It’s 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night,’ this jukebox musical is surefire fun for rock ‘n’ roll rebels of all ages, featuring such classics as ’Heartbreak Hotel,’ ‘Hound Dog,’ ‘Jailhouse Rock,’ and ‘Don’t Be Cruel.’

Originally produced on Broadway, it arrives at the Madison Theatre, Thursday, July 14, through July 31.

Celebrating 60 years in Freeport and a life full of achievements

JULiUS PEARSE, AN activist and dignitary known throughout Nassau County, was honored for his 89th birthday last Friday at the Joysetta and Julius Pearse African American Museum of Nassau County. Above, Julius with his wife, Joysetta, the museum’s former director, who died last year.

If a man is known by the company he keeps, then Julius O. Pearse is a remarkable man to know.

The list of dignitaries, family, and friends who attended his 89th birthday party at the Joysetta and Julius Pearse African American Museum of Nassau County last Friday testified to his influence, not only in Freeport, where he has lived for six decades, but also in the cultural and ethnic life of Nassau County.

Julius shared the party with his son Gary, who was born on July 6, 1953, the day Julius turned 20. Gary now works alongside his father at the museum.

The July 8 party started at 7 p.m., but for Julius and Gary, it began early, when Deputy County Executive Anissa Moore, Executive Director of Minority Affairs Lionel Chitty, and the executive director of the county’s Human Rights Commission, Rodney Mcrae, came to the museum to present Julius and Gary with a citaContinued on page 8

Renovations and new equipment for PAL boxing gym

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

The Freeport Police Athletic League’s boxing gym in Bishop Frank O. White Park is undergoing a major renovation, enlarging it to make room for state-ofthe-art athletic equipment and restrooms.

The well-stocked gym has barely enough space for its weight room, exercise area, boxing ring and locker room. It has no restrooms, so its regular visitors use the restrooms in a small park building nearby.

The area is being enlarged to outfit the facility with a new, cutting-edge weight room, a new

locker room, showers and restrooms.

Coach Sal Giovanniello took over the gym following the retirement of longtime coach Joe Higgins, who founded it over 25 years ago. “We’ve had multiple champions that came up through this gym,” Giovannielo said, “and we plan on continuing that when the gym gets renovated and we get our kids back.

We’re shooting for the top again.

No question about it.”

Giovanniello said the renovation will not reduce any open area of the park, but instead will occupy small vacant grass sections directly around the gym.

Inspired by his father, who

was a coach in the Huntington area, Giovanniello pursued coaching after his amateur boxing career ended. He started a family and moved to Freeport, where he discovered the gym that Joe Higgins inspired.

The gym’s renovation is in honor of Freeport native and professional boxer Patrick Day, who died October 16, 2019, at the age of 27 from a brain injury sustained while competing. Day is recognized as much for his personal kindness as for his boxing prowess.

Covid-19 and its consequent closues nearly knocked out the PAL boxing gym. “The pandemic destroyed us pretty much,”

Coach Sal said. The PAL gym boxers were competing in a tournament at the Freeport recreation center in March 2020 with victory in their sights when their events began getting canceled.

The pandemic disrupted training for gym members, some of whom stopped boxing entirely and never returned. Giovanniel-

lo is optimistic that the new construction will make the gym memberships even better than before.

Anyone 13 and older, who can present a report card with high grades, can join and train at the gym and will be exempt from paying the membership fees.

Hark! Hark! The dogs hardly bark

By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

Maybe the fur isn’t really flying, but man’s best furry friends just might feel like they’re half-airborne as they race across the dog runs in Cow Meadow Park.

Mayor Robert Kennedy presided over the new facility’s ribbon-cutting last Friday. Surrounding him were local officials, village staff, and owners of dogs ranging in size from well under 20 pounds to more than 50.

“The Village of Freeport is pleased to announce the construction, completion and ribbon-cutting of two dog playgrounds here in the Village of Freeport Cow Meadow Park,” Kennedy said. “You’ll notice one is for 20 pounds and over, that’s the one on the left, and one is for 20 pounds and under, which is on your right.”

Panting and grinning, the dogs had already tested out the runs prior to the ceremony. Three golden retrievers and a poodle had trod purposefully across the golden pea gravel that surfaced the largedog run, while a Welsh Corgi and a Jack Russell dashed along the fence that separated the small-dog playground from the larger dogs, yapping briefly to their bigger buddies. The golden retrievers cheerfully wrestled each other into the gravel, and noisily lapped water from the fountains near the fence.

“Included in the constructions,” Kennedy said prior to cutting the ribbon, “we have water fountains for our pets, plastic bag dispensers for waste pickup and disposal, and benches and picnic tables for the owners to relax while they’re watching their pets. We also provided parking immediately adjacent to the runs so that our owners can park and easily get access.”

Pea gravel is highly rated for dog runs because its tiny pieces have no rough edges, it doesn’t heat up on hot days, and its price is reasonable.

“Our best friends now need no longer go to East Rockaway, Malverne, or Bellmore,” said Kennedy. “This park will be open seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset, and we invite all our furry friends down here to join us in the beautiful Village of Freeport Cow Meadow Dog Park.”

Kennedy chose the moment to thank Rob Fisenne and the Department of Public Works for not only planning, designing, and constructing the dog park, but also for renovating the storm sewers, parking lots, sidewalks, and picnic tables, as well as for maintenance of the grounds.

He also thanked Vicki Dinielli, director of the Freeport Recreation Center, for assuming responsibility for the coordination of all the events, public and private, at the park: movies every other Friday from now till the end of the summer, and in addition, sporting activities such as soccer, baseball, tennis, basketball, shuffleboard, and pickleball.

“Let’s not forget our police department,” Kennedy went on, “which has implemented a new regular inspection scheduled down here in the park, and the

I assure you, there is much more to come in the near future here in Cow Meadow Park.”

During the question-and-answer period that followed, it came out that each of the two dog runs is 80 by 100 feet, that owners will be able to sit at the picnic tables and benches inside each area, and that overhangs have been ordered to generate shade on hot, sunny days.

Another question from listeners elicited the answer that, in September, a row of big ferns will be planted along the fencing that will further buffer any doggie sounds that might be heard by the birds in the sanctuary pond west of the dog runs.

Freeport Village Justice Sue Lyons commented that she, too, has gravel for her dogs, and asked about hosing down the gravel to prevent smells from building up.

“There is a faucet right by the dog water fountain,” Kennedy said, “and there is a hose and they’ll be washing it down on a regular basis. By the way, I don’t want to see extra stones going from here over to your house,” which made Lyons laugh.

“They have cameras, don’t they?” said a man’s voice among the viewers, and everyone laughed again.

Kennedy added that the park would be open seven days a week, from sunrise to sunset. He pointed to the rules posted on a nearby sign and invited suggestions from the public.

“The entire park fence along South Main Street is being replaced,” Kennedy, “as well as the fencing around the basketball courts. Pickleball is now officially being used in the park, and there’s a lot more on the agenda. Thank you all for joining us! Let’s let the dogs in!”

The ribbon was cut with a cheerful hubbub, and the dogs raced back in to enjoy their new playground.

Dignitaries convene for ribbon-cutting at the Sparkle on Stage Cultural Arts Center

Passion for the arts doesn’t always pay, but for Robyn Workman, her daughter Stefanie, and their supporters, passion has finally paid off.

For years, they have discussed their dream of a permanent home for Sparkle on Stage, Inc., the youth theater group founded by Freeport native Workman years ago. In May, they moved into 195 Woodcleft Avenue and fixed it up to have an internal theater with dressing rooms and rehearsal space.

In fact, the space will be more than just a home for Sparkle.

Julius Pearse’s magnificent 89th birthday continued from front page tion on behalf of Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, as well as each of their offices.

Hempstead Mayor Waylyn Hobbs, Jr., also came early to present a citation from the village.

Julius presided over the party from his seat at a grand table decorated with glowing lights in the museum’s auditorium. Surrounding him and Gary were four generations of the Pearse family, from Julius and two of his siblings down to a great-granddaughter. Displays of African American history covered the walls.

Among the distinguished g u e s t s we r e former Hempstead mayor Don Ryan; Tina Hodg epresiCarrié solages Bowles, dent of OperaNassau County tion Get Ahead, a serLegislator vice for senior citizens in the village; Village Trustees Kevin Boone and Clariona Griffith; former New York State Assemblywoman Earlene Hooper; jazz musician Chuk Fowler with his wife Kim; Rod Wilson of The Cross Cultural Initiative of Long Island; and CUNY Brooklyn professor Lynda Day, a former curator at the museum.

Legislator Carrié Solages honored both Julius and Gary with proclamations. “You have sacrificed so much time to give to our community,” he told Julius.

Ryan took the mic to say, “You are a trailblazer, sir. You have a lot of friends, and you deserve them, because you’ve done a lot of good in your life and you continue to do so.”

“You have paved the way for so many to come behind you and follow,” said Trustee Boone.

“On behalf of the mayor and the entire trustee body,” said Trustee Griffin, “we definitely appreciate everything you do.”

Residents from Freeport, Hempstead and beyond sat chatting at the tables during dinner. All have benefited from the museum’s displays and community activities.

The band Next Level perfor med songs made famous by Black entertainers and composers of the sixties through the eighties.

“You outdid yourself,” Julius told the musicians when their set concluded.

“You brought back a lot of memories, and you did it right.”

Julius addressed his party guests with humor and purpose. He recalled his 20th birthday, when he cradled his newborn son Gary against his chest. He provoked laughter when he told of how his sister and constant childhood companion, Jeanette Settles, “ratted me out and my mother took all my cigarettes, but I still love her dearly.”

Julius Pearse sPoke to friends who attended last Friday’s party, with son Gary at his right, surrounded by other family members.

Julius Pearse’s achievements Raised in North Carolina, Julius Pearse has had several careers in his long life.

■ Became Freeport’s first Black police officer in 1962; reitred a lieutenant in 1983.

■ With Nassau County police officer Dennis Ulmer, helped found the Nassau County Guardians Association, Inc., a group that mentors Black law enforcement officers.

■ Co-founded the Coalition for a Better Freeport in the 1970s.

■ With his wife, Joysetta, founded the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Committee in 1981. saxoPhonist kirk Bailey and the Next Level band kept the partygoers entertained during dinner.

Prolonged applause and cheers came when he recalled Joysetta, “my loving wife who passed away last year.” He concluded his speech with high praise for Black women.

“Had it not been for the contribution of Black women,” he said, “this country would not be where it is today.”

Chef Barbara Petersmith and her catering team, the Cooking Spoon, danced to the Pearses’ table, rolling the cart that held Julius and Gary’s birthday cake, while the crowd sang along to Stevie Wonder’s version of “Happy Birthday.”

Gary stood to speak.

“I gotta give my father credit,” Gary said. “He didn’t give up on me.”

With humor and honesty similar to his father’s, Gary briefly reviewed his recovery from the years when he was “a lost son,” and told how his father influenced his return to a good life.

“That’s why I’m standing here today,” Gary said, “as a proud man at my father’s right side.“ The only gift request the Pearses made was for donations to the museum, which can be done through writing a check to TAAGS and mailing it to the museum at 110 N. Franklin St., in Hempstead, or via CashApp at “$JJPAAM.”

■ Established Jul-Joy Associates, a private investigative firm that operated in Freeport until 2002.

■ Certified as a genealogist in 1986.

■ With Joysetta, founded The African Atlantic Genealogical Society.

■ Established a permanent office for TAAGS at the African American Museum of Nassau County In 1998.

■ Joysetta was appointed museum director, an unpaid position, in 2012.

The couple combined their genealogy work with finding “hidden histories” — African American achievements rarely found in common history books.

Herald sports Ducks carry momentum into second half

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

F

or the first time under thirdyear manager Wally Backman, the Long Island Ducks enter the second half of the Atlantic League Baseball schedule without the security of a playoff spot.

The four-time league champion Ducks completed the first half July 5 with a record of 36-30, but that left them more than a dozen games off the pace of North Division runaway winner Southern Maryland.

“We made some changes with our pitching staff and I’m pleased with how we finished the first half,” Backman said.

“We were 10 games over .500 in June and we’re going in the right direction.

“We’re not satisfied with our record and we know we’re capable of much more,” he added. “We know we’re better going into the second half. Southern Maryland had a great first half. We played them tough head-to-head. It’s just a lot of teams that beat us couldn’t beat them.”

Entering the second half, Backman said the Ducks’ five-man starting pitching rotation is comprised of Stephen Tarpley, Scott Harkin, Akeel Morris, Joe Iorio and Anderson DeLeon. Brett Kennedy, who had a team-leading 3.03 ERA, had his contract purchased by the Boston Red Sox on May 24. Iorio and DeLeon, who began the season in the bullpen, were both members of the Ducks’ 2019 championship team.

“Joe and Anderson have made our rotation better,” Backman said. “We’re going with five guys for now and I may even bump it to six with Bennett Perry coming back from injury.”

Tarpley, a lefthander who appeared in one game for the New York Mets last season, split six decisions in the first half with a 3.59 ERA and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 53 to 13.

“We had a cold start to the year, but we’ve picked up our game a lot and we have a lot of promise,” Tarpley said.

“Everyone is exciting about what we can accomplish in the second half.”

The Ducks’ closer on a given night varies based on matchups. Tyler Webb (2.33 ERA) has 6 saves, and Sandy Baez (1.71) and Nick Goody (2.45) both have 5.

Regarding the offense, Backman said: “Right now our lineup is pretty set. We don’t have a big bopper who’s going to hit 30-40 home runs and can change a game on one swing of the bat.”

The Ducks went deep only 43 times in 66 games, ranking 9th in the 10-team league in the category.

“Our ballpark is tough to hit homers in regardless,” Backman added. “So we have to continue to manufacture as much offense as possible and we have the personnel to do it.”

STEphEN TarpLEY carrIES a 3.59 ERA into the second half of the season to go with 53 strikeouts against only 13 walks.

First baseman Sam Travis has been Long Island’s most consistent hitter, Backman said. In the first half, Travis batted .314 with a team-leading 8 home runs and 53 RBIs. “Sam’s been hitting very well for us after not getting a lot of playing time in AAA in recent years,” Backman noted. “He’s playing every day for us and he’s right up there among the league leaders in RBIs despite missing a couple of weeks.”

Ten-year MLB veteran Alejandro De Aza, who played 108 games with Lancaster last season, is raking at the plate in his first year with the Ducks. The 38-year-old outfielder had a team-best .325 average in the first half with 5 homers, 32 RBIs and 34 runs. He’s part of a deep outfield that includes Johnni Turbo, L.J. Mazzilli and Dustin Woodcock.

The infield took a hit when the Mets purchased the contract of shortstop Deven Marrero, who anchored the Ducks defense. “We lost Deven who was by far the best shortstop in the league,” Backman said. “Good for him, but that’s a hard position to fill.”

Kevin Whatley made his Ducks debut

FIrST BaSEMaN SaM Travis, No. 26, has been the Ducks’ most consistent hitter and has 8 homers, 53 RBIs and a .314 batting average.

July 5 and will see time at shortstop along with Vladamir Frias, the primary second baseman so far. Joe DeCarlo also plays second and splits time at catcher along with Austin Rei. Deibinson Romero returned at third base and had 7 homers and 30 RBIs in the first half.

“We just have to go out there and play the way we’re capable of playing,” Backman said. “When all is said and done, we should be right there in contention in the end.”

2012 championship team honored

The Ducks hosted a 10th anniversary celebration of their 2012 Atlantic League championship team on July 2.

In attendance were two integral parts of the championship club. They included

shortstop Dan Lyons, who was named the 2012 Championship Series Most Valuable Player after his walk-off bunt single in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game Five won the title for Long Island, and outfielder Kraig Binick, a native of Hicksville, who was an Atlantic League All-Star that year and batted .405 during the playoffs. Lyons threw out a ceremonial first pitch to Binick prior to the game against York.

“Our run to the championship in 2012 is one of the most memorable stories in Atlantic League history,” said Ducks president/GM Michael Pfaff. “On this milestone anniversary of that incredible season, we welcomed back some distinguished alumni and celebrated their accomplishments.”

Rebirth for Bishop Frank O. White Park gym old gym member and Freeport resident, commended the gym’s report card policy.

“It’s good g rades first around here,” he said, “Then you become an athlete. Without good grades, you can’t do any of that.”

Giovaniello’s goal is to teach his students much more than boxing skills. He wants them to learn life lessons that will aid them outside of the gym.

“When the kids get out of high school, we don’t want them just sitting around and coming to the gym.’” Giovaniello said.

“This is a place where you come in and you continue to grow. It’s absolutely community-based.”

Giovaniello uses his Freeport connections to assist gym members after high school. He tries to locate jobs for them, depending on their interests, through his contacts with several unions.

“This gym means a lot to me. It kept me out of a lot of trouble over the years,” said Danny Angel, a 32-year-old Freeport PAL member. “I used to come here consis-

Forever

‘Wild about Harry’

By Karen Bloom kbloom@liherald.com

H

arry Chapin’s tragic death is now decades behind us, but his music and philanthropy are

forever enshrined in Long Island’s collective consciousness. Stuart Markus, a longtime fixture on the local folk and acoustic scene, maintains his role as guardian of Chapin’s legacy, organizing the yearly memorial concert in Eisenhower Park.

Markus, who is based in Malverne, remains just as When: passionate about Chapin’s Monday, July 18 music and his humanitarian 7:15 p.m. zeal as when he began this Admission is free tribute event 19 years ago.

Where: Now in its 17th year at Harry Chapin Chapin’s namesake theater in Lakeside Theatre, the park, some 30 musicians Eisenhower Park, will gather with fans on East Meadow Monday, July 18, for “Just Wild About Harry.”

Despite the years that have passed since Chapin’s death on the Long Island Expressway en route to his ill-fated performance in Eisenhower Park in July 1981, the man and his music still resonates — especially here on Long Island.

In fact, several show regulars were among the crowd, according to Markus, when what was supposed to be a joyous event turned into a vigil.

“Harry is so beloved in memory on Long Island,” Markus says. “You don’t have to look too hard to find someone who met him, whose school he did a benefit for, or someone who’s been helped by one of his charities. It’s so meaningful for the music community to come together and, in effect, do the concert he might have given.”

And come together they do — year after year. “I never

expected it would go on this long,” Markus says. “It is such a wonderful concert and everyone has a great time, which is a tribute to what a great man Chapin was.”

The troubadour’s song catalogue is creatively interpreted by each act, who make it their own, while honoring Chapin. “We’ve had some amazing arrangements, from folky to country, torch-song style to hard rock,” adds Markus. “It’s really interesting to see what they do. I encourage them to make songs fresh. They’re not just reproducing them the way Harry did.”

This year’s lineup includes staples of the area’s music community; returnees Roger Street Friedman, Frank Walker, Patricia Shih & Stephen Fricker, Robinson Treacher, Debra Lynne & Lora Kendall, Joe Iadanza, MediaCrime, Judith Zweiman, Martha Trachtenberg, Robin Greenstein, Christine Solimeno, Grand Folk Railroad, and Russ Seeger. They are joined by Markus, who performs with his longtime folk trio Gathering Time, and newcomers country guitarist JD Leonard and the Famous Dr. Scanlon Band, who are popular for their acoustic Americana sound.

As is their signature, Markus and Gathering Time will once again perform “Taxi.” “It’s such an epic ballad,” he says, “and his breakthrough song. It’s just a masterwork of songcraft.”

Besides Chapin’s big hits, his lesser works are also given their due, and other favorites, including “Shooting Star” and “Story of a Life.” And, as always, in the true spirit of Harry Chapin, the show concludes with the entire group on stage in a rendition of “Circle,” Chapin’s traditional closing.

More than just a concert, the free event involves a food drive. Concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable items to support Long Island Cares, the regional food bank and humanitarian organization founded by Chapin in 1980.

“The annual Harry Chapin tribute concert is always a very special event for all of us at Long Island Cares because so many of Harry’s fans attend and are extremely supportive of Long Island Cares and the work we do to assist the more than 316,000 Long Islanders struggling with domestic hunger and high food insecurity,” Paule Pachter, the organization’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.

The concert, held rain or shine, will be livestreamed on Facebook.

Q. We have been looking for real wood kitchen cabinets, and they really run the whole spectrum, from semi-reasonable to very expensive. A salesman told us that well-made cabinets and doors cost more because they’re made better, with more pieces fit together instead of from single panels. He told us that we’ll regret picking the cheaper doors, saying they won’t last. I know that over the years, our closet doors bind up from the changes in humidity, but is it really a significant cause to have to buy more expensive cabinets?

Wantagh

Spectacular- New To Market!

A. Yes. The most important factor when selecting materials for any type of construction, whether it’s a building or a cabinet, is to keep in mind that everything has movement, both internal and external. As I have written many times, wood was once the center of a tree, never intended in nature to be cut up and exposed. Once the wood is onte eeper taken from the heart of a tree, it begins to change shape based on temperature and moisture content.

Wood that is intended for structural use, like a common 2 x 4 wall stud, is typically dried to about 19 percent moisture content. This is done by laying the lumber outdoors in a covered area. Indoor lumber products are kiln dried to around 8 percent to balance out with indoor humidity, but the wood will not just stay at that moisture level. As the seasons change, wood products continue to adjust to the humidity they are subjected to.

It used to be that craftsmen let the finish trim moldings remain stored indoors, on site, to adjust to their final indoor installation. Unfortunately, most people are in a hurry to get the job done, and move on so the wood doesn’t get the chance to acclimate. Every so often I am asked to explain why there is cracking in sheetrock at corners or around doors. Most of the time, people suspect that it’s a structural problem, when it actually is the twisting and expansion or contraction of lumber that still has a different moisture level than the building.

The dynamic movement can split the lumber and crack the walls easily.

The same kind of movement can occur in cabinet doors, so to adjust for this internal movement, doors are often configured with what is referred to as “rails and styles” surrounding the center panel.

A well-crafted cabinet door will have movement if you place your hand on the center panel and move it up or down or side to side. The movement allows the door panel to expand or contract without binding, twisting or warping. Many doors imitate the look of multi-part doors, but are routed panels made from a single board. This kind of door can warp from typical moisture changes in a kitchen, from boiling water on a stove, a cross breeze on a summer day or when the heat comes on and the house gets dry. Good luck!

opinions

he summer is well under way and, happily, the U.S. Congress has gone home. While in D.C., they didn’t do much beyond a watered-down gun-control bill, with lots of other critical issues pending. With Washington quiet, all the action shifts to Fulton County, Georgia, where a grand jury may decide the fate of everyone from former President Donald Trump to other big names like Sen. Lindsey Graham and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Some people JERRY imagine that any county down KREMER South is a small municipality with a sheriff who spends most of his time chasing speeding cars driven by Northeasterners.

According to Wikipedia, Fulton County had the sad distinction of having 35 lynchings from 1877 to 1950, but today it is a large and bustling metropolitan area, encompassing most of Atlanta and 15 other cities. It has a population of over 1 million, very much like Nassau

A

and Suffolk counties.

Fulton County is named after Robert Fulton, the creator of the steamboat. It is home to such enterprises as Coca Cola, AT&T, Equifax, EarthLink, Cox Communications, Porsche Cars of North America and Wendy’s/ Arbys. Cases of major magnitude are heard in its county courthouse, and the grand jury that has been impaneled to hear the Trump election charges is composed of jurors from all walks of life.

For the past month, the Jan 6 congressional committee has been airing evidence on the insurrection, with numerous witnesses who have offered some headline-grabbing testimony about Trump’s actions on that fateful day. But no one knows whether the committee will make any criminal referrals to Attorney General Merrick Garland. And even if does single out the former president and his cohorts, it isn’t certain that Garland will take any action.

Meanwhile, New York state Attorney General Letitia James is pursuing civil allegations against the former president and members of his family. She has dog-

gedly gone after the Trump organization’s accountants and appraisers, along with present and former employees. It is possible that James will start a major civil suit against all of the Trump enterprises and family, but that would have no immediate criminal consequences.

So the real action is taking place in front a panel of grand jurors in Georgia who can indict anyone who they believe has committed a state crime relating to the 2020 election. Last month they heard from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who undoubtedly testified about his now famous conversations with Trump in which he was asked to “find” 11,780 votes.

In addition, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking the testimony of Giuliani and Graham. Guliani testified at numerous Georgia hearings, claiming that the state’s election returns were fraudulent. Graham called the Secretary of State asking about absentee ballots, with the clear inference that those ballots might be fraudulent as well.

To date, there have been a small num-

he real action is taking place in front of a panel of Fulton County grand jurors.

ber of possible witnesses mentioned, but Willis has made it clear that she will call many people in the Trump orbit who made similar claims about the Georgia results.

Some of those potential witnesses will challenge the subpoenas they’ve received, but it is almost certain that Georgia courts will deny those efforts and force them to appear and testify.

Most of the American public’s attention has been focused on the Jan 6 committee hearings, and there is no doubt that in the coming weeks, there will be more testimony that may have an impact on Trump’s future political dreams, but nothing will emerge that will lead to any immediate criminal indictments. But Fulton County Court may be where a parade of well-known political names, including Trump himself, could face election-tampering charges.

History is made regularly in Washington, but a grand jury in Georgia may make some national history of its own.

Come along with me on a trip Down East

re you traveling for real, or from your laptop? So many of us, passionate about getting up and going, have been making do with travel brochures and virtual tours these past two-plus years. Some folks who spent a lifetime saving for a special adventure or retirement trip are still waiting for it to be safe enough. On the scale of problems people are facing these days, travel plans pale, but taking to the road is still one of life’s abiding joys.

Over the years, you have jourRAnDi neyed with me KREiss around the world.

Whether or not you are travelers yourselves, if you turned to this page, you have visited dozens of countries, from Australia to Abu Dhabi to Tanzania to New Zealand to South Africa.

And I’m not hanging up my traveling shoes just yet. I am, however, staying stateside these days. The amalgam of unmasked crowds, canceled flights, war in Ukraine and concerns about getting sick in foreign lands has fixed our GPS to the USA.

If I wrote an essay called “What I Learned During the Coronavirus Pandemic,” it would emphasize traveling light and being ready to change plans.

Our plan this summer was to go to Maine, and so here we are.

We picked three locations, and various Airbnbs. I write now from Kennebunkport, which is a first-time visit for us, “us” being my husband and me and Lillybee, the traveling dog.

We’re in a small, 200-year-old house that has been beautifully kept and updated with lots of modern conveniences, including a tricked-out cook’s kitchen. It also has an old, narrow, steep stairway to the second floor, uneven floorboards, creaking banisters, low ceilings, and bells on the porch that move in the wind. This is a little strange, I know, but this house wrapped its arms around me immediately. We’ve stayed in lots of rental places, but this is a unique feeling, as if I could just stay forever. I imagine there are ghosts in the evening, and I say, welcome, sit by me, tell me your stories.

We are walking every day, and finding lobsters to eat, and chatting with the

locals when we can. We visited a local monastery, and found paths along the harbor that offered stunning seaside views. At the house, I can sit out back and read my books or do a crossword puzzle. The main tourist area is mobbed, and was crazy busy over the Fourth, but in general, the vibe is laid back.0 Yesterday we booked a day sailing trip. The ocean was rolling as we passed the Bush compound known as Walker’s Point. The Texas flag was flying under the American flag, which everyone here knows means the former president is in residence. Seals were bobbing just off the rocks.

It looked picture-perfect, and it was — and, like a picture, it was all surface.

Unbidden, intrusive thoughts rumbled through my head, like the problems of 43’s presidency, and his wars, and the misery of today’s politics, just an iPhone notification away. The world is always there, even on holiday. Even in a glorious moment.

We know we are lucky to have this getaway in a place that feels safe and close to nature and accessible to various kids and grandkids who may show up along

the way. In the kids department, all the plans have changed many times due to Covid and Covid and Covid, as one after the other got sick and had to rebook. We roll with the changes; this is the lesson of the pandemic.

I confess to complicated feelings about the dozens of large, ornate historic summer “cottages” owned by people who come to Kennebunkport for brief stays in the hot weather. Like Newport. Like the Hamptons. Like the reverse in Palm Beach and Palm Springs. Some owners come for only a week or two. These outsized homes sit on vast parcels of land along the shore.

They require enormous upkeep.

These Kennebunkport beauties are a slice of history; some estates are owned by families who built them more than 100 years ago.

We tourists have a role to play. We bring cash, but some bring trash. I know we are outsiders looking in, and we try to behave ourselves; it is our good fortune to visit this community for a time.

The weather has been grand for a state that is notorious for foul, wet, chilly days, even in summer (which is said to be one week in July). It has been in the 70s and sunny, with a side of lobstah.

Don’t let shark mania ruin your summer

here are few sounds that can paint a more vivid picture than the ominous and simple theme created by composer John Williams for the 1975 film “Jaws.” If beachgoers weren’t afraid of sharks before Steven Spielberg released that thriller, they were after.

Yet despite recent attacks off Long Island beaches, sharks aren’t something we should lose sleep over. Not that we can dismiss these encounters — they are dangerous, and something we must pay attention to. The injuries, and the potential for deaths, are very real.

But at the same time, we can’t decide to cut the beach out of our summer plans with the discovery that the ocean does indeed include wildlife — and some varieties that might not take too kindly to swimmers.

Shark bites are rare. Very rare. Last year, the Florida Museum of Natural History tracked 73 unprovoked shark bites on people, with more than half of them in the United States. Nine lives were lost to sharks in unprovoked attacks worldwide, and just one here in America.

That’s in line with the past five years of data, including 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic lockdown reduced attacks significantly.

On Long Island, a shark attack was

something we’d talk about every 10 years or so, despite well over 1,000 miles of shoreline. But that has changed in recent years — and, according to experts, it will continue to change.

Christopher Paparo, who manages Stony Brook University’s Marine Sciences Center, told reporters that there are not only sharks off Long Island’s coast, but also whales and dolphins. But weren’t they always there? No, actually. The population of all three has grown dramatically in recent years — all up from virtually nonexistent in the 1960s.

That’s good news for the environment, even if it’s not so good for beachgoers. But that doesn’t mean people and sharks still can’t co-exist. It does mean much more diligence, and following some simple advice from the Florida museum, which has made sharks its focus for many years.

For example, swim with a buddy, since sharks are more likely to attack people alone in the water.

Stay close to shore, and be extra careful near sandbars or steep drop-offs, since sharks like those areas. Swim during the day, and avoid low-light hours at dawn and dusk, when sharks are typically feeding.

Don’t wear shiny jewelry, and avoid areas where there is a lot of fishing. Try not to splash too much, because sharks

can hear the sound, and might think there is food nearby.

Sure, “Jaws” and other thrillers have led us to believe that sharks can sense human blood, but there’s no evidence to support that. Still, if you do have an open cut, maybe avoid the water.

And if a shark is spotted, don’t race out of the water. Slowly and calmly make your way to the beach.

Keep in mind that with 70 or so attacks per year on average, your chances of being attacked by a shark remain extremely low. Your chance of being killed in a car accident is 1 in 84, according to the National Safety Council. Your chance of drowning is 1 in 1,134. Your chance of being struck and killed by lightning is 1 in 79,746.

The odds of being fatally wounded in an unprovoked shark attack? 1 in 3.7 million.

So grab your towel and your suntan lotion. Bring something to eat and plenty to drink. It’s summer, and the beaches are calling your name. There will always be dangers out there.

But vigilance is key.

Drive carefully. Swim with a friend. If you see threatening skies, take cover. And don’t panic if a shark shows up. Stay safe, and enjoy the water.

letters More delays for delivery of new LIRR electric cars To the Editor: The most recent announced additional delays associated with the Long Island Rail Road’s $734 million procurement of 202 new M9 electric replacement cars — a contract originally awarded in 2013 — is nothing new. When has there ever been any MTA LIRR, Metro North or NYC Transit Federal Transit Administration or locally funded commuter rail or subway car procurement completed on time, within budget and without contract change orders?

Ongoing problems with this purchase have continued for years. In 2020, the MTA’s own independent engineering consultant forecast an October 2022 completion date. The LIRR was more optimistic about meeting an earlier date. Over time, both were proven wrong. The LIRR now promises that all 202 of the cars will be delivered by September 2023.

This new 17-month delay, on top of the previous ones, will result in the completion of all deliveries three years later than promised. And who can guarantee that the

vendor will meet this latest schedule’s September 2023 date?

The oldest M3 cars scheduled to be replaced will continue in service far longer than planned before all new cars arrive and are ready for com-

muters to board. As a result, the LIRR will incur additional maintenance and operating costs to keep this outdated equipment working beyond its intended useful service life.

Instead of being retired, too many M3 cars

he right-wing majority on the Supreme Court has now issued decisions overturning abortion rights, weakening the wall of separation between church and state, limiting state and local firearm regulation, and interfering with federal Environmental Protection Agency regulation of climate-altering, coal-burning power plants.

In a concurring opinion in the anti-abortion Dobbs decision, Justice Clarence Thomas laid out the goals of the right-wing judges.

According to ALAN Thomas, “In future cases, we SINGER should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents.” The right-wing group, including the three Trump appointees, seems determined to eliminate all protection for the personal right to intimacy and privacy and fundamental legal protections. This is the world of the dystopian novels “1984” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” — steps toward dismantling democracy and human rights and imposing the justices’ religious beliefs on the rest of the population.

When similar things happen in the Islamic world, the United States is quick to denounce Sharia law.

Blue states and the federal government must find ways to skirt the Supreme Court majority. Here are some suggestions.

■ Treat guns like cars. Cars are registered and inspected annually. Drivers are tested and licensed. Just as they do with cars and trucks, states and the federal gover nment should require that all gun owners be tested and licensed and insure their weapons, with steeper costs for automatic weapons and those that will be carried concealed in public places, and the highest cost for military-style weapons. Vehicles are taxed to support road maintenance and policing. Tax gun ownership as well.

Green economy ‘is still decades away’ To the Editor: To the surprise of many, the European Parliament gave final approval on July 6 to a new policy that will allow some nuclear and natural gas energy projects to qualify as “green” for access to low-interest loans and some state subsidies. The new law will include qualifying projects on the EU’s list of environmentally sustainable economic activities, those that

■ To protect access to abortion for women living in states with Republican-controlled governments, we need to learn lessons from the anti-slavery campaigns of the 19th century. Underground railroads can take women to states and cities where health services, including abortions, will be provided free of cost. Constitutionally, at least as of now, states cannot charge women or health providers with crimes that did not occur under their jurisdiction.

ncluding ‘underground railroads’ to take women to states where abortion is legal.

■ Treat air pollution like any other toxic waste. If states and companies do not stop pollution from coal-fired power plants and the EPA is prevented from regulating them, the federal government should just order them shut down as health risks. If that doesn’t work, charge them for using the air as a waste dump. Meanwhile, neighboring states should sue the state governments and companies in bordering states for damaging their environments, and bill them for the medical expenses incurred by their citizens.

Individuals can also join in class-

action suits. This has worked against other toxic polluters. Flooded communities can flood the courts, charging polluters with adding to destructive climate change.

Public and private postal services, email, social media and the Internet can all be used to flood red states with the information women need to know.

Underground railroads will also have to work in reverse, sending pregnancy-ending medication, and possibly even birth control, into states that deny women reproductive freedom. Expect red states to pass new legislation outlawing all of these behaviors. Blue state governments will need to ignore these laws and protect their citizens from red state legal action, including refusing to extradite them.

Shoring up the wall of separation

between church and state will be difficult and meet local resistance, but it isn’t impossible. The Supreme Court ruled that government funds and programs provided to secular private schools cannot be denied to religious schools. The best way to block government subsidies of religious schools is to eliminate such subsidies, as well as vouchers, tuition remission, tax breaks, and direct aid, to all private schools.

This would also put a stop to the promotion of private schools to avoid school integration and the underfunding of public education.

Another strategy is to require that any schools that accept public funds fully comply with all civil rights diversity, equity and inclusion requirements, including the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community.

It will not be easy to counter the rightwing, ideological Supreme Court majority that is attemting to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, but strategies like these can be employed until we have a new Supreme Court.

will both help solve Europe’s current energy crisis and help meet its energy targets for 2030.

Apparently the politically correct “narrative” of being anti-tech is more important than scientific fact when it comes to nuclear power and fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, the U.S., the world’s most advanced country, has built neither a nuclear reactor nor a new oil refinery in over 50 years! Reality is finally setting in Europe as the fantasy of going totally green meets reality.

Without oil/gas, how do we power tens of thousands of commercial trucks, container ships, non-electric railroad lines, airplanes, helicopters, farm equipment?

How do we produce fertilizer, insecticides, lubricants, plastics, many chemicals and even clothing materials? The fact is, a totally green, renewable economy is still decades away. now if only the environmentalists and this administration would finally admit the truth and adjust to the reality of our current situation. We should and must follow the pragmatic leadership of the EU and seriously rethink our national energy policies.
