Worship from Italy to Inwood Patron saint of native town is celebrated

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

A century ago, a group of immigrants who settled in Inwood from Filandari, a small town in the Calabria region of Italy — the toe of the country’s boot-shaped peninsula — aimed to share their devotion for their patron saint, Santa Marina Vergine, with their families in the United States.

“The saint was their image that gave them religious strength, moral support and unity to survive their hardships here in America,” said Hewlett resident Maria Artusa Blank, a keeper of records who noted that 2021 is the centennial year of the Santa Marina Society of Inwood and its annual celebratory Mass.

“Back in Filandari, Italy,

the saint supported families in their hardships as well as through two world wars,” Blank said. “The villagers prayed to Saint Marina to save the tiny village from many wars, illnesses, depressions, bombings and for everyone’s safety.”

Kelly Tinyes memorial unveiled in Grant Park jbessen@liherald.com

Family, friends and elected officials gathered in Nassau County’s Grant Park in Hewlett on July 10 to unveil the memorial plaque and a bricks in memory of Kelly Tinyes, a 13-year-old Woodmere Middle School student who was murdered

by Robert Golub in 1989.

Childhood friends of Tinyes began the Forever Young Kelly Brick Campaign last year as a positive way to remember their friend. Nearly $49,000 was raised. The memorial has an area of concrete near the entrance with engraved bricks, benches and recreational tables.

A Valley Stream resident who attended school in the Hewlett-Woodmere district, the park was known to be Tinyes favorite.

A majority of the Friday nights were spent at Grant Park hanging out and ice skating.

“It was a beautiful day celebrating a beautiful soul that was taken from us way too soon,” Mindy Nirenberg said. “Her memory will never be for gotten and we are so happy to help to make sure of that by creating this permanent memorial.”

The Forever Young Kelly Brick Campaign teamed up with Hewlett-Woodmere Public Schools Endowment Fund to raise the needed money. The endowment fund, an independent organization of alumni, families and friends who support public-

Endowment fund board member David Friedman said that the memorial had been the subject of discussion for almost a year, and noted that the fund’s past working relationship with the Parks Department helped move the process.

“It looks beautiful, Jen and Mindy worked so hard,” he said, adding that the Parks Department was terrific and he

was glad that County Executive Laura Curran and Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder attended the Saturday event. Jen, who declined to use her last name, is another childhood friend of Tinyes.

On March 3, 1989, Tinyes, was babysitting her younger brother, Richard, at their Valley Stream home when they got a phone call from a man who said his name was John. Kelly told Richard that she was heading to a friend’s for a little while. She never returned. Roughly 24 hours later, she was found dead in a neighbor’s basement.

Within a month, police arrested

21-year-old bodybuilder Robert Golub, who lived in the house, after a bloody handprint was discovered on the basement doorway. After a nearly yearlong trial, Golub was convicted of seconddegree murder and sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. He remains incarcerated, even after multiple parole hearings.

Golub later admitted to the killing, saying it was accidental. Dubbed the “Hell on Horton Road” murder, the case attracted national attention for its brutality, and was significant in that it was one of the first cases in the United States to rely on DNA evidence to secure a conviction.

Remembering those who are killed is important, County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said. He noted that the Golubs of the world receive the attention as they remain alive in prison and become a news story when up for parole “We always have to remember our victims and give them a voice,” he said, adding that when a homicide in Nassau occurs, the detectives investigating the case “marry the family,” speak with the families on the anniversary of the loved one’s death and check on them.

“What [the friends and family] did, they did the right thing with this memorial,” Ryder said, noting that the Tinyes was struggling as Richie Tinyes, Kelly’s father, died last September from Covid-19. “It gives everybody a little bit of healing. You never get closure, but you get healing.”

Jacob Steinmetz drafted by the Diamondbacks

By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

If Woodmere resident Jacob Steinmetz, who was drafted 77th by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the third round of the 2021 First-Year Player Draft on July 12, was writing his own story, he said he would not shy away from the obvious story lead.

“It was what I was working toward and if it was going to happen, I knew it was going to be a thing,” Steinmetz said on being the first Orthodox Jew drafted by professional baseball (the Nationals drafted Elie Kligman on July 13). “To me, all my hard work paid off and it’s a great feeling when you put the work into something and you succeed.” The success he credits to his parents and all his coaches along the way.

His father, Elliot is coach of the Yeshiva University men’s basketball team. He has guided them to a 36-1 record and national rankings the past two seasons, and the Division III Sweet 16 in 2020 before all sports was shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic.

When college and major league baseball scouts watched the 6-5, 220-pound Steinmetz pitch they saw a young man not yet 18 whipping a fastball toward home plate at upwards of 96 mph and dropping a curve that has a snap.

That talent has brought the Hebrew Academy of the Five Towns and Rockaway High School graduate to playing professional baseball. The draft was conducted this year in conjunction with major league baseball’s All-Star festivities.

Steinmetz, who initially committed to play baseball for Fordham University at the NCAA Division I level, honed his skills at the Elev8 Academy in Delray Beach,

Fla., this past spring. Now, the young man who turns 18 on July 19, will head to Arizona to sign a pro contract and begin what one baseball oriented movie called “life’s first profession.”

In 2012, when Jacob was 9, The Jewish Star newspaper wrote an article on the Orthodox Jewish boy, who not

only was a budding superstar, but a person that Karen Green who wrote the article showed, “determination and was goal oriented without compromising his principles,” who also possessed “adaptability, while adhering to his priorities.”

Steinmetz remembered the story and said he was looking at it as he spoke to a Herald reporter. Saying that his younger self “wasn’t even thinking about it,” meaning playing professional baseball, “that it was just a dream,” Steinmetz feels like he is the same person just older.

Richard Kahn, the current treasurer of the HewlettWoodmere Little League, coached Steinmetz at the lower levels of the youth league and remembers him as coachable. “He was always a good ballplayer, always smart, knew what to do and was a team leader,” said Kahn, who had an earlier glimpse of what a future major league ballplayer looked like as Pete Falcone, who pitched for the Giants, Cardinals, Mets and Braves, was on Kahn’s Little League team in 1963. “He was very conscientious and definitely a pleasure to coach,” Kahn said about Steinmetz.

When Steinmetz played on the Long Island Chargers as a youngster and the Long Island Titans as a teenager, the teams accommodated Steinmetz’s religious obligations where games, except for tournaments, were not scheduled on Shabbos. Such accommodations are harder to come by in pro ball, but Steinmetz said that will be “something between me and the team. “I’ll keep doing what I do, walking to games on those days.”

He describes the pre- and post-draft time as “crazy” and “overwhelmingly.” “I’m definitely exited to have gone through it,” Steinmetz said, adding that he looks forward to beginning this phase of his life.

Marking 100 years of celebrating Santa Marina continued from front page Vincenzo Mangone and Marino Artusa, established the Santa Marina Society of Inwood in 1921. It consisted of any Italian who wanted to join, and most were from the Five Towns and Far Rockaway. The men also had a replica statue Santa Marina Vergine crafted in Italy, identical to the one in their hometown.

“It’s a connection to our grandparents and parents and their lives in Filandari,” explained Maria Curra, an Inwood native who now lives in Coral Springs, Fla., but returns every year for the Mass. “A time to reflect and honor Saint Marina for the blessing bestowed upon so many. A time to reconnect with all of those in Filandari and New York.”

Because the majority of society members lived in Inwood, the celebration and feast traditionally took place at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church. Nearly 100 men belonged to the society. The celebration consisted of the novenas — special prayers or services — and a Saturday Mass followed by a traditional procession, and a feast. For seven years the feast was successful and the event continuously grew, but after a terrible fireworks accident in the early 1930s, the society was forced to disband.

In 1962, roughly 30 years later, Frank C u r r a , a n o t h e r i m m i g r a n t f ro m Filandari, decided to hold a Mass in honor of Santa Marina, which spearhead-

ed the group’s revitalization, and the society reformed the following year.

Its annual celebration was muted by the coronavirus pandemic last year, with just an outdoor procession. This year it has returned, with the novena to Santa Marina scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, after the Herald went to press, at 8 p.m., at Our Lady of Good Counsel, and the indoor Mass at the church on Saturday, at 10 a.m., followed by the procession. Because of the continuing pandemic, the feast — which features amusement rides, food and music — will not be held.

The Mass and procession typically attract more than 500 people, according to society members. “The celebration of the novena and Mass is good for all of us to remember faith and tradition,” said Lynbrook resident Nick Curra, who is not related to Maria, but is Frank Curra’s nephew.

“Santa Marina is our safety net,” said Maria Cristina Bocci, Frank’s greatgranddaughter. “When we are in times of despair, sick or in need of comfort, we turn to Santa Marina to pray for us, look after us and hold us through. [We] believe we have seen a miracle with a simple ‘Santa Marina prega per noi’ (Santa Marina pray for us).’”

Initially, after the society was revived, officials at Our Lady of Good Counsel would not allow the group to hold the feast on church grounds, so the Mass and

The Mass procession, circa the 1960s. procession were held at the church, but the feast took place at different locations for a number of years, ranging from the Pfc. John J. Olivieri Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1582 headquarters, in Inwood, to the Five Towns Community Center, in Lawrence, to Lawrence High School, in Cedarhurst.

The society enjoyed a renaissance as new members joined, but it ruled that members had to be from Filandari or descendants of the town’s residents. After several years, the church agreed to hold the feast on church grounds, and it usually took place in the parking lot across the street from the church, on Wanser Avenue.

Today the society has roughly 40 members, and for several years the officers have been President Salvatore Cimato, Vice President Marino Curra and Secretary/Treasurer Giovanni Curra. (Marino

and Giovanni are not related, but Giovanni is Nick’s son.)

Proceeds of the event benefit Our Lady of Good Counsel, local charities and other worthy causes.

“Even though the feast is a great celebration for the community, consisting of food, live music, games and rides,” Francesca Cimato-Perna explained, “for most descendants of Filandari, the celebration is all about our faith and devotion to Santa Marina, making the novenas, the Mass on Saturday and the procession the most important part. It’s what brings us back together: the celebration of this great martyr that bonds the people of Filandari.”

Gift Of Life seeks youthful donors Donating bone marrow Twenty percent of people donate bone marrow, which is found in the hollow cavities of large bones. It is taken from the pelvic bone in an area called the iliac crest, collected in an outpatient procedure in a hospital operating room under general anesthesia. Marrow regenerates completely within four to six weeks. Donors usually go home after the donation, and should anticipate taking a few days to recover after the procedure.

The donation process is anonymous. If you are asked to donate for a patient, the entire process of testing and surgery will take 20 to 30 hours over a four- to sixweek period. The donation and blood tests involve the use of needles. People 18 to 35 years old are encouraged to register. Older people can register, but need to be younger than 60.

existing registries. His family and friends, including people in the Five Towns, mobilized a drive that tested more than 60,000 people worldwide.

“Ashkenazi [European] Jews were so decimated in the [Holocaust] that when you needed a match for bone marrow, it was difficult,” explained Lish, noting that the last person tested in Feinberg’s case was a match. Feinberg, now 52, has been recognized a number of times by

various organizations for his efforts, and has expanded the registry to help ensure that all ethnic groups can try to find bone marrow matches.

It was a slow afternoon at last Sunday’s drive, as expected on a hot summer day, but that didn’t matter to Woodmere resident Yehudah Meisels. “It’s very important I believe for myself that if I could help the world in any way, it’s very important that I do that,” said

Previous bone marrow drives at HAFTR, in 2002, 2009, 2010 and 2011, produced more than 230 matches and helped save 47 lives, Lish noted.

“That’s incredible, considering how hard it is to match,” said Valerie Janovic, the Jewish community engagement coordinator for the Gift of Life Marrow Registry.

The primary demographic for donation is 18- to 35-year-olds, but New York, New Jersey and Florida allow 17-yearolds to donate as well. Donors remain in the database until they turn 60. After that age, as medical issues ranging from back problems to diabetes are more likely to set in, a person’s general good health declines.

The nonprofit registry, now headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., was founded in 1991 by Jay Feinberg, a foreign exchange analyst for the Federal Reserve in New York, who was diagnosed with leukemia that year. The organization is dedicated to saving lives by facilitating bone marrow and blood stem cell transplants for patients with leukemia, lymphoma, sickle cell and other blood-related diseases.

Feinberg, then 22, learned that he would need a bone marrow transplant, but there was no matching donor in

Meisels, 20.

Tzipporah Zimmer, who came from West Hempstead, said she had seen an ad for the bone marrow drive and wanted to help Shlomo, a father of three who also has two grandchildren. “I feel as people we have a right to help, so for me that’s what life’s about,” said Zimmer, 33. “If I can help another human, why not? It’s such an easy thing. I’d hope someone would do the same thing for me if I needed it.”

The event was also a meeting of the databases, as YU Connects, a Jewish matchmaking group run at Yeshiva University, open to the general Jewish public, joined forces with the Gift of Life Marrow Registry for the drive. “The Gift of Life was looking for people under age 35 to help be volunteers, to help be swabbed, and we have a large database,” said YU Connects special projects coordinator Marjorie Glatt, a Woodmere resident. “Our members, the young men and women who are involved there, are always looking for volunteer opportunities and ways to meet each other.”

Those who are interested in donating bone marrow can request a swab kit for home delivery giftoflife.org/Shlomo. To hold a virtual or in-person donor recruitment drive, email Traci Ackerman at tackerman@giftoflife.org.

Teaching children about Alzheimer’s disease nassaueditor@liherald.com

Alzheimer’s disease hits close to home for many, especially for grandchildren, which is why Dr. Laurie Zelinger, a Cedarhurst board certified child psychologist, decided to write “Please Explain ‘Alzheimer’s Disease’ to Me,” a book explaining Alzheimer’s disease, a common form of dementia, to children.

Written for 6- to 9-year-olds, Zelinger’s book is one of several, including “Please Explain ‘Terrorism’ to Me” and “Please Explain ‘Anxiety’ to Me,” that she’s written to explain difficult topics to children.

“I've always liked to write,” she said. “I've been writing since I was in elementary school, so writing is something I enjoy and I like to be able to break down difficult concepts for kids.”

The book details a story of two children, named Seth and Shepard after Zelinger’s grandchildren, noticing changes in their grandmother’s behavior as she becomes more forgetful and needs more help in her day-to-day life.

Casey O’Brien Martin, a school adjustment counselor, found the book to be a great resource to offer parents who come to her for help explaining a grandparent’s Alzheimer’s to their children.

“I feel like I have a go-to book on that,” Martin said. “So many times with kids, if they see their difficult experiences in a book it’s just so validating for them. I love

CEdARhURSt ChILd pSyChOLOgISt Dr. Laurie Zelinger with the puppets she uses when counseling children. that it talks about the changes and all the changes for the kid that are kind of hard to adjust to ... it made it really simple for a child to understand.”

Dr. Deborah Lief-Deinstag, a Lawrence pediatrician who often refers patients to Zelinger, finds that it’s important to explain difficult situations to children to reduce their anxiety and fear. “The more explaining we do, the less anxiety we engender in our children,” Deinstag said.

“There’s a common misconception that if you don’t talk about something, it goes away or it’s less worrisome or it's less scary for a child. On the contrary it’s more worrisome and more frightening because they don't quite know what they’re expecting and what they’re experiencing.”

The second half of the book features information for parents including facts about Alzheimer’s, tips for dealing with

loved ones with the disease, and a question and answer section on how to address a child’s questions.

Zelinger stressed that parental teaching is important to help a child’s understanding and development. “I want parents also to get information,” she said. “I want them to better understand the disease and know how to address the child's questions at the child's developmental level so that the child gains understanding and is satisfied with the answers that they get.”

She said she was inspired to write this book from her personal experience in dealing with family members with Alzheimer’s. “I’ve had it in mind for a long time, because both my mother and my grandmother had dementia, so I lived with this firsthand,” Zelinger said. “Now that the baby boomers are aging, the rate of dementia and Alzheimer's is climbing.”

In her book, Zelinger quotes her father who recently died from Covid-19. “I remember reading him the drafts of this book and his words really stuck in my mind,” she said. “He said, ‘Please tell anybody who reads the book that the people who have Alzheimer’s want to be remembered as they were, not as they are now.’

That just stuck with me.”

The cleanup of an over turned tanker truck on the Nassau Expressway in Inwood was completed around 8 p.m. on July 7.

Inwood F.D./Facebook

878 endures traffic snafus The Nassau Expressway, also known as State Route 878, endured a pair of traffic problems last week.

At roughly 4 a.m., on July 7, an 11,000-gallon fuel tanker overturned on the Nassau Expressway at Burnside Avenue in Inwood that resulted in a more than 14-hour shutdown of the roadway in both directions between Bay Boulevard in Lawrence and Mott Avenue in Inwood.

The Inwood, Lawrence-Cedarhurst and Long Beach fire departments were among the emergency units that responded, along with Nassau County police and the county fire marshal. The driver was removed from the truck with no injuries Protective foam was put down as the hazardous

materials team drilled te tanker to offload the fuel.

Private tow companies rigged the truck got it upright.

The roadway shutdown snarled traffic across the Five Towns and interrupted Sanitary District 1 pickup, which collects the trash and recyclables in the Five Towns and surrounding South Shore communities.

Two days later, amid Tropical Storm Elsa, a truck struck a utility pole by the Burger King in the morning on Rockaway Turnpike, which is part of the expressway. That also caused a traffic snarl, but was cleared just before 1 p.m.

Lawrence schools lose, Lino Viola wins The Lawrence School District lost its appeal opposing the Town of Hempstead’s Industrial Development Agency’s granting Raymour & Flanigan a 10-year PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) for a warehouse in Lawrence.

The New York State’s Court of Appeals ruled that the IDA’s granting of the tax breaks was not irrational. Lawrence sued the town’s IDA over the PILOT in 2017.

A panel of three judges said that tax exemptions and abatements were not “arbitrary and capricious” in a July 7 decision that upheld a 2017 lower court ruling.

Limiting its review to if there was a “a rational basis” for the IDA’s decision, the Appeals Court said that granting the PILOT was based somewhat on the property’s value determined by the Nassau County assessor. The court said that the IDA’s decision was consistent with what it had done previously in similar situations.

Viola re-elected

With 186 votes in an uncontested election Lino Viola won another five-year term on July 8 as one of the four Sanitary District 1 commissioners. The others are Frank Argento, Irving Kaminetsky and James Vilardi.

Sanitary District 1 is responsible for collecting the trash and recyclables in the Five Towns and surrounding South Shore communities.

floor and the toilet seat up. Is this because he wants you to be his maid or doesn’t give a damn about you?

Maybe, but it’s much more likely that your spouse is simply not focused on your needs at that moment. You don’t have to like the behavior, but nothing gets resolved when you put the worst possible interpretation o n i t . Yo u j u s t f e e l increasingly distressed and distant from each other.

Avo i d c r o s s - c o m plaining Cross-complaining can go on ad nauseam.

Kids do it all the time. “ Yo u h i t m e . Yo u pushed me first. I apadin pushed you because you called me stupid. I called you stupid because you messed up my game.”

As adults, we need to do better.

So, when a grievance is brought to the table, avoid the temptation to counter with your own grievance.

Instead, address your partner’s issue. Once you reach closure on that, then you can grumble about what’s bothering you. Or, by that time, you may not even need to do so.

Couples in conflict generally focus on the annoying thing their spouse said or did (or didn’t say or didn’t do). This could be productive if both people listened and respected each other’s viewpoint. If, however, you find yourself stuck at an impasse, consider changing your approach by asking yourself these questions.

• What’s this conflict really about?

• What can I do to change?

• How can we foster a better understanding of our needs?

• How can we work together to become more accepting of our differences?

• How can we begin to resolve our problems?

Here’s to celebrating our differences rather than demanding we be the same!

Quiz Time! Which of these complaints are uttered more often by men – which by women?

• “I have to tell you what happened.”

• “I already told you what happened--enough questions already!”

• “I need to share the details; why can’t you listen to me?”

• “Skip to the bottom line- no need for all those details.”

• “Why can’t we spend more time together?”

• “Why can’t you just leave me alone?”

I bet you got a perfect s c o re. T h e a n swe r s ?

Two, four and six are men speak; one, three a n d f ive a re wo m e n inda speak.

Yes, men and women really are different and it’s not just from the waist down.

It’s our brains that cause the majority of our problems, for we think, speak and interpret situations differently. Indeed, within one marriage there are two marriages: his and hers. He may be content; she may be miserable. She may be perplexed; he may be at peace. Or, they may both be mystified when their differences keep butting up against each other.

• Like when she has a strong need to talk, while he finds the yacketyyak annoying.

• Like when she thinks he’s a poster child for spousal deafness, while he believes he must tune out to survive.

• Like when she feels isolated when he doesn’t chat about his day, while he has no desire to talk about what happened at work.

So, what’s a couple to do when they’re out of sync? A few suggestions: Appreciate gender differences If you’re telling a story and he insists that you get to the bottom line before you’ve finished your saga, this doesn’t mean he’s an uncaring swine. It’s simply a guy thing. And guys, if she needs to tell you too many details of the story, it’s not because she’s a drama queen. It’s simply a woman thing.

Lighten up your interpretations She asks you a question right in the middle of the most exciting play of the game. Is this because she wants to ruin your day or doesn’t give a damn about what you’re into?

Oliver Brodlieb drives the family tradition Inspired by his grandfather Theodore Brodlieb, who once owned Brodlieb Motors in Woodmere, Oliver Brodlieb, a fourth-generation car dealer, was elected chairman of the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents and advocates for more than 400 franchise new car dealers across the metropolitan area.

Oliver, president of East Hills Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram in Greenvale, was selected by his peers at what the industry is calling a crucial time as it seeks to recoup from the financial losses of the coronavirus pandemic and embrace new technologies, including electric vehicles.

Theodore started in the car business shortly after World War II, working at his uncle’s Desoto dealership, Marathon Motors in Brooklyn.

Theodore moved on to open Idlewild Motors in Springfield Gardens, Ted’s Ford in Far Rockaway and then Brodlieb Motors. He died in 2011.

“Our industry has a bright and prosperous future, and we need talented young women and men to carry us forward as we enter a more technologically advanced age for vehicles,” Oliver said in a news release. “As we saw during the pandemic, personal vehicles are more important to people than ever, particularly here in downstate New York, and the importance of retail auto dealers has been so clearly demonstrated. I am delighted to be able to work with my colleagues to support one of the most critical industries for our state.”

His first official duty will be opening the

2021 New York International Auto Show, rescheduled because of the pandemic for Aug. 19 to 29 at Manhattan’s Jacob Javits Convention Center. The show is the oldest and largest public auto show event in North America. It was postponed in April of 2020 and will be held in August for the first time in its 121-year history.

The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association represents an industry that supports more than 72,000 jobs, generates more than $53 billion in economic activity and is the fifth largest retail employer in the 12 counties its member have their businesses, from New York City to Long Island to Westchester County and points north.

Oliver has worked at East Hills dealerships for nearly 25 years, holding virtually every position, including service adviser, salesman, sales manager, finance manager, and others. In 2007, he became partners with Ken Brodlieb, who is his uncle and founder of the East Hills Auto Group.

Along with Tim Brodlieb, the group consists of three Chevrolet franchises and one Subaru franchise. Oliver has another uncle, Marc Brodlieb, who owns and operates a Honda and another Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram franchise.

Oliver lives in Cold Spring Harbor with his wife, Taryn, and two children, Bo and Charlie.

Breaking one of the car’s windows, the

officers took the girl from the vehicle.

Atlantic Beach Fire Department medics checked the child and determined she was healthy. The girl was released to her family.

admiration for schoolteachers when it comes to the patience they must have in dealing with all the different personalities they must reach and try to shape into responsible members of our communities. Not only do people learn differently, they also communicate differently, and choose what to communicate based on varyonte eeper ing degrees of what’s in it for them. I sometimes wonder if it was a good thing that my parents instilled that “honesty is the best policy” because of the number of people who didn’t want to hear the truth, tell the truth or communicate the truth.

Many have stated to me in their daily business dealings that what they don’t know won’t hurt them, but eventually it actually can hurt them. I started writing this column after all the times I witnessed people who were being misled or out-andout “burned” as consumers. Sadly, the truth hurts, and I’ve also often tried to warn people that they probably won’t get away with things they thought they could sneak by officials. Some people are trusting, but many are willing to take their chances, and they move on to work with others willing to happily misguide them.

As I have done many times in my career, I drive by projects where I told the owners they wouldn’t get all that they wanted, and as expected, the built project is missing the building parts that never would have passed. One client, for example, insisted they owned the waterway behind their home and could build over it. The section of the home that would have protruded out over the waterway was never built when the rest of the home was constructed. It was no surprise, just a disappointment, because they didn’t want to hear the truth, and whoever did the planning led them down a garden path to a dead end. When this happened, I wonder if they had a lot of aggravation, or simply accepted the truth and moved on.

Now you will need to select someone you can trust to warn you of pitfalls, verify by calling code officials, and possibly do things in phases that may cost more than doing it all together. Good luck!

Q. We just bought a house, and this has been a real test of our marriage. We have so many things to do, and both of us are hoping to keep our jobs. Money we had planned to use for the work may have to be put toward food instead. We’re very nervous, and wonder whether a chunk of money is going to have to go for permits we were told we wouldn’t need. Now we find out that even our patio repair, our new central air conditioning unit and insulating the attic need a permit. We’re wondering who to trust. Nobody involved in the house sale or who gave us estimates told us about this. Is this common? Are we just unlucky?

opINIoNS

ntil recently, I had never thought deeply how radical my parents were when I was a child. I’m not sure they realized it at the time.

In 1972, when I was 5, they put me on a big yellow school bus whose primary route wound through Gordon Heights, in Suffolk County, a nearly all-Black neighborhood that was developed

by Louis Fife in the 1920s. I was one of a handful of white children on the route. Two years later, my younger brother joined me on the bus.

Growing up in the tiny country SCoTT hamlet of Yaphank, a nearly BRINToN all-white community, I had no notion of the frighteningly seismic socio-political events that were breaking out across the country at the time, including an anti-desegregation movement that swept the nation, roiling cities from Boston to Los Angeles and too many points in between, including the Village of Malverne.

“This place was a virtual war zone in the late 1960s and early ’70s, where you had people standing in picket lines ready to kill each other over issues of integration,” then Malverne Schools Superintendent James Hunderfund told the Herald in 2019.

“There was a sense of separatism, and

I

that was prevalent in other places, but it was rampant here.”

In Boston alone, 40 anti-desegregation riots and protests broke out between 1974, the year I turned 7, and 1988, when I was a junior and senior in college. Much of the sound and fury was stirred by a group called Restore Our Alienated Rights, or ROAR, led by its chair, Louise Day Hicks, who claimed she was defending white neighborhoods by pushing back against court-ordered desegregation school busing plans.

Yet my parents put me on that bus, appearing unworried, as if there were nothing out of the ordinary in this seemingly simple act of parenthood. All these years later, I’m happy and proud they did. It is why, in large part, I grew up to be an antiracist, one who works to eliminate racism in American society through words and actions.

I came to this realization when I recently read Ibram X. Kendi’s immeasurably hopeful book, “How to Be an Antiracist” (One World, 2019). In this compact 238-page text, which is one part instruction manual on how to live a life free of racial prejudice and one part personal remembrance and reflection, Kendi, 38, a journalist and university professor, dissects, point by point, the many and varied forms of bigotry while laying out his vision for a socially

I

just society in which all people, regardless of skin color, can achieve equality and happiness.

“If we ignore the odds and fight to create an antiracist world, then we give humanity a chance to one day survive, a chance to live in communion, a chance to be forever free,” Kendi writes.

It isn’t surprising that my parents put me on that bus.

My father, the son of Christian missionaries, grew up in Africa, in the Congo. One of only a handful of white children in his village — the others were his siblings — he spoke Lunda, a Bantu language, before English. He was steeped in African art and culture and mysticism.

As an adult, he was a music teacher and visual artist, and African sounds and design concepts played a central role in his work throughout his life. He spoke of Africa only in the fondest terms, regaling family and friends with often humorous stories of life in the jungle.

My maternal grandfather was a drycleaner who set up shop in a Black neighborhood in Bellport, also in Suffolk, and I spent many afternoons behind his counter, playing hide-and-seek with my brother between the clothes racks. Grandpa, whose parents emigrated from Italy, greeted customers as though they were old friends, no matter their color.

Kendi grew up in Queens, and he

bram X. Kendi’s immeasurably hopeful book made me think of my parents.

reserves some of his best writing for the chapters describing his childhood. You can see and feel the streets he describes with a certain melodic beat, like a rap.

“We certainly weren’t imitating anything on the Ave — to the contrary,” he writes. “The wider culture was avidly imitating and appropriating from us; our music and fashion and language were transforming the so-called mainstream . . .

Fresh baggy jeans sagging down. Fresh button-down shirts or designer sweatshirts in the winter under our bubble coats. Fresh T’s or sports jerseys in the summer above our baggy jean shorts. Dangling chains shining like our smiles. Piercings and tattoos and bold colors told the mainstream world just how little we wanted to imitate them.”

In this beautiful book, we see a Black child come of age in a nation that is perpetually seeking to define him, cordon him off, suppress him, but we also see this child grow into a man who overcomes the odds, and who confronts not only the racism that is pervasive throughout our society, but within him — yes, he admits, a Black person can be a racist.

Only by confronting racism in all its forms can we find peace. “How to Be an Antiracist” does just that.

Searching the heavens for common ground

just booked a reservation to see the next full solar eclipse. Call me an optimist; I expect to be there. Save the date: April 8, 2024. You can see it in all its glorious totality from Mazatlán, Mexico, along a narrow diagonal path that enters the United States near San Antonio and moves across the country to Maine and Canada.

I am embarrassed to say I missed the last big eclipse, in 2017, because I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to go to Nashville with me, where the viewing was expected to be RANDI superb. I mean, KREISS how shortsighted was that? I am in awe of astronomical phenomena, and that was possibly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

I didn’t go, even though I had a hotel booked. Failure of what? Energy? Determination? I did see a sliver of the eclipse from my home in Woodmere, along with my mail carrier, who was stopped in his tracks, looking skyward through a sun filter. Very meh experience, eclipse-wise.

The world has turned since then. When the pandemic began and we were all shut down and shut inside for long periods of time, I started looking upward and outward for comfort and inspiration. I set up my Celestron telescope and learned how to use it properly. One dark night, I saw the surface of the full moon, with craters and geographical features I hadn’t seen before. Last Dec. 21, I saw the convergence of Jupiter and Saturn and could distinguish the rings of Jupiter in the telescope.

As the pandemic wore on and wore me down, I found a real freedom in the night sky, observing the constellations we all know. I watched the International Space Station fly by. I downloaded the NASA website so I could try to spot other space objects floating around overhead. One app visualized my own night sky at any given moment, based on my location as communicated through my phone.

This may sound elementary to those well schooled in astronomy, but across the span of my educational experience, astronomy remains a black hole. I have a passion and interest to learn what I can, but I feel

I

frustrated by how difficult the discipline is.

I’m a word person, and astronomy is all about math and physics and chemistry.

Still, I’m determined to learn what is within my reach. Speaking of black holes, I’ve read the simplest descriptions of the phenomenon over and over, and yet I don’t get it, or the concept of an expanding universe, or gravitational waves, or dying stars.

So I let that go. I absorb what I can. I look at the night sky and know for certain that we are an infinitesimally small piece of the universe, and that other worlds and other beings are possible. I know that our daily gripes and strife and political conflicts are nothing in the cosmos. Whatever our thinking, our alliances and our behaviors, we have in common this minuscule life raft called Earth, and we don’t have it for long. Contemplating the galaxies that stretch for millions of light years in all directions makes me think we can do better with this transitory gift of life.

End of lecture. I am comforted by gazing upward, and I wish the same for you.

As part of my galactic journey, I just

missed the last big eclipse, but I’m planning to be looking up at the next one.

read “The Last Stargazers: The Enduring Story of Astronomy’s Vanishing Explorers,” by astronomer Emily Levesque. It was much more fun than Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time,” which was pretty much a black hole to me, not that I can visualize “a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing — [not even] light, can escape from it.” (Wikipedia) Levesque has traveled to every far-flung spot on earth to book “observation time” on the most advanced telescopes in the world, which are always perched on remote, dark-sky mountaintops. She shares her adventures at the observatories in Chile, where the lively tarantulas almost took the fun out of the moment. She talks about the freezing cold at the Mauna Loa observatory in Hawaii, and the time a colleague thought he had discovered a new planet that turned out to be energy coming from a nearby microwave where someone was heating soup. She evokes the gorgeousness of the heavens and the privilege of being among those who roam the stars.

Read the book. It’s a great escape into a world most of us don’t know.

Then think about the Great Eclipse of April 2024. Save the date.

We’re in the thick of summer — safety first!

s

ummer should be a time of joy, spent hanging out at the beach and barbecuing in the backyard.

Too often, however, summer turns tragic when it needn’t. The American Red Cross offers the following guidelines to help you stay safe as the temperature climbs.

During a heat wave

The American Red Cross first aid app offers emergency-response information in simple, easy-to-follow steps. Available for iPhone and Android devices, the free app gives you instant access to the information you need to handle the most common first aid emergencies. It also features videos, interactive quizzes and straightforward advice.

■ Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.

Learn to swim

■ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.

■ Avoid extreme temperature changes.

■ Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, lightcolored clothing. Avoid dark colors, because they absorb the sun’s rays.

■ Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day, usually in the afternoon, between 2 and 5 p.m.

■ Postpone outdoor games and activities.

■ Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat. Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors.

■ Check on family, friends and neighbors who don’t have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat.

■ Check on your pets often to ensure that they aren’t suffering in the heat.

letters Yes, Audubon needs a name change To the Editor: Re Scott Brinton’s column “Audubon Society confronts its racist namesake — sort of ” (July 1-7): I salute Brinton for his thorough analysis and ounce of bravery coming through in the Herald’s opinion pages. I think that his suggestion to change the name of the Audubon Society is proportionate, timely and overdue.

I have a feeling that he will face a great deal of opposition, name-calling and resentment from political bodies and individuals, but I am with him all the way.

To the Editor: I look forward every week to reading Randi

The best way to safely enjoy the water is to learn how to swim. Enroll your family in age-appropriate Red Cross water-orientation and learn-to-swim courses. Basic water safety rules are part of these classes. You’ll learn how to tell if a swimmer is in distress or drowning, and how and when to call for emergency help. You’ll also learn how to help someone in trouble in the water while keeping yourself safe.

To find classes for you and your family, contact your local aquatic facility.

Water safety tips

A Red Cross water safety poll released in 2013 showed that nearly half of Americans said they had had an experience in which they were afraid they might drown, yet more than half planned to engage in activities that would put them at risk of drowning over the summer.

Members of the Aquatic Sub-Council, part of the Red Cross Scientific Advisory Council, have developed the Circle of Drowning Prevention and Chain of Drowning Survival protocols to raise

awareness of the most important steps swimmers can take to reduce the number of preventable drownings.

The Circle of Drowning Prevention shows the layers of protection that can help prevent potential drownings: ■ Pay close and constant attention to children you are supervising in or near water.

■ Fence in pools and spas with adequate barriers, including four-sided fencing.

■ Learn swimming and water-survival skills.

■ Make sure children, inexperienced swimmers and boaters wear U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jackets, and always swim in areas watched by lifeguards.

The Chain of Drowning Survival illustrates the steps you should take when you spot someone in distress in the water: ■ Recognize the signs of a struggling swimmer, and shout for help.

■ Rescue and remove the person from the water without putting yourself in danger.

■ Call emergency medical services.

■ Begin rescue breathing or cardiopulmonary resuscitation if necessary, and use an automated external defibrillator, or AED, if available.

■ Transfer care to advanced life support if needed.

une was National Homeownership Month. For many, homeownership is a part of the American dream that is proving to be increasingly difficult to attain. Long Island home prices have hit historic highs for the second year in a row, reinforcing a 2019 report from New York state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli that found that nearly 40 percent of Long Island homeowners could not afford their homes.

Homeownership should not be a luxury few can afford.

Long Island’s niCoLe JeAn skyrocketing prices and a CHristiAn home longstanding history of redlining and housing discrimination make homeownership even more challenging for Black people and other people of color. This nature of division was a deliberate choice, and is built into the foundation of Long Island. In 2019, Newsday’s “Long Island Divided” explored the stark segregation and injustices on the Island, noting that 90 percent of Black residents live in just 62 of its 291 communities.

Long Island’s racist past did not happen in a vacuum. The state and federal governments had an equal role in instituting racist housing policies. The Federal Housing Administration was a significant player in ensuring that Black Americans stayed out of white suburbs. Communities across the country were developed with the help of the FHA on the condition

that homes would not be sold to AfricanAmericans. Levittown was one of these communities, and it remains nearly allwhite today. Strategic segregation across Long Island set a precedent for the housing bubbles that we see today.

Affordable housing on Long Island is often segregated in its own “community” or “development,” becoming a cluster lacking the integration or diversity that is the strength of any suburban community. There is also a stigma attached to the term “affordable housing,” which have been code words to refer to people of non-white descent or of lesser economic means.

Yet another difficulty of homeownership on Long Island is a lack of standardized funding from New York state that would ensure affordability. The affordable housing resources that do exist are parceled out in a nonstructured way to local municipalities and some wellknown nonprofits, both of which operate using a business model that favors “profit” or “project completion” over sustained affordability that diversifies communities.

Not only is homeownership on Long Island prohibitively expensive, but communities of color are often not afforded the same resources that are allocated to predominantly white, affluent communities. Ideally, all Americans would have equitable access to affordable homes, good education systems and other resources that allow communities to thrive. It is obscene that this is not the standard or even the norm in the U.S., let alone here

on Long Island, home to “America’s first suburb.”

In a proclamation during National Homeownership Month, President Biden said the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development would “advance affordable and sustainable homeownership” throughout the country and break the deep-rooted barriers that have prevented so many people of color in the U.S. from becoming homeowners. These barriers, alongside the economic hardships created by the coronavirus pandemic, are keeping many from the opportunity of homeownership.

The Uniondale Community Land Trust is working hard to provide this resource in its community.

Instead of creating a separate neighborhood of affordable housing, in Uniondale the goal is to integrate affordable housing within the existing neighborhood.

With 225 community land trusts across the country, this affordable housing model allows residents to renovate and sell homes at lower-than-market prices while retaining ownership of their land

ffordable housing’ have been code words to refer to people of nonwhite descent.

through 99-year ground leases. This model helps create permanent affordable housing and gives community members agency over how their towns can grow and thrive. U-CLT is working diligently to build a project pipeline to provide homeownership opportunities for families making 60 to 80 percent of the area median income. As of 2020, the AMI in Nassau County was $126,600. The goal is to help provide fair, equitable housing here.

Having access to stable, quality, affordable housing helps people become part of diverse communities, find and keep jobs, lead healthier lives, and take better care of their children. There is no question that opportunities to own homes make a serious positive impact in people’s lives.

Creating sustainable, affordable housing is an excellent way to ensure that all can become homeowners in their lifetimes.

Homeownership does not need to be unattainable. Current homeowners should be able to afford their homes. Providing people and communities with the resources they need to flourish must be a priority everywhere.

FrAmework by Christina Daly

Letters Kreiss’s column in the Herald, and enjoyed none more than “Five-day tour of the Big Apple’s thrills and chills” (July 1-7), about her trip to Manhattan with her daughter and grandchild. I totally relate, having recently ventured back into Manhattan, most recently visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art and MOMA. I hope Randi caught the Alice Neel exhibit at the Met. I was unfamiliar with Neel, but wow, what a creative and gifted artist — from her earlier work of Communist party leaders, to motherhood, to people of color, to the architecture of her beloved Harlem and so much more. And, of course, all the wonderful art at MOMA. Sadly, somehow we missed Van Gogh and Calder, but will definitely go back sometime soon. But I have tickets to immersive Van Gogh, which I’m really looking forward to.

Living in Long Beach — and really, anyplace on the Island — it can at times seem, if you let it, like a chore to go into Manhattan, but once there, I quickly realize everything I love and have missed

about the city. There’s nothing quite like that energy, and it feels so great to see it coming back. I just love walking around, taking in the sights and sounds. The streets seem to be as busy as ever. And once theater reopens, I believe Manhattan will be back 100 percent.

Thanks to Randi for her oh-so-relatable columns, putting into words much of what I’ve felt, thought and experienced during Covid.
