Residents source of traffic issues: Ehrbar Says 23 moving violations issued BY TOM M CC A RT HY

PHOTO BY TOM MCCARTHY

Williston Park Mayor Paul Ehrbar said that residents are the main source of traffic violations in the village.

Williston Park Mayor Paul Ehrbar said Monday that it is not outsiders that are the cause of an ongoing issue of drivers running stop signs in the village, it is the residents. “It’s our own residents. We need to be cautious while we’re driving. We need to slow down,” Ehrbar said at a Board of Trustees meeting. “We need to try our best to send our messages to our neighbors.” He continued, “Some residents follow the rules and some residents don’t.” Ehrbar said that he gets frus-

trated seeing drivers go through stop signs and not slowing down. He said he goes to Texas to see his grandchildren and notices that everybody stops at stop signs and red lights and slows down in school zones. “They just have a diﬀerent way of doing things than we do in New York. In New York, we’re in a hurry to get everywhere,” Ehrbar said. Bob Mitchell, president of the Williston Park Civic Association, commended the board and the Nassau County Police Department’s 3rd Precinct for issuing 23 moving violations in the past month.

Honoring vet bearing scars of combat BY J OH N N U G E N T The Mineola Board of Trustees and local veterans groups honored U.S. Army Sgt. Brendan Marrocco at a

Board of Trustees meeting last Wednesday. Sgt. Marrocco lost both arms and both legs in combat in Afghanistan in 2009. Local Korean War veteran

Bill Urianek, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps, said he spearheaded a drive to raise money for Marrocco to help with his expenses. Urianek, who is known around Mineola as “Bill the Can Man,” has collected more than 1,150,000 cans and bottles since 2004 and has donated all the proceeds to veteran

causes. Urianek said he mobilized several local veteran organizations to raise funds for Marrocco. He said that children from the Elmont and Baldwin school districts and the Veterans of Foreign Wars post in Bellmore collected 400,000 cans in support of Marrocco. Ken Findlay, past com-

mander of American Legion Post 1033 in Elmont, who attended the ceremony with several of his fellow post members, said of Marrocco, “We take care of our own.” Also in attendance were members of American Legion Post 349 in Mineola and a group of U.S. Marine Corps veterans. Continued on Page 75

Town mum on Clinton Using virtual reality Martin suit at debate in dementia fight Litigation is proceeding, no comment: Bosworth

Herricks program adds new technology BY TOM M CC A RT HY

North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and challenger David Redmond at the League of Women Voters’ candidates forum in Manhasset. BY R O S E W E L D ON Town of North Hempstead council members and Supervisor Judi Bosworth remained quiet on the controversy over the renovation at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park at a candidates’ night event in Manhasset. The supervisor and council members joined their opponents in a question-and-answer forum for those running for seats in Nassau County and the Town of North Hempstead last Thursday at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Port Washington-Manhasset. Audience members at the event were invited to submit questions for each of the positions, with the seven candidates for three seats on the North Hempstead Town Board questioned together. During the session with candidates for town supervisor, the moderator read a submitted

question: “The town is currently in court with the contractor who made repairs on Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park. What would you do in the future so that this does not occur with future town projects?” The town is currently involved in litigation with contractor Gramercy Group, which claimed that it is owed over $2 million because of change orders from the town. “Because we are in litigation, I can’t really comment on Clinton G. Martin Park,” Bosworth said. “We’ve asked anybody involved with the town not to do that.” Bosworth pointed out that the park has been open for two seasons following renovations and remarked that the town has had “so many town projects that have gone successfully.” Her Republican challenger, David Redmond, said in response to the question that the project had been “managed terribly.” “[The town] picked a con-

tractor who had previous legal trouble, so they had good cause not to select them, even though they were the lowest bidder,” Redmond said. “Now [the contractor is] bankrupt, and that’s in litigation, which is avoidable. I would change it by having due diligence and finding proper contractors, and make sure that there’s no reason why the lowest bidder is the lowest bidder.” The seven candidates for three districts on the Town Board were the last group brought on. Democratic Councilman Peter Zuckerman, running for re-election to his 2nd District seat, echoed Bosworth in one of his remarks in stating that he could not comment on Clinton Martin Park, since it was still in litigation. Fellow Democratic Councilwoman Veronica Lurvey also declined to comment on the park for the same reason. “Sometimes there are projects that have diﬃculties, and we’re always looking for better ways of doing that,” Bosworth said.

Through virtual reality, the Alzheimer’s patients traveled to foreign lands, skydived, drove fast cars and Blue Angel planes, went on safari, watched thrilling sporting events and rafted on white water. They were participating in the Herricks Alzheimer’s Program, which had a successful test run with patients playing virtual reality games, according to Annamaria Testa, assistant program coordinator. The program will begin trying to implement virtual reality games into its rotation of activities with patients, she said. “It was great,” Testa said. “But it’s a bit expensive.” Testa said that the program “Our Space,” which she said is a “social model” for adult day care, is “working out a deal” with Virtu-Well President Harrison Nogin to have people come in a couple of times a

year to let patients play virtual reality games. Testa said that the first visit was a “freebie” for the program to consider using funds to pay for VirtuWell’s services. Testa said that Nogin takes his programs to assisted living facilities to treat dementia patients. Studies have shown that virtual reality may be effective in addressing issues targeted by traditional recreational therapies like music therapy, including anxiety reduction, combating boredom, stress reduction, alleviating depression and simply providing entertainment, Testa said. “Our purpose is to engage them,” she said of the program. Testa said that one patient’s program involved a tour of Italy, reminding the patient of a past trip. Testa warned, however, that these recreational exercises can trigger bad exContinued on Page 75

Hgts. native Giorno, poet, dies at 82 Pioneered spoken word medium, worked with underground art community, including Warhol BY R O S E W E L D ON John Giorno, the poet, visual artist and philanthropist who grew up in Roslyn Heights and was a pioneer in the spoken word medium for poetry, has died. He was 82. Giorno’s career saw him work with underground figures like author William S. Burroughs, performance artist Laurie Anderson and pop artist Andy Warhol, with whom Giorno had a romantic relationship in the early 1960s. Giorno died from a heart attack in his Manhattan home on Oct. 11. Born in New York City, Giorno was the only child of immigrant parents who moved to Roslyn Heights and then Brooklyn, where he graduated from James Madison High School in Sheepshead Bay. Originally employed as a stockbroker after graduating from Columbia University, Giorno befriended artists in the Greenwich Village scene in the late 1950s and began dating Warhol in 1962 after meeting him at a gallery opening. A year later, the artist filmed Giorno sleeping for one of his first movies, the fivehour “Sleep.” After ending his romantic relationship with Warhol, in 1965 Giorno cre-

ated the not-for-profit Giorno Poetry Systems, an artists’ collective and record label which recorded and distributed his works and those of his contemporaries as spoken word. Years later, inspired by a conversation with Burroughs, then known for his controversial book “Naked Lunch,” Giorno created Dial-A-Poem, where callers could listen to recitations of poems by Allen Ginsberg, John Cage, Anne Waldmen and more, all performed by the poets themselves. Dial-A-Poem was installed at the Museum of Modern Art in 1970 as part of its “Information” exhibit, and evolved over time to feature other poets. In the 1980s, Giorno became heavily involved in outreach towards AIDS patients, and according to The Guardian, Giorno Poetry Systems made emergency grants to those who fell ill from 1983 onward. He also worked more frequently, releasing an album with Burroughs and Anderson in 1981 called “You’re the Guy I Want To Share My Money With.” At the time of his death, Giorno was completing a memoir entitled “Great Demon Kings,” which is scheduled to be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux, according to The New York Times. He is survived by his husband, the Swiss-born mixed media artist Ugo Rondinone.

Ra proposing assessment ‘relief’ bill GOP says legislation will help residents overpaying property tax: Dems call bill ‘a stunt’ BY TOM M CC A RT HY

Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Garden City South) said that legislation he unveiled Tuesday would provide a personal income tax credit to homeowners who will see a property tax decrease but, because of the county executive’s phase-in plan, would not see their full reduction for five years. Ra said that the legislation would allow residents to see the relief right away. The phase-in would spread those increases over five years but for residents whose taxes will be going down, they will continue to overpay for five years, Ra said, under the measure passed by the New York Legislature. Opponents of the legislation called it a tactic to delay approving County Executive Laura Curran’s proposed five-year phase-in of new assessment tax increases caused by the recent reassessment in Nassau County. The phase-in would spread those increases over five years but for residents whose taxes will be going down, they will continue to overpay for five additional years, GOP spokesman Christopher Boyle said. “Long Island sends Billions of dollars more to Albany than we receive,” county Legislator William Gaylor (R-Lynbrook) said in a news release. “In the County Executive’s proposed phase-in, residents whose taxes are going up will be aided by not having

Boyle said. Christine Geed, a spokesman for Curran, called Ra’s legislation “a stunt with no possibility of passage” and another distraction delaying action on Curran’s “Taxpayer Protection Plan.” “Ed Mangano and Nassau County Republicans decimated and corrupted the County’s assessment system at the expense of taxpayers,” Geed said via email. “Expecting residents of New York state to bail out Nassau County is foolish.” Geed said that it is time for the Nassau GOP to “take responsibility, stop stalling” and support Curran’s plan. William Biamonte, chief of staﬀ for the county Legislature’s minority caucus, said that if the majority was “truly concerned’ about providing relief to county taxpayers then it would have raised this issue “months ago” during the state budget process. “Instead, two weeks before an election, they’re grandstanding on a bill that will never pass,” Biamonte said. He said that the legislative majority could “make a positive diﬀerence” by enacting Curran’s phase-in plan. “After a decade of being complicit in Mangano’s assessment malfeasance, it’s time to finally put taxpayers first and clean up the mess they helped make,” Biamonte said.

Zuckerman, Lems clash on building dept. Councilman says more added examiners added, Green Party candidate says ‘not good enough’ BY R O S E W E L D ON Two-term Town of North Hempstead Councilman Peter Zuckerman (D-Roslyn) and Green Party opponent Cassandra Lems diﬀered in recent interviews over whether enough has been done to improve the Building Department. Zuckerman and Lems, who are running in the 2nd District, sat down for separate interviews with Blank Slate Media. The Republican candidate, Ragini Srivastavra, was not available for an interview. The 2nd District encompasses Albertson, East Hills, East Williston, Glenwood Landing, Greenvale, Herricks, Manhasset Hills, Roslyn Harbor, Roslyn Heights and Searingtown. “Since myself and Supervisor [Judi] Bosworth came in to office here in North Hempstead, we made it a point to try to improve the procedural items relating to the Building Department,” Zuckerman said. “We’ve added more examiners, we have an applicant advocate. We’re trying to make things more eﬃcient and more user-friendly. I realize it’s not a perfect situation but we’re trying to make it better

For the ninth consecutive year, the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck will hold its International Film Festival throughout the Town of North Hempstead. With a wide variety of films and familyfriendly activities, the director of the festival, Caroline Sorokoff, said she cannot pick just one aspect to highlight. “For this year specifically, I think you have to start with opening night and Ben Vereen,” Sorokoff said. “We’re talking about this insanely talented performer that the younger generation may not even know of. Seeing him on stage and having the public get a glimpse of him live is going to be such a treat.” Vereen, who is known for his roles in Broadway productions such as “Pippin” and “Jesus Christ Superstar,” will receive the Gold Coast Arts Center’s Lifetime Achievement Award. The ceremony, which takes place at the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts in Brookville on Monday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m., kicks off the nine-day festival. The Tilles Center is just one of the venues that will be featured over the course of the festival. Others include the Squire Theatre in Great Neck, Soundview Cinemas in Port Washington, the Sid Jacobson JCC and even local libraries. “People hear about the major film festivals like Tribeca and Sundance,” Sorokoff said. “What people may not realize is that we are able to screen films that make appearances at those festivals. The best part is, we are able to bring them right to residents’ backyards.” This year, films that feature Scarlett Johanssen, Adam Driver, Justin Long, Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Pryce and others will be shown at the festival. Several foreign films will also be shown, such as the grand jury prize winner from the Berlin

Film Festival, “By the Grace of God,” and the best screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire.” Along with traditional films, several documentaries will be shown, headlined by a piece on the epidemic of food waste, produced by the late Anthony Bourdain, titled “Wasted!” Other featured pieces touch on subject matters like the Holocaust, the Civil Rights movement, tabloid news, animal advocacy and women’s health. “So many times we have people that intend on coming to see the big-name actors and productions,” said the executive director of the Gold Coast Arts Center, Regina Gil. “Sometimes they aren’t able to purchase tickets to those, but we urge them to see some of the other films or documentaries that are lesser known. Then they walk out of those, loving it just as much, if not more, than what they initially came to see.” The films and documentaries are scheduled for weekday nights and throughout the day on weekends. On weekdays, there are events at local libraries that will show over an hour’s worth of short movies, running from one to eight minutes. The shorts are part of the family programming that the festival oﬀers, which also include a young filmmakers program, which partners with Hofstra University to highlight short films produced by local students from grades K-12. “It’s so important to not only include these family-friendly events but to also highlight what our local youth is capable of creating,” said Sorokoﬀ. “The programs are a great way to expose young families to our center and to have some creative outlets for their children on the weekdays.” Film schedules, guides, ticket purchasing and additional information can be found at https://goldcoastarts.org/filmfestival/.

NASSAU COUNTY LEGISLATURE DISTRICT 9 Includes part of New Hyde Park, Garden City Park, Mineola, Williston Park, East Williston, Albertson, Roslyn Estates, Munsey Park, Plandome Heights, Plandome, Plandome Manor, Floral Park

Nicolello a clear but imperfect choice Richard Nicolello versus Mal Nathan Nassau County Legislator Richard Nicolello (R-New Hyde Park) is the clear choice in his race for election in District 9, which covers parts of New Hyde Park, Garden City Park, Mineola, the Willistons and Albertson, and parts of Roslyn and Manhasset. Nicolello was picked by the Republican majority two years ago as presiding oﬃcer, the top position in the Legislature, based on service that goes back to 1996, a deep knowledge of Nassau and a strong ability to work with oﬃcials on both sides of the aisle. His Democratic opponent, Mal Nathan, the chief bay constable for the Town of North Hempstead, is mounting his

third consecutive challenge against Nicolello. He oﬀers a common-sense approach to issues, but lacks his opponent’s extensive experience, and apparently the motivation to mount an aggressive campaign. He failed to respond to the League of Women Voters questionnaire for the voters guide published in this week’s edition of Blank Slate Media and was a no-show at an important civic candidatesa night. Not a good way to garner votes against a long-established candidate. But the choice of Nicolello is not without our misgivings. Nicolello has led a highly partisan Republican response to the countywide reassessment undertaken by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran.

This has included an attempt to hold a referendum on making the county assessor position an elected position aimed at Curran’s pick of David Moog, Nassau’s first certified assessor in more than eight years, followed by repeated attempts to pass an ill-advised “Assessment Bill of Rights” that among other things would require the county assessor to live in Nassau County. Moog lives in Queens. Nicolello acknowledged in an interview that he knew of no other county department head required to live in Nassau. Nicollelo said the county assessor position was of such importance that the person holding the job had to be a Nassau resident. But this followed eight years under Republican County Executive Edward Mangano when the county did not have a certified assessor and county assessments stayed frozen. Nicolello and his Republican legislators said nothing. During this time, the Mangano administration’s practice of granting thousands of reductions to homeowners who grieved their taxes shifted $2.2 billion in taxes from generally more aﬄuent property owners who successfully appealed their property taxes over

who overpaid their taxes the past eight years should be compensated. We just don’t think that taxpayers outside Nassau should pay for Nassau’s mistakes. This is not to say that the reassessment eﬀort was without its glitches. Rebuilding the county’s assessment system after eight years of neglect was bound to have problems, some of which are still working their way through. Nicolello and his fellow Republicans do have a right and obligation to criticize problems that they see – notwithstanding their silence during the Mangano administration. But too often Republicans and Nicolello appear to be using reassessment as a political tool to advance their chances in the upcoming election rather than working to ensure a smooth transition to a system he acknowledges is fairer than the old one. On the positive side, Nicolello and county Republicans have on many, if not most, occasions set aside party labels to approve legislation like that passed on Monday giving Nassau police and correction oﬃcers access to enhanced mental health services. We hope to see more of that side of Nicolello if he wins reelection.

seven years to generally less affluent owners who did not, according to a Newsday report. At the end of the day, about 50 percent of property owners were overpaying and half were underpaying. Both Nicolello and Curran called for a five-year phase-in of the changes to spare property owners who faced in some cases steep increases in their taxes. But Nicolello has held off on a phase-in vote that might reduce some of the anxiety for taxpayers facing increases. Instead, he joined another political gambit this week of supporting legislation proposed by state Assemblyman Ed Ra (RFranklin Square) to compensate homeowners who have been overpaying their taxes the past eight years but will only gradually see a decrease due to the phasein. This legislation asks Assembly members from across the state – from the Bronx to Buffalo – to support a measure proposed by Nassau Republicans to compensate county residents who overpaid taxes under an assessment system they oversaw. If you think that’s going to happen, we have a bridge to sell you. We don’t disagree that those

NORTH HEMPSTEAD COUNCILMEMBER DISTRICT 4 Includes Villages of Roslyn, Roslyn Estates, Munsey Park, North Hills, Great Neck, Great Neck Gardens, Kensington, Kings Point, Thomaston, and the unincorporated areas of Manhasset and Great Neck, including Great Neck Gardens and Allenwood

Lurvey proves a quick study on Town Board Veronica Lurvey versus David Chiang Veronica Lurvey has had a seat on the North Hempstead Town Board since January, but she has already developed a strong feel for the issues in District 4, which includes Great Neck and parts of Manhasset, North Hills, Roslyn Estates and Roslyn. This can be explained in part by her work as co-founder and co-president of North Shore Action, which advocates on pressing community issues such as gun violence, the opioid crisis, mental health issues, and the protection and conservation of the environment. Lurvey, a Great Neck Democrat, also oﬀers strong skills at mediating disputes honed as a lawyer at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP from 1994 to 2012,

working her way from legal assistant to counsel. These are skills needed in seeking solutions to the empty storefronts that line a Great Neck business corridor that stretches across several villages. She also has expressed an understanding of issues surrounding development including the town’s Building Department and local zoning as well as a willingness to participate in building a consensus for redevelopment issues. Lurvey is opposed by David Chiang, a Manhasset Republican, who promises to “shake things up” if elected to the Town Board. Chiang, who worked in the finance industry before becoming a stay-at-home father nine years ago, said the town council has been dominated by lawyers and would

Veronica Lurvey benefit from his background in financial services in keeping expenses down. He said as a Chinese-American in a

district that is 18 percent Asian he also would offer a different perspective to the council that would bring more people into the political process. One of the aspects of the town that Chiang looks to immediately address is the “inefficiency” of the Building Department. “I think we need to put people in there that are more efficient,” he said. “I feel like a lot of these jobs are given to people who know people. I would definitely re-evaluate these people and make sure they are professionals who are running this department efficiently.” He also offers a welcome call for government to treat local businesses as partners and find ways to speed up the process of opening a store. Blank Slate Media endorses Lurvey.

NORTH HEMPSTEAD COUNCILMEMBER DISTRICT 6 Includes Port Washington, including the villages of Baxter Estates, Manorhaven, Port Washington North, and Sands Point. It also includes the villages of Flower Hill, Plandome, Plandome Heights, and Plandome Manor

2 good choices for Town Board’s District 6 Dina De Giorgio versus Mariann Dalimonte The race for North Hempstead District 6 council member pits a challenger with extensive involvement in a wide number of community organizations versus a wellversed and independent incumbent who has served the community well for seven years. District 6 residents will be well-served if either incumbent Dina De Giorgio, a Republican, or her opponent, Democrat Mariann Dalimonte, is elected. De Giorgio, a lawyer living in Port Washington, has a strong grasp of the issues facing Port Washington and the villages in Manhasset beginning with the rezoning of the Port Washington Waterfront District and downtown revitalization. The president of the Port Washington Business Improvement District, where Dalimonte serves as executive director, singled De Giorgio out by name this week in a letter to the editor for her help with improvements made to the business district by the town.

Dina De Giorgio

Mariann Dalimonte

As a Republican on a board with a Democratic majority, De Giorgio has also demonstrated a willingness to rock the boat on occasion as when she said that Town Supervisor Judi Bosworth had broken with what De Giorgio said was past practice and not disclosed serious overruns on the Clinton G. Martin pool project to all council members. Bosworth and other Town Board

members cited ongoing litigation with the contractor in declining to respond to De Giorgio’s complaint. De Giorgio has also been more willing than her fellow council members to express criticism of the often-maligned town Building Department. Dalimonte has served in leadership positions on a number of school and community organizations.

In doing so, she has developed a strong network of contacts that together with her position on the BID gives her a good understanding of business development issues and the ability to build a consensus in an eﬀort to develop solutions. Dalimonte has accused De Giorgio of not being transparent or inclusive in addressing issues such as the Port Washington Waterfront District where she said her Republican opponent failed to meet with merchants or hold a community De Giorgio has denied the charge, calling it “ridiculous.” De Giorgio said she had held meetings with groups such as the Port Washington Waterfront Association and Residents Forward, among other groups. Dalimonte and De Giorgio both cite the need to build consensus in determining the way forward for zoning changes in the waterfront district and along Main Street. And both favor a go-slow approach to those issues. We believe it is a toss-up of who would do the better job in building that consensus and representing the 6th District.

NORTH HEMPSTEAD RECEIVER OF TAXES

Berman the right receiver of taxes for this time Charles Berman versus Ron Rochester You would be hard pressed to find a person with a better background for the job of Town of North Hempstead receiver of taxes than Charles Berman at a time when taxpayers face uncertainty over the countywide reassessment and possible changes from the state in response to the federal cap on the deduction of state and local taxes. Berman, a Roslyn Democrat, served for five years as an assistant to the Nassau County assessor from 2004 to 2009 and has served as North Hempstead receiver of taxes from 2010 to now. The knowledge that Berman absorbed during this time, along with the calm demeanor of a mental health counselor, is needed to respond to taxpayers

Charles Berman unhappy with their taxes. Berman may no longer be handling reassessments, but it certainly helps that

he understands what is being done and how taxpayers can respond. He has shared this knowledge with seminars for everyone but wisely focused his eﬀorts on seniors who often are the most hard-pressed to cope with a property tax system not based on someone’s ability to pay. Berman has also kept up with the times by overhauling the town’s website and allowing for online payments. When Gov. Andrew Cuomo encouraged taxpayers to pay their taxes early to avoid the federal tax cap on state and local taxes, Berman stayed late and opened the department’s doors on weekends to accommodate the crush of people seeking to take advantage of the service. Berman is opposed by Ron Roches-

ter, a Port Washington Republican. Rochester, a former U.S. Treasury Department special agent who now works as a consultant, calls for the expansion of online payment services to include autopay and possible collaboration with villages in an eﬀort to save money. These seem like ideas worth exploring. On the negative side, Rochester called the county’s reassessment of all properties “a backdoor tax.” That is simply not true. Reassessment only changes what is paid by whom. It does not change the total amount collected. A tax receiver should know this and, if he does, certainly should not say this. At this time, taxpayers need the facts – not misinformation. Blank Slate Media endorses Berman.

OUT OF LEFT FIELD

Fitting all of America into one room

f course, America can’t fit in one room – unless one adapts the creative approach of Stanford professors James Fishkin and Larry Diamond. They raised $3 million to do the following: 1) conduct a scientific, nationwide poll that reflected all demographics; 2) get 526 registered voters to participate in the poll with the understanding that they would then assemble for four days at a resort near Dallas, Texas, and 3) cover all their travel, hotel and meal costs. No surprise that some folks thought this was a scam. But it was a reprise of a similar experiment in democratic discourse that Jim Fishkin coordinated with the Kettering Foundation in Austin, Texas in 1996. I was privileged to be part of the 1996 project and even got featured with Jim Lehrer on The News Hour of PBS. My responsibility in Austin was to serve as one of the nonpartisan forum moderators when small groups of twenty were gathered (from the hundreds assembled to “talk with strangers” – their fellow poll takers) about issues facing the nation. This September, as in 1996, each participant, after completing the poll – and booked for travel to the con-

ference – received a briefing pamphlet oﬀering a range of perspectives about policy choices. The goals in both gatherings, with the assistance of moderators, were to have these representative Americans listen to each other and weigh the costs and benefits of policy actions. Associating proposed actions with particular elected oﬃcials, candidates or political parties were minimized as much as possible. Could American citizens explore their own deeply held values while discoursing with civility? Could they listen with care while others advocated views they had not supported in their own polls? Could they also be open to reconsidering their own positions because of new evidence or analysis, and, perhaps, because they were seeing relatable fellow citizens during time spent together? On Sunday, Oct. 13 The New York Times published a special eight-page insert with two sentences on its first page: 1) “These Voters Represent All of America;” then, near the bottom of the page, surrounded by more than 500 small, individual photos: 2) “And They Spent A Weekend Together.” I was surprised that so few students and North Shore folks seem to have read this

MICHAEL D’INNOCENZO Out of Left Field section. It seems that some folks thought this was an advertising insert; they did not look beyond the first page with photos of 519 of the 526 participants. In subsequent pages, each person had a much larger photo with a listing of her or his town and state. As with my experience in 1996, this 2019 venture was a bold experiment to examine whether citizens who represented America could foster “A different kind of talk; another way to act” (an earlier motto for the Kettering National Issues Forums). We did find in 1996 – and reports offer confirmation in 2019 – that it is feasible under good circumstances to foster “a different kind of talk.” However, as you might surmise, moving folks to “another way

to act,” or to change positions during a few days, is a much bigger challenge. Still, what was evident on both of these occasions of structured democratic discourse (with goals of striving for informed deliberation that Tocqueville celebrated as found in American juries comprised of regular citizens) is that American citizens are capable of civic engagement in more civil and thoughtful ways than our highly partisan times seem to indicate. Closely related to the Fishkin-led endeavors of 2019 and 1996, I am conducting forums on Long Island in association with the Kettering Foundation. I ask participants to read a National Issues briefing booklet, “A House Divided: How Do We Get the Political System We Want? What Would We Have to Give Up to Get It?” Before considering pros, cons and trade-oﬀs of various options, forum moderators establish ground rules for fair discussions in which all folks have close to equal participation and in which the discourse focuses on proposed actions and costs, not on elected oﬃcials or political parties. The recent discussions are striking because at these forums ninety percent of folks say that the partisan politics

of 2019 are the most extreme they have ever encountered. It is also worth noting that several of these Long Island registered voters have been meeting together over extended periods of time to discuss current events. In those sessions, strong partisan positions have often been expressed, including several participants forming an activist group to prepare for the 2020 election, contending “these are not ordinary times; extraordinary steps must be taken.” A smaller percentage of folks counters that the current administration is, indeed, making America better than it was. In more than 50 years of doing current events programs at public libraries, I never experienced such partisan, outspoken divisions as in recent years. Although most of my forum participants are elders who lived through the 1960s, fewer than 10 percent regard the Vietnam era as more divisive than 2019. In light of these perceptions, further assessments can be valuable in terms of what we can learn from Fishkin’s 2019 and 1996 representative Americans, and from the continuing Long Island forums on “A House Divided?” [Please check my next column.]

Keep fusion voting in New York State

nlike most other states in the nation, New York has given official status to “third” parties for over a century. What’s more, the state’s election laws allow those parties to “cross-endorse” candidates (a/k/a Fusion voting) of the Republican and Democratic Parties, meaning that two or more parties can nominate the same candidate and that the votes cast on each of those lines are added together. New York’s rules permit any individual who can obtain at least 20,000 valid signatures of registered voters with any party affiliation to establish an independent party. If in a subsequent gubernatorial election that independent party’s candidate receives at least 50,000 votes, the party is officially recognized and automatically receives a spot on the ballot in every election for the next four years. In the 20th century, New York third parties began to gain status during the Depression years. The American Labor Party (ALP) was founded with the

approval of President Franklin Roosevelt in 1936. Roosevelt believed he would pick up votes on this line of extreme left-wingers, socialists, and progressive Republicans who could not bring themselves to vote on the line of the corrupt “Tammany Hall controlled” Democratic Party. After the Communists took over the ALP in 1954, labor union leaders pulled out and founded the New York State Liberal Party. Then, in 1962, to counter the Liberal Party and to oppose the rise of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller’s liberal Republicanism, J. Daniel Mahoney and Kiernan O’Doherty, with the blessing of William F. Buckley Jr., founded the New York State Conservative Party. Over the years, both parties provided the margin of victory for candidates they endorsed, as well as the margin of defeat for major party candidates who shunned them. For instance, in 1961, the Liberal Party provided the margin of victory for John F. Kennedy. He outpolled Nixon by

GEORGE J. MARLIN On The Right 384,000 votes thanks to the 406,176 votes he received on the Liberal Party line. Similarly, in 1994, George Pataki beat Gov. Mario Cuomo by about 200,000 votes due to the 328,000 votes cast for him on the Conservative Party Line. In 2006, the Liberal Party went out of business when its gubernatorial candidate, Andrew Cuomo, failed to receive the minimum 50,000 votes. In its stead, the Working Families Party is now the voice of the far left’s political agenda.

Its voting power is second only to the Conservative Party. Oddly, Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who accepted the WFP nomination in his 2006 race for state Attorney General and his three races for governor, and in 2014 created his own minor party, the Women’s Equality Party, is now opposed to cross-endorsements. Most political wags believe the governor is driven solely by spite because the WFP tortured him politically in 2014 and 2018 by first promoting candidates against him and later making him beg for the endorsements. To eliminate fusion voting, Cuomo has established another commission, stacked with political cronies. The commission, the New York Times has written, “must write a report with its proposed changes by Dec. 1. Those proposals would become law unless they are modified by state lawmakers within 20 days.” Fortunately, for all New Yorkers, Conservative Party and WFP leaders have each filed suits to stop the governor’s crass political move. Conservative Party State

Chairman Gerard Kassar, rightfully pointed out that the governor’s sham commission is “attempting to shut down political dissent.” “Fusion voting,” Kassar said, “permits candidates to run on more than one ballot line, allowing voters to cast nuanced votes by supporting chosen candidates on ballot lines with which they most ideologically agree.” As a member of the Conservative Party, its 1993 N.Y. City mayoral candidate, and the author of “Fighting the Good Fight: A History of the N.Y. Conservative Party,” I am certainly biased in this matter. Hence, I’m pleased the Conservative Party and WFP are fighting to stop Cuomo’s endrun around the state constitutionally held-up practice of fusion voting. It is my hope they prevail because voters need minor parties to register their anger and frustration at major party pols who stand for nothing more than maintaining power for its own sake.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

A tale of two cooks in the kitchen

nce upon a time, there was a woman who owned a lot of pots and pans. She didn’t exactly enjoy cooking, but what she liked less than cooking was trying to cook with the wrong equipment… so somehow she had ended up with a lot of stuﬀ. This would not be a problem, except that her kitchen — indeed, her entire house — was very small, and couldn’t hold all the pots, pans, spatulas, and ladles that she had acquired over the years. It so happened that this woman had a son, and he hated clutter. He was always trying to neaten his mother’s kitchen, putting the pots away. Trying and failing: “Darn! I can’t shut this cabinet door, now that all the mixing bowls are behind it,” he would complain. “Now you know why they were always out on the counter,” his mother would reply. But this didn’t stop him. Every time he was home, even for

just a few days, he would try to put pots in the cupboard, or in a cabinet, or anywhere out of sight. And this would always work … until it was time to cook dinner, and nobody could find the big pasta pot. “Ugh, it’s at the bottom of this huge stack,” he would say. “Do I have to pull them all out?” “No,” his mother would reply. “Only if you want pasta. How did it get there, anyway? I always leave it out on the stove.” And so they both grumbled, and pots would clatter to the floor, and no one was happy. Not even Daddy, who was trying to write software for equipment that people had donated to his Museum of Obsolete Computing Formats. Then one day the son came up with a scheme. “Mom,” he said, “Someday soon I’ll be moving out to my own apartment, and I’m afraid I won’t have anything to cook with,

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side and I might starve to death. What shall I do?” “No son of mine can be allowed to starve to death!” said the mom. And she pulled out the pot she always used for cooking hard-boiled eggs, and gave it to her son. “Wow, thanks, Mom, but don’t you need this?” he said, tucking the pot into a box he had set up in a corner of the living room.

“It’s all right, I have plenty of other pots I can use for boiling eggs,” she replied. “Just be sure you use it in good health.” A few days passed, during which nobody starved to death. Then the son spoke up again. “Say, Mom,” he said, “You know what goes great with the start of fall? Mulled cider. I’d like to make some for you, but I don’t know which pot to use.” “Try this one,” said the mother, taking one from a stack on the kitchen table. “It’s just the right size.” The son made some mulled cider, and everyone enjoyed it. Then he said, “You know, I’d love to be able to make some for friends at my new apartment, whenever I get one, and mulled cider would be just the thing. Do you have another pot like this one?” “Oh, just take that one. I haven’t used it since the last time you were here and made mulled cider.” So the mulled-cider pot

went into the box. A few more days went by, and the weather turned cold. “Mom, you remember how you always made stew for us, when we came in out of the snow? Those are some of my fondest memories!” “Here,” said the mother, digging out her stew pot and handing it over. “You might as well have it, nowadays I only make stew when you and your brother are here, anyway.” By the end of a month, the son had collected many diﬀerent sizes of pot, plus some mixing bowls, a roasting pan, the waﬄe iron, and both the meat and the candy thermometers. As he drove away to his new home, Mom stood in the doorway and said, “I hate to admit it, but it really is easier to find things in the kitchen, now that I’ve given so much away. What a lucky coincidence that he needed all those pots just when I was thinking of getting rid of them!”

VIEW POINT

County, town incumbents merit re-election

istening to the League of Women Voters’ Candidates Night (and thank goodness for the LWV!), I couldn’t help but think in my head of Bill Maher’s bit, “I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true.” That pretty much sums up the arguments of challengers for North Hempstead and Nassau County oﬃce this cycle, though incumbent Dina DeGeorgio, Republican, had a novel argument against her Democratic opponent, Mariann Dalimonte: “Don’t vote against me to send a message to Washington D.C., they don’t care.” Republican David Yaudoon Chiang, challenging Democrat Veronica Lurvey, dismissed the town’s Triple-A bond rating (the highest any municipality can have, which lowers interest rates and low “fiscal stress” rating (1.7 versus 72 for Nassau County, which remains under NIFA control), insisting his

background in finance (he’s been a stay-at-home father for 9 years) “uniquely” qualifies him to go through the budget to eliminate waste and increase efficiencies. What always strikes me about that argument is that they never oﬀer any example beyond a hypothetical waste in the budget. Nothing prevents him from reviewing the budget now or attending the town’s meetings, to provide an actual example where he might make cuts. Candidates take it as an indictment that young people are moving away – blaming the high cost of living – but the reality is, young people aren’t so much moving away as going oﬀ to college, perhaps grad school, and moving where they are recruited to jobs. But if “fleeing” is an indictment against governance, in fact, just the opposite is true in North Hempstead and Nassau County: the population is going

up not down, though residents repeatedly oppose development that will bring more people, especially young people. Young people might not be returning after college, but immigrants are moving in – as always. The challengers had nothing to say about any of this. Instead, they hurl dog whistles and catchphrases that could be any campaign at any time. Can

anyone name a time when people were not upset about high taxes? To me, the measure of a candidate’s worthiness is their command of specifics: the incumbents, especially North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Councilmembers Peter Zuckerman and Veronica Lurvey, County Legislators Ellen Birnbaum, Delia DeRiggiWhitton, Richard Nicolello had it, their challengers were armed with platitudes and promises. The league is applauded for giving a forum for third party candidates, so we got to hear the position of the Libertarian candidate, Blay Tarnoﬀ, challenging Democrat Delia DeRiggi-Whitton. Asked what can be done to protect poor families from being evicted by landlords seeking to gentrify their property to get higher rents, Tarnoﬀ said the answer is “make the black community wealthy. People who

are wealthy can fend for themselves, can take control, defend themselves, help themselves, help others. If you give more power, more money, more control over your lives, you will make your lives better but those things [ie rent control] insult the economy, tax the economy. The economy is where everything comes from, it’s the sun, it’s where all value comes from, it’s where everyone gets what they need to survive. You cannot help the economy by taxing it anymore you can create a wind-up doll that winds itself when it runs down, it’s physics, perpetual motion.” Were it up to Tarnoﬀ, there would be no anti-discrimination in housing or jobs or wages, no Clean Air or Clean Water Acts, no minimum wage, airplane manufacturers unleashing planes they know have a safety flaw. “I am comfortable,” Continued on Page 76

Breast cancer and the environment

ink ribbon breast cancer events and “walks for the cure” have populated every October for decades, but we have yet to make any real progress in reducing the numbers of women aﬀected by the disease. And so I thought it might be a good way to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month by considering the role the environment may be playing in the growing incidence of breast cancer. The development of breast cancer, like most cancers, is a complex interaction of genetic and lifestyle factors and myriad exposures in our environment. These exposures could come from the foods we eat, the pesticides we put on our lawns, the hormones we take for birth control and estrogen replacement therapy or the chemicals in our personal care products, or some combination of all of these and more. As Dr. Kenneth Olden, former director of the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Toxicology Program in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services once observed when asked about the causes of cancer, “Genetics loads the gun, but the environment

pulls the trigger.” So, since we know that there are suspect chemicals linked to breast cancer (and other cancers), why aren’t we doing more research in this area? There are about 85,000 chemicals in use today, yet only 7 percent of them have been tested for safety. Combinations of these chemicals, or their synergistic eﬀects, are rarely tested at all. International and national regulatory agencies have now recognized more than two hundred chemicals and radiation sources that are directly implicated in breast cancer causation. Armed with this information, we should be phasing out those chemicals known to cause cancer and genetic harm, and make this information available to women through their doctor’s oﬃces. It’s also important to know that there are certain “windows” or timing of environmental exposures that put women at considerably higher risk for developing breast cancer later in life, including fetal development, early childhood and puberty. This timing, along with the duration and pattern of exposure are at least as important as the dose.

PATTI WOOD Earth Matters

Most federal money (and money raised by most fundraising activities) goes toward the treatment of cancer or the “race for the cure.” While these goals are laudable and critically important for women and men who have already been diagnosed, we really need to invest more and focus more on preventing this devastating disease in the first place. The Precautionary Principle can guide us in this eﬀort. It states, “When an activity raises threats of harm to human health or the environment, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and eﬀect relationships are not fully established

scientifically. In this context, the proponent of an activity, rather than the public, should bear the burden of proof.” In other words, safety tests should be done in laboratories, not in our bodies. Many years ago, I worked with two breast cancer awareness groups here on Long Island on a campaign called “Prevention is the Cure.” Designed to educate women about well-studied links between certain environmental exposures and their risks for breast cancer, the campaign also focused on “pinkwashing,” the well-oiled national movement to sanitize and commercialize this real threat. “Pinkwashing” is when a company or organization promotes, sells or endorses a pink ribbon product that is known or suspected of increasing a woman’s risk of the disease. Examples of this are permanent markers, plastic water bottles, wall paints, synthetic fragrances in perfumes and body care products, waterresistant bags and umbrellas, and many other products containing known carcinogenic or estrogenmimicking chemicals. Breast Cancer Action, the organization which actively confronts pinkwashers, urges people

to ask the following questions before purchasing pink ribbon branded products or contributing to fundraising eﬀorts: • Does any money from this purchase go to support breast cancer programs? How much? • What organization will get the money? What will they do with the funds, and how do these programs turn the tide of the breast cancer epidemic? • Is there a “cap” on the amount the company will donate? Has this maximum donation already been met? Can you tell? • Does this purchase put you or someone you love at risk for exposure to toxins linked to breast cancer? What is the company doing to ensure that its products are not contributing to the breast cancer epidemic? October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and that awareness should include the fact that many of the chemicals that surround us every day are implicated in this disease.

Birnbaum said that some of the pressing issues in the district revolve around safety, taxes and downtown revitalization. “Safety is one of the big things I’ve heard from residents this year,” she said. “Making sure we take care of public road maintenance is something we take very seriously. We have also been conducting traﬃc studies to keep pedestrians and drivers safe from each other.” According to Birnbaum, a traﬃc study has examined roads from Kings Point to Manhasset.

Judi Bosworth, who is seeking reelection as North Hempstead town supervisor, said she is campaigning on her fiscal record, while her opponent, David Redmond, criticized her management style, pointing to problems with the renovation of Clinton G. Martin Park. Bosworth, a Democrat from Great Neck, won her first election for supervisor in 2013 over current town Councilwoman Dina De Giorgio. Redmond, a Republican born and raised in Mineola, ran for the town clerk position in 2017, losing to Wayne Wink. “I’ll stand on my record keeping this town fiscally sound,” Bosworth said in a sitdown interview with Blank Slate Media. “We have retained a Aaa bond rating for several years, we are very careful with the ways we spend our money, and we have continuously improved our public works projects.” Redmond focused on how a diﬀerent management style could prove beneficial for the town if he was elected as town supervisor. “I bring something totally diﬀerent to the table than other candidates do,” he said during a sitdown interview. “I un-

derstand how to use new technologies to make aspects of the government more efficient such as the Building Department.” In discussing the department, Bosworth said that while any aspect of the government can always find room for improvement, it still serves the public appropriately. “The minute that you think whatever you’re doing is fine or can’t do any better, then you should leave,” she said. “While I can’t promise a target timeline for permit approvals, we are working on digitizing and streamlining the application process for residents, which will ideally be completed by March or April.” Redmond, an experienced technical consultant with a background in electrical engineering, said he believes that the digital aspect is only part of the Building Department’s issues. “I think that Judi’s weakest point is her management style,” he said. “She is a hard-working and passionate leader, but the way she runs her town is reflective of the Building Department and how frustrated the residents are about it.” Redmond said some “red flags” in the department are the wait times for hiring employees and low employee morale.

VEREEN PAUSES FOR AWARD

PHOTOS BY ISAK TINER

Ben Vereen, actor

BY D AV I D H I N C K L E Y Looking back on a half century of performances that have taken him from Broadway to national television n to dance stages and the silver screen, Ben Vereen adds just one qualifier. A few days after turning 73, he wants people to know now that his Tony-winning turn in “Pippin” and his Emmy-nomiominated role in “Roots” and several hundred other shows aren’t ren’t his whole list. They’re just what he’s done so far. “My grandmother, who was a missionary and taughtt me to sing when I was 6, always said you should never rust out of life,” says Vereen. “You need to give and give and give. You never want to lose the passion.” Vereen’s calendar now includes his traveling one-man man show, as well as groundwork that may lead to more television sion and stage productions. He politely declines to detail them m– “superstition, you know . . . you don’t want to expect too much and be disappointed” – but he clearly has no intention tion of slowing down. He will pause, however, on Nov. 4, when he will receive eive the Gold Coast Arts Center’s Lifetime Achievement Award d at an opening night reception for the Gold Coast Internationall Film Festival at the Krasnoﬀ Theater in Brookville’s Tilles Center. Regina Gil, founder and executive director of the Gold Coast Arts Center, says the evening will also include a conversation with Vereen moderated by Frank DiLella, host of “On Stage” on NY1. “This award is precious to me,” says Vereen. “I’m still blown away when people ask me for an autograph.” They’ve been doing that for quite a while now, though Vereen allows there was a time when it seemed like a distant dream. After graduating from New York’s High School of Performing Arts, he did the young actor’s scuﬄe for a couple of years before he landed a role in the Broadway hit “Hair.” From there he glided into Bob Fosse’s “Pippin,” which won him a Tony and gave him songs and dances his audiences still want in his shows today. Then in 1977 he switched media and played Chicken George in the TV megahit “Roots,” landing an Emmy nomination. He’s been busy ever since, returning to Broadway for shows like “Jelly’s Last Jam” while popping up in TV series like “NCIS” and “Hot In Cleveland.” In the last year, Vereen’s appearances have included “Magnum PI,” “Bull” and five episodes of Lee Daniel’s “Star.” His live show incorporates a classic mix of song, dance, comedy and conversation, placing Vereen squarely in the tra-

dition of all-around entertainers like the late Sammy Davis Jr. “I loved Sammy,” says Vereen. “He was my idol and a mentor.” He adds with a laugh, however, that he didn’t become a multiple performing threat just to emulate the greats of the past. “I trained as a dancer,” he says. “A modern dancer, under people like Martha Graham. I was in Arthur Mitchell’s dance company. But I realized early on that if I just danced, I’d never get enough work. So I’d better learn to do it all.” He did – largely, he says, by simply working at it. “God gives you the opportunities,” he says. “But you gotta make them happen. You gotta show up.” Sometimes you also need a break or two, of course, and Vereen says his biggest break came early, when he was 14 and applied to Performing Arts. “I was auditioning in front of Martha Graham, Jerome Robbins and George Ballanchine,” he says, “though at the time I didn’t even know who they all were. “I didn’t feel like I did a great audition. But Dr. Rachael Yocom, who was head of the school, thought I had potential and allowed me in. She changed my life.” Some three decades later, the late Gregory Hines provided another kind of inspiration. In early 1992 Vereen was hit by a car in California and seriously injured, suﬀering among other things a badly broken leg. “The doctor said I wouldn’t walk again,” he says. “Then I heard from Gregory, who was doing ‘Jelly’s Last Jam,’ and he told me that I had the role of The Chimney Man, replacing Keith David, if I could be there by the beginning of April. “April 3 I was on the stage. Gregory inspired me, because he believed in me. “It’s all about getting through adversity.” No one spends 50 years in show biz without adversity, and Vereen hasn’t been immune. “You learn to deal with it,” he says. “You can’t let it stop you.” But if there’s occasionally a price for show biz success, it also has rewards. “I just think of the people I’ve been able to meet and work

with,” he says. “I’ve met Sophia Loren and Lena Horne. I’ve hung out with Frank Sinatra. Sometimes they tell me I’m a legend. But I’m still a fan of these people myself. I can still go ga-ga.” What can’t get lost in this rarified world, he cautions, “is the fact that you can never think you know it all. You have to keep learning.” If he had to list his own lifetime achievements, Vereen says, “The first thing would be my children and grandchildren. Then there’s the work I’ve done. And I’m proud that I’ve fought for the arts.” That ongoing fight includes testifying before Congress when the Trump administration proposed eliminating all federal funding for organizations like the National Endowment for the Arts. “It boggles my mind that anyone would think of doing that,” he says. “Art is such an important part of life. Our lives are art. The clothes we choose to wear, that’s art. Creativity is all around us. It’s embedded in everything we do. “David Wood, one of the Martha Graham teachers, said the most important thing we can do is to tell the story. Art tells the story.” (The Gold Coast event Nov. 4 begins at 6 p.m. For information and tickets, call 516-829-2570 or visit www.goldcoastarts.com.)

3 tips when reading nutrition facts labels

uch about trips to the grocery store has changed since many adults were children. Many grocery stores are considerably larger than they were as recently as 20 years ago and now sell everything from traditional grocery store fare to clothing to items one might expect to find in a hardware store. Another aspect of grocery shopping that has changed over the years is the groceries themselves. Nutrition labels have been around for decades, though today’s labels contain considerably more information than they did in years past. As a result, many shoppers, even those who make sure to read product labels before placing items in their shopping carts, may not know exactly what they’re buying. Nutrition labels can be complicated, and ingredients that are beneficial for some consumers may be harmful to others. Seniors and people with existing medical conditions should always discuss their diets with their physicians, asking if there are specific foods they should avoid or seek out. In addition, the following three tips, courtesy of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, can help consumers understand nutrition labels and make sound choices.

1 2 3

Read the serving size information.

Serving size information on nutrition labels indicates both the recommended serving size and the number of servings contained in the package. The AND recommends that consumers compare the portion size they actually eat to the serving size listed on the label. Some people may consume more than one serving size per meal, and that can affect just how much of each ingredient, including ingredients like sodium that can be harmful if consumed in excess, a person is eating.

Pay attention to calorie count.

Nutrition labels contain calorie counts, which can help people maintain healthy weights. Being at a healthy weight has been linked to a reduced risk for various conditions, including type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Nutrition labels list calories per serving, so people trying limit their calorie intake to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight should pay particular attention to this information.

Let percent daily values guide you.

The AND notes that percent daily values, which are listed as “DV” on food labels, help consumers determine how particular foods fit into their daily meal plans. These values are based on a 2,000 calorie per day diet, though some people may need more or fewer calories than that. In addition, some people may need more than the 100 percent recommended daily value of a given nutrient. Consumers should discuss their specific needs regarding calorie and nutrient intake with their physicians. For those advised to heed the daily values recommendations, ingredients that are listed at 5 percent DV or less are considered low, while those that are 20 percent DV or higher are considered high. The AND recommends aiming low for ingredients like sodium, saturated fat and cholesterol, while high in vitamins, minerals and fiber can be beneficial. More information about nutrition labels can be found at www.eatingright.org.

Understanding the types of psychotherapy

ometimes referred to as “talk therapy,” psychotherapy is used to help people with a variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. One of the goals of psychotherapy is to eliminate or control symptoms that can adversely affect a person’s overall well-being and ability to function.

People who are skeptical of psychotherapy should know that hundreds of studies have found it helps people make positive changes in their lives. The American Psychological Association notes that reviews of these studies found that roughly 75 percent of people who enter psychotherapy show some benefit, while other reviews indicate that the average person who engages in psychotherapy is better off by the end of treatment than 80 percent of those who do not receive any treatment.

The National Institute of Mental Health notes that more than one-quarter of American adults experience depression, anxiety or another mental disorder in any given year. Psychotherapy may be considered to help people dealing with such mental illnesses. Mental health professionals use several types of psychotherapy to treat men and women in their care and may even combine elements from some of the following therapies to meet the needs of the people they’re treating.

Cognitive behavioral therapy: Cognitive

behavioral therapy, or CBT, can help people identify and change harmful or ineffective thinking and behavior patterns. The American Psychiatric Association (APA) notes that CBT aims to replace these thoughts and behaviors with more accurate and functional thoughts and behaviors. CBT may involve practicing new skills in the real world. Dialectical behavior therapy is a specific type of CBT that helps people regulate their emotions and teaches them skills to help them take personal responsibility in regard to changing their unhealthy or disruptive behaviors.

Interpersonal therapy: A short-term form

of treatment, interpersonal therapy, or IPT, helps people understand troublesome interpersonal issues such as grief, changes in social or work roles and conflicts with significant others. According to the APA, IPT can help people learn healthy ways to express their emotions and how to improve the way they communicate with others.

Psychodynamic therapy: The APA notes that psychodynamic therapy takes the perspective that behavior and mental well-being are influenced by childhood experiences and inappropriate thoughts or feelings that are outside of a person’s awareness. A person receiving psychodynamic therapy works with his or her therapist to improve self-awareness. Supportive therapy: Employing guidance

and encouragement to help people develop their own resources, supportive therapy aims to build self-esteem, reduce anxiety and strengthen coping mechanisms. Supportive therapy also aims to help people improve their social and community functioning. Therapists may rely on various therapies to treat patients with mental illness and emotional difficulties.

Identifying and understanding dehydration

ehydration is a simple condition to understand, but one that can lead to a host of complicated problems. Many people may be quick to associate dehydration with athletes, particularly those who exercise outdoors in warm climates. But dehydration can affect anyone at any time, which only highlights why men, women and even children should learn to identify signs of dehydration and what to do should it surface.

What is dehydration?

Dehydration happens when the loss of body fluids, namely water, exceeds the amount of fluids that is taken in. When a person is diagnosed as dehydrated, that typically means his or her body has lost so much fluid that is has begun to lose its ability to function normally.

Who is vulnerable to dehydration?

Anyone can suffer from dehydration, which can be especially dangerous to young children and older adults. The Mayo Clinic notes that older adults, who naturally have a lower volume of water in their bodies, may not feel thirsty until they are already dehydrated, so it’s important that aging men and women understand that thirst is not always the best indicator that they’re becoming dehydrated. Babies may become dehydrated when they get sick with an illness that causes vomiting and diarrhea. But even teens and otherwise healthy adults can suffer from dehydration.

What are the symptoms of dehydration?

Symptoms of dehydration vary with age. Parents of babies and young children should be on the lookout for signs of dehydrations, as infants and even toddlers may not be able to communicate that something is wrong.

Signs of dehydration in infants and young children include dry mouth and tongue, a lack of tears when crying, sunken eyes and cheeks, and a sunken soft spot on the top of the skull. In addition, babies who produce no wet diapers for three hours may be suffering from dehydration. A sense of listlessness or irritability in infants and young children is another potential indicator of dehydration. Adults who experience extreme thirst may be suffering from dehydration. Less frequent urination and a dark-colored urine when going to the bathroom also is symptomatic of dehydration. Fatigue, dizziness and confusion are some additional indicators of dehydration in adults.

Can dehydration be prevented? Dehydration can affect anyone, but there are ways to prevent it, even among those people who are especially susceptible to dehydration, such as children and older adults. Parents of babies who are vomiting or experiencing diarrhea should speak with their pediatricians and discuss the ways to prevent such children from becoming dehydrated. Breastfeeding more frequently and giving the baby a medicine such as Pedialyte® can prevent the occurrence of dehydration in babies who are sick. The Mayo Clinic recommends parents take a proactive approach to preventing dehydration in young children, meaning they should not wait until dehydration occurs or symptoms of dehydration present themselves before taking action. Adults who want to prevent dehydration should drink plenty of fluids and include lots of fruits and vegetables in their diets. Such foods contain lots of water and can help the body avoid becoming dehydrated. The Mayo Clinic recommends that athletes begin hydrating the day before engaging in strenuous exercise. A telltale sign of a well-hydrated body is clear, diluted urine. Athletes should replenish their fluids during exercise and continue doing so even after they finish working out or competing. Older adults should make a concerted effort to drink more fluids when suffering from minor illnesses, which is when such men and women most commonly become dehydrated. Drink extra water when battling influenza, bronchitis or bladder infections, remembering that feelings of thirst often surface only after the body has become dehydrated. Dehydration is a serious yet preventable threat to men, women and children. Learn more at www.mayoclinic.org.

Did you know?

he Mediterranean diet has been associated with a reduced risk for various diseases, including heart disease, cancer, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer’s diseases. According to the Mayo Clinic, the Mediterranean diet emphasizes eating primarily plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts.

Celebrating Over 10 Years of Dedicated Service

The Mediterranean diet also emphasizes replacing butter with healthy fats, such as olive oil and canola oil, and using herbs and spices instead of salt to add flavor to foods. Consumption of red meat is limited to no more than a few times per month when following the Mediterranean diet, while eating fish and poultry at least twice a week is encouraged.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

A murder mystery at My Father’s Place An original murder/mystery theater production will be presented by the Slayer Players Theatre Company at My Father’s Place in Roslyn on Oct. 30. Titled “A Cloak and a Dagger: Murder at the Halloween Spook-tacular,” the comedic thriller was written by the group’s manager Fred DiMenna and head of social media Kevin Horton. The story contains numerous references to rock music and the legendary artists who have performed at the historic rock-n-roll palace over the years. “A Cloak and a Dagger: Murder at the Halloween Spook-tacular” is a story about a ‘70s rock icon who has dropped out of civilization for 35 years only to return to the “public eye” with a 42-show tour that kicks oﬀ at My Father’s Place. Further complicating matters, the show has been combined with the venue’s Halloween Spook-tacular, which means audience members will be arriving in costume. The setting provides the perfect opportunity for murder with numerous characters possessing both means and motive. “Kevin and I wrote this play specifically for My Father’s Place,” DiMenna explains. “It’s a complete original and other than a private party we have scheduled for the next night, this is the only time it will be performed. There’s also never been a murder mystery in the history of the legendary club so it’ll be a night of firsts for sure! And for one character, a night of lasts!” Tickets for A Cloak and a Dagger: Murder at the Halloween Spook-tacular can be purchased at www.slayerplayers. com or www.myfathersplace.com. The Slayer Players’ website also has a video gallery that includes vignettes introduc-

ing the characters who will be front and center during the event. Tickets can be purchased for $45 per guest; however, if you arrive in costume on the evening of the event, you will receive a $5.00 rebate at the door. Prizes will also be given for the best costumes so plan your attire accordingly! The show begins at 8:00 pm, but the doors open two hours prior and there is a $25 per person minimum charge for food and beverage purchases at the venue. The Slayer Players Theatre Company Inc. was conceived by Susan Potter Weppler in November 2016. She contacted Fred DiMenna who she had acted with in the past and Dr. Eve Lupenko joined the group not long thereafter. Horton came aboard in 2018 and the four now serve as the leadership council that steers the company’s exploits. Potter’s goal was to spread murder, mystery and mayhem to the masses and the Slayer Players did just that when they took the stage for their first show on April Fools Day 2017. Indeed, the first two performances of Murder at the Banquet at the View Grill in Glen Cove were so well received that a third show had to be added to satisfy public demand. The group continues to grow by recruiting talented actors and actresses from the surrounding communities and the Slayer Players have developed a following that eagerly awaits announcements of their next performances. To date, the group has performed 15 shows including four diﬀerent ones at the View Grill and they have also taken the stage at Sea Cliﬀ Manor, the Glen Cove BID Holiday Festival, fundraisers and private parties. Please visit www.slayerplayers.com for more information.

Ten of the 15-person cast of characters that will be on stage when the Slayer Players perform A Cloak and a Dagger: Murder at the Halloween Spook-tacular. From left to right: The Sanitation Worker in Doctor’s Costume (Jimmy Weppler), The Doctor in Sanitation Worker’s Costume (to be played by Jim Bilello), Sugaree (Ginny Brown), Sweet Bonnie (Susan Potter Weppler), Arnold S.

KIDS F IRST

Companies placing profits over people

f your child needed a life-saving chemotherapy drug and you were told that because of a shortage you were out of luck, how would you feel? What would you do about it? Sadly, this is no fantasy scenario. It is a 21st-century reality for treating childhood cancer. According to a recent New York Times report, “Doctors are warning that they may soon be forced to consider rationing doses” of the drug in question: vincristine. Rationing means making decisions about who gets the drug and who doesn’t. In other words, although vincristine is an essential part of the best practices treatment regimen for pediatric cancer, some kids would not receive it; some would get it less frequently than called for, and others would be prescribed a poor substitute with more intense side eﬀects. As a cancer survivor, vincristine was a part of the cocktail of drugs that I received intravenously during my chemotherapy treatments for non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.

My understanding, though, is that this chemotherapy drug is not used as widely for adults with cancer as for kids. In fact, the American Cancer Society reports that children represent less than 1 percent of all cancer diagnoses. The bottom line: Apparently there is little profit incentive to produce a greater volume of vincristine, despite the fact that most kids with cancer take it and it helps save their lives, according to a recent Newsday story. Although chemotherapy is not easy to tolerate as an adult, I cannot imagine being a young child and going through it. What is even harder to fathom is not having access to the most effective drug to treat my disease and then having to settle for a less eﬀective and less tolerable substitute. At present, only one pharmaceutical company – Pfizer – supplies vincristine, which is an older and more inexpensive drug. Only one other company – Teva – produced the drug but, according to the FDA, Teva

ANDREW MALEKOFF Kids First

“made a business decision to discontinue the product.” In a May 9, 2018 story, the Financial Times of London explained, “When prices of older, oﬀ-patent drugs decline, manufacturers may leave the market, leaving a limited number of suppliers for certain medicines.” According to New York Times reporter Roni Rabin, 19,000 children and teens develop cancer each year and the cure rate is 85 percent. She added that shortages create disruptions in treatment, citing the

New England Journal of Medicine which noted that “in 2013, 83 percent of oncologists said that they were unable to prescribe the chemotherapy agent they wanted to use because of a shortage and that they had to substitute a diﬀerent drug or delay treatment.” Dr. Peter Adamson, chair of the Children’s Oncology Group, stated in the New York Times story: “It’s hard enough for any family having a kid with cancer, and having a child with cancer likely to be cured except we can’t give the drug is beyond the imagination. How can we do that to families?” Perhaps Erin Fox, Director of the Drug Information Service at the University of Utah Health Care in Salt Lake City, has the answer: “We see the most shortages with generics, specifically generic injectable products because they have low-profit margins and are diﬃcult to make.” To sum up, we’ve come to a place where an FDA-approved chemotherapy drug has been proven to help save children’s

lives, but the drug is in short supply because it is not profitable to manufacture; therefore, some children will have to suffer from a taking a substitute drug that causes more severe side effects. This is not a new story; just a variation on an old one. For example, we know about insulin’s high cost in keeping diabetes patients from taking their medicine. It is available but unaffordable. Vincristine is affordable but is fast becoming unavailable. I’ve written before in this space about access to mental health care and the role of the health insurance industry in denying and delaying access to care. The story of vincristine adds further evidence of the corporate reality in which profits trump people every time. 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.

Facts matter when reporting on politics

t a time when the words “Fake News” have become two words that the public hears daily from its political leadership and when the news media has come under increased scrutiny for its fact-checking in its coverage of politics, I would hope and expect that the Great Neck News would have heightened fact-checking standards before printing articles about local political candidates. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case with at least one article that appeared in your publication covering Michael Weinstock, a Great Neck Resident who aspires to become a member of the U.S. Congress. For this reason, I feel compelled, on behalf of my company, to call your attention a key factual error in one of your articles. While there are several articles about Mr. Weinstock that have appeared in your publication in recent months with in-

accurate references to him as a firefighter, the article in question from September 24, 2019 entitled “Suozzi helps secure grants for Great Neck Alert Fire Co.,” written by Robert Pelaez, is a recent one containing inaccurate information that I call to your attention. Specifically, in that article Mr. Pelaez incorrectly states that Mr. Weinstock is a “local firefighter.” In fact, Mr. Weinstock was a volunteer firefighter with the Vigilant Engine & Hook & Ladder Company, Inc. From February 5, 1990 until September 30, 2001, when he chose to resign from Vigilant. During Mr. Weinstock’s relatively brief tenure as a member, he served no oﬃce. He was a “rank and file” member. Thus, Mr. Weinstock has not been a member of the department for almost two decades, so to refer to him as a “local firefighter” is not accurate.

Moreover, while Vigilant dispatched volunteer firefighters and volunteer EMS staff to assist with the rescue and recovery efforts at Ground Zero immediately after 9/11, according to our records, Mr. Weinstock neither volunteered to assist with those efforts nor did he participate in those efforts as a member of Vigilant. Why does Vigilant take misinformation being printed by the news media about someone’s volunteer firefighting credentials so seriously? Perhaps a bit of background about the volunteer fire service and what we do could put that into perspective. According to the National Volunteer Fire Council, volunteers comprise 65 percent of firefighters in the United States. We are a majority of the people who provide fire protection in this country. It is fire companies like Vigilant who, twenty-four hours a

day and seven days a week serve our communities as the first line of defense for many emergencies. We are not only responding to fires, but EMS emergencies, terrorist events, natural disasters, hazardous material incidents, and many other types of calls. We take our responsibilities seriously, and we do the job not for money or for praise, but because we have a drive to help others in need, even when it means risking our lives to keep the community safe. Retention and recruitment of members is a continuous struggle for Vigilant and the entire volunteer fire service. For this reason, when a healthy and relatively young person who continues to live in our community voluntarily resigns from service and then almost two decades later seeks to promote himself as a longtime Vigilant volunteer in the news media, the many of us who have served for decades and continue to serve, take exception to this in-

accurate news reporting. To be clear, Vigilant takes no position on Mr. Weinstock’s candidacy; he may be a perfectly able candidate for oﬃce, and that is for each voter to decide on their own. However, he is not a firefighter, he is not a Vigilant, and that should be made clear to the general public. When any person seeks Congressional oﬃce, in this day and age more than ever, we believe that the facts matter. Therefore, we want the voting public to be provided with accurate information about its political candidates, and to this end, they should know that Mr. Weinstock is not a “local firefighter” and to our knowledge, he is not, and has not been, an active member of any volunteer fire department since 2001. Philip Katz, President Vigilant Engine & Hook & Ladder Company, Inc.

Still no daylight for Gateway Tunnel

ew Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo naming their representatives to the Gateway Development Corporation board of directors will do little to advance the new Hudson River Gateway Tunnel project. Creation ofthe Gateway Development Corporation duplicates the work of New Jersey Transit, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and Amtrak. Each has experienced staﬀ who know how to manage both the project and receipt of federal funding. It will only result in the creation of another bureaucracy duplicating existing transportation agencies and their staﬀ.All four agencies already have their own veteran engineers, operations planning, procurement, legal, force account, quality assurance

and quality control, financial and the civil rights employees necessary to manage the Portal Bridge, new Hudson River tunnels and rehab of existing Hudson River tunnels. They have successfully managed numerous Super Storm Sandy projects along with other Federal Transit Administration New Starts, formula and local funded capital projects. Since NJ Transit runs 90 percent or more of service between the Portal Bridge and Penn Station, they should manage Gateway. The proposed $9.5 billion new Hudson River Tunnel and $1.8 billion repairs to the existing tunnels damaged by 2012 Super Storm Sandy combined are looking for $5.4 billionin Federal Transit AdministrationNew Starts funding in 2020 under a Full Funding Grant Agreement. This is more realistic than the previ-

ous $29 billion with a $14.5 billion federal share. Gateway advocates forgot the competingMTASecond Avenue Subway Phase 2 project. This proposal will cost closer to $7 billion,looking for between $3 and $3.5 billion from the same federal source. The odds of both securing an FTA Full Funding Grant Agreements are the same as the Giants playing the Jets in the Super Bowl.The FTA funding both projects in 2020 would leave little for many other proposed New Starts projects around the nation. Starting in January 2021, New Jersey motorists entering Manhattan south of 60th Street starting will have to pay a congestion price toll. Murphy should ask for a 10% share using these dollars toward Gateway. There are other federal and local funding opportunities for Gateway. New Jersey Transit receives almost $1 billion and MTA

$1.4 billion in annual Federal Transit Administration funding outside of the New Starts process. Allocate some of these funds toward Gateway. Both can request the Federal Highway Administration transfer Congestion Mitigation Air Quality and other flexible funds to FTA for Gateway. Use some of the NJ State Transportation Trust funds for Gateway. Ask Amtrak to increase its $1.6 billion contribution.

Replace empty retail strips with housing

y final years of full-time government employment included a stint as regional director of the Empire State Development Corporation. This gives me a very jaundiced view of the state of Middle Neck Road, particularly from Linden Boulevard and north – all the way to Kings Point. For over two decades, empty commercial storefronts have dominated the area – some of them covering entire blocks. We all know that commerce has changed and that, regrettably, some local, family-owned businesses cannot endure. Surely we owe those which remain

patronage, help and support, but the “bargains” of on-line and the “big box stores” bear irresistibility to the consumer. The reputation of Great Neck cannot endure with a commercial strip increasingly resembling the deteriorated Mott Avenue in Far Rockaway (soon to get better there, as it can’t get any worse!). Elected oﬃcials, trustees – but most of all, narrow-minded neighbors in the villages surrounding the Middle Neck Road blight better get with it. A good school system is not enough to secure a desirable future here. The area is in need of high-end multi-family housing along the long strip to

accommodate those empty-nesters who sell their homes and basically have 3 choices: North Shore Towers, One Kensington Gate or Manhattan. This is reality – scores of those stores, including entire buildings, have been unoccupied for over 20 years. They’re not coming back. These parcels must be rezoned for multi-family entities of three or four stories, appropriately scattered to limit density, but enough to eliminate the current blight and increase our tax base. The hatred of builders here is not rational. I speak objectively, as I am not a builder

and have no “skin in the game.” This peninsula has a reputation of hostility to improvement and this attitude will ultimately aﬀect all of us. You basically cannot build anything around here. The only current use for several of these empty storefronts is as temporary, low-fee or free political campaign storefronts. The beneficiaries of those political victories sit along a very sad concourse – one for which they bear some responsibility. Jeﬀrey S. Wiesenfeld Great Neck

am writing in support of the re-election for Nassau County’s District Attorney, Madeline Singas. A strong sense of commitment for justice, integrity and probity are some of the words that can best describe Nassau County’s District Attorney, Madeline Singas. As a former prosecutor and Assistant District Attorney, Singas has utilized that experience to benefit Nassau County. Since her election four years ago, she has vigorously worked on many issues that are of vital importance and affect her constituents. She has exercised enormous energy in combatting the effects of drug and gun trafficking in addition to government corruption to protect taxpayers from those who abuse the public trust. She has been resourceful in her fight against the drug epidemic that has plagued

the county and has successfully dismantled narcotics and gang enterprises within Nassau County. District Attorney Singas has fought against illegal gun possession on many levels. They include measures enforcing gun safety legislation and establishing the Nassau County School and Community Task Force to augment the security of schools, colleges, places of worship and public buildings. Nassau County has been most fortunate to have District Attorney Singas to implement the health and safety for its residents. Please join me in voting for her reelection on Nov. 5. District Attorney Singas deserves to be reelected and we as residents will be the beneficiaries. Lois Schaﬀer Great Neck

We are all obligated to vote Nov. 5

ov. 5 is Election Day – a time for all registered voters to get out and vote for a better community. In the last General election the voter turn out was low. Well, in my opinion, I find that to be a total disgrace. We live in a free country and we have the right to chose who can better represent us.

When we don’t vote the possibility exists that the wrong candidate gets elected who doesn’t represent our vital interest. We need representatives who want to serve the people and are truly concerned with what we the people hold most dear. There are many issues that should concern us and that is, taxes, education,

homelessness, aﬀordable housing, health care, crime and transportation. The issues are endless and need to be addressed by our elected representatives who hopefully have workable solutions. When we don’t vote we have no right to complain about how bad things are. Added to that when we don’t vote the quality of life decreases. We all need

to express a desire for better communities. To my fellow citizens please get out and vote on election day because it is very important. So wake up and smell the coﬀee and get out and vote! Frederick R. Bedell Jr. Mineola

Yet another delay for Playhouse theater “Hearing for playhouse postponed until Dec. 9” I am going to keep this brief and to the point, for I have been “complaining” and asking for updates to our mayor in Great Neck Plaza regarding the adjacent Playhouse that has remained dormant,

unoccupied in disrepair, in limbo and vacant for all too many years (Since 1983). It is not really our Village of Great Neck Plaza issue but does aﬀect us in several ways, particularly the demolition.

But since there is to be a meeting (at which I will bet money on …that nothing will be resolved ) and I venture to say there will be meetings ad infinitum for another decade… The “fights” and issues are seemingly as “unresolvable and mimicking the Washington.

Dalimonte win would cross party lines

emocrats and Republicans alike should vote for Democrat Mariann Dalimonte for Town Council on Nov. 5. Town Council leadership needs to represent across party lines and Mariann Dalimonte is dedicated to all residents of

District 6 (which includes Port Washington, Port Washington North, Sands Point, Flower Hill, Munsey Park, Plandome, Plandome Heights, and Plandome Manor), and not just a few select people. Mariann is running because she cares deeply about the district. She has dedicated

the past 15 years to working and volunteering in the community. Mariann’s knowledge of issues facing the town, and her desire to make our community the best it can be, make her the best choice to represent District 6. Mariann’s promise to involve the town

in important decisions that aﬀect us all, and the assurance of transparency in governance, are just a few of the reasons why I will cast my vote for Democrat Mariann Dalimonte on Nov. 5. Debbie Harari Port Washington

Thanks for bipartisan support of Port district

n behalf of the oﬃcers and directors and as President of the Greater Port Washington Business Improvement District, I would like to extend a well deserved thank you and show of appreciation to Supervisor Judi Bosworth, Councilwoman Dina DeGiorgio and the rest of the Town Board for the improvements that have taken place and are still currently being undertaken on Port Washington’s Main Street. Their bipartisan eﬀorts and decisions are

duly noted and have yielded an improved appearance of Port’s Business District. Port Washington’s BID Board always works to provide residents with enhancements that make our district more attractive, festive, and inviting. Add the sidewalk and curb repairs as well as the repaving of upper Main Street that the Town of North Hempstead undertook as a capital improvement project, you now have an environment that we, as the BID Board, strive to achieve.

In addition to the town’s provided improvements, a small committee of members of the BID Board had walked and inspected portions of Main Street from Mackey Avenue to Third Avenue and sited areas that needed attention and repair. The Town of North Hempstead Sidewalk Department responded and is currently starting the process of repairing sections of the sidewalk. All these decisions made by our Town Of North Hempstead representatives to im-

prove our Port Washington should not go unnoticed. As a life-long resident of Port Washington and a local Main Street merchant for 25 years, I’ve been very aware of these needed upgrades and repairs and the Town came through for its residents.

2-hour parking on Does our Syria policy Plandome will do harm now endanger Israel?

n your Oct. 15 article, Plandome Road parking extended to two hours,the story implied the Manhasset Park District was aware of the new plan to extend parking times on Plandome Road. At no time was the MPD consulted or asked to endorse any such proposal. To be clear, the MPD is not only against the

plan but expects the new two-hour parking limit policy to exacerbate the chronic parking problem on Plandome Road. Without proper code enforcement of limited-time parking, employees and non-residents will continue to take advantage of parking on Plandome Road, all day, with no fear of ticketing.

Town’s tax office is inefficient: Rochester Port Washington resident challenges Charlie Berman in race for receiver of taxes BY R OB E RT PE L A E Z Charles Berman, who is running for re-election as Town of North Hempstead receiver of taxes, defended his work while his opponent, Port Washington resident Ron Rochester, criticized the tax office as inefficient in interviews with Blank Slate Media. Berman said he wanted to make it clear that he does not intend to run for any other office now or in the future. “I’ve had plenty of opportunities to take other government positions, but you can quote me on not running for any other position,” he said. Berman, a Democrat who was elected to a one-year term during a special election in November 2010, was elected to a full term the next year. Since then, the Roslyn Heights resident has overseen the annual mailing of over 180,000 tax bills, the transmission of 100,000 electronic bills to tax service organizations and the receipt and processing of more than 288,000 tax payments. This is the first year that Rochester, a Republican, has thrown his hat into the ring for the position, and he brings over 25 years of law enforcement experience, with forensic accounting and CPA work. He is now a state-licensed private investigator. “Within the government, you analyze the values of properties, land, homes, etc.,” he said during a sitdown interview. “I think my varied experience and knowledge can be beneficial for the town.” Rochester expressed frustration with the town’s “antiquated” online tax payment system. He also said that he has heard many residents complain of the “difficulties and inefficiency” of the system. “Aside from the site being difficult to navigate, I think that we need to spend the right amount of time and money to have this up to 21st century standards,” he said. “There should also be some incentives for people who pay their taxes earlier.” He listed potential ideas for the town’s Tax Department such as hiring more service-oriented people, having a drive-thru window for people to drop off their bills and offering tax discounts for those who pay early. Berman disputed Rochester’s claim about the site’s inefficiency and said that the safety and security of people’s personal information should always be the first priority. “It’s easy to navigate, it’s not antiquated, and it’s very, very safe,” he said. “We’ve heard of so many data breaches in this country, that would keep me up at night if I wasn’t reassured that these people’s information is safe and secure.” Both candidates were asked about the county’s tax reassessment phase-in plan implemented by Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and Assessor David Moog. The county executive seeks to phase in increases and decreases in homeowners’ tax bills over five years. “First of all, the Department of Assessment hadn’t been assessing properties

I think that the reassessment they did is probably going to be proven accurate on the methods and data they had at their disposal.” Berman also mentioned that, without a phase-in for residents who overpaid or underpaid their taxes, people would get “incredibly angry.” Rochester said the was displeased with the eight-year absence of an assessment prior to Curran and Moog stepping in last year. He also said that the current reassessment system is not ideal. “I think they were both bad,” he said. “I think the new plan is very confusing and has unnecessary steps for residents to deal with. Now, I guess you have to do a phasein, even though somebody is going to get hurt either way, but plenty of things should have been done to prevent this.” Berman cited his experience as a reason to believe he is the ideal candidate to remain at this position. “I’m the one who has the background and the expertise on this position,” he said. “I believe this department, under my supervision, has been known to be one of the most helpful town departments. I don’t care about politics, I just want the best people for the job to ensure our residents’ finances are handled properly.” Rochester cited his public service experience and work ethic in making his case to be elected. “I think it’s important to get a new, fresh set of eyes in the department,” he said. “I know how to properly analyze data, and know what the residents of our town want. I’ve worked hard my entire life, and will remain to do so if I am elected.”

Business&RealEstate

Managing your home this winter I have been managing homes and properties for many years and the one particular thing that gets homeowners calling me to manage their properties is when in the past when they were away and a broken pipe or two had burst, causing tremendous damage. There were many reasons for this happening because they didn’t have a solid plan in place to winterize their home or the heat was set too low or shut down. Checking regularly, as we do, minimizes these issues with less of a worry about those types of events possibly occurring. Also, if you are a landlord and are used to collecting your rents in person, do you have someone doing this for you while you are away? Streamlining the process for landlords enables them to enjoy themselves while gone and not

having to worry about those important chores. Also, previously when it snowed they hadn’t contracted with anyone to plow; so those with bad intentions would observe over a day or two those homes that had not been plowed or walkways shoveled. One leaves themselves potentially open to being robbed and vandalized. Also, make sure your walkways and sidewalks are salted and/or sanded to minimize your liability from lawsuits from the public as well as your postman or anyone coming on your property whether home or away. Also, when is the last time you checked your homeowner’s policy and updated it? Safety was also a concern and worry about break-ins when they were out of town. It’s an excellent

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch

idea to let one of your neighbors that you are friends with and know that you will be away and to take in your mail (if you haven’t told your post oﬃce to hold it) as well as any newspapers or advertisements that might accumulate on your property, again, letting those know, that no one is home. As I mentioned in a column during the summer, there are ingenious devices you can purchase online (I have never seen them in any store anywhere) that display varied and an intermittent collage of multi-colored lights that you can put near your window to look as if a television is on; as long as you close all your curtains and blinds, so no one can look in. Something else that really is cru-

cial not to do while away is posting vacation photos on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and other sites. This is a no, no, since many unscrupulous thieves, peruse the internet looking for such situations to rob those homes when people are either on vacation or are away for the winter. Never, ever post photos or any information about where you may be vacationing or staying, to any sites. It’s acceptable to email family and friends photos and information, but nothing should be posted to a public site for all to see. When you return home, that is the most opportune and safer time to post all your prized vacation pictures. When it comes to keeping your home at a safe temperature, I would suggest no lower than 55 degrees, to reduce the possibility of a pipe or two from freezing and bursting, causing catastrophic damage. I had gotten a listing last year, where this had happened the previous winter (that is why they were selling). The house had to be bulldozed or completely gut renovated because the oil burner shut oﬀ and no one knew until someone opened the front door and saw a thick layer of ice throughout the downstairs! If only they had someone checking their home regularly this

could have been avoided! There are also devices that you can install that will let you know when a leak is occurring and it will make a call to your plumber or your water company to let them know of the emergency. You can also install an application on your phone with the correct setup in your home to control your temperature, lights and all sorts of cutting edge things, so you, as a homeowner will have much more control over what is occurring inside and outside your home. A nifty addition would be a surveillance system in and outside of your home that again, you can track and control through your cell anywhere in the world. When home, there are also doorbells that have cameras in them by which you can monitor who is at your door. If you still have oil, make sure you tune up your burner, by having a new oil filter installed and maybe, if needed, cleaning out the firing chamber and chimney. Also, make sure your automatic water fill (assuming you have one and you should if you don’t) for your boiler that it is working properly; otherwise your burner will shut down if your water level is too low. If your oil tank is automatically filled up regularly, great! If not make sure you are on an automatic filling schedule based on degree days. Your oil company will know what that means and that is how they gauge when your tank will need to be re-filled. However, I have been told by the customer service reps at National Gird that they are providing rebates and/ or discounts on new conversions to gas boilers, as long as you have had consistent gas service for at least two years from your water heater or stove. However, you will need a plumber to provide the installation of the unit. Lastly, if you need any professional assistance or someone to babysit your home while you are away this winter, we have flexible plans that we can oﬀer. So feel free to reach out to me at any time so we may discuss your specific “needs and wants.” Philip A. Raices is the owner/ broker of Turn Key Real Estate at 3 Grace Ave Suite 180 Great Neck.

Residents source of traffic violations: Ehrbar Continued from Page 1 Ehrbar said that he has asked oﬃcers of the 3rd Precinct, which has its headquarters in Williston Park, to avoid main roads such as Hillside Avenue, but rather loop around the area and keep an eye on village roads such as Park Avenue and Center Street. Trustee William O’Brien said two vio-

lations would have been a “busy month” in prior years, but the 23 violations are an improvement. Mitchell, a former police oﬃcer, said that during the 1970s the village saw up to 60 moving violations a month. Umberto Mignardi, a spokesman for the civic association, said that the burden may be on the residents to spread

the message and urge residents to obey traﬃc laws. O’Brien said the solution may be to make “exaggerated stops” saying, “If we stop the person behind us stops.” He stressed that village board members are not asking neighbors to create conflict with another neighbor. O’Brien said the civic association can

communicate via email blasts and social media posts and publicizing the problem in local papers. Ehrbar said the village moves speeding signs every week and is still in talks with traﬃc engineers about what the village can do to remedy speeding and failure to stop at signs in the village.

Zuckerman, Lems divided on building dept. Continued from Page 11 Concerning possible mixed-use or transit-oriented developments in areas like Roslyn, Zuckerman said each application should be looked at “on a case-bycase basis.” “It’s not an easy process, but we need to protect our residents, we need to protect the areas that are part and parcel of

our district, part and parcel of what the Town of North Hempstead is, and if a particular builder is unhappy, then I’m sorry that’s the case, but we’re all committed to working with those builders to overcome any obstacles,” Zuckerman said. Both candidates support availability for medical marijuana, but only Lems supported recreational sales.

“A lot of people are saying we should opt out of recreational marijuana sales. I think that’s a mistake,” Lems said. “When the state legalizes marijuana, we should absolutely opt in and control where it’s sold so that it’s kept away from children.” One issue that Lems said she is particularly concerned with is “cronyism” in local government, specifically members

of the Board of Elections being named by those currently in oﬃce, which she says is detrimental to third parties like hers. “The people on the Board of Elections are, of course, appointed by the Democratic and Republican parties,” Lems said. “They’re not hostile to [third party members], but they’re not as helpful as they could be.”

Bosworth, Redmond face off for town supervisor Continued from Page 22 He also mentioned the former superintendent of highways who resigned after four months on the job following a two-year search to fill the post. The handling of the renovation project at Clinton G. Martin Park in New Hyde Park has been one of Redmond’s points of criticism throughout the campaign, and he said he would have handled it much diﬀerently. “If they had hired the right people and done their due diligence, this project would not be an issue,” he explained. “I would have gotten constant updates from people who were working on this project. It’s a manageable project that should not have gotten to this point.” The pool renovation at the park is the subject of a hotly contested lawsuit between the town and Wantagh-based Gramercy Group, which did the work. The town is withholding $1.3 million for what it considers unfinished business, and the contractor is claiming an additional $1.5 million in unpaid debts. De Giorgio said this month that no change orders for the project were brought before the Town Board, adding, “I’m not sure we ever voted on any of

Judi Bosworth and David Redmond spoke on issues such as the Building Department, downtown revitalization and Clinton Martin Park during interviews with Blank Slate Media. those cost overruns.” Bosworth said she is not certain what De Giorgio was talking about. “I understand that the overruns

we were aware of went to the board,” she said. “She was never at any kind of meeting, and only saw the park during a ribbon-cutting, so I’m not sure what

she’s talking about. According to what I know, this is not costing more than what we planned for.” On the subject of revitalization, Bosworth and Redmond agreed that steps should be taken to have business districts within the town flourish. Additionally, both cited the high costs of apartments as deterring factors in trying to attract millennials and young families to the town. “We always have to remember we have great chambers of commerce, but the shop owners need to do their part as well,” Bosworth said. “There has to be some attraction for the older and younger crowds to come to in the downtown districts. I also think the town should continue to work with developers and businesses to explore all options to attract and retain residents of all ages.” “I think we need to address the Building Department issues first, and in doing so, we will be able to attract developers to the area and come build here,” Redmond said. “The town can absolutely play an advisory role. Mixed-use housing can vary on a case-by-case basis, but that’s also something we can look at to attract a younger generation here.”

Honoring vet bearing scars of combat Continued from Page 1 Each group thanked Marrocco for his service and presented him with a check. Mineola Mayor Scott Strauss praised the medics who saved Marrocco’s life and noted that he underwent 13 hours of transplant surgery. “You are an inspiration to everybody,” he said and urged everyone to consider being an organ donor. Each member of the village board followed Strauss by saluting Marrocco and thanking him for his service to his country. In another matter, the mayor called attention to a new plaque honoring former Mayor Robert Hinck that has been added to the Wall of Honor in Village Hall. Hinck served for many years on the Board of Trustees and was an active member of many organizations in Mineola, Strauss said. Strauss said Hinck was “a true family

man” and thanked him “for being a part of our village.” The mayor also recognized former Mayor Stanley Krause, who served on the Board of Trustees for 23 years. Krause was added to the Wall of Honor in 2018. Theo Rabinowitz, a resident on 1st Street, addressed the board regarding parking problems in the village. He asked if parking permits could be issued to residents who are forced to frequently move their cars in order to comply with time limits on streets in the downtown area. Village Attorney John Gibbons said in response, “Streets are held in the public trust and cannot be reserved for specific residents.” Strauss said that the Harrison Avenue parking garage under construction at 1st Street and 3rd Avenue is expected to be completed in July.

Bill Urianek said he started a drive to raise money for U.S. Army Sgt. Brendan Marrocco to help him with his expenses. Urianek said he has collected more than 1,150,000 cans and bottles since 2004 and has donated all the proceeds to veteran causes.

Birnbaum cites record in seeking third term Continued from Page 21 She will attend a meeting in November to go over results before they are released to the public. Health and wellness safety has also been a hot topic since the state banned the sale of flavored e-cigarettes, a step that has not gone into eﬀect because of a court ruling. Birnbaum said that she has heard many anecdotal accounts of health issues that have stemmed from vaping and that the toxic chemicals can seriously damage lungs. On the subject of taxes, Birnbaum said that she met with some mayors in her area when people received tax impact notices. Some of the mayors said they believed that their villages had been incorrectly reassessed, she said. “There was a lot of give and take, but people knew that they could go in and challenge their assessments if they wanted to,” Birnbaum said. “I believe

the work that Laura Curran and David Moog did was necessary because the freeze was on too long. I wanted to make sure we got a qualified assessor, and I believe we did.” Birnbaum also said it is “ridiculous” that, under the assessment bill of rights that was approved by county lawmakers on Sept. 23 the appointed assessor must live in the county. The measure did not take eﬀect because the county Legislature failed to override Curran’s veto. “That same meeting that came for a vote, we had approved someone heading up an agency who didn’t live in the county. No other position has that requirement,” she said. “I think putting together that bill of rights right before an election date, it seems a little suspect to me.” Birnbaum also said she is in favor of the tax phase-in, as it would be a good way for taxpayers to ease in for those who have been underpaying and overpaying.

Though the proposed mixed-use development for the Macy’s site in Manhasset does not lie in Birnbaum’s district, she said she believes there is potential to build something there. “I think that people are looking for open space to build and increase the tax base, so I’m not totally against it,” she said. “But it would need to be in an area that could sustain development like that, and that corner with more traﬃc could be even more of a nightmare.” While downtown revitalization planning tends to be on the village and town levels, Birnbaum said government on all levels should reflect the county executive’s motto of “Live, work play.” “You have to find a median where people that live here or want to move here have that quality of life where you get some of everything,” she said. “We have to look into the future and make a place where kids would want to come and live because right now it’s the exact opposite.”

In regard to business, Birnbaum said that the shopping habits of most everyone have adapted toward online sellers. She also mentioned that the county is projecting $14.5 million in sales tax revenue from the internet in 2020. “People’s shopping habits have changed, simple as that,” she said. “I think in Great Neck, for example, the Village Oﬃcials Association is doing a great job of starting the discussion. I think people should open their minds to the idea of mixed-use housing as well.” Birnbaum stakes her reputation on being a leader in the community from her time on the Temple Israel board of trustees, to being a vocal advocate for child and senior citizen safety. “I have experience in the public sector, I love the work that I do, I love working with people, and I believe it makes me an ideal candidate,” she said. “I intend to keep using my experience to help and work with the constituents if I am re-elected.”

Program using virtual reality in dementia fight Continued from Page 2 periences, saying that a patient who was digitally white water rafting began recalling a traumatic experience on an

Women should support, empower each other In a very competitive and sometimes unjust world, it is so important for women to support and empower each other in all areas of life. No mother should have to choose between paying her rent or her health insurance. Networking with one another to find flexible employment with a livable salary and benefits is crucial.

In a region like New York, with its high cost of living that keeps getting higher, it is becoming increasingly diﬃcult to be self-suﬃcient, and we should do all we can to lift each other up. Susan Carroll Great Neck

Continued from Page 18 was his response to no minimum wage. “Everyone wants clean water,” was his response to no need for pollution regulations. “I believe in property rights,” was his response to landlords emptying buildings of rent-controlled tenants. I am sure he will say caveat emptor (buyer beware) for unsafe airplanes and cars. Indeed, the example he uses is that on an airplane, they tell you to put on your own oxygen mask before helping others. If anything, Tarnoff made the case for good government, which means electing the best individuals. The challengers have not presented a strong case to replace the incumbents. Just attacking with the suggestion that they can do better is not sufficient. Our county legislators, Ellen Birnbaum and Delia Deriggi-Whitton have represented us well – with intelligence, commitment and values – and Richard Nicolello, as the Republican Presiding Officer, has brought down the level of vicious, weaponized partisanship, though admittedly, he is dealing with the divided government of Democrat, Laura Curren, as county executive. Our town has been ably led by Judi Bosworth as a supervisor, managing to balance fiscal conservatism with the delivery of services. It says a lot that North Hempstead has been ranked as among the best places to live and to retire. The chronic complaint about the Building Department has been improving – Bosworth offered statistics – but we should also be mindful that real estate developers and landlords and property owners are not always the good guys. The collapse of a building under con-

struction in New Orleans’ historic district is a sober reminder that building codes, inspections and regulations are there for a reason. Charles Berman has been an excellent Receiver of Taxes, providing service and respect to residents. He does not set the taxes or the assessment. The town’s share of our tax bill is only 4 percent, as Berman noted. The county and the town can be a catalyst to sustainable, beneficial economic development that takes into account the need to address climate change but nothing can happen without the villages. Just getting a Farmers Market in Great Neck has proved difficult. Yes, as Green Party candidate Cassandra Lems said, there is much that localities can do to ameliorate climate change – building codes, purchasing electric vehicles, generating biodiesel fuel from cooking oils and food waste, requiring or incentivizing solar panels on commercial buildings. Local elections are vitally important – these officials are the decision-makers closest to our everyday quality of life. The Libertarian makes the clearest case for why we need good government, and that means electing the best individuals. Vote Judi Bosworth for North Hempstead supervisor, Charles Berman for receiver of taxes; Veronica Lurvey and Peter Zuckerman for Town Council; Ellen Birnbaum, Delia Deriggi-Whitton and Richard Nicolello for county Legislature. Election Day is Nov. 5, but this is the first year that New York State is offering Early Voting, Oct. 26-Nov. 3. See https:// www.nassaucountyny.gov/566/Board-ofElections for locations and times.

New vice prez at N.Y. Institute Pennie S. Turgeon has joined New York Institute of Technology as vice president for information technology and chief information officer, effective Oct. 1. Turgeon has more than 25 years of higher education experience in strategic information technology management and business development. “Pennie’s management expertise and technical knowledge will allow us to deliver cost-efficient, datadriven strategies fueled by technology that will improve student learning, expand faculty research, and streamline IT operations across all our campuses,“ said Henry C. “Hank” Foley, president of New York Institute of Technology. Turgeon will serve as a member of the university’s senior leadership team and provide vision, leadership, and oversight of data analytics and data management, IT services, hardware, software, telecommunications, internet, and enterprise infrastructure. She will work closely with faculty, students, and staff to ensure that technology is leveraged to greatly enhance the student experience inside and outside the classroom. Since 2006, Turgeon has served as vice president for information technology and CIO at Clark University (Worcester, Mass.). Her accomplishments in this role include the implementation of a successful data management strategy that

Pennie S. Turgeon

addressed the university’s need for enhanced data governance and data fluency and the establishment of a research-based collaboration with an external biotech company to introduce high-performance computing strategies. Prior to joining Clark, Turgeon served as director of academic technology and distance learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Worcester, Mass.) for 15 years, where she oversaw the development of an academic technology center, implementation of a profitable online learning operation, and the creation of the Teaching Technology Fellowship program that provided faculty with opportunities to work on projects that focused on improving student learning through technology. “What attracted me to New York Tech is its focus on student outcomes, an ongoing commitment to the long-term success of its graduates, and President Foley’s strategic vision,” said Turgeon. “Working in collaboration with faculty, staﬀ, students, and alumni, I am eager to reposition IT at New York Tech as a strategic partner and an agent of institutional transformation.” Prior to entering the higher education space, Turgeon served as a systems developer for Texas Instruments and a marketing sales associate for IBM.

Katz Institute luncheon raises $750,000 Northwell Health and the Americana Manhasset raised more than $750,000 for women’s health at the 27th Annual Katz Institute for Women’s Health Luncheon and Fashion Event presented by the Partners Council for Women’s Health. The event — attended by more than 500 supporters, patients and clinicians and held at Old Westbury Gardens — was hosted by Rosanna Scotto, co-anchor of Fox 5’s Good Day New York, and supported critical women’s health programming at the Katz Institute for Women’s Health and the Center for Cancer, Pregnancy and Reproduction. To date, the Katz Institute Luncheon and Fashion Event has raised nearly $11 million in support of women’s health. Charlotte and Roger Blumencranz were honored for their nearly five decades of support to Northwell Health and have been lifelong champions of women’s health initiatives. They’ve served as trustees and board members, helped found the Partners Council for Women’s Health and spearheaded countless fundraising initiatives and galas. “Charlotte and Roger have been tremendous partners and have created a legacy of giving

then weeks later finding out she had colon cancer. Gina shared how she went to many doctors, all who said she needed to terminate her pregnancy, until she found her surgeon, Jerald Wishner, MD,co-director of the Institute for Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery and director of the Minimally Invasive and Colorectal Surgery Programat

Northwell’s Northern Westchester Hospital. Dr. Wishner performed robotic surgery and as Gina put it, “He saved not one life but two.” Months later, Gina gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Gianna Hope. “One in 1,000 women will get a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy and don’t know where to turn,” says Richard

Barakat, MD, physician-in-chief and director of the Northwell Health Cancer Institute. “Northwell has created the Center for Cancer, Pregnancy and Reproduction to help women like Gina.” Northwell’s Senior Vice President for Women’s Health, Stacey Rosen, MD, spoke about how the Katz Institute is addressing the disparities women experience in health care and is working to advance care for all women. “Many conditions present diﬀerently in women than in men and aﬀect women disproportionately,” says Dr. Rosen. “At the Katz Institute we are disrupting the way women receive their medical care and are creating a better, smarter approach to women’s health.” The Katz Institute was created in 2008 thanks to the vision and generosity of Iris and Saul Katz and is an expanded approach to women’s health that focuses on advancing sexand gender-based research to shape better care for all women everywhere, and also connects women to the vast resources within Northwell Health.

Bosworth attends breakfast

Town attends fall fest at park North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Town Clerk Wayne Wink attended a fall festival at Steppingstone Park on Oct. 5. The event was hosted by the Great Neck Chinese Association and the Chinese American Association of North

Hempstead. The event featured lawn games, crafts, face painting, balloon animals and more. Supervisor Bosworth and Town Clerk Wink met with attendees taking part in the festivities. Also in attendance was Assemblyman Tony D’Urso.

Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth attended the Long Island Family Support Services Advisory Council’s 27th Annual Legislative Breakfast on October 4 at the Huntington Hilton. The event focused on managed care for people with developmental disabilities. During the event, Supervisor Bosworth presented a proclamation of recognition to Cecilia Amoroso who was being honored for her volunteerism and dedication to help others. In 2016 the Supervisor created the Town of North Hempstead Disability Advisory Committee to act as an added support system to residents with disabilities, their families and caregivers within the Town. The DAC serves to disseminate information to people with disabilities, their families, and caregivers as well as to work to ensure that all citizens are connected to resources and services. The DAC expresses concerns of the disability community, recommends possible solutions, and conveys such recommendations to the appropriate government body. The overall goal of the committee is to improve the quality of community life and promote individuality. The Family Support Services Advisory Council’s goal is to advocate on behalf of all families who have family members with a developmental disability and to continually improve the quality of services for individuals and families throughout New York State. Submitted by the Town of NorthHempstead.

OUR TOWN

No joy in Mudville for Yankee fans When the Yankees play in October New Yorkers come alive with hope because the Yankees in postseason conjures up the presence of the ghosts of Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Whitey Ford and Mickey Mantle. The Yankee brand is the most valuable and lucrative in all of sports largely because they are the team that has won 27 World Series. Every boy in America that grew up in the fifties and sixties has had arguments of the merits of Mantle, Roger Maris and Whitey Ford and the image of the clean-cut Yankee in those sharp looking pinstripes have all added to the value of the Yankee brand. But the power of any global brand is established by victory over all competitors. The only real Yankee superstar at present is Aaron Judge who recently channeled the inimitable George Steinbrenner when he remarked “You can win every single game in the regular season, but if you lose in the post-season, it doesn’t matter. Each year, it left a bad taste in my mouth.” Spoken like a true legend and that’s why there is no joy in Mudville this year. And there won’t be unless and until the Yankees finally win another World Series. The burden of the Yankee legacy weighs heavily on each player. Perhaps with the exception of Judge, LeMahieu and Tanaka, the entire team had the look of a deer in the headlights during their play against the

Astros. They looked tight and tense and fraught with anxiety. Long gone are the days where Jeter would joke around in the dugout and be able to relax the team. The Yankees of today are non-believers despite all those upbeat posters in the locker room, despite the ineffective interventions of their sport psychologist and despite the formidable architectural aura of Yankee Stadium itself. The question they will ask themselves this winter is what went wroang and what do we do about it. To be a world champion is a mystery that every Yankee coach and general manager is paid to solve. If you turn to other sports you will find no answer. I work with PGA

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

tour players and spend lots of time discussing what went into a win and how to repeat that experience each week. Was it the hotel they stayed in? Was it the food they ate? Was it related to how they were getting along with their spouse that week?

How much sleep did they get? Was the win due to the course they liked or the players they played with? Hard to say. In baseball, you look at past winning teams to find answers. Were the 1998 Yankees dominant because of how Torre handled Steinbrenner? Was it due to ease of Jeter or O’Neill or the talent of David Cone? Did the 2009 Yankees win because of Alex Rodriguez, Mariano Rivera and CC Sabathia? There are so many factors involved, all of which must be in place for the entire season. And then you have to get lucky too. If Brett Gardner’s sinking line drive drops one foot sooner than the Astro’s Josh Reddick fails to make the catch and the Yankees score

Aaron Boone has yet to discover the secret formula of how to win the big ones.

two more runs and go on to win the game and perhaps the series. Such is the wonder and the angst of sports. You can already see greatness in Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu. These two kids have that look in their eyes that say watch out we are coming. New Yorkers are allowed to shed some tears this October at the sight of what we witnessed this week but the greatness of the human spirit is that hope springs eternal. Soon enough the rough bearded faces of Justin Verlander and Jose Altuve will be all but forgotten and we will be treated to another crop of clean-shaven, cleancut Yankees to observe. And as a sport psychologist, I will be looking for exactly two things in their faces. I will be watching for the steely look of a savage but at the same time the calm smiling look of joy and fun. That is the magic combination that Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera had and that Aaron Judge and DJ LeMahieu have now. Let’s just hope that their ‘savage/joy’ can rub off on a few of their teammates. You see you can’t just be a ‘savage’ as the lead up to commercials talked of. And you can’t just be having fun. You have to be both at once. The attitude of savagery must be paired with a heart of lightness and joy. No easy formula but one that they will all need to learn if they hope to walk in the footsteps of Babe or Mickey or Whitey.
