Roslyn school district median home: $1.04M Home values reflected in de facto school segregation on L.I.: experts BY T E R I W EST The Manhasset and Great Neck school districts, which both have nationally ranked high schools, had the two highest median home sale values in Nassau County last year, according to Multiple Listing Service statistics that Oxford Realty agents compiled. At $1.6 million, Manhasset school district’s median home sale value was the highest in Nassau County and was second Long Island-wide only to the Quogue school district in Suﬀolk County. Next in Nassau County were Great Neck at $1.2 million, East Williston at $1.15 million, Jericho at $1.05 million, Roslyn at $1.04 million and Port Washington at $982,634, according to the statistics listed on the new website NY Long Island real estate. Herricks, New Hyde Park-Garden City Park, Floral Park-Bellerose and Mineola had median sales prices of $840,708, $653,724,

$612,727 and $592,271 respectively. The website did not include Sewanhaka. The perceived quality of a school district tends to be the most significant determinant in where Long Islanders choose to live, said Mitchell Pally, the CEO of the Long Island Builders Institute, which unites members of the building industry. “The home values go directly up and down depending upon the perception of the quality of the school district,” he said. “That’s why we have so many school districts, so that values can go up and down based on it.” Across the island, that plays out as de facto school segregation. “When there’s a lack of aﬀordable housing throughout Long Island and you put it all in a few areas, those areas have poor services, and that’s about the schools,” said Lisa Tyson, director of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, which Continued on Page 62

Dragone appointed NYIT introduces Willets Road principal new scholarship North Side assistant principal to replace Hanna BY S H E L BY TA L C O T T

The East Williston Board of Education approved Christine Dragone as the new principal for Willets Road School on Monday night. Currently, Robert Hanna is the interim principal for the school. The board unanimously approved Dragone to become the new principal starting July 1. This is a four-year position. Previously, Dragone worked at North Side School as an assistant principal. Prior to working in the East Williston school district, Dragone worked in various teaching positions with the New York City Department of Education. “We’re certainly excited to appoint Christine Dragone as our new middle school principal tonight,” said Mark Kamberg, president of the Board of Education. “We know that she’s going to do great things in our district and we are really very excited to move her forward into our principal position.” Kamberg also announced plans to improve safety at the crosswalk at North Side School. District Clerk Melisa Byrns said later that the county intends to enhance the safety of the crosswalk. This follows a joint meeting with the Department of Public Works that included board members, school oﬃcials, county Legislature members and parents. Kamberg said that the board has been working with the Legislature and village to make the crosswalk in front of the school safer. “We are proud and happy and excited to say that they recognized the unsafe conditions and plan to implement changes,” said Kamberg.

Supports teachers, police, EMTs BY T E R I W EST

Teachers and emergency responders in the tristate area are getting a treat from the New York Institute of Technology: a discount. The university announced a new scholarship last week that knocks off up to half of the tuition tab for the children of K-12 teachers, police officers, firefighters and EMT personnel. The first round of scholarships will be offered this fall for full-time undergraduate students. Qualifying students may also apply to the university for free. “I commend you on this big initiative,” state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said last Thursday morning as the university unveiled the scholarship. “It is a great way to take care of those who take care of us every day.”

The annual mean wage for police and sheriff patrol officers in New York state as of May 2018 was $74,860, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average for elementary school classroom teachers was $83,010. “Living on Long Island is very, very tough,” said state Sen. James Gaughran (D-Huntington). “The salary of teachers, police and first responders often makes it more difficult for them to be able to send their kids to these great colleges, and so that’s why I think this is such a vital new program.” NYIT, located in Old Westbury, already has tuition discounts for active corrections officers, police officers, sheriffs and sheriff ’s deputies. Other scholarships include the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship for low-income stuContinued on Page 62

Board trustee David Keefe talked about all of the teachers who were approved for tenure at the Monday meeting. He said the changes include flashing beacons at the crosswalk, new warning signs ahead of the crosswalk, widening the crosswalk and adding crocodile type warning strips. He also requested that the board approve sending a second letter to local police to ask for an oﬃcer to be present at the crosswalk during peak hours. This action was approved by the board. Nine current teachers were recommended for tenure at the board meeting, with the board unanimously approving all nine. The teachers approved for tenure are Thomas Sposato, Jason Craven, Michael Dunn, Jacquelyn Heney, Cie Gardet, Angeliki Kyrou, Donald J. Paul-

son, Kristen Thomas and Linda Bonasia. The board also discussed the current status of the 201920 school calendar. It was not adopted at the meeting. Kamberg said that the calendar has school beginning on Sept. 3 and ending on June 26. Kamberg said that includes a two-week vacation in December, a full week vacation in February and a break in April. The board recognized the mock trial team at the meeting. The team lost its first mock trial and then went undefeated for the remainder of the season. The mock trial team will go to the state competition from May 19-21 to vie for the state title.

Call to action after synagogue attack Nassau leaders seek push for teaching tolerance, respect after shooting in California BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

More must be done to combat anti-Semitism, local Jewish leaders said Monday following a Passover shooting at a California synagogue that has stoked fear and anxiety to a near fever pitch. A gunman opened fire on worshipers during a Passover service at Chabad of Poway synagogue on Saturday north of San Diego with what appeared to be an AR-15 rifle, according to police, killing one person and injuring three others. Lori Kaye, 60, died after shielding Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who was shot in both hands, from gunfire unleashed by a 19-year-old suspect who is in custody, CNN reported. The attack occurred exactly six months after a shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, where a gunman killed 11 people in the deadliest attack against Jewish people in U.S. history. “The shooting in a synagogue in Poway, Calif., resulting in a tragic death and several

Markowitz also said it underscores the need for institutions to redouble eﬀorts to educate people “on the history and lessons of the Holocaust and the clear dangers of anti-Semitism and other forms of intolerance today.” Rabbi Michael Klayman, president of the Great Neck Clergy Association and senior rabbi at Lake Success Jewish Center, also said that educating people to be more tolerant, open and respectful is critical. “Sadly it’s still a necessary goal, but we’re going to persevere until we reach every person who is intolerant and inflexible,” Klayman said. “I’m going to do my share, even if it’s one by one.” Klayman also said an attack on the Chabad synagogue – or any religious institution – is an attack on everyone. “An attack on any synagogue PHOTO BY JANELLE CLAUSEN is an attack on me, an attack on my faith, an attack on my synaRabbi Daniel Schweber of Temple Israel lights candles to honor the 11 people killed in the gogue,” Klayman said. “WhatTree of Life Congregation shooting. ever our philosophical or theoserious injuries, coming so soon raises fears and anxieties not Holocaust Memorial and Toler- logical diﬀerences with Chabad, after the massacre at the Tree seen since the Holocaust,” Steve ance Center of Nassau County, they know the way when it of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Markowitz, the president of the said.

Keefe, Littman talk goals for next term E. Williston Board of Education trustees and Mineola’s Cheryl Lampasona run unopposed BY S H E L BY TA L C O T T Alan Littman, who is running unopposed for re-election to the East Williston Board of Education, said he will continue to work on changes in security and safety measures. He said that the board is currently working on these issues as well as adding new school programs and making educational changes. “We are continuously improving education oﬀerings to our students and making sure that they’re coming to a very safe and secure environment,” Littman said. Trustee David Keefe, who is also running unopposed for his current spot on the board, said he feels that the board is “in pretty good shape.” He said he is aiming to keep the board headed in the direction that it has taken for the past several years. “We think that we have personnel that are doing the job well,” Keefe said. “We are constantly striving to improve.”

He said that he taught in Hempstead for about 40 years, and was the union president in Hempstead for 30 years. He said that he has been in education in “one way or another” since at least the 1960s, and began teaching around that time. “I’m running because I’ve been on a lot of boards and I know the way boards function,” said Keefe. “I understand the public side versus the private side. I think it’s good for the community to have someone like me, someone that brings my unique outlook to the board.” Littman said that since his arrival on the board, he is most proud of the outreach eﬀorts to the Southeast Asian community. Littman said that the board has added Diwali, Eid al-Fitr and the Lunar New Year to the calendar as holidays. Littman says that

this is in response to the changing and growing demographics in the community. “That made me feel really good,” said Littman. “I think that changing demographic is wonderful. I’m meeting a lot of people that are really aligned with my views on family and education. I feel like I’m in a community that is very in touch with how I live my life.” He also said that he is proud that the board recently appointed Christine Dragone to be the new principal of Willets Road School. He said that it was important for her to be appointed because she is “qualified and smart and forward thinking.” Littman also mentioned that he believes that she is the second woman principal in the school district, and that he likes that the district is appointing another woman as principal. “I feel like we continue to head in a good direction in terms of recognizing quality people,” said Littman.

Curran extends grievance deadline Submits legislation to county Legislature to phase in assessment increases, decreases BY J E S S I C A PA R K S

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran submitted local legislation to phase in assessment increases and decreases over a period of five years on Tuesday. After also announcing that she would extend the grievance deadline to Friday, Republican oﬃcials called for the extension to be lengthened to Tuesday, May 7, which was then agreed to by the Assessment Review Commission on Wednesday afternoon. Residents who are grieving their property taxes now have until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday to file online. The Taxpayer Protection Plan was included in the New York state budget passed April 1 and requires approval from the Nassau County Legislature to take eﬀect. Curran said she is sure that the bill will pass the Legislature. She also addressed the Assessment Review Commission’s website being down multiple times on Monday and Tuesday, the night before and day of the grievance deadline. She attributed the issues to “the incredible need” to modernize the county’s technology and said she is working with the website vendor to identify the problem with the website. Curran reminded taxpayers that she has already extended the deadline by “an unprec-

est problem with reassessment to defeat the rights of the residents.” Like the broken technology she inherited, Curran said, she also inherited a broken assessment system which she revealed updated statistics for. She said contrary to previous calculations, more than half of the county’s taxpayers, 55 percent, will see a decrease in their property taxes due to the reassessment, exemptions and phase-in. “Property is worth much more than it was the last time it was assessed,” Curran said. She emphasized that “just because your assessed value increased, it doesn’t mean your property taxes increased.” The new Taxpayer Protection Plan statements with estimated property taxes for the 2020-21 tax year will be made available online at mynassauproperty.com in the coming PHOTO BY JESSICA PARKS weeks, Curran said.

NIFA OKs half a loaf for Nassau State agency rejects $74.4M borrowing request by county for capital projects BY JA N E LL E CL AUSEN

The Nassau County Interim Finance Authority approved only about half of the $74.4 million proposed borrowing by the county for capital projects at a meeting last week, citing a lack of contract approvals by NIFA staﬀ. Nassau County sought to raise $151.4 million through borrowing, or $77 million in bonds and $74.4 million of bond anticipation notes for capital projects. Of that total, $68.54 million would have gone toward general capital projects and $10.86 million would go toward sewer and storm water capital projects. NIFA, a state agency overseeing Nassau’s finances since 2000 due to the county’s debt crisis, signed oﬀ on $77 million worth of bonds but just shy of $36.77 million of the bond anticipation notes. Jeremy Wise, counsel for NIFA, said the agency has had a long-standing policy that when it comes to proposals to be bond-

Orlando told Newsday after the meeting that county oﬃcials were only informed of the contract issue two hours before the meeting. Adam Barsky, the NIFA chairman, said the county had an additional month to “clean up any issues in preparation for this” and described the denial as “tough love.” PHOTO BY NOAH MANSKAR NIFA also suggested that the county use existing funds to cover the projects and be reimbursed later. would have gone toward road Among the authorized borresurfacing, and not just be rowing is $6.68 million for the “sitting” around.

North Hempstead council members put oﬀ approving a modification to subdivided lots in Roslyn Heights where developers want to build three homes and a commercial building Tuesday. Napoleon Prime Properties LLC had sought to adjust the zoning district boundary to allow construction of three singlefamily homes and a onestory 5,121-square-foot commercial building on a 29,211-square-foot parcel at 154 Mineola Ave. and 25 Lambert St. The Nassau County Planning Commission approved the subdivision into four smaller plots last year, while the town’s zoning board approved variances for lot width. Jessica Leis, an attorney with Forchelli, Deegan and Terrana representing the applicant, said the plot is occupied by a vacant single-family dwelling and a two-anda-half-story commercial building last occupied by School of Rock. By adjusting the zoning lines, she said it would allow for the construction of the homes and correct the current nonconforming business use previously extending into the residential portion. “Overall, it’s an im-

provement to the area,” Leis said. A handful of residents expressed concern about the project, however, suggesting the development could compromise the safety of the neighborhood, add congestion and threaten the “essence of being suburban.” Among those residents was Angela Homapour, a resident of nearby Donaldson Place, who said she moved out of Queens to find a quieter neighborhood. She said that it is unfair that her block is looking “more and more like a city.” “Our concern is that the neighborhood itself is getting very stuﬀy,” Homapour said. “There used to be three, four cars on the block – now there’s tons of cars.” Councilman Peter Zuckerman, whose district includes Roslyn Heights, said that in light of concerns raised by residents and a lack of residential presence at the Zoning Board of Appeals, the town should delay a decision. Leis said there will be a landscape buﬀer, the lots meet the 5,000-squarefoot minimum, there will be a fence dividing the commercial area from the residential, and the projects would be in character with the area. The plan also calls for eliminating a curb cut,

Councilman Peter Zuckerman and Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth suggested the applicant meet with neighbors to resolve their differences.

she said, making it easier to exit and enter the commercial property. “We know you want to be good neighbors and we’d like you to meet with these neighbors and hear what their concerns are and see if there are any ways their concerns could be addressed and mitigated,” Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth said. Zuckerman moved to continue the meeting to June 18, which the Town Board ultimately approved. In unrelated business, town council members continued a public hearing regarding the outside tethering of dogs to their June 18 meeting to modify the proposed law. “It’s our goal to create a law that ensures that dogs in the Town of North Hempstead are treated humanely,” Bosworth said. “The law will include, among other things, regulations regulating the amount of time a dog can be tethered and prohibiting a dog from being tethered in extreme temperatures and weather events.” Susan Carroll, a Great Neck resident who raised the issue with the town, said it is good that the town is taking action to strengthen the laws. “To me, this is a nobrainer,” Carroll said. In other business, the board continued a public hearing for a law that would amend the code to add a penalty for violating a stop work order to its May 21 meeting. Council members also approved an application from Remica Property Group to replace tank top equipment, vent piping, dispenser islands and associated paving at a gas station at 570 Port Washington Blvd., which is a 15,464-square-foot parcel. They also moved to increase the “No Stopping Anytime” restriction on Lambert Avenue north of Main Street in Port Washington from 25 feet to 45 feet as the area deals with streetscape renovations.

Former St. Mary’s employee sentenced Bookkeeper who embezzled funds from Roslyn Harbor church to spend 6 months in jail BY T E R I W EST A former bookkeeper for St. Mary’s Church in Roslyn Harbor was sentenced to six months in jail on Monday for embezzling more than $180,000 from the church, the Nassau County district attorney’s oﬃce said. Therese Iuzzolino, 45, was also given five years of probation and will pay $183,203.64 in restitution, the amount that she stole. She paid $25,000 at her sentencing. The Merrick resident pleaded guilty to grand larceny in late February for the theft that spanned from December 2011 to April 2017, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. As bookkeeper, Iuzzolino used church funds to digitally pay for personal credit cards and create electronic check vouchers, Singas said. She then spent that money at a jeweler, an automobile dealer, gun shops and toy stores as well as for dental fees, computers, fast food and entertainment.

“Stealing from a house of worship is an especially contemptible act and I am grateful to St. Mary’s for their cooperation during this case.”

Therese Iuzzolino, 45, of Merrick, stole $183,203.64 from St. Mary’s Church, said District Attorney Madeline Singas.

Singas said. “Stealing from a house of worship is an especially contemptible act and I am grateful to St. Mary’s for their cooperation during this case.” In May 2017, the church’s bank called St. Mary’s about a suspicious $5,000 check, which led to the discovery of the embezzlement and the church firing Iuzzolino. The Diocese of Rockville Centre reimbursed St. Mary’s for the stolen funds and will receive Iuzzolino’s restitution payment. “She took responsibility for her actions,” Iuzzolino’s attorney J. Caesar Galarza said in February after his client’s guilty plea. “She was in a dark place and perhaps not thinking clearly. She got some help and she decided to own and take responsibility for her actions.”

OUR VIEWS

Census decision threatens Nassau

n 2010 only 77 percent of Nassau County residents sent back their U.S. Census Bureau questionnaires, resulting in an estimated 316,000 people not being counted. This was a problem. The population data collected by the Census Bureau is used by the federal government to distribute more than $880 billion annually to hundreds of federal programs, including Medicaid, Medicare and other health initiatives, education, transportation and infrastructure. Census data is also used by businesses to decide where to set up shop or relocate. And it determines political representation, both on the federal and local level. This includes how many electoral votes each state receives. County Executive Laura Curran responded to the undercount in Nassau in February when she launched a campaign to ensure that Nassau residents are accurately counted in the 2020 Census. This included putting together Nassau’s Complete Count Committee, a group comprised of more than 30 nonprofit, labor, faith-based groups and community organizations tasked with developing a plan to achieve a full count. This makes sense, but don’t expect a better result for Nassau in 2020. In fact, you might need to expect a much worse outcome for the county for two reasons. The first is that Nassau is a diﬃcult place to get an accurate population count. The U.S. Census Bureau calculates Nassau as the fifth hardest-tocount county in the state — behind Queens, Kings (Brooklyn), Bronx and Suﬀolk counties — because of its high proportion of typically

undercounted groups, which includes communities of color, immigrants, young children and renters. This isn’t surprising. Long Island has one of the 10 largest populations of undocumented immigrants from Central and South America, according to an op-ed by Congressmen Tom Suozzi and Peter King that appeared in the New York Times on March 24. About 23 percent of Nassau’s population — more than 316,000 people — live in “hard-to-count” communities such as Hempstead, Freeport, Uniondale, Lakeview, Elmont, Valley Stream, Long Beach, Glen Cove and Great Neck, according to a Newsday report. The second reason to be concerned about the 2020 count is the Trump administration and the five Supreme Court Justices appointed by Republican presidents. The five Republican-appointed justices appeared inclinedto rule last week in the Commerce Department’s favor on an appeal that would allow the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 census. The appeal, which challenges a ruling by a federal district court judge in New York, focuses on whether Wilbur Ross, the commerce secretary, followed the proper procedures set out in federal law when he sought to include the question: “Is this person a citizen of the United States?” Research by Ross’s own Census Bureau shows the question is likely to discourage households with non-citizens, including undocumented immigrants, from taking part in the count. The bureau estimates 6.5 million people will not respond to the 2020 census if a citizenship question is included – and could grow higher.

But Ross overruled the unanimous advice of experts at the Census Bureau to add the question. In lawsuits brought by dozens of states, cities and other groups, judges in New York, California and Maryland agreed that Ross broke federal rules when he set out to include the citizenship question. They also found that the citizenship question will lead to a grossly disproportionate undercount in certain states, such as New York. The judges were supported by six of the Census Bureau’s former directors, who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations and warned that adding the citizenship question would jeopardize the accuracy of the population count. Ross testified repeatedly before Congress that he added the citizenship question because the Justice Department wanted it on the census form. But litigation filed by the opponents uncovered emails from Ross and other Commerce Department oﬃcials showing the idea of adding the citizenship question did not

have its roots in the Justice Department. Instead, the emails showed, the question was developed in discussions between Ross, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who helped lead President Trump’s now-defunct and widely discredited voter fraud commission. The Trump administration’s position is supported by 17 Republican-controlled states. This is unsurprising since they would be the beneficiaries of the citizenship question being included in the census form. “Allowing the administration to demand citizenship information from every household as part of the decennial census would dramatically depress the county areas with significant Latino and immigrant populations and would reposition representation toward areas more likely to elect Republicans,” former Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. said in a recent op-ed in the Washington Post. There’s a troubling pattern

here. It doesn’t take much of an effort to see the connection between the handling of the census question and the GOP’s eﬀort in states across the country to suppress the vote of young people and minority members who tend to vote for Democrats. Or gerrymandered congressional districts. This is further aggravated by the heavy rural state bias in the U.S. Senate (a majority of the country’s population is represented by just 18 senators). The impact of this rural red state bias can be seen in who was aﬀected by the 10 percent cap on state and local taxes in President Trump’s tax bill – blue states with large immigrant populations and relatively high levels of spending on social programs. There is nothing we can do now to influence the Supreme Court in what may turn out to seem like a blatantly political decision. But the least we can do is work together to get every person in the county counted – despite the long odds.

KREMER’S CORNER

Biden’s run recalls ‘Back to the Future’

olitics and science fiction rarely connect. But the announcement by former Vice President Joe Biden that he is running for president brought to mind the 1985 movie “Back to the Future.” In that classic, Marty McFly, a teenage character played by Michael Fox, is brought back to 1955, thanks to “Doc” Brown and his DeLorean car. Seeing the events that aﬀected his family’s future, young McFly is given the opportunity to repair his future. Whether you like him or not, Joe Biden’s candidacy gives us an opportunity to think about how a person can evolve from one series of events in the past to another set in the present. The Joe Biden of the 1970s and 1980s is a completely diﬀerent man than the current version of Joe Biden. In the 1970s we were a country torn apart by racial tensions and world challenges. The Biden of those years opposed forced busing of students from segregated school districts

and was a hawk when it came to overseas wars. The Biden of 2019 is a man who has a world vision of what America’s role should be, having served as vice president for eight years after a 30-plus year run in the U.S. Senate. He brings into the campaign for the Democratic nomination an indepth understanding of how bipartisanship works and feels the pain of the working class. He knows what sorrow is, having experienced the loss of a wife and child and the subsequent death of his son Beau. At a time when we have a mad man in the White House, a country badly divided and constant threats to the survival of our democracy, Biden brings a life of deep knowledge of the political system and an understanding of what America should look like after 2020. There are many good people who have announced their desire to be our next president and Biden’s entry into the race will

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

broaden the issues.For some unexplained reason, none of the current crop has uttered a word about the need to rebuild America’s relationships in Europe and other parts of our fractured world. Biden understands that America has always been a leader and not a follower, when it comes to progressive policies and being a role model for our

friends. He has practiced bipartisanship and has enjoyed many successes during his years as a Senate member. He talked about climate change when no one in government uttered those words. Long before the Me-Too movement had surfaced, Biden was the man behind the Violence Against Women Act. For the past six months many of the announced candidates have supported a long list of left-leaning progressive programs, many of which can’t happen due to their scope and possible costs. Everyone wants Medicare for all and the guarantee of access to health care. Biden is committed to seeing that the Aﬀordable Care Act survives and is improved and will make that a major plank of his platform. His candidacy will help bring some of his competition back to the center, which is where most of American voters are. Joe Biden understands what the perils of war are. He voted

for the Iraq War and will admit it was a mistake. Having been a heartbeat away from being president, he knows how our military thinks, is familiar with the challenges we face around the globe and would not expose us to conflict if he is lucky enough to win next year’s election. America is hungry for a commander-in-chief who will help us sleep better at night, whether that is a man or woman. Biden’s entry into the race is very much like the Marty McFly story. Biden has served at a time when the America of today was in formulation. He has seen government do right and do wrong. He articulates the pain of the working class family, because he has lived it. There is no assurance that he will win his party’s nomination, but his decision to run will help us better understand who the nation needs as president and we are well-served by his desire to win the prize.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Another bird takes flight from home!

y youngest is about to graduate from college! With the final tuition check written, we are all now launched into the next exciting chapter of the game of Life. It’s always hard to see how grown-up your baby has become, but landmarks like these are a good time to try. Ever since he was little, Josh has had a soft spot for animals — which wasn’t easy, growing up with a mother who allowed nothing larger than a brine shrimp into the house. I was especially firm on the subject after learning that Josh was allergic to cat dander. But love found a way. One day, Josh came home from a playdate with red blotches on both cheeks — the same size and shape as his fingertips. “What happened?” I asked, in alarm. “There were kittens!” he answered. Had he handled them? How could he not? They were irresistible. Or, as Josh put it, “They were almost too cute for

their own good.” Josh’s soft heart extended to imaginary beings as well. In first grade, I went with his class to a show at the Hofstra Playhouse. For some reason, we had a very long wait after we were seated. I could feel Joshua next to me getting nervous, but I had no books or anything else to distract him. In desperation, I made a little puppet with my hand — like a sock puppet, but without a sock. “I’m scared,” the puppet said to Josh. “This is such a big place! It’s making me nervous.” Josh’s demeanor instantly changed. “Don’t be scared,” he told the puppet. “We’re all friends here.” It was magical! He forgot all his own nervousness in order to help someone else. There were other, less peaceful worlds. Josh and his older brother developed an alternative planet, “Alklon,” where the rival nations of “Cal” and “Lin” battled every day. To this day, there is a closet door oﬀ the kitchen labeled “Calish prison” with masking tape.

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side There were countless maps of each army’s territory. There were even fight songs. Cal’s ended with, “We may not always win, But at least we are not Lin!” For much of his youth, Josh was a passionate advocate for Long Island’s secession from New York, so it could become its own state. He had a name for it — New Island, a state bird — the seagull — and a motto: “If you don’t live here, you suck!” (What else would you expect from a Yankees

fan?) He and his brother — a staunch anti-secessionist — bickered continually over where the border should be drawn, so that driving around the Belt Parkway to visit one grandmother or another, their Dad and I were subjected to running commentary: “Now we’re in New Island,” “Now it’s New York,” “We’re back in New Island,” “Now we’re back in New York” … all the way to New Jersey. I finally learned what had triggered the idea. We had been on one of those trips, watching the weather on a hotel room TV somewhere, when Josh was outraged to see that they hadn’t even bothered to show Long Island on the map. “If we were our own state,” he said, “they’d have to include us.” Perhaps it’s being the younger brother, but Josh has always been on the alert for injustice, everywhere. He thought it massively unfair that mules couldn’t have babies. I tried, in a sanitized way, to explain genetics and sterility, but he kept insist-

ing… until one day there was a news story of a mule who had had a baby. “See, Mommy? You should have believed me.” Josh’s interest in imaginary maps segued to mastery of real ones. One time, on one of the many days I was chauﬀeuring him around Long Island, I voiced my doubts about how to get home. “Take the Northern State, Mom,” came a voice from the back seat. “It’ll be shorter from here.” Darned if he wasn’t right. Eventually, Joshua’s interest in politics led him to a double major in Economics and Middle Eastern Studies. His father and I, having barely escaped college with one major each, advised our son not to bite oﬀ more than he could chew, but it certainly appears that he’s done it — and with flying colors! We are so burstingly proud of this boy. So here’s to Joshua — with congratulations on successfully navigating us all to this wonderful day: Kudos, and Mazel Tov!

KIDS F IRST

Take a stand, make waves for kids

t wasn’t necessary for the slaughter of innocents at Sandy Hook elementary school on Dec. 14, 2012 to validate that there is evil in the world. But what it did is affirm that if the massacre of 6- and 7-year-old children is not off limits, then nothing is. This perception has been so routinely validated since that fateful day there is the real possibility that we are becoming numb to mass shootings in America. Psychic numbing is a psychological condition that leads one to feeling indifferent to horrific events. The quote attributed to Joseph Stalin, “One death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic,” is an illustration of that state. The sabbath day synagogue attack in Poway, Calif., is just the latest mass shooting in America and the second synagogue shooting in only six months following the Tree of Life slaughter in Pittsburgh. After some time passes, Poway will become another tombstone in our collective psyche, alongside

all the others that have occurred in churches, mosques, public schools, colleges, shopping malls, nightclubs, business offices, concert halls and more. Shortly after the shootings, mental health experts, clergy and educators offer tips, wisdom and spiritual support to speechless parents about how to soothe their children. Their advice always is: Be available emotionally, be compassionate, limit media exposure, reassure safety, offer distractions to prevent obsessive worry, watch for angry outbursts and depression and, if symptoms persist, seek professional help. I imagine if parents were to speak from their guts instead of their heads and hearts, they would likely tell their children: “It’s a cruel world, evil is everywhere, toughen up, watch your back, and don’t trust anyone.” In 2019 alone, through the end of March and before Poway, there have been 70 mass shootings, 90 dead and 249 wounded across the country. These statis-

ANDREW MALEKOFF Kids First

tics can be found in any number of publications that have taken on the task of tracking mass shootings in the United States. They include USA Today, Mother Jones, Vox and the Washington Post. When I was a child, I was an avid collector of baseball cards. I knew all the stats of my favorite players. I checked the box scores in the papers each morning after a game. Those were the numbers that consumed my childhood. Now it’s mass shootings. How

many? How many dead? How many wounded? What team is the shooter on? Is he a lone wolf? It is sad to say but I am no longer shocked. I know Poway won’t be the last nor will the next be the last. In an interview with Bill Moyers one year after 9/11, psychiatrist Robert J. Lifton said, “I think we all have a double life. On the one hand, we know we can be annihilated and everybody around us by terrorism, by the incredible weaponry this world now has. And yet in another part of our mind we simply go through our routine. And, we do what we do in life, and we try to do it as well as we can.” Lifton has a most unique perspective having studied the aftermath of the Hiroshima bomb, the Nazi doctors, and the cult that released gas into the Tokyo subway, among many other horrible things people do to one another. What he seems to be saying is that on the one hand we’re free to live our day-to-day lives, but

on the other hand, we are never unmindful of these events. And, so we have a choice to make. We can let these events pass us by as a train in the night or get involved in something that really matters. Students, like those from from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., have been models for transcending inertia and taking social action, at choosing hope over despair. As one such student from Iowa said in an interview on PBS: “Change will not come on its own. We have to make it for ourselves. The adults have proven that they are unwilling to move beyond thoughts and prayers. We must force them into action.” Take a stand. Make waves.

VIEW POINT

Could Trump get Electoral College win?

t was quite disturbing to hear Dr. Jason Johnson, professor, politics editor at TheRoot.com, and MSNBC contributor, say at a recent panel discussion at Temple Emanuel of Great Neck that “mathematically speaking, more likely than not, Trump will be reelected.” Others have predicted Trump would win re-election, even by a landslide, despite having an approval rate in the low 40s, and just 56 percent of a shrinking Republican Party (perhaps 33 percent of voters altogether, which means 20 percent of voters) saying they will vote for him. It is as if they expect a redux of 2016. But is that repeatable? Despite the extraordinary headwinds against Hillary Clinton, she still won three million more popular votes than Donald Trump, with Trump squeaking by with an Electoral College win of 80,000 votes spread among three states — the same number of votes cast for Jill Stein. What else was in Trump’s favor? The Comey letter, Fox News and the Russian misinformation campaign that actually also bolstered Bernie Sanders, who had a latent eﬀect on the vote by so in-

spiring his voters that a good number stayed home rather than vote for Hillary. Among other factors were Cambridge Analytica and the Trump social media war machine (Brad Parscale, who headed the social media campaign, boasted about suppressing votes by blacks, women and liberals and is now the Trump 2020 campaign manager); and voter suppression (200,000 fewer voters on the rolls in Wisconsin) on top of 25 years of rightwing smear campaigns. Also, a complicit media elevated Trump and presented his gross indignities as mere titillating antics (“Access Hollywood”) while denigrating Clinton to an email meme. But Trump is no longer a hypothetical. His promises that he would be independent of special interests because “I am very, very rich” were bogus. His promise to have a plan on day one to replace Obamacare with better, cheaper health care, demonstrably bogus. His promise to end terrorism by sheer virtue of his Me-ness, false. His promise that he alone would heal partisan divisions, bring people together, a cruel lie. In fact, the many Trump voters who say “he speaks the truth” clearly set aside the fact he has lied

KAREN RUBIN View Point

over 9,000 times so far, at the rate of 22 a day (his record was 104 lies in one speech). Trump has managed to defy every political norm (not to mention every norm of the presidency and decency). They say a candidate has to provide an optimistic vision. Trump only spoke in dystopian terms, but it turns out that is his vision for America. Every photo of him is glowering, glaring, full of anger, resentment. “I can be presidential” he declared on the podium, making stiﬀ, robotic movements to show what he thought an actual president would look like. But now there is a record: cag-

ing children and separating families, incarcerating people making a legal claim of asylum in such horrid conditions that two children died, putting 11 million people and their families in constant fear and anxiety of being ripped from their families and deported, an immigration problem made worse through sheer evil and ineptitude. Undermining the USA’s global leadership, weakening alliances and basically handing Russian President Putin his wish list to the extent that the Russian military can go into Venezuela and Trump, the paper tyrant wannabe, doesn’t have the ability to do anything about it. Do you not believe that Trump has already been revealed as the most inept, corrupt, craven, cruel, self-serving and possibly demented individual ever to hold the highest oﬃce in the land and to take upon himself the mantle of “Leader of the Free World?” The sheer terror he has inflicted on this country over North Korea and a renewed nuclear arms race with Russia, which he is now extending into space, wouldn’t this be enough to topple him in 2020? On the other hand, Trump has several factors in his favor.

There is no reason to think Putin won’t be back and Trump has his own propaganda organization (Brad Parscale), which has the Cambridge Analytica data and the methods the Russians used to weaponize social media, Fox News and Murdoch. Republican control of the voting apparatus in enough states could enable him to squeak by again in the Electoral College. With Trump installing his loyalists in the apparatus that controls the elections, who would protect the tallies against hacking? Trump is banking on a repeat of 2016, so even if he loses by three million popular votes, he could still again take the Electoral College. And one can never underestimate the ability of Democrats to snatch defeat from victory. But one element might stand in the way of a Trump victory. If enough states join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, it would make the Electoral College more responsive to the people’s will without having to amend the Constitution. So far 15 states, including New York, have joined, with 189 electoral votes among them. When enough states join with a total of 270 electoral votes, it would be enforced.

Which materials are really garbage?

oo much information, constantly, from every possible direction. I am missing a lot. And a lot of information is important, but maybe not quite that relevant to me. But there is one topic that is relevant to all of us all the time: Information about material collections, a.k.a. how to dispose properly of our unwanted stuﬀ. A couple of weeks ago the Town of North Hempstead sent all of us a brochure titled: “How to Properly Discard Your Stuﬀ.” I know some of you missed it or didn’t read it. I found the brochure instructional, but unfortunately, it didn’t answer many of the all-important “why” questions. Understanding why things have to be done a certain way and what happens if they are not will make it easier for all of us to accept and follow that rule. So I decided to call the Town and ask all my Why questions. Robert Lange, executive director/commissioner, Solid Waste

Management Authority for the Town of North Hempstead provided detailed responses that Carole Trottere, spokesperson for the Town, edited for us and are provided here as answers. Why should we care about sorting the diﬀerent materials we are disposing of into the correct “piles” for recycling? What is the cost for individuals not putting care into this process? Answer: Recycling is ultimately a business like any other and its economics depend upon receiving clean raw materials that require limited processing and viable end markets interested in purchasing the output of recycling processing facilities. Recycling programs were instituted to lower overall disposal costs and to help preserve the environment. Properly recycling is one small act each resident can perform daily to lessen their impact upon the environment, both locally and globally. To the extent that collective-

JULIANE SAARY-LITTMAN Earth Matters ly, individuals do not participate properly they cause costs to rise as improperly set out recyclables will be deemed non-recyclable and not be collected and thrown into the trash truck instead. Why are the previously allowed plastics numbers 4, 5 and 6 no longer accepted for recycling? What will happen if residents continue to include those plastics in the recycling bins?

Answer: Plastic numbers 1 and 2, typically bottles and jugs, are the only two plastics that have had viable and consistent post-consumer markets for the last 30 years. If residents continue to include items that are not specifically called out in the brochure those items will ultimately wind up as trash, most likely at the processing center and thereby increasing costs. Why can’t the residents of Port Washington recycle kitchen scraps (aka compost)? Answer: Much of the current interest about food waste recycling fails to explain that there are almost no facilities to accept the collected food waste and process it, and there are very limited market outlets for the finished product due to the contaminants typically found in what residents set out curbside. Why is it not ok to put newspapers in opaque plastic bags? Answer: Collection workers cannot tell when picking up at a

curbside stop what the contents of an opaque plastic shopping bag hold. To prevent contamination of the paper commodities contained in the truck they must assume the worst and throw out as trash any paper contained in an opaque plastic shopping bag. Under the new guidelines we allow residents the option of setting out their paper, metal, glass, and plastics in separate clear plastic bags as a convenience option. Dry paper is easier to market. What happens with yard waste? Answer: The yard waste collected is either composted or applied directly to former mining sites for soil reclamation. In both cases the yard waste collected must either be loose in a container or a paper lawn and leaf bag to be successfully recycled into compost or land applied. Why is it not ok to put yard waste in plastic bags? Continued on Page 59

Why I’m running for ed board Sater story shows Trump is in clear I would like to share some observations on the relationship between our community and our school district, how what I have observed is increasing polarization among voters, and to suggest some common ground from which we can all move forward. It is no secret that only a small portion of our community is strongly engaged with our Board of Education. Few people attend the Board of Education meetings, a fairly small percentage of our community votes in the election, and it’s largely the same parents and community members who volunteer their time to keep things moving. On the one hand, we owe a debt of gratitude to those who volunteer in our schools, PTAs and HSAs, and on our BOE. They are doing so much for all our kids. However, the fairly low level of engagement means that when decisions are made, it is often the same people at the table, and there is a strong chance that some key perspectives in our community are not being represented. It seems that many in the community are fine with this. They recognize we have great schools and trust those engaged parents who have the time to volunteer. However, there is another part of the community that is very frustrated by the status quo, feels like they are being excluded from decisions regarding our schools, and laments the large school budgets that increase faster than inflation and lead to larger property taxes. You do not have to take my word on this. The same point came through loud and clear in the recent survey for the superintendent search. The most vocal in this block are also well represented in editorials to this paper, and it is sad to see our community divided by what should be uniting us, our children’s education. I would argue that although tough choices

have to be made, this dichotomy between more money for the school district and lower taxes is not so clear-cut. We all know that Port Washington is an expensive place to live, and every year that taxes rise places a greater burden on those less fortunate in our community. Financial insecurity can be a major source of stress in a family, and stressed-out kids can have diﬃculty in schools. So more money for our schools does not necessarily lead to successful kids. On the flip side, it is no coincidence that our great schools are supported by a large budget, and our school district is a great draw to Port Washington, increasing property values. Thus, those focusing on education should also work to keep the budget in check, whereas those focused on low taxes should be grateful for the boost their home values receive from living near great schools. To put it simply, we have to continue investing in our kids’ education, but doing so in a thoughtful way that limits the rate of growth of the school budget. Finding this balance is hard, but is the responsibility of the BOE and all involved in crafting the district’s budget. Given the existing polarization in our town, it might be time for some new faces to step up, ones not associated with one voting block or the other. It is for this reason that I have decided to run for the Port Washington Board of Education. I encourage all of you to increase your involvement, and I will make it a priority to reach out to all of you for your feedback and new ideas. (Search for me, Jonathan Geisler, on Facebook.) Together, we can continue to make Port Washington a fantastic place to live. Jonathan Geisler Port Washington

want to thank the Port Washington Times for clearly showing how Felix Sater and President Trump broke no laws nor rules regarding their relationship with Russian officials or with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Mr. Sater “was just doing what he has always done: working a deal.” He and Michael Cohen, Trump’s personal lawyer, were just trying to get approval from Russian officials to build a Moscow hotel. Sater did not break any laws, as Mueller stated in his report. Mueller had no reason to charge Sater with any crime, even though several newspapers implied irresponsibly that Sater was guilty of some crime. The same is true for Trump. The president never went to Russia to talk to Putin or any other official about building a hotel in Moscow. There is no evidence he even made a phone call to Putin or anyone else in Russia. Yet many newspapers and cable news shows imply that Trump broke some law or conspired with Russia to overthrow the U.S. gov-

ernment. The Mueller report confirms that Trump broke no laws, yet Democrats are calling for his impeachment. Republicans were very wrong when they tried to impeach Bill Clinton, one of our greatest presidents, for his affair with Monica Lewinsky. It was obvious many of these Republicans were jealous of Clinton. Having an affair with a younger woman is not a crime and if every president who had an affair during his presidency were to be impeached, no president would finish his term of office. Treason is the only reason to try to impeach a president. Neither Clinton nor Trump committed treason yet House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler is trying to come up with charges to impeach Trump. This is very divisive and wrong. Polls show that most Americans do not want to go through another impeachment. It’s divisive and a waste of time and money and is solely political in nature. Marshall Hubsher Port Washington

Plaza project reduces area to rubble

onstruction on Great Neck Plaza Mayor Jean Celender’s TEP project in the Welwyn/Shoreward area has been going on since early March. Before construction began, Celender sent letters to the residents and merchants of the area explaining the parameters of the project. In her letter, she said: “We are looking to schedule operations to have the least disruption to area residents, businesses, shoppers and visitors that utilize this area of the Village’s downtown.” Her words couldn’t possibly be farther from the truth. To begin with, the construction vehicles consistently arrive on the street before 6 a.m. — most frequently in front of the residential co-op at 8 Welwyn Road — where they begin excavating and jackhammering. Of course, there is no sleep after that for those who live there. The village has a construction code that specifically limits construction in the village to the hours between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. Apparently the rules do not apply to the mayor’s projects. It’s no problem for the mayor that the residents will continue to be deprived of sleep for months. The TEP construction project has reduced the entire area to rubble. First they dug up all of the

south side of Welwyn Road, from the roundabout to the end of the strip of stores, which included removing the sidewalks and eliminating all the parking spaces. Leaving that part of the job unfinished, they moved on to the area in front of 8 Welwyn Road, where they did the same thing. Then came the dismantling of the island in the middle of the street, followed by work on Shoreward Drive between the post oﬃce and the roundabout at Barstow Road, where they also removed the sidewalks as well as access to all parking, and again left the job unfinished. Construction then moved on to the excavation for the mayor’s vanity park, which will protrude into the middle of the street in front of the post oﬃce. To date, every area of construction is a mess. Piles of sand, dirt and rocks are everywhere, not a single site has been finished. And residents are forced to breathe in and drag into our homes the dust, dirt and sand that whips through the air every time the wind blows. Before the TEP project was finalized, Celender scheduled a village meeting for residents and merchants to hear about the project. She played her game of “transparency” and asked for our input. The idea of a park in front

of the post office was met with a resounding “no!” — with a loud and clear consensus that it would become a place where people would eat and smoke, littering it with garbage and cigarette butts, and many were concerned that it might draw “unsavory” visitors. But the mayor didn’t care. She simply changed the name from “park” to “public plaza.” Celender’s vanity park, which protrudes into the middle of the street in front of the post office, has substantially narrowed the turning space for the buses that the mayor insists must use Welwyn Road as their route to the station. She is so into her own agenda that she refuses to recognize that it previously took most of the buses two or three swings to negotiate the turn-around. Now, with the new park configuration, every bus needs at least three tries to make the turn. Traffic will be at a standstill in the area from the congestion that over 50 buses a day buses will create. And accidents—for which the mayor should be held accountable—will be inevitable. Yet she still refuses to take the buses off Welwyn Road. The merchants in the shops on the strip have suffered such severe economic loss from this construction project that they are currently suing the village for loss of income.

When residents of the area asked the mayor to include sorely needed resident parking as part of the project, they were totally ignored. The best Celender would do was to promise five additional parking spaces. What she forgo to mention, was that she was removing at least twice that number — including the three spaces in front of the post oﬃce and three more on Shoreward Drive to provide extra space for the buses to turn because her park will narrow the previous turning space by half. And, of course, she continues to give tacit approval to Shop Delight’s daily violations of its conditional use permit by allowing their employees to illegally usurp most of the few available parking spaces left in the area without consequence, in spite of the fact that residents cannot park their cars anywhere even remotely near where they live. Several years ago, the Park District was dealing with the federal government to rent an unused garage under the post oﬃce which they planned to use for additional commuter parking. Celender decided that she wasn’t going to let the Park District gain access to that garage, so she outbid them, promising use of the space for a parking garage for residents of the area. Of course, the garage

never materialized. When residents continue to ask village officials why the promise of a parking garage still remains unfulfilled several years later, the answer is always the same: dealing with the federal government is a long, slow process filled with red tape. This TEP Project has federal funding. I wonder if there have been delays because of federal red tape. The village apparently had no difficulty gaining access to the property abutting the post office so they could build the park that nobody except Celender wants or needs. Celender’s concern for her constituents remains constant — they just don’t matter. Her projects and actions serve only her own agenda; her words are nothing more than political rhetoric. Remember what she wrote in her letter: “We are looking to schedule operations to have the least disruption to area residents, businesses, shoppers and visitors…” Maybe Celender thinks we can’t see through her. She obviously revels at living with her head in the sand. It’s time for the Jean Machine Regime to go. Muriel Pfeifer Village of Neck Plaza (We want our “Great” back!)

Critic says Trump unqualified as prez

nce again, Dr. Wayne Roth has attempted to refute my attacks on President Trump. He writes about my “unsubstantiated invective” and I assume he is referencing to that part of my letter which states that Trump is “xenophobic, misogynistic, narcissistic,” etc. I thought that these descriptors were part of conventional wisdom, accepted by one and all. If Roth needs further explication, here it is. Trump’s xenophobia is borne out by his anti-Moslem statements. His misogyny is proven by “hush money” paid to a porn star. His narcissism is exemplified by his words and the definition of narcissism in the psychoanalytic literature. Dr. Roth next criticizes my claim that Trump is mentally

unstable. Here, I relied upon his penchant for giving nicknames to his enemies, for example, Jeb Bush is “low energy” and Elizabeth Warren is “Pocahontis.” Additionally, in January 2017, 37 mental health experts signed a letter which appeared in the New York Timeswarning of Trump’s “grave emotional instability.” Here is a portion of that letter. “Mr. Trump’s speech and actions demonstrate an inability to tolerate views diﬀerent from his own, leading to rage reactions. His words and behavior suggest a profound inability to empathize. Individuals with these traits distort reality to suit their psychological state, attacking facts and those who convey them (journalists, scientists).” Two psychologists, Brent Roberts and Scott Lilienfield,

who did not sign the letter, later wrote, “We fear there is too much at stake to be silent any longer.” One does not need to be credentialed as a psychiatrist or a psychologist to recognize aberrant behavior. It reveals itself in the over 10,000 lies and misstatements attributed to POTUS. He can distort reality from imagining inaugural crowds, which weren’t there, to myriad statements by his “Art of the Deal” collaborator. What the electorate gave us was a president who is a habitual liar. My quoting Steve Schmidt and Barbara Bush was intended to reveal the fact that Republicans are part of the chorus which finds the president “unfit.” Next comes the numbers game. I am faulted because I only challenged three of the 48 reasons Dr. Roth

admires Trump. I don’t know how Dr. Roth spends his time, but it would take me several days to debunk the 45 remaining . I also made the case that pay day lenders are unscrupulous vipers who charge up to 360 percent interest. Only Dr. Roth could defend such a practice. In his most recent missive, Dr. Roth introduces us to Dinesh D’Souza. He is a far-right provocateur and conspiracy theorist. On May 20, 2014, D’Souza pleaded guilty to making an illegal campaign contribution. He was sentenced to eight months in a halfway house near his home in San Diego. But not to worry, Trump lovers. On May 31, 2018, our “tweeter in chief” gave D’Souza a full pardon. Partisan bickering has be-

come commonplace in Washington. Conservatives blame it on “bleeding heart liberals,” while the latter maintain that in the long history of our nation there has never before been anyone like Trump in the White House. My assessment of 45 comes from a quotation from Ivy Baker Priest, who was the U.S. Treasurer from 1953 to l961. She stated that one can be “often wrong but never in doubt.” This describes POTUS perfectly. He is our least educated president, totally lacking in intellectual curiosity, but whenever challenged he doubles down. Dr. Hal Sobel Great Neck Letters Continued on Page 57

4 L.I. schools in U.S. News top 300 Manhasset, Great Neck South, Garden City, Jericho rank despite expanded pool of contenders BY T E R I W EST

Great Neck South High School and Manhasset Secondary School again made the U.S. News & World Report’s top 300 high schools list this year, making up half of Long Island’s titleholders. Great Neck South ranked 222nd while Manhasset ranked 228th. Garden City High School and Jericho High School also made the list, at 214th and 134th respectively. U.S. News & World Report modified its methodology this year by including schools even if they did not reach a certain mark for state assessment or graduation rates. That added more than 14,500 schools, according to the publication. The ranking also includes a new overall score on a scale of zero to 100 that represents the school’s percentile nationally. Great Neck South’s is 98.71 and Manhasset’s is 98.68. “It really is a great honor, and it really is the result of such a kind, caring, dedicated and supportive staﬀ that always goes above and beyond for the success of all students,” said Great Neck South High School Principal Christopher Gitz about the ranking released this week. Six factors contribute to a high school’s ranking and are weighed at varying degrees. College readiness is the high-

and the academic performance of black, Hispanic and low-income students. “I am always very proud of our success and the subsequent recognition that our schools receive on the local, regional and national level,” said Manhasset school district Superintendent Vincent Butera. “While no single ranking truly defines the success of Manhasset Secondary School, being recognized for providing opportunities and high academic achievement is a source of great pride.” The expanded pool of contenders and new methodology this year means a school’s numerical ranking is not comparable with its previous ones, the publication said. Last year the Wheatley School in the East Williston school district made the list, ranking 180th. This year, at 575th, it did not make the top 300. Its overall score was 96.67 out of 100. More than six times as many schools were ranked this year.

OUR TOWN

Comfortable shoes a valuable service I played golf last weekend and noticed that one of the topics of conversation/joking/ridicule related to golf shoes. One of my partners talked about how inexpensive his new shoes were while the other remarked about how white his were. Banter about odd subjects goes on endlessly during a round of golf and I suppose I was more aware of the shoe subject since I was about to write a column about shoes. It was as if the writing gods were

giving me a bit of encouragement. I first became aware of the importance of shoes many years ago while standing in line in CVS in Garden City. I was observing two teenage girls in front of me who were, in turn, watching a teenage boy as he paid for his item and walked away. One girl looked at the other and said “bad shoes.” The other nodded in agreement. Up until that moment, I had no idea that people

Abraham Thomas and his busy staff of shoe fitters HAPPY

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

actually were keenly interested in the kind of shoes one wears. But I could not have been more wrong. Let’s face it, Nike makes sneakers and the company is presently valued at over $29 billion. Dick’s Sporting Goods store in the mall has a 75-yardlong wall filled with a variety of sneakers and shoes. Today kids regularly buy and sell limited edition sneakers as a way to make money. Thom McCan made so much money selling shoes that he singlehandedly funded the

MOTHER’S

creation of charming downtown Stony Brook. And I once met Michael Jordan at the Bear’s Club in Florida and what was most striking about him was that he wore really cool shoes. And now that I have reached the age where ingrown toenails and back pain are my constant companions my priority has shifted from style to comfort. I’ve had to shelve all my gorgeous leather or suede tassel loafers from Brooks Brothers and now seek ease. That’s how I found Eric Comfort Shoes. Eric Comfort Shoes is located on Hillside Avenue in Williston Park and advertises that “we sell widths sizes from A to triple E.” Now that’s what I call good news. I honestly don’t know how people manage to squeeze into the standard C width that regular shoe stores always stock, yet hapless customers willingly cooperate with this abuse by squeezing into those skinny puppies.

And why women subject themselves to stiletto heels is beyond me. The Chinese practiced footbinding for 1,000 years and by so doing crippled millions of young girls. Footbinding was banned at the turn of the century and for good reason. The practice was so grotesque that in fact, 10 percent of the girls who were subjected to that form of torturous beautification died of sepsis before the two-year process was finished. And let’s not forget the Cinderella fairy tale which highlighted how only one girl could slip into that tiny glass slipper. Thank goodness comfortable shoes are getting more popular. Last night when I was standing in an Italian restaurant someone remarked to me “Hey aren’t those Samuel Hubbard boots? Nice, I’m impressed.” I stopped into Eric Comfort Shoe store last weekend to interview the owner Abraham Thomas. Continued on Page 30

Running to honor a beloved teacher Sewanhaka High School grad to compete in half marathon honoring teacher with Alzheimers BY OL I V I A R I G G I O

When Sewanhaka High School teacher Peggy McHugh attended Sacred Heart Academy as a teenager, she met Sister Mary Sheridan. Sheridan was McHugh’s homeroom teacher during her sophomore and junior years and, with tough love, taught her students the importance of punctuality. “Some teachers would just let you in a little bit late, but Sister Mary was very strict and she wouldn’t,” McHugh said. “She taught me how to be on time.” But, McHugh said, Sheridan was also gentle, compassionate and kind and had many other lessons to be learned that went beyond promptness. “She has taught me that prayers move mountains and giving creates happiness,” she said. The two were close during McHugh’s high school years, but drifted apart for some time after graduation. They reunited in 2002 when McHugh’s father took a teaching job at Sacred

Though Sheridan and McHugh were 48 years apart in age, they became best friends. Sheridan is now 90 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease five years ago. She is in as-

sisted living at the Sacred Heart Convent in Hempstead, where McHugh and her family visit her regularly. McHugh, a math teacher who lives in Wantagh, will be

running the Long Island HalfMarathon Sunday in honor of Sheridan and to raise awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. The choice to run the half-marathon,

McHugh said, came from the difficulty of watching her friend struggle with the disease. McHugh said Sheridan — who received a master’s degree in the classics from Hunter College, a master’s in Spanish from Queens College and taught Latin from the 1960s until she retired in 2004 — was one of the most intelligent people she had ever met. McHugh said she wanted to turn this suffering into an opportunity to raise awareness. “There is no brighter individual than Sister Mary,” she said. “So I felt like, ‘Oh, my gosh, something has to come good out of this, so I’m going to run.’ … I feel like this is an opportunity for me to raise money for the horrible disease she suffers from.” There are about five million people in the United States living with Alzheimer’s and some 50,000 on Long Island, said Chris Schneider, the foundation’s director of communications. Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the country and the only one in the top 10 without a cure or a disease-modContinued on Page 62

Executive chef William “Willy” Turcios and Julio Navarro, the food and beverage manager at the Inn at Great Neck, will be showcasing a new menu.

Inn at G.N. eatery to add ‘Southern flair’ BY JA N E LL E C L AUS E N Brasserie Americana, a high-end restaurant at 30 Cuttermill Road in the Inn at Great Neck, has showcased itself as a French-American bistro. Now, after months of work, the restaurant is planning to display a new side with a new menu. “As far as the French-American [cuisine], that’s something we’ve definitely been successful with,” Julio Navarro, the food and beverage manager at the Inn at Great Neck, said last Thursday. “But now we’re just trying to explore a diﬀerent venture with that.” Navarro said that he and executive chef William “Willy” Turcios, whom he has known for nearly a decade, have been testing ideas for months. Now, he said, they’re aiming for more of a gastro pub feel – American-based food “with Southern flair” that “goes really well

paired with beer.” The new menu, which Navarro said will be rolled out next week after Long Island Restaurant Week, features items like brasserie wild wings, French onion soup, lagunitas braised chicken, fudge molten lava cake, and the Flaming Cuttermill, a half pound prime sirloin with American cheese, pickled jalapeños, applewood smoked bacon and habañero mayo encrusted truﬄe fries. Turcios and Navarro also highlighted the beer-battered fish and grits, red velvet cheesecake, short ribs served over mashed potatoes and Flatbread Americana, which is topped with prosciutto, ricotta, arugula, fig jam spread and drizzled balsamic. When Brasserie Americana presents its new menu, it will have Turcios, a chef with two decades of experience under his belt, in the kitchen. Continued on Page 74

OUR TOWN

Comfortable shoes a valuable service Continued from Page 22 On this Saturday the store was packed and all his 10-member sales crew were busy waiting on customers. Abraham and I sat down for a few minutes and he told me that this store is one of a chain of nine stores but is the only one in Nassau County. He said, “People are getting smart nowadays. They want style, but also insist on comfort. People work long hours and need a shoe they can wear from 9 to 9 without pain.” This guy is speaking my language. He said his most popular shoes include Ecco, Samuel Hubbard, Mephisto, Rockports and Clarks. I like the salesmen there because not only do they smile and attend to me quickly, but they ac-

tually remember what I have bought there in the past. When I asked the owner about their training he told me, “I send them for a one-month training course in Manhattan before they start so they can understand what there is to know about feet and shoe construction.” He told me that they also make custom shoes as well which cater to diabetics and amputees. I asked him to tell me an interesting shoe story and he smiled and brought over a nice looking pair of women’s sandals with the label Beautifeel. “These are high-end women’s sandals, which was a huge investment for me initially. My staﬀ met three times prior to us purchasing them and they all told me not to do it.

Something told me it was a good investment so I decided to go ahead and this shoe is now our third best seller. Once you put in on, you will buy it.” Of course, that’s a sign of a good item. It‘s called the wow factor. If a shoe is made extremely well, the moment you slip it on you know immediately that its quality and you will buy it. Quality always sells because people want things that work well. Abraham Thomas is yet another smart businessman who owns a local store providing our town with a valuable and unique service. Long live downtown storekeepers, long live those brave risktaking entrepreneurs and most certainly, long live comfortable shoes.

Preaching heavy metal in Huntington

here are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest has during their nearly 50-year career. Their presence and influence remains at an all-time high as evidenced by the success of their 2018 album, Firepower. One of the 2018 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees, winners of the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, and 2006 VH1 Rock Honors recipients, Judas Priestoriginally formed in 1969 in Birmingham, England, an area many believe birthed heavy metal. Founding members Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing and Ian Hill would be the nucleus of musicians, along with several diﬀerent drummers over the years, that would go on to change the face of heavy metal. After a “feeling out” period of a couple of albums, including 1974’s Rocka Rolla and 1976’s Sad Wings of Destiny, the lineup hit their stride. The result was a quartet of albums that separated Priest from the rest of the hard rock pack — 1977’s Sin After Sin, 1978’s Stained Class and Hell Bent for Leather, and 1979’s Unleashed in the East. Itcould be said that Judas Priest owned the 1980s as they were second to none as far

as pure metal goes, releasing such all-time classic albums as 1980’s British Steel, 1981’s Point of Entry, 1982’s Screaming for Vengeance, and 1984’s Defenders of the Faith. These titles spawned enduring metal anthems like “Breaking the Law,” “Living After Midnight,” “Heading Out to the Highway,” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming.” Theremainder of the ’80s saw Priest embrace more melodic hard rock sounds on 1986’s Turbo and 1988’s Ram it Down, in addition to their second live set, 1987’s Priest… Live!, before releasing arguably the heaviest release of their entire career, 1990’s Painkiller, that coincided with the arrival of Scott Travis on drums. 2008 saw the release of their double disc concept album, Nostradamus, which peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, and a year later A Touch of Evil: Live was issued, which led to the group’s aforementioned Grammy Award win due to a killer rendition of the classic, “Dissident Aggressor.” In 2009, Priest began a celebration of the 30-year anniversary of the release of their classic British Steel album, a tour in which the group performed the album in its entirety, and was followed by an expanded double disc version in 2010 and a DVD of their live show.

By 2011, Downing announced that he was exiting the band. With a still burning desire to continue flying the flag of metal, Judas Priest continued on by enlisting newcomer Richie Faulkner on guitar. The move seemed to have reinvigorated the band, as evidenced by a show-stealing performance on the TV show “American Idol.” Also in 2011 was the release of The Chosen Few, followed by the Epitaph concert DVD in 2013, and Redeemer of Souls in 2014, which scaled the U.S. charts to No. 6. On the heels of their nomination for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Judas Priest issued their latest album, Firepower, which has become one of the most successful of the band’s entire career, including their highest chart placement in the U.S. at No. 5, and scoring their highest-charting commercial rock single in decades with “Lightning Strike.” After wrapping up a highly successful North American tour in 2018, Judas Priest continues to bring Firepower to concertgoers across the country, with two shows scheduled at The Paramount on Tuesday, May 14 and Wednesday, May 15 at 8 p.m. Tickets are available by going to www. paramountny.com.The Paramount is located at 370 New York Ave. in Huntington.

Children ages 4 to 8 can join this workshop where they will explore unique marine moms and the special ways they care for their babies, as well as make a whale and calf reusable tote bag.

Juliette Binoche and Guillame Canet reunite with acclaimed director Olivier Assayas (Personal Shopper, Carlos) for this wry, slyly seductive tale of sex, lies, and literature. Set amidst the bohemian intelligentsia of the Parisian publishing world, Non-Fiction traces the romantic and emotional fallout that results when a controversial writer (Vincent Macaigne) begins blurring the line between fact and fiction, using his real-life love affairs—including a passionate fling with an actress (Binoche) who happens to be married to his editor (Canet)—as fodder for his explosive new novel. Balancing dry wit with keen observations on the tensions between art, commerce, and technology, Non-Fiction is a buoyant, breezy delight from a master director at his most effortlessly brilliant.

UPCOMING SHOWS AT

THE SPACE AT WESTBURY! THEATER

Singer Hawkins at Landmark May 10 American singer-songwriter Sophie B. Hawkins’ first two albums, Tongues and Tails and Whaler, were certified Gold and earned her a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and six New York Music Awards. Her singles, “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” and “Right Beside You,” spent months in the top 10 on Billboard singles charts in the U.S. and in Europe. The recent January issue of Elle magazine ranked “Damn” as one of the Top Love Songs of All Time. “As I Lay Me Down” and “Lose Your Way” from Hawkins’ third album, Timbre, were featured on the TV show, “Dawson’s Creek.” With nine albums to her credit, her music has been played in the films “40 Days and 40 Nights,” “Bounce,” “New Years Eve,” “Mrs. Winterbourne,” “Now and Then” and “The Associate,” and on television shows in-

cluding “The Blacklist,” “Party of Five” and “Northern Lights.” Throughout her career, Hawkins has performed live with Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Neil Young, Lou Reed, Chris Isaak, Kristen Chenoweth, Melissa Etheridge and Willie Nelson.

She recently took part in recording sessions and promotional events in Germany, including filming the syndicated music and talk show Night Grooves at the historic Schminke House in Löbau.

Bourbon at Belmont on Derby day

250 Post Avenue Westbury, NY 11590 • 516-283-5566 www.TheWestburyTheater.com Tickets available online at Ticketmaster.com Tickets can also be purchased for any show at The Space box office Tuesday-Thursday 12-5pm, Friday 12-8pm, Show Nights 5-9pm.

Long Island event producer, Starfish Junction, will once again host the bourbon tasting event at Belmont Park Racetrack on Saturday May 4,from 3 to 7 p.m. Bourbon at Belmont,hosted in conjunction with the New York Racing Association, will feature more than 30 bourbons for tasting, a selection of craft beers that have been bourbon barrel-aged, a live simulcast of the Kentucky Derby race, grandstand viewing of the track to enjoy live event day thoroughbred racing, and convenient betting windows. “Bourbon whiskey and horse racing may be associated with Kentucky, but there’s an older tradition of whiskey making and horse racing in New York that goes back all the way to the 1600s,” said Colin Spoelman, cofounder of Kings County Distillery, New York City’s oldest and largest craft distillery. “We think it’s fitting to serve New York bourbon at Belmont for the Kentucky Derby as it is a New York spin on a Kentucky tradition. With bourbon popular right now, this event is a great way to try some of the classics and some creative whiskeys from newer local distilleries, too.” The bourbons that will be served include prestigious brands, such as Woodford Reserve, Larceny, Wild Turkey, Whistle Pig, and Elijah Craig, plus highly-praised local producers like Brooklyn’s Kings County Distilleryand Widow Jane Distillery and Long Island’s newest, Montauk Hard Label. “This event will be an afternoon filled with extraordinary bourbon and beer tastings, live racing, a simulcast of the running

of the Kentucky Derby, and for those feeling lucky, convenient betting windows inside the event footprint,” said Andy Calimano, owner of Starfish Junction. “This Kentucky Derby day celebration will be a truly unforgettable experience for all who attend. It combines the love of bourbon and the love of horse racing, two passions shared by many.” Tickets, which are $65 per person, are on sale now and include the bourbon and beer sampling, grandstand viewing of the day’s live scheduled races, the simulcast of the Kentucky Derby, and a souvenir taster glass. The event will be held in the North Shore Terrace viewing pavilion on the fourth floor of Belmont Park Racetrack. Food will be available for purchase from venue concessions. This is a 21 and older event. Designated driver tickets are also available for $12 each. No one under 21, including designated drivers, will be admitted and photo ID is required for entry. Parking is $3 per car. Belmont Park Racetrack, home of the Belmont Stakes, the third leg of the Triple Crown, is located at 2150 Hempstead Turnpike in Elmont. Ticket links and more information about the festival are available at www.BourbonAtBelmont.com.

Tips for dining out on Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and this special holiday serves to honor all those women who devote so much time and eﬀort to their families. While gifts and other trinkets are certainly part of the celebration, a vast majority of children opt to treat Mom to a night out on the town come Mother’s Day. Not only does this give mom a night oﬀ from cooking, but also it presents an opportunity to get dressed up and spend time together as a family. A vast number of families travel to their favorite restaurants for Mother’s Day meals. Mother’s Day is one of the busiest holidays of the year for restaurants. The National Retail Federation says 54.8 percent of Americans treat their mothers to a special meal out on Mother’s Day. Billions of dollars are generated by people eating out with their mothers. With large crowds to be expected, diners can follow a few tips when treating Mom to a meal. * Book early ... very early. To guarantee a reservation at any restaurant, namely your favorite restaurant, you will need to make

a reservation well in advance of Mother’s Day. It’s never too early to put your name on the reservation list. Don’t forget Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 14, 2017. * Expect to wait. Even with a reservation, you’re bound to spend some time waiting at the restaurant. Other families may be lingering at their tables, as no one wants to rush Mom out of the door. Plan accordingly for

a potentially long wait time. This means having a snack before you leave. Don’t arrive famished, as no one wants the dining party to be hungry and cranky, which is not a good way to celebrate Mom. Have plenty of snacks and drinks on hand for young children, as well as activities to keep them entertained. * Consider dining out a day before or after. Restaurants are

generally packed on Mother’s Day, and as a result kitchen and wait staﬀs might be overtaxed. What’s more, diners might be relegated to a special or abbreviated menu. If you want a more relaxed setting and the ability to order whatever you desire, it may be a better idea to celebrate Mother’s Day in advance. Then have Mom enjoy a relaxing day at home on her special day.

* Take-out is an option. Families can treat Mom to a dinner out, without really having to go out. Many restaurants oﬀer takeout service, so you will not be limited to pizza or Chinese. Even chain restaurants have curbside service, so if Mom is in the mood for a burger or something more elaborate, she’ll have that option. * Expect an included gratuity. Restaurants often include a gratuity in the bill when servicing larger parties, such as those that might be celebrating Mother’s Day. The standard gratuity rate is 18 percent, but you may want to go above and beyond if you feel the service is exemplary. * Hire a sitter for young kids. Although Mother’s Day is a chance for the entire family to spend time together, the main goal is to ensure Mom’s comfort and happiness. If very young children are in tow, she may not be able to relax and enjoy her meal. Infants will need to be fed, and toddlers may be easily distracted. Have a sitter watch little ones when adults are dining out, and then Mom can enjoy time with the kids when she returns home for more celebrating.

Mothers may perform similar tasks, but no two moms are the same. Finding ways to celebrate Mom’s uniqueness can make the day that much more meaningful and memorable. The Crafter Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craft-themed Mother’s Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun afternoon and produce mementos that Mom will cherish for years to come. Dads and kids can plan the project in advance without Mom’s knowledge, arranging all of the materials ahead of time and setting up the crafting station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother’s Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by making their own craft for Mom and giving it to her as a Mother’s Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served. The Reader A 2017 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women read more than men. Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother’s Day focused on Mom’s love of

books an ideal and unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom their own books, and Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores and look for original copies of Mom’s favorite books that she might not find elsewhere. The Nature Lover Fishing and other outdoor activities might have a reputation as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that’s not really the case. A 2016 report from the Outdoor Foundation found that 46 percent of people who participated in outdoor activities were women. If Mom is a nature enthusiast, families can plan a Mother’s Day enjoying the great outdoors, even giving Mom a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity. The Relaxation Specialist Of course, some mothers may want to simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother’s Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consecutive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A relaxing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for moms to begin Mother’s Day before they enjoy a brunch of dinner out with their families. Mother’s Day celebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated.

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, May 3, 2019

Bridging the distance on Mother’s Day Many modern families are spread out across the country if not the globe. Some people move away from family to further their careers, while others are called upon to care for others. Children may separate from their parents to witness new travel experiences. Military service may call individuals away from home as well. Distance can make it challenging to spend time together for major holidays and other special occasions - like Mother’s Day. But Mother’s Day can still be special even if Mom lives hundreds or thousands of miles away. Embrace technology Technology helps break down some of the barriers created by distance. While phone calls were once the way to keep in touch, many people now utilize various forms of digital communication. Someone who lives across diﬀerent time zones can talk through texting or the various social media avenues available on computers, phones and tablets. Video apps like Skype and FaceTime enable you to video chat with others in real time. Come Mother’s Day, connect with mom via such apps so you can watch her open up her gifts.

Reconnect with home If Mom is the one who ventured from home, help her to reconnect with her hometown or another place she feels attached to. Ship her some favorite regional foods that can only be bought in town. Make a photo or video montage of places of interest in town. These little touches of home can mean the world to her. Create a special day Even if you do not live near your mother, you can still plan a fun day for her in her town. Make reservations for a spa, hair salon or other sources of pampering and surprise her with all the details. Treat her to the ultimate surprise If possible, make a surprise visit this Mother’s Day. Coordinate the plan with your father or another relative and then enjoy seeing her eyes light up when you arrive. With a little creativity, even families separated by geography can share the magic of Mother’s Day together.

Unique Mother's Day gift ideas Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers, and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families. Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother's Day. Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother's Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on Mom's interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother's Day gift. · Explore spa packages. What mother won't benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother's Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets. · Dining out can be a treat. A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother's Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother's Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift giv-

ers can cook a meal at home on Mother's Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant. · Schedule a paint and sip. A paint and sip session is a unique gift. A session is typically two hours and includes stepby-step instructions. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and their favorite beverages. With the right planning, wellintentioned children can turn the evening into a "ladies night out" and encourage other moms to join in the fun. Or the entire family can paint masterpieces together. · Give tickets to a show or sporting event. Whether Mom is a sports fan or she prefers the theater or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift. Unique gift ideas include tickets to Cirque du Soleil, Shen Yun or a Broadway play. · Give the gift of wine tasting. Wineries can be found across the country and frequently open their doors to wine tastings and wine pairing events. A Mother's Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family and support local businesses. Check the vineyard's rules on guests. Many times those under 21 can attend but will not be permitted to consume wine, though other refreshments may be available. Mother's Day oﬀers the perfect opportunity to lavish attention on special women. Gifts that cater to Mom's interests will make the biggest splash.

Surprise Mom with a special dessert in her honor Mothers selflessly devote themselves to their children from infancy into adulthood. A mother’s love never wanes, and she’s always ready and willing to step in and put her children first. Mother’s Day is a great chance for men, women and children to honor the special women in their lives. Delicious homemade treats can show mothers just how much they’re appreciated and adored. Try this tasty recipe for “Cold Mango Souﬄés Topped with Toasted Coconut” from “The Complete Mexican, South American & Caribbean Cookbook” (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli. Cold Mango Souﬄés Topped With Toasted Coconut (Makes 4) 4 small mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon powdered gelatine

2 egg yolks 1/2 cup superfine sugar 1/2 cup milk 1 1/4 cups heavy cream Grated rind of one orange Toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut, to decorate Place a few pieces of mango in the base of each of four 2/3-cup ramekins. Wrap a creased collar of nonstick parchment paper around the outside of each dish, extending well above the rim. Secure with adhesive tape, then tie tightly with string. Pour the water into a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface. Leave for 5 minutes or until spongy. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water, stirring occasionally, until the gelatine has dissolved. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the superfine sugar and milk in another

heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools. Whisk in the liquid gelatine. Puree the remaining mango pieces in a food processor or blender, then fold the puree into the egg yolk mixture with the orange rind. Set the mixture aside until starting to thicken.

Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Reserve 4 tablespoons and fold the rest into the mango mixture. Spoon into the ramekins until the mixture is 1 inch above the rim of each dish. Chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set. Carefully remove the paper collars from the souﬄés. Spoon a little of the reserved cream on top of each souﬄé and decorate with some toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Author to discuss Warren Zevon’s music As is the case with so many musicians, the life of American rock singer and songwriter Warren Zevon was blessed with talent and opportunity, yet also beset by tragedy and setbacks. Raised mostly by his mother, with an occasional cameo from his gangster father, Zevon had an aﬃnity and talent for music at an early age. Taking to the piano and guitar almost instantly, he began imitating and soon creating songs at every opportunity. After an impromptu performance in the right place at the right time, a record deal landed on the lap of a teenager who was eager to set out on his own and make a name for himself. But of course, where fame is concerned, things are never quite so simple. In “Nothing’s Bad Luck: The Lives of Warren Zevon,” Long Island author and journalist C.M. Kushins tells the story of this rock legend whose biggest hit, “Werewolves of London,” is still heard on radio stations and

music playlists. Drawing on original interviews with those closest to Zevon, including his ex-wife Crystal Zevon, Jackson Browne, Mitch Albom, Danny Goldberg, Barney Hoskyns, and Merle Ginsberg,Kushins examines Zevon’s troubled personal life and ever-changing musical style, emphasizing the moments when the two were inseparable. Ultimately, he paints Zevon as a compelling musical genius worthy of the same tier as that of Bob Dylan and Neil Young. “Nothing’s Bad Luck” finally gives Zevon the in-depth biographical treatment he deserves, making the life of this complex artist accessible to fans old and new for the first time. Kushins will speak about and sign copies of his book at Book Revue on Tuesday, May 7 at 7 p.m. Book Revue is located at 313 New York Ave. in Huntington. The event is free and open to the public.

Cabaret tribute to Cole Porter at Emanuel The seventh season of Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel continues on Tuesday, May 14 at 7:30 p.m., when Harvey Granat and Cheryl Segall are joined by award-winning American cabaret singer Jeﬀ Harnar to pay tribute to the American composer Cole Porter. “Night and Day,” “Begin the Beguine,” “In The Still of the Night,” “Just One of Those Things,” and “True Love” are just some of the iconic songs that will be performed; the stories behind the songs and shows and films for which they were written will make for a festive Cole Porter celebration. Accompaniment will be provided by the David Lahm Duo. Granat performs at many supper clubs, resorts and cultural venues including the Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts, McCallum Theater

in Palm Springs, multiple engagements at Feinstein’s at the Regency, the Metropolitan Room in New York, Birdland and Canyon Ranch Resort, where he appears every other week and has done over 175 shows. He has performed at private functions, including at the Norton Museum in West Palm Beach, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Miami and several of the largest libraries and synagogues in the New York area. His shows are unique in that they typically focus on a composer and/or lyricist, combining his singing of their songs with fascinating “inside” stories of their lives, films and shows. Segall is an interpreter of the American songbook. She has appeared at some of the leading performance venues in New York, including her sold-out show at the Metropolitan Room and shows at Feinstein’s

Cheryl Segall, Harvey Granat & Jeff Harnar

at the Regency, the Duplex and 92nd St Y. In addition, she appears at libraries and cultural centers. Some of her shows focus on the songs and lives of great performers, including Carole King, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt, Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand and the Carpenters. Harnar is an American cabaret singer and recording artist with a smooth, baritone voice and a fondness for the Broadway musical repertoire. His Carnegie Hall appearances include both the Cole Porter and Noel Coward centennial galas, and he regularly headlines in clubs and theaters all over the United States, in addition to producing and directing supper club and Oﬀ-Broadway shows. He is the winner of the 2014, ’15, ’17 and, most recently, the 2018 Broadway World Cabaret Awards for Best Male Vocalist, as well as multiple MAC Awards. Admission to the performance is $25 and includes two glasses of wine with refreshments. General admission seating is also available at $18. Call 516-482-5701 to purchase tickets.

Shear fun with sheep An evening of love at Queens Farm fest songs on May 18 Time to get a little bit country at Queens County Farm Museum’s annual Sheep Shearing Festival! The Sheep Shearing Festival is on Saturday, May 11 from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. While the farm’s sheep get their much-needed spring “haircuts” for all to see, visitors will enjoy the foot-stomping rhythms of bluegrass duo Coyote & Crow along with farmer-led tours that detail the growing practices and mission of the farm across its 47-acre site. Visitors may even pick up a few tips for their own home gardens! The fiber arts will be celebrated at the festival through craft-making activities and demonstrations in needle-felting, yarn dyeing, wool spinning, weaving and patch-work quilting for all ages along throughout the afternoon. There will be hayrides and tasty local food on the farm all day along with the always popular Adopt-a-Worm composting program at the Con Edison Ecology Booth. The farm’s famed Farm Store will have an abundance of fresh produce including lettuce, spinach, kale, pea shoots, asparagus, cilantro, radishes and swiss chard. You will need to get to the farm early to scoop up a dozen of its farm eggs. The farm also sells honey from its own hives, naturally hand-dyed yarn from its sheep and dried herbs for tea. Spring plants will be on sale for home gardeners and soonto-be home gardeners. New this year, Queens’ own Bridge & Tunnel Brewery will host a Beer Garden with featured brews for Sheep Shearing Festival! Bridge & Tunnel was established in 2012. By 2014, they were named by Business Insider as one of the top 10 breweries in New York State and again in 2015 they were recognized as one of 22 breweries in the United States “that every beer lover should know.” Bridge & Tunnel has been bringing its spent grains, a brewing byproduct also known as brewer’s mash, to Queens Farm since that first batch in September 2012. Brewer’s mash is rich in protein and fiber, which is a great nutrient oﬀering for the farm’s animals. The farm feeds this treat to its hens, pigs, goats and, of course,

its sheep. In the winter months, most The Rockaway-Five Towns Symphony animals need an increase in their caloric Orchestra led by conductor and music direcintake to keep them warm. The brewer’s tor Louis Panacciulli will present its spring mash is a great way to supplement calories while also providing the animals with some extra protein and fiber. A few hundred batches later, Bridge & Tunnel founder Rich Castagna still drives the truckload of spent grains to the farm, often with one of his 3 daughters in tow. It’s a family business that connects Conductor Louis Panacciulli deeply to the history and mission of the Queens County Farm Museum. “A Sheep Shearing Festival in New York City? Of course,” noted Jennifer Walden Weprin, Executive Director of the Queens County Farm Museum. “The farming communities and colonial homesteads built this city in to the teaming metropolis that it is today. Come on down to the farm and experience it!” The Sheep Shearing Festival will be held on Saturday, May 11 2019 from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm.

Continued from Page 4 rival on the board, it has made a “massive effort” to equalize the opportunities for students to take AP classes, particularly at Wheatley School. He also said that the board worked to expand opportunities to study languages, especially at Willets Road School. “We’ve encouraged everyone to give it a shot,” said Keefe. Keefe said that he is also proud of the “complete U-turn” that the board has made with regard to bonding. He said that the board worked toward developing a capital reserve instead of using bonds and that this saves money. Littman is currently president of Rising Stars, a non-for-profit youth foundation that aims to help develop and enrich children’s lives. According to Littman, Rising Stars currently provides scholarships to 38 boys and girls to attend private schools, and also offers tutoring, ACT and SAT prep. Littman said that the group is negotiating with Nassau County to build an athletic educational facility through Rising Stars. He said that this would really effect change and give more children advantages for higher education. “I want to be able to get them the same advantages in preparation for high-

er education that my kids have,” said Littman. “I want to make the playing field as fair as I can. That’s why I’m working with Rising Stars and the school board.” Mineola Cheryl Lampasona is running unopposed for re-election to the Mineola Board of Education. Lampasona joined the board in 2016. She ran unopposed for Vice President Patricia Navarra’s seat after Navarra stepped down to pursue a position with a national collective bargaining group for college professors. This will be Lampasona’s second term on the board. Previously, she was co-president of the Hampton Street School PTA. She has worked as a full-time and parttime school teacher. Lampasona joined the board shortly after the movement of Mineola parents opting their children out of controversial state tests aligned with Common Core educational standards. Lampasona has said that she thinks that it is good that parents have a choice in the matter. Eﬀorts to reach Lampasona were unavailing. The school board elections will be May 21.

Jews were in Israel before Palestinians

ames Ansel writing in the Island News April 22 writes dispassionately but disingenuously in regard to BDS not being anti-Semitic in intent. The U.S. State Department defines anti-Semitism as the intent to deny the Jewish people a right of self-determination in their historic homeland. The State of Israel emerged as a result of Jews returning to their homeland, a pioneering spirit, draining of swampland and settling in barren and desert areas, scientific and agricultural advances, a steady laying of infra-structure during the Ottoman Period and the British Mandate, decades of international diplomacy, land purchase from those who had title, and eventually consensus and international approval in the UN world forum in 1948. The land of Israel is a land whose indigenous people are not the Palestinians, but rather the Jewish people, descendants of Judaens and Israelite tribes that inhabited the land for 1,300 years prior to expulsion two millennia ago by the Romans. They have yearned for it in prayer, and attempted to inhabit it over centuries since. To deny the nation state of the Jewish people in their historic homeland is antiSemitism. And that is precisely the objective of the leaders of BDS, who make no secret of their desire to dismantle Israel as a Jewish state and ensconce Palestinians there from sea to

sea.

Who exactly are the Palestinians? Some 10 percent may have been there for several centuries. But the vast majority are an amalgam of Arab peoples from all corners of the Ottoman Empire — Syria, Libya, Egypt, Iraq and elsewhere who came in during the last years of the Ottoman Empire in the early 20th century. They arrived during the British Mandate of Palestine in the interwar period in the teens, 20s and 30s in search of gainful employment, helping to lay the infrastructure of an incipient nation: the State of Israel. In 1870, Mark Twain came to an essentially barren land. But by the 1930s and ’40s the Arab population had ballooned well beyond what would have been possible by reproduction. The Arab population skyrocketed not in the Arab villages and cities but in and around the Jewish development. This occurred while Jewish emigration was being blocked by the British. Robert F. Kennedy reported about this in 1947 in the Boston Herald. The Jews of Tel Aviv were proud of the fact that 500,000 Arab workers from all over the Levant found their way to mandate Palestine because of the expansion factories, of urban areas, and the laying of pipe, electrical grid, roadwork, and train track. At every turn in the development of the State of Israel its leaders expressed an interest in

helping the Arab sector — not in eclipsing it — to facilitate its own autonomy not dispossessing it. Regarding the claim that Ansel makes that the Palestinians were “innocent of the Holocaust,” the foremost leader of Palestinian nationalism that began in earnest only in 1920 was Haj Amin Husseini, a rabid anti-Semite who was an ally of Hitlerand lived in Berlin for several years. In his desire for Pan Arabism (at the time he wasn’t interested in ruling only Palestinian Arabs) Husseini recruited Algerian, Tunisian and Bosnian Muslims in the thousands to fight for the Third Reich. In exchange he received a promise from Heinrich Himmler, who orchestrated the mass extermination of Jews, that no Jewish children could be deported to the Holy Land because they would “grow up to be Jewish adults.” (He brags about this in his own memoirs.) Some think that it was in the wake of talks with the Mufti of Jerusalem Husseini that the Nazis decided at Wannasee that extermination of the Jews was the only way they could be removed from Europe. Of course, this is not to say that there weren’t more reasonable voices among the Palestinians. Some argued for accommodation with the Zionist state in exchange for their own autonomy and statehood. However, the rejectionist anti-Semitic

leadership of the Palestinians intimidated by imprisonment, brutality and assassination those that counseled moderation. Husseini was known for his brutality and the murder of his opponents. This trend has continued from the time Husseini was eclipsed by PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat. In 1967, for instance, when PM Levi Eshkol sent a delegation to the clans of the West Bank to oﬀer the Arabs their autonomy after capturing the land from Jordan, many replied they would like to do so, but if they did they would get a bullet in the head. Sadly this remains the trend with Hamas and with Abbas and Fatah as well. The moderates fear for their lives. The rejectionists call the shots. And instead of lifting a finger to improve the lives of their people, these corrupt leaders aggrandize both wealth and power. Regarding the so called “offensive assault” of the Israelis in 1967, that is sheer nonsense. The author clearly wants to establish that this was not a defensive war the Israelis fought, and therefore there is no international legal sanction of “to the victor goes the spoils.” However, Ansel misleads the reader. Firing the first shot does not an aggressor make. Egyptian President Gamal Nasser had declared publicly for months that his intent was to exterminate the nation of Israel and drive it into the sea. He had

kicked out the UN peacekeepers in the Sinai disengagement line, had blocked Israeli shipping through the straits of Tiran. His armies amassed at the border ready for invasion. It was then that Israel made a pre-emptive strike. It was also then that Israel pleaded with Jordan not to intervene, but when three others nation’s forces attacked, Israel counterattacked and took possession of Judae and Samaria, i.e. the West Bank of the Jordan, East Jerusalem included, and the Golan Heights from Syria. As far as U.S. foreign policy is concerned, AIPAC’s role is to advocate for the best interests of the State of Israel. It does so on a much smaller budget than lobbyists representing the Arab States do. Its role is to maximize good relations between the two countries, encourage bipartisan support of Israel and try to assure Israel’s qualitative military edge. This is because if hostile Palestinians, Iran and other malignant actors would put their weapons away and negotiate, there would be a political arrangement and peace would be at hand. The six eﬀorts of various governments of Israel in 1947, 1967, 1993, 2000, and 2005, 2008 attest to Israel’s effort to find a peaceful solution. However, if Israel put down its weapons, it would be wiped oﬀ the face of the earth. Ian Silverman Greenlawn

Worship: an antidote to anti-Semitism

ere we are again, another Shabbat morning slaughter, this time at the Chabad of Poway, Calif. No religion seems spared: churches, mosques and synagogues all prey for hate-filled murderers. Each equally tragic, each victim an immeasurable loss. And yet for us Jews, the images of another bloodied Shabbat morning sanctuary seize and break our hearts. In her new book, “AntiSemitism Here and Now,” Emory University historian Dr. Deborah Lipstadt is asked to explain anti-Semitism to two of her students. She writes, “It is hard, if not impossible, to explain something that is essentially irrational, delusional, and absurd.” As we summon prayers for comfort and healing for the vic-

tims of this terror attack and their families, our response must be both practical and an act of faith. First the practical. Our temple leadership’s decision to dramatically increase our security measures at temple was wise and necessary. I know it’s an added expense, and I am grateful for your support. We continue to benefit from their guidance and training in addition to our security agents’ daily presence Nonetheless, we must not allow our fears to paralyze us or to draw us away from our Jewish faith. Come to temple for prayer, for learning and for fellowship. We will defy hatred and demagoguery with a reaffirmation of our commitments to Jewish life, to each other, and to the Jewish future. And more.

The purveyors of bigotry and anti-Semitism want us to retreat into our tribes and turn against each other. We will refuse and we will continue to fight for security, dignity and justice for all Americans, celebrating our diversity and elevating what unites us in common purpose and patriotism This Wednesday evening begins Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. Our commemoration will take place this

coming Friday evening at Shabbat services at 6:45 p.m. Under the direction of master teacher Abbie Laskey, a group of sixthgraders and their parents will lead us in a beautiful, inspiring reflection on months of learning about the Holocaust. This is the sacred antidote to lethal anti-Semitism: our students, in humble reverence, both paying homage to the victims and aﬃrming a bright and vibrant Jewish future.

Come worship with us this coming Friday. Listen to these remarkable students. Together we will lift each other from fear and vulnerability and declare Am Yisrael Chai, the Jewish people live and will live with pride, dignity and hope, here and around the world, today and tomorrow and forever. Rabbi Michael A. White Temple Sinai of Roslyn

Help is there for suicidal military veterans

t has just come to my attention that, on the average, 22 military veterans kill themselves every day. This I found most troubling and very sad. I myself served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam era and suﬀered from depression. I thought of and tried to com-

mit suicide while being homeless after my discharge from the military in 1975, but I did get help. Therefore, I feel for these veterans and their families. I am now a member of the American Legion Post #103 in Douglaston and believe more

needs to be done for those who have served our country with dedication and courage to protect those freedoms we all hold most dear. Now they need our help now. The VA has programs that can help. There is also the Joseph P. Dwyer Peer Project that is an

initiative that lets veterans get counseling anonymously in a small group setting to manage post-traumatic stress disorder in addition to other disorders. This program is in 22 counties thoughout New York. But these programs can only help if the veteran decides to take the first

step and get help. So if you know a veteran in that situation, help them to take the first step. You will be glad that you did. For a life is so sacred. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

Sanctuary cities really about open borders

n response to Dr. Hal Sobel’s letter 0f April 26, 2019, “Sanctuary cities are beacons of hope,” I oﬀer the following quote from https://www. salon.com/2016/10/08/faith-inignorance-politicians-who-quotethe-bible-often-dont-know-anything-about-the-bible/ by Frances Flannery to address Dr. Sobel’s use of biblical quotes: “But generally politicians use the Bible as a bludgeon, as a hammer to make their point, while uncritically assuming their interpretation is the right one. That can be dangerous.” As for the shameless treatment of children and families at the southern border by the Trump administration, may I refresh Dr. Sobel’s memory by quoting the following 2014 (please note, that Obama was President in 2014) article from, https://www. azcentral.com/story/news/poli-

tics/immigration/2014/06/18/ arizona-immigrant-childrenholding-area-tour/10780449/ : “NOGALES — They are fed and clothed, kept clean and cool, far better oﬀ than if they were walking through the desert in June temperatures. They are undocumented. They entered the country illegally. And when they were apprehended by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, they were shipped to Nogales from overwhelmed processing facilities in Texas. But they are still children in cages, not gangsters, not delinquents. Just children, 900 of them, in a makeshift border-town processing center that is larger than a football field. They pass the day sitting on benches or lying side by side on tiny blue mattresses pressed up against each other on nearly every square inch

of the floor in the fenced areas.” In regard to President Trump threatening to send those illegal immigrants who seek asylum in the US to sanctuary cities, how can Trump be punishing sanctuary cities, the beacons of hope which implies they are most welcoming, when he is giving them exactly what they claim to believe in and want? The best response exposing the hypocrisy of Democratic Socialists was provided be the entertainer Cher when she tweeted on April 14, 2019 the following: “I Understand Helping struggling Immigrants, but MY CITY (Los Angeles) ISNT TAKING CARE OF ITS OWN.WHAT ABOUT THE 50,000+Citizens WHO LIVE ON THE STREETS.PPL WHO LIVE BELOW POVERTY LINE,& HUNGRY? If My State Can’t Take Care of Its Own(Many Are VETS)

How Can it Take Care Of More?” Dr. Sobel would find the complete article by Víctor Manuel Ramos, victor.ramos@newsday. com @vmramos Updated August 20, 2016 very informative. But for brevity I will only quote the following: “In past years, many of the recently arrived children did not report to school until at or after the beginning of classes in late August or early September, so administrators have not known what to expect. Systems on the Island that have enrolled unaccompanied minors, in addition to Freeport, include Brentwood, Central Islip, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Huntington, Riverhead and Westbury, along with districts on the East End.” In conclusion, I believe Dr. Sobel should carefully read the following quote from https:// en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An-

gel_Families, before mocking President Trump for showing real compassion to the memory and family of Kate Steinle: “On Friday 22 June, 2018, Trump hosted an event at the White House for Angel Families during which 14 relatives held 11 photos of deceased relatives who had been killed by immigrants who were in the country illegally.[7] Among those attending the event were Laura Wilkerson, mother of Josh; Juan Piña, father of Christy Sue Piña; Steve Ronnebeck, father of Grant; and Michelle Root, mother of Sarah.[8][9] Members of the families of more than three dozen diﬀerent individuals killed by illegal immigrants have appeared at events with Trump over the years.”[9] Walter J. Jaworski New Hyde Park

Money needed for quality LIRR service

et us all wish a Happy 185th Anniversary to the Long Island Rail Road. On April 24, 1834, the LIRR was oﬃcially chartered by the State of New York. In 1900, the Pennsylvania Railroad bought a controlling interest as part of its plan for direct access to Manhattan which began on Sept. 8, 1910. The Pennsylvania Railroad subsidized the LIRR into the late 1940s. This provided the financial basis for support of expansion and upgrades to service and infrastructure. At the end of World War Two, there began a decline of our LIRR with a corresponding loss of farebox revenues. The Pennsylvania Railroad began to reduce financial support as well. This played a part in the LIRR going into receivership in 1949. In recognition of the role the LIRR played in the economy of both Long Island and NYC, New York

State began providing financial assistance to the LIRR in the 1950s and 1960s. The “Line of the Dashing Dan” was oﬃcially chartered on April 24, 1965 by the State of New York. Prior to 1965, the LIRR derived almost 100 percent of its funding for both capital and operating expenses from fares. Chartered by the State Legislature in 1965 as the Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority (MCTA), it was created to purchase and operate the bankrupt LIRR. In 1966, New York State bought the railroad’s controlling stock from the Pennsylvania Rail Road and put it under the newly formed Metropolitan Commuter Transportation Authority. The MCTA changed its name to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) in 1968 when it took over operations of the NYC Transit Authority. With MTA subsidies, the

LIRR modernized further and grew into the busiest commuter railroad in the United States. Over the past 50 years, several billion dollars in combined county, city, state and federal taxpayers generated dollars have subsidized both the capital and operating costs for the LIRR. Riders must remember that fare hikes are periodically required if the MTA is to provide the services millions of New Yorkers use daily. They are inevitable due to inflation, along with increasing costs of labor, power, fuel, supplies, materials, routine safety, state of good repair, replacement of worn out rolling stock, upgrades to stations, yards and shops along with system expansion projects necessary to run any transit system. Half-hour weekly and weekend service on the Port Washington LIRR branch proves why it pays for my wife and I along with many of our neighbors to

live in Great Neck and northeast Queens. It is easier seven days a week to attend Met games, other Citi Field events, US Open, Arthur Ash stadium, Flushing Meadow Park, Queens Zoo, Madison Square Garden activities and Broadway shows on a regular basis. Those of us in the know already moved to communities adjacent to Long Island Rail Road Port Washington branch stations years or even decades ago. School districts covering Great Neck, Manhasset, Plandome and Port Washington along with neighboring Little Neck, Douglaston, Bayside and Auberndale in Queens are some of the best in the Metropolitan New York area. We have great air quality along with a low crime rate, abundant parks, libraries, shopping, entertainment, movie theaters, hospitals and medical facilities. Riders on the Port Washington branch have far more abundant seating and a quick 30 min-

ute or less trip into Penn Station without having to change at Jamaica than LIRR commuters on other branches. Port Washington branch riders miss most service disruptions. In the end, quality and frequency of service is dependent upon secure revenue streams. We all have to contribute—be it at the fare box or tax revenues generated by diﬀerent levels of government redistributed back to the MTA. TANSTAFFL or “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” or in this case a free ride.

‘Illegal’ immigrants a threat to our safety

his is my second letter on this subject and is in response to three articles in today’s paper. One is your Opinion piece, the second one is “Experts talk immigration impact on LI,” and the third is “Sanctuary cities are beacons of hope.” Your opinion piece doesn’t mention the word illegal until well into the article when you rave about how entrepreneurial they are, more church-going, less likely to commit crimes and morally straighter than the rest of us. Nowhere is it even suggested that they are law breakers or that they partake of any social services that we taxpayers pay for. It is all good. I volunteer as an RN for a clinic that treats indigent patients. 90 percent are here illegally and

getting their medications,x-rays, EKGs and all other tests at a nearby hospital at no cost to them. You and I are paying for all of it. Multiply that by the entire population across America. You then go on to minimize the crimes of MS 13 and pooh pooh Trump’sdescription of “blood-stained killing fields” where 17 murders have been committed and bodies buried. Believe me, there was plenty of blood. Tell that to their parents. You then go on to brag that the gang “has not killed a single person since then.” You don’t know that and you don’t know how many others have been buried and not found yet. Then we get to the “experts” raving about all of the benefits of immigration. Immigration is not

the problem, illegal immigration is the problem. All the anecdotes brought to their center confirm the benefits that immigration brings socially andeconomically. Unfortunately, that is not the case when it comes to illegal immigration Why don’t you contact the Angel Families — they have many anecdotes to tell you about rape and murder that you might find interesting. These anecdotesare documented in police precincts across America. To finish, you want to reward lawbreakers with driver’s licenses so they won’t speed away and cause accidents while they flee the police. Why don’t you just stand outside the banks of America and hand out cash so no one will rob any more banks anymore, or may-

be hand out heroin on the street so the drug cartels will cease to exist. Law means nothing to you people, and that is why people keep behaving badly. Then we come to our sanctuary city proponent who quotes the Bible. I have a quote of my own to share. Jesus said, “Render unto Caesar what is his.” In other words, pay your taxes and don’t break the law. Without laws there is anarchy. He goes oﬀ the deep end with his “Sophie’s Choice” comment, the Nazis and Hitler, and tries to compare the rationale for sanctuary cities with the dastardly deed of enforcing the laws of his own country. He is encouraging the aiding and abettingof lawbreakers. Laws that were put in place

to protect American citizens and taxpayers from harm, both fiscally and criminally, should be obeyed. I have never been arrested because I obey the laws. Kate Steinle is not the only personwho has fallen victim to an illegal alien. Do your homework, but she is one too many. I know, without a doubt, if your child was murdered by a felon in a sanctuary city and you found out that ICE was not notified of the felon’s releasefrom jail, that you would be shouting from the rooftops because not a week goes by that you are not spouting your leftist propaganda with the written word.

What materials are really garbage? Continued from Page 17 Answer: Yard waste acceptance facilities are not set up to have to open every plastic bag received. That would mean opening every bag by hand seasonally, when tens of thousands of bags

may be received. What happens if I accidentally put my yard waste out on the wrong day of the week? Answer: If properly set out it will be collected on the next scheduled yard waste collection day. Or

it could likely be collected as trash. To conclude, I would like to include a quote from Robert Lange for all of us to remember: “Good or successful recycling starts with the proper participation of the individuals targeted to set

out recyclables for scheduled pickups. If the targeted audience does not set out the proper materials… it is unlikely the eﬀort will be ultimately successful.” And if you would like some more info on plastic, this NY

Generation Y to dominate market Our inventory is still at historic lows at four months compared to normal inventory of six to seven month. The demand is still there, but the SALT tax, which capped state and local tax deductions at $10,000, has truly cooled oﬀ the higher end market, especially in those states with high real estate taxes. The blue states — New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and California — have been hard hit. We can thank our current president for this situation, causing many to leave the states they were brought up in to lower tax locations throughout the United States. Although the market for homes priced at under $1 million is still doing fairly well, that inventory is extremely tight. There is one specific reason why: 76 million Baby Boomers, age 55-75 years of age and the 20 million Silent Generation born between 1925-1942 are staying and living in place and not moving. Four out of ten Baby Boomers, or 40 percent, own a vacation or second home and 57 percent have ownership of all the vacation homes as well as 58 percent of all rental properties in the country, according to National Association of Realtors statistics. Because of this, a majority of Baby Boomers are staying in place because they have choices of six months here and six months in their second domicile in warmer weather. As of 2019, the breakdown by age looks like this: (statistics from the National Association of Realtors) Here are some additional brackets, hopefully to further clarify the various groups: Baby Boomers: Born 19461964 (54-72 years old); Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (38-53 years old); Millennials: Born 1981-1996 (22-37 years

old); Post-Millennials: Born 1997-Present (0-21 years old) • Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1944 and 1964. They are currently between 55-75 years old (76 million in U.S.) • Gen X: Gen X was born between 1964 -1979 and are currently between 40-54 years old (82 million people in U.S.) • Gen Y: Gen Y, or Millennials, were born between 1980 and 1994. They are currently between 25-39 years old. (78 million in U.S.) o Gen Y.1 = 25-29 years old (31 million people in U.S.) o Gen Y.2 = 29-39 (42 million people in U.S.) • Gen Z: Gen Z is the newest generation to be named and were born between 1995 and 2015. They are currently between 4-24 years old (nearly 74 million in U.S.) The term “Millennial” has become the popular way to reference both segments of Gen Y (more on Y.1 and Y.2 below). Realistically, the name Generation Z is a place-holder for the youngest people on the planet. It is likely to morph as they leave childhood and mature into their adolescent and adult identities. Generation Y – Born Between 1980-1995 The largest U.S. age group since the baby boom will make an unbelievable impact on the housing market. Here’s what you need to know to tap into this powerful market segment. Life without Google, communication without text messaging and real estate without virtual tours are hard to imagine for the millions of people who fall into Generation Y. As children of the Baby Boomers, this group is predicted to make up the bulk of the U.S. population within 20 years. That’s why it’s essential for Realtors to understand what makes Gen Y tick. After all, it

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

won’t be long before Gen Yers are a dominant segment of home buyers. If you want to have a future in the real estate business, you must think about the customer of tomorrow. To get a better feel for Gen Y, here are some quick facts: Becoming a majority. Experts say Gen Y ranges in size from 72 million to 78 million people nationwide and 2 billion worldwide. The Web is their playground. They track down their friends on MySpace and Facebook, they download their songs from iTunes, and they send emails from their phones while waiting in line at Starbucks. And you had better pay attention to their e-mails, because they expect a fast response They buy young. On average, Gen Yers buy homes at age 26, three years earlier than most Generation Xers, according to a real estate study. Gen Y is not just some kid out of college. They are kids with parents who want to see them get oﬀ to the right start and are willing to put 10 percent down on a house and have the kid pay the mortgage every month. They have hectic schedules. Their lives are a lot busier than their parents’ were at their age, they’re always moving. They do their research. Don’t try to pull one over on this age group.

You’d better know what you’re talking about because they will have done the research. The Importance of Technology It’s critical to embrace technology when working with young buyers. Nine out of ten Gen Yers have a home, lap-top computer or iPad. Almost all 97 percent have a cell phone or iphone FIX that is more advanced than your laptop, and 68 percent send text messages from their phone. Some 50 percent listed instant messaging as their preferred form of communication. It’s important to have a welldesigned and informative web site in order to appeal to this age group. It’s a given that young buyers will search for homes online, so make sure your site can be accessed through major search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing —even accessible through Facebook. If they don’t get what they want right away from the person who promised it, it’s just a phone call, e-mail, or text message away to recruit another Realtor to do the work. Is Younger Better? While Gen Yers want a Realtor whose is comfortable with technology, they also value the expertise of a veteran. They feel safer dealing with someone around their parents’ age. If you identify your experience and show that you’re tech savvy, that’s a nice combination for young buyers and sellers. Older agents already have the advantage, as long as they don’t get out-communicated by not having the right tools like a Blackberry, or iPhone. Even the most experienced and tech-savvy Realtors will fail to win over Gen Yers if they don’t treat their clients like adults. Ideas for Reaching Out to Gen Y With Gen Y becoming a more powerful segment of the real estate market, there’s huge potential in catering your business

directly to this demographic. • Advertise listings on Craigslist… This online classifieds Web site is hugely popular with all buyers and sellers, but especially with the Web-savvy Gen Y set. • Do not try to up-sell… find the home they want within their price range. They will love you. • Know what they like… Younger buyers tend to want a home that’s close to work; near a park (to walk the dog); and within walking distance to shopping, the gym, and local bars and restaurants. Easy home maintenance is also high on their list. So the future challenges will be available inventory, keeping up with the possible greatest demand to ever be realized in the United States as well as a more moderate price point and satisfying the specific changing “needs, wants and tastes of each group compared with the groups before them.” Philip A.

Roslyn median home: $1.04M Continued from Page 1 advocates for educational justice. The lowest performing districts are all in communities of color, she said. Hempstead’s median home sale value was the lowest listed for the county: $321,263. In the school district, 97 percent of students are black or Latino. In the Garden City school district, which had a median home sale value of $941,138, the student body is 88 percent white. “You can’t by law try to pack students of one race or ethnicity into a particular school in the corner of the district,” said Lawrence Levy, the executive dean of Hofstra University’s National Center for Suburban Studies. “You can have all minority Hempstead [school district] next to white Garden City.” Disparities in home sales also play out as disparities in funding for school programs because budgets rely heavily on property taxes. Freeport school district, with a median home sale value of $379,624, spends $5,200 less per student than the Nassau County average, according to the district. Before New York instituted a 2 percent tax cap, lower-income communities were routinely voting down their budgets because they couldn’t aﬀord to fund them, Tyson said. Now to avoid piercing the tax cap, districts find areas where they can cut

school district’s: $592,271. Their proposed 2019-20 budgets total nearly the same figure, with Manhasset at $99.49 million and Mineola at $99.95 million. That equates to about $30,464 per pupil in Manhasset and $34,467 in Mineola. Mineola’s schools, however, get sixes and sevens out of 10 on their greatschools.org rating while Manhasset’s get all nines. U.S. News & World Report ranks Mineola High School 4,509th nationally while Manhasset Secondary School is 228th. The average SAT score in Manhasset was 1803 while in Mineola it was 1453, according to 2015-16 Newsday data, the most recent Newsday has published. “Even people without children recognize that the value of their purchase is likely to remain stronger or more secure if the school district is viewed as strong,” Pally said. In Manhasset, 9 percent of students are black or Latino, according to statistics on nylongislandrealestate.com. In PHOTO COURTESY OF MANHASSET SCHOOL DISTRICT Mineola, 30 percent are. The cycle of wealthy families moving to highly ranked school districts Manhasset Secondary School houses the Manhasset School District’s that then remain the most funded is one single high school and middle school. The 2018 median home sale value Pally said he expects to continue. Home in the district was the highest in the county. values in those districts will continue to selors. Those are the diﬀerences in the increase, he said. funding, she said. “Art and music – those are one of schools that have more resources and “I don’t think there’ll be any change the first things to be taken out of the the schools that don’t.” until Long Island decides to have less Manhasset school district’s median school districts than it does golf coursschool,” Tyson said. “Many districts just have one art teacher rolling around a home sale value of $1.6 million was es,” he said. cart.

Runner honors beloved teacher Continued from Page 24 ifying treatment. Though there is currently no cure, there are resources and many care options. The foundation oﬀers services to Alzheimer’s patients and their caretakers, including a national toll-free help line staﬀed with licensed social workers trained in dementia care, a memory screening program, support groups and educational conferences on dementia. It also funds research and advocates for federal funding. The AFA has Charity Navigator’s highest rating of four stars for fiscal accountability and transparency. A full 88 cents of every dollar donated goes to these services and 100 percent of every dollar marked specifically for research goes where it is intended, Schneider said. McHugh has raised nearly $2,000 so far. “In the absence of a cure, you still need to care for people. Care is essential. And that’s why we’re trying to connect people to services and help them in their time of need,” Schneider said. “We really appreciate what Peggy is doing, both in terms of raising awareness and raising funds.” McHugh is not the only person who has turned to physical feats in the name of Alzheimer’s awareness. Schneider said people have biked, hiked and run to raise

funds for the foundation. “We’re incredibly grateful and we’re continually impressed by people who are willing to do this kind of stuﬀ for such a great cause,” Schneider said. “It is making a diﬀerence.” McHugh, who was an athlete in high school and college and runs to stay in shape, has never entered a race before. She said training for the half-marathon has come with its challenges. She had neck surgery in 2013 and also deals with hip and leg problems. But she said when she feels overwhelmed, she remembers the song, “For Good,” from the musical, “Wicked.” McHugh said the lyrics, “Because I knew you/I have been changed for good,” remind her of her bond with Sheridan and push her to keep going. Sister Elizabeth Myles, the regional superior of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Nassau County, has known Sheridan for over 20 years. She said McHugh’s dedication to Sheridan brightens the mood at the convent. “Peggy has been so faithful to Mary. And, not only that, but it spills over into the other sisters that Mary lives with,” Myles said. McHugh still writes down her intentions for Sheridan to pray for. She said although Sheridan is no longer able to

give her the advice, support and spiritual guidance she used to, the pair still have an inseparable bond and instinctual connection they share each visit. “She looks at me and her whole face just lightens up. And then I light up, and then we just hug each other. And then we just hold hands,” McHugh said. “And she doesn’t remember my name, she doesn’t remember my kids, she doesn’t remember my husband, but she knows that we belong together.” Sheridan does not know McHugh is running in her honor, but McHugh said Sister Mary, who was always a private person, would be both slightly embarrassed and incredibly grateful if she did. Myles said Sheridan was always selfless and compassionate and would be delighted to know that McHugh’s awareness and fund-raising would help others who suffer from Alzheimer’s. “Sister would die if she even knew this,” McHugh said. “She’s so private and shy. She’d be like, ‘What are you doing, Peggy?’ But I know when she does go to heaven and finds out about this … that she would be happy. Because I’m hoping that we can help people that have to take care of people who have Alzheimer’s.” The Long Island Marathon kicks oﬀ at 7:30 a.m. on Sunday in East Meadow.

Almost 98 percent of full-time students attending NYIT for the first time receive financial aid in some form, according to the university. Tuition for full-time undergraduates is $18,300 per semester. “We are committed to being one of the most aﬀordable private not-forprofit universities in New York, and to ensuring that the children of those serving our communities are able to become the makers, doers and innovators of the next generation,” said NYIT President Henry Foley.

Library debuts tech space for teens Continued from Page 1 gets beyond the two 3D printers. A spherical robot can be programmed to roll around and talk using drag-and-drop coding. A pen can squeeze out thin strings of plastic, which harden into 3D creations. “Everyone that comes in here seems to gravitate toward that,” said the library’s young adult librarian, Adriana Zappolo. Then there are the Nintendo Switch and the board games. While much of the oﬀerings are intended to spur creativity, the B.R.A.I.N. can also simply serve as a social spot where teens can commune to play games or do homework, the librarian said. The space is currently open twice a week after school for twohour periods. In future months, visitors can expect the time period to expand, Caputo said. Zappolo said she also plans to introduce workshops and new devices. “I like how it gives people a place to just kind of mess around creatively and have fun and come up with their own projects,” said Sarah Miller, 17, who is the copresident of the library’s Young Adult Advisory Council. Libraries are adapting to the 21st century, Zappolo said, and

Modern curriculums infuse the arts into science, technology, engineering and math education, turning STEM into STEAM. That means not only building a circuit, but building a circuit that allows you to play a banana as if it’s a piano, which youth can do with the “Makey Makey” kit at Bryant Library. “The makerspace goes along with the STEAM movement,” Zappolo said. “When school is over they can come here and continue

learning in that way.” The B.R.A.I.N. occupies two rooms in the taller building on the library lot. Flexible seating, dry erase tables and chests of craft supplies and tablets line homey rooms with pale blue walls. A yellow 3D printed Eiﬀel Tower is perched on the mantel above a fireplace. Bryant Library is not the only library on Long Island to create a makerspace. Levittown’s library has everything from Mac desktop computers to a button maker and sewing machine.

Caputo said he had wanted to create the B.R.A.I.N. since he became the library’s director in 2016. When Zappolo switched from the children’s librarian to the young adult librarian a year and a half ago, she threw her passion into the goal, he said. They started consulting with parents and school staff for ideas. They moved the paperback section of the library’s bookstore out of a room on the building’s main floor, used a grant that state Assemblyman Charles Lavine obtained to repaint and held a grand opening in February. Sarah and other members of the Young Adult Advisory Council helped set up the B.R.A.I.N. before the opening. It offers a contrast from the classroom, she said. It’s more experimental than curriculumbased, but can also introduce young people to something they may later be interested in taking a course on in school, Sarah said. “It’s always exciting to see the library branch out into different things, and I just was really excited for what it meant for the library and what potential opportunities could come out of it,” the Roslyn High School senior said.

Calls for action post-synagogue attack Continued from Page 3 comes to standing in solidarity at this moment.” Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, said the assault on the congregation was “an attack on the entire Jewish community” and called on oﬃcials and business leaders to “stand united against hate and address it.” “This shooting is a reminder of the reality and virulence of anti-Semitism,” Greenblatt said. “It must serve as a call to action for us as a society to deal once and for all with hate. Jewish people and those of all faiths should not have to live in fear of going to their house of worship.” Rabbi Todd Chizner of Temple

Judea in Manhasset said the idea of houses of worship no longer being safe in the wake of this attack, the mosque shooting in New Zealand and the church bombings in Sri Lanka, is one that has weighed heavily on him. “I think it really has hit me hard over this past year the idea that the place we should be truly in sanctuary, in safety and peace, is the place where people are being attacked,” Chizner said. “It really is unfortunate that this is the world that we are living in right now.” Chizner said that his synagogue has put in place new safety measures, ranging from locked doors to being in touch with law enforcement oﬃcials. He also said

that “we need to live our lives,” “do all the good that we can do,” and emphasized the importance of forging connections. “This is where my heart and soul is,” Chizner said. “I’d rather encourage people to make connections with the community and people of other faiths and feel a sense that we’re all working together.” Temple Sinai of Roslyn Rabbi Michael White said his temple leadership’s decision to “dramatically increase” its security measures at the temple was both “wise and necessary.” But it is also necessary, White said, not to allow “the purveyors of bigotry and anti-Semitism” to “retreat into our tribes and turn

against each other.” “We must not allow our fears to paralyze us or to draw us away from our Jewish faith,” White said. “Come to temple for prayer, for learning and for fellowship. We will defy hatred and demagoguery with a reaﬃrmation of our commitments to Jewish life, to each other, and to the Jewish future.” Nassau County Police Department oﬃcials said that while there are no known imminent threats in the area, police are “working closely with federal, state and local partners” and have “intensified patrols around all religious institutions in an abundance of caution.”

G.N. eatery to showcase new menu Continued from Page 28 Turcios began his career in 1999 under chef Saul Mejila at Matteo’s Family Style Restaurants, learning the art of southern Italian cuisine. In 2003, he became the executive chef at DECCO at

the Race Palace. Two years later, Turcios returned to Matteo’s, helping to start 388 Restaurant Bar & Lounge in Roslyn as its executive chef. In 2007, he accepted a position as executive chef at Italian

restaurant Andrea’s 25, where he worked until two years ago. Asked why he made the shift to the hotel restaurant business, Turcios said he wanted a new experience. “I think it was the moment for

learning something diﬀerent and I told [Navarro], I want to learn, how is the hotel business and everything,” Turcios said. “That was two years ago.”

The event is a joint venture between Sid Jacobson JCC and UJA–Federation of New York with more than 30 partner agencies including synagogues, Jewish educational institutions, JCC’s, Jewish youth organizations, media partners and vendors. Sponsors have also signed on for the event including Jewish National Fund, NAOT, Liberty Travel, and The Bristal, to name a few. “The relationship between Israel and America is

deep, fundamental and always evolving. As there are celebrations of the 4th of July in Israel, we take pride in being the largest celebration of Israel’s independence on the whole of Long Island,” says David Black, Executive Director, SJJCC. “Sid Jacobson JCC applauds all our partners for coming together to produce a fun-filled, authentic Israeli experience for all.” This year’s event will feature performances by Jewish choirs from across Long Island and live Israeli music from TLV and food options from kosher vendors Colbeh Kosher Mediterranean Grill, Ben’s Kosher Deli, and Green Olive Kosher Pizza. Ten market vendors will make up the festival’s Israeli Shuk which will sell items including glassware and Judaica pieces, jewelry, stationery and personalized objects, denim pieces and clothing, accessories, and specialty engraved wine bottles. Several family fun and educational activities related to Israel will also be oﬀered throughout the day. Admission and parking are free to all attendees.

The event is part of a 10week fundraising challenge coordinated by Theresa’s Trailblazers, a group of Long Islanders supporting Centerport resident Theresa Jacobellis’ candidacy in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society 2019 Man & Woman of the Year challenge. Eight candidates are vying for the titles of Man & Woman of the Year and the candidate who raises the most money for the organization by June 6 wins the title. Jacobellis is founder of PrescRXptive

LIU Post baseball beats Molloy Pioneers boost record in East Coast Conference to 17-2, 26-12 overall, with win BY C H R I ST I A N KLIMASZEWSKI The LIU Post baseball team continued its success with a 17-2 record in the East Coast Conference and 26-12 overall, with three wins over the Molloy Lions. “We’re having great team chemistry this year. Our pitching and hitting have been working strong together to win us games,” Mike Manzione, LIU Post’s senior infielder, said. On Thursday, April 18, it was a close game until the sixth inning when Molloy put up the first run, but the Pioneers quickly answered back with a run of their own to tie the game on a Giovanni Ciaccio RBI. After Molloy reclaimed the lead at the end of the seventh inning, making the score 2-1, LIU Post junior first baseman Zach Fritz delivered a three-run homerun giving the Pioneers a 4-2 lead. The Pioneers added to the lead with RBIs from Manzione and sophomore outfielder Jahsiah Greene. “Guys coming in clutch, hitting home runs or getting on base so the next man up can drive them in has also helped,” Manzione said. Senior pitcher James Varela earned his seventh win of the season, striking out five batters and only allowing two earned runs, and pitching eight innings. “He has a lot of power, throws hard, and has an unbe-

lievable slider,” Manzione said about the team’s pitcher. The game ended 7-2 in favor for the Pioneers. On Saturday, April 20, the Pioneers had a doubleheader home game schedule, but due to weather conditions, it was moved to Molloy’s Mitchell Field in Rockville Center,

which is turf field as opposed to the Pioneers’ grass field. “It doesn’t have an eﬀect where we play, but we do miss playing at home,” Manzione said. “A lot of teams in the conference play on turf, so when we play at home on grass, other teams struggle with ground balls and reading hops,” he said.

In game one of the doubleheader, the Pioneers took an early lead, scoring five runs in the first two innings, and they didn’t look back. RBIs came from Fritz, senior infielder Rey Guillen, junior outfielder Andy Camilo, senior catcher Anthony Vaglica, and sophomore shortstop Chris Wasson. Junior pitch-

er Noah Lorenzo pitched a complete nine inning game, earning his sixth win of the season. “Lorenzo is very crafty, which makes it so diﬃcult to hit oﬀ him,” Manzione said. “He has a great change-up which keeps hitters on their front foot and will come hard inside with his fastball.” The Pioneers won the first game with a score of 8-1. In game two, Molloy jumped ahead, 2-0, in the beginning of the third inning. The Pioneers climbed back, evening the score to 2-2 when Wasson scored on a wild pitch and Guillen knocked in an RBI. The Pioneers took the lead when Vaglica hit a towering homerun over the left field fence, making the score 3-2, which became the final result of the game. Junior pitcher Mike Stiles pitched a complete seven inning game, along with an eight-strikeout performance. The Pioneers look to continue their dominance in the ECC as they take on rival NYIT this weekend in a Battle of the Boulevard match. Game one of the series is set for 3 p.m. Friday, April 26 at LIU Post.

Thousands to run for cancer survivors On Sunday, June 2, thousands of people in hundreds of communities across the globe will hold celebrations to recognize National Cancer Survivors Day, an annual observance to honor cancer survivors, and to show the world that life after a cancer diagnosis can be fruitful, rewarding, and even inspiring. To celebrate this day, Integrated Medical Foundation, along with the New York Racing Association, is hosting the Belmont Stakes 5k Run/Walk. The event will be the prelude to the 151st running of the Belmont Stakes six days later. Runners and walkers and cancer survivors will traverse a USA Track & Field certified 5-kilometer course entirely within the grounds of Belmont Park, leading up to an exciting finish on the track at the same finish line that witnessed the Belmont Stakes triumphs of Secretariat, Seattle Slew, Aﬃrmed and American Pharaoh. There will be blood pressure screenings, prostate cancer screenings, diabetes tests and others on site. Event management will be handled

by the Greater Long Island Running Club. Sponsors of this year’s event include Advanced Urology Centers of New York, Advanced Radiation Centers of New York, Genomic Health, Abbvie, Pfizer, Tolmar, and Johnson and Johnson. “Come see how life after cancer is more than just surviving. It can be beautiful, abundant, and fulfilling. And that’s something to celebrate,” says Rhonda Samuel, executive director of Integrated Medical Foundation and local NCSD coordinator. “You will find our community’s National Cancer Survivors Day celebration filled with joy, hope, camaraderie, and compassion as we acknowledge our community’s cancer survivors. We will also recognize the contributions of their families, friends, and healthcare providers and raise awareness of the ongoing challenges faced by cancer survivors today.” Everyone who registers will receive a gift to commemorate the event. Win, place and show awards will be presented to the top male and female overall and

masters finishers, as well as the top male and female finishers groups ranging from 14 and under to 90 and over. Special awards will be given to the top three male and female cancer survivors. There will be free admission to the day’s races at Belmont Park for all pre-registered. Come early and enjoy a full day of thoroughbred racing before the event. “Once again, we are proud to partner with the Integrated Medical Foundation and expand our annual 5k run to celebrate survivors on National Cancer Survivors Day,” said NYRA spokesman and race co-director Najja Thompson. “The Belmont Stakes is known as the ‘Test of the Champion’ and with the Belmont Stakes 5k run and walk, we’re able to honor another kind of champion – the survivors and their supporters – and offer our support to everyone currently fighting cancer by raising awareness of the battle against cancer.” Major advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment have resulted in longer survival and,

therefore, a growing number of cancer survivors. However, a cancer diagnosis can leave a host of problems in its wake. Physical, financial, and emotional hardships often persist for years after diagnosis and treatment. Survivors may face many challenges, such as limited access to cancer specialists and promising new treatments, inadequate or no health insurance, financial hardships, diﬃculty finding employment, psychosocial struggles, and a lack of understanding from family and friends. In light of these diﬃculties, our community needs to focus on improving the quality of life for cancer survivors. “Despite the numerous challenges they face, cancer survivors’ serve as an inspiration to all of us,” says Samuel. “It’s time for our community to stand with them and help find ways to lessen the burdens a cancer diagnosis brings.” For more information, go to www. imfcares.org.
