nce the players and now the coaches, Baldwin teens are helping the next generation learn valuable football and life skills. Volunteers from Baldwin High School, the Baldwin Bombers travel team and varsity football head coach Frank Chimienti all had a hand in a skills clinic hosted by the two teams on July 27. The non-contact drills challenged their 5- to 13-year-old charges while helping them learn the importance of being team players, sharing,
and trusting others. The clinics debuted last summer, running four days a week for five weeks, and the program is expected to become a preseason tradition in Baldwin as it attracts more athletes each year. Bombers President Jeff Meyer and Chimienti came up with the idea for weekly multi-session instruction while brainstorming how to resharpen players’ abilities after the pandemic. This year the clinics began on July 5, and will end next Thursday. At last Wednesday’s session, more than a dozen volunteer coaches worked with Continued on page 5
Camhi elected president of superintendents association By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com
Shari L. Camhi, superintendent of the Baldwin Union Free School District, was sworn in July 13 as the 2022-23 president of American Association of School Administrators, also known as the School Superintendents Association. The association, headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, is a network of educators who advocate for equitable access to the highest-quality public education for all students, and develop and support school system leaders. Running against two other superintendents, Camhi promot-
ed her ideas about education, including giving children more opportunities to explore their passions and accommodating different types of learning. She also spoke of the Baldwin district’s accomplishments, such as being named a Lighthouse District — a model of leadership and mentor to other schools — and its innovative Academic Academies, in which students can get to know professions they’re interested in before they commit to one in the future. Over the years, Baldwin has been recognized for its innovative and rigorous academic programs, numerous partnerships with local colleges, like Hofstra
University and Nassau Community College, and its redesigned classrooms, and prides itself on helping students become college-, career-, and life-ready. The district’s graduation rate is currently 98 percent. “The world is a different place than it was in 1965, 1985 and 2005,” Camhi said at the AASA Installation Celebration in Washington. “It is incumbent upon us, as school district leaders, to reinvent the experiences our students take in on a daily basis and create experiences that are amicable to the jobs they will have in the future. As part of Learning 2025, we look forward to networking with school communi-
ties across the country, and support one another regarding the myriad of possibilities for other school systems moving forward.” Daniel Domenech, the association’s executive director, said, “As we continue to light the path for school districts across the country in their collective efforts to redesign and reshape the way
kids learn, I am thrilled that Superintendent Shari Camhi — a futuristic leader — will serve as the president of school administrators association for the coming year. It is imperative that superintendents take bold, actionable steps in order for their school systems to succeed. Shari and her team at Baldwin Continued on page 4

KIds Need MORe president Melissa Firmes presents Mitchell Kraeling and the Kraeling family a disco owl as a token of support
Kids Need More gala supports kids with cancer By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com
Sequin clad donors jived over to the Coral House in Baldwin last Friday night to the disco themed 6th Annual Mitchell Kraeling Memorial Gala. Hosted by Kids Need More with the Kraeling family both join together each year to support Kids Need More, a nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of children, families, and young adults coping with cancer and life-threatening illnesses. The event featured live music by the groovy Disco Unlimited, disco balls en masse, food, drinks, and games. Mitchell Kraeling Jr. passed away at the age of 20 in October 2013 from Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare type of childhood cancer that occurs in the bones or soft tissue. Before his passing, Mitchell’s younger sister Kim started attending camp at Kids Need More to help cope with what her brother and family were experiencing through relating to other siblings of kids with cancer. Kim attending camp created a bond between the Kraeling family and Kids Need More president, Melissa Firmes. “Mitch’s little sister Kim started coming to camp and we made a real connection with the family, we we’re there for the family and when Mitch came to me and said that he wanted to start a fundraiser in his son’s name it was a huge honor and it’s something unique that we don’t have in any other capacity,” Firmes explained. Mitchell, Mitchell Jr.’s f ather, addressed the audience at the event and thanked Kids Need More for being in his life during his most vulnerable times, “They were great for me during rough times in my life with my son being sick. They helped get me through all this and you know losing my son was, words can’t describe. But, I’m trying to keep his legacy going, his life going and I just want to thank everybody who came here tonight, I want to thank you all for coming and supporting me all the time.”
Intern Samantha Bray has been assisting at Kids Need More since January as part of her social work degree she’s working towards at Widener University in Pennsylvania. Bray said the camp is not exclusive to children with cancer but to any kids, “going through the tough stuff, things that kids aren’t supposed to go through.” The camp also hosts a mirage of community-based events, including a day camp, sleep away camp, holiday cheer bus during the winter, free private movies, “anything kids want to do we do,” Bray said cheerfully. Enjoying her time helping kids heal at the camp Bray said, “There is never a dull moment, never something that’s boring, like I’ve never been at a board meeting what was like ‘oh my god when is this going to end,’ it’s literally constant fun.” All proceeds from the gala will support the camp’s mission to boost the lives of those going through tough times through fun events, either for themselves or their siblings.

Leadership role could bring prestige FirstNet, schools are doing just that.” Offering more details on how school instruction has changed in recent years, Camhi explained that many schools follow a design created during the Industrial Age that is no longer suitable. Many schools were developed “when we were preparing people for factory jobs,” she said, “and (now) our economy is a different economy — it’s more of a service economy. While there still are many industries and varying industries, we really need young people who can think critically and communicate and be creative and more active in their learning.” Programs such as the academies, dualenrollment programs with colleges and Advanced Placement courses help students choose the avenues of study — and careers — that are best for them. “Depending upon who you are as learner,” Camhi said, “you may engage in college-level material, but you have options of how you can do that. And I think our emphasis when we think about our school system is really all about (that).” Shouting the district’s accomplishments from the rooftops is one of the ways she attracted the votes of association members, she said. “I spent a lot of time sharing the work we’re doing in Baldwin, and people are very impressed by what’s happening here,” she said. “The number of requests that we have for people to come and learn from us is growing, and I think when peo-

alike. “I just think that there’s a lot of different ways to show your understanding of content and your knowledge and your intelligence,” she said, “and siphoning everybody through one small opening is unfair to most kids … we have to really recognize that we’re dealing with people, young people, and that we have to be flexible in the way that we do that.” Another area Camhi said she would like to examine is school funding. “I think funding schools needs a relook,” she said, “because to me, the work of school systems is fundamental to everything important to our country, and should be at the very top of the list.” She added that she couldn’t stop thinking of the children and teenagers who motivated her to pursue the leadership of the administrators association. “The motivation behind this move was really to shine a big bright light on Baldwin,” she said, “and to let the entire country know that Baldwin as a school system, and Baldwin as a community, is a very, very special place, doing very, very special work.” Camhi, 60, has two master’s degrees — one from Long Island University and another from Adelphi University — and earned a doctorate from Teacher’s College, Columbia University. A former member of the association’s governing board, she is also a graduate of the AASA National Superintendent Certification program.
The New York State Sheriffs’ Association and FirstNet, Built with AT&T, have partnered to launch a statewide health and wellness program that will be available to all 58 county sheriff ’s offices in New York. The new program comes as 177 first responders committed suicide across the country last year. The program includes a four-part approach in an effort to ensure sheriff ’s department employees have access to help, support and training. That includes a new or improved employee assistance program, crisis and trauma training, school resource officer support, and a public service announcement campaign. The sheriffs’ association will provide resources and training to establish new-employee assistance programs, or expand existing programs. Personnel also will receive training from several mental health law enforcement organizations, covering topics like helping those in crisis, advanced crisis intervention, trauma resources, PTSD, suicide prevention, and dealing with a fellow officer’s death. The sheriffs’ association will set up special health and wellness training for all school resource officers who are members of the association’s Committee on Policing and Safeguarding Schools, as a way to tackle school violence. Finally, the association will create videos and other social media elements to deliver the message “It’s OK to not be OK.” The campaign highlights the effect first responders’ service to the community has on tmental health, and raise awareness about resources available.

Teenagers help teach young football players about 80 young players. Meyer, who has been coaching for 20 years, explained that getting the kids acclimated to their teammates early on would help in the long run, since they would likely play alongside one another in years to come. The clinics help them learn what positions work best for them, and without contact drills, the risks associated with blocking and tackling aren’t an issue. Brandon Baily, vice president of the Bombers, said that in addition to refining skills, “It’s a good experience for the older kids to give back to the community with the younger kids, and the younger kids in turn get to look up to these older kids and look forward to playing at the high school.” Three of the teen volunteers were Kwasi Bonsu, 17, Anthony Byron, 16, and Darien Ward, 17. Bonsu, who will be a senior in the fall, said he wished he’d had an event like this when he was younger to learn more about football, since it wasn’t the first sport he played. Starting soccer in kindergarten, he eventually switched to wresting, but was persuaded to play football just last year, after Chimienti discovered him in the wrestling room. On the field last week, Bonsu said he was amazed at how the young kids running the drills already had their positions sorted out. “It’s so crazy to see them be so wise enough to their skill set at a young

About 80 pArticipAnts came to the joint Baldwin Bombers-Baldwin varsity clinic to learn skills applicable to football and life. age,” he said. And Bonsu clearly enjoys being a role model for them. “It’s amazing to see how their eyes glow up when they get to see us do great things and themselves do great things,” he said. Teamwork and the other skills the clinics develop, like self-awareness and decision-making, can help not only on the field but also off it, Bonsu explained. The aim is to help young players grow, and “help them learn how to leave their mark on whatever they do, in their lives and their communities,” he said. And for the volunteer coaches, the clinic is a way for them to leave their mark on Baldwin as well. Byron, who will be a junior at BHS, has been playing football since he was 5. Looking up to older schoolmates when he

started out, he said, helped him, because he wanted to emulate their success on the field. In his years on the playing field, the most important lesson he has learned, Byron said, is to “listen to your coach. The coach knows more than you. They know what’s best for you, and they’re going to guide you and teach you how to develop your skills.” Ward, an incoming senior, had positive things to say about the Baldwin coaches, especially their approach on the days that try stamina and patience. “On those very hot days it’s good to talk to your coach,” Ward said. “When it’s a hot day, you’re tired as hell and you hear him make his calls. We realize now how important he is to our line, that he makes it clear to everybody what our job is supposed to be. It
really helps us out a lot.” Playing football for over a decade, Ward sees how beneficial programs like the clinics can be in shaping the next crop of Baldwin gridiron stars. “It’s always about building upon something,” he said. “If you look at other towns, they have farm programs. Baldwin Bombers need that. If the Bombers come together and have big numbers coming through and have a whole program to raise them from the ground up,” Ward said, that may raise Baldwin football’s profile to the national level. Chimienti, too, sees the strategy in working together with the teams at the clinic. “It’s very important that we built a relationship with the youth football program here,” he said.

he next phase of the Town of Hempstead Vaxmobile is here as it transitions into the Paxmobile. Named after the antiviral therapy Paxlovid used to treat coronavirus infections, the new Paxmobile was unveiled last week at the Oceanside Library by both town officials, and doctors from Mount Sinai South Nassau. Mount Sinai’s mobile vaccination unit was born in January 2021 with nearly $700,000 from the 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act — more commonly known as the CARES Act. The Vaxmobile started making its rounds the same time some of the first vaccines designed to protect people inside the Town of Hempstead from the Covid-19 pandemic started to become available, making regular at businesses, organizations and neighborhoods. More formerly known as Mount Sinai’s Covid-19 Vaccination Mobile Unit, the truck would travel regularly to community centers, public libraries, parks and other public venues on a rotating schedule to administer vaccines and test people for the virus in some of the town’s hardest-hit communities.

“Covid will unfortunately be like the flu and be something that we have to deal with on a regular basis, but we won’t see the number of deaths that we were seeing,” Sharma said. “We’re still in the pandemic right now, but it feels different. Vaccines have made hospitalizations drop, and now this is the next step.” There have been just under 70,000 deaths related to Covid-19 in New York since the start of the pandemic, according to published reports, with nearly 4,000 reported in Nassau County. Nationwide, more than 1 million people have died from Covid-related complications, although those numbers have significantly slowed since the initial rollout of vaccines in early 2021. Where to find the Paxmobile and when can be found online through both the Town of Hempstead and Mount Sinai. Visit HempsteadNY.gov or SouthNassau.org, as well as their social media channels on Twitter and Facebook. Tony Iovino, Oceanside Library’s assistant director, said the library has been critical in spreading the message about the Vaxmobile. That’s what led town officials to make its Paxmobile announcement there. “We were one of the first ones to reach out and say we want to have the truck here, and we publicized it,” Iovino said. “Whenever the truck is here, we share it on all our media channels and make sure our patrons are informed.”

S U M M E R T I M E By Karen Bloom kbloom@liherald.com hether firing up the grill for a pool party, barbecue or even just a weeknight meal, one thing’s for sure: summertime means grilling season. Grilling takes many forms and flavors from casual favorites like burgers and hot dogs, to flamekissed veggies, and the artistry of a steak done to perfection. However, the possibilities don’t end there. By mixing and matching traditional grilled classics with options that have a variety of textures and flavors, you can shake up your at-home menu, and add new favorites to your routine this season. It’s easy to go from casual to elegant in a snap. The tried-and-true always has a place, but shake things up a bit — add some finesse to your menu with other ideas, by re-imagining favorites off the grill.
powder, and whisk until uniform. Cover and refrigerate. To make marinade, in small bowl, combine vinegar with remaining 2 tablespoons mustard. Stir until uniform. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place chicken and marinade in large sealable plastic bag. Remove as much air as possible and seal. Gently knead marinade into chicken through bag. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak 4 in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning. Alternately thread marinated chicken and onion chunks onto 4 skewers. Bring grill to medium-high heat. Brush both sides of kebabs with sauce. Grill kebabs for 5 minutes with grill cover down. Flip kebabs and grill for 6 to 8 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Enjoy.
Peel pineapple; cut into wedges. In re-sealable plastic bag, combine brown sugar, lime juice and honey. Add pineapple wedges, seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour. To make dip: In small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in yogurt, honey, brown sugar, lime juice and lime zest. Cover and refrigerate. Heat grill to medium heat. Remove pineapple wedges from plastic bag; discard marinade. Grill pineapple wedges, covered, 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Serve with dip.
Grilling adds an extra special flavor to corn on the cob. Try it with a lemon chive butter topping.
Grilled Lemon Chive Corn
Kabobs add sizzle to the season. With their easy preparation and quick cooking time, kabobs are a simple way to enjoy many of your favorite fresh flavors.
Spicy Mustard Chicken Kebabs • 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar • 1 pound raw boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes • 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and black pepper • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch chunks To make sauce, place 3 tablespoons mustard in medium bowl.

Buying a gallon of gas on Long Island may be a dollar more expensive now than it was a year ago, but prices continue to fall from their peak above $5 at the beginning of June. The average cost for a gallon of regular gas on the island last week was $4.31, according to AAA. That was down nearly 60 cents from a month ago, but a long way off of 2021’s cost of just $3.20. Diesel fuel is down a dollar from its high of $6.65 on May 20, averaging at $5.61 last week. A gallon of diesel was above $6.25 just a month ago. Overall, a gallon of regular gas in New York is averaging $4.56, compared to $5.03 at the end of June. Diesel is at $5.78. But higher demand could slow how much prices drop in the coming weeks, AAA said, as demand for gasoline jumped nearly 9 percent as July came to a close.

Manhasset, Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, and Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead all received four stars. “I see the amazing effort by Northwell Health team members every time I step inside one of our hospitals,” said Michael Dowling, Northwell’s president and chief executive, in a release. “The mission is a good one — raising the health of the communities that we serve — and I’m proud of the work that we continually put in.” Data for the report was collected between January 2017 and September 2020, but excludes the first six months of 2020 at the height of the pandemic.
Oceanside shopping center sold
Carco Builders has picked up a 14,700-square-foot shopping center in Oceanside for $11 million. Basser Kaufman sold the property at 2860 Long Beach Road near Lincoln Avenue after investing $3 million in building renovations, according to Stephen Preuss of Ripco Real Estate, which handled the sale. Carco has no immediate plans for the property except to continue leasing out space to two existing tenants — Ophthalmology Consultants of Long Island and ProHealth Dental.
PSEG wants to avoid shut-offs
With what is hoped to be the worst of the coronavirus pandemic behind everyone, utilities across the state have returned to interrupting service for nonpayment. That includes PSEG Long Island, which resumed shutoffs last month. However, the utility says it’s working with low- and moderate-income customers to help with bills when possible. Some of those services could include deferred payment agreements and lowincome electric rates. Customers with unpaid balances can call PSEG Long Island at (800) 490-0025.
Google Cloud lends hand to Northwell
Northwell Health has joined forces with Google Cloud in a partnership both companies say will improve patient care, clinician experiences, and to help the health and hospital network operate more efficiently. The new alliance will be paramount in Northwell’s effort to transform digital and connected experiences with the cloud and artificial intelligence. It’s expected to help increase the efficiency of care through digital scheduling, automating payer interactions, and providing intelligent summarizations of medical information. Northwell also is expected to use Google Cloud’s AI and machine learning capabilities to help predict what it needs for capacity planning and scheduling, as well as identifying risk indicators to help with early interventions.

High school football camps open Aug. 22
O
n Aug. 22, all 52 Nassau County public high school football programs will begin preparations for the upcoming season, scheduled to open Friday, Sept. 9, with a handful of games under the lights. Nassau returned to the usual eightgame regular season in 2021 after all scrimmages, two regular-season games, one round of playoffs and the Long Island championships were eliminated the previous season due to Covid-19. Massapequa (Conference I), Garden City (II), Plainedge (III) and North Shore (IV) won county titles and are preseason No. 1 seeds, making them favorites on paper to repeat. Any teams choosing to play a game scrimmage can do so once 10 practices are completed, Section VIII football coordinator Matt McLees said. Most scrimmages will take place Sept. 2 and Sept. 3. “It’s an individual school choice whether or not to game scrimmage,” he said. “Most teams still do.” Garden City, which has captured six straight Conference II titles, is also the reigning Rutgers Cup winner, and has won the trophy given to Nassau’s most outstanding team three times since 2016. The Trojans open at home versus Long Beach, the No. 6 seed. Massapequa is eying a three-peat in

Conference I, and opens at home against No. 9 Baldwin, which returns to the top conference after spending 2021 in Conference II for the first time in team history. Longtime Conference II contender Carey moves to III and opens against Manhasset at home. The Seahawks host Plainedge, which has won three of the past four county titles, in Week 2. North Shore, coming off its first-ever Long Island championship, opens its title defense at home against Locust Valley.
Eight teams switch conferences
Including Baldwin and Carey, eight teams have switched conferences for the
upcoming season. Kennedy, Mineola, South Side and Valley Stream South all bounced away from Conference III. Kennedy and South Side are back in familiar territory in II, with Mineola and Valley Stream South going to IV. Valley Stream Central moved from II to I, and Glen Cove from II to III. In addition, a numbers game forced Friends Academy’s program to join forces with Roslyn.
Notable coaching changes
For the first time since 2006, someone other than Stephen LoCicero is leading Lynbrook as its head coach. Former assistant Dave Yaker takes over the helm of the Owls and will make his debut in the Conference III opener at home versus Glen Cove. No stranger to the East Meadow sideline, Vin Mascia returns to lead the Jets this season for the first time since the 2016 campaign. They open at Plainview. Former Sewanhaka assistant Nick Rawls takes over at Calhoun. The Colts are seeded eighth in Conference II and open at MacArthur. Former Mepham assistant Matt Moody is the Pirates’ new head coach and makes his debut at Elmont. Former Valley Stream North head coach Tom Schiavo is the new head coach at Valley Stream Central. The Eagles open at Farmingdale. Former Lawrence defensive coordinator Pat Palleschi has been elevated to head coach and debuts against Malverne.

No surprise: Couples disagree
Q. I’m an avid reader of your column, and have thought about changes we might make to our home, with lots of concerns. My wife and I don’t agree on certain things. Sometimes your advice makes me skittish about doing anything because, as you explain the regulations, it makes me wonder if what I want to do will ever get done the way I want. Who makes the final decisions about what we can have, my wife and I or the officials? A. That’s a good question. There are so many aspects and people involved, many you will never meet who exercise their own control. You and your wife should sit down together and make a list of the basic things you want to accomplish. You may even want to make the lists separately and then compare. Make three columns: the necesonte eeper sities for repair, the “must haves” for accomplishing your goals and then your wish list. Professional Remodeler Magazine reported that Home Advisor recently surveyed 975 Americans who worked on a home improvement project with a partner, and found that 65 percent of women say they’re the primary decision makers, and 63 percent of men say they are. When disagreements arise, about 30 percent of the partners said they make the decision without telling their significant other. Men said they do not consult the woman 33 percent of the time, while women leave the man out of the decision 25 percent of the time. When it came to discussing compromises, 71 percent of men said they were more likely to bend to their partners’ wishes, while only 51 percent of women say they give in. Budget discussion led to the most difficulties, with paint color right behind, and whether to remove a wall or not was at the lower end of the discussion friction. But that isn’t the end of decision- making. People you’ll probably never meet, like the plans examiners who invoke their interpretation of building regulations (laws) and their particular version of what should be in the plans, such as charts and graphs of windows, doors, energy requirements, zoning data, building code sections spelled out in writing — it’s a long list, and some architects are required to show more items than others, depending on code officials’ requirements and the jurisdiction that reviews the plans. There is no one set of basic requirements for all on a level playing field. Add to that the opinions of architectural review boards you may or may not have a chance to meet with. Forcing a homeowner to have a garage door match an expensive front door is opinion, not a code requirement, for example. Sometimes a contractor may interpret their idea of what they want to do, and you can only hope to get what you want. The most important part of decision-making, for anything in life, is to be flexible, and educate yourselves on what is required versus what is opinion. Good luck!

iven the all-but-declared new cold war between the United States and Russia, it may have seemed unsurprising that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government would announce plans to pull out of its decades-long partnership with the International Space Station, the orbiting laboratory that allows us here on Earth to conduct research in microgravity, biology, physics and other scientific fields. But it is surprising, and troubling, not only for the space station’s future, but for JAMEs international relaas well. BERnsTEin tions Russia is the United State’s major partner on the space station. What is known as the Russian Orbital Segment was built in Russia and is operated by Russian crew members. It handles such key space station components as guidance, navigation and control. Russian, American and other international partners — the European Space Agency, Canada and Japan — have frequently had astronauts aboard the station since it went into low-Earth orbit over 20 years ago.
T
It was a big deal when, in the early 1980s, the Russians agreed to stop their struggling efforts to build a space station on their own and instead to cooperate with the international community, led by the U.S. The agreement was accompanied by much fanfare, with then Vice President Al Gore leading an American delegation that met with top Russian space and government officials. Space is a hostile environment to humans, so the space station had to be constructed in huge parts, lifted into orbit by mighty rockets and assembled by the international partners in a series of exhausting space walks. Human habitation of the ISS began in late 2000, aboard the Russian spacecraft Soyuz TM-31, which had launched that October from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. Can you imagine anything like that happening today? Although the Russians have been fully cooperative over the decades, they have from time to time talked openly of building their own space station and going their own way. NASA officials have generally paid little attention, ascribing it to Russia’s almost constant need to remain competitive with the U.S. But late last month, the Russians began
R
talking once again about their own station. Roscosmos, the Russian space agency, published a long interview with a top Russian space official saying that the agency wants to build, and launch by 2028, its own space station. But on the same day the interview was published, Russia also announced that its crew members on the existing station were working on a cardiac research program designed to help doctors treat heart disease. Publicly, NASA officials are shrugging off Russia’s latest claims, and said the U.S. would continue to act as if nothing had been said about a new station. The work of disconnecting the Russian parts of the existing station would be monumental, and take years. And, NASA officials point out, given Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine and the international economic sanctions against the country, it is unknown how Russia could afford to build its own station, which has cost the international partners many billions of dollars. But NASA and U.S. government officials now have to deal with Putin, who has done more to tear down U.S-Russia relations than any leader since Nikita Khrushchev snuck missiles into Cuba in the early 1960s. NASA and our government also
ecently they have begun talking again about building one of their own.
know that the space station cannot last forever, and that at some point a new one will be needed as a stopping-off point on our way to Mars and maybe elsewhere in our galaxy. As a result, there is more of a sense of concern this time about Russia and its future space intentions. Will the Russians fly away? That concern has been voiced in recent weeks. “We are exploring options to mitigate the potential impacts on the ISS beyond 2024 if Russia does withdraw,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said at a news conference. “For our part, we remain committed to working with ISS partners to ensure the safe operation of the ISS and the astronauts aboard.” The space station would likely continue to do its job without the Russians if they really do withdraw. But beyond the important objectives of space exploration, Russia’s departure would signal something else, and maybe something worse: a further splintering of what was hoped, at one time, to be a new start with the county after the collapse of communism. The U.S., and many in Russia and elsewhere, looked forward to an era of cooperation, scientific and educational advancement, and peace. Those hopes are fading day by day.

Family time on Maine’s rocky seacoast
hings began to go sideways when the rain began, and we broke out the Monopoly set. I try to keep it real when I columnize, and this week I am saying that not every family vacation is perfect every day of the stay. “There are no perfect parents and there are no perfect children, but there are plenty of perfect moments along the way.” — Dave Willis Four weeks ago, we headed to Maine for a long stay, beginning in Kennebunkport, RAnDi then to the PortKREiss land area and then to Bar Harbor. We rented cabins from the usual popular websites, and we were off. We invited our adult kids to come for any part of the time, with the ulterior motive of getting to see the grandkids, ages 19, 17, 15 and 13. Everyone showed up for the same week in Portland. Two adults were almost definitely just over Covid. My grandson came down with a stomach virus the second night, and that triggered a global reaction in our germphobic family. We don’t live near our grandchildren,
so our visits are supercharged with expectations of wonderfulness. The kids met and exceeded our expectations with their kindness and enthusiasm and general good nature. We experienced more issues with our adult kids, who somehow don’t think we should tell them what to do anymore. How can that be right? There was much angst and drama over phones. Your teenagers’ iPhones are now part of vacation planning. Decide when they can use them and when they must be put away. It is the biggest issue of family time.
T
when they played Monopoly when she was 4 years old. It’s tough going broke when you’re 4 and the landlord is your dad. I hadn’t played in decades, and didn’t realize how soul-suckingly endless the game is. And how capitalistic. And white. And meanspirited. The teenage grandkids suggested a Covid version, with a “Go Directly to the Hospital” card and a “Get a Dose of Paxlovid” card and a place on the game board for a homeless shelter. They have very dark senses of humor, but I think they come by their cynical side honestly, having lived through a pandemic. The differences among the generations seemed sharper this time around. I asked if we should watch the new HBO miniseries about Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. They asked if he was “the dude” on the salad dressing bottle. We had our splendid moments and we had our mini-combustions.
rock, but not necessarily in sync. When I watched the charming, life-affirming story “The Durrells in Corfu,” on HBO, I worried. In the 1930s, Mrs. Durrell hauled her kids off to an island in Greece and gracefully negotiated their teenage outrages, missteps, unwanted pregnancies, and run-ins with the law. What about the mosquitoes? They had no screens! Where did they get money and food? In our family dynamic, I teach. I’ve always been a teacher, and I find teachable moments all day in every situation. My grandkids humor me. I want these teenagers to get through this rocky time, solid and whole. I want them to refuse the temptations of easy ways out and easy escapes and easy workarounds when the moment demands focus and dedication and a strong moral compass. I took the opportunity of Maine’s dark night sky to talk to the kids about the Webb telescope, and we looked at the first photos online — the space shots seen around the world. We stood outside our cabin in Cape Elizabeth, under the great black velvet dome, and I wished upon the stars for each of them.

he grankids exceeded our expectations with their kindness and good nature.
“You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.” — Khalil Gibran We were blessed with good weather and nearby fish markets and fresh produce and a grill in the yard. The kids swam in the freezing ocean until a good Samaritan on a surfboard waved everyone out of the surf, miming with his hands that a shark was cruising nearby. Global warming is pushing the sharks closer to shore. We had one day of serious rain, so we broke out the Monopoly set that came with the house. One of my kids immediately banned her dad from playing because she said he had made her cry

It’s time to go to the precinct and vote ... again?
W
ith school board elections and the June primary for the Assembly, it seems we’re making more trips to our polling precinct than we might make to the gym. If only filling ovals on a ballot equaled 30 minutes on the elliptical. But we’ll be called to exercise our civic duty not once more this year, but twice, beginning with a second primary in just a few weeks, on Aug. 23, when we will decide on party nominees for the U.S. House and State Senate races. And then we’ll have to choose from among all of them in November to finally decide who will represent us. And if that weren’t confusing enough, this month’s primary is giving us the chance to do something that none of us have done in a New York election before: vote for candidates from political parties that aren’t our own. It’s not quite the “open primary” in use in a number of states — in which voters can select representatives from any and all parties when there’s more than one candidate — but it’s close. Anyone casting a ballot for this last primary has the option to choose their political party any time up to, and including, primary day itself, meaning that if you’re a Republican and want to cast a ballot in the Democratic primary, all you need to do is re-register. Allowing voters to change party affilia-

letters Count me out of this Democratic fundraiser To the Editor: Did you receive an invitation to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s latest campaign fundraiser? It will be held in East Hampton on Sept. 4, on behalf of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Tickets start at $5,000 for a “friend,” and are $10,000 for a “sponsor,” $25,000 for a “host” or $36,500 to join the “Speaker’s Cabinet.” Paying $36,500 admits you to a private reception with Pelosi before lunch. Her husband might offer some insider information for future stock investments. They might tell you how you can build your net worth up to $100 million like they have. Like most ordinary Long Islanders, I can’t afford the price of admission. I am willing to park limousines, bus tables, mix drinks or check coats in exchange for getting in. Perhaps
tion is nothing new, of course. But the cutoff is generally in February. That changed when courts got involved in the censusfueled redistricting process that ultimately split the primaries to June and August. This could allow for some savvy voters to play spoiler in other political parties. Like in the State Senate’s 7th District, which covers a number of North Shore communities, including Glen Cove and Sea Cliff. Generally, Republicans wouldn’t even need to come out for this race, because there’s just one candidate, the Republican Jack Martins. However, Republicans looking to have a voice in whom Martins faces in November could change their party affiliation to Democratic up until Aug. 23, and cast votes for Jeremy Joseph. If Joseph gets enough votes, he could topple incumbent Democratic State Sen. Anna Kaplan, who’s expected to win reelection otherwise. That strategy could also extend to the congressional races, like in the South Shore seat U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice is giving up. Once again, there’s just a single Republican running — Hempstead Town Councilman Anthony D’Esposito — but five Democrats. Many see that primary race as a battle between Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett and former Town of Hempstead Supervisor Laura Gillen. But non-Democrats could easily jump into that contest and
boost any of the other challengers, like Nassau County Legislator Carrié Solages, or even one of the virtually unknown newcomers, Muzib Huq or Kevin Bryan Shakil. How much of an impact this “open” primary may have is debatable — but as long as the possibility is there, it can’t be discounted. Especially if, as expected, there is low turnout. Yes, district lines have changed, but the adjustments are not as dramatic as they were. And this is yet another call to your local polling place when you’ve already been asked twice before. But don’t let that discourage you from casting a ballot. We tend to think our votes don’t matter, but they do — even when elections aren’t close. Freely expressing a meaningful choice on who should represent you is something not many other countries enjoy. And for us, it’s not a luxury, it’s a right — a right so many have fought (and even died) to protect and preserve for us. If you don’t want to go to the polls yourself, you have until Monday, Aug. 8, to request an absentee ballot. You can also cast your ballot early, between Aug. 13 and 21. For more information on any of this, go to NassauCountyNY.gov/566/Board-ofElections. Sure, another vote a big ask. But it’s also what’s expected of every one of us as Americans.

he beach is cut by the razory icewind — the wreck-guns sound, The tempest lulls — the moon comes floundering through the
drifts. A tall obelisk rises from the heart of Rockville Cemetery, the Lynbrook burial ground that dates back to the earliest days of our nation. It remembers the 139 souls lost in a pair of shipwrecks — just weeks apart — off the shore of Long Island. The Bristol and the Mexico, filled primarily with Irish immigrants seeking a life away MICHAEL from the Great Famine, were HINMAN claimed by the freezing waters in 1836 and the beginning of 1837. Capt. Alexander McKown was guiding the Bristol on only its second voyage, waiting to dock in New York Harbor. As a storm blew in, McKown pushed the ship east, believing the waters around Rockaway Beach were deep enough. They weren’t. The Bristol smashed into a sandbar, and winds and waves started to topple the vessel. McKown did everything he could to save his passengers, moving them to a safer part of the ship and firing his cannons as a cry for help. He could see people
on shore, but knew it was impossible for them to do anything. When help finally did arrive, McKown did his best to get every survivor off the wreck — even if it meant sacrificing himself. “Capt. McKown was the last person to leave the wreck,” according to a story published in The Hempstead Inquirer on Nov. 30, 1836. “He had been repeatedly urged by the boatmen to save himself, but resolutely refused, until all under his care were safe. He had saved nothing; not even the ship’s papers. All his own clothing is lost, and he came ashore in his vest and pantaloons. He was so much bruised and injured by the washing of the waves that he is obliged to be taken to the wreck master’s house. A distance of seven miles from the wreck, where he now lies, seriously ill.” I look where the ship helplessly heads end on — I hear the burst as She strikes — I hear the howls of dismay — they grow fainter and fainter. McKown was a hero, but Capt. Charles Winslow was not. In the final hours of 1836, on New Year’s Eve, Winslow had brought his own ship, the three-masted Mexico, from Liverpool, filled with Irish families optimistic about a bright future in America. Once again, harbor pilots were asleep at the wheel, and once again a storm

LETTErs President Biden’s Department of Homeland Security can schedule one of its midnight flights for illegal immigrants coming over the border to land in the Hamptons. They could mingle with the guests and serve as inexpensive busboys, kitchen staff, bartenders and parking attendants to help keep event costs down for Pelosi & Co. After the event, each guest could take an immigrant home, offer them lodging, food, clothing and a job, and add them to their health insurance plan. LARRY PENNER Great Neck
You’re already paying too much To the Editor: Health insurance providers seek an average rate increase of nearly 19 percent next year for individuals, and more than 16 percent for small group plans, according to published reports. The chutzpah of this request is breathtaking. Health insurance providers have earned record profits throughout the pandemic. Claiming inflation is causing their need to increase their premiums, they
forced a ship out into the open waters, winds propelling it straight for Long Island. The Mexico made it as far as Long Beach, hitting a sandbar, where the ship flooded with icy ocean water. With the Bristol still fresh in his mind, Capt. Raynor “Rock” Smith quickly made his way through complete darkness to the scene. The Freeport wrecking master was ready to save as many as he could. But one of the first people to jump into his boat was Winslow. “He grabbed his sword and the ship’s strongbox, and leaped into the rescue boat,” according to a historical marker in Rockville Cemetery. He left 115 men, women and children behind to “freeze to death on the deck of his ship.” If he and his crew had stayed on the Mexico, they could have easily guided Smith’s rowboat back and forth, and saved most, if not all, of the passengers. It was a tragedy that never should have happened. I cannot aid with my wringing fingers, I can but rush to the surf, and let it drench me and freeze upon me. A mass grave was created at the cemetery for those who were lost, while the people in its surrounding communities pooled their money to build the monument that dominates the historical site
even today. In 1953, it caught the attention of a young Cornell University student who had befriended the Lynbrook village clerk at the time, Harold Dana. “In Lynbrook’s old cemetery on Merrick Road, there stands a white marble monument, 12 feet high and four feet square at the base,” Ruth Bader — the future U.S. Supreme Court justice — wrote in the spring edition of New York Folklore Quarterly. “At the south end of the monument, 139 bodies are buried in two extended rows. The years have not been kind to the inscription carved into the stone. But on close inspection, the story it tells can be read.” It’s said that after these two tragedies, protocols at New York Harbor changed, ensuring there would always be pilots on duty, ready to bring in ships needing to dock. The wrecks also changed the lives of those who witnessed them. Including a young Quaker teenager living in the Village of Hempstead. Walt Whitman would share his haunting memories nearly 20 years later in his poem “The Sleepers,” which was part of the first edition of “Leaves of Grass.” I search with the crowd — not one of the company is wash’d to us alive; In the morning I help pick up the dead and lay them in rows in a barn.

blithely ask the state’s financial services department for an increase more than double the rate of inflation. It is time to spend our dollars more efficiently and stop supporting the profits of a byzantine number of companies, plans and networks. According to the Annals of Internal Medicine, the United States would save $628 billion if administrative costs here were as low as they are in Canada with a single-payer system. Some 20 percent of every premium dollar goes to administration, not to health care. The New York Health Act would provide comprehensive care to every New York resident, and save billions in administrative waste. The plan would cover lifesaving reproductive health care. One plan for everyone would deliver health care more equitably, and would be paid for more equitably by a progressive income tax. Currently, more than 50 percent of New Yorkers are “under-insured” because they simply cannot afford the premiums in a comprehensive plan. It is past time to pass the New York Health Act. Keep this in mind when you vote in November. Support the candidates who support the New York Health Act. HELEN MELTzER-KRIM Bronx
