Flower Hill trustees nix 18 cell nodes Reject Extenet application unanimously BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Flower Hill’s seven trustees voted unanimously to deny ExteNet’s application to install 18 small cell nodes throughout the village’s right of ways on Tuesday. The move was met with words of gratitude and applause from many members of the audience. In a post on the village’s website, the board outlined its decision to deny the application, saying it was primarily due to ExteNet’s failure to specify the exact locations of the proposed cell nodes despite village requests to clarify the matter. The application was also found to be incompatible with the village code and relevant criteria governing cell nodes that included aesthetics, mitigation eﬀorts, available alternatives, wireless service coverage and alleged gaps or improvements, according to the village website. ExteNet, a wireless infrastruc-

ture provider contracted by Verizon to install devices to support its 4G network, filed the application in the village in April. Since then, the village has hosted a series of public hearings in which many hours of public comment were heard. At the hearings, many residents raised concerns about the cell devices’ potential impact on the health of their children and themselves. However, ExteNet representatives said their tests have shown that outside of a 15-foot radius of the antenna, radiofrequency emissions fall to 1 percent of the permissible level allowed by the federal government. The board maintains that it did not consider comments on potential health eﬀects when making its decision, as stated on the village website. The village board said that ExteNet did not identify substantial gaps in cellphone coverage and Continued on Page 67

The Inn at New Hyde Park is facing scrutiny for hosting an upcoming NRA event again.

Friends of NRA plan 2nd NHP event Fundraiser sparks protests of residents, politicians BY TOM M CC A RT HY A planned fundraiser in New Hyde Park for the Nassau chapter of the Friends of the NRA has set oﬀ protests for the second year in a row. The event will be held at the Inn at New Hyde Park on Jericho Turnpike on Sept. 19. According to a flyer from the group, the event, meant to celebrate a “legacy” of shooting sports traditions, will feature dinner, raﬄes and auctions, with attendees given chances to win guns, gear, decor and collectibles. “While reasonable people across this country are looking for common-sense solutions to reduce the number of guns on our streets, the Nassau County Friends of the NRA plan on giv-

ing them away at their upcoming fundraiser in New Hyde Park,” state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said. Kaplan went on to say, “I look forward to standing in solidarity with Long Islanders who’ve had enough of the NRA and their backwards agenda, as we protest the event on September 19th at the Inn at New Hyde Park.” “I will also be taking the opportunity to announce further legislative action in the New York State Senate to address the epidemic of gun violence that is plaguing our great country, because this issue demands action, and New York is leading the way,” Kaplan said. Representatives from the Inn at New Hyde Park did not

respond to written requests for comment. U.S. Rep. Thomas Suozzi (D-Glen Cove) did not respond to a request for comment. Nassau County Legislature Presiding Oﬃcer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) was not immediately available for comment. According to the Friends of NRA flyer, among the prizes at the event will be the 2019 gun of the year set, a Sig Sauer P210 American Standard 9 mm pistol, decked out with a Friends of NRA decal. Other prizes include a Kimber Micro 9 mm with an NRA logo, a Henry single shot brass .45-70 with an NRA logo, and Mossberg 500 Pump-Action 12-gauge shotgun combo. Continued on Page 67

The New York League of Conservation Voters describes 2019 as a banner year for environmental legislation in the state, and the group’s report shows many Long Island politicians played a hand in that. State politicians representing Nassau’s North Shore were mostly given high marks from the environmental group, with state Sen. Anna Kaplan (DGreat Neck) and state Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso (D-Port Washington) receiving perfect scores. State Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Franklin Square) received a score of 67 percent, while state Assemblyman Chuck Lavine (DRoslyn) got 78 percent. Grades were based on how oﬃcials voted on 16 environmental bills including the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act; congestion pricing; a program requiring paint manufacturers to accept unused paint; performance

standards for water saving, a 1,4-dioxane ban; a ban on the use of PFA chemicals in food packaging; a ban on the use of harmful chemicals in children’s products; prohibiting the harvesting of bunker fish; increasing elected state officials’ oversight of the State Transportation Plan; e-bike and e-scooter use; prohibiting offshore drilling; extending the statute of limitations to allow water authorities to sue polluters; protections for Class C streams; subsidies for renewable energy generators that were built before 2003; a low carbon fuel standard; and a renewable energy credit program for utility customers. The credit program would allow utility customers to buy credits in renewable energy generation facilities which are then credited to their account, according to the conservation league’s report. The program effectively provides New Yorkers who cannot install renewable energy resources on their property an opportunity to parContinued on Page 67

Court docs detail Sater’s FBI work Ex-Port Washington resident, former Trump associate gathered intel on al-Qaida, N. Korea

BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Newly unsealed documents detail the breadth of Felix Sater’s decade long relationship with the FBI as an informant, a position where he provided information on the whereabouts of terrorists, insight into North Korean nuclear programs and aided in the repurchase of Stinger missiles from Afghanistan’s Northern Alliance. Sater, a former Port Washington resident and ex-associate of President Donald Trump, has frequently appeared in the media over the past year due to his involvement in attempting to broker a Trump Tower in Moscow while Trump was on the campaign trail. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach), an assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York at the time, said in a sentencing letter submitted by the government on Sater’s behalf in 2009 that his cooperation was “extensive and greatly assisted the government’s eﬀorts in fighting crimes

with the government when determining his sentence. Sater became involved with the FBI in 1998 after he had heard that he was being investigated for a “pump-and-dump” stock scheme he had been in-

volved with, according to an unsealed letter written by Sater’s attorneys. At the time, he was working in Russia as a consultant for AT&T. His attorney’s letter states that he began cooperating immediately upon the news he was being investigated and arranged to meet a “high-ranking U.S. military intelligence oﬃcer and former military attache” at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. His first mission as detailed in the letter was to help the U.S. purchase a “particular high-end anti-missile system from Russia,” for which Sater covertly entered a Russian military installation, located the missile and relayed the information back to the officer. Sater also aided CIA eﬀorts to repurchase Stinger missiles from the Northern Alliance, in which he obtained the location and serial numbers of 10 missiles, according to court documents. After voluntarily flying from Russia to the United States to surrender to authorities in Sep-

tember 1998, the letter states, Sater provided the FBI with Osama Bin Laden’s satellite phone number, and he was later told by an FBI agent that the phone number was authentic. He then allegedly established a connection with a precious stones dealer who had connections with the Taliban and the Northern Alliance. Through Sater, the connection provided the FBI with information on Bin Laden’s whereabouts, al-Qaida’s internal structuring and financial capabilities, Taliban leader Mullah Omar’s whereabouts, ground reports on who was killed by U.S. airstrikes, details of an assassination plot against former President George W. Bush and North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, Kaminsky’s letter stated. Morgan Lewis, the firm that represented Sater in the matter, said in a letter that Sater was more than “simply honest and forthcoming” over the course of his cooperation, but was proactive and “risked his life numerous times in ways not normally Continued on Page 67

Herricks preps for cyberattack

Precautions taken after ‘bogus emails’ misattributed to superintendent invade inboxes BY TOM M CC A RT HY Herricks Superintendent Fino Celano said despite receiving “bogus emails,” the school district’s computer network has not been compromised like other districts in Nassau County and the administration has taken precautions to educate staﬀ, back up data and take out new insurance policies to prepare for a cyberattack. At a meeting last Thursday, Celano said faculty members have been urged to be careful when opening emails from outside the school system. “We’re continually trying to educate our staﬀ and faculty that they should be very cautious in opening emails,” Celano said. He said that there have been “bogus emails” in the network, including some pretending to be from him. “Who would want to be me? I don’t know … The person was claiming to be me, signed my name to this email, but if you looked at it carefully, it did not come from my email address,”

Herricks Superintendent Fino Celano said “bogus emails” have been sent to faculty pretending to be him. Celano said. “So that’s what we’re asking everyone to do at the organization — to look carefully at the email addresses and if it doesn’t look familiar delete it.” Celano said that aside from emphasizing deleting outside emails without opening them, another initiative the administration is taking is to back up all data on the network in case of

a breach. Celano and the board said that the school is also copying its data onto oﬄine backup systems along with an Apple Cloud backup. Celano said the school’s technology directors will attend a meeting at Nassau BOCES where Department of Homeland Security representatives will brief them on how to avoid data

breaches. He also said the district has taken out a new state insurance policy that covers damages from cyberattacks. Nassau’s Rockville Centre schools and the Mineola school district have fallen victim recently to “malware attacks” in which their computer networks were breached, compromised

and held hostage for a ransom payment. According to the Patch news site, Rockville Centre paid $90,000 to hackers who encrypted all of the district’s files in late July. Mineola schools, however, did not pay the ransom. Superintendent Michael Nagler told an Aug. 23 meeting that no sensitive information had been breached in an Aug. 4 attack in which all faculty members were locked out of the computer network. Mineola schools are working on getting all lost data back. “Since that time on Aug. 4, we have taken everything offline, everything that we possibly could get off the network,” Nagler said. Nagler said that his school district would not be the last to suffer from a similar cyberattack. Referring to Homeland Security officials, Nagler said, “It is their belief that a majority of school districts have the virus unbeknownst to them and I believe it is going to become more common.”

Schnirman ‘overpaid’ at L. Beach: audit County comptroller paid $73,113 for 100 percent of unused sick time, exceeding 30 percent cap BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z

State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli

Nassau County Comptroller Jack Schnirman was overpaid by the City of Long Beach when he left his job there as city manager, a state audit has found, according to Newsday. The draft audit by the oﬃce of the state comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, said Schnirman was among 10 former and current Long Beach employees who received more than $500,000 in excessive separation payments. The city said it would seek to recover the money. The audit found that Schnirman, a Democrat, was overpaid $52,780, almost half of his $108,000 payout from Long Beach. Schnirman was paid $73,113 for 100 percent of his unused sick time, which exceeded the city cap of 30 percent, the audit found. He was also paid $34,910 for 419 hours of vacation time he did not use, which also exceeded city caps of either 50 days or 400 hours. Schnirman has said he relied on the city to calculate how much he was owed and would return any funds found to have been paid in er-

ror, according to Newsday. Officials from the state are working with Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas to determine whether there was any criminal conduct. City Council President Anissa Moore has been working with Singas to ensure that the city’s payouts comply with the city code. “This is a clear abuse of power. This is a clear abuse of public trust,” Moore said during an Aug. 20 City Council meeting. “We will get to the bottom of this, and we intend to seek restitution for all that’s owed to the city.” Moore expressed frustration with employees who approved the payoffs at a Tuesday news conference at Long Beach City Hall. Beside her was Don Clavin, the Hempstead receiver of taxes who is running for town supervisor. Clavin, a Republican, called for Schnirman to resign as county comptroller and for Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen to fire her chief of staff, James LaCarrubba. LaCarrubba was the public works commissioner in Long Beach for four years before retiring in

2016, when he received a $65,435 payout. He was then hired for a parttime labor relations role as well as a consultant on restoration projects from the effects of Hurricane Sandy. LaCarrubba served one more year as a full-time public works consultant on a $130,000 salary and received a $20,967 payout before being hired by Gillen as her chief of staff. Clavin asked the town’s ethics committee to investigate to ensure that there are no further instances of accruing excess amounts of paid time off. LaCarrubba said he welcomed an investigation and had done nothing wrong, according to Newsday. The audit was the conclusion to a 16-month-long investigation. The report showed that previous city managers were paid up to 100 percent of sick time dating back as far as 2008. “This didn’t start yesterday,” Moore said in reference to the city’s lengthy history of noncompliance with the city code. “This is something that has been going on for a very long time. So for 25 years, the residents here have carried the burden of mismanagement.”

Cuomo signs background check bill Legislation co-sponsored by Kaplan to require out-of-state buyers to pass mental health checks BY R O S E W E L D ON

PHOTO BY JANELLE CLAUSEN

State Sen. Anna Kaplan’s bill on background checks for out-of-state gun buyers was signed into law on Tuesday.

KKEOEPHINLG’SKIDCS HAEARLTEHSY Our 5-2-1-0 campaign is easy to remember and lets you work on one set of healthy habits at a time.

A bill co-sponsored by state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) that requires out-of-state firearm buyers to submit to mental health background checks was signed into law on Tuesday by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The bill was one of two proposed gun control measures signed by Cuomo on Tuesday, the other being a bill allowing police to get access to gun ownership records of possible suspects. Kaplan’s bill would require part-time New York residents applying for firearm permits to sign a confidential waiver to allow state authorities to contact their primary state of residence for the applicant’s mental health records. It passed 62 to 1 in the state Senate. “This bill closes a dangerous loophole in our gun license background check process, ensuring that part-time New York residents buying a gun receive the same thorough review as full-time residents,” Kaplan said in a statement. The measures come one month after fatal mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, on Aug. 3 and 4, and only four days after 25 people were injured and 8 killed in a shooting in Odessa, Texas, on Aug. 31. “Our nation is plagued by an epidemic of gun violence that demands our full attention and action, and I’m proud that New York continues to lead the way as a beacon of progress for other states,” Kaplan said.

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

Mineola nonprofit marks 135th year Family and Children Association to debut ‘largest quilt’ on Long Island at festivities BY TOM M CC A RT HY

The Mineola-based nonprofit Family and Children’s Association is prepping for its 135th anniversary Sept. 6 with an event showing off “Long Island’s largest quilt” at the Mineola Athletic Association Baseball Fields. According to FCA spokeswoman Lindsey Martin, the baseball field where the ceremony is being held is where it all began for the organization back in 1884, when it was founded as a a home for orphaned children. The organization has grown far beyond its original purpose as an orphanage in Mineola with Martin saying, “Our offices are in Mineola, but we’re a Long Island non-profit.” FCA now offers help for addiction prevention, senior assistance, family services, residential services, and mental health and wellness. Martin said the organization’s central mission is to “help Long Island’s most vulnerable.” The Sept 6. ceremony will unveil “Long Island’s largest quilt,” which was created for FCA’s “Safe and Warm, LI’s Largest Quilt Campaign.” Martin said the quilt was signed by the likes of musician Billy Idol, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and actor Ralph Macchio.

Mineola’s Family and Children’s Association started as a children’s home in 1884. The event will also include a recreation of original FCA cookbook recipes by Lessing’s Hospitality Group, a birthday cake presentation by the children of FCA’s Lynn Vanderhall Nursery Co-Op, music by Willow Interfaith Women’s Choir, and an archive display showcasing FCA’s 135-year history

The establishment of the first home in 1884 was the result of a committee created by Louise Schuyler, who also happened to be the great-granddaughter of Founding Father Alexander Hamilton, Martin said. “The committee honed in their attention to the condition of the many little

ones who were suﬀering from the want of proper care during the second half of the 1800s,” Martin said. In the early months of 1884, Martin said Hempstead resident Kate M. Riddell laid plans for procuring funds and a place with which to care for local children in need. This was the start of FCA. By Sept. 3, 1884, the community helped raise about $3,290 to find a place for orphaned children to go, Martin said. FCA’s first home formally opened on June 16, 1885, and by September of the same year, there were 12 children living there. By March 1886, Martin said, the FCA board began seeking a suitable location for a permanent home to be erected where the Mineola baseball field is today. The construction of FCA’s first Victorian home began at the site of the current-day Mineola baseball field. Martin said FCA signed over the property to the Village of Mineola in 1950 on the condition that it would continue to use the site for the establishment of a children’s park, playground, recreational center or any similar type of establishment for the benefit of children.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

GOP and Dems to voters: Take a hike

he driving distance between the Garden City Recreational Complex and the Nassau County Board of Elections is 1.8 miles and, according to Google Maps, a fiveminute drive without traﬃc. The distance between Cow Neck Road in Sands Point and the Nassau County Board of Elections is 11.1 miles – a 27-minute drive. Guess which was designated by county Republicans and Democrats as one of the 15 locations for early voting in Nassau County? Logic might dictate Sands Point or a more densely populated area in Port Washington as the answer. But this is Nassau County and in case you haven’t been paying close attention, logic doesn’t always rule here. That can explain why 10 of the 15 locations in which early voting will be available for nine days before the primaries and general elections are in the Town of Hempstead and four are in the Town of Oyster Bay. The 15th location – the Board of Elections – is technically in the Village of Mineola. But its location is south of Old Country Road, the generally accepted line between Hempstead and North Hempstead. As such it is the furthest point for North Hempstead residents to reach and inconsistent with the purpose of the state’s early voting law – making it easier for New Yorkers to vote. It is true that Hempstead is by far the largest of the three towns in Nassau County with a population of 760,000 – well more than the 519,000 in Oyster Bay and

North Hempstead combined. Hempstead also covers the biggest territory, covering 120 square miles of land compared to Oyster Bay’s 104 square miles of land and Hempstead’s 53 miles of land. So Hempstead is certainly entitled to more than half the locations to vote early and Oyster deserves at least one or two more than North Hempstead. But no locations for North Hempstead voters? Where is the fairness to voters there who would need to drive as many as 11 miles in Nassau County traﬃc to vote? This is no small matter. Elections are often a question of turnout and even if it is unlikely that President Trump will win New York state in the upcoming presidential election, the number of people who come out to vote for or against him will help determine the outcome of many other races on the ballot since people usually vote for the same party as the person they choose for president. Bonnie Garone, counsel to the Democratic commissioner on the Board of Elections, said when determining early voting sites the board looked for areas that were underserved and where turnout was not as high as it could be, were accessible by public transportation and had the facilities to host an early voting site. She said the goal of early voting is to “make voting more accessible” and generally the Town of North Hempstead’s voter turnout is good already. Let’s set aside the argument that North Hempstead’s relatively

good voter turnout should not preclude making voting easier for its residents. Their turnout could still be better, so why punish them for doing a relatively good job? We suspect the real reason is something more than making voting more accessible. The 15 early voting locations were selected by Democrat and Republican Party oﬃcials with the county Board of Elections accepted by both and, after a bit of squabbling, the two sides each chose seven of the sites. You think the leaders of the two political parties might be guided by political concerns? Which comes back to a familiar question. Just why do unelected members of two political parties representing 76 percent of the registered voters in Nassau County get 100 percent of the authority over where people can vote? Why do no leaders from the Conservative Party, the Liberal

the early voting sites came around the same time Nassau County and state Democratic Chairman Jay Jacobs and Nassau GOP Chairman Joseph Cairo cross-endorsed two candidates for State Supreme Court in November. One of the candidates who will be elected judge by virtue of this deal is David Gugerty. He was the Nassau Democratic elections commissioner and the Democratic Oyster Bay town leader. The second candidate assured election was Christopher Ostuni, counsel for majority Republicans on the Nassau County Legislature and the son-in-law of former Republican Chairman Joseph Mondello. Neither lives in North Hempstead. Election boards should be in the hands of independent professionals, not party oﬃcials and their supporters. The selection of early voting sites is another reason why.

Party, the Green Party or any other party get a say? Why not people with no party aﬃliation? They represent 24 percent of Nassau voters. Nassau County’s finances under the leadership of Republicans and Democrats have been under state supervision since 2001. So it’s not as if Republican and Democratic leaders have been doing such a great job. And the party registration of Democrats and Republicans is also no doubt overstated given their control of the election levers – beginning with the duopoly of Republicans and Democrats over election boards across the state. In Nassau, unelected party leaders of both parties share $15 million to staﬀ a bloated Election Board. That is not good government, but it does buy a lot of party loyalty. For Democrats and Republicans. It may or may not be a mere coincidence that the decision on

KREMER’S CORNER

It is time to dust off the 25th Amendment

ately, we have been inundated with media reports and interviews using the “I” word, as in impeach-

ment. After story after story announcing that members of the House of Representatives are lining up to support an impeachment inquiry of the president, it is clear that there are not enough members of the House to begin a formal inquiry. There has always been an alternative to impeachment, but there has been little current discussion about the 25th Amendment, so maybe now is the time. The 25th amendment says that a president can be removed if the vice president and a majority of the cabinet determine he or she “is unable to discharge the powers and duties” of the oﬃce. If the president contests the finding, and the vice president and cabinet persist, Congress can order the president’s removal by a two-thirds vote in

each chamber. After such action, the vice president becomes the successor. Once you read the language of the amendment your first reaction is that based on current political divisions, this scenario will never happen, but maybe it could in light of the president’s recent utterances. In the course of 24 hours, President Trump declared himself “King of Israel,” “Second Coming of God,” and the “Chosen One.” He started a fight with the Prime Minister of Denmark because she called his proposal to buy Greenland “absurd.” Over a course of one week the president backtracked on a promise to support background checks for gun buyers, suggested that he would favor a reduction in payroll taxes and then reneged, and attacked a host of people, including his Federal Reserve chair appointee. He still refers to Korean dictator Kim Jun as someone he is “in love with” and bragged about the latest letter he re-

ceived from North Korea, at the same time as they were firing two new strategic missiles into the sea. Every president has the right to advance proposals and then backtrack, but isn’t the big picture emerging that Trump is “unable to discharge his duties.” His ardent supporters will claim that there is no way that Vice President Pence and cabi-

net members would ever seek to remove the president. But think about it. Pence has been a heartbeat away from being the leader for almost three years. He has observed the daily antics of his boss and no doubt, in the privacy of his home, has expressed a few thoughts about the president’s ability to serve. I would be willing to place a dollar bet that if the president thinks he might lose the 2020 election, he will dump Mr. Pence and pick Nicki Haley as his running mate. As for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, if this president was removed from oﬃce, the chances of the Republicans keeping control of the Senate would improve dramatically. There is no doubt that most of the 52 Republican senators are exhausted from either defending the president or being chased for responses to the president’s daily barrage of tweets. The senators keep a straight face when someone shoves a

microphone in front of them but you can be certain that when they dine in the taxpayerfunded dining room they are itching to get Mr. Trump sidelined. Our readers might say all of these possibilities can’t and won’t happen. But what should the Congress do if the president does something irrational in the weeks ahead like dropping a bomb on Iran? How about deciding to let the Taliban take over Afghanistan based on their pledge to become the good guys. I can think of countless scary things that are discussed in the Oval oﬃce that will never get out onto the public stage. Few of us have ever met John Bolton, but read his history and you will understand what could happen if the president has a massive hissy fit. So for now let’s scrap the impeachment talk and focus on the 25th amendment to the Constitution. It may be our last best hope.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

The final nail in summer’s coffin

ome people insist that summer isn’t over until the first day of school. Others go by the calendar. And there are some like my green-thumbed neighbor who goes by Tomato Time: It doesn’t matter what anyone says — after Labor Day the tomatoes don’t get any tastier no matter how much longer you leave them on the vine. And, yes, I know it’s not really a vine. But no matter how you slice it, these are indisputably the closing days of summer. And this is how you know: — Driving around, you spot the first tippy-top leaves of some trees beginning to turn yellow. — The cicadas are droning every day. Thanks to the globalcondition-whose-name-mustnot-be-spoken, they sometimes even start in July now, but they are still a harbinger of things to come. — And when you take it into your head to put oﬀ your daily walk around the block till 8 p.m., it is no longer light out. I understand the pang this

gives some people. It’s like hearing “last call” at your favorite bar. But I’m not sad. I have to say I had a successful summer: I actually made it to the swimming pool one of the days of my every-other-day plan. I don’t mean I made it there every other day of the week…or even one day a week. I mean I got there one actual day…. “So let me get this straight, Mom — for you, ‘every-otherday plan’ means there’s one day each summer when you’ll do swimming and every other day nothing?” “It sounds so bad the way you say it.” At least I made it once! Perhaps the choice of what marks the end of summer depends on a more basic division: between the folks who love summer and hate to see it go, and the folks who tolerate the sunburn, the mosquito bites, the sand in places it should never be (sandwiches, people… what were you thinking?!), for the sake of associating with the first

A Look on the Lighter Side group. Count me solidly in group two. I know lots of people who live for summer every year, who revel in the freedom of bathing suits and flip-flops, and not having to care what their hair looks like because it’s always wet. I admire these free spirits and have often watched over their belongings at the beach while they ran into the ocean, but I was never able to become one.

My two brothers were definitely in the first group. I remember one family vacation in the Outer Banks of North Carolina where they spent the entire week running around our beachfront motel with fly swatters. They had hatched a competition between them over who could swat the most flies. My parents were delighted by the whole idea — the boys’ inexhaustible energy for fly swatting was finally overmatched by an even more inexhaustible supply of flies. It was a solid win/win, for everyone but the flies. I, on other hand, wrestled with an inexhaustible supply of worries. Had I really put suntan lotion in every nook and cranny? Or would I find out when it was too late the painful spots I had overlooked? Had the ocean washed it all oﬀ and should I put on some more, or would that just use it up before the day was out? And just when I’d gotten everything sorted out, and finally weighted down all four corners of the beach blanket, why must someone always

come and take away the pair of shoes I was using for one of the anchors? Perhaps I’m just a born Autumn person. I don’t go by the Memorialto-Labor Day reckoning. Nor do I go by the calendar date, which this year supposedly hits on Monday, Sept. 23, — at 3:50 a.m. Where do they get that 3:50 a.m? And if “equinox” is supposed to mean “equal night and day,” which is my own expert translation of the term, how do they have enough of either one to judge by at that hour? If you’re a die-hard, you can go by the final nail in Summer’s coﬃn: the end of Daylight Savings time on the Sunday after Halloween. You could be forgiven for having a hard time deciding which benchmark to use. Then one day you open the front door and you realize — it’s actually cooler outside the house than in and you quickly turn oﬀ the air conditioning. That is the real and true end of summer.

Community solar strengthens electric grid

ommunity – a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals; joint ownership or participation Solar – utilizing the sun’s rays, especially to produce heat or electricity Everybody likes the idea of solar energy, but only a fraction of homes are suitable for solar panel installation, so when I was recently introduced to the concepts of community solar I found the idea intriguing. Simply stated, the purpose of community solar is to provide members of a community access to the benefits of solar power even if they cannot install solar panels on their own property. Community solar projects allow the surrounding residents to directly purchase a share or subscribe to a portion of the electricity produced from the solar panels in an installation. Most projects have a restricted list of eligible zip codes to make sure the electricity produced stays local. This work is part of a larger movement to democratize our energy systems. Energy democracy means centering community ownership, decision-making, and

equity at the heart of a renewable energy economy. Energy democracy presents a response to the global energy war and joins the environmental and climate movements with broader efforts towards social and economic change. It expands access to solar for all while building a stronger, more distributed, and more resilient electric grid. Community solar projects can take several forms from community group purchasing, off-site shared solar, or on-site shared arrays, to community-driven financial models. Community group purchasing allows for reduced costs through bulk purchasing of solar panels and installation. An organizer identifies a group of purchasers and receives a sizable discount (up to 30 percent) on installation costs. LIPC’s work in community solar currently focuses on community group purchasing with houses of worship and other nonprofit organizations on Long Island (https:// powerupsolarli.wordpress.com/). Off-site shared solar refers to, as the name says, an off-site installation of solar panels whose cost of installation and generated power are shared by a community of users. These arrays usually take the

JULIANE SAARY-LITTMAN Earth Matters form of a solar “farm” or “garden.” Any ratepayer can subscribe to panels in the array and get credited on their electric bill as if the panels were on their own roof. On-site shared solar refers to the same concept as above with the diﬀerence that the installation of solar panels is on-site, for example on the roof of a multi-unit building and residents or tenants can subscribe. Oﬀ-site or on-site shared arrays can be developed and owned by either a utility, a developer, a non-profit organization, or tenants directly. Community-driven financial models involve private investors

and donors funding solar installations in low-income communities. Residents, in turn, reap the cost savings. For any of these models to make financial sense to potential customers, a state needs to have enacted some sort of virtual net energy metering legislation. Virtual net energy metering oﬀers weighted credits determined by your portion of a solar array, which helps account for the kWh of energy that your solar panels are generating. With virtual net metering, you can receive credits even if the project is oﬀ-site. Sixteen states across the country, including New York, have incentivized community solar through some form of virtual net metering legislation. Subscribers may see reduced electricity rates for as long as 25 years. On April 18, 2019, New York State Public Service Commission established a mechanism to transition to a new way to compensate distributed energy resources, like solar power. This mechanism, called the Value of Distributed Energy Resources or the Value Stack, replaces the original net energy metering. VDER compensates projects based on when and where they provide electricity to the grid. I

spoke to some closely involved with community solar projects that are currently very skeptical of VDER. They believe the new calculation will be detrimental to the economic benefits of community solar. If you would like to learn more about community solar and VDER, or speak to somebody in person, attend the upcoming event organized by Transition Town Port Washington on Community Solar which will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 7:30 p.m. in the Hagedorn Room at the Port Washington Library. Ryan Madden, Long Island Progressive Coalition’s Sustainability Organizer who manages their Community Solar Program for the LIPC, will be presenting and answering questions.

VIEW POINT

Unions needed to rebuild middle class

f Trump’s anti-immigrant crusade had anything to do with protecting American workers, he would find a way to legalize work, make sure that undocumented immigrants who are exploited by employers like the Trump Organization and poultry processors get their fair wages and work in safe conditions. Then they would not compete with American workers, if there were any American workers who would, in fact, do this body crushing work in fields and factories. With unemployment rates at historic lows (thanks, Obama!) the wonder is why wages have not significantly increased. The answer is that even after 600 federal agents swooped down on Mississippi poultry plants snatching mothers and fathers away from the line, jailing them in private prisons and deporting them without any concern for the infants and children left

behind, none of the employers were prosecuted. They rather swiftly replaced the arrested with other undocumented workers they could exploit. Today’s anti-immigrant crusades – mimicking the 1920s Palmer Raids – are more about white nationalism and white male supremacy, that virulent strain of depravity that has been as constant in American society as its original sin of slavery. In the 1920s and again in the 1950s McCarthy Era, under the guise of being anti-Socialist or anti-Communist (anti-Bolshevik), the Red Scare was really directed at women and Jews. In Woodrow Wilson’s administration, Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer arrested and held without trial more than 10,000 suspected anarchists and communists on the premise that they were not citizens and therefore not subject to constitutional protections. Many

KAREN RUBIN View Point

of the 500 who were deported were Russian Jews, including Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman, and Mollie Steimer. Ten years before the Palmer Raids, in 1909, Jewish immigrant women who worked in the unsanitary, unsafe, sweatshops in New York City organized a strike of 20,000 – 80 percent of whom were women. The leaders had escaped pogroms in

Eastern Europe but “had come from places like Poland, Russia, and Lithuania, where their families had been members of the Labor Bund, a secular Jewish socialist party with heavy union representation. So these women workers knew a thing or two about standing up to bosses, bargaining collectively, and playing on a businessman’s biggest fear: lost revenue,” writes Megan Day in Timeline. com (https://timeline.com/ these-women-came-ready-tofight-feb5b8eba4d6). These themes came together after the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire in 1911, the deadliest industrial fire in New York City, causing the deaths of 146 Jewish and Italian immigrant women and girls, aged 14 to 43, who were essentially locked inside a sweatshop. It led to the founding of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union.

Indeed, women were the original instigators of the labor movement going back to the 1848 Women’s Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, on behalf of women workers from the knitting mills and factories who wanted equal pay and being able to control their own money and property. The union movement has given all workers weekends, vacations, health benefits, child labor laws, collective bargaining, and safety regulations. But since Ronald Reagan destroyed the air traﬃc controllers union in the 1980s, Republicans have waged war on unions, which they perceive as being the political and financial backbone of the Democratic Party. The GOP has gone so far as to undermine public education with vouchers and charter schools in order to weaken the political power of teachers’ unions. Continued on Page 62

ALL THINGS POLITICAL

Solar can save Long Island’s future

he Amazon is burning and glaciers are melting, all at an unprecedented rate. Africa is also ablaze, with 70 percent of the world’s 10,000 fires that happen during a typical summer day. Even parts of Siberia and Alaska are having their first ever recorded forest fires. When you include the Trump administration’s recent aggressive efforts to eradicate rules on methane emissions and weaken auto fuel economy standards, it’s difficult to envision how individual Long Islanders can fight global warming to protect our environment. Despite this bleak prognosis, there are several things we can do to aid the fight against climate change. Here are a few simple suggestions to get you started. Install Solar Panels Flat roofs are perfect places for solar panels, and Long Island’s 125 school districts each offer acres of flat rooftops. Solar panel carports could also be installed in public school parking lots. Long Island’s public schools

get NYSED aid on capital projects and will receive reimbursement as part of the cost to install solar. For example, Long Beach Public Schools, which are leading the way in this initiative, qualify for 32.4 percent NYSED aid. Long Beach’s solar initiative will provide their school district with a positive revenue stream of close to $120,000 per year for 15 years, all while paying oﬀ the bonded cost of the solar panels through the savings from their lower electric bills. What better way is there to teach Long Island’s 400,000plus students to protect the planet than with solar panels on their schools’ roofs and carports? Long Island’s public school rooftops and parking lots are an untapped resource, totaling well over one square mile of valuable real estate available to solar energy. In addition, every landfill on Long Island could be leased out to solar companies, as a way to lower taxes and increase green energy production. The Town of Hempstead is investigating

ADAM HABER All Things Political leasing out the Oceanside landfill. There is currently a deal on the table that would pay the town $350,000 a year in rent to generate over 10 MW of solar energy. This would be enough to power close to 2,000 homes. To advocate for solar, please attend your local school board, village, town, city or county board meetings, and during public comment suggest solar power on your local government’s property. You can also email or

write your elected officials. And please consider installing solar panels on your home. I’ve done this, and the payback through savings on electric bills is just seven years. Plant Trees Long Island’s elected officials should work together to have a tree planting day, with the goal of one new tree for every one of its roughly 2.8 million residents. Arbor Day, first celebrated in 1872, is a holiday when individuals and groups are encouraged to plant trees. The next Arbor Day, Sunday, April 11, is the perfect time for local government to work collectively to begin this initiative. Every school district should also get involved and encourage students to plant a tree in or around their community. We all know trees capture the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and produce oxygen in return. What most people don’t realize is trees also lower temperatures. Asphalt, especially in populated areas, causes a phenomenon known as the “urban heat island effect.” Parts of cities covered

with asphalt, as compared to areas with trees, can have a difference in temperature as high as 15° F. Lower temperatures in wooded areas create less of a need for air conditioning, which would lower the need for polluting energy, so plant a tree. Invest in Sewers and Modern Septic Systems There are roughly 500,000 cesspools on Long Island. The nitrogen from cesspools leaches into our aquifers contaminating Long Island’s only source of drinking water. Every time there is moderate rainfall, our beaches close from massive amounts of bacteria emanating from the sewage runoff in our coastal waters. The runoff also causes a brown tide, which asphyxiates marine life, including the fish and shellfish we eat. Outdated cesspools and a dearth of sewers are polluting our groundwater, closing our beaches and destroying our food supply. To fix the sewage problem, Nassau and Suffolk Counties need Continued on Page 18

Newspapers make our lives richer

s a teenager in the 1960s, I can still remember being able to buy four newspapers for less than a dollar and getting change back. At the end of the day laying off or offering buyouts to employees, increasing the newsstand price, shrinking content, reducing actual newsprint size or receiving favorable government subsidies will not be the determining factors for the survival of Newsday, the Daily News, the Post, The Times or other daily newspapers. Newsday offer of early retirement packages to employees comes within weeks of celebrating its 79th anniversary since its first issue was published on Sept. 4, 1940." " We live in one of the few remaining free societies, with a wealth of information sources available for any citizen to access. Most American cities and suburbs are down to one local daily or weekly newspaper. Papers have to deal with increasing costs for newsprint, delivery and distribution along with reduced advertising revenues

and declining readership. They may face competitors in the surrounding suburbs, along with national editions of USA Today, the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times." In Metropolitan New York, there are also all-news radio stations such as WCBS 88, 1010 WINS, Bloomberg News and 101.9FM News along with other radio stations. ABC, CBS, NBC and PBS have national network news, as do local aﬃliates along with local independent news broadcasts such as FOX 5, MY 9 and PIX 11, cable news stations such as News One (in NYC), CNBC, CNN, FOX, BBC along with News 12, FIOS One News and CBS 10/55. Many get late breaking news from the Internet. This is stale when it reaches print the next day. The growing population of new immigrants support their own newspapers, radio and television stations. Financial challenges on maintaining the bottom line have resulted in fewer resources being devoted to investigative reporting and a greater reliance on wire service stories. As a re-

sult, original newspaper content continues to shrink. This puts more pressure on the remaining reporters assigned to various departments. There is intense competition between international, state, business, sports, entertainment and other sections of newspapers. It is becoming more diﬃcult to provide real detailed coverage of local news. Daily newspapers concentrate on international, Washington, Albany, business and sports stories. There are few reporters assigned to cover local neighborhood news stories. These reporters have to compete against colleagues for the limited available print space. This puts even more pressure on the remaining reporters to fight for every column inch in their respective newspapers."" Prior to New York City’s 1962 newspaper strike, there were actually 12 daily newspapers published in the Big Apple. The strike resulted in the closing or consolidation of several newspapers, including the Journal American, World Telegram & Sun, Mirror and Herald Tribune.

Later both the Long Island Star Journal, Long Island Press and Suﬀolk Sun ended publication."" It was an era when a majority of citizens received their news from newspapers as opposed to television news. These broadcasts would be primarily local news, sports and weather, seldom more than 30 minutes. Technology and budgets were not readily available to send reporters out for remote coverage of national or international stories. Readers could select from morning, midday and late afternoon editions, available at thousands of newsstands."" Today, residents can select from Newsday, the Times, Daily News, Post, USA Today, Wall Street Journal and Staten Island Advance along with freebies such as AM New York and Metro New York. There has also been major growth in weekly papers such as Dan’s Papers, Long Island Business and dozens of others based in neighborhoods all around the five boroughs of NYC and Long Island. Neighborhood weekly newspapers provide coverage of local community news

stories usually overlooked by other media. " Many of us have a continued thirst for news not only from Washington and Albany but also" from the Mineola county seat and Manhasset town hall along with neighborhood and local issues, which aﬀect our daily lives. Your weekly newspapers also provide opportunity and training for reporters. Some move on to work for daily newspapers. If you want to be informed of what goes on in the neighborhood, read your local weekly community newspaper. Patronize their advertises and shop local. They help your friendly newspapers survive and neighborhood prosper. In the marketplace of ideas, let us hope there continues to be room for everyone, including Newsday, the Great Neck News and other Blank Media newspaper publications. They all fill a valuable niche in the information highway. Larry Penner Great Neck

Self-delusion on school performance

om Mccarthy’s August 28th article about Nassau’s North Shore schools performing “better” than the average comes as no surprise to those who know the educational landscape. The fact is, there are no “good schools” or “better schools,” nor do the teachers in the “better performing” schools possess any special talent over their lower-performing peers. Educational performance is inextricably tied to the income of the parents. This has been an empirical fact for years, Every year the state Department of Education ranks schools by SAT score. And every year, they correlate with almost surgical precision to the income data for the school district. Here are 2016’s results, just as an example. 1: Jericho School District—1855 2: Roslyn Public Schools—1820 3: Great Neck Public Schools—1776 4: Herricks Union Free School District—1767

5: Syosset Central School District—1766 6: East Williston Union Free School District—1759 7: Cold Spring Harbor Central School District—1714 8: Port Jeﬀerson Union Free School District—1704 9: Plainview-Old Bethpage Central School District—1700 10: Port Washington Union Free School District—1700 Here are the bottom ten: 80: Deer Park Union Free School District—1396 81: Lawrence Union Free School District—1381 82: South Country Central School District—1381 83: William Floyd School District—1375 84: Malverne Union Free School District—1340 85: Copiague Public Schools—1326 86: Brentwood Union Free School District—1307 87: Freeport Public Schools—1295 88: Amityville Union Free School District—1255 89: Central Islip Union Free School District—1245 90: Uniondale Union Free School District—1230 91: Westbury Public Schools—1208

92: Hempstead Union Free School District—1200 93: Roosevelt Union Free School District—1168 94: Wyandanch Union Free School District—1102 Year after year, the outcomes never change. We’re at the point where one can actually predict the SAT score of a student from a parents’ tax return. This point cannot be stressed enough, especially in a community that has long deluded itself about the “superiority” of its local school system. They’re not “better.” They merely reflect the hard fact that economic conditions for children aﬀect their personal outcomes more than people have the courage to admit, so they simply refuse to acknowledge it. Especially the teachers themselves. Why kill the Golden Goose? Best to keep the villagers in the dark, lest questions be asked about what they’re actually paying for. Donald Davret Roslyn

Port schools have 33,000 stakeholders

ear Dr. Hynes [Port Washington school superintendent], “Stakeholder.” Dictionaries define a stakeholder as 1. a person with an interest (usually, a financial interest), or a concern in something, especially a business, or as 2. a person who affects, or who can be affected by, an organization. In your letter to our community dated July 2019, in which you outline your plans for your first 100 days with our school district, you say that you want to “begin to build relationships with stakeholders within the community” and that it is “important that I begin to immediately reach out to community stakeholders.” Who are the stakeholders that you refer to? The Port Washington Times tells us in its July 26 story, “Hynes shares (his) 100-day plan,” that you hope to soon meet with over 300 Port Washington (school district) stakeholders, including students, parents, staff and members of Port Washington organizations. If, by members of Port Wash-

ington organizations you mean those organizations associated with our school district, like the PTA, the HSAs, SEPTA, AGATE, the Parent’s Council and the Ed Foundation, then yes, all of the individuals that you’ve mentioned would meet the dictionary definition of a stakeholder. However, I must take issue with your narrow view of who a stakeholder is in our school district and I also must hasten to tell you that such a view will not help you to heal the terrible rift that has existed in our community for many years now, over our school district. Of course, there is no reason why you should be aware of that rift. You may read a real estate ad in one of our local newspapers that gives the figure, 15,847, as the population of Port Washington. That is the population, according to the most recent census, of the unincorporated area of Port Washington, or the hamlet of Port Washington. But, what is Port Washington? It’s not a town, or a city, or a village. It’s the hamlet that I

just mentioned and it’s also a school district and a postal zone. There are four incorporated villages, each entirely within the boundaries of the school district and the postal zone, and there is a portion of a fifth incorporated village, Flower Hill, that is also within the boundaries of the school district and the postal zone. When you add the populations of those four incorporated villages and the population of that portion of Flower Hill just mentioned, to the population of the hamlet, then the population living within the boundaries of the school district becomes 33,000. That’s how many stakeholders there are living within our school district, which figure excludes, of course, staff who don’t live within the district’s boundaries. I fervently hope that you will focus all of your efforts to benefit every one of those 33,000 resident stakeholders. The stakeholders that you identified in your letter; the students, their parents, staff and members of organizations associated with the school district,

may amount to 10,000 individuals, if that many. Those 10,000 individuals are on one side of the rift. That leaves 23,000 residents who are on the other side of the rift. What is the major diﬀerence between those on each side of the rift? That’s easy to answer. The 10,000 stakeholders that you’ve identified and who you are anxious to meet with, want more. They constantly want more of everything that the school district spends money on (except, they don’t want larger class sizes) and they’re not concerned about where the money comes from to buy more of everything, or who must pay the school taxes to fund our ever-increasing school budgets. Many of the 23,000 stakeholders on the other side of the rift own residences, or commercial properties, within the boundaries of the school district. The value of that real estate rises and falls, influenced by the successes, or failures, of our school district. Every one of those 23,000 stakeholders pays school taxes, either directly or indirectly, and

since school taxes have been skyrocketing in recent years, and are expected to continue to skyrocket, many of those stakeholders are finding it more and more difficult to continue to live in Port Washington. Our community has to hope that you will not just hear the calls from the 10,000, to spend more and more and more, without taking into account what the effect will be on our entire community, by all of that greatly increased spending. And, of course, we are all hoping that you will be cautious about spending more and more and more on programs and services for the children, that are really not needed, or that actually will not be effective. You’ve just begun the continuation of your career here, in Port Washington. I’m sure that all 33,000 community stakeholders mentioned above are cheering you on and that all are wishing you great success here. I know that you will not disappoint this community. Joel Katz Port Washington

Solar can save Long Island’s future Continued from Page 17 to pay now to invest in modern sewers and septic systems or pay much more later to fix the same problem on a much larger scale.

We all need to pressure our elected oﬃcials to invest in fixing this problem now before it’s too late. The Grumman plume is a prime example of how costly problem-

solving becomes when toxic cleanup is pushed into the future. In summary, Long Island residents can start advocating for change now. By showing up at

local board meetings to push for solar and modern sewage treatment facilities, and by planting trees, individual residents can impact the future for all of

us. Long Island’s children are watching, counting on us for a solution to protect the environment. I hope we can all step up now, before it’s too late.

Need live voice at Assessment: GOP BY J ES S I C A PA R K S Nassau County Republican legislators are pushing to force the county Department of Assessment to have a human answer the phone. A bill introduced last Wednesday would require the department to have a dedicated phone line operated by a live person from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on days county offices are open. The department’s listed phone number currently is answered by an automated greeting that refers callers to AsktheAssessor.com. Republican officials said the bill comes after they have heard multiple complaints from constituents. “The Department of Assessment is a major point of contact with our constituents, many of whom are deeply troubled about the county executive’s reassessment plan,” Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) said in a statement. “The administration’s outreach plan has been inadequate and there continues to be great concern by residents, who are seeking answers about their assessed value, exemptions, the effect of the phase-in and many other issues.” In early August, the county’s frequently asked questions page listed an email, TPPQuestions@ nassaucountyny.gov, as a preferred alternative to calling the department because inadequate staffing levels did not allow the department to handle a high volume of phone calls. The email did not work for a number of days, however, and instead returned a response that the email address could not be found. Nicolello said there was no excuse for the department’s failure to hire people with clerical experience to answer the phones. If the legislation is enacted, the Department of Assessment would be required within 15 days

The Nassau County GOP introduced a slate of reforms for the county assessment process in July. to develop and publish a written procedure to direct telephone calls from residents to a person who has knowledge in the subject area of the resident’s question on the department’s website. The department would also have to provide the resident with a document detailing the response provided over the phone, either in electronic or written correspondence depending on the resident’s preference. The “Answer the Phone” bill is expected to go before Legislature committees on Monday. The Republican majority of the county Legislature has introduced a series of reforms packaged into the “Assessment Bill of Rights,” two of which were approved at August’s Legislature meeting. The two approved bills require the Department of Assessment to release data and formulas used to determine fair market values of Nassau homes and mandate the county to notify taxpayers of a tentative assessment by mail in addition to email. Justine DiGiglio, spokeswoman for Democratic County Executive Laura Curran, said the recent flurry of legislation comes after the county GOP ignored the corrupt assessment system for eight years. “The residents of Nassau will not forget their inaction during the Mangano administration’s years of neglect and incompetence

as the assessment system rotted,” she said. “This latest piece of illegal legislation is another attempt at distracting from the past.” Home values in Nassau County were frozen for nearly 10 years until Curran undertook the countywide reassessment in an effort to make the county’s assessment roll more defensible in order to avoid issuing reductions to those who grieve their property taxes, she said. The “county guarantee,” a law set forth in the 1940s, requires the county to fully refund property tax overpayments, despite only receiving a small percentage of the overpaid funds, which are divided between the county and the county’s school districts and towns. The towns and school districts get to keep their portions of the overpayment, while the county has to pay back more money than it receives. A study conducted by Newsday concluded the grievance practice “intended to reduce costs of tax refunds, has shifted about $2.2 billion in taxes from generally more affluent property owners who successfully appealed their property taxes over their values over seven years to generally less affluent owners who did not.” An April analysis by the newspaper found the 2020-21 tentative assessment roll to be fair and accurate.

More police at schools: Curran, Ryder

More patrols visiting schools, new tools in cars and undercover cops near schools: commissioner BY TOM M CC A RT HY Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said at a news conference last Thursday that schools will see a higher police presence, oﬃcers will have new emergency tools and a digital panic button is now accessible in all districts. “We in Nassau County are ready. We are ready to open schools and are working very closely with our superintendents and our principals,” Curran said. “Our shared goal is to make sure that this school year, the opening of school is as safe as it could be.” Curran said that all buildings have been assessed for security and all personnel in school buildings have been trained by the Police Department on what to do when there is an active shooter. The Rave app, which serves as a smartphone-based emergency alert system that can alert the police immediately of a mass shooting or other emergency, is active in all 56 public school districts in Nassau and almost all private schools, Curran said. “The Rave app, if you don’t know, helps to reduce response time in the occasion of active shooters or another kind of emergency,” Curran said. “Since the year 2000, 75 percent of school shootings have happened within a period of five minutes.”

Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said the RAVE app is active in all Nassau public schools and almost all private schools. Curran said that the county has made sure that Nassau police oﬃcers visit schools regularly to learn the layout and develop a familiarity with the school so police do not “walk in blind” during an emergency. Ryder said that the Police Department’s response time to the recent shooting near Roosevelt High School was a sign of how successful training has been for the new

school year. Ryder reported that athletes training on the field were placed inside the high school immediately, automated robocalls were sent out around the area and police responded “within seconds” and surrounded the assailant’s home. Ryder said that opening day for school districts will see a higher police presence. “We prepare, we train, we integrate

technology like the Rave app and we are prepared, but we need to do more,” Ryder said. “What’s going to happen on opening day you will see a large amount of law enforcement personnel out there, both in our villages and cities and in Nassau County.” Ryder said some police oﬃcers patrolling school districts will be in uniform and others in plainclothes. Police cars are now mandated to visit a school at least once a day so when an incident occurs they know the superintendent, security guards and how to navigate the building, Ryder said. He said new tools have been added to police cars. All police oﬃcers have been trained and will now carry tourniquets to treat wounds and a breaching tool to break through glass and force open locked doors. The police commissioner closed his remarks by saying that about “42 percent” of people who have suspicions about a person who can be a danger to the community do not reach out to the police. “We need you to engage, we need you to get involved, we need you to speak to us,” Ryder said. “If you know somebody that is a concern for you if that person is a concern, let us do our job. We’ll do the investigation, we’ll keep you anonymous, but we’ll make sure that kids going to school are safe.”

Belmont to host its first wine tasting On Sept. 14, Belmont Park will host its first-ever wine tasting event, Belmont Uncorked, celebrating both local and international wines. The event was organized with the help of event producer Starfish Junction Productions, who had also put together the Long Island Craft Classic earlier this summer. Long Island has a long history of high-quality wine production. Representing the local producers will be some of Long Island’s most-popular wineries, including Pindar Vineyards, Pugliese Vineyardsand Duck Walk Vineyards. Representing the west coast producers will be California’s Niner Wine Estatesand Rock Wall Winery, R. Steward & Co. Winery from Oregon, and the flagship wineries from the Kendall-Jackson family of wines: Gran Moraine, Stonestreet Estate Vineyards, and Galerie Wines. Making a special appearance will be California’s organic and biodynamic vineyard, Bonterra. Most impressive is the lineup of more than 30 international wines coming from Italy, France, Brazil, South Africa and Israel.

This year’s wine tasting glass is sponsored by Wine U Design, and The Cook’s Studio, a local winery and its culinary education center, both located in Hicksville.Wine U Design staﬀ will be on-site to chat about their unforgettable hands-on wine making experi-

ences and, of course, pour their house-made wines. “We are thrilled to be a part of this inaugural event,” said Wine U Design’s Founder and Chief Winemaker Vincenzo Saulle. “We will be pouring some of our hand-made, barrelaged wines, all made right here

in Nassau County. Chefs from The Cook’s Studio will be there with us to showcase the variety of hands-on culinary classes we oﬀer, everything from paella and Chinese dumplings to mozzarella and fresh pasta.” Belmont Uncorked will be held on Saturday, Sept. 14

eing the new kid in school can be a tall order for youngsters. Children who change schools may face a host of challenges that studies suggest can affect both their social and academic development. In a 2010 study that followed students who entered kindergarten in 1998 through 2007, the Government Accountability Office found that 13 percent of students changed schools four or more times by the end of eighth grade. Such mobility can adversely affect students, as a study of 13,000 students in the city of Chicago found that children who had changed schools four or more times by the sixth grade were roughly a year behind their

classmates. In addition to the toll transferring schools can take on their academic performance, students also may experience difficulty assimilating into their new schools. Though there’s no formula to make such transitions easier, parents can try various strategies to help their kids successfully adjust to new schools. Speak with children about the transition. Pathways.org, a not-forprofit organization devoted to providing free child development information to parents and health professionals, recommends parents speak with their children about transitioning to a new

How to ease kids’ transition to a new school school. Encourage children to share what excites and worries them about the transition. The way parents discuss transitions can go a long way toward shaping how kids view the change. Stay true to your routine. Pathways also recommends parents of students who are transitioning to a new school do their best to replicate first day of school routines from years past. Some familiar traditions might help calm kids’ concerns about their first day in a new school. Assimilate into a new community before the school year begins. The education resource Edweek.org notes that the most common causes of students changing schools are residential moves related to parents’ jobs or financial instability. Parents on the lookout for a new job or those who may need to relocate for financial reasons may want to delay moving until the current school year has ended. Moving between school years gives families time to acclimate to their new communities. That means kids will get time to make new friends. Some

familiar faces on the first day at a new school can go a long way toward alleviating the fears children may have. Volunteer at your child’s new school. Parental involvement at school can have a profound impact on children. The National Education Association notes that children whose parents are involved at school are more likely to perform academically than students whose parents are uninvolved. In addition, such students are more likely to have good attendance and exhibit stronger social skills than children whose parents do not involve themselves in their children’s school. It stands to reason that students transferring to a new school may benefit from parental involvement even more than other students, as seeing their parents approach a new school with excitement and energy may inspire children to follow suit. Transitioning to a new school is not easy for many students. But parents can help smooth that transition in various ways.

J-TECH, a STEM-Based Jewish Learning Program at Temple Judea When classes resume thi month, J-Tech students at Temple Judea will engage in experiential Jewish learning through the lenses of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Educational Director, Lauren Resnikoff, explains, “Our J-TECH program is designed to build upon the innovative hands-on, technology-based learning our students already love. This year’s curriculum will focus on integrating STEM concepts with the study of Israel, Jewish holidays and Jewish values. It is exciting and engaging to use the concepts of engineering, coding and digital storytelling to teach Jewish content.” The program has been so successful it has earned many accolades from parents, including being voted “Best Religious School” in Blank Slate Media’s “Best of the North Shore 2018” contest. An integral part of the J-TECH program is the individualized Hebrew program based upon

small-group tutorials set up to ensure success for each student. Family-based Shabbat, Jewish holiday, and social action experiences complement the program, which meets one day per week. In addition, the J TECH@Home option offers families an opportunity to have their children tutored at home, while still being a part of the school program and eligible to become Bar/Bat Mitzvah at Temple Judea. For teens, Temple Judea offers ongoing learning with Rabbi Chizner, as students explore essential questions and the role of Judaism in their lives. Community service programs and a leadership program complement the sessions with Rabbi. Contact Educational Director, Lauren Resnikoff, at (516) 6218049 or school@temple-judea.com for more information. Temple Judea is located at 333 Searingtown Road, Manhasset, at exit 36 on the LIE.

Promote healthy weight starting with school lunch

lthough there are a variety of theories behind the growing obesity problem plaguing North American adults and children, the most consistent findings point to caloric intake as the culprit. Here’s a simple equation to get to the root of the problem: Calories eaten > calories spent = weight gain.

According to National Health Examination Surveys, adult obesity trends in the United States between 1976 and 2014 indicate the percentage of the adult population classified as obese has roughly doubled to more than 38 percent in the last three decades. Children may be learning eating habits from their parents, potentially contributing to rising obesity rates in children as well. Recent findings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate one in

five school-aged children and young people in the United States is obese. In Canada, the Public Health Agency says roughly one in seven children is obese. Teaching children healthy eating habits starts at home and can extend to what students are given to eat while at school. The Center for Science in the Public Interest says schools across the country are working hard to improve school nutrition. Here’s how parents and school districts can help make school lunches more nutritious and delicious and lower in calories. Control snack intake. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that more than one-fourth of kids’ daily caloric intake comes from snacking. Choosing smarter snacks may help reduce overeating. Good snacks can include grain products that contain 50 percent or more whole grains by weight; snacks in which the primary ingredient is

Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, September 6, 2019

a fruit, a vegetable, dairy product, or lean protein; snacks that are a combination food that contain at least a 1⁄4 cup of fruits or vegetables; and foods that contain no more than 200 calories. Read nutritional information. When selecting foods for school lunches, parents should read the nutritional information to make sure they know exactly what they are feeding their children. Select foods that are low in saturated fats and cholesterol and high in fiber and nutrient-rich fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. Go with water. Rethinking beverage choices can help control kids’ caloric intake. Many people don’t realize just how many calories beverages add to their daily intake. Even a six-ounce, 100-percent apple juice can include as many as 96 calories. Sodas and other soft drinks pack a hefty caloric punch. Water, seltzer and unsweetened iced tea

are healthy beverage options. If milk is the go-to beverage, choose a reduced-fat version.

Introduce new foods. Children can be notoriously picky eaters, but with patience and perseverance, parents can introduce new, healthy foods at lunchtime. Yogurt, hummus and salsa are healthy and can add flavor to vegetables and fruit. When making sandwiches, exchange refined breads for whole-grain varieties. Choose lean protein sources, and go heavy on vegetables and fruits for natural fiber, which will create feelings of satiety. Read the school menu. Let children indulge in ordering from the school menu when healthy options are featured. Urge them to try something unexpected, rather than sticking to chicken nuggets or pizza days. Healthy eating habits begin in childhood and can be initiated with school lunch.

Did you know?

The terms “college” and “university” are often used interchangeably, but there are distinctions between the terms. Specifications may differ based on where a school is located, but generally speaking colleges offer only associate’s and bachelor’s degrees while universities offer those degrees as well as graduate degrees. Colleges may be private institutions that tend to have small student bodies, while universities boast more sizable enrollments. Universities also tend to be home to vast libraries and may feature teaching schools with major research projects being conducted at given times. According to the education resource CollegeRank, in order for a college to receive university status, it must first meet a few requirements. A university has the financial resources to support its graduate and professional programs and has the facilities and equipment required to meet the needs of students in those programs. The school also must be accredited and, depending on the location, possibly licensed and incorporated within that area. Despite the differences between colleges and universities, many students find they can achieve their academic goals whether they attend a college or university.

Questions to ask when looking for an after-school program are and how conducive to doing homework the environment is.

Many of today’s working professionals grew up in single-income households where only one of their parents went to work each day. But that once-common dynamic is now largely a thing of the past, as economic necessity has driven both moms and dads to continue their careers even after they have had children. That reality has led many working parents to lean heavily on afterschool programs to serve as safe havens that provide structure for their kids while mom and dad are still at work. Choosing an after-school program is a decision many parents find difficult, but there are some questions parents can ask during their searches for programs that should make those decisions easier.

Can I tour and observe the facility? When considering a particular afterschool program for their children, parents should ask to tour the facility, paying specific attention to the areas of the facility where their youngsters will spend the bulk of their time. Do the classrooms look clean? Are the materials up-to-date? Is the playground equipment safe and well-maintained? Wellmaintained facilities with new supplies and equipment can make the program more enjoyable and safer for kids. Parents also should ask to spend some time observing the facility when it is abuzz with activity. Such observation can give parents an idea of what their kids’ afternoons will be like should they enroll in the program. Stay out of the way, but watch to see how engaged kids and staff members

Tutoring benefits and how to find a tutor that fits C hildren tend to learn at their own pace, and certain subjects may challenge them more than others. In many instances, students can benefit from working with tutors. Tutors can be very effective. Children who work with tutors and then see their grades improve may develop greater confidence and feel less anxious about going to school or taking tests. Without intervention like tutoring, at-risk students (those who are not meeting academic standards) may not pass their classes, and some may face year-end retention or experience difficulty keeping up in the next grade. The National Tutoring Association says students at all grade levels participating in tutorial programs improve their reading performance and can achieve significant cognitive gains. Tutoring can be the answer for students affected by inconsistent delivery of classroom content. For example, when families move, students may be forced to catch up in a new school where teachers may have different styles than students’ previous teachers. Students who have missed classroom time due to illness or injury may face similar difficulties. Sometimes children struggle because they have difficulty processing or remembering their lessons. In such instances, a fresh approach through one-on-one tutoring may be necessary. Parents and students have different tutoring options at their disposal. Some services may be offered through the school system at no extra charge. Pull-out instruction during the day or before or after school might be part of such services. Private tutors, academic coaches, peer tutors, online

tutoring, and home tutoring are other options. Depending on need, budget and comfort levels, families can explore these and other options at their disposal. The NTA says families should not discount peer tutoring. Peer tutoring is a cost-effective way to improve performance. This type of tutoring also can contribute to students’ social and cognitive development. According to Care.com, which helps consumers find tutors, caretakers and babysitters, one can expect to pay an average $10 to $15 for a peer high school student tutor. Comparatively, a private tutor, whether it’s a professional teacher or a tutor hired through a service, may charge as much as $75 per hour. Parents should contact their children’s schools for information about tutoring programs. Schools typically keep lists of tutors or tutoring programs. Examine credentials and seek recommendations prior to hiring a tutor to get a feel for the person and his or her teaching philosophy. Certified tutors also can be found by visiting www.ntatutor.com. Keep in mind that it isn’t enough for the tutor to know the subject matter. He or she also has to relate to your child. According to the tutoring firm Test Prep Authority, motivation plays a key role in the success or failure of a students’ work with tutors. Motivation may be compromised if the tutor and student do not connect. Tutors also should know how to present materials in ways similar to how it is being taught in school so that lessons are in sync. Tutoring has helped many children gain confidence and succeed in school.

‘On the Way to the Waterfall’ in Sea Cliff After releasing her most successful album to date, renowned musician, actress, playwright and author Meghan Cary will be starring in a one-woman play at the Creative Arts Studio of Sea Cliﬀ. Her album, Sing Louder, made its debut at No. 6 on the US/International Folk DJ radio charts. Chronicling her journey to making music, the play, “On the Way to the Waterfall” will tell Cary’s story of how she finally learned to embraced her life’s purpose. In the play, Cary, who labels herself an “accidental musician,” takes the audience on an emotional ride from studying pre-med at Duke University to working as a successful actor and voice over artist before ultimately picking up a guitar and pen, and earning a “Critic’s Choice Award” from Billboard, with no previous music experience after the devastating passing of her fiancée. “This play takes a hard look at the way we choose to respond to the inevitable complete derailments in life,” said Cary. “When our lives are shattered by an unforeseen disaster, is it tragedy? Or is the repeated reinventing of oneself what life is all about?”. “On The Way To The Waterfall” was written by Cary and includes some of her original songs that are integral to the story, although she says it isn’t really a musical. The play first made its debut in Boulder, CO at the Boulder

Town Colorado. The Sea Cliﬀ performance will be the first time the show has been remounted since the production and release of Sing Louder. The performance starts at 8 p.m. and tickets are available

Fringe Fest in 2014 and was then performed at a few pop-up shows in Cary’s hometown of Philadelphia the following year. It immediately received rave reviews from fans and critics alike and was hailed as “raw and powerful” by My

at www.meghancarywaterfall.brownpapertickets.com. The Creative Arts Studio of Sea Cliff is located at 256 Sea Cliff Avenue in Sea Cliff. For more information about Meghan Cary, visit www. meghancary.com.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Celebrating Bryant, Whitman with pageant The Friends of Cedarmere presents “Kindred Wayfarers,” an historical pageant conceived and produced by Paul Baserman. “Kindred Wayfarers” celebrates milestone birthday anniversaries this year of the great journalists, philanthropists and poets William Cullen Bryant at 225 and Walt Whitman at 200. “Kindred Wayfarers” is directed by Baserman with the creative forces of Beth Jucovy, Scott Payne and Fred Stroppel, featuring community players and local musicians with Dance Visions NY. Dance Visions NY, under the direction of Jucovy, is providing the dance element for this event. Included are dance divertissements and enhancements for the theatrical narrative, the procession, “The Unfurling of the Hudson,” and featured dance presentations. These include an embellished version of Isadora Duncan’s “Roses from the South” with live percussion, original dance works to two WC Bryant poems and Duncan’s “Water Study,’’ illustrating an excerpt from Whitman’s “Song of Myself.” The pageant will conclude with a interactive dance party performed to taped and live music of Carla Cook’s ”Dem Bones.” Dance Visions NY is delighted to be part of this multifaceted, multi-disciplinary historical celebration. The company brings Duncan’s artistic legacy into the

present through the presentation of authentic Duncan works, as passed on to Jucovy through her second generation Duncan mentors, as well as through presentation of highly original, contemporary works often inspired by Duncan’s aesthetic. Dancers and collaborators include Jucovy, as well as Louisa Cathcart, Ligia Gaissionok, Samuel Humphreys, Hope Kroog, Rebekah Mulkey, Michelle Tilghman, Francis Walker Dance Visions NY’s participation in the Cedarmere program is made possible in part with funds from the Decentralization Program, a re-grant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, administered by The Huntington Arts Council. “Kindred Wayfarers” will take place at the Cedarmere preserve, located at 225 Bryant Avenue in Roslyn Harbor. The performance will begin Saturday, Sept. 14 at 5:30 p.m. with the rain date scheduled for the following day. There will also be another performance of “Kindred Wayfarers” at Bryant Park in Manhattan on Sunday, Sept. 22 at 2 p.m. with a rain date scheduled for the following week, Sept. 28.

Taking a flight back in time on a C-47 The American Airpower Museum’s C-47 will take passengers on a 75th DDay Anniversary living history flight experience on Sept. 14. Onboard each flight, WWII re-enactors will transport you back in time to the day before Normandy. The Museum’s living history educational program is so popular that it was covered by the New York Times, Daily News, Newsday, Air Classics Magazine and ABC TV to name a few. The cost is $350 per person. There’s reduced pricing for Museum members and the person flying can bring one guest to visit the museum free of charge. Stories of our nation’s “Greatest Generation,” heroes of the Normandy D-Day Invasion, are being retold to a new generation of Americans. The American Airpower Museum takes the next step and turns these events into living history so one can hear, see, touch and experience how it was on the “Night of Nights” that launched D-Day, or the daytime “Operation Market Garden” airdrop into Holland in September 1944. To honor the C-47 troop carrier crews and soldiers of the 101st and 82nd Airborne Divisions, we have created a totally unique experience. With help from our 101st Airborne volunteer historians, you are transported back in time and issued your M-1942 jump jacket, helmet, and harness.

You take part in an Airborne mission brief and then “form up” with your guides in full WWII 101st Airborne gear. Next, you board the Museum’s WWII C-47, just like our heroes did 75 years ago, risking all to liberate occupied Europe. On the C-47, experience sights and sounds as engines fire up and you take oﬀ into history. During the flight, you’ll observe the aircrew operating their C-47 and paratroopers prepping for battle. Relive the Airborne experience to the point when you hook your parachute to a static line. Although you might like to, you won’t leave the airplane until you’re safely back on the ground!! Upon returning from this exciting flight, you learn what our heroes did 75 years ago, how they helped achieve victory for the allies, culminating in the Nazi surrender. This is a family-friendly experience for all ages. Minors must be accompanied by an adult. The program is about 1.5 hours long and the flight part takes 25 minutes. All flight operations are subject to change and rescheduling due to weather, maintenance or crew availability. Cost of the C-47 flight is $350. The museum conducts up to three flights that day. Your contribution supports our mission to honor Veterans and U.S. aviation history by preserving the aircraft and their legacy for future generations.

Opioid memorial at Roosevelt Field Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas is partnering with The National Safety Council and other regional funders to bring the council’s opioid memorial to Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City from Sept. 23 to 28. Prescribed to Death: A Memorial to the Victims of the Opioid Crisisis free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will be situated in the north court inside the mall. The exhibit puts a face on the worst drug crisis in recorded United States history, personalizing an issue that has been declared a public health emergency. Nassau County is the eighth stop on the memorial’s nationwide tour, and the third stop in New York – the only state to host it multiple times. Unveiled in Chicago in November 2017, the memorial previously visited Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Fayetteville, Ark., Houston, Buﬀalo, Albany and Washington, D.C., where it was displayed on the Ellipse in President’s Park at the White House. “The opioid epidemic has taken an incredible toll on Long Island families, and we are encouraged by a recent drop in overdoses,” Singas said. “As we work to turn the tide on the devastating scourge of opioid addiction, we are proud to partner with the National Safety Council and our generous sponsors to bring this moving and powerful campaign to Roosevelt Field Mall. I hope many of our neighbors will take time to visit, experience, and learn from this in-

credible memorial before it continues on its nationwide journey.” “The most heartbreaking aspect of the opioid crisis is the faces behind the numbers,” said Lorraine M. Martin, president and CEO of the National Safety Council. “The data can change policy, but the personal stories can change behaviors and culture. We are honored to return to New York and bring this powerful exhibit to Nassau County.” The National Safety Council launched Prescribed to Death – a multifaceted exhibit aimed at changing Americans’ attitudes toward opioids – as a part of the Council’s Stop Everyday Killers public education cam-

paign. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a wall of 22,000 engraved white pills – each representing the face of someone lost to a prescription opioid overdose in 2015 – the latest set of data available at the time of the exhibit’s launch. Since then, opioid overdose deaths have more than doubled. New York State resident Avi Israel – who founded Save the Michaels of the World after losing his son, Michael – lent his son’s personal eﬀects to the National Safety Council to display as part of the exhibit. Visitors enter a small remembrance room where Mr. Israel shares Michael’s story in a short video. Advocate Sharon Richmond, a teacher

from Northport in Suﬀolk County, lost her 25-year-old son E. Vincent D’Antoni in 2017 to a fentanyl-related overdose. Richmond will share her son’s personal story at the memorial’s unveiling on Sept. 23. The memorial is accompanied by resources that help visitors both safely dispose of unused pills in their homes and facilitate discussions with prescribers about alternatives. Visitors receive first-of-theirkind “Opioids: Warn Me” labels to aﬃx to their insurance cards, empowering them to discuss with prescribers the risks of taking opioids and whether other pain relief options are available. The council has partnered with Stericycle – a Chicago-based waste disposal company – to provide Seal&Send medication disposal envelopes to help visitors easily get rid of unused medications. Individuals who have lost someone to opioid overdose have the opportunity to add their loved one’s name to a digital memorial on site. Those who are unable to visit the exhibit can share their loved one’s story and a photo by using the Council’s interactive online map, Celebrating Lost Loved Ones. The exhibit is underwritten by contributions from RXR Realty, Northwell Health, Mets Foundation, Save the Michaels of the World, Eric and Marc Blumencranz, Stericycle and Schneider National.

Parker’s Bennett gets distinction award Samuel Bennett, the senior supervisor and dispatcher at Parker Jewish Institute’s Lakeville Ambulette Transportation, is a 2019 LeadingAge New York Employee of Distinction Award recipient. Mr. Bennett, who began working at Lakeville Ambulette in 2009, was recognized for the expertise and care he consistently delivers to those served by Parker. He is widely credited for his work ethic and loyalty, along with his reassuring nature and leadership. Mr. Bennett has been instrumental in seeing to the essential and safe transport of patients and residents, even in harrowing weather conditions, including during critical evacuations prompted by Hurricanes Sandy and Irene. In his current role at Lakeville, Mr. Bennett coordinates the organization’s professional transportation services for Parker’s patients and residents when they travel to appointments with physicians, nursing homes and related destinations.

During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Mr. Bennett served as an ambulette driver and a dispatcher, and during Hurricane

Irene in 2011, as both an ambulette and ambulance driver. With his direction and dedication, Mr. Bennett ensured that

all patients safely arrived at their destination, and returned back to their point of origin, whether it was Parker, another health care facility or their home. Over the course of Hurricane Sandy, there were hundreds of evacuations, which Mr. Bennett coordinated at Lakeville in his role as a dispatcher. And during Hurricane Irene, Mr. Bennett assisted in the evacuation of patients and residents from a skilled nursing facility in Long Beach. At the height of this storm, he served as part of a caravan of ambulettes and ambulances traveling to Hunter College, where the gymnasium was set up to provide shelter and care for evacuees. The next morning, Mr. Bennett helped transport these evacuees back to their homes. “Sam is a valued member of our Lakeville Team, who goes above and beyond, each day, to safeguard our clients,” said Michael N. Rosenblut, Parker’s president and CEO. Submitted by the Parker Jewish Institute for Health Care and Rehabilitation.

Men should not put off prostate test

eptember is Prostate Cancer Awareness month and is a time for men ages 40 and over to get tested. The test is called the Prostate-Specific-Antigen test, better known as the PSA test. Prostate Cancer is 99 per-

cent curable when caught early. It is estimated by the American Cancer Society that in 2019 there will be 174,650 men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, an increase of 6 percent over 2018. And there will be an estimate of 31,620 deaths of this

disease which is an increase of 7 percent over 2018. Now I can attest to the value of getting tested. I had a physical four years ago by my doctor who is Dr. Doris Berland who discovered my PSA was on the high side. She then sent me to

Advanced Urology in Manhasset and Dr. Gary Goldberg discovered I had an aggressive prostate cancer and required an aggressive surgery. These doctors truly had saved my life. Now four years later my PSA is low and so far

I am cancer-free and I am 70 years old. My advice to all men is get tested, for you will be glad that you did and your family will be glad you did as well. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

Responding to cowboys, guns and Texas

rowing up in the 1950s, I was a big fan of Cowboys. No! Not the pro football team from Dallas, but cowboy stars like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, The Lone Ranger and Tonto, Hopalong Cassidy, “Wild Bill” Hickok, Lash LaRue, Johnny Mack Brown, The Durango Kid and The Cisco Kid, just to name a few. Boy! They always got the bad guys. And could they shoot. They were my heroes and I could shoot

too. With my two six guns in my holster, I would challenge anyone to a draw. I loved to hear the sound of caps as they fired from my guns. Hardly anyone could outdraw me. I killed em all. I loved guns, but as I grew older, I laid them aside to do more adult things. But these days, it seems I must get back into guns. Even before the horrendous shootings in Odessa, Texas, the Texas governor and the state’s

legislators passed a bill of “gun reforms” including one that would even allow its citizens to carry guns into church. Is that a good decision? If a person enters a place of worship with the intention of shooting up the place and killing innocent people, then having a gun-toting citizen there for protection might be considered a good idea, that is, until the police show up. The police, seeing two individuals with guns, chances

are that both will be shot and most likely will be killed. We do not live in the old wild west. We are supposed to be civilized. Making it easy for people to have guns, especially assault weapons, makes it easier to kill people, loads of people at one time. Ask any police oﬃcer, whether in Texas or New York or Alabama or California, if they want assault weapons to be in the hands of the public, they would

definitely answer, no way! After all, the police are the ones who would be in the most danger of being shot and killed by such weapons. Let’s protect our police and make sure that these assault weapons be kept out of the hands of those individuals who should not have them. The life we save might be that of a police oﬃcer, or you.

Port donors stock empty shelves at pantry

n Tuesday, Aug. 6, I posted on my Facebook page the following: “Our shelves at Our Lady of Fatima food pantry are empty! Hi, Everyone. I hope that you are all having a wonderful summer!!! Unfortunately, during the summer it is diﬃcult to keep our shelves stocked. We have more demand because the kids aren’t getting free breakfast and lunch at school and we have fewer donations because people are away and busy during the summer. If anyone would like to help us restock our pantry, we are in need of the following items: pasta sauce, cereal, canned or dried beans,

canned tuna, canned salmon, canned chicken, sardines, anchovies, pancake mix, mayonnaise, canned veggies, canned fruit, oil and shelf stable milk (Parmalat). Please check expiration dates if you are bringing food from home. Food can be dropped oﬀ Monday-Thursday from 9-12 and 1-5 at 10 Cottonwood Road. Thanks in advance to the incredible Port community.” I had no idea what was about to come! I immediately began to receive messages, likes and shares on my post from people who wanted to help. It seemed as if every single person in Port was

invested in helping out those who are less fortunate in our community. The office became busier than Penn Station at rush hour with people stopping by to drop off food. Orders were sent to us from Stop & Shop, bags full of groceries were dropped off, and checks were donated. In a matter of one day our shelves were filling up and by the following Monday we no longer had room on the shelves. The generosity and love shown by the Port community has been overwhelming and a true blessing. My week was joyful as I was able to bask in the goodness of others. Our Lady of Fatima Parish Outreach is funded by the

generous donations of people from within our community all year long. Churches, synagogues, civic groups and individuals support OLF Outreach in many diﬀerent capacities. We could never serve the more than 85 families that are our clients in the Manorhaven and Manhasset Isle areas without everyone’s generous philanthropy. The outpouring of love that I experienced these past few weeks will remain with me for a long time and has reminded me that the vast majority of people in this world are good. Thank you so much Port Washington for filling our shelves and our hearts. No words can express

the gratitude on the faces of our clients when they came to get food and left with bags brimming. Tummies are now full and the community is elevated. I believe that this has been a blessing to everyone involved. As Mother Teresa said, “I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things.” Thank you Port Washington for coming together and for carrying out such a wonderful good deed. Debbie Harari Our Lady of Fatima Parish Outreach Port Washington

Lady of Fatima thanks Port neighbors

hese past few weeks Our Lady of Fatima Parish Outreach has been blessed by an outpouring of love from the Port Washington community. Within moments of a FaceBook post asking for food donations in order to restock

our empty shelves, the residents of Port responded. An abundance of food began to flow into the pantry and our shelves are now overflowing. Port Washington is a very special community whose neighbors genuinely care about one another. Having lived and

worked in Port Washington for over 30 years, I can testify that Port is comprised of a very diverse population that is united by goodness. This past week was not an anomaly. Outreach is blessed daily, and throughout the year, with generous donations from so many people.

Our clients benefit simply from living within a community of kind and generous people. Thank you so much for all of the donations and for responding so quickly. We are so fortunate at OLF Outreach to have donors who support our pantry and programs. Port

Washington exemplifies what a community can accomplish when they come together for the greater good. Sister Kathy Somerville Director, Our Lady of Fatima Parish Outreach Port Washington

Village of G.N.: of, by and for developers

ell, there’s transparency, and then there’s transparency. It’s funny (not!) how many of the colloquialisms thought of relating to transparency are applicable here. We’ll just go with “Hiding in Plain Sight”. I remember watching the Vietnam War happen. On TV, at dinner, every night. People getting blown up, shot, set on fire- all through elementary and middle schools. All America saw it, and rose up in protest, and brought enough pressure to end the war (eventually). The Army figured out that letting the TV cameras have unlimited access to a warzone was not conducive to building popular support for a war. So they began to limit access to reporters and began to present their own version of what was happening. There were daily press briefings, televised, for all to see. But it was the Army presenting their version of what was happening.

opers! Go ahead – match up the names of the Contributors with the names of the developers who are getting approvals for variances, relaxing of fines levied by the building department for building code violations, projects under development, etc. No transparency? I see things all too clearly. It’s embarrassing; you would’ve thought that the going rate in Great Neck for smoothing the way for projects worth tens of millions of dollars would be a lot more than $1,000! Sad. Look, I get it; I’m not even mad at the developers for advocating developments in order to revitalize the Village. They’re developers; it’s what developers do. In Vietnam, generals said “kill the enemy.” Diplomats said “talk to the enemy”. Psychiatrists say medicate a problem. Psychologists say talk about a problem. People get training or have a perspective, or an agenda, and they believe they are advocating the best way forward. But I’m saying that “govern-

ment of the developers, by the developers, and for the developers” is not what Lincoln had in mind at Gettysburg. What he did say is that “Government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish…” We must do what we can to help restore process in the village to Lincoln’s original intent. Not the opaque transparency we’re living with now. We don’t get to hear the plans they hatch in the backroom at Village Hall, or in Mayor Bral’s kitchen, and we’re not privy to the motivations behind the decisions being made for our future. Why so secretive? My mother always said you don’t hide pretty things, and you don’t put ugly things out for folks to see. Of course she also always thought I should be a lawyerbut I think she said that just so I could say she was wrong about something! So what ugliness are you hiding, Mayor Bral? Why not let the public know what you’re thinking of doing with our Vil-

lage going forward? How are you planning on dealing with empty storefronts, horrible traﬃc, streets unsafe to cross? Which developers are you “in discussion” with, and which will get the green lights, for which projects? How are you planning on changing our lives? The village never more divided; Resident versus resident, Jew against Jew, even! Maybe what you’re doing isn’t working. Maybe you need to change course. Stop looking through the prism of developing our way into becoming revitalized. Start reimagining our village into a more livable place. A more tolerant place. Frankly, a happier place! The vibe starts at the top; the acrimony, divisiveness, derision is all too clearly on display. In some ways you are all too transparent, Mayor Bral. But not where it counts. Sam Yellis Great Neck

Did I say that already? Indeed! Then the Army began to “embed” journalists with particular units in the field, and America watched their reports every night over dinner. Of course, the Army told those particular units where to go, and what to let those journalists see. Mayor Bral touts his Administration’s transparency; used it as a campaign issue; ran on it. And indeed, board of trustee meetings are posted online for all to see. Lately at these meetings we’ve seen Mayor Bral tell the public that he doesn’t have to answer questions or post agendas of meetings or say what his administration is thinking about doing with Village Hall, or the DPW site, and other potential projects being discussed with- what developers? Do you know? Neither do I. I can guess. Look at Mayor Bral’s campaign contributions. There were 10 contributors! Eight gave a thousand dollars each, two gave five hundred dollars each.

Global warming reaches crisis stage God gave Noah the rainbow sign No more water but the fire next time. from the Negro spiritual “Mary Don’t You Weep” I have often written about the evils of capitalism, mean-spirited Republicans, and how in cases like tobacco and opioid addiction, greed leads to death. But this month we have corroborating evidence of my charges. We have blazing fires in the Amazon rain forest in Brazil. This precious resource is sometimes called “the planet’s lung” because it produces 20 percent of the oxygen in the earth’s atmosphere. Who is responsible for this catastrophe? Brazil’s president Jair Bolonsaro has encouraged economic development in the rain forest which means the destruction of many

species of plants and animals. Bolsonaro’s far-right administration is responsible for over 72,000 fires between January and August 2019 compared to 39,759 in all of 2018. What if we were told that homo sapiens had but 12 years before we became extinct? My guess is that we would call in the best scientists from around the world and see if there were some way we could avoid this apocalyptic fate. And what if it turned out that 133 scientists drawing on more than 6,000 peerreviewed research articles concluded that global warming was a reality. These scientists issued a report under the auspices of the United Nations. The I.P.P.C. (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.) said that we should limit global average temperatures by 1.5

degrees C. each year. Problem solved? Not yet! We have powerful a fossil fuel industry which influences our lawmakers although their ranks have been diminished by one with the passing of David Koch. If more proof is necessary as to the validity of global warming, John Seager writing in the September 2019 edition of Population Connection states that there are 15,364 scientists who warn that “we have unleashed a mass extinction event.” When the scientific evidence is so overwhelming, one wonders why there are still voices which defy reason and refute science. The answers are greed, money, and political influence, in short, the profit motive. Fossil fuel CEOs and boards of directors focus on the bottom line rather than concern for our fragile planet. The next logical question is where

Trump stands on this issue? I hope you’re not thinking that he will rise to the occasion and go down in history as the man who saved the world. Politico writes: The Trump administration announced… it would change how it implements the Endangered Species Act weakening protections that environmentalists say violate the law and make it easier for oil companies, real estate interests and the agriculture industry to develop land inhabited by vulnerable wildlife. Politics not a game! Some days, It determines who will live and who will die. That’s the real bottom line. For the sake of survival, keep that in mind when debating whether your vote counts. Dr. Hal Sobel Great Neck

Unions needed to rebuild middle class Continued from Page 16 Republicans have fought against raising the minimum wage, undermined the ability of unions to get dues to cover collective bargaining that helps union and nonunion workers alike, blocked workers from forming or joining unions, and generally, like in Wisconsin, have engaged in union-busting. Indeed, the lure of Southern states has been their Right to Work laws (unions refer to these as “right to work for less” states). Republicans’ opposition to universal health care – which would break the bonds between employers and health insurance – eﬀectively keeps workers as indentured servants. Union membership has declined from 30 percent of the workforce in the 1940s

to 20 percent in the 1980s, to 10 percent today. Meanwhile, wages have essentially stagnated since the Reagan administration, while the gap between rich and poor has grown the widest since the Gilded Age. Whereas in 1965, chief executives’ salaries were 20 times the average worker, today CEOs make 278 times what their employees earn; between 1978-2018, top CEO income exploded by 1,008% (after accounting for inflation), compared to a measly 12% increase in the typical worker’s salary. It is indeed baﬄing that Trump’s support has reportedly come from white, male, blue collar workers when they have been most harmed by Trump and Republican policies. As one example, investigations into worker safety by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have

plummeted under Trump. Democrats seeking the 2020 nomination for president have come out firmly for workers, with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders perhaps the most aggressive (progressive): “Corporate America and the billionaire class have been waging a 40-year war against the trade union movement in America that has caused devastating harm to the middle class in terms of lower wages, fewer benefits and frozen pensions,” the Vermont senator said. “If we are serious about rebuilding the middle class in America, we have got to rebuild, strengthen and expand the trade union movement in America.” Sanders has issued a “Workplace Democracy Plan” that would strengthen unions by ending right to work laws, giv-

ing every union worker in America the right to strike and banning the replacement of striking workers. He would sign an executive order preventing large, profitable corporations that engage in union busting, outsource jobs overseas or pay workers less than $15 an hour from receiving federal contracts. His plan would also make it substantially easier to form a union and stop employers from ruthlessly exploiting workers by misclassifying them as independent contractors or denying them overtime by falsely categorizing them as a supervisor and require companies that merge to honor existing union contracts, protect workers’ pensions and establish federal protections against firing of workers for any reason other than just cause.

Correction: An Aug. 23 article about the filing of a discrimination complaint against Gerard Terry, the former North Hempstead Democratic chairman who is in prison for tax evasion, misstated his former role in the Village of Port Washington North. He was counsel to the village for commercial tax certioraris, not the village attorney.

Are you prepared for a hurricane? By the time you read this, for many others Hurricane Dorian will have already wreaked catastrophic havoc in the Bahamas and surrounding areas, as the most devastating storm on record for the islands (with sustained winds of up to 185 mph to 200-plus and storm surges of up to 20 feet). As of Sunday, Sept 1, as I write this column, the threat to the coastal areas in Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina was also at potential historic proportions going forward from Monday through Thursday, as the then Category 5 hurricane was moving very slowly at 5-7 mph through the Bahamas. Our hurricanes are getting more and more severe in their intensity. I am wondering how prepared are you in dealing with them? Do you have at least the basic necessities to cope with them and are you equipped to handle these types of events? Previously with Hurricanes Irene and Sandy, now many of you were prepared? Obviously, thousands upon thousands of homes were destroyed and damaged on the South Shore and other areas of Long Island. Did everyone have an adequate insurance policy covering the damage? You should

check your policy to see what coverages you do have and speak with your insurance broker and discuss whether or not you have enough coverage or an umbrella policy. Cost does factor in and that is a decision only you can determine. Lastly, it’s especially important if your home is being sold and/or in contract to make absolutely sure that your coverage is more than adequate. Do you have the necessary staples to weather the storm? Protecting your life and your home is tantamount and many times we forget about the past and just live our lives. However, I suggest that you always be ready way in advance of any pending storm and have on hand the following safety net of items that will assist you in dealing with these types of events: 1. Flashlights and an ample supply of batteries 2. First aid kit 3. All necessary medications 4. Multi-purpose tool kit 5. Life preservers for adults and children 6. Emergency blankets 7. Hand cranked radio and solar charger for cell phones 8. Most important, food and water for at least seven days, which you would purchase

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

in advance of a catastrophic storm Check your property to see if there are any large tree limbs overhanging your home and then you might want to consider removing them. Also, when there is excessive rainfall and the ground becomes overly soaked, trees sometimes topple over. I am sure some of you may have experienced the damage from a tree either hitting your home or causing other destruction. So removing limbs that are close to your home might be a consideration. Also, it is advisable to clean and wash out all your gutters and leaders of debris, leaves and dirt, so that during a storm or even regular rainfall, the water will

not accumulate behind your soﬃts and then inside your walls to cause major damage inside your home. Don’t forget to take in all outdoor furniture that could be a lethal or a damaging weapon when hurricane force winds are present. If you are in the process of selling or considering putting your home on the market at this time of the year, while we are in what they say is “Hurricane Season,” check your property insurance as well as, again, those trees that you might have issues if that “what if” were to occur. Better to be safe than sorry, right? Some homeowners have installed gas generators to eliminate the problem of not having any electric during or after a major storm. Costs of installing one can be costly. However, it does add excellent value and a benefit to your home, especially during times when electricity is absolutely necessary, such as life and death situations that require equipment to be running 24/7. Many homeowners purchase portable gasolineoperated generators to supplement their basic electric needs of keeping their refrigerator and maybe a few air conditioners operational, but they will not run the entire home.

One must be careful where the portable generators are placed since carbon monoxide can be fatal if the unit is not placed in a well-ventilated location. Never leave in your garage or anywhere that fumes will accumulate and potentially enter your home. It can be a silent killer, so be extremely careful, when considering purchasing a unit for your home. Being prepared for a hurricane in advance of the event requires some planning. Having the basics stored away and readily available will go a long way toward not having to rush out to purchase those items, as many people do to get caught in the frenzy of last minute preparations. There are canned non-perishable foods that can be stored, soups and tuna, as well as powdered and soy milk, cereals, peanut butter, ramen noodles. Then you will be ahead of the crowd.

About 20 percent of the 2.1 million students worldwide who took AP Exams performed at a sufficiently high level to also earn an AP Scholar Award. The College Board recognizes several levels of achievement based on student’s performance on AP exams. At Roslyn High School: Twenty-eight students qualified for the National AP Scholar Award by earning an average score of 4 or higher on a 5-point scale on all AP Exams taken, and scores of 4 or higher on eight or more of these exams. These students are: Joshua S. Bloom Asher J. Bykov Taylor J. Diamond Drew Goldman Andrea Griffin Aman A. Jaisinghani Johanna G. Kann Adrian Ke Ryan H. Kim Jayna Kurlender Kevin R.

NRA fundraiser returns to NHP Continued from Page 2 A single dinner ticket costs $65, with a table for 10 costing $600. The “Charlton Heston table” for 10 people costs $2,000. Eﬀorts to reach the Nassau chapter of the Friends of the NRA were unavailing. Ellie Musmeci, a spokeswoman for L.I. for Gun Safety, said in an interview that a protest will occur on the day of the fundraiser as opposed to every day during the week before the event last year. Musmeci said her organization, along with the activist group Together We Will L.I., will protest on the day of the event starting at 5 p.m. “It’s not about taking your guns,” Musmeci said, but sensible gun regulations.

The fundraiser’s return became public after state Sen. Jim Gaughran (DNorthport) tweeted an Aug. 20 letter addressed to Frank Marino, owner of the Inn of New Hyde Park, on Aug. 22. “Last year I stood with activists to ask The Inn at New Hyde Park to reconsider hosting the [National Rifle Association] annual fundraiser. We were told it was too late for them to cancel the event,” Gaughran said in a tweet. “What I can’t understand then, is why The Inn is hosting them again this year.” Gaughran’s letter said that the country is “in the midst of a gun violence epidemic” and that organizations like the NRA are ignoring “pain, suﬀering and loss” caused by gun violence. “We must stand firmly united against

the NRA’s blanket refusal to support common-sense gun safety reforms,” Gaughran wrote. While Marino did not respond to the letter, representatives of the Friends of the NRA called Gaughran’s oﬃce criticizing Gaughran over his comments, according to Gaughran’s spokeswoman, Marissa Espinoza. According to an article on the Patch news site, Laurence Dittmer, a former member of the Nassau County Friends of NRA, responded to Gaughran’s remarks in an email to Patch, saying that last year’s fundraiser was filled nearly to capacity, with nearly 600 people attending. The event drew only a few protesters outside, he said. According to an August study pub-

lished by the Pew Research Center based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention research, in 2017, the most recent year for which complete data is available, 39,773 people died from gun-related injuries in the United States. Six of 10 gun-related deaths were suicides (23,854), while 37 percent were murders (14,542), according to the CDC. The remaining were unintentional (486), involved law enforcement (553) or had undetermined circumstances (338). The study found that gun suicide and murder rates have “edged higher” after declining in the late 1990s. On a per-capita basis, according to the Pew Research Center study, there were 12 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2017 – the highest rate in more than two decades, but still well below the 16.3 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 1974, the highest rate in the CDC’s online database.

Court docs show Sater’s work with FBI Continued from Page 3 seen in the criminal justice system.” From 2004 through 2008, Sater aided the FBI in bringing down two international money laundering and cyberfraud schemes that originated in Russia, according to court documents. A document stated that for over a year he “received money transfers that had been siphoned from banking, brokerage and credit cards in the United States.” After establishing a relationship

with the fraudsters, Sater traveled to Cyprus and arranged a meeting with the suspects. “Felix’s cover came dangerously close to being blown during the operation, when the Russian unexpectedly directed Felix to get in a car with them and drive to another area,” his attorney’s letter states. Sater also provided extensive background information on various subjects that were of use to the FBI, accord-

ing to court documents. Specifically, he provided knowledge on modern stock manipulation schemes and the mafia’s involvement in the maintenance of those schemes; background used to shape the conviction of Philip Abramo, who was known in organized crime as the “King of Wall Street”; and information regarding the identities of organized crime leaders in Russia and the roles they occupied in the hierarchy of organized crime. Kaminsky said in his letter that Sater

Flower Hill nixes 18 cell nodes

Continued from Page 1 how the proposed devices would improve service. The post said that ExteNet also failed to submit a final design for the utility poles that would hold the proposed cell nodes. At a community meeting hosted by ExteNet last month, a number of poles were presented to residents and village oﬃcials. The poles “were suited for urban and suburban land use areas not characteristically similar to the Village’s single-family dwellings” which do not have overhead utility lines along the narrow roads, according to the post. The board also found the gathering to “be inconsistent with the special use

permit process for ExteNet to engage in vague alternative development proposals with more detailed site plans of what will be installed to be provided at a later date,” the village website states. According to the post, ExteNet failed to adequately address why two of the proposed antennas were mounted at a higher elevation than the other 16 cell nodes, as well as additional comments set forth in a report by the village’s consulting firm, CityScape Consultants, in respect to several other nodes. Trustees contend that ExteNet’s lack of finalized locations and designs inhibited their ability to make determinations in respect to the cell nodes’ noise lev-

els, radio frequency levels, the village’s ability to support additional equipment and whether the design met aesthetic requirements. Lake Success in Great Neck rejected nine of 13 proposed cell nodes in May and is currently engaged in a lawsuit with ExteNet. In unrelated business, Flower Hill trustees approved a new right-of-way policy that would require rocks to be placed at least two feet from the road. However, Deputy Mayor Brian Herrington said the rule will be worked out with residents on a case-by-case basis.

L.I. Dems score on conservation Continued from Page 2 ticipate in net metering, which is when energy consumers who generate some of their own energy transfer their surplus to the power grid to oﬀset their electricity costs. Kaplan and D’Urso voted in favor of every environmental bill that the voting group included in the scoring. Ra voted against congestion pricing, allowing ebikes and e-scooters, renewable energy credit program for utility customers and

banning PFA chemicals in food packaging. Lavine voted against instituting a low carbon fuel standard, protections for Class C streams, renewable energy credit program for utility customers and banning PFA chemicals in food packaging. All of Long Island’s Democratic state senators – Kaplan, Todd Kaminsky of Long Beach, Monica Martinez of Brentwood, James Gaughran of Northport, John Brooks of Seaford and Kevin Thomas of Levittown – were awarded perfect scores

from the environmental league. Only 26 of the 63 members of the state Senate received perfect scores. In the 150-member state Assembly, 40 members were given perfect scores. Kaminsky received the distinction of “Environmental Champion” from the group for his work as chair of the Senate Environmental Conservation Committee and for his leadership in passing a number of environmental initiatives, including bans on 1,4-dioxane and oﬀshore drilling.

worked continuously with a number of FBI agents. “Without exception, every one of these agents has told the government that Sater was an exemplary cooperator who worked diligently to further the aims of the missions to which he was assigned,” he said. The court documents state that Sater’s FBI cooperation ended with a 2007 article in The New York Times that detailed his FBI involvement. Judge Leo Glasser ultimately imposed a $25,000 fine on Sater in 2009 for his involvement in the stock fraud scheme, an enterprise Sater became involved in after losing his stockbroker’s license for slashing a competitor in the face with a broken margarita glass in 1991. He was 25 years old. In 2003, Sater joined Bayrock Group LLC, a luxury mortgage firm whose home oﬃce was on the 24th floor of Trump Tower in Manhattan, two floors below the oﬃce of Donald Trump, a real estate mogul at the time whom Sater had “successfully promoted and managed projects for,” court documents state. He said in an interview with The Los Angeles Times that he “was building Trump Towers by day and hunting Bin Laden by night.” After recent testimony before the House intelligence committee, which was looking into the proposed Trump Tower in Moscow, Sater is said to have “failed to cooperate.” Sater sold his Sands Point home in February to relocate to waterfront property, local real estate agent Kathy Levinson said in a previous interview. He purchased the home in 2004 and moved from another property within Port Washington.

Vietnam wall replica brings comfort On Tuesday, Aug. 27, a labor of love began as The Wall That Heals, a Vietnam Veterans Memorial Replica and Mobile Education Center, arrived at Eisenhower Park aAmerican Legion Riders, Fire Riders, Leathernecks, and Patriot Guard Riders, to name a few. It is noteworthy that all of the riders preceding the Mobile Education Center (trailer) were “boots-on-the-ground” during Vietnam. The riders that followed the trailer were Vietnam-Era vets, other veterans and patriots. Commencement of work to erect The Wall began on Wednesday, Aug. 28 during a torrential downpour. The framework was assembled followed by the addition of simulated granite slabs that spanned a total of 375 feet in length and 7.5 feet high at its tallest point. Opening Ceremony followed on that beautiful sunny Thursday morning, Aug. 29, and several wreaths were placed by various organizations: The American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 82, Vietnam War Veterans Association, Agent Orange Awareness, Nassau County Military Order of the Purple Heart, Nassau County Veterans Service Agency, and Jewish War Veterans, to name a few. The Wall was open 24/7 with security provided mainly by veterans, and non-veteran groups as well.

Friday evening, Aug. 30, a well-attended Candlelight Vigil was held at dusk as The Wall became illuminated, while the piper from Locust Valley Fire Department played “Amazing Grace.” The Wall continued to be open and available for viewing from Saturday, Aug, 31, until 2:30 pm on Sunday for the Closing Ceremony. The 53-foot trailer that carries The Wall That Heals transforms to become a mobile Education Center. The exterior of the trailer features a timeline of “The War and The

Wall” and provides additional information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Additional exhibits gave visitors an idea of the collection of items left at The Wall. The exhibit included “Hometown Heroes”, photos of service members whose home of record was from the local area. (Additional photos can be added by contacting www. vvmf.org/thewall). There was also an “In Memory Honor Roll” – photos to honor local Vietnam vet-

erans who returned home and later died of Vietnam-related illnesses. Two printed directories were available containing the names on the wall alphabetically as well as the “panel” and “row” so that the visitor can easily find their beloved fallen member’s name and do a “pencil etching” as a keepsake. There is a “The Gold Star Bike” (donated by the American Gold Star Mothers in 2012), a Softail Custom Harley that pays tribute to the mothers who lost sons to the Vietnam War. Visitors experienced The Wall rising above them as they walked towards the apex, a key feature of the design of The Wall in Washington, D.C. The Wall is comprised of 58,276 names, over 1,500 of which were service members who are Missing In Action to this day (MIA). There are eight women’s names on The Wall, all of whom were nurses. The average age of the soldiers who perished was 22 years, 9 months. The youngest service member listed was only 15 years of age. There are 40 sets of brothers on The Wall, and 3 sets of fathers and sons on The Wall. The Wall That Healsis appropriately named, as there is a lot to be said for the comfort derived by “collective compassion” for the immeasurable loss suﬀered by the families of the fallen.

Roslyn’s Marching Bulldogs process in the 2018 Homecoming parade.

Roslyn H.S. band steps into fall Continued from Page 1 York State Field Band Conference in the Carrier Bowl at Syracuse University in late October. A band trip to Disney World in February marks the start of the oﬀ-season, and auditions for new members follow. Each rehearsal begins with the drumline (marching percussion), pit (stationary percussion), color guard and winds (woodwind and brass instruments) meeting as sections to practice their parts, each group led by a student captain. “We start by separating into groups,” Mauriello said. “After an hour or so of visual warmup, we bring it together, we get on the field, and we go through the parts of the show that need the most work or refining. We just try to set the students up for success.” Mauriello was preceded in his position by Pat Patterson, who built the program from humble beginnings in 2001. “The band was very small when I got there,” Patterson said. “The first thing I did was get everyone excited about it.”

Patterson expanded the band and added more to its calendar, including trips to the Orange and Peach Bowls, time at an upstate band camp in the summer and a parents’ club called the Band Fans. “[The Band Fans] help us fundraise, they throw us a party in Syracuse at Dave and Buster’s, they help carry equipment on and oﬀ the field, they are 100 percent all hands on deck and we couldn’t do what we do without them,” Mauriello said. Under Patterson’s direction, the Marching Bulldogs won their first state championship title in 2015. Now the director of the District I athletic band at LIU Post, Patterson handed oﬀ direction duties to Mauriello in 2016; both are former directors of Mineola High School’s band. Mauriello’s first full year as director brought the Bulldogs their second state win. For this season, the Bulldogs have planned a program that “may ring as familiar to audiences,” Mauriello says. “There’s No Place Like Home,” based on the 1939 film “The Wizard of Oz,” is a five-movement

production, and the band will be using some “unique” tricks, in Mauriello’s words, to pull the story off. “We have twisters, tornadoes, yellow brick roads, a witch’s castle, trick flags that turn from gray-black tornado colors to rainbow colors to show the difference between Kansas and Oz,” Mauriello said. “We also have flags for all the different characters, so it should be familiar.” With this production, Roslyn, which won both of its titles in the Small School 3 division of its conference, is entering its second season in the Small School 2 division, which sees the band compete against different schools, including heavyweights like Oswego County’s Phoenix High School and last year’s champion, Mineola High School. Conference competition will occur throughout the season in Brentwood, Copiague, Malverne, Sachem and Mineola. Before competitions begin, the Bulldogs will premiere their new program at a friends and family event at 3 p.m. on Saturday at Roslyn High School Field.

OUR TOWN

Vessel is a stairway to happiness French philosopher Roland Barthes once mused that the Eiffel Tower was far more than a symbol of Paris. He suggested that with its base, which flows into its elegant summit, the Eiffel Tower is the penultimate symbol of human transcendence. When you get to see the Eiffel Tower, you experience something quite unforgettable and the world travels to France to gaze upon this thing of beauty. But New Yorkers have long believed that we alone are the arbiters of all things special, so it’s no surprise that we now present to the world our own vision of something beautiful and special in the form of a special public art installation cryptically called “The Vessel.” The Vessel is a 150-foot-tall, honeycomb-shaped installation, designed by Thomas Heatherwick and constructed of bronzed steel and concrete, located on 33rd Street at the Hudson Yards. The Vessel cost $150 million to construct and like the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty, it is designed to be climbed by using its 2,500 steps. A vessel is defined as either a large ship or a hollow container and armed with those two definitions in mind, I made my way into Manhattan this Labor Day weekend to see for myself what all the fuss was about. When you first look at The Vessel, you think of a giant copper tulip that opens to the sky. The Eiffel Tower has suffered criticism since its construction for being both ugly and useless and the Vessel has been criticized by The New York Times as being “a stairway to nowhere.” But like most new and wonderful things, it is at first misunderstood. The man who funded the Vessel is Stephen Ross, a real estate tycoon who nicknamed the

Vessel “the social climber,” and Thomas Heatherwick may have gained inspiration from Indian stepwells which lead to places of worship. Heatherwick suggests that New Yorkers like fitness and walking the 2,500 steps is a great way to exercise. But if we refer back to Roland Barthes, we know that truly great architecture is an attempt to provoke the imagination and the Vessel does evoke the imagination in spades. The Eiﬀel Tower oﬀers up an astounding view of Paris itself and converts the city into a thing of nature, almost like a magical forest as seen from above. However, the Vessel is a mere 16 stories high and is not tall enough to look down upon Manhattan. Its magic does not come from the views because even from the top you are still looking up at the skyscrapers all around it.

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

Ross, the developer of Hudson Yards, suggests that the climb up these 2,500 steps relates to social climbing, which has some humor and some honesty to it. Indeed any structure that requires you to walk up step by step reminds one of climbing out of hell, through purgatory and finally to heaven. Ross may be right to suggest that

social climbing is what this structure is all about. America’s central problem, most basic anguish, prime motivation and its greatest strength are that “all men are created equal,” which means that social status is up for grabs. As I entered the structure and looked up, I could see those at the top of the structure and realized that the point of this piece of architecture was not to rush to the top but to manage to enjoy the walk up. So I began. To walk up the stairs I could see that the Vessel is very user friendly. One only has to walk up about 36 steps to get to the next landing and rest a while. As you make your way up, you find yourself chatting with the others making the trek upward and there is a feeling of an adventure to it. There are 154 interconnected

The Vessel is a copper-covered complexity offering sweet sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of New York City”

staircases which means there are many landings for stopping and resting. You find yourself looking inside the structure as you climb and you begin to feel like you are in a M.C. Escher drawing with all those interlocking staircases. The stairways are maze-like and Ross remarked that the piece is all about social climbing. Maybe he’s right for what is more confusing than social climbing? Is social climbing about the accumulation of wealth or where you go to college? Is social climbing about living in the right zip code or is it about knowing how to dress? Is it the way you speak or where you vacation which will elevate your social class? If you want to get confused, just try to figure out how to rise in class. About halfway up I looked at those few who were on the top and thought those guys are not any happier up there than they were when they were down here in the middle of it all. Let me take it slow and easy and enjoy my little walk up. No rush, just enjoy the climb. The Vessel is an exercise in introspection. You gaze inside yourself as you walk up to the top. No thought of rushing or beating the guy next to you. Just a leisurely walk up to the top with some fresh air and some conversation along the way. This piece of public art, along with the Highline, which runs up to it, will become a key tourist stop and will come to represent a kinder and gentler version of New York. Congratulations to Thomas Heatherwick and Stephen Ross. The Vessel manages to be both an empty container you are invited to fill with your imaginings or a ship taking you up toward happiness. Either way it works beautifully as a public art object whose stature will grow over time.
