Four hundred FiFteen Freeport High School graduates received their diplomas at the ceremony on June 16.
415 victorious graduates Smiling families fill the bleachers By reine BethAnY rbethany@liherald.com
Parents and children piled out of their cars in a Hofstra University parking lot on the evening of June 16, and hurried toward James M. Shuart Stadium to share in their loved ones’ graduation from Freeport High School. Stopping for quick selfies outside the stadium doors, then eagerly passing the security gate at the entrance, they picked up elegant graduation programs and found seats in the bleachers that they hoped would afford them the best view of their graduates.
At precisely 6 p.m., the high school’s Symphony Orchestra struck up Sir Edward Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance.” With measured dignity, school administrators, school board members and other Freeport personages, as well as the high school valedictorian, salutatorian and senior class president, made their way from the rear of the stadium to the stage. Immediately following, hundreds of students in red or white graduation gowns paced calmly to their seats on the floor in front of the stage. Most of them had decorated the tops of their mortarboard caps, some with the names of the colleges they Continued on page 12

Juneteenth was busting out all over Formerly unheard-of holiday celebrated widely
Eisenhower Park, East Meadow
By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
Juneteenth? What’s that?
More and more people know the answer to that question nowadays. In the past two years, festivals have sprouted nationwide to celebrate June 19. New York state made it an official state holiday in October of 2020. Eight months later, President Biden signed a bill making the date a federal holiday. On June 19, 1965, Union Major-General Gordon Granger brought the news that all slaves were freed to the last Confederate holdout in Galveston, Texas — more than two years after President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863. Because the Union enforcement of the proclamation spread so slowly across America’s states and territories, African-Americans coined the word “Juneteenth” to establish a day celebrating their freedom from slavery. In Freeport, the Town of Hempstead and Nassau County, Juneteenth was commemorated widely.
Zion Cathedral, Freeport
Bishop Frank A. White and the congregation of Zion Cathedral combined Father’s Day and Juneteenth, which coincided this year. In a program on Saturday night, the church mixed dance, song and poetry with the presentation of the Ubora Awards, honoring 12 high-achieving Black men in Freeport and the surrounding area. “Ubora” is Swahili for “excellence.” Area activist and businesswoman Shelley Brazley delivered a tribute to the men being honored, and to the Black men of
AT ZIoN CATHEdRAl in Freeport last Saturday night, Asajahnique Collins danced while attendees sang “Lift Ev’ry Voice and Sing,” also known as the Black national anthem. America who, over the centuries, have faced persecution and death in the fight for equality. “Whereas we have intentionally set aside this time to celebrate you,” Brazley said, “you, our brothers, are the epitome
of Black excellence. Your strength, your intellect, resilience and brilliance are an inspiration to us. Doing your absolute best is never good enough for you. You strive to surpass your own expectations.”
Julius Pearse, a Freeport resident since 1962, figured prominently in the festival hosted on Sunday by Nassau County at the Harry Chapin Lakeside Theatre in Eisenhower Park. Pearse, 89, became Freeport’s first Black police officer in the early 1960s. He and his wife, Joysetta, who died last June, actively promoted the commemoration of Black achievement, ultimately becoming the directors of the African American Museum of Nassau County. The couple were honored in May 2021, when their names were added to the museum title. Speaking from a chair on the lawn in front of the theater band shell, Pearse said, “At the African American Museum, we have dedicated ourselves to producing hidden history, and finding historical facts about Black inventors and business people that you would not find in a history book. This country would not be where it is today if it had not been for the hard work and dedication of people of African descent.” The festival was sponsored by County Legislators Siela Bynoe, Kevan Abrahams and Carrié Solages, and featured remarks from prominent Black leaders, a children’s African dance troupe, the voices of the Rhythm of the Knight show choir, from Uniondale High School, and music by jazz trumpeter Everton Bailey and his group the Instrumental Sounds of Praise. Attendees sat on the sunny hillside sloping down to the theater, or browsed colorful vendors’ tables. Among the vendors was a former Freeport villager named Jerie Gross, who graduated from Freeport High School in 1996. She was Continued on page 17

De La Salle completes another successful year By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
Since 2002, the De La Salle School at 87 Pine Street in Freeport has provided opportunity, hope, and choices for a future to boys in grades 5 through 8 who come from economically disadvantaged families. Graduation took place on Friday, June 10, with a Mass of thanksgiving at 12:10 p.m., followed by an award ceremony for outstanding scholars. Diplomas were presented at the school at 7 p.m. This graduation now marks the 17th graduation class. In total, 239 students have graduated from the De La Salle School. As in the past several years, this year, all 17 graduates were accepted into the Catholic high school of their choice, which is one sign of the school’s strong development across the two decades. The excellence of the school’s curriculum and staff quality is demonstrated not only by the students’ scholastic achievements, but by the mentoring that continues throughout their high school years. “With the growing reputation of the school,” said executive director William L. Gault, “we are getting donors who are

course, for free, that would cost upwards of $3,000 elsewhere,” Gault said. “We offer weekly study halls, tutoring, mentoring — the kind of thing that obviously didn’t exist here in the beginning. And that program continues to grow and expand as we move forward.” Commenting on the deep importance of the mentoring program and the tuition scholarships, Gault said, “We don’t want to graduate them and then send them back to a circumstance that wouldn’t allow them the benefits that we’re trying to provide for them.” Another chance for the school to celebrate its 2021-2022 achievements was the 20th Anniversary Gala on June 3. This year’s honoree was Peter Scalamandre, a founding member of the school. His wife, Connie Scalamandre, is no less a part of the institution. She spearheaded the 20th Anniversary Committee. “Scalamandre spoke so eloquently about his service and commitment to the school,” said Gault, “and how the young men who have graced our halls have so profoundly affected his life.” Gault thanked everyone who has faithfully donated to the school and to the committee that helped make this year’s gala “the most successful in the school’s history.”

Legislators: Put fentanyl test strips into kits
W IN NER
FREEPORT HERALD — June 23, 2022
Flanked by community leaders and recovery advocates on the front steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building, Nassau County Legislators Delia DeRiggi-Whitton (D - Glen Cove), Arnold W. Drucker (D - Plainview) and Debra Mulé (D - Freeport) unveiled proposed legislation on Tuesday that would require the inclusion of fentanyl-detecting test strips in Narcan kits distributed by Nassau County agencies. Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid which experts at the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) have determined is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Secretly fentanyl-laced drugs have caused a tragic increase in overdeaths. The 2018 FORECAST study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health determined the inexpensive strips are simple to use and have a high level of accuracy in detecting fentanyl in drug samples. Fentanyl testing strips cost $1 each. Including them with Narcan kits would help identify tainted drugs and prevent accidental overdoses. The strip must contact fentanyl in order to detect it. If a person has ingested a substance such as marijuana or heroin, and experiences an unexpectedly dangerous effect, then concerned individuals can dissolve that substance in water and dip a strip into the solution to find out, in 5 minutes, whether fentanyl has been cut into it. “Fentanyl has dramatically raised the stakes of our ongoing battle to conquer the opioid drug addiction crisis,” said Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton, ranking member of the Nassau County Legislature’s Health & Social Services Committee. “For many years, we have witnessed the life-saving capabilities of Narcan and how receiving a reprieve from an overdose can be a catalyst for successful treatment and long-term recovery,” Legislator Mulé said. “Pairing fentanyl detection testing strips with the Narcan kits we dis-

Kits come with directions stapled to the package; the proposed Nassau legislation would similarly require instructions to be included. “These test strips are so important in terms of pre-

venting overdoses,” Graham-Wilson said. “We have individuals that have told us they are only using marijuana, “ Graham-Wilson said, “but when we do toxicology, sometimes the substance is laced with fentanyl — and they are so shocked and surprised.” Additional recovery advocates and community leaders from across Nassau County expressed their support. Claudia Rotondo, executive director of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse; Dr. Sharon Harris, executive director of the Glen Cove-based substance Abuse Free Environments; and Jeff Stone, president of the Port Washington-based Project Help Long island, all attended the news conference and offered support based on their experience and knowledge of the opioid crisis.

HOfstRA WON tHE Colonial Athletic Association baseball tournament title, marking the first conference championship in program history. By ANDREW COEN Correspondent
When Anthony D’Onofrio first committed to the Hofstra baseball team as a sophomore at Wantagh High School, he saw potential for big strides for a local program he grew up following. Six years later, D’Onofrio was a catalyst in Hofstra reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history after capturing the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title with four straight wins in the doubleelimination tournament Memorial Day weekend. The accomplishment was made even more improbable by the fact Hofstra was picked in the preseason to finish dead last in the nine team CAA. “To be ranked last in the preseason and finish in third place in the regular and go 4-0 in the playoffs and shock the whole conference really felt great,” said D’Onofrio, who hit three home runs this season as a senior center fielder including a leadoff homer in Hofstra’s 7-6 win against Northeastern on May 29 that clinched the CAA championship. “It was a crazy experience.” D’Onofrio, who will return in 2023 as a graduate student for an extra year of eligibility due to losing most of the 2020 season because of the Covid-19 pandemic, ignited Hofstra’s CAA tourney run with an infield single leading off the bottom of the ninth-inning before scoring the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Steve Harrington in a 4-3 win against Elon. The Pride kept the momentum the next day with a 4-3 victory in 10 innings versus second-seeded Elon and on May 27 and then knocked off Northeastern 8-7 in extra innings the next day on a Santino Rosso RBI double in the bottom of the 10th to advance to the CAA finals stage. Hofstra made history in achieving the school’s first conference baseball crown with its third walk-off win of the CAA tourney when Ryan Morash was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to score Brian Morrell and cap a 7-6 victory and set off a massive celebration. “To think that the program had never won a conference championship in its existence going back to 1938 is really

The Pride were sent to an NCAA Regional at North Carolina where it took an early lead on the ACC champions before ultimately falling, 15-4. Hofstra’s magical season then concluded the next day with a loss to Georgia in a nationally televised game on SEC Network.

The Pride’s roster includes 10 from Nassau County in D’Onofrio, Anthony Fontana (Wantagh), Michael Florides (Glen Cove), Luke Napolitano (Rockville Centre), Mike McKenna (Farmingdale), Matt Pelcher (Merrick), Frankie DiMartino (Bethpage), Chris Keenan (Seaford) and Danny Kelleher (Rockville Centre). Catalanotto, who previously led New York Tech to the Division II College World Series in 2019 before the school suspended athletics in summer 2020, said bringing Hofstra to the NCAAs ranks very high on his list of accomplishments, especially since he never experienced the MLB postseason. After a breakthrough season, the expectations will only increase for 2023. “Now the target is on our back,” Catalanotto said. “We set a high standard and luckily these guys have bought in.”

On Friday evening, the Freeport Fire Department posted a notice to its Facebook page: “Around 1pm, our Dept. was notified of a rubbish fire behind a commercial business on Hanse Ave. Arriving units encountered a large fire in a junkyard. First arriving pumper, unit 211 from Ever Ready Hose Co. 1, was able to see the large volume of smoke from a distance, and stretched in once on scene. Numerous master streams from aerial devices and large-diameter hose to supply as was utilized to extinguish the fire. Mutual aid was provided by numerous surrounding departments as well as the Nassau County Fire Marshal’s office bringing rehab, investigation, and unmanned aerial drone units. Operations were under the command of Chief Kevin Collica, 2101. There were no injuries and all units were back in the firehouses in approximately 2.5 hours. Thank you to all Depts for their assistance.” Howard Colton, Freeport’s village attorney, said, “There was a fire basically in a rubbish pile there and the fire dept was there within minutes of the call. And the fire department plus surrounding mutual aid departments were able to extinguish the fire. Unfortunately, when you have that type of fire, things are going to burn, so what you do in that instance is concentrate as much water as possible to drown it. Whenever you have a fire like that, the fire department automatically brings in other departments, like Baldwin would come in, North Merrick, Oceanside. It was purely a rubbish fire. It just took time to put out.” Cathy Loquercio, the receptionist at the AHRC Work Center nearby on Hanse Avenue, told the Herald around 2 p.m., “We’re good, we’re very good right now.

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

any called them heroes at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. But for anyone who has ever paid attention at a hospital or any medical facility, they’ve always been super. Honoring them is long overdue, but more than 400 people gathered to do just that at The Heritage Club in Bethpage last week for the Herald’s premiere Long Island Excellence in Healthcare Awards. Hosted by RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers with presenting sponsor FirstNet, Built with AT&T, some 40 of health care’s best from across Nassau County — and from Suffolk County as well — were honored June 15. Dr. Adhi Sharma, president of Mount Sinai South Nassau, was among those honored. And what’s happening at the Oceanside facility has the executive more excited than ever. “Right now, Mount Sinai South Nassau is undergoing a transformation,” he said. “We will be adding a number of advanced programs — including open-heart surgery, advanced neurosurgical techniques, and advanced stroke rescue techniques.” In his acceptance speech for being named one of Long Island’s outstanding hospital leaders, Sharma reflected not only on work already done, but also what’s planned for the MaurEEN future. WHItE “We look forward to this era beyond the pandemic,” he said, executive vice while “going back to typical care president, for our patients and working Northwell Health with the technology advancements we’ve gotten as a result of the pandemic.” Maureen White, executive vice president and chief nurse executive at Northwell Health, called the past two years or so “uncharted water.” “To see how we’ve come together in health care to navigate these uncharted and turbulent waters on behalf of our patients, it’s been very inspiring,” she added. The keynote was delivered by White’s boss, Northwell’s president and chief executive Michael Dowling. He couldn’t attend the ceremony itself — where he was honored for his lifetime achievement — because he’s traveling overseas, but he did sit down with Herald executive editor Michael Hinman on video to share what health care is like in a post-Covid world. “I never look at the world through the lens of challenges,” Dowling said. “I look at the world through the lens of opportunity. So to me, it’s the opportunity to continue to provide better care. To deal with prevention, wellness, the social determinants issues, dealing with food insecurity, dealing with lifestyle behaviors, and focusing more on those communities across the region in dire need.” So much focus has been given to Covid-19 in recent years — and rightfully so — but that isn’t the only health issue facing many people. Work must continue in other fields as well, like what Bruce Stillman is doing at of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Oyster Bay’s Laurel Hollow. “Our most recent project was for spinal muscular atrophy, which is the most lethal genetic disease in children, that now keeps those kids alive,” the laboratory’s

But still, even his facility — which has weathered through a number of pandemics and health crises over its more than 130 years — couldn’t avoid the coronavirus. “When the pandemic started, we started working on Covid and Covid-related symptoms such as lung fibrosis,” Stillman said. “We never shut down. We kept doing research. And we’re back to normal now — or almost normal.” Honorees were not limited to the lab or hospital but also included first responders — often the first point of medical assistance in emergencies. “Law enforcement and the medical field are always together,” said Patrick Ryder, Nassau County’s police commissioner. “Whether it’s bringing patients to hospitals, our own members getting sick and needing help, 9/11 services, PTSD services — we’re always tied at the hip with the health services.“ Michael Uttaro, the county’s chief fire marshal, helps bring together emergency services in a broad community that includes more than 70 volunteer fire departments and six volunteer ambulance corps. “I assist with coordinating those units, which incorporate ambulances and EMS,” Uttaro said. “We regularly interact with hospitals, urgent care and everything in between. It’s a nice honor to be recognized for what you do.” Many of those first responders depend on FirstNet, a technology network managed by AT&T, that was first developed after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “FirstNet has been in the first responder and public safety space for well over 100 years,” said Anthony Postiglione, a public safety solutions sales executive for

It’s something we like to do to give back to the first responder community.” But it has become more than just a system for 9/11 heroes, Long Island AT&T regional manager Magdalonie Paris-Campbell said. It’s something that has been built for all of them. “It was an honor for FirstNet, Built with AT&T, to support and attend this remarkable event, and celebrate our health care and law enforcement heroes for all they have done for our community, the region, and the state of New York during the pandemic,” she said. “As they say, not all superheroes wear capes.

The FreeporT high School Select Chorale sang the national anthem and “God Bless America,” directed by Monique Retzlaff.
Joyful Freeport High graduation ceremony continued from front page planned to attend, others with flowers, butterflies, feathers, and similar symbols of happiness. One proclaimed, “Finally done!” As one, the students and their families applauded the JROTC color guard, then stood to intone the Pledge of Allegiance. All remained standing while the Select Chorale, directed by Monique Retzlaff, sang first the National Anthem and then “God Bless America” with the delicacy, power and unity that has won them music awards and taken them to Carnegie Hall. Wendy Haise, assistant principal for 12th grade, stepped forward to emcee the program. She introduced the dignitaries seated on the stage, including Freeport clergymen Stephen Michael Lewis of Bethel AME Church and Fr. Christopher Nowak of Our Holy Redeemer R.C. Church. Then she yielded the podium to the evening’s speakers, starting with senior class president Jillian Theresa Igneri. “We are a generation saddled with great responsibility,” Igneri said. “We are also united in the commitment to impress upon the world the potential, passion and creativity that are in all of us.” Superintendent Kuncham called the Freeport Class of 2022 “the change makers,” and admonished them, “Today, don’t measure yourself with anyone other than yourself. Be fearless! When you are fearless, you are creating your own opportunities.” The Freeport senior class endured the difficulties of Covid and came out of them strongly, Kuncham added. “You have persevered in the face of adversity,” said Freeport High principal Gisselle Campbell-ham, “and sacrificed in ways we could never have imagined prior to the pandemic. Be proud of your achievements, and more importantly, celebrate your resiliency and your success.” The families of salutatorian Karina Michelle Rios and valedictorian Elise Renee Smith sat together while their daughters each rose to address their classmates. The two young women have been best friends from childhood. They each thanked the other for support, and said they looked forward to their colleg years, because both will attend Stony Brook University. Rios spoke of her father’s steadfast commitment when he came from the violence of El Salvador to build a life in the United States. “The most important lesson that I learned from my dad’s stories,” said Rios, “es que en la vida se necesita ser parte de la solución, no parte del problema — which in English is, you need to be part of the solution, not part of the problem. Even though we are just teenagers, our challenges should be recognized. We are about to receive one of the most powerful tools in life: a high school diploma.”
The school’s symphonic Orchestra, directed by Jill Boardman, played ‘Pomp and Circumstance,’ accompanied the national anthem and ‘God Bless America,’ and performed other selections throughout the graduation event. “The covid experience has taken more than half our high school career,” said Smith. “This is the time to move forward. We are all presented with this wonderful opportunity to inspire change in our lives.” Campbell-Ham, Hais, and Jordan-Awalom all took part in reading out the names of the graduates and handing them their diplomas. Heads high as they heard their names, the students filed across the stage, shaking the hand of Superintendent Kuncham and receiving the hardearned scroll. Shouts, cheers, applause, and the thump of their families’ feet on the wooden platforms of the bleacher seats accompanied the procession. “The audience figured out that if they stomped, they would make a lot more noise,” laughed Joan Pinard, a Uniondale resident who had come with her daughter to see her grandson, Damani Aristilde, receive his diploma and flip the tassel of his cap to the other side. “My grandson said it was too loud! The graduates looked around to see who was making all that noise and it was the adults doing the crazy stuff.” Nonetheless, said Pinard, “It’s a positive experience for young people, to feel that they’ve reached that step and to say, ‘I made it!’ And not only my grandson, but we saw all the kids he used to walk to school with, or did activities with, all get to this point. It was very uplifting.”

Vision LI honors $1B in new development jlasso@liherald.com
Building and infrastructure projects from Ronkonkoma to Long Beach are being steadily rolled out, changing Long Island’s suburban landscape in more ways than one. Vision Long Island, the sustainable downtown development organization, shined a spotlight on 11 building projects that the organization says have helped move the needle on affordable housing and downtown revitalization. Seven of those projects can be found in Nassau County — including Freeport, Long Beach, Hempstead and Valley Stream. Through its annual Smart Growth Awards ceremony, Vision Long Island also applauded the efforts of town boards and city councils working with developers and non-profits to get these projects from concept to going vertical. But depending on the development, one might not see the finished product for at least a few more years. When completed, however, these projects will add nearly 1,300 apartments to Long Island’s housing mix, at a capital cost of more than $1 billion. Among those recognized was Freeport’s Hilton Garden Inn, a 100-room hotel on more than an acre and a half of vacant land once home to The Schooner restaurant. The popular 350-seat destination was found at the foot of Woodcleft Avenue

The prOpOSed hiLTON Garden Inn on the Nautical Mile in Freeport will rise on a barren strip of land once occupied by The Schooner restaurant and the Hunter Pointe Marina. next to the Hunter Pointe Marina before Hurricane Sandy ravaged them both, leaving a large muddy field in its wake. Costing $43 million, the venue includes both a ballroom and a 100-seat restaurant, all expected to generate 35 permanent fulltime jobs. “It has the potential to revitalize a part of the Nautical Mile that needs a shot in the arm,” said Fred Parola, executive director and chief executive of the Town of Hempstead’s Industrial Development
Agency. “It will bring tourists and business travelers who will infuse the local economy.” The Breeze, a 10-story apartment building with 238 units on Long Beach’s Superblock project, is being developed by the Engel Burman Group, joining two ninestory condo buildings stretching across six acres between Riverside and Long Beach boulevards. The $369 million project includes 6,500 square feet of boardwalk-level retail, a
restaurant, and more than 1,000 parking spaces. Condos are expected to sell between $700,000 and $1 million, while the apartments could rent as high as $4,000 a month. The project is expected to generate $130 million in new taxes over the next quarter-century. once it’s completed in 2024. In Valley Stream, honors were bestowed upon the Wellington, a multifamily complex on West Jamaica Avenue developed by Paramount Construction. There, more than 60 apartments are planned on a site where the Moore Funeral Home was once located. Officials contend the project, when finished, will provide housing alternatives for younger people not willing to leave Valley Stream, but are unable — or unwilling — to purchase their own house. “Young professionals are not singlefamily homeowners like they were in (the) 1950s in Levittown,” said Valley Stream mayor Edwin Fare, during a video presentation. “The apartment is surrounded by mixed-use. And not only will the apartment bring people who will spend their money and their time — and hopefully be involved in their community — but the building is going to be paying more taxes than the property that was there beforehand.” Additional reporting by Karina Kovac and Brendan Carpenter.

Astorino looks to wipe away political polarization By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com
There aren’t many people who can say they’ve come close to beating Andrew Cuomo — especially at the height of the former governor’s popularity. But Rob Astorino can. Running with Chemung County Sheriff Chris Moss in 2014, Astorino challenged Cuomo, but fell short by a little more than 500,000 votes. So put him up against the current incumbent governor, Kathy Hochul, and the Westchester County executive believes he has a better chance than any other Republican on the June 28 primary ballot. “We did not have the money at the end to compete,” Astorino told a team of reporters in the Herald Roundtable session. “We were outspent eight to one.” And it didn’t help Astorino to not have the rest of the Republican Party behind him. There were reports after the election that Cuomo and state GOP leaders had hashed out a “non-aggression” pact ahead of the voting that essentially pushed Astorino aside. Those particular Republicans are gone now — and Cuomo is, too, following a sexual harassment scandal that forced him to resign last year. Astorino sees Hochul as not much more than a placeholder, and if she wins the Democratic nomination next week, it might be a perfect chance for Republicans to return to the executive

WEstCHEstEr CouNty ExECutIvE Rob Astorino is no stranger to statewide campaigns, coming within a half-million votes of toppling Andrew Cuomo back in 2014. But to have another chance at the executive mansion, Astorino first has to get through a crowded field of Republicans. mansion. Crime is something that really has Astorino’s attention, especially when visitors from outside the country make it clear they don’t want to go anywhere near New York City. Democrats, he says, have been too soft on crime. “You know, maybe the original concept of bail reform was one that was worth having a discussion,” Astorino said. “I
don’t want some nonviolent first offender to be rotting away in jail, or to have a record that he or she is not going to be able to overcome. However, when we have criminals who are career criminals and thugs and violent criminals, we’ve got to set the example.” And even if Astorino takes over the state’s top job and finds himself facing a Democratic iron curtain, the gubernatori-
al hopeful says he’ll just push his agenda through the state budgeting process, where he would have significant power to create his own legislation beyond the Assembly and Senate. Like the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs a number of transit services, including the Long Island Rail Road. “The MTA is an absolute and utter mess,” Astorino said. “It is wasting money left and right. And nobody wants to say, ‘Well, let’s fix the problem first’ before we create all these new multi-billion-dollar projects and programs.” Astorino is against congestion pricing in Manhattan’s Financial District, and says those extra fees won’t hit those with big wallets, but instead much smaller businesses. Winning this race is going to require finding common ground in a political environment that’s quite polarized. But Astorino believes he can do it. “We can appeal — and I have to appeal — to those who don’t ordinarily vote Republican,” he said. “There are a lot of reasonable things that we do that cross party lines. So, you know, I think definitely, come November, I’m the best candidate that could actually get elected.”
‘Community organizer’ ready to make a difference By MICHAEL HINMAN
Candidate talk
mhinman@liherald.com
When he first ran for president in 2008, Barack Obama took a lot of flak from opponents over his college days as a “community organizer” — work that has never been easy to define. Especially for Jumaane Williams in his own post-college days, long before anyone knew who Obama was. “No one had any idea what that was,” Williams told a team of reporters in a Herald Roundtable session. “My mother asked me to please get a real job, and I had to tell her it was a real job.” His parents had emigrated from Grenada in the 1970s, and pushed for both Jumaane and his brother to get a good education. Williams did just that at Brooklyn College, earning a political science degree and later a master’s in urban policy. A few years later, he was a Brooklyn city councilman, toppling an incumbent a year after that other community organizer made it into the White House. And within a decade, he was New York City’s public advocate — the city’s ombudsman, for lack of a better term — that has been a major steppingstone for predecessors including former Mayor Bill de Blasio and current state Attorney General Letitia James. If he wants to have a chance to move to Albany, Williams will have to hark back to those days of upending incum-
Herald Community Newspapers provided a chance for all of New York’s gubernatorial candidates to meet with an editorial team to present their views and answer questions. This week, we have included sessions with candidates Rob Astorino, Jumaane Williams and Harry Wilson. Last week, we featured Andrew Giuliani and Tom Suozzi. All sessions can be found on our website, LIHerald.com. Neither Gov. Kathy Hochul nor U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin responded to invitations to join the roundtable.

JuMAANE WILLIAMs HAs been New York City’s public advocate since 2019 — a job that has led to higher office for many of his predecessors, including former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and current state Attorney General Letitia James. Williams hopes he can leap from that job to the executive mansion. bents, because observers say Gov. Kathy Hochul will be hard to beat — especially for a fellow Democrat. “I ran against Kathy in 2018, and I said that if you had a lieutenant governor that was not willy-nilly, but when necessary, would stand up to the governor, we would be better off,” Williams said. “And that proved more right than even I thought, particularly as we got into this pandemic, and wrong decision after wrong decision was happening.” The biggest problem now, as it was then, is priorities, Williams said. New
Yorkers have their priorities, and Cuomo — and later Hochul — had their own. “The priorities that were made in this (most recent) budget were not the priorities of New Yorkers,” Williams said. “To not have any funding for housing vouchers. To not put in money we asked for, for gun violence prevention. But to instead focus on a stadium being built outside of Buffalo” for the NFL’s Bills. Democrats, for the most part, have the right idea when it comes to turning society around, Williams said. But the “Democratic Party does not do a good job talk-
ing about public safety, or the economy, for that matter.” Williams said he has a plan to put New York back on the right track, but first it requires listening to what the state’s residents have to say. And listening is what he has spent much of his entire political career doing, and what he will continue to do, he added, if elected governor. “If we don’t know the intersection of housing and health care and public safety now, we never will,” Williams said. “We cannot say we’re going to let the rest of New Yorkers languish … and then send the police department to do on the back end what we fail to do on the front end. “That’s just, I think, a selfish false choice.”
Wilson dedicated to looking out for the ‘little guy’ mhinman@liherald.com
Harry Wilson doesn’t have the most recognizable name among those running for governor — in either party. But then again, as the self-proclaimed turnaround expert might say, maybe he should. It’s not like Wilson hasn’t sought office before. Hailing from Johnstown — less than an hour north of Albany — Wilson ran for state comptroller in 2010, losing to longtime incumbent Thomas DiNapoli. But now Wilson is ready to move from company executive to state executive, looking to be the Republicans’ representative on the November ballot to take back the governor’s office. “The two things that I think are essential for a successful candidate for governor,” Wilson recently told reporters at a Herald Roundtable. “One is the ability to actually fix this broken state, not just manage the decline, as I think most other candidates are proposing to do. “And the second thing is, to do that, I have to win.” That’s easier said than done. Other Republicans in the race, like Andrew Giuliani, Lee Zeldin and even Rob Astorino, have far better name recognition. But running a state government

isn’t much different from running a business, Wilson said. It’s just that many politicians wouldn’t know the first thing to do in the latter situation, since they’ve never run a business. “I’m not a partisan,” Wilson said. “I am a very deeply, philosophically, limited-government conservative across the
board, so I’m happy to talk about that. But, basically, I’ve been really focused on delivering results for my business, customers and stakeholders. And in my political focus, on taxpayers and voters.” Wilson describes his core principals as lower taxes, lower cost of living and safer streets. And he believes he can ful-

fill those goals with the Legislature, whether it’s run by Republicans or Democrats. “I have negotiated hundreds of deals with all kinds of entrenched stakeholders, with unions, who were kind of set in their ways,” Wilson said. “I always came to these companies that are in or near bankruptcy, so everybody’s mad. They’ve lost a lot of money, and they may have been worried about their jobs. “I have to deal with that, and create a new vision that people can believe in and rally around. And create a plan that people can support and work toward together.” That even means taking positions that Republicans traditionally have not — like the fact that Wilson is pro-choice, and says he would protect women’s reproductive rights. For him, it’s the first step in bringing a highly polarized electorate back together. And as governor, that’s what Wilson intends to do. “I’m looking out for the little guy,” he said. “Small businesses. Regular people, and creating the environment so they can all thrive through their own merit.”

Molloy celebrates the new ‘U’ with $2M gift By tOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com
Molloy University not only has a new name, but it also has a new gift — a $2 million one the school describes as its largest single gift in its 67-year history. It was delivered by S. Zaki Hossain, president of Pintail Coffee, a Farmingdale-based “charitable roaster” as it’s described, which he helped found in 2013. The donation headlined the first largescale, in-person event for the school with its new university status. What was formed as an all-women’s’ school in 1955 by the Sisters of St. Dominic in Amityville has grown to a roster of 4,800 undergraduate and graduate students. Hossain’s donation will be earmarked for Molloy’s new workforce development program, intended to provide training for private industry employees, with a focus on health care. Molloy’s Barbara H. Hagan School of Nursing was ranked among the best nursing master’s program and best doctor of nursing practices in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. “Zaki serves as a shining example of the great promise of America, which is that tremendous things can be achieved through education, integrity and education,” John McEntee, chair of Molloy’s board of trustees, said during the densely packed ceremony. “I know that generations of Molloy students will benefit from

He spent a decade in the engineering field before launching Modern Packaging in 1989, which helped develop of the K-Cup manufacturing tech-
nology used by millions today for singleserve hot beverages like coffee and teas. “I always felt that preparing our graduates with experience in the real field is very important,” Hossain said. “I feel my success is going to be when somebody comes to me and says that, ‘Because of you, my life is so much better.’” Hossain’s Pintail Coffee is on a mis-
sion to address hunger globally, donating every single cent of the company’s profits to hunger-relief organizations. James Lentini, Molloy’s president, said donations like Hossain’s will help the school expand its role in educating health care professionals. He also thanked former president Drew Bogner and state education department Regent Roger Tilles for their work toward attaining university status for Molloy. As part of the festivities, the university also announced a partnership with Catholic Health Services, which operates Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre. Molloy nurses have continued to reinforce the workforce pipeline, which has been especially important during the Covid-19 pandemic. “We share the same values, as we are Catholic institutions, founded in faith and driven by mission,” said Dr. Patrick O’Shaughnessy, president and chief executive of Catholic Health. “Many of the students who graduate from Molloy with nursing degrees come to Catholic Health to commence their careers in health care, and are a huge asset in our vital work.” Molloy will also continue its work with another local hospital, Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside. The university has seen many of its nursing gradates begin their careers there, Lentini added, and Mount Sinai will show its appreciation by sponsoring the 2022 Summer Series of shows at Molloy’s Madison Theatre.
Lifeguard shortage coming soon to pool near you Town supervisor successfully calls on governor to lower age minimums By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com
Beaches and pools need just one thing to be successful — sunshine. But to stay open, there’s just one more requirement: lifeguards. And for the second straight year, lifeguards are not easy to find, threatening the summer of young and old alike. But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Town of Hempstead supervisor Don Clavin. In fact, New York can solve its statewide shortage of lifeguards quite simply: lower the minimum age requirement for certification from 16 to 15. Clavin called on Gov. Kathy Hochul to do just that last week, saying 15-year-olds could guard kiddie pools and splash pads. Hochul apparently ag reed. She approved the change the same night she received Clavin’s letter. “Permitting 15-year-olds to serve as lifeguards at spray pads and kiddie pools under supervision of more senior guards would greatly expand the pool of eligible lifeguard candidates,” Clavin wrote. “Staffing spray pads and kiddie pools with younger lifeguards will permit older, more experienced guards to fill vacancies at beaches and regular-sized pools that desperately require their services.” Luckily, the Town of Hempstead are not suffering through a shortage, Clavin

But the rest of the state is. “This is an opportunity to get people back in the pool,” he said. “It’s an opportunity for a lot of young men and women who want to really get into this and are ready at age 15.” The town currently has 180 beach lifeguards on call, with another 300 staffing
pools. Hempstead managed to evade a shortage by offering classes in the winter months, Clavin said, allowing would-be lifeguards to be ready to work by summer. Nassau County runs weekly programs to get prospective lifeguards tested and certified, Clavin said. Nassau lifeguards are required to take
American Red Cross training. “They go through that course, they learn rescues and various skills and so forth,” Justine Anderson, the Town of Hempstead’s aquatic director, said. Once that course is done, the prospects take what Anderson calls a rigorous certification test. That includes complete two laps in 40 seconds, and eight laps in less than three minutes and 45 seconds. There are differences between lifeguarding a pool with a deep end, Anderson said, and a kiddie pool and splash pad. “A seasoned lifeguard knows what to see in the water, they know what active drowning looks like,” she said. “At a kiddie pool, mostly the parents are in the water with the child, so you’re really just watching the parents hold their children.” Age doesn’t determine whether or not someone is going to be a good lifeguard, Anderson said. Maturity level does. “Kids at 15 years old are babysitting,” Town councilman Dennis Dunne said. “So if you leave (15-year-olds) at home with your kids when you go out, you can leave them at the pool.” The training courses are open to anyone from any town or hamlet, Clavin added. “We are the chief certifier,” he said. “This is about everybody in the equation from New York City, to Westchester to upstate New York.”

Black Legacy Partners in Hicksville
Black Legacy Partners formed in 2020 to support Black culture and business. It held its second annual Juneteenth Cultural Festival at the Hicksville station on Sunday, with more than 40 vendors, as well as musical performers and speakers. The Uniondale High School show choir performed at the event (in addition to the county festival in Eisenhower Park and a festival in the Hamptons). Uniondale High School senior Jayden A. Alce, a three-year show choir veteran,
said, “An event like this means a lot, representing people around here with different kinds of cultural backgrounds, so definitely a homey kind of vibe.” “We’re one of the first minority choirs around here to travel and win competitions,” said operatically trained Uniondale High School junior C.J. Allen, “so it’s good to be around here and celebrate our culture.” Freeporter Zakiya Cush, a Black Legacy Partners fan, displayed bakery products from her business, Grand-Mère. “I love honoring what they’re doing,” Cush said, “bringing the community out and just kind of showing the light on female entrepreneurs like myself and Blackowned businesses.”

Q. We started planning a project to add a room, 303 square feet, in 2015, and due to many delays, we received approval for a permit only in January of this year. The costs from when we originally started planning until now increased from an estimated $80,000 to almost $200,000. Part of the work was to remove the previous owner’s handicapped-accessible deck with a permitted roof, which, thankfully, we don’t need. We got an alternative estimate for a paving-block patio, which we understand doesn’t need a permit in our town if it’s on the ground. The contractor even said we could cover the entire yard. We still want to keep the roof, so do we need a permit for the patio, and do we need a permit for the footings to continue supporting the roof we want to keep?

A. You can see, firsthand, what has happened with the economy and costs. Fortunately, you have an alternative to save money. People who are planning enclosed rooms aren’t as fortunate in the economy we’re now facing. I have always recommended patios, properly drained, supported and finished, over the other onte eeper choice of decking, where possible, not just because many jurisdictions don’t require a permit for the paving, but also because the maintenance is less for a patio, and it will last much longer than a deck system. Some communities have regulations for a permit to be filed for paving to show the authorities that the paving is “permeable” — that it still allows rain to seep into the ground to recharge the water supply deep in the earth below. Your location is in a town that doesn’t require a permit for anything that’s built less than 8¼ inches above the ground. Incidentally, the magic of 8¼ inches isn’t arbitrary; it’s the maximum height of a step in the building code. I just returned from a trade fair where I had the opportunity to discuss material pricing with many suppliers, and the consensus is that prices for commodity materials such a raw lumber and cement will begin to fluctuate downward, but many said that they don’t anticipate manufactured items to come down again. Just as real estate has seen a dramatic increase, so now have materials and construction in general. The biggest concern we should all have, if we care about the next generation and the health of our economy, is whether they will ever be able to afford what their parents had. Currently, only 9 percent of the next generation of American families own or have a mortgage on a home, while the majority of the generation has had to find alternatives, such as multi-generational living arrangements or apartments, trailers or recreational vehicles as permanent living, according to Building magazine, among other building information resources. I hope the existing deck roof already has a correct supporting footing in the ground. If not, good luck!

report just published by ERASE Racism explores how equitably educational resources are available across school districts on Long Island — and specifically, whether they vary depending on a district’s racial composition. The results are startling, and the implications for the Town of Hempstead are disturbing. The report, “Unequal Resources for Long Island Students Based on race,” analyzes school districts by race. Of the 125 districts on Long Island, the report focuses on 66, ELAinE which fall into the following four cateGRoss gories: 11 intensely segregated (90 to 100 percent nonwhite), 10 majority Black and Hispanic (50 to 89 percent), five racially diverse (40 to 60 percent white), and 40 predominantly white (at least 70 percent). The research reveals, among other findings, that the 11 intensely segregated districts have, on average, nearly $10,000 less in annual revenue per student than predominantly white districts. The most segregated districts also have more students for every guidance counselor and social
i
worker than predominantly white districts. On average, there is one guidance counselor for every 1,226 students in intensely segregated districts, and one for every 356 students in predominantly white districts. Similarly, there is an Advanced Placement course for every 179 high school students on average in the most segregated districts. That’s more than double the median ratio for all districts with at least one high school. The report also found that the number of intensely segregated districts has grown from five in the 200304 school year to 11 now. The percentage of Black and Hispanic students in those 11 districts has also grown in this period, from 28 to 37 percent for Black students and from 13 to 36 percent for Hispanic students. The geography of those 11 districts is also illuminating. Seven are in Nassau County, and six of those are in the Town of Hempstead. The seventh, Westbury UFSD, is in the Town of North Hempstead. The other four districts are in Suffolk County. The six districts in the Town of Hempstead represent a majority of the intensely segregated districts on Long Island. They
B
are Elmont, Freeport, Hempstead, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Valley Stream 30. Elected officials representing those school districts should be alarmed by the disparities in resources for their constituents and prioritize getting them addressed. They should be asked, why do those intensely segregated districts have, on average, so much less revenue per student? Why do they have far fewer guidance counselors and A.P. courses? And what will those officials do about it? A related question for all Long Islanders — elected officials, civic and business leaders and ordinary citizens alike — is, why does Long Island, with only two counties, have 125 school districts, and what can be done to change the racial segregation and resource disparities inherent in that fragmentation? Those conditions are grounded in the structural racism on Long Island, which is one of the 10 most racially segregated metropolitan regions in the U.S. School district boundaries, student assignment policies and district funding are all shaped by racially segregated residential patterns, reflecting historical and ongoing structural racism. Whether intentional or not, this racism excludes Black and His-
lacks and Hispanics are excluded from resourcerich school districts.
panic students from resource- rich school districts populated primarily by white students, and simultaneously ensures that districts populated primarily by Black and Hispanic students have resource deficits. What can be done about it? One way of addressing the resource deficits is to bring the resources of the intensely segregated districts up to the level of predominantly White districts. In fact, one can make a strong argument that districts filled with “high-need” students should have access to more resources than those with more privileged students. Another way to address the resource gap is to redesign the districts so that their schools and classrooms are more racially diverse. That can be done by changing the number and footprint of those districts. It can also be done by creating collaborations between districts to increase access to A.P. courses, for instance. With remote teaching more common due to the coronavirus pandemic, it should be easier to envision and implement such collaborations. All Long Islanders should consider the findings of this report. We should be asking ourselves, our elected officials, and candidates for office what we, and they, are going to do about them. Elaine Gross is president and chief executive officer of ERASE Racism, the Long Island-based civil rights organization.
Taking to the air is no flight of fancy
f you have fond memories of flying someplace for summer fun, well, you can just wipe that fantasy out of your head. My reverie of fun flying goes back decades. There I was, on July 4, 1968, in my dress-and-coat ensemble, white gloves and straw hat, boarding a plane with my brand new husband. Destination Bermuda! We flew coach and had a yummy meal delivered to our seat on a little tray with darling salt and pepper RAnDi shakers. Chicken KREiss or beef. As I recall, my husband of 20 hours didn’t take off his tie. We didn’t take off our shoes and socks like today’s travelers. Flying was a life event. One dressed. Get this: We talked to each other on the flight. With no devices or seat-back entertainment, we started a conversation that has lasted 54 years. To be clear, we haven’t spoken for all of those years, but we’ve done our best. The flight attendants, who were called
stewardesses and were all women, were unfailingly solicitous and professional. They were glamorous, and they wore perky little hats at a saucy tilt. Speaking of saucy, the person seated next to me on this flight (I’m writing at 34,000 feet) just spilled the barbecue sauce from her sandwich all over my shoe. She looks like a superhero in her bright red Wonder Woman ensemble, but actually she’s eating a superhero. Has to be three pounds of meat and sauce. My husband has a seat in a different row because we both wanted aisles. That’s what happens after 54 years. Whoopsie. We just dived. “Fasten your seat belts,” the captain announced, but our flight attendant, who looks like she just rolled off a long-haul flight, kept up her chitchat with a colleague, not particularly tuned in to the passengers. I know flight attendants have to meet certain physical standards to do the job, none of which has anything to do with gender or any subjective requirement for good looks, etc. As it should be. But I do think that since we’re all locked up in
F
this flying metal tube for a few hours, the attendants should maintain appropriate decorum, and avoid using the mic for their stand-up. We have lost so much general civility that it would be nice to be nice in these close quarters. Today our flight attendant is a bit of a bully. She has asked me three times if I have any trash to contribute to her huge plastic bag, and I keep saying no. Last time she started rummaging in my seat back. “What’s this?” She said. “It’s my cookies,” I said. She gave them back. The whole tenor this experience is upside down and backward. First, you feel immensely grateful if you can even find a seat on a plane in this somewhat but not really post-pandemic summer season. Then you have to raid your bank account to buy a ticket. On JetBlue you can buy a ticket, but if you want an actual seat, and you want bathroom privileges and would like to bring a bag, you have to pay more. I exaggerate, but you do pay more for getting on board early, for checking a suitcase, for snagging an upfront seat.
rom white gloves in 1968 to a seatmate’s sauce on my shoes in 2022.
Everything is easier … and harder. It took me a long time to figure out how to “pair” my phone with the JetBlue seatback screen. Going through security is fraught. This is true: My husband got pulled of the security line and had his bags searched because he was carrying an amount of Miralax that was deemed “suspicious.” In some ways, it is an explosive, I’ll grant them that. My fellow passengers are a wellbehaved group, although no one is wearing a mask anymore except me and my husband and a few other oldies. But how people trundle onto a plane in the getups I see is puzzling. If you’re going to sit three inches from a stranger for four hours, shouldn’t you tidy up a bit? Get the food out of your beard? This is our first flight together since last summer’s vacation, when we dropped into the raging wildfires in northern California, and basically turned around and came home. For us, staying grounded isn’t an option. I keep reminding myself that this isn’t, and will never be, a new “normal.” It’s a new world. We have to be patient and pack a sense of humor.

Suozzi is right choice for L.I. and New York
N
ext Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial primary pits three dedicated public servants against one another — Gov. Kathy Hochul, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi and New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams. We don’t typically endorse at the primary level — or at the gubernatorial level. But then again, Suozzi is not a typical candidate. Not only is he from Long Island; he’s also from Nassau County — an important distinction from Hochul and Williams. He understands the needs of Long Island communities and wants to make sure those needs are not overlooked. His past three terms in the U.S. House of Representatives have demonstrated that he is a moderate Democrat who is willing to work across the aisle. New York is a diverse state in myriad ways, including political ideologies, and Suozzi’s views and values serve a wide range of voters, ensuring that he would be a formidable candidate in the general election. With the state and country more divided than ever, we need a governor who does not play to the extremes of either party, which would only serve to alienate millions of New Yorkers. As a member of the powerful House Ways & Means Committee, Suozzi secured New York’s fair share of federal pandemic aid funds. His executive experience in Nassau County — one of the largest and

letters Biden’s federal gas tax suspension follies To the Editor: President Biden is contemplating a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax as a means of reducing the price, which is around $5 per gallon nationally and has been growing each week. This makes no sense in the long run. He reminds me of the emperor during the decline of ancient Rome, who offered the masses free bread and circuses as a means to placate them. Biden fails to explain how Washington would deal with less money going into the Highway Trust Fund as a result of a gas tax holiday. This is a critical source of funding for highway and transit projects. A gas tax holiday would result in Uncle Sam not collecting 18 cents for every gallon of gas. The Highway Trust Fund already faces financial difficulties. The lost dollars would have to be made up, and Con-
most complicated municipalities in the country — prepared him well for the governor’s mansion. Most important, during his time as county executive, Suozzi — who is both an attorney and a certified public accountant — reversed years of fiscal mismanagement. The current economic environment will require a deft manager of state finances, and we are confident that Suozzi would do this while balancing the need to make New York a more affordable place both to live and to conduct business. Hochul should be applauded for hitting the ground running last year, after Gov. Andrew Cuomo resigned in disgrace. However, we’re not sure that Hochul understands, or will prioritize, the needs of Long Islanders. The home region of a governor can certainly stand to benefit from having a native son or daughter in Albany. Case in point: the sweetheart deal Hochul brokered for a new stadium for the Buffalo Bills, in her home territory. The behind-closed-doors deal provides $1 billion in state funding for the stadium — the largest municipal aid package in the history of the National Football League — to support the upstate economy. Furthermore, before Hochul’s time in Albany, in her one term as a member of Congress, she received an “A” rating from the National Rifle Association, from which she also accepted campaign contri-
butions. She has since insisted that her views on guns have “evolved,” and that she now supports much-needed sensible gun regulation. Hochul says that her previous stance on guns was simply representing the views of the people in her rural district. But one can be pro-Second Amendment without aligning herself with an organization that opposes common-sense gun reform. That is Suozzi’s position, which, no surprise, earned him an “F” rating from the NRA. The jury is still out on Hochul’s ability to make the correct choice when it comes to big decisions. The coronavirus pandemic reminded all of us about the real-world — and sometimes life-or-death — consequences of a governor’s decisions. Yet, arguably Hochul’s biggest decision to date — her appointment of Brian Benjamin as her original lieutenant governor — was nothing short of disastrous, and could have been avoided with proper vetting. Just seven months into his job, Benjamin was indicted on wire fraud, among other charges, and was forced to resign. Williams, the third candidate in the Democratic race, has a bright future, but does not have the executive experience the state currently needs. The Herald endorses Tom Suozzi in the Democratic primary for governor.

alling all lawyers: we need you back in law school, now. We need you in classrooms and clinics, in person and on Zoom. Law schools regularly post openings for fulltime and adjunct positions. They also need volunteers to serve as role models and mentors, to help inspire students so they excel in doctrinal and experiential courses and pass the bar exam. On that last point, we all know the bar exam isn’t easy. But did you know that on the last one, more than a dozen jurisdictions’ pass rates SARA J. were under 50 percent? So if you’re BERMAN seeking meaningful opportunities to influence our world, nothing could be more important. Law schools help shape society’s future counselors, advocates and legislators — we are responsible for the professional formation of tomorrow’s leaders. What we do, and what our graduates do, matters. The rule of law matters. Work as a legal educator is particularly appealing (pun intended) because our stu-
dents take their skills and knowledge to do well and do good. Our graduates work in private, public interest and government, handling a wide range of civil and criminal matters. They work on bankruptcies and evictions, consumer protection and civil rights litigation. Their efforts may allow families to stay in their homes, or prevent children from losing visitation with parents or grandparents. They help entrepreneurs acquire patents for new inventions. They help businesses resolve disputes that prevent them from thriving. They represent clients ranging from the most sophisticated elite to ordinary people who simply don’t have the savvy necessary to navigate our increasingly complex world. Why teach now? Legal education, a world that hadn’t varied much for over a century, is undergoing radical change. Law schools today are bustling with new ideas, awareness, philosophies, and ways of teaching. Licensing and law practice are evolving, driving the academy to rethink what students need to become “practice ready.” The American Bar Association just instituted new requirements
L
aw schools today are bustling with new ideas, philosophies and ways of teaching.
LEttERS gress would have to decide how to do that. It will either raise other taxes, transfer revenue from another source, borrow more (increasing our growing $30.4 trillion national debt) or reduce the scope or number of funded transportation projects. In the end, both motorists and transit riders will be the losers if federal gasoline taxes are temporarily suspended. How did we go from an energy-independent nation to an energy-dependent nation under Biden? Why have gasoline prices increased from $3 to $5 or more under his watch? Why haven’t Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi convened a special commission to investigate this? LArrY PENNEr Great Neck Larry Penner is a transportation advocate, historian and writer who previously worked for the Federal Transit Administration Region 2 NY Office.
Biden’s court pick was ‘arrogant’ To the Editor: I do not take issue with John Turchiano’s criticism of politicization in the appointment process of Supreme Court
for law schools to include professional identity formation and cultural competency training. Creative law professors are developing new “ed tech” to assist in and out of the classroom. Most value inclusivity, collaborative skills and problem solving more than intimidation. (No more looking to terrorizing scenes from “Legally Blonde” or “The Paper Chase” as “inspiration.”) Things have also changed on the student side. More students — though still too few — from historically underrepresented populations are enrolling. And many law students are pursuing second and third careers, bringing wide and varied work and life experience to classroom discussion. So, readers who always dreamed of becoming lawyers, now is your time, too. Even the bar exam is changing. We expect to have a new “NextGen” exam in at least two-thirds of states that will have much more of a practice-oriented focus, with negotiating, interviewing, counseling and other practical skills along with torts, contracts, criminal law and other traditional subjects. Fewer subjects will
justices in his letter last week, “The Supreme Court was political long before the leak.” But the decisions of the court can be, and are, inevitably interpreted as consistent with one political viewpoint or another. Would Mr. Turchiano deny that a president is entitled to nominate those whose political philosophies are consistent with his own? To do otherwise would be illogical. I find it most curious, though, that he made no mention of President Biden’s recent appointment of soon-to-be Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Biden’s limiting his appointee to meeting only two criteria — race and gender — is, perhaps, the most flagrant example of politicization in memory, devoid of any consideration of competence, experience or even political philosophy. Even if he hadn’t made race and gender his only criteria, Jackson might still have been appointed to fill the vacancy on the basis of her abilities and legal background. Biden, in effect, did her a disservice by putting her up for consideration based on two criteria totally irrelevant to performance as a Supreme Court justice. He was motivated, I believe, by arrogance — namely, to be able to point out that he, if his nominee was approved, would be the first president to appoint a black woman to the court. This would have been obvious without Biden patting himself on the
be tested overall. And that rite of passage (or, as some might say, hazing ritual), the multistate bar exam, a six-hour, 200-question, multiple-choice marathon that allows test takers only 1.8 minutes to analyze each complex scenario, will finally be history. The pandemic taught us all a great deal. For many, seeking meaning in our day-to-day life has become paramount. In a recent conference panel entitled, “The New Pedagogy: What We Should Study About Legal Education Now,” at the Online & Hybrid Learning Conference, one scholar noted that a key difference among today’s law students from those in previous generations is that now they enter law school believing their professors care about them. It’s true. We really do. So, lawyers out there, if you love what you’re doing, keep at it, and thank you. Your work is critically important. And if you’re thinking about a new challenge, consider coming back to the future of law school. We need the best and brightest. And future law students, now is your time. Sara J.
