Terry given 3 years in federal prison Ex Town Dem head sentenced for evading nearly $1M in U.S. taxes BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Former North Hempstead Democratic Party head Gerard Terry was sentenced to three years in prison and three years of supervised release for tax evasion in federal court Tuesday afternoon, to be served concurrently with a separate state sentence. Prosecutors had sought a 54-month – or four-and-a-halfyear – sentence, while Terry’s defense had argued for leniency based on his positive contributions and poor health. In handing down the sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert judged Terry on the “sophisticated means” by which he deliberately avoided paying taxes, totaling over $1.6 million between state and federal taxes, and his “acceptance of responsibility.” His poor health and years of community service through pro bono work – described as “very

impressive” – proved to be mitigating factors. “[Terry] can’t back away from 15 years of deliberate conduct,” Seybert said. The verdict drew tears from Terry’s two daughters, who declined to speak with reporters after the sentencing. Stephen Scaring, Terry’s attorney, called the sentence “harsh” and said he would appeal it. He had cited some of the 103 letters from a mix of religious leaders, medical professionals and associates like Tom Suozzi, who is now a U.S. congressman, to try to secure a lighter sentence of community service. He also said that the guilty plea was a broad acceptance of responsibility and should be considered when handing down the sentence. “I think his good outweighs his bad by a lot,” Scaring said in court.

Port Chabad denies Port pottery at Ukraine connection the U.S. Open

Synagogue takes issue with being named by BBC

Artist creates pieces for tournament

BY LU K E TORRANCE

A Port Washington synagogue became entangled in an international story last week involving Ukraine, the president of the United States and embattled attorney Michael Cohen. Chabad of Port Washington, located on Shore Road in Manorhaven, was named in a report by the BBC last week. The article said that a member of the Ukrainian parliament used personal contacts who attended the Chabad to get in touch with Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer. The member of parliament was reaching out to Cohen to establish a “back channel” to Trump at the behest of Petro Poroshenko, the president of Ukraine, according to the BBC.!Poroshenko allegedly paid Cohen $400,000 to arrange a meeting with the president, as Ukraine’s lobbyists and embassy could secure little more than a photo op with Trump. Poroshenko met with Trump in the White House last June, the BBC reported. Shortly after, Ukraine’s anticorruption agency stopped its investigation into Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort. Cohen denied the allegation, and the BBC reported there was no indication Trump knew about the payment. Following the article’s pub-

When Patricia Bridges saw she was getting a call from the United States Golf Association, she was confused. “I’m a golfer, so I thought maybe they were calling me to see if I wanted to become a member,” she said. But the golf association was calling to see if she would be willing to craft a custom set of ceramics for the 2018 U.S. Open, to be held next month at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club in Southampton. Bridges, a pottery artist based in Port Washington, proved up to the task. She cranked out close to 500 bowls, platters and mugs bearing the Shinnecock logo. “It was a big job and I did not have a lot of time to do this,” she said. “But I have experience. I have several large customers for whom I have produced hundreds of pieces for their catalogs.” That ability to churn out a consistent high-quality product was one of the reasons she was chosen for the job, she said.

Pottery has been a life-long passion for Bridges, who was born and raised in New Hampshire.

Reflecting on 50 years with the church Father Patrick Whitney of St. Peter’s looks back on a career that brought him to the U.S. BY LU K E TORRANCE There wasn’t a lot going on in Father Patrick Whitney’s hometown in rural Ireland. He wanted to see more of the world, and he believed that becoming a priest with the Roman Catholic Church would be the way to do it. “There were priests who!were in Africa and America and it seemed like!they were living an interesting life and had good stories to tell and seemed to enjoy what they did,” he said. “The area I came from, there wasn’t much to do, and I always wanted to work overseas.” His priesthood brought him across the Atlantic Ocean to New York, where he has spent his career preaching at several churches around Long Island. His current home, St. Peter of Alcantara! Parish in Port Washington, will hold a celebration on June 10 to commemorate Father Whitney’s five-decade career. It was 50 years ago, in June 1968, that Whitney was ordained as a priest in Dublin.

Shortly thereafter, he made his way to the United States to work for the Diocese of Rockville Centre, even though he knew almost no one on Long Island. “I chose to come to America, and I’m glad I made that choice,” he said. He served a number of churches in Nassau and Suﬀolk counties and was the! founding pastor of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Ronkonkoma, a position he held for 18 years. On June 28, 2006, he was named the 13th pastor of St. Peter’s, a position he has held ever since. Even after five decades of work, Father Whitney is still going strong. He celebrates daily mass at St. Peter’s and three of the five weekend masses along with baptism, wedding and funeral!masses. He visits hospitals and nursing!homes, drops in on religious classes at the parish school, and attends services presented by the Interfaith Council of Port Washington. He also makes occasional! trips to Ireland to visit family and friends and preside over baptisms and weddings.

When considering which aspect of being a priest he found most rewarding, Father Whitney had a hard time deciding on just one. “Working with people who had addictions, particularly alcohol, it was very rewarding to see them turn their lives around,” he said. “Also helping to prepare couples for marriage … and working with religious education teachers to prepare them to teach the kids, that was very rewarding too.” Of his time in the church, he said the most diﬃcult parts were the sexual abuse scandals that rocked dioceses around the country, along with the challenge to draw people back into the church. “Particularly in this time where secularism is very strong, commitment to faith is a challenge,” he said. “Many people! don’t see the value of it in their lives.” But as he prepares for retirement, Father Whitney is optimistic that people will continue to be drawn to the church’s message and said he was encour-

A tale of fire and ice at Port rink Ice resurfacing machine goes up in flames at Port Washington Skating Center, no injuries BY LU K E TORRANCE

A youth hockey game was brought to an abrupt end Thursday night when an ice resurfacing machine caught fire at the Port Washington Skating Center. None of the people in attendance at the rink were hurt, Port Washington Fire Department Chief Bryan Vogeley said, and only the machine caught fire. But the building suﬀered" smoke and water damage. “It being plastics and rubbers and metal finishing, that smoke was unusually nasty,” he said. “They" will have some cleanup for a while.” The fire broke out at the rink, located at 70 Seaview Blvd., shortly after 8 p.m. About 65 firefighters from seven departments responded, according to Newsday, and the situation was under control by 9:30 p.m. Vogeley said that the fire was started by a malfunction in the machine, which was sitting in its storage area oﬀ the ice. The smoke was so thick that he said firefighters had to cut open parts of the rink’s roof in order for the smoke to clear out of the building. One firefighter sustained minor injuries but was released from the hos-

pital that night. Vogeley said the fire departments managed an eﬀective response because they had dealt with a similar situation before. Twelve years ago on New Year’s Eve, another ice resurfacing machine caught fire in the same spot. On that occasion, though, the propane tank on the machine exploded, causing great structural damage to the building. Vogeley said no one was hurt because an instructor at the rink who served as a volunteer firefighter was able to evacuate everyone before the explosion. “It’s just a freak thing that happens,” Vogeley said. Using their experience last time, the firefighters were able to put out the fire while limiting their exposure to"an explosion. “We can’t just rush in there, because if [the propane tanks] did blow, it could cause serious injury,” he said. “Luckily, having done this before, there was some pre-planning.” According to Newsday, the ice rink owner was issued" a violation for not having a working fire alarm system. Efforts to reach rink management were unavailing.

Curran, Ryder attend Trump’s MS-13 talk President says ‘ruthless gang’ turned peaceful neighborhoods into ‘blood-stained killing fields’ BY LU K E TORRANCE Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder were among several Long Island oﬃcials who attended a roundtable on gangs and immigration last week hosted by President Donald Trump. “It’s a menace,” Trump said of the MS-13 gang,"according to a transcript on the White House website. “A ruthless gang that has violated our borders and transformed once peaceful neighborhoods into bloodstained killing fields. They’re horrible people, by the way.” Trump mistakenly said that the gang “killed a cop for the sake of making a statement.” Gang members did reportedly threaten to kill a police oﬃcer in Hempstead last month but have not followed through on that threat. Also in attendance were Suffolk Police Commissioner Geri Hart and Congressmen Peter King (R-Seaford), Lee Zeldin (RShirley) and Daniel Donovan (RStaten Island). Trump also invited a pair of parents whose daughters

President Donald Trump were killed by the gang. During his opening remarks, Trump doubled down on his earlier statement that MS-13 gang members were “animals.” “I called them ‘animals’ the other day, and I was met with rebuke,” he said. “They said, ‘They are people.’ They’re not people. These are animals, and we have

to be very, very tough.” He said that immigration laws were too weak and allowed gang members — who primarily came from El Salvador — to remain in the country. Curran did not speak much during the roundtable. She acknowledged the president when he asked where she was in the

audience but otherwise did not speak with the president. Curran spokesman Michael Martino said in a statement that Curran attended the roundtable so she could have access to federal resources to fight MS-13 in the county. It was a reiteration of what Curran said last week when she announced she would attend the meeting. In that statement, Curran emphasized the word “youth” in describing the gang members, adding that “we need to help our community groups and family members reclaim their children who have been lured by or forced to embrace gang activity.” Ryder, on the other hand, spoke extensively about what the Nassau County Police Department has done to combat MS-13. He started by thanking Trump for his support. “On behalf of all our Nassau County police oﬃcers — and I think I can speak for every oﬃcer in this room and in this country — we know we have a president that has our back and supports us every single day when we go out and do the mission that we are

tasked to do,” Ryder said. He said that his department had identified 500 MS-13 members in Nassau, about half of whom were active. He said the department had a great relationship with Homeland Security"and Immigration and Customs Enforcement but said that intelligence sharing between agencies could be improved. “We need to get a little bit better on our intelligence sharing and information, and that starts at the border where that information can flow up into the states that we know who, why, when, how,” he said. Ryder also stressed that programs to deter youths from joining gangs and a strong relationship between the police and Hispanic community were crucial. This was Trump’s second trip to Long Island as president. During his visit to Brentwood last year, he sparked controversy by saying that Suﬀolk police oﬃcers shouldn’t be concerned about prisoners hitting their heads when being placed in the back of patrol cars.

Gold Coast celebrates 70 years of Israel Francine Klagsbrun discusses book on Golda Meir; art exhibit and Israeli cuisine on display BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN Several dozen people attended a celebration of Israel’s 70 years of existence at the Gold Coast Arts Center last Thursday, with author Francine Klagsbrun telling the story of its fourth prime minister and the nation she helped found. The event, co-hosted by the Gold Coast Arts Center and state Sen. Elaine Phillips, featured a question and answer session and book signing with Klagsbrun, the awardwinning author of “Lioness: Golda Meir and the Nation of Israel,” as well as an art exhibition and samples of Israeli cuisine. “Tonight we celebrate,” Phillips said. “We celebrate the 70th anniversary of the state of Israel and we recognize the remarkable achievements that they’ve had over the last seven decades – achievements in the arts, music, food, literature, and that is what tonight is about.” Klagsbrun described Meir as one of the founders of the state and a woman of both power and contradictions, carrying both “insider” and “outsider” status in her time in politics. She outlined her beginnings in tsarist Russia, moving to America in 1906, and growing up in socialist Milwaukee before moving to Palestine in 1921 with her first husband.

Israel, and was entrusted with fundraising in 1948 – her straightforward, passionate speech at a Chicago luncheon sparking a donation tour with the UJA so the nation of Israel could aﬀord to defend itself. “And she ended by saying, ‘You, American Jews, cannot make the decision for us of whether we will fight or not. We will fight – that decision has been taken, even if we have to fight with stones,'” Klagsbrun said. “‘The decision you can make is whether we will win or the Arabs will win. That is your decision to make.'” In total, Meir raised over $50 million – which would be worth more than half a billion dollars today. “And Ben-Gurion said that someday when history will be written, it will be said there was a woman who raised the money that made the state of Israel possible,” Klagsbrun said. Meir served as the minister of labor and PHOTO BY JANELLE CLAUSEN foreign minister in the 1950s and 1960s, before becoming Israel’s fourth prime minister.

is it like to be the only woman foreign minister in the world?'” Klagsbrun said. “And Golda being Golda, would invariably say, ‘I don’t know, I was never a man.'” Meir was elected as the nation’s first woman prime minister in 1969 and served until 1974. She negotiated with Henry Kissinger and led the country through the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Klagsbrun said Meir had actually sensed war would happen despite being told there was only a small chance of being attacked. But, she said, Meir helped hold the country together and made many important military decisions before resigning. “Golda never forgave herself for having listened to her generals. She said, ‘All my life, I followed my own intuition and when it really mattered, I listened to somebody else,” Klagsbrun said. Klagsbrun said that while an editor raised the idea of a biography of Golda Meir, she found the woman to ultimately be “fascinating” enough to dedicate 10 years to detailing her" strengths, weaknesses, origins and accomplishments. “She was just a very determined woman, she knew what she wanted, she knew where she was going, and she had an ability to cut through a lot of junk, a lot of hard stuﬀ, a lot of doubletalk, and to get to the point,” Klagsbrun said.

Clinton, Biden tout Cuomo’s record

Democratic Party stalwarts appear at convention held at Hofstra to support re-election BY R E B ECC A K L A R New York Democrats celebrated what they called a progressive, anti-Washington agenda during the state’s Democratic Convention last Wednesday as the party once again nominated Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul as the party’s candidates. While state lawmakers and national figures like former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Vice President Joe Biden touted Cuomo’s progressive accomplishments, Cuomo’s! challenger, actress Cynthia Nixon, and her supporters questioned Cuomo’s progressive bona fides. During the convention at Hofstra University the party also nominated New York City Public Advocate Letitia James for attorney general, a spot Eric Schneiderman recently resigned from following domestic violence allegations. The party also nominated! Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, a Long Island native, for his third term.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Nassau played in Trump’s MS-13 talk The timing of President Donald Trump’s return to Long Island last week to discuss the MS-13 gang made little sense on one hand and all the sense in the world on the other. In what was called a “highly stage-managed event” in Bethpage, Trump addressed the problem of MS-13, a transnational gang has ties to El Salvador and uses machetes to kill, and to insist on the passage of immigration laws. From January 2016 through April 2017, the Suﬀolk County police said there were 17 murders committed by MS-13. In Nassau County, there were six MS-13 murders. But the gang has not killed a single person on Long Island in a year. And while gang members have committed heinous crimes and do require aggressive police work, they have not “transformed once-peaceful neighborhoods” into killing fields as Trump has said. Not to mention that immigrants overall commit fewer crimes than native-born citizens. Trump, who repeatedly referred to gang members as “animals,”" called for the country’s political leadership to toughen “horrible”" immigration laws. In doing so, Trump echoed many of the comments he made about MS-13 when he visited Suffolk County as a candidate. This is odd given that he has now been president for 16 months – with fellow Republicans in charge of both houses of Congress. But, apparently, still eﬀective. Then state Sen. Jack Martins echoed Trump’s remarks during his campaign for county executive. The campaign ended with

Martins defending a postcard sent on his behalf that used a picture of MS-13 gang members in an El Salvador jail to warn Nassau voters of the peril posed by the immigration policies of his opponent, Laura Curran. Many called the postcard racist. Following Trump’s visit last week, James McDermott, the Republican president of the Nassau Police Benevolent Association, praised the president and criticized Curran and Cuomo for a lack of support. Unmentioned was Curran’s efforts to address the oversized compensation packages of Nassau’s police. Trump’s reference to gang members as “animals” in Bethpage followed a White House meeting with California leaders opposed to so-called sanctuary city policies in which he appeared to call all undocumented immigrants “animals.” “We have people coming into the country, or trying to come in – and we’re stopping them,” Trump said after Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims complained about state restrictions that limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities. “You wouldn’t believe how bad these people are. These aren’t people. These are animals.” White House officials said Trump was referring to MS-13 gang members when using the term “animals.” But there is a history here that casts serious doubt on that claim. In his first press conference as a presidential candidate in 2015, he said the United States had become a “dumping ground” for people other countries didn’t want. “When Mexico sends its

people, they’re not sending their best,” he said then. “They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” He also said repeatedly during the campaign that he would build a wall along the entire length of the Mexican border. And Mexico would pay for it. As president, Trump has lifted an executive order that protected undocumented children brought to this country at a very young age known as Dreamers and refused to sign legislation that would protect them. He has also endorsed a policy at the border of the brutal separation of confused, weeping children from parents who cross illegally. The Oﬃce of Refugee Resettlement reported at the end of 2017 that of the 7,000-plus children with sponsored individuals following their separation the agency did not

know where 1,474 of them were. The Washington Post offered an explanation of this when it reported that Trump boasted in February 2017 about how easy it is to appeal to audiences with an antiimmigration message. “Acting as if he were at a rally,” the Post reported, “he recited a few made-up Hispanic names and described potential crimes they could have committed, such as rape and murder. Then, he said, the crowds would roar when the criminals were thrown out of the country.” We think the evidence is more than clear that Trump used his appearance in Bethpage to rally his supporters to policies that make a mockery of the sentiments expressed on the Statue of Liberty. This is not to say that there are no issues with immigration in this county or that Nassau and Suffolk counties don’t need help. Suffolk Police Commissioner

Geraldine Hart told Trump that 4,965 unaccompanied children have been sent to her county since 2014, the most of any county in the nation. Schools in communities where many of the children have been sent to live with sponsors have been overwhelmed by the demand to educate children who beyond reading and speaking no English often had little education at all. And there are no resources to provide oversight of these homes. These are the circumstances that lead to young people joining gangs that we, as a nation of immigrants, know much about. We also know that rather than trying to use MS-13 to demonize all immigrants, we would all be better served if tough law enforcement was combined with a good education and social programs that address the needs of new Americans.

KREMER’S CORNER

America’s new warriors: young people

uring the next few weeks, there will be dozens of stories about graduations for doctorate degrees down to early childhood celebrations. They are exciting experiences for the families and for the children themselves, as they usher in a new period of reflection, planning, and just plain hope and happiness. By the end of these annual rituals, I will have attended three such graduations. Two for my granddaughters and one as a trustee of Hofstra University. I am focusing on the college events because as a veteran of many such experiences I noticed something diﬀerent this year that I have never observed before. Somehow, this year’s graduates are diﬀerent in many ways. Obviously, all of them are concerned about getting a job and moving out of the upstairs bedroom. However, I detected a lot more things that give me hope for a better America. In talking to

many of the new degree holders, I detected a surprising awareness of the state of the world and the challenges we face. They are genuinely concerned about the country’s polarization and many told me stories about how they have experienced these new tensions. I asked a number of groups about what their biggest concerns were, beyond just getting a job. They spoke of climate change, lack of aﬀordable housing, glass ceilings, bad elected oﬃcials and their fears that a war could end their path to success. They have little respect for the current political system and think all politicians worry about is being elected. They didn’t mention names such as Trump, Clinton, Russia or Stormy Daniels. They spoke in simple yet eloquent words about their views, their fears and their aspirations. What I found most exciting is that most of them told me that they looked forward to voting for some candidate whose agenda

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

they respect. They talked about participation in the process and the need for their generation to be vocal on issues. They were very critical of us fully grown adults who they feel have failed to fight enough for the changes that are needed to our society. They understand that most of us are focused on making sacrifices for family or just trying to survive on a day-to-day basis.

But the experience of seeing and hearing from college graduates made me hopeful about what the Class of 2018 will do to make our country a better place to live in. And the more that I listened the more I came to the conclusion that our current crop of citizens have abdicated their role and have left the battlefield to two groups who will never see eye-to-eye on anything. There are movements currently building up around the country that will be forces for change. The Me Too movement will no doubt turn out in large numbers this November as will groups fighting for some form of equality. The Dreamers will be galvanized to show up at the polls to express their hope for some protection from the government. Some of the teachers who have gone on strike around the nation will transfer their new-found power into running for oﬃce. This year there will be more women running for oﬃce than at any time in the history of the country.

All of these movements are pockets of people pushing for change. They will turn out to be a significant number of voters but the real ingredient for success is our youth. It is estimated that by November, 3.8 million students will be eligible to vote. They will be joined by the members of the new crop of college graduates. All told these diﬀerent groups could create an electoral tidal wave, if their enthusiasm holds until November. The Parkland school survivors have started their own campaign to make sure that the candidates they support are in favor of reasonable gun control laws and many students around the country are doing voter canvassing for the first time. As we approach the second half of the year I am more optimistic than ever that the country may have a new awakening thanks to today’s youth. Hopefully, their energy will make up for the failure of the current generation to be agents for change.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

The adventures of Prince Valium

hen I was young, there was a strip in the Sunday funnies called “Prince Valiant.” Although he seemed to have a girl’s pageboy haircut, he was quite the macho hero — always running around the medieval world, killing monsters and villains with his Singing Sword and rescuing beautiful maidens in distress. What no one — not even Prince Valiant’s creator — seemed to know was that he had an older, calmer brother, who appeared in times of extreme crisis. His name was Prince Valium. Prince Valium arrives at a wedding. He stops by the caterer’s tiny oﬃce, to check in. “How’s everything going, Brenda?” “Oh, Prince Valium, I’m so worried! What if the bride doesn’t like the flower arrangements? I tried to get her favorite peonies, but they’re out of season, so I told the florist lilies would be okay… but I never actually checked back with the bride; what if she doesn’t want them? And would you say this is a rose-colored tablecloth or more of a salmon? The bride’s mother specifically said she hates

salmon, but I can’t tell the diﬀerence under artificial light!” Brenda breaks down and sobs onto the last clean tablecloth in reach. “There, there, Brenda,” says Prince Valium, “don’t you worry. All you can do is your best, that’s all anyone can ask.” “If you believe that, you obviously haven’t met the bride’s mother! Or her father either, for that matter!” said Brenda, sobbing even harder. “Now Brenda, look at me,” says the Prince. “You are an extremely talented girl, and you’re doing an amazing job against impossible odds. Look at all you’ve accomplished! Everything’s beautiful, and I am sure that as soon as people start arriving, and see what you’ve done here, they’ll calm down and have a lovely time. It’s all going to be just fine.” Brenda’s sobs slow to a final sniﬄe before she dries her eyes on the tablecloth and stands up. “If you say so, Prince. Maybe you’re right.” “Of course I’m right! I’m an expert!” “In that case, I’d better get

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side ready.” “Atta girl!” Valium turns and retrieves his weapon — the Babbling Blade — from the coat-check booth and moves on to his next assignment. We are outside a college dormitory in late August. Minivans and SUVs are lined up at the back entrance, unloading boxes and duﬀel bags which the football and soccer team members then carry upstairs. One car, however, has parked a little bit away from the proceedings, and the air inside the vehicle is tense.

“You are insane!” the teenage daughter is yelling, in a voice that holds no aﬀection. “Why must you come up and meet my roommates? Nobody else’s parents are doing that. You don’t trust me!” The girl’s father yells back. “Of course we trust you!” Her mother adds, “It’s just that new roommates are important, and we’d like to meet them. Is that so hard to understand?” “It’s not hard. It’s impossible!” the girl screams, and opens the door of the parked car to run away. Just then, a man with a funny haircut knocks on the windshield. “May I help you?” “Who are you?” shrieks the Mom. “And what are your plans for that sword?” asks the Dad, eyeing it warily. “Please ignore that, it’s just part of the costume. I thought I’d oﬀer some perspective,” says the man, who of course is Prince Valium. “Separations are always difficult, I think.” “You mean, for them?” asks the daughter, pointing to her folks. “I just know they’ll embarrass me horribly!” “Of course they will — it’s

their job! But it’ll help you make friends with everyone else, whose parents all embarrassed them, too.” “I never thought of it that way,” says the daughter, slightly calmer. “As for your parents,” the Prince continues, “Go easy on them, wouldja? They’re just terrified they’ll turn out to have failed you, somehow.” “And you’re going to say we haven’t, after all?” says the father, hope dawning in his voice. “Of course you have! You’re only human, and raising kids is an impossible job! But it’s okay, she’ll be surrounded by people with completely diﬀerent blind spots, and they’ll all cancel out.” “It’s a miracle, I’m almost calm now,” murmurs Mom. “Now be good to each other, because I must be oﬀ,” says Prince Valium. “Where to, some world disaster?” “No, something much worse. It’s my son’s Bar Mitzvah, and Mrs. Valium forgot to get our good clothes out of the dry cleaner’s. Wish me luck!”

VIEW POINT

Dems tout Cuomo’s progressive record

“

Pride and Purpose” is the slogan for Hofstra University. It could also be the slogan for the “new” Democratic party, exuded by New York State Democrats at their convention, held at the university’s stadium in Nassau County last week. There were no taking a backseat to Cynthia Nixon and the Working Families Party progressive values. Instead, Hillary Clinton, Tom Perez, Joe Biden, and Andrew Cuomo, himself schooled them on the art of pragmatic progressivism: getting progressive policies enacted. The theme for the first day was “Moving Forward,” – a slap at Republicans cynical actions to move the clock back to a time when women, minorities, the disabled and vulnerable were subjugated without consequence. The theme for the second day, when Andrew Cuomo gave his acceptance speech, was “Fighting Back.” Taking the podium in the same venue as the first 2016 presidential debate where she showed the presidential pretender, Donald Trump, to be the fool he is, Clinton answered the question constantly posed to Democrats (but not Republicans): What do Democrats stand for? Well, it may not fit on a hat, but Clinton provided the answer: “Look around this room: people who stand for an economy that works for everybody, universal health care, and even bet-

ter, people who have plans to get us there. You’ll see defenders of civil rights, women’s rights, LGBT rights, rights of people with disabilities. I don’t believe these are minor issues –they matter to millions and millions of New Yorkers, Americans. “So much of the progress we see in the United States is because we Democrats pushed open doors to opportunity for people who have been shut out. And we, my friends, are not going back.” At a time when income inequality is the greatest since 1915, she said, “I think it’s a bold idea that everyone in this country should have a decent standard of living and a good job to pay for it…That everyone deserves the best possible start in life. Quality health care throughout and a safe, secure retirement. Even bolder is to have plans to make those realities, the way Democrats do. “Let’s remind ourselves: Democrats are the party that rescued the country from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression; passed, then saved, the Aﬀordable Care Act; helped keep Planned Parenthood’s doors open. We’re the party that will save Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security from persistent Republican attacks. We are the party that will keep fighting every day to achieve universal health care and universal job opportunities. So don’t let anyone tell you diﬀerently. “If you want an economy that works for you and your family, you

KAREN RUBIN View Point

have to vote for Democrats….. quality health care….protect and expand the rights of all Americans, not just the top 1%, you have to vote for Democrats. “If you believe in woman’s right to make her own health care decisions …in well funded public schools, colleges, and the resources so that teachers can succeed.. If you believe in actual commonsense gun safety laws to help save lives…understand that we are facing a real crisis with Climate Change…and believe we can stand up for our values and keep our country safe, you have to vote for Democrats. “If you believe in comprehensive immigration reform and protecting Dreamers …… getting money out of politics and getting all voters to the polls..if you believe that standing up for evidence and reason and respecting the rule of Law is critical for our democracy,

you have to vote for Democrats.” “Now more than ever we need leaders who will stand up for progressive values and up against to those who will turn neighbor against neighbor and sow seeds of division. Most of all, we need leaders who believe in producing results and getting things done – leaders like Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul.” Indeed, Cuomo has chalked up quite a record in his seven years that align perfectly with the progressive agenda: Erased $10 billion deficit, added 1 million private-sector jobs to a record number of 8.2 million; raised the minimum wage to $15, passed the strongest paid family leave policy in America; stood up to protect a woman’s right to choose, and defended access to the state’s version of Obamacare; implemented marriage equality and stood up against racism and sexual abuse. Implemented commonsense gun safety laws, promoted criminal justice reform and created a mechanism to investigate deaths by police. Put aﬀordable college education in reach of every New Yorker, making the state the first in nation to provide tuition-free college for low and mid-income students. He’s unleashed the most massive overhaul of infrastructure since Franklin D. Roosevelt was governor, to the tune of $100 billion that has seen new bridges, mass transportation improve-

ments all across the state (built with union labor), invested in innovation and business incubators. Much of this is also to realize the target of 50 percent of the state’s energy needs coming from renewable by 2030, and he has backed it up by shutting down coal-fired plants, investing in oﬀshore windpower. He has stood up for Dreamers and for immigrants, creating a legal fund so that those who Trump and Sessions would race to deport have the benefit of due process enshrined in the Constitution and a stable of American values. And Hochul, probably the hardest working Lt. Governor in the nation, has done an outstanding job to promote gender equity. “This is not your father’s Republican Party,” former Vice President Joe Biden told the audience. “They are not who we are. They are not who America is. What they are doing is sending a vision of America around the world that is distorted. That is damaging. That is hurting us… this phony populism, this fake nationalism…. It’s time to say ‘no more.'” “This election isn’t just about winning, though win we must,” declared Jay Jacobs, chair of Nassau Democrats. “It’s about the soul of America – what nation we are, who we will about moving forward. Here’s the tidy slogan that Democrats should embrace and it even fits on a hat: Justice. Fairness. Opportunity.

Barak shows diversity of Israeli thought

hank you for highlighting former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak’s recent visit to the Sid Jacobson JCC in your May 18 edition. I think it’s more important than ever that the American public is exposed to a diverse pool of Israeli thought and opinion.

There were a few additional things Mr. Barak discussed, which I think are worth mentioning. For instance, he told the audience that he tried to warn current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to go through with his controversial address to

Congress in 2015. Mr. Barak also criticized Mr. Netanyahu for allowing an unconstitutional bill legalizing settlements built on Palestinian land to go before the Israeli Knesset for a vote. When an audience member asked Mr. Barak what “the best

way to combat BDS” was, he answered candidly, telling the audience that, as long as the Israeli/ Palestinian conflict remained unresolved, BDS (the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions Movement) would continue to exist. One can personally agree or disagree with Mr. Barak on any

of these points. " The important thing to note is that Israel is not a political or cultural monolith and being exposed to multiple perspectives enriches us all. Matthew Zeidman New Hyde Park

NFL right to ban anthem protests

feel the NFL owners!has finally united and have finally have taken a stand against kneeling during the national anthem. Teams will be fined and players will be faced with the consequences of their actions. Also those who don’t want to stand can stay in the locker rooms. Now the act of kneeling during the national anthem, I feel is an insult to all of us who have died and served our country in the military. Now not to mention those who have loss limbs protecting the rights we all hold most dear.

I my opinion protesting is the right of those who feel abused by police but there are many police oﬃcers who protect the many and meanwhile there have many police oﬃcers who have been killed in the line of duty nation wide. The majority of our police deserve respect and should be honored. Now finally the kneeling at football games by players during the national anthem is just the wrong venue and should be punished.

We also extend our gratitude and support for a group that nobody wants to join – but has given so much to their country – the Gold Star families.

r. Nathanson’s Letter to the Editor deserves a thoughtful response regarding his praise for our current president’s achievements and more. While we are all pleased with a successful outcome in various endeavors, I’d urge him to present the whole story. First, an expanding economy has been in place for at least the past four or more years, starting under Obama, who gets the credit in the history books for taking us out of the Great Recession he inherited from the Bush Administration and saving the auto industry as well. Second, keeping the recovery going with fairly comparable figures overall and pleasing Wall Street with deregulation is a fine but fairly predictable result. However, the recent tax break for corporations at a time of near full employment has already been acknowledged by most as primarily a device to buy back stock and raise dividends with only crumbs going to the average taxpayer (and slated to expire shortly). Third, the process of destroying ISIS was also begun under Obama and accelerated under Trump. However, I would caution anyone to expect to see more terrorist networks replacing! ! ISIS now that we have a president more interested in the ‘art of the deal’ than leading a coalition of advanced nations to deal with the root causes of poverty and hopeless that feed into this narrative. Fourth, regarding our moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, Mr. Trump’s blatant pandering to the right here and in Israel puts that! ! remarkable country even more squarely on the path to a one-state solution that will inevitably require a form of apartheid (or let’s say ‘two-tiered citizenship’, to put it more delicately) in order to suppress the inevitable non-Jewish voting majority. Fifth, as for the Korean peninsula, let’s all hope that a! ! solution can be found to tamp down the constant threat of nuclear blackmail. It may well be that two unpredictable and erratic leaders have finally scared each other into at least meeting, but let’s not uncork the

champagne quite yet. However, I don’t think the Joint Chiefs of Staﬀ are anxious to have a repeat performance of such casual brinksmanship. Frankly, only a draft dodger who knows nothing about the human costs of war would indulge in this and certainly not the men and women who serve, including war heroes who were captured! But these are minor points compared with the core issues that have already caused scholars left, right and center to place Mr. Trump dead last at No. 44 in the rankings as to Presidential Greatness. A great president doesn’t lead by race-baiting and impugning the integrity of every individual and institution of government that diﬀers with him or dares to question his fleeting relationship with the facts. Great presidents don’t deliver a hugely depressing inaugural address about ‘this American carnage,’ another figment of an alt-right imagination. In the depths of the Great Depression, a real, not invented time of great anxiety, FDR lifted up a nation by telling us we could get through this together and had ‘nothing to fear but fear itself!’. Unfortunately, fear mongering and dividing is what Donald Trump is all about as were prior demagogues like Joseph McCarthy who also feasted on American anxiety over 60 years ago in an era of great change. (Interestingly, McCarthy and Trump shared the same mentor in attorney! Roy Cohn, another expert on taking ‘the low road’.) Nor is Mr. Trump interested in the slightest in addressing our problems, other than promising to bring back coal…or build that wall to keep our all those rapists …or bring back jobs that aren’t returning anytime soon in a global economy that’s here to stay. Attacking established norms and institutions and trashing the fundamentals of the Constitution that is the underpinning for our system of government is for Donald Trump simply a game to stroke his damaged ego, which can never be satiated. However, the consequences here at home and abroad

are!!already!!significant, as we are increasingly marginalized on the world stage by his erratic behavior. Since the dawn of the 20th Century and more specifically, since World War ll, we have led the world with our moral authority and robust democracy that guarantees the fundamentals of human dignity to all citizens. No amount of arms or bluster can ever replace the use of ‘soft power’, aﬀorded by those assets. Let’s not forget that we have also been a beacon of hope to those living without these blessings.. under the types of authoritarian regimes that Trump seems to worship in his alternative universe. Finally, Trump’s transactional approach in bludgeoning friend and foe alike simply to win (whatever that means to this damaged soul) is a prescription for losing our leadership role in a world that requires multilateral solutions to thorny problems, including climate change, China’s growing dominance in the Pacific Rim and maintaining a non-nuclear Iran – all issues handled quite adeptly by Obama, according to most experts on the various subjects. (And if a broken Congress cares to make improvements to these agreements, or for that matter, to the Aﬀordable Care Act so much the better!) In short, Donald Trump is not making America great again. He is more interested in dumbing down America and shredding our vaunted institutions that are the envy of the world so that, amidst this carnage, he can again tell us that he alone can fix our problems. I would suggest that anyone praising Mr. Trump and his many accomplishments take a moment to read a history book or two or three. This script has been written before and it doesn’t end well unless our Congress decides to join a robust press and start playing its appointed role under Article l of the!!Constitution… or the people finally speak up in November. Let’s hope so! Ken Grossman Great Neck

On accepting Democratic nomination

t the New York State Democratic Convention, which was held at Hofstra University, I accepted the Democratic Party’s nomination to continue representing New York State’s 16th Assembly District. I felt humbled and at the same time, I felt proud to again receive their nomi-

nation. In the assembly I have been working to introduce and vote for bills which are in the best interest of our constituents. I have met many of my constituents and spoke to them about local and state issues and attended ceremonies recognizing people’s accomplishments.

It has always been my passion to be a civil servant and to try to do my best to improve other people’s lives. I personally know what it’s like to work hard and long hours, I came here as an immigrant with only an eighthgrade education, went to night school for 16 years and eventually received my

master’s degree. Thank you for the honor and privilege of being your state representative. I look forward to keep representing the residents of the 16th Assembly District. Anthony D’Urso State Assemblyman

Lives saved by hiking legal smoking age

he American Heart Association was pleased to see the Nassau County Legislature pass Tobacco 21 on Wednesday, May 24. By passing this common sense, lifesaving legislation the Legislature has shown they are committed to protecting the health of Nassau’s residents, specifically young adults. This makes Nassau County the 21st

municipality in New York State to pass such a measure. Tobacco use remains the leading preventable cause of heart disease and stroke, the nation’s number one and number five causes of mortality. By raising the age in which retailers can sell tobacco, we can help stop teens from ever picking up their first tobacco product and save them from a lifetime of

Lessons learned by husband death

n April 6 an article was published in Newsday about the most dangerous Long Island roads for pedestrians and bicy-

clists. If you have lived on Long Island for a while there are some roads that you would not be surprised to see there such as Sunrise Highway, Hempstead Turnpike or Montauk Highway. Among some of these major fast-paced,!threelane roads is listed our very own Middle Neck Road in Great Neck Plaza. Sadly, I was not surprised when the report was released. That day I was speaking to a room filled with engineers and politicians about the fact that my husband had been killed by a speeding car on that road in the fall of 2016. I was speaking out so that there would be changes made on roads to decrease drivers speed so that others would not have to go through this same tragedy. I often think communities are like marriages. You get to know your spouse best during life’s most diﬃcult moments. I got to know this community, the schools and residents of Great Neck deeply after my husband Oren was killed. As the storm of loss hit me and my son’s life it was the coaches, teams, schools, and dear friends, who saved us from drowning. Within the week after my husband died my son’s hockey team, the Great Neck Bruins, had already had Oren’s name put on all the children’s helmets,

there was a tree planted in Stepping Stone park for Oren from donations of parents, we received letters that we still open from son’s teachers at Lakeville Elementary School, his guidance counselor and principal at Great Neck South Middle School made themselves available to both of us and still do. It was extraordinary to see out of the wreckage of something so tragic and awful all the love and support, the dinners and assistance in so many ways that came to us because of the people that live and work in Great Neck. Two dear friends oﬀered to find Oren’s car while I was sitting by his bedside since Oren was in a coma for six days at North Shore Hospital. The song that was blasting from Oren’s CD player when they turned the car on was “Take the Long Way Home” by Super Tramp. If you knew Oren you wouldn’t be surprised. I listened to this song over and over. I still do and I am always struck by the chorus that says “When you look through the years and see what you could have been Oh, what you might have been, If you’d had more time. So, when the day comes to settle down, Who’s to blame if you’re not around? You took the long way home” This part always gets me because Oren’s life is like the song. The catastrophe, what could have been, who’s to blame, what if the driver had taken the long way home and not been speeding. It had been a typical morning, mak-

ing breakfasts and lunches, running oﬀ to work, my husband taking our son to school. I suppose it is always just a normal day when your life is forever changed. No one ever sees it coming. Oren will never dance at our son’s wedding or cheer at his middle school graduation next month or complain about having to get reading glasses or that the winter lasted too long this year, the normal things we all take for granted. And there’s a senselessness I feel to Oren’s death. Basically, if someone had stopped at the red light or not been speeding he would still be here. And that is a fact I have to live with every day. Each time I hear of someone getting hit by a car in our town or anywhere it brings it all back. The shock, the sadness, the way time stops. And like anything else or anywhere else we can be better. We can drive slower, we can walk more mindfully, we can model to our children what it means to be a good citizen by the way we treat the people who are walking in our neighborhoods as well as how we act behind the steering wheel of our cars. With a small group of parents, we are working to put together a 5K and Fun Run on Sunday, Nov. 4!starting in Grace Avenue Park starting at 8 a.m. The vision behind this is to bring together all the members of our vast Great Neck community and to raise awareness about the consequences of distracted driving, speeding and to re-

mind everyone to drive and walk mindfully. The first time Oren and I had a fight about something I burst into tears. In his very Israeli way he said “why are you crying?” And I told him because we are fighting and we’ve only known each other a very short time. And Oren said “these are the important moments, pay attention. You will get to see who I am and I get to see who you are because we will have conflicts and better to know now who walks beside you.” I got to see who walks beside me in this town in the last year and a half. And I would say the thing that got me through the worst days since Oren died is friendship and connection. Some new friends who we barely knew and some who were complete strangers and never met my husband. Old and new friends who lifted us up with our broken hearts and very quiet home and made us feel we were part of a whole and not alone. There are some logistical details to still get worked out but please keep the morning of Nov. 4!free and this tragedy in your minds as you walk and drive in our extraordinary town. Help us take Great Neck from having one of the most dangerous roads on Long Island to one of the safest. Please contact northshoreaction@gmail.com.

Manorhaven considers noise limits Proposed law would place max decibel levels in village, three laws also passed BY LU K E TORRANCE

Manorhaven approved three new laws at Thursday’s Board of Trustees meeting, including an updated version of a law passed in April that loosened the regulations on using trailers as oﬃces. That law was Local Law 6 of 2018, which was mostly similar to the one passed at last month’s meeting, although the final version passed by the board includes a time limit for the temporary use permit: six months. After that period ends, the Board of Trustees has the ability to extend the permit for up to six months, and also to set a fee for the permit. Previously, parking or maintaining a trailer in the village larger than five feet in width and eight feet in length was prohibited. But now the use of a trailer as an oﬃce would be temporarily permitted by the Building Department “upon showing of a hardship or other good cause.” Last year," Blank Slate Media reported" that Manorhaven did not impose fines on Dejana

Dejana was searching for a new location. The second law passed amended various parts of the code regarding where parking was prohibited in the village between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays from March 15 through Dec. 15. It also created parking for subcompact cars and motorcycles at Marwood Road West, Norwood Road West and Hickory Road. The third law passed banned the planting of bamboo in the village. “It grows quickly and it spreads … and it becomes a nuisance,” Avena said. All three laws will become eﬀective upon filing with the secretary of state. A fourth law that would PHOTO BY STEPHEN ROMANO regulate noise in Manorhaven was considered but not passed by the board.

Dr. Betty Diamond

Lupus study seen as aid for PTSD, autism BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I Dr. Betty Diamond of the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research said in a recent TEDMED talk that she and her fellow researchers believe! how the body’s antibodies pass the blood brain barrier and aﬀect the brain in lupus patients could be the key to increased understanding of brain diseases, such as autism and PTSD. Diamond, who has been with the Feinstein Institute for a decade and working with lupus research for more than 40 years, focused her recent talk on how antibodies can flow through an adult’s injured blood brain barrier or a fetus’s underdeveloped blood brain barrier during the second and third trimesters. About 10 percent of the population suﬀers from an autoimmune disease, Diamond said, and about 10 percent of the normal population has anti-brain antibodies similar to! Susannah Cahalan, author of “Brain on Fire: My Month of Madness.” Diamond said maternal antibodies don’t enter the fetal circulatory system until the second trimester. During the third trimester the barrier becomes fully developed and the risk of the mother’s antibodies interfering with the fetus decreases. “If we try to protect the fetus, we only have to protect the fetus during a short window of time,” Diamond said. “What I discussed in the TEDMED talk is that one of the potential strategies is a decoy antigen, giving the mom an antigen that all of these potentially pathogenic anti-brain antibodies will bind to and you therefore make the antibodies bind to that antigen instead of moving across the placenta to the fetal brain.” Diamond said some of the antibodies seen in lupus patients cross-react with a protein for those with neuropsychiatric

lupus, which diminishes their quality of life and currently has no direct treatment. Through those antibodies, Diamond said she found a potential window into factors contributing to! neuropsychiatric lupus when a research student pondered the increased frequency of children with learning disabilities born to women with lupus. Diamond said she was able to identity one antibody that seems to be involved with autism spectrum disorder, but it doesn’t mean every mother with lupus will bear an aﬀected child. “I’m a feminist, and I would never want to blame a mother for a problem in the child,” Diamond said. “I’ve worried very much about the kind of guilt this paradigm might engender in some people, but I think the way to look at it is as we understand more, the knowledge actually suggests the preventative or treatment strategies, and that’s what really needs to be emphasized.” Diamond said a similar occurrence could connect some of those with posttraumatic stress disorder and an injured blood brain barrier. “We’ve shown in some of our work that epinephrine will cause an impairment in the integrity of the blood brain barrier, so we know that’s one of the moments in an adult’s life when antibodies move from the circulation into the brain,” Diamond said. “Since, we! have wondered if some, not all, cases of PTSD are mediated in part by the fact that the enormous stress of the moment will cause an impairment of the blood brain barrier and there may be some antibodies that disrupt normal neural function.” The future of the team’s research, Diamond said, will be to work out prevention and therapeutic strategies for pregnant women and those with potentially injured blood brain barriers.

TRIBUTES AND MEMORIES

ALAN WAYNE WARSHOW 08/11/1926— 05/23/2018 A long-time resident of Sands Point, New York, Alan died peacefully on May 23, 2018 at the age of 91. Alan was the son of Alice and Joseph Warshow of New York City, New York and was born August 11,1926. He married Nancy Lewis of New Jersey on July 14, 1953. He attended North Carolina State University after which he joined the family business, H. Warshow & Sons, in 1948, until his retirement in 1986. Alan was a dedicated and loving husband to his wife Nancy for 60 years and the father of Leslie, John and Susan. Most important to Alan were family, friends and community. He was a member of the Board of Directors of Group Home, Port Washington Community Chest, who named him Citizen of the Year, and a lifetime Trustee and fundraiser for Northwell Health Systems.

In his later years he was a board member and oﬃcer of Landmark on Main Street, where he helped turn the old main street elementary school into a community center. Most important to Alan was his family. He enjoyed vacationing with his entire family for an extended week each summer. When he wasn’t running his business or volunteering, he loved playing tennis, golf and sunbathing by a pool or the ocean. Alan was preceded in death by his loving wife Nancy and devoted son John. Alan is survived by his two loving daughters, Leslie (and her husband Keith and son Jason), daughter Susan (and her partner Bryan), and daughter-inlaw Jenny (and sons David and Ethan). The family wishes to thank doctors Wadler, Bellucci, Katz, Allen, Karp and Vishnubhakat and PT Grucela for their compassionate care they provided over the years, which allowed Alan to have a life filled with joy and meaning. We are grateful for all the excellent care Alan and his wife received from their caregivers the last nine years. Memorial Services were held on May 29th. Memorial Contributions may be made to Port Washington Children’s Center, Landmark on Main Street, Feinstein Institute of Medical Research, and Hospice Care Network; charitable organizations whose work was of great importance to Alan.

DeRiggi-Whitton seeks Walker contracts review BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Former Nassau County Deputy Executive Rob Walker is scheduled to appear in court in September over charges that he obstructed justice and lied to the FBI. The charges stem from the fact that Walker allegedly received a payment from a contractor, and yet Nassau has continued to sign oﬀ on contracts he approved. County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D-Glen Cove) wants to put a stop to that. “I"understand the [Nassau County Executive Laura Curran] administration was going through a transition and Walker is innocent until proven guilty, but there is enough reason to be concerned,” she said. DeRiggi-Whitton first raised the alarm in May. Last week,"Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams (D-Freeport) sent a letter to Curran requesting that the county review and possibly rebid all contracts approved by Walker. Walker was charged in February with obstruction of justice and making false statements to the FBI. The Republican former state assemblyman allegedly received a $5,000 cash payment from a contractor. When he discovered that he was the subject of a federal investigation, Walker allegedly tried to convince the contractor to lie on his behalf. He later returned the payment to the contractor at a park while under surveillance by the FBI, according to prosecutors. They said the payment was turned over by the contractor to the FBI. They also said that when brought in for questioning, Walker denied ever receiving a payment from the contractor. During the trial of former Senate Majority Leader" Dean Skelos (R-Rockville Centre) in 2015, Walker admitted that he was under federal investigation over county contracts. Walker denied any wrongdoing. He has pleaded not guilty. Walker’s boss, former County Ex-

ecutive Edward Mangano, is on trial for allegedly receiving gifts from restaurateur" Harendra Singh in exchange for county contracts. During that trial, a witness testified that Walker was among the county officials who pushed for a bread and rolls contract to be awarded to a bakery run by Singh’s wife. “I"wouldn’t be asking this had the indictments not taken place for Walker and Mangano,” DeRiggi-Whitton said. “This is not normal.” She"said she understood that the Curran administration needed some time to get things running and applauded last week’s announcement of new regulations for the process of procuring contracts. But she said the county could no longer blindly approve Walker’s contracts. “I know the administration is short staffed and that they don’t want to hold up projects, but we held up bonding for so long because we wanted to make sure procurement was done correctly,” she said. “[Reviewing and rebidding]"is time well spent.” Curran spokesman Michael Martino said Curran was on the same page as her fellow Democrats in the Legislature. “We completely agree with Minority Leader Abrahams and his caucus and share their concerns,” Martino told Newsday. The Curran administration has already sued to invalidate contracts that Walker signed with the county’s five public employee unions in September 2017. Presiding Officer Richard J. Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said in a statement that Republicans will do their “due diligence” to scrutinize each contract that is up for approval. Among those in the majority is Rose Marie Walker"(R-Hicksville), Rob Walker’s mother. “I don’t want to put her in an awkward position and … I feel for her as a mother, but I can’t not say something,” DeRiggi-Whitton said.

Venditto found not guilty on all counts

Yanni’s Furs

BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Former Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto was found by a jury to be not guilty on all counts of political corruption last Thursday. The decision brought Venditto’s time at federal District Court in Central Islip to an end, but jury deliberations for former Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano and Mangano’s wife, Linda, continued. Venditto was charged with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and honest services wire fraud.!Restaurateur! Harendra Singh testified that he had bribed Venditto with free meals and limousine rides in exchange for millions in town-guaranteed loans. “From the very first day I started in law school I have had nothing but great faith in our justice system and the events of today confirm that faith,” Venditto told reporters shortly after the release of the jury’s verdict, according to Newsday. Venditto’s son, state Sen. Michael Venditto, praised the decision. “God is good and protects his chosen people,” he said, according to Newsday. While the jury was able to reach a

Former Town of Oyster Bay Supervisor John Venditto consensus regarding Venditto, the Manganos proved more diﬃcult. Like Venditto, Mangano was!charged with conspiracy to commit federal program bribery and honest services wire fraud. He was additionally charged with extortion and Venditto with securities fraud. Linda Mangano is charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice, making false statements to the FBI and obstruction of justice. Continued on Page 90

Urban meets suburban BY G R E TC H E N K E LL E R

erging the worlds of street art, graﬃti, architecture and city-life diversity, the new “URBAN POP” exhibition at the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck bursts with bright colors and includes a variety of stylistic elements and New York City history. Curator and gallery director Jude Amsel said she chose this kind of exhibit to create a bridge between urban and suburban life. “It’s about bringing a bunch of visual, cultural influences to the forefront in galleries,” she said. “These were artists that are now in major museums and galleries and a lot of them, they honed their skills on the street; others were working in their studio and they really found their own voice.” Works by Lenny Achan, Michelle Carollo, Luis “Zimad” Lamboy, Will Power and Shiro are all on display. Achan grew up in New York City and always had a strong appreciation for the laws of nature and geometry, which is evident throughout his work and use of old city transit maps to create animals such as dogs and birds. This is evident in his 36-by-36-inch piece titled “City Boy.” “My philosophy of modern art and the street art movement has been heavily influenced through studying and experiencing global disruption of various commercial and political industries,” Achan" said in the exhibition catalog. Carollo has on display a mixed media piece titled “Steampunk Davis” that is eight feet tall and eight feet wide. She said she tries to include elements of gender, pop culture and domestic industry in her work." “By using a series of symbols, figures, and built handicraft, my work blends the playful with the serious. I draw on multiple references from cartoons to graﬃti and entertainment, as well as technology and the history of art,” she explained in

the catalog. Amsel pointed to Carollo’s description of the work as a “real visual mashup that remixes spontaneous information with a type of order.” Lamboy also works with mixed media, yet on a smaller scale. His work “Hulk” is centered on the color green. It includes aspects of spray paint, graffiti, subway signs and old New York City taxis, green butterflies and Kermit the Frog, not to mention the Hulk superhero. Lamboy explained how he is returning to his roots in the Bronx through his work. “In the mid ‘80s, I discovered creating graffiti, collage and mixed media on paper which wasn’t being done at the time by any of my peers,” he said. “He’s telling a story of all the walls he’s done – and he’s done thousands of them – and all the characters he’s created,” said Amsel. Power’s works on display appear to be birds with spray paint can heads. Power, who used to be a graffiti artist in New York City, said these birds are part of the “INV8DERS” series. “The INV8DERS series is a hybrid fusion of a New York City pigeon with spray paint can. The pigeon represents Graffiti and Street artists, the spray paint can head represents The Contemporary Urban Art … The vibrant colorful background on his canvas is his foundation, his evolution from Graffiti,” Powers wrote in the catalog. Shiro is a Japanese-born artist who portrays hip-hop culture through her work. “In Japan, the only way to get information about hip-hop culture was to read books, watch videos and listen to music,” she wrote in the catalog. Shiro’s work has many cartoon aspects, bright colors and elements of stylistic New York graffiti.

1968 & Beyond: A Lennon Tribute Concert with Imagine John

Saturday, June 2 at 8 p.m. Brooklyn parents Alex (Claire Danes) and Greg (Jim Parsons) are lucky to have a kid like Jake. Their four-year-old is bright, precocious, creative—and just happens to prefer Disney princesses to toy cars and skirts to jeans. Described as gender-expansive by his adviser, Jake’s increasingly erratic behavior starts to cause a rift between the couple. Alex worries that the adults in her son’s life are labeling him prematurely, while Greg wonders if Jake’s fondness for dressing up might be more than just a phase. Split in their opinions on how to handle the situation, Alex and Greg find themselves navigating an emotional and ethical minefield with one patch of common ground between them: their fierce desire to do what’s right for Jake.

Port chamber plays host to HarborFest The Port Washington Chamber of Commerce and the Town of North Hempstead will be presenting the 28th annual HarborFest Dock Day and Craft Festival on Sunday, June 3. All events oﬃcially begin at 10 a.m. at the Town Dock, Baxter’s Pond and lower Main Street. Admission is free and there will be free parking at the train station and Manorhaven Park. A big attraction is the HarborFest Craft Fair featuring over 90 quality craftspeople. Their booths will be located along lower Main Street, near the Town Dock, making it one of the most picturesque craft fairs on Long Island. The HarborFest Craft Fair is sponsored by Blank Slate Media and Home Run Electric. Another attraction along Main Street is “Art In The Park” organized by The Art Guild and sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Manhasset/Port Washington. It features local artists displaying their work in Sunset Park, along the Manhasset Bay waterfront. They will also have a free Plein Air Workshop for all ages at 1:30PM and a free Clay Workshop for children at 12 p.m. Button making will be oﬀered

throughout the day. As soon as you enter the dock, look for the Chamber of Commerce booth near the entrance. They will be giving out free reusable shopping bags for all your HarborFest purchases and future shopping. The Chamber’s bags are sponsored by the Port Washington Water Taxi. Additional bags have been donated by Stop & Shop. Everyone is excited that the 3-masted schooner SoundWaters will return to Manhasset Bay for

HarborFest. On Saturday, June 2, the SoundWaters will depart the Town Dock for a Sunset Sail from 6 to 8 pm. During HarborFest Dock Day, on Sunday, June 3, SoundWaters will set sail at 12 pm, 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm. Reservations for all sails may be made online at www. harborfestcruises.eventbrite.com.

There are several other ways that people can see up close how beautiful our Bay truly is. Port Washington’s Water Taxi will be available to take people on scenic cruises throughout HarborFest. For the more adventurous, Atlantic Outfitters will oﬀer kayaking and paddle boarding! A highly anticipated event is the demonstration of the Port Washington Fire Department’s Fire Boat.

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, June 1, 2018 • GUIDE TO HARBORFEST

A walk through Port Washington’s history BY LU K E TOR R A N C E Port Washington’s history is long and detailed, stretching back before the founding of the United States. To recount it all would seem impossible, but the Cow Neck Historical Society’s walking tours have provided residents and visitors with lessons about the area’s founding, economy and points of interest. For those visiting Harborfest who want to learn more about the area, they don’t have to stray far from the festival grounds. The Town Dock itself, which hosts Harborfest, was originally built in the 1870s to serve steamboats. Port Washington at the time was sparsely populated and the primary industry was shellfishing (Matinecock Indians called this place Sintsink, “land of many shells”). The Town of North Hempstead took over the dock in 1910 and widened it in 1954. Nearby is Sunset Park, which is built on landfill pulled from the ground to create the East River tunnels. It was the Long Island Rail Road that led to the increased settlement of the area; when the train arrived in 1898, the peninsula had only 1,200 residents, a fraction of the 36,000 who live there today.

Around this time, sand mining was challenging shellfishing as the primary industry in Port. In 1880, two-thirds of men in Port listed “oysterman” as their profession. But sand mining — which began after the Civil War — was starting to catch up. From Mill Pond to Cow Neck Road, 200 million tons of sand was excavated for use in New York City subways, sidewalks, and skyscrapers. Shellfishing ended around 1925 due to pollution and overfishing, but sand continued to be pulled from the Port Washington ground until 1989. The Baxter Homestead was settled next to the Mill Pond in 1741 on land believed to have been the location of a Matinecock Indian village. The structure there served as Port’s first library in 1892 and was the home of American architect Addison Mizner; unfortunately, the house was torn down in October. Also gone is the Knickerbocker Yacht Club, which was founded in New York City in 1874. Originally located on the Harlem River, it moved to Port in 1907 and was located at the current location of the Knickerbocker Hotel. One old building that has managed to survive is the Bayles Building, which Continued on Page 62

Ask the Funeral Director… By Joseph Velotti, Funeral Director Roslyn Heights Funeral Home

Preplanning a funeral is undoubtedly one of the biggest and most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Whether it is for you or a loved one, the first step is obtaining all the necessary information to make an informed decision. More and more people are choosing to preplan/prepay their funeral and burial expenses. In doing so, they recognize that it is smart financial planning and provides great emotional relief for themselves and their loved ones. Prepaying your funeral will allow you to make your own funeral plans, but, more importantly, preplanning will spare surviving relatives and loved ones from the emotional burden of having to make decisions at a time of great stress and grief. The most common questions people ask when they are considering preplanning their funeral arrangements are:

We are proud to announce a major renovation to our facility. Our promise is to provide the upmost attention to detail to your family. Your family will receive concierge like service in an elegant home like surrounding. We offer a complete range of affordable, quality services from Traditional Funerals to Simple Cremation.

#1. Why Pre Plan at all? • Allows individuals the opportunity to make personal and specific selections for the funeral service that most closely meets their needs. • Spares loved ones from having to second-guess the wishes of the deceased at the time of need. • Allows for time to research funeral homes, burial options, and financial considerations; • Provides an option to set aside funds for final expenses, relieving family members of an unexpected financial burden. #2. Why Pre Pay for my arrangements? • Placing the cost of the funeral (at today's prices) in an investment vehicle, so that the interest earned will keep pace with inflation to cover the cost of the funeral (at future prices) when the death occurs. • Prevents life insurance policies from being depleted at the time of a loved one's death. • Allows individuals to consider options while they are better prepared to make sound, fiscally responsible decisions. • Spares loved ones the unexpected cost of a funeral during a stressful time. Roslyn Heights Funeral Home offers price guaranteed pre-arrangement thru PREPLAN a funeral trust pre-funding program backed by the NYS Funeral Directors Association, Inc. call 516-621-4545 for more information.

Symphony at cathedral Join the South Shore Symphony Orchestra for an evening of beautiful orchestral and organ music on Sunday, June 3 at 7:30 p.m. at the St. Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre. The South Shore Symphony Orchestra, under the musical direction and baton of Scott Jackson Wiley, will open the performance with the Concerto for Organ, Strings and Timpani in G minor of Francis Poulenc, played by Michael Bower, director of music at St. Agnes Cathedral, which premiered in 1938. Though not an overtly religious work, its composition coincided with the return of the composer to his original Christian faith, and is perhaps the most popular organ concerto since the Baroque period. !The Planets, by Gustav Holst, is a composition based on astrology rather than astronomy. !Since its premiere once hundred years ago, it has remained one of the most popular works in the symphonic canon. The South Shore Symphony Orchestra, based in Rockville Centre, is one of the premiere orchestras of Long Island and is an associate of the Rockville Centre Guild for the Arts. The performance is free to the public, but a donation of $15 is requested. St. Agnes Cathedral is located at 29 Quealy Place in Rockville Centre and is wheelchair accessible. For further information, go to www.sssymphony.org.

The Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society (CNPHS) has a spectacular lineup of tours, open houses, and an exciting new (yet old) event.

The event takes place June 24 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. In the morning is the antique car hill climb, an" event popular in the 1920s, ’30s and" ’40s. Classic (pre-1940) cars assemble at Hempstead Harbor Beach Park and are timed racing up the hill. At noon, a parade of antique cars will head over to the Sands-Willets House, joining some ‘newer’ antiques (through the 1970s) for a classic car show. While you’re there, enjoy live music by the CNPHS’s house band The Front Porch Players, take a tour of the Sands-Willets house, and more. Free admission to the general public. Got an antique car to enter in the Hill Climb or a classic car you’d like to show? Visit our website" www.cowneck.org" to learn more about the require-

Victor Lewis and members of the Friendship Baptist Church joined Rabbi Michael White and their neigh-

powerful that all those attending expressed the need to continue the discourse more than just once a year. The love and sense of community in the room were palpable. “Temple Sinai of Roslyn and the Friendship Baptist Church enjoy a wonderful, warm and beautiful friendship, nourished over many years,” Rabbi White said. “We study scripture together and we have deep. meaningful, honest conversations about the challenges we face in a world darkened by bigotry, racism, and mistrust. Pastor Lewis is my close friend, and our communities know that we will always support each other and stand up for each other, because that’s what friends do.” At the event, Temple Sinai member Andy Kraus referred to the Norman Rockwell painting entitled “Golden Rule,” where a group of people of different races, religions, and ethnicities serve as a backdrop for the inscription “Do Unto Other as You Would Have Them Do Unto You.” Kraus wonders why this is so complicated.

Nassau hikes legal age to buy tobacco BY R E B ECC A K L A R Nassau County legislators last Wednesday unanimously approved a law banning anyone under 21 from buying tobacco products in the county. The law, proposed by the Republican majority in April,! came after years of GOP opposition to a Democratic effort to raise the age from 18. The law mainly affects Oyster Bay, as similar laws already exist in North Hempstead and Hempstead. The law will fine stores for selling tobacco products including cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, herbal cigarettes, rolling papers and electronic cigarettes to underage customers. Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said some lawmakers in his party had previously opposed the bill, believing those who are 19 or 20 are old enough to make the decision themselves. However, he said, the rise in young people using e-cigarettes created a “new

urgency.” “I think it’s something that will be very beneficial to the health and well being of the young people in our county,” Nicolello said. Legislator Arnold Drucker (D-Plainview) introduced a similar law last April. His predecessor, the late Judy Jacobs, had been a proponent of raising the age for years. “It’s long overdue legislation,” Drucker said. “I’m gratified and happy that it was passed, and that the Republican majority had finally come to their senses and realized that this is a piece of legislation that saves lives.” In regards to the switch in the GOP view, Drucker speculated that the Republicans may have felt that they were “running out of excuses.” Drucker and Nicolello both noted that most cigarette smokers start in their teens. By raising the legal age to purchase tobacco, it helps prevent teens from picking up the habit, Drucker said.

Venditto found not A day at the races : guilty on all counts part one OUR TOWN

Continued from Page 25

All three pleaded not guilty. Deliberations continued throughout the end of last week, with the jury requesting more transcripts on Friday. After the Memorial Day weekend, the jury was supposed to reconvene on Tuesday, but deliberations were held up when one juror called in sick. Judge Joan Azrack denied the defense’s request for a mistrial and instead had the ill juror replaced with an alternate, according to Newsday.

Ed Mangano’s attorney, Kevin Keating, had requested a mistrial because the note from the ill juror said there was cursing and name-calling among jury members and the environment in the jury room was “toxic,” Newsday reported. But Azrack said such disagreements were common. “Jury deliberations by their nature are often passionate and heated,” she said, according to Newsday. On Wednesday, the jury sent a note shortly after noon saying that it

remained deadlocked, according to Newsday. Azrack gave the jury an Allen charge, which encourages the jurors — particularly those in the minority — to reconsider their positions. Keating again asked for a mistrial, saying that “the atmosphere in the jury room appears to have worsened,” according to Newsday, and the jury might be coerced into a verdict. But Azrack said it was “not unusual” for deliberations to last a number of days.

As a run-up to this year’s Belmont Stakes and Justify’s attempt to win the Triple Crown let’s spend some time getting to know the rich, intense, wild, quirky secret world of horse racing. Horse racing has a long history dating back to ancient Greek times as early as 648 BC. Horse racing was part of the Greek Olympics and the Roman Empire had chariot racing as a major industry with many deaths to rider and horse during these races. In more recent times Rome would hold a race with twenty riderless horses which would race along the Via del Corso in the center of Rome. Thoroughbred racing became very popular with the aristocracy in Great Britain which earned it the name “Sport of Kings”.

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

There are four types of racing including flat racing, jump or steeplechase racing, harness racing and endurance racing of up to 100 miles. Each country and each track has its own character. I was amazed when I went to the track outside of Rome how the favorite snack to eat was olives. The Epsom racecourse in Surrey, England has severe gradients and uphill climbs. In America, there is a

wide variety of superb race tracks with the most beautiful being Saratoga in New York, Del Mar in California and Churchill Downs. Perhaps the most famous film about racing was the 1937 classic “A Day at the Races” with Maureen O’Sullivan and the Marx Brothers and was filmed at Santa Anita Racetrack in California. During the depression era racing dominated the American sports world along with boxing. The American sporting landscape had no NBA, no NFL, no Super Bowl and no PGA to distract the sports fan. Gil Puentes who is a well-known horse owner invited me to spend a day at Belmont racetrack to get a more in-depth view of how things stand nowadays. Continued on Page 108

Letter contained errors, but point was correct

y thanks to David Zevin for pointing out stock performance errors in my earlier message that related! some of President Trump’s accomplishments; and my apologies to Times readers and editors for those errors. My letter contained several reliable statistics obtained from newspapers and the internet but stock performance was inexcusably quickly estimated on the back of an envelope. Percentage changes are of course dependent on the reference days selected but my error was caused by referencing the wrong year. Also, President Obama served two terms and his first, coming oﬀ the bottom of a recession by benefit of Quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve Board, beat his second.

Mr. Zevin avers that the Trump shareprice rise was engineered for the benefit of the “1 percent.” Is self-styled heavy trader David Zevin in the 1 percent or is his account loaded with losses? I suspect neither and am happy for his probable profits. Who can forget progressive economics professor Paul Krugman’s assertion on election night, following the initial 800-point Dow decline, that the market will never recover? Parroting “progressive” talking points may induce hate and/or despondence but such lies are simply a more vicious kind of “fake news.” Len Mansky Roslyn

Cuomo’s LaG train-to-plane unrealistic

ov. Andrew Cuomo continues to be! overly optimistic concerning building a train to the plane for LaGuardia Airport.! In 2016, New York State awarded a $14.6 million contract to Parsons Brinckenhoﬀ for design and engineering.! In 2017, the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey has added $55 million bringing the total amount of their approved project funding to $70 million leaving a $930 million shortfall.! This funding is just-see money which will finance the start of a very long journey. Success for this project is dependent upon the Port Authority and MTA working well together. Seventeen!years!after 9/11, the Cortland Street World Trade Center No. 1 IRT subway station! is still many months away from being back in service.! If there are no new delays,! perhaps the station will reopen by December!2018.! The Port Authority & MTA fought for years over budget, funding sources, scope and schedule. Construction for the MTA! portion of the project started in 2015.!In early 2014, Gov. Cuomo said the estimated cost for construction of the LaGuardia Air Train would be $450 million.! At the time, this was based! upon a!planning feasibility study. ! Over four years have passed since Cuomo announced this project with little progress to date. There are no! environmental documents or any preliminary!design and engineering eﬀorts necessary to validate any actual construction costs.! The environmental review process will be further delayed.! More time will be needed to look at newly proposed concepts of building the Air Train over the Flushing Bay Promande or Flushing Bay.! Building the Air Train over one of these two concepts versus the original op-

tion of using the Grand Central Parkway median could easily add several hundred million to overall construction costs.! ! ! I previously wrote that the anticipated final potential cost for La Guardia Airtrain could end up several hundred million dollars above Cuomo’s estimated figure of $450 million. I also predicted that the promised completion date by 2019 was unrealistic.! Both have proven to be true.! The! Port Authority 2017 – 2026 capital budget plan lists this project at $1 billion.! Costs will be further refined as the project progresses thru the environmental review process, preliminary and final design, award of construction contracts followed by change orders to the base contracts during construction. Cuomo’s belief that this will provide a “one-seat ride” for those traveling to and from LaGuardia Airport isn’t born out by the facts. ! There will be significant conflicts when the LaGuardia Airtrain is built and open for service with connections to both the Mets Willets Point subway and LIRR stations. Why would any LaGuardia Airportbound!travelers with luggage attempt to squeeze in on already packed a.m. and p.m. rush hour subway and LIRR trains? ! Cuomo apparently never considered how this issue will be resolved when contemplating this project.! Cuomo in 2014!promised that the LaGuardia Airtrain would be up and running within 5 years by 2019. !Now he has said this will occur by!2021.! Even this date appears unrealistic.! Completion of the environmental review, preliminary and final design and engineering may require another three years.! You will be lucky if construction begins in 2022 and completed by end of 2025.!!

Most Nassau and Suffolk County residents will never take the LIRR to LaGuardia via Jamaica and Woodside Stations.! Only Port Washington branch riders have a straight connection.! For everyone else, first, you would have to either drive, have someone else drop you off or leave your car at an LIRR station for several days or take a taxi.! Most LIRR station commuter parking lots are designed for same day usage and not overnight multiple-day storage.! Who would want to leave your car in an!unattended lot overnight over several days with no security? ! For those traveling from! diesel territory branches (including those commuting! from stations east of Huntington to Port Jefferson,!east of Mineola to Oyster Bay,! east of Babylon to Speonk or Montauk and east of Ronkonkoma to Greenport), you would probably have to first change at either Huntington, Babylon, Mineola!or Ronkokoma. ! Next, change at either Jamaica and or Woodside to board a Port Washington bound train to Mets Willets Point.! There is no room to run additional trains in or out of Penn Station during either a.m. or p.m. rush hours via the East River tunnels with connections via the Port Washington LIRR branch to any LaGuardia Air Train. This conflicts with Cuomo’s promise to have the MTA LIRR introduce a new frequent service between Penn Station and Mets Willets Point LIRR Station. ! No mention of a similar service from Grand Central Terminal once LIRR East Side Access is achieved in December 2023 or later. Three of four East River tunnels running inbound during a.m. and outbound p.m. rush hours have very tight spacing between trains. One tunnel is shared by the LIRR, New Jersey Transit and Amtrak

for reverse train movements with equally tight spacing during rush hours. There is no platform capacity at Penn Station to accommodate any additional trains during rush hour. Penn Station is currently operating at 100 percent capacity during both a.m. and p.m. rush hours. If one of the four tunnels is temporarily out of service, the result is numerous delays and cancellation of trains.! Completion of Communication Based Train Control followed by the implementation for the Flushing to Hudson Yards No. 7 subway line may only result in increasing the number of trains per hour from 30 to 32 in each direction during rush hour. After that, NYC Transit no longer has any other opportunity for increasing rush hour capacity. ! A true one seat ride could be accomplished by simply extending the! N & W subway lines from their current terminus at Astoria/Ditmars Blvd to LaGuardia Airport.! This previously died due to local community opposition. To! build! a train to the plane from Mets – Willets!#7 subway and LIRR station to LaGuardia Airport within five years for $1 billion is a planners dream.! In reality,! it! will be a nightmare for both taxpayers and riders.! You can count on!cost overruns in the hundreds of millions!and multiyear delays in construction before reaching beneficial use.!!

Activism through art on Long Island

any of us here on Long Island are active citizens in our own way. Some of us write opinion pieces for local papers, campaign for candidates, and/or attend meetings, marches, protests, or support matters that we feel are important in various other ways. We are a community of journalists, educators, retirees, politicians, parents, students, and much more. Like many others, I care about societal issues such as social and civil rights, gender equality, and environmental protections. As a concerned citizen, I sometimes write about political issues, have volunteered to campaign for local candidates, attend events, and engage in dialogue with community members. Yet, my current experience hosting a photographic gallery, at a local town garden, has opened my mind to the potential of activism through art. There is a long and powerful history of activism through art. A recent visit to the Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C. has reinforced my interest in the idea that activism through art is not just one form of activism, but perhaps an underutilized and important one in both local and national politics. The purpose of my current photographic gallery is, in part, to encourage Long Islanders to explore the wonderful natural world around us. We have an incredible variety of wildlife right here on the island, such as the threatened piping plover, along with amazing opportunities to reju-

venate the spirit by witnessing something as stunning as the sun rising over the ocean water at one of our local beaches. I had decided to pair the photographs with quotes from some of the most prolific transcendental thinkers and naturalists who were, in many ways, also progressive on social issues. For example, Margaret Fuller was ahead of her time on issues of gender, social equality, and civil rights. Therefore, I have included quotes regarding gender issues, racial equality, as well as environmental protection. Will the quotes and photos in my humble, local gallery inspire social and political dialogue? Will the photo of a piping plover walking alongside plastic trash at the Jones Beach shoreline encourage a citizen to rethink plastic pollution? Ideally, it would. Yet, perhaps, not. Nevertheless, the photos I have taken and shared of Long Island nature, over the past couple of years, I realized, have created an enthusiasm and dialogue with others that I may not have been able to accomplish, without the use of the artistic image. In my journey photographing nature on Long Island, I have come to understand that protecting our environment and caring for the natural world is not a protection for something outside of ourselves. Rather, it is the protection and nurturing of our own quality of life, our potential for joy, and health of mind and body for ourselves and future generations. Therefore, how can I eﬀec-

tively communicate this and engage in dialogue with others about this topic? I am certainly far from being the most skilled or talented photographer on our island. Further, not every nature photographer has a desire to effect societal change. Yet, there is an undeniable transformative power of art that enables a kind of communication that may not have otherwise been feasible. This is not to say, of course, that art and images replace the written word or communication of facts. Rather, in some instances, a picture and a thousand words is more powerful than the words without the image. In addition, the kind of words that we use to describe images also matter. Just as many of us learn differently, we also are also inspired and engage with the world differently. Educators differentiate learning in the classroom. Likewise, as community leaders or activists, we can engage with our fellow citizens in various and powerful ways; creative expression can aid in the framing of an issue. It is not just artists that connect to artistic expression. Rather, it is a characteristic of the human condition to be motivated, inspired, and engaged with imagery and metaphor. I have been reminded of George Lakoff ’s ideas, in recent times, when thinking of activism through art." As Lakoff asserts, “this is how reason really works: through framing, metaphors, emotion, narratives, and imagery.” Along with the power of language

usage and metaphors, Lakoff understood that photography was art. While serving on a panel for the National Endowment for the Arts during the Carter administration, Lakoff introduced the idea that photography is indeed art. Understanding the power of creative expression through photographic image, Lakoff changed arts policy through changing the definition of art. All kinds of craft making is art, he argues. For George Lakoff, the use of metaphor, framing, and imagery to influence social and political change is not designated to a small group of elite and talented artists. Rather, for Lakoff, framing and use of a metaphor is a powerful means of influencing mindset, for better or worse. Therefore, how can we utilize the power of creative expression to frame issues, create dialogue and empower citizens to engage?" We can use activism through art, and creative expression, not as a tool of propaganda, but as a vehicle of democratic dialogue and deliberation within our communities. Perhaps, as a community, we may explore the use of creative expression as a way to facilitate progress, increase civic engagement, and raise awareness and communication about important issues.

Business&RealEstate

Don’t wait for your perfect home I hope all my readers had an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend, even with the rain and remembered why we celebrate that day; my hat is off for all those that sacrificed their lives for the benefit of all our freedoms that we enjoy daily! I see this every day, clients looking for that special or one of a kind home for them to buy. I know, you are constantly searching, probing, digging far and wide for your next “place to call home” but it hasn’t materialized just yet and frustration is beginning to take hold. Should we stop looking, stay in our current apartment or home and just go to a larger rental, upgrade or expand our current residence, since the kids are getting bigger and we need more space? This was much easier, seven years ago, when the market was bottoming out and inventory was plentiful and prices were at their lowest! Some pulled the trigger and saw the opportunity and many sat back and did nothing due to “fear” (fanaticized-expectations-appearingreal). Fast forward to 2018, beggars can’t be choosers in the current 30-year low in our inventory, due to a 35-year high in demand. Many, many families and individuals waited and waited for a multitude of reasons, some understandable and most not! Even the boomerang crowd, who may have lost their home to bankruptcy, foreclosure or short sale situations, due to unaffordability, lost jobs or businesses, (discussed in my column two weeks ago), have come back in a frenzy to purchase once again! My advice is to go out and find something to buy and reduce your wish list to a bare minimum. I promise you, that your financial future, will be in a much, much stronger and healthier position to build your wealth and not at the expense of you providing your current landlord with all the “spoils of ownership.” All those write-offs, interest and real estate tax deductions (limited to a maximum of $10,000 per year S.A.L.T. -state and local taxes-" by our president’s new tax laws) increased value, and due to compounding, increasing your wealth over the long run, will be handed

over to someone else. Lastly, the security of knowing that you have control over whether or not you will have to move, because your landlord’s son, relative or friend will be moving in and he or she will not renew your lease or they are selling their home in this hot market and you have to move, in 30 days! As many have realized and know, it’s a “no-brainer” that increasing your wealth begins with ownership of real estate, especially your own home. However, I have seen the increased diﬃculty and frustration of buyers in gaining the necessary foothold. As interest rates increase and inventory keeps decreasing, gaining the “ownership position, is eluding and escaping the reach of many; culminating in either staying put in their current rental, and making due or moving up to a larger apartment, as mentioned earlier. However, mortgage interest rates have escalated to the highest point in four years as per the National Association of Realtors so the cost of owning keeps increasing, and lack of inventory, is stopping many from purchasing!

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

Waiting is obviously, not the most advantageous decision and yes, I know, you haven’t been able to find that “special place to call home” yet, you hesitate to just purchase anything. My advice is to find the best school district that you can find for the budget that you have, maybe push the envelope, a little bit; but find a home, even if needs repairs and upgrades! You can always save money and make changes over time, but at least you will ride the wave and increase your wealth through ownership. Will your bank account pay you 8.1% interest, which is how much homes went up from March of 2017-March of 2018

(N.A.R.) where you are earning, on paper a leveraged amount based on the value of your home compared with your bank interest rate of 1/2 percent; or your 401K, IRA or pension plan where (you can borrow from your retirement account for a first time primary residence, medical bills and student loans or education without penalty)? Another option would be your parents, relative or a very close friend that would gift you (no tax consequence if a gift from parents, discuss with our accountant for details) your down payment, which would enable you to purchase. I am not suggesting that finding the home you really want will be easy; but what I am saying is go through a trade-oﬀ process and bare bones your decisions based on your financial future to increase your wealth, to stay ahead of whatever inflation comes down the road or guaranteed increased rents. When you buy, you are putting yourself in an amazing position of attaining a fixed lease for 30 years, it’s called a mortgage! Now, some of you sellers, what are you waiting for, a downturn, as it will eventually

happen as interest rates rise, the demand decreases leading to lower prices? Right now is a really opportune moment in time to cash in and consider selling, while prices are at this historic level. Waiting could be detrimental as interest rates go back to our normal 6.5-7 percent; which in turn will have an eﬀect on demand, potentially causing prices to go down to attract fewer buyers. As they say, “buy low and sell high” isn’t that the way to do it? Think of what you paid for your home, way back when and what the value is today and how much you can put in your pocket without having to pay any income taxes on your profit ($250,000 for singles and $500,000 for married couples). Start thinking of where you might want to retire or move to and call me if you need any advice or assistance and my consultations are free* ask me for details.

Patti Wood talks tech in Great Neck BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N An environmental activist explored the possible downsides of technology such as light emitting diodes, wireless fiber optics and smart meters at the Great Neck Library last Wednesday night in hopes of educating the public. Patti Wood, the founder and head of Grassroots Environmental Education, told the audience of dozens that modern wireless technology like cellphones, towers and routers runs the risk of higher exposure to radiofrequency radiation – labeled by the World Health Organization as “possibly carcinogenic.” She also highlighted some downsides of LED lights through studies, like one at the University of California at Irvine showing the presence of lead and other chemicals within the bulbs. She said the LED lights do not give oﬀ near-infrared radiation to spur

retina cells to heal, all while damaging them and photoreceptors with blue light – the shortest light wavelength. “They are indisputably more energy efficient but they also present an array of potential health problems,” Wood said, recommending the use of specially tinted yellow glasses. “In fact, LED lights actually have a very dark side, which is really news to a lot of people.” Wood endorsed the use of incandescent bulbs, which have a more yellow light, and landline phones. In regard to cellphones, Wood said people should consider using speakerphone and an air-tube headset. She also said cellphones should not be kept on nightstands to avoid unnecessary exposure and either turned off or put on airplane mode when in a car. The overhead lights were kept off during the presentation, with event organizers opting to work by natural light

through the windows and the shine of the projector. There were also piles of materials, labeled as “fact sheets” about 5G wireless technology, LED lighting and wireless utility meters, as well as a brochure for Grassroots Environmental Education and a neon yellow card oﬀering tips on cellphone use. Rebecca Rosenblatt Gilliar, the program’s organizer, said the event was meant to explore the potential dangers of emerging technologies through the eyes of an environmental expert and recent studies. “She didn’t come here tonight to give you her opinion, she didn’t come here tonight to say she’s for or against something,” Gilliar said. “She came to tell you what she understands about the latest research – medical and scientific – about the topic she’s approaching.”

Luncheon aids JCC memory loss programs BY A M E L I A C A M U R AT I When the Friendship Circle luncheon began 15 years ago, Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center was beginning to see a change in its members’ needs. Assistant Director of Development#Bridgette Troisi said the luncheons, started by Denise Silverberg, saw the need to expand the center’s existing day programs for members with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia and Parkinson’s disease to every weekday. “Unfortunately, we’re really seeing a need,”# Troisi said. “The program began as an adult day program for seniors with dementia with three people. As we continue to serve our community, this is a population that is growing and their needs are growing.” The center’s programs are tailored to the full spectrum of individuals with neurodegenerative diseases, from cognitive exercises and support groups for those in the early stages to structured day programs for frail and memory-impaired individuals suﬀering from more advanced disorders. The Let’s Do Lunch program is a first-of-its-kind program designed for individuals in their 30s, 40s and 50s with young onset dementia and neurodegenerative illnesses and their children to have a night of pizza and fun, giving the children and parents time to bond with each other over shared experiences, Troisi said. Troisi said the programs are as important for the members as well as their caregivers, parents, spouses, children and professionals who are given time to go to work, run errands or take a break from full-time caregiving responsibilities. This year’s event, to be held at 11 a.m. on June 6 at Old Westbury Golf and Country Club, is sold out, but Troisi

Chaminade runs shooting drill BY R E B ECC A K L A R

Less than a week after a shooting at a high school in Texas killed eight students and two teachers, the Cohen Children’s Medical Center and Chaminade High School led a mock shooting drill. “The importance of this day is to ensure that we’re doing everything possible to keep our students as safe as possible while they’re in our building,” Thomas Dillon, director of student activity at Chaminade, said in a Northwell news release. “We can’t go a week without a tragedy of this type happening, so this is an important step in the overall safety of our students.” The shooting at Santa Fe High

School in Texas was not an anomaly. There have been 22 school shootings so far this year – about one per week, according to Northwell Health. “We are doing this drill today to be prepared for the possibility of an active shooter or mass casualty situation at our hospital,” Dr. Jose Prince, director of trauma surgery at Cohen, said in the release. “We have to be sure that we have the resources and logistics in place to treat as many patients as we can in the most eﬃcient ways possible.” Around 10:15 a.m. last Wednesday, buses and ambulances carrying 15 students in various levels of fake physical and psychological distress arrived at the pediatric emergency room.

The drill followed the typical steps that would follow a disaster situation, according to the release. Evaluations included triage, family reunification and admitting procedures. Several of the students were wielding pre-made rubber wounds to their heads, arms and chests. Anthony Avarello, 14, had a mock chest wound and was listed in critical condition in the drill. “I’m glad to do whatever I can to help my school,” Avarello said in the release. “It makes us all feel a bit more comfortable to know that our school and the hospital are on top of the situation.”

Gerard Terry gets three years Continued from Page 1 Federal prosecutors argued that Terry demonstrated a long pattern of systematically avoiding paying federal taxes through false tax returns, creating accounts not in his name, pressuring colleagues to not answer IRS notices of levy, and cashing checks rather than depositing them in accounts where they could be seized. They also argued that Terry had overstated his illness and many times appeared to not be so ill, pointing to logs showing him working up to 20hour days. “Gerard Terry lived by a diﬀerent standard than the taxpayers he served, taking money from them in payment for the numerous governmental and quasigovernmental jobs he held, while fail-

ing to pay the taxes he owed on those jobs,” U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue said in a statement. In court, Terry, who was already in custody, said he takes “full responsibility for my actions,” feels “deep and profound remorse,” and intends to work out his outstanding debts with the IRS. Prosecutors have said that Terry failed to file income tax returns from 2000 to 2015, while making about $250,000 annually from various jobs with local entities – avoiding more than $992,057 in federal income taxes – and serving as North Hempstead’s Democratic Party chairman. They also said Terry “routinely provided false, misleading and incomplete information” to the Internal Revenue Service, once created a checking ac-

count in the name of a corporate nominee to conceal income, and “pressured colleagues and subordinates to not comply with IRS notices of levy.” Articles in Newsday and the Great Neck Record pertaining to Gerard Terry practicing law on May 2, 2018, despite being disbarred on Sept. 25, 2017, after a guilty plea to tax fraud, were also raised as a concern by Seybert. Scaring said the revocation was not made oﬃcial until May 9, and that Seybert was drawing “some strong conclusions” from the article. “I’m troubled that your honor is drawing inferences from a newspaper article,” Scaring said. Terry will be sentenced for state tax fraud on June 4.

A day for remembering veterans in Port Continued from Page 1 larks, still bravely singing, fly/Scarce heard amid the guns below,” one veteran recited. There are no longer any surviving World War I veterans in Port Washington. But veterans from every war since then — World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan — took their turns standing to be recognized. The ceremony was preceded by a parade down Main Street in Port Washington. After a hot, muggy weekend, it was cool and cloudy as participants assembled on Port Washington Boulevard, but that did not hurt attendance. In addition to the veterans, the Paul D. Schreiber High School marching band and cheerleaders took part in the parade, as did various Boy and Girl Scout troops, police, firefighters and a variety of local organizations. The parade route ended at the Town Dock, where attendees and participants alike headed to the adjacent Sunset Park for a ceremony at the bandshell. Veterans were joined on stage by members of the Schreiber band, who performed the national anthem, “America the Beautiful” and “God Bless America,” with vocals provided by Bob Breslin. The Rev. Gary Parker of St. Stephen’s Church, a former U.S. Navy chaplain, gave opening remarks and a closing bene-

The two grand marshals for the parade were also recognized during the ceremony:# Douglas Schlaefer Sr. of

VFW Post 1819 and John Hellenschmidt of American Legion Post 509. Schlaefer served in the U.S. Army during the Korean War and# Hellenschmidt in the National Guard. Both men are longtime Port Washington residents. John Fiore, commander of VFW Post 1819, introduced Schlaefer and took a moment beforehand to briefly describe

what the day meant to him and other veterans. “Please don’t wish me happy Memorial Day. There’s nothing happy about the loss of the brave men and women of our armed forces who died in combat defending America,” he said. “Memorial Day is a time for reflection, pause, remembrance and thanksgiving.”

Port Chabad denies Ukraine connection Continued from Page 2 BBC reached out to Chabad to verify the claim or request comment. The BBC updated its article to say that Chabad oﬃcials “were not involved.” While Paltiel praised the clarification, he said he was still unsure why the synagogue had to be mentioned in the first place.

“The question still remains as to why they are including us in a story in which we have no role,” he said in a statement. The synagogue does have ties to Felix Sater, who was named in the BBC report as having connections to Cohen. Sater is a Port Washington resident who was twice named Man of the Year by the Chabad, and who worked on several Trump proj-

ects — such as# Trump SoHo and an aborted Trump high-rise in Moscow — with real estate development company Bayrock Group. Emails in which he bragged of his close connections to Russian President Vladimir Putin#caught the eye of Justice Department oﬃcials, according to a New York Times report.

Sater has denied that he was involved in a deal between Ukraine and Cohen. He recently put his# 3,600-square-foot mansion in Sands Point up for sale. According to the BBC,# Poroshenko has denied that he paid for the meeting.

We were joined in the Trustee’s Room by Debbie Solimine who once ran the Turf and Field Club and also by Jimmy Ferraro who has trained horses for 41 years. One of the most notable aspects of my conversation with them was how many stories this “Sport of Kings” oﬀers up. The Trustee Room is this elegant wood-paneled restaurant with famous oil paintings on the walls, a wonderful view of the racetrack below and is the place where you may be rubbing elbows with Burt Bacharach, Woody Allen or even President Clinton. Gil Puentes told me of the time he had lunch with John Forsthye, Debbie Solomine told me of how charming and sweet Bill Clinton was and Jimmy Ferraro told me of how Mickey Rooney loved to play the horses. I have my own stories to tell as well. My family has been in the thoroughbred breeding and racing game for three generations. One day when I was at Saratoga running our best horse, Dr. Carrington, I found myself chatting with Yogi Berra. And a few years later ago I found myself consoling MC Hammer in the Trustees Room after he lost a million dollar bet. I still remember his all-white leather suit with a gold chain around his neck. And that, of course, is the appeal and the essence of racing. It brings everyone together in one place. My cousin said “the race track is the crossroads of the world. It’s just like the United Nations. Every day you see celebrities, politicians, the superrich and the common man all sitting together with one thing in common. They’re love of horse racing.” Horseracing has a long history with gambling and that aspect of the sport generates about $115 billion per year worldwide. Gambling is actually the least attractive and least compelling aspect of the game. The charm of the game includes the majestic beauty of the animals, the sound their hooves make as they race by, the roar of the crowd as the horses come thundering down the stretch. Horse racing is compelling because of

the look of the brave jockeys with their colorful silks. A day at the races has a leisurely feel to it as you sit and dine, chat for a bit, attempt to read the racing form, have a quick jaunt to the betting window and then keep your fingers crossed. You can walk down to the paddock to get some fresh air and listen as the man says “Riders up!” A waiter that I recognized from years back told me he missed the days when the stands were filled every weekend with 50,000 screaming fans. One may share that worry. Where are the legends like Secretariat, Seattle Slew or Aﬃrmed? Where have Eddie Arcaro or Willie Shoemaker gone? Well it’s true that back in the 30’s racing did not have to contend with competition from the NFL, Major League Baseball, the NBA, the PGA or the NHL. Television and the phrase couch potato didn’t exist. Yes horse racing has seen better days but that does not mean it will disappear. There is simply too much beauty and excitement and social energy in this game for it to stay down too long. It has been with us one thousand years before the birth of Christ. Three thousand years of pounding hooves and cheering crowds. Someone once said there is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse so next week I will talk to some jockeys to discover what that secret is. Just in time to watch Mike Smith whisper into the ear of Justify as they come thundering down the stretch at the Belmont Stakes. If you want to have some fun, get yourself and your family out to the races. And here’s a tip: go down to the paddock, stand by the rail and watch the jockeys and the owners as they walk by. You just might catch a glimpse of Madonna, Justin Timberlake or Matt Damon behind those sunglasses. After all they’re just like you and me. They love the excitement of racing, the colors worn by the jocks and the roar of the crowd as Justify comes thundering down the stretch.

Luncheon aids JCC memory loss programs Continued from Page 97 said a silent auction is available online through 2:30 p.m. June 6 at!sjjcc.org/ luncheon. The event will honor Donna Schlessinger of Muttontown, who has been co-chair of the luncheon for the past four years and was the first co-chair of the Yellow Rose Society, a group that raises funds year-round for the center’s programs. Tikkun Olum Award recipient Gale Sitomer, who will also be honored at the luncheon, has worked tirelessly to support causes, including Special Olympics, United Cerebral Palsy, Mothers Voices, the Allen Stevenson School and multiple breast cancer research organizations. She also serves on the board of the Michael Bolton Charities, which focus

on women and children aﬀected by domestic violence in New York and Connecticut. Master of ceremonies Greg Kelly will present this year’s entertainment, television and Broadway star Laura Benanti, sponsored by Americana Manhasset. Benanti currently stars in the TBS comedy “Detour” and has previously had roles in “Supergirl,” “Nashville,” “The Good Wife” and “Nurse Jackie.” She has been a beloved Broadway figure since she made her debut in “The Sound of Music.” In 2008, she won the Tony Award, a Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Gypsy Rose Lee in “Gypsy” opposite Patti LuPone. Journalist Paula Zahn will also make a special appearance at the luncheon.

Port artist creates pieces for U.S. Open Continued from Page 2 see if we could come up with what they were looking for, and we managed to find a happy ground.” She said that typical products with a logo tended to be pretty plain and “not very artisan or handmade looking.” The challenge was trying to put her own spin on a standard design, but it was nonetheless a challenge she enjoyed. “It was fun to find shapes and colors that was a representation of my work, and represented them as well,” she said. A less fun challenge to work out was how to glaze the logo. The logo for!Shinnecock Hills Golf Club includes the head of a Native American in front

of a golf club and arrow. Bridges said those little details were hard to produce on one product, let alone 500. “The! logo was pretty fine, with lots of little lines and writing,” she said. “When you work in glazes, it will obliterate any kind of writing. But I think they turned out nicely.” Her collection will! be on display in the Main Merchandise Pavilion at Shinnecock from June 7 through 17, between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. No ticket!will be necessary to access the pavilion before June 10. More information can be found on Bridges’ website, bridgespottery.com.

Manorhaven updates recent trailer law Continued from Page 20 sons in any dwelling.” The proposed law would do this by limiting airborne sound in the residential district to 65 decibels between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and 50 decibels for the remaining hours. For the commercial district, the limit would be 70 decibels!between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. and 55 all other times. Exceptions for this would be made for construction activities during the week and on Saturdays; church bells; “properly equipped” motor vehicles; snowblowers; lawful athletic or rec-

reational events; activities sponsored by the schools, fire district or a village department; lawful fireworks displays; noncommercial public speaking events on public property; emergency repair work; and bus stations. Emergency signals and alarms audible for less than 15 minutes were also exempted. The board decided to table the law after agreeing that it needed refinement. “We want to keep it specific as we can, but we also know that noise level isn’t as clear as throwing out the trash, or getting a speeding ticket,” Avena said.

Clinton, Biden tout Cuomo’s progressive record Continued from Page 10 Now, the Republicans maintain a single-vote majority because of Brooklyn Democrat Simcha Felder’s decision to continue caucusing with the GOP. However, at the the convention Democrats voted to remove Felder from the party and support his challenger, Blake Morris. The District 17 seat isn’t the only seat Democrats are looking to flip. In District 7 on the North Shore of Long Island, Republican state Sen. Elaine Phillips is facing two Democratic challengers,

North Hempstead Town Councilwoman Anna Kaplan and Brad Schwartz. Nassau Democrats have endorsed Kaplan for the ticket. Nassau County Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs said the county will be ground zero in the fight to take back the Senate majority. While the Democrats are in the minority in the Senate, the party has still been able to accomplish a progressive agenda, according to Cuomo and other speakers during the convention. “Our state is a shining ex-

ample of the progress that’s possible when we have tough, experienced Democratic leaders … standing up to the onslaught of attacks from this president and Republicans in Congress,” Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate, said. “And that is exactly what [Cuomo] has done.” Cuomo said the state’s accomplishments are the antithesis to the “division, fear and cynicism” spreading across Washington.

Island Wednesday, for a round table discussion on the MS-13 gang. Trump’s rhetoric about MS13 has often been criticized on the left, most recently when he called members of the group “animals.” Some commentators have suggested that his remarks are also aimed at undocumented immigrants.

Vice President Joe Biden endorsed Cuomo for his third term as governor of New York.

mittee Chairman Tom Perez said the country is named the United States of America !– not the divided states of America. Biden asked the Democrats in the room to think back to what made them decide to join the party. What it comes down to, Biden said, is believing that everyone should be treated fairly. It’s the shared belief that ordinary people could do extraordinary things, Biden added. “I kid and say if there were a constitutional convention held again today and the representatives were from congressional parties, and there was a motion saying no one could vote in America unless they have a college degree, my guess is that the Republicans would vote for it,” Biden said. “They don’t have much faith in the regular people.” The notion that voters have to pick between progressive values and practical needs is a “phony debate,” Biden said. Nobody has to choose between a party and a soul, Biden said. As Jacobs put it, “everything you need to know about politics you learned when you learned to drive.” “If you want to go forward you put it into D,” Jacobs said. “If you want to go backwards, you put it into R.”
