History at Garden City 5K event Ex-Malvernite is first woman to win a road race By JAKE PEllEGRINo jpellegrino@liherald.com

Kylie Pearse Lupica’s former high school cross-country coach, Marty Brown, changed her life forever when he introduced her to the sport she loves 15 years ago. Now, she’s showing him how much their hard work has paid off, making history earlier this month at the 2022 Tomorrow’s Hope 5K at the St. Joseph School in Garden City.

On April 2, Lupica, 29, formerly of Malverne and a Kellenberg Memorial High School alumna, finished first overall in the race, making her the first woman in Nassau County to win a public open road race. Tomorrow’s Hope is a Uniondale-based nonprofit that supports Catholic education on Long Island. Its annual 5K is one of Long Island’s largest athletic events supporting Catholic schools. This year’s race was the sev-

enth annual, and the first one contested in person since 2019, raising $20,000. The event has raised a total of more than $120,000 since its inception seven years ago. “I actually didn’t know that this was the first time a woman has won, so that’s pretty cool,” said Lupica, who now lives in Philadelphia. “As an alumni, I was pretty excited to bring home the win for my school.” Continued on page 11

Democratic candidates talk environment By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

Can you sum up all your environmental positions into two-minute sound bites? That’s what the four Democratic candidates seeking to replace U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice were asked to do last week, taking the stage at Hofstra University’s Breslin Hall to talk about the planet just in time for Earth Day. Malverne village mayor Keith Corbett spoke on big projects like tapping into a large untouched aquifer under Long Island, and focusing on offshore wind farms. “We need to educate and train the next generation of workers,” he told moderator Julie Tighe, president of the New York League of Conservation Voters. Claiming that shore strengthening would save money in the long run, it would still “cost $800 to $900 million to build that infrastructure, “ Corbett said “It’s worth building that infrastructure protecting the rest of the property when it’s going to be $800 billion if a Superstorm Sandy were to come through again.” Joining Corbett on the stage were Carrié Solages, Laura Gillen and Kevin Shakil-Mendez. When it comes to the Long Island State Park system, Corbett says “there is already money set aside in the Department of Transportation budget” for changes like electric buses, trains and charging stations — all of which could

Solages, a county legislator who represents Elmont, Valley Stream and parts of the Five Towns, wants to attack the waste crisis, bringing it to a “sustainable zero” by 2030. He’d accomplish it by offering incentives to companies to invest in limited waste, recycling and sustainable practices. “The federal gover nment cannot require our state government to do any-

thing,” he said, “but one thing the federal government can do is provide incentives for our state government and village governments to get stuff done. We know local governments will take advantage (to) limit waste, promote more compost programs, (and) more usage of recyclables.” Gillen said environmental issues have been a “priority for her administration” when she was a Town of Hempstead

supervisor. Speaking heavily on infrastructure, her plan is to move away from fossil fuels by strengthening the electrical grid. She also wants to shift from a dependency on cars to more walkable communities. “If you’re going to set up a regulatory system where you’re going to monitor air quality- and monitor water quality and make sure that the standards are applied in all communities, there has to be an enforcement mechanism,” she said. Shakil-Mendez, a 29-year-old political newcomer from Westbury, said it was last year’s Jamaica Ash & Rubbish Removal Co., fire in his town that spurred him to run for Congress. He went door-to-door handing out KN95 masks after the sixalarm fire, to help protect his neighbors from the smoke and fumes from the smoldering debris. “When I went on-site, I could still smell the smoke and the fumes going into my lungs,” he said. “When you talk environmental justice, nothing was done for this community.” He stayed away from many other specifics, saying he would consult scientists and experts to help create bills. He also wants to look closely at what Europe is doing when it comes to environmentalism, and duplicate that on Long Island — like placing small wind turbines on the sides of main roads, harnessing energy from passing traffic. The winner of this primary is expected to face Town of Hempstead Councilman and Republican Anthony D’Esposito in November.

Local synagogues remember the Holocaust wsheeline@liherald.com

Holocaust Remembrance Day is commemorated every year in the United States and Israel at this time of the year to remember the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto uprising that lasted nearly a month. Three Long Island synagogues, numerous human rights organizations and minority communities have teamed up to memorialize the lives lost during the Holocaust, and speak out against hatred today. The Yom HaShoah Holocaust Remembrance Day will be held over Zoom at 7 p.m. on May 1. It has been hosted by Congreration Shaaray Shalom in West Hempstead for the past 57 years. Over the years the event has grown to include the Malverne and Valley Stream Jewish centers. Roughly five years ago, the event took on a larger significance when Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League for 28 years was the keynote speaker. The Anti-Defamation League is one of the largest international Jewish non-governmental organizations in the world that focuses on civil rights. According to Shaaray Shalom’s rabbit, Art Vernon, that the remembrance event took on a larger significance. “Foxman is an internationally known figure in the fight against anti-Semitism and hate of all kinds, so we were on a new level,” Vernon explained. “And every year since then, we have upped the ante and its kept growing. It’s really one of the most elaborate events of its kind on Long Island.” Subsequently, they have had several other international speakers, including

CONGREGAtION SHAARAy SHALOm in West Hempstead hosted 450 viewers on Zoom last year for the event, some from as far as Florida. an acting consul general of Israel, Israel Nitzan. This year, the speaker will be Father Patrick Desbois. Desbois is a professor at Georgetown, historian, forensic detective and human rights activist based in Paris. Author of the book ‘Holocaust By Bullets’, a documentation of the murder of 1.5 million Jewish Ukrainians by Nazi mobile units, Desbois is the founder of the NGO Yahad-In Unum, dedicated to uncovering genocidal practices wherever they are found around the world. Desbois maintains that especially today, it is of utmost importance and every person’s duty to look to the past and not forget the atrocities humanity can be capable of.

“I see this not only as an opportunity, but as a necessity to teach this not only as history, but as a crime,” Desbois said. “Not only as the biggest story, but the names of the criminals and the victims and the guns they used, so people understand today if you shoot a Jew in Paris or kick a Jew in Brooklyn, it’s not a detail. It’s part of a machine, part of this history.” The event itself will largely be held over zoom, although Vernon, the congregation’s cantors and a few others will be at the synagogue in person. To start, the recorded survivor testimony of Gabi Held, a Polish Jewish survivor who lived on Staten Island but died last year, will be played for the audience.

Mindy Perlmutter, executive director of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Long Island, mentioned how important it was to have a firsthand account of the Shoah, to remind people the gravity of the tragedy. “It’s such an important thing, and we’re so lucky some people had the foresight to sit [the survivors] down and record them,” Perlmutter said. “Even though we’re losing that generation, we can still hear them speak and give their testimonies in their own voice.” Desbois will then speak, and the ceremony will conclude with the lighting of six candles, to represent the six million Jewish people murdered in the Holocaust. However, it’s not just the Jewish victims of the Holocaust that will be remembered and memorialized at this event. In addition to the traditional six candles, this year an additional seventh candle will be lit. This will commemorate the roughly five million others killed by the Nazis, which included Romani people, the disabled, LGTBQ+ people, and Slavs from several countries. Representatives from several of these groups, as well as members of the Muslim, Uygher, Latinx, African-American and other communities who have experienced persecution, will also be in attendance. Larry Rosenberg, former president of Congregation Shaaray Shalom and chair of the event, detailed the importance of broadening the scope of the event to accommodate a wider focus. “Primarily, the fundamental focus is to remember the Holocaust,” Rosenberg elaborated. “But we must ask the question, what are the lessons we’ve learned that can apply to the world today?”

Former Malverne resident releases debut single By JAKE PELLEGRINO jpellegrino@liherald.com

Nino Lopez, a native Malvernite who now lives in Alpharetta, Georgia, knows that life comes at you fast, which is why he couldn’t let the opportunity to pursue his life’s passion pass him by. Lopez had spent most of his career as an entertainment journalist and publicist, most prominently for Black Noir Magazine, working in what he calls a “behind the scenes” capacity but where he really wanted to be was in the spotlight. “Once I started getting busy as a journalist and a publicist I kind of had to put those music dreams to the backseat in favor of what was making me money, which was my career as a journalist,” Lopez said. “But a few years ago, as I was nearing my 40th birthday, I decided that it was time to pursue my dreams and aspirations that I always wanted to.” So, he got to work. “After writing my debut novel called Headlines and as I was starting to write the sequel, I said ‘you know what, I think I want to release some music,’” Lopez said. “So, I got into the studio with a few producers and one song turned into two, which turned into four and then five and I came away with a nice body of work.” His first single from that ‘body of work’ called “Somebody From My Past” was released April 15. “I wrote it from my own experiences,” Lopez said. “It’s about one of those times where somebody who once

mALvERNE NAtIvE NINO Lopez released his debut single on April 15. meant a whole lot to you is now just somebody from your past and should probably remain that way.” He says that “Headlines,” released July 2021, is a semiautobiographical love story. “It’s loosely based on a period of my life,” Lopez said. “It’s about a young entertainment journalist coming up in the business. He’s got a lot of friends and is thriving in his career and in his travels he meets a young male R&B sing-

er and they become friends and then more than friends and it’s about the ups and downs of their relationship.” His says his fascination with music began in high school and that the song is inspired by his affinity with music with strong lyrical significance. “I love a good strong lyric and music that evokes a feeling and emotion in you,” Lopez said. “Luther Vandross, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey are some of my favorite artists. A good strong ballad is something I’ve always been drawn to. Even as a very young kid, I wasn’t really drawn to the pop songs like most kids but more the emotional music.” “Somebody From My Past” is only the beginning for Lopez, as he already has those four other songs recorded and plans to release a new one every two to three months, with the first one titled, “Sleepwalking” to be released in June. “It’s a dance pop song; a real catchy song to get up and dance to,” Lopez said. “Lyrically, it’s about the desire of wanting a relationship with somebody and seeing that person in your dreams. With June being pride month, I thought it would be a great time to release it.” Now, Lopez will be returning to Long Island to perform some of his work at a live “Sip & Sing” event at G’s in West Hempstead on June 5 at 8 p.m. “Somebody From My Past” is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music and all major music streaming platforms. Additionally, “Headlines” is available for purchase at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Players not happy with state parks’ decision continued from front page tennis and we looked forward to it. When you get to a certain age and you can use your body still, you’re happy about that. Now, this is a road block to our wellbeing.” Keefe denied that members will get priority but added that although walk-ons are accepted, online reservations are preferred, allowing players to know the availability of their court in advance. But that’s another roadblock, Fischman said. “I know there are some people at this age who are uncomfortable using their computers, so some of them said, ‘Can you sign up for me?’” Fischman said. “It just all happened without our knowing about it and now all of a sudden it’s before us.” Another aspect of the plan that irks some players is the implementation of a system that allows courts to be reserved for the entire season, where there was no such system before. “One thing that I don’t care for is that I understand you can reserve a day and time for the entire season,” Harriet Kalish, another player, said. “If you want to play at 9 a.m., for example, you used to be able to stay in your house until it was time to leave without worrying about getting in line. Now, it’s whatever’s left after the reservations are made.” When asked why she doesn’t simply

SportTime is expected to take control of the courts next week. make a reservation for the season, Kalish said, “I don’t know if I want to commit for the full season and pay my money upfront for four months. If I were going to do other things, I might not want to lock myself in for all that time. And it’s not just my schedule I have to think about — it’s everyone else on my team. If someone

wanted to go away for a few weeks, we have to try to find someone to take her place.” Fischman said that despite the challenges created by the plan, she understands the potential benefits for the state. “I guess what it is, is they feel it would be more profitable if it’s run by profes-

sionals, which is kind of a sad story about our government,” Fischman said. “‘Hey, privatize it and it will go better.’” Keefe said that the partnership will allow for substantial capital improvements to the facility, including renovations to the men’s and women’s locker rooms and an upgraded clubhouse/welcome center. Additionally, it will allow for new programs, including adult tennis lessons and children’s summer camps. Fischman added that something about a private company operating a facility within a state park still doesn’t sit right with her. “It is a state park and it feels like the state should belong more to the people,” Fischman said, “especially since we used this facility for about 10 years and the fact that we’re the customers and we had this forced upon us.” Fischman said that they fought the partnership but admitted that it already appears to be a “done deal,” as SportTime’s website states that the facility will be opening on May 2. “We wrote to all our legislators and [Gov. Kathy] Hochul and [U.S. Senator Charles] Schumer,” Fischman said. “We went to the parks commission; we went to everybody. We were nicely organized for people who had other things in their lives to do.” SportTime could not be reached for comment as of press time.

Hochul touts budget fixing potholes, colleges jpellegrino@liherald.com

Some might say it’s been a bumpy road of late for Kathy Hochul, with some of the ongoing turmoil inside her leadership team. But it was a different kind of bumpy road on the governor’s mind last week when she stopped by Kennedy Memorial Park in Hempstead. More specifically, pothole-laden roads. “I’ve been to Long Island many times, and everybody always complains about the potholes,” Hochul said. “Nobody has hit more potholes in the state of New York than I have because I’ve traveled 372,000 miles — not by plane. All by road.” The potholes on Long Island always give Hochul the biggest welcome, she said, “because they’re enormous.” That should change with the implementation of her $1 billion “Operation Pave Our Potholes” program, intended to resurface 480 lane miles of state highways, including key sections of the Long Island Expressway, Southern State Parkway and the Meadowbrook State Parkway. And as motorists wait for local roads to get smoother, Hochul officially declared an easier time on their wallets, too, as Albany joins Nassau and Suffolk counties to suspend the sales tax on gasoline beginning June 1 and continuing on until the end of the year. “How about those gas prices?” Hochul asked. “My God, we couldn’t have (foreseen) this, but the invasion by Putin into

Ukraine had a ripple effect around the globe and the economy. It’s hard for families just trying to get to their kids’ soccer game or take a family vacation, so we decided we can do a short-term fix.” The state tax break would remove the 16 cents per gallon levy New York places on gas, joining the nickel per gallon Nassau County suspended on any gas price over $3. A gallon of regular gas on Long Island averaged $4.14 this past weekend, according to AAA, down 17 cents from a month ago. Still, gas is up 43 percent from last year when a gallon of regular went for just under $2.90. Hochul also promised improvements for commuters, including the completion of the Long Island Rail Road’s third track of the east side access project leading from Grand Central Terminal, and the launch of the second phase of the $700 million Ronkonkoma Hub project. “We’re changing infrastructure — it’s not just about roads,” Hochul said. “This is an opportunity to lift people’s spirits and give a sense that our commuters matter. We can do dull dishwater infrastructure, or we can do something that matters and make a statement. And this is that opportunity.” The state also will commit $500 million for the development of an offshore wind port infrastructure and supply chain, Hochul said, expected to bring in more than $2 billion in economic activity and more than 2,000 green jobs.

GOv. KAthy hOchuL speaks at Hempstead’s Kennedy Memorial Park about the budget she and lawmakers finally finished in Albany. Money is earmarked not only for crumbling state roads, but to give a break at the gas pump as well. Even if it’s a small one. “We’re going to turn the corner on mankind’s assault on Mother Nature,” Hochul said. “It has to end, and it’s going to end on our watch. What we did to build back our state is going to be part of our post-pandemic legacy.” On the education front, $500 million is earmarked for SUNY and CUNY campuses — schools Hochul said transforms families, including her own. “My parents, at one time, lived in a trailer park, and my dad worked at a steel plant,” the governor said. “What got them out of those circumstances was my dad

getting a college degree while working at the steel plant. That degree allowed him to do something different with his life instead of just working with his hands making steel.” Additionally, $50 million will support a partnership between Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Stony Brook University to create an artificial intelligence lab. Part-time students also will be eligible for the state’s Tuition Assistance Program, and Albany will allocate $7 billion to ensure child care is available on all SUNY and CUNY campuses.

Malverne baseball was simply dominant in its rubber match against Valley Stream South, as the host Mules won 11-1 in five innings on April 21. The game ball from this comprehensive win went to Yadier Tavarez, who not only got on base in both of his atbats, but also was nearly untouchable on the mound, ceding a single run in what was a complete game. Malverne coach Joe Dunn knew this type of performance was possible for Tavares, it just came down to him finding the zone. “Yadier was pumping the zone throwing strikes,” Dunn said. “He didn’t walk anyone. We told him before the game, if you just throw strikes then we are going to win the game.” Lucky for Tavares and the Mules as a whole, his pitching performance was complemented with plenty of run support. Every starter for the Mules got on base at least once, which is more impressive considering only a few kids hit more than twice due to the condensed game as a result of a 10-run lead after five innings. The big inning came in the fourth, where the Mules scored six runs. Tavares led off with a walk, and then Parker Mercado, Liam Flynn, Matt Merkel, Matt McKeon and Keondre Greene each reached base safely. No single player had a shot or hit more impressive than the other, but the group’s comprehensive ability to make contact and get on base was the catalyst for the monster inning. Greene also had the ‘walk off ’ hit in the fifth inning, as this RBI knock clinched the run mar-

The Mules improved to 6-2 and two days earlier handed the Falcons their first defeat of 2022. Merkel picked up the win on the mound and helped his own cause by going 4-for-5 at the plate in a 15-5 road victory. Mercado drove in four runs and Greene went 3-for-3. Funny enough, the first two games of this series were mirror images of each other but with different results. Valley Stream South took the opening game of the series,

15-4, its ninth straight win to start the season, on April 18. Ryan Rivera was the winning pitcher and Nico Alvarez (three RBIs), Mikey Hernandez (four runs) and Peter Greif (four runs) provided the bulk of the offense. “In the first game, we took advantage of walks and misplays and then the next day the tide turned and then they took of those games, “VSS coach Rich Hess said. Valley Stream South is still a solid 9-2 as well as a scholar-

athlete club. “We have had some growing pains, and it’s due to youth and inexperience but the kids are fantastic,” Hess said. “They come to practice and are ready to work. We are just having an inexperience issue.” Hernandez did have one of the hardest hit balls of the series finale, as his double in the fifth brought home Nick Parisi for its lone run. Hess also noted that Hernandez “wreaks havoc on the basepaths.”

WE NOW DO ALL KINDS OF MASONRY WORK!

A. There are many items to include in your thought process for finishing your basement. Mistakes are made, first, by ever assuming that the people doing the work know the laws. The biggest problem I see is that the ceiling is just a little too low, that someone dropped the entire ceiling level just because of one pipe. The onte eeper minimum ceiling height in the current code is 6 feet 8 inches clearance, with 6 feet 4 inches under the center beams, air ducts or soffits anywhere in the basement. Always leave access for shutoff valves, wiring connections, cleanouts and other controls. If you need to move pipes that were installed without any care for your future use of the basement, move them. Piping should go around the perimeter of the basement, no matter what excuse you hear. Because of poor planning and even worse execution, pipes are the No. 1 problem, because someone thoughtlessly put them in a place that was good for them and not for you. The ceiling finish can be sheetrock in the larger areas with perimeter “hung” track ceilings outfitted with removable ceiling tiles. Again, even those lowered perimeter and under-beam soffits need to be no less than 6 feet 4 inches above the floor. Tall firefighters need to avoid hitting their heads when they’re running though your smoke-filled basement to rescue you or your loved ones. Although you know you need an escape well window or exterior door entry, placement of the well in some side or front yards can cause a code violation if it’s closer than allowed to a property line. Verify your setback requirements for your zone, and even confirm that with an official at your local building department. Many jurisdictions require a permit with plans and inspections, so don’t forget these important requirements. There are so many people who are frustrated that their contractor didn’t tell them that they needed a permit, and even worse, that they now have a violation that requires reconstruction to pass inspections. Don’t be one of those people. Other important issues include what to do with enclosing your heating equipment, putting laundry sinks and washing machines too close to the main electrical service panel, using the wrong kind of wall studs for perimeter walls, not insulating correctly and forgetting to put handrails on the access stairs, inside and out. Heating equipment, to the code, must follow the manufacturer’s specifications. Installers rarely leave a manual. Sometimes the internet helps. There must be 5/8-inch type X gypsum board on the ceiling extending at least 1 foot in each direction around the boiler. Best of luck!

Q. Our basement is unfinished, and we plan to put in walls and a finished ceiling. We know we need an escape window, but what are your suggestions on other things, like the kind of ceiling? I’m thinking about just sheetrock, but what kind of access do you recommend for the pipes and wires I’ll need to get to?

Answers

to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

eople have called him many things — kind, loving, helpful, funny. I’ve heard him described as meticulous. But to me and my siblings, he’s simply Dad. This year my father turns 89. He still drives. He still goes to church, where he displays his musical talents on the organ, which he taught himself to play. He lives just blocks from my stepmother, who is in an assisted-living facility with severe dementia. He spends as much time there as he can. MiCHAEL My dad loves his wife, his family, HinMAn his spiritual home, and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don’t think anyone was more excited about Tom Brady making the move from Boston. But when I think about my dad, more often than not, my smile turns to tears. Not about anything he did — he was and still is a great man — but because of what someone did to him. My dad was meticulous as he divided a large stack of cash into separate envelopes. His hands shook with fear as he packed each envelope carefully into a box to send off to who knows where. This was

$20,000 — money my father, a retired railroad welder, didn’t even have. It came from a loan, one he continues to make payments on today. The worst part was that my dad knew he was being scammed. He knew that if he told me or any of my siblings, we would stop him. We would help him. But the scammers on the other end of that phone scared him so much that fear overcame reason and logic. I’ve recently discovered a YouTube channel called Scammer Payback. It’s led by a cybersecurity expert known only as “Pierogi,” who targets the scammers who have their sights on our parents, our grandparents, our sisters and brothers — really anyone we love. Pierogi ties the scammers up on the phone for hours. He hacks into their computers and steals their files, turning all of what he unearths over to the authorities. He has identified the leading scam operations overseas, and pushed for police to arrest them. And he’s personally called people targeted by scammers — many of whom have been victimized for years — to help them break free. Scams are nothing new, but the scope of such fraud and theft today is unprecedented. The Federal Trade Commission’s

Consumer Sentinel Network reported 4.8 million complaints of consumer fraud and identity theft in 2020 — up 45 percent from the year before. Nearly half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020, according to the Aite-Novarica Group. Nearly half. That cost all of us more than $700 billion at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. In recent weeks, AARP Long Island and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have hosted a series of webinars with the RichnerLive arm of Herald Community Newspapers to explore all kinds of fraud —identity theft, elder fraud and, this week, romance scams. I’ve been honored to moderate these panels, which have included expert advice from AARP New York’s Long Island associate state director, Bernard Macias, as well as USPIS experts like Donna Harris, Michael Del Giudice and Joseph Marcus. We’ve learned so much. If someone calls you and asks you to send money — for any reason — be skeptical. If they want to get on your computer, say no. If they ask you to use gift cards, or tell you that you must provide them with sensitive personal information, hang up. Most important, be careful what you share. Facebook is a great way to connect

early half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020.

to those we love, but it’s also a great way for scammers to collect a ton of personal information about you — information they can weaponize in an effort to empty your bank account. Be careful about how you dispose of papers containing sensitive details about you. Scammers will dig through your garbage, and they will find exactly what they need to take what rightfully belongs to you. Join us for our final installment in the Fighting Against Fraud series on Thursday, April 28, at noon. You don’t even have to leave your living room — we’ll come right to your computer. Just register at LIHerald.com/romance. And then protect yourself by shredding sensitive documents. If you don’t have a shredder, we’ll do it for you. Bring those documents to our offices, at 2 Endo Blvd. in Garden City, this Saturday, April 30, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and we’ll shred them. Just register in advance, at LIHerald.com/shred. My dad will never see that $20,000 again. So many more like him have lost money that is now counted in the billions. But it doesn’t have to continue. We can fight scammers by being vigilant, and by educating ourselves, so we — and those we love — are never victimized again. Michael Hinman is the executive editor of the Herald Community Newspapers. He can be reached at mhinman@liherald.com.

Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?

ast night, having been off my devices all day and peacefully oblivious to the news, I turned on the TV as I slipped into bed just to catch up. Now, you know and I know that I shouldn’t have done that, but I was feeling out of touch, so I flipped from MSNBC to CNN and Fox to see what was up with the world. The news was so horrific that it almost seemed like satire. In TV anchor rapidspeak, reporters from around the country and the world told me that: mass graves had RAnDi been found in and KREiss around Mariupol, Ukraine, as Russian forces closed in on the besieged city; wildfires were burning out of control in parts of New Mexico; Israeli and Gaza militants were at war; Florida Gov. Rick DeSantis was punishing Disney for supporting gay rights by removing its tax breaks; new audio had revealed that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy talked trash about thenPresident Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection; Florida was banning math books for alleged inappropriate “prohibit-

ed” topics, like race; and — oh, no — Netflix was cracking down on shared accounts. Sleep was out of the question. In between news segments, just to keep the anxiety level in the stratosphere, commercials from an animal rights group showed bone-thin dogs chained outside in the freezing cold. The voice-over begged for contributions to save these wretched pups. I love dogs more than people, but this commercial feels like an assault, and it doesn’t make me feel like giving more money; it makes me feel like changing the channel. That was my news experience last evening, which brings me to my question of the day: Walter Cronkite, where are you when we need you? I am certain that 24-hour news screaming at us from every device we own is detrimental to our health. The American Psychological Association states that “news consumption has a downside … More than half of Americans say the news causes them stress … anxiety, fatigue or sleep loss.” We were much better off when TV news was broadcast once or twice daily for 15 or 30 minutes. When I was a kid, my parents

watched the news at 6 and 11 p.m. For millions of viewers, CBS anchor Walter Cronkite was the voice of reason, truth and journalistic integrity every night during those brief news shows. There were no alternative facts, and “fake news” wasn’t even a blip in the nascent Trump brain. For those of you too young to remember, in 1962 Cronkite became anchorman of CBS’s newscasts. Think about it: 15 to 30 minutes of news a day on CBS or the other major channel, NBC. That was it. Cronkite didn’t have coiffed hair or trendy clothes. He made his bones as a war correspondent in World War II, flying with the U.S. Army Air Force in bombing raids over Germany. After the war, he covered the Nuremberg Trials. In 1950 he was recruited by Edward R. Murrow, another broadcast icon, at CBS News. He interviewed President John F. Kennedy to launch the first 30-minute news broadcast in September 1963, and less than three months later, on Nov. 22, he announced the death of the president on live TV. I was 16 years old. I watched, stricken, as Cronkite removed his glasses and struggled to regain his composure.

e's been replaced by 24-hour news screaming at us from every device.

In the decades since, the news on TV and online has evolved into a circus of both information and misinformation reported by anchors who range from the sublime to the ridiculous to the truly grotesque. TV personalities tell us the news, as it is selected and edited by their researchers and producers. Because the news is now broadcast 24/7, there are thousands of hours of filler and fluff beaming out at us all day and all night long. What can we do? What agency do we have with this news tsunami coming at us every hour of the day? How to stay informed and still stay sane? We are left to our own devices in more ways than one, and we need to do the most difficult thing, which is to find balance. We honor the brave correspondents who bring news of the war in Ukraine, and we honor the TV and newspaper reporters whose mission every day is to shine a light in the darkness. We need the news, but we need to calibrate our consumption. My new rule is no news before bedtime. No “notifications” on my phone. Our devices beam out information and disinformation indiscriminately. Some of it informs, but much of it triggers anxiety. We must know, and we have to teach our children, how to tell the difference.

Hello, county Human Rights Commission?

ucy Pozo fought hard not to let the people sitting in front of her see her cry. The senior at East Rockaway High School stood before the district’s Board of Education after a Donald Trump flag surfaced during the school’s annual Sports Night event last month. For Pozo, it wasn’t just about what the former president stands for, but what the display of such a flag said about some of her classmates. Some of the same people she believes target her because of her Hispanic heritage. “East Rockaway schools have failed me,” she said. “That flag, the reason why nobody was talking about it that day, is because we’re scared.” Just weeks later, there was an outcry of a different sort in Rockville Centre. A woman there who was reportedly troubled by a large menorah in front of a Chabad center — a display she said was the beginning of an Orthodox Jewish push into the community reminiscent of what has happened to the Five Towns over the past couple of decades. If the Orthodox community does move into Rockville Centre, the woman said, they will force businesses to close for the Sabbath. They will take over school boards, and send money away from the district. And then they will sell those schools “to the highest bidder.” Many called the Rockville Centre woman’s comments antisemitic, and it’s nearly impossible not to agree. Pozo’s comments, however, were followed by a number of

letters The Cuomos don’t need career advice To the Editor: Who is letter writer Larry Penner (“Career advice for the Cuomos,” March10-16) to tell two private citizens what to do with their time? Who is Larry Penner to tell a private citizen what to do with his money? The matter of Andrew Cuomo spending his campaign war chest on advertising is a matter between him, his donors and the campaign finance officials. The right to tell one’s side of the story is a basic American right. So long as he isn’t engaging in libel or slander, Cuomo has the right to freedom of speech — the same freedom of speech that allows Penner to write letters. During the media frenzy calling for Cuomo’s scalp, I saw precious

students earlier this month sharing much broader concerns about how minorities are treated at East Rockaway High. These aren’t issues unique to East Rockaway High or Rockville Centre, and they aren’t limited to these specific groups. Even as deep as we are into the 21st century, hate continues to find a foothold in our society. While much of it is focused on the color of someone’s skin, it also involves gender and gender identity, religion, where our money comes from, disability, and who we love. A recent Pew Research Center study revealed that a third of Asian Americans still fear they could be the victims of slurs, jokes and even violence over the perceived origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Locally, that has led to the founding of the Asian American Institute for Research and Engagement, designed to advocate for Asian Americans while using research and data to uncover the roots of the discrimination they face. “We are all Americans,” said Woodbury’s Farrah Mozawalla, the first-ever Muslim department head in Nassau County government, who founded the new organization. “We all believe in the same values, and it’s now time for us to combat this hatred and discrimination. We need that to stop.” The battle against hate is seemingly never-ending, but it’s a battle that must be fought. Yet it’s often unclear who is doing the battling. There are informal student and religious groups, as well as organizations like Mozawalla’s.

But Long Island has another weapon against such hatred that has been largely silent in recent months — the Nassau County Human Rights Commission. It’s made up of 15 commissioners representing those of various races and ethnicities as well as those with disabilities, according to its website. Its stated mission is to “promote harmony among the diverse populations” of the county, through “persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education.” Could there be a better time than now to promote that harmony? The work this commission does is important, but it can’t stand by while many of these issues fill the pages of your local newspaper, with the fear that things will get worse before they get better. The commission hasn’t been completely idle. Its website is full of information on what people should do if they feel they’re victims of coronavirus-related discrimination. That’s vital information, for sure. But while the pandemic has dominated our lives over the past two years, community members are bravely stepping forward to expose other issues we just can’t ignore. And if the Human Rights Commission isn’t addressing these issues, too few people will hear about them. Now is the time for it to step up. We need to promote harmony. We need to embrace the very differences that make us Americans. And we need that persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education to get that done.

opInIons

find U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York; Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota; Ayanna Pressley, of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, politically repugnant, because they advocate positions that I believe are destructive to our principles, our nation, our allies and our future. Typically, last year Ocasio-Cortez initially voted no on a bill that would have helped fund Israel’s anti-missile defense system, the “Iron Dome.” She later flipped her vote to “present” when she realized that Ronald J. her antisemitic was a little RosenbeRg venom too obvious. Despite her corrosive politics, however, I absolutely defend her right to engage in such actions for, in a democracy, she and her fellow socialists have a protected right to be heard. It is their constituents who have the power to decide whether these individuals deserve to represent their interests on Capitol Hill. In the meantime, our democracy allows us to argue, debate, question and examine their rhetoric, votes, and public policies. And yet we live in a world where freedom of speech has been suppressed by those who control the most dominant plat-

forms for public speech, social media. “Facebook jail” has become an oft-repeated phrase among those who have been banned by an algorithm programmed by those who aren’t identified, much less questioned. Some who are forced off theses platform say they are mystified as to why action was taken when they were posting photos of American flags. This isn’t exactly a new complaint, but it has become far more dangerous to democracy. As far back as 2016, it was noted that Facebook was labeling any number of conservative posts “hate speech.” The publication The Hill noted that year, “Canadian conservative activist Lauren Southern was slapped with a 30-day Facebook suspension over — ironically enough — a post complaining about Facebook censorship of conservatives. (The ban was later reversed and blamed on an error.)” This kind of subjective destruction of free speech is not unique to online commentary. In colleges and universities across the country, there’s an acknowledgment that conservative students are intimidated by their peers. Interestingly, in a 2020 essay in The Atlantic, a summary of a nationwide campus survey found a glimmer of good news and a shadow that casts a pall on free speech.

his lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in our daily interactions.

leTTeRs little of that. There are those who feel that he was not afforded due process. Who is Larry Penner to say that Cuomo doesn’t have the right to tell his side of the story? If Cuomo can obtain enough signatures on nominating petitions, and they’re vetted by the Board of Elections, he has the right to appear on the ballot. In that case, the people will decide. There has been discussion among lawmakers about impeachment proceedings should Cuomo make it back to office. That issue would be decided by a majority of the Legislature. Not Larry Penner. I’m not saying Cuomo is guilty or innocent, was or was not a good governor, or would or would not be an effective lawmaker in whatever office he chooses to seek. Only that he has the right not to be judged by a jury of one letter writer. NAT WEINER Bronx

It’s time for us to step up in Ukraine To the Editor: I am now firmly of the opinion that we must not lose the war in Ukraine. The only two acceptable solutions are to force defeat on Russia or somehow create a

It stated, “While majorities favor more viewpoint diversity and free-speech norms, an intolerant faction of roughly a quarter of students believe it is okay to silence or suppress some widely held views that they deem wrong. “Students across political perspectives engage in classroom self-censorship. “Students harbor divisive stereotypes about classmates with different beliefs, and a substantial minority are not open to engaging socially with classmates who don’t share their views. “Disparaging comments about political conservatives are common.” An equally disturbing finding from this survey was the idea that conservative students feel intimidated by the potential threat of violence from their liberal counterparts. It found that nearly 68 percent of those who described their political views as conservative censored themselves, while just under half of moderates, and only 24 percent of liberals, said they did so. Were it just an isolated virus on college campuses, you might look the other way. But this lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in government, the courts, and in our daily interaction with business associates, colleagues, friends and even family members. It has become a toxin in the body politic of a country

face-saving peace deal that will restore most of Ukraine, with the exception of the Crimea, and guarantee that it remains a neutral country. But the arrogant Russians are still mobilizing for total victory. The argument in Washington about offensive or defensive weapons is ridiculous. Do you think Russia would send billions of dollars’ worth of weapons that could easily be easily neutralized by longrange missile attacks and destroyed without consequences? You can’t win a fistfight, or a war, without being able to counterpunch. We must counter Russia’s massive attacks by giving the Ukrainians weapon systems that can attack long-range missile launch sites, including naval platforms as well as those on land in occupied Ukraine and Russia. What’s the point of transporting advanced weapons systems to Ukraine that can easily be targeted and destroyed by long-range missiles? Or allowing the continued destruction of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure without retaliating against Russia? Does anybody think the genocidal Russian or Chinese military would adopt such a bizarre passive strategy? The Russians already presume that we’re giving the Ukrainians targeting intelligence and logistics — it’s time we do so. As of now, after being beaten back into their corner of occupied Ukraine, the Russians are pre-

founded on the words of the First Amendment, guaranteeing free speech. The First Amendment is the immovable cornerstone of our nation. I often find myself at odds with who the American Civil Liberties Union will represent in court, but I stand solidly beside them when they write, “An open society depends on liberal education, and the whole enterprise of liberal education is founded on the principle of free speech. How much we value the right of free speech is put to its severest test when the speaker is someone we disagree with most. Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible.” Again, the ACLU gets it right when it states, “More speech — not less — is the answer most consistent with our constitutional values.” A vibrant, robust, and strong democracy requires the unequivocal defense of our freedom of speech regardless of where, when or how we choose to speak our minds. Lose that right and we have lost the Republic. 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.
