Eminent Domain Along Hempstead Turnpike

"Hempstead Town might use eminent domain to force him [Mr. Cavalluzzo] to sell the land on Hempstead Turnpike so a developer can build a supermarket."  Many progressive Elmont residents have worked to get economic development started along the Hempstead Turnpike corridor which includes the use Cavalluzzo’s property as a substantial supermarket.

During the winter of 2005, candidate for the 3rd Legislative District, Ali Mirza, introduced Long Island’s Sustainable Development to Elmont.  Since then many good things have happened.  Assemblyman Alfano successfully worked to bring an Empire Economic Development Zone to Elmont; Elmont Coalition of Sustainable Development (ECSD) was established and is presently chaired by Sandra Smith and Patrick Nicolosi; and, announced in December of ’06 and executed in 2007, the ECSD engaged the community in many Vision Planning sessions.   These sessions lead to the creation of a Vision for Elmont.

Bad Eye

Many cultures hold that a look, often the evil eye, can cause bad luck, sickness, injury, or even death, and there can also be impact to plants, animals or objects.  The need for malevolence as motivation on the part of the looker can vary; so can the severity of the impact of the evil eye, and also what protective or curative measures are needed.

In the Caribbean, mentions of bad eye or maljo (and spelling variants) express this theme, and with country and sub-regional specific twists and variations.

As I know it, children are especially susceptible to bad eye, especially well-dressed, attractive children, as are the beautiful generally, although it seems more women often are thought to be afflicted; and plain envy seems more a cause than actual malevolence. And if you get bad eye put on you, you can get sick and waste away:

“You see how sick that child get. Y’all send her out like that and without any gold or anything. And not even a piece of red something in her hair or clothes to cut bad eye. Is how you all doing things so . . . .”

As I know it, bad eye, if not warded off before onset, can be cut by a right-potion bath that can vary, or maybe a drink of bush tea.  How do you know it?
