Creating a small town feel in the village

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — April 14, 2022

By LiSa MarGaria lmargaria@liherald.com

Eight businesses and five art tables were a part of Malverne Chamber of Commerce’s second annual Spring Into Business event, which offered business visibility opportunities and family-friendly activities across Hempstead Avenue. Last year, the first-ever Spring Into Business event was a “big success,” Chairwoman of the Chamber’s Board of Directors Kathi Monroe said. Monroe, a former Chamber president, noted the Chamber’s optimism before the second event: “We’re looking forward to a similar outcome for this year,” she said. Mayor Keith Corbett, village trustees and State Assemblywoman Judy Griffin helped kick off the fun and free afternoon, which “had a steady stream of Malvernites smiling, dancing, eating, drinking and shopping,” across the town, Chamber President Maria Casini wrote in an email. The April 2 event was created to give service and non-brick and mortar businesses a networking and self-promotion opportunity, as well as “to shake off the winter blues and get people out into the streets to eat, shop, drink, look at art and have fun,” Casini said. Business owners were able to connect with new and existing clients as well as other Chamber businesses, and Chamber Champ, the organization’s mascot, greeted visitors happily. “Most of the action,” as Casini described it, happened on the corner of Hempstead and Norwood Avenue, by The Bridge Church’s pavilion. Residents and children danced or listened to the tunes pumped out by a DJ that was sponsored by Northwell Health’s Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Valley Stream, and sipped on the free cof-

Coffey Realty Solution sponsored the free mini cupcakes. There were prizes and balloon animals were made on site. Two Of Us Event Planners, a new Malverne business, sponsored the event with balloons. “I thought the event was wonderful,” co-owner Jeanine Marchioli said. “It brought a lot of people into the town and gave small businesses an opportunity to showcase what they offer.” Marchioli appreciated the “small-town feeling” of the village, adding, “we will keep getting involved in all events going on and support other businesses.” “Spring Into Business was an excellent event,” Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett said. “We are proud to work with the chamber to continue with these new energized events in Malverne to ensure that all businesses can thrive.”

Get on over to the Chamber Bunny Hop, Saturday By LiSa MarGaria lmargaria@liherald.com

The Malverne Chamber of Commerce’s free Bunny Hop event is taking place this Saturday. This annual event, previously called the Malverne Chamber of Commerce Easter Egg Hunt, has evolved over the past two years to become a Covid-safe, family event. “Last year, “hundreds of people took part in the Bunny Hop and a good time was had by all,” Chamber President Maria Casini wrote in an email Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett also commented on last year’s event: “What a beautiful event last year — all the kids, all the families had such a great time. I look forward to continuing that tradition with the Chamber.” The village will provide security to ensure a safe environment for this year’s event, Corbett said. The Bunny Hop starts at the Reece Park Gazebo, where children can pick up a map from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Then, Chamber

Champ, the organization’s mascot, will lead the children down Church Street and Hempstead Avenue Hundreds of eggs — filled with toys and treats — will be given out by Chamber members. The event is “a fun day for all,” Chamber Chairman Kathi Monroe said. Free balloon animals are available for the kids, and families will have the opportunity to take photos with the Easter Bunny and Chamber Champ. The Chamber is also raffling off 12 baskets — each worth at least $50 and one worth nearly $150. Raffle tickets went on sale April 11— $2 for one ticket or $6 for 5. The raffle drawing will take place at Malverne Cinema at noon, on April 16, the date of the Bunny Hop. Raffle participants do not have to be in attendance to win. To buy raffle tickets Venmo, Casini @ Maria-Casini. Make sure your name, phone number and the amount of tickets you are purchasing is written on the payment.

He stopped working for PETA last July to focus full-time on LION, and DiLeonardo now focuses on rescuing ducks and other animals across Long Island and spreading a message promoting animal rights. On Jan. 25, he and other activists were arrested at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services building in Washington, where they were protesting taxpayer-funded experiments on monkeys. But that did not discourage him. “I’m glad to be arrested for protesting … because I know that we’re on the right side of history,” DiLeonardo said. “I hope it’s not long before the people harming these animals are the ones being arrested, not the ones shining a light on it.”

Choice awards celebrate those who ‘power’ community By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

After months of waiting, winner after winner stepped up to receive their firstever Herald Long Island Choice award during a gala event with Oscars-like proportions, but without any of the unnecessary drama. The first-ever event — hosted by RichnerLive, presented by PSEG Long Island, and sponsored by TenantBase — took place April 5 at Heritage Club in Bethpage. Voting had been underway since last July where readers and customers shared who they believed were Long Island’s best businesses in more than 260 categories covering everything from breweries to motorcycle dealers to chiropractor. More than 100,000 votes were cast over five months, and both the top three finalists and the eventual winners were recognized at last week’s awards event. Instead of leaving these decisions by a faceless group of judges, these awards are determined by the very people who make these businesses thrive — the customers. That, at least, is according to Amy Amato, corporate relations and events executive director at RichnerLive. Herald Long Island Choice Awards is a way to show businesses how much their work is appreciated. “We decided to do it because we understand the challenges that small businesses

Plus, the cheese is great.” Each table featured an ice sculpture centerpiece celebrating the event, while on the main stage, an acrobat contorted herself in fantastical ways. Stuart Richner, chief executive of Richner Communications Inc., commented on how important local businesses contribution is to Long Island, and how happy he was to get the chance to celebrate them. “It is the people in this room that are the economic engines of our communi-

In a marathon performance, Park read off the winners of the 266 categories in rapid fire. In the ensuing hour, business after business was named winner in a whirlwind of emotional highs. Some were so excited, they jumped up on chairs and tables in celebration. Others chose to celebrate with screams and applause.

Peggy Keane, PSEG’s interim president and chief operating officer, said she was pleased to partner with Herald Community Newspapers to celebrate businesses across Long Island. “This event recognizes all types of businesses that are dedicated to their communities,” she added, in a statement. Those were sentiments also shared by Bennett Washabaugh, chief executive and co-founder of TenantBase. “It was fantastic to see so many small businesses getting out, and the people that power our community,” he said. “It’s just amazing.”

Town of Hempstead officials and rabbis from across Nassau County got together at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Merrick last week to honor the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He was a leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, becoming its seventh rebbe in 1951. Schneerson transformed the Chabad into one of the most widespread Jewish movements, establishing a large network of institutions across the world to serve religious, social and humanitarian needs in the community. In fact, many of these Chabad centers can be found throughout Nassau. Hempstead town officials proclaimed April 12, the rebbe’s birthday this year on the Jewish calendar, as “Education and Sharing Day.” Officials were joined by several Chabad rabbis including Shimon Kramer of MerrickBellmore-Wantagh, Anchelle Perl of Mineola, Zalman Wolowik and Meir Geisinsky of the Five Towns, Yossi Leiberman of West Hempstead, Eli Goodman of Long Beach, Zevi Baumgarten of Oceanside, Mendel Gerkov of Rockville Centre, Nochem Tenenboim of Hewlett, and Shmuel Lieberman at Hofstra University. Congress has recognized Education and Sharing Day every year since 1978 to honor the late rebbe. Because the date it falls can vary on the Gregorian calendar, it usually occurs between late March and late April. “The rebbe’s legacy — for anybody that is standing beside me — is tremendous,” Town Supervisor Don Clavin said. “At a time when we’re seeing people’s faith attacked for who they are — or just for being of the Jewish faith — it’s important that we remember the rebbe’s teaching.”

RABBi ShimON KRAmER of the Chabad of MerrickBellmore-Wantagh shared what he learned from Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson on the rebbe’s birthday. The Town of Hempstead has one of the largest Jewish populations in the United States, Clavin noted, comparable to the size of Jewish communities in New York City. “His work was essential to the expansion of the Chabad dynasty throughout the world,” Clavin added. There are now more than 5,000 Chabad centers worldwide. “They are carrying on the legacy of the rebbe’s teaching and education to the next generation,” Clavin said.

Town Councilman Anthony D’Esposito, who’s district represents parts of the Five Towns where there is a particularly large Jewish population, said Chabads welcome people regardless of their religion to see the world through different glasses. “Here in the Town of Hempstead, we have Chabads. We have community organizations that open their doors each and ever day to celebrate the diversity of this great town,” he said. “It’s an honor to be here to celebrate the great work the rabbis and their staff, and (what) all of the Chabads in the Town of Hempstead do.” Kramer, whose Chabad center hosted the ceremony, recounted some of the lessons he had learned from Schneerson. In fact, Kramer said, 40 years ago, he received a Tanya — a holy book that teaches human selflessness — from the rabbi. “That’s what the rebbe was,” Kramer said. “Always selfless. He was always there for everybody else. I am honored to stand here, with my colleagues — and all of the officials of the town council — to honor the rebbe with what he stood for: education.” Perl further emphasized Schneerson’s belief in education. “The rebbe taught that education in general should not be limited to the acquisition of knowledge,” Pearl said. “Instead, the education system must pay more attention to the building of character, with emphasis on moral and ethical values.” Each Chabad in Hempstead, Clavin said, would receive a commemorative sign in honor of the rebbe and his legacy. “It really is something about education,” the town supervisor said. “That is why we are so honored to join with you, in honor of the rebbe’s 120th birthday. We want to thank you for the work that you do for the children, the adults, and for everybody in all of your communities.”

April 14, 2022 — MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD

Freeing ourselves to help empower others acknowledge that not everyone is free to enjoy their Passover meal (or any meal) in peace, and we’re mindful of our blessings. During a close reading of several verses from the Torah that look at the events leading up to actually leaving Egypt, we discussed not o n ly t h e E xo d u s f ro m Egypt, but the Exodus in Egypt. Before the Israelites could become free physically, they had to begin the process of changing their mind-set and free themselves, spiritually and emotionally. Taking Israel out of Egypt was the easy part; taking Egypt out of the Israelites was another lkodSi story! In order to free ourselves from the bonds that hold us back, before we can emerge from the narrow place into the open wilderness, we need to believe in ourselves and our abilities. One who is enslaved has no control over their life or time; when they eat, work and sleep, they may not even what day it is. It’s no accident that the instructions for preparing to leave Egypt begin with

God saying, “This month shall mark for you the beginning of the months; it shall be the first of the months of the year for you.” (Ex. 12:2). A free people get a calendar and with it, power to mark time for themselves. On Passover we celebrate a Festival of Freedom, but at the same time, we’re mindful that there are people in the world who are still enslaved by other individuals, governments, and circumstances. We teach our children that no one is free unless everyone is free, and we are required as Jews and as humans to work towards a world where all are free. Before we can change the world, we need to change ourselves; to clean out the thoughts and actions that hold us back along with the chametz (leavened foods). The Seder requires each of us to act as though we, personally, had been enslaved in and been freed from Egypt. As we prepare for our Seders and the following days of Passover, may we be blessed to see what has enslaved us, to break free from those bonds, and to work towards the freedom and empowerment of all.

News brief

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — April 14, 2022

This week, a few colleagues and I gathered to spend some time learning with Professor Job Jindo, one of my teachers from the Academy for Jewish Religion. We’re in our third year of dealing with Covid, and for the Malverne Jewish Center, this will be the third year that our community Seder will be on Zoom. All around me I see signs that we’re be ginning to emerge from Mitzrayim, the Hebrew word for Egypt, which literally means, “the narrow places.” Our lives were narrowed; we spent more time confined to our homes; working, learning and worshipping remotely, watching Broadway shows uSan on TV and for many, learning new skills, including baking sourdough bread. Dr. Jindo pointed out that the Passover Seder that took place in Egypt and the Passover Seders we hold now, are very different. Most of us are relaxed, sitting around a table, in contrast to the Israelites who were commanded to eat their meal; hurriedly, “your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand.” (Ex. 12:11).

West Hempstead is already one win away from matching its win total from the 2021 softball season. The Rams, still playing a challenging numbers game with a small roster and no JV program, defeated Roslyn 11-3 in the Conference VI opener April 1 after knocking off Garden City in the season opener a few days earlier. “We’re in a pitcher-friendly conference and we should be competitive every day,” West Hempstead coach Chris Van Kovics said. “The entire conference looks like a toss-up. “We haven’t had strong numbers for a while, but at least this year we have 9 of the 12 girls back from last season,” he added. The Rams finished 3-11 in conference games last spring with one of the victories coming against eventual Nassau Class C champion Oyster Bay. On the flip side, they struggled to hang with the likes of Baldwin, Port Washington and South Side, Van Kovics said. So far in the early going, senior pitchers Isabella Torres and Jenni Axel are both getting the job done. Both struck out 7 in the opener, and Axel followed with 7 more Ks against Roslyn. “It’s a nice luxury to have two pitchers,” Van Kovics said. Isabella worked hard during the offseason with the help of a pitching coach and is greatly improved. She was consistent last year and looks even more consistent now. She’ll play right field when Jenni pitches. Jenni needs to throw strikes to be successful,” he added. Both Torres and Axel are contact hitters who can help the offense as well, the coach noted. Jenni’s twin sister, senior Joey Axel, returns as the starting catcher and is a middle-of-the-order bat. “She has a good arm and plays strong defense, and we also need her to drive in runs,” Van Kovics said. Two of the team’s award winners from a year ago return to lead the infield. Junior shortstop Kayla Pendergast was Honorable Mention All-County and junior Ash-

JuNioR saMaNtha MitChell is one of nine returning players for West Hempstead, which won its first two out of the gate. lee Boodoo (first base) earned All-Conference honors. “They’re both serious about softball and take it very seriously,” Van Kovics said. “Ashley’s our leadoff hitter and when she gets on base, chances are we’re going to score. Kayla will hit somewhere in the 3-4-5 spots all year and covers a lot of ground from short.” Boodoo was a double shy of hitting for the cycle against Garden City and stole home against Roslyn. Juniors Samantha Mitchell and Sara Marini return at third and second base, respectively. Both are quality defenders.

Marini or freshman Danielle Koodsi will play right field when Torres pitches. Mitchell can hit anywhere in the top five, Van Kovics said. Junior Gabriella Koodsi is a versatile outfielder likely to patrol left most of the time, the coach said. Emma Shinsato, who knocked in two runs in the win over Roslyn, is a smooth fielding center fielder also capable of playing second base. In addition to Roslyn, the Rams have Cold Spring Harbor, Great Neck North, Carle Place, Great Neck South, Hewlett and Elmont as conference rivals.

Lewis praises students, street name change part in the Linder Place Project, a student-run campaign that called for the street name to change. “They have become better journalists, videographers, documentarians, and historians through this process,” Lewis said of the effect gathering and presenting information in favor of the name change has had on Malverne’s students. “Last night the Village board took a giant leap forward into the future by unanimously resolving to change the street name,” she added. Quoting Margaret Mead, the British social anthropologist who specialized in colonial education, the superintendent lauded the effort by Malverne students and residents that resulted in the name change: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — April 14, 2022

After the Malverne village board voted unanimously on March 31 to rename Lindner Place, the village street named after Ku Klux Klan leader Paul Lindner, Malverne Union Free School District Superintendent Lorna Lewis released a statement voicing support for the name change and the years-long effort of community members who effectuated it. “Today the entire community of Malverne stands a little taller, and our students have confirmation that their diligent efforts can make a difference for the future,” Lewis said. “Working with members of the community, a group of MHS students researched and presented arguments to the Village of Malverne trustees as to why the name of the street for their elementary school should no longer honor a person who was a local leader of the KKK,” Lewis explained. Indeed, Malverne High School student Olivia Brown played a major role in creating the extensive report detailing Paul Lindner’s leadership of the Ku Klux Klan during the 1920s that led the village board to vote to rename the street. Additionally, Malverne High School students Sabrina Ramhararkh and Kaila Lawrence, with Brown, took

Local baker cooks up a tasty TV victory continued from front page money,” a $25,000 prize. A casting director from the Food Network contacted Perry last May, and three months later she was competing at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City. The whole recording process took nearly two weeks, with days that were up to eight hours long. The most difficult round for Perry was the final episode. Not only was her cake four feet tall, but also she had to remake it twice after a couple of mishaps: it got stuck in its pan, and a remade version rolled off the countertop. “I thought I was gonna just have a meltdown right there, but I pulled it together and I made the cake for a third time,” Perry said. “And you know, in the end it all worked out, but it was so stressful.” In the fourth episode, her favorite one, she made an edible sash — covered with three-dimensional chocolate eggs and rainbow-pastel fondant flowers — and crown to wear on a runway. Her theme was “EGGstravagant Queen.” “That was the episode where I really finally got into my groove and started decorating items the way that I would do them at the bakery,” Perry said. “I started to really get to bring in my own personal style — and being able to walk the runway was a lot of fun.” When the competition came down to the final three bakers in Episode Six, Perry was surprised to find out that she won. “They said my name and I had a

I was super surprised and excited — I was at a loss for words for a moment.” “I told Sydney I knew she was going to win,” said her husband, Jermaine. The $25,000 will go to new bakery

equipment, a family vacation, savings for the Perrys’ son Cameron, 8, and future small-business needs, they said. The family had to keep the results under wraps until the entire series aired. Along with all of the emotions that come with winning, the family was “relieved” to celebrate the win, Jermaine said. “I think [we’re] most-

ly just happy that it’s out and no longer something that we have to hold in,” he said. The couple is also proud that Cameron managed to keep the secret. “He would always catch himself when he knew he was talking too much — he would never spill the beans,” Jermaine said. As soon as the final episode aired, Cameron made an announcement to his third-grade class at Stewart Manor Elementary School in Garden City. “When he saw the finale, he screamed and cheered and hugged [his mother] and it was just like, the sweetest moment,” Jermaine said. “It means so much as a parent to make your children proud, and to let them know that they can, you know, create and be and do anything.” Since the finale aired last week, Sydney’s Sweets has gained nearly 1,000 Instagram followers, and more people from West Hempstead and all across Long Island are stopping by. “There’s more and more people that come in and say like: Oh, I saw you on the Food Network and I didn’t realize you were right by us,” Sydney said. “People that haven’t been in in a long time have seen it and are coming back — so that’s really great.” The bakery is “expecting a big rush this weekend,” Jermaine said. And in response to many customer requests, the chocolate coffee liqueur cake his wife baked in Episode Six is now being added to the Sydney’s Sweets menu.

HOME Of tHE WEEK

• To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

Q. We just bought a house, and want to make a lot of small changes, like taking down the wall between the little kitchen and the dining area to put in an island, and making two bedrooms on the second floor. The house is one story but has room in the attic to make the bedrooms. Do we need to have drawings made to get a contractor? Some we spoke to said no. Do we need a permit if it’s all minor work? Again, some contractors told us we don’t need one, and one said he wouldn’t do the work without one. I’m a developer in the city, but Long Island is so different. In the city, the architect self-certifies the drawings, and a couple of days after the contractor files the job, we have a permit. I’m being told that it can take weeks for our new house to pull a permit, and there is no self-certifying. Is that true?

Fabulous Colonial

agnificent new construction located in the heart of Wantagh. No expense spared on this beautiful home. As soon as you walk through the front door of this sprawling Colonial you will notice the details in every room. You will love the gourmet kitchen, CAC, CVAC, radiant heat in full bathrooms, custom closets throughout the home along with the full basement with OSE. The property is oversized and park like!!!

Ronnie Gerber 516-238-4299

A. There are regulations for the bedroom ceiling height and insulation you must follow, or you will someday be like the several retirees I have dealt with who discovered the expensive truth: Their second-floor bedrooms fail the code requirements of an average ceiling height of 7 feet. New York state building code, which every community, includonte eeper ing New York City, follows (New York City has added restrictions), requires that the minimum height is 5 feet, and the average height is 7 feet. If you take the space width, only from the 5-foot height location and the height at the center, you can calculate average height. I present a cross-section diagram to demonstrate compliance. Many older sellers trying to move to lower-taxed homes discover that they need to do up to $35,000 in alterations to raise roofs and add legal windows for light, ventilation and fire escape requirements as well. A few gave up, passing the problem and a price reduction on to their buyer, causing frustration. You absolutely need permits for the “small” changes, which will end up not being so small when you realize that the wrong beams may be installed by an unqualified person who can tell you they do the same thing “all the time,” without correctly calculated and drawn plans. Most beams they install work for carrying the floor load upstairs, but don’t take into consideration the other factors, such as snow, wind and uplift loads transferred from the roof a story above. All too often I see sagging, barely detectable, wrong-sized beams when I’m meeting with potential clients. Unless there is work to be done in the area of that beam or it looks extremely undersized, I generally remain silent, because most people don’t want to hear about it, never noticed it and really do believe that any old beam will do the job, and the person with power tools knew what they were doing. Only when ceiling cracking appears do they notice. Good luck!

ussia’s brutal attack on Ukraine is being felt around the world — and now, even above it. Russia’s top space official, Dmitry Rogozin, has tweeted that the sanctions imposed on his country by the U.S and Europe are “unacceptable.” He said that cooperation with the U.S. and it allies on the International Space Station may no longer be possible. Rogozin added that the sanctions are intended “to kill the Russian economy, plunge JAmES our people into and bring BERNStEIN despair our country to its knees.” Normal relations with the U.S. and Europe, he said, would only be possible with the lifting of the “illegal” sanctions — something that is highly unlikely to happen in the near future. Rogozin, space experts have said, has a habit of popping off. But Andrew Parton, president of the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, said that the notion of Americans, Europeans and Russians working together in space — which they were doing only a few weeks ago — now “seems awkward.”

“We’re almost at war with them,” Parton said. The Russians were pioneer partners, along with the U.S., the Europeans Space Agency, Canada and Japan, in building the ISS, the largest man-made structure ever constructed and put into space. It had to be assembled in parts, which took place between 1998 and 2000. The first section of the structure was launched in November 1998, aboard a Russian Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodome. The ISS has been circling the Earth for so long now — it became fully operational in May 2009 with a six-member crew that required two Russian Soyuz “lifeboats” to be docked there at all times — that many Earthlings have pretty much forgotten about it, or don’t think of it much. But it remains a phenomenal vehicle, traveling an eye-popping 17,500 mph at an altitude of some 248 miles above Earth. Many have argued that the many billions of dollars spent on the ISS could have been better used on Earth. Others say that man was born to explore, and who knows what we’ll find out there one day? And the ISS has proved valuable. To name a few of its contributions:

■ The ability to view Earth from different perspectives has given scientists a better way to find new sources of water and places to grow food. ■ Protein crystal growth experiments done aboard the station have given medical science better understanding of diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy.

he biggest loss is that yet another tie between major world powers will have been severed.

■ A s t r o n a u t s h ave learned to work in a microg r av i t y e nv i r o n m e n t . Human bodies chang e under such circumstances, and we are now better able to understand how to cope with the challenges we will face as we further explore the cosmos.

■ And students the world over have been given a view of life in space and the possibilities of a world outside our own. But what if Russia quits? The ISS could survive. Just last week, SpaceX, a private company, launched a NASA astronaut and three paying customers to the ISS. Since NASA’s space shuttle program ended in 2011, the agency has relied on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to take our astronauts to the station. But with commercial space companies revving up, we may be able to elimi-

nate our dependence on the Russians to get us up there. Russians help guide the ISS, and use their country’s space vehicles to boost the station to its target orbit when it tends to drift lower. These tasks can be taken over, but it will take effort by the rest of the ISS team, and more funding. The bigger loss, of course, is that yet another tie between major world powers will have been severed. Russian and U.S. diplomats around the world have already been called home. To be sure, Russia must be punished, and punished severely, for its actions in Ukraine. But astronauts and cosmonauts are scientists, and have held themselves above the fray of politics and fraught relationships between their countries. They were able to do so on the most recent return to Earth, in March. Astronaut Mark Vande Hei worried that he might be left behind because of U.S-Russia tensions, after spending 355 days in space. But the Russians ferried him home safely. Joe Montalbano, NASA’s program manager for the ISS, said that those aboard the station last month were “aware of what’s going on, but they still worked as a team.” The question is, how long can we remain teammates?

Family stories help the healing

f you don’t have a sister, I urge you to get one, preferably a younger one, so you can boss her around. But in a pinch, any age will do, and life is all about pinches. My husband recently had surgery to replace a pacemaker, an easy, relatively pain-free event, unless it’s your pacemaker, and your body being altered. My guy is stoic, but he came out of surgery with a corneal abrasion, which was inexplicable on many levels, since the procedure was for his heart. The pain RANDI was extreme and, KREISS although I’m good in a crisis, I found his distress and my helplessness terribly unsettling. Lots of people offered to help in any way they could. The calls and notes and get-well gifts all lifted us up. But only my sister called and said she was on her way. She had booked her flight, she was coming for five days, and that was that. She isn’t the take-over type; that’s my job as the older sister. Once she got here, I still cooked for the three of us and

walked the dog and fetched the meds for the patient. Really, she didn’t do much, unless you count saving my sanity. We discussed important world events, like our hair, and exchanged meaningful gifts: I gave her my Dry Bar brush and she gave me her hot rollers. Like most sibs our age, we’re the only people on Earth who shared childhood with the same parents. Ours died in old age, at 95 and 97, so until the last few years, we took care of them together. This shared experience doesn’t imply shared memories, because we have wildly different accounts of our childhood in Cedarhurst with Mom and Dad. What we do when we’re together is mostly nothing, aside from talking or sharing companionable silence while we read or do stuff on our devices. She paints. I write. We agree on most things in the world except her dog, Moe, a.k.a. Cujo, who is the love of her life, and the only Chihuahua who could take down a cheetah. We tell stories when we sit around, share the news of our kids and grandkids, and realize that memory is unreliable but that it doesn’t matter. The stories

we tell weave the cloth that holds us together. I remember the Thanksgiving her 3-year-old daughter decided she hated the tiny bows on her pink velvet pants and jacket. My brother-in-law, who died many years ago, called a timeout, got a scissors and snipped off every one of the dozens of tiny bows. My sister doesn’t remember this at all. I thought it was a remarkable demonstration of parental forbearance. She also doesn’t remember that our mother assigned me to walk her to her kindergarten when I was in third grade. Every single awful day, my sister would throw herself on the ground, grab my feet and beg me not to leave her there. It didn’t take more than seven or eight years of therapy to deal with that. One story we both remember was our mother’s “talk” with us about sex. She told us an elaborate story about what the male chicken does with the female chicken. When I offered intelligent feedback, starting with, “So you mean when you wanted to make a baby, Dad and you…?” “No!” she screamed. “That’s just with

love kale, but my sister says she would rather chew on her lawn.

chickens.” My sister and I tend to like the same things: We are political allies, and support folks who are trying to keep our democracy from running aground. Of course, there are exceptions to our harmony. I love kale, and she says she would rather chew on her lawn. I suspect she eats pot pie, which to me is dead chicken in a watery grave. She asked me if I remembered the time I was being bullied in sixth grade. I walked her to school and told her I would kiss her goodbye before we got to school so the other kids wouldn’t see. She remembered that I didn’t skip the kiss. I don’t remember that, but I do remember that when I was making out with my boyfriend (now my husband), in the family den back in high school, she would come clomping down the stairs in her rollers and slippers and would accept a quarter to clomp back up. She says she wouldn’t have scrammed for less than 50 cents. So, you see, while my husband healed, my sister and I passed the time with stories. She didn’t do much, unless you count just showing up. Which was everything. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Congress must preserve quality local journalism

free and diverse press is the backbone of a healthy and vibrant democracy. Yet social media and search engine giants like Facebook and Google are taking content from local newspapers — like this one — with little, if any, benefit to those newspapers. But it is readers who are truly harmed by Big Tech’s content-filtering and datacollection motives, which ultimately reduce the output of quality journalism. All of it is simply unfair — to readers, and especially to the newspapers who serve them. Congress must take action to fix this by approving an equitable revenue model similar to what the music industry fought hard for — one that pays royalties to content owners, which ensures that more of that content can be produced in the future. Let’s not forget the important tenets of local newspapers: ■ Quality journalism is key to sustaining civic society, and we must ensure that those who create journalistic content are compensated for their work. ■ With freedom of the press enshrined in the Constitution, it is imperative to take reasonable and meaningful steps to protect this important institution. ■ Local journalism strengthens communal ties, and provides communities with critical information. ■ The public rightfully trusts its local newspapers. One recent survey showed that nearly 75 percent of Americans have confidence in their local newspaper, compared with just over half for national net-

work and cable news. Just 17 percent trusted social media. A bipartisan bill known as the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act is making its way through Congress. It’s sponsored by Senators Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, as well as two congressmen from both sides of the aisle, David Cicilline of Rhode Island and Ken Buck of Colorado. The bill would enable news publishers to collectively negotiate with Big Tech, driving billions of dollars of subscription and ad dollars back to the publishers who produce good journalism in the first place. It would include an enforcement mechanism to ensure that negotiations result in payments, that such payments be evenly distributed to small local papers, and that payments reflect investments in reporters and newsrooms. It would allow market forces — not just two companies or even the government — to determine how, and for what price, news content is offered. American news publications reach more than 135 million people each week. Yet the revenue of these publications has dropped by more than 50 percent in recent years, fueled by mass — and often involuntary — distribution over dominant digital platforms like Facebook and Google. Social media might claim that the redistribution of content actually helps newspapers expand their audiences. But in reality, newspapers provide must-have content for these tech platforms that help them capture visitors. Publishers deserve fair compensation for the value of that content, and it’s just not happening from this so-called audience expansion.

letters Sharing age and perspective To the Editor: Randi Kreiss’s column “Where am I at 75? Reflections from the Edge” resonated with me. I, too, am 75 and can’t believe that number. I stopped working in December 2013, and in January 2014 I launched into the next phase of my life — I went back to school. I enrolled at Nassau Community College for what was supposed to be no more than a four-year stint, planning to take one course per semester. I had the time, and wanted to enjoy the classes, unlike my undergrad and graduate days. Due to a few hiccups along the way — my husband’s back operations, my lymphoma, selling our house and moving during the pandemic — four years turned into 8½. I kept going back, learning computer programs that really challenged me, especially the courses I survived last year in which I created my own portfolio website

Individual news publishers cannot challenge the basic terms offered by Big Tech because these platforms are too big, and smaller newspapers can’t even get a seat at the table. Because of that, Big Tech can grab as much as 70 percent of every ad dollar from news publishers while hiring zero reporters. Newspapers bear all the expense, while social media giants get all the benefit. Facebook and Google exert their dominance over the digital marketplace by setting the rules for news publishers and determining how their work is displayed, prioritized and monetized. More than 65 percent of users don’t even click the links offered by Google that would take them to the outlets that are spending the money to create the content they’re reading. One study showed that 57 percent of New York residents get their news from Facebook. Nearly half use Google as their primary source of news. If Washington doesn’t intervene soon, we will continue to lose hundreds of newspapers — like this one — across the country, and right here in your hometowns. But Congress needs to know it has your support in order to act. Reach out to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer at (212) 486-4430, or U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand at (212) 688-6262. Call U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice at (516) 739-3008, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi at (631) 923-4100, or U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino at (516) 541-6602. Our democracy depends on local media like the newspaper you hold in your hands. The idea is so important that it’s part of the First Amendment, enshrined in the Bill of Rights. But local media also depends on you.

opinions

ecently I joined the Nassau County Legislature’s majority caucus, numerous veterans groups and County Executive Bruce Blakeman to announce the creation of a program using American Rescue and Recovery Act funds to provide grants of up to $10,000 to every eligible veterans hall in the county. At the height of the pandemic, many Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and American Legions were facing major difficulties paying rent, property taxes and mainteBiLL nance on their venues. Veterans GayLoR halls were forced by lockdowns to cancel catered events and other functions, and that took away necessary income these halls need to survive. At the time, veterans groups weren’t eligible for ARPA funds under guidance issued by the federal government. After advocating for making those organizations eligible for that federal assistance, we received notification earli-

er this year from the U.S. Treasury Department that ARPA guidelines were being expanded to encompass 501(c)(19) entities, which includes veterans facilities. The new rule took effect on April 1. Veterans and fraternal halls are part of the very fabric of our community, and there are approximately 100 of them in Nassau County. As a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who will always be a strong supporter of the brave men and women who have admirably served this county, I know firsthand the important role these facilities serve. With all that veterans have done and are continuing to do for our nation and communities, there never should have been a question of eligibility. I am pleased to know that our efforts proved successful, and that this program will help these veterans groups as part of their ongoing recovery from the pandemic. I also wanted to mention a couple of other matters of significance. First, residents are reminded that the property tax grievance filing deadline that was extended by the County Legislature to give peo-

eterans of Foreign Wars posts and American Legions are still reeling from the pandemic.

LetteRs — I learned to code! It’s been an amazing and rewarding journey, which I completed despite the comments from friends and family: “What do you need this for?” “Are you going to get a job?” (No.) “Why are you making yourself crazy?” I learned that I could access parts of my brain that I didn’t know existed. I learned that I really am an artist — what a relief to finally own this part of myself. I did have people on my side — a very supportive husband and the professors who took me seriously at Nassau. Our two kids are doing well, and our grandkids are getting poised to launch. And yes, we, too, are “drifting to the wings of the family stage.” Despite that, or because of it, I’ve decided to “walk” at NCC’s graduation in May. My two grandsons said they would come. Thanks, Randi, for the years of introspective columns, many of which resonated with this 75-year-old. BARBARA KAPLAN Rockville Centre

We're in a good place To the Editor: Randi Kreiss’s column spoke to me so completely. At 73 years old, I have become very content with who I am. I’m more reflective and understanding. Simple pleasures satisfy me. And most important, I’m in the present. Thanks, Randi, for articulating what

ple more time to challenge their assessments will expire on May 2. I’ve posted a video on my website on how to file a grievance. You can visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/ld6 and watch it by clicking the link to the video. Remember, you don’t need to pay a law firm or agency to file a tax grievance. To get information on your specific property, go to https://lrv.nassaucountyny. gov. Forms and applications can also be found at www. nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/ARC/forms.html. Second, earlier this month, the Legislature’s majority caucus and the Town of Oyster Bay initiated a collection drive to assist the people of Ukraine, and opened drop-off locations at various county and town facilities. Recently I helped load the last boxes filled with donations from generous residents to be shipped overseas. Overall, more than 45,000 pounds of much-needed supplies, including medical items and personal hygiene products, were sent to the Port of New York and New Jersey, where they will be shipped to Poland and ultimately distributed to

Ukrainian refugees. Finally, the State Legislature is considering legislation that would give the state control of the Nassau University Medical Center, and ultimately lead to partial or complete closure of the facility. NUMC is the only county-owned hospital in Nassau County, and has the only state-of-the-art burn center for miles around, as well as one of the best trauma centers on Long Island. The hospital serves not just residents of the East Meadow area, but also many from across the county who are under-insured, as well as students from the local colleges and many members of nearby minority communities. This effort is nothing more than a political move by Albany that would hurt Nassau County. NUMC should be run by county residents, for county residents. It should not be a pawn in a political tug of war, and I will continue to fight to ensure that the hospital remains under the county’s control, and not bureaucrats in Albany. Bill Gaylor is a Nassau County legislator representing the 6th District, which comprises Malverne, Lynbrook, North Lynbrook, Valley Stream, North Valley Stream and portions of Franklin Square, Hewlett, Rockville Centre and Woodmere.

They'll all wear No. 42 To the Editor: Friday marks the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first major league baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a milestone for integrating the sport. It was a time when working- and middle-class men and woman of all ages, classes, races and religions commingled, rooting for Robinson and his teammates regardless of ethnic origin. Brooklynites could ride the bus, trolley or subway to Ebbets Field to see their beloved Dodgers. Everyone could afford a bleacher or general admission seat. Hot dogs, beer and souvenirs were reasonably priced. Just as Jackie Robinson fought racism in the 1950s, the Detroit Tigers’ Hank Greenberg had to do the same with antisemitism in his time. Robinson and Greenberg both document the long-lasting relationship between African-Americans and Jewish sports fans standing together for decades in support of one another. LARRY PENNER Great Neck
