Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg retires after 31 years By lETISHA DASS ldass@liherald.com
Traditionally, at the end of the Passover Seder, Jewish people say, “Next year in Jerusalem,” and for Rabbi Bruce Ginsburg and his wife, Rachel, that year is now. After 31 years of serving the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, in Woodmere, Ginsburg, 70, plans to retire at the end of June. “We have been fortunate to have him as our spiritual leader,” Mark Kavarsky, the synagogue’s president, said. “So we recognize there was a great loss by his retirement.” The synogogue is in negotiations to hire Ginsburg’s successor, Kavarsky said. In emigrating to Israel, the Ginsburgs plan to live closer to their three children and 10 grandchildren, which is known as making aliyah in the Jewish community. “All our children are in Israel, and grandchildren,” Rachel said. “We wanted to go to Israel when we are still healthy, physically and mentally.” Ginsburg, who was named the rabbi of Sons of Israel in 1991, describes it as a traditional liberal
congregation. Throughout his tenure, he was a proponent of education and social justice in the community. “He introduced many wonderful programs to the synagogue, and also made it a point to be very involved with the children of all ages,” said Harriet Gefen, the education and executive director. Ginsburg, Gefen added, supported programs for special-needs, Russian and Israeli children. “Whatever program or project I came to him with,” she said, “he was completely, 100 percent supportive.” Ginsburg’s adult-education courses, Gefen said, have always been very well attended, and everyone in the community, whether they were part of the congregation or not, has sought his counseling. “I consider him to be a once-in-a-lifetime spiritual leader,” Kavarsky said, “who’s supported individuals and families through a multitude of life cycles.” Born and raised in Levittown, Pennsylvania, Ginsburg was devoted to his Jewish faith and followed the example of his mother, Louis Ginsburg, as a spiritual leader.

Hewlett Elementary School honors the Provenzanos By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
To honor the memory of Nicholas and Joanne Provenzano, two longtime Hewlett Elementary School employees, the school on Broadway held a tree dedication ceremony last week. Nicholas, nicknamed “Nicky” by former co-workers, worked as a custodian for nearly 40 years, from 1957 to 1996. He died in 1996, on his way to work. Joanne had several jobs at the elementary school from 1976 to 2003. After retiring, she stayed connected with her friends from the district. She died last year. The district planted two trees and installed two dedication
plaques — one for Nicholas and one for Joanne — in the school’s courtyard to honor the couple, “who dedicated their time and their service to the students and faculty of Hewlett Elementary School,” Principal Dr. Colleen O’Hara said at the May 26 ceremony. “These beautiful trees here today will serve as a reminder of Joanne and Nicholas Provenzano, and they will help friends come together today and in the future. ” Dr. Mildred David, who was the school’s principal from 1972 to 2002, named the memorial the Provenzano Planting Project. David worked with Nicholas Provenzano for 33 years, and with Joanne for 26.
T
hese beautiful trees will be here to remind us that happiest are the givers, and helping hands are always appreciated.
DoREEN RoMANo In her speech, David recalled Nicholas carrying hurt children to the nurse’s office and digging through the trash with students for accidentally tossed retainers. She described him as “approachable,” always having a smile on
his face, and, she added, “When you needed a helping hand, you knew that you could count on Nicky.” Joanne “had three jobs at Hewlett Elementary,” David said. First, she was a “peacemaker” on the playground, then she assisted in the library, and her final job was at the front desk. “When there was a problem,” David said, “you could count on Joanne.”
Joanne used her passion for organization to remember many birthdays, and to beautify the Woodmere Education Center. The students paid respect to the Provenzanos by singing songs in between the remarks. David quoted from “The Giving Tree,” a children’s book by Shel Silverstein, which considers the nature of altruism. “As you grow and as you learn and as you experience life, be like the GivContinued on page 9

Hewlett-Woodmere becomes multilingual lmargaria@liherald.com
Though the majority of Hewlett-Woodmere School District students are overwhelmingly white and English is their first language, there is a growing diversity in the communities. To accommodate the expanding number of ethnic groups, the school district launched Microsoft Translator two months ago. It is a language-translation tool, to eliminate language barriers between teachers and district families. “Our goal is to establish and simplify two-way communication between district staff and parents in languages other than English,” Superintendent Ralph Marino Jr. wrote in a news release about the translation app. “Previously we were only able to translate what was existing on the website,” Board of Education President Debra Sheinin wrote in a text. Having Microsoft Translator, a free and easily accessible app and web page, “allows parents to initiate contact with the district in their preferred language,” Marino wrote. The district’s student registration process includes a home language questionnaire for families to complete. This information is used to identify families, who communicate in languages other than English that may want to use the transla-

Pictured is a photo of the district website translated from Spanish to English on the Microsoft Translator app. tion app. “Using this program enables teachers, staff [and] admin to communicate with parents via email — the Hewlett-Woodmere faculty writes an email and translator sends it in the families’ primary language,” Sheinin wrote. “Also available is live chat through Microsoft, so staff can have chats where the parent types in their
primary language and it comes across to our staff in English. Our staff replies and it is sent back in their [the parent’s] language. How fabulous!” The app works as an instant messaging service and has language-specific keyboards and text-to-speech translation. “After testing Microsoft Translator across multiple languages,” Marino wrote, “we
are confident that it will be a useful tool to facilitate communication between the district and it’s families.” In March, the district launched the translator at the Woodmere Education Center and in the main office of each of the district’s six schools. Though the Herald did not receive any feedback from district teachers about the translation tool, Sheinin shared her niece's experience getting to know an English Language Learning student before the district introduced Microsoft Translator. An English language learner is a person learning English who speaks a native language that is not English. The ELL eighth-grader came to Woodmere Middle School from South America during Covid, Sheinin said, and was using Google Translate to communicate with classmates. “I was saying how wonderful it would be if they had Microsoft Translator a year ago,” Sheinin wrote. “Google translate isn’t an app that you communicate with. Microsoft has a ‘communicator’ — the ability to open a chat and have a conversation. “So the eighth graders couldn’t have a fluid conversation” with Google Translator, Sheinin wrote, “but now,” with Microsoft Translator, “they would be able to.” Have an opinion about the launch of Microsoft Translator?

Longtime Five Towner named NCC valedictorian By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com
Longtime Five Towns resident Tzivia Miller is the valedictorian of the Nassau Community College class of 2022. The Hewlett resident grew up in Woodmere attending New York City private schools. “I was always a good student,” Miller, 27, said, “studied a lot, did well.” Miller graduated from the Manhattan High School for Girls in 2013 and went on to be a pre-med student at a four-year college, which she preferred not to name. “I was very unhappy there,” Miller said. “So, after one semester there, I quit, I guess you could say, and then two years later I decided to go back to try it again. This time I went to Nassau.” At NCC, Miller took nursing courses and focused on her studies, receiving her associate’s degree in nursing in May. Simultaneously, she began her first online semester at Chamberlain College of Nursing to earn her Bachelor in Science of nursing. Though NCC has a joint program with Empire State Colle ge in Saratoga Springs, “I didn't think that would be a good option for me,” Miller said, as she wanted to continue school and work simultaneously. Recently, Miller was hired at Mount Sinai South Nassau in Oceanside, where she would start working as a nurse in September. Her dream-nursing career
would be working with newborn babies in a neonatal intensive care unit. NCC’s Chair of the Student Activities Committee Deborah Kilmnick, a Public Speaking professor, was part of the valedictorian selection process. Students who have a 3.96 cumulative grade-point average or higher qualify to be a candidate for valedictorian, but must go through an interview process to be selected, Kilmnick said. “We had to submit a few things like a personal statement and some reference letters,” Miller said. NCC valedictorians are picked not just on their paper trail, but “what your personal life is like— if you had challenges,” Miller said. During her time at NCC, Miller succeeded despite the struggles in her personal life, which she spoke about in her valedictorian speech last week. An address that she practiced meticulously with Kilmnick. “She did great,” Kilmnick said. “She was very, very nervous, like I said, but she has what we call a quiet confidence about her.” At the end of her “deeply personal” speech, which Miller used “as a lens to show the [other] students they can do anything,” she received a standing ovation, Kilmnick said. Miller is “bright”, “kind-hearted”, and “as real as they get,” said Kilmnick. “She also just wants to help people based on her own life experience. Those are the people that usually remember their roots

“because I had people in my class who did not do very well, and it's because they didn't take it seriously.”

Those who have stayed, MacGuire said, he was able to kindle a new relationship outside of the connection with his parents. “When you're a kid, you don't realize that life moves on,” Pierce said, “and that people come and go.” MacGuire created the memoir, which reflects the most vulnerable moments of his life, for his sons to learn about their history. “Having gone through a very painful and disparage scenario (Lanie died in 2015), I wanted my boys to have an account of what it was like particularly now that they've decided to be in Texas,” he said. With his children no longer home, MacGuire has returned to Manhattan and plans to travel with his partner, Michelle Coppedge.

Lawrence has transformed into a thriving suburban community since author James MacGuire left his childhood home on Cedarhurst Avenue. In his first memoir, “The Homecoming Seasons: An Irish Catholic Returns to a Changing Long Island,” published by Rowan and Littlefield, MacGuire recounts what it was like returning to his roots with his growing family in 1994 by moving to the Isle of Wight, on Stable Lane, in Back Lawrence. “There's something very sweet about how he recounts going back to his childhood town on Long Island,” Jed Lyons, Rowan and Littlefield CEO, said, “and his love for that community and the Long Island shoreline, where I also grew up.” Moving was a decision MacGuire, now 70, never believed he would make after living on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with his wife, Lanie MacGuire. However, with the couple expecting the birth of their second son, Rhoads, money becoming tight and the death of his late mother, it became an appealing choice. “And it seemed like a wild and crazy thing to do,” MacGuire said, “but it turned out to be a very wonderful 25 years.” Organized like a diary, MacGuire recalls significant moments in history and his life that has shaped the community of Island Wight and himself, spanning from 1643 to 2015. The story of the neighborhood begins when the Dutch first settled on Long Island and the Isle of Wight, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Lawrence, was known as Hick’s Neck in the 1600s after being owned by Thomas Hick and his family as a plantation. “I think it gives everybody a little sense of context,” MacGuire said. “[A] basis to compare their own lives to what the writer is saying.” He also looks back on what it was like growing up and returning to the predominantly Jewish neighborhood as an Irish Catholic. The concept of the book’s format came from MacGuire’s journals which he had kept since the 1980s. “It was a real effort to string that together and edit it and make it into a narrative and I hope I've achieved that,” MacGuire said. “I've always kind of wondered as a kid what was in there,” said son Pierce MacGuire. “And so, I was just kind of glad to hear that all those memories are going to be recorded.” Lawrence, bordering on the Rockaway Peninsula, was once an escape for the wealthy of New York to enjoy the beaches. “It was so quiet and serene before,” Alex Lloyd, MacGuire’s longtime friend, literary agent, said. Housing developments, growing infrastructure and the rhythmic sound of airplane propellers from John F. Kennedy Airport departing and arriving filled the once rural village. The first home of MacGuire’s parents in 1945, on White Lane, near the village, has been turned into a municipal parking lot. “Things have changed so much in a relatively short time. Certainly, in his life-

Sons of Israel to say goodbye to rabbi
NASSAU HERALD — June 2, 2022
continued from front page Temple of Shalom, his mother was the first president of the Sisterhood Son of God, the congregation’s women organization, and later the synogogue’s president. After Bruce’s bar mitzvah, he began thinking of becoming a rabbi. Encouraged by his mother, he spoke with Temple of Shalom’s late rabbi, Herbert Hendel, whom he greatly admired. “To this day,” Ginsberg said, “I regularly visit his gravesite in appreciation.” He attended Boston University and joined Hillel, the campus Jewish organization. With the mentorship of its director at the time, Rabbi Joseph Polak, Ginsburg began considering conservative and reform schools for his rabbinical studies. He began attending the conservative Jewish Theological Seminary in 1973, and spent two years at its branch in Israel, where he attended classes at Hebrew University. “During the time that I was there, I found myself becoming more and more traditional,” Ginsburg said. While completing his rabbinical studies, he met Rachel Ginsburg in the summer of 1974, after volunteering to work at the kibbutz where she lived. After finishing school, Ginsburg, then 27, became the rabbi for the Bethpage Jewish Community Center — now part of the Midway Jewish Center in Syosset — with the recommendation of a cousin who was a member. “It was a wonderful place to grow,” Ginsburg said. “They were a loving congregation.” Although Pennsylvania will always be home to him, Ginsburg said he chose to begin his rabbinical work in New York because the state was home to the country’s major Jewish institutions and communities of all ethnic and religious backgrounds. “While I was open to going anywhere,” he said, “I understood that if you want to be where the action is, it is New York.”

rabbi bruce GinsburG, of the Congregation of the Sons of Israel, is retiring after 31 years.
GinsburG and his wife, Rachel, plan to move to Israel when Ginsburg retires at the end of June.
Serving on the Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday Celebration Committee of Nassau County since 1997, Ginsburg focused on bringing the county together through ecumenical services. The Sons of Israel was the first synagogue to host both Jewish and non-Jewish communities for the celebration of King’s birthday in 1999. In 2003, he was the recipient of the Martin Luther King Jr. Award. Ginsburg led the Sons of Israel to be the common ground for Jewish communities around the Five Towns
to gather for services. Starting around 1996, he said, his congregation was instrumental in bringing 13 synagogues together to share their teachings. “It didn’t matter if you were Orthodox, conservative, [or] reform,” Gefen said. “He tried to really bring everybody together.” In retirement, Ginsburg said, he plans to catch up on reading and spend time with his children. “I’ve got a long list of things that I want to continue to learn,” he said. “So that’s certainly something I look forward to.”

Pensak read “A Friend’s Greeting,” by Edgar Guest, who appreciates a good friend and wants to reflect those good friendship traits in his other relationships. “I thought about a poem that would better convey the gratitude that we owe to both Nicky, for his years of service, to Joanne, for her years of service,” Pensak said, “and more importantly, for their kindness and their friendship to everyone with whom they worked here at Hewlett Elementary.” “My mom and Nick dedicated most of their lives to Hewlett-Woodmere School District,” Joanne’s daughter, Doreen Romano said. “They truly loved being part of the Hewlett Elementary family, and everyone they met along the way. To them, it wasn’t just a job — it was their home away from home.” Nicholas “was the jolliest, most sincere and giving person I’ve ever known,” Romano said. “He was a custodian when I attended school here in the ’70s, became my stepdad in the ’80s, and a Poppy to his two grandsons, Anthony and Frankie, in the ’90s.” Romano described her mother as “loving, caring, generous, warm, funny, helpful and, of course, organized.” During Joanne’s final days, her daughter said, “That’s all she talked about — her memories here at Hewlett Elementary School. Those were some of the most cherished times of her life.” Romano added, “These beautiful trees will be here to remind us that happiest are the givers, and helping hands are always appreciated.”

Parents, police want to prevent another Uvalde
June 2, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD
By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com
“How do we keep our children safe?” It’s a question on the mind of parents seemingly every day as they send their youngsters off to school and out into the world. That question has come into even clearer focus in light of the tragedy of Uvalde, Texas, where a gunman killed 19 elementary students and two adults on May 24. It was the nation’s 27th school shooting this year, according to NPR, and we’re not even halfway through. “Most shootings are over in two to three minutes,” Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder told a small crowd of 20 or so people who gathered for a school safety seminar at the police department’s Garden City training center last week. “The active shooter kills who they have to kill, and usually they kill themselves after.” The typical response time for Nassau County police officers for an emergency call is between three and five minutes, the commissioner added. “If I can close the gap to between two to three minutes by getting there faster, I can save lives,” Ryder said. “If I get there quicker, I save lives.” Some of that time can be saved thanks to technology. All 56 county school districts have been equipped with a smartphone app that instantly alerts police if there’s trouble. Officers are also mandated to do walk-throughs of schools in their districts daily to better familiarize themselves with how campuses are laid out. “If I go left (by accident), I lose seconds,” Ryder said. “And each second, I lose a life.” And then there’s the more tangible equipment, like Kevlar vests, helmets and even ramming tools. “We don’t wait,” Ryder said. “Most people think that a school shooting could never happen here,” said Emily Pflum, an intelligence expert with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. “But the same people are the ones who saw all the signs and never said anything.” Fascination with weapons and former attackers, disturbing social media posts, cruelty and torture of animals, and self-incriminating statements such as “I’m going to make my mark on the world” or “see what I’m going to do tomorrow,” are signs of a potential threat, she said. But shooters aren’t the only societal plague parents have to worry about. There’s something else out there that some may say is just as dangerous, if not more: fentanyl. “Unfortunately, it’s not a problem we can arrest our way out of,” said Detective Lt. Matthew Landman of the police department’s narcotics bureau. Landman has a two-pronged approach to the issue, heavily expressing the importance of education — “the most important part of today’s day” — and enforcement. He shows students “before” and “after” photos of addicts. “There is hope. There are a lot of services. But unfortunately, these people live very difficult lives, and it’s a very long road to recovery. I tell my audiences at school to save yourself the heartache and don’t get involved” to begin with. Landman also touched on how potent fentanyl and carfentanil can be, adding that just 2 milligrams of fentanyl is lethal. “In essence, a sugar packet’s worth of fentanyl has the ability to kill 500 people,” he said. And then there’s social media. Sure, it’s a great way to stay connected to family and friends, but it’s also easy to fall prey to the dopamine thrill online attention can provide. “We literally have a whole generation of people who are more anxious, more depressed, more down, with low self-esteem than ever before,” said Luis Serrano, an officer with the Nassau County Police Department. “And that is connected to social media.”
luIS SeRRANO Of the Nassau County Police Department says social media has created a number of problems with young people, believing it has created spikes in the hospitalization of teenage girls harming themselves, and attempting suicide at higher rates.

SheVON ANd ChARleS Senat say they’re going to sit down to talk to their kids candidly about the issues facing young people and teenagers these days. Nassau County Police Department commissioner Patrick Ryder, at right, addresses concerned parents’ worries about opioids, school safety and social media use. Before 2009, hospitalizing teenage girls after harming themselves was something few people were alarmed with. But that changed with the introduction of platforms like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok with those same figures nearly tripling. Even more horrifying, Serrano said, is the 151 percent rise pre-teen girls attempting suicide. “This is the reality we live in,” Serrano said. “This is the connection to social media, and this is why social media has become like a drug.” But parents should be worried about actual drugs, too — and not just fentanyl. It might be easy for many to hide drug abuse, but Officer John Obert-Thorn says there are ways to discover those secrets, and maybe even lead someone to seek help. Pupils that are pinhole-sized
could be an indicator of heroin or oxycodone, while large dilation could point to cannabis or a stimulant. “The only way we’re going to take ourselves out of this massive, massive drug addiction problem and drug abuse problem is through prevention,” Obert-Thorn said. “Getting them while they’re early (is) the only way.” Charles and Shevon Senat have two young boys at home in Baldwin, and admit the work to keep them safe is round-the-clock. “We’re going to talk to them and let them spread the word to cousins and their friends,” Charles said. “We talk to him in candid conversations — not authoritative. We want them to know we’re there for them. Don’t be scared to talk to us. (As a) matter of fact, come to mom and dad first.”

HAFTR hosts Scott Satran basketball tournament Students filled the stands of the Hawks Nest, the Hebrew Academy of the Fives and Rockaway High School’s gym as they cheered on the teams competing in the Scott Satran Basketball Tournament. HAFTR hosts this annual tournament to commemorate the memory of Scott Satran, a former HAFTR student who died from cancer at 20 in 1987. Yeshiva high school basketball teams from all over came to the Five Towns to compete in hopes of taking home the coveted winning trophy. The tournament began on May 12, with a crowd of excited fans eager to watch their teams bring home the win. This multi-day event continued through May 15, where the games culminated in an intense championship. HAFTR families opened their homes to host students from visiting schools outside of the community. Student athletes enjoyed a special celebration of Shabbat together, bonding during Friday night and Shabbat meals and playing fun icebreaker games. Once Shabbat ended, the games resumed and the competitive spirit held strong. After many tough and exhilarating
games, HAFTR made it to the championship, playing against Magen David High School from Brooklyn. The championship was sure to be challenging, but one for which both schools were well prepared. For the entirety of the game, the teams were neck and neck and ended up tied at of 46-46 as the regulation game clock ran out, sending the contest into overtime. The stands were filled with fans, and everyone was at the edge of their seats in anticipation of the outcome of the game. As the intense overtime started, the adrenaline-filled players tried their best to make smart passes and hit all of their shots. Finally, Magen David scored, took the lead and defeated HAFTR. Despite the loss, it was still a great game, with amazing performances by seniors Haimy Salem and AJ Solinsky and sophomore Kevin Levy. Overall, it was a great time where all of the students enjoyed the competitive games. We look forward to hosting and participating in more basketball tournaments in the future! — Kyra Seidel

May 14, 1948 is the official historical date that the state of Israel was established in the modern era. That makes the Jewish state 74 years old and the Hebrew Academy of Long Beach in Woodmere celebrated the anniversary with gusto. At the Lev Chana Early Childhood Center in Hewlett Bay Park, the students “traveled” to Israel as the students “landed” at Ben Gurion Airport went through Customs Control and visited Kibbutz Chana, where the children milked cows, found the hiding chickens and added and subtracted oranges in a grove. Moving on to “cities” in Eliat the students saw colorful fish and pristine beach-

FirstNet AT&T sponsors health care excellence awards
June 2, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

STAFF REPORT Many really started calling those who work frontlines — and behind the scenes — in the health care industry heroes at the start of the coronavirus pandemic. But they’ve always been heroes. Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLive is partnering with FirstNet AT&T to recognize that heroism through its premiere Excellence in Healthcare Awards Gala on Wednesday, June 15. Health care professionals from across Long Island will gather at The Heritage Club at Bethpage in Farmingdale so they can be recognized for their diligence in their field andpassion for helping others. FirstNet AT&T has been committed to public safety since 2012 when, through a public-private partnership, it created a nationwide high-speed communication network for first responders. The company established the FirstNet Health & Wellness Coalition in 2021 to organize and support the welfare of firefighters, police and emergency medical technicians, so they can keep fighting for the community, and contribute greatly to public safety. “We look at FirstNet as the most important wireless network in the country because it’s serving our first responders,” said Anthony Postiglione of FirstNet sales executive for public safety solutions, in a release. “At AT&T, we have

been long committed to serving the public safety community — we see it as both our obligation and our honor. With many of my immediate family and friends being part of the first responder field, I feel as though I’m privileged to help provide the first responders of Long Island with the telecommunication solutions that will help keep them safer in the field with the FirstNet ecosystem.” The evening begins with a private reception exclusive to the honorees and sponsors, followed by a networking cocktail party before the dinner and awards ceremony. Honorees will be given an elegant crystal award for recognition of their dedication to the health and wellbeing of their community and health care facilities. “I’m very much looking forward to the event,” Postiglione said. “Being able to interact with first responders gives us the opportunity to not only thank them for all they’ve done — and will continue to do for the Long Island community — but will allow us to get more feedback and understanding of what their current needs are in the first responder arena, and how we can continue to support.” Tickets for the Premiere Excellence in Healthcare Awards Gala are available at RichnerLive.com. Sponsorship inquiries can be directed to Amy Amato at (516) 5604000, Ext. 224, or at aamato@liherald.com.

Pandemic changed view on palliative care msmollins@liherald.com
The height of the coronavirus pandemic remains a dark time for many — especially those who were sick and couldn’t see their loved ones in-person. That put even added pressure onto palliative care, a type of specialized medical care for those with serious illnesses focusing on providing relief and comfort from the symptoms and stress of those illnesses — more often than not, for those suffering conditions that may ultimately claim their lives. But a lot has changed since the start of the pandemic, and the newly minted Molloy University will share a lot of that during its palliative care conference on Friday, June 3. Offered both virtually and in-person following, the conference offers participants new tools to provide professional, competent and compassionate care to patients and their families. It had been held annually since 2008, but paused at in 2020 and 2021. “Typically, the conference offers topics that help the professionals deal with death and dying,” said Lou Cino, the dean of continuing education and professional studies at Molloy. “Not only for the patient, but for their families as well. And that can mean helping them physically, mentally or emotionally.” Palliative care has grown over the last two decades, Cino said. Graduates in a variety of professions rely on conferences such as these for professional development on the subject. At Molloy’s event, experts from medicine, nursing, pastoral care, child life and social work will present the latest advancements in the fields of symptom management, ethics and communication, staff self-care, and bereavement during the nearly eight-hour conference. Clinicians from all disciplines also will speak about

MOLLOy UNIvErSIty wILL host the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference on Friday, June 3. Industry professionals will gather both in-person and virtually to learn how this medical specialty has grown in importance in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic. best practices and barriers to timely palliative care in hospitals, nursing homes and hospice organizations. The event will feature lectures and therapy demonstrations. The conference is important, Cino said, because it brings medical professionals and experts together to create a dialogue about the best palliative care practices. “They’re health care professionals that served on the frontlines of the pandemic for the past two years,” he said. “They deal with death and dying on a daily basis, and this is a conference that gets all these people together to talk about the problems they have with dealing with death and dying. It takes a special kind of person to do this work.” The conference was renamed this year the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference, in memory of the Herald
Community Newspapers’ cofounder, and late mother of publishers Stuart and Cliff Richner. She was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder in 2006, and through palliative care, her last days were made more peaceful. “It’s wonderful and we’re so happy and excited that the conference is being named after Edith,” said Lori Hardoon, a social worker and one of the event’s organizers. “Many people in the world of palliative care are women, and we have some powerhouse women that are a part of it. She was an amazing woman, a powerhouse and a leader.” The keynote speaker at the event is Dr. Russell Portenoy, the executive director of the Manhattan-based MJHS Institute for Innovation in Palliative Care, a highly regarded voice in the field. There wasn’t as big of an emphasis on palliative care just a few years ago, Cino said, as there has been more recently. Most hospitals now have a unit dedicated to palliative care. That need, he added, was magnified by Covid-19. “One of the horrible things about the pandemic is that you didn’t have the ability for the patients to be with their families,” Cino said. “These health care professionals were the last people they saw. They didn’t see their family. They didn’t see their friends, and didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.” Hardoon was excited the conference could be held both in-person and virtually to reach a broader audience. “The beauty, for me is I get to be there from the beginning of planning,” she said. “I get the inside view of the plans behind each year and how we’re making the conference bigger and better. Each year, it gets better and better, and the magnitude of it takes my breath away.” The conference runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration takes place at the Madison Theatre’s public square. Zoom links will be available at Molloy.edu/ce/pcc.

Rabbi meiR Geisinsky exhorts the crowd gathered around the bonfire at the Lag B’Omer party in the park on May 19.
Celebrating Lag B’Omer in Cedarhurst Times are feeling more normal as the Chabad of the Five Towns Lag B’Omer family fun day in Andrew J. Parise Cedarhurst Part attracted roughly 2,000 people on May 19. Lag B’Omer is a Jewish holiday that celebrates a break in a plague that is reported to have happened during the days of Rabbi Akiva in the second century. The Talmud states that Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai, a
great teacher of Jewish mysticism, died on Lag B’Omer. In contemporary times the holiday came to symbolize the resilience of the Jewish spirit. Along with traditional archery, bonfire, dancing, food, music, inflatables and petting zoo, there was the incredible Flippin’ Out trampoline show during the three and a half hour event in the park. — Jeffrey Bessen

Q. We’ve always had window air conditioners, and want to get central air. It’s quieter, and we’d get our windows back. As we figure out costs, we just want your opinion as to whether it’s worth it. We realize we’ll have less room in our attic, and we think we’ll lose some space in closets where the ducts go from the attic through the second floor to the first floor. We got an estimate that was pretty expensive, $15,000 dollars. Do you think it’s worth it? A. There’s a lot to consider. Many people don’t know the many issues of retrofitting central air conditioning into a home. In planning and paying for a new system, consider that, generally, it adds value to the home, but in doing so, you are required to obtain a building permit, which includes multiple steps, from filing a site plan, onte eeper showing the location of the outside condenser unit, to an attic plan, showing how the fan unit is mounted with a location for the condensation drain pan, and information on whether the home is in a flood zone and how the outside unit will be mounted above the base flood level. You will also need an electrical certificate and final inspection for an electrically powered system, and a plumbing permit if the system is gas-fired. Most systems are electrically powered. Then you should consider that your county tax assessor rates homes with central air as having greater value, so you will be taxed at a higher rate for central air than for your current windows units. That’s right: Your taxes will increase along with your energy bills. Window units are my last choice for cooling systems because they are unsightly, can be unstable, need to be tilted out and downward to avoid condensation from dripping into the window, and aren’t energy-efficient if kept in the window year-round, since cold air gets into the room through flimsy sealing around the units. The least costly system is actually having individual separate controlled room units in through-wall sleeves, higher in the wall and away from windows, not just because it is only a little less unsightly, but because you avoid the tax increase, the building permit process and expenses and the disruption to the home, including the loss of valuable access and storage space in the attic and closets. I regularly see where central air system installers ignore your best interests by placing the ductwork across the middle of the most accessible area of an attic to make their installation easier for themselves, disregarding your storage and access needs. The installers often move attic insulation and neglect to put the insulation back around the newly installed units, which may keep you cool in the summer but can make you freeze in the winter. The latest energy code requirement is to insulate the attic rafters so the attic unit is part of the cooled area. More on split units next week. Good luck!

week ago, I had a chance to spend a delightful afternoon with my 2½-year-old granddaughter Logan. Logan was fortunate that during the Covid confinement, she had two parents working from home who could spend extra quality time with her, and as a result she’s an articulate and observant young girl. I know I sound like every other grandfather, but during those precious few hours, I wondered and worried what her world will be like in the next 20 to 30 years, and what JERRY challenges she will face. KREMER Our current world is one big mess. The war in Ukraine is much more than a regional battle. It is a struggle between good and evil, and in any war there is always a chance that evil will prevail. We have crackpots running countries such as Russia and North Korea who have access to nuclear weapons and long-range missiles. For Logan’s sake, I hope these dying despots
R
will refrain from trying to take the world with them. Whether you agree or not, global warming is and will be a long-range threat to our quality of life. No sane person can ignore the continuous threats that nature poses to us. Massive forest fires, tornadoes, superstorms and flash floods are constant events here in the U.S. The current world leadership has failed miserably to deal with the root causes of global warming. I hope that Logan and her peers will be willing to do something aggressively to curb these changes, assuming it isn’t too late by then. If you think technology is moving fast, just consider the past five years of changes and then try to imagine what our world will be like in 2040 or 2050. Most of us know little, if anything, about artificial intelligence. It will eventually dominate the way our society functions, and could eliminate millions of jobs, despite what the technology geeks say. Will there be a place for Logan in such a fast-moving environment? Women in today’s business world understand what the term glass ceiling means. How hard
i
will it be for Logan to advance when she’s ready? There is now an ongoing debate about how well our children are being educated to face the challenges of the future. Are we preparing them for the rapid changes that lie ahead? Will their families be able to afford the right education? Will they have a chance to be competitive when they face a new-age job market? Will the courses they take match what advanced technology will require? I want my grandchild, and everyone else’s grandchild, to be ready to join a much different world than the one we live in now. The past two years have been a terrible period for all of us as we struggled through the onslaught of the coronavirus pandemic. Home confinement and remote learning have dealt our children a psychological blow that will take years to wipe away, if it ever can be. The scientific community has done a brilliant job of creating medicines that challenge Covid-19 and many other viruses, and we all hope they will be available to children at every grade level. Maybe, just
want her, and every grandchild, to be ready for a much different world.
maybe, when Logan is a full-time student (if not before), we will have vaccines that can protect against any type of unanticipated strain. There is so much more to hope for for Logan and her peers. The current divide in American thinking over so many issues is tragic. There are few, if any, normal discussions about our society’s problems; those discussions have become heated debates. Added to this frustration is the rise in prejudice and hatred against so many individuals and groups. This division in beliefs won’t disappear overnight, but if America has any hope of remaining a democracy, it has to end. The few precious moments I had with my grandchild made me press my mind’s fast-forward button as I wondered what the world will be like a generation from now. I am hopeful that for all the children and grandchildren out there, their world will be a safe, happy and adventure-filled place.

Just another day in the USA: 19 kids shot dead
elatives of the Uvalde, Texas, schoolchildren were taken to a “reunification” center after the gunman did his work. That struck me — the word reunification. Because it was a lie. So many parents would never be reunited with their precious sons and daughters, little fourthgraders, who were gunned down in their classroom last week, along with their teachers. The killer? Another angry young man who bought himself two AR platform rifles for his 18th RAnDi birthday. KREiss We Americans are choking on our rage, and so much of it is funneled into violence against children. I feel ashamed. We call ourselves responsible citizens, and yet we abide the sacrifice of our children. We cry — and we keep re-electing to office the pro-gun candidates who are in bed with the NRA. We pledge allegiance to our flag knowing all the while that the killing of school kids in their classrooms is an all-American pastime. It doesn’t happen anywhere else in the world with the frequency that it happens in our homeland.
Golda Meir famously said that when Israel’s enemies loved their children more than they hated Israel, peace would be possible. The same could be said of Congress: When they love our children more than they hate standing up to the National Rifle Association, the slaughter will stop. I recalled Golda’s lament after Columbine in 1999, and in 2012 after Sandy Hook, and in 2018 after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida. Between those dates, according to Wikipedia, there were 31 other school shootings in the United States. Some 70 percent of the shooters were 18 or younger. We know we have a mental health crisis among our teenagers. We don’t have enough caregivers, and we don’t have a functioning system in place to get help to those in pain. The single greatest cause of death among American children is now shootings. These words are hard to write, and I hoped to focus on something else this week, perhaps something lighter, but the events of the day eclipse the possibility of distraction. In this moment of loss and horror, we need to keep beating the drum for gun regulations. We need to beat the
C
drum even as we are exhausted by the noise, even as we feel the intransigent power of the NRA pushing back. In Uvalde, as in Parkland, as in Columbine, the usual post-massacre teams gathered at the scene: police, media by the truckload and a group that travels from killing spree to killing spree with counselors and money for funerals and warnings about post-murder scams. The fact that we have such a team in America is both a further indictment of our society and, obviously, a necessity. We all know the lingo of “lockdown” and “active shooter” and PTSD caused by shootings. Really, it is an abomination that we have become so proficient at handling the tragedies rather than preventing them. Remember Sandy Hook? Dylan’s mom and Daniel’s dad write to me often. In truth, I dread reading their e-mails; their words darken the day. But how wrenching it must be to write the words. These parents are leaders of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, the group that works toward stricter gun control laws. They are victims of the tragedy, both having lost first-graders in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012. Their work is
ongress needs to love America’s children more than it loves NRA money.
pure and heroic — trying to find a slender thread of hope in the heap of terrible grief that has consumed their lives. Now David Hogg, a survivor of the Parkland massacre, writes to me, seeking support for an anti-gun group called Never Again MSD, which is marching yet again this week in memory of Uvalde and to urge stricter gun laws. They write to me, and millions of others, to garner support for laws that would prevent another mass shooting, or at least reduce the odds. But there has been so little progress. Instead of sensible gun-control laws drafted by a responsible Congress, we have unctuous sentiments without any commitment to change our gun laws for the better. Our only power is our vote. We need elected officials who promise to take on gun violence with substantive legislation. Do members of Congress love their children? You bet they do. Do they love their jobs so much that they will not stand up to the NRA? You bet they do. When they love their children, and America’s children, more than they love NRA money, we may see meaningful legislation on guns. Twenty-seven school shootings so far this year, according to NPR. And counting. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Saving a life in the blink of an eye
e might not think about it very often, but we blink a lot — as often as 1,200 times an hour. That’s a quick shutter of our eyes about every three seconds. Every two seconds, according to the American Red Cross, someone somewhere in the United States needs blood. To keep up, our nation’s blood banks require upward of 40,000 blood donations every day. But lately, we’ve struggled to keep up. The blood supply in the United States is at almost historic low levels, as a result of a perfect storm of waning interest among young people and the coronavirus pandemic. The need, however, hasn’t relented, so getting out and donating a pint is more important than ever. But so is compelling the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to adopt scientifically based screening to keep the blood supply safe and stop stigmatizing gay men. Before 2015, if you were gay, you could never donate blood. It's a byproduct of the HIV/AIDS crisis of the 1980s since this demographic was more likely to introduce HIV into the blood supply. It's no longer a lifetime ban. Now it's just three months from the last time one man slept with another. The FDA says this is the best way to reduces HIV-tainted blood slipping into the supply, but it doesn't have to be that way. The Human Rights Campaign — a national organization championing LGBTQ rights — says by doing this, the

letters The lost children in Texas To the Editor: The deaths of 19 Uvalde, Texas, fourth-graders have stolen more than a combined 1,000 years of future life from them, meaning that, collectively, they will be missing more than: One thousand Memorial Days, 1,000 Fourths of July, 1,000 Halloweens, 1,000 Thanksgivings, 1,000 Christmases, 1,000 New Year’s Days, 1,000 Valentine’s Days and 1,000 Easters — not to mention their 19 wedding days, the births of their own children and grandchildren, and countless other days, weeks, months, years and decades. However, this latest tragedy almost became understandable to me when I imagined a mash-up of the Constitution's First and Second Amendments: “Congress shall make no laws respecting the right of people to keep and bear
FDA doesn’t treat people with similar risks the same way. The restriction isn’t just on gay men who engage in risky behavior, like unprotected sex. Instead it applies to any gay man, even if he is monogamous and practicing safe sex. But straight men or women with multiple sex partners, or who are taking part in otherwise unsafe practices, aren’t restricted. To make it even worse, the FDA lumps gay men in with two other automatic disqualifications: people who have used illegal drugs with needles, and those who have traded sex for money or drugs. The FDA has proven itself to be extraordinary in testing blood supplies with a high degree of accuracy. There must be a better way to counter risk factors without turning way entire groups of people, painted with a broad brush. Washington must change this archaic policy, because it's vital everyone who can donate, does donate. A single donation helps save not just one life, but three. Imagine that. Spend less than an hour of your time, endure a slight needle prick, and you’ll make a difference for three others. Medical facilities can extract four different beneficial components from the blood: red cells, plasma, platelets and cryoprecipitate — the last helps blood clot. More than a third of donated supplies are used to treat cancers and blood diseases. Other major beneficiaries of
blood donations include patients suffering from anemia, those in surgery, those with heart and liver disorders, and orthopedic patients. Just about anyone can donate blood, according to the New York Blood Center, as long as you’re at least 17 — 16 with parental permission — weigh at least 110 pounds, and are in generally good health. There’s no maximum age, but those older than 75 need a doctor’s clearance. There are some restrictions. If you have traveled anywhere in the world where malaria is a problem, you must wait three months. If you get a piercing or a tattoo, it’s also three months — unless the procedure took place in a sterile environment, or, in the case of a tattoo, it was done by a licensed facility in New Jersey. Syphilis or gonorrhea? Three months. Blood transfusion? Also three months. Pregnancy, abortion or miscarriage? Six weeks post-pregnancy. Despite all that, believe it or not, most people can still donate. And you should. Visit the New York Blood Center at NYBC.org. Call to make an appointment at (800) 933-2566. Or visit a local blood center. You can find them on the blood center’s website — and there is one nearby, at 290 Sunrise Highway in Rockville Centre. Every time you blink, let it be a reminder that someone, at that moment, is being told they need blood. Do your part by donating the gift of life today.

ince it opened in 1959, SUNY Nassau has often been described as the jewel of Nassau County and the New York state community college system. We have been one of the prime economic engines for the county, and a magnet for attracting residents. It is time to reinvest in the college so that its faculty can offer continued quality academics, programs and curriculum to prepare students for the 21st century. The college will now go into its 15th year without a funding increase for its operational budget from Nassau County. This, along with a decade-long cut in state funding, has led to a Faren shrinking full-time faculty, SiminoFF increases in tuition and cuts in student services, along with the college’s failure to develop and offer new programs and initiatives.

budget. Where other college boards of trustees regularly ask for, and receive, 1 to 2 percent increases in their operating budgets, ours has not. This isn’t sustainable. If the board of trustees does not submit a revised budget proposal to the County Legislature, we will ask the Legislature to reject their proposal, and ask the board and administration to revise it. County funding represents a significant portion of the college’s funding — about 25 percent of our total operating budget. Like all of us, the college has set

Blakeman ignores oppression in West Bank To the editor: Re “Blakeman champions partnership with West Bank” (May 19-25): It saddens me to see that Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman, along with other county officials, is celebrating the signing of an economic and cultural agreement with Israeli West Bank settlements. despite statements by Blakeman and others, these settlements are illegal under international law, and are obstacles to obtaining any real peace in Israel/Palestine. It has unfortunately become far too common among some, like these county officials, to choose to ignore longstanding U.N. resolutions and basic tenets of fairness and justice. Ongoing Israeli oppression of Palestinians — including the forceful removal of Palestinian families from their homes and land — must cease, and the long, bitter occupation of Palestine must end if we are to see the desperately sought peace we say we want. I urge our county officials to move us in that direction. JIM BROWN Secretary, Green Party of Nassau County Island Park
expenses that have risen dramatically over the years. What other public institution can you think of that has not received any increase in funding in 15 years? It is past time for the county to increase its investment in the college. SUNY Nassau students tend to stay in the county. They are rooted in the community and form part of the needed workforce, becoming our accountants, lawyers and small business owners. And yes, they stay on to become our valued neighbors and taxpayers. In sum, SUNY Nassau students are our future. In asking the county to raise the college’s operating budget, we are, in reality, asking the county to invest in its residents, businesses and in its own future. The benefits are limitless. We believe that a great county deserves a great community college. To sign our petition, please go to Change.org/launch23for2023. A rally is scheduled for June 27, at 3:30 p.m., in front of the County Legislature building, at 1550 Franklin Ave., in Mineola, when a vote on the NCC budget is expected.

We must have the right to choose To the editor: Re Randi Kreiss’s column “Threat to choice has women on the march” (May 12-18): I’ve been a reader and fan of Randi for many years. I’ve laughed with her and cried with her as my husband and I raised our two daughters, buried another, and experienced joy and too much sorrow. We’ve navigated the world of mental health disorders with a family member, and as I pursued a legal career, we were blessed with much nachas — pride and joy — in our girls. I nursed my husband as he disappeared with early-onset dementia and passed away four years ago. I write now because this issue, of the right to choose, hits home. I, too, was fortunate enough to be able to choose not to continue with a pregnancy when I was 19 years old. Now I’m frightened and incensed and motivated to act. I will be retiring from my 35-plus-year career as an attorney shortly, and I plan to volunteer with an agency/organization to somehow conserve/revive the right to choose. I thank Randi for all her years of thought-provoking, incisive journalism. MIRIAM gOLdSTeIN Baldwin
We’re being stripped of our rights To the editor: Women’s rights are being taken away from us. This country will not uphold its claim to be just, equal and righteous if they can easily take away our rights.
Ducks and turtles enjoying the day in Silver Lake Park — Baldwin
Taking a choice involving a woman’s body should not even be up for discussion. This is no one’s concern except for women who are looking for an option, a choice. We cannot have a democratic country and yet take our rights away when a majority of this country is against the likely Supreme Court decision. It is
wrong and shameful what is happing to women who need outlets and resources for a decision that affects their whole life. This is not a minor problem or disagreement — this is an abuse of power. It is our right, our body and our choice. ARIANA COYLe Wantagh
