$24.45M plan a 2.98% increase BY K AT I E F E N T O N The Village of Mineola’s $24,451,264 budget for 2021-22 was discussed and adopted during a public hearing on April 14. The budget is a 2.98 percent increase from the $23,743,406 budget for 2020-21 and comes with a tax increase of 1.9 percent. Village Clerk Joseph Scalero said that given the financial challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the modesty of the increase is an accomplishment. He credited the “very sound budget with no cuts and a very minimal tax increase” to the board’s shrewd budgeting decisions over the years. “The main thing about this budget is that every municipality this year, from federal to local, has a budget that’s strained by COVID, and we’re really no different. We took a tremendous hit in nontax revenues because of COVID,” Scalero said. “The posiContinued on Page 46

meeting. “I would also like to thank my fellow firefighters. No one in the Fire Department does anything alone. It is wholly a team eﬀort, and being recognized for one’s service by their peers is the ultimate compliment.” Before his tenure at the Fire Department, Strauss was exposed to volunteer work in the community as a child. His parents worked in the Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps, the

same group he would eventually join and where he met his future wife, Pat. Strauss achieved the rank of Eagle Scout as a part of Mineola’s Troop 45. He also spent more than 20 years as a member of the New York Police Department’s elite Emergency Service Unit. Strauss experienced the aftermath of Sept. 11 firsthand, being part of the team that searched through rubble for survivors. Continued on Page 45

Hofstra student faces long recovery BY R OB E RT PELAEZ

Manhasset Secondary School ranks the highest of any North Shore school on U.S. News & World Report’s list of New York’s top 100 high schools. BY R OB E RT PELAEZ Eight high schools on the North Shore were named to U.S. News & World Report’s list of the nation’s 1,000 best schools on Tuesday. Of the eight listed in the report’s top 1,000 schools, only two cracked the top 200 nationwide. Manhasset High School led the charge on the North Shore, coming in at No. 162 overall and No. 17 in the state with Great Neck South High School not far behind at No. 188 overall and No. 21 in New York. After the top two on the North Shore were Herricks High School at No. 276 overall and No. 33 in New York, Roslyn High School at No. 340 overall and No. 39 in the state, North Shore High School at No. 430 overall and No. 47 in New York, Great Neck North at No. 444 overall

and No. 48 in the state, Wheatley School at No. 610 overall and No. 64 in New York, and Paul Schreiber High School at No. 705 overall and No. 71 in the state. All eight schools remained on the list from last year, with state rankings changing slightly. Schools whose state rankings improved over the past year include Manhasset, going from No. 23 in the state last year to No. 17 this year, Great Neck South going from No. 26 last year to No. 21 this year, Roslyn going from No. 42 last year to No. 39 this year, Great Neck North going from No. 60 last year to No. 48 this year, Herricks going from No. 46 last year to No. 33 this year, and Schreiber High going from No. 71 last year to No. 64 this year. North Shore High went from No. 38 last year to No. 47 this year, and Wheatley went from No. 40 last year to No. 64

this year. “It is an honor that our schools continue to be recognized among the best high schools in the state and the entire country,” Great Neck School Superintendent Teresa Prendergast said in a statement to Blank Slate Media. “This recognition reflects the accomplishments of our students, the quality of our programs, the work of our dedicated educators, and the support of our entire school community in providing outstanding educational opportunities for all students.” “It’s gratifying to have the high academic performance by the students of Herricks High School highlighted by a national publication,” Herricks Superintendent Fino Celano said in a statement to Blank Slate Media. “Our students work hard and continue to rank among the best Continued on Page 45

U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice (DGarden City) and Nassau County Executive Laura Curran condemned the acid attack that left a 21-year-old Hofstra student fighting for her life last month. Nafiah Ikram, a 21-year-old Hofstra student and a graduate of the Sewanhaka Central High School District, was the victim of the attack on the night of March 17 outside her Elmont home. She and her mother parked their car outside their Arlington Avenue home and were about to walk inside when an unknown man ran up to her and threw acid on her face. Footage of the incident was caught on a neighboring house camera. “The horrific acid attack on Nafiah Ikram in Elmont is under active investigation by our Police Department,” Curran said last Thursday. “What happened to Nafiah is unacceptable, and we are committed to getting to the bottom of it.” When the acid was thrown in Ikram’s face, it caused her to

scream and acid then got into her mouth. Her tongue and throat were burned as a result, according to a GoFundMe campaign that has raised more than $510,000 for Ikram and her family. Ikram ran into the house, where her parents attempted to help her, but the acid burned her parents’ arms and hands as well, the GoFundMe page said. The acid caused “severe burning” on Ikram’s eyes, chest and arms, according to the post. She was also wearing contact lenses, which were melted to her eyes as a result of the acid. “It’s still very cloudy and hazy. I can’t read out of my eye. I can’t, like if I close my eye, I can see there’s a light there, I can see what you’re wearing but I can’t see you,” Ikram said in an interview with ABC News. “I can see my hand but I can’t tell how many numbers there are.” Eﬀorts to reach Ikram or a family member for further comment were unavailing. “We’re shocked by this horrific attack, and our thoughts Continued on Page 45

Glen Cove man charged with theft

Peter Quartararo, partner allegedly stole $436,000 from investors in stock offerings BY R O S E W E L D ON A Glen Cove man and his business partner were arraigned last Wednesday on charges that they stole $436,000 from investors who believed they were investing in preinitial public offering stock for highprofile tech companies, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said. Singas’ office charged Peter Quartararo, 56, of Glen Cove, with five counts of grand larceny in the second degree, one count of grand larceny in the third degree, one count of conspiracy in the fourth degree and one count of scheme to defraud in the first degree. If convicted on the top count, the maximum sentence is five to 15 years in prison. Also charged is Quartararo’s business partner Paul Casella, 54, of East Meadow. The district attorney’s office said that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission referred the case to the local authorities earlier this year. According to Singas, in April 2019 Quartararo met with four investors and told them that he had

A Glen Cove man and his businesss partner have been charged with defrauding investors by claiming they would be investing in tech companies. access to “pre-IPO” or pre-initial public oﬀering stock in the companies Peloton, WeWork and/or Airbnb for approximately $2 a share. Quartararo told them that when the companies later went public, he would sell the shares and give the profits to the victims, less capital gains taxes. Each victim allegedly gave

Quartararo between $72,000 and $200,000 in checks with the understanding that the funds would be used to purchase the pre-IPO shares, according to the district attorney’s oﬃce. In reality, Quartararo had been barred from operating as a stock broker in March 2013 by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,

and the SEC later confirmed that no shares of IPO stock in Peloton, WeWork and Airbnb were ever purchased by Quartararo or Casella. Instead, the victims’ checks were deposited into accounts controlled by Quartararo’s father, Leonard, and Casella. These funds were then allegedly used by the men to purchase food, travel and vehicles,

including a 2020 Mercedes-Benz SUV and the down payment on Quartararo’s Maserati automobile. Several large cash withdrawals were also made by Quartararo’s father. “These defendants allegedly conned investors to give them hundreds of thousands of dollars promising high returns from prominent companies, but instead they pocketed the funds to support their lavish lifestyles,” Singas said. “Investment frauds cost innocent Americans billions of dollars each year and I encourage every investor to verify the credentials and licenses of any financial professional they work with and to report any suspicious activity to my oﬃce.” The case is being prosecuted by Senior Investigative Counsel Richard Sikes of the Financial Crimes Bureau. The Civil Forfeiture Bureau has assisted in identifying any available assets. Quartararo is being represented by Gerard Donnelly of Hauppauge and Casella is being represented by Joseph Murray of Kew Gardens. Eﬀorts to reach the defense lawyers were unavailing.

G.N. rallies to condemn anti-Asian hate Suozzi cites Trump’s rhetoric for spike in violent acts against Asian-Americans BY K AT I E F E N T O N Hundreds of people gathered at Firefighters Park in Great Neck on Sunday to condemn anti-Asian discrimination and call for solidarity during a “Unity & Love” rally. The rally, which was organized by the Great Neck Chinese Association (GNCA), featured speeches by local leaders and officials, including U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi (D-Glen Cove), state Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck), Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and others. Suozzi opened his speech by addressing the increase in hate crimes against Asian-Americans over the past few years. “In 2020, hate crimes in the United States of America actually went down by 9 percent,” Suozzi said. “But hate crimes against Asian-Americans went up by 150 percent. New York City saw an increase from three hate crimes in 2019 to 28 hate crimes in 2020 – the biggest increase anywhere in the country. While there have been very few

Hundreds marched from Firefighters Park to Village Green Park in Great Neck to show support for the Asian-American community on Sunday. cases reported in Nassau County, we know that many cases are unreported altogether. We need people to stand up.” The congressman also emphasized the importance of leadership, citing former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric as a

factor in the rise in anti-Asian sentiment. “Why do you think we saw such a dramatic increase in antiAsian hate crimes? Because the previous president was out there saying things like ‘the Chinese virus.’ Because you heard things

like ‘the Hong Kong flu.’ Leadership matters. The things you say matter,” Suozzi said. Suozzi was followed by Rep. Grace Meng (D-Queens), who co-authored the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act that the Senate passed last week. The bill is

expected to be voted on by the House in May and would create a position in the Department of Justice to expedite the review of hate crimes and establish more ways to report them. In her speech, Meng discussed the importance of the awareness and support that the GNCA’s rally and similar events aim to raise. “People are telling their parents and their grandparents to not go outside. People are telling their own kids not to play outside even though it’s nice out,” Meng said. “As a kid born and raised in New York City, I have never in my entire life seen and felt such widespread support from so many people beyond the Asian-American community.” Meng said that the increased focus on preventing hate crimes is just one part of the solution to anti-Asian discrimination, calling attention to the need for equal access to opportunities and funding. She pointed to solidarity between marginalized communities as an essential vehicle for change. Continued on Page 46

Kaplan outlines $1B to aid businesses More than $800M in state grants to provide relief for local companies with 100 or less workers BY R OB E RT PELAEZ State Sen. Anna Kaplan (DGreat Neck) and local oﬃcials outlined $1 billion in the state budget to aid small businesses last week. Kaplan, who chairs the Senate’s Committee on Commerce, Economic Development and Small Business, said she was proud to fight for state funds that will be distributed to the county’s small businesses. “The pandemic has been devastating to New York’s small business community, and they need our help if they’re going to survive these challenging times,” Kaplan said. “I’m proud to have fought to bring back over a billion dollars in grants and other assistance for our small businesses in the state budget.” Featured in the budget are $800 million in state grants, which are part of the COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant Program targeted to provide financial

for restaurants that fell prey to the extended indoor dining ban. Another $25 million was allocated to restaurants that provide meals to those in economically disadvantaged communities. Another $40 million in state grants will be distributed to the state’s nonprofit arts programs for mortgage, rent and operational expenditures. The program, oﬃcials said, will be overseen by the state’s Council on the Arts. “This will allow the shops in our downtowns, arts and entertainment venues and many others recover and bring back jobs,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said. “We are on the other side of this pandemic and support like this, coupled PHOTO COURTESY OF SENATOR ANNA KAPLAN with our robust vaccine rollout, will fast-track us on our road to recovery.” State Sen.

Wilson was arraigned last Wednesday and was charged with second-degree murder and four counts of attempted murder, oﬃcials said.

If convicted of all charges, Wilson could face 25 years to life in prison, according to Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas. His next court date was set for May 12, according to oﬃcials. Stop & Shop President Gordon Reid said in a statement to Newsday that he was “shocked and heartbroken” by the incident. “Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, our associates, customers, and the first responders who have responded heroically to this tragic situa-

GOP calls on Curran to give back donation Republican legislators question timing of $20K given to county executive’s campaign BY R OB E RT PELAEZ The Nassau County Legislature approved a bill on Monday that requires individuals who reside or work at historic homes and county-owned properties to disclose political campaign contributions. The 19-0 vote will increase oversight on county real estate deals. The vote came at a time when Republican lawmakers called on Nassau County Executive Laura Curran to return a $20,000 donation made by Karli Hagedorn, the chairwoman of the Sands Point Preserve Conservancy, earlier this year. According to Newsday, which obtained state campaign filing records, Hagedorn donated the funds to Curran’s campaign on Jan. 11, the same day the Legislature approved a special use and occupancy permit for her and her husband for the Mille Fleurs mansion in Sands Point. Smith & DeGroat of Mineola, the real estate team that oversees the county’s historic

properties, is currently required to disclose campaign donations, but the actual permit holders for specific properties are not required to, according to a county disclosure law passed in 2016. Karli Hagedorn, in a phone interview with Blank Slate Media, said she and her husband were used to providing contributions on the last day that filings were due. The deadline for the January 2021 periodic filing calendar did occur on Jan. 11, according to the state Board of Elections. Hagedorn, who has served as the conservancy’s chairwoman since 2009, said that the timing of the contribution had no correlation with the Legislature’s permit approval for the Sands Point property. “How the timing coincidence happened, I truly couldn’t tell you,” she said. “I was proud to support her and to vote for her. There is absolutely no relationship there.” Hagedorn said she and county oﬃcials were in talks to obtain permits to help preserve

County Executive and Republican Edward Mangano’s campaign in 2013. Records analyzed by Newsday also showed her husband, James Hagedorn, has contributed $50,000 to the Curran campaign since 2017, along with another $50,000 to the Hicksville Republican Committee and $1,500 to the Mangano campaign in 2012. “It is unfortunate for Laura Curran that [the Republican legislators] are making something of this. It doesn’t make sense to me,” she said. “For the last 15 years this PHOTO COURTESY OF THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE’S OFFICE property has been a solid revenue generator that has helped Republican officials called on Nassau County Executive the County oﬀset expenses that Laura Curran to return a $20,000 campaign donation from would otherwise fall onto taxpayers,” Michael Fricchione, a the chairwoman of the Sands Point Preserve on Monday. spokesman for Curran, said in a Hagedorn said she and statement to Blank Slate Media. the mansion nearly three years ago, and did not keep constant her husband have donated to “The County Executive does not monitors on the approval pro- campaigns of people in both play any role in selecting permit cess.

Swastikas deface elementary school Town officials decry latest expression of hate in North Hempstead, call for unified opposition BY R O S E W E L D ON

Two swastikas were spray-painted onto exterior walls at John Philip Sousa Elementary School in Port Washington, School Superintendent Michael Hynes reported to the community in a letter on Sunday night, and a person of interest has been identified, the Port Washington Police District reported Wednesday. “At approximately 6:40 p.m. [Sunday] evening, the district was notified that two large swastika images were discovered painted on the front and rear exterior facades of the John Philip Sousa Elementary School,” Hynes wrote. “The Port Washington Police and the Nassau County Police departments were immediately notified. The district is working with law enforcement to conduct an investigation and will take all appropriate action at the conclusion of the investigative process. I am outraged this has happened and will make sure we do everything we can to find the perpetrator(s).” Hynes added that the images would be removed by the time students reported to school the following morning and that the district would work with the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Head to educate students on hate symbols. “The district has a zero-tolerance for

Port police said Wednesday that officers have identified a person of interest from security camera footage taken around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday. The notyet-identified individual appears in the footage to be male with black hair, and

is wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with an orange and yellow graphic, black pants with strips running down each leg, and white sneakers. “Once the Port Washington Police concludes its investigation, we will update the community on its findings,” Hynes wrote. Board of Education President Norah Johnson called the anti-Semitic vandalism “a deplorable act that cannot and will not be tolerated by the Port Washington

School District” in a statement on the board’s behalf. “As Board members and as Port Washington residents, we are both saddened and angered at this act of hatred against a specific segment of our community. From the moment we learned about this horrific criminal act, our administrators notified law enforcement and have been working with both the Port Washington and Nassau County police departments to bring the perpetrator to justice,” Johnson said. Oﬃcials from the Town of North Hempstead, including Supervisor Judi Bosworth and Councilwoman Mariann Dalimonte, condemned the acts in statements. “The rise of hate crimes throughout the country is extremely upsetting, and it becomes even more upsetting when something oﬀensive like this occurs in our own backyard,” Bosworth said. “It is essential that all community leaders denounce these types of evil acts with displays of strength, unity, and advocacy for all individuals regardless of their race, gender, and religious beliefs. Standing together as a community, we must continue sending a powerful message that we will not tolerate messages of hate in North Hempstead.” Continued on Page 46

LIRR conductor returns lost jewels $107K in rings left on train on Port Washington line by Roslyn jeweler BY R O S E W E L D ON

Over $107,000 worth of engagement rings, some with embedded diamonds, were returned to a Roslyn jeweler by a Long Island Rail Road conductor after they were left on a Port Washington branch train last week. Ed Eleasian, a Roslyn resident whose wholesale jewelry business Elie International is based in Manhattan, was commuting home on the 6:11 p.m. train from Penn Station to Port Washington last Thursday. Accompanying him was a case of rings, which he intended to show a cousin. But the morning after he exited the train at the Plandome station, Eleasian realized that he had left the rings on the train. “I said, ‘What did I do with his bag?’” he recalled to The Daily News. “‘I said, ‘Oh my God. I left it on the train.’” Soon after Eleasian left the train, Assistant Conductor Jonathan Yellowday of Murray Hill, Queens, was preparing to call out the Port Washington stop over the loudspeaker when he noticed a black case on a seat. Yellowday brought it to a private train compartment and opened the

saw the price tags.” The conductor got on the next train to Penn Station and turned the case in the same night. Eleasian joined LIRR President Phil Eng and MTA board member and Vice General Chairman of the Sheet

Metal Air Rail Transportation Union (SMART) Vincent Tessitore on Friday afternoon to give Yellowday a commendation for his actions. “Not only did you find and return these 36 rings, but just think about the happiness of 36 couples down the road that will be joined together in happiness, and they’ll have a story to tell,” Eng told the conductor. “So, thank you for your heroic actions and saving the day for 36 future couples. I understand the value of these diamond rings, but everything found and returned to the customer is immensely important to them. You treated this just as you should have and it’s another proud day for us at the railroad.” Yellowday, a seven-year veteran of the railroad, said that while he has found wallets and phones, nothing could come close to matching this find. “I could only imagine what you were going through yesterday when you realized that you didn’t have your jewelry,” Yellowday told Eleasian at their meeting. “You know when you get on the 6:11 you’re in good hands.” Eleasian also told The Daily News that he intends to make Yellowday a ring of his own as another way to say thank you.

Opinion

OUR VIEWS

Downtown districts’ future could be bright

surprising consensus emerged among experts at Blank Slate Media’s recent town hall on revitalizing Nassau’s downtown business districts – that their future was bright. This was somewhat unexpected given the toll downtown businesses have taken from online retailers and shopping malls even before a deadly pandemic shut businesses and kept customers home for many months. Empty storefronts were common in downtowns like Great Neck before COVID-19. And, yes, it is true that the five panelists who participated in the town hall consisted of Nassau government oﬃcials and business leaders who promote and, in some cases, profit from vibrant downtowns. But the panelists made a strong case that threatened downtown business districts, which serve as the heart of many communities, can thrive going forward. Provided government, developers and residents work together. Eric Alexander, the director of Vision Long Island, said 20 downtowns had done this before the pandemic hit by presenting “very robust” plans for redevelopment based on government, businesses and residents working closely together – a key all five panelists said was essential to success. Alexander acknowledged that most downtowns in Nassau had lost an average of three stores during the COVID-19 pandemic. But, he added, foot traﬃc had continued due to a “mass exodus” from New York City at the pan-

demic’s outset and the desire of people following COVID protocols to get out of their homes and interact with other human beings, at least at a distance and while wearing a mask. This is actually a model that shopping malls, once the bane of downtown districts, are now pursuing themselves. A vice president at a large development company recently said at a Long Island Regional Planning Council meeting that malls now facing store vacancies are being developed into towns that include residences, oﬃces and dining. The five panelists agreed that downtown redevelopment going forward must be built around transit-oriented, mixed-use developments. “To save our downtowns, what you have to do is put boots on the ground,” said Anthony Bartone, the managing partner of Terwilliger & Properties, a development company. “We have to put people in the downtowns. Once we bring in vibrance, retail will follow.” “The next generation wants to be near the train for ease of access to mass transit,” Bartone added. “The community wants to be able to walk downtown, not have to have an automobile. Believe it or not, this is a concept of many Long Islanders who live in transit-oriented developments in the downtown, actually not having cars here on the road.” Farmingdale Mayor Ralph Ekstrand, who has won acclaim for turning a village filled with vacant storefronts into a bustling downtown, said his board has approved eight transit-oriented development

projects. “It sort of snowballs,” Ekstrand said. “Once you have success with one transit-oriented development project, others follow.” The mayor added that the village’s first affordable housing development had recently been approved in an effort to “keep the youth on Long Island” and encourage them to visit the downtown area. A second key to the panelists’ optimism is the recognition by governments ranging from Washington to local villages of the need to support downtown redevelopment. Federal funds have already begun to flow through President Joe Biden’s COVID rescue plan. That is now being followed by $1 billion in grants and relief for small businesses recently enacted in the state budget. This includes $800 million in direct grants to small businesses that suffered losses due to the REPORTERS Rose Weldon, Robert Pelaez

pandemic, $40 million in grants to nonprofit arts and cultural institutions and $35 million in refundable tax credits for restaurants that were subject to an extended ban on indoor dining. Nassau is receiving $400 million in stimulus and relief funds and Richard Kessel, the chairman of the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency and the Nassau County Local Economic Assistance Corp., said the county has formed a committee to review proposals to use some of that money to aid downtowns. “We want to take a look not just at the big projects, you know, the Amazons, the superblocks, the transit-oriented developments,” Kessel said during the panel discussion. “We got to help downtowns. And I think we’ve made some very good strides, but we have to do a lot more.” This is consistent with a welcome focus of the IDA and the

Nassau County Local Economic Assistance Corp. under Kessel and County Executive Laura Curran on downtown development. We urge the county to find ways to aid entertainment venues such as the Landmark in Port Washington, My Father’s Place in Roslyn and the Gold Coast Arts Center in Great Neck. They are essential to attracting new residents and keeping in place those that are here. The opportunity and threat is particularly high with the Gold Coast Arts Center and the building it shares with a former movie theater. The development of the former movie theater into an entertainment center for movies, theater and live music would be a great boost for a once-thriving downtown area now filled with empty storefronts. Failing to develop the site would leave a gaping hole in the community. Continued on Page 50

KREMER’S CORNER

Is America in for better times after the bad?

uring the next few weeks my family will celebrate the 100th year since our parents, two teenagers, migrated to the United States to begin a new life and hopefully a better one. They carried all their belongings in one suitcase and left their parents behind in a small village in Romania. They made the lonely voyage not knowing what fate would befall them. Through unpredictable circumstances, they met in New York City at a function held by an organization of former residents of the same village. Luckily for me they married and raised two sons. Eventually, they made their way to Long Island where they lived most of their productive years. From time to time during my childhood, I would experience occasional taunts about my religion and I would bump into barriers that friends of other religions never had to endure. In the 1950s and beyond, I experienced an occasional in-

cident of anti-Semitism in various places, but I chose to ignore them. Once during my tenure in Albany, I had a face-to-face encounter with a now-deceased Assemblymember, who cursed at me using all of the time-worn religious slanders that I had been warned to expect by my parents. But somehow, I consider all of those insults mild and bland, compared to what our country is experiencing today. Whether you wish to admit it or not we are now living our lives in a mean-spirited and cruel environment that becomes worse by the day. Anti-Semitism, once fairly dormant, has risen far above the surface, thanks to the growth of new hate groups who are flourishing due to the rhetoric of the 45th president. But even worse is the ugly and persistent assaults on the life and liberty of millions of Black Americans. The best example of what Black citizens have endured is the George Floyd trial. After more than a year of anxiety

JERRY KREMER Kremer’s Corner

and protests, Derek Chauvin is now in handcuﬀs and awaiting a lengthy sentence, thanks to a panel of very brave jurors. But the thought that putting one bad cop behind bars will solve the hatred and the assaults on black Americans is pure fiction. Not a day goes by without some report of an arrest that went bad and some citizen usually black is the victim of the meanness that is dominating American society.

During the last 50 plus years, this country has experienced decades of racism with the black community as the target. There are not many people around who remember Alabama’s Gov. George Wallace standing on the steps of the University of Alabama on June 11, 1963 attempting to stop two black students from attending that school. It took 100 National Guard members, on the orders of President John F. Kennedy, to force Wallace to retreat. One day later civil rights leader Medgar Evers was assassinated in Jackson, Miss. Story after story of government cruelty to black citizens fill up the history books. Countless numbers of black individuals have suﬀered at the hands of a few rogue cops who were never been charged with crimes or were acquitted by runaway juries. The reputations of the good cops, who go about their duties each day with the determination to dispense fair justice, have

been sullied by the few misfits. The one vehicle available to all Americans to show their displeasure with government overreach is under daily assault. The Constitution protects peaceful protest, but it hasn’t stopped legislators in 34 states from introducing 81 bills to stop people from standing on a public street to express their First Amendment grievances. In Minnesota, lawmakers are pushing for a bill that provides that anyone convicted of unlawful assembly cannot hold a state job or receive student loans or unemployment insurance. The George Floyd trial may be a wake-up call to curb the current excesses of discrimination. Or regrettably, it may be just another brief flash of hope for results that will never happen. America is a great country blessed with so many good virtues. It isn’t too much to expect some type of awakening of the better angels.

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

This opportunity only rang once for me “Who knows what descriptive passages are?” the famous writer asked our class. Eager to shine, I put up my hand. “Descriptive passages are prose that describes a character, scene or action in a story.” “Wrong.” Wrong? How could that be wrong? It was the textbook definition! I had won a place in this very exclusive seminar by being one of 10 winners in Maryland’s branch of a national high school writing contest. The prize was admission to this weeklong workshop with famous writers. Novelist James M. Cain was the most famous of the bunch, thanks to films based on his novels, including “Mildred Pierce,” “Double Indemnity” and especially “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” I didn’t want to fight with the famous James Cain, but I was the only student there who’d won for both Poetry and Prose, so I was confident in my answer…and this cranky old man was making me mad. “It doesn’t matter what you think,” he continued, “or how beautifully they are written. Descriptive passages are just something the reader skips over, looking

for the next piece of dialogue.” I wanted to shout: What about the descriptions of whaling in “Moby Dick”? What about “White Fang,” written from the viewpoint of a wolf? What about most of Faulkner? But while I was planning my rebuttal, Cain had moved on. “Class dismissed! I will see you all at the party tonight.” Still, his argument stuck in my craw. I discussed it at dinner. “Well, he does have a point,” said a boy from the Eastern Shore. “I skip all that stuﬀ myself.” “But how do you know what anybody looks like or what they’re doing, without description?” I demanded. “How do you even know what’s happening in the story?” “You’re just mad because he tweaked your ego,” said one of the girls. Back in my room, I decided on the perfect rebuttal: I would write a story with no dialogue at all. And not just any story, but a murder! I opened my notebook. I created a mother, “a harried, care-worn woman of middle age, whose gray hair flopped exhaustedly over the lines in her face.” And she had a son. He was “not like any of the other boys. He was – well, diﬀer-

JUDY EPSTEIN

A Look on the Lighter Side ent. But that didn’t matter to her.” She called him to dinner – just another dinner like the thousands of others she’d served him, all of his life. But he wouldn’t come. “He was too busy watching the dust motes fly around in the patches of sunlight on his floor.” He had a chair – a favorite, wooden chair: “The sunlight slid like honey along the curves of its arms and back, and the dust motes flew in between, and he couldn’t bear to leave it alone for a second, not even to go eat the dinner that she had flung down on the kitchen table. Trying to come between him and his chair

with its shiny dust particles – he’d show Her what was important!” I wrote on, missing the party and all through the night, until I reached the point where the boy spots the carving knife and realizes it’s his only chance for freedom. At that point I looked up. The sun was peeking around the shades, and it was time for our final class. I handed my story over to Mr. Cain and waited to hear how I’d failed. “Please stay for a moment after class,” he said to me. Then he turned to the roomful of my peers. “I must make an announcement,” he told them. “I owe this young lady an apology. Her story has everything required and not one word of dialogue.” After everyone else had left, Cain cleared his throat. “I wonder if you would like to have lunch with me, sometime next week,” he asked. “You can bring your mother along if you like.” I was speechless, but eventually turned him down. What could we have talked about anyway? I was young, and knew far better than some old Hollywood geezer what made for a good piece of writing. Cut to: Years later, I’m a mom,

trying and failing to interest my boy in a book. We’d finished Harry Potter, and he turned up his nose at everything else –- “A Wrinkle in Time,” “The Borrowers,” even “Alice in Wonderland.” “Girl stories,” he called them. Finally, I tried the goriest book I’d ever heard of: “Redwall,” by Brian Jacques, supposedly full of epic battles drenched in blood. But here’s how it began: “It was the start of the Summer of the Late Rose. Mossflower country shimmered gently in a peaceful haze….” …and before the end of that sentence, my boy was done! I found my eyes zooming down one page and then another, looking desperately for a bit of dialogue. That’s when I realized that maybe James Cain knew a thing or two about writing after all. And then I realized how gracious he’d been to a young, fresh upstart like myself. I wanted to thank him or at least write him a “Funny thing about that” note. But it was far too late. James M. Cain had passed away 27 years before. That opportunity only rang once.

Protecting our waters in Nassau County

ver the last several decades, multiple organizations dedicated to improving water quality on our bays and harbors have emerged. A mix of local government, civic and not-for-profit groups have made a significant difference.In the 1980s Hempstead Harbor was in dire circumstances. Newsday had labeled it as “dying” due to sewage leaks from aging plants, rotting sand barges and low oxygen levels that lead to periodic fish kills. In response to this a citizen’s group, the Coalition to Save Hempstead Harbor (www.coalitiontosavehempsteadharbor.org) was formed in 1986 to bring attention to the problems plaguing the Harbor.Because of complex municipal jurisdictions, it was hard to get a governmental focus on the issues. In the mid1990s the idea for an inter-governmental group was conceived by Assemblyman Tom DiNapoli and former Sea Cliff Mayor Ted Blackburn. In 1995 funds were received from the New York State Department of State for a part-time director and to hire experts to prepare an in-depth Water Quality Improvement Plan and the Hempstead Harbor Protection Committee (HHPC, hempsteadharbor. org/ ) was born. The committee is composed of the villages of Sea Cliff, Sands Point, Flower Hill, Roslyn and Roslyn Harbor, the City

of Glen Cove, Towns of Oyster Bay and North Hempstead, and Nassau County. The committee works in conjunction with the Coalition to carry out an extensive water quality monitoring program. This coordinated approach has allowed the committee to tackle big projects like the restoration of Scudders Pond and re-opening the mouth of the harbor to clamming after decades of being closed to that activity.The success of HHPC quickly led to implementing another inter-municipal committee in the bay to the west, Manhasset Bay. in 1998 North Hempstead, Nassau County, and 11 of the now 13 watershed villages entered into an inter-municipal agreement to form the Manhasset Bay Protection Committee ( MBPC, www. manhassetbayprotectioncommittee.org ). A grant from the state Department of State-funded a Water Quality Improvement plan which was released in 1999. The committee is composed of the villages of Baxter Estates, Flower Hill, Great Neck, Kensington, Kings Point, Munsey Park, Manorhaven, Plandome, Plandome Heights, Plandome Manor, Port Washington North, Sands Point and Thomaston, Town of North Hempstead and Nassau County. The committee carries out water quality monitoring in conjunction with the Town Bay Con-

JENNIFER WILSON-PINES Earth Matters

stables and Nassau County’s Dept. of Health water quality lab. MBPC has created educational materials on multiple issues, a storm drain medallion marking program, and developed interpretive educational signage around the bay. In 1987 in Oyster Bay harbor, a group of citizens became concerned about a proposed development at the Jakobson Shipyard site on the Oyster Bay waterfront. Though it would have created economic development, it would have also led to pollution of the Bay’s namesake oyster beds. Friends of the Bay (FOB https:// www.friendsofthebay.org/ ) formed and by 1990 had defeated the development proposal. The group hired an executive director and led a public visioning process for the Oyster Bay waterfront. In 1997 the shipyard was purchased by the state and the

Town of Oyster Bay as the future Waterfront Center. FOB has carried out water quality monitoring, septic education, sponsors the annual Bay Day, restored the oyster sloop Christine, and created planning documents, culminating in the Watershed Action Plan. One of the key recommendations of the Plan was the creation of an inter-municipal Oyster Bay/ Cold Spring Harbor Protection Committee (OBCSHPC https:// www.oysterbaycoldspringharbor. org/ ). In 2012, Nassau County, the Towns of Oyster Bay and Huntington, the City of Glen Cove and 13 villages signed an agreement creating a new protection committee. OBCSHPC has worked with FOB on multiple projects and created a pet waste program, held beach clean-ups and planted sea grass. The Committees are watershed based. A watershed is an area of land which drains to a particular body of water. Some municipalities belong to more than one Protection Committee as their boundaries cross geographic-based watersheds. Most of the unsewered area in Nassau County is along the north shore, comprising nearly 70 percent of the land area of the north shore watersheds. Because of this, sister committees HHPC, MBPC and OBCSHPC worked jointly on the CESSPOOL Project

creating the Get Pumped LI website ( www.getpumpedli.org ) for homeowner education on maintaining septic systems which impact the north shore embayments. The three north shore Nassau committees are not alone. Going east, in 2010 a Protection Committee formed for Northport Harbor ( https://www.huntingtonny. gov/NHWQPC )composed of municipal, not-for-profit and civic groups to focus on impairments to the harbor from bacteria, nitrogen and harmful algal blooms like Red Tide that cause shellfish closures. There are three federally funded, EPA-sponsored water quality programs on the Island; The Peconic Estuary Program (PEP), the Long Island Sound Study (LISS), and the South Shore Estuary Reserve (SSER). All three have Citizen’s Advisory Committees that allow local stakeholders to have a voice in planning. Numerous local municipalities, civic and not-for-profit groups have contributed to improving water quality in the bays, harbors, streams, lakes and rivers across the island. The partnerships forged by inter-municipal groups and environmental organizations have succeeded at tasks that would have been overwhelming for individual municipalities or groups. That collective eﬀort over the decades has made the Island a better place for both people and wildlife.

THE BACK ROAD

In the shadow of darkness, 2 teenaged girls

he guilty verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial was, in no small part, the result of a video taken by a teenaged girl who witnessed the murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020. Fifty years earlier, on May 4, 1970, another teenaged girl found herself on the other side of a camera, her arms extended and mouth agape in horrified anguish, kneeling beside the body of Jeﬀrey Miller, one of four Kent State students shot and killed protesting against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia and the presence of the Ohio National Guard on campus. In an April 19, 2021 story in the Washington Post, reporter Patricia McCormick wrote about her meeting with a wary Mary Ann Vecchio, the then 14-year-old at the center of the Kent State photo. McCormick recalled, as “Mary Ann watched the video of George Floyd’s dying moments, she felt

herself plummet through time and space — to a day almost exactly 50 years earlier. On that afternoon in 1970, the world was just as riveted by an image that showed the life draining out of a young man on the ground, this one a black-andwhite still photo” taken by Kent State student John Filo. The impact of certain images cannot be underestimated. In her story, McCormick referenced a few more, including the protester standing alone in front of a line of tanks in Tiananmen Square in China and the unforgettable photo of Kim Phuc, the naked Vietnamese girl fleeing napalm that has just set her home afire. Perhaps a lesser-known photo was the subject of the book Sons of Mississippi. The photo, which originally appeared in a 1962 issue of Life magazine, portrays a gathering of seven Mississippi sheriﬀs at the University of Mississippi just prior

ANDREW MALEKOFF The Back Road

to the admission of its first black student James Meredith. One of the sheriﬀs is wielding an axe handle as if were a baseball bat, to the obvious delight of the others. They are anticipating the upheaval to come as James Meredith is about to integrate the University of Mississippi. In his discussion of the photo of the sheriﬀs, the author Paul

Hendrickson cited poet Mark Strand who, referring to a certain artist’s (Edward Hopper) work, said “The shadow of dark hangs over them, making whatever narratives we construct around them seem sentimental and beside the point.” Which, to me, is another way of saying, sometimes no words are necessary. When she was called to the witness stand in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, Darnella Frazier was asked by the prosecutor, “What did you see?” She responded, “A man terrified and scared, begging for his life.” Yet, Darnella’s video requires no accompanying narrative – it speaks for itself.According to McCormick, when Mary Ann Vecchio watched the video of George Floyd’s death last May, “she was so shaken . . . she jumped oﬀ her couch and yelled at the crowd in the video.“Mary Ann,” McCormick said to her, “It seems to me that

you’re still that girl in the photo, you’re still that girl saying, ‘Doesn’t anyone see what’s happening here?’” Mary Ann, who confesses to feeling stuck in that moment halfa-century ago, says that she feels like she needs to do something good. To which McCormick tries to reassure her, “In that moment when you knelt over Jeﬀrey Miller’s body you expressed the grief and horror that so many people were feeling. You helped end the Vietnam War.” Fifty years later, when she felt helpless to do anything else to deal with the terror of a traumatic event playing out at close range before her eyes and in the shadow of darkness, Darnella Frazier had the presence of mind to take out her cell phone in broad daylight and start filming. In so doing she brought light to a troubled nation and she brought justice for George Floyd.

VIEW POINT

Berkowitz’s experience, dedication needed

he diﬀerence between Michael S. Glickman who seeks to unseat Barbara Berkowitz from the Great Neck Board of Education is stark: Glickman’s focus is on what he calls “transparency” and complaints over inadequate parent and community engagement (while ignoring all the district’s mechanisms for parent and community engagement), while Berkowitz’ central focus and mission, demonstrated over the decades she has been engaged in Great Neck’s public education, has been on doing what needs to be done so that every Great Neck child can fulfill their potential and succeed in life. Glickman could use the same verbiage and attacks in any campaign, from federal to state to local oﬃce and in fact, did in his failed campaign for Great Neck Plaza trustee in 2010. One thing that has distinguished the school district is the culture on the board of education – congeniality, respect. Watching the board for the past 30 years, I’ve been awed how trustees took the slings and arrows

of emotionally intense, even irate parents and community members, listened patiently, and never failed to act with the interests of students foremost, often with Solomon-like wisdom, as when solving the burgeoning crisis with overcrowding at South schools by creating an “option zone” rather than forced redistricting, and managing to keep the budget within the statemandated tax cap while preserving low-class size. Berkowitz has devoted decades to the school district, starting with the parent-teacher organization at Baker Elementary, the shared decision-making committees and UPTC, joining the school board as a trustee 29 years ago, and leading the board as president of the Board since 2006 and before that, vice president. Over the years, Berkowitz has presided over the hiring of three superintendents, navigated stormy seas of economic recession, statemandated tax caps that do not take into account growing enrollments, changing demographics, and multiple bond issues to maintain and expand the vast infrastructure de-

cades old, and through it all, kept the hallmark standard of low-class size, so fundamental to our children’s academic success. All the while, as other school districts have had cannibalize their curriculum and programs down to what is specifically mandated, Great Neck students have been able to thrive with robust theater, music, arts, science research, Model UN, Model Congress, Mock Trial, Robotics, sports, clubs, a thick catalog of AP oﬀering and state-of-the-art education technology initiatives that are the envy of

school districts, none of which are “givens” in the decades-long antitax, anti-public education crusade. Then there’s the summer recreation, enrichment and academic intervention programs which Berkowitz, over the years, has guided to being virtually self-sustaining, plus extensive guidance counseling, reading and language assistance, psychological services; robust Adult Education, GED and community education programs; SEAL Academy, a special needs program that brings tuition-paying students from out of the district. Universal pre-K, expanded with the opening of the JFK school in addition to Parkville; Fun for 4s and SCOPE daycare to meet the needs of working parents. Her respect for the community is reflected in her advocacy for adding the Lunar New Year holiday to the school calendar. The board under Berkowitz seized on anti-bullying initiatives and continue to imbue a culture of inclusion, acceptance, respect that are manifest in programs at individual school communities. And after Columbine, the

board completely restructured the district around safety and security needs, necessitating personnel, infrastructure, policy and budgetary changes. And now, she has captained the district through the coronavirus pandemic. Some 6,800 students attend Great Neck public schools – a number that has steadily risen since the early 1990s — but another 2,000 Great Neck resident students attend parochial, private and other school settings. The budget allocates millions of dollars for their transportation, textbooks, nursing care and other services. Berkowitz never begrudges and always says, “We gladly pay – they are our students too.” She leads a $252 million budget, manages 2000 employees and multi-million dollar infrastructure spanning 18 buildings. Notably, these are skills she could have applied as CEO of a massive, complex organization and earned a sixfigure salary for the past decades, instead of working for free on behalf of the community in what is too often a thankless effort.

OUR TOWN

The high cost of neurosis in our lives

ourteen months of a global pandemic has produced much to be worried about. We now live with the fear of death from the virus, the fear of physical injury due to class riots and the fear of yet another financial breakdown. All this can aptly be called traumatic and like all traumas, it brings overwhelming, confusing, unnerving and startling anxiety. A friend confided in me that though he thought of himself as strong and macho, each time he saw a text from his doctor about to let him know of his last COVID test results, his heart would be racing. This is a sign of deeply repressed anxiety which we now can all relate to. We respond diﬀerently to these traumas and some adults have eﬀective coping strategies, but some do not. Trauma causes a desire to withdraw in order to avoid any reexposure to the traumatic event. It can also produce sleeplessness, hypervigilance, survivor guilt, the overuse of alcohol and more. I would bet my bottom dollar that most of these newly established, nationwide symptoms and syndromes will go untreated. This brings up a more general question

of why people who suﬀer serious emotional stress resist treatment. Many years ago I did some field research with one of my interns to explore that question in detail. As a sport psychologist, my interest was in determining why athletes who are obviously suﬀering with anxiety or despair resist sport psychology. What we discovered was that although most readily admitted that they needed help, only a few had sought it out. The reasons usually included a lack of trust, a feeling that it would stigmatize them or that it would be far too costly. We shall not address the trust issue here, but let us confront the simple question of the costs. Most people think of the cost of therapy but not the cost of untreated neurosis. When people resist therapy, they are alone with their neurosis and this leads to acting out. Sexual acting out can lead to divorce, which will cost upwards of $250,000 on average due to lost income, legal fees, loss of home etc. Drug addiction can lead to illness, rehab, loss of work and even premature death. Anxiety, if left untreated, leads to chronic avoidance and the person will never earn up to their true earning abil-

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town

ity. Depression is a crippling disease which leads to loss of work or even suicide. In this light, it is hard to argue against eﬀective therapy. Without it, people tend to act out in selfdestructive ways. I have seen people give away $75,000 to a family member for fear they will otherwise be abandoned. I have seen people give away $350,000 out of pity to a poor “victim.” Altruism is a commendable trait, but don’t you think that’s carrying it too far? In big money sports, untreated psychodynamics in a neurotic owner, GM, head coach or team superstar can cost the organization upwards of $50 million. If you need proof, just review the history

of the Knicks or the Jets as typical examples. On the PGA tour, for an athlete to endure a slump can easily cost them upwards of $5 million a year in lost revenue. And make no mistake that a big part of any slump is an intermingling of repressed rage, depression and anxiety. So whether you are a person who has a regular life or an athlete with an irregular life, you will find that anxiety is a costly aﬀair. If the repressed anxiety is not “acted out,” it can be “acted in.” If the emotions are overwhelming but completely repressed, they must go somewhere and sometimes will go into the body itself, which is then left with the challenge of dealing with them. Hans Selye, the father of stress-related disorders, outlined how unresolved anxiety produces a variety of psychosomatic illnesses including migraines, back pain, forms of arthritis, hives, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, hypertension and more. In other words, these untreated and overwhelming emotions are costly indeed. The next question is how costly is therapy. Take the case of the person who spent $350,000 due to inappropriate pity. Even if that person went to therapy

twice weekly for a year and spent $300 each week out of pocket, that would be $15,000. That is only 4 percent of the total cost that the neurosis cost him. For a team to retain a parttime sport psychologist consultant, it would cost them about $150,000 per year. The interventions would certainly have a positive impact on the team dynamics and might, in fact, help them to avoid all the heinous legal actions, lawsuits and media scandals which cost the team owners many millions. Sigmund Freud, Heinz Kohut and Ralph Greenson are three who explained why people resist therapy. They suggested that resistance is based upon narcissism, distrust, the guilty need to suﬀer, the desire to gain sympathy or the ill-advised attempt to relive traumas in order to master them. Let us add to this list, yet another reason why patients resist. In our busy modern world, money is tight, so who has the time or the cash for therapy? There are new cars, new homes, vacations, new medicine and tuition costs. The rejoinder to the above is as follows. Simply put, the cost of therapy is far less than the cost of your favorite neurosis.

FROM THE DESK OF RICHARD NICOLELLO

Anti-Asian bias has no place In Nassau Nassau County has one of the fastest-growing Asian populations in America. Demographic estimates show that Asian Americans currently constitute about 10 percent of Nassau’s population. Across the country, acts of anti-Asian hate have occurred with an alarming frequency and we’ve seen several horrific acts committed in and around Nassau recently. It is imperative that the Nassau County Police Department and District Attorney’s Office have the resources to act on and prevent acts of hatred and violence. To that end, the Nas-

sau Legislature recently held a hearing to address this critically important matter. The hearing also focused on how the county combats and prevents all hate crimes and discrimination, including antisemitism and racial attacks. One of the takeaways from the hearing is ensuring that the NCPD provides targeted means for victims of hate crimes to report such crimes, including department personnel to communicate in the languages of our diverse population. In addition, the Legislative Majority is calling for an amendment to the New York

RICHARD NICOLELLO Presiding Officer

State bail reform law to prevent personal information regarding victims and witnesses from be-

ing shared with defendants in cases of hate crimes. The bail reform law mandates that prosecutors turn over to defendants within 15-days of arraignment the names and contact information of victims and witnesses. Many in our society, especially in emerging communities, are fearful to go to the police. Unless changed, the bail reform law will make it less likely that hate crimes will be reported and prosecuted. With the current climate of fear from physical and verbal assault within the Asian community and other racial bias incidents we are wit-

nessing, state leaders must immediately amend the law. Racial hate and bias have no place in our society and violence of this nature against anyone, is reprehensible and will not be tolerated. The surge in attacks around the country are in direct opposition to the freedoms we hold dear. I along with every member of the Nassau County Legislative Majority universally condemn such behavior and anyone committing crimes by acting in this manner should be apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Time for common sense gun legislation

his past week the kind of gun violence we’ve read about at a concert in Las Vegas, a school in Sandy Hook, a FedEx facility in Indianapolis, and countless other communities across our country, came to a Long Island grocery store. Ray Wishropp, a father and grandfather, beloved by his family and community, died at his workplace in an act of all-toofamiliar American gun violence.

We should not have to fear for our lives doing something as simple as going to work or shopping at a grocery store. Our children should not have to be locked into classrooms for protection, leaving teachers and parents faking smiles through their own fear as they try to provide a “normal” day for their kids. We cannot accept this as normal. New York is not immune to this national epidemic — and to save lives and end these sense-

less killings, we need more than thoughts and prayers –– we need the U.S. Senate to act on background checks on all gun sales and we need continued commitment from our leaders to fight gun violence. Because of loopholes in our current laws, nearly a quarter of Americans who obtain firearms do so without obtaining a background check –– including criminals, domestic abusers, and other prohibited buyers. And everyday

in America, more than 100 people are killed from gun violence and hundreds more are injured. As volunteer leaders with Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, we’ve seen the devastation left behind as families and communities are shattered in the wake of gun violence. We are grateful that U.S. Sens. Schumer and Gillibrand support a strong background check bill and urge them to

make it a priority in the Senate. We hope that our neighbors will join us in raising our voices on this issue. To join our nationwide, nonpartisan movement to end gun violence, text READY to 644-33. We don’t have to live like this. Melissa Gallo and Josephine Peterson Group Leads Long Island Moms Demand Action

Golden Age of NYC newspapers is long gone

pril 24 marked the seventh anniversary for the passing of George E. McDonald, who led the New York Allied Printing Trades Council. It closed the books on the glory days of New York City newspapers. In the 1960s, New York City was blessed with over 12 daily newspapers sold at thousands of neighborhood newsstands. I still remember many of Long Island’s own Newsday competitors from decades ago, such as the Long Island Star-Journal and Long Island Press, based in Queens, along with the shortlived Suﬀolk Sun. The Bronx

Home News suspended publication in 1948. The Brooklyn Eagle ceased publication in 1957. The 1962 newspaper strike lasted for 114 days before ending on March 31, 1963. Prior to that New Yorkers had numerous newspapers. These included the New York Post, New York Daily News, New York Journal American, New York World Telegram & Sun, New York Mirror, The New York Times, New York Herald Tribune, Long Island Star Journal, Long Island Press and Staten Island Advance. It was an era when a majority of citizens received their

news from newspapers, as opposed to television news. These broadcasts would be primarily local news, sports and weather, seldom more than 30 minutes. Technology and budgets were not readily available to send reporters out for remote coverage of national or international stories. Readers could select from morning, midday and late afternoon editions, available at thousands of newsstands. It was common to see many of several million commuters while riding the NYC Transit subway or Long Island Rail Road reading a paper to and from work. There were

thousands of newsstands all over NYC. Today there are fewer newspapers and only several hundred newsstands left. The profit margin for individual newspaper sales adds up to pennies. Newsstand owners need additional revenues to survive. They provide newspapers and other products many New Yorkers depend upon on a daily basis. As a result of the strike, the Daily Mirror ended publication in 1963. Even with the remnants of three papers that combined into one, the World Journal Tribune had the best reporters and features from the old New York Herald Tribune, World Telegram and Sun along with the Journal American but could not survive and folded in 1967. Today the Post, Daily News and Times continue to fight for survival. They face competition from other daily newspapers such as Newsday, Staten Island

Advance, USA Today and the Wall Street Journal. There are also freebies such as AM Metro New York. More people turn to all news radio, national network news such as ABC, CBS, NBC along with their local aﬃliates, NY1 (New York City), News 12 (Long Island), FOX-5, WOR-9, WPIX11, WLNY 10/55, PBS, along with cable news stations such as CNBC, CNN, FOX, BBC and the Internet for late breaking news, which can sometimes become stale by the time it reaches print the next day. A growing population of new immigrants support their own newspapers, radio and television stations. I still enjoy holding a hard copy of a daily or weekly newspaper in my hands to read decades later.

Let me commend to all of these gentlemen a legal opinion written by none other than Judge Learned Hand for a case dealing with plagiarism: “No plagiarist can excuse his wrong by showing how much of his work he did NOT pirate.” Which is to say that ignoring their own complicity in the dysfunction of the government branches they work for gives them no standing to complain about anyone else’s. They are all handmaidens of it. They aid and abet it. They live and breathe it. None of these bellyachers will ever summon their agency or advocacy to fix the wrongs they’re complaining about, and brought upon not themselves, but on all of us. They have one fatal conceit: they work in a closed ecosystem that not only rewards this level of government-sponsored decrep-

itude, it prevents any attempt at reforming it, because without it, they couldn’t survive. They know no other way outside of the hard shell of the monoculture of Nassau politics, and when it comes back to bite them, they seem be at a loss for actual solutions. They do exist, you know. But unfortunately, if they’re implemented, more than a few people fall oﬀ the gravy train. You can only nibble at the edges. You are forbidden to transform. So these fish are left to constantly ask themselves, as if in a dumb stupor, “why is it so wet all the time?” So go ahead, gentlemen. Waste your time, waste our time, waste your lives, waste your agency, waste ink, waste bandwidth, reduce your time in oﬃce to the very least you can do because that is all that is expected of you and what you expect of yourselves. There’s going to come a time in your lives when you will deeply regret not doing what you could have done, and how you squandered your careers acting like this. And I can guarantee that regret will hurt. Donald Davret Roslyn

Gun-safety steps long overdue

CHECK US OUT ON FACEBOOK AT FACEBOOK.COM/ THEISLANDNOW AND TWITTER: @THE ISLANDNOW

nother day, and sadly another day of gun violence. It is rampant and devastating to read about the daily reports of senseless crimes due to gun possession. Suicides, domestic violence, gang shootouts, hate crimes, racism, the anger and frustration produced by the pandemic and police brutality. Massacres, single shootings in schools, places of worship, beauty salons and even in plain sight when a gunman brutally shot two newscasters on television. Whether it be a massacre or a single shooting, one death due to gun possession is one death too many. Now, other innocent lives have been severed at a Nassau County supermarket. Those who know me, know that I have been a lifelong gun safety advocate. I worked hard to elect Carolyn McCarthy to Congress after her husband was shot in the 1993 Long Island Railroad massacre. I have continually supported gun safety legislation. In December 2008 I transitioned from a gun safety advocate to a survivor and an activist because I now had a vested interest. Our daughter was murdered by a teenaged burglar in possession of a stolen handgun. My heart goes out to all of those people who lost a loved one due to these horrific, senseless crimes. I know the pain that other survivors like me have experienced. This is America. We are

supposed to be a peace-loving nation, yet we have become a nation of violence. Basically, I believe these are the reasons for these crimes. The lack of legislation such as a universal background check and a “red flag” law. However, we will never achieve those goals without the representation of our elected oﬃcials. I wish America would follow Australia’s example. In 1996, following high-profile killing sprees, their federal government initiated strict legislation on gun ownership. Gun violence is a health and moral issue. At opposite ends of the spectrum are the pro-gun activists versus the gun-safety activists. They each have their own organizations to support their philosophy. While I would never even consider owning a gun, I recognize there are those who are hunters and hunting is a source of their food and recreation. That is their right. However, there are also the rights of people to expect to live their lives safely. As much as I would like to eradicate, the plethora of gun violence deaths, I do not think it will ever happen. However, I think there are steps to be taken to diminish these senseless deaths. On an educational level: create programs in schools emphasizing respect for diversity, create a national advertising program regarding the risks of gun own-

ership and emphasizing gun safety, allow doctors/pediatricians to talk to their patients about gun ownership, invest in a community-based anti-violence program and create “consciousness-raising” seminars for the police. On a legislative level: repeal conceal-carry permits, repeal “Stand Your Ground Law,” end immunity for gun manufacturers, invest in”smart guns,” enact universal background checks, expand the work of “violence interrupters” end the gun-show loophole, ban assault weapons to civilians, enact federal safe storage legislation. It may be unorthodox, however, why not create a project to coordinate meetings between responsible gun owners and gun safety advocates to determine agreed support for gun safety candidates and legislative issues that can be enacted. I do not expect all of the above measures to be implemented. However, if our society can take thoughtful steps to initiate some measures to stop these senseless crimes, we will move forward towards saving lives, not destroying them.

Barbara Berkowitz epitomizes commitment

hen I think of Barbara Berkowitz, Great Neck’s Board of Education president, I think of commitment. In the words of Abraham Lincoln, “Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuﬀ character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism.” Barbara Berkowitz epitomizes President Lincoln’s definition of commitment — commitment to the Great Neck Public Schools and to its Board of Education.

Mrs. Berkowitz’s commitment on the school level began years ago when she was active in and committed to the E.M. Baker School PTA, serving as its president and treasurer; editor of the school newsletter, Baker Bulletin; and founder of Family Math and Outreach Programs. She was also a member of the Shared Decision Making Committee at Baker and at North Middle. Her commitment grew to the district level, first as a delegate to the United Parent-Teacher Council (UPTC), then as co-chairperson of the UPTC Budget Committee, and finally, to the Board of Education. Mrs. Berkowitz has served on the Board as a trustee for 29 years and as board president since 2006, having been unanimously selected by her Board colleagues each year.

Mrs. Berkowitz has shown her commitment and her skills, and utilized her experience as a Board trustee, by shepherding numerous school projects, including: introducing a pre-K program at the north end of town, as well as oﬀering a Fun for Fours and SCOPE option for parents; making Lunar New Year a holiday for the Great Neck Public Schools; increasing security protocols, staﬀ, and equipment districtwide; enhancing Robotics, Recreation, and Technology initiatives; saving the Summer Program from elimination; increasing revenue sources to help with costs for unfunded New York State mandates; and, in response to COVID-imposed limitations, working closely with the CDC, Nassau County Department of Health, administrators, teachers, nurses, and parents on plans

to open schools in September 2020 with additional teachers and paraprofessionals, safely oﬀering remote, hybrid, and in-person instruction, in buildings equipped with additional furniture, thermometers, improved ventilation, and building-wide cleaning equipment and protocols. Mrs. Berkowitz helped guide the school district through some perilous times, including a microburst, a failed school bond issue, and now, the COVID pandemic. In each crisis, she used the resources and skills of administrators, teachers, parents, and board colleagues to achieve the best outcomes for the children who are the lifeblood of our schools. Each time final Board decisions were made, they were made in public, operating, as former Superintendent William Shine said

frequently of the Board, “under glass.” “Year after year after year,” I witnessed Barbara Berkowitz’s unfailing and selfless commitment first-hand, throughout her time serving on the board, when I was coordinator of public relations/publicity for the Great Neck Public Schools. Barbara Berkowitz is running for re-election to the Board of Education because of her love for the children and the community, and because of her commitment to both. Please show your commitment to your schools and to your community by voting for Barbara Berkowitz on Tuesday, May 11. Jessica Kovner Vega Great Neck Graduate and Parent of Two Graduates

Re-elect Berkowitz for a job well done

chool Board President Barbara Berkowitz is seeking re-election on Election Day, Tuesday, May 11. In my view President Berkowitz’ long record of service to our schools and the strong performance of the Great Neck School District clearly indicates President Berkowitz deserves to be re-elected. As a former board trustee and recent member of the board’s Citizens Advisory Committee, I think President Berkowitz deserves a lot of credit for the accomplishments

of Great Neck’s schools which by any measure, be it social, educational, financial, or managerial have been widely acclaimed. President Berkowitz is a tremendously valuable asset to the entire Great Neck community. Her knowledge of education issues and of the practical problems involved in leading a large, complex and influentialschool district, as Great Neck is, cannot be overstated. President Berkowitz has handled these matters successfully and with great caring and sensitivity for the wel-

fare of a large student body having many varying needs. One would expect that an opposing sharp critic of the district would come forward with a set of issues relating to educational programs, financial matters or more general matters relating to staﬀ, plant and equipment, safety, the environment and plans for the future of the District. No such case is presented by Candidate Glickman. He calls the school district “rudderless,” a comment that does a grave disservice to the other

trustees and highly qualified professional people who help guide the district. In my opinion, this unfortunate comment reflects back on the candidate’s own lack of understanding of the job he is seeking. When Mr. Glickman and I recently served on the board’s Citizens Advisory Committee, I never heard him take the opportunity to express any particular concerns. Further, this candidate’s background as an organizer of artistic and philanthropic operations gives us no clue as

to what is his thinking regarding key education and related issues. To sum up, President Berkowitz has been an outstandingly eﬀective trustee and president of the Great Neck School Board. In my view, the case for the opposing candidate is extremely weak and potentially very costly for Great Neck. I strongly urge voters to cast their vote to re-elect President Barbara Berkowitz on May 11. Leon Korbow Great Neck

Before you jump off the Glickman cliff, read this

n Michael Glickman’s parade of letters to the editor, he has accused two board of education members, one now deceased, of a litany of misdeeds including having an “inexpert approach to financial oversight and management,” employing “intimidation,” wondering if they have “blurred lines and engaged district employees in re-election eﬀorts” and, the most damning attack of all, questioning if they really care about the children of today’s district since their own children have long ago graduated. Who is this guy? What are the stellar attributes he would bring to the board of education? A quick Google search reveals

that in September of 2016, he was hired by the prestigious institution, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, as their president and CEO. By December of 2017, a lawsuit was filed against him and the museum by its CFO, Mohad Athar, charging that Glickman had harassed him, fired him, and discriminated against him based upon his race, religion, and national origin and retaliated against him in violation of the Federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, the New York State Human Rights Law, and the New York City Human Rights Law. Mr. Athar is Muslim. In March of 2018, the court issued an order of discontinuance, saying “It having been reported to

the court that this case has been or will be settled.” By 2019, Mr. Glickman was no longer employed at the museum. A few weeks ago, Mr. Glickman was harshly chastising Donald Ashkenase in a public letter; now, after Mr. Askenase’s untimely death, he is praising him, vowing to follow in his footsteps. It is quite easy to throw out unsubstantiated criticisms in spite of the fact that there has never been even a whiﬀ of scandal in the school district for the past 40 years; it is quite easy to add up the money spent to run a school district for the past 40 years and try to shock folks with the big number; however, it is very diﬃcult to lead a complex operation like

a school district and, at the same time, provide a well-rounded education for a diverse population of children with varying levels of educational needs. This complex operation requires strategic planning, understanding of the laws and mandates affecting education, being pro-active in improving the infrastructure of the grounds and buildings, safeguarding staff and students from a worldwide virus, establishing and maintaining congenial relationships throughout the organization and the broader community, honoring the confidentiality of student and staff, and having a healthy dose of diplomacy, compassion, and humility to guide a school district.

Mr. Glickman has not demonstrated any of these qualities. Mr. Glickman’s default tone is one of derision, arrogance, and immaturity. There is a sentence in one of his many letters, however, that I fully agree with: “Remember, the future of the district will be on the next ballot.” Barbara Berkowitz has the temperament, intellect, experience, commitment, and the heart to guide the school district as we enter the post-pandemic future and whatever challenges face us.

YOUR GUIDE TO THE ARTS, ENTERTAINMENT AND DINING

LAW AND ORDER COMES TO PORT WASHINGTON BY R O S E W E L D ON A popular television crime drama will film at Gino’s Pizzeria and Restaurant of Port Washington on Friday, the restaurant’s management announced via social media. “On Friday, April 30th, 2021 Gino’s Pizzeria of Port Washington will be closed for filming scenes of the TV show ‘Law and Order,'” the management wrote in a Facebook post on April 23. “We are sorry

for any inconvenience this may cause.” The Homeowners Association of the nearby HarborView retirement community said in an email to its members on Tuesday that the production would be using Lot 1 at the Port Washington Long Island Rail Road station for its base camp. “[The production staﬀ] will have the exclusive right to use two-thirds of the lot, the middle and eastern most parking lanes along South Bayles Avenue,” the association’s email said.

While neither the Port Boulevard restaurant nor the HOA has specified which of the two currently running “Law and Order” spinoﬀ series would be filming, “Special Victims Unit” or “Organized Crime,” the latter series has a brief history of filming in Port, having shot interiors featuring star Dylan McDermott at Louie’s Restaurant. “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” which premiered on April 2 on NBC, sees Christopher Meloni returning as NYPD

Detective Elliot Stabler, his character for the first 12 seasons of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.” According to NBC, Stabler comes out of retirement to take on the most dangerous crime syndicate in New York City. The restaurant has asked any aﬀected customers to patronize the Manhasset or Roslyn locations, which both deliver to Port Washington. Eﬀorts to reach management for comment were unavailing.

Ask the Guidance Center experts In this monthly column, therapists from North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center answer your questions on issues related to parenting, mental health and children’s well-being. To submit a question, email NSCFGCexperts@gmail. com. Question: We think our son might be engaging in unsafe driving behavior. The other night, he came home from being out with a friend and we could smell beer on his breath. Worse, he’d been the driver. What can we do? —Nassau Parents Dear Nassau Parents: You have reason to be concerned. The statistics are frightening: More teens die from motor vehicle crashes than any other cause of death, and teen drivers are 17 times more likely to be involved in a fatal car crash when they have alcohol in their system as opposed to when they are sober. The same holds true for marijuana and other drugs. A report from Liberty Mutual and SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions) found that one in five teens admit driving under the influence of marijuana, and one in four say they would take a ride from a driver impaired by alcohol or prescription drugs. While many adults make foolish decisions about driving when they’ve been drinking, teenagers are even more susceptible to feeling like they’re safe to drive even when intoxicated. Their brains are

still developing, and they tend to behave more impulsively, especially when they are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Plus, when they do consume alcohol, teens are more likely to binge drink than adults. While the good news is that drinking and driving among U.S. teens has gone down by more than half since 1991, they still drive after drinking an average of 2.4 million times a month. As a parent, you play a crucial role in your teen’s choices, even though sometimes it might not feel that way. Some ways you can encourage safe driving include:

Make a driving contract with your teen that agrees upon zero tolerance for drinking alcohol or using drugs when driving. Tell them that getting in a car with anyone who has been drinking or using substances is never OK. Promise you will pick them up if they end up in that circumstance. Insist upon a “no texting while driving” rule—or their phones will be taken away. Require seat belt wearing for both the front and back seats, even for a short trip. Consider limiting nighttime driving, especially if your teen is a new driver. Be a good role model: Follow all the rules of the road and never drink and drive.

Question: I hear about all the things people are accomplishing with their pandemic “down time,” but I feel more stressed than ever, since I’m working at home and have two kids who are in remote schooling part of the time. Am I being too hard on myself? —Tired All the Time Dear Tired: In a word, yes! Despite the fact that Shakespeare purportedly wrote King Lear during a pandemic, he surely didn’t have kids pulling on his cloak and asking for help with homework. The stresses brought on by the COVID-19 crisis have been overwhelming. Please give yourself a break! You don’t need to master crocheting or learn a new language right now. And don’t forget to take care of yourself while you’re focusing on everyone else’s needs. Whatever it is that soothes you—yoga, a warm bath, some time on Netflix—put it in your schedule. And ask for help, whether from your spouse, friend or another person who cares about you. You won’t be a good parent if you are burned out. During the pandemic, North Shore Child & Family Guidance Center is seeing clients remotely via telehealth platforms or, when deemed necessary, in person. To make an appointment, call us at (516) 626-1971 or email intake@ northshorechildguidance.org.

30 MOTHER’S DAY GIFT & DINING GUIDE • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 30, 2021

Creative Mother’s Day celebration and gift ideas On Sunday, May 9, 2021, millions of people will celebrate the special women in their lives, particularly the mothers, grandmothers and stepmothers who often tirelessly care for those they love. Created by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century and designated an oﬃcial United States holiday in 1914, Mother's Day is a special day in many families. Apart from birthdays, primary female caregivers may not always get the recognition they deserve, nor be entitled to a day to kick back and relax and let others take the helm. Mother's Day entitles them to something special. Even though the way people have been living has changed during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mother's Day may be the first holiday on the calendar when the world can finally regain some sense of normalcy. But caution should still prevail during Mother's Day celebrations. Thankfully, there are plenty of creative ways to celebrate mothers and mother figures this year. · Dine truly "al fresco." Outdoor dining has become commonplace, and even before it was a safety measure, enjoying a meal on a sun-soaked patio or overlooking a body of water was popular. If you're worried about limited restaurant space or crowds, plan a picnic at a scenic location, such as a botanical garden or county park. Include Mom's favorite foods and enjoy the fresh air and delicious foods together.

· Create a photo slideshow. Digital photos have eclipsed prints in many people's hearts. But too often digital photos never get seen after they're initially taken. That can change when you compile a slideshow of favorite photos from childhood and even present-day photos that Mom is sure to appreciate. Use sentimental music or Mom's favorite songs as the soundtrack, and include some inspirational quotations or personal voiceovers. This is one gift that can be shared in person or over group meeting apps. · Get involved together. An especially meaningful way to honor a mother who is always giving her time and love is to become involved in a diﬀerence-making organization. Joint volunteerism is a great way to spend more time together working toward a worthy goal. · Enjoy her hobbies and interests. Devote a day or more to trying Mom's interests and hobbies, whether they include hitting the links, knitting, singing in the church choir, or digging in her garden. · Send an edible gift. If you can't be there to celebrate with Mom in person, have a special meal delivered to her door. Then enjoy the same foods with her via Google Meet, Facetime or Zoom. Don't forget a tasty cocktail so you can toast the special woman in your life. Mother's Day celebrations can be unique, heartfelt and customized based on family needs.

see your mother for lunch, not everytime you look in the mirror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

32 MOTHER’S DAY GIFT & DINING GUIDE • Blank Slate Media Newspapers, Friday, April 30, 2021

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

Place a few pieces of mango in the base of each of four 2/3-cup ramekins. Wrap a creased collar of nonstick parchment paper around the outside of each dish, extending well above the rim. Secure with adhesive tape, then tie tightly with string. Pour the water into a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface. Leave for 5 minutes or until spongy. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water, stirring occasionally, until the gelatine has dissolved. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the superfine sugar and milk in another heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools. Whisk in the liquid gelatine. Puree the remaining mango pieces in a food processor or blender, then fold the puree into the egg yolk mixture with the orange rind. Set the mixture aside until starting to thicken. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Reserve 4 tablespoons and fold the rest into the mango mixture. Spoon into the ramekins until the mixture is 1 inch above the rim of each dish. Chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set. Carefully remove the paper collars from the souﬄés. Spoon a little of the reserved cream on top of each souﬄé and decorate with some toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut.

Addressing later-life sleep problems Some changes in our sleep patterns are perfectly normal as we grow older. Older adults tend to go to sleep earlier in the evening and wake up earlier in the morning. Research shows that older adults may need a little less sleep than they did in younger years. This is good to know, because, ironically, worrying about our sleep can actually make it harder to sleep! “But not all the sleep changes seniors experience are normal,” notes Gregg Balbera, President of Right at Home Nassau Suffolk. Balbera says that incontinence, pain from arthritis or osteoporosis, digestive problems, and the side effects of certain medications can affect sleep. Sleep problems can even be a long-term effect of COVID-19. Managing these health conditions can help our sleep — so important, because sleep problems are linked with memory loss, depression, high blood pressure, irritability that affects our relationships, and a lack of alertness that can cause falls and car accidents. Balbera says families should urge older loved ones to seek help for sleep problems. Their doctor may refer them to a specialist for a sleep study, which might include a portable sleep monitor at home, or could take place in a sleep laboratory. Here are some common conditions sleep specialists address:

Insomnia. Older adults with insomnia might have trouble falling asleep. Or, they might drift oﬀ, only to wake up a few hours later, or wake many times during the night, then feel sleepy during the day. Sleep specialists might recommend lifestyle changes, such as getting more exercise, avoiding caffeine, and improving the sleep environment. Treating anxiety can help. Medications might be prescribed, though this is the last choice. Sleep apnea. This condition causes a sleeper to stop breathing for short periods— from a few seconds to even minutes, often repeatedly throughout the night. Sleep apnea may be accompanied by loud snoring, but not always. It can cause a dangerous drop in a person’s oxygen level and can disrupt sleep all night, raising the risk of high blood pressure, stroke and memory loss. The sleep specialist might prescribe a constant positive airway pressure (CPAP) breathing device, or a mouthpiece that adjusts the jaw position. Sometimes surgery is recommended. Sleep-related movement disorders. We all shift position occasionally during the night. But abnormal movements at night can disturb sleep considerably. These include restless legs syndrome, in which a sleeper experiences unpleasant sensations in the limbs resulting in the urge to shift position frequently. Periodic limb movement disorder creates repetitive movements in the limbs for long periods of time. People with sleeprelated bruxism clench their jaws and grind their teeth while asleep. Treatments might include lifestyle changes, addressing underlying health conditions, or medication. Dementia-related sleep problems. “The brain changes of Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders can disrupt a senior’s sleep patterns,” says Balbera. “Some people

with dementia may sleep too much, while others have trouble sleeping much at all. The disease disrupts the body’s natural 24hour sleep and wake cycle, leaving a person’s sense of day and night reversed and fragmented.” Balbera says dementia care experts can offer suggestions to improve sleep, such as changing the person’s nighttime routine, diagnosing a urinary tract infection, or considering medication side effects. Daytime napping. “It’s a bit of a stereotype that older adults take a lot of naps,” says Balbera. “Plenty of people of every age take naps, and in some cultures, it’s considered a usual activity of the day. Napping can be beneficial, but also can interfere with sleep at night, so it is something else people with sleep problems should discuss with the doctor.” Second-hand sleep problems When a person has a sleep disorder, this can affect their sleep partner or others in the home. “A snoring spouse is the classic example,” says Balbera. “Earplugs or sleeping in a different room can help. The sleep of family caregivers also can be regularly disrupted if they need to get up at night to help their loved one to the bathroom.” People with dementia may exhibit “sundown syndrome,” when in the late afternoon and early evening, just as the caregiver is most tired, their loved one becomes restless, agitated and very much awake. The person may resist going to bed, refuse to stay in bed, and get up again and again in the night, leaving the caregiver exhausted the next day. Studies show that sleep problems are the No. 1 factor when families decide a person with dementia should no longer live at home, but in a care setting. Home care can help. Professional in-home care services promote good sleep and all-around health for older adults who live at home. Trained caregivers can provide supervision while family caregivers sleep. Professional caregivers help clients manage medical appointments and medications, get enough exercise, and eat well. They provide mental stimulation during the day that helps clients wind down for the evening. They ensure that the home is safe for clients who get up at night. “If a loved one has dementia, it’s important to hire from an agency that trains its caregivers on memory care issues,” says Balbera .“But no matter what the cause of sleep problems, professional caregivers provide peace of mind—and that might be the best ‘sleep medication’ there is!” folk

Geraldine Brooks to talk at author program The Friends of the Library is proud to present acclaimed novelist Geraldine Brooks as the featured speaker at its 52nd Annual Richard D. Whittemore Book and Author Program on Friday, May 14 at 12 noon via Zoom. For the first time, the Book & Author, the FOL’s sole fundraising event, will be held virtually. The program’s format will be very similar to that of the traditional luncheon. Program moderator Susan Isaacs, Port’s own best-selling novelist, will introduce Brooks, and FOL President Amy Bass will serve as Emcee. There will be a Q&A with the author. All registrants will be entered in a free drawing for a $1,000 gift certificate generously donated by the Americana Manhasset. Cost is $50 per person. To register for this online event visit pwpl.org/fol/bookandauthor. About Geraldine Brooks Geraldine Brooks is the acclaimed author of five novels: the Pulitzer Prize-winning March; the international bestsellers Caleb’s Crossing,People of the Book, and Year of Wonders; and, most recently,The Secret Chord. Her first novel,Year of Wonders: A Novel of the Plague,continues to be an international bestseller and has been translated into more than 25 languages. It tracks a housemaid’s perseverance and heroism as

the bubonic plague overtakes a British village in 1666. Brooks told the FOL: “My remarks will primarily focus on Year of Wonders, which I wrote 20 years ago, never dreaming that we would be facing a pandemic in our lifetime. I will also share some thoughts about Horse, my new novel due to be published early next year.”Horse is a “braided narrative” set in three time periods: the racing world of the mid-19th century, the birth of Abstract Expressionism in New York City in the 1940s, and the present day at the Smithsonian Museums.

Party of no drowns infrastructure plans

he GOP Trumplican Know Nothing party is clearly the party of “NO” and is quite content to let us all drown in Grover Norquist’s bathtub. Remember Grover? He’s the couponclipping, lucky-sperm dweeb, who doesn’t believe his unearned inheritance should have ever been taxed. He founded the

Americans for Tax Freedom organization that he used to whip what used to be the Republican Party en mass into signing his absurd, absolutist anti-tax pledge under penalty of being pilloried and primaried. The goal, he said, was to shrink the federal government so that it could go “down the drain of his bathtub.” There was

a direct connection between this so-called philosophy of governance and the resulting shortages of PEDs and other material needed to fight the Trumplican pandemic at the beginning. We ALL almost drowned in Grovers bathtub last year. Now the GQP expects us to let our infrastructure continue to crumble and settle

into obsolescence so they can continue their obsequiousness towards Grover and his “movement.” This should be the end, once and for all, of poor Grover and his short-sighted, self-serving, selfish nonsense. Eric Cashdan Sands Point

Berkowitz: daughter, wife, mother, friend

have the distinction of knowing both Michael Glickman and Barbara Berkowitz, and I absolutely can’t understand where his vitriolic, unfounded treatment of Barbara Berkowitz comes from! I’ve known Barbara Berkowitz for 39 years, almost as long as Mr. Glickman has been alive, and I’ll tell you about the real Barbara Berkowitz. I’ve known Barbara thru good times and bad: births, deaths, illnesses, and the challenges that life throws our way. I first met Barbara when our children were in a playgroup together as toddlers in a mommy’s group. I was immediately drawn to her compassion and her sense of humor. We came to know details of each other’s lives and, eventually, become so intertwined that we were “the family one chooses,” as they say. Whenever a parent or in-law passed away, she was the first person to be by my side. She and her wonderful husband, Barry, were there to hold our hands throughout the sad days, just as they celebrated every joyous occasion with us: New Year’s Eve, Halloween, birthdays, bar/bat mitzvahs, and

retirements. Whenever we needed something, Barbara was there for us, and she and Barry quickly became the center of our entire group of friends. We loved Barbara’s mother by extension and shared her pain when her mother could no longer be taken care of at home and required a move to a nursing home which Barbara visited daily until Covid struck. No mother could ever ask for a better or more devoted daughter than Barbara! When Barbara and Barry married, he was a widower, and Barbara raised his daughter as though she had been her child by birth. That’s Barbara: she cares for each child as though he/she were her own, which is why Mr. Glickman’s charge that since she no longer has a child in GNPS and, therefore, can’t know how it feels to worry about a child’s well-being, is one that is so incredibly absurd and insulting. If he knew anything at all about Barbara, he would have realized this. Barbara and Barry also doted on their son, and, along with his academic and career

successes, he is the kindest, nicest person, and everyone who knows him would attest to this. As they say, “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!” So now that you’ve heard a snippet of Barbara as a friend, daughter, and mother, let me tell you about Barbara, the wife. Barbara’s husband passed away unexpectedly in 2020. To say that this was devastating to Barbara (and to us all) is the understatement of the decade! Barbara spoke of his unwavering love and devotion, as well as his support, as she eulogized him. Each eulogy given spoke of their love and his enormous pride in Barbara’s school board service. I can only imagine how absolutely furious Barry would have been to read Mr. Glickman’s horrendous description of her in a letter he sent to the newspapers, as “ordinary.” Nobody would ever describe Barbara Berkowitz (nicknamed “Wonder Woman”) as ordinary! He would have been so hurt to read this, and all the other insults hurled, as he knew of her devotion to the school district and to the community. While Barbara mourned his loss, as did

we, her friends, it felt like much of the school district and community were mourning as well, as the respect she has earned in Great Neck is widespread and so well-deserved. Throughout this diﬃcult personal time, Barbara’s unwavering commitment to the school district and the community never faltered. The families of Great Neck are imbedded deeply in her heart and soul and, thru it all, she never lets them down. Don’t we owe her the same loyalty to not let her down in the upcoming school board election? This is exactly the kind of person you want representing the Great Neck Public Schools. This is the kind of person you want doing what’s right for your children. And this is the person you know to be honest, humble, responsive, strong, caring, and knowledgeable. A true leader. One who knows how to bring people together, not tear them apart. The choice is crystal clear. On May 11, vote with your head and your heart, and vote for Barbara Berkowitz. Gale C.

Glickman turned around Jewish museum

was troubled to read Carol Frank’s commentary of Michael Glickman in her letter entitled “Before you jump oﬀ the Glickman cliﬀ, read this” that appeared in the Great Neck News on April 27, 2021. She is entitled to her opinion as we all are; however, I feel compelled to make a statement and clarify any misconception that is inferred in Ms. Frank’s letter. As we all know, it is quite common for employees to take legal action against their former employers for a myriad of reasons and each case is given its turn in the justice system from the frivolous to the most serious. To take something as fact and attempt to use it to criticize someone’s character without having any firsthand knowledge of the situation or circumstances is reckless. As the person who was hired to assist Michael with the then modern-day vision and reinvigoration of an institution that needed to be relevant in today’s ever-changing world, I can attest to the fact that the museum was in a challenging position. There are a number of articles referencing that fact, including a Wall Street Journal article on February 8, 2015.

The fact is that Michael turned the institution around. He worked with the board and senior management to renew their mission and lead a positive transformation that is recognized and appreciated by both the casual observer and the institution’s closest stakeholders. He focused on his responsibility to honor the indomitable spirit of Holocaust survivors and the memory of the 6 million Jews who perished. He successfully improved museum operations, increased financial resources, grew staﬃng, philanthropy, visitation, and media coverage, and he implemented new strategies and initiatives for the benefit of world audiences. Michael worked to promote a vibrant, ethical, and inclusive environment, and the museum was a great place to work under his leadership. I don’t know anything about Great Neck schools, but I do know this: If Michael has committed to use his time and talents on their behalf, that is a gift that this community should accept. Michael is a leader who is decisive, builds working relationships and solves problems. He has respect for his colleagues and

works to empower others. He approaches his responsibility with a steadfast goal of maximizing the strengths of the existing staff and augment the team with new skills as needed. He hosted regular staff working groups and brown bag lunches across the institution. He provided informal opportunities to gather and talk about museum issues and provided resources for professional development opportunities so our colleagues could continue to be encouraged and supported in their jobs. He right-sized a number of departments, helped support a number of necessary staff departures, and aligned the salary structure both internally and against like-sized cultural institutions to retain and recruit staff. He set an ambitious path forward and provided institutional support to hire and develop a bestin-class staff that was dedicated to growing every aspect of the museum. Michael also worked closely with staff and members of the board to prepare accurate budgets, regularly monitor progress, and initiate changes as necessary. He helped the institution assemble a finance staff with strong technical abilities, a more efficient structure, a solid work ethic, and a dedica-

tion and willingness to complete the tasks required to be in compliance with governmental agencies. Michael was not shy about having to make diﬃcult decisions. In fact, the necessity to make challenging decisions required him to focus on areas that others long overlooked. As Michael used to tell us, “leadership is hard and the decisions we make today are designed to benefit the institution for years to come.” Michael left the museum in a far better position than he found it. We were saddened when Michael announced that he would not renew his contract in 2019. We were thrilled for him and his family as he announced his plan to start his own business and share his talent with other institutions, both profit and non-profit, where, although the missions may be diﬀerent, the need for forward-thinking vision and the ability to execute is the same. I wish Great Neck much success as it navigates this school board election. Demi Tsialas New York Letters Continued on Page 54

Business&RealEstate

Future inflation can affect home prices

irst off, I want to let everyone know that no matter what you read about doom-and-gloom scenarios, currently there is no bubble in the real estate market. I have conveyed this many times: Our inventory is at an a historically low level. However, the No. 1 reason that prices went up to high single and double-digit percentages in 2020 was the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the lowest mortgage rates in 50-plus years adding to the feeding frenzy of purchasers. Also contributing was the temporary shutdown of our markets and then the insane pent-up demand that exploded in buying homes during the second and third quarters and beyond from those leaving and escaping New York City due to Covid. Our government is in a vicious cycle of printing trillions of dollars to invigorate our economy through the first stimulus checks in 2020 as well as PPP loans and grants through the Small Business Administration. Now the second stimulus package of $1.9 trillion called The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, also called the COVID-19 Stimulus Package, was passed by the Senate last month and President Biden signed it into law. It appears for the short term this will obviously assist many who are either unemployed or whose businesses were greatly affected by the turndown in our economy in 2020 and even in 2021. The millions who were laid off and who are still unemployed (although employment is improving greatly) are getting a second shot in the arm, but will it be enough? Who will be paying it all back, us and our grandchildren and those yet not born? I am torn between agreeing with the stimulus and not agreeing with it for several reasons. The sheer immensity of the additional trillions added to our national debt has escalated more in the last four years of the Trump presidency compared to the eight years of the Obama presidency. But this new increase is pushing us into a new territory of debt, but what other choices do we have? There is the need to create jobs through the infrastructure bill as well as cover other much-needed

expenses. I am not pointing fingers but just stating facts. It is what it is and now we will be adding that much more to what we already owe. What if interest rates were to continue to rise, while our currency becomes diluted, so one would need more dollars to pay for things, thereby decreasing purchasing power, which is called inflation? Do you know what it will do to our national as well as our international debt? It will add trillions upon trillions in higher interest payments, which will create what I would call an unsustainable debt crisis, which I believe we already have. However, landlords will benefit because if and when mortgage rates increase, causing more not to qualify, then more buyers will look to renting as the only option for a longer term, increasing demand and raising prices. Unfortunately, history does repeat itself as we don’t always learn from our past economic misfortunes and mistakes. It appears we have been kicking the ball of debt down the road for many years and not owning up to the reality of what is currently staring us smack in the face. When President Clinton left oﬃce, he left George Bush

$500 million in the bank, and we were a creditor nation. Unfortunately, it was all spent plus another 2-plus trillion on a bunch of unnecessary wars. We had the opportunity to squirrel that money away to do what we are trying to do today, rebuilding our infrastructure, which would have cost much less back then than today. On the positive impact side, moderate inflation causes greater cash flow, but on the negative side it increases the discount rate used to gauge the present value of future cash flows. Higher discount rates cause the market to devalue assets with future cash flows, and the further out they are, the more detrimental the impact. How inflation aﬀects a

specific asset depends on the cash flow and the increase in the discount rate in determining the future returns. Real Estate rentals should do quite well. Growth stocks will not fare as well in an inflationary environment, but value stocks will do better in that type of environment. However, there will always be exceptions to every situation especially with new industries being created, e.g., electric cars, battery storage, wind and solar power, low carbon energy substitutes, new medicines. Unless housing inventory becomes inflated above the normal 6-7 months, which is always a possibility 3-5 years from now, prices shouldn’t crash. Also, the demand and interest rates will be the determining factor in how our market vacillates up or down in the future. But because there are millions entering the market each year, builders have not been able to keep pace with the demand. Some predict a small increase in inflation, while other pundits are suggesting much worse consequences of potential hyper inflation due to all the stimulus monies being printed and handed out. As demand goes down for purchasing with higher inter-

est rates and inflation kicks in, then prices will potentially decrease as construction will also slow due to higher costs. If one spends more than they take in, which will be occurring, what is the eventual result, a workout plan by continuing to print money or worse case scenario bankruptcy? I am praying and hoping that the latter two scenarios — hyper inflation or bankruptcy —are wrong; but the $64,000 question will be how do we pay back all the money that we owe? Philip A.

Strauss honored by Fire Department Continued from Page 1 Strauss’ experiences were even depicted in Hollywood, with “True Detective” star Stephen Dorﬀ playing Strauss in Oliver Stone’s 2006 film “World Trade Center,” depicting him risking his life to save two transit cops buried in the smoldering rubble of the World Trade Center. Strauss climbed the chain of command in the Fire Department, serving as Truck Company 2’s lieutenant before becoming captain in 1992. Strauss’ two children, Bryan and Christopher, followed in their father’s footsteps and continue to serve with him in the same company. Bryan was a captain in the company and currently serves as the department’s second assistant chief, while Christopher was elected this year to serve as the company’s captain. Strauss has also been an integral force in the implementation of various teams and programs to train and enhance the performance of firefighters. He developed the county’s first ride-along program to have Junior firefighters aid the department on response calls. Strauss also developed the county’s first Fire Service Drone Response Team and Mineola’s Firefighter Assist Standby Team, which prioritizes rescuing firefighters who are trapped. Strauss has also served on the Village of Mineola’s Board of Trustees since 2010, and has been mayor since 2011.

Wheatley ranked No. 610 school in nation Continued from Page 2 and brightest in the nation. This wonderful recognition is the result of the collective eﬀorts by our students, parents, teachers, administrators and dedicated

Board of Education. This collaboration is what makes the Herricks School Community such a special place.” Eﬀorts to reach representatives from the other school districts for comment

were unavailing. U.S. News & World Report ranks schools based on students’ performance on state tests, graduation rates, participation in college-level Advanced Place-

ment courses, and passing rates on Advanced Placement tests. The publication reviewed more than 24,000 public high schools across the country that were eligible to be ranked based on their size.

Officials condemn acid attack on Sewanhaka grad Continued from Page 2 are with Nafiah, her family and friends as she focuses on her recovery,” a statement from Hofstra University said. “We are committed to supporting her through that process and will cooperate with any investigation into the matter.” In a Twitter post last Wednesday, Rice called on the New York State Hate Crimes Task Force to help the Nassau County Police Department investigate “the vicious attack” on Ikram that oc-

curred in her district. Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder told ABC News that there is not enough evidence to determine if the attack against Ikram, who is PakistaniAmerican, was a hate crime. Police said the reward for information on the attacker, who remains unidentified, has increased to $20,000. Oﬃcials from the Nassau County Police Department said the male attacker was approximately 6-foot-2 and wore a

black hooded sweatshirt and gloves. He fled in a red 2013-2015 Nissan Altima, according to police. The GoFundMe page (which identified the victim as Nafiah Fatima) was started on April 17, a month after the attack. Within a week, more than 11,000 people had donated, resulting in more than $450,000 being raised to cover medical expenses. “We would like to thank everyone who shared/donated from the bottom

of our hearts. We had no idea we had such an amazing support system,” Shazia Anjum, the fundraiser’s organizer, said on the page last week. “All we continue to ask is that you keep Nafiah in your prayers and share with as many people as possible!!!” Ikram has expressed her gratitude for the support she has received through social media posts that have circulated throughout the Hofstra community and Long Island.

Village of Mineola adopts $24M budget Continued from Page 1 tive side, though, is that because of the village board’s prudent budgeting over the last 10 years, they were able to absorb the shortfalls within their budget much better than many municipalities have been able to – to the point where they have only needed to raise taxes 1.9 percent this year. This is simply a product of prudent budgeting and careful spending. “The budget, while it has that small increase, doesn’t make any cuts in any services; it continues to provide the full range of services that we provide,” Scalero added. The village’s general government category is set to receive $4,968,236, making up the largest portion of the budget and increasing slightly from the previous year. Allocations toward the village’s water fund also increased slightly to $2,916,408. Debt service will receive $1,209,593, an increase of $373,785. The budget also includes decreases in allocations for public safety, which will receive $1,777,956, and health, which will receive $60,000. Other cat-

The Village of Mineola’s 2021-2022 budget features a tax increase of 1.9 percent, staying below the state tax cap. egories within the budget, such as transportation and employee benefits, remained similar to the 2020-21 fiscal year. Scalero said that ongoing infrastruc-

ture projects were another factor in the village board’s formulation of the budget, specifically pointing to state-mandated well upgrades. Following the detection of carcino-

gens like 1,4-dioxane, which has been linked to liver and kidney damage, cancers and possible reproductive eﬀects in those who are exposed long-term, in water systems throughout Long Island in 2019, the New York State Department of Health proposed regulations that would implement strict maximum contaminant levels. The village then took on the upgrade of well 4 to meet the state’s proposed 1,4-dioxane and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) treatment requirements. “We have some major infrastructure projects going on, which have to continue and will continue,” Scalero said. “Most of them are mandated by the state, like all of our well upgrades, which will meet state-mandated requirements this year. As is the case, that puts lots of pressure on our budget, but those projects have to go forward. So, we were able to do it and still absorb those costs… By smart budgeting, we were able to oﬀset the losses in other areas. We were probably already in a better position when COVID hit than many places were.”

Great Neck rally promotes unity on N. Shore Continued from Page 4 “Sometimes I feel like the muscles of advocacy within the Asian community are relatively young, but we’ve learned so much by watching other communities – our allies – fight against hatred, and I want us to remember this solidarity,” she said. Members of the Great Neck community also spoke during the rally, including local students and members of the GNCA. The GNCA’s secretary, Steve Chen, highlighted the contributions of the ChineseAmerican community to the United States, from building the country’s transportation infrastructure in the 19th century to supporting 1.3 million jobs through ChineseAmerican-owned businesses today. “In this time of inflamed resurgence

of racism and bigotry, we must reexamine how diversity has benefited this community and the country as a whole,” Chen said. “There are 45,000 Chinese restaurants in the United States. That’s more than the number of McDonald’s, KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Wendy’s combined,” he said with a chuckle. “One could argue that if the United States had a national cuisine, it could be Chinese food.” The speeches were followed by a march via Middle Neck Road to Village Green Park, where closing performances were slated to begin at 2 p.m. Demonstrators joined in chants of “stop Asian hate,” “united we stand” and “love is the cure” as they walked the 1.5-mile route. Young people made up a large part of the crowd, from members of Great Neck

Cub Scouts Pack 178 to teenagers who led rallying calls over megaphones as they marched. Many parents brought their young children for the march, including Great Neck resident Jue Wang. Wang, who is originally from Wuhan, China, said she brought her 9-year-old son to the rally to show him that while the injustice they face is real, they are not alone in fighting it. “We all watch the news. He sees what’s happening in the world. I know he is just 9 years old, but I think we can start educating him,” Wang said. “The next generation, they were born in the United States. They are part of the United States. We don’t want them to feel alone in this culture.” Upon arriving at Village Green Park,

organizers handed out sheet music with lyrics for “Love Brings Peace,” composed by Temple Israel of Great Neck’s hazzan, Brian Shamash. The crowd sang along as Shamash performed the song on the Veterans’ Memorial Stage. Tyler Chang, a junior at Great Neck North High School, said he thought the rally exemplified the power of feeling visible and showing solidarity. “There are so many people here who also share the same ideals as me, and it’s nice to see that so many people care about this issue right now. Asian people are often glossed over in the media,” Chang said. “In a community like Great Neck, where it’s very secluded and in a bubble, people don’t think that it can aﬀect them, but we need to spread awareness.”

Swastikas sprayed on Port elementary school Continued from Page 11 “I am heartbroken, yet again, that a place where our children learn and play has been vandalized with an antisemitic symbol and one that promotes hatred and intolerance,” Dalimonte said. “Port Washington is a wonderfully diverse, yet tightknit community, that I am extremely proud of. But things like this really hurt my pride. For many people in our community, it also causes real pain and anxiety. I hope that the person or people who did this are caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I have zero tolerance for intolerance.” State Sen. Anna Kaplan (D-Great Neck) said that she was “outraged and

disgusted” by the act in a statement, and oﬀered her oﬃce’s full support in finding the perpetrators. “Hatred and anti-Semitism will never be welcome in our community, and it is incumbent on us all to speak out forcefully and unequivocally against it whenever we encounter it,” Kaplan said. The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center echoed the sentiment in a statement and emphasized a need to educate adults and young people on the Holocaust. “Nazi symbolism and any other indicators of hate have no place on Long Island or anywhere in the world,” the center said in a statement. “Those who are

responsible must be caught and be held accountable.” The incident marks the second time in a year where vandals have spray-painted swastikas on a Port Washington building. Vandals spray-painted a dozen of the Nazi symbols on the inside and outside of the Port Washington Police Athletic League clubhouse in October. “We must speak out and reject all forms of hate at every opportunity,” the organization said on its Instagram story. “We stand with the Port School District. Education is necessary at every age.” “What this incident – this act of hatred and discrimination reminds us –# is that there is still a great deal of work we

need to do to create an accepting and inclusive community and world,” Johnson said. “In our district, we are committed to creating and fostering an inclusive environment where our students are encouraged to treat all people with kindness and respect. We have a zero tolerance policy for hate speech of any kind and place a strong emphasis on our eﬀorts to provide our students with the information they need to understand the values of inclusion and the negative, consequential impacts of hateful language and actions.” Police encourage those with tips to contact Detective Michael Cetta of the Port police at 516-883-0500, extension 0, or tips@pwpd.ny.gov.

FAMILY OWNED & OPERATED

State aid for local businesses Continued from Page 6 “Given the changing nature of our national and global economies, small businesses, and the families they support, are often struggling just to remain viable and competitive,” Strauss said. “In the last decade or so, Mineola has experienced a downtown revitalization through the eﬀorts of our village government working together with our local businesses.” “We’re so happy that New York State has enacted the COVID-19 Pandemic Small Business Recovery Grant

Program to help our local businesses, the true backbones of our communities,” Oral said. “The resources that will be provided will help make our business owners whole and will make the transition to post-COVID operations easier for everyone.” Eric Alexander, director of Vision Long Island and the Long Island Main Street Alliance, said at a recent Blank Slate Media forum that most downtowns in Nassau had lost an average of three stores during the COVID-19 pandemic, but that foot traﬃc had

continued due to a “mass exodus” from New York City at the pandemic’s outset. “Local businesses are working to build back from the impact of coronavirus regulations,” he said. “These grants available from NYS can begin to level the playing field as we work towards a recovery that helps our local communities.” Kaplan said Empire State Development, the state’s business aid agency, is in the process of implementing regulations for the grant program.

The future of downtown districts Continued from Page 14 There are several other obstacles to development success. Bartone noted that developers are looking for communities that are “business friendly.” This includes areas that already permit transit-oriented, mixed-use developments so that developers don’t face long and costly eﬀorts for case-by-case changes – which unfortunately is the rule in the Town of North Hempstead. Towns and villages that make it difficult to build are known through wordof-mouth among developers and are avoided, Bartone said. Dennis Grossman, president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce and the Great Neck Chamber of Commerce, said the Great Neck area had numerous projects in development and that such ideas needed the cooperation of villages and residents. “We also need the cooperation of the mayors and residents in terms

of parking and valet parking, which I battle over all the time in certain areas, because people don’t know where the parking is, even though we prepare maps and other things like that,” Grossman said. The county also needs to address a shortage of marshals to conduct fire inspections. This was cited as a problem during a redevelopment town hall two years ago and yet inexplicably continues to this day, needlessly delaying and adding costs to new businesses. The county could also assist in surveying parking needs in downtown business districts across Nassau County and helping increase the number of parking spots when needed. The proposed developers of the Macy’s location in Manhasset had included underground parking in their redevelopment plans. It’s time local governments began thinking more like owners of shopping centers, which in a sense they are, and

come up with solutions to match the competition. Likewise, the county could assist in developing best practices for metered parking in downtowns and to help finance new meters when needed. The only place in Nassau County where metered parking exists is in downtown business districts. This places them at a disadvantage with online shopping, malls and strip shopping centers whose customers never face the expense of parking meters, parking tickets or unfriendly meter agents. Until someone can figure out how to wean local villages oﬀ the revenue that parking meters and tickets provide, the least that can be done is to minimize the damage to customer relations. We agree with our expert panel that downtown business districts are wellpositioned for a bright future. We should think big and make it happen.

Berkowitz needed on board Continued from Page 17 the other hand, Berkowitz has received notable and important honors from the New York State School Boards Association, New York State, Nassau and North Hempstead, Lions Club and Hispanic American Community for her leadership, trailblazing and humanitarianism.) “Career politician,” is how Glickman demeans Berkowitz’s long dedication to Great Neck’s public schools as if serving in a volunteer position for 30 years is somehow nefarious and the experience inconsequential. Glickman, in contrast, was CEO for a nonprofit museum with a $15 million budget and 100 staﬀ for which he was paid $410,000. During that time he was sued after its former CFO sued him for harassment and discrimination. Glickman describes himself as “a social entrepreneur and nonprofit executive who has led cultural institutions over the past two decades.” For the past couple of years, he has been engaged in two fundraising ventures for nonprofits, JMuse, where he is

CEO, and Goodnation, where he is on the board of advisors (both loaded with ”Coming Soon” instead of actual achievements). He has had scant engagement with Great Neck’s public education beyond having three children in school (one in North Middle and twins in Saddle Rock school) and participation in a handful of meetings on the UPTC budget committee and a short-term Citizens Committee that was formed around the last bond issue. Glickman’s bullying tone and tactic would guarantee to shatter the culture on the board that has kept Great Neck public schools so successful, necessitating bringing together often competing and conflicting constituencies. Our community is so fortunate that Berkowitz continues to give of herself to this volunteer position instead of trading the experience into a paying job. She deserves our gratitude and praise, not vicious insults and baseless attacks in a crass and cynical political campaign. “Career politician”? “Public servant” is more apt.

“I gave up the opportunity to have a paying job for all these years because I believed in what I was and still am doing – what’s in best interest of children,” Berkowitz said in our interview. “That’s my legacy, not to have everything tarnished by one person.” There is no IQ requirement for living in the Great Neck School District, and our community has the same rate of special needs, as well as a higher percentage than would be expected of an “aﬄuent” community of students who qualify for free or reduced lunch, and yet our students excel – no one is left behind or loses out on every opportunity to fulfill their potential. Indeed, both Great Neck’s high schools, South and North, continue to be rated among the 500 best in the nation, out of 18,000, on US News’ annual report. This cannot and should not be taken for granted, but is a function of who we elect to make the critical policy, budgetary and hiring decisions. Voting for the school and library budgets and school board candidates is Tuesday, May 11.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Glickman for Great Sports medicine center, Neck school board NYRA collaborate

a top leadership role in a local community organization, namely the Gold Coast Arts Center, located on Middle Neck Road right over the space where the Squire movie theatre was situated before they closed their doors for good. It’s time for a change on our school board. I believe that Michael will be an asset to our community and our schools just as he has been an asset to the Arts Center for the last 10 years. Great Neck needs to move forward with a revival that includes fresh new ideas and a change from the complacency that inures to those holding leadership positions too long. I urge all our voters to come out and vote on May 11. We need to make our voices for change heard. Vote for Michael Glickman for trustee on the Board of Education of the Great Neck School System.

was deeply saddened by the death of Don Ashkenase. I’ve known Don and his family since the early 1980s before he even thought of running for a seat on the school board. He was a man of sincerity and integrity. He was firmly committed to ensuring that the education of Great Neck children was of the highest quality possible. Now I’ve found another individual who possesses those selfsame qualifications. His name is Michael Glickman. I met Michael in 2019 and was immediately impressed by his avowed concerns regarding the decline in the quality of life in town and equally concerned for the welfare of the schoolchildren in Great Neck. He is passionate about his beliefs, articulate and clear thinking. Michael will bring to the board not only a fresh viewpoint from someone who currently has children attending the Great Neck schools but also someone who has had

A new collaboration with the New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) establishes New York Tech’s Center for Sports Medicine as NYRA’s oﬃcial concussion management team. Accordingly, the Center for Sports Medicine will take a leading role in the continued development of concussion protocols for jockeys at Aqueduct Racetrack, Belmont Park, and Saratoga Race Course. In December 2020, the Center for Sports Medicine launched a concussion baseline testing program for jockeys competing at the 2020-2021 winter meet at Aqueduct. This program is ongoing, with additional baseline testing to be performed during the spring/ summer meet at Belmont and the summer meet at Saratoga. “The Center for Sports Medicine is at the forefront of concussion science, research, and prevention,” said Martin Panza, NYRA senior vice president of rac-

ing operations. “Dr. [Hallie] Zwibel and his team will be a tremendous addition as we work together to finalize comprehensive protocols to further protect jockeys in New York.” In addition to baseline testing, which is central to informing future treatment and concussion assessment, the Center for Sports Medicine will provide expert resources in the diagnosis of potential concussions as well as treatment plans for jockeys seeking a safe return to the racetrack. Further, the Center for Sports Medicine will provide continuing education for jockeys and NYRA personnel to ensure a more thorough understanding of concussion prevention. “NYRA clearly prioritizes the health and safety of the world-class athletes riding at their racetracks,” said Hallie Zwibel, medical director and director of the Center for Sports Medicine. “This collaboration is a re-

flection of that fact and will result in a concussion management plan that can serve as a national blueprint for thoroughbred racing.” The new collaboration underscores the Center for Sports Medicine’s existing eﬀorts to promote increased concussion safety. In recent years, the Center teamed up with several current and former jockeys, including Ramón Dominguez, who was forced to retire in 2013 when he sustained head injuries during a race. “I am very encouraged that NYRA is collaborating with New York Institute of Technology to enhance jockey safety,” said Dominguez. “As awareness for concussion safety has risen, so has the level of protection for these amazing athletes, and this collaboration continues those important eﬀorts.” As a result of their work with current and former jockeys, the Center for Sports Medicine assisted The Jockeys Guild in the development of “return to ride” guidelines, which provide instruction on when injured jockeys can safely return to racing. Zwibel also serves as a medical consultant on a research project led by NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine assistant professor Milan Toma, which uses fluid dynamics to evaluate the safety of jockey helmets.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Clark Family garden applications open The Town of North Hempstead has announced that applications for the Clark Family Community Gardens are now open for the 2021 season. All members must be residents of North Hempstead and garden beds will be assigned to applicants. “The Community Garden at Clark provides a wonderful hands-

on experience for anyone looking to embark on a new gardening adventure this summer,” said North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “Gardening is known to help improve your physical and mental well-being. Consider spending time outdoors at Clark and cultivating a green space into a beautiful garden for fresh fruits, vegetables, and

herbs.” Each of the 20 garden beds measure 4’x 12’ in size and are assigned on an annual basis. A garden bed will cost $100 to rent for the season. Those participating in the community garden program are asked not to plant trees or perennials and limit plantings to vegetables, fruits, herbs, and

flowers. There is an emphasis on organic gardening using integrated pest management (IPM) practices and pesticides (including herbicides and fungicides) are not allowed. Garden beds must be actively cultivated by June 5 and at this time, rights to the bed may be lost to and reassigned. Those interested in applying

for a 2021 bed can visit: www. northhempsteadny.gov/parks to access the application and for additional guidelines. Social distancing rules will apply, and masks must be worn at the garden at all times. Each bed will be assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please call 311 or 516-869-6311 for more information.

Purchasing preference for service-disabled vets Town of North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth and the Town Board unanimously approved the adoption of a local law which establishes a preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOB) during the procurement process. The item was approved at the Town Board

meeting on April 22, 2021. “We deeply and sincerely value all of our veterans in North Hempstead, and we are constantly looking to find new ways to acknowledge and appreciate the countless sacrifices they have made to keep us safe,” said Bosworth. “It is our hope that this purchasing prefer-

ence will provide greater support to service-disabled veteran business owners by increasing the participation levels in Town contract awards. We strongly encourage all qualifying businesses to register with New York State to ensure they are eligible.” With this amended procure-

ment policy, the Town will be authorized to award certain contracts (which are not subject to General Municipal Law §103) for goods and services to a responder other than the lowest responsible bidder where such responder is a SDVOB that is registered with New York State and is within 5 percent

of the lowest quote, as well as to a SDVOB that also qualifies for the Town’s local preference and is within 10 percent of the lowest quote. Additionally, if a SDVOB provides a response to a Request for Proposal, they will get extra points added to their evaluation score.

Town establishes Asian-American committee The Town of North Hempstead has announced the formation of an Asian-American Advisory Committee in response to the rise in hate crimes against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in New York and around the country. “During the past year, there has been a horrific surge in hate

crimes against Asian Americans around the country,” said North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “Hatred and bigotry have no place in the Town of North Hempstead, and that is why we joined the Not in our Town initiative several years ago. Building on the success of that program, we

are establishing an Asian American Advisory Committee to help increase the dialogue with our Asian American community and to further promote kindness and compassion.” “North Hempstead takes a stand against bias and hate crimes, including those targeting

our Asian American residents. Many incidences can go unreported. We need to unite to prevent and put an end to the violence and bias,” said Council Member Veronica Lurvey. The town installed Not In Our Town signs throughout the town showing unity and support

for those in the Asian American community. The signs feature the same message that we can stop hate together in various languages. It also encourages individuals to call 911 or your local police precinct to report a hate crime. For more information, please call 311 or 516-869-6311.

Town hosts virtual Erin Lipinksy honored for Earth Day event Polar Plunge fundraising The Town of North Hempstead is hosting a special edition of NHTV at Home celebrating Earth Day. The virtual program will premiere on North Hempstead TV and the Town’s social media pages. “Earth Day is a globally celebrated event that is recognized by over 192 countries. We are excited to join this environmental movement with a virtual Earth Day celebration of our own,” said North Hempstead Supervisor Judi Bosworth. “We hope that our program will teach our young residents about the importance of recycling, protecting our environment, and conserving our resources.” The program will feature

the reading of the book Michael Recycle by Ellie Bethel by Bosworth and town oﬃcials along with an art segment led by a local artist, teaching you how to use items from nature and turn them into art. The episode will premiere at 4 p.m. on Earth Day, Thursday, April 22, 2021. Tune in on channel 18 or 63 on Cablevision or channel 46 on Verizon. Episodes can also be viewed anytime at: www. youtube.com/TownOfNorthHempstead. For a complete schedule for upcoming programs visit: www.mynhtv.com/schedule.

The Town of North Hempstead recently honored Erin Lipinsky for his outstanding contributions to Special Olympics New York. Lipinsky raised over $16,000 for the 2021 Virtual Polar Plunge event. Lipinsky has consistently been a top fundraiser for the North Hempstead Polar Plunge which raises money to support Special Olympics New York’s programs and brings awareness to those living with intellectual disabilities in New York.
