Museum marks milestone

Building planned since 1976 open for one year By roBErt trAVErso rtraverso@liherald.com

After over 40 years of fundraising, planning and construction to create a tangible journey through the history of Franklin Square for residents, the Franklin Square Museum celebrated its oneyear anniversary earlier this month. The origin of the museum stretches back to the U.S. bicentennial in 1976. A group of people who eventually

founded the Franklin Square Historical Society sought to tie the celebration to Franklin Square, so they built the gazebo at Rath Park to mark the anniversary. After the gazebo was completed, the group began to collect and compile artifacts from the hamlet’s past. It needed a place to store these artifacts — which include a 3,000-year-old spearpoint believed to be evidence of Native American presence in prehistoric Franklin Square,

a cannon that was used to start the Vanderbilt Cup Races of the early 1900s, military uniforms that belonged to local veterans and more — so the group turned its attention to creating a museum. “We needed a place to keep the community’s history,” said Paul Van Wie, president of the historical society, who helped collect many of the items and was involved in the early stages of planning the museum. “We have some real Continued on page 3

NewS brief

Three Elmont residents displaced by fire Three Elmont residents were displaced by a house fire on May 16. Police officers responded to the house, located on Circle Drive West, and observed thick smoke coming from a second-floor window. The three residents, ages 65, 61 and 22, were not injured. The Elmont Fire Department was assisted by the Floral Park, Valley Stream and South Floral Park fire departments, and 45 firefighters collectively assisted. One fireman experienced blurred vision and was treated on scene after a piece of debris was lodged in his eye, but no other injuries were reported. Police officials deemed the fire nonsuspicious and said it may have been caused by a nearby lightning strike, although the house was not directly struck. An investigation is ongoing. — Robert Traverso

New districts are good news for Elmont continued From page 1 The new maps, which were redrawn by a State Supreme Court-appointed special master after district lines created by the Democratic majority in the State Legislature were overturned by the court, were approved by a state judge last Saturday. “It seemed like Elmont and Valley Stream did not have anyone fighting for them,” said Mimi Pierre-Johnson, a longtime community activist, expressing support for the new maps, but recalling her reaction to the 2011-12 redistricting, which pushed her to fight for better district lines for Elmont. The past map, she said, placed the majority of Elmont in the 7th Senate District, but kept some areas — specifically near the Southern State Parkway and Linden Boulevard — out of the district, which she said effectively neglected Elmont children who attended the Alden Terrace Elementary School in Valley Stream, and junior high school and high school students who live in that community who attend Elmont Memorial High School. These problems, Pierre-Johnson said, were largely corrected by the new maps. She was originally more concerned about garnering representation for all of Elmont within one State Senate district, where representatives are more accessible than on the federal level. But when

Pierre-Johnson learned that Elmont was to join parts of Queens on the congressional level under the map rejected by the state court prior to the new maps’ approval last week, she began calling for changes on the federal level. She spoke at an upstate hearing on the new maps on May 6 with one message: Do not relegate Elmont to a district with parts of Queens, because that would create barriers to securing resources for Elmont. “We made sure we were there,” PierreJohnson said. “It’s about our community. It’s about our resources.” Pierre-Johnson said that critics of calls for redistricting changes have often rejected them on the grounds that residents of Elmont, Valley Stream and Queens are “the same” because many of them are Black and Haitian. “Demographics, that’s one thing, but when you’re talking about the resources for your schools, the everyday things you need as a constituent, that’s different,” she said. Pierre-Johnson and other Elmont community leaders have long called for having one congressional representative, one state senator and one assembly member to allow for more allocation of resources to Elmont residents and smoother communications with elected officials. Pierre-Johnson pointed to the nearby

Prince Umberto owner charged with fraud By ROBERT TRAVERSO rtraverso@liherald.com

Maria Caliendo, an Elmont resident and the owner of Franklin Square restaurant Prince Umberto’s, was charged in federal court on May 19 for engaging in a conspiracy to commit wire fraud with former Hempstead Union Free School District official Sharon Gardner, who allegedly steered over $1 million in food contracts to another business owned by Caliendo in exchange for kickbacks from her. A federal indictment unsealed on May 17 also charges Caliendo, who owns food service providers Smart Starts NY, Inc., with making false statements to a federal agent investigating the alleged wire fraud. Caliendo, 57, began working at Prince Umberto’s Pizzeria Restaurant in 1995, when she returned from Italy, where she worked for the U.S. embassy for a few years, to help her family run the Franklin Square restaurant that she now owns and operates. Caliendo and Gardner were arraigned late May 19. “As alleged, with little regard for the taxpaying public, the defendants secretly steered lucrative food service contracts to themselves and then illegally shared the profits,” explained Breon Peace, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, according to a statement jointly released by the offices of the eastern district and the Nassau County District Attorney that announced the charg-

es and arrests of Caliendo and Gardner. As the director of food services for Hempstead public schools, Gardner secured contracts that allowed Smart Starts, Caliendo’s company, to exclusively provide prepackaged breakfast meals for Hempstead public school students, the unsealed indictment reveals. During the 2016-17 school year, Gardner “persuaded” Hempstead school district officials to treat Caliendo as a “sole source” vendor, which is a designation usually reserved for companies that provide unique or rare supplies with limited availability, for breakfast foods for students, effectively bypassing bids made by other companies. The next school year, “Gardner oversaw a supposedly competitive bidding scenario for the breakfast items, only to award a second procurement contract to Smart Starts despite the existence of more cost-effective bids,” the statement explained. Caliendo’s company received a total of more than $1.2 million in contracts from the Hempstead Union Free School District. “Instead of following the legitimate bidding process for a food services contract, the defendants allegedly used the Hempstead School District as their own piggy bank,” Nassau County District Attorney Donnelly said, according to the statement. In exchange, Caliendo allegedly kicked back more than $100,000 to Gardner

THE INDICTMENT UNSEAlED on May 19 alleges that Caliendo, in her capacity as the owner of, accepted over $1 million in contracts from Gardner and than paid her more than $100,000 in kickbacks in exchange for the contracts.

MARIA CAlIENDO, CENTER, in 2011, has been associated with Prince Umberto’s since 1995, when she returned to the U.S. from Italy, where she attended high school and later lived while working for the U.S. embassy for a few years. through fraudulent payroll deposits and other methods of payment. Additionally, these payments were deposited into a bank account that was created in the name of one of Gardner’s family members in order to conceal the kickbacks. “While Gardner accepted the higher bid for her own personal gain, the taxpayers of the Hempstead Union Free School District were left holding the bill,” said Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso, according to the statement. The funds kicked back by Caliendo were spent by Gardner on international vacations, a leased vehicle and home furnishings, among other things, according to the statement. Gardner also allegedly withdrew over $13,000 in cash from these funds from ATMs located near her home and workplace.

Caliendo was also charged with making false statements to federal agents regarding the alleged scheme. “In voluntary interviews with investigators, Caliendo made materially false statements concerning the justification for the payments, falsely claiming that they represented repayment for a startup loan from Gardner’s family member, despite having received no capital contribution, work or labor from that individual,” the statement adds. If convicted, Caliendo and Gardner both face up to 20 years of imprisonment for the charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. “Stealing money meant to feed students in need is reprehensible,” said State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli, according to the statement.

Interested sixth grade students from all three school buildings were recently introduced by Polk Street School librarian Matt Dornemann, John Street School fifth grade teacher Karen Perlak and District STEM Discovery Lab Teacher Marie

Wicks interviewed. Thirty-six students were interviewed, and 24 were selected to participate, combining to create four individual teams comprised of six students each. The teams began meeting last December twice per week at the Washington Street School’s STEM Lab. There, the students constructed and coded EV3 LEGO robots to complete specific tasks in preparation for the upcoming robotics competition on May 28 at Adelphi University.

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Show takes off Saturday, May 28 By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Alexa Wahl was just 7 when her family began attending the Bethpage Air Show. Standing on Jones Beach and staring at the sky, she would watch the planes soar past quickly and gracefully. It was from that very moment Wahl realized she wanted to be a pilot. Now 23, the Deer Park resident spent time in high school “Googling every possible profession” because she felt becoming a pilot wasn’t possible for her. Nothing excited her quite like flying. So why not? Wahl decided to go for it. With no experience and just a dream, Wahl enrolled in the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College. After four years of learning to fly, she graduated from the program last December. Wahl’s now an instructor at the center — currently the only woman in such a role — mentoring future pilots. Yet, it was Michael Canders who helped her realize her dream. A military pilot for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for more than four decades, Canders is an associate professor and the college’s aviation center director. It was ultimately up to him who the five aviation center pilots would fly in this year’s Bethpage Air Show. One of his top choices? Wahl, of course. “I was so surprised to be asked,” Wahl said. “I worked so hard, and it definitely paid off. But it still feels too good to be true.” Wahl and the other pilots from the center will open the show on Saturday, May

Want to go? The 2022 Bethpage Air Show is set for Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jones Beach is located off Meadowbrook Parkway South. Admission is free, but there is a $10 parking fee charged on-site, but is waived for those with a New York State Parks Empire Pass. This year’s show is headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, For more information, visit BethPageAirShow.com. Courtesy Alexa Wahl

AlExA WAhl, A recent graduate of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College, will fulfill her childhood dream of flying in the Bethpage Air Show. 28 at 10 a.m., as the first group. Wahl will pilot the third plane in the line, flying a PA-28-161, otherwise known as a Piper Warrior 3. It is the same plane she trained with at points in the program, and is classified as “low-wing,” meaning it’s more stable and easier to control, making it better for new pilots to operate. Wahl will join the 44 other pilots from the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College who have flown in the air show. Her mentor, Canders, will narrate the flights at the show and talk about the program for all the viewers to hear.

For some pilots, however, this air show will not be their first rodeo in the sky. Jessy Panzer is a true air show veteran. The Colorado Springs-based pilot was introduced to planes by her father, who worked at Duncan Aviation, a privately owned business jet service provider. He died in an accident when Panzer was just 10. When she is not doing air shows, Panzer works as a corporate private jet pilot. She began flying in air shows back in 2004, and the 43-year-old has since made her way to about 15 shows a year, except

for the coronavirus-ravaged 2020 dates. Panzer has flown solo as well as in duos and trios depending on the show. This will be her second time flying at Bethpage, but her first time doing it solo. “I’ll be back in my single-seat pink airplane,” she said. Panzer said she loves doing shows because “to see everyone’s faces after I perform, especially the little girls, makes it all great.” Panzer wants those girls to leave the show saying, “If she can do it, I can do it, too.” “I am very excited to be invited back to Bethpage,” Panzer added. “All performers work so hard to practice and maintain the planes so we can wow everyone in 10 minutes. A great show is going to be put on.”

Ongoing track work forces more LIRR changes

cOnTinuing cOnSTRucTiOn iS great news for some peak commuters, but bad news for everyone else, as Long Island Rail Road restores some service while cutting others. Summertime trains, however, return Memorial Day weekend on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches.

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — May 26, 2022

It’s been many long months of track work through the heart of the Long Island Rail Road. But all that construction is in the “homestretch.” Commuters will just have to endure a little more inconvenience in the meantime. During off-peak hours, at least. Weekend service between Penn Station and Huntington now operates hourly, according to new details from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with connecting service to and from Port Jefferson every two hours. Eastbound trains to Huntington depart up to 13 minutes later than what they did previously. Also getting a later start are midday weekday westbound trains on the Ronkonkoma line, by up to 25 minutes. Overnight eastbound trains will be as much as a half-hour late. Same is true for midday eastbound trains to Oyster Bay, although the 8:06 a.m., train from Jamaica to Oyster Bay will now depart a short time earlier at 7:53. “These service adjustments accommodate the final stages of work as we reach the homestretch of completing the LIRR’s most transformative projects,” said Catherine Rinaldi, the railroad’s interim president, in a release. “The schedule modifications optimize availability for crews to complete tasks while minimizing disruptions to scheduled service.” Those transfor mative endeavors

include both the $2.6 billion Main Line Expansion Project and the $11 billion East Side Access project looking to provide new service to Grand Central Terminal. The Main Line expansion is adding a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. MTA also plans to cut the 11:21 a.m., train between Farmingdale and Penn Station, as well as the 10:25 p.m., train between Penn Station and Huntington. Commuters are recommended to take the 10:37 p.m., train to Ronkonkoma, and transfer at Hicksville for the Port Jefferson-bound train. The 11:14 p.m., train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will originate in Hicksville at 12:31 a.m. Commuters are advised to take the 11:39 p.m., train from Penn Station toward Huntington to connect with this train. The 11:22 p.m., train between Huntington and Penn Station will end at Hicksville, where commuters can jump to the 11:48 p.m., train to New York City with added stops. But it’s not all cuts. MTA has added a weekday train departing Atlantic Terminal beginning at 8:22 a.m., making all stops to Jamaica. For peak trains, the 6:07 p.m., route between Atlantic Terminal and Babylon has been restored. Also, a new train departs Jamaica at 7:37 a.m., operating express to Atlantic Terminal, with connecting transfers from Hempstead, Baby-

lon, Ronkonkoma and Oyster Bay Branch trains. The 6:09 p.m., train between Penn Station and Babylon will return to its normal schedule, stopping at Rockville Centre, Baldwin and Freeport only. The 7:12 a.m., train from Huntington to Penn Station will have an added Hicksville stop at 7:29 a.m. And the 6:21 p.m., weekday train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will now depart at 6:16 p.m. And one major piece of good news for those looking to get some sun: summeronly trains on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches return beginning Memorial Day weekend.

It’s a lot of new schedule to remember, which is why MTA officials recommend commuters depend on its TrainTime smartphone app, or by reviewing the Long Island Rail Road PDF timetables at MTA. info. The transit authority is making customer service agents available to answer questions each day using live chat through its app between 6 a.m., and 10 p.m. To get someone on the phone, dial 511, or (718) 217-5477, and simply say “representative” at the start of the prompt. Automated schedule information is available at that phone number, however, around the clock.

Carey’s softball team came up just short in its Nassau Class A playoff game against Island Trees on May 17, falling at home 2-1. Carey was the No. 4 seed and Island Trees was the 13-seed in the playoff bracket, but Island Trees came away with the narrow victory. Despite the premature finish to the season, Sewhawks coach Anthony Turco was understandably disappointed following the game, but was cognizant of the bigger picture and how important one “We have to remember that they are high school kids.” Turco said. “At the end of the day, if losing this game is the worst thing that happens to them, they’ve lived a pretty good life. That yellow ball doesn’t really mean much when you think about it. What matters is whether they grow from it and the friendships they’ve gained.” It was a pitcher’s duel in every sense of the term, with neither team scoring following the first inning. Offense was scarce on both sides, but Island trees did just enough to preserve the victory. Senior pitcher Ava Rigano pitched a complete game for the Seahawks, rebounding well from some first inning hiccups. She finished the game with a staggering 13 strikeouts, and really wasn’t fazed following the initial two runs. Her most dominant and seemingly influential frame was the seventh and final frame. She struck out the side and seemed to put some wind back in the team’s sails, but it just wasn’t meant to be.

FrEshMAN sABrINA ChApMAN and the Seahawks came up a little short in the Nassau Class A playoffs, falling 2-1 to visiting Island Trees on May 17. Defensively, the Seahawks were sharp as well, as junior Caylee De Meo had an unassisted double play on a line out in the second inning and sophomore Lauren Peers had a nice running catch in the third inning to prevent an extra base hit. Credit also goes to opposing pitcher Danielle Donahue, who also had a complete game and struck out 11 batters. At the plate, the Seahawks just couldn’t get enough runners on base to do sufficient damage. The team appeared to

be poised for an offensive clinic in the first inning, when junior Caylee De Meo and sophomore Grace Leimgruber led the game off with singles. De Meo then scored on a double steal, with the catcher electing to throw it to second and get Leimgruber out allowing De Meo to score, but the bats went cold from then on. The Seahawks were then held hitless until the seventh inning, when Ava Rigano led the inning off with a single. Freshman Sabrina Chapman almost had the hit of the game

and the season following this leadoff knock, as she hit a shot down the line which would’ve scored Rigano and tied the game, but it went foul by a matter of inches. The runner was stranded at second and the season was over. Both teams had to scrap and claw for offense, but Island Trees advanced by the skin of their teeth. Rigano and De Meo earned All-County honors this spring. Peers was Honorable Mention All-County, and Leimgruber picked up AllConference accolades.

Concrete for a home by the water?

Q. We have always wanted to build a home from scratch, and want to plan a house that is modern, fireproof, hurricane-proof and checks all the boxes for a dream house. We have a property to build on, but realize the economy is working against us, since the cost of everything seems to be much higher than when we started our wish list. Someone we know suggested building with concrete block to save money, but the house will be near the bay, and we’re wondering whether it will survive a flood, especially since we know already that we have to have the living floor above the flood height. Ask The What do you recommend for building our home? Architect Concrete is what we’ve been seeing, but won’t that be expensive?

A. Concrete is a great choice for building in a flood zone, but not the best material system for saving money over alternate building systems and materials you could onte eeper choose from, especially for residential construction. The reason why concrete buildings are built, in general, is to meet much more stringent building laws to accommodate a larger number of people, protecting us from fire spread while being very strong and low in maintenance. The code (or written law) is in place to create safe buildings. Fire, wind and flood are very real and ominous threats. What you have typically seen in flood zone areas is first floor full foundations surrounding the garage and storage areas. Living spaces are required to be above the flood level. You have to be prepared for much more labor-intensive construction above the lowest level if you hope to build out of concrete. Concrete buildings require steel reinforcing rods — tons of them — set into configurations before the concrete is formed and poured. The concrete is generally formed from wood formwork constructed by carpenters, who must then strip the forms away from the concrete after it has set up and is curing. If this sounds expensive, consider that a wood structure, properly designed and covered in a flood-resistant membrane and cement board, can meet the same regulations for a lot less cost. This is only because one-, two- or three-story structures can still meet the requirements of current law without the excessive strength or flame resistance that larger buildings are required to have. Concrete block isn’t a better choice. It won’t resist movement like a monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete wall will. Steel wall studs covered with sheets of concrete board, finished with stucco, also stand up very well if anchored correctly, for a lot less cost. You can create the same modern look and avoid the cost of a full concrete structure if you use the wood or steel wall studs above the reinforcedconcrete lowest level. Instead of poured-concreteformed floors, consider wood floors that accommodate insulation better, resist fire and have a sprinkler system that will save the home and contents more economically as well. Good luck!

y friend Mike is a gentle soul with a quick sense of humor. We met when we studied journalism at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center and worked endlessly on the school newspaper, Seawanhaka. I still see Mike once in a while, when a few of the old Seawanhaka gang get together at a diner. Mike would joke as always on those afternoons over lunch, and regale us with stories about his latest trip to Italy, where he and his JiM wife have relaBERnsTEin tives. Our conversations also took place online. Mike has always been with us on the issues of the day — our disbelief and fear at the rise of the radical right and the demise of what was once the Republican Party, our dislike of the gun culture, our deep sympathy with the people in Ukraine, our disgust with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But after the back-to-back mass mur-

T

ders over the weekend of May 14-15, in Buffalo and Orange County, Calif., I received an unusual email from Mike. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” he began. He wrote that a cousin from Italy had been visiting, and went to a local gun range. He described the costs involved — $25 for a short “first time” course with an instructor, renting a gun for $25 per hour plus the cost of ammunition and the use of a target. He continued, apparently with some excitement, “They have all different kinds of pistols and some rifles.” His cousin had tried out a pistol, her friend had shot a rifle, and then they switched. She had urged Mike and his family visit the range. Then his note became alarming: “I’ve never fired a gun in my life,” he wrote, “but I think I may stop off at this place sometime this week and get my feet wet.” And then: “Maybe after learning how to shoot, I pick up a small but lethal handgun. I could get one legally, but it’s a huge hassle. I could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and

‘

i

buy one there. I’m just getting spooked by knowing that so many wackos in New York may have a gun.” I quickly wrote to ask if he was serious. His response was heartbreaking. “I’m serious about going to the range for some fun shooting,” he wrote. “Just for the experience. I am semi-serious about the gun.” In the back of his mind, he concluded, “I see myself shooting some a-hole who approaches me on the street asking for money.” Maybe that shouldn’t have been a surprise. America has become the gun capital of the world. In 2021, Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms, the gun industry’s second-busiest year on record. Our country has also become the mass-shooting capital of the world. The shooting in Buffalo was the 198th such incident this year. And the year isn’t half over. Mike watched the coverage of Buffalo just like the rest of us. He reads the newspapers the same as we do. But he seems to have come to different conclusions. He may, he thinks, need a gun.

could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and get one there.’

guys don’t think we do. We all have different thoughts and different reasons for thinking the way we do. And that’s fine. But I can’t helping wondering what happened to the Mike I’ve known for so many years, the guy who wrote funny columns for the college newspaper and is still funny after all these years. What is it he is afraid of ? And why? Many others have the same feelings and fears, and I have the same questions for them. I have no desire to own a gun. Why do they? Why do they see the senseless killing of Black shoppers in Buffalo, worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a mass shooting in New Orleans, and think the solution is to arm themselves? The National Rifle Association has always preached that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” But the proliferation of guns has never seemed to me a solution to the proliferation of guns. Mike is a good guy who may well want a gun. The trouble is, how many other good guys are out there who feel same way? And why? Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

When the coronavirus pandemic hits home

wo Sundays ago my husband tested positive for Covid-19. He was at home on the East Coast and I was visiting grandkids on the West Coast. It was the very last night of my trip; he called to say he had a cold, so we did the Covid home test together on FaceTime. He aced it, and not in a good way. He had Covid. I had been away for a week, but was leaving at 4:30 the next morning for home. He managed on his own for 16 hours while RAnDi I flew across the KREiss country and into ground zero for germs. I was super anxious all the way home, perseverating about vaccinated older people getting very sick. Dying. We have lost friends, and we have lived through all the dreadful accounts of ventilator hell. Since the beginning, we have been exceedingly careful with ourselves and others. How could this happen? Would it go well? Would I be next? After two years of hiding out and

hunkering inside and ordering in meals and missing family and friends, Covid still found us. After tracking the first available vaccines like bloodhounds and traveling two hours each way to get our jabs, Covid still found us. In our 54 years together, we’ve been through some stuff. Now my husband and I needed to get him through a global pandemic that has already killed 1 million Americans. I know how to be a good nurse, but there’s sometimes a mash-up among the head and the heart and the sense of humor. I can take blood pressure and use an oximeter and make chicken soup and basically devote my day to hydrating the patient. I also can worry myself sick with all the what-ifs. I can also laugh at the absurd. I developed my own prescription for loving care laced with a bit of dark humor. In the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so I was all in. No joking at all. As he improved, however, and when he started asking for seconds of dessert, and fluffed pillows, my inner Nurse Ratched

i

emerged. We set him up in our bedroom, and I moved into another room. Our rule was that, with a mask, he could come out for meals at a table in our den. I would put his food out and go back to the kitchen, which was my space. Initially he was grateful for every morsel of food and gesture of kindness. As the days moved along, he suggested I had overcooked his eggs and handed him the wrong salad dressing. You’re so right. This. Isn’t. About. Me. (I don’t really buy that.) But I’ve been doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walks, dishwashing, obsessive, never-ending handwashing, and disinfectant spraying. Don’t get me wrong; he is a model patient. I am not a model nurse. Not as bad as the fabled Ratched, who did a job on Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but I’m no Walt Whitman, either. Yes! You didn’t know? He didn’t just write poetry; he was a skilled nurse. We are now five days in since my husband tested positive. The CDC says

n the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so there was no joking.

he can go out and play. According to new guidelines, I was never required to isolate if I felt OK. We are not following these guidelines. We are both isolating until he tests negative. I will then test, and we’ll move on from there. Have no doubt: This Covid thing is one nasty bug. My husband has just about every pre-existing condition you can have, and he is feeling every one of his 76 years. The take-home lesson is this: We might be very sick or dead without the vaccines. Thank heaven and whatever powers may be, thank our scientists and our medical community and all the friends and neighbors and fellow Americans who took vaccines and boosters. I have no doubt at all that my husband’s apparent mild course of illness is because he has some protection from the vaccines. We were also able to get him Paxlovid, the anti-viral drug from Pfizer, and that seems to help, too. Today I can say, so far, so good. I hope he continues to do well. I hope I don’t get sick. Now I must make him a tuna sandwich, not too much mayo, a little bit of onion. Lightly toasted bread. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

t’s likely the eve of the destruction of Roe v. Wade — an act likely to be met with cheers or outrage, depending on which side of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court abortion case people land on. And what comes next could very well be up to your state legislator. How the court could change course so dramatically in less than 50 years is something scholars will debate for a long time. But it’s not exactly unprecedented. In fact, it’s not even uncommon. The court has overturned its own decisions more than 230 times since 1810, according to the Library of Congress. That makes such actions an almost annual event, on average. Many of those mind changes were for the better. Like the famous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling in 1954, which upended the “separate but equal” policy established by Justice Melville Fuller’s court with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 created the “you have the right to remain silent” Miranda rights we see over and over on cop shows. But Miranda actually overturned two rulings from just a decade earlier, both involving criminal suspects who were denied access to lawyers during police interrogations. And there have been decisions that just made things worse. Like Citizens United v. FEC, which has helped shape the “soft

letters My body, my choice? Please! To the Editor: The argument about a woman’s right to control her body is confusing to me. It seems to apply only when certain parts of society want it to. They say confession is good for the soul, so perhaps that’s why Randi Kreiss felt the need to share with us that she had an abortion (“Threat to choice has women on the march,” May 12-18). The following week, a reader shared that she’d had two abortions (“Randi’s ‘raised voice for women,’” May 19-25). I’m happy that this reader was financially and emotionally ready to welcome children after her abortions. If all of our parents waited for that, I wonder how many of us would have been born. That’s not so much a judgment of these two ladies who shared their abortion stories, but more a commentary on our society. But where were these same coura-

money” political landscape we have today. In 2010, the court, let by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that giving money to political campaigns — no matter how much money — was an extension of free speech granted by the First Amendment. That ruling wiped out two previous Supreme Court decisions, including one brought by Sen. Mitch McConnell against the McCain-Feingold Act, which limited such campaign expenditures. Many of these legal “course corrections,” for lack of a better term, were met with controversy. And if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, its ruling will reverberate through a large number of elections and a wide range of legislation to come. Yet what’s before the court isn't a criminalization of abortion. Instead, it would likely return the country to what existed before Roe — individual states creating a mish-mash of laws ranging from full legalization of the procedure to its outright ban. New York has a complicated history with abortion. While many believe the state would remain pro-choice, it wasn’t always that way here. In fact, abortion has been legal in New York only since 1970 — legislation signed into law just three years before Roe of a procedure that had been outlawed, for the most part, since 1830. But abortion access will completely disappear in other states — the quickening

of a process that has been under way for the past couple of decades. The future of abortion in New York will almost assuredly lie with Albany. State lawmakers will be compelled to respond to the ruling, and could put in place laws codifying the original Roe ruling, dismantle legalization, or possibly finding some space in between. No matter which direction legislators lean, what is certain is they need to hear from you. For abortion? Against abortion? With conditions? No conditions? This is the time to speak up and be a part of the legislative process. We spend a lot of time reading — and hearing — about individual lawmakers’ positions. In the end, however, their job is to represent their constituents. That’s us. But they can’t represent us if they don’t know our positions on legislation before them, or the bills that could wind up on their desks thanks to the actions of the Supreme Court. Call your Assembly member or state senator. Write them letters. Send them emails. Visit their district offices. Don’t wait for someone else to speak for you, because if everyone waits, then no one is speaking. And with high court changing so dramatically in recent years, it's more important than ever to establish those relationships with lawmakers, because what happens next truly depends on you.

et’s be clear. The calculated illegal leak of a draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is akin to leaking the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal. It puts American democracy and institutions at grave risk. As challenging as it may be given the passions of both sides, we need to put aside whether we agree or disagree that the draft Roe v. Wade decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and appreciate the far larger issue: that the leak is a cyniRonaLd J. cal effort to corrupt the confidenRosenbeRg tial deliberative process of our judiciary. It not only improperly sought to create a national firestorm prior to the court’s issuing a final decision, but also to destroy the necessary confidentiality, internal trust and mutual respect needed among the justices and staff. Unlike the other two branches of government — Congress and the executive branch — which have elected office holders who are answerable to their constituents every two, four of six years — the

federal judicial branch has unelected judges and justices who are appointed for life. The reason our founders provided for this was to attempt to immunize them from the outside forces and partisan influences that are involved in getting reelected or re-appointed. The founders of this great republic enacted a Constitution that provided for an executive branch and a legislative branch, both of which are answerable to the citizens — and thus also subject to being lobbied and picketed by them. Judges, meanwhile, are obligated to decide matters impartially, without bias, prejudice or partisan influences, based solely on facts properly admitted into evidence in court and in accordance with applicable law. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to intimidate or influence judges outside court proceedings to try to get them to achieve your desired outcome. Picketing their homes or otherwise trying to intimidate judges or their families is a serious crime, and a threat to the premise of the judicial branch. Chief Justice John Roberts’s statement after the leak only hinted at his level of anger when he described it a “betrayal of the confidences of the

LetteRs geous people who are defending “my body, my choice” when we were corralled to get the Covid shots? Those who chose not to lose their jobs included firefighters, police, nurses and doctors who had no choice but to work to save all of us. And I would love for someone to explain to me why my family will have to take a Covid test to get back into the U.S. in July after a family vacation. Are there not thousands of illegals crossing our border every day who are neither tested nor made to be vaccinated? Get ready, people: “My body, my choice” is going to open up a whole new Pandora’s box. Physician-assisted suicide, or “medical aid in dying,” is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, and 10 years down the road, or sooner at the rate we’re going, I can bet you, in keeping with the disrespect for human life and the need for doing selfishly what is good for us, we’ll be looking at the following:

Court.” And words alone will not heal the historic damage done to the integrity of the court or sufficiently punish the leaker(s). In its wake, Roberts instructed the marshal of the court to conduct an internal investigation into source of the leak to Politico for the purpose of punishing those involved. There are those in Washington, however, who suggest that assigning this responsibility to an office whose role is not even remotely one of investigations is akin to asking a shop teacher to construct the Hoover Dam. He or she might be able to do it, but you wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the final product. At a time when the very integrity of the high court has been violated, there are voices calling for a stronger response. Glenn Fine, of the Brookings Institute, has written that what is needed is an investigative office worthy of its name and prepared for its purpose. In a recent commentary, Fine wrote, “This situation is why I argued … that the federal judiciary needed an experienced, professional, permanent internal investigative office — an inspector general.” Also in question is what happens to the traitorous individual who is ulti-

mately identified as the leaker? If he or she is an attorney working for one of the justices, the absolute minimum threat should be a highly publicized, humiliating permanent disbarment. The leaker should also face criminal charges, and if there is no current statute providing for criminal prosecution, Congress should immediately enact and implement one. A news service quoted Michael Frisch, described as a former disciplinary counsel in Washington, suggesting that if the perpetrator is an attorney, “It's going to be a career-defining, if not career-ending moment.” Americans need to understand that this leak went far beyond the question of Roe v. Wade. It sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders. You may agree or disagree with the rulings of the Supreme Court, but it is designed to reflect the highest principles of what we call a democratic republic. Damage it and you damage that crucial foundation upon which America has been built and thrived for 233 years. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Getting rid of elderly parents who have begun to be a financial, emotional and social burden — or a husband who has Alzheimer’s, and whose wife is emotionally drained, can no longer afford to care for him at home and can’t afford long-term care because that will deplete her financial security. Disabled children, homeless people and then the mentally ill will all be at risk in this disposable society we are creating for ourselves. Many of us are looking around and not recognizing this country that we love so much. The “my body, my choice” movement is bringing all of this to a head. How dare that reader speak of “religion-saturated politics” and how it should not be allowed to damage this country more than it already has. Spare me your preaching, sister, because you’ve got it all backward. JAne DAnTonA GRoGAn Lynbrook
