Bernie Madoff, Ponzi scheme king, dead at 82

FLIP FOR IT

Former Roslyn resident dies 12 years into federal prison sentence BY R O S E W E L D ON Bernard Madoff, who organized the largest Ponzi scheme in American financial history and lost roughly $18 billion for investors, has died at 82. The former Roslyn resident’s death was reported to The Associated Press by an anonymous source on Wednesday, and was later confirmed by a Bureau of Prisons representative, who said he died early that morning of natural causes. Madoff was 12 years into serving a 150-year sentence in a federal prison in Butler, North Carolina, where he has been held since he pleaded guilty to 11 counts of financial crimes in 2009, among them fraud, money laundering, perjury and theft. He was also ordered to forfeit $170,799,000,000 as part of his sentence. Prior to the discovery of the fraud, the Queens-born Madoff, who attended Hofstra University,

had been seen as a Wall Street prodigy of sorts. He founded his own firm at 22 and became chairman of Nasdaq in 1990, and also was credited with helping the trading world transition to from analog to electronic. The fraud scheme allegedly began in the early 1970s, and defrauded as many as 37,000 investors in 136 countries over four decades by the time Madoff was turned in by his two sons in late 2008, after redemption requests flooded in during the financial crisis. Those affected included the Wilpon family, then owner of the New York Mets; the pension fund of the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, later absorbed into Northwell Health; and the Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity, with Wiesel himself losing his and his wife’s life savings. The federally run Madoff Victim Fund has since distributed Continued on Page 37

where cattle would be placed to calm them during inoculations. The then-teenaged Grandin, who sought deep pressure stimulation as a child but felt overstimulated when hugged or held by another person, then created her own version in her senior year of high school with the help of her science teacher, and used it until 2010 to relieve her own anxiety. The device was later used in therapy programs for a similar purpose. Today, she is a prominent author, speaker and a professor of animal science at Colorado State University. Previously, Grandin had a successful career consulting on livestock handling equipment design and animal welfare, advocating for humane treatment of livestock for slaughter. She completed undergraduate work at Franklin Pierce College, received her master’s degree at Arizona State University and was awarded her Ph.D. in animal science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Additionally, Grandin has authored or co-authored numerous books and peer-reviewed papers on the subjects of animal science and autism. Her life was made into a 2010 HBO film, where actress Claire Danes won an Emmy Award for portraying her. Grandin has also been inducted into the Colorado Women’s Hall of Fame, the Texas Trail of Fame, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Women’s Hall of Fame and the Hall of Great Westerners of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, among other honors. The event will take place on Monday at 7 p.m. Live viewing is limited to the first 500 participants. However, the presentation will be recorded and posted on the district website after the chat.

Albertson school gets terror threat Cops arrest Williston Park suspect BY R OB E RT PELAEZ A Williston Park man made terroristic threats to the Meadow Drive Elementary School in Albertson last week, according to the Nassau County Police Department. Officials said 42-year-old Goran Preda of Williston Park “expressed his desire to conduct a violent act” against Meadow Drive Elementary on a telephone call with school officials last Thursday. The police did not specify in a news release what Preda said to the school, if anything prompted the phone call or how Preda was identified by school officials. Police said school officials immediately initiated their lockdown protocol and contacted 911.

Preda was ultimately arrested without incident after officials conducted a “thorough investigation,” police said. He was charged with making a terroristic threat and was arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead last Friday, but it was not specified if Preda had legal representation in the news release. A temporary order of protection was issued, online court records showed. Records showed that Preda’s next court date is scheduled for Friday. Efforts to reach him were unavailing. Law enforcement officials did not provide any further update on the incident. Efforts to reach officials from the school or the Mineola school district for comment were unavailing.

Students rally against anti-Asian violence Roslyn, Herricks students join Great Neck organizers following racist acts nationwide BY R OB E RT PELAEZ Around three dozen elementary and high school students from across the North Shore gathered at Grace Avenue Park in Great Neck on Sunday to condemn acts of violence and intolerance against Asian-Americans. The rally was spearheaded by Great Neck North High School sophomore Angelica Wu along with students from the Great Neck, Manhasset, Roslyn, Sewanhaka and Herricks school districts. Wu said her main goal was to spur change in the North Hempstead community in light of the number of recent discriminatory acts toward Asian-Americans throughout the nation. Despite cultural teachings of “sweeping things under the rug,” Wu said, people can no longer continue to turn a blind eye to what is happening. “When I watch the videos of our elderly being pushed to the ground, beaten, treated like nothing, I was furious and disgusted,” Wu said. “But I felt an-

G.N. drug dealer sentenced to prison Pleaded guilty to opioid overdose deaths of Brooklyn girlfriend, Queens man BY R OB E RT PELAEZ

A Great Neck man was sentenced to up to six years in prison after pleading guilty to criminally negligent homicide for providing drugs that resulted in the overdose deaths of two people. Justin Lum, 30, of Forest Row in Great Neck was charged in October 2019 with distributing cocaine, alprazolam (or Xanax), heroin and, in one case, fentanyl, to a man and woman in the spring of 2017 and 2018, respectively. In November, Lum pleaded guilty, and last Thursday he was sentenced to up to six years in prison by a Queens County judge. Lum was the first alleged drug dealer to be charged in Queens County with a homicide related to overdose deaths, and the first one to be held responsible for them. “The defendant provided drugs to these two victims despite knowing both had nearly

sible for the deaths of people who died after taking the poison he supplied to them.” According to the charges, Lum supplied heroin to his girlfriend, Patricia Collado, 28, of Brooklyn in April 2017. After allegedly snorting lines of heroin from a cellphone at the movies, Collado passed out in a parked vehicle, where first responders transported her to a nearby hospital for further treatment, Queens prosecutors said in a news release. The next day, after being discharged from the hospital, Collado and Lum allegedly snorted more heroin at his grandfather’s home in Flushing, which resulted in Collado immediately going into cardiac arrest. Lum did not call for medical assistance but attempted to “stabilize her,” according to the PHOTO COURTESY OF PIXABAY district attorney’s oﬃce.

Schumer pushes for mental health funding BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has called for the federal government to release $5 billion to aid mental health, a concern for millions of adults across the nation. On Sunday, Schumer spoke on the mental toll that Americans face daily, a problem exacerbated by the restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Schumer said on average three times more people this year than last year reported they are struggling with depression, anxiety, drug use or more. “What many New Yorkers are saying right now is that the pandemic has taken such a mental toll that some of them need more help than others to overcome new challenges and struggles related to their mental health and happiness,” Schumer said. In the $5 billion request, $3 billion would come from mental health and substance use block grants Schumer helped secure. The grants would be used to fund treatment for New Yorkers, implement community-based mental health interventions and enhance efforts to prevent mental health problems. More than $1 billion would be used to develop mobile crisis intervention services, which would work closely with law enforcement to help provide aid to people going through mental health or substance use emergencies. The remaining funds would be used for

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) pushed for $5 billion in federal funds to help combat the mental health disorders throughout the U.S. on Sunday. mental health needs of frontline health care workers who have struggled with post traumatic stress disorder and fatigue throughout the pandemic, youth mental health and educational campaigns on mental health disorders. “As a field, we are seeing surges in New York area patients with anxiety, depression and loneliness for adults and children,” Dr. Aspasia Hotzoglou, a licensed psychologist at the American Institute for Cognitive Ther-

apy, said. “Some COVID-19 survivors are experiencing psychiatric symptoms for the first time months into their recovery.” In March, the Long Island Network, which is made up of a dozen human service and behavioral health organizations, was awarded more than $5.7 million from a state grant to aid Long Islanders’ access to addiction prevention, treatment and recovery programs. The funds, according to a news release,

stem from the state’s federally backed Opioid Response Grant, which is administered by the state’s Office of Addiction Services and Supports. “At a time when overdose fatalities are again on the rise and alcohol use is skyrocketing, we are thrilled to be part of this network, laser-focused on boosting efforts Island-wide,” Family & Children’s Association President and CEO Jeffrey L. Reynolds said. “Our unified, coordinated regional approach will harness the use of technology, evidencebased practices, and people with lived experience to increase access to services and care, especially for underserved communities.” Reynolds’ organization is one of Long Island’s largest health and human organizations with 340 staff members, 200 volunteers and more than 30 programs that help the underserved and the at-risk populations. The issue of mental health is one that the federal government needs to address, Reynolds said during a Blank Slate Media town hall event in March. “One of the things we’ve come to understand is that, what we saw during [the pandemic], is a product of decades, in fact generations worth of neglect, chronic unemployment and chronic illiteracy,” Reynolds said. “When you look at the contrasting communities, Hempstead and Garden City, for example, and ask why is Hempstead that has exponentially higher numbers of deaths than Garden City, well I know why. Those disparities didn’t appear overnight and they won’t disappear overnight.”

Northwell Health was ranked 19th on Fortune magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For list.

BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Craig “Speedy” Claxton has donned a handful of jerseys throughout his basketball career. While that list includes five NBA teams, Claxton said, it is the one he sported at Hofstra that he holds in the highest regard and was one of the key factors in landing his new job. Hofstra officially made Claxton the head coach last Thursday after he spent the previous eight years as an assistant coach for Hofstra under his predecessor, Joe Mihalich, who was transitioned to an advisory role to Athletic Director Rick Cole Jr. Claxton, born in Hempstead, spent four years at Hofstra before being drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the 2000 NBA draft. An emotional Claxton reflected on his playing career ahead of his new journey as head coach for his alma mater. “My basketball journey has taken me all over the world, and it was always the goal to come back one day to lead this program,” Claxton said. After taking high school basketball by storm at Christ the King High School in Queens, Claxton remained in Hempstead

for college. Throughout his four years playing for Hofstra from 1996-99, Claxton averaged 16.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. His best season came in his senior year, with averages of 22.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game. Drafted 20th overall by the 76ers in 2000, Claxton began what would be an eight-year journey in the NBA. In 2003, Claxton was an integral piece in helping the San Antonio Spurs close out a championship game against the New Jersey Nets. Claxton poured in 13 points and four assists in the Spurs’ 88-77 win over the Nets. The 5-foot-11 guard ultimately finished his NBA career in 2008, finishing with career averages of 9.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. Claxton had his No. 10 jersey retired by Hofstra in 2010, the same year he was inducted into the university’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Despite all of the accolades Claxton racked up throughout his playing career, the Hempstead native still starts off each introduction with the position he’s most proud of. Continued on Page 42

Dems block bill for assessor referendum BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Democratic members of the Nassau County Legislature on Monday blocked a bill to hold a November voter referendum aimed at making the county assessor elected rather than appointed. The Legislature’s Republican majority needed 13 votes to override Nassau County Executive Laura Curran’s veto of the bill, but only received the votes of the 11 Republicans. All eight Democratic legislators voted against the override. Since 2008, the county assessor has been appointed by the county executive, with approval from the Legislature. If the override had passed, a referendum would have been held in November to allow for public input on the matter. If the referendum had passed, the county assessor role would have been on the primary ballot in June 2022. Presiding Officer Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) has long criticized the countywide reassessments introduced by Curran, a Democrat, as a result of the previous Republican administration’s freezing of the tax rolls for eight years. The freeze resulted in large numbers of homes and properties having uneven and unfair valuations. “After the mistakes and errors that have plagued the reassessment process and resulted in tax increases to 65% of homeowners, the right decision would have been to allow Nassau residents to decide if they wanted an assessor who can be held ac-

Michael Fricchione, a county spokesman, said: “While the County Executive is focused on distributing life-saving vaccines to protect residents and boost our economic recovery, the Republican Majority remains focused on playing politics with property assessment. The GOP is deliberately stalling on the appointment of a new County Assessor — kicking the can down the road as they’ve done for years.”

Officials announced in January that former county Assessor David Moog, who was hired by the county in June 2018, took on a new advisory role in the county’s budget office for health reasons. Curran appointed Robin Laveman, chairperson of the county’s Assessment Review Commission, to replace Moog. If the Legislature approves Curran’s appointment, it would make Laveman the first woman to hold the position in the department’s his-

tory. Laveman has served as chairperson for the review commission, which considers challenges to the values set by the Department of Assessment, since 2015. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in management from Binghamton University before attending law school at Hofstra University. While Curran touted Laveman’s experience, Nicolello and the legislative majority claim Laveman “does not have the necessary qualifications as determined by the County Executive’s criticism of past assessors.” Republican officials said Laveman’s lack of certification from the International Institute of Assessing Officers was concerning. According to the county’s charter, a county assessor has 36 months within beginning a term to become certified. Other requirements for the county assessor include a degree from an accredited four-year college and one year of “satisfactory full-time paid experience in an occupation involving the valuation of real property.” Republican officials said the people should decide who should lead the ongoing reassessment, which has resulted in property tax increases to 65 percent of county homeowners. “It is clear from the county executive’s attempt to appoint someone who lacks assessing experience and certifications that the only question is whether Nassau’s Assessor will be elected and responsive to the people or a political appointee as the county executive wants,” Nicolello said.

Blank Slate honored County-run sites to halt at newspaper contest J&J vaccine distribution BY R O S E WELDON Blank Slate Media was recently recognized with five placements at the New York Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest, with a third-place honor, three second-place honors, and one first-place honor.

es, [these topics] have a broader implication for people,” Blank said in an interview. “Issues of assessment, and fairness, is maybe the most heated debate that has taken place over the last number of years.

BY R OB E RT PELAEZ Nassau County halted Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccinations at its sites on Tuesday, according to County Executive Laura Curran. A joint statement by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and

the Food and Drug Administration said that among 6.8 million Johnson & Johnson vaccinations there have been six cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in women between the ages of 18 and 48. That led federal health officials to call for a pause in use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine around

the nation while they investigate. Officials said treatment of the specific type of blood clot differs from the treatment that is usually administered. “Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots,” according to the statement. Continued on Page 39

A New Hyde Park man was arrested on Sunday for allegedly hitting and killing a pedestrian trying to cross the street in Williston Park Saturday night, according to the Nassau County Police Department. Officials said 29-year-old David Bernardi was driving eastbound on Hillside Avenue near Broad Street in Williston Park on Saturday around 8:25 p.m. Bernardi, who resides at 46 Yorkshire Road in New Hyde Park, allegedly hit a 74-year-old woman crossing Hillside Avenue with his 2012 Nissan Rogue, according to a news release. The woman, whose name was not disclosed, suffered multiple trauma injuries, according to officials. She was pronounced dead at the scene by a Nassau County police medic. Police said Bernardi remained at the scene after the incident. Bernardi was charged with seconddegree manslaughter and driving while ability impaired by drugs, officials said. He was arraigned in First District Court in Hempstead on Sunday, according to officials. Bernardi did not respond to a request for comment. Efforts to reach officials from the Police Department for further information were unavailing.

Ryan said. “These are individuals who have become addicted to opioids and when heroin is laced with fentanyl there is an added risk since the synthetic opioid can be more than 50 times more potent than heroin.” According to the indictment, less than a year later in March 2018, Lum allegedly supplied heroin to Bayside resident Calvin Brown. After consuming drugs that were allegedly provided by Lum, the 24-year-old Brown immediately had a medical emergency. Lum called 911 and administered CPR until first responders arrived and took Brown to a nearby hospital for treatment, oﬃcials said. After being discharged almost a week

later, Brown returned to Lum’s home, allegedly receiving more heroin, according to the officials. The next day, Brown’s mother found her son slumped on a desk in his bedroom, dead. An autopsy found that the cause of death was the combined effects of heroin, Xanax, diazepam and phenobarbital. According to the news release, an investigation was started after Collado overdosed, during which an unnamed source recorded conversations between Lum and another individual. On April 9, 2018, Lum was overheard telling the person whose conversation was recorded while conducting a drug sale, “You’d be technically my third body. I woke up next to my girlfriend, like OD’d,” officials said in a 2019 news release. Lum allegedly told the individual he was safe due to the “Good Samaritan law. I can’t get in trouble.”

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Spend wisely, tax fairly

as Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, a socialist? How about Eisenhower’s predecessor, President Harry Truman, and his successor, President John F. Kennedy? Were they also socialists? You might think so after watching television ads attacking the rise in New York taxes that was later approved by the state Legislature. The state budget increases taxes from 8.82 percent to 9.65 percent for individuals making over $1 million, to 10.3 percent for income between $5 million and $25 million, and to 10.9 percent on income over $25 million. Under the new rate, New York City’s top earners could pay 13.5 percent to 14.8 percent in state and city taxes, more than the top marginal income tax rate of 13.3 percent in California, which had been the highest in the nation. The cost to Nassau’s top earners is more difficult to calculate since the county relies heavily on property taxes, based on the value of the property you own rather than how much money you make. The commercial called the New York tax rates the work of “Democratic socialists” and called on the Legislature to instead support a state budget called for by President Biden. Which was odd since Biden had nothing to actually do with the state budget other than to develop a $1.9 trillion national rescue plan that provided New York with $12.6 billion to fill a $15 budget hole for the next two years. It also raised questions about the politics of our former presidents and the negative impact of

higher taxes. The top marginal rate during the Eisenhower administration began at 92 percent and reverted to 91 percent where it had been during Truman’s administration and would continue under Kennedy. The top marginal rate would then drop to 77 percent in 1964 under President Johnson and to 70 percent through 1981. If a 10.9 percent tax rate on income over $25 million makes you a socialist, what does a top marginal rate of 92 percent make you? In fairness to our former presidents, when they were in office the United States experienced tremendous economic growth, the middle class expanded dramatically to help build places like Long Island, and wealth and income inequality was at a historic low. Now, we admit we have mixed state tax rates with federal tax rates. So to be fair we should add in Biden’s plan to finance infrastructure work by raising the top tax rate on individuals to 39.6 percent from 37 percent. But what about the impact of the $212 billion budget just approved by the state Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo? The state budget for the coming year – about 10 percent higher than last year’s – provides aid to renters, businesses, restaurants, infrastructure, undocumented immigrants and schools. All good and needed. School districts across the state are also poised to get a major infusion of cash – some $4.2 billion – over the next three years. The money will provide extra support to districts with large numbers of high-needs students and struggling schools, something long overdue.

Editorial Cartoon

Supporters of the state budget say raising taxes on people making more than a million dollars a year by a couple of points is necessary to jump-start a state economy battered by the COVID pandemic. But conservatives say that higher state taxes could lead rich New Yorkers, some of whom may already be working remotely, to move permanently to lower-tax states, such as Florida. Opponents of tax increases on the wealthy have long argued that even the slightest incremental change will send New Yorkers fleeing to income-tax-free Florida. As was observed in The New York Times: “Now we will have an opportunity to see how many people making more than $2 million a year will really move from the Upper East Side to South Beach – a location where climate models predict two feet or more of sea-level rise by 2060 – for a savings roughly equal to the cost of a 2005 Chevy Malibu.” Still, this is not a concern to be taken lightly. The top 2 percent of the highest-income New Yorkers pay about half of the state’s income taxes. Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellin are seeking an international agreement to prevent corpoREPORTERS Rose Weldon, Robert Pelaez

rations from shifting profits to other countries in a race to the bottom as part of the administration’s plan to raise the corporate tax rate to 28 percent from 21 percent. Biden is also seeking to crack down on companies that try to take their profits offshore. But New York cannot do the same thing with the 49 other states seeking to lure away their residents and businesses. A $10,000 cap on the federal deduction for state and local taxes that was included in Republicans’ 2017 tax cut legislation also falls heavily in New York. Congressman Tom Suozzi (DGlen Cove) has said he will not vote for any changes to the tax code unless the so-called SALT deduction is restored. We agree on SALT, but we hope Suozzi is just making a point. We would hate for Suozzi to vote against the tax changes called for by Biden that make the tax code fairer and raise money for muchneeded infrastructure projects this time around. It is true that New York contributes well more than it receives in federal money. But Suozzi and others should also recognize taxpayers around the country might not think it is

fair to allow New Yorkers deductions for school districts that spend $35,000 per student and local government that include villages, towns, counties and special districts. Especially when the property taxes that finance much of this government are paid at a higher rate by the less affluent than the more affluent. And Nassau County refuses to make changes to increase revenue and cut costs. Then there is the question of whether the money spent is spent well. Infrastructure improvements spur the economy, but often in New York at too high a price. For instance, the much-needed East Side Access project, which would bring the Long Island Rail Road to Grand Central Terminal on Manhattan’s East Side, was at last count on schedule to cost nearly $3.5 billion for each new mile of track, seven times the average cost in other cities across the world. We don’t want to see a repeat with the money now being raised. The state and federal governments should both make sure that whatever money is spent is spent wisely. In doing so, they might even give those so-called socialists a good name.

KREMER’S CORNER

Go big or go nowhere in rebuilding America

t’s only three plus months into President Joe Biden’s term in office and by most standards, he is moving faster than any of his friends or foes could anticipate. Millions of Americans will have received a record number of vaccinations by the time the president will have served his first 100 days in office. And to add to this achievement, Congress has passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package. But now comes the hard part. In the next four plus months, Congress will be asked to pass a major infrastructure bill, now estimated at $2 trillion. This first package will be followed by another trillion plus proposal, which raises the issue of how big do we have to go to revitalize the economy and get the country on a strong fiscal track? A look back at history provides some answers. Under President Obama, a bi-partisan Congress passed a $787 billion rescue plan, which lowered taxes and provided

some new jobs, but in retrospect didn’t have much of an impact. In 2017, a divided Congress under President Trump adopted an $875 billion tax package. Republicans claimed that their plan would not cost any money, as their theory was that the tax cuts would stimulate investment and job growth and after five years, the country would gain more than it spent. In the case of the Trump plan, it cost an estimated $5 trillion, and its benefits favored mostly the wealthy. Under that plan, we New Yorkers lost our state and local tax deductibility. When President Biden took office, there was initial uncertainty as to how far he would go with any stimulus proposal. To the surprise of many, he has chosen to go really big, believing that only by pushing for massive far-reaching programs, can we have any chance of America catching up with China and recover-

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

ing fully from the Covid-19 fallout. While both the Obama and Trump tax plans provided some funds for infrastructure, they were miniscule compared to what is needed. It is still too early to determine whether the $1.9 trillion stimulus program has succeeded, but on the face of it, many more groups have been helped than under either of the previous two plans. There is no doubt that there are many diverse groups

that need economic assistance and their voices have never been strong enough to get recognition. The new infrastructure proposal by President Biden is an attempt to deal with a broad range of problems, many of which have not been addressed since the Great Depression. At this moment, Congressional Republicans are claiming that the entire nation needs is some dollars to fix up the roads, highways and bridges. That may have been the case 50 years ago but the country’s problems go much deeper. We have numerous cities whose water systems are making their residents sick due to aging lead pipes. It is estimated that 35 percent of rural America is without access to broadband. Hurricanes have decimated major portions of the South and tornadoes have savaged the midWest. Little has been done to help those states. Our mass transit systems are old and many people have

no affordable way to get to work. Airports around the country are archaic and major airlines have no desire to serve them. The Amtrak system that serves millions of people needs a major infusion of cash. Each year another transit company makes major cuts in bus service for lack of federal funds. Under President Franklin Roosevelt, there were numerous new programs to attack the nation’s decline. Millions of new jobs were created. In 1936, the Rural Electrification Act provided electricity for the nation. Under President Eisenhower, the national highway system was built. But since those glory days, no president has attempted to attack the headaches of the times. President Biden will face many hurdles in his effort to make us a more modern country. But if his proposals become law, there is a good chance that history will reward his efforts for having gone big.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Somewhat united as America reopens “In anticipation of the imminent Grand Reopening of America and in recognition that much healing, both of bodies and souls, must be accomplished in the coming years, the Luddite and Futuro Clubs wish to announce their joint operation going forward.” Various names have been suggested by the membership of both clubs. Some are: Fluff; Fury; Ludo; Chips; Futurity; Futility; and Future Luddites of America, but the decision was to simply keep both names united by a hyphen as in “The Luddite-Futuro Club.” “Whew!” said Judy, the Luddite president. “Glad we finally got that announcement out. So much back and forth about it.” “And micro-managing about the wording,” replied the Futuro president. “Not to mention which name should go first.” “And how maybe we should call it a wedding.” We both chuckled at that since the president of the Futuro Club is already my husband.

He basically only started it so he could work on his computer in peace—away from me. “Well, so now what?” he asked me. “Now we convene a meeting of all the members of both clubs and celebrate.” “On Zoom of course,” my husband added, “so the refreshments will be less than stellar.” “Here’s the deal,” I announced to the screen full of members of both clubs. “To begin the healing we each have to voice what we most appreciate about the other club.” “That will be a challenge after all this time,” said one of the Luddites. “Maybe not,” I replied. “I suspect that I am not the only Luddite playing solitaire with actual cards who secretly wished I had an ‘Undo’ button like the one on the computer for when I’ve decided six moves later that I made a bad choice.” “And I’m probably not the only Futuro,” said somebody else, “who’s been wishing I

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side could cheat — just move one extra card! — but the software won’t let me.” “I have a confession,” I said. “I’ve said terrible things about technology, but I must acknowledge here and now that I would have lost my mind if it weren’t for computers and the Internet. My Tuesday book club, my Friday night services, even family game night — all depended entirely on Zoom and technology. There are some things you just can’t do with pen and paper or even

with telephone calls. Things like talking face to face with both kids in different cities at the same time. It was truly great that we could do that.” “And for my part,” said my husband, “I am glad for the old-school books and games they have at the Luddite Club. When the power went out, we were ALL in the dark, and it was very nice to be able to play chess and read “Huckleberry Finn” by candlelight!” “Can we talk about paper?” said one of the Luddites. “I just can’t keep up with all the boxes and bags that get delivered every single week. Even the Futuros have to admit that whatever you order by computer still comes packaged in paper and cardboard. We need an extra room just for all of it!” “At least this country actually recycles paper,” said a Futuro. “God only knows what really happens to plastic even when you abide by all the rules.” “I’m taking your complaint about paper a little personally,” I say to the Luddite. “I’ve

been collapsing the boxes and putting them out on recycling day all through the pandemic.” At least I did it weekly after learning to wear gloves while I worked. Paper cuts from cardboard can really hurt. “But you have at least 150 paper bags that Dad told us you’re hoarding in your back room.” “Who let my son into this Zoom?” I ask. “Mom, we’re club members!” “Not that I ever noticed!” “Of the Futuro Club! Dad brought us in to play computer games with him.” “Oh, well. You needn’t worry about the paper bags. They’re all neatly folded up, they’re not hurting you. Besides it’s a shame to throw them away when maybe Stop & Shop could use them again.” “I’ll call the store, Mom, and ask. But if they can’t take the bags back, you have to let me get rid of them some other way.” “All right — but only in the interest of reopening America!”

Environmental impact on how laundry done

was taught to wash my hands in warm water to get them clean i.e. to kill germs. It stands to reason then that I should wash everything in warm water to get it clean. When it comes to laundry though, that is not the case.A recent announcement from Tide regarding the recommended water temperature for washing clothes is getting some deserved media attention. Tide launched a campaign advising consumers to wash their laundry in cold water to reduce the amount of energy used. According to a Tide spokesperson and based on EPA’s greenhouse gas equivalencies calculator, washing 3 out of 4 loads in cold water will reduce greenhouse emissions by the equivalent of removing about a million cars from the road for a year or 4.8 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions per vehicle per year. For comparison’s sake, 1 metric ton of carbon dioxide is produced from charging 127,000 smartphones. And there are cost savings of approximately $150 a year in reduced energy costs from not having to heat the water as well as additional savings

in clothes purchases. Clothes last longer when washed in cold water.But what about cleanliness? Will my clothes get as clean if I wash in cold water? According to Better Homes & Gardens, washing your laundry in hot water is not necessary to get items clean and doing so causes tiny plastic particles known as microfibers to shed from your polyester and nylon clothes. These microfibers can eventually end up in our oceans and our drinking water since most wastewater treatment systems cannot filter out the microfibers before discharging the treated water. As a result, microfibers account for up to 35 percent of plastic pollution in the oceans where they are mistaken for food by ocean life. These microfibers bioaccumulate in the fish and other wildlife that consume them resulting in toxin concentration in larger animals. Microfibers are also found in freshwater sources and account for up to 85 percent of humanmade debris on shorelines around the world. Ingestion of the microfibers by wildlife is affecting their behaviors and harming

Also, use a nanoball in your washing machine to attract and capture plastic fibers or use a filter in your washing machine. Also, knitted fabrics as opposed to fleece and clothes made of natural fibers instead of synthetic fibers do not create microfiber pollution.(You may still want to wash items used by anyone in the household who was sick in hot water, but other than that, there is no need to wash items in hot water.)It is also recommended to

use a liquid detergent when using cold water as powders may not dissolve well in cold water. When choosing liquid detergents though it is important to understand that most use water as an ingredient, therefore, increasing the amount of water used to do a load of laundry. So, try to buy liquid detergents that are triple concentrated as they use less water in their ingredients. Also, detergents have surfactants in them to help remove the dirt. Surfactants are toxic to aquatic life in high concentrations. Try to find detergents that biodegrade faster and create less potential for water pollution. These are detergents made from plant-based rather than petroleum-based ingredients. Or, look for a powder detergent designed for cold water because powder detergents generally use less surfactants than liquid detergents.

Finally, for those who really want to reduce their energy consumption, air dry your clothes

on a clothing rack or a clothesline instead of using the dryer.The climate change crisis is just that and without the support of companies like Procter and Gamble which owns Tide, our chances of eliminating the cause of climate change (greenhouse gas emissions) are significantly reduced. Those of us who have been urging a response to climate change for many years are grateful to see corporations taking the issue seriously and publicly advocating for measures to address the cause and consequences of climate change. It is even more encouraging to see companies like P&G practice what they are preaching and commit to reducing their own greenhouse gas emissions by half by 2030 and to converting to 100 eprcent recyclable packaging for all its products by 2030. The time is now for all of us to take this threat seriously and take simple steps like washing our laundry in cold water to do our part.I’ll tell you a secret; I’ve been washing clothes in cold water for decades. No one has complained yet and I still have clothes from high school!

THE BACK ROAD

The longest and most perilous wait of all

n addition to everything else we have gone through this past year, we have had to wait like never before. What have we had to wait for? A year ago, it was paper goods and hand sanitizer. Now it’s appointments to get vaccinated. As I recall, in April 2020 there were lots of empty shelves in the grocery store, especially in the aisles featuring toilet paper and water bottles. There was also a fair amount of hoarding going on. That is, until store management limited how many rolls of toilet paper and cases of water you could pile into your cart, which became something of an art form. Years ago, when I was in my early 20s, I worked in a Grand Union warehouse in Carlstadt, NJ. My job was to unload freight cars loaded with boxes of product. After unloading the boxes, I stacked them tightly onto palettes in configurations that would allow the forklift driver to transport the product to their designated areas in the ware-

house without the contents tipping over, which was especially messy when it involved liquid like dish detergent or evaporated milk. What I observed one year ago was that a few pandemic shoppers developed a Rubik’s Cube-like skill in packing obscene amounts of toilet paper and cases of water into their shopping carts. This was especially so in some of the bulk retail stores like Costco, BJ’s or Sam’s Club. It was a sight to behold – a survivalist’s delight, no doubt. As for hand sanitizer, I could never find the name brand that we are all most familiar with – Purell. Only knock-offs in similarly shaped and colored packaging. But it was never the same. I bought one that contained a liquid of much thinner consistency that rocketed out of the dispenser onto my shirt and pants. Others were sticky to the touch. And, still others emitted fumes so strong that I was left feeling woozy.

ANDREW MALEKOFF The Back Road

Those were the early days of waiting. Of course, not everything that we had to wait for was a disposable item that we can now look back on and have a good laugh about. Parents and kids waited for schools to re-open. Employers and employees who could not work virtually waited for businesses to reopen. I have two sons. One is a tattoo artist and the other works in the restaurant business. It took about three to four months post- shutdown for the tattoo shop to get

New York State authorization to reopen, while restaurants are still struggling. Consequently, my other son is still waiting to find a job. Perhaps the worst waiting of all, even worse than waiting to get back to work, was the life and death waiting – the agonizing waiting of family members to see their ailing loved ones who were confined to hospitals or nursing homes, with strict rules prohibiting visitors. Tragically, for so many, that waiting turned into grieving. Months passed and we waited for vaccines to be developed and approved. They became available in record time. Then we waited to get appointments to be vaccinated. We spent frustrating hours, days and weeks on the phone and internet trying to secure appointments. There is no shortage of tips about how to cope with waiting. The advice includes employing breathing and muscle relaxing exercises, listening to music and maintaining a sense of humor.

Naturally, all of these suggestions are better than blowing a gasket and ending up with a heart attack or stroke. New Yorkers are used to waiting in traffic and have had lots of opportunities to practice coping with frustration and maintaining self-control as an alternative to getting stressed out, weaving in and out of traffic and erupting into episodes of road rage. I’m sure I’ve missed a few of the waiting experiences that we’ve all encountered in the last year. For me, though, I think most frustrating of all has been waiting for Americans to come together as a people to get through this health disaster with locked arms, as we did so wonderfully before World War II and after 9/11. Most depressing of all, when all is said and done with COVID-19, is knowing that coming together and healing a deeply divided nation will be the longest and most perilous wait of all.

VIEW POINT

Biden’s smart plan for infrastructure overhaul

resident Joe Biden calls his American Jobs Plan a once-in-a-generation investment in the future and America’s ability to retain global leadership just as past bold, visionary infrastructure investments have done – the transcontinental railroad, the national highway system, the Space Race, the Internet. Significantly, the $2 trillion plan is an amount that would be spent over the next eight to 10 years, not all at once, like the $2 trillion CARES Act or the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan. Biden has presented a cogent approach to paying for the plan – unlike Republicans with the 2017 Trump tax scam, which cost the Treasury $2 trillion, 83 percent of which went directly to the pockets of the wealthiest 1 percent and biggest corporations. Indeed, 55 of the Fortune 500 companies paid zero tax on 2020 profits, while some profitable companies even get huge taxpayer-funded rebates. With all the loopholes in the tax code, the average rate corporations pay is a mere 8

percent. As Biden pointed out, a fireman and a nurse with two children pay more in tax, at 22 percent of their income, than these billion-dollar companies that pay zero. Indeed, corporate taxes account for 7 percent of federal tax revenue; in 1952, the corporate share was 32 percent. Raising the corporate rate to 28 percent from 21 percent (still lower than 35 percent) and imposing a 15 percent minimum tax on companies earning $2 billion or more would raise $1 trillion over 15 years. Taxpayers are still paying $40 billion in subsidies to Big Oil, funds that should instead go toward incentivizing entrepreneurs developing clean, renewable energy. The Trump tax plan continued to incentivize off-shoring jobs and profits to avoid tax, but Biden would end those incentives while incentivizing job-generating investments at home. Biden would impose a 21 percent minimum tax for multinational corporations that have exploited (and created) loop-

KAREN RUBIN View Point

holes for tax avoidance, while creating a global “race to the bottom” for countries like Ireland and the Cayman Islands to entice companies to set up post boxes there. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is calling for a global minimum tax rate (good luck with that). And why shouldn’t Big Business pay their fair share of taxes? Big Business is the biggest beneficiary of infrastructure gains, including the new industries, improved transportation, universal access to broadband, cheaper Internet, improved public education, ac-

cess to college, as well as access to affordable child care (the grease to the workforce gears). Additionally, the plan calls for substantial, meaningful investment in R&D so that the United States won’t be left in China’s proverbial dust. Biden would also restore the top tax rate of 39.6 percent on the wealthiest individuals – pledging that no one earning less than $400,000 will see an increase. That seems fair since income inequality has only been exacerbated since the 2017 tax cuts and especially during the coronavirus pandemic, which produced a one-third increase in the number of billionaires to 2,755 in just this year. Billionaires’ wealth expanded from $8 trillion to $13 trillion; the top 1 percent, who own 35 percent of the wealth created, average $30 million in net worth, compared to the bottom half of all Americans, with 4 percent of the wealth created, who average $36,000 in net worth, according to New York Times columnist Steve Rattner. Biden, pledging to reward “work not wealth,” would also

raise the capital gains tax for households with $1 million or more income, from the low of 20 percent to the top rate for income, which Biden wants to restore to 39.6 percent. Biden would also raise estate and inheritance taxes, which Republican administrations have cut, raising the threshold from $5.45 million to $11.4 million before estate taxes kicked in. Instead, Biden would lower the threshold to $3.5 million and raise the estate tax rate from 40 percent to 45 percent. “Wealth/income inequality is bad for society the economy and human rights,” Rattner remarked on MSNBC. “[Progressive as opposed to regressive] tax policy should work to rebalance [inequality].” Income inequality, he said, is the “lit fuse of social combustion.” Meanwhile, Biden seems open to ending the cap on SALT (State and Local Taxes), which the Trump tax scam used to reduce the deficit to afford cutting taxes for the wealthiest, while Continued on Page 18

OUR TOWN

Triumph of the Asian mindset in golf

he winner of the 85th Masters Tournament, golf’s biggest major, is the mild-mannered, unassuming Japanese golfer Hideki Matsuyama. This 29-year-old managed to fulfill the hopes and dreams of his golf-crazed nation to become the first Japanese man to win a major and by doing so it is estimated that this victory will be worth upwards of $1 billion to him in endorsements and appearance fees. Such is the love that Japan and the world has for golf. So it is worth discussing exactly how any human being on Earth would be able to withstand the pressure felt at The Masters, the magnificent history of this event, competing with the world’s best, the problems presented by an immaculately groomed golf course that demands perfection from the golfer and the weight of an entire nation. The look on his face after he managed to win this event

and walked off the green was far from elation or joy. It was more a look of extreme exhaustion coupled with pain and anxiety. Let us now talk a bit about the mindset of the Asian golfer. At the outset, we will mention that he is not the first player with Asian blood to rise to the top of the golf world. Remember that the one and only Tiger Woods is half Asian with his mother, Kultide, being from Thailand. We also have Rickie Fowler, who is one-quarter Japanese; Jason Days’ mother is from the Philippines. Last year Collin Morikawa, whose ethnicity is half Chinese and half Japanese, won the PGA Championship. And the LPGA has long been dominated by Asian women from South Korea, China and Japan. But Hideki Matsuyama really does exemplify the prototypical Asian mindset. His stoicism and placid demeanor were established early on. Researchers suggest that the Asian child is raised by the moth-

er to have omoiyari, or heightened sensitivity and empathy for others. The child is created to possess not a self but a we/self fully oriented to the group rather than to himself as American children are raised. They establish a highly developed super-ego and ego ideal and are expected to be perfectionistic, self-critical and socially shy. They are also expected to have extreme self-restraint and all of these traits make them perfectly suited for the game of

golf, which also demands selfrestraint, subtly, self-control and perfectionism. There is a price to be paid for all this restraint and perfectionism, however. It is well known in epidemiological research that the classic emotional issue in Asians is not anxiety or depression but rather psychosomatic problems. Their body is given the task of coping with all those repressed emotions like anger or anxiety.

There are a few American golfers who have this same kind of stoic fortitude, work ethic, perfectionism and composure under pressure. This is a very short list that includes Brooks Koepka, Patrick Reed and Gary Woodland, all tough guys who are able to remain self-contained and selfpossessed no matter what goes on around them.

Town’s Women’s Roll of Honor honorees

very year we celebrate influential women of our town with the Women’s Roll of Honor. The award is named after the late May W. Newburger, who served as North Hempstead supervisor from 19942003. May was an iconic leader who blazed a trail for women as well as for all of us in public service. There is no shortage of incredible women who have made their impact on the Town of North Hempstead. Whether it be through public or private efforts, these individuals are a large measure of what makes the town the amazing place it is in which to live, work and raise our families. They serve as role models not only for women, but for all who they come in contact with and whose lives are enriched by what

they do each and every day. The Women’s Roll of Honor is now in its 28th year. Normally, the honorees are inducted at a ceremony during the last week in March, culminating Women’s History Month. It is a breakfast that typically draws close to 300 attendees and takes place at Harbor Links Golf Course in Port Washington. Last year, such an event was impossible to host. In lieu of the large in-person gathering, we made arrangements to do smallscale, socially distanced presentations with each of those honorees. As we continue to adapt to unprecedented times, this year’s event will continue in a way that is respectful of public health. Nominations for the May W. Newburger Women’s Roll of Honor are called for in January and

WAYNE WINK

North Hempstead Town Clerk reviewed in February and March of each year. The honorees are selected by the Women’s Roll of Honor Committee, an anonymous group of past honorees from throughout the town. The selections have always been done this way to avoid

political interference. In a typical year, we receive over 50 unique nominations. As such, I can once again state with great confidence that this year’s honorees reflect the diversity that makes our town such a special place. Through humanitarian, philanthropic or volunteer service, each one of these honorees has made a lasting influence on our community, and most importantly, touched the lives of others in a self-less way. This year’s honorees come from a wide variety of disciplines including education, religious groups, civic organizations and charities. While they come from all different backgrounds, the common thread which binds them all is their willingness to serve. A large ceremony and tokens of esteem are hardly indicative of their

achievements. We only ask that they continue to keep up their good work.

Letter writer parrots Trump’s words

thank Ms. Palmer for mentioning my name in her letter, “The evil of wokeness in America today.” She refers to my comments about her letter as being rude to her, but the comment, factually Albert Einstein’s, applies to many millions of people out there who have been brainwashed by Donald Trump. What she is doing is merely parroting the words of the former president. I’m sure she believes that the presidential election was stolen. Yep! Like a good soldier, she falls right in line. But what about listening and believing the words of Trump’s former attor-

ney general, William Barr, who declared that “the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.” If you still believe he won, logic dictates that we can’t believe anything else you might say that supports his words. The election was fair and square. Move on! Regarding her current letter, she cites examples of how far Black people have come based upon her exposure to so many in her church and the fact that many others have become so successful, thus denying the existence of “systemic

racism.” That’s like me saying my best friend is Black. Her thinkingseems to be basic racist thinking, but what’s scary is that although she seems like a well-intentioned person, she isn’t aware that her remarks are racist. Yetshe goes on to blame the “left” for spouting out “anti-white propaganda, thus causing division and fostering hate in our country.Frankly, I’m surprised that she did not go to the other extreme by referring to the many minorities who are in prison for unlawful acts and expanding that to the entire groups. I won’t get into Ms. Palmer’s ramblings about gender dysphoria

for young people except to suggest that she see a psychiatrist or psychologist — not related to her well-being but to find out and understand why these young people have such needs and desires to change their gender. As for my inability to refute any statement of hers with a cogent argument, all I can say is that all her arguments are based upon Trump’s wrong or false statements, opinions or beliefs. To refute means presenting correct facts and I’ve done that. We’ve had enough of false facts. It’s just a matter of time until Trump’s trial takes place in New York when

the truth will come out about his character or lack thereof, his illegal self-interest dealings and hush payments made to women on his behalf. And, to put Trump’s character in proper perspective, another federal prosecutor was just hired as a special assistant district attorney for Trump’s trial, one who previously oversaw the prosecution of members of the Mafia and of the prosecution of Gambino crime boss John Gotti. That’s Trump’s type of company. And she questions my intellect? Let’s hear it for intellect. Alvin Goldberg Great Neck

N.Y. Dems should fight for SALT cap repeal

was glad to read that U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi has taken a strong stance in support of repealing the cap on the SALT tax deduction that was enacted as part of the Trump tax plan, saying that he will vote against any changes to the tax code unless a repeal of the cap is included. As a Mineola resident, I would like to know why Rep. Kathleen Rice is not taking a similarly strong position. For that matter, where are Sens. Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand? A major factor in why blue states such as New York have higher state and local taxes is that we pay more in federal taxes than

our communities receive in benefits. Therefore, we must pay higher state and local taxes to provide adequate funding for vital services such as our public schools. The SALT deduction does not change this fact, but it does attenuate the degree to which it is the case. This was widely accepted as a reasonable compromise until the Trump administration came around. In his letter to the editor, Donald Davret argued in favor of the SALT cap by claiming that many Long Island school districts are the de facto equivalent of private schools with the cost paid through property taxes rather than an annual tuition bill. While

there is no doubt truth to this in some districts, it is not the case across the board. I grew up in Port Washington, where students who benefit from free and reduced lunches and students who live in houses on multiacre plots with seven-figure price tags go to the same high-quality schools. They attend classes together with the same teachers, the overwhelming majority of whom are excellent. If the SALT cap is repealed, it will likely have the effect of making communities like Port Washington less affordable to the middle class, thereby increasing rather than decreasing economic segregation. If equality

of opportunity is our goal, then we should be seeking ways to export the Port Washington model not just to other districts on Long Island but throughout the nation rather than changing the tax code in ways that may disincentivize such economically heterogeneous communities from existing in the first place. Mr. Davret references people earning $400,000 per year, yet the reality is that one need not earn even half that much money in order to be adversely affected by the SALT cap. The bottom line is that this change does affect the middle class, not just the very wealthy. It is also important to note that the

blue states that suffer under this policy generally have the highest cost of living in the country. One must earn more money here than in most other places in order to enjoy a middle-class lifestyle. Given this, it is reasonable to seek to reduce the additional tax burden on people living here relative to those earning the same income in areas where basic necessities such as housing can be obtained for far less money. New York Democrats should keep their promises to the voters and fight to repeal this unfair provision. David Golub Mineola

Berkowitz provides informed leadership

oard of Education leadership is an essential ingredient for any successful school district. Barbara Berkowitz has supplied that informed leadership for the Great Neck Public Schools for the last 29 years, years during which Great

Neck has continued to set the standard against which other schools in the county, state and nation measure themselves. Her leadership as board president has seen the district respond to unique challenges and she has consistently done so re-

sponsibly, frugally, and collaboratively, while always maintaining a connection with the community she loves and is proud to represent. I was privileged to witness this leadership personally during my time with the

district and have come to learn that such progressive thinking and actions are not the norm in most communities. Dr. Thomas P. Dolan Former Superintendent Great Neck Public Schools

Barbara Berkowitz is a proven leader

he virulence written over the course of the last year, both in local newspapers and on social media, requires some reflection. How did we get here and what is being done for our schools? We have seen articles accusing the Great Neck Public Schools of endangering our children prior to announcing a solid reopening plan even while administration and board members were working tirelessly to meet the governor’s dictates. We have seen allegations of board members being out of touch with the community as their children are no longer students in the district when, in fact, they have over 6,000 children in the district. We have read articles comparing budgets from 30 years ago to current budgets without any correlation to the cost of living, salaries or home prices. (For the record, the budget tripled in the last 30 years, but the house

next door to mine sold for five times the amount it sold for in 1994. It would seem that the district is doing something right by protecting and contributing to the value of most people’s largest investment.) Recently, there were accusations that the Board of Education intentionally scheduled the annual budget vote and board elections to conflict with the observance of Shavuot so that many would be unable to vote. The third Tuesday in May was not calculated, but rather dictated by the state Education Department. The third Tuesday of May, as dictated by the state, unfortunately fell on the date on which Shavuot was drawing to a close. A quick Google search shows that this is the first time this has happened in the last 20 years, so it is easy to understand how this could have been overlooked. While you may disagree with me, by now we have seen the email from our

Board of Education President Barbara Berkowitz in which she took (undue) responsibility and announced a resolution. We will now vote May 11. Imagine for a moment if our Board of Education was headed by inexperienced and powerless individuals. Would they have had the ability to connect with legislators and Regents to facilitate a date change? Our Board of Education gets things done. And while all members of our board are respected and appreciated, our reality right now is that only one of them is up for re-election: Barbara Berkowitz. Barbara, throughout her tenure on the Board of Education, has been a proven leader. She is well-respected by local government simply because she has experience in our schools that is unmatched. Mrs. Berkowitz started her volunteer work with the Great Neck Public Schools decades ago while her children were at E.M. Baker School. Since

that time, she has tirelessly devoted countless nights and weekends for the benefit of our children and community. We have programs and services in Great Neck that other districts discuss at their Board meetings, desperate to emulate. We have highly ranked schools that did not happen by accident. We have programs and services in this district that keep our children safe, allow them to compete for placement in excellent colleges and maintain our property values. This is the result of years of hard work and investment in our district. Our reality is that Barbara Berkowitz is our most experienced Board member and we need to re-elect her. Remember to vote for Barbara Berkowitz on Tuesday, May 11. Diane Yellis Great Neck Parent

Reopen passage from Penn to 34th St.

ur new $212 billion state budget includes $1.3 billion toward Gov. Cuomo’s proposed $16 billion Empire Station Complex. It is just the first installment or down payment. The funds are supposed to pay for additional new Penn Station transit improvements. It will be years before the environmental review process, along with design and engineering are completed and any construction contracts can be awarded to support future transit improvements. There remains a fatal financial flaw for the overall funding package. This $16 billion project, just like the Port Authority’s $10 billion, new 42nd Street Midtown Manhattan bus terminal, are both counting on the sale of air rights as a source for billions to help defray construction costs. There is a glut of surplus office space in Hudson Yards west of Penn Station and other Manhattan neighborhoods. When leases are up, as a result of COVID-19 many companies are moving into smaller spaces. Others are subleasing excess space. The Penn Empire Station Complex and Port Authority Bus Terminal projects are both located on the west side of Midtown Manhattan only eight blocks from each other. They will be competing against each other for future tenants. If the air right sales generate less than the anticipated revenue, the shortfall could be in the billions. This deficit will have to be made up by the project sponsor,

the Empire State Development Corp. The agency will look toward the states of New York and New Jersey, the MTA and NJ Transit for a financial bailout. This means higher MTA and Port Authority bridge tolls, fare increases for NJ Transit, LIRR and NYC Transit subway riders, along with other tax increases and user fees. Gov. Cuomo attempts to portray himself as the second coming of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Master Builder Robert Moses. He is not an engineer, businessperson, transportation expert or daily commuter. He has never built a business from scratch or created a significant number of new good paying jobs on his own. Many LIRR commuters believe bringing the 110-year-old East River Tunnels (two of which suffered significant damage from 2012 Superstorm Sandy) up to a state of good repair is a higher priority. Cuomo’s $16 billion Penn Station Empire Station Complex does nothing to end the periodic cancellation and combination of LIRR trains due to signal, power, derailments and other East River tunnel problems. They would also welcome reopening of the old Hilton Corridor, also known as Gimbels Passageway, which led to 34th Street underground. Until the early 1980s, both LIRR and NJ Transit riders exiting east at Penn Station had a direct underground passageway known as the Hilton Corridor. It was also known as the

Gimbels Passageway. Gimbels was Macy’s chief competitor at Herald Square. This provided a simple indoor connection to the 34th Street Herald Square IND and BMT subway, along with Port Authority Trans Hudson (PATH) station complex. Both passageways were closed many decades ago by NYC Transit and the LIRR, due to security issues. If reopened today, commuters would have easy connections to the Broadway N, R, Q, W and 6th Avenue B, D, F M subway lines along with the PATH system – rather than walking outside on the street exposed to both in-

clement weather and heavy vehicular traffic. By using either the subway or walking, riders would have direct access via these subway lines to Manhattan Midtown and the East Side along with the Broadway, 6th Avenue, 42nd, 53rd, 59th or 63rd Street corridors, served by numerous subway lines and stations.

Glickman enters G.N. school board race

ollowing 15 years of service to the Great Neck community and 20 years of experience as a nonprofit executive, I am running for a seat on the school board because I want to help in the present challenging moment. I am committed to bringing a studentfirst perspective to our district’s leadership and endeavoring to provide every student with the resources and experiences necessary to succeed in both school and life. I believe the Great Neck School District has become rudderless after decades of compla-

cent re-election of career politicians. The school board’s recent decision-making has been less than transparent and its ability to communicate with parents is inconsistent and ineffective. What we need instead is a representative body that is driven by purpose and inclusive of those whose children are currently being educated in our schools. We need a school board that doesn’t just talk about technology but is prepared to invest in the tools needed to properly power our children’s education. We need a school board committed to creating future-ready curricula and

facilities to support student-centered learning. We need a school board prepared to invest in highquality professional development to support our teachers’ ability to meet the demands of this and future generations of students. We need a school board that is committed to implementing a full reopening of our schools. Once elected I will continue to ask tough questions and work tirelessly to ensure that critical decisions are made in public view, with input from the community and clarity about where I stand on the issues. This moment demands that we come together

to do better for our children and make smarter investments in our school system—from recruiting outstanding personnel to envisioning what the future of public education in Great Neck should look like. As a 16-year resident of Great Neck, I serve as chair of the executive committee and past president of the Board of Directors of the Gold Coast Arts Center and Gold Coast International Film Festival. I served on the Citizens Advisory Committee for Great Neck School District’s Board of Education and I am a member of the United Parent-

Teacher Council Budget Committee. Together with my wife Sumi (a former finance executive), we have three children in Great Neck Public Schools — North Middle School and Saddle Rock Elementary School — and are proud Great Neck Soccer parents. Great Neck School District needs a new generation of leadership and we need to stop politicizing our children’s education. To learn more, please visit“http://www.glickman.info” Michael S.

fame and fortune. Way back in 1996, Gary Smith of Sports Illustrated wrote a piece entitled “The Chosen One,” which announced the arrival of the sport’s next superstar. It was the story of a young Tiger Woods and Smith’s prescient piece predicted that Tiger Woods’ only real foe would be fame itself and that it would be hard to predict who would win that fight. Well, we all know what fame did to Tiger Woods, seeing the way it wreaked havoc on his personal life. And now as the media an-

nounces the arrival of this next unassuming, shy, quiet, humble superstar my guess is that fame is carefully eyeing him with interest and plotting exactly how to take him down. If Hideki thought he had to practice self-restraint on the fairways of Augusta National, he may be surprised to face the acute greed and never-ending demands that fame is about to put on his 5-foot11 frame. I hope he has been weight-lifting for a while. For the weight of fame is said to be heavy indeed.

Biden’s plan to pay for infrastructure overhaul Continued from Page 15 specifically penalizing Blue states like New York and California where state and local taxes on average exceed the $10,000 cap. (The states have fought it as unconstitutional double taxation, and some congressional members, including Tom Suozzi, have said they would not back Biden’s proposal without eliminating the SALT cap.) Other ways this about-time investment in America’s Build

Back Better infrastructure will be paid for: 19 million more well-paying jobs (Biden proposes a Made in America purchasing program) increase federal revenue while reducing spending on social programs (food stamps, etc.) and improves productivity. Increasing IRS enforcement ($1.4 TRILLION outstanding), Biden said, “would raise tens of billions of dollars. It adds up to more than what I proposed

in just 15 years. It’s honest. It’s fair. It’s fiscally responsible. And it pays for what we need and reduces the debt over the long haul.” Cut military spending (where is that peace dividend we were supposed to get?) — the next war will be fought in cyberspace, not via war planes, ships or tanks. There is also the cost-benefit analysis that needs to be considered: If this country doesn’t

spend the money, it will pay out far more in health care, lost productivity (and premature death), climate disasters that are draining the treasury of $100 billion a year, and the cost of being left back in the global marketplace as other countries forge ahead. Americans invented the Internet but China could very well replace it with an entirely new system. Infrastructure represents investments in the future, not one-

time Band-aids of relief after a catastrophe –every $1 spent has a return on investment of $1.50. Biden has been clear that he is open to other ideas and to compromise and, unlike Trump, he has invited Republicans to the Oval Office to discuss other proposals.“We’ll be open to good ideas and good-faith negotiations. But here’s what we won’t be open to: We will not be open to doing nothing. Inaction simply is not an option.”

How to handle rising home equity

s the market has rebounded over the last 10 years, negative equity for many who were able to remain in their homes has turned positive with over 50 percent of homeowners having gained equity in their homes as per Core Logic through 2020. According to Census Bureau data as of the last quarter of 2020, households aged: 45-54 had $70,860 in home equity totaling 64 percent of their net worth; 5564 had $103,400 in home equity totaling 61 percent of their net worth; 65-69 had $136,670 in home equity totaling 61 percent of their net worth. About 38 percent of homeowners had paid off their mortgage at the end of 2020, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Some 74 percent of retirees owned their home outright. As of March 2021, according to a new report from Core Logic, homeowners with a mortgage saw their equity increase by a total of $1.5 trillion from the fourth quarter of 2019 to the fourth quarter of 2020. There has been much less refinancing over the last few years compared to the 1980s, when so many used their homes as a piggybank to pull money out for non-essentials, such as boats, cars and other items, or what I would call foolish non-beneficial

expenditures. Many have learned their lessons and are being more prudent with the built-up equity in their homes. Homeowners are in much better shape today than back then. Well then, the question arises with all that equity, what should you consider doing with it — let it ride and do nothing ? Maybe buy a larger home while interest rates are so low? Or just maybe downsize and cash out? Or maybe, if you take a line of credit and/or refinance, you might consider investing it in a rental property or possibly a second vacation home that could enable you to do an Airbnb part-time rental that would enable you to pay all your mortgage and taxes as you build appreciation and additional equity? Another thought and possible avenue to pursue would be to seek out and hire a competent and trustworthy stockbroker with positive reviews to invest some of your money in companies that have value-added potential and/ or pay good dividends. There will always be a risk reward and one must choose the most comfortable position. But remember, pulling equity via a refinancing or applying for a line of credit (no interest is accrued until you use the money). With a normal refinance, you are obviously responsible for

paying the monthly amount with interest, unless you do a reverse mortgage under which you are not obliged to pay anything (get advice and discuss with your mortgage person and/or attorney) until you move or pass away, but the interest continues to accrue. You could also apply for a reverse mortgage as long as you are 62 or older and it is for living expenses and not any form of gambling in the market or even investment properties, because negative situations can and do occur in the stock market as well as in real estate, e.g., loss of tenants, non-paying tenants, unexpected repairs etc. and you do not need the stress and worry. However, if you are still gainfully employed

in a solid industry with excellent income, then other considerations and planning can be made as to where you can gain the best return on your money. Keep in mind, while the Covid-19 pandemic is still around, by law you cannot evict tenants for the time being. One must be very careful to secure the best tenants you can and a Realtor would be your best source to accomplish this task. Taking this on your own would be a huge mistake unless you have many years of experience. But be careful of professional tenants who may have all the credentials of being 10s, when they could be 0s. Checking and verifying their income, credit, debt/income ratios, assets and liabilities will go a long way in searching out the most qualified tenants. Be very careful to make sure, however, that you do not discriminate and be consistent in asking the exact same “legally allowable” questions for all tenants. (Here is the link to the most serious and consequential article in last week’s Newsday’s investigation on housing discrimination: https://www.newsday.com/business/long-island-divided-housing-bias-agents-1.50209901 It’s a wonderful feeling to have all the buildup of equity in your home or your investment

properties. But depending on your age, risk tolerances and investment strategies and still historically low interest rates, you still need to sit down and plan your course of action and absolutely do not jump on just anything that looks good without doing your homework. You have spent years paying down your mortgage and increasing and building the equity in your property, so put in enough time and effort as well as hiring and engaging the right licensed professionals with excellent reviews and recommendations to guide you so that the end result will be profitable in further increasing your wealth for retirement.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING

PORT GOES BIG IN RETURN TO OUTDOOR DINING BY R O S E W E L D ON

Following a successful run in the fall, Port Outdoors is returning, with parts of Main Street in Port Washington again transformed into a pedestrian-only shopping and dining experience. The series is scheduled to have its longest run yet, from May 6 to Oct. 7 on every other Thursday in alternating zones, according to Port Washington Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bobbie Polay. The event is being organized by the Chamber of Commerce, the Port Washington Business Improvement District

and the Town of North Hempstead. “Port Outdoors is a collaboration that is only possible with the support of the Town of North Hempstead,” Polay said. “It is thanks to the Lift Up Local initiative that we are able to bring back and expand this very popular community event.” Entertainment is also in store, with live music and demonstrations from local dance and martial arts studios featured at the Main Stage each week, and individual restaurants will host musicians on site. Landmark on Main Street will again manage the lineup of artists, with a preference to local musicians.

The upper Main Street zone comprises Port Washington Boulevard from Campus Drive to Main Street and Main Street from Port Washington Boulevard to Belleview Avenue near Carlo’s Pizza, as well as Port Commons. Main Street is closed to traffic from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. The complete schedule featuring upper Main Street is May 6, June 3, July 1 and 29, Aug. 26 and Sept. 23. The middle and lower Main Street zone is from Central Drive to Shore Road, which is also closed to traffic from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Nights featuring middle and lower Main Street include May 20, June 17, July 15, Aug. 12, Sept. 9 and Oct. 7.

Holly Byrne, executive director of the Port Washington BID, said the organizers expect Port Outdoors to become a yearly tradition. “We hope Thursday nights become THE night out in Port,” Byrne said. “We expect to rekindle the spark from last year and see it become a tradition to shop and dine locally.” Port Outdoors is hosted by community organizers from BID, Chamber of Commerce, Landmark on Main Street, Residents Forward and the Port Washington Police District, and is made possible with support from the event sponsor, Precision Work Inc.

Diners and shoppers enjoy strolling on Main Street during Port Outdoors 2020. This year, the series expands to 12 nights on every other Thursday from May through October. The kick-off will be on upper Main Street on May 6 followed by middle and lower Main Street on May 20.

Are you ready to reinvest in your home? We’ve spent a lot of time in our homes this past year and you’re probably looking around and thinking it might be time to update, renovate or remodel. But which one? Renovate or remodel? Let’s define the two so when you start considering companies, you’re all on the same page. A RENOVATION is using the existing space and improving function. That includes updating materials, flooring, light fixtures, cabinetry, etc. A REMODEL includes structural changes or additions. This would include finishing a basement with a second means of egress, changing a roofline, enlarging window openings, and adding additional rooms. Whether you’ve decided on a remodel or a renovation, here are five tips to keep in mind that will help with your planning and design before you even get started. Efficiency of Space — Make use of what you have. Add shelving for storage on the back of doors for extra pantry space, a spice rack, a shoe rack in a closet, or cork boards to hide all those school flyers and coupons.

Space under the stairs is underutilized space and often forgotten. This space can serve as hidden storage, a place for cubbies or lockers in a hallway entrance, a playhouse, or even a cozy nook for a small office. Stairwell walls soar high into the staircase ceiling and this is an unexpected blank slate for displays, or a gallery of family pictures. Add a shelf 12-18” below the ceiling that runs the perimeter of the room to display collectibles, books or other items that you do not readily need to access. Add Character without Adding Cost Using recycled items reduces

landfill and you can find some real gems. There are companies and vintage salvage warehouses that take donated items and extra material from contractors and homeowners, and make them available to the general public. Check out: ReStore — new & gently used furniture and construction materials, and it benefits Habitat for Humanity. Big Reuse is located in Brooklyn and, according to their website, they “have everything from panel doors to high-end refrigerators, window shutters to reclaimed lumber, kitchen cabinet sets to salvaged flooring. We serve everyone from

contractors and interior design professionals to renters looking to creatively maximize their apartment space…Net revenue from our Reuse Centers support local, environmental initiatives.” Reclaim Everything in East Northport focuses on salvaged wood from old barns built before 1920 and they create custom vintage furniture from these repurposed materials. Consider them for your flooring, installations, and antique accessories as well. You Do the Dirty Work It’s not glamourous but you can save some money if you do the demo and clean up yourself. But if you do, remember: Safety First. Know where the gas, electrical and plumbing are and how to turn them off. Know which are structural wall. Remove only the sheetrock and leave the studs and supporting structures to the professionals. Have A Budget But Include a Cushion Have a 10-15 percent cushion for extras. If you change materials: laminate to granite, vinyl flooring to real wood. For the “unexpected”: contractor finds mold,

re-wiring needed, old plumbing. Upgrades that you hadn’t considered like soft closures on kitchen drawers and cabinet doors. Finally, where do you start? If you’re not sure if you want a remodel or renovation, take advantage of the free design assistance at Home Depot or Lowe’s. They’re trained and know their products well. They will sit with you and plan your remodel or renovation, offer financing and warranties. They schedule the project that works for you and don’t forget the free delivery. And the internet is your friend for ideas. Check out Houzz and Pinterest for ideas and create your own Inspiration Board. It could be a wish list but wouldn’t it be nice if, with a little planning and preparedness, you can actually make those wishes come true and have the home of your dreams.

Adding plants to water features

ater features can make for relaxing and eye-catching additions to outdoor spaces. According to the online gardening resource Garden KnowHow, a water feature is any landscape enhancement that uses water and other material to bring tranquility and beauty to a space. Thanks to their soothing sounds and aesthetic appeal, water features like ponds and fountains are often included in healing gardens. But they can be used in any and all landscapes. Homeowners can explore various water features, such as waterfalls, koi ponds and even rain bells, which offer soothing chime sounds when it rains. One consideration when installing a water feature is whether or not to incorporate live plants. Certain plants are better suited for water features than others.

Surrounding plants It is possible to create a miniature ecosystem in a yard by surrounding a water feature with certain plants. Gardening Know-How advises using canna lily or taro at the edge of a pond. These plants thrive with roots in mud and their tops in shallow water. Broadleaf arrowhead is another option, as it can do well in a pond’s shallow edges. It’s a perennial so it will come back and requires little maintenance.

Floating plants Many plants can live on the surface of the water and provide hiding spots for wildlife in a natural water feature setting. Lotus, also called water lily, is a popular and fragrant option. Water hyacinth produces vibrant lavender flowers that pop on stems that can reach three feet in height. This stunning species can be invasive, but it can be managed by

planting within a hoop or submerged woven basket, indicates Happy DIY Home. Other free-floating plants to consider are duckweed, fairy moss and butterfly fern. Floating plants look beautiful and they can help filter water and control algae growth.

Submerged plants Submerged plants are a necessity in water features that have fish. Submerged plants are grown in weighted pots placed on the bottom of the pond. They provide shelter for fish and help oxygenate the water. Hornwort, anacharis, water milfoil, and dwarf sagittaria are some examples of submerged plants. Water features attract wildlife, including potentially pesky insects. Planting pitcher plants in submerged pots can help reduce the presence of unwanted insects in a water feature. Some water-loving plants are

invasive, so it is always best to check with a local agricultural extension or the Department of Environmental Protection to see if certain floating or submerged plants are restricted where you live. For those who want to contain plants, placing pots of cascading greenery and flowers near to fountains, pools and ponds is another way to add appeal without having to dig in the ground.

Low-maintenance lawn alternatives A traditional lawn may not be right for every property nor desired by every homeowner. There is no denying that lawns take time and effort to establish and daily or weekly maintenance to thrive. Homeowners who find that a traditional lawn is not practical can explore some low-maintenance alternatives.

Wildflower meadow Homeowners with wide swaths of property may discover meadows are cost- and time-efficient. Stores sell special wildflower meadow mixes of seeds or homeowners can use wildflower plug plants throughout areas where grasses are left to grow longer. This natural area can be a home to wildlife and an idyllic backdrop to a home. Most meadows only require a spring or summer and autumn cut to thrive and look good.

Ornamental grasses

Partition areas of the property for ornamental grasses to grow. The gardening resource Elemental Green says ornamental grasses tend to be drought-resistant and low-maintenance. They won’t need much fertilizer and are often resistant to pests as well. Ornamental grasses grow in tufts or sprays and will not require mowing. However, they are not ideal for areas that get foot traffic.

Moss Moss can thrive in shady areas and ones where the soil tends to stay a bit damp. Moss is velvety soft and green, so it can mimic the look of a traditional lawn but won’t require mowing and other upkeep. Because it spreads quickly, moss can take over quite rapidly. You will need to protect areas where you do not

want moss by creating barriers to stop spread.

Gravel Stone and gravel areas can reduce maintenance in the landscape and require very little upkeep. When gravel is installed correctly, weeds may not grow readily. Gravel installation may include laying heavy-duty, semi-permeable landscape fabric, which is available in home improvement centers. Gravel is cheaper than pavers and can be just as beautiful.

ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLER > ADVERTISE HERE <

Artificial turf If the desired look is a lawn without all the upkeep, there are various artificial grass options on the market. Homeowners who opt for artificial turf can save money and space devoted to lawn mowers and other lawn tools. Grass may be ideal for some, but there are alternatives for people who have troublesome landscapes or desire a low-maintenance product for their homes.

The Roslyn Times, Friday, April 16, 2021

Roslyn to hold graduation at Hofstra Continued from Page 1 “This has been a long year,” he said. “The graduation ceremonies, we think, are important, and we hope schools have graduation ceremonies. We just want them safe and we want them smart.” The guidelines state that the number of attendees allowed will depend on the size of the venue and whether it is outdoors or indoors. For outdoor events, large-scale ceremonies of 500 people or more are limited to 20 percent of a venue’s capacity; medium-scale ceremonies between 201 and 500 people are limited to a third of the venue’s capacity; and small-scale outdoor ceremonies or 200 people or lower are limited to 50 percent of a venue’s capacity. As for indoor events, large ceremonies, or those of 150 people or more, are limited to 10 percent of a venue’s capacity; medium-scale ceremonies of between 101 and 150 people are limited to a third of the venue’s capacity; and small-scale ceremonies of less than 100 people are limited to 50 percent of venue capacity. Attendees of all events must provide contact information for tracing, complete a health screening, partake in social distancing by household, and wear face coverings. At events where attendees exceed the state’s general limits for indoor and outdoor gatherings but stay within the capacity percentage, organizers must require all attendees and employees to show a negative COVID-19 test taken within 72 hours or proof of receiving a complete COVID-19 vaccination at least two weeks before the event. Colleges and schools will also be required to inform their local health departments should events take place. Last year, districts across the North Shore opted for alternative commencements. The Wheatley School and Mineola High School held drive-through graduations, St. Mary’s High School in Manhasset opted for a virtual graduation, Great Neck North High School held a car parade, and Manhasset Secondary School

Roslyn High School held eight small in-person ceremonies, but on Tuesday became the first district in the area to announce a graduation under the new rules, at Hofstra. “The Shuart Stadium venue will enable our Class of 2021 to graduate together as one class,” the district said in an emailed statement to the community. “For over a year, our seniors have had to endure the diﬃcult consequences resulting

from the COVID-19 pandemic. Our excitement is palpable as we prepare to recognize and salute the Roslyn High School Class of 2021 together as one graduating class in Shuart Stadium.” The stadium’s 11,929-seat capacity places it within the large scale outdoor tier, meaning that between 500 and 2,385 attendees, the latter number being 20 percent of the stadium’s capacity, will be allowed at the ceremony. Further details have not yet been given.

Madoff, Ponzi scheme king, dies Continued from Page 1 over $3.2 billion in restitution to the thousands of victims and is expected to return over $4 billion in all. Courtappointed trustees have said including the fund and a series of civil forfeitures concerning those involved with Madoff, a total of $13 billion of the estimated $17.5 billion people invested with Madoff has been returned, according to The Associated Press. According to The Washington Post, the former financier had been in ill health. In February 2020, Madoff had been moved to palliative care within the

facility.

They have both since died: Andrew in Bernard Madoff, who was behind 2014 due to mantle cell lymphoma and the largest Ponzi scheme in Mark in 2010 through suicide. Madoﬀ is survived by his former American history, has died in wife, Ruth, who has mostly stayed out prison at age 82.

Even with the in-person guidelines in place, Cuomo said the state would continue to encourage virtual, drive-in or individual ceremonies. “[Those] are still the safest option for students and families,” Cuomo said. “But, we deserve a break and students deserve their day for graduation and families deserve a little good news. It’s been a long, long year.”

Students rally against anti-Asian acts Continued from Page 3 stereotypes Asian-American women faced in dayto-day life as well as in the entertainment industry. “I am not your virus. I am not your model minority. I am not your fetish. I am not your scapegoat. I am human,” Gao said. Also in attendance were Legislator Ellen Birnbaum (D-Great Neck) and Town of North Hempstead Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey, also from Great Neck. The two cited the collaborative eﬀorts by the students and praised all in attendance for joining as a unified group to condemn acts of hatred.

“We know here on the North Shore that we’re very close to the city, and anything could happen at any time,” Birnbaum said. “We really must all stand united and show each other that we are one community.” “In the Town of North Hempstead, just like here in Great Neck ... we are one community, and we are stronger together,” Lurvey said. The group of roughly 40 students and adults took to the streets while chanting calls for peace and to stop hatred directed at Asian-Americans. Months before the event, the Great Neck

school district was the subject of a letter from nearly 40 parents reporting that younger students of Asian descent had been asked if they ate bats and were called “COVID-19 spreaders” by other students. District Superintendent Teresa Prendergast said at the time that no anti-Asian incidents had occurred on school grounds. Oﬃcials said more than 3,800 anti-Asian incidents were reported across the nation in 2020. There was also a 149 percent increase in anti-Asian hate crimes in the 16 largest cities in the U.S. in 2020, oﬃcials said.

Continued from Page 8 Layout editor Yvonne Farley, who has served at Blank Slate since 2016, earned second place in the Best House Ad Campaign and Best Small Space Ad categories, as well as third place in the Best Large Space Ad categories. Farley’s work was praised for standout images and eye-catching visuals. “I count it a privilege whenever I get the chance to use my creativity to boost a customer’s ad campaign,” Farley said in an interview. “Winning an award for doing so is an added bonus. Special thanks to NYPA for the recognition and congratulations to all of the winners.” Fellow layout editor Lorens Morris-Rawlings, a five-year veteran of the company, received second place in the contest’s Best E-Mail Marketing category, receiving praise for color and eye appeal.

“When you are doing the day-to-day work you really are not thinking of awards,” Morris-Rawlings said. “It’s always nice to get recognized for something, and it also shows the progression and changes of the industry, where we have integrated print and online to get the news to readers.” Blank noted that the difficulties of 2020 made success in the advertising categories all the sweeter. “We were planning a move of our offices, but COVID really dominated,” Blank said. “So I was very proud that we won in areas of assisting our advertisers through our use of the email through our advertising. The fact that we’re doing a quality job, that we’re offering both quality in the advertising and the marketing end of our business, as well as the editorial side of the business, as well as the reporting and in the opinions section.”

total coming from the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Curran said her administration has looked at ways to modify county-run operations to continue to keep the pace of daily inoculations. Residents who have appointments for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine at staterun facilities will be getting the Pfizer vaccine, she said. Curran said Northwell Health was able to provide Moderna vaccines to substitute for the Johnson & Johnson shots for Tuesday, so as to not cancel any appointments She also said the county is working to see how the pause will affect its homebound and inmate vaccinations. According to state Health Department data, more than 615,000 Nassau County residents had received at least one vaccination dose as of Wednesday, with more than 418,000 having completed a vaccination series.

Nassau halts J&J vaccine Continued from Page 8 “In this setting, administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given.” On Tuesday, Curran called the news about the vaccine and the action to halt the shots “a setback” and reiterated that the public’s health and safety remains the county’s top priority. “Because the CDC and FDA have recommended that we stop, that we pause the use of J&J, we’re going to do that at all of our county-run sites until further notice,” Curran said. “I want to remind residents that our vaccination program is still robust, it is still going strong, but we will be pausing any use of Johnson & Johnson.” Curran said more than 45 percent of county residents had received at least one vaccination, with “a small percentage” of that

Northwell workplace ranked 19th Continued from Page 6 Fortune’s top 100 list is based on results from the magazine’s ongoing annual workforce study, representing more than 4.1 million employees in 2021 alone. Eighty-five percent of the evaluation is based on what employees report about their experiences, which are then analyzed relative to each organization’s size, workforce makeup, and what’s typical in the industry and region. Other factors considered include an assessment of employees’ daily experiences of the company’s values, people’s ability to contribute new ideas and the effectiveness of leaders. Ninety percent of Northwell’s employee respondents in the Fortune survey reported being “proud to tell others” where they work and

84 percent said that “taking everything into account, they would say it is a great place to work,” a 2 percent increase from the previous year. Fortune’s write-up of the system’s placement noted that in the middle of March last year, Northwell’s hospitals had only 100 COVID-19 patients, but that the number ballooned by the end of the month. “Fast-forward to 2021 and the sprawling health system says it treated about 20% of New York’s COVID patients in the pandemic’s early days and by March of this year had treated more than 180,000 COVID patients,” the write-up reads. “The company was aggressive in its efforts to procure and provide protective equipment for its workers from the get-go and moved some

10,000 of its then 73,000-strong staff to work from home as soon as the outbreak hit. It has added another 3,000 employees since then.” The Northwell entry on the list also notes that the system provides subsidized child care, compressed workweeks, fully paid sabbaticals, on-site gyms for employees, sick days for those working part time, college tuition reimbursement and student loan debt repayment, among others. Northwell’s Best Companies to Work For recognition comes on the heels of the health system being named to Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Health Care & Biopharma list, earning the No. 2 spot for the category of large health care organization.

NBA champ to coach Hofstra Continued from Page 6 “When you ask Speedy who he is and what he does, he doesn’t say NBA champion,” Cole said. “He doesn’t talk about his NBA career as a player. He says he’s a college basketball coach. And now he’s the new head men’s basketball coach at his beloved Hofstra University.” Claxton said he was excited to begin preparing for the coming season, but mentioned some of the initial goals. “My vision for the program is to continue, empower, educate and uplift young men, for the future,”

Claxton said. “I want these young men to envision their dreams, as well as realize them.” Claxton is the 13th men’s basketball head coach in the program’s history. Cole thanked Mihalich for his eight years as head coach and lauded the turnaround he provided for a once-struggling program. “[Joe] served as a leader, an example for the players, and all of us including myself as the athletic director,” Cole said. “He’s one of the best men I know in the business, and I’m very thankful that now I get to partner with them in this new ad-

ministrative role.” “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t because of you,” Claxton said to Mihalich. “I love you forever.” While Claxton is starting off with a team that has seen more recent success than Mihalich inherited in 2013, there will be some initial pressure to succeed from a fan base one year removed from a Colonial Athletic Association championship. This past year, the Pride finished with a 13-10 record, losing in the conference tournament semifinals to Elon.

Second-half school property taxes due May 10 North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Receiver of Taxes Charles Berman remind residents that the last day to pay the 2020-2021 school taxes – second-half bill – without a penalty is Monday, May 10, 2021. Secondhalf of the 2020-2021 school tax payments must be postmarked by the U.S. Postal Service on or before May 10, 2021 to avoid penalty. Online tax payment information is shown on the reverse side of your bill. Online payments may be made by check (ACH) or credit

card at: northhempsteadny.gov/ tax-payments. A $2.00 processing fee for online check payments will apply. If paying with an online check through your bank, please schedule the payment at least ten days prior to the deadline and be sure to include your account number (located in the upper right-hand corner of the tax bill), bill number and/or your section, block and lot. The online credit card payment processing fee will remain at 2.35 percent of the tax amount per

transaction. New York General Municipal Law requires people paying their property taxes by credit card to also pay the fees associated with the payment transaction. The Town receives no portion of the service fee – that fee is retained by the payment processing vendors. Accepted credit cards are American Express, Mastercard, Discover, or Visa. Additionally, to adhere to social distancing requirements, there will be no in-person payments and no cash payments accepted. Com-

munity collection sites have been canceled for this period and the main office at 200 Plandome Road in Manhasset is closed to the general public. Payments can be made via U.S. Mail, online via the Receiver’s online payment portal or delivered in-person to a dropbox located in the vestibule of the Tax Office. Before dropping off payments, please ensure you have written your check, include your school tax bill number and/or section block and lot, and placed your remittance

stub(s) in a sealed envelope. Anyone making payments by mail should include the remittance stub(s) with their check or money order in the return envelope. They are also asked to write their Bill Number(s) on the check(s), include the payment stub, and make checks payable to: Charles Berman, Receiver of Taxes and mail to the Receiver of Taxes at 200 Plandome Road, Manhasset, NY 11030. For more information or if you have additional questions, please call 311 or 516-869-6311.

Law firm to host event on Temple program domestic violence, finances on Jewish afterlife Domestic violence comprises a range of behaviors beyond physical and emotional abuse. Abusers often use intimidation, degradation, and isolation to deprive victims of their rights to physical security, dignity and respect.

April 20 Educational Event

“Coercive control” describes a course of oppressive behavior, a form of ongoing oppression that invades all arenas of women’s activity by limiting access to money and other basic resources. Forensic expert Chitra Raghavan is a clinical psychologist specializing in the assessment of domestic violence and traumatic outcomes in divorce matters. In partnership with Great Neck law firm, Wisselman Harounian and Associates and The Safe Center, Dr. Rhaghavan will speak to the community about the trauma of abuse. Other speakers in the panel are Keith Scott, educational director of The Safe Center, and Michele Ellen Kern-Rappy, senior settlement coordinator for the New York County Supreme Court. Dr. Raghavan serves as an expert witness often addressing the following topics:· How coercive control tactics are often invisible to outsiders· How control is used to “entrap” or bully-victims.Why survivors return to abusive relationships or won’t testify against abusers· Psychological impairment and other effects of violence and abuse. This is a complimentary event. If you are a mental health professional, the program offers free educational credits. Sponsors for the event include The Safe Center, the Domestic Harmony Foundation, and the Center for the Women of New York.

Guidance Center CEO announces retirement After 45 years of dedicated service, Andrew Malekoff has announced his retirement from North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, Long Island’s premiere children’s mental health agency. Malekoff, who joined the Guidance Center as an intern in 1977, has been the organization’s Executive Director/CEO for 15 years. He has a distinguished record of leadership and innovation, creating many of the agency’s most successful programs. Malekoff provided administrative leadership in the development of the Guidance Center’s substance use treatment and prevention program, which made it the first organization on Long Island to be awarded an Outpatient Chemical Dependency for Youth License to treat adolescents. As a leading voice in advocating for parity, Malekoff has testified in Albany calling for timely and affordable access to mental health and substance use care. His dedication led to a partnership with Long Island University on a research study called Project Access, which revealed massive inequities and roadblocks inherent in accessing mental health care. The study has been cited as an important tool in advocating for essential systemic change. Malekoff is a prolific and highly respected author whose articles have appeared in local and national outlets. He is a renowned expert in group therapy and wrote the definitive book on the subject: “Group Work with Adolescents: Principles and Practice,” which has been published internationally.

In partnership with Nassau B.O.C.E.S., Malekoff developed the Guidance Center’s Intensive Support Program (ISP), a school-based mental health program serving children from ages 5 to 21 years of age from all 56 Nassau districts. The program, now in its 25th year, provides students who are experiencing serious emotional problems an alternative to institutional or more restrictive settings. During his tenure as executive director/CEO, Malekoff spearheaded the Guidance Center’s efforts in childhood mental health research in partnership with major research institutions including the New York State Psychiatric Institute at Columbia University, NYU Child Study Center and Northwell Health. “Under Andy’s tenure, the Guidance Center has been there for families on Long Island during many crises, including the 9/11 attacks, Hurricane Sandy and the pandemic,” said Paul Vitale, Board President. “His leadership has been steady, strong and innovative.” Nancy Lane, former board resident who has worked with Malekoff for three decades, said, “Over his many years at the Guidance Center, Andy has provided compassionate, expert care to children and families experiencing issues such as depression, anxiety, bullying and other serious challenges. His advocacy work and dedication to ending the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness is unmatched. While I have no doubts that the agency will continue to thrive, Andy will be sorely missed.”
