U.S. Rep. Lester Wolff dies at 102 By LAURA LANE llane@liherald.com

FORMER U.S. REP. Lester Wolff, who died on Tuesday, first met John F. Kennedy when Kennedy was a candidate for president, on NBC’s “Between the Lines,” which Wolff hosted.

Lester L. Wolff, who was elected to the House of Representatives in 1964 and served in Congress for 16 years, died on Tuesday at age 102. He had lived for the past 21 years in East Norwich, where he remained active until his death. Wolff ’s wife, Blanche, died in 2000. In his later years, he spent as much time as he could with his remaining family, including his son, Bruce, and daughter, Diane, which he said was impossible to do while he was in Congress. Locally, residents remember the Democratic congressman for leading the charge in the 1960s to nix the building of a bridge across

Long Island Sound planned by then Gov. Nelson Rockefeller and developer Robert Moses. The bridge approach was to go from the SeafordOyster Bay Expressway terminus at Jericho Turnpike in Syosset, nor thwest through Oyster Bay Cove and cross Route 106 at the southern edge of Oyster Bay hamlet. Then it was to continue along West Shore Road and pass on either side of the Bayville drawbridge, either on the west side, across Mill Neck Creek or across Bayville, east of the bridge, and then across the Sound. Wolff asked the Department of the Interior to survey the area, leading the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to declare 3,204 acres of bay bottom, salt marsh CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Camps in Nassau County gear up for summer reopening By GEORGE WALLACE newsroom@liherald.com

With summer approaching and New York state protocols for operating summer camps under current Covid-19 conditions pending, area camps tentatively plan to use last year’s protocols this summer. The plans generally correspond to recommendations for camps recently released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, advising them to follow the same social-distancing protocols now being used in schools. They include keeping at least three feet of space between chil-

dren, and at least six feet when eating and drinking; keeping counselors and other adults at least six feet from children and one another; holding most camp activities outdoors, and if it is necessary to go indoors, there should be proper ventilation, including open doors and windows when possible. Area camp administrators are now waiting for these recommendations to filter through New York state and the Nassau County Health Department before implementing changes. “We hope to have guidance from New York state, and we’re waiting every day for it,” said

LUANNE PICINICH Owner-operator, Big Chief Day Camp

Jason Mercado, camp director at North Shore Day Camp in Glen Cove. “In the meantime, we will abide by what the Nassau County Department of Health gave us last year as a blueprint.” “We were open last summer, ran our camp with over 250 peo-

ple according to the Nassau County rules, and nobody got Covid, nobody passed it,” said Luanne Picinich, owner-operator of Big Chief Day Camp in East Meadow. “We will continue to follow last year’s rules, and hope that when the new guidance comes out, they’ll be a little more lenient this year.” All of the camp administra-

tors the Herald spoke with had standard procedures in place. Children are tested just before the start of camp, and then have a temperature check in the morning each day. Campers follow protocols for masks and social distancing, and interaction among small groups of students is limited. Parents must CONTINUED ON PAGE 2

fill out a daily screening questionnaire. In case there are any signs of illness during the camp day, children are brought to the “bumps and bruises” area and quarantined. The good news is that, according to the American Camping Association, Covid-19 intervention methods adopted nationwide proved to be effective in limiting the incidence of infection among campers and staff last year. According to Camp Counts, a nationwide study published by the group, in 2020 camps that were open for operating adjusted their protocols to incorporate a number of standard non-pharmaceutical interventions. As a result, out of almost 500 camps, representing 90,000 campers and staff, only 74 camps reported one or more cases, for a total of 30 campers and 72 staff. “The news is very encouraging based on last year’s results,” said Jason Wass, director of LuHi summer programs in Glen Head. “LuHi did not operate last year, but we recognize the challenges. We have an operational plan, but it is penciled in because things could change. We have a lot of large indoor spaces, and many of our activities are conducted outdoors, so there are adjustments that can be made. Are we going to rally together in the morning, and hold cheers? Probably not this summer. But big performances, like a BMX show, can still come to camp and be held in a big open space.” Some camps modified their facilities significantly, and carefully arranged pickup and drop-off arrangements. “At Big Chief, parents had to drive children in, no buses,” Picinich said. “The cars lined up in a church parking lot next door, and people were cohorted into the property according to their age. Every car had a color-coded pass so that they dropped this child off at their own group’s spot, 20 feet from the next group. Cohorts were brought to their own home base; there were no rallies where we all got together.” At lunch, the children sat on one side of

a table so no one would face anyone else. The camp set up a big outdoor tent for arts and crafts and built outdoor sinks and hand sanitizer spaces for regular hand cleaning. “If a group did have to go inside, we had air purifiers in every room, and used UV machines to clean at night,” Picinich said. “At the end of the day, all the equipment was sprayed down and sanitized.” As a private school, Friends Academy in Locust Valley has an early childhood program, from 3 years old, and a day care facility for infants and toddlers. So, administrators there are not unfamiliar with protocols for safely running a facility for children. “As of now we are opening a full-scale camp program, following guidance related to masks, social distancing, daily health checks and other measures,” said Edward O’Connor, auxiliary coordinator of Friends’ summer programming. “We’ll have no more than 12 students per cohort, which is a little more extreme than what we’re allowed, but we have to be very cautious and create an environment that is safe, but fun.” “Our family has owned and operated Big Chief for over 60 years,” Picinich said. “And as owners we had only one choice — to step up to the plate and do what’s right for our children.” So far, O’Connor said, planning is getting high marks from potential campers’ families. “We’re getting a rather strong response here,” he said. “A lot of families are calling, very nervous, but with our reputation, they know we do an impeccable job. That makes people feel very confident.” Other camps are seeing similarly strong public engagement as compared to last year, when industrywide most camps operated at 40 to 50 percent of normal. “It seems there’s a lot more people coming back to camp, and some camps are already getting close to capacity,” Mercado said. “Here at North Shore, we still have some room, but by the time camp starts, we’ll be pretty close to fully operational.”

Wolff was ‘tweeting and posting until the end’

OYSTER BAY HERALD — May 14, 2021

CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE and small freshwater wetland the Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge, crushing the bridge plan. “That was a big move by Lester because Rockefeller and Moses were very powerful people,” said U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi, a Democrat who currently holds the congressional seat once occupied by Wolff. “Lester was very clever, intelligent, passionate and courageous, that he would stand up to such powerful people. In those days, to successfully block people with such power was rare.” Everyone thought the subject of a bridge was closed, but it resurfaced when Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for a feasibility study in 2018 to consider the viability of building a bridge to Westchester County over the Sound. Wolff, who was in his 90s, attended all of the meetings to formulate a plan to defeat the bridge, speaking at each. People referred to him as a hero. Cuomo’s study was abandoned, which Wolff said was a relief. The Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge was renamed the Congressman Lester Wolff Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge in January 2020. “He lived a full life,” Suozzi said. “He was posting and tweeting until the end. Lester was a practical politician and had a good sense of history. He’d call me and tell me that I should call this person or do a press release on this or that.” Wolff was an expert in Asian affairs. The chairman of the House International Relations Subcommittee on Asian and Pacific Affairs, he led a congressional delegation to meet with Chinese Vice Premier Teng Hsiao-ping on July 9, 1978. Wolff ’s goal was to normalize relations with China. “After my meeting with Hsiao-ping, the United States shifted the policy with Taiwan to the One China policy, which states that Taiwan and China are parts of a single China,” Wolff explained in a 2016 Herald interview. “Teddy Kennedy and I wrote the Taiwan Relations Act” — which authorized the continuation of commercial, cultural and other relations between the U.S. and Taiwan — “in April 1979, which President Carter signed.” Wolff, a devout Jew, was proud of his work with Israel. His introduction of amendments to the Foreign Assistance Act of 1969 restored peace talks between Israel and the Arab states. These amendments ended up providing Israel with the F4 Phantom jets that later helped them win the 1967 war. Matthew Meng, president of the East Norwich Civic Association, knew Wolff well. “He called me last Thursday and asked where I had been,” Meng said. “We had both had our shots, and I was going to see him this week. Lester liked to talk.” He used a wheelchair, Meng said, so he was unable to leave the house as he once had, which Wolff missed. Meng was close with the former congressman, not only as a friend, but also as a “go-to source.” Meng said he would help Wolff by servicing his Mercedes or recommend a plumber or air-conditioner repair company. “I will miss the in-depth conversations we always had,” Meng said. “He would

WOLFF IN HIS extensive library in his East Norwich home, which included several books he wrote. He said in 2020 that he was honored that President Trump passed a law renaming the North Shore Refuge the Congressman Lester Wolff Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge.

Congressman Lester Wolff Oyster Bay National Wildlife Refuge Located on the North Shore in eastern Nassau County, the refuge includes subtidal (bay bottom to mean high tide line) habitats, saltmarsh and a freshwater pond. Oyster Bay is the largest of seven refuges in the Long Island National Wildlife Refuge Complex, and sees the most public use of all the refuges. The state of New York designated Oyster Bay a significant coastal fish and wildlife habitat. Marine organisms common to the refuge include northern diamondback terrapins, harbor seals, sea turtles, finfish and shellfish. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

tell me stories about how Congress used to work, and he never forgot a name, even from 45 years ago. He always thought that in order for Congress to work, they needed to cross party lines.” State Assemblyman Chuck Lavine, a Democrat, remembered Wolff as a friend too. “Lester’s contributions to our community, our state and our nation were truly extraordinary,” Lavine said. “All of us who worked with him were fortunate to have learned from him.”

The early days

Wolff ’s childhood in Washington Heights included sitting in the dugout at Yankee Stadium when the team practiced. His father worked for Rupert Brewery, who owned the Yankees. So, Wolff was able to see many games, too. “I met Babe Ruth, who was very congenial,” Wolff said in 2016. He added that the Babe patted him on the head on his way to the ballfield. “I met Lou Gehrig too, but he was very different than Babe Ruth. Gehrig was quiet and very reserved.” One of the best gifts Wolff said he ever

received was a signed Yankee baseball from his father for his bar mitzvah. It has all of the signatures from the 1932 Yankees, including Ruth and Gehrig. Education and family were incredibly important in the Wolff household. His parents taught him that it was important to receive a solid education. When Wolff was 10, he began to appear on the radio show “The Horn & Hardart Children’s Hour,” where he said the microphones were so high, he could barely reach them. And then in high school he won a scholarship to the Juilliard School for voice. Wolff entered the private conservatory at 16, remaining until he graduated at 18. But he didn’t just study voice. “I thought I was going to be a singer, and I learned to tap dance,” Wolff said. “I became a song-and-dance man and performed at clubs. I was young to do that, only 16, but it was unique for someone my age to do both.” He continued to perform for four years. “It helped me in later life to be confident before an audience and prepared me for

politics,” Wolff said. After he graduated from New York University, Wolff taught marketing there for two years. Although he enjoyed working as an adjunct professor, he quit once the U.S. entered World War II. He was unable to serve, however, because he was deemed a 4F because of his asthma, but that did not stop him from being involved in the war. “The Civil Air Patrol was started by a group of rejects that were either too old to serve or 4F,” said Wolff, adding that he was proud to have been involved in its creation. “We were a rag-tag group that wanted to volunteer for our country.” Wolff received the Congressional Gold Medal in 2014, the highest civilian award in the U.S., for his service on the Civil Air Patrol as a sub chaser.

Political life

Wolff had known seven presidents. He first met John F. Kennedy when he was a candidate for president, appearing on NBC’s political affairs program, “Between the Lines.” Wolff was the host of the Emmy-nominated program. After the interview, Kennedy leaned in and quietly told Wolff he should run for Congress. Wolff interviewed many elected leaders on the TV show, which eventually fueled an interest in his own involvement in politics. But he credited Kennedy with his decision to run for office. “He was brilliant,” Wolff said. “There really wasn’t anything that you could ask Jack that he didn’t know about. He was affable, a good listener and laidback.” There will be a memorial for Wolff at Temple Emanuel of Great Neck on Sunday at 11:30 a.m.

Cynthia Louise Lander Cynthia Louise Lander , 67, of Oyster Bay, died on April 29. After a hardfought battle with cancer, she spent her final days surrounded by her loving family and friends. A resident of Oyster Bay for many years, Cindy was born on March 9, 1954 in Clarion, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of James Philip Schierberl and Barbara Ann Schierberl. Cindy spent her entire childhood in Clarion, and though life eventually led to her New York, the town and people of Clarion would always be her second home. A graduate of Duquesne University, she worked for many years as the nurse at North Shore Hospital in Manhasset, and also as head nurse of the United Cerebral Policy Center in Bayville N.Y. Here, her glowing demeanor and caring attitude made her a beloved icon to both patients and staff alike. Her relationships with them carried on long after she retired to raise her family. Later in life, she would utilize her nursing skills again while working as a volunteer in Haiti, where she spent time working with underprivileged children.

An avid gardener and crossword enthusiast, Cynthia would complete the New York Times crossword puzzle on a near daily, a hobby she enjoyed every morning with a cup of coffee and her dogs, Lola and Ophelia. She is survived by her devoted husband of 34 years, John Edward Lander of Oyster Bay; daughter Laura Lander; son Johnny Lander and his wife Eliana. She is also survived by her two brothers and sister, James Schierberl of Erie Pennsylvania, John Schierberl and wife Brenda of Columbus Ohio, and Lee Payer and husband Mick of Cambridge Springs, Pennsylvania. A special thanks to her home health caregivers who were able to ensure that her final days were spent in the peaceful and loving environment of her home, surrounded by friends and family. Although the world will be a lesser place without her, the impression that Cindy made on all those she encountered means that her spirit will forever live on through the expression of love, compassion, optimism and friendship.

sory boards of Fleet Bank and Chicago Title Insurance Company. Ed and his wife Lynn chaired United Cerebral Palsy’s Forget-Me-Not-Ball six times, and Ed was honored as UCP Nassau’s “Man of the Year.” His congenial nature, wit and sincerity made Ed beloved among friends. He was an avid sports fan, and he shared a passion for playing golf with his wife and children. A skilled jazz drummer, he played with a subtlety and ease admired by professionals.

t’s been quite a ride. We were right in the middle of a huge panic-buying situation in the middle of March [2020]. Nobody was prepared for it. All of a sudden, we were getting in so many customers, and all of the customers were purchasing products to stock up. My employees were just amazing. We ended up doing four times our normal business for the next two weeks, and that just put us into a really challenging point. Getting product in from our suppliers was pretty difficult. Sometimes we found ourselves paying higher prices than usual, and just keeping those staple items on the shelf was really, really tough. It got to the point, after the first four weeks or so, where we said to ourselves, should we be doing this? Should we be keeping our doors open? We

required masks, but the store was still really crowded, so we decided to go to curbside only. A number of people decided that they were not comfortable working, so our staff was reduced. We didn’t have any online ordering, so we discovered a texting platform; customers would text us their order, and a staff member would shop the order. It was exhausting, but realistically it was the only way we felt we could do it safely. One of our managers, Ashley Casale, took on the project of online ordering, so now customers can order products online. Now we’re more back to normal, though we are limiting it to 12 people at a time in the store. It was really, really stressful, but it really showed us how amazing our staff is.

n the beginning of the pandemic, getting merchandise was probably the number one challenge, as well as keeping up with demands. The other main challenges were trying to keep my employees safe and working, making sure the customers feel safe, and keeping the store extra clean. Back at the end of March [2020], two employees died. They had preexisting conditions, but we had plenty of people, in one of my Queens stores, get sick. That was kind of before everybody started wearing masks and gloves, in the very, very beginning. If I had my employees wear a mask in early February, people would have walked out of my stores… the culture shifted 180 degrees in six weeks. The environment felt like it was changing every day, along with the level of expectations.

I did lose some employees, people who were afraid to come in to work and never came back. But we hired a bunch of new employees too, so we got a lot of new great people, and some people just kind of disappeared.Things are coming back down to earth, sales are coming back to pre-Covid levels, and we’re just trying to work on some inventory that we got stuck with, because we got stuck with odd sizes of toilet paper, odd sizes of paper towels, sanitizers that we overbought on. Before the pandemic, people weren’t really buying any sanitizers, and then the pandemic came and you couldn’t get any, so we bought whatever we could, and now we’re stuck with off brands at higher prices. But we’re cleaning up, trying to get the store back to where we were prior to the pandemic.

hen someone came into our store on a Friday and said that the governor was closing the state I didn’t believe them. That day everyone came in, with some spending $700. At the beginning, it was like a war going on. People were wide-eyed and panicked. When all of the other stores had empty shelves, we had food, paper towels and toilet paper. Some of our supplies are sold to restaurants, and since none were open, we asked if we could sell the supplies. We had to be resourceful. We did curbside pickup for those that didn’t want to come into the store and delivered food to seniors. They were all so isolated. It was really sad. They wanted to talk, so when I delivered to them, I would spend an extra 20 minutes with them. When we found out there was a local food

pantry, we put together groceries. It went in the garbage before. It would be appalling to me if I knew a child was hungry and I had food in a dumpster. I would be at work all day, and it was exhausting. When I got home, I would take off my clothes at the door and throw them in the washing machine, and I left my shoes outside. We saw a lot of people every day, and one never knew, so I was very careful. We sanitized the store at night and had gloves and masks for people and hand sanitizer at every register. People said they felt comfortable coming to us. So many said, “You saved my life. I don’t know what I would have done.”

’ve been here for 30 years. My sister and I have owned it for about 10 now. During the pandemic, we were pretty lucky that we didn’t have to close, but it was a tough couple of months. We didn't want our staff to get exposed to the public, so it was basically me, my sister and the baker. And that was it. We just struggled through it, and did the best we could. During the pandemic, we were donating to Nassau University Medical Center. People really weren’t having as many fundraisers then, but they’re starting to have more now. Now we’re starting to get a little bit more busy. You can tell that the size of the cakes are getting a little bit bigger, compared to in the beginning, when the pandemic first started and the cakes were very small. We’re getting

bigger cakes, which means they’re starting to have parties now. We have very loyal customers that have been great. We’re just a family-owned business, and family-owned businesses are starting to die out. Being a small mom-and-pop store is getting harder every year, and we’re glad that the East Meadow community support these local mom-and-pop stores. We’re just lucky. We’ve been here since 1976, so we’re pretty blessed that way.

A VARIETY OF activities will resume for senior citizens beginning May 17.

Senior citizen activities return after pandemic suspension With few restrictions and declining Covid-19 infection rates, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino announced the return of a variety of free weekday senior citizen activities offered by the Department of Community and Youth Services in community centers throughout the town. These popular programs, which had been suspended throughout the last year due to the global coronavirus pandemic, will return on Monday, May 17, and run through Friday, June 25. Line dancing, exercise and tai chi classes are just some of the activities seniors can enjoy as part of this year's program. "Senior citizen activities are returning this month and I invite our residents to participate in these free activities, where they can once again enjoy the company of others, make new friends, and stay active," said Saladino. "Our senior activi-

ties are some of the most popular programs the town offers, and I expect this year to be in higher demand than ever before as seniors can finally get out and be active as infection rates decline and vaccination rates climb." Beginning on May 17 and continuing through June 25, the following programs will be offered: line dancing, tai chi, exercise, book club, and more opportunities for socialization. Activities will run each day of the week, Monday through Friday. Seniors interested in any of these activities must reserve a spot in advance. Due to the pandemic and restrictions currently in place, class sizes are limited. Additionally, only one class will be permitted per week.

Airpower Museum to host Memorial Day shows

Courtesy American Airpower Museum

Among the AircrAft featured in the American Airpower Museum’s Memorial Day shows will be the Grumman TBM Avenger, a World War II era fighter plane. advanced supersonic jet aircraft to our present day.” Since everyone cannot be at Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, Clyman decided to stage this four-day salute so people on the beach, as well as those closer to home, can enjoy AAM’s warbirds. So, if you want to avoid the Wantagh Parkway crawl to Jones Beach, you can park instead for free in AAM’s lot and along New Highway. The Air Show will also feature a U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II, “The Warthog,” flying over Jones Beach. AAM has its own A-10, the nation’s premier close air support attack aircraft, and it will be display outside Hangar 3, with staff ready to answer questions about its special

features and armaments. Admission for adults is $15; seniors and veterans, $10; and children ages 5 to 12, $8. Tickets and pre-registration are not required, and admission is on a first-come, firstserved basis. The museum can now operate at 100 percent capacity, in accordance with New York’s May 19 lifting of pandemic capacity limits. However, there is still a need for social distancing, and guests must wear face masks and have their temperatures taken at the door. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all four days, plus AAM will be open Monday, May 31, Memorial Day.

In observance of Memorial Day Weekend, the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale will once again join in the Jones Beach Air Show, flying its “Arsenal of Democracy” warbirds over Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, May 29 and 30.. AAM’s fleet of restored military aircraft will include a B-25 Mitchell Bomber, Douglas C-47 Skytrain troop transporter, Grumman TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber, Curtiss P-40 Flying Tiger, P-51D Mustang Fighter, AT-6 Texan Warbird and AT28D5 Nomad Vietnam Era Fighter. On May 29 and 30, Hangar 3 will open at 10 a.m. Arrive early, park your car, sign in and enjoy the exhibits. During the morning, visitors will be called outside to watch as pilots start their engines, taxi and lift off, performing fly-bys with Republic Air Traffic Control permission, before leaving to join the Jones Beach Air Show. Have lunch and later on watch as the aircraft return from Jones Beach in the afternoon, touch down and taxi back to Hangar 3. Flight experiences will also be available each day on AAM’s AT-6 Texan and Waco Biplane. AAM will also welcome three visiting U.S. Navy EF/A-18 Super Hornets from May 27 to 30. The Hornets are supersonic combat jets, designed as both fighters and attack aircraft. Exclusive to AAM, Hornets are not in the Jones Beach Air Show and will be on AAM’s ramp all four days. Be there early in the morning as the Hornets touch down at Republic on Thursday, May 27. Hornets are scheduled to depart on May 31 or June 1. AAM’s World War II aircraft will also hold practice flybys Thursday and Friday in the morning and afternoon. According to AAM founder Jeff Clyman, the goal for this four-day salute is two-fold: “To honor the men and women of the ‘Greatest Generation’ who built, maintained and piloted the iconic warbirds of yesteryear in a bold defense of freedom during World War II, as well as active duty military, national guard and reservists who continue this mission and command the skies in

A

s someone who has been active his entire life, I consider “retirement” a dirty word. But sooner or later, all of us retire, or are retired by fate. I take note of the impending retirement of Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the president of Hofstra University. Having been a trustee of the university for almost 30 years, I have come to understand how significant Hofstra has become in this region and this state, and the role Rabinowitz has played. Hofstra is Long Island’s largest JERRY private college. It educates 12,000 KREMER students and has nearly 3,700 employees. It occupies 244 acres in the heart of Nassau County, adjacent to the Nassau Coliseum. Its campus is a model of greenery and a comforting atmosphere. Rabinowitz has been president for over 20 years, which makes him the longest-serving privatecollege president in the state. When I became a board member in 1991, Hofstra was a modestly sized institution with all of the typical college courses that were being offered at the time. Its

A

president, Dr. James Shuart, was a hardworking, affable guy, a good administrator and a competent leader. I like to describe the time after Shuart’s retirement as the Rabinowitz era. In the early 2000s, the private-college scene changed drastically. The economy suffered numerous ups and downs, and college presidents couldn’t afford to sit idly by. Hofstra was known as a commuter school, and hadn’t attracted much attention beyond Long Island. At the outset, Rabinowitz recognized that something more dramatic had to be done to make Hofstra a destination for students outside the bi-county area. Any college that wants to attract new students must be ranked by the various college publications. Course offerings and campus environment are a very big deal to any prospective student, and it was important for Hofstra to expand its offerings and make the campus atmosphere attractive and safe. Rabinowitz embraced the challenge with vigor. Today, Hofstra is one of only three schools in the downstate area that offer degrees in engineering, medicine and law. If you tour the campus today, you’ll find six new schools: the Donald and Bar-

T

bara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell; the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies; the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science; the Peter Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs; the Lawrence Herbert School of Communications and the newest of the campus buildings, the state-of-the-art Frank G. Zarb School of Business. Thanks to Rabinowitz’s dedication, the university is now known by rival schools around the country. One of his crowning achievements was Hofstra’s being the only college in the country to host three presidential debates. Few people know what a headache these debates are for any college that is chosen to stage one. Media from around the world descend on the campus, and the human and organizational demands of hosting such an event discourage most institutions from applying. Rabinowitz has not been content just to be the leader of a growing and successful institution. On numerous occasions he has been called on by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to head up state commissions, and he currently co-chairs the Long Island Regional Development Council, which has helped

hanks to Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the university is now known around the country.

deliver $727 million for over 900 projects. Some people would consider serving on these bodies a full time job, but Rabinowitz has managed those responsibilities without being distracted from the rigorous job of running a university. If you ask him what his greatest challenge has been in his years at Hofstra, he would probably say running a college in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. Providing an education for thousands of students — inside and outside the classroom — while keeping them safe is a herculean task for any college president, but Rabinowitz successfully steered the college through this monumental year-plus-long headache, often acting as if it were just another day on the job. Long Island has been blessed with many fine college presidents over the years. Rabinowitz would be the first to ask why he should be singled out for recognition, because that’s the Stu Rabinowitz many have come to know and respect. He will step down in August, leaving a lasting imprint not only on Hofstra, but on the entire Long Island community. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Gotta get up, get out and do something bold

s poet Mary Oliver asks, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?” In our (almost) post-pandemic lives, the question presses us for an answer. What will we do now that we faced the fact that our days are finite and fleeting? The remedy for a year of loss is a new season of action, and even daring. “Daring” is a relative concept. My ancestors never went west of the Hudson River. My dream is to go west, traveling across the country in the steps of the RANDI pioneers of the KREISS 1800s who headed for free land, independence and a new life in the wide-open spaces. I know I’m romanticizing the harrowing journey that could take up to a year and suck the life out of the voyagers. They raced west at 2 miles per hour, covering 20 miles a day — if they didn’t encounter an impassable river or hostiles hoping to raid their party. Some 250 years ago, a covered wagon was the cheapest way to move a household west, and there was strength in the num-

bers of wagons trundling across the prairies. For our Boomer trip, we plan to fly to Denver (skipping the flat parts) and then drive to California, about 16 hours. A wagon train is out of the question, so we booked an airplane and a rental car and will dine on fast food instead of jerky. In the old days, many of the westward travelers brought their cows and pigs along to keep them fed along the way. We will bring Lillybee the dog, who requires a reverse process in which we must feed her to keep her going. We have been to Komodo Island in Indonesia, the Arctic Circle in Norway and Table Mountain in South Africa, but this year, driving even partly across our own country feels thrilling. In some ways we are old school, or possibly just old. We bought an oversized road atlas that bumps the font up to something that is readable for us. My husband spends hours poring over the primary, secondary and scenic byways that could get us from Point A to Point B. I know we can use MapQuest and several other digital trip planners and maps, but this is way more fun. And anyway, on my computer the

I

AAA maps keep zooming in and out of control. One minute I’m looking at the road from Denver to Laramie and the next minute I’m in a hill town outside Bangkok. Along the way, we may not face Sitting Bull, who rightfully suspected that the emigrating hordes would kill his people and trash his world, but I expect we will be edified by the culture and politics of the places between the coasts. Read “edified” any way you like. Our first real challenge was booking plane tickets. Apparently, everyone is on the road. No exaggeration, the wait time to talk to a Delta agent was 3½ hours. Next, we needed a rental car. Very quickly we discovered that a reasonable car would cost way more than our flights. The pioneers didn’t even ride in their wagons because the terrain was a nightmare of ditches and holes and broken wheels. And while the western voyagers pushed ahead fearlessly, we piled on the insurance. Wagon train journeys cost as much as $1,000 for a family of four. Today, some rental car companies are charging that per day for large SUVs.

f you’re flying and driving these days, the rental car can cost as much as the airfare.

Then we booked a rental house up in a mountain town where wildfires are a constant threat over the summer and autumn. It may seem knuckle-headed to choose a fire zone for vacation, but it seems to run in the family. Our kids live there. At least we won’t face the pioneers’ hardships of limited diet and the threats of cholera, flu, dysentery, measles, mumps, tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Not that bouncing from McDonald’s to Burger King is a healthy regimen. We trust that our recent Covid-19 vaccines will still be effective in the coming months as we drive through areas where some folks don’t believe in either the disease or the inoculation. Our drive will take us from Denver through Wyoming and Nevada, into California. Part of me thinks we need not just a plan but also a plan B and a plan C. What if we get to Denver and we can’t get a rental car? What if we get to California but don’t feel like making the drive back to Denver for our flight home? What if we need to evacuate our rental house in the middle of the night? But the better part of me says westward ho. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

he Locust Valley Central School District, known for its academic excellence and superior developmental programs, is asking residents to approve its 2021-22 budget of roughly $90 million next Tuesday. We support this spending plan, and encourage voters to as well. Many people have experienced economic hardship as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. The budget keeps this in mind by keeping its tax levy increase to just 1.27 percent, the district’s lowest in five years. It’s also less than what schools in surrounding areas are asking for. And, of course, any spending plan should directly benefit students, and this one does. It keeps class sizes small, maintains all existing programs and

payers nothing — for a new artificialturf field at the high school, an eightlane track with steeplechase barriers and double runways, heating and air conditioning units in the Ann MacArthur and Bayville Primary school libraries and LED lighting in classrooms at the Bayville Inter mediate School and renovations of faculty restrooms. Replacing the current field, which is often marred with divots, would reduce athletes’ chances of injury and eliminate the need to travel to a field in Centre Island, owned by the Town of Oyster Bay, for games. And the new track would make it possible for the district to host the sectional finals. It’s time for Locust Valley athletes to play on their home fields.

Oyster Bay’s budget deserves your support

he Oyster Bay-East Norwich Central School District budget of roughly $61.4 million preserves all instructional programs and offers additional benefits for students. Prices do increase each year, so spending plans need to grow, too, to meet the challenges that schools face. It’s clear to us that the district has kept taxpayers in mind, by asking for an increase of only 1.86 percent over the current budget of roughly $60 million. And the estimated tax levy increase of 1.4 percent is lower than this year’s 1.53 percent. These figures, and what the budget promises, leads us to recommend its passage. According to a study by WalletHub, a personal finance platform, Oyster Bay High School ranks among the top 10 high schools in New York state and the top five

will move the district forward technologically by expanding its pilot program of Promethean boards in classrooms, which help teachers by offering interactive displays. If the budget passes, the district will hire a director of guidance and school counseling for college and career placement, and there will be 15 new high school courses offered for college credit. Keeping students’ futures in mind, the budget offers career exploration in the form of internships and externships. And there will be more opportunities for students to participate in athletics, including bowling, boys’ varsity volleyball and unified basketball. We support Proposition 2 as well, which would utilize $3.7 million of capital reserves — and therefore cost tax-

LETTERS When will America grow up on guns? To the Editor: I just read Scott Brinton’s column “The story that haunts me all these years later” (May 6-12). In 1970, on my last day of a 415-day tour of duty in Vietnam, I learned of the killing of Jeffrey Miller. Awaiting the flight home, listening to the Knicks game (the “Willis Reed game”) on Armed Forces Radio, and reading the Army’s Stars & Stripes, I had survived my tour of duty. Meanwhile, Jeff, the younger brother of my great friend Russell Miller, was one of the four students killed by the Ohio National

on Long Island. This is a result of the district’s commitment to students’ academic success and college preparedness, and its belief that a well-rounded school experience is essential to personal growth. Passage of the budget would allow the district to continue its good work to enrich students and help them to secure a bright future. A full-time Mandarin Chinese language teacher would be hired to work with elementary and high school students, and a Mandarin program would be offered to sixth-graders as an introduction to foreign languages. The spending plan also includes funding for potential coronavirus expenses so the district will be prepared in case the virus spikes again. We support Propositions 2 and 3 as well. Both would be funded by capital

Reserves, costing taxpayers nothing. Proposition 2 would replace some instructional devices and interactive boards, and fund the purchase of iPads for kindergartners and Chromebooks for seventh-graders. These upgrades are important to ensure that children remain competitive, and can take advantage of all of the opportunities technology offers. Passage of Proposition 3 would facilitate the replacement of windows and plastering at the high school, and maintenance at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary and the James H. Vernon School. Sound buildings are important for safety and comfort. We urge residents to vote “yes” on the budget and both propositions, which are sound investments in our children’s future.

ews sources are filled with reports of claims about “woke” universities and corporations (awake to racial injustice), complaints about critical race theory (that race is an invented category used to oppress people of color), and anti-racism training sessions (often designed to help white people experience being a member of a minority group). In addition, organizations and institutions are making plans to ensure DEI: diversity of membership, equity for all people ROBERT A. and inclusive practices to ensure that SCOTT Black and Brown people are not excluded. The partisan divide already evident in our society is being deepened by those who complain that this focus on race is motivated by “hatred” of America. For others, “woke” initiatives are urgent calls for a national reckoning of public policies and private prejudices that explain the vast differences in wealth and opportunity between whites and Blacks. Our history is replete with discrimination against Native American and Asian citizens as well. Unlike our own, the German government has supported reparations and museums to acknowledge public and private complicity in anti-Semitism, the Holocaust

and other war crimes. In South Africa, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission did something similar. Here in the U.S., the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Ala., and other memorials were inspired by the Holocaust Museum in Berlin and the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, but are supported privately. The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington received $270 million from the federal government — the cost of one corporate Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The balance of the funding was raised privately. In America we have no federal acknowledgement of racism and slavery, and standard school curricula ignore this history while they celebrate such “achievements” as western expansion. Meanwhile, police officers use federally provided military equipment and weapons against Black motorists and pedestrians. In response, large crowds protest and called for change. Some have called for “defunding” the police, because armed forces on the streets belie a commitment to community protection. There is no denying the force of institutional racism in our country. The question is how to acknowledge and fix it. We need the courage to listen to the pleas and engage the truths. We need to foster an honest respect for history and differences. We need to take affirmative action to com-

LETTERS Guard at Kent State University during a protest against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. I had survived a more than year-long combat zone tour, and Jeff had lost his life while on a college campus. The irony is still palpable. Russ is a friend still. We have memories of our Bronx neighborhood, Cub Scouts and stickball. Jeff was 20 years old when he died. Justice was not served in 1970. Perhaps the George Floyd case is a step forward, but gun culture remains a real barrier to advancement, to my mind, in American society. In Vietnam, I never fired my M-16 in anger or defense.

3,070 days later, still no action on Sandy Hook To the Editor: Re “The heartache of gun violence con-

pensate for past injustices and promote fair opportunities, based not on skin color but on the consequences of state, federal and private sanctions. President Lyndon Johnson introduced his idea of affirmative action 56 years ago by arguing that “Freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” It is not enough, Johnson said, just to open the gates of opportunity. Those who have suffered discrimination must have the resources necessary to walk through the gates and take advantage of the opportunity. These resources include housing, nutrition, adequate schooling, safe neighborhoods and protection, not persecution, by the police. Arguments about white privilege and advocacy of anti-racist training can be instructive, but they are not sufficient. They do not make up for government policies that denied access to housing, education and business development, as occurred with the post-World War II G.I. Bill. They do not compensate for the pri-

vate prejudices that continue to limit opportunities in education and employment. They do not bring reparations to compensate for 400 years of discrimination. Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson, a Democrat, is the lead sponsor of H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to study reparations for slavery. She has said that bringing the bill to a vote in the House would be “cleansing” for the country, and asked her Republican colleagues not to “cancel” debate on the issue. The 13-member commission, Jackson explained, would “study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination, hold hearings … recommend appropriate remedies … and consider what form a national apology could take for the harm caused by slavery.” Those in favor of reparations argue that “today’s descendants of enslaved people and those who look like them continue to suffer from the lingering legacy of slavery and persistent racial inequities.” So, instead of accusations of white privilege and woke universities, let’s have a serious discussion of the past, how to acknowledge it and what to do about it. We need more history and less histrionics. Germans and South Africans were not afraid to confront their past. Surely we can do the same with honest listening and civil discourse. The truth shall, indeed, set us free. Robert Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and the author of “How University Boards Work,” Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018.

tinues” (April 29-May 5): The editorial stated, “Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, when we pledged to never allow another mass shooting like this to happen again after 26 were killed,” but the “we” applied only to the vast majority of the American public, and obviously not to all 535 members of Congress — as our elected leaders have now failed to pass common-sense gun-control legislation for an astounding 3,070 days since the tragedy. Unfortunately, the shooting death of a single beloved Stop & Shop store manager will surely not produce any gun-control laws if the 20 killings of 6- and 7-year-old first-graders in the Sandy Hook slaughter did not. But I wish it somehow could help shame Congress into attempting a do-over for their failure even to ban assault rifles after the Newtown, Conn., massacre. Dec. 14, 2020, was the eighth anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. To me, a retired elementary school teacher, it will always be another “date which will live in infamy,” even though it did not take the 2,000-plus lives that led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to brand the Dec. 7, 1941, bombing of Pearl Harbor with the phrase. RICHARD SIEGELMAN Plainview
