Pearsall Project stirs up neighbors By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

THE CEdARHURST VIllAGE board held a public hearing at Lawrence High School on June 8 on the proposed Pearsall Project. From left were Village Administrator Sal Evola, Trustees Daniel Plaut and Israel Wasser, Mayor Benjamin Weinstock, Trustee Myrna Zisman, Deputy Mayor Ari Brown, Village Attorney Evan Newman and planning and zoning consultant James Antonelli.

Nearly every resident who spoke in opposition to the proposed Pearsall Project in Cedarhurst at a public hearing on June 8 reflected the anger that community members expressed as far back as a meeting last August.

In the Lawrence High School cafeteria, nearly 40 people voiced their concerns about increased traffic in an already densely populated area and the impact on their quality of life that three four-story buildings, containing Continued on page 4

Temple Israel cantor commemorates 20th anniversary By lISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Overcoming a dearth of Jewish education in her native Ukraine, Hewlett resident Galina Makaveyev became a cantor, and celebrated her 20th anniversary in that role at Temple Israel of Lawrence after the synagogue’s June 3 Shabbos service.

Makaveyev, 54, was hired as the temple’s cantor in July 2002. “I knew that I

made it,” she said at the event honoring her. “I could become an American citizen, and I could use my musical talent and skills to serve a greater purpose.” A cantor sings the liturgical music and leads prayer in a synagogue.

Makaveyev came to the United States in 1995 from Israel, where she lived for five years after emigrating in 1990 from Ukraine, her homeland, then part of the Soviet Union. “My only connection to Judaism was eating chicken soup with LB

In 1994, Makaveyev graduated from the Academy of Music and Dance in Jerusalem with a bachelor’s degree in choir

She applied to Hebrew Union College – Jewish Institute of Religion, in Lower Manhattan.

“When one of the college professors asked me at the interview, ‘How do you celebrate Shabbat?’ I was like, ‘What are you talking about?’” Makaveyev recalled with a laugh. “I was Jewish by blood, but I Continued on page 12

Uncontested elections in Atlantic Beach and Lawrence By lISa MaRGaRIa lmargaria@liherald.com

Identical to the smaller villages of Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor, Hewlett Neck and Woodsburgh, Atlantic Beach and Lawrence incumbents are running unopposed in this year’s elections.

Voting is on June 21.

Atlantic Beach’s three incumbents, Mayor George Pappas and Trustees Edward Sullivan and Linda Baessler, are running for two year terms.

Pappas, an Atlantic Beach resident for roughly 22 years, became mayor in 2014.

Pappas did not respond to comment before the Herald went to press.

Sullivan got involved on the board in

2008. He did not respond to comment before the Herald went to press.

Baessler, a village resident for nearly 47 years, became trustee in 2009. “I have always believed that residents should be involved in their community,” she wrote in an email. “With input and participation from residents, the community can improve their quality of life and meet the needs of those who live there.”

Baessler said she is running for re-election to oversee projects such as infrastructure improvements, traffic control, village beautification, community events come to fruition.

Lawrence’s three incumbents, Mayor Alex Edelman and Trustees Paris Popack and Eliezer Kutner are running for two-

year terms.

Edelman, a Lawrence resident for nearly 20 years, joined the board as a trustee in 2013 and has served consecutively since, becoming mayor in 2016. He is running again “because I love the Village of Lawrence,” and the board, Edelman said, adding that he wants to “ensure that the village is maintained,” to keep residents happy.

Popack, a Lawrence resident of 27 years, became trustee in 2020. Her prior experience as president of the Lawrence Civic Association and a village park commissioner influenced her to become involved on the village board.

She said she appreciates the relationships she has made through many years

of civic work in the Five Towns and working with the other village officials, she said, adding that she wants to see current village projects — such as security improvement, flood mitigation, village beautification — through to completion.

“It has been a privilege to serve as village trustee,” Popack wrote in an email, “and I would like to continue my work on behalf of the Lawrence community.”

Kutner did not respond to comment before the Herald went to press.

In Atlantic Beach, voting is at Village Hall, 65 The Plaza, in Atlantic Beach.

Lawrence residents can cast ballots in Village Hall, 196 Central Ave., in Lawrence.

Voting is from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. in both villages on Tuesday.

The Three buildings to be constructed as part of the proposed Pearsall Project, which was discussed at a June 8 public hearing. residents agreed, asking for either single or multi-family homes instead of buildings, or for three-story buildings instead of four-story.

“I just can’t build a one-story building,” said Pearsall developer Tommy Lieberman, adding that the land costs too much. “As much as it sounds great or beautiful, I can’t do it. It doesn’t make sense business-wise.”

The Pearsall developer’s traffic study, submitted by Cameron Engineering, of Woodbury, concluded that the Project would not have adverse effect on traffic.

The village hired Hauppauge-based Eschbacher Engineering to conduct an independent traffic study. Eschbacher supported Cameron’s findings.

The regency residence The former site of the Number One School, on Central Avenue in Lawrence, adjacent to the Peninsula Public Library, was sold by the Lawrence School District to Lawrence-based developer David Neuberg for $29.1 million in July 2007.

Construction began in 2008, and then paused, resuming in 2011. The Regency was completed in 2012.

The school district received $2 million more based on the number of apartments that were built.

The Village of Cedarhurst’s 25th annual concert season is approaching and will take place every Tuesday at Andrew J. Parise Park in Cedarhurst from July 5 to Aug. 30.

Village Mayor Benjamin Weinstock is the visionary behind the annual summer concerts under the park gazebo, which kicked off in 1996. “When I was driving home from work one day, I drove through Garden City and saw a musician playing under a gazebo,” Weinstock told the Herald in 2019 while he was a lawyer based in Uniondale, “I discussed the idea with Mayor [Andrew] Parise and he thought that it would be great for the village.”

Since then, the concerts have been a successful “celebration,” Weinstock wrote in a letter announcing the events, “of our unique community, where everyone, young and old, from all religious beliefs, ethnic backgrounds, and races, gather to enjoy weekly evenings of music, fun, relaxation and everything else that our park has to offer.” At least 55,000 spectators have attended the annual concerts, village officials said.

The lineup for this year’s entertainment includes Americana music with the American Bombshells, a tribute to the Divas with Barbara Harris, a tribute to the crooners with Bob Kulik,

Tom Suozzi ready to solve problems in Albany

By MICHAEL HINMAN mhinman@liherald.com

Tom Suozzi’s path to the governor’s mansion won’t be an easy one — especially since he’ll have to win a June 28 Democratic primary that includes a popular incumbent, Kathy Hochul.

But Suozzi isn’t deterred, convinced that Hochul is vulnerable thanks to a few missteps and what he says is a hard lean to the left since her ascension following Andrew Cuomo’s resignation.

“Kathy Hochul was wrong for the job,” Suozzi told a team of reporters in the Herald Roundtable session. “She came in saying, ‘You know, I’m going to be a breath of fresh air. And there’s going to be the most transparent, most ethical government in the history of New York. I’m not going to be Andrew Cuomo.’”

But then Hochul passed what Suozzi called the state’s “most secretive budget” in decades, which included what he described as a “billion-dollar” giveaway to the Buffalo Bills for a new stadium.

“There was no public hearing,” Suozzi said. “It was the biggest giveaway in the history of the NFL.” The 59-year-old has represented a good portion of Nassau County as a congressman since 2017, eight years he completed two terms as Nassau’s county executive, helping to quell a governmental financial collapse. He first took elected office in

u.s. rEp. ToM Suozzi says he’s leaving Congress so he can fix what’s broken in Albany — even if that means upending the incumbent governor from his own party, Kathy Hochul.

1994, as mayor of Glen Cove, where he earned high marks for his environmental efforts in cleaning up old industrial sites.

“Nassau County was rated the worstrun county in America when I got there,” Suozzi said. “I turned it around, and got it into the ‘A’ ranks. I left with the lowest crime rate in the history of Nassau County. I turned this county around.

“I’ve been in Congress for five and a half years,” he added, “and I’ve given up Congress to run for governor because I just feel so strongly about what’s wrong with our state, and it needs to be fixed.”

In fact, it’s Congress where Suozzi says

most of his preparation to take over as governor took place. He is vice chair of the House’s Problem Solvers Caucus, a bipartisan group of 58 congressional members evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with the hope of bringing about more bipartisan consensus.

Among the caucus’s successes include President Biden’s $1 trillion infrastructure plan, Suozzi said, which made it through both chambers last year.

Suozzi’s biggest focus in his primary challenge, however, is crime. He opposes the state’s cashless bail policy, and even took heat last month for tying bail reform

to the May 14 shooting in a Buffalo supermarket that claimed the lives of 10 people.

Talking to the Herald Roundtable, Suozzi instead blamed Hochul for not enforcing existing “red flag” laws that would remove guns from those who authorities believed could threaten the safety of others.

“It’s not been implemented,” Suozzi said. “We have to teach the cops. We have to teach the teachers. We have to teach the social workers, the mental health people.

We have to teach the family members that we have this great tool, and we can take the guns away from people who are mentally unstable.”

One recent study of congressional primaries showed that the chance of an incumbent being ousted in a primary is virtually nonexistent. But then again, this is New York, where incumbency doesn’t guarantee much of anything.

“I do things to build relationships,” Suozzi said. “I won’t compromise my values, and I’m not going to vote for something I don’t believe in. And having been doing politics since I was elected mayor of Glen Cove in 1993, I know how to get stuff done.”

Andrew Giuliani says New York ready for change

By MICHAEL HINMAN

Candidate talk

mhinman@liherald.com

New York hasn’t backed a Republican governor since George Pataki was reelected for the second time some 20 years ago. But Andrew Giuliani is convinced the Democratic policies under longtime Gov. Andrew Cuomo and his successor, Kathy Hochul, have changed the viewpoint of many voters in the state, who are living with higher crime rates, historically high inflation, and ongoing coronavirus pandemic restrictions that even cost Giuliani a chance to participate in a recent televised debate.

“I love looking at every single independent poll that has not been paid for by a competitor of mine that either has us winning this race or is within the margin of error,” the 36-year-old former Trump administration official told a team of reporters at a Herald Roundtable session. “I think it’s been really a tribute to the fact that at the very beginning of the campaign, we focused on trying to meet with as many of the 2.9 million registered Republicans — and frankly, the over 10 million New York voters. It hasn’t exclusively been Republicans. It’s been conservatives and non-affiliated independents, and certainly any Democrats that are looking at voting Republican.”

The son of former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Andrew Giuliani was first hired by President Donald Trump as an associate director of the White House public liaison office before being promoted to special assistant.

Herald Community Newspapers provided a chance for all of New York’s gubernatorial candidates to meet with a select editorial team to present their views and answer questions.

The responses of the other candidates who took part in the roundtable sessions will be published next week.

Courtesy the Andrew Giuliani gubernatorial campaign

ANdrEw GIuLIANI Looks to be the first Republican to return to the governor’s mansion since George Pataki finished his third and final term in 2006.

Like his father, Giuliani has focused much of his campaign on crime, lambasting the cashless bail system, saying he would do away with it the moment he was sworn into office.

“On Day One,” he said, “I have pledged that I will sit down with Carl Heastie and Andrea Stewart-Cousins” — the speaker of the State Assembly and the State Senate majority leader — “and tell them very simply that unless there’s a full repeal of bail reform on my desk, I will not be funding their top priorities in our upcoming budget priorities.”

As far as the state budget is concerned, Giuliani pledges to carve out $5 billion to be used solely at the discretion of local or county law enforcement. “Let’s say a

sheriff ’s office is not getting the resources they need,” he said. “They can tap into the state to get those resources.

“Look, New York state leads the country in net out-migration, and that’s not just because of crime. But I do think that’s one of the main reasons why, under an Andrew Giuliani administration, we will look to curb that on Day One.” Giuliani would also try to oust Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, who has been tasked with investigating some of Trump’s business dealings in the state.

As far as guns are concerned, however, Giuliani is not prioritizing stricter gun-control measures. Even after the May 14 mass shooting that claimed 10 lives in Buffalo, Giuliani says the prob-

lem is rooted in illegal guns — something law enforcement has failed to get under control.

“When I think about the overall defunding of the police movement, one of the things that this does is it makes it tougher for police to proactively police,” he said. “To have the resources necessary to actually get some of these weapons out of the hands of the criminals that are actually doing most of the crime.”

If Giuliani were elected governor, he would immediately face a heavily Democratic State Legislature that could curtail much of what he has planned. But that’s not something he expects to be a problem for long.

“I do think both of these super-majorities will cease to exist in 2023,” he said of the Assembly and senate. “I look at the state senate (district) lines, and I’m very confident that we will win back seats in the state senate. And who knows? With the right guy at the top of the ticket, we may even challenge to win the state senate back.”

The team boasted a phenomenal performance at this year’s Yeshiva Unive r s i t y M o d e l U n i t e d Nations Conference.

Students from yeshiva high schools across North America, from Texas to Toronto and Florida to California, came to compete.

After long sessions tryi n g t o s o l ve c u r r e n t yra issues such as world hunger, terrorism on social media, and many other relevant topics, HAFTR team members learned valuable lessons. Participating students learned about issues we face today and learned how to collaborate with others and compromise through debate and dis-

course. Three delegates from the HAFTR Model UN team received honorable mentions, m o re aw a rd s t h a n HAFTR has ever received. Great job to the Model UN team; we can’t wait to see what next year’s conferences have in store.

More recently, HAFTR students took part in fun trips to celebrate their successful year of learning.

While the 9th- and 10th-graders headed on eidel trips earlier in the year, the 11th and 12th graders enjoyed unique outings designed just for them prior to final exams.

The juniors went on an exciting trip to Six Flags Great Adventure.

They enjoyed an action-packed day filled with roller coasters, games,

and special time with friends.

The seniors had a special end of high school multi-day trip as they traveled to Camp Seneca for some outdoor bonding time. The trip was extremely memorable as they went whitewater rafting, paintballing, sang around the campfire while having barbecues, and tasted all the sweets at Hershey Park. They had an amazing time and created fond memories they will cherish forever.

With the seniors’ beautiful graduation ceremony, and finals soon coming to an end, we can look back on the past year and appreciate all that has happened, while also looking forward to the future.

HAFTR High School wishes students success on their end-of-year projects, Regents and finals, and hopes everyone enjoys the summer break. It has been a remarkable year, and we look forward to creating new memories this fall.

What a year it’s been! After months of learning, hard work, and dedication, the end of the school year has arrived. So many remarkable things have happened over this past year, so let’s take a stroll down memory lane and recap those unforgettable moments.

Starting off strong in sports, Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School’s girls’ varsity basketball team, the Lady Hawks, took home the big trophy and won the championship game.

Students from all grades came to cheer the team on and enjoyed watching them triumph.

The Lady Hawks had a nearly flawless record, only losing one game their entire season. Many other sports teams excelled this year, and we are so proud of every one of them. Great job to all of our star athletes, and hoping for more victories in HAFTR’s future.

Brandeis 5K participants take off down Frost Lane in Lawrence at the start of run/walk last Sunday.

Running and brunching at The Brandeis School Running or walking in between the Sunday rain, the third annual Brandeis 5K Run/Walk took place outside the school on Frost Lane in Lawrence on June 12 as two Long Islanders and a Brooklyn resident finished in the top three spots.

Matt Girsch, 25, from East Meadow, claimed first place in 20:20.10. Brooklynite Leiba Reimler, 37, was the second person and first woman to cross the finish line.

Her time was 20:23.54. Valley Stream resi-

dent Elana Shalomoff, 22, finished third with a time of 21:04.06.

Along with the outdoor athletic event, Brandeis hosted a brunch inside its building, which offered welcome relief from the bad weather.

Participants and family and friends appeared to take it in stride with umbrellas in hand as race time approached. The event is held in memory of Russell Friedman.

Cantor Galina Makaveyev honored by synagogue

June 16, 2022 — NASSAU HERALD

continued from front page had no idea how to practice Judaism. So the college accepted me. However, during the summer I had to go and to take courses that, usually, converts take — Introduction to Judaism. I was the only one in the class who was Jewish; the rest of the people were not Jews. So after taking a threemonth course, I came back and they accepted me into the program.”

Makaveyev graduated from the Jewish Institute of Religion in 2002, the year she was hired at Temple Israel. She and her husband have two children.

As cantor and director of education at the temple, she has connected with many people. Through mourning or celebration, “you become closer to people and you become integrated in their lives,” Makaveyev said, adding, “you become a part of their family — we call it the big Temple Israel family.” She stays in touch with many of the children she teaches, and she has officiated at some of their weddings.

The 20th Anniversary in Worship and Concert celebration for Makaveyev was filled with music, and also served as a fundraiser for future musical events at the synagogue. Roughly 50 people attended in person — and enjoyed an impressive spread of desserts toward the end of the program — while nearly 30 took part on Zoom.

Temple Israel presented a dedication

Herald file photo

Temple Israel of Lawrence celebrated Cantor Galina Makaveyev’s 20th anniversary at the synagogue last Friday.

Torah to Makaveyev, “with a beautiful new cover,” temple President Doug Segan said, explaining that the cantor “plays an integral role in the education of our students,” preparing young children for bat and bar mitzvahs and teaching Judaism

to adults.

“She’s supported every family in both their happy occasions, life-cycle events and in moments of tragedy,” Segan said, adding “Having someone (serve as cantor) for so many years — obviously the con-

nection is that much stronger.”

Temple Israel’s first vice president, Penny Schuster, said that the connections between Makaveyev and congregants “bring continuity and constancy.” Makaveyev “sings like an angel,” Schuster wrote in an email, “and you feel like she is singing both for and to you directly.

Plus, her smile lets you know how meaningful the music is to her.” Schuster described Makaveyev as “gifted.”

While Makaveyev educates others, “she continues to evolve personally,” Schuster wrote, “pursuing a rabbinic certificate in gerontology and palliative care.” Schuster related Makaveyev’s work to tikkun olam, a Hebrew expression for “repairing the world.”

“As a cantor, Galina uplifts us through her words and musical gifts,” Schuster wrote. “And as a member of the community, she brings about change through her actions, whether building bridges with our interfaith partners or leading a Jones Beach clean-up day. To quote a hymn from the book of Proverbs, she is truly a woman of valor.”

Makaveyev said she plans to remain at the synagogue for as long as she is needed and for as long as she can.

“I love music,” she said, “but it’s only just one part of the big scale of the responsibilities that I have — not only professional responsibilities, but also humane responsibilities.”

Re-play for adults Young kids play so naturally. They jump, run, skip, dance, sing, leap, roughhouse, and roll around. They delight in rhythm and enjoy being silly. They don’t worry about being in control. They just want to be.

Adults, in contrast, want to be in control. And find it hard to just be.

They think they should be doing, viewing it as a waste of time if they haven’t accomplished anything productive.

Except for summer. Summertime is when many adults give themselves permission to play, letting the kid inside of them run free. They spend time at the shore or the mountains to be — not to do. This time helps adults let go of trying to control it all and instead become more resilient, refreshed, rejuvenated … and creative.

If summertime feels so good, you might try using it as a model to feel freer all year round. To let go of the urge to always be in control. To allow yourself to be more spontaneous and adventurous instead of endlessly

responsible.

Did I just hear you say, “That would be nice, but look at all my responsibilities.

Somebody has to take care of these matters.”

True. So, by all means, be an adult when you need to be an adult. But let your inner child have time to frolic in the sun.

Frisbee, or ball playing? Was it delighting in motion, enjoying the sheer pleasure of just r unning around? Was it an adventurous game? Was it a d r a m at i c s c e n a r i o i n which you acted out different types of characters?

Now that you’re an adult, do you keep yourself so busy that play feels like a waste of time?

Or, is your idea of playing only participating in competitive sports? And apadin does that start out fine, but become oppressive when you become critical of yourself ? Have you forgotten how to play without your self-worth being on the line?

Some adults tune is to what real play is like only when they’re frolicking with pets or young kids. Such play has no winner, no loser. It’s simply amusing, it’s clowning around, it’s letting your hair down, it’s being

Person to Person

To get to know yourself better, take a few moments to answer these four questions: ■ When do you play?

Linda S

■ When do you feel free?

■ When do you act spontaneously?

■ When do you seek adventure?

If you’ve struggled to answer these questions, you’re play-deprived. To begin to modify that, reflect on your childhood. What kind of play did you enjoy? Was it tag, catch, jump rope,

loose as a goose — making you feel happier and younger.

But, can you have that kind of play without a small child or loving pet?

Absolutely! To get started, go back in time. Be silly, move in an outlandish way, dance with passion (forgetting what you look like), sing with gusto, remember a sidesplitting joke, skip along the beach, hang around funny friends and above all, quit judging yourself !

Young kids are experts at playing, having fun, and letting themselves be.

Herald sports Mo Donegal captures Belmont Stakes

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

A couple of hometown heroes in the thoroughbred horseracing industry celebrated a memorable victory last Saturday after favored Mo Donegal, with jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. aboard, drew away down the stretch to capture the 154th running of the Belmont Stakes before a crowd of 46,301.

The three-length triumph marked the fourth Belmont Stakes win for Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher and first Triple Crown victory for Mike Repole, who coowns Mo Donegal with Donegal Racing and also co-owns runner-up filly Nest with Eclipse Thoroughbred.

Nest, also trained by Pletcher and ridden by Jose Ortiz, overcame a stumble out of the gate to finish a clear second outkicking pacesetters We the People (fourth) and Skippylongstocking (third.) Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike was never involved and finished sixth in the eighthorse field.

“First of all, it’s our family’s favorite race,” said Pletcher, who trained filly Rags to Riches [2007], Palace Malice [2013], and Tapwrit [2017] to Belmont victories. “Our kids grew up here and went to school here and we’ve always felt like it’s our hometown race. When we’re fortunate enough to win it, it adds some specialness to it. That hometown feel. That part of it is really cool.”

Repole is a Queens native and a lifelong racing fan who in 2007 started his own thoroughbred ownership business, Repole Stable. His most accomplished horse to date, Uncle Mo, is Mo Donegal’s sire.

“It’s a 40-year dream,” Repole said.

“Coming to this track [Belmont] and Aqueduct, being a kid from New York, this is New York’s race. In 2011, I came in second with Stay Thirsty and I watched the replay 150 times. I will no longer watch that replay.”

Mo Donegal was purchased in 2020 by Donegal Racing for $250,000 at the Keeneland September Yearling Sale. Fifth in the Kentucky Derby in his previous start, he more than doubled his career earnings with Saturday’s victory to $1,511,800.

“I want to thank all the partners of Donegal Racing. They’ve believed and today they’ve been rewarded,” said Jerry Crawford, owner of Donegal Racing. “I think this victory today shows that the sport is more accessible than they may realize. I can’t say enough for Todd Pletcher and Irad Ortiz, Jr. for the great job they’ve done with this horse.”

We the People took command under Flavien Prat and led the field through splits of 23.99 seconds for the opening quarter-mile, 48.49 for the half, and 1:13.23 for six furlongs on the fast main track, with the Manny Franco-piloted longshot Skippylongstocking pressing from second position.

to stalk from third position to the inside of Mo Donegal as Skippylongstocking continued to pressure the pacesetter. Ortiz, Jr. gave Mo Donegal his cue approaching the quarter-pole and he advanced with a powerful move, surging outside rivals at the top of the lane and got the jump on Nest, who then angled outside and followed her stablemate’s path to complete the exacta.

The winning time of the 1 ½ miles “Test of the Champion” was 2:28.28.

“Last time in the Derby, he didn’t have the best trip and he still got beat by [only] three lengths,” Ortiz, Jr. said. “I knew if I got a better trip, he could get there. When I asked him in the clear, he took off. He’s a nice horse.”

Much of the hype leading up to the race was about Rich Strike, the 80-1 historic upset winner of the Kentucky Derby who skipped the Preakness. Jockey Sonny Leon said Rich Strike didn’t seem comfortable on

the Belmont surface and never found another gear.

Said Rich Strike trainer Ed Reed: “We were hoping we could have been a little closer and our pace was slow. Our biggest change was deciding to stay a little off the rail and try to give him a good, open run where he could take off. The whole way, his head turned and he was trying to get to the inside. I guess we made a mistake not putting him on the fence.”

Wake up and dream unhampered by corporate hospital monoliths, requested neither co-payment nor completed insurance forms as they visited me at home.

As in a trance, I envisioned politicians who were neither first to be accused or investigated nor the first to deny or obfuscate, but rather were simply first in the hearts, not the pockets or pants, of their countrymen.

In my dream, I was suddenly at a family dinner where our usually acerbic Aunt Zooey was actually thanking us for the roses rather than placing them in the launon dry room so their pollen wouldn’t aggravate the allergies that aggravated her into aggravating us.

In my fantasy, I heard her warmly welcome me and my cousin Mo, rather than making her favorite joke that is Mo and I merged we would a “mo-ron.”

I dreamed of a world of quiet miracles where the take-out restaurant gives

the just right number of ketchup packets; where the top of the pizza never sticks the to the top of the box; where the ends of shoelaces never fray; where every restroom has air freshener; where the family pictured in your new wallet is not better looking than your own; wh e r e t h e l a u n d r y doesn’t break your shirt buttons; and where an ambulance doesn’t roar by just when the baby is falling asleep.

I dreamed of so much peace on the world that no one felt obliged to fight to preserve it; of a world where People magoldman azine had more words than pictures; where “olds” was just as valuable as “news” and both were fit to be printed; where the yellow light waited for you to pass under it; and where up elevators didn’t suddenly switch to down, making you look like an idiot.

As I slept, I witnessed a world where I understood every poem; was always

Unreserved Judgment

R G

able to remove whatever it was that was always on the top of my tongue; and where my sisters believed our parents loved us all the same even though they loved me most.

It was a world where the remote control was never misplaced; where good guys finished neither first nor last but rather just kept going on and on; where no one forgot their umbrella and where everyone had a tissue.

In my dream world, the magic word was “please” rather than “cash,” no one looked at their watch or cell when the honoree spoke; the enthusiasm of the novice was embraced but not substituted for the wisdom of the experienced; and “just because I want to” was not deemed a valid reason to do or act.

Finally, I dreamed I wrote ally my dream down in a column that was read and shared by so many people that, when I woke up, I didn’t need or want to ever go back to sleep. © 2022 Ron Goldman

NASSAU HERALD — June 16, 2022

Last Night, I dreamed I entered a library and, after going past the videotapes, computers, lectures, concerts and films, was actually handed a printed book.

I then imagined I was at a meeting where everyone listened, expressed legitimate concerns in a brief but cogent fashion, and then cast aside their own small-minded self-interests and voted to do the right thing for all and for all time.

My mind’s eye then shifted to a huge television screen that depicted family as a loving, functional unit, work as a place of accomplishment, relationships as deeply meaningful components of life, and life itself as something rather than 22 minutes of nothing (or violence or vulgarity).

Switching to an all-sports wavelength, I conjured up athletes who played for the glory of the game and were satisfied with salaries that enabled them to enjoy what they did and do what they enjoy, while inspiring millions by their effort.

I dreamed my dreams were uninterrupted by frequent trips to the facilities, as my own faculties remained monitored by caring physicians who,

Far Rockaway man sentenced to 21 years Far Rockaway resident Michael was sentenced to 21 years in prison on June 9 for the December 2019 killing of Dion Gumby outside a deli convenience store, also in Far Rockaway.

Hall, 36, pleaded guilty to first-degree manslaughter in Queens Supreme Court in May. In addition to the prison sentence, Judge Ushir Pandit-Durant imposed postrelease supervision of five years.

At roughly 6:15 p.m. on Dec. 18, nearly three years ago, Hall and Gumby, 45, were in front of the deli near the intersection of Rockaway Beach Boulevard and Beach 88th Street. Video shows that the men exchanged words and Hall pulled a gun and shot Gumby in the abdomen, arm and

torso. Gumby died of his injuries at a local hospital. Hall left the scene and was arrested within two weeks of the shooting.

“Gun violence is an epidemic that has brought too much heartache to our communities,” Queens District attorney Melinda Katz said in a news release. “Last month, [Hall] admitted guilt in the December 2019 shooting that took the life of a man in Far Rockaway. He has now been sentenced by the court and will spend a lengthy time in prison as punishment for his callous actions.”

Bronx man caught in Inwood with loaded gun Nassau police said they found a Bronx man with a loaded gun after stopping a gray 2019 Jeep Compass by Burnside Avenue in Inwood at 8:50 p.m. on June 12.

Police saw the vehicle heading east on Burnside Avenue and the driver failed to signal while changing lanes, according to police.

During the traffic stop and subsequent investigation, a loaded gun was found inside the vehicle. Gabriel E. Seale, 33, of Nelson Avenue, was arrested.

He is charges with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, fourth-degree criminal possession of a firearm and failure to signal. Seale is expected to be arraigned on June 13 at First District Court in Hempstead.

Police reporter that he was previously arrested on April 1 for thirddegree criminal mischief and criminal obstruction of breathing. Seale is free without bail for those charges.

from a deck to a pool shed, and we think there are changes inside, like the garage was made into a family room. The owner is selling “as is,” and the real estate agents for both sides say it’s really not a big deal. Is it a big deal, and what should we look for? If the deal falls through, at least we need to know if there are issues we need to look for on the next one. Our attorney seemed to agree with the real estate people, by the way.

Q. We’re buying a house with multiple issues,

A. If you define “big deal” as having things to do, then, yes, there are things to do, and expenses to go along with each item. It will take months and several thousand dollars to rectify the permit and final inspections leading to certifications.

The people advising you each have a different intent than you do.

Consider that the outside onte eeper items each have issues that range from zoning to construction correctness in order to pass for permits and for final certifications. For example, the municipality has regulations on the size of a shed, the area of the lot that all sheds and decks can cover and how close the pool, shed or deck can be to a property line. In each municipality there are several zones designated for different kinds of uses and sizes of properties.

There will be a difference between types of properties based on width and street front length, the allowable area you can cover and heights.

A zoning variance request, which is a request to “vary” from ordinances if the deck or shed is not compliant, adds considerably to the time it takes to get a permit, possibly several months. Building permits aren’t instantaneous, and can take one to two months in smaller villages and three to four months in larger towns — if the volume of applications coming into the building department is lower.

In a bustling economy, it can take much longer, and the time in a building department should be added to the zoning variance time.

Many people make the mistake of lumping the two time frames together in the hope of convincing themselves that this is no big deal. The deck, pool shed and garage conversion to living space all have very specific requirements under state building code. The general public assumes that codes for construction are local ordinances, but they aren’t.

Construction regulations are based on the International Building Code, used by the majority of states.

To get more specific, when I’m asked to look at conditions that may arise before a sale is complete, I see that about 90 percent of just the decks I look at do not comply with proper foundations or connectors from each wood part to the next, and beam spans are undersized for the allowable-size lumber, based on structural capability, even if they seem fine. I hope this helps with making things less of a big deal. Good luck!

opinions

olitics is generally of little interest to the average citizen.

Getting to and from work, taking care of family needs and trying to have a little joy is much more important. Most people don’t think of politicians as people, and the daily machinations of the political world often go unnoticed. But elected officials are human beings, and the system in which they live can be a very cruel one.

The State Legislature recently approved new district maps that JERRY will play a decisive role in deterKREMER mining which candidate will represent you in Albany and Washington. For some of the incumbents, the new lines were pretty much the same as the districts they have represented. For a few others, however, the proposed maps are either the end of their political careers or the beginning of a life-or-death campaign for survival.

On Long Island, there were two notable changes, both affecting Democratic incumbents. State Sen. John Brooks saw most of his current mid-Island 8th Dis-

i

trict disappear, and had to decide whether to run for re-election in the newly drawn 5th District. At first he chose not to run, but then he did an about-face, and will run for the seat in the new district after all. Brooks is a dedicated official, and he fought successfully this year to get Gov. Kathy Hochul to give Long Island a massive increase in school aid — but the mapmakers don’t reward devoted public service.

State Sen. Jim Gaughran currently represents the 5th District, which for now stretches from Glen Cove, in Nassau County, to Commack, in Suffolk County.

Gaughran has been a Huntington Town Board member, a Suffolk County legislator, chairman of the Suffolk County Water Authority and a strong environmental advocate in the State Senate. He is respected by both parties. But the mapmakers eliminated most of his 5th District, and facing an impossible uphill battle, Gaughran decided to leave the political arena.

The most notable change in the electoral map is taking place in Manhattan, where two long-serving members of Congress will now face each other in a primary contest. Under the old district

W

lines, U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney represented most of the Upper East Side, and Rep. Gerald Nadler represented the West Side, both for more than 25 years. When the maps were redrawn, Maloney and Nadler were thrown into the same district. Nadler suggested that Maloney run in an adjoining district, but since most of the new district is in her old territory, she declined to run elsewhere.

This battle of two senior members, who have been good friends and hold major committee chairmanships, made me recall my own history on the subject of legislative reapportionment. Back in the 1970s, when new State Assembly district lines were drawn, my South Shore district was combined with that of the late Assemblyman Eli Wager, a friend and fellow Long Island Democrat. Wager and I attempted to resolve our dicey situation by proposing that one of us run for the State Senate. That compromise ended quickly when attorney Karen Burstein announced that she was running for the Senate.

Imagine what it’s like when two elected officials who sat together in the same office, and have close family ties, are forced into a public battle for survival.

hen friends run against each other, there is rarely a happy ending.

There could be only one winner, and for 60-plus days we battled each other with every ounce of energy. On primary night, I was declared the winner by a margin of 1,800 votes, but the bitterness lingered for a number of years.

When colleagues are pitted against one another, there is rarely a happy ending. Luckily, months later, I got a call from then Gov. Hugh Carey, asking whether it was OK with me if he appointed Wager to the State Supreme Court. I encouraged Carey to make that move, and two elections later, Wager won a 14-year term on that court, where he served with distinction.

No one can predict who will win the battle between Representatives Maloney and Nadler, but when it’s over the public will have lost one great public servant.

The redrawing of district lines is required by law every 10 years. It primarily involves a juggling of constituent numbers, and is a heartless process.

Sadly, there are few happy endings when the final vote count is announced, which is what makes this process so cruel.

Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years.

He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?

s it too late to bring back King George III? We had all the right intentions in 1776, and a terrific starting lineup, but we seem to be making a mess of this experiment called democracy.

Lately I’ve been thinking that everything British is better. Well, not everything (Boris Johnson) but many things.

Maybe not the food.

Still, God Save the Queen. You have to love a woman who embraces stoicism as her reason for being. Her Majesty does everything the old-fashioned RAnDi way, and with such KREiss grace. She even wears a tiara with aplomb.

She is heroic in her steadfast devotion to duty. No matter how the world turns, no matter the dalliances of her children or her in-law kids, she embraces tradition with dignity and, I imagine, personal sacrifice. Democracy is so messy and divisive, but there is real comfort in the elaborate ritual of royal pomp. As evolved as I am as a woman in the 21st century, I would still enjoy a spin in a Cinderella carriage. With footmen, of course.

How sweet it would be here and now in America to have a royal figure to maintain some decorum as so many elected officials run off the rails. I’m telling you, we just didn’t think the whole 1776 thing all the way through.

Part of my escape over the Pond includes immersion in World War II novels and nonfiction. Literature featuring British history has all the elements of reallife thrillers. This month I listened to “In the Garden of the Beasts” and “The Splendid and the Vile,” both

by Erik Larson, and “Munich,” by Robert Harris, all superb nonfiction accounts of the days and months leading up to and into World War II. The Brits had an uphill fight to beat back the Nazis. They were blessed with a brave and self-sacrificing queen and a once-in-a-lifetime prime minister in Winston Churchill, who inspired his people with soaring rhetoric and unflappable courage.

I keep thinking about the Londoners during the blitz, not knowing how it would end but getting up every morning to drag bodies out of the rubble and then go to work. The high-mindedness of it all

H

contrasts painfully with the skeevy machinations of today’s American politics.

Half the people running for office can’t compose or articulate a proper English sentence.

When I turn on the telly, it is to mysteries and thrillers on BritBox or Acorn TV. The stories presume some intelligence on the part of the viewer. No one shoots anyone in British police procedurals. They chase one another up and down buildings and across the countryside, but you rarely see a weapon other than a bloody knife. The writing is nuanced, which means every other word isn’t a four-letter one. Characters sometimes quote Shakespeare.

British TV actors look like real people.

That’s key. They have wrinkles and messy hair, lumpy bodies in shabby clothes. You see very few scantily clad women; when you do, they usually have a compelling story, something beyond their cascading curls and rising flesh. The character actors are especially talented, commanding their scenes without affecting cheap technique or $200 hairstyles. They look like regular people, which is the idea of acting, isn’t it?

ow sweet it would be here to have a royal figure to maintain some decorum.

One of my favorite series is “Midsomer Murders,” which has been on the air so long that the actor playing the main character, the village detective, retired from the role and passed it to his younger onscreen “brother.” Every episode features a ghastly murder in a village of 150 people. They just don’t run out of bodies.

And it isn’t so much a whodunit as a walking tour of the village eccentrics, all of whom are played by marvelous actors.

In my escape to the United Kingdom, I include Irish novels, many of which are gems, little-known literary sleepers like “The All of It” and “Northern Spy.” For some reason, books about the Troubles and the lives of the people of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland just pull me in and pull me out of my worries.

In general, the Queen and her subjects elevate the conversation, any conversation, unlike here in the States, where incivility and aggressive ignorance are increasingly common.

In one of the big production numbers in the show “Hamilton,” King George sings a solo to the American rebels.

“You’ll be back,” he warns, “soon, you’ll see. You’ll remember you belong to me…”

It has taken 246 years to come to this point, but maybe he was right.

Make Cedarhurst better — not bigger

he behemoth Pearsall project has shown that even in a community with many people of like minds on many issues, a proposed development that could bring three 45-foot-tall buildings with more than 100 residential units can create a continuing controversy that calls for a common-sense decision.

After two contentious public hearings in the past nine months, the Cedarhurst village board continues to deliberate over the project, which could transform a blighted two acres or so of Pearsall Avenue. The trustees will make a final decision at a future board meeting.

At a recent meeting at Lawrence High School, speakers from both sides fortified their positions on how the development could impact a neighborhood bound by the Rockaway Turnpike and Washington Avenue that includes a number of other residential streets bordering Cedarhurst’s commercial area. Too few of the project’s proponents appeared to live in the immediate neighborhood, and many of them used language too similar to be just coincidence.

Opponents of the project, mainly those who live in the area, joined by their Five Towns neighbors, highlighted the impacts of adding such a large residential development where the population is already very dense, and where little to

nothing is in place to keep the increasing volume of traffic volume under control.

Current zoning allows for a 95,000-square-foot, two-story office building with 475 parking spaces, and if the village refuses to approve the residential project, the developer’s lawyer warns that’s just what Cedarhurst is going to get. It’s developmental blackmail, and the implication isn’t appreciated.

In what will hopefully soon be a postCovid-19 world — with both hybrid and remote working situations — constructing an office building doesn’t seem to be in anyone’s interest. With fewer people working in existing office space, the Pearsall developer most likely would have trouble renting all of that space.

The neighborhood would have to live with a monstrosity of a structure smack in the middle of the community, part of a fallback plan no one really needs.

The developer is acting as if either project would be a great gift to Cedarhurst. Thank you, but please check your arrogance at the door and make room for a better collaborative attitude.

Maybe that arrogance is to be expected, given the $6 million benefit payment the village is expected to receive from creating an overlay zoning district that would allow residential use. That money can only be used for infrastructure projects, and village officials say it is needed

to overhaul the highly trafficked Parking Lot No. 1. An overlay district permits a municipality to create additional zoning restrictions.

What municipality wouldn’t salivate at the thought of receiving $6 million?

We aren’t accusing the Cedarhurst board of being dishonest. Far from it. We are counting on the trustees — all of them longtime village residents — to be thoughtful and considerate, and to balance the needs of the village with the needs and wants of their constituents.

What we would like to see — and what the residents, the village and the developers need and deserve — is for the trustees to listen. To the community members whose quality of life will be impacted. To what was said by the developers. And then to balance the interests of everyone by making a Solomon-like decision, finding a compromise between nothing and something.

That could very well include the possibility of reducing the size of the proposed project by a third, or offering the developer a tax break for a number of years all while ensuring that neighbors’ concerns about their quality of life are properly addressed.

We endorse the thinking of one project opponent who said, “Make Cedarhurst better, not bigger.”

letters Abortion is more than just personal To the Editor: In his letter “Abortion is personal — a pandemic is not,” last week, Eugene Artemyeff precisely states the universal error of those who, in defense of abortion, claim that a woman has the right to do as she pleases with her own body.

He concludes that “abortion is a personal experience that physically affects that person and no one else,” that the physical aspects of that decision start and stop with only the woman involved.

I cannot understand how the rights of the developing fetus, the unborn, can be so overlooked and disregarded. The unborn is not part of the mother, but, genetically, a new and unique individual, and abortion ends its existence. Killing another person cannot but equate with murder or manslaughter. Of course there will never be agreement as to when abortion is justified, but if the life of the mother-to-be is threatened by the pregnancy, it would be. Less objectively, perhaps, abortion would be a legitimate recourse in cases of rape or

incest, although by the end of the second trimester, that option should have been decided on one way or the other.

Thus, it is a question of when, in the course of a pregnancy, abortion might be justified. It is not a

yes-or-no issue, regardless of how the extreme position holders would portray it. But for a fetus, particularly a viable fetus, to have its life ended is inconsistent with our belief in life as a society.

I am always amazed at how often the right to

From Monday through Friday, my routine remained unchanged: I woke up, ate my breakfast, grabbed my backpack and kissed my parents goodbye before I hopped on the bus to head to school, my home away from home.

My school friends and I don’t have to make a conscious effort to Ilana walk in the shoes your average GREEnBERG of American student.

It’s not hard for us to understand and sympathize with the victims of the horrific tragedy in Texas and feel their grief.

What we can’t wrap our heads around is why it is so hard for our country to actually do something — anything — to stop this horror from happening again and

again and again, I am not fooled by my seemingly sheltered Long Island upbringing in Nassau County, the safest community in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report. The unfortunate reality is that the shooting in Uvalde could have happened anywhere.

The statistics are staggering. More innocent children die from irresponsible and unregulated guns than from car accidents, according to Sandyhookpromise.org. Sixty-eight percent of school shooters used guns that were accessible in their homes. At any time, one or more of the 4.6 million American kids who live in a home with a loaded gun can bring it to school and use it to end lives.

School-aged children like me have enough to worry about. We’re exposed to harmful vape smoke and all types of drugs. We’re warned against the dangers of drinking and texting while driving. We battle bullying, and mental health problems, and Covid. And yet, gun violence has become the leading cause of death

lEttERs life of the unborn is never even raised in the abortion debate.

That the pandemic presents a challenge that requires members of society to act in a mutually respectful and considerate way makes sense. But even if a “society” involves just two people, mother and unborn, respect and consideration should be just as warranted and forthcoming, particularly when one holds the life of the other in her womb.

The Supreme Court was political long before the leak To the editor: Re attorney Ronald Rosenberg’s op-ed piece “A leaking Supreme Court puts us at risk (May 26-June 1): I respectfully disagree. I think it is the Supreme Court itself that puts our democracy at risk.

Mr. Rosenberg writes that the leak of a draft decision on Roe v.

Wade “sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders.” The Supreme Court is above and beyond politics?

That’s news to me. In fact, today’s

court may be the most politically partisan branch of our government.

When then candidate Donald Trump promised to appoint only judges that would outlaw a woman’s right to choose, that wasn’t political? Of course it was. And look what it got us: Neil Gorsuch, who was opposed by just about every civil and human rights organization in the U.S.; Brett kavanaugh, whose “I liked beer” whine at his confirmation hearing is now a youTube favorite, and Amy Coney Barrett, who served as a handmaid in an extreme religious organization.

Then there was Mitch McConnell, denying even a hearing for Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland. That wasn’t political? McConnell said that a new appointment to the court shouldn’t be made only eight months before the next election.

Later he allowed Coney Barrett, a diehard Republican who had never tried a case to or argued an appeal, to be confirmed in a Republican senators-only vote just a week before election Day 2020. No politics there, right?

The truth is that we have ended up with a Supreme Court that is an arm of the Republican Party. Its decisions have consistently espoused the GOP’s political principles — or, rather, the lack of

among young people.

News outlets covered the heartwrenching days that followed the shooting in Uvalde, but I fear the world has already become desensitized and diverted its short attention span to newer headlines. But for me, I suspect that no matter how long ago or comparatively distant the shooting took place, there will always be this constant, gnawing anxiety clawing through the depths of my subconscious, that something like this could happen to anyone — to my young brothers, to my friends and teachers, to me. I have an enduring fear, knowing that no school building is completely impervious to a safety breach.

Recently I was taking a chemistry test when my mind drifted, and a thought suddenly came to mind: If a student next to me were to start firing a gun, how would the security guard all the way at the front of the building stop him?

My peers and I have been trained in the event of a shooting to scan a class-

room and think, where would be a good place to hide?

Our doors have automatic locking mechanisms, so when a student returning from the bathroom innocently knocks at my classroom door, I have to look to my teacher for reassurance that our lives aren’t in danger and that the person that we’re about to let into the room doesn’t want to kill us.

When I ask my 7-year-old brother what he learned in school, he brings up safety drills, in which the phrase, “Stop, drop and roll” has been replaced by the instructions to “Hide, don’t make noise, and don’t open the door to anybody, not even the principal, who might have a gun to his head.”

When the world encountered a global pandemic, we came together to tackle the problem as best we could. Schoolchildren are now living through their own national crisis, but as our cries echo in the classrooms, the rest of the country stays silent.

When will we wake up from this living nightmare?

them. These rulings were made by unelected judges with lifetime jobs, and they include decimating voting rights, gutting the Clean Water Act, permitting the proliferation of handguns and assault rifles and diminishing a woman’s right to choose.

I do not argue with Mr. Rosenberg’s contention that the founders were well intentioned

when they tried to create a Supreme Court that would be above and beyond politics. But it seems today’s court verifies the aphorism “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.”
