The Hewlett High School robotics teams continue to add awards to their trophy case, and their coach is being recognized for their success.

Janine Torresson, who guides the school’s Robotics Club, finished third in the judging for the Compass Award at the Long Island First Tech Challenge Championships on March 12.

The award has special meaning for the student competitors. RoboBoogie, one of three teams in the Hewlett High club, nominated Torresson for the honor, which recognizes an adult coach/mentor who guides and supports a team. The students submitted a 60-second video a week before the competition at Bethpage High School, in which they made their case for Torresson.

ll that glitters was gold for Michael Gliner as the Inwood businessman was honored for his civic involvement as the Inwood Civic Association’s Citizen of the Year at a March 18 dinner at the Inwood Country Club.

Gliner was feted by a roomful of friends, family and associates who are vey well acquainted with his volunteer work that ranges from now serving as the civic association’s vice chairman. He was the president for six years and is now president of the Peninsula Kiwanis Club.

The Far Rockaway resident joined the Inwood civic

in 2005, the same year he bought the PIP Printing shop he owns on Doughty Boulevard in Inwood.

“Thank you so much to the Inwood Civic Association,” Gliner posted on the organization’s Facebook group page. “The board for all your hard work and everyone who attended the gala and those that contributed to our cause.

Just 4 percent of Boy Scouts earn the Eagle rank. For Matthew, the feeling is indescribable, but hopes he won’t be the reconstituted troop’s only one.

“It’s a great feeling,” he said. “I’m hoping there will be more to follow after

me.”

The Court of Honor will take place at St. John’s Trinity Church, at 1142 Broadway in Hewlett, at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday.

grader. Two years later, he joined Boy Scout Troop 109 in Valley Stream, because there was no longer a troop in the Five Towns.

In the fall of 2019, he got a call from Coreless, his cubmaster in Pack 20, about the relaunch of Troop 20, and Sharin joined up.

“It was a no-brainer,” Matthew’s father, David Sharin, said of the move.

“Eugene was great, and to be a part of the community again that he was linked to as a cub is great.”

To become an Eagle Scout, a scout must advance from the rank of Tenderfoot to 2nd Class, 1st Class, Star and Life. It takes a scout several years to achieve the highest ranking, Coreless said. A combination of merit badges, community service and leadership roles in the troop are required.

When Sharin began his journey as a Cub Scout, he learned practical skills such as tying knots and making campfires. Now, as a young adult, the emphasis is on leading younger scouts.

“It’s a responsibility,” said Sharin, who is also the valedictorian of Lawrence High School’s class of 2023. “I remember when I was younger, there were kids that were a big inspiration to me to become the person I am now. I hope to be a similar figure to the young kids.”

Spending in the Hewlett-Woodmere school district could increase by more than $4 million, the tax levy will remain the same, however residents’ tax bills could also go up should the proposed budget be approved.

Discussing the tentative fiscal plan, Marie Donnelly, the district’s assistant superintendent of finance and personnel, said the proposed 2023-2024 budget is $135.17 million, a $4.4 million increase from the current budget.

Responding to a request from the Board of Education not to increase the tax levy, Donnelly addressed that at the March 16 meeting. The tax levy is the amount of money a school district collects in taxes. The district’s tax levy limit for 2023-24 is 3.36 percent and will see no increase in levy from the 2022-23 budget as the figure would be the same if the budget were to be approved.

Hewlett-Woodmere’s estimated tax levy is $108,577,500.

“Based on our conversation last week,” Donnelly said, “a couple of board members wanted a zero percent tax levy increase. I increased our reserve usage to bring our property tax levy down to the $108.5 million that we were at last year. There is no change.”

Although the proposed budget sees no change in the tax levy, Donnelly pointed out the possibility homeowners could still see a change in tax statements.

“I caution you that although there is no change in the tax levy,” Donnelly said, “that doesn’t mean there will be no change in people’s tax bills.”

Donnelly emphasized that when she submits information to Nassau County on how much money is needed to run the district, The rest of the tax calculations are out of the district’s control.

“We were faced with some challenges,” Donnelly said in an email, “this year in preparing the expenditure bud-

get.”

In Gov. Kathy Hochul’s record-breaking $227 billion budget proposal , $34.5 billion was proposed for schools across the state. If approved by both houses of the State Legislature, Hewlett-Woodmere would receive $19.8 million in state aid, an increase from $15.6 million for the current school year.

Donnelly said the projected increase in aid from the state played a factor in being able to not increase the tax levy.

The exact state aid amount is finalized when the state approves the budget. The deadline is April 1.

“A lot of it is projections,” she said, “a lot of the aid that are in the state aid package are expense based aids such as BOCES and transportation.”

Districtwide improvements are also part of the proposed budget.

“We have allocated funds for facilities improvements to maintain our buildings and grounds,” Donnelly stated in an email, “improvements include lighting/ CCTV additions and upgrades, perimeter fencing replacements, window upgrades and replacements, plumbing upgrades, restroom restoration and repair, security and technology upgrades.”

District voters are also being asked to approve $17.2 million in renovations at Hewlett High School and Woodmere Middle School.

The proposed project would upgrade the middle and high school’s science rooms, redesign the high school auditorium and replace the artificial turf field at the high school.

Another form of state aid called building aid will also help pay for the renovations. Based on current calculations, the district should receive $8.9 million.

A public budget forum took place on March 21 at the Woodmere Education Center, 1 Johnson Place, Woodmere. Voting for the budget, trustees and propositions is on May 16 from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., also at the education center.

Herald sports Hofstra looks to conquer CAA rivals

By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Hofstra University’s men’s lacrosse team learned the hard way a year ago to not leave its postseason fate in the hands of someone else.

After defeating Towson 15-14 on a late goal in the regular season finale, the Pride watched on the bus ride back to Long Island the Delaware-Fairfield game needing a Blue Hens defeat to earn the final spot in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament. Delaware ended all hope with a 14-12 win that denied Hofstra a chance to compete for the CAA’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament.

“Two years ago we made the CAA tourney on a tie breaking scenario and last year we lost out on a tie breaking criteria, “said longtime Hofstra head coach Seth Tierney, who in 2021 experienced the opposite feeling when Hofstra qualified for the four-team CAA tourney from a Towson 12-11 loss to Drexel in the final weekend of the season. “There is no getting around it that these conference games have more weight to them.”

Hofstra, which was picked to finish fifth in the eight-team CAA, dropped its

league opener 12-11 to Fairfield on Saturday making its remaining seven league games that much more important.

The Pride have been led offensively so far this season by sophomore attackman John Madsen, a Locust Valley High School product, with 16 goals through the first six games. The Pride boast many potential scoring weapons including Rory Jones, Gerard Kane, Griffin Turner, Colton Rudd and Justin Sykes, The defense brought back experience in senior goalie Mac Gates and long-stick defensive midfielder Corey Kale, who were named to the preseason All-CAA Honorable Mention Team along with Jones. The close-defense features veterans Tom Ford, Tim Hegarty and Danny Ochs. Redshirt freshman defenseman Ryan Kiernan, a Rockville Centre native and Chaminade graduate, is also making strides.

“Ryan Kiernan is a hard worker and his family did a wonderful job bringing him up ,” Tierney said. “His days are certainly bright in the very near future.”

Hofstra will next take the field on Saturday at league newcomer Monmouth before battling Towson in the CAA home opener on April 8 at 3 p.m. The regular season concludes on April 29 under the lights at Shuart Stadium against Long Island rival Stony Brook in the teams’ first meeting since the Seawolves joined the CAA.

Pride loses top scorer to injury

JuNiOR KERRy WALsER scored 22 goals last season and will be asked to produce at a high level given the absence of Nikki Mennella.

Hofstra’s women’s lacrosse team was hit with some early adversity when top scorer Nikki Mennella suddenly was lost for the year with a knee injury.

The freshman from Smithtown had already struck for 23 goals in six games before getting hurt in the fourth quarter of a 14-11 loss at Army on March 4. Hofstra showed resilience after losing Mennella with a 15-2 romp over Wagner three days later followed by a near upset of 20thranked USC in a 9-8 defeat on March 12.

“All year we have been building a great dynamic and belief system and the team has really bought into it,” Smith said. “We have learned to stay positive.”

With the absence of Mennella, junior Kerry Walser is taking on more of a leadership role on offense. She tallied three

Senior Taylor Mennella, the older sister of Nikki, has the most points on the team with 26. The Pride’s boast a number of other scoring threats including senior Katie Kelly, graduate student Rachel Graff, who graduated Columbia last year and Lauren Colletti.

On defense, Hofstra has forced 5 turnovers led by Trinity Reed, Brynn Hepting, Kendall Smith and Kayla Robertson along with graduate student midfielder Kayla Gatti. Freshman goalie Luchianna Cardello has emerged as the starting net-minder after leading Massapequa High School to

back-to-back Nassau County Class A titles.

Hofstra (4-5) opened with a 14-6 win against Long Island University and 11-8 at then 25th-ranked Vanderbilt before dropping four straight. The Pride opened CAA play with a 13-12 loss at William & Mary with a late comeback falling just short and will host Towson in their conference home opener this Saturday at noon.

The CAA schedule closes on April 28 at league newcomer and national power Stony Brook.

“It’s a new season,” said Smith of the CAA schedule, where the top four teams make the conference playoffs. “We have to treat every game like it’s our last.”

MoRE tHAN 100 Rambam Mesivta High School students along with their teachers gathered to protest in front of the Lithuanian Consulate in New York City on March 15.

kdaniel@liherald.com

Rambam Mesivta High School continued its history of protesting as students and teachers gathered outside the Lithuanian Consulate, in New York City on March 15 to protest what they believe is Lithuania’s honoring of a murderer.

Four years ago, Rambam officials learned that Lithuania was honoring Jonas Noreika, a Lithuanian general who collaborated with the Nazis and signed orders to have thousands of Lithuanian Jews executed. Lithuania disagrees about the role of Noreika in the Holocaust and says he was a righteous gentile.

When World War II began there were 220,000 Lithuanian Jews, 95 percent of them had died when the war ended.

The school discovered that Noreika’s daughter Dalia Kuceniene was writing a book about him. After she became ill, Noreika’s granddaughter, Silvia Foti was asked to complete the book. Foti went to Lithuania, where Noreika is remembered with plaques and schools and streets named after him. Foti learned that her grandfather had ordered Jews in his region of Lithuania to be murdered and published the book “The Nazi’s Granddaughter: How I Learned My Grandfather Was a War Criminal.”

Despite the facts, the Lithuanian government and its courts do not recognize what was done by Noreika. Grant Gochin, a Lithuanian Jewish American, whose family members were killed sued the Lithuanian government. It was dismissed.

Rabbi Zev Meir Friedman, dean of Rambam Mesivta, stated that after meeting with Lithuania representatives at the consulate during the protests, that they were unable to come to a mutual agreement.

“The consulate said he didn’t kill anybody,” said Rabbi Zev Meir Friedman, Rambam’s dean. “We said he signed death warrants, and his own granddaughter said he killed people. They are denying that denying history. We can’t bring back the people that died, but at the very least, Lithuania should not honor a guy that killed Lithuanians.”

The rally was the first for the school in four years and aimed to publicize its issue with Lithuania. Activism has been part of Rambam’s educational program for years. The Lawrence-based school took part in protests outside the Queens home of noted Nazi war criminal, Jakiw Palij. As head of a police force he was responsible for killing 60,000 Jewish people in the Panerai woods.

The protests led to a meeting between Friedman and the Polish consul general. Palij was deported to Germany in 2018.

“As part of an educational program, it’s great to teach theory and facts but is extremely important to teach students about what they should do,” Friedman said.

Foti’s book had been discussed by Rambam students since last school year.

School officials decided to protest this school year on the week of Lithuania’s Independence Day. “It was a very enlightening experience,” said Rambam student Michael Gordon, 16. “It’s an important right to protest and stand up for our beliefs so it was nice to exercise that right. We need to inform people about this and hopefully spark change.”

“Obviously, we hope that this one will turn out to be enough, but it would not be surprising if we needed another rally,” Gordon added. “They’re honoring a Nazi. We’re not going to forget, and we’ll be back if we need to.”

Jewish War Veterans celebrate 127 years Nation’s longest-running veterans organization wants more members

By DANIEL OFFNER doffner@liherald.com

I

t’s been 127 years since a small group of Jewish Civil War veterans got together to discuss antisemitism and the lack of Jewish servicemen in the military.

That was 1896. Today, the Jewish War Veterans of the United States of America is still going as the longest-running veterans organization in the country.

And it brought together members of Jewish War Veterans Post 652 — which includes members from all across Nassau County — to get back to basics and talk about hate.

“Their singular purpose was to show the world that, despite words of the contrary, Jews have always been part of the fabric of the United States of America since its inception,” said Gary Glick, commander of the Jewish War Veterans Department of New York.

“We were hopeful following World War II and the defeat of Nazi Germany would be the end of antisemitism and hate for some time. But it continues to raise its ugly head quite often, and we are presently witnessing another period of this vital phenomenon, even in our own country.”

Members gathered at Central Synagogue–Beth Emeth in Rockville Centre last week to not only celebrate, but also to reflect. Hatred appears to be at its highest levels since World War II — something even Nelson Mellitz, the national commander of the Jewish War Veterans, told a joint session of Congress earlier this month, explaining that the level of discrimination is the worst it has ever been in his lifetime.

“We will defend the rights of everybody in the United States, and we will continue to do so,” Mellitz said. “As antisemitism continues to grow in the United States, the JWV asks you, congress members, to specifically help defend our country’s freedoms, and go forward and fight antisemitism and all forms of hate and bigotry, wherever it exists.”

Even today, however, Jews make up a small fraction of the military. A 2009 survey from the Military Leadership Diversity Commission revealed just 1 percent of soldiers identified as Jewish, compared to 2 percent in the general population.

During World War I, the Jewish War Veterans established the Jewish chaplaincy in the military, and fought to include the Star of David on the graves of Jewish soldiers.

Prior to the start of World War II, the group also helped lead a protest march and boycott of Nazi Germany and its goods, and would campaign for the 1938 Foreign Agents Registration Act, which led to several Nazi leaders in America being deported.

The organization continued its efforts long after the wars were over, too. It campaigned to include religious and racial protections in the GI Bill, stood against the Ku Klux Klan and the John Birch Society during the Cold War era, and even established a National Museum of Jewish Military History.

At the local level, it advocates for fellow veterans and help get them benefits they often were unaware they were eligible for. Following the coronavirus pandemic, several veterans had become more isolated, during which time Glick and others worked to connect with them and help get them the care they needed.

Yet, despite the organization’s stoic history, the Nassau County chapter has seen a steady drop in membership in more recent years. It’s primarily from a failed attempts to publicize the group’s existence, Glick says, fearing this could spell the end of the Jewish War Veterans unless someone takes action.

“Complacency will get absolutely nothing accomplished,” Glick said. “If you want to be the last of the

JOE ScAROLA, cOmmANDER of the Nassau County American Legion and a member of Legion Post 303 in Rockville Centre, was welcomed to celebrate the organization’s 127th anniversary along with longstanding members of the Jewish War Veterans.

ERIc SpINNER, cOmmANDER of Jewish War Veterans Post 652, discusses the importance of 127 years for the national organization as well as the recent anniversary of Iwo Jima, one of the turning points of World War II’s Pacific conflict.

GARy GLIck, cOmmANDER of the Department of New York Jewish War Veterans, delivers his message about the organization’s 127-year history combating hate regarding Jews in the military. He also spoke about the uncertainty of the group’s future in the face of rising antisemitism.

Why Beth Emeth?

The Jewish War Veterans celebrated its 127th anniversary at Central Synagogue-Beth Emeth in Rockville Centre last week — the very same temple where Rabbi Roland Gittelsohn served for 25 years.

Gittelsohn, who served during World War II, was tasked by his supervising chaplain with providing the eulogy as soldiers buried the dead following the Battle of Iwo Jima in 1945, where nearly 7,000 Americans were killed, and another 20,000 wounded.

JWV, sit back and enjoy your bagels and lox and we will drift into sunset unnoticed. We need to work together to be successful, and I’m hopeful to see some positive movement in this direction.”

Eric Spinner, commander of Jewish War Veterans Post 652 in Bellmore — and member of American Legion Post 1033 in Elmont — said that as many veterans get older, the number of people joining the post have gotten smaller. Currently, the Nassau organization boasts nearly 120 members, which has steadily declined over recent years.

“I didn’t know about it until two years ago,” Spinner said. “That’s when I joined.”

Spinner hopes by informing more people about the Jewish War Veterans and what it does to help provide services and recover medals for all veterans, that more people will be inclined to join their group.

“We welcome new Jewish veterans to our ranks,” Spinner said, “and we welcome patrons, too, who are not veterans, but who support our goals and aims.”

The post also welcomes anyone from the community willing to donate to help fund its cause.

Nassau proclaims ‘Big Daddy’ Salgado Day

By ANA BORRUTO aborruto@liherald.com

Rich Salgado is known to be one of the “most trusted men among professional athletes,” and an agent to the stars.

As the chief executive of Coastal Advisors, Salgado is an insurance adviser to more than 500 of the most prominent names in the world of sports, business, media and the entertainment industry.

Clients include former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, Fox Sports analyst Reggie Bush, former NBA point guardJeremy Lin, ESPN senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter, and actress Melissa Joan Hart.

It’s three decades worth of accomplishments and advocacy for the man known as “Big Daddy” — enough for Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to officially proclaimed March 7 as Rich “Big Daddy” Salgado Day. Blakeman honored Salgado in Mineola, joined by Strahan, actor Hisham Tawfiq from NBC’s “The Blacklist,” and Schefter.

“It’s always an honor for me to recognize somebody who has contributed so much to Nassau County, Long Island, and quite frankly, the whole region — and perhaps we can say the whole country,” Blakeman said. “He’s always been a very outgoing, friendly, nice person to everybody he meets — whether they’re in a high station in life, or whether they’re somebody that’s struggling to do a little better for themselves and their family.”

Tim Baker/Herald

Rich SAlgAdO ReceiveS an official proclamation from Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman to make March 7 Rich ‘Big Daddy’ Salgado Day. His friends Anzhelika SteenOlsen and Michael Strahan praised Salgado for his many accomplishments as an insurance adviser.

Salgado attended New Hyde Park Memorial High School and went on to study at the University of Maryland, where he played college football as a defensive lineman. After graduating, he decided to make a shift from playing football to advising, launching Coastal Advisors in 1996.

Salgado’s role is to set up life insurance

policies, help with estate planning, and create other forms of financial protection in the face of adversity.

In addition to running his own insurance company, Salgado is also the chief commercial officer for Gas It Up — a minority-owned mobile fueling company with locations in Texas and on the east coast.

Those attending the recent ceremony talked about Salgado’s generous nature, evident in philanthropic efforts like the Big Daddy Celebrity Golf Classic, an annual charity event Salgado started in 2010.

For this year’s golf charity event, Salgado partnered with the Sher organization — a women-founded group supporting gender equality and equity. Salgado also founded Big Daddy Youth Football Camp, which focuses on private mentoring and speaking engagements for elementary- and middle school-aged campers.

He’s also been known to fly pizzas in for the Super Bowl, said his friend, Anzhelika Steen-Olsen.

“I have come to know him as a man of kindness and benevolence,” said SteenOlsen, founder of the Sher organization.

“A trustworthy friend to many. A funny man who still wears his heart on his sleeve.”

Strahan — who now co-hosts “Good Morning America” on ABC — said he and Salgado became “fast friends” when they first met 28 years ago. At the time, the Texas native had only been living in New York for a couple years, playing for the New York Giants.

Salgado was someone Strahan knew always had his back.

“He is the most gentle, big man I know,” he said. “If I needed to call anybody to do anything at any time, or someone who literally goes out of their way to do things that I’m not even expecting — it’s Rich.”

She also serves on the endowment fund board, and is a key organizer of Arts Below Sunrise, a oneday community street festival across a closed section of Broadway between the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Library in Hewlett and Irving Plaza in Woodmere, which this year will be held on April 30.

Star had Torresson as a teacher in third grade, and their connection sparked Star’s interest in building and program-

ming specialized machines. “When I joined high school, I knew I was going to do robotics, because Ms. Torresson was there and that was why I joined,” Star said. “She was someone I always stayed in contact with.”

John Roblin, first vice president of the Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association, noted Torresson’s commitment to the club, and her students. “My son Nate was on the Robotics club for all four years in high school until he graduated in 2017,” Roblin wrote in an email. “After his sophomore year, the robotics coach stepped down and there was a possibility that would be the end of robotics. Ms. Torresson stepped in to keep the teams going. She gives a huge amount of her time and dedication to robotics.”

At the March 12 competition, RoboBoogie captured the tournament’s top honor, the Inspire Award, presented to the group that best shares its experience, enthusiasm and knowledge with other teams, the community and judges. RoboBoogie advanced to the First Tech World Championships next month in Houston for the second consecutive year.

Rifkind, assistant chair man of the Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools Endowment Fund, wrote in an email, “and it’s way above and beyond what most folks would do, and the recognition is more than well earned.” The endowment fund is composed of graduates, families and local merchants who raise money to support district programs.

Star, a RoboBoogie team member, noted that this was the first time the club had ever submitted a nomination for the award.

“At these competitions, there are a lot of awards, such as best design or best connection to the community,” junior Alex Tourneux, another RoboBoogie member, explained.

ery few children know what they want to be when they grow up. But from a young age, Susan Poser knew she wanted a career in law.

She was inspired by her father, Norman Stanley Poser, a former professor at Brooklyn Law School, and a former executive vice president of the American Stock Exchange.

“I was very good at arguing,” Poser told the Hofstra University campus newspaper. “I could argue my mother into a corner.”

The 59-year-old grew up in Manhattan and held onto her dream while majoring in ancient Greek and political science at Swarthmore College just outside of Philadelphia, where she graduated with honors in 1985. After that, Poser found herself teaching English at Anatolia College in Greece.

By 1987, Poser was finally ready to begin her career in law, moving to Lincoln, Nebraska, with husband Stephen DiMagno and their infant child. But it wasn’t the start to her career she expected. ‘‘A little part of me thought that this was actually his idea of a bad joke,” Poser said of her husband in the Hofstra Chronicle. “And it was going to surprise me when the plane landed in Cancún.”

But no, it really was Nebraska. DiMagno had picked up his first job as an assistant chemistry professor at the University of Nebraska while Poser had hoped to finish her juris doctorate from what is now Berkeley Law School at the University of California.

“This was a New Yorker moving out to Nebraska with an unwritten dissertation and a 3-week-old baby and no real job,” Poser said.

“Only love would have made anyone do that kind of thing.”

But it all came together, and Poser began working at

HistoRy MontH

SuSAN POSeR wAItS with Hofstra University mascots Kate and Willie Pride before they welcomed new students to campus on move-in day in 2021. the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1994, as a visiting assistant professor of law. She was appointed by the Nebraska State Bar Association in 2003 to review policies in the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, before becoming a full professor of law in 2008. Two years later, she was the dean of the University of Nebraska College of Law. Poser wasn’t expecting to find herself moving up into the school’s administration, but that changed one day in 2006 when she opened a university-wide email by chance.

It was the chancellor, Harvey Perlman, looking for a new associate to the chancellor.

This became the perfect opportunity to hone in on her

problem-solving skills. Like the potential environmental hazard to birds caused by the release of thousands of helium-filled balloons in the school’s stadium when the first Nebraska points were scored in a football game.

It was exactly the kind of role Poser never dreamed of, but discovered was perfect for her: leadership, problemsolving, and institution building.

The family moved to Chicago in 2016 where Poser was appointed provost and vice chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Illinois-Chicago. At Illinois, Poser led the acquisition of Chicago’s John Marshall Law School, creating the first and only public attorney school in Chicago. She also played a key role in creating two new cultural centers on campus — one focused on Arab American students, and another on students with disabilities.

Poser is always looking for growth and ways to expand her skills, but she knew she had to keep one thing in mind when expanding her career.

“It’s very important to make sure the work that you’re doing is work that you really want to do, and that you’re not going after jobs for status,” she said Poser became the ninth president of Hofstra University in 2021 — and its first woman president in its 88-year history.

She never aspired to be a university president, but got to this point by doing what she loves: problem solving.

“You should always be doing the job that you want, and not the job that you have,” Poser said. “You should always try to do a little bit extra, and offer to do work that is not necessarily assigned to you.”

All we wanted was to build some walls HERALD

A. I often have con-

Ask The Architect

versations with people who say they read my column and could answer most of the questions themselves, because it seems so obvious what the answer would be. Your question made me wonder if you didn’t already have a clue about what you might have done wrong.

I’m amazed at how often people tell me that their onte eeper builder told them they didn’t require a permit, and not to worry, or that the builder got the permit already and will start immediately — with upfront partial or full payment, of course.

Walls are just like any other built structure, and require not only permits, which readers who speak to me seem most focused on. The main reason for permission is safety, but secondarily, every property owner in a densely populated area is part of the bigger picture — bigger than their postage stampsized property — when viewed on a satellite image.

You have to fit into the community.

This isn’t just about you. Walls define property, that is true, but they also create barriers to emergency responders who would need to access your yard in a raging fire scenario, for you or a neighbor.

There are rules about how close a fence or other versions of a fence can be to a traffic corner, and how high they can be. Walls need to be constructed not to fail, just like other structures, and even a fence needs a foundation to keep it anchored from falling over or sinking under its own weight. Many communities have regulations that include an “architectural review,” meaning that they want to know the color, material and height of the fence, and even whether your lighting will shine onto other neighbors’ properties who may not share your de-light.

Because most building departments have little or no authority to penalize the builders who can lie about getting permits, which allows them to break the law without penalty, you, the homeowner, are stuck with the responsibility. Why this system is perpetual is beyond me, because there’s a neverending flow of anguished owners who can’t understand why they aren’t protected and not made aware until it’s too late, but that’s the way the illegal construction business works, for the present.

Good luck!

Q. We seem to have run into a problem. Our landscaper does brick paving and walls, and we spoke to him last summer about putting in walls around our yard, front and back. It gives us a sense of privacy, and makes our yard more defined. Unfortunately, the walls in the backyard went up last fall, and the ones in the front yard were just beginning when we got a notice on our front door that we’re in violation of some ordinance we don’t understand. Aren’t we allowed to put in walls? They are 4 feet high and will have lights at the driveway entrance that will look very nice and make our driveway safer, we think.

What can you tell us?

opINIoNS

y friend Judy Heumann died March 4 in Washington, D.C., where she lived. Her name might not mean too much to many of you. But to thousands, and I do meant thousands, of people who struggle every day with physical disabilities, her name is gold.

I met Judy when we were students at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center. I worked on the college newspaper, Seawanhaka, and she was a ferocious member of the student council.

This is Judy’s JAMES story. I never wrote her, but it’s BERNStEIN about time I did.

She was 18 months old when she was diagnosed with polio. She spent her entire life in a wheelchair. At LIU Brooklyn, she wheeled faster than most of us walked. She rolled into the college newspaper office filled with arguments, always ready for a duel, whether with the paper, the faculty or the administration.

The fights, although fierce, always ended with a smile and a laugh.

When she graduated in the early 1970s with a B.A. in speech and theater, she

D

wanted to teach in a public school. The New York City Board of Education turned her down because she was in a wheelchair.

Never willing to give in, she sued the city.

The New York Times wrote a front-page story about her case, and the Times’s editorial board backed her.

Then Mayor John Lindsay voiced his support.

She won her case, and never stopped winning.

I remember long latenight chats with her in those days, with me worrying that she would lose the case, and she expressing only confidence. She became the first New York City schoolteacher in a wheelchair.

In the late 1970s, she moved to California, there to take on the federal government on behalf of disabled people. Joseph A. Califano Jr., the U.S. Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare under President Jimmy Carter, had been slow to implement President Richard Nixon’s Rehabilitation Act, which outlawed discrimination by any institution receiving federal money.

Judy wanted to light a fire under Califano, and organized a mass demonstration, occupying the San Francisco office of HEW for almost a month in what has been described as the longest non-violent

I

demonstration of a U.S. building in American history.

I urged Judy to be careful, but that word was never in her vocabulary.

San Francisco’s mayor at the time, George Moscone, sent over mattresses.

The Black Panthers delivered ribs and fried chicken.

Judy won. Califano got moving on legislation to benefit the disabled.

Later she wound up in Washington, working for the Senate Committee on Labor and Public Welfare (now the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions). In 1993, she became assistant secretary of the office of special education and rehabilitation services under President Bill Clinton, a post she held until 2001.

These were busy and heady times for Judy, and she would whisk into New York, call from the airport and promise to meet “the next time” she was in. At least, I thought, we never lost touch.

Her whirlwind life never stopped. In 1970 she had formed an organization called Disabled in Action, which is now international in scope. She traveled the world, advocating for the rights of the disabled.

She became good friends with Hillary

knew her at LIU Brooklyn.

Many more got to know her in the halls of Washington.

Clinton, and accompanied the first lady on her trip to China in 1995.

After working in the Clinton administration, she was an adviser, fellow, or board member with such organizations like the World Bank, the Ford Foundation and Human Rights Watch. She somehow found time to meet and fall in love with Jorge Pineda, who was also in a wheelchair.

As a youngster, Judy had been a film star. She was a camper and a counselor at Camp Jened, a camp for disabled children, in the Catskills. The place became the subject of a movie, “Camp Crip,” which starred Judy. In a newspaper interview, she described the camp as a “playground,” but also said it had a bigger meaning.

“It was a liberating time,” she said.

“We could be ourselves, and it absolutely helped formulate futures.”

I would not see much of Judy during those hectic years of hers in California and Washington, but she was really never far from my mind. I remembered those long-ago late-night talks, when she was so full of optimism. How, I wondered, how could she be?

But now I know. Whenever I think I can’t do something — anything — I think of Judy.

James Bernstein is editor of the Long Beach Herald. Comments? jbernstein@ liherald.com.

Feeling lost? Books are our GPS in the world.

o you think we haven’t seen the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene before? The story of shamelessly ambitious, undereducated bigots scrambling for traction in government is old. Read “All the King’s Men,” by Robert Penn Warren.

Do you think Trump is an unprecedented phenom? See above. See Mussolini. See Pinochet. Except that Trump got lucky, got elected to the highest office in the United States and proceeded to disgrace the presidency during his time in the White House. It has been our RANDI national nightKREISS mare, but all this has happened before, and in other countries.

Are you agonizing over the rise in racism and the purposeful undermining of truth? Do you despair when you read about book bans, bolder antisemitism and anti-gay, anti-trans and anti-choice initiatives? There’s plenty out there to ring our alarm bells.

However, jingoistic groups have risen to power before. The names and dates change, and the boundaries of civility

stretch in different directions, but human nature seems immutable, for better and worse.

Extremist movements have always found fertile ground in America. We are a violent country, forged in revolution, pushing our way west over the land and the bodies of native peoples. We even fought against one another in a war that killed well over 600,000 Northerners and Southerners.

I see two paths to comfort and sanity during this uncertain time. One is having faith that the pendulum will swing back to a middle ground again in America.

History tells us that life plays out on a never-ending loop. Nothing is new under the sun, the Bible says.

I think of this when I hear that our political and social and cultural division is “unprecedented.” I think of this when I read that we’ve taken a hard turn and are headed over a cliff, with no way back. My hope is that political chaos will resolve in time if we continue to push back against undemocratic policies.

The other balm is reading, digging into fiction and nonfiction, finding the humanity that binds us all together, even as we disagree and wrestle over national values

N

and policy. We self-educate as we read; we learn tolerance for other ways of life.

Book bans will not stand over time. In the age of information, it is impossible to control what Americans read, unless we tip into a dystopia like North Korea, an unlikely evolution.

Yesterday I read David Remnick’s interview with Masha Gessen in The New Yorker, and educated myself about life for people who are trans or gay or both or don’t fit into a category. I recommend it.

Recently I read “The Glass Hotel,” by Emily St. John Mandel, a fictionalized account of the Madoff Ponzi scheme. Living in our time and reading about fakery and chutzpah and hollowedout lives is somehow reassuring. We realize that, again, there are no new themes or behaviors, just new names and places.

Have you heard of “All My Puny Sorrows,” by Miriam Toews? Talk about writers as alchemists: She weaves a family story around a centerpiece of sisters, one who desperately wants to die, the other desperately trying to save her from suicide. The characters pull us into a dark story that is oddly humorous and fully human, an affirmation of life in difficult times.

orth Korea can control what its citizens read, but book bans will never work here.

Since our fiction writers are storytellers and soothsayers, they help inform the future. We cannot compromise on full access to literature. That means voting for officials, from the local school board to the presidency, who support freedom and resist censorship.

I reread “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie” and discovered an entirely different book. Through the prism of our times, Miss Brodie is revealed not as a fun-loving nonconformist but as an emotionally abusive woman, seduced by nationalism and fascism. She apparently lives on in our Congress.

My nonfiction read this month is “We don’t Know Ourselves,” by Fintan O’Toole.

Learning about the religious and political flames that nearly consumed Ireland is a cautionary tale. After a while the fighting took on a life of its own; people forgot why they planted bombs in the first place. (See “The Banshees of Inisherin.”)

In “The Naked Don’t Fear the Water,”

by Matthieu Aikins, the author tells the story of going back to Afghanistan to find and escort to safety the helper who worked with him during the war, a great story that reminds us of our best selves.

Read these books to know that we have been here before. Catch a glimpse of the road ahead.

Tell Albany it’s time to support local journalism

i

t all seems simple enough. Folded paper covered with words, photographs, advertising and color.

Every week, you open your edition of the Herald, ready to catch up on everything you need to know in your community. Whether it’s some exciting new project taken on by your local lawmakers, or how our great schools are funded, or even some of the personal stories that touch your heart, you can’t imagine a world without your local newspaper.

And you don’t want to imagine a world without your local newspaper.

But local news is at risk. The number of newsrooms across the country has been cut in half since 2004, and more than 2,000 newspapers have closed — including nearly half of the weekly papers in New York state.

That has led to the rise of “news deserts” — areas in which there is little to no local newspaper coverage. These are communities just like this one, where everything from civic engagement, to public health and safety, to the survival of local businesses and community organizations is under significant threat.

These deserts are also where extreme partisanship and mistrust have grown considerably. A 2020 study by the Pew Research Center found that Americans who get most of their news on social media are less likely to get the facts about the coronavirus and politics, and more likely to hear unproven claims.

News deserts also lead to higher taxes, since bond rating agencies realize that, without a newspaper “watchdog,” a community is more likely to experience fraud, waste and abuse.

Trust in news is revitalized by ensuring that there are professional journalists everywhere. Especially in our own communities. When residents like you see reporters covering education board meetings, asking questions of local elected officials and interviewing community mem-

But if newspapers are so essential, why are they struggling? Traditionally, advertising accounts for a vast majority of the revenue needed to produce a newspaper each week — most of it in print. Yet that advertising stream fell 71 percent between 2000 and 2012 as businesses migrated to a digital ecosystem controlled by Google through its monopolistic dominance of online ad sales.

Google attracts viewers to its own website by displaying headlines and sections of news articles produced by news organizations like the Herald, but those viewers don’t tend to click through to the news organizations’ own websites. As a result, Google earns the ad revenue attracted by the publication of news, without covering any of the costs associated with paying

letters The president doesn’t get a ‘break,’ Jerry To the Editor: I have always thought of Jerry Kremer as an intelligent and honest politician, but his column “It’s time to give Joe Biden a break” (March 2-8) was clearly misguided. I’m an independent with no party affiliation. I consider myself a moderate, and I voted for Biden, but I don’t feel that

anyone elected to the highest office in this country, arguably the most important position in the world, should ever be given a break. He (or she) has a duty to carry out the responsibilities of the position without excuses for any of their actions.

Mr. Kremer has made a gallant effort to point out what he considers Biden’s accomplishments, and even if I felt that his praise was warranted, it is far outweighed

by Biden’s overall incompetence.

the professional journalists who gather and report that news.

As well, the price of paper and delivery has risen dramatically, exacerbated by already high inflation — as much as 100 percent.

What can you do to help? You’re already doing it by subscribing to and reading the Herald. You very likely frequent the businesses that advertise in these pages — and maybe even advertise yourself.

But there is more you can do: Contact your Assembly member or state senator and tell them to say “yes” to A.2958-A/S.625-A — New York’s Local Journalism Sustainability Act. Time is of the essence, as lawmakers in Albany will finalize the state budget in the next week or two.

These bills offer a payroll tax credit — a bridge for transitioning to a new business model — to newspapers based on the number of employed journalists, ensuring that you will continue to receive unbiased coverage of village board meetings, high school soccer games and more.

Even more, this tax credit doesn’t just help newspapers like the Herald. It also would be offered to public radio stations, as well as to local online and not-for-profit news organizations. And remember, newspapers can be distributed in many ways, from print to online.

In the end, the legislation would save more than 350 newsrooms across New York state some $150 million per year over the next five years, a relatively small piece of the state’s more than $200 billion budget. But for newsrooms like this one, it could be the difference between survival and collapse into another news desert.

Your neighborhood deserves to be covered by experienced journalists working at a local newspaper — in fact, it’s vital. We all want to live and work in safe, cost-effective, well-run communities. But without local newspapers, that just won’t happen.

opinions

any of us in Nassau County, myself included, are disgusted by the lies that Republican congressman George Santos has been spewing on a near-daily basis.

Like many others, I would like to see Santos resign.

But this isn’t about Santos. We need to begin a conspicuously absent conversation about the Democratic incompetence that led to Santos being a factor in the first place.

It’s an important discussion for Democrats to have, not least matthew because the next Santos adarichev George may not be such a liar. The goal of Democrats should be to decisively defeat Republicans because of better ideas, not to pin hopes on sporadic scandals in order to notch victories.

The narrow focus on Santos as an unprecedented liar blurs that goal. For me, Santos’ lies just made him worse; it was his policies, which would increase inflation and put doctors in jail for giving abortions, that made him a deal-breaker.

Santos shouldn’t be in office, not because

he lies a lot (though that’s part of it), but simply because he’s a cruel politician.

So how did Democratic incompetence lead us to Santos? Well, in January 2022, Robert Zimmerman announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination in the 3rd Congressional District. Zimmerman wasn’t well known, but he has been a member of the Democratic National Committee for over two decades.

Zimmerman hadn’t run a campaign since Ronald Reagan was in office, and he had lost all three of his previous elections. To call him vulnerable was an understatement. But the New York State Democratic Committee nevertheless coaxed some serious endorsements to get “their man” into office — including one from Hillary Clinton — and it worked.

Zimmerman became the Democratic nominee with just 36 percent of the vote in the party’s primary.

Predictably, Zimmerman went on to lose to Santos by 7.5 percentage points. He received 40 percent fewer votes than Tom Suozzi did in defeating Santos in 2020.

Most important, Zimmerman failed to expose Santos’ fraud before the election.

Zimmerman claims his campaign “didn’t have the time or money” to “dig

w

e can’t expect competency from the state Democratic committee.

Letters He is a 50-plus-year career politician, and his lies are well documented. I believe that a large number of votes cast in 2020 were against Trump rather than for Biden.

He portrayed himself as a moderate who can negotiate with both sides of the aisle. Since he was elected, it is apparent that he is a left-leaning socialist with a “woke” agenda and has surrounded himself with a like-minded staff. Mr. Kremer mentioned Biden’s visit to Ukraine, but failed to point out that he neglected to find time for the people of East Palestine, Ohio, who could use a show of his support. A visit

by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was too little, too late.

Mr. Kremer touched on the border crisis, but that deserves much more criticism. It is an utterly chaotic situation that continues to plague our nation. Our standing in the world community has diminished as a result of o u r d i s a s t ro u s w i t h d r aw a l f ro m Afghanistan, a total embarrassment to those who have always looked to the U.S. as the defender of freedom. I could go on about inflation, the national debt and spiraling crime, but what’s the point? This isn’t the time to give the leader of the free world a break.

deeper” into his opponent’s background.

With 10 and a half weeks until the election and over $3 million in campaign cash? I’m not buying it, especially since it turns out that a Democratic group had already given Zimmerman 87 pages of Santos’ red flags before the election.

Then again, I err in expecting competency from the New York Democratic Committee. Party chairman Jay Jacobs and his crew oversaw the Democratic bloodbath in Nassau County in 2021 (a county that has 30 percent more registered Democrats than Republicans) and didn’t invest a single dollar in two voting rights propositions that were voted down that year.

Last year, the Democrats came much closer to losing the governorship to a Republican than they anticipated in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2 to 1, and lost 20 percent of the entire Democratic House delegation. The New York Democratic Committee almost single-handedly cost the party the House of Representatives.

Democrats performed worse in every single county in New York state than they did in 2020. And yet the state committee re-elected Jacobs party chairman a few

months back.

We wouldn’t have to be reading these offensive stories about Santos pretending to be the descendant of Holocaust survivors if Democrats had just done their job.

But when I read stories about Democratic Party bosses, like Brooklyn’s Frank Seddio, handing out contracts worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to their close associates, I start to wonder whether they actually want to win.

It appears to me that the state Democratic committee is perfectly willing to gamble a loss on a poor candidate. As long as the money’s flowing in, what’s it to them? In fact, the scenario as it’s unfolding seems to be exactly what they want. The more the discussion centers on Santos as an aberration, the less we discuss holding the lazy, sclerotic, corrupt party machine accountable for letting people like him win in the first place.

Well, I do mind. I do care about the Democratic agenda. Here’s some tough love: It’s time to clear house and find new leadership that’s interested in winning.

Because when the machine finally collapses, it’s going to be regular Democrats who get hurt.

March is Red Cross Month, so thank our local heroes To the Editor: When emergencies happen on Long Island, like the apartment fire in Baldwin earlier this month that left a number of families without homes to go back to, help can’t wait.

In these dire moments, volunteers from Nassau and Suffolk counties, supported by local financial donors and community partners, help to ensure that their neighbors never face home fires and countless other crises alone.

“Every call is different,” says volunteer Disaster Action Team supervisor Magnolia Chiri of Deer Park, who responds to fires and other emergencies. “Every fire is different. But I go there with this shirt that says ‘Hope,’ so that’s the first thing people see when I show up. ‘Hope’ to me means that there’s a light at the end of the tunnel — that no matter how hard the hardship is, there’s always a little light out there, and there will always be people along the way who will help you.”

More than 90 percent of the work of the Red Cross is done by volunteers, and our mission simply wouldn’t be possible without them. During our 80th annual Red Cross Month celebration this month, we’re

proud to honor their selflessness and dedication, as well as our committed donors and partners. They are all community heroes who helped the Red Cross respond to 369 disasters on Long Island last year, assisting more than 1,700 of their neighbors. They also dedicated countless hours to teaching lifesaving and preparedness skills, and installing free smoke detectors in our communities.

You can join the celebration by visiting RedcCross.org to make a donation, become

a volunteer or take a class to learn lifesaving skills like first aid, CPR and how to use an AED. Donations help us provide shelter, food, relief items, emotional support and other assistance for people affected by disasters big and small.

On behalf of those we serve, we thank everyone who makes our lifesaving work possible.
