THE ROCKS CELEBRATED Sunday afternoon after completing a sweep of Oyster Bay for the Nassau Class B softball championship.

East Rockaway softball wins Nassau County B title By TONY BELLISSIMO sports@liherald.com

Keeping with its theme all spring, East Rockaway opened the Nassau Class B softball best-of-3 finals last Friday against defending county champion Oyster Bay with its 17th come-from-behind win of the season. In Game 2, the Rocks took a different approach and busted out to a rare early lead, scoring 3 runs in the top of the first inning on the way to completing a series sweep with a 9-5 victory at Mitchel Field. The last 4 1/2 innings were completed Sunday after a fast-moving storm brought torrential rain to the area Saturday and left the field in unplayable condi-

tion. Seniors Mimi Bilardello and Adriana Ramirez, the table-setters at the top of the lineup, both had 2 hits, 2 RBIs and 2 runs scored as East Rockaway (19-4) captured its 15th county crown in program history and 12th in the last 17 years under coach Joe Lores. “It’s a great feeling,” Bilardello said. “We didn’t do well last season, but most of the team returned. We’re a close-knit team, and to play so well together and earn this is so great. When we beat Mineola in a back-and-forth game late in the regular season, I really felt we could go far.” The Rocks, who took Game 1 against Oyster CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Charlie “The Cannibal” Campbell’s next fight could be the fight that begins his run as a UFC fighter. After his last mixed martial arts bout on April 15, which he won in the first round, by knockout, he gave an emphatic post-fight interview in the cage to professional wrestler, CM Punk, with the idea of gaining attention to be invited to UFC President Dana White’s “Contender Series,” where talent is scouted for the UFC. The show affords up and coming fighters the chance to showcase their talents in hope of earning a UFC contract. “I knew that the TV series was coming up this summer and I thought, I need this fight and I need to win it in order to make a splash and get the right people’s attention and get invited onto this show,” Campbell said. “I called out specific matchmakers in the UFC that are in charge of inviting people to this ‘Contender Series’ show and I got their attention. There was no denying that I deserved my chance and my opportunity after that night”, After his impressive win, Campbell will fight Scottish MMA fighter Chris Duncan as a part of White’s “Contender Series” on Aug. 2. Campbell, 26, is a lifelong East Rockaway resident and began competing when he joined the Lynbrook Titans wrestling program at age 8. With an invite to the “Contender Series,” Campbell’s years of hard work is getting him closer to a major life goal. “I’ve been aiming for longer than people even know about,” he said. “This is something that no words can even describe. Getting that contract for me. It’s a life dream in itself.” While Campbell is focusing on his next fight, he still has more that he is aiming for. “I know that the ladder of success goes higher as you climb it,” he said. “It’s not the end all be all. It is just another fight. I know that the bigger picture is becoming a world champion. I want to do that. But thinking back to that 11-year-old version of myself, that was watching UFC events and dreaming about doing that myself, now it’s right in front of me. I knew I deserved to be

there” With him on the path to achieving his childhood dream, Campbell is staying focused on his preparation. “I’ve treated every fight the same for the past five years,” he said. “I know each of them is very important with the overall goal of getting to the UFC. Each fight was a must-win or I wouldn’t be in the seat I am right now for this fight in August. I know what’s at stake. It’s destiny. I’m going to make it happen”. The 2013 East Rockaway High graduate has many people supporting him in his MMA career and achieving dreams of the UFC and beyond are just as much for his supporters as they are for him. “I want to make everyone who believes in me proud, “ he said, “my family believed in me from the beginning, all the people that have heard about me came to support, watched from home, read the articles in the past, and have been paying attention to me, I want to make them proud and also prove those people wrong who have been doubting me all this time”. Campbell has had a successful MMA career and with his sights on the UFC, he said he believes people haven’t seen the best of him yet, and surrounding himself with the right people has been and will continue to be key to his success. For this upcoming fight, in particular, Campbell has been getting a lot of time spent with Aljamain Sterling, a Uniondale native, who recently won the UFC Bantamweight World Championship. “With him, looking over me and helping me with those things I need to be better at, I have no doubts,” Campbell said. Although it is hard to not look ahead to a potential UFC contract, Campbell said he is prepared and ready to win his fight and continue his dream. “I know what I have to do,” he said. “And I will get it done. I’m going to knock this guy out and it’s going to come down to when’s the next one”. Campbell’s fight on Aug. 2nd will be at the UFC’s home base of Las Vegas in the UFC Apex Centre and can be seen on ESPN Plus.

CHARLIE “THE CANNIBAL” Campbell could earn a UFC contract with his next win

Parents, police want to prevent another Uvalde

June 2, 2022 — HERALD

By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

“How do we keep our children safe?” It’s a question on the mind of parents seemingly every day as they send their youngsters off to school and out into the world. That question has come into even clearer focus in light of the tragedy of Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 elementary students and two adults on May 24. It was the nation’s 27th school shooting this year, according to NPR, and we’re not even halfway through. “Most shootings are over in two to three minutes,” Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder told a small crowd of 20 or so people who gathered for a school safety seminar at the police department’s Garden City training center last week. “The active shooter kills who they have to kill, and usually they kill themselves after.” The typical response time for Nassau County police officers for an emergency call is between three and five minutes, the commissioner added. “If I can close the gap to between two to three minutes by getting there faster, I can save lives,” Ryder said. “If I get there quicker, I save lives.” Some of that time can be saved thanks to technology. All 56 county school districts have been equipped with a smartphone app that instantly alerts police if there’s trouble. Officers are also mandated to do walk-throughs of schools in their districts daily to better familiarize themselves with how campuses are laid out. “If I go left (by accident), I lose seconds,” Ryder said. “And each second, I lose a life.” And then there’s the more tangible equipment, like Kevlar vests, helmets and even ramming tools. “We don’t wait,” Ryder said. “Most people think that a school shooting could never happen here,” said Emily Pflum, an intelligence expert with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “But the same people are the ones who saw all the signs and never said anything.” Fascination with weapons and former attackers, disturbing social media posts, cruelty and torture of animals, and self-incriminating statements such as “I’m going to make my mark on the world” or “see what I’m going to do tomorrow,” are signs of a potential threat, she said. But shooters aren’t the only societal plague parents have to worry about. There’s something else out there that some may say is just as dangerous, if not more: fentanyl. “Unfortunately, it’s not a problem we can arrest our way out of,” said Detective Lt. Matthew Landman of the police department’s narcotics bureau. Landman has a two-pronged approach to the issue, heavily expressing the importance of education — “the most important part of today’s day” — and enforcement. He shows students “before” and “after” photos of addicts. “There is hope. There are a lot of services. But unfortunately, these people live very difficult lives, and it’s a very long road to recovery. I tell my audiences at school to save yourself the heartache and don’t get involved” to begin with. Landman also touched on how potent fentanyl and carfentanil can be, adding that just 2 milligrams of fentanyl is lethal. “In essence, a sugar packet’s worth of fentanyl has the ability to kill 500 people,” he said. And then there’s social media. Sure, it’s a great way to stay connected to family and friends, but it’s also easy to fall prey to the dopamine thrill online attention can provide. “We literally have a whole generation of people who are more anxious, more depressed, more down, with low self-esteem than ever before,” said Luis Serrano, an officer with the Nassau County Police Department. “And that is connected to social media.”

LUIS SERRANO OF the Nassau County Police Department says social media has created a number of problems with young people, believing it has created spikes in the hospitalization of teenage girls harming themselves, and attempting suicide at higher rates.

Tim Baker/Herald photos

SHEVON AND CHARLES Senat say they’re going to sit down to talk to their kids candidly about the issues facing young people and teenagers these days. Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder, at right, addresses concerned parents’ worries about opioids, school safety and social media use. Before 2009, hospitalizing teenage girls after harming themselves was something few people were alarmed with. But that changed with the introduction of platforms like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok with those same figures nearly tripling. Even more horrifying, Serrano said, is the 151 percent rise pre-teen girls attempting suicide. “This is the reality we live in,” Serrano said. “This is the connection to social media, and this is why social media has become like a drug.” But parents should be worried about actual drugs, too — and not just fentanyl. It might be easy for many to hide drug abuse, but Officer John Obert-Thorn says there are ways to discover those secrets, and maybe even lead someone to seek help. Pupils that are pinhole-sized

could be an indicator of heroin or oxycodone, while large dilation could point to cannabis or a stimulant. “The only way we’re going to take ourselves out of this massive, massive drug addiction problem and drug abuse problem is through prevention,” Obert-Thorn said. “Getting them while they’re early (is) the only way.” Charles and Shevon Senat have two young boys at home in Baldwin, and admit the work to keep them safe is round-the-clock. “We’re going to talk to them and let them spread the word to cousins and their friends,” Charles said. “We talk to him in candid conversations — not authoritative. We want them to know we’re there for them. Don’t be scared to talk to us. (As a) matter of fact, come to mom and dad first.”

Pandemic changed view on palliative care The height of the coronavirus pandemic remains a dark time for many — especially those who were sick and couldn’t see their loved ones in-person. That put even added pressure onto palliative care, a type of specialized medical care for those with serious illnesses focusing on providing relief and comfort from the symptoms and stress of those illnesses — more often than not, for those suffering conditions that may ultimately claim their lives. But a lot has changed since the start of the pandemic, and the newly minted Molloy University will share a lot of that during its palliative care conference on Friday, June 3. Offered both virtually and in-person following, the conference offers participants new tools to provide professional, competent and compassionate care to patients and their families. It had been held annually since 2008, but paused at in 2020 and 2021. “Typically, the conference offers topics that help the professionals deal with death and dying,” said Lou Cino, the dean of continuing education and professional studies at Molloy. “Not only for the patient, but for their families as well. And that can mean helping them physically, mentally or emotionally.” Palliative care has grown over the last two decades, Cino said. Graduates in a variety of professions rely on conferences such as these for professional development on the subject. At Molloy’s event, experts from medicine, nursing, pastoral care, child life and social work will present the latest advancements in the fields of symptom management, ethics and communication, staff self-care, and bereavement during the nearly eight-hour conference. Clinicians from all disciplines also will speak about

MOLLOY UNIVERSITY WILL host the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference on Friday, June 3. Industry professionals will gather both in-person and virtually to learn how this medical specialty has grown in importance in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. best practices and barriers to timely palliative care in hospitals, nursing homes and hospice organizations. The event will feature lectures and therapy demonstrations. The conference is important, Cino said, because it brings medical professionals and experts together to create a dialogue about the best palliative care practices. “They’re health care professionals that served on the frontlines of the pandemic for the past two years,” he said. “They deal with death and dying on a daily basis, and this is a conference that gets all these people together to talk about the problems they have with dealing with death and dying. It takes a special kind of person to do this work.” The conference was renamed this year the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference, in memory of the Herald

Community Newspapers’ cofounder, and late mother of publishers Stuart and Cliff Richner. She was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder in 2006, and through palliative care, her last days were made more peaceful. “It’s wonderful and we’re so happy and excited that the conference is being named after Edith,” said Lori Hardoon, a social worker and one of the event’s organizers. “Many people in the world of palliative care are women, and we have some powerhouse women that are a part of it. She was an amazing woman, a powerhouse and a leader.” The keynote speaker at the event is Dr. Russell Portenoy, the executive director of the Manhattan-based MJHS Institute for Innovation in Palliative Care, a highly regarded voice in the field. There wasn’t as big of an emphasis on palliative care just a few years ago, Cino said, as there has been more recently. Most hospitals now have a unit dedicated to palliative care. That need, he added, was magnified by COVID-19. “One of the horrible things about the pandemic is that you didn’t have the ability for the patients to be with their families,” Cino said. “These health care professionals were the last people they saw. They didn’t see their family. They didn’t see their friends, and didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.” Hardoon was excited the conference could be held both in-person and virtually to reach a broader audience. “The beauty, for me is I get to be there from the beginning of planning,” she said. “I get the inside view of the plans behind each year and how we’re making the conference bigger and better. Each year, it gets better and better, and the magnitude of it takes my breath away.” The conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration takes place at the Madison Theatre’s public square. Zoom links will be available at Molloy.edu/ce/pcc.

BRINGING LOCAL SPORTS HOME EVERY WEEK

HERALD SPORTS Rocks top Oyster Bay for softball crown JUNIOR GRACE WOODING, far left, contributed to the Rocks’ 8-run outburst in the fourth inning of Game 1 with 2 runs and an RBI.

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE Bay last Friday, 13-1, will battle Babylon for the Long Island Class B crown on Thursday at 3 p.m. at Moriches Athletic Complex in Center Moriches. East Rockaway sophomore Sofia Ramirez pitched all 12 innings in the series and had a 9-strikeout performance in last Friday’s Game 1 that ended a few innings early due to the mercy rule. She was cruising through five innings in Game 2 with a 9-1 lead when Oyster Bay finally got the bats going and scored four times in the bottom of the sixth on consecutive doubles by Kaitlyn Aasheim, Jackie Del Pozzo and Ciara Barefoot, and a 2-run single by Anastasia Sakellis. “Oyster Bay is a well-coached team with a lot of pride, and that’s what I told our girls in the circle during the sixth inning,” Lores explained. “I just wanted to settle them down, and said, ‘Get one out a time.’” Sofia Ramirez said that getting back to mixing up her pitches and keeping Oyster Bay’s hitters off-balance was key to closing it out. “I had to get my pitches off the plate more,” she said. “Once I did that, we got the outs we needed and held them off.” Bilardello was instrumental in building the firstinning lead in Game 2, leading off with a single and scoring on Adriana Ramirez’s single for the first run. Senior Amanda Loyer drove in Ramirez and later scored on a wild pitch with 2 outs, and it was 3-0 before Oyster Bay swung a bat. The Rocks held a 4-0 lead and had runners on second and third in the top of the third when the skies opened up and the game was suspended due to weather. When it resumed Sunday morning, Bilardello stepped into the batter’s box with 2 outs and delivered a clutch 2-run triple to make it 6-0. Adriana Ramirez and senior Riley O’Hagan followed with run-scoring hits and the cushion

swelled to 8 runs. “Mimi’s hit was big because you want to be able to carry over the momentum from yesterday,” Lores said. “We doubled our lead with that five-spot and as it turned out, we needed it.” In Game 1, the Rocks scored 8 runs in the bottom of the fourth to break a 1-1 tie and take command. Junior

Grace Wooding scored twice in the inning and also drove in a run. Senior Katy Howard capped the outburst with a 2-run single. “We’ve had a really good season, and earned it,” Sofia Ramirez said. “We want to keep playing as long as possible.”

Bellmore edges Lynbrook for football title By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Flushed from the pocket with her intended target tightly covered by Lynbrook’s defense in the end zone on fourth down, Bellmore-Merrick quarterback Sofia LaSpina had to improvise fast. “There wasn’t much time to think and no room for me to run,” LaSpina said. “I only had one choice.” That option was Gabrielle Hanellin, who took a short pass from LaSpina from the 4-yard line and spun her way over the goal line for the eventual winning touchdown with 4:21 remaining as Bellmore-Merrick captured the inaugural Nassau County girls’ flag football championship with a 12-7 victory May 26 at Mepham High School. An interception by Bellmore-Merrick’s Adriana Iemma thwarted the Owls’ final possession on a day when both defenses thrived. Kaelyn O’Brien and Amelia Doyle had interceptions for Lynbrook, which nearly turned the table on the Chargers after losing the regularseason meeting 41-22 just nine days earlier. “We definitely battled some nerves and Lynbrook deserves a lot of credit for the adjustments they made and for giving us everything they had,” Bellmore-Merrick head coach Anthony Cracco said. “We trailed most of the game, but I’m so proud of how the girls hung in there and executed on the last drive.” The Chargers (9-0-1) advance to play the Suffolk County representative — either Walt Whitman or Sachem East — for the Long Island crown on June 4 at 6 p.m. at

the New York Jets headquarters in Florham Park. The Jets and Nike sponsored nine teams from Nassau that conducted an eight-game regular season beginning in late April. Lynbrook, which eliminated Massapequa in the semifinals, finished 7-2-1. “We threw a few wrinkles in today and were right there until the end,” Owls head coach Rob Kolb said after the title game. “It just came down to Bellmore making a few more plays than we did. “It was an amazing season,” he added. “A lot of our girls play other sports but they were at 6 a.m. practices and really enjoyed a lot of success and being teammates.” Bellmore’s championship-winning drive began with 7:49 remaining, set up by a long punt return by Madeline Ryan. LaSpina, who made national headlines last fall when she became the first female athlete to score a touchdown in a Long Island high school football game, connected with Iemma and Luciana Setteducate for 20-yard gains to move the ball inside the Lynbrook 10. Lynbrook’s defense, which was led by Kyla Nembach and Keziah Job, stood tall until fourth down when LaSpina took the snap from center Sophie Orlich and found Hanellin for her 34th touchdown pass of the season. Hanellin crossed the goal line a split second before her flag was removed by O’Brien. The Owls, with Tyla Vuotto starring, scored on their opening possession. O’Brien’s 1-yard touchdown run and conversion pass to Katie Sharkey made it 7-0. It was 7-6 at

FirstNet AT&T sponsors health care excellence awards Many really started calling those who work frontlines — and behind the scenes — in the health care industry heroes at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. But they’ve always been heroes. Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLive is partnering with FirstNet AT&T to recognize that heroism through its premiere Excellence in Healthcare Awards Gala on Wednesday, June 15. Health care professionals from across Long Island will gather at The Heritage Club at Bethpage in Farmingdale so they can be recognized for their diligence in their field andpassion for helping others. FirstNet AT&T has been committed to public safety since 2012 when, through a public-private partnership, it created a nationwide high-speed communication network for first responders. The company established the FirstNet Health & Wellness Coalition in 2021 to organize and support the welfare of firefighters, police and emergency medical technicians, so they can keep fighting for the community, and contribute greatly to public safety. “We look at FirstNet as the most important wireless network in the country because it’s serving our first responders,” said Anthony Postiglione of FirstNet sales executive for public safety solutions, in a release. “At AT&T, we have

been long committed to serving the public safety community — we see it as both our obligation and our honor. With many of my immediate family and friends being part of the first responder field, I feel as though I’m privileged to help provide the first responders of Long Island with the telecommunication solutions that will help keep them safer in the field with the FirstNet ecosystem.” The evening begins with a private reception exclusive to the honorees and sponsors, followed by a networking cocktail party before the dinner and awards ceremony. Honorees will be given an elegant crystal award for recognition of their dedication to the health and wellbeing of their community and health care facilities. “I’m very much looking forward to the event,” Postiglione said. “Being able to interact with first responders gives us the opportunity to not only thank them for all they’ve done — and will continue to do for the Long Island community — but will allow us to get more feedback and understanding of what their current needs are in the first responder arena, and how we can continue to support.” Tickets for the Premiere Excellence in Healthcare Awards Gala are available at RichnerLive.com. Sponsorship inquiries can be directed to Amy Amato at (516) 5604000, Ext. 224, or at aamato@liherald.com.

E.R. man faces charges after hospital gun incident CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE they recovered seven ghost gun handguns; two assault rifles, one of which was a ghost gun; more than 60 high-capacity magazines; ammunition; and ghost gun parts. The NYPD received the call at around noon on Feb. 17, alerting officers that Saxton had pulled out a gun and threatened to shoot his wife inside the hospital as she held their daughter. In an email to the Herald, NYPD spokeswoman Sophia Mason described the incident. “Upon arrival, responding officers obtained a description of the subject’s car and encountered the vehicle outside of the hospital,” she wrote. “A 34-year-old male was arrested, and multiple loaded firearms were recovered.” In a statement, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz called the ordeal frightening. “This defendant allegedly threatened to shoot his wife in a hospital that specializes in treating children,” Katz said. “This potentially deadly threat was made all the more frightening when police found illegal and untraceable firearms on the defendant. This growing prevalence of ‘ghost guns’ is adding to the chaos and bloodshed in our neighborhoods. My

office will continue to do everything possible to stop the flow of these and all illegal firearms.’ According to Katz, after pulling the gun out and threatening to shoot his wife, Saxton told her that he would kill her in front of all the people at the hospital. He then walked out of the hospital and called her on her phone, threatening her again and telling her he would kill her in her sleep. When police arrived, she said, Saxton dropped a loaded magazine on the ground in the hospital’s parking lot. She said police recovered a loaded 10mm pistol, a 9 mm pistol and ammunition for both firearms, as well as a plastic bag containing cocaine and Saxton’s wallet. Donnelly said that the NCDA created the Firearms Suppression and Intelligence Unit in January, which comprises four prosecutors with extensive training in firearms and narcotics. From Jan. 1 to mid-May, about 70 guns have been seized by the unit in Nassau County. In the same time period last year, about 114 weapons were seized. The case is being prosecuted by Senior Assistant District Attorney Matthew Laube of the Narcotics, Firearms and Gangs Bureau.

Q. We’ve always had window air conditioners, and want to get central air. It’s quieter, and we’d get our windows back. As we figure out costs, we just want your opinion as to whether it’s worth it. We realize we’ll have less room in our attic, and we think we’ll lose some space in closets where the ducts go from the attic through the second floor to the first floor. We got an estimate that was pretty expensive, $15,000 dollars. Do you think it’s worth it? A. There’s a lot to consider. Many people don’t know the many issues of retrofitting central air conditioning into a home. In planning and paying for a new system, consider that, generally, it adds value to the home, but in doing so, you are required to obtain a building permit, which includes multiple steps, from filing a site plan, onte eeper showing the location of the outside condenser unit, to an attic plan, showing how the fan unit is mounted with a location for the condensation drain pan, and information on whether the home is in a flood zone and how the outside unit will be mounted above the base flood level. You will also need an electrical certificate and final inspection for an electrically powered system, and a plumbing permit if the system is gas-fired. Most systems are electrically powered. Then you should consider that your county tax assessor rates homes with central air as having greater value, so you will be taxed at a higher rate for central air than for your current windows units. That’s right: Your taxes will increase along with your energy bills. Window units are my last choice for cooling systems because they are unsightly, can be unstable, need to be tilted out and downward to avoid condensation from dripping into the window, and aren’t energy-efficient if kept in the window year-round, since cold air gets into the room through flimsy sealing around the units. The least costly system is actually having individual separate controlled room units in through-wall sleeves, higher in the wall and away from windows, not just because it is only a little less unsightly, but because you avoid the tax increase, the building permit process and expenses and the disruption to the home, including the loss of valuable access and storage space in the attic and closets. I regularly see where central air system installers ignore your best interests by placing the ductwork across the middle of the most accessible area of an attic to make their installation easier for themselves, disregarding your storage and access needs. The installers often move attic insulation and neglect to put the insulation back around the newly installed units, which may keep you cool in the summer but can make you freeze in the winter. The latest energy code requirement is to insulate the attic rafters so the attic unit is part of the cooled area. More on split units next week. Good luck!

OPINIONS

week ago, I had a chance to spend a delightful afternoon with my 2½-year-old granddaughter Logan. Logan was fortunate that during the Covid confinement, she had two parents working from home who could spend extra quality time with her, and as a result she’s an articulate and observant young girl. I know I sound like every other grandfather, but during those precious few hours, I wondered and worried what her world will be like in the next 20 to 30 years, and what JERRY challenges she will face. KREMER Our current world is one big mess. The war in Ukraine is much more than a regional battle. It is a struggle between good and evil, and in any war there is always a chance that evil will prevail. We have crackpots running countries such as Russia and North Korea who have access to nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. For Logan’s sake, I hope these dying despots

will refrain from trying to take the world with them. Whether you agree or not, global warming is and will be a long-range threat to our quality of life. No sane person can ignore the continuous threats that nature poses to us. Massive forest fires, tornadoes, superstorms and flash floods are constant events here in the U.S. The current world leadership has failed miserably to deal with the root causes of global warming. I hope that Logan and her peers will be willing to do something aggressively to curb these changes, assuming it isn’t too late by then. If you think technology is moving fast, just consider the past five years of changes and then try to imagine what our world will be like in 2040 or 2050. Most of us know little, if anything, about artificial intelligence. It will eventually dominate the way our society functions, and could eliminate millions of jobs, despite what the technology geeks say. Will there be a place for Logan in such a fast-moving environment? Women in today’s business world understand what the term glass ceiling means. How hard

will it be for Logan to advance when she’s ready? There is now an ongoing debate about how well our children are being educated to face the challenges of the future. Are we preparing them for the rapid changes that lie ahead? Will their families be able to afford the right education? Will they have a chance to be competitive when they face a new-age job market? Will the courses they take match what advanced technology will require? I want my grandchild, and everyone else’s grandchild, to be ready to join a much different world than the one we live in now. The past two years have been a terrible period for all of us as we struggled through the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic. Home confinement and remote learning have dealt our children a psychological blow that will take years to wipe away, if it ever can be. The scientific community has done a brilliant job of creating medicines that challenge Covid-19 and many other viruses, and we all hope they will be available to children at every grade level. Maybe, just

want her, and every grandchild, to be ready for a much different world.

maybe, when Logan is a full-time student (if not before), we will have vaccines that can protect against any type of unanticipated strain. There is so much more to hope for for Logan and her peers. The current divide in American thinking over so many issues is tragic. There are few, if any, normal discussions about our society’s problems; those discussions have become heated debates. Added to this frustration is the rise in prejudice and hatred against so many individuals and groups. This division in beliefs won’t disappear overnight, but if America has any hope of remaining a democracy, it has to end. The few precious moments I had with my grandchild made me press my mind’s fast-forward button as I wondered what the world will be like a generation from now. I am hopeful that for all the children and grandchildren out there, their world will be a safe, happy and adventure-filled place. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Just another day in the USA: 19 kids shot dead

elatives of the Uvalde, Texas, schoolchildren were taken to a “reunification” center after the gunman did his work. That struck me — the word reunification. Because it was a lie. So many parents would never be reunited with their precious sons and daughters, little fourthgraders, who were gunned down in their classroom last week, along with their teachers. The killer? Another angry young man who bought himself two AR platform rifles for his 18th RANDI birthday. KREISS We Americans are choking on our rage, and so much of it is funneled into violence against children. I feel ashamed. We call ourselves responsible citizens, and yet we abide the sacrifice of our children. We cry — and we keep re-electing to office the pro-gun candidates who are in bed with the NRA. We pledge allegiance to our flag knowing all the while that the killing of school kids in their classrooms is an all-American pastime. It doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world with the frequency that it happens in our homeland.

Golda Meir famously said that when Israel’s enemies loved their children more than they hated Israel, peace would be possible. The same could be said of Congress: When they love our children more than they hate standing up to the National Rifle Association, the slaughter will stop. I recalled Golda’s lament after Columbine in 1999, and in 2012 after Sandy Hook, and in 2018 after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. Between those dates, according to Wikipedia, there were 31 other school shootings in the United States. Some 70 percent of the shooters were 18 or younger. We know we have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. We don’t have enough caregivers, and we don’t have a functioning system in place to get help to those in pain. The single greatest cause of death among American children is now shootings. These words are hard to write, and I hoped to focus on something else this week, perhaps something lighter, but the events of the day eclipse the possibility of distraction. In this moment of loss and horror, we need to keep beating the drum for gun regulations. We need to beat the

drum even as we are exhausted by the noise, even as we feel the intransigent power of the NRA pushing back. In Uvalde, as in Parkland, as in Columbine, the usual post-massacre teams gathered at the scene: police, media by the truckload and a group that travels from killing spree to killing spree with counselors and money for funerals and warnings about post-murder scams. The fact that we have such a team in America is both a further indictment of our society and, obviously, a necessity. We all know the lingo of “lockdown” and “active shooter” and PTSD caused by shootings. Really, it is an abomination that we have become so proficient at handling the tragedies rather than preventing them. Remember Sandy Hook? Dylan’s mom and Daniel’s dad write to me often. In truth, I dread reading their e-mails; their words darken the day. But how wrenching it must be to write the words. These parents are leaders of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, the group that works toward stricter gun control laws. They are victims of the tragedy, both having lost first-graders in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. Their work is

ongress needs to love America’s children more than it loves NRA money.

pure and heroic — trying to find a slender thread of hope in the heap of terrible grief that has consumed their lives. Now David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland massacre, writes to me, seeking support for an anti-gun group called Never Again MSD, which is marching yet again this week in memory of Uvalde and to urge stricter gun laws. They write to me, and millions of others, to garner support for laws that would prevent another mass shooting, or at least reduce the odds. But there has been so little progress. Instead of sensible gun-control laws drafted by a responsible Congress, we have unctuous sentiments without any commitment to change our gun laws for the better. Our only power is our vote. We need elected officials who promise to take on gun violence with substantive legislation. Do members of Congress love their children? You bet they do. Do they love their jobs so much that they will not stand up to the NRA? You bet they do. When they love their children, and America’s children, more than they love NRA money, we may see meaningful legislation on guns. Twenty-seven school shootings so far this year, according to NPR. And counting. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

e might not think about it very often, but we blink a lot — as often as 1,200 times an hour. That’s a quick shutter of our eyes about every three seconds. Every two seconds, according to the American Red Cross, someone somewhere in the United States needs blood. To keep up, our nation’s blood banks require upward of 40,000 blood donations every day. But lately, we’ve struggled to keep up. The blood supply in the United States is at almost historic low levels, as a result of a perfect storm of waning interest among young people and the coronavirus pandemic. The need, however, hasn’t relented, so getting out and donating a pint is more important than ever. But so is compelling the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to adopt scientifically based screening to keep the blood supply safe and stop stigmatizing gay men. Before 2015, if you were gay, you could never donate blood. It's a byproduct of the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s since this demographic was more likely to introduce HIV into the blood supply. It's no longer a lifetime ban. Now it's just three months from the last time one man slept with another. The FDA says this is the best way to reduces HIV-tainted blood slipping into the supply, but it doesn't have to be that way. The Human Rights Campaign — a national organization championing LGBTQ rights — says by doing this, the

LETTERS The lost children in Texas To the Editor: The deaths of 19 Uvalde, Texas, fourth-graders have stolen more than a combined 1,000 years of future life from them, meaning that, collectively, they will be missing more than: One thousand Memorial Days, 1,000 Fourths of July, 1,000 Halloweens, 1,000 Thanksgivings, 1,000 Christmases, 1,000 New Year’s Days, 1,000 Valentine’s Days and 1,000 Easters — not to mention their 19 wedding days, the births of their own children and grandchildren, and countless other days, weeks, months, years and decades. However, this latest tragedy almost became understandable to me when I imagined a mash-up of the Constitution's First and Second Amendments: “Congress shall make no laws respecting the right of people to keep and bear

FDA doesn’t treat people with similar risks the same way. The restriction isn’t just on gay men who engage in risky behavior, like unprotected sex. Instead it applies to any gay man, even if he is monogamous and practicing safe sex. But straight men or women with multiple sex partners, or who are taking part in otherwise unsafe practices, aren’t restricted. To make it even worse, the FDA lumps gay men in with two other automatic disqualifications: people who have used illegal drugs with needles, and those who have traded sex for money or drugs. The FDA has proven itself to be extraordinary in testing blood supplies with a high degree of accuracy. There must be a better way to counter risk factors without turning way entire groups of people, painted with a broad brush. Washington must change this archaic policy, because it's vital everyone who can donate, does donate. A single donation helps save not just one life, but three. Imagine that. Spend less than an hour of your time, endure a slight needle prick, and you’ll make a difference for three others. Medical facilities can extract four different beneficial components from the blood: red cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate — the last helps blood clot. More than a third of donated supplies are used to treat cancers and blood diseases. Other major beneficiaries of

blood donations include patients suffering from anemia, those in surgery, those with heart and liver disorders, and orthopedic patients. Just about anyone can donate blood, according to the New York Blood Center, as long as you’re at least 17 — 16 with parental permission — weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in generally good health. There’s no maximum age, but those older than 75 need a doctor’s clearance. There are some restrictions. If you have traveled anywhere in the world where malaria is a problem, you must wait three months. If you get a piercing or a tattoo, it’s also three months — unless the procedure took place in a sterile environment, or, in the case of a tattoo, it was done by a licensed facility in New Jersey. Syphilis or gonorrhea? Three months. Blood transfusion? Also three months. Pregnancy, abortion or miscarriage? Six weeks post-pregnancy. Despite all that, believe it or not, most people can still donate. And you should. Visit the New York Blood Center at NYBC.org. Call to make an appointment at (800) 933-2566. Or visit a local blood center. You can find them on the blood center’s website — and there is one nearby, at 290 Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre. Every time you blink, let it be a reminder that someone, at that moment, is being told they need blood. Do your part by donating the gift of life today.

OPINIONS

ince it opened in 1959, SUNY Nassau has often been described as the jewel of Nassau County and the New York state community college system. We have been one of the prime economic engines for the county, and a magnet for attracting residents. It is time to reinvest in the college so that its faculty can offer continued quality academics, programs and curriculum to prepare students for the 21st century. The college will now go into its 15th year without a funding increase for its operational budget from Nassau County. This, along with a decade-long cut in state funding, has led to a FAREN shrinking full-time faculty, SIMINOFF increases in tuition and cuts in student services, along with the college’s failure to develop and offer new programs and initiatives. Yet our own board of trustees won’t ask the County Legislature for an increase in our operating

budget. Where other college boards of trustees regularly ask for, and receive, 1 to 2 percent increases in their operating budgets, ours has not. This isn’t sustainable. If the board of trustees does not submit a revised budget proposal to the County Legislature, we will ask the Legislature to reject their proposal, and ask the board and administration to revise it. County funding represents a significant portion of the college’s funding — about 25 percent of our total operating budget. Like all of us, the college has set

LETTERS arms, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” At least this seems to be the way our cowardly Congress has (mis)read the Second Amendment ever since the slaughter of 20 Sandy Hook 6- and 7-year-old firstgraders 10 long years ago (which now, again, feels like yesterday). RICHARD SIEGELMAN Plainview

Blakeman ignores oppression in West Bank To the Editor: Re “Blakeman champions partnership with West Bank” (May 19-25): It saddens me to see that Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, along with other county officials, is celebrating the signing of an economic and cultural agreement with Israeli West Bank settlements. Despite statements by Blakeman and others, these settlements are illegal under international law, and are obstacles to obtaining any real peace in Israel/Palestine. It has unfortunately become far too common among some, like these county officials, to choose to ignore longstanding U.N. resolutions and basic tenets of fairness and justice. Ongoing Israeli oppression of Palestinians — including the forceful removal of Palestinian families from their homes and land — must cease, and the long, bitter occupation of Palestine must end if we are to see the desperately sought peace we say we want. I urge our county officials to move us in that direction. JIM BROWN Secretary, Green Party of Nassau County Island Park

expenses that have risen dramatically over the years. What other public institution can you think of that has not received any increase in funding in 15 years? It is past time for the county to increase its investment in the college. SUNY Nassau students tend to stay in the county. They are rooted in the community and form part of the needed workforce, becoming our accountants, lawyers and small business owners. And yes, they stay on to become our valued neighbors and taxpayers. In sum, SUNY Nassau students are our future. In asking the county to raise the college’s operating budget, we are, in reality, asking the county to invest in its residents, businesses and in its own future. The benefits are limitless. We believe that a great county deserves a great community college. To sign our petition, please go to Change.org/launch23for2023. A rally is scheduled for June 27, at 3:30 p.m., in front of the County Legislature building, at 1550 Franklin Ave., in Mineola, when a vote on the NCC budget is expected.

We must have the right to choose To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Threat to choice has women on the march” (May 12-18): I’ve been a reader and fan of Randi for many years. I’ve laughed with her and cried with her as my husband and I raised our two daughters, buried another, and experienced joy and too much sorrow. We’ve navigated the world of mental health disorders with a family member, and as I pursued a legal career, we were blessed with much nachas — pride and joy — in our girls. I nursed my husband as he disappeared with early-onset dementia and passed away four years ago. I write now because this issue, of the right to choose, hits home. I, too, was fortunate enough to be able to choose not to continue with a pregnancy when I was 19 years old. Now I’m frightened and incensed and motivated to act. I will be retiring from my 35-plus-year career as an attorney shortly, and I plan to volunteer with an agency/organization to somehow conserve/revive the right to choose. I thank Randi for all her years of thought-provoking, incisive journalism. MIRIAM GOLDSTEIN Baldwin

We’re being stripped of our rights To the Editor: Women’s rights are being taken away from us. This country will not uphold its claim to be just, equal and righteous if they can easily take away our rights.

Taking a choice involving a woman’s body should not even be up for discussion. This is no one’s concern except for women who are looking for an option, a choice. We cannot have a democratic country and yet take our rights away when a majority of this country is against the likely Supreme Court decision. It is

wrong and shameful what is happing to women who need outlets and resources for a decision that affects their whole life. This is not a minor problem or disagreement — this is an abuse of power. It is our right, our body and our choice. ARIANA COYLE Wantagh
