Dress for Recovery, which helps women with breast cancer, gets useful donation By KEPHERD DANIEl & JoRDAN VAlloNE kdaniel@liherald.com. jvallone@liherald.com
Deciding what to wear is hard enough. But try doing it while fighting breast cancer at the same time. Yet that’s the reality for so many women — and it’s hardly easy. Thankfully, one organization has stepped up to provide a little bit of help. The Evening Star Quilters, a
Mineola-based not-for-profit quilting organization, donated 50 seatbelt covers to Dress for Recovery — a clothing bank at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life, which serves an area that includes Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh. Dress for Recovery was founded by Loraine Alderman of East Meadow back in late 2020. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer the year before, and found that when patients faced
cancer treatments like mastectomies, they often must wear surgical drains to aid recovery. Dress for Recovery provides large shirts with ample space for the drains, as well as various zippers for doctors and nurses to access chest ports for chemotherapy. “There’s not one store in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut where you can walk in and buy this type of clothing,” AlderContinued on page 4

Bellmore-Merrick celebrates Class of 2022
BELLMORE HERALD — June 23, 2022
On a cloudy Sunday, the fields of Sanford H. Calhoun, John F. Kennedy, and Wellington C. Mepham High School were dotted with crowds of families and friends, and respectively the colors blue, green and maroon to celebrate the Bellmore-Merrick graduating classes of 2022. Held in three ceremonies on June 12, one for each school, the weather held out and the classes heard from their valedictorians and salutatorians — Tina Cheng and Kaitlin Bondi of Calhoun, Christopher Prainito and Michelle Brown of Kennedy and Helena Fu and Justin Dioguardi of Mepham. Cheng reflected on goals and striving for perfection. “I hope that each of us can vow to ourselves that in the next few years, we will focus on our own happiness and accept that it is okay if we don’t live up to people’s expectations,” she said. Bondi talked about the “beauty of unpredictability.” “We do not possess the ability to know the future - yet – so acknowledging and appreciating life’s unpredictability is our next best option,” she said. “In this sense, do not dwell too heavily on what could have been or what will be. Relinquish the false sense of control we all think we have over our lives.” Fu told classmates not to think of graduation as conclusion, but rather a continuation. “Rather than being a timeline that we can easily follow, life takes on many different turns,” she said. “Yet our foundations are composed of teachers, administrators, coaches and role models who have taught us how to think for ourselves. You have helped us to foster the growth of the foundation that allows us to branch out into the future.”

Treatment-friendly clothing available to all Continued from front page man said. “They’re only available online, and they’re expensive. We are the only place where people can come and get everything — free of charge. “You need the shirts that open up in the front and have the pocket for the drains. When you go into treatment, if you have a port, it’s helpful to have shirts that have a zipper for the port opening to allow access to treatments.” But it’s not just clothes cancer patients have to worry about. It’s wearing just about anything — including seatbelts. While they’re great for keeping drivers and passengers safe in a car, seatbelts tend to rub against a patient’s torso, Alderman explained, which can cause pain and discomfort on surgery wounds, radiation burns, and raw chemotherapy ports. Seatbelt covers — usually a small, fabric wrap that goes around a seatbelt — offer protection. Chemotherapy ports are normally found on someone’s chest, and are the approximate size of a nickel. Because they are attached to the main artery, Alderman says these ports require a lot of protection. “Most of them are under the skin — they’re inside of you,” added Alderman’s husband, Bill. “So, if (a seatbelt) pushes on it, it really, really hurts.” Catherine Peterson, a member of Evening Star, developed the quilting pattern for the seatbelt covers that could be com-

From that, 50 of these covers were made. “They really picked out beautiful material,” Alderman said. “The craftsmanship was just amazing, I was blown away by what they did. It just shows the person that’s receiving it that care went into it.”

Peterson’s quilters kept in mind personal preferences when making the covers, using a number of colors and patterned fabrics. “I was thinking, when we were making these, you want to have something that appeals to a wide variety of people,” she said. When someone seeks out Dress for Recovery for help, Alderman stops to take the time to meet with them. “We let people choose what they feel most comfortable with,” she said. “There’s so many things that are out of your control when you’re going through this whole process. It’s all these little things that can chip away a little bit of the stress.” Since founding of Dress For Recovery, Alderman has seen the impact the clothing bank has had on those making the long journey through cancer. “When you’re going through treatment, you sit there for many hours and you have a lot of time on your hands,” Alderman said. “We believe that you have to pay things forward, and we couldn’t believe that there wasn’t one store where

We tried to figure out how to make something good out of what was going on.” Dress for Recovery is part of the Chabad’s Circle of Hope initiative, which helps individuals and families coping with breast cancer and other illnesses. Services are offered to everyone, regardless of religious beliefs. Both groups also provide counseling, wigs, food and financial assistance for those facing breast cancer treatment. With the donation of the seatbelt covers, Dress For Recovery can allocate resources to getting more shirts and other items. Working toward raising $20,000 for its own, designated workspace at the Chabad Center, every donation helps. “I wish this was around when I was going through treatment,” Alderman said of her program Dress for Recovery. “We want to let people know that we’re here and everything is free of charge — it’s really about paying things forward and just trying to help other people.”

Summer is here, and that usually means a lot of shuffling of family vehicles to accommodate kids who are home from college, and getting something ready for those who will be starting school in the Fall. Now, with the immense shortage of new cars, which, by the way, I don't understand (Can there really be only one person holding patents on our semi-conductors?), you will have to pay thousands of dollars over sticker price just to get a vehicle right away! As a result, leasing prices have also jumped hundreds of dollars a month as well. Now, more than ever, a good, properly vetted, pre-owned automobile is a smart choice! Yes, even a good, low mileage car has gone up a few thousand dollars, but far less than a new one. Unfortunately, the really inexpensive market doesn't exist in a climate like this. If you need a car for a child just starting out, a good option may be to pass down one of your existing, older vehicles that you trust, and then upgrade yourself to an almost new, low-mileage vehicle and kill two birds with one stone.

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

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

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 was 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 those days of upending incum-
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.

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. bents, 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 “Democratic Party does not do a good job talk-
ing 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 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.”

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

Earlier this month, the Bellmore Memorial Library also hosted its first Summer Reading Club kickoff party, which attracted a crowd of over 400. “They signed up for summer reading, we had an ice cream truck, a DJ,” said Pamela Pagones, the head of the Children’s Department at the Bellmore facility. “It’s been really great having people coming back to libraries.” In May and June, the BML collaborated with the local schools to host field trips, and more students have visited the library. “We’ve been able to increase library card numbers, increase circulation of materials and make them more aware of the programs that we offer,” Pagones said. “We’ve definitely been trying to bring people back to the library.” Patrons who remain cautious will still be able to participate in virtual and hybrid programs, which are still available. “We are still offering some virtual programs — we’ve been able to reach people who we’ve never been able to reach before by doing either the hybrid or just virtual programs,” Pagones noted. “It’s a need that we didn’t even know existed until the pandemic, but it’s been going really well.” The events that make the summer so big for libraries are outdoor concerts, which each of them will be hosting this

All-Star Weekend wraps up a great season
BELLMORE HERALD — June 23, 2022
The Bellmore Merrick Roller Hockey League had a blast during its All-Star weekend on June 18 and 19. The weekend of fun began Friday with the junior and senior division skills competition. The categories for the skills competition included a breakaway challenge for most creativity, a goalie challenge, a hardest shot challenge, a fastest skater challenge, shooting accuracy, and an obstacle course along with shooting accuracy. Winners from the Junior Division included Nico Zummo, Brian Justiniano, Ryan Casella, Ben Margulies, Anthony Gomez, and Nico Buglione. Sophomore winners were Vincent Catalformo, Joseph Adamo, Christopher Keane, Ryder Bachisin, and Luke Padula. The fun continued Saturday with a league barbeque and the All-Star games for each of the league divisions. “BMRH is like no other league around,” said one parent. “My children have become friends with players who live in other towns and attend different schools. We love how my children want to stay at the rink after their game and practice with others while the other games are being played.” The weekend was a big success for the hockey league as parents and kids were able to enjoy great games and celebrate hockey. My child wasn’t selected for the All-Star team but we appreciate how the league wanted to celebrate

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.”

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

JAMes LenTini, LefT, Molloy University’s president, and Edward Thompson — the school’s vice president of advancement — celebrate Molloy’s new university status and a $2 million gift from S. Zaki Hossain. his remarkable generosity.” Hossain immigrated from Bangladesh in 1979, earning a master’s degree in engineering from what was now the New York University Tandon School of Engineering in Brooklyn. 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.”

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
i
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
B
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 resource- rich 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. Elaine Gross is president and chief executive officer of ERASE Racism, the Long Island-based civil rights organization.
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
F
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
N
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

letters Biden’s federal gas tax suspension follies 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 reform. 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

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?

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.

back beforehand. Biden’s was the most egregious example of politicization and tainting of the nominating process, yet one in which relevant criteria were tossed aside. Biden owes America, and Jackson, an apology
for his frivolous and selfish action. I don’t know why Mr. Turchiano didn’t mention this. Perhaps it was a political decision? rOBErT ruBALSKY East Rockaway
