A history of King Charles not worth repeating
The world continues to mourn the passing of Queen Elizabeth II while welcoming a new sovereign, King Charles III.
Charles waited 70 years to become king since being named the Prince of Wales — the heir apparent to the British throne. That’s longer than any other prince or princess in the direct line. And, at 73, he is the oldest monarch crowned in British history. Like his mother, Charles chose to keep the name given to him at birth. His grandfather Albert was the last to change his regnal name, choosing George VI to honor his father. King Charles III is the first Charles on the throne since Charles II, who reigned for 25 years after the restoration of the British monarchy from Oliver Cromwell in 1660.
The United States, of course, has been officially separated from what was once the British Empire since the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783. But I actually lived under the reign of Elizabeth II for two years when I called the small Caribbean island of Grenada home. Although independent from Britain, too, Grenada is part of the Commonwealth of Nations — 56 former territories that still recognize the British monarch as head of state.
Oddly enough, however, my family has a deeper connection to the throne — that is, if longstanding legend is to be believed.
My great-great-greatgreat-great-great-great grandfather, Sgt. Edward Hinman, arrived in Boston from England in late 1649, eventually settling in Fairfield County, Connecticut. Although he and many of his descendants would help settle key parts of that colony, Sgt. Hinman rarely talked about his life before he crossed the Atlantic.
One story was popularized in the late 19th century, however, by Connecticut’s then-secretary of state, Royal R. Hinman. In a book he published in 1856, Royal claimed that his great-grandfather had actually led the guard tasked with protecting King Charles I, who took the throne in 1624.
If that story is indeed true, my ancestor wasn’t exactly a great kingsguard. The reign of Charles I ended abruptly in 1649 when he found himself on the wrong side of an executioner’s ax during Cromwell’s revolt. But it was that war — and that execution — that forced Edward to flee England and seek refuge in the colonies.
It’s a fascinating story, but one I didn’t even know until the coronavirus pandemic. While I’ve always been fascinated by genealogy, I usually spent my time researching my mother’s side of the family, which has some of its own interesting history. I shied away from my father’s because no one in the family ever talked much about it. I suspected we migrated over in the 19th century, and decided it was time to find out. As I worked my way backward through ancestors, I was shocked to discover that each passing generation was still in America. Where I once thought I was a third- or maybe fourth-generation American, I am actually a part of the 10th generation of Hinmans here.
I also picked up some other fascinating tidbits along the way. My family moved from Connecticut to Vermont, and from there to western New York, about the same time that Royal Hinman was writing his books.
My great-great grandfather, Franklin Hinman, owned lots of farmland in Ellicottville, now probably best known as a ski resort community just south of Buffalo.
His youngest son — my great-grandfather, born when Franklin was 51 years old — was the postmaster in one of the small communities near Ellicottville. My dad was born and raised just south of there, in Salamanca, on reservation land controlled by the Seneca Nation of New York. Despite that connection — and the fact that I still have a number of relatives in that part of the state — none of us knew that the land once owned by Franklin is now known as Hinman Valley. Well, more specifically, the Hinman Valley Wetland Complex, a 100-acre marsh and wet meadow overseen by the state’s environmental conservation and transportation departments. As you’re reading this, I’m back home MiCHAEL in that part of the region, and I could very HinMAn well be making my first-ever visit to these lands so closely connected to my family’s history. And I certainly hope for a successful reign of Charles III — something leaps and bounds ahead of the previous sovereigns to take his name. But if I can make one suggestion to the king: Best to make sure your guard isn’t led by a Hinman. There isn’t good history there.
if longstanding legend is to be believed, my family has a connection to the throne.

Work for Donald Trump, wind up in handcuffs
is that the scent of autumn apples in the air? No, I believe that’s the smell of subpoenas, dozens of subpoenas served in recent weeks to Trump employees, former employees, White House staff and basically anyone and everyone whose behavior, emails, texts and experiences might help illuminate the dark corners of the former Trump administration. Who lurks in those dark corners? According to early reports, there are big-time grifters like Steve Bannon, now indicted for fraud, money laundering, conspiracy and scheming in connection with raising money for We Build the Wall Inc., the former guy’s plan to keep out Mexican immigrants.
Bannon, long associated with Trump, ran a media empire, and now he’s in handcuffs, awaiting trial. Even a degree from the Harvard Business School didn’t make Bannon smart enough to steer clear of Trump.
The Trump curse goes way back. During his tenure, I wrote, “If the White House calls, just hang up. Put down your phone, run out of your house, change your number and move to a remote town where you can live off the grid for the rest of your life.”
Sadly the words were prophetic. Many people would be better off today if they had never been drawn into Trump’s orbit.
Ronnie Jackson, the presidential physician from central casting, might have continued to serve presidents for decades, enjoying the perks and power that access to the White House confers. But Trump decided to promote him to secretary of the Veterans Administration. Unvetted, inexperienced and apparently fatally flawed, Jackson rapidly crashed and burned as a prospective secretary.
Rob Porter, Hollywood handsome and popular among his colleagues, was enjoying his high-profile job as the president’s top aide. Porter was a rising star until the Trump spotlight revealed his dark side. Two of his wives went public with accusations of mental and physical abuse. There were photos. Porter took the exit.
Tom Price — do you even remember him? He was the secretary of Health and Human Services for seven months. He might have continued his career elsewhere without incident, but in the Trump administration, he took 25 private flights in a few months, spent like he was queen for a day and resigned amid charges of indiscriminately using taxpayer dollars for his personal benefit. Gone. I imagine Paul Manafort has mixed feelings, at best, regarding his association with Trump Inc. Manafort, charged by the feds with various financial crimes, might have continued living the high life, consorting with oligarchs and lining his pockets, if not for Trump’s ascendancy to the presidency. Under the scrutiny that accompanies high office, Manafort proved to be a liability to Trump, and vice versa. He served time in jail and, in 2020, was pardoned by Trump.
Michael Cohen, the former guy’s longtime personal lawyer, was known for his fierce loyalty to Trump. For decades he basked in the celebrity surrounding his boss, and ran interference for him. Maybe some people didn’t like his style, but his boss did, and that’s what counted.
That was then. Now Cohen is rehabilitating his reputation after serving jail time and losing his law license.
Among the other movers and shakers
who got in serious legal trouble are Allen Weisselberg, the Trump Organization’s CFO, Mike Flynn, Rick Gates, Ken Kurson, Roger Stone, George Papadopoulos, Corey Lewandowski, Elliot Broidy, Imaad Zuberi, Rep. Chris Collins, and so on. Space limitations prevent me from listing all the miscreants associated with Trump. Some went to jail, some got pardoned by Trump, and some never got over the trauma of the Trump White House years. I do wonder if the individuals were corrupt, and therefore drawn to the Trump enterprises. Were they rotten apples, or was the barrel corrupt? What stands out is the number of people who bent and broke the law in the service of Trump, his businesses and his administration. RAnDi Who came out unscathed? Richer? KREiss Rewarded by a job well done? Only Trump has so far avoided accountability for his alleged misdeeds. He’s still rich, he plays golf, he eats well and he is free. He enjoys all the perks of being a former president. Many of the people who served him are still digging their way out of legal troubles. As the Department of Justice lets loose its flight of subpoenas, we will see if the Trump curse finally comes home to roost.
Many folks would be better off today if they had never been drawn into his orbit.

Herald editorial Closing one chapter, but preparing for the next
“t he pandemic is over.” With those words last weekend, President Biden declared an end to the coronavirus pandemic that has claimed the lives of more than 6.5 million people, and more than 1 million in the United States.
Of course, the pandemic won’t truly be over until the World Health Organization says so. But even if public health officials do determine that we’re out of this crisis, the virus that causes Covid-19 is still out there. It’s still infecting people. It’s still killing people. It’s still creating long-term health effects for many who contract it.
Still, to feel like life may finally return to normal is a relief. It’s been more than 900 days since New York first shut down as Covid cases exploded. Schools and businesses shuttered. Streets emptied. Many people found themselves isolated from the rest of the world, connecting only through Zoom and depending on television specials like “Haircut Night in America” to help with basic tasks for which we once depended on others.
Now that we can sit in restaurants again, attend classes, and pay for someone else to cut our hair, it’s hard not to be grateful that the worst is behind us. But society has a long road to recovery — both economically and socially. Supply chains remain disrupted, fueling inflation. Many people are still out of work, even as unemployment returns to prepandemic levels.
Polarization — especially the political variety — remains sharper than ever. And it’s only been in the past couple of weeks that we could officially stop wearing masks on public transportation, although many stopped doing it months ago.
As the pandemic winds down, it’s never too soon to start planning for the next one. Sure, this has felt like a once-ina-lifetime event, but it really isn’t. When we first learned of Covid, the world was already in the grip of another pandemic: HIV/AIDS, which has killed more than 40 million people.
Before that, we had two other smaller flu pandemics, in the late 1950s and late 1960s, each of which killed up to 4 million people. And then there was the 1918 flu, which is believed to have claimed the lives of as many as 100 million people around the globe.
If there’s anything we’ve learned, it’s that Mother Nature has no shortage of infectious diseases. Even in the wake of Covid, we’ve been reminded about the dangers we face by the recent monkeypox epidemic, and the fear that there may be a resurgence of polio.
One thing that should be crystal clear by now, however, is that pandemics and epidemics do not need to be a way of life. Many of them are preventable, or at worst, manageable. But that means better monitoring of hot spots where deadly viruses can jump from animals to humans. Identifying new public health concerns quickly. And then taking them seriously.
With false alarms in the past like Ebola and SARS, it’s no wonder so many of us had become complacent by the time the coronavirus rolled around. We can’t let that happen again. What we have built as a society is too important. We are too important.
There are some scholars who are convinced that nothing has had a greater impact on our history than pandemics and epidemics. The bubonic plague, for example, cut down half of the global population, by some accounts.
But what you might not know is that that plague didn’t ravage the planet just once — it turned living into a literal coin flip twice. We’re most familiar with the Black Death of the 14th century, which killed as many as 200 million people. But there was also the Plague of Justinian in the sixth century, which was proportionately just as deadly.
We can wear masks when needed. We can avoid contact when asked. And we can get vaccines when they’re available. But our true first line of defense is our leaders. And it’s hoped that no men or women who succeed Biden will ever again find themselves needing to declare a devastating pandemic finally over.

Is it all Trump’s fault, Jerry Kremer?
To the Editor:
Jerry Kremer’s column “Thoughts on saving the two-party system” (Sept. 8-14) expresses a valuable goal, but his analysis — the usual, and now tiresome, “It’s all Trump’s fault” — misses the cause. Of course it would great if, as in past generations, there was ideological room in both parties for a variety of viewpoints. Richard Nixon — another bête noir of Mr. Kremer’s party — warned of this long ago, in 1959, when he said, “I think one of the attributes of our political system has been that we have avoided generally violent swings in administrations from one extreme to the other. And the reason we have avoided that is that in both parties, there has been room for a broad spectrum of opinion.”
Of course, Mr. Kremer’s party thought that Nixon was the worst
The dilemma of choosing a college
This is a busy time of year for families. Getting the children back to school and focused on homework is a big challenge for any parent. And there’s another group of parents who are physically and emotionally challenged. They are the parents of collegebound students, many of whom will be traveling from coast to coast and in between, trying to find a college that is suitable for their son or daughter. I’ve experienced the college hunt four times in my life, and I can attest to the fact that it is a daunting task. Unless you are fortunate enough to have kids who know exactly where they want to go to college, you either are or will be a road warrior. Most future college students have highereducation wish lists that are pages long. They have some notion about what type of school they want to attend, but after one or two campus visits, their thinking may move dramatically in another direction.
My search for the right colleges was easy in the case of three of our daughters. All of them had one major choice, and we concentrated on how to please the admissions committees of those chosen schools. The fourth daughter had no idea where she wanted to go, but she had a list of 12 possible schools. Because of her uncertainty, we drove to campuses in New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. After all that mileage, she chose a college in New York.
During our exhausting trek around the Northeast, I asked her what criteria she was using in picking potential schools. Her two major sources of information were U.S. News & World Report and the Barron’s guide. I mention these resources because of the current news about how U.S. News recently downgraded Columbia University, based on faulty numbers provided by the school on, for example, the degrees of its professors and the size of its classes. Those reports shined a spotlight on the world of publications that high school juniors and seniors use to select colleges.
There is no doubt that Columbia University is one of the top schools in the nation. It offers a wide variety of programs, and many of its graduates go on to distinguished careers. But Columbia fudged the numbers, and an alert faculty member brought that fudging to wider attention. That created a great deal of negative publicity for the school that got national attention. The underlying question is, how reliable are such sources as a guide to your child’s selection of a college? According to Dr. Robert Scott, a past president of Adelphi University, U.S. News & World Report is one of the “shakers of salt.” Scott believes that many colleges provide questionable data to U.S. News, and that the rankings that emerge are highly questionable. He goes as far as to say that some schools manipulate their numbers in the hope of rising in the rankings. Once a school on the list gets a higher rating, it will market the news in the hope of attracting students who rely heavily on those ratings.
Reed College a well-regarded college in Oregon, took on U.S. News in the 1990s, refusing to submit any data to the magazine. It no doubt lost some potential students, but today its reputation is that of a stellar school. Scott suggests that there are many other reliable college guides that provide meaningful information for aspiring entrants. He cites the Fiske Guide to Colleges as one example of a publication that shows students how their aspirations fit with particular schools. If you search the internet, you will find multiple sources that detail colleges’ course offerings, safety, campus culture and surrounding communities. Don’t pay too much attention to all the student postings, because some are sour grapes due to bad test grades. Choosing a college is a major decision for any family, especially given the cost of higher education. Using as many
JerrY sources of information as possible may kremer be a little confusing, but relying on one or two of the college guidebooks can prove to be a major mistake. Kudos to Scott for speaking out as an expert on this volatile subject.
The process was diffcult enough even when you could trust U.S. News’s rankings.

thing that ever happened. But what about the unquestionably moderate John McCain and Mitt Romney, both of whom were falsely denounced as extremists? Well, the Democrats didn’t want McCain or Romney, so they got Trump, a virtual creation of the left, which is now doing everything possible to keep its creation alive.

Plastic pollution continues to plague us
To the editor:
We’ve all heard the warnings about cleaning up our trash at the beach and recycling, but it’s easy to feel helpless, or that it’s a problem so distant that there’s no point in worrying about it. Well, here on long Island, plastic pollution affects us directly. Not only does it make a mess of our beautiful beaches, but it also threatens wildlife and our vital marine ecosystems. long Island is an extremely important estuary, a breeding ground for fish and other marine wildlife. This means that how we treat our beaches is of utmost importance, and affects fisheries around the world. Historically, however, we lead wasteful lifestyles that lead to plastic pollution, which threatens our ecosystems.
every plastic bag we use, every pair of plastic sunglasses, every phone case we discard takes thousands of years to break down, and usually ends up in our oceans. Besides ruining the natural beauty of our beaches, plastic pollution can have extremely detrimental effects on wildlife, from small fish and shrimp ingesting deadly microplastics to sea turtles and seals getting caught in plastic fishing nets. The population decreases that plastic pollution causes also have the potential to collapse our marine ecosystems, driving away the marine mammals we are beginning to see on the Island for the first time in years.
Although it’s easy to feel helpless in these situations, there are many ways for long Islanders to prevent plastic pollution from getting into our oceans. There are many things you can do in your home, from recycling to reducing your own plastic use and opting for more sustainable alternatives. The New York Marine Rescue Center, a nonprofit rescue-and-release organization, helps treat the many animals that suffer the consequences of plastic pollution, and hosts beach cleanups, whale and seal-watching events, and even an annual 5K. The center is always accepting donations and new volunteers, so we can work together and prevent plastic pollution from destroying our beaches.
