Illegal dumping operation hits Heights School

B U D G E T TA L K

Material was placed on campus last June, guarded, declared safe

BY T E R I W EST A pile of recycled concrete was deposited on Roslyn’s Heights School campus last summer, and in November those responsible were among 30 individuals and companies indicted as part of a sweeping response to illegal dumping on Long Island.

The pile at the school on Willow Street was immediately placed under 24-hour surveillance until it was tested and determined to be nonhazardous, said Barry Edelson, the district’s director of community relations.

Investigators came quickly to the scene, he said. They requested that the district not make a public announcement about the incident because it was part of an ongoing investigation. That investigation, “Operation Pay Dirt,” eventually resulted in a 130-count indictment in Suffolk County.

The district cooperated, though had the materials been

toxic it would have informed the community early on, Edelson said.

The incident occurred June 11 when James Williams brought the load from Queens to Roslyn, according to the indictment. Frank Rotondo provided a truck from the company Modern Leasing.

The Roslyn school district had the pile covered with a tarp and cordoned off, Superintendent Allison Brown wrote in a notice to the community last month.

It then hired an environmental company to test the material and air. The school’s general contractor paid for the efforts, Brown said.

The damage exceeded $1,500, according to the indictment.

The Department of Environmental Conservation asked the district to leave the pile but allowed it to be removed in July, Brown wrote.

Rotondo was charged with criminal mischief, conspiracy and operating a solid waste manageContinued on Page 63

Roslyn, Manhasset Bow Tie theaters movie-less

BY T E R I W EST Movies in Manhasset and Roslyn came to a standstill as the two Bow Tie theaters closed, at least temporarily, last week.

The two locations were sold last November to Cinemas GMC LLC, a single-use company formed for the purchase.

Bow Tie’s leases for the theaters do not expire until March 2022, broker Jeff Kintzer told

Blank Slate Media at the time of the sale.

Inisfada back on market for $110M Development applications still on file

Cleaners, Sotto Luna to leave Willis center Building upgrades coming under new ownership

BY T E R I W EST Nestled in a shopping center on Willis Avenue for more than two decades, Joven Cleaners, Sotto Luna and Olive Market, all family businesses, became embedded in the Roslyn community.

But the building they reside in gradually deteriorated during those decades under the previous ownership, which also had most tenants underpaying and without leases, said Louis Silverman, who bought the property last year with Adam Mann.

The two Town of North Hempstead residents had a vision of a Hampton-style modern shopping center. Now, as renovations ramp up, Joven Cleaners and Sotto Luna are heading out.

Olive Market’s owners are still in discussions with the property owners in the hopes of staying, said owner Jack, who declined to provide his last name.

“It’s bittersweet,” said Cathy Lanza, who owns Sotto Luna.

“We’ve been there a long time and we have a nice clientele and obviously we’re comfortable in the shopping center, but I’m happy we have a place to go and a change to make. It’s not my choice but it’s working out.”

Her restaurant will serve its final meals at 367 Willis Ave. on Mother’s Day. It will reopen in a standalone building at 875 Willis Ave., formerly home to Mitch & Toni’s American Bistro, later in May. Joven Cleaners has already begun moving into a space a mile away on IU Willets Road.

Their neighbors CVS and Starbucks will stay and remain open throughout construction.

To their left will be a boutique fitness center and a fastcasual dining destination, hinted Silverman, who said he is not at liberty to disclose the new tenants. They should be in by the end of the year.

New tenants to the right of Starbucks have yet to be confirmed.

Silverman and Mann, who work for separate real estate companies, bought the property with recognition of its potential, Silverman said. They have been shopping there for decades, they said; Silverman lives in Old Westbury and Mann lives in North Hills.

“It was an amazing center many years ago,” Silverman said. “We wanted to take on the mission to make it a world-class shopping center, which it should be.”

They purchased the building in May and began with renovations to the left side, which had been vacant for at least 10 years, he said.

There was an outpouring of responses from interested businesses when spaces went on the market under the new ownership, said Doug Weinstein, the leasing agent for the property.

Some had wanted to move in for years but had been unable to successfully negotiate with the previous owners, he said.

The 30-acre location formerly home to the St. Ignatius Jesuit retreat house, or Inisfada, is back on the market for $110 million.

Manhasset Bay Group currently owns the space in the Village of North Hills, which it purchased in 2013 for $36.5 million. The developer has an application on file with the village to create a subdivision with 46 single-family homes.

Manhasset Bay Group has not yet moved to gain final approval, North Hills Mayor Marvin Natiss said.

Those plans would be passed on to the new owner, allowing the project to be completed if the village approves it, Natiss said. Should the applicant push it, the plans would likely be approved, he said.

“Once they own it, they’re free to do whatever they see fit,” said listing agent Jason Friedman with Daniel Gale Sotheby’s International Realty.

“They could go in a different direction with it. They could go in the direction that it’s going in. If some very wealthy person

wanted to, they could buy it and build one house.”

The property on Searingtown Road went on the market April 2 and there is already interest from domestic and international parties, Friedman said.

Plans for the development of the property into a gated community date to 2014, when Manhasset Bay Group submitted plans to the Village of North Hills to create the “Manhasset Crest” subdivision.

After purchasing the property, the group demolished the run-down retreat house constructed between 1916 and 1920 despite protests from local civic and historical groups.

The last communication between the owner and the village took place a couple of months ago, the mayor said.

Based on the previously submitted application, private properties on the site would range in size from about onehalf to one acre and some would have private pools, the listing says. How much they would list for depends on how much goes into building them, Friedman said.

Roslyn schools adopt $113.19M budget Tax levy is $1.84M higher than current budget’s with $500K subsidy from fund balance

BY T E R I W EST The Roslyn Board of Education adopted a $113.19 million 2019-20 budget Tuesday after a discussion of revenue, the tax levy and incoming playgrounds at the Harbor Hill and Heights schools.

The budget, up for a public vote on May 21, has a $95 million tax levy, which is $1.84 million higher than this year’s.

Of the $95 million, 81.3 percent would come from homeowners, which is the same proportion as last year, though that is subject to change, said Joseph Dragone, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and administration.

The adopted budget is 2.94 percent higher than last year’s.

Much of that increase – $500,000 – comes from this year’s fund balance. Last year the district only dedicated $110,000 of its fund balance to the new budget.

The district is projected to end the current fiscal year with a positive fund balance of $4.7 million, Dragone said.

“We’re proposing that

The Roslyn Board of Education at Tuesday’s meeting. $500,000 of it be used to reduce the tax levy,” he said. “The remaining $4.2 million we can put in reserves.”

The board is seeking to place $2 million in the district’s 2015 capital reserve and the remaining $2.2 million in the 2017 capital reserve.

The new playgrounds at Harbor Hill School and Heights School would be installed in the fall or spring if the budget passes, said Superintendent Allison Brown.

“If the community supports this, we’re off to the races,” she said.

cludes a “ninja warrior”-esque section with climbing apparatuses, said architect Curt Coronato, who presented the plans to the board.

The section for younger students includes equipment designed for children in the kindergarten and first-grade age range, he said. Board President Meryl Waxman Ben-Levy said she was concerned that it would push students who are in the transitional third-grade year to the playground intended for older students.

“If you build something too babyish you’re going to accelerate the time that the first, second and third grade are going PHOTO BY TERI WEST to want to get on the fourth- and fifth-graders’ playground, and then the two separate areas will not serve their purpose,” she As currently planned, the said.

O. Westbury seeks deer hunting permit Board passes $15.18M budget for next fiscal year with anticipated deficit of less than $300K

BY T E R I W EST There are deer in Old Westbury – too many, according to the village’s Board of Trustees.

To respond, the village is considering hunting them.

On Monday, the board voted unanimously to approve the filing of an application for a deer damage permit with the state Department of Environmental Conservation. It also introduced a related local law that would more strictly regulate the use of guns and other weapons in Old Westbury. That includes bows and arrows, said the village’s attorney, Michael Sahn.

At the beginning of the meeting, the board unanimously passed its $15.18 million budget for the 2019-20 fiscal year.

Deer damage permits allow recreational deer hunting for purposes of population control, according to the Department of Environmental Conservation’s website. They are applicable if deer are affecting aspects of the community such as biodiversity or human safety.

age permit usually takes place outside of open hunting seasons, the website says.

“Because we are aware that private property owners may seek that type of permit we want to tighten up the restrictions in the village code about the discharge of firearms,” Sahn said.

The amended code would require residents to provide

Marina Chimerine said.

“We’re looking to protect the safety and well being of our residents,” she said. “There’s tremendous deer populations all over the island and we seem to be having more and more in our area and we need to take care of this issue.”

The board also passed the 2019-20 budget and approved

applications for renovations at two religious institutions: Old Westbury Hebrew Congregation and Life Lutheran Church.

With total expenditures in the new budget set at $15.18 million, it is 0.42 percent higher than the current budget.

Village taxes are increasing by approximately 1.9 percent for homeowners, Trustee Edward Novick said.

The budget leaves the village at an approximately $1 million deficit for the second consecutive year. However, the village is anticipating ending the 2018-19 fiscal year with a $790,000 surplus, which would be applied to that deficit, reducing it to less than $300,000. The village was projecting a $2 million deficit when entering the current fiscal year, Novick said.

Some factors that contributed to revenue growth included greater activity in the Village Court, greater activity with the Building Department, short-term investments and administrative efficiency.

County GOP against congestion pricing Peter King calls plan intended to boost NYC subways an ‘assault’ against suburban voters

BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Fifty Nassau County Republicans took a stand against congestion pricing at a news conference in Westbury last Thursday.

They argue that the plan to tax drivers who travel into the central business district of Manhattan, defined as south of 60th Street, will adversely affect commuters from the suburbs.

U.S. Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford) called it “a direct assault on the suburban voters and the people of Nassau and Suffolk County.”

He said he is not sure why the governor believes that only rich people drive into Manhattan. He said that this will have a direct impact on middle-income people who have to drive into Manhattan for work or other reasons, such as the hospital.

State Assemblywoman Melissa Miller (R-Atlantic Beach) said as the parent of a medically frail child she often has to take him into lower Manhattan for

to accrue $15 billion that will be dedicated to funding MTA capital projects.

Ten percent of the funds from congestion pricing and other tax plans are expected to be allocated to the Long Island Rail Road, which is projected to be about $2.5 billion.

Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) questioned whether the Long Island Rail Road will ever receive the funds from the tolling plan.

“I’m sure that Long Island Rail Road will get that 10 percent, just like our schools get all that money from the lottery,” he said.

$2M for addiction services: Kaplan State budget includes money to combat opioid, substance abuse epidemic in Nassau

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

The New York state budget includes nearly $2 million to fund initiatives in Nassau County combating an opioid and substance abuse epidemic, including an array of recovery services, state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said last Friday.

Officials said the budget provides $350,000 in funding for a Thrive Recovery Center in Westbury, $600,000 for peer-topeer programs and $1 million for Recovery High School programming.

Also included in the budget are a higher cap on co-payments and a behavioral health insurance requirement allowing people seeking recovery to get 28-day substance use disorder treatment programs without prior authorization.

“The crisis of addiction affects every family, school, and community on Long Island,“ Kaplan said, “and if we are going to win the fight against substance abuse disorder, we need to do

PHOTO BY JESSICA PARKS

State Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) spoke of the budget initiatives that benefit Long Islanders. everything we can to get people into long-term recovery.”

Recovery high schools are secondary schools designed specifically for students recovering from addiction, according to the Association of Recovery Schools.

“The Recovery High School

model is basically an alternative education program for those who want to pursue education in a substance-free environment with other kids like them,” Sean Collins, a Kaplan spokesman, said.

The Family and Children’s

Association, a Mineola-based nonprofit organization offering addiction prevention, treatment and recovery programs, will be running the Thrive Recovery Center starting in May. The association also runs the Thrive Recovery Center in

Hauppauge.

Much of the $600,000, meanwhile, will go toward the association’s peer-to-peer programming, Collins said. This involves embedding individuals, who are currently in long-term recovery, in emergency rooms and medical care facilities so they can help others seek further treatment and prevent relapses.

“As Long Island continues to address an historic opioid crisis, we are fortunate to have a NYS Senate delegation that understands the importance of prevention, access to treatment and recovery,” Dr. Jeffrey Reynolds, the president and CEO of Family and Children’s Association, said in a statement.

The# New York State Department of Health# estimated that#607 people on Long Island died from opioid overdoses in 2017 – 189 in Nassau County and 418 in Suffolk.

Drug overdoses killed more than 70,000 Americans in 2017, data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows.

$200K grant sought to combat zombie homes

BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN North Hempstead town council members approved applying for a $200,000 grant to support a fight against “zombie homes” last Tuesday.

The grant falls under the Zombie 2.0 program, a $9 million state initiative seeking to address vacant and abandoned houses in New York, also known as zombie homes. The Local Initiatives Support Corporation, or LISC, is administering the funding.

According to the town’s resolution, the money would go toward a variety of initiatives to reduce zombie homes. Among them are supporting the zombie prevention task force, the town’s housing quality improvement coordinator, and outreach for identifying and dealing with zombie homes in town.

A town spokeswoman said that 158 homes have been identified as “‘potentially vacant” in the town, being considered unsafe, unkempt or as having delinquent mortgages.

“Municipalities all over the state are reducing their number of vacant homes, energizing their local economies and improving their long-term quality of life,” Helene Caloir, the director of LISC’s New

York Stabilization Fund, said in a news release.

If the town were to win the $200,000 award, it would build on a $159,000 grant from the state attorney general’s office. That funding is being used to form a vacant properties database and work with a coordinator for the town’s Housing Quality Improvement Program.

Nassau home prices Trial of ex Mangano up, sales down v. 2018 deputy set for June 3

BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Home sales in Nassau County slowed by 8.8 percent to 859 transactions in March from the same month the prior year, when 942 homes were sold, according to the monthly real estate report from Multiple Listing Service of Long Island.

The sold home count in March, however, marked a 10 percent increase from the 779 homes sold in February.

Despite the decline in home sales from March 2018, the number of pending home sales last month rose by 1.4 percent from 1,173 homes in March last year to 1,189 homes last month.

The median price of March’s sold homes was recorded as $517,000, which reflected a 3.4 percent jump from last March, when the median price was $500,000.

March’s median sold home price was also an improvement from February’s median price of $505,000.

The $525,000 median price for March’s pending home sales is the same as the price recorded for March 2018.

When looking at Nassau County’s home sale trends over the past two years, the pattern indicates that the number of sold homes slowly climbs through the spring until it peaks in the summer months.

House hunters in Nassau County had a selection of 5,392 homes in the month of March. If the search expanded to include Queens and Suffolk counties, there were 16,535 homes to choose from.

The Long Island housing inventory in March reflected a 14.6 percent increase from March 2018, when there were 14,432 homes on the market.

Long Island’s median sale price, which also includes statistics for Queens, hit $460,000 in March, a 4.6 percent increase from March 2018 when the median sale price was $440,000.

Neighboring Suffolk County had the majority of Long Island’s home sales with 1,081, and 585 homes were sold in Queens.

Suffolk County’s median home sale price of $372,875 was almost 28 percent less than Nassau County’s. Suffolk County’s median sale price in March, however, does show a 6 percent increase from the same month the year prior when the median price was $352,000.

Queens’ median price for closed home sales is listed in the report as $557,000, which is about 7.7 percent higher than Nassau County’s median sale price. The median sale price for March in Queens represented a 2.2 percent increase from March 2018, when the sale price was $545,000.

The mind behind modern Roslyn

Guy Ladd Frost, architect, preservationist largely responsible for restoring village, dies

BY S H E L BY TA L C O T T Guy Ladd Frost, an architect, preservationist and motor sports enthusiast who dedicated a quarter century to helping save and restore historic Roslyn buildings, died on March 14 at the age of 85.

Frost had Lewy body dementia since 2012 and died at the Sands Point Center for Health and Rehabilitation in Port Washington. He had been living in the facility for the past year after suffering a stroke.

Frost moved to Roslyn in 1965 with his wife, Donna.

They became good friends with Dr. Roger Gerry, a preservationist, oral surgeon and Navy captain. Frost and Gerry teamed up for the next 25 years to restore structures in Roslyn, including some of the most well-known buildings in town. His architectural drawings and papers are now in the village’s Bryant Library.

“Basically, Roger Gerry met my dad and said to him, ‘you’re

Guy Frost worked to help restore structures in Roslyn and preserve the memory of racing on Long Island Left: Guy Frost as he traveled by boat from Australia to San Francisco, 1941 going to be my prodigy and we will restore this whole village,'” said daughter Jessica Frost.

During these years, Frost helped to restore over 50 structures in Roslyn’s Historic District.

Perhaps the most iconic of his restorations is the Ellen E. Ward Clock Tower at the intersection of Roslyn Road and Old Northern Boulevard. Built in1895, it is not the oldest building in Roslyn

but is certainly the most well known.

In 2015, Frost was honored by the Village of Roslyn with a plaque for his aesthetic contributions to the historic district. In

addition to the clock tower, Frost had an architectural firm which provided layouts for the Warren Wilky House, the Zwerdling residence, the Willis Avenue Brick Firehouse and more.

The plaque also served to commemorate Frost’s work on designing the homes on Valentine Lane.

Born Jan. 17, 1934, in Brooklyn to Rose and Stanley Frost, Guy Frost was a world traveler since birth. His father was a traveling salesman, and Frost lived in New Zealand and Australia in his early years. Frost took a boat from Australia to San Francisco in 1941 with his family, arriving in America on New Year’s Day. At the age of 16, he left home to travel the country, sending money home to his mother in North Dakota after his father’s death.

Frost later served as an aircraft controller in the U.S. Air Force in Japan and Montauk from 1954 to 1958. His time in Montauk resulted in his love for Long Island, which would last Continued on Page 64

Add it to the 25-year-old’s resume Legislator Josh Lafazan to instruct LIU course this fall on running for office as a millennial

BY T E R I W EST

Next fall, some Long Island University students will have a professor who is only a few years their senior. That professor also happens to be a sitting county legislator.

Josh Lafazan, who won a seat on the Nassau County Legislature in 2017 at age 23, has created a course that will teach millennials the skills needed to do the same thing: run a campaign for public office at the local level.

During the 15-week course students will simulate a campaign, starting with the petitioning process and ending with a victory or concession speech.

“I didn’t want this to be a typical poli sci class,” Lafazan said.

Millennials are too underrepresented in local government, a space where they can really make a difference, the legislator said, and he created the course partly out of frustration that it did not exist.

During his time at Cornell University and Harvard, there were no courses offered spe-

Millennials Can Navigate the 21st Century Political Minefield and Win!” “I have young candidates from all over the country who say they read this book and glean inspiration from it,” he said.

That book is the basis for his course.

He plans to teach his students the basics, including which positions are available at the local level, as well as skills that intersect with campaigning, such as news literacy.

A slate of guest speakers includes Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder and New York Comptroller Tom DiNapoli.

Students will deliver a campaign speech every week. For extra credit, they can write a letter to their member of Congress.

“When millennials win, we PHOTO BY AMELIA CAMURATI all win,” Lafazan said. “When millennials get elected to public Nassau County Legislator Josh Lafazan will add professor office, good things happen.”

Since joining the Legislature, to his list of titles starting this fall.

Lafazan has seen a few bills he cifically about how to run as a Syosset Board of Education at has introduced come to fruition, young person, Lafazan said. age 18, Lafazan wrote a book including a substance abuse hot After being elected to the called “Political Gladiators: How line, a bullying prevention web-

site and a requirement for American Sign Language interpreters at emergency news conferences.

He recently introduced bills for Nassau County to opt out of recreational marijuana and take on veterans’ homelessness.

His course will be offered through Long Island University’s School of Business. Much of it will focus on the entrepreneurial aspects of campaigns, which Lafazan compared to startups.

Even students who don’t plan to seek political office will gain valuable skills from the class, he said.

To prepare for his first stint as a professor, Lafazan said he has been reaching out to his mentors and former professors.

Having a sitting legislator as a professor will hopefully inspire his students, he said.

“I believe in my heart that as young people on a national scale, we need to start focusing on local office,” the legislator said. “It’s very exciting to talk about national issues and to see national figures. At the local level is where the work gets done.”

Hempstead GOP’s very bad example

R

epublicans on the Hempstead Town Board added a new chapter totheir ongoing master class in how political machines operate and why they are bad for taxpayers.

First, they filed a notice of appeal to a court ruling that voided a no-layoff clause they had approved to the town’s collective bargaining agreement.

The court ruling was the result of a lawsuit filed by Laura Gillen, the first Democrat to be elected town supervisor in more than 100 years in 2017.

Gillen had filed suit against the no-layoff clause and 197 personnel transfers passed by the board in December 2017, one month before she took office.

In his last days in office, outgoing Town Supervisor Anthony Santino and the town board had handed out $4 million in raises to 197 employees and moved his top political allies to permanent positions in the next administration.

Gillen said the lame-duck board’s vote was meant to protect patronage employees and hamstring her authority. She was, of course, right.

A Nassau County Supreme Court Judge found in March that Santino and Councilman Antony D’Esposito should have recused themselves from the December 2017 vote on the no-layoff clause because – surprise, surprise – they have relatives who worked for the town.

And without their votes, the measure – which was approved 4-3 – would not have passed.

So after approving $4 million in raises the town could not afford two years ago and losing a court

case that would have prevented employees from being laid off in a financial crisis, the Hempstead board threatened to spend taxpayer money to challenge the court ruling.

This is a perfect example of how political machines work.

Taxpayer money is used to give jobs to political supporters regardless of their qualifications.

In turn, the political supporters and their families vote for the party’s candidates, hand out their campaign literature and man the phone banks.

Great for the party, bad for the taxpayer. Don’t think so? Time to check your next tax bill.

But the Republicans on the Hempstead Town Council were not done with serving their shaky political machine.

They also put forward a resolution last week to appoint Thomas Muscarella, a party insider and declared candidate to fill the 2nd Council District seat in the November election. On Tuesday, they swore him in.

Muscarella, 59, of Garden City, is vice president of the Plainview-based Archer Associates Insurance. One of his brothers, Joseph Muscarella, is an Oyster Bay Town councilman, while another brother, Vincent Muscarella, is a Nassau County legislator. Both are Republicans. Small world.

The seat Thomas Muscarella is seeking was recently vacated when the Republican incumbent, Edward Ambrosino, pleaded guilty to a single count of tax evasion on his personal federal income tax as part of a plea deal, in which he agreed to repay $250,000 in back federal taxes.

He was charged in April 2017 with what prosecutors said was a complex scheme in which he siphoned off money that his law firm was entitled to.

The charges were one count of wire fraud, four counts of federal tax evasion for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013; three counts of making and subscribing false corporate tax returns for the years 2011, 2012 and 2013; and one count of failing to file tax documents.

The appointment of Muscarella was standing operating procedure for Hempstead Republicans.

As Gillen pointed out, every Republican official in the town, including board members and the tax collector, was initially appointed – not elected – to their seat.

“This proposal is unquestionably a move to unfairly influence the outcome of the November election. It grants unearned incumbency to the Republican machine’s declared candidate and disenfran-

chises every resident in the district from choosing their own representative. It’s disgraceful and unAmerican,” Gillen said.

That sounds about right.

But the influence of the Hempstead Republican machine goes well beyond Hempstead.

As the largest of the three towns in Nassau County, with a greater population than North Hempstead and Oyster Bay combined, Hempstead has always played an outsized role in Nassau County politics.

The Hempstead machine helped elect Al D’Amato, a former Hempstead town supervisor, to the U.S. Senate.

The Hempstead machine also helped elect Dean Skelos, a Rockville Centre Republican, first to the state Assembly and then the state Senate, where he became majority leader.

Skelos and his son were convicted not once but twice of political corruption, in part, for his

The man Skelos contacted for the business, former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, a Republican, was also recently convicted of political corruption along with his wife on separate charges.

Rob Walker, Mangano’s deputy, will go on trial later this year on still other political corruption charges.

Walker’s mother, Rose Marie Walker, continues to serve as a county legislator for District 17.

This apparently is what passes for family values among Republicans in Nassau and goes a long in explaining how one of the wealthiest counties in the state constantly struggles to balance its budget.

Whether legal or not, the behavior of Hempstead Republicans is corrupt.

It is up to voters to let them know that this is no longer acceptable anywhere in Nassau County.

KREMER’S CORNER

Dems still hunting for a real contender

T

here are so many announced Democratic candidates for president I confess that I have lost count. I have been an observer of too many elections to admit to, but I find this one the most frightening and challenging one in my lifetime. On my side of the political world, I have never seen so much passion to defeat a political incumbent as we are currently experiencing.

President Nixon was deplorable and George H.W. Bush was frightening, but nothing matches the feelings about the people who want to dump Donald Trump from office.

It is fair to say that the field of current candidates ranges from the very young to the very old. The youngest of the crop, Pete Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Ind., is an articulate and attractive candidate but somehow I have a hard time seeing him at a sitdown with Vladimar Putin. In the end, Buttigieg and Beto O’Rourke may cancel each other out with the youth

movement. There are a number of governors, members of Congress and non-political people, but in the end the final choice will be the person who the voters think can best run the country.

Most of the candidates have associated themselves with strong positions on healthcare, pay equity, reforming the electoral system, women’s rights and climate change. One or two are oneissue candidates, such as Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee, who is focusing on climate change only. To my surprise, none of the declared candidates has uttered a word about foreign affairs and the challenges we face around the world.

Observers of the 2012 Clinton campaign will remember her commercial asking who do you want to answer the hot line at 3 a.m. when there is an international crises? That advertisement was her way of contrasting her foreign affairs expertise with Barack Obama.

I know that our country faces

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

many domestic policy issues, but isn’t restoring our relationships with NATO countries, developing a real Middle East policy and keeping Russia out of our elections just as important? The only person who is most capable of facing those challenges is former Vice President Joe Biden, who has yet to announce whether he is running.

All of the currently announced candidates seem to be reading from a printed list

making sure that each box is marked to please some constituency. But passing some groups’ purity test is not the way to convince the voters that a particular candidate should be the chosen one. The country is anxious to anoint a person of real substance who can take on Donald Trump and send him back to his Tower and that’s the challenge to the current crop of contenders.

So for now let’s talk about the announced field. There is no question that all Americans want access to healthcare. Sen. Bernie Sanders is promoting “Medicare for All.” Some of his fellow candidates are supporting his version or some portion of it, but in my opinion “Medicare for All” is a losing issue. The voters are not stupid. In today’s climate voters are smart enough to ask who is going to pay for big promises? They will quickly learn that Sanders’ solution will cost trillions and result in massive layoffs of insurance company employees and not

every American is willing to cancel private insurance to be in a government program.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren wants to break up the tech companies. Once upon a time she wanted to break up the banks. How does the federal government break up multibillion- dollar companies, absent a dictatorship? Kamala Harris has some good proposals, including raising the national pay level for teachers, which is sorely needed. Amy Klobuchar comes across as a moderate, deep thinking mid-Westerner. Corey Booker is a good senator with some passionate ideas, but he isn’t Barack Obama. New York’s Sen. Kirsten Dems sGillibrand doesn’t sound presidential and isn’t attracting much attention.

The great irony at this current stage is that Vice President Biden leads in every poll and is not an official candidate. It may be that the longer he stays out the better off his chances will be. For now the battle lines are blurred and your guess is as good as mine.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Apocalypse without coffee? No way

E

very group prepares for Armageddon in its own way. Norway has created a vault to store the seeds of as many plants as possible.

The U.S. government holds strategic reserves of petroleum.

In Switzerland, the government has stockpiled supplies of animal feeds, rice, and sugar in case of a nuclear World War III. But here’s one thing the Swiss government has just announced it will not be stockpiling: coffee.

“Coffee has almost no calories and subsequently does not contribute, from the physiological perspective, to safeguarding nutrition,” they explained.

Not “safeguarding nutrition”? The numbskulls! Does it not occur to them that it is precisely this lack of calories that makes coffee such a priceless commodity? What else can you eat or drink that gives you even a fraction of equivalent satisfaction? (Of all the legal choices, that is.) And to have it all for

zero calories? What’s not to love? What are they thinking?

In fact, I regard this very announcement as probable cause for believing that the Swiss government is sadly in need of some caffeine, already.

This announcement is especially odd when you know that Switzerland ranks seventh in most lists of nations by their per capita consumption of coffee. The Scandinavian countries come first — Finland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark — then the Netherlands and Sweden. I’m assuming they all have a lot of fog and cold weather.

By comparison, the United States doesn’t come any higher than 22nd place on most lists — and yet, I can’t think of a single American who wouldn’t insist on coffee in their fall-out shelter.

Of course, the Swiss have many other wonderful things to stockpile. Cheese springs to mind. Also chocolate: Swiss chocolate is some of the best in the world, whether in bar form,

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side as bon-bons, or in a steaming mug of hot cocoa. But Switzerland’s achievements in the realm of chocolate should not blind them to the benefits of coffee!

There is nothing quite like coffee for jump-starting the brain. Every time I begin one of these columns, I need a freshly brewed mug of coffee. Every time I get stuck, I need one, too.

It all adds up to a lot of coffee…

which is why I am intensely grateful for the zero-calorie feature which the Swiss government is so quick to scorn.

Most military forces appreciate caffeine as an aid to preparedness.

It is true that since Switzerland is landlocked, it has no official navy. And the Swiss have managed to maintain political neutrality at least since 1815. So perhaps two centuries without hostilities have lulled them into a false sense of security. Perhaps they fail to appreciate the benefits of remaining awake, and alert to danger!

And I suspect there will be danger, whether they believe it or not. Let me put it this way: if you were in one of those surrounding countries, and you knew there were stockpiles of delicious Swiss chocolate just over the border, ripe for the taking, with nothing but sleepy guards at the door to stop you, what would be your next move?

Yep, mine too.

I foresee an entire continent of “Walking Dead” zombies, shuffling up and down the Alps to Switzerland’s mountain retreats, hoping to liberate their chocolate. Those zombies may not be fast, but they sure are persistent! (I know this from hours of involuntary exposure to my children’s stored-up episodes of “The Walking Dead”.)

And I don’t like Switzerland’s chances of repelling them, when the entire country might run out of coffee after the first 24 hours!

Then again — maybe those aren’t zombies at all. Maybe they’re just other Swiss citizens, and that’s simply what they look like when in dire need of coffee.

There’s a line attributed to the Russian-born anarchist Emma Goldman: “If I can’t dance, I don’t want your revolution.” In a somewhat similar vein, I have to say — if I can’t have coffee in my bomb shelter, you can keep your Armageddon. An apocalypse without coffee? That’s just barbaric.

Saving groundwater by rewilding

O

n an island full of residents who pride themselves on their domesticated landscaping, several Port Washington residents have begun the process of rewilding their property, or undoing domestication.

Rewilding — the act of protecting, restoring, and creating new habitats to support biological diversity where nature can take care of itself — promotes a way of living that creates greater health and well-being for humans and the ecosystems that we belong to.

This local initiative is being led by (the aptly named) ReWild, a new community organization that seeks to foster this transformation by creating “pioneer spaces” that publicly demonstrate the beauty and practicality of self-sustaining habitats.

Founded in 2017 and led by local environmentalist David Jakim, and Rusty Schmidt, president of the Long Island Native Plants Initiative, ReWild is a group of “practical gardeners within a growing movement who seek to ‘live our values’ and convince our neighbors with real-life examples.”

As an advocate for groundwater conservation — this summer will be the third year that I

will turn off my home irrigation system after the required “backflow test” — it seemed fitting that I volunteer my property as a “pioneer space.”

(In full disclosure, I moved into my home two years ago and haven’t had the time, energy or cash flow to devote to the garden, and this sounded like a free landscape architect assessment. No brainer.)

And so two weeks ago, my rewilding process began with a visit from Rusty, landscape ecologist extraordinaire, who came to my home with a color aerial photo of my property (featuring a topographical map overlay).

Rusty asked if I had any wishes or visions for the land, and I expressed interest in building a composting area and perhaps a space for a small garden. Enter the keyhole garden idea!

(Please look it up online — it’s both incredible and beautiful.)

Together we slowly walked around my yard while he effortlessly rattled off the names of each green item living on my land. He gave both the botanical and common name for each plant, followed by whether or not the plant was native to Long Island.

To my great surprise, I had no native species of plants on

FRANCINE FURTADO Earth Matters my property. As if that wasn’t crushing enough, some plants were invasive* species, which he informed me had to be pulled from the ground.

How can that be? No native plants? Come on! Sensing my grief and embarrassment, Rusty assured me I was not alone, as almost all of the homes on Long Island have no more than 5 percent of native plants.

Native plants are those that occur naturally in a region in which they evolved. They are the ecological basis upon which life depends, including birds and people. Without them and the insects that co-evolved with them, local birds cannot survive.

For example, research has shown that more than 500 spe-

cies of caterpillars call native oak trees home. Conversely, ginkgos, a commonly planted landscape tree from Asia, host only five species of caterpillars.

When it takes over 6,000 caterpillars to raise one brood of chickadees, that is a significant difference. (Also of note, when giving me names of native species of trees to plant in my yard, Rusty would say the botanical name and then add, “Yes, that tree can handle the pollution.”

And so I keep asking my family when we can move to the Pacific Northwest.)

By planting native species, you will also: Save water: According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 30 percent to 60 percent of freshwater in American cities is used for watering lawns.

Native plants have adapted to thrive in their regional landscape, without added water or nutrients.

Use fewer chemicals: Less lawn mowing, fertilizing, and pesticide application means cleaner air and water. Homeowners apply nearly 80 million pounds of pesticides to lawns in the United States each year.

During storms, lawn chemicals can be carried by runoff and wind, contaminating our local

waterways. Native plants are often hardier than non-native ornamentals and thrive without pesticides or fertilizers.

Reduce maintenance: Less lawn means less time mowing, weed-whacking, and edging.

Landscaping with native plants isn’t maintenance free — invasive weed species are an ongoing issue in any garden. But with careful landscape planning and plant selection, you can create a garden space that minimizes the ongoing input of time and money. That’s a mighty nice change from constant lawn care. And when the mower’s tucked away, you can hear bird song in the silence that reigns.

Create beauty: What does a beautiful outdoor space look like? What does it mean to have a “well-kept” yard? Our standards of green beauty and orderliness need shifting. Our manicured plantings are an aesthetic that not only largely excludes birds and other wildlife, but has a hefty carbon footprint.

Most importantly, while we have all been led to rewilding for different reasons, this movement is a means of coming together in a desire to rewild our homes, our communities, and ourselves.

KIDS F IRST

How to ‘Be Best’ in contentious times

R

egardless of where you stand in the political spectrum, we can pretty much all agree that these are highly divisive times in our culture.

It often seems that pundits, politicians and people on all sides of the various issues of our day have lost their ability to disagree respectfully. And kids of all ages aren’t immune to absorbing the notion that speaking loudly, aggressively and in a denigrating manner is somehow perfectly acceptable.

In such an environment, how do we teach our kids to approach disagreements without resorting to bullying words and behaviors?

One initiative designed to tackle this problem is First Lady Melania Trump’s “Be Best” campaign. As she states on her website, “It is our responsibility as

adults to educate and reinforce to children that when they are using their voices — whether verbally or online they must choose their words wisely and speak with respect and compassion. It remains our generation’s moral imperative to take responsibility and help our children manage the many issues they are facing today, including encouraging positive social, emotional and physical habits.”

Can we really expect political figures to serve as models who live up to the First Lady’s “Be Best” ideal?

In our own backyard, there seems to be a never-ending parade of perp walks, criminal trials, convictions, fines, prison sentences and incarcerations of elected officials for taking bribes, bid-rigging, obstructing justice and more.

Brokering official favors for

personal benefit seems to be part of the culture in many political clubhouses, executive offices and legislative chambers in Long Island and New York state.

We even see the breakdown in the recent college admission scams, where parents sought preferential treatment for their children through what used to

be called payola.

The ideals that Mrs. Trump wants to advance will be more likely to gain traction at home, in school houses, fields of play and or houses of worship. Yet, on occasion an inspiring political leader, super athlete or charismatic musician or actress will touch one’s heart by exuding compassion as they champion meaningful causes such as mental health or drug prevention.

They deserve our respect and appreciation for living out the message that people should care about others, not just talking the talk but walking the walk.

Some might say that “Be Best” is an easy phrase to poke fun at, just as “just say no” was during Nancy Reagan’s tenure as first lady, when she launched an anti-drug campaign.

But, as deeply divided as we are becoming as a nation, “Be

Best” is a good message. Just because it is a bit corny and not embodied in Washington, D.C., and statehouses across the nation, we should not let our cynicism dilute the message or allow our behavior to dilute the ideal.

To do so would be to turn our back on our kids. If these are times in which we just cannot be best, maybe we can at least strive to be better.

A VET’S VIEW

Roslyn nonprofit helping veterans

I

n just a little more than a year and a half, the Roslyn-based nonprofit Here to Help Military and Families has provided free counseling for about 40 post-9/11 veterans and their families. It also run three workshop retreats for 40 female veterans.

The group is an offshoot of a previous nonprofit,The Soldiers Project. It relies on referrals and keeps sessions confidential, so there is no paper trail. On April 13, 16 of Here to Help’s volunteer clinicians gathered at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock for presentations by Susan Sullivan and John McDonagh about techniques being used to treat veterans and others suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Here to Help President Laurie Sloane said, “Over the next two years, I hope we can service 100 veterans and family members, and I hope we can bring programs like this to the community and agencies and bring more awareness to the public.”

Nurse practitioner Sullivan, cocoordinator of the Long Island Trauma Recovery Network, said she uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy in treating veterans.

According to the website www.

trrhelp.org, the therapy involves directing a client’s eye movement with hand gestures with the aim of having he or she focus on the external stimuli, so the client “can remain grounded in the present and remembers rather than relives the past.”

Sullivan said having experienced a traumatic event causes a person to “get stuck and become mal-adaptive, have negative thoughts and uncomfortable feelings. EMDR therapy allows whatever is stuck to be experienced in a more adaptive way, a positive feeling state.”

Many veterans have been traumatized by the death or injury of a friend or by something they did or failed to report that goes against their own moral code. Sullivan said therapists should work to convince a client to acknowledge shame because “if you don’t talk about shame, you can’t deal with it.”

She encouraged attendees to help clients reduce the feeling of shame by leading them to feel good about other aspects of their lives such as relationships, spirituality or mastery of a job, a situation or a hobby.

Sullivan said she encourages clients to breathe deeply and focus on the elements — Earth, air, wa-

ter and fire — to reduce stress.

She says grounding in the present moment, the simple act of having two feet on the floor, can help a client feel safe. Likewise, she said, breathing and centering helps, as does creating saliva in the mouth. She urges a client to close eyes, imagine a soothing place in nature and allow a feeling of comfort to spread through their body. She also urges clients to interlock thumbs with palms on their chests and pat themselves “so processing of traumatic memories can take place.”

“You want your clients to leave in a less stressful frame of mind,” Sullivan said, feeling calm and OK.” She said the long-term

goal is a “trait change” where the memory of the traumatic event no longer is a trigger for discomfort. Therapy can be long-term, and can begin by discussing good memories rather than targeting traumatic events – to establish trust. She said she sometimes will ask a client to put negative thoughts figuratively in one hand and positive thoughts in the other and urge him or her to concentrate on the hand with the positive thoughts, giving it more strength. She also urges patients to make a memory smaller in their minds, or put it in a box, or make it black and white instead of in color.

Private practice psychologist McDonagh talked about “what goes wrong in the brain when trauma happens, adding “chronic stress does a number on the effectiveness of the brain.” He cited studies that say the prefrontal cortex of the brain becomes less dense after severe stress, the amygdala sends out distress signals and the hippocampus loses cells.

“We become conditioned to fear being in the situation [that sparked the trauma],” he said.

“Our memory becomes fractionalized. People have been known to gradually remember details. It’s all a giant jigsaw

puzzle.” He said mindfulness — using breathing techniques to gain focus and reduce distraction — has been shown to help in treating PTSD sufferers.

McDonagh said studies show people with high heart rate variability tend to be more resilient, and meditation uses guided imagery to increases heart rate variability and ward off PTSD symptoms. He said equine therapy and use of a service dog have helped some veterans develop a feeling of being in control as an antidote to triggers which can spark bad memories and loss of control.

Attendees at the workshop came away with some techniques they can use in treating veterans.

Officials of Here to Help said they plan to appear at veterans events leading up to Memorial Day to spread the word about themselves. “We’re thrilled,” the nonprofit’s vice president, Linda Caginalp, said, “that the community has accepted us, trusted us and given us so much support.”

VIEW POINT

Trump clueless on value of immigrants

P

resident Trump has used the power and wealth of this country to run roughshod over the rest of the world. It is not power and wealth he created (he didn’t build that), it is what he inherited. His trade war has caused economic harm not just to the Midwest and American producers, but weakened the economy of other countries, unleashing political instability.

His complete ignorance of economics — from how the Federal Reserve works, to what a trade deficit is, to the flippant way he shut down government and now threatens to shut the southern border entirely — derails the economy. He doesn’t understand the economic contribution that the social safety net — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP and food stamps — plays. The government promoting affordable day

care, as every other industrialized country does, is not a handout but an investment, with every $1 spent returning $11 over the course of a child’s career.

And so we come to immigration. Trump doesn’t just want to stop illegal immigration, but legal migration, including barring refugees, asylum-seekers and halting what he calls “chain migration.” Wasn’t that Muslim Travel Ban supposed to be temporary, an emergency (otherwise unconstitutional) remedy to give the administration time to make the vetting process more effective (which it already was?).

But now we come to the actual economic value of immigration. Trump only likes to present undocumented workers who are exploited with below-minimum wages and even screwed out of their earnings altogether (Trump knows something about

KAREN RUBIN View Point

that). He also suggests that immigrants are taking jobs that Americans would otherwise do, but that has been debunked.

New American Economy, a bipartisan research and immigration advocacy organization, just launched this year’s edition of Map the Impact, an interactive map that quantifies

immigrant contributions at the national, state, city, and congressional district levels, and across industries. Map the Impact shows the latest data from the 2017 American Communities Survey on immigrant tax contributions, spending power, entrepreneurship, demographics, voting power, and more.

Key findings (see maptheimpact.org) include: • In 2017 alone, households led by immigrants earned $1.5 trillion in total income and contributed $405 billion in tax revenues to federal, state, and local governments, leaving them with $1.1 trillion in spending power.

• About 3.2 million immigrants ran their own businesses, making up one in every five entrepreneurs in the country.

• Immigrant-owned businesses employed almost 8 million American workers and generated $1.3 trillion in total sales.

• Immigrants contributed to 28 percent of the population growth in the United States between 2016 and 2017.

• Between 2016 and 2017, the number of immigrant homeowners grew by 4.6 percent, from 9.1 million to 9.5 million.

“This data shows the central role immigrants play in every state in the union as workers, consumers, entrepreneurs, and homeowners,” said John Feinblatt, president of New American Economy. “The findings show that immigration creates an economic opportunity — creating jobs, filling workforce gaps, and helping communities thrive.”

This year’s Map the Impact features new analysis showing how TPS holders and DACA recipients are especially important contributors to the U.S. economy, finding that: Continued on Page 60

FROM THE DESK OF TOM SUOZZI

GOP tax bill for corporations, wealthy

M

onday was Tax Day, and despite the President’s boasts to the contrary, recent polls from NBC, Wall Street Journal and Reuters show that most Americans do not believe they have benefitted from the GOP tax bill. Why? There are three reasons: The GOP’s preoccupation with pleasing their base is clearly delineated by a report released by the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, which states that about twice as many of the largest U.S. companies reported they did not owe taxes in 2018 compared with previous years.

Mega-corporations like Amazon, Netflix, Chevron and Eli Lilly and Co., paid no federal income tax whatsoever. Zero.

Nada. Nothing. These companies were able to zero out their federal income taxes on $79 billion in U.S. pretax income. The Tax Bill cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent down to 21 percent.

The tax bill also cut the top tax rate for America’s super-rich from 39.6 percent to 37 percent.

Does anyone believe that the

richest Americans really need the most help? At the same time, the Congressional Budget Office has projected that the GOP’s signature tax law will increase the national debt by $1.9 trillion over the next 10 years.

One effort to help average Americans was to simplify the tax code and reform the Internal Revenue Service. Whatever happened to that much-touted “postcard-size” 1040 form that the President and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin promised last June? In fact, they made the tax forms more complicated, not simpler.

Imagine my surprise when I heard from the taxpayer advocate in February, that there has been a 200 percent increase in filing errors this year. To make matters worse, when taxpayers sought assistance from the IRS hotline, only answered 17 percent of the calls were answered with an average wait time of 18 minutes.

Finally, in a bid to make up the difference from lowering the tax rate of corporations and the wealthiest Americans, Repub-

From the Desk of

TOM SUOZZI licans placed a $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. This cap has negatively impacted middle-class families, particularly those in areas with a high cost of living, such as Long Island.

The cap on this critical deduction has resulted in a devasting tax increase for the middle class. In my district alone, over 250,000 families, or 43 percent of households, claim this deduction at an average rate of $18,300.

In 2017, one-third of all taxpayers claimed the SALT deduc-

tion, and more than 80 percent of those taxpayers earned under $200,000. This is demonstrably unfair to New York taxpayers, who are understandably galled by having to pay more than $36 billion in taxes to the federal government than it receives back.

Conversely, New Yorkers are now subsidizing other states that have benefitted from the GOP plan.

I recently was appointed to the House Ways and Means Committee, the chief tax-writing committee of the House of Representatives. Using my new position, I have and will continue to fight for middle-class taxpayers on Long Island and across America.

In January, I introduced a bill with Congressman Peter King which would retroactively reinstate a full deduction for state and local taxes. I was instrumental in the formation of a Congressional working group of Ways and Means Committee members that is focusing on and examining the best ways to combat the issues presented by capping the SALT deduction.

Along with Reps. Nadler and Lowey, I introduced the Tax Equity Act, which would adjust federal income tax brackets to reflect the actual cost of living.

The American middle-class needs a raise. Since the 1980s, the stock market is twelve times higher and the nation’s GDP is six times higher. Yet, middleclass families struggle with stagnant wages, high debt, and a lack of savings.

The $1.9 trillion that will pay for the corporate and wealthy American’s tax reductions could have been put to better use. We must work together to incentivize investments in infrastructure apprenticeship programs and other investments in human capital that will result in wage increases.

The GOP’s promises to hardworking, middle-class Americans notwithstanding, their tax bill has continued to cement their reputation as champions of corporate and wealthy America. It is no wonder that they refused to campaign on this bill, ultimately losing the House.

MTA dragging feet on planning studies

W

hy has the Metropolitan Transportation Authority stalled for months in releasing final reports for several transportation planning studies? In other cases, they have not initiated proposed transportation planning studies even though funding has been provided under the existing MTA $32 billion 2015-2019 Five Year Capital Plan. Consider the current status for the following four transportation planning studies.

The Long Island Rail Road Belmont Park Arena transportation improvements study is still missing in action. Former MTA Chairman Joe Lhota informed the Empire State Development Corporation that there is no current Penn Station capacity to support new Belmont Park service.

He said his agency must first perform a planning study. The study was started in July with a September completion date. It appears they may have recently shared results of the study with the Empire State Development

Corporation. Why has there been a delay in making it public seven months later? They have yet to even make a presentation to the monthly LIRR or full MTA committee board meetings.

What happened to Gov. Cuomo’s promise of the most transparent administration in history? Wasn’t transparency also suppose to include all state agencies and authorities, including the MTA and LIRR?.

What ever happened to the feasibility study for restoration of LIRR service on the old Rockaway Beach line in Queens? The original completion date was June 2017. It was subsequently delayed until December 2017 and again to June 2018. Another nine months have come and gone with draft and final reports yet to have been made public. The MTA will not even commit to a new schedule and date for release of the study. Continued delay in release of the study could imply that both feasibility and costs have been found to be prohibitive. The estimated costs have

already grown from $600 million to $1 billion over recent years.

At the request of Mayor Bill de Blasio, the MTA allocated $5 million in funding under the $32 billion 2015-2019 Five Year Capital Program to initiate a feasibility study for building a Utica Avenue subway extension in Brooklyn.

The Utica Avenue subway was originally proposed by New York City Mayor Hyland in 1922. The concept would construct extensions for both the No. 3 and No. 4 original IRT subway lines in East Flatbush. It would be built along Utica Avenue from Eastern Parkway to Avenue U. Costs for both the first phase of Second Avenue and No. 7 subway line extension averaged $2 billion plus per mile.

One can only imagine how many billions would be required to do the same along Utica Avenue.

Four years later, the MTA has yet to issue a Request for Proposals to hire any engineering consulting firm to perform this study.

This contradicts a past Regional Planning Association report, which states that “an assessment

should be forthcoming.” It may be a clear sign that the MTA is not interested in pursuing this project. This proposal may represent a waste of taxpayers dollars for yet another transportation feasibility study.

Why has there been a lack of progress toward looking into the potential feasibility of constructing a new downtown Flushing Bus Terminal? There is seed money in the current MTA 20152019 Capital Plan to look into the possibility of replacing the longforgotten Flushing Bus Terminal, which closed in 1954. This need has been previously documented in planning studies going back to the 1960s. What is the current status of this study? Has a consultant been hired? When will the public see a draft or final report?

Results from any final planning study report should identify the path for the next steps, including a project schedule,budget, funding sourcesand future steps of environmental review, design, engineering and construction.

Why has any public official,

MTA board member or other transit advocates not held the MTA accountable for the lack of progress for these transportation planning studies? If the MTA has no intention of progressing a study, why not reprogram the funds toward a capital project instead? Diogenes is still searching for a brave MTA board member or elected official to speak up.

Larry Penner (Larry Penner is a transportation historian and advocate who previously worked 31 years for the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region 2. This included the development, review, approval and oversight for grants supporting billions in capital projects and programs on behalf of the MTA, NYC Transit, Long Island Rail Road, Metro North Rail Road, MTA Bus, New Jersey Transit, NYC Department of Transportation and over 30 other transit operators in New York State).

Deputy Mayor Marshall Bernstein discusses the uses of the proposed budget for the 2019-20 year.

Roslyn village adopts $5.28 million budget

BY S H E L BY TA L C O T T The Village of Roslyn’s Board of Trustees adopted a $5.28 million budget for 2019-20 last Thursday, up from the current budget of just over $5 million.

This budget complies with the state 2 percent tax cap. The proposed budget will be used to improve computer systems, fund various landscaping projects and provide other services to the village. There are no significant changes in spending.

There will be an increase in real estate taxes for the 2019-20 year of roughly $245,000, or 5.13 percent. However, because of shifts in properties from payments in lieu of taxes, the tax roll and other improvements around Roslyn, the village taxes that residents will pay are going to decrease by a little over 1 percent.

Village Clerk Anita Frangella said that the tax rate for residents for the 2019-20 year will be 28.29029.

“We are able to accomplish our needs this next year without raising taxes for residents,” Deputy Mayor Marshall Bernstein said. “Actually, there’s a slight decrease, which is really great.”

In addition to adopting the budget, the board approved the upcoming “Organization Night.” This celebrates those elected for a new term, those serving for another year and all of the people who help the village run smoothly. Details, including date and time, will be announced later.

The board also approved the proposed master lease/purchase agreement entered into by Rescue Hook and Ladder Company No. 1, which will not exceed $679,000. This is for the lease/purchase of fire equipment, which will include a new tower ladder and a fire truck. The ladder has new designs that will increase safety for volunteer firefighters and residents.

A public hearing for the budget is set for April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Village Hall.

North Hills budget increases 10.6% Devotes $401.6K of this year’s surplus to capital improvements, including renovations

BY T E R I W EST The Village of North Hills Board of Trustees unanimously passed its 2019-20 budget last Wednesday and once again has the lowest property tax among all villages in Nassau County, said Mayor Marvin Natiss.

The tax levy is $74,338, which is $3,125 higher than last year’s. Overall, the budget is $2.69 million, a 10.65 percent increase from the current budget.

“We’re right on budget,” the mayor said. “Our budget runs about the same every year.”

The village is putting $401,611 of surplus from the current fiscal year into a capital improvement fund, said village Clerk Marianne Lobaccaro. Those funds will contribute to projects including Village Hall renovations, park renovations, equipment purchases and an ongoing records digitization project, she said.

Records such as building files are being scanned to increase ease of access.

“It will be much more user-friendly and will create efficiencies for the residents,” Lobaccaro said.

The village keeps taxes low by finding revenue from other sources, she said, particularly various user fees.

The village slotted $450,000 sepa-

Ed board discussion pivots to contract

BY S A M U E L G L A S S E R The Herricks Board of Education meeting had hardly begun Tuesday night when the stalled negotiations with the Herricks Teachers’ Association became the first issue raised during the public comment session.

Clifford Katz, a parent from Albertson, said he had two questions: One for the board – “why are the contract negotiations so acrimonious?” And for the HTA – “why did the teachers union direct the cancellation of extra help sessions? I don’t understand why that action should be condoned.”

Superintendent Fino Celano, answering for the board, said: “There are certain actions the HTA is taking that’s causing consternation in the community.

We made clear that if there are responsibilities they have to continue or it’s an illegal job action.”

Nidya Degliomini, president of the teachers union, pushed back on Celano’s statement in an interview after the meeting. The union, she said, made clear to the teachers that they “have to abide by the terms of the expired contract. If you are assigned extra help, you do it. My teachers will do anything to help a kid.”

She also spoke with Mr. and Mrs. Katz after the meeting and said she would find out what happened at the class.

The teachers’ contract expired at the end of June 2018 and negotiations have been underway for about a year. This is the first time in decades that the contract had not been settled by the opening of the school year. Under state law the teachers continue to work under the provisions of the expired contract except for scheduled salary increases.

The board and union are entering a process called fact-finding. The state Public Employment Relations Board appoints a neutral party as fact-finder who hears the positions of both parties and provides assistance towards a settlement.

Another parent at the meeting complained about flyers that were displayed on cars in the school parking lots that she said “sent a bad message to students and the community.”

Degliomini said the flyers were distributed only to HTA members and were only displayed on their cars. They read: “Your Herricks Faculty: Disrespected Devalued Demoralized. What’s with the Herricks B.O.E.? Fair Contract Now!” “The crisis team decided that some Continued on Page 63

Actress, activist Shirley Romaine, dies

BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Shirley Romaine, a television personality, champion of the arts, and crusader for progressive causes and peace, died on Sunday morning. She was 96.

Romaine, a 50-year resident of Great Neck, played many roles in her life, with actress, show host, teacher, activist, mother and wife among them.

But, family, friends and colleagues said, one thing proved consistent throughout Romaine’s life: she was a presence brimming with kindness, passion, conviction and an unparalleled eloquence.

“She was involved in her family, she was involved in the arts, she was involved in politics, and they all mattered deeply and they all managed to be intertwined,” Rabbi Robert Widom of Temple Emanuel said at her funeral service on Tuesday. “They fed on each other in a very full life.”

Romaine was born on Feb. 18, 1923, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, according to an online obituary. Her family then went to Los Angeles, where her parents opened a dry cleaner and she attended Los Angeles City College to secure an associate’s degree. After that, Romaine moved to New York to pursue an acting career.

Romaine took on several roles, Widom said, working on and off Broadway, touring with Lynn Fontaine and Alfred

Shirley Romaine, a champion of the arts and progressive causes, died on Sunday. She was 96.

Lunt, being part of the “original touring company of ‘A Streetcar Named Desire,’” and becoming a regular on soap operas.

She also battled being on the “Hollywood blacklist” during the Red Scare in the 1950s, Widom said.

During that time she met Stan Romaine, a trade magazine publisher. The two married on Oct. 20, 1957, and had two daughters: Jenny and Erica.

The family moved to Great Neck in

the late 1960s, where Romaine took an active role in the civil rights and women’s movements on the North Shore. She also helped create a committee during the Vietnam War called the Co-op for Peace.

When Regina Gil, the founder and executive director of the Gold Coast Arts Center, moved to Great Neck in 1976, Gil said, Romaine was already a “prominent citizen of the community” and leader in the arts.

Romaine was president of the North Shore Community Arts Center, a school of the arts and a performance center, until 1983. After that Romaine and Harriet Becker headed the North Shore Community Arts Council, Gil said, serving as a support group for the arts into the 1990s.

“Shirley was front and center always,” Gil said, “bringing the best of what was happening in the world – the world of culture, the world of education – to her community, carrying on the cultural legacy that had given Great Neck such stature, such a unique position among suburban communities.”

When Gil thought of founding a new arts center, she first went to Romaine, who warned her about all the obstacles.

But once convinced, Gil said, Romaine became a strong supporter and one of the first signatories of the Great Neck Arts Center – now known as the Gold Coast Arts Center.

Romaine also hosted the “Playwrights Project” for Public Access Tele-

vision, served as co-chair of the Cinema Arts Center, and hosted and produced Cablevision’s “Artscene on Long Island” for 25 years.

Beth Jucovy, the artistic director and founder of Great Neck-based Dance Visions NY Inc., said Romaine was also pivotal to the success of the group, having served as a founding board member and a “mother figure” to everyone involved in the group.

“She has been its lifeblood along with myself for over twenty two years and continued to be active, and instrumental in the company until her passing,” Jucovy said via email. “She started us off on our successes and has been host/ narrator, elucidator, poet, even dancer in almost all our programs locally, in NYC, and in other nearby states and counties for the past two decades.”

Fran Rein, who co-founded Reach Out America, a progressive group advocating for human rights, the environment, the social safety net, voting rights and world peace, with Romaine, recalled first meeting her and other prominent liberal activists during the Bush-Kerry presidential contest.

“Shirley was a legend,” Rein said. “I knew it before I met her and it was confirmed to me the moment I met her.”

Rein said Romaine educated her on how to succeed in activism, whether it was dealing with the press, issues of the Continued on Page 76

A hologram concert celebrating rock legend Zappa

I

n 1974,!musician, composer, activist and filmmaker!Frank Zappa!transformed his Los Angeles rehearsal space into a sound stage and cranked out some unbelievable performances seen and heard only by the camera operators in the room. The audio from these performances — locked away in the Zappa vaults for 44 years — is now the basis for the ambitious hologram tour, “The Bizarre World of Frank Zappa.”

The “can’t miss” concert spectacle, produced by Eyellusion, live music’s premier hologram production company, in close cooperation with the Zappa Family Trust, will make a stop at The Paramount on Wednesday, April 24 at 8 p.m.

The hologram tour includes longtime Zappa players, including guitarists Ray White and Mike Keneally, bassist Scott Thunes, multi-instrumentalist Robert Martin, percussionist Ed Mann, and drummer and Zappa archivist Joe “Vaultmeister” Travers.

“As a futurist and hologram enthusiast, Frank fearlessly broke through boundary after boundary as an artist, and in honoring his indomitable spirit, we’re about to do it again, 25 years after his passing,” said Ahmet Zappa, Frank’s son and co-trustee of the Zappa Family Trust.! “‘Bizarre World’ has been a herculean undertaking and an extremely emotional journey for me,” Ahmet adds. “Weirdly, it’s also been one of the most creatively satisfying projects that I have ever had the privilege of working on. It’s fascinating to me how into holograms my dad was and it’s unbelievable that we have Frank in his own words talking about it.!The fact that we’re now finally able to technologically bring to life the ideas and concepts my father talked about so many years ago is astonishing.”

In a career spanning more than 30!years, Zappa composed rock, pop, jazz and orchestral works in the!more than 60 albums he released with his band, the Mothers of Invention, and as a solo artist. He is still!considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse rock musicians of his era.

“The Bizarre World of Frank Zappa” celebrates the music, surreal imagery and humor synonymous with the rock legend. The inspirations and subjects of Zappa’s songs will be brought to life on stage using various visual techniques and classic imagery from his album artwork and characters from his songs, culminating in what has been called a “bizarre” live music experience.!

“My father and I actively discussed 3D and ‘holography’ and it was a concept he actively engaged in,” Ahmet says. “He actually devoted half a chapter of his ‘The Real Frank Zappa’ book to this subject. This is a love letter and a journey celebrating the genius artistry of Frank Zappa. On a personal note, I feel like I am finishing something my father started years ago. !And let’s not forget, Frank himself will be rocking his fans, alongside his bandmates like nobody’s business.”

For the first time in a long time, Zappa fans will get to see and hear new music performed by Frank with his live band and enjoy never-before-heard versions of their favorite songs, all while brain-melting visuals make them laugh, smile, and perhaps even cry.

Bernstein protege plays Political satire: one-night show, one-handed ‘Woman at War’ When you first hear John Bayless play the piano, you are transported by his art. When you actually watch him play, you are stunned to realize that he is playing with just one hand.

His new, one-man show, One Hand One Heart: My Life and My Music, co-written with Stewart Schulman, explains why — and how — this is so. The performance will take place at Landmark on Main Street, as part of their Dim the Lights series, on Saturday, April 27 at 8 p.m.

Bayless has delighted audiences with his virtuosic music for more than three decades. A prodigy at Julliard, he was invited to join the inaugural class of NYU’s musical theater masters degree program, where he studied with Leonard Bernstein, Julie Styne, Arthur Laurents, Betty Comden, and Adolph

Green.

Bayless recalls those early days, saying, “Juilliard was great in the ’70s.

I was on a fast track. Going somewhere. Then, in 1978, it got greater. I met my childhood hero. My mentor. The one and only Leonard Bernstein. And for 12 years we shared the most amazing friendship, as mentor-student, fatherson. I miss him every day.”

Bayless’ performing career soared, with appearances with some of the most prestigious orchestras at the great concert venues of the world. Then, in 2008, a stroke left him isolated from the musical life

he’d always known.

This new play with music by Gershwin, Bernstein, Puccini, Mancini, Rachmaninoff, Rodgers, Legrand and Bayless himself, takes audiences on the amazing journey of Bayless’ life through his music — his highs, his lows and back again — to his “second act” concertizing with his left hand all alone.

The evening will also feature special guest artists, including singer Mia Pinero and dancer Meredith Fages of Heidi Latsky Dance. A documentary film crew will be recording the performance for

the feature length documentary, “Left Alone,” currently in production.

Bayless has an extraordinary imagination, sly wit, tremendous musicality and an imposing technique. The New York Times calls him “an evocative pianist with a lovely piano sound and considerable personal pizzazz.”

With tremendous determination and drive, Bayless has worked his way back to a full life in music. This show is replete with his musical prowess and trademark humor.

Tickets for John Bayless’ One Hand One Heart are available through Landmark’s box office, 516-767-6444, and online at www.landmarkonmainstreet.org.

Landmark on Main Street is located at 232 Main Street in Port Washington.

To coincide with Earth Day, the Cinema Arts Centre will host a screening on Monday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m of “Woman at War,” a#stylish political satire# about a woman who risks everything to protect her home in the highlands of Iceland by waging a onewoman war on the local aluminum industry that has been disfiguring her country.

Halla (Halldóra Geirharðsdóttir) has just learned she’s been approved to adopt a child from a war-torn area in Ukraine, a long-time dream of hers.

The only hitch is that she’s an eco-terrorist. The proliferation of heavy industry, urged on by unscrupulous politicians, has been ruining Iceland’s rugged landscape, and she’s taken action.

Halla soon becomes the scourge of the aluminum industry and is determined to see things through, but

she can’t help wondering: would it be more fulfilling to save hypothetical future lives or the life of the daughter she has yet to meet?

Director Benedikt Erlingsson’s second feature that Variety calls “near perfect” drills deep into the inevitable dilemmas plaguing almost everyone committed to the greater good. The political satire here is precise and rich. It’s evident in the sleazy way the powers that be stoop to demonize Halla.

At the same time, there’s a puckish, postmodernist sense of humor percolating through the film. A tiny jazz band follows Halla everywhere she goes, reminding us that the revolution should be hopeful, not just gloom and doom. And it should come with cool music.# Tickets to the show are# $7 for members and $12 for the general public.

Sherman, Mudd dialogue Diversity in art The seventh season of Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel continues on Sunday, April 28 at 3 p.m., with a conversation between Wendy Sherman and Philip Mudd moderated by NY1 anchor Errol Louis.

Under secretary for political affairs for the U.S. Department of State (2011–2015), global affairs contributor for NBC News and MSNBC, founding partner and senior counselor, The Albright Stonebridge Group, and Harvard professor, Ambassador Wendy R. Sherman brings to every opportunity over three decades of experience in business, international affairs and politics.

Now a senior fellow at both Harvard’s Institute of Politics and Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs, Sherman recently stepped down as under secretary of state for political affairs after four years overseeing every region of the world, dealing with every major opportunity and crisis, and leading the U.S. negotiating team to a successful conclusion of the Iran nuclear deal.

In recognition of her many diplomatic accomplishments, she was recently awarded the

National Security Medal by President Barack Obama and currently serves as a member of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. She is the author of “Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence.”

Philip Mudd is a senior research fellow at the New America Foundation and the George Washington University’s Homeland Security Policy Institute, the first deputy director of the National Security Branch, and the former deputy director of the CIA’s Counterterrorist Center.

At the New American Foundation, he studies counterterrorism, intelligence, and homeland

security. Mudd joined the CIA in 1985 as an analyst specializing in South Asia and the Middle East. He went on to join the White House National Security Council and served on a diplomatic team that helped piece together a new government for Afghanistan in the wake of 9/11.

Mudd returned to the CIA, later becoming the deputy director of the Counterterrorist Center. At the establishment of the FBI’s National Security Branch in 2005, FBI director Robert Mueller appointed Mudd to serve as the branch’s first-ever deputy director. Mudd is the author of “Takedown: Inside the Hunt for Al Qa’ida” and “The HEAD Game: High Efficiency Analytic Decision-Making and the Art of Solving Complex Problems Quickly.”

Following the dialogue, there will be a Q&A, book signings and refreshments.

Tickets are $20 or two for $35. For further information about subscription discounts and to purchase tickets, call 516-4825701.

Temple Emanuel of Great Neck is located at 150 Hicks Lane in Great Neck.

exhibit to open

The concept of diversity encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies.

In the exhibition, Diversity in Our Lives, on display from May 25 through June 9, the Art League of Long Island hopes to encourage understanding of each other and move beyond simple tolerance to embracing and celebrating the rich dimensions of diver-

sity contained within each individual. There will be a reception on Sunday, June 9, 3:30 to 5:30 p.m., with juror Thomas Germano, professor of art and art history at Farmingdale State College.

The Art League of Long Island, located in Dix Hills, is a not-for-profit visual arts organization that offers classes and workshops for children and adults, from beginner to advanced levels. Their art gallery hosts a dozen exhibits per year, featuring contemporary works by many local artists.

College majors that can lead to higher earnings

C

hoosing a college major is an important decision that many students delay making until their sophomore or even junior years. Only after taking a few courses and uncovering one’s interests do some college students figure out what they want to do with their lives.

Each student is different, and while some may pursue a degree based

on a particular passion, others may choose majors that can lead to highpaying jobs.

and more women have begun to choose majors associated with higher post-graduate salaries.

While men often lean toward majors like engineering and computer science that have traditionally been linked to high earnings, women have historically gravitated to lower-paying specialties like education and social sciences. But in recent years a shift has occurred,

Reports from the career guidance site Glassdoor analyzed how much male and female professionals with the same college degree earned and identified many instances in which women went on to earn more than men in the first five years of their career. They’ve

identified several majors where female college graduates can earn as much or more than their male counterparts and find successful careers. · Architecture · Pharmaceutical sciences · Information sciences · Chemical engineering · Computer science · Electrical engineering · Mechanical engineering · Computer engineering · Business economics · Civil engineering · Sports management Despite these findings, the college resource CollegeFactual and the U.S. Department of Education says that women remain likely to pursue education, design and applied arts, health services, and social work as career options.

Female students unsure of which major they want to pursue can take career assessments to help narrow down their options. Working with mentors or engaging in internships also can present a first-hand idea of high-paying career paths.

How parents can simplify students’ transition to college life

C

ollege is the first taste of true independence many young students experience. Whereas mom and dad were always around to make sure kids were out the door on time and homework was done, that safety blanket is no longer there once kids move into their dorm rooms.

The transition to college life can be exciting. But while students typically welcome that transition with open arms, parents often worry about how their children will handle their suddenly more independent life. Parents who want to help

their kids make as smooth a transition to college life as possible can take steps during their children’s senior year of high school to help them adjust to their new surroundings and responsibilities more easily.

Let kids fly solo on school day mornings. New college students have to make many adjustments upon moving into their dorms, and getting themselves out of bed each morning and off to class on time is one such change. Parents worried that their students will

sleep in when mom and dad isn’t around to remind them to wake up can start letting kids fly solo on school day mornings during their final year of high school. Let kids set their alarms, prepare their own breakfasts and get out the door on time all on their own.

By the time their freshman year of college arrives, kids will know how to handle their mornings by themselves.

Teach kids how to develop budgets. Another problem many first-year college students encounter is an inability to effectively manage their money. Whether you plan to give kids an allowance while they are in school or intend for them to work part-time for their spending money, use senior year of high school as an opportunity to show kids how to budget their money. If they don’t have accounts already, open bank accounts in your youngster’s name, and insist

!"#$%&'()*"+,-%((".",/$$'0, '&+,1&2"#3)"4,!#"5,6%#, 7).8,9:8%%(,92;+"&2$

that he or she start paying for his or her expenses via these accounts. Resist the urge to give high school kids gas money or money for shopping trips if they have already spent their allowances so they can learn how to effectively manage money between paydays.

In addition, teach kids about the right and wrong ways to use credit cards, including the importance of paying balances in full and on time.

Let kids handle more standard responsibilities. Adults tend to take more mundane responsibilities like making doctor’s appointments or grocery shopping for granted. But kids likely have no idea how to handle such tasks. Parents can encourage their high school seniors to make their own medical appointments.

In addition, take kids along on grocery shopping trips, explaining how to find sale items and which foods to buy

and which to avoid. Nutrition is not always foremost on the minds of college freshmen, but those who understand the importance of healthy diets are more likely to buy nutritious meals than junk food.

Emphasize time management. Today’s high schoolers are busier than ever before, so many may already be prepared for the juggling act that is college life. But college students have more free time than their high school counterparts, so parents can emphasize the importance of managing that free time wisely as opposed to spending it lounging on the couch or napping.

The transition from high school to college can be both exciting and difficult. But parents can get a head start on that transition by encouraging their youngsters to be more independent during their final year of high school.

Ways to reduce carbon footprint Landscaping can improve look of your homeo and reduce consumption, expenses

Earth Day is not only an annual celebration of environmental awareness, but a much-needed reminder to do our part in keeping the planet healthy and inhabitable for future generations. As a landscape architect at Harrison Design, I’m always mindful of integrating ways to reduce our carbon footprint, even in our own backyards.

Plant a tree. Planting a shade tree, such as an oak or maple, on the southern side of a residence provides shelter from the heat during the summer, effectively reducing energy usage and cooling costs.

In addition, large trees provide sanctuary to wildlife.

Don’t fear bees — save them. Bees play a pivotal role in the lifecycle of most of the world’s plants, flowers and crops, as they provide the cross-pollination necessary for plants to reproduce and thrive.

Planting a mix of long-blooming perennials, such as sedum, beebalm and zinnias, provides bees with a longer collecting season — and adds a wonderful seasonal pop of color to your garden.

Capture rainwater for irrigation. Using rainwater as a means of natural irrigation is an excellent way to reduce water use.

While you can invest in a more sophisticated water collecting system such as an underground cistern, a simple rain bar-

clean contaminated soils sediments and water. This is a cost-effective way to reduce the toxic effects of contaminants in the environment, such as lead, cadmium chromium and arsenic. Mustard plants, sunflowers and switchgrass are all local examples.

Replace or reduce your lawn. Consider synthetic turf or alternative seed-blend lawns that require less water, fertilizer and overall upkeep. Front lawns especially are rarely used and are an excellent opportunity to experiment with different lowmaintenance grasses.

Plant a vegetable garden. Transporting food has an adverse environmental impact. An extremely effective, and rewarding, way to reduce your carbon footprint is to grow many of your herbs and vegetables in your backyard. As an additional benefit, you control what chemicals come in contact with your crops.

rel attached to a roof leader allows water storage for times of drought, considerably reducing the cost of traditional irrigation.

Limit paving. It’s crucial to limit the amount of outdoor paved surfaces to allow the ground to absorb as much rainwater as possible. Permeable paving limits surface runoff and allows rain through to replenish the underground aquifers.

Go native. Native plants are already

acclimated to your surroundings and require less care than non-native species. Local plants survive on the existing climate’s rainfall without demanding additional irrigation. Examples of plants native to the New York area are junipers, blueberries, shadbush, ornamental grasses and pine trees.

Maintain indoor air quality all year long

M

illions of people anxiously anticipate the arrival of spring.

Months spent cooped up indoors as temperatures outside dip below freezing can take their toll, and those first warm, sunny days of spring can be just what people need to kick the winter blues.

Winter can be dreary for people confined to indoors as temperatures drop, and poor air quality in a home can add to that dreariness while adversely affecting individuals’ health. Air quality tends to suffer most in winter, but there are ways to ensure the air inside a home stays healthy all year long.

Inspect and address any sources of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide, or CO, is an invisible, odorless gas that can contribute to poor indoor air quality and a host of health problems if it goes undetected in a home. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, potential sources of CO in a home include improperly vented natural gas appliances, such as stoves and water heaters, gaspowered tools that are used indoors, clogged chimneys, or blocked heating exhaust vents. Men and women can periodically inspect potential sources of CO and address any issues they find while also making sure all CO detectors are properly installed and functioning optimally.

Inspect HVAC ducts. Ductwork is used to deliver warm or cool air in homes with heating and air conditioning systems. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency notes that much of the dirt in air ducts adheres to the duct surfaces without ever entering living spaces. However, the EPA notes that homeowners should consider having

their ducts cleaned if an inspection uncovers substantial visible mold growth. In addition, the EPA recommends homeowners consider cleaning if ducts are infested with vermin or clogged with excessive amounts of dust or debris.

Avoid chemical cleaning products.

Chemical cleaning products may be great at disinfecting dishes, countertops and other areas in the home, but such items may be toxic and adversely affect indoor air quality. For example, chemicals such as bleach and ammonia, which are used in many commercial cleaning products, can linger in the air, irritating the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. Homeowners concerned about the quality of air in their homes also can avoid scented products, such as air fresheners and scented detergents, which the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health notes may release volatile organic compounds into the air.

Inspect bathrooms for mold growth.

Mold can grow on surfaces that are routinely wet, and that makes poorly ventilated bathrooms common sources for home mold infestations. Mold can adversely affect indoor air quality when mold spores are released, potentially triggering allergic reactions, asthma attacks and respiratory conditions. After bathing in bathrooms without vents, men and women can open windows so the room dries before mold can grow.

In bathrooms with vents, make sure vents are running during baths and showers and afterward until ceilings, walls and floors appear dry.

Poor indoor air quality can be easily addressed to ensure individuals stay healthy throughout the year.

The various ways going green

saves consumers money

M

any people adopt eco-friendly practices in an effort to protect and preserve the planet. But going green can be as good for adults’ pocketbooks as it is for the planet.

People who start making concerted efforts to go green are often surprised to learn the myriad ways they are suddenly saving money.

While finances might not be the primary motivator that compels people to start living more eco-friendly lifestyles, recognizing the many ways that going green can save consumers money might be just what people need to keep them on track in their efforts to help the planet.

On the road Drivers who alter their driving habits can save money in various ways. Defensive driving has long been touted as

poorly maintained, thereby conserving fuel.

Lighting

Furnishing a home with antiques can protect the planet and may even save homeowners money. the safest way to take to the road, but such an approach to driving also can be financially savvy. Drivers who do not frequently accelerate or stop suddenly can conserve fuel, saving them money at the filling station. In addi-

tion, following manufacturerrecommended maintenance guidelines can ensure all vehicle components are operating smoothly. That means the engine does not have to work as hard as it would if a vehicle was

Household lighting is another area where consumers can protect the planet and save money at the same time. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, Energy Star®-qualified LED lights consume just 20 to 25 percent of the energy used by incandescent bulbs, all the while lasting as much as 25 times longer than incandescents. That saves men and women money on their energy bills. While LED lights are more expensive to purchase than many of the alternatives, their long life expectancy means consumers can expect to see returns on that investment long before the bulbs are no longer functional.

Furnishings Another way to go green and save money is to forgo new furnishings for used furniture or antiques. Some antiques might prove more expensive than brand new items, but savvy shoppers can likely find older, less costly items for a fraction of the price of brand new furnishings. Buying used furniture or antiques reduces landfill waste and cuts back on manufacturing, packaging and transportation, each of which can take a toll on the planet. Consumers who need new furnishings for their homes also can look for products made of recycled materials, which reduces landfill waste, or items made from eco-friendly materials that grow quickly, thereby reducing the need for pesticides.

Going green is a commendable way to live and safeguard the planet. Adopting such a lifestyle also can be a great way to save money.

How to be an

eco-friendly D

motorist

riving is not often categorized as an eco-friendly activity. But driving is often the most reliable transportation option for people who live outside of cities or in areas without accessible public transportation. Eco-friendly motorists who need to drive can employ various strategies to reduce their carbon footprints while behind the wheel.

Plan trips in advance. In lieu of making several separate trips in a vehicle, plan ahead and use car trips to accomplish more than one goal. For example, resolve to do some grocery shopping on your way home from the gym, or order takeout when leaving your office so you won’t have to go back out to pick up dinner after arriving home. Combining tasks into a single car trip is a more efficient use of time and fuel.

Adhere to vehicle maintenance recommendations. Auto manufacturers recommend vehicles be taken in for routine maintenance at certain intervals. Some manufacturers may recommend drivers have their vehicles’ oil changed every 3,000 miles, while others may advise tires be rotated every 5,000 miles. Drivers should learn these guidelines and adhere to them, as sticking to maintenance schedules can help vehicles operate more smoothly and efficiently, conserving fuel as a result.

Become an eco-conscious car buyer. When buying their cars, many motorists choose the most vehicle they can afford or a car or truck they have long wanted to drive. But the biggest or prettiest vehicle may not be the most practical, especially for drivers who want to reduce their carbon footprints.

Drivers who want their driving to be as eco-friendly as possible should choose vehicle models that suit their needs and driving habits. If the bulk of your driving is commuting alone to work, then a small, fuel-efficient vehicle may be more eco-friendly and practical than a large SUV. Investigate electric cars and hybrid models to determine if either option is suited to your driving habits.

Carpool to work. Working professionals who work in large office complexes can no doubt find neighbors with whom they can carpool. Begin by posing a carpool to coworkers, expanding your search to nearby businesses if coworkers are lukewarm to the idea. Carpools not only save fuel, but also can be a great for drivers to extend the life expectancies of their vehicles.

T Easy ways to

conserve water Showers consume considerably less water than baths.

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 19, 2019 • Guide to Earth Day & Green Living

he are a number of reasons to conserve water, but perhaps none is more urgent or compelling than the role water plays in human survival. Water.org notes than human beings can survive for weeks without food but only make it a few days without water. What’s more, the foods humans eat, namely plants and animals, require water to survive.

The world’s supply of fresh water is dwindling, a troubling notion on its own, and even more so when considering the human population is only growing. In fact, the World Water Council estimates that the world’s population will grow by as much as 50 percent in the next half-century.

Such a reality only highlights the need to conserve water. Though the growing global water shortage is a complex problem, the many ways people can conserve water are quite simple.

Change your diet. Reducing consumption of livestock and poultry in favor of vegetables can help people dramatically reduce their water consumption. According to the Grace Communications Foundation (GRACE), a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a more sustainable food system, livestock and poultry produced in the United States consume substantial amounts of waterintensive feed. By reducing consumption of such products, consumers can greatly reduce their water footprints.

The perils of

A

bottled water

ccording to The Water Project, a nonprofit organization that provides reliable water projects to communities in sub-Saharan Africa, the environmental cost of the consumption of bottled water has led some communities in both the United States and Canada to consider banning its sale. The Santa Clara Valley Water District estimates that 80 percent of all single-use water bottles used in the U.S. ultimately become litter. Many of those bottles ultimately end up in landfills, where they can spend several hundred years decomposing. But plastic water bottles are not just harmful to the planet postproduction. The environmental group One Green Planet notes that the production and transportation of plastic bottles, which are made from a petroleum product known as polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, require incredible amounts of fossil fuels. While consumers might feel simply recycling the bottles is enough to offset the environmental cost of their production and transport, it’s important to note that not all plastic can be recycled, and while plastic bottles are generally considered recyclable, not all of them actually are. Consumers concerned about their bottled water consumption should know that reusable water bottles are not only more eco-friendly, but also much more cost-effective.

When eating meat, dairy and eggs, GRACE recommends opting for pasture-raised products that feed on grass, which is less likely to be irrigated than water-needy food sources like corn and soybeans that are fed to many commercially produced livestock and poultry.

Reduce water consumption when cooking. When cooking, some cooks might find it convenient to keep faucets running so they can more easily rinse foods and their hands. However, such practices are incredibly wasteful, as substantial amounts of water literally goes down the drain when faucets are running unattended. In addition, homeowners can install low-flow faucets in their sinks, which GRACE notes typically flow at 1.5 gallons per minute instead of the five gallons per minute of more traditional faucets.

Take showers instead of baths.

Baths might feel like just what the doctor ordered after a long day, but baths are considerably more wasteful than showers. GRACE estimates that the average bath can require as many as 50 gallons of water, while a 10-minute shower under a low-flow showerhead requires roughly half that amount of water.

Take your conservation efforts outside. Water conservation efforts need not be confined to indoors. Homeowners who pride themselves on having

43

lush green lawns can still produce envious landscapes while conserving water. When watering a lawn, do so in the early morning hours or early evening. Temperatures tend to be more mild during these hours than in the middle of the day, meaning less water will be lost to evaporation. Consider the weather when watering the lawn as well. If wind is in the forecast, turn off automatic sprinklers and hand water if absolutely necessary. Gusty winds increase water loss due to evaporation and prevent water from getting to the lawn. In addition, if the forecast is predicting rain, turn off automatic sprinklers and let nature water the lawn instead.

Take steps to conserve energy.

Water plays a vital role in the production of energy, so taking steps to conserve energy can go a long way toward reducing your water footprint.

When buying new appliances, opt for energy-efficient products. Homeowners can investigate renewable energy sources such as solar energy, which can dramatically reduce their carbon footprints while conserving substantial amounts of water over the long haul.

The need to conserve water is urgent.

But as complex a problem as the dwindling world water supply is, the efforts to solve that problem through conservation can be simple.

The benefits

H

of choosing solar energy

ome improvement trends come and go. What’s popular among today’s homeowners may feel dated to prospective buyers a decade from now. But solar energy is one home improvement trend that does not figure to go the way of sunken living rooms or popcorn ceilings.

According to the Solar Energies Industry Association®, solar energy experienced a compound annual growth rate of more than 60 percent between 2006 and 2016. Solar energy has also done wonders to improve the employment rate. According to the Solar Foundation’s National Solar Jobs Census, in the United States there were more than 260,000 solar workers in 2016, an increase of 25 percent from the previous year. Things are equally rosy in Canada, where the Government of Canada reports installed capacity for solar thermal power has experienced a compound growth rate of nearly 14 percent since 2004.

The search for a renewable energy source has led many people to embrace solar energy, but there are many more reasons for homeowners to embrace going solar.

Return on investment: Many people considering solar energy for the first time may experience some sticker shock when they learn the cost of installing solar panels on their homes.

But data from the EnergySage Solar Marketplace indicated that, in the first half of 2015, solar shoppers who compared their options achieved payback

Spending time with kids in the great outdoors can instill a love of nature in youngsters that compels them to embrace ecofriendly practices throughout the rest of their lives.

on their solar investments in 7.5 years.

So in addition to the monthly savings on their utility bills, homeowners can expect to recoup their solar energy investments in a relatively short period of time.

Property value: Whether they plan to do so in the near or distant future, homeowners with an eye on selling their homes may be interested to learn that a recent study from the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab found that solar panels can significantly increase property value. The study analyzed the sales of more than 20,000 homes in California, Connecticut, Florida, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, New York and Pennsylvania, suggesting the desire for solar energy among prospective buyers is not exclusive to a particular region of the country.

Energy independence: According to the U.S. Energy Administration, most of the energy consumed in the United States comes from fossil fuels like petroleum. The EIA also notes that, in 2016, the United States imported about 10.1 million barrels of petroleum per day. By embracing solar energy, Americans and citizens of any country that relies heavily on foreign oil imports, can take a big step toward increasing their energy independence.

The use of solar energy is on the rise, and there are many reasons for homeowners to embrace this increasingly popular energy source.

How youngsters

can go green

C

hildren often aspire to emulate their parents. Young boys who see their fathers shaving might reach for dad’s shaving cream, while young girls may find their way into mom’s closet in an effort to dress up like their mothers.

Kids’ curiosity may be similarly piqued when they see their parents going green. Parents who reduce, reuse and recycle are setting positive examples for their kids, who may inquire about the ways they can follow suit. While going green might not seem like the most kid-friendly activity, there are myriad ways for parents to involve children in their efforts to live eco-friendly lifestyles.

Donate clothing and toys. Children outgrow their clothing pretty quickly.

Rather than discarding items kids can no longer wear, parents can take tots along to donation centers or thrift stores to show them how their clothes can be reused. Use this as an opportunity to teach kids how donating or recycling old items cuts down on the need to use natural resources to create new items.

Do the same with toys, which kids tend to outgrow almost as quickly as their clothing.

Bike to school. Stay-at-home parents, telecommuters or those who have time to escort their children to and from school can bike to school with their children. Teach them how biking in lieu of driving helps to conserve fuel and how such conservation benefits the planet.

If biking is not an option due to weather or distance, parents can organize carpools, teaching kids how traveling together instead of individually helps to conserve fuel.

Avoid plastic water bottles. Plastic water bottles might seem more convenient because they don’t need to be washed after using them, but the environmental organization Clean Up Australia notes that plastic bottles, many of which are derived from crude oil, generate enormous amounts of waste that ultimately end up in landfills.

In addition, the transportation of such bottles from factories to store shelves requires the burning of significant amounts of fossil fuels. Take kids along to the store to purchase their own reusable water bottle, explaining to them how they’re doing their part to protect the planet by choosing reusable bottles over bottled water.

Visit the library. Young children who love to read can borrow books from the library rather than asking mom and dad to purchase their own copies at the bookstore. Explain how borrowing cuts down on the need for paper, which helps preserve forests and reduce waste.

Spend more time in the great outdoors. Many parents want their children to spend more time outdoors and less time on the couch playing video games or watching television.

Parents can make an effort to spend more time outdoors with their children engaging in fun activities like hiking, camping or fishing. Such excursions can instill a love and appreciation for nature in youngsters, and that love can compel them to a lifetime of protecting the planet and conserving its resources.

Kids who want to follow their parents’ example and go green can do so in various ways, many of which are as fun as they are eco-friendly.

Productive ways to spend the summer after graduation

G

raduation is a momentous day in the lives of college students.

After years of schooling that dates all the way back to preschool or kindergarten, newly minted college graduates are finally ready to begin their professional lives.

That can be a scary prospect for some students, especially those who graduate without jobs lined up. The summer after graduating from college can be a time like no other in the lives of new graduates. It can be easy to grow dejected as weeks or months go by without receiving a job offer. But spending the summer after graduation as productively as possible can help graduates overcome any dejection they might feel and increase their chances of landing a job. · Contact career services offices at your alma mater. Career services offices can help recent graduates as they look for their first jobs out of college.

Such offices may have access to job and internship opportunities that grads do not. In addition, they may coach

grads on interviewing techniques and on ways to stand out in crowded job markets. · Seek internships. If part- or full-time employment is proving elusive, don’t be afraid to seek and ultimately accept internships, which can provide a way for grads to get their foot in the doors in certain industries. Summer internships may already be filled, so scour job boards for fall or winter internships. · Start networking. Students who interned can get in touch with their past supervisors or mentors and find out if the company is hiring. Such people may be more inclined to bring someone with direct experience onboard - even if that experience was brief and unpaid. In addition, grads can connect with adjunct professors who work in their desired fields. · When job hunting, don’t get pigeonholed by your major. Just because a student graduates with a particular degree does not mean he or she needs to look for work in that field. In fact, many companies may prefer entry-

level applicants with degrees that are not specific to their industries so their new hires are blank slates who can be easily trained. · Attend job fairs. While other graduates may be taking the summer off, enterprising grads looking for work should attend as many job fairs as possible. Graduates likely won’t leave job fairs with employment offers in hand, but job fairs are a great way for grads to meet hiring managers and submit their résumés to potential employers. · Customize a résumé for every job.

Be sure the curriculum vitae is not static. Write and refine résumés for each job you apply for, mildly tweaking the wording or accomplishments to address the key phrases used in the job listing.

It can be tempting for recent college grads to spend the summers after graduation relaxing, but those who spend that time productively may lands jobs more quickly than those who do not.

Factors to consider before pursuing an advanced degree

dvanced degrees have long been associated with better career prospects and higher earnings.

Women seem to be especially aware of that, as the Council of Graduate Schools/GRE Survey of Graduate Enrollment and Degrees noted that, in the fall of 2017, the majority of first-time graduate students at all levels were women.

Among master’s degree candidate’s that fall, 59 percent were female while 53.5 percent of doctoral candidates were women.

The decision to pursue an advanced degree requires careful consideration. Such a pursuit requires a considerable investment of time and money, and while those are two important factors to consider before making a decision (more on that below), they’re

not the only things women must think of as they try to make the best decision.

Timing Timing and time are two different things. While many people considering graduate degrees think about how much time they’ll need to complete their degrees, timing also merits consideration. Newly minted graduates may want to take a break after expending so much effort to earn their undergraduate degrees. Taking time between degrees can provide the opportunity to recharge, and it also can give young graduates a chance to get some professional experience. That experience can inform their future grad school decision, perhaps reassuring them they’re on the right career path or compelling them to pursue other avenues. But

enrolling right after completing your undergraduate studies can be beneficial as well.

That’s especially so for recent grads who hope to start a family soon after graduation. The longer you delay enrolling in a graduate program, the longer you may delay starting a family, which can have a lasting impact.

Career prospects While it’s easy to assume an advanced degree will greatly enhance your career prospects and increase your earning potential, it’s not necessarily that simple. When considering the pursuit of an advanced degree, try to determine if you’ll be in the workforce long enough to benefit from the increased earnings. Women who are mid- to late-career might not benefit considerably or at all from the

extra earnings if they’re paying for their advanced degrees themselves, as the cost of tuition and other fees might be higher than the extra earnings.

In addition, some advanced degrees won’t necessarily lead to considerably higher salaries than you’re likely to earn with a bachelor’s degree.

That will depend on your profession.

Time The time required to pursue an advanced degree merits strong consideration. Many students pursuing a master’s degree full-time can earn their degrees in two years, while those who attend part-time will need more time to complete their degree programs. Doctoral programs take considerably longer.

47

Cost The cost of an advanced degree varies widely depending on the program. Some programs may cost $20,000 or less, while others will cost more than $100,000. Many doctoral candidates receive financial aid from their schools or lenders, but the cost of a Ph.D. is still considerable, especially when considering the potential lost earnings during the years while the degree is being pursued.

Women receive the majority of advanced degrees earned at colleges and universities across the country. Choosing whether or not to pursue such a degree requires careful consideration of a host of factors.

The oldest universities in North America

T

oday’s high school students interested in pursuing higher education have many colleges and universities to choose from, both at home and abroad.

· St. John’s College, 1784: St. John’s College is the third oldest college in the United States, tracing its origins back to the King William’s school in the colony of Maryland. The school was not chartered as St. John’s College until 1784.

In Europe, there are many old, established institutions of higher education.

In fact, many schools in Europe are among the oldest in the world. But North America has its share of centuries-old colleges and universities as well. The following is a look at some of the oldest institutions of higher learning that North America has to offer. · The Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico, 1551: The Royal and Pontifical University of Mexico was founded on September 21, 1551, by a royal decree signed by Charles I of Spain, in Valladolid, Spain. It is generally considered the first university founded in North America and second in the Americas. · Harvard University, 1638: One of the original nine colonial colleges, Harvard University was funded by a bequest by namesake John Harvard. It was twice what the Massachusetts Bay Colony had set aside to establish two schools in the area.

· The University of New Brunswick, 1785: The University of New Brunswick is the oldest English-language university in Canada, and among the oldest public universities in North America. It was founded by a group of seven loyalists who left the United States after the American Revolution.

·Université Laval, 1663: Université Laval is the oldest institution of higher education in Canada and the first North American institution to offer higher education in French.

· Yale University, 1701: Yale University began as the “Collegiate School.” It was renamed in 1718 and has become one of the world’s most prestigious schools.

· The College of William & Mary, 1693: The College of William & Mary was established when land for the college was purchased in 1693. The school claimed that it was in the planning stages decades before Harvard was established.

· Washington College, 1782: Chartered in 1782, Washington College can trace its origins to a gift of 50 guineas provided by George Washington.

Washington granted permission to use his name on the school, which grew from the existing Kent County Free School.

· The University of Ottawa, 1848: The University of Ottawa was established as the College of Bytown in 1848 by the first bishop of the Catholic Archdiocese of Ottawa, Joseph-Bruno Guigues. It was renamed the College of Ottawa in 1861 and received university status five years later through a royal charter. · The University of Windsor, 1857: The University of Windsor was established in 1857. when the first students arrived to study at its predecessor, Assumption College. It eventually became one of the largest colleges in Ontario.

Opportunities abound in the field of engineering

E

ngineering is a vital component of many industries. Engineers affect nearly every aspect of daily life, and a career in engineering can be both fulfilling and financially rewarding.

According to PayScale.com, degrees in the STEM fields, which focus on science, technology, engineering, or math, continue to be at or near the top of the site’s College Salary Report. Engineering seems to be an especially lucrative degree to have. In fact, the 2018 report found that three of the top four highest paying jobs for people with a bachelor’s degree were in the field of engineering.

A high salary is certainly enticing, but many professional engineers feel their jobs are more than just a paycheck,

as overcoming the challenges posed by a career in engineering can lead to great personal satisfaction.

The various disciplines within the field of engineering attract students from all walks of life, making engineering an attractive career path for young people with an array of skillsets and interests. The following are just some of the many potential career opportunities for students who earn degrees in engineering. · Electrical and electronics engineer: Technology is vital to daily life in the 21st century, and electrical and electronics engineers play an integral role in making the connected world a reality. Electrical engineers work on everything from computers to wireless networks to automobiles and aircrafts.

· Chemical engineer: Combining the principles of biology, chemistry, economics, mathematics, and physics, chemical engineers strive to convert chemicals, energy and other materials into useful products.

Chemical engineers work in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, petroleum, energy, and manufacturing.

Some chemical engineers focus on research, while others may work on quality control or safety procedures. · Computer engineer: Whether using their smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktops, few people now go a full day without using some type of computer. They have computer engineers, who create and improve existing computer technologies, to thank for that.

Computer engineers may focus their efforts on wireless

networks, the internet or other systems that businesses and people rely on every day.

appliances people have in their homes that they use every day or turbines.

· Mechanical engineer: Mechanical engineers are involved in the research, design and development of machinery. Such machinery may include medical devices,

The field of engineering can be rewarding and lucrative. Becoming a professional engineer requires years of schooling, but the rewards of such a pursuit can be well worth the effort.

Family activities at Gold Coast to screen Queens Farm Museum Dr. Ruth film in G.N. The Queens County Farm Museum has two upcoming spring events that are sure to delight children and their families.

Soon-to-“bee” environmentalists and their grown-ups are invited for an afternoon to celebrate Earth Day on Monday, April 22, from 12 to 3:30 p.m. The Bee a Pollinator program will feature bee talks in the farm’s apiary and a tractor-drawn hayride. It will also include beeswax candle-making and a seed ball project to grow your own wildflowers and food for honey bees.

At 3:30 p.m., the farm will transplant six American chestnut trees in cooperation with the American Chestnut Foundation in a ceremony on the farm’s grounds. Admission includes a 10 percent off coupon in the Farm Store. Refreshments will be available for sale, as well as fresh alfalfa to feed the goats.

Tickets to Bee a Pollinator are $10 per child in advance ($8 members) and $12 per child at the door. Adults are complimentary with participating children. Tickets are available at www.eventbrite.com/e/ bee-a-pollinator-celebrate-earth-day-atthe-queens-county-farm-museum-tickets.

On Saturday, May 11, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the Queens Farm will host their"Sheep Shearing Festival.

Ever see a sheep get a haircut? You can do so at this signature event where there will be shearing demos throughout the afternoon with the farm’s flock of Cotswold and Cormo sheep. The fiber arts will be celebrated at the festival through craftmaking activities and demonstrations in needle-felting, yarn dyeing, wool spinning, weaving and patchwork quilting.

Visitors can also enjoy in-depth tours with farmers, stop by the Con Edison Ecology booth to Adopt-a-Worm for vermicomposting, move to the foot-stomping rhythms of the bluegrass duo, Coyote & Crow, and enjoy kids crafts, hayrides and tasty local food on the farm all day.

Grown-ups can pick up flower and vegetable seedlings for their spring gardens at the plant sale and enjoy something new this year — Queens’ own Bridge & Tunnel Brewery will host a Beer Garden with featured brews during the Sheep Shearing Festival.

Tickets for all ages are $5 in advance, $8 at the door, and free for members by going to www.eventbrite.com/e/sheep-shearing-festival-tickets.

Size doesn’t matter according to nonagenarian Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a pioneer in the field of sex therapy. And, standing at just under five feet tall, Dr. Ruth remains a force —continuing to promise the best sex you’ve ever had if you listen to her.

The Gold Coast International Film Festival will present “Ask Dr. Ruth,” a film by Ryan White that captures Dr. Ruth’s exuberant and witty personality as she goes from speaking engagements to television and radio appearances.

“Ask Dr. Ruth” will be screened on Wednesday, May 8 at 7:30 p.m. at the Great Neck Squire Cinemas, 115 Middle Neck Road in Great Neck. Following the screening will be a live conversation with Dr. Ruth that is sure to be lively and informative.

A VIP event, subject to availability, is priced at $50 per person and includes a private reception with Dr. Ruth at 6 p.m. at Rothchilds Coffee and Kitchen in Great Neck, a photograph with Dr. Ruth, and the chance to have her autograph her new book, “Roller-coaster Grandma: The Amazing Story of Dr. Ruth.”

Cost of the VIP ticket also includes re-

served seating at the film and the postevent Q&A session.

Tickets can be purchased online at bit.ly/2HZvOne. For more information, visit www.goldcoastarts.org/gold-coastcinema-series or call 516-829-2570.

Proceeds from this event help fund the Gold Coast International Film Festival’s year-round programming, including Youth Film Day and Young Filmmakers Program, free programs that help inspire and mentor aspiring filmmakers in grades K through 12.

A household name in the 1980s and ‘90s, Dr. Westheimer’s infectious energy is colored with an openness that is joyous and nonjudgmental, and the affable rapport between filmmaker White and the diminutive sex therapist is a welcome source of laughter.

Alongside her optimism, however, are storybook-like animations that bring Dr. Ruth’s childhood as an orphan of the Holocaust to life. The tragic loss of being separated from her parents and never seeing them again shaped how she would embrace the world. The film is an inspiring and entertaining portrait of a trailblazer that reveals the darkness Dr. Ruth emerged from to bring light to so many people.

Celebrating the music of the Everly Brothers The Everly Set, featuring noted New York City-based singer-songwriters Sean Altman and Jack Skuller, will celebrate the Everly Brothers during the monthly Hard Luck Café series at the Cinema Arts Centre (423 Park Ave. in Huntington) on Thursday, April 18. The 8:30 p.m. concert in the cinema’s Sky Room will be preceded by an open mic at 7:30 p.m.

As the Everly Set, Altman and Skuller pay tribute to their rock heroes, the Everly Brothers, in a show that takes audiences back to 1957 when teenagers Phil and Don Everly first burst on the scene and supercharged the vocal sound of rock and roll with sparkling harmonies that influenced the Beatles, the Beach Boys, Simon & Garfunkel, the Hollies, and the Bee Gees.

Concertgoers are invited to come and sing along to such hit songs as “Bye Bye Love,” “Cathy’s Clown,” “Wake Up Little Susie,” All I Have To Do Is Dream,” “When Will I Be Loved,” “Crying in the Rain,” “Till I Kiss You, “ “Love Hurts,” “Bird Dog,” “Claudette,” “Let It Be Me,” and more Everly Brothers (and Everly-influenced) classics from the late 1950s through the 1980s.

Blessed with a silky tenor voice that produced chills (The New York Times), Altman is widely viewed as the father of modern a cappella. He co-founded and led Rockapella on the Emmy Award-winning PBS-TV series “Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?,” for which he co-wrote the theme song. Altman also currently sings a cappella with the GrooveBarbers

and Doowopera, original pop songs on guitar as a solo artist, and original comedy songs as JEWMONGOUS. Skuller is a recipient of the Holly Prize, an award made possible by the Songwriters Hall of Fame as a tribute to the legacy of Buddy Holly. A writer for The Deli Magazine referred to him as a teen idol in the wrong era, noting that Buddy Holly would be proud. Skuller has performed his original music around the country with Radio Disney. He has also been a regular performer with the acclaimed Losers Lounge tribute series at Joe’s Pub in NYC. Tickets to the performance, which are $15 for the general public and $10 for Cinema Arts Centre and Folk Music Society of Huntington members, will be available at the door.

L.I. authors group holds book fair at Tilles

BY A N G E L I Q U E D’ALESSANDRO The Long Island Authors Group, a group of local book authors that promote the writing community, hosted its first author’s fair in the atrium of the Tilles Center on the LIU Post campus on Saturday, April 6, giving local authors the opportunity to display their work and connect with members of the community.

The fair was organized by the president of Long Island Authors Group, Roland Allnach. Allnach said that organizing the event was the most rewarding part of his work, and that outreach events greatly help the authors in his organization. “We’re really trying to get the word out for people (in the community) to realize who lives among them,” he said.

The event included an opportunity to chat with authors, to view and purchase their books, and to listen to educational panels, and a keynote address by former member of Congress Steve Israel, the author of two books.

Local authors Dan Mariani and Mike Mattel participated in the event.

Mariani’s table was set with copies of his post-apocalyptic novel, “The Road to Chapultepec Park,” which he wrote around two and a half years ago. “(The book) is also classified as ‘cli-fi,’ climate change science fiction,” Mariani said.

“It’s a story about a man and a dog and how they survive a global cooling event: an ice age in the near future.”

Mariani said that promotional events like the author’s fair are an integral part of how he promotes his work. “Events like this help us get the word out. In my case, it’s a paperback and an e-book,” he said. “We get to network with other authors… and we get an opportunity to talk directly to the public. It’s always good to get feedback, both positive and negative.”

Mattel, who was promoting his book of short stories, poetry, and song lyrics called “What Was I Thinking?” echoed Mariani’s sentiments. “We get to network with people, we meet people,” Mattel said, “and by word of mouth, (our work) can spread.”

Vickie Maxey, a friend of one of the authors featured at the event, said she came to the event to explore the genres displayed at each table. Lauren Artus, a friend of Maxey, said that this is not her first time at an event sponsored by Long

Island Authors Group. “We’ve been to other book fairs and we re-ally enjoyed it, so we wanted to check this out again,” she said.

William Cullen ‘Meet the Ministry’ event Bryant’s 225th Join us at Cedarmere for a reading by Willa Carroll, a contemporary American poet, honoring Bryant, America’s earliest and most popular poet on Sunday, May 19 at 2 p.m.

A party with refreshments celebrating his 225th birthday will follow. Cedarmere, Bryant’s beautiful home and gardens, a Nassau County Park and Museum, is located at 225 Bryant Avenue, Roslyn Harbor, NY 11576.

This event sponsored by the Friends of Cedarmere inaugurates the tenth year of readings by outstanding American poets. It is free and open to the public as are Bryant’s beautiful gardens and pond on Long Island’s Hempstead Harbor.

A voluntary contribution is suggested to help support the restoration of this nationally important historic site and the poetry series.

Willa Carroll will read from “Nerve Chorus,” her acclaimed first book, one of Entropy Magazine’s Best Poetry Book of 2018 and a Small Press Best Seller. A finalist for The Georgia Poetry Prize, she was a winner of the Tupelo Quarterly’s TQ7 Poetry Prize and Narrative Magazine’s Third Annual Poetry Contest. Video readings of her poems are featured on “Narrative Outloud.”

G.N. residents deserve some respect

M

ayor Bral and Board of Trustees: Let’s talk about disrespect.

We, the people, see disrespect when our mayor turns a blind eye and refuses to acknowledge two years of unsightly, leaking garbage on residential streets.

Residents in the Baker Hill vicinity are long overdue for a new village sanitation truck. We wonder how you can consider a leadership role of a more complex nature when the day-to-day functions of running a village and the public’s health and hygiene fail to concern you.

We, the people, see disrespect when an elected leader excludes the majority of residents from the initial process to redevelop and rezone the community in which we live.

From the start, residents requested you gather their input first — but you refused — in favor of the consultants. The controversial Citizens Advisory Com-

mittee was hand-picked by you, consisting of only two ordinary citizens out of seven members.

You discouraged residents from taking part by requiring related experience. You denied access to a community advocate/attorney who wished to observe committee meetings. How surprising was it that the remaining members had professional ties to real estate and development?

Could these combined forces be the reason why much of our village is currently for sale? Our village is a prime example of development gone wrong.

How can we trust you?

We, the people, see disrespect to the history and continuity of this village when you act in isolation — swapping out and relocating our Village Hall — in exchange for a sweetheart deal with developers. Prioritizing the wants of the developers over the needs of the residents. Operating in a veil of secrecy.

Divisiveness was guaranteed

the moment you made the decision to exclude the majority of residents from your plans for our future.

Instead of the comprehensive presentation all village residents deserved, the consultant’s presentation was devoid of details.

It was an extremely limited overview and an insult to our intelligence.

The Board of Trustees should never have been allowed to be the lead agency for the environmental impact study. No surprise, they checked off a resounding NO in every category from impact to traffic, to our water supply, to our excellent public-school system.

How can we trust you?

With an insufficient presentation, you asked us to read the consultants’ plans online and come back to you with questions.

You never indicated the plans were 107 pages long — the environmental impact study was 237 pages long. You were counting on village residents being put off

by the sheer volume of a highly technical document. But one female resident read through it all and discovered that your agenda was unlimited, unprecedented power of Middle Neck Road and East Shore Road — with zero accountability. Under these plans, you would be free to bring the businesses and activities of your choice to our community.

Any resident who favors the current development plans is a resident who has not taken the time to read over 340 technical pages.

The developers, and the developers alone, benefit from your unlimited power and they are already buying up our Village — brick by brick — parcel by parcel — sub-division by sub-division.

We cannot trust you.

How can you regain the public’s trust?

It would help if you reconsider how you interact with residents at your Board of Trustees meetings. Welcoming public

comment at the start — and not the end — of board meetings is a solid first step. The second step must be the elimination of hostility and bullying toward residents who challenge you.

And please, do not be so casual with your use of the dreaded phrases anti-Semitism or religious persecution. Let’s please save those words for when it is appropriate. And not when you seek to silence a Jewish resident who is challenging you at a public meeting.

Many residents who come to Village Hall for the first time — especially women and seniors — choose never to return for the second time — because the atmosphere is so hostile. As an elected leader, it is your responsibility to create a safe environment — for all residents even in their opposition.

A very surprising number of voters

T

his past Tuesday, late in the afternoon, I was at our Port Library to vote on the proposed library budget for next year and also to vote for a new library trustee.

I won’t hold you in suspense. I voted yes for the proposed budget and for Matthew Straus for trustee. I was the 460th resident to vote, according to a numbered sheet that one of the ladies at the voting table showed me, as I was signing in.

As I was signing in, I noticed that there were two other very large sign-in books on the table, beside the one that I was signing in on. These three books contain the names and addresses of all the registered voters in Port Washington. I guess that means that there is a voting district called Port Washington, because for sure there is no town, city or village of Port Washington in New York. There is, however, a hamlet of Port Washington in this state and I live in that hamlet.

I asked the lady in charge of the table if she knew how many registered voters there were in Port Washington. She said that she didn’t, but that in each of the three very large voter registration books, there was a page in it, indicating how many names, with

addresses, there were in that book. She said that while I was away from the table voting, she would find those three pages and then would let me know what the grand total was of all registered voters in Port Washington. She did that and the figure that she gave me was 22,400. I think that she rounded the actual total a bit, but I was nevertheless very surprised by that figure. I, of course, thanked her very much for her efforts.

I believe that the population of Port Washington numbers somewhere between 32,000 and 33,000 (that’s the hamlet, 15,847, plus the populations of the four incorporated villages that are completely within our school district and our postal zip code, and plus the population of that portion of the Village of Flower Hill that is also within the Port school district and the Port postal zip code). Let’s call the population, 32,500. I’ve always guesstimated that the number of registered voters included in the maybe 32,500 inhabitants might be 14,500 to 15,500, so I was stunned when the in-charge lady told me that the number was 22,400.

If the figure of 22,400 is reasonably accurate, why is it

meaningful? It’s very meaningful in connection with our school budget votes and also the voting for our school board trustees. Historically, voter turnouts for most school district votes on Long Island have been pathetically low.

A turnout of 5 percent to 10 percent of registered voters may be the norm. Why is it so low?

Because the voters know that the budgets are rigged, so why bother to vote? However, here in Port, we’ve thought for years that our voter turnouts for school district votes were better than “pathetic” because we believe that Port Washington is a community of well-educated and informed residents, many of whom are also community activists.

But have our voter turnouts for school district votes really been better than “pathetic”? Last May, 2,256 votes were cast for the proposed budget (yes, 1,807, no, 449). That’s a voter turnout of 10.1 percent, if there really are 22,400 registered voters here in Port. I would say that 10.1 percent certainly is a pathetic voter turnout and I know also that such a low turnout is much to the liking of our school officials.

Our school officials know that if they can get 1,500 to 2,000 PTA-HSA mothers to come out

and vote, then any budget that they propose will easily be approved of. How many Port mothers turned out to vote last May? I would say that at least 1,653 did, since that’s the number of votes that were cast for Nora Johnson, to retain her seat (see below). As I’ve explained in previous messages, our school officials do everything possible to discourage voters from voting and to ensure a low voter turnout.

As for voting for school board trustees, let’s look at last year.

Last May, three sitting school board members ran unopposed to retain their seats. Nora Johnson, our school board’s vice president, won 1,653 votes, the highest number of votes garnered by any of the incumbents who were running. That’s 7.4 percent of the registered voters in Port Washington. Worse is that the proposed school budget was approved of by only 8.0 percent of Port Washington’s registered voters. Pathetic is not the word to describe the results of our voting process. Can you imagine it? Our school district is being administered by people who receive 7.4 percent and LESS, of the possible votes from residents of Port Washington who can determine who administers our school dis-

trict. It’s pathetic and it’s terribly undemocratic. It borders on the autocratic/despotic.

There is a message here for anyone who is now running for a seat on our school board and who has not been chosen by our Parent’s Council to sit on the board (not been chosen is someone who is not a PTA or HSA caring mother). If you are serious about trying to be elected next month to serve on our school board, then you had better get going now to find a way to energize the vast majority of registered voters in Port Washington to come out and vote for you next month.

Otherwise, you are just wasting your time and energies. You will need a serious and effective election campaign to win a seat on our school board and you must start that campaign — now.

Otherwise, you will be swamped by the two handpicked mothers who have been chosen by the Parent’s Council to fill seats on our school board. The PTA-HSA mothers are manning their phone banks now, demanding that you, a threat to budget spending, must not be elected to our school board.

More of Trump’s many accomplishments

I

have written two letters during the past several months. They expressed my gratitude towards President Trump. I thought them to be relatively anodyne. I am now receiving threats. Let it be known that I will write what I want, when I want. Too bad if it does not suit your ideology.

I am writing this letter in response to Dr. Hal Sobel’s missive in the April 5 issue.

Sobel begins by mocking the 48 reasons for my gratitude to have Trump as my president.

A list of unsubstantiated invectives is then offered, finishing with the fact that Trump is mentally unstable. I wonder what kind of license Sobel has? Is he a psychiatrist qualified to make such a diagnosis? Trump made a fortune that began with building in Manhattan. He had to deal with corrupt politicians, Mafia-infested construction unions, and phony environmental extortionist fronts to get any project accomplished.

This is not the resume of a mentally unstable man. Just ask Jeff Bezos what it takes to navigate the political terrain in New York City.

Sobel then cites the Bush family and John McCain as sources for his character assassination. What makes them the ultimate authorities on character? They are RINOs. Victor Davis Hanson, Dinesh D’Souza, and Josh Bernstein have a little more intellectual heft than the above. They think Trump’s personality attributes are just what is needed in a president at the present time.

Trump did not hijack the Republican Party. He crushed 15 very-well-qualified candidates in the primaries and ran the table on the “blue wall.”

He won because of the promises he made. A recent liberal columnist said that when it comes to keeping campaign promises, Trump is the most honest president in our history. I concur.

Sobel attempts to “refute” some of my reasons. While I cited 48 reasons, Sobel attempts to refute three. He cites Trump not taking his

salary, the predations of pay day lenders regulated by the Consume Financial Protection Bureau, and the rollout of the Dodd Frank bill. Since there is no 5G in New York, I will attempt this calculation on my old 4G iPhone. Let’s see. 483=45. Hey! 45 unrefuted reasons. I think that leaves room for plenty of gratitude. 45-3.

I must also say that of the 48, Sobel has picked three of the most inconsequential ones.

Not very impressive. But since I did mention them, I should answer the charges. Trump did not take his presidential salary. For that I have gratitude.

Period. Therefore, not refuted.

More on this at the end. 46-2.

Pay day lenders are a necessary service in poor communities. The Wall Street Journal explicitly supports them. Are some of them rapacious? Sure.

But many do the best they can.

They have to make a profit in a very competitive industry. If people have poor credit, then they should expect to pay higher rates of interest. That is the way you can compensate for the defaults. If Sobel knows how to lend to the poor at lower interest rates, he should open up one himself.

He would make a fortune as everyone would flock to his establishment. Throw the pay day lenders out of business and they will be replaced by underworld loan sharks. Is that an improvement? 47-1.

The jury is not out on the rollback of the Dodd Frank Bill. That is why dozens of Democrats voted for the rollback. It was a horrible bill that hurt small and medium-sized banks that had nothing to do with the financial crisis. The regulations had cut off the flow of credit to many Americans who depended on smaller banks for business and personal loans. Our economic growth is mostly owed to small, vibrant, businesses. Dodd Frank is one reason we had eight years of Obama with not even one year of 3 percent growth — something that never happened in our history. 48-0.

The rest of Sobel’s letter makes reference to Trump’s taxes, Trump’s hotels, the

emoluments clause, big money donors, destruction of the environment, abandonment of Puerto Rico, child separated families, profanity and partisanship. Absolutely none of this was mentioned in my letters. I would have to speak to these another time. As with the three previous “refutations,” most hold no water.

For example, let’s talk about the $20 million in hotel revenues. Trump pledged to send all profits earned from foreign dignitaries lodged at this hotel to the U.S. Treasury. He kept that promise and sent a check for $191,000 to the U.S Treasury for the year 2018. Wait a second! I did not even think of that one. Trump pledged all government-linked profits from his hotel. That deserves my gratitude. Thanks for reminding me, Sobel. In your honor, I will call that the Sobel 49th.

Another example is in regards to his $54 million in donations from wealthy donors.

That was nothing compared to Hillary Clinton who spent about $1 billion on her campaign.

As an aside, I would like to add that if corruption is of concern to any of my North Hempstead neighbors, they might want to check out youtube.com. In the search box, type in “Sundays with Charles.” Charles Ortel has a show every Sunday running about two hours in length. He has done over 100 shows to date. The subject is the prodigious evil and illegalities of The Clinton Foundation, The Clinton Global Initiative, and the Clinton Health Care Initiative. You have over 200 hours of thoroughly documented, forensic accounting by someone who spent a lifetime in the financial world. We are talking about a possible $1 or $2 billion-dollar scam over a couple of decades. So please spare me the worries about Trump emoluments. If they are anything, then they are rounding errors.

FDNY member killed in Afghanistan

I

was sad to read about the death of Christopher Slutman, a Marine and FDNY member killed with three other U.S. service members by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan.

He was a brave Marine, fireman and a good husband, father and son as reported.

Slutman gave his all in all he had undertaken for the

good of the many with love and dedication. As such my heartfelt prayers go out to his family, friends, fellow Marines, firefighters, and the communities in which he served.

R.I.P. Christopher Slutman for a life well-lived for others.

You get the trend.

What will be allowed is: One no Pelosi, two no Schumer,

If you violate these new rules, The FBI and the DOJ people that tried to destroy the Trump presidency will come after you.

BDS is anti-Semitism, nothing less

I

n the April 5 issue, James Ansel questions whether the BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement is anti-Semitic in nature. It certainly is! Ansel doesn’t realize how anti-Semitic he reveals himself to be in his letter.

Israel is the only Jewish country in the world, and the only true democracy in the Middle East. BDS is designed to economically destroy the state of Israel.

It is one thing to criticize

the policies of Israel, even half of Israelis criticize their government. But it not acceptable for the BDS movement to try to destroy the Jewish state, exactly as Hamas states it wants to destroy the Jewish state.

Ansel does not know the history of how Israel acquired all of Jerusalem and Judea and Sumeria (the West Bank).

In 1967, as Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, were fighting against Israel in the Six-Day

War, Prime Minister Golda Meir called King Hussein of Jordan and told him he should stay out of the war.

But King Hussein felt pressured by the other Arab countries to join them in the attack against Israel. When Jordanian forces entered Israel and attacked, Israeli forces pushed them back, and took over the rest of Jerusalem and the West Bank. Many Palestinians left the West Bank, now controlled

by Israel, and entered Jordan.

The Palestinians then tried to assassinate King Hussein multiple times but failed. They wanted to take over Jordan. In September 1970, a full-blown war between the Palestinians, led by Yasser Arafat, and Jordanian forces, left thousands of people dead. It was known as “Black September.”

Jordan owned the West Bank prior to the Six-Day War. Jordan does not want the land nor the Palestinians back. Jordan accepts the fact that Is-

rael owns the land of the West Bank. The Palestinians never owned that land.

As for the UN sanctioning Israel many times, UN Ambassador Nikki Haley threatened the UN countries to stop irrationally criticizing Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East, and to stop demonstrating its anti-Semitic character.

VIEW POINT

Trump clueless value of immigrants Continued from Page 17 • In 2017, close to 1.3 million DACA-eligible people lived in the U.S. • DACA-eligible residents earned $23.4 billion in total income in 2017, paying $2.2 billion in federal taxes and $1.8 billion in state and local taxes, leaving nearly $19.4 billion in spending power.

• More than 43,000 DACAeligible residents were entrepreneurs in 2017, providing jobs for American workers and supporting local economies.

• In 2017, there were more than 318,000 immigrants with Temporary Protected Status.

• TPS holders earned almost $7.3 billion in 2017, paying $891 million in federal taxes and an additional $654 million in state and local taxes. They held nearly $5.8 billion in spending power.

Trump’s anti-immigration policies might have resonated during periods of high unemployment,5rr5r54 xddds but that is not the case now.

The New York Times reported: “’The recent shortage of

immigrant workers is impacting housing and housing affordability,” said Jerry Howard, chief executive of the National Association of Home Builders. Phil Crone, who runs the association’s Dallas chapter, said the labor bottleneck was adding about $6,000 to the cost of every home built in the area and delaying completion by two months.

“Were it not for immigrants, the labor crunch would be even more intense. In 2016, immigrants accounted for one in four construction workers, according

to a study by Natalia Siniavskaia of the home builders’ association, up from about one in five in 2004. In some of the least-skilled jobs — like plastering, roofing and hanging drywall, for which workers rarely have more than a high school education — the share of immigrants hovers around half.” (“Short of Workers, U.S. Builders and Farmers Crave More Immigrants,” April 3, 2019.)

Meanwhile, New York state, in contrast to the Trump administration, is moving in the right direction: New York state passed its own DREAM Act, which differs from the federal DACA program (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals). It allows for tuition assistance for undocumented immigrants who attended high school in New York and graduated with a diploma or obtained an equivalency diploma. Families who have

a taxpayer identification number will be allowed to save for tuition under NY’s 529 College Savings Program.

The state budget includes a measure to protect immigrants from deportation following a minor interaction with the criminal justice system, by reducing the maximum sentence for misdemeanors by one day, from 365 to 364 days. Under federal law, any immigrant who is convicted of a crime punishable by a sentence of a year or more may be deported, even if the individual ultimately receives a lesser sentence.

The state budget provides $10 million to support the expansion of the “first-in-the-nation” Liberty Defense Project, which provides vital legal services to immigrants and communities targeted by harsh federal immigration policies.

Why millennials can’t buy 1st homes I have been doing a lot of reading lately about the increase in the percentage of millennials (the largest generation of potential purchasers in the history of the U.S.) that are living at home in the U.S. According to Business Insider magazine, and I quote: Nearly one in three millennials lives in their parents’ home.

The U.S. Census Bureau recently released a study on how young adulthood has changed between the 1970s and today.

One of the main topics covered in the study was living situations.

In 1975, a 57 percent majority of young adults aged 1834 lived with a spouse, while just 26 percent of adults lived in their parents’ home. In 2016, only 27 percent of young adults lived with a spouse, while the proportion of 18-34 year olds living with their parents went up to 31 percent, becoming the most common living situation.

There are a number of reasons why this current trend is increasing and causing many millennials not to be able to purchase their first home, and I quote Zack Friedman, senior contributor to Fortune magazine: 1. Student loan debt (44 million individuals strapped with $1.5 trillion loans).

2. Rising housing costs and lack of affordability are outpacing stagnant and lackluster wages.

3. Some 8 percent (one fifth of millennials) of borrowers for a home are denied due to lower than normal credit scores as well as too high debt/income ratios and also due to late or non-payments on student loans and credit cards as per the National Association of Realtors.

4. Some 83 percent of people 22 to 35 years of age with student debt (average amount owed $30,000 as per http:// www.studentloanhero.com and one fifth owe $100,000+ have not been able to save and buy their first home as per the National Association of Realtors (http://www. nar.com). Most importantly, these loans, which decrease F.I.C.O. (Fair Isaac Company) scores also making saving, next to impossible.

5. For every $1,000 increase in student debt, lowered the chances of homeownership one to two percentage points,

during the first five years after their college education (as per three analysts, Alvaro Mezza, Daniel Ringo and Kamila Sommer, from the Federal Reserve division of research and statistics quoted from The Mortgage News Daily Newswire (http://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com) 2/5/19 as per columnist, Jann Swanson Although our economy is very strong (but not for everyone), 85 percent of student loan borrowers say, they are having great difficulty in saving for a home, and is forcing many to live or go back living with their mom or parents and delay their purchase, so they can save up more money for a down payment, as per the National Association of Realtors.

Homeownership peaked in 2005 at 69 percent (45 percent of millennials 24-32 owned their homes) and then decreased to 36 percent, mainly due to the heavy debt burden of their student loans). This was the greatest drop among young adults to date.

The majority of banks wanted debt/income ratios (student plus housing loans) to be at or below 36 percent, unless you were a doctor or pro-

fessional with a higher income potential or living in higher cost areas, where they would push the debt/income higher, as needed. More millennials are leaving urban areas where salaries tend to be lower to the cities or areas with higher potential earnings.

According to Annie Nova on the personal finance team at CNBC in May of 2018, in the fifty larges metro areas, of 24-36 year olds, 23 percent lived with mom up from 13.5 percent in 2005. According to the Brookings Institute forty percent of student loans will be in default by 2023, if something drastic is not done today!

Congress and the Senate need

to devise some type of plan and partial solution as soon as possible, leading to lessoning the burden that these student loans have on those trying to save and purchase their first home. If not our housing market will slow down much faster without those new buyers and potentially lead to a much slower economy and will affect other related industries to slow too.

Parents with any type of money to assist their children should do so since we aren’t taking anything with us! (you can give $14,000 per child per year as a gift, tax-free, refer to your accountant for more advice) Here are some ideas to help millennials begin down the path of purchasing their first home: According to Make Lemonade, (makelemonade.com how to build your credit scores) the best way to build credit is to understand that your credit score – particularly your FICO (created by the Fair Isaac Company) score – is based on the following components: 1. Payment history = 35 percent 2. Credit utilization = 30 percent 3. Account age = 15 percent 4. Inquiries = 10 percent

5. Credit Mix = 10 percent A higher credit score can score your better rates on credit cards, private student loans, student loan refinancing, mortgages, auto loans and much more.

Lastly, years ago and even today, many went out and took on a second and even third job (as many immigrants do today!).

So if you want that “picket fence”, homeowner association condo, or co-op then go secure another job or two to earn additional money to get out of your parents home. Just do it.

Public raises teacher contract concerns Continued from Page 20 kind of action [was needed] because we feel disrespected, devalued and demoralized,” she said. It has been 10 months [since the contract expired], and “members felt that the message needs to go out,” she added.

“I didn’t want to do this,” she said, but “morale has plummeted. This has never happened in this district. Why are we being treated this way? This is one of the top [school] districts in the nation,” Degliomini said.

The board announced at the March 28 meeting that of the 10 Herricks students who are National Merit Scholarship finalists, two are winners.

A formal announcement releasing their names will be made in May. In other business, Celano thanked Madeline Svitak for her service as co-president of the Herricks District Council of PTAs. She is finishing a twoyear term in the office and will be succeeded by Rosemarie Polo. Michelle Haller will continue to serve as the other co-president.

The council is the umbrella organization for all of the PTA units in the district.

A budget hearing will be held at the May 9 meeting. The budget vote is May 21.

Herricks schools Superintendent Fino Celano speaks with a parent after Tuesday’s board meeting.

Heights hit in dumping operation Northwell Continued from Page 1 ment facility without a permit. Williams was charged with transportation of solid waste without authorization and criminal facilitation.

Modern Leasing also faces charges.

Heights School was the only school where investigators found an illegal dumping site. Four of the locations were commercial and 24 were residential. Only three were in Nassau County.

Six of the sites had acutely hazardous substances and 17 had hazardous substances, according to the Suffolk County district attorney’s office.

It was not until March that the Roslyn school district informed the community that the incident had occurred.

“The district was only indirectly and briefly involved in this matter, but because we have been informed that our instance is part of a wider investigation that may soon be made public, I wanted to take the opportunity to explain exactly what happened as it applies to the district

and to allay any concerns for our community in that regard,” Superintendent Allison Brown wrote in the notice.

Newsday published an investigation into the operation, including a story about the incident in Roslyn, on Sunday.

The school district does not know why it was targeted, Edelson said.

“We have no idea,” he said. “We don’t know if it was random or if they were looking for a spot that was off the beaten path where they might not be seen.

We just don’t know. As far as we’re concerned, that stuff showed up, we tested it, we took precautions, we got rid of it.”

At the time, the school, which teaches pre-kindergarten through first grade, was undergoing renovations.

The man at the center of the operation was Anthony Grazio, known as “Rock,” who coordinated the locations for the dumping, according to officials. One way he tried to find dumping sites was through Craigslist, where he posted offering free fill and free delivery. The opera-

tion circumvented fees that legal dumping sites require.

“Rock and the owners or operators of the trucking companies would discuss residential and commercial sites and the amount of material that could be dumped at a particular site,” Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy Sini said in a news release. “The bigger the property, the better for the defendants, as this scam was all about making money. When an ideal property was found, Grazio could often be heard directing his co-conspirators to ‘hit it hard.’”

Investigators used both electronic and physical surveillance to crack the case, officials said.

“It seemed like such a singular event, but obviously now that we know that such things are going on … certainly our contractors and construction managers and our own staff will be much more alert for anything like this in the future,” Edelson said.

Bow Tie theaters sit movie-less Continued from Page 1 the theater and was told that it would reopen Friday, said Umberto’s host Tiffany Xelas.

“They put up some movie times and things like that,” she said.

Business owners around the Roslyn theater are less sure of its status and members of both the Manhasset and Roslyn Chambers of Commerce were also in the dark.

Efforts to reach Paul Bloom, the attorney for the new owners, were unavailing.

At a December meeting with the Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations, Bloom said that the Manhasset Bow Tie was not financially viable exactly as bought. That does not guarantee that it will no longer remain a movie theater, but the space and use will have to be at least partially modified, he said.

“I think that everybody was hopeful that they would do something cultural or community oriented with the space, but I haven’t heard one way or another,” said Stephanie Solomon, co-president of the

Manhasset Chamber of Commerce.

She found out the theater was closed through reading a conversation on Facebook, she said.

Great Neck’s Squire Theater was leased to MovieWorld earlier this month.

The new management plans to upgrade the theater with recliner seats and snack bar menu items, said Russell Levinson, a MovieWorld managing partner.

Port Washington’s Bow Tie Cinemas closed more than a year ago.

Smith, the executive director of the Friedman Center and director of reconstructive oncology at Northwell’s Cancer Institute. “We know patients feel nervous and overwhelmed when they come in either before or after a mastectomy. We’ve created a serene and nurturing environment to help women make the best medical decisions during a stressful time.”

Smith is joined by four plastic reconstructive surgeons: Adam Perry, the chief of plastic surgery at Southside Hospital; Armen Kasabian, system chief of plastic surgery and the associate chair of surgery at Northwell Health, and Victor Andres Moon, who have both worked as plastic surgeons at 600 Northern Blvd. in Suite 309; and Neil Tanna, the chief of plastic surgery at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills.

“Being part of a large health system with experts in every area of breast cancer treatment allows us to fully evaluate complex conditions and provide seamless patient care,” Smith said.

Fixtures Munsey Park approves cell node leave Willis Ave. center Continued from Page 2 In February, the owners warned the three remaining mom-and-pop shops of impending renovations in their spaces and rent hikes that would follow, tenants said.

“It was always in the back of our minds that change could be coming,” Lanza said. “There’s never the right time, but yes I did have that.”

Namy Tyo, who owns Joven Cleaners, said her customers were concerned about the future of their trusty dry cleaner but relieved when Joven Cleaners found a new space nearby.

She’s seen her customers’ children grow up before her eyes, she said.

Now, her customers have made flyers to spread the news about the new location, she said.

“They’re all chipping in and trying to spread the word to their neighbors and their friends because they’re so excited that I found a place that’s local,” she said.

The shopping center provided a community-living environment, Lanza said, where customers were able to multitask. Having a solo building will be a new chapter.

“There’s comfort in numbers, but we’re excited about being in a freestanding building as well with our own parking and our own space,” she said.

Jack said that increased rent is a concern, but also part of the negotiations that are still pending. Olive Market has been in the center for 25 years.

He owns it with his father.

“It’s not easy to change locations when you already have a good location … but if the setting is not right, you’ve got to move on,” he said.

Continued from Page 24 the board’s first since Lawrence Ceriello was elected mayor and Joseph Williams was elected to fill his trustee seat.

The purpose of the node is to fill a gap in cellular coverage in the village, company representatives said.

To accommodate the node, the existing flagpole will be replaced with one that is at least 50 feet high.

There is currently a cell node in the Congregational Church of Manhasset steeple, which is a “macro site,” meaning it provides wider coverage. The flagpole location would be a micro site, said Richard Lambert Jr., ExteNet’s regional manager for external relations.

The purpose of adding a micro site is to provide an additional cellular source that can support high demand.

“Think of it as a highway out here,” Lambert said. “You have coverage so the highway gets to you. In other words, the macro site gets to you. However, in high peak times it’s slow.”

The issue of coverage in the village arose when Verizon approached ExteNet, said Christopher Frederick, senior radio

frequency design engineer.

ExteNet studied the village and tried to avoid placing the node directly in front of a home.

Munsey Park does not have the right to block a company from placing a node in the village due to Federal Communications Commission regulations.

Last year, ExteNet sued the village when it did not act upon its application to construct a node. It dropped the lawsuit in August, and in December Trustee Anthony Sabino said the two parties were working in a “spirit of cooperation” to install the node.

Deputy Mayor Jennifer Noone was the sole vote against granting the permit and said she was aware of the federal requirements when she voted.

“I would not want a node placed by my home. Therefore I voted no so I would not put my constituents in that position,” she wrote in an email. “As a village, our hands are tied by federal regulation, but I had to express my dissent.”

The reason for her dissent is concern about health effects from exposure to such devices, she said.

The maximum exposure from this particular node would be less than 1 percent of the FCC limits, said Kenneth Foster, a bioengineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania, who attended the meeting on ExteNet’s behalf.

“My opinion, as well as those of health agencies, is that exposures at levels below international limits have no identified hazard, and that’s certainly the case here,” Foster said. “The exposures here are very far below.”

ExteNet is also looking to place 18 cell nodes in the neighboring Village of Flower Hill. Those nodes are up for a vote on May 6.

The node’s positioning in Munsey Park is dependent on the positioning of those neighboring it in Flower Hill.

Should the planned positioning for those nodes change, the positioning of Munsey Park’s might have to change too, Frederick said.

“We may end up having to come back to you and say we don’t need this node anymore or we have to move it somewhere else,” he said. “Now it’s in conflict with the adjacent node.”

Frost leaves legacy of restoration Continued from Page 12 for the rest of his life.

Afterward, he graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in architecture. Frost met Donna Dussault while at school, and they married on Memorial Day in 1959.

Without Frost, many iconic buildings around Roslyn and North Hempstead would not be here today. He was also a member of North Hempstead’s Historic Landmarks Preservation Commission and worked to restore structures there for many years.

“He was a champion of underdogs.

He loved to take on a cause,” said Jessica Frost.

Howard Kroplick, president of the Roslyn Landmark Society, spent extensive time working with Frost as a fellow member of the commission. Kroplick praised Frost for his dedication to preserving history.

“He was a great historian, and really helped to preserve the landmarks,” said Kroplick. “He was overall a really good guy.”

Frost did not just work toward preserving history in the form of buildings.

As a member of the Sports Car Club of America, motor sports enthusiast and a founder of the Bridgehampton Racing Heritage Group, Frost also spent a lot of effort keeping the memory of racing alive on Long Island. From 2004 to 2010, he organized centennial celebrations for the Vanderbilt Cup Races in Roslyn Harbor and Garden City.

“It was an honor for me to assist Guy on these celebrations and serve with him for six years on the commission,” said Kroplick.

This followed many years of trying to save the Bridgehampton Raceway, a wellknown race track in Bridgehampton and one of Frost’s favorite places.

“He had a way of charming people into doing things that were a little out of the ordinary,” Jessica Frost said. “He used the power of sentiment to get things done.”

A devoted husband and father of three, Frost brought home the same mentality that he held at work.

“He was a very active, very adventurous man,” said Jessica Frost. “He brought a lot of that to the table for my mom. He encouraged and promoted her as much as he did his kids.”

In addition to his daughter Jessica, Guy Frost is survived by Donna, his wife of 59 years, his children Erica (Ronald) French and Christopher (Kimberle) Frost, and five grandchildren.

A celebration of Frost’s life as well as a memorial service will be held at the William Cullen Bryant Library in Roslyn on Saturday from noon to 2 p.m.

Continued from Page 4 moment of anticipated growth where the revenue was even more significant than we thought,” Novick said.

In recent years the village upgraded its water infrastructure, which caused deficits, he said.

“That 50-year catch up was very extensive,” he said.

With interest going up on water bonds

he said he is anticipating a $400,000 deficit in the Water Department.

The village will continue to invest in upgrading its roads and also plans to plant new trees and consider purchasing license plate readers for the Police Department in the coming year, the board members said.

In a separate matter, the assessment pursuant to the State Environmental

Quality Review Act for proposed changes at the Lubavitch of Old Westbury determined that there is the potential for significant environmental impacts. The board adopted a resolution of positive declaration under the environmental act and a determination of significance.

The Lubavitch is now required to study the issues that arose by creating an environmental impact statement.

Inisfada on market for $110M Old Westbury passes $15M budget

Continued from Page 2 “It’s convenient, it’s safe, it’s really one of the best locations I’ve ever seen or seen at least in the last decade or so,” he said.

The site falls within the Manhasset school district and is on the Port Washington Long Island Rail Road line.

As for the $73.5 million jump in the price from what Manhasset Bay Group paid, Friedman said it was partly due to the application in progress with the village and partly to increases in Manhasset’s real estate market.

OUR TOWN

Tiger’s victory offers success lessons This week Tiger Woods made his return to the top of golf by winning the 2018 Masters. This is his 15th major championship and has been described as the most remarkable comeback in sports history.

You may not follow golf, but you surely are familiar with the name Tiger Woods. He is Sports’ first billionaire and also was the guy who was on the front page of the New Yoerk Post 20 days in a row during his sex scandal.

The Masters is arguably the most important golf tournament of the year and the fact that Woods was able to win this event is something worth talking about and most believed this would never happen. His woes began following his win at the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines in 2008. During that event he played on a broken leg, but this was followed by 10 years of public and private pain due to four back surgeries, the chipping yips, a major scandal concerning sex addiction, the loss of nearly all of his corporate sponsors, a divorce, drunk driving arrests, and rehab stays.

And after all that this guy made it back to the top of the PGA at the age of 43. Golf Channel commentators kept referring to the “Tiger Effect,”

fan watching them which is the impact he with the exception of has on those who play one guy. All the specin his foursome. On tators were huddled this final day, he was behind one player trypaired with Francesco ing to get a glimpse. I Molinari, referred to slowly inched my way as “the Italian Metroup to the front, where nome” because he is so I got my first expericonsistent and also the ence of Tiger Woods best golfer ever prohitting one perfect duced by Italy. Lurking shot after another in the back were the DR. TOM FERRARO and with hundreds best golfers on Earth, Our Town of fans watching in including Brooks Kosilent amazement at epka, Dustin Johnson, Tony Finau, Jon Rahm, Jason Day and the sight of this.

His swing and the ball flight were Xander Schauffele.

So exactly what is the “Tiger Ef- something I had never seen before. fect?” Does he really mesmerize his And when he left the range to return opponents? I think the actual source to the club house, he had to have been of this palpable, impactful, psycholog- encircled by a contingent of eight seically devastating effect comes directly curity guards, which slowly led him from his adoring fans, who happen to through the throngs of adoring fans be the large majority of fans at any yelling his name. I understood that in no way was this an ordinary player tournament Tiger Woods plays in.

As an example, I recall many years and how difficult it must have been to ago when I covered the Westchester manage such adoration. It has always Classic where Tiger Woods was play- been my contention that his 10-year ing. When I arrived, I immediately injury and scandal-ridden slump was went to the driving range and could self-induced in order to have a hiatus not believe what I witnessed. The from all that love and admiration.

During the Sunday round at the range had more than 75 players hitting shots to warm up with not a single Masters the “Tiger Effect” was on full display. Francesco Molinari would hit a wonderful 10-foot curving putt on those slick Augusta greens and when the ball dropped into the center of the cup, it was greeted with deafening silence. When Tiger Woods made a similar putt on that or any other hole, he was greeted with a roar from the crowd that literally shook the ground.

Guys like Brooks Koepka or Molinari are trained and hardened professionals yet it is difficult to ignore both the roars for Tiger and the silence that follows their shots. I treat athletes, actors and musicians and I have learned that one of the chief sources of stage fright is that a performance will be

alone

met with audience silence. And that’s just what the “Tiger Effect” is. I would recommend to his opponents that they wear earplugs when they play against him.

Tiger Woods is comparable to icons like Marilyn Monroe in film, Michael Jordan in basketball, Mikhail Baryshnikov in dance or Michael Jackson in music. These are the ones who have achieved perfection through a combination of God-given talent, hard work ethic, unquenchable drive and the brains to enlist support from others. Perfection and domination in their chosen field is an extraordinary thing to see and it is why so many fans follow Woods.

I have talked to and I have observed Tiger Woods and have felt his charm, his charisma and his tangible power. He gave the public a hint of where all his power comes from during a candid TV interview on the Saturday night prior to the Sunday finals.

He was asked how he would be preparing for his early 9:20 a.m. tee time on Sunday. He casually remarked with a smile, “I will be getting up at 3:45 a.m. and go through my golf preparations in the gym with my trainers.

It takes some time to warm up this old body.” All the while his competitors were snoozing comfortably under the sheets dreaming of victory, Tiger Woods was in the gym getting stretched and exercised with his team of trainers and coaches.

So if you happen to desire great fame or great love or a great deal of money, the answer is found by studying Tiger Woods. All you need to do is have the willingness to work endlessly hard for four decades, keep a team of support in place and voila, your wildest dreams will come true.

How amazing and wonderful for the sports world to witness the return of its ultimate master, the one and only Tiger Woods.

Top prize in poetry contest Herricks High School senior Joanna Lau won first place in the International Poetry of Resistance Contest, presented by the Social Justice Club. Her poem, “Between Indigo and Dawn,” was selected out of over 250 submissions from 12 different countries.

After two weeks of review from judges, the top 13 poems were sent to Slam Poetry World Champion Joaquin Zihuatanejo. He shared the following comments regarding Joanna’s entry: “Here we have a poet who realizes the unit we have to create within poetry is the line.

Their lines and line breaks are urgent and full of passion and voice. This poet even understands the concept of how a turn in the poem can be amplified by a line break as in, ‘rounds the corner and sees that the drummer is a child.’ A line that simply floors the reader.”

“Also, this poet’s diction or word choice is stellar. This poet writes like a poet who reads more than they write, like a poet who realizes there is power in what a word means and

Joint Holocaust Fun for all at All Kids Fair memorial in May This spring, three Roslyn houses of worship — Temple Beth Sholom, Temple Sinai, and Trinity Episcopal Church — will commemorate Holocaust Remembrance Day, also known in Hebrew as Yom Hashoah, through a musical program and a panel on antiSemitism that they have developed jointly.

It will feature the lighting of candles by Holocaust survivors and their descendants.

Beth Sholom’s Rabbi Alan Lucas, Sinai’s Rabbi Michael White, and Trinity’s Rector Margaret Peckham Clark will discuss the recent surge in anti-Semitic incidents around the world and the need for a united ecumenical force to combat this disturbing phenomenon.

monic Chorus, and the Nassau County Jewish Community Choir, led by Cantors Sergei and Elena Schwartz of Temple Sinai.

Sperry prepares dinner

With the clattering of pots and pans echoing across the kitchen, staff members from Sperry Associates Federal Credit Union worked to prepare dinner for 85 guests staying at the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.

First opened in New Hyde Park in 1986, the Ronald McDonald House serves as a “home-awayfrom-home” for families with sick children across the region. By providing comfort and lodging to families experiencing the pain of having a sick child in area hospitals, the House provides the parents and siblings of these children with a temporary haven in a secure and comfortable environment among other families sharing a similar burden.

“As anyone who has had a sick child will tell you, alleviation of some of the daily stresses has a big impact,” said Kevin Healy, Sperry’s chief executive officer. “By preparing this meal, we hope we were able to make things a bit easier for those

going through a difficult time. We are happy to supplement some of the incredible work that the Ronald McDonald House does on a daily basis.”

The team from Sperry lovingly prepared a multi-course meal for those staying at the House that included marinated chicken tenders, baked cheeseburger-style pasta, a fresh garden salad, and various desserts.

“We are truly grateful for the efforts of everyone from Sperry,” said Betti McClellan, director of volunteers and programs at Ronald McDonald House. “Our families always appreciate having a home-cooked meal after a long day, and we’re lucky to have such a strong network of passionate volunteers.”

LIU players invited to train with Giants Four from Post seeking to be drafted by NFL get chance after workouts on Pro Day

BY C H R I ST I A N KLIMASZEWSKI Even though football season ended in December, several LIU Post football players have been preparing to be drafted by an NFL football team. Running back Malik Pierre, wide receiver Mike Richardson, wide receiver Deon Mash, linebacker Jake Carlock, and defensive end Kevin Petit-Frere have been hard at work during the offseason in preparation for the NFL Draft.

These players earned pro day invites at Columbia University Pro Day on March 14. At their pro day, NFL coaches and scouts can see the players perform drills in their positions and test their skills in the 40-yard dash, bench press, and much more.

“I had to get two NFL scouts to recommend me to the Columbia University coach, so I could get into their pro day,” Richardson said. He ended the LIU Post football season with 778 yards, 10 touchdowns, and was named to the All NE-10 first team.

“My pro day went really well. A lot of coaches and scouts liked the way I performed and everything,” Petit-Frere said. Petit-Frere ended the season with 11.5 sacks, 53 tackles, and was named to the All-American second team. “Kevin was a monster on the field this season. It always felt like he was making a big play,” play-by-play commentator for the football team and LIU Post junior broadcasting major Jason Glickman said.

The players did very well at their pro day, earning them invites to workout with the New York Giants. “After

performing all the drills and tests, a Giants scout approached me and invited me to their local pro day on April 5,” Carlock said. Carlock ended the season with 67 tackles and 4 sacks. He made two huge plays to help his team win the NE-10 championship and was named NE-10 Defensive Player of the Year.

As for the workout with the New York Giants, each player worked on drills with his position coach. “We went on the field and did positional work, ran routes with quarterbacks, and then stayed after to catch punts,” Richardson said. He also returned punts for the Pioneers during his three years on the team. Considering Richardson, Mash, and Pierre are offensive players, they went with the offensive coaches from

the New York Giants, while Carlock and Petit-Frere went with the defensive coaches for the professional team.

“It went well. They had me do different linebacker drills to get a good look at me,” Carlock said. Carlock was able to work out as a long snapper, too.

“I felt good out there. I felt confident about the drills and my performance.”

Petit-Frere was a dominant defensive end for the Pioneers during his fouryear career in green and gold, but the New York Giants’ coaches had PetitFrere work out as an outside linebacker. “With my size, length, and everything, outside linebacker fits me well in a 3-4 defense,” Petit-Frere said. “I’d be like a stand-up defensive linebacker, but could also drop back into coverage

against tight ends, running backs, and wide receivers.”

Carlock and Petit-Frere both grew up New York Giants fans and it was a surreal moment for them to be working out with their favorite team. “I’ve been a Giants fan my whole life. Seeing the facilities and everything was just amazing. It will be something I’ll never forget,” Carlock said. For Petit-Frere, growing up, his favorite player on the New York Giants was former All-Pro and former Super Bowl Champion, defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul. “Getting to actually be where he once was and hopefully get a chance to play for them, it’s just mind blowing,” Petit-Frere said.

The New York Giants is not the only teams in contact with some of the LIU Post football players. The Indianapolis Colts and the Atlanta Falcons also contacted Petit-Frere. “My agent did speak to the Lions, Colts, 49ers, and Redskins about me after my pro day,” Richardson said.

“I was able to watch these guys week in and week out. These guys are game changers,” Glickman said. “I would not be surprised if the NFL picks up one of these guys.” The football players will have to wait and hope until the NFL Draft from April 27-April 29 to hear if their names are called and their dreams come true to be drafted in the NFL.

About Hunger and Food Insecurity on Long Island Food insecurity is a state in which people do not get enough food on a consistent basis to provide the nutrients for active and healthy lives. It can result from the recurrent lack of access to food. More than 300,000 Long Islanders face the risk of hunger every day, according to Island Harvest Food Bank and Feeding America®, a national hungerrelief organization. Those facing hunger include adults (often working two jobs), children, senior citizens, and veterans. Unable to make ends meet, they (and their children) are often forced to go without food. Approximately 70,000 individuals seek food assistance in Nassau and Suffolk counties each week through soup kitchens, food pantries and other feeding programs served by Island Harvest Food Bank.

About Island Harvest Food Bank Island Harvest Food Bank is a leading hunger-relief organization that provides food and other

resources to people in need. Always treating those it helps with dignity and respect, the bank’s goal is to end hunger and reduce food waste on Long Island through efficient food collection and distribution; enhanced hunger-awareness and nutritioneducation programs; job training; and direct services targeted at children, senior citizens, veterans, and others at risk of food insecurity.

As a result of Island Harvest Food Bank’s dynamic business model, more than 94 percent of expended resources go directly to programs and services that support more than 300,000 Long Islanders facing hunger. Island Harvest Food Bank is a lead agency in the region’s emergency response preparedness for food and product distribution, and is a member of Feeding America®, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief organization.

For five consecutive years, Island Harvest Food Bank has earned a four-star-rating from Charity Navigator, a leading independent charity watchdog organization. Island Harvest Food Bank is among just 9 percent of the organizations rated by Charity Navigator to merit the four-star designation. More information about Island Harvest Food Bank can be found at www. islandharvest.org.
