Thousands vote in G.N. library trustees race

SCARY FUN

Hu, Sontag, Sassouni win seats in divisive, ‘unprecedented’ election BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

Mimi Hu, Scott Sontag, Chelsea Sassouni and Josie Pizer claimed victory in Great Neck Library Board of Trustee elections Monday night after an unusually divisive and active race. The race drew high turnout for a library election: 2,147 ballots cast on machines, plus nearly 200 proxy and “emergency ballots.” The voting line snaked around the Main Library throughout the day, with some voters reporting waits between half an hour and an hour and a half – and a handful reading books. “This is unprecedented,” Great Neck Library Director Denise Corcoran said. Hu, who faced a write-in challenge from Qiping Zhang, won her race 1,248 to 688 and will serve a four-year term in what is currently!Great Neck Library Board President Robert Schaufeld’s seat. There were! 205 “under votes” – meaning a voter went for neither candidate. “I think people really cared about a lot of issues that are in-

volved and I’m truly thankful to my friends and supporters because they worked so hard today,” Hu said, noting she was “very surprised by the turnout” and “very happy with the result.” Hu also said that she is “ready to learn” new things and listen to the community because the “best ideas are always in the community.” Zhang did not immediately respond to a request for comment after the results, but posted a statement on WeChat saying she was “feeling great,” thanking her supporters and calling for unity. “Let’s grow out of this campaign, put all the negativity to the end, and create the unity at an elevated level,” Zhang said. “We all love the libraries, we all love the community, we love everything about Great Neck. And we want everyone to be happy.” Sontag, meanwhile, unseated Schaufeld 909 to 489 and will finish Francine Krupski’s term, which is January 2019 to 2020. In that race, 718 people chose neither candidate and 25 people cast write-in ballots. “I think that the election came Continued on Page 82

N. Shore stands with synagogue victims BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN For countless North Shore residents, a mass shooting in a Pittsburgh congregation more than 400 miles away was an attack on them all. On Saturday, a gunman stormed into the Tree of Life Synagogue, killing 11 people

and wounding six others during Shabbat celebrations, making it the deadliest attack against the Jewish community in American history. The suspected gunman, Robert Bowers, 46, who was later apprehended, reportedly told one oﬃcer: “They’re committing genocide to my people. I just want to kill Jews.”

The event has shaken many on the North Shore, which many Holocaust survivors and their descendants have called home. But it also sparked unity, with thousands of people attending memorial ceremonies to remember the fallen – yet press on. Hundreds of people recited prayers together at the cavernContinued on Page 65

Legislature OKs Backlash prompts 6th Precinct’s return MedMen review $800K designated for partial reopening in 2019

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

BY T E R I W EST The county Legislature unanimously passed an amendment Monday for the partial reopening of the 6th Police Precinct on the North Shore, according to the Democratic minority caucus. The amendment designates $800,000 in funding for the reopening, part of a $1.6 million bundle to reopen the 6th and 8th Precincts. The 6th Precinct is currently part of the 3rd Precinct after they were consolidated in 2012, a cost-saving move that sparked community protest and led to efforts by politicians and community groups to restore the precinct. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran did not include funding for the precinct’s reopening in her 2019 county budget, citing a shortage of detectives and a need to be fiscally restrictive because the the Nassau Interim Finance Authority has oversight over the budget. In an interview last week, she remained confident that reopening the precinct was the wrong decision. “Opening these precincts, it sounds to me like an empty gesture,” Curran said. “Not only are we in a control period, we do not have enough detectives for actual squads.” The number of patrolling police officers would not change with the reopening of the precinct, she said. Legislator Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said he is not sure why she is taking a position that is so different from the entire Legislature’s. “As a legislator and candidate she strongly advocated for reopening the precincts. The NIFA control period is irrelevant,” he said. “The expenditure for partial reopening of both

MedMen, a medical marijuana company which was seeking to relocate a dispensary to Manhasset, is reviewing its options, a representative for the company said at a contentious and crowded North Hempstead Town Board meeting last Thursday night. “Thank you to everybody,” Landon Dais, a former political aﬀairs manager representing the company, told board members and meeting attendees. “And I will say, based on community feedback, we are revisiting plans and reviewing our options.” In an interview, Dais and Daniel Yi, MedMen’s senior vice president of corporate communications and investor relations, said that they are happy that the community is having a dialogue about marijuana but that there is a lack of education about it. “It’s the responsible thing to do to weigh out the options because we want to be good neighbors,” Yi said. “At the end of the day we want to be respectful of the residents’ issues. Having said that, what’s apparent to us is there is a lot of education that still needs to happen within the Manhasset community.” Residents flooded the boardroom and hall immediately outside it as the town prepared to set a public hearing date of Nov. 20 for two

laws seeking to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries. The two proposed amendments to the zoning code would restrict a medical marijuana dispensary from operating in a retail environment, town oﬃcials said, while restricting dispensaries from opening in close proximity to schools, houses of worship and residential areas. “We’re really going to see everything we can do,” Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth told a room full of residents. And if oﬃcials “face a lawsuit,” Bosworth continued, “bring it on.” The proposals came in response to MedMen’s seeking to relocate a medical marijuana dispensary from North New Hyde Park to what is now a Sleep Number mattress store at 1575 Northern Blvd. in Manhasset. MedMen currently has four facilities in New York, including one on Fifth Avenue in New York City. This facility in Manhasset would be in addition to a medical marijuana dispensary in Carle Place, bringing the total to two in Nassau County – both of which are in the Town of North Hempstead. “To prevent our town from becoming Nassau County’s dispensary destination, the board, in a bipartisan agreement, proposes amendments to the town zoning code that Continued on Page 82

Dems need new leadership: Rice BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Democrats need to adopt new leadership and an agenda to help the American people, Rep. Kathleen Rice (D-Garden City) said Friday, while working across the aisle to solve problems. Rice, who is seeking her third term as the representative for New York’s 4th Congressional District and facing a challenge from Republican Ameer Benno, said national Democrats have largely failed to communicate an agenda that appeals to the average voter and goes beyond being “anti-Trump.” The 4th Congressional District includes much of southern and central Nassau, including Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Westbury, Carle Place, Lynbrook, Freeport, Hempstead, Bellrose, Bellmore and other areas. “In any other walk of life, if you presided over a losing season or losing quarter, you’re gone,” Rice said in a sitdown interview with Blank Slate Media. “Heavy is the head that wears the crown and we should have made a leadership change back in 2010.” “Anyone in a leadership po-

sition in the Democratic Party right now on the national level has some responsibility for the diminished state of the party. Period,” Rice added. Rice said that while she believes Democrats are in “lock step” with most voters on social issues such as reproductive rights and LGBTQ rights, she said it’s mainly “the economic message that Democrats fail at.” One example she gave was a tendency for Democrats to say they would raise taxes. “That’s not a winning strategy for the economy,” Rice said. Rice said that there needs to be more conversation on how the federal government is going to invest in infrastructure and job training for jobs of the future. Rice also said that many voters in her district have voiced concerns about gun violence, health care and whether people with preexisting conditions can still get quality health insurance coverage. Additionally, Rice advised seizing the president’s message on tax cuts for the middle class, as well as raising the federal minimum wage and reforming entitlement programs so they last. “I think we have to raise the

Kathleen Rice (D-Garden City) talks about infrastructure, the economy and the Trump administration in a sitdown interview at the Blank Slate Media office. water for everyone to succeed,” Rice said. “A lot of that has to do with putting more money into regular people’s pockets like us, not rich people or corporations.” On the issue of health care, Rice said she has worked with a group of bipartisan lawmakers to tweak the Aﬀordable Care Act. Among the solutions were adding an auto-enrollment component with an opt-out option to get more healthy people in the system and maintaining costsharing reduction payments, Rice

said. Rice said she would “possibly” be behind a public option, but that proposals like this and like Medicare for All need to be studied. “These are things that we should be talking about, but this issue of health care has become so politicized that people are not having actual discussions about the viability of universal health care or Medicare for All or whatever kind of system you want to come up with,” Rice said.

On Social Security, Rice said the age should be raised to 67 and the cap on income taxed should be increased. Rice also took issue with the Republican leadership, including Paul Ryan, the speaker of the House. She said that bills fixing the Aﬀordable Care Act, addressing gun violence and DACA – or deferred action for childhood arrivals, which allows some people brought to the U.S. illegally as children to defer deportation and apply for work permits – “would have been passed,” but have not been brought to a vote. “If he didn’t get the support of the Freedom Caucus on those bills, he wouldn’t put them on the floor,” Rice said. Additionally, Rice said, the Senate’s intelligence and judiciary committees have been weaponized into “political machines” for the administration. “I hope that people see that it’s important for there to be checks and balances, but I also think it’s important for Democrats to put out an agenda in the event that we take the majority,” Rice said. “What are our priorities going to be?” Continued on Page 83

Childhood pals named Herricks top 2 BY J E D HENDRIXSON

Long before the pair were named the top two students of their graduating class at Herricks High School, Eish Maheshwari and Sahith Vadada became friends in sixth grade. “We both went to diﬀerent elementary schools,” Vadada, the salutatorian, said. “Then each of us moved to Herricks in fourth and fifth grade and slowly integrated into the Herricks community,” Maheshwari, the valedictorian, said. “Then we became really close friends in sixth,” Vadada said, “We’ve helped each other through projects and classwork and it was always a collaborative eﬀort.” Though Maheshwari’s and Vadada’s grades place them at the top of Herricks’ academic heap, both students boast laundry lists of extracurricular and volunteer accomplishments. Both Maheshwari and Vadada are National Honor Society members, National Merit semifinalists, National AP Scholars, President’s Volunteer Gold Award recipients and awarded science research students. They both volunteer at local hospitals, Maheshwari at Winthrop and Vadada at North-

Neither Maheshwari or Vadada has any particular school in mind yet, but they are applying to various Ivy League schools and medical programs with interests in careers in surgery. Maheshwari"has co-authored an internationally published book on sarcoma, attends the Columbia University Honors Science Program every Saturday and was named a 2018 Intel International

Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) grand award fourth-place winner in translational medicine, receiving a special award from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia along with a scholarship. “I was able to collaborate with students from all around the world on a variety of topics,” Maheshwari said about the ISEF, his fondest memory at Herricks. “It was a really interesting experience, to be a part of that community of people with identical goals.” Vadada and two of his research partners earned Siemens

Science Competition Regional finalist distinction last year and he later represented the team at the Junior Science and Humanities competition. For three summers, he spent time in India volunteering at rural health centers. Traveling to Boston for an academic conference and an orchestra trip to Disney were" favorite experiences for Vadada," who plays viola. “It was really fun enjoying the time with my fellow musicians,” Vadada said. “We didn’t just have to play our music, but we got to experience Disney.” In his free time, Vadada enjoys practicing his viola and playing basketball. He also played junior varsity and varsity tennis at Herricks. Maheshwari is a tae kwon do black belt and teaches at White Tiger Tae Kwon Do in New Hyde Park. When he isn’t volunteering, studying or participating in research, he enjoys practicing and performing card tricks. “I started a while ago when I just got a deck of cards from my parents,” Maheshwari said. “I would perform at family parties and it’s really fun because it’s so complex, there’s so many things you can do and amaze people.” Both said that what they

would miss most about Herricks is the community and diversity the school promotes. “The community network here is so strong,” Maheshwari said. “All the teachers support you and your friends, and moving on from such tight-knit relationships is going to be the hardest.” On advice for students entering or attending Herricks, Maheshwari and Vadada championed involvement. “Give everything a try,” Maheshwari said. “Don’t be afraid that some club isn’t cool or your friends aren’t joining it. “Don’t be afraid to break out of your comfort zone. After that it’ll be easier to do again and you’ll be able to find your best fit, which is what high school is all about.” “In the beginning you should try and experiment everything,” Vadada said. “You should never limit yourself to a certain number of activities. “Whatever interests you, you should pursue that. You shouldn’t do something just for how it looks on a resume but because of your interest. That’s what Eish and I have done the past few years. We’ve followed what interests us and that has led us to achievement.”

Every day we make lots of choices and decisions that can impact our health. Some decisions involve what we eat, where we eat, what we drink, how we get to school or work and how we spend our free time. With overweight and obesity aﬀecting so many of our youth today, parents and caregivers need tools to help establish good habits that can have a lasting impact on their family’s health.

Phillips outspends, outraises Kaplan GOP incumbent passes $1M in fundraising in race with strong implications for Senate control BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

State Sen. Elaine Phillips (RFlower Hill) continues to hold a financial edge over North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) in the state Senate District 7 race, according to financial disclosures filed with the state Elections Board on Friday. Records show Phillips topped more than $1 million in contributions, at $1.05 million, and Kaplan has gotten around $456,000 this year. Phillips has also vastly outpaced Kaplan in spending, the records show, $882,379.11 to $180,655.29. Chris McKenna, a Phillips campaign spokesman, said:! “This latest report once again shows the continued very strong support for Sen. Phillips and the good work she’s done delivering for the people and the communities of the 7th Senate District. We look forward to closing strong in this campaign and continuing to explain to voters all the results she’s delivered on.” Tess McRae, a Kaplan cam-

Also among Kaplan’s biggest donors are Maiden Lane Properties LLC in Lake Success, real estate developer Nader Ohebshalom, legal firm Harras Bloom & Archer, the Mason Tenders District Council of Greater New York, Vote/Cope, the political fundraising arm of the New York State Union of Teachers, and Andrew Cuomo 2018 Inc.

The campaign’s biggest expense was payroll and wages, records suggest, with $38,078.59 going toward Paychex of New York LLC. The second-biggest expense is spending with the Parkside Group, which has provided $32,190.33 worth of polling and campaign literature. Another large expense is with the New York Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, the records show, with $24,400.80 being spent with the group for postage. Continued on Page 67

Impact absent from assessment notices Legislators from both parties criticize taxpayer mailing only showing tentative value BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Nassau County residents are starting to receive a notice stating their property’s fair market value and tentative assessed value as determined by the county’s property reassessment, the first one in seven years. What it won’t include is an estimate of the property’s tax impact after the assessment. County Executive Laura Curran, the driving force behind the reassessment process, used a legal loophole to include as little information as possible in the disclosure that Nassau is required to send out by state law. The move was criticized by members of both parties in the Nassau Legislature, including Presiding Oﬃcer Rich Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park). “One of the most basic responsibilities of government is to tell residents what their taxes are,” Nicolello said in a statement. “The notices sent by the Assessor fail this basic responsibility. We will do all that we can to make sure the Administration provides taxpayers with the information they need to protect their rights.” According to Nicolello, the notices are required by New York state law when there is a reassessment of properties. This notice is required to include old and new market values, old and new assessment and the impact on property taxes caused by the assessment.

Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) said, it was not a smart one. “People not knowing at all might be even worse than delaying it,” she said. “I know the assessment office is understaffed, and that happened under the previous administration. But if that was the plan, it’s not a good one.” DeRiggi-Whitton held a tax workshop last Thursday where many residents expressed their frustration and confusion over what their property tax would look like. But she did not have the answers. “That was one of my hardest days as a" legislator,” she said. “The [Curran] administration should have slowed this process down … updating the tax rolls is the right thing to do, but this is the wrong way to do PHOTO BY DANTD VIA WIKIMEDIA COMMONS it.” But a spokesman for the Curran administration said officials were always planning The Nassau County Legislative and Executive Building is seen in Mineola. on sending out the second notice, according There are two exceptions to this rule: demanding that the Curran administration to Newsday.

Mail still delivers in social media age BY LU K E TORRANCE According to a Nielsen report, the average American spends 10 hours each day looking at a screen, which includes televisions, computers, tablets and smartphones. But campaign workers said that often the best way to reach voters was with technology older than computers, television and even the radio: through the mail. “With direct mailers, you can target down to the person,” said Kim Devlin, the campaign manager for Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), who is running for reelection in the 3rd Congressional District. Former Nassau County Comptroller Howard Weitzman said there was no better way to reach voters. “I think an intelligent direct mail campaign is the best way to get people’s attention,” he said. “If you do an intelligent campaign that is thought out and continuous — not just one thing, but a campaign that hits on two or three things —!that’s very eﬀective.” There has certainly been no shortage of mailers, as North Shore residents can attest.

Weitzman said mailers are popular because they can be sent only to voters who would consider voting for a candidate. “It’s much more eﬀective than television, where you have to pay for everybody to see it when you only want a certain a percentage of them to see it,” he said.

Medical careers day at NHP Memorial BY J E D HENDRIXSON Students at New Hyde Park Memorial High School filled the gymnasium to learn about more than 50 different careers in medicine Friday. “We kind of began this program with the idea of teaching students that there are so many other careers in health care other than doctors and nurses,” Alexa Freel, community relations coordinator for Northwell Health and Long Island Jewish Medical Center, said. “This gives a whole different dynamic to everything Northwell has to offer.” Freel helped plan and organize each line of work that students encountered. Tables lining the walls and in the center of the gym included emergency medicine, nutrition, nurse practitioners, security, risk management, social work and surgery, among dozens of others. Northwell Health is New York’s largest private employer, providing jobs to more than 50,000 people in 2017, according to a ranking from independent research firm CGR. Sadad Mohammad, a ser-

Despite enjoying his work, Mohammad told students that he transitioned into working on patient experiences to give back. “I found that the experience

was more gratifying,” Mohammad said. “In doing this, I can make sure that people’s needs are being heard and they won’t be hesitant the next they need to go to the doctor.” Darius Davis, a senior at the high school, said that the event was a nice change of pace from

others. “Talking to all of the professionals gives more of an immersive experience,” Davis said. He said he was interested in pursuing a career in health care management after graduation. His family is heavily involved in the health care industry, but Davis has interests of his own in business and would like to merge the two worlds, he said. Students, upon entering the gym, were handed a “career passport,” a full list of the diﬀerent career booths with space for a signature next to the name. To encourage students to engage, those who spoke to at least 10 representatives were entered into a prize raﬄe. Richard Faccio, the high school principal, said his students barely needed the motivation. “If you hold an event like this somewhere else, you might see students congregating and not getting involved,” Faccio said. “But here all the students are talking to people and want to be a part of this.” Faccio said that as someone who came from the realm of

business prior to teaching, he recognizes that partnering with Northwell for the event was a phenomenal opportunity for students. “Because Northwell is such a large organization, they have the ability to give us career options that most places couldn’t,” Faccio said. “It gives kids an opportunity to see that there are other career fields in the medical field and what steps they require after school.” Julie Yeh, a clinical coordinator for organ donation, explained her job to students to dispel misconceptions about organ donating. A common misconception is that religions don’t support organ donation, but no religion expressly condemns it, Yeh said. There is often no cost for donors’ families and no one is ever too old to donate, Yeh said. “This is my favorite program that we do,” Michael DePace, regional director of corporate community relations for Northwell, said. “If we can change the lives of some kids, in their trajectory for where they want to go in their career, then I know that we made a diﬀerence.”

Herricks test scores high in state, nationally

BY J E D HENDRIXSON Herricks students’ test scores have again placed the district on the map as one of the top school districts statewide and nationally. K. Elizabeth Guercin, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, told the Board of Education last Thursday that Herricks students again ranked in the top 1 percent of schools in the nation when presenting the year’s Student Achievement Report. “Recognition nationwide certainly says something about who we are as a district,” Guercin said. U.S. News & World Report ranked the Herricks school district 348th in the nation and 47th in New York, while Niche ranked the district 34th nationally and 7th in the state. Guercin’s 33-page report showed improvements across several assessment tests, including standardized tests, AP exams and the ACT exam. Guercin cautioned the board that as a result of the state’s new two-session test design and performance standards, the 2018 third- and eight-grade English language arts and math results shouldn’t be compared with prior year results. Comparisons will pick back up in 2019, Guercin said. Despite the warning, Guercin said most areas showed continued improvement, particularly the district’s Regents scores.

Herricks students pictured with the Board of Education in recognition of school board week. Some 81 percent of Herricks 2017 graduates left the school with a Regents diploma with advanced designation, among the highest rates for Long Island districts. One area of struggle that board Trustee Nancy Feinstein identified was the mastery level for common core algebra 2 in the district. Guercin said that the test itself is fairly diﬃcult, but scores have improved from 18 percent mastery in 2016 to 42 percent in 2018. In longitudinal AP data, Herricks saw increases in both the number of students enrolled in AP classes, 750, and total exams administered, 1,892. Seventy-eight percent of students posted scores of three or higher on the exams, with some eligible for college credits. Board Vice President Brian Hassan said that the high exam scores were a credit to the administration and teachers for the huge eﬀort that goes into

continuing to improve already high scores. Alexandria Battaglia, a CPA, presented the findings of the district’s annual financial report. Battaglia said the district’s finances were in great shape and issued an unmodified opinion, an auditor’s best possible endorsement. “Over all we were very pleased with this year’s audit and will present a corrective action plan for any internal improvements,” Battaglia said. The board voted unanimously to accept the 2017-18 financial report. In honor of school board recognition week, students from the high school sang the national anthem for the board and presented members with gifts for their voluntary service to the district. “I’m grateful for our Herricks community,” Nicholas Capelle, a senior representative of the student government, said. “And thankful to the board for their support.”

Includes much of southern and central Nassau, including Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Westbury, and Carle Place Kathleen Rice versus Ameer Benno Kathleen Rice would be the clear choice to be re-elected for a third term even if House Republicans had not abdicated their constitutional responsibilities to provide a check against an executive branch greatly in need of investigation and oversight. But given that failure, beginning with their eﬀorts to thwart any meaningful investigation of Russia’s attack against this country election system, it is even more critical that Rice be given a third term and a Democratic majority with which to serve. To her credit, Rice, 53, joined fellow Democrats in filing a lawsuit against Trump accusing him of violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which restricts members of the government from receiving gifts,"emoluments, oﬃces or titles from foreign states. We agree with Democrats in Congress and others that the

clause prohibits Trump-owned businesses from accepting payments from foreign governments. The need for House members to investigate the president and determine whether conflicts of interest exist with foreign countries such as Russia are further underscored by Trump’s reaction to the recent gruesome murder of"Jamal Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to the Washington Post and resident of the United States, at the hands of Saudi Arabian agents. But Rice is no knee jerk party member along for the ride. She is outspoken in her call to oust Nancy Pelosi as House Speaker should the Democrats reclaim the majority as well as other members of the House and Senate’s sclerotic leadership that in recent years has failed to lead. Rice, a Garden City resident who served three terms as Nassau County district attorney, has also established clear priorities for next term beginning with gun violence, health care and immigration.

She supports universal background checks, preventing those on the no-fly list from buying guns and a ban on assault weapons. This weekend’s shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue" oﬀered the latest proof of why that ban is needed. Rice has also expressed a commitment to forging a bipartisan majority to work on those issues as well find fixes for Obamacare, protect Dreamers and provide border security. Rice’s position as ranking member of the homeland security

subcommittee on counterterrorism and intelligence has given her an important perspective on the infrastructure needs of the region as well as the critical need to protect the country from cyberattacks. Rice is opposed by Republican Ameer Benno, a Bellmore resident and civil rights lawyer whose father came from Israel. Benno said the investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller into Russia’s attack on our election system and the possible" involvement of the Trump campaign should have ended after “a year

tops” and that prosecutors should train their focus on Hillary Clinton. Enough said. But we will go on. Benno also said he supports defunding “sanctuary cities,” erecting a wall on portions of the United States-Mexico border and pulling out of the Paris climate accord. He also declined to say how he would have voted on the"Republican tax bill, which capped the state and local tax deduction at $10,000. Blank Slate Media endorses Rice.

Tom Suozzi versus Dan DeBono

Elaine Phillips versus Anna Kaplan

Like Kathleen Rice, Thomas Suozzi would be the clear choice to be reelected even if House Republicans had not abdicated their constitutional responsibilities to provide a check against an executive branch greatly in need of investigation and oversight. But given that failure, beginning with their eﬀorts to thwart any meaningful investigation of Russia’s attack against this country’s election system, it is critical that Suozzi be given a second term and a Democratic majority with which to serve. Unlike Rice, Suozzi, 56, did not" join fellow Democrats in filing a lawsuit accusing the Trump administration of violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which restricts members of the government from receiving gifts," emoluments, offices or titles from foreign states. For a candidate who ran for Congress based on what he said was a record of fighting “powerful interests,” we found this very disappointing. Suozzi, a Glen Cove resident who served as Nassau County executive from 2001 to 2009, has maintained that he wanted to focus on his work with the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in developing common-sense solutions. We believe he could have done both. And if Republican counterparts found his support for holding the president accountable for conflicts" of interest in his handling of foreign policy unacceptable, then his attempts at outreach were not worth the price. Suozzi acknowledges that the Problem Solvers Caucus did little more than build trust thanks"to the Freedom Caucus" " — a group of conservative House Republicans — that prevented popular bills like background checks for gun purchases from reaching the floor. But Suozzi has been far more successful in focusing on problems on Long Island and, in some cases, finding solutions. He brought attention and then money to remediate the Bethpage plume, clean Long Island Sound, improve the Northport VA Medical Center and bring a mobile VA medical unit to North Hempstead, and cut" helicopter traﬃc over Queens and Nassau. He has also wisely pressed a research corridor on Long Island focused on life sciences and aerospace. Suozzi said he supported universal health care “academically” but said that “the devil is in the details” and that it would need a lot more work before he could support it. He said he was opposed to the Trump tax cut.

The race between Republican Elaine Phillips and Democrat Anna Kaplan may not just decide who will represent the state Senate’s 7th District, but could also determine which party controls the Senate. So in making our choice for the seat, we assessed whether the district and the state are better served with Democrats in control of both houses of the state Legislature and, in all likelihood, the governorship, or a continuation of the split created by Republican control of the state Senate. We acknowledge that both calculations have pluses and minuses, but believe on balance the best course is to vote for Kaplan. Too often the state Senate under Republican Majority Leader John Flanagan has frustrated common-sense reforms, often by not allowing bills to come to a vote. Flanagan, and before him disgraced Majority Leader Dean Skelos, have over the past 10 years repeatedly refused to allow the Child Victims Act, which would extend the civil statute of limitations to 50 years old and the criminal"statute of limitations to 28 years old for victims of sexual assault. After political pressure was applied this year, Phillips co-sponsored legislation that would have extended the criminal statute of limitations but not the statute for civil penalties. Instead, a system would have been established that would have let organizations that allowed the sexual assault of children to get oﬀ the hook financially – a system we find completely unacceptable. Even then, Flanagan did not allow the proposal to come to a vote. Flanagan has also refused" to bring to the Senate floor an online sales tax that would help create an even playing field for local retailers with online businesses. He has also refused to bring to the floor important anti-corruption legislation that Phillips said she supports which would close the so-called LLC loophole, which allows companies to make virtually unlimited campaign contributions. Even sensible legislation that Phillips deserves credit for sponsoring, which keeps guns away from domestic abusers, was a result of Flanagan’s refusal to bring to a vote a much stronger piece of legislation. That legislation would have regulated bumps stocks and allowed parents, teachers and police to pursue a court order to take guns from people considered dangerous. Kaplan has said she supports the Child Victims Act, the online sales tax, an end to the LLC loophole and the so-called red-flag legislation that allows parents, teachers and police to pursue a court order to take guns from people considered dangerous. Perhaps most important is Philips’ and the Republican majority’s opposition to the Reproductive Health Act, which Democrats say would codify abortion rights protected under Roe v. Wade. Republicans say the legislation goes beyond Roe v. Wade by allowing medical professionals licensed by the state, not only doctors, to perform abortions

Tom Suozzi He said he supported Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem but said there needed to be a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians. We believe the U.S. should have gotten something in exchange for the move such as a curtailment of settlements in the West Bank that could create obstacles to a two-state solution. Suozzi’s opponent is Republican Dan DeBono, 49, a former Navy SEAL and investment banker. DeBono brings an eclectic take on the issues that he says will strengthen middle-class jobs and middle-class wages. He supports building President Trump’s wall along the Mexican border and a reduction in immigration, which he says has held down middleclass wages." He said he also supports Trump’s eﬀorts to renegotiate trade treaties for the same reason and his demands that European countries pay more for their defense. Unlike most people in New York, he said the Republican tax bill will help people on Long Island. But he declined to comment on whether he would have voted for it. Like Trump, DeBono is critical of the Federal Reserve, which he says has caused the dollar to be devalued, but did not oﬀer a solution. Unlike Trump and other Republicans – and more like Sen. Bernie Sanders – he calls for the breakup of large corporations that dominate their fields, beginning with banks and pharmaceutical companies. He also blasts the role of corporate contributions in national elections. Some of these stances are worthy of discussion. Others we strongly disagree with. But what is disqualifying is DeBono’s call for an immediate end to special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in our elections and the possible role of the Trump administration as well as his lack of concern for Russia’s bad behavior here and around the world. Blank Slate Media endorses Suozzi.

Anna Kaplan and providing two additional exemptions to the ban on abortions beyond 24 weeks. If Roe v. Wade is overturned – which is seen as increasingly possible with the confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh – the law in New York would revert back to laws passed 50 years that provide far fewer protections than those provided under Roe v. Wade. Kaplan said she also backed the Reproductive Health Act. During her campaign, Phillips has also emphasized the potential danger of one-party government in New York. She said that in 2009 and 2010, state aid went down $124 million in the district while New York City schools saw an increase. Although the state cuts Phillips refers to took place during a financial crisis, she is not wrong in expressing concern about the possible loss of money to Long Island and the dangers of one-party rule. Phillips has also touted grants and other money she has obtained for the district. A large share of this money is provided by the Senate leadership to fellow Republicans, but not Democrats – a system employed by both parties in both houses. This money disappears from the district if Democrats take the majority – unless" Kaplan is elected. We would hope that a Democratic Senate majority would be fair in allocating money around the state and that Kaplan would an effective advocate for Long Island if for no other reason than wanting to keep the Senate majority and, in the case of Kaplan, keep her job. Phillips, a former mayor of Flower Hill, has been an effective advocate for her district, working well with local and state officials on the third track project, the Islanders’ proposed arena at Belmont and environmental issues. Questions remain about the ability of Kaplan, a North Hempstead Town councilwoman from Great Neck, to work with other officials in a similar fashion. And while we have agreed with her on the issues on which she has taken a stand, Kaplan will need to develop a stronger grasp on some issues to be an effective advocate for her district. We believe she will and, in the long run, the district and the state will be better served with her election. Blank Slate Media endorse Kaplan.

In his first four terms, Ra has moved up fast in the minority conference in the Assembly. He now holds the No. 3 post in the leadership, and before that he was the ranking minority member on the Education Committee. In a chamber dominated by Democrats, Ra has been an effective" advocate for his district,"working across the aisle on education standards and state testing as well as aircraft noise. He opposes consolidation of school districts to reduce costs, but broke with Republican orthodoxy to support" the Child Victims Act, which would extend the civil statute of limitations to 50 years old and the criminal statute of limitations to 28 years old for victims of sexual assault. He opposes the Reproductive Health Act, which Democrats say would codify abortion protections provided by Roe v. Wade. Ra said the bill eliminates references and protections for the unborn and removes abortion from the New York penal law. We disagree with Ra on the Reproductive Health Act, but give him high marks for promoting a nonpartisan state office modeled on the federal Congressional Budget Office to score the impact of pending legislation. Ra is opposed by Billy Carr, 43, an electrician and resident of Williston Park, where he serves as a village

Formula to address the wide disparity in spending between aﬄuent and less affluent school districts. He is opposed by Byron A. Divins" Jr., 47, a Navy veteran and Roslyn attorney, who said his No. 1 focus was school"safety. Divins said he wants voting taken out of schools and armed personnel on every campus. We agree with taking voting out of the schools as part of an overall reform of New York’s election system, but strongly oppose armed personnel on every campus. We also disagree with Divins on a host of issues that match closely to what Republicans in the state Senate support. Divins said he does not support the" Reproductive Health Act, which Democrats say" would codify in state law Roe" v. Wade" protections now threatened by the Supreme Court.

Divins said"he"objected to a provision that would permit" medical professionals licensed by the state to performing nonsurgical abortions. He said people" performing abortions should in all cases be doctors. Divins also said he opposed the Child Victims Act, a bill backed by Democrats which would extend the civil statute of limitations to 50 years old and the criminal to 28 years old to victims of sexual assault. Instead, he said, he supported a bill supported by state Senate Republicans that would have extended the criminal statute of limitations but not for civil penalties. Instead, a system would be established that would have let organizations that allowed the sexual assault of children to get oﬀ the hook financially. Blank Slate Media endorses D’Urso.

Edward Ra trustee. Carr said he considers aﬀordability and the opioid crisis to be the No. 1 issues in his district. He also promised to bring more money in school aid" back from Albany to help make his district more aﬀordable. Carr, who has served as a CYO volleyball coach, said he would seek to keep schools open later to allow more children to participate in sports as a way to combat opioid use. He said he supported term limits on legislators to reduce government corruption, the Child Victims Act and a “red-flag” bill that would allow parents, teachers and police to pursue a court order to take guns from people considered dangerous. We agree with Carr on many issues and believe he would bring a good deal of common sense to the job. But we believe he is lacking in knowledge on too many issues before the Legislature. Blank Slate Media endorses Ra.

Charles Lavine has been a strong consistent voice for Long Island during his 14 years in the state Legislature, and he oﬀers a welcome program for reform going forward. Lavine, 71, of Glen Cove, is poised to move forward with that program in a leadership role that will allow him to bring legislators of both parties together to address shared concerns on Long Island. He is a vocal proponent of ethics reforms, advocating for a full-time legislature," returning investigative power on contracts to the state comptroller and eliminating the LLC loophole, which permits virtually unlimited campaign contributions to state campaigns by businesses. Lavine also backs needed reforms to the state’s voting system, including easier voter registration," consolidation of election days and easy-to-read ballots. He is also a strong proponent of school district consolidation to reduce the high cost of public education on Long Island – and the taxes that go along with it. He voted for gun reform bills that have not made it through the state Legislature, including a “red flag” bill that would disqualify people with domestic violence convictions or protection abuse orders from owning guns. Lavine has also not been afraid to identify Republican obstruction in the state Senate to needed reforms and said he supports legalization of recreational marijuana. Lavine is opposed by Andrew A. Monteleone, 45, a criminal defense attorney from Syosset. Monteleone presents himself as a reasonable person, hoping to bring “con-

Charles Lavine servative blood” to the Democratic-controlled"state Assembly. Like many other Republicans running for the state Legislature, Monteleone"said he does not support the" Reproductive Health Act, which Democrats say" would codify"Roe"v. Wade"protections"in state law. He said he supported legislation to allow abortions past 24 weeks of pregnancy if the mother’s life was threatened – not if the mother’s health was threatened"or if the fetus in unviable. He also said he does not want nondoctors to perform abortions. The Reproductive Health Act would permit licensed medical practitioners to perform them. Monteleone said he likes the Child Victims Act, but not that it expands the civil statute of limitations to age 50. He said he opposed the consolidation of school districts, the legalization of medical marijuana and congestion pricing in New York City to raise money for MTA capital projects. Blank Slate Media endorses Lavine.

THE NEW SUBURBANIST

Squirrel Hill attack an attack on religion

Saturday morning in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh normally involves joggers on their way to Schenley Park, hipsters going for brunch and Jews walking to one of a dozen local synagogues. It was a place that represented American civility. Now it further reveals the ugly new chapter of incivility. I lived in Squirrel Hill in 20032004 while stationed in Pittsburgh as a reporter for The Wall Street Journal covering the global steel industry. It was a neighborhood where my 20-something friends and I would meet at the Squirrel Cage on Tuesday nights to discuss music, film and books. Gentiles and Jews in Squirrel Hill enjoyed the same movie theaters, bowling alleys and bagel stores. It was a neighborhood that seemed pleasant and safe for young people who attended the Yeshiva school next to my apartment building, the older people who lived on fixed incomes in the neighborhood and immigrants from India, China and Africa who come to study at nearby Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh. So it was unfathomable on Saturday when a man whom police identified as Robert Bowers walked into the Tree of Life synagogue in Squirrel Hill, opened fire

with an assault rifle and killed 11 elderly members and is said to have shouted “All Jews must die.” News reports showed us the profile of a hate-filled loner, spewing anti-Semitic thoughts and conspiracy theories online. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette executive editor David Shribman lived three blocks away from Tree of Life. He explained in his column that Squirrel Hill is, “the spiritual center of Pittsburgh Judaism but also a vital landmark in the history of Jews in America, along with New York’s Lower East Side and Boston’s Blue Hill Avenue, one of the vital centers of Jewish identity since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.” Bari Weiss, an editorial page staﬀ member at The New York Times who grew up in Squirrel Hill (and a former colleague of mine at the Journal), noted that Fred Rogers grew up three blocks from Tree of Life synagogue. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin lives nine doors away. “Squirrel Hill functions like an urban shtetl,” she wrote in a column in the Times. Bari’s father, Lou, is a carpet salesman in Pittsburgh who attended Tree of Life and knew some of the victims. “What happened to our wonderful, close community Saturday has now become the business not only of Jews but of all civilized hu-

PAUL GLADER

The New Suburbanist man beings,” he wrote an OpEd in The Wall Street Journal. “The heartbreak will never go away. The best way to honor the people who were murdered would be to emulate their decency and goodness.” It seems clear the shooter was filled with hatred and antiSemitism. Clearly, anti-Semitism is on the rise. And so, it seems, are gun attacks on houses of worship. And why are houses of worship frequently sharing the distinction with public schools as places where crazed gunmen go to unleash bullets in an attempt to wreak fear, death and sorrow? Roughly a year ago on Nov. 5 of 2017, 26-year-old Devin Patrick Kelley walked into First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, shooting up the sanctuary

and killing 26 people. A troubled young man, he was angry at his exwife and her family who attended the church. Also in January of 2017, a gunman opened fire at a mosque at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Quebec City, killing six men attending prayers. In June of 2015, a troubled young Dylann Roof marched into Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, S.C., and shot the pastor and eight worshippers while their heads were bowed in prayer during a Bible study. Roof had imbibed white supremacist thinking and decided to act violently. Surely, some of these tragic events can be explained by mental illness, social isolation, a poorlyevolving digital era where algorithms serve up information pollution to social media feeds. Surely our current political trend toward nationalism is stoking the fire. All of these factors and more seem to be reviving old, ugly strains of antisemitism, racism, scapegoating, violence and hatred for “the other.” Houses of worship are attacked regularly worldwide from Indonesia to Africa. And why? For one thing, places of worship are sources of identity and tradition for people. They are places of learning about sacred texts. They are places

for joy, community and support for one another. Like schools, they are a place of refuge and progress for many. And the world religions, while diﬀering in doctrines and beliefs, share some core principles: peace, forgiveness, toleration of others. Lou Weiss’ words remind me of what the young Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville said during his observational study of America in 1835. “The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults,” Tocqueville wrote. Tocqueville was searching for insights from America that would help inform the democracy that would later take root in France. He saw how religion leads democratic men and women away from narcissistic and materialistic tendencies that are part of more hierarchical societies. And he was right that religion and religious freedom are precious gifts in a democratic society as a source of moral wisdom and goodness. And maybe that’s why places of worship, like schools, are under assault in America. “Liberty cannot be established without morality,” Tocqueville wrote, “Nor morality without faith.” Paul Glader is a professor of journalism at The King’s College in New York City.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

No light in aftermath of shootings

hat can you say, when the events of the day leave you speechless? That, on top of a week that was already a travesty? What can you say, when you turn to our nation’s leader, for some kind of solace or healing remark, and he implies that the coldblooded massacring of your people was your own fault for not posting armed guards, around the clock, on every sanctuary of worship in the nation? Never mind the sheer absurdity of saying that, while bearing in mind that trained, armed and bullet-proof-vest-wearing police and SWAT oﬃcers sustained four injuries after 11 people were murdered. What kind of a country is okay with that? The kind, I guess, that can see 20 little children and six of their teachers being slaughtered on a school day for no reason at all.

Or watch 58 people be slaughtered like video game targets while at a music festival, and another 850 injured. That’s almost a thousand innocent people. For no reason at all. That might make sense in, say, Afghanistan, where tribal factions seem to have been killing each other since ever, with help from too many outsiders. Or in Saudi Arabia, where cutting someone apart with a bone saw is apparently the logical conclusion of walking into that nation’s consulate and asking for paperwork to get married. That might make sense in Israel, where a small country of Jews is indeed literally surrounded by nations full of people who hate them. But this is the United States of America — where people supposedly pledge their allegiance, at the start of every school day and every civic meeting — to a symbol

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side of “liberty and justice for all”: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands: one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

For the past two years, I have wanted to end that pledge with “Amen,” because it feels less like a description or our country, every day, and more like a prayer. Can that flag of liberty and justice be the same one that a mad bomber plastered all over his truck? In between pictures of people he hated enough to put crosshairs on and send bombs to? Is this the same flag which our president professes to love, even as he stokes the hatred and fear which are coming home to roost and tearing us apart? Barack Obama was elected president after declaring his belief that there are no red states or blue states, “only the United States of America.” But recent events put the lie to that. It seems that the haters, in this country, are winning out. They are slaughtering the rest of us. There is nothing funny or light or even encouraging that I can

think of to say, about any of this. I am reduced to prayer. These words come to me from a faith tradition that is not my own, but which moves me nevertheless: “Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.” And from my own tradition, there is a prayer called “Hashkiveinu,” which is a prayer for rest: Give us, oh God, a place to lie down in peace. Shield us from hatred, sorrow and pain Save us, for the sake of your name Defend us from wrongdoing, And guide us with your good counsel. Guard our coming and going, And spread your shelter of peace over all we love. And — I have to add — may it come soon.

KREMER’S CORNER

Wagging the Trump dog at elex time

ne of the best-known ploys before an election is known as the October Surprise. Every candidate hopes that some event will occur that will help them get elected, or distract the voters from their shortcomings. This is a real concept and they even made a movie about the attempt of a president to cover up his sex scandal. Many moviegoers will remember the Robert De Niro movie “Wag the Dog.” In that film a president is in serious trouble for his involvement in a sex caper. He desperately needs to divert the public’s attention and enlists a spin-doctor to create a distraction. They then fabricate a phony war in Albania to get the public to stop focusing on the President’s numerous shortcomings. President Trump has many headaches on his plate. The murder of a journalist who is a U.S. resident in Saudi Arabia, tariﬀs that are roiling the stock market, his plummeting

poll numbers with women and the ongoing Mueller investigation have been giving him migraines for weeks. Somehow, some way, the President needed a distraction and he invented one. It’s the socalled caravan of people from Central America who have been crossing parts of Mexico in the hope of gaining asylum in the United States. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines caravan as a “company of travelers on a journey through desert or hostile regions.” Other books define them as “pilgrims.” In fact, they are a group of poor people seeking to escape violence and corruption in countries such as Honduras. Their only goal is to find a safe home, and America is everybody’s dream destination. Faced with countless issues, President Trump decided that the refugees are a threat to the security of all Americans and labels them the “tool of the Democrats.” Because it sounds

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

good, he says the election should be decided by Kavanagh and the “caravan.” To promote his pre-election fraud he enlists Fox’s Sean Hannity, who immediately labels these poor souls as members of the MS-13 gang. When questioned about the desperate people, he refers to them as the “mob” who seeks to infiltrate into America and attack all of our hard working citizens.

I am no fan of Geraldo Rivera but even Rivera couldn’t stomach the ugliness of Trump’s latest pre-election ploy. He asked Hannity if the group should be “shot at the border” and Hannity backed off. Rivera went on to criticize the President for taking away aid from Honduras as a “cruel” step which will only drive more people out of the country. Hannity won the support of a character named Sebastian Gorka, who was kicked off the White House staff for his incendiary writings and fearmongering. Gorka, himself an immigrant, stated that he too believed that the travelers were all “MS-13 members.” There is no doubt that the closing days of this year’s election have been marked by fabrication after fabrication. The President recently announced to one of his adoring crowds that there will be a massive middle income tax cut in a few weeks. This came as a surprise to every one of the 435 House

and 100 Senate members who have no idea what Trump is talking about. Rattled by polls that show that the Republicans may lose control of the House, Trump is seeking any shiny object that will save him from being blamed for a change of control. Those large groups of women who protested at the Supreme Court during the Kavanagh hearings, are now referred to as a “mob.” Democrats who contradict the president are all given labels that demean them. Somehow, with each passing week, the step from the sidewalk to the gutter gets shorter and shorter for this president. There is no doubt that the caravan seekers will be used as Donald Trump’s only trump card to frighten voters to reject the Democrats. If the Nov. 6 elections leave the Republicans in control of both houses, even fastening your seat belt will not save you from the next two frightening years ahead.

E A R T H M AT T E R S

Talkin’ trash, preserving environment

recently spent five days hiking a section of the Appalachian Trail in Virginia and West Virginia. One day we had a competition as to who could remove the most trash from the trail. The prize was getting the only queen size bed at the hostel that night. The rest of us would be in bunk beds. Although the competition was fierce (not really), what impressed me was how little trash we could collect on the trail. A couple of days later a group of us hiked to Maryland Heights on a trail that is not part of the Appalachian Trail. The trail starts in Harper’s Ferry, W.Va. It is a very popular, wellused trail that ends at the top of the 300-foot vertical cliﬀ overlooking Harpers Ferry. Maryland Heights was the site of the first battle between Union and Confederate troops in Maryland. It changed hands over the course of the war with the Union ceding it to the Confederacy in September 1862 only to regain it four days later after the Battle of Antietam. It oﬀers a spectacular view of the

confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, Harpers Ferry and the land to the west. Unlike my experience on the Appalachian Trail, my initial steps on the Maryland Heights Trail were marred by ubiquitous trash. It was a striking and upsetting contrast to what I had experienced hiking in the woods on the Appalachian Trail for the four days prior. It’s not, I don’t believe, that the Appalachian Trail is maintained any more or any better than the Maryland Heights Trail. If anything, likely the opposite is true. If my experience is any indication, many more people use the Maryland Heights Trail, but why does that necessarily translate to more trash on the trail? Is there some basic diﬀerence of attitude toward litter between people who choose to hike the Appalachian Trail and people who hike the Maryland Heights Trail? Why would that be? If littering is wrong on a city street, it is just as wrong on a historic trail as on a wooded trail.

LYNN CAPUANO Earth Matters

It’s not just that trash on a trail ruins the view. Most trash doesn’t decompose and more than likely will be carried by wind and rain to the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers below. From the river it could then travel to the Chesapeake Bay and on to the Atlantic Ocean doing damage to the plant and aquatic life it passes, slowly breaking into smaller particles and adding to the ever-growing amount of microplastics and trash islands already contaminating our wa-

ters. And, it looks ugly, ruining an otherwise beautiful waterscape, all because individuals were careless and thoughtless and left their trash on the trail. The point, obviously, is don’t litter regardless of where you are and don’t litter regardless of how you’re traveling. Don’t drop your wrapper as you have a snack on the trail and don’t throw your wrapper out the window of the car. It’s such a small thing to ask of ourselves. The payback is tremendous though. A healthier, more beautiful environment we can all enjoy whether on the trail, on the water, or walking down the street. If I may be so bold, I’d like to take the point farther. The title of this column is Earth Matters and that seems self-evident. What should also be self-evident is that individual choices also matter. Your choice to put your trash where it belongs, matters. Lots of choices made by individuals every day matter. They matter to you, to the people around you, and they matter to the earth.

For example, did you know that if a family of four skipped eating one steak meal a week, it is the equivalent of taking a car oﬀ the road for nearly three months? That is a pretty incredible statistic that underlines the impact of individual choices. At this time of year, it’s important to remember the impact an individual vote can have. Regardless of your party or the community you live in, your vote does matter. Please exercise your right and vote. Sometimes it’s hard to know what choice to make, especially to know what is the “environmental” choice. With the internet though, the answer is very often just a click away (or maybe in next week’s column). One choice we all know to make is to clean up after ourselves and to leave a place at least as clean as we found it. So, enjoy your next walk. Whether on a sidewalk or a dirt path, I hope it is trash free. Letters Continued on Page 70

Katz Carpet at 86 continues to grow BY J E D H E N D R I X S ON Harry Katz Carpet One Floor & Home is adding a kitchen and bath section to its Mineola location on Nov. 8. The longstanding business’ continued success and dedication to customers has resulted in the addition, coowner Cynthia Katz Sigadel said. Katz is expanding into a “one stop design store” to serve the community better, she said. “What we’re doing by bringing in the mattresses and the blinds and even kitchen and bath is bringing value to our customer base,” Sigadel said. “We don’t expect somebody to walk in looking for just a mattress, but many of our customers shopping for carpeting may want to replace a mattress and now they can buy it from a reputable place.”

“ n the last five years it’s become huge. People are just liking the look of hardwood and vinyl is coming out with similar looks.” Cynthia Katz Sigadel CO-OWNER

“That’s one thing Harry Katz has always been able to provide,” Sigadel said. “Value.” The expansion with Kiba studios will turn the 3,500-square-foot basement of Katz, for years a storage space, into a kitchen and bath concept studio, which will have its grand opening on Nov. 8. “People want to be comfortable,” Sigadel said. “It’s

more of a home concept than a store, so you’re going to be sitting in a living room or in a real kitchen or entertainment center.” With the Kiba expansion come new products. Among them will be Hunter Douglas blinds, Sigadel said, and the installation team that comes along with

purchase of them. Harry Katz Floor Covering and Appliances opened 86 years ago when Sigadel’s grandparents, Harry and Yetta Katz, took some rolls of linoleum and some ice boxes from Joseph Katz’s furniture store to open. Harry Katz was also a founding member of the Mineola Chamber of Commerce. “Harry Katz Carpet has been a cornerstone of business in the village for decades,” Mineola Chamber of Commerce President Joel Harris said. “The chamber and myself can’t express how pleased we are to know that businesses are thriving and continuing to expand in Mineola,” Harris said. Sigadel’s brother, Gary Katz, has worked at the store for more than 30 years and served for three years as president of the chamber. In 1986, Harry Katz partnered with Carpet One, a floor & home design retailer cooperative with over 1,000 locations today, in order to stay competitive. In doing so, Katz left the appliance business. The basement of Harry Katz was used for appliances until the cooperative partnership in 1986. “The space really hasn’t been utilized,” Sigadel said. Partnering with Carpet One allowed Harry Katz to remain independently owned, but allowed Carpet One to negotiate costs with manufacturers. “[Carpet One] allows the mom and pop stores to have much better buying power within the market,” Sigadel said. “It allows us to compete against the big box stores and our buying power is as big as anyone’s.” One significant change that Sigadel has noticed about the flooring market in her 30 years of experience is the recent demand for hard surface over carpet. “In the last five years it’s become huge,” Sigadel said. “People are just liking the look of hardwood and vinyl is coming out with similar looks.”

DeBono focuses on improving wages BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Political commentator James Carville once remarked that “the economy, stupid” is what matters most to voters, and Republican congressional candidate Dan DeBono agrees. Despite a strong economy, he said that jobs on Long Island aren’t paying well enough. “I would help raise wages and increase employment by doing four things … I would increase competition [for labor], strike better trade treaties, deregulate and help small businesses,” the first-time candidate and former Navy SEAL!said in a sit-down interview with Blank Slate Media on Monday. DeBono is challenging Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) for the 3rd Congressional District, which covers the northern parts of Queens, Nassau and Suﬀolk counties. Improving the Long Island economy also informed his view on immigration. DeBono said that an influx of immigrants has pushed wages down, a view that some economists support but others disagree with. DeBono said he supports a wall on the border. As for immigrants already in the United States illegally, he suggested deporting some of them — perhaps those in the country for less than seven years, although he said the time period would be up for debate — while those who have been here longer could get a path to permanent residence. Those wanting to become citizens, though, would have to go through the citizenship process that legal immigrants are subject to. “I don’t think!that people should be able to jump the line,” he said, noting that his wife emigrated legally to the United States. On the recent tax cut signed into law by President Donald Trump, DeBono said he had mixed feelings. “I support tax cuts in general … but this tax bill was flawed,” he said. DeBono said he would have found a way to not cap state and local tax deductions, which has

Dan DeBono discusses the economy during his interview at the Blank Slate Media office. driven up the cost of living in New York. He said he would have gotten on the Ways and Means Committee and that it “would have been a better bill.” He would not say if he would have supported the tax cuts as is. “The average person is better oﬀ because of this tax bill,” he said. “But … it was too skewed to big money [like corporations].” As for the increase in the national debt caused by the tax cuts, DeBono said it was worth it to stimulate the economy, and debt obligations would be serviced through growth. DeBono also had a bone to pick with the Federal Reserve. “The Fed’s mission right now is to maintain a stable

currency and maximize employment, and they failed at both missions,” he said. He said he wanted to remove the mission to maximize employment, which he called a “pipe dream.” He said the Fed should focus on a stable dollar since the low value of the currency has hurt Long Island residents. A discussion on the Aﬀordable Care Act — which DeBono wants to repeal — brought up one of the major points of his campaign. DeBono said that Republicans have been too willing to do the bidding of big corporations, which he said has hurt competition and wage growth. He said that certain industries have become too concentrated with a handful of companies and that he would push for the enforcement of anti-trust laws to break up oligopolies. “I would do it with financial, I would do it with health insurance … but the first step would be to stop further concentration,” he said, adding he would work to prevent the sale of Aetna to CVS. On international issues, DeBono said the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election has gone on long enough and should be ended, echoing Trump in calling it a “witch hunt.” Instead of Russia, he said the United States should be more worried about China over the stealing of weapons technology. He supported leaving the nuclear deal with Iran and said there should be consequences for Saudi Arabia over the killing of!Jamal Khashoggi. He said that NATO was “great” but added, “we shouldn’t be the only ones paying.” When asked about abortion rights, DeBono said that if Roe v. Wade is overturned the issue should be left to the states, but did say that he was “pro-life.” DeBono finished by discussing the issue of campaign financing. He said he did not accept donations from corporate political action committees. “A corporate PAC is a legal bribe,” he said.

South Middle team builds on positive BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Gina Cartolano was assistant principal for 12 years at South Middle School. Ryan Nadherny was a guidance counselor at North Middle School and chaired South Middle School’s guidance department. Lenny DiBiase taught for six years in the Lindenhurst schools and worked as an assistant principal there for nine. And now the three of them – with Cartolano as principal and DiBiase and Nadherny as assistant principals – said they are bringing a combination of “fresh eyes” and experience to make South Middle School, which is home to more than 700 students, even better. “From my perspective, we make a really nice team,” Nadherny said. “I think we work really nice together, we all bring unique strengths and we’re always there to support each other.” The leadership shift came after longtime Principal James Welsch retired and Brian McConaghy, an assistant principal at South Middle, accepted a job as principal of Herricks Middle School. Cartolano ascended to principal, meaning two new assistant principals were needed. The trio emphasized the importance of social and emotional learning, as well as the importance of ensuring there are opportunities for every student, and said they are always looking to help students feel “a sense of connection” to the school. “We want to have a school where

Principal Gina Cartolano and Assistant Principals Lenny DiBiase and Ryan Nadherney, the new team heading the school, said they are open to new ideas and making the school even better. kids feel safe, where they’re connected and where they’re generally happy to be here,” Cartolano said. “I think we want kids to try things, we want them to find out who they are,” DiBiase said. To build on the “positive culture,” Nadherny said they are trying to spread “positive messages throughout the school” whether it’s through language in the classroom or placing “positive words” in select places in the school. Nadherny also said they’re hoping to expand the Adolescent Advocates program, which trains students “to reduce bigotry and hate” in partnership with the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County, to encompass all

grades in the school. Cartolano said she is proud that South Middle School has been considered a “No Place for Hate” school by the AntiDefamation League and hopes to build on that relationship. The push for a positive culture also involves oﬀering as many programs as possible, Cartolano said, whether it’s responding to student interest in a ping pong club or growing a mindfulness club for students needing to “reduce their stress and anxiety on a daily basis.” “We’re always looking for new ideas, new assemblies, any programs we can bring into the building to just continue with the positive school culture we believe we already have,” Cartolano said.

“But you know what? We can always do better.” DiBiase said one program he is particularly looking forward to is seeing the school’s annual cultural heritage celebration “come to life.” “It’s really a celebration of the cultural heritages of the students,” DiBiase said. “It culminates in a day and an evening of food and fun and culture and then performances by all diﬀerent students.” Something that impressed him about the students, DiBiase said, was that 11and 12-year-olds are running a television studio and putting together programs. Ultimately, when asked what inspires them, the three all had the same answer: the children. “I think the kids really inspire me. You want to do more,” Cartolano said. “These kids are hungry for new ideas. They’re hungry to be challenged.” “And I agree – we’re all in this because of the students, the amazing students that we have here,” Nadherny said, adding that they aim to provide a “safe and comfortable environment” where students can grow, learn about themselves and develop good habits. “You can have bad moments as an administrator. You find out things and you go through things that aren’t expected in a school setting,” DiBiase said. “But we could walk into any one of these classrooms and instantly put the smile back on our face and remind us why we do what we do.”

Dems aim to hold ground on N. Shore BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Democrats across the country are hoping for a “blue wave” on Election Day, where frustration with President Donald Trump will lead voters to cast their ballots for Democratic candidates. On the North Shore, though, many key positions are already in Democratic hands.!The major exception is the 7th state Senate District, which covers the Town of North Hempstead, Floral Park and Hicksville, and is currently occupied by Sen. Elaine Phillips (R-Flower Hill), the former mayor of Flower Hill. Challenging her is Democrat Anna Kaplan, a councilwoman for the Town of North Hempstead. Republicans control the New York Senate with the slightest of majorities: they have just one more senator than the Democrats. A victory in the 7th District would swing the Senate to the Democrats, giving them control of the Senate, the Assembly and the governorship. The Democrats last had control of all three in 2014. Phillips has promoted herself as the steady hand who has reduced costs for Long Island families and brought state funding to local schools. She also said she would do all she could to keep residents safe, including support for gun control measures that would ban bump stocks and prevent guns from being carried on school properties. Kaplan touts her work with North Hempstead and said that Phillips has not done enough for residents. She said she would push more for gun control, the Reproductive Health Act and the Child Victims Act, the latter of which Phillips does not support (her preferred version of the act would not extend the civil statute of limitations). At the national level, the area’s two representatives in Congress — Reps. Kathleen Rice of Garden City and Tom Suozzi of Glen Cove — are both Democrats. Neither has been shy about rebuking Trump’s actions, although only

Anna Kaplan and Elaine Phillips during a debate in October. Democratic control over the New York government hangs in the balance of this state Senate race. Rice joined a lawsuit against the president accusing him of violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution, which!restricts members of the government from receiving gifts,!emoluments, oﬃces or titles from foreign states. But both said they would be more than just opponents to Trump. Suozzi has spoken often during the campaign about his willingness to reach across the aisle with the Problem Solvers Caucus, and while both support reproductive rights and environmental protection, they each stressed that the economy should be their focus. Both opposed the Republican tax cut that capped deductions for state and local taxes. Challenging Suozzi in the 3rd Congressional District, which includes the North Shore of Long Island from northeastern Queens to northwestern Suﬀolk County, is Republican Dan DeBono. DeBono, a former Navy SEAL, said Suozzi is too beholden to big corporations.

He has proposed enforcing anti-trust laws to break up large corporations, which he said would increase competition and provide more, better-paying jobs. He did not give an answer on whether he supported the GOP tax cut as is, but said it was flawed. On the national level, he said he would reduce immigration and that the Mueller investigation had gone on long enough. Challenging Rice in the 4th Congressional District, which takes up much of southern and central Nassau, including Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola and Westbury, is Republican Ameer Benno. A civil rights attorney, Benno said he would do more to bring infrastructure improvements to the South Shore. He said Trump has been more good than bad for the country, citing the state of the economy, and called Rice’s participation in the lawsuit against the president a “political stunt.” Voters will also be selecting choices for the state Assembly. Anthony D’Urso (D-Port Washington) is seeking re-election in the 16th District, which covers Port Washington, Great Neck, Manhasset, and parts of Roslyn, Garden City and New Hyde Park. He is opposed by Republican Byron Divins, a lawyer and former Navy sailor from Roslyn. Another Democratic assemblyman seeking re-election is Charles Lavine of Glen Cove, whose district wraps around the northeast border of Nassau County and includes parts of Roslyn and Westbury. He is being challenged by Republican Andrew Monteleone. One Republican assemblyman looking to hold his seat is Edward Ra of Franklin Square, who is looking to once again represent the 19th District, which includes much of Mineola, New Hyde Park, Williston Park and Garden City, and which stretches up into Old Westbury and Glen Head. The Democratic challenger is William Carr, a trustee in Williston Park.

Nassau home prices cool off in September BY LU K E TOR R A N C E After rising steadily during the summer, the median price for sold homes in Nassau County dropped in September to $525,000, according to data from the Multiple Listing Service of Long Island. It is the first month-to-month drop since April. Since bottoming out that month at $492,000, the median price of homes sold continued to climb until peaking in August at $550,000. Despite the month-to-month drop, the median price was up from $510,000 in September 2017 and $465,000 in September 2016. Median prices on sold homes typically peak around July or August. The number of homes sold dropped steeply, from 1,479 in August to 991 in September. It was also down from 1,167 in September of last year, a 15.1 percent drop that was the biggest year-to-year fall of any month since at least October 2017. The median price for pending sales also dropped from $520,000 in August to $500,000 in September. It was nonetheless a slight improvement over the $490,000 median for pending sales from last September. Like everything else, the number of pending sales in Nassau County was also

down from August. The 958 units pending sale in September marked the lowest total of any month since January. It was a decrease from 1,337 in August and 1,010 in September 2017, a year-to-year drop of about 5 percent. In neighboring Suffolk County, the picture was similar. The median sales price dropped to $381,500, down from August but up from September 2017. The number of homes sold and homes pending sale both dropped from August, although the number of homes sold was way down from September 2017 while homes pending sale saw a very small increase. The one difference was the median price of homes pending sale, which actually went up from $380,000 in August to $385,000 in September. It was also an increase from $360,000 in September 2017 and $335,000 in September 2016. September’s median price of homes pending sale was just $5,000 off the two-year peak of $390,000, reached in May and July of this year.

HEALTHY, NATURAL APPROACH TO ACOMFORTABLE FOOTWEAR Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, November 2, 2018

HOW IT’S BUILT.

Comfortable shoes are part of the good care your feet deserve.

In an average lifetime, a person’s feet will carry them between 150,000 and 20,000 miles. That’s six to eight times around the earth. And for the entire distance, our feet will be our levers, balancers, and shock absorbers. It makes good sense to keep them comfortable and healthy.

YOUR FOOT.

There are twenty-six bones in each foot. They are moved by muscles and tendons and held together by ligaments.

Each foot has thirty-seven complex joints and four arches. The major arch is the long, high one along the inner border of the foot (1). The minor arches are the long, slight arch along the outer border of the foot (2); the metatarsal arch across the ball of the foot (3) and the arch under the foot just behind the instep (4).

HEALTHY FEET.

Energy Efficiency means saving money on our energy bill each month.

N. Shore targeted in phone scams: police BY T E R I W EST The five communities that have been hit hardest by phone scammers in Nassau County are all in the 3rd Police Precinct, Oﬃcer Jesse Cooper said at a community meeting last Thursday. Westbury, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Great Neck and Manhasset have proved the most vulnerable to parties lying about their identities over the phone to obtain cash or gift cards, Cooper said. Scammers use a variety of strategies and scenarios, such as pretending to be a relative or bank, he said, but the scams often share suspicious qualities in common. People calling often ask for payment in the form of gift cards or large sums of money for false emergency situations, he said. The median age for victims in the county was 67, he said. Last year, the Nassau County Police Department had more than 80 reported phone scam incidents, and scammers obtained over $536,000, Cooper said. “It turns my stomach when I read the morning report every day and I see another person who gave away $4,000 and that another person gave away $10,000,”

Cooper said. “It doesn’t have to happen. This is something that can really, really be avoided.” Cooper provided one example in which a scammer called saying that the victim’s son was in trouble and $6,000 would save him. The catch? The currency had to be in Home Depot gift cards. The victim read the cards’ serial numbers to the scammer over the phone, Cooper said. The Police Department has placed flyers in stores that sell gift cards such as CVS to warn people of phone scam activity, he said. Residents from throughout the precinct attended the meeting at Shelter Rock Elementary School in Manhasset. Audience questions covered a variety of issues, from village security cameras to opioids. The topic of the 6th Precinct, which the 3rd Precinct absorbed in 2012, did not come up at the meeting. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran did not include funds to reintroduce the precinct in next year’s county budget, but both of the county Legislature’s caucuses have prepared amendments that do.

A vision of heaven began in Queens Best-selling author Mitch Albom to speak at Roslyn temple BY T E R I W EST

est-selling author Mitch Albom can trace his writing career back to a New York City supermarket in the early 1980s, he said. He was a 20-something trying to make it in the music industry, despite his career refusing to launch, he said, and as he was leaving the store, someone threw a copy of the Queens Tribune in his basket. “I think I was buying popcorn and Häagen-Dazs at the time,” Albom said. An advertisement in the paper asking for volunteer reporters compelled Albom to visit the newsroom and give writing a shot, he said. On his first day, he was assigned a hearing about Forest Hills parking meters. “I’d never written anything before,” he said. “I took a pad and a pen and pretended like I was in ‘All the President’s Men.’” More than 30 years later and after abandoning music for writing, Albom will be coming to New York next week to speak about his career and his new book “The Next Person You Meet in Heaven” at Temple Beth Sholom in Roslyn. The book, a New York Times best-seller, is the sequel to “The Five People You Meet in Heaven,” published 15 years ago. The books grapple with mortality, envisioning an afterlife in which one is greeted sequentially by five people whom he or she aﬀected throughout life. In the first book, a man named Eddie sacrifices his life to save a little girl, Annie. The new book follows Annie to heaven. Albom said he never thought about writing a sequel but would hear from readers who wanted to know what happened to the characters. Fans of the first book have told him that they like the sequel, Albom said, and some, to his surprise, have said they like it even more than “The Five People You Meet in Heaven.”

Mitch Albom Albom’s perspective on mortality and loss has shifted since he wrote the original, especially in the last few years, Albom said. He experienced the deaths of both his mother and father and then a young girl whom he and his wife were raising as their own, he said. Albom and his A Hole in the"Roof Foundation run an orphanage in Haiti. He learned that one of the orphans named Chika had a brain tumor, and, never having raised any children as their own, he and his wife decided to bring her to live with them, he said.

“She arrived to America with a death sentence on her head, and we always knew in the back of our minds that time was likely to be short with her,” Albom said. “That made me really appreciate the time I had with her, and the joy of being a parent and watching a child revel in the love of a de facto mother and father when she’d never really had that before.” In the time that she lived with Albom, Chika showed him how lifechanging raising a child can be, he said. But learning how to recover from her death was also new for him,

he said. “You have to take an attitude toward loss that allows you to go on because if you don’t and you lose a child you just fall to your knees and you don’t want to get up,” Albom said. He is currently working on a book that he plans to release next year about his experience with Chika and running the orphanage, he said. Americans often think about death as being distant and controllable, Albom said. “We spend a lot of time dieting or exercising or doing yoga … all in an eﬀort to avoid being mortal, which is one way with dealing with your mortality but it’s kind of dealing with it as if you control it,” he said. It was Albom’s college professor Morrie Schwartz who showed Albom an alternative way to live with the realities of mortality, he said. Albom spent the last Tuesdays of Schwartz’s life with him, which Albom documented in his 1997 bestseller “Tuesdays With Morrie.” “[Schwartz] said make pretend that there’s a bluebird on your shoulder every day and every day of your life you have to ask that bird, ‘Is today the day that I’m going to die?’” Albom said. “Not too many of us do that. We kind of take our tomorrows for granted.” With “The Next Person You Meet in Heaven” he hopes to help readers find a sense of self-worth, Albom said. Annie is a character who feels that she routinely makes mistakes, but mistakes are important for making positive changes, he said. His relationship with Schwartz is an example of having regrets and the opportunity to make up for them, he said. “I made the terrible mistake of not being involved with him for 16 years and then going to see him the last Tuesdays of his life turned out to be a life-changing thing for me,” Albom said. “And that came from a mistake. I mean it was a very bad mistake to not see him for 16 years, but I was given a second chance.”

‘An Afternoon with Sarge’ Billy Joel tribute at Temple Emanuel in G.N. show supports vets The seventh season of Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel continues on Sunday, Nov. 4 at 3 p.m., with An Afternoon with Sarge. Sarge is an extraordinary entertainer, a triple threat, a musical piano savant, and an amazing improvisational comedian and singer. He was born in Miami Beach during the Civil Rights Movement to a Jewish mother and black father, but was given up for adoption soon after birth. Fortunately, he was adopted by a couple that raised him in Great Neck. Sarge was raised by his parents in a middle to upper middle class environment, attending the best prep schools in the region. All the while, he lived with some sense of confusion because his adopted parents raised him in a Jewish household without much exposure to his black heritage. This led to some internal conflict as a child and young adult — feelings he tried to numb with alcohol, drugs and gambling. He spent part of his young adult life as a homeless man, severely addicted

to several vices, and copping drugs at his hangout under the Manhattan Bridge in New York City. With a wealth of talent unrealized, on Dec. 26, 1990, he had an epiphany that would change his life forever. As strange as it may sound, on that day he made a decision to commit himself to sobriety — cold turkey — and never looked back. Sarge has been clean and sober since then, and he has dedicated himself to assisting others who are facing the same battle. Sarge’s road to success has not been smoothly paved. It is a

story that he tells in his soon-to-be released book, “I’m Still Standing Up,” that traces his hilarious, inspirational life of twists and turns, ups and downs. We begin to understand the pathos from which he emerged to work on some of the biggest stages in show business. From Radio City Music Hall to Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game to entertaining our nation’s troops in Iraq, Sarge is one of the highest energy, multi-talented acts in show business today. Not only a hysterical standup comedian, he sings in his own voice and in a dozen others including Harry Connick Jr., Sammy Davis Jr., Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder. Additionally, his dead on impressions of Marv Albert, Mike Tyson, Kermit the Frog and Gilbert Gottfried leave audiences howling and clamoring for more. Tickets are $20 or two for $35. For further information about subscription discounts and to purchase tickets, call 516-482-5701. Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane in Great Neck.

Mike DelGuidice & Big Shot have become popular regulars at The Paramount in Huntington, where they perform one of the best Billy Joel tribute shows. At their upcoming performance on Friday, Nov. 2 at 8 p.m., the band, along with TD Bank and The Paramount, will join together to help support Long Island veterans with the non-profit General Needs. General Needs helps thousands of homeless Long Island veterans and their families through charitable donations and support. The basic necessities, including new clothing,

shoes, toiletries, and household goods, are provided directly to local veterans in need. By partnering with TD Bank and The Paramount, General Needs can make a big impact in local heroes’ lives. When you purchase the $10, $20 or $50 upgrade to a Big Shot ticket for the Nov. 2 performance, the entirety of your donation will go straight to General Needs.! As touring members of Billy Joel’s band, Mike DelGuidice & Big Shot can either be seen with him at Madison Square Garden or at their Long Island home, The Paramount. With a high energy, crowd pleasing performance, the band plays all of the Piano Man’s major hits. As Joel himself said !“… They had a hard time convincing me it wasn’t me. It’s uncanny.” To purchase tickets to the upcoming show, go to www. paramountny.com. The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

TOM SUOZZI (DEM) Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), the former Nassau County executive and mayor of Glen Cove, is seeking a second term in Congress. He is being challenged by Republican Dan DeBono. Suozzi represents the Third Congressional District, which includes the North Shore of Long Island from northeastern Queens to northwestern Suﬀolk County. In an interview, Suozzi touted his ability to reach across the aisle as a member of the Problem Solver’s caucus, which includes 24 Democrats and 24 Republicans. He said the group is looking to find common ground on issues such as infrastructure, health care, guns, immigration and the budget. Suozzi said the caucus has helped to bring the two parties together, but said the current rules in the House and the increasingly partisan nature of politics

has made the passage of any concrete legislation difficult. For his own accomplishments, he said that he had secured millions of dollars for Bethpage to clean up a chemical plume aﬀecting its water, for the cleanup of Long Island Sound, that he had drawn attention to the Northport VA Medical Center, and for cutting helicopter traﬃc over Queens. Suozzi said that he would stand up to President Donald Trump when he went too far, such as when migrant children were sepa-

DAN DEBONO (REP) rated from their parents. But he declined to join a lawsuit against the President over violation of the Constitution’s emoluments clause. He said that reigning in the president — or aﬀecting any real change in Washington — would be diﬃcult unless the Democrats control Congress. He said that he supports universal health care “academically” but a lot more work would need to be done before he would support it in Congress. He opposed the Republican tax bill that capped deductions for local and state taxes. He supports abortion rights and more gun control, such as a universal background check. On the international level, he said he supported Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, but said there needed to be a two-state solution between Israelis and Palestinians.

Dan DeBono, a former Navy SEAL from Northport, is running as the Republican candidate against incumbent Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove). DeBono is seeking to become the representative for New York’s Third Congressional District, which includes the North Shore of Long Island from northeastern Queens to northwestern Suﬀolk County. During an interview, DeBono said that he would do more to help residents who are struggling under the high cost of living on Long Island. He said the best way to do this would be to oﬀer more, better paying jobs, which he said he would accomplish by increasing competition for labor, striking better trade treaties, deregulating industry and helping small businesses. He also said that many industries are too concentrated in a handful of companies,

and that he would enforce anti-trust laws to break up these large corporations and increase competition. DeBono said that an influx of immigrants will drive down wages, and supports a strict plan for immigration. He said illegal immigrants who have been in the country for a certain amount of time could be granted permanent residence, but would have to go through the normal immigration process to become citizens. He said the Republi-

can tax bill was “flawed” and that he did not support caps on deductions for state and local taxes, although he did not answer how he would have voted on the tax cut as-is. He added that residents have been hurt by the Federal Reserve, which he said had failed to keep a stable dollar. DeBono said protection of abortion rights should be left to the states, but described himself as “pro-life.” He described the Mueller investigation into Russian meddling in the election as a “witch hunt” that should be ended. On international issues, he said he was most concerned by China and that Saudi Arabia should be punished for the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He said NATO was “great” but that European countries needed to pay their fare share.

KATHLEEN RICE (DEM) Rep. Kathleen Rice (DGarden City), the former district attorney for Nassau County, is seeking to be elected to her third term representing New York’s 4th Congressional District and faces a challenge from Ameer Benno (R-Bellmore). The district includes Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Westbury, Carle Place, Lynbrook, Freeport, Hempstead, Bellrose, Bellmore, and other areas. In an interview, Rice called for new leadership in the Democratic Party, for them to put out a stronger agenda for the people and work with Republicans if her party reclaims the majority. Rice said she believes Democrats should serve as a check on President Donald Trump and supports legislation protecting Robert Mueller, the special counsel leading an investigation on Russian election interference eﬀorts. Rice believes in reforming entitlement programs to make them last longer. On healthcare, Rice recommended reforming

the Aﬀordable Care Act before rushing to support Medicare for All. Among solutions she and a group of bipartisan lawmakers suggested were auto-enrollment with an opt-out option and maintaining cost-sharing reduction payments. Regarding Social Security, Rice supported raising both the eligibility age to 67 and the cap on taxable income. On immigration, Rice said there more should be done to secure the border, but that comprehensive immigration reform’s needed. She said Congress should play a role in addressing issues like family reunifica-

AMEER BENNO (REP) tion, the asylum process, refugees, and the lottery system. Rice said there should be more conversation on how the federal government will invest in infrastructure and job training. She supports raising the federal minimum wage and lower taxes for the middle class. Rice also opposes the Republican tax bill because it eliminate state and local tax deductions for residents. Rice said she supports term limits for Congress – four terms for the House, two for the Senate – and opposes gerrymandering congressional districts. Rice said she would not have voted for Judge Brett Kavanaugh because she didn’t’ find him credible in countering Christine Blasey Ford’s testimony and his involvement in crafting George W. Bush’s White House policies. Rice also considers gun violence an “epidemic.” She has expressed support for expanded background checks and an assault weapon ban.

Ameer Benno, a civil rights attorney from Bellmore, is running as a Republican against incumbent Rep. Kathleen Rice, a Democrat from Garden City. Benno hopes to represent New York’s 4th Congressional District, which includes Floral Park, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Westbury, Carle Place, Lynbrook, Freeport, Hempstead, Bellrose, Bellmore, and other areas. Benno said he believes the Republican administration can be credited for a surging economy, record low unemployment, and creating a “more level playing field” for American workers through trade negotiations. On taxation, Benno said the Republican tax bill has spurred reinvestment and economic growth, but he did not agree with the elimination of the state and local tax deductions and that there should have been more provisions to support small business. Regarding the deficits

spawning from the tax bill, he advocated cutting costs and reigning in spending. In the case of Medicaid, Benno expressed support for block grants for state governments and not forcing governments to buy brand name drugs. On Medicare, he said there should be stronger enforcement against fraud and false claims. Benno also said there should be income-adjusted vouches to give people an option to opt out in favor of private insurance. As for Social Security, Benno said he wants to get rid of the “retirement earning test” and tie cost

of living adjustments to the consumer price index for middle class residents. Benno supported the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court. He also said he supported decisions to exit the Paris Accord and United Nations Human Rights Commission, saying it favors anti-Zionistic and anti-Semitic viewpoints. Benno said the Mueller investigation should have been “a year tops.” He also said that he supports defunding “sanctuary cities,” erecting a wall on portions of the United States-Mexico border to try deterring fentanyl traﬃcking, and deporting illegal immigrants found to have gang aﬃliation. On his website, Benno expressed support for “private-public partnerships” for Long Island infrastructure and federal money to aid the Long Island Rail Road.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country. — Franklin D. Roosevelt

ELAINE PHILLIPS (REP)

Q: What would be your top three priorities if elected? A: Aﬀordability—Long Island’s high cost of living hurts families, young people and seniors. I was proud to help stop $3 billion in new taxes this year, and champion middle class tax relief. I want to make the property tax cap permanent, and cut state mandates to lower taxes. Protecting our environment—I was proud to support the historic investment to ensure clean drinking water for Long Island’s future, and deliver $12 million to modernize Nassau’s oldest sewage plant to protect our aquifer and the Long Island Sound. I will continue to safeguard our drinking water by standing up to NYC’s eﬀorts to tap unused wells in Queens, which can cause chemical and saltwater contamination. LIRR Accountability—I’ve championed increased investment in local highway repair and improvements, and am working to hold the MTA accountable for service lapses, delays and commuter safety. I advocated for $8 million in discounts during Penn Station’s “summer of hell” and demanded a fare freeze until service measurably improves. Q: What reforms would you

propose to strengthen New York State’s ethics and campaign finance laws and enforcement? Please explain your answer. A: Restoring confidence in government requires a firm commitment to ending corruption. I proudly voted to strip corrupt public officials of their taxpayer-paid pensions, and to put an end to secret taxpayer-funded settlements in sexual harassment cases involving public officials. I am a strong advocate for term limits for state elected officials in order to bring new ideas and fresh leadership to state government at every level. I voted to support a series of ethics reforms that would increase transparency in government contracting and end pay-to-play, including measures that would require certain appointed public officials to be subject to financial disclosure, restoring comptroller oversight of state contracts, prohibiting certain political appointees from making campaign contributions, and creating a database of all state contracts so taxpayers can see where their tax dollars are being spent. These efforts will help to restore accountability to our government. Q: New York State has one of the lowest voter participation rates in the country. What election reforms would you support to improve voter participation? Please explain your answer. A: I support no-excuse absentee ballots to increase voter participation, and providing adequate funding to local Boards of Elections to smooth voting day operations. Q: What is your position on women’s reproductive rights? A: I am pro-choice and believe that decisions about women’s reproductive health should be between a woman and her doctor. I am

ANNA KAPLAN (DEM) Q: What would be your top three priorities if elected? A: Gun violence prevention. Reproductive Health Act. Education. Q: What reforms would you propose to strengthen New York State’s ethics and campaign finance laws and enforcement? Please explain your answer. A: We need to close the LLC loophole, limit outside income and eliminate the use of campaign funds for criminal defense costs. Corruption is rampant in New York

opposed to a radical proposal that threatens women ‘s health by allowing late term abortions and permitting abortions to be performed by non-doctors. Q: What further actions, if any, should be taken regarding gun control in New York State? A: Gun violence is one of the most serious problems of our time, and I support common sense and reasonable restrictions on gun ownership that serve to protect public safety. I sponsored the landmark new law that protects victims of domestic violence by ensuring that abusers do not have access to guns. I voted in favor of “red flag” protections to keep guns away from those who represent extreme risk of violence, and co-sponsor legislation to ban the manufacture, sale and possession on bump

stock devices. I support stronger background checks for the purchase of guns, and believe that the state must invest in improved mental health services at schools and in the community to identify and prevent potentially violent actions. We also need to provide additional resources for security and safety at schools. Q: Long Island’s drinking water comes from sole-source aquifers, which are threatened by saltwater intrusion, antiquated septic systems, nitrogen runoﬀ and toxic plumes. What should New York State do to address our right to clean and safe drinking water? A: I was proud to support historic investment in protecting Long Island’s groundwater through the Clean Water Infrastructure Act. In addition, I was pleased to provide

additional funding to modernize a major wastewater plant in my district to protect the Long Island, other surface water and drinking water supplies from sewage and other contaminant. I led an eﬀort to provide resources to allow a major investigation into groundwater contamination by saltwater intrusion. I was responsible for both Senate recommendations to a new state panel that is studying ways to regulate chemical contamination in our drinking water. I proposed and passed legislation that would prevent NYC from reopening longshuttered wells that rely on Long Island’s groundwater supply, and increase the risk of chemical and other contaminants entering the water supply for Nassau County residents.

and unfortunately, the Ethics Committee, which my opponent chairs, met only once over the past 2 years and not a single reform has been passed by the Senate. Q: New York State has one of the lowest voter participation rates in the country. What election reforms would you support to improve voter participation? Please explain your answer. A: The voting laws in New York are abysmal and significant changes need to be made. Noexcuse absentee voting, same day registration and early registration are just part of the way we can improve voter accessibility and eﬃciency.

Q: What is your position on women’s reproductive rights? A: I am in support of the Reproductive Health Act and CCCA. Given the threat of a Supreme Court nominee who could overturn or scale back Roe v. Wade, we need to ensure our state laws codify Roe v. Wade and protect New York women’s access to reproductive healthcare. Q: What further actions, if any, should be taken regarding gun control in New York State? A: We need to pass the Red Flag bill, ban bump stocks and extend the wait period to seven days. Aside from that, we really need dedicate funds for a robust study

into gun violence, it’s causes and the best ways to prevent it. Gun violence is a public health issue and needs to be treated as such. Q: Long Island’s drinking water comes from sole-source aquifers, which are threatened by salt-water intrusion, antiquated septic systems, nitrogen runoﬀ and toxic plumes. What should New York State do to address our right to clean and safe drinking water? A: We need to protect our drinking water from toxins such as Chromium-6, Perfluorooctanoic acid and Perfluorooctanesulfonic acid. We also need to ensure our aquifers are protected.

Q: What further actions, if any, should be taken regarding gun control in New York State? It is past time to enact more commonsense gun reforms in New York State. We need to do more to protect our communities from any senseless gun violence. In the Assembly, I voted to keep guns out of the hands of domestic violence abusers, ban ‘bump stocks’ that allow semiautomatic firearms to act like military-grade weapons and allow for more thorough background checks for a gun purchase.

voting legislation. We also need to create more opportunities for voters to have their voices heard loud and clear and in this eﬀort I supported Assembly measures that modernize the voter registration process. Like what? I also helped pass legislation that would restrict LLCs to the same contributions limits that currently exist for corporations under NYS campaign finance laws to build accountability and transparency in our government.

Q: What reforms would you propose to strengthen New York State’s ethics and campaign finance laws and enforcement? Please explain your answer. A: Public service should be about helping the hardworking people in our communities and giving them a voice, not for public oﬃcials to abuse their power for personal gain. I have voted to strip taxpayer-funded pensions from public oﬃcials convicted of corruption and support a limit on outside income for legislators as well as increased disclosure. It is my duty as the 16th Assembly District representative to work for our communities best interest, not special interests. I plan on sponsoring more commonsense ethics and campaign reform measures to bring integrity back to our government.

Q: What would be your top three priorities if elected? A: While I consider all areas a priority, for the upcoming legislative session, my top three priorities about government reform, Healthcare for all New Yorkers, and protecting our environment. 1. Government Reform: I stripped convicted public oﬃcials of taxpayer-funded pensions. I fought against special interests by voting to close the LLC loophole and I support a limit on outside income for legislators as well as increased disclosure. I will continue to fight for increased transparency to rid the government of corruption. 2. Healthcare for all: Everyone deserves access to healthcare and to decide what is best for their health. I support comprehensive health coverage for all New Yorkers and have cosponsored the New York Health plan which would include a single payer health system to provide aﬀordable healthcare to all New York State residents. Additionally, I have fought and will continue to fight for women’s reproductive health rights. I cosponsored the New York Reproductive Health Act and will continue to support measures that give women

BRONX

ANTHONY DʼURSO (DEM) the right to choose. 3. Environment: As the chair of the Assembly LI Sound Task Force, I have pushed to prohibit the use of improper disposal of dangerous fertilizers, pesticides and emerging contaminants to protect our aquifers and our drinking water. I serve on the Environmental Conservation committee to ensure bills that protect our environment are brought to the floor. New Yorkers can count on me to always protect and preserve our natural resources.

CHARLES LAVINE

(DEM) Q: What would be your top three priorities if elected? A: Healthcare, environment, gun violence. Q: What reforms would you propose to strengthen New York State’s ethics and campaign finance laws and enforcement? Please explain your answer. A: Close LLC loophole, overrule Citizens United, enhance punishments for unethical government oﬃcials. Q: New York State has one of the lowest voter participation rates in the

candidates as well as tougher penalties for ethical and campaign finance violations. While I feel that those breaking the law should be punished to deter the behavior in the future, better screening of the candidates would better serve in placing not only politically qualified individuals in office, but ethically qualified individuals as well.

A: I would move to educate the public more on voting. Q: What is your position on

women’s reproductive rights? A: I am pro-life. Q: What further actions, if any, should be taken regarding gun control in New York State? A: I believe that New York’s gun control laws, being one the strictest in the country, are suﬃcient. I believe the next step in stopping mass shootings should be a reform of our mental health initiatives starting from an early age in order to identify and treat those individuals with mental health issues. Q: Long Island’s drinking water comes from sole-source aquifers, which are threatened by salt-water intrusion, antiquated septic systems, nitrogen runoﬀ and toxic plumes.

Says didn’t know of it until later BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN State Sen. Elaine Phillips and the Great Neck Republicans were not involved in an incident where two women verbally harassed Great Neck Library trustee candidate Mimi Hu over transgender people, Phillips, the Phillips campaign and the chairman of the Great Neck Republicans said. Hu had posted a video of the incident in which! two women, Mersedeh Rofeim and Valerie Shalit, were heard calling Hu a “communist fascist” and asking “Are you a man or a woman?” while she was at the Great Neck Plaza AutoFest and Street Festival on Oct. 21 with her 6-year-old son. One of the women also said, “Take that s— to China,” apparently in response to support for transgender people. In the backdrop of the video is a table for the Great Neck Republicans, with campaign signs for Phillips and Dan DeBono, Republicans running to represent state Senate District 7 and U.S. House District 3, respectively. Hu later posted on Facebook that “in my hot anger” she had seen the two women with the Great Neck Republican table in the backdrop and demanded actions from Phillips. She said she later got phone calls from Phillips and Michael Pulitzer, the chairman of the Great Neck Republicans, after they learned of the incident. “I learned that the people in the video were not members of the Republican committee and they are already disreputable in the Great Neck community (I didn’t know them),” Hu said. “When this incident happened, neither Mr. Pulitzer nor Ms. Phillips were at the scene.” Hu also said she does not believe the two women – Rofeim and Shalit – were involved with

the campaign and that, with midterm elections happening soon, she does “not want this event to be politicized.” “If you watch it closely – these people are holding flyers of my opponent in the library election,” Hu said, referring to the video posted on her Facebook page. “I love our library and it saddens me that this happened. Please let us keep politics out of our library election and let books, ideas, and love flourish.” Some people posted pictures on Hu’s public Facebook thread of Republicans gathered together, including with Shalit and Rofeim, from DeBono’s Twitter account and questioned the sincerity of the calls. Shalit and Rofeim appear in the group pictures with DeBono, Phillips, Village of Great Neck Mayor Pedram Bral! and others at the street fair. Pulitzer, the chairman of the Great Neck Republican committee, said via email nobody from the organization was involved in the incident. He also attached Hu’s Facebook post and said further comment from him “would dishonor her request” to not bring politics into the Great Neck Library elections. Phillips confirmed the phone call with Hu, said the two women were in no way involved in her campaign and expressed “concern and outrage” over the incident. “I was not there to see this incident firsthand, but immediately after learning of it, I personally called Mimi Hu to express my concern and outrage that she was the subject of such behavior by individuals who have no role in our campaign,” Phillips said. “As a mother, I am especially concerned that this occurred in front of a young child.” Continued on Page 83

North Shore at risk for flooding: Corps BY T E R I W EST

Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor are part of an area that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has named “high-risk” for future storm flooding and is studying prevention plans for. The majority of the options that the Corps has proposed, however, would likely induce flooding on Long Island’s North Shore in an eﬀort to prevent it in New York City, said local environmental activists who attended a meeting last week about the study. The Corps study considers the installation of storm surge barriers intended to prevent flooding. But two of the potential barriers leave Northern Nassau County on the outside, where water would build up and potentially induce flooding, said" Eric Swenson, executive director for the Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee. “That water, because it can’t go into New York City, is going to go into the communities behind those gates, which are Manhasset Bay, Hempstead Harbor and Oyster Bay … and we don’t know how far east it will go,” Swenson said.

PHOTO FROM WIKIMEDIA COMMONS

Manhasset Bay is included in a study by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers about future flooding mitigation in New York and New Jersey. The region of New Jersey and New York that the Corps is studying includes over 900 miles of shoreline from midNew Jersey up the Hudson River to Troy, New York, according to the Corps fact sheet. It includes all of New York City as well as a western portion of Long Island. The Corps released six options to address the New York and New Jersey flood threat in a report it published last summer. The options range from taking no action to installing storm surge barriers

or sea walls. Four of them include at least one of two barriers that could aﬀect Long Island Sound, one called the Throgs Neck Gate and the other called the Pelham Gate. At a public meeting in Kings Point last Tuesday, a representative said the Corps would find ways to mitigate induced flooding beyond the barriers if it were to install them, said Save the Sound Director Tracy Brown. One option the representative men-

tioned was sea walls along the Long Island coast, she said. The other he offered, Brown said, was taking property along the coast. A storm surge barrier could harm Long Island Sound"in other ways beyond induced flooding, Swenson said. “There’s environmental issues with changing the whole flow of the sound and what it does to things like salinity and fish passage and water temperature and bacteria in the water, heavy metals in the water,” he said. “Tidal gates are shown to have those kinds of impacts.” The Corps is accepting public comment on the study until Monday, a deadline twice extended after an initial date that was only 42 days after the Corps’ report was published, Brown said. Save the Sound urged the Corps to extend the initial deadline, she said. It also wrote a letter to the Corps with a variety of requests including more public meetings and information and further investigation into the environmental impacts of the options. Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) said he reached out to the Corps, requesting that it hold the meeting in Long Island, according to an oﬃcial from his Continued on Page 83

Branciforte recognized 6th Pct. advocate BY T E R I W EST

BY J E S S I C A PA R K S “Free tickets to Woodstock and free record albums” were the drive behind Richard Branciforte’s 1969 endeavor to publish the first issue of Good Times Magazine. He thought it would be a two- or three-year venture. But 49 years later, Branciforte just published the 1,260th issue of the longest-running locally focused entertainment newspaper in the country and will be inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame on Nov. 8. His fellow inductees include singersongwriter Jimmy Webb, Long Islandbased rock band Taking Back Sunday and singer-songwriter Melanie, who is known for her songs “Brand New Key” and “What Have They Done to My Song, Ma.” Branciforte believes he will be the first person from Roslyn ever inducted. " The Long Island Music Hall of Fame opened in 2004 with a mission to preserve Long Island’s rich musical heritage. Branciforte attributes the continued success of Good Times Magazine to the wealth of local musical talent that the hall of fame wishes to recognize. In fact, the publication has reviewed all of the soon-to-be hall of famers who are being inducted with him, Branciforte said. Good Times Magazine was prominent in the 1970s and ’80s for its uncanny tendency to “write stories on up and coming artists before they became superstars,” he said." The magazine boasts of publishing Elton John’s first U.S. interview and being

Good Times Magazine can also take credit for the name of the Allman Brothers Band’s album, “Eat a Peach,” which was titled after a statement made by Duane Allman in an interview with the magazine’s intern at the time, Ellen Mandel. She asked the guitarist if he was involved with the current peace movement, to which he responded, “I’m hitting a lick for peace. And every time I’m in Georgia, I eat a peach for peace.” The biweekly magazine is distributed free at 400 locations on Long Island, and each issue contains 450 listings of concerts and events across the island along with an assortment of columns and music reviews."

Phillips outspends, outraises Kaplan Continued from Page 6 Donations from Republican-aﬃliated groups to Phillips total more than the entire amount raised by Kaplan’s campaign. The New York State Senate Republican Campaign Committee alone directly donated $440,500 to the campaign, according to records, while Friends of John Flanagan and Cathy Young for Senate each donated $11,000 and the North Hempstead Century Club contributed $5,000. Phillips’ campaign has also spent nearly five times as much as the Kaplan

campaign, records show, having spent $882,379.11 so far this year as of Oct. 22, with the vast majority going toward advertising. The Phillips campaign appears to have doubled its spending on advertising in less than a month, campaign financial disclosures suggest, with total spending with Brabendercox LLC having risen from $360,939 as of Oct. 1 to $758,118 as of Oct. 22. Spending with CCC Enterprises, a go-to for Republican candidates for campaign mailers, also roughly doubled from $13,303.44 to $25,535.06 total this year.

Independent groups are also seeking to forge narratives for or against the candidates. Fighting for our Future, which represents the New York State Union of Teachers, has spent $247,130.06 on mailers and television ads against Phillips, according to independent expenditure records. New Yorkers Together, representing the Communications Workers Union of America, has put $67,380.99 toward digital advertising against Phillips. Meanwhile Empire State 32BJ SEIU PAC, which represents the service employees union, has spent nearly $100,000 for

anti-Phillips mailers as of Oct. 26. Progress NYS spent $23,601.51 on mailers opposing Phillips as well. Jobs for New York PAC, whose treasurer is listed as William Auerbach, the CFO of the Real Estate Board of New York, has so far spent $426,214 for advertising and consulting with the Phillips campaign, records show. New Yorkers for a Balanced Albany, a political action committee formed by the pro-charter school group StudentsFirst, spent $2.6 million on Phillips’ 2016 campaign against Adam Haber but does not appear to have directly invested money yet in the Phillips-Kaplan race.

State hearing on legalizing marijuana Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso recently attended a day-long hearing, held in the New York State Assembly’s hearing room at 250 Broadway in Manhattan, which was held to get input from experts about the State’s proposal to legalize, regulate and therefore tax marijuana usage for adults. A report was recently produced by the NYS Department of Health assessing the impacts on health, criminal justice and the economy of having legalized and regulated marijuana. For the study, the Health Department received input from state agencies in the areas of health, criminal justice and public safety, economics, and education. After reading the study, the governor formed a workgroup to further study its use.

“I am listening to statements on all sides before I make a decision on how I will vote on this issue,” said D’Urso. Possessing a small amount of marijuana in New York state was decriminalized in 1977. If someone was caught with a small amount, they only have pay a fine. More recently, New York has decrimalized marijuana for use to treat certain medical conditions. Even though possessing a small amount has been decriminalized, many people still continue to get arrested for possession. The arrest record has prevented those people from gainful employment. Now, New York has begun to look at legalizing and regulating its use for adults, following several other states and Canada.

3 sisters, mom beat breast cancer Flashing matching bracelets engraved with personalized and inspired words such as “blessings,” “sisters,” and “soul sister,” the Overton sisters and their mother returned to the Northwell Cancer Institute’s Monter Cancer Center to celebrate their personal triumphs over the disease with the breast surgeon who treated each of them over a 25-year period. Martha Overton, age 80, and her three daughters, all of whom live in Hampton Bays, have spent the past quarter century doing battle with breast cancer. Now cancer-free, Ms. Overton and her daughters – Karen Connolly, Juliana Armusewicz, and Eva Williams – chose to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness month by speaking publicly about their individual approaches to facing the reality of living with cancer. They also expressed thanks to Dr. Karen Kostroff, chief of Breast Surgery at Northwell Health, who shepherded each of them through the life-changing process. “It’s been a great honor to work with three generations of women in this family and to guide them through this journey,” said Kostroff.. Overton was diagnosed in 1998, at the age of 59, with atypical pre-cancer cells. She underwent a lumpectomy and all was well until 2012, when at the age of 74, she learned she had invasive right breast cancer, for which she was treated with bilateral mastectomy. Again, in 2016, at the age of 78, she was diagnosed with an invasive cancer cyst of the chest wall. She was treated with chemotherapy and radiation, and is now considered cancerfree. Her husband, Richard, died in 2015 due to BRAC II positive pancreatic cancer. As Kostroff pointed out, the BRCA genetic mutation can be passed down from the father, which proved to be the case with

Eva Williams, Karen Connolly, Martha Overton, Juliana Armusewicz and Dr. Karen Kostroff. Armusewicz and her daughter, Courtney. “I get my strength from my three daughters, and from their father,”" Overton said. “It’s because of them that I continue to move forward.” Connolly is the eldest of the three sisters. In 1993, at the age of 32, Ms. Connolly was treated for mastitis after suffering a miscarriage. After two weeks a biopsy revealed she was living with stage four inflammatory breast cancer, a rare and very aggressive form of the disease. Connolly was given just three months to live when, as she said, “she decided to go for a second opinion and was lucky enough to find Kostroff.” Kostroff recommended aggressive

treatment with high-dose chemotherapy, a radical mastectomy, as well as experimental stem cell transplant, radiation and Tamoxifen. Declared cancer-free in 1993, Connolly decided that outreach and compassion would help her through her journey. “I could have been your wife, mother, daughter or sister,” she said. “If not for Dr. Kostroﬀ, I wouldn’t be here today. I advocate for others to get a second opinion. I feel my diagnosis was so that I could pave the way for my family, my friends and others who might need advice during the difficult time of a diagnosis.” Armusewicz was diagnosed with stage one right breast cancer following a routine

mammogram in 1994 at the age of 32. Then, in 2003, at the age of 41, she was again diagnosed with cancer in her left breast. The “advocate” of the family, she believes that keeping pressure on the community about the importance of education and awareness is her particular strength. “You have to be your own advocate when you get this diagnosis,” she said. “If you don’t like the answers you are getting from one doctor, find another one. You have to take your health into your own hands – and stay strong.” Armusewicz also spoke about the bravery of her daughter, Courtney, who tested BRCA II positive at the age of 25 in 2015. Courtney has undergone a bilateral mastectomy and reconstructive surgery as a preventive measure. “She is incredibly brave,” said her mother. Williams is the “baby” of the sisters. At the age of 36, Williams was diagnosed with ductal invasive cancer of the right breast. Her approach to wellness involves maintaining a positive attitude and learning to experience joy each day of her life. “You ask yourself – why is this happening to me? Why is this happening to us again as a family?” Ms. Williams said. “But, we are warriors. I believe we must stay positive by finding joy in every day events.” Having treated the Overton women for more than 25 years, Kostroff was particularly proud to show off her bracelet with “soul sister” engraved on the surface. According to Overton, the family’s matriarch, “Everyone in this family loves Dr. Kostroff. She is like a daughter to me and a sister to my girls. She is a part of us.”

Parker Jewish celebrates 111th year anniversary Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation held their 2018 Gala fundraising dinner on Thursday, Oct. 18 in the Grand Ballroom of the Queens Museum, Flushing Meadows-Corona Park. The gala, in celebration of the Institute’s 111 year anniversary, also honored Carrier Corporation, one of Parker’s long-time strategic partners. Accepting Parker’s Humanitarian Award was John S. Moore, PE, Carrier Sales Manager, New York Metropolitan Area. Peter Seideman, Parker’s chairman, welcomed the 300

dinner guests. He congratulated Moore for Carrier’s long-time service and support of Parker’s mission. “Our partnership with Carrier has made it possible to pursue an unwavering commitment to deliver superior patient care in a warm and supportive environment, which has been the Parker mantra since our 1907 founding,” Seideman said. Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s president and CEO, thanked Carrier and other Parker supporters. “Carrier has joined with many others whose kindness helps enrich our programs and enhance our facilities,”

Rosenblut said, “helping make the Gala a huge success.” “Built on Willis Carrier’s invention of modern air-conditioning in 1902, Carrier today is a world leader in heating, airconditioning and refrigeration solutions,” said Moore. In accepting the award, Moore said Carrier is proud of their long relationship as a major technology and systems provider for Parker’s modern facility in New Hyde Park. “We at Carrier are honored to join in Parker’s mission of service and caring for our older adult population,” he added. “The needs of our senior

population – the nation’s largest – makes your support more critical than ever,” Rosenblut said. “They might be at Parker’s facility for sub-acute care, short-term rehabilitation, social adult day care, home health care, hospice, or our on-site dialysis clinic, QueensLong Island Renal Institute. Perhaps they’re clients of

our medical transport service, Lakeville Ambulette, or AgeWell New York, a managed long-term care plan which we founded. Carrier’s generosity, and the support of many here tonight, helps strengthen our endowment, which will benefit Parker’s patients and residents for decades to come,” he added

ALL THINGS POLITICAL

Issues to consider before voting

lection Day is Tuesday, Nov. 6 and it can’t come here soon enough. Mailboxes, television and social Media are full of messaging from all candidates touting how wonderful they are or how horrible their opponent is. This article is for Long Island residents who are still undecided, who want to tune out the noise and cast an informed vote. Any polling done on Long Island reveals high property taxes as the largest non-partisan issue, by far. A distant second is usually public schools and after that, depending on what’s recently been highlighted in the media, could be the environment, gun control, a woman’s right to choose, immigration, terrorism, gang violence, infrastructure, health care, prescription drug pricing or opioid abuse. With that being said, please consider where the candidates stand on these local issues before you vote: Taxes – President Trump signed a major tax reform bill

into law late December 2017. One significant negative, it limits itemized state and local tax deductions oﬀ your federal return to $10,000. This law, also known as SALT, unfairly targets Long Islanders, who suﬀer from some of the highest property taxes in the nation. Please consider any candidate on the Federal level who has promised to work to repeal this onerous law from the tax code. Did your elected representatives, whether on the Federal or state level, forcefully fight against the loss of state and local tax deductions when it was announced or were they strangely silent? Did aspiring candidates in your district address SALT during their campaigns? Where a candidate stands on these pocketbook issues looms large in any election. Public Schools – One reason Long Island remains a top destination to raise a family, albeit an expensive one, is the wide variety of quality public education. If our public schools don’t continue to be well fund-

ADAM HABER

All Things Political ed and rank among the best in the nation, businesses won’t move or stay here, and housing values will drop. How are the candidates on protecting public education? Infrastructure – It’s no secret the LIRR is an unholy mess. Has your elected oﬃcial supported investment in system repairs and track upgrades? Where did they stand on the much delayed third track from Floral Park to Hicksville as we went through the “summer of hell?” Are aspiring can-

didates making a safer and resilient LIRR a talking point in their campaigns? Without a reliable LIRR commuting on Long Island will be difficult and traffic will remain unbearable. Environment – Every time it rains hard, north and south shore beaches must close because of excess sewage runoff. It’s only going to get worse. Sewers aren’t sexy and don’t win elections, but elected officials need to make protecting Long Island’s aquifers a priority now, before it’s too late. Also, Long Island has some of the worst air quality in the state. Do the incumbents and candidates in your district speak about protecting groundwater and pursuing alternative energy to protect the environment? They should. Health Care, Prescription Drugs and Opioids – All politicians would like to give away free health care, lower prescription drug prices and stop opioid abuse if government could afford it. But the question remains, how do you pay for it all? What

are viable solutions that will cross party lines? These issues aren’t going to go away any time soon, and everyone running for office should have a thoughtful position on these important issues. I didn’t touch on gun control, a woman’s right to choose and a host of other topics, because I chose to stay away from issues where there seems to be little common ground. I do want to highlight my favorite creative proposal from this campaign season, which comes from state Senate candidate Jim Gaughran. Gaughran advocates taking the revenue generated from the sports books that New York will inevitably create to compete with New Jersey who already has one, and use the proceeds to directly offset property taxes. Long Island needs additional thoughtful solutions to high property taxes such as that. Thomas Jefferson said it best, “The government you elect is the government you deserve.” The government Long Island elects is up to you.

KIDS F IRST

Fighting back from childhood abuse

recently attended a seminar led by Dr. Cynthia Kaplan, director of Trauma Training & Consultation within the Child and Adolescent Services at McLean Hospital of Boston. Dr. Kaplan addressed the issue of childhood sexual abuse. She incorporated the story of a young woman, Kayla Harrison, a survivor of CSA and a two-time Olympian Gold medalist in judo for the United States. Many years ago CSA was only heard about in whispers as opposed to in-depth reports by investigative journalists. Today reports on CSA perpetrated by what seem like otherwise model citizens – religious leaders, coaches, teachers, seem commonplace. Dr. Kaplan made a strong point about how we caution children in the strongest terms to “stay away from strangers,” yet 90 percent of children and adolescents, who are sexually abused, know their abuser. Kayla’s book, “Fighting Back: What an Olympic Champion’s Story Can Teach Us about Recognizing and Preventing

Child Sexual Abuse – and Helping Kids Recover,”! co-authored by Drs. Kaplan and Aguirre, contains excerpts from Kayla’s personal journal. She wrote about her experiences throughout the course of her abuse, including about how she was groomed by her coach. “By the time I was nine or 10 I started traveling with the team to local tournaments. At night when the whole team would watch movies I would snuggle up next to him. He would put a blanket over us and then one day things went further and he guided my hand to touch him.” About one in 10 children will be sexually abused before their 18th!birthday. The impact of CSA can be felt by survivors throughout their lifetime. According to Dr. Kaplan, what complicates the healing is that CSA is not visible, not transparent. Consequently, survivors may not get the support they need and are often left to struggle and mourn alone. When film director Steven Spielberg created the Shoah

ANDREW MALEKOFF Kids First

Foundation, which strives to capture the testimony of Holocaust survivors, he discovered that many of them had never told their stories before. They often avoided doing so because they had a deep sense of shame and distress which they often believed could or would not be understood by others. After the filming they reported feeling a sense of relief at finally having told someone. They finally felt heard. Being truly heard requires another person to bear witness. Living with the hurt in silence

can compound!traumatic stress and lead to destructive and even fatal behaviors including drinking, drugging, self-harm and suicide. Disclosures of CSA require professional support. When survivors lose their ability to control disclosures, the emotional impact can be devastating. Even in the best of circumstances, says Dr. Kaplan, following disclosure individuals often feel more distressed and have trouble managing emotions. They may begin to lose faith in the world and can feel re-traumatized by the disclosure experience itself. It is significantly more likely that a child will disclose if they know they are likely to be believed and do not feel blamed and also if they are helped to anticipate the potential legal repercussions of breaking their silence. Believing that they will be protected by the adult they disclose to goes a long way. Particularly when they are able to maintain at least some control over the disclosure process, pre-

serve their anonymity to the extent possible and sustain a level of confidentiality. Surprising as it may seem, children also need to feel free to express their concerns about what will happen to the offender, as it is a complicated relationship! with the victim having mixed feelings that survivors need time to process. There is hope. As Kayla said, after many years and support from her new coaches, parents and mental health professionals, “I began to see my way out of the darkness and towards the light until I could again see the flame of the Olympic torch shining with my very own eyes.” Andrew Malekoﬀ is the executive director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which provides comprehensive mental health services for children from birth through 24 and their families.

VIEW POINT

GOP rhetoric sparks domestic terror The United States just experienced the most heinous acts of domestic terrorism in history – bombs sent to two former presidents, leading Democrats, Trump critics and the press, followed by the worst massacre of Jews in American history – and the only national security threat Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is focused on is a caravan of desperate Hondurans moving at turtle pace 1,000 miles from the U.S. border. Republicans are so desperate to stop a feared Blue Wave in the midterm elections, they are conjuring up the ghouls, vampires and zombies to scare their gullible base of deplorables to vote, and at the same time, block or intimidate others. They are casting Democrats as Socialists (Communists, even!), enemies of the state (along with media), traitors, ultra liberals! And the biggest bogeyman of all, are the black and brown “aliens” who they cast as an invasion force carrying leprosy, smallpox and

crime. This isn’t just coming from the Republican candidates, who have taken to calling their opponents “negroes” (or something else), “monkey”, “traitor,” but from the bully pulpit of the occupier of the Oval Oﬃce, and the White House, itself. In fact, they have taken their cues and their memes straight from the White House. “And honestly, it’s a very dangerous period in our country. And it’s being perpetrated by some very evil people,” Trump declared at the New York press conference. At rallies after the Kavanaugh hearings, he led chants against Sen. Dianne Feinstein (a Democrat, a woman and Jewish), “Lock her up.” Trump doesn’t even bother using dogwhistles any more, he uses a bullhorn. The White House took the occasion for a press call about illegal immigration to vilify Democrats for the “crisis” at the border. “This is a fundamental issue of sovereignty,” a “senior administration oﬃcial” declared.

KAREN RUBIN View Point

“Republicans want to preserve sovereignty and end loopholes. Democrats want to preserve loopholes and end sovereignty….you have system in which noncontiguous aliens are granted catch and release into our country as a result of Democratic loopholes and fiat….[Sen.] Dianne Feinstein, the fiercest defender on the planet, wants to expand protections never before seen in history. .. Dianne Feinstein [wants to] end of Ameri-

can sovereignty.” Let’s be clear: Under Obama, there was a bipartisan Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill that did provide for unprecedented funding to secure the border. It passed the Senate in 2013 but the Republican-led house refused to vote on it, which led Obama to institute the DACA policy. There is a solution to illegal immigration: it’s a structure for legal immigration and residency. In just one week, two blacks were gunned down at a Kentucky store; a man enthralled by Trump and MAGAism sent 14 bombs to prominent Democratic leaders and a gunman wielding AR15 invaded Pittsburgh’s oldest synagogue during Shabbat services, killing 11, injuring 4 police, but the threat to America is a caravan of desperate Hondurans fleeing violence that the US helped cause? Trump’s solution? Cut aid programs to these countries meant to mitigate such violence and desperation, threaten to cancel rebranded NAFTA, send 5,200 U.S.

soldiers to the border and shutter it altogether. The Tree of Life synagogue was targeted not only because of anti-Semitism, but because Jews are viewed by White Nationalists as “globalists” who help refugees and immigrants. The massacre was facilitated by the ease of access to assault weapons. (Trump blames the synagogue for not having an armed guard, and “fake news” for informing Americans about his policies.) The final match was the sense of righteousness in the ability to murder people who are deemed sub-human, not deserving of life or liberty, like the five Baltimore journalists, another group branded by Trump as part of an evil enterprise. The parallels to the rise of Hitler and Nazi Germany cannot be ignored. You don’t mobilize a citizenry to exterminate six million people who had lived in Europe for 1,000 years without first dehumanizing them. Continued on Page 79

READERS WRITE

Paper wrong to allow use of ‘dog whistles’

n the wake of the massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh on Oct. 27, I think it’s important to examine and take responsibility for how we, as a society, have allowed virulent anti-Semitic slurs and conspiracy theories to enter the mainstream. " I took the time to scroll through an archived copy of the alleged shooter’s social media profile, and a few abhorrent, bigoted themes presented themselves: Jews believe in “open borders” and are working to help non-white refugees and migrants overrun the United States, Jews have no loyalty to the United States and don’t belong here, Jews are secretly controlling the highest levels of government, and the Holocaust was a hoax. "Unfortunately, these themes are no longer relegated to whitesupremacist-friendly websites and social media platforms." In fact, over the past few years, they have become mainstays of the “Readers Write” section in the New Hyde Park Herald Courier and other local Blank Slate Media publications. " I won’t go into a detailed rehash of the John O’Kelly con-

troversy of late 2016 and early 2017." I will, however, remind publisher Steven Blank of his promise in the wake of that controversy. "Specifically, Mr. Blank, you claimed you understood why it was the wrong decision to publish letters that spread the same anti-Semitic slurs and conspiracy theories favored by the Tree of Life shooter." In fact, you explicitly stated, “We will not publish letters in the future that are inflammatory, like the one published on Dec. 16 [2016].” Unfortunately, it seems that you have not kept that promise. " On Oct. 8, you posted a thinly veiled anti-Semitic letter addressed to one of your regular columnists, Karen Rubin." The author, Paul Giarmo of Carle Place, referred to Rubin as a “globalist” who didn’t believe in the concept of “national borders.” "Giarmo also accused Rubin of undermining “our American cultural values” and advocating for an “unregulated and unlimited” flow of “illegal aliens” across the border. "Firstly, the use of “globalist” as an anti-Semitic dog whistle is

well documented." Anti-Defamation League CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt addressed this in a video op-ed published by NowThis News on March 9. " “The term ‘globalist’ was developed and originated in certain extremist circles populated by white supremacists,” Greenblatt said." “It gained currency in recent years, as the alt-right used their understanding of technology to spread that term into the mainstream." But, make no mistake, where the term originates from is a reference to Jewish people who are seen as having allegiances not to their countries of origin, like the United States, but to some global conspiracy.” " Referring specifically to Donald Trump’s recent use of the phrase, Greenblatt said, “It is really disturbing when the president or his advisers…or others in the media literally parrot this term, which is rooted in prejudice.” "Aryeh Tuchman, the associate director of the ADL’s Center on Extremism, told the Washington Post in an article also published on March 9, “[T]o use

that word about a Jewish person is just really problematic.” " Tuchman continued, “People should be aware that when you’re using it about a Jewish person, you’re raising a whole host of associations that cannot be extricated from [its] history of anti-Semitism.” Considering Giarmo tried to paint Rubin as lacking “American cultural values” and claimed that she believed in a completely unregulated border (none of which she stated or suggested in her original column), it is clear that the use of the word “globalist” in this case was intended not as a description of Rubin’s actual geopolitical beliefs, but instead as an anti-Semitic slur. "This is not the only recent example of Blank Slate Media allowing anti-Semitic pieces through the net since Mr. Blank made his promise. " On Aug. 30, Blank Slate Media posted a letter by Iris Chong of Williston Park." Chong not only used the word “globalist” or “globalists” four times, but her whole piece essentially focused on the popular antiSemitic conspiracy theory that Jews (or “globalists,” as Chong

stated) control the media. "Below are the most disturbing quotes from Chong’s article, which are clearly meant to evoke an anti-Semitic conspiratorial picture. "“The globalists buy up the media in every country they’re in.” "“The personal hate the globalist media [has] for our [p] resident is disgusting.” “The globalists who control the media will lose in the long run.” "I’m sure the usual cast of local characters will write in in response to this, claiming that the ADL is full of crap and that both the Giarmo and Chong pieces were perfectly benign (just as they did when you published the original O’Kelly letters). "However, regardless of what those apologists think, you have a decision to make, Mr. Blank." Will you continue to be an active participant in the spread of dangerous propaganda, or will you honor your promise to the community? This shouldn’t be a hard decision. Matthew Zeidman New Hyde Park

am numbed by the latest anti-Semitic attack in Pittsburgh.# My wife and I lived there in the mid-1980s, we have fond memories of the Squirrel Hill community.# I have been struggling to grapple the enormity of this horror and write a meaningful letter to the editor in response, and will most likely fail.# Right now I grieve. At the rate things are going, I truly fear we shall end up filling our calendars with the dates and times of death.# We need better objects to honor and share and place on our altars.# I was reworking two poems — one on 9/11, the

other a future submittal to Yeshiva University’s seminal journal PRISM.# I am struck that both are poems of remembrance.# Nobody likes my long emails, so I shall end.# Despite it all, we must somehow be able to come together and take the overpowering dark worldviews of death and promote the crucial values and principals devoted to life and hope.# I cherish these principals. They seem especially important. Stephen Cipot Garden City Park

Fear not way forward

find that bombs being sent to notable Democrats to be extremely disturbing. This is an act by a disturbed individual with an agenda that is anti-American. We live in a country that allows us the right express our opinions without the fear of being killed by someone who disagrees with what we have to say. As an America let me say what was once said, “There is nothing to fear but

fear itself.” We will not be forced to live in fear and will live our lives and not be bullied by evil doers. This terrorist will be found and brought to justice for he can run but he cannot hide. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

an Debono is a former Navy Seal who served our country faithfully with honor and distinction. He is not a career politician. Like his grandfather, father and brothers he has served with honor in our military. He has over 20 years experience in the military and private financial institutions. It is imperative to stop the culture of career politicians and drain the swamp. A vote for his opponent means that Nancy Pelosi becomes Speaker of the House! Or can you imagine Eliot Engle becoming the chairman of the House Foreign Aﬀairs Committee? Think about Jerrold Nadler becoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Even worse, can you imagine Maxine Waters becoming chairwomen of the House Financial Services Committee! These are the same individuals who have promised that on the day they become the majority they will unleash investigation after investigation on the president, vice president, his cabinet and anyone who stands in their way. They have promised to start impeachment proceedings against President Trump, Vice President Pence and Justice Kavanagh. These individuals have promised to

stop the Government from functioning. They have joined the chorus of Democrats who have stated; “When they go low, we will kick them, this is the new Democratic Party”, “Civility can only begin again if Democrats win back the Senate or House,” to publicly confront and harass members of the Trump administration wherever they are, they are not welcome anymore anywhere.” There has been no public statement from career politician Congressman Suozzi disavowing their rhetoric or even criticizing it. In fact his silence has become deafening. I remember the Democratic Leaders of my youth, President John F Kennedy and Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson. They would not recognize the Democratic Party of today. The Democratic Party has gone so far to the left that it does not represent the Ideals that made America great. All you have to do is look at the far left radicals and socialists who they have running for oﬃce. This is why I am voting for a true American hero like Dan DeBono for Congress.

Dems follow playbook blaming Washington

tate Comptroller Tom DiNapoli’s audit# claiming that New York sends more money to Washington than we get back, resulting in our being#shortchanged, is nothing new.# #DiNapoli#continues to play from the same old liberal Democratic playbook. Gov. Cuomo, Sens.# Schumer and Gillibrand, New York City Mayor de Blasio#along with most of our Congress members# continue to blame Washington for all of our problems just like their political ancestors from past decades. All have an insatiable appetite for more federal assistance with no concern about increasing the confiscatory level of taxation# to generate the revenues along with increasing long-term borrowing to pay for this or how the billions#of dollars are spent. They believe throwing more#taxpayer dollars at problems will solve all of society’s ills. Moving tax dollars from Albany to Washington redistributes

the wealth from the haves to the have-nots. The late Sen. Moynihan decades ago# documented how New Yorkers sent more money to Washington than we get back. Many other states could make the same argument. This imbalance also holds true in the distribution of state aid from Albany to the 62 counties of New York. You could take this analysis down to every town, village and local census tract.# # Since this imbalance will never change, we would be better oﬀ leaving tax levies at local levels of government. There will be significant savings in administrative costs and a greater percentage of locally generated revenues remaining in our communities. Generating, keeping and spending local funds in your communities also allows greater accountability and oversight by public oﬃcials and citizens from the same neighborhoods. The real question is how Albany manages the billions of dol-

lars already received from Washington every year.# Federal support for New York has remained consistent and growing. It has actually#increased# over# past# decades.# When a crisis occurred, be it 9/11 in 2001 or#Super Storm#Sandy in 2012,#Washington#was there for us.## Additional billions in federal assistance above and beyond yearly formula allocations were provided.# In 2009, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provided billions more.# Most# federal transportation grants require a 20 percent hard cash local share. In many cases, Uncle Sam#accepted toll credits instead of hard cash for the local share.# This saved the# Metropolitan Transportation Authority $1 billion in the previous 2010-2014 Five Year Capital Program. The MTA will save even more under the ongoing $32 billion 2015 – 2019 Five Year Capital Program. # Does Albany submit grant applications on time? Are current

federally funded programs being completed on time and within budget?# Is there any waste, fraud or abuse for expenditures of any taxpayers dollars? Has state Comptroller DiNapoli conducted audits of each respective state agency and authority to see if they are doing a good job managing federal aid programs?# It is diﬃcult to convince Washington for more money when Uncle Sam faces annual short-term deficits of close to $1 trillion dollars and long-term national debt of $21 trillion dollars! #We should learn from past mistakes and attempt to reduce both borrowing and long-term debt instead of allowing them to grow yearly. The combined New York City, New York State and federal debt is already over#$21 trillion dollars and growing. This inheritance could bankrupt future generations. Government at all levels needs to do a better job with the billions in taxpayer-generated# revenues already available,

rather than pick the pockets of taxpayers for even more. It is time for a return to payas-you-go budgeting; means testing for all government assistance programs; real balanced budgets without smoke and mirrors; stop hiding spending under so-called independent authorities whose budgets are oﬄine with little oversight by both the comptroller and state Legislature#along with actual surpluses and down payments to reduce long-term debt for all levels of government. How ironic that after winning the Cold War against the Evil Empire of Communism, it may be mismanagement of our economy that defeats us in the end. Unless we change our ways, America is on the road to losing our status as the World’s number one superpower. Just like mighty ancient Rome before the collapse, we are going down the path to becoming the world’s super debtor.# Larry Penner Great Neck

No place in G.N. for behavior at fair

e are fortunate and blessed to live in a vibrant and robust community which aﬀords us a wonderful quality of life, complete with terrific schools, parks and libraries. It’s the common denominator that unites us.# The disgraceful altercation at this weekend’s street fair, further fueled by the orchestrated aftermath, marked a new low for what is a wonderful and diverse community. The unfortunate behavior of one particular individual was, simply put, unflattering to us as a community, and disgraceful.#

That individual should oﬀer an apology and as a community, we should move on. Let me be crystal clear. I condemn intolerance at the highest level.# There are a few opportunists among us who don’t want us to move on. Healing doesn’t support the narrative that they are spinning. It’s hard to fathom someone wanting to create conflict.# # These individuals, who have taken to social media, the press, and their own personal blogs, have chosen to capitalize on an isolated, unfortunate, and disgraceful incident by using it

as a vehicle to divide the community to gain political points, are sorely misguided.# They have attempted to piggy back on one individual’s poor behavior and crafted an ill-conceived, destructive plot to divide our community for their own personal gain. Some individuals thought it clever to alter a group photo, share on social media to bolster a political agenda.# By the way, elected oﬃcials that are asked to pose for photos by would-be supporters do not screen nor do a back ground check.# ## The Great Neck peninsula is

full of cultural diversity, and to that end, our fabric as a larger extended community is that much richer for it.# Our common goals for our families, juxtaposed against the myriad of cultural distinctiveness here in Great Neck is a beautiful thing and should be a cause for celebration. Pay no heed to the bloggers that have routinely spewed hatred in the wake of fear of change and shifting demographics.# Rather than being threatened by change, they should be embracing it and actively seek to bring people together.# We may not always agree

on issues, and that’s okay. #One thing that defines us as a civilized society is how we handle ourselves in moments of discord. What happened to the notion of civil discourse? Where did the phrase, “let’s agree to disagree,” go? We need to remain steadfast in what unites us. What we share, our love for our families and community, our respective cultures and faiths, are far greater than any diﬀerences that divides us. Dr. Pedram Bral Mayor, Village of Great Neck

Why does library want Why I support Anna extremist on its board? Kaplan for state Senate

ur library should be a home for education, pluralism and equality for all. However, the board has endorsed a candidate who is known to many in Great Neck for his racist and outlandish views. David Zielenziger shows no respect for anyone who is in anyway different to him. How can we empower such an individual with a seat on our library board? Every week, for many years, Zielenziger has attended the Village of Great Neck and library board meetings. In an eﬀort to enlighten those not attending, he shares his reactions and opinions with his mass mailing list as a public service announcement.# Unfortunately, his PSAs show his xenophobia (his fear and distrust of that which is perceived to be foreign or strange). Zielenziger documents his derision of Orthodox Jews, Persians, Asians and anyone who disagreed with his worldview. He labels people imbeciles, idiots and morons. Please read the commentary that he adds to his blogs and decide if he is the right candidate for you? Frankly, I think it is shameful that people continue to read his weekly lies: * “Two flunkies from VHB, an exec VP and another aide, neither of whom did the work.” * “The Orthodox and their kind will be out voting “no” again, especially since the Trump tax. * “The N.Y. State Senate Republicans (plus their Orthodox Brooklyn stooge, Democrat.” * “Well, who’s the errand boy for the fanatical Orthodox community that has taken root here?”

* “Some of those clients, all Iranian and their wives, jeered and cackled in the back of the hall but didn’t speak.” * “Another long-promised chestnut to the Orthodox crowd that wants to save a few minutes walking to services each.” So: who asked the library president — with six days left in his insurgent campaign — to post any personal letter on the library homepage? Why couldn’t this wait until tonight’s meeting when the entire board could have approved it and signed it (and rewritten it)? I denounced this in public comment time as a Trumpish, sleazy campaign tactic. The last part says “we condemn such behavior,” which is appropriate, but who appointed him the library dictator? This is like the Roman emperors scratching their names on their monuments — or our Fuhrer signing his name in magic marker like a psychiatric patient on his empty proclamations. Library president had no response!” Tell me what will happen if there is a library dilemma that requires insight, a nonjudgmental opinion, or calls for a compassionate and tactful hand? Zielenziger has proven that he is incapable of delivering such unbiased, well balanced and thoughtful responses to such challenges. In my opinion, the library should respond professionally and remove Zielenziger from their poll. We, as an ethnically diverse Great Neck, should not vote for him and send a clear message that we are a pluralistic community — indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

orth Hempstead Town Board Councilwoman Anna Kaplan has always faced the challenges of an elected official head on. For that matter, her elected position carries huge responsibilities. Kaplan researches every issue of concern so that she has a broad grasp of each matter at hand. Always responding to every constituent as well as the community at large, she intently listens to different viewpoints. For that matter, she regularly schedules constituent and community meetings and discussions to air different points of view and to find consensus. Today we are faced with so many critical issues, and Kaplan has consistently and continuously been at the forefront trying to find solutions. A highly vocal advocate against gun violence, she continuously seeks common sense solutions for gun control. And in this light, she also wants to secure school safety. Kaplan is a proponent of women’s reproductive rights and public schools. Recently, the United Nations issued a stern warning about the dangerous rapidity of global warming and its effects.

Since she has always been concerned about the disappearance of environmental protections, she has been a huge proponent to protect the Earth from increasingly dangerous water, land and air pollution. This year, Kaplan is running on the Democratic ticket to represent the residents of the 7th New York State Senatorial District. This race is critical since the Republicans, who are in the majority, have defeated much legislation passed by the Assembly usually by only one vote for years. Kaplan’s election would allow passage of these blocked bills aﬀecting common sense gun control, healthcare, the environment, education and many other critical issues. Therefore, I urge everyone to come out and vote Row A for Anna Kaplan for the New York state Senate seat on Nov. 6. Remember, she is an ardent and dedicated supporter of and fighter for our community. Lee Seeman Democratic Committeewoman Great Neck

How to make voting easier for all

ue to concern over rumors of local voter fraud, the Port WashingtonManhasset League of Women Voters asked the Nassau County Board of Elections to audit all instances of voting irregularity for 2016. There appears to be no substance to these rumors, making Nassau County consistent with the rest of the Nation in maintaining the integrity of the voting process. Specifically, Nassau County Board of Elections Chief Clerk Essma Benkhoukha writes, “Please be advised that after reviewing our 2016 canvassing reports, we have found no instances of voting irregularities reported by poll workers or observers.” ! As the report indicates, Nassau County

is typical of the rest of the country where repeated, rigorous scholarly investigations have consistently found minimal instances of voter impersonation, non-citizen voters, and in-person fraud. These studies of election integrity throughout the United States show clearly there are!never more than five to ten instances per year out of 100 million votes. Now that it is established that our voting process functions properly, we can turn to getting more citizens to the polls. New York state ranks low in voter turnout, with more than a dozen polling precincts in our area having fewer than 5 percent turnout, and a third having 30 percent or fewer. Finding ways to make voting easier and more accessible for all citizens will help increase voter

presence at the polls. Like the League of Women Voters of New York State, we advocate for the following reforms, which have proven successful in many other states (codes in parentheses are New York Senate and Assembly bill numbers): Early Voting (S7400) — to allow voting 7 days before the election (as 37 other states do). No Excuse Absentee (A7623/ S0840) !— to allow voters to request to vote by mail without declaring a reason to do so. Voter Empowerment (S3304)— to modernize voter registration, making it more efficient, easier, less costly, and more accurate. Voter Friendly Ballot (S1512)!— to improve the readability and clarity of ballots.

Electronic Poll Book (A5547/S2788) — to expand the successfully piloted 2011 program statewide. Pre-registration 16 and 17 (A9609/ S1601) — to allow teens to pre-register at the Department of Motor Vehicles and be automatically enrolled on their 18th!birthdays. Single June Primary Election (A9925/ S3562) — to consolidate state and federal primary election dates to comply with the Military Overseas Empowerment Act. We ask that all candidates support these reforms, enabling more constituents to be heard and counted. Julie Meer Harnick, President League of Women Voters, Port Washington-Manhasset

Answer to where U.S. measurements went

he Declaration of Policy in!15 U.S. Code § 205b states: “It is therefore the declared policy of the United States —! * to designate the metric system of measurement as the preferred system of weights and measures for United States trade and commerce;

* to require that each federal agency, by a date certain and to the extent economically feasible by the end of the fiscal year 1992, use the metric system of measurement in its procurements, grants, and other businessrelated activities, except to the extent that such use is impractical or is likely to cause significant ineﬃciencies or loss of markets

to United States firms, such as when foreign competitors are producing competing products in non-metric units; * to seek out ways to increase understanding of themetric system of measurement!through educational information and guidance and in government publications; and

* to permit the continued use of traditional systems of weights and measures in non-business activities. (Pub. L. 94–168, § 3, Dec. 23, 1975, 89 Stat. 1007; Pub. L. 100–418, title V, § 5164(b), Aug. 23, 1988, 102 Stat. 1452.)” Marty Markson Great Neck

n a daily basis, one sees a multitude of ads for so many medical products! ‘for this and that’ followed by “See your doctor, see your doctor.” There has to be much money involved to pay for so much ad time. One day I heard about doctors making hordes of money prescribing opioids. As I am typing this, another like ad appears on TV. Add to the above how these days it is so prevalent and distressing also how money buys our government. Medical marijuana has been credited with having better benefits than opioids

and other products and does not produce a high. I passed through the pot thing 50 years ago. It interests me no more. I prefer my clear unbounded mind so much more not to say though that there weren’t fun party times in those days. There were some who went on to hard drugs who have been long gone. To my knowledge, no one has ever died due to marijuana. Charles Samek Mineola

D’Urso wrong to back bill mandating flu shots

tate Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso supports Assembly Bill 1240, which mandates the flu shot for infants as young as two months old who go to daycare so their parents can work. His opponent, Byron Divins, does not support this bill. You can find Assembly Bill 1230 here:! https://nyassembly.gov/ leg/?bn=A01230&term=2017.

According to the CDC, since 2004, the average rate of effective is 40 percent, ranging from 10 percent (2004) to 60 percent (2010). https://www.cdc.gov/flu/professionals/vaccination/effectiveness-studies.htm.! This isn’t much better than a placebo, which has an average effectiveness of 32 percent. (https://sciencebasedmedicine. org/placebo-are-you-there/)

Therefore, this medical decision should be made by parents, not the government. This is overreach. Divins says, “I oppose this bill.!The government should not force children to get the flu shot,!substituting its judgment for a parent’s judgment.” Evidently, many of D’Urso’s 213 fellow legislators in both the New York State Senate and Assembly agree with Divins. Only

five support this bill. Please consider Byron Divins for your vote or encourage D’Urso to change his position and trust parents to act in the best interest of their own children. Lorraine and Daniel Miller, Port Washington Antonia Fthenakis, Port Washington Pina LoGuidice, Great Neck

Zhang offers unique skills to library

started my first semester in college a few months ago. So far, I love it here. However, I’m realizing that the more I weave myself into the fabric of my school community, the less engaged I become with my hometown — Great Neck. During my parents’ recent visit to my university, they informed me of three things: 1. My little brother started taking swimming lessons despite being afraid of the water, 2. My normally energetic grandpa was temporarily hospitalized for an arterial clot, and 3. Qiping Zhang is running for the library board of trustees as a writein candidate. Out of those three items, Qiping’s write-in candidacy was the only news that did not surprise me. In fact, it made total sense. Though I’m not very knowledgeable in the details of the library election or politics, I grew up in the Great Neck libraries. I learned how to read and write English within the blue walls of the Parkville Library. I watched Levels theatre productions with my family on Saturday nights at the Main Library. I prepared for high school science fairs and environmental competitions at the Station Library. During SAT season, I essentially lived at the libraries. I know the libraries and I know Qiping Zhang; To me, her desires to run for a trustee position and to help the libraries make complete sense. These are three things I know about

Qiping: She’s an educator. I first met her when I was seven. To many, she was a professor of library and Information Science at LIU. But to me, she was my youth bible study teacher. Every week, her infectious enthusiasm and engaging lesson plans made Friday nights something to look forward to. Whether through acting, or storytelling, or singing, she brought her passion for education and unmitigated joy to every gathering. However, she taught me more than just about my faith. She walked with me through life, through personal struggles, through academic stress. She inspired me to contribute back to my own community. When I grew older and it became my turn to teach the Bible study children, she continued to support me with educational resources and example lesson plans. She’s the kind of person who knows what her students need, who loves her students like she loves her own children. She cares for her community. Qiping is the one who brings extra food to the barbeque, who makes more than enough baked goods for the fundraiser, who greets you with dumplings at the door. I’m incredibly appreciative of not only her amazing cold noodles but also all the other ways she’s dedicated herself to making families in the community feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Personally, I think back to all the times she’s sent me and oth-

ers home from church, even when it’s been completely out of her way. I think back to all the times she’s given my mom advice on how to eﬀectively communicate with angsty teenagers. I think back to all the times she’s sacrificed parts of her busy schedule to wholeheartedly help others. When I heard she started hosting community building seminars and lectures for the past few weeks, I was not surprised. Likewise, when I heard she was making her class online this semester to focus her time on the library, I was not surprised. Because that’s who she is: a devoted member of the community. She loves the library. When I was young, I remember being in awe of the array of books in Qiping’s house, especially the constantly changing inventory on her children’s bookshelves. She made the library a familiar space for her children, encouraging them to develop a passion for reading and a love of learning. Yes, she has several impressive qualifications including a PhD in Library and Information Science and a Masters in Psychology; however, more importantly, Qiping is a true library scientist and researcher at her core. She’s someone who creates a highly organized excel spreadsheet, complete with pictures, recorded times, and remarkably specific notes, to track the raccoon outside her house. She’s someone who can

become a near expert on a topic in a few days through careful research and eﬀectively acquiring information. She’s someone who understands how to manage library and information resources and how to apply the crucial perspective of education to the library. She’s someone who exercises these skills in every aspect of her life. In the community, Qiping is famous not only for her cold noodles but also for how many families she’s touched with her passion for education and her love of people. For several years, she has been a transformative force not only for my family but also for countless others. I can only imagine how many more people she could reach through the libraries. No matter where I am or where my education takes me, Great Neck will always be my home, my community. I will always remember the library as a safe space for curious learning and family bonding. My hope is that this continues to be the case for all the children in the town. Qiping Zhang devotes herself to core community values and education in the libraries. I believe that she will keep the library as a sanctuary space for intellectual inquiry and interactive community bonding for the future of our town. So I urge you to please go vote on Oct. 29, 2018 and write “Qiping Zhang” on the bottom of your ballot. Ann Zhang Great Neck

Some information for my critic

n his letter of Oct. 26, Paul Giarmo of Carle Place attacked Karen Rubin and me. Since Ms. Rubin is perfectly capable of defending herself, I will confine my remarks to defending the statements in my letter titled “Fascism is Coming to America.” I made the statement that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 election. Proof of this charge comes from several sources. On Oct. 7, 2016, the Department of Homeland Security stated that the U.S. Intelligence Community was confident that Russia had hacked into emails of the Democrats. Specifically, they hacked into John Podesta’s correspondence when he was the campaign manager for Hillary Clinton. The Russians, of course, denied these allegations and President Trump cried “no collusion.” We have reached a time in our country’s history when a president can “look in the eyes” of a dictator and believe him rather than trust his most qualified national security personnel. In January 2017, the director of

National Intelligence, James Klapper, stated that the Russians had interfered in our elections. This criticism as well as other statements brought him to the attention of Cesar Sayoc who was sending pipebomb packages to Democratic Party leaders and other critics of “the Donald”. On July 13, 2018, Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted twelve Russian military intelligence operatives for allegedly hacking email accounts of prominent Democrats. For more proof that “45” is leading us down the road to dictatorship Mr. Giarmo needs to use Google. I want to respond to another charge. I did call Trump the worst president in our nation’s history, but Mr. Giarmo says this is only my “viewpoint.” Au contraire,” many scholars agree with me. One survey of 170 members of the American Political Science Association classified him as the worst. A Gallup poll looked at ethics and found that Trump scored lower than any modern day president including Richard Nixon. Now, I expect to hear that these so-

called experts are all brie-eating, lattedrinking “pinkos.” Finally, let me address my statement that “Roe v. Wade’s fate has been sealed with the confirmation of Brett Kavenaugh to the Supreme Court.” Mr. Giarmo points out that the new justice “during his testimony under oath upheld the validity of the ruling.” If this is the case, then our president made a huge mistake since his list of prospective Supreme Court appointments came from the Federalist Society which would never put a pro- abortion judge on it. We should also know that Trump has long vowed to appoint only pro-life justices. The fact that Kavanaugh was testifying under oath never stopped previous nominees from skirting questions and avoiding how they would decide a future case. We do have some evidence of how Kavanaugh might vote. In Garza v. Horgan, a 17-year-old, undocumented immigrant asked to have an abortion. The D.C. Circuit Court heard the case and the judges held in favor of the teenager. Kavanaugh dissented and,

as a result, the abortion was delayed until the law no longer permitted it. Did Kavanaugh know what he was doing or was this an unfortunate mistake? As to being under oath, this doesn’t guarantee honesty. When asked about certain notations in his high school yearbook, he flat out lied. There’s also the contention that Roe v. Wade is “settled law” and not likely to be overturned. But if we look at the history of the court, Plessey v. Ferguson (1896) established the “separate but equal” doctrine. This remained the law of the land until 1954. Then the court held that “separate is inherently unequal.” In a unanimous decision, the Warren Court produced a new standard. So much for “established law.” I trust that this sets the record straight and that, as a result, Mr. Giarmo will vote the straight Democratic ticket on Nov. 6. Dr. Hal Sobel Great Neck

Seeking unity all our responsibility

est way to respond to political bullying (2) Thank you, Dr. Gries, for your letter regarding political bullying. As you have earned your PhD in psychology, I am happy to receive your professional opinion. However, since psychology is not an exact science, but rather a theoretical one, I must respond with my educated opinion – one formulated and gained through life and interaction with others. As I began reading your letter, I felt that it flowed nicely in the right direction. Yes, the first two paragraphs were right on the mark! ! Sigmund Freud would have been proud of you, that is, until your third paragraph where you suddenly digress and start to bring up names and accusations instead of remaining neutral. You had me totally fooled. !I thought that this was a letter regarding appropriate behavior- no, it was just another political slap in the face to anybody who did not agree with you politically, anybody who cared to stand for anybody with

whom you would not agree. You blindsided me! Absolutely no reason existed for you to bring up Donald Trump if the intent was to point out or define correct behavior. Your next statement referred to the need for aggressive assertiveness. Isn’t this exemplified by Trump’s response to the voices that would silence him? He has been maligned, attacked and insulted by the media and the political left. Should he simply slink oﬀ into the shadows and turn the other cheek? Would you remain silent and passive if a group of patients or peers suddenly churned out a string of insults against you or your intentions? I doubt it. Man is not meant to be passive, and if our president will not stand up for himself, who will? After eight years of sluggish economy, divisive behavior and destruction of moral health promoted by the previous administration, your words are an insult to anyone of integrity who cares about this great country! Then you write, “When Democrats confronted Brett Kavanaugh about his ly-

ing under oath,” I am now infuriated. It was the plaintiﬀ side that presented the false accusations and false evidence, and witnesses who recanted or rebutted all of the lies – all Democrats! Therein lies the rub! You say the Democrats failed to stand up and raise their voices. Absurd. How much footage exists of pitiful Maxine Waters, sorrowful Elizabeth Warren, misguided bully Robert DeNiro and their Queen Hillary promoting civil disobedience and protest, now to the level that it triggered a wacko with a criminal record to produce mail bombs, sixteen at last count, and somehow think he could exact revenge? Yes, his acts were despicable, but so were those by the “leaders” named in my previous sentence. I quote your final paragraph, “An assertive display of anger is genuine, emotional and unequivocal. It communicates that the oﬀensive words or behavior will not be tolerated or ignored, and that business, as usual, shall not be conducted until this is corrected.” I completely back you up on this

statement with one condition: This rule or condition shall be applied equally to all parties- Republican, Democrat, Conservative, Liberal, government or civilian, etc., including our President! No matter one’s status or position, it’s high time we all started acting like Americans and civil beings. Having lived through this once before in the 1960s and 70s, I’m sick and tired of the name-calling and the violence. The world is filled with opinions and personalities, but that is not what drives this country. Let’s show that E Pluribus Unum doesn’t just reflect on national origin but exemplifies listening to those diverse opinions, and from them formulating a just path to solutions. Isn’t that what America is supposed to be? It’s what I was taught. Perhaps it’s not too late for others to learn the same. Eric Spinner Proud American Veteran, Retired Educator New Hyde Park

Require candidates to release tax returns

ear voters, I was recently canvassing for a state senator (I won’t say who), but I have this disturbing

report. Many of the people I met said they either didn’t know the candidates or they “didn’t care about politics.” Eligibility and the right to vote in the United States was established both in the Constitution! and by state law and the right has been preserved and refined through three constitutional amendments (the! 15th,! 19th, and!26th). And yet, New York State in the last election in 2016 had a pathetic 57 percent voter turnout, the eighth worst in the country. Why is it that the right to bear arms elicits such passion, protests,

and bumper stickers, and yet the right to vote gets little more than a …“meh”? Thomas Jeﬀerson wrote that! a well-informed electorate is a prerequisite to democracy. And yet Americans would rather get their news and opinions formed by cable news programs that compete with your entertainment eyeballs than from really researching the issues. Perhaps this is why supermarket checkout lines are stocked with People Magazine and The National Enquirer and not “The Nation.” In any case, New York apathy at the polls is partially due to the pathetic excuse that whatever happens in a New York election won’t aﬀect the nation. New York is not a lucky Midwest swing state where a handful of uninformed voters get to determine policy and pres-

idents for 360 million other Americans. However, you have the opportunity on Tuesday, Nov. 6, to aﬀect national politics in a big way. You can elect a state senator to represent Port Washington, in District 7, who will vote for New York State Senate Resolution No. 26. This resolution, which will be voted on by the New York Senate this year, is called the Tax Reforms Uniformly Made Public Act. If approved, it will prohibit New York State electors from voting for a presidential candidate who has not publicly released at least five years of tax returns no later than 50 days prior to a general election. This state law would apply to both Democrats and Republicans equally. But it would ensure that our voters, our

electorate, is properly informed as to possible corruption, deceit, entanglements, and complications that a candidate may bring to the most powerful oﬃce in the world. So, if you love your right to vote as much as your right to bear arms, go to the polls and go informed. Before you cast your vote, ask yourself, will my candidate for the New York State Senate support and vote for this very sensible and fair New York State Resolution No. 26? Cast your vote for yourself, for Port Washington, New York, and America. It’s your right and your duty. Greg Winter Port Washington

This year our safety transcends candidate

usan Collins’ vote for Judge Kavanaugh was the last straw. There will be no reaching across the aisle, no compassion, no inclusion, tolerance, fairness, equality, protecting the planet and our children, grandchildren.! Here is Thomas L. Friedman from the New York Times of October 24, 2018: “So, this year: No third party, no Green Party, no throwing up our hands

and saying, “They’re all bad.” For today, in these midterm elections, vote for a Democrat, canvass for a Democrat, raise money for a Democrat, drive someone else to a voting station to vote for a Democrat. It’s the only hope to make America America again. Nothing else matters. Pass it on.” That’s exactly what I am doing and intend to do many more times before Election day. No more ‘objective’ listening to those who opine that ‘Hillary is/

was a bad candidate’. No more nodding in tacit acknowledgment that ‘Obama was too prone to compromise so he failed to get things done.’ No, no, no; those things may or may not be true, but nothing is as bad as the immorality, venality, viciousness, divisiveness, the abasement of power, people and truth over the last two years from the current President of the United States.

Saving the Planet for our children and grandchildren will come down to powerful State governors aligned with the courts to push back against the corrupt, money-influenced decisions by this President. Thus, Cuomo, Suozzi, Kaplan, Gillibrand, and every candidate on the Democrat side must receive your/our vote. Steven M Walk Great Neck

Phillips won’t condemn hate speech

hank you Anna Kaplan for denouncing a vile act of hate speech against the Asian-American and LGBTQ community right here in our very own backyard in Nassau County that occurred on Oct. 21, 2018 at the Great Neck Autofest and Street Fair in front of the Great Neck Republican Club’s table. !From Anna Kaplan’s public statement on Facebook, “The disturbing video of Great Neck Library Trustee candidate Mimi Hu being verbally attacked and harassed by two women who were standing at the Great Neck Republican Club table during last Sunday’s Great Neck Street Fair was an atrocious example of the unfortunate hatred and bigotry that persists in 2018.!! The cause of the incident (to the extent it can be discerned) is Hu’s support of transgender rights, which is an odd issue to arise in a library board election, but in the current political environment, seemingly no election is immune from the same forces of hate and intolerance that swirl through our national and state races.” !From the Island Now article posted on Oct. 24, titled “Library Candidate Assailed at Great Neck Street Fair,” the account is described like this.!!“In a video of the incident, the two women, Mersedeh Rofeim and Valerie Shalit, were heard calling Hu a ‘communist fascist’ and asking, ‘Are you a man or a woman?’! ! One said, ‘Take that sh*t to China,’ regarding support for transgender people and told her to ‘get out of my personal space’ as Hu tried to walk past a stand.” !“‘This is who we want,’ she said, referring to [write-in candidate Qiping] Zhang,

before pointing to Hu. ‘Not transvestite.’” ! “She and Shalit went on to chant ‘Shame on you!’” !“Rofeim continued to say, ‘No transgender to Great Neck. No transgender.’” ! I have never in 13 years of living on Long Island seen such blatant hatred for a minority group and against the LGBTQ community.!!Hu deserves credit for facing these individuals down, individuals who continued to spew their racist and transphobic bigotry despite knowing they were being filmed. ! Considering state Sen. Elaine Phillips is no stranger to social media, sharing her comings and goings, denouncements, endorsements and photo ops on a daily basis, I find it quite telling that she chose to sit this one out. I called her office on Oct. 25, a full five days after the incident happened and after pictures surfaced on Twitter of Republican congressional candidate Dan DeBono and Phillips posing with these two abominable characters.!! I was rudely shot down by her chief of staff, Kathy Wade, when I inquired if Phillips would be publicly condemning these acts of hate on Facebook. ! I passionately explained that in this hate-filled environment was perpetuated by our president and other Republican leaders and that slurs against Asian Americans and the LGBTQ community were despicable, disgusting and not to be tolerated, ever.! Wade was quick to cut me off and doubled down that no statement would be made on Facebook.

! When I challenged the reasoning, Wade basically said, “She doesn’t want to, doesn’t have to and doesn’t need to.”!! Instead, she told me that this incident was between the parties involved and that Phillips has a great relationship with the residents in Great Neck and need not worry.!!She also said that she would email me Phillips statement, instead, the only statement she would be making publicly. ! I hung up saying I looked forward reading this oﬃcial statement.!!Afterward, I received a single paragraph by email that appeared to be hastily written and wasn’t even on oﬃcial letterhead or signed by Phillips.!Additionally, the statement included no explicit support for the local Asian American and LGBTQ communities. !I found Phillips’ tepid response shocking, disgraceful and complicit.! ! In a postTrump world, silence is violence. !Perhaps Phillips’ silence has something to do with the fact that she voted twice to defeat the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act in committee (once in 2017 and once in 2018). According to the Washington Blade, “The Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act, or GENDA, was defeated in the New York Senate Investigations & Government Operations Committee by a 5-4 party-line vote.!!The measure would have amended the state human rights law to bar discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression and would have added transgender people to the state human rights law.” !In fact, Phillips was the deciding vote in 2018.!!It’s no wonder her most vocal sup-

porters are transphobic and why she didn’t want to touch the slurs against transgender individuals with a 10-foot pole!!! With Trump set to roll back transgender rights and protections, Phillips has made transgender New Yorkers particularly vulnerable by voting down the bill. ! I will never allow racial slurs and anti-LGBTQ rhetoric to go unchallenged in my backyard.! ! These women should be ashamed of themselves, and now they are playing the victims.!! The way they conducted themselves is not only an embarrassment but reveals the true hatred and intolerance they have for others and the racism and homophobia they have in their hearts. ! Phillips, as an elected oﬃcial, has a duty to vehemently call out hate speech in her district.!!Hate speech is un-American, and no decent person engages in it or turns a blind eye toward it.!!I will be adding this cowardly act to a long list of other reasons why Phillips should not be re-elected. !Phillips does not accurately represent the majority of her constituents’ views and, instead, panders to the hateful extremists among us.!! Therefore, I hope others will join me in supporting and voting! for Democrat Anna Kaplan, who recognizes the dignity of each and every one of her constituents and will fight to make sure New York remains the welcoming, accepting, big-tent state it has always been.

Paper’s editorial not wrong about G.N. Plaza

n Jean Celender’s Oct. 26!response to the Great Neck News editorial “Local Government Needs to Keep Up with Changes in Retail” (which addressed the Plaza’s inability to maintain a vibrant business district), our mayor shot herself in the foot. One of the reasons that stores are unable to stay in business in the Plaza is because of the parking problem. In her article, Celender described a beautiful brochure created by a marketing specialist that included a parking pamphlet identifying all the village parking lots, along with great marketing jargon about the wonderful oﬀerings in the Plaza. The pamphlet is lovely, but you can’t park in a pamphlet! Celender cites that in 2015 the village hired Level G, a parking consultant firm, which suggested increasing the parking rate from $0.25 per hour to $0.50 per hour “to encourage turnover and provide the village with additional revenues.” Our mayor’s article contends that shortening parking duration at double the cost would create a positive impact on stores and restaurants because there would be more frequent opportunities for people to park in town. Doubling the cost of metered parking did not go over well with either merchants or shoppers; and the five-minute grace pe-

riod on the meters isn’t worth much — it’s not even enough time to get quarters to feed the meters before code enforcement swoops down to issue a ticket. In essence, Celender wants to nickel and dime shoppers to fill the Plaza’s coffers. Yet she ignores a tremendous source of potential revenue for the village by refusing to enforce Shop Delight’s mega-infractions of its conditional use permit — such as refusing to ticket the many employees who continue to remain illegally parked for up to 12 hours a day on the streets adjacent to the store because they are consistently bypassed by code enforcement. In her response to this paper’s editorial, the mayor defends her code enforcement officers who she states are “cursed and yelled at.” I and many of my neighbors can attest first-hand to the reprehensible behavior of some of the code enforcement officers, particularly when residents on my block — who cannot find parking — have courteously asked the officers why the illegally parked Shop Delight employees are not being ticketed and then are subjected to angry, foulmouthed tirades by them. Regarding suggestions of valet parking to help ease the village parking problem, Celender stated:! “We do have enough parking for visitors, but they have to sometimes

be willing to walk a block or two and not expect to always park right in front of their destination […]. Our responsibility to our residents is to provide a safe downtown. […] There are constant traffic issues that would be made more dangerous with valet parking. We have had pedestrians hit by cars whose drivers do not obey traffic laws. They speed, make illegal U-turns, go through stop lights, roll through stop signs and double park, creating dangerous situations.” The problem is so bad that an article appeared in the “Our Towns” section of Newsday about lack of pedestrian safety in Nassau County, listing the villages with the worst problems; Great Neck Plaza was at the top of the list. Accidents and deaths still occur regularly on Middle Neck Road, and Celender has not mitigated the problem. When the now-defunct pedestrian safety committee pointed out all of the ongoing incidents with aggressive drivers on Middle Neck Road many years ago, Celender deflected, saying that Middle Neck Road was Nassau County’s problem and was not under her domain. And once again, in her article, Celender repeats “we have to rely on the Nassau County Police Department for traffic enforcement.” However, it is not apparent that she has been willing to work with Nassau

County to find any viable solutions. Celender’s concluding statement against valet parking stated that “valet parking requires that there be available space in nearby parking lots to park the cars.” In her article, didn’t she just tout her beautiful marketing brochure that alludes to all the available parking in the village lots?! Celender writes that “rent increases and a lack of cooperation from the landlord(s)” have made it prohibitive for many businesses to keep operating. When I walked past the now-closed Ruby restaurant recently, a letter was taped on the door stating that the tenant was no longer allowed to enter, as the locks had been changed due to non-payment of rent. The letter was signed by the landlord’s attorney, Jeﬀrey Schwartz, a.k.a. Jean Celender’s husband. In the 1600s, when Shakespeare wrote Queen Gertrude’s famous line responding to the insincere overacting of a character in Hamlet, he surely couldn’t have known that those words would become the benchmark in everyday speech to indicate doubt in someone’s sincerity. Regarding Jean Celender, “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” Muriel Pfeifer Village of Neck Plaza (We want our “Great” back.)!!

Phillips an effective partner, advocate for L.I.

t is time to cut through the political rhetoric, misstatements and untruths regarding state Sen. Elaine Philips. While currently serving as Mayor of the Village of Williston Park, I have had a tremendous amount of interaction with Sen. Philips, and it has always been positive. She has been extremely helpful and dedicated to resolving various issues, when called upon. As a former mayor, she fully understood the needs of her constituents and has utilized this experience to deal with her current, larger constituency.

She is an individual who has gone out of her way to listen and react to the concerns of both district and state issues, not hesitating to “work across the aisle.” Sen. Philips is accessible and available to all, as she works tirelessly, to provide representation for Long Island residents. In this, her first term, she has made a point of becoming familiar and knowledgeable of the pressing needs facing the communities she represents. She is not afraid to stand up for her beliefs and acts for the benefit of all, regardless of party aﬃliation. Her presence in Albany has

been a benefit for all those she serves. She has made it a point to stand up to for Nassau County over New York City, in order to protect the needs of Long Island. Sen. Phillips has been supportive of our veterans, first responders and our school districts. "As mayor, I can attest to her commitment to our first responders. She has helped secure funding to assist in the purchase of fire equipment for Williston Park and other fire departments in her district. As the former president of the Herricks School Board, the need to protect state funding is

paramount for all long island school districts. Her commitment in this area is critical for all Long Island. She is an eﬀective leader, who listens, digests and takes needed action. While not in Albany, the senator is personally active and visible throughout her Senate District, sponsoring health and informational programs, supporting Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Senior Programs and disaster preparedness to name a few. Long Island is a wonderful place to live, with the help and support of Sen. Elaine Phillips, residents can expect to have im-

proved quality of life. Keeping residents safe, maintaining school funding, supporting law enforcement and working to help keep taxes down is a high priority for Senator Philips. My wife, Doreen Ehrbar, former mayor of Williston Park, fully supports this message and with me, ask all to vote for Elaine Philips on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 6. Paul M. Ehrbar Mayor, Village of Williston Park

A letter to Trump on hate-related violence

ear President Trump: Bitter tears alone will not stop the increase in acts of violence in our

nation. Today, Americans are in shock in the aftermath of the largest single incidence of anti-Semitic murder in our history." The

Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Anti-Defamation League confirm that acts of religious and racial hatred are on the rise. Our response must be more assertive than the simple acknowledgment that there is evil in this world. The root cause of acts of

cold-blooded violence against Americans who are black, Jewish and Muslim must be addressed." Complacency in the face of brutality is mere capitulation and is decidedly un-American. In the past, America’s leaders have ordered the creation of commissions of experts to study and

report on impending crises. The National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders, the National Commission on the Causes and Preventions of Violence and the National Commission on Terrorist Acts Upon the United States are examples. I respectfully urge that you

order the empaneling of a commission at your very earliest opportunity." The life of our nation depends on a powerful response to this all too clear and all too present danger. Charles Lavine State Assemblyman

Village public hearing needed for Dejana project

ayor Avena and members of the Board of Trustees Village of Manorhaven, Manorhaven and Manhasset Isle residents along with three civic groups are requesting that an immediate public hearing be scheduled by the Board of Trustees before the Nov. 13 BZA meeting regarding the recent variances submitted by Secatoag 2026 LLC and Peter Dejana for the development of 18-unit, 56 ft 4-story high residences on his E-1 zoned property, located at 22 Sagamore Hill Drive in Manhasset Isle. The 10 overreaching and

out of proportion variances requested by Peter Dejana seek to significantly override many of our existing village building codes. Their approval as a whole or in part will irreversibly change the character of the Village of Manorhaven and its residents’ way of life. If approved, the changes will be detrimental by causing major infrastructure, overcrowding, traﬃc, parking, commuter, health and welfare concerns, aﬀecting not only Manorhaven but all of Greater Port Washington. This massive and uncharacteristic project in the E-1 zone requires public consideration as well as the Board of Trustees Due Diligence.

A project of this magnitude requires visionary plans, impact studies and public hearings before it makes its way to the Zoning Board of Appeals. The eﬀect of adding 400800 new residents and thousands of more cars to the half square mile most densely populated village in New York State required the mayor and board’s oversight before BZA consideration. This lack of oversight and irresponsibility exhibited by the Mayor is especially egregious because he is aware of the precedent this may set for the applicant given the applicant’s other large E-1 zoned lots and given the other large lots which are awaiting development,

particularly the 11-acre Thypin Steel property. By relegating this to the BZA, which is required by law to disregard public opinion, Mayor Avena had eﬀectively disallowed any public consideration. He has therefore abdicated and ignored his fiduciary obligation to the 7,000 residents he was elected to serve and showed disregard to the future of the Village of Manorhaven and the impact on Greater Port Washington. Mayor Avena’s judgment and motives are further called into question given his conflict of interest being employed as grant coordinator of the Dejana

Foundation and as Peter Dejana’s brother in law. His actions removing certain members of the BZA and appointing others were also questionable. Given all of the reasons and facts stated above, we hereby request an immediate halt to the Nov. 13 consideration of this project by the BZA and demand a village-wide notification of a public hearing be held as soon as possible.

VIEW POINT

Divisive tactics spark bomb threats, shootings Continued from Page 71 “Our highest national leaders are legitimizing rhetoric once confined to the paranoid extremes of our society – railing against ‘globalists,’ who all happen to be prominent Jews, complaining about ‘white genocide,’ attacking immigrants for ‘threatening our culture,’ and spreading crackpot conspiracy theories to advocate imprisoning their political opponents. These words

are like sparks to the gasoline of disturbed minds. These words can kill,” stated Tom Malinowski, a Democratic congressional candidate in New Jersey who served as assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor in the Obama administration. “It is fundamental to our American identity that everyone, no matter their faith, race or place of birth, feel welcome among us and safe in expressing

who they are. It is fundamental that when Neo-Nazis and other haters march, that we come together against them, and not treat the patriotic Americans who rise up in protest as their equals. It is fundamental that those who represent us do more than release the occasional statement to combat the tide of bigotry that’s been unleashed in our nation. It is past time to put country over party and oppose leaders who

cater to extremism and then absolve themselves of responsibility for what they have done.” These midterm elections are, in fact, the most important of our lifetime, that will set the course and framework for who America is, what America has become. But if Republicans retain control, Trump will be emboldened, especially with a Kavanaugh Supreme Court anointing him the Unitary Executive

inoculated against the Rule of Law. Trump will be liberated to follow up on his worst instincts (no, we haven’t yet seen the low worst), while McConnell will ram through right-wing judges, repeal health care, and slash the social safety net, stripping away Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, CHIP to pay for the Republican $1.5 trillion tax cuts and exploding budget deficit. Vote Tuesday, Nov. 6.

OUR TOWN

Red, blue states and politics of madness The ongoing American zeitgeist grows more worrisome by the day. We were once described with the phrase American exceptionalism but those days are long gone. Political culture is now characterized by catchy sound bites, divisiveness and what I like to call the politics of stupidity. Red! states versus blue states, Fake News, the Age of Trumpism, the politics of rage, Brett Kavanaugh. It’s enough to give one pause. So let’s do just that. Let’s pause as the mid-term elections approach and consider what is actually happening in American culture. Things were not always this way. One of the few benefits of aging is that one recalls the way things were. Let us go back to the early 1960s when for one brief hope was in the air. But on Nov. 22, 1963 John Kennedy was assassinated. And three weeks after that Jackie Kennedy gave an interview to Life Magazine and she said “There’ll be great presidents again but there’ll never be another Camelot again. It will never be that way again.” The lyrics to the musical were written by Alan Lerner who was a classmate of Kennedy at Choate and Harvard. Recall when Richard Harris sung “Don’t let it be forgot, that once there was a spot. For one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot.” It seems to me that it’s all been downhill for America since that fateful day.

Since then history has given us Richard Nixon, the Vietnam War, an oil embargo, the drug and sexual revolution, trickledown economics, the Iraq War, the bombing of the World Trade Center, flattened wages, the collapse of the middle class, the end of the American Dream, the rise of corporate power, the rise of the 1 percenters, social media as the new social life, school shootings and mail bombs and finally shootings in a synagogue. We are a long, long way from Camelot. For more than 50 years we have seen the rise of paranoia, anomie, social isolation and anxiety. Our times have been called the age of anxiety and the age of narcissism. All this prompts the simple question “how did we get into this mess?” America is like a raging tiger lit on fire and roaring into the future. And the ride grows scarier by the week. Desperate to find answers, I called up my friend Judge Scott Fairgrieve and asked him to lunch. Scott Fairgrieve is one of the most reasonable, fair-minded and learned men I know and I felt he may be able to shed light on our current zeitgeist. Judge Fairgrieve has been a judge at the Nassau County District Court for 18 years, teaches at LIU Post and has published over 250 legal decisions. I met Scott through sports since I’m a sports psychologist and he is a serious long-distance runner. On this day he was nurs-

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

ing a swollen knee following a marathon run in the cold. It is always a mystery to me how long-distance runners are able to withstand all the pain but somehow they can. During our lunch what I learned from the judge is that his job is to listen carefully to both sides of an argument and come to a fair and equitable decision somewhere in between. And referring back to Camelot King Arthur came up with the idea of the round table where all matters would henceforth be settled in a ‘court of law’ and not on the battlefield with violence. Those were medieval times and obviously, we’ve grown since then. Thank God we still have courts of law and settle our disputes with logic and fairminded judges. But these basic foundations of our government do seem to be threatened at this time. I am especially interested in the current attack on the Fourth Estate. Back in 1791 freedom of the

press was established as a First Amendment right to prevent the government from interfering with the distribution of information and opinion. In this age we now live in it’s as if the entire nation were caught up in some kind of street fight and there is no place of safety or peace or truth. If you travel overseas you clearly realize that our nation has enormous abundance and success and money. We are great exporters of entertainment and sports and art and science and intellectual property. It is quite ironic that we are the true exporters of the American Dream but somehow we simultaneously destroyed the American Dream for ourselves. It seems that we have lost faith in our leaders. Parents, politicians, priests and CEO’s are uniformly distrusted.. And now we are even losing faith in the integrity of the press.

I think one cause of all this relates to social structure. In the past people would congregate in social spaces called cafes to share ideas, engage in civil debate and find humanity and mores. Café life has been replaced with chat rooms where people spew things out and rant without the benefit of real social contact which serves to temper things. Marshall McLuhan said television is a ‘cool medium’ and by this he meant it tended to feel dead so that the media who have to enflame things to make the tube more interesting. All we can do is to hope that someday soon people will remember what it was like to speak and to listen and to be human and social. Madness abounds right now but humans do have a way to makes things better when they set their minds to it. I hope that day comes soon.

Business&RealEstate

Heading into ‘bearish’ real estate market? I have been doing a lot of reading lately and have experienced the real estate market is slowly moving in a slightly less “crazy and frenzied” direction; however, it’s still strong, especially in our local towns in price points of $450,000$1,000,000. However, as I mentioned in last weeks column, prices for the luxury market here and in New York City are definitely cooling, “not crashing” due to maximum allowable deduction of $10,000 (S.A.L.T.-State and local taxes) and the increased cost of financing. Moreover, as real estate taxes go above that allowable deduction, the purchase process slows and there are fewer buyers quickly stepping forward, as they did in the past, when you could deduct all your State and local taxes (you can still deduct up to $750,000 of interest on your mortgage, reduced from $1,000,000). However, if you are in the 1 percent club, as an-ultra wealthy buyer, it’s more of a psychological eﬀect than a money barrier; but negotiations can be more extreme, especially going into the win-

ter months, when fewer purchasers are out in that luxury market and the snowbirds are down south, which is the best moment in time to “pull the trigger.” It is important that going forward you must be extremely diligent and knowledgeable when pricing your home to sell. I see price adjustments on places that are overpriced, staying on the market for several months based on the decreased demand for those luxury properties. I have also noticed an uptick in certain groups purchasing co-ops and condos as opposed to homes. I have asked customers why they have made that transition and the overriding reason was that most homes were beyond their financial capability (or comfort zone), but they wanted the local schools for their children’s education and residing in that specific town was critical to their plan and final decision. Even still, if somehow prices were to decrease across the board, let’s say, 10 percent, the dollar reduction and impact would be less on condos and co-ops, than it would be on a home priced much higher.

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

Then some would consider buying a home in that market, because the savings at that point would be considerably greater than their decreased price or possible loss on their current condo or co-op and would be well worth it! Buying up in a down market is generally an excellent approach, but you have to strategize and plan your move and look at all the angles and tax benefits. In a recent article, National Housing Inventory Crisis Reaches Inflection Point, realtor.com reported that: 1. New listings jumped 8 percent year-over-year nation-

ally, the largest increase since 2013 2. Total listings in the 45 largest markets are now up 6 percent on average over 2017, This increase in housing inventory has sparked two diﬀerent reactions. Some are saying this is the first sign of a potential collapse while others are saying it is a welcomed reprieve from the lack of inventory that has stalled the market recently. As Zelman & Associates reported in a recent ‘Z Report’: “With the rate of home price appreciation starting to decelerate alongside the uptick in inventory, we expect significant debate whether this is a bullish or bearish sign.” Is this a sign the market might crash? There are those who look at the increase in inventory as a sign that we are returning to the market we saw last decade. However, a closer look shows that we are nowhere near the levels of inventory we reached before the crash in 2008. A normal market would have about 6-months inventory, but the latest Existing Home Sales Report issued by the Na-

tional Association of Realtors revealed that: “Unsold inventory is at a 4.3-month supply at the current sales pace up from 4.1 months a year ago.” A decade ago, prices began to rapidly depreciate in June 2007. At that time, we had a 9.1-month supply (more than double what it is today) and inventory kept rising until it hit a peak of 11.1 months in April of 2008. With the current levels of buyer demand, any such increase in months supply is highly unlikely. As Danielle Hale, realtor.com’s Chief Economist explains: “After years of recordbreaking inventory declines, September’s almost flat inventory signals a big change in the real estate market. Would-be buyers who had been waiting for a bigger selection of homes for sale may finally see more listings materialize. But don’t expect the level to jump dramatically. Plenty of buyers in the market are scooping up homes as soon as they’re listed, which will keep national increases relatively small for the time being.” What will be the result of the increase in inventory? The increase in inventory will allow many families who had been unable to find a home to finally become homeowners. Again, we quote from the ‘Z Report’: “In our view, the short-term narrative will probably be confusing, but more sustainable growth and aﬀordability will likely be the end result.” The Bottom Line: If you are either a first-time or second-time buyer who has given up, let’s get together discuss the inventory available in our market.

Hu, Sontag win ‘unprecedented’ race Continued from Page 1 out the right way,” Sontag said. “I think that the people that need to be on the board are on the board and we’ll get some good change coming in.” Among the changes Sontag said he hopes to see implemented are improving the programs already there, bringing in a community advocate and engaging people more to get them to come back to the library. Schaufeld, who had run for a one-year term in hopes of finishing ongoing projects like the branch library renovations and a landscaping project for the Main Library, said he is disappointed with the results but that the “future is bright” for the Great Neck Library. “I’m obviously disappointed, but the public has voted and they expressed their desire for change,” Schaufeld said, noting that he has three months left on his term. Sassouni, who was nominated earlier this year to fill a vacancy on the board, was elected to a four-year term for Joel Marcus’ expiring seat as an independent candidate and defeated Nominating Committeeendorsed David Zielenziger 1,077 to 611. More than 400 people didn’t select either candidate. Sassouni said in an email message Tuesday: “Our Library is a catalyst, connector, supporter, and guide for our community’s motivated groups and individuals. The voter turnout yesterday is proof that our community cares deeply for this institution and the multiple roles it takes on – and I am so grateful for the trust bestowed upon me as a Trustee. I especially hope to see new faces getting involved alongside the Trustees at the Board and Committee meetings that are open to the public!” “I was surprised to have even been nominated and it would have been fun to serve,” Zielenziger said via email. “However, Mimi and Scott are both smart, pre-

Mimi Hu, Chelsea Sassouni, Scott Sontag and Josie Pizer won their respective Great Neck Library trustee races. pared and younger than most of the current trustees. For sure, the Library will have a more capable president than the one defeated today.” Pizer, an incumbent, won her uncontested race with 1,077 votes, while Nominating Committee candidates William Gens, Alex Au and Francine Krupski each won their uncontested races with 925, 983 and 979 votes, respectively. In all of these races, more than 1,100 voters did not cast a vote for any candidate. The totals exclude the approximately 100 “emergency ballots” – meaning ones that had to be counted by hand – and roughly 90 or so proxy ballots. The days leading up to the election were heated, with some candidates facing allegations including wanting to bring drag queens into the library to indoctrinate children to being anti-Semitic and racist against the Persian community. A week before the election, Hu also appeared to be targeted over support for the LGBT community in an incident that was recorded on a video viewed more than 10,000 times. In that incident, two women called her a “communist fascist,” asked her

if she was a man or a woman, and said to “take that —- to China” regarding support for transgender people. Messages had circulated on WeChat connecting LGBT rights, transgender bathrooms and bringing so-called drag queen story hour to the library in what appeared to be an eﬀort to connect Hu to social issues. The presence of Zielenziger on the ballot also appeared to spark some concerns, with some voters pointing to an article he wrote in 2015 entitled “Worried About Iran? Great Neck Has Just Been Taken Over by Iranians” as an example of “hatred” against Orthodox Jews and Iranians and his frequent questions at village board meetings. One man emailed Zielenziger after the election, calling him a “low life, racist, liberal scumbag,” using obscenities and saying he “would love to bump into you at the library and break your glasses in half.” Zielenziger said shortly after the results were announced that a last-minute campaign was “more interested in frightening and scaring people and causing resentments by accusing me of being a Jew

Between the Main Library and the Parkville Branch, more than 2,000 people cast ballots in this year’s contested Great Neck Library trustee races. hater, which is impossible” than qualifications for the trustee position. This is a sharp contrast to recent elections, where a few hundred – not thousands – of people voted. In 2015, former Trustee Francine Krupski retained her seat on the board with just 104 votes, Douglas Hwee unseated incumbent Trustee Varda Solomon 275 to 218 in 2016, and fewer than 250 people decided on two trustees and Nominating Committee members in 2017. Rebecca Rosenblatt Gilliar, a library advocate and community activist for 30 years, described it as an “astonishing election” considering it involved a library. “I knew that it was going to be a big turnout because of the rhetoric in the public space. You could tell,” Gilliar said. “There was too much fire and brimstone attached to this election. I just didn’t know where exactly the fires would be.” But she also said the election went beyond the institution itself. “I don’t think this election was about the library,” Gilliar said. “I think it was about a community with some serious schisms.”

Backlash prompts MedMen review Continued from Page 2 addresses residents’ concerns,” Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan, who represents parts of Great Neck and Manhasset, said at the meeting. While both town oﬃcials and residents said they support medical marijuana, they said the main concerns are the dispensaries’ locations, how MedMen and its competitors might market them and what will happen if recreational marijuana is legalized. David Chiang, the president of the Chinese American Association of North Hempstead, who said he had a petition from more than 3,200 people against having a retail-style medical marijuana facility, was among the many who spoke. Chiang referred to the MedMen store on Fifth Avenue, where the company has sold T-shirts, hats and paraphernalia, and said the company wants to use medical marijuana as a foot in the door to eventually sell recreational marijuana to children. “I don’t want [my children] to grow up in an environment where they think that’s cool, they want to go in and check it out,” Chiang said. “I think that they [MedMen] basically want this location for the publicity and they’re just waiting for the opportunity once January comes or whenever it’s legalized.” Dais said the conversation seemed to be putting “a scarlet letter” on people seeking help and marijuana has been tied to zero overdoses.

This is while pharmacies and other facilities sell opioids, which he said an average of four people in New York overdose from per day, Dais said. “The outcry is on one end and not the other,” Dais said. “That seems kind of oﬀ balance because I do realize in today’s world, in today’s political climate we no longer go by science or facts, we go by fear – we don’t go by understanding.” Board members and residents took issue with the argument’s framing, including Councilman Angelo Ferrara. “I guess what you’re saying then is that we should put your business out of business and let CVS sell it,” Ferrara said to applause. “The concern is not the medical marijuana and saying that it’s a hardship to put it where we’ve located it, that’s where our hospitals are, so it’s equally a hardship for our medical patients to get there.” Bosworth said the state Department of Health chose the Marcus Avenue site, which nobody expressed concerns about, and said the question is why MedMen is moving into a retail area after having just moved into its Lake Success location. “It wasn’t chosen for second-class citizens, it was chosen because it was the right place for a medical marijuana facility,” Bosworth said. Dais said the majority of its North Shore patients come from Great Neck and Manhasset, which drew groans and a “We don’t need it” from the crowd, and part of the reason for the move is to be “more convenient and treat it as any

pharmacy.” Dais also said more people in New York are consuming marijuana in general than in any other state, and MedMen is looking at the issue from a “public health standpoint,” saying the company can keep it from being contaminated. “So from a public health standpoint, we can look at an opportunity to make it safer,” Dais said. Bosworth reiterated, “We are here to discuss the relocation of the facility from Lake Success” and how it’s “just not understandable” why it would move. Some Town Board members also signaled support for potentially banning the sale of recreational marijuana throughout the town, even if New York legalizes it, including Dina De Giorgio, who represents Port Washington. “I think that the reality is MedMen and its competitors don’t really care about medicinal marijuana,” De Giorgio said. “The medicinal marijuana is a smokescreen to eventually be able to sell marijuana for recreational use because the state has strongly signaled, especially in the last week, that legalization is on the horizon.” Richard Bentley, the president of the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations, said the Town Board has gone beyond what they hoped for and described Thursday’s developments as a victory for residents. “The town has done a great job at making sure the Miracle Mile doesn’t turn into the boulevard of broken dreams,” Bentley said on Friday. Teri West contributed reporting.

Rice calls for new leadership, agenda Continued from Page 3 Among the things she and fellow Democrats would support are legislation to protect Robert Mueller, the special counsel who is leading an investigation into Russia’s eﬀorts to interfere with the presidential election and any potential links with the Trump campaign. “What we can do is hopefully do everything we can to protect the independent counsel, but also not allow individual committees within the House and the Senate to be armed as political weapons,” Rice said.

Regarding the confirmation of Judge Brett Kavanaugh, Rice said she would not have voted for him because she didn’t find him “credible” in countering Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations that he sexually assaulted her and his involvement in crafting policy in the George W. Bush administration. “The most disturbing thing about that hearing to me is looking at the left side of the room as you’re looking at the TV – it’s 11 white men, same thing as 30 years ago when Anita Hill was going through the Clarence Thomas hearings,” Rice said.

She also cited this as a reason for implementing term limits of four terms for the House of Representatives and two terms for the Senate. “If we’re not going to get rid of gerrymandering and draw districts that are even somewhat remotely competitive, without disenfranchising any particular group, then yeah, there should be term limits,” Rice said. On immigration, Rice said she was among a bipartisan group of legislators that visited the border and concluded more should be done to secure it.

But there are also a number of issues that need to be addressed like the lottery system, family reunification, how many refugees the country should accept and how the asylum process is fixed, Rice said. “All of us Democrats said we need to do more to secure our borders, but we also cannot be ripping babies from mothers’ arms,” Rice said. “The answer is we have to have a seat at the table,” Rice later added, “and we haven’t had a seat at the table in two years.”

Storm barriers could put coast at risk Continued from Page 66 congressional oﬃce. The Corps has grown more aware and responsive to public concern, Brown said. Much of the public that knows about the project, however, is still wary, she said. “I hear the public saying we recognize that projects need to be undertaken. Sea level rise and storm surges are upon us and we need to protect our communities … but we can’t rush it,” Brown said. “We need to be really thoughtful and

make sure we get the best possible solutions.” Catherine Seavitt, an associate professor of landscape architecture at the City College of New York, has worked on various projects that have investigated potential ways to address the impacts of climate change on coasts in the area. Solutions are complicated, especially when trying to treat all regions and vulnerable populations equitably and justly, she said. She worked in conjunction with the Corps on a project related to this new

one"and said she isn’t sure whether this particular study intends to move into actualization or is mostly meant to evaluate. Corps “projects” are usually more action-oriented than “studies” like this, she said. Many people in the area have grown frustrated by a lack of action since Hurricane Sandy, Seavitt said, but she doesn’t think sea barriers are the solution. Instead, we should examine the environmental realities of individual communities and respond to natural circumstances through various combinations

of migration and infrastructure adjustments, she said. That would involve determining which areas are inhabitable, which have critical enough infrastructure to justify structural reinforcement and which are best as green, vegetative areas. “What do you do if you can’t kind of seal an opening?” she said. “How do you live more nimbly in a zone that’s getting wet and dry more often? I think there’s a way to be more amphibious.”

G.N. GOP Free benefit concert in Great Neck condemns street fair incident COMMUNITY NEWS

Hatzilu Rescue Organization is sponsoring a concert on Nov. 11 featuring some of the most exciting talent in Jewish music today, while celebrating the community service that Hatzilu has provided for more than 40 years. The non-profit volunteer organization was established in 1976." Hatzilu serves the elderly and poor in Jewish communities and families throughout Nassau County, providing financial aid, food, social welfare assistance and emotional support. “For more than four decades Hatzilu has been changing the lives of thousands by helping them to maintain their dignity through diﬃcult times,” shares Alan Levine, the group’s president. “When

Jewish families fall on hard times due to death, illness, unemployment, divorce or any other misfortunes that occur, Hatzilu is there to provide help.” To celebrate the work of Hatzilu and to raise funds for the future, Cantor Raphael Frieder of Temple Israel of Great Neck will headline a musical celebration that will feature duets and solos with other outstanding cantors such as Cantor David Katz of Congregation Or Elohim in Jericho and Cantor Elizabeth Shammash of Temple Tiferet Bet Israel in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania.

FP-Bellerose UFSD bond approved On Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018, residents of the Floral ParkBellerose UFSD approved a $17.5 million bond referendum to fund renovations and expansion at both Floral Park-Bellerose Elementary School and John Lewis Childs Elementary School. The final vote was 754 YES and 493 NO. “We are extremely grateful to all community residents who participated in this vote,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Michael Dantona. “As a result of the community’s continued support, we will now be able to create an equitable 21st-century learning environment for all students in both of our schools that addresses their needs and supports student success.” The list of repairs and renovations included in the bond referendum was developed based upon a demographic study and

enrollment projection performed by Western Suﬀolk BOCES, an analysis of instructional requirements and goals, recommendations from the Strategic Planning Committee and input from parents, teachers, administrators and community residents. “Once again, our community has shown they value quality schools and a quality education,” said Board of Education President Laura A. Ferone. “I am proud to live in a community where our children’s future is a priority. We will keep our community informed as we begin the process of addressing the scope of work included in the bond.” For more information about the bond referendum, please visit the district’s website at www.fpbsd.org.

Continued from Page 65 “We all should work to elevate our public discourse and show respect and civility to one another,” she added. Chris McKenna, a spokesman for the Phillips campaign, also stressed that Phillips “was nowhere near this incident and only learned of it later,” that the two women have no involvement in the Phillips campaign, and referred to Hu’s comments. A spokeswoman for DeBono said last Thursday night that the campaign also had “no idea” about the incident until then and that the issue will be raised with DeBono. Anna Kaplan, a Democratic candidate for state Senate District 7 from Great Neck, also spoke out about the incident and described it as “an atrocious example of the unfortunate hatred and bigotry that persists in 2018.” “I salute Candidate Hu on her ability to keep her composure and to respond to vile provocations with class and professionalism,” Kaplan posted on Facebook. “I unreservedly condemn the two women who attacked her and call for them to apologize to Hu and to Great Neck itself for bringing such disrepute upon the community.”

N. Shore targeted by phone scams: police Continued from Page 26 That bipartisan support makes it likely that the amendments will pass, Presiding Oﬃcer and Legislator Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said in an interview. “We do what we’re told,” 3rd Precinct Inspector Gregory Abruzzo said after the meeting. “We’re good followers. We do what the county executive and the police commissioner want us to do.”

In addition to phone scams, officers gave presentations on how to prevent break-ins and ways that developing technology is affecting young people’s safety. Officer Michael Costanzo said that making your home seem inhabited at all times can deter burglars. He suggested leaving the television on and not telling people that you’ll be going out of town. Officer Thomas Brock spoke about

issues aﬀecting youths. Drugs are a big concern, especially since the stigma surrounding them has changed and people are using new products to smoke them, he said. “Stores like Hot Topic, dispensaries, they sell clothing apparel to hide these drug,” Brock said. “It’s not the old days with Bob Marley, ganjas, stuﬀ like that.” Cyberbullying is also a police con-

cern, he said. “These kids are bullied up to 16 hours a day,” Brock said. “They get bullied in school and they get home and get bullied on the internet.” The Police Department has been sending oﬃcers to all level of schools to teach students about safety issues, the oﬃcers said. Brock said he is considering starting anti-bullying clubs in schools.

LIU undefeated after 41-6 win over rival BY M AT T W E I N S T E I N Coming oﬀ a big Homecoming win, 37-6, against Saint Anselm College, the LIU Post football team defended its undefeated streak in a match against long-time rivals, the Pace University Setters, on Oct. 20. The 41-6 win against the Setters marked the Pioneers’ 15th straight win. Head coach Brian Collins, who was in the middle of his first season coaching at Post when they last lost to Pace, recalled the promise he made, saying, “‘We’ll never lose to that team again.” The last time the Pioneers started a

season 6-0 was in 2016. Back then, the Pioneers were “a little more explosive defensively,” according to Collins. But, the team is doing better defensively this year he said. “We’ll compare them after we accomplished what the 2016 team accomplished. Until then we’re fighting hard to win the next game,” he said. The football team is nationally ranked No. 20 in the American football coaches’ poll. “It’s nice to be recognized by coaches around the country, and they recognize we have a very strong program,” Collins said. The success of their program can be attributed, in part, to their undefeated

record in the regular season. “Now it’s crunch time and it’s Pioneer time,” he said. “It’s October; when the leaves start falling the Post boys start balling.” The defensive players are putting in the work and reaping the benefits. Nazir Streater, a sophomore defensive back player, made a huge step up in defense. “He’s feeling real comfortable about himself,” Collins said. “He has tremendous skills; he’s an excellent athlete.” Now more than halfway through the regular season, many defensive players stand out. “I think Zach Cofrancesco (junior defensive back) stands out,” Collins said. “He’s very engaged, he’s smart and

he knows what he’s doing, he knows how to play the game. He’s probably the biggest surprise on the entire team; he’s playing at such a high level.” The Pioneers now sit at 7-0 for the season. Their next game is against Assumption College in Worcester, Mass. as part of the NCAA Division II Showcase on Oct. 27. Kickoﬀ is at 1:05 p.m. This article was originally published in the Pioneer, the award-winning student newspaper of LIU Post, www.liupostpioneer.com, and is republished here by Blank Slate Media with the permission of the Pioneer.

Halloween comes early Bagels & Blox at

Students at New Hyde Park Road School in the New Hyde Park-Garden City Park School District enjoyed Halloween early thanks to a holiday-themed obstacle course designed by their physical education teacher Kerri Rudd. “The Haunted Gym” was made up of a boney graveyard, a skeleton grave, haystacks, cornstalks and spooky spider webs that were placed strategically throughout the room to provide students with a great physical activity and lots of

fun. Students took turns in pairs as they raced through the course, leaping, jumping and crawling to get through each section. Ms. Rudd said she creates the obstacle course each year to remind students of the importance of living a healthy and active lifestyle and to reinforce the movement concepts they learn in physical education class. She said the students look forward to participating in the obstacle course each year.
