elks oFFicers recently performed a Floral Bell of Liberty ritual.
A ritual to remember The Elks recently performed the Floral Bell of Liberty ritual, which has four stages for the officers to place together. Each of the knights, in succession, placed their section of the bell on the altar at a recent meeting while they recited their part of the ritual. Leading Knight Brian Steckler, Loyal Knight Roland Costen, Lecturing Knight Anitra Butler and Lodge Esquire Paul Schneller took part in. Former Distirct Deputy Mark Stu-
parich came up with the idea to have the performance after a visitation to the Liverpool Elks Lodge, and it took a great deal to create the various tier sections of the bell. Mark and his late wife, Elaine, presented the Floral Bell to the lodge in 2013, a year after his trip to Liverpool with then state President Larry Contratti. The ritual goes back to 1922, and the Elks Lodge has performed it for the past nine years.

the elks hosted a Flag Day ceremony on June 14.
Flag Day tradition carries on The Elks officers recently performed the lodge’s annual Flag Day service. The lodge was set up early on Flag Day, June 14, by Michael Stuparich, who chairs the event. Helping him were Paul Schneller, Mark Stuparich, John Costello and John Nuzzi Sr. The hall was lined with 130 chairs, and local groups, residents and organizations were welcome to participate. Attendees included Lynbrook Mayor Alan Beach and the board of trustees, Lynbrook Police Department Chief Brian Paladino, Lynbrook Fire Chief Chris Kelly and U.S. Army Sgt. First class Jose
Marrero, and members of the Nassau County Police Department. Kerry Stuparich served as the guest vocalist. The Elks have hosted the service since 1907, and according to lodge officers, the Elks were the first national organization to adapt a traditional Flag Day service, which has been mandated for all lodges to perform for the past 115 years. After each organization presented its flag, the history of the flags were read by Elks member Al Hoffman and Boy Scouts Troops 20, 121 and 332 presented U.S. flags. The ceremony was followed by a buffet dinner.
Hochul banks on finding jobs across New York state There are more than 15,000 jobs — a record amount — posted on the state labor department’s seasonal job bank in a variety of industries from amusement parks to farms and restaurants and summer camps across every region. The free state resource allows businesses to list employment opportunities, and job seekers can look at part-time and seasonal jobs by location, company, job title and by searching through keywords. Guides for young people looking for work are available online to help them navigate what they need before filling out job applications. Divided by age groups — between 14 and 17, as well as 18 and 24 — the guides include information on obtaining working papers, the proper identification required, and even resume preparation. “With such an active job market, there is a wide variety of options to explore across the state,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said, in a release. “I encourage all job seekers to use the many resources the New York State Department of Labor offers to guide them to a job they love.” Part-time work is a vital component to help the state’s economy recover from the Covid pandemic, according to labor department commissioner Robert Reardon. It provides a boost to job seekers, such as helping them return to a previous career that might not have full-time posi-
KATHY HOCHUl tions available. It also allows those same job seekers to try a new career or a different position, or even learn new skills while working. Such work also offers flexible schedules to accommodate child or elder care needs, and provides support and job networking opportunities. “In this tight job market, we’re looking to make it as easy as possible for businesses with full-time, part-time or seasonal openings to connect with New Yorkers looking for work,” Reardon said, in the release. For the job bank, go to SeasonalWorks. labor.ny.gov. For the guides, go to DOL.ny.gov/youthages-14-17 or DOL.ny.gov/youth-ages-18-24. –Jeffrey Bessen

MADElINE PRUCHA AND Jason Miller were the 2022 valedictorian and salutatorian.
Few graduating classes go unchallenged, but the seniors of ’22 overcame a lot CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE Prucha participated extensively in the school’s clubs and organizations during her time at ERHS as well as being a talented writer. She is a model of school spirit and involvement, holding various leadership positions as captain of the cheerleading and badminton teams, and president of DECA, Mock Trial, Newscasters, National Honor Society, and the school newspaper. Prucha received the Nassau County Scholar Award for cheerleading was an All-Conference selection for badminton. She was an New York State School Music Association participant and received honors and awards in English, science, and social studies. She received the Academic Excellence and the Nassau County District Attorney Shield Award. She was a two-time winner of the East Rockaway Andrew J. Stern Memorial Essay and participated in the Knovva Model G20 Climate Change Summit, where she was awarded Most Outstanding Delegation. Throughout her high school tenure, Prucha piled up a number of accomplishments but in her speech to the class, admitted that her lengthy list of accomplishments is not her biggest high school takeaway. “If you had asked a ninth-grade Madeleine if she’d rather be happy or accomplished, she’d probably tell you the latter. I think that’s kind of sad. If you asked a ninth-grade Madeleine if she thought these two entities could coexist aside from each other, she’d tell you no, which I think is even sadder” she said from the podium. “Another certificate or promotion or congratulations are never worth your mental well-being. Your accomplishments are worthless if they are detracting

the wily Pish-Tush. Patricia Gallagher plays the fearsome aristocrat Katisha, who claims Nanki-Poo in marriage and won’t take “No” for an answer. “The Mikado” is a Gilbert & Sullivan opera unlike any other, satirizing English society through a lens that comprised Japan in the original production and 1920s Long Island in the current show. It is the only one of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas popular in non-English-speaking countries and the first ever to be made into a movie, in 1939. The performance has been a hit on Broadway as “The Hot Mikado” (1939), and has even had a movie —“Topsy Turvy” (1999) —made about its creation. “The Mikado: A Long Island Fantasy” will be presented for five performances, with three coming after the Herald went to press. They include June 25, at the Jeanne Rimsky Theater at the Landmark on Main Street in Port Washington; June 26, at the Riverside Theatre in Manhattan, at 3 p.m.; and July 3, at Heckscher Park in Huntington, at 8 p.m. Admission is free.

Tambasco said. “Setting `The Mikado’ on a fantasy Long Island of 100 years ago allows us to activate the `Gatsby’ mythology that is a part of the cultural heritage of Long Island in the service of telling Gilbert & Sullivan’s comic fairy tale of a community overcoming the nonsensical cruelty imposed on its people.” The score for “The Mikado” is packed with famous songs, including the ballad “The Sun, Whose Rays Are All Ablaze,” the rattling patter song “I’ve Got a Little List,” the trio “I Am So Proud” and the wistful “Titwillow.” The story dates back to 1885. The cast includes more than a dozen of the company’s singers and dancers, more than meeting the challenge of “The Mikado.” Richard Risi plays Nanki-Poo, the wandering minstrel who’s secretly the son of the all-powerful Mikado. Sabrina Lopez is Yum-Yum, Nanki-Poo’s secret love, with Michael John Ruggiere as her guardian Ko-Ko, the Lord High Executioner. Tamara Shyngle and Page play Yum-Yum’s schoolmates Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, with Kenneth Kopolovicz as the pompous Pooh-Bah and Jorden Breslow as

Lynbrook resident Delaney R. Page will be featured in “The Mikado: A Long Island Fantasy,” a new approach to the classic comic opera, presented by the Gilbert & Sullivan Light Opera Company of Long Island in East Meadow, Commack, Port Washington, Manhattan and Huntington. The Light Opera Company is one of Long Island’s oldest cultural institutions, celebrating its 68th season; Page is in her sixth year with the company, playing the role of Peep-Bo, one of the famous “three little maids from school” who attend a prestigious academic in a far-off realm called … Long Island? Directed by Tony Tambasco, with music directed by Stuart Watarz, this all-new “Mikado” recasts the most famous of the Gilbert & Sullivan operas to be set on Long Island’s Gold Coast in the 1920s, the era of prohibition, the flappers, silent movies and “The Great Gatsby.” “I have attempted to recover the spirit of Gilbert & Sullivan’s intentions with a production that holds a mirror up to the present day, while also engaging in light-hearted fairy-tale-telling,”

Protests erupt after Roe v. Wade falls By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com
It started with a moment of silence. Then screams. And then it was a furious rage. That was the scene outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola on Friday in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that is widely seen as overturning the U.S. Constitutional protection given to abortion access in 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. The 6-3 ruling found in favor of a 2018 Mississippi state law that banned most abortion procedures after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. When it came to Roe v. Wade — and a 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that reinforced that original decision — the court was more divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal minority. But that wasn’t enough to maintain the constitutionality of abortion access, losing 5-4. Friday’s courthouse protest was organized by Long Island Rapid Response I Dissent Rally, which got a head start on the decision thanks to an unprecedented leak of the majority opinion last month. Rally organizers believe some 36 states will now make abortion illegal. New York will not be one of those states, however. The state legislature has already codified Roe v. Wade, keeping its abortion access intact. However, other states are expected to remove such access, including in pregnancies resulting from sexual assault and incest in states like Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. Many states pre-empted the decision with so-called “trigger bans,” making abortion illegal there the moment the court removed its Constitutional protection. “Oppressing access to reproductive health is a racial justice issue,” Nia Adams of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, told the courthouse crowd on Friday. “To add further insult to injury, the facts remain that Black maternity mortality rate in this country is four times higher for Black women than for our white counterparts.” Ellen Meister is no stranger to such protests. Hailing from Jericho, she attended her first march in 1982 in Washington. “It’s been a long time and I’m tired, but I’m here because it’s important,” Meister said. “I’m long past the age where it’s going to matter to me, but I care about women’s rights and bodily autonomy.” She held up a sign with a bloodied coat hanger, symbolizing how society can’t go back to barbaric and unsafe methods of abortions. “I wanted to make a really dramatic statement because this is reality,” Meister said. “People are going to die.” But not everyone was disappointed in the decision. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, called the court’s decision a “victory for life, for family, for the Constitution, and for federalism.” “Today is yet another reminder that New York clearly needs to do a much better job to promote, respect and defend

What they say
life,” the congressman added. Northwell Health released a statement soon after the decision, saying it was disappointed by the court’s ruling. “This decision is a setback for women’s reproductive health. Our concern as the region’s largest health care provider is that this ruling will succeed in ending access to safe abortions and disproportionately cause harm to those who already have limited access to health care.” Jay is worried about that as well. They held a sign at the rally declaring “abortion is trans health care,” telling a reporter how the transgender community continues to be excluded from the conversation. “We’re not only women, even though women are very important to the conversation, obviously,” Jay said, “but I think it’s important to remember our marginalized communities that’re disproportionally affected by this.”
PROtesteRs ChANted ‘my body, my choice’ and ‘vote them out’ to cars driving along Franklin Avenue. NIA AdAms fROm Long Island Progressive Coalition, speaks to some 200 people who gathered outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on abortion access.
There were opinions from all sides following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on abortion rights, including fromn local lawmakers. “The public health ramifications of this ruling will be enormous, especially for economically disadvantaged women who already struggle with access to health care,” Nassau County legislator Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat, said in a statement. “If we are to stop the backward slide that we are now witnessing in our nation, we must organize, mobilize and vote, because our freedom and personal liberty are at the top of the ballot.” Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican on the Hempstead town council, told his Twitter followers that he was “strongly opposed” by the decision of state Democrats to “enact the nation’s most extreme abortion law, legalizing late-term and partial-birth abortion, allowing abortions to be provided by non-doctors,” and removing criminal penalties for what he described as “assaults on pregnant women,” causing “unborn child death.” “Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court neither upends that unpopular law, nor affects the ability of any woman in New York to have an abortion,” D’Esposito added. “Here’s the truth,” said Josh Lafazan, a Democrat on the Nassau County Legislature, who is running for Congress. “Anti-choice extremists have demonstrated for years that they are willing to stop at nothing to get what they want.” –Karina Kovac

At East Rockaway, he competed on the track and field team, and was a conference champion for shot put and placed second in the divisional championships in discus. Lynbrook’s graduation took place on the Marion Street Elementary School football field. Emma Ward was the top of the class as valedictorian, while Rachel Edelstein was the salutatorian. Ward finished her senior year with a 104.68 grade point average and was the founder of the school’s SCOPE Club, which has raised more than $13,000 to help send underprivileged children to summer camp.

Lawmakers want fentanyl tests in Narcan kits Flanked by community leaders and recovery advocates on the front steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building, county legislators unveiled proposed legislation recently intended to require the inclusion of fentanyl-detecting test strips in opioid overdose treatment kits distributed by Nassau County agencies. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency describes fentanyl as a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Consuming fentanyl-laced drugs — often unbeknownst to the user — has resulted in reported massive increases in overdose deaths among opioid abusers. Including fentanyl testing strips with these treatment kits — known by its brand name, Narcan — would serve as a low-cost way of potentially identifying tainted drugs and preventing accidental overdoses, county officials said. The strips would cost $1 each. “Fentanyl has dramatically raised the stakes of our ongoing battle to conquer the opioid drug addiction crisis,” Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Distributing these strips will give residents another tool for preventing the devastation caused by fatal overdoses.” Using Narcan to help treat an opioid overdose has been life-saving, Legislator Debra Mulé said. “Pairing fentanyl detection testing strips with the Narcan kits we distribute is a common-sense way for Nassau County
Courtesy Office of the Nassau County Legislature Minority
LocaL government and health officials gathered to promote the inclusion of fentanyl testing strips in drug treatment kits used by first responders, including Keisha GrahamWilson of Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services, Dr. Sharon Harris of Substance Abuse Free Environments, Legislator Arnold Drucker, Legislator Debra Mulé, Claudia Rotondo of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse, Jeff Stone of Project Help Long Island, and Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton. to accelerate our collective efforts to prevent overdoses and save lives,” she added. Suffolk County passed similar legislation last December requiring the inclu-
sion of fentanyl testing strips in its Narcan kits. While not yet required in Nassau, Keisha Graham-Wilson, of the Hicksvillebased Central Nassau Guidance and
Counseling Services, said the agency has included fentanyl testing strips in its kits for the last several months. “These test strips are so important in terms of preventing overdoses,” GrahamWilson said. “We have individuals that have told us they are only using marijuana, but when we do toxicology, sometimes we have to tell them that the substance they are using is laced with fentanyl — and they are so shocked and surprised.” Other recovery advocates and community leaders expressed support for the proposal. “Providing these strips could be lifesaving,” said Claudia Rotondo, executive director of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse. “It would give us the ability to test the remnants of the substance that was ingested to see if it was cut with fentanyl.” “The DEA warned several months ago that fentanyl was a driving force behind the majority of overdoses that have transpired in the last year,” said Dr. Sharon Harris, executive director of the Glen Cove-based Substance Abuse Free Environments. “This is an incredibly important piece of information that needs to be promoted to educate our youth and our families about what is going on.” The legislation is currently in committee, but could be part of the next available legislative agenda in mid-July. –Reine Bethany

FirstNet donation gives Safety Town new life FirstNet, Built with AT&T, has donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department Foundation so it can renovate and refurbish its Safety Town education facility in East Meadow. First opened in 1972 and operated by the police foundation, Safety Town is an educational center and miniature village that provides children with a variety of public safety learning experiences. Each year, more than 10,000 third-graders from across Nassau County visit Safety Town, and are taught traffic, pedestrian and bicycle safety by police department crossing guards — first in a classroom, and then through a unique “hands-on” experience using bicycles and miniature electric vehicles. A 10-year analysis of bicycle accidents in Nassau found that children who attended Safety Town were 10 times less likely to be involved in an accident than a child who did not receive training, according to a release. FirstNet’s support allowed the police foundation to revitalize the aging center, to help it be ready in time for National Safety Month in June. This included removing and replacing more than 20 dilapidated buildings within Safety Town, adding professional landscaping throughout the campus, and repairing and beautifying other critical infrastructure elements.

FiRSTNET, BuilT By AT&T, donated $110,000 to the Nassau County Police Department’s Safety Town, helping provide the 50-year-old East Meadow facility with a much-needed upgrade to help teach children traffic safety for years to come. The new and improved Safety Town was carefully planned to ensure children can learn traffic safety for another 50 years, officials said.
“Safety Town is a very important piece of community training for the NCPD,” police commissioner Patrick Ryder said, in a release. “At 50 years old, it was in a
desperate need for a renovation.” FirstNet is a dedicated, nationwide communications platform designed to upgrade public safety communications with new capabilities that support incident response from first responders. FirstNet is designed to allow these public safety professionals to connect to the critical information they need every day, and in an emergency, help keep them — and their communities — safe. Advancing public safety was the core mission of FirstNet when the First Responder Network Authority and AT&T joined forces. “Now five years since its launch, that mission continues to inspire us to support initiatives and programs like Safety Town who share a commitment to creating safer communities and keeping our kids safe,” said Judy Cavalieri, vice president and general manager of AT&T New York. “We are proud to support this program.” “Having gone to Safety Town as a child, I am especially happy that the foundation is continuing this tradition,” said Eric Blumencranz, chair of the Nassau County Police Department Foundation. “We are grateful for the generous support from FirstNet, Built with AT&T, that brought this important community training facility into the 21st century. Safety Town is vital to building relationships between law enforcement and youth, and we are proud to be involved in such an important endeavor.”

News brief Eisenstein leaving health commissioner post
LARRY EISENSTEIN candidates is something I take very seriously.” Before joining the county health department, Eisenstein was an infectious diseases doctor working out of what is now South Shore University Hospital in Bay Shore, as well as Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, according to an online bio. He also was a teaching attending physician at what is now NYU Langone Hospital-Long Island between 2007 and 2009 while maintaining an academic affiliation with SUNY-Stony Brook School of Medicine.

Larry Eisenstein, who has led the Nassau County’s public health department for more than a decade, is stepping down next month. The commissioner will “pursue opportunities in the private sector” beginning July 29, according to county officials. “Dr. Eisenstein has helped lead the county through some of the most tumultuous times in our history as we struggled to overcome the Covid-19 pandemic,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said, in a release. “Serving multiple administrations, his professionalism, work ethic, knowledge and commitment to the residents of Nassau County is unmatched.” Eisenstein took some heat from Democrats in the county legislature earlier this year when he refused to insert himself into Blakeman’s conflict with Gov. Kathy Hochul over mask requirements in schools.

Q. We’re retired, and live part of the year in Florida and part in New York. Eventually we plan to sell. Recently we had our kitchen redone, and had to make changes to a closet to make more room. Twenty-plus years ago we took down a wall and enlarged the kitchen, and I’m hearing that it was supposed to have a permit. The contractor was a big outfit that has commercials on TV, and I’m sure they got us a permit for the work. I understand that it may come up when we sell. Is this true and how do we know if there was a permit? We looked everywhere, but can’t find one? What should we do?

A. There is always the chance, especially in tighter economic times, that a lending bank inspector will be looking more carefully at what was done, in comparison with the original plans for the house. I often get desperate calls from people who’ve just been given two weeks to get a permit for something done many years ago. People generalonte eeper ly don’t understand how long each step in a legalization process takes. There is even the tease of an express permit by some building departments. I use the word tease because you and the architect are being set up for disappointment if the person reviewing the plans Tom Tripodi Tripodi | Shemtov Team finds one note they want added or a dimension, etc. Douglas Elliman Real I have been informed that when that happens, your Estate plans go into the pile with the rest of regular fil516-902-3497 ings and your express fee is history.

opinions
s a former elected official, I am frequently asked who has the toughest job in America. Most often, I answer either President Biden or New York City Mayor Eric Adams. But after watching three of the hearings of the Jan. 6 committee, I’ve decided that Attorney General Merrick Garland has the most difficult job in America. Over the next six to nine months, Garland must decide whether he will charge former President Donald Trump with a variety of election JERRY law criminal violations. No former KREMER president has ever faced criminal charges related to their actions while in office. President Nixon was close to being indicted for a variety of federal crimes in 1974, but that August he announced his resignation. There is no doubt that by the time the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol finishes its witness presentations, it may have enough criminal evidence to turn over to the attorney general, with a recommendation that he take formal action against
L
Trump. But charging a former president with a crime could further divide an already bitterly divided country, and might inflame the relative handful of crazies who are ardent Trump supporters. As the hearings come to a close, the media will focus on the fate of the former president, but there are many other people who may wind up in handcuffs in a federal courtroom. The logical targets could be the large group of people who claimed to be presidential electors for Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, states that Biden won in the 2020 election. Their fake certificates were even sent to the National Archives. The next potential defendants could be former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney John Eastman. Guliani and his team appeared in multiple courtrooms throughout the country, falsely arguing that the election had been stolen, but those arguments were hollow and failed in more than 60 cases. Eastman is alleged to have created the plot to overturn the counting of the ballots on Jan. 6, which he peddled to Trump on many occasions after the election. Eastman has since invoked the Fifth Amend-
W
ment more than 100 times. Are there others who could wind up wearing prison jumpsuits? During questioning at the fourth Jan. 6 committee hearing, the names of two Republican members of Congress surfaced. A staff member of Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, and Rep. Andy Biggs, of Arizona, were alleged to have asked Vice President Mike Pence to accept a list of fake electors and reject legitimate electors. Both Johnson and Biggs could be charged with fraudulent efforts to overturn a legitimate election. They may be joined by at least six other House members, whose names will be made public in the coming weeks. Garland is wrestling with the right and wrong of charging a former president with federal crimes, along with the national implications of such a decision. But I would guess that if the tables were turned, and the election manipulation had been done by a former Democratic president, a Republican attorney general, such as William Barr, would please his client, the Republican president, by moving ahead with a criminal case. Is there another scenario that all of us may have overlooked?
ill Attorney General Garland charge a former president with federal crimes?
A federal grand jury has been impaneled in Fulton County, Georgia, and has heard testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom Trump asked to “find 11,780 votes,” which would make Trump the winner in Georgia. The request by Trump could be found to be a criminal attempt to change the results of the election, and subject him to criminal charges. No matter what your political leanings are, the Jan. 6 investigation has unveiled cold, hard facts about how Trump conducted himself in the days and weeks after his loss in November 2020. While the vast majority of Americans were going about their business, a small group of attorneys and elected officials were working around the clock to burn the Constitution and turn this country over to a president who refused to accept his defeat. In the end, there may not be jail terms for anyone but the rioters at the Capitol, but it is impossible to whitewash history, no matter how hard the Republicans try. 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.
Engaged! Finding love in the pandemic.
illybee and Don are tying the knot. In an unintended romantic consequence of the pandemic, my husband and Lillybee, daughter of Sinbad el Amante Suave and Ivy of Chickadee Cotons, are making it official. After nearly three years of relative isolation, with no doggie play dates and no dog park, they are inseparable. Their path forward: together. As the third leg of this domestic canine cluster, I will speak now in protest or be comRAnDi pelled to forever KREiss hold my peace (an unlikely scenario). For starters, Lillybee’s pedigree is much finer than my husband’s. She came from a dam and sire raised by boutique breeders in Oregon and Arizona. Don is from Brooklyn. His parentage goes back to various anonymous Hungarian horse traders who sailed to America in steerage. Lillybee flew first class from Arizona. And she can trace her heritage back to great-grandparents Fozzie T. Bear of Amanda Sue
Cotons and Yankee Doodle Dandelion of Windy Hills Cotons. Then there is the age disparity. Don is 76, and Lillybee is 35 in dog years. She weighs 13 pounds. He weighed that at birth. In the beginning we were the classic trio, older couple and new pup. Truthfully, we figured she would be our last pup, given the average human life span and the projected life span of a small dog. We hoped to pretty much finish up at the same time. Lillybee, like her cohorts, is a personality. She raises her nose in the air and tests the wind. She assesses which advantages she can push. She’s clever, that girl, and without ethics of any kind. I guess you could say she is purely transactional. Give her something and you get something. When my husband was working and I was at home doing the dog training, Lillybee learned to sit for a treat, lie down, come when called and go to her place on a mat in the corner of the kitchen while we ate our meals. She never “demand” barked, which is an obnoxious trait wherein a dog barks loudly and inces-
A
santly in your face for something — food or attention or a walk. Not acceptable! The idea is that after training for good behavior with tons of treats to sweeten the pot, the dog will adopt the good behavior even without a treat. It did not take long for us to realize that Lillybee does nothing for nothing. If you want her to sit and you aren’t prepared to offer her a sizable piece of dried sweet potato, you are barking up the wrong tree. Training her was exhausting. You could almost hear her thinking, “I don’t have to sit. But I’ll do it if you give me one of those compressed chicken weenies.” She was always an alpha dog, and she landed with us, a Triple A alpha couple. Still, her life in our home was rewarding and fun and fully inclusive of us as a trio. Then the pandemic hit, and we and she were completely isolated. Don and I spent many more hours at home. He retired. We didn’t travel much, and she had been accustomed to riding in airplanes zipped into a canvas bag under the seat. She was a get-up-and-go dog. At the beginning of the pandemic,
s the isolation deepened, the husband and the dog became inseparable.
there were rumors that dogs could carry the virus and advice not to let them into a sick room. We didn’t know how strict to be, so we just kept her inside with us, except for walks. There was a lot of togetherness; since we couldn’t see our grandkids, Lillybee was the main event. She began to “demand” bark. Don began to give her extra treats. Not just chicken weenies and dried sweet potato, but shreds of salmon at $18 a pound and the occasional peanut. I’m not saying he’s not a naturally lovable guy, but soon Lillybee would not leave his side. No going to her “place” during meals. He pulled out a chair for her at the table and she would gaze longingly into his eyes, clearly praying for him to drop a crumb. He started to think it was personal, not realizing that he’s only as good as his supply of dried liver. He decided to increase her stash of toys, even buying two stuffed duckies in case one of them got dirty. Then, I heard him call her “darling,” as in “Darling, want a belly rub?” That was when I realized this wasn’t just a fling. I heard they’re registered at Bloomingdales. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

The Declaration of Independence was first published on July 6, 1776, in a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Evening Post. We are proud to commemorate that high point in American journalism by reprinting that historic document.
W
hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. e has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at
H
places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Government: For suspending our own legislature, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People. Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. e, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.

The Declaration was signed first by John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, and then by 55 others representing the 13 original states.

oter fraud has been around since the creation of democracy, but that doesn’t make it right or mean we should allow it to continue or expand. Free and fair elections are the foundation of any free, self-governing country. Without them, you have nothing except the tyranny imposed by those who successfully manipulate the electoral process. The latest assault on our voting mechanisms has a long history. You could buy a vote with a round of drinks as practiced by the New York City DemoRONALD J. crats of Tammany of the 1880s. ROSENBERG Hall And voting from the grave? Louisiana’s governor of the 1930s, Huey Long, reportedly said, “When I die, I want to be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.” Others have used a variety of frauds, including bribes, intimidation and poll taxes to redirect election outcomes. But in the 21st century, we are facing a far more insidious and systemic corruption of our balloting. Today, would-be electoral fraudsters want to entirely abolish the requirement of voting in person with identification, in favor of allowing voting
by mail or an absentee ballot merely for the asking. Requiring ID and other laws designed to ensure the integrity of elections do not suppress the vote, as President Biden and others have falsely asserted. Last month’s Georgia primary saw record turnout for early voting — nearly triple the level in 2018 level and 212 percent more than in 2020, a presidential election year. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill earlier this year that, dangerously, allows New Yorkers who are concerned about getting Covid to vote this year by absentee ballot. Some political pundits believe that, much like their clumsy and illegal gerrymander of election districts, this is one more instance of those on the left seeking to undermine the integrity of our elections so they can gain a political advantage at the expense of democracy. It’s not as if New York voters aren’t wise. They sent a loud and unequivocal message last November when they voted down a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed no-excuse absentee voting. As the political cycle heats up with a double-barreled primary calendar, it is important to understand that voting by mail and unlimited absentee voting is a

To prevent strife Promoting grief A task accomplished by the stroke of man Nestled pinnacle not giving a damn
To the Editor: My husband and I very much enjoy Randi Kreiss’s writing in the Herald. I am a 67-year-old semi-retired biomedical research immunologist who refuses to “retire.” I am no longer doing bench research, and am now involved in global health, community engagement — and creative writing. Some of my pieces have been featured in low-profile venues like medical school and community arts publications. Like so many others, I was devastated after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. My emotions drove me to write this poem, which I entitled “Failure.”
Deceptively powering pro-life Children suffering the plight
FRANCES SANTIAGO-SCHWARz, Bayville Failure Failure to protect the sacred nest Squashing laughter with a single burst Cries of joy no longer physical Now deep in the soul, inextinguishable Remembering loss of one so beautiful A single burst multiplied by many From a haunted soul on the devil’s journey Failure to validate loss of life
serious threat that undermines confidence in the integrity of the outcome. “Ballot harvesting” has become a thing: Paid operatives are sent door to door, offering to transport individuals’ mail-in ballots to the Board of Elections. One suspects that these concerned defenders of democracy may well check your party affiliation before deciding whether the next stop is the ballot box or the dumpster. In California, no less, the practice was recognized as being so egregious to democracy that after it was made legal in 2016, it was subject to serious restrictions. California “has since made it illegal to get paid per ballot collected,” The Washington Post reported, “and for employers to ask employees to bring their ballots into their workplace.” Another dimension to ballot harvesting that harms the integrity of absentee voting is the ability of the paid operative to make a last-minute argument about why you should vote one way or another. This kind of pressure is why our polling places have restrictions on how close candidates can campaign. If our democracy is to stand the test of time, the Covid-imposed ability to vote remotely needs to be curtailed and
restricted to those who legitimately cannot make it to the polling place on Election Day. It isn’t too much of an ask for a concerned and engaged citizenry to find the will and the means to physically make it to the ballot box one day a year. Those who argue that these options increase participation in our election process will have to make a far more cogent case, because the jury is still out on that claim. An analysis by the Connecticut Mirror suggested that absentee voting has not brought a significant spike in participation. The Public Policy Institute of California reported a similar finding. So one can legitimately ask, what is the real reason to expand absentee and remote voting, who is pushing that agenda, and why? As we reflect on the priceless gift of democracy, we should consider who should be given the unchallenged right to offer absentee ballots. The immediate and obvious answer would be our fellow Americans in uniform, who are defending the nation. Those patriots earn the right to an absentee ballot with their blood and valor. What’s the left’s excuse? 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.

A queen? No, but more British TV! To the Editor: My wife and I enjoyed Randi Kreiss’s column “Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?” (June 16-22). I don’t think we Americans necessarily need a king or queen, but everyone would benefit from more British television! We began subscribing to streaming Acorn and BritBox several months ago, and we watch the same mysteries Randi mentioned, plus some others. We currently alter nate between “Vera,” “A Touch of Frost,” “Midsomer Murders,” “Inspector Morse” and “Foyle’s War.” “Foyle’s War” is particularly interesting, as it introduces the viewer

ful and humorous column. P.S.: I agree with you on Boris Johnson, but British food is really pretty good! JIM BROWN Island Park
