Five Towners help Ukraine Donating food, money and other vital items By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Responding to Russia’s continuing invasion of Ukraine, residents of the Five Towns are helping in any way they can, collecting and sending supplies to the war-torn country or offering their homes to refugees who make it to the U.S.

Dr. Tatyana Kopp, who lives in Woodmere, began collecting donations for Ukrainians on March 2 because “my heart just hurt,” she said. “As a mother, as a human, as anything — just seeing what’s going on is heartbreaking,” Kopp added. “The fact that not only are these people going through problems [and] the worst time of their lives,

they’re also being separated as families.” Although Kopp has contributed to a variety of relief efforts, she and her husband, Miroslab, both felt a personal connection to the situation in Ukraine. Both emigrated from Eastern Europe as children, Miroslab from Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, when he Continued on page 14

Village trustee is running for state Assembly lmargaria@liherald.com

Longtime Cedarhurst village trustee Ari Brown, who serves as the deputy mayor, is running in the April 7 special election for former 20th district Assemblywoman Melissa “Missy” Miller’s vacant seat. Brown, a Republican, will be opposed by Democrat David Lobl. Miller, who endorsed her fellow GOP member, is confident Brown will support her priorities that include being a strong voice for taxpayers and for vulnerable members of society, she said. “I am supporting Ari Brown in the race for the New York State Assembly because he shares my priorities,” said Miller. “He will fight for tax relief, push for our fair share of school aid and stand up for vulnerable members of our society, including persons with special needs and serious health issues. We need Ari Brown.” Brown, 54, has served at least two decades on local government boards as a Cedarhurst village official. He grew up in Franklin Square before he moved to Cedarhurst with his family in 1991. From 1998 to 2001 he served on the village’s zoning board – a position that fit his qualifications with his background in construction. He eventually became a trustee in 2001 and was appointed as deputy mayor in 2019. He also served on the architectural review board. “I am eager to put my experience to work in the New York State Assembly,” Brown said. “Most of all, I am committed to be a sound and sensible voice in the face of the extreme politics that have taken hold in Albany.” Brown is also running on the Conservative Party line and plans to stand firmly against attempts to defund the police and against the ‘cashless bail’ law. As a father of seven and grandfather of two, Brown

CedARhuRSt deputy MAyoR Ari Brown, a Republican, is running for Melissa Miller’s vacant seat in the 20th district assembly. will also advocate for more “parental choice” in the education system and get to the bottom of former Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s 2021 Covid nursing home scandal, where a report about the number of nursing home residents who died was concealed. Returning the state’s economy to pre-Covid standards is part of Brown’s financial and economic plan. This includes reversing the $1 billion commuter tax – or con-

gestion pricing – which affects all automobile traffic entering and leaving Manhattan south of 60th Street. Nassau County Republican Chairman Joe Cairo endorsed Brown because of his extensive experience and success serving Cedarhurst and because of Brown’s goals to control taxes, fight anti-Semitism and revise the current bail reform laws. “He’s our Republican candidate to succeed Missy Miller in the 20th assembly district, he also has the endorsement of the conservative party,” Cairo said. County Executive Bruce Blakeman proudly endorsed Brown and believes he has the experience to hold the position. “Ari will stand up to the anti-police liberals in Albany, fight anti-Semitism wherever it exists and make our community more affordable for working class families,” Blakeman said. “Residents of the 20th Assembly District deserve a voice of reason in Albany,” Brown said. “The extreme politicians have gone too far in Albany, making our neighborhoods less safe, undermining parental authority and bringing us spiraling taxes. I will stand up for our communities, support our police and work with residents whom don’t want a government that attempts to usurp their parental rights.” Lobl, 37, a Cedarhurst resident, said his understanding of what is important to his potential constituents is his reason for running. “I’m running for the New York State Assembly because the health and safety of our families and our communities is my number one priority,” he wrote in an email. “From supporting our first responders and standing with law enforcement, to reducing our tax burden and investing in our children’s education, I have the experience and commitment the South Shore needs fighting for us in Albany.”

Malverne mayor is running for Congress By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Village of Malverne Mayor Keith Corbett has officially announced last week that he is running for Democratic Rep. Kathleen Rice’s vacated seat in the 4th Congressional District seat. He joins Democrats County Legislator Carrié Solages, former Town Supervisor Laura Gillen and County Legislator Siela Bynoe in what is becoming a crowded field. As of press time, the lone Republican in the field is tech CEO Bill Staniford, of Lawrence. The primary is June 28. At the March 8 public safety campaign when Corbett began his stumping for being part of the House of Representatives, nearly 40 supporters from across the Congressional attended. They included church leaders, Democratic Party leaders, law enforcement, American Legion Post 44 members, and Freeport and Hempstead village officials, State Sen. Kevin Thomas, a Democrat, who represents the 6th Senatorial District. Corbett expressed that he wants more funding towards the police and social and mental health services, and wants to see bail reform laws revised. Last year, Nassau County police reported an increased number of illegal gun seizures and have again reported a spike in seized illegal guns this year. Corbett called on the federal government for assistance in dealing with the influx of these illegal guns in the county. He also noted some of his successes

A Malverne resident since 1982, Ed Mahoney, is a registered Republican who normally votes Democratic — and he favors Corbett. “He is going to be my choice for congressman. He was my choice for Mayor and I think he’s done an excellent job,” Mahoney said. Mahoney went on to say that many politicians do not follow through with their promises when they get into office. “Everything that I’ve ever asked him [Corbett] to do for these residents, he’s accomplished

and done at no taxpayers cost—that to me is a very big thing.” Malverne’s Deputy Mayor and Trustee Perry Cuocci also endorses Corbett because of his success — including making village technology upgrades, installing new LED streetlights and renovating the police department — as Mayor, all while facing difficulties brought by Covid. “I’ll miss him as our Mayor, but if you take a look at his track record, I think the things that he can do as congressman would be extremely beneficial to the community,” Cuocci said. “I think he has the knowledge, he has the resources [and] he has the contacts to get things done.” Initially, Corbett had no intention of being a congressman and wanted to contin-

ue serving Malverne. “I’m not going to Washington to leave Malverne,” Corbett said, “I’m going to Washington to stay in Malverne.” Should he win, Corbett stressed that he will open a main congressional district office in the village to ensure that Malverne and the surrounding communities are well represented. “Each and every day I use my personal, professional [and] political relationships” to keep Malverne as-is, Corbett said. These relationships are connected to his history in Malverne as a resident and village board official of 12 years and his current career as an attorney. “I have the relationships and the resources to bring back significant funding for the residents of this district, and look forward to continuing the fight for the fourth congressional district,” Corbett said after the campaign. “I’m a little fed up with what’s going on in Washington,” Corbett added. “I think we need to start getting back to basics and sending representatives down there to roll up their sleeves and do the work and I have the capacity to do that.” Another lifelong Malverne resident, Faith O’Brien,18, will be voting for the first time ever. She thinks Corbett cares for his residents: “He is a very approachable person and he genuinely cares about helping others,” O’Brien said. “Besides helping businesses during Covid and always being present around the village, he as a person just is always there to help.”

Lawrence school budget remains the same

March 17, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

By JEFFREY BESSEN

Last five years of Lawrence school budgets

jbessen@liherald.com

Should you glance at the box that highlights the last five years of Lawrence school budgets you will see the identical figures for three years of budgets, four years of the tax levy and two years of the tax-cap increase. Natural skepticism would trigger the question: How could the school district do that, especially during a time of rising costs of nearly everything and supply chain issues because of the coronavirus pandemic? “There are rising costs, but simultaneously there are decreases in some costs which gives us flexibility in delivering a top-notch education with a balanced budget,” said Jeremy Feder, Lawrence’s assistant superintendent of business and operations. For the record the proposed 2022-2023 operating budget for the Lawrence School District is $102.490 million. The tax-cap increase is flat and the amount of money raised by properties taxes – the tax levy – also remains the same as the current fiscal plan. State aid to Lawrence went up 1.4 percent to $13.011 million. Feder said that along with financially supporting the contracted portions of the budget such as teachers, administrators and other staff, the fiscal plan includes

money for renovations of classrooms, the athletic wing and library, installation of air conditioning, upgrades to the heating and ventilation system and other site improvements. At Lawrence Middle School, which is part of the Broadway Campus that also houses the elementary school, the budget supports renovations to the cafeteria, classrooms and gymnasium, locker replacement, installation of air conditioning and improvements to the heating and ventilation system and other site upgrades. There

will also be site improvements at the Lawrence Primary School and districtwide telephone and security updates. Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen said that the aim of the budget is to match the mission statement that includes ensuring that all the students reach their highest potential. The children learn new skills and how to adapt, how to use those skills to solve problems, how to communicate and be part of a team and along with social emotional learning they develop the ability to be flexible and have empathy for

others. Current enrollment in the five district schools is 2,366 and there are 6,219 nonpublic school students across the school district. “This is reflected in the work we do,” she said. “It continues the excellent learning opportunities for students, while remaining fiscally responsible.” The district will vote to adopt the preliminary budget at the April 11 Board of Education meeting. A budget hearing is scheduled for May 3 and the budget vote and trustee election is on May 17.

Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School welcomed March, and the Jewish month of Adar, with festive programs, unique themed days and intense sporting events. The month of Adar is an exciting time. It is when the holiday of Purim is observed. Purim is a celebration of the Jewish people’s victory over those who attempted to exterminate them. Purim commemorates these events and is a time of joy, celebration, and festivities. It is in this spirit that HAFTR held “Decades Day,” followed by “Anything but a Backpack Day” and continued with the girls’ varsity basketball semifinals. On March 3, students took part in “Decades Day,” where each grade dressed up in the style of a specific decade. The freshmen were assigned the 1990s, and students could be seen sporting grunge-style flannel shirts, overalls and fun animal prints. Sophomores covered the 1950s, with the girls wearing big skirts and white

shirts with carefully combed back hair. The juniors brought back the groovy 1970s, dressing in tie-dye shirts and eccentric patterns. The seniors represented the 1980s, flaunting scrunchies, big hair, and bright colors. Lastly, the faculty donned outfits from colonial times. Everyone enjoyed walking around the school and getting a blast from the past with all the entertaining outfits. The following day stud e n t s p a r t i c i p at e d i n “Anything but a Backpack Day,” which encouraged yra students to bring their books to school in anything except a backpack. The student body and faculty displayed tremendous creativity, with the most absurd items brought as a replacement for their usual backpacks.

Students brought a wide array of objects including a sled, garbage pail, janitor mop bucket, stroller, cooler, garbage bag, skateboard, and even a wheelbarrow! The most unforgettable item had to be a pink toy car driven by j u n i o r A n n a Ru t h Boxer. HAFTR students had the best day bringing their wacky items to all of their classes in place of their everyday bags. The excitement continued as the girls’ varsity basketball team, the Lady Hawks, advanced to the playoffs. The team boasted a strong regular season eidel 11-1 record. After winning the first playoff game against Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy, HAFTR advance to a semifinal against The Frisch School.

NASSAU HERALD — March 17, 2022

Theme days kick off March, and hoops too sium while everyone watched the game play out. The score was close the entire time, with several lead changes. Even though Frisch was up by 10 points in the third quarter, the Lady Hawks continued playing hard. Megan Spivak made some exceptional shots, and Ruthee Rosner played intense defense. The Lady Hawks showed teamwork and passion and fought hard for the lead. With everyone sitting on the edge of their seats, the Lady Hawks rallied and won 60-56. It was a great game and we are all excited to see the Lady Hawks take on Stella K. Abraham High School for Girls for the championship in a game between a couple of Five Towns schools. And HAFTR was victorious defeating SKA for the crown. All of these events were a huge success, and HAFTR students look forward to more memorable days ahead.

The Lawrence School District reported that two swastikas were etched on a metal plate outside a classroom in a hallway of the elementary school portion of the Broadway campus that also houses the middle school. Stating in a districtwide text that “the district is horrified,” Lawrence Superintendent Dr. Ann Pedersen wrote: “This is a hate crime. Lawrence has zero tolerance for hate.” She added that the incident was reported to the Nassau County police. “The pain caused by this is so contrary to our mission statement and the kindness I see reflected by the member of this beautiful community,” Pedersen stated. “It is terrible to report such an incident, but necessary to engage in conversation that dismantles hate.” A hate crime is defined in New York state, as “a traditional offense that is motivated by bias. A person commits a hate crime when one of a specified set of crimes is committed targeting a victim because of a perception or belief about their race, color, national origin, ancestry, gender, religion, religious practice, age, disability or sexual orientation, or when such an act is committed as a result of that type of perception or belief. These crimes can target an individual, a group of individuals or public or private property.”

Honoring Arthur Feltheimer

procession of several vehicles, including the Legion Riders, Patriot Guard Riders and Woodmere Fire Department, moved down Irving Place pass Congregation Sons of Israel in Woodmere last Sunday to honor 100-year-old Arthur Feltheimer and his wife of 71 years, Harriet. A man of few words, especially when it comes to his World War II military service, Feltheimer said previously that the recognition “is very meaningful to me, and I feel very honored.” His service began in 1943, where he first went to Camp Upton, now the home of Brookhaven National Laboratory, on Long Island. Feltheimer was then assigned to Harrisburg, Pa., where he learned about airplane engines. He was transferred to Kelly Field in San

Antonio for basic training. From there he went overseas to Townsville in the Northern part of Australia. Feltheimer was discharged from the military at Fort Dix on Aug. 10, 1944. Involved for decades with the Jewish War Veterans group, he organized annual barbecues for disabled veterans of all faiths in Queens and Long Island. He received a special certificate from the 125-year-old group that serves as a voice for Jewish military personnel. “We’ve watched our grandfather give back to veterans all our lives, it’s a beautiful full circle moment to watch him being honored for his service now,” granddaughter Jamie Beitler told the Herald. –Jeffrey Bessen

Both now-sovereign countries were republics of the former Soviet Union at the time. “There definitely was a bit of a personal tug at the heartstrings,” Tatyana said. “I just feel like if somebody can do good, they should do it.” Using social media to spread the word, she asked for money, adult and children’s diapers, feminine products, personal hygiene kits, socks, underwear, first aid kits, bandages, acetaminophen and nonperishables. By March 7, she was ready to ship the donations — along with nearly eight boxes of clothing, $200 worth of food, 400 travel-size tubes of toothpaste, 40 bars of soap, $500 in cash and more from co-workers, neighbors, friends and friends of friends. She spent the $500 on food and other supplies. All together, the donations filled at least 30 boxes. “I was so pleasantly surprised,” Kopp said. The Village of Hewlett Harbor is also helping. Deputy Mayor Leonard Oppenheimer said that village officials plan to go door to door to make a resource list, asking residents if they are interested in contributing to the cause — money, clothes, space in their homes for refugees or business connections that might be of help. “People have resources, and we’re trying to figure out what those resources are

so we can match them to the needs of the people who are going to need it,” Oppenheimer said. He plans to open his home to a Ukrainian family seeking refuge. Congregants of the Chabad House of Hewlett have been as gathering supplies — clothes and first aid and hygiene products — and hand-written letters to ship to Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Last week, Hewlett High School students helped pack and ship the Chabad House’s donations, filling nearly 40 packages. “Generally speaking, the Chabad movement in Ukraine is the main

resource for the Jewish community and for rescue and support,” said Rabbi Nochem Tenenboim, who leads the Chabad House. “For people who have relatives in Ukraine who are trying to escape, we are in touch with Chabad rescue teams basically all over Ukraine.” Hewlett and Ogden elementary schools and Hewlett High School have teamed up to raise money for the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund.

FormEr naSSau county Executive Ed Mangano outside the federal courthouse in Central Islip in 2018. Mangano “monetized his power and influence and betrayed the people of Nassau County, most notable the Town of Oyster Bay.

Former Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, convicted in 2019 of accepting bribes and kickbacks in exchange for backing $20 million in indirect loan guarantees to Oyster Bay Town, should receive 17½ years in federal prison, the U.S. Attorney’s office said on March 10. The recommendation came as sentencing for Mangano and his wife, Linda, was rescheduled for April 14. They were originally to be sentenced March 23. No reason was offered for the change. Linda Mangano was convicted of conspiracy to obstruct justice, obstruction of justice, making false statements to federal investigators in connection wither job with Harendra Singh, a restaurateur. The U.S. Attorney’s office did not immediately offer a sentencing recommendation for Linda Mangano. In a statement, Kenneth Keating, attorney for Mangano, called the recommendation “astonishing.” A sentencing memorandum said that in addition to prison time, Mangano should pay full restitution “in the amount of the victim’s losses.” Prosecutors called Mangano’s crimes “a stunning abuse of power.” According to the sentencing memo,

RoboBoogie is Houston bound team to qualify for the world championships. They also won the third place Motivate Award. Hewlett High’s Bionica all-female robotics team won the third place Motivate Award at the Long Island competition at Syosset High School last weekend. FIRST stands for For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. The tech chal-

lenge competitions are for middle school and high school students. Following strict rules and under a six-week time limit, the teams raise money, design team brands and build and program industrialsized robots to accomplish specific tasks in competition. The student learn to think like engineers.

Rabbis from synagogues on Long Island and in New York City and Westchester headed to Poland this week to lean what the current and future needs are for Ukrainians. The group of 18 – the number stands for life in Jewish numerology – arrived in Poland on March 13 with much needed humanitarian aid for Ukrainians under siege by the Russian invasion in their country and medical supplies. Rabbis Shalom Axelrod from Young Israel of Woodmere, Ellie Weinstock from the Jewish Center of Atlantic Beach and Shmuel Ismach from Young Israel of Great Neck are part of the group. The UJA-Federation of New York organized the trip that began in Warsaw and continued through Tuesday. The group visited Przemsyl, a major transit hub for Ukrainian refugees, Lublin and Strodborow. The mission is part of the UJA’s ongoing humanitarian efforts which includes $5 million in grants that have been targeted to help Ukrainian.

Awkward moments day March 18 is here. I bet you didn’t know it is National Awkward Moments Day -- the day for us to celebrate awkward, embarrassing experiences that typically you’d never share with anyone. I consider this an important holiday, for in these days of social media where people post all the wonderful things they’ve done, the incredible vacations they took, the amazing achievements of their awesome kids, the “likes” they’ve received, it’s no surprise if you feel a bit shamed that things haven’t been going so well for you. Awkward Moments Day is the day to remind you that nothing goes right all the time. Everyone has times when they messed up, forgot, or did something idiotic. Your awkward moments may make you want to keep it secret. Never tell a soul. Though some secrets may be best kept quiet, others are good to get off your chest, have a good laugh, and take stock of your embarrassing, behavior. Acknowledge these moments with laughter instead of keeping them hidden and feeling shamed! So how about creating an Awkward Moments Party? Why not? It’s been an awkward year! If you decide to do so, as

the party’s host, take the lead. Share an embarrassing story of your own. Then, ask your friends to share theirs. But don’t compare! This is not a contest. We’ve all had awkward moments in our lives. Yes, you might be thinking, but I have more of those moments. Maybe yes, maybe no. Either way, know that none of us are perfect – even those whose tally of accomplishments, awards, and appearances seem to belie the possibiliinda ty that they’d do anything awkward, embarrassing or downright stupid! But appearances can deceive. There’s often a mismatch between public appearance and private angst. If you’re thinking, Why me? Why did this happen to me? Why can’t I do anything right? – listen to others’ awkward moments. Then you might start thinking, Why not me? Sure, some people have it better than me, but others have it a lot worse. Now instead of just writing about Awkward Moments, I’m going to share two of mine with you.

The first one is painful. I have nerve pain every single day because of a dumb decision I made five years ago. It was a snowy evening. To protect the carpet from salt that clients were trailing in on their boots, I moved the carpet runner from my w a i t i n g ro o m t o t h e entrance area. My workday was done. I was ready to lock up and join friends for an evening out. Without warning, I slipped on the tile floor, landing with a thud. I screamed like someapadin thing terrible had happened. It had, but I didn’t know what. Turns out I was carrying a coffee cup in my left hand that smashed into dozens of small sharp pieces, one of them slicing the nerve in my wrist. Freak accident! Stupid decision! Awkward Moment – to say the least!

Person to Person

The second one is humorous. I was taking my 6-year-old grandson to the Apple store in NYC. We were on the bus when he told me we get off here. “No,” I corrected him, “it’s the next

stop.” Well, when Ezra knows he’s right, he takes action. So he popped up, told the bus driver who had already shut the door that we were getting off here. The driver opened the door. What else could I do except follow Ezra out? And there in front of our eyes was the Apple store. Thank goodness, “Ph.D. outwitted by 6-year-old!” was not the day’s headlines – except in our family lore of Awkward Moments. Yes, some Awkward Moments will bring a smile to your face; some will be reminiscent of pain. When sharing a painful one, know that we all have pain and regrets we keep hidden. Sharing yours may encourage others to open up, clearing the way for a celebration of pain that might make it easier to deal with. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

OBITUARY

Former editor Andrea Halbfinger dies By REINE BETHANY rbethany@liherald.com

Andrea Halbfinger, an artist who was once a reporter and editor for the Herald Community Newspapers, died at her home in Manhattan on March 1. She was 81. She had been battling pancreatic cancer and Parkinson’s disease, said her son, David Halbfinger. Halbfinger worked for the Herald newspapers in the 1990s, covering Valley Stream and Nassau County. She and husband, M. William Halbfinger, raised two children, David and Caren, in Freeport. David is the politics editor for the New York Times. Caren is the public affairs director for the Westchester County Department of Health. William died in 1999. Halbfinger was born Andrea Sue Kanner on Feb. 17, 1941, in Brooklyn, the first child of S. Lee and Elsie (Frumkin) Kanner. A dedicated artist she produced more than 60 years of paintings and drawings. She started painting when at Bennington College and, according to her son David, continued her artwork in the overheated basement of the family home in Freeport. From 1971 until 2000, she painted vividly colored acrylics and oils with bold, expressive shapes on large canvases she stretched herself. These images represented “an ordering of chaos,” she wrote in one statement accompanying an exhibition of her work. Art was not her only passion. After she graduated from Bennington in 1962, her father urged her to

pursue a more practical career. She earned an M.S. in journalism from Columbia in 1963, and also met and married her husband, with whom she moved to Washington, D.C. In 1964, when the art critic for the Washington Post went out on maternity leave, Halbfinger, then 23, was hired to fill in. Her weekly reviews crackled with assertive, authoritative prose: offhandedly dismissing pop art as “a fad doomed to pass,’’ spotlighting the first exhibition of Native American art at the Interior Department, and recommending books for parents eager to cultivate an appreciation for art in their young children. A law-firm job for her husband led the family back to Brooklyn. They moved to Freeport in 1971. Halbfinger continued to write and also took up art teaching, working with children in Bellmore and Massapequa as well as with adults in Oceanside, and leading tours of New York galleries and museums. She became a bat mitzvah as an adult, an active member of Congregation B’nai Israel in Freeport and then of Congregation Ohav Shalom in Merrick. After the death of her second husband, Lawrence G. Wasserman in 2007, she moved to Manhattan. “Andrea was a good lady. She was very, very devoted to her kids,” said Halbfinger’s lifelong friend, June Cadel, who lives in Oceanside. Aside from her son and her daughter Caren, she is also survived by her brother, Dr. Steven R. Kanner of Lincoln, Massachusetts, her sister, Dr. Ellen B. Kanner, a Manhattan psychologist, and six grandchildren.

Lawrence High marks Women’s History Month In celebration of Women’s History Month, Lawrence High School’s African American Club partnered with GirlTrek to celebrate Harriet Tubman’s 200th birthday. Women’s History Month has been annually observed in March in the United States since 1987. To highlight the contributions of women throughout history and to recognize the unprecedented health crisis Black women face, the African American club members walked 2.2 miles in Tubman’s honor. Sneakers were left outside their classroom door, along with #WeAreHarriet signs as a reminder of her vital contributions. “It’s wonderful to see our students celebrate Women’s History Month and at the same time recognize the importance of their health,” Lawrence High Principal Dr. Lagna-

do-Papp said in a news release. “This month is a great opportunity to lear n and reflect on courageous women in the past and how their bravery made possible many of the opportunities and freedoms women have today.” GirlTrek is the largest public health nonprofit organization for African American women and girls in the United States with more than 1 million members. The group’s mission is to motivate women and girls to develop a habit of walking, as it is a practical first step to encourage healthy living. GirlTrek is inspired by African American women like Tubman who have made a groundbreaking impact on history. —Jeffrey Bessen

Family tag-lines In a world of one-liners, where so many are ready to feed you a line that alltoo-often steps over the line, it’s hard to draw the line as to what’s worthwhile. Nevertheless, the following are a collection of lines often repeated by members of my favorite family who lined up to share them: ■ Some folks will catch cold or catch hell before they catch on. ■ Seize even the rainy day. ■ If ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more people happy? ■ The world does owe you a living; you just have to work to earn it. ■ To be a real friend is to care enough ask, to care enough to listen and then to care enough about what you’ve heard. ■ Music is in the ear of the beholder. ■ It’s pretty sad when you’re sitting all by yourself, but you still want to change your seat. ■ In life, you need only be happy or angry. If things are good, be happy they are. If things are bad, then get angry enough to change them. ■ Blessed is the factual lie to protect a conceptual truth. ■ Global warning wouldn’t be such a terrible thing, if it were global warming of

the heart. ■ Sometimes wise and clever are too smart for their own good. ■ Odd how folks who won’t talk to you, don’t mind talking about you. ■ Do you make peace or bring it? ■ A light at either end still won’t help those with tunnel vision. ■ To reach your destination, you don’t have to “take” the road, you just have to travel on it. ■ It’s OK to speak before you think … but only to yourself and only in a whisper. ■ Before you walk in another’s shoes, check for athlete’s foot. ■ Too bad more are born to the Manor than to manners. ■ Perhaps the grass is greener because it’s better fertilized. ■ The show must go on, but not necessarily on and on and on and on. ■ Though it’s a small world, apparently there’s a still room for small minds. And my favorite: ■ Follow your heart, but bring an antacid. ©2022 Ron Goldman

Q. I own apartments, and like to think I’m a fair landlord, but I have a tenant who keeps their apartment at an extreme — like near 80 degrees — but also keeps the windows open. Recently, because of the high energy bills, which they don’t have to pay, since it’s a fixed rental fee, I looked into getting control of the thermostats and controlling them remotely. I need to keep energy costs in line, and I’m exasperated after talking with the tenant several times about this. Is there a legal limit to what the temperature can be kept at, and how do I make sure I don’t get a violation for what I’m about to Ask The do?

Miami Beach Modern Villa

his modern villa includes a kitchen and guest room with a full bathroom on the main level. A winding stairway brings you to sumptuous primary suite and lavish bathroom. There are also 3 more bedrooms and 2 more bathrooms on this level. The massive basement includes bathroom and outside entrance. Absolutely gorgeous!

A. One of the many

unpleasant parts of being a landlord is when tenants have no sensitivity for the cost of owning and running a building. It makes many well-meaning landlords not so wellmeaning, and that’s when the friction for control takes place. onte eeper The regulations for Nassau County, where your building is, do not include all communities. Two cities, Glen Cove and Long Beach, have their own regulations, as do some villages — namely Cedarhurst, Freeport, Great Neck, Great Neck Plaza, Hempstead, Lynbrook and Rockville Centre. Nassau County requires that, from Oct. 1 to May 31, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., the indoor temperature must be at least 65 degrees. From 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., the temperature must be at least 68. Most of the other jurisdictions have similar requirements, but you should go to their websites, because each is just a little different. Cedarhurst allows the temperature at night to be 62 degrees. Rockville Centre is the same as Nassau County. People living in a multi-family building, such as a condominium or a co-op, with a board and a superintendent, are advised to discuss the temperature with one or both of them. The bylaws and regulations for multi-family buildings can vary, and they may be allowed to establish their own regulations, but tenants have rights that could require the local governing authority to step in. Single-family rentals and two-family homes whose owners occupy at least half the dwelling are not covered by the regulations. In spring and fall, when temperatures fluctuate to greater extremes, people pay more attention to their thermostats. They also start asking more about insulation and windows. It isn’t uncommon to get calls from tenants of homes and apartments asking if they can get their landlord to increase the insulation, change the windows or raise the heat. Even though architects and engineers are aware of how it’s possible to save energy by finding ways to improve a building’s composition, the legal aspects are recommended to be handled by the health departments or housing authorities that make the rules and govern your jurisdiction. Good luck!

opINIoNS

f it were up to me, every president would be required to have a cat in the White House. The Bidens have dogs — Commander, a 4-month-old purebred German shepherd puppy, and Major, who was shipped back to the family home in Delaware after some unfortunate encounters with the White House staff. But the first family finally adopted a cat at the end of January — Willow, a green-eyed tabby. Jill Biden fell in love with the feline after it JAMES jumped up on a during a BERNSTEIN stage speech she was giving. She named the cat after her hometown, Willow, Pa. Dogs are fixtures at the White House. One famous pooch was Checkers, Nixon’s cocker spaniel, whose name he evoked to gain sympathy in a famous speech in 1952 to save his spot on the Republican ticket. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reim-

burse him for his political expenses. His speech worked, and he became Dwight Eisenhower’s vice president for two terms. Checkers is buried in a pet cemetery in Wantagh. Going back further, Franklin Roosevelt had his Fala, a Scottie; John F. Kennedy was given Pushinka, the daughter of Strelka, who had traveled into space aboard the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik, as a gift by then Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev. The Clintons had Buddy, a chocolate Labrador, and the Obamas had Bo, a Portuguese water dog. It seems almost expected that the president will have a dog. Not so much a cat, at least not so publicly. Perhaps this is because all of our presidents so far have been men, and men are supposed to love dogs and not necessarily cats, silly as this may sound. And maybe because dogs are still considered a part the American dream, along with the white picket fence and the station wagon (now an SUV). But to be sure, some of our greatest presidents had cats. One of my favorites, Abraham Lincoln, doted on cats. Lincoln

left his dog, Fido, home in Springfield, Ill., when he was elected. He was given two cats by Secretary of State William Seward. He fed them from the expensive White House china. His wife, Mary Todd, disapproved, But Lincoln, who had no love for his predecessor James Buchanan, who did little if anything to stop the rise of the Confederacy, said, “If the gold fork was good enough for former President James Buchanan, I think it is good enough for Tabby.” Lincoln was so enamored of cats, the story goes, that his attention was distracted by meowing at Gen. Ulysses S. Grant’s headquarters in City Point, Va., during the Civil War Battle of Petersburg in March 1865, weeks before the president was assassinated. There were other first felines. Teddy Roosevelt had a six-toed cat, Slippers, who was often spotted in the kitchen. Herbert Hoover’s Persian, Kitty, roamed the floors of the White House. The Coolidges owned Tiger, Blacky, Bounder, Timmie and even a bobcat named Smoky. Clinton’s daughter, Chelsea, had

one other than Abraham Lincoln fed his cats on White House china.

Socks. Socks had a song, a book and a website that was all about him. He was important at the White House. The president once became enraged at the White House press corps when camera crews enticed Socks to come closer by offering him cat food. But Socks never got along too well with Buddy the Lab, and eventually found a home with Clinton’s secretary, Betty Currie. According to presidential historians, only two of the nation’s chief executives — James K. Polk and Donald J. Trump — had no pets in the White House. Polk, who was only 49 when he was inaugurated in 1845, was viewed as ultra-serious, and busied himself with annexing a bunch of states during his time in office. When asked about his petless presidency, Polk responded, “No president who performs his duty faithfully can have any leisure.” We can all think of a few presidents who would disagree. Can we imagine a future presidential candidate whose platform would include welcoming a cat in the White House? Such a pledge would be purrrfect! Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

War in Ukraine evokes banality of evil

uddenly, a weekly newspaper seems just the right place to be talking about a war unfolding in real time. As I wrote last week, the minute-to-minute news of the unprovoked invasion of Ukraine leaves us feeling both horrified and helpless. We are thousands of miles away, but the war can feel as close as the devices in our pockets pinging out the latest news. Writing week to week offers some perspective. As a woman born just after World War II, I am seeRANDI ing this time with KREISS some distance and even hope. I believe that somehow, the killing will stop, and the world will turn again. Born in 1947, I have been a witness to the history of the Korean War (my dad was drafted), the Prague Spring, the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Vietnam War, the Six-Day War in Israel, the Iraq War, the 2013 uprisings in Egypt, the brief flame of democracy in Tiananmen Square, the Afghan War, the brutal wars in Rwanda and Congo, the uprisings in Cuba and Central America.

As we watch the Ukraine invasion, the wide-angle lens offers more hope than the micro view, which is excruciating. Just a few minutes ago, the media broadcast the most recent atrocity: Russian bombs destroyed a children’s hospital, burying an unknown number of children and maternity patients. This morning, the nuclear reactor at Chernobyl lost power, threatening radiation leaks, according to Ukraine authorities. The images of war are iconic, and we have seen them before. It is the knowledge that we have been here and done that and will likely be here again that is a discouraging commentary on humanity’s inability to live in peace. I saw a photo of parents putting young children on trains to neighboring Poland, mothers and fathers with hands pressed to the hands of the sons and daughters inside, saying goodbye. We have seen this before, too, when parents in Nazi-occupied European countries sent their children off in the arms of strangers. War has its own language, its own imagery. There is a banality to the deaths and separations and loss. We get

24/7 news streaming live from the foreign correspondents who report from the ground war as bombs explode in the background. Their work also has precedent. It was the reporters on the ground in Vietnam, like the young Dan Rather, who broadcast the truth of the conflict home to America, even as our leaders were betting on the fog of war to garner support for a wrong-minded intervention. I saw images yesterday of thousands of people sheltering in subway stations or the basements of buildings night after night as Russian bombs flattened their cities. That made me think of the Blitz in London, when Nazi planes flew overhead every night for 57 nights, destroying buildings while people took shelter in the city’s Underground. A few days ago, The New York Times ran a front-page photo of a family hit by shrapnel as they ran down a street in Ukraine. Two children lay there dead on the sidewalk. You can see the blood on their heads and clothes. I couldn’t help but remember the 1972 Vietnam War photo of a naked 9-year-old girl running from a napalm attack. At the time, readers questioned the ethics and taste of

publishing such a shocking and intrusive photograph. I thought about that when I saw the dead children on the front page of The Times. The reporters on the ground in Ukraine are covering another war phenomenon: the displacement of more than 2 million people, fleeing the fighting. The big wars in my time have produced massive migrations, and this war, too, will destabilize the lives of all the neighboring countries. The refugees have no idea when or how they might return. How shameful that this dislocation has become almost a cliché over the course of human history. We all want to help. Every agency needs money and, according to NBC, the best way to find a reliable charity is through websites like Charity Navigator or CharityWatch, which evaluate and track charitable organizations. The war in Ukraine is like many others in its images of bombed-out buildings and traumatized families. It is unique, sadly, for those caught in the fighting, whose lives are irreparably changed. It has also become a moment for us Americans to remember who stands with us in support of democracy, and who wears the face of calculated aggression. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

As gas prices rise, our confidence plummets

emember when gasoline cost just $2.84 per gallon? That might seem like a lifetime ago, now that drivers are finding prices closing in on $5 for regular. But believe it or not, it was just a year ago. It may be impossible at times to think beyond our own family budgets when it comes to skyrocketing fuel costs, but the cost at the gas pump affects everything around us that isn’t sourced and produced in our own backyard. And that’s pretty much everything — groceries, clothes, medicine, even this newspaper. If even a single drop of gasoline is needed to get a product from where it’s created to your front door, expect the cost of that product to jump. We haven’t seen a surge in gas prices like this since 2008, when the tail end of a decade-long energy crisis spiked the cost per gallon by more than 35 percent over the previous year, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Something needs to give, and soon. Democrats in the Nassau County Legislature want to provide a little bit of help by suspending the gasoline sales tax here. That’s a 4.25 percent levy, which last year amounted to 12 cents per gallon, but is now up to 19 cents. A savings of $2 to $3 per fill-up might not seem like a lot, but that would add up. Sure, Nassau would lose money under

letters Randi’s out of line To the Editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “A nation divided by pandemic, or splintered?” (Feb. 17-23): Kreiss calls people “stupid,” and she characterizes people who like Trump as being “ignorant of science” and as people who put politics over all else. That is disrespectful, and unprofessional. She seems to be obsessed with attacking former President Trump rather than just pointing out his faults with respect. She calls him a “cancer.” She then attacks GOP officeholders as people who are “willing to traffic in lies to keep power.” Then Kreiss proceeds to attack eight Republicans by name, and she refers to them as “reprehensible,” calling one a “nut” and Trump’s metastasis. This is clearly not respectable disagreement. It is literary political hostility toward Trump and Republicans, and it is unprofessional. She calls the Republicans “a heartless group” who cruelly use the uninformed and vulnerable, and who are stepping over dead bodies in their rush toward 2024. It was clearly a political hit piece.

that proposal, but the county has been making at least an extra nickel per gallon over the last several months, so it could still finish ahead. Lawmakers in Albany want to take it a step further by suspending state gas taxes. That would be a heftier savings — nearly 48 cents per gallon. But unlike Nassau, the state hasn’t made any extra money during the gas price surge, because its taxes are flat, not a percentage. The state took 48 cents out of every $2.84 gallon of gas purchased a year ago, and is taking 48 cents out of every $4.47 gallon of gas purchased today. That money — more than $1 billion a year — goes toward maintaining our highways and bridges, and provides hundreds of millions of dollars to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. There was no windfall there, and so any losses, as Gov. Kathy Hochul has pointed out, could have devastating effects on New York’s already stressed infrastructure. If Nassau were to indeed suspend its sales tax, and if Congress temporarily slashed federal taxes — which account for more than 18 cents per gallon — gas prices could fall nearly 10 percent. That is, if other factors don’t keep pushing those prices higher. Congress doesn’t appear ready to do much of anything, and neither does the Republican majority in the County Legis-

lature. County Executive Bruce Blakeman even went so far as to blame America’s dependence on foreign oil as the key cause of the crisis, and to push for the reopening of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline. Yet only 20 percent of the oil consumed in America is imported, and most of that comes from Canada. Before Russia invaded Ukraine, its oil accounted for just 2 percent of the American supply. It’s not our dependence on Russian oil, but instead the dependence of other countries — especially European ones — that drives up price. America already exports more oil than it imports, according to the Energy Information Administration. So it’s really unclear how much of an impact opening more domestic sources would have. And when it comes to Keystone XL, it was designed to transport Canadian oil to the U.S. There could be some light at the end of the tunnel. After gasoline prices jumped to more than $3 per gallon in 2008, the average price plummeted to $1.84 the following year, according to the EIA. But credit the Great Recession for that. Another severe recession would be the worst way to solve this crisis. But if our elected leaders don’t come together and act soon, an economic crash is most assuredly in our future.

opinions

cross the USA, headlines cite skyrocketing energy costs and the strain they are putting on American families. Here on Long Island, homeowners and businesses are feeling pain in their wallets not felt for years. In 2019, when I was Hempstead town supervisor, I spearheaded an energy program that today would be collectively saving town residents millions of dollars on their energy bills. It would have been the first such program on LAUrA A. Long Island, and if it had moved GiLLen forward, participating residents’ and businesses’ utility bills town would now be 50 percent lower, according to published National Grid rates. Sure enough, the Town of Brookhaven just implemented the program, and I applaud Supervisor Ed Romaine and the town board for their leadership. But the Hempstead Town Board killed the program in 2019, without explanation and without reason in a move that demonstrated a callous disregard for town taxpayers. While I was supervisor, I learned

about a program called “Community Choice Aggregation,” which allows municipalities to enter the marketplace to collectively negotiate for better energy costs for their residents and businesses. The theory is that thousands of residents’ bargaining power exceeds that of any individual. The program is strictly regulated by the state Department of Public Service to ensure that residents are protected, and the program only moves forward if there are demonstrable savings. There is a regulated process: A municipality must first pass enabling legislation to allow it to seek vendors. After that, it does so by way of a bidding process. Once a vendor is chosen, a second resolution, awarding a contract, must be passed. Then the vendor negotiates on behalf of the municipality, obtaining the best rates and, with a third resolution, the municipality approves a contract for residents at those rates. There are strict notice requirements and opt-out options to protect residents. In August 2019, I offered the first resolution to begin the process. The Long Island Association, the LiiNCS, multiple civic associations and residents voiced their support for it and the Town Board passed it. The project went out to bid to, and after a bipartisan review process, a

ure enough, the Town of Brookhaven just implemented a program I proposed.

In Nassau, we’ll say no to ‘Don't Say Gay’ To the Editor: Recently, a so-called “Don't Say Gay” bill, which would ban teachers from talking about sexual orientation or gender identity in primary schools, was introduced in the Florida state legislature. The measure would also allow parents to sue school districts if they think a violation occurred. A lead sponsor of this measure filed an amendment in February to require schools to inform parents within six weeks of learning that a student identifies as LGBTQ+. The amendment allows for no exemption in cases where there is a reason to believe outing the student would result in abuse, neglect or abandonment.

vendor was selected. At a Town Board meeting that December, I put forward a resolution to award the contract so the selected vendor could begin negotiating with utility providers. But a motion was made to table the proposal. “I urge my colleagues to change their minds,” I pleaded, “because we have the opportunity right now to deliver some savings to our residents in this town. And this will only move forward if residents save money, and if we delay this, there is very little chance that any resident will be able to save money this season.” Nevertheless, every councilmember voted to table the item, and stopped Community Choice Aggregation from moving forward. Had the resolution passed that December, the vendor would have had a generous 90-day window to negotiate rates, a period that would have stretched from January or February to April or May 2020. That March, coronavirus shutdowns caused the price of energy to plummet. Energy was trading at such historic lows that town residents could have gotten rates on natural gas not seen in roughly a decade. National Grid records show that the average price for natural gas in March

FrAmework by Christina Daly

As a committed ally of the LGBTQ+ community, I am disgusted by every wrinkle of this abusive proposal, which is nothing short of an act of state-sanctioned cruelty directed at America's marginalized, vulnerable youth. I am horrified by the strong likelihood that it will pass and be signed into law. The Florida bill is part of a nationwide assault that has reached more than a dozen statehouses, and I am not so naïve to think that this fight could not arrive at our doorstep at some point in the future. That’s why I’m continuing the fight to enshrine county-level protections focused on gender identity in our human rights law and am preparing legislation to create an LGBTQ+ Advisory Board to investigate challenges the community faces here in Nassau County so that we can implement solutions. At a time when the LGBTQ+ community is under attack across America, I am committed to doing all I can to elevate Nassau County as a beacon of acceptance and affirmation. ARNOLD W. DRUCKER Plainview Nassau County Legislator, 16th District

2020 was 39.1 cents per therm, and in April, 34 cents. The town could have locked in a fixed rate in this range — and likely a bit lower — for years. The average price per therm last month was 72.4 cents — roughly double. Skyrocketing costs are painful to all, and crippling to those on fixed incomes. There was zero risk in moving forward with this program, only a potential upside — and residents would now be saving 50 percent on their National Grid bills. I urged incoming supervisor Don Clavin to take up the program after I departed Town Hall, but he and the board have taken no action to move it. My deputy visited other municipalities to urge them to explore Community Choice Aggregation in the hope that that might pressure Hempstead. Brookhaven is moving on the program, and other municipalities aren’t far behind. The sensible voices of those who actually serve residents need to prevail in Hempstead and across New York state. The alarming headlines about energy prices continue, and constituents would be wise to demand that those in office move this program forward when rates are favorable.
