Three weeks with no official Nassau County tax assessor

By ReiNe BeThANY rbethany@liherald.com

Nassau County’s assessment of property values, on which all other taxes in the county are based, has become legendary for its snafus. But the latest one has made Legislator Debra Mulé (D-Freeport) speak out assertively because it adds a potential legal loophole into the tax grievance quagmire.

Immediate appointment of a new assessor is necessary for continuity of the tax grievance and assessment process.

On April 19, Mulé issued a statement of concern regarding County Executive Bruce Blakeman’s delay in appointing a new assessor when

The NYACT CAT Tag kit enables new car dealers to etch serial numbers onto catalytic converters, making them traceable if stolen.

CAT kits deter thieves

Stolen catalytic converters can now be traced

www.liherald.com

Representatives from the New York Anti Car Theft and Fraud Association (NYACT), the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) joined together with members of the law enforcement community and car dealership owners on Thursday to announce a new initiative to combat the surge in catalytic converter thefts taking place statewide.

A new process allows auto dealers to etch a traceable serial number onto the catalytic converter. The serial number then can be quickly linked back to the vehicle it was stolen from. Those who have questions about the etching kits should contact their local auto dealer association or contact NYACT at office@ nyact.org, or the New York State DMV. “The sharp increase in the number of catalytic converters being stolen across the country has police and legislators searching for a way to curb the thefts,” stated Nicole Soriano, NYACT Chairperson and Regional Director of Travelers Insurance Company. “NYACT is proud to partner with the NICB, DMV and the New York City Police Department (NYPD), as well as local and county police departments all over the state, to spearhead this

catalytic converter tagging program.”

NYACT Board of Director and NYPD Detective Thomas Burke provided a video interview, crawling underneath a car to show how easy it is to apply a serial number easily to two catalytic converters.

Catalytic converters—“cats”—are attached to vehicle mufflers and use precious metals to convert toxic engine exhaust to less harmful gasses. The value of those precious metals has made catalytic converters a hot commodity, with a street value of $200 to $500.

The program, Who Let the Cats Out, was started by NYPD Detective Maureen Stefenelli.

According to the DMV, over the past three years, some areas of the state have seen catalytic converter thefts increase up to 200% per year, and one of the main theft targets has been new car dealerships.

Not only are the catalytic converters expensive to replace, but the theft can also cause further damage to the vehicle.

NYACT will be partnering with other organizations all over the state to distribute the identification tags and to provide training for law enforcement and car dealerships to thwart these thefts.

tion finally heeded our call,” Mulé said in a written statement, “their mishandling of this matter should concern every Nassau taxpayer—especially those who exercised their right to challenge the assessed value of their property.”

Mulé’s letter continued, “We also question the wisdom of selecting a person who does not reside in Nassau County—which is especially ironic since our Republican colleagues loudly objected to a prior assessor residing outside of Nassau County—and a person with such close ties to an advocacy organization whose members profit from successful grievances.”

So the appointment has been fulfilled, but leaves open a question: What happened to the tax grievances that were received during the grievance period, but fell into the three-week period when no legally appointed assessor was there to make decisions about the applications?

“It’s a logistical issue,” said Mulé in a May 10 phone interview. “Either the decisions were made illegally by the prior assessor during the three-week interim since April 11, or no decisions were made, so the grievance process gets bogged down—possibly a month behind.”

Mulé said she had no difficulty with Cronin himself, or with his residence outside of Nassau County, given his solid qualifications for the assessor’s job.

Task force set to explore antisemitism surge 27-person committe will host public discussions, suggest legislation

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Nassau County officials have created a special legislative task force to combat antisemitism and, immediately after being sworn in, went right to work.

Made up of eight legislators — four from each political caucus — as well as 18 members of the public, the task force is tasked to gather facts about the origins and extent of antisemitism in the county while working toward prevention methods like education and community collaboration.

The commission has a number of tasks before it, said County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is part of the task force.

“What is the cause of antisemitism? How do we educate people? How do we liaison with the police department when a hate crime occurs?” Blakeman told the task force after they were sworn in. “These are just some of the things that you’ll be tackling here in this commission, and it’s important work.”

The task force is expected to host public hearings before developing a report filled with recommendations to the county legislature to combat antisemitism.

“We are living in a polarized time,” said Rabbi Eli Weinstock of the Jewish Center of Atlantic Beach, who chairs the task force. That time “has seen the rise of hate speech, which has seen a dramatic rise in antisemitic acts. A large proportion of hate crimes, overall, are antisemitic in nature. We’re here and we’re tasked to try and find mechanisms and ways to combat that.”

Lisa Margaria/Herald

A 27-peRSon SpecIAL legislative task force is expected to research and ultimately recommend prevention methods in the hopes of combatting antisemitism in Nassau County.

The task force plans to host a virtual youth roundtable targeting antisemitism with a focus on how the law and public policy can help diminish bias and insensitivity.

The initiative to create the task force was spearheaded last summer by Plainview legislator Arnold Drucker. A bill establishing the task force was adopted unanimously by the County Legislature last August, and amended this year.

“It was clear that the need for action was urgent,”

Drucker said in a statement. In an audit of antisemitic incidents, last year, reported antisemitic incidents jumped 34 percent compared to 2020, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

“Now is the time to roll up our sleeves and work collaboratively with residents and community leaders,” Drucker said, “to devise and enact meaningful, enduring legislation that will strike directly at the fetid sources of antisemitism in our county.”

Blakeman champions partnership with West Bank By eD WeInTRoB eweintrob@thejewishstar.com

Nassau County cemented its relationship with Israel last week, signing an economic and cultural agreement with the Shomron.

It’s an area in the northern part of an Israeli territory commonly referred to as the West Bank, or Judea and Samaria.

“This is an agreement of friendship, understanding and solidarity,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman proclaimed during a ceremony in Mineola.

Blakeman’s Israeli counterpart, Shomron Regional Council chair Yossi Dagan, says his region has been the Jewish heartland since the days of the religion’s forefathers and prophets.

Mazi Melesa Pilip, a Great Neck-based legislator and a former Israeli Defense Forces paratrooper who emigrated to the Jewish state from Ethiopia during Operation Solomon in 1991, said the agreement would “continue an important and meaningful partnership and friendship based on social, economic, security and cultural” links.

“This event perfectly exemplifies the beautiful relationship between Israel and America,” Assemblyman Ari Brown said.

At a time “when people are trying to put a wedge between us, the county executive brings us together.”

In fact, that’s an aspect that sometimes gets lost, said Davidi Ben Zion, deputy head of the Samaria Regional Council.

“These are not easy days in Israel because of the attacks and the terrorist

IT WAS ALL smiles and friendship for Shomron Regional Council chair Yossi Dagan and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman after signing an economic and cultural agreement between the two ‘sister’ regions. Joining them were, at far left, Assemblyman Ari Brown, and former Boro Park Assemblyman Dov Hikind, Rabbi Anchelle Perl of Chabad of Mineola, and County Legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip. campaigns,” he said. “And sometimes for you, it is not easy days. But if we move together, we can win.”

Dov Hikind, the firebrand former Assemblyman from Boro Park, applauded what he called Blakeman’s leadership in joining with Israel.

“We are united with the people of Israel, and we are united with the communities — not ‘settlements’ — in Judea and Samaria,” Hikind said. “These are mag-

nificent cities with the most special people.”

Yet, it takes more than simply saying, “I support Israel,” the onetime lawmaker said, although it’s “a good start.”

“But this is called action,” Hikind said.

“This is called doing something real. You are saying to over half a million people in Judea and Samaria, ‘You are not alone.

We the people of Long Island — of America — we are with you.’”

Judea and Samaria is a subject of international controversy, with some referring to it as “occupied territory,” where development by Israel violates international law. Others maintain Israel is acting legally.

Blakeman, who’s visited the Shomron, described the area as critically situated relative to the rest of the country.

“It’s the high ground overlooking the Tel Aviv airport,” he said. “To give away that strategic area would put all of Israel in danger.”

Meanwhile, Israeli development there boosts everyone.

“What you won’t hear in the media is how many Palestinian Arabs are employed in Judea and Samaria in the factories, earning three times what they would if they were in the Palestinian Authority areas,” Blakeman said, explaining that Israelis “are providing a lot of economic opportunity for their Palestinian neighbors as well as for Israelis.”

While Judea was not represented at Thursday’s event, Blakeman — whose wife is Israeli — emphasized his support for them as well. Blakeman highlighted his latest personal link to the Jewish state, introducing his daughter, Ariel, a student at Bar-Ilan University near Tel Aviv. Just last week, he announced Ariel’s engagement to a former defense forces paratrooper.

In 2016, the Town of Hempstead proclaimed the Region of Shomron a “sister municipality.” Blakeman, a Hempstead councilman at the time, said then that “they are truly on the front lines.”

Officials: Shortage of baby formula avoidable

HEmpsTEAd TowN offIcIAls and parents called on Congress to speed up production of baby formula. Among those addressing the issue were Councilman Chris Carini, Legislator Denise Ford, Councilwoman Melissa Miller and Town Supervisor Don Clavin. responsible is still under investigation.

At the news conference, Councilwoman Melissa Miller gestured toward her 22-year-old son Oliver, who sat in his wheelchair beside the podium. Oliver had a stroke prior to birth that affected his brain stem and left him with multiple disabilities.

“This shortage is more than just baby formula, which in itself is a crisis and needs to be addressed,” Miller said. “But in fact, millions of children and adults that have dietary special needs, their medical formulas are included in this shortage.”

Oliver has never been able to eat regu-

lar food. He relies completely on medical formula to live.

“When the formula recall happened, there was no communication to parents with baby formula or communications with parents of special need individuals, or adults with special medical nutrition needs,” Miller said. “I found out on a Facebook trading group for special needs equipment. I went and looked (at the lot numbers stamped on the canisters of formula): Every single case of formula that I had was part of the recalled lot.”

Miller’s online search for formula in February finally turned up four canisters of formula powder for $175. Now the same

Under a spring sky soft with the threat of rain in the air, Don Clavin joined fellow government officials and parents demanding Congress push much harder to alleviate the current national shortage of baby and medical formula.

“It’s the role of the federal government to step in at a time of need,” said Clavin, Town of Hempstead’s supervisor. “It’s disgraceful that we have to do this because the federal government have been sitting on their hands.”

Clavin called on President Joe Biden to use the Defense Production Act to direct federal funds to boost formula production.

The same act — a Cold War relic designed to use Washington resources to jump start private sector production during war and emergencies — was also used during the coronavirus pandemic to step up the manufacture of ventilators and other equipment intended to combat Covid-19.

The formula crisis stems from a pandemic-fueled nationwide supply chain and labor shortage that’s affecting a number of economic sectors. But it became even more critical after Abbott, a major formula manufacturer that produces the Similac baby formula brand, shut down its factory in Sturgis, Michigan, after reported safety issues with its products. Four infants in Minnesota, Texas and Ohio were hospitalized with bacterial infections. Two died.

four canisters on Amazon’s Canada site cost $315.

One strategy to keep Oliver supplied was to switch formulas, Miller said. But babies and medically needy adults don’t tolerate every type of formula. Switching formulas often causes diarrhea and other digestive disruptions, possibly leading to hospitalization.

John Caputo joined others the news conference because his daughter, like Oliver, needs a particular formula.

“Switching formula could mean days in the hospital,” the Lynbrook resident said. “I would urge everybody, parents — anybody else who takes care of someone with special needs — to reach out to your people in our local governments..”

Liquid infant formulas produced by Abbott were not affected by the recall.

A senior White House administrative official said at a May 12 White House news conference that the federal government has actually done a lot to get formula back on grocery shelves since the Feb. 17 product recall.

One national survey found more than 40 percent of retailers across the country were out of stock when it comes to formula, according to NPR. Yet, these actions should have happened months ago, Clavin said, urging constituents to call their representatives.

“That’s when you see the most reaction,” he said, “when people get together and make the phone calls and ask for action.”

What was supposed to be a rebuilding year for the Baldwin girls’ lacrosse team has suddenly turned into a potential Cinderella story.

Sophomore Emma Ryan scored three times, and seventh-g rader Kaitlin Timmes and senior Amanda Antoine added key goals in the second half as Baldwin exacted revenge on Conference IV-foe Jericho and advanced to the second round of the Nassau County Class B playoffs with an 8-6 victory last Saturday.

Senior Kirsten Mahler had two goals and eighth grader C.J. Keryc also scored for the Bruins, who lost 9-3 at Jericho nearly two weeks ago. That day, the Jayhawks jumped out to a 6-1 halftime lead before cruising to a 9-3 victory behind seven goals from star Mark Kate Person.

Person, who finished with a countybest 88 goals, was held to just three in the rematch.

“When we found out we were playing Jericho, we went back to see where we were missing out on beating them,” Baldwin coach Rebecca LaFlare said. “She had seven goals against us, so we knew we needed to lock her off and that’s where we tweaked it. We had to change our zone defense a little bit and it worked. That was a win in itself.”

The start almost repeated itself as Jericho quickly went up 2-0 before Ryan netted her first two about a minute apart to tie it with 12:26 left in the first half. Keryc and Mahler scored later in the session as Baldwin took a 4-3 lead into halftime.

Ryan completed her fourth hat trick of the spring with just over three minutes gone in the second half. Jericho moved to within 5-4 before Timmins restored the Bruins’ two-goal advantage with 11:52 left. The teams traded tallies soon after before Antoine, who scored just twice during the regular season, found the back of the net with 7:41 remaining.

“We just clicked everywhere, on attack, the midfield, our defense played really wonderful, and my goalie was just fired up,” LaFlare said. “She had some

The pesky Jayhawks again cut the deficit to one with just under three minutes left but couldn’t find the equalizer as the team mobbed senior goalie Maia Goveia immediately after the final horn sounded.

“The last two minutes were so nervewracking,” LaFlare said. “We just wanted to make sure we stay composed and we knew if we got the ball, we needed to settle it down.”

The Bruins advanced to the second round for the first time since LaFlare took over in 2013 but the coach was not on the

sideline during their second-round matchup against top-seeded and defending champion Garden City (10-3) on Wednesday because was she expected to give birth to her second child days earlier.

Baldwin was at a crossroads after an injury-marred 2021 season when it lost 11 players -- more than half of its roster -- to graduation. But the young nucleus of Timmes (28 goals), Keryc (14), Ryan (19) and fellow sophomore Jasmin Tiong Smith emerged to join forces with the experienced upper classmen to go 5-4 in the conference and 5-6 overall.

Linda Sapadin

Passion, politics, and your brain Brain scanning has allowed scientists to see what kinds of communication light up a person’s brain cells and what keeps them in a persistently sleepy state. Our brains turn off when a politician is boring and bland by nature or evasive by political expediency. We don’t want to force ourselves to listen to talk that’s practically designed to put us to sleep.

In contrast, the potential overturn of Roe vs. Wade has dramatically lit up our brains. People on both sides of the issue have taken to the streets to let their viewpoints be known. Nothing

boring about this issue! Indeed, the protesting in the streets has a strong potential to turn violent!

To top it off, the Supreme Court’s reputation is on the line. The Court is designed to be non-political, above the fray of politics. It’s supposed to reason out decisions, not make decisions based on religious beliefs, political ideology, or emotion. If the Court’s ruling ruins its reputation, what will come next?

Will the Court be disbanded? Will people ignore its rulings? Will we vote to create term limits for the judges?

Like civil service exams, will the judi-

cial appointments change from a political process to a competitive competency process?

Deep-seated emotions drive people – to protest, disobey, and become violent.

People think with their gut for we tend to be more emotional than rational creatures. We don’t prioritize credentials, statistics or reasoning if they’re masking religious rhetoric. Above all, we care about what affects us, our loved ones, and our cherished beliefs.

We like to think of ourselves as an enlightened country. And in many, many ways, we are. Still …in Saudi Arabia, women only received the right to drive a motor vehicle in 2018. And yet, abortion is legal there if there’s a risk to a woman’s life, fetal impairment, or to protect a woman’s physical or mental health – including pregnancy arising from incest or rape.

Ireland, a predominately Catholic country, legalized abortion in 2018 for the first 12 weeks and later if the woman’s life or health is at risk or there’s a fatal fetal abnormality. In Europe, abortion is legal in most European countries. It’s legal in Canada and no longer a crime in Mexico.

It’s yet to be seen but many believe that the new law of the land in the USA will outlaw termination of a pregnancy for any reason, putting a woman’s life at risk and putting doctors who perfor m an abortion at risk of being charged with murder.

Now for a bit of American history.

On Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court handed down its historic ruling, stating that a woman’s right to abortion falls within the right to privacy protected by the 14th Amendment. The decision gave a woman a right to an abortion during the entirety of the pregnancy.

However, after the fetus’s viability to survive outside of the uterus, the state could choose to regulate or even proscribe abortion as long it protected the life and health of the mother.

Were there abortions taking place before Roe vs. Wade made it illegal? Of course. Women who could afford it traveled to states or countries where it was legal. Women who couldn’t afford it or had to keep the procedure secret typically had unsafe abortions, which increased infections, sterility and even death.

Will the overturning of Roe vs. Wade stop all abortions? Of course not! It will simply make it more dangerous for those with the least resources. Will our brain cells light up for those women and girls who find themselves in an impossible set of circumstances? Or will our brain cells remain in a persistently sleepy state of ho-hum everyday routine? ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

Alternative energy blows in with future at stake There are certainly some advantages to living on an island — advantages Matt Cohen says Long Island doesn’t exploit enough. Especially when it comes to alternative energy sources like offshore wind.

“We’re an island,” Cohen, president of the Long Island Association, told a roundtable discussion in Melville last week.

“We’re surrounded by water. Iowa and Nebraska may not be able to do this, but we can. We’re in position to take advantage of it.”

Cohen brought together small business owners as well as representatives from four leading wind developers — Ørsted/ Eversource, Equinor, Community Offshore Wind and Attentive Energy — hoping they might find some synergies as part of several intimate 15-minute “speed-dating” style meetings.

Harrison Feuer, the New York-based spokesman for Norwegian petroleum company Equinor, called the association’s roundtable “inspiring.”

“There were so many people interested in this growing industry on Long Island and eager to see where they could learn more,” he said. “They want to get involved to help this industry grow, and the conversation in general was a great opportunity to connect with the folks on the ground and see how much support there is for offshore wind.”

It’s also a great opportunity to help develop new career paths, said Marjaneh Issapour, an associate dean focused on sustainable energy at Farmingdale State College.

“I’m here as an educator interested in the business and looking for possible employment pathways for our graduates,” she said. “The most exciting thing about this is mainly just that the fact that it’s actually happening now, and that it’s a realization. We’ve been talking about it for so long, and now we actually have a few projects in the pipeline. And that is great news for the local economy.” Ørsted’s roots are in fossil fuels, but the Danish company — named for scientist Hans Christian Ørsted — has since moved completely to renewable energy. It has joined with Connecticut-based offshore wind company Eversource on a pair of major projects in the region, including the South Fork Wind Farm — a dozen turbines spinning offshore 30 miles east of Montauk.

Construction on those turbines start and finish next year, according to Grant van Wyngaarden, who heads offshore procurement in North America for Ørsted.

It’s expected to deliver enough electricity to power more than 100,000 homes.

Sunrise Wind, expected to be constructed nearby in 2024, will be a much larger project with more than 80 turbines.

Community Offshore Wind is developing a seabed lease in the New York Bight

that it won during a recent auction hosted by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, according to company spokeswoman Alanna Russo.

“This is something we’ve thought about for many years, and we’re very excited, but we’re still in our infancy stage of developing our project,” she said.

“We’re doing site surveys, environmental assessment, and engaging with stakeholders, and hopefully it will be completed by the end of decade.”

For Jamie Shellenberger-Bessman, who represents the Attentive Energy subsidiary of France’s TotalEnergies Renewables, says her role is more about education — not just of Attentive Energy’s work, but renewable energy in general.

ALANNA RussO, thE strategic engagement director for Community Offshore Wind — which is developing a seabed lease in the New York Bight — says they hope to get some of its wind energy projects off the ground and running by the end of the decade.

“I have conversations every day with people who don’t even know what an offshore wind farm is and the massive opportunity that’s out there,” she said. “So, it’s just about making sure we’re making those connections. We believe the younger generation is the future because it’s the people in junior high and high school right now who are going to be building these things, so we’re looking to make connections there.”

The Ocean Energy Management bureau auctioned off six leases last February in the Bight for $4.4 billion, including $795 million from Attentive Energy. The leases include more than 460,000 leasable acres with the hopes of producing enough energy for nearly 2 million homes.

JR PRESIDENT • Serving Our Community Over 22 Years

Q. We need to simplify our job. The costs are out of control. Can we only do plans for the part of our home we’re adding on, since a few architects are telling us we need plans of the whole house, even though we’re only doing an addition for a backyard den off our kitchen, with a deck? How do we simplify?

A. Somebody named Murphy once said, “Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.” Someone named Stein responded to that by saying, “Murphy was an optimist!” You can now quote Leeper’s Law: The act of simplifying often leads to further complication. In the process of trying to make things easier, you may have unanticipated problems that can surprise you.

I started writing this column because I saw people making the biggest investment of their lives without truly understanding the process or what to expect. Documentation onte eeper and planning shouldn’t be taken for granted. Part of a licensed professional’s job is consumer protection, on top of combining artistic needs, structure, function and systems.

From your perspective, we need to only provide the planning for the affected areas. That seems simple enough. But then things get more complicated, because our plans are reviewed by so many others who all have their particular point of view.

Building officials see your home or business differently than you do. Years ago, when everything was done with paper and pencil, we submitted plans and they got reviewed at face value, such as only looking at the room you want to add. Then computers compiled information that allowed officials to quickly locate the whole property history and possible illegal uses that were previously recorded. After a while, it became a regular assumption of government that people were all trying to get away with something most of the time, and the extra level of scrutiny led to officials asking for more and more information, mainly because some owners ruined trust for everybody.

You are automatically under suspicion for illegal two-family use, illegal sheds, decks, pools and fences, or the lack of a permit for your air conditioner or finished basement or attic. Add to that the zoning information, “clear sight triangle” to avoid blocking drivers from seeing across your property, energy code analysis for even your simple addition, plus light and ventilation charts to show your window changes and there you go, not so simple anymore. Simple would be great, if it were also reality.

Your home may have had a violation that was never cleared from a suspicion of a former owner who rented the basement, or a long-term house guest who caused a neighbor to secretly report you, without any need for proof. It happens more often than you imagine, and then things get complicated just proving that there’s no illegal use, or you have to hire a professional to produce plans for more than you expected. You could start out simply, but be prepared for the rest. Good luck!

opinions

n just under six weeks, New York state voters will get a chance to select the candidates for governor and State Assembly. With no disrespect to that branch of the Legislature, and having been an Assembly member myself, it is obviously the race for governor that is the most significant one from the standpoint of the millions of New Yorkers who will cast their ballots.

New York is a state that tilts heavily toward the Democratic Party, so the party’s primary contest on JERRY Tuesday, June 28, will more than KREMER likely choose the person who will run our state for the next four years. I’m not ignoring the fact that there’s a Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, but with the highest vote concentration in the downstate region, a big Republican vote from upstate won’t be significant enough to drown out the heavy Democratic enrollment elsewhere.

Candidate Tom Suozzi, another member of Congress, has spent a substantial amount of money on television ads intro-

T

ducing himself to the general public. He has a list of promises on taxes, crime and a variety of other issues. But considering the fact that he’s running against Gov. Kathy Hochul, who already has the job, Suozzi has yet to tell voters why they should choose him over Hochul, who would be the first woman elected governor in state history.

Suozzi is running as a right-of-center candidate in a state where most of the voters who show up for primary elections lean to the left. Whether the progressives will turn out for Hochul is still an open question.

The recently passed state budget was a big victory for Hochul. While some armchair critics have blamed the lateness of the spending plan on the governor, the delay was partially caused by her insistence that there be bail reform changes in the package. Because the new budget had so many of Hochul’s proposals, the Senate and Assembly leadership refused to attend the traditional news conference following its passage.

Having served as chairman of the Assembly Ways and Means Committee for 10 years, I can attest to the fact that the new spending plan spreads equal

H

amounts of money throughout the state, as opposed to previous budgets, which were heavily weighted toward New York City and Long Island. The city got substantial amounts of money for health and day care workers and big dollars for mass transit. Long Island was a big winner, with record amounts of school aid, money for road improvements and for clean water projects.

Suozzi has been critical of the approval of public funds for a new stadium for the NFL’s Buffalo Bills. Historically, western New York, like most upstate areas, has been an orphan when it comes to state dollars. If there were a grant of state money for a football stadium on the West Side of Manhattan, you’d hear the same gripes from upstate voters. Previously, Gov. Andrew Cuomo awarded funds for numerous upstate programs, but many, like a Buffalo solar factory, produced no economic gain.

There is no doubt that crime will be a big issue for voters, but the responsibility for New York City’s current crime wave is an issue for Mayor Eric Adams, and can’t be shifted to the state. The controversial bail reform law that was signed by Cuomo has now been amended

e’s to the right of center, unlike most voters who show up for primaries.

with revisions aimed at giving judges more discretion over criminals with gun charges and others with histories of violent crime.

Thanks to recent revelations about an upcoming U.S. Supreme Court decision that may overturn Roe v. Wade, Hochul has set aside $35 million in funds for women in need of abortions where appropriate. There are no differences between the two Democrats on this issue, but the governor has the money, so she has the upper hand.

Suozzi has one self-made disaster to deal with when it comes to the LGBT community. His recent description of Florida’s controversial so-called “Don’t Say Gay” law as “reasonable” resulted in some serious pushback against him that will be hard to controvert. How bad a hit he will take is still up in the air. The electoral clock is ticking, and six weeks go by quickly. Suozzi is facing a big challenge to capture the attention of the voters, and at this point he has failed to get any big wins on the campaign trail, which leaves him where he started — on first base.

Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years.

He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

A Memorial Day like no other in our lives

he things we carry to this Memorial Day, 2022, are freighted with more recent events than past battles. On the last Monday in May, we look back to honor our war dead; this year we also hold in our hearts love for the friends and family members who died this year and last in the pandemic.

We stagger under the weight of one million Americans dead of Covid-19. This has been a war, too.

This year, especially, it feels appropriate to broaden the meaning of Memorial RAnDi Day to honor the KREiss sacrifice of all those who have lived through the plague of our time, including the medical teams and the teachers and the workers who kept showing up and, especially, the parents who have fought a front-line battle every day since winter 2020. The efforts of scientists to develop vaccines with unprecedented speed have been astonishing and heroic.

My special heroes are our teenagers, who gave up nearly every single aspect of joy in their lives to stay healthy and

keep their parents and grandparents safe. Teens live for connection and freedom and breaking through boundaries and trying new things. During Covid, the constraints have been particularly onerous for them. In an ironic twist, just as the world was awakening to the dangers of screen time, so many millions of kids were pushed ever further into the digital world of texting and Zooming. As we all know, our teens are experiencing a secondary epidemic of depression and stress and mental health crises.

I want to honor their sacrifice. I say this out loud to my teenage grandkids, and I want them to know that we know how tough it has been.

The parents of young kids have been raising their children without the relief of school and play dates and family gatherings. Many struggled to keep the home front safe and productive. They were also trying to work, to pay the bills, to get meals on the table. I wish there were medals of honor for them, too.

Growing up, I watched Memorial Day parades along Broadway in Woodmere.

Later, my kids marched down the avenue with their school bands, tooting on their

i

clarinets. In my mind’s eye I can see them looking so proud to be part of the parade, glancing sideways to catch my eye as they walked by. They stopped at the war memorial on the corner of Broadway and Conklin and, in a solemn ceremony, offered gratitude to those who died in our great wars.

I imagine that as children march in this year’s Memorial Day parades and parents gather on the sidewalks, with or without masks, thoughts of other losses will bleed into the moment — as it should be when so many are scarred by painful memories of the past two years.

Many Americans visit cemeteries and place flags on the graves of soldiers who defended American democracy in conflicts going back to the Civil War. We have seen images of hundreds of thousands of flags on the Mall in the nation’s capital, each a reminder of someone who died too soon or too young during this raging pandemic. For me, it is all threaded together.

These past two years have been a battle, complicated by divisions and conflicts among our citizens. Add to this the suffering in Ukraine beaming into our

want to honor teens’ sacrifice, and I wish there were medals of honor for parents.

homes and onto our devices every single day in recent months. This aggression, an amalgam of old-fashioned warfare and new-age weapons, is displacing millions of people and killing children and civilians in staggering numbers. Doesn’t this war have an unofficial place in our Memorial Day as well?

It’s a big job being a thoughtful American citizen today. We want to keep up our traditions and we need to move along with life, somehow weaving our most recent pandemic losses into the fabric of our days.

According to NPR, Marked By Covid, a grass-roots group, is advocating for a National Day of Remembrance to honor those who died.

In the meantime, on this Memorial Day, I will think about all those brave kids who carried the American flag onto beaches in Normandy, and friends who died in Vietnam and those who were killed in Afghanistan and on so many other foreign fields far from home.

I will remember the more recent losses of friends who died of Covid, and I will also go to a barbecue and eat a hot dog and celebrate our lives, which are ever so precious. We just have to do it all.

This Memorial Day is like no other.

And then there was Aaron Salter, a 55-year-old retired police officer. He spent his days after his time on the force greeting customers as they walked into the Tops supermarket in the Masten Park neighborhood of Buffalo. His job was security, and everyone knew him. And he knew everyone.

Well, not everybody, unfortunately. Not the monster who was tearing through the store’s parking lot on Saturday, using what police believe were illegally modified semiautomatic assault weapons, emblazoned with racist sentiments like, “Here’s your reparations.” While at first glance it seemed he was firing his weapon indiscriminately, authorities believe his targets were quite deliberate: anyone who was Black.

Salter had been trained to deal with this very scenario, an unfolding mass shooting.

He had never come face to face with it, but he knew what he had to do — protect the lives of everyone around him, even if that meant taking the life of the man who threatened all of them.

Salter pulled his handgun from its holster and took aim. Police said he fired a number of shots, and hit the perpetrator at least once. Except the bullets didn’t stop him. They didn’t even slow him down. The young man was reportedly wearing body

armor, protecting him from heroes like Salter.

The gunman reportedly turned his own gaze toward Salter — who did not have the benefit of protective armor — and pulled the trigger.

Another senseless mass shooting. No. 198, in fact, according to NPR and the Gun Violence Archive — in 2022. That’s right.

Last Saturday was the 134th day of the year, yet this country has already had 198 mass shootings. They claimed the lives of 210 people, and forever changed the lives of 836 more who survived.

On Jan. 1 alone — New Year’s Day — the nation was victim to seven mass shootings, including one in Philadelphia that claimed the life of one person, and injured four others.

What happened in Buffalo is believed to be racially motivated. And as evidence continues to accumulate about the shooter, it’s hard to believe otherwise. And while tackling racism is a different discussion that needs far more space than we have here, the fact is that this is a nation where there are too many guns are on the street, and more often than not, they are used to instantly destroy families, and communities.

The Philadelphia shooting wasn’t believed to be racially motivated. It was just a dispute, enhanced by alcohol, that turned deadly simply because a gun was available. It’s the kind of violence you almost never hear about anywhere else outside the U.S. But here it’s something we expect on any day that ends with a "Y." The alleged gunman in the Tops shooting is said to have illegally modified his

letters Randi’s ‘raised voice for women’ To the Editor: Thanks to Randi Kreiss for having the courage and honesty to write about the threat to a woman’s right to control her body and her destiny (“Threat to choice has women on the march,” May 12-18). I am approaching 70. I have raised two successful and loving human beings who were wanted and treasured. I also had the ability to end two unwanted pregnancies early in my 20s, which allowed me to continue my life to the point where I was financially, emotionally and socially able to welcome and nourish the much-wanted children I did choose to bear. I have never regretted my decision to terminate those unintended pregnancies, and am extremely grateful that the choice was mine to make.

This is such a frightening time in our lives, as we watch such hard-fought gains be ripped away by religious and social hypocrites who appear to care far more about life before birth than the life of a child — and its parents — after it arrives.

primary weapon, a gun that’s perfectly legal in New York, holding no more than 10 rounds. But the modifications, illegal in New York, are legal in Pennsylvania, and this monster only needed to walk from his home in Binghamton across the state line to get what he needed. Legally.

Following the tragedy, many lawmakers took to social media and called up reporters to express their condolences and outrage. Gov. Kathy Hochul made the rounds on national television, preaching about the need for better gun control. But as quickly as those sentiments flare up, they just as quickly flame out. Over and over again, we get the same action aimed at ending this true pandemic: absolutely nothing.

That must end. The excuses must end.

The silly arguments that any regular person needs a weapon that can instantly kill or maim a large number of people must be put to rest. The time for talk is over. The time to act is now.

Aaron Salter should have never spent the final moments of his life face to face with a monster. He had a distinguished career with the Buffalo Police Department, regularly putting his life on the line.

Yet even a neighborhood supermarket proved to be more dangerous for him than some of the most violent hotspots in the world.

No more. Read their names again — Celestine Chaney. Roberta Drury. Andre Mackneil. Katherine Massey. Margus Morrison. Heyward Patterson. Aaron Salter.

Geraldine Talley. Ruth Whitfield. Pearl Young. And remember them the next time you think there’s something more important than ending this nation’s gun crisis once and for all.

very weekday at 10:06 a.m., I walk into my high school engineering class and take a seat among my peers. I spend the period learning the same material as my classmates, completing the same assignments as them and receiving the same education. I wouldn’t think twice about attending if it weren’t for the fact that 15 pairs of eyes are on me the moment I walk into the room, for one reason and one reason only: I’m a girl in a classroom full of boys.

Amazingly, this one simple attriIlana bute of mine has power to GrEEnbErG the instantly draw so much attention.

For roughly 40 minutes, I am no longer a student who loves engineering. Rather, I’m a girl who loves engineering.

I’d like to imagine a perfect world, with equal participation of men and women in all professions. However, while there is more opportunity these days for both men

and women to break into rigidly defined, gender-specific jobs, an imbalance still holds in certain career paths, including science, technology, engineering and math, or STEM. I’m a high school freshman who has always been passionate about STEM. Yet despite efforts by well-meaning stakeholders and educators to promote more enthusiasm among women in these subjects, I can’t help but feel that today’s inspiring message for girls in the field is too wrapped up in their gender.

Instead of pushing for girls to be treated like everyone else, there is an unhealthy obsession with making gender the centerpiece of today’s advocacy for girls in STEM. I often receive praise for being “confident enough” to pursue what has been labeled an unlikely passion for my gender.

I garner attention and adulation for defying gender barriers by deciding to enroll in STEM-based classes.

But I find this focus on my gender distracting from my work and frustrating, to

I

find the focus on my gender distracting from my work and frustrating, to say the least.

lEttErs Randi, regardless of the pushback you may receive on this column — much of it from older men, I suspect! — please stay strong and remain a raised voice for women, their bodies and their choices. The specter of a Margaret Atwoodtype dystopia rising in our midst grows more real every day. Like you, I cannot believe that we are fighting for basic rights we believed we had secured decades ago. Those who opened the Pandora’s box of Trumpism and religionsaturated politics must not be allowed to damage this country more than they have already.

Fight the good fight for us, Randi!

A decision that was theirs to make To the Editor: I cannot agree with Randi more about what she wrote. Her decision to have an abortion was only for her and her husband to make. I am certain they did not make this decision lightly or quickly. Whatever their reasons, they did what they thought was the right decision at the time.

I have known women who have had the procedure, and whatever their reasons were, I supported them.

It is an extremely personal matter, and I applaud Randi for coming for-

say the least. I just want to escape the label of feminism attached to my interest in STEM, and simply be able to enter my engineering class without getting noticed, just like boys do.

Today’s educational programs, like Girls Who Code, while inspiring and well-intentioned, inadvertently call attention to the fact that STEM isn’t a “normal” activity for girls. By singling out girls in creating specialized female-oriented programs, educators seem to acknowledge that girls aren’t expected to be like their gender opposites in science. To me, it’s akin to creating a group called Teenagers Who Respect Their Parents or Kids Who Aren’t Always On Their Phones.

Granted, there is no mistaking that my interests in STEM as a girl are considered rare by today’s standards. Women account for roughly half of the population, but they comprise only 28 percent of workers in STEM fields, according to the American Association of University Women.

Perhaps that’s because math and science

continue to be promoted as “male-oriented” subjects.

I’ve seen this firsthand. In middle school, I was one of two girls in a class of 20 students in a computer animation program. On the website of a prestigious math summer program, girls were especially encouraged to apply, because most of its participants are male. Disturbingly, even my early-childhood day camp discouraged girls from choosing sciencerelated activities, and our choice of workshops didn’t include the boys’ activities of engineering and rocket science. Our choices included ceramics, dance and “beauty school.”

Yes, there is still a lack of equality in perception, but the way to fix this isn’t by forming a club exclusively for girls that puts the emphasis on “girls coding” instead of simply “coding.” Educators should create courses that include both boys and girls. While I’m grateful for the progress women have made in STEM, I look forward to the day when walking into my engineering class won’t be cause for surprise.

No, Kagan, Sotomayor should not retire To the Editor: Re Matthew Adarichev’s column, “Stephen Breyer retired. Why not Kagan and Sotomayor?” (May 12-18): Why not? Because this is a fantasy, flawed in detail and conception.

Details: The Supreme Court justices are not pawns to be manipulated. To expect a double-unanimous vote of 50 Democratic senators to confirm a pair of young replacements is a risky bet, the effort itself would demolish any remaining shred of court legitimacy, and nothing would be gained, because Sen. Mitch McConnell’s supermajority would remain.

Concept: The battle for the court is over. The present battle is for Congress, and it will be over by Christmas. Mr. Adarichev’s suggestion that Democrats adopt Republicans’ “Machiavellian” tricks to fight for power means they would abandon the laws, institutions, and aspirations of the American project.

To imitate the Gingrich-McConnellLimbaugh model is to become them.

America would be one more example of

a society undone by Madison’s “factions,” the Florentines’ Whites and Blacks, Constantinople’s Blues and Greens, Russia’s Reds and Whites — the list is long.

This season’s issue is, shall America’s Democratic/Republican form of
