Sharing a steak, or two or three, for veterans

From one rainy night — with steaks, beer, cigars and conversation — came thousands of dollars raised for veterans. The Sons of the American Legion Squadron 1082 held their Steakout fundraiser on Monday, and more than 50 East Meadow neighbors came out to show their support.

After bringing new life to the Sons last year, the officers of the squadron — a group of men who had parents or grandparents that served in the military — wanted to start helping veterans in a big way in the name of their fathers, First Vice Commander

Mark Papagni said. He estimated that between the dinner fee, raffles and donations, the effort raised over $7,000.

“This is going to be our big event,” said Papagni, a financial adviser with the New York Life Insurance Company. “It’s a start.”

All of the money raised at the Steakout had a specific purpose.

A percentage had been pledged to the Bay Shore-based United Veterans Beacon House, a nonprofit veterans service organization. Founded in 1994, it helps more than 800 veterans and their families each year across Long Island.

Weapons and drugs found at jail in East Meadow

By MAlloRY WIlSoN mwilson@liherald.com

Twenty inmates are under investigation at the Nassau County Correctional Facility after weapons and drugs were found in the jail in East Meadow.

The contraband was found during a raid as part of an operation to clean up the jail under the new leadership of Acting Sheriff Anthony LaRocco and Commissioner of Corrections Michael Sposato.

Last week, Sheriff James Dzurenda resigned, and LaRocco was made acting sheriff. County Executive Bruce Blakeman also appointed Sposato, a former

county sheriff, to his new post.

“I authorized (LaRocco) to conduct a shakedown in the correctional facility to be sure that the facility was safe from any weapons, drugs or other contraband,” Blakeman said outside the jail on Sept. 14. “The results of the raid were startling.”

Corrections officers conducted the raid, called “Operation Clean Slate,” and uncovered books with weapons made in the jail hidden inside, a black ceramic straight-edge razor blade with the glove used to make it, two X-Acto razor blades, assorted paper laced with synthetic cannabinoids, and possible narcotics. Assorted pills were found

along with a jail-made bat, a lighter, and numerous other items.

“This is unacceptable, and will not be tolerated as long as I am sheriff,” LaRocco said. “My number one priority will be to keep inmates and our officers safe.”

Blakeman admitted that the officials were shocked by the amount of contraband found.

“From time to time, something’s going to get in,” he said.

“Not just here, but every correctional facility in the United States. It’s not 100 percent foolproof, but we did not expect this amount, and that’s why I have a new leadership team here.”

LaRocco announced that an ongoing investigation would be conducted to determine how the contraband was smuggled into the correctional center, and those responsible will be held accountable. Blakeman pointed out that the incident has been handed to the Nassau County Police Department’s Third Squad for an investigation.

There’s no protocol in place at the jail stating how many raids or sweeps are to be conducted, but no one at the facility knew when the last one had been conducted.

“Criminal activity did not end with incarceration, but continued behind bars for these indiContinued on page 5

he East Meadow Chamber of Commerce’s inaugural fall festival took place from Sept. 15 to 18 at Eisenhower Park, and it was a success.

For four days community members and Long Islanders near and far came out to enjoy what the fall festival had to offer.

Rides, games, food, entertainment, and craft tents were available for people to peruse.

The plan for this festival had been in the works for a year, but the idea of having a festival like this for the East Meadow community had been on the mind of Mitchell Allen — the developer and senior chairperson for the event, and past chamber president — since before the coronavirus pandemic.

The weekend was packed with live music, face painting, balloonists, and magic shows.

There was something for everyone. All of the money raised at the festival will be seen in the community, according to Allen.

“Every dollar that’s generated goes back into the community, not one dollar is being kept by the Chamber of Commerce in any way, shape, or form,” he said to the Herald earlier this month.

“It’s all going to our membership.”

Be a goldfish.

That’s the rallying cry being used by the East Meadow boys’ soccer team as it tries to get out of the funk it has found itself in in recent seasons.

The Jets have dropped four in a row after taking the season opener, including a 5-2 defeat against Hempstead last Saturday. The team’s only win was a 2-1 victory over Port Washington on Sept. 8 that ended a 12-game winless drought (0-8-4) that concluded the 2021 campaign.

So, to keep his players’ spirits up, coach Bryan Horrmann is using the metaphoric freshwater fish phrase made popular by the Apple TV show “Ted Lasso”, which was uttered during an exchange between soccer coach Lasso and one of his players who was just deked badly and verbally embarrassed by a member of the opposition.

“One of the lines [Ted] used is what’s the happiest mammal on the planet?”

Horrmann explained. “And it ended up being a goldfish because goldfish have 10-second memories. So, you just gotta move on to the next game. We don’t focus on the past, we don’t focus on mistakes.”

But the Jets’ 1-4 record may not tell the whole story. The Jets have either led or been tied at halftime in each of the first four games and the offense is showing signs of life with nine goals in five games after being shut out in five straight last October and seven times overall in 2021.

“It’s nice to see because they’re taking more risks [and] we’re doing more finishing drills,” Horrmann said. “It’s encouraging, especially from last year.”

Sophomore Dylan Wauchope has provided plenty of excitement on offense with six goals, including two each against Uniondale and Hempstead, and his second-half tally against Port Washington proved to be the game winner.

“He’s going to get stronger [and] he’s going to get faster, which is great,” Horrmann said. “He’s very crafty and thinks quick on his feet. He can get out of very tight spaces. Very confident with the ball.

Senior Lucas Tobar and juniors Robert Derwin and Raymond McLeod were the other Jets to find the net so far this fall.

All three are team captains along with defenseman Evan Weinstein, who has two assists.

Midfielder Jayson Torres has been solid with his defensive positioning, poise, and ability to distribute the ball down the middle, according to Horrmann, and fellow junior Alex Nicolaou can play multiple positions thanks to his strong foot and dependable play on defense.

McLeod’s versatility lends him to play outside back, outside midfielder and forward.

The team has other young defensmen with plenty of potential in Weinstein and Andrew Velasquez at center back and freshman David Flores at left back.

Junior goalkeeper Jack DeVoti is averaging almost seven saves a game and made a highlight-reel stop against Plainview JFK on Sept. 10, when he punched away a shot heading for the top corner.

Supporting veterans locally and Island-wide locations across Nassau and Suffolk counties, with 25 of the homes for veterans only. The organization also helps veterans find jobs, pay their utility bills and arrange funeral services.

“Some of them don’t want any help,” Post 1082 Commander Pete Wenninger said of some homeless veterans. “But they still need a square meal, they need a bunk and furniture.”

Wenninger stressed how important it is to help homeless veterans, because coming home from war is not easy.

Minds have been altered, post-traumatic stress disorder has taken effect, and many vets don’t know how to rejoin society, he said.

“These are programs that need to be enhanced by government,” Wenninger said of Beacon House. “You go and reach out to places like Beacon House, who will give you a bunk, give you a square room with a dresser, and patio furniture, and then they have a chance to decompress or a place to feel safe.”

Some of the money will stay at the East Meadow legion, and will help it create its own color guard — including official uniforms, from shoes to shirts to hats. “We want them to look real crisp,” Papagni said. “Just like the military.”

There were a host of raffles to be won on Monday, and most of the winnings came from East Meadow businesses. “I went to businesses in East Meadow, and

More than 30 local businesses either provided gift cards or other items to be raffled off, and others donated cash.

Jake’s Steakhouse, on Hempstead Turnpike, donated the steaks. Businesses beyond East Meadow contributed as well.

“I’m so appreciative,” Papagni said.

“Everyone I asked stepped up when they heard it was for the veterans.”

Some people who couldn’t come to the event donated money by buying dinner

for a veteran.

“It’s a great place to give back to these guys that have given us so much over the years,” Legion member Walter Skinner, of the Skinner Agency, a subsidiary of Allstate Insurance, said. “It’s great that (Papagni) involved businesses to get the funds and support from the community.”

After the revamp of the Sons of the American Legion Squadron, the group now has over 50 members. Ultimately, Papagni said, it’s all about the service.

“I’m not a police officer, I’m a financial services guy,” he said. “I can’t help out the way they help out, so I figured out another way. I teach my son how to do service, and that’s what it’s all about, and now they’ve become my friends.”

“We have a family here at the American Legion hall,” Wenninger said.

Animal shelter says to ‘Adopt, don’t shop’

By MICHAEL MALASZCZYK mmalaszczyk@liherald.com

On the lookout for a new, four-legged member of the family? Officials with the Town of Hempstead say you don’t have to look any further than its Wantagh-based animal shelter.

Town officials have picked up and sheltered animals off the street since Woodrow Wilson was president, now housing dogs and cats at 3320 Beltagh Ave. It boasts one of the highest adoption rates of any animal shelter, despite being the only one inside the country’s largest township.

“Our main thing is stray animals — most of our calls are that a dog is running loose,” said Ashley Behrens, the shelter’s assistant director. “But the other thing is if someone has to move and can’t bring the pet where they’re moving, or if a family member becomes allergic.”

The animals don’t spend all of their time at the shelter, however. Very often, the animals are sent out to loving foster homes where they get to live the kind of carefree existence the rest of us envy while awaiting adoption.

“Sometimes these animals can get sick in the shelter,” Behrens said. “Cats are especially susceptible to upper respiratory infections, sometimes from the stress of being in a shelter. And it’s good to send them to a foster home to recover.”

The animals are, nevertheless, in seemingly good care at the facility, with dedicat-

ed staff and volunteers taking care of them on a daily basis. The dogs are brought outside into a yard for social interaction, and are also walked.

“We have volunteers who do a lot of hands-on training with them,” Behrens said. “We do an enrichment program for the dogs, and we always treat them to toys filled with peanut butter and such.”

Cats get a similar deal, although their days are more focused on social interaction with human volunteers. And while both dogs and cats are kept busy, their cages are cleaned.

What sets the town’s shelter apart from others is its “trap, neuter, return” — or TNR — program for cats. Many of these felines are feral, and simply too wild to be welcomed into a family’s home. But through trapping and neutering, the shelter can return these animals back to the familiar territory they found them, all while ensuring they won’t add to the exploding feral population.

“Because we are a government agency, we don’t get to choose the animals we bring in the way private shelters do,” Behrens said. “But we have a great TNR program.”

Trapping, neutering and returning cats likely plays a small part in fighting the puppy and kitten mill epidemic as well, shelter officials said. These “mills” are typically non-reputable breeders who reportedly don’t treat their bred animals with as much esteem as they should. They

Courtesy Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter

tend to be known for caring more about profit than the animals, and still attract a lot of support from various pet stores looking to stay well-stocked.

But even with high adoption rates, finding homes for many of the dogs and cats at the town shelter isn’t easy. Stigma is partially to blame, with many believing shelter animals are there because they are dangerous, or for some other nefarious reason.

Yet, the vast majority of the animals taking up residence in the town shelter are there simply because they have nowhere they can go. Shelter employees evaluate the dogs and cats there regularly

for how aggressive they are around food, how they react to strangers, and how well they get along with their fellow pets.

“We give all of the information out to adopters on how these animals have done on the tests,” Behrens said. “Of course, shelter behavior isn’t always translated into the home. So that’s why we recommend a foster period for potential adopters as a trial.”

Anyone looking to give it a try can do it for just $25 by visiting the shelter at 3320 Beltagh Ave, anytime Sunday through Saturday between 9 a.m., and 5 p.m.

Turkish family continues its Hislon legacy

By ALEXA ANDERWKAVICH aanderwkavich@liherald.com

It’s been 12 years since Jeff Kaspar brought Hislon from Turkey to Long Island. But the owner of Hislon Jewelers is finding plenty of success — so much, he’s opened a second location in Merrick.

No longer producing his renowned Hislon Watches, Kaspar’s second store is the rebirth of a family legacy, and an homage to a century-long lineage of artisan jewelers.

“We want to continue our quality service and our close relationship with our returning customers at our second location, as the business continues to grow and thrive with the support of new and loyal customers,” said Adrien Ricci, Hislon’s business and marketing manager, and Kaspar’s wife.

Jewelry runs within the blood of this family. Some might even go as far to say they are partially made of gold. Kaspar’s father, grandfather — Roje Hisarli — and great-grandfather, Leon Hisarli, have been in the business for decades, making Hislon Watches a well-known name across Europe.

By the 1960s, Hislon was worn among both younger and older generations because of the fine craftsmanship and alluring detail.

When Roje died in 1998, an Istanbul

The shop has its roots in the famous Hislan Watches, from Jeff Kaspar’s family. magazine published an obituary sharing the great sorrow Turkey felt in losing a true watchmaker who played a crucial role in bringing up the watch and jewelry industry within their communities.

Now, Kaspar shares his family tradi-

tion that blossomed in Europe by planting roots here and continuing the timeless craft of watchmaking as well as designing and selling jewelry on Long Island.

Kaspar enjoys repurposing jewelry and creating something new from a pre-

cious item. He also likes to restore jewelry to its former glory, and of course, being part of the process of finding the perfect piece.

“Jeff adores designing engagement rings and being part of the couple’s special moment,” Ricci said. “It creates a lifelong connection with the store.”

Hislon Jewelers offers on-site ear piercing, jewelry repairs and professional engraving at its new 2164 Merrick Road location. It also provides a wide variety of watch brands — Kaspar’s second love — and is the only private jewelry store to be an authorized Pandora retailer.

Fine jewelry includes sterling silver, yellow and white gold, gemstones, beyond diamonds, and of course, diamonds.

Just as the Hisarli family grew to be a part of their community by becoming a common icon — laid on the wrist of generations of people in Turkey, Switzerland and across Europe — Kaspar knew that establishing a connection with the locals is an important part of the business.

“We hope that this continues to be a family business and would like to create a strong foundation with the community,” Ricci said. “We get a lot of value in that and creating deep roots with Merrick and hope to become the ‘got-to’ jewelers on the South Shore.”

One New York City.

Gangstagrass

By Karen Bloom

The iconic city never ceases to fascinate. It elicites strong opinions from those who simply can’t get enough of the Big Apple, and from the naysayers who prefer to stay away. But one thing’s for certain: NYC surely captures our attention.

And throughout the decades it’s captured the eye — and lens — of photographers who are enthralled by “the city that never sleeps.”

Hofstra University Museum of Art reaches into its vast collection again to continue the fall exhibit season with “New York, New York: Photographs from the Collection.”

These 45 photographs capture New York City in its infinite complexity and variety, not only celebrating the city’s evocative architecture, but reveling in its everyday streets and signage, authentic faces, and dynamic street scenes. The blackand-white images were made over a span of 75 years — from 1932 to 2008 — yet are unified through the use of monochrome, creating connections between disparate decades.

While the photographers — including Berenice Abbott, Diane Arbus, Andreas Feininger, Harold Feinstein, Donna Ferrato, Joel Meyerowitz, Dorothy Norman, and Garry Winogrand — are not all native New Yorkers, they are inheritors of this miraculous city, dedicated to seeking its intricacies, grandeur, joy and hardships. Their distinct vision chronicles a city that continually reinvents itself.

“We haven’t done an exhibit When: Through Dec. 9 focusing on photography in some years,” says museum Where: Emily Lowe Gallery, director and curator Karen Albert. “This is another behind Emily Lowe Hall, opportunity to showcase one of the strengths of our Hofstra University’s collection.”

South Campus The exhibit — guest curated by photographer For more information, Susannah Ray, a former adjunct Hofstra faculty member and to RSVP for tour, call — is grouped into four segments. The “Iconic City” (516) 463-5672, or examines the skyline and signage, celebrating the city as visit Hofstra.edu/museum both a symbol and a place.

“This is the traditional image people have when they think of Manhattan,” notes Albert.

“Streetscapes and Signage” is building focused, also including handmade signs and ads that were — and still are — aimed at grabbing the attention of pedestrians rushing from one block to the next. “New York Portraits” is a look at real life, and real people populate the city streets, clubs and living rooms.

Finally, “Street Scenes” offers images of the city, pulling the entire exhibit together.

These are what Ray describes as “a quintessential New York photograph, which combines iconic architecture, everyday streets, and idiosyncratic people into one rapidly observed composition: the street photograph. They describe everything that might happen in a given second in New York, and remind the viewer that there is always more happening just around the next corner. The photographers spent lifetimes to craft their visions, returning again and again to photograph this ‘helluva town.’”

Of note, Albert cites Andreas Feininger’s photo of an elevated trestle. “It’s a classic image of a New York that doesn’t exist anymore, with the lights filling onto the downtown streets below.”

Another by Diane Arbus, of a young man in curlers, “is a good representation of Arbus’ work seeing people in all aspects of society.”

The public is invited to a curator’s gallery tour at the Emily Lowe Gallery, Thursday, Oct. 6, at 4 p.m. Ray will share insights about what she selected during the tour.

Gangstagrass brings together different kinds of American music and creates a whole new category, greater than the sum of the parts.

As their latest album, ‘No Time For Enemies,’ climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart, Americana Highways magazine proclaimed the Emmy-nominated bluegrasship hop ensemble ‘America’s Band’ because they take so much of what’s amazing about this country — ingenuity, creativity, freedom, unity across differences, people’s individual strength and struggles — and distill it into a message of common ground in the form of original songs that have everyone up and dancing.

Hailed by many as the perfect musical comedy, this Tony-winning favorite follows a rowdy bunch of gamblers, gangsters and sassy showgirls in a wild game of chance — then love sneaks in. Set in bustling 1950s Manhattan, the beloved classic features some of Frank Loesser’s most memorable tunes, including the hilarious ‘Adelaide’s Lament,’ and the crowd-pleasing classic ‘Luck Be a Lady,’ along with other favorites, including ‘Sit Down, You’re Rockin’ The Boat.’

Delivering dollars to combat opioid addiction

By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

Nassau County has nearly $70 million collecting a little dust in a bank account — but not for long. County Executive Bruce Blakeman has earmarked $2.5 million for opioid addiction treatment, and local hospitals, clinics and other community organizations should expect millions more.

“We are committed to make sure that all of the money goes toward the three goals that the money was provided for,” Blakeman told reporters last week. “That is prevention, education and treatment.”

The money was part of a $26 billion national settlement with opioid distributors last February — AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson — as well as Johnson & Johnson for what has been alleged as their role in creating the opioid addiction epidemic in the first place.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services officially declared it a public health emergency in 2017 — the same year more than 600 people on Long Island died from opioid overdoses, according to a 2019 report from the Fiscal Policy Institute.

The $70 million represents just about 7 percent of the funds allocated to New York intended specifically for Nassau, first hammered out more than a year ago.

The money, Blakeman said, will go a long way to reducing the strain on health

Will Sheeline/Herald

NaSSau CouNty ExECutIvE Bruce Blakeman says he’s directing nearly $2.5 million toward opioid addiction treatment centers. It’s all part of a broader $70 million the county received from the historic $26 billion nationwide settlement with opioid distributors and manufacturers, in an effort to get the opioid addiction crisis under control. care providers and addiction specialists.

The county already is working on spending another $15 million — something the county executive says he hopes can be an annual disbursement to help combat the opioid epidemic.

But although there is still a lot of money left, Blakeman says his adminis-

tration is working slowly and carefully to ensure all funds go exactly where they’re needed.

Nassau County Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton, representing the county’s minority caucus, emphasizing the historic importance of the donations while hoping Blakeman and Republicans might

move faster to get the $70 million distributed to those who need it most.

“I’m so glad that these opioid companies are finally being held responsible for what they’ve done to our kids,” DeRiggiWhitton said. “In my opinion, I support (Blakeman) for being careful. But I also really hope we expedite this as quickly as possible.”

Matthew Bruderman, chair of Nassau University Medical Center’s board of directors, made it clear to reporters last week that time alone hasn’t made the crisis any better in the county, Long Island, or the United States. Without funds like these, hospitals and community health organizations are ill-prepared to deal with the scope of the issue.

“We all know the opioid epidemic and drug addiction is damaging the lives of many people across the country,” Bruderman said. “NUMAC is the only hospital on Long Island that has an in-patient detox facility. (Yet), 90 percent of the time, we are at full capacity.”

Nassau County’s new health commissioner, Dr. Irina Gelman, praised the county’s commitment to improving public health, making her job much easier.

“I think this funding will be instrumental in really starting to address the issue at hand, and provide necessary services to our community,” Gelman said.

“As the county executive said, this is only the beginning. And I’m definitely looking forward to more to come.”

Danielle Tomlin’s fifTh grade class at Barnum Woods Elementary School discussed the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

East Meadow students honor anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001

T

hroughout the day on Sept. 9, students from the East Meadow School District took time to reflect on the events of Sept. 11, 2001. Each school recognized the 21st anniversary of the day with age-appropriate conversations and activities.

At Barnum Woods Elementary School, kindergartners wore red, white and blue and colored an American flag. First grade students discussed heroes and how they can show gratitude to those who act heroically in their own community. Fourth grade students created patriotic quilts to demonstrate their respect and appreciation for the country and to honor the heroic action of the nation’s heroes.

At Parkway Elementary School, Mrs. Wylie’s fifth grade class conducted a firefighter simulation stair climb to recognize the firefighters who climbed the stairs at the Twin Towers. After completing the challenge, students discussed why it was important for them to complete this symbolic experience.

At East Meadow High School, the social studies department crafted lesson plans to

teach students about the events of Sept.

11, 2001 and how it changed the world.

During the day, teachers led students through the hallway, where the names of all of those who tragically passed were displayed on the walls. Students then visited the school’s 9/11 memorial, consisting of two trees to signify the Twin Towers, as well as a small piece of the World Trade Center. American flags were planted in the memorial and all staff were provided with American flag pins to stand in unity of remembrance.

At W.T. Clarke High School, students and teachers teamed up to create a 9/11 exhibition, which presented the history of Sept. 11, its origins, and its ongoing implications through the personal stories of those who witnessed and survived the attacks. This exhibition included archival photographs and images of artifacts from the 9/11 Museum’s permanent collection.

Ask The Architect

The exchange of money should go hand in hand with a good contract, one that protects both parties.

Payment creates good faith, and allows a company to devote its staff and resources.

It takes time to prepare plans — more than the average person realizes — due to regulations, problem-solving and a lot of onte eeper limitations. Expecting an architect to carry the costs to pay their expenses as a favor to the owner is unrealistic. People often forget that the plans prepared, signed and sealed by an architect or engineer are a part of the contract to the contractor. Plans are a critical component, because they show what is expected to be completed by the contractor. Unfortunately, many people, including owners and contractors, believe that plans are a how-to manual for building. In fact, plans represent what the results are intended to be.

Not paying a down payment, upfront, gives the architect and the contractor very little ability to commit resources, including their time, to carrying out the first steps in their parts of the process to get you a meaningful result. Everyone has bills to pay, and expenses like overhead insurances, license fees and equipment costs, aside from groceries, mortgages and taxes. Expecting anyone to fulfill the tasks you hire them for without the ability to pay their bills is the beginning of misunderstandings and miscommunication.

Most government contracts I’ve seen include major delays in payment, from months to years, where it is expected that companies that will ultimately get paid far more than what a private project would cost have to wait. This waiting creates a situation in which companies either borrow money or take money from one customer to cover the costs of another customer’s project. In essence, not paying in a timely manner but expecting results creates a Ponzi scheme that nearly every company has to develop to survive. Small businesses take money from one customer to cover costs while trying to finish and get paid by the one before.

When you delay, underpay or shortchange the people providing a service, you’re part of the whole economic roller coaster that causes many businesses in your local community to fail in the first five years. Prevent this instability by looking for reputable companies, have a good contract and accept that you are half of a commitment. Good luck!

vated, and we’re talking to three contractors. Each one wants a large amount of money to start the job.

Our architect also got more than a third up front, and we were concerned about that, too. Now the contractors want between 25 and 30 percent of the total cost, upfront, and won’t start the job without it. Why does it have to be so much, and how do we protect ourselves if they take our money and run away? Our neighbor had that happen to them. What if we hold back money? Do you have any suggestions?

he world continues to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II while welcoming a new sovereign, King Charles III. Charles waited 70 years to become king since being named the Prince of Wales — the heir apparent to the British throne.

That’s longer than any other prince or princess in the direct line. And, at 73, he is the oldest monarch crowned in British history.

Like his mother, Charles chose to keep the name given to him at birth. His grandfather Albert was the last to change MiCHAEL his regnal name, choosing George HinMAn VI to honor his father.

King Charles III is the first Charles on the throne since Charles II, who reigned for 25 years after the restoration of the British monarchy from Oliver Cromwell in 1660.

The United States, of course, has been officially separated from what was once the British Empire since the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. But I actually lived under the reign of Elizabeth II for two years when I called the small Caribbean island of Grenada home. Although

i

independent from Britain, too, Grenada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations — 56 former territories that still recognize the British monarch as head of state.

Oddly enough, however, my family has a deeper connection to the throne — that is, if longstanding legend is to be believed.

My great-great-greatgreat-great-great-great grandfather, Sgt. Edward Hinman, arrived in Boston from England in late 1649, eventually settling in Fairfield County, Connecticut.

Although he and many of his descendants would help settle key parts of that colony, Sgt. Hinman rarely talked about his life before he crossed the Atlantic.

One story was popularized in the late 19th century, however, by Connecticut’s then-secretary of state, Royal R. Hinman.

In a book he published in 1856, Royal claimed that his great-grandfather had actually led the guard tasked with protecting King Charles I, who took the throne in 1624.

If that story is indeed true, my ancestor wasn’t exactly a great kingsguard. The reign of Charles I ended abruptly in 1649 when he found himself on the wrong side of an executioner’s ax during Cromwell’s revolt. But it was that war — and that exe-

i

cution — that forced Edward to flee England and seek refuge in the colonies.

It’s a fascinating story, but one I didn’t even know until the coronavirus pandemic. While I’ve always been fascinated by genealogy, I usually spent my time researching my mother’s side of the family, which has some of its own interesting history. I shied away from my father’s because no one in the family ever talked much about it.

I suspected we migrated over in the 19th century, and decided it was time to find out. As I worked my way backward through ancestors, I was shocked to discover that each passing generation was still in America.

Where I once thought I was a third- or maybe fourth-generation American, I am actually a part of the 10th generation of Hinmans here.

I also picked up some other fascinating tidbits along the way. My family moved from Connecticut to Vermont, and from there to western New York, about the same time that Royal Hinman was writing his books.

My great-great grandfather, Franklin Hinman, owned lots of farmland in Ellicottville, now probably best known as a ski resort community just south of Buffa-

f longstanding legend is to be believed, my family has a connection to the throne.

lo.

His youngest son — my great-grandfather, born when Franklin was 51 years old — was the postmaster in one of the small communities near Ellicottville. My dad was born and raised just south of there, in Salamanca, on reservation land controlled by the Seneca Nation of New York.

Despite that connection — and the fact that I still have a number of relatives in that part of the state — none of us knew that the land once owned by Franklin is now known as Hinman Valley. Well, more specifically, the Hinman Valley Wetland Complex, a 100-acre marsh and wet meadow overseen by the state’s environmental conservation and transportation departments.

As you’re reading this, I’m back home in that part of the region, and I could very well be making my first-ever visit to these lands so closely connected to my family’s history.

And I certainly hope for a successful reign of Charles III — something leaps and bounds ahead of the previous sovereigns to take his name.

But if I can make one suggestion to the king: Best to make sure your guard isn’t led by a Hinman. There isn’t good history there.

Work for Donald Trump, wind up in handcuffs

s that the scent of autumn apples in the air? No, I believe that’s the smell of subpoenas, dozens of subpoenas served in recent weeks to Trump employees, former employees, White House staff and basically anyone and everyone whose behavior, emails, texts and experiences might help illuminate the dark corners of the former Trump administration.

Who lurks in those dark corners? According to early reports, there are big-time grifters like Steve Bannon, now indicted for fraud, money laundering, conspiracy RAnDi and scheming in KREiss connection with raising money for We Build the Wall Inc., the former guy’s plan to keep out Mexican immigrants.

Bannon, long associated with Trump, ran a media empire, and now he’s in handcuffs, awaiting trial. Even a degree from the Harvard Business School didn’t make Bannon smart enough to steer clear of Trump.

The Trump curse goes way back. During his tenure, I wrote, “If the White House calls, just hang up. Put down your

phone, run out of your house, change your number and move to a remote town where you can live off the grid for the rest of your life.”

Sadly the words were prophetic. Many people would be better off today if they had never been drawn into Trump’s orbit.

Ronnie Jackson, the presidential physician from central casting, might have continued to serve presidents for decades, enjoying the perks and power that access to the White House confers. But Trump decided to promote him to secretary of the Veterans Administration. Unvetted, inexperienced and apparently fatally flawed, Jackson rapidly crashed and burned as a prospective secretary.

Rob Porter, Hollywood handsome and popular among his colleagues, was enjoying his high-profile job as the president’s top aide. Porter was a rising star until the Trump spotlight revealed his dark side.

Two of his wives went public with accusations of mental and physical abuse.

There were photos. Porter took the exit.

Tom Price — do you even remember him? He was the secretary of Health and Human Services for seven months. He might have continued his career else-

M

where without incident, but in the Trump administration, he took 25 private flights in a few months, spent like he was queen for a day and resigned amid charges of indiscriminately using taxpayer dollars for his personal benefit. Gone.

I imagine Paul Manafort has mixed feelings, at best, regarding his association with Trump Inc. Manafort, charged by the feds with various financial crimes, might have continued living the high life, consorting with oligarchs and lining his pockets, if not for Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency. Under the scrutiny that accompanies high office, Manafort proved to be a liability to Trump, and vice versa. He served time in jail and, in 2020, was pardoned by Trump.

Michael Cohen, the former guy’s longtime personal lawyer, was known for his fierce loyalty to Trump. For decades he basked in the celebrity surrounding his boss, and ran interference for him.

Maybe some people didn’t like his style, but his boss did, and that’s what counted.

That was then. Now Cohen is rehabilitating his reputation after serving jail time and losing his law license.

Among the other movers and shakers

any folks would be better off today if they had never been drawn into his orbit.

who got in serious legal trouble are Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s CFO, Mike Flynn, Rick Gates, Ken Kurson, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Corey Lewandowski, Elliot Broidy, Imaad Zuberi, Rep. Chris Collins, and so on.

Space limitations prevent me from listing all the miscreants associated with Trump. Some went to jail, some got pardoned by Trump, and some never got over the trauma of the Trump White House years. I do wonder if the individuals were corrupt, and therefore drawn to the Trump enterprises. Were they rotten apples, or was the barrel corrupt?

What stands out is the number of people who bent and broke the law in the service of Trump, his businesses and his administration.

Who came out unscathed? Richer?

Rewarded by a job well done? Only Trump has so far avoided accountability for his alleged misdeeds. He’s still rich, he plays golf, he eats well and he is free.

He enjoys all the perks of being a former president. Many of the people who served him are still digging their way out of legal troubles.

As the Department of Justice lets loose its flight of subpoenas, we will see if the Trump curse finally comes home to roost.

Closing one chapter, but preparing for the next

“t

he pandemic is over.”

With those words last weekend, President Biden declared an end to the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 6.5 million people, and more than 1 million in the United States.

Of course, the pandemic won’t truly be over until the World Health Organization says so. But even if public health officials do determine that we’re out of this crisis, the virus that causes Covid-19 is still out there. It’s still infecting people. It’s still killing people. It’s still creating long-term health effects for many who contract it.

Still, to feel like life may finally return to normal is a relief. It’s been more than 900 days since New York first shut down as Covid cases exploded. Schools and businesses shuttered. Streets emptied.

Many people found themselves isolated from the rest of the world, connecting only through Zoom and depending on television specials like “Haircut Night in America” to help with basic tasks for which we once depended on others.

Now that we can sit in restaurants again, attend classes, and pay for someone else to cut our hair, it’s hard not to be grateful that the worst is behind us. But society has a long road to recovery — both economically and socially. Supply chains remain disrupted, fueling inflation. Many people are still out of work, even as unemployment returns to pre-

letters Is it all Trump’s fault, Jerry Kremer?

To the Editor: Jer ry Kremer’s column “Thoughts on saving the two-party system” (Sept. 8-14) expresses a valuable goal, but his analysis — the usual, and now tiresome, “It’s all Trump’s fault” — misses the cause.

Of course it would great if, as in past generations, there was ideological room in both parties for a variety of viewpoints. Richard Nixon — another bête noir of Mr. Kremer’s party — warned of this long ago, in 1959, when he said, “I think one of the attributes of our political system has been that we have avoided generally violent swings in administrations from one extreme to the other. And the reason we have avoided that is that in both parties, there has been room for a broad spectrum of opinion.”

Of course, Mr. Kremer’s party thought that Nixon was the worst

pandemic levels.

Polarization — especially the political variety — remains sharper than ever.

And it’s only been in the past couple of weeks that we could officially stop wearing masks on public transportation, although many stopped doing it months ago.

As the pandemic winds down, it’s never too soon to start planning for the next one. Sure, this has felt like a once-ina-lifetime event, but it really isn’t. When we first learned of Covid, the world was already in the grip of another pandemic: HIV/AIDS, which has killed more than 40 million people.

Before that, we had two other smaller flu pandemics, in the late 1950s and late 1960s, each of which killed up to 4 million people. And then there was the 1918 flu, which is believed to have claimed the lives of as many as 100 million people around the globe.

If there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s that Mother Nature has no shortage of infectious diseases. Even in the wake of Covid, we’ve been reminded about the dangers we face by the recent monkeypox epidemic, and the fear that there may be a resurgence of polio.

One thing that should be crystal clear by now, however, is that pandemics and epidemics do not need to be a way of life.

Many of them are preventable, or at worst, manageable. But that means better

monitoring of hot spots where deadly viruses can jump from animals to humans. Identifying new public health concerns quickly. And then taking them seriously.

With false alarms in the past like Ebola and SARS, it’s no wonder so many of us had become complacent by the time the coronavirus rolled around. We can’t let that happen again. What we have built as a society is too important. We are too important.

There are some scholars who are convinced that nothing has had a greater impact on our history than pandemics and epidemics. The bubonic plague, for example, cut down half of the global population, by some accounts.

But what you might not know is that that plague didn’t ravage the planet just once — it turned living into a literal coin flip twice. We’re most familiar with the Black Death of the 14th century, which killed as many as 200 million people. But there was also the Plague of Justinian in the sixth century, which was proportionately just as deadly.

We can wear masks when needed. We can avoid contact when asked. And we can get vaccines when they’re available.

But our true first line of defense is our leaders. And it’s hoped that no men or women who succeed Biden will ever again find themselves needing to declare a devastating pandemic finally over.

he official announcement has been made: Dr. Kenneth A. Card Jr., superintendent of the East Meadow School District, is retiring. Many of us have known for some time, but that doesn’t minimize the impact of this announcement on those who had the honor of working for him.

Talented, ethical leaders are rare, even more so in our current paradigm of notoriety over substance.

I wish Dr. Card success and happiness in his retirement; this point in time for him was well earned. He paTriCk has changed the lives of so many piZZo during his time as an educator, and later as an educational leader, and I am proud to consider myself part of that fortunate group.

Over the past five years, I have watched and learned as Dr. Card advocated for us to express our better angels. Not enough of us did. That falls on us, not him, as we too frequently gazed nostalgically on a glorious past that wasn’t so glorious for all of our citizens. He knew

better; we did not.

The coronavirus pandemic interrupted a superintendency that was just about to soar. A superintendent was poised to be a transformational curriculum and instruction leader. Right before the impact of Covid-19, I saw a leader ready to meet the moment and bring our district to a better place educationally.

One of the many tragedies of the pandemic was the failure to seize this opportunity to focus on this core area.

Instead, our leader was thrust into a period of strife and great fear. While this wasn’t the role he desired for his superintendency, he met the moment, and became an outstanding navigator of our troubled waters. That is what great leaders do — they meet the moment, even if the moment is one that was not part of their design.

Even with daunting challenges, Dr. Card still moved the needle for our district: the one-to-one technology initiative; Integrated Co-Taught; the establishment of a pre-K program; an increase in district security personnel; the expansion of the bond to address athletic needs, and so

LeTTers thing that ever happened. But what about the unquestionably moderate John McCain and Mitt Romney, both of whom were falsely denounced as extremists?

Well, the Democrats didn’t want McCain or Romney, so they got Trump, a virtual creation of the left, which is now doing everything possible to keep its creation alive.

Plastic pollution continues to plague us To the Editor: We’ve all heard the warnings about cleaning up our trash at the beach and recycling, but it’s easy to feel helpless, or that it’s a problem so distant that there’s no point in worrying about it. Well, here on long Island, plastic pollution affects us directly. Not only does it make a mess of our beautiful beaches, but it also threatens wildlife and our vital marine ecosystems. long Island is an extremely important estuary, a breeding ground for fish and other marine wildlife. This means that how we treat our beaches is of utmost importance, and affects fisheries around the world. Historically, however, we lead wasteful lifestyles that lead to plastic pollution, which threatens our ecosystems.

many other areas that positively impacted students. All of this was accomplished while he dealt with the many calamities of the unprecedented pandemic and generational political strife. Fiscally, our future remained secure, which is attributable to Dr. Card’s wise approach of implementing initiatives via sound budgetary practices.

Most residents don’t know this, but when higher powers of government closed us down and we went home to a remote environment, Dr. Card was constantly trying to find the best way to protect our children. He did this by being physically present, at significant risk to himself, and perpetually deeply engaged in research at a time when many of us were at home, spraying the bags delivered by a local grocery store.

Dr. Card always had time to check on the work being done to help those in need in our community through our food and grocery distributions, which were supported by so many. He also took time to acknowledge the front-line district workers who kept these support services going.

While most of us were dealing with the

isolation in our remote environments, he was working tirelessly. There were so many challenges at the time for superintendents that our community didn’t fully appreciate, because his focus was only on moving forward, not on sharing the gigantic weight he carried for us.

Perhaps we should reflect on what we went through together and the positive impact Dr. Card made. He did all he could, and examined every opportunity that could have a positive impact on kids. In retrospect, he was right far more often than was ever acknowledged.

As an administrator, I fully appreciated his work during the pandemic. He was the best person to lead us during that time. As the parent of a district student, I was always confident that my son’s safety and education were carefully considered under Dr. Card’s leadership.

My only regret is that his time with us was so short, while the possibilities under his leadership were so great. Those who know the truth appreciate the work he did, the guidance he shared and the dignity he provided to the superintendency in East Meadow.

Dr. Patrick Pizzo is the assistant superintendent for business and finance in the East Meadow School District and the president of Equity 4 LI Youth.

Every plastic bag we use, every pair of plastic sunglasses, every phone case we discard takes thousands of years to break down, and usually ends up in our oceans.

Besides ruining the natural beauty of our beaches, plastic pollution can have extremely detrimental effects on wildlife, from small fish and shrimp ingesting deadly microplastics to sea turtles and seals getting caught in plastic fishing nets. The population decreases that plastic pollution causes also have the potential to collapse our marine ecosystems, driving away the marine mammals we are beginning to see on the Island for the first time in years.

Although it’s easy to feel helpless in these situations, there are many ways for long Islanders to prevent plastic pollution from getting into our oceans. There are many things you can do in your home, from recycling to reducing your own plastic use and opting for more sustainable alternatives. The New York Marine Rescue Center, a nonprofit rescue-and-release organization, helps treat the many animals that suffer the consequences of plastic pollution, and hosts beach cleanups, whale and seal-watching events, and even an annual 5K. The center is always accepting donations and new volunteers, so we can work together and prevent plastic pollution from destroying our beaches.
