or younger or have been practicing for less than 10 years.

Each year, no more than 2.5 percent of the lawyers in the state are selected by the research team at Super Lawyers to receive this honor.

tional Board of Directors of the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys and a member of the Board of Directors and Treasurer of the New York State Chapter of

NAELA. Scott is Vice-Chair of the Practice Management Committee of the Elder Law and Special Needs Section Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association. He is also a member of the Nassau County Bar Association.

Parker Jewish Institute hosts drive-in gala Parker Jewish Institute hosted its 2021 Drive-In Gala on Thursday, Sept. 30. A oneof-a-kind outdoor experience on Parker’s expansive campus, the Drive-In Gala featured live music from LA Blacksmith Band, food, beverage and fun. WCBS 880’s Marla Diamond served as the evening’s Master of Ceremonies.

Honoring Parker’s Health Care Heroes, the gala and all of its proceeds support the mission of enhancing programs and services for the Institute’s patients and residents, as well as support the 8,000 people who access Parker’s continuum of services each year.

Throughout the pandemic, Parker’s dedicated team members not only selflessly cared for patients but also comforted families from afar during unprecedented circumstances.

What’s more, they sacrificed

time away from their families to care for others, all for the greater good.

In addition to delivering quality and compassionate care, Parker continued to innovate amid the pandemic. This includes launching a COVID-19 testing site and a COVID-19 vaccination site for the community.

Parker launched a Family Call Center to help the Institute’s families stay connected.

And it implemented recreational activities such as socially distanced baking as well as artsand-crafts projects, concerts and more that engaged residents and kept them safe.

“Through every twist in the road and every new challenge faced, our health-care heroes were brave, comforting and strong,” Gerry Landsberg, vice chairman and past chair of the Institute’s Board of Trustees said.

“We remain at the forefront at Parker in our mission, our commitment to provide compassion and dedicated care,” Parker’s President and CEO Michael N. Rosenblut said. “It’s the wonderful team that’s here with us this evening, the team on duty in the building this evening – they’re the ones together

that make it happen each and every day that deliver quality care to all of our residents and patients.”

“When COVID-19 shocked our world, Parker’s response was quick to protect our residents and staff. And Parker’s staff showed true courage on the frontlines of the pandemic,”

Michael N. Rosenblut is Parker Jewish Institute’s President and CEO

said Dr. Igor Israel, Parker’s Chief Medical Officer. “Whatever needs our community presents, Parker Jewish Institute stands ready to serve and innovate.”

Rosenblut began the evening requesting a moment of silence in memory of Parker’s Chairman of the Board of Trustees Peter Seideman, who had died this week.

“Peter was a champion for the Parker organization for the residents, and for the Board,” Mr. Rosenblut said. “May his memory be a blessing.”

Parker also thanked community members who provided support through donations via the Institute’s meal train, personal protection equipment and more. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. The Drive-In Gala may be viewed online on Parker’s official Gala Website.

Town to hold remote zoning board hearings The Town of North Hempstead has announced that beginning Wednesday, Oct. 20, the Town’s Board of Zoning Appeals hearings will be held remotely via video conference to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Town officials are reminding residents that the Town

Board room will not be open to the public and there will be no in-person access to the meeting.

Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation in the beginning of September to permit virtual public meetings to reduce the spread of the Delta variant.

Any member of the pub-

lic who wishes to participate in an appeal hearing may do so by following the Zoom link posted on the Town’s website.

Those who have questions regarding the hearing or wish to submit written comments or questions regarding a particular item on the calendar may contact the board at: bza-

dept@northhempsteadny.gov.

Written comments must be received 60 minutes prior to the meeting.

The full list of cases for this calendar may be obtained at www.northhempsteadny. gov.

This hearing will be transcribed, and a copy of the

transcript will be made available on the Town website.

This hearing will also be livestreamed. Live streaming can be accessed at: www.northhempsteadny.gov/townboardlive.

Residents are encouraged to call 516-869-6311 or 311 with any questions.

Do homework before moving abroad Have you been contemplating purchasing a vacation home or pied-á-terre in a warm and sunny climate within or even outside the U.S.? Maybe something offshore and exotic in Costa Rica, Belize, Panama, Nicaragua, San Salvador, Guatemala, the new hotspots in the Southern Hemisphere?

Maybe Mexico, too?

The dollar has been and is still very strong at the current time in most of these and other localities. According to an article written by Kate Dore for CNBC, personal finance, on May 18, nearly one in four American expatriates say they are very serious or possibly contemplating to drop their U.S. citizenship, Greenback Expat Tax Services found in a survey of 3,100 American expats in 125 countries from April 15, 2021 through May 10.” The State Department counts 9 million expatriates living outside U.S. The Greenback survey said more than four in 10 ex-pats would renounce their citizenship due to the burden of filing U.S. taxes.

Many would thoroughly enjoy staying around or moving closer to their children and grandchildren, which from my current personal perspective and experience, there is nothing like it in that phase of your life to be around your entire family. It really completes the pie of life for all the enjoyment and fun that you have earned and yearned for.

Unfortunately, not everyone has that option and must make other plans. If you are going to consider moving out of the U.S. as many are considering or have done, you must research your possible destinations.

sions since this can become a permanent move. How far will your money go as many of us are living much longer than past generations?

Statista Research Dept. published an article on Jan. 20, 2021, noting that in 2016 there were 82,000 centenarians (100 years or older). It said that number will increase to 589,000 by 2060.

would certainly look into the new destination’s infrastructure and most importantly the quality of the water supply right now and what if any plans have they adopted and instituted to make improvements going into the future?

This will be a major component of living as well as a basic survival and staple of life.

Our water in the United States may not be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but relocating to another country can be even more perilous and fraught with potential life issues near term and long term. I can’t imagine that anyone would just move without gaining sufficient knowledge of the country and territory that they would be moving to. But then again, gaining as much information as possible to protect your living standards and finances is critical.

Finding an affordable country and location will also be of tremendous value.

As we are living longer, one wants to make sure that our money holds out and that our investments are such that we can continue to enjoy our

lives when relocating for a job or position and/or retirement.

Will you be earning enough to pay the rent and/or mortgage in another country? Will you be able to borrow as a U.S. citizen? Assuming you can even borrow any money in a foreign destination, which often is not possible.

What will the interest rates be as a foreign national or expatriate as they usually are much higher with a 30-40 percent down payment? You could borrow against your U.S. real estate or take a line of credit to alleviate trying to borrow in another offshore destination.

There is a very informative article in Investopedia.com from Jan. 1, 2021, by Jean Folger about “How to Finance Foreign Real Estate and if you are considering moving abroad, it’s an excellent source that will keep you on the straight and narrow.

What are the rules as an expatriate or foreign national with owning property? I have conversed in length with many expatriates from the U.S. and Canada and for the most part, they are incredibly happy with their new domiciles abroad and never have to pick up a snow shovel again. However, when they do get a visit from their family or go visit their children and grandchildren it’s a top 10 event.

Herricks Port’s Mullins retires after FBI raid completes 7 goals Continued from Page 2 For the 2021-22 school year, goals that were announced include a curriculum review in social studies. This will incorporate a committee designed to find the best practices through surveys and trends in the field, which will be presented to the Board of Education in the future.

Also included in the new goals were an enhancement of instructional technology plans. Each student will have a Google Chromebook.

Currently, all students in grades four to 12 have a Chromebook, Celano said. The next step is to incorporate grades two and three.

Celano said the other upcoming goals included revisions and enhancements to school guidelines and updates for renovations in the district, including the high school auditorium renovation project, which the board got an update on at the last meeting.

The superintendent made clear that despite the issues brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, the school district was able to accomplish much of what it set out to do last year.

“We’re very excited to continue to work hard for our students and community here in Herricks to really focus on the ideas of continuous improvement and getting to the next level,” he said.

Continued from Page 12 “Ed Mullins dishonored his uniform, his city and his union more times than I can count. It was just a matter of time before his endless hatred would catch up with him. That day has come.”

Also commenting on the federal probe was another official Mullins did not get along with.

“Ed Mullins, who famously called me a ‘first-class whore’ for daring to ask questions about the SBA, just got a first-class raid from the FBI,” U.S. Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-Bronx) tweeted.

The SBA manages a $264 million retirement fund and its 13,000 members make it the fifth-largest police union in the nation, according to the group’s website.

The union’s statement said, “Like all of us, Ed Mullins is entitled to the presumption of innocence, and we ask you to withhold judgment until all the facts have been established.”

The U.S. attorney’s office said that Ammar prescribed over 8,000 pills to John Doe 1 with the knowledge that he would be reselling them and that he prescribed over 11,000 pills to John Doe 2, even after the latter was admitted to a psychiatric clinic. John Doe 2 died in 2019 of a mix of oxycodone, methadone, which attorneys also claim Ammar pre-

scribed, and ketamine.

A biography in the fall 2008 issue of Elements Magazine said that Ammar, who graduated from SUNY Stony Brook’s School of Medicine at age 22, was the youngest graduate in SUNY medical school history at the time.

The magazine said he also completed research and served as chief resident at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City.

“Doctors are supposed to be among

the most trusted professionals in our society. This defendant, on the other hand, used his position to prey upon members of our community,” DEA Special Agentin-Charge Ray Donovan said in a statement. “By knowingly and intentionally writing prescriptions of addictive opioids that he knew would be resold, he violated not only his oath as a doctor, but the trust of his community.”

Efforts to reach officials or Ammar’s lawyer for comment were unavailing.

Many artifacts from Lindsay’s first vaccination shot were sent to the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, including her vaccination card, ID badge and hospital scrubs.

Earlier this month, Northwell, New York’s largest employer, fired 1,400 of its unvaccinated employees for not complying with the state’s mandate.

In a statement to Blank Slate Media, the health network said it regrets terminating employees under the circumstances but cited the importance of keeping its patients and staff members safe.

“Northwell regrets losing any employee under such circumstances, but as health care professionals and members of the largest health care provider in the state, we understand our unique responsibility to protect the health of our patients and each other,” the statement said. “We owe it to our staff, our patients and the communities we serve to be 100 percent vaccinated against COVID-19.”

Town proposes tentative budget Continued from Page 1 tures from the Solid Waste Management Authority.

In late September, the Town Board voted 7-0 to approve terminating the authority in order to consolidate costs and save taxpayers money. Without including the consolidation funds, the budget increases by $500,000 to $138.6 million.

“It’s our responsibility to be both cautious and sensible in our approach to

the 2022 budget, while also ensuring we keep taxes low for our residents,” Bosworth said during the meeting.

The coronavirus pandemic, she said, brought a variety of challenges and obstacles the town was forced to adapt to and overcome since March 2020, but she touted the work of her administration and other town officials for coming up with a budget that remains below the state’s tax cap.

“I’m so grateful to the entire North Hempstead team, especially our department heads, for their thorough and efficient work over the last year and a half,” Bosworth said. “The COVID-19 pandemic has placed many constraints on the Town of North Hempstead, both financially and operationally. My administration’s ability to continue to work effectively within the confines of such an unprecedented crisis has undoubtedly made a difference for

Viscardi Center hosting PitchFest Continued from Page 22 “The 2021 PitchFest will advance these goals by connecting aspiring founders with the opportunity to present to industry experts, secure funding and mentorships, and successfully launch their own businesses.”

The Viscardi Center has been a pio-

neer in disability leadership not only in Albertson but around the world.

Its original site was one of the first U.S. businesses to be staffed by people with disabilities when it was operating out of a garage in West Hempstead, helping disabled veterans become assembly and factory workers for several large

companies and organizations, including Grumman, GE, IBM and the Department of Defense.

Today, the school located in Viscardi Center enrolls more than 180 students with disabilities with nearly an 86 percent graduation and college acceptance rate.

GOPers make budget amendments Continued from Page 3 tion led by former County Executive Edward Mangano.

“County Executive Curran proposed a thoughtful, balanced budget that delivers significant tax relief to every resident hard-hit by the pandemic, not the same old political talking points based on made-up revenue projections that the

budget remains balanced without the expectation of further funds from the American Rescue Plan, despite Curran’s seeking them.

The budget also features an overall spending increase of $200 million from the $3.3 billion 2021 budget. The increase includes an additional $45 million allocated to public safety investments,

Majority and Ed Mangano used to drive our County’s finances into the ground,” Fricchione said in an email to Blank Slate Media.

County officials said the $128 million in surplus funds from the 2020 budget will be used to “grow depleted reserves” for whenever the county experiences the “next downturn.” Officials also said the

everybody.”

Despite the pandemic, the town was able to maintain its AAA bond rating from Moody’s Investors Service, the highest rating a municipality can obtain.

Bosworth, who announced her retirement from her role as supervisor earlier this year, said the tentative budget is still subject to change and the board welcomes comments from the public. The next scheduled budget hearing will be during the virtual Oct. 21 meeting.

Curran said.

Some of the expenditures Curran planned include costs to implement the Police Department’s body camera program, funding for future collective bargaining agreements and wage increases, two police classes and two corrections classes for newly sworn officers.

Curran said the proposal also calls for 70 new positions in the department. If approved, it would be the first time the department expanded the number of sworn officers in more than a decade.

O’Connell, Brown vie for county clerk Continued from Page 9 “Every lawsuit that is brought in the county of Nassau on a Supreme Court level is commenced here in the office of the county clerk,” she said. “So every time a lawyer starts an action or brings a motion for some kind of emergency relief, temporary restraining order, things of that nature, it is filed here in the office of the county clerk.”

O’Connell, who also received a Juris Doctor from St. John’s University School of

Law, practiced in civil litigation, elder law and health regulatory compliance. That experience, she said, provides her with a greater insight on how to interact with the attorneys that consistently use the clerk’s office.

Though the digitization of documents throughout the clerk’s office was a monumental step into the 21st century, O’Connell said, she also helped heighten the office’s online security so hackers would not be

able to access Nassau residents’ sensitive information. The pandemic, she said, caused some strain on the office’s employees not being able to access their documents from remote locations, but the safety of Nassau’s documents and records was and remains a top priority.

Acknowledging some of the technological work that has been conducted throughout the years, Brown said, modernizing the systems and getting rid of antiquated tech-

nology in the clerk’s office is also toward the top of his to-do list if he is elected.

“We need to modernize our systems because we have old, antiquated systems that are in place in the county clerk’s office,” Brown said. “They are not user-friendly, they take a lot of clicks to access certain documents and I want to put an in-house system in where we could collaborate with IT, not using taxpayers’ money, to establish a user-friendly service.”

OUR VIEWS

Throwing our support behind democracy Continued from Page 14 Nicolello has cited efforts to create minority representation in the current mess of a map. He does have a point given Nassau’s status as one of the most segregated counties in America – something in which past county legislatures had a hand.

And as Abrahams noted in the recent town hall, control of the County Legislature can determine where and when public projects such as roads and bridges are

built. Undoing that segregation should be a goal of the next Legislature in changing legislative district lines.

Given the advantage they received by gerrymandering districts in 2014, Nassau Republican legislators will likely win the most districts in the 2021 election. But they will not have the ability to create a map as one-sided as the one drawn in 2014 if Laura Curran, a Democrat, wins re-election.

The legislative map is approved as a

county law that requires the county executive’s signature. Curran would likely veto any map that looked like the map drawn in 2014 – especially with the large changes in party registration and demographics.

GOP county executive candidate Bruce Blakeman, who served as the county GOP’s liaison to Trump’s campaign, has yet to say what he would do if he wins and Republicans retain control in the County Legislature. But unless we

hear otherwise, we should expect more of the same.

Curran, Blakeman and all the candidates for the County Legislature should be asked whether they want a bipartisan commission to change legislative district lines. And if not, how they would redraw them.

Many factors should be considered in casting a vote. None is more important than creating districts that reflect Nassau’s electorate.

Northwell expert named an ‘emerging leader’ Shivani Rajput, an operations expert who coordinated Northwell Health’s distribution of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines across Long Island, has been named to Modern Healthcare’s Top 25 Emerging Leaders list.

Rajput, assistant vice president of corporate affairs at Northwell, managed the Long Island Distribution Vaccination Hub which served a region of more than 2.3 million people. Northwell administered over 600,000 vaccines at 100 unique fixed and pop-up sites, which led to the region tallying the highest vaccination rate in New York State.

The area’s at-risk population also registered the state’s highest vaccination rate, an important fact that highlight’s the health system’s longstanding commitment to equity of care.

“Shivani Rajput’s focus is always to ‘work the problem’ and she dedicated all of herself to that singular purpose,” said Michael Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health.

“It is not hyperbole to say that her setting an aggressive goal of a 70 percent vaccination rate by July 1 ultimately helped Northwell and the region overcome COVID-19 and achieve the highest overall vaccination rate in the state.”

The Modern Healthcare Emerging Leader award highlights individuals 40 years old and younger who took action within their organization to meet or overcome on-going

clinical, operational and financial challenges compounded by the pandemic.

“The rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine was the biggest logistical challenge the health care industry faced in modern times,” said Gene Tangney, senior vice president and chief business continuity and crisis management officer. “Ms. Rajput’s dedication to the health and wellness of the community combined with her relentless pursuit of innovative solutions was the right mixture of leadership qualities at the right time.”

Ms. Rajput coordinated a multi-disciplinary team, which included members from operations, finance, pharmacy, patient access, clinical operations and information technology – all while collaborating with the New York State Department of Health, Nassau/Suffolk Hospital Council, other entities and health systems. Her predictive modelling helped drive Northwell’s recruitment plan, timeline and location setup. She also created tools to monitor more than 500 staff deployments daily and coordinated which locations needed to be open to meet second dose requirements.

Ms. Rajput earned a bachelor of science degree in community health from Hofstra University and a master’s degree in healthcare administration from Cornell University.

Also killed was the Uber driver, Farhan Zahid, 32, of Bay Shore, who had been driving with the ride-hailing company for almost two years. Black-box data also recovered by state police showed he slowed his Toyota Prius to 27 mph from 38 mph four seconds before the crash, according to Quogue police.

Brianna Maglio, Kiess’ girlfriend, who was 24 years old at the time of the crash, is the sole survivor of the accident. As of early September, she remained hospitalized in critical condition. Information on her current condition was not available.

Over 1,500 people participated in a running challenge to raise money for her medical expenses.

At a news conference days after the crash, Quogue Chief of Police Christopher Isola said an officer spotted Mendez before the accident, but could not catch up to him. The witness described to police a similar chain of events.
