From 1939 to 1995, Nunley’s Amusement Park, on Sunrise Highway, was a fixture in Baldwin and known widely in the surrounding communities, the source of memories for fun-seeking children, parents and employees alike. Last Saturday, a tangible piece of Nunley’s history — perhaps the largest piece, besides the carousel, which is in storage behind the Long Island Children’s Museum in Uniondale — was returned home, to become a permanent feature of the Baldwin Historical Society and Museum. That, of course, is the 8-foot round fiberglass golf ball that topped the building where golf clubs were distributed to park-goers Continued on page 11

Students give patients hope and positivity with their art By KARINA KoVAC kkovac@liherald.com

“Peace and Serenity” was the prompt that students in Baldwin High School art classes were asked to keep in mind when working on “calming” murals that were hung in Long Island Jewish Valley Stream hospital on June 9. The artistic donations, which have become a tradition with the school district and the hospital, also served as a thank-you to the health care staff that took part in the mentoring of Baldwin Medical Academy students. The academies the high school offers help students become acquaint-

ed with various careers long before they commit to one. Junior Biverly Brutus and sophomore Mia Biazon were two of the 26 students who presented their artwork at the event. Brutus, who is inspired by classical artists like da Vinci, said he felt gratified giving the mural away. “It has brought me immense joy to see the reactions,” he said, “because art is a form of expression, and to create art that is able to inspire people is a great honor to have.” Brutus said he hoped his image would help patients and staff who may be struggling physically or mentally. “When you’re going through something

like that, being in a hospital, your mood is basically down,” he said. “So if you’re able to look at something, and even for a moment you lose thought of what you were feeling before, it lifts your mood. That would be a great thing, you know . . . like a breath of fresh air.” Biazon also spoke about perseverance through a tough time. “It makes me feel happy, just because I know that I’m going to be able to help out a lot of people with my art as well as the hospital staff,” she said. “I’m sure they’ve been working very, very hard over the past two years, especially with Covid, and I hope that my art, as well as my class-

mates’ art, will be able to provide them a sense of calm.” Biazon said she was thankful for the opportunity to have a positive impact, just as the Fine and Performing Arts Academy, in which she’s enrolled, has had on her. “Without that academy,” she said, “I wouldn’t be able to attend the art classes that I do.” Computer graphics teacher

Kelly Iovine, who works with both Brutus and Biazon, said the tradition the high school and the hospital share is always a high point. “At the event, when the artwork is revealed for the first time,” Iovine said, “to see the joy and excitement of the students, Baldwin faculty and hospital staff is a highlight of the school Continued on page 5

Baldwin astronaut inspires next generation kkovac@liherald.com

Vice President Kamala Harris and Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff hosted an evening of NASA STEM activities on June 17th at the Naval Observatory for military families and local students and their families, which included a special screening of Disney Pixar’s new film Lightyear. Baldwin born astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli was among the astronauts at the event to educate and answer questions about their time in space. NASA provided three hands-on STEM activities to inspire students from fourth to eight grade to participate in the science, technology, engineering and math behind NASA’s missions. Moghbeli answered questions about space flight with

former astronaut and former NASA Associate Administrator of Education Leland Melvin and astronauts Stephanie Wilson, and Tom Marshburn. Marshburn recently returned with NASA’s SpaceX Crew-3 from the International Space Station and was the NASA technical consultant on the new Pixar film. Also in attendance were Lightyear actors Keke Palmer and Uzo Aduba. Moghbeli wrote on Facebook about the event, saying, “Such a fun (day) at NASA STEM event tonight hosted by our (vice president) and (second gentleman)! I met so many students who were eager to perform test flights on their paper airplanes, iterate on their designs, and retest. The evening left me with excitement for the future!” Through NASA’s Office of STEM engagement, the agency makes investments in engaging students, educa-

tors, and educational institutions to attract diverse groups of students to STEM for a diverse set of students to contribute to NASA’s work and build a diverse future STEM workforce. OSTEM’s Next Gen STEM project focuses on NASA’s efforts to engage K-12 students, including those traditionally underrepresented and underserved, and provides support to informal educational institutions. NASA also engages and inspires the next generation through STEM collaborations as the country prepares for human exploration of the Moon. NASA’s Artemis program will land the first woman and the first person of color on the Moon, using innovative technologies to explore more of the lunar surface than ever before. NASA will then use what they learn to take the next giant leap: sending the first astronauts to Mars.

Herald honors L.I.’s best in health care Achievements of doctors, first responders and more recognized By KYLE CHIN

kchin@liherald.com

any called them heroes at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. But for anyone who has ever paid attention at a hospital or any medical facility, they’ve always been super. Honoring them is long overdue, but more than 400 people gathered to do just that at The Heritage Club in Bethpage last week for the Herald’s premiere Long Island Excellence in Healthcare Awards. Hosted by RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers with presenting sponsor FirstNet, Built with AT&T, some 40 of health care’s best from across Nassau County — and from Suffolk County as well — were honored June 15. Dr. Adhi Sharma, president of Mount Sinai South Nassau, was among those honored. And what’s happening at the Oceanside facility has the executive more excited than ever. “Right now, Mount Sinai South Nassau is undergoing a transformation,” he said. “We will be adding a number of advanced programs — including open-heart surgery, advanced neurosurgical techniques, and advanced stroke rescue techniques.” In his acceptance speech for being named one of Long Island’s outstanding hospital leaders, Sharma reflected not only on work already done, but also what’s planned for the MaurEEN future. WHItE “We look forward to this era beyond the pandemic,” he said, executive vice while “going back to typical care president, for our patients and working Northwell Health with the technology advancements we’ve gotten as a result of the pandemic.” Maureen White, executive vice president and chief nurse executive at Northwell Health, called the past two years or so “uncharted water.” “To see how we’ve come together in health care to navigate these uncharted and turbulent waters on behalf of our patients, it’s been very inspiring,” she added. The keynote was delivered by White’s boss, Northwell’s president and chief executive Michael Dowling. He couldn’t attend the ceremony itself — where he was honored for his lifetime achievement — because he’s traveling overseas, but he did sit down with Herald executive editor Michael Hinman on video to share what health care is like in a post-Covid world. “I never look at the world through the lens of challenges,” Dowling said. “I look at the world through the lens of opportunity. So to me, it’s the opportunity to continue to provide better care. To deal with prevention, wellness, the social determinants issues, dealing with food insecurity, dealing with lifestyle behaviors, and focusing more on those communities across the region in dire need.” So much focus has been given to Covid-19 in recent years — and rightfully so — but that isn’t the only health issue facing many people. Work must continue in other fields as well, like what Bruce Stillman is doing at of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Oyster Bay’s Laurel Hollow. “Our most recent project was for spinal muscular atrophy, which is the most lethal genetic disease in children, that now keeps those kids alive,” the laboratory’s

But still, even his facility — which has weathered through a number of pandemics and health crises over its more than 130 years — couldn’t avoid the coronavirus. “When the pandemic started, we started working on Covid and Covid-related symptoms such as lung fibrosis,” Stillman said. “We never shut down. We kept doing research. And we’re back to normal now — or almost normal.” Honorees were not limited to the lab or hospital but also included first responders — often the first point of medical assistance in emergencies. “Law enforcement and the medical field are always together,” said Patrick Ryder, Nassau County’s police commissioner. “Whether it’s bringing patients to hospitals, our own members getting sick and needing help, 9/11 services, PTSD services — we’re always tied at the hip with the health services.“ Michael Uttaro, the county’s chief fire marshal, helps bring together emergency services in a broad community that includes more than 70 volunteer fire departments and six volunteer ambulance corps. “I assist with coordinating those units, which incorporate ambulances and EMS,” Uttaro said. “We regularly interact with hospitals, urgent care and everything in between. It’s a nice honor to be recognized for what you do.” Many of those first responders depend on FirstNet, a technology network managed by AT&T, that was first developed after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “FirstNet has been in the first responder and public safety space for well over 100 years,” said Anthony Postiglione, a public safety solutions sales executive for

It’s something we like to do to give back to the first responder community.” But it has become more than just a system for 9/11 heroes, Long Island AT&T regional manager Magdalonie Paris-Campbell said. It’s something that has been built for all of them. “It was an honor for FirstNet, Built with AT&T, to support and attend this remarkable event, and celebrate our health care and law enforcement heroes for all they have done for our community, the region, and the state of New York during the pandemic,” she said. “As they say, not all superheroes wear capes.

Composting facts: ■ “Composting” means the controlled decomposition (decay) of organic material such as yard trimmings, kitchen scraps, wood shavings, cardboard, and paper. ■ Compost contributes nutrients and beneficial life to the soil, improves soil structure, and helps prevent runoff that can

pollute rivers and lakes. ■ Compost helps the soil absorb and retain nutrients and moisture, and protects plants from diseases and pests. Better moisture retention means less watering, allowing you to conserve water and reduce runoff pollution

Gardening enthusiasts joined Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé at the Baldwin Community Garden on Saturday, June 11 to learn how to reduce household waste and naturally enrich their soil during “Composting with Cornell” - a free workshop presented in partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Nassau County. The mission of extension is to enable people to improve their lives and communities through partnerships that put experience and research knowledge to work. During the event, attendees learned the basics about backyard composting, a process which converts certain approved leftover food scraps, unwaxed paper goods, coffee grinds, and much more into compost that can be used to enrich garden soil with valuable nutrients. Online Cornell writes on their website that, “Unlike commercially made fertilizers, often formulated with just the macronutrients of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium (NPK), compost made from a wide variety of garden trimmings and food scraps also contains many micronutrients like iron and manganese, which are essential to strong plant development. Compost holds and releases nutrients slowly, for more even uptake over the life of the plant.” “Not only is composting an all-natural

Herald sports A historic season for Hofstra baseball

HOfstRA WON tHE Colonial Athletic Association baseball tournament title, marking the first conference championship in program history. By ANDREW COEN Correspondent

When Anthony D’Onofrio first committed to the Hofstra baseball team as a sophomore at Wantagh High School, he saw potential for big strides for a local program he grew up following. Six years later, D’Onofrio was a catalyst in Hofstra reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history after capturing the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title with four straight wins in the doubleelimination tournament Memorial Day weekend. The accomplishment was made even more improbable by the fact Hofstra was picked in the preseason to finish dead last in the nine team CAA. “To be ranked last in the preseason and finish in third place in the regular and go 4-0 in the playoffs and shock the whole conference really felt great,” said D’Onofrio, who hit three home runs this season as a senior center fielder including a leadoff homer in Hofstra’s 7-6 win against Northeastern on May 29 that clinched the CAA championship. “It was a crazy experience.” D’Onofrio, who will return in 2023 as a graduate student for an extra year of eligibility due to losing most of the 2020 season because of the Covid-19 pandemic, ignited Hofstra’s CAA tourney run with an infield single leading off the bottom of the ninth-inning before scoring the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Steve Harrington in a 4-3 win against Elon. The Pride kept the momentum the next day with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings versus second-seeded Elon and on May 27 and then knocked off Northeastern 8-7 in extra innings the next day on a Santino Rosso RBI double in the bottom of the 10th to advance to the CAA finals stage. Hofstra made history in achieving the school’s first conference baseball crown with its third walk-off win of the CAA tourney when Ryan Morash was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Brian Morrell and cap a 7-6 victory and set off a massive celebration. “To think that the program had never won a conference championship in its existence going back to 1938 is really

The Pride were sent to an NCAA Regional at North Carolina where it took an early lead on the ACC champions before ultimately falling, 15-4. Hofstra’s magical season then concluded the next day with a loss to Georgia in a nationally televised game on SEC Network. Hofstra’s NCAA Tournament run enabled a number of locals to experience a big-time college baseball atmo-

The Pride’s roster includes 10 from Nassau County in D’Onofrio, Anthony Fontana (Wantagh), Michael Florides (Glen Cove), Luke Napolitano (Rockville Centre), Mike McKenna (Farmingdale), Matt Pelcher (Merrick), Frankie DiMartino (Bethpage), Chris Keenan (Seaford) and Danny Kelleher (Rockville Centre). Catalanotto, who previously led New York Tech to the Division II College World Series in 2019 before the school suspended athletics in summer 2020, said bringing Hofstra to the NCAAs ranks very high on his list of accomplishments, especially since he never experienced the MLB postseason. After a breakthrough season, the expectations will only increase for 2023. “Now the target is on our back,” Catalanotto said. “We set a high standard and luckily these guys have bought in.”

Many share nostalgia for Nunley’s items for miniature golf. After an unveiling ceremony — and with the help of the Baldwin Fire Department and Sanitation District Two — the ball is now displayed atop a 10-foot pole that resembles a tee to the left of the museum’s entrance. Sanitation District Two Commissioner Jerry Brown, who is also a firefighter, explained that cargo straps were used to put the ball in place. “It took about two hours,” Brown said, “between laughing and worrying.” The ball, which is sentimental to many, brought back memories for Brown, too, who used to work on the golf course, and as a “ring boy,” collecting the metal rings children would try to grab as the carousel spun. “It’s a part of my childhood and my kids’,” he said. “It was such a happy place, and a great memory for the guys and gals who worked there growing up. We were all just teenagers.” The restoration of the ball wouldn’t have been possible without amateur treasure hunter Vinny Valentini, who lived in Baldwin for 35 years. Valentini began searching for Nunley’s paraphernalia a few years ago, starting with the cars kids raced on a small-scale track. After tracking down two of them and other object, he began hunting for the ball, which he discovered at Obnoxious Antiques in Burlington, New Jersey. After a community GoFundMe was organized by the museum with Maureen Herman, a resident who oversees the popular Facebook group Baldwin Inside, which has over 7,000 members, Valentini and historical society President Gary Farkash rented a truck, bought the ball and brought it back. “I was the guy who located the ball,” Valentini chuckled. “I’m a big fan of putting things back where they belong.” Karen Montalbano, vice president of the historical society, said she hoped this larger-than-life landmark would draw more attention to the museum, which is slightly obscured by a parking lot. “We’re a little tucked away, so hopefully this will help draw attention,” she said, “and it’s just a fun thing to happen.” Montalbano brought her own family photos to the museum for the unveiling, which show the lush green holes of the miniature golf course — and the ball in its original resting place, on top of the golf club dispensary. Former resident Michael White, an artist, came from New Jersey to attend the event and to sell some of his prints, with some of the proceeds going to the museum. Being back in Baldwin was emotional for White. “This is really where it all started,” he said. “It’s starting to really become a place of memories. “Seeing [the ball] back here is very cool,” he added. “That’s about as big of a relic from Nunley’s as you can get, and it’s cool pop art. It’s a pop culture artifact, really.” White has been hyper-realistically recreating photos from Nunley’s for two years. Farkash said he thinks of his father when he talks about Nunley’s, explaining how, as a child, his father rode the carousel while it was stationed in Rosedale, Queens. “And then when it came here …

The carousel that was originally housed in the building was moved to the 1939 World’s Fair. ■ The park’s most notable attraction was its famed Stein & Goldstein carousel. ■ In 2007, the entire carousel was shipped to Carousel Works, in Ohio, for a complete restoration.

for the Nassau County Museum System, helped put it in storage. In 2007, its restoration began at Carousel Works in Ohio, and in 2009 it found a new home on Museum Row, behind the children’s museum,

where it sits unused and identified as a historic object today. Other memorabilia that were on view at the museum were the Hodges hand car trains that kids pedaled with their hands, and an original ring arm, from which they grabbed rings as they circled on the carousel, hoping for the brass ring from, which was on loan for the day from the children’s museum. County Executive Bruce Blakeman and Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé presented citations to the Historical Society and Museum for the unveiling.

Molloy celebrates the new ‘U’ with $2M gift By tOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

Molloy University not only has a new name, but it also has a new gift — a $2 million one the school describes as its largest single gift in its 67-year history. It was delivered by S. Zaki Hossain, president of Pintail Coffee, a Farmingdale-based “charitable roaster” as it’s described, which he helped found in 2013. The donation headlined the first largescale, in-person event for the school with its new university status. What was formed as an all-women’s’ school in 1955 by the Sisters of St. Dominic in Amityville has grown to a roster of 4,800 undergraduate and graduate students. Hossain’s donation will be earmarked for Molloy’s new workforce development program, intended to provide training for private industry employees, with a focus on health care. Molloy’s Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing was ranked among the best nursing master’s program and best doctor of nursing practices in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. “Zaki serves as a shining example of the great promise of America, which is that tremendous things can be achieved through education, integrity and education,” John McEntee, chair of Molloy’s board of trustees, said during the densely packed ceremony. “I know that generations of Molloy students will benefit from

He spent a decade in the engineering field before launching Modern Packaging in 1989, which helped develop of the K-Cup manufacturing tech-

nology used by millions today for singleserve hot beverages like coffee and teas. “I always felt that preparing our graduates with experience in the real field is very important,” Hossain said. “I feel my success is going to be when somebody comes to me and says that, ‘Because of you, my life is so much better.’” Hossain’s Pintail Coffee is on a mis-

sion to address hunger globally, donating every single cent of the company’s profits to hunger-relief organizations. James Lentini, Molloy’s president, said donations like Hossain’s will help the school expand its role in educating health care professionals. He also thanked former president Drew Bogner and state education department Regent Roger Tilles for their work toward attaining university status for Molloy. As part of the festivities, the university also announced a partnership with Catholic Health Services, which operates Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre. Molloy nurses have continued to reinforce the workforce pipeline, which has been especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic. “We share the same values, as we are Catholic institutions, founded in faith and driven by mission,” said Dr. Patrick O’Shaughnessy, president and chief executive of Catholic Health. “Many of the students who graduate from Molloy with nursing degrees come to Catholic Health to commence their careers in health care, and are a huge asset in our vital work.” Molloy will also continue its work with another local hospital, Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside. The university has seen many of its nursing gradates begin their careers there, Lentini added, and Mount Sinai will show its appreciation by sponsoring the 2022 Summer Series of shows at Molloy’s Madison Theatre.

Lifeguard shortage coming soon to pool near you Town supervisor successfully calls on governor to lower age minimums By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

Beaches and pools need just one thing to be successful — sunshine. But to stay open, there’s just one more requirement: lifeguards. And for the second straight year, lifeguards are not easy to find, threatening the summer of young and old alike. But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Town of Hempstead supervisor Don Clavin. In fact, New York can solve its statewide shortage of lifeguards quite simply: lower the minimum age requirement for certification from 16 to 15. Clavin called on Gov. Kathy Hochul to do just that last week, saying 15-year-olds could guard kiddie pools and splash pads. Hochul apparently ag reed. She approved the change the same night she received Clavin’s letter. “Permitting 15-year-olds to serve as lifeguards at spray pads and kiddie pools under supervision of more senior guards would greatly expand the pool of eligible lifeguard candidates,” Clavin wrote. “Staffing spray pads and kiddie pools with younger lifeguards will permit older, more experienced guards to fill vacancies at beaches and regular-sized pools that desperately require their services.” Luckily, the Town of Hempstead are not suffering through a shortage, Clavin

NeW YORk StAte doesn’t have enough lifeguards to watch its pools and beaches. Don Clavin, the Town of Hempstead’s supervisor, is asking Gov. Kathy Hochul to lower age minimums to become a lifeguard from 16 to 15. said. But the rest of the state is. “This is an opportunity to get people back in the pool,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for a lot of young men and women who want to really get into this and are ready at age 15.” The town currently has 180 beach lifeguards on call, with another 300 staffing

pools. Hempstead managed to evade a shortage by offering classes in the winter months, Clavin said, allowing would-be lifeguards to be ready to work by summer. Nassau County runs weekly programs to get prospective lifeguards tested and certified, Clavin said. Nassau lifeguards are required to take

American Red Cross training. “They go through that course, they learn rescues and various skills and so forth,” Justine Anderson, the Town of Hempstead’s aquatic director, said. Once that course is done, the prospects take what Anderson calls a rigorous certification test. That includes complete two laps in 40 seconds, and eight laps in less than three minutes and 45 seconds. There are differences between lifeguarding a pool with a deep end, Anderson said, and a kiddie pool and splash pad. “A seasoned lifeguard knows what to see in the water, they know what active drowning looks like,” she said. “At a kiddie pool, mostly the parents are in the water with the child, so you’re really just watching the parents hold their children.” Age doesn’t determine whether or not someone is going to be a good lifeguard, Anderson said. Maturity level does. “Kids at 15 years old are babysitting,” Town councilman Dennis Dunne said. “So if you leave (15-year-olds) at home with your kids when you go out, you can leave them at the pool.” The training courses are open to anyone from any town or hamlet, Clavin added. “We are the chief certifier,” he said. “This is about everybody in the equation from New York City, to Westchester to upstate New York.”

How people with disabilities can use technology to boost their future career prospects disabled people work more efficiently.

By Patrick Young

Finding Employment

kkovac@liherald.com

In today’s digital world, there are many ways people with disabilities can use technology to improve career prospects. This guide shows you how to leverage these options to make your dream job a reality. Take charge of your career by reading these tips about how people with disabilities can use technology to boost career prospects.

remote Learning for Educational advancement

Online learning platforms can provide the same quality of education as an in-person degree but with a fraction of the time commitment. An online degree in information technology teaches you the skills necessary for building, managing, and protecting all things digital. You’ll learn how to integrate and use software programs and work in networks or remotely from other countries. Finish classes at your own pace anywhere you have an internet connection. You could also learn marketing or interior design — the possibilities are endless.

When you’re looking for a job, using resources such as LinkedIn to search for leads in your field and familiarizing yourself with local Garden City, NY business is a start. Some organizations help people with disabilities find employment by providing job training, career counseling, and other support services. Organizations such as Pathways, Inc. and Wounded Warriors aim to make sure everyone has a chance at reaching full potential in life, regardless of the challenges faced. If you have a disability and are seeking work, you might be eligible for Vocational Rehabilitation services. It’s a free program available in Garden City, NY to help people prepare for, find, and keep jobs. VR can help connect you with resources, including job training programs, job coaches, equipment loan programs, and on-the-job support, to help boost your career prospects. VR also provides accommodations through tools such as specialized technology or alternative communication strategies to help

assistive technologies

If you need technology for work, assistive technologies can help improve your productivity. From smartphone apps to tools that help you navigate web pages, these apps can make a difference in how you interact with your computer. For example, if you have trouble seeing small text on your screen or reading documents, apps such as Magnifier enlarge images on-screen, so they’re easier to read. You can also use specialized keyboards from AbleNet or voice dictation programs, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, to increase productivity at work or school.

Home-Based Business opportunities

Many people start a business at home. Working from home is less expensive than renting office space, and you can set your own hours — great for people who have other obligations. And remote work offers more flexibility; freelancers often have opportunities to set schedules based on when they’re most productive, especially if the work is online from any-

where with an Internet connection. If you’re in charge of remote staff, effective communication is crucial to your company’s success. Use services such as Slack to create team-wide and project-specific channels and a news feed of the most critical information that everyone needs to know to ensure your team can interact successfully.

reaching new Heights With home-based business opportunities, remote learning, and assistive technologies, there are many ways people with disabilities can use technology to reach new heights. — Patrick Young is an educator and activist. He believes people with disabilities must live within a unique set of circumstances--the outside world often either underestimates them or ignores their needs altogether. He created Able USA to offer helpful resources to people with disabilities and to provide advice on navigating various aspects of life as a person with disabilities.

The Marcote Family

The Romanowski family

hree generations of the Marcote family have attended Long Beach High School, beginning in the mid-1950s. Susan and Donald Marcote of Point Lookout were the ﬁrst of the family to graduate from LBHS. Donald graduated in 1956 and Susan in 1961. Their children, Michael, Daniel and Brian, came next, They all attended from the mid-1980s to the end of that decade. Then it was the grandchildren’s turn: Thomas and Jessica. They attended in the mid-2000s. Jessica is now at Northeastern University in Boston. And eventually, a third grandchild will continue the tradition. Christopher, who is one-yearold, most likely will attend LBHS. It's all in the family for Susan Marcote. "I have lived in the same house in Point Lookout for 60 years," she said. "As a family we are always together, so it just seems natural that everybody went to Long Beach High School." She acknowledges that different family members have different recollections of their high school years. As all families do.

or Gloria Romanowski, graduating from South Side High School is a family affair. Her father, Nicholas Grandy, graduated SSHS in 1940. He went on to become an entrepreneur and executive vice president for Roosevelt Raceway, the racetrack just outside the Village of Westbury from 1940 to 1988. His older sister, Nancy Grandy-Brunhoez, graduated from South Side in 1939, and his brother, Vincent Grandy, graduated in 1942. Her siblings include Amanda (class of 1967); Kathryn (1969); Nicole (1970); Virginia (1972); Nick (1974); Paul (1977); and Peter (1981). Amanda’s daughters, Louisa and Elizabeth, graduated from South Side in 1999 and 2004, respectively. Gloria, a 1979 graduate, attended SUNY Oneonta. She pursued a career in tech sales; transitioning into real estate, she has been with Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty for the past 14 years. Her sons, Mark and Nick, graduated from SSHS in 2013 and 2017. Mark went on to Princeton University and is a ﬁnancial analyst, living in Manhattan; Nick graduated from Adelphi University and works in logistical operations in Brooklyn.

OBITUARIES By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Anne M. Barker of Baldwin, New York, passed away on May 28, 2022, at 90 years old. She was born on May 5, 1932. Barker was the daughter of Willis A. Dibble and Isabelle M. Dibble and the youngest sibling of their family of seven. She is survived by her brother, Edward Dibble, and many dear nieces and nephews. Barker knew since childhood that she would be a nurse saving lives and easing pain. She graduated from St. Agnes Academic School in 1950, and earned her nursing degree in 1953, from St. Mary’s Hospital, in Brooklyn. She began her lengthy career in medicine at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, serving eight years as head nurse of a medical unit. After receiving her Bachelor of Science in nursing from St. John’s University, she worked at St. Francis Hospital in the Intensive Care Unit; devoted solely to

open heart surgery. In 1962, Barker joined St. Vincent’s Hospital School of Nursing in New York City and began dedicating her life to teaching. She was appointed senior instructor of the Nursing Foundation Department in 1966, while serving as president of the Rockville Centre Diocesan Council of Catholic Nurses and received her master’s degree from Long Island University. In 1972, Barker married the love of her life, Frederick R. Barker, and delighted in becoming part of his family. Anne and Fred adored and doted upon one another, sharing seven years of marital harmony, until his passing in 1979. Anne was a steadfast member of St. Christopher’s Church in Baldwin, and for more than 40 years supplied unwavering support and contributed her extraordinary talents to meeting the needs of her community. She retired in 1997, after teaching at St. Vincent’s Hospital for 35 years, having taught over 3,000 students to embody

the true spirit of nursing, which she knew to be faith, hope, and love. In retirement, Barker continued her vocation at Christa House in Islip Terrace, NY, volunteering for ten years to care for the dying poor, particularly those with end stage AIDS. All the while, Barker gave endlessly to her family and friends, gifting her skillfully crafted creations; infant quilts, baptismal gowns, communion and wedding dresses, birthday cakes, loaves of bread adorned with ribbon, child-size Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls. Barker trusted in the infinite wisdom and mercy of God; she devoted her life to the teachings of Christ and encouraged countless others to develop their unique gifts to serve humanity with loving kindness. In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests donations be made in memory of Anne M. Barker to the St. Vincent de Paul Society of Rockville Centre.

June 23, 2022 — BALDWIN HERALD

Astorino looks to wipe away political polarization By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com

There aren’t many people who can say they’ve come close to beating Andrew Cuomo — especially at the height of the former governor’s popularity. But Rob Astorino can. Running with Chemung County Sheriff Chris Moss in 2014, Astorino challenged Cuomo, but fell short by a little more than 500,000 votes. So put him up against the current incumbent governor, Kathy Hochul, and the Westchester County executive believes he has a better chance than any other Republican on the June 28 primary ballot. “We did not have the money at the end to compete,” Astorino told a team of reporters in the Herald Roundtable session. “We were outspent eight to one.” And it didn’t help Astorino to not have the rest of the Republican Party behind him. There were reports after the election that Cuomo and state GOP leaders had hashed out a “non-aggression” pact ahead of the voting that essentially pushed Astorino aside. Those particular Republicans are gone now — and Cuomo is, too, following a sexual harassment scandal that forced him to resign last year. Astorino sees Hochul as not much more than a placeholder, and if she wins the Democratic nomination next week, it might be a perfect chance for Republicans to return to the executive

Courtesy the Rob Astorino gubernatorial campaign

WEstCHEstEr CouNty ExECutIvE Rob Astorino is no stranger to statewide campaigns, coming within a half-million votes of toppling Andrew Cuomo back in 2014. But to have another chance at the executive mansion, Astorino first has to get through a crowded field of Republicans. mansion. Crime is something that really has Astorino’s attention, especially when visitors from outside the country make it clear they don’t want to go anywhere near New York City. Democrats, he says, have been too soft on crime. “You know, maybe the original concept of bail reform was one that was worth having a discussion,” Astorino said. “I

don’t want some nonviolent first offender to be rotting away in jail, or to have a record that he or she is not going to be able to overcome. However, when we have criminals who are career criminals and thugs and violent criminals, we’ve got to set the example.” And even if Astorino takes over the state’s top job and finds himself facing a Democratic iron curtain, the gubernatori-

al hopeful says he’ll just push his agenda through the state budgeting process, where he would have significant power to create his own legislation beyond the Assembly and Senate. Like the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs a number of transit services, including the Long Island Rail Road. “The MTA is an absolute and utter mess,” Astorino said. “It is wasting money left and right. And nobody wants to say, ‘Well, let’s fix the problem first’ before we create all these new multi-billion-dollar projects and programs.” Astorino is against congestion pricing in Manhattan’s Financial District, and says those extra fees won’t hit those with big wallets, but instead much smaller businesses. Winning this race is going to require finding common ground in a political environment that’s quite polarized. But Astorino believes he can do it. “We can appeal — and I have to appeal — to those who don’t ordinarily vote Republican,” he said. “There are a lot of reasonable things that we do that cross party lines. So, you know, I think definitely, come November, I’m the best candidate that could actually get elected.”

‘Community organizer’ ready to make a difference By MICHAEL HINMAN

Candidate talk

mhinman@liherald.com

When he first ran for president in 2008, Barack Obama took a lot of flak from opponents over his college days as a “community organizer” — work that has never been easy to define. Especially for Jumaane Williams in his own post-college days, long before anyone knew who Obama was. “No one had any idea what that was,” Williams told a team of reporters in a Herald Roundtable session. “My mother asked me to please get a real job, and I had to tell her it <ITAL>was<UNITAL> a real job.” His parents had emigrated from Grenada in the 1970s, and pushed for both Jumaane and his brother to get a good education. Williams did just that at Brooklyn College, earning a political science degree and later a master’s in urban policy. A few years later, he was a Brooklyn city councilman, toppling an incumbent a year after that other community organizer made it into the White House. And within a decade, he was New York City’s public advocate — the city’s ombudsman, for lack of a better term — that has been a major steppingstone for predecessors including former Mayor Bill de Blasio and current state Attorney General Letitia James. If he wants to have a chance to move to Albany, Williams will have to hark back to

Herald Community Newspapers provided a chance for all of New York’s gubernatorial candidates to meet with an editorial team to present their views and answer questions. This week, we have included sessions with candidates Rob Astorino, Jumaane Williams and Harry Wilson. Last week, we featured Andrew Giuliani and Tom Suozzi. All sessions can be found on our website, LIHerald.com. Neither Gov. Kathy Hochul nor U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin responded to invitations to join the roundtable. Courtesy the Jumaane Williams gubernatorial campaign

JuMAANE WILLIAMs HAs been New York City’s public advocate since 2019 — a job that has led to higher office for many of his predecessors, including former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and current state Attorney General Letitia James. Williams hopes he can leap from that job to the executive mansion. those days of upending incumbents, because observers say Gov. Kathy Hochul will be hard to beat — especially for a fellow Democrat. “I ran against Kathy in 2018, and I said that if you had a lieutenant governor that was not willy-nilly, but when necessary, would stand up to the governor, we would be better off,” Williams said. “And that proved more right than even I thought, particularly as we got into this pandemic, and wrong decision after wrong decision was happening.” The biggest problem now, as it was

then, is priorities, Williams said. New Yorkers have their priorities, and Cuomo — and later Hochul — had their own. “The priorities that were made in this (most recent) budget were not the priorities of New Yorkers,” Williams said. “To not have any funding for housing vouchers. To not put in money we asked for, for gun violence prevention. But to instead focus on a stadium being built outside of Buffalo” for the NFL’s Bills. Democrats, for the most part, have the right idea when it comes to turning society around, Williams said. But the “Demo-

cratic Party does not do a good job talking about public safety, or the economy, for that matter.” Williams said he has a plan to put New York back on the right track, but first it requires listening to what the state’s residents have to say. And listening is what he has spent much of his entire political career doing, and what he will continue to do, he added, if elected governor. “If we don’t know the intersection of housing and health care and public safety now, we never will,” Williams said. “We cannot say we’re going to let the rest of New Yorkers languish … and then send the police department to do on the back end what we fail to do on the front end. “That’s just, I think, a selfish false choice.”

Wilson dedicated to looking out for the ‘little guy’ mhinman@liherald.com

Harry Wilson doesn’t have the most recognizable name among those running for governor — in either party. But then again, as the self-proclaimed turnaround expert might say, maybe he should. It’s not like Wilson hasn’t sought office before. Hailing from Johnstown — less than an hour north of Albany — Wilson ran for state comptroller in 2010, losing to longtime incumbent Thomas DiNapoli. But now Wilson is ready to move from company executive to state executive, looking to be the Republicans’ representative on the November ballot to take back the governor’s office. “The two things that I think are essential for a successful candidate for governor,” Wilson recently told reporters at a Herald Roundtable. “One is the ability to actually fix this broken state, not just manage the decline, as I think most other candidates are proposing to do. “And the second thing is, to do that, I have to win.” That’s easier said than done. Other Republicans in the race, like Andrew Giuliani, Lee Zeldin and even Rob Astorino, have far better name recognition. But running a state government

HArry WIlsoN Hopes he can turn his business savvy into making things happen in Albany as New York’s next governor. But to even get a chance, he has to overcome a field of Republicans who have far better name recognition than he does. isn’t much different from running a business, Wilson said. It’s just that many politicians wouldn’t know the first thing to do in the latter situation, since they’ve never run a business. “I’m not a partisan,” Wilson said. “I am a very deeply, philosophically, limited-government conservative across the

board, so I’m happy to talk about that. But, basically, I’ve been really focused on delivering results for my business, customers and stakeholders. And in my political focus, on taxpayers and voters.” Wilson describes his core principals as lower taxes, lower cost of living and safer streets. And he believes he can ful-

fill those goals with the Legislature, whether it’s run by Republicans or Democrats. “I have negotiated hundreds of deals with all kinds of entrenched stakeholders, with unions, who were kind of set in their ways,” Wilson said. “I always came to these companies that are in or near bankruptcy, so everybody’s mad. They’ve lost a lot of money, and they may have been worried about their jobs. “I have to deal with that, and create a new vision that people can believe in and rally around. And create a plan that people can support and work toward together.” That even means taking positions that Republicans traditionally have not — like the fact that Wilson is pro-choice, and says he would protect women’s reproductive rights. For him, it’s the first step in bringing a highly polarized electorate back together. And as governor, that’s what Wilson intends to do. “I’m looking out for the little guy,” he said. “Small businesses. Regular people, and creating the environment so they can all thrive through their own merit.”

DEC announces “I Bird NY” Challenges New York State Department of Environmental Conservation commissioner Basil Seggos announced the start of the 2022 “I BIRD NY” challenges for beginning and experienced birders on Friday. Two levels of challenges provide the opportunity to identify birds and learn about birdlife and offer a chance to win birding equipment. With the launch of many New York State Birding Trail segments this year, DEC will be increasing the chances of winning if participants find birds on a New York State Birding trail site. “No matter where you live, birdwatching is a fun, easy, affordable activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds,” said Commissioner Seggos. “This summer is a great time to start birding or take your birding skills to the next level by observing birds in the diverse variety of habitats and locations the New York State Birding Trail offers.” New York State’s wide-ranging habitat types, from the Atlantic Ocean’s sandy beaches to majestic Catskill and Adirondack peaks, Great Lakes shorelines, and everything in between create a birder’s paradise that supports more than 450 different bird species throughout the year. New York offers a wide variety of options in Birding Trail locations with ongoing new sites being added, making it even easier for New Yorkers to get started with

bird species and submit their challenge sheet to DEC. In addition to the Beginner’s Birding Challenge, DEC is offering the I Bird NY experienced birder challenge https:// www.dec.ny.gov/docs/administration_

pdf/expbirdchallenge.pdf. To complete birders of any age must identify at least 10 different bird species found across New York State. Entries can be submitted online or be mailed or emailed and must be received October 14. Both entry forms are also available in Spanish. All participants in both challenges will be able to print a certificate of participation and be entered into a random drawing for a chance to win birding accessories, including binoculars and a grand prize spotting scope. All participants will also receive an extra entry for identifying half of the birds (5) on NYS Birding Trail sites. As a bonus, the first 50 participants from either challenge will receive a special goodie bag of birding swag items. Birdwatching is one of the fastestgrowing outdoor recreational activities in the nation. Backyard birding, or watching birds close to home, is the most common way people engage in birding. As a birder’s skill and interest develop, there are several opportunities to contribute to scientific knowledge about birds and the natural world. Programs like eBird, New York’s Breeding Bird Atlas, Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s NestWatch, and the Great Backyard Bird Count rely on volunteer birders to contribute sightings to a centralized database. —Karina Kovac

Fire at Baldwin Pizza doesn’t stop operations for long time By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

A fire in the wall and oven at Baldwin Pizza was quickly extinguished by Baldwin’s best on June 14. One light was stretched from Truck 1, Engine 203, which were due first, and the wall was opened up where firefighters operated. Ladder 2 took to the adjacent alley where firefighters climbed a portable ladder to the top of the building. Engine 201, 202 and 204 provided back up on the scene. First Aid Company and District EMS set up in front. Chief of Department Brien Cummings was in charge and Baldwin Pizza is operating as normal.

Q. We started planning a project to add a room, 303 square feet, in 2015, and due to many delays, we received approval for a permit only in January of this year. The costs from when we originally started planning until now increased from an estimated $80,000 to almost $200,000. Part of the work was to remove the previous owner’s handicapped-accessible deck with a permitted roof, which, thankfully, we don’t need. We got an alternative estimate for a paving-block patio, which we understand doesn’t need a permit in our town if it’s on the ground. The contractor even said we could cover the entire yard. We still want to keep the roof, so do we need a permit for the patio, and do we need a permit for the footings to continue supporting the roof we want to keep?

A. You can see, firsthand, what has happened with the economy and costs. Fortunately, you have an alternative to save money. People who are planning enclosed rooms aren’t as fortunate in the economy we’re now facing. I have always recommended patios, properly drained, supported and finished, over the other onte eeper choice of decking, where possible, not just because many jurisdictions don’t require a permit for the paving, but also because the maintenance is less for a patio, and it will last much longer than a deck system. Some communities have regulations for a permit to be filed for paving to show the authorities that the paving is “permeable” — that it still allows rain to seep into the ground to recharge the water supply deep in the earth below. Your location is in a town that doesn’t require a permit for anything that’s built less than 8¼ inches above the ground. Incidentally, the magic of 8¼ inches isn’t arbitrary; it’s the maximum height of a step in the building code. I just returned from a trade fair where I had the opportunity to discuss material pricing with many suppliers, and the consensus is that prices for commodity materials such a raw lumber and cement will begin to fluctuate downward, but many said that they don’t anticipate manufactured items to come down again. Just as real estate has seen a dramatic increase, so now have materials and construction in general. The biggest concern we should all have, if we care about the next generation and the health of our economy, is whether they will ever be able to afford what their parents had. Currently, only 9 percent of the next generation of American families own or have a mortgage on a home, while the majority of the generation has had to find alternatives, such as multi-generational living arrangements or apartments, trailers or recreational vehicles as permanent living, according to Building magazine, among other building information resources. I hope the existing deck roof already has a correct supporting footing in the ground. If not, good luck!

report just published by ERASE Racism explores how equitably educational resources are available across school districts on Long Island — and specifically, whether they vary depending on a district’s racial composition. The results are startling, and the implications for the Town of Hempstead are disturbing. The report, “Unequal Resources for Long Island Students Based on race,” analyzes school districts by race. Of the 125 districts on Long Island, the report focuses on 66, ELAinE which fall into the following four cateGRoss gories: 11 intensely segregated (90 to 100 percent nonwhite), 10 majority Black and Hispanic (50 to 89 percent), five racially diverse (40 to 60 percent white), and 40 predominantly white (at least 70 percent). The research reveals, among other findings, that the 11 intensely segregated districts have, on average, nearly $10,000 less in annual revenue per student than predominantly white districts. The most segregated districts also have more students for every guidance counselor and social

worker than predominantly white districts. On average, there is one guidance counselor for every 1,226 students in intensely segregated districts, and one for every 356 students in predominantly white districts. Similarly, there is an Advanced Placement course for every 179 high school students on average in the most segregated districts. That’s more than double the median ratio for all districts with at least one high school. The report also found that the number of intensely segregated districts has grown from five in the 200304 school year to 11 now. The percentage of Black and Hispanic students in those 11 districts has also grown in this period, from 28 to 37 percent for Black students and from 13 to 36 percent for Hispanic students. The geography of those 11 districts is also illuminating. Seven are in Nassau County, and six of those are in the Town of Hempstead. The seventh, Westbury UFSD, is in the Town of North Hempstead. The other four districts are in Suffolk County. The six districts in the Town of Hempstead represent a majority of the intensely segregated districts on Long Island. They

are Elmont, Freeport, Hempstead, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Valley Stream 30. Elected officials representing those school districts should be alarmed by the disparities in resources for their constituents and prioritize getting them addressed. They should be asked, why do those intensely segregated districts have, on average, so much less revenue per student? Why do they have far fewer guidance counselors and A.P. courses? And what will those officials do about it? A related question for all Long Islanders — elected officials, civic and business leaders and ordinary citizens alike — is, why does Long Island, with only two counties, have 125 school districts, and what can be done to change the racial segregation and resource disparities inherent in that fragmentation? Those conditions are grounded in the structural racism on Long Island, which is one of the 10 most racially segregated metropolitan regions in the U.S. School district boundaries, student assignment policies and district funding are all shaped by racially segregated residential patterns, reflecting historical and ongoing structural racism. Whether intentional or not, this racism excludes Black and His-

lacks and Hispanics are excluded from resourcerich school districts.

panic students from resourcerich school districts populated primarily by white students, and simultaneously ensures that districts populated primarily by Black and Hispanic students have resource deficits. What can be done about it? One way of addressing the resource deficits is to bring the resources of the intensely segregated districts up to the level of predominantly White districts. In fact, one can make a strong argument that districts filled with “high-need” students should have access to more resources than those with more privileged students. Another way to address the resource gap is to redesign the districts so that their schools and classrooms are more racially diverse. That can be done by changing the number and footprint of those districts. It can also be done by creating collaborations between districts to increase access to A.P. courses, for instance. With remote teaching more common due to the coronavirus pandemic, it should be easier to envision and implement such collaborations. All Long Islanders should consider the findings of this report. We should be asking ourselves, our elected officials, and candidates for office what we, and they, are going to do about them.

Taking to the air is no flight of fancy

f you have fond memories of flying someplace for summer fun, well, you can just wipe that fantasy out of your head. My reverie of fun flying goes back decades. There I was, on July 4, 1968, in my dress-and-coat ensemble, white gloves and straw hat, boarding a plane with my brand new husband. Destination Bermuda! We flew coach and had a yummy meal delivered to our seat on a little tray with darling salt and pepper RAnDi shakers. Chicken KREiss or beef. As I recall, my husband of 20 hours didn’t take off his tie. We didn’t take off our shoes and socks like today’s travelers. Flying was a life event. One dressed. Get this: We talked to each other on the flight. With no devices or seat-back entertainment, we started a conversation that has lasted 54 years. To be clear, we haven’t spoken for all of those years, but we’ve done our best. The flight attendants, who were called

stewardesses and were all women, were unfailingly solicitous and professional. They were glamorous, and they wore perky little hats at a saucy tilt. Speaking of saucy, the person seated next to me on this flight (I’m writing at 34,000 feet) just spilled the barbecue sauce from her sandwich all over my shoe. She looks like a superhero in her bright red Wonder Woman ensemble, but actually she’s eating a superhero. Has to be three pounds of meat and sauce. My husband has a seat in a different row because we both wanted aisles. That’s what happens after 54 years. Whoopsie. We just dived. “Fasten your seat belts,” the captain announced, but our flight attendant, who looks like she just rolled off a long-haul flight, kept up her chitchat with a colleague, not particularly tuned in to the passengers. I know flight attendants have to meet certain physical standards to do the job, none of which has anything to do with gender or any subjective requirement for good looks, etc. As it should be. But I do think that since we’re all locked up in

this flying metal tube for a few hours, the attendants should maintain appropriate decorum, and avoid using the mic for their stand-up. We have lost so much general civility that it would be nice to be nice in these close quarters. Today our flight attendant is a bit of a bully. She has asked me three times if I have any trash to contribute to her huge plastic bag, and I keep saying no. Last time she started rummaging in my seat back. “What’s this?” She said. “It’s my cookies,” I said. She gave them back. The whole tenor this experience is upside down and backward. First, you feel immensely grateful if you can even find a seat on a plane in this somewhat but not really post-pandemic summer season. Then you have to raid your bank account to buy a ticket. On JetBlue you can buy a ticket, but if you want an actual seat, and you want bathroom privileges and would like to bring a bag, you have to pay more. I exaggerate, but you do pay more for getting on board early, for checking a suitcase, for snagging an upfront seat.

rom white gloves in 1968 to a seatmate’s sauce on my shoes in 2022.

Everything is easier … and harder. It took me a long time to figure out how to “pair” my phone with the JetBlue seatback screen. Going through security is fraught. This is true: My husband got pulled of the security line and had his bags searched because he was carrying an amount of Miralax that was deemed “suspicious.” In some ways, it is an explosive, I’ll grant them that. My fellow passengers are a wellbehaved group, although no one is wearing a mask anymore except me and my husband and a few other oldies. But how people trundle onto a plane in the getups I see is puzzling. If you’re going to sit three inches from a stranger for four hours, shouldn’t you tidy up a bit? Get the food out of your beard? This is our first flight together since last summer’s vacation, when we dropped into the raging wildfires in northern California, and basically turned around and came home. For us, staying grounded isn’t an option. I keep reminding myself that this isn’t, and will never be, a new “normal.” It’s a new world. We have to be patient and pack a sense of humor.

Suozzi is right choice for L.I. and New York

ext Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial primary pits three dedicated public servants against one another — Gov. Kathy Hochul, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi and New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams. We don’t typically endorse at the primary level — or at the gubernatorial level. But then again, Suozzi is not a typical candidate. Not only is he from Long Island; he’s also from Nassau County — an important distinction from Hochul and Williams. He understands the needs of Long Island communities and wants to make sure those needs are not overlooked. His past three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives have demonstrated that he is a moderate Democrat who is willing to work across the aisle. New York is a diverse state in myriad ways, including political ideologies, and Suozzi’s views and values serve a wide range of voters, ensuring that he would be a formidable candidate in the general election. With the state and country more divided than ever, we need a governor who does not play to the extremes of either party, which would only serve to alienate millions of New Yorkers. As a member of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee, Suozzi secured New York’s fair share of federal pandemic aid funds. His executive experience in Nassau County — one of the largest and

To the Editor: President Biden is contemplating a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax as a means of reducing the price, which is around $5 per gallon nationally and has been growing each week. This makes no sense in the long run. He reminds me of the emperor during the decline of ancient Rome, who offered the masses free bread and circuses as a means to placate them. Biden fails to explain how Washington would deal with less money going into the Highway Trust Fund as a result of a gas tax holiday. This is a critical source of funding for highway and transit projects. A gas tax holiday would result in Uncle Sam not collecting 18 cents for every gallon of gas. The Highway Trust Fund already faces financial difficulties. The lost dollars would have to be made up, and Con-

most complicated municipalities in the country — prepared him well for the governor’s mansion. Most important, during his time as county executive, Suozzi — who is both an attorney and a certified public accountant — reversed years of fiscal mismanagement. The current economic environment will require a deft manager of state finances, and we are confident that Suozzi would do this while balancing the need to make New York a more affordable place both to live and to conduct business. Hochul should be applauded for hitting the ground running last year, after Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace. However, we’re not sure that Hochul understands, or will prioritize, the needs of Long Islanders. The home region of a governor can certainly stand to benefit from having a native son or daughter in Albany. Case in point: the sweetheart deal Hochul brokered for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills, in her home territory. The behind-closed-doors deal provides $1 billion in state funding for the stadium — the largest municipal aid package in the history of the National Football League — to support the upstate economy. Furthermore, before Hochul’s time in Albany, in her one term as a member of Congress, she received an A rating from the National Rifle Association, from which she also accepted campaign contri-

butions. She has since insisted that her views on guns have “evolved,” and that she now supports much-needed sensible gun regulation. Hochul says that her previous stance on guns was simply representing the views of the people in her rural district. But one can be pro-Second Amendment without aligning herself with an organization that opposes common-sense gun form. That is Suozzi’s position, which, no surprise, earned him an F rating from the NRA. The jury is still out on Hochul’s ability to make the correct choice when it comes to big decisions. The coronavirus pandemic reminded all of us about the real-world — and sometimes life-or-death — consequences of a governor’s decisions. Yet, arguably Hochul’s biggest decision to date — her appointment of Brian Benjamin as her original lieutenant governor — was nothing short of disastrous, and could have been avoided with proper vetting. Just seven months into his job, Benjamin was indicted on wire fraud, among other charges, and was forced to resign. Williams, the third candidate in the Democratic race, has a bright future, but does not have the executive experience the state currently needs. The Herald endorses Tom Suozzi in the Democratic primary for governor.

alling all lawyers: we need you back in law school, now. We need you in classrooms and clinics, in person and on Zoom. Law schools regularly post openings for fulltime and adjunct positions. They also need volunteers to serve as role models and mentors, to help inspire students so they excel in doctrinal and experiential courses and pass the bar exam. On that last point, we all know the bar exam isn’t easy. But did you know that on the last one, more than a dozen jurisdictions’ pass rates SARA J. were under 50 percent? So if you’re BERMAN seeking meaningful opportunities to influence our world, nothing could be more important. Law schools help shape society’s future counselors, advocates and legislators — we are responsible for the professional formation of tomorrow’s leaders. What we do, and what our graduates do, matters. The rule of law matters. Work as a legal educator is particularly appealing (pun intended) because our stu-

dents take their skills and knowledge to do well and do good. Our graduates work in private, public interest and government, handling a wide range of civil and criminal matters. They work on bankruptcies and evictions, consumer protection and civil rights litigation. Their efforts may allow families to stay in their homes, or prevent children from losing visitation with parents or grandparents. They help entrepreneurs acquire patents for new inventions. They help businesses resolve disputes that prevent them from thriving. They represent clients ranging from the most sophisticated elite to ordinary people who simply don’t have the savvy necessary to navigate our increasingly complex world. Why teach now? Legal education, a world that hadn’t varied much for over a century, is undergoing radical change. Law schools today are bustling with new ideas, awareness, philosophies, and ways of teaching. Licensing and law practice are evolving, driving the academy to rethink what students need to become “practice ready.” The American Bar Association just instituted new requirements

aw schools today are bustling with new ideas, philosophies and ways of teaching.

LEttERS gress would have to decide how to do that. It will either raise other taxes, transfer revenue from another source, borrow more (increasing our growing $30.4 trillion national debt) or reduce the scope or number of funded transportation projects. In the end, both motorists and transit riders will be the losers if federal gasoline taxes are temporarily suspended. How did we go from an energy-independent nation to an energy-dependent nation under Biden? Why have gasoline prices increased from $3 to $5 or more under his watch? Why haven’t Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi convened a special commission to investigate this? LArrY PENNEr Great Neck Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 NY Office.

Biden’s court pick was ‘arrogant’ To the Editor: I do not take issue with John Turchiano’s criticism of politicization in the appointment process of Supreme Court

for law schools to include professional identity formation and cultural competency training. Creative law professors are developing new “ed tech” to assist in and out of the classroom. Most value inclusivity, collaborative skills and problem solving more than intimidation. (No more looking to terrorizing scenes from “Legally Blonde” or “The Paper Chase” as “inspiration.”) Things have also changed on the student side. More students — though still too few — from historically underrepresented populations are enrolling. And many law students are pursuing second and third careers, bringing wide and varied work and life experience to classroom discussion. So, readers who always dreamed of becoming lawyers, now is your time, too. Even the bar exam is changing. We expect to have a new “NextGen” exam in at least two-thirds of states that will have much more of a practice-oriented focus, with negotiating, interviewing, counseling and other practical skills along with torts, contracts, criminal law and other traditional subjects. Fewer subjects will

justices in his letter last week, “The Supreme Court was political long before the leak.” But the decisions of the court can be, and are, inevitably interpreted as consistent with one political viewpoint or another. Would Mr. Turchiano deny that a president is entitled to nominate those whose political philosophies are consistent with his own? To do otherwise would be illogical. I find it most curious, though, that he made no mention of President Biden’s recent appointment of soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Biden’s limiting his appointee to meeting only two criteria — race and gender — is, perhaps, the most flagrant example of politicization in memory, devoid of any consideration of competence, experience or even political philosophy. Even if he hadn’t made race and gender his only criteria, Jackson might still have been appointed to fill the vacancy on the basis of her abilities and legal background. Biden, in effect, did her a disservice by putting her up for consideration based on two criteria totally irrelevant to performance as a Supreme Court justice. He was motivated, I believe, by arrogance — namely, to be able to point out that he, if his nominee was approved, would be the first president to appoint a black woman to the court. This would have been obvious without Biden patting himself on the

be tested overall. And that rite of passage (or, as some might say, hazing ritual), the multistate bar exam, a six-hour, 200-question, multiple-choice marathon that allows test takers only 1.8 minutes to analyze each complex scenario, will finally be history. The pandemic taught us all a great deal. For many, seeking meaning in our day-to-day life has become paramount. In a recent conference panel entitled, “The New Pedagogy: What We Should Study About Legal Education Now,” at the Online & Hybrid Learning Conference, one scholar noted that a key difference among today’s law students from those in previous generations is that now they enter law school believing their professors care about them. It’s true. We really do. So, lawyers out there, if you love what you’re doing, keep at it, and thank you. Your work is critically important. And if you’re thinking about a new challenge, consider coming back to the future of law school. We need the best and brightest. And future law students, now is your time. Sara J.
