Penner discusses flaws Phillips honors in MTA plans in F.P. Siemens scholars Says third track, Belmont timelines not feasible BY R E B ECC A MELNITSKY

The Floral Park Civic South Side Association hosted a lengthy discussion of concerns over Long Island Rail Road projects on Thursday night, including increasing service to Belmont and the third track. Gov. Andrew Cuomo recently announced the LIRR will expand service at the Belmont station to accommodate a proposed arena complex for the New York Islanders. The MTA also plans to build a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville and eliminate seven street-level crossings. A $1.8 billion contract has been awarded for the construction. About 30 people attended the event at the Floral Park Recreation Center, which featured Larry Penner, a transportation historian and advocate who previously worked for 31 years for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration’s oﬃce in New York. Penner said that the proposed timelines for the projects are not feasible, and there is no space to run additional trains on LIRR tracks. The Belmont project is supposed to be ready in 2020 and the third track is supposed to be finished in 2022. “I’m very leery of people making promises, whether they’re elected oﬃcials or people in the transportation community,” he said. “For commitments I know based on my professional experience they can’t make.” He said that the current third track plan was evaluated under the State Environmental Quality Review Act, or SEQRA, but not the National Environmental Policy Act, or NEPA. This rendered the plan ineligible for federal funds. A third track plan in 2005 began the NEPA process but it was abandoned in 2008. “Regardless of whether

Six North Shore schools had Siemens semifinalists, but only students from Herricks and Great Neck South were in attendance. Phillips said scheduling conflicts with other schools were the reason some students could not attend. Four of the semifinalists were from Great Neck South.

Islanders consider return to Coliseum Long Island hockey team searches for place to play while Belmont arena is constructed BY R E B ECC A K L A R As the New York Islanders await their new arena at Belmont Park, the hockey team might be looking to return temporarily to the Nassau Coliseum, the place it abandoned for the Barclays Center.

The Islanders and Barclays can opt out of their 25-year agreement in January, a possibility! the Islanders’ owners, Scott Malkin and Jon Ledecky, are looking into, according to Newsday. The Belmont arena will not be ready until the 2021 season, leaving a gap for the team to choose a place to play. Ledecky and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman met at Nassau Coliseum

Jon Ledecky, co-owner of the New York Islanders, seen here at a December news conference announcing the team’s return to Nassau County, may be considering returning to Nassau Coliseum while the team awaits its new Belmont arena. earlier this month to discuss using the venue while the Belmont arena is being constructed. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran attended, as well, to meet

Ledecky and Bettman but did not participate in any discussions about using the Coliseum, according to Michael Martino, Curran’s communication director.

The Islanders played at the Coliseum for about 43 years before moving to Barclays in 2015. The Coliseum underwent a $165 million renovation and reopened in April, but Ledecky said it still was not suitable for the team to play in, according to Newsday. In December, when Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced the Islanders’ winning proposal to build at Belmont, Cuomo asked Bettman to reconsider allowing the team to play at the renovated Coliseum – reopening the discussion. Eﬀorts to reach the Islanders were unavailing. Ledecky said on WFAN’s “Boomer & Gio” show that the decision is up to the NHL. “This is in the hands of the National Hockey League, which has to make an assessment of any arena games will be played in,” Ledecky said. “I’m confident that something will be worked out, yes.” The Islanders,! partnered with Sterling Development and Oak View Group, plan to create an 18,000-seat arena, a multipurpose event center, a retail center and a hotel. In addition to the development at Belmont, Cuomo announced that the MTA will renovate the Belmont train station.

Local gun safety group forms in Nassau Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America holds first chapter meeting in the county BY R E B ECC A K L A R Five years ago, Caren Arnone said, she watched in stunned horror as the news broke about the 20 children and six adults shot and killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. “I could no longer do nothing,” said Arnone, a Port Washington resident. Arnone said she searched the Internet and that is when she found Shannon Watts’ Facebook post. Following the Sandy Hook shooting, Watts, a stay-at-home mother from Indiana, reached out to about 90 Facebook friends to start a common sense gun law movement that has since expanded to a nationwide organization with chapters in all 50 states. The group, Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, has a strong presence in Nassau County, according to Laura Burns, New York State communications lead, with members traveling to either the Suﬀolk County chapter or New York

Lafazan presses opioid campaign

Freshman legislator: Bipartisan support exists for comprehensive county response to epidemic BY LU K E TORRANCE Eight years ago Teri Kroll lost her son to heroin addiction. Kroll has spent the intervening years working for reform as a board member of Families in Support of Treatment. “At the time, you couldn’t find help, you didn’t know where to turn and nobody talked about addiction as a disease in public,” she said. “Eight years later, there’s been a big change.” Kroll was among those gathered on the steps of the Theodore! Roosevelt Legislative Building!Thursday when county Legislator Josh Lafazan (D-Syosset) announced his proposals to combat opioid addiction in Nassau County. “It is time that Nassau County became the battleground in the fight against addiction,” Lafazan said. The freshman legislator said there was bipartisan support for holding hearings throughout the county to solicit information from clinicians, law enforcement and residents battling addiction.

Nicollelo addresses opioid epidemic

County Legislature presiding officer says the issue is a concern for all at chamber dinner BY LU K E TORRANCE While the audience at a Mineola Chamber of Commerce dinner consisted of local officials and business owners, the topic they were most interested in was not taxes or infrastructure but the opioid crisis.

Several attendees asked about property tax assessments. Nicolello said the assessments should be done every three years or so, and the county would have to do them since the towns had no interest in handling it. He was also asked about a trolley that would run through Mineola! but said it was still being studied and was unlikely to happen. “It’s still more of a dream than anything else at this unused floors in the hospital point,” he said.

Home prices up slightly in Nassau BY LU K E TOR R A N C E The median price for Nassau County homes was $499,000 in December, up $10,000 from the month before and the same price as October, according to the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. The median price was also up from $469,000 in December of the previous year. Prices in Nassau have steadily increased over the past two years. In every month of 2017, median housing prices were up from a year earlier. The median price for pending sales was down from $515,000 in November to $489,000 in December, but nonetheless up from $480,000 a year before. The median price for pending sales also saw increases in every month in 2017 from the year before.

The reason for the increase in prices could be a slight decline in housing stock. Although the number of homes sold had a minor increase from November to December, that number was down to 1,027 in December from 1,124 a year before. That 8.6 percent decrease represented the largest drop of any month in 2017 compared with a year before. Pending sales also saw a drop. There were 854 pending sales in December, down from 875 a year ago and 1,009 in November. It was the lowest number of pending sales since January. The winter and early spring months tend to be the slowest part of the real estate year. During the past two years, January had the lowest number of pending sales while April had the lowest number of homes sold. Pending sales have peaked in May and June the last two years, while August has seen the most houses sold and highest median price. The median price for homes sold in Nassau continues to be much higher than in neighboring Suﬀolk County, where the median sale price for December was $365,000. But Suﬀolk had a stronger year-to-year improvement for prices and for the second straight December sold more houses, although the number of sales was likewise down from 2016.

his card, police said. Fernando and Sumira were arrested at the store, police said. Salin left the store before police arrived but was caught later outside the store, police said. Sumira had a switchblade on him when arrested, according to police. During the arraignments on Sunday at the Nassau County First District Court, Judge Andrew Engel adjourned the cases with conditional release to probation. The cases were set to be heard again on Wednesday.

Two new platforms will be built at the Stewart Manor Long Island Rail Road station in a construction project that began Tuesday. The platform installation will be done in four phases, with the first starting Tuesday and lasting until mid-March, according to a MTA news release. During the first phase of construction, the west end of Platform B, on the south side, up to the underpass will be closed. Passengers traveling eastbound will have to board the first four cars, and passengers traveling westbound will have to board the last four cars, according to the MTA. Throughout all phases crews will work on one half of the platform at a time, allowing passengers to get on and oﬀ the train in both directions during

construction, according to the MTA. Pedestrian traffic will be limited on the platform during construction. The project will not affect train service, and no traffic detours will be required, according to the MTA. The project will also add new platform shelters featuring artwork displays, LED lights throughout the station, new signs, security cameras, Wi-Fi accessibility and help points, according to the MTA. The platform installation complements a larger construction project at Stewart Manor station completed last summer, according to the MTA. Along with the platform renovation the station received a renovated waiting room and two bathrooms. The exterior of the building was also updated, as well as the underpass.

Platform construction at the Stewart Manor station will be begin on Tuesday.

Supreme Court denies Silver’s bid to avoid trial BY R E B ECC A KLAR Former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver will head to trial in April after the U.S. Supreme Court refused on Tuesday to hear his appeal to avoid retrial on corruption charges. In July, a three-judge panel in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that the Democrat’s 2015 conviction by a jury was invalid based on the Supreme Court’s ruling in former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s case. The McDonnell case raised the legal standard for criminal bribery, but now Silver is facing a retrial slated for April 16, according to Newsday. Silver was convicted by a jury of honest services fraud, extortion and money laundering for receiv-

Following the Second Circuit’s ruling, Joon H. Kim, then acting U.S. attorney for the South-

ern District of New York, vowed to retry Silver. “Although it will be delayed, we do not expect justice to be denied,” Kim had said in a statement. Silver’s lawyer told Newsday he was disappointed by the decision but is hopeful about the retrial.

said after the meeting. “And although this is already a strong library system – it’s actually one of the strongest on Long Island – I thought that I would have things to contribute with my experience.” Corcoran will now be tasked with overseeing a system with four libraries, including the Main Library and its three branches, serving more than 40,000 people with a budget of nearly $10 million. The reason for Giotsas’ firing remains unclear, as legal counsel has said the library could not comment on personnel matters. Previous directors in the last five years, interim and not, include Jane Marino, who resigned after a $20.8 million bond referendum was defeated, Laura Weir and Chris Johnson. Giotsas had been serving since Aug. 3, 2015, before Tracy Geiser took over as interim director in May 2017 after Giotsas’ termination. With the appointment of a new library director, Geiser will return to her position as assistant library director. Marianna Wohlgemuth, a member of the library’s director search committee, said that as a member of the public, she was looking for someone who could balance staﬀ and public needs. But with 15

members on the committee, there were many other perspectives that went into the decision, she said. “We each brought diﬀerent views to the table and it was quite a process, but [Trustee] Rebecca Miller kept us all in line,” Wohlgemuth said. “It was done fairly and equitably by all of us,” she added. “We all had input. It was a team.” Members of the director search committee included members of the Board of Trustees; staﬀ members Nick Camastro and Holly Coscetta; the youth services coordinator, Adam Hinz; the business manager, Steven Kashkin; and the Lakeville branch head,#Alana Mutum. There were also three nonvoting members of the public: Martin Adickman, a Russell Gardens trustee, Rebecca Gilliar, a civic activist in Great Neck, and Wohlgemuth, a North New Hyde Park civic activist. Robert Schaufeld, the president of the library board, said he believes that Corcoran is the “perfect match for the library” and looks forward to working with her to keep the Great Neck Library great. “I hope that we are able to finish all our existing projects and come up with new and innovative ideas to keep the Great Neck Library at the forefront of libraries on Long Island and across the country,” Schaufeld said. In unrelated business, library trustees accepted the resignation from the board of Francine Ferrante Krupski, who had served on the board since 2012. Schaufeld said she resigned because she will be “spending a significant amount of time in Florida” and would not easily be available. The Nominating Committee, which vets candidates for leadership positions with the library, also has a vacancy. Schaufeld said Samuel Gottlieb, who was recently elected to the Nominating Committee, “has not taken his seat yet” for “work-related” reasons and that the committee needs to fill that vacancy first. Once addressing that empty seat, Schaufeld said the Nominating Committee will work on nominating someone to fill Krupski’s trustee seat.

G.N. schools highlight online presence BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N The technology director for the Great Neck Public Schools highlighted progress made in boosting the district’s online presence and creating a “21st century classroom” at a board meeting Thursday night, through a combination of a website overhaul, social media and iPads. The school district’s website first went online on March 1, 1998, according to Marc Epstein, the technology director. And while it has undergone changes over the years, he said, it is now slated to get a major redesign for its 20th birthday. “We started with a blank page,” Epstein said. Among the factors considered in the redesign, which has been the responsibilities of webmasters and a special committee, were aesthetics, simpler navigation, a clean look and consistency. The schools also sought to create a website that would change appropriately on other digital devices, be ADA compliant and showcase the GNPS brand. A presentation at the meeting showed a photo carousel in the middle of the page, with a slider of upcoming events for the next five days beneath and quick access links above. It also features a live social media feed, an option to translate the website into the most spoken languages, and the ability to place emergency announcements atop the page in bold red. The respective schools websites would use the same template, Epstein said, but they would be able to change some of the colors.

Marc Epstein, the technology director for the Great Neck Public Schools, made note of the school’s 1:1 iPad initiative and boosting the school’s online presence. In an interview following the presentation, Epstein said the schools are currently migrating the content of their websites over to new ones that will hopefully go live sometime in the spring. “I want it to launch this school year,” Epstein said. The Great Neck Public Schools first created a Facebook page on March 29, 2017, which currently has nearly 1,700 followers, Epstein said. Since then, the Adult Learning Center, Community Education and South Middle School have also embarked on making

pages, he said, with some schools now discussing creating their own. Additionally, Epstein also highlighted the schools 1:1 iPad initiative, where every student has access to an iPad for class activities like collaborating online, researching, doing homework and using educational apps. “We blend technology with traditional materials in our instruction,” Epstein said, noting the program is in its seventh year. Epstein framed it as a means of eliminating a “digital divide,” fulfilling a school mission of developing an innovative curriculum and a way to be environmentally conservative. Taken together Epstein said the program’s cost was $553,412, but he noted that the district had also spent $569,701 less on new computers because “every classroom is a computer lab.” Epstein also made note of some ways they have sought to reduce negative screen time, since “not all screen time is created equal,” through things like workshops, district control settings, blocking the app stores and locking the Safari browser history so parents can see if their child has gone to noneducational sites. He also recommended using larger text, taking many breaks, setting rules where the devices must be placed in a common room at night to charge and using a night screen mode where the iPad emits a warmer shade of light. In unrelated business, school trustees said Parkville Elementary School Principal Debra Shalom would retire eﬀective Aug. 1, as would Dr. James Welsch, principal of Great Neck South Middle School.

N. Shore residents protest Missing grandson of Trump in the spirit of MLK W.P. biz owners found BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N More than 20 people demonstrated in Great Neck on Martin Luther King Jr.’s 89th birthday against President Donald Trump’s stances and recent comments on immigration, an event that some organizers said was done in the spirit of the late civil rights leader. People ranging from children to grandparents held signs expressing support for immigrants, opposing policies of the

Trump administration and paying tribute to King through quotes denouncing injustice, drawing some honks of support from people driving along Middle Neck Road. The protest, organized by North Shore Action Group, came after Trump reportedly referred to Haiti, El Salvador and African nations as “shithole countries,” according to The Washington Post, and asking why the United States could not have more immigrants from places like Norway.

OUR VIEWS

Stop suppressing the vote in N.Y.

epublicans in states across the country have in recent years campaigned for legislation to suppress the

vote. The goal: to keep Democrats — especially nonwhite Democrats — from voting and thereby win elections they would otherwise lose. So what’s New York State’s excuse? No, New York State has not been part of the national campaign to suppress the vote. It doesn’t have to. It already suppresses the vote. In fact, New York State is a model for voter suppression that Republican state legislatures aspire to.! Take primaries. Most states hold some form of open primary or caucus that allows independents to participate. Not New York, where independents outnumber Republicans. While some states allow independents to join a party when they arrive at the polls, New York requires independents to join 11 months in advance.! Many Bernie Sanders supporters learned this fact the hard way when they tried to vote for the Vermont senator in his primary bid against Hillary Clinton in 2016.! It says something that in North Carolina, where election law changes were struck down by the courts for violating the Voting Rights Act, independents are allowed to participate in primary elections. The North Carolina law also would have reduced early voting from 17 days to 10. This was

rightly criticized as undemocratic. But New York is even worse. It offers no early voting. None. How does New York get away this? Federal law says states cannot pass laws that make minority voters worse off. But since New York never offered laws that encouraged voter participation the state’s hostility to voters is grandfathered in. This is also true with sameday registration. New York requires citizens to register three weeks in advance. When North Carolina tried to move to the same policy, the courts said it had violated the Voting Rights Act. Republicans who have cut early voting and eliminated sameday registration in states like North Carolina and Ohio have pointed to New York to justify their moves. So what is the impact of New York State’s policy? Great, if you don’t care much for fair elections or the democratic process. In 2014,! based on eligiblevoter population data, New York had the second lowest voter turnout rate in the country — 28 percent. North Carolina’s was 41 percent. Legislation to make it easier for state residents to vote has been approved by Democrats in the state Assembly but has died in the Republican-controlled state Senate, where the leadership prevents it from being brought to the floor for a vote. This includes legislation that would have established two weeks of early voting and! moved the party registration deadline closer

to the primary. Gov. Andrew Cuomo has also called for automatic registration through the state Department of Motor Vehicles and other government agencies. The Republican leaders in the state Senate — and the eight Democrats who have given them control — ought to get out of the way and let there be a vote on the reform proposals. It’s true that the reforms could cost Republicans control in the state Senate — and the leaders their jobs. The rest of the state — two U.S. senators, governor, lieutenant governor, comptroller and attorney general — is already in the hands of Democrats. But perhaps getting good candidates with policies most New York voters support is a better way

of gaining power than preventing people from voting. Just take a look at New York City, the bluest of blue cities. Before the election of Bill DeBlasio as mayor, city voters had elected Republicans Rudy Giuliani and Michael Bloomberg four straight times before Bloomberg won a third term as an independent. That’s 20 years of voting for someone other than a Democrat. In New York City. Still, the people who control the state Senate — both Republicans and Democrats —! became leaders under a system that makes New York seem like something out of the old South. So perhaps they need some encouragement from voters to do the right thing. People already registered to

vote should press state Sen. Elaine Phillips and others in the Senate to support legislation that removes obstacles blocking New Yorkers’ participation in the democratic system. And, if need be, hold these legislators accountable for the actions of their leaders. There is actually a precedent for the state Legislature making voting fairer. In 2012 and 2013, the Legislature voted to end gerrymandering statewide by turning over the redistricting process to an independent commission in 2020.!The amendment later became law, when the measure received 57 percent of the vote in a public referendum. So the Legislature will occasionally do the right! thing. When pressed. Now is the time to press.

ON THE RIGHT

Curran: Ignore Sen. Flanagan’s advice

n Friday, Jan. 12, County Executive Laura Curran had her first opportunity to describe her vision for Nassau before 1,000 people attending the Long Island Association breakfast. Another public oﬃcial given an opportunity to speak was New York Senate Majority Leader John Flanagan, who proceeded to give Curran unsolicited advice. The Republican’s remarks were described by Newsday as a “stream of consciousness” that “might have left some in the audience confused.” Frankly, I found several of his comments to be downright bizarre. On the Nassau Interim Finance Authority, Flanagan said “NIFA needs to go away … has to go away. We need to allow people to properly govern and enter into collective bargaining agreements … Let the public speak every two or four years about the job you are doing.” In case the senator has forgotten, let me restate what I’ve said many times before: Back in 2000, to help restore the county’s fiscal health, which had been suﬀering for years due to mis-

management and corruption, the Nassau County Legislature unanimously approved a homerule message requesting Albany to create a slate oversight panel with the power to guide the county’s budget policies. By asking for an independent public authority possessing budgetary oversight power, the Nassau legislators conceded they could not trust themselves to manage the county’s finances responsibly. Responding to this request, then-Democrat Assemblyman Tom DiNapoli of Great Neck, and then-Republican Sen. Dean Skelos of Rockville Center, crafted NIFA legislation that was intended to fix Nassau’s financial mess and to protect taxpayers from future irresponsible political behavior. This bipartisan bill, which then-Assemblyman John Flanagan voted for, was signed into law by Republican Gov. George Pataki on June 23, 2000. Since 2000, NIFA has been a watchdog for the county’s longsuﬀering taxpayers. When the former county executive, the indicted Ed Mangano, drove the county to the

GEORGE J. MARLIN On The Right edge of insolvency in 2011, NIFA stepped in and declared a control period. Despite constant roadblocks thrown in its path by Mangano —who thought he could borrow his way out of the crisis —NIFA imposed on the county credible fiscal and management reforms to help achieve a truly balanced budget. And if County Executive Curran works with NIFA and negotiates fair contracts with municipal unions that are approved by

NIFA, I expect the control period will end. Another ludicrous comment Sen. Flanagan made to Curran, “Smartest thing you can do is listen to Richie Kessel.” Actually, the dumbest thing Curran could do is listen to Richie Kessel! Kessel is the poster child for political hacks. For decades he was New York’s leading political toady. Fortunately, Gov. Andrew Cuomo had the good sense in 2011 to bounce him as head of the New York Power Authority. When Kessel ran LIPA during the Pataki years, it became a patronage mill. Originally structured to have approximately 20 employees, under Kessel’s direction it swelled to 100 employees. It was a haven for the children, cousins and brothers-in-law of the politically connected. Here’s an excerpt from an op-ed I wrote about Kessel for the New York Post in June 2008: Under Kessel’s leadership, LIPA rate hikes made Long Island even less competitive compared to the rest of the nation and were a major factor in the near-final

exodus of Long Island manufacturing jobs. Kessel wasted millions of dollars on a boondoggle wind farm off Jones Beach – a project that hired one of his political patrons, Al D’Amato. Meanwhile, LIPA ignored opportunities to pay down the crushing $6 billion debt from the Shoreham nuclear plant. The state comptroller’s office reported that, on Kessel’s watch, LIPA ignored laws requiring bids for contracts over $5,000, and used customer money to pay a Republican lobbying organization $45,000 to conduct political polling. He retained both Republican Kieran Mahoney and Democrat Patricia Lynch to represent the state authority in Albany at taxpayer expense. County Executive Curran will better serve taxpayers by ignoring Sen. John Flanagan’s advice. And Sen. Flanagan will better serve taxpayers and help the GOP maintain control of the Senate if he refrains from dispensing ridiculous tips to local officials and devote his energies to opposing Gov. Cuomo’s tax and spend policies.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Strong woman characters in movies

his past weekend, I was looking for a movie with a strong woman character. I found, not one, but three such films, all at the Roslyn Cinema! “The Post,” “Molly’s Game,” and “I, Tonya.” How to choose? I couldn’t. So I saw all three. The ticket seller was very helpful as I explained my mission. However, we were interrupted mid-conversation by a man who stepped up and asked for tickets — without so much as an “excuse me.” As if I were invisible. As if I weren’t even there. So I said it for him. “Excuse me. I’m right here, buying tickets myself.” That’s what has made me a feminist. It’s happened so many times, in Starbucks alone, that I call it “the Starbucks phenomenon” — baristas finally finishing with the person in front of me, only to turn and ask the man behind me for his order. I may be short, but I’m quite large enough to be seen with the naked eye. It’s not just at Starbucks, and

it isn’t just me. Ask Katharine Graham! Several times, Steven Spielberg’s “The Post” shows Mrs. Graham as the only woman in a room full of white men … and even though she is there as the owner and publisher of the paper, her remarks are ignored until men make the very same point. Men who work for her. Watching “The Post,” you know you are in the hands of a master story teller; and Meryl Streep convinces as no one else can. You feel Graham’s distress at being torn between financial obligations, personal friendships, and a desire to preserve her children’s inheritance — all at war with the irreplaceable importance of the press in an endangered democracy. It’s as much a movie about its own time — when reporting meant having a pocket full of quarters for a pay phone — as it is about ours. “Molly’s Game” is literally about high stakes — the dazzling wins and losses in high-priced

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side poker games that the real-life Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) ran in Los Angeles and New York. It is no surprise to learn that Aaron Sorkin, patron saint of fast-talking characters, wrote the script. The surprise is how deftly Sorkin handles his first time directing. I went into “I, Tonya” wondering why this movie needed to be made. I remembered Tonya Harding as the skater who was somehow implicated in a brutal

attack on fellow skater Nancy Kerrigan, just before the 1994 Olympics in which both were scheduled to compete. Many have stressed both what a horrow show Harding’s mother was (allegedly committing both physical and mental cruelty) and what a terrific job Allison Janney has done in portraying her. Good points. But… Tonya’s basic argument is that the figure skating world never saw her as anything but “white trash,” so she never had a chance. This, even though she was the only woman in the world who could do a triple Axel. In one scene, Tonya chases down a judge and demands of him why, when she did more and better jumps than any other girl in the competition, did she still not win? He answers that skating is about more than just jumping; the winner will represent the United States, so all of a skater’s “presentation” is part of the score. This is just one of many things that Tonya thinks is unfair.

Whether it’s her impoverished background or a broken shoelace, nothing is ever her fault; the game is rigged; there is no such thing as the truth. I was forcibly reminded of another “trailer trash” icon, this one currently in the White House, who would gleefully say — or Tweet — all the same points. But here’s the thing. You can’t cherrypick which aspects of a sport you want to be scored on. What’s the point of learning to do a triple Axel, something valued by skating, if you sneer at and refuse to do everything else they want? Besides: Harding had been dealt a few aces as well. For starters, phenomenal athletic ability. Also, she was white and blond. Compare her with Surya Bonaly, a black French skater of the same years. Bonaly, too, had more athleticism than grace (perhaps you remember her amazing, illegal, backflip in 1998). She, too, felt unfairly Continued on Page 96

OUR TOWN

Queens versus Nassau, you decide

ince our nation is young it’s true by definition that every American is an immigrant from another land. I’d be willing to bet that the majority of those who live in Nassau County have immigrated from either Queens or Brooklyn when they were kids. In the Oscar-winning film “Brooklyn” Emory Cohen plays a young Italian-American who at the end shows his Irish bride to be this dream place to the east of Brooklyn called Nassau County. Do you recall the film classic “Avalon”, written and directed by Barry Levinson. It was about an extended immigrant family who settled in Baltimore at the turn of the century. The enormous poignancy of this film is seen as the Krinchinsky family slowly disintegrates as the next generation leaves their neighborhood behind and head for the dream called suburbia. By the end of the film we see watch as alienated and isolated nuclear families are living in the suburbia and spending their Thanksgiving holiday silently watching television. And then there is George Raho, another screenwriter who recently wrote “Penny Candy” about a family moving from Brooklyn to Levittown a place that the kids refer to where “there ain’t no sewers, there ain’t no cellars and there ain’t no

stoops. It’s a perfect place to live if you’re a duck!” “Brooklyn”, “Avalon” and “Penny Candy” all conjure up the deeply felt pain of loss, the longing for a past when we were young, free, connected to a neighborhood and watched by a large extended families. All these distant memories of more simple and joy filled times are lost as we enter into our adulthood with all of its daily stress and worry. As the Joni Mitchell song went “Something’s lost but something’s gained by living everyday.” I thought it might be educational to go back to the Queens where I grew up and revisit that strange land called Queens. It is now a changed place with 2,330,000 population and is now considered the nation’s most diverse county. For my first eight years my family lived in a small, twobedroom garden apartment on Rocky Hill Road in Bayside. My first memory as a child was leaning out the kitchen window and dropping eggs onto the pavement two stories below. I don’t recall why I thought that was a good idea nor whether my mother beat me for doing so. I also recall how one night when my parents were out on the town I thought I would be an especially good child and clean up the bathroom by soaping up all

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

the walls to make them spotless. When my mother got home I expected large accolades but instead she gazed at the bathroom with an astonished look and screamed. I was not a terribly dumb child so right away I realized she was not happy. And I also recalled the time my brother and I thought it would be fun to light a fire in one of the stairwells. I have a vague memory of the fire department showing up but the rest of that memory has been fully repressed. So these are the memories of a boyhood in Queens. My memories are wrapped in a warm glow of fun and happiness so I really didn’t know what to expect when I visited there this week. My GPS got me right to Rocky Hill Road without a glitch and those garden apartments

were still there. They had a grimy rundown look to them, with a little courtyard with some dirty grass patches. I saw the basement window that I once fell through and led to many stitches and a long scar on my right wrist which I still have. There were only three of us kids then and our family of five was beginning to get cramped in our two bedroom apartment. I could see why my parents wanted to flee to the promised land of Nassau County the first chance they had. After sizing up the apartment building I sauntered down to the corner candy store and was not surprised to see all the Korean, Chinese and Greek newspapers there. I then walked further west to find my old grammar school. St. Kevins. St. Kevin’s is situated in a more high end neighborhood in Flushing surrounded by brick and stone Tudor style homes that must easily sell for over a million each. What I recall about St. Kevins were those really fierce nuns who would enforce a rule of strict silence the entire day. Think of a building filled with hundreds grammar schoolers marching down the hallways in total silence all day long. How in the world did they do it? I never attended kindergarten so the first grade was my first

experience with schooling. The first grade represents the one and only time in my life that I achieved an elected oﬃce. Given my slow start I was elected vice president of the Poor Readers Club. However I found solace in the fact that my best friend was elected the president. I have memories of kneeling on sand following mistakes but I may be wrong about that. As George Orwell once wrote “such, such were the days.” As I strolled around the neighborhood I ran into a woman who had lived across the street from for many years and she told me her kids went there. I shared my memories with her and she told me that all that’s changed and that sadly now there are hardly any nuns at all. And by my third grade year our family mimicked the families in films I have mentioned and we migrated east to Massapequa. I lived in Massapequa for the remainder of my childhood. I said goodbye to Bayside and traveled east to revisit my memories of life in Nassau County. You will have to wait next week to find out what I saw there. Life in Massapequa was a far cry from Bayside. Like in the screenplay “Penny Candy” the sounds of fire engines were replaced by the sounds of ducks flying overhead.

PULSE OF THE PENINSULA

Women’s march will kick off midterms

bigail Adams, writing to her husband, John Adams, a congressman at the time, in March 1776, warned, “Remember, all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation.” That revolution clearly is still going on, despite finally getting the right to vote 144 years later and nearly a century ago. Even after women staged the biggest protest in history exactly a year ago, swamping Washington D.C. and coming out by the hundreds of thousands in cities and hamlets across the country, Republicans did not get the mes-

sage, but spent their first year in total control of all the levers of government systematically dismantling all the elements of a free and equal society, and specifically, waging a war on women’s rights, health and security. Republicans went full throttle to attack women’s reproductive rights – the House has already passed a 20-week ban on abortion which is set to go to the Senate and is guaranteed of Trump’s signature, while dismantling health clinics. “The threat for women — and reproductive freedom — is greater than ever,” writes Ilyse Hogue, president, NARAL ProChoice America. “The consequences of this bill becoming law would be gut-wrenching. Women seek abortion care after 20 weeks for a variety of rea-

Pulse of the Peninsula sons, including medical problems, diﬃculty accessing care, and the fear that comes with rape, incest, and abuse.” The bill makes it a crime for a doctor to perform or attempt an abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy with no exceptions

for a woman’s health. The bill would leave a woman—and her healthcare provider—with no safe and legal option. And hidden in the 429-page Republican Tax Law is a provision that establishes “personhood” by giving legal rights to a fetus for the purposes of college savings accounts. “That might seem innocuous, but once that legal precedent is established, it’s a short step to banning abortion outright.” Let’s be clear: women’s reproductive rights are not just about the freedom to make choices about one’s body, but one’s future. It is nothing less than the right to self-determination which men claim. It is about Equal Protection under the Constitution. If men have a right to life

and liberty, so do women and nothing less. Men don’t require government authorization to get a vasectomy or take Viagra (covered under health insurance). And women should not be made less of a person, less of a citizen than a zygote, with government as its unappointed “Regent”. “It took us a while to figure out,” Gloria Steinem said in an interview with The Guardian, “but patriarchy – or whatever you want to call it, the systems that say there’s masculine and feminine and other bullshit – is about controlling reproduction. Every economics course ought to start not with production but with reproduction. It is way more important.” The tax code Trump and the Continued on Page 18

Bus travel: Use service or lose it

t was five years!ago, on Monday morning! Jan. 7, 2013! I was able to board the first bus departing from!the Little Neck Long Island Rail Road station. The Q36 resumed weekday service on the old Q79 Little Neck Parkway bus route. My wife and I had the opportunity to be the last two riders prior to the demise of our old New York City Transit Q79 Little Neck Parkway bus. Thirty-six months earlier on Saturday, June 25th, 2010! at 6:23 p.m., right on time, we boarded the Q79 bus departing Little Neck for its last run to Jericho Turnpike in Floral Park. Many of my neighbors residing in Great Neck within walking distance of the City Line!periodically utilized this bus route. Service began on June 4, 1950. The newly created New York City Transit Authority in 1953 assumed operations.! Growing up in the neighborhood during the late 1960s and early 1970s, it was known back then as the Q12A. and was part of my life and that of many others. On April 12, 1990 it was renamed the Q79 probably due to avoiding confusion with the Little Neck to Flushing Q12 route. The bus would take me to Union Turnpike and after short walk, to the old Glen Oaks Movie Theater along with Mays Depart-

ment Store. A transfer to the Q46 Union Turnpike bus provided connections to the Lake Success Shopping Center with a full Sears Department Store, other businesses and the adjacent bowling alley. Many have long forgotten that there was a time when bus drivers actually had to make change and drive all at the same time. No one dared bring any food on the bus or leave any litter behind. Air conditioned buses were just becoming a more common part of the fleet as older non-air conditioned buses were retired. After I finished college and began commuting on the LIRR, the Q79 provided other options. On very cold winter night or hot summer days – rather than walking up Little Neck Parkway to either home or Scobees Diner – I would frequently take the Q79. As my train pulled into the Little Neck Station, a quick look out the window would confirm if the bus was waiting. When the MTA introduced Metro Cards in 1996 with free transfers between subway and bus, riding the Q79 became an even better bargain and become a more frequent part of my journey. If service was suspended or seriously delayed on the Port Washington Branch, the Q79 was my little secret lifeline. I would

use the Hempstead Branch Floral Park Station. A quick three block walk to Jericho Turnpike would reunite me with my good old friend the Q79. It was always sad that residents of Floral Park practiced the NYMBY (Not In My Back Yard) philosophy and refused to grant permission to extend the Q79 to the Floral Park LIRR Station. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority and its operating agency, New York City Transit always seemed to have a policy of only running the same standard 40 foot local buses on all routes. Too bad that neither would budge. Imagine if the MTA/NYCT, like other transit agencies had purchased smaller 35, 30 or 25 foot buses. Perhaps the Village of Floral Park would have agreed to accommodate smaller buses on their streets. With a direct connection between both the Floral Park and Little Neck LIRR Stations, there might have been a suﬃcient increase in ridership to justify keeping the Q79. Sadly, we will never know. Our old bus stop on the corner of Little Neck Parkway and Northern Blvd. adjacent to the Chase Manhattan Bank added the Q36 to the old Q79.! ! The Guide-A-Ride is updated to add the Q36 timetable telling you when the next bus will arrive.!

Extending the Q36 route from its previous terminus on Jericho Turnpike at the City Line north along Little Neck Parkway to the Little Neck LIRR station restores all the old Q79 connections and adds many new ones.! !At Northern Boulevard, you can transfer to the Q12 Flushing bus. Last stop is the Main Street Flushing No. 7 subway station. There are over 16 other local NYCT and MTA bus connections available in downtown Flushing. Don’t forget the !N21 NICE (Nassau Inter County Express) with connections to Great Neck, Roslyn, Hicksville and Glen Cove. !At Horace Harding Blvd and Long Island Expressway, you can transfer to the Q30 bus. This bus route provides connection to the subway (F line at 169th St. along with the Jamaica LIRR Station (with connections to all LIRR branches except Port Washington along with the subway E, J & Z lines). ! At Union Turnpike, there is the Q46 bus providing service to 260th Street Glen Oaks, the City Line (including Long Island Jewish Hospital or Lake Success Shopping Center a short walk away) or the Union Turnpike Subway Station (E or F subway lines). !At Hillside Avenue, you can transfer to the Q43 bus in either direction to the City Line or Jamaica LIRR Station (with con-

nections to all LIRR branches except Port Washington) along with the subway (E, F, J & Z lines). There are also many other local NYCT bus connections along with N22 NICE bus to Mineola and Hicksville. ! At Jericho Turnpike, you can walk three blocks south and catch the Hempstead LIRR Branch at the Floral Park Station. There is also the N24 NICE bus with connections to Mineola, Roosevelt Field Mall and East Meadow. ! This enhanced Q36 bus service continues to provide a new one seat bus ride for riders boarding along Little Neck Parkway with a direct connection to the Hempstead branch LIRR at the Queens Village Station (at the corner of Jamaica Avenue & Springfield Blvd.) and F subway line at either the 179th St or 169th Street stations along Hillside Avenue. There are also numerous other local bus connections available along the Jericho Turnpike and Hillside Avenue portions of the Q36 bus route. Don’t forget all the other connecting bus routes available at the 165th Street Bus Terminal. !It continues to be!up to several! thousand Queens and Nassau County residents who live within a one to ten block walking radius west and east of Little Continued on Page 96

Defending democratic ideals up to us

ometimes a failure in leadership is an opportunity to evaluate our own willingness to step forward. In the face of a leader who has degraded our country’s most cherished democratic values, specifically, inclusiveness, diversity, and equal opportunity, we may grieve at the negligence of our sacred ideals. Or, we can step forward as stewards of the fundamental vision that was ignited with our founding fathers, one that has progressively evolved over the decades. When our commander-inchief obscenely demeans whole countries of people by insulting their culture, poverty, or skillsets, he essentially wounds our democracy as we know it. To judge a person’s worth in terms of skin color, country of origin, or wealth is inhumane and grossly undemocratic. The American Dream is built on the notion that with nothing, we can still achieve everything.

The moment the leader of the free world tears apart that fundamental notion, that leadership becomes a sham in the shadow of the words inscribed on our Statue of Liberty: “Give me!your tired,!your poor,!Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of!your teeming shore.” Who, then, will step forward as protectors of that vision? Moreover, anyone who assumes to be a steward of our democracy must ask oneself: At present, which are the most vulnerable democratic ideals? Furthermore, what can be done to protect these ideals? As we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr., this month, it is clear that we are celebrating the dream and accomplishments of this amazing civil rights leader, alongside purported sentiments of inequality and an attack on equal opportunity. The lowest common dominator of liberty, being the fundamental value of opportunity, becomes denigrated once we extend

opportunity based on country or continent of origin, race, wealth or merit-based criteria. In order to uphold the basic democratic ideals of equality and equal opportunity, in the face of a failure of leadership, stewards of democracy must step forward. These stewards may not only be elected oﬃcials, but each and every citizen who feels the volition to do so. In a 1946 letter regarding race relations, Albert Einstein stated the following regarding racial prejudice and inequality: “The more I feel an American, the more the situation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.” In recent times, we have frequently heard so many state the exact realization that Einstein proposed in 1946: Silence is complicity. Words matter. The first thing we can do as stewards of a threatened and vulnerable democratic ideal is to speak.

Speak in written word, in spoken word, at home, at social gatherings, community events, and other organized opportunities. Speak about what equality means in everyday life, in our communities, and in public policy. Speak about what equality actually means on a human level. How do we, as Americans, define human rights and the commonality of all people? Keep the American Dream alive and evolving by narrating the story and defining and redefining what it looks like. In the 1946 letter, Einstein posits that part of the foundation for a prejudiced mindset exists in the groundwork of a prejudiced tradition: a lineage of unconscious prejudiced thinking. Einstein argues: “A large part of our attitude toward things is conditioned by opinions and emotions which we unconsciously absorb as children from our environment. In other words, it is tradition—besides inherited aptitudes

and qualities—which make us what we are.” Yet, as Einstein argues, we can rise above a tradition of an unconscious prejudiced mindset by consciously reflecting on what is just. We can continually create new and positive traditions. Much of the progress in our society has been made by unraveling those traditions which hinder growth and progress. This, of course, is no easy feat, Einstein realizes, but can be done with courage which will be passed on to future generations: “He must have the courage to set an example by word and deed, and must watch lest his children become influenced by this racial bias.” Besides words, and the conscious unraveling of unconscious tradition, Martin Luther King Jr. formulated another approach to combating inequality and injustice. In his “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Martin Luther King Jr. Continued on Page 18

Library services threatened Store a victim

s president of the Board of the Williston Park Library, I am writing to support our library and all public libraries in New York State. Our library, like so many others, is the cornerstone of our community as it is accessible to everyone and provides a safe and welcoming space for all members of our community. Unfortunately, from current reports provided to us, it appears that current New York State policies may not be adequately funding local education services like public libraries. Where we, as citizens and through our elected oﬃcials,

choose to spend our collective resources serves as a testament to what we value. As our elected representatives come together in Albany this winter to craft this year’s New York State Budget, it is my hope that they will produce a sound financial plan that will benefit every citizen, especially in the area of suﬃciently funding our community libraries. Libraries oﬀer free and equal access to educational opportunities and are the primary source of internet access for many of our neighbors. New Yorkers of all ages, experiences, and needs use their local library for early literacy

programs; classes in adult education and financial literacy; health groups and fitness workshops; technology assistance; English and other language classes; and many other programs and services too numerous to list here. Please join me in using the online advocacy system oﬀered by the New York Library Association to write of your support for public libraries to the governor and the Legislature: nyla. org/advocacy.

Defending democratic ideals up to us Continued from Page 17 calls for a specific type of action: constructive, nonviolent tension. King explains, “nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue.”

King saw everyone who participated in direct action, such as sit-ins, marches, and so forth, as Socratic “non-violent gadflies” that would help communities overcome the kind of harmful tradition that Einstein saw as a hindrance to societal progress. As we consider Einstein’s call

to speak, and King’s imperative for both words and nonviolent tension, we may all feel empowered to step forward and lead as stewards of our most precious democratic ideals. The influence of a large movement, in our current political environment, like the Women’s March,

illustrates the real power of nonviolent gadflies. Marchers, community leaders, journalists, and outspoken citizens will always be met with some kind of criticism, or tension. Yet, the result of the eﬀorts toward a more inclusive and equal society ultimately leads to a more peaceful

and just society. In the face of a seemingly failed leadership, we can reflect on the ways in which we may become engaged citizens, and support democracy’s gadflies and stewards. Diana Poulos-Lutz Mineola

Women’s march will kick off the midterms Continued from Page 16 Republicans are so proud of attacks everything that makes the American Dream possible and everything that women count on for their families. Republicans have yet to reauthorize CHIP, leaving 9 million children and pregnant women without access to health care. And what of that child after the Republicans compel its birth? They are stripping away access to child care, pre-K, health care, special education. Now Republicans will go use the mounting budget deficit – $1 trillion – because of their tax plan, to go after Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid, food stamps and welfare – things that women, who live longer but have lower earnings throughout their working lives, or who are more apt to be single parents – depend on to a greater degree than men. (To see what a pro-Woman agenda would look like, read what Gov.

Cuomo is proposing.) Not to mention Trump’s executive actions and his appointments to EPA, Interior, Education, Health & Human Services, Energy and the judiciary who are enacted policies that harm women and families, climate and public health. In each and every category of concern to women: health care, immigration, climate change and environmental justice, domestic violence and gun violence prevention, criminal justice. Trump, who through words and actions has shown nothing but contempt for women, and the Republicans have sent a big F-U to women. Republicans after the 2017 women’s marches, felt they were safe, that women would just forgive and forget, go away, be too consumed with the pressures of earning a living wage to keep their family with food and shelter, than to be politically active. Indeed, the furor of last year’s Women’s March was

quickly dissipated over addressing the Outrage Du Jour: Travel Ban, withdrawing from the Paris Climate Accord, unleashing ICE to round up undocumented immigrants, gun massacres of historic scale, horror over the government’s failure to address the climate catastrophe Puerto Rico, eﬀorts to repeal Obamacare, then the tax code. But then there was the #MeToo movement. I can only imagine that the furor has some quaking at the new-found power of Womanhood. This year’s protests are diﬀerent because 2018 will be the first significant opportunity for voters to take consequential action at the polls. That’s why these protests are so much more important than a year ago. “[Last year] we marched for even bigger, more systemic issues. We marched because 1 in 4 women is sexually assaulted in her lifetime (as well as 1 in 6 men). Women make up half of the coun-

try but only 19% of Congress. Women earn 79 cents to a man’s dollar, and that percentage drops to 63 cents for Black women and 54 cents for Latina women. And there are more anti-abortion laws on the books now than at any time since Roe v. Wade,” writes Caitlin Alesio Maloney, director of Campaign Operations & Technology. “None of the issues went away in 2017, but we are seeing progress. #MeToo was a breakout movement that is bringing about real change. Emily’s List had 920 women interested in running for oﬃce in 2016, but 16,000 women reached out to them to run in 2017. And with the Women’s March Power to the Polls project launching the day after the anniversary marches, we know this movement can make the diﬀerence and get them elected in 2018,” she stated. “We need to show up for #MeToo. For Time’s Up. For

women’s reproductive rights. For equal pay. And we need to show up to remind Donald Trump, on the anniversary of his inauguration, that We. Will. Always. Resist.” These are the issues but here is the action: March Into Action will be registering voters at the march to support a national eﬀort to register 1 million women to vote by the 2018 elections. There are some 280 women’s marches taking place across the country on Saturday, Jan. 20, with the largest in New York City, organized by Women’s March Alliance, Corp., 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., Columbus Circle with a rally at about 11:30 (line up Central Park West), followed by a march down to Sixth Avenue and 45th Street. This time, instead of cutesy pink pussyhats, we should wear black and come with pitchforks (or broomsticks). Letters Continued on Page 96

Regeneron honors 4 South High students

CINDY WANG

DANIEL KIM

MICHELLE XING

BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Four students from Great Neck South High School are among the nine high schoolers from Great Neck who have been recognized in the Regeneron Science Talent Search, one of the oldest and most prestigious science contests in the country. Their Regeneron projects studied a possible treatment for a type of cancer, dark matter’s eﬀect on the universe,"how subatomic particles interact and using algae to purify water. They are Daniel Kim, 18, Eric Kuang, 17, Cindy Wang, 17, and Michelle Xing, 17. Daniel Kim When Daniel Kim first joined the research program in Great Neck South High School, he said he was not sure what he wanted to do. But then he found the chance to work in a laboratory focusing on lung cancer, Kim said, which eventually helped lead him into his Regeneron-recognized research into a diﬀerent cancer: neuroblastoma. “It was an instant moment for me,” Kim said. “I was completely immersed in it.” His research involved an alternative treatment for neuroblastoma, a cancer that forms in nerve tissue. Kim said that, essentially, he and other scientists worked to change T-cell receptors to make them more specific to the ailment. While the treatment is still developing, Kim said it is possible it could someday be used to help people with this late-stage cancer. “The technique I was working on, it’s still in its primitive phase,” Kim said. “It could potentially be applicable to treatment.” Overall, Kim said doing research has been fun and satisfying – the recognition has just been icing on the cake. “You’re able to say I did this on my own, I was able to get far, and I was able to get recognized for it,” Kim said. Outside of school, Kim said he swims and plays the cello. Kim said he intends to study molecular biology or biochemistry and possibly pursue immunotherapy or oncology in the future. Michelle Xing Michelle Xing first thought about water purification in eighth grade, after hearing about lead-contaminated wa-

Xing’s project, which also qualified her as a Siemen’s semifinalist, hopes to address that problem. Working with a professor at Stony Brook University, Xing said she extracted nanofibers from algae and increased the surface area to try boosting how much it absorbs. Xing said that while there are costs for the treatment, it is a low cost one with great potential. “The actual material is very very cheap, but it’s abundant,” Xing said. “I think it’s such an attractive material.” Xing also noted that working in research has provided an opportunity to “bring light” to certain situations and how science can help alleviate them. Xing, who has also enjoyed music throughout her life, said she hopes to study civil or environmental engineering in college. Eric Kuang For his project, Eric Kuang analyzed data obtained from distance measurements of astronomical events with

ERIC KUANG

a special simulation and statistical sampling algorithm to study the possible impact of dark matter on the movement of the universe. It was a project that began in 10th grade over the summer, Kuang said, but his inspiration goes back to when he took an interest in the universe as a child. He is also following in the footsteps of his grandparents, who were research scientists, Kuang said. “I think their experience really inspired me in going into research,” he said. Kuang, who was recently accepted by Stanford University, said he would most likely major in physics. “I think for all of us, we can agree that without our mentors, without our teachers, without the school’s science department, we would not be able to achieve what we have,” Kuang added. Outside of school, Kuang said he enjoys reading and playing golf. Cindy Wang Cindy Wang’s project, using data from the Relativistic Heavy Collider, measured an electrical eﬀect called the chiral magnetic eﬀect from a dense subatomic soup of particles called the quark-gluon plasma. This study of the particles generated when heavy ions collide could help broaden people’s understanding of the universe itself, Wang said. “This sheds light on the most fundamental interactions between our particles, and also tells us about the Big Bang and our early universe,” Wang said. Wang said that getting recognition for the project, which also earned her a slot as a Siemen’s semifinalist last year, is “really great.” But, she said, this has not been the only reward. “I think it’s really great that we got this recognition, but I think that even without this recognition, it’s been really awesome to do something that we may be committing to doing in the future,” Wang said. “I think that the win just makes it cool, but even without the win, it was still pretty awesome,” she added. Wang said she wants to pursue something related to physics in college and help “solve the world’s problems by applying this knowledge.” Wang said that aside from research, she also golfs and does ballet. “Ballet and research are the two things I enjoy the most,” she said.

Long Island composer and musician Rich Campbell visited on Dec. 15. Herricks High School’s Mixed Chorus had the opportunity to work with two guest musicians during clinics held this fall. Long Island composer and musician

Rich Campbell visited on Dec. 15 and Hofstra University Music Professor Dr. David Fryling spent time at the school on Nov. 28. Campbell’s visit took place

just in time for the chorus members to perform his pieces at their Dec. 20 concert. One song, “If I Can Sing, I Still Am Free,” is based on a poem by Sara Teasdale with a driving rhythmic accompaniment. Campbell explained why he composed the piece in a particular way and how his thoughts translated musically. “Make it personal, imagine the words as your own and to sing with conviction,” Campbell said. Dr. Fryling’s session focused on vocal technique. Students learned how to tell a story and engage their audience while working on the song, “Soon Ah Will Be Done,” by William Dawson. Both workshops engaged students in the exploration of music and encouraged them to fully exercise their skills and creativity.

Herricks shares seasonal music Herricks students performed in and around the community. Under the direction of James Ludwig, Herricks Middle School’s Community Choir performed a concert of children’s music for the staﬀ and students of Harbor Day Care in the Auditorium of the Community Center. Students sang songs including “She’ll Be Comin’ ‘Round the Mountain,” “Jingle Bells” and “The Littlest Worm” as their young audience participated through echoing, clapping and singing. Community Choir is one of two ensembles in the middle school’s after school choir program, open to all students of Herricks Middle School. Members of the Herricks High School Concert Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra traveled to Roosevelt Field Mall to perform holiday music on Dec. 15. “We are proud to be able to bring our Herricks performing ensembles out into the community,” said Catherine Fish, high school orchestra teacher. “For us, it is a wonderful opportunity to practice the actual skills of public performance, while for our audiences it is a chance to hear high quality live music, which they otherwise might not experience in their daily lives.” On Dec. 21, the All-County Band and Orchestra students, directed by Mark Bligh and Stephanie Lanuto, performed some festive holidays songs in

Congregants push for prison reform Former N.Y. state inmate speaks at Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I

Former New York state inmate Jack Davis said during his time in solitary confinement, one of his neighboring inmates stayed up all night, often keeping the other prisoners awake as well. “They had a guy who used to scream every night. Every night, all he did was scream,” said Davis, who was incarcerated for almost 30 years. “Unfortunately, because he wasn’t getting mental health treatment, he screamed all night.” Davis, an advocate for the! New York Campaign for Alternatives to Isolated Confinement, spoke alongside fellow activists Doug Van Zandt and Alicia Barazza, a couple whose son committed suicide in solitary confinement, and Solitary Watch co-director Jean Casella during the “Photo Requests From Solitary” art exhibit at Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock in Manhasset on Sunday. The exhibit will have a second viewing at 6:30 p.m. Jan. 23 with a handful of speakers including Davis, in the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock art gallery.

kept in solitary confinement spend at least 23 hours a day alone in a cell that is, on average, 6 feet by 9 feet — smaller than a standard parking space — without human contact or access to regular prison system programs. “In New York state on any given day, some 4,000 individuals are being held under these conditions,” Deroche said. “The United Nations has ruled that beyond 15 days, solitary confinement is torture, yet many are held for months, years, even decades in these conditions.” According to the United Nations, more than 15 days in solitary confinement is considered cruel and unusual punishment akin to torture. Barazza said her son Benjamin Van Zandt was a quiet teenager, an excellent student and a Boy Scout. When Benjamin was 16, he was concerned his classmates and teachers would learn about his severe clinical depression and he would be placed in a psychiatric hospital. A year later, Benjamin was arrested and charged as an adult after he was denied youthful oﬀender status.

$342M extension planned at N.S. hospital

Cannon Design architect Andrew Pecora presented the plan to the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations. BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I North Shore University Hospital is looking decades into the future with a planned $342 million expansion for operating rooms and intensive care units. North Shore University Hospital Chief Operating Oﬃcer Derek Anderson presented the expansion plan to the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations last Wednesday alongside Cannon Designs architect Andrew Pecora and Northwell Health’s capital projects director, Elena Danilova. “The purpose of this project is to not expand the campus, it’s

to replace a lot of infrastructure and ICU beds and operating rooms that frankly are aged,” Anderson said. “As the hospital has grown over the years and as the technology within healthcare has certainly changed, adapted and morphed in every diﬀerent direction, the physical environment in which we’re providing healthcare is totally diﬀerent than it was even five or 10 years ago.” The building, which will connect to the existing Payson Whitney Tower, is set to house 44 intensive care unit private rooms — half for cardiothoracic patients and half for neurosurgery patients — as well as 18

operating rooms and two shell floors for future intensive care rooms. The six-level building will house a lobby on the first floor, the operating rooms on the second floor, the intensive care unit on the third floor, a mechanical floor on the fourth floor and two levels for future intensive care rooms on the fifth and sixth floors. The first three floors will be connected to Payson Whitney Tower for ease of traﬃc through the lobby and for movement of surgical and intensive care patients. “When you look at the physical environments in which we’re providing that care, it’s not meeting what we believe our patients deserve, to be honest with you,” Anderson said. “Quietness is important when it comes to the healing process, but a lot of our rooms are from the 1960s and ’70s where we have four or five patients together in one room. We want to get rid of all of that.” Anderson said the hospital’s ultimate goal is to move all intensive care patients into private rooms in the advanced surgical pavilion before renovating existing rooms into private rooms as well.

The project, which has an approximately three-year timeline, is pending approval from the Town of North Hempstead’s Board of Zoning Appeals, but Danilova said the goal is to begin construction this summer. The current site plan would require five variances for frontyard setback, side-yard setback, back setback, on-site parking and building height. The building is projected to be 111 feet, 8 inches high, which is similar to the neighboring Payson Whitney Tower, Pecora said, and the town’s code requires a height of no more than 72 feet. Since the proposed pavilion will connect to the existing facilities, a back setback of zero feet must be approved, and a front-yard setback of 55.2 feet where 75 feet is required and a side-yard setback of 27.5 feet where 35 feet is required will also require approval. The site is also lacking 514 parking spaces based on the hospital’s zoning, but Anderson said the hospital currently is lacking parking spaces for the existing footprint. Since the advanced surgical pavilion is planned for a large parking lot along Community Drive, two levels for valet

parking will be placed under the building: one for physician parking and one for patient parking. The main hospital entrance will continue to be through Don Monti Pavilion, and Anderson said he did not expect a large increase for traffic at the hospital’s entrance No. 3, but heart care patients will be asked to use the new entrance, which will be fitted with a small roundabout for dropping off and picking up through the valet. Pecora said many elements, including the cooling tower and elevator override on the roof as well as the parking underneath, will be screened with ivy and vegetation. A large window will will face Community Drive covered in solar sun shades to help lower energy costs, but Pecora said it was no mistake that the shades are arranged to be similar to the Northwell Health logo without all the colors. “The drive of this is to continue to grow the most acute services that the hospital offers for this community and this region,” Anderson said. “What used to be a community hospital has now grown into a huge facility.”

Bringing the beat with Jewish covers PHOTOS COURTESY OF THE MACCABEATS

BY R E B ECC A K L A R

ith a cappella groups popping up left and right, singing groups need to carve out their own path to emerge from the herd. For the Maccabeats, that means tying in their Jewish culture to their songs. “We don’t want to shove anything in anybody’s face,” said Julian Horowitz, a member of the group. “But it’s important for us to portray our heritage in a positive and accessible way.” The 14-member, all-male group was founded at Yeshiva University in 2007, no different from the thousands of similar groups at schools across the country, Horowitz said. Unlike most groups, though, the Maccabeats have expanded from their campus to play for audiences large and small across the world – including appearances on TV and playing for President Barack Obama at the White House. The Maccabeats will play Sunday at 12:30 p.m. at Temple Beth Shalom in Roslyn Heights. “Our audiences, great and small, are what keep us going,” Horowitz said. “Through the crazy travel schedules, the eternal juggling act of life, work, family, and all other ups and downs, singing along with a cheering crowd is one of the great experiences in life.” Each show’s set is a little different, Horowitz said, adding that the group tries to “throw in some local flavor” wherever possible. The group writes some original music, Horowitz said, but mostly performs covers and take-offs of other artist’s music. The group’s songs range from contemporary pop covers to musical theater medleys. Performances of the Maccabeats’ songs, including their “Justin Bieber Passover Mashup,” “Hasmosean – A Hamilton Hannukah,” and Passover Les Misérables medley, are featured on the group’s YouTube channel. For Horowitz, recording videos and performing live are different experiences, but he said he does not have a strong preference for one over the other. Horowitz said he is still not sure if he wants to continue to pursue a career in music forever, but for now he said that he and the Maccabeats want to keep recording and performing as long as they can. At the end of the day, the group is like a family, Horowitz said. “There are highs and lows,” he said. “But we’re stuck together and we’ll stick together.”

32 CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, January 19, 2018

What is Catholic Schools Week? Catholic Schools Week Celebrates the Rich Tradition of Catholic Education Catholic Schools Week is the annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. It starts the last Sunday in January, which in 2018 is January 28th, and runs through February 3th. The theme for the Catholic Schools Week 2018 is “Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.” Schools typically observe the annual celebration week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides to young people and its contributions to our church, our communities and our nation. On Long Island, Catholic Elementary Schools celebrate the week with Masses and open houses to thank parishioners, to welcome visitors and to introduce new families to the benefits of a Catholic education. These frequently kick oﬀ with a Mass and open house on the first Sunday (the 28th), and a series of events designed to recognize the contributions of students, parents and faculty during the course of the week. Many schools oﬀer additional open houses and opportunities to visit during theweek as well. For more information, Calendars of Events and links to the schools, visit LICatholicElementarySchools.org.

ticipate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of students who attend because of the quality of the education alone. What should parents look for during their visit? Many parents of current students tell us that their decision was emotional and based on a feeling of warmth and caring they got during their visit. Others are more analytical and make direct comparisons based on the results on standardized test scores and high school admittance history. Regardless of how you make your decision, the schools are ‘open books’ during this week, providing whatever information prospective families desire to support their decision. There is also a series of video interviews on the licatholicelementaryschools.org web site where current parents oﬀer their advice on how to get the most out of your visit. Frequently Asked Questions What is Catholic Schools Week? Catholic Schools Week is an annual event, celebrated across the country during the last week in January. The week is set aside to celebrate the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. In addition to the internal events (teacher and parent recognition events, school ‘spirit’ days, special assemblies,

etc) it is also a week where the schools open their doors to the families of the Parish/Parishes they serve, and to the general public who might be considering the benefits of a Catholic education. As a school family, how do I participate? Each school publishes a complete list of events and activities taking place in their school during the week. School families are encouraged to visit the web site of their school. As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more? Catholic Schools Week features Open Houses at the schools where parents and students can visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in and get a tour of the facility, be introduced to the teachers, meet some of the current families and children and generally learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs.

As a prospective family, do I have an ‘assigned school’? One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in. There is no direct ‘assignment’ based on where you live and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15-mile radius. Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school? Long Island’s Catholic Elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your Parish or town if you are a Parishioner in the Diocese. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island. Are non-Catholics welcome in the schools? The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students par-

When parents select Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons? The reasons that are most frequently mentioned are: academic excellence, the reinforcement of the values lived at home, Catholic religious identity, a safe, nurturing environment for learning, more individualized attention to each student’s learning needs, an outstanding extracurricular program and the level of partnership established with parents. Will attending Catholic elementary schools help my child get into a prestigious Catholic high school? Attending a Catholic elementary school isn’t the only way to get into a Catholic high school, but it is still the best way. The Catholic high schools are open to all students and typically have a very significant number of students from a public school background. Students qualify for Catholic high school through a test for 8th graders that is administered in October of each year. Typically the students from Catholic elementary schools are best prepared for the academic rigor, the integrated program of faith and values, and the service orientation of the high schools. Virtually all of the students from Catholic elementary school (99 percent) are admitted to a Catholic high school with the vast majority getting into the school that is their first choice. You can learn more about the high school entrance exam, and about the Catholic High Schools at http://CHSEE.org. How can I learn more or choose the school(s) I would like to visit? There is a resource for families on the Internet that provides a very complete picture of the Catholic elementary school experience. It features an interactive map that is your guide to each of Long island’s distinctive Catholic schools, and that lets you view the geographic options for your children at http://licatholicelementaryschools.org.

A better environment for learning. The Catholic school diﬀerence is founded on a simple truth: students know that God loves and accepts them for who they really are. Uniforms help them avoid many of the surface-level distractions of social status and peer pressure, and children learn that their value is not based on how others see them, but on God’s always faithful love for them.

St. Edward the Confessor, Syosset Sunday, January 28: 10:30am - 1:00pm; every Tuesday: 10:00am - 12:00pm

Tomorrow’s Hope: Providing needs-based tuition assistance The mission of the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation is to provide tuition assistance for families who want their children to attend a Catholic elementary school, but need financial help to make it possible. The Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation solicits donations from individuals and corporations, and allocates that money to families based on financial need. A Tomorrow’s Hope grant is awarded anonymously to the family to oﬀset the tuition cost based

on family income and expenses. Alternately, through the Tomorrow’s Hope STAR Program, specific individual students are paired oﬀ with a STAR donor on a direct one-to-one basis. STAR program donors agree to contribute $2,500 a year in a donor/student relationship that often lasts for the duration of the child’s elementary school journey. STAR donors and ‘their students’ have an ongoing dialogue and the donor gets to hear about, and participate in the academic career of a

student. Since its inception in 2005, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation has distributed more than 20 million dollars in aid to over 17,000 qualifying students. Today, the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation provides almost 2 million dollars annually that subsidizes tuitions. In some cases, schools and parishes also have scholarship funds available. Families are encouraged to speak with the Principal at the school of their choice about the options available. You’ll also find a Frequently Asked Questions sheet in the Financial Aid section of the LICatholicElementarySchools.org web site. (About Us>Financial Aid) or by visiting the Tomorrow’s Hope Foundation web site at: www. TomorrowsHopeFoundation.org.

phenomenon that is growing throughout the world is the fascinating world of Escape Rooms. Whether played by teenagers, adults or people in team-building programs, the Escape Room is a perfect way to test your wits in a race against time. The concept is simple and we’ll describe it for anyone that hasn’t experienced an Escape Room so far: a group of people is locked into a room and has 60 minutes to find the way out. Simple… but not too simple. To escape the room, the group must face the daunting task of solving diﬀerent puzzles and find diﬀerent clues that are linked one to the other. By doing this, the group can eventually find the key that will open the door to freedom. If they can’t do it… well, better luck next time. Inspired by the famous “point and click” adventure games from the 80s, the first Real Escape Game (REG) was developed by Japanese Takao Kato in 2008 and it was based in Kyoto. A game creator and an avid manga fan, Kato told the press that he was “wondering why interesting things didn’t happen in my life, like they did in the books, […] I thought I could create my own adventure, a story, and then invite people to be a part of it.” The Escape Room had a single room and could be played by a team consisting of 5 or 6 players. According to S. Nicholson’s study on escape rooms, they involve teamwork, communication, and delegation as well as critical thinking, attention to detail, and lateral thinking. Escape Rooms can be played by a wide age range of players and thriving teams are those that have players with a variety of experiences, skills, background knowledge, and physical abilities.

CrypitIQ Inc. Being live-action games taking place in the material world, Escape Rooms create ways for players to directly connect one with the other. This is something that happens in Board Games, but Escape Rooms bring a whole diﬀerent experience as players distance themselves from a board with meeples and cards, entering a physical fantasy world where they will find challenges and engagement opportunities. Obviously, being part of what seemed like a computer game became a real hit and the Escape Room concept expanded all over the world. According to MarketWatch statistics, from 2010 and up to this day there are more than 2.800 permanent Escape Rooms worldwide. Furthermore, Escape Rooms prove to be a really good business, as the first one that opened in the Pacific Northwest U.S., had an investment of $7.000 and the gross in 2015 was over $600.000. Another famous Escape Room in Dallas, Escape Expert has monthly revenues of $70,000. About 37% of groups have players over 21 years old, about 14% of players are families with parents and children, whilst 19% are groups of players aged below 21. From another perspective, 19% of the Escape Room customers are corporate clients whilst 11% of groups are couples out on a date. These statistics show that the Escape rooms are more likely to attract groups of young players(about 36% of users) than adults (25%). Another important element concerning the success of an Escape Room is the theme. While some players go to Escape Rooms just to face the challenges of the puzzles, others are more interested in the narrative behind the room. Obviously, the better the theme is reflected in the actual room, the more successful the business is.

The themes also diﬀer from one continent to the other. For example, as Scott Nicholson’s study suggests, horror themes are more popular in Asia, where 24% of the rooms have a horror theme. On the other hand, in Europe, customers prefer themes influenced by the last century and in America, players prefer the modern times.

How to be safe when ice skating outdoors

ce skating is not only a great form of exercise, but it’s also a winter activity everyone can partake in. This year round sport is always fun, but it is especially memorable when skating outdoors. Like any sport, it’s always important to warm-up. Dress appropriately for the extreme outdoor weather. Many skaters prefer water proof snow pants as those keep you warm and dry. “Remember to pack a helmet for children under 10, be it a bicycle or ski helmet,” says Brittany Livingston, Oﬃce Manager at Northwell Health

Cracking and dark areas indicate that the ice is unsafe. Make sure that the ice is 4” thick. Never skate on a river or stream, because the moving water doesn’t freeze the same as stagnant pond or lake water. Livingston adds, “Outdoor ice skating is a great activity but only skate outdoors weather permitting. Rain melts the ice which can be dan-

gerous so be sure to check rink conditions before heading out.” Safety always comes first. Always skate with someone. Be prepared for an emergency when you are skating on a remote pond or lake. Pack a flotation device, some rope and always make sure your cell phone is charged. Be aware of your surroundings and don’t push yourself. Skating can be a vigorous form of exercise. When you are gliding on the ice you don’t necessarily feel how hard your body is working.

ust like biking in the warm sun, biking in the winter months can be just as enjoyable. You need to make some slight adjustments to get the most of your ride. Barry Dworkin, Manager of Mineola Bicycle, Fitness and Mower, says that riding in the cold weather oﬀers many benefits. “People get stronger in the winter and burn more calories because they are wearing more layers and are carrying more equipment. Peddling through the winter elements helps to build muscles and endurance.” Just like taking care of your automobile, you should keep your bike in top condition for maximum performance. After each ride, it’s important to clean away the slush as the salt and dirt can damage the bike. “You can use a de-greaser for your chains and sprockets to clean away the grime,”

DONALD STREET PARK Donald Street, Roslyn

How to be safe when riding says Dworkin. “Afterwards, apply lubricant to the chain every 1-2 weeks. This will help with the resistance by keeping things smooth.” Remember to always carry an extra set of tubes due to punctures, as well as a way to inflate the tube. Choose the bike you want to ride on your winter outing. Many riders are now using Fat Bikes. These bikes have a 4”-5” tire, which is safer due to the traction. Fat bikes are easier to handle rough roads and winter conditions compared to a road bike which has a 1” tire, or a mountain bike, which has a 2” tire. Once you have taken care of your bike, it’s important to take care of yourself for the ride. Always wear a helmet, and always use a bike lamp so that you can see the road and cars can see you through the clouds and darker sky. Layering in the winter is important. You want to stay warm

while biking, but it’s important to not overheat. “Dress in clothing with wicking properties. This well help draw moisture out of the body so you don’t sweat too much. In order to compensate for sweating, always keep hydrated to replace the lost moisture. Keeping hydrated is always important no matter what season you are riding,” Dworkin adds. “Protective eyewear will help make the ride better, not only to protect your eyes from dirt and gravel, but as a way to avoid your eyes from tearing due to the cold weather.” A bike ride through a path lined with snow oﬀers not only a beautiful setting, but also solitude. Remember to be mindful of your surroundings, stay clear of black ice, and always make sure your cell phone is charged.

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, January 19, 2018 • CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK

Experience the difference: The Catholic High Schools of Long Island More than 11,000 young people discover learning and faith in the 10 Catholic high schools of Long Island. From southwestern Nassau County to the East End, these high schools reflect the tradition, commitment, and family spirit of their communities. Three are owned and operated by the Diocese of Rockville Centre, two grew from local parishes, and five are the apostolates of religious orders. Each has its own identity — all are defined by academic excellence on a foundation rooted in faith. Dedication to success in the classroom, however, is the hallmark that sets Catholic schools apart. 99 percent of graduates from our schools continue their education at college, and last year, they earned more than $355 million in college scholarships and grants. The religious and lay faculties of Long Island’s Catholic high schools

build upon history and tradition to deliver a contemporary education to their students. At St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset, for instance, students learn on iPads for a dynamic, interactive program of studies. Sacred Heart Academy in Hempstead, an all-girls school of the Sisters of St. Joseph, science education is complemented by participation in local and national science fairs, and partnerships with Hofstra University’s Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science and National Grid. In Riverhead, Bishop McGann-Mercy Diocesan High School students learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) through handson work in the school’s Apple computer lab. Kellenberg Memorial High School’s Robotics Club brings those disciplines together from design to creation in a collaborative setting.

Alumni of Catholic high schools remain close to the mission of their almae matres. Years after graduating, you’ll see alumni return regularly to catch a Cougars football game at St. John the Baptist in West Islip. Oyster Bay’s St. Dominic High School welcomes college-age alumni back every winter for a convivial luncheon. At St. Anthony’s High School in South Huntington, students realize that they are “classmates for four years, and Friars forever.” What keeps so many graduates connected to their Catholic high schools is the well-rounded, values-centered environment to form the complete person. It’s reinforced by daily Mass and food drives at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School in Hicksville. Y oung men of Chaminade High School in Mineola regularly perform service projects in the community. Young

women are empowered by mission trips and a nurturing yet challenging program at Our Lady of Mercy Academy in Syosset. A host of extracurricular activities and interscholastic sports at each school further develop friendship, faith, and understanding. The goal of each Catholic high school is as sacred as it is simple – to provide young people with an education that challenges, inspires, and prepares students to lead successful lives at work, at home, and in the community. The Catholic High Schools Entrance Exam is used for admission to these ten schools in the 9th grade. More information about it and the Catholic High Schools of Long Island may be found at www.CHSEE.org. Open Houses will also be scheduled for prospective candidates and their families in the fall.

Assistant principal runs for a cause

St. Aidan’s Julie O’Connell runs marathon to honor mother in-law, aid cancer fight The assistant principal from St. Aidan School, Julie O’Connell, competed in, and completed, the New York City Marathon on Sunday, Nov. 5. O’Connell, who only started running in 2014, generally ran about five miles at a time but loved the clarity she experienced when she ran. In 2015 she started to train for a half marathon and began competing. As O’Connell began to consider competing in the New Your City Marathon in late 2016, her mother-in-law passed away after an almost five year battle with ovarian cancer.

O’Connell’s memories of how the hospital and doctors at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center helped to extend her mother-inlaws stage four diagnosis into almost five years of additional life was the incentive to choose ‘Fred’s Team’ as her charity because it exclusively raises money for Memorial Sloan Kettering. In July of 2017 O’Connell, mom to three busy young children, began a moderate training schedule. Between July 17 and Nov. 3, she ran a total of 450 miles, running weekdays at 5 a.m. and saving her two-to-three hour long runs for Saturday.

Through her social media account, family and friends, the St. Aidan school community and a big paint night during the summer of 2017 Mrs. O’Connell got pledges for almost $5,000 for Fred’s Team and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. As the Marathon date approached, O’Connell brought shared her plans with the students at St. Aidan’s and shared the app which would allow everyone from the school to track her progress in real time and know exactly where she was throughout the entire 26.2 miles. O’Connell set a goal to finish in four-and-a-half hours and achieved it with a 4:25:12 finish time despite the rainy weather. The Monday following the marathon, O’Connell arrived at St. Aidan’s to posters, pictures, cards, flowers and lots of excitement from the students. She used the opportunity to share how amazing the experience was and how important it is to set your goals high and never give up. They loved seeing her medal and she even wore her finisher jacket to school that day. “It was truly amazing to share the experience with all of them!” said O’Connell.

Post to showcase top high school artists Three students from local high schools in Nassau and Suﬀolk County are being recognized and honored by the LIU Post Art Department during the “Advanced Visions 14: High School Artists of Excellence” exhibition." All of the participating students were selected by their teachers to represent their schools in the exhibition, which recognizes the superior work being done by high school students in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and Portfolio Preparation art programs across Long Island." The exhibition will be open from Dec. 11 through Jan. 24 in the Student Art League Gallery, on the main level of the B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library building on the Post Campus of Long Island University. Three students are recognized with Juror’s Awards. Casey Goldstein, a student from Half Hollow Hills High School earned

an award for her digital print, “Age Translated into Wisdom.” Goldstein’s art teacher is Allyson Uttendorfer. " Meghan McCarthy from Floral Park Memorial High School earned an award for her mixed media piece, “What’s Inside.” McCarthy’s art teacher is Sydell Glasser." Sehjin Kim from Paul D. Schreiber High School earned an award for her oil painting,"“Mirrors.” Kim’s art teacher is Miranda Best. “This year’s work is an excellent example of a wide selection of media, yet there is a coincidental and beautiful content theme in many pieces,” Cristina Lomangino, exhibition coordinator, remarked. “It is evident that each piece is personal to the artist and conveys real talent in form at such an early age.” A reception with an awards presentation will be held Wednesday, Jan. 24 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Awards will be presented at 7 p.m."

Blues Traveler to play The Paramount Few can think back to the music and pop culture of the ’90s and not recall Blues Traveler. The high school garage band that formed in Princeton, N.J. in 1987 went on to record Top 40 hits including “RunAround,” “Hook,” “But Anyway,” and “The Mountains Win Again.” Combining blues, psychedelic, folk and Southern rock, the band is known for their improvisational shows and use of segues in their live"performances that helped inspire the jam band scene of the 1990s. Currently, the group comprises singer and harmonica player John Popper, guitarist Chan Kinchla, drummer Brendan Hill, bassist Tad Kinchla, and keyboardist Ben Wilson. Tad Kinchla and Wilson joined the band following the death of

original bassist Bobby Sheehan in 1999. In March 2012, Blues Traveler released a double-disc compilation titled 25 on Hip-O Records. "The album commemorated the band’s silver anniversary and included their hit singles, new covers, and previously unreleased b-side material. Blues Traveler’s most recent release, Blow Up the Moon,"is their twelfth studio album and came out in 2015. Now celebrating their 30th anniversary tour, Blues Traveler will perform at The Paramount on Saturday, Jan. 27 at 8 p.m., along with Nashville rock band Los Colognes. To purchase tickets to the concert, go to www.paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

The Cradle of Aviation Museum will host a book signing and lecture by Jeﬀrey Kluger on his new book, “Apollo 8: The Thrilling Story of the First Mission to the Moon” on Wednesday, Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. Kluger will discuss his book, which highlights how diﬃcult NASA’s demanding moon landing objective was at a time of political and cultural upheaval. !The untold story of the historic voyage to the moon that closed out one of our darkest years with a nearly unimaginable triumph, as well as the past, present, and future of NASA’s Apollo program, will be a part of Kluger’s lecture. Publishers Weekly has said the following about the book: “In spare yet vivid prose, Kluger… captures the nostalgia and excitement of a ‘space-

drunk nation’ in this gripping account of the first lunar mission.” In August 1968, NASA made a bold decision: in just sixteen weeks, the United States would launch humankind’s first flight to the moon. Only the year before, three astronauts had burned to death in their spacecraft, and since then the Apollo program had suﬀered one setback after another. Meanwhile, the Russians were winning the space race, the Cold War was getting hotter by the month, and President Kennedy’s promise to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade seemed sure to be broken. But when Frank Borman, Jim Lovell and Bill Anders were summoned to a secret meeting and told of the dangerous mission, they instantly signed on. “Apollo 8” takes read-

ers from Mission Control to the astronaut’s homes, and from the test labs to the launch pad. The race to prepare an untested rocket for an unprecedented journey paves the way for the hair-raising trip to the moon. Then, on Christmas Eve, a nation that has suﬀered a horrendous year of assassinations and war is heartened by an inspiring message from the trio of astronauts in lunar orbit. And when the mission is over after the first view of the far side of the moon, the first earth-rise, and the first re-entry through the earth’s atmosphere following a flight to deep space the impossible dream of walking on the moon suddenly seems within reach. The full story of Apollo 8 has never been told, and Kluger does it justice. A! science and technology editor and journalist at Time magazine, Kluger is well known for co-authoring “Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13” that was made into the 1995 film, “Apollo 13,” starring Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon. This event is part of the Cradle of Aviation Museum’s Countdown to Apollo at 50, a multiyear program that seeks to stimulate enthusiasm about space exploration among children and young adults as the 50th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing approaches. The Cradle of Aviation Museum is located at Charles Lindbergh Blvd. in Garden City. For information and reservations, call 516572-4066 or go to www. cradleofaviation.com.

Spray features being installed at Clinton G. Martin Park Pool, set to open in June. North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth announced that the Clinton G. Martin Park Pool renovation project is on schedule and the pool is on track to open June 2018. The groundbreaking for the pool renovation started in June 2017.

The main pool’s foot print is remaining the same, including all swim lanes. Infrastructure of the pool and its internal components (pumps filters, etc.) will be replaced and the locker rooms will be renovated. The new design will also include more shade areas, spray features for the kiddie pool, a wa-

ter slide and a recreation room. “As we check in on the progress of the pool, it’s very exciting to see it take shape,” Bosworth said.! “I am looking forward to watching the continuing progress and of course the completion of the project in time for the 2018 pool season.” Gramercy Group, the contractor working on the project, has completed the demolition of former infrastructure. They have also installed new electrical wires, site lighting, tennis court lighting and pool structures including a slide basin, wading pool and spray pad.! In the coming weeks Gramercy Group will be focusing on interior work at north and south buildings, along with pool mechanical room. Interior work includes, but is not limited to framing, carpentry, pulling electrical wire, pool work in basement, HVAC and more.

cifically on liver cancer. “The current treatment wasn’t working in the long term, and it was one of the largest mortality causing cancers,” she said. Kim said she was shocked when a friend informed her she was a semifinalist during orchestra!class. “I didn’t believe it at first, I thought no way because we felt our project wasn’t good enough,” she said. “It was surprising and I was so happy.”

G.N. schools reverify students The Great Neck Public Schools is currently undertaking the annual process of residency re-verification for all students entering ninth-grade in September 2018 to collect documentation that will assist in assembling students’ records for high school and verify that all students who enter the district high schools are residents of the district and thus entitled to attend. Parents/legal guardians of all current eighth-grade students were recently sent a mailing that explains the documentation required and the method for submission. Additional information may be obtained by phoning your child’s middle school (441-4500 for North Middle, or 441-4600 for South Middle), or by going to http://

www.greatneck.k12.ny.us/ GNPS/Pages/reverification.htm for “Eighth-Grade Re-Verification” on the district Web site. Re-verification must be completed before a current eighth-grade student will be admitted to high school. Early submission of the necessary documents will facilitate this process. Therefore, all families with a current eighth-grader are urged to submit the required documents before Thursday, Feb. 15. The Board of Education considers residency to be an important component in confronting the district’s fiscal challenges. Re-verification is one tool to insure that every child who is being educated in the district’s schools is entitled to that education.

Congregants push for prison reform

PHOTO BY AMELIA CAMURATI

Doug Van Zandt, left, and his wife, Alicia Barraza, spoke about the death of their son Benjamin in solitary confinement Continued from Page 22 “Within two hours, [the police] had a written confession out of him, and he did not really understand his Miranda rights,” Barraza said. “He realized he had a problem, and he thought they were there to help him with his mental health. He didn’t realize that was a confession that would be used against him, and it was used against him.” A report in the Albany Times Union said he set fire to an unoccupied home. Benjamin was sentenced to four to 12 years in the New York prison system, and after years of transfers, sexual assaults and gang violence, Van Zandt said, the Office of Mental Health decided Benjamin did not have a mental illness and took him off his medications. “The coup de gras was they accused him of fighting, which was just not that kind of person at all,” Van Zandt said. “They put him into solitary confinement, and within a few hours, he hanged himself. “I cannot tell you how important the HALT Act would be to pass and to severely limit what the corrections officers and docs can do to inmates in solitary confinement. It truly is torture, and I plead you to talk to your state representatives.” The HALT Act is a New York bill co-sponsored by 71 state Assembly members and 23 state senators, including Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) and John Brooks (D-Massapequa). Deroche encouraged attendees to write and call Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill) about the act, which would limit solitary confinement to no more than 15 days, create rehabilita-

tion units for inmates prone to violence, prohibit the placement of members of vulnerable populations in solitary confinement

and increase training for corrections oﬃcers. Casella said the exhibit, which was founded in Illinois eight years ago by a group of artist activists who were corresponding with inmates at the now-defunct Tamms Correctional Center in Illinois, was originally designed as an organizational tool to educate the public on solitary confinement. The group began corresponding with inmates, sending letters and poetry, but the inmates wanted something more visual. “Some of the guys in Tamms were writing back and saying, ‘We love the poems and letters you’re sending us, but we want some pictures. We can’t see anything in here,'” Casella said. The exhibit features copies of images requested by prison-

ers in solitary confinement in Illinois, New York and California, and Casella said the most interesting pieces are the actual request forms, often imploring the volunteer photographers to show inmates their hometowns as they look now, places they’ve never been or images of the inmate themselves photoshopped outside the prison walls. “We want to continue to

use this as a way to organize people around this issue, especially people who have never really thought about this before and maybe have preconceived ideas of especially what people in solitary are like, because they must be the worst of the worst,” Casella said. “Then you see someone who says, ‘I would like a wooded scene with a doe and twin fawns. Thank you so much

for doing this. I’ve been in here since 1983.’ “You can’t look at that and not realize that a person is more than their worst act. He’s been in prison a long time, and he probably did something pretty bad, but he also is a person who wants to see a doe and twin fawns. That kind of connection is what we hope viewers will take away from this show.”

Trump’s Haitian remarks draw fire BY R E B ECC A K L A R On the eighth anniversary of the earthquake that devastated Haiti, state Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages had a message for President Donald Trump, who reportedly called Haiti, El Salvador and some African nations “shithole countries.” “What the president said was ignorant and intolerable,” Solages, an Elmont Democrat who is the first Haitian-American elected to the Assembly, said at a news conference on Friday at the Central American Refugee Center in Franklin Square. “And he owes the citizens of Haiti, Nigeria, El Salvador and all the [temporary protected status] countries an apology.” The president’s alleged comments were made during a meeting in the Oval Oﬃce last Thursday with lawmakers regarding how to protect immigrants from these nations, The Washington Post and other news organizations reported. Trump denies he said those words. “Never said anything derogatory about Haitians other than Haiti is, obviously, a very poor and troubled country,” Trump tweeted on Friday. “Never said ‘take them out.’ Made up by Dems. I have a wonderful relationship with Haitians. Probably should record future meetings – unfortunately, no trust!” Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages (D-Valley Stream), the first Hatiian-American elected to the county Legislature, said Trump’s alleged remarks prove that his campaign slogan of “Make America great again,” really translates to “Make America white again.”

Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages said President Donald Trump owes Haitians an apology after he allegedly called Haiti and other nations “shithole countries.” During the same meeting, Trump said the United States should accept more immigrants from countries such as Norway, The Washington Post reported. Carrié Solages, who is Michaelle Solages’ brother, said he is asking everyone not to condone Trump’s alleged statements or justify them by saying “Oh, he said that for economic reasons, or he said that because those countries are poor.” “We must call them for what they are,” Carrié Solages said. “And those are racist statements.”

Lafazan presses opioid campaign Continued from Page 6 “In times of great crisis comes great opportunity,” Chassman said. And the opportunity to truly take on the opioid crisis may have finally arrived for the Nassau County Legislature. DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) said she proposed legislation last year that would have put posters in each pharmacy that said: “opiates can lead to addiction.” The Republican-led Legislature never called for the bill to be voted on. But DeRiggi-Whitton now feels that things are diﬀerent, that oﬃcials would no longer try to hide that there was a problem, she said. “I think [County Executive] Laura [Curran] is more open to

these types of situations… everything I know about Laura is that she cares about the young people in this county,” she said. ” And [Presiding Oﬃcer Rich Nicolello] mentioned in his inauguration speech that drugs and opioid addiction were one of his four major concerns.” As a mother, she said, she was especially concerned about how addiction seemed to prey upon young people. “My daughter broke her foot and [the pharmacy] gave us a huge bottle of painkillers,” she said. “We left it in her room and I didn’t think twice about it … that could make the diﬀerence. I was lucky. She didn’t feel like she needed to have them while other parents have had to deal with that.”

Carrié Solages said there is a legal solution to this problem – the creation of an inspector general for immigration policy on the federal level. Carrié Solages said he has sent a letter asking all of the federal representatives in the state, including Sen. Charles Schumer, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Rep. Tom Suozzi and Rep. Kathleen Rice, all Democrats, to support action by Congress to create this position. “The president has proved himself to be biased and incapable and unfit in being impartial,” Carrié Solages said.

In a statement, Suozzi called the president’s comments “awful, inappropriate, unpresidential, irresponsible and demoralizing to so many people.” In response to Trump’s remarks, Rice simply tweeted “Racist.” Anthony Scaramucci, a Port Washington native and Manhasset resident who was briefly White House communications director last year, tweeted that Trump is far from racist. “@potus is not a racist. He is far from it. Perhaps the least racist,” Scaramucci tweeted. “Apparently he and I are the only two people that use a few curse words here and there. Certainly journalists don’t talk that way. Who knew we lived in such a puritanical society!” It was not just Haitians attacked in Trump’s alleged statements, and it was not just the Haitian-American Long Island community that united to denounce the remarks. Members of the Nigerian and Salvadoran communities represented their communities at the news conference. Maryse Emmanuel-Garcy, a community organizer with Haitian American Family of Long Island, said that “enough is enough.” “I refuse to hear somebody tell me maybe he meant this and that,” said Emmanuel-Garcy, who came to the United States 48 years ago. “Growing up here on Long Island I know what it is when racist is at the door.” Emmanuel-Garcy said she is calling on elected oﬃcials to get to know the Haitian-American community better and not to just “use us when you need votes.”

Feinstein spinal cord study Feinstein Institute for Medical Research Associate Professor Ona E. Bloom uncovered that white blood cell genes are present at diﬀerent levels in people with spinal cord injury. These findings, published yesterday online in the “Journal of Neurotrauma,” are a first step to understanding and developing better interventions for infections in people with spinal cord injury, which is the leading cause of death in these individuals." There are an estimated 17,000 new traumatic spinal cord injuries each year in the United States and approximately 353,000 Americans living with spinal cord injury. Despite advances in acute and chronic care, the life expectancy for individuals with spinal cord injury is significantly below those who do not have spinal cord injury. Infections are the leading cause of death for persons with spinal cord injury, who are more than 80 times more likely to die of sepsis than individuals who don’t have a spinal cord injury. The molecular basis for infection susceptibility in persons with spinal cord

nal cord injury often experience chronic inflammation. Our discovery of the diﬀerence in genes in white blood cells in individuals with spinal cord injury could oﬀer us additional insight into the cause of this susceptibility, which could eventually lead to new interventions.” Bloom and her lab collaborated with Northwell Health colleagues Dr. Adam Stein, chairman of the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, and Dr. Peter Gregersen, director of the Robert S. Boas Center for Genomics and Human Genetics at The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. Bloom, Dr. Stein and Dr. Gregersen are professors at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell. The study was funded by the Craig H. Neilsen Foundation. Bloom and her colleagues will continue this work by examining how specific types of white blood cells from people with spinal cord injury respond to infectious challenges.

Village needs to scrutinize developments

n the case of the proposed road into the three-acre woodland, there are a few factors on which you will base your decision, one of which is the overarching issue of safety. From beginning to end, from entrance to turnaround, the private road is unsafe, and the attempts to adjust the public road, Clover Drive, to accommodate the introduction of a private road render the public road unsafe as well. The applicant’s attorney is zealous in reminding you that you are deciding only the Estates’ portion of the private road as it emanates from the public road in your village. His reminder carries an incorrect implication: that you bear no responsibility for what happens on the cul-de-sac road and its turnaround that are beyond the pencil line across the road where the village of Great Neck Estates ends and the other village begins. Consider this metaphor: The road beyond the pencil line is an acetylene torch waiting to be lit. That torch is connected at your end to the tanks, the supply of acetylene and oxygen. Without the tanks, the torch cannot ignite. Great Neck Estates will be, forever, the source of that private road, tanks to torch. Safety, in the developer’s application, is entirely subject to What-If: What if the New York State Fire Code allowed the 80-foot culde-sac turnaround oﬀered by the developer instead of the 96-foot turnaround mandated by law. What if the New York State Fire Code had anticipated the

cynicism that would conceive of a make-believe 96-foot turnaround. What if the New York State Fire Code, the law on fire safety, had legislated that front lawns bordering cul-de-sac turnarounds could double as roadway (so skimpy, inadequate turnarounds seem adequate on paper). What if the buyers of the properties bordering the cul-desac turnaround could be persuaded to purchase their homes with the restriction that they would agree to never plant trees or place impediments on their front yards (leaving eight feet on lawns and driveways available as part of the roadway and in readiness for an unexpected onrush of emergency vehicles). What if no-parking signs are placed on one side of the cul-desac roadway. What if no-parking signs are placed on both sides of the cul-de sac roadway. What if the residents on this private road and their guests and service contractors never park in violation of the no-parking signs. What if they all park in violation of the signage but only one emergency vehicle is summoned at a time and it is able to maneuver past vehicles parked illegally. What if, since there are no sidewalks, neighbors and friends walking in the road are eternally without jeopardy. What if, in the absence of sidewalks, all pedestrians walking in the road are nimble and able to hurry out of the way of vehicles. What if the village adds a two-way stop sign on the public road outside the private road. What if the village adds a three-way stop sign.

What if the village also adds a sign warning of upcoming stop signs (one, two, three). What if the sight lines for Clover Drive traﬃc are adjusted. What if the wall that is there were not there, or lower. What if the homeowners’ association for the 11 households in charge of the future private road proves to be cooperative, compliant and sanguine, never blaming Great Neck Estates for what ails the cul-de-sac dwellers after a storm, after a fire. What if the homeowners’ association never appeals to Great Neck Estates to accept the private road as a public road to figure out how to plow it, how to make it safe. What if the trustees take at face value the lawyers’ advice that Great Neck Estates will be blameless for whatever disaster occurs on the part of the cul-desac beyond the village’s pencilline border on a road allowed and approved by the Estates. The developer is asking you to whittle away at your expectations for safety. There is suﬃcient acreage and the proposed private road could have been wider, could have been bordered by a sidewalk on each side leading to a turnaround whose dimensions were not a shell game, not an 80-foot diameter pretending to be 96. Had safety guided this application, multiple emergency vehicles could have come and gone at the same time (as they often are called upon to do in an emergency) without the myriad obstacles built into this application.

Park had at least 45 fire companies respond. I was there. I saw the assembly of vehicles and manpower, the helmeted firefighters working in shifts, the helicopter overhead. That threat to the safety of village homes exemplifies why there is no excuse for haphazard, improvised measures to compensate for a flawed plan and a road you have to make excuses for.) Meanwhile, a crucial requirement for safety seems to have slipped out of sight: the need for an alternate access. This proposed private road has a hairpin entrance from the public road and a burdensome length. Surely safety necessitates another way in and out. On the evening of Dec. 11, 2017, at your hearing, the developer’s spokespeople readily made tiny concessions one after the other in the hope of soothing your greater concerns about safety. The attorney also oﬀered the selling point that the houses will have sprinklers, an obvious distraction from the fact that firefighters and their apparatus will be stymied on this private road and in the woods around it. Sprinklers are not a substitute for fire trucks, ambulances, and the skilled personnel they bring. As to the developer’s pavers, they were grow-through in the earlier application to the Village of Great Neck, intended as both roadway and front lawns. Now, at Great Neck Estates, the proposed pavers are not growthrough, an attempt to mask their dual purpose. Two illustrations: My neighbor, a landscaper, decided to denude his front yard and start over because it had too many weeds. During the last growing season, his front lawn was a tract of dirt. I don’t refer to it as his dirt, and neither does he. We call it his lawn. Similarly, the private property owners on the proposed cul-de-sac will view the pavers on the rim of the 80-foot

turnaround as their front lawns. The homeowners will reclaim the pavers, their lawns, and that mythical extra 16 feet of the turnaround will disappear because it was never there to begin with. The turnaround will be too small for firefighting apparatus. Take a look at Redbrook Road between Gay and Gilbert. There is a section of sidewalk that acquired a grassy overlay. That nongrow-through sidewalk looks like lawn, and the pavers around the rim of the proposed cul-de-sac turnaround will revert in a similar manner, leaving the turnaround to its actual and insuﬃcient 80foot diameter. For millennia, the peninsula’s watershed was untouched. Dwellers here for hundreds of years built around its perimeter and did not disturb its purpose, respecting the intricate nature of a watershed. Disrupting a watershed whose outflow extends to Udall’s Mill Pond and the bay beyond will prove irreversible. To build the private road and level the acres in the watershed for houses, the developer will move tons of earth with unpredictable consequence to the well being of the community. A reminder. The representative of New York State and its Fire Code, Courtney Nation, declined, in writing, to give support to this application. The applicant in this matter has a history of litigiousness (recall, among other things, his short-lived lawsuit against two specific members of the Planning Board of the Village of Great Neck, the two females on the board of five). Don’t let him make you quail. Have the courage to stand together to safeguard the community you were elected to serve. Rebecca Rosenblatt Gilliar Great Neck

Business&RealEstate

What defines ‘cream of the crop’ realtors? I have had many, many realtors work with me over the years and I have noticed that there are attributes that are unique to those that I would label “Top Producers.” They have a specific way of doing business and are always accountable for their actions in whatever venue they may be in, whether it be working for a seller, investor, purchaser, renter or lessee of residential or commercial properties. They exude that special something that enables them to attract and connect to people in a way that most cannot; they are able to develop rapport and sometimes long term relationships and friendships with their clients! Some of my best and closest friends were my customers and associates from many years ago. That’s one of the reasons that I truly am passionate and have a love for my business. I find every day is diﬀerent and I discover new and exciting situations to explore, search out and be able to solve issues and problems by relying on industry professionals, contractors, expediters (they do the paperwork to resolve violations, permit and C.O. issues), lawyers, bank attorneys, mortgage brokers and bankers, title companies, etc. and finally at the end, coming to the closing table to reap the earned rewards and at the

same moment knowing you have done a exemplary job and that all sellers and purchasers are satisfied and happy with my results of the services that I have provided. The testimonials that we receive online on Zillow.com and Yelp.com and Li-RealEstate.Com are a testament to the way we go about doing our business, one customer at a time. Another characteristic of a true successful professional broker or salesperson, is that he or she wakes up each day with a positive attitude, because attitude determines their altitude, when it comes down to their achievements on a daily basis. As I have mentioned in a previous article, Phil’s 6 P’s are: proper, planning, prevents, piss, poor, performance! We strive each day to practice this concept, some days we may fall oﬀ the wagon, that’s only human, but as we say, tomorrow is another day for improving and excelling and moving forward to be a better Realtor! Remember Babe Ruth “The Babe” hit 714 home runs, without any drugs or enhancements in less games than all the rest in baseball history, but struck out 1,440 times to attain that monumental achievement! Top producers will never follow the crowd, because the crowd is generally misinformed, ignorant of the many facts that they need to

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

know, understand, absorb and apply in real estate. There is a saying “practice makes perfect”, but you have to believe this in your heart and soul in order to perform and be exceptional and stand out from the crowd. Showing up is 90 percent of the battle and that is what we do everyday! I remember on Aug. 1, 2015, I rented a home to Sir Michael Caine in Sands Point. It was the ultimate compliment to me and our company that he (and his brother-in-law) chose us to find him a home for just 28 days, while he shot a movie in Williamsburg and Bethpage. The eﬀort that was exerted was over the top, but then again, when does one get that kind of

opportunity, once in a lifetime, maybe? I went through several homes after figuring out and pinpointing their exact needs and wants for their short-term rental. The story is a bit long, so I won’t get into at this point, but you can always call me and I will tell you briefly what had happened to get to the satisfying and successful ending. Another crucial habit that is attached to a top agent, is to disclose all necessary and required information whether it be to their client seller, customer purchaser or investors. Too much is hidden, disguised or candy coated today, because the truth hurts and sometimes you, as the agent, might not make that deal, but the sellers, buyers or investors, won’t be hurt either and the honesty and respect that one will gain, will go a very long way to earning & receiving future referrals and new business. The old adage is, “honesty is your best policy.” Unfortunately today we are inundated with misinformation as well as inaccurate as well as truthful dialogue too. But many times it’s challenging to decipher it all through all the noise and confusion; and one must search near and far to find those that will do the “right thing.” It’s a rare quality, to find those individuals and companies, that

will step up to the plate and who will perform and live up to the expectations of a professional, regardless of the outcome. However, one will grow a massive following of believers and rock solid clients and customers near and far when the business is constantly striving to improve and fine tune itself, to provide top notch services to the public! When your broker provides the necessary support and training as we do, then the impossible for most becomes possible in becoming the best you can be, a “top producer.” Believe me, it doesn’t happen overnight, but it can occur at a faster pace, if you gain the knowledge, absorb, perform, practice and apply those things that make and keep you at the top of your game and perform at his or her optimum, day in and day out.

LED questions remain for VGN residents

n Sunday, Jan. 14, I attended a meeting at Great Neck House concerning the civil liberty and health issues regarding the recent installation of LED streetlights in the Village of Great Neck. The Nassau County Chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union presented a program dealing with the new technology known as “Smart Cities,” which includes installations like our streetlights; others spoke about potential health hazards of these powerful night lights. While there was not an overflow crowd, enough people came, listened, asked questions and made comments for me to conclude that there are still many urgent and unresolved concerns about the wisdom and safety of installing these lights on all our village streets. Growing up in the village, I learned early on from my parents, the Great Neck public schools and

my own experience, that the elected oﬃcials who govern us, including our local mayor and board members, are meant to be “public servants.” I was taught that their job is to learn and respond to the needs and wishes of their constituents as best as they are able, and to strive to maintain and improve all of our lives. This clearly requires regular dialogue and working together in order to make decisions that benefit and often aﬀect everyone. Today, unfortunately, the actions of most politicians do not appear to reflect the needs and desires of those they govern. Rather, their actions more often appear to reflect their own needs and desires and those of their wealthy donors. # What was once public service has largely become self-service, with power and money frequently in the forefront. At the meeting, one of the pre-

senters asked if the mayor or anyone representing the village was present. Someone answered that the mayor was invited but declined to attend, and that there was no one present representing the village. # This was shocking to most of us in the room and I believe that village residents are owed an explanation. The new LED streetlights that have been imposed on all village residents clearly have some very serious potential problems associated with their use that should be addressed directly to all residents. Why hasn’t that happened? The mayor has said that this has occurred at many Board meetings. However, it is a simple fact that most village residents do not attend B\board meetings and what’s worse, to my knowledge and experience, most residents are totally

uninformed about the LED streetlights and their potential significant problems. It is never a good sign when so many people are angry, upset, and worried, when they feel excluded and even helpless, wondering why oﬃcials elected to serve us are not carrying out their obvious responsibilities. #I saw all of this in many of those at the meeting. I believe that the residents of the village deserve much better. #I suggest that the village hold an open meeting, apart from a regular board meeting, which is made known to every resident of the village. Invite experts on both sides of the issue and give them a reasonable but limited time to express their views and respond to questions. There are many questions that came up at the meeting that have not been answered suﬃciently for all village residents and should be addressed immediately.

As a result of the Jan. 14 meeting, many more people are now disturbed by what they have learned about the new LED streetlights and it is evident that all of us deserve attention, complete answers and action that will reflect the will of an informed majority. As things stand, the situation will obviously get worse unless the mayor and board take action to better inform and reflect the will of the people of the village, many of whom elected them to oﬃce based on the belief that they would best serve the village and all of its residents. So far, that does not appear to be the case and, in my opinion, this situation needs an immediate correction. Thank you in advance to the mayor and board for anything you can do to help.

17 alleged MS-13 members charged Continued from Page 1 More than 22 agencies were involved in the seven-month investigation, spanning the local, state, and national level, including the Nassau County Police Department, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Drug Enforcement Administration and Homeland Security investigators. The investigation led to the prevention of least least three homicides, including one in Nassau County, and the discovery that MS-13 was distributing $1 million worth of heroin, Singas said. The “Hollywood” and “Sailors” leaders allegedly reported to and sent proceeds to gang leaders in El Salvador, according to a news release from the district attorney’s oﬃce. “The people we have arrested and charged are people that are operating at a very high level and directing operations at a lower level to many more gang members,” Singas said. “Their leaders are gone and charged and we are hoping they are dismantled, and we’ll continue to make sure that happens.” Two of the defendants, David Sosa Guevara and Victor Lopez, were allegedly involved in the July 21 murder of 15-year-old Angel Soler in Nassau County, according to the news release.

Victor Lopez is one of 17 alleged members and associates of MS-13 gang to be indicted on Thursday. Soler’s mutilated body was found on Oct. 1 in a remote wooded area in Roosevelt with cement poured over it, according to the news release. Lopez, the first of the 17 alleged members to be arraigned, pleaded not guilty, according to Newsday.

The “Hollywoods” and “Sailors” expanded their reach from Long Island and allegedly conspired to commit three separate murders in Nassau County, Elizabeth, New Jersey, and Prince George’s County, Maryland, according to officials. These plans were stopped by the combined efforts of the law enforcement departments involved, according to the news release. The alleged Nassau County murder was planned to take place on July 19 in the Freeport area, according to the release. Kevin Cuevas Del Cid and Augustine Benitez allegedly conspired to lure a victim into the woods by promising marijuana and then allegedly intended to kill him, according to the news release. “This is one of the biggest takedowns we’ve had, in this office certainly,” Singas said. “But more importantly this investigation has given us information we didn’t have before and will help lead our way … to taking down more [MS-13 members].” The MS-13 gang aims to gain control through violence, Hunt said. “Today we took that control away from them,” he said in a statement.

North Shore residents protest Trump Continued from Page 13 It also came as Congress wrangles over possible legislation for people brought to the United States illegally as children. They were previously protected under Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, before the Trump administration decided to rescind it in September and give Congress six months to act on the issue. “North Shore Action condemns the language used by the President, as well as the closing of our borders to immigrants based on oﬀensive categories such as re-

ligion, race, political or economic situations,” the group said in an email with a subject line quoting Martin Luther King Jr.: “We cannot stay silent when leaders use racist and divisive language.” A previous political demonstration in Great Neck occurred after events in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white supremacists protesting the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue clashed with counter-protestors. One, Heather Hyer, died after white supremacist James Fields Jr. drove his car into a crowd, according to the authorities. David Zielenziger, who organized the

previous Great Neck event and attended this one, said “it was time” for another demonstration because of Trump’s recent remarks. When asked what he believed King, who he saw when protesting the Vietnam War in 1967, might have said, Zielenziger referred to King’s ideas of “love your enemy” and nonviolent protests. “I think King would say we’ve got to go to the streets and not be silent,” Zielenziger said. “Silence in the face of overt racism is wrong. It’s outrageous.” Steven Weinberg, the mayor of Thom-

aston, attended the event with his two sons. He said he came to protest some of the Trump administration’s policies, including its reported willingness to divide families to discourage illegal immigration, and teach his sons democratic values. “I never thought I would see a time in our country where I would have to say, ‘what did I do when that occurred,’ and this is that time,” Weinberg said. “When you hear hatred, racist remarks, divisiveness, erosion of the rule of law, rules and norms of our democracy, you have to stand up and speak out.”

Harley-Davidson dealer alters NHP plan Continued from Page 1 ing the draft scoping document, said Charles Voorhis, an environmental planning consultant helping the board through this process. Another public hearing will be held to discuss the revised document. There were two major opposing points made by residents – those who said the dealership would bring too much noise to the village, and others who think it will increase the value of the neighborhood. John Gervais said he would like the board to take into consideration the cumulative noise when reviewing the dealership’s impact. “Yes, we have the trains, but also multiple planes and helicopters,” Gervais said. “I’d like to be able to play outside with my children without constant, constant, constant noise.” Debbie and Thomas Wojcik said they deal with noise every day living by both garbage transfer stations, which they said were not there when they moved in 35 years ago. “It’s not all farm here anymore,” Thomas Wojcik said. “Any business you put in there is going to make noise. I would rather have a national business like this

who you could talk to.” Others, including John Brown, said that the dealership would raise the value of the neighborhood. He added that bringing a national chain in will bring a continuous flow of business that will help local businesses, including pizza parlors, delis and bagel shops. “Changes must occur in this village for it to stay vibrant,” Brown said. Michael Polfeldt said it is important to consider what could end up there if the Harley-Davidson dealership is not approved. “It could be a 7-Eleven. You want that?” Polfeldt said. “Is it really that bad?” He added that it is “nonsense” for anyone to think the dealership would attract hard-core bikers. The general audience for a Harley-Davidson dealership is middle-aged, white-collar people, Polfeldt said. Hard-core bikers would be “laughed out of the club” for going into a dealership to buy a new bike, he said. “It’s like saying you don’t want a BMW dealership because a lot of drug dealers and thugs like BMWs because they’re stylin’,” he said. The board adjourned the meeting and will review the comments made.

Charles Voorhis, an environmental consultant working with the New Hyde Park board, explains the draft scoping review process at a public hearing for the proposed Harley-Davidson dealership. Members of the public can continue to submit written comments to the clerk’s oﬃce until 4 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 26.

Beach Rd. residents object to student lot BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Two residents came before the Great Neck Board of Education to object to a 97-stall student parking lot for North High School on Thursday, saying they “never anticipated” the level of disruption it could bring and that the schools did not properly inform Beach Road residents. The lot in question, a $652,000 part of the $68.3 million revised bond voters approved in May, would be at the corner of Beach and Polo Road. It was bundled into a package, which trustees presented to the public, of critical infrastructure repairs and educational building enhancements assembled by a special committee. Jessica Jacob, an obstetrician living on Beach Road, highlighted the beauty of the neighborhood and how being “surrounded by nature” helped her wind down after a long day. Now, she said, trees are being chopped down as a huge parking lot is being created for high school seniors. “There are places for them to park – I don’t think we need to turn over this beautiful green

Ruth Gebay, a Beach Road resident, said the student parking lot project will be of more harm than good to the immediate community. area,” Jacob told trustees. “It will change the whole quality of our immediate neighborhood and I would so appreciate consideration being made to change this plan.” Great Neck Board of Education President Barbara Berkowitz thanked her for her comment.

Ruth Gebay, another Beach Road resident, said the creation of this parking lot is also creating an unsafe environment. She said there is plenty of space at the Parkwood parking lot, the new parking lot will aggravate already present water issues on their block, and it incentivizes “reckless drivers in

expensive cars” going around the area. She also noted “dark transactions” going on in the area where people are “exchanging packages.” “When we voted for the bond, we wanted to make it better for our schools,” Gebay said. “We never anticipated that the parking lot is going to be so disruptive to our own personal environment and that the board would make those decisions without even consulting the neighborhood and the people on the block.” “It’s a huge expenditure that could go towards school and finances and education, instead of going to a parking spot that is a luxury,” she added. Dr. Teresa Prendergast, the superintendent of the Great Neck Public Schools, said the schools have security patrols but she wants to “find out if there are any specific concerns.” She and Berkowitz recommended that anyone seeing any questionable actions on school grounds call security at 4414911. School board members and administrators have previously defended the decision to include the new parking lot, say-

Moms lead gun safety group to form Nassau County chapter Continued from Page 4 rally or creating signs for other volunteers to hold. Moms Demand Action volunteers also regularly reach out to elected oﬃcials, Burns said, adding that the group is not partisan and supports “legislators on either side of the aisle who support common sense gun law.” Burns said that on Long Island, the representatives are supportive of the group’s cause, specifically noting U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice and U.S. Rep. Peter King. While New York does have strong gun laws, Burns said, the problem lies in the porous borders between states. “Our strong gun laws don’t keep guns from coming over from states with weak gun laws,” Burns said. Of the 52,915 crime guns recovered by New York law enforcement between 2010 and 2015, about 75 percent were handguns, according to the New York state

attorney general’s office. Only 14 percent of the handguns originated in New York, while 86 percent were purchased out of state and crossed state borders, according to the office. Opposing H.R. 38, or the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017, is one of Moms Demand Action’s top priorities right now, Arnone, the community outreach lead, said. The bill, which passed the House in December and is expected to be voted on in the Senate this spring, would allow anyone with a concealed carry permit from one state to carry a weapon into another state. The bill is backed by the National Rifle Association, which Burns said has a lot of money and influence over legislators. " Burns said Moms Demand Action is in a David and Goliath situation, facing off with an NRA that has a 30-year head start on the grassroots organization.

“In spite of that, [we’ve] always been very sure in the end we’re going to prevail because what we’re seeking is common sense change,” Burns said. “And you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to say gun violence in America is out of control.” For Jimmy Dougherty, the Nassau County legislative lead, being part of Moms Demand Action is a way to be “part of the solution.” He said being a member “changes your whole world.” “You can sit and watch TV, I can watch MSNBC … or do this,” he said. “Instead of just complaining and feeling frustrated I’m working towards something. There’s no frustration when you have a goal, however slowly it is getting us there.” Dougherty also has no problem being the token male of the group. Despite the group’s name, Burns said, the group is open to all members, be it fathers, wom-

en without children or anyone else interested in fighting for the cause. Though, Dougherty joked, he’s not so sure he wants more men involved. “We have a saying, in this [group], ‘I’m man enough to be a mom,’” Dougherty said. “And I said, ‘I’m mom enough to be a man.’” Dougherty said he would like the group to reach out to a broader range of people, though. Currently, the group’s members are predominantly educated, middle to upper-class white women, he said. He said when he does run into African-American women in Moms Demand Action T-shirts, they’re often survivors. “We’re missing a broad perspective,” Dougherty said, adding that is one reason the first Nassau meeting will be held in Uniondale, a more diverse area, to encourage participation from

They have also said it reflects a reality that many of the students drive and have jobs, and that restrictive village parking regulations cannot be changed to alleviate the issues.

the community. Ultimately, Moms Demand Action is about educating the public on common sense gun laws, Arnone said. One initiative, the BE SMART campaign, which stands for secure guns in homes and vehicles, model responsible behavior, ask about unsecured guns in other homes, recognize the risks of teen suicide and tell your peers to be SMART, seeks to educate parents about safety precautions. For example, the program encourages parents to ask the parents of their children’s friends"before play dates about guns in homes, just as they would ask about food allergies. Arnone said she would like to take the BE SMART campaign to schools in Nassau County. Burn said BE SMART helps the group’s aim to “change the conversation about gun violence,” so people are comfortable talking about it and lawmakers are listening. “We are just parents trying to keep our kids safe,” Burns said. “And everybody, no matter your politics or your beliefs about guns, you don’t want your kids or communities to be unsafe. Nobody wants that.”

She received a master of social work with concentrations in program planning, administration and research from Stony Brook University and also holds a B.A. from Binghamton University. Earlier in her career, Bynum was the Director, Program and Adult Development at the Girl Scouts of Nassau County. She also worked at the Girl Scouts of the USA, where she was responsible for the implementation of The Dove Self-Esteem Fund corporate partnership and the development of the Girl Scout/Dove Self-Esteem Program. In her role at the Girl Scouts of the USA, she coauthored the acclaimed workbook “Dove’s True You! – Sometimes I Feel Ugly and Other Truths About Growing Up.” “I am thrilled to be back at GSNC as your new CEO and delighted to see how this council has grown and changed,” Bynum said. “Over the last 25 years, I have been fortunate to work with the Girl Scouts of Nassau County and Girl Scouts of the USA, in addition to other organizations focused on empowering youth and bringing families closer together. I believe girls thrive by having a place to build courage, confidence and character where they can learn skills that will last a lifetime.”

As the midway point of the LIU Post women’s basketball team’s season approaches, the women have taken control, with a record for all games of 10-5. Head Coach Deirdre Moore is pleased with the team’s recent success. “One of the biggest keys for us has been defense; basketball is a long season and there will be injuries but the fact that we have a lot of options and a lot of people that are playing for the team really has helped. The girls have really put a lot of focus on trying to be better on 1 on 1 and full-court pressure.” The team defeated Queens College, 69-54, in their first game of the new year on Saturday, Jan. 7, to make their record in the East Coast Conference 5-0 this season. Before the Jan. 7 game started, Moore said, “Queens College can put the ball in the basket and we’re going to have to defend to win this game.” The Pioneers started off strong as they led 19-9 at the end of the first quarter. Fifth year senior Kristen Olsen scored the most points, with a total of 15 points throughout the entire game. Just like Moore planned, the Pioneers defended and towards the end of the game, in the last 20 minutes, the Pioneers took a 20-point lead. With the win, the Pioneers hope to continue their unblemished ECC re-

cord for the rest of the season. “Obviously we want to be ECC champs but I think a big goal for us is to get better game by game and not look too far into the future and practice hard every day,” fifth year senior Kylie Garrett said. The Pioneers are practicing throughout their winter break and are focusing on the rest of the season to become ECC Champions. Although Moore emphasized the team’s strong defense, the Pioneers have scored an above-average 70.2 points per game this season. Before each game, the team practices their opponent’s play style. For Jan. 12 game, Moore said that they will be working on their three-point shooting because Daemon College has very good three-point shooters. “I think we’ve been playing well because we have been locked in and more focused on our defense,” Mikaiya Moore, a sophomore forward from Amityville, said. “From our press in the beginning, all the way to the defensive rebound in the end, we’ve put a heavy focus on getting more and more defensive stops and of course converting them into scoring on our end.” The Jan. 12 game against Daemen College will start at 6 p.m. in Amherst.
