Hewlett High robotics team aims to be world champion

RoboBoogie prepares to compete in Houston By STEVEN KEEHNER nassauedior@liherald.com

On Fridays, when the last bell sounds at 2:56 p.m., most Hewlett High School students celebrate the end of the school week. Members of the school’s Robotics Club, however, know that their day is far from over. Club members first make space in a science classroom, and then they unload their equipment. By 3:15, Room 234 has been transformed

into a robotics laboratory. For the next six hours, roughly 60 students will be busy here, and in the adjacent hallway. “These kids basically do an 11th class, but they do it all on Friday night,” said Janine Torresson, the Robotics Club coach. “They put in more hours than if they took an engineering class, and they do it on their own time.” Torresson, the Discovery program teacher at Hewlett Elementary School, oversees three Continued on page 14

Sanitary districts aim to clean up the trash

NASSAU HERALD — April 7, 2022

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

Atlantic Beach Estates, East Atlantic Beach and Water Club residents want their trash and recyclables picked up on a regular basis. Sanitary District 14 that is responsible for refuse pick up in the communities wants to satisfy their customers. Sanitary District 1 is going to help. A year-long agreement between the sanitary districts that went into effect on Monday aims to fuse those goals into action. Roughly 50 residents from those communities gathering in the party room of the Ocean Club in Atlantic Beach on March 30 to hear the S.D. 14 board led by Commissioner Ed Uehlinger and S.D. 1 Superintendent George Pappas discuss the plan. Since May of last year service has not be up to the standards resident expect Uehlinger said. “One of our drivers came to me, handed me the keys and said, ‘Here are the keys to the truck I can get more money from Biden,’ and walked off the job that morning, “ Uehlinger said. “Money from Biden,” refers to the federal safety net money that was available because of the Covid pandemic. Noting that trucking is one several industries that has been severely impacted during the pandemic, Uehlinger said only two people applied for the job to drive the trucks and their driving records made them ineligible to be hired. After considering the options he said the intermunicipal agreement was “the way to go.” Discussions began in September and the deal was finalized in March. Pappas said one truck with the same three people will pick up trash every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Every Tuesday the recyclables and every Thursday for a

Residents were skeptical of only hav-

ing one truck for the three communities. Uehlinger explained that S.D. 14 had to trek 16 miles to Merrick to unload one of its two trucks. Now the truck only has to drive 3.5 miles to Lawrence. S.D. 1 will then transfer a tractor trailer full of refuse to Merrick once a month. “The whole process is streamlined and it is increasing services,” said Jim Vilardi, a S.D. 1 commissioner. Many community members including East Atlantic Beach resident Cammy (she declined to give her first name) remained dubious of the new service. “I’ll be optimistic and hope it works out,” she said, “We’ll see where we are after a year.”

New Grant Park playground is coming By liSA MARGARiA lmargaria@liherald.com

The Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association is working with the Nassau County Parks Department to fix up the ‘old playground’ at Grant Park — a long-overdue project. Demolition of the existing playground began last week. “We have been informed that the old playground that is in really bad shape, at Grant Park, is being replaced,” HWBA President David Friedman said. Grant Park, at 1625 Broadway, went through a $2.7 million renovation in 2012. Three synthetic-turf fields and a batting cage with a turf surface were installed, and two of three playgrounds at the park were replaced by the Parks Department. The third, unrenovated playground area for children 4 to 8, described by Friedman as “broken down,” has been the subject of man complaints from community members as it remained untouched by the Parks Department. In January 2020, the playground was scheduled for a $500,000 overhaul, which former Parks Department Commissioner Eileen Krieb told the Herald should be upgraded by that year’s spring. The playground was never overhauled in 2020 most likely because of the coronavirus pandemic. The Parks Department has begun the main playground improvement project last week, demolishing the old playground near the Kelly Tinyes’ memorial. “We were told that the equipment is on its way in, and the Parks Department says that the old playground will be replaced by Memorial Day.” Friedman said. The playground fix-up will be fully funded by the Parks Department. “We’re improving our parks!,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman posted on Facebook on March 31. “I was recently on-site at Grant Park in Hewlett, New York to review plans for a new playground. Get ready, great changes

Many longstanding maintenance requests are being addressed with the current and upcoming efforts to fix the park, including Hewlett resident Christine Lahey’s request. “There needs to be better lighting around the park,” Lahey recommended in 2020.

Despite the huge investment in the park in 2012, residents are still disappointed with the current state of the ball fields and batting cages, which are littered with garbage. “There are no trash cans anywhere in sight,” Jennifer Marie wrote in the Hewlett-Woodmere District 14 Facebook group on March 28. “The batting cage nets are destroyed and falling apart. The equipment is all damaged.” In response to the mess on the ball fields, the Parks Department cleaned the whole batting cage area and fields last week Friedman said. “We’re very happy that we’re finally making progress. I keep telling people: persistence pays off!”

Science and art blended together as the students designed their kites with the school’s art department bringing together STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art and

Queens man charged with multiple Five Towns thefts of vehicles and equipment

NASSAU HERALD — April 7, 2022

From Feb. 5 to March 22, four businesses and one government department were either allegedly robbed or burglarized by a Queens man who was arrested by Nassau County police on April 4.

Rockville Centre’s largest educational institution will soon have a new name. Molloy College has officially earned university status from the New York State Board of Regents, allowing the Dominican institution to adopt the Molloy University moniker beginning June 1. It’s the culmination of work university officials have conducted for more than a decade. Founded in 1955 by the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville, Molloy is known for its strong nursing program that has been especially important during the coronavirus pandemic. Molloy is a private institution with roughly 3,500 undergraduate and 1,500 graduate students. College president James Lentini unveiled a new logo for Molloy last week, which keeps the school’s burgundy lion mascot, but is now enclosed by an offwhite “M” and “U.” This is essentially full circle for Lentini, who said university status was discussed even when he interviewed for his job back in 2019. “Some of the regents finally softened,” Lentini told the Herald. “I’m probably lucky with my timing a little bit, but I was involved in lobbying pretty hard with our regents.” Both Lentini and predecessor Drew Bogner — who retired in June 2020 after 20 years in the position — worked with 10th Judicial District Regent Roger Tilles to change some of the language the

old definition hurt the competitiveness of New York schools not just with other states but internationally. Bogner recounted a number of times prospective students would be surprised Molloy offered graduate and doctoral programs, while still being called a college. The name might be changing, but Lentini believes Molloy’s character will remain. Right now, there are no announced plans for the school to expand its current campus, at least when it comes to existing Rockville Centre real estate. Still, becoming Molloy University is something Jeff Greenfield — a longtime Rockville Centre resident and a 19-year member of the college’s board of trustees —believes will add value to the degrees of past, present and future students. “It’s very gratifying to see the mission of the sisters who founded the college fulfilled,” Greenfield said, by upgrading Molloy’s status to a university. But Molloy’s work isn’t over, Lentini said. Far from it. The next goal for the soon-to-be university is to tailor its nursing programs to the needs of partners like Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside and Catholic Health, which runs Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre. “If we have (programs), we’re trying to make them more robust,” Lentini said. “If we don’t have them, we’re going to be developing those. “We’ve been a college. Now I want us to think like a university.”

Hofstra lacrosse seeks a little CAA success By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

After defeating Fairfield to close the regular season last year on a Friday night, the Hofstra men’s lacrosse team gathered in Margiotta Hall the following afternoon to await its postseason fate needing a Towson loss to Drexel in order to reach the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) tournament. With hopes looking bleak when Towson led by four goals late in the third quarter, Hofstra’s seniors suddenly learned their careers were in fact not over yet when Drexel stormed back for a 12-11 win. The Pride then took advantage of the surprise CAA tournament appearance with a semifinal upset of top-seeded Delaware before falling in the conference finals to that same Drexel team that resurrected its season a week earlier. “You live and die by every goal and you start to become a fan rather than a coach because your future is out of your hands,” said 16th-year Hofstra head coach Seth Tierney of the scene watching Drexel-Towson. “It was an array of emotions.” Tierney hopes this year the Pride will be able to wrap up one of the four available CAA tourney spots on the field and not have to rely on external help. Hofstra opened the CAA schedule with a 12-10 defeat at Fairfield last Saturday. The CAA schedule gives Hofstra a fresh start after an up and down non-conference season where the Pride battled a number of injuries. The Pride entered CAA play with a 10-9 overtime loss at Providence College where sophomore attackman Gerard Kane tallied five assists, graduate student midfielder James Philbin scored a hat-trick and red-shirt freshman Rory Jones registered four points. The 6-2 Kane, an Ohio State transfer, has emerged as Hofstra’s leading scorer with 17 goals and 11 assists. Seniors Matt Elder and Dylan McIntosh are also offensive threats. Junior goalie Mac Gates, a San Francisco native, has stepped up in net to anchor the defense in front of starting defensemen Tom Ford, Tim Hegarty and Bryan McIntosh. Gates recorded 17 saves in a 8-6 loss at Villanova on March 5. Following a road game at Delaware this Saturday, Hofstra hosts Drexel in its CAA home opener on April 16 at 3 p.m.

Pride women off breakout year The Hofstra women’s lacrosse team had a breakthrough season in 2021 with the program’s first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2007. The Pride graduated all-time leading Hofstra scorer Alyssa Parella, but returns plenty of talent from last

year’s team that earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament with a 6-6 record after facing one of the toughest schedules in the country. Hofstra then nearly pulled off its first NCAA Tourney win in school history before falling to ninth-ranked Loyola 11-9 in a game where Long Beach native Katie Whelan shined with four points. “It showed how resilient our team was last year to get big wins and find ourselves in the NCAA Tournament,” Smith said. “It was an incredible experience and it makes our team motivated to get back there.” Whelan, a graduate student, has emerged as a leader of the offense at attack in her final season of college lacrosse. The former Long Beach High School standout leads Hofstra in both goals and assists and tallied seven points in a 12-9 loss to Vanderbilt on March 20. Junior midfielder Taylor Mennella has also emerged as an offensive threat with a four-goal performance in a 16-9 win at Marist on March 11. Graduate student mid-

fielder Arrianna Esposito,senior attacker Erin Demek and sophomore midfielder Kerry Walser are also stepping up as scoring options. The Hofstra defense has been a big strength this season led by senior goalie Jess Smith, who tallied 14 saves in a 15-11 loss to 22nd-ranked UConn on March 26. The close features senior Wantagh High School product Anna Kaufmann, Kendall Smith, Brynn Hepting and Shannon Boyle, who was an All-CAA second team selection last year. Hofstra went 6-4 in non-conference play, which included a competitive game with local rival and then sixthranked Stony Brook before falling 12-6 on March 18. The Pride began the CAA schedule with a 17-12 loss to 12thranked James Madison last Saturday. Demek had three points. After an April 13 game at Drexel, Hofstra hosts Towson on April 16 at noon.

HWBA to help clean up

NASSAU HERALD — April 7, 2022

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

The Hewlett-Woodmere Business Association has put together a Beautification Committee, made up of six core members who have volunteered to perform clean-up and improvement projects in the area. Emerging from the pandemic, the Hewlett Woodmere Business Association re-staffed its Beautification Committee, adding six new members. Many of the members have ties to the PTA, which could give school children opportunities to volunteer. “I am pleased to advise we have a new committee,” HWBA President David Friedman posted on Facebook, “thanks to Rozana Zemlyansky, Sara Feldman, Tara Woltman, Meredith King, Pinella Kogan Tajcher, thanks to Shana Terlinksy Milillo for helping us organize the new committee.” Milillo, a Hewlett resident, learned about the committee through another parent. “I decided to join because I am all for the betterment of our community,” Milillo wrote in a direct message. Explaining the committee’s goals, Milillo said, “We are hoping to make the neighborhood look beautiful by adding flowers down Broadway and looking into seeing if lights are possible during the holiday season. We are also looking into cleaning up the Triangle on Broadway and would like to see how we can pay more tribute to the veterans.”

The hewLeTT-woodMeRe BuSIneSS Association’s new Beautification Committee aims to keep the communities attractive by planting flowers and maintaining areas such as the Veterans Triangle in Hewlett, above. Tajcher, also a Hewlett resident, often gets involved in the community and, when she originally heard about the committee through a friend, decided to hop on board and volunteer. “I try to help out wherever I can, whenever I have free time. But I also really like gardening,” she said. As a real estate agent, Tajcher said that beautifying the community could help businesses. “Aesthetically, when an area or a downtown looks appealing to people,” she said, “it definitely draws more people and more foot traffic in, and it’s good for the businesses.”

The new MargareT O. Carpenter Women’s Health Center opened March 31. The goal is to make women’s health care in the Rockaways more accessible.

Health center named for 5T resident continued from front page attended last week’s festivities, where Walsh and others honored her with a plaque recognizing her “decades of unwavering support, dedicated service, devotion and commitment to Episcopal Health Services Inc., and the Rockaway community.” Guests filled an outdoor tent in the health center’s parking lot, finding balloons and goody bags. The Right Rev. Bishop Lawrence Provenzano — the

hospital board chair — opened the festivities with prayer before a dozen others spoke about Carpenter. “I am deeply grateful and completely humbled by” the naming in tribute, Carpenter said. “This is a great day for all the women on this peninsula, for they finally have access to state-of-the-art health services.” Those services include new equipment like a 3-D mammography machine that aids in more successful breast can-

cer detection. There’s also a bone density machine to help in diagnosing osteoporosis conditions, and an ultrasound that produces high-resolution images. A $3.1 million grant from the state’s health department funded the center’s design and construction, and paid for the equipment. “The lack of adequate health care facilities in the Rockaways often forces women to travel miles and miles away from their homes in order to get the

medical care they need — if they get care at all,” Queens borough president Donovan Richards Jr. said. “That is because many women in the Rockaways ultimately have to go without critical care because getting to a health care facility is just too time-consuming and expensive. “Access to quality health care shouldn’t be a luxury for some,” he added. “It should be a human right for all.”

The Premiere HERALD 2022 Excellence in Healthcare Awards will recognize and honor deserving individuals, institutions, facilities and healthcare groups whose dedication and commitment have made a difference in the health and well-being of others.

But this week was filled-up to the gills by friends and family and other thrills.

Are they good? Are they bad? Heaven knows how I try to solicit reactions, but I get no reply. Sure, Zoey and Janet and Simon critique, but to hear from my public would enhance my mystique.

Unreserved Judgment

So here I am with my deadline due, With nothing prepared to offer you.

I would publish your letters and take your advice, though now that I think of it, perhaps I’ll think twice.

With nothing to write and nothing to share, If I skipped this week, would anyone care? It’s not like it’s gospel or that the world really needs it. Perhaps now’s the time to ask just who reads it.

You wont’ hurt my feelings if you tell me I stink. I want your opinion, to learn what you think.

Ron Goldman

It’s no shining light you can watch as it’s glistening. It’s more like talking in space, unsure anyone’s listening. Each week there’s a column, with a thought and a yack. I write’em and send ‘em, but none write back.

’Cause why look for trouble? Who knows what I’ll find? So ignore this week’s column and never you mind.

Hewlett robotics team headed to world championship continued from front page teams: Bionica, Innovo and RoboBoogie. Hewlett High physics teacher Matthew Schildknecht is the club’s programming coach. RoboBoogie, the club’s oldest team, won the FTC FIRST Long Island regional championship’s first-place Inspire Award last month. The team will compete in the FTC FIRST World Robotics competition in Houston April 19-23. FIRST — For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology — is a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring young people to study science and technology. Robotics’ construction and practice season begins in the fall. Winter is the qualification season, when the state and regional finals take place, in anticipation of April’s world championships. The reality of their triumphant journey still surprises RoboBoogie team members. “We were joking about winning, like, ‘Oh yeah, we’re going to Texas,’ and I’m not even kidding,” junior co-captain Addison Star said. “I couldn’t believe it. I was expecting Ms. T to get a call saying something like, ‘Oops, sorry, wrong team.’” Work begins in September. The team raised money, reached out to the STEM-oriented businesses for mentors and designed an industrial-sized robot to take on specified tasks while following detailed restrictions. Qualifier competitions take place in January and February. The regionals are in March. The squad’s other co-captain, senior Alice Fried, explained how the team planned more than usual before settling on an idea this year. “That first idea usually isn’t the one that we end with,” she said. “We have many renditions — this is like the third or fourth one.” Last year’s team could not compete because of the coronavirus pandemic. As a result, team members have

given it their all this year, with every member of the RoboBoogie crew pitching in on construction, programming, designing and outreach. Outreach encompasses everything from seeking local sponsors to conducting workshops for elementary school students. Lily Cohen, a junior and the club’s business and outreach manager, stressed that the community aspect of its work is crucial. “We want to get the kids of the community excited just the way many people here were when they were younger,” Cohen said. Now, as the team prepares to travel to Texas later this month, members are grateful. The rest of the school, according to Star, is taking notice as well. “If you compare us winning this to any other sports team in our school,” she said, “we are higher than any other sports

team before.” Nonetheless, their purpose remains the same: gracious professionalism. That is one of the values FIRST promotes among robotics competitors, and RoboBoogie members have taken it to heart. “It’s good to recognize that you’re competing,” Ethan Abelev, a junior and a team engineer, said. “But the goal here is to ultimately grow together as an engineering, coding and outreach community.” Torresson, who is in her sixth year as a coach, said it is rewarding to see her students not only apply what they have learned in class to their work, but also to discover a passion. “I don’t even have the right word to describe how it feels to be a part of their journey,” she said. “‘Amazing’ is the only word I can think of.”

Does psychotherapy really work? This was Brandon’s response when his wife suggested psychotherapy for his moodiness. His response was based on an outdated medical model of “normal” behavior. Something’s wrong with you. You’re sick or crazy! Therapy will fix you and tell you how to live your life differently. “I no longer date any guy who hasn’t been in therapy,” proclaimed Julie. “Those guys don’t respect stuff that affects our relationship - like communicating well, respecting my emotions, keeping anger under control, and discussing differences rather than manipulating or ignoring how I feel.” Julie’s view of psychotherapy is based on an educational model. Therapy expands your emotional awareness, h e l p s yo u k n ow yo u r s e l f b e t t e r, increases your self-esteem, enhances your relationship skills, and opens up your mind and heart to new possibilities. Despite the insurance industry’s jargon of medical necessity, most modern psychotherapy is based on the educational model. Therapy provides a supportive and non-judgmental environ-

ment where you can safely explore and learn about your feelings, thoughts, and behavior. With a professionally trained mentoring therapist, you learn how to: ■ Reduce the stress in your life

become more complex. This doesn’t mean something’s wrong with you. It doesn’t mean you’re sick, weak or crazy. It just means you’ve encountered unfamiliar territory and feel confused, overwhelmed, frustrated or just plain exhausted. Psycholo gists do not shove answers down your throat or tell you what to think! In the process of psychotherapy, you come to understand yourself and others better. How does a psychologist make that happen? Is she a genius? A mind reader? Certainly not! P s ych o t h e r apy i s a n apadin active process of work, collaboration and search, similar to:

But why would someone need assistance in these areas? Don’t they develop naturally as you grow up? Yes, somewhat. Still, there’ll be times in our lives when we’ll feel stuck, despite our best efforts. We may have difficulty letting go of old self-defeating patterns ,(OMG! I sound just like my mother)! Or, we may be frustrated trying to deal with a difficult relationship or accept a life transition. Or, living has

touches the soul. You don’t need to be sick, broken, or ill to seek help from a psychologist. After all, living is often stressful. Choices can be confusing. Relationships may be strained. Work could be burdensome. Covid has been nervewracking. World events are worrying. Even if you’re not cur rently feeling overwhelmed, you might still decide to treat yourself to a few psychotherapy sessions to position yourself well for future challenges and opportunities. It’s freeing to know that we all have difficulties to deal with in our complicated lives. In no way does this mean you’re crazy, sick or something’s wrong with you. If therapy can provide you with awareness, understanding, support, and insight to guide you through life’s challenges, what exactly is there not to like? ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

On Saturday there were peer-peer workshops and a Saturday night social. “Attending the Birthright Israel Excel Summit this weekend is something I was really looking forward to,” Lawrence resident Arye Lifshitz stated in an email. “Having the opportunity to spend a weekend with Excel Fellows hearing from influential business leaders and activities was highly impactful and energizing. I’m so grateful for this unique opportunity.” Erin Schrode, an activist, social entre-

preneur and Congressional candidate, and David Blitzer, global head of Blackstone’s Tactical Opportunities Group, spoke on Sunday. Schrode, 30, ran for a California House seat in 2016. Her organization Turning Green propels her nonprofit Conscious Kitchen to serve more than 19 million organic nutritious meals to students and vulnerable populations in her home state. Blitzer, 52, is also the founder and managing general partner of Harris Blitzer Sports & Entertainment and managing

partner of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils. “To match our Fellows’ varied interests, the speakers will each be presenting a different key perspective, from the Israeli lens to social activism to the cutting edge of business innovation,” Idit Rubin, Birthright Excel’s executive director said in a news release. “Our community is diverse in its interests, but united in its joint commitment to success, growth and giving back.”

More than 300 Birthright Israel Excel Fellows from North America and around the world, including several Long Islanders gathered for the Excelerate22 Summit, the first in-person Birthright Israel Excel summit since 2019. Birthright Israel Excel is considered a prestigious business fellowship that offer as summer internship, then membership in a community of peers that focuses on engagement with Israel, personal growth, philanthropy and professional development. The internships typically lead to positions at what are called top-tier companies such as Bain & Company, Google and J. P Morgan Chase, where they develop strategic partnerships with companies in Israel, start their own businesses and more often than not hire other Fellows. “It is a great honor for me to take part in the Birthright Excel Summit in NYC,” Oceanside resident Andrew Carlins wrote in an email. “I am super excited for the opportunity to meet and connect with other Excel alumni there from all the world.” Among the participants were nearly 30 Fellows from Argentina, Africa, Israel, Mexico and the United Kingdom.

RECRUITING A GREAT TEAM IS REALLY SIMPLE.

Your inspector is looking out for you

Cedarhurst

This Home Will Be Your Perfect Match

April 7, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Q. I recently got a “framing” inspection for carpentry. The inspector asked me to get all electrical wiring and plumbing pipes in before he would look at the way the wood framing was done. Then he rejected the work because of the way the beams and columns went into the walls. We had steel beams put in so we could remove all the inside walls and open the kitchen up to the living and dining rooms. It’s now one big open space. The carpenters cut the wall tops and bottoms so the beam and column could go in. Is there a way to fix this, and why is it so important? The inspector said the architect would need to write a letter explaining the fix.

our search for a home is over! Nestled away on a cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Cedarhurst neighborhood, this lovely home has been completely renovated with today's most sought-after features. From the open concept kitchen, which boasts a large granite island with built in burners and 2 separate sinks, to the inviting living room centered by a wood-burning fireplace and built-in shelving you'll love. For a private tour please contact V.I.Properties team at Compass 516-791-1313

A. Your inspector is looking out for you. He didn’t accept the work because the interior walls that were removed had an important role to play in holding your house together. Now that there are no walls running at right angles to the outside wall, the strength of the exterior walls has been reduced, enough so they can waiver in a high wind onte eeper and compromise the home. In other words, the long, unbraced wall can collapse in a heavy storm. From flying in a plane, you may have heard of wind shear. It’s caused by pulsing crosswinds that work like a giant hammer, pounding directly at the wall’s surface, like pounding a big drum face, and is referred to as positive pressure. The wall is also brushed by winds that run parallel to its surface, which causes a suction known as negative pressure. Together, the pulsing is tugging at the wall and pushing it, causing opposite reactions that, if the wall isn’t properly braced, can make it come apart and wrench away from the rest of the building. By cutting the continuous top and bottom wall “plates” that run around the whole structure, the wall is no longer attached at these points. That’s one reason why windows and doors receive extra support around the openings. The “weakest links” are the places where the connection has been severed or removed altogether, as when steel beams and columns are inserted into the wall and the wood has been cut away. Some argue that the steel beam and column actually brace the structure, but only if they are attached to the surrounding dissimilar wood. In most cases, when an inspection is done, the lack of understanding of the wind shear process is revealed, and hopefully it is discovered before a disaster and not after. This can be repaired by making the wood walls connect again, using steel sheets, steel strapping or plywood that bridges the wall studs on either side of the steel column and beam. The plywood will stick out if the wall is only as thin as the column, but with large wall studs, the plywood can be recessed to be even with the rest of the carpentry.

hether you knew it or not, there are many types of football games. According to Wikipedia, the roster includes Jorkyball, cycle-ball, football tennis, blind football, power chair football, rugby, traditional American football and my favorite, political football. While most of the others (except the gridiron variety) need an explanation, almost everybody knows what a political football is. And one of the best examples is the price of gasoline. JERRY Regardless of the party in power, KREMER gas prices are used regularly as a line of attack on the incumbent leader of the country. Over the past 40-plus years, Presidents Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Biden have been the targets of public anger over the price of gasoline. And in most of those instances, the attack on the White House has been nothing more than a cheap shot for political gain.

One of the major causes of sharp hikes in gas prices is wars or political upheaval on far-away continents. In 1973, the ArabIsraeli war caused prices at the pump to skyrocket. That was followed by the IranIraq War, which started in 1980. In the 1990s, the Persian Gulf War made motorists go crazy when the price per gallon spiked. While Saudi Arabia pretends to be our good friend and is always seeking more jets and defensive weapons, the Saudis periodically decide to cut back on oil production, which hits American drivers in the wallets and pocketbooks. Another enemy of the gasoline consumer is Mother Nature. Drivers in New York may pay little attention to disasters or climate-related events in Louisiana or Texas, but an explosion at an offshore oil rig, or a major hurricane, can cause longterm disruption of gas prices. I’ve always wondered why, within minutes after a hurricane slams into one of those key Southern states, the stations around here up their prices. That anticipatory action isn’t due to a shortage; it’s just an example of greed.

For as long as I can remember, the price of gas has gone up and down during the spring and winter seasons, respectively. The jump in price as the weather warms is actually the result of the industry practice of changing the grade of the fuel to adjust to the climate. Summer gasoline costs more to produce, because it’s a special blend that is less polluting and can adapt to the heat. Even though this has been going on for the past 30 years, there are always politicians somewhere waiting to jump on their opponents to cast partisan blame. Another reason for the summer jump in prices is that around April, most oil companies shut down their facilities for maintenance, and are slow to prepare their production for the increased demand from vacationers starting in June. If you’re looking for someone else to blame for the summer rise in the price per gallon, it’s you, me, your neighbors and countless other Americans. Most of us start taking time off in June and many of us take driving vacations, and that trend continues right through Labor Day.

o matter who's in power, the other side will blame them for the high cost of gas.

The extra gas we guzzle puts enormous pressure on refineries, and up go our costs. Over a recent Saturday-night dinner, a few of my friends started complaining about the price of gasoline, and were quick to blame it on President Biden. Because he sits in the Oval Office, he’s the natural target for fuel-cost outrage. But many people forget the fact that the coronavirus pandemic caused a sharp cutback in production, and when the public decided that it was time to get out and start driving again, there wasn’t enough gasoline to meet that sudden burst of demand. That was another open invitation for the refineries to dramatically raise their prices. As we’re seeing, virtually every basic commodity, from corn flakes to car tires, is becoming more costly, but the easiest target for a politician seeking to get a few headlines is the price of gas. There’s no more popular political football, but it’s tossed around for all the wrong reasons. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Facts, fiction and when to fish for shad

’m afraid if you didn’t cut your hair in March, potty train your 2-year-old, castrate your farm animals, quit smoking or get married, you probably missed the optimal moment for such events. That is according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, which suggests auspicious dates for various activities, based on the phases of the moon and the alignment of the stars. The almanac, launched in 1792, is now my go-to reliable source of information, meteorological predicRANDI tion and general good-natured kibKREISS itzing. I used to read newspapers and watch TV news, but the OFA claims to be 80 percent accurate, and that’s good enough for me. I’m going with the annual pamphlet that tells me when to plant my tomatoes, based on the tides. If you’ve never read the Almanac, it is now available on Kindle, and as an act of personal devotion to readers, I purchased my own copy for $5.39 so I could write this tribute to a publication that has informed and amused folks for 230 years. It made my day — no, it made my month to read a compilation of anecdotes, folklore, science, magical thinking, histo-

ry, recipes, weather forecasts, farming information, ephemera, origins of month names, friggatriskaidekaphobia trivia (that’s the fear of Friday the 13th), animal signs of the Chinese zodiac and a windfall of homey, heart-warming, salt-of-theearth stories about good people doing kind things. The almanac offers a total, feel-good, not-amoment-too-soon distraction. According to the OFA, this month we will have a Full Pink Moon, which heralds the blossoming of wild ground phlox, one of the first spring flowers. It is also known as the Moon when the Geese Lay Eggs, for obvious reasons. The Almanac offers random factoids:

If you want to know how much paint you need for a room, or how much wallpaper, or when to go fishing for shad, check out the OFA. One section offers famous last words: “Is it The Fourth?” Thomas Jefferson, our third president and the author of the Declaration of Independence, who died on July 4, 1826. “How were receipts today at Madison Square Garden?” P.T. Barnum, April 7, 1891. “Get my swan costume ready.” Anna Pavlova, Russian ballerina, Jan. 23, 1931. “Is it not meningitis?” Louisa M. Alcott, March 6, 1888. The OFA does not limit its predictions to the weather or farming. It sees in our future fake leather clothing and shoes made from mushroom roots, jeans recycled for housing insulation and shoes made from soda bottles. In the dead-and-stuffed department, I learned that Comanche, a horse belonging to an officer killed at Little Bighorn in 1876, was given a full funeral, with military honors, in 1890, and then sent to the University of Kansas to be stuffed. He can be seen there today. Also, Owney the terrier, an official U.S. Mail dog, was stuffed and displayed at the 1904 World’s Fair. We all know Trigger trotted down the same path, but did you know that Vladi-

ant to know what's really important? It's in the Farmer's Almanac.

■ Safe ice thickness for a single person on foot is 3 inches. For an 8-ton truck, it’s 12 inches. ■ The first hurricane of 2022 will be Alex. ■ A fear of toads is bufonophobia; a fear of bees is melissophobia. ■ Playing golf burns the same number of calories per minute per pound of body weight as shoveling grain. ■ You can keep beef in the freezer for six to 12 months, but frankfurters? One to two months.

mir Lenin, who died in 1923, lies somewhat embalmed in a glass tomb in Moscow’s Red Square? Scientists continue the effort to halt the deterioration of his body. Those wacky Russians. Have you seen the signs of spring? According to the almanac, worms begin to emerge from the ground. Indeed, the March moon was the Full Worm Moon. Since ancient times, people have used flora as indicators of when the time is right to plant. For example, when the crocus blooms, it’s the cue to plant radishes, parsnips and spinach. A point of information: Some forwardthinking farmers and ranchers are inviting volunteers to do farm chores for increased fitness. (Sounds like a Tom Sawyer scam to me.) A new thing: mobile grocery stores in trucks that visit numerous neighborhoods. People shop inside the van, which then goes back to restock and then moves on. According to the OFA, pets will soon wear devices that allow them to interface with their veterinarians. Realtors will sell houses with pets included. I recommend the Old Farmer’s Almanac for its forecasts and arcane information and down-home good humor. It is uplifting and entertaining, fascinating and funny. It was the best $5.39 I’ve spent in some time. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Election season is sooner than you think

any voters may believe election season gets under way in early fall and ends on Election Day in November. That’s the way it might have been with secretive behind-the-scenes maneuvering and fundraising mainly done at gatherings for political party insiders. But with the advent of digital marketing, email blasts, social media platforms and texting, there is a constant barrage of electioneering done year-round. And now there is also early voting. With primary elections now in June instead of September, election season sneaks up on the unsuspecting electorate like an early-summer rainstorm. This year’s primary is June 28, when many will have just finished with high school graduations and may be planning their summer vacations. In other words, election season is closer than you realize. To whet voters’ appetites in what is considered an off-year election season — because there is no presidential race — candidates have been busy. Like Gov. Kathy Hochul. The former lieutenant governor became New York’s chief executive last August after Andrew Cuomo resigned, and became the de facto leader of the state’s Democratic Party. However, she faces an internal challenge from U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, whose congressional district, as it is currently configured, includes parts of Nassau County. And there are eight candidates, from both sides of the aisle, vying to replace Suozzi in the House of Representatives — a field that widened after redistricting stretched his congressional coverage area through the eastern edges of Queens, the Bronx and Westchester County. (A recent

You can also reach out to the League of Women Voters of Nassau County, at (516) 431-1628, or visit LWVOfNassauCounty.org. court decision in Steuben County has questioned the Democratically drawn redistricting plan, so the race remains in limbo at the moment.) On successive days in February, U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice and State Sen. Todd Kaminsky — both Democrats — announced that they would not seek reelection. Five Democrats are running to replace Rice, while Republicans have coalesced around a single candidate. There are two candidates running for Kaminsky’s seat. Even as you read this, there was a special election on Thursday, after the Herald went to press, that included early voting that started March 28. Ari Brown and David Lobl, both from Cedarhurst, sought to succeed Melissa “Missy” Miller in the State Assembly. Miller’s district covers 11 communities and parts of another in southwest Nassau. There will be another election for the same seat later this year. What does all this mean to you, the average voter, and likely not a political insider? It translates into a much busierthan-expected election cycle in which impactful decisions are being made. Voters need to pay attention, and register to vote. You use your voice by casting a ballot for the candidate of your choice.

letters What happens locally happens globally To the Editor: After reading the article “Lynbrook, East Rockaway residents aghast at growing gas prices” in the March 17-23 issue of the Lynbrook-East Rockaway Herald, I felt compelled to respond. While Long Islanders are definitely feeling the effects of recent global events, I would like to bring attention to the fact that countries around the world are dealing with a lot more than soaring gas prices. While our national average price per gallon is over $4 per gallon, according to FINCA, a nonprofit microfinancing organization, “over 1 billion people live on $2.50 per day or less, including 280 million people in extreme poverty who live on less

June 18-26 ■ Early voting

June 28 ■ Primary day, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. ■ Absentee/mail-in voting deadline Don’t allow the opportunity to be wasted. From newspapers to television, there will be plenty of stories on the candidates. Most have their own websites, on which they share what they stand for — and what they stand against. And beginning with the June primary and leading to the general election Nov. 8, you will have every chance to show up at the polls and make your statement by casting a ballot. Every vote matters. And being registered to vote, and marking that ballot, is the one significant way in which you can truly make an impact, whether it be in a primary — which is critical and maybe even decisive — or in the general election. You also can make a statement by doing nothing and simply sitting on the sidelines. If candidates you support win, then no harm, no foul. But if they lose, you have no right to complain.

qualifications to sit on the Supreme Court, the hemming and hawing and rationalizing she displayed in her hearings was somewhat disconcerting. But most disturbing of all was the fact that President Biden made race and gender his primary criteria in selecting his nominee. Reverse discrimination is still discrimination, regardless of whom it benefits. Ironically, if Biden had just limited his criteria to legal experience and competency, Jackson might still have ended up as his choice, but without the bad taste his criteria left in the mouths of many. Even if she is appointed, Jackson will always have the cloud of Biden’s egotism hanging over her head, his insistence on pointing out that, “Hey, it was me who was responsible for the first Black woman on the court!” History would be aware of that without Biden's self-serving pat on the back. Gross raises many legitimate points in her column, but I have to disagree with her implication that Biden’s nomination of a Black woman “brought howls” for other than very legitimate reasons. Yes, “structural racism” has existed, and continues to exist in America, particularly in certain areas, but that is a wrong that has been, and is being, remedied legislatively and in the courts. To imply that only people of color may rightfully address this issue is insulting and racist in itself. ROBERT RUBALSkY East Rockaway
