Woodward Center prepares for the future

THE STAFF OF the Woodward Children’s Center in Freeport will gather early next year to discuss strategies that will help further expand the school’s educational program into the 21st century. Much of the focus will be on using technology — like better remote learning — in the classroom.

Change is coming to the Woodward Children’s Center.

It’s been the place to educate children with exceptional needs since the early 1950s, but the time has come for the West Merrick Road school to move into the 21st century. And it will all come down to SWOT. That is, a focus on strength, weakness, opportunity and threats — the very things Woodward board president Marcia Caton says could impact the school’s future in both good and bad ways.

Planning for this new SWOT approach starts in January, Caton said, beginning with an assessment on what the school already is doing well at, and what might be improved. It’s a chance to determine the best way for students to thrive through strength and weakness, where threats are anything outside the school that might affect Woodward’s students.

“With the strategic plan, we will have members from the board, members from the Woodward community, the staff, teachers, and of course CONTINUED ON PAGE 4

Women’s group marks Red and Gold with scholarships

By MOHAMED FARGHALY mfarghaly@liherald.com

A local professional education sorority is seeing red. And gold.

It’s the 65th anniversary of Beta Omicron, one of more than a hundred chapters of the National Sorority of Phi Delta Kappa. And the organization of teachers, principals, day care providers and librarians did what they enjoyed most: award scholarships to deserving college-bound students.

All of it was part of the sorority’s 21st annual Red and Gold Scholarship Gala held earlier this month at Verdi’s in

Westbury. Beta Omicron’s colors were represented at the event that also honored community leaders like Hempstead town councilwoman Dorothy Goosby.

“The number 21 reminds us to be aware of the changes taking place around us,” said Margarette Galloway, Phi Delta Kappa’s national president. “The latter part of the 21st century has undoubtedly been a time of sweeping change. The number 65 signifies major changes. This is representative of the affirmative, transformational change resulting from Beta Omicron chapter’s influence on the community around you for the past 65 years.”

Beta Omicron was chartered in 1957, but Phi Delta Kappa itself dates back to 1923 when eight African-American women set out to create a network of teachers promoting the best principles of education.

“Our primary goal is to foster a spirit of sisterhood among educators, as well as to focus on our youth,” said Tiffany Ladson-Lang, Phi Delta Kappa’s regional representative. “The primaries of our organization are youth education and service.”

Councilwoman Goosby was honored for her ef forts to strengthen her community.

“She’s a trailblazer in our

community,” said Shelley Brazley, her legislative aide. “She’s made history. This organization is so very dear to her heart.”

Goosby filed a class-action suit against the Town of Hempstead in the 1980s claiming the vote-at-large system used to select council members discriminated against minority communities. A federal judge sided

with Goosby in 1997, and after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up the case, new elections were held for all-seats using a district method in 2000.

By then, Goosby was elected to the town board herself.

Although her career before public service focused on her role as CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

HERALD SCHOOLS Peer-to-Peer conflict resolution in Freeport school

T

he J.W. Dodd Middle School peer mediation team, composed of 34 students, finished 16 hours of professional training with Gregg Scheiner of EAC Network and took an oath on Nov. 3 in the Dodd library.

The Honorable Anthony W. Paradiso presided over the ceremony, while Assistant Principal Earl Mitchell commended the children for their leadership abilities.

The purpose of the Peer Mediation Program is to assist student volunteers in developing connections and communication skills that will carry over into other aspects of their lives.

This team has learned to listen without taking sides and to assist their peers in finding a solution and reaching an agreement as peer mediators.

Peer mediation is a type of conflict resolution in which trained students assist their classmates in talking out and resolving interpersonal issues under adult supervision. Student mediators do not take sides or make choices for their classmates; instead, they assist them in developing their own conflict resolution strategies. Dodd students are on call to mediate student problems in groups, and they are looking forward to working together to settle everyday disagreements.

Sparkle on Stage embraces the seasonal change in Freeport to welcome all

F

reeport’s own youth theater group, Sparkle on Stage has relocated to the Nautical Mile and wants everyone to know that there is still much to do even in the winter.

Sparkle on Stage, Inc., the young theatrical group formed by Freeport resident Workman years ago, had been looking for a permanent home for several years.

They moved into their new home at 195 Woodcleft Avenue in May and renovated it to include an indoor theater with dressing rooms and practice space.

Sparkle on Stage is holding their first annual ‘Winterfest’ to commemorate their first winter on the Nautical Mile, with activities taking place every weekend beginning late ROBYN November and into the new WORKMAN year.

Founder, “Since this is Sparkle on Stage Sparkle on Stage’s first year down on the mile, we wanted to bring the mile alive,” Sparkle on Stage founder, Robyn Workman said, “We wanted to let the communities know that it’s not just a summer location, that there are events going on down here and that they could come and visit.”

Beginning with Thanksgiving weekend, the organization will host holiday events every weekend. Musical performances by various artists, such as members of the national choir singing alongside guest artists, a performance with a magician, their personal interpretation of the ‘Nutcracker,’ and many more themed events, are available throughout the month.

Their Nutcracker will be a reinterpretation of the classical theatrical experience, with a blend of tunes from many genres and specialized choreography.

The facility will also hold arts and crafts workshops where members of the public may come down and paint whatever they want on a canvas.

Sparkle on Stage has also collaborated with nearby local establishments such as Pip’s Ice Cream Parlour to provide ice cream during their events and BrewSA Brewing Company to serve alcohol at their establishment across the street.

SPARKLE ON STAGE put on their summer performance of ‘Frances and the Sea’ earlier this year, which was the first production they were able to rehearse and perform on their new stage.

SPARKLE ON STAGE, located at 195 Woodcleft Avenue on the Nautical Mile, will feature a variety of holiday themed events throughout the winter during their first annual ‘Winterfest.’ and exhibits available to the public. The venue is used by both casual and professional participants, and any member of the community can find an outlet for their creativity. Their objective is to provide affordable accommodations for both performers and audiences. Sparkle on Stage produces musical, cultural, and educational programming that embraces and reflects Long Island’s diversity.

Children and adults alike can take part in their mentorship programs, career-building activities, and obtain artistic experiences, such as training in

backstage and back-office professions like lighting, audio-visual, costume and set design, ticket sales, bookkeeping, marketing, and publicity.

Workman, a performer and performance instructor with a 30-year career, founded the youth theater organization when the pandemic thwarted her efforts to put together a board to assist her create a cultural arts center in Freeport.

She has planned many occasions for her group to showcase their talents and skills during the winter, with more to come.

THE THEATRICAL GROUP organizes a wide range of activities throughout the year, such as their monthly ‘Drag Queen Bingo Night.’

“I want people to know, not just from Freeport but also from Baldwin and Oceanside that there is a lot of stuff to do down here in the winter, it should not be an area that is just popular in the summer,” Workman said.

MARCIA CATON

board president, Woodward Children’s Center ders. Its mission is to develop social and emotional skills needed to overcome life’s obstacles while also providing specialized and personalized education.

“We serve children with emotional challenges from kindergarten to age 21,” Greg Ingino, Woodward’s executive director who started at the school as a special education teacher more than 40 years ago.

“We also serve children on the autistic spectrum, and we’re only one of very few accredited trauma schools in the New York area.”

Woodward was founded in 1951 by Freeport’s Gertrude Berman, who built a school initially named after her. It was later rebranded to honor Dr. Luther Woodward, a well-known specialist with the state mental health department, who had been supportive of Ber man’s early

attempts to launch the institution.

Students at Woodward get a typical academic education with the chance to pursue a Regent’s diploma. The school also offers a vocational program.

There are also several special area teachers, mental health counselors, and consulting psychologists at the school.

Their staff additionally includes social workers and therapists who specialize in subjects ranging from music to dance.

Whatever changes are ultimately decided, paying for all of it will need a little help from lawmakers like state Sen. Kevin Thomas. The legislator visited Woodward for the first time last month to meet with educators and administrators.

“We’re a very unique program, because we have not only the academics, but the clinical component as well,” Ingino said. “We’re very successful in working with the students that we serve.

(Thomas) was extremely impressed with the diversification of the program, and the kids made posters welcoming him to the school.”

The center’s plan is to create a more unified voice come January so it can better develop these new programs for the coming year.

“With whatever decision we come up with regarding goals, we’re going to have periodic reviews,” Caton said. “So, it will be constantly managed and improved upon.”

That’s right, girls can play hockey, too Islanders’ elite travel program celebrates Title IX

By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

I

t’s just 37 words long, but its impact has lasted 50 years and counting.

The civil rights law known as Title IX opened the doors to legal equality for women in educational institutions — including sports — and was celebrated at Garden City’s Cradle of Aviation last week when more than 100 girl ice hockey players and their parents gathered to talk about how this federal legislation afforded these girls the opportunity to play a sport that has typically been male-dominated.

They are members of the New York Islanders Girls Elite Hockey program run at the Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow — the same facility used by the cherished local NHL squad. The teams have girls ranging in ages from 8 to 19,and was started in 2016 by Alexis Moed, the general manager of the Premier Hockey Federation’s Connecticut Whale.

“It was just my feeling that things weren’t being done the best way that they could be, or the way that was the most beneficial to the players,” Moed said. “So, I took all of my experiences and what I went through, and taking everything that I didn’t have growing up, and putting it together for them in the program.”

The young players come from all over Long Island. Some started with Girls Elite Hockey, while others might have first dropped pucks in boys’ leagues before eventually finding themselves with the newer league. Either way, the consensus is clear — they like where they are, and they like having their own league.

Debbie Curry started playing with an Oyster Bay town league before joining a travel hockey team with the Long Island Sharks in New Hyde Park. But after three years playing with them, the 12-year-old goalie from Seaford was let go.

“She was so dedicated, and we were very involved,” her dad, Keith Curry said. “And then she got cut along with most of the other girls on the team.”

Moving Debbie to Girls Elite Hockey was the best thing to happen to her, said her mom, Christie.

“She always had a target (on) her for being a girl in a boy sport,” Christie said.

“Here she can be recognized and have a chance to go somewhere with hockey in the future because they’re giving the girls a chance to shine. I’ve never seen her so happy, and she can just be herself.”

Debbie wants to eventually go pro, and feels like this Islanders group gives her that chance because “they accepted me much quicker than the boys did.”

Being accepted and feeling more comfortable were common themes.

“I felt welcome on the boys’ teams I played with, but there were definitely some boys who would tell me that they were better than me because I was a girl,” said Emily Stein, a 12-year-old from Bellmore. “It’s so much better with girls because you feel more comfortable. And

it’s like a second family.”

Adrianna Morabito says she can compete at the same level as boys, but camaraderie is what led the 12-year-old Wantagh player to the all-girls league.

“At any other organization, I could’ve been at 12U and quit because I didn’t like anyone on my team,” she said. “But because I was here, the friendships have been really good, and they’ve made me a much better player.”

Last week’s panel, moderated by Jamie Hersch of the NHL Network, presented perspectives of Title IX’s impact from women in different fields. Among those joining Hersch were Girls Elite Hockey founder Moed along with UBS Arena human resources head Lea Del Rosario, Dr. Amy West from Northwell Health Orthopedic Institute in New Hyde Park, and Kelly Nash, the head coach of Long Island University’s women’s ice

There were a number of unhappy people attending last week’s meeting in Mineola of the committee in charge of creating districting maps for the Nassau County Legislature. A final decision was expected as early as this week.

GOP, Dems can’t agree on district maps As comments close, voters beg for more time to decide

By KarINa KOVaC

what the people are saying

kkovac@liherald.com

Nassau County Republicans and Democrats remained far apart when it comes to redistricting the county legislature. And as a final map is expected to be released this week — if not already — some who gathered to see drafts proposals in Mineola seemed displeased, too.

Redistricting happens once every decade, coinciding with the census, and happening at all levels of government. Battles raged earlier this year over statewide maps determining congressional districts and state officeholders. And it was no different last week when the public had a chance to speak out about the maps used to determine who will represent them in the county legislature.

It was, of course, a meeting that also included claims of “gerrymandering,” from people like SUNY Binghamton political science professor Daniel Magleby, who defined the term as districting that typically gives one political party “an unfair advantage by diluting opposition’s voting strength.”

“This is a textbook, example of what a packing gerrymander looks like,” Magleby said of the maps, comparing them to the last time the county redistricted, and what he described as an “extreme partisan gerrymander and an outlier relative to this ensemble of maps.

“Both maps — the 2013 map and the Nov. 10 Republican proposal — show patterns of systematic bias against Democratic voters in ways that underweighs their influence on elections in this county.”

Even Francis Moroney, chair of the committee in charge of reviewing the maps, agreed with Magleby.

“We all know that their proposal is blatantly illegal,” he said. “So it is not surprising that they are trying to shield the map from public view, and it made it impossible for the public to understand why they are proposing what they are proposing. We cannot ignore the fact that the severe seg-

POlITICal sCIeNCe PrOfessOr Daniel Magleby tells a Nassau County Legislature redistricting committee last week its maps from both Democrats and Republicans show clear gerrymandering. Final maps determining who will represent who at the county level are expected as early as this week. regation and discrimination in Nassau County is a result of gerrymandered maps.”

But if there was a lack of transparency on the Republican side, it wasn’t much different than what was happening on the Democratic side, said committee member Peter Bee. “They ambush you,” he said. “That’s their job. They’re trying to paint a picture that doesn’t exist. From our point of view, a Democratically controlled Assembly, a Democratically controlled Senate, to the Democratic governor enacted a law that said redistricting shall be done in a particular manner.”

The main goal, Bee explained, is “one person, one vote,” that is that “each legislator should represent roughly the same number of people.”

“I think our map has a smaller deviation in population than does the Democratic map,” Bee said. “The state law also says that you are not to deny racial or language minority groups their participation in politics. We do not think that our mapping has done so.”

But each map has its flaws, according to

civil rights lawyer Frederick Brewington, describing those problems with terms like “stacking,” “packing” and “cracking,” which he says creates an unequal balance of power.

“It’s very important for you to understand that the reason why so many people are here, there is no hope that you’re going to do the right thing,” Brewington said.

“But there is hope that we can take this to a place where they will say that you did them wrong. And as a result, we made the record for you, so you can’t say you weren’t warned.”

Brewington implored the committee to think of voters when designing the maps, while also looking inward.

“When you take a look at your own map, please, everybody, look at it in the mirror,” he said. “Look at yourself and evaluate whether or not am I, as a human being with authority and power, will hand this map over to the legislature so that they can do their dirty work?

“And if that’s your vote, shame on you.

But God bless.”

The committee was expected to finalize its maps on Monday.

Proposed redistricting maps for the Nassau County Legislature has drawn mixed reactions from some of the people it would represent.

“Possible 10,000 simulated maps using the gold standards method known as ensemble it was found to be more extremely gerrymandered in favor of Republicans that all of the maps run methodology recognized by the courts. The mapmaker then attempted to debunk the methodology by saying that it doesn’t take public comment into consideration, but neither do his maps. When asked if he believes a map would comply with the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, he said, ‘I don’t have to apply the law to this map.’”

–Arlo Fleischer, Nassau County Civil Liberties Union organizer

“Last time I spoke to this body, I asked you to redistrict by the interest of the people, not party. It seems that that has gone by the wayside.

You’re dividing communities. You’re diluting our community representation and our ability to get anything done for our community. I look to our neighbor over in South Hempstead — they’re even smaller than us, and they are three parts. That’s crazy. How you divided up Freeport? Oh my gosh, crazy. I know firsthand the difficulty of trying to get something done when you are divided up.”

The main enTryway into the Maurice A. Deane School of Law at Hofstra University is now known as Abrams Fensterman Lobby after the Lake Success-based firm that has provided money and instruction at the school. Joining in the dedication were, from left, Abrams Fensterman managing partner Howard Fensterman, Hofstra Law dean Gail Prudenti, and Abrams Fensterman executive partner Robert Abrams. were also used to create new interdisciplinary programs within Hofstra’s graduate schools.

The current campaign has been underway the last four years and has

been credited with increasing support to more than 200 named scholarships and fellowships. That includes the Dean’s Legal Tech Fellowship Program for law and engineering students to work on arti-

ficial intelligence projects within the school’s research lab while adding five new legal tech courses to the curriculum.

The campaign also supported faculty scholarship and hiring, and adapted to virtual and hybrid teaching during the coronavirus pandemic with upgraded “lecture capture” technology in newly modernized classrooms with a new student lounge and public event spaces.

Attorneys from Abrams Fensterman — including more than two-dozen Hofstra Law alum — routinely serve as adjunct professors and guest speakers.

They also participate in the law school’s mentorship programs and mock interview events.

The firm was founded in 2000 and has offices in Brooklyn, White Plains, Albany and Rochester.

The Abrams Fensterman Lobby is a multifunction space where students study, collaborate, and gather for law school receptions and communityfocused events.

“We are grateful for visionaries like Howard Fensterman, and everyone at Abrams Fensterman for their investment in Hofstra Law and their commitment to mentoring, training and hiring our students,” said Gail Prudenti, dean of Hofstra Law, in a release. “Their support ensures these efforts will continue to grow far into the future.”

FREEPORT HERALD — November 24, 2022

For 16 years, the law firm provided money to support students at Hofstra University’s Maurice A. Deane School of Law. And now the lobby there will be named after the firm.

The dedication of the new Abrams Fensterman Lobby is part of Hofstra Law’s Vision 2020 campaign. Samuel Ferrara, executive partner at the Lake Success-based firm, was a member of the campaign’s leadership board.

“We as a firm are truly honored by this recognition from Hofstra Law,” said Howard Fensterman, the firm’s managing partner, in a release. “We are proudly committed to continuing our support of the law school and their talented and dedicated students.”

The first law school campaign was successfully completed more than 22 years ago — around the same time Abrams Fensterman was founded, and has since raised nearly $22 million, surpassing its initial goals of $12.5 million, and even its “stretch” goal of $17.5 million. The campaign was created as part of the law school’s 50th anniversary.

Funds were raised through alumni, friends, organizations, faculty and staff members. Hofstra also hosted a hall of fame and 50th anniversary celebration that supported the campaign.

Money is used to fund recruitment efforts as well as provide scholarships while expanding cutting-edge programs in areas such as legal technology. Funds

The Doo Wop Project begins at the beginning: tracing the evolution of Doo Wop from the classic sound of five guys singing harmonies on a street corner to the biggest hits on the radio today. Featuring stars from Broadway hits ‘Jersey Boys,’ ‘Motown: The Musical’ and ‘A Bronx Tale,’ The Doo Wop Project brings unparalleled authenticity of sound and vocal excellence to recreate — and in some cases entirely reimagine — the greatest music in American pop and rock history.

It’s a musical journey featuring foundational tunes from the Crests, Belmonts and Flamingos through the vocal artistry of Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, and The Four Seasons all the way to ‘DooWopified’ versions of modern hits from Michael Jackson, Jason Mraz, Maroon 5, and Sam Smith.

Straight No Chaser It’s been 25 years since Straight No Chaser introduced their signature style of a cappella to the world.

These gents are neither strait-laced nor straight-faced, but neither are they vaudeville-style kitsch.

Woodmere

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Perfect Center Hall Colonial

T

his perfect center hall colonial is now available in desirable Old Woodmere. It features a large eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and living room with wood burning fireplace. Step inside and see the beautiful cozy yet spacious den with a fireplace. The basement has plenty of room with lovely, high ceilings. Oak wood floors flood the house and there is plenty of space for storage and a plethora of closets. Find the detached two-car garage along a long driveway that leads to an inviting backyard. All this comes together on a 59X117 size lot that catches the eye.

What’s the best way to clear the air?

Q. I saw an article in a magazine about how I may be able to add air and water purifiers in my office to minimize sickness and infections. Is this for real? Can air purifiers limit things like Covid, and does it pay to put in a full water purifier instead of just having a bottled-water cooler station, even in my home or in my office (for my employees)?

A. There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding about levels of purification and, depending on the source of the information, like an advertisement instead of research reports, the facts are unclear. I couldn’t tell anyone, definitively, what works best, or even the specifics as to why, only that there are systems that are required and units that do onte eeper have benefits for employers and homeowners, according to industry reports.

For example, it almost always comes up during the design phase of offices and retail spaces that the owner wants to put in a bottled-water cooler instead of a drinking fountain, but the plumbing code, which is a law, states that two drinking fountains or a dual unit, the high and low kind, are required to be installed. (The reason for the low drinking fountain is to avoid discrimination, along with many other regulations, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed into federal law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990.) A bottle station is nice to have but not required.

Water purification will be a healthy solution for your employees and family, since it removes chlorine, sediments and multiple trace minerals. There are many different types of purifiers on the market. For commercial purposes, consider a cartridge-type purifier specific to your commercial space, and for a residence, a whole-house system such as the ones from PurifiedSolutions.net, which use a seven-stage reverse-osmosis process. Just remember, these systems all require the replacement of filters, so factor in replacement costs so you aren’t surprised later.

As for the bigger question, air purification, it is a much broader and more questionable issue, since different systems filter air in different ways, and even though advertisements tout all the wonderful particulates that can be removed, virus particles aren’t necessarily one of them. Smoke from cigarettes and dust have a much larger mass, and are more easily removed with high-efficiency particulate air, or HEPA, filters than bacterial or viral-laden particles.

Even though microscopic-sized allergens can be removed, unless they are treated with either damaging light or chemical containment, just catching the allergens doesn’t necessarily get rid of them. Make sure you find out what the filtration unit will do from an independent testing source report before spending the money on one.

Recent studies do show the workplace benefits for having enhanced ventilation and filtration. Some 90 percent of maintenance costs are for keeping people productive at work, increasing profits by reducing infection, sickness and missed days by employees.

Choose systems wisely and it will benefit you. Good luck!

ike most people, I don’t like Trump. I’ve disdained him ever since then-developer Donald demanded drastic concessions at my beloved Jones Beach State Park so he could build a catering hall at the main mall to make more big bucks. He revealed an unappealing, obnoxious acquisitiveness.

It was all about his deal, with a disregard for the good and welfare of generations of us lesser mortals.

Worse, he wanted residents and state officials to believe he was doing us all JOHN a favor, but his was O’CONNELL mendacity obvious. It took Superstorm Sandy to sweep away his avaricious plan and his oily conceit.

And yet I voted for him in 2016. His promises, the possibility of gaining originalist Supreme Court nominees and his declared support of conservative causes were consistent with my social, cultural and political preferences. We Trump voters realized it would take an arrogant bully to barge through the rock-solid bureaucracy that Washington had become. He’d be our bully, as it were.

And besides, as insufferable as I found

I

Trump’s personality, I had absolutely zero doubt about how duplicitous and deceitful Hillary Clinton was. Trump was openly, shamelessly vain. Clinton was a backstabbing, secretive, supercilious, lying, characterless cypher. I could trust him to act to benefit my country as long as it also served himself. I couldn’t trust her (and her malign cabal) with anything, least of all my country. And more important, I opposed all of the national policies she embraced.

Now he’s running for the Republican presidential nomination in 2024. I wish it were not so. Trump is a minor-league version of literature’s classic tragic figure: a man who — while accomplishing great things — destroys himself with his own hubris.

If Trump gets the GOP nomination (and I think that’s a big if), whom the Democrats choose will be critical for the country. Obviously it shouldn’t be President Biden. If they pick a far-left version of Trump, someone like California Gov. Gavin Newsom or Biden’s useless transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, most voters, sick of liberal Democrats’ failed leadership, will gag violently and go for Trump. (Even if, again, he can’t win the popular vote, he could prevail in the Electoral College.) Can you imagine a Butti-

T

gieg-Ilhan Omar ticket vs. Trump-Kristi Noem or Trump-Nikki Haley or TrumpJoni Ernst or Trump-Winsome EarleSears? Any of those GOP teams would destroy Buttigieg-Omar.

I mean, really, look at how unappealing the Democrats’ presidential and vice-presidential bench is: Kamala Harris, Adam Schiff, AOC, Stacey Abrams, John Fetterman, Cory Booker, Hillary, Rashida Tlaib, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Kirsten Gillibrand (New York’s invisible senator), Amy Klobuchar, Beto O’Rourke, Bill de Blasio and others who are so light they defy gravity. Puhleeze! How about the quintessentially Democratic bicoastal, affirmative-equity pairing, Harris-Hochul?

Non-radical Americans, i.e., almost all of us, want someone smart, articulate and tough who’ll try to keep us out of wars, reduce inflation, faithfully and fairly execute the laws, defend the Constitution, support the police, keep taxes as low as possible, respect and care for our veterans, spend prudently, regulate only when required, maintain a strong national defense, trade well but with a sharp eye on national security, curb the domestic abuses of the so-called intelligence community, and put a hard stop on our dangerously wide-open southern border.

rump is a minorleague version of literature’s classic tragic figure.

Someone who salutes America’s greatness. That definitely won’t be the Democrats’ platform in 2024. It certainly will be the GOP’s agenda, and Trump would sell it. He’s usually good at selling things (his Jones Beach fiasco notwithstanding). I mean, he sold the Abraham Accords, a peace treaty among Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, for heaven’s sake.

We will be voting again in 24 months (unless I missed something and early voting starts next week). Actually, the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary are in January 2024. No one knows what will happen in the world between now and then. Will Biden finish his term?

Will Kamala visit the wizard in Oz and get what she needs? How disastrous will Trump’s self-inflicted stumbles on the campaign trail be? Will better, brighter lights shine in either party?

For newsies like me, it will be a fascinating and important two years. I hope everyone, young folks particularly, find serious, un-opinionated journalism and read and think critically about all the politics. We must use these two years to brush up on our civics studies and see how America is supposed to work. Then learn how it really works, and vote to try to make it better than that.

Flying the not-so-friendly skies

wrote to Pete Buttigieg this week. I thought that the head of the U.S. Department of Transportation should know what’s up.

Last week, Secretary Buttigieg announced some $600 million in fines against the airlines for bad behavior during the continuing pandemic.

It’s a start.

Apparently, the airlines took billions of bailout dollars, and failed to pass on the goodwill or the big bucks to their customers. In fact, they canceled or delayed oodles of flights and didn’t RANDI refund the fees to KREISS passengers. Sometimes — and this took chutzpah — they rebooked folks on other flights without finding out whether those new bookings were good for the travelers.

I hate to pick on JetBlue, but I must, because that’s the only airline I’ve flown recently.

But let’s back up the plane. My bias is that my airline experience began when flying was a special treat. When we went

on our wedding trip in 1968, we flew Eastern Airlines to Bermuda. I wore a matching coat and dress, white gloves, high heels and a hat. The “stewardesses” wore perky outfits and heels and little chapeaus, and they were all super-attractive and into providing excellent service to the customers.

Seen through today’s lens, it was sexist and white and stiffly formal. We enjoyed tasty little meals served on individual trays, even in coach, and the crew happily did all the heavy lifting. We have fallen out of the sky, in terms of standards for passengers and crew.

Two weeks ago, I flew JetBlue back and forth from New York to Florida. While I was waiting for my flight, an announcer at the gate said that the flight before mine, on the same route, would be turbulent, passengers should expect to stay seated, and there would be no bathroom breaks. This is bad, I thought. I’m about to get on this flying tube to ride 1,500 miles at 600 mph at 36,000 feet into a hurricane. I nearly bolted, but I talked myself down.

Turns out, we were on time, and there were no violent outbursts by passengers or inappropriate behavior by crew members.

O

But that’s a low bar, right? The crews are nice enough, which isn’t nice enough.

No crew member offers a hand to help place a suitcase in the overhead bin. Then they try to sell you stuff. You get your drink when the wagon rolls by, and a dismal choice of snacks. Heaven help us, the Terra Blue potato chips, basically the most compelling reason to fly JetBlue, are gone.

Supply chain issues? The airlines got a gazillion dollars from the government.

Open a damn potato chip factory!

My real and serious issue is with the JetBlue website and its reservation process.

In recent months, the website has been buggy. The fees for “extras,” like being able to bring a carry-on in “basic blue,” are excessive.

When I needed to change my flight on the return, it took two hours online to book the change and pay for a seat. Then I got a message that I had the flight but no seat. I tried to call. It was a 90-minute wait to speak to a person, and I was informed that booking or changing or canceling a flight on the phone with a human being would cost me $25.

ne slight after another led me to drop a line to Secretary Buttigieg.

That’s when I decided to write to Buttigieg.

First, no customer should have to wait 90 minutes to speak to an agent. If they can’t run the airline better than that, with all the money they got from us, they should shut down and turn the planes into affordable housing.

Second, how dare they charge $25 to speak to someone to book a flight? I know many people, especially older folks, who don’t use computers. They don’t know how to book a flight online. They need to talk to a real person, and they can’t wait 90 minutes on the phone. This is unfair to fliers who don’t have the necessary technology skills. Why should they be penalized with a $25 fee for what should be a basic service to a paying customer?

Years ago, I wrote to JetBlue in the name of my dog, requesting frequent flier points for her even though she traveled under the seat. They had a sense of humor. They said they couldn’t offer points, but they did give Zoe and me a free flight. Just like that. Goodwill.

JetBlue needs to drop the $25 phone fee, hire enough agents to reduce the phone wait time, and please, please, bring back the Terra Blues.

50 years of a better world thanks to Title IX

H

e’s a man you’ve likely never heard of. The son of an Indiana State University basketball coach who excelled in sports himself — primarily as a boxer and a collegiate baseball player — Birch Bayh was sworn in as a U.S. senator from his home state on Jan. 3, 1963.

Bayh spent 18 years in that office, becoming the only non-Founding Father to author two amendments to the U.S. Constitution: the 25th Amendment, handling presidential succession, and the 26th, which lowered the federal voting age to 18.

But it was his days playing sports that occupied the senator’s mind. Although the Civil Rights Act of 1964 tackled all kinds of discrimination when it came to employment and public accommodation, it bothered Bayh that the bill failed to address sex discrimination at schools.

He set out to change that, crafting the 37 words that would make up what we now know as Title IX: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”

While we might see Title IX today as a law focused on sports, what Bayh and his House counterpart, U.S. Rep. Edith Green, pushed through Congress did more than that. No more could schools legally favor one gender over another in any respect, including pay and employment opportunities. If it was good enough for a man, it was good enough for a woman.

But yes, some of the most visible impacts came in the world of sports,

changing what was once a male-dominated enterprise into something that could be enjoyed by anyone. Like Elizabeth Serra, who just finished her first season with the Woodland Middle School football team in East Meadow.

Elizabeth scored 16 points as a kicker, and even broke a tie to give Woodland a final win over the Seaford Vikings. Yet being the only girl on the team didn’t faze her a bit.

“I was a little bit nervous, but then I realized what I really wanted to do,” the 13-year-old said. “I just really wanted to play football. So it didn’t really bother me that much.”

Even a few years ago, a girl kicking field goals for a football team was considered a novelty. Today it’s just another day on the gridiron. Elizabeth is far from alone.

Before Title IX, just 300,000 girls took part in high school sports, according to a report last summer by NPR. Today that number is 3.5 million. And while Title IX focuses on schools, it has a much wider reach.

Like with the New York Islanders Girls Elite Hockey program, started in 2016 by Alexis Moed, the general manager of the Connecticut Whale, a team in the womenfocused professional Premier Hockey Federation. Working with the NHL’s Islanders, the league is filled with girls ages 8 to 19, all playing on the same ice at the Northwell Health Ice Center in East Meadow as the four-time Stanley Cup champions.

The league has become a second home for Debbie Curry, a 12-year-old from Seaford, who started her hockey career on boys’ teams.

LETTERS Thanks to all who uplift and help others To the Editor: In this season of hope and gratitude, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation to all Long Islanders who give of themselves to help others here in Nassau and Suffolk counties, and beyond.

Nearly every day, Red Cross volunteers are at the scene of fires, floods and other disasters that occur all too regularly on Long Island, providing urgent assistance to those coping with loss and uncertainty. In addition to responding to local emergencies, this past year, many of my colleagues traveled far from home to offer a helping hand following wildfires in California, tornadoes and flash floods in Kentucky and, most recently, Hurricanes Ian and Nicole in Florida.

Our volunteers also work to prevent future disasters by installing free smoke alarms, providing fire

“She always had a target (on) her for being a girl in a boy sport,” Debbie’s mother, Christie, said. “Here she can be recognized and have a chance to go somewhere with hockey in the future, because they’re giving the girls a chance to shine.

“I’ve never seen her so happy, and she can just be herself.”

Title IX has helped girls come a long way, but the fight is far from over. Many schools still don’t know how to properly enforce Title IX compliance, while others have chosen to cut programs rather than expand them to include everyone. Retaliation runs rampant, and the U.S. Department of Education believes there are more areas of improvement needed, including the end of discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity or sex characteristics.

Birch Bayh died in 2019, at age 91. But he lived long enough to see the impact his 37 simple words had on the lives of millions. An impact that literally brought him to tears.

Kelly Krauskopf is an assistant general manager of the Indiana Pacers. But in 2000, she made her mark helping to bring the Indiana Fever into existence in the WNBA. They sold out their first game with 16,000 people filling the arena, and Krauskopf invited Bayh to join her on the hardwood before the tipoff.

“I said to him, ‘Look at this place. Can you believe this?’” she told the Indianapolis Star. “‘This would never have happened had it not been for you.’

“He looks at me and he has these big tears in his eyes. And he said he had no idea (Title IX) would have this kind of impact. It was just one of the coolest moments.”

assau County continues to hold Big Pharma accountable in the courts for the wave of destruction that the pharmaceutical companies’ highly addictive opioid drugs unleashed on families and children across the country, and right here in our own backyards.

On Nov. 7, the county took the first legislative step toward approving a $68.25 million settlement with Actavis LLC and Actavis Pharma Inc., Watson Laboratories Inc., Anda Inc., Teva Pharmaceutical Industries DELIA Ltd., and Teva DeRIGGI-WHITTON Pharmaceuticals USA. Once this settlement is approved by the full Legislature and County Executive Bruce Blakeman — which I anticipate will occur this month — it will supplement the $70.4 million the county has already received through various Big Pharma settlements.

Drawing from the funds now at the county’s disposal, Blakeman in mid-September announced plans to distribute $15 million per year for the next four years to agencies that offer addiction prevention, treatment or recovery services. Approxi-

mately $2.4 million per year was immediately earmarked, with the lion’s share going to Nassau University Medical Center. The remaining $12.6 million per year will be awarded to agencies that respond to a Request for Expressions of Interest that closed on Monday.

Above and beyond Blakeman’s announced plans, there is still approximately $10.4 million that has not been designated. The Teva Pharmaceutical settlement will add significantly to that sum, as will the proceeds of future settlements as additional pharmaceutical companies are held responsible for their gross negligence and complicity in this ongoing public health crisis.

While I have consistently expressed my frustration with the slow pace of allocating these funds, this influx of new resources gives us a golden opportunity to proactively plan for how we can get life-saving resources where they need to be as expeditiously as possible. My frustration is amplified by my concern for all our friends, loved ones and neighbors who are suffering at this very moment.

The life-changing work our volunteers carry out day in and day out would not be possible without our financial donors and our civic-minded partners. I want to recognize them as well for their generosity and community spirit.

Finally, I want to give special thanks to our military heroes, who sacrifice so much, and to our first responders, who work to ensure our safety and well-being.

As we enter this holiday season, let’s give special thanks to all those who make our communities stronger and safer all year long.

Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!

JOSE DOMINGUEZ CEO, American Red Cross on Long Island

Shop local this weekend To the Editor: In these difficult economic times, as a result of inflation, it is especially important to patronize your neighborhood

tions as a family to instill vigilance as they navigate the world. As parents, we do so motivated by awareness of the stark reality that addiction is an indiscriminate killer — that there is no race, creed, religion, sex or economic background that substance abuse does not impact.

In Glen Cove, I have grown close to a group of women who have established a local chapter of Families Anonymous, an organization that gives people navigating the trauma of living with a loved one suffering from addiction a safe space to meet and share their experiences, strength and hope with one another. I have introduced friends to Families Anonymous, and the warmth, support and generosity of spirit they received was truly remarkable, and life-affirming.

Several members of the organization came to the Legislature on Oct. 24 and courageously shared their stories. They have seen their children arrested and sent to prison, and fought with insurance companies to secure long-term treatment upon their release. Several have seen their loved ones come through the tempest one day at a time and achieve longterm, sustainable sobriety. Sadly, far too many have endured the unthinkable trag-

businesses. Do it not only on annual Small Business Saturday, Nov. 26, but every day of the year.

I don’t mind occasionally paying a little more to help our local stores survive.

The employees go out of their way to help find what I need. Customer service is their motto.

Independent mom-and-pop stores don’t have bulk-buying purchasing power that Amazon or large national chain stores have. The owners can’t negotiate lower prices from suppliers.

They’re at the mercy of those suppliers, especially third-party brokers, who control the prices they have to pay for merchandise. That’s why they sometimes charge a little more. But it’s worth the price to avoid the crowds and long lines at larger stores in exchange for the convenience and friendly service your neighborhood store offers.
