Comic book enthusiasts unite for cause By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

DAVID DONOVAN, FAR right, is planning to host FurnaceCon to help Bethany Congregational Church on June 4. With him above, from left, were Batman and local artists Kimball Thorpe and Bill Mitchell.
When Hurricane Sandy wrought havoc on East Rockaway, Bethany Congregational Church served as a haven for residents. Now its staff is asking the community for help. In December, the church’s furnace broke and had to be replaced. To help defray the expense, parishioner and longtime East Rockaway resident David Donovan is planning to host FurnaceCon, an event for comic book enthusiasts, on June 4, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., at
the church. The event will feature comic books, comic book writers, local artists, toys, food, collectables, cosplay and more, Donovan said. “The church always has expenses, but when you lose something like a furnace, that’s a huge expense,” Donovan said. “It’s become a bit of a movement, and we’ve gotten some contributions already. We needed to replace this furnace and people have responded, so I’m hoping we can help with FurnaceCon, which, first, is an event for the community.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 14
School officials look toward future after election season By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com
With school budgets and elections over, new members and incumbents on the Lynbrook and East Rockaway Boards of Education ponder the challenges of the comng year. Both boards will seek new superintendents after this school year.

ored. The students were among 14 who were chosen for their leadership, kindness, inclusiveness, helpfulness, work ethic, creativity, motivation, civic engagement and more. They were each lauded by Assemblywoman Judy Griffin. “Today recognizes those incredible students who stand out in their schools and communities,” Griffin said in a news release. “These students serve as role models and are an inspiration for their peers. I am so proud to give these students the New York State Assembly Student Standout Award and I look forward to seeing where it takes them.” Kilgus has been a three-sport athlete all throughout high school, earning the captain designation for the football team in his sophomore year. In addition, he is an active member of the National Honor Society due to his high grades and community service. He will attend The Ohio State University, where he plans to major in biomedical engineering. Cohen is a member of the National Honor Society and takes pride in maintaining her membership, including academic and community service standards. She said she enjoys helping others and for the last few summers and winters, she has volunteered at Camp ANCHOR, a program for people with disabilities. Cohen is also passionate about politics, and is the captain of the varsity lacrosse and soccer teams. She will attend The Ohio State University in the fall. In addition to taking a rigorous academic course load, Ventura is co-president of Chaminade’s Science Olympiad program. According to his teachers and counselors, the club’s success over the last three years is directly related to his passion and enthusiasm for the sciences. As a Boy Scout, Ventura performs small, regular acts of kindness for the benefit of the elderly and for war veterans in his community. He will attend Brown University in the fall. Quinones has consistently taken rigorous college preparatory classes through her high school career, including two Advanced Placement classes. According to her teachers, Quinones can be counted on to carry out her responsibilities and she is willing to volunteer. Aside from academics, she has been a vital member of numerous clubs, organizations, athletic teams and honor societies. She will attend Russell Sage College, where she plans on majoring in physical therapy. Connolly has twice earned the distinction of “Order of the Owl” for top grades and also being named a National Merit Program Commended Student. In addition to a rigorous academic program, he enjoys acting and last year he participated in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” on Zoom, in addition to small parts in roles in his freshman year. At Regis’s fall convocation, he was awarded the Richard P. Hayes Award for Theater, bestowed on the senior with the most outstanding performance in the dramatic arts. In the fall, Connolly will attend Williams College.
LFD members honored for life-saving efforts
LYNBROOK/EAST ROCKAWAY HERALD — May 26, 2022

Lynbrook firefighters were honored at the Nassau County Legislative Chamber in Mineola on May 7 with valor awards by the Nassau County Fire Commission for their live saving efforts on two occasions in 2021. The awards were presented by County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Chief Fire Marshal Michael Uttaro and Commission Chairman Frances DeBobes. Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach and former Lynbrook Mayor and Assemblyman Brian Curran, who was representing County Legislator William Gaylor, were also in attendance. The Silver Medal of Valor was presented to Lynbrook Chief John Donald, Chief Daniel Ambrosio, Capt. James DiGiambattista, former Capt. Scott Bien, and firefighter James Merkel for finding and saving a man from his burning basement apartment on Feb. 21, 2021. Lynbrook firefighters were called to the fire on Shipherd Avenue in Lynbrook at just after 1:30 a.m. Although the upstairs occupants fled the building, firefighters quickly learned that a man living in the basement had not come out. Fire was blowing out one of the basement windows. Assistant chiefs Donald and Ambrosio made their way down an outside basement staircase to enter the burning basement. After forcing their way inside, they found themselves in a boiler room. They forced open a second door into the apartment. Without the assistance of a hose line to knock down the fire, the chiefs worked through the heavy black smoke and fire to find the victim. They worked their way in total smoking darkness and heat and fire through a cluttered apartment, which made it difficult and slow to maneuver. They were soon joined by Truck Company’s interior team of Bien, DiGiambattista, and Merkel. Bien and Merkel made their way down a long hallway and finally found the victim on the floor of the rear kitchen He was unconscious and not breathing. They lifted the unconscious resident, but had to go through the whole burning apartment to get to the outside staircase where they came in. Bien and Merkel were soon joined by the others and all worked together to get the victim through the clutter and out of the basement. When the resident was brought up and out of the basement, he was immediately handed off to members of the department’s Emergency Medical Company, who were waiting outside to take over. Former Capt. Janice Germain began immediate CPR when she found no pulse. She was assisted by Capt. Kaitlin Curran and First Lieut. Kacie Curran. They were joined by a Northwell supervising medic and a paramedic. The team of Lynbrook’s EMS and Northwell paramedics continued CPR on the resident all the way to Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital, where ultimately, they were able to detect a pulse. The five Lynbrook firefighters who made the rescue in the basement were

awarded the Silver Medal of Honor, while the whole team of firefighters and EMS personnel were awarded the Fire Unit citation. Additionally, the Emergency Medical Company members were also awarded an additional EMS Unit citation for the saving of a life of a man on Baylis Place in Lynbrook on April 25, 2021, just after 3 a.m. Lynbrook firefighters and EMS personnel responded to a call and found a man in cardiac arrest. Assistant Chiefs Kelly, Bien and Ambrosio were first on
the scene with Lynbrook police officers. Ambrosio and Kelly immediately began CPR and rescue breaths. They were then relieved by Ger main, EMT/Lieut. Samantha Dominguez and firefighter April Swanson, who continued with the CPR. The victim received eight shocks delivered from an AED by the members. The CPR continued in the ambulance while the resident was transported to Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital, where he eventually regained a heartbeat. A member of the family later communicated to the department that the victim was recovering and said if it was not for the quick response and the early CPR and shocks, their family member would not have been saved.

For its efforts, the Lynbrook Fire Department was also presented with an EMS Unit citation. “The residents of Lynbrook should be proud to know that their volunteer firefighters and EMTs go beyond the call of duty every time they are called out for an emergency,” Kelly said. “ It’s great that the County Fire Commission recognizes our members for their life-saving efforts.”

OBITUARIES
Longtime E.R. resident Mary Jane Brezenoff dies Former East Rockaway resident Mary Jane Brezenoff died at her home in Parkville, Maryland on April 25, 2022.

the music programs in East Rockaway, and Levittown, where her grandsons were extremely active musicians. Her enthusiasm and steadfast support will be dearly missed.

Remembering fallen vets by wearing a poppy Members of Lynbrook American Legion Post 335 were at the village’s Long Island Rail Road station on Sunrise Highway to hand out poppy’s, the round red flower which became synonymous with the fallen troops during the first World War and has remained a symbol of the supreme sacrifice that military members have made in defending America’s freedom throughout the years in all wars. “The red poppy, worn on Memorial Day, is a simple way for our residents to show support to those who made the supreme sacrifice,” Post Commander
Bill Marinaccio said. “One just has to look on our own Doughboy Monument to see the residents of our own community who have made that sacrifice. While at the LIRR station, it was very nice to see even children and young adults take a poppy and make a donation to help our veterans.” Donations given for the poppy’s help support American Legion programs for veterans, military families and the community. National Poppy Day is always celebrated on the Friday before Memorial Day, and will be marked on May 27 this year.

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Annual event — featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels — takes off Saturday, May 28 By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
Alexa Wahl was just 7 when her family began attending the Bethpage Air Show. Standing on Jones Beach and staring at the sky, she would watch the planes soar past quickly and gracefully. It was from that very moment Wahl realized she wanted to be a pilot. Now 23, the Deer Park resident spent time in high school “Googling every possible profession” because she felt becoming a pilot wasn’t possible for her. Nothing excited her quite like flying. So why not? Wahl decided to go for it. With no experience and just a dream, Wahl enrolled in the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College. After four years of learning to fly, she graduated from the program last December. Wahl’s now an instructor at the center — currently the only woman in such a role — mentoring future pilots. Yet, it was Michael Canders who helped her realize her dream. A military pilot for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for more than four decades, Canders is an associate professor and the college’s aviation center director. It was ultimately up to him who the five aviation center pilots would fly in this year’s Bethpage Air Show. One of his top choices? Wahl, of course. “I was so surprised to be asked,” Wahl said. “I worked so hard, and it definitely paid off. But it still feels too good to be true.” Wahl and the other pilots from the center will open the show on Saturday, May
Want to go? The 2022 Bethpage Air Show is set for Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jones Beach is located off Meadowbrook Parkway South. Admission is free, but there is a $10 parking fee charged on-site, but is waived for those with a New York State Parks Empire Pass. This year’s show is headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, For more information, visit BethPageAirShow.com. Courtesy Alexa Wahl
ALEXA WAHL, A recent graduate of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College, will fulfill her childhood dream of flying in the Bethpage Air Show. 28 at 10 a.m., as the first group. Wahl will pilot the third plane in the line, flying a PA-28-161, otherwise known as a Piper Warrior 3. It is the same plane she trained with at points in the program, and is classified as “low-wing,” meaning it’s more stable and easier to control, making it better for new pilots to operate. Wahl will join the 44 other pilots from the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College who have flown in the air show. Her mentor, Canders, will narrate the flights at the show and talk about the program for all the viewers to hear.
For some pilots, however, this air show will not be their first rodeo in the sky. Jessy Panzer is a true air show veteran. The Colorado Springs-based pilot was introduced to planes by her father, who worked at Duncan Aviation, a privately owned business jet service provider. He died in an accident when Panzer was just 10. When she is not doing air shows, Panzer works as a corporate private jet pilot. She began flying in air shows back in 2004, and the 43-year-old has since made her way to about 15 shows a year, except
for the coronavirus-ravaged 2020 dates. Panzer has flown solo as well as in duos and trios depending on the show. This will be her second time flying at Bethpage, but her first time doing it solo. “I’ll be back in my single-seat pink airplane,” she said. Panzer said she loves doing shows because “to see everyone’s faces after I perform, especially the little girls, makes it all great.” Panzer wants those girls to leave the show saying, “If she can do it, I can do it, too.” “I am very excited to be invited back to Bethpage,” Panzer added. “All performers work so hard to practice and maintain the planes so we can wow everyone in 10 minutes. A great show is going to be put on.”

During his campaign, Lewner pushed for more education geared toward students working outside of high school instead of just college preparation “I intend to work tirelessly with my cotrustees, the PTA, the administration, the teachers and, most importantly, the parents of this district to bring about those changes,” he said.

As difficult as the pandemic was, our graduating seniors are going off to some of the most competitive colleges in the country. These results are evidence of the perseverance and efforts of both our teachers and students.” By a vote of 1,455 to 503, voters approved the $96.8 million budget for 202223, which marks a 4.28 percent increase from the 2021-22 spending plan and will see a 1.62 percent uptick to the tax levy.

After going undefeated in April, Lynbrook girls’ lacrosse carried its momentum into May and also into the Nassau Class C playoffs. The seventh-seeded Owls held visiting Friends Academy to only two first-half goals and rolled to a 15-9 victory in a firstround playoff matchup May 17 on the turf at Marion Street Elementary. Junior Mimi Berkowitz scored three early goals, junior Kaelynn O’Brien added a hat trick in the first half, and junior Sara Curley and freshman Brooke Mazzei had four goals apiece as Lynbrook won its 14th consecutive game and advanced to face defending county champion Manhasset in the quarterfinals. Manhasset won 18-8. “We have amazing chemistry and everyone contributes,” said Lynbrook junior midfielder Caityblu Cavassa, who had three assists and dominated draws. “We had a bit of a rocky start losing two close games, but I think those made us stronger and we’re on this incredible win streak.” The Owls, who finished runners-up in Conference II, haven’t lost since a 15-14 nailbiter to Bethpage on March 29. That came three days after a season-opening 17-16 defeat to eventual conference champion Seaford. “It’s been quite a ride,” Lynbrook coach Vincent Tetro said. “The girls were fired up for a home playoff game today and came out hungry.” Lynbrook defeated Friends, the No. 10 seed, three weeks earlier in a conference matchup, 19-14. Tetro said the gameplan in the rematch was to contain the Quakers’ 1-2 scoring punch of Paris Panagopoulos and Skylar Cohen, who combined for 11 goals in the April 26 meeting. “Paris is one of the best midfielders on Long Island,” Tetro said. “We wanted to make sure we had a lock on her and also double down when we needed to. I thought we did a great job, especially in the first half.” Panagopoulos, who was held in check by Lynbrook junior Tyla Vuotto, scored 70 seconds after the opening faceoff to give Friends a 1-0 lead but was kept off the

JUNIOR CAITYBLU CAVASSA had three assists and dominated draws in the Owls’ 15-9 playoff victory over Friends Academy May 17. scoreboard for the remainder on the first half. She finished with three goals; Cohen netted the other six. The Owls took command early and built a 7-1 lead in the opening 6:40, including five goals in a span of four minutes. Tetro credited Cavassa’s success on draws for allowing Lynbrook to gain momentum and keep it. “It’s what Caityblu has done throughout the year,” Tetro said. “The best way to describe her is she’s a game-changer.” Berkowitz’s third goal of the game was her 39th of the season and capped the early
onslaught which included a pair of goals from both Curley (45 goals, 26 assists) and Mazzei. O’Brien then capped a 10-goal first half with her third of the afternoon and 38th of the year. Friends goaltender Alex Poll kept the score respectable with 16 saves. “Every game has been a total team effort,” said Tetro, who noted the defensive zone efforts of senior Olivia Vuotto and freshman Gabriella Meszaros. “We have a close-knit group,” he added. “We’ve gotten contributions up and down the lineup all over the field all season.”

Ongoing track work forces more LIRR changes STAFF REPORT It’s been many long months of track work through the heart of the Long Island Rail Road. But all that construction is in the “homestretch.” Commuters will just have to endure a little more inconvenience in the meantime. During off-peak hours, at least. Weekend service between Penn Station and Huntington now operates hourly, according to new details from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with connecting service to and from Port Jefferson every two hours. Eastbound trains to Huntington depart up to 13 minutes later than what they did previously. Also getting a later start are midday weekday westbound trains on the Ronkonkoma line, by up to 25 minutes. Overnight eastbound trains will be as much as a half-hour late. Same is true for midday eastbound trains to Oyster Bay, although the 8:06 a.m., train from Jamaica to Oyster Bay will now depart a short time earlier at 7:53. “These service adjustments accommodate the final stages of work as we reach the homestretch of completing the LIRR’s most transformative projects,” said Catherine Rinaldi, the railroad’s interim president, in a release. “The schedule modifications optimize availability for crews to complete tasks while minimizing disruptions to scheduled service.” Those transfor mative endeavors
include both the $2.6 billion Main Line Expansion Project and the $11 billion East Side Access project looking to provide new service to Grand Central Terminal. The Main Line expansion is adding a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. MTA also plans to cut the 11:21 a.m., train between Farmingdale and Penn Station, as well as the 10:25 p.m., train between Penn Station and Huntington. Commuters are recommended to take the 10:37 p.m., train to Ronkonkoma, and transfer at Hicksville for the Port Jefferson-bound train. The 11:14 p.m., train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will originate in Hicksville at 12:31 a.m. Commuters are advised to take the 11:39 p.m., train from Penn Station toward Huntington to connect with this train. The 11:22 p.m., train between Huntington and Penn Station will end at Hicksville, where commuters can jump to the 11:48 p.m., train to New York City with added stops. But it’s not all cuts. MTA has added a weekday train departing Atlantic Terminal beginning at 8:22 a.m., making all stops to Jamaica. For peak trains, the 6:07 p.m., route between Atlantic Terminal and Babylon has been restored. Also, a new train departs Jamaica at 7:37 a.m., operating express to Atlantic Terminal, with connecting transfers from Hempstead, Baby-

lon, Ronkonkoma and Oyster Bay Branch trains. The 6:09 p.m., train between Penn Station and Babylon will return to its normal schedule, stopping at Rockville Centre, Baldwin and Freeport only. The 7:12 a.m., train from Huntington to Penn Station will have an added Hicksville stop at 7:29 a.m. And the 6:21 p.m., weekday train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will now depart at 6:16 p.m. And one major piece of good news for those looking to get some sun: summeronly trains on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches return beginning Memorial Day weekend.
CONTINUING CONSTRUCTION IS great news for some peak commuters, but bad news for everyone else, as Long Island Rail Road restores some service while cutting others. Summertime trains, however, return Memorial Day weekend on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches.
It’s a lot of new schedule to remember, which is why MTA officials recommend commuters depend on its TrainTime smartphone app, or by reviewing the Long Island Rail Road PDF timetables at MTA. info. The transit authority is making customer service agents available to answer questions each day using live chat through its app between 6 a.m., and 10 p.m. To get someone on the phone, dial 511, or (718) 217-5477, and simply say “representative” at the start of the prompt. Automated schedule information is available at that phone number, however, around the clock.

In 2018, Donovan turned to one of his biggest passions — comic books — to help the church by creating a HurriCon convention fundraiser to replace the gym floor. In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy nearly a decade ago, Bethany, a community fixture since 1885, opened its doors as a relief center for those in need. In the six months that people came to its gymnasium to drop off and collect donations, the floor was heavily damaged and needed repairs. With the storm spreading a mix of dirt, oil and sewage outside, people dragged it all in on their shoes as donations from the Red Cross and United Way came pouring in. Donovan has since turned HurriCon into an event each November to help the church cover the costs of operations and repairs, but with the church having an unexpected issue with its furnace, he decided to bring it back earlier this year. Donovan said at least six comic book dealers from across Long Island, Queens and the Bronx have paid for a table at the event and will offer their goods for sale. Additionally, Cosmic Comics in Baldwin FURNACECON IS SET for June 4 at Bethany donated comics to the church and Congregational Church in East Rockaway. several local artists and writers are to be in attendance, including graphic novel author Joe Ciano, who wrote “Children of the Woods,” and Kimball Thorpe, who created the comic book What: FurnaceCon character “Bean Man” with his friend, Bill Mitchell.

Concrete for a home by the water?
Q. We have always wanted to build a home from scratch, and want to plan a house that is modern, fireproof, hurricane-proof and checks all the boxes for a dream house. We have a property to build on, but realize the economy is working against us, since the cost of everything seems to be much higher than when we started our wish list. Someone we know suggested building with concrete block to save money, but the house will be near the bay, and we’re wondering whether it will survive a flood, especially since we know already that we have to have the living floor above the flood height. Ask The What do you recommend for building our home? Architect Concrete is what we’ve been seeing, but won’t that be expensive?
A. Concrete is a great choice for building in a flood zone, but not the best material system for saving money over alternate building systems and materials you could onte eeper choose from, especially for residential construction. The reason why concrete buildings are built, in general, is to meet much more stringent building laws to accommodate a larger number of people, protecting us from fire spread while being very strong and low in maintenance. The code (or written law) is in place to create safe buildings. Fire, wind and flood are very real and ominous threats. What you have typically seen in flood zone areas is first floor full foundations surrounding the garage and storage areas. Living spaces are required to be above the flood level. You have to be prepared for much more labor-intensive construction above the lowest level if you hope to build out of concrete. Concrete buildings require steel reinforcing rods — tons of them — set into configurations before the concrete is formed and poured. The concrete is generally formed from wood formwork constructed by carpenters, who must then strip the forms away from the concrete after it has set up and is curing. If this sounds expensive, consider that a wood structure, properly designed and covered in a flood-resistant membrane and cement board, can meet the same regulations for a lot less cost. This is only because one-, two- or three-story structures can still meet the requirements of current law without the excessive strength or flame resistance that larger buildings are required to have. Concrete block isn’t a better choice. It won’t resist movement like a monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete wall will. Steel wall studs covered with sheets of concrete board, finished with stucco, also stand up very well if anchored correctly, for a lot less cost. You can create the same modern look and avoid the cost of a full concrete structure if you use the wood or steel wall studs above the reinforcedconcrete lowest level. Instead of poured-concreteformed floors, consider wood floors that accommodate insulation better, resist fire and have a sprinkler system that will save the home and contents more economically as well. Good luck!

OPINIONS
y friend Mike is a gentle soul with a quick sense of humor. We met when we studied journalism at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center and worked endlessly on the school newspaper, Seawanhaka. I still see Mike once in a while, when a few of the old Seawanhaka gang get together at a diner. Mike would joke as always on those afternoons over lunch, and regale us with stories about his latest trip to Italy, where he and his JIM wife have relaBERNSTEIN tives. Our conversations also took place online. Mike has always been with us on the issues of the day — our disbelief and fear at the rise of the radical right and the demise of what was once the Republican Party, our dislike of the gun culture, our deep sympathy with the people in Ukraine, our disgust with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But after the back-to-back mass mur-
T
ders over the weekend of May 14-15, in Buffalo and Orange County, Calif., I received an unusual email from Mike. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” he began. He wrote that a cousin from Italy had been visiting, and went to a local gun range. He described the costs involved — $25 for a short “first time” course with an instructor, renting a gun for $25 per hour plus the cost of ammunition and the use of a target. He continued, apparently with some excitement, “They have all different kinds of pistols and some rifles.” His cousin had tried out a pistol, her friend had shot a rifle, and then they switched. She had urged Mike and his family visit the range. Then his note became alarming: “I’ve never fired a gun in my life,” he wrote, “but I think I may stop off at this place sometime this week and get my feet wet.” And then: “Maybe after learning how to shoot, I pick up a small but lethal handgun. I could get one legally, but it’s a huge hassle. I could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and
‘
I
buy one there. I’m just getting spooked by knowing that so many wackos in New York may have a gun.” I quickly wrote to ask if he was serious. His response was heartbreaking. “I’m serious about going to the range for some fun shooting,” he wrote. “Just for the experience. I am semi-serious about the gun.” In the back of his mind, he concluded, “I see myself shooting some a-hole who approaches me on the street asking for money.” Maybe that shouldn’t have been a surprise. America has become the gun capital of the world. In 2021, Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms, the gun industry’s second-busiest year on record. Our country has also become the mass-shooting capital of the world. The shooting in Buffalo was the 198th such incident this year. And the year isn’t half over. Mike watched the coverage of Buffalo just like the rest of us. He reads the newspapers the same as we do. But he seems to have come to different conclusions. He may, he thinks, need a gun. The rest of us old college newspaper
could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and get one there.’
guys don’t think we do. We all have different thoughts and different reasons for thinking the way we do. And that’s fine. But I can’t helping wondering what happened to the Mike I’ve known for so many years, the guy who wrote funny columns for the college newspaper and is still funny after all these years. What is it he is afraid of ? And why? Many others have the same feelings and fears, and I have the same questions for them. I have no desire to own a gun. Why do they? Why do they see the senseless killing of Black shoppers in Buffalo, worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a mass shooting in New Orleans, and think the solution is to arm themselves? The National Rifle Association has always preached that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” But the proliferation of guns has never seemed to me a solution to the proliferation of guns. Mike is a good guy who may well want a gun. The trouble is, how many other good guys are out there who feel same way? And why? Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

When the coronavirus pandemic hits home
wo Sundays ago my husband tested positive for Covid-19. He was at home on the East Coast and I was visiting grandkids on the West Coast. It was the very last night of my trip; he called to say he had a cold, so we did the Covid home test together on FaceTime. He aced it, and not in a good way. He had Covid. I had been away for a week, but was leaving at 4:30 the next morning for home. He managed on his own for 16 hours while RANDI I flew across the KREISS country and into ground zero for germs. I was super anxious all the way home, perseverating about vaccinated older people getting very sick. Dying. We have lost friends, and we have lived through all the dreadful accounts of ventilator hell. Since the beginning, we have been exceedingly careful with ourselves and others. How could this happen? Would it go well? Would I be next? After two years of hiding out and
hunkering inside and ordering in meals and missing family and friends, Covid still found us. After tracking the first available vaccines like bloodhounds and traveling two hours each way to get our jabs, Covid still found us. In our 54 years together, we’ve been through some stuff. Now my husband and I needed to get him through a global pandemic that has already killed 1 million Americans. I know how to be a good nurse, but there’s sometimes a mash-up among the head and the heart and the sense of humor. I can take blood pressure and use an oximeter and make chicken soup and basically devote my day to hydrating the patient. I also can worry myself sick with all the what-ifs. I can also laugh at the absurd. I developed my own prescription for loving care laced with a bit of dark humor. In the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so I was all in. No joking at all. As he improved, however, and when he started asking for seconds of dessert, and fluffed pillows, my inner Nurse Ratched
I
emerged. We set him up in our bedroom, and I moved into another room. Our rule was that, with a mask, he could come out for meals at a table in our den. I would put his food out and go back to the kitchen, which was my space. Initially he was grateful for every morsel of food and gesture of kindness. As the days moved along, he suggested I had overcooked his eggs and handed him the wrong salad dressing. You’re so right. This. Isn’t. About. Me. (I don’t really buy that.) But I’ve been doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walks, dishwashing, obsessive, never-ending handwashing, and disinfectant spraying. Don’t get me wrong; he is a model patient. I am not a model nurse. Not as bad as the fabled Ratched, who did a job on Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but I’m no Walt Whitman, either. Yes! You didn’t know? He didn’t just write poetry; he was a skilled nurse. We are now five days in since my husband tested positive. The CDC says
n the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so there was no joking.
he can go out and play. According to new guidelines, I was never required to isolate if I felt OK. We are not following these guidelines. We are both isolating until he tests negative. I will then test, and we’ll move on from there. Have no doubt: This Covid thing is one nasty bug. My husband has just about every pre-existing condition you can have, and he is feeling every one of his 76 years. The take-home lesson is this: We might be very sick or dead without the vaccines. Thank heaven and whatever powers may be, thank our scientists and our medical community and all the friends and neighbors and fellow Americans who took vaccines and boosters. I have no doubt at all that my husband’s apparent mild course of illness is because he has some protection from the vaccines. We were also able to get him Paxlovid, the anti-viral drug from Pfizer, and that seems to help, too. Today I can say, so far, so good. I hope he continues to do well. I hope I don’t get sick. Now I must make him a tuna sandwich, not too much mayo, a little bit of onion. Lightly toasted bread. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

t’s likely the eve of the destruction of Roe v. Wade — an act likely to be met with cheers or outrage, depending on which side of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court abortion case people land on. And what comes next could very well be up to your state legislator. How the court could change course so dramatically in less than 50 years is something scholars will debate for a long time. But it’s not exactly unprecedented. In fact, it’s not even uncommon. The court has overturned its own decisions more than 230 times since 1810, according to the Library of Congress. That makes such actions an almost annual event, on average. Many of those mind changes were for the better. Like the famous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling in 1954, which upended the “separate but equal” policy established by Justice Melville Fuller’s court with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 created the “you have the right to remain silent” Miranda rights we see over and over on cop shows. But Miranda actually overturned two rulings from just a decade earlier, both involving criminal suspects who were denied access to lawyers during police interrogations. And there have been decisions that just made things worse. Like Citizens United v. FEC, which has helped shape the “soft

LETTERS My body, my choice? Please! To the Editor: The argument about a woman’s right to control her body is confusing to me. It seems to apply only when certain parts of society want it to. They say confession is good for the soul, so perhaps that’s why Randi Kreiss felt the need to share with us that she had an abortion (“Threat to choice has women on the march,” May 12-18). The following week, a reader shared that she’d had two abortions (“Randi’s ‘raised voice for women,’” May 19-25). I’m happy that this reader was financially and emotionally ready to welcome children after her abortions. If all of our parents waited for that, I wonder how many of us would have been born. That’s not so much a judgment of these two ladies who shared their abortion stories, but more a commentary on our society. But where were these same coura-
money” political landscape we have today. In 2010, the court, let by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that giving money to political campaigns — no matter how much money — was an extension of free speech granted by the First Amendment. That ruling wiped out two previous Supreme Court decisions, including one brought by Sen. Mitch McConnell against the McCain-Feingold Act, which limited such campaign expenditures. Many of these legal “course corrections,” for lack of a better term, were met with controversy. And if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, its ruling will reverberate through a large number of elections and a wide range of legislation to come. Yet what’s before the court isn't a criminalization of abortion. Instead, it would likely return the country to what existed before Roe — individual states creating a mish-mash of laws ranging from full legalization of the procedure to its outright ban. New York has a complicated history with abortion. While many believe the state would remain pro-choice, it wasn’t always that way here. In fact, abortion has been legal in New York only since 1970 — legislation signed into law just three years before Roe of a procedure that had been outlawed, for the most part, since 1830. But abortion access will completely disappear in other states — the quickening
of a process that has been under way for the past couple of decades. The future of abortion in New York will almost assuredly lie with Albany. State lawmakers will be compelled to respond to the ruling, and could put in place laws codifying the original Roe ruling, dismantle legalization, or possibly finding some space in between. No matter which direction legislators lean, what is certain is they need to hear from you. For abortion? Against abortion? With conditions? No conditions? This is the time to speak up and be a part of the legislative process. We spend a lot of time reading — and hearing — about individual lawmakers’ positions. In the end, however, their job is to represent their constituents. That’s us. But they can’t represent us if they don’t know our positions on legislation before them, or the bills that could wind up on their desks thanks to the actions of the Supreme Court. Call your Assembly member or state senator. Write them letters. Send them emails. Visit their district offices. Don’t wait for someone else to speak for you, because if everyone waits, then no one is speaking. And with high court changing so dramatically in recent years, it's more important than ever to establish those relationships with lawmakers, because what happens next truly depends on you.

OPINIONS
et’s be clear. The calculated illegal leak of a draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is akin to leaking the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal. It puts American democracy and institutions at grave risk. As challenging as it may be given the passions of both sides, we need to put aside whether we agree or disagree that the draft Roe v. Wade decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and appreciate the far larger issue: that the leak is a cyniRONALD J. cal effort to corrupt the confidenROSENBERG tial deliberative process of our judiciary. It not only improperly sought to create a national firestorm prior to the court’s issuing a final decision, but also to destroy the necessary confidentiality, internal trust and mutual respect needed among the justices and staff. Unlike the other two branches of government — Congress and the executive branch — which have elected office holders who are answerable to their constituents every two, four of six years — the
federal judicial branch has unelected judges and justices who are appointed for life. The reason our founders provided for this was to attempt to immunize them from the outside forces and partisan influences that are involved in getting reelected or re-appointed. The founders of this great republic enacted a Constitution that provided for an executive branch and a legislative branch, both of which are answerable to the citizens — and thus also subject to being lobbied and picketed by them. Judges, meanwhile, are obligated to decide matters impartially, without bias, prejudice or partisan influences, based solely on facts properly admitted into evidence in court and in accordance with applicable law. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to intimidate or influence judges outside court proceedings to try to get them to achieve your desired outcome. Picketing their homes or otherwise trying to intimidate judges or their families is a serious crime, and a threat to the premise of the judicial branch. Chief Justice John Roberts’s statement after the leak only hinted at his level of anger when he described it a “betrayal of the confidences of the

LETTERS geous people who are defending “my body, my choice” when we were corralled to get the Covid shots? Those who chose not to lose their jobs included firefighters, police, nurses and doctors who had no choice but to work to save all of us. And I would love for someone to explain to me why my family will have to take a Covid test to get back into the U.S. in July after a family vacation. Are there not thousands of illegals crossing our border every day who are neither tested nor made to be vaccinated? Get ready, people: “My body, my choice” is going to open up a whole new Pandora’s box. Physician-assisted suicide, or “medical aid in dying,” is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, and 10 years down the road, or sooner at the rate we’re going, I can bet you, in keeping with the disrespect for human life and the need for doing selfishly what is good for us, we’ll be looking at the following:
Court.” And words alone will not heal the historic damage done to the integrity of the court or sufficiently punish the leaker(s). In its wake, Roberts instructed the marshal of the court to conduct an internal investigation into source of the leak to Politico for the purpose of punishing those involved. There are those in Washington, however, who suggest that assigning this responsibility to an office whose role is not even remotely one of investigations is akin to asking a shop teacher to construct the Hoover Dam. He or she might be able to do it, but you wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the final product. At a time when the very integrity of the high court has been violated, there are voices calling for a stronger response. Glenn Fine, of the Brookings Institute, has written that what is needed is an investigative office worthy of its name and prepared for its purpose. In a recent commentary, Fine wrote, “This situation is why I argued … that the federal judiciary needed an experienced, professional, permanent internal investigative office — an inspector general.” Also in question is what happens to the traitorous individual who is ulti-
mately identified as the leaker? If he or she is an attorney working for one of the justices, the absolute minimum threat should be a highly publicized, humiliating permanent disbarment. The leaker should also face criminal charges, and if there is no current statute providing for criminal prosecution, Congress should immediately enact and implement one. A news service quoted Michael Frisch, described as a former disciplinary counsel in Washington, suggesting that if the perpetrator is an attorney, “It's going to be a career-defining, if not career-ending moment.” Americans need to understand that this leak went far beyond the question of Roe v. Wade. It sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders. You may agree or disagree with the rulings of the Supreme Court, but it is designed to reflect the highest principles of what we call a democratic republic. Damage it and you damage that crucial foundation upon which America has been built and thrived for 233 years. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Getting rid of elderly parents who have begun to be a financial, emotional and social burden — or a husband who has Alzheimer’s, and whose wife is emotionally drained, can no longer afford to care for him at home and can’t afford long-term care because that will deplete her financial security. Disabled children, homeless people and then the mentally ill will all be at risk in this disposable society we are creating for ourselves. Many of us are looking around and not recognizing this country that we love so much. The “my body, my choice” movement is bringing all of this to a head. How dare that reader speak of “religion-saturated politics” and how it should not be allowed to damage this country more than it already has. Spare me your preaching, sister, because you’ve got it all backward. JANE DANTONA GROGAN Lynbrook
