Preparing for the parade
American Legion veterans reflect on war, service, community and Memorial Day by rEINE bEtHANY rbethany@liherald.com
Participants and spectators always appreciate Freeport’s yearly Memorial Day Parade. The lineup of school sports teams and bands, churches, clubs and other organizations creates a powerful sound and sight, especially when the veterans, the active military, and uniformed members of the police and fire departments bring up the rear, sirens wailing and lights flashing on fire trucks and police vehicles. But the deepest meaning of the parade is found in the modest headquarters of American Legion William Clinton Story Post 342
on South Ocean Avenue. There, post members support one another, and do work that supports other veterans and benefits the community. As Memorial Day approaches, the memories of wartime sacrifices always surface. Post 342 members share the sorrow and triumph attached to the yearly events.
Past Post 342 Commander Eddie Martin, 76
Memorial Day to me is sadness, remembering friends and people that I knew that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their families and never got the chance to enjoy their life. They gave it up for the freedom that we enjoy every day. Continued on page 4

THE mARquEE of the Imperial Diner at 63 W. Merrick Road has been a magnet for seekers of good food and fellowship for half a century.
Imperial Diner cuts 50-year red ribbon By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
On May 11, fifty years after Greek immigrants Constantine “Gus” Moustakas and his wife Georgia opened the Imperial Diner at 63 West Merrick Road in Freeport, their children, Billy Moustakas and Lana Manetto, celebrated the diner’s golden anniversary. They were joined by dignitaries of New York State, Nassau County, the Town of Hempstead, and Freeport Village, plus their own families and the wider family of Freeport. Billy and Lana teamed up with their mother in 1985 to keep the diner open after their father p a s s e d a w a y. Gus’s spirit of BIllY enter prise and G e o r g i a ’ s mousTAkAs embracing deterco-owner, Imperial m i n a t i o n inspired Billy and Diner Lana to make the Imperial Diner thrive. In turn, Billy and Lana’s imaginative menus and bountiful friendliness have inspired the community. Every official that attended the ribbon-cutting that day apparently had, at some point, partaken of Imperial Diner pastries, salads, wraps, and burgers. And the officials were all aware of times when the diner was there to help feed the less fortunate. “On behalf of the mayor and board of trustees of the Incorporated Village of
m
y life, the diner, and the town, they are all tightly intertwined.
BRoTHER-ANd-sIsTER TEAm BIllY Moustakas and Lana Manetto celebrated the 50th anniversary of their restaurant, Imperial Diner, on May 11. Freeport,” said Deputy Mayor Ron Ellerbe, “we appreciate your commitment to the community and the outstanding service that you have given to your customers over the years. We wish you continued success for many years to come.” “The great thing about what we’re doing right now is a celebration of success,” said New York State Senator John Brooks. “We all recognize that recent years have been very challenging times and many businesses have struggled to get by. But in this case, we’ve got what has become an institution in this community celebrating 50 years—an incredible accomplishment.” “You’ve created a truly welcoming
environment for all of us,” said Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé. “It’s beautiful. The food is great and I just want to say, congratulations!” “The Imperial Diner is the very heart of the Freeport community,” said Legislator Steve Rhoads. “Anytime we have a meeting here, anytime we have anybody that we want to sit down with, we’ll just mention Imperial Diner, and I don’t have to tell them where it is, I don’t have to tell them anything about it. They just know. And that’s because of everything this diner has done for the community.” Town of Hempstead Councilman Chris Carini commended the restaurant and the village for their mutual support during
the pandemic shutdowns, when the diner provided takeout food at reasonable prices and the community came to buy it. “It really shows the give and take of the community and what it takes to keep a small business open,” Carini said. On behalf of County Comptroller Elaine Phillips, a citation was given to the diner by Wendy Goldstein, Phillips’ director of communications. “The excellence here is just unmatchable,” Freeport Chamber of Commerce president Ben Jackson said. “I wish them another 50 years.” Billy and Lana effusively expressed their gratitude and love to the Freeport community, where they themselves were born. “I have always loved this town,” said Billy. “My life, the diner, and the town, they are all tightly intertwined.” He commended his mother’s “sheer grit and determination over the years to keep the dream alive and be able to pass along this legacy to her children.” “For our parents that we loved and respected for so many years,” added Lana, “to have their dream be still alive and try to carry it through to our children is all we wanted in life to do.” The two applauded their employees and remarked on the pleasure of seeing customers of the past now bringing their own children into the diner. “I am most proud that Imperial Diner has earned the reputation of being one of the community’s bedrocks,” said Billy, “a reliable, nonpolitical safe harbor where people of all walks of life can turn to in good times—such as family celebrations, proms, and such—and bad, like Hurricanes Sandy and Gloria. We have strived to stay open to feed those who are in need, to be one of the organizations in Freeport that its residents can always count on.”

Veterans give words to their feelings Continued fRoM fRont PaGe
Past Commander and 2022 Parade Marshal Coy Richardson, 73
Memorial Day shows your appreciation of the men and women who serve your country, and it makes them feel good. When I came back from Vietnam in the middle of the 1960s, I was in a bad spirit. I didn’t want to have anything to do with the military because I was having issues with the VA as far as getting myself taken care of, mentally and physically, from being in Vietnam. Then, 20 years ago, the first day I marched down Merrick Road in the Freeport parade, I got tears in my eyes. One thing about me and others who fought in Vietnam: We didn’t run to another country. We put on our uniforms and served our country bravely.

I feel sad for the young people that never came back from the war I served in, Vietnam. It’s ironic that people that went to Canada rather than serve came back like they were the heroes. To me, that really hurts, when I think of kids coming out of high school that were forced to go over there because there was a draft then. Vietnam vets were treated very badly by civilians. When we came home, we used to have to change at the airports so we wouldn’t get abused just walking down the street. You have to remember, the ’60s and ’70s were all about free love, protests. I think going into the military saved me from that drug culture. A lot of my friends are HaRold MuRRay not here now because they either got into drugs or other things that I was getting away from. And when I came back, I joined the New York City Police, spent 23 years there. I can understand people that have different points of view. I still think the Vietnam War was wrong — especially now, looking back, you see Vietnam is a tourist attraction today. A lot of the old GIs who fought there have gone back over to see what it’s like. It wasn’t a domino effect, you know, the government back then said, “Everything’s going to turn communist.” It didn’t happen. Since then we’ve gotten into other bad wars, like Iraq, Afghanistan. But you’re still going to find young people that are going to go and serve their country.

I’m originally from Pennsylvania. I joined the military when I was 19. I went to basic training, then I went into the military police academy, then to Korea. I spent 13 months over there, doing military police duties in Seoul. When I completed my tour of three years, I got out and joined the New York City Police Department. I spent a career there, and I’m happily retired now. I joined Post 342 when I moved here two and a half years ago. On Memorial Day, I think about all the veterans that lost their lives and I salute them. I pray daily and often for all military and all mankind. I try to serve the post here in any way I can.

Memorial Day, to me, is to remember those who passed away in order for us to be here today. Also, my grandson, my son, it’s important to teach them the history. My grandson is 10 and he’s marching in the parade. We have to go buy him a white shirt, navy blue pants, white sneakers. He goes to Archer School. This is the first time he’s playing the French horn! From generation to generation, the history has to be handed down as to the meaning of it. My son is a fireman here in Freeport. His name is Herve Neptune. My grandson is Herve Neptune Jr. I just feel proud we have three generations marching in the parade. I’ve had people chew me out when I say, if we had the draft here, the problems we have now, we’d never have, because in the military you learn discipline, you learn honesty, you learn God and country.

It’s all smiles for Bayview Avenue students Students from Freeport Public Schools’ Bayview Avenue School of Arts and Sciences are showing off their pearly whites after receiving free dental services during Give Kids a Smile Day. In partnership with the Nassau County Dental Society, students from kindergarten to fourth grade received free dental exams and fluoride treatments for all students, and sealants for third and fourth grade students, with parental permission. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Bayview Avenue students and school nurse Lisa Rabinowitz, in conjunction with the event organizer Dr. “Joe” Brofsky, were the faces for the dental wellness day and helped to create the dental video shown during past events, which were held at the Cradle of Aviation Museum. This year,
Dr. Brofsky wanted to bring the event to Bayview to ensure students could receive free dental care. Donning red shirts for the event, students from different grade levels were called at specific times to the school’s gymnasium, which was transformed so dentists and dentistry students could perform their dental services in a familiar child-friendly atmosphere. Following their cleanings, students went outside to the school’s playground to learn more about the importance of daily dental hygiene. A puppet show station taught students how to properly brush their teeth, a nutrition station explained how certain foods can be good or bad for dental hygiene, and students got to meet and dance with special guests Superman, the Tooth Fairy, Cookie Monster and Mr. Met.

During the breakfast celebration, awards and scholarships were given to students who demonstrated academic excellence, achievement, community service, leadership and educational growth in a variety of areas including science, social science, American History and more. “This is a great day to celebrate,” said Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Kishore Kuncham as he addressed the award recipients. “Thank you for being who you are. Your ability to overcome and face challenges and obstacles, all the life lessons you have learned, have created your path for success and you’re going to make a difference in this wonderful world.” The awards were provided by New York State, Nassau County, and the Town of Hempstead. In addition, many universities, organizations, and institutes offered awards including the Rochester Institute of Technology, St. Michael’s College and the University of Rochester. The district is proud of its students and congratulates them for their accomplishments.

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.
FREEPORT HERALD — May 26, 2022
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-
STAFF REPORT 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

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.

Strength in numbers and a clutch performance by its fourth doubles tandem led Freeport boys’ tennis to a share of the Conference IV title this spring. The Red Devils won 12 of 14 matches to secure their best season under sixth-year coach Ousmane Diouf, who attributed much of the success to a roster he had to limit to 20. “We were really struggling with enrollment for tennis until this year,” Diouf said. “It’s not the most popular sport in Freeport when you’ve got football and basketball and wrestling and lacrosse, but somehow things changed and I had to make cuts for the first time since I’m coaching the team. “I really hope the level of interest continues,” he added. “I always try to recruit my students to play, but the roster grew much more than that. Anyone else who helped I urge them to do the same next year because we had so many kids show up for tryouts.” Freeport’s top two singles player returned in the same position he held in 2021. Junior Jaden Easy finished his third varsity campaign with a dozen wins, overcoming what Diouf said were “slow starts” in a few. “Jaden has a good all-around game and he gets stronger as the match goes on,” he said. “He really improved his serve and still has to work on getting his forehand more consistent. But he loves tennis and is skillful.” At second singles, newcomer Isaiah Lucas, a freshman who transferred from Queens, thrived and also won 12 match-

COaChEd BY OuSMaNE Diouf, right, Freeport took home a share of the Conference IV boys’ tennis championship this spring. es. “He has all the skills,” Diouf said. “He can beat people with his serve, forehand and backhand. I knew watching him hit on the first day of practice he had talent and was going to be a big addition.” Senior Myles Hollingsworth, a captain along with Easy, vaulted into the third singles spot after contributing at doubles since his freshman year. Hollingsworth made great strides in his game, Diouf said, and handled the pressure of singles well. “He lost a few very close matches but he’s a great leader who improved a lot from last sea-
son,” the coach noted. Hollingswor th, Ismael Nunez and Kevin Larios were the only seniors on the roster, but Diouf said they will be greatly missed. Nunez featured an accurate two-handed backhand and meshed well with Christian John at third doubles. John, a tall lefty, brought a powerful serve. Freshmen John Carlo Rivera and Ricardo Romero formed the top pairing and brought athleticism and some experience. “They practiced against each other playing singles and made for a nice team,” Diouf said.
Carlos Ventura and Erik Cruz both served well and made for a winning duo at third singles, while Jesse Menjivar and Dorian Trotman comprised the fourth doubles tandem. In the May 12 season finale, Freeport and West Hempstead were tied 3-3 with the fourth doubles position still in action as the deciding court. Menjivar and Trotman knew what was at stake and came through. “Everyone was watching,” Diouf said. “When our guys got the winning point, the kids went crazy.”

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Annual event — featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels — 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.”

Achong and Murphy have seen donations drop before in response to circumstances like those they are seeing now. “People feel unable to give donations like they usually give because of food and gas prices rising,” said Murphy. “We’re also seeing shortages from our board donors, Long Island Cares, Island Harvest,” said Achong, “because they’re getting less. Where we were getting thirty pallets a month from them, we’re down to six or seven or eight.” Meanwhile, the pantry is getting more requests now than a few months ago. A significant number come from families who had managed to make ends meet until recently. “We’ve got a whole window of people that we weren’t seeing before,” Murphy explained. “Even if they’re not below the poverty line, some of their mortgages have gone up, then they’ve got the food inflation, the gas inflation. If one person loses a job out of a household, they’re feeling the pinch.” At her office computer, Murphy brought up the statistics that support her words. The numbers come from the forms that each applicant for a shopping cart must complete upon arrival at the pantry. Murphy inputs the numbers to a spreadsheet. Choosing a spreadsheet from a date in late April, Murphy read out, “So, this particular day, 65 households, 104 children, 157 adults, 19 seniors. So by the time we add these all up, we served almost 5,000 people last month—2,773 adults, 324 seniors, 313 new clients, only 2 veterans, 1,218 households.” The combined uptick of new recipients with the downturn of donations has forced LICC to tighten its giving policy. “When the pandemic hit, they could come four times a month,” Achong said. “Now we’ve had to tell them, only twice a month. If it gets worse, then they’re only going to be able to come once a month.” Another category of recipient is the
undocumented. “They don’t have access to the resources of a citizen,” Achong said. “And not only that,” Murphy added, “those are the people that used to get work from Home Depot, or off the books work, but now citizens who lost their jobs in the pandemic are taking those spaces,” leaving undocumented workers without the employment stream they once had. The donors from partner churches are still coming, like Marilyn and Tommy Rodahan, who bring bags of nonperishables from the United Presbyterian Church in Levittown. Thomas Hodge comes too, from the United Church of Christ in Rockville Centre. “Once a month, during Communion Sunday, we collect food,” Hodge said. Another man named Tom in his church always gives diapers and baby formula. In addition, Hodge and his wife periodically run a collection through the United Christian Church Nursery School, which they founded 52 years ago. “We want the children to learn about giving,” Hodge said. Food insecurity is more than a matter of compassion. It also affects community health. “When people can’t get good food, it weakens their immune systems,” said Murphy. “They’re catching the colds, they’re catching the flus, they’re getting iron deficiency,” especially if they have to fill up on food low on nutrition, but high in cholesterol and carbohydrates. “Another concern for us is that people might be eating food or meat that’s out of date because they don’t have a choice,” said Achong. “So they’ll get sick because it’s either this or nothing.” A sicker populace, of course, puts pressure on the community’s medical facilities, causes lost work days, and lowers the community’s wealth. Making sure the food gets handed out motivates the volunteers who come to pack the shopping carts. As one volunteer said, “I just want to help the community.”
Volunteers CoMe daily to pack shopping carts with canned and dry foods, milk, fresh produce, and whichever meats or fish have been donated by area supermarkets.

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. The rest of us old college newspaper
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.

Your voice is more important now than ever
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
