W. Hempstead back to budget drawing board In lone Long Island district not to pass spending plan, board resolves to move on By JAKE PEllEGRINo jpellegrino@liherald.com

By the morning of May 18, it became apparent that the West Hempstead school district was the only one on Long Island that had failed to pass its 2022-23 budget. It had proposed a spending plan of just under $71.4 million, an increase of nearly $2.5 million, along with a 2.14 percent increase in the tax levy. But it was voted down overwhelmingly, receiving only 734 votes of support, compared with 1,103 in opposition. Board of Education President Karen Brohm, who was re-elected to another term on election night, said there could be a variety of reasons for district residents’ rejection, but the most logical one is voter apathy. “People didn’t come out

I think a lot of people that maybe would have voted for it didn’t come out because

they felt it was a, ‘it will pass, it always does’ kind of thing.” Brohm said that she and the board still stand by the spending proposal. “I do feel it was a fiscally responsible budget,” she said. “The entire board voted for it. It

didn’t cut anything. It kept programs, and didn’t go over the tax cap. We felt we went out with something that the taxpayers could stand behind, but apparently some taxpayers didn’t feel that to be the Continued on page 2

Avvinti re-elected in Malverne, with new faces in W.H. By JAKE PEllEGRINo jpellegrino@liherald.com

Burt Blass won his contest for West Hempstead Board of Education trustee over Jennifer Johnson in last Tuesday’s school board election, while incumbent Karen Brohm, running unopposed, won another term as board president. Byars Cole also captured a seat running without opposition. In Malverne, Laura Avvinti won another term as trustee, and was also unopposed. Blass won narrowly, receiving 912 votes to Johnson’s 871. Brohm had 1,326 votes, Cole, 1,298, and Avvinti, 451. For Blass, an accountant and a financial manager, a seat on

BURT BlASS

Newly elected West Hempstead school board member the board means an opportunity to put his financial background to good use. “The residents know

the importance of funding a good public school system, but they also want to know where the dollars are going and if they’re being spent as well as they could,” he said. “I think I’m in the unique position to know those answers and be able to communicate effectively.” Blass started his career in public accounting before moving into financial analysis for major oil companies, and most recently worked as a financial manager for Albert Einstein College of Medicine. His first order of business with the new board, he said, would be to help parents of special-needs children. “Special needs is always a special passion for me, for both the children who

are in the schools and those who are receiving services from our district,” Blass said. “It’s tough enough raising a special-needs child, but I can tell you from experience it’s a maze trying to navigate the whole bureaucracy. So I think I might as well start not with the easy stuff but with the hard stuff right out of the gate.” Brohm is the deputy director of communications for the NasContinued on page 13

continued from front page case, which is fine.” The board will reconvene in the coming weeks to discuss its options. “We’re going to discuss what we can change, and if there are any touches that we can make that will not affect the children,” Brohm said. “We don’t want to take away from the education that we offer our students. We’re going to look at our funds and see where maybe we can change something, or maybe where we could take a little more from.” She noted that an increase in the number of retirees this school year may

create a cost savings. “If you have a 30-year teacher retiring at a salary of 120 grand and a new teacher coming in at a salary of $50,000 to $60,000, that person would obviously be a savings,” Brohm said. “We did have one or two teachers retire after the budget was crafted, so it really has a lot to do with things like that.” Following the board’s discussion about the budget, the district will hold a revote on June 21, from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., in the middle school gymnasium. “It’s very disheartening,” Brohm said, “but all we can do is move forward

from it and try to create a budget that’s equally as strong, with the ability to maintain the programs that we have in place.” On social media, community members also expressed disappointment, but a similar resolve to move past it. “Instead of blaming those who voted against it,” Moshe Hill wrote, “let’s work together to have a budget that will pass with strong support.” Mora Joel suggested that the budget’s failure may come down to priorities. “Understand that there are people here that no matter the PowerPoint or conversation, will vote no for the revote because lowering taxes is more important than the school children,” she wrote. Joel added that residents who do support the spending plan make the time to come out for the revote. “To the West Hempstead parents, whether you thought the budget would be voted in or could not vote due to work or other reasons,” she wrote, “it is important to get your vote in for the second vote.”

Offering a little TLC to Lakeview’s LIRR station Lakeview’s Long Island Rail Road station was treated to a makeover last month thanks to a few community volunteers. Organized by the newly formed Lake Civic Association, the cleanup was supported by Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe. “The success of this community cleanup and the formation of this civic association are two wonderful examples of Lakeview’s blossoming civic pride and engagement,” Bynoe said, in a release. “It was a pleasure to join with Aisha, Lisa and so many dedicated community volunteers as they rolled up their sleeves to give the community some richly deserved springtime TLC.” The “Aisha” Bynoe refers to is Lakeview Civic Association member Aisha Demosthenes, “Many Lakeview families participated in what we’re aiming to be an annual event,” the volunteer said. “We’re thankful to all who supported us in our efforts to make Lakeview a clean and aesthetically pleasing environment to live in.” In celebration of Earth Day, volunteers concluded the event by planting flowers around the station. –Kyle Chin

Fans bring slice of comic-con to Malverne By KYlE CHIN kchin@liherald.com

Comic Fans are expected to be out in force on June 4 for Malverne Comic Fest at The Bridge Church. Fans young and old are invited to attend the convention, set to feature a number of local businesses in the comics, toys, and games industries, including Scooop Ice Cream. A number of familiar faces from film and television are also slated to appear, including actors Angel Salazar from “Scarface,” John D’Onofrio from “Goodfellas” and “A Bronx Tale,” a n d f ive c a s t members from 1979’s “The Warr i o r s, ” a m o n g others. Dio Jackson and brothers Christian and Antonio Montalvo are organizing the event. Jackson founded Malverne comic s h o p Ro ck y ’s Comics after DIO JACKSON retiring from convention popular pop culture collectible organizer company Funko. The Montalvo brothers, also associated with Rocky’s, are Malverne-based artists who self-publish comics, work on action figure customs, and have backgrounds in fine arts curating. “Me, Christian, and Dio all came together and said, ‘Hey, wouldn’t it be really cool if we had an event or a convention in town here?’” Antonio Montalvo said. In fact, he spoke of his own childhood experiences with comics, along with his hopes to bring similar experiences to children today. “I remember that feeling as a little kid running to the comics shop, so excit-

I’d be lying if I said there wasn’t,” Antonio said. “But the neighborhood was great. They came through and showed support all the way.” With the public growing more comfortable coming together in-person, the brothers view the comic fest as a kind of reintroduction between local businesses and customers. “There’s a reason we called it the Malverne Comic Fest,” Christian said. “We see this as a chance for people from neighboring towns and even New York City to come here and appreciate everything the town has to offer.”

The festival is set for the halls of The Bridge Church, 1 Norwood Ave., — something Antonio said he was very grateful for. “They’ve been so gracious through all this” he said. “We really appreciate how they’re letting us bring the community together.” The goal is to make this festival the first of many, with people’s shared love of comics and other media bringing them to Malverne on an annual basis. “Hopefully the community comes out and feels like its theirs,” Christian added.

Malverne Comic Fest Malverne Comic Fest is set for June 4 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at The Bridge Church, 1 Norwood Ave. It will feature five cast members from ‘The Warriors,’ directed by Walter Hill, including David Harris, Thomas G. Waites, Terry Michos, Wanda Velez and Apache Ramos. The film features a fictional New York City street gang that controlled territory from the north end of the Bronx to Coney Island. Based on the 1965 novel by Sol Yurick, it made more than five times its

budget at the box office, and is now considered a cult favorite. Other guests include Angel Salazar, who played Chi Chi in ‘Scarface,’ as well as Joseph D’Onofrio from ‘Goodfellas,’ X-Men cartoon voice actor Tony Daniels, and Brett Azar from the NBC series ‘Young Rock.’ Gaming events are hosted by Cosmic Comics and Games. Tickets for the comics festival are $7 in advance, or $10 at the door. For more information, visit MalverneComicFest.com.

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Annual event — featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels — takes off Saturday, May 28 By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com

Alexa Wahl was just 7 when her family began attending the Bethpage Air Show. Standing on Jones Beach and staring at the sky, she would watch the planes soar past quickly and gracefully. It was from that very moment Wahl realized she wanted to be a pilot. Now 23, the Deer Park resident spent time in high school “Googling every possible profession” because she felt becoming a pilot wasn’t possible for her. Nothing excited her quite like flying. So why not? Wahl decided to go for it. With no experience and just a dream, Wahl enrolled in the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College. After four years of learning to fly, she graduated from the program last December. Wahl’s now an instructor at the center — currently the only woman in such a role — mentoring future pilots. Yet, it was Michael Canders who helped her realize her dream. A military pilot for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for more than four decades, Canders is an associate professor and the college’s aviation center director. It was ultimately up to him who the five aviation center pilots would fly in this year’s Bethpage Air Show. One of his top choices? Wahl, of course. “I was so surprised to be asked,” Wahl said. “I worked so hard, and it definitely paid off. But it still feels too good to be true.” Wahl and the other pilots from the center will open the show on Saturday, May

Want to go? The 2022 Bethpage Air Show is set for Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jones Beach is located off Meadowbrook Parkway South. Admission is free, but there is a $10 parking fee charged on-site, but is waived for those with a New York State Parks Empire Pass. This year’s show is headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, For more information, visit BethPageAirShow.com. Courtesy Alexa Wahl

AlExA WAhl, A recent graduate of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College, will fulfill her childhood dream of flying in the Bethpage Air Show. 28 at 10 a.m., as the first group. Wahl will pilot the third plane in the line, flying a PA-28-161, otherwise known as a Piper Warrior 3. It is the same plane she trained with at points in the program, and is classified as “low-wing,” meaning it’s more stable and easier to control, making it better for new pilots to operate. Wahl will join the 44 other pilots from the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College who have flown in the air show. Her mentor, Canders, will narrate the flights at the show and talk about the program for all the viewers to hear.

For some pilots, however, this air show will not be their first rodeo in the sky. Jessy Panzer is a true air show veteran. The Colorado Springs-based pilot was introduced to planes by her father, who worked at Duncan Aviation, a privately owned business jet service provider. He died in an accident when Panzer was just 10. When she is not doing air shows, Panzer works as a corporate private jet pilot. She began flying in air shows back in 2004, and the 43-year-old has since made her way to about 15 shows a year, except

for the coronavirus-ravaged 2020 dates. Panzer has flown solo as well as in duos and trios depending on the show. This will be her second time flying at Bethpage, but her first time doing it solo. “I’ll be back in my single-seat pink airplane,” she said. Panzer said she loves doing shows because “to see everyone’s faces after I perform, especially the little girls, makes it all great.” Panzer wants those girls to leave the show saying, “If she can do it, I can do it, too.” “I am very excited to be invited back to Bethpage,” Panzer added. “All performers work so hard to practice and maintain the planes so we can wow everyone in 10 minutes. A great show is going to be put on.”

Ongoing track work forces more LIRR changes

cOnTinuing cOnSTRucTiOn iS great news for some peak commuters, but bad news for everyone else, as Long Island Rail Road restores some service while cutting others. Summertime trains, however, return Memorial Day weekend on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches.

MALVERNE/WEST HEMPSTEAD HERALD — May 26, 2022

STAFF REPORT It’s been many long months of track work through the heart of the Long Island Rail Road. But all that construction is in the “homestretch.” Commuters will just have to endure a little more inconvenience in the meantime. During off-peak hours, at least. Weekend service between Penn Station and Huntington now operates hourly, according to new details from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with connecting service to and from Port Jefferson every two hours. Eastbound trains to Huntington depart up to 13 minutes later than what they did previously. Also getting a later start are midday weekday westbound trains on the Ronkonkoma line, by up to 25 minutes. Overnight eastbound trains will be as much as a half-hour late. Same is true for midday eastbound trains to Oyster Bay, although the 8:06 a.m., train from Jamaica to Oyster Bay will now depart a short time earlier at 7:53. “These service adjustments accommodate the final stages of work as we reach the homestretch of completing the LIRR’s most transformative projects,” said Catherine Rinaldi, the railroad’s interim president, in a release. “The schedule modifications optimize availability for crews to complete tasks while minimizing disruptions to scheduled service.” Those transfor mative endeavors

include both the $2.6 billion Main Line Expansion Project and the $11 billion East Side Access project looking to provide new service to Grand Central Terminal. The Main Line expansion is adding a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. MTA also plans to cut the 11:21 a.m., train between Farmingdale and Penn Station, as well as the 10:25 p.m., train between Penn Station and Huntington. Commuters are recommended to take the 10:37 p.m., train to Ronkonkoma, and transfer at Hicksville for the Port Jefferson-bound train. The 11:14 p.m., train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will originate in Hicksville at 12:31 a.m. Commuters are advised to take the 11:39 p.m., train from Penn Station toward Huntington to connect with this train. The 11:22 p.m., train between Huntington and Penn Station will end at Hicksville, where commuters can jump to the 11:48 p.m., train to New York City with added stops. But it’s not all cuts. MTA has added a weekday train departing Atlantic Terminal beginning at 8:22 a.m., making all stops to Jamaica. For peak trains, the 6:07 p.m., route between Atlantic Terminal and Babylon has been restored. Also, a new train departs Jamaica at 7:37 a.m., operating express to Atlantic Terminal, with connecting transfers from Hempstead, Baby-

Herald file photo

lon, Ronkonkoma and Oyster Bay Branch trains. The 6:09 p.m., train between Penn Station and Babylon will return to its normal schedule, stopping at Rockville Centre, Baldwin and Freeport only. The 7:12 a.m., train from Huntington to Penn Station will have an added Hicksville stop at 7:29 a.m. And the 6:21 p.m., weekday train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will now depart at 6:16 p.m. And one major piece of good news for those looking to get some sun: summeronly trains on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches return beginning Memorial Day weekend.

It’s a lot of new schedule to remember, which is why MTA officials recommend commuters depend on its TrainTime smartphone app, or by reviewing the Long Island Rail Road PDF timetables at MTA. info. The transit authority is making customer service agents available to answer questions each day using live chat through its app between 6 a.m., and 10 p.m. To get someone on the phone, dial 511, or (718) 217-5477, and simply say “representative” at the start of the prompt. Automated schedule information is available at that phone number, however, around the clock.

Spurred by an eye-opening early league loss, the Malverne baseball team, as reigning Nassau Countywide Conference 2 champion, kicked off an almost monthlong winning streak. The Mules, however, weren’t the only team on a roll this spring in Countywide 1, as rival Jericho had reeled off its own nine-win skein through April. Though impossible to know at the time, when the conference titans first clashed May 4, the host Jayhawks would come within one inning of dashing Malverne’s hopes at making history. Instead, the Mules’ 4-3 seventh-inning comeback win proved decisive in securing Malverne – which finished 13-3 in league – a half-share of the Countywide 1 title, giving the school its first back-to-back baseball championships this century. The Jayhawks, who went on to take two of three in the teams’ series, are the conference co-champions. A 15-4 loss to Valley Stream South on April 18 was the jolt that kickstarted Malverne’s surge, sparking an immediate retort from the Mules of five straight 10-run wins – the first two against VSS – and a 9-2 run to close the season. “The [VSS] loss was a turning point,” said ninth-year Malverne coach Joe Dunn – whose program, before last season, had last won a conference title in 1991. “The guys looked around afterward and said, ‘What are we doing?’ From then on, we focused on just putting the ball in play. When you do that, good things can happen.”

SEnIoR ThIRD BASEmAn Daniel Quaranto batted .444 this spring and led the 13-3 Mules in stolen bases with 20. Added Dunn: “We always knew we’d have the pitching to back us up.” Named one of Long Island’s Top 100 Baseball Players for 2022 by Newsday, Malverne ace Matt Merkel encountered no jinx in second season as the Mules’ top starter. The junior southpaw – who went 5-0 on the hill as a sophomore – finished 6-1 with 60 strikeouts and a 2.08 earned run average. The twotime All-League selection also paced the Mules at the plate, batting a club-high .467 with a team-leading .600 slugging percentage. “Matt Merkel’s a phenomenal pitcher, always around the

zone, great changeup,” said Dunn. “And he’s an absolute terror as a lefthanded hitter.” Malverne seniors Daniel Quaranto and Matt McKeon joined Merkel on the AllLeague roster. Quaranto, a lefthanded hitting third baseman, was second on the club batting .444 and led the Mules with 20 stolen bases. McKeon, a corner infielder/relief pitcher, hit .426 and slugged a Merkelesque .596, while picking up three wins out of the bullpen. Mules for mer infielder Parker Mercado (.436 avg.) “found his natural position,” said Dunn, in his first full season at catcher, while fellow

senior Steven Daly (.408) looked equally at home in his first year joining Malverne’s rotation, going 2-0 as a starter with a 1.66 ERA. Junior Yadier Tavarez (.371) went 2-1 as Malverne’s No. 2 starter, while switch-hitting senior outfielder Keondre Greene batted .360 for the repeat champions. “These guys earned it,” Dunn said. “We started out just hoping to do well in the first half. When we finally saw that it was us and Jericho, the guys said, ‘Let’s get this done.’” He added: “So they shortened up their swings, got some base hits. And got it done.”

community, which is basically split into three communities, with shared but varied interest between public, private and religious-school students. There are lines in our community, and areas we need to improve in.” For Avvinti, the future of the Malverne school district is bright. “I’m excited about all the capital improvements that we get to do because of that budget,” she said. “We now get to do foreign language for grades three to five and renovate and replace the track and field so it’s like when we first had it done, in pristine condition.” Avvinti, a 20-year Malverne resident, is a court clerk for the Village of Floral Park. She and her husband, Vito, have a daughter who is a 2020 graduate of Malverne High School and another who is in 10th g rade. She is extensively involved in the community, volunteering for the village’s holiday festivities and serving on the superintendent’s advisory board, and has previously served on the PTA. In her next term, Avvinti said, she hopes to continue to equip students with post-graduate life skills. “I want to ensure that we maintain excellence academically,” she said, “but provide not only these academics, but everything they need for when they come out of school and make sure that they’re ready for the next jour ney in their lives, whether it be college or trade school.”

continued from front page sau County Police Department and a lifelong West Hempstead resident. Volunteerism runs in her family: Her son and husband are the chief and commissioner, respectively, of the West Hempstead Fire Department. She has held a number of positions on the PTA and PTSA, was a Nassau County Girl Scout leader for eight years and is a current member of the executive committee of the Nassau-Suffolk School Boards Association. This was Brohm’s fifth election to the school board, and for her it means an opportunity to maintain the district’s reputation of excellence. “I look forward to continuing to cultivate the great education program here, and help the administration and the rest of the board see that through,” she said, “and I appreciate all the support I received from the community.” The biggest accomplishment during her time on the board, she said, has been the implementation of a pre-K program in the district. “My one major goal over the last 15 years before I was even on the board was to get a pre-K program in West Hempstead,” Brohm said, “and now we have a fully funded pre-K.” Cole works in business development for a software company, and previously worked in film production and media.

He has coached various athletic teams and helped out on other candidates’ campaigns for school board. “There is no greater measure of the quality of your community than the quality of its public schools,” Cole said. “For every one of us, whether we have children in district, in private schools or don’t have kids at all, the quality of our schools is something we all need to focus on and something we need to make sure we are getting the value we

deserve, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve to make sure we do just that.” On the board, he hopes to bridge the divides in the community. “One of my big areas I want to focus on is our culture around our schools, and continue to improve and cultivate a culture of excellence, a culture of empathy and a culture of community within the student body, administration and families,” Cole said. “I think that is really critical.

Concrete for a home by the water?

Q. We have always wanted to build a home from scratch, and want to plan a house that is modern, fireproof, hurricane-proof and checks all the boxes for a dream house. We have a property to build on, but realize the economy is working against us, since the cost of everything seems to be much higher than when we started our wish list. Someone we know suggested building with concrete block to save money, but the house will be near the bay, and we’re wondering whether it will survive a flood, especially since we know already that we have to have the living floor above the flood height. Ask The What do you recommend for building our home? Architect Concrete is what we’ve been seeing, but won’t that be expensive?

A. Concrete is a great choice for building in a flood zone, but not the best material system for saving money over alternate building systems and materials you could onte eeper choose from, especially for residential construction. The reason why concrete buildings are built, in general, is to meet much more stringent building laws to accommodate a larger number of people, protecting us from fire spread while being very strong and low in maintenance. The code (or written law) is in place to create safe buildings. Fire, wind and flood are very real and ominous threats. What you have typically seen in flood zone areas is first floor full foundations surrounding the garage and storage areas. Living spaces are required to be above the flood level. You have to be prepared for much more labor-intensive construction above the lowest level if you hope to build out of concrete. Concrete buildings require steel reinforcing rods — tons of them — set into configurations before the concrete is formed and poured. The concrete is generally formed from wood formwork constructed by carpenters, who must then strip the forms away from the concrete after it has set up and is curing. If this sounds expensive, consider that a wood structure, properly designed and covered in a flood-resistant membrane and cement board, can meet the same regulations for a lot less cost. This is only because one-, two- or three-story structures can still meet the requirements of current law without the excessive strength or flame resistance that larger buildings are required to have. Concrete block isn’t a better choice. It won’t resist movement like a monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete wall will. Steel wall studs covered with sheets of concrete board, finished with stucco, also stand up very well if anchored correctly, for a lot less cost. You can create the same modern look and avoid the cost of a full concrete structure if you use the wood or steel wall studs above the reinforcedconcrete lowest level. Instead of poured-concreteformed floors, consider wood floors that accommodate insulation better, resist fire and have a sprinkler system that will save the home and contents more economically as well. Good luck!

to todAy’s puzzle

opinions

y friend Mike is a gentle soul with a quick sense of humor. We met when we studied journalism at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center and worked endlessly on the school newspaper, Seawanhaka. I still see Mike once in a while, when a few of the old Seawanhaka gang get together at a diner. Mike would joke as always on those afternoons over lunch, and regale us with stories about his latest trip to Italy, where he and his JiM wife have relaBERnsTEin tives. Our conversations also took place online. Mike has always been with us on the issues of the day — our disbelief and fear at the rise of the radical right and the demise of what was once the Republican Party, our dislike of the gun culture, our deep sympathy with the people in Ukraine, our disgust with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But after the back-to-back mass mur-

ders over the weekend of May 14-15, in Buffalo and Orange County, Calif., I received an unusual email from Mike. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” he began. He wrote that a cousin from Italy had been visiting, and went to a local gun range. He described the costs involved — $25 for a short “first time” course with an instructor, renting a gun for $25 per hour plus the cost of ammunition and the use of a target. He continued, apparently with some excitement, “They have all different kinds of pistols and some rifles.” His cousin had tried out a pistol, her friend had shot a rifle, and then they switched. She had urged Mike and his family visit the range. Then his note became alarming: “I’ve never fired a gun in my life,” he wrote, “but I think I may stop off at this place sometime this week and get my feet wet.” And then: “Maybe after learning how to shoot, I pick up a small but lethal handgun. I could get one legally, but it’s a huge hassle. I could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and

‘

buy one there. I’m just getting spooked by knowing that so many wackos in New York may have a gun.” I quickly wrote to ask if he was serious. His response was heartbreaking. “I’m serious about going to the range for some fun shooting,” he wrote. “Just for the experience. I am semi-serious about the gun.” In the back of his mind, he concluded, “I see myself shooting some a-hole who approaches me on the street asking for money.” Maybe that shouldn’t have been a surprise. America has become the gun capital of the world. In 2021, Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms, the gun industry’s second-busiest year on record. Our country has also become the mass-shooting capital of the world. The shooting in Buffalo was the 198th such incident this year. And the year isn’t half over. Mike watched the coverage of Buffalo just like the rest of us. He reads the newspapers the same as we do. But he seems to have come to different conclusions. He may, he thinks, need a gun. The rest of us old college newspaper

could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and get one there.’

guys don’t think we do. We all have different thoughts and different reasons for thinking the way we do. And that’s fine. But I can’t helping wondering what happened to the Mike I’ve known for so many years, the guy who wrote funny columns for the college newspaper and is still funny after all these years. What is it he is afraid of ? And why? Many others have the same feelings and fears, and I have the same questions for them. I have no desire to own a gun. Why do they? Why do they see the senseless killing of Black shoppers in Buffalo, worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a mass shooting in New Orleans, and think the solution is to arm themselves? The National Rifle Association has always preached that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” But the proliferation of guns has never seemed to me a solution to the proliferation of guns. Mike is a good guy who may well want a gun. The trouble is, how many other good guys are out there who feel same way? And why? Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

When the coronavirus pandemic hits home

wo Sundays ago my husband tested positive for Covid-19. He was at home on the East Coast and I was visiting grandkids on the West Coast. It was the very last night of my trip; he called to say he had a cold, so we did the Covid home test together on FaceTime. He aced it, and not in a good way. He had Covid. I had been away for a week, but was leaving at 4:30 the next morning for home. He managed on his own for 16 hours while RAnDi I flew across the KREiss country and into ground zero for germs. I was super anxious all the way home, perseverating about vaccinated older people getting very sick. Dying. We have lost friends, and we have lived through all the dreadful accounts of ventilator hell. Since the beginning, we have been exceedingly careful with ourselves and others. How could this happen? Would it go well? Would I be next? After two years of hiding out and

hunkering inside and ordering in meals and missing family and friends, Covid still found us. After tracking the first available vaccines like bloodhounds and traveling two hours each way to get our jabs, Covid still found us. In our 54 years together, we’ve been through some stuff. Now my husband and I needed to get him through a global pandemic that has already killed 1 million Americans. I know how to be a good nurse, but there’s sometimes a mash-up among the head and the heart and the sense of humor. I can take blood pressure and use an oximeter and make chicken soup and basically devote my day to hydrating the patient. I also can worry myself sick with all the what-ifs. I can also laugh at the absurd. I developed my own prescription for loving care laced with a bit of dark humor. In the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so I was all in. No joking at all. As he improved, however, and when he started asking for seconds of dessert, and fluffed pillows, my inner Nurse Ratched

emerged. We set him up in our bedroom, and I moved into another room. Our rule was that, with a mask, he could come out for meals at a table in our den. I would put his food out and go back to the kitchen, which was my space. Initially he was grateful for every morsel of food and gesture of kindness. As the days moved along, he suggested I had overcooked his eggs and handed him the wrong salad dressing. You’re so right. This. Isn’t. About. Me. (I don’t really buy that.) But I’ve been doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walks, dishwashing, obsessive, never-ending handwashing, and disinfectant spraying. Don’t get me wrong; he is a model patient. I am not a model nurse. Not as bad as the fabled Ratched, who did a job on Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but I’m no Walt Whitman, either. Yes! You didn’t know? He didn’t just write poetry; he was a skilled nurse. We are now five days in since my husband tested positive. The CDC says

n the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so there was no joking.

he can go out and play. According to new guidelines, I was never required to isolate if I felt OK. We are not following these guidelines. We are both isolating until he tests negative. I will then test, and we’ll move on from there. Have no doubt: This Covid thing is one nasty bug. My husband has just about every pre-existing condition you can have, and he is feeling every one of his 76 years. The take-home lesson is this: We might be very sick or dead without the vaccines. Thank heaven and whatever powers may be, thank our scientists and our medical community and all the friends and neighbors and fellow Americans who took vaccines and boosters. I have no doubt at all that my husband’s apparent mild course of illness is because he has some protection from the vaccines. We were also able to get him Paxlovid, the anti-viral drug from Pfizer, and that seems to help, too. Today I can say, so far, so good. I hope he continues to do well. I hope I don’t get sick. Now I must make him a tuna sandwich, not too much mayo, a little bit of onion. Lightly toasted bread. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Your voice is more important now than ever

t’s likely the eve of the destruction of Roe v. Wade — an act likely to be met with cheers or outrage, depending on which side of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court abortion case people land on. And what comes next could very well be up to your state legislator. How the court could change course so dramatically in less than 50 years is something scholars will debate for a long time. But it’s not exactly unprecedented. In fact, it’s not even uncommon. The court has overturned its own decisions more than 230 times since 1810, according to the Library of Congress. That makes such actions an almost annual event, on average. Many of those mind changes were for the better. Like the famous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling in 1954, which upended the “separate but equal” policy established by Justice Melville Fuller’s court with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 created the “you have the right to remain silent” Miranda rights we see over and over on cop shows. But Miranda actually overturned two rulings from just a decade earlier, both involving criminal suspects who were denied access to lawyers during police interrogations. And there have been decisions that just made things worse. Like Citizens United v. FEC, which has helped shape the “soft

letters My body, my choice? Please! To the Editor: The argument about a woman’s right to control her body is confusing to me. It seems to apply only when certain parts of society want it to. They say confession is good for the soul, so perhaps that’s why Randi Kreiss felt the need to share with us that she had an abortion (“Threat to choice has women on the march,” May 12-18). The following week, a reader shared that she’d had two abortions (“Randi’s ‘raised voice for women,’” May 19-25). I’m happy that this reader was financially and emotionally ready to welcome children after her abortions. If all of our parents waited for that, I wonder how many of us would have been born. That’s not so much a judgment of these two ladies who shared their abortion stories, but more a commentary on our society. But where were these same coura-

money” political landscape we have today. In 2010, the court, let by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that giving money to political campaigns — no matter how much money — was an extension of free speech granted by the First Amendment. That ruling wiped out two previous Supreme Court decisions, including one brought by Sen. Mitch McConnell against the McCain-Feingold Act, which limited such campaign expenditures. Many of these legal “course corrections,” for lack of a better term, were met with controversy. And if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, its ruling will reverberate through a large number of elections and a wide range of legislation to come. Yet what’s before the court isn't a criminalization of abortion. Instead, it would likely return the country to what existed before Roe — individual states creating a mish-mash of laws ranging from full legalization of the procedure to its outright ban. New York has a complicated history with abortion. While many believe the state would remain pro-choice, it wasn’t always that way here. In fact, abortion has been legal in New York only since 1970 — legislation signed into law just three years before Roe of a procedure that had been outlawed, for the most part, since 1830. But abortion access will completely disappear in other states — the quickening

of a process that has been under way for the past couple of decades. The future of abortion in New York will almost assuredly lie with Albany. State lawmakers will be compelled to respond to the ruling, and could put in place laws codifying the original Roe ruling, dismantle legalization, or possibly finding some space in between. No matter which direction legislators lean, what is certain is they need to hear from you. For abortion? Against abortion? With conditions? No conditions? This is the time to speak up and be a part of the legislative process. We spend a lot of time reading — and hearing — about individual lawmakers’ positions. In the end, however, their job is to represent their constituents. That’s us. But they can’t represent us if they don’t know our positions on legislation before them, or the bills that could wind up on their desks thanks to the actions of the Supreme Court. Call your Assembly member or state senator. Write them letters. Send them emails. Visit their district offices. Don’t wait for someone else to speak for you, because if everyone waits, then no one is speaking. And with high court changing so dramatically in recent years, it's more important than ever to establish those relationships with lawmakers, because what happens next truly depends on you.

et’s be clear. The calculated illegal leak of a draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is akin to leaking the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal. It puts American democracy and institutions at grave risk. As challenging as it may be given the passions of both sides, we need to put aside whether we agree or disagree that the draft Roe v. Wade decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and appreciate the far larger issue: that the leak is a cyniRonaLd J. cal effort to corrupt the confidenRosenbeRg tial deliberative process of our judiciary. It not only improperly sought to create a national firestorm prior to the court’s issuing a final decision, but also to destroy the necessary confidentiality, internal trust and mutual respect needed among the justices and staff. Unlike the other two branches of government — Congress and the executive branch — which have elected office holders who are answerable to their constituents every two, four of six years — the

federal judicial branch has unelected judges and justices who are appointed for life. The reason our founders provided for this was to attempt to immunize them from the outside forces and partisan influences that are involved in getting reelected or re-appointed. The founders of this great republic enacted a Constitution that provided for an executive branch and a legislative branch, both of which are answerable to the citizens — and thus also subject to being lobbied and picketed by them. Judges, meanwhile, are obligated to decide matters impartially, without bias, prejudice or partisan influences, based solely on facts properly admitted into evidence in court and in accordance with applicable law. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to intimidate or influence judges outside court proceedings to try to get them to achieve your desired outcome. Picketing their homes or otherwise trying to intimidate judges or their families is a serious crime, and a threat to the premise of the judicial branch. Chief Justice John Roberts’s statement after the leak only hinted at his level of anger when he described it a “betrayal of the confidences of the

LetteRs geous people who are defending “my body, my choice” when we were corralled to get the Covid shots? Those who chose not to lose their jobs included firefighters, police, nurses and doctors who had no choice but to work to save all of us. And I would love for someone to explain to me why my family will have to take a Covid test to get back into the U.S. in July after a family vacation. Are there not thousands of illegals crossing our border every day who are neither tested nor made to be vaccinated? Get ready, people: “My body, my choice” is going to open up a whole new Pandora’s box. Physician-assisted suicide, or “medical aid in dying,” is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, and 10 years down the road, or sooner at the rate we’re going, I can bet you, in keeping with the disrespect for human life and the need for doing selfishly what is good for us, we’ll be looking at the following:

Court.” And words alone will not heal the historic damage done to the integrity of the court or sufficiently punish the leaker(s). In its wake, Roberts instructed the marshal of the court to conduct an internal investigation into source of the leak to Politico for the purpose of punishing those involved. There are those in Washington, however, who suggest that assigning this responsibility to an office whose role is not even remotely one of investigations is akin to asking a shop teacher to construct the Hoover Dam. He or she might be able to do it, but you wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the final product. At a time when the very integrity of the high court has been violated, there are voices calling for a stronger response. Glenn Fine, of the Brookings Institute, has written that what is needed is an investigative office worthy of its name and prepared for its purpose. In a recent commentary, Fine wrote, “This situation is why I argued … that the federal judiciary needed an experienced, professional, permanent internal investigative office — an inspector general.” Also in question is what happens to the traitorous individual who is ulti-

mately identified as the leaker? If he or she is an attorney working for one of the justices, the absolute minimum threat should be a highly publicized, humiliating permanent disbarment. The leaker should also face criminal charges, and if there is no current statute providing for criminal prosecution, Congress should immediately enact and implement one. A news service quoted Michael Frisch, described as a former disciplinary counsel in Washington, suggesting that if the perpetrator is an attorney, “It's going to be a career-defining, if not career-ending moment.” Americans need to understand that this leak went far beyond the question of Roe v. Wade. It sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders. You may agree or disagree with the rulings of the Supreme Court, but it is designed to reflect the highest principles of what we call a democratic republic. Damage it and you damage that crucial foundation upon which America has been built and thrived for 233 years. 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.

FRamewoRk by Tim Baker

Getting rid of elderly parents who have begun to be a financial, emotional and social burden — or a husband who has Alzheimer’s, and whose wife is emotionally drained, can no longer afford to care for him at home and can’t afford long-term care because that will deplete her financial security. Disabled children, homeless people and then the mentally ill will all be at risk in this disposable society we are creating for ourselves. Many of us are looking around and not recognizing this country that we love so much. The “my body, my choice” movement is bringing all of this to a head. How dare that reader speak of “religion-saturated politics” and how it should not be allowed to damage this country more than it already has. Spare me your preaching, sister, because you’ve got it all backward. JAne DAnTonA GRoGAn Lynbrook
