UkRAINIAN ReFUGeeS CRoSSeD into Poland in mid-March.

Aiding the Ukrainian refugees Rabbis, Jewish groups help the cause

By JeFFReY BeSSeN jbessen@liherald.com

A UJA-Federation of New York-sponsored trip in mid-March on which a pair of Five Towns rabbis were among 18 spiritual leaders who spent 48 hours in Poland, helping Ukrainian refugees, was an eye-opener.

“I wanted to go on the trip to see firsthand what was going on,” said Rabbi Elie Weinstock, 46, of the Jewish Center of Atlantic Beach. “The perspective is much more compelling, more real, than hearing the news.” He noted the Talmudic aphorism, “Hearing witness testimony should not be greater than

actually seeing the moon” — in other words, seeing is believing.

Weinstock and Rabbi Shalom Axelrod, of Young Israel of Woodmere, and 16 other rabbis from synagogues across the metropolitan area began the trip — from March 13 to March 15 — in Warsaw, Poland’s capital. From there the group went to Przemysl, a major transit hub for Ukrainian refugees, as well as Lublin and Strodborow.

“The main motivation was to try to assess the needs and help, so I figured by going I’d have a better read on the overall situation and the community within the [Jewish] communiContinued on page 10

Reciting the digits of Pi — 3.14 — the number represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter is becoming an annual ritual for Hewlett High School junior Anthony Ginzburg.

Ginzburg recited 3,141 digits of Pi in just under 20 minutes in front of two math classes in the school’s auditorium on March 23 “Hopefully next year I can break 3,000,” he told the Herald in 2021 — and he did break that goal this year. Ginzburg sets a goal each year to increase the number of digits he recites on world Pi Day — March 14.

This year, Ginzburg recited the numbers a little over a week after Pi Day due to a scheduling problem at his school.

Two math classes witnessed the 20-minute recollection and had the opportunity to ask him questions afterwards.

He started memorizing Pi digits as an extra credit project in the sixth grade, where his first record was 421 numbers.

Since then, he has added 2,720 numbers to the list in his memory. “He started to challenge himself and do more and more and it’s so easy to him,” Ginzburg’s mother Tatyana said. “For me, it’s like — I don’t understand how he’s doing this.”

Although Ginzburg has ranked within the top 100 Pi ranking list in the world in 2021 and the top 25 in the United States, he doesn’t do this with an intention to beat any records. “I do it to challenge myself,” Ginzburg said, “to see how far my mind can go.” To help him memorize, Ginzburg walks around his house and associates numbers with objects or spaces — he calls

Pi, 3.14, is the ratio of the circumference of any circle to the diameter of that circle. Regardless of the circle’s size, this ratio will always equal pi.

March 14 is recognized across the world as Pi Day and honors the mathematical constant.

this technique ‘Memory Palace.’

Though he described the first 1,000 numbers of Pi to be “almost muscle memory”, as they are easy for him to recollect, he uses Memory Palace for the more recent numbers in his Pi list.

“Mentally I walk around my house and sort of read off those numbers from those different places,” Ginzburg said. Splitting the digits into groups, practicing aloud and starting from the beginning if he makes a mistake are also ways Ginzburg memorizes Pi digits.

Ginzburg is currently taking multivariable calculus and is on the math team at school, where his teachers describe him as exceptional. “Anthony is a highly intelligent, curious and intuitive student of mathematics,” multivariable calculus teacher Jeannette Zawitosky wrote in an email. “He is an absolute pleasure to teach and adds a lot to the classroom.”

Math Team adviser Steve Krieger agreed, explaining Ginzburg’s success on the math team: “[He] placed in the top 14th percent for all 11th graders in Nassau County and is the top math student for our High School,” Krieger said. “He is respectful and sociable.”

Early voting begins for Brown vs. Lobl race where to vote

jbessen@liherald.com

The battle to succeed Melissa “Missy” Miller in the Assembly kicks off what appears to be a much busier-than-usual off-year election year — when there is no presidential race — with fellow Cedarhurst residents Ari Brown and David Lobl facing off in a special election.

Early voting runs through April 5, with the election itself two days later.

Miller, a Republican, was appointed to the Town of Hempstead. She replaced fellow Atlantic Beach resident Bruce Blakeman, now Nassau County executive.

Brown, 54 — a longtime village trustee currently serving as deputy mayor — looks to keep the seat Republican. He served on Cedarhurst’s zoning board between 1998 and 2001, a position aligning with his construction background. He joined the village board immediately after, becoming deputy mayor in 2019.

That same year he was appointed chair of the Architectural Review Board.

“I am eager to put my experience to work in the New York State Assembly,” Brown previously told the Herald. “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, whose name also appears on the Conservative Party line, says he plans to take a firm stand against attempts to defund the police as well as bail reform.

Lobl, 37, is a government and political consultant who has worked for former

FEllow CEdaRhuRSt RESidENtS Ari Brown, left, and David Lobl are battling to win the Assembly seat currently held by Melissa ‘Missy’ Miller.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Previously a resident of Far Rockaway, Lobl — a Democrat — moved to Cedarhurst in 2020. He runs the Cedarhurst-based firm Asher Strategies LLC. Lobl was also the public and government affairs director for the Friedlander Group more than a decade ago, according to a social media profile, a company specializing in workers’ compensation. Lobl had a similar role with Human Car Services for Families and Children.

He was a special assistant to Cuomo for six years beginning in 2012, before moving back into the private sector as a vice president with Kasirer LLC, an influ-

ential lobbying group, where he remained until last year.

“I think essentially the only way to make a difference in our community is to be a Democrat in the Assembly,” he previously told the Herald. “Being a member of the majority, you can accomplish your goals.”

Lobl would work with “anyone and anybody,” he said, setting his sights on amending the bail reform law, supporting tougher penalties for hate crimes, delivering as much Covid-19 relief for businesses in the district, and fighting for equal funding for private schools.

Both Brown and Lobl have had their

issues, however. Brown, for example, was one of the six Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency board members who resigned in 2016 over an approved PILOT — payment in lieu of taxes — agreement for a Valley Stream business that reportedly raised taxes for residents. Brown pointed to a 2019 state comptroller’s report vindicating the IDA, and pointed the finger instead at the school district.

Lobl was identified as the person who approved what was considered an incendiary flyer that suggested Cuomo’s 2018 Democratic primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon, was antisemitic and supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which implored colleges and governments to stop doing business with Israel.

Navigating my way through Hewlett’s Career Day

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

You are a 61-year-old newly named deputy editor for Herald Community Newspapers who also serves as a senior editor mentoring less experienced colleagues and the editor of the Nassau Herald, a community weekly newspaper that covers the Five Towns.

Asked to speak at Hewlett High School’s Career Day on March 17, you think how you are going to retain the attention of several teenagers through a presentation that is expected to last upwards of 15 minutes covering, your career, the skills you learned in school that are the helpful in your career, the skills you wished you learned in school, your college experience and college and career recommendations.

It does not sound like a lot of time, but try speaking on a topic for 15 minutes and see how easy it is. Remember public speaking classes in high school or college, remember sweating the assignments as they lengthened during the class or course?

One of my tricks is to bring a few newspapers with me and hand them out.

As the students glance through a hard copy newspaper – hopefully getting newsprint on their hands and a feel for journalism – I begin my spiel.

Jeffrey Bessen/Herald

hEwlEtt high SChool graduate Mollie Falk, class of 2014, spoke at her alma mater’s Career Day on March 17.

Speaking to three different classes of varying sizes, I got to vary my talk. In one of the class a student writes for the Spectrum, the high school newspaper. This makes it a bit easier. I should have the interest of at least one person.

In my second classroom, once again following Mollie Falk, Hewlett High class of 2014. The speakers were a varied bunch

from three former Hewlett students to a couple of Board of Education trustees and local businesspeople.

I changed my pitch to address a class of roughly 30 students and at least two class clowns. Having been one of the reigning class clowns at P.S. 8 and Junior High School 80 in the Bronx, handling them is easy, You indulge a little and then

remain on message as politicians would say.

The third class was much smaller because the sophomores attended an assembly with James “Murr” Murray, of the “Impractical Jokers.” Having met and seen Murray in action the day before I did not feel slighted. A more personal touch was called for when to speaking four students, especially ones not headed to journalism.

The primary reason for Career Day is reinforcement of advice students might have heard from their parents or teachers, but hearing from people outside that sphere might help it sink in said Hewlett’s Business Education 1hairman Bob Machado, who also serves as the advisor to the school’s Business Advisory Board and Senior Project coordinator.

“For me the most important thing is, we can sit here as teachers and even as parents and tell our children this is what you need to do, this is what you need to do, this is what you need to, but they don’t listen, lots of times, but someone else comes and says the same exact thing they tend to listen more,” Machado said.

I was told my presentations were “engaging and informative.” So, if your are a Hewlett High School student you just might see me on Interview Day, April 6.

Village of Lawrence residents could be paying a bit more for living in the 125-year-old municipality as the tax rate per $100 of assessed value (the value of a property as determined by a tax assessor) will increase $2 to $127 in the proposed $6,785,850 million budget for the new fiscal year that begins on June 1.

A public hearing on the tentative budget will be part of the village’s April 7 meeting. The preliminary fiscal plan can be reviewed at Village Hall, 196 Central Ave., Lawrence. The meeting is at 8 p.m.

The current operating budget is $6.663 million. Revenues for the proposed budget are estimated at $2.877 million, nearly $500,000 or 21 percent more than the 202122 budget. However, the appropriated fund balance – the amount of money assigned

to fund specific expenses – declined by $33,512 or 35 percent from $1,29 million to $786,211.

“The village is doing very good, fiscally sound,” Mayor Alex Adelman said, adding that the budget does not include the influx money from the sale of the Rock Hall property with a portion expected to be generated this year and another next year. The sale of the nearly 4-acre parcel went to contract and will now go to closing. It was purchased for $8.5 million. It is planned that at least seven single-family homes will be built.

Adelman added that the Lawrence Yacht & Country Club, usually a drain on village finances, is rebounding from the Covid lull with membership numbers ticking upward and golf outing being booked. There is also a new caterer at the club. “We are head of last year’s numbers and overall it looks good,” he said.

There’s something I like about small numbers, especially the numbers 1, 2 and 3. For me, more than three is typically unmanageable. I believe that at any specific time everything I need to do and everything I want to remember should be no more than three.

I’ll explain what I mean with three examples: 1. If you’re running around today attempting to get 101 things done - stop!

Ask yourself what are the three most important tasks you need to do now.

Then get them done. Three is manageable; 101 is not. If you finish the three and still have energy to do more, do another one. Then when you complete the task, pat yourself on the back and say, “I did it, good for me!”

2. If you’re feeling dumb because you can’t figure out some of the features of your cell, computer, printer or the latest gadget you just bought, stop!

It’s all too much. Settle on learning one thing - only one! Hopefully, when you

figure out this one feature, you’ll feel more confident and a little less technologically challenged. Success is born by achieving one accomplishment at a time!

ready for more.

• Perhaps you’ve read an article entitled, “25 ways to get more organized.” Twenty-five, are you serious? The author must think you’re sitting around with nothing to do except master these maxims.

No, no, no! You have a life to live. So, throw out that magazine (one task accomplished!) or skim the article to see if an idea or two might be helpful. Just apadin one or two, max three will do.

Person to Person

3. If you’ve had a frustrating day and feel ready to explode, don’t try to calm your anger by counting to ten. That doesn’t work. When you’re furious, counting to ten takes a millisecond, and then wham — you erupt with more fury than before. Instead, take three deep breaths, inhaling slowly, exhaling slowly. Deep breaths are most effective in creating calm.

Linda S

Okay, do you have these suggestions down pat? If not, reread them till they sink in. No matter how many gray cells you have, there’s just so much you can absorb at any one time. So, don’t read on until you’ve digested the first three ideas. Then, and only then, are you

• Want to lose weight? Yup, many of us do. Big numbers can sabotage your objective when it comes to weight loss.

Instead of thinking about the total amount of weight you’d like to lose, focus on losing two pounds this week.

Or maybe just one. Whatever you accomplish, that’s great! Next week, aim for another pound or two; no more!

You put on the weight a pound at a time; you need to take it off the same way.

• You’re angry! But instead of enumerating all the faults of your loved one, pick out one thing most annoying to you and discuss it with him/her.

Okay, two if you can’t control yourself !

Fingers are not to be used to tally up all the wicked, nasty, stupid things your loved one did. Fingers are meant for better things.

Okay, enough is enough! I hope you spend the rest of this day enjoying yourself. So many of us don’t for we’re too busy worrying about all the stuff we gotta do. ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

Notes from an invisible man It’s great. I no longer have to buy (or even wear) any clothing or shave or get a haircut. I can enter movie or theaters without a ticket and slip out of boring meetings and lectures with total impunity. Never again need I be concerned with “keeping up appearances” or how I look, because apparently I am … invisible.

After a lifetime of often being a “sight for sore eyes” and attending meaningless parties just to “see and be seen,” I am suddenly unseen and invisible to the naked (and ever overdressed eye).

No longer need anyone lie that they “see what I mean” or see where I’m coming from” or insist that they “see me for

what ( or who) I am” because I am it appears unseeable.

No secretary can usher you into my officer with a curt “ you can see him now,” because the fact is you can’t, as I go from place to place with the transparency of a continuously well-audited company.

Truth be told it wasn’t always like this.

For years I would stand in line and hear “excuse me” or “may I get past” from folks who, for whatever reason, felt I was in their way.

My presence was clearly obvious and visible to those who either waited patiently for me to complete my business or asked me politely (or sometimes a tad more

aggressively) to please hurry as they watched me negotiate a parking space or make a deposit or get change or buy bread.

Recently, However, I’ve experienced a vast majority of people who just push right past me or go right through me.

Whether on their cell phones or in their SUVs or while chatting with friends, they jump ahead in parking lot, bakery lines, funerals or parent-teacher conferences without so much as “boo.”

Even when walking down the street, no one greets me with either a word or gesture, while any small act of kindness I may perform, like for example, holding a door open, goes unacknowledged and apparently, unnoticed.

Stupidly, (and, I guess, selfishly) I initially thought all these people were just illmannered and rude. But then I thought, “how could so vast a number of intelligent, alert individuals be so discourteous and contemptuous of others?” No, there had to be some other explanation of why, all of a sudden, I was encountering not a single “pardon me,” “sorry,” “please” or “thank you” as I was jostled, shoved and consistently ignored.

It was then that my cousin Mo explained that those who race past me with such wild abandon aren’t being ruse or boorish … they just don’t see me!

So fixated are they with themselves and their needs (and more importantly, their wants) that I am invisible to them. They aren’t being insensitive to my feelings, they are oblivious to my very (invisible) existence. They consider their lives, not as a window through which to see others, but rather as a mirror which reflects only them.

So pumped up are they (perhaps with their own hot air) that they float so high above anyone’s radar that I (as well as others) don’t even appear as a blip on their screens. You can’t care about, or react to, or feel for, that which you can’t see, and you can’t see that (or those) whom you make invisible.

It gives new meaning to the expression “out of sight, out of mind:” if you remove someone from your sight, you can pay them no mind.

Anyways, as noted, for many reasons, I’m happy to be invisible. Yet, as I look around at so many and see how they behave, I’m sad they don’t see me. I’m sadder still that they don’t see themselves. © 2022 Ron Goldman

Shoppers still paying higher food prices continued from front page as it emerges from the pandemic economic slump.”

Many Long Islanders are still struggling financially in the post-pandemic economy. Sasha Young, the founder of Gammy’s Pantry, in the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence, said that more than 5,000 South Shore families have registered with the pantry, and the numbers are still growing.

“The need has grown tremendously since Covid began,” Young said, “and now, more than two years later, compounded with inflation, the number of

families in need continues to rise. With inflation and the cost of food going up almost across the board, it has become increasingly difficult to keep food on the table.”

Young, who lives in Inwood, said she has seen the price of meat nearly double in the past two years, and then when she shops for the pantry, “the four carts we used to come away with have now dwindled to two with the rising food costs.”

The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts these increases this year Grocery store prices .............................................................. 4 percent or more restaurant costs ................................................................ 6.5 percent or more Seafood .................................................................................. up to 4.5 percent Dairy products ....................................................................... 5 percent or more

eggs .................................................................................... 3.5 percent or more Fats and oils (olive oil, margarine) ....................................... 7 percent or more Fresh fruits and vegetables ................................................... 4 percent or more processed fruits and vegetables ........................................ 5.5 percent or more cereal and bakery products .................................................. 4 percent or more Non-alcoholic beverages .................................................... 4.5 percent or more other foods ............................................................................ 4 percent or more

The U.S. DepArTmeNT of Agriculture reports that food prices are expected to rise another 4.5 to 5.5 percent this year.

The price oF meat increased more than 8 percent between February 2021 and this February.

5 Towns rabbis gain perspective on refugee crisis continued from front page ty,” said Axelrod, 52. After he returned to the U.S., he organized a food drive at Young Israel on Sunday in conjunction with the UJA and the Orthodox Union.

Shul members are also donating money to aid Ukrainian refugees.

On the whirlwind trip, the rabbis visited the Warsaw Jewish Community Center, which Weinstock said has been a refuge for displaced Ukrainians. He added that the Krakow JCC was serving a similar purpose.

“The Jewish community in Poland is pretty small, and all of a sudden they are turning to assist people who don’t know what their next stop is,” Weinstock said.

“The Jewish Agency for Israel is helping people make aliyah to Israel.”

The idea of being refugees resonates with Jewish people, Axelrod said, who are preparing for Passover April 15-23. The holiday’s story recounts the ancient Hebrews’ exodus from Egypt, after which they wandered the desert for 40 years before settling in Canaan, the land that is now Israel.

“Hundreds of thousands of people need to be resettled as the Jewish people

UJA-Federation-New York grants The UJA-Federation-New York, headquartered In Manhattan, raises and allocates money to help fulfill its mission “to care for people.” In March the organization provided grants to the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee ($1 million); the Jewish Agency for Israel, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society and the Ukrainian Humanitarian Fund ($500,000 each); the Office of the Chief Rabbi of Poland and the Israel Trauma Coalition ($150,000 each); the Afya Foundation ($125,000); NATAN ($100,000); Moishe House ($60,000), and Charity Tax ($10,000). Source: UJA are planning for Passover,” Axelrod said, adding that the Ukrainian refugee situation has galvanized a variety of organizations, including Agudath Israel of America, the Orthodox Union and the UJA. Noting a more contemporary problem, Axelrod said that Jews on Long Island’s South Shore experienced Hurricane Sandy and “lost their property very quickly and had to adjust to a new reality.” The Ukrainian crisis adds another dimension because of the loss of life, the fact that many Ukrainians cannot travel and the uncertainty of their future.

Another obstacle, Axelrod said, is language. Few Ukrainians speak English.

The majority speak Ukrainian, or Russian, or both.

“This is something I said when the war started that none of us have experienced in our lifetime: war in Europe,” Weinstock said. “The reverberations are personal; the impact is national. It’s different from Vietnam. This has an impact on everyone in ways we’ve never seen before.

There is also a lot of good with people responding to overcome evil.”

Weinstock said that some of the refugees have incredible stories, including a 95-year-old man, a Holocaust survivor, whose son lives in Israel and was trying to get his father to the Jewish state.

“There are many stories from those who weren’t settled, people keep moving, refugees not staying in camps,” Weinstock said, “but people need a place to go. There are millions who are displaced.” As of press time, the United Nations said that more than 3.8 million have fled Ukraine.

An invasion of one sovereign nation by another was not what the world was expecting at this moment in history, Axelrod said. “No one expected to see a war between two countries like Russia and Ukraine,” he said. “It is something we thought we were past. We were relying on relationships, and lived in relative safety and security. Now there is a potential for World War III, and it makes everyone nervous.”

President Biden announced last week that the U.S. would take in more than 100,000 Ukrainian refugees. “The UJA began with its nonprofit partners to plan for the absorption and resettlement in New York,” the organization’s CEO, Eric Goldstein, said in a statement. “Yes, we know there are language issues, but New York has the largest Ukrainian community outside Ukraine, and we are working with our partners.”

With 24 community weekly newspapers and a website, Herald Community Newspapers has a wide reach, according to company president — and breakfast host — Stuart Richner. In fact, “92 percent of Long Islanders go to their mailbox daily,” meaning that traditional print products remain an effective way to reach existing and potential customers.

He also noted the organization also discusses issues on the county, town and village levels.

Breakfasts like these are held the last Thursday of every month except October, when the council holds its annual Businessperson of the Year and Legislative Breakfast that serves as a fundraiser for the organization.

BAGELBOsshEwLEtt.cOm

The six long tables were evenly divided, with chairs on either side, with plenty of room for breakfast, coffee and some juice.

The large conference room inside the Garden City headquarters of Richner Communications Inc., sprang to life, as the Herald publisher welcomed members of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce last week to do something they haven’t done much of during the pandemic era — get together in-person.

“For almost two years, we did just Zoom,” said Frank Camarano, the council’s president. Although it was convenient under the circumstances, “I didn’t like it.”

Pointing to the room full of people talking, either one-on-one, or in small groups, Camarano declared that “in-person is much better. We need in-person.”

The council is a group of 42 chambers of commerce from across the county collectively addressing legislative issues that could have an impact on Nassau businesses. The council seeks to promote what it calls “economic security and enhanced growth.” Through promotion of campaign like “Shop Local,” the group looks to ensure a bright future for the businesses and the communities where they are located.

“We just went to Albany and we partner with Suffolk County and Vision Long Island,” Camarano said. “We are a sound-

business on the premises, as well as new products like the magazine LI Home. Richner also shared the recent success of its Business Women of Long Island Awards dinner where 400 people attended an inperson gala at the Heritage Club in Bethpage State Park.

Spotlighting the talents of the in-house graphic designers, Richner added: “You can write on the back of a napkin, and we’ll turn it into something good.”

All of Long Island was the focus of a presentation by Kristen Reynolds, president and chief executive of Discover Long Island, an organization that promotes Long Island as a tourist destination. She was joined by her chief operations officer, Sharon Wyman.

Reynolds spoke about her 14-employee staff that oversees a $3 million annual budget — money generated from hotel occupancy taxes. Yet, her budget is paltry compared to the $37 million available to New York City.

With 10 social media channels — including one on YouTube — Reynolds said Discover Long Island aims to tell people “what Long Island has to offer,” adding the group looks to host parties focused on events such as the Belmont Stakes.

It will relaunch its website in October.

LMS Drama Club roars The Lawrence Middle School Drama Club performed two shows of “The Lion King Kids,” based on the 1994 Disney animated musical film. “I am incredibly proud of Drama Club students,” Principal Willis Perry said in a news release. “Our performers worked extremely hard to create a memorable experience for their audiences and based on the reaction of those audiences, they more than met their goal. I would like also to thank the Lawrence

High School crew members who contributed their time and talent in helping to make sure the shows were a huge success.”

“I am always amazed at our students’ dedication and talents in Lawrence schools,” Drama Club director Pam Gallopini. Gallopini noted the work of music director Susan Rogan, choreographer Inga Gerson, technical director Rob Verdone and pianist Brian Stabile.

GOP candidates are ready for campaigning

NASSAU HERALD — March 31, 2022

By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

Will this be the year Republicans take back both Albany and Washington?

That’s not likely at the state level, but more modern tradition on Capitol Hill has favored the party not in the White House in midterm elections, which gave members of the Nassau County GOP some confidence when they kicked off their fall campaign in Westbury last week.

It was there they introduced their congressional and state candidates, sounding traditional party themes of lowering taxes, fighting crime, and “rebuilding the economy.”

Republicans are particularly optimistic about their chances given high gas and food prices, perceived crime spikes in major cities, and Joe Biden’s waning popularity.

“We are going to have a tremendous victory this year,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said. “People are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They can’t afford gasoline. People are realizing we are the answer to their problems, not the Democratic Party.”

Topping the list of candidates is Anthony D’Esposito, a Hempstead town councilman seeking to replace Democratic congresswoman Kathleen Rice, who already announced she wasn’t seeking re-election.

But the race for Rice’s seat is crowded, at least among Democrats. They include former Hempstead town supervisor Laura Gillen, county legislators Siela Bynoe and Carrié Solages, and Malverne mayor Keith Corbett.

Jack Martins, a past Mineola mayor and a former state senator, is seeking another shot at his senate seat, challenging incumbent Democrat Anna Kaplan of Great Neck.

Assemblyman Edward Ra, ranking member of the Assembly’s ways and means committee, also seeks re-

REpuBlIcAN cANdIdATES foR state and federal officers gathered at GOP headquarters in Westbury on March 25 to kick off the fall campaign. election. Other Republicans running for Congress whose districts include a portion of Nassau County are Andrew Garbarino, George Santos, Nick LaLota and Paul King.

“I talk to a lot of people in the district,” said D’Esposito, a retired New York City Police detective.

“They are fed up. People can’t put food on the table. They feel the country is off-track.”

But Democrats see things a bit differently. Nassau County Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs said in an email that “broken economy” includes a record-breaking gross domestic product growth of nearly 6 percent, the addition of 7 million jobs, and an unemployment rate

below 4 percent — “all while reducing the Trump budget deficit by $360 billion since Joe Biden took office.”

Republicans know no Democrat running in Nassau County — or anywhere else — supports defunding police, Jacobs added. “Yet, they cling to it along with bail reform as if they are the causes of increased crime, when all the data proves otherwise.

“The uptick in violent crime is a nationwide problem, and among the two greatest causes are gun violence and a lack of funding for mental health. Republicans continue to do nothing to control the influx of guns and wear mental health budget cuts as a badge of honor.”

A celebration of Long Island’s premier women

By MARIA CESTERO mcestero@liherald.com

Dressed in pantsuits or even long sequined gowns, guests chatted in the lively atmosphere that made up this year’s Premier Business Women of Long Island awards gala last week at the Heritage Club in Bethpage.

Part of Women’s History Month, the third annual event hosted by Herald C o m m u n i t y N ew s p ap e r s g r a n t e d remarkable women the chance to network with other successful peers, celebrating the culmination of their success.

“I think it’s very important for young women to see an example of a woman who works very hard,” said Nadgeena Jerome, Miss Long Island 2022. “I think it’s really important to highlight those efforts, especially when there is a sense of inequality toward women that we try very hard to diminish, but unfortunately (is) still there.”

Joining Jerome among the 49 winners was Leanne Pinard Baum, the owner and director of Miss Long Island Pageants, as well as Miss Long Island Teen 2022.

Stuart Richner noted a remarkable woman in his life — Edith Richner, who founded Herald parent Richner Communications alongside husband Robert Richner nearly 60 years ago. The current company chief executive emphasized the importance of including and empowering women in all industries, all while promoting diversity in the workplace.

“If she were here today, I have no doubt that she would be in disbelief at and extremely proud of the dozens of Long Island business leaders gathered here this evening,” Richner said of his mother. “While we have certainly come a long way in the past six decades, there is still a lot more work to do to achieve

Accompanied by television host and entrepreneur Judy Goss, the duo presented awards to all 49 of the honorees.

News 12 Long Island reporter Antoinette Biordi joined them as a special guest speaker.

One by one, each honoree accepted their award, encouraged by thundering applause and cheer from the crowd.

Retha Fernandez described walking up to the stage as “amazing.”

“Women, traditionally, we do work — sometimes without being noticed or recognized,” said Fernandez, Suffolk County’s chief diversity and inclusion officer.

“But we do it for the love of the work, and just seeing what women across Long Island are doing is a form of inspiration, really.”

Magdalonie Paris-Campbell described her Premier Business Women

awards as just the beginning.

“Never give up and don’t stop believing,” said the AT&T Services area manager. “Even when the lights are dim, we (women) are warriors. The world is endless.”

A portion of the gala’s ticket proceeds will be donated to Moxxie Mentoring Foundation, a non-profit that supports and fosters career advancement and leadership development of young women.

“Our mission is to connect, collaborate and celebrate, and I hope you made some great connections here this evening,” said Amy Amato, corporate relations and events executive director at Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLive, who organized the event.

“It is a privilege to be here with such talented, driven and giving group of strong and fearless women. And tonight, we celebrate you.”

MovINg to SoutH Carolina could include living in a home like this one in the Charleston suburb of Summerville. This four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house is nearly 3,000 square feet, and is listing for $549,000.

Charleston, James Island, Summerville and West Ashley are among other many affordable suburban areas, all helped with South Carolina’s low tax rates. A property valued at $400,000 could pay as little as $2,000 in taxes each year if treated as a primary property, Browder shared.

“People, especially after the Jana pandemic, are looking for our lifestyle and livability,” Bantz said. “The distance between South Carolina and New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is only a day’s drive away. Florida is a two-day trip. Being close to family is also a draw.”

And South Carolina’s location eases some of the more extreme weather patterns found in northern states.

“The strong storms are mostly broken up by the breeze of the ocean before they get to the lowland,” Greenlee said.

“Thunderstorms will occur more inland, but don’t count on Charleston getting any major Bantz tornados.”

“Many of the children in the low country haven’t even seen snow,” Banta said. “So when it does snow, it’s a party.”

Yes, there are hurricanes. Oceanfront homes would need to be secured. Interior

areas such as Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and Summerville, however typically only experience rain and wind.

“We get 10 days’ notice before they arrive, so everyone just battens down the hatches and waits for them to go,” Bantz said.

For those who do want to move don’t even have to wait for retirement. Charleston offers a booming job market with high-end employers and top-notch medical services, according to the panelists. Medical University of South Carolina’s Teaching Hospital draws the best and the brightest young medical students looking to serve beach towns, among a plethora of hospitals in Moncks Corner, Mount Pleasant and Summerville.

Anyone getting around Long Island last Friday needed heavy coats and maybe even scarves. But that wasn’t true in Charleston.

“It’s a beautiful, South Carolina day,” Bantz said. “Sunny, blue skies. It’s 72. We broke out our summer wardrobe. Spring is here. Flowers are blooming, birds are building nests. It’s beautiful.”

Northern winters are cold and dreary, summers full of roadway construction. Of course, we love life on Long Island. But if we’re ever considering a change of scenery, South Carolina hopes you’ll check out what the south has to offer..

“We’re getting lots of buyers from the north because of our climate, because of our lifestyle, and because our homes are very affordable,” said Jana Bantz, who runs Jana Bantz & Associates in Summerville, located just outside of Charleston. “People move here because there’s something for everyone.”

Bantz joined Southern Trust loan officer Beth Greenlee and real estate attorney Michael Browder as part of the RichnerLive webinar series, Herald Inside LI. She gets people love their New York homes, but it doesn’t mean they can’t consider something new — or even something additional — in South Carolina.

It’s a state filled with beaches, in-ground swimming pools, and plenty of flat land considered great for cyclists. Bantz lauded the world-class restaurants and art scenes the Charleston area also offers.

Downtown Charleston is home to highend real estate with many historical homes dating back to the 18th century. Kiawah, a barrier island southwest of Charleston, is primarily a private beach and golf resort with nearly 40 such courses within 20 miles of the coastal city.

Children made ‘Jungle Groggers’ noisemakers to drown out the name of Purim’s villain – Haman.

Bungle in the Hewlett holiday jungle The Chabad of Hewlett celebrated Purim on March 17 with a jungle-themed party at its house in Hewlett. There were two gatherings, one at 5:30 and another at 7 p.m.

There was the traditional Megillah reading that recounts the story of Purim and how the ancient Jews overcame the

villainous Haman.

Adults and children took part in wild activities and crafts, a jungle photo booth, a drum circle, safari caricatures, jungle balloon art , an exotic animal show and a lion-sized barbecue buffet.

A festive Five Towns Chabad Purim party Purim was celebrated by the Chabad of the Five Towns as its home in Cedarhurst under the big tent on March 17. Children and adults dressed in costumes ranging from Purim characters to contemporary superheroes.

There were carnival games, a festive meal supplemented by tasty treats such as cotton candy and snow cones.

Purim tells the tale of ancient Jews overcoming the villainous Haman in the Persian court on King Ahasuerus.

Esther and her cousin, Mordecai, are the heroes, a story recalled in the Megillah.

Q. We’ve been discussing adding a room on the second floor, behind our kitchen, with views of the water. We spoke to two contractors, and one told us that we can’t use our existing deck to make the floor of the new room because it has an overhang that he called a cantilever, which is too far out beyond our existing deck beams. Is this true that we have to start over, instead of saving money by using our existing deck?

Rockville Centre

Classic Center Hall Tudor Colonial

A. What you heard may or may not be true, but unless someone with the ability and training to calculate the load distribution and confirm it with building codes can check it, you’ll probably never know if you could have saved the structure or not. The unwritten rule, compared with the code standard, is typically that repetitive floor joists onte eeper shouldn’t span more than 2 feet beyond a support beam. If calculations show that the bending moment, fiber stress and moment of inertia are within a safe range, however, then the existing structure may be able to be saved.

It gets more complicated, though, because most decks have inadequate spread footings for the weight distribution underground, especially because people assume, incorrectly, that sandy soil is very stable. They also generally have little understanding of what freezing conditions can do to the entire structure. In other words, most decks are built based on many assumptions, but aren’t considered as big an issue if they move, since cracking and uplift generally aren’t a noticeable concern.

It really doesn’t matter if a design professional is working on a big building or something as simple as a deck, because the ability to cause deadly problems and mistakes is still the same. It’s understandable that people want to save money by not hiring an architect or engineer for something seemingly so simple, but you may want to consider that most municipalities require plans prepared under the direction and review of a licensed professional, and not guessed at by someone with power tools who builds. Many people learn the hard way, especially when they go to legalize a deck long after it has been built and used for years, that the way it was built won’t pass and get a permit without expensive changes.

There are many regulations, codes and laws regarding every kind of structure, from where it can be placed to the materials and methods of putting it together. It doesn’t take much, just a consultation with an architect or engineer, to find out the answer to your question. Building an addition close to water means making a little more effort to only do things once, especially with exposure to the conditions of higher wind and water force, corrosive salt air, saltwater and unstable soil. You may end up with a new structure, but when you think about the investment and your safety, it will be worth it.

Good luck!

OpINIONS

L

ong awaited, spring, the season of beginnings, has begun. Though it happens with astronomical regularity, isn’t it interesting that we’re always surprised by the first buds, the first mist-like sheen of yellow in trees that looked lifeless for months, the first songbirds?

The perennially anticipated equinox brings more than pop-up daffodils and lively robins to us this year.

Mostly free of masks, marathons are back on, parades have returned, and we JOHN dine outside it’s so O'CONNELL because nice, not for fear of death. These signs of spring’s rebirth are worthy of being called blessings to count.

Of course, we’re not completely “back.”

We mingle, but still carefully, in restaurants and at parties, at the supermarket, at crowded ball games and in schools.

We’re still cautious on the days we’re back in the office, and we’re fully masked for medical appointments. Subway, train and plane rides remain as masked as gatherings of thieves.

Those reasonable restrictions notwithstanding, it’s time to get out.

A

How appropriate that this get-out-ofCovid-jail pass coincides not only with the northern hemisphere’s blooming time, but also with April’s holy celebrations of liberation: Pesach and Easter. Whether we’re commemorating our people’s escape from slavery or our redemption secured by the risen Lord, it’s our time now for freedom and rebirth. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and probably all religions celebrate spring as freedom from fasting and a return to fruitfulness.

Lured by the fresh scents of growing grass and budding crocuses, enticed by the sweet chirps of returning warblers, we’re ready and willing to escape our coopedup homes and enjoy all that our region offers. You may have your special spring escapes, but here are some favorite places to spend a spring day.

The 409-acre Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park, in Oyster Bay, is an ideal venue for individual, couple or family walks among beautiful trees, spring gardens and greenhouses. If you’re by yourself, bring a book; there are plenty of benches on which to sit and read in peace.

Less than five miles from the Planting Fields is Theodore Roosevelt’s family home at Sagamore Hill. The National Historical Site gives life not only to the president’s days at his Summer White House,

W

but also holds treasures from his journeys out West and to Africa. You can feel TR’s energy there. The grounds are inspiring.

A few minutes’ drive from downtown Oyster Bay is the president’s gravesite, at Youngs Memorial Cemetery. After a full life, Roosevelt was laid to rest in this peaceful place in 1919, at age 60.

Next to the cemetery is the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center. Except for the chirps of countless songbirds, it’s a quiet place with education programs for adults and children.

On the opposite compass point, one of the most wellknown beaches in the world, Jones Beach State Park, offers six and a half miles of broad, clean ocean beaches, nature centers, food concessions and a magnificent boardwalk.

I’ve been going to Jones Beach for almost 60 years, and it’s never been better. For bikers, there are trails from Wantagh and other South Shore villages to the park and then east, beside Ocean Parkway.

Freeport’s Nautical Mile has many waterside eateries and drinkeries, party boats, gift shops and fresh-fish markets.

In Suffolk County, enjoy an afternoon at Riverhead’s Long Island Aquarium, a fun experience, especially for kids.

There is a fleet of “open” boats for fishing at Captree State Park, just north of

e're ready and willing to get outside and enjoy all that our region offers.

Robert Moses State Park, another fabulous beach and recreation area.

Looking to take the family to a professional baseball game without the crazy prices? Even Mets and Yankee fans will enjoy the L.I. Ducks, who play their first home games starting April 22.

Town of Hempstead residents can enjoy a round of golf at excellent rates at the Lido Beach or Merrick courses. Oyster Bay golfers can enjoy the Hon. Joseph Colby course in Woodbury.

This is an opportune time for Nassau County residents to purchase a Leisure Pass. It costs $36, gets you into many county recreation facilities and entitles you to valuable discounts. You can obtain a pass at most county parks.

There’s lot of springtime in the 930acre Eisenhower Park. Larger than Manhattan’s Central Park, Eisenhower has ball fields, picnic areas, one of the best golf facilities on Long Island and one of the best swimming facilities in America.

Reserve space for a family, team or organization picnic in Eisenhower Park or any of the many other Nassau County parks. Call your local county park after April 4; find every park’s phone number at https://bit.ly/3N6sEfL. Whatever your favorite springtime pursuits, now’s the time to shed winter’s shivers and bask in April’s warmth.

Where am I at 75? Reflections from the edge

rriving at age 75, alive, intact, and ready to roll into the future, I would like to share some reflections on the last seven-plus decades. I know. Can you believe it? Right?

The main thing is, I don’t have advice for anyone. I never thought that teetering into older age necessarily conferred wisdom or the right to tell others what to do. So carry on, make your own mistakes. You will soar, you will fall, and if you get up, you will move on.

I never made a big deal about birthdays, but this RANDI year is different. I KREISS feel changed by the pandemic experience, and inclined to be more open about the journey so far.

Facing death will do that to you, and many of us have come to terms with our mortality, unless, of course, we deployed industrial-strength denial.

Authenticity in myself and others has become key. I don’t want to dance the dance anymore. I have always abhorred small talk, maybe because I’m not very

good at it, but I have little tolerance for the “So, what are you watching these days?” although it is not beneath me to ask exactly that when I’m stuck with strangers. My preference is to get to the truth of the moment and exchange ideas, not chitchat.

I feel a freedom that I didn’t always carry with me in my careers in teaching and journalism, and even in my life as a parent and friend. So many dinners with so many people who were part of our social life.

We all had those circles.

When our kids were little and we left them with babysitters, it was to see other adults. Some were dear, and the relationships were central to our well-being. But some were people who were nice to talk to but not emotionally connected with us. It was fine, back then, but these days, time is more precious. It has become a supply-chain issue, like everything else.

With the pandemic, the entire paradigm of an adult social life shifted. We saw no one for over a year, and then, gradually, a few “safe” people, and recently a few more. What hit home is how nurtur-

A

ing and vital the special friends are. What is true, too, is that as you get older, even without a pandemic, some relationships ebb.

Some of us have become less tolerant of the lapses that come with age. As much as I hated being at the children’s table when I was 5, it’s challenging to be at a table of 70-somethings. I can’t sit facing a bright light. My husband can’t hear everything. Someone else can’t get their artificial hip into the chair. Another one needs the heat set at 85.

I learned, too, during these years of crisis, that the quality of a relationship doesn’t always depend on face-to-face meetings. I have held close to my heart a number of people through long emails and telephone conversations that aren’t hit-and-miss but planned and set in the calendar. Some others I see when we can, and when we do, it’s as if no time has passed at all. Instant connection, 5G at least.

By the time I reached 70, I realized I had spent way too much time worrying what others thought of me. That might sound ridiculous from someone who

uthenticity in myself and others has become key.

Small talk?

No thanks.

writes a column that sometimes elicits death threats, but those are different.

They aren’t personal. I could fret for days about an offhand comment I made to a friend that might possibly have offended.

Or I could feel slighted by a remark from someone else. By 75, and not a moment too soon, I am moving beyond that hypersensitivity.

My third-grade teacher, Mrs. Heller, told me I needed to grow an elephant skin, and she was right. It just took me a while.

Another shift that comes in the fullness of our years is our drift toward the wings of the family stage, the fringe, the edge. You get it. We aren’t the main event anymore.

That’s a very good thing. Our kids are officially launched. We have no 40-yearolds living in the basement.

We do have an opportunity now to take on fresh challenges. Maybe all of us elders should go back to our full-time jobs now that no one else wants to work. Or just chill.

Thank you for indulging me. Apparently, I’m having a “where did all the years go” moment.

I am astonished to be 75 years old.

t was said to be cold that spring morning in 1768 when 20 or so businessmen gathered at Fraunces Tavern in Lower Manhattan. The goal was to create a coalition of merchants, intended to help — and even protect — one another.

King George III wasted no time granting a royal charter. But within a few years, this bustling guild would be deeply divided between those loyal to the crown and those seeking independence. The revolutionaries ultimately won — both the war and control of the chamber, which grew from an organization supporting New York City to one that supported New York state.

It is now known as the Partnership for New York City, and many credit the chamber for everything from the birth of the Erie Canal to the development of transatlantic cables to what would become the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.

There are nearly 4,000 chambers of commerce spread across the country today, according to the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives. And more than 40 them are right here in Nassau County, which is home to 150,000 businesses that employ more than 800,000 people.

No matter how we break down economic development, two key components always remain — people, of course, and businesses.

letters Now, a story on the speeding in Atlantic Beach?

To the Editor: I read “Where 5 have died, plans for a stoplight,” in last week’s Herald, about the planned installation of a traffic light at Edward Avenue in Woodmere. I agree, and I am sure it will decrease accidents.

Another issue I would appreciate your shining some light on is the constant speeding on Park Street in Atlantic Beach. This subject is brought up monthly at our village meeting, petitions have circulated and letters have been sent to the 4th Precinct and local leaders. But nothing is done.

Police from the precinct are often parked in the area, yet only three to five speeding tickets are given monthly (as reported at the monthly meetings). The speed limit is 25 mph, and heavy trucks drive at 50 mph plus.

Nassau is blessed with a number of the county’s largest employers, like Northwell Health, Catholic Health Services of Long Island and the Stop & Shop grocery store chain, which alone employs more than 8,000 workers, according to published reports. The NYU Langone Hospital isn’t far behind.

But the vast majority of businesses are the ones where any of us can walk in, and we know the employees by name. We know the owners. We go to the same churches and synagogues, the same school board meetings, the same parks.

And we depend on every one of these businesses, not just for the goods and services they provide, not just for the jobs and paychecks they create, but also for helping us establish the very sense of community we have come to enjoy.

Some chambers, like the one in Wantagh, host Fourth of July parades every year. The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores is known for its street festivals and vendor events, including one coming up April 23. The Glen Cove chamber highlights local eateries with its regular Culinary Delights events.

There are boardwalk fairs hosted by the Long Beach chamber, Kids Fests organized by the Merrick chamber, and car shows from the Oyster Bay-East Norwich chamber.

And we can’t forget the Rockville Centre chamber’s Eat Shop Rock, which last

year attracted 75 vendors, 50 food trucks and 18 live bands.

These extraordinary coalitions represent the very lifeblood of our communities. And all of them are part of a much larger consortium that helps enhance those voices even more: The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, which not only advocates and promotes businesses through programs like its “Shop Local” campaign, but also connects businesses with a number of resources, including grants, tax-abatement programs and even federal services, like the Paycheck Protection Program created during the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are a sounding board,” council president Frank Camarano told a breakfast crowd that gathered at our Herald Community Newspapers headquarters last week, adding that the council wants to “give our members a voice.”

With 150,000 businesses, it may feel impossible not to get drowned out in a cacophony of voices.

That’s why chambers are more important than ever, especially as all of us recover from the economic turmoil of the pandemic, while climbing the mountain of supply-chain shortages and high inflation.

There’s a reason why chambers are woven into the very fabric of our society: Without them, there simply wouldn’t be society.

n the 246-year history of the United States, a Black woman has never served on the U.S. Supreme Court.

With President Joe Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, that should soon change. A U.S. Senate vote on her nomination is expected next month.

From an early age, Jackson was advised as a Black woman to lower her expectations.

As the White House states, “When Judge Jackson told her high school guidance counselor she eLaine wanted to attend Harvard, the guidGross ance counselor warned that Judge Jackson should not set her ‘sights so high.’” She went on to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard University and cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review.

Biden’s earlier announcement that a Black woman would fill the Supreme Court seat generated howls of protests from conservatives — similarly telling every Black woman who is qualified to fill the seat not to set their sights so high.

Republican presidents had previously promised to appoint women to the court, and appointed white women without controversy. Former President Donald Trump pledged to nominate a woman after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020; Ronald Reagan promised in 1980 to nominate the first woman to the court.

Yet the promise to appoint a Black woman brought howls. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, called Biden’s announcement “an insult to Black women,” adding, “Black women are, what, 6 percent of the U.S. population? He’s saying to 94 percent of Americans, ‘I don’t give a damn about you. You are ineligible.’”

U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, said that as a result of Biden’s pledge, the first Black woman on the Supreme Court would be a beneficiary of affirmative action.

The controversy comes from Biden’s pledging to appoint a Black woman, because that violates the racial hierarchy of structural racism. Structural racism is the historical and ongoing racial discrimination, segregation and marginalization of Black people — African-Americans in particular — that is typically instigated

or sanctioned by government. Underlying it is the false notion that race provides a justification for treating people differently. But race is a social construct. All humans are 99 percent genetically identical. Racism is a concept created to advantage whites and disadvantage Blacks.

If Jackson becomes the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, we should celebrate that longoverdue milestone and her extraordinary credentials.

But we should not fall victim to the idea that she is the exception, a rare talent who had the unique credentials to break the glass ceiling. The list of potential nominees previously released by the White House showed that there are numerous Black women qualified to serve on the court.

As we prepare to celebrate this milestone, we should also commit to three more actions. First, we should increase the number of federal judges who are Black women. According to the Pew Research Center, “Only 70 of the 3,843 people who have ever served as federal judges in the United States — fewer than 2% — have been Black women.” That under-representation on the federal bench restricts the talent pool for future justices with

e can't fall victim to the idea that Ketanji Brown Jackson is the exception.

We must reduce plastic waste To the Editor: The State Legislature is working on extended producer responsibility, or EPR, policy to address our serious plastic waste crisis. This type of legislation can hold producers responsible for what ultimately happens to the packaging they use to contain their products, with the goal of reducing waste and moving us to more easily recyclable materials.

It is crucial that Albany gets it right. The petroleum, gas and chemical industries, the makers of plastic ingredients, as well as producers and packaging manufacturers, know this type of legislation is inevitable, but they don’t want it to cut into their profits. Right now, these groups are winning against groups that have only the environment at heart. But, producers shouldn’t be running the show and setting their own targets, and they shouldn’t be part of an advisory board, setting the rules and holding more power than environmental and consumer groups.

We need a bill that includes independent oversight, defined and substantive targets, investment in reuse/ refill/recycle infrastructure, bans on toxins in plastics and bans on any burning of plastic waste. Hopefully New Yorkers will get the bill they need and deserve.

attractive legal credentials.

Second, we should address the role that structural racism continues to play in the segregation of public schools and the insufficient funding of schools in neighborhoods educating most Black students.

The result is that millions of Black girls — including those with the potential to serve on the Supreme Court — are deprived of their rightful opportunities to succeed, and our nation is deprived of the added wisdom they can bring from their life experiences to the role of Supreme Court justice.

Third, we should never forget the exciting and inspiring impact that having a Black woman on the Supreme Court can have on Black girls — and Black women of all ages. As a civil rights leader for more than 20 years and a Black woman, I can attest to how exciting and inspiring it is to see Black women take on new historic roles — Michelle Obama as first lady and Kamala Harris as vice president, to mention just two. The prospect of a Black woman on the Supreme Court is similarly invigorating — even after 246 years.

Yet I can’t help but think about the countless Black women and girls who have been told — and continue to be told — not to set their sights so high.
