Mayor Bonnie Parente is sworn in to her post while her nephew holds up her Bible and husband and son watch.

Newly elected Mayor Bonnie Parente and a new Board of Trustees were sworn in for the Village of East Williston on Monday after the previous board led by former Mayor David E. Tanner approved the 2019-20 village budget. Village Hall’s boardroom was full of new and past committee and commission members, family members and neighboring village oﬃcials who welcomed East Williston’s new administration. Outgoing Mayor Tanner and the

board approved a $2.4 million budget with no new taxes, a lesser debt load than when he took oﬃce and more interest income. “We’ve been very successful at managing our expenses,” Tanner said. “We’re fortunate enough to have people who want to come and invest in the community and like what this community represents.” Under Tanner’s tenure, East Williston’s tax rate has declined approximately 12 percent since the 2012-13 fiscal year. The largest expense items in the budget are $531,500 to service Continued on Page 87

Herricks teacher talks stalled: union BY S A M U E L GLASSER

representatives were to meet with a fact-finder this week, but each side was to sit down separately with the mediator, she said in an interview after the Board of Education meeting last Thursday night. “In the past, board members sat in the negotiating sessions,” Degliomini said. “Now they send their lawyer and administrators,

but we want a board member sitting at the table as in the past.” She said that during the settlement of the last contract, a board member sat in and “we got it done.” Degliomini noted that the district’s other labor contracts are up for renewal, too. The administrators’ and teaching assistants’ contracts expire in June

and the contracts for nonteaching personnel, such as school bus drivers, custodians and clerical workers, are up in 2020. She was dismayed that there had been no movement on the contract for months and this was the first time in many years that the contract had not been settled by the opening of the school year.

Road closures coming GCP firehouse too to Carle Place: LIRR idle: former chief Traffic diversions required for bridge, track work

Response curtailed during school hours

BY M AY L A N L . STUDART

Oﬃcials with the Long Island Rail Road and 3rd Track Constructors came to New Hyde Park’s Marcus Community Center last week to provide the public with an update on the status of the third-track project. Construction of the third track began in January 2018 and heavier construction activities are already underway along the nearly 10-mile stretch of mainline track. Significant road closures are coming to Carle Place in addition to nightly and weekend work along the railroad right-of-way throughout the Main Line corridor, residents were told last Wednesday. There will be a significant road closure in Carle Place to begin the Cherry Lane Bridge Replacement project. Starting Wednesday, Cherry Lane was to be closed from the south side of Mineola Avenue to the north side of Atlantic Avenue for about eight weeks between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Detours have been established to help motorists get around the closure. Vehicles heading in either direction of Cherry Lane are asked to use Mineola, Rushmore and Atlantic avenues to get around the closure. Flaggers will be placed at each intersection to guide residents to their homes. Local traﬃc only will be allowed in the area during construction. Commercial trucks will be redirected away from Cherry Lane at the Northern Parkway exit and at Old Country Road. The Town of North Hempstead will institute a temporary parking ban for the duration of construction. In New Hyde Park, construction is continuing on a temporary firehouse ahead of the closing of

The Garden City Park Fire Department has severely curtailed emergency responses from one of the district’s two firehouses during school hours, according to a former chief. Under certain circumstances, fire district commissioners said, the district’s centrally located Station 2 at 1030 Denton Ave. has not been allowed to respond to emergencies on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. on the orders of Chief of Department Timothy Nacewicz. Instead, volunteers must drive their cars to fire district headquarters at 2264 Jericho Turnpike in the southern part of the district to respond to the emergency call from there. The former chief of department, Augie Carnevale, complained about the reduced emergency response last Thursday at a meeting of the Garden City Park Water and Fire District Board of Commissioners, describing Station 2 as inactive. A full room of about 20 residents bombarded the commissioners with questions and expressed concerns for their safety.”What if my house burned down?” resident

grade crossings at Covert Avenue and New Hyde Park Road. In Mineola, the Mineola Harrison Parking Structure between Harrison Avenue and 1st Street is being replaced with a new fivelevel, 551-space parking garage ahead of other enhancement to the Mineola LIRR station and the future elimination of the Main Street and Willis Avenue grade crossings. Construction of the structure is expected to last at least two years. In Carle Place," the reconstruction of the western half of the westbound platform has started after the relocation of the southern utility poles was completed and the western halves of the eastbound and westbound platforms were demolished. The reconstruction of the eastbound platform will begin in May. The relocation of the northern utility poles and the demolition of the eastern half of the eastbound

platform"start in April. In July, the pedestrian bridge will be demolished and the reconstruction of the eastern half of the platforms will begin, according to the Metropolitan" Transportation" Authority. In September 2018, Gov. Andrew Cuomo broke ground at the Urban Avenue grate crossing in Westbury, the first of seven street-level grade crossings that will be eliminated and replaced with overpasses. The project will include six station renovations, bridge modifications and new parking facilities. The project is expected to be completed by late 2022. The third track will run for 9.8 miles from Floral Park to Hicksville and is expected to improve mass transit and" reduce traﬃc congestion. But before improvements are seen, residents should expect major disruptions. Continued on Page 87

Nina Bitsko asked. The board defended Nacewitz, who was not present at the meeting, saying a lack of manpower forced him to make changes. The board said fire operations are a personnel matter and the public does not need to be notified of such changes. Some residents said they had learned about the local firehouse’s limited response from neighbors. About 70 people in the Garden City Park Water and Fire District are volunteer firefighters who can respond to a number of diﬀerent emergencies from electrical fires to heart attacks. That is down from 120 five years ago. In an email response to questions after the meeting, Nacewitz said the volunteer fire services in Nassau and Suﬀolk counties have been experiencing severe manpower shortages and response delays during daytime hours and said his decision to centralize the response at headquarters was due to a lack of manpower.”Many volunteer fire departments have addressed this concern by consolidating manpower during daytime hours,” Nacewitz wrote. “One such solution, which we have modeled after and adContinued on Page 103

State budget brings big changes 5-year assessment phase-in, permanent tax cap and congestion pricing part of plan BY J E S S I C A PA R K S

State legislators passed a $175.5 billion state budget early Monday morning that brings tax dollars back to Nassau County and even made the April 1 deadline. For Nassau County residents the 201920 budget includes a phase-in of property tax increases resulting from reassessment, a permanent property tax cap set at 2 percent, a plastic bag ban, money to protect Long Island’s drinking water and Long Island Rail Road funding from the implementation of congestion pricing. Jay Jacobs, the state and Nassau County Democratic chairman,! said the six Democratic state senators from Long Island did an outstanding job in standing up for Nassau and Suﬀolk, and brought home tremendous benefits in dollars and programs. The reassessment phase-in will require adoption by the Nassau County Legislature and authorization from Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, who has been a strong advocate for the plan, which would spread reassessment increases over a five-year period. Taxpayers whose assessments increased would see their property taxes go up by 20 percent of their expected total increase each year. A tax credit proposed by the state Senate that would oﬀset reassessment increases for seven years was not included in the approved

State Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) spoke of the budget initiatives that benefit Long Islanders. budget. The 2019-20 budget passed by the Democratic-controlled Legislature also permanently limits the annual growth of property taxes to 2 percent, a measure that has been renewed in the budget each year since 2012. A statement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s

oﬃce estimates that the state’s taxpayers have saved $25 million since the implementation of the tax cap. By March 2020, plastic bags will either be banned or cost 5 cents in Nassau County, similar to neighboring Suﬀolk County and the City of Long Beach, which enacted measures

prior to the statewide ban. Cities and counties can choose whether they will ban single-use plastic bags outright or charge a fee. At a news conference Tuesday, state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said the budget allocates $500 million more for clean water infrastructure and another $300 million to fully fund the environmental protection fund. The state’s largest generators of food waste will be required to begin recycling their food scraps and to donate food to those in need as part of the budget. The approved budget also includes congestion pricing, which will charge a fee for drivers to enter the Central Business District in Manhattan, defined as south of 60th Street. Tolls will be determined by the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority, which will also be tasked with establishing, operating and maintaining the program, with input from a six-member Traﬃc Mobility Review Board. The toll program is to be implemented no sooner than Dec. 31, 2020, and is projected to accrue $15 billion that will be dedicated to fund MTA capital projects.

State Sen. Todd Kaminsky (D-Long Beach) said that Long Island state senators have ensured “that a dedicated revenue stream will go to the Long Island Rail Road in the billions of dollars.” He said that having at least $2.5 billion is Continued on Page 103

Sater accused of money laundering

Lawsuit names former Donald Trump associate and ex-resident of Sands Point BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Felix Sater, a former associate of President Donald Trump and past resident of Sands Point, has been accused in a lawsuit of laundering millions of dollars and channeling funds into Trump real estate projects. Sater’s corporate lawyers, who incorporated or represented a number of the companies involved in the alleged laundering schemes, are based in Port Washington. One of the companies, Syracuse Center LLC, lists 14 Vanderventer Avenue, Suite 255 in Port Washington as its principal place of business, according to the lawsuit. The suit, filed by BTA Bank and the city of Almaty, Kazakhstan, in federal court in Manhattan, contends that Sater, who is described as “a notorious New York ‘businessman’ and two-time felon,” participated in an international criminal conspiracy to launder and conceal at least $440 million that was stolen from BTA Bank, once the largest financial institution in Kazakhstan, and the city of Almaty in the former Soviet republic. Sater allegedly helped Mukhtar Ablyazov, the former chairman of BTA Bank, and Ilyas Khrapunov, the son of former Almaty Mayor Viktor Khrapunov, funnel stolen funds into the United States, the suit

punov purportedly then sought the help of Sater to move the funds into U.S. real estate developments, which Sater claimed to have expertise in. The suit alleges that Sater tried to stash some of the money overseas, directing funds into Moscow real estate development, and claims he stole at least $40 million of the money he laundered in the United States “for his own personal benefit and the benefit of his associate, Daniel Ridloﬀ.” Ridloﬀ, who is also named as a defendant, is a former Trump Organization executive. The lawsuit also claims Sater conspired with Khrapunov “to invest the stolen funds to develop a Trump Tower project in Russia,” which seems to be the same Trump Tower proposal in Moscow at the COURTESY OF YOUTUBE center of the investigation into Michael D.

the suit through which Khrapunov and Sater allegedly moved stolen funds out of FBME bank, an international commercial bank barred from the U.S. financial system, and “into investments that could be monetized or used for other co-conspirators’ purposes.” In one of the schemes, the suit suggests Sater conspired with Khrapunov to launder stolen funds by transferring money from an FBME account to the personal bank account of Khrapunov’s sister. The sister’s account was then used to purchase three units in Trump SoHo, a project Sater developed along with Bayrock LLC. As one of the partners of Bayrock LLC, it is expected that Sater was entitled to a portion of the funds. Sater told Newsweek that he was not involved in Khrapunov’s purchase of the Trump Tower condos and that he had already left Bayrock prior to the completion of the purchase. Sater and Khrapunov met regularly in Sater’s Trump Tower oﬃce, according to the lawsuit, which goes on to say that Sater arranged for Khrapunov to meet with Trump, a prominent businessman at the time, to “discuss possible investments.” The lawsuit indicates it is not suggesting Trump knew anything about the money’s origins.

County clears up refunds to 12,000 Pays $150M to resolve money due following tax challenges dating back a decade: Curran BY T E R I W EST

Nassau County has paid $150 million worth of tax refunds to nearly 12,000 property owners, including people who have been waiting more than a decade for such reimbursement, County Executive Laura Curran announced last week. The combination of $100 million borrowed and $50 million in government funds settles tax certiorari liabilities Curran’s administration inherited from its predecessor, Edward Mangano’s administration. “The prior administration never had a plan to address this mounting debt accumulating from the broken assessment system – only a plan to ignore it,” Curran said in a statement. “This is money the county has owed to thousands of residents and businesses that our county’s economy depends on, including our cherished Main Street momand-pop shops, for far too long.” Tax certiorari proceedings in New York allow property owners to challenge their tax

to borrow to pay these refunds,” he said. The County Legislature unanimously passed a resolution to borrow $100 million in December. “After many years these people are finally getting paid,” Terrana said. Of the $150 million, $123 million is for about 5,807 commercial property owners while $27 million is for homeowners, according to Curran’s oﬃce. The $100 million borrowed comes from the capital markets. The other $50 million is a combination of $30 million from the county’s general fund and $20 million from the Disputed Assessment Fund.

County financial disclosures go online

Curran, Singas announce platform for Nassau employees in effort to fight corruption BY J E S S I C A PA R K S Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, along with Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas, unveiled the latest measure in her fight to end corruption last Friday: an online platform for county employees to file electronic financial disclosures forms. The database will be made available to the Nassau County Board of Ethics and the county’s inspector general, but will not be made viewable to the public or any other county oﬃcial. Members of the county’s Board of Ethics are appointed by the county executive and the inspector general is chosen by the county Legislature. Curran emphasized that in the past these forms were submitted on paper which hindered their anti-corruption purpose. She said the prior method made it “too easy for vital information about ethical conflicts to be slid into a box, then hidden away in a basement.” Joye Brown, a columnist with Newsday, asked: “What’s the dif-

disclosure platform was a step that was very important to the Board of Ethics. “They adopted this and they will have access to it,” she said. The county’s financial disclo-

sure process was highlighted by Singas in a 2015 report that said the paper-based system did not “allow for the eﬃcient, electronic cross-referencing between public oﬃcials’ disclosed relationships

and potential county contractors.” At the news conference, Singas said her oﬃce found that the paper forms were inconsistently completed, often in illegible handwriting, filed with the board and never reviewed. She said at the state level financial disclosures have been electronically collected since 1998. “Nassau has caught up 21 years later,” Singas said. Some 700 county employees who have been designated as policymakers, about 10 percent of all of the county’s employees, will be required to file an electronic disclosure statement through the platform by May 15, according to John Chiara, the deputy county executive for compliance. For an employee to be considered a policymaker, he or she must be in a position to make or influence policy for the county. The digital form includes questions on investments, trusts, other income, gifts and third-party reimbursements that a county policymaker has received over the past year.

Ambrosino pleads guilty to tax evasion Hempstead councilman resigns from Town Board, faces five years in prison BY T E R I W EST

PHOTO BY NOAH MANSKAR

Edward Ambrosino, photographed in 2015.

Town of Hempstead Councilman Edward Ambrosino pleaded guilty to tax evasion in federal court Wednesday, an occasion Town Supervisor Laura Gillen called a “sad day for the Town of Hempstead.” Ambrosino also resigned from the Town Board Wednesday. He had been a councilman since 2003. Ambrosino, an attorney, opened a bank account under the name of a company for which he was the sole shareholder and used it to divert more than $800,000 in legal fees from his clients. He also evaded income taxes and filed false corporate tax returns. “I now call on the Town Council to do the right thing and break from their past practices of appointing a successor to the seat,” Gillen said in a statement. “The only way to properly restore integrity to this Town and to this Council district is by letting the voters decide who should represent them, not Republican Party bosses.” Ambrosino, 54, faces up to five

years in prison. The North Valley Stream resident will pay $700,000 in restitution to the law firm he worked for and $254,628 to the IRS for taxes owed from 2011 to 2014. Among the clients whose legal fees he fraudulently diverted were the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency and the Nassau County Local Economic Assistance Corporation, according to officials. To file false corporate tax returns, Ambrosino again used the company for which he was the sole shareholder: Vanderbilt Consulting Group Inc. “Just like the people who put him in office, Ambrosino owed it to his fellow citizens to pay his fair share of taxes,” U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue said in a news release." “This Office and our law enforcement partners are committed to holding accountable public officials who violate the law.” As a lawyer, Ambrosino specialized in financing and development, according to officials. The firm he worked for is based in Uniondale.

E.W. ed board makes small cuts to budget BY S H E L BY TA L C O T T The East Williston Board of Education’s proposed 2019-20 budget has decreased slightly!from a little over $61.7 million to $61,689,714. At a meeting on Monday night, the board also said that the proposed increase in the tax levy would not be as high as previously expected. It now sits at 2.49 percent rather than 2.74 percent. The board noted that this is just above the peer group average and well under the allowable tax levy cap. The 2.49 percent tax levy rise is now just under Roslyn (2.50 percent), but higher than the 2.30 percent average for Nassau County school districts. The budget decreases are due to staﬀ changes, such as retirements and program changes, that the board was previously unaware of. Program changes include technology costs while personnel changes include the moving of employees within the business oﬃce coupled with two retirements. Additionally, the state approved its budget on time, which has resulted in the school district receiving an additional $29,931. Budget priorities remained largely the same since the last meeting, with the board continuing to address the second year of its five-year strategic plan.! Board members outlined four focus areas and discussed changes in each one. The focus areas began with STEM, which will look to continue the installation of flat panel screens, among other things. The second focus area is facilities and security, where board members are hoping to add a full-time social worker

at North Side and add modified bowling and modified winter track. Social and emotional learning is the third focus area, and one big point in this section would be to expand the AP capstone project. The final focus area is real world learning. The district would like to add a full-time ENL teacher and build classroom libraries. The full curriculum for the new proposed budget can be found on the district website. “If the first budget gets voted down, the board can go for a re-vote with adjustments, a re-vote of the same budget, or go right to a contingency,” Danielle Gately, assistant superintendent for instruction and personnel, said. “A contingency budget can only raise the same amount of money from taxes that we did in the previous year. It would result in us having to find $2 million in budget to cut.” In addition to the budget, the public will have a few other propositions to vote on. The first is on spending $1 million on tennis court renovations from the 2015 reserve, while the second asks to spend $3.9 million from athletic reserves for Wheatley Field renovations, drainage work at North Side and a few other projects. These costs will be taken out of an already funded reserve, so there are no additional costs to taxpayers. The third proposition is permission to establish a capital reserve of $6.5 million to be funded over the next seven years. This will go toward replacements and renovations at all three schools, such as door replacements and parking lot repaving. Voters will cast ballots on the budget and the propositions on Tuesday, May 21.

Calls for tolerance at a NHP mosque BY J OH N N U G E N T Religious and civic leaders came together at the Hillside Islamic Center in New Hyde Park last Thursday to express their solidarity in response to the recent mass shootings at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, and a synagogue in Pittsburgh. Following traditional sunset prayers by members of the Muslim community, Shaykh Ibad Wali, executive director and resident scholar of the Hillside Islamic Center, introduced leaders from several faiths and public oﬃcials who each gave a message of hope and unity to an audience of more than a hundred people. Wali welcomed everyone by saying, “I can’t express the joy that I feel in having you all here today.” He underlined the religious theme of the evening by saying, “Let us come together because we believe in God. The common ground is that we believe in God.” Clergy representing diﬀerent faiths gathered in the aftermath of the March 15 massacre in Christchurch, where 50 people died and 50 were injured in attacks at two mosques.# A 28-year-old man identified as a white supremacist has been charged. “Alone I speak, but together we celebrate,” Mufti Farhan Mughal, director of the Islamic Center of Long Island, added as he spoke of the responsibility of all people to support each other. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was on hand and said, “We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community. We are united against hate and violence.” She added that county law enforcement is on alert for signs of potential harm or violence directed toward any particular groups of people. “We have your back,” Curran told the congregation. Many members of the Jewish faith came to show that they stand together with their Muslim brothers and sisters as they both reflected on the latest mass shootings. A gunman killed 11 people and

wounded seven others Oct. 27 in a shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh.# It was the deadliest attack on the nation’s Jewish community.# The accused shooter has pleaded not guilty. Rabbi Meir Feldman of Temple Beth-El in Great Neck called for a spirit of unity between the Jewish and Muslim communities, saying, “Let’s continue to build always, not just in times of tragedy.” “Out of their misery came words of love and healing,” said Rabbi Todd Chizner of Temple Judea in Manhasset. From the Lake Success Jewish Center, Rabbi Michael Klayman cited the virtues of love, respect, dignity and tolerance. “Together we work to repair humanity” he said. Interviewed after the event concluded, Klayman said, “I hope we can stand together not only in times of crisis but also in good times.” Rabbi Randy Sheinberg of Temple Tikvah in New Hyde Park asked everyone to look closely at someone in the room and then posed the question, “What have you seen?” She answered it by saying “the image of God.” Her message was that all of us were created as a reflection of God regardless of race or color. “Hate has no race — love doesn’t either,” she said. Representing the Sikh community at the Guru Gobind Singh Sikh Center in Plainview, Haraman Singh delivered a message of peace. He asked for a spirit of harmony among all people and spoke of the word fear as an acronym for “False Evidence of Anything Real.” The Rev. Patrick Duggan, senior pastor of the Congregational Church of South Hempstead, brought words of togetherness from the Christian community. “The spirit of the Lord is in this place,” Duggan said. “We come together to celebrate our oneness and our love.” “We are rallying against hate and bigotry. Not in our town, not in our county” were the thoughts of North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “We need to stand together as a family against hate and prejudice.”

High schoolers enter shark tank Pitch app ideas in county comptroller’s annual competition dressed for success BY T E R I W EST

A group of high school students in blazers and ties huddled in a hallway of SUNY Old Westbury’s Campus Center last Friday afternoon, quietly practicing for their final presentation of the day. They were preparing to pitch their idea for an app to a panel of judges in front of a room of other students and the county comptroller. As they practiced, it was clear their pitch was becoming routine. When introducing the name of their product, all six voices said it in unison.! The East Meadow students were one of 18 teams from 12 schools that competed in the Nassau County comptroller’s annual high school entrepreneurial challenge. Some had been working on their projects for months, others only weeks. They all, however, tackled a civic challenge. “We have huge issues to solve as a region and as a nation, and we need our students to be able to think critically and address those challenges,” Comptroller Jack Schnirman said. “This is a fun

sonal college adviser, the students contended. After returning to the auditorium and pitching their app to the judges, they were peppered with questions to which they quickly fired off responses. “What’s your initial investment for this?” asked judge Jacob Dixon, the CEO of the Rooseveltbased nonprofit Choice for All. “Where are you guys getting your money from?” “We’re getting a $50,000 donation from the Gates Foundation in our first year to counteract the $13,000 loss, and those $50,000 would go to developing the app and other technological stuff,” the team’s chief financial officer PHOTO BY TERI WEST responded.

OUR VIEWS

L.I. faces threat to drinking water

s your water safe for drinking? Or bathing? Or washing your dishes? That was the question we sought to answer for Long Island residents with a panel of experts at a recent community forum on the subject hosted by these papers and the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock in Manhasset. The answer was more than a little concerning. The panelists offered different answers on who should oversee Long Island’s water supply but were all in agreement on current health threats, the lack of help expected from the federal government and Long Island’s unique vulnerability to those health threats. That vulnerability is based on Long Island’s sole reliance for water on aquifers under the ground, which over many decades have come under assault from the activities of a growing population on top of the ground. These include toxic chemicals, nitrogen released by fertilizers and leaking septic tanks, spills of gasoline and chemicals and commercial manufacturing, often dating back to the Second World War when Long Island was home to companies supporting the war effort such as Grumman and Unisys. The byproduct of those efforts during World War II is found in toxic plumes emanating from beneath Bethpage and Lake Success. The Bethpage plume stretches for four miles. The Lake Success plume is monitored and, when needed, treated by Lockheed Martin; the Bethpage plume by Grumman. Long Island also leads the nation with 250 Superfund sites – land that has been contaminated

by hazardous waste and identified by the EPA as a candidate for cleanup because it poses a risk to human health and/or the environment. In case you haven’t noticed, the environment is not a big priority of the Trump administration and little if any money is on the way from the federal government to help. But the biggest threat to consumers is 1,4-dioxane — a chemical that the state does not even regulate yet. The chemical, which is designated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a likely carcinogen associated with liver and kidney damage, is not removed through conventional treatment methods. This has created a newfound uncertainty about the safety of Long Island’s drinking water. Panelist Sarah Meyland, director of Water Resources at New York Institute of Technology, said she could no longer easily answer the question of whether Long Island’s drinking water was safe since “we are finding chemicals that are not as yet regulated, so there are no standards for them.” The 1,4-dioxane, Meyland said, was part of a new class of toxic chemicals that until now have not been tested. “Now we’re finding them – all over the United States, not just Long Island,” Meyland added. To make matters worse, exposure to 1,4-dioxane is not limited to drinking water. The chemical is found in industrial solvents and in trace amounts in cosmetics, shampoos and other home care products. A report released last week found trace amounts in 65 house-

hold products, including baby products, shampoos, detergents and body washes. Environmentalists and health advocates said the state should implement a new standard for 1,4-dioxane as quickly as possible to protect the public. One problem is the price tag. The Long Island Water Conference estimated the cost of treatment systems for 185 drinking water wells known to be contaminated by 1,4-dioxane at $840 million, which could lead to a spike in water rates. New York state in December set aside $200 million for emerging contaminants like 1,4-dioxane and a pair of similar chemicals. State Sen. James Gaughran (D-Huntington), who had been chairman of the Suﬀolk water authority until this year, was quoted by Newsday as saying the state’s investment was a “down payment” on future costs but money was needed beginning this year. “The costs are so astronomical.” Gaughran said. “This is a total

game-changer for the industry.” Other problems in combating the new chemicals include a lack of agreement on how to treat the chemicals and how soon. Meyland urged New York state to be more aggressive in dealing with chemicals, an area in which she said the state lags behind other states, and identifying future threats and their source. She also called for the creation of a groundwater management agency for Long Island as exists elsewhere in the state and the country where surface water resources such as lakes and rivers are under regional management and costs are shared. Meyland said the management agency should have enforcement authority, oversight on the way permits are given and the say on how water is allowed to be taken. The other two panelists at the community forum, Dorian Dale, director of sustainability for Suﬀolk County, and Paul Granger, superintendent of the Port Washington Water District and chairman of

the Legislative Committee of the Long Island Water Conference, disagreed. They said such oversight could be handled by the state Department of Environmental Conservation and groups such as the Long Island Water Conference. In either case, more must be done to address Long Island’s water by Nassau County representatives in the state Senate and Assembly, who should be more forceful advocates for help. Those needs are not merely limited to toxic contaminants. A plan by New York City to reopen wells in Jamaica that are part of Long Island’s aquifer could lower water levels in Nassau to a point that saltwater could contaminate our fresh water supplies – as has already occurred. So something has to be done. For an island – which at the moment has no other source for the water we drink and use to wash our dishes and cook – this is literally a matter of life and death.

KREMER’S CORNER

GOP reminds us of ‘Dumb and Dumber’

llow me to test your memory. Which party won the 2018 elections and installed 41 new members into the House of Representatives? Which party campaigned on the issue of saving your healthcare? Which party has made climate change a serious national issue? The answer is obvious. The Democrats control the House for the next two years thanks to their willingness to fight for issues that resonate with the voting public. We assumed that after taking the worst electoral beating since the 1970s, the Republican Party would figure out that the nation wants solutions, not empty rhetoric. Instead, thanks to their fearless leader, President Donald Trump, we are about to relive the 2018 elections all over again. It’s hard to imagine narrowminded elected oﬃcials like Vice President Mike Pence urging the president to stay away from en-

dorsing a complete repeal of the Aﬀordable Care Act (also known as Obamacare). Pence may be a rigid right-wing true believer, but he can spot a bad political issue when it looms on the horizon. It was only four months ago when his party took a brutal beating. That experience didn’t stop the president from starting the healthcare debate all over again. Everyone agrees that America is polarized on a large variety of issues. But every poll shows that no less than 65 percent of Americans want to keep their right to coverage for pre-existing conditions and need to go to sleep knowing that they will have access to a doctor and a hospital in times of illness. So, let’s presume that the president gets his way and Obamacare is dead in the water. What are the consequences? To start with, 21 million people who either buy health insurance through the marketplace

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

or receive some form of Medicaid coverage will lose it all. On top of that, figure another 12 million low-income adults who have Medicaid will be the losers. The Aﬀordable Care Act currently provides $874 million in assistance for people with addiction to opioids. What was once an unknown disease is

now a plague throughout the country, destroying lives in rural, urban and suburban communities. How many people currently have coverage for preexisting conditions? The best estimate is that 133 Americans, half of the people under 65, would be disqualified from buying health insurance. The second topic that will haunt the Republican Party in 2020 and was another major issue in 2018 is climate change. The president can enlist as many so-called scientists as he can find on Fox News to debunk climate change, but it will not stop the avalanche of climate tragedies on almost a daily basis. I don ‘t believe that natural disasters only hurt one political party, but it is ironic that the red states like Iowa, Nebraska, Florida and Texas are taking a brutal beating from Mother Nature. Not everyone in America is immersed in the issues surrounding climate change, but

with each passing day more and more people are asking why are we having so many violent tornados, spectacular flooding, wild fluctuations in temperatures and disaster after disaster? Republican members of the House and Senate can poke fun at climate change and even throw snowballs on the Senate floor, but their constituents are dying and that isn’t a laughing matter. The release of the Mueller report has captured the attention of political insiders and the media. But without a guaranty of healthcare coverage for all Americans and a debate in the halls of Congress about the causes of climate change, the road ahead will be rockier and rockier. Today’s Republican party reminds me of the movie “Dumb and Dumber.” But it’s up to the Democrats to show how much smarter they are by leading the battle for a better country and winning it.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

At sign of restless fork, happy spoon

ork and Spoon were having a bet over which of them was more important. “Admit it!” said Spoon. “People need me more, and you know it! Just try to imagine a table setting without me!” “I don’t have to imagine,” said Fork. “It was just a few hours ago, at lunch. The restaurant table was all set, with a napkin, a knife, and me. No spoon in sight.” “Ah — but tell me, what happened next?” asked Spoon. “Then, Judy and her husband ate lunch.” “You know what I mean. What did she order?” “Um, a bowl of soup.” “And before she could have the soup, what had to happen? What did the waiter bring over, to this perfectly well-set table of yours?” “Um, a spoon,” Fork muttered, almost inaudibly. “I can’t hear you — what did you say?” “A spoon! A spoon! Verily, a spoon! Are you happy now?” “I’m getting there.” Spoon

smiled. “It’s about time you recognized my versatility! I am needed for all kinds of things — from making stew, to stirring the pasta sauce, to dishing out mashed potatoes! I mean, spooning them out. And Judy’s husband needs me all the time, too, for making pancake batter!” “Well, you’re not the only one. He prefers to use me when he scrambles eggs,” said Fork. “Perhaps — but only because he can’t find a spoon!” “Plus, don’t forget, they need me for splitting English muﬃns,” added Fork. “Yes, but even you have to admit, that’s a weird one. Who uses a fork to split anything?” “That’s the English for you,” said Spoon. “It’s not even a real muﬃn!” They both chuckled. “I know how to prove my importance,” said Spoon. “Check any set of silverware. They always have twice as many spoons as forks!” “Which proves what, exactly?” “It proves that people need

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side me twice as much as they need you. Think about it; even without a soup course, people usually want a spoon to help them eat things like rice, or peas —” “Oh, get a grip. A fork is all you need.” “That’s my point — with just a fork, it’s hard to! Those peas roll around…” “Yes, well…” “And then you need another spoon, with the coﬀee. Or tea. Because with any kind of milk, or sugar, you need to stir it. So the world will always need spoons! And that’s why

there’s so many more of me.” Spoon sat back and smiled. “Or you could look at it this way: if there’s twice as many spoons as forks, then I, a simple fork, am worth two of you!” “No, no no! That can’t be right. Because no matter how many clean pieces of silverware they start out with, every dishwasher cycle, which one of us do they always run out of, first? Spoons? Or forks? “Oh, well — it’s spoons,” says Fork, grudgingly. “But that’s only because Judy is so wasteful, she uses a new spoon for every cup of coﬀee she makes, all day!” “She doesn’t really,” says Spoon. “You’ve been listening to her husband, I see. But he exaggerates. Now hush! Company’s coming.” It was the first barbecue of the season. The men grabbed tongs and giant forks and went outside to grill the meat, while the women stayed in the kitchen. “What are you serving first?” asked one of the women.

“I thought finger foods,” said Judy. Fork and Spoon exchanged a look — this was not going to settle their bet. “And how about I toss the salad?” said another friend. She grabbed big fork and big spoon, together. This was even worse — they would have to cooperate! “And what have you got for dessert?” “Oh, coﬀee, tea, and icecream cake!” Spoon shot a look at Fork. “And guess what I thought we’d use, to eat it with?” said Judy. “Look at what my husband found at the flea market!” She brought out a box of utensils. “What are those?” “They’re sporks! Half spoon, half fork — for eating both cake and ice cream! And they’ll do for stirring the coffee, as well.” “This is getting too weird,” Spoon shrugged, and shook hands with Fork. “Let’s call it a tie.” Fork agreed. Just one question: who’s going to break it to Knife?

Respecting environment, traveling

viation shrinks the world, but at a great cost to environmental health. Air travel accounts for 13 percent of global transportation carbon dioxide emissions, and is predicted to quadruple by 2050. Knowing this, how does an aspiring environmentalist justify getting on an airplane in the first place? Having just returned from a trip to Central America, I’m suffering from air travel guilt and researching ways to give back. An estimate by the Carbon Fund (www.carbonfund.org) states that an average American contributes 50,000 pounds to the global carbon footprint. This site offers an online calculator to estimate the environmental cost of your travel with suggestions on how to make tax-deductible donation to offset your emissions. This seems a bit too good to be true, and it is. But until better global structures for sustainable travel are in place, carbon offsetting is better than not doing anything to remediate. The Carbon Fund suggests supporting clean energy and

carbon reduction projects, for instance, energy efficient cooking stoves and capturing methane gas in landfills. Planting trees is the most cost-effective solution to capture carbon worldwide, I donate monthly to TreeSisters: Women Seeding Change. With a monthly contribution of $26 dollars, 67 trees are planted in the rainforest. A mature tropical tree consumes 50 pounds of carbon dioxide per year and releases enough oxygen to supply your needs for a couple of years. Unless you’re traveling by foot, your commute adds to your carbon footprint. Regarding travel, there is no one-size-fits-all. Non-stop travel is better than taking connecting flights, take off is the most exhausting to environmental health. The same rule of thumb applies to longer car rides, you’re better off driving without frequent stops, the “cold start” of vehicles causes the most harmful emissions. In pedestrian-friendly neighborhoods, walking or biking short distances is always your best bet. A walk can also have the added

HILDUR PALSDOTTIR Earth Matters

benefit of clearing your head and strengthening your heart. When not within walking distance, commuting by public transport (buses, trains, subways) is helpful. If traveling by car, remember that the more passengers you can fit in the car the lower your personal carbon footprint. That is why carpooling is cool. When my family planned our travel we opted for the most sustainable way we could think of. Eco-tourism isn’t just about the impact we’re having on the

environment, but also about our impact on local communities. Sustainable travels include three categories: ecological (conserving the natural environment), economic (supporting local businesses in developing countries), and social responsibility (education, community service). We stayed at an environmentally conscious surf club in the “wild east” of El Salvador. The drive from San Salvador airport was unsettling with long stretches of roadside litter marking the absence of sound waste management practices. I learned that in the country there is no garbage collection and locals burn their trash directly, releasing toxic waste in the process. The surf club we stayed at was in stark contrast to their immediate surroundings. Refusing the use of single-use plastics on site the resort oﬀered purified water in dedicated bottle refill stations. Air-conditioning units and lights worked only with room key card in dock. They offered locally sourced food and surf lessons from local instructors

who we paid directly. We especially appreciated the encouragement prior to travel to bring school supplies for a local elementary school. The school we visited is supported by ongoing eﬀorts and a strong relationship to this resort, creating a sense of sustainable connections and the promise of continuing education for kids in a setting where dropout rates are otherwise high. I strongly believe education is the first step towards creating sustainable and resilient communities. To summarize, here’s how to travel responsibly: Fly less. Restrict your travels by air, choose the purpose of your trip carefully (research eco-tourism). Skip the in-flight meal. Fly coach. Business class seats take up more space and contribute greater emission per person than coach. Oﬀset your carbon cost. Think of creative ways to give back to carbon sequestration projects. Plant trees. Here are some web-based Continued on Page 80

ALL THINGS POLITICAL

Deficit spending, loss of SALT deduction

el Brooks, the legendary comedian famously said, “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.” Simply put, when it happens to me it’s tragedy, when it happens to you, it’s comedy. This logic also applies to many Americans’ views on changes to the tax code, and deficit spending. Most citizens think, “As long as it doesn’t impact me, I’m okay with it.” Unfortunately, whether you realize it, or not, these issues will negatively affect you. The first imminent issue and many Long Islanders aren’t fully aware of its negative impact, is the change in tax code. The loss of the state and local tax deduction (SALT) will negatively affect a large chunk of residents. The ability to deduct state income, real estate and sales taxes above $10,000 from your federal tax burden is now officially gone. If you didn’t know this already prepare yourself, because this financial hit will become a reality the moment you file your tax re-

turns by April 15. In step with Mel Brooks’ quote, now that this is affecting me directly, it’s not a comedy anymore; it’s a tragedy. The Trump tax breaks, that included the SALT tax, were supposed to supercharge the economy and pay for themselves through increased economic activity. In reality, GDP, which, according to our President, was going to jump to up to 5 percent after his tax cuts, is limping along closer to 2 percent. Instead of an economic boom filled with newly created tax revenue, the Federal government is running a trillion-dollar deficit. The second issue to negatively impact you, the deficit, which compounds the national debt, will strike at a later date. A major reason for increasing deficits is the diminished ability of the federal government to collect taxes. According to a December 2018 article in Salon.com, “The IRS conducted 675,000 fewer audits in 2017 than it did seven years earlier. Because of the repeated cuts, the IRS has drastically stopped pursuing ‘nonfilers’ who do not submit their tax returns.

ADAM HABER All Things Political The number of investigations into nonfilers fell from 2.4 million in 2011 to 362,000 in 2017.” The bottom line: if you don’t collect taxes, and taxpayers know they won’t get audited, you end up with an ever-increasing deficit. This government behavior is what caused Greece to implode, just a few years ago. A multitude of news outlets report that only 84 percent of money owed in taxes is collected yearly.

As a result, the price tag of tax cheats comes in north of $400 billion annually. Next time someone brags to you that they own a cash business, while you pay your taxes, please recognize the subtext. It’s code for, “You’re a sucker for paying your taxes, because I don’t.” Public figures, smug with selfrighteousness, are some of the worst tax cheats. Michael Avenatti, the well-spoken attorney who represented Stormy Daniels against President Trump, hasn’t filed a tax return since 2010. Martha Stewart cheated on her taxes, along with former New York Giant Lawrence Taylor. There is a long list of New York state politicians, including some from Long Island, who claimed to be fighting for the people, but were, instead, stealing from them through tax evasion. Our national debt is $22 trillion, and growing, and every Democratic presidential candidate is advocating for funding everything from universal healthcare, to a $1,000 a month income for every resident over 18 years old, by raising taxes.

Yet no candidate has mentioned cracking down on tax cheats, as a way to fund their initiatives. Using higher tax rates to subsidize any of these proposals, without a high functioning IRS, will most certainly lead to higher tax cheating. If America needs $1 trillion in infrastructure spending, and Social Security, Medicare and disability will run out of money within the next generation, then how will the federal government ever balance their budget if they can’t collect the tax revenue they’re owed? Anyone who relies on the federal government for assistance, especially the elderly, should be concerned. When bad news doesn’t affect us, we dismiss it as someone else’s problem. Most Long Islanders haven’t fully digested the loss of the SALT deduction, and skyrocketing deficits are still considered other people’s problems. Loss of the SALT deduction and the federal deficit will negatively impact us sooner than later, leaving all Long Islanders falling into a tragic financial open sewer.

Complete Streets strategy for VGN

reat Neck village residents have made clear what they don’t want from “revitalized” incentive rezoning (code for allowing higher density), forcing the village board to withdraw the legislation. Now they will have the opportunity to say how they want to revitalize their village, at a town hall on April 8, 7:30 pm, at Great Neck House. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, who has advocated for Complete Streets and Revitalized Downtowns and put the county’s support behind local eﬀorts, is expected to attend. The village approached the process from the wrong end. If the problem that the village wants to solve is filling the empty commercial spaces (a problem that is actually everywhere, even in Great Neck Plaza which already has introduced higher-density and Transit-Oriented Development; Manhasset; New York City and all across Main Street America), the solution needs to start with a Complete Streets strategy. That is, instead of oﬀering incentive zoning to build bigger

(which the village already has, apparently no takers? Or developers have been put on hold? It was never made clear) the Middle Neck Road corridor should be more walkable, bikeable, aesthetically pleasing so that people will want to spend their time there and merchants will have customers. It is so ironic, given the vigorous opposition and condemnation of the VHB “generic draft environmental impact study” and recommendations that were based, apparently, on 2013 traﬃc levels and other pie-in-the-sky projections, that last year and this, VHB was the presenter of the Complete Streets strategy at Vision Long Island’s conference. Some 100 people were there, including representatives of Manhasset, Huntington, Baldwin, Babylon, Valley Stream, Hempstead, Ronkonkoma, Freeport, Farmingdale, the Town of North Hempstead, even the Shinnecock Indians, but as in years past, no one from the Village of Great Neck. They would have heard of seven case studies of projects to revitalize downtowns and make

KAREN RUBIN View Point

communities safer, more liveable, stimulating economic development and quality of life from places like Lynbrook, Baldwin (Grand Avenue), Seacliﬀ, Lindenhurst, Long Beach, Atlantic Beach, Suﬀolk County. They would have met the state Department of Transportation Region 10 head who hands out millions of dollars in grants to improve streets (go to the website, www. dot.ny.gov, to learn of Complete Streets and Transportation Alternatives Program grant programs);

would have learned how Nassau County is working with localities to improve their downtowns; would have met the AARP regional director who is happy to send a team of volunteers to do a free “walkability” audit and make suggestions. The common theme: engage all the stakeholders early on and throughout. Have a mission, goals, collect data, involve stakeholders (again) in the design. Frank Weffering, of the consultancy Greenman Pederson Inc., gave background on the village of Lindenhurst’s “Walkability Study” for a project to achieve downtown revitalization, economic development, connectivity, accessibility, sense of community (placemaking), attractiveness, safety, public health. “There were lots of vacant stores, every fifth or sixth store vacant until recently,” he said. “It’s very important is to get the community on board, get public buyin, get the opinions, feedback, let people know how we proceed.” They conducted six Lindenwalks with different groups of stakeholders, taking different routes, differ-

ent times of day, even a night walk. Had the village of Great Neck come to the conference, they would have learned about the communities that won the $10 million state Downtown Revitalization grant through the Long Island Regional Economic Council — and if they really had an interest why their proposal lost (and when I heard the summary, no wonder), they could have read through the winning projects from Westbury, Hicksville, and Central Islip which each won the $10 million. They would realize how a goal to make the village more liveable, walkable, and promote alternative transportation to the Long Island Railroad would more likely win that funding. They would have learned of the essential need for outreach and community engagement, and methods to bring all the stakeholders into the process (an interactive website that invites comments; software that projects how a recommendation would look like once implemented, even animated).

KIDS F IRST

Child marriage: Widespread, dangerous

id you know that 650 million women and girls alive today were married as children and 12 million girls under 18 are married each year? Globally, around 21 percent of young women were married before their 18th birthday, according to UNICEF. UNICEF — now called The United Nations Children’s Fund but originally known as the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund — was founded in 1946. It was created to oﬀer emergency food and health care to children and mothers in countries that had been devastated by World War II. I was awakened to this issue while attending the 36th Social Work Day at the United Nations on April 1, 2019. The theme for the day was “Strengthening Human Relationships: Policies and Programs to Protect Children.” I must confess that I am typi-

cally focused on what is happening closer to home, but the information presented by a panel of UN diplomats, policy oﬃcers and child protection specialists, as well as front-line social workers, was eye-opening. In addition to child marriage, the international group of experts focused on a number of other disturbing statistics such as the astounding number of children that are forced into labor from as early as five years old. Worldwide, 218 million# children#between 5 and 17 years are employed and 73 million work in hazardous conditions Although the presentations were all compelling, I was particularly interested in how the issue of child marriage manifests itself in the U.S. The facts are that, although child marriage happens mostly in sub-Saharan Africa, more than 200,000 minors (mostly girls) were married in the United

ANDREW MALEKOFF Kids First

States between 2000 and 2015, and not only in rural areas as is widely believed. The minimum legal age that young people are permitted to marry in most states in our country is 18, although in six states that age is as low as 14 or 15. But there are a number of “loopholes,” reported social worker Bushra Husain from NYC-based Sanctuary for Fami-

lies. For example, if one of the parties is pregnant or if the minor has given birth to a child, then in 47 states, marriage is permitted for children under 18. Child marriage#is a violation of human rights that remains widespread despite laws against it. It can forestall their education and lead to a lifetime of suﬀering including high rates of domestic violence and the deaths of young adolescent girls due to more complications in pregnancy and childbirth than for women in their 20s. Furthermore, their children are more likely to be stillborn or die in the first month of life. The good news is that there is a movement toward change. In 2018, New Jersey and Delaware became the first states to outlaw marriage for anyone less than 18 years of age, with no loopholes. UNICEF reports that strong bills to end child marriage are

currently pending in 11 state legislatures. To learn more about this, go to the link for this special 2018 report by Sarah Ferguson entitled: “What you need to know about child marriage in the U.S.” https://www.unicefusa.org/stories/what-you-needknow-about-child-marriageus/35059 H.E. Georgi Panayotov, an ambassador to the UN from Bulgaria, tied the day together with a caution by Nelson Mandela: “History will judge us on the difference we make in the everyday lives of children.” Andrew Malekoﬀ is the Executive Director of North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center, which provides comprehensive mental health services for children from birth through 24 and their families.

Underbelly of VGN’ revitalization plan

he gathering/soiree at Pedram Bral’s home on Sunday, March 17, has become news. The photographs were posted on the Village of Great Neck website, though probably they should not be there given the presence of non-resident developers and the absence of residents. Also pictured are Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, Supervisor of the Town of North Hempstead Judi Bosworth, and the mayors of other Great Neck villages. Residents who have seen the photographs say this is Mayor Bral’s announcement he is running for re-election in June, with the implication he will have help from the people he invited to his home. The mayor wants to hitch a ride. The mayor’s plan to re-zone (termed “revitalization”) has covered his image in mud and he is trying to clean it by using, to begin with, the county executive. At the board of trustees meeting at village hall two nights after the house party, the mayor kept mentioning her: “When I met with her, Laura Curran said…, when we talked about traﬃc lights, Laura Curran said…, Laura Curran said a traﬃc study by the county is in progress…, Laura Curran will be at our town hall [event] on April 8…” At that village meeting, something else happened that was rather awful. Members of our Great Neck Old Village Civic Association followed the threads of property ownerships in the Middle Neck

Road “corridor” the mayor wants to rezone. This research became a narrative accompanied by full-color charts and graphs. We planned to put this 12-page packet into the record of the hearing. We arrived early at village hall to prepare for handing out the packets to the residents so they could follow our presentation. We set up on the countertop in the foyer, separating stapled sections into groups. We had 100 sets and expected a crowd. I gave a set to the stenographer and told her a group of us residents would be presenting different sections of it. She accepted my offer to e-mail her the text as well, and she said the visuals would be treated as exhibits. The assistant village clerk came out to the foyer and stood reading the document, and then she scooped up a set. I told her, “These are for the residents and you should leave it.” She ignored me and answered, as she hurried away, “I just want to take a look at it.” I put down what I was holding and looked for my bag before I could follow her. By the time I rounded the corner, she had passed her own office and was at the far end of the hallway at the office of the village clerk. When I arrived there, the trustees each had a section of our document open and were reading. I must have looked pretty grim because when I put out my hand, one trustee handed the document back to me. I returned to the foyer where fellow residents were still sorting. I told them, with indignation, what had just happened. A few

minutes later the assistant clerk hurried by while tossing oﬀ a verbal jab: Never mind, she said, she had taken the set I had given to the stenographer. I headed around the corner and down the hall. The clerk’s door was closed. I opened it and said something about their outrageous behavior and put out my hand. No trustee handed it over, not Mendelson, Sobel or Hope. The agenda for the meeting of that night, February 19, 2019, reads, in part: “Public Hearing. Continuation of Public Hearing for proposed legislation in connection with proposed Local Law #3 in relation to amending the Village Zoning Code.” But the public hearing did not continue. The mayor announced he was closing the hearing and would take no comments, and each trustee responded in turn, “I agree with the mayor, I agree with the mayor…” They did not so much vote. They lined up. They had seen our document on property ownership in the “corridor” the mayor wants to re-zone, and they knew they were preventing it from being placed in the record of the hearing. That evening we had intended to put these documents into the record: 12 pages of research showing the underbelly of the “corridor” and re-zoning plan. A letter by an expert in hydrogeology discussing the peninsula’s fragile water supply. Two documents containing a decision by our village zoning board in 2004 establishing a durable covenant on one of the prop-

erties in the “corridor.” A table showing the federal census population of Great Neck, 1960 to 2010 with a commentary explaining it. Excerpts from the Nassau County Planning Commission oﬃcial disapproval of the application for a recreation center on Steamboat Road. The adverse impacts NCPC cites would apply to the re-zoning of Middle Neck Road as well. Mayor Bral ended the hearing and the “corridor” plan for Middle Neck Road, but only sort of. The board did not abandon the Environmental Impact Statement. They intend to transform the Draft (DGEIS) into a Final (FGEIS), the attorney explained. This would prevent any more input from the community on any incarnation of re-zoning. On the record, I requested that any new EIS not be Final. Last year, the mayor formed what he called a Citizens Advisory Committee. He handpicked seven people, two of whom do not live in our village and are developers. He said it was a mayor’s committee for him to consult with. He also said, when asked at a public meeting, that residents could not sit in at the committee meetings and listen. So it was a secret committee on the public’s business. This became a repeated violation of the Open Meetings Law of New York State. The research on the ownership of the properties in the “corridor” confirms the mayor’s rewrite of the zoning code suits the owners who have methodically purchased clusters of properties.

While most of the “corridor” will be unaﬀected by re-zoning, a few invisible clusters will reap a huge benefit and could not be developed without the re-zoning. We believe this is spot zoning camouflaged, and it is illegal. By way of example, the assisted living 100-bed unit proposal for the intersection of two major transportation arteries of the peninsula, Middle Neck Road and Hicks Lane, is described in these words by the consulting firm: “Application for building permit has been submitted but is on hold pending zoning amendments.” We had a conversation — a group of us residents — and the parallel seems to be if you attempt a murder and fail, you are still guilty of attempted murder. Spot zoning has not been achieved, but it was still spot zoning. When the mayor inserted “Assisted Living” into the proposed new zoning as a developer’s right, it did not even specify which level of assisted living. As a village, we have opposed the legislation promulgated by the mayor and his trustees that would deplete the fresh water from our wells, make Middle Neck Road a canyon of tall buildings, bring our public schools too many students to handle, and leave all of us sitting in traﬃc jams no tranquil suburb should have to endure.

Spring tips to protect environment

ith the arrival of spring and Earth Day in a few weeks, the Reach Out America Green Committee, a grassroots local political action organization, would like to remind residents to be kind to the earth. There are many doable steps that we can all take to help our community and planet. Recently, there have been major concerns about our drinking water, quantity and quality. We must be adamant about the necessity to be vigilant and proactive in achieving sustainability of our drinking water. The average household in Nassau County uses approximately 130 gallons of water a day. In summer that

can jump up to 500 gallons a day due to excess watering of our lawns. Conservation must be the first step. Here are some simple choices that are very doable. Take shorter showers Don’t run the water the entire time you brush your teeth or wash your dishes Lawn care is the biggest offender in many ways. Since the aquifers are underground, anything that is put on your grass will eventually end up seeping into them. Use low nitrogen fertilizers Water your lawn longer but less frequently Do not water while the sun

is shining. Stop using poisonous pesticides. These noxious chemicals also threaten the safety of our air, food and drinking water. ROUNDUP and 2, 4-D are the worst pesticide/herbicide oﬀenders. France has banned them and California awarded money to a groundskeeper with terminal cancer because he had not been adequately informed about its alleged health risks. There are safer, natural alternatives. Pesticides also aﬀect the delicate balance of our ecosystem. Bee colonies have collapsed and the butterfly population has declined by 90 percent, bringing

them dangerously close to extinction. Plant milkweed in your gardens to help feed and protect the monarchs. No one likes weeds on his/ her lawn, but consider trying safer and natural alternatives. For more practical tips, a wonderful website is from the Port Washington based organization, Grassroots Environmental Education. They have been training landscapers on how to be organic for years. www.grassrootsinfo.org. We are at a crucial point in our existence on the planet. We can no longer use the fastest and easiest methods anymore. We have to protect the beauty and

health of our planet while we still can. We are losing natural habitats and wildlife essential to the health of our planet at an extraordinarily fast pace. Without clean air, food and water we could face the same fate. We cannot aﬀord to squander this magnificent gift. The window of opportunity is still open to make these vital changes to provide for a healthy present and for future generations.

JCC raises $1.4M at annual gala

‘Eat. Bid. Laugh!’ fundraising event features comedian John Mulaney at country club BY T E R I W EST Hundreds of people from Long Island and the tristate area descended on the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center last week for its 24th annual “Eat. Bid. Laugh!” auction and epicurean event, which featured samples from local restaurants and a performance by comedian John Mulaney. The JCC raised more than $1.4 million through the event last Thursday, which will support its programming, scholarship fund and incubator fund for new social service programs. The annual gala included food tastings and bidding for everything from concert tickets to a backstage tour of “Hamilton.” Mulaney, a former writer for “Saturday Night Live” who has since delved into stand-up comedy specials and Broadway, was the evening’s guest comedian. Among the 27 restaurants that offered samples this year were One North, a Jericho eatery that serves Mediterranean fare, and Garden City’s Toccolo Cantina. Cipollini

Awards in Los Angeles and an Ariana Grande show. “Our! Auction Committee works tirelessly to put together this beautiful event, and the gen-

erosity of our community never ceases to amaze me,” said Tracy Levy, the event’s chair. “The money raised tonight helps the JCC and its social service programs to

take tremendous steps forward. More than 600 attendees have come together tonight with a common goal in mind, to provide hope and joy to program participants.” The JCC has an ongoing capital campaign that is intended to upgrade its facilities and introduce new programs. This weekend it will oﬃcially open its new food bank, which will support communities on the North Shore and provide internship opportunities for young people with developmental disabilities in the JCC’s vocational training program. Auction chairs like Brooke and Lloyd Rosenman as well as committee members and volunteers spend all year planning “Eat. Bid. Laugh!” “Working on such an impactful night, from concept to reality, is just as rewarding for us as Auction Co-Chairs, as it is for attendees and the social service program participants who benefit from the funds raised,” the Rosenmans said in a statement. “It’s a testament to the boundless generosity of our community.”

Focus on dignity, equality On March 18, Herricks High School hosted an event that focused on real-world struggles for inequality.! The opportunity, which featured a panel of three guest speakers, was created by senior Pranjal Jain as part of her Girl Scout Gold Award project and increased students’ awareness of what inequality looks like outside of Herricks and Long Island. The presenters were Congresswoman Debra Mulé (D-Freeport), SAFE Center Education Coordinator Elizabeth Osowiecki and Columbia University student and reproductive justice activist Deja Foxx. They all shared their experiences and details about the work they have done, then went on to answer questions submitted by the Herricks students. Congresswoman Mulé oﬀered a legal and workplace perspective on the inequalities people face, while Ms. Osowiecki shared her input as a leader who educates

high school students about maintaining healthy relationships and advocating for themselves. Ms. Foxx discussed the ways in which she promotes equal access and opportunity for sexual education for everyone. The panel also included Harvard University sophomore Nadya Okamoto, who provided remarks via video regarding her eﬀorts to destigmatize menstruation. The recent forum was part of the Dignity Series – a set of events

run by students, for students, with a focus on acceptance, unity and solidarity. The series is the newest installation of the Herricks Helping Hands platform, which Pranjal initiated three years ago upon beginning her Gold Award project. She now serves on the HHH board, alongside classmates Jaden Wong, Aveena Desai and Emily Tucker, to provide students with opportunities to advocate about social justice issues and bring awareness to the greater school community.

Herricks a ‘best’ place Students honored for for music education kindness, compassion The Herricks Public Schools have continued a long-running success streak in being named a Best Community for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation. This annual designation, now in its 20th year, is awarded to districts that demonstrate outstanding achievement in eﬀorts to provide music access and education to all students. “On behalf of the music department, I am so proud of receiving this distinguished honor once again this year,” said Director of Music and Performing Arts Anissa Arnold. “It is thanks to the support of our community and administration and the dedication of our students and teachers. Bravo!” The Best Communities for Music Education Award and the implementation of

the federal Every Student Succeeds Act bring attention to the importance of keeping music education part of the school’s core education for all students. It also highlights music’s vital role in students’ overall success in school. The Herricks Public Schools provide a comprehensive music and performing arts program with totals of nine bands, nine orchestras and 12 choirs. Almost 80 percent of the district’s eligible student population is involved in musical performance. At the high school level, the musical experience is broadened through classes in theory, composition, music history and theatre. Students also pursue their talents through extracurricular musicals and dramas, jazz bands, chamber orchestras, wind ensembles and show choir. The Music and Performing Arts Department has a strong history of success, which includes several GRAMMY Foundation school awards and New York State School Music Association distinctions. Herricks students earn acceptance to prestigious, competitive performance ensembles on an annual basis and many continue to fine-tune their skills through participation in summer courses. Most recently, the high school and middle school Tri-M chapters both received 2018 Chapter of the Year honors from the National Association for Music Education.

The Herricks Public Schools’ Special Education Parent Teachers Association (SEPTA) held its annual awards night for students who advocate for peers with special needs. On March 25, the district came together to acknowledge them for going above and beyond in their efforts to make a positive, lasting impact. Members of the Herricks staff introduced each award recipient and described his/her efforts and positive influences in the lives of special needs students. Searingtown School teachers Matina Bozac, Jessica Henry and Trish Fruda

announced Avery Aulicino, Rider Kantanas, Ben Hakim and Joey Grillo. Center Street School’s Janine Gentile, Laura Leicht and Karen Pugni introduced Ali Abdelsadek, Catherine Mongello and Alexander Helgeson and Denton Avenue School teachers Rosemarie LaMarca and Julie Gordon-Hert commended Daniel Geevarghese and Jacob Shuster. “As someone once said, ‘no act of kindness no matter how small is ever wasted’,” said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Fino Celano. He shared a quote by Maya Angelou that encompassed the event’s purpose: “People will

forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” The audience applauded each student that was honored, praising them for helping others and serving as role models. Attendees enjoyed refreshments following the award presentation. At the middle school level, teachers Jackie Lipsky and Tova Umlauf announced Rachel Chao, Jacob Chen, Anjali Johal, Jessica Aponte and Gianna Daloia. Special acknowledgments were also given to Herricks High School student Justin Janoson, who was introduced by Susan Saban. Coordinated by SEPTA oﬃcers, the evening was attended by administrators, faculty and other staﬀ members, parents and students who came out to celebrate the honorees who have demonstrated qualities of kindness, compassion and leadership.

Feinstein doctors’ Birnbaum recognizes Norooz work recognized Feinstein Institute for Medical Research scientists Drs. Betty Diamond!and Renee Pekmezaris have earned Innovator of the Year awards for their respective medical innovations in the fields of lupus research and telehealth options geared towards the Spanish-speaking patient population.! Presented by Innovate Long Island, a news organization covering the regional established and emerging technology markets, The Innovator of the Year Awards look to recognize a cross-section of aspiring young inventors, successful startups and big thinkers. This year’s awards are presented to innovators in several categories – technology, clean energy, health science/ medical devices, invention and craft food and beverage. The award ceremony also recognized anesthesiology resident Dr. Jonathan Preminger, who as a third-year student at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell, invented the ultraviolet-powered SteriLocker, a patented garment sterilizer for hospitals using UV technology. Diamond, Pekmezaris and Preminger were acknowledged alongside 25 awardees at a ceremony on March 26 at the Crest Hollow Country Club.! Diamond was recognized in the health science/medical devices category for her research on the long-term auto-

immune disease lupus, a condition in which the immune system attacks healthy tissue. In 2018, Diamond authored a number of studies and has relentlessly pursued breakthroughs to combat this condition throughout her longtime career as a physician-researcher and renowned expert on autoimmune diseases.! In recognition of her eﬀorts to improve telehealth for Spanish-speaking patients, which allows for patient care to take place remotely, Pekmezaris was awarded for her research that seeks to improve chronic disease management by leveraging the use of technology. Since 2005, when Pekmezaris joined Northwell Health as vice president for community health and health services research, she has partnered with community organizations to gain a better understanding of how healthcare aﬀects Long Island’s diverse communities. “Dr. Diamond is a recognized world leader in lupus research, and Dr. Pekmezaris continues to break new ground in telehealth medicine for Spanish speaking patients. Both are outstanding representatives of the Feinstein Institute’s mission of pursuing knowledge to cure disease,” said Dr. Kevin J. Tracey, president and CEO of the Feinstein Institute. “We are honored to have their work recognized by Innovate Long Island.”

Annual Chinese Association gala North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Council Members Dina De Giorgio and Veronica Lurvey recently attended the Chinese American Association of North Hempstead’s 22nd annual fundraising gala at the Swan Club. The Chinese American Association of North Hempstead was formed in 1997 and has grown

to incorporate over 200 families from the North Hempstead and Long Island area. Their goal is to promote

Chinese culture and traditions to the community and represent the interest and concerns of Chinese residents

Nassau County Legislator Ellen W. Birnbaum (D – Great Neck) welcomed guests to the county’s second annual observance of Norooz – the Persian New Year – in the Legislative Chamber on Tuesday, March 19. Norooz, which translates to “new day,” is an ancient Zoroastrian holiday celebrated by Iranians of all faiths during the Spring Equinox and is symbolic of the end and renewal.! Birnbaum became the first legislator on Long Island to recognize Norooz when she inaugurated the practice last year. “It is so important, especially in this climate when we hear too often about hatred and divisiveness in communities, to celebrate together and embrace our cultural diﬀerences,” Birnbaum said. “It is wonderful for us to recognize this holiday which symbolizes renewal and growth. We all move forward and learn from one another. We grow as individuals and we grow as a community.

The Persian community in Nassau County has been growing in numbers and in strength.” The annual gathering was especially profound because it occurred shortly after the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Revolution – an uprising which led Iranians of all faiths to seek refuge and freedom in America. “My grandparents and parents arrived as new immigrants at the time, and I am proud to be a first-generation Iranian American,” said Josephine Mairzadeh, legislative aide to Birnbaum. “Today, we regard this period in our community’s history as a crossroad, now left behind us, with one very important lesson: When one day finishes, a new day begins.” The program included a performance featuring vocalists Ghazal Mizrahi and Sherry Sharifian; pianist Oswaldo Machado; and Dr. Avraham Dilmanian on the Santur, as well as the recitation of poems highlighting Iranian culture and history. Rebecca Sassouni, the president of the Sephardic Heritage Alliance Inc. described the symbolic meaning of each item on the haft-sin ceremonial table, a focal point of Norooz observances. In addition, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Nassau County Police Department Commissioner Patrick Ryder were among the evening’s featured speakers. Birnbaum’s Norooz observance was presented with support from SHAI; the Iranian Mothers Association; the United Mashadi Jewish Community of America; and the Ester Chapter of Hadassah.

L.I. Alzheimer’s luncheon The North Hempstead Country Club, in Port Washington, will host the Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation’s Annual Women’s Luncheon and Fashion Show on Friday, April 12. Proceeds from the luncheon will be used to fund Long Island Alzheimer’s Foundation, or LIAF, programs and services that improve the quality of life of the organization’s participants, who suﬀer from Alzheimer’s disease and related forms of dementia, and their caregivers. Jeannie Doherty-Benckwit, registered nurse of AgeWell New York is this year’s honoree. AgeWell New York provides health insurance coverage to older adults, including those with complex medical conditions requiring long-term care. “Our annual fundraiser is a celebration of women caregivers including our staﬀ, volunteers and donors, all of whom help us provide outstanding services and programs that make an impact, as we say, one family and one community at a time,” says Tori Cohen, executive director of LIAF. Doherty-Benckwit, of Massapequa Park, exemplifies excellence in her work, leading a caring team of advisors who help our participants and their families navigate the complexities of Medicare and Medicaid coverage to gain access to critical programs and services. A health care advocate and educator, DohertyBenckwit’s purview includes managed care, long term care services, home care, Medicare and Medicaid, and community health programs. Unique among organizations that work with people with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, LIAF’s programs address every stage of the disease, contributing to a higher quality of life over the course of the disease through art, music, exercise and social interaction. LIAF’s innovative programs are developed through research and

BLANK SLATE MEDIA April 5, 2019

BY G R AC E MCQUADE Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Anna Quindlen has written 20 books that have spanned the genres of fiction, non-fiction and children’s books, and covered topics that have ranged from life and love, to parenthood and perfectionism, to work and women’s rights. Her warm and witty perspectives on marriage, motherhood and middle age in bestsellers, including “A Short Guide to a Happy Life” and “Lots of Candles, Plenty of Cake,” have resonated with countless readers, and her semi-autobiographical novel, “One True Thing,” was adapted into a major motion picture starring Meryl Streep and Renee Zellweger. Quindlen now delves into another subject near and dear to many hearts in “Nanaville: Adventures in Grandparenting” (Random House; April 23). She will kick off the book’s launch with a Long Island LitFest event on Monday, April 22, 7:30 p.m., at Port Washington’s Landmark on Main Street, where she will be in conversation with fellow bestselling author Judy Blundell. Quindlen took some time to answer a few questions for us in advance of her appearance, namely what inspired her new book. “I keep thinking I should give an intelligent and thoughtful answer to this question, discuss how there are more grandparents in America today than at any time in our history and how the entire terrain has changed,” Quindlen said. “That’s true, and it’s worth exploring, but it’s not why I wrote the book. I had a grandson. It was aces. I knew a lot of other women felt the same.” While Quindlen’s book focuses on her first-time grandparenting experiences, as of its publication, she is now a grandmother of two, 3-year-old Arthur and 2-month-old Ivy, giving her further insights into what is different about being a nana, a designation that happens to be an anagram of her first name. “Someone told me that grandparenting is what is called a mediated relationship,” Quindlen said. “In other words, you have to go through someone else to get to it. One of the ways in which being a nana is different from being a mother is that Arthur and Ivy’s parents are the ones who are actually in charge. I play by their rules, but boy, do I play.” The times have also changed. Quindlen went on to say that there’s “a big difference from my own grandparents’ day, which was more of the seenand-not-heard era. There wasn’t a whole lot of playing with us. The grown-ups sat in the living room and drank Manhattans and talked. The kids went out back and chased each other around.” These days, children now have the center seats at the table, so to speak, and grandparents are involved more than ever when there are two working parents, which led Quindlen to create a

Latest Anna Quindlen book takes on grandparenting special zone called “Nanaville,” the title of her book. “Originally, it was the Nanaville Correctional Institution, and Arthur was inmate 000000001,” Quindlen admitted. “That was when he was handed oﬀ and carried away by me and I tried to get him to sleep at night. I was the warden. But very quickly Nanaville simply became where Arthur and I hung out together. Now it’s a state of mind, when I am full Nana.” For someone who has made writing books her life’s work, this shared universe of course includes story time. “Bedtime has as much to do with my work as a mother as with my work as a writer,” Quindlen said. “A lot of the books Arthur has read to him are books I read to my kids. Some of them are the actual handed-down copies. ‘Babar.’ ‘Frog and Toad.’ Iterations of Dr. Seuss and Maurice Sendak.” Grandparenting has led the prolific author to discover the wonders in even more children’s books. “‘Llama Llama’ wasn’t on the scene when my kids were small,” she said. “Arthur has a book called ‘You Were the First,’ which is about a first child who has a sibling. I was afraid he was going to think Nana was a little crazy because I got halfway through it and started to cry, per-

haps in part because I’m a first child. But Arthur’s father said he lost it, too, when he read it, and that made me feel better.” Arthur’s father is Quindlen’s son Quin. In her book, she shares a poignant moment when she asks Quin what surprised him most about being a parent for the first time. “He could have talked about how overwhelming it was, how little sleep he was getting, the inexorability of the responsibility,” Quindlen said. “Instead, he talked about the depth of love he felt. That’s what you hope will happen.” “One of the best parts of being a nana for me has been watching my son be such an excellent parent and partner,” she added. “His wife just told me that she is moving in with me for 24 hours next week because Quin wants to see how handling two on his own feels.” Quindlen predicted it would be “wild and crazy.” “He’s full-on father,” she said, “and I find it absolutely thrilling. There are few moments in your life as a mother when you think, yes, I did a good job. This is one of them.” As for advice for other first-time grandparents, Quindlen said that an exchange with a friend remains clear and the basis for many of the “lessons learned” in her book.

“The light bulb moment in this book is clearly when my friend Susan poses the question, ‘Did they ask you?’ I think all grandparents should keep that top of mind,” she said. “If your grandchildren’s parents ask for your advice or insight, offer it in a non-judgmental fashion. If they don’t, keep your mouth shut. And, by the way, how did all of us, who were so at sixes and sevens raising our own kids, suddenly become authorities on everything from bedtime to breastfeeding? It’s one of life’s great mysteries.” It is Quindlen’s everywoman experiences and understanding of the mutual roles and unwritten rules in relationships that have endeared her to so many readers over the years. “I actually think my ace in the hole as a writer has been that I’m not a bit unique,” she said. “I’m really typical in most ways that count. It’s pretty commonplace for some nice women to come up to me at an event and say, ‘I feel as though you are writing about my life.’ I’m confident that a lot of women will see themselves in this book.” For tickets to Quindlen’s upcoming event, go to www.landmarkonmainstreet.com. All seats are $35 and include a copy of “Nanaville,” provided by the Dolphin Bookshop.

Ellington’s Sacred ‘Schindler’s List,’ as Concerts, worship a tool for educators On Sunday, April 14 at 11 a.m., the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock will bring to life Duke Ellington’s Sacred Concerts in the context of a worship service. At the age of 66, Ellington composed a series of concerts planned in major churches all over the U.S. He was inspired by the fact that his dear friend and collaborator, Billy Strayhorn, was very ill.

Strayhorn died shortly after the first performance of the First Sacred Concert, of which there were three. Improvisatory in nature, and adapted to the resources available at each location, no complete score of the three Sacred Concerts exists. In 1993, after an international conference on the Sacred Concerts, two composers, Peder Pedersen and John Hoybye, recreated a scored version which draws selections from each of the three Sacred Concerts. It is this version which will be performed on April 14. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation’s expanded choir of 60 singers will be joined by a professional, big band of 17 instrumentalists and vocal soloists Lilyan Strassman, Meagan Brus, Leah Wood, Joshua Sanders and Brace Negron, under the direction of Unitarian Universalist music director, Stephen Michael Smith. The public is invited. A free-will offering to support music scholarships for Nassau County high school music students will be taken. There is adequate free parking, and the facility is fully handicapped accessible. More information on the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, the concert, and driving directions is available at www.uucsr.org.

RED JOAN

BOW TIE SQUIRE CINEMAS 115 MIDDLE NECK ROAD, GREAT NECK

Joan Stanley (Judi Dench) is a widow living out a quiet retirement in the suburbs when, shockingly, the British Secret Service places her under arrest. The charge: providing classified scientific information - including details on the building of the atomic bomb to the Soviet government for decades. As she is interrogated, Joan relives the dramatic events that shaped her life and beliefs: her student days at Cambridge, where she excelled at physics while challenging deep-seated sexism; her tumultuous love affair with a dashing political radical (Tom Hughes); and the devastation of World War II, which inspired her to risk everything in pursuit of peace. Based on a sensational true story, Red Joan vividly brings to life the conflicts - between patriotism and idealism, love and duty, courage and betrayal - of a woman who spent a lifetime being underestimated while quietly changing the course of history. STARRING: Judi Dench, Sophie Cookson, Stephen Campbell Moore, Tom Hughes, Ben Miles, Tereza Sbrova

How can we apply the lessons of the film “Schindler’s List” toward standing up to hatred in our own communities? How do you engage students in conversations around racism, antisemitism, and other forms of hatred? To commemorate the 25th anniversary of “Schindler’s List,” Universal Pictures re-released the film for a limited theatrical engagement. Using this film in a classroom

is an opportunity to help students raise questions about racism, anti-Semitism and other forms of exclusion in today’s political climate. In the workshop, educators will explore a “facing history” approach with film to develop students’ literacy, historical analysis, and critical thinking skills and help students to foster empathy and perspective taking.! This workshop will also explore the historical context of “Schindler’s List,”

with a staﬀ-led tour of the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center’s stateof-the-art museum and interaction with rare artifacts related to!the film. The workshop is $25 to attend, payable via check to the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center on the day of the workshop.! RSVP to facinghistory.org/newyork/ events.

THE REAL THING What's Fake News, What Isn’t, and How You Can Tell

Howard Schneider is the Founding Dean of the Stony Brook School of Journalism where he developed the nation’s first course in News Literacy, a discipline dedicated to teaching news consumers to become more discerning; he also collaborated with the actor Alan Alda to launch what is now the school’s Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science which trains scientists to speak effectively to the public. Before his career in academia he was a journalist at Newsday for 35 years. He ultimately became its editor; during his tenure the newspaper won eight Pulitzer Prizes. Schneider’s lifetime experience, prescient views and constructive work in the accurate transmission and comprehension of the truth couldn’t be a more apt subject for discussion right here, right now.

Let’s face it. Nobody wants to rip off their roof or open exterior walls on their house in the dead of winter. Even though we’ve enjoyed a mild winter, it’s just not the time most people pick for major home improvements. Now that you’ve spent the better part of the last four months indoors, you probably have some ideas about how you could improve or expand your living space. To gain more space inside your home, many homeowners add an extension to their home. The most popular is an addition in the back of the house to enlarge the kitchen and/or create a new family room. When you’re adding a room, you need to consider whether it will be a “three-season room,” which is not insulated or heated, or a room for full yearround use, which requires more time, expertise, labor and materials for appropriate heating, energy efficiency, and electricity to meet the family’s needs. The investment in a full-functioning year-round addition typically pays off tremendously in use and enjoyment of the room, plus added resale value. If you’re thinking of expanding upward, which doesn’t change the footprint of the home, you will benefit from dormers. A dormer is the addition of height and windows by bumping up through the roof; this yields added space and sunlight. Dormers increase curb appeal and make a home more architecturally interesting while expanding living space. Your contractor can assess whether this is a viable project for your home, which will depend upon what type of roof is currently in place. When you build up, you don’t lose

any yard space, and you escape the issues of zoning restrictions about setbacks, or allowable proximity of your structure to your property line. However, many towns limit the allowable height for houses, so be sure your contractor has experience working with the Building Department in your municipality. Basement renovations are another great way to expand and improve your living space: convert an area that is outdated or cluttered into a family room, playroom, media room, office, gym, hobby den or art studio. Basement renovations do not change the home’s footprint, eat up yard space, or increase the height of your home. Your contractor will still need to seek permits for things like electric and plumbing work. Decks are another spring project homeowners get excited about. Figure out the size, shape and materials to be used, as well as functional and aesthetic factors such as railings and stairs, builtin seating, optional planters, outdoor sound systems and lighting and more. A licensed contractor can assist you with all of the decisions that need to be made. Many discerning homeowners also opt for an outdoor balcony created off the master bedroom suite. With classic French doors from the boudoir, a master terrace can add natural light to this important part of your home, as well as a private retreat for morning coffee or late night star gazing. Whatever direction you go in to add more space, ensure your home is structurally sound and compliant with all local building codes.

Wood flooring can change a home We all want our homes to give off a mood of comfort, relaxation, and coziness. There are several ways to help you achieve this goal through your choice of materials, furnishings, and decor for your home. A large part of that is flooring. It is often the most dominant aspect of a room. If you are looking to promote a comfortable space, you must plan carefully to select the right flooring, and wood is the perfect option. Wood has a natural beauty and makes a true connection of being outdoors with Mother Earth. It has timeless value. Wood flooring can last hundreds of years and adapt to all décor. Any wood flooring can increase the value of your home. Homes with wood floors sell faster and for as much as 10 percent more. Wood can be refinished and restored, which is a less lifetime cost over all other flooring products. Additionally, wood flooring is hypoallergenic. It does

not harbor microorganisms or pesticides that can be tracked in from outdoors. Wood minimizes dust, mold and animal dander accumulation, allowing for better indoor air quality. Easy to maintain with a dust vacuum or light mop,

this type of flooring helps with allergies. Homeowners are choosing flooring for the variety of style options. There are so many colors, finishes and species. No two species are alike. It all depends upon the age,

history and location of where the tree grew. Remember, each tree has its own personality and own characteristics, like knots, streaks and worm holes, which define the look. In addition to giving your home a beautiful look, wood

does wonders for the environment. Trees are a renewable resource. Their annual new growth exceeds the annual removed. When managed responsibly, for every cubic foot of trees that are cut down, an average of 1.66 cubic feet are planted back, ensuring that the rate of harvest is always less than the average growth rate. This type of flooring can also reduce global warming. They are carbon neutral, meaning that trees take in carbon dioxide and produce oxygen. Wood, of course, is biodegradable. At the end of its service life, wood floors can be used to burn for fuel or be recycled. There are so many reasons to choose wood flooring. When maintained properly, you will fall in love with your wood flooring over and over again. Anne Marie Garofalo Allen, Anthony’s World of Floors www.anthonysworldoﬄoors.com

The benefits of freestanding tubs

ew home design elements provide the instant wow factor of freestanding tubs. Freestanding tubs have an air of luxury that can help current homeowners relax, and impress buyers when homes go on the market. Freestanding tubs are typically made of cast iron or porcelain. The home improvement website HomeAdvisor notes that cast iron is durable and solid and retains heat well, which is great for those who want to spend more than a little time relaxing in a freestanding tub. However, because cast iron is so heavy, installing a cast iron tub may require structural reinforcement of the flooring, which will add to the overall cost of the project. According to HomeAdvisor, the average cost to install a tub varies widely depending on the type of tub, the materials its made of and other factors, including plumbing and piping. For example, the cost to install a freestanding tub will rise considerably if new plumbing and piping are necessary. Before purchasing a freestanding tub, homeowners should seek estimates regarding installation, making sure to get them in writing. Contractors will determine if structural reinforcement is necessary and include such costs in their estimates. In addition, make sure to ask contractors to investigate piping and plumbing so no surprises pop up after the tub has been purchased and

work has begun. If estimates from contractors aren’t budget busting, homeowners can consider these benefits of freestanding tubs before making their final decisions. • Cleaning: Because they’re detached from other bathroom fixtures and not flush against the wall, freestanding tubs tend to be easier to clean than built-in bathtubs. Freestanding tubs are accessible from all sides, making it easy to reach all those nooks and crannies where grime can build up.

• Return on investment: In its 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report, Remodeling magazine noted that upscale bathroom remodels recouped 56.2 percent of their cost at resale. That was a better return on investment than an upscale kitchen remodel (53.5 percent) and an upscale master suite addition (48.3 percent). The thought of a sizable return on investment can make relaxing in a freestanding tub that much more enjoyable. • Warmth: Even freestanding tubs made of materials other than cast iron offer great heat retention. Stone resin bathtubs, for example, provide excellent insulation on cold nights. That’s ideal for people who want to unwind in the tub without having to exit early because the water has become cold. Freestanding tubs can transform regular bathrooms into luxurious oases.

Spring Guide

A BLANK SLATE MEDIA SPECIAL SECTION â€¢ APRIL 5, 2019

42 SPRING GUIDE • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 5, 2019

GOING GREEN

in your lawn and garden this spring pring is a season of rejuvenation. As the cold days of winter drift away, spring blooms begin to sprout and grass regains its lush green

look. Green is certainly a color that’s synonymous with spring. Gardening enthusiasts can find a way to make spring even more green by embracing several eco-friendly gardening practices as they bring their lawns and gardens back to life in the months to come.

CREATE A COMPOST PILE

Composting is an eco-friendly way to enrich lawns and gardens. Composting helps to conserve water because compost promotes moisture retention in soil, reducing homeowners’ need to water their lawns and gardens while also helping them to save money on their

water bills. Composting also helps homeowners avoid the need to use potentially harmful chemical fertilizers because compost is a natural, slow release fertilizer. In addition, according to Canada’s Green Action Centre, compostable materials make up 40 percent of residential waste. So composting can dramatically reduce the amount of waste homeowners ultimately send to landfills.

REPLACE GAS-POWERED MOWERS WITH REEL LAWN MOWERS

Reel mowers may seem like relics from simpler times, but today’s reel mowers, while just as eco-friendly as their predecessors, are unlike those of yesteryear. According to the Planet Natural Research Center, an online resource for organic gardeners, gas-powered engines emit more than 10 times the hydrocarbons per amount of gas burned

than auto engines. But reel mowers are fuel-free and less expensive than gaspowered mowers. Planet Natural also notes that reel mowers snip grass like scissors, leaving finer trimmings that can serve as nourishing, weed-deterring mulch for yards.

WATER AT THE RIGHT TIMES OF DAY

Homeowners who water their lawns and gardens at the right time of day can help the planet and reduce their energy bills. As spring gradually gives way to summer, temperatures typically rise. Watering during the coolest times of the day means less water will be lost to evaporation, ensuring water-needy soil will get all it needs to help lawns and gardens thrive. Early morning watering before the sun reaches its midday peak and/or evening watering as the sun is setting are typically great times to water

lawns and gardens, rather than when temperatures are at their hottest.

USE A RAIN BARREL

Rain barrels provide another great way to conserve water while tending to lawns and gardens. Rain barrels collect and store rain water from roofs and downspouts, keeping water from washing into sewage systems where it can’t be put to good use. Water collected in rain barrels can be used in various ways. Many homeowners can use water from rain barrels to water their lawns, gardens and houseplants, saving money on their water bills along the way. Spring gardening season provides a great opportunity for lawn and garden enthusiasts to embrace a variety of ecofriendly practices that can save them money and protect the planet.

Safety rules to live by

hildren and pets make best friends for life, but keep them both safe with some tips from our trainers Thinking of adding a furry member to your family this year? Thatâ€™s great news, especially if you have kids. The benefits to children of having a pet are vast: increases in self-esteem, nurturing skills, cooperation and, best of all, the creation of an unconditional, loving bond that brings immeasurable joy to your entire family. But before you bring home your dog, cat, puppy or kitten, itâ€™s important that your kids (and you, too!) know some simple rules to guard against injuries such as bites and scratches, which are often caused by children yanking an animalâ€™s tail, chasing or cornering it or approaching it suddenly. First, itâ€™s important to remember that dogs are â€œpack animalsâ€? and live according to a social hierarchy. When a dog enters your home he views you and your family as litter mates and will typically â€˜pick onâ€™ the youngest female member of the family or whoever shows fear. Thatâ€™s why you must establish every person in the family as an authority figure or â€˜pack leaderâ€™ to the dog by simple, everyday interactions. Here are some handy tips to guarantee that your children and your pets will have a safe and happy relationship: â€˘ Never leave a young child unsupervised with an animal. Accidents happen even with the most trustworthy children

and pets. â€˘ Never approach any animal, even your own, when he or she is eating, sleeping, chewing on a toy, in its crate or caring for its young. â€˘ Always pet an animal gently, with no pulling or tugging, and never from behind. â€˘ Donâ€™t make loud noises or sudden moves when approaching an animal. â€˘ Always ask an adult before approaching an animal you donâ€™t know. â€˘ If the adult says the pet is friendly, reach out your hand with the palm facing up and gently move it toward the petâ€™s nose for sniďŹƒng. Do not touch the animalâ€™s eyes, ears, nose, mouth or genitals. â€˘ Avoid contact with a dog or catâ€™s waste, which can transfer disease. Young children are especially tempted to reach into the catâ€™s litter box; it looks like a mini-sandbox! â€˘ Donâ€™t let your child touch a dog or stand near him during times of heightened excitementâ€”for example, while the dog is eating; when someone comes to the door; or when the dog is barking at a squirrel in the yard or at someone through the window. And remember, make sure your children understand that a pet is a living creature to be cared for and respected. Animals have needs and feelings, and they rely on us, their caretakers, for companionship and loving care. Article and photo courtesy of North Shore Animal League America www.animalleague.org

ALLERGIES

Tips on surviving the season

fter a long winter, spring is right around the corner. That means warmer, longer days and....... tree pollen allergy season! Everyone wants to know if it’s going to be a bad year for pollen. Unfortunately, like death and taxes, the onset of pollen is unavoidable. However, don’t despair. There is a lot that you can do even before taking medications. The most important thing is to try to reduce pollen exposure. To do that, you have to “outsmart” the season. Obviously, the smartest choice is to limit outdoor activities primarily during the highest two weeks of the pollen. Think about having small children with bad allergies stay inside for gym and recess at school. If you must go outside, be aware that pollen in the air varies from day to day. You should plan your outdoor activities when the counts are lowest. On an average day, counts rise during the morning, peak around mid-day and then gradually fall. The lowest counts are before dawn and in the early evening. Therefore, if you want to go out for that walk or run, best to get up with the sun or go after work. Weather and environmental factors

are also important. Certainly on the days it rains, the counts are much lower as the rain washes the pollen out of the air. Dry days with strong wind are not

great no matter what, as the pollen gets blown around which is not good for sufferers. If you still want to do an outdoor activ-

ity, make sure to wear a hat and put on sunglasses. The less direct contact your body has with the pollen, the better oﬀ you are. Continued on Page 63

inside by extending materials of contiguous spaces. Bluestone flooring, exposed timbers on ceilings and performance fabrics are just a few examples of materials used to marry spaces in and out. Steel doors and operable glass walls are gaining traction as a way to enjoy views year-round.

TRANSITIONAL DESIGN

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

In recent years, homeowners have begun reducing their visual clutter via careful editing of their homes. A classically designed façade that fits into an established neighborhood may have its ornamentation highly pared down. Internal spaces are more open than segregated, and decoration may be cleaner.

INTEGRATED LIVING:

In a world where we are more device-connected than ever, we find reconnection with nature increasingly important. Outdoor organically connects to the

Enjoying the out of doors is extended after sunset with outdoor lighting; temperatures are stabilized with misting systems and radiant heaters. Consistent wish-list items have been pools, from those large enough for family play to smaller lap pools. Fire pits and usable, flat lawn spaces for play are important. Sound systems and electronics are integrated for television viewing.

HOME OFFICES

Home oﬃces have grown in many new home designs to include flexible work spaces that also serve as an alter-

nate guest bedroom, homework area or library. Technology has allowed homeowners the ability to work full time from your home and still interact with colleagues and professionals in oﬃces.

TECHNOLOGY

“Smart homes” now utilize a computer to control lighting, temperature, security, window treatments, pool temperature—even grocery shopping. With increased demand for energy and water conservation devices, the emerging technologies assist in facilitating these systems in the home. Necessity has provided us with technology that enables the basic residential infrastructure to support the need for total integration, utilizing wireless hand-held devices, such as laptops, smart phones and tablets. With the need for sustainability, energy conservation, audio, security, lighting and window treatment controls,

manufacturers have introduced many aﬀordable and “user-friendly” systems. Technology is growing at such a quick pace that it is important to select systems that are upgradable. The most consistent overall design trend that has emerged over the last ten years that continues across all our disciplines is quality over quantity: Families are opting for smaller homes that feature higher-quality materials. Leaving a smaller carbon footprint is a common conversation. As Harrison Design founder, William H. [Bill] Harrison observes, “We believe that clients indeed can have it all, without taking it all.” Matthew Korn, AIA, is Principal Architect of Harrison Design, a national architecture firm that specializes in high-end residential architecture, interior design, and landscape architecture. www.harrisondesign.com Photo courtesy of Jeﬀ Herr

BY GRACE MCQUADE

As we’ve entered the season associated with rebirth, renewed life and the religious rites of Easter and Passover, Hollywood will deliver a host of films involving miracles and resurrections, omens and magic, the supernatural and the spiritual. The hidden realms between life and death, heaven and earth, and premonition and destiny are the weighty subjects in forthcoming dramas, thrillers, biopics and horror flicks. Throughout film history, there have been stories told on the big screen that have explored the mysteries of the universe, the marvels of humanity, and the dominions where unrest souls lie. Whether these motion pictures

were intended to scare us (“The Shining”), inspire us (“Field of Dreams”), shock us (“The Sixth Sense”), make us laugh (“Heaven Can Wait”) or make us cry (“Ghost”), movies about the wonders of life – and the afterlife – continue to fascinate us. Similarly, the films that will be unveiled this spring include stories about faith and awe that will uplift audiences, as well as depictions of malevolent spirts and exhumed beasts that promise to terrify. So get ready for frightening thrills and breathtaking chills over the coming months, with a forewarning that moviegoers should keep their minds (and their eyes) open as they watch the following films.

ski’s baby and plagued by visions of her imminent death by Manson’s satanic cult in this foretelling version of the true and tragic story.

APRIL “PET SEMATARY” (April 5; horror/ thriller): One of Stephen King’s scariest novels returns to the big screen, this time starring Jason Clarke and John Lithgow, in a story about the Creed family who move to rural Maine near a pet “sematary,” created (and misspelled) by the town’s children to bury the many pets killed on a hightraffic road. When the Creed cat suffers the same fate and is buried in the haunted plot, a wilder version of the feline returns to life. Then, after one of his children is killed, Mr. Creed takes the body to this once ancient burial ground, where it is resurrected into a demonic form. “THE HAUNTING OF SHARON TATE” (April 5; R; drama/horror/thriller): One of the most horrific murders in history is Sharon Tate’s vicious killing at the hands of Charles Manson’s followers. This film takes a look at the last days leading up to the murder from Tate’s point-of-view. The 26-year-old actress, played by Hilary Duff, is pregnant with Roman Polan-

spring film previews

“MARY MAGDALENE” (April 12; R; drama/history/religion): In the year 33 AD, a woman named Mary from Magdala (Rooney Mara) rejects the traditional female roles of wife and mother. Believed to be possessed by her family, she seeks counsel from a preacher and healer who is becoming well-known throughout Judea, Jesus of Nazareth (Joaquin Phoenix). Inspired by his messages of peace and love, she joins Jesus, Peter (Chiwetel Eljiofor) and the other disciples on the revolution that inspired Christianity, culminating in the greatest miracle of all, Jesus’ Resurrection. “BREAKTHROUGH” (April 17; PG; biography/drama): Based on a true story, a 14-year-old boy (Marcel Ruiz) falls through the ice on a Missouri lake and stays underwater for more than 15 minutes. At the hospital, he lays lifeless for more than 60 minutes until his mother (Chrissy Metz) prays to God to save him and her son’s heart miraculously starts to beat again. In just 16 days after his near-fatal accident and being clinically dead for an hour, the boy is completely healed in this film about the power of faith that also stars Josh Lucas and Topher Grace. “THE CURSE OF LA LLORONA” (April 19; R; horror/thriller/supernatural): La Llorona, the weeping woman, is trapped between heaven and hell. In life, she drowned her children. In death, her tears are eternal and those who hear her death call are doomed. In 1970s’ Los Angeles, a mother

good life with his pal until he receives “the call” to help once again and is reincarnated into the life of Ethan’s troubled teenage granddaughter.

MAY “TOLKIEN” (May 10; R; PG-13; biography/drama): The writer J.R.R. Tolkien, portrayed in this film by Nicholas Hoult, is known for creating otherworldly realms in his science fiction that includes “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.” This biopic that also stars Lily Collins takes audiences inside the author’s brilliant imagination and the formative experiences that inspired his passion to write fantastical stories – from his early years as an orphaned youth, to his time at Pembroke College where he developed a “fellowship” with other outcasts, to his service in World War I.

(Linda Cardellini) and her children are drawn into the spell and only a disillusioned priest (Tony Amendola) can keep the evil at bay as this LatinAmerican legend comes eerily back to life. “UNDER THE SILVER LAKE” (April 19; R; comedy/drama/thriller): A disenchanted young man (Andrew Garfield) finds a beautiful woman (Riley Keough) swimming in his Los Angeles apartment’s pool one evening. They spend a memorable night together, but she vanishes the next morning. Is she alive? Is she real? He then embarks on a surreal journey to uncover the mysterious circumstances behind her disappearance, leading him into bizarre underworlds and a “purgatory” party in the “city of angels.”

“A DOG’S JOURNEY” (May 17; drama/family): In “A Dog’s Purpose,” Bailey (voiced by Josh Gad) gets to live a dog’s life over and over again until he finally finds his human soulmate in a boy named Ethan. In this sequel, Ethan (Dennis Quaid) is now a grandfather. Bailey is leading the

“ALADDIN” (May 24; adventure/ comedy/family): A Genie (Will Smith) comes to life to grant three wishes to a street urchin named Aladdin (Mena Massoud), who comes into possession of his magical lamp. Aladdin uses the lamp to turn himself into a Prince to win the heart of the Sultan’s beautiful and headstrong daughter, Princess Jasmine (Naomi Scott). But an evil sorcerer who wishes to unseat the Sultan and rule the land wants the lamp, too. Who will prevail and find love? Find out in this live-action retelling of the 1992 Disney animated film of the same name. “BRIGHTBURN” (May 24; drama/ horror/sci-fi): An infant from another galaxy crash lands on Earth and is taken in by a couple (Elizabeth Banks and David Denman) who are longing to have a baby. While this plot may sound like another version of “Superman,” think again. Instead of growing up to become a superhero devoted to helping mankind, the inhuman child (Jackson Dunn) brings death and destruction to all those around him. “AD ASTRA” (May 24; adventure/ drama/mystery): It has been 20 years since a space engineer (Brad Pitt) lost his father (Tommy Lee Jones), who disappeared on a one-way mission to Neptune to find signs of extraterrestrial life. The slightly autistic son decides to embark on a mission of his own to the outer edges of the solar system to find his father and unravel the mystery of what happened to him in a film whose title means “to the stars.” “ROCKETMAN” (May 31; biography/drama/ musical/fantasy): Stardom is the premise of this epic musical

fantasy that tells the story of rock superstar Elton John, played by Taron Egerton. From his early days as shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight to his meteoric rise to worldwide, chart-topping success with his overthe-top performances of songs like “Bennie and the Jets” and “Crocodile Rock,” John’s story comes to life in colorful, dream-like sequences that befit a biopic about the largerthan-life “rocketman.” “GODZILLA: KING OF THE MONSTERS” (May 31; PG-13; action/ adventure/fantasy): In this sequel to the 2014 “Godzilla” film, the mighty beast Godzilla is unearthed once again – this time to face off against other god-size monsters in a quest to either defend or destroy civilization while under the watchful eye of a cast of characters portrayed by Millie Bobby Brown, Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler, Bradley Whitford and Sally Hawkins.

JUNE “DARK PHOENIX” (June 7; action/ adventure/sci-fi): Spring winds down with the highly-anticipated next saga in the X-Men series, which stars Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and James McAvoy, who return to face off against a powerful new adversary. This threat turns out to be one of their own (Sophie Turner), who is hit by a mysterious cosmic force while on a rescue mission in space, turning her into a Dark Phoenix capable of incredible destruction. Wrestling with this evil force inside her, the X-Men fight to save her soul and the planet from aliens who wish to rule the galaxy

Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home

t’s that time of year again when we suddenly feel the need to organize our homes, but what about using this rejuvenating season to plan for your future so you can have the best quality of life as you age? Now is the perfect time for you to prepare, as opposed to react when a crisis hits. Unexpected events can happen at any time, and it is important that legal, medical and other formal arrangements be made before there’s an emergency. Getting started on a plan, doesn’t mean you need to have all questions answered and decisions made. Prioritizing a blueprint for future expectations can be helpful.

HERE’S A RECOMMENDED CHECKLIST OF IMPORTANT CARE COMPONENTS TO CONSIDER. LONG TERM CARE INSURANCE.

Due to increased longevity, consider insurance options in the event you need to prepare for likely long term care expenses. Long-term care insurance, in all its new forms, covers care generally not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. It also helps lighten the financial, physical and emotional stress on your family later on. Also, review all your insurance policies including life insurance to make sure they are up-to-date with beneficiaries and other notifications.

THE MODERN BOB

GRAND OPENING SPECIAL!

Treatment

There’s a bob for everyone. Whether it’s a blunt fringe bob, short layers lob, dip-dye or a whole new shade of hair, the new Spring season brings with it the perfect opportunity to test out the most coveted hairstyles and hair trends sported by celebrities and streetstyle stars. This season is especially good in taking fun, inventive ideas to the forefront, from playing with multiple textures to new incarnations of just plain old pretty looks. Warm blondes, ruby reds, and icy blue is the way to go. Gem tones add instant warmth to your look, making it the perfect way to transition your fall locks into winter blues. The lob has been wildly popular for years, but 2019’s rendition is a bit diﬀerent. This mid-length style has a lot more layers. It’s a fun, stylish way to take your lob to the next level. Take the plunge with one of this season’s biggest trends: Contour Coloring along with the lob. Contour Coloring highlights certain sections of the hair to extenuate your facial features. It can give more definition to bone structure and enhance a chiseled eﬀect. Then, there’s the pixie cut -- a mod-

ORGANIZING YOUR way to a healthier home

pring and summer are hectic for everyone with longer days and more time outdoors. It’s the perfect opportunity to shift gears and get your home ready for a new season of sports and increased entertaining. Tackling

the whole home may seem overwhelming at first, so start small and work your way towards the larger areas. The easiest place to begin is your entry closet. Take out any jackets you haven’t worn or no longer fit. Winter outerwear should be machine washed or

dry cleaned before being stored for the season. If you have an alternative closet, move the winter jackets there; otherwise hang them in a less accessible section of your closet since you won’t be needing them day-to-day. Sort through gloves, scarves

and hats. Make sure all gloves are in a pair by either rolling them like socks or folding them in half. Check that your scarves are clean and free of any holes. Stack hats that you’re keeping in a nice neat pile and then combine all accessories in a clear bin with a lid so you can see what’s inside. If label makers are too ambitious for you, use scotch tape and a sharpie to label the front of the bin. When you have gone through your winter items, you’ll have more room to designate one basket per person for ‘grab-and-go’ items such as shin guards and uniforms for kids, umbrellas and baseball hats for adults. Linen closets don’t typically get a seasonal change over but a few small changes can make a big improvement. Store sheet sets in their own pillowcase so your closet looks neat and it’s easier to grab everything you need when you want fresh sheets. Stack towels by category (bathroom, beach, etc.) and add baskets for corralling toilet paper and toiletries. The garage can often be the black hole of a home. Take heart, you’re not alone. This is a good activity to enlist the help of your spouse and kids on a nice day because it gets everyone up and out of the house for a collective purpose. As an added bonus, you can’t be accused of tossing items without approval!

Before getting started, pick up some heavy-duty trash bags, a wide broom to make sweeping easier and assess your space storage options. If you don’t have shelves in your garage consider purchasing metal shelving units. Clear bins will come in handy here too. Ideally you should put everything out on the driveway and organize into zones as you put things back: sports equipment, tools/gardening, beach items, seasonal decor, household items, trash/recyclables, etc. Once the garage floor is clear, sweep the floor of leaves, wrappers, dirt, etc. It will make a huge diﬀerence! Toss anything that’s broken, outgrown or not used. Things like baseball bats and lacrosse sticks can be put in tall standing mesh bins. Make a container for each sport. Items like baseball mitts/ gloves/helmets can be grouped together and labeled for easy access. Put them on a lower shelf so the kids can reach them. Cleaning supplies can be placed in a caddy. Gardening tools should be in a separate box than household tools. If you have a mixed bag of tools, consider buying a home or garden tool set as they are available in a variety of sizes, well organized, portable and easy to store.

MANAGING YOUR BRIDAL REGISTRY BY S U E TA B A K I N Spring is a very popular time for both wedding and engagements. Creating and managing a bridal registry can seem like a daunting task, especially with so many options to choose from. Phil and Laura Hershkowitz have been successfully working with brides to be for over 40 years and they are not stopping anytime soon. “We have worked with the grandmother, the mother and now the daughter, ‘ said Phil. “We love what we do and we are always so excited to be a part of such a special time in someone’s life,” he adds. Operating their store Imperial China in the historic George

Allen House, located in the village of Roslyn, the Hershkowitzes have something for everyone, all at diﬀerent price points. “We have customers that come in and know exactly what they want, while others visit the store a few times before making a final selection. We see that brides today are excited to fill their homes with things that complement their lifestyle as well as shop for the more traditional items that their mothers had registered for,” Phil said. Set up as a mini department store, the three floors each have their own unique aesthetic, making it feel more like a home. “Our retail set up is very diﬀerent. Customers can imagine the

merchandise in their own homes which makes registering a less stressful situation,” said Laura. For spring 2019, everyday dinnerware has a cleaner look with solid ceramics; white as the most popular color choice. For formal dinnerware, couples are seeing shimmering materials either as a border or within the many bright, beautiful patterns. “Our merchandise certainly showcases trends, but we also know that many patterns and color combinations never go out of style,” Phil said. The many wares found at Imperial China can be used more than way, making items more valuable. Items on a registry list aren’t limited to dishes, flatware and

serving pieces. Today’s bride to be can register for bath mats, robes, pillows, bedding, even unique pieces of artwork. “It’s fun to see what people register for these days. The reaction when a bride sees something she loves is priceless,” Laura comments. When registering, the Hershkowites advise taking your time and evaluating your personal

style. “The gifts you are going to receive are going to be in your home for a long time. Choose the items that reflect who you are and can withstand the test of time. Remember to register for items at diﬀerent price points. A scented decorative candle can enhance your space just as beautifully as a crystal vase,” Laura said.

EASE INTO SPRING

Preparing for springtime activities

pring is here. The calendar has turned, the sun is shining, flowers are blooming and you’re excited to get outside and get moving. Warmer weather leads to more activity; we exercise more, we walk more, we hike and play more outdoor games. Due to winter inactivity, our bodies may not be quite ready for all this activity at once. Often, being over-ambitious can lead to aches and pains we did not anticipate. Chiropractic care can help prepare you and your body for this exciting time of year. If you’ve been waiting for spring to get up, get out and move, you’ll want to shake oﬀ that winter “rust”. Ease yourself into your springtime fun to minimize the possibility of aches and pains. Plan ahead to prepare your body for the increase in activity. Take 3-4 weeks to slowly return to activity at a less intense level than you anticipate maintaining. Run 1-2 times a week for 15-20 minutes to prepare for a regular routine of 3-5 times a week for 45-60 minutes. This will allow your body to acclimate to your springtime activity without overwhelming your joints and

muscles; thereby decreasing the possibility that injury may occur. The preparation doesn’t stop once you are performing your activity at full go. A common mistake is to stretch before your workout as a warm up. Instead, make a habit of warming up prior to exer-

cise by performing sport specific exercises that increase blood flow and prepare your muscles for the activity ahead. General warm up exercises such as jumping jacks, air squats or light jogging will prime your body for the up-coming exercise and reduce the risk of injury and

pain. Don’t forget that stretching is still an important part of the routine. When you are finished with your sport or activity, your muscles are warm and blood is flowing to these areas, creating a perfect environment to stretch. Take about 10 minutes to stretch both your upper body and lower body. This will help you cool down and maintain flexibility in these tissues, reducing injury so you can continue your springtime routine. Chiropractic care can not only help prepare our bodies for our springtime activity, but keep us healthy as we engage in our exercise or sporting events. Getting regular chiropractic adjustments keeps joints moving freely and restores range of motion. Spinal manipulation can also aid in body re-alignment, thus reducing the aches and pains associated with inactivity. Soft tissue manipulation using both Active Release and Graston Techniques can also aid in mobility by increasing blood flow and decreasing stiﬀness. It is important to maintain mobility as your activity levels increase to ward oﬀ injury. Nicholas F. Amico, DC, CCSP www.516chiropractic.com

ALLERGIES Inside the home, it is very important to keep the windows closed. The same goes for cars and classrooms at school. It certainly is tempting with those beautiful spring days to have the windows wide open but you are going to suﬀer because of it. Putting on the air conditioner a little early if you are warm is a good idea too, as it helps filter the air. Timing of a shower is also important. Take one in the evening after finishing your outdoor activities (and wash your hair).

This removes the pollen oﬀ of your body and prevents you from “sleeping with it”. Even with the best of environmental protection, you may still require medications. It is important to speak to your physician to get ample medications prior to the onset of the season and know how to increase the regimen to keep feeling comfortable. Fortunately, as quickly as the pollen comes, the peak soon passes and you can begin to enjoy the beautiful outdoors again without any worry. Dr. David L.

FINANCIAL & ESTATE PLANNING.

Meet with a financial advisor, elder law attorney and family service coordinator to help with your finances, legal documents and final arrangements. Execute important legal documents such as: Power of Attorney, Healthcare Proxy, Living Will, and Will/Trust. Finances and assets should be organized, up to date and easily available. Pre-plan your funeral arrangements now to take the burden off your loved ones.

As you age, you may want to consider moving to a smaller residence or senior living community. Knowing that relocation can be stressful and emotional, working with a Senior Real Estate Specialist can make the process easier. If you are buying a new home you also need an experienced mortgage adviser. There are programs available today for seniors including FHA reverse mortgage purchase. Consider a company to help with sorting and packing. This is a good opportunity to get rid of clutter or junk. The sooner you begin planning, the more at ease you will be knowing everything is in place. Keep in mind you can create a more eﬀective plan with the input and support of your loved ones.

Quick and simple ways to make a front door pop V isitors’ impressions of a home are often dictated by the home’s entryway. Must as one may judge a book by its cover, the same can be said about the impression that a front door and entryway can create, regardless of how accurate that impression is.

Making certain changes to an entryway can go a long way toward improving curb appeal. Entryways also can set the scene for a home’s interior. Whether one chooses to be classic or bold, modern or traditional, there are various ways to quickly transform a home’s entryway. • Bold front door color: Color can dramatically enhance an entryway. Painting an existing door or replacing it with a more vivid option can do the trick. The DIY Network says certain colors stand out as favorites. These include turquoise, yellow, red, indigo, orange, and black. The door color should complement the other shades of the home, such as those on siding and trim.

• Custom walkway: Guide guests right to the front door with an attractive (and safe) walkway. Stamped concrete or decorative paver blocks may fit the bill. This walkway can extend to the street or to the driveway.

• Contain plants. Landscaping around the entryway should be neat and well-tended. Overgrown plants or shrubbery may give off an air of neglect. Container plants and carefully curated shrubs can create a neat and inviting aura.

• Highlight the address. Make sure the home can be found easily with bold and decorative house numbers. Consider two different address signs: one illuminated and easily viewed from the curb, and another closer to the front door. • Utilize high-end materials. The relatively small area of real estate by the front door enables homeowners to splurge on more opulent materials that can really add a feeling of luxury. These can include colorful tiles, ornate planters, decorative wooden doors, or elaborate knobs and lighting fixtures. • Add architectural details. Find out which architectural elements will meld with the style of the home and then incorporate them. Moldings, columns, shutters, and trim are areas to consider.

The entryway to a home garners a lot of attention. Homeowners can enhance their spaces with entryways that really make a statement.

Did you know?

Investing in a home renovation project not only requires money, but also time and patience. While contractors, architects and designers can estimate how long a project may take, it is impossible to anticipate all of the scenarios that can affect that estimated timeline. Information from the real estate firm Keller Williams indicates an average kitchen remodel involving installation of new countertops, cabinets, appliances, and floors can take three

to six months. But if ductwork, plumbing or wiring must be addressed, the job may take longer. A midline bathroom remodel may take two to three months. Adding a room to a house can take a month or two. The home improvement resource Renovation Junkies offers similar estimates, with the average home renovation taking between four and eight months. Homeowners need to consider time when planning their home projects.

Two of the winners, Sha and Capodanno, had an additional reason to celebrate. They were accepted into the world-renowned Joﬀrey Ballet’s intensive summer program for jazz and contemporary dance. “Our dance students have a lot of fun during their classes and rehearsals, but they also work hard and take their skills seriously,” says Megan Clancy, dance director at the Gold Coast Arts Center. “Their medals, certificates, plaques and trophies are well deserved.” The dance team has one more competition on the schedule for 2019.

Percussion on the Sound to debut Percussion artist Pablo Rieppi has performed with some of the world’s finest ensembles, and taught in New York City and around the world for the last 30 years. In that time, he also created and directed music education projects. In 2009, he moved to Long Island. The longer he lived here, the more he recognized the many wonderful percussion students, but very few opportunities for young percussionists to perform as soloists and chamber musicians — something that young pianists and violinists do on a regular basis. So he decided to create that opportunity. On June 8, he is presenting a concert of solo and chamber music performed by young percussion students.

This will be the debut of Percussion on the Sound, POTS for short. The concert will take place at Hofstra University, who graciously donated the concert venue. The program will include percussion works for Afro-Cuban ensemble, Brazilian-samba ensemble, seminal percussion ensemble works by composers such as John Cage and Toshitmitsu Tanaka, and appearances by special guests including Jonathan Haas, Clint De Ganon and the East Wind Percussion Ensemble. The 21st century is the pinnacle for percussionists, who have moved from the back of the orchestra to the forefront of modern music. On June 8, members of the community can support these young and talented musicians.

D’Urso sponsors pet food drive

Assemblyman Anthony D’Urso is sponsoring the Seventh Annual Legislative Pet Food Drive in the 16th Assembly District, in partnership with Long Island Cares. The drive, which will run during the month of April, will help local soup kitchens and food pantries meet the needs of struggling families with pets. “It is heartbreaking to know

of beloved pets that are placed into shelters simply because their families can no longer afford to feed them. These decisions are made by struggling families who have to choose between heating their homes, buying medications, putting food on their tables, and feeding family pets,” said D’Urso. Pet supplies, toys, food and treats for dogs, cats, hamsters,

fish, reptiles, and ferrets will be collected at D’Urso’s district oﬃce located at 45 North Station Plaza, Suite 203, in Great Neck. Collection boxes will also be available April 1 to 30 at the following locations: Mineola High School, 10 Armstrong Road, Garden City Park Williston Park Library, 494 Willis Ave. Herricks Community Center, 999 Herricks Road Manhasset Public Library, 30 Onderdonk Ave. Great Neck Public Library — all branches Port Washington Community Chest, 382 Main St. Shelter Rock Public Library, 165 Searingtown Road, Albertson The most needed items are bags of dry dog and cat food, canned dog and cat food, cat box litter, treats, and toys. All food must be unopened and in its original packaging.

Bos, Lurvey at Purim celebration Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Town Council Member Veronica Lurvey attended a Purim celebration hosted by the Mashadi Senior Club. Purim is a Jewish holiday marking the deliverance of the Jewish people from danger in ancient Persia. The holiday is one of celebration, gifts, and often costumes.

Bangladeshi celebration Row for Autism regatta on April 14 April 14 will mark the 8th annual Row for Autism at North Hempstead Beach Park. Co-sponsored with the Town of North Hempstead, the Friends of Port Rowing will host a U.S. Rowing sanctioned regatta with competitive races for junior and adult rowers. The day will feature competitive inclusion rowing events for rowers on the autism spectrum. The event is free for spectators and families. All are welcome to cheer on the rowers and enjoy the activities and vendors along the promenade. Racing begins at 8:45 a.m. Each year the proceeds support Port Rowing’s Inclusion Rowing Program to purchase proper equipment and provide professional support

and coaching. Sponsorship and vendor booth options are available. Friends of Port Rowing began its inclusion rowing program in 2012 with the goals of fostering the love of the sport of rowing and providing teens with special needs the benefits of rowing both socially and physically. The program requires specialized training boats and equipment and a dedicated, professional staﬀ to provide safety and coaching. The adaptive program pairs a special needs teenager with a typical peer mentor. Team building, physical training, and social interaction, synchronize on the land and on the water to create a unique experience for all participants.

North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth attended Nassau County’s Bangladesh Independence Day Celebration on March 21 at the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. Bosworth and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran honored residents of Bangladesh heritage in honor of the celebration. Bangladesh Independence Day commemorates the country’s declaration of independence from Pakistan in 1971. It serves as a way of re-

member those who died in the Bangladesh Liberation War, but today it serves as a festive day

to celebrate with parades and patriotic spirit.

Caseworker serves veterans North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth, members of the Town Board and the Town’s Veterans Advisory Committee remind residents that the Town’s Department of Services for the Aging allocates seven to 10 hours a week of social work exclusively devoted to veterans’ needs. The availability of a caseworker is at no additional cost to the Town and comes from reallocating hours of an already existing caseworker. There are approximately 1,200 veterans in the Town. “Our veterans have given so much to our community and our country and I am honored to be able to provide them with this

service,” said Bosworth. “Our veterans’ needs can be addressed by a social worker who is specifically trained in issues that aﬀect our veterans.” The caseworker focuses on a number of veterans’ issues including assisting them to access the benefits that they are entitled to and connecting them to services. Since the program’s inception in 2015, the specialized caseworker has served hundreds of veterans with caregiver and entitlement assistance, bereavement counseling, information and referrals. The caseworker works with the veterans by appointment at the Department of Services for

the Aging’s oﬃce located at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. This is part of the Town’s ongoing eﬀort to assist veterans in the Town which has already included the placement of the Northport Veterans Medical Center’s mobile van at Clinton G. Martin Park three days a week, a discount for veterans at numerous local businesses and a donation drive through the VA Medical Center.

Is BDS anti-Semitism? Or justified?

n the April 29 issue, a spokesperson for the Zionist Organization of America stated that the Boycott, Divestment and Sanction movement directed against Israel is not a human rights movement but rather a movement of anti-Semitic discrimination against Jews and others. The spokesperson cited instances wherein BDS is harmful to students wishing to study in Israel, American-as-apple-pie companies that do business in Israel, Jewish farmers, entertainers, etc.! These eﬀects are real. They are the intent of BDS and are measures of the effectiveness of the movement. A better question to ask might be: Is BDS a human rights movement? Israel, over any nation, has by the United Nations been cited with the greatest number of human rights violations. Americans primarily are aware of the continued illegal (contrary to the Oslo Accords) razing of Palestinian homes and entire villages and their replacement

with Israeli settlements. These settlements are built to attract east European Jews, increase the Israeli population, and colonize illegally occupied areas. Palestinians resisting removal from ancestral homes are beaten, imprisoned, and forcefully removed. So much for the Oslo Accords.! The ZOA spokesperson related that Arabs have more human rights in Israel than in any other country in the Middle East. This is half true as Israel has two standards of rights and justice; one for Israelis and one for Palestinians. Nowhere is this diﬀerence greater than in the occupied territories under military rule. Here Palestinians can be arrested and held up to 90 days without charges. The military conviction rate is close to 100 percent. Should the military wish detainment can be indefinite? In the occupied territories trial for Israelis as an adult begins at age 18.! For Palestinians, the

adult age is 16. Should conviction ensue this difference can mean the difference of many years of imprisonment. Military jurisdiction does not apply to Israeli settlers in the occupied areas. Likewise there is a disparity in the freedom of movement, livelihood, medical care, etc. Children are jailed and targeted assassinations occur. The ZOA spokesperson, as justification for the Town of North Hempstead to prohibit business with entities engaged in the boycott against Israel, offered a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting recipients of federal funds from using those funds to express free speech with which the government disagreed. The Rust v. Sullivan, 500 US 173 ruling was a case in which the United States Supreme Court upheld Department of Health and Human Services regulations prohibiting employees in federally funded family-planning facilities from counseling a patient on abortion. So much for applicability and

veracity. Boycott is not anti-Semitic; it targets policies, not people. The BDS movement is anchored in the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights.” It is a human right, nonsectarian, inclusive movement that rejects all forms of racism, including anti-Semitism. Boycott does not target people based on religion, ethnicity or national origin; it targets injustice and human rights violations. The Town of North Hempstead ordinance against BDS is dangerous and harmful it that it seeks to penalize opposition to justifiable discrimination.! If anything should justify boycott it is the several so-called wars by Israel against Gaza. The capacity to harm from smuggled rockets is incomparable to the might of the worlds tenth strongest military.! I say so-called wars because Gaza has no military. To be sure killing by both sides has taken place. However, there is no justi-

fication for the horrific one-sided preponderance of the death of civilians and utter destruction of infrastructure including schools, mosques, hospitals, etc. These have been wars of ethnic cleansing. The right to boycott nationwide is supported by over 100 organizations. The National Council of Churches, representing 38 Christian faith groups, 100,000 congregations and 40 million people, have called for “an end to the current round of legislative eﬀorts to penalize the use of nonviolent economic measures to influence policies in Israel,” which by United Nations resolutions have been condemned as anti-humanitarian.! Does the ZOA wish to condemn all these people as terrorists?! Who should be condemned for spreading hate and Islamophobia? James Ansel Port Washington!

Saur would be excellent for library

his letter is submitted in enthusiastic support of Adrienne Saur’s candidacy for trustee of the Port Washington Public Library. I have known Saur as a community member for the last 14 years. In that time, I have observed her commitment to the educational and learning environment of the greater Port Washington area and her ability to think “outside the box” to expand the outreach of the various organizations with which she

has been involved. I believe she will bring this enthusiastic, energetic and thoughtful vision to the library board. Saur has demonstrated her commitment to this community, first as Daly HSA secretary and then as co-president of Agate of Port Washington. In these roles, I saw firsthand her ability to synthesize information and inspire others to commit their time and energy to projects designed to improve

the learning environment for all. Amongst her creative endeavors, she inaugurated the STEAM Fair at the library in 2015 and followed with another this past Sunday. She has planned, organized and executed 13 STEAM/STEM events for the library and at Guggenheim, Manorhaven and Daly Elementary School, mentoring over 20 Schreiber High School students for their senior experiences. She has that rare

ability to articulate her point of view while building consensus with her colleagues. Saur views the library and library technology as essential to a thriving, diverse learning community. She uses her Princeton undergraduate training and MA from Columbia University Teachers College in Instructional Technology & Media for Adult Learning to enhance the manner in which consumers may use technology to improve

services, but she is never unaware of the need to integrate technology carefully and fiscally responsible. Because she is a person who participates in every aspect of the library oﬀerings, and because she sees the library as a vibrant center of the community, she will be an excellent addition as a trustee. Barbara S. Cohen Port Washington

Vote Saur for library trustee The environment

drienne Saur would be an asset to the Port Washington Public Library’s board of trustees. She is honest, creative, and has a strong work ethic. I have worked with Saur over the years and seen her diverse skill set benefit our community firsthand. She has insight to problems and is a

creative problem solver. She created Daly’s eNewsletter to inform and reach more parents, the Procedure Library to make it easier for parents to volunteer and get involved, and Daly STEM Night (the first STEAM/ STEM fair event in Port Washington) to engage children and families in science, technology, engineering, and math, espe-

cially for those who don’t have the financial resources for expensive enrichment programs.! Join me in voting for Adrienne Saur for library trustee on Tuesday, April 9 at the Port Washington Public Library. Melissa Vissicchio Port Washington

Honoring a Support Saur for trustee fallen soldier I

rmy Staﬀ Sgt. Travis Atkins was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor at a White House ceremony on Wednesday, March 27. Atkins jumped a suicide bomber and was killed saving fellow soldiers in Iraq. President Trump presented the honor attended by family and friends. As reported by the Pentagon, Atkins in 2007 saw a man wearing explosives and took him down as it detonated and save the lives of his fellow soldiers. He gave his life by saving others. No man or woman can

give a greater gift to others than doing what is necessary to save others. As a Vietnam veteran and a member of American Legion Post #103 in Douglaston, I salute the bravery of Atkins who did what had to be done and gave his life for others at the age of 31. Let me also salute the bravery of all our men and women in the U.S. military who are serving our nation today. May God bless and protect you all and keep you safe. Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

f you have school-aged children in Port Washington, most likely they have benefitted from one of the many programs organized by Adrienne Saur, who is running for a seat on the board of the Port Washington Public Library. Saur inaugurated the STEAM Fair at the library in 2015 and followed up with a second one this past Sunday, bringing together professional scientists and organizations for the Port Washington community. During the last four years, she organized and ran 13 STEM/STEAM events for the library and at Guggenheim, Manorhaven, and Daly Elementary Schools. In addition, she ran stations at four other events, including at Sousa and Salem Elementary Schools. As PTA/ HSA presidents at Manorhaven

and Guggenheim during some of these years, we can attest to the infectious enthusiasm she and her volunteers brought to our students and families. It was invaluable to have someone willing to come into our schools, plan an inspiring event in its entirety, and ask for nothing in return except minimal expenses and pizza for the student volunteers. Time and again, when Saur sets out to turn her visions into reality, she manages to achieve her goals while staying within budget. As a nearly 20-year resident of Port Washington, Saur has been long active in our community. She was the corresponding secretary for the Daly HSA for many years before moving on to serve as co-president of Agate of Port Washington where she advocated for enrichment programming.

She continues to be a part of the school community, mentoring over 20 Schreiber students for their senior experiences, in addition to guiding middle and high school students in bringing their ideas to life for their stations at the STEM/STEAM events. Anyone who has spent time with Saur can appreciate her passion for science and technology and her strong belief in lifelong learning. She has a track record for creating new opportunities for our community. As trustee, she will continue to bring her energy and her vision to our library. Please join us in voting for Adrienne Saur on Tuesday, April 9 at the Port Washington Public Library. Michelle Duran and Cindy Moroney Port Washington

focus on enriching people’s lives and building a strong community. Her early career spanned the cultural arts, including numerous Broadway productions, documentary and cultural programming for PBS, and communications for the Museum of Modern Art. Having served as an event producer, development director, and communications director for several Port Washington-based organizations, Beth is now the Executive Director of the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization; in this role, she is responsible for the 216-acre Nassau County-owned public park featuring four historic mansions and year-round cultural, educational, and horticultural programs, serving the entire Port Washington community. A Duke University graduate, Beth holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Columbia University, and she studied 20th-Century British Literature at Oxford University in England In 2014, Beth produced the PWPL’s World Festival, which celebrated the unique traditions of

35 countries. The festival included an international art exhibition and featured special programming created by the Library’s staﬀ for children, teens, and adults Beth supports numerous nonprofit organizations that serve the community, and, through her work for the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, she develops collaborative partnerships for innovative programs and services for the community." She’d be a great asset to PWPL Board! Beth and her husband David have resided in Port Washington for 23 years; they’ve raised two amazing sons, whom I absolutely adore." I remember her sons Alex and Nick, along with my sons, being among the very first children to take the Great Library Card Adventure! Beth’s can-do attitude coupled with her incredible work-ethic makes it very easy to whole-heartedly support Beth Horn for PWPL Trustee!

Straus for Port library board Beth Horn for library trustee

am writing to urge voters come out on April 9 and vote for Matt Straus who is running for a trustee position on the Port Washington Library board. Straus will prove to be an excellent choice based on his education as an English major in college who learned the value of a thriving library, where the value of written communication can be experienced, shared and discussed. He currently serves as a trustee of the Science Museum of Long Island, as well as

a regular volunteer at Sousa Elementary School, where his children attend. Straus wants to build on the diversity of oﬀerings the library provides, work to maintain the vitality and quality of both the facility and staﬀ and see to it that the library remains as one of Port’s greatest resources. On a personal note, Matt is one of the most honest, genuine, intelligent and fair-minded guys I have ever been associated with. Hank Ratner Port Washington

Horn for Port library trustee

his letter is submitted in support of Beth Horn’s candidacy for Trustee of the Port Washington Public Library. I have known Beth for more than a decade, originally due to our respective involvement with Landmark on Main Street, where Beth served as Director of Development prior to her current role as Executive Director of the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy. In both cases, she played a key role in stabilizing (and increas-

ing) the respective organizations’ finances, and, in the case of the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, dramatically improved the scope and quality of programming. Beth is extremely smart and personable. Her intelligence, diligence, humor, warmth and calm demeanor are all evidence of her strong leadership qualities. Beth would make a wonderful trustee. Frank Ullman Port Washington

am writing this letter to urge all Port Washington voters to support Beth Horn in the upcoming Port Washington Library Board of Trustees election on Tuesday, April 9. I have known Beth for over twenty years and am humbled and honored to call her my friend." She is brilliant, passionate, dedicated, patient, and thoughtful. She’s also an excellent active listener and is superlatively devoted to making the world around her the best and most beautiful it can possibly be. Beth is a true class act who humbly leads by example." She diligently works at whatever she puts her mind to, always striving for excellence, and in turn inspires those around her to be their best selves too." How lucky Port Washington is to have her! Beth’s passion to make our community the finest it can be is simply contagious and I stand in awe of her many accomplishments. Beth has a long history of successful leadership."

The verdict of history against Trump

udos to Dr. Wayne Roth for his letter which appeared in the March 22 issue of Blank Slate media papers. Under the headline, “My Gratitude for Trump Continues,” Dr. Roth informs us that he previously found “27 reasons” for liking the 45th president and now he has discovered “21 more.” I say “kudos” because I doubt if anyone else could come up with 48 reasons to like a man who is xenophobic, misogynistic, narcissistic, incapable of writing a correctly spelled and punctuated sentence and is mentally unstable. These aren’t just my opinions. Steve Schmidt, former campaign strategist for George W. Bush and John McCain, said Trump was “a small man, a vile man, a mean man, a corrupt man, a dishonest man,” but Schmidt did not despair. He went on to say, “What we’re going to see in the months and year ahead is the resiliency of the American constitutional system… as we confront what increasingly seems to be an illegitimate and criminal regime in the White House.” Barbara Bush in her new biography “The Matriarch” calls

Trump “greedy and selfish.” If you Google Republicans who dislike Trump, you will find hundreds of names. Trump has eﬀectively hijacked the Republican party. Polls show that about 90 percent of Republicans still support Trump, but there is an explanation for this loyalty. Elected oﬃcials fear facing a primary challenge if they cross Trump. Others simply “suck up” because they lack the courage of their convictions. Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio come to mind. Then there is “the base” which is ignorant and, as Trump himself has said, would be loyal even if he shot someone on 5th Avenue. It’s time to refute some of the reasons Roth admires Donald Trump. One is: “Generously refused to take his presidential salary…” He didn’t need to since he never put his assets in a blind trust, refused to show us his tax returns (remember they were under audit) and then there are his lucrative business enterprises. Business is booming at Mara-Lago since he doubled the membership fee to $200,000. Trump’s hotel in Washington, D.C. raked in $20 million in its

first few months. Why would U.S. companies and foreign leaders stay there? It’s called “access.” If you want something from Trump, stay at his hotel. One wonders: Doesn’t this practice violate the emoluments clause of the Constitution? Finally, during the campaign, Trump said he would avoid “big money donors,” yet six groups of ultra-wealthy donors (from the gambling, finance, real estate, and energy sectors) gave him $54 million. Then there were the “dark money” donors whose names are never disclosed. When the millionaires and billionaires have your back, you can make disingenuous gestures like saying your campaign will be selffinanced. Another reason Roth cites for liking Trump is “the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau harassed pay-day lenders during the Obama administration. Their dictatorial intention was designed to eliminate the industry,” to which I say… good riddance! Let me quote from a May 28, 2016 Des Moines Register editorial. “Payday lenders gouge the poor. They oﬀer cash ‘advances’ or ‘check loans’… Some charge interest rates as high a 360 per-

cent and employ deceptive and illegal practices to take advantage of consumers… (Lenders) are frequently located near lowincome neighborhoods and college campuses.” Some payday borrowers use their car titles to secure shortterm loans. If they are unable to repay the debt, they lose their car. The lessons to be learned here is that it’s expensive to be poor in America and that around every corner there’s a rapacious businessman eager to provide “help.” Roth likes the fact that Trump repealed the Dodd-Frank Act. According to David Zarang, this law “made the financial system safer, limited the size and scope of the larger banks, and created a new system of oversight that is aﬀecting the way they do business today.” On the other hand, the Motley Fool opines, “At the end of the day… one can argue about the prescience and necessity of the Dodd-Frank Act.” So the jury is still out on this. But the evidence about Trump is crystal clear. In his first 787 days in oﬃce, he made 9,179 false or misleading statements. (For math lovers, that’s 11.6 per day.) He has promoted bigotry and racism. His appoin-

tees have destroyed the environment by getting rid of every regulation President Obama put in place. He has abandoned Puerto Rico. Can we forget the sight of him tossing paper towels to a crowd which needed food and the restoration of electricity? He promulgated one of the most heinous policies in history when he separated families, handing the children over to Child Protective Services while their parents were sent to detention centers. He has debased the office of the president by using profanity “sh**hole nations,” “pu***” and “b***sh**.” If that weren’t enough, there was his romancing an adult film star and a Playboy bunny. Sean Wilentz writing in the New York Times points out that presidents try to avoid partisan and factional rancor… they dedicate themselves to safeguarding… democratic rights. Do I hear gales of laughter? Historians love to rank American presidents. Trump is already among the bottom three. I am not so kind. He is, without a doubt, the absolute worst in our nation’s history. Dr. Hal Sobel Great Neck

G.N. rally against hate not inclusive

he flyer/email promoting Sunday’s rally in Great Neck’s Village Green “against hate and antisemitism” never mentioned that an ultra-conservative organization would be allowed to have a prominent location with a table of literature and signs promoting a narrow message and purpose. I rechecked the flyer and there wasn’t any indication this would be more of a “fight hate by rallying against ‘the other.'” I did not see any evidence of other well-known organizations there who oﬀer more moderate messages. From the outset, many of us worried and talked about how non-inclusive the invitation seemed to be. Why were the

Islamic, Afro-American, Asian communities not listed? Your paper reported the organizer, an individual, said he reached out to everyone. Well, if they did not respond, try again. On Thursday night, I had the privilege of attending a solidarity conference at the Hillside Islamic Center in New Hyde Park. What an incredible experience of love, hope, inspiring consistent message for peace as we are all God’s children. Clergy representing Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Sikhism, all preached unity. Sunday’s Rally on the Green in Great Neck was not inspiring, especially when support for the message ‘against hate in today’s world# ‘ was to invoke the ‘vic-

tim’ mentality one more time by calling forth the Holocaust, certainly the most devastating tragic event visited on a specific people, as if it were a stage prop, always at the ready, the attempt to suppress questioning or challenging the# theme they were using to combat hate and anti-Semitism.# It is true we should “never forget,” but, one, does it resonate today, some 77 years later, and, two, do we appear insensitive to genocides like two million killed in Cambodia, the recently acknowledged Turkish genocide inflicted upon Armenians. When we refer to the hate crimes in Charleston, Pittsburgh and New Zealand, we recognize

the current pain in our hearts and minds, thus relating more viscerally how hate impacts all of us. Then, we can adopt a more universal goal of coming together to support each other while we try to reduce the carnage with new public policies and personal empathetic#listening. Yossi Klein Halevi, in his recent book, “Letters to My Palestinian Neighbor,” and in a recent dialogue with Imam Abdullah Antepli of Duke University, stated “the victim narrative does not, and will not, keep Judaism alive with the generations born after the Baby Boomers.” Instead, we should preach the “Yearning for a Homeland” narrative.

The former begins with Russian pogroms and culminates with the Holocaust in Europe. The latter is the dream of and eventual birth of Israel, a yearning for a homeland that is also the dream of all of its neighbors. People of all faiths understand this. I am not all in on J-Street or AIPAC. Israel is our home base; it cannot ever fall or we would be “lost.” But, it does not mean we can’t be critical of specific policies. “I can live outside of Israel, but I cannot live without Israel,” a rabbi related this quote to me from one of their mentors.# # Steven Walk Great Neck

Vote for Straus for library trustee

am writing this letter in support of Matt Straus’s candidacy for the Port Washington Public Library’s board of trustees. A lifelong Port Washington resident and Schreiber High School graduate, Straus is father to two young children, and he devotes much of his time outside of practicing law to serving our community: a volunteer at Sousa Elementary (his chil-

dren’s school), a board member for the Science Museum of Long Island, and with me as a den leader in Port Washington’s Cub Scout Pack 77. In the years that Straus and I have worked together in Cub Scouts, I have found him to be dedicated, disciplined and organized, critical characteristics for eﬀectively discharging the duties of an elected board member. Straus is a skilled commu-

nicator and an equally respectful listener, open to considering those whose opinions diﬀer from his own and conceding graciously when appropriate. He fulfills his role as den leader with a steady hand and a calm demeanor, which is no small feat when dealing with sevenyear-old boys. What I most admire about Straus is his ability to seamlessly weave together his roles as law-

Input, planning needed by VGN

am writing to clear up many misconceptions stated in a recent letter to the editor. The public hearings for proposed village rezoning that took place in February and March were overcome with a level of hostility and animus, to which some civic activists fanned the flames.# Signs and literature were handed out to residents by these activists before the board meetings, stating personal impressions of the proposed corridor study before any words were spoken in the presentation.# Many residents received emails and literature indicating problems with the VHB study and the “secretiveness” of the board. The implication given to the public was that any proposed

change would cause the end of life as we know it in the village.# The proposed legislation was just that: a proposal.# The hearings were put in place for the board to listen to the public.# Based on the overwhelming response, the mayor and board are starting over.# But this time, the hope is that all the# experts# that have been quoted, will show up before the study is concluded and volunteer — like the people who came forward to be a part of the Citizens Advisory Committee.# Many of the critics of the proposal did not volunteer for that committee, nor did the vast majority show up for many of the preliminary meetings where other presentations were given, the CAC was composed of volunteers, not appointees as was incorrectly suggested.##

It’s very easy to play Monday morning quarterback and critique everyone when all the data is in after much work has been done.## There are those who complained that the engineering firm, VHB, was chosen in the first place given that we have so many experts living in Great Neck.# The fact that any consultant was sought indicates that the mayor and board were doing their due diligence to see what impact rezoning would have on the peninsula.# While we may not agree with the study, this engineering company is one that has been used by many other villages all over Long Island.# Would our homegrown experts be able to stand up to neighbor after neighbor criticizing their work and analysis?#

Those that have expressed their disagreement with the study’s conclusion have been welcomed to contribute their findings in the roundtable meetings to come.# After three public hearings, and over a year of accepting public input regarding the village of Great Neck corridor study, Mayor Bral invited leaders in the Great Neck community and the county to his home, for the purpose of seeking# productive# thoughts on how to revitalize Great Neck.# This casual invitation was extended to leaders in various aspects of the community and county, people on both sides of the aisle.# It allowed for them to meet and exchange ideas without yelling about how no revitalization is necessary. This meeting showed a level of understanding on the

mayor’s part demonstrating that we cannot move forward without understanding each other.## In Laura Curran’s state of the county address this month, she stated that revitalization can be achieved with increased housing, in smart and careful ways, where school districts and living spaces have not been impacted negatively. I think we should all come together in this spirit of understanding and not attack the mayor, trustees, or anyone for attempting to improve our village.# Maybe now with this personal invitation to the public, people will consider what positive changes can be made to revitalize our village. David Kahen Great Neck

VIEW POINT

Adopt Complete Streets strategy VGN Continued from Page 17 And they would have learned why Complete Streets is such an excellent strategy for communities as the base for economic development and to relieve pressure on the tax base — to the extent that Gov. Cuomo signed Complete Streets Legislation in 2011, unleashing millions of dollars for communities. Indeed, Dan Winkelman of VHB (the same consultant that the village hired to come up with recommendations for the incentive zoning, who worked on the Baldwin Downtown commercial Corridor and Resiliency Study, and is working on Downtown Kings Park), oﬀered a list of National Best Practices for Complete Street

Projects. Things need to be done early on: Scoping: collect all the data you need in order to make sound decisions — vehicle, volume data, crash data, pedestrian injury/fatality data. “Without that information, you can’t come to conclusion on recommendations or back up recommendations.” Consideration needs to be given to how the community is likely to change over 10 years. Community input, stakeholder input: “First, foremost, it is extremely important to get this early at the outset of the project. Make sure you have info from all the key players; without it, you really won’t get the support of the community behind you. I cannot stress how

important it is to get input early.” Outreach, education and training: provide case studies, results of similar projects that were successful, statistics that support. This is especially important if a “road diet” is part of the proposal. Here’s my proposal to revitalize Middle Neck Road: Put it on a “road diet” which means one lane of traﬃc in each direction with a bike lane or separation from parked cars, bump outs for small shuttle bus (perhaps a cutesy-pie trolley) to pull in, and left turning lanes, pretty up the median so that it doesn’t impede visibility of ongoing traﬃc, put in passive parks and pretty street lighting and flower planters (like the Plaza). This needs to be done in con-

junction with Nassau County (she was a major figure behind the Baldwin/Grand Avenue revitalization and cited how Great Neck Plaza has won a $400,000 grant to improve the intersection at Middle Neck Road and Barstow). Middle Neck Road is a county road and the county is apparently supposed to repave it — a once in a 20 or 30-year proposition — so maybe should be put oﬀ until planning is in place. Then work on business development strategies, community events and activities, zoning that encourages mixed-use development. And what about collaborating with the Great Neck Village Officials Association for a Complete Streets/Transportation Alterna-

tives project that would extend the length of Middle Neck Road corridor? The Great Neck Park District deserves huge praise for piloting its Buzz bus program. That should be in partnership with the entire Peninsula, especially as Long Island Railroad opens up the Grand Central link, which is expected to increase railroad ridership by 20 to 30 percent. “A lot is going on in the county when it comes to Complete Streets,” Curran said. “It is all part of my plan for making Nassau County a place to live, work and play — it creates better quality of life, more active, easier to get places, and reduces congestion.”

Why Trump does not help Cuomo

hose who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones at others concerning President Trump including no money in his proposed $4.7 trillion fiscal year 2020 budget starting on Oct. 1.! ! It should be no surprise to anyone that our Gov. Andrew Cuomo continues to come away empty handed after meeting with Trump in making his case for the proposed Gateway Tunnel project.! Cuomo ran for another term against Trump in 2018.! He spent millions on television advertising portraying Trump as an ultra rightwing conservative anti-Christ whose values will destroy New York setting us back decades.! Only Cuomo can save us from this disaster.! After winning reelection, he goes to Washington hat in hand to meet with Trump on behalf of the $29 billion Gateway Tunnel.! He wants Washington to pick up half the tab for the $14 billion first phase.! This would pay for the replacing the Portal Bridge, two new Hudson River tunnels and rehabilitation of two existing tunnels.!

The governor came away empty-handed with a photo op and no money. He forgot that you get more with honey than you do with vinegar.! Cuomo should know like a good Sicilian, Trump has a long memory as to how he has been treated in the past by those who wish to kiss his ring looking for a favor today.!! Both New York and New Jersey elected oﬃcials are also hypocritical in continuing to call for Washington to finance construction of Gateway Tunnel, but refusing to contribute matching local funding. Previous governors of NJ and NY found billions in hard cash for their local share to obtain Federal Transit Administration New Starts funding for other projects. These include NJ Transit’s Hudson Bergen Light Rail Minimum Operating Segment One ($992 million), Segment Two ($1.2 billion) and Secaucus Transfer ($450 million). The MTA did the same for LIRR East Side Access to Grand Central Terminal ($11.2 billion) and Second Avenue Subway Phase One ($4.5 billion). None required a federal Railroad

Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing or Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Improvement Act loans. The Gateway Tunnel Portal Bridge ($1.6 billion) and Hudson River Tunnel ($11 billion) portions along with Second Avenue Subway Phase 2 ($6 billion) are currently in the first phase of FTA’s New Starts program known as “Project Development.”!! It should not be diﬃcult for Cuomo and Murphy to come up with several billion each toward their local share to begin both the $1.6 billion Portal Bridge and $11 billion Hudson River Tunnel and $1.4 rehabilitation for existing tunnels early phases of the overall $29 billion Gateway Tunnel. Stop crying poverty and man up. Neither governor put up a plug nickel in their current budgets toward funding this project.! Without real hard financial resources from Washington ($14.6 billion), NJ ($7.3 billion) and NY ($7.3 billion), how will the full $29 billion Gateway Tunnel be paid for? A project can’t be financed by borrowing and fare

surcharges alone. Washington, Albany and Trenton all share equal blame for the lack of a real $29 billion Gateway Tunnel financing package.! Sen. Schumer is never shy around a camera or microphone.! He has never held one of his famous Sunday press conferences in Albany to criticize Cuomo for his failure to fully fund his share.! The same is true for Sen. Gillibrand.! New Jersey Senators Booker and Menendez are also silent concerning their own Gov. Murphy when it comes to his failure to contribute. Over the past four years, the estimated cost for the Gateway Tunnel has grown from $20 billion to $29 billion! It is reminiscent of the ongoing MTA LIRR Eastside Access to Grand Central Terminal project. ! In 2001, the initial estimated cost was $3.5 billion with a completion date of 2011. In 2019, 18 years later (based upon the 2016 MTA Federal Transit Administration amended Full Funding Grant Agreement) currently at $11.2 billion, could grow up to $12 billion

with completion in 2022. ! Will Gateway do the same and become our New York version of the infamous Boston “big dig” end up costing $40,!$50 or even $60 billion and completed by!2038?!! The Gateway Development Corporation reminds me of the character Wimpy who famously said, “I’ll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.” ! Tuesday may never come for commuters and taxpayers who use NJT and Amtrak and need a new Hudson River Tunnel to be completed within their lifetime.! Larry Penner (Larry Penner is a transportation historian and advocate who previously worked 31 years for the US Department of Transportation Federal Transit Administration Region 2.! This included the development, review, approval and oversight for grants supporting billions in capital projects and programs on behalf of the MTA, NYC Transit, LIRR & Metro North, MTA Bus, New Jersey Transit and NYC Department of Transportation)

Keep Port school spending rise at 2%

ith the new federal tax deduction limit for state & local taxes, many are seeing a greater impact from our high property taxes, over 60 percent of which are school taxes. Instead of getting 30 percent back in federal and state taxes, most now get back only 6 percent. I want to compliment our Port Library Board for the great job they’ve done in actually lowering both our costs and library

taxes over the past two years. Thanks, both to Nancy Curtin, our excellent library head for 20-plus years, and also our very fine new director, Keith Klang. I’ve also known most of our school superintendents for the past 40 years, and all were pretty good, but Dr. Mooney, in my view, has been the best.! We will miss her next year. My key request in this letter is to ask our school board

to come in 1 percent below our tax cap, which is now almost 2.9 percent.! For the past six years, we’ve come in right at the tax cap, and this cap was well above the normal cap due to significant capital expenditures exempted from the cap.! State aid is far higher this year for our school district (+13 percent) and is the third highest percentage increase in all of Nassau.

And pension costs are lower.! So it’s quite reasonable this year for our tax increase to be 2 percent rather than 3 percent. In recent years I’ve voted for the budget.! This year I will do so only if the tax increase is 2 percent or lower. Yes, it is still likely to pass even if set at 2.9 percent, but this unfairly harms many Port taxpayers this year and future years as well. The key reason our tax cap

is nearly 3 percent and not 2 percent is because of the $70 million bond ( $100 million including interest) passed by our school board primarily by setting the bond vote date at an unusual time when most wouldn’t be voting. Please keep our tax increase to 2 percent – the real cap! Frank J. Russo Jr. President, Port Washington Educational Assembly

Israeli party’s success not town’s business

hank you for publishing my letter (on March 29) about the necessity for and Constitutionality of the Town of North Hempstead’s bipartisan anti-BDS law, unanimously passed by every Democrat and every Republican on the town council.! I also explained that BDS (anti-Israel boycotts, divestment and sanctions) is a form of economic anti-Semitic discrimination against Jews, and is designed to destroy and de-

monize the Jewish state.!! My letter also discussed the widespread harm that BDS does to American companies, American individuals including American Jewish and non-Jewish students, American universities, and Israeli Jews and Arabs who are simply trying to make an honest living.!! I also mentioned the recent “Terrorists in Suits” report which details over 100 links between BDS groups and designated ter-

rorist organizations, including HAMAS and the PFLP (Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine).!! I’ve always appreciated the fact that, in the best tradition of a free press, this newspaper publishes letters from people in our community whose views diﬀer from the rather leftwing views of this newspaper’s editors. It was disturbing, however, that your editors appended a note containing a factually false

premise to the end of my March 29 letter.!! Your note absurdly claimed that North Hempstead’s anti-BDS law “makes them [the Town of North Hempstead] responsible to respond if an Israeli political party labeled a terrorist group by the United States became a partner in a future Israeli government.”!! In fact, the party to which your note referred, “Otzma Yehudit,” has never been labeled a ter-

rorist organization by the United States.!!Otzma is not currently on, and has never be on the list of U.S. Designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations.! ! (The list can be easily found on the U.S. State Department website.)! Moreover, according to the U.S. State Department’s 2013 countries human rights report, it would violate free press rights to prevent Otzma from running in Israel’s elections.!!!!!

Build a new home or renovate? It now appears many of you are torn between building, purchasing a larger or downsizing to a smaller home or apartment or staying where you are an adding an extension, upgrading or even making it more userfriendly, retrofitting and making things handicap accessible, etc. as you grow older. You may be a millennial, younger or older and have decided that you want to construct your dream home.! A large amount of planning preparation must take place in order for your project to be completed and successful. First, what is a budget that you have decided on and will you be paying outright for your purchase or financing?! If financing, I would suggest that you go and have your lender (or ours) to provide you with either a least a pre-qualification letter or a commitment letter to lend you the money; based on your appraisal of the property. You will obviously need all your financials (two years tax returns, pay stubs if you are a salary or wage earner or your 1099 and two-four weeks of

your pay stubs. One must decide where you want to live and search to see what land or even a knockdown house is available and its accompanying costs to do this.! Have you discussed your plan with an architect? You will need him/her to create a drawing or have an idea of what you may want to build.! Also, another route you can take is the internet, where there are many, many plans to choose from, just google, “ building plans and styles for new homes.” However, I would suggest enlisting a qualified and experienced architect (or ours) to assist you with whatever building plans, permits etc. that you will need to make it a smooth and seamless process from start to finish. There are expeditors that can help you with your paperwork; however, an architect would be my first choice if I were to build anything, so there will be less of an opportunity for major and minor mistakes as you go along. Changes will always come

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

up as you begin and you want to make as many changes in the beginning as possible, so you will minimize overall costs; since your labor will be your greatest expense and not the actual materials that you purchase to build your new home with. Also, keep in mind the S.A.L.T. (State and local taxes) deduction of a maximum of $10,000, that you will be subject to, so you want to plan in advance to guestimate (or call me) what your real estate taxes will be, so there will be less of a surprise, once you get your final new tax bill.

You must also consider the exterior costs of your landscape, eg. patios, trees, plants and flowers.! These could be quite substantial without the proper planning and budgeting.! Even your interior costs could go sky high, without realizing what your budget will be. Of course, we all desire to go a bit higher as we construct our “dream home” because one gets very emotionally involved as we begin to see it evolve before our eyes and we get really excited as we await the end product. Then we may totally forget about that, so-called budget that we swore we would stay within.! Voila! That’s when you need to wake up, have an epiphany, smell the coﬀee and put a bit of discipline back in the mix and come back to reality! Stay the course and do your best keep within your budget, unless you have that spare money that you have squirreled away (that maybe your significant other doesn’t know about, ha!) and you surprise her or him and use it to add some amenities that you really need (that

you can aﬀord) but not just want, because you will be way beyond your initial budget. However, keep in mind, you will not lose money by upgrading to better quality appliances, windows, roof, flooring, fixtures, or ! recessed lighting, which I always recommend, eliminating standing lamps, taking up space; or bathroom fixtures, faucets, etc. which will last longer and provide better value when the time comes to consider selling or even renting your home out, for a better return on investment (R.O.I.) Building a new home is a very exciting and rewarding endeavor and you probably deserve it at this stage in our life and that’s why you are contemplating doing it, but requires a plan! My motto is always, “proper planning, prevents piss poor performance” so go slow and steady, cross your “T’s” and dot your “I’s” and cover all your bases and if you need any assistance, I am only a phone call away for a consultation.

Israeli party’s success not town’s business Continued from Page 84 Thus, even in the unlikely event that an Otzma candidate was elected to Israel’s parliament and became part of Israel’s majority coalition, the Town of North Hempstead would have nothing to answer for.!! Further, Israeli coalition politics has no relevance to the pressing need for anti-BDS laws.!!Anti-BDS laws are necessary to curb antisemitic discrimination and attempts to destroy Israel, and to prevent serious harm to Americans as well as to Israelis and Palestinian-Arabs. In any event, this is all likely merely theoretical.! ! This year, although Israel’s Central Elec-

tions Committee permitted Otzma and all its candidates to run in the upcoming election, Israel’s Supreme Court then removed one Otzma candidate, and allowed the party and its other candidates to run in the election.!! Due to the placement of the remaining Otzma candidates on the joint list on which they are running, it is unlikely that any Otzma candidate will become a member of the Israeli parliament (Knesset) or government.!! The real problem in Israel’s elections this year is that Israel’s Supreme Court put the openly treasonous Arab Balad party and Communist party candidate Offer Cassif (who compares Israel

to Nazis) back on the ballot, after the Central Elections Committee had disqualified them.!! At the Balad convention two months ago, Balad party leaders stated that Balad is “an inseparable part of the Palestinian national movement.”!! The party sang the Palestinian national anthem calling for revenge, crossing the borders, struggling for “Palestine, my country” with fire and guns, and swearing to live and die as revolutionaries until they are “back” in “Palestine.” The Balad convention also received greetings from two treasonous Balad former Knesset members, namely Azmi

Bishara, who spied for Hezbollah during the Second Lebanon War, and Basel Ghattas, who was convicted for abusing his Knesset immunity to smuggle 15 cell phones, SIM cards and notes to jailed Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists who murdered Jews – to enable these PIJ terrorists to direct further terror operations from prison.! !Balad Party leader, MK Haneen Zoabi participated in the Gaza flotilla operation against Israel, stated that Hamas’s murder of 3 Jewish teenagers was not terrorism, and!admitted: “I don’t see myself as an Israeli Member of Knesset, but as a Palestinian. We are using the Knesset to ad-

vance the Palestinian struggle… [and] we are doing this from within ‘Occupied Palestine.’” Balad Chairman Jamal Zahalka called on PA dictator Mahmoud Abbas to lift sanctions on Hamas in Gaza, and to end security coordination with Israel. ! Who will answer for the Arab Balad party’s treachery, if and when it is once again elected to Israel’s Knesset?!

Parente sworn in as new mayor of E.W. Continued from Page 1 debt, general government operations of $500,000 and the sanitation contract of $350,200. Tanner said debt funding was used to improve village roads, the renovation of Village Hall and reconstruction of the train station and parking lots. The largest income items are property taxes of $2.03 million, building permits worth $95,000, $50,000 in mortgage taxes, plumbing fees of $25,000 and grant funding of $9,100. Treasurer Michael Delury said building permits have grown consistently in the past few years because people want to invest in East Williston. A final assessment roll of property values was also passed, which residents can inspect and challenge after it is published by the village. If any resident has a major change in his or her assessment, a notification will go out to those residents. During the organizational meeting, Tanner said his farewell to public oﬃce

and handed the gavel to Parente, his former deputy mayor. “Bonnie, Chris [Siciliano], Jim [Iannone], I consider you part of my legacy and I’m confident you’ll do a wonderful job,” Tanner said. “Thank you very much and thank you, everybody, god bless East Williston, a wonderful community.” Parente was sworn in to her post by Nassau County Legislator and Presiding Oﬃcer Richard Nicolello, while her nephew held up her Bible and her husband and son watched. “Bonnie has been involved and dedicated to service to the community from the moment I met her,” Nicolello said. “Sometimes local government is a thankless job, but it’s the closest position to the people and I know she has her heart in the right place.” In her first order of business, Parente thanked Tanner for his leadership and honored him and his wife with a plaque for their dedicated service to village residents.

“We don’t always agree, but what’s wonderful is that we can respectfully disagree and sometimes convince each other,” Parente said. “Good governance,” Tanner replied. Parente started her political career in East Williston after being elected trustee eight years ago at the coaxing of Tanner. She comes from a politically engaged family. Her father, Lou Santosus, is the former fire chief and deputy mayor of Mineola. Parente graduated from Hofstra University and holds a law degree from Touro Law School. She has been a practicing attorney for 25 years. The room was standing room only as Parente swore in her new Board of Trustees, commission and committee members. Trustee Christopher Siciliano was appointed deputy mayor, James Iannone was re-elected to his post as trustee and newcomer Raﬀaela Dunne was sworn in to her new post as trustee after beating another newcomer in village elections last month.

Dunne is a civil engineer who holds a master’s degree in environmental#engineering. She currently works for a boutique real estate development advisory company in Manhattan. Dunne’s involvement in East Williston politics began eight years ago when she joined the recreation committee. She recently resigned from the Planning Board to become trustee. She said she looks forward to using her professional background as trustee. “I feel that with several of the issues that the village is facing with traﬃc and water quality, I wanted to use my background to try and improve and help the board with the issues that they’re trying to work on,” Dunne said. After the new board was formed, it approved all agenda items and gave updates on operations and coming events. The public was treated to refreshments and had the opportunity to chat with elected oﬃcials.

earlier this month. Empire State Development expects to break ground in the second quarter after public approvals and the final environmental impact statement, at which time live racing will move from Belmont Park to Saratoga for the summer season. The New York Racing Association, which oversees operations of Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park and Saratoga Race Course, made minor changes to the racing schedule to accommodate construction plans. The New York State Gaming Com-

mission has approved the Belmont Park spring/summer meet’s revised 48-day calendar. Belmont Park’s opening day is Friday, April 26, with the meet running through Sunday, July 7. The Saratoga summer meet will begin Thursday, July 11, and run through Labor Day, Sept. 2. No changes were made to the number of live racing days at Saratoga, which remain at 40. The racing association said it does not yet have a date for the racing season’s return from Saratoga to the Belmont Park fall meet, when construction

is expected to be underway. A representative for the racing organization said any decision about adjustments to the morning training or live racing schedule at Belmont Park will be made at the conclusion of the public approval process in the second quarter. Residents expected to be aﬀected by the Islanders arena construction are urged by the development agency to attend the discussion workshop Saturday and to reach out to their local governments to voice their concerns, comments and proposals.

Herricks teacher talks stalled: union Continued from Page 1 Degliomini said the teachers have always supported the students and community. “We were half the room at the recent Herricks Community Fund Dinner,” which raises money for scholarships, the school district and other community programs, she pointed out. The teachers union president said the HTA did not want to take action that would hurt the community but cautioned that its crisis team “is moving forward on other action that could be taken.” Board President Juleigh Chin responded by saying that the board and the HTA have been actively engaged in negotiations for a new contract for about a year. “The board, which is represented by the district’s labor attorney, has been very involved in the negotiations process throughout,” she said in a statement released by the district. “As mutually agreed upon, the Board of Education and the HTA will now be moving on to a process called fact-finding wherein the parties will receive further assistance to reach an amicable settlement.” She said the Public Employment Relations Board appoints a neutral party as fact-finder who hears the positions of both parties. “The Board of Education remains committed to reaching a fair contract settlement with the HTA and reiterates that it respects and values all teachers in the district. The board is hopeful that the next step in the process will result in an equitable resolution to this matter for all involved,” Chin said. Meanwhile, the board meeting opened with the administration announcing that two Herricks High School students were winners of the National Merit Scholarship

Members of Girl Scout Troop 1434 visit the Herricks Board of Education meeting as part of the requirements for the government merit badge. out of the 10 Herricks students who were named as National Merit finalists in February. The winners will be publicly announced in May. Additionally, the district for at least the third consecutive year was named one of the best communities for music education by the National Association of Music Merchants Foundation. The board meeting focused on the school district’s proposed budget for 201920, anticipating a spending increase of 2.75 percent and an increased tax levy of 2.21 percent, which is within the tax cap for the district, Assistant Superintendent for Business Lisa Rutkoske said. Superintendent Fino Celano said the budget maintains all academic programs

and subjects and extracurricular activities. He said the achievement levels of Herricks students are among the highest “of any district on Long Island, in New York state and the nation.” Additionally, the district has one of the lowest expenditures per pupil among similar high-achieving districts, he said. The total proposed budget is $117.5 million, an increase of $3.2 million from the current year. Student programs account for $88.1 million, or 75 percent, of the spending, capital spending for facilities is proposed at $16.8 million, or 14 percent, and administration costs are $12.7 million, or 11 percent. Current enrollment of 3,980 is down by

2 percent from last year but is expected to be steady for 2019-20, Celano said. Property taxes account for most of the district’s revenue, while state aid is the second largest source of funding, but provides only 10 percent of the total. Aid is expected to increase by 4.5 percent, mostly based on expenses. The so-called foundation aid that is determined by a state formula is slated to increase by only $27,564 or 0.4 percent. The aid formula was devised in 2007 and suspended the following year because of the 2008 financial crisis. The district estimates that the state is underfunding its own formula for Herricks by $5.5 million, Rutkoske said, and the district still has to comply with unfunded mandates from the state and federal governments. Rutkoske noted that the presented budget was a “draft work in progress.”" Further discussions were scheduled for Thursday, the board was expected to adopt the budget. A budget hearing will be held May 9 and the vote is May 21. Members of Girl Scout Troop 1434 were on hand for the public comment section of the meeting. Troop Leader Madeline Svitak explained that the Scouts – fifth-graders from Center Street School – came to the meeting prepared to ask questions of the board as part of the requirements for their government badge. “They brainstormed the questions and came up with some issues,” Svitak said, such as “why do we have to take state tests?” Celano said the federal government requires the tests and “if done well they give us an idea of how you are doing. I know it’s stressful.” Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Elizabeth Guercin added an upbeat comment: “The tests are getting better.”

Sater sued for alleged money laundering Continued from Page 4 Robert Wolf, Sater’s attorney, told Newsweek that the lawsuit is to counteract Sater suing BTA Bank for failing to pay $10 million owed to his asset recovery company, Litco. Arnie Herz, a lawyer in Port Washington whose oﬃce is located at the Vanderventer address that the lawsuit lists as the address for Syracuse Center LLC, said in an email to Blank Slate Media that the lawsuit was incorrect about the address. He said the oﬃce for the Syracuse Center was maintained at 45 Rockefeller Center, Suite 2300 in New York City, and his address

was only used for the service of process. “I form dozens of companies a year. The NY Secretary of State requires an address for Service of Process and lawyers often provide this service,” he said. “I have many companies for which I am the Agent for Service of Process. It is a ministerial task.” He said the lawsuit is misleading and trying to create a connection. Herz added that he was removed as the agent for service of process a long time ago. Sater, who came here under refugee status from Russia," began working on Wall Street after dropping out of Pace University.

After an altercation where Sater stabbed one of his competitors in the face using the stem of a broken margarita glass, which resulted in jail time, Sater also lost his broker license. To stay in the finance business, Sater became involved with illicit Wall Street activities to which he pleaded guilty to multiple counts of racketeering in 1998. Sater was then enlisted as an FBI informant and “provided crucial intelligence information and assistance to numerous U.S. national security, intelligence and law enforcement agencies,” he said in a statement provided to the House Intelligence Committee"in December 2017.

Sater has also been identified by multiple news outlets as ‘Individual-2’ in the Mueller report. He is described as Cohen’s main contact in Russia during the negotiations for a Trump Tower in Moscow. Sater moved from Port Washington to Los Angeles, and shipped his Porsche to meet him there, in February 2018. He sold his home in Sands Point for just over $2 million in" February. He was a large contributor to the Chabad of Port Washington, where he served on the organization’s board of directors and was named Man of the Year in 2014.

High schoolers enter a county shark tank Continued from Page 13 despite its being the face-oﬀ for top prize, was not as bad, they said. “As we kept on presenting, it did get a lot easier,” said Isha Ilyas. Since Schnirman assumed the role of comptroller last year and inherited the event, he has centered it on civic innova-

tion, he said. Students had to pitch businesses or nonprofits that fit into the categories of either “social entrepreneurship” or technology, and each team had to include how its business would give back to the local community. Charles Merlis, a student at North

Shore High School, had never participated in a Shark Tank-esque event before. He is interested in going into business, he said, and was on a team that pitched an SAT tutoring service for low-income families. “It’s good to practice in front of people, being judged,” Merlis said.

Before announcing the team rankings, Schnirman asked the students whether, given the opportunity, they would want to bring their idea to fruition. A sea of hands went up. “Awesome,” Schnirman said. “That is awesome.”

OUR TOWN

Jealousy in sports and damage it can do One of the dirtiest little secrets in sports is the existence of jealousy. I have witnessed this emotion rear its ugly head in youth sports, in high school settings and in the pro ranks. Little is written about jealousy in sports perhaps because it’s so surprising and even shameful to the victims of jealousy and envy. Tiﬀeny Milbrett is a Hall of Fame star but when she was a youngster she was just a blonde haired and sweet child prodigy who was 11 years old. She dominated every game she was in, and a parent on the opposing team became so enraged by her talent that she came on the field after a game and kicked Milbrett in the stomach. Another player I have worked with came to see me after his career had been decimated thanks to the jealousy of an older team member. He was a professional athlete who made a big splash in his rookie year which was a year where the team’s major superstar was sidelined with an injury. At the beginning of my patient’s second season, the superstar was to return to playing and instructed the coach to either trade my patient or trade him. High level competitive athletes are often prone to jealousy and want no teammate to get too much press. The genius of Phil Jackson was his ability to prepare his

However, Jackson was one of the and begin to back oﬀ from success. This also happens in families with an greatest coaches of all time. One doubts whether the average coach on Long Island intellectually gifted child. If the parents will have the same ability. This, of course, become jealous of the child’s gifts the results in the acting out of jealousy and child will begin to dumb it down and this the sabotage of the most gifted athlete on is sometimes causing a learning disability. The long-term impact of jealousy is the team. Jealousy unfolds both directly or sub- powerful as well. I have known a patient tly. The gifted player may all of a sudden who was very gifted academically and the be criticized and singled out for public result was that she was ostracized from shame by the coach or by other players. her peer group in high school.

ling rivalry but when a sibling is extremely gifted that rivalry can turn sinister and abusive, creating depression and anxiety in the gifted sibling which lasts for years and can only be resolved with psychotherapy. The current college recruitment scandal now making headlines is a good example of the lengths people will go to beat out others and one of the dynamics that has fueled that scandal is feeling of jealousy and the need to win at all costs. If you feel that your child is experiencing unfair jealousy based upon their talents you need to step in. It is wise to give your child a chance to ventilate their confusion and sadness over this. You need to tell them that they need to stay focused and not shy away from good performance. And if the issue continues it may be wise to talk to the coach about your concerns as well. We all like to think that talent and great performance is met with applause and admiration. Rarely do we want to believe that teammates are resentful, envious or jealous. But as I explained above, jealousy and envy are common traits and, sadly, the most talented among us are usual victims of jealousy. Perhaps that is what they mean when they say “it’s lonely at the top.”

Response curtailed at GCP firehouse: ex chief Continued from Page 2 opted as our own, is mandating that all qualified members respond to one firehouse where most apparatus and equipment are located.” Garden City Fire District’s Station 2 has two fire engines and one ambulance, with the only difference from headquarters being the lack of a ladder truck with heavy rescue capabilities, according to people familiar with the matter. Residents were confused as to how often Station 2 was being used. Most of them thought it was closed while some thought it was inactive during certain hours, but the board and Second Assistant Chief Roland Sarracco were adamant in saying that the station is operating at all times.“It’s not closed and under certain circumstances, there can be a response out of that station,” Sarracco said. The circumstances are a new response policy begun in October that requires that three volunteer firefighters and a chauffeur be present at Station 2 for there to be a response, which doesn’t happen often according to people familiar with the matter. Otherwise, officers must drive their own cars with their response equipment in the trunk to district headquarters 1.3 miles south. The ambulance at the station is also not allowed to respond to calls during the same hours unless a chauffeur and a medical technician are both present. If not, volunteers must report to headquarters first to respond to the call even if

the call is coming from the northern part of the district. Ginger Reime, a teacher’s aide for the Herricks school district, only found out two days before the meeting that the firehouse that responds to emergencies in some of the district’s schools would not operate in many emergencies during school hours. “If the schools call, you’ll respond?” Reime asked Sarracco. “Because I don’t think we’re aware of this.” Sarracco went on to say firefighters are aware of the new policy response procedure. Under the policy, if an emergency situation were to occur between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. at the Denton Avenue School, Herricks High School or the four other schools the fire district covers, volunteers present at Station 2 must drive 1.3 miles south through one stop sign and five traﬃc lights to make it to headquarters, to then respond to the emergency. That’s a five-to-10-minute drive to headquarters depending on traﬃc. The same scenario would occur in any emergency response in the northern part of the district. A resident in his late 50s said he was confounded as to why a centrally located firehouse like Station 2 would be limited in operations.“When you have a firehouse sitting in the middle of the district, why would you pick a firehouse that’s further away?” he said. In the case of ambulance responses, due to nearly all fire dis-

trict personnel working on a volunteer basis, there are times no EMS volunteer is available in the district to respond to an emergency. In this case, neighboring districts respond to the call through a system of mutual aid under which Nassau County can respond as well, which takes longer. Answering emergency responses quickly has been Carnevale’s concern for years. He requested that the board hire a paid medic to be on standby at the station when he was chief of department in 2017 so medical emergencies could be tended to more quickly. “In 2018 I believe you guys said you were going to go for it,” said Carnevale. “It’s 2019. The ambulance doesn’t get out. When are we getting a medic?” Carnevale said when minutes make the diﬀerence between life or death, the board should have hired a paid EMS a long time ago to be on call. “This is an emergency situation we’re talking about,” said Carnevale. “You’re supposed to protect the district, the people living in it.” Kenneth Borchers, one of three commissioners that make up the board of the Garden City Park Water and Fire District, said they didn’t approve Carnevale’s request in 2017. “It was discussed and it’s going through the motions now that we are getting a medic,” said Borchers. Water Superintendent Michael Levy said the appropriate people

were in the process of researching a coordinator, setting policies and procedures, getting civil service approvals and other requirements necessary to submit a plan for approval by the board. Commissioner Chris Engel said despite ongoing requests for a paid medic, getting the paperwork done to bring one on board takes time. Levy said: “It is budgeted for this year. We are hopeful that shortly within four to five months that we have a medic on staﬀ.” Former Garden City Park Fire Department assistant chief and construction safety oﬃcer Matt Flood said: “It’s been brought up for two years prior to Chief Carnevale and the exact words from the Board of Commissioners were ‘We’re going to investigate and inspect with New Hyde Park.’# You’ve had two, three, four, going on five years to investigate this.” “That’s not accurate,” Engel said. “It is accurate, call the minutes,” said Flood. “You’re lying to the public.” “That’s your opinion,” Engel said. Without a paid EMS on call at the Garden City Park district, the two ambulances are mostly inactive during school hours unless a volunteer is available to respond to#headquarters. The commissioners told the public the main problem with emergency responses is fewer shift workers and volunteers because

they work during the day and may not always be available to respond to calls. “It’s not a cost-saving problem, but a manpower problem,” said Engel. According to Deputy County Fire Coordinator for the Nassau County Fire Service Michael Uttaro, fewer than 10,000 county residents are firefighters and EMS volunteers who cover a population of 1.4 million. That’s a ratio of one emergency volunteer per 140 residents. Nina Bitsko said if the problem is finding volunteers, the department should make it easier for them to operate. She said firefighter volunteers like her son need extra gas to drive extra miles and make an extra eﬀort to perform their duties. “You’re saying it’s hard to volunteer. Let’s keep track of this and help the volunteer,” Bitsko said. Uttaro, who is also an assistant chief fire marshal, said chiefs have the final call to make decisions as they wish and each of the 71 fire departments in Nassau County can operate diﬀerently due to the circumstances of their communities. In his email, Nacewicz said:# “First and foremost, substation #2 ... is not and has never been ‘closed.’ If at any time qualified firefighters or medical personnel as per our written policy, are present in substation #2 at the time of an alarm, those members will respond to that alarm using apparatus from that building.”

5-assessment phase-in, congestion pricing Continued from Page 3 critical because it means new train cars, station upgrades and improvements to the nuts and bolts of the railroad system that have been disregarded for too long. School aid was increased by $1 billion, bringing the total to $27.9 billion. The majority of the increased funding, 70 percent, will go to poorer school districts. State Sen. John Brooks (DSeaford) said Long Island made out with $1 billion more school aid this year than the region had last year. “That is a significant accomplishment when you recognize the state of our economy and the challenges we are facing in this state as a result of changes in our tax laws,” he said. State Assemblyman Ed Ra (RFranklin Square), in an interview, exhibited less enthusiasm about the enacted state budget, one of the reasons being school funding. He said he spoke with a local superintendent who said the dis-

trict was receiving less in the enacted budget than was allocated in the proposed budget. Ra said this is a mishap that he never saw in any of the eight previous budget cycles he has been involved in. The state Legislature also approved a $208 million increase in higher education funding, which now totals $7.7 billion; raising the annual household income cap to qualify for the state’s free tuition program to $125,000 from $110,000; expanding the state’s universal prekindergarten program by adding $15 million in funding; an additional $10 million for the state’s after-school program, which will create 6,250 new slots in high-need communities across the state; $3 million to recruit 250 new teacher candidates who are from minority groups; $5.8 million to subsidize the cost of Advanced Placement courses for students in poverty; $1.5 million to create advanced courses in districts that have few or none; $1.5 million to fund additional master teachers for schools

with high teacher turnover; and protections for student loan borrowers by licensing companies that service student loans. The budget also included full funding of the late state Sen. Jose Peralta’s Dream Act, which will give undocumented immigrants access to various financial assistance programs for higher education. Some other revenue-gaining initiatives in the newly approved budget include a mansion tax, which will add a 4.15 percent tax on the sale of homes valued over $25 million, and implementing a framework to collect internet sales tax, which is expected to accrue $480 million that would be spent on the MTA capital plan or allocated toward local governments. A number of reforms to the criminal justice system were passed along with the budget. Cash bail will be eliminated for misdemeanors and nonviolent felonies in order to reduce the number of people held in jail

before trial. Police oﬃcers will be required to issue desk appearance tickets to the majority of people charged with misdemeanors or Class E felonies. The statement from the governor’s oﬃce estimates that 90 percent of people who are charged with a crime will remain out of jail until their court date. Some other criminal justice changes include legislation to cut down the number of people held in jail when awaiting their trial by reducing delays in local courts, requiring all seized assets to be held in an independent account, demanding law enforcement agencies have a use-of-force policy and to report any use-of-force incidents, transforming the use of solitary confinement in state prisons, and eliminating provisions that inhibit formerly incarcerated individuals’ ability to reintegrate into society. Up to three state prisons will also be shuttered, which is expected to save about $35 million

annually. A resolution to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in the state was not included in the budget. Kaplan said that this was a tough budget year for New York state. “The federal government’s assault on New York taxpayers has had a big impact on our revenues,” she said. “But I am proud to say we went to Albany to fight for Long Island, to get its fair share and this budget delivers on the priority of our constituents.” Ra said the budget has negatives that will not be good for Long Island residents, such as the decreased state aid to municipalities and there being no money allocated to the state’s Extreme Winter Recovery fund. He attributed the issues to a lack of political balance in the state Legislature. He also said that he thinks the governor took advantage of the wave of newcomers in the state government in order to push through the initiatives he wanted.
