Report: little harm to environment

BY J OE N I K I C The Long Island Rail Road’s proposal to construct a 9.8-mile third track between Floral Park and Hicksville will take three to four years to complete at a cost of about $2 billion, according to a draft environmental impact report released Monday.

The environmental report for the LIRR’s Main Line expansion states that the project would have a “minimal” adverse impact and addresses quality of life concerns for those in the surrounding communities.

“Expanding the Main Line is crucial to the future of Long Island and its residents,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement. “By increasing capacity on one of the LIRR’s busiest corridors and eliminating all street-level grade crossings, this project will result in less traffic, less congestion and a transportation network that meets the needs of current and future generations of Long Islanders.”

The project, which Cuomo pro-

Those lawmakers have discretion over who receives hundreds of millions of dollars in grants each year through three programs: the State and Municipal Facilities Program, the Community Projects Fund and supplemental grants to school districts and libraries known as “bullet aid,” according to state legislators, their aides and publicly available documents.

More than $1.5 billion has been appropriated for the State

and Municipal Facilities Program alone since its inception.

North Shore municipalities and nonprofit groups have been designated to receive at least 109 grants worth nearly $6.9 million since 2014, according to lists published by the Senate and Assembly.

Ranging in size from $5,000 to $350,000, they are meant to pay for projects from after-school programs to road repairs and major construction work at public Continued on Page 74

Herricks voters set to decide on capital plan

Building project to wrap up in new year

District seeks to spend $29.5M on improvements Construction continues on extensions

BY N O A H M A N S K A R

BY N O A H M A N S K A R

Herricks school district voters will decide Tuesday whether to spend $29.5 million on upgrades to the district’s seven buildings, including some major renovations at Herricks High School.

Two propositions will be on the ballot Dec. 6 that would allocate the first $28.3 million in spending: one to authorize $25 million in borrowing and another to let the district spend $3.3 million from a capital reserve fund.

Residents will vote again at a later date to spend the other $1.2 million in reserves, which the district has not yet saved.

If approved, the district will take up “transformational” projects that many residents say are long overdue, said Fino Celano, the Herricks school superintendent.

“Herricks is an outstanding school district academically, and what this bond will do is it will bring our facilities to match the outstanding reputation that we have as a school district,” Celano said.

The projects in the bond vote reflect the highest priorities on that longer list, district officials say.

A committee created the package in June and presented it to residents at three meetings in September, where it met praise from students and parents.

About 60 percent of the work is “health and safety” fixes, including new asphalt, sidewalks, doors and locks, handicap accessibility renovations and ventilation improvements.

The 68-year-old Herricks High School would get about 50 percent of the work, including major renovations to the cafeteria, athletic field, track and one science lab. A new fitness center would also be built near the

Work continues on the third phase of a major building projects initiative at the Sewanhaka school district’s five high schools, but the projects will not be finished until after the start of the new year, the district superintendent said Tuesday.

“I for one am very much looking forward to finishing construction,” Superintendent Ralph Ferrie said at the Nov. 22 Sewanhaka school board meeting.

Work started this summer on the final stage of Sewanhaka’s $86.6 million capital improvements package, funded by a bond voters approved in 2014.

Construction is continuing on extensions to Floral Park Memorial High School and Sewanhaka High School; renovations to the auditoriums at New Hyde Park Memorial High School and H. Frank Carey High School in Franklin Square; and a new gymnasium at Elmont Memorial High School, Ferrie said.

Students currently cannot use the auditoriums at New Hyde Park and H. Frank Carey, but the district expects them to be ready

by Feb. 1, Ferrie said.

Herricks school district Superintendent Fino Celano discusses a $29.5 million capital projects plan at Herricks High School in September. school’s front entrance.

Some work, including construction of the new athletic field, could start as early as the summer of 2017, district officials have said.

All projects are expected to be complete by 2023.

The district says timing will be an important part of the building process, partly due to a backlog in the state Education Department’s plan review office, which must approve plans for school projects.

Other “moving parts” include the bidding process for contractors and the speed of actual construction, Celano said.

The district plans to hire a construction manager to make sure the work stays on schedule.

The $25 million bond would not raise property taxes because it will replace existing debt from a $24 million bond set to expire in 2021, Celano said.

The district decided to borrow that money in 2000 to add classrooms at its three elementary schools, the last time a package of projects of this magnitude

was undertaken, Celano said.

Taxes would decrease “minimally” if the district did not take on new debt, Celano said, but “people recognize the fact that the work needs to be done, and therefore it’s not a concern.”

Other North Shore school districts have approved large packages of building projects in recent years.

The Sewanhaka school district is finishing the third phase of an $86.6 million initiative across its five high schools.

The Roslyn school district finished the first phase of a $24.5 million package this summer.

Several pieces of a $7 million package were completed at Mineola schools over the summer.

Celano said he does not expect any more major projects in the next several years, but there will be work to be done at the district’s aging buildings.

“It’s a constant thing,” he said. “It’s like when you own a home there are always new proj-

the winter, Ferrie said.

Construction is causing some parking problems at Elmont, Floral Park and Sewanhaka, but the district is “making every effort to minimize disruptions and any additional inconveniences that may evolve in the future,” its website says.

“I’d certainly like to commend our staff and our students for the manner in which they’re handling construction,” Ferrie said. “It’s certainly a credit to them.”

The district’s energy performance contracts to install energy-saving infrastructure have been approved and “set in motion,” Ferrie said.

They include the installation of solar panels on the roofs of all five buildings, which will generate about 35 percent of the district’s electricity, according to information on the district’s website. The panels will be installed over the winter, weather permitting, Ferrie said.

The district also plans to start installing energy-efficient lights in the schools within the next two weeks, Ferrie said, and ventilation work will start in the spring.

Voters to pick 1 of 7 for G.N. school board

BY J OE N I K I C Voters will go to the polls Tuesday to decide which of seven candidates will replace former Trustee Monique Bloom on the Great Neck Board of Education.

Nine candidates initially stepped forward to run for the chance to serve the remainder of Bloom’s term until 2019, but two, Mariana Ristea and Michael Darvish, withdrew their candidacies on Nov. 10 and Nov. 29, respectively.

The seven candidates for the seat include Donald Panetta, Josh Ratner, Nikolas Kron, Nicholas Toumbekis, Lori Beth Schwartz, Donna Peirez and Grant Toch. Bloom resigned in September because of her corporate travel commitments.

School district officials said since Darvish withdrew after the Nov. 28 deadline to file nominating petitions, the district did not need to further extend the deadline.

His name will still be on the ballot, however, as ballots have already gone to print.

Panetta, a 30-year New Hyde Park resident, said he is running because he loves being involved in the community and saw an opportunity with the open seat.

He said that although he does not have education experience, his wife and son are both teachers in New York City and he often speaks with them about the problems they are facing as teachers and problems with the education system.

“I can bring fresh ideas. As a total outsider, if somebody were to say ‘hey, let’s do something,’ my first impulse is ‘let’s look into it,’” he said.

“Whereas someone who may have more time on the board, their first impression might be ‘no, we can’t.’”

Panetta is a member of the Lakeville Civic Association, an assistant Scoutmaster in Troop 10

He is also a member of the Great Neck Memorial Day Parade committee, and an Eagle Scout adviser in the Shelter Rock District Boy Scouts of America.

Ratner is a lifelong Great Neck resident who attended Saddle Rock Elementary School, Great Neck South Middle School and Great Neck South High School.

He graduated from the University of Maryland at College Park with a degree in government

Donald Panetta and politics. He also minored in leadership studies.

As well as serving in the college’s student government and its executive committee, Ratner said, he served as a student representative to the College Park City Council.

He said the board would benefit from having a member who is “recently connected” to the issues facing students.

“Although I’m young, you have to remember I’m one part of the collective board,” said Ratner, who is 23 years old. “There is 102 years of experience that I will work with and will make sure we do the best for our community moving forward.

“However, I’m the voice that this commu-

nity needs to bring to that board to round it out and make sure our students’ perspectives and their futures and the needs of their futures are discussed,” Ratner added.

Toch moved to Great Neck with his wife in 2006. They have three daughters who attend schools in the district in first, third and seventh grade.

He said that it “doesn’t matter” how many candidates are vying for the seat, as he is a “unique” candidate because of his work in the community and in the school district.

Toch said that as well as serving as a parent coordinator for Great Neck travel soccer teams, on which all three of his daughters play, he has

Toch said he became a member of the UPTC executive board in 2012, first serving as a treasurer and now serving as a recording secretary.

He said that his experiences for 14 years as an analyst at various hedge funds, and the fact he specializes in the financial services sector and in government bonds, are relevant to the district’s endeavors.

Orthodontist and candy: a new purpose

BY J OE N I K I C

Dr. David Sherman with boxes of donated candy tiative, Sherman said about two-thirds of it came from residents in the surrounding community.

He said Operation Gratitude listed the locations of his offices on its website for those looking for a place to drop off excess candy, which boosted donations.

One local school brought in 170 pounds of candy, Sherman said, while a Girl Scout troop from Floral Park brought 175 pounds of candy.

“We were not expecting that sort of response,” he said.

Another reason the initiative was so successful was a segment on “Jimmy Kim-

Protect your world Auto • Home • Life • Retirement

mel Live!” showing the reactions of children after their parents told them they had given away the rest of their candy, Sherman said. The segment promoted Operation Gratitude.

He said that because of the high cost of shipping all of the candy to Operation Gratitude in California, he decided to also donate to the Ronald McDonald Houses in New Hyde Park and Manhattan. Onethird of the donations went to Operation Gratitude, one-third went to one Ronald McDonald House and the rest went to the other.

Dr. David Sherman, a Great Neck orthodontist, said his two sons have an abundance of leftover candy every year after their Halloween escapades and he wanted to find an option other than throwing it away.

“They sort it, they eat some the first night, some the second night, then they forget about it,” Sherman said. “That got me thinking of if there was a better way of disposing all of this candy.”

After a quick Google search, he said, he found Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit group that sends care packages to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines deployed overseas, to their children left behind, and to new recruits, veterans, first responders, wounded veterans and their caregivers.

Sherman, a 1996 graduate of Great Neck North High School, said he thought it would be a good idea to collect candy from patients at his offices to donate to Operation Gratitude. He works half of the week at the practice of his father, Peter Sherman, in Great Neck and the other half of the week at his own office in Manhattan.

He said 1,100 pounds of candy were collected, enough to fill 35 large shipping boxes.

Although his patients brought in a large amount of leftover candy for the ini-

are a “win-win” because from a professional standpoint, it takes some of the candy “out of kids’ mouths,” and it gives it to those who didn’t have the same opportunity to collect candy.

Although in moderation candy can be fine, “the excesses that these kids go to in collection of candy can sometimes be overwhelming,” he said. “I think for us it’s nice to be able to parlay that into an opportunity to give these types of candies or treats to people who ordinarily wouldn’t be able to trick-or-treat.”

Sherman said the positive response from people of all ages and backgrounds and the abundance of donations showed that people can come together and join to support charitable efforts despite factors that draw people away from each other.

“Especially in these, what seem to be, very divisive times, it’s nice to see that people, no matter where they come from, patients and nonpatients, that they’re willing to put all that stuff aside and support a worthy cause,” he said. “If we can facilitate those types of stories and relationships, then certainly we feel good about that.”

Given the high number of donations, Sherman said he would consider doing the initiative again next year.

“Some days felt like more of a candy store than a dental office, but at end of the day when you look back at it, it’s something we were thrilled about doing and thrilled with the response,” he said.

NIFA rejects Nassau County budget Oversight board instructs Legislature to fill $36 million budget gap, response due Monday

BY ST E P H E N ROMANO The Nassau County Interim Finance Authority rejected the county’s proposed $2.9 billion budget for 2017 on Tuesday night and instructed the county Legislature to fill a budget gap of $36 million, which developed when legislators reduced a proposed $105 traffic ticket fee.

NIFA, the county’s financial control board, voted unanimously to reject the unbalanced budget, which was approved by the Legislature on Oct. 31.

Lawmakers have until Monday to amend the budget.

“We all agree the county’s fiscal situation is severe and needs to be addressed,” Adam Barsky, the NIFA chairman, said.

The $105 traffic ticket surcharge was proposed by Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, and was to be applied to all parking and traffic violations.

The fee was proposed to raise $66 million to fund the hiring of 150 police officers and 81 civilian

Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative building police employees, but the Legislature voted earlier this month to cut the fee to $55 for traffic tickets and eliminate it for parking violations.

The fee reduction caused the $36 million budget gap.

Republican legislators proposed filling the hole with a partial amnesty program, which would require businesses that have violated a 2013 county law

requiring them to report income and expenses to pay 75 percent of their fines. However, the proposal was rejected by NIFA, because the law is currently being challenged in court.

“The amnesty program is subject to legal challenge and we don’t believe that those legal challenges will be fully resolved in time for the county to realize any revenues from that program,”

LOOK YOUNGER THIS HOLIDAY SEASON!

Barsky said.

This is the second consecutive year that NIFA has rejected the county’s budget.

A resolution voted on by NIFA indicated that the adjusted budget must include $75 million in tax refund payments already approved and action to fill the $36 million gap.

Howard Weitzman was the only NIFA member to vote against the resolution, which passed 5-1, saying “more cuts are necessary to plug the gaps in the budget and meet the NIFA mandated budget goals.”

Chris Wright, who was not present, issued a statement agreeing, backed Weitzman and said $80 million in spending should be cut.

One NIFA member, Paul Annunziato, disagreed with other members of the board, saying the county’s financial situation isn’t as serious as others said.

“I strongly disagree on many of the assertions that are being made,” Annunziato said. “It is important to note the progress the

county has made,” referring to the county’s progress in reducing the budget risk.

On Monday, the Legislature will vote on a plan to raise $15 million by increasing a fee to verify tax maps on real estate transactions.

That fee was raised $150 in the 2016 budget, according to the budget.

The rejection of the budget comes amid a not-guilty plea by Mangano on federal corruption charges.

On Tuesday, Republican legislators filed a bill to increase the tax map verification fee to $355 to raise $15 million, and they could resolve the remaining $21 million gap by cutting funding for youth programs and bus services, county officials said.

Nassau County Comptroller George Maragos issued a news release on Tuesday saying his office projects a deficit of $121.1 million “on a Generally Accepted Accounting Principles basis, down from a $134.1 million deficit before the amendments.”

Phillips slams MTA for proposed fare hikes State Sen.-elect calls for Governor Cuomo to add funding to state budget to avert plan

BY J OE N I K I C State Sen.-elect Elaine Phillips called on Gov. Andrew Cuomo last week to add funding to next year’s state budget to avert proposed plans by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to increase Long Island Rail Road fares.

On Nov. 16, the MTA announced proposals to increase fares for both public transportation and tolls, which includes a $15 maximum increase for monthly LIRR tickets and a $6.75 maximum increase for weekly tickets.

“We depend on the MTA to provide commuters a safe, convenient and affordable way to get to and from work but, sadly, it’s failing as delays mount due to overdue maintenance and fares increase to the point where riding the train is becoming unaffordable,” Phillips said.

She said that residents in the 7th Senate District, which she was elected to represent

last month, pay as much as $3,444 per year to commute by train into the city.

Phillips added that it does not include the additional cost of using subways and buses for LIRR riders to arrive at their final destination. The MTA is also proposing an increase of MetroCard fares to $3 from $2.75 for a single ride.

MTA officials said that the proposed increases are the lowest since 2009.

“The MTA continues to keep its promise to make sure that fare and toll increases, while necessary to keep our system running, remain as low and possible and that they are done in as equitable a way as possible,” MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast said in a statement. “Fare and toll revenue cover just 51 percent of the operating budget, which is why this modest increase is needed to ensure that subway, rail, bus and paratransit services continue to operate safely and reliably and to fuel

State Sen.-elect Elaine Phillips the region’s economic and financial growth.”

Charts outlining the proposed prices for LIRR tickets by station are available at www. mta.info.

Citing a study conducted by state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, Phillips said recent fare increases have equaled three times the amount of inflation.

She was also critical of the LIRR’s 9.8-mile proposal to add

a third track from Floral Park to Hicksville, saying it should focus on making traveling more affordable for riders rather than expensive projects.

“Instead of raising fares and promoting expensive mega projects that will cost billions of taxpayer and railroad customers’ money, like the ‘third track,’ the state needs to step up and provide funding to treat Long Island commuters more fairly, support the railroad’s core mission, promote safety and ensure affordability,” Phillips said. “Right now, the MTA is making plans to spend billions of dollars to install new tracks, but without first taking steps to improve safety and keep fares down.”

“It’s time for the MTA to get its priorities straight and ensure that commuters are getting the service they pay for without asking them to dig even deeper,” she added.

The MTA will hold eight public hearings throughout MTA’s service territory to get

comment from members of the public on the proposed fare hikes.

For residents on Long Island, the public hearing will take place at the Hilton Long Island/Huntington, located at 598 Broad Hollow Road in Melville, at 5 p.m. The registration period to speak at the meeting or to have comment placed into the official record is from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.

Members of the public can register in advance to speak at a meeting by calling 646-2526777 between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Additionally, those interested can submit comments via email by going to www.mta.info or by mailing a letter to MTA Government Affairs, 20th Floor, 2 Broadway, New York, NY 10004.

Doc returns to beginnings

BY J OE N I K I C For Dr. Robert Baker, it all started with a sock puppet he made when he was 8 years old.

After a more than 30-year career as a gastroenterologist practicing in Great Neck, Baker will step away from medicine at the end of the year and focus on performing ventriloquism.

“I did not want to be 75 years old and say ‘gee, I wonder if I could have done this,” he said. “The performer has always been very much a part of me.”

“It’s now time to take something that’s been on the back burner for 30 plus years and move it to the front burner,” Baker added.

Although he will no longer practice medicine, he said he will give talks to doctors about how to improve the patient experience.

Baker said his interest in ventriloquism was sparked when he was 8 years old, “driving my mother crazy,” when she sat him down in front of a television program featuring ventriloquist Terry Bennett.

He was immediately infatuated, he said, ran to an encyclopedia, looked up ventriloquism and made his first sock puppet.

Baker said that after twisting his parents’ arms, they bought him a Darren O’Day ventriloquist doll, which was made famous by ventriloquist Jimmy Nelson, who is known best for starring in commercials for Nestlé chocolate.

When he was 17, he said he had a professional ventriloquist figure personally made for him.

“That character is still with me and I open every show with him,” Baker said.

During high school, he started doing magic tricks and began performing at children’s birthday parties to work on his craft and make some money.

Baker, who is a Manhasset resident, said that when he went to college, he was faced with the challenge of appealing to an adult audience.

He said he found that college audiences appreciated magic, just in a different way than children.

“I was doing the same tricks for them as for the kids, but I changed the routine,” Baker said. “The basic magic was still the same.”

He said he was able to pay a “significant part” of his medical school fees by performing stage hypnosis and mindreading acts at Catskill resorts.

“Those were really rewarding. It’s just a huge amount of fun,” Baker said. “Hypnosis shows are fun because they rely on the audience members. People like seeing their friends doing funny things.”

He said when he went into practice in 1982, he put magic on hold and limited performing to holiday office parties, in private with friends and the occasional charity event.

“When I went into practice, a magician friend of mine, who was a prominent New York attorney, told me I couldn’t perform professionally anymore,” Baker said. “He said ‘what are people going to say? You’re a doctor in the community going to show up doing magic?’”

Dr. Robert Baker In 2008, he found his way back into performing magic and ventriloquism on stage.

Baker said he a took a course in stand-up comedy at Governor’s Comedy Club and was later invited by the executive director of Carolines on Broadway to perform ventriloquism at the venue.

He said he started doing his own shows at restaurants in Great Neck and Manhasset before the businesses eventually closed.

Baker said he has been performing at various venues, but one favorite is local firehouses.

“Firehouse audiences are great because they’re there for two purposes: to drink and to laugh,” he said. “They’re so much fun.”

Baker said there were “few feelings” that can describe what it is like for him to perform and receive a positive reaction from an audience.

“The character I’m working with delivers a line, then there’s this pause of a few milliseconds and you can almost see it going through people’s heads as they’re processing the joke, then you’re hit what can only be described as a wall of laughter,” he said. “You can feel it hit you right in the chest. It’s an amazing feeling.”

Over the years, Baker said, patients have asked him where they can see him perform, so he will perform on Dec. 9 at 8 p.m. at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington “as a way of saying goodbye.”

“It gives me a chance to thank all of my patients, including people who have been with me for 34 years,” he said.

Tickets cost $35 and all proceeds from the show will be donated toward colon cancer research at the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. They can be purchased at the door or at moonlightingdoc.show. Those interested must be at least 18 years old to attend.

“Do you know how much cooler that is? I get to have fun, make people laugh and do some good at the same time,” Baker said.

He said he was ambivalent about leaving medicine but was excited to move on to the next chapter of his life.

“Being a doctor is not just what I do, it’s who I am. It has occupied almost all of my adult life,” Baker said. “I’m going to miss my patients. I feel like I’m leaving my friends.”

Grant Toch for G.N. school board

M

y name is Grant Toch and I am running to succeed Monique Bloom as a trustee for the Great Neck School District Board of Education.

As a trustee, I promise to advocate tirelessly to maximize the resources provided to our school district’s students and teachers while promoting financial stability and transparency.

This promise I make is supported by an eight year record of working on your behalf with the Board of Education and teachers to solve some of the most pressing financial issues facing the school district.

The special election for the board of education trustee provides me an opportunity to ask for your vote so I may continue to advocate on your behalf in a more far reaching and influential role.

By way of background, my wife, Nicole, and our three daughters have lived in Great Neck for almost 11 years.

Our daughters, ages six, eight, and 12 all attend the Great Neck Pubic Schools.

My daughters’ public school background and that of my own allow me to appreciate the critical role it plays within our community, the value it provides currently to our students and the need to continuously enhance its offerings and stature.

My community involvement involves both our school district and youth sports.

I have been a substantial contributor to the United Parent-Teacher Council for eight years, first as a Member, 2009 to 2012, and then as chairman of its budget committee from 2012 to present.

In addition, I have been on the UPTC Executive Board, both as treasurer and recording secretary, for the last four years.

I have also recently been appointed to the BoE’s newly created Financial Advisory Committee.

As both member and chairman of the UPTC budget committee, I have represented your voice advocating on behalf of the school district’s students and parents so that maximum resources are brought to bear, enabling every child to have an opportunity to achieve their maximum potential, while safeguarding the financial stability of the district and its employees.

My impact can be seen today as the bond offering currently proposed originated with the budget committee back in 2009.

This has not been an easy task, particularly against the backdrop of the property tax cap legislation.

Starting from 2009 and using our proprietary financial model, we demonstrated to the district that the budget

trajectory was unsustainable long term, short of large tax or other revenues increases, or significant increases in class size, and this was before taking into account the significant underinvestment made by the district in its own physical plant.

We recommended the district undergo a comprehensive strategic review performed by an independent third party in preparation for a bond offering, the proceeds of which were to be invested in a manner consistent with the strategic review, allowing Great Neck to build the school district of the future, while simultaneously funding the bond without a tax increase and placing the School District budget on a sustainable long term trajectory.

As the bond offering is coming closer to reality, albeit absent the comprehensive strategic review, I have spent considerable time educating parents and teachers about the bond offering and its impact on our district.

In addition to assessing the bond offering proposed by the board of education and its potential impact on taxpayers, the district and its taxpayers face other financial issues which must be balanced against the need for it to preserve and enhance substantive offerings and protect employees.

I have spent considerable time work-

ing with the board of education and administrators addressing issues such as: 1. the ongoing annual structural deficit position the School District annually must close prior to the completion of its budgeting process; 2. the low inflation environment that results in the largest expenditures growing at rates in excess of the budget itself; 3. the increasing likelihood that uncontrollable expenditures will increase significantly placing substantial pressure on our budget and our taxpayers; 4. additional capital expenditures required but likely unaddressed by the proposed bond offering.

I ask for your vote to become a trustee on the school board because I am the only candidate with a demonstrated record of working with the district’s board of education, teachers, parents and students to find solutions to these pressing challenges while promoting financial stability, preserving and enhancing district substantive offerings and protecting employees.

With young children in the school district, I am committed to this community and these causes for a long time to come.

Peirez right for school board Peirez a ‘pillar of

M

y name is Charlotte and my daughter was fortunate enough to be part of the last first-grade class that Mrs. Peirez taught at Lakeville Elementary.

My first impression of Mrs. Peirez was that she is like a grandmother — warm, wise, and knows just what to do with a child — and I was right.

Her experiences throughout the years gave her an ability to know just how to help a child in the classroom and help them grow both academically and as a whole person.

Being a first-time parent in the school district, or in the American elementary school system for that matter, means I am not sure of what is to happen in the classroom.

After meeting and speaking with Mrs. Peirez my husband and I were immediately put at ease

knowing that our daughter was in good hands, and that we had a teacher that will find the best way to help her grow.

I think she will be an excellent choice for the Board of Education.

In my humble opinion, having someone who has been in the classroom for 29 years gives her an unique vantage point to understand how things really are in the classroom.

Our children need someone at the Board of Education that have experience with the day-in and day-out of the school administration and firsthand experience with educating our children to make the best possible decisions for our kids.

Donna understands what is needed to provide the most effective education possible and where the possible waste and inefficiencies lie.

And, as she has proven time and time again, Donna knows how to bring contentious parties together so that we can all work together for the only constituency that matters to her: the children.

It is not often that the community is presented with a candidate for the Board of Education with the experience, credentials and dedication of Donna Peirez and we urge you to vote for her on Dec. 6.

0’Brien is the clear choice for commish

T

here is a clear choice for Manhasset-Lakeville water/ďŹ re commissioner on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

Donald O’Brien has served as a commissioner for six years and has done what he committed to in his original campaign.

He has brought his career background in ďŹ nance to the board, serving as its treasurer for four years and its chairman for two years.

During his two terms, he has implemented major changes in budgeting that have resulted in ďŹ nancing capital expenditures through the annual budgets.

There has been no new water district bond ďŹ nancing during the past six years and existing bond debt has been paid down by $10.6 million or 50 percent.

All budgets have been under the tax cap.

O’Brien has established a close working relationship with the ďŹ re chiefs.

He has a working knowledge of the issues related to ďŹ re protection, rescue, and the ambulance unit.

He reďŹ nanced the ďŹ re district bonds to reduce interest expense.

The ďŹ re department will be debt-free in 2017.

His contract negotiating skills for district contracts and his private sector management expertise, which includes working closely with attorneys on legal issues and accountants and auditors on the ďŹ nancial statements, are major assets for the districts.

His private sector real estate property management experience has been beneďŹ cial in matters relating to the operation and maintenance of the properties owned and operated by the water and ďŹ re districts.

We need to elect O’Brien for another term so he can continue to deliver for the residents of the district.

Let’s get out and vote to re-elect Commissioner Donald O’Brien on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at the Bayview Avenue Firehouse.

Editorial Cartoon

Responding to hate speech

T

he swastika drawn on the wall in a boys bathroom at Paul D. Schreiber High School in Port Washington two weeks ago appeared to be written in pencil and covered less than a third of a tile.

After the swastika was reported by a student, the school immediately closed the bathroom and cleaned the wall.

Kathleen Mooney, the Port Washington school district superintendent, then responded forcefully, saying, “This type of behavior is completely unacceptable, does not represent who we are as a school district or a community, and will not be tolerated.”

Mooney also praised the student who reported the incident and announced an investigation to determine who drew the swastika In short, the school district’s was proactive and forceful.

But though the drawing of swastika may be as the school district called it — an “isolated incident” — more needs to be done.

Especially at a time when hate speech and symbols of hate have become far too common and far too accepted. And especially in response to a symbol under which six million Jews died and a world war was fought that claimed the lives of 60 million people, including 400,000 American service members.

Just a day after the swastika was found in Port Washington, the National Policy Institute — a think tank that is part of the

so-called “alt-right” movement, which includes neo-Nazis, white supremacists and antiSemites — held a gathering at the federally owned Ronald Reagan Building in Washington, D.C. A video of the meeting, which came in the wake of Donald Trump’s surprising election victory, showed the leader of the institute shouting “Hail Trump, hail our people, hail victory!” as some of the people in attendance gave the Nazi salute. This did not take place in a vacuum.

Incidents of hate speech directed at Mexicans, Muslims, blacks and Jews rose dramatically after Trump’s election.

All of which should come as no surprise.

During his campaign, Trump called undocumented Mexican immigrants “rapists,” said a judge should be disqualified from hearing a case about Trump University because of his Mexican descent, proposed to ban all Muslims from entering the country, mocked a disabled reporter, singled out violence in black communities, criticized women on the basis of their looks and ran advertising linking Jews to global financiers hostile to America.

And after he was elected, Trump appointed Steve Bannon, the former head of a website linked to the “alt-right,” as his chief White House strategist. The website’s headlines have included “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy” and "Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew.”

Trump and his campaign have maintained he was merely advocating an “America First” policy that sought to secure the country’s borders and protect the country against violent extremists, that he had no antipathy to any particular group and he wouldn’t be constrained by “political correctness." The reaction of extremist groups to Trump’s statements seems to say otherwise.

The Trump transition team initially issued a tepid response to the National Policy Institute meeting — at a time Trump was on Twitter blasting the cast of “Hamilton” for its call to Vice President-elect Mike Pence to respect the country’s diversity and “uphold our American values and to work on behalf of all

of us.”

"President-elect Trump has continued to denounce racism of any kind and he was elected because he will be the leader for every American,” Trump-Pence transition spokesman Bryan Lanza said in a statement.

Trump issued a stronger condemnation a few days later at an interview at The New York Times.

“I disavow and condemn them,” Trump said.

After a campaign hailed by white nationalists with little or no discouragement by Trump, his disavowal is a good starting point if he wants to be the leader for every American. We hope he goes further, but to say we have our doubts is more than an understatement.

OFFICE MANAGER Holly Blank REPORTERS Joe Nikic, Noah Manskar, Stephen Romano, Max Zahn

Even if he is sincere, it will take more than Trump alone to undo the divisiveness of the campaign.

The Holocaust Memorial Museum’s response to the meeting of the National Policy Institute instructs us both in how unspeakable acts begin and how to prevent them from happening again.

“The Holocaust did not begin with killings: it began with words,” the museum said. “The museum calls on all American citizens, our religious and civic leaders and the leadership of all branches of the government to confront racist thinking and divisive hateful speech.”

We hope this is a lesson learned well beyond a high school in Port Washington.

OUT OF LEFT FIELD

Women interrupted, but not for long

M

embers of the Electoral College meet in their respective states on Dec. 19.

Despite three different approaches to block Donald Trump, it is not likely that Hillary Clinton will take the Presidential Oath on Jan. 20.

Still, her campaign — flawed as it was, and grossly distorted by the rise of “fake news” — represents another step forward in the advancement of female leaders for the United States.

Clinton received 2 million more popular votes than Trump — the most ever by a “losing” candidate. Al Gore won the popular vote in 2000 by more than 600,000.

Our national citizens have signaled they are now ready for a woman chief executive and commander-in-chief — it would behoove Mr. Trump to keep that in mind.

Do you remember the Virginia Slims ads, ironically introduced in 1968? “You’ve come a long way, baby!”

What a sexist way to sell cigarettes by trying to dramatize progress women had made to that time.

Protest and reform are at the heart of American democracy, and they have been producing more gender equity and inclusion.

The progress has been uneven, but Helen Fisher emphasizes that the 21st century will be led by “the first sex” — her response to Simone DeBeauvoir’s 1952 depiction of women as “the second sex”.

Along the way, Pat Schroeder, longest serving female member of Congress, until her record was recently eclipsed by Barbara Mikulski, offered an incisive perspective in her appropriately entitled book of 1998: “Twenty Years of Housework and the Place is Still a Mess.”

Schroeder was the first woman elected to Congress from Colorado in 1972. At the time only 14 females served in the House of Representatives.

After the 2016 election there will be a record-tying 104 women in the 115th United States Congress — 83 of them in the House, nearly a 600 percent increase since Schroeder’s election.

In a year when most pundits and citizens expected a woman to be elected President, feminists

MICHAEL D’INNOCENZO Out of Left Field might have hoped for even larger gains.

However, an examination of women in the House and Senate illustrates demographic and Democratic trends that will shape future elections.

Just as Republican candidates have lost the popular vote in six of the last seven presidential elections, too often overlooked for significance, so too, the party differences for women in Congress are another danger sign for Republicans.

Here are some of the trends worth noting — all of then augur well for Democrats in terms of national demographics.

Six new women of color have been elected to the House, contributing to a new historic high of 34 — 31 Democrats, three Republicans.

In that record group, AfricanAmerican women number 17 Democrats, and only one Republican.

Of the nine Hispanics in 2017, seven are Democrats, and only two Republicans — just imagine what can happen in 2018 elections if Donald Trump holds to his “deportation squads” that will surely disrupt Latino families, friends and communities.

There will be seven Democratic Asian-Pacific-Islander women in the 2017 House — there are zero Republicans from that group.

In recent elections, “AsianAmericans” have sometimes given even higher support for Democrats than latinos.

Only two female House incumbents failed in reelection bids — both losers were Republicans.

In competition for eight open seats, Democrats won six.

In 2017 the House will have 62 Democratic women, and only

21 Republicans.

When we turn to the Senate, demographic trends even more dramatically bolster Democrats.

Of 21 Women in the 2017 Senate, 16 will be Democrats.

Especially noteworthy, with three new Democratic senators of color, they will quadruple the number of women of color serving simultaneously.

Indeed, besides these four in 2017, only one other woman of color has ever been elected to the Senate in all of American history.

Consider two other factors here regarding key roles by women when the new government meets in 2017.

Joining the GOP House group will be Liz Cheney.

She replaces the former Wyoming representative — one of only three women who wanted to be addressed as “congressman”.

More important, Cheney is likely to take Cynthia Lummis’ spot on the so-called “house freedom caucus” as the only female among 40 extreme conservatives that Long Island Republican Congressman Peter King has called “the crazies.”

A LOOK ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

It starts with an ‘m’ and ends with a ‘y’

D

octor,” I said, “I keep forgetting things.”

“Like what?”

“Ummmmm.....”

What, indeed? There were dozens of examples, but suddenly I couldn’t recall a single one.

“Like all the examples I was going to tell you,” I lamely finished.

“You’re probably just under a lot of stress,” he said.

Yes, I wanted to shout — the stress of knowing that my mind is disintegrating, piece by itty-bitty piece.

“Why didn’t you save yourself the co-pay and just talk to me?” said a friend later, over coffee.

“I could have told you what stress you’re under. It starts with an M.” “Memory loss?”

“Here’s another clue: You could call it estrogen withdrawal.”

“Oh. Well, at least it isn’t Alzheimer’s...but does that mean you’ve been forgetting things, too?”

“Let’s just say that I don’t enjoy watching Jeopardy as much as I used to.”

I used to enjoy Jeopardy, my-

self. In fact, when I was in high school, I was on our team for “It’s Academic,” a local television station’s quiz show where area high schools competed every week.

I used to know all sorts of trivia, from the countries and capitals of Africa — my favorite was Ouagadougou, in Upper Volta, now Burkina Faso — to which musical featured the song “Baubles, Bangles and Beads” — Kismet — to who ran against Harry S. Truman in his second campaign for President — trick question, he only ran once.

Plus, for extra credit, there should not be a period after that “S” in Truman’s name, as he always insisted it didn’t stand for anything.

Nowadays, I’m lucky if I remember my own middle name.

Too often, I find myself staring into the refrigerator, not seeing whatever I was looking for because I can’t remember what it was — only to close the refrigerator and go back to the living room, sit down again, and remember: “oh yes, a cup of coffee!”

Repeat that process a dozen times a day, and then wonder

JUDY EPSTEIN A Look on the Lighter Side where the time has gone — and before you start, I can tell you, don’t go looking for that in the refrigerator!

Another thing I can never remember is where I left my glasses.

Every night and every morning, my children had to help in the search, because I refused to wear the librarian-strings people gave me.

“As lost as mommy’s glasses,” my 11-year-old once contributed as an example of “simile” in English class.

Worst of all for a compulsive

talker and writer, I have begun to find myself at a loss for words.

“I know it begins with a K,” I said, when one child asked me for a synonym for “curdle.”

Six days later, I was driving the other child somewhere when it finally came to me: “Coagulate!”

At least it sounds like a “K.” I wonder if we could design a new game show for me — say, “Menopausal Pursuit,” or “Menopause Jeopardy!”

Categories could be: Names, Places, Facts and Faces — all followed by the phrase “That I Used to Know.”

For example, when you run into someone who “looks familiar,” do you spontaneously remember having met them before?

Ten points! Do you remember where?

Fifty points! Never mind their name.

They probably don’t remember yours either.

When your answer to a question is “I don’t remember the word, but I know it starts with an ‘S’,” you get 50 points if there turns out to actually be an “S” anywhere in the word.

When a child picks up a

knick-knack in your house, 20 points if you can remember where, or why, you got it, before it hits the ground.

For example: “honey, please put that down; it’s the incredibly expensive teacup Daddy and I bought on our honeymoon in Paris.”

“But you told us you and Daddy never went to Paris!”

“Okay, so we bought it at the airport, later, to pretend we’d gone to Paris. Now, put it down!”

Instead of a bird descending when you say the secret word, you will be randomly overcome with sudden hot flashes.

And, in the Double or Nothing Final Round, no one needs to bother with the actual answer.

“Who is buried in Grant’s Tomb?”

Instead, full credit will be awarded to every contestant who leaps up, after the answer is revealed, and shouts out “I knew that!”

The prize will be a pad of paper and a pencil, for writing down whatever it is you were looking for in the refrigerator.

Just don’t put down “my mind.”

That’s gone forever.

PROFESSOR’S PERSPECTIVE

Lesson for media-academia complex

A

s the clock approached midnight on Election Day, our collective bubble began bursting and my iPhone began blowing up.

Colleagues from my two professions, journalism and academia, and I were shell-shocked the presidential election didn’t go as expected.

“This is so f---ed up!” texted a journalist.

“Oh my God!” pinged a professor. “We will be the ones ostracized if he wins.”

When Donald Trump’s win was official, another academic acquaintance observed: “It’s an indictment on all of us.”

Indeed, it was an epic failure for the media-academia complex.

And not just because nearly every poll showing Trump had little-to-no chance of winning was a collaborative effort between media outlets and universities.

Journalists are supposed to inform the public about what’s happening in society.

Professors are expected to educate students about the real world.

But, this election, both were out of touch with reality.

While some correctly predicted the outcome, most of us perished the thought.

Our hubris may have even suppressed Hillary Clinton’s turnout and mobilized angry

Trump supporters.

We need to reckon with our flaws, or risk becoming completely irrelevant in the political process. Here are some ways we can improve: First, we must stop being insufferable know-it-alls.

As scribes and scholars, we have expertise in a particular beat or field, but that doesn’t make us qualified to determine which candidate is best to lead 320 million Americans, each of whom has many and varied needs.

Nor is it our job.

Yet, law professor Stanley Fish acknowledged in a New York Times op-ed, it’s “so commonplace for professors to regularly equate the possession of an advanced degree with virtue.”

Likewise — “journalists, at our worst, see ourselves as a priestly caste,” CBS political editor Will Rahn confessed in a column.

“We believe we not only have access to the indisputable facts, but also a greater truth.”

Trump showed us we’re not as smart as we think. It’s time for some humility.

As Socrates, a great teacher with a knack for a good sound bite, said: “the only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”

But that’s difficult to realize when living in a bubble.

The election exposed how

MARK GRABOWSKI Professor’s Perspective isolated and insulated we are from the typical Trump voter: a Republican who lacks a college degree and who lives in Middle America, according to exit polls.

By contrast, journalists and professors are highly educated and tend to be liberal, studies show.

Universities are concentrated on the east and west coasts.

Meanwhile, “journalism jobs are leaving the middle of the country and heading for the coasts” due to the Internet, Harvard’s Nieman Journalism Lab found.

We care about different things, too.

While the media-academia complex fixated on social justice, exit polls showed the most important issue for Trump voters was the economy.

But, as professor Liz Swan decried in Psychology Today, we made “ignorant presumptions about how others are feeling or thinking without even having a conversation with them.”

Although prejudice may be unavoidable, as professors and journalists we’re professionally obligated to try to be fair.

However, shortly before the school year started, a Gettysburg College political science professor declared in a Philadelphia Inquirer op-ed that a Trump presidency was “unteachable” and it would be “a disservice to students to attempt to provide balance.”

The next day, The New York Times published a cover story calling on reporters to “throw out the textbook American journalism has been using” even though “it may not always seem fair to Mr. Trump.”

Many other journalists and professors adopted this approach, creating an echo chamber and hurting their professions’ integrity.

Critical thinking, the American Philosophical Association stresses, requires being objective and fair-minded in evaluation.

“Ethical journalism,” the Society of Professional Journalists asserts, “should be accurate and fair.”

Small wonder that studies show critical thinking among

college students and public trust in the media are at all-time lows.

If we want others to support our calls for social justice, we must first be fair ourselves.

Thankfully, some leading media and academic institutions have started addressing these problems.

Even before the primary elections began, the University of Chicago released a powerful statement committing the school to freedom of expression, including “ideas and opinions — individuals — find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”

Immediately after the election, The New York Times’ publisher and top editor promised to “rededicate” themselves to reporting “honestly” and “impartially.”

Others in the media and academia should follow suit.

But, a few weeks after the election, it’s clear from perusing social media that many scholars and scribes still haven’t learned much from November’s surprise.

And it doesn’t take a college degree to know what happens when you don’t learn from history.

Mark Grabowski Journalism professor at Adelphi University and former political journalist

Women interrupted Castro’s death offers hope Continued from Page 15 This is the group that drove John Boehner to resign as GOP Speaker.

Historian Jon Meacham has described the former President George H.W. Bush and others as furious with Liz and her mother Lynn for pushing Dick Cheney to more extreme positions in the Bush 43 presidency.

Liz and her mom have been described as team “iron ass.”

The Washington Post notes: “The Cheney women adopted the moniker with pride.”

As an early supporter of Trump and a far-right conservative, Liz is likely to cause huge mischief as a new member of the House — a reason Sen. Rand Paul endorsed her Wyoming GOP opponent.

A second consideration is the fantasy of many Democrats that Michele Obama will seek office.

If Trump and Cheney “go low,” Ms. Obama, as the person with the highest approval rating in the United States, could be best equipped to channel Eleanor Roosevelt “to go high.”

Fidel Castro has died at age 90 and now maybe there is hope for the people of Cuba.

Here was a tyrant that was most nefarious by his actions and had impoverished his nation and his own people.

His brutal regime executed thousands of innocent people.

As reported, Fidel Castro admitted holding 15,000 political prisoners.

It was also reported that over 582 people were shot by firing squad in a two year period.

And during the 1960s the United States and the Soviet Union were on the verge of nu-

clear war over missiles in Cuba.

Now on a personal note my mother became good friends with a woman on 213th street in Queens Village in the 1950s.

She had escape from Cuba with her three sons and one daughter after her husband was killed by Castro’s rebels.

She and her sons worked hard and was able to buy a house in Queens Village.

I remember she would take care of me while my mother had to do errands.

Her name was Marie and I found her to be a most kind woman who worked hard for her family and believed in the American dream and hated what Castro did to Cuba.

I also remember she even gave my mother a set of maracas for a present because my mother like Latin American music.

Marie also try to teach me how to play the piano which was in her living room.

After my mother died she

told my father if there was anything she could do to help.

A number of years later she sold the house in Queens Village and invested in a apartment building — I think somewhere in Queens.

As I think back Marie was truly an example of the Cuba immigrants that have come to the America.

I still don’t understand how Fidel Castro was able to stay in power all these decades.

I therefore pray for the Cuba people that they can be afforded more freedom, economic security and religious freedom.

Although, Raul Castro is still in power and can prevent that from happening.

But that regime may also pass away.

So in closing let me say:” Viva, Cuba and its’ people for its’ a new day.”

Trump’s election sets America back

D

onald Trump is no Adolf Hitler.

Certainly there are similarities — they were obsessed with controlling their public image.

They took great joy in affixing their name to public places.

They enjoyed finding dirt that could be used for blackmail to manipulate, or threaten, people into compliance.

They employed counterfeiting to achieve their goals.

In Hitler’s case, it was the creation of counterfeit histories — the ‘stab in the back’ myth, the ‘Jewish cabal’ myth — in addition to the counterfeit signs and facilities meant to fool people into believing that the gas chamber was a communal shower.

This list can go on.

Trump employed the art of counterfeiting by creating a ‘university’ where he pretended to offer useful advice for a large sum of money.

He created a ‘foundation’ that could accept donations.

He lent his name to construction projects, giving them the veneer of respectability, when often they were scams.

This list can go on.

Still, Trump is no Hitler.

Hitler could act as his own lawyer in a court of law, as he did after his failed 1923 coup.

Hitler possessed a core ideology, however reprehensible.

Hitler could express himself using more than 140 characters.

Trump, thankfully, possesses none of these qualities.

For Trump to be Hitler, he would need to have characteristics that go beyond bombast, narcissism, and the ability to work a crowd into a frenzy.

He’d need the craftiness of a Steve Bannon, the cynicism of a Paul Ryan, and the diabolical cunning of a Newt Gingrich.

Yet even this would not be sufficient to create a Hitler — a human being capable of orchestrating the inhuman on a massive scale.

However, let’s not break open the champagne to celebrate Trump’s shortcomings.

Trump has resuscitated the horrors of American history.

If Reagan made us believe that greed is good, and Bush made us believe that torture is good, Trump has made a fright-

eningly large segment of the populace believe that hatred is good.

He did not do this all alone.

He had many enablers in the media, in the halls of Congress, and in the upper reaches of business.

The three decades long I.V. drip of hate that has come out of the mouths of Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly, Coulter, and others, combined with nearly two decades of digitally distributed hate, combined with faux histories — counterfeit histories — put forth by O’Reilly, Pat Buchanan, Jonah Goldberg, and others, has prepared the hearts and minds of millions to embrace hatred, to cherish it as an unalloyed good.

On Jan. 20, 2017, when we put a madman at the helm of the most powerful nation on earth, we should not think that America will suddenly have transit camps, work camps, or killing centers.

We will not have Nuremberg Laws —however there may be faint echoes of these things.

Our patriotic storm troops may be pulling people out of their homes, tossing them into detention centers, and sending them back home where, in some cases, death awaits.

Our version of the Nuremberg Laws may be in the guise of exclusionary quotas, reverse discrimination lawsuits.

Will our home-grown neo-Nazis claim that they are being unfairly excluded from the halls of academia by the culture of political correctness?

And an even newer Jim Crow that goes beyond the nationwide carceral state and which becomes international in scope.

We may be marching towards an America that we have yet to fully imagine, an America where every crackpot Republican idea will be given serious consideration, and stands a serious chance of being implemented.

Trump may not be Hitler, but the psychological damage approaches the scale of a Hitler.

Everything that we have cherished, that we have considered inalienable, that we have taken as the bedrock of America’s greatness, has been broken.

On Jan. 20, 2017, this can only get worse.

Turkey Trot rules are for the birds

A

fter moving to Port Washington four years ago, the annual Turkey Trot has become a tradition in our family and one we look forward to every year.

This year, as in the past, my kids looked me up to tell me I had placed second in my age group.

However, on further research, we realized I had actually placed fifth, according to my “GunTime,” and only placed second, according to my “NetTime.”

It didn’t make sense to me so I did a little research into the scoring system, since participants were not informed about how their times would be recognized in any of the entrant information or details about the race.

Runners in a chip-timed race, which are used by most road races these days, usually have two sets of times, which are called GunTime and NetTime.

In many running events, organizations give each

registrant a “chip time” with a radio frequency identification chip adhered to the back of their bib number, a starting line mat and a finish line mat.

Each finisher receives a NetTime that “starts” when you cross the starting mats, “StartTime,” and “finishes” when you cross the finish mats, FinishTime.

When you cross the starting line, the mats activate the chip and read its unique code from antennas embedded within the mats.

The time of day is recorded and paired with your chip code and stored in a special computer box called a decoder that is attached to the mats.

The same exact thing happens at the finish line as the exact global positioning system time of day is recorded when you cross the line.

Each finisher also gets a GunTime.

This time starts when the starting device, gun, air

She recognizes that “one size fits all” doesn’t apply to our students.

We need a candidate that can oversee a quality education within the constraints of difficult economic times.

Donna Peirez is that candidate.

America is mad as hell

Peirez for ed board onna Peirez brings a unique perspective to the role of a member of the Board of Education.

As a long-time resident of Great Neck, she is mindful of the rising cost of education.

She is intimately aware of the limits that the tax cap puts on running the school district.

Having worked beside Donna for many years, I observed that she has an incredible understanding of what the children in our community need and a

horn, voice command, is implemented to begin the race, regardless how long it takes the participant to get to the actual starting line.

I learned that the Port Washington Community Chest determines its Turkey Trot winners by GunTime.

You have to physically cross the Finish line before someone else in order to be recognized as the winner, even if you have run a full minute faster than them.

This was not publicized anywhere but now I know for next year.

Though you have to wonder why they have a chip system if they don’t use it in any official capacity.

And to all those looking to place first, second or third — make sure you get to the front of the race.

’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore,” — that’s the real message from the election.

It’s been clear for years that the United States Congress and the Washington establishment doesn’t do anything.

Well they talk a lot and pose for pictures and solicit campaign contributions — so they can get re-elected and talk to each other some more.

Our system of government is broken.

The lobbyists have taken over.

Money talks and it doesn’t say: “let’s help the little guy — the average Joe.”

“

Money says: “let’s help ourselves — the little guy be damned.”

Corruption is the norm. Lying is expected.

Honesty is in short supply.

Unbiased news reporting is a myth.

It’s been said that people get the kind of government they deserve.

So what does that say about America? “We have met the enemy, and it is us.”

Paper’s columnists, Dems out of touch

I

was a bit tired when I read the Nov. 18 edition, so I went back and re-read it.

It was so partisan — I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or get angry.

I have come to respect the columns of Jerry Kremer, and as usual, he did not disappoint.

“Election is over, time to move on,” is sage and correct — a wise man.

That is what we do here in America.

All the crybabies and sore losers need to go to their safe spaces, and have some milk and cookies, and enjoy their Play Dough.

As a retired United States Navy Officer, who has lived in 23 states, and been to 49 of the 50, missing North Dakota, I am always somewhere between amused and annoyed when the very liberal people of the North Shore of Nassau County think

that they are wiser and more sage than the rest of the United States, and just can’t imagine why others don’t see the sagacity of their positions.

This election has proven just that — that many people in the United States who are good citizens and love their country don’t agree with a lot of people around here, and for good reasons.

I have read the columns of Judy Epstein, and I find her amusing and refreshing most of the time, but not this time.

I have traded shots recently with several women who wanted to see a woman in the White House, regardless of who she was or what she stood for.

Hillary Clinton was a terrible candidate, and most people with any sense of right and wrong knew that.

A sage lady I work with likened her candidacy to a “coro-

nation.“ Fortunately, enough of us weren’t buying.

Those pundits who attempt to blame it on “sexism” or “white-lash “ are stupefyingly clueless.

This had nothing to do with racism or sexism.

If Condoleeza Rice ran for President, I would have voted for her-because she would have been a good President.

Voting for Hillary because she is a woman is like buying a car because you like the color, and ignoring everything else that you want in a car.

The time is not far off when we will have a woman President, but Hillary was totally unsuited and unsuitable.

y name is Steven Flynn, and my wife Cindy and I are lifetime residents of Manhasset.

My daughter Michelle just graduated with the class of 2016 from Manhasset High School, and my son Aiden is attending kindergarten at Shelter Rock.

I am writing to inform you that on Tuesday, Dec. 13, I will be running for the position of Manhasset-Lakeville Water/Fire Commissioner.

My last 18 years of working with a water distribution system has given me extensive knowledge on the everyday operations of how water systems operate.

Additionally, I am a New York State certified water operator for the past 16 years.

I have proudly served my community for 27 years as a volunteer firefighter, and I understand what is needed to provide the best fire/emergency medical services to the district. In my years of

service as a volunteer firefighter, I have held the position of 2nd Lieutenant, 1st Lieutenant, and Captain from 2000 to 2006.

I hope that the qualifications I have mentioned above will allow you to give me a chance to serve as your next commissioner.

My extensive water and fire experience, coupled with my leadership positions, gives me the experience and insight into what our district needs.

Please vote on Tuesday, Dec. 13 from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. at firehouses no. 1, 3, 4, and 5.

I appreciate your support, and I’d like to wish you and your family a very happy, healthy and safe holiday season.

Remember — your vote counts.

And her treatment of those around her when not on camera? Thanks, but no thanks.

I am not a huge Trump fan, though I voted for him.

America is a center/slightly right country. Barack Obama took us way too far to the left.

There had to be a swing back to center. How far — we’ll have to wait and see, however Obama knows that his leftist “vision” for America, financed

by George Soros, will be rolled back.

NHP fights battle against citification It’s about time I wrote about New Hyde Park, that little hamlet just west of Williston Park.

I had always thought that New Hyde Park was the area between Hillside Avenue and Jericho Turnpike and between Herricks Road and Denton Avenue.

How wrong I was.

Actually what I thought of as New Hyde Park is made up of Herricks, North New Hyde Park, Garden City Park, Manhasset Hills and New Hyde Park proper.

I like to describe a town’s character by pointing to its most magical spot.

Paris has the Eiffel Tower and London has Westminster Abbey.

Closer to home, Williston Park has Hildebrandt’s, Manhasset has the Miracle Mile and Port Washington has Louie’s Oyster Bar and Grille.

So what’s the architectural center point that best symbolizes New Hyde Park?

Given the fact that New Hyde Park is actually four towns in one, this is sure to be a challenge.

Once again my plan is to plot a minor excursion into this western hinterland and keep my eyes open.

I begin at the intersection of Herricks and Hillside and head south.

I give a tearful goodbye to Williston Park and immediately

to my right is Herrill Lanes.

I work with professional bowlers so I’ve been there before.

I’ve always liked the sound that bowling balls make when they hit the pins.

And who doesn’t like those comfy bowling shoes — a real throw-back to the fifties.

However, I don’t like the smell of bowling alleys — too dusty, I think.

I keep heading south and notice Dominck’s Italian Deli on the right.

It is recessed away from the road with a large parking garage on the right and a big home on the left making it a perfect little piazza.

I have thought maybe one thousand times that if they would develop the outside into a patio setting I would come there once a week.

I keep heading south until I get to Jericho Turnpike and head west.

I pass Jonathan’s — I once had brunch there; fond memories.

To my left is Uncle Bacala’s — nice Italian seafood.

I keep going west past the Denton House and suddenly develop a feeling that I’m closer to New York City than I want to be.

The feeling is subtle and comes from a combination of too many speeding cars, streets

DR. TOM FERRARO Our Town that are too cramped and too many traffic lights.

Undaunted, I keep going past New Hyde Park Road, and get to Lakeville Road — where I make a right and head north.

Back in 1683 New Hyde Park was an 800-acre parcel of land given to Thomas Dongan who was fourth royal governor of New York.

He called the land “Dongan’s Farm,” and built a mansion on Lakeville Road.

By 1691 he fled back to Ireland and the land was eventually purchased by George Clarke in 1691 who named the land Hyde Park after his wife’s maiden name.

When I get to Union Turnpike I make a right and head back east.

I travel to Marcus, keep going east until I get to Hillside Avenue and see Spring Rock Golf

Center on my right.

Many Korean-Americans over there hitting many golf balls.

I am tempted to stop by and hit a few myself but resist the urge given my limited time frame.

Like most Americans these days, I am too busy to waste my time on trivial things like fun and games.

I keep going east and now am in familiar territory.

I spy Iceland Rink on my left and think fondly of the big poster I have of myself hanging over the ice and worry whether my phone number is large enough.

I then pass by Sushi Republic, the wonderful Japanese restaurant where I have lunch maybe twice a week.

Soon enough I am back in my office in Williston Park and wondering about how best to characterize New Hyde Park.

The answer is easy — the best way to describe New Hyde Park is to speak nostalgically of Lakeside Avenue when it had Thomas Dongan’s mansion which was surrounded by open farmland and grazing cattle.

Those days are long gone and what is of great concern is the slow, steady inevitability of Nassau County turning into Queens County.

This is unsettling.

I always thought of myself

A McDonalds in the historical landmark Denton House circa 1795 on Jericho Turnpike, New Hyde Park.

as a suburban guy, not a city guy but clearly the city is coming our way.

It has crawled its way past Lakeville Road and is steadily encroaching upon Williston Park.

I feel like handing out brooms to all the people in New Hyde Park and ask them to stamp out any evidence of Queens County by sweeping toward the west..

Somehow I do not think this will work.

I would even be willing to commission a 25-foot tall bronze sculpture of a broom by Claes Oldenburg and place it somewhere on Lakeville Road as a symbol of the resistance to the slow approach of Queens into Nassau County.

New Hyde Park is the border land between Queens County and Nassau County and for that reason it needs all our love — good will and blessings we can muster.

There will be no Trumpian wall built between Queens and Nassau.

There will be no 25-foot bronze broom to symbolize the protection of suburbia.

Welcome to the 21st century.

Progress and growth and change will not be stopped — so Nassau County, get ready to be citified.

THE CULINARY ARCHITECT

‘Electric’ roast beef for the holidays To me and my family, nothing says it is holiday time more than gathering around a beautifully set table and eating roast beef.

The holidays are the perfect time to make a standing rib roast.

It is one of those meals that is regal and delicious.

However, it is not that easy to prepare, as it takes up most of the oven and you have to pull out this heavy piece of meat several times.

I set out to “free up my oven� and make it easier to prepare this delicious meat.

Enter The Electric Roaster — by making the roast beef in an electric roaster, this diďŹƒcult meal becomes easy.

Add vegetables midway and you have your vegetable side dish, pass around stewed tomatoes and make individual Yorkshire puddings while the roast rests and you have a feast that will make any holiday dinner festive.

MENU Serves 6-8 Standing Rib Roast Mixed Vegetables Yorkshire Pudding

Mixed Vegetables Cooked Under A Roast Beef

Stewed Tomatoes (See Island Now October 6, 2016) Standing Rib Roast 1 6-7 lb. standing rib roast 1/8 cup Maggi Seasoning 1/8 cup Worcestershire Sauce Olive oil Freshly ground pepper 1. Twenty-four to forty-eight (24-48) hours ahead of time, combine the Maggi Seasoning and the Worcestershire Sauce in a large non-reactive bowl or very large Ziploc bag.

2. Generously, pepper roast and place in bowl or ziploc to marinate. Refrigerate. Rotate every now and then. (I rotate my mine every time I open the refrigerator door).

3. One half hour (1/2) before roasting, turn electric roaster on highest heat.

4. One half hour (1/2) later, brush electric roaster with oil. Dry o roast and put in roaster, fat side down. Sear for 15 minutes. Turn

ALEXANDRA TROY The Culinary Architect over. Ten minutes later, turn again.

Ten minutes later, turn on last side.

5. Turn down roaster to 325 degrees. Cook 15 minutes more.

Add vegetables at this point, so roast and veggies will be done simultaneously.

6. After roast has cook 1 1/2 hours, double check its temperature. It should be 120 degrees for a perfectly cooked center. Remove the roast from roaster. Set aside on a wooden carving board. Cover with foil and let rest 1/2 hour.

7. Carve and serve.

5 - 7 carrots, washed, peeled and cut into chunks 4 - 6 celery stalks, washed, peeled and cut into chunks 2 onions, peeled, stem removed and cut into chunks 1/4 cup olive oil Salt and Pepper tot taste 1. One to twelve (1 - 12) hours before cooking, place all the ingredients in a Ziploc bag. Toss to combine, seal bag and let marinate in refrigerator.

2. After roast has cooked for 1 hour, add vegetables. Roast vegetables until roast is done. If vegetables need more time, continue roasting while meat rests.

3. Scoop vegetables into a serving dish and serve along side carved meat.

(Make this while the roast is resting) 3 large eggs 3/4 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup our 3/4 tsp. sea salt 1/4 cup non-fat or olive oil or a combo of both 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

2. Oil 6-8 large cupcake tins.

3. In a bowl, whisk 3 eggs until well beaten. Add cream, our and salt. Mix until combined.

4. Pour mixture into muďŹƒn tins. Bake until puy and golden brown‌approximately 12-17 minutes.

Yorkshire Pudding, My Way (Makes 6-8, depending on how high you ďŹ ll muďŹƒn tins and the size of the muďŹƒn tin)

Tips for less stressful holiday travel R

oadways, railways and skies tend to get busy come the holiday season, when millions of people across the globe travel to visit family and friends.

Wherever travelers are headed, be it across the country or across the world, they should realize that many other people are traveling as well.

That can lead to traffic, long lines and other side effects associated with large crowds. But before travelers let the idea of challenging travel conditions deter them, they can consider certain ways to make the process of getting from point A to point B a bit more manageable.

Travel by car Those traveling by automobile will have a few extra steps to take to ensure their trips go off with minimal disturbances. One of the more important steps is to ensure the vehicle is properly maintained prior to departing. Have the car checked by a

mechanic and take care of any service appointments, such as oil changes or tire rotations.

Traveling by plane

Map out the route in advance and have an alternative plan if the route chosen proves to be too congested. One idea is to choose a scenic drive that may be a little longer but has less traffic.

In addition, account for rest stops or points of interest that can break up the trip. Apps such as GasBuddy can help drivers find the cheapest gas or the cleanest bathrooms along their routes.

One of the key things air travelers can do to make holiday traveling easier is to avoid peak travel dates.

Whenever possible, avoid traveling the day right before the holiday, which tends be the busiest and most expensive. Remember, weekends tend to be more harried and expensive as well, particularly when the holidays fall in close proximity to a weekend.

Bring along plenty of snacks so you can eat healthy and aren’t forced to rely on foods you otherwise would not eat. This is particularly helpful with keeping kids satiated. Plan for a few treats along the way so that everyone traveling has an end goal, such as an ice cream or a souvenir.

Weather is a gamble in many regions of the world during the holiday season. Develop a contingency plan just in case foul weather delays or cancels flights. It’s much less stressful to put plan B into motion than it can be to rush around trying to make new, last-minute plans.

Always shop around for the best rates, but also the best atmosphere.

It may be wiser to fly out of a smaller airport where crowds will be thinner and delays less frequent, or you may prefer a larger airport that’s closer to home and offers more amenities.

Another way to avoid delays is to pack minimally. Ship gifts and even travel essentials ahead to your destination, and only bring carry-on bags aboard the plane. This helps travelers sail through security checks and avoid the crowds at the luggage carousels.

Holiday travel requires planning, patience and having alternative plans in place so that everyone can make it home for the holidays.

way to encourage participation. When everyone brings something along and helps, it frees up time to spend together rather than worrying about what needs cooking in the kitchen or whether a last-minute trip to the store is in order.

Downsize Festive feelings may inspire you to expand your guest list. Social people understandably want to invite all of their circles of friends, but an overwhelming guest list can make hosting more difficult. If you have trouble paring down the guest list, consider hosting separate parties, designating one for family and another for friends.

You can even downsize your offerings to lessen some your load. Rather than spending days in the kitchen making unique apps, stock up on chips, snacks and premade appetizers so you have enough food. If you want to make one or two appetizers from scratch, stick to a handful of tried-and-true recipes and convenience items so you’re not worrying about kitchen-testing new things.

oliday revelers tend to be busy with social engagements — from corporate parties to cocktails with close friends — between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. Chances are, many people will be attending a party and/or hosting their own this holiday season.

While attending a party requires little of celebrants other than a willingness to have a good time, hosting a holiday get-together can be hard work. But hosts can heed a few time-tested strategies to ensure they and their guests make the most of their time together this holiday season.

Hire professionals If you’re simply too busy to handle hosting but still want to invite loved ones, hire some professional help. Hire wait staff to tend to guests during the party, and book a cleaning service to clean your home in the days before the party. Don’t hesitate to have the party catered if you prefer your gathering not be potluck.

Holiday hosting can be a big time commitment, but there are ways to make hosting easier regardless of how busy you are.

Forget perfection Television, movies and advertisements paint an unrealistic picture of what the holidays should be. Don’t get down if a holiday party that would make Norman Rockwell proud is beyond your capabilities. Rather than trying to plan a picture-perfect holiday party, channel your energy into what you do best. Cook up a holiday feast if you love being in the kitchen, or decorate till you drop if you love to deck the halls.

The point of the party is to gather with family and friends, so no need to worry about throwing a perfect party.

Enlist helpers Ask others to contribute to the party so all of the work is not on your shoulders. A potluck party is a great

Hiring a bartender or wait staff for a holiday party frees up more time to socialize with your friends and family members.

onsumerism reaches a fevered pitch during the last quarter of the year, when the holidays fuel increased spending on everything from dining and entertainment to gadgets to toys. It can be easy to get swept along during the season of spending and fail to pay attention to budgets when the urge to splurge on loved ones sets in. However, failure to take inventory of where money is going can leave individuals facing some unwanted financial repercussions come the new year.

Spending beyond their means is something many holiday shoppers fall victim to. Perhaps they didn’t accurately budget for the year, or surprise purchases crop up, pulling resources away from holiday allowances. That’s when credit cards can become so attractive, and potentially dangerous.

A 2014 survey from Accenture, a leading global professional services company, found that most people make a budget for holiday gift buying, but nearly half exceed their budgets anyway. Buying with credit cards makes overspending easy. Consumers who want to avoid holiday debt can take a proactive approach and explore some other financing options this holiday season.

Layaway Various retailers have reinstituted layaway policies to make it easier for shoppers to buy holiday gifts. With layaway, instead of paying for an item all at once and leaving with it the same day, shoppers pay a percentage of the cost of the item. In the meantime, it is held in layaway. Once an item has been paid for in full, the merchandise is free to leave the store. Spacing out payments can help shoppers avoid

overspending, and many stores do not charge interest fees on layaway purchases.

Holiday clubs Financial institutions may offer savings clubs that can help people save for holiday spending over several months. The “club” is simply a special short-term savings account set up to encourage holiday saving. Many such accounts can be opened with a nominal deposit. At the end of the term, the money can be withdrawn and used for holiday purchases. Shoppers likely won’t miss the small amount of money being set aside each paycheck, but are surprised to see just how quickly savings can add up.

While some banks still offer Christmas club accounts, which reached the height of their popularity in the 1970s, today they are most commonly offered by credit unions. According to the Credit Union National Association, or CUNA, nearly 72 percent of credit unions run Christmas clubs, and consumer interest in these clubs is holding steady.

Credit card perks Smarter credit card usage during the year can be handy come the holidays.

Choose cards that will yield cash back or other perks, such as discounts at certain retailers. Also, be sure to pay the balances off in full when the bills arrive, so as not to rack up high interest charges throughout the year. Use the cash-back rewards you accumulate during the year as a holiday spending allowance.

Holiday shoppers can implement a few saving and spending strategies to avoid going into debt this holiday season.

How to ship smart

T

he holiday season can be hectic, and thanks to that sometimes frenetic pace, it can be easy to put things on the back burner. While it’s OK to put off some things until the holiday season has come and gone, shipping gifts to loved ones does not fall into that category. Shipping can be expensive, especially for last-minute shoppers who want to ensure their gifts arrive in time for the holidays. But the following are a handful of ways to ship smart and save both time and money.

Ship directly to the recipient. Lastminute shoppers who are buying online can save money by shipping gifts directly to the recipient. While shipping directly to the recipient may seem less personal than sending a gift you wrapped yourself, many online retailers allow shoppers to send gift-wrapped items directly to another person. Just be sure to have the recipient’s correct address when choosing this option.

Ship early. Waiting to ship all gifts at the same time may be more convenient, but it can prove more costly as well. If you typically finish your holiday shopping just a few days before Christmas, then waiting to ship

everything will cost more money than shipping gifts as you buy them. The longer you wait to ship gifts, the more you can expect to pay if you expect those gifts to arrive on time. Shipping gifts as you buy them, especially if you get much of your shopping done early, can save you short-term or overnight shipping fees, which can be significant.

Comparison shop. Much like you can save money by comparison shopping for holiday gifts, you can save by comparing shipping costs as well.

Pack-and-ship companies compete for consumers’ business during the height of the holiday shipping season, so compare the costs between the various pack-and-ship companies, including the postal service, to see which offers the best deal.

Insure the items you ship. The holiday season is the busiest time of year for the pack-and-ship industry. While the industry is often remarkably effective at delivering gifts intact and on time, items are sometimes lost or damaged. By insuring your packages, you’re ensuring you won’t be out of luck should your package be lost, damaged or stolen before it reaches its destination.

How to find great gifts for the family handyman

F

or those people who don’t know a box cutter from a box saw, shopping for men and women who like to get their hands dirty

around the house can be a difficult task. Home improvement projects are complex undertakings that often involve the use of complex tools, and novices may be lost in the proverbial woods as they look for gifts for their loved ones who can’t wait to swing hammers around the house. Though there’s always an element of risk when shopping for gifts for loved ones, the following hints might help shoppers with no knowledge of home improvement projects find gifts that will please their favorite handyman.

Take inventory of his or her existing tools. When shopping for the DIY enthusiast in your family, try to take inventory of his or her tool chest before beginning your search.

Make note of any tools that look new, checking those off your shopping list, and any that look like they need replacing. Use your phone to photograph any unfamiliar tools that you might want to replace so you know what to look for when visiting the hardware store.

Think of what your relative likes to do most. The family handyman may have a particular area of home improvement expertise or something he or she is especially passionate about. Does your loved one prefer to work in the garden? Is he into woodworking and making decorative items for the house? Think of what he or she likes to do most and then look for something that will make that hobby more enjoyable. While multipurpose tools might make for welcome gifts, something more specific to his or her particular passion may make an even better gift.

Think outside the (tool)box. While new tools might make a handyman’s day, they are not the only items that make great DIY gifts. Consider enrolling your loved one in an advanced class so he or she can learn more about a favorite hobby.

Or gift a magazine subscription so he or she can stay abreast of the latest DIY trends and topics. Such gifts are great options for shoppers hesitant

to purchase potentially costly tools that may or may not be hits with their relatives.

Speak with a professional. If you can’t access your loved one’s workshop or simply don’t know what he or she might want, ask a local contractor for gift recommendations.

For example, a carpenter might know just what will elicit a smile from woodworking enthusiasts, while landscapers might be able to suggest items for gardening or lawn care enthusiasts. Advancements are always being made in the home improvement industry, and those people who make their living in that industry might be great resources as you try to find the go-to gift for your loved one.

Finding a gift for the family handyman might be difficult for shoppers with no DIY experience of their own. But a little forethought and perhaps some professional assistance can be just what shoppers need to find gifts their loved ones will cherish for years to come.

Pair to face off for water, fire commish

BY M A X Z A H N Donald T. O’Brien pointed to his experience helping manage the budget of the ManhassetLakeville Fire and Water District. Steve Flynn cited his background as a public works superintendent.

The two are competing in an election on Dec. 13 to fill a three-year term on the district’s commission.

The three commissioners oversee an $18.6 million budget and ensure that residents receive clean, reliable water as well as prompt fire safety services. The ManhassetLakeville Fire and Water District takes in all of Manhasset except for Plandome, half of Great Neck, and some of northern New Hyde Park.

Though the commission oversees both the fire and water districts, which cover the same geographic area, the two are technically independent of each other. They serve approximately 45,000

people, who use 7.4 million gallons of water a day, according to the water district’s website.

The position of commissioner is part-time and pays $100 for each of two weekly meetings for a total of approximately $800 per month.

O’Brien, an incumbent who has served two three-year terms, emphasized his 34 years working in real estate finance before taking the position and how it helped him manage the district budget.

“We haven’t borrowed any money since I’ve been on the board,” he said.

“We paid down $10.6 million of the water district debt, which amounts to 50 percent of the total.

And the fire district will be debt free in March.”

He pointed to the new Munsey Park water tower, which he said will go on line by the end of the year, as an achievement that came together through the careful apportioning of funds and the consis-

Steve Flynn, a longtime Manhasset resident and candidate for commissioner of the Manhasset-Lakeville Fire and Water District. tent application of oversight for the duration of the two-year project.

The tower is behind schedule, since its initial deadline for completion was November.

O’Brien attributed the delay to the “impact of weather” and said he considered the timeline “pretty accurate forecasting for such a large project.”

Initially, when the water tower was proposed, village officials and residents raised concerns about the aesthetics

In an interview, Flynn described himself as superintendent of the Department for Public Works in the Village of Plandome.

The village website lists him as the Highway and Water Department foreman. Elizabeth Kaye, the clerk-treasurer for the village, said the two titles are used interchangeably

Researcher gets $1.8M grant

BY M A X Z A H N Back pain is the most common cause of disability in the United States, according to the Feinstein Institute for Medical Research in Manhasset.

Nadeen Chahine, a Ph.D. scientist with the organization, took a step last month toward addressing the ailment’s impact when she received a five-year, $1.8 million grant from the National Institutes of Health to explore inflammation’s role in degenerative disc diseases of the spine, the institute said.

“Spine- and disc-related pain affect people from young adulthood onward, in the prime of their life when they’re most busy in careers and having families. So it causes a tremendous economic burden as well as a health care burden,” Chahine said.

“My area of interest is to try to understand what causes the discs and soft tissues of the spine, which give it flexibility, to degenerate over time,” she added.

The study will examine a molecule called the high mobility group box one, HMGB1, a protein expressed by dying or stressed cells, the institute said.

The question the study seeks

Nadeen Chahine, a research scientist at the Feinstein Institute who was recently awarded a $1.8 million grant. to answer is whether the release of the protein in such cells is a cause of the degeneration in spinal discs and soft tissue.

“Are the molecules a leading cause of degeneration or a bystander? It’s hard to know,” she said.

Chahine will examine how the HMGB1 molecule functions in samples of degenerating tissue and will inject the molecules into healthy tissue samples to observe their effect.

If Chahine finds that the molecule causes disc and soft tissue degeneration, then it could lead to a new treatment, she said. She

cautioned that, in a best-case scenario, such a drug development process would take about 10 years to complete “efficacy and safety testing.”

According to Chahine, a new treatment is necessary because “there is little information physicians can offer patients as far as therapy” for soft tissue and disc degeneration.

“If it doesn’t resolve at home with care like Advil then patients tend to see a specialist who might use epidural steroid injections to relieve the pain,” she said.

“The outcomes of these injections are highly varied and unpredictable. Some respond favorably and some don’t, without clear indication of what factors matter most in helping people respond well.”

She added, “What we’re trying to do in this study is come up with alternative therapies for people.”

Chahine said she has family members who suffer from back pain.

“I’ve been fortunate that I haven’t suffered from it myself,” she said.

“At some point I may have to manage my own. I don’t think anyone is immune.”

by village officials.

Flynn overseas two full-time employees and an occasional part-time employee, Kaye said.

Flynn said his job affords him “extensive knowledge of the water distribution systems.”

“I understand costs and options with water systems, and I have worked within budgets to get the right systems at the right price,” he added.

He also pointed to his 27 years as a volunteer firefighter in Manhasset, which included positions of second lieutenant, first lieutenant and captain.

“I bring the right blend of fire and water background coupled with the love I have for this town as a 46-year resident,” he said.

For his part, O’Brien said he has lived in Manhasset “since grammar school.”

Flynn acknowledged that O’Brien has “served this community well over the last six years.”

“This is an election

where the voters have two viable candidates,” he added.

O’Brien did not share such an opinion of Flynn.

He said Flynn “has a limited understanding because he has only been to two meetings and there is a lot going on.”

The water district holds one meeting per week, as does the fire district. Flynn did not respond to a request for comment about the number of meetings he has attended.

Flynn said he would “serve Manhasset with utmost respect for our community, and with the pride and tradition that my family has instilled in me.”

O’Brien summed up his candidacy by saying, “There are a lot of financial and management duties for the commissioner.

That’s what I brought to the job and I want to continue to do that.”

Voting will take place on Dec. 13 from noon to 9 p.m. at firehouses 1, 3, 4 and 5.

Longtime resident, WWII vet turns 100

BY M A X Z A H N Bernie Feinstein allows each member of the senior men’s club at the Jewish Community Center in Roslyn no more than two pieces of lox per meeting.

“If I allowed them to eat more, they would fill up their plates,” he said. “I’ve become the lox Nazi.”

Feinstein was sure to get flak for his rigid smoked salmon ways at his 100th birthday celebration on Wednesday, when he received recognition from the center as well as a roast from his friends.

Feinstein was born on Nov. 30, 2016, in Brooklyn, where he grew up playing

football at public schools.

“In high school my parents put a stop to the football playing and I had to go into the family business to help out,” he said.

That business was a manufacturing company that sold lighting, lamps and imported gifts to stores like Lord & Taylor and Macy’s.

When he graduated from high school, Feinstein set off for New York University, where he studied business and economics and took a special interest in foreign relations.

The latter knowledge would prove relevant a few years later when Feinstein was drafted and sent to Europe to fight in World War

II, where he spent two years with artillery units in England, France, Belgium, Holland and Germany.

“I told the others where to place the guns,” he said. “I went up as far as I could in a church steeple or on high ground to see where enemy guns were firing at us from.

After directing our guns, I got out of the way because I could always become an object of enemy fire.”

After returning from the war, Feinstein went back to work with his father at the light manufacturing company, where he spent the remainder of his career.

While at a friend’s wedding in 1954, Feinstein met a woman 10 years his ju-

Bernie Feinstein, who enjoyed his 100th birthday ceremony at the Sid Jacobson Jewish Community Center in East Hills on Wednesday. nior named Charlotte. Only months later, she became his wife. They remain married to this day.

“She has brought up our four beautiful children and

taken care of her nutty husband,” he said.

Soon after their marriage, the couple moved to a home in Flower Hill, where they lived for 53 years.

“We added room after room after bathroom after bathroom in order to stay because the neighbors and the neighborhood were wonderful,” he said.

They have since moved to the North Shore Towers, a gated community in Floral Park.

Almost two decades ago Feinstein joined the Jewish Community Center to use its exercise facilities. He soon became a fixture of the community, becoming a founding member of its Gezunter club for senior men and earning

the nickname “Bagel Bernie.”

“I found a lovely group of people,“ he said. “The JCC added new life to me; without it, I don’t think I would’ve reached a hundred.”

At his birthday party Feinstein was set to receive citations from Nassau County Legislators Delia DeRiggiWhitton and Donald MacKenzie as well as New York State Assemblyman Charles Lavine.

“The event is wonderful and it’s driving me crazy,” he said.

“It’s wonderful seeing all these great people that I’ve associated with but it’s just a little overwhelming. 100th birthday parties should be reserved for people in their 30’s, 40’s, and 50’s.”

$2B cost seen for third track project Continued from Page 1 posed in January 2016, was initially expected to cost $1 billion, and later on $1.5 billion.

A more precise time period for completion will be determined after a “competitively bid contract” is awarded to a contractor, according to the study, but work at any specific location will not take longer than two years.

The project calls for 2,257 additional parking spaces in New Hyde Park, Mineola, Westbury and Hicksville.

In New Hyde Park, the MTA will add 95 parking spaces, while 1,133 parking spaces would be added to two parking garages on Second Street and Mineola Boulevard that currently offer 115 spaces and 120 spaces, respectively.

The New Hyde Park, Merillon Avenue, Mineola, Carle Place and Westbury LIRR stations will also see improvements, which include platforms to accommodate 12-car trains, pedestrian overpasses and underpasses to connect eastbound and westbound platforms, heated platforms and ADA-compliant ramps.

According to the study, noise pollution would be mitigated by “sound alienation walls” and the elimination of seven street-level railroad crossings, five of which are in New Hyde Park and Mineola.

Businesses would not be affected by the project, and it is estimated to generate approximately $3.18 billion for Nassau County and approximately $3.33 billion for the New York State economy overall, according to the study.

“Governor Cuomo challenged us to undertake a project to transform the LIRR experience for both passengers and local communities, and to do so with an unprecedented level of community consultation and outreach – and that’s exactly what we’re doing now,” MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast said in a statement. “We have gone to extraordinary lengths to listen to what the public wants out of this project. We will continue to study the impacts of this proposal and take input from all stakeholders, including our neighbors along the tracks and Main Line customers from across Long Island and New York City.”

Although the LIRR will continue its outreach efforts through public meetings, community consulting, keeping elected officials and stakeholders updated on new information and public comments, some local elected officials said they took issue with the time period they were given to respond to the study. The deadline for comment is Jan. 31.

“The consultants for the LIRR had six months to prepare the document but we, the public, are now given only six weeks to review the material and provide comment,” said Robert Lofaro, mayor of the Village of New Hyde, who has been critical of the plan since it was proposed. “Once again, the governor, the MTA and the LIRR are trying to limit the

voices of the people who will be most affected by this project.”

Mayor Thomas Tweedy of the Village of Floral Park said he was concerned with the speed at which the project was progressing and the limited time given to the public to examine the 21-chapter study.

Tweedy said he felt the cost and time period for construction given was not realistic or reliable given the MTA’s “track record” with projects such as East Side Access, which is extending LIRR service to Grand Central Terminal, taking longer and costing more than originally anticipated.

“It just seems from the standpoint of manpower and the ability to work, it’s an awful lot of work to get done in four years,” he said. “Rather than race through it, let’s make sure we have good planning.”

According to Cuomo’s office, the governor directed construction for the project to use the “design-build” contracting technique, which gives oversight to private construction firms. The method, his office said, “puts the responsibility to both design and build a project on a single firm, capitalizing on private sector construction expertise and innovation and incentivizing a firm’s success at reducing construction length, cost and impacts.”

Tweedy admitted that the third track “might be beneficial” but since the LIRR has other projects it is working on, another one would “exacerbate the problem.”

He said if things don’t go according to plan, Floral Park will have to deal with the consequences.

“We’re not afraid of progress but unexamined progress is a recipe for disaster,” Tweedy said. “If they have a threeyear mistake in Floral Park, what does that do to our business community? It just completely changes the business community, which is the backbone of your community.”

He said the project provides no benefits to Floral Park, and when he spoke with MTA officials he was told there was “no hope” for improvements in the village.

“Floral Park is bearing all of the burden, but getting none of the benefit,” Tweedy said.

“Many elements of this project like sound attenuation walls, station improvements and construction planning are the direct result of extensive input from local officials and community members along the project corridor,” said Shams Tarek, a project spokesman. “Mayor Tweedy has made it clear that he opposes the project and the resulting benefits in any form and doesn’t want to influence the design. In fact in this very newspaper he said, ‘it’s their plan to design, it’s their plan to disclose, not mine to develop.’”

“Fortunately, we have heard from the people of Floral Park directly and as a result, this project will include numerous benefits including sound attenuation walls for Floral Park

residents and ways to minimize impacts around schools,” Tarek added. “As promised, this project requires no residential property taking, and any Floral Park resident who uses the LIRR will benefit from more reliable service. We will continue to work with the public to make this the best project it can be.”

Both Lofaro and Tweedy said there should be oversight of the project by either an independent or federal entity.

“It should also be noted again that the entity that has ultimate oversight and approval of the [Draft Environmental Impact Statement] is the LIRR,” Lofaro said. “How’s that for controlling your own destiny?”

There are both federal and state requirements regarding construction safety and regulations, and the state Department of Transportation will be overseeing the elimination of the grade crossings.

Efforts to reach the Village of Mineola mayor, Scott Strauss, for comment were unavailing.

While some remained critical of the project, others expressed support after the environmental study.

The Right Track for Long Island Coalition, a group of 172 corporations, labor unions, nonprofit groups and individuals supporting the project, commended Cuomo and the MTA for their efforts.

“After reviewing the DEIS, it is clear that the transformative impact of this project will extend from every Long Island home to every business,” said Dave Kapell, executive director of Right Track for Long Island Coalition. “Thanks to the unprecedented outreach efforts of the MTA and the Governor’s office, as well as the foresight and vision of some of our local elected officials, we have seen this project turn into a true win for all Long Islanders.”

Although the project will avoid taking any residential property, the MTA will need to acquire four full commercial properties and 10 partial commercial or industrial properties, according to the study.

In total, 2,130 jobs will be created as a result of the project, the study said, 1,297 of which are full-time equivalent construction jobs, as well as 762 off-site Nassau County jobs, 24 off-site Suffolk County jobs and 33 New York State jobs.

There will be six meetings for public comment from Jan. 17 to 19.

Two will take place on Jan. 17 at the Yes We Can Community Center in Westbury. The first meeting runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the second begins at 6 p.m. and ends at 9 p.m.

On Jan. 18, there will be two meetings at the David S. Mack Student Center at Hofstra University. The first meeting

Business&RealEstate In the middle of a perfect storm?

The election for now is over, but interest rates dipped before the election, due to uncertainty and many put their dollars in the safe bond market, causing rates to go down.

Now, rates have gone up a bit, with that normal fear of an increased economy and the flight to stocks as you can see that they are at an all time high of 19,000 plus.

Many people for now are feeling much better, and some are not.

The big question is whether or not the election and/or the Electoral College votes were fixed (as Trump previously was saying, if he lost, “the system was fixed.”); even though Hillary Clinton was ahead by 2 millionplus popular votes.

Will the Electoral College for the last 100-plus years be changed or doomed in the near future? Stick around and we shall see.

How will real estate be affected over the next four years?

My thoughts are that if things continue to bode well — huge demand, 15-year low in inventory, 40-year low in interest rates and more and more millennials entering the market to

purchase — I do not see an end in sight; especially since builders throughout the country are still way behind in catching up to the current and future demand, because they literally stopped construction over the last three to five years and only the last year and half have come back to play “catch up baseball.”

Based on the demand it will take possibly 10-plus years to build the necessary housing to satisfy the current demand.

Inventory based on Multiple Listing Service of Long Island statistics for October 2015 was 25,623 properties down to 21,721 units at the end of October 2016, a reduction of 15.2 percent (only 6.7 months of inventory!) (down 32.5 percent since 2014) The impact has been to increase sale prices by 8.8 percent during the same period.

The pressure on prices goes up as inventory decreases, basic supply and demand economics.

We are still at an historic low for interest rates as was mentioned earlier.

However, as the rates have now increased a bit since the election, due to money moving out of the Mortgage Bond Mar-

PHILIP A. RAICES Real Estate Watch ket and back to the stock market, rates had to increase to attract more investors who demanded more value. Return on investment, therefore equaling higher rates.

This might be eliminating some who were border line purchasers due to the increased monthly cost of their mortgage, (principle, interest and taxes, insurance: P.I.T.I.).

Moreover, as interest rates further increase, psychology sets in with those who become afraid or those who wait and figure prices will come down, as demand cools off.

Waiting will usually cost

more because of the cost of money. It is far smarter to buy the interest rates than to wait for the drop in prices, because the monthly cost of one’s mortgage would still be less than sitting on the sidelines for a lower price point, over the long run.

Unless rates go up to 7-9 percent (6 percent has been the average normal interest rate in the past), ownership will still be, for the very foreseeable future more advantageous and cost effective and less expensive than renting.

Remember being your own landlord allows you to receive all the tax deductions, appreciation and security of growing roots within your community and raising a family without the fear of increased rents (fixed rate mortgage), the landlord not renewing your lease (you have the comfort of not being told that you have to move, eliminating the uncertainty factor).

The increased equity for an owner over the years, is the single best leverage for increasing a family’s long term wealth and generally where most have their equity and wealth in homeownership.

I can see that our economy is surely not overheating, by any

stretch of the imagination and the profitability of companies has been more in the mass layoffs and getting more work accomplished with less people.

My wife got laid off in July, after 28 years with her company, because they wanted to save money, and most likely getting the current crew to do her graphic arts and production responsibilities, that she had been in charge of. (Any company need a fantastic graphic artist?)

Although the initial shock was sudden and by surprise, her severance package was much more than most receive and her pension that she took with her was okay.

But this has happened to millions over the last eight years, however, unemployment has been coming down to less than 5 percent.

This has mainly been due to service sector jobs, which do not pay a sufficient wage to make it very feasible for those to gain the “American Dream of Ownership.”

Even locally I have experienced a multitude of people and families, who have to take on two or three jobs to live on Long Island.

I know and have the simple solution, as I have mentioned in an article I wrote five years ago in a blog on the internet.

Begin rebuilding our infrastructure of roads, bridges, tunnels and high speed passenger and commercial rail in the north, south, central U.S. And west.

These types of highly skilled positions, paying $50-100-plus per hour, will allow those to save and eventually purchase their home.

This will obviously increase demand further, but continue to allow the construction industry to do well far into the future.

I hope Mr. Trump will accomplish this one task in the next four years, more high paying jobs!

Currently, the average price of a home in the U.S. as per Realtor.Com and The National Association of Realtors has gone above $250,000 (obviously not related to our local values, by any stretch of the imagination).

I guess for me, without my wife’s income, I will have to find more sellers to sell their homes, condos, coops and commercial properties for and purchasers to do transactions with.

How state legislators in the majority Continued from Page 1 parks.

Local officials have praised lawmakers for obtaining the grants, saying they provide funding for needed projects for which small municipalities could not otherwise pay.

“Communities rightfully expect their legislators to fight for them and bring home as much state aid as possible, because every additional dollar in aid from Albany is one that doesn’t have to be raised locally,” Chris Schneider, a spokesman for state Sen. Jack Martins (R-Old Westbury), wrote in an email.

But government watchdogs say the grants come from opaque piles of money that are subject to political forces and that lack clear criteria for who can and should receive them.

That means they pose a financial risk to the state, according to state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli.

“At the end of the day we shouldn’t be doing any of them,” said E.J. McMahon, executive director of the Empire Center for Public Policy, a conservative think tank.

“This is not core state priorities. This is political pork.”

North Shore legislators and their aides said the majority leader of each chamber — Democrat Carl Heastie in the Assembly and Republican John Flanagan in the Senate — primarily decide who gets grant money to award and how much.

Documents indicate a major partisan imbalance.

Republican senators and Democrats who vote and caucus with them awarded nearly $84.5 million worth of State and Municipal Facilities Program, or SAM, grants between early 2014 and October 2015, according to a list the Senate published last year.

Democrats who are not part of the breakaway Independent Democratic Conference — aside from Simcha Felder of Brooklyn, who votes with Republicans — got none to award, according to the list.

Assembly Democrats gave more than $104.2 million in SAM grants in 2015, according to a list the Assembly published last year.

Republicans got a total of $3.6 million.

State Assemblyman Fred Thiele, an Independent, awarded more than $1.3 million.

North Shore Democratic Assembly members Charles Lavine, Michelle Schimel and Michaelle Solages awarded 39 community project grants worth $225,000 this year, according to an Assembly list published in October.

State Assemblyman Ed Ra, along with the rest of his Republican colleagues, got no money to award this year, according to the list.

“I think this plays into all of the concerns that it would talk about with ethics in the Legislature and everything,” Ra said in an interview. “Having the resources, the control, that much at the top is just another thing that the top leadership has to hang over the heads of the rank and file.”

The Senate and Assembly publish some lists of awarded grants on their websites, but spokespeople for both chambers did not respond to emails seeking detailed information about how money is allocated

among legislators and the processes for determining who receives grants.

The process for receiving grants is straightforward, according to interviews with state and village officials — municipalities or community organizations send lawmakers a letter saying what they want to do and how much money they need to do it, and the legislator decides who gets funding.

That concerns DiNapoli and officials in his office.

In a May comptroller’s report titled “Unfinished Business: Fiscal Reform in New York State,” DiNapoli proposes more strictly regulating lump-sum budget appropriations like those used to fund the grant programs.

“Details on expenditures – purposes, recipients and other key factors – remain largely outside the State accounting system,” DiNapoli’s report says, specifically referring to the State and Municipal Facilities Program. “... As a result, it is difficult for the public to be assured that the funds are being put to good use in a cost-efficient and effective manner.”

Where oversight is arguably lacking before grants are awarded, it is very much present afterward, state and local officials said.

It takes an average of a year for grant money to be disbursed once allocated as the applications are reviewed by state agencies and the Legislature, said Tara Butler, Lavine’s chief of staff.

Municipalities receive capital grant money as a reimbursement after performing the designated work.

“Whether it’s $500,000 or $5,000, it takes a really long time,” Butler said.

Their partisan aspects may not be pretty, but ultimately the grant programs help North Shore communities and are run in the best way possible, Lavine said.

“If we view this process cynically, which is easy to do, it’s simple to do, then we play a role in undermining democracy, because majority rule is what counts in our families, it counts in our communities, and it has to count in our government,” he said.

“There’s no other way to do it.”

A spokesman for the GOP Senate majority did not respond to requests for comment.

Schimel referred two requests for information about grants to the Assembly press office, which did not respond to repeated requests for information over several weeks.

A representative for Solages did not respond to a request to schedule an interview

with her staff member who handles grants.

The office did send a list of grants Solages awarded in the last fiscal year.

THREE PRIMARY PROGRAMS The State and Municipal Facilities Program is the largest initiative through which North Shore communities receive state grants.

The state has allocated $385 million to the program each year for four years.

Municipalities and other publicly financed bodies can request funding for brick-andmortar building projects, certain vehicles or economic development projects, according to state budget documents.

Most grants are administered through the state Dormitory Authority, which borrows the money to fund the program.

From February 2014 to late 2015, North Shore municipalities were nominated for 55 SAM grants worth a total of $6.3 million, according to lists published in 2015. The Dormitory Authority reviewed 10 of them as of Oct. 20.

Thirty-nine came from Martins; two from ex-Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos (awarded to Nassau County), a Republican convicted last year on corruption charges; three from Schimel; five from Lavine (D-Glen Cove); and one from Ra (R-Franklin Square).

The grants have funded large capital projects, such as the $250,000 renovation of the Village of Williston Park’s firehouse and road repaving in the Village of Thomaston, as well as purchases of new vehicles.

Fifteen were designated for improvements at local parks.

New money has not been appropriated since 2010 for the Community Projects Fund, which provides smaller grants known as “member items” to municipalities and non-profits.

But some money is reappropriated and distributed to legislators each year.

Three North Shore Assembly members — Lavine, Schimel and Solages, all Democrats — awarded 39 grants worth $225,000 this year using money appropriated between 2001 and 2005, according to an Assembly list published in September.

They went mostly to nonprofit groups, including the Great Neck Breast Cancer Coalition and Roslyn-based North Shore Child and Family Guidance Center, to support social programs and other services.

The amount of money allocated to that program has decreased tremendously since scandals involving the misuse of member item grants, state lawmakers said.

Under the old system, member items could be awarded to almost any organization for almost any purpose with little oversight. That led to several scandals in the Legislature.

In perhaps the most prominent, former Senate Majority Leader Pedro Espada, a Democrat, was convicted on corruption charges in 2012 for funneling member item money to nonprofit groups he controlled.

In the 2009-10 fiscal year, Senate Democrats, who then controlled the chamber, awarded more than 2,700 grants totaling more than $64.1 million.

Senate Republicans awarded fewer than 1,000 grants totaling more than $8.2 million.

More recent information on Senate member item grants, which are now controlled by Republicans, could not be found on the Senate website.

Dozens of so-called “bullet aid” grants also give school districts and local libraries money on top of their annual state aid packages.

The Assembly approved $14 million and the Senate approved $15 million in such grants in 2015.

Lawmakers negotiate the lists of recipients in budget deals each year, Ra and Butler said.

Fifteen bullet aid grants totaling $355,000 went to North Shore schools, libraries and other publicly funded organizations last year.

A POLITICAL ‘HONEY POT’ The Senate and Assembly majority leaders determine who gets grant money and how much — and members of the controlling party get more to dole out than the minority.

Once lawmakers get the money, they ask municipalities and community groups to send written requests for grants, legislators and their aides said. They then review them and decide which projects to fund.

Spokespeople for both chambers did not respond to emails asking how grant funds are distributed among legislators.

Ra said Assembly Republicans received SAM grant money for the first time last year, the first under Democratic Speaker Carl Heastie.

Heastie’s predecessor, Manhattan Democrat Sheldon Silver, was convicted on corruption charges last year.

Ra was given one $100,000 capital grant to award and received $25,000 in community projects money last year, he said.

By contrast, Lavine got $157,500 for the last fiscal year, according to a list Butler provided.

Ra has not received any bullet aid grants since taking office in 2010, he said.

Asked how they are distributed, he said, “I couldn’t even guess.”

“It shouldn’t be, ‘we’re pulling out however many billion dollars for this program and you’re really going to have to peek around to find out where it’s going,’” Ra said. “It shouldn’t be that way.”

hand out millions for local projects Continued from Page 74 Robert Lofaro said.

The village got $200,000 in SAM grant funds to renovate basketball and tennis courts and make other fixes at its Memorial Park in 2015.

But McMahon, head of the Empire Center, said grant programs, especially SAM, are a “honey pot” of political porkbarrel spending that lacks transparency and uses tax dollars from across the state to fund projects that have only local impacts.

“Why in the world is it at any time a priority for the state to put a scoreboard in the village of blank’s Little League field, or to build somebody’s firehouse?” he said.

“There’s a lot of these projects in here.

Build your own firehouse.”

The lack of clear criteria and oversight for the programs puts them at greater risk for waste, fraud and abuse, officials in DiNapoli’s office said.

The lump sums that fund them should therefore be allocated in a “competitive process with clear, measurable, public and objective criteria defined in statute or by regulation,” DiNapoli’s report on fiscal reform says.

OVERSIGHT AFTER THE FACT Grants to municipalities and nonprofit groups go through a lengthy vetting processes after the grants are awarded that often take at least a year.

two years after Martins awarded the first $50,000 grant, and about a year after the project was finished.

The village paid $61,000 out of its coffers for the project.

Robert Lofaro, the village mayor, said the lengthy review was at times frustrating, but he thinks oversight is important to ensuring grant programs are not abused or awarded to politically connected groups.

“Whichever way the discretionary monies work and so on, my concern is that the end result is benefiting somebody, truly,” Lofaro said. “And we feel the money we PHOTOS FROM THE VILLAGE OF NEW HYDE PARK had received, people in the state, people in village should feel that we’ve done the Two state grants totaling $200,000 helped pay for renovations at the Village the right thing with the money that was discreof New Hyde Park’s Memorial Park. tionary that was awarded to us.”

Peirez, a 28-year firstgrade teacher at Lakeville Elementary School who retired in June, said what makes her different from the other candidates is her knowledge of what goes on inside the classroom.

“I think the main thing ... is my experience from working in the classroom with the children,” she said. “That one extra piece is my knowledge of the intricate workings of the district.”

Before teaching in the district, Peirez said, she was very involved in the district by serving on the Parent Teacher Associations of the former Kens-

ington-Johnson Elementary School, E.M. Baker Elementary School, North Middle School and North High School.

She said that she is a “consensus builder” and that one of her biggest achievements was when Kensington-Johnson closed around 1980 and she helped facilitate the move of students to E.M. Baker.

Peirez, who also taught at the Great Neck Community School, a cooperative nursery school, for 11 years, said her expertise on what works best in the classroom would be an asset to the board.

“I feel that I can bring a current knowledge of curriculum that is successful and some that is not,” she said. “Everybody has great ideas about what they want in the budget, but what really affects the teaching in the district, the students, facilities, technology? What are we bringing that’s meaningful and what isn’t?”

Peirez said that in ad-

dition to maintaining the district’s high academic standards, she wanted to see increased efforts in developing students’ social skills and understanding of other cultures.

Kron, who was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, and moved to Great Neck with his wife in 1999, worked as a strategy consultant for Ernst & Young and Cap Gemini S.A., advising health-care, pharmaceutical, energy and consumer clients on how to best take advantage of new technologies.

He decided to run for the Great Neck Board of Education, he said, because he felt it was time to “bring new blood to the board.”

Kron said he wanted to bring his business and entrepreneurial experience to the board.

“I have a strong experience in understanding new technologies and techniques from the business world and academic research world and wanted to share that with the board,” he said.

“It is already an amazing school district but it needs the newest ideas to continue to grow into the 21st century needs of our children.”

Kron said that higher education is one way for students to progress after high school, but it is not the only path.

He added that getting students prepared for the next level of their lives is important and that he would work to make them aware of all the options available.

“What I want people to do is to think carefully about the election, about the right mix of skills and experience on the board,” Kron said. “I think that I fit nicely in the middle of the right age demographic with a vested interest because of my children in the school system and a strong understanding of how the real world works and keeping abreast with the latest technologies and techniques.”

Schwartz, a former United Parent-Teacher Council president, said

that it was important to have a member on the board with children in the district.

Starting with volunteering at the Great Neck Community School, she said, she went on to serve on various boards and committees for the schools her children attended: Saddle Rock Elementary School, John F. Kennedy Elementary School, Great Neck North Middle School and Great Neck North High School.

Schwartz said she was elected to be a delegate to the UPTC and served as co-chair of the Health Education Committee.

From 2012 to 2014, she served as UPTC president and served for a year on the board after her presidency as a memberat-large.

Schwartz currently serves as chair of the Total Community Involvement Committee and PTO copresident at North Middle School.

She said that her “motivating factor” to get involved in the school sys-

tem was for more parental input and that one of her goals is to get more involvement from parents in the district.

Schwartz said that through her community involvement, she has been able to meet people of different cultures and ethnicities and worked to “build bridges” connecting different groups.

“I think I have a depth and breadth of understanding of the programs that the schools offer and the understanding of love for your teachers, love for your schools, wanting to support them in the deepest of ways,” she said.

“And also trying to look to the future to make sure you protect that for the future.”

Efforts to reach Toumbekis for comment were unavailing.

Sports LIU Post falls in 1st round of tourney

BY M I C H A E L OTERO Coming off of a thrilling 48-41 victory against WinstonSalem State University in the first round of the NCAA Division II Tournament, the LIU Post football team faced their toughest test this season and suffered a 40-21 loss at the hands of Shepherd University on Saturday, Nov. 26, at Bethpage Federal Credit Union Stadium in Brookville.

The Pioneers’ loss is the team’s first of the season, rounding out a historic campaign with a 12-1 record.

The 12 wins are a program record, as are the two playoff games.

With the win, the Rams from Shepherd University move on to face California University of Pennsylvania in the quarterfinals.

In the game, the Pioneers were dealt a blow early when the Rams marched down the field on their opening possession and scored a touchdown.

Their drive went for six plays and 63 yards and finished with a 31-yard scamper by freshman halfback Brandon Hlavach.

On their ensuing drive, the Pioneers attempted to answer that score with one of their own, but a costly turnover in the redzone kept the Pioneers off the scoreboard.

After the defense forced a punt, the Pioneer offense made

Shepherd Univ. 40 LIU Post 21 sure to get in the end zone, with a one-yard run by red-shirt sophomore running back Malik Pierre to even the score at seven apiece.

The score stood at 7-7 until the end of the first quarter, but the Rams unleashed a 19-point unanswered outburst to take a commanding 26-7 lead into halftime.

Senior quarterback Jeff Ziemba tossed all three touchdowns, two to senior 6”4’ pass

catcher Billy Brown and one to senior receiver CJ Davis — the last score coming just 23 seconds before halftime.

The Pioneers fought valiantly until the end, cutting the deficit to 12 twice during the second half, but the Ram offense was in rhythm and could not be stopped.

They scored in response to Pioneer touchdowns twice and capped off the win with Brown’s third receiving touchdown of the day with 4:27 left in the game.

Senior LIU Post quarterback Jeff Kidd went 25-for-43 through the air for 288 yards and a touchdown and was also sacked four times.

His counterpart, Ziemba, threw for 375 yards and four scores.

The Pioneer running game, which played a huge part in their win against Winston-Salem, was held to under 100 yards, but scored two touchdowns.

In the receiving department, Brown stole the show for the Rams, totaling 11 catches for 189 yards and three touchdowns.

Kidd’s favorite target, redshirt senior wide out Shane Hubbard, finished with 10 catches and 155 yards.

Defensively, senior linebacker Nate Feliz had a game-high 10 tackles and a sack.

Red-shirt junior defensive lineman Anthony DeNunzio had nine tackles to go along with a sack and pass break up, while freshman defensive back Joshua Flowers made nine tackles and two pass break ups.

Herricks athletes excel in the fall Girls swim team wins conference title, 4 football players win post-season awards The Herricks Public Schools’ Athletics Department ended its fall season with a number of victories and outstanding displays of sportsmanship.

The girls swim and football teams earned spotlight for both individual and team victories.

The girls swim team was crowned Conference IV Champions after completing an undefeated season with a record of 8-0.

The team competed in three relays at the Nassau County Girls Swimming Championships, and Katherine Hong additionally competed in the 100 Backstroke.

Head Coach Sara Bove expressed pride in the team members for their hard work and dedication.

The football team enjoyed a banner season with a total of four wins, the most it has had since 1995 — and finished with a 4-4

record — just one spot below the playoffs cut. The preseason ninth seed is the highest seed since 1996, and the wins were against the seventh, eighth, no. 12 and no. 14 seeds.

Football players also secured four post-season awards.

Michael Saleme earned All-County status, Michael Scaldaferri was named All-County Honorable Mention, Michael Chase received recognition as a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete and Nicholas Gounaris was presented with the Long Island Association of Football Officials’ Unsung Hero Award.

“The athletes and coaches worked diligently during their off-season, which in turn produced positive results,” Director of Athletics, Physical Education and Health Education Jim Petricca said.
