Visit TapIntoNorthSalem.net for the latest news. BY CAROL REIF STAFF WRITER North Salem Town Board hopefuls last week talked about everything from traffic issues and lighting codes to party politics and emergency services. But the one topic that seemed to generate the most heat was related to local efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Taking part in the League of Women Voters-sponsored forum at the Ruth Keeler Memorial Library Wednesday night were newcomer Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda, and incumbent councilpersons Brent Golisano and Katherine Daniels. The three are running for two open council seats. Almeyda and Golisano are both running on the Republican and the Conservative lines; Daniels is running as a Democrat and as a member of the Balanced Rock Party. Running unopposed for reelection are Town Supervisor Warren Lucas, Town Clerk Maria Hlushko, and Town Justices Daniel Seymour and John Aronian IV. LWV moderator John Hessel opened the 90-minute forum by asking candidates to describe the current state of the town. While all agreed that it was doing well, they also pointed to ongoing things that need attention such as safe drinking water, stormwater runoff, flooding, affordable housing, and traffic safety. “This past storm really showed up the current weaknesses of the system,” he said referring to flooding that happened last month after the remains of Tropical Storm Ophelia slammed the region. Other things on Golisano’s mind: Croton Fall’s future and improvements at Joe Bohrdrum Park. Among Daniels’s top priorities are preserving North Salem’s “rural character,” planning for dealing with “aging infrastructure,” adjusting to climate change, and bolstering emergency services. There also have to be ways of making living in the town more affordable, but increasing density is not one of them, Daniels insisted. Speeding is a “big issue,” said Almeyda, who noted that the town has “little control” over state and county roads such as Route 121 and Route. A trustee with the North Salem Open Lands Foundation, she is also concerned about a proposal to site a cell tower off June Road because of its potential impact on nearby Baxter Preserve. Almeyda thinks the town should sit tight because small cell technology, in which radio equipment and antennas are placed on utility poles or buildings, is on its way and 140-foot towers won’t necessarily be needed. She also said Croton Falls needs sewers. HOT SPOT The town is exploring the possibility of replacing some of its smaller fossil fueled vehicles with electric ones. It also recently learned it’s in line for state grants for energy efficiency projects and already plans to install EV chargers in several places. Almeyda, who had introduced herself as a fiscal conservative, opined that changing to an allelectric vehicle fleet would be too costly and is not likely to “help the world.” “If there was a way for the town to save money, then I would be for it,” she added. Golisano called electric vehicles more of a “need than a want.” He was not in favor of overhauling the entire fleet because as things stand right now it “would be like putting all eggs in one basket.” “The technology is too new. It needs more vetting,” Golisano said. Daniels helped form and lead a committee devoted to addressing climate change through public education and other means, such as improving energy efficiency townwide. Allowing that electrification wouldn’t work for heavy equipment such as garbage trucks and Addressing the issues Town Board candidates speak out Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda, Brent Golisano and Katherine Daniels PHOTO: CAROL REIF SEE FORUM PAGE 4 Fall Art Classes Next Session: Oct. 29th New workshops for adults and kids!

Thursday, October 12, 2023 North Salem News – Page 3 On Oct. 1, members of the Croton Falls Fire Department hosted an open house at the CFFD fire house on Sun Valley Drive. The afternoon allowed the community to meet with our first responders, test their skills at different firefighting tasks, and take part in CPR training, pumpkin painting, and fire truck rides. The day also saw a special appearance by Nico, the horse who was rescued from a muddy predicament by members of the CFFD earlier this year!

backhoes, she said it would for smaller vehicles such as police cars. Joking that first “we’d have to convince the police chief to switch to a Ford Mustang Mach-E SUV,” Daniels said the “idea is to save money AND reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This can be done over time with proper planning, she said, promising: “We’re not just going to replace all the vehicles willynilly. No, we do it smartly.” Almeyda used her rebuttal time by quoting from a New York Times article on minerals such as manganese, cobalt, and lithium that are needed to make EV batteries. “Mostly they come from China,” she said. POLITICAL STRATEGIES Resident Robert Kotch asked the candidates for their take on so-called “bullet voting.” According to one definition, the tactic is usually deployed in multiple-winner elections. The voter is entitled to vote for more than one candidate, but instead votes for only one. In North Salem’s case, there are three candidates – two Republicans and one Democrat -- for two seats on the Town Board. The top two vote-getters win. The ballot indicates that folks can vote for “up to two” candidates; it doesn’t say vote for two candidates. To Golisano, it’s a waste of a vote. “You have the option to vote twice, so you should vote twice,” he said. “If you only want to do one, that’s up to you, but I don’t think it’s a good procedure.” Daniels took the opposite stance. To her, bullet voting is a way of “focusing your voting power on your favorite candidate.” “I think it’s smart. It’s NOT anti-Democratic. If you feel strongly about one candidate, don’t dilute your vote,” Daniels said, adding, “It’s simple. It’s nothing new.” Agreeing with Golisano, Almeyda reminded voters of their “civic duty.” “You have two votes and you should use them,” she said. SAFETY FIRST Resident Nancy Stamm asked the candidates how they would support local first responders. Pointing out that she’s an EMT with the North Salem Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Daniels responded that as a Town Board member, she listens carefully to their needs. “I do my homework and try to be as supportive and as smart as I can,” she said. Almeyda agreed that safety is a “basic need” and that the town should encourage more people to volunteer and also to be aware of issues such as access to certain spaces. She recalled that a friend had once broken a leg at Baxter Preserve and the ambulance crews had a hard time reaching the scene because they didn’t have the code to a locked gate. Pointing out that the current crop of first responders are aging out, Golisano put out a call for “younger” volunteers as well. North Salem is part of an eight-town consortium that contracts for Advanced Life Support services with the nonprofit Westchester Emergency Services. WEMS currently has three paramedics staffing “fly cars,” and is suggesting that the consortium approves the hiring of a fourth due to a major increase in call volume. NSVAC Captain Kurt Guldan supports the proposal and the three candidates agree it’s needed. Golisano suggested Wednesday that the NSVAC, which is privately owned, become a municipal operation. However, that would be “very expensive,” he said. SHINING A LIGHT In view of the fact that the town is considering amending its lighting code for private residences, candidates were asked to expound on the meaning of “dark sky compliance.” “It’s trying to get artificial light under control. Fixtures have to face downwards,” Golisano said, noting that it helps “the environment.” The town already has dark sky rules for commercial properties and new construction. Light that strays beyond a certain point is, Daniels said, “a nuisance to neighbors, plants, and animals.” The issues of how much it’s going to cost homeowners to replace fixtures or how much time the town should give them – if it approves the new code – to comply haven’t been “resolved yet,” she said. According to Almeyda, the issue came up “because someone had a spotlight trained on his neighbor’s bedroom window.” The building inspector couldn’t do anything because it wasn’t in the code, she said, adding that the proposed change has been in front of the Town Board several times. Folks who oppose it have called it costly and hard to enforce, Almeyda said, who added that she thought there “was no reason to do it” in rural North Salem.

This is because the seats will go to the two candidates with the first and second highest votes. Voting for more than one candidate can harm your favorite candidate’s chances of winning.

Opinion Page 6 – North Salem News Thursday, October 12, 2023 Change, as they say, is the only constant. In the dynamic world of media, it’s essential to adapt, evolve and innovate to better serve our communities and partners. Today, I’m thrilled to announce an exciting evolution for our TAPinto websites. For years, our five hyper-local TAPinto websites have been the go-to online sources for community news, each focusing on its own unique town and school district. While this approach has served us well, we believe it’s time to unite these websites under a single, more expansive umbrella: Halston Media News. You can now access this consolidated platform at news.halstonmedia. com (please note, “news” is in lieu of “www”). Why the Change? Our primary motivation is you, our readers. By bringing together content from neighboring communities, we aim to offer a richer, more diverse reading experience. Imagine being able to seamlessly transition from news in your town to an interesting event in a neighboring community. This regional approach not only fosters a sense of interconnectedness, but also satiates the natural curiosity we all have about the world just beyond our doorstep. For our advertisers, this change is equally promising. A website that offers varied and engaging content naturally encourages longer visits. The more time readers spend on our site, the more visibility your advertisements receive. It’s a win-win. The Numbers Speak Over the past year, our five sites collectively garnered an impressive average of 239,911 monthly page views and attracted an average of 61,166 unique monthly visitors. We are confident that by transitioning to a regional website, these numbers will see a significant uptick. A unified platform means streamlined content, easier navigation and a broader audience reach. Welcoming The Mt. Kisco-Bedford Times Another exciting addition is the inclusion of our newest newspaper, The Mt. Kisco-Bedford Times. Since we launched The Mt. Kisco-Bedford Times in 2022, it never had a dedicated website. Now, it has a prominent section on Halston Media News. This ensures that readers of this publication aren’t left in the digital dark and can access its content alongside our other offerings. Expanding Our Horizons Our vision for Halston Media News isn’t just limited to the towns we currently cover. We aim to attract readers from periphery towns with comprehensive news about Westchester County, Putnam County and eventually even broader updates from New York State. This expanded scope ensures that whether you’re looking for local news or state-wide updates, Halston Media News is your one-stop destination. Continuing Our Partnership with TAPinto While we’re excited about this new chapter under our brand, our partnership with TAPinto remains strong. We will continue to utilize their robust platform, ensuring that our readers get a seamless and user-friendly experience, and our advertisers get the best possible exposure. TAPinto is a network of nearly 100 sites in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida with more than 20 million annual unique visitors. Nearly a decade ago, we chose to attach ourselves - digitally - to the coattails of TAPinto, and we’ve never been disappointed. They are constantly investing in new technology and new ways to attract audiences, and I believe their franchise model is far superior to some of the other regional and national community website brands. Moving forward This transition is more than just a change of name or website address. It’s a reflection of our commitment to our readers and advertisers. It’s about ensuring that every time you visit our site, you leave with more than you came for. It’s about making sure our advertisers see tangible results from their partnerships with us. And above all, it’s about staying true to our mission of delivering top-notch journalism while continuously adapting to the changing needs of our community. I invite you all to join us on this exciting journey. A new chapter for Halston Media News BRETT FREEMAN PUBLISHER’S MEMO I visited a Palestinian “refugee” camp during the spring semester of my junior year in college, back in the year 2000, when I attended Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the capital of Israel. At 20 years old, I knew very little about the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict, but as a young Jewish American with liberal sensitivities, I wanted to keep an open mind. That was a good thing, as I was able to observe Middle Eastern society without any sort of preconceived notions, much like an anthropologist. During the semester, I also spent time visiting Egypt, Turkey and Jordan. The accusation that Israel is an apartheid state is false. While the Jewish population itself is incredibly diverse, including Jews from Ethiopia, there are also Muslim and Christian Arabs with Israeli citizenship, many of whom are proud Israelis and even serve in the Israeli government. Just like America, it’s an imperfect society, filled with infighting and division. But that’s I stand with Israel and I’m angry Sadly, prepare for American equivocation in the coming days BRETT FREEMAN PUBLISHER’S MEMO SEE FREEMAN PAGE 7
Thursday, October 12, 2023 OPINION North Salem News – Page 7 also what makes it an advanced democracy; infighting exists because it’s permitted. Many Americans may not understand this, but the Palestinians don’t live in Israel. They live in their own country, which has limited sovereignty due to the ongoing conflict. The Palestinian Authority is the governing authority in the West Bank and Hamas is the governing authority in the Gaza Strip. When I visited the “refugee” camp in the Gaza Strip, I of course had compassion for the families that I met, as they were living in squalor. But I didn’t quite understand why there were some Palestinians living in luxury while there were other Palestinians who were refugees inside their own territory. I learned that these Palestinian “refugees” were descendants of Arabs who lived in Israeli territory before Israel’s war for independence in 1948. In the Israeli Declaration of Independence signed on May 14, 1948, the authors called for “the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions.” There were about 160,000 Arab-Israelis who stayed, while Israel was attacked on all sides by its Arab neighbors. But anywhere from 472,000 to 650,000 Arabs fled their homes at the urging of the invading Arab militaries. The Arabs who fled their homes — the so-called “refugees,” — now live in Gaza, the West Bank and in neighboring Arab countries. It’s unclear how a refugee status can continue to exist for 75 years. In the years following Israel’s independence through 1972, neighboring Arab countries expelled 820,000 Jews, whose families also lived in the Middle East for centuries. You don’t hear of Jewish “refugees” because the Jewish immigrants from Arab countries, who were forced to flee their homes, were welcomed with open arms as they resettled in Israel as full citizens. This also shows that the notion that Israel consists of a bunch of white European colonists is false. There has been an uninterrupted Jewish presence in the Middle East since the days of the Old Testament, including in what is modernday Israel. Unfortunately, Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, both undemocratic, corrupt organizations, have tragically used the “refugees” as political pawns and human shields since 1948. The “refugees” will continue to exist until Israel is conquered. My semester in Israel immediately preceded the Second Intifada, and tension was in the air. When I returned home to the States following my semester, the Second Intifada erupted soon thereafter, and many of the places I had frequented had been bombed. I ate almost daily in the cafeteria at Hebrew University, which was bombed by Hamas on July 31, 2002, killing nine people, including five American students. I had been to the Sbarro Pizzeria, which was blown up by a suicide bomber, who killed 16 people, including several children and a pregnant woman. Israel’s tourism minister was assassinated by terrorists at the hotel across the street from my dormitory. In the ensuing years, several Israeli prime ministers have made untold concessions, pretty much offering a sovereign state to the Palestinians, who have rejected the offer every time. Why? Because the one thing Israel won’t concede is its own annihilation. Last summer, my parents took my daughter to Israel, where she met several second and third cousins. I write this column one day after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, and I’m sad and angry. I sit here writing this with tears welling up in my eyes, hoping our cousins are safe, but also wrapping my head around the fact that these Hamas terrorists wouldn’t have hesitated to pull the trigger and murder my then 13-yearold daughter. I take zero solace in President Biden’s solid statement in support of Israel last Saturday, as future events are all quite predictable. In the coming days, possibly by the time this newspaper hits mailboxes, the administration will start to equivocate as they see the bodies of Palestinian human shields paraded through the streets of Gaza. Emotions will take over as our short attention spans and most Americans’ total lack of historical knowledge will begin to dictate our response. We’ll start hearing administration officials call for the end to the “cycle of violence.” The administration will be shielded from criticism by organizations like the ADL (Anti-Defamation League), which long ago abandoned its fight against anti-Semitism in favor of partisan posturing. Soon thereafter, the American foreign policy establishment will blame Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel’s “right wing” for all the violence, and the United Nations will open investigations against Israel for alleged human rights abuses (even though Israel is the only country in the history of the world that warns its enemies before striking). All of this will transpire as surely as the day will dawn, and President Biden will again call for the resumption of the two-state solution. But nobody will ever identify what a Palestinian state ought to stand for. One state, Israel, will remain a multiethnic, multi-religious advanced democracy, which celebrates the human rights of women and the LGBTQ. The proposed state of Palestine will be none of these things. There will be no democracy, no rights for women, and like Nazi Germany before it, Palestine will insist on being Jew-free. The proposed Palestine will continue to murder gays and lesbians. And every American advocating for a state of Palestine will turn a blind eye to this hypocrisy.

Happily Ever After Daniels wasn’t being fiscally responsible Dear Editor, We had a very lively discussion at the Candidate Forum at Ruth Keeler Library. I believe the audience was able to draw a distinction between myself and Katherine Daniels. Everyone claims to be fiscally responsible, but the “devil is in the details.” For example, at the Town Board Meeting of July 25, there was a discussion on purchasing an oil furnace for the town garage, which had to be replaced. One part of the garage is heated with an oil furnace and one part with a natural gas furnace. Daniels had advocated for a geothermal system. She got a bid for $98,000. The cost to buy a new oil furnace was $6,500. The board voted unanimously for the oil furnace, including Daniels. However, she did express disappointment and wished to keep the geothermal in the capital plan. “We could replace the oil furnace and the natural gas side with geothermal and plug into the existing infrastructure and get 100% geothermal. As sad as it makes me, [the oil furnace] is a better temporary option because it will be a backup when we put geothermal in.” So, there was a lower cost and fully functional option to solve the problem, but Daniels is obsessed with the idea of geothermal, even when it is not the best solution. She had to vote yes for the oil furnace because it was obvious that the other members of the board were going to vote yes. This does not show a mindset of fiscal responsibility! I urge you to look at the video of the meeting for yourself. Instead of fixating on geothermal, we should be looking at more crucial needs for our town, such as another police officer or medic. Or we should earmark that $98,000 for unanticipated emergency repairs. I am a true fiscal conservative. Let me prove it to you. Please vote for me, Elizabeth Almeyda for Town Councilwoman on Nov. 7. You will not be disappointed. -Elizabeth Almeyda Candidate for Town Board Daniels is a check on the party in power Dear Editor, I am urging my fellow residents to vote for Katherine Daniels for North Salem Town Board this November. Katherine Daniels is one of two Democrats on the Town Board and the only Democratic candidate up for re-election to the Town Board. As a North Salem resident and town official, she has contributed much to our community through volunteerism. She has committed her time to the N.S. Climate Smart Leadership Team, the N.S. Energy Advisory Panel, N.S. Capital Planning Committee, N.S. Volunteer Ambulance Corp.- EMT, and was the past president and trustee of the N.S. Board of Education for 14 years, to name a few. Her dedication to public service for our community is apparent. Although Daniels conducts herself in a non-partisan manner, I think it is extremely important to have more than one political point of view in municipal government as a check on the party in power. As a 45-year resident of North Salem, I want Daniels to be my representative on our Town Board. -Nancy Stamm North Salem LETTERS SEE LETTERSPAGE 9

Republicans seek to give residents a choice Dear Editor, We appreciate Gilbert Samberg’s engagement in the discussion surrounding the upcoming North Salem Town Board election (“Maintaining balanced board imperative for ‘healthy’ representation,” Oct. 5, Page 9). However, it is essential to provide a more comprehensive view of the election dynamics and our Republican Party candidates, including Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda whose name Mr. Samberg left out as the other Republican candidate running for Town Board. Since the North Salem Republican party was mentioned in Mr. Samberg’s letter, I felt obliged as chair to respond to this distortion. I would like to clarify that the Republican and Conservative Party’s nomination of two candidates, Mr. Golisano and Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda, is not an effort to disrupt the Town Board as Mr. Samberg implies; but to offer North Salem residents more choices that align with their values and priorities. I firmly believe that presenting voters with a choice of candidates is a fundamental aspect of our democratic process. However, it is also essential to recognize that our candidates, Mr. Golisano and Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda, each bring unique qualities and expertise that will contribute to the continued success and well-being of North Salem. Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda is a remarkable candidate whose professional background brings valuable expertise to the Town Board. As the first Hispanic person running for the North Salem Town Board, her candidacy is historic and she represents fresh perspectives as a political outsider. Dr. Almeyda’s dedication to responsible fiscal management, community engagement and environmental stewardship makes her an asset to our community. Dr. Almeyda’s character and dedication to community service are evident through her active involvement in local initiatives and nonprofit organizations. Her focus on preserving North Salem’s rural environment aligns perfectly with the values cherished by our residents. She is a member of several town organizations, which incorporate these ideals, such as: Board of Trustees of the North Salem Open Land Foundation, North Salem Bridle Trails Association, North Salem Historical Society, North Salem Improvement Society, and Joint Master and Treasurer of the Goldens Bridge Hounds. The Republican Party believes in the importance of offering voters choices and promoting a vibrant democratic process. We respect the intelligence and practicality of North Salem’s voters and trust that they will evaluate each candidate’s qualifications, experience and commitment to the community before casting their votes.

North Salem Middle School teacher Bill Posch first talked his seventh-grade social studies classes through the events of September 1, 2001.

To help students better grasp the impact of the tragedy, he shared photographs of artifacts donated to the 9/11 Memorial Museum in New York City. These artifacts documented the experiences of both victims and survivors. “So far, we have talked about the facts of the day.

In our view, a balanced Town Board involves presenting options to voters and allowing them to make informed decisions based on their values and priorities. We believe that is essential for effective governance, as it ensures that all voices in our community are heard and considered in the decision-making process. Do not throw away your civic vote. The Town Board candidate debate forum at the Ruth Keeler Memorial Library reinforced this by clearly showing the vast strengths of both of our Republican candidates running for office, Dr. Almeyda and Town Councilman Golisano. We respect Mr. Samberg’s First Amendment protected perspective on the election, and share his belief in the intelligence of North Salem’s residents. We remain committed to a vibrant democratic process for our town’s future. We encourage all North Salem residents, regardless of their political affiliation, to consider the unique qualifications and dedication of each candidate when casting their votes. There are three candidates running for two Town Board seats- two votes. Vote for two for town board! -Nzingha Milanes Chair, North Salem Republican Town Committee Vote once and vote for Katherine Daniels Dear Editor, I’m writing to urge my fellow North Salem residents to support Katherine Daniels in her bid for re-election to the North Salem Town Board. Our young family originally moved to North Salem for an easier commute. We’ve stayed for the fantastic school district, the beautiful wild spaces, and the sense of community we’ve found with our wonderful neighbors — all priorities that we know Daniels both shares and advocates for through her public service. Daniels’ time on the board has demonstrated an attentiveness to the needs of the school district and support for professional educators, a focus on long-term capital planning and responsible governance, and a sincere and practical commitment to addressing climate change at the local level. Her service as a volunteer EMT and member of the North Salem Central School Board of Education further show her ethos of service to the community. In short, she is an advocate for the types of community values that we sought out when deciding where to raise our young daughter. Daniels’ competence, experience and demonstrated effectiveness in the position make North Salem a better place for families like ours. In this three-way election, the top two vote-getters will win the open seats. I plan to vote once to ensure that the candidate whose values and priorities I share will be one of them. Vote once, and vote for Katherine Daniels. -Chris Stankiewicz North Salem Almeyda and Golisano will preserve, not infringe upon, our property rights Dear Editor, As a North Salem resident for the past 32 years, I have had the privilege of witnessing the town’s enduring charm and rural character. North Salem’s wooded areas, tranquil landscapes and sense of community drew me to this wonderful place, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of my time here. As a retired high school teacher and an avid outdoorsman who cherishes fishing, hiking, and hunting, I found in North Salem a haven of natural beauty that has remained remarkably untouched. In an era where development has transformed neighboring towns and altered their landscapes irreversibly, North Salem has stood as a beacon of rural authenticity. This cherished aspect of our town is a testament to the values we hold dear – values that prioritize the preservation of our natural environment and the maintenance of our rural way of life. This year’s Town Board election carries great significance for the future of North Salem. We have the opportunity to elect representatives who share our deep commitment to preserving the very essence of our town. Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda and Town Councilman Brent Golisano, running for Town Board, are candidates who understand the importance of safeguarding our rural heritage. Just like many of us, they value North Salem’s wooded areas, its serene landscapes and the tight-knit community that defines our town. Their dedication to responsible development, environmental stewardship and fiscal responsibility aligns perfectly with the principles that have made North Salem the exceptional place it is today. In a world where rapid growth and urbanization seem to be the norm, North Salem stands as a reminder that it is

We have seen neighboring towns transformed beyond recognition, and it is our shared responsibility to ensure that North Salem’s unique character endures. North Salem is a place that has welcomed me with open arms and provided me with the peace and tranquility I sought. Together, let’s ensure that future generations can continue to experience the same rural beauty and sense of community that brought us here in the first place. That can be done by voting down new green progressive agendas, no new onerous lighting laws, and no TOD (transit oriented development). In the upcoming election, I ask all North Salem residents to consider the candidates who are committed to preserving our rural charm and way of life. Let us cast our votes for Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda and re-elect Town Councilman Brent Golisano, individuals who understand the importance of protecting what we hold dear by preserving, not infringing, on our property rights. -John P. Autieri North Salem Dr. Almeyda opposes onerous government intrusion Dear Editor, I attended the North Salem Town Board candidate forum expecting to hear the same thing I always hear at these League of Woman Voters forums. This is who I am, this is what I believe, and this is what I want to do. So milk toast. I always like to listen to what people say because eventually that is what they will do, even if at first they depart from their campaign promises. Yesterday was different. I heard a candidate with passion and conviction. Dr. Almeyda explained she was trained to identify a problem, gather data and fix the problem. What a straightforward plan. She clearly and passionately stated her position on onerous regulations, such as forcing people to change their light fixtures so we can be dark sky compliant. This is an issue that is currently before the Town Board. Her rejection of unnecessary government intrusion in our lives drew applause from almost everyone in the audience. It was the only time last evening that we heard applause. Not just golf tournament applause, but almost thunderous applause. Her response to a question about the government forcing them to change their light fixtures hit a nerve with people. I could tell Dr. Almeyda is in line with how people in town feel. In her closing statement, Dr. Almeyda clearly enumerated what she will do and will not do as a member of the Town Board. There was no ambiguity. She will preserve the rural character of the town. She will preserve high-quality town services. She will support volunteer services. She will participate in implementing the Croton Falls master plan. She will do all this in a fiscally responsible manner. She went on to say that she will look at every expenditure critically to evaluate the degree of necessity to the town. Then came the items she will not do. This is what I wanted to hear. She will not vote yes to spend money on unnecessary items that have little or no benefit to the town. She will not vote yes to onerous and intrusive new proposals to the town code that have minimal benefit to the town. I admit I have been working with Dr. Almeyda on her campaign, but this gave me a whole new level of energy. I work hard to earn a living and get very upset when government, at any level, takes my money and wastes it. I do what is necessary to be a good citizen, but past that, I just want to be left alone. I don’t want the government to tell me what lights I have to put in my fixtures, what form of energy I have to power my car with, what type of stove to have in my house or how much water my toilet should use. This is why I support a candidate like Dr. Almeyda. She represents the individual freedoms that make this The United States. We do not live in a controlled society. I encourage everyone to cast their vote for Dr. Almeyda and her running mate Brent Golisano. -Howard Hellwinkel North Salem Support the environment without mandates Dear Editor, Electric vehicle (CO2 free transport) mandates can only be achieved when 100% electricity generation is by renewable sources. As a resident of North Salem, I am concerned about climate change, so I ask the question: How does our country measure up to the 1990s Climate Paris Accords goals? The answer is we exceeded those goals without mandates while growing our nation. Efficiency rules! Make a product or activity less costly (without government mandates) and more efficient and people will not only accept it, but they will also convert to it. The desired goal will then be achieved. We need people on our Town Board who understand this principle and practice it. Mr. Brent Golisano (incumbent) and Dr. Elizabeth Almeyda (newcomer) are such people. Mr. Golisano is well known to most of us as our Town Councilman for the past eight years. Dr. Almeyda is a retired physician who loves North Salem along with all that it has to offer. She has devoted many years to activities that work to enhance our town, is fiscally responsible and has a vigorous work ethic. Mr. Golisano and Dr. Almeyda deserve your consideration to vote for them both for Town Board on Election Day this Nov. 7. Vote for common sense and fiscal conservatism, vote Almeyda and Golisano! -William Bowen III Croton Falls LETTERS FROM PAGE 12

She also finds herself being its unofficial “roadside trash pickerupper.” Litter is a huge problem, especially when road crews come along to trim overgrowth, she claimed, explaining that the machines shred the trash into teeny tiny pieces that “blow all over the place and sometimes into the reservoir.” “It’s disgraceful. I hate to see our town disrespected like that,” Greene-Gross said. Daniels commiserated, saying that littering can be connected to an increase in traffic, most likely due to out-of-towners and commuters getting off the highways and cutting through town. “They aren’t invested in the town and don’t care,” she said, noting that the town is working with transportation officials about improving the flow at the Route 684/84 interchange. The town has also been “lobbying” for lower speed limits on state and county roads within its borders, Daniels said. Catching litter bugs is very hard to do because police have to see them do it, Golisano said, suggesting that the town might place a few unmarked cop cars in strategic spots and also post signs warning about fines. “We could give it a shot,” he said. BIPARTISANSHIP Resident Gilbert Samberg asked candidates to talk about “the value of bipartisanship and representation” on the Town Board. Giving a 2022 breakdown of registered Democrats (1,425), Republicans (1,121), and Independence Party (119), voters as well as the “unaffiliated” (1,116) in North Salem, Daniels said: “The Town Board has two Democrats and three Republicans. It’s working well and, frankly, I think we should keep it that way.” Said Almeyda: “I disagree. It doesn’t matter if someone’s a Democrat or a Republican; you have to look at the individual.” “This is not national politics. If you believe in the person, you vote for the person,” she added. Admitting that there’s always “a shadow of national politics,” Golisano claimed he didn’t care about party affiliation. “We have a job to do and that’s my focus,” he added. “It’s a mixed board right now and we get along well together. It’s only around this time of year when we retreat to our Democrat and Republican corners and come out swinging,” Golisano said. BRENT GOLISANO Seeking a third term is Brent Golisano, who has been a town councilman since 2015. He is a graduate of North Salem High School, Marist College, and the Roger Williams School of Law. Golisano has also worked for the Supreme Court in Putnam County and the Department of the Army at West Point in the officers of the general judge advocate, and as a small claims arbitrator for the Bronx County Civil Court. A trial attorney for a large multi-national insurance company, Golisano has a son in college and a daughter in high school. He is also a former Scout leader. In his closing statement, Golisano said his priorities are to keep taxes low while providing needed services, to create a friendly business environment, and to “strengthen our community.” “I am fiscally responsible and can be counted on for family values and high ethical standards,” he added. KATHERINE DANIELS If re-elected, Daniels would be serving her second term. She was elected in 2020 (Council members sit for four years and are paid about $18,000 a year.) She has two sons, both of whom graduated from North Salem High School. Daniels was a member of the local school board for 14 years. She has also served on the town’s Comprehensive Planning and Energy Advisory Committees. Daniels was a trustee of the local library and is currently an EMT with the North Salem Volunteer Ambulance Corps. She listed several accomplishments that included working with board colleagues and town staff to improve its financial management procedures through the use of technology and also forming a committee to address climate change. Apparently referring to Almeyda, Daniels shared a personal anecdote about the time she was a college freshman and had decided she wanted to go skydiving. “My dad, who was a Marine Corps fighter pilot, said to me ‘Why would you ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane?’” she recalled, adding: “I will leave you with that thought and ask: Why take a gamble on someone with no relevant experience when the person you have is doing a really good job.” ELIZABETH ALMEYDA Elizabeth Almeyda, a retired plastic and reconstructive surgeon, moved to North Salem 12 years ago. She had her own practice for 30 years so, she says, she knows the “nuts and bolts” of running a business. Almeyda was also a physician consultant for a medical liability insurance company. She is a member of the North Salem Open Land Foundation’s board of trustees and organized two major fundraisers for the group. Almeyda is “master of foxhounds” and a treasurer of the Goldens Bridge Hounds. She also chairs the Baxter Preserve Task Force. Identifying herself as a concerned citizen and not a politician, Almeyda wrapped up by saying she has the leadership and collaborative skills to serve on the board because she’s been trained to identify problems, gather and analyze data, and come up with a plan and then execute it. “I’m not afraid to get in and get my hands dirty to work hard for this town,” she said.
