Running 50 miles for a cause Raising money for vets and first-responders By JAKE PEllEGRINo jpellegrino@liherald.com

Last Friday, Gregory Waxman, known as Malverne’s “Patriot Man,” and worldrenown wheelchair athlete Peter Hawkins could be seen whizzing down Hempstead Avenue, Franklin Avenue and many side streets before looping around Foster Avenue by Westwood Park, followed by a brigade of fire trucks. It was all part of the first annual “Operation Hero” — a

50-mile charity race for veterans’ and first responder causes, which saw the pair dash 3.75 miles through the village 13.3 times. For the past three years, Waxman had participated in the Run Around the Lake, a charity event in Ronkonkoma in honor of Lt. Michael Murphy, a Navy SEAL from Ronkonkoma who died in the line of duty in 2005. However, Waxman felt a responsibility to start a run locally to help his own community.

“The Run Around the Lake is a great cause, but they have over 5,000 people who run in that race and they already get a lot of money,” Waxman said. “So I figured another cause around here could use some help, so I decided to start this to help the American Legion and Sgt. [Thomas] Winters, who passed last year.” Malver ne American Legion Post 44 will use the funds to donate a service dog Continued on page 4

May 12, 2022 — MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD

Budget vote/board election on Tuesday

jpellegrino@liherald.com

Residents in Malverne and West Hempstead will have the opportunity to vote on their school budgets and board of education candidates on Tuesday. Malverne is proposing a $64,407,654 budget-a 3.96% increase from last year. In addition to the funds necessary for the general operation of the district, the funds will be used for the implementation of a global language program at the elementary level and the expansion of the district’s coding program. The district is also proposing a 1.99% or $916,156 increase in tax levy. However, this still comes in at under the legal state minimum. The district says that it was able to manage this mainly due to the $2,199,737 increase in state aid they received this school year. Voters will also vote on a 2,595,379.88 proposition to approve the implementation of capital improvements to district facilities, such as new windows, repairs to the track and two new school buses. West Hempstead is proposing a budget of $71,392,000, which represents an increase of 2,487,000 from last year. The increase is mainly due to increases in expenses such as insurance premiums, transportation and retirement plans as well as traditional cost-of-living expenses. Additionally, some of the key items the money will used for include the hiring of a full-time custodian at Chestnut Street School, new math and science programs, social emotional learning programs, the continuing of the seal of civic readiness program and a flag football team sponsored by the New York Jets. Tax levy has increased 2.14%, still within the allowable levy limit for the district. Incumbent Malverne trustee Laura Avvinti is running unopposed for her seat. She is a 20-year resident and works as a court clerk for the Village of Floral Park. She is married to her husband Vito. Her biggest priority is ensuring the mental health of students. “I’m very much about advocating for mental health awareness and ensuring that our students are offered as much time with counselors as possible, to ensure that they are not only getting an education but that we are

offering them social emotional learning in order to treat the whole person.” In West Hempstead, four candidates are running for three seats on the West Hempstead school board but only one is in competition. Burt Blass is running against Jennifer Johnson for incumbent Gavi Hoffman’s seat, who is not seeking another term. Incumbent Karen Brohm is running unopposed for another term. Byars Cole is running unopposed for incumbent Patricia Greaves’ seat, who is not seeking reelection. Blass is an accountant and financial manager, having started his career in public accounting before moving into financial analysis for major oil companies before most recently working as a financial manager for Albert Einstein College of Medicine. One of his major goals is to help parents of special needs children. “As someone whose son has special needs, albeit in a private school, it was a major battle to get the resources that he was legally entitled to,” Blass said. “We did it but it wasn’t easy and now it has became my passion. It’s tough enough that parents have these issues but I want to help them navigate the system and get the resources they need.” Johnson has been in the education field for over 21 years, now working as a speech language pathologist for Nassau BOCES. One thing she would like to do if elected is to continue to enhance the district’s technology infrastructure. “I want to continue to improve our district’s educa-

tion in regards to if we ever have to go remote again,” Johnson said. “I’d like to do some more research on how to improve that.” Brohm is the Deputy Director of the communications bureau of the Nassau County Police Department and is a lifelong West Hempstead resident. This will be her fifth election to the board but her work is far from finished. Of her specific goals for her next term, she says, “I want to see the completion of the bond, maintain the fiscal responsibility of the district, maintain programs, give the children the best education possible and increase community involvement.” Cole currently works in business development for a software company and previously worked in film production and media. Additionally, he has previously served on the board and is eager to serve again. One of his biggest priorities on the board would be to continue the district’s work to prepare students for life after high school. “We’ve made tremendous strides in those STEM programs so I want to continue those and especially try to get girls into technology, as well as other careers,” Cole said. “Not everybody is going to be going to college; before covid, we had some really interesting career days. The district brought in people from all different lines of work from doctors and lawyers but also union folks to expose kids to those careers and I did a presentation on film production.” Voting is slated for May 17 from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. and voters should report to the middle school gym of their respective districts.

Malverne students celebrate Cinco de Mayo It was a day of celebration and culture as first graders in Mrs. Katie Smyth’s and Mrs. Bridget Jelovcic’s classes at Maurice W. Downing School embraced the Cinco de Mayo festivities. Students learned about the annual holiday and celebrated it by making sombreros and enjoying some tortillas and salsa.

82 donors raise $7K for ‘Operation Hero’ continued from front page to a veteran. “Greg called us about what he had in mind and he’s helping us pay for a service dog,” said Tony Marino, the post’s commander. “It’s a beautiful day and we’re happy to see it, and Greg is making it happen and the American Legion thanks him.” Sgt. Winters was a 21-year member of the Malverne Police Department who died last year at 55 years old. Before joining the department, he worked with the New York City Police Department’s Housing Bureau for 13 years, serving as a delegate for Police Service Area 9 in Ravenswood, Queens. The funds will be used to start a scholarship in his honor. Any remaining funds will be donated to the Steven McDonald Foundation in honor of the former U.S. Navy hospital corpsman, third generation NYPD police officer and husband of former Malverne Mayor Patti Ann McDonald. At age 29 with two years on the police force, Officer McDonald was shot three times and paralyzed in the line of duty in Central Park in July 1986. As of press time, $7,000 was raised from 82 supporters. Waxman became known as the “Patriot Man” last year when he would be seen running around Malverne carrying the American flag to lift spirits during the pandemic. He said he got the idea from the Ronkonkoma run, during which the last quarter mile is traditionally run while holding the flag. “I used to run by myself, for myself, always chasing a better time for my age group,” Waxman said Friday before his run. “When I started running with the flag, however, I realized I wasn’t running alone anymore. People would wave, beep and say kind words. I felt a deeper connection with the fabric of the community or whoever happened to be driving down Hempstead or Franklin Avenue that day.” This inspired him to take his run through the village to a higher level. “That feeling was the impetus to create this event today because if I could brighten someone’s day during a regular training run, imagine what I could do during a big planned event like this,” Waxman said. “So, we’re going the extra mile today — 50 to be exact. “We’re doing 50 miles just because it’s not an easy task and what our veterans and first responders do isn’t easy,” Waxman added. “Fifty miles is nothing compared to what they do.” Hawkins was involved in a car accident when he was a senior in high school and although the former football player never wanted to be a wheelchair athlete, it has turned his life around and taken him all around the world. “When I was 17 years old, I thought everything was over for me, but then I got into this sport and it’s given me a great outlet,” Hawkins said. “I started wheelchair racing begrudgingly four years after my accident and never thought it would take me around the world like it

I did the Boston marathon two weeks ago, Long Island marathon 27 times and have done races in New York, Japan, Thailand and Korea. It’s changed my life in a way I could have never expected.” Naturally, joining Waxman’s cause was a no-brainer. “I see Greg at all the races and he’s always carrying the flag,” Hawkins said. “We live two blocks from each other and he asked me if I want to be part of it and I said I’d be happy to. We’re just local runners supporting each other for this great cause.” Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett said that Waxman’s work ethic is representative of the character of the village as a whole. “For Greg to be willing to put his body through this ordeal all through the village he loves to raise funds for the American Legion is a testament to the people of Malverne, and Greg exemplifies that character very well,” Corbett said. Next year, Waxman and the village are planning on increasing the stakes with a 100-mile run from Malverne to Montauk. “That was the original idea,” Corbett said. “We just didn’t have enough time this year to plan that so we decided to do it all Malverne-centric, and I’m going to help any way I can by working with the local police departments I represent out there.”

COuNtY exeCutIve BRuCe Blakeman seeks to end the Housing Assistance Program that aimed to send one-time $375 checks to lowincome households.

Herald File Photo

Blakeman ends pandemic relief program By MALLORY WILSON mwilson@liherald.com

Bruce Blakeman is ending Nassau County’s Household Assistance Program, intended to offer lower-income residents a one-time direct payment of $375. Signed into law last October when Blakeman’s predecessor, Laura Curran, was still county executive, the program was supposed to allocate up to $100 million in federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act as direct payments for up to 400,000 qualifying Nassau residents. The county overall received $193 million from the act, which President Joe Biden signed into law in March 2021. In a letter to county legislators, Blakeman said he wanted to stop the program because of “extremely low participation” and because the program seems to be “trickling out.” He would pull the plug May 15, allowing any applications submitted by that day to be processed, but nothing more after that. Roughly 70,000 payments were processed amounting to a little over $26 million — just a quarter of the monies budgeted for the program. To get the check, a household would have to submit an application with documentation verifying income, typically in the form of an income tax return, as well as provide proof of residency. The program has had a rather complicated history since Curran, a Democrat, first introduced it a year ago. The program’s first draft would have automatically issued checks to anyone receiving rebates through the state’s school tax relief or enhanced school tax relief programs. Homeowners with household income less than $500,000 and receiving

Verbiage on the county’s website stated the school tax exemptions would qualify. Some county legislators were skeptical the requirements were updated to “conabout the program from the beginning, form to the U.S. Treasury final rule’s especially on the Republican side of the income eligibility thresholds.” Democrats in the legislaaisle.

essentially mothball this program by refusing to adequately promote it.” But Rhoads points out the program was advertised on the county website, and through a direct mailer to eligible households. “It’s tough,” Rhoads said. “Information was also sent out in email blasts, but ultimately that only works if people read and take a look at it.” Blakeman has yet to share his plans for the remaining federal money, but county legislators urge him to get the ball rolling soon. Any funds not used by 2026 must be returned to Washington. “I want to make sure that people are receiving the money they’re entitled to,” McKevitt said. “But the last thing I want to see is the federal government take the money back.” Democrats want Blakeman to keep the program in place at least through the end of the year, especially since the pool of eligible households grew significant with the income requirements dropping to below $76,050. There are restrictions as to what the county can do with the money — 50 pages of rules, in fact, Rhoads said. But Blakeman could use money to offset taxes, essentially giving homeowners a break there. Rhoads also would like to provide tuition assistance for anyone who lost their job, or students of parents who lost their jobs, to go to Nassau Community College either for job training or to simply qualify for scholarships. “I think there are lots of good the government could do with the money,” McKevitt said. “Whether it’s for infrastructure, whether it’s aid to veterans, I just want to make sure the money is used here and not sent back to Washington.”

West Hempstead’s offense is starting to shift into full gear and the Rams are running with the lead pack in Nassau Conference V girls’ lacrosse as a result. Eighth-grader Elizabeth Poirot scored five goals and assisted on three of junior Gianna Cardillo’s seven tallies as West Hempstead defeated visiting Valley Stream District, 15-4, May 2 for its fifth victory in six conference games. Valley Stream got a pair of goals from junior Reilly Daly and 13 saves from senior goaltender Layla Santana. “Elizabeth, Gianna and Mackenzie [Cates] have meshed well together,” Rams coach Suzanne Kenney said after the game. “The past three or four games Elizabeth has been doing a great job of seeing the cutters and making good decisions with the ball. She’s our point guard from the back of the net and it’s fun to watch when it works.” Cates, a senior, added two goals and one assist, while junior Taliah Thompson, filling in for starting junior goalie Glenda Garcia, made 7 saves. Garcia was remarkable a week earlier in a 12-9 loss at Glen Cove, turning aside 17 shots to keep the Rams close throughout. Cardillo scored four goals in the first 16 minutes against Valley Stream, and her final goal in the closing minute was her 40th of the season. That ranked her in the top 15 in the county in goals at the time. “Gianna does it all,” Kenney said. “She’s aggressive with and without the ball, she’s a strong defender and also our primary draw girl.” Poirot scored the last three goals of the first half as West Hempstead built an 8-0 lead at intermission. In her first-year varsity campaign, she had 35 goals and 13 assists through nine games. Cates had 15 goals. “Our overall team offense has picked up,” Kenney explained. “We’ve gotten away from trying to do too much one-on-one.” Defensively, freshman Sara Dos Santos used her soccer IQ and speed to get the job done along with senior leaders Catherine Andree and Ileen Cruz-Munoz.

EIghTh-gradEr ELIzaBETh Poirot proved difficult to stop May 2, totaling eight points in the Rams’ win over Valley Stream. After Cardillo and Poirot scored within the first two minutes of the second half, Valley Stream picked up its level of play and responded with six strong minutes to cut into the deficit. Junior Victoria Salisan got the visitors on the board with 19:51 remaining. Daly followed with two goals, including one shorthanded, and junior Kamryn VanEtten, who won three draws in row to keep its momentum going, scored her 19th of the season to make it 10-4. “At halftime we made some adjustments defensively and our midfield started to

play better which gave us some possessions early in the second half we were able to convert into goals,” Valley Stream assistant coach Rob Tronolone said. “VanEtten is our leader on offense and Santana has been playing great in goal all year.” Valley Stream (3-6 overall, 3-4 in Conference V) entered this week looking to rebound with a matchup against Great Neck South. West Hempstead (6-4 overall, 6-2 in Conference V) followed the win over Valley Stream by falling to conference-leading Freeport last Friday.

The word “should” connotes the “right” way to do something. But who decides what the “right” way is? You may believe it’s an authority that demands you do it this way. And sometimes it is. I don’t want you thinking you shouldn’t be brushing your teeth or stopping at stop signs. But maybe, just maybe, you pound your days with harsh and burdensome shoulds that drain your energy.

At times, life meets our expectations. Other times, it doesn’t. True love doesn’t always triumph. Goodness doesn’t always prevail. Bad guys don’t always get caught. Good guys don’t always get rewarded. If you consistently cling to the idea that good will prevail and love will be victorious, you’re either a dedicated optimist or a romance novelist. On the other hand, if you doubt this notion, you’re in good company. Just read the headlines and you’ll be reminded of all the things that are wrong with this world! If the news gets you disheartened, if you’re having not only nightmares but daymares, if you begin your days in a downward spiral — upset with yourself, upset with others — keep reading. I’ve got some advice for you. But why should you listen to me, you may wonder? If you’re a long-time reader of this column, you know the answer. It’s because I’m always right! Okay, not always. But I’ve always got some good ideas for you to ponder and hopefully put into practice. So without further ado, here are four ways to subdue your negativity, lighten your sorrows.

that attracts us to live here attracts the movie companies. We have two train stations that are literally a thirty-minute ride into the greatest city on earth, are near major highways like the Southern State and Sunrise Highway; another major artery. A lot of shows and movies nowadays are set in suburban or country-like towns and Malverne lends itself to that; its a very safe, neat place and they love working here because it provides all the resources they need and want and they already want to come back.” But it was the people that were their greatest resource. “They all spoke about they couldn’t believe how friendly the neighbors were and how they all just really chipped in and worked with each other and watched over each others’ kids while we participated in the show,” Heather Zwillick, one participant in the episode said. “These are people traveling from Brooklyn and Queens and all over the country and they couldn’t believe the hospitality and friendship here and I think that’s a testament of how Malverne is; we all know it and say it but it was nice to have other people from outside recognize it.” But this sense of camaraderie wasn’t only an asset for the production crew but for the neighbors as well, as it made the show all the more exciting and brought the community closer together. “Everyone of all ages was crowding around, cheering on the chefs,” Matt Zwillick, Heather’s husband, said. “We got to see the chefs doing their work and people came by later on and got filled in and they were like ‘wow’ and telling the chefs ‘go do my fridge, I have a lot of food’ and it was very fun not

just for us, but for everyone around.” Specific details about the episode’s content are under wraps until it airs in July but Matt was able to share a little bit about his experience being on the show. “They do it in a way so we don’t know what exactly is happening so we didn’t have a stocked fridge,” Matt said. “We knew we were filming a TV show but we didn’t know what it was, so they came in and took our food from the fridge and our pantry and they were only able to use that to make the meal that they were told to make and I can only tell you that they made a meal of a lot better quality than I would be able to make.” The show is only the latest in a recent string of productions filmed in the village, including the Hulu series “Life & Beth” starring Amy Schumer, last year. In addition to the publicity it brings to the village, Corbett said it also helps the village financially, especially now that it has recently changed its film permit fee structure. He says that other villages, including formerly Malverne, charge a flat fee for the right for crews to film in the municipality but Corbett says this is inefficient. Instead he implemented a service-based fee based on the size of the production in addition to a fee for the right to film in the village. “The larger the production, the larger the fee,” Corbett said. “In other villages, they take a one-size-fits-all approach and the taxpayers are sometimes left with the bill; we customize it based on the production. This way we get made whole for anything they use of our services, such as our cops, EMS and DPW workers.”

Architect

your stairs and now realize how complicated this change can be. Usually the best way to go about it is to hire an architect who has the structural, construction, code and space planning knowledge to figure this out, since every home and every onte eeper property is a little different. The question about adding on leads to doing the zoning analysis, which means taking your property survey, which hopefully is readable and has setback distances and dimensions of the house. Many surveys are missing this information, or are unreadable because they have been hand-drawn or are old photocopies, but if they can be read, your building zone requires only a certain amount of lot area coverage by the home and a front side and rear setback distance from your property lines that must comply. The next challenge is to accurately measure and produce the floor plans of each floor so that the whole picture can be worked with. Moving the stairs around means trying to keep the basement stairs below the stairs to the second floor to save space, since the two stairs work together. Hallways, closets and bathrooms all need to be looked at to see if the stairs can be joined to the upper and lower spaces from a different direction without altering the main plumbing or greatly reducing the adjacent rooms. The building codes dictate that there are minimum sizes of rooms, especially bedrooms and hallways. Whenever this type of work is to be done, the whole design has to include the main first-floor living space objective, so a kitchen expansion, relocation of a dining room or elimination of a living room, for example, are taken into account. This is generally not a simple process, because the structural system of beams and walls will be changed and all loads, from the roof to the basement, must still be resolved through either the existing columns and beams or new ones that will need to be calculated. I often see where people have started the planning process themselves, sketching out ideas and realizing how complicated this can be. Until the whole picture of each floor plan, the structure and codes are applied, together, the final plan can’t be fully resolved. Good luck!

Q. Our house needs upgrading, and we’re hoping to create more space. Our stairs to the basement and the second floor are right in the middle of the house, and block everything. They’re also only a few feet from our front door. We’re thinking we can save some space by moving the stairs, and read what you wrote about circular stairs not being legal (as a main exit stair). Is it possible to have an addition on the front or side of the house, and how do we get to the upstairs hallway without losing a room? We want to have an open first floor after we move the stairs — that’s our main objective. Ask The What should we do? A. You have stared at

opinions

ho’s to blame for New York’s increase in crime, its high taxes and the general feeling of dread many of us feel? It would be wrong to hold state Democratic Party elected officials solely responsible. But to the extent that government is accountable for public safety, setting tax rates and public spending priorities, and the overall order of civil society, you’d have to cast the evil eye at the left. Democrats have controlled the governor’s office and the state senate John and Assembly o’Connell since 2019. They’ve had the majority in the Assembly since 1975. There are now 105 Democrats in the Assembly and only 43 Republicans. The Assembly Speaker, Carl Heastie, is a Democrat. In the state senate, there are 42 Democrats and 20 Republicans, and senate Llader Andrea Stewart-Cousins is a Democrat. Democrats serve as governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller. Both U.S. Senators are Democrats, as are 19 of 27 members of New York’s delegation in the House of Representatives. Given those stats, who else could be

responsible for failing to effectively deal with such quality-of-life issues as shootouts on city streets and incidents like the fight at the Roosevelt Field Mall on May 1, which reporters described as a “large disturbance” and a Twitter user called a “terrifying event.” It’s indisputable that the people in charge have not done nearly enough to help citizens feel secure in their homes, on their streets or at their kitchen tables at taxpreparation and householdbudgeting time. Happily, violent- and property-crime rates in Nassau County are extremely low, especially the further east you go from the Queens border. But that isn’t the case in New York City. CNN reported that Major crimes in New York City "spiked nearly 60 percent in February compared to the same month in 2021. The city recorded a 41 percent increase in overall major crime through the first months of 2022 compared to the same period last year, including a nearly 54 percent increase in robberies, a 56 percent increase in grand larceny incidents, and a 22 percent increase in rape reports.” The state budget is $216.5 billion. New York City’s budget is $98.5 billion. Next to funding pensions, health plans and civil

service compensation packages, New Yorkers want safe streets; clean, violencefree and timely public transportation; only enough taxation to meet voters’ priorities; pure water and properly inspected food establishments; non-ideological public-school curriculums taught by competent, background-checked educators; good parks and infrastructure in good repair. But it is unfair, wrong and too easy to simply blame Democrats. There used to be a saying about the state legislature — which applied to Republicans and Democrats — that it was more likely for Albany’s elected officials to leave office by indictment, arrest or resignation under legal pressure than by losing re-election. The problem isn’t in the parties, but in the system — systemic greed for money, power, celebrity or ego satisfaction. Instead of blaming Democrats, I think it’s the corrupt system of elections and governance that most interferes with effectively addressing our public policy problems. Cynically redrawing election-district borders to favor one party, making it therefore more likely that the majority party remains in power — gerrymandering — is one sign of that systemic corrup-

o matter the systemic corruption, we have the power to make changes.

tion, one that the controlling party has no interest in fixing. The system that permits district attorneys, such as Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, to decide which felonies and violent misdemeanors are prosecuted is destructive of good community order. The system that releases even violent offenders without bail — euphemistically called “bail reform” by liberal politicians — encourages recurring criminal behavior and makes law-abiding citizens more vulnerable. The illegal system of trading campaign contributions for contract awards is another bastardization of political power. No matter what systemic corruptions exist, citizens still have the power to make changes, if only they vote. Far too many elections are decided by far too few voters as a percentage of those eligible to register and cast ballots. Democracy isn’t about the submission of the minority to the majority. Democracy works when the rate of participation exceeds citizens’ penchant for passivity. In spite of the prevalence of a leftleaning press and social media censorship, in spite of largely party-dominated candidate selections and other obstacles to fair elections, we citizens can rise up — and vote.

Threat to choice has women on the march

hirty years after the fact, I’ve decided to write about a personal time in my life. I’ve been thinking about that: how we tell the stories of our lives, what we include, what we choose to edit out and how powerful it is to share our truths with others. In some ways, that is what I’ve been doing in this space for many years. In addition to commenting on news and community life, I have shared bits and pieces of my family. My kids have grown up and left home and had their own RAnDi kids on this page. I KReiss went through cancer treatment with you. My life has been an open book. Well, perhaps semi-open. After all, I choose what to write about and what to keep to myself. I try to talk about something — an issue, a right of passage, a person in the news — that will resonate with others. Here is today’s story. If you don’t like it, I’m OK with that. Write back if you like. We can have a dialogue. Let’s keep

calm and carry on. In 1992, when my son was 21 and my daughter was 19, I got pregnant, and my husband and I chose to end the pregnancy. I was 45 years old at the time, and for many reasons we decided not to bring another baby into the world. I was able to go to my gynecologist, who performed the procedure in a safe hospital setting. I recovered. No one can presume to know how I felt then or how I feel now about that decision. It was mine and my husband’s to make. We carry the memories and the difficulties of that choice. We have no doubt that we did the right thing for us at that time. The only reason to talk about it now is to support other women’s right to choose. Over the years, in discussions with other people, religious or secular, conservative or liberal, white or Black, it always turns out that many women at the table have had abortions. We keep it private because it’s nobody else’s business. When and if women choose abortion, they should not have to walk by scream-

ing protesters or people carrying posters of mangled baby parts. The same people who lecture about the sanctity of “life” are busy voting down programs for the poor and the disadvantaged, eviscerating funding for mothers and preschoolers and health services in marginalized communities. The hypocrisy is infuriating. People who have money and connections will always be able to get abortions for themselves or their daughters, and that includes members of Congress and the courts. A ban on abortion falls most heavily on the shoulders of the poor and the powerless. We who support a woman’s right to choose would prefer abortions to be legal and safe and private. The morning-after pill is a good alternative, but the antichoice forces are going after that, too, even though it is an efficient way for a woman to make her own decisions about her body and her future. Today, Roe v. Wade is still the law of the land, but a leaked draft decision from the Supreme Court points to a majority vote that could overturn the law. For 50

t always turns out that many women at the table have had abortions. We keep it private.

years, women and men who care about the right to privacy and choice have felt protected, but not secure, with this freedom. I never believed that the right to an abortion would survive without vigilance. I marched on Washington, D.C., with hundreds of thousands of other prochoice Americans in 1992, when George Herbert Walker Bush was in the White House. Factions in Pennsylvania were trying to pass a restrictive abortion law. The vibe from the Supreme Court was troubling. Roe v. Wade was 20 years old that year. I took a train from New York with my mother and my daughter, and we walked by the White House to raise our voices in defense of ourselves and the women to come after us. I never imagined then, and still can barely believe now, that after a 50-year precedent, a conservative majority may toss Roe in the shredder. I marched for choice with my mother and daughter. Now my daughter is marching with her daughter. It is a never-ending fight for women to claim the right to their own bodies and their own destiny. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

School board candidates should know the facts

fter a recent “meet the candidates” forum for one of the more than 125 education boards in Nassau County, the very people the candidates were soliciting votes from turned to social media to share their views. Their verdict? Some of the “facts” the candidates shared were not facts at all. And at least a few of them came off as illprepared to answer even the most straightforward questions — all while seemingly lacking knowledge of a proposed budget that would spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars. It’s true, being a board trustee is not a paid position. Yet it is a volunteer post that comes with immense responsibility. First and foremost, it is an elected position — one with a duty to represent the community, and serve as a watchdog to help ensure that those millions of dollars are spent properly to educate every young person who walks through the door of a district school. “A school board member takes on one of the most important citizen responsibilities: overseeing the education of the community’s youth,” the New York State School Boards Association states on its website. A school board is a “uniquely American institution,” the association adds, which is also how we describe our form of

letters Would Walter Cronkite think Randi is fair? To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?” (April 28-May 4): I noticed a touch of bias that Cronkite himself would not have appreciated. I’m a few years younger than Ms. Kreiss, but I remember him well — “the most trusted man in America.” Ms. Kreiss tells us some of the horrific news of the day, but the only names she mentions are Ron DeSantis, Kevin McCarthy and the state of Florida. A few paragraphs later, she tells us of “fake news” and “The nascent Trump brain.” Are we to assume that in all the broadcasts she viewed that night, there was no mention of inflation, the southern border, violence and crime in the

representative democracy. Both systems need educated people to serve as elected representatives, and an informed electorate to vote intelligently. Just read any of the stories here in the Herald, and you can’t miss how politicized a lot of the banter has become. Mask mandates. Critical race theory. Gender. All have become hot topics, and have shifted conversations away from the usual budgets, capital improvements and administrative issues that typically dominate campaign stump speeches. These issues have pushed more candidates into these races than we’ve seen in the past, but more often than not, these candidates are laser-focused on their favorite issues and not knowledgeable at all when it comes to what, exactly, their duties would be as a trustee. The school boards association enumerates nearly a dozen main responsibilities someone elected to a board should focus on. They include creating a shared vision for the future of education while guiding the school district toward the goal of achieving optimum student performance. Boards also must provide rigorous accountability for students’ results, and support a healthy school district culture centered on work and learning, all while maintaining strong ethical standards. They must also develop a budget and present it to the community, which is what

local school districts — yours included — are doing right now. Boards of education should be filled with effective communicators, consensus builders and decision makers who are both community leaders and team players. Nassau County is blessed to have many such people qualified to take on the role of a trustee. They are elected or not elected for myriad reasons. However, voters should not have to consider whether candidates have enough information to articulate the issues and present accurate information. The key is trust. The community is trusting you to point the school district in the right direction. How does a trustee become informed? Being involved in the school community is a good first step. Be part of a school’s parent association. Volunteer. Attend education board meetings. Read — and even question — the information presented. But knowledge isn’t just reserved for those running for office. It’s up to the voter — you — as well. With the school budget, trustee and special propositions on the ballot on May 17, there are still a few days to become informed. Whether you are stumping for or against your district’s budget to be passed, or just voting in the election, before casting your ballot, know the facts.

opinions

ast week, Politico leaked a shocking (but not surprising) draft outlining the Supreme Court’s plan to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion a constitutionally protected right. The overturning of Roe would be a devastating blow to women’s rights, and underscores the crisis America is facing. We are seeing a rapid backslide of democracy, the steady stripping away of rights and an increasingly besieged working and middle class, aided and abetted by the election of Matthew Donald Trump the full-throatadarichev and ed embrace of authoritarianism by the modern Republican Party. We are living in desperate times, and a resurgent far right can only be defeated by an equally powerful liberal movement. All stops must be pulled out to protect democracy and prevent the creep of fascism. Against the backdrop of these developments, liberal Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer recently retired, allowing President Biden to nominate the first black woman, the highly qualified Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, to the court, and

potentially lock in a liberal spot on the bench for another 30 years. It logically follows, then: If we must do everything we can, why not ask fellow liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor to retire as well? The notion is not radical: Both women have enjoyed over a decade of service on the bench. They can retire with dignity, and can be reappointed to other judicial positions. And while Kagan and Sotomayor are relatively young justices, they are, respectively, the fifth- and third-oldest members of the court. Appointing younger justices would ensure that those seats remain liberal, and judges a decade younger could weather another Republican president. The appointment of two new justices could also serve as an opportunity to nominate those with other backgrounds, such as the first Asian-American or openly gay justice, to the bench. Under normal circumstances, I would not make such a suggestion. But the court’s liberal justices are caught in the crosshairs of circumstance, and must decide what matters more: their careers or democracy’s struggle. If Biden intends to push any more Supreme Court justices through, his window of opportunity is quickly closing.

ppointing younger justices would ensure that the seats remain liberal longer.

Letters streets, Afghanistan, Ukraine, shutting down our pipelines, the confusion and misstatements of President Biden or Vice President Harris, the high cost of fuel, or so many other negative issues that this administration is responsible for? My point is that if you’re going complain about the news, you should at least show both sides. My “side” would suggest that the current administration is destroying this country, and that the great America that Ms. Kreiss and I grew up in no longer exists. JOHn L. SULLIVAn Rockville Centre

What’s Randi’s agenda? To the Editor: Re “Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?”: Currently, the journalism medium is one small step above politicians for honesty, integrity and believability. And Ms. Kreiss is part of all the misinformation. Walter Cronkite did not have an agenda. He just presented the news. The bill passed in Florida and

The midterm elections are coming up, Republicans are poised to retake the Senate, and at that point any judicial aspirations for the Biden administration would be over. Let’s not forget how Republicans stole a Supreme Court pick and more than 100 other judgeships from President Barack Obama. I don’t expect them to be any kinder to Biden. Still on the fence? Ask yourself, what would a Republican do? Read it here, quote me later: If a Republican wins the presidency in 2024, and if the Senate goes Republican, hard-right Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito will retire no later than mid-2026, allowing two fresh, 40-something conservative crusaders to take their place. This is why Republicans win — because Democrats are timid, while Republicans actually care about power. They will use any Machiavellian trick in the book to get their agenda passed. That’s why Republican state houses get to erase transgender individuals and rewrite history, while Biden has to sit and watch the courts undo his every move. Why Democrats won’t fight as hard for Black and brown, LGBT, Indigenous and poor Americans as hard as Republicans fight for white racists is a question for the philosophers.

While another two liberal justices wouldn’t hurt, the Biden administration must continue filling as many judicial vacancies on lower courts as possible. President Donald Trump left an indelible mark on the American judicial system, making more than 230 judicial appointments during his tenure. If Biden and Democrats at large want to bring the federal judiciary back to some semblance of normalcy, they must continue to confirm judges that will protect minority and voting rights post haste. There is a prescient quote that captures the zeitgeist we find ourselves in: “In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing and the worst thing you can do is nothing.” The words are commonly attributed to Theodore Roosevelt. This is Biden’s moment of decision. This is his one opportunity to yank the judiciary back to the middle and shape the Supreme Court in his favor, protecting our rights in the process. Whether he will seize this crucial moment in history and beat back the rising tide of authoritarianism and bigotry, or stand back as reactionary forces take over the country, remains to be seen.

signed by Gov. Ron DeSantis is properly called the Parental Rights in Education law. It prohibits classroom instruction in sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten to third grade. This is not a “Don’t Say Gay” law that targets LGBT people. Why can’t Ms. Kreiss write about both sides of this issue? Perhaps she believes that parents have no right to review what sexual material is being taught to their children. If that’s her opinion, she should say so. Disney had tax breaks for over 50 years, but she didn’t say that. Disney will now be treated the same as any other corporation licensed in Florida, and it’s about time. Treating Disney differently might lead to corruption charges and the appearance of impropriety. Ms. Kreiss wrote that “Israel and Gaza militants were at war.” This isn’t a war. Ukraine and Russia are at war. Gaza militants fire rockets into Israel, and Israel responds by sending airplanes to bomb the source of the rockets. That isn’t a war. That is periodic aggression and harassment. It’s obvious that Ms. Kreiss has an agenda, but she should at least be accurate with her words. SID KRIMSKy West Hempstead
