Sewanhaka H.S. and others must replace mascots

The State Education Department voted unanimously on April 18 to end the use of Native American mascots in schools — a decision that will impact Sewanhaka High School.

If the high school — known as the home of the Sewanhaka Indians — fails to comply with the state’s order by the end of the 2024-25 academic year, it could be considered in willful violation of the Dignity For All Students Act and face penalties including the removal of school officers and the withholding of state aid.

The ban on indigenous mascots will affect a total of 11 Long

Island school districts.

“The Sewanhaka Central High School District will comply with any and all directives from the New York State Department of Education,” Sewanhaka superintendent James Grossane said. “With regard to its recent decision about mascots, the Board of Education will be convening soon to discuss the new directives and a process on moving forward. The district will continue to keep the community informed once a process is decided.”

An $86.6 million bond referendum was approved in 2014 to fund renovations within the Sewanhaka Central High School Continued on page 2

Elmont elementary superintendent to leave school district

By AnA BORRUTO aborruto@liherald.com

Elmont Union Free School District superintendent Kenneth Rosner said he is leaving his position at the end of the academic year and plans to take over as superintendent of the East Meadow School District. He made this announcement April 19 at an East Meadow school board meeting.

Effective Sept. 1, Rosner will replace Kenneth Card, who is retiring as East Meadow’s superintendent after six years in the position.

This means the Sewanhaka and Elmont school districts are

losing three administrators, including Sewanhaka Central High School District Superintendent James Grossane and Elmont Memorial High School principal Kevin Dougherty. Both also plan to leave their posts this summer.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to work with Mr. Rosner throughout the years,” Grossane said. “I wish him well on this new endeavor.”

Many parents in the Elmont community expressed shock and disappointment to hear the news of Rosner’s planned departure.

Prior to Rosner’s decision to leave, Elmont parents had recently met to discuss possible

Elmont superintendent strategies in response to Dougherty and Grossane stepping down — including potentially voting down the 2023-24 budget next month.

Elmont school board Trustee Tiffany Capers said she was not made aware of Rosner’s depar-

ture plans before his announcement.

She said she wished Rosner well and would strongly support parental involvement in the search process for the next Elmont superintendent.

“It is truly regrettable that at a time like this, where we are in the middle of a $52 million bond, nearing our budget vote and

with the instability of losing our Elmont high school principal, that this happened,” Capers said in a statement. “I will make it my business to make sure our scholars and our community are well taken care of. Far too long our parents haven’t had that seat at the table, the time is now.”

NY Board of Regents bans indigenous imagery continued from front page District. In 2015, a brand-new turf field was completed that reads “Sewanhaka Indians,” inscribed in the school’s purple, white and gold colors, with a Native American man’s head in the center.

According to the statewide ban, all indigenous imagery on school property, apparel, sports uniforms and fields would have to be eliminated.

“The department believes that the importance of prohibiting offensive or stereotypical (imagery) is the primary charge here and has provided ample time both in the past and under the current regulations for districts to enact change while having a minimal impact on budgeting,” Keshia Clukey, spokesperson for the State Education Department, said.

Board of Regents requirements

The state Board of Regents is in charge of setting education policies, as well as rules and regulations it enforces as law.

Prior decisions of the commissioner and the Albany Supreme Court established that public schools are prohibited from using indigenous mascots.

In 2001, Richard Mills, the former commissioner of education, issued a memorandum mentioning that the use of Native American symbols or depictions as mascots can “become a barrier to building a safe and nurturing school community and improving academic achievement for all students.”

Mills then called for the removal of all

Native American mascots in public schools as soon as possible.

Since then, the Board of Regents and the state education department have consistently opposed the use of Native American mascots and imagery in schools, Clukey said.

“The time is now to move away from these harmful images,” Clukey said.

“School districts have had 22 years — since before their students were born — to consider the damaging implications of the use of these mascots and enact positive change.”

All schools will need to be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the state education department will provide assistance to any school or district with questions.

Reactions to the ban

Similar to Sewanhaka’s school board, Brentwood High School officials reportedly agreed to change its mascot as well.

Although it will be costly, they said they believe it is time to “do the right thing.”

However, others, such as Wantagh High School and the Massapequa School District, are challenging the Board of Regents’ decision.

Wantagh school officials said they are willing to change the imagery of their mascot, but want to retain their “Warrior” name. The Board of Regents has said the school cannot keep the name due to its indigenous ties.

Members of the Massapequa Board of Education sent out a letter expressing

The school will have to rename its sports teams and remove all indigenous imagery. their frustrations with the Board of Regents, claiming that the Board of Regents is trying to “remove” the town’s rich history. The school board members said they are looking into legal counsel options.

Some Sewanhaka High School graduates said they were disappointed with the state’s decision, and added that the matter should have been handled differently.

“Alumni have a direct and strong connection to their past as Indians in a mostly respectful way, unlike how it has been

abused in some less common situations like comical icons, but that is rare,” Robert Knobel, Sewanhaka High School class of 1970, said. “I believe the statewide mandate should have simply said the local Indian nation needs to request the changes to the schools and districts and have a process to dispute the requests.”

Josephine Smith, director of the Shinnecock Nation’s Cultural Resources Department, said Native American mascots are “highly insulting” to indigenous people, especially the use of stereotypical costumes, names and cartoonish imagery, which dehumanizes native people and traditions.

“Mascots of a people or culture is not an honoring,” Smith said. “Indigenous people are not things to bring good luck, are not fictional characters, are not to be used to represent your town, school, sport team, organization or business.”

Smith said the way non-native people can honor indigenous groups is by acknowledging and respecting them, their land and waters, as well as collaborating with native people in the area on a curriculum to properly educate students on indigenous history.

“We are a living people with living, evolving traditions — we are not your mascots,” Smith said. “With knowledge comes understanding, with understanding comes respect, with respect comes peace.”

Carey boys’ lacrosse, a perennial Nassau County playoff team regardless of classification, is off to a great start to the 2023 campaign with a 7-2 record including wins in three of its first four Conference C games.

On the offensive side of the ball the Seahawks are young, fielding one senior, four sophomores, and a freshman, but the young guys can play. Michael Verderosa, Christian Korszlowski, Ethan Pelzer, are contributors while sophomores Chris Obertis and Christian Todaro light up the score sheet. After combining for 10 goals in victories this week, Obertis now has 22 goals for the year while Todaro has 21 goals and 17 assists.

The one senior and Pace commit, Matt Metzger, has been absolutely pivotal to Carey’s success this season. He leads the team with 24 goals, 14 assists, and 38 points. Last week Metzger added three goals to his total tally, scoring two against North Shore (8-3 win April 19) and one against Seaford (8-5 win last Friday.) Coach Tom Aiello called him his “main player on the offensive side.”

Carey has a stout defense with Dan Fanto and Rob Zitarosa thriving from the midfield. The rest of the defense stars Billy Koutsambaris, Michael Lucsczynski, James Gangone, Dom De Luca, and TJ Wakely. Aiello said Wakely had a strong performance in the win over North Shore, which didn’t score more than one goal in any quarter and was blanked in the fourth.

“North Shore only scored three goals and I thought TJ had a great game,” said Aiello. “He really shut down their best attack man and held him in check.”

Some say that a team is only as good at their goaltender and not many are having as good a season as Carey sophomore Rich Metzger. He is currently one of the leaders in Nassau with 78 saves, adding that total with 16 stops against North Shore and nine against Seaford. Behind a strong group in front of him, Metzger has only allowed an average of four goals over the last three games.

Avoiding summer tragedy around the water

By MARK NOLAN mnolan@liherald.com

R

ecord-breaking temperatures this April have signaled an early start to pool season. While water fun is a summer ritual, it can also lead to avoidable calamity when children are left unattended around water.

But the danger could be worse when an adult is casually supervising.

Drowning is the leading cause of death for children between 1 and 4 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly all of those tragedies — 88 percent — happen with an adult watching, experts say.

“Supervision is the main reason for drowning accidents,” said Jim Spiers, president of Stop Drowning Now. “They’re not actively supervising and paying attention.”

For Jenny Bennett, a founding member of Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning, the issue is personal.

Bennett’s son Jackson drowned in the family’s backyard pool when he was just 18 months.

Bennett, an emergency room nurse in Texas, has made it her mission to educate as many parents as possible about the danger. Her organization encourages parents and caregivers to learn CPR and first aid. Install fences with locking gates around pools. And give children swimming lessons by certified teachers.

“Say a child is fishing with grandpa and they fall in a Sue Grieco/Herald file pond or lake,” Bennett said. “Teach a child to roll and RAth PARK POOL in Franklin Square is a local hotspot for families looking to beat the heat.

AARP, USPS help take stand against fraud time to shred

AARP voLuNtEERs BEtty Beradford and Mike Peck help load bags of sensitive documents into a shredder at Nassau Community College last weekend, as part of AARP’s drive to help curb fraud of older Americans. issues affecting older Americans. She was joined by Michael Del Giudice, a postal inspector and team leader within the same division.

“I hear from so many people that are recent victims,” said Bernard Macias, associate state director for Long Island with AARP New York. “It’s so disruptive.

It’s so violating, it’s hurtful. It’s life-changing to be a victim.”

Identity theft has become a big problem in the United States and abroad due to so much information being available on the

internet. Every day, many unwittingly open their digital door to a world of strangers who could be scammers. In many cases, the results can be devastating — especially to older and vulnerable adults.

Even though many of these scammers are miles away, they can virtually enter homes through deceptive offers, designed to steal money and financial information.

“Once they have your information, it’s just like your DNA,” Harris said. “They find out who you are, and they can use it to defraud you. This is why we routinely dis-

Also helping is not just throwing away documents with sensitive information like your Social Security number, but shredding it. One such mass shredding event happened this past weekend at Nassau Community College, attended by U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, state comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, and AARP state director Beth Finkel.

Being a victim of identity theft is just the beginning. Resolving it can be a stressful and lengthy process, and according to a pair of experts from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, it’s always better to protect in advance against scams and fraud.

Some $8.8 billion was lost to lottery sweepstakes and other scams last year alone, according to the Federal Trade Commission — a 54 percent increase from 2021. Elder fraud cost Americans older than 60 more than $966 million in 2020, according to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center.

In the United States and other countries, these numbers are only growing as criminals increasingly use online scams that target older adults — especially those living alone.

“Even though we talk about this a lot and we give prevention tips, it seems that people are still falling victim to these scams. And that’s why it’s so important to give this information out,” said Donna Harris, a public information representative for the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.

“Take the information and share with others so that we can get those numbers down and put the fraudsters where they need to be: behind bars.”

Task force targets graffiti, illegal signage

By JORDAN VALLONE jvallone@liherald.com

Illegal advertisements. Unsightly graffiti. Littered roadways.

“There’s nothing more irritating than, at the end of your day, when you’re driving home and you’re looking forward to going home and relaxing with your family, you are greeted at every (utility) pole with an unsightly sign,” said Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin. “We’ve come up with a concept we are hoping is going to help alleviate some of these concerns.”

That concept includes the creation of a “quality of life” task force. Its motivation is removing illegal ads, graffiti and litter, creating clean communities while preserving the suburban landscape in Hempstead.

One of the more popular signs many neighbors might see, Clavin said, are those advertising they “buy houses, no matter what the cost is.” Yet, the cost for hanging the sign could be a fine, since doing so is against the law. Advertisements for businesses — oftentimes hung on utility poles and street signs — are also included under the umbrella of “illegal signage,” Clavin said, and the town has witnessed an increase in these posters or boards being found all over downtowns.

The town’s code states it is illegal to litter or hang solicitations on “fences, trees, utility poles, or similar supporting devices, or to vacant or unoccupied structures.”

“These men and women (on the task force) are going to go out throughout the

HEmpstEAD tOwN supERVisOR Don Clavin announced the creation of a ‘quality of life’ task force last week in Merrick, all part of an effort to combat illegal signage, graffiti and litter that he says plagues communities and hurts the suburban landscape. town every single day,” Clavin said.

“They’re going to target different areas.”

Councilman Chris Carini — who represents a district that encompasses South Shore communities like Bellmore, Merrick, Wantagh and Seaford — has worked hard over the last few years to help neighborhoods remove graffiti from Long Island Rail Road station trestles and other miscellaneous, public use structures, and helped spearhead the quality of life initiative. He says the issue of graffiti and illegal signage has been a regular nuisance to town

residents for some time.

“Going back to my years as a civic leader, these illegal signs and graffiti have been a major complaint in our neighborhoods,” Carini told reporters during a Merrick news conference last week. “We’ve seen an increase in graffiti. We’ve seen an increase in the signs. And we’re going to get out in front of this.”

Some of the town’s strongest partners in the creation of the task force were civic and homeowner associations, Clavin said, as well as various chambers of com-

merce, which work to keep their communities clean, and a place where people want to live.

Joe Baker, past president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association, has been a proponent of the task force. In just three days, Baker said he worked with the Merrick-based group to pull down illegal signs in the area.

“Over the years, we’ve collected hundreds of these,” Baker said. “The quality of life — we want to keep it good. Our motto has always been, ‘Look good, feel good.’ If the community looks good, we feel good.”

Clavin said the task force is just one step to tackling the problem at hand — Carini and other town board members are actively looking at legislation and seeing where adjustments can be made.

Utility companies have offered their support, becoming “very, very willing partners,” Clavin said.

“They understand the concerns. They understand it’s unsightly, and we’ll be changing those laws to strengthen them and fine people for not caring about other people, and where other people live.”

Anyone who wants to report illegal signs, litter or graffiti, can call (516) 4895000, and ask for their specific council person. They also can post areas of concerns on social media.

“The Town of Hempstead is a great place to live. We want to keep it clean and pristine,” Clavin said. “That’s what this squad is all about.

“Let the cleaning begin.”

■ Stop Thinking!

Are you kidding? What’s the matter with thinking? Nothing! The problem is that too often your thoughts turn into a tirade of self-reproach. “Why didn’t I?” “I should have,” “What’s the matter with me?” and more. So cut back on thinking unless there’s a decision or action you need to focus on right now.

■ Relax and Do Nothing What??? There’s so much to do. Do you want me to fall behind and make everything worse? No, I don’t! So tend to what you truly need to do. Then make time to relax and do nothing except take a few deep breaths, listen to music, nap, or watch a great program – not the news!

■ Spend Time with the “Right” People Who are the “right” people? It’s whoever makes your heart feel lighter. It could be a baby’s smile, a friend’s hug, or a psychologist’s reassurance. It’s not those who criticize you or nibble away at your good feelings.

■ No More “Never” Talk When you’ve lost the pep in your step,

it’s easy to fall into an absolutist position.

“I never do anything right,” “He never understands,” “I’ll never get over this.”

This kind of talk is neither constructive nor true. So, replace “never” with something more accurate such as, “at times or “right now.”

■ Be Patient with Yourself It’s easy to find fault and criticize yourself for who you are, what you’ve done, and how you look. Enough! The clock has run out on your cruel, callous self-assessment.

From now on, be patient with yourself.

You’re a work in progress. So begin by saying something kind to yourself. Right now, do it! And make sure you didn’t include a “yes, but” phrase, such as, “I like that I’m a caring person, but still I’m hard on myself.” See how a compliment can easily morph into a reproach. So stick to short, kind compliments, such as, “I like that I’m tech smart.” “I enjoy my sense of humor.”

“I take pride in my cooking skills.”

When did you begin to view life as a “have-to” burden, requiring you to put one foot in front of the other to get moving? Has it been a long time or something relatively new? Sure, you can still paste a smile on your face and have a good laugh.

Sands formally introduces itself to L.I. businesses

NORBeRt RIezLeR, the senior vice president and chief procurement officer for Las Vegas Sands Corp., hosts a procurement academy with the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce last week. The academy offered insight and answers for Long Island small businesses to the potential Sands resort project at the Nassau Coliseum, and how they could be involved. within current locations like Singapore and Las Vegas. He provided statistics and graphs showing the breakdown on the Uniondale project, including where the highest percentage of money would be going, its commitment to local and diverse sourcing, and what it takes to procure this project.

The Sands is currently waiting on a gaming license from the state before it can go any further.

Afterward, Sands broke the 300 or so attendees into smaller groups, discussing everything from food and beverage, tech-

would be less than 10 percent of the overall plan, the casino is exactly what a number of people and organizations have focused on — both positively and negatively.

Still, Sands claims the new luxury resort would provide more than 12,000 construction jobs, and then employ 5,000 people once it opened.

“Long Island, we really, really, really want to be here,” said Norbert Riezler, senior vice president and chief procurement officer for Sands. “We are really excited.”

Riezler shared how the Sands operates

nology, professional services and design and construction.

Julie Marchesella, the owner of clothing boutique Queen of Hearts in Merrick, said she participated primarily to see if she could advertise inside the Sands once it opens.

“They have intentions of catering to weddings, and I felt that this would be a perfect opportunity to advertise … and maybe have a kiosk with a mannequin wearing a beautiful gown,” Marchesella said. “Since Queen of Hearts is on Merrick Avenue — just a very short taxi ride or Uber ride — they might see something there that they love and want to come in and try it on.”

Not everyone is keen about welcoming Sands. A number of people and groups have protested the casino, saying it will increase crime and poverty in and around Uniondale. Nearby Hofstra University is against the development, even filing a lawsuit earlier this month against the Nassau County Planning Commission, claiming it violated state open meetings laws when considering the $4 billion Sands project.

Frank Borrelli, owner of Borrelli’s Italian Restaurant in East Meadow, believes this project is the best option presented so far.

“I think it’s a homer for the community,” he said. “The taxes it’s going to generate for the county will be insane, not only from (the resort), but just branding off and bringing people to the areas. And tourism in general.”

One of the biggest mistakes a large company can do when coming into a community for the first time is start big and stay big.

But when Las Vegas Sands Corp., came to town looking to spend millions on redevelopment, it didn’t go big. It went hyperlocal.

“They started off right,” said Frank Camarano Jr., president of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce. “They understood. They didn’t have to wait for the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce to say, ‘Hey guys, you have to start at the grassroots level.’ It was the exact opposite — they reached out to us.”

Camarano shared the remarks during last week’s Procurement Academy hosted by the council of chambers as well as Sands’ New York division at Nassau Community College. The academy was designed as a way for businesses to get acquainted with the Sands, and possibly seek out avenues where Sands and the businesses could work together.

The $49 billion luxury casino and resort company announced earlier this year it would bid for the Uniondale land surrounding the Nassau Coliseum. The proposal is for a multi-billion-dollar resort that would include hotels, community centers, a performance venue, convention spaces, restaurants and a casino.

This bittersweet comedy is an astute, snapshot-sharp chronicle of the lives of three Texas women and how their friendship evolves. The story begins as Joanne, Kathy and Mary are high school cheerleaders in 1963. Five years later in their college sorority house, they are confronting their futures with nervous jauntiness. In 1974, they reunite briefly in New York. Their lives have diverged and their friendship is strained and ambiguous. Their attempts at honest conversation only show they can no longer afford to have very much in common.

onverting the Long Island Power Authority to a public power utility from a privatepublic partnership is being considered by the State Legislature through a commission. This switch, in a process known as municipalization, would be a massive mistake.

Just ask residents of Boulder and Pueblo, Colorado, who overwhelmingly rejected ballot issues to municipalize. In fact, only a handful of communities nationwide have voted in favor of a municiWENDY pal takeover of electricity in over HIJoS a decade.

It’s usually a costly folly that rarely achieves the benefits proponents claim. What happens in reality should dissuade the Legislature from altering the LIPA public-private partnership.

Creating a municipal utility doesn’t necessarily: ■ Bring lower electricity costs. In San Marcos and Palm Springs, California,

A

for example, consultants’ cost savings estimates turned out to be wrong, to the detriment of consumers. Plus, while municipal utilities tend to charge residential customers less and businesses more, residents end up paying more anyway. Further, a study by a consulting firm found the costs passed on to ratepayers by municipal utilities often went up.

p

strict, and more subject to politics.

■ Improve operations. Municipal officials and appointees frequently don’t have the expertise that investor-owned utilities possess, which can reduce reliability in areas where major storms and other weather-related events occur. For instance, when Winter Park, Florida, switched to a public utility, it wasn’t prepared operationally, and had to build that knowledge from the ground up.

ublic utilities are often less accountable and more subject to politics.

■ Improve grid security.

Municipal utilities are under cyber siege as their staffing shrinks, cybersecurity spending lags and their legacy systems are often outdated. In 2021, a cyberattack against the Oldsmar, Florida, water treatment facility nearly poisoned the water supply of almost 2 million people.

■ Guarantee accountability to consumers or taxpayers. Investor-owned utilities are regulated by a state utility commission. When a blackout or brownout or other crisis occurs, such oversight is vital in order to determine what went wrong and how to fix it. Accountability of a municipal utility often proves less

■ Offer the shared risk for ratepayers that investor-owned utilities do, with shareholders who shoulder risks with ratepayers.

Municipalization triggers other major problems. It costs a lot, is contentious, and takes a long time to happen, if it happens at all. In Corona, California, the direct buyout cost of its utility will exceed $300 million. Long Beach, California, rejected municipalization because of its $500 million price. The city of Pueblo, according to one estimate, would have lost nearly $8.5 million in taxes and franchise fees if it had

municipalized its utility.

Failure took 13 years for a plan in Las Cruces, New Mexico, felled after dozens of lawsuits and many untold costs arose.

As well, only one in six attempted municipal utility takeovers succeeds, according to a report that studied 60 of them. Two later sold the utility back to the investor-owned utility. Investorowned utilities cannot afford bloated budgets, but public utilities need not have the same capital discipline with taxpayer dollars.

LIPA customers should also be outraged by the poor job the legislative commission has done. Despite spending $2 million in taxpayer dollars to collect community input, the commission held none of three public hearings called for before the end of last September. It held no meetings during its first five months of existence, and didn’t produce a draft report by year-end 2022. It was expected this month.

The track record of municipalization is clear, and Long Island residents should not be fooled by the current attempts to municipalize the LIPA. Wendy Hijos is the New York state director for the Consumer Energy Alliance.

Mothering our way through the pandemic global pandemic was never part of the job description in my Mothers Handbook, circa 1971, but so be it. This is our

time.

A small distinction: A man fathers a child, and the work he does after that is called “parenting.” A woman gives birth to a child, and the work she does after that is often called “mothering.” That word implies the unique devotion needed to shepherd children safely through their early years.

The dictionary says the word RANDI embraces “kindKREISS ness” and “protection.”

No one says, “Joe is so good at fathering.” But we often hear praise for someone’s mothering. I don’t think it’s sexist; I see the word as gender neutral. Joe may be good at mothering as well.

Mothering requires tending, nurturing, cherishing and teaching children.

The term connotes warmth and support and advocacy.

Although, traditionally, mothering has been linked to the mother-child bond, there are millions of men and

people who identify in nontraditional ways, who mother their children selflessly and lovingly. Friends also can mother one another, even when children aren’t involved.

As we approach Mother’s Day, I honor all the people, from older teens to adults to grandparents, who find themselves in the role of raising children, and find within themselves the resources to “mother” them.

Parenting seems more like a job description to me. Mothering is a mission and a half. In the age of Covid-19, in the wake of lockdowns and isolation, mothering has been a gift to our kids and grandkids.

Parents pressed for time and money, parents nearly paralyzed by anxiety by the epidemic, somehow rallied and did their best for their little ones.

In my world, I observed nieces and nephews (who might now feel embarrassed by the notion) display true courage in finding a path for their babies and toddlers. Their daily creativity and devotion kept the kiddies safe, while allowing them to learn and grow in a time of restrictions and fear and social isolation. Those were long years to be alone in your home with a 2-year-old.

I

I know of one young dad, working from home, who mothered his restless little ones by creating a thrilling world out of the commonplace routines of keeping the household going. The mail delivery, the Instacart groceries and the laundry all became big events, threaded with anticipation and excitement. The trash pickup was a showstopper. As in the movie “A Beautiful Life,” in which a father reinvents life in a concentration camp for his young son, the dad I know interpreted everyday activities as theater. He didn’t want his children to miss the world.

If you’re a parent trying to mother a teenager in 2023, good luck and God bless. My grandkids are 20, 18, 16 and 14, and this has been a challenging road through the pandemic. The headlines speak to the truth about unprecedented emotional fallout from the Covid-19 years. Teenagers have suffered from the social isolation and anxiety.

Everyone — teens, parents and grandparents — did our best to keep home life safe and sane. When schools were closed for months, the pressure was extraordinary to keep the teenagers engaged and off social media (ha!) and

tried to mother my own grown kids during Covid-19, to mixed success, at best.

diligent about schoolwork. The big lessons had nothing to do with the closeddown classrooms and a year’s curricula out the window, and everything to do with how to face danger, and how to be brave in the midst of a spreading pandemic, and how to think about death and hope for life and recovery. Our teens missed a lot of Happy Days, and many of the traditional paths forward to college and work life were altered.

All of you parents of teenagers who mothered your way through the past three years, the singular reward for your efforts will be children who, with support and luck, will grow into responsible adults.

I tried to mother my own kids during the pandemic as they helped their children through this time. Mixed success, at best. I tried to manage my own anxiety for them and for us without making that contagious as well. Mixed success, at best.

Mothering is unbound by time and place. My mother has been gone five years, but, hand to heart, I felt her at my side many times during the worst of the pandemic.

This Mother’s Day, I invite all of us to co-opt the M-word. It would be a happier and healthier world if we all mothered one another.

This summer, keep our kids from drowning

t

he video is heart-wrenching. One by one, parents explain how their child drowned, holding their pictures and saying their names.

It’s part of a public service announcement found on the Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning website, and it’s a call to action: grieving parents pleading with us to keep children from drowning.

The message is clear: If you are supervising children who are in the water, never allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security. Don’t ever look away.

Not even for a second. It takes just 30 seconds for a young child to drown — half a minute that can lead to a lifetime of ceaseless grief.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the leading cause of death for children between ages 1 and 4. Some 4,000 people of all ages across the country drown each year.

For decades, government at all levels has enacted laws intended to help prevent children from drowning. Sadly, these laws have not been enough. More must be done.

There are at least four water safety bills being considered in Albany, including S.3608, which would require parents of a newborn to watch a video explaining the

dangers of drowning for infants and young children before they leave the maternity ward. State legislators should pass this bill and get it on Gov. Kathy Hochul’s desk.

And we urge lawmakers to draft legislation providing free pool safety inspections for homeowners and caregivers. Several government agencies already offer free car seat safety inspections. While visiting a home and inspecting a pool is more involved, it certainly is no less critical for protecting children.

At least two water safety experts have agreed that pool safety inspections would help prevent child drownings.

This proposal wouldn’t be another unfunded mandate that drains the resources of local municipalities. Albany has the mechanism to create a pilot program using previously budgeted money from an appropriate department. The pool inspections would be voluntary and conducted by state-licensed pool safety experts.

A pool owner would receive a safety inspection certificate and a degree of peace of mind. Some private companies already offer free pool safety inspections.

A government-business partnership would further enhance the reach of this

pilot program.

Water safety experts stress the need for constant surveillance of children while swimming. They also insist on multiple layers of protection — tall fences, selflocking gates and more — to prevent kids from getting into unguarded water. Pool safety inspections would offer one more element of safety.

May is National Water Safety Month.

There is no better time for local state senators and Assembly members to draft legislation to provide those inspections.

And as you prepare to open your pool for the summer, make it a priority to visit swimming safety websites and educate yourself about making your pool safer, and what you can do if you see a child in distress in the water.

Remember that water safety includes time on the bays and at the ocean. Follow state and local laws for operating watercraft. Be an active supervisor of children and young adults who are enjoying the water. Don’t assume that a day of fun in the sun can’t turn deadly.

The courage and strength of parents able to talk about their children’s deaths is remarkable — and inspiring. Honor that courage and their grief by taking action to make your pool safer.

letters

Cameras were already a problem five years ago To the Editor: I am in full agreement with Fred Gefen’s sentiments regarding red-light and speed-camera ticketing in his letter last week, “Every vehicular mistake, caught on camera.” His are the same sentiments, and arguments, I made in two letters, in the April 12-18 and May 24-30, 2018, issues of the Herald, “Red-light fees are ‘exorbitant’” and “Red-light ticket tyranny.”

I asked, “How does $50 automatically become $150? Ask the magicians of the Nassau County Legislature,” and, “If Nassau can’t balance its books in a fair and honest manner, is it justified in seeking additional revenues by concocting such contrived fees as these to fill the gap?”

It’s encouraging that another Nassau resident was driven to expose the very same tyranny that led me to write five years ago, but it’s equally disheartening that these injustices continue to plague us five years later, with no action having been taken to remedy them. Mr. Gefen’s references to proposed license plate readers and school bus cameras indicate that the problem is growing even worse, as Big Brother continues to invade our daily lives.

Yes, advancing technology does afford benefits to the safety and security of Nas-

sau citizens, but it must be imposed with an awareness of the detrimental and continuing erosion of our rights as citizens.

ROBERT RuBALSKY East Rockaway

Peter King should know we should follow the law To the Editor: With Peter King’s column, “With Trump’s

indictment, we cross a dangerous line” (April 13-19), it’s a relief to see members of Trump’s party finally coming down on the side of preserving norms, after years of Trumpian normbreaking. But to ask Americans to do it by exempting Trump from accountability is both hypocritical and shortsighted.

Those who supported or enabled this corrupt, duplicitous bully’s rise to the presidency should have known they were bludgeoning our country’s political norms. Our country is now on the path of restoring those norms, and we will walk that path to the end.

t

he true enormity of the real-life consequences that will result from the leaking of sensitive national security secrets by Air Guardsman Jack Teixeira hit me hard the other day, when I received an email from an old friend who served with distinction in the military, in the intelligence services, as a key staffer on Capitol Hill and in the executive branch of our government.

For starters, we must realize peter that whatever is kinG leaked to social media is being absorbed, scrutinized and analyzed by our enemies and, yes, our allies. Giving our enemies access to our imagery and code-breaking capabilities puts all Americans at risk. Those who are already at risk on

the battlefield, of course, will be at greater risk. So, too, will our undercover operatives — “spies” — in hostile countries be in greater danger than ever.

Those at most immediate risk are intelligence sources — human beings — in enemy countries who have provided the United States with invaluable intelligence and information.

Having served on the House Intelligence Committee for over nine years, I saw firsthand how deeply embedded some of these sources are in enemy governments, supplying us with the most sensitive and vital information to avert attacks against us or our interests. Studying the information contained in the leaked documents, these governments will be able to do a reverse analysis, and determine who our sources are and subject them and

J

ack Teixeira took an oath to defend our nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

Letters To King and all those who would shelter Trump from this indictment, not to mention the even more serious ones awaiting him, I say this: If you really care about our country’s norms, the right way to uphold them is, first, to let the rule of law run its course, and, second, to make wiser leadership choices in the future.

their families to brutal torture and death.

This will be a human catastrophe and an intelligence disaster. Not only will we no longer receive valuable intelligence data from those who are tortured and killed, but this could also lead to other sources being disclosed and neutralized. Equally consequential, it will dissuade others from cooperating with the United States. Similarly, our allies will be reluctant to share intelligence with us, fearful that it will be leaked, with serious consequences for their sources and security.

Leaking national security secrets shouldn’t be part of a leftvs.-right debate. It was indefensible and stupid for Republican U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor-Greene to say Teixeira was being criticized for being “white, male, Christian, and anti-war,” and wrong for

gia vote. I hope that Mr. King is taking a very hard look at those two pending cases.

Donald Trump Jr. to describe Teixeira as a “hero.” Similarly, it is wrong for people on the left, like the writer Glenn Greenwald, to argue that Teixeira performed some sort of public service by making life-or-death information available online for America’s adversaries.

Nor do I have any regard for the argument that Teixeira should get a pass because, at 21, he’s only a kid. A 21-year-old is an adult. Twenty-oneyear-olds fight our wars as soldiers and protect our streets as men and women in blue. Teixeira was trained in the military and took an oath to defend our nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.

A 21-year-old military man who makes life-threatening secrets available to our sworn enemies should not receive the benefit of youthful offender treatment. He must face severe consequences. Justice must be served.

Peter King is a former congressman, and a former chair of the House Committee on Homeland Security.

Dillon is a high school history and civics teacher.

Trump’s indictment is Trump’s fault To the Editor: In his April 13-19 column, Peter King seems to be blaming the dawn for the crowing of the rooster. He is bemoaning the fact that a federal grand jury has indicted Donald Trump for breaking federal campaign laws in connection with his Stormy Daniels payoff, rather than addressing the dirty deeds that Trump has committed.

It is true that there are two other pending cases that are far more egregious than the current one: Trump’s incitement to insurrection in the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, as well as his effort to fraudulently “find” 11,780 votes in Georgia. But the current case has reached a milestone in that it has ended the notion that a president or former president cannot be indicted for criminal actions.

In other words, it opens the door to a legal path for the extremely serious charges relating to Jan. 6 and to the Geor-

To the Editor: The number of deaths due to the use of assault-style weapons in mass shootings seems, tragically, to be endless, including most recently in Nashville, Tennessee.

It is now reported that the leading cause of death in children and teens in this country is gun-related violence.

According to the Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun violence, 85 percent of deaths caused by the use of assault rifles occurred in mass shootings. It also found that during the 10-year federal ban on assault weapons that ended in 2004, massshooting deaths were 70 percent less likely to occur.

Despite majority public support for reasonable gun regulation, more protective federal laws, like the renewal of an assault weapons ban, are not politically feasible due to opposition from gun-rights groups and a lack of support from Republican members of Congress.

When can the renewal of a federal assault weapons ban be expected? Perhaps American history can give a clue.

There were attempts to enact a federal law against lynching toward the end of the 19th century. According to historian Eric Rauchway, in 1938 a Southern filibuster stood in the way of a proposed federal

We have liftoff! — Hall’s Pond Park, West Hempstead

anti-lynching law. When asked by Jimmy Roosevelt, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s son, when the filibuster would end, Sen. James Byrnes, of South Carolina, told him, “Not until the year 2038, unless the bill is withdrawn before then.”

It took over 100 years for such a law, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, making

lynching a federal hate crime, to be enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Biden last year. Will another federal assault weapons ban happen by 2104? How many more preventable deaths will happen by then?
