Cleveland Ave. battle isn’t over

Field important to Freeport’s northeastern sector By ReINe BethaNY rbethany@liherald.com

Opposition to replacing the athletic field on Cleveland Avenue with an Amazon distribution warehouse was loudly expressed during a rally at the field on July 1. The concerns raised by the speakers at the rally centered on the lessened accessibility to a large green space for residents of northern Freeport, the 24-hour truck traffic that will occupy the eastern end of the village and the high turnover rate of Amazon warehouse workers. Additionally, there are concerns that the village government has repeatedly acted without transparency to the community. On top of it all, there is unsettled litigation between the Freeport Public Schools system and the village about who has the rights to the field. The legal proceedings by the Village of Freeport government to remove the field’s

parkland status are almost complete. The bill needed to make it happen passed in the state legislature, and is now on the desk of Gov. Kathy Hochul — which the protestors are urging her not to sign. On the village’s side, Mayor Robert Kennedy, the trustees, and village counsel Howard Colton have assured the protesters that their access to the Cleveland field will not change until the village’s renovations of Cow Meadow Park are complete. But the promises of better facilities at Cow Meadow Park are not reassuring to the residents living above Merrick Road. “The major problem about losing Cleveland Field is the Cow Meadow location,” said Lavette Hooks, whose three children graduated from Freeport High School. “In the summer there are no school buses to get kids to athletic practices. Some parents can bring their kids, but some kids walk to practice.” Football season starts around the middle or Continued on page 16

A proud Freeport Village Fútbol Club

FREEPORT HERALD — July 7, 2022

By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

On the green grass of a field in Freeport’s northeastern sector, neighborhood children shout, run, kick soccer balls into goals, and win championships. They are the children of the Freeport Village Fútbol Club, which started in 2015 with nine traveling teams for children ages 9-19. In that first year, both of their girls’ teams won the 2015 Long Island Cup Championship for each of their age divisions at Stony Brook field. The Freeport Lady Lightning, ages 12-13, and the Freeport Lady Stingrays, ages 14-15, were both coached by Alex and Sonia Dixon. “The Freeport Village Fútbol Club is a non-profit soccer organization whose mission is to foster the physical, mental, THE HoT and emotional growth and development of its youth through the sport of soccer at all levels,” said Sonia Dixon, who is also a board member of the club. “We have dedicated and passionate volunteer coaches who provide a professional, safe, and positive soccer environment while developing talented youth players.” Their talent pool is very local. Most of the children are from Freeport’s northeast sector. Some of them walk along Merrick Road from the new Moxey Rigby apartment complex. Others walk from farther away, or ride bikes, or are ferried in cars by family members. Their teams practice at the Cleveland Avenue athletic field, also known as the Buffalo Avenue field because its nine acres are situated between those two streets. The field has served the Freeport Public Schools since 1949, but is also for public use outside of school practices. Players drill with coaches twice a week, Dixon said. Once a team is established, it is registered into a travel league, which competes at fields throughout Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Unlike most area soccer clubs, FVFC coaches and staff volunteer their time in order to keep costs for the families low. Dixon describes their area as a “lowwealth, high-need community,” many of whom are working-class, some of whom are immigrants. “We only charge for registration, because we have to pay the league,” Dixon said, referring to the Long Island Junior Soccer League, “and we pay the referee so we can play. We don’t ask for anything else.” The FVFC handles costs for uniforms and other maintenance matters. Tournament fees are split up among the families. And they keep getting results. The Freeport Hotspur (boys U13 team, ages 12 and 13), coached by the Dixons, won their division championship for the Long Island Junior Soccer League Spring 2022 season as well as the LIJSL Sportsmanship Award during the fall 2021 season for their division.

Members of FVFC have become varsity players at Freeport High School — like the Dixons’ own daughter Ancksu, who graduated from Freeport High this year after winning high honors on the school’s varsity soccer and basketball teams. She is headed for Mercy College on an athletic scholarship. Setting up opportunities like Ancksu’s is what the FVFC is really about. “This is what we do,” Dixon said. “We are doing our very best to keep our youth afloat so they can have a chance. You have a healthy community, you educate the parents, you help the children, and that’s the future. That’s our fight.”

Yet another rain date for the fireworks continued from front page pleasure when spears of platinum pierced the cloudy darkness and chrysanthemums of brilliant colors illuminated the watchers on the pleasure boats. “We had a nice crowd here for the fireworks,” Ilona Jagnow, owner and manager of Otto’s Sea Grill, said after last year’s fireworks — and that was saying a lot. At that time, Freeport’s businesses were struggling mightily to recover from the Covid19 shutdowns.

Academy graduates officers ready to serve, protect kkovac@liherald.com

Schools aren’t the only places holding graduations. Nearly 60 police academy recruits walked across their own stage last week after completing an intensive seven-month training to join the Nassau County Police Department. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and police commissioner Patrick Ryder congratulated the new officers, handing each of them certificates last week at the new Center for Training and Intelligence in Garden City. Most of the graduates are now members of the Nassau County Police Department. The rest are headed to Hempstead, Freeport, SUNY Farmingdale, SUNY Stony Brook, Long Beach and the sheriff ’s departments. Joining the police recruits were two police medics finishing up training. Shelby Saroka is headed for the Long Beach Police Department — serving and protecting a community she grew up in. “I’m excited to get out there and make a difference,” she said. “And as far as (being) worried, I don’t want to see terrible things that’s happening in my community, so I suppose that my fear (is) to see something bad happen.” Compassion and integrity are the rules Saroka will operate under with her police badge pinned to her chest. “I’m happy to be getting out of here,”

But it wasn’t until later in life Watters began his journey following in his grandfather’s footsteps to become a police officer. “It’s been my dream since I was young,” he said. Detouring from that path briefly, Watters spent six years serving the country, including a tour in Afghanistan, giving him a little bit of a leg-up on training

since it was “similar” by comparison to his military days. Now Watters will join the Hempstead Police Department. Unlike his specialized days in a different uniform, Watters expects to wear many hats as a police officer. “You kind of got a job to do and get it done,” Watters said of the military. “Here, you have multiple jobs to do.” And you have to do it while keeping any situation from getting heated. Part of the training focused on how to talk slowly

and calmly to the everyday people officers encounter. “We ask you as a police officer to be a lawyer,” Ryder told the graduates. They also have to understand Miranda rights, so-called “Terry stopping” — briefly detaining someone they have suspicion committed a crime — and also a number of the legal protections afforded to everyone in the Bill of Rights. “You’re asked to be a doctor. You use CPR, first-aid, a defibrillator, to administer Narcan — and yes, you deliver babies,” Ryder said. “We ask you to be a firefighter — you rescue people from burning buildings and cars because you truly are a first responder on the scene. We asked you to be a crime scene expert, you preserve the scene so our victims can get closure.” Ryder meant closures like the one that has led to an indictment of convicted serial killer Richard Cottingham — the socalled “Torso Killer” — that had been announced that same morning in connection with a 1968 killing in Valley Stream. “You’re actually a family counselor, responding to domestics,” Ryder said. “You act as a social worker. You’re a mediator. You’re a pharmacist, (and) it isn’t all about opiates, heroin pills, cocaine, meth and the deadly fentanyl. You’re asked to be a school safety expert. You know how to be a protector. “You have been trained for events like Columbine (and) Parkland, but we pray to God we never see those things here.”

rides. It’s among a number of outreach programs including multiple charity events each year, to tackle a variety of social and economic issues affecting the county. “We consider it foundational to our mission,” said Khouz, stressing that while there is a high demand for transportation assistance from those living in Nassau, the company’s overarching mission is to serve all of the county’s communities. “How we engage with our communities, understand the needs of the communities, is how we provide service,” he added. Everyone Rides NICE program is even more important now during the current fuel crises that has spiked gasoline prices amidst growing inflation.

“With the additional pressures that households have with these rising prices, we find that families and individuals who may not have needed this assistance in the past find themselves in a situation transportation costs become too much to bear in their overall budget,” Khzouz said. Now they will have a little more help managing myriad day-to-day affairs, such as working multiple jobs and getting their kids to schools. The program seeks to help Nassau’s most vulnerable, who may need transportation assistance for physical and mental health care, or to food pantries and substance abuse clinics. “Anything that affects our communities can be accessed using this tool,” Khzouz said.

FREEPORT HERALD — July 7, 2022

JAck khZOuZ, RighT — chief executive of NICE Bus, unveiled this year’s plan for his Everyone Rides NICE program, which provides free rides for families struggling economically.

By ROBERT TRAVERSO An annual program run by the NICE Bus will provide low- and moderate-income riders a free trip. Inside Nassau County, of course. “Everyone Rides NICE” works by the Nassau InterCounty Express purchasing MetroCards and distributing them to more than 20 social service agencies in Nassau County through the United Way of Long Island. “Every day, riders are depending on a NICE bus to get to and from work, keep an important medical appointment, attend school or vocational training, or shop for their family’s necessities,” said Theresa Regnante, president and chief executive of United Way of Long Island, at a June 29 press conference. The program’s goal is to provide economically disadvantaged families the help they need to get around, taking at least one major cost off their plate — transportation. Transdev, the transit company’s parent, created Everyone Rides NICE in 2015. Since its inception, the program has provided more than $850,000 worth of free MetroCards to participating agencies across the county, according to officials, serving some 2,500 people each year. MetroCards distributed this year provides two free trips anywhere within Nassau. More than 35,000 cards will be delivered through two-dozen social service agencies partnered with United Way. “It is critically important to provide these bus passes for essential transportation to least advantaged individuals and families to ensure that everyone has equal access to our vital public transportation during these challenging times,” Regnante said. Jack Khzouz, NICE’s chief executive, said the program’s goal is to enrich people’s lives by providing the free

Herald sports A salute to champions from 2021-22 By TONY BELLISSIMO

tbellissimo@liherald.com

t was a banner season for many high school athletic programs in the Herald’s coverage area. Listed are the top team and individual accomplishments, in chronological order. For the full list, visit LIHerald.com/sports.

1. South Side girls cross-country

The South Side girls repeated as Nassau Class II crosscountry champs. In muddy and slippery conditions at Bethpage State Park Oct. 30, South Side had three of the top five finishers and out-legged Calhoun and Manhasset by a considerable margin. Junior Cameron Coletti finished one second under 20 minutes to pace the Cyclones. She was second overall. Freshman Lara Jewett was fourth, and sophomore Claire Bohan finished fifth. Sophomores Kelsie Reinholdt and Morgan McKenna completed its top five.

2. Calhoun boys cross-country

Before the season, Calhoun coach David Hendler and the boys’ cross-country team set their goals for the fall as winning the division, the conference, the county championship and the state qualifier. They put boxes next to each one and would draw a check mark when it was accomplished. After Nov. 6, there were four check marks. Sophomore Logan Schaeffler, senior John Schwab, juniors William Hughes and Gavin Giordano, senior Alexander Rosario and junior Matthew Belmonte helped the Colts capture the Nassau Class A title Oct. 30 at Bethpage State Park.

3. South Side girls soccer

Two dramatic goals in the final 15 minutes Nov. 6 gave South Side a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory over East Islip and its first Long Island girls’ soccer championship since 2014. Senior Anna Pennecke provided the difference by converting her own rebound from close range with 3:58 remaining in the L.I. Class A title game. Junior Maggie Colvin orchestrated the crossing pass that led to

The tying goal came from sophomore defender Charley Doreste. The Cyclones were four days removed from capturing their second straight county title and the 28th in program history, beating Manhasset 2-0.

4. Wantagh girls volleyball

Wantagh girls’ volleyball has created a new dynasty. The Warriors captured their third Nassau Class A title in

four years with a four-set triumph over Calhoun Nov. 10, 25-29, 25-15, 25-18, 25-18. Three days later, Wantagh captured the program’s second Long Island title in four years with a 3-1 win over Kings Park to reach the state tournament. Freshman Sadie Reich propelled Wantagh to a repeat county title with 19 kills and 10 digs. Senior Olivia Pugliese registered 18 digs, 12 kills and four blocks. Junior Angelina Bendetti also played a key role.

5. Seaford girls volleyball

After dropping the first two sets of the Nassau Class B finals and nearing the wrong end of a sweep, Seaford won the remaining four points of the third set to seize control of the match against West Hempstead. The Vikings dominated the rest of the way en route to a 22-25, 23-25, 25-21, 25-13, 25-7 victory Nov. 10 to bring home the county title. The comeback was made possible by a team effort led by young hitters Sarah Lochner (sophomore) and Carey-Jean Federico (freshman.) The defense also stepped up big, with junior setter Kailly Nocera registering 21 digs, along with 12 from senior libero Brooke Surace and nine by Nicole Karaman. Senior Alyssa Luisi and freshman Carey-Jean Block chipped in with eight digs apiece.

6. Clarke wrestling (Jordan Soriano)

Karen Millindorf/Herald

WANTAgh PrOvEd BEST Nov. 10 when it defeated Calhoun in four sets to capture the Nassau County Class A girls’ volleyball championship at LIU.

Clarke’s Jordan Soriano culminated his high school wrestling career as a champion and made history in the process. Sorinao delivered Clarke its first state wrestling title in program history with a dominating 10-1 win in the 138-pound finals in the New York state championships against Caleb Sweet of South Seneca on Feb 26. The triumph on the mats at the MVP Arena in Albany capped an emotional five-year career filled where he battled through injuries and a pandemic. “I feel like this has been a long time coming,” Soriano said. “I have been waiting for this moment for a long time and it was finally my time to shine.” Reaching the top of the podium as a senior was achieved in Soriano’s third appearance at the state championships.

Bringing local sports home every week

There was no shortage of title celebrations 7. Long Beach wrestling (Dunia Sibomana)

Only 14 years old, Dunia Sibomana has already experienced a life’s worth of tragedy and triumph. On Feb. 26 at Albany’s MVP Arena, the eighth-grader from Long Beach who in 2014 was clinging to life in his homeland of the Congo, in Central Africa, after a group of wild chimpanzees attacked him and two family members, added his name to the New York state wrestling history book when he capped a dominant weekend with a pin of No. 1-seed Ryan Ferrara, of Chenango Forks, in 1 minute, 32 seconds to capture the 102-pound Division I state championship. Sibomana, who was seeded third, won his first three matches in the tournament by a combined score of 35-7. He became the 17th state champ in Long Beach program history. “I really can’t believe it,” said Sibomana, who finished the season with 35 wins in 37 matches. “There was definitely so much competition, and I’m so excited to win.”

8. Baldwin girls basketball

A week after Baldwin squeezed past Syosset for its eighth consecutive county title despite being held to a season-low 31 points, the Lady Bruins didn’t take long to make an offensive statement March 5 as their signature defense gave Longwood fits throughout the Long Island Class AA girls’ basketball championship game. All five Baldwin starters scored in the opening quarter as it exploded for 21 points and led all the way in a convincing 53-32 victory. Sophomore Renelle Grannum scored a gamehigh 16 points, freshman Payton Dulin added 15, and junior Dallysshya Moreno had 13 points and 15 rebounds as the Lady Bruins captured their fifth L.I. crown in 13thyear head coach Tom Catapano’s tenure.

9. Baldwin boys basketball

The March 5 Long Island Class AA boys’ basketball championship against Half Hollow Hills East was extra special for Baldwin senior Jamir Stewart. The third-year varsity player was a sophomore in 2020 when the onset of Covid-19 suddenly canceled the Bruins’ season just days after they captured a county title. Stewart took full advantage of his long-awaited opportunity with 22 points to propel Baldwin to a 79-68 win. Cadeem Ramsay and Joshua Petion both registered 13 points for Baldwin, which trailed 34-33 at halftime. Gerrad Beaubrun added 10 and Jacob Oka had eight as part of its balanced scoring effort.

10. Clarke boys track

In edging North Shore by the miniscule margin to finish second in the four-by-100-meter relay at the Nassau County track and field championships May 23, Clarke’s boys’ had pulled within striking distance of the meet’s leader West Hempstead heading into the day’s last event. Eight points off the lead in team scoring at the sound of the final starter’s gun, Clarke would set a season-best time winning the 4x800 relay in 8:44.72 to move into a tie atop the leader board at 84-all and sidle up to West Hempstead - which finished fifth in the race - as county Class A co-champion, bringing Clarke its first county outdoor title since 1987.

11. West Hempstead boys track

In a season of notable firsts, the West Hempstead boys’ track and field team used season-best performances and a staggering win rate to surmount the odds – and then the winners’ podium – at the Nassau Class A Championships May 23, becoming county co-champion alongside Clarke as West Hempstead won its first-ever outdoor boys’ title. Competing in only 11 of the day’s 18 events, West Hempstead got three first-place finishes from junior newcomer Jurrel Hall, a pair of wins apiece from seniors Jordan DeJesus and Damilola Babalola, and a title-saving fifthplace finish by its 4x800 relay.

IN tHE 102-pouND Nassau County final, Long Beach’s Dunia Sibomana, right, defeated Massapequa’s Carlos Arango by major decision, winning 14-2. 12. V.S. North boys/girls track

The Valley Stream North track and field team proved the regular season was no fluke. After a 13-0 spring, the boys’ and girls’ teams went on to win the Nassau Class AA titles May 25. Senior Ryan John won the long and triple jumps while placing second in the high jump. Senior Ariana Paul won the 100-meter final and the long jump. The other boy county champ was sophomore Sedgeley Duperval, who won the 200 in 22.65 seconds.

17th come-from-behind win of the season. In Game 2, the Rocks took a different approach and busted out to a rare early lead, scoring 3 runs in the top of the first inning on the way to completing a series sweep with a 9-5 victory at Mitchel Field. Seniors Mimi Bilardello and Adriana Ramirez, the table-setters at the top of the lineup, both had 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored as East Rockaway captured its 15th county crown in program history and 12th in the last 17 years under coach Joe Lores.

13. Bellmore-Merrick flag football

16. Calhoun baseball

Flushed from the pocket with her intended target tightly covered by Lynbrook’s defense in the end zone on fourth down, Bellmore-Merrick quarterback Sofia LaSpina had to improvise fast. “There wasn’t much time to think and no room for me to run,” LaSpina said. “I only had one choice.” That option was Gabrielle Hanellin, who took a short pass from LaSpina from the 4-yard line and spun her way over the goal line for the eventual winning touchdown with 4:21 remaining as Bellmore-Merrick captured the inaugural Nassau County girls’ flag football championship with a 12-7 victory May 26. An interception by Bellmore-Merrick’s Adriana Iemma thwarted the Owls’ final possession on a day when both defenses thrived.

14. Mepham softball

In the opening game of the Nassau Class A softball best-of-three championship series, Mepham proved again that no deficit was too large for it to overcome, stunning neighboring Calhoun in walk-off fashion May 27. Then, the following morning, the second-seeded Pirates came out swinging, scoring six times in the top of the first inning and never looking back on the way to capturing a third straight county title with a 10-4 victory in Game 2. They went on to repeat as Long Island champs, led by senior infielders Alanna Morse and Hailey Guerrero, and sophomore pitcher Giselle DeLutri.

15. East Rockaway softball

Keeping with its theme all spring, East Rockaway opened the Nassau Class B softball best-of-3 finals May 27 against defending county champion Oyster Bay with its

Facing elimination for the fourth time in a week and trailing Clarke by two runs before even swinging a bat in the decisive Game 3 of the Nassau Class A baseball championship series June 1, Calhoun put together one of its biggest innings of the season at the perfect time. The topseeded Colts exploded for nine runs on seven hits in the bottom of the second and never looked back on the way to capturing their first county title since 2012 with a 12-6 victory. Senior Alec Edwards singled twice in the inning and drove in a pair of runs, seniors Brian Chin and Andrew Schneir both had two-run hits, and junior Charlie Imhof scored twice and drove in a run. The Colts weren’t done there. They defeated Rocky Point three days later, 8-3, for the Long Island Class A crown.

17. Hewlett boys’ tennis (Stephan Gershfeld)

Stephan Gershfeld’s dream finally came true. The Hewlett junior capped off one of most dominant tennis seasons in school history and became the first male Bulldog in 31 years to win a state singles title after defeating top-seeded Emil Grantcharov of New Rochelle 6-2, 6-2 at the New York State Public High School individual championships in Queens on June 4. Gershfeld has not lost a match in two straight high school seasons entering the tournament and didn’t even drop a set during that time. Last year’s state tourney was canceled because of Covid19. “This is definitely one of the biggest achievements that I’ve reached in my life,” he said. “Ever since seventh grade, this is the one thing that I’ve been wanting to do and this was definitely the goal and the reason I play high school tennis.”

NICE offers chance to share a ride, for real By DYLAN BALL Intern

There’s UberX Share. There’s Lyft Shared. Now there’s NICE Mini. The Nassau Inter-County Express Bus service has rolled out an on-demand rideshare service which allows those looking to get around a chance to reserve rides weekdays between 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. NICE Bus is always innovating to remain current with shifting models and trends in transportation,” Jack Khzouz, chief executive of NICE Bus, said, in a release. “With the advent of private ride services in our culture over the last few years, we challenged ourselves: ‘How can we provide a similar level of service, convenience and dependability in a public transportation mode?’ And are excited to be rolling out our first NICE Mini service along Nassau’s South Shore corridor.” The program began in early June, and is currently available in Merrick, Freeport, Baldwin, Oceanside and East Rockaway. Someone looking to share a ride can call a reservation system at (516) 228-4173), or by downloading the NICE Mini app for their smartphone. For those using the app, they’ll first be prompted to create an account and provide details of pickup and destination, as they would with any other private ride service. NICE Mini can be used for door-to-door pick-up and drop-off within its service zone — south of Sunrise Highway bordered by Lynbrook’s Atlantic Avenue in the west, to Merrick’s Hewlett Avenue to the east. It presents what officials describe as a reliable and affordable means to connect from work or home, or to the broader public transportation network of bus and rail. A bus will come pick you up toward your destination, and could pick up and drop off other passengers along the way.

Courtesy NICE Bus

It’s Not quIte an individual ride, but it’s not quite a bus either. NICE Bus tries to compete a bit with ride-hailing companies like Uber and Lyft with its new NICE Mini service, kicking off in several South Shore communities. The NICE Mini buses are compliant with the Americans With Disabilities Act, and can also accommodate wheelchair-bound riders. NICE still requires masks or facial coverings, however, per state health department regulations — which are required on all public transportation across New York. NICE offered its rideshare service or free in June, but

now a one-way trip costs $2.75. The charge can be paid with coins, MetroCard, NICE transfer, or with a credit card in advance through its smartphone app. But what separates NICE Mini even more from ridehailing companies is that there are no surcharges or increased fees during peak travel times, officials said.

giovAnni rios oF the Freeport Village Fútbol Club practiced during and after the July 1 rally. UPS drivers and warehouse workers that live in this area,” said Rosario. “So that’s why we’re here, supporting our members.” Rosario said the conditions for workers in Amazon warehouses cause a high incidence of workplace injuries due to the pressure to meet work quotas. He noted that the warehouses have an employee turnover rate of 150%, which means that an Amazon warehouse loses and replaces workers twice as fast as warehouses like Target or Walmart — a statistic confirmed in recent news reports. “Amazon does not bring good jobs to a community,” Rosario said, adding that the business competition could depress smaller Freeport businesses, and that the traffic from delivery trucks would increase noise and air pollution. The rally was organized by activist Kiana Abbady, program leader for New American Leaders, which has a specific

outreach to “uplift New Americans — anyone who identifies closely with the immigrant experience — by tackling equity in representation,” according to its website. In Freeport’s northeastern sector, the nine-acre Cleveland field is far larger than Bishop Frank O. White Park (Northern Park), the Liberty Park playground space on nearby Liberty Park Drive, or the practice field at John W. Dodd Middle School. Cow Meadow Park lies at Freeport’s southeastern extreme. “So where do the kids go?” asked Scott Richardson, a lifelong Freeport resident who is president of the Freeport Red Raven Sports and Academics Club. “They come here.” The green space is needed by the school system in addition to whatever the village provides at Cow Meadow Park, not instead of it, said Freeport School Board member Sunday Coward, who attended the rally. Coward first served on the school board in 2000 and remembered the 1997 diagram that the school system had drawn up when the village first considered gaining ownership of Cow Meadow Park. The diagram roughly sketches in some ideas for desirable athletic facilities. “That was not in lieu of Cleveland field, it was in addition to,” Coward said. “It never was, ‘Get rid of this to go down there.’” The school system has many teams, Coward said, filling the practice spaces at both the high school and the middle school and overflowing to Cleveland Avenue, where several teams can practice simultaneously. Alfreda Hudson, who lived in northeastern Freeport since she started second grade in 1974, said the village government did not seek input from the residents of the area around Cleveland Avenue before proceeding with the change from a school and neighborhood field to a huge, busy warehouse. “Anything you want to do that involves the community, you need to bring the community in it, get their opinion,” Hudson said. “Just be fair, transparent. You can’t do anything in the dark from the beginning and then expect people to get on board after the fact.”

Q. This may seem like an offbeat question, but why are our streets left with rough ruts after the workers pack up and leave? Aren’t there standards or requirements that roads we pay for are smooth? Our streets were just redone recently, and now they’re filled with cut-up trenches that are going to cause accidents and car damage. What department do we complain to? We got a building permit five years ago and went through a year of headaches, from work that didn’t pass inspection to plans that were so specific that we wondered if we would ever get the permit. Is roadwork different?

A. I can see you’ve been down this road before, and maybe even around the block a time or two. The truth is that standards are no different for road construction, in terms of what the final result should be: That work must meet specific measurements, tolerances and safety levels. Roadways are handled by either your local onte eeper Highway Department or Department of Public Works, depending on whether the work is done in a local jurisdiction or Joseph DeVito on a county right-of-way.

opinions

e may be closer to discovering “what’s out there” than ever before. Or at least we’re heading in that direction, after decades of inaction, cancellation of research projects, and just general disbelief and despair that we’ll find anything at all. Of particular note, the House of Representatives recently recommended that NASA spend $10 million per year for the next two years on the search for what House members called “technosignatures,” more comJAMEs monly known as signals. It BERnstEin radio was the first time in years that government money has been recommended for the search for ET! Also, in May, the House Appropriations Committee held a public hearing — the first such hearing in half a century — on what the U.S. military is now calling “unexplained aerial phenomena,” or UAPs, instead of what used to be called UFOs, unidentified flying objects. The House hearing came after Navy pilots reported as many as 400 sightings of unexplained objects that, the highly

trained aviators said, performed maneuvers that contradicted accepted knowledge of propulsion, flight control and even physics. A retired Navy lieutenant commander, Alex Dietrich, who said she has little interest in ET or anything like it, found herself in the media glare when, two years ago, she reported that during a routine training mission, she noticed an unusual “churning” of the ocean surface before she saw what she described as a smooth, white, oblong object that looked like a large Tic Tac flying at extraordinarily high speeds. Dietrich said she tried to engage with the object, but was unsuccessful. “It appeared to respond in a way that we didn’t recognize,” she said. “It seemed to lack any visible flight control or means of propulsion.” Dietrich was interviewed by several news organizations. The U.S. Navy didn’t quite say “bunk.” It did, however, say it had no confirmation of alien space ships. But, it added, unexplained events continue to happen. How seriously is this to be taken? According to a number of scientists and lawmakers, very seriously. Ronald S. Moultrie, the Defense Department’s top intelligence official, testified at the Appro-

priations Committee hearing in May. He said he was a science-fiction fan, but also a realist. “We want to know what’s out there just like you want to know what’s out there,” he told committee members. While many in the science and space community are thrilled that funding to study UAPs is at least being discussed, the search for ET has over the years been filled with stop and starts. In the late 1940s, the Air Force launched Project Blue Book to study UFOs. The project was terminated in 1969, after some 12,618 sightings were reported. Of those, 701 remained “unidentified.” But University of Colorado scientists involved with the project reported that none of the sightings represented “a threat to our national security.” Then, in 1992, American astronomers began a project using two telescopes, one in Puerto Rico and the other in California, to scout the night sky for potential signs of intelligent life deep in space. A year later, the project was over. Sen. Richard Bryan of Nevada introduced an amendment that ended NASA’s funding for the search for ET, and he even mocked the effort. “The Great Martian Chase may finally come to an end,” Bryan said. “As of today,

hat were once UFOs are now ‘unexplained aerial phenomena.’

millions have been spent and we have yet to bag a single little green fellow. Not a single Martian has said, ‘Take me to your leader,’ and not a single flying saucer has applied for FAA approval.” Bryan may have gotten laughs on the Senate floor, but not from the scientific community — and particularly not from Jill Tarter, a project scientist in the 1992 effort and one of the country’s premier proponents of the search for intelligent life in the cosmos. For those who saw the 1997 film version of Carl Sagan’s 1985 novel “Contact,” Tarter was portrayed by Jody Foster. The $10 million recommended by the House this year is minimal compared with what is needed to find what we want to know. Several private organizations and individuals, including Microsoft Co-founder Paul Allen, have donated money to keep the search going. And Tarter, for one, is convinced that someone or something is out there. “So far, we’ve examined in detail one glass of water out of the ocean,” she said in a recent interview. “If your question was, ‘Are there fish in the ocean?’ and you scooped up a glass and you looked in it and you didn’t find a fish, I don’t think you’d conclude that there are no fish in the ocean.” James Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

The Fourth flutters by, and we’re still standing

s the earth shifts underfoot, as the “givens” of our lives unravel and the standards for decent behavior soften, how do we stand our ground? The past weeks have felt particularly destabilizing as summer officially launched, travelers swarmed the roads and airports, Covid continued its spread, and the Jan. 6 congressional committee began in earnest to drop a net on the former president. Then, of course, there’s monkeypox. RAnDi But I’m not KREiss here to sound more alarms. On this post-Fourth, early-summer week I offer some thoughts on saving our sanity in this season, and finding higher ground from which to survey our lives. Perhaps sanity is a reach. Perhaps we can connect with one another in meaningful ways, and accept our current communal stress as a survivable and transitory experience. On June 28, a senior aide to Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, swore to tell the truth at a sur-

prise convening of the Jan. 6 committee, which is investigating the attempted coup at the Capitol. (It still shocks me to write those words). The aide, Cassidy Hutchinson, testified about the former president’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election. She seemed forthright, and her testimony about Trump’s rages and his desire to storm the Capitol along with his gun-toting supporters was disturbing. No, disturbing doesn’t adequately describe the feeling of knowing that a president was running riot with the law, historic precedent, and basic human decency. We knew this, but it was astonishing to hear the words. Hutchinson said he threw food at the wall. She described a cesspool of foul-mouthed American politicians running the government in a frenzy of self-interest and a unique lust for power. Ordinary people like me must wait and see, now, if her testimony holds up, if others testify, if the Justice Department steps in, if Trump, in a moment of contrition (and fear of indictment) steps back from public life. That would not discourage his millions of followers, but it would be a start on the

road to political equilibrium. It won’t happen, but maybe it will. That’s how things roll these days. Hutchinson was Tuesday. Then, on Friday, the Fourth of July weekend launched, and travel-hungry Americans hit the road. Planes flew, and many were canceled. The roads were jammed. No way of knowing if the person sitting next to you in the roadside diner had tested positive for Covid that morning. If you sat in a field, or near a harbor, or even in front of your TV as the fireworks burst in air, what did you feel? Will the red, white and blue always signal a love of democracy? Will this political rancor subside? Will justice prevail, or are those just words we have come to believe in our lifetime? My thought is that we have reserves of greatness yet to tap. My thought is that reason will win the day. I think that, but I’m not as sure as I once was. The other stuff unsettling us, the delays and the indifferent service and the absent employees and the supply shortages and the alarming inflation and the continuing concern about getting sick in the

ome thoughts on saving our sanity, and finding higher ground.

wrong place or the wrong time, these are all real, but they will resolve in time. Every newspaper and magazine I pick up has articles about easing anxiety. Start meditating. Walk 30 minutes a day, try hot yoga, have a bedtime routine. Whatever you do, don’t look at any screens in bed. Ha! Don’t watch disturbing television, like Don Winslow’s action movies, before sleep. Ha! Eat healthy. Ha! Wear a mask. Well, I do, but nobody else does. It’s just going to be a slog, and we can do it. I have kids down with Covid and grandkids rafting someplace called the River of No Return. We have tickets for a flight that is unlikely to go. You know, we must deal with all of it as best we can, and not burden ourselves with guilt if we don’t meditate and are freaking out and want to just let it rip. The greatest concern is that we, as Americans, find our way back together again. Other generations have had crises of faith. This is our moment. I don’t pray, but if I did — and I might — I would pray for peace of mind, for you, for me, and for our fellow and sister travelers. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

Our national spirit shouldn’t fade on July 5

t has been called both the physical and symbolic heart of our democracy, located within the very walls where our elected representatives in Washington make our country’s most important decisions. The Capitol Rotunda is an impressive room, even by today’s standards. Its dome looms some 50 feet above, its array of windows cascading light on the history represented below. Massive paintings adorn the circular walls of the rotunda space, depicting the early years of our country, including four created by the “painter of the Revolution,” John Trumbull. Probably his most famous is “Declaration of Independence,” first hung in the rotunda in 1817 — decades before construction in this part of the Capitol building would be completed. Trumbull traveled to Independence Hall in Philadelphia to capture the room where the Continental Congress met ahead of the American Revolution. He met many of the Founding Fathers who put their freedoms — and lives — on the line by affixing their name to a document King George III considered nothing short of treason. It’s a work of art that is still instantly recognized by just about any American, even two centuries later. But while it’s intended to depict a historical event, the truth is, Trumbull’s painting is not exactly historically accurate. For one thing, he included just 42 of the signers. There were 56. And while seeing everyone in the same room at once to

letters A queen? No, but more British culture! To the Editor: We read Randi Kreiss’s “Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?” (June 16-22). Wonderfully entertaining and, unfortunately, spot-on about the state of America’s politics. I’m recovering from knee-replacement surgery and have plenty of time to catch up on those shows my wife and I DVR’ed. We, too, love “Midsomer Murders” and the authenticity of British actors. Another alltime favorite of ours is “Endeavor”; we’re very excited about the new series coming sooner or later. Thanks also to Randi for her World War II British and Northern Ireland reading suggestions. I’m looking forward to checking them out of the Long Beach library ASAP. LARRY FELDMAN Long Beach

declare independence is riveting, that’s not actually how it happened. Signers came and went over a period of days, shrouded in secrecy, to sign the document. There were likely never more than a few people in the room with the Declaration of Independence before its delivery to England. But we’re splitting hairs. What truly matters is something Trumbull could never capture with his paintbrush: true Americanism. England was the most powerful country — the most powerful empire — on the face of the planet when the wording of the Declaration of Independence was approved by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776. Yet these 56 men, representing the 13 Colonies, believed freedom could defeat that power, and that these lands on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean could indeed be free. We refer to America as “the great experiment” — can people truly rule themselves? And while it’s no longer the only democracy, it remains one of the oldest. But longevity is not without its pitfalls. For one, the very spirit that brought these brave people together in the first place can fade. President Dwight D. Eisenhower once said that “freedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men, and so it must be daily earned and refreshed — else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.” The Fourth of July isn’t just about fireworks and waving the American flag, but about refreshing what freedom truly

means, so that we can continue earning it every day. No one born, raised and living in America has known anything but freedom, and because of that, we can take that freedom for granted. When true threats to our democracy materialize, we may brush them off as inconsequential. But they are not inconsequential. And we have a duty as Americans not only to remember what freedom and democracy are, but also to live them, and to lead by example. That means allowing for diversity in thoughts and opinions. That means checking oppression at the door. That means treating everyone the same way you would want to be treated. The strength of America is not a piece of parchment carried on a ship across the Atlantic, but rather the people to which it granted freedom and independence, now nearly 250 years later. Something John Trumbull certainly understood by not depicting what actually happened in Philadelphia in 1776, but instead capturing what that moment truly represented: governing together, and governing one another, always putting ourselves in the place of those we lead. James Bryce, a former British ambassador to the United States, said it best in a 1909 speech he delivered to a conference at Mohonk Lake in Ulster County: “Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous, as well as strong.”

OpINIONs

ssues of life and death, liberty, justice and freedom call for citizen involvement. We should have strong opinions about such topics. Apathy destroys more democracies than tanks do. But while civic participation is necessary, the U.S. has become more polarized, more confrontational and less able to reach consensus on major policy questions. Even simple respect for one another is getting hard to come by. A perfect example is the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to JOHN overturn the court’s 1973 deciO’CONNELL sion in Roe v. Wade. To many, the Supreme Court has become a malignant danger to America now that its majority leans toward originalism, though many of the same people thought the court was perfectly principled when it sided with progressives. While some Americans believe that sending the issue of abortion back to each state’s legislators — women and men elected by the citizens of each district in their state — ought to be celebrated as a victory for democracy and the rule of law, others think that overturning Roe is an attack on women, on privacy

rights and, as President Biden called it, “a tragic error.” Some of the most furious critics of the court’s ruling believe that “birthing people” have an absolute right to terminate a pregnancy. To argue otherwise, they say, is a patronizing, misogynistic assault on women. Six unelected judges shouldn’t interfere with a woman’s “right to choose,” they say, though it was fine to have a majority of unelected judges side with the far left in Roe, Casey (a later, related case) and other decisions for decades. Because the justices ruled against her preference, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, claims the court has “lost legitimacy.” She wants to “pack” it with additional Biden-nominated justices. Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, promised that women would “defy” the ruling. The reversal of Roe is just the most recent cause for extreme reactions. The House of Representatives’ prejudiced Jan. 6 committee, operating without cross-examination of witnesses, has roused hyper reactions on the right. Covid vaccination and mask requirements provoked folks on both sides to confront others, sometimes even physically. Many Americans are angry over social media censorship, while others are mad that the social media don’t limit

speech more aggressively. The Biden administration’s implicit invitation and acceptance of millions of migrants entering the U.S. from Mexico with no effective controls, notwithstanding strict immigration laws, drives many citizens nuts. Others welcome this border breakdown, whether in the name of hospitality, charity, cheap labor or potential political advantage. So there are a lot of important issues currently provoking extreme reactions. And there are more ways than ever to proclaim our opinions. Social media triggers the brilliant and the intellectually immature alike, and enables selfexpression, including radical opinions, incitement, the intentional or ignorant spreading of misinformation, political and organizational propaganda, or just wacky, narcissistic stupidity. There is, of course, a big difference between the enthusiastic exercise of our constitutionally protected freedoms of speech and assembly and the violent assaults, looting and arson that marked recent “mostly peaceful protests.” Marching in solidarity for legitimate rights isn’t the same as throwing fake blood on adoption- and pregnancy-counseling centers and setting one on fire. There’s a distinction between opinions based on sincerely held beliefs and radical acts of vio-

he court agrees that it has no right to decide what women may do with their bodies.

lence designed to crush those who hold those beliefs. There’s a world of difference between disagreeing with court opinions and attempting to assassinate a justice. Courts aren’t legislatures. The three dissenting justices “do not make a serious effort to dispute the points the majority makes about the legal basis for Roe in the first instance,” wrote Carrie Campbell Severino, the president of the Judicial Crisis Network. “Their argument amounts to an appeal to uphold the court’s protracted acts of judicial fiat on the subject of abortion because they like the outcome of those precedents as a matter of policy. Such brazen melding of policy preferences with constitutional interpretation undermines the rule of law.” I think the court actually agrees with those who say the justices have no right to decide what women may do with their bodies. Writing for the majority, Justice Samuel Alito said: “Roe was on a collision course with the Constitution from the day it was decided, Casey perpetuated its errors, and those errors do not concern some arcane corner of the law of little importance to the American people. Rather, wielding nothing but raw judicial power … the Court usurped the power to address a question of profound moral and social importance that the Constitution unequivocally leaves for the people.” John O’Connell is a former executive editor of the Herald Community Newspapers.
