High court rules against state gun law By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

THE U.S. SUpREME Court overturned New York’s longstanding concealed weapons law last week.
State and local officials reacted swiftly, and angrily, to the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 23 decision that invalidated New York State’s 111-year-old concealed carry law. The plaintiffs in the case, Robert Nash and Brandon Koch, are members of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, the state chapter of the National Rifle Association. Both men have licenses to bring guns to target practice and to carry guns when hunting in low-population areas.
Koch is also licensed to carry a gun to and from work. They challenged the constitutionality of the Sullivan Act, which the State Legislature passed in 1911 in response to a rise in violent shootings. It authorized local law enforcement agencies to require anyone who wanted to carry a gun small enough to be concealed to show proper cause for doing so. The court’s decision last week in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen struck down the proper cause requirement, saying it violated the Second Amendment of the Continued on page 7
NCC teachers union questions the college’s spending plan By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
Rain canceled their rally on Monday, but for members of the Nassau Community College Federation of Teachers, their issues with the school’s new budget have not been washed away. The core question for the teachers federation, Nassau Community College’s union for full-time staff, is whether the $52 million budget approved Monday by the Nassau County Legislature can sustain the college and help it grow. “The budget is very unrealistic,” said teachers federation president Faren Siminoff. “We
haven’t gotten an increase in 15 years. That means the $52 million — I’m not saying it’s not generous — but that same $52 million from 15 years ago is now worth about $32 million.” Suffolk Community College received increases of 2 percent to 3 percent from Suffolk County annually, meeting normal cost of living rises, Siminoff said, so Nassau County’s share of NCC’s real expenses has effectively shrunk every year. In theory, said teacher federation secretary Susan Kaebnick, New York state and Nassau County are each responsible to supply about a third of NCC’s budget. The rest is meant to

come from tuition. In fact, said physical sciences professor Dave Stern, “The county provides about 23 percent to 25 percent of our budget.” Stern is the teacher federation’s vice president for classroom faculty. The frozen county funding caused missed opportunities for meeting student demand,
according to a news release sent out by the teachers federation prior to the legislature’s vote. The news release quoted Joan Buckley, chair of NCC’s nursing de par tment. “The nursing department has had to turn away applicants for lack of fulltime teachers,” Buckley said, noting also that currently the nation is experiencing a short-
age of nurses. “We know there is a great nursing program here at NCC, with a waiting list,” said Siminoff. “So, the administration ought to hire full-time faculty and expand the nursing program. Of course, nurses have to take required classes across the board at the college, so more Continued on page 9

FREEPORT HERALD — June 30, 2022 Courtesy Office of Senator John E. Brooks
EARlIER THIS JuNE, Senator John E. Brooks, Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone, Senator Anna Kaplan, Assemblymembers Fred Thiele and Steve Stern, and various state and local volunteer Firefighter organizations came together at the East Farmingdale Fired Department to announce the inclusion of the EMS Cost Recovery Act (Senate Bill S7186A) in the NY State Budget; and discuss its implications for volunteer emergency services across the state. Put simply, the EMS Cost Recovery Act allows allows volunteer fire departments to recover costs for emergency medical services (EMS) rendered.
What these 2 senators mean for Freeport Brooks will run for new District 5; Thomas will run for new District 6 By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
Every 10 years, following the federal census, the federal government requires that state election district lines be redrawn to reflect shifts in population size. Redistricting special master Jonathan Cervas was ordered by a federal judge to redraw the New York State Senate map. The new districts will take effect for the 2022 election year. Since 2012, Freeport has lain within Senate District 8, which has been led by John E. Brooks since his election in 2016. However, the newly drawn lines place Freeport into District 6. “The new district lines were a shock,” Brooks said in a published statement, “because they removed so many places I had worked so hard to represent. I took stock of what we had accomplished and felt it was the right time to retire rather than seek election in the new district.” But the tragic mass shooting of 19 children and two schoolteachers in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 changed his mind. “After Tuesday’s tragic shooting in Texas,” Brooks’ statement continued, “I heard from so many people encouraging me to stay in this fight.” He decided to run for the new S.D. 5. Meanwhile, Senator Kevin Thomas’s home in Levittown, which had been in S.D. 6, now falls into the newly redrawn District 5. He has made so many connections in S.D. 6, however, that he is willing to move his family into its new boundaries and run again to retain his state senatorial seat. To introduce himself to his new constituents, Thomas came down to Freeport for the 32nd Annual Nautical Mile Festival on June 4. “I am so happy to be here, to have a partner like Mayor Kennedy here,” he said. The two senators are both Democrats who are experienced in fostering bipartisanship in the state legislature. Both go to lengths to visit their communities and listen to local needs. Recently, Senator Brooks hosted a Youth Career Fair (May 7) at Roosevelt High School, gathering academic institutions, unions and other labor-affiliated organizations, and local businesses to speak to youth ages 14 and up about job and career possibilities. He has supported the Woodward Children’s Center at 201 Merrick Road in Freeport for many years, and regu-

Brooks’ own experience as a first responder — as a volunteer firefighter in Seaford, Medford and Lindenhurst, as Chairman of the Lont Island Hurricane Symposium Programs, and with eight years under his belt as a medic with the New York Army Reserve National Guard — positioned him to sponsor the EMS Recovery Act in the New York State budget for 2022-2023. This act permits volunteer emergency medical services that partner with volunteer fire departments to bill insurance companies, Medicare, and Medicaid for their emergency services, instead of recovering their costs directly from taxpayers, which imperils their ability to keep operating if taxes cannot cover their operations. Thomas, too, takes the trouble to visit important occa-
sions in his district, like the June 24 commencement ceremony for Hempstead High School, and hold town hall events like he did on June 22 at the Hempstead Public Library. An attorney who worked with the nonprofit New York Legal Assistance Group, Thomas, elected in 2018 and reelected in 2020, worked on a data bill entitled the “New York Privacy Act,” which would require companies to allow consumers to obtain the names of all entities with whom their information is shared and give those consumers the power to stop the company from sharing that data if they do not want it distributed. At the town hall in Hempstead, Thomas read out a long list of new benefits for Long Island that he has helped to sponsor, including $815 million for local school districts (17% more than last year), $16 million to establish childcare centers on each of the SUNY and CUNY campuses to help working students and staff, and $1.5 million for childcare facilitated enrollment for Nassau County. Thomas and Brooks both actively promote civic engagement, which Thomas defined at the town hall event as “when contributing members like all of you come together to try to make a difference in our communities.” Both senators fight fiercely for better gun safety laws. Brooks was a co-sponsor of S9458, which Thomas sponsored. The bill “requires a license to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle; establishes the crimes of criminal purchase of a semiautomatic rifle and criminal sale of a semiautomatic rifle; requires recertification of licenses to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle every five years.” Thomas also sponsored S8173, which makes it a felony to possess three or more illegal firearms, instead of 10 or more, and also makes the possession of three or more guns while traveling presumptive of intent to sell the guns in New York State. This law deals a major blow to the Iron Pipeline, a nickname for the I-95 corridor, along which illegal guns are ferried from Southern states with less restrictive gun possession laws. Both senators supported the gun safety package passed by New York State earlier in June. Contact information for both senators is easily found online. The local office for Brooks is in Massapequa, and the local office for Thoma is in Garden City.

A small school with big successes Woodward Children’s Center congratulates its graduates
STATE SENAToR JoHN Brooks, center, gave a donation of $10,000 to Woodward Children’s Center, which was received by Principal Danielle Colucci and Executive Director Greg Ingino.
By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com
If anyone ever wonders how Woodward Children’s Center achieves its successes, their questions will be answered by attending graduation day. On June 27, bright lights illuminated the school’s multipurpose room. Glittering gold and blue streamers, flags, balloons, and tassels fluttered everywhere. Decals of stars and graduation caps gleamed from the blue-and-gold walls. Dignitaries settled into chairs near the podium: State Senator John Brooks, Legislator Debra Mulé, Mayor Robert Kennedy, board of trustees president Marcia Caton, trustees Michael Reid and Ivan Sayles. Each of them has supported Woodward for many years. Executive director Greg Ingino and Principal Danielle Colucci, with other staff members, moved purposefully about with other staff members, helping family members find their chairs and guiding the seating arrangements for the star pupils of the day: nine students moving up from eighth grade to high school, and 11 graduating seniors. The ceremony began, and one by one, their names were joyfully announced from the podium by school music therapist Christina Cuevas. In shining blue, the eighth-grade graduates strode from the rear of the multipurpose room to their chairs at the front, followed by the seniors wearing radiant gold. “Pomp and Circumstance” played in the background. Their classmates sitting in the rear of the space participated in every triumphant moment. “Whoo-hoo! Yeah!” shouted dozens of voices, even drowning out the applause from the enthusiastic families in the middle seats. This atmosphere of encouragement, and praise for every small success, is what made graduation possible for these students, who have all overcome personal learning challenges — physical, emotional, or intellectual. Now it was their day, with the Color Guard of the Nassau County Police Explorers leading the pledge of allegiance, with their own Egypt Grant singing the national anthem, and with all the admonitions and com-

In school, you’re taught a lesson and given a test. In life, you are given a test, and it teaches you a lesson.” “You’ve done much more than complete requirements,” said Brooks. “You honor yourselves by the investment you made in your education, and we honor you here today.” “Always remember,” said Mulé, “you made it through an unprecedented time in history. You are Covid graduates. That you made it through this extraordinary time says something wonderful about each and every one of you.” Every word of uplift was reinforced by the student recognition ceremony.

Next, it was the graduates’ turn to clap, stomp their feet, and shout congratulations to the staff members who received service awards. Members of the theater group sang winsome songs, directed by Cuevas and teacher Matthew Heller. A beautiful time of reflection followed, in which a succession of staff members singled out students moving up or seniors graduating, telling them individually about the qualities that made each one unique. A slide show of the graduates, the conferring of diplomas by Ingino and Colucci, and a buoyant luncheon outside completed the triumphant day. “These kids have come far,” said Deona Tatum, a former Woodward teacher’s aide who attended the festivities. “From when they first came to now, it’s a total difference. Woodward was great for them.”

In 2017, hIgh school students from Brooklyn demanded that elected representatives protect students from gun violence and enact sane gun laws.
Local, state officials decry U.S. Supreme Court ruling ContInued from front page Constitution. The decision did not invalidate other restrictions to gun ownership in state law, such as background checks, fingerprinting, required firearms training, and the checking of mental health records. Nonetheless, New York legislators were not appeased. State Sen. Kevin Thomas attacked the Court’s reasoning. “In the first couple of pages of the 135-page decision,” Thomas told the Herald, “the Supreme Court justices say that New York has to meet the burden of identifying an American tradition for having that proper cause requirement. Well, the American tradition for New York is public safety.” In a later statement, Thomas added, “The Supreme Court’s ruling will not make us safer. Nor will this deter New York from moving forward, protecting our people and returning to Albany to immediately address this.” Assemblywoman Judy Griffin issued a statement that was no less emphatic. “Today’s U.S. Supreme Court decision is an affront to the Common Sense Gun Safety laws we have enacted in New York to protect our local communities across our state,” Griffin said. “As a nation, we need to be employing measures to curtail gun violence — not increase it. In June, we in the New York state Assembly majority did just that, working with the state senate majority and Gov. Hochul to pass an 11-bill package to reinforce and strengthen our existing gun safety laws. We will fight back!” In the Nassau County Legislature, Minority Leader Kevan Abrahams reacted by saying, “The Supreme Court’s ruling is a shocking blow to the century-old framework of our gun safety laws. It will undermine our ability to protect Nassau County residents and New Yorkers. We are especially concerned about how the increased number of concealed firearms will make it even more dangerous for law enforcement professionals to do their jobs and protect the public.” “Today’s Supreme Court ruling, which guts state concealed carry permitting laws, is not just irresponsible, it is downright dangerous,” said U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand. “Studies overwhelmingly show that looser restrictions on
who can carry a concealed firearm in public are associated with higher rates of violent crime and homicide. Congress must move swiftly to pass comprehensive gun safety legislation and ensure only those who are trained and trustworthy are allowed to carry loaded firearms.” Ironically, later on June 23, the Senate passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most comprehensive gun safety legislation since 1993, when President Bill Clinton signed the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act into law. The Brady Bill, as it was known, was named for former White House Press Secretary James Brady, who had been permanently disabled 12 years early when he was shot by John Hinckley Jr. as Hinckley attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan. The Brady Bill was sponsored by then U.S. Rep. Chuck Schumer of New York, who now serves in the Senate. It instituted stringent background checks on those buying firearms from federally licensed gun dealers, importers or manufacturers. The House of Representatives passed the Safer Communities Act on June 24, and President Biden signed it into law on June 25. “The gun safety bill we are passing tonight,” Schumer, now the Senate majority leader, stated on the Senate floor on June 23, “can be described with three adjectives: bipartisan, commonsense, lifesaving.” While acknowledging that the legislation did not include provisions Democrats fought for, Schumer described it as “a long-overdue step in the right direction. It was so, so significant that we let the process work instead of just having one vote, which would divide us and not accomplish anything. And I hope that portends doing it again, on guns and on other issues as well.” Back in New York, meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul called for a special legislative session starting Thursday. In a statement released over the weekend, Hochul said, “Since the (Supreme Court) decision was released, I have been working around the clock with our partners in the legislature to craft gun safety legislation in response to this ruling that will protect New Yorkers.”

Dodd Middle School seventh and eighth grade students celebrated International Day of Yoga with a morning of yoga exercises, learning about its benefits and mindfulness practices to better understand the balance practicing thoughtful yoga can bring to individuals. “Yoga is a Sanskrit word that translates to the word unity. Unity is defined as being one with ourselves and with others,” said Principal Johane Ligondé. “In a world that craves unity, yoga has the power to bring us all together not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and intellectually.” Led by Dodd health teachers Katie Horan and Gaetano Antonacci, Principal Ligondé and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham, along with the students were provided with yoga mats, towels and blocks as they participated in the yoga sessions.

vice, pursuit of higher education, overcoming adversity and financial need. Additionally, 26 scholarships were given by Northwell Health to students who will be attending Nassau Community College that will cover tuition, books and wrap around services. The scholarships were made possible thanks to the generosity of Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kishore Kuncham, the board of education, administrators, staff, parent support groups and community businesses and organizations.

There are more than 15,000 jobs — a record amount — posted on the state labor department’s seasonal job bank in a variety of industries from amusement parks to farms and restaurants and summer camps across every region. The free state resource allows businesses to list employment opportunities, and job seekers can look at part-time and seasonal jobs by location, company, job title and by searching through keywords. Guides for young people looking for work are available online to help them navigate what they need before filling out job applications. Divided by age groups — between 14 and 17, as well as 18 and 24 — the guides include information on obtaining working papers, the proper identification required, and even resume preparation. “With such an active job market, there is a wide variety of options to explore across the state,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said, in a release. “I encourage all job seekers to use the many resources the New York State Department of Labor offers to guide them to a job they love.” Part-time work is a vital component to help the state’s economy recover from the Covid pandemic, according to labor department commissioner Robert Reardon.

FirstNet donation gives Safety Town new life By STAFF REPORT FirstNet, Built with AT&T, has donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department Foundation so it can renovate and refurbish its Safety Town education facility in East Meadow. First opened in 1972 and operated by the police foundation, Safety Town is an educational center and miniature village that provides children with a variety of public safety learning experiences. Each year, more than 10,000 third-graders from across Nassau County visit Safety Town, and are taught traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety by police department crossing guards — first in a classroom, and then through a unique “hands-on” experience using bicycles and miniature electric vehicles. A 10-year analysis of bicycle accidents in Nassau found that children who attended Safety Town were 10 times less likely to be involved in an accident than a child who did not receive training, according to a release. FirstNet’s support allowed the police foundation to revitalize the aging center, to help it be ready in time for National Safety Month in June. This included removing and replacing more than 20 dilapidated buildings within Safety Town, adding professional landscaping throughout the campus, and repairing and beautifying other critical infrastructure elements.

FiRSTNET, BuilT By AT&T, donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department’s Safety Town, helping provide the 50-year-old East Meadow facility with a much-needed upgrade to help teach children traffic safety for years to come. The new and improved Safety Town was carefully planned to ensure children can learn traffic safety for another 50 years, officials said.
“Safety Town is a very important piece of community training for the NCPD,” police commissioner Patrick Ryder said, in a release. “At 50 years old, it was in a
desperate need for a renovation.” FirstNet is a dedicated, nationwide communications platform designed to upgrade public safety communications with new capabilities that support incident response from first responders. FirstNet is designed to allow these public safety professionals to connect to the critical information they need every day, and in an emergency, help keep them — and their communities — safe. Advancing public safety was the core mission of FirstNet when the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T joined forces. “Now five years since its launch, that mission continues to inspire us to support initiatives and programs like Safety Town who share a commitment to creating safer communities and keeping our kids safe,” said Judy Cavalieri, vice president and general manager of AT&T New York. “We are proud to support this program.” “Having gone to Safety Town as a child, I am especially happy that the foundation is continuing this tradition,” said Eric Blumencranz, chair of the Nassau County Police Department Foundation. “We are grateful for the generous support from FirstNet, Built with AT&T, that brought this important community training facility into the 21st century. Safety Town is vital to building relationships between law enforcement and youth, and we are proud to be involved in such an important endeavor.”

It started with a moment of silence. Then screams. And then it was a furious rage. That was the scene outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola on Friday in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that is widely seen as overturning the U.S. Constitutional protection given to abortion access in 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. The 6-3 ruling found in favor of a 2018 Mississippi state law that banned most abortion procedures after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. When it came to Roe v. Wade — and a 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that reinforced that original decision — the court was more divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal minority. But that wasn’t enough to maintain the constitutionality of abortion access, losing 5-4. Friday’s courthouse protest was organized by Long Island Rapid Response I Dissent Rally, which got a head start on the decision thanks to an unprecedented leak of the majority opinion last month. Rally organizers believe some 36 states will now make abortion illegal. New York will not be one of those states, however. The state legislature has already codified Roe v. Wade, keeping its abortion access intact. However, other states are expected to remove such access, including in pregnancies resulting from sexual assault and incest in states like Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. Many states pre-empted the decision with so-called “trigger bans,” making abortion illegal there the moment the court removed its Constitutional protection. “Oppressing access to reproductive health is a racial justice issue,” Nia Adams of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, told the courthouse crowd on Friday. “To add further insult to injury, the facts remain that Black maternity mortality rate in this country is four times higher for Black women than for our white counterparts.” Ellen Meister is no stranger to such protests. Hailing from Jericho, she attended her first march in 1982 in Washington. “It’s been a long time and I’m tired, but I’m here because it’s important,” Meister said. “I’m long past the age where it’s going to matter to me, but I care about women’s rights and bodily autonomy.” She held up a sign with a bloodied coat hanger, symbolizing how society can’t go back to barbaric and unsafe methods of abortions. “I wanted to make a really dramatic statement because this is reality,” Meister said. “People are going to die.” But not everyone was disappointed in the decision. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, called the court’s decision a “victory for life, for family, for the Constitution, and for federalism.” “Today is yet another reminder that New York clearly needs to do a much better job to promote, respect and defend

life,” the congressman added. Northwell Health released a statement soon after the decision, saying it was disappointed by the court’s ruling. “This decision is a setback for women’s reproductive health. Our concern as the region’s largest health care provider is that this ruling will succeed in ending access to safe abortions and disproportionately cause harm to those who already have limited access to health care.” Jay is worried about that as well. They held a sign at the rally declaring “abortion is trans health care,” telling a reporter how the transgender community continues to be excluded from the conversation. “We’re not only women, even though women are very important to the conversation, obviously,” Jay said, “but I think it’s important to remember our marginalized communities that’re disproportionally affected by this.”

NIA AdAms fROm Long Island Progressive Coalition, speaks to some 200 people who gathered outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on abortion access.
There were opinions from all sides following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on abortion rights, including fromn local lawmakers. “The public health ramifications of this ruling will be enormous, especially for economically disadvantaged women who already struggle with access to health care,” Nassau County legislator Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat, said in a statement. “If we are to stop the backward slide that we are now witnessing in our nation, we must organize, mobilize and vote, because our freedom and personal liberty are at the top of the ballot.” Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican on the Hempstead town council, told his Twitter followers that he was “strongly opposed” by the decision of state Democrats to “enact the nation’s most extreme abortion law, legalizing late-term and partial-birth abortion, allowing abortions to be provided by non-doctors,” and removing criminal penalties for what he described as “assaults on pregnant women,” causing “unborn child death.” “Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court neither upends that unpopular law, nor affects the ability of any woman in New York to have an abortion,” D’Esposito added. “Here’s the truth,” said Josh Lafazan, a Democrat on the Nassau County Legislature, who is running for Congress. “Anti-choice extremists have demonstrated for years that they are willing to stop at nothing to get what they want.” –Karina Kovac

Q. We’re retired, and live part of the year in Florida and part in New York. Eventually we plan to sell. Recently we had our kitchen redone, and had to make changes to a closet to make more room. Twenty-plus years ago we took down a wall and enlarged the kitchen, and I’m hearing that it was supposed to have a permit. The contractor was a big outfit that has commercials on TV, and I’m sure they got us a permit for the work. I understand that it may come up when we sell. Is this true and how do we know if there was a permit? We looked everywhere, but can’t find one? What should we do?

A. There is always the chance, especially in tighter economic times, that a lending bank inspector will be looking more carefully at what was done, in comparison with the original plans for the house. I often get desperate calls from people who’ve just been given two weeks to get a permit for something done many years ago. People generalonte eeper ly don’t understand how long each step in a legalization process takes. There is even the tease of an express permit by some building departments. I use the word tease because you and the architect are being set up for disappointment if the person reviewing the plans Tom Tripodi Tripodi | Shemtov Team finds one note they want added or a dimension, etc. Douglas Elliman Real I have been informed that when that happens, your Estate plans go into the pile with the rest of regular fil516-902-3497 ings and your express fee is history.

opinions
s a former elected official, I am frequently asked who has the toughest job in America. Most often, I answer either President Biden or New York City Mayor Eric Adams. But after watching three of the hearings of the Jan. 6 committee, I’ve decided that Attorney General Merrick Garland has the most difficult job in America. Over the next six to nine months, Garland must decide whether he will charge former President Donald Trump with a variety of election JERRY law criminal violations. No former KREMER president has ever faced criminal charges related to their actions while in office. President Nixon was close to being indicted for a variety of federal crimes in 1974, but that August he announced his resignation. There is no doubt that by the time the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol finishes its witness presentations, it may have enough criminal evidence to turn over to the attorney general, with a recommendation that he take formal action against
L
Trump. But charging a former president with a crime could further divide an already bitterly divided country, and might inflame the relative handful of crazies who are ardent Trump supporters. As the hearings come to a close, the media will focus on the fate of the former president, but there are many other people who may wind up in handcuffs in a federal courtroom. The logical targets could be the large group of people who claimed to be presidential electors for Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, states that Biden won in the 2020 election. Their fake certificates were even sent to the National Archives. The next potential defendants could be former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney John Eastman. Guliani and his team appeared in multiple courtrooms throughout the country, falsely arguing that the election had been stolen, but those arguments were hollow and failed in more than 60 cases. Eastman is alleged to have created the plot to overturn the counting of the ballots on Jan. 6, which he peddled to Trump on many occasions after the election. Eastman has since invoked the Fifth Amend-
W
ment more than 100 times. Are there others who could wind up wearing prison jumpsuits? During questioning at the fourth Jan. 6 committee hearing, the names of two Republican members of Congress surfaced. A staff member of Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, and Rep. Andy Biggs, of Arizona, were alleged to have asked Vice President Mike Pence to accept a list of fake electors and reject legitimate electors. Both Johnson and Biggs could be charged with fraudulent efforts to overturn a legitimate election. They may be joined by at least six other House members, whose names will be made public in the coming weeks. Garland is wrestling with the right and wrong of charging a former president with federal crimes, along with the national implications of such a decision. But I would guess that if the tables were turned, and the election manipulation had been done by a former Democratic president, a Republican attorney general, such as William Barr, would please his client, the Republican president, by moving ahead with a criminal case. Is there another scenario that all of us may have overlooked?
ill Attorney General Garland charge a former president with federal crimes?
A federal grand jury has been impaneled in Fulton County, Georgia, and has heard testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom Trump asked to “find 11,780 votes,” which would make Trump the winner in Georgia. The request by Trump could be found to be a criminal attempt to change the results of the election, and subject him to criminal charges. No matter what your political leanings are, the Jan. 6 investigation has unveiled cold, hard facts about how Trump conducted himself in the days and weeks after his loss in November 2020. While the vast majority of Americans were going about their business, a small group of attorneys and elected officials were working around the clock to burn the Constitution and turn this country over to a president who refused to accept his defeat. In the end, there may not be jail terms for anyone but the rioters at the Capitol, but it is impossible to whitewash history, no matter how hard the Republicans try. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.
Engaged! Finding love in the pandemic.
illybee and Don are tying the knot. In an unintended romantic consequence of the pandemic, my husband and Lillybee, daughter of Sinbad el Amante Suave and Ivy of Chickadee Cotons, are making it official. After nearly three years of relative isolation, with no doggie play dates and no dog park, they are inseparable. Their path forward: together. As the third leg of this domestic canine cluster, I will speak now in protest or be comRAnDi pelled to forever KREiss hold my peace (an unlikely scenario). For starters, Lillybee’s pedigree is much finer than my husband’s. She came from a dam and sire raised by boutique breeders in Oregon and Arizona. Don is from Brooklyn. His parentage goes back to various anonymous Hungarian horse traders who sailed to America in steerage. Lillybee flew first class from Arizona. And she can trace her heritage back to great-grandparents Fozzie T. Bear of Amanda Sue
Cotons and Yankee Doodle Dandelion of Windy Hills Cotons. Then there is the age disparity. Don is 76, and Lillybee is 35 in dog years. She weighs 13 pounds. He weighed that at birth. In the beginning we were the classic trio, older couple and new pup. Truthfully, we figured she would be our last pup, given the average human life span and the projected life span of a small dog. We hoped to pretty much finish up at the same time. Lillybee, like her cohorts, is a personality. She raises her nose in the air and tests the wind. She assesses which advantages she can push. She’s clever, that girl, and without ethics of any kind. I guess you could say she is purely transactional. Give her something and you get something. When my husband was working and I was at home doing the dog training, Lillybee learned to sit for a treat, lie down, come when called and go to her place on a mat in the corner of the kitchen while we ate our meals. She never “demand” barked, which is an obnoxious trait wherein a dog barks loudly and inces-
A
santly in your face for something — food or attention or a walk. Not acceptable! The idea is that after training for good behavior with tons of treats to sweeten the pot, the dog will adopt the good behavior even without a treat. It did not take long for us to realize that Lillybee does nothing for nothing. If you want her to sit and you aren’t prepared to offer her a sizable piece of dried sweet potato, you are barking up the wrong tree. Training her was exhausting. You could almost hear her thinking, “I don’t have to sit. But I’ll do it if you give me one of those compressed chicken weenies.” She was always an alpha dog, and she landed with us, a Triple A alpha couple. Still, her life in our home was rewarding and fun and fully inclusive of us as a trio. Then the pandemic hit, and we and she were completely isolated. Don and I spent many more hours at home. He retired. We didn’t travel much, and she had been accustomed to riding in airplanes zipped into a canvas bag under the seat. She was a get-up-and-go dog. At the beginning of the pandemic,
s the isolation deepened, the husband and the dog became inseparable.
there were rumors that dogs could carry the virus and advice not to let them into a sick room. We didn’t know how strict to be, so we just kept her inside with us, except for walks. There was a lot of togetherness; since we couldn’t see our grandkids, Lillybee was the main event. She began to “demand” bark. Don began to give her extra treats. Not just chicken weenies and dried sweet potato, but shreds of salmon at $18 a pound and the occasional peanut. I’m not saying he’s not a naturally lovable guy, but soon Lillybee would not leave his side. No going to her “place” during meals. He pulled out a chair for her at the table and she would gaze longingly into his eyes, clearly praying for him to drop a crumb. He started to think it was personal, not realizing that he’s only as good as his supply of dried liver. He decided to increase her stash of toys, even buying two stuffed duckies in case one of them got dirty. Then, I heard him call her “darling,” as in “Darling, want a belly rub?” That was when I realized this wasn’t just a fling. I heard they’re registered at Bloomingdales. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

The Declaration of Independence was first published on July 6, 1776, in a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Evening Post. We are proud to commemorate that high point in American journalism by reprinting that historic document.
W
hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. e has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at
H
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Government: For suspending our own legislature, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People. Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. e, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.

The Declaration was signed first by John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, and then by 55 others representing the 13 original states.

oter fraud has been around since the creation of democracy, but that doesn’t make it right or mean we should allow it to continue or expand. Free and fair elections are the foundation of any free, self-governing country. Without them, you have nothing except the tyranny imposed by those who successfully manipulate the electoral process. The latest assault on our voting mechanisms has a long history. You could buy a vote with a round of drinks as practiced by the New York City DemoRONALD J. crats of Tammany of the 1880s. ROSENBERG Hall And voting from the grave? Louisiana’s governor of the 1930s, Huey Long, reportedly said, “When I die, I want to be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.” Others have used a variety of frauds, including bribes, intimidation and poll taxes to redirect election outcomes. But in the 21st century, we are facing a far more insidious and systemic corruption of our balloting. Today, would-be electoral fraudsters want to entirely abolish the requirement of voting in person with identification, in favor of allowing voting
by mail or an absentee ballot merely for the asking. Requiring ID and other laws designed to ensure the integrity of elections do not suppress the vote, as President Biden and others have falsely asserted. Last month’s Georgia primary saw record turnout for early voting — nearly triple the level in 2018 level and 212 percent more than in 2020, a presidential election year. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill earlier this year that, dangerously, allows New Yorkers who are concerned about getting Covid to vote this year by absentee ballot. Some political pundits believe that, much like their clumsy and illegal gerrymander of election districts, this is one more instance of those on the left seeking to undermine the integrity of our elections so they can gain a political advantage at the expense of democracy. It’s not as if New York voters aren’t wise. They sent a loud and unequivocal message last November when they voted down a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed no-excuse absentee voting. As the political cycle heats up with a double-barreled primary calendar, it is important to understand that voting by mail and unlimited absentee voting is a

serious threat that undermines confidence in the integrity of the outcome. “Ballot harvesting” has become a thing: Paid operatives are sent door to door, offering to transport individuals’ mail-in ballots to the Board of Elections. One suspects that these concerned defenders of democracy may well check your party affiliation before deciding whether the next stop is the ballot box or the dumpster. In California, no less, the practice was recognized as being so egregious to democracy that after it was made legal in 2016, it was subject to serious restrictions. California “has since made it illegal to get paid per ballot collected,” The Washington Post reported, “and for employers to ask employees to bring their ballots into their workplace.” Another dimension to ballot harvesting that harms the integrity of absentee voting is the ability of the paid operative to make a last-minute argument about why you should vote one way or another. This kind of pressure is why our polling places have restrictions on how close candidates can campaign. If our democracy is to stand the test of time, the Covid-imposed ability to vote remotely needs to be curtailed and

restricted to those who legitimately cannot make it to the polling place on Election Day. It isn’t too much of an ask for a concerned and engaged citizenry to find the will and the means to physically make it to the ballot box one day a year. Those who argue that these options increase participation in our election process will have to make a far more cogent case, because the jury is still out on that claim. An analysis by the Connecticut Mirror suggested that absentee voting has not brought a significant spike in participation. The Public Policy Institute of California reported a similar finding. So one can legitimately ask, what is the real reason to expand absentee and remote voting, who is pushing that agenda, and why? As we reflect on the priceless gift of democracy, we should consider who should be given the unchallenged right to offer absentee ballots. The immediate and obvious answer would be our fellow Americans in uniform, who are defending the nation. Those patriots earn the right to an absentee ballot with their blood and valor. What’s the left’s excuse? 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.

Sexualization masquerading as diversity training
Allowing others to dictate what our children learn about gender and sexual confusion would be a gross neglect of our parental obligations.
To the Editor: Ray H. Gavin’s letter in the June 16-22 issue, “Students will learn about sexual diversity,” claimed that “efforts to restrict discussions about sexual diversity are shortsighted, and would only delay, not prevent, students from acquiring knowledge that their parents may consider offensive or objectionable.” But there is nothing shortsighted about it. We parents who care about our children’s proper education and development, which includes their moral stability and their ability to execute rational thinking, understand very well the dangers of allowing people who seek to impose their objectionable ideas on our children against our wishes. Yes, they will be “exposed to” objectionable sexualization efforts. That is because there are elements in our government, school system, media, entertainment and the medical industry who have no respect for parental rights, and who seek to dictate to parents what their children must be taught about gender and socalled “sexual diversity.” We do not have to tolerate that kind of indoctrination in our schools. This is still a free country, and they are our children, not yours.

A queen? No, but more British TV! To the Editor: My wife and I enjoyed Randi Kreiss’s column “Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?” (June 16-22). I don’t think we Americans necessarily need a king or queen, but everyone would benefit from more British television! We began subscribing to streaming Acorn and BritBox several months ago, and we watch the same mysteries Randi mentioned, plus some others. We currently alter nate between
“Vera,” “A Touch of Frost,” “Midsomer Murders,” “Inspector Morse” and “Foyle’s War.” “Foyle’s War” is particularly interesting, as it introduces the viewer to many aspects of wartime, home front Britain. We also devoured the whole “Shetland” series quickly — we traveled to Shetland and Fair Isle a few years ago, so the series was a must-watch for us. Again, thanks, Randi, for the thoughtful and humorous column. P.S.: I agree with you on Boris Johnson, but British food is really pretty good! JIM BROWN Island park
