Students rally over senior trip By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com
Jeffrey Bessen/Herald
lAwRENcE HIGH ScHool seniors Youry Tundidor, left, and Gabrielle Domanas led their classmates as they marched along Cedarhurst Avenue to the high school on Monday.
Chanting slogans such as “The Lawrence board must go,” “We’re bored with the board” and “What do we want? We want our buses,” roughly 30 Lawrence High School students marched from Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park along Cedarhurst Avenue to the high school and up and down Oxford, Albemarle and Arlington roads by the Reilly Avenue campus on Monday. The students were protesting a decision by Superintendent Ann Pedersen that the district would not cover the cost of the coach buses for the traditional senior trip to Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey. Pedersen decided that the Continued on page 9
At first-ever cheer clinic, youngsters learn the basics By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
With the demise of the Inwood Buccaneers Athletic Club several years ago, the communities in the Lawrence School District do not have a youth sports program. In an attempt to plug that hole and build a base for one activity in particular — cheerleading — Lawrence High School’s head cheerleading coach, Robyn Guzman,
and district Athletic Director Brett Kornblum decided to host a free, two-day cheer clinic at the high school for fourththrough eighth-graders. “We’re just trying to rally up all the boys and girls that want to be cheerleaders, and get them to learn basic skills at the primary age level,” Guzman said, “so that when they come to the high school, they’re a little bit more well equipped.” Though Lawrence High does not have
a competitive cheer team, successful clinics could help change the trajectory of its cheer program. “I think it would be really cool to see how the cheer program progresses after we leave,” said varsity cheerleader Chiara Mingolla, a senior. At the first clinic on Monday, nearly 20 children learned the basics of cheerleading. Mingolla, another senior, Xiomoura Hernandez, and junior Dagoberto Galda-

mez helped Guzman lead the session. Mingolla has been cheerleading for two years, and got involved with the Buccaneers when she was just 6. She became familiar with the sport there, and wanted to keep cheering. Trying team sports at a young age helps guide children to the activities they like, Mingolla and Galdamez explained, which is why the clinic is so important. Continued on page 10

Memorial Day parades on May 29 and 30 lmargaria@liherald.com
The Five Towns will be graced by three Memorial Day parades to honor all U.S. military personnel who lost their lives in service of the country. Memorial day, though traditionally observed on May 30, is now observed on the last Monday in May. Many people across the U.S. are off from work for the federal holiday. The villages of Lawrence and Cedarhurst will have a conjoined celebration beginning at 10 a.m. on Sunday May 29, starting from Frost Lane and Central Avenue in Lawrence. The parade will proceed along Central Avenue to the Cedarhurst Memorial Plaza in Andrew J. Parise Park. The parade began in the early 1900s and has been held for 103 years. This year, the lineup includes the Lawrence-Cedarhurst American Legion Post 339, veterans, Aviation High School’s Air Force Junior Officer Training Corps, firemen and fire trucks from both fire districts, antique and exotic cars, Hatzalah of the Rockaways and Nassau County, Lawrence High School’s marching band, a mariachi band, a stilt walker dressed as Uncle Sam, elected officials, and more. “It will be memorable for all ages, young and old,” Lawrence Trustee Paris Popack wrote in an email, “an event not to be missed!”

thRee MeMoRIAL DAy parades will take place in the Five Towns on May 29 and May 30. Above, the 2019 Lawrence-Cedarhurst parade. Children will have a bike parade where the first 50 kids 5 through 12 who pre-register can ride in the parade with a parent or guardian on their patriotic decorated tricycles, bicycles, scooters, wagons or other motor-less vehicles. “Participating in our parade is an ideal educational opportunity to teach your children and grandchildren about the true meaning of Memorial Day,” Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said in
a release, “to appreciate our American freedoms and acknowledge our fallen soldiers.” “We hope that the streets will be filled with spectators to cheer on the volunteer fire department, the veterans and all marchers to show honor and respect.” Lawrence Mayor Alex Edelman said. A ceremony will follow in Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Park. Inwood’s John J. Olivieri Veterans of
Foreign Wars Post 1582 kicks off its parade at noon by the Inwood LIRR station in Lawrence and march to the Veterans of Foreign Wars monument at the intersection of Mott Avenue and Doughty Boulevard in Inwood. VFW Post 1582 will hold a ceremony by the veteran’s memorial site. “We honor all those who gave the final, ultimate sacrifice,” Post 1582’s Frank Santora said. “It’s a very, very Inwood parade — everybody involved is Inwood. We’re all there for the same reason: we lost about eight members from the Five Towns in the Vietnam War, one from World War II, and it’s very important that we remember them.” On Memorial Day, the Hewlett-Woodmere parade will begin at 9 a.m. from the Woodmere firehouse at 20 Irving Place and move along Broadway to Hewlett High School, where there will be a postparade celebration. Local businesswoman Nicole Eliopoulos is the parade’s grand marshal. To pre-register your child in the Lawrence-Cedarhurst bike parade, call (516) 239-4600 ext. 103, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. For more information about the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Parade, call Cedarhurst Administrative Assistant JoMarie Capone at (516) 295-5770 and visit cedarhurst.gov/ or www.villageoflawrence. org/.
Sheinin, Jeter discuss H-W BOE priorities By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
After the May 17 school election, the face of Hewlett-Woodmere’s Board of Education will be changing slightly with newcomer Chani Jeter winning a seat and incumbent Trustee Debra Sheinin being re-elected as veteran board member Mitchell Greebel steps down. Sheinin and Jeter defeated Sarah Fried, Jack Shafran and Ella Zalkind for the three-year terms. Sheinin, 47, has served since 2018. The New York State School Boards Association’s Board of Excellence and Board Mastery awards recognized her for her efforts. As a district parent for more than a decade, she has held many positions within the PTA and the community. As part of the board, she worked to keep students, staff and district families safe amid Covid. Hewlett-Woodmere was the first district on Long Island to offer three modes of instruction during 2021 and continued using virtual learning this year when needed. The reason the board has been so effective during Sheinin’s tenure is because they work well together, she said, and during her time as board president, “I really make sure that everybody on the board has a fair chance of speaking their mind,” she said. “Everyone has to listen and respect each other, and I think that I set that example of being a leader who listens and

doesn’t always just speak for everybody.” Moving forward she said: “My goal would be to really make Hewlett-Woodmere the best school district, that when people say where they live or went to school, they’re proud to say that.” Sheinin added her priorities, “would be to continue advocating for the students of Hewlett-Woodmere, to continue to hold the district administration accountable for the educational outcomes of the students, to engage the entire community and to be fiscally responsible.” Jeter, 37, has held leadership roles in the PTA in the Hewlett-Woodmere School
District and at the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaways. When Greebel’s seat opened up, “I decided to take my involvement further to have a more substantive impact on the community,” Jeter wrote in an email, “in order to ensure that our programs, academics and overall district stays healthy and strong.” Throughout her campaign, she consistently shared her priorities to advocate for special education, “combined with my ability to share my knowledge of the growing private school community,” she stated. During the next three years, Jeter will focus on “helping create a budget that
Trustee Mitchell Greebel, 59, served for three terms, a total of nine years on the Hewlett-Woodmere Board of Education. He finished his term and moved out of the district this year, leaving an open seat on the board. In 2020, former trustees Paul Critti and Daniella Simon also stepped down and left the district. Five candidates were vying for the two open board seats in the recent at-large election. The two candidates with the highest vote totals — Sheinin and Jeter — won the threeyear terms. The vote for trustee, along with the school budget and other propositions, was on May 17. — Lisa Margaria
keeps in mind the current financial climate,” she wrote, “taking a look at the ongoing curriculum change recommendations, and helping forge a way to better community outreach while trying to find creative ways to combat the recent national public school enrollment decline.” “I want to thank the community for their trust in me,” Jeter wrote. “I will work tirelessly to do right by them and help create a better future for all of us.”

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Annual event — featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels — takes off Saturday, May 28 By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
Alexa Wahl was just 7 when her family began attending the Bethpage Air Show. Standing on Jones Beach and staring at the sky, she would watch the planes soar past quickly and gracefully. It was from that very moment Wahl realized she wanted to be a pilot. Now 23, the Deer Park resident spent time in high school “Googling every possible profession” because she felt becoming a pilot wasn’t possible for her. Nothing excited her quite like flying. So why not? Wahl decided to go for it. With no experience and just a dream, Wahl enrolled in the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College. After four years of learning to fly, she graduated from the program last December. Wahl’s now an instructor at the center — currently the only woman in such a role — mentoring future pilots. Yet, it was Michael Canders who helped her realize her dream. A military pilot for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for more than four decades, Canders is an associate professor and the college’s aviation center director. It was ultimately up to him who the five aviation center pilots would fly in this year’s Bethpage Air Show. One of his top choices? Wahl, of course. “I was so surprised to be asked,” Wahl said. “I worked so hard, and it definitely paid off. But it still feels too good to be true.” Wahl and the other pilots from the center will open the show on Saturday, May
Want to go? The 2022 Bethpage Air Show is set for Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jones Beach is located off Meadowbrook Parkway South. Admission is free, but there is a $10 parking fee charged on-site, but is waived for those with a New York State Parks Empire Pass. This year’s show is headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, For more information, visit BethPageAirShow.com. Courtesy Alexa Wahl
AlExA WAhl, A recent graduate of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College, will fulfill her childhood dream of flying in the Bethpage Air Show. 28 at 10 a.m., as the first group. Wahl will pilot the third plane in the line, flying a PA-28-161, otherwise known as a Piper Warrior 3. It is the same plane she trained with at points in the program, and is classified as “low-wing,” meaning it’s more stable and easier to control, making it better for new pilots to operate. Wahl will join the 44 other pilots from the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College who have flown in the air show. Her mentor, Canders, will narrate the flights at the show and talk about the program for all the viewers to hear.
For some pilots, however, this air show will not be their first rodeo in the sky. Jessy Panzer is a true air show veteran. The Colorado Springs-based pilot was introduced to planes by her father, who worked at Duncan Aviation, a privately owned business jet service provider. He died in an accident when Panzer was just 10. When she is not doing air shows, Panzer works as a corporate private jet pilot. She began flying in air shows back in 2004, and the 43-year-old has since made her way to about 15 shows a year, except

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

continued from front page senior class would be better served overall if the district covered the cost of caps and gowns for graduation. “The senior experience has many expenses that fall outside of the educational mission of the district,” Pedersen wrote in a statement. “This year, I have directed that each senior and their family be relieved of the price for the cap and gown for graduation. The decision was made by myself, not the Board of Education.” The trip to Six Flags typically costs $75 per person, which in previous years covered food, T-shirts and tickets for the amusement park, with bus transportation paid for by the district. This year the same fee will cover T-shirts, tickets and transportation. Students said they decided not to include food in order to avoid raising the $75 fee. In the past they have purchased food at the park. The first senior trip since 2019 is scheduled for June 1. Pedersen told the Herald that the cost of one coach bus is $1,150, and the cost of a cap and gown is $70 per student, or a total of $7,000. The district will spend $5,850 more for caps and gowns than for a bus for the trip. If the seniors needed two buses, the cost would be $2,300, she said, adding that two buses would most likely not be needed. “Every single year it’s tradition to go to Six Flags, and the Board of Education has always funded the trip,” said senior class treasurer Youry Tundidor, one of the organizers of the rally. “I know to outsiders it may look kind of silly, but it’s something that people look forward to senior year, and they’re being denied that this year.” The protest march was the second in 18 months by Lawrence High students. In December 2020, roughly 40 students gathered at Cedarhurst Park and marched to the high school to demand that the school district rein-

The district also canceled the winter track program, but Lawrence athletes did take park in truncated fall and spring sports seasons in the second half of the 2020-21 school year. “The reason I’m here is because our Board of Education [is] not covering our transportation to Six Flags, though they have in the past,” said senior class President Gabrielle Domanas, another rally organizer. “It hasn’t been an issue in the past. When we looked at their budget
for transportation, it’s $12 million, and it covers all transportation.” The students were vocal but remained orderly as they marched to the high school. There Domanas and Tundidor emphasized that the seniors wanted to be heard by the district administration and the Board of Education. “We honestly just want to be heard, and to be able to set a precedent, and show we’re just not going to stay quiet and do nothing about it,” Tundidor said.

Ongoing track work forces more LIRR changes STAFF REPORT It’s been many long months of track work through the heart of the Long Island Rail Road. But all that construction is in the “homestretch.” Commuters will just have to endure a little more inconvenience in the meantime. During off-peak hours, at least. Weekend service between Penn Station and Huntington now operates hourly, according to new details from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with connecting service to and from Port Jefferson every two hours. Eastbound trains to Huntington depart up to 13 minutes later than what they did previously. Also getting a later start are midday weekday westbound trains on the Ronkonkoma line, by up to 25 minutes. Overnight eastbound trains will be as much as a half-hour late. Same is true for midday eastbound trains to Oyster Bay, although the 8:06 a.m., train from Jamaica to Oyster Bay will now depart a short time earlier at 7:53. “These service adjustments accommodate the final stages of work as we reach the homestretch of completing the LIRR’s most transformative projects,” said Catherine Rinaldi, the railroad’s interim president, in a release. “The schedule modifications optimize availability for crews to complete tasks while minimizing disruptions to scheduled service.” Those transfor mative endeavors
include both the $2.6 billion Main Line Expansion Project and the $11 billion East Side Access project looking to provide new service to Grand Central Terminal. The Main Line expansion is adding a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. MTA also plans to cut the 11:21 a.m., train between Farmingdale and Penn Station, as well as the 10:25 p.m., train between Penn Station and Huntington. Commuters are recommended to take the 10:37 p.m., train to Ronkonkoma, and transfer at Hicksville for the Port Jefferson-bound train. The 11:14 p.m., train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will originate in Hicksville at 12:31 a.m. Commuters are advised to take the 11:39 p.m., train from Penn Station toward Huntington to connect with this train. The 11:22 p.m., train between Huntington and Penn Station will end at Hicksville, where commuters can jump to the 11:48 p.m., train to New York City with added stops. But it’s not all cuts. MTA has added a weekday train departing Atlantic Terminal beginning at 8:22 a.m., making all stops to Jamaica. For peak trains, the 6:07 p.m., route between Atlantic Terminal and Babylon has been restored. Also, a new train departs Jamaica at 7:37 a.m., operating express to Atlantic Terminal, with connecting transfers from Hempstead, Baby-

lon, Ronkonkoma and Oyster Bay Branch trains. The 6:09 p.m., train between Penn Station and Babylon will return to its normal schedule, stopping at Rockville Centre, Baldwin and Freeport only. The 7:12 a.m., train from Huntington to Penn Station will have an added Hicksville stop at 7:29 a.m. And the 6:21 p.m., weekday train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will now depart at 6:16 p.m. And one major piece of good news for those looking to get some sun: summeronly trains on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches return beginning Memorial Day weekend.
cOnTinuing cOnSTRucTiOn iS great news for some peak commuters, but bad news for everyone else, as Long Island Rail Road restores some service while cutting others. Summertime trains, however, return Memorial Day weekend on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches.
It’s a lot of new schedule to remember, which is why MTA officials recommend commuters depend on its TrainTime smartphone app, or by reviewing the Long Island Rail Road PDF timetables at MTA. info. The transit authority is making customer service agents available to answer questions each day using live chat through its app between 6 a.m., and 10 p.m. To get someone on the phone, dial 511, or (718) 217-5477, and simply say “representative” at the start of the prompt. Automated schedule information is available at that phone number, however, around the clock.

Hewlett junior Stephan Gershfeld wasn’t going to let the hottest day of 2022 or stiffest challenger in the Nassau County boys’ tennis singles tournament keep him from repeating as champion. Gershfeld continued a second straight perfect season by defeating Great Neck South’s Albert Hu, 6-0, 6-3 in the county final under stifling weather conditions Sunday afternoon at Eisenhower Park. “Defending the county title was a goal I set at the start of the season and it feels great,” said Gershfeld, who defeated his close friend, Michael Safir of Jericho in Sunday morning’s semifinals, 6-1, 6-0. “It was definitely a tough day to play,” he added. “It was very, very hot. I just did my best to stay hydrated and also ate a lot of carbs.” Gershfeld, who in November captured the United States Tennis Academy’s 16-Under indoor national championship, has not lost a set since 2019 when he was Hewlett’s No. 2 singles player. That year he was county runner-up in the doubles tournament with then-junior Logan Fliegal and advanced to the state tourney at the U.S. National Tennis Center in Queens. On June 2, Gershfeld will begin his quest for a state singles title. Covid-19 forced the cancellation of last year’s state tournament. “I’m beyond pumped and confident going for the state title,” Gershfeld said. “It was the best experience three years ago playing on the U.S. Open courts. I couldn’t sleep at all the night before. Knowing what to expect now is going to help me.” Gershfeld, who helped the Bulldogs to a 12-2 season and a spot in the county team playoffs, had three hours between Sunday’s matches while Hu, who went the full three sets in his semifinal win, had 50 minutes. Gershfeld said electrolytes in his water and a diet consisting of several bananas, a bagel and cheese quesadilla kept his body engine fueled throughout the day. “It was the same situation as last year with the time between the semis and finals,” said Gershfeld, who defeated Hu in

HEwLETT juNIOr STEpHaN Gershfeld has captured back-to-back Nassau County singles titles and is headed to the state tournament. the 2021 semifinals. “Albert is a steady player who improved a lot. He’s a consistent baseliner who keeps the ball in play. I was able to slowly break him down, but it wasn’t easy.” After not losing a game in the opening set, Gershfeld found himself quickly trailing 3-0 in the second. That’s when Hewlett coach Joyce Raikos stepped in with some advice. “I told Stephan to get back to high-per-
centage shots,” Raikos said. “He was trying to hit the lines and other low-percentage shots. He needed to keep the ball down the middle and beat Hu to the net. “Stephan is an extremely talented and very smart player who easily adjusts to an opponent’s strengths and weaknesses,” she added. Following his discussion with Raikos, Gershfeld won six straight games to capture the set, match and title.

Woodmere Middle School eighth-grader Noam Sheerit received honorable mention for his poem “Triumphant Little Candle,” in the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association’s 36th annual student poetry contest. Sheerit was invited to attend a celebration at Whitman’s birthplace in West Hills, which is a landmark on the National Register of Historic places. Along with being a renowned poet, Whitman was the founder of the longest continuously published community newspaper in the U.S., The Long Islander, in 1838. “Triumphant Little Candle” There once was a candle who wanted to shine bright, but he wasn’t as big, so he cried to the lights. The bigger lights ignored him, like they always do but the little candle stayed true to his own personal dues. The little candle said to them, “One day I’ll become just like you.” The bigger lights laughed and chuckled, as the little candle became flushed with an ocean of emotions. He cried and he teared, but no fear, because the little candle had a dream and would not veer.
T’was was an eerie night that the candle had chosen, to make his one big dream start in motion. The other lights and candles were fast asleep, caught up in what a big day it would be. The little candle walked to the mountain, as he’d heard that’s where all the big lights burned. A mistake he made, he was to learn. The air got thinner,

Woodmere middle School eighthgrader Noam Sheerit earned an honorable mention for his poem ‘Triumphant Little Candle’ in the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association’s 36th annual student poetry contest. but he thought he felt bigger, so he stayed for a while thinking it would finally make him smile. He burned and he roared, bigger than before, unlike any other moment in his very small life. His flame couldn’t fuel itself anymore, his wax burned to a crisp, becoming a small disk. He came out smaller than any other candle, but he was thankful for his life, and all that he’d learned he could handle. — Jeffrey Bessen

Concrete for a home by the water?
Q. We have always wanted to build a home from scratch, and want to plan a house that is modern, fireproof, hurricane-proof and checks all the boxes for a dream house. We have a property to build on, but realize the economy is working against us, since the cost of everything seems to be much higher than when we started our wish list. Someone we know suggested building with concrete block to save money, but the house will be near the bay, and we’re wondering whether it will survive a flood, especially since we know already that we have to have the living floor above the flood height. Ask The What do you recommend for building our home? Architect Concrete is what we’ve been seeing, but won’t that be expensive?
A. Concrete is a great choice for building in a flood zone, but not the best material system for saving money over alternate building systems and materials you could onte eeper choose from, especially for residential construction. The reason why concrete buildings are built, in general, is to meet much more stringent building laws to accommodate a larger number of people, protecting us from fire spread while being very strong and low in maintenance. The code (or written law) is in place to create safe buildings. Fire, wind and flood are very real and ominous threats. What you have typically seen in flood zone areas is first floor full foundations surrounding the garage and storage areas. Living spaces are required to be above the flood level. You have to be prepared for much more labor-intensive construction above the lowest level if you hope to build out of concrete. Concrete buildings require steel reinforcing rods — tons of them — set into configurations before the concrete is formed and poured. The concrete is generally formed from wood formwork constructed by carpenters, who must then strip the forms away from the concrete after it has set up and is curing. If this sounds expensive, consider that a wood structure, properly designed and covered in a flood-resistant membrane and cement board, can meet the same regulations for a lot less cost. This is only because one-, two- or three-story structures can still meet the requirements of current law without the excessive strength or flame resistance that larger buildings are required to have. Concrete block isn’t a better choice. It won’t resist movement like a monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete wall will. Steel wall studs covered with sheets of concrete board, finished with stucco, also stand up very well if anchored correctly, for a lot less cost. You can create the same modern look and avoid the cost of a full concrete structure if you use the wood or steel wall studs above the reinforcedconcrete lowest level. Instead of poured-concreteformed floors, consider wood floors that accommodate insulation better, resist fire and have a sprinkler system that will save the home and contents more economically as well. Good luck!

y friend Mike is a gentle soul with a quick sense of humor. We met when we studied journalism at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center and worked endlessly on the school newspaper, Seawanhaka. I still see Mike once in a while, when a few of the old Seawanhaka gang get together at a diner. Mike would joke as always on those afternoons over lunch, and regale us with stories about his latest trip to Italy, where he and his JiM wife have relaBERnsTEin tives. Our conversations also took place online. Mike has always been with us on the issues of the day — our disbelief and fear at the rise of the radical right and the demise of what was once the Republican Party, our dislike of the gun culture, our deep sympathy with the people in Ukraine, our disgust with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But after the back-to-back mass mur-
T
ders over the weekend of May 14-15, in Buffalo and Orange County, Calif., I received an unusual email from Mike. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” he began. He wrote that a cousin from Italy had been visiting, and went to a local gun range. He described the costs involved — $25 for a short “first time” course with an instructor, renting a gun for $25 per hour plus the cost of ammunition and the use of a target. He continued, apparently with some excitement, “They have all different kinds of pistols and some rifles.” His cousin had tried out a pistol, her friend had shot a rifle, and then they switched. She had urged Mike and his family visit the range. Then his note became alarming: “I’ve never fired a gun in my life,” he wrote, “but I think I may stop off at this place sometime this week and get my feet wet.” And then: “Maybe after learning how to shoot, I pick up a small but lethal handgun. I could get one legally, but it’s a huge hassle. I could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and
‘
i
buy one there. I’m just getting spooked by knowing that so many wackos in New York may have a gun.” I quickly wrote to ask if he was serious. His response was heartbreaking. “I’m serious about going to the range for some fun shooting,” he wrote. “Just for the experience. I am semi-serious about the gun.” In the back of his mind, he concluded, “I see myself shooting some a-hole who approaches me on the street asking for money.” Maybe that shouldn’t have been a surprise. America has become the gun capital of the world. In 2021, Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms, the gun industry’s second-busiest year on record. Our country has also become the mass-shooting capital of the world. The shooting in Buffalo was the 198th such incident this year. And the year isn’t half over. Mike watched the coverage of Buffalo just like the rest of us. He reads the newspapers the same as we do. But he seems to have come to different conclusions. He may, he thinks, need a gun. The rest of us old college newspaper
could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and get one there.’
guys don’t think we do. We all have different thoughts and different reasons for thinking the way we do. And that’s fine. But I can’t helping wondering what happened to the Mike I’ve known for so many years, the guy who wrote funny columns for the college newspaper and is still funny after all these years. What is it he is afraid of ? And why? Many others have the same feelings and fears, and I have the same questions for them. I have no desire to own a gun. Why do they? Why do they see the senseless killing of Black shoppers in Buffalo, worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a mass shooting in New Orleans, and think the solution is to arm themselves? The National Rifle Association has always preached that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” But the proliferation of guns has never seemed to me a solution to the proliferation of guns. Mike is a good guy who may well want a gun. The trouble is, how many other good guys are out there who feel same way? And why? Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

When the coronavirus pandemic hits home
wo Sundays ago my husband tested positive for Covid-19. He was at home on the East Coast and I was visiting grandkids on the West Coast. It was the very last night of my trip; he called to say he had a cold, so we did the Covid home test together on FaceTime. He aced it, and not in a good way. He had Covid. I had been away for a week, but was leaving at 4:30 the next morning for home. He managed on his own for 16 hours while RAnDi I flew across the KREiss country and into ground zero for germs. I was super anxious all the way home, perseverating about vaccinated older people getting very sick. Dying. We have lost friends, and we have lived through all the dreadful accounts of ventilator hell. Since the beginning, we have been exceedingly careful with ourselves and others. How could this happen? Would it go well? Would I be next? After two years of hiding out and
hunkering inside and ordering in meals and missing family and friends, Covid still found us. After tracking the first available vaccines like bloodhounds and traveling two hours each way to get our jabs, Covid still found us. In our 54 years together, we’ve been through some stuff. Now my husband and I needed to get him through a global pandemic that has already killed 1 million Americans. I know how to be a good nurse, but there’s sometimes a mash-up among the head and the heart and the sense of humor. I can take blood pressure and use an oximeter and make chicken soup and basically devote my day to hydrating the patient. I also can worry myself sick with all the what-ifs. I can also laugh at the absurd. I developed my own prescription for loving care laced with a bit of dark humor. In the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so I was all in. No joking at all. As he improved, however, and when he started asking for seconds of dessert, and fluffed pillows, my inner Nurse Ratched
i
emerged. We set him up in our bedroom, and I moved into another room. Our rule was that, with a mask, he could come out for meals at a table in our den. I would put his food out and go back to the kitchen, which was my space. Initially he was grateful for every morsel of food and gesture of kindness. As the days moved along, he suggested I had overcooked his eggs and handed him the wrong salad dressing. You’re so right. This. Isn’t. About. Me. (I don’t really buy that.) But I’ve been doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walks, dishwashing, obsessive, never-ending handwashing, and disinfectant spraying. Don’t get me wrong; he is a model patient. I am not a model nurse. Not as bad as the fabled Ratched, who did a job on Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but I’m no Walt Whitman, either. Yes! You didn’t know? He didn’t just write poetry; he was a skilled nurse. We are now five days in since my husband tested positive. The CDC says
n the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so there was no joking.
he can go out and play. According to new guidelines, I was never required to isolate if I felt OK. We are not following these guidelines. We are both isolating until he tests negative. I will then test, and we’ll move on from there. Have no doubt: This Covid thing is one nasty bug. My husband has just about every pre-existing condition you can have, and he is feeling every one of his 76 years. The take-home lesson is this: We might be very sick or dead without the vaccines. Thank heaven and whatever powers may be, thank our scientists and our medical community and all the friends and neighbors and fellow Americans who took vaccines and boosters. I have no doubt at all that my husband’s apparent mild course of illness is because he has some protection from the vaccines. We were also able to get him Paxlovid, the anti-viral drug from Pfizer, and that seems to help, too. Today I can say, so far, so good. I hope he continues to do well. I hope I don’t get sick. Now I must make him a tuna sandwich, not too much mayo, a little bit of onion. Lightly toasted bread. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Your voice is more important now than ever
t’s likely the eve of the destruction of Roe v. Wade — an act likely to be met with cheers or outrage, depending on which side of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court abortion case people land on. And what comes next could very well be up to your state legislator. How the court could change course so dramatically in less than 50 years is something scholars will debate for a long time. But it’s not exactly unprecedented. In fact, it’s not even uncommon. The court has overturned its own decisions more than 230 times since 1810, according to the Library of Congress. That makes such actions an almost annual event, on average. Many of those mind changes were for the better. Like the famous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling in 1954, which upended the “separate but equal” policy established by Justice Melville Fuller’s court with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 created the “you have the right to remain silent” Miranda rights we see over and over on cop shows. But Miranda actually overturned two rulings from just a decade earlier, both involving criminal suspects who were denied access to lawyers during police interrogations. And there have been decisions that just made things worse. Like Citizens United v. FEC, which has helped shape the “soft
letters H-W superintendent looks ahead To the Editor: I hope this letter finds the members of the Hewlett-Woodmere community safe, well, and enjoying the beautiful spring weather. I enjoyed seeing so many of our residents at the recent Arts Below Sunrise event. What a fantastic oppor tunity to bring our entire community together for a day of fun, vendors, g reat music, science, delicious food and, of course, camaraderie. I would like to thank everyone who took the time to vote in the recent school budget election. We appreciate the support the community continues to place in us to provide the children of Hewlett-Woodmere with exceptional programs and services. If you were not able to vote this year, please consider exercising your right in upcoming school budget
money” political landscape we have today. In 2010, the court, let by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that giving money to political campaigns — no matter how much money — was an extension of free speech granted by the First Amendment. That ruling wiped out two previous Supreme Court decisions, including one brought by Sen. Mitch McConnell against the McCain-Feingold Act, which limited such campaign expenditures. Many of these legal “course corrections,” for lack of a better term, were met with controversy. And if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, its ruling will reverberate through a large number of elections and a wide range of legislation to come. Yet what’s before the court isn't a criminalization of abortion. Instead, it would likely return the country to what existed before Roe — individual states creating a mish-mash of laws ranging from full legalization of the procedure to its outright ban. New York has a complicated history with abortion. While many believe the state would remain pro-choice, it wasn’t always that way here. In fact, abortion has been legal in New York only since 1970 — legislation signed into law just three years before Roe of a procedure that had been outlawed, for the most part, since 1830. But abortion access will completely disappear in other states — the quickening
of a process that has been under way for the past couple of decades. The future of abortion in New York will almost assuredly lie with Albany. State lawmakers will be compelled to respond to the ruling, and could put in place laws codifying the original Roe ruling, dismantle legalization, or possibly finding some space in between. No matter which direction legislators lean, what is certain is they need to hear from you. For abortion? Against abortion? With conditions? No conditions? This is the time to speak up and be a part of the legislative process. We spend a lot of time reading — and hearing — about individual lawmakers’ positions. In the end, however, their job is to represent their constituents. That’s us. But they can’t represent us if they don’t know our positions on legislation before them, or the bills that could wind up on their desks thanks to the actions of the Supreme Court. Call your Assembly member or state senator. Write them letters. Send them emails. Visit their district offices. Don’t wait for someone else to speak for you, because if everyone waits, then no one is speaking. And with high court changing so dramatically in recent years, it's more important than ever to establish those relationships with lawmakers, because what happens next truly depends on you.

et’s be clear. The calculated illegal leak of a draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is akin to leaking the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal. It puts American democracy and institutions at grave risk. As challenging as it may be given the passions of both sides, we need to put aside whether we agree or disagree that the draft Roe v. Wade decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and appreciate the far larger issue: that the leak is a cyniRonaLd J. cal effort to corrupt the confidenRosenbeRg tial deliberative process of our judiciary. It not only improperly sought to create a national firestorm prior to the court’s issuing a final decision, but also to destroy the necessary confidentiality, internal trust and mutual respect needed among the justices and staff. Unlike the other two branches of government — Congress and the executive branch — which have elected office holders who are answerable to their constituents every two, four of six years — the
federal judicial branch has unelected judges and justices who are appointed for life. The reason our founders provided for this was to attempt to immunize them from the outside forces and partisan influences that are involved in getting reelected or re-appointed. The founders of this great republic enacted a Constitution that provided for an executive branch and a legislative branch, both of which are answerable to the citizens — and thus also subject to being lobbied and picketed by them. Judges, meanwhile, are obligated to decide matters impartially, without bias, prejudice or partisan influences, based solely on facts properly admitted into evidence in court and in accordance with applicable law. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to intimidate or influence judges outside court proceedings to try to get them to achieve your desired outcome. Picketing their homes or otherwise trying to intimidate judges or their families is a serious crime, and a threat to the premise of the judicial branch. Chief Justice John Roberts’s statement after the leak only hinted at his level of anger when he described it a “betrayal of the confidences of the

Thank you to everyone who shared their thoughts and opinions with us throughout the many meetings and conversations that helped to shape our budget for the 2022-23 school year. I think we can all ag ree that Hewlett-Woodmere is a wonderful place to learn, live and work. The passage of the budget will allow the district to continue to provide extraordinary learning experiences for our students and the excellent programs and services valued most by our community. I would like to congratulate our elected Board of Education members, Debra Sheinin and Chani Jeter.

Court.” And words alone will not heal the historic damage done to the integrity of the court or sufficiently punish the leaker(s). In its wake, Roberts instructed the marshal of the court to conduct an internal investigation into source of the leak to Politico for the purpose of punishing those involved. There are those in Washington, however, who suggest that assigning this responsibility to an office whose role is not even remotely one of investigations is akin to asking a shop teacher to construct the Hoover Dam. He or she might be able to do it, but you wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the final product. At a time when the very integrity of the high court has been violated, there are voices calling for a stronger response. Glenn Fine, of the Brookings Institute, has written that what is needed is an investigative office worthy of its name and prepared for its purpose. In a recent commentary, Fine wrote, “This situation is why I argued … that the federal judiciary needed an experienced, professional, permanent internal investigative office — an inspector general.” Also in question is what happens to the traitorous individual who is ulti-
mately identified as the leaker? If he or she is an attorney working for one of the justices, the absolute minimum threat should be a highly publicized, humiliating permanent disbarment. The leaker should also face criminal charges, and if there is no current statute providing for criminal prosecution, Congress should immediately enact and implement one. A news service quoted Michael Frisch, described as a former disciplinary counsel in Washington, suggesting that if the perpetrator is an attorney, “It's going to be a career-defining, if not career-ending moment.” Americans need to understand that this leak went far beyond the question of Roe v. Wade. It sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders. You may agree or disagree with the rulings of the Supreme Court, but it is designed to reflect the highest principles of what we call a democratic republic. Damage it and you damage that crucial foundation upon which America has been built and thrived for 233 years. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.
