A yellow crane lowered the final beam into place to complete the steel structure that will become St. John’s Episcopal Hospital’s new Ambulatory Pavilion, which is expected to open next spring, across the street from the Far Rockaway hospital on Beach 19th Street.

The moment was celebrated by a gathering of hospital staff and elected officials on July 7, at a “topping off ” ceremony. The crowd watched a massive crane grab the last roof beam from the ground and lift it to the top of the four-story steel building skeleton on Brookhaven Avenue.

“I never thought this day would come,” hospital CEO Gerard Walsh said. “This is something we’ve been planning for a number of years. This is pretty significant for us to be able to put a fourstory, state-of-the-art ambulatory structure here for the community and the people of the Rockaways that we serve.”

The Ambulatory Pavilion will have primary

care and outpatient behavioral health services on the first floor, more behavioral health services on the second floor; and ambulatory services such as oncology, infusion and endoscopy on the third and fourth floors.

By focusing on preventive care, early diagnosis, care coordination, enhanced access to quality care, coexisting mental health and implementation of evidence-based protocols, the facility will help the hospital provide better care, and improve the health of the surrounding community, hospital officials noted.

“Rockaway families will be able to access primary care, specialty care and outpatient behavioral health services all in one place,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. said, adding that better access to preventive care and mental health services should keep the emergency room from overcrowding. “We know that Rockaway has disproportionate rates (of) cancer,” Richards added, “so more cancer treatment Continued on page 12

At JCC, reconnecting seniors after Covid-19’s isolation By lISA MArGArIA lmargaria@liherald.com

To break seniors out of their Covid-necessitated isolation, the Marion & Aaron Gural JCC, in Cedarhurst, has established two new community-building, discussion-based group programs for people over 55: the Friendship Circle, for men and women, and the Men’s Club.

The groups were added to the Gural JCC’s long list of adult programs and services in April with a focus on connecting people, especially those emerging from the pandemic. Compared with younger people, seniors “can fall through the cracks more easily,” Andrew Kahn, the JCC’s older adult community

specialist, said.

“While all the groups provide socialization, and each one has a focus,” whether for Holocaust survivors, people with traumatic brain injuries, or dancing, knitting or books, Kahn said, the Friendship Circle and Men’s Club “were specifically about bringing them out of isolation and together with other seniors.”

The aim is to help those who were isolated to reconnect socially. The United Jewish Appeal Federation of New York — a partner of the Gural JCC — introduced the concept of Isolation to Connection. The UJA supported the programs with a grant given to the JCC in February. The JCC declined to reveal the grant’s value.

e try to focus on things that are happy, things that make people become more grateful.

AndreW KAhn Group leader

The Friendship Circle and Men’s Club will give seniors purpose, community “and make them feel cared for,” Kahn said, adding that “a lot of seniors feel like they’re irrelevant or not vital, but they have so much life

experience” to share.

Kahn makes the most of his background as a longtime yoga instructor and holistic health teacher, bringing knowledge of medication, exercise and stretching into the meetings. “He just came on board, and he’s working hard to accomplish his goals,” said Mary Sheffield, director of the JCC’s Older Adult Department program.

Kahn opens the Friendship Circle, which meets on Mondays

from 2 to 3:30 p.m., with chair exercises and stretching. Afterward, he facilitates a group discussion among the seniors, which in the past have ranged from genealogy to life accomplishments. “We try to focus on things that are happy,” Kahn said, “things that make people become more grateful.” The Friendship Circle has roughly 18 members.

Cedarhurst board approves Pearsall Project

NASSAU HERALD — July 14, 2022

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

The Cedarhurst village board unanimously approved the implementation of an overlay district and a slightly scaled down version of the Pearsall Project on Monday by lopping off a floor from each of the three buildings that will be built and 14 units from the plan’s original total of 112 units.

The controversial project was the subject of two wellattended public hearings in the Lawrence High School cafeteria on Aug. 4 of last year and June 8. A majority of Cedarhurst and Five Towns residents opposed the project based on the possibility of increased traffic volume in an already densely populated area and the impact on their quality of life that a three four-story building development with 112 apartments on 2.5 acres on Pearsall Avenue could create.

“We’ve taken into consideration all of the public comments that were received and took into consideration documents that were submitted, the emails that were sent in,” Cedarhurst Mayor Benjamin Weinstock said at the July 11 meeting.

Establishing the overlay district allows the village to change the zoning to permit the Pearsall Project to be built. The new project will have no less than the number of parking spaces required by the village code and will have two surface parking spaces at each building for delivery vehicles. With no overlay district, the current zoning allows the developer, Pearsall Rock LLC, led by Tommy Lieberman, to construct a 95,000-square-foot office building with 475 parking spaces.

The overlay district gives the village the opportunity

A ModIfIed veRSIon of the Pearsall Project was approved on Monday. From left were Cedarhurst Trustees Daniel Plaut and Israel Wasser, Mayor Benjamin Weinstock, Trustee Myrna Zisman. to adopt a zoning code that provide additional zoning benefits. The developers at Pearsall Rock LLC will widen a section to the entire length of Pearsall Avenue by five feet. The village will construct stacking right and left turning lanes on Pearsall Avenue — meant to help mitigate the heavy volume of traffic on Rockaway Turnpike.

No public comment was allowed on the Pearsall Project at the Monday meeting, however the 10 people who attended voiced their opposition even to the scaled down version by grousing about the decision after the 5-0 vote by the Cedarhurst board.

Instead of the original $6 million, the village will receive a trust fund of $4 million from the developer in

exchange for the incentive zoning. That trust fund can only be used for capital improvement projects. That money cannot be used for paying operating expenses or for anything other than capital improvement.

The board adopted an environmental assessment form, outlining the potential environmental impacts of the application as part of the application process.

The board also adopted documents that go through, item by item, each concern that was raised by the public about the project, which is available to be viewed by the public upon contacting the village.

Inwood Community Watch convenes again

By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

Inwood’s Community Watch group — which aims to address community concerns and keep Inwood clean and safe — will resume in-person meetings next month at the Five Towns Community Center after a nearly 2-year pause due to Covid.

The Community Watch group consists of nearly 50 Inwood residents who keep watch of the community and voice their concerns to the police, the fire department, sanitation or any laws or regulations enforcement group.

The watch group is mainly concerned with the dumping of trash, abandoned cars, prostitution and trafficking, package and catalytic converter theft, drag racing, drug dealers, speeding vehicles, including motorcycles, unlicensed ATVs and other quality of life issues such as loud noise.

Group members are observant of their surroundings, whether they hear a suspicious noise outside of their window or see something unusual while driving home from work.

“Its kind of like — everybody all the time, we keep our eyes open,” Inwood resident Sasha Young said, adding that “the teens have played a big part,” in observing the community because they are out in it most. “We try to get someone within every few blocks so that we can keep, you know, a pretty good idea of what's going on.”

Herald file photo

Inwood’S CoMMunIty wAtCh Group will meet in-person for the first time since 2020 this August at the Five Towns Community Center in Lawrence.

Recruiting for Community Watch is done through Facebook and community groups, such as Inwood Lawrence Community News, and word of mouth at Gammy’s Pantry. Young is the director of the community pantry that distributes, food, clothes and other necessary items at the Community Center.

The watch group typically meets monthly at the Community Center at 270 Lawrence Ave. in Lawrence, but the last meeting was in October 2020 due to Covid.

During that meeting, the 4th Precinct came to discuss community issues, the

same that stand today, with the nearly 30 previous members.

“Now that we're open after Covid, we'll have a nice in-person meeting so we can eat and hang out and just get people, you know, back on the same page,” Young said. The next meeting is on Aug. 2.

The group doesn’t just speak once monthly.” It’s very quick to be able to communicate what's going on (in) real-time,” through social media and instant messaging, Young said.

Young posts a lot of Community Watch information on her personal Facebook

page and on the Gammy’s Pantry page, Community Watch member Jennifer Weisel, a Cedarhurst resident, said. “We notify the community about what’s going on to try and stop the crime,” Weisel said, adding that the group tries to post as much as they can online to keep each other informed.

Though the watch group adds security to the community, it is still not enough, Weisel said. “I guess the crime rate is just so high right now,” she said. “I mean I feel like things have gotten a little bit better, but it's still too much.”

A lot of Community Watch members are also part of the Youth Advocacy Group, made up of roughly 50 members who discuss community concerns monthly with the 4th Precinct to better the community for families.

Young, the Town of Hempstead’s 3rd district representative to the Nassau County Police Department, said her mother, Valerie Waldo Hooper, an Inwood resident for nearly two decades, unintentionally started the watch group before moving out of Inwood four years ago.

She, “liked to keep everything sort of in order,” Young said. After Hooper moved to West Virginia, we just kind of stepped into the role,” Young said, adding that her mother was, “nosy,” for a good reason, and “in everybody's business. Just trying to keep our neighborhood safe.”

North Woodmere couple charged in robbery A man and woman from North Woodmere allegedly robbed a North Merrick BP gas station at gunpoint at 7:10 p.m. on July 5.

Jerald Gadsden, 31, and Heleena Velazquez-Krupp, 38, both of Hewlett Drive, allegedly entered the station on Merrick Avenue and Gadsden approached the employee, a 62-year-old man, pulled out a gun and demanded money, police said.

The man, who police said feared for his life, opened the register and handed Gadsden an unspecified amount of money.

Both he and Velazquez-Krupp left on foot before the police responded.

Unofficial results from Monday's Sanitary District 1 election has Hewlett resident Gabriel Boxer defeating Inwood resident Gwynette Campbell 388 to 295 for the four-year term as a commissioner for the Town of Hempstead’s Sanitary District 1.

Not counting absentee ballots.

However, SD 1 Superintendent George Pappas told the Herald that because of the absentee ballots "have to go to court," so the results are unofficial. Boxer said.

"The district was served papers. I can't discuss further now. Crazy stuff happening.” As of press time, there was no court date scheduled.

Incumbent Commissioner James Vilardi ran unopposed for the five-year term and received 552 votes.

Boxer is the CEO of both Kosher

Campbell served roughly one month on the board after being appointed to finish former Commissioner Lino Viola’s term who retired in April. She has served on the board of the Five Towns Community Center and is its current president.

Vilardi, a Hewlett resident, was appointed to the board in 2005. His other board experience includes serving as commissioner on Nassau County Bridge Authority, Executive Director of TownVillage Aircraft Safety and Noise Abatement Committee, South Nassau/Sinai advisory board chair. He is involved with the Five Towns Community Center and other food banks and Covid advocacy organizations.

Assemblyman Brown busy in first months Since being sworn as the state assemblyman for the 20th Assembly District in April, Cedarhurst resident Ari Brown, who also represents the village as its deputy mayor, has been busy helping constituents.

Brown helped to obtain $25,000 for the Nassau Library System that assists in financially supporting the Hewlett-Woodmere and Peninsula public libraries, along with Island Park, Long Beach and Oceanside libraries in the district. The money will be used to fund projects and programs. He is a ranking Republican member on the People with Disabilities Committee and a member of the Education Committee.

“Services such as wireless internet access, educational resources and community development programs are important tools for students and job seekers alike,” Brown stated in a news release. “These resources make it possible for those who do not have access to a computer at home to apply for jobs and aid, a safe space for local kids to study and engage with their peers, and opportunity for locals to connects with their community through activities such as public gardens and art workshops.”

In early June, Brown voted to pass his first of three bills, which provides a property tax exemption to an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Lawrence. “Beis Medrash is an important center of worship for hundreds of families that resident in the Five Towns of Long Island,” he said in a release. “I was proud to help them receive this tax-exempt status, which is guaranteed to all religious institutions.”

In response to the proposed rule change that would give the State Education Department the authority to control the curriculum of religious and private schools, Brown sent as letter to Commissioner Betty Rosa that underscored his concerns.

“The proposed changes outlined in New York State

Education’s pending rule, although well intended, are poorly conceptualized and contradictory to the mission of the New York State Education Department, which is to provide quality and fair education for all New York students, Brown stated in a release. “By creating a direct oversight of the curriculum of private/religious schools, the State Education Department will have an unprecedented and controlling ‘final say’ as to the education of their students.”

Public comments were accepted until May 31. A deci-

sion by the Board of Regents is expected in the fall.

7 Dear Fellow Residents,

PEARSALL AVENUE

NASSAU HERALD — July 14, 2022

I was present at the community board meeting hosted by the Village of Cedarhurst Board of Trustees, June 8, 2022, regarding the proposed Pearsall project. I found the meeting to be incomplete, rife with shortcomings, misleading and improperly conducted. Verbal threats were made by the developer that if the variance sought is not approved for the development of a large residential property, then commercial development would commence as of right, which would have a greater adverse impact on the community than residential development in his claim.

However, based on conversations with expert real estate investors and developers, the consistent consensus is that commercial development of this site would not be undertaken because it would be disastrous for the developer. The limited market demand does not justify huge commercial development and there would be no return on his investment for the developer. Such a project would be a huge financial loss to the developer. Thus, the developer’s threat to develop the site for commercial use was an empty threat offered merely to coerce the board and community at large into capitulating to the developer’s demands.

That is precisely why no study or plans were presented or referenced at the hearing by the developer to show that any effort was made to study the viability of an option to build commercial property in the event a permit to develop residential property would not be approved or granted. Nor was any study presented to show that commercial development would have a greater impact on the community than residential development. Such information is critical to the decision-making process.

In addition, when the developer spoke, he represented that it would make no sense to build a smaller residential development with less units. This representation was made without any backup information, studies or data. The developer should have been prepared with concrete, objective and independent support for his representation. This requires independent study of the profitability of different alternatives.

The developer should also have had backup information as to the profits and expenses of the proposed project and a smaller project. The developer should not be permitted to rest on a mere representation that building smaller units makes no sense simply because he deems it not as profitable. The fact that a larger project may be more beneficial to the developer does not necessarily outweigh the costs and impact to the community. The Board and community should most certainly have the benefit of knowledge as to the basis of his opinion of profitability. The developer should be permitted to profit fairly from this project, but it must be balanced against the substantial cost to the community.

It was apparent that ringers aligned with developer appeared at the meeting to support the developer’s position. These people expressed the opinion that the units proposed by the developer are needed for seniors and young couples, as they would be more affordable than existing inventory in the community.

However, no comparables or study supporting this proposition were presented at the meeting. Nor was there any study of pricing comparisons or anticipated pricing of the proposed units. There remains a strong possibility that the proposed units will be substantially more costly than existing available units.

During the hearing, the ringers touted the proposed development based on the representation that it would be affordable housing. However, the representation is essentially meaningless since there was no price commitment offered by the developer and no indication that older or middle-income residents would be able to afford it.

There’s no question that a large-scale development project will have significant impact on the community. This impact will include increased congestion, disruption of existing traffic patterns adversely effecting current residents, existing businesses, and emergency workers. It will also have unanticipated consequences and costs to the community, as well as disruption and risk caused by construction.

Standard practice for the purchase of property that will be submitted for zoning changes intended for development is that there are at least two price options. First, the developer agrees to pay a lower price if a desired variance is not granted. Second, the developer agrees to pay an additional amount known as a “kicker” in the event the desired variance is granted, and a desired zoning change is approved. Further, the larger the density of the project, the larger the kicker. During the meeting, the developer failed to advise that he would receive a price discount if a large-density variance is not approved.

The developer purchased the land at a lower price because there was no variance to build a large-scale project. Further, the seller acknowledged that he sold the property for less than market value. Between the lower price and the lower construction cost, obviously, the developer may still profit handsomely from a smaller development project. Absent back up of documentation, such as a purchase agreement, there is no reason to accept the developer’s representations as to what he paid for the property and his allegations that it’s not feasible to build a smaller residential project. Similarly, during his testimony at the hearing, the seller, withheld that he would make substantially more money if the zoning changes were approved. This creates an inherent conflict of interest on the part of the seller and diminishes the seller’s credibility.

To exacerbate the matter, separate from the proposed Pearsall project, there are currently three other major development projects underway: (1) a proposed major housing development at The Woodmere Country Club property, (2) an Amazon distribution center on Rockaway Turnpike and (3) the new Rambam Mesivta high school for boys on Mott Avenue, diagonal (across Rockaway Turnpike) from Pearsall Avenue. The prudent approach is to wait until these three other pending community projects are completed in full, in order to evaluate the impact that these will have on the community before the Pearsall project is even considered. Our lives will be negatively impacted by adding to our current limited resources and infrastructure. As it is, current traffic congestion is already intolerable, unacceptable and dangerous.

Additionally, there are more major developments proposed in the Five Towns: 25 Wanser, 370 Bayview Avenue, the Redfern Avenue project, and Franklin Avenue.

And right over the 878 in Far Rockaway, Rockaway Village Apartments (off Mott Avenue), an affordable development, has 693 units completed and will ultimately have 1693 units. They have garages and covered parking for cars that will also cause more traffic and safety concerns.

Community safety is at serious risk. Currently, our emergency evacuation route does not work. Before the Pearsall project can be allowed to move forward, we need all applicable government agencies to evaluate the impact that the Pearsall project will have on our already stressed emergency evacuation infrastructure. Otherwise, sanctioning the Pearsall project will place human lives in peril.

Concerned Cedarhurst Resident

Lastly, the area that the Pearsall project seeks to build on is part of an “overlay district” which will allow for continued, unfettered development. Once the developer is granted rights to build, it will trigger a chain reaction, where others will be allowed to continue building or making changes to the community.

The ripple effect will be ruinous.

Bringing local sports home every week

Herald sports Ducks carry momentum into second half

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

F

or the first time under thirdyear manager Wally Backman, the Long Island Ducks enter the second half of the Atlantic League Baseball schedule without the security of a playoff spot.

The four-time league champion Ducks completed the first half July 5 with a record of 36-30, but that left them more than a dozen games off the pace of North Division runaway winner Southern Maryland.

“We made some changes with our pitching staff and I’m pleased with how we finished the first half,” Backman said.

“We were 10 games over .500 in June and we’re going in the right direction.

“We’re not satisfied with our record and we know we’re capable of much more,” he added. “We know we’re better going into the second half. Southern Maryland had a great first half. We played them tough head-to-head. It’s just a lot of teams that beat us couldn’t beat them.”

Entering the second half, Backman said the Ducks’ five-man starting pitching rotation is comprised of Stephen Tarpley, Scott Harkin, Akeel Morris, Joe Iorio and Anderson DeLeon. Brett Kennedy, who had a team-leading 3.03 ERA, had his contract purchased by the Boston Red Sox on May 24. Iorio and DeLeon, who began the season in the bullpen, were both members of the Ducks’ 2019 championship team.

“Joe and Anderson have made our rotation better,” Backman said. “We’re going with five guys for now and I may even bump it to six with Bennett Perry coming back from injury.”

Tarpley, a lefthander who appeared in one game for the New York Mets last season, split six decisions in the first half with a 3.59 ERA and a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 53 to 13.

“We had a cold start to the year, but we’ve picked up our game a lot and we have a lot of promise,” Tarpley said.

“Everyone is exciting about what we can accomplish in the second half.”

The Ducks’ closer on a given night varies based on matchups. Tyler Webb (2.33 ERA) has 6 saves, and Sandy Baez (1.71) and Nick Goody (2.45) both have 5.

Regarding the offense, Backman said: “Right now our lineup is pretty set. We don’t have a big bopper who’s going to hit 30-40 home runs and can change a game on one swing of the bat.”

The Ducks went deep only 43 times in 66 games, ranking 9th in the 10-team league in the category.

“Our ballpark is tough to hit homers in regardless,” Backman added. “So we have to continue to manufacture as much offense as possible and we have the personnel to do it.”

STEphEN TarpLEY carrIES a 3.59 ERA into the second half of the season to go with 53 strikeouts against only 13 walks.

First baseman Sam Travis has been Long Island’s most consistent hitter, Backman said. In the first half, Travis batted .314 with a team-leading 8 home runs and 53 RBIs. “Sam’s been hitting very well for us after not getting a lot of playing time in AAA in recent years,” Backman noted. “He’s playing every day for us and he’s right up there among the league leaders in RBIs despite missing a couple of weeks.”

Ten-year MLB veteran Alejandro De Aza, who played 108 games with Lancaster last season, is raking at the plate in his first year with the Ducks. The 38-year-old outfielder had a team-best .325 average in the first half with 5 homers, 32 RBIs and 34 runs. He’s part of a deep outfield that includes Johnni Turbo, L.J. Mazzilli and Dustin Woodcock.

The infield took a hit when the Mets purchased the contract of shortstop Deven Marrero, who anchored the Ducks defense. “We lost Deven who was by far the best shortstop in the league,” Backman said. “Good for him, but that’s a hard position to fill.”

Kevin Whatley made his Ducks debut

FIrST BaSEMaN SaM Travis, No. 26, has been the Ducks’ most consistent hitter and has 8 homers, 53 RBIs and a .314 batting average.

July 5 and will see time at shortstop along with Vladamir Frias, the primary second baseman so far. Joe DeCarlo also plays second and splits time at catcher along with Austin Rei. Deibinson Romero returned at third base and had 7 homers and 30 RBIs in the first half.

“We just have to go out there and play the way we’re capable of playing,” Backman said. “When all is said and done, we should be right there in contention in the end.”

2012 championship team honored

The Ducks hosted a 10th anniversary celebration of their 2012 Atlantic League championship team on July 2.

In attendance were two integral parts of the championship club. They included

shortstop Dan Lyons, who was named the 2012 Championship Series Most Valuable Player after his walk-off bunt single in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game Five won the title for Long Island, and outfielder Kraig Binick, a native of Hicksville, who was an Atlantic League All-Star that year and batted .405 during the playoffs. Lyons threw out a ceremonial first pitch to Binick prior to the game against York.

“Our run to the championship in 2012 is one of the most memorable stories in Atlantic League history,” said Ducks president/GM Michael Pfaff. “On this milestone anniversary of that incredible season, we welcomed back some distinguished alumni and celebrated their accomplishments.”

The coronavirus also hit the Rockaways hard: The community had the second-highest death toll in New York City, according to the city’s health department.

The new ambulatory facility will be helpful not only to Rockaway, but to surrounding communities as well, Assemblyman Khaleel Anderson said. “Not just in the peninsula — you’re in Long Island, (and) folks in Inwood and in Cedarhurst use this hospital,” he said.

Walsh blueprinted the project by “really hearing what the community needs,” Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer-Amato said. “We’ve done that through surveys and asking it on the street, at our civic meetings, at street fairs.” Pheffer-Amato added, “We want this hospital to grow and be a solid point in our community, of our health care, to expand throughout the peninsula.”

“Just recently, the Congressional Appropriations Committee approved $3 million to renovate our behavioral health,” the hospital’s vice president of external affairs, Renee Hastick-Motes, said, “so we’re just waiting for the Senate and the White House to approve that, but we know they’re going to do that.”

“We need to take care of the entire community all across the peninsula,” Walsh said, “and the only way we can do that is to expand ambulatory services, expand our population health programs, and treat people where they live. And this building is a big milestone in us being able to complete our mission in taking care of our community. And the community deserves state-of-the-art care and state-of-the-art facilities like this.”

Gural JCC aims to end seniors’ Covid-19 isolation continued from front page and sharing experiences, and the feeling that we’re not alone, and we’re here to fight loneliness,” said Woodmere resident Asher Matathias, who is in both groups. He added that they make it possible for seniors to reconnect, “now that we seem to be coming out of the isolation that Covid has imposed.”

The Men’s Club is just getting off the ground, Kahn said, with a handful of members who meet every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to noon. They discuss current events, which sometimes leads the conversation into politics.

Although there are opposing political views, the environment is always respectful, Kahn said. Both groups, which have a suggested $2 donation for guests, meet at the JCC, at 207 Grove Ave. in Cedarhurst, and coffee, tea and snacks are served.

“We want to put the unity back in community,” Kahn said, adding, “The U in unity, it always starts with a person … who’s going to start being understanding and listening and having that kind of approach. So I think we all can. And we need to, because it makes for a better community, a better society.”

When seniors call the JCC, they can be connected to programs and services that match best their interests and needs. “We’re making sure that a senior that calls in doesn’t just get that one-time call,” Sheffield said, explaining that when the JCC refers seniors to programs or outside services, such as its food pantry, the Department of Social Services or Meals on Wheels, “we will follow up to make sure that they have been able to go through the process” and get connected with what they need.

For more about the senior programs, call Kahn at (516) 569-6733 ext. 231.

Forever

‘Wild about Harry’

By Karen Bloom kbloom@liherald.com

H

arry Chapin’s tragic death is now decades behind us, but his music and philanthropy are

forever enshrined in Long Island’s collective consciousness. Stuart Markus, a longtime fixture on the local folk and acoustic scene, maintains his role as guardian of Chapin’s legacy, organizing the yearly memorial concert in Eisenhower Park.

Markus, who is based in Malverne, remains just as When: passionate about Chapin’s Monday, July 18 music and his humanitarian 7:15 p.m. zeal as when he began this Admission is free tribute event 19 years ago.

Where: Now in its 17th year at Harry Chapin Chapin’s namesake theater in Lakeside Theatre, the park, some 30 musicians Eisenhower Park, will gather with fans on East Meadow Monday, July 18, for “Just Wild About Harry.”

Despite the years that have passed since Chapin’s death on the Long Island Expressway en route to his ill-fated performance in Eisenhower Park in July 1981, the man and his music still resonates — especially here on Long Island.

In fact, several show regulars were among the crowd, according to Markus, when what was supposed to be a joyous event turned into a vigil.

“Harry is so beloved in memory on Long Island,” Markus says. “You don’t have to look too hard to find someone who met him, whose school he did a benefit for, or someone who’s been helped by one of his charities. It’s so meaningful for the music community to come together and, in effect, do the concert he might have given.”

And come together they do — year after year. “I never

expected it would go on this long,” Markus says. “It is such a wonderful concert and everyone has a great time, which is a tribute to what a great man Chapin was.”

The troubadour’s song catalogue is creatively interpreted by each act, who make it their own, while honoring Chapin. “We’ve had some amazing arrangements, from folky to country, torch-song style to hard rock,” adds Markus. “It’s really interesting to see what they do. I encourage them to make songs fresh. They’re not just reproducing them the way Harry did.”

This year’s lineup includes staples of the area’s music community; returnees Roger Street Friedman, Frank Walker, Patricia Shih & Stephen Fricker, Robinson Treacher, Debra Lynne & Lora Kendall, Joe Iadanza, MediaCrime, Judith Zweiman, Martha Trachtenberg, Robin Greenstein, Christine Solimeno, Grand Folk Railroad, and Russ Seeger. They are joined by Markus, who performs with his longtime folk trio Gathering Time, and newcomers country guitarist JD Leonard and the Famous Dr. Scanlon Band, who are popular for their acoustic Americana sound.

As is their signature, Markus and Gathering Time will once again perform “Taxi.” “It’s such an epic ballad,” he says, “and his breakthrough song. It’s just a masterwork of songcraft.”

Besides Chapin’s big hits, his lesser works are also given their due, and other favorites, including “Shooting Star” and “Story of a Life.” And, as always, in the true spirit of Harry Chapin, the show concludes with the entire group on stage in a rendition of “Circle,” Chapin’s traditional closing.

More than just a concert, the free event involves a food drive. Concertgoers are asked to bring donations of nonperishable items to support Long Island Cares, the regional food bank and humanitarian organization founded by Chapin in 1980.

“The annual Harry Chapin tribute concert is always a very special event for all of us at Long Island Cares because so many of Harry’s fans attend and are extremely supportive of Long Island Cares and the work we do to assist the more than 316,000 Long Islanders struggling with domestic hunger and high food insecurity,” Paule Pachter, the organization’s chief executive officer, said in a statement.

The concert, held rain or shine, will be livestreamed on Facebook.

NASSAU HERALD — July 14, 2022

‘All Shook Up’

A

Know any good mother-in-law jokes? mother-in-law: the only person for whom it’s still not “politically-incorrect” to malign. Offensive jokes bring

a chuckle: ■ I haven’t spoken to my mother-in-law in 6 months; I hate interrupting her.

■ Two men in a pub - one says to his buddy, “My mother-in-law’s an angel.”

His friend replies, “You’re lucky. Mine’s still alive.”

Yes, the stereotypical mother-in-law is seen as critical, controlling, interfering and demanding. Are these complaints valid? For some, yes. Especially for those who were dominating moms and who still display a strong need for control.

A dominating mother-in-law may be pitted against a strong personality much like her own. This is true if her son has “married his mom,” as some men do. Yes, a daughter-in-law can also be critical and controlling, making a mother-in-law feel like an outsider within her own family.

Conflicts often revolve around childrearing (you’re letting him do that?) finances (you spent what?) - food (that’s

what you made for dinner?) - holidays (it’s not the traditional way!) and boundary issues (It’s none of my business but….). The underlying dynamic of these conflicts is who exercises the control and who defines the correct way to do things.

It’s easy for both parties to view themselves as the victim, aware of what’s being done to them, blithely unaware of how they’re creating problems for others. When the conflict escalates, the supporting cast inda (husband, son) are often drawn in to play the role of rescuer.

I ask my husband to tell his mother to back off. He says she’s always been like that; she won’t change.

I tell my son to stand up to his wife.

Why does she always make the decisions? It should be our turn for the holidays, not her parents.

Of course, not all in-law relationships are troubled. Indeed, some people feel close to them, value them and find that their feelings deepen and strength-

en over time. True for me. Thanks daughters-in-law, Sara, Naomi, Jessica!

If you, however, are in a conflicted relationship with your inlaws, what can you do?

Advice for DaughtersIn-Law: Don’t be hungry for your mother-in-law’s approval for everything you do. She may not understand or appreciate the way you live your life. Let that be okay. Learn to hear her criticalness as part of her personality instead of aiming to hurt you. If her apadin comments have more impact on you than you’d like, see if you can become more assertive (but not aggressive) and less sensitive.

Advice for Mothers-In-Law: Expect that the next generation will do things differently from you. Let that be okay, even if you disagree with it. You may have been a great mom, but now is the time to retire from active duty and join the reserves. Be available for full-time involvement only if called up for emergencies. If you’ve put all your eggs in

one basket — living your life only for your children — it’s time to make a change. Turn your attention to creating a more meaningful life for yourself which, of course, will include enjoyable moments with your children and grandchildren.

Advice for Both Parties: Rather than grumbling about the other person, try to air out the differences that are most troublesome to you. Keep your expectations realistic, aiming for a reasonable compromise. Avoid widening the conflict by demanding that other family members align with you.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if in our families and in our country we can appreciate differences rather than malign the people who think differently! ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

There are sharks out there - somewhere

By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman accepted a reporter’s dare last Sunday and jumped into the Atlantic Ocean off Nickerson Beach – and came out unscathed.

Blakeman took a quick dip after two shark incidents – one a bight and the other a sighting - off Nassau’s South Shore waters, and unconfirmed reports of other sightings.

Nassau County officials reported that there was a suspected shark attack on June 30 off Jones Beach. A swimmer was taken by Nassau County police to Nassau University Medical Center. Another suspected attack was reported in Suffolk County a week ago Some – not us – said Blakeman was grandstanding. But he had been dared and he did want to demonstrate that Nassau’s South Shore waters were not akin to the 1975 hit movie “Jaws,” where beaches are closed and a hunt is on for a personeating shark. But that was a movie!

Earlier this week, Sen. Chuck Schumer couldn’t resist casting his line. In a press release, in big bold letters, Schumer proclaimed there were ‘THREE SHARK ATTACKS WITHIN WEEKS IN LONG ISLAND WATERS.” He released a letter he sent to Dr. Richard W. Spinrad, administrator of the National Oceanic and

Courtesy Nassau County Executive’s office

CApTIoN” CouNTy ExECuTIvE Bruce Blakeman took a dip in waters off Nickerson Beach last Sunday after reports of shark sightings off Nassau’s South Shore.

Atmospheric Administration urging the agency to “prioritize the deployment of additional shark monitoring an detection resources on the shores of Long Island.”

Despite comments from marine experts that shark attacks are extremely rare, some television news programs and newspapers – not ours – went Page One with the story, even quoting those same experts who called those news reports hype.

After his dip, Blakeman told assembled

reporters, “"I'm here today to stress that it is relatively safe to go in the water, but you have to take precautions he said.

Hempstead town supervisor Don Clavin also weighed in last week, saying, that Hempstead town shark patrols and lifeguard staffs are on “heightened alert” as Nassau’s swimming season gets into full gear. Nassau County has also steppedup its shark patrols in recent yeas, using helicopters, drones and watercraft and

beach vehicles to spot sharks.

Christopher Paparo, manager of the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at the State University at Stony Brook, said he saw little cause for general alarm. Warmer temperatures and more bait fish in Nassau’s South Shore waters have resulted in an increase in shark sightings in recent years, but Paparo added that we have been looking harder for them, too.

One-hundred pound sand tiger sharks and 140-pound sand bar sharks have been making a comeback to Northeastern waters as pollution has decreased in recent years, Paparo said. In a way, he said, the appearance of those sharks shows that our waters are becoming cleaner. Dolphins, too, are becoming more common in local waters.

“We have a healthier eco-system,” Paparo said.

He noted that in New York State, there are, on average about 1,000 fatal car accidents per year. “You have a better chance of getting hurt in your car than even in seeing a shark,” Paparo said.

Still, he said, “Would I want to be bitten by a shark? No.” There are precautions: try to swim with others around, If you see bunker (shark feed) in the water, stay on the beach till the feed drifts away.

Swim in a beach where there are lifeguards.

Avoid scary shark films.

Outgoing Commander of the Nassau County Committee of the American Legion Pat Alesia presented a $1,000 check to Steve Grogan, a vice-chairman of Nassau County Firefighters Operation Wounded Warrior. The Nassau County Committee presented the check to NCFFOWW to help wounded warriors after Grogan spoke at their convention on what Nassau firefighters have been doing for the wounded. County firefighters have been working to improve the lives of wounded servicemen and women here on Long Island and in hospitals up and down the east coast since 2004.

Q. We have been looking for real wood kitchen cabinets, and they really run the whole spectrum, from semi-reasonable to very expensive. A salesman told us that well-made cabinets and doors cost more because they’re made better, with more pieces fit together instead of from single panels. He told us that we’ll regret picking the cheaper doors, saying they won’t last. I know that over the years, our closet doors bind up from the changes in humidity, but is it really a significant cause to have to buy more expensive cabinets?

Wantagh

Spectacular- New To Market!

A. Yes. The most important factor when selecting materials for any type of construction, whether it’s a building or a cabinet, is to keep in mind that everything has movement, both internal and external. As I have written many times, wood was once the center of a tree, never intended in nature to be cut up and exposed. Once the wood is onte eeper taken from the heart of a tree, it begins to change shape based on temperature and moisture content.

Wood that is intended for structural use, like a common 2 x 4 wall stud, is typically dried to about 19 percent moisture content. This is done by laying the lumber outdoors in a covered area. Indoor lumber products are kiln dried to around 8 percent to balance out with indoor humidity, but the wood will not just stay at that moisture level. As the seasons change, wood products continue to adjust to the humidity they are subjected to.

It used to be that craftsmen let the finish trim moldings remain stored indoors, on site, to adjust to their final indoor installation. Unfortunately, most people are in a hurry to get the job done, and move on so the wood doesn’t get the chance to acclimate. Every so often I am asked to explain why there is cracking in sheetrock at corners or around doors. Most of the time, people suspect that it’s a structural problem, when it actually is the twisting and expansion or contraction of lumber that still has a different moisture level than the building.

The dynamic movement can split the lumber and crack the walls easily.

The same kind of movement can occur in cabinet doors, so to adjust for this internal movement, doors are often configured with what is referred to as “rails and styles” surrounding the center panel.

A well-crafted cabinet door will have movement if you place your hand on the center panel and move it up or down or side to side. The movement allows the door panel to expand or contract without binding, twisting or warping. Many doors imitate the look of multi-part doors, but are routed panels made from a single board. This kind of door can warp from typical moisture changes in a kitchen, from boiling water on a stove, a cross breeze on a summer day or when the heat comes on and the house gets dry. Good luck!

opinions

he summer is well under way and, happily, the U.S. Congress has gone home. While in D.C., they didn’t do much beyond a watered-down gun-control bill, with lots of other critical issues pending. With Washington quiet, all the action shifts to Fulton County, Georgia, where a grand jury may decide the fate of everyone from former President Donald Trump to other big names like Sen. Lindsey Graham and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

Some people JERRY imagine that any county down KREMER South is a small municipality with a sheriff who spends most of his time chasing speeding cars driven by Northeasterners.

According to Wikipedia, Fulton County had the sad distinction of having 35 lynchings from 1877 to 1950, but today it is a large and bustling metropolitan area, encompassing most of Atlanta and 15 other cities. It has a population of over 1 million, very much like Nassau

A

and Suffolk counties.

Fulton County is named after Robert Fulton, the creator of the steamboat. It is home to such enterprises as Coca Cola, AT&T, Equifax, EarthLink, Cox Communications, Porsche Cars of North America and Wendy’s/ Arbys. Cases of major magnitude are heard in its county courthouse, and the grand jury that has been impaneled to hear the Trump election charges is composed of jurors from all walks of life.

For the past month, the Jan 6 congressional committee has been airing evidence on the insurrection, with numerous witnesses who have offered some headline-grabbing testimony about Trump’s actions on that fateful day. But no one knows whether the committee will make any criminal referrals to Attorney General Merrick Garland. And even if does single out the former president and his cohorts, it isn’t certain that Garland will take any action.

Meanwhile, New York state Attorney General Letitia James is pursuing civil allegations against the former president and members of his family. She has dog-

T

gedly gone after the Trump organization’s accountants and appraisers, along with present and former employees. It is possible that James will start a major civil suit against all of the Trump enterprises and family, but that would have no immediate criminal consequences.

So the real action is taking place in front a panel of grand jurors in Georgia who can indict anyone who they believe has committed a state crime relating to the 2020 election. Last month they heard from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who undoubtedly testified about his now famous conversations with Trump in which he was asked to “find” 11,780 votes.

In addition, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is seeking the testimony of Giuliani and Graham. Guliani testified at numerous Georgia hearings, claiming that the state’s election returns were fraudulent. Graham called the Secretary of State asking about absentee ballots, with the clear inference that those ballots might be fraudulent as well.

To date, there have been a small num-

he real action is taking place in front of a panel of Fulton County grand jurors.

ber of possible witnesses mentioned, but Willis has made it clear that she will call many people in the Trump orbit who made similar claims about the Georgia results.

Some of those potential witnesses will challenge the subpoenas they’ve received, but it is almost certain that Georgia courts will deny those efforts and force them to appear and testify.

Most of the American public’s attention has been focused on the Jan 6 committee hearings, and there is no doubt that in the coming weeks, there will be more testimony that may have an impact on Trump’s future political dreams, but nothing will emerge that will lead to any immediate criminal indictments. But Fulton County Court may be where a parade of well-known political names, including Trump himself, could face election-tampering charges.

History is made regularly in Washington, but a grand jury in Georgia may make some national history of its own.

Come along with me on a trip Down East

re you traveling for real, or from your laptop? So many of us, passionate about getting up and going, have been making do with travel brochures and virtual tours these past two-plus years. Some folks who spent a lifetime saving for a special adventure or retirement trip are still waiting for it to be safe enough. On the scale of problems people are facing these days, travel plans pale, but taking to the road is still one of life’s abiding joys.

Over the years, you have jourRAnDi neyed with me KREiss around the world.

Whether or not you are travelers yourselves, if you turned to this page, you have visited dozens of countries, from Australia to Abu Dhabi to Tanzania to New Zealand to South Africa.

And I’m not hanging up my traveling shoes just yet. I am, however, staying stateside these days. The amalgam of unmasked crowds, canceled flights, war in Ukraine and concerns about getting sick in foreign lands has fixed our GPS to the USA.

If I wrote an essay called “What I Learned During the Coronavirus Pandemic,” it would emphasize traveling light and being ready to change plans.

Our plan this summer was to go to Maine, and so here we are.

We picked three locations, and various Airbnbs. I write now from Kennebunkport, which is a first-time visit for us, “us” being my husband and me and Lillybee, the traveling dog.

We’re in a small, 200-year-old house that has been beautifully kept and updated with lots of modern conveniences, including a tricked-out cook’s kitchen. It also has an old, narrow, steep stairway to the second floor, uneven floorboards, creaking banisters, low ceilings, and bells on the porch that move in the wind. This is a little strange, I know, but this house wrapped its arms around me immediately. We’ve stayed in lots of rental places, but this is a unique feeling, as if I could just stay forever. I imagine there are ghosts in the evening, and I say, welcome, sit by me, tell me your stories.

We are walking every day, and finding lobsters to eat, and chatting with the

F

locals when we can. We visited a local monastery, and found paths along the harbor that offered stunning seaside views. At the house, I can sit out back and read my books or do a crossword puzzle. The main tourist area is mobbed, and was crazy busy over the Fourth, but in general, the vibe is laid back.0 Yesterday we booked a day sailing trip. The ocean was rolling as we passed the Bush compound known as Walker’s Point. The Texas flag was flying under the American flag, which everyone here knows means the former president is in residence. Seals were bobbing just off the rocks.

It looked picture-perfect, and it was — and, like a picture, it was all surface.

Unbidden, intrusive thoughts rumbled through my head, like the problems of 43’s presidency, and his wars, and the misery of today’s politics, just an iPhone notification away. The world is always there, even on holiday. Even in a glorious moment.

We know we are lucky to have this getaway in a place that feels safe and close to nature and accessible to various kids and grandkids who may show up along

alling in love with a 200-year-old house where it’s easy to imagine ghosts.

the way. In the kids department, all the plans have changed many times due to Covid and Covid and Covid, as one after the other got sick and had to rebook. We roll with the changes; this is the lesson of the pandemic.

I confess to complicated feelings about the dozens of large, ornate historic summer “cottages” owned by people who come to Kennebunkport for brief stays in the hot weather. Like Newport. Like the Hamptons. Like the reverse in Palm Beach and Palm Springs. Some owners come for only a week or two. These outsized homes sit on vast parcels of land along the shore.

They require enormous upkeep.

These Kennebunkport beauties are a slice of history; some estates are owned by families who built them more than 100 years ago.

We tourists have a role to play. We bring cash, but some bring trash. I know we are outsiders looking in, and we try to behave ourselves; it is our good fortune to visit this community for a time.

The weather has been grand for a state that is notorious for foul, wet, chilly days, even in summer (which is said to be one week in July). It has been in the 70s and sunny, with a side of lobstah.

Don’t let shark mania ruin your summer

here are few sounds that can paint a more vivid picture than the ominous and simple theme created by composer John Williams for the 1975 film “Jaws.” If beachgoers weren’t afraid of sharks before Steven Spielberg released that thriller, they were after.

Yet despite recent attacks off Long Island beaches, sharks aren’t something we should lose sleep over. Not that we can dismiss these encounters — they are dangerous, and something we must pay attention to. The injuries, and the potential for deaths, are very real.

But at the same time, we can’t decide to cut the beach out of our summer plans with the discovery that the ocean does indeed include wildlife — and some varieties that might not take too kindly to swimmers.

Shark bites are rare. Very rare. Last year, the Florida Museum of Natural History tracked 73 unprovoked shark bites on people, with more than half of them in the United States. Nine lives were lost to sharks in unprovoked attacks worldwide, and just one here in America.

That’s in line with the past five years of data, including 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic lockdown reduced attacks significantly.

On Long Island, a shark attack was

something we’d talk about every 10 years or so, despite well over 1,000 miles of shoreline. But that has changed in recent years — and, according to experts, it will continue to change.

Christopher Paparo, who manages Stony Brook University’s Marine Sciences Center, told reporters that there are not only sharks off Long Island’s coast, but also whales and dolphins. But weren’t they always there? No, actually. The population of all three has grown dramatically in recent years — all up from virtually nonexistent in the 1960s.

That’s good news for the environment, even if it’s not so good for beachgoers. But that doesn’t mean people and sharks still can’t co-exist. It does mean much more diligence, and following some simple advice from the Florida museum, which has made sharks its focus for many years.

For example, swim with a buddy, since sharks are more likely to attack people alone in the water.

Stay close to shore, and be extra careful near sandbars or steep drop-offs, since sharks like those areas. Swim during the day, and avoid low-light hours at dawn and dusk, when sharks are typically feeding.

Don’t wear shiny jewelry, and avoid areas where there is a lot of fishing. Try not to splash too much, because sharks

can hear the sound, and might think there is food nearby.

Sure, “Jaws” and other thrillers have led us to believe that sharks can sense human blood, but there’s no evidence to support that. Still, if you do have an open cut, maybe avoid the water.

And if a shark is spotted, don’t race out of the water. Slowly and calmly make your way to the beach.

Keep in mind that with 70 or so attacks per year on average, your chances of being attacked by a shark remain extremely low. Your chance of being killed in a car accident is 1 in 84, according to the National Safety Council. Your chance of drowning is 1 in 1,134. Your chance of being struck and killed by lightning is 1 in 79,746.

The odds of being fatally wounded in an unprovoked shark attack? 1 in 3.7 million.

So grab your towel and your suntan lotion. Bring something to eat and plenty to drink. It’s summer, and the beaches are calling your name. There will always be dangers out there.

But vigilance is key.

Drive carefully. Swim with a friend. If you see threatening skies, take cover. And don’t panic if a shark shows up. Stay safe, and enjoy the water.

letters More delays for delivery of new LIRR electric cars To the Editor: The most recent announced additional delays associated with the Long Island Rail Road’s $734 million procurement of 202 new M9 electric replacement cars — a contract originally awarded in 2013 — is nothing new. When has there ever been any MTA LIRR, Metro North or NYC Transit Federal Transit Administration or locally funded commuter rail or subway car procurement completed on time, within budget and without contract change orders?

Ongoing problems with this purchase have continued for years. In 2020, the MTA’s own independent engineering consultant forecast an October 2022 completion date. The LIRR was more optimistic about meeting an earlier date. Over time, both were proven wrong. The LIRR now promises that all 202 of the cars will be delivered by September 2023.

This new 17-month delay, on top of the previous ones, will result in the completion of all deliveries three years later than promised. And who can guarantee that the

vendor will meet this latest schedule’s September 2023 date?

The oldest M3 cars scheduled to be replaced will continue in service far longer than planned before all new cars arrive and are ready for com-

muters to board. As a result, the LIRR will incur additional maintenance and operating costs to keep this outdated equipment working beyond its intended useful service life.

Instead of being retired, too many M3 cars

he right-wing majority on the Supreme Court has now issued decisions overturning abortion rights, weakening the wall of separation between church and state, limiting state and local firearm regulation, and interfering with federal Environmental Protection Agency regulation of climate-altering, coal-burning power plants.

In a concurring opinion in the anti-abortion Dobbs decision, Justice Clarence Thomas laid out the goals of the right-wing judges.

According to ALAN Thomas, “In future cases, we SINGER should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents.” The right-wing group, including the three Trump appointees, seems determined to eliminate all protection for the personal right to intimacy and privacy and fundamental legal protections. This is the world of the dystopian novels “1984” and “The Handmaid’s Tale” — steps toward dismantling democracy and human rights and imposing the justices’ religious beliefs on the rest of the population.

When similar things happen in the Islamic world, the United States is quick to denounce Sharia law.

Blue states and the federal government must find ways to skirt the Supreme Court majority. Here are some suggestions.

■ Treat guns like cars. Cars are registered and inspected annually. Drivers are tested and licensed. Just as they do with cars and trucks, states and the federal gover nment should require that all gun owners be tested and licensed and insure their weapons, with steeper costs for automatic weapons and those that will be carried concealed in public places, and the highest cost for military-style weapons. Vehicles are taxed to support road maintenance and policing. Tax gun ownership as well.

Green economy ‘is still decades away’ To the Editor: To the surprise of many, the European Parliament gave final approval on July 6 to a new policy that will allow some nuclear and natural gas energy projects to qualify as “green” for access to low-interest loans and some state subsidies. The new law will include qualifying projects on the EU’s list of environmentally sustainable economic activities, those that

■ To protect access to abortion for women living in states with Republican-controlled governments, we need to learn lessons from the anti-slavery campaigns of the 19th century. Underground railroads can take women to states and cities where health services, including abortions, will be provided free of cost. Constitutionally, at least as of now, states cannot charge women or health providers with crimes that did not occur under their jurisdiction.

ncluding ‘underground railroads’ to take women to states where abortion is legal.

■ Treat air pollution like any other toxic waste. If states and companies do not stop pollution from coal-fired power plants and the EPA is prevented from regulating them, the federal government should just order them shut down as health risks. If that doesn’t work, charge them for using the air as a waste dump. Meanwhile, neighboring states should sue the state governments and companies in bordering states for damaging their environments, and bill them for the medical expenses incurred by their citizens.

Individuals can also join in class-

action suits. This has worked against other toxic polluters. Flooded communities can flood the courts, charging polluters with adding to destructive climate change.

Public and private postal services, email, social media and the Internet can all be used to flood red states with the information women need to know.

Underground railroads will also have to work in reverse, sending pregnancy-ending medication, and possibly even birth control, into states that deny women reproductive freedom. Expect red states to pass new legislation outlawing all of these behaviors. Blue state governments will need to ignore these laws and protect their citizens from red state legal action, including refusing to extradite them.

Shoring up the wall of separation

between church and state will be difficult and meet local resistance, but it isn’t impossible. The Supreme Court ruled that government funds and programs provided to secular private schools cannot be denied to religious schools. The best way to block government subsidies of religious schools is to eliminate such subsidies, as well as vouchers, tuition remission, tax breaks, and direct aid, to all private schools.

This would also put a stop to the promotion of private schools to avoid school integration and the underfunding of public education.

Another strategy is to require that any schools that accept public funds fully comply with all civil rights diversity, equity and inclusion requirements, including the rights of members of the LGBTQ+ community.

It will not be easy to counter the rightwing, ideological Supreme Court majority that is attemting to rewrite the U.S. Constitution, but strategies like these can be employed until we have a new Supreme Court.

will both help solve Europe’s current energy crisis and help meet its energy targets for 2030.

Apparently the politically correct “narrative” of being anti-tech is more important than scientific fact when it comes to nuclear power and fossil fuels.

Meanwhile, the U.S., the world’s most advanced country, has built neither a nuclear reactor nor a new oil refinery in over 50 years! Reality is finally setting in Europe as the fantasy of going totally green meets reality.

Without oil/gas, how do we power tens of thousands of commercial trucks, container ships, non-electric railroad lines, airplanes, helicopters, farm equipment?

How do we produce fertilizer, insecticides, lubricants, plastics, many chemicals and even clothing materials? The fact is, a totally green, renewable economy is still decades away. now if only the environmentalists and this administration would finally admit the truth and adjust to the reality of our current situation. We should and must follow the pragmatic leadership of the EU and seriously rethink our national energy policies.
