OHS is making connections They come together in schoolwide fundraiser By KePHeRD DANIel kdaniel@liherald.com

Oceanside High School spent last Friday “Creating Connections” between students and faculty in a fundraiser for the Joseph Paul Wollweber Foundation. Nick Wollweber was a 14-year-old freshman when his brother, Joe, 24, died of a drug overdose in January 2019. As an 18-year-old high school senior, Nick has created the Joseph Paul Wollweber Foundation. “He was a great guy, he was my role model,” Nick said. “I looked up to him and we did everything together. He really pushed me to be a better person. He would lighten up a room. I

try to emulate and bring that to this foundation. It’s about being a good person and how that can change someone’s life.” Nick was inspired by John O’Shea, who runs the Ryan Patrick O’Shea Foundation. O’Shea’s son committed suicide two days before Nick’s brother overdosed and would start his foundation soon after his son died. “I met him [John] this past summer and the way he’s touching and helping people that have gone through what his son did and how he’s helping a lot of people through a bad situation,” said Wollweber. “It’s very moving to me and it’s become part of my healing process,” he added. “I struggled Continued on page 4

Pancake breakfast returns to St. Anthony’s The fundraising event drew families from all over the hamlet By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

A decades old Oceanside Kiwanis Club tradition returned to St. Anthony’s Church this past Sunday with a slight tweak. The club’s pancake breakfast fundraiser, now March Madness-themed, saw a few hundred guests of all ages come to the cafeteria in the lower hall of the St. Anthony’s school. The breakfast fundraiser was themed to the Super Bowl in years past but was pushed back and rethemed to coincide with the NCAA Men’s and Women’s basketball tournaments. No matter the theming, the event resumed its important work of bringing the community together and raising funds for Kiwanis Club activities and ‘Kamp Kiwanis’ – the organization’s summer camp in Utica for children with special needs. Many families came over straight from masses at the church that shares a parking lot with the school to take part in the raffles and games and get a breakfast of bacon, eggs, and of course pancakes. The raffle baskets included toys and games and were donated by several Oceanside businesses and schools. The same went for the food, as the pancake mix was donated by the iHop that hosted the event in front of their business last year. The Kiwanis Club provided an outdoor, heated tent on the cool morning for those who still are not completely comfortable returning to indoor activities because of Covid. Typically, the pancake breakfast brings in around $1,500 to go to Kamp Kiwanis and other children’s-focused events in Oceanside like the club’s Easter Egg hunt currently planned for April 9 at Merle

Avenue’s track. Nancy Baxter, a past president and past lieutenant governor of Oceanside Kiwanis, has been organizing the event for years. “The best part I think is in the morning when all the guys come in and chit-chat a bit and then get to work,” Baxter said. “Everybody pitches in and does their thing. Just seeing the camaraderie of everybody together is really heartwarming.” Baxter retires in June and was excited to experience the pancake breakfast one last time as a Kiwanis member. Those Kiwanis members back in the kitchen preparing the food included the current Oceanside President Mike D’Ambrosio and previous president Michael Graham of Mike’s Flowers in Oceanside and East Rockaway. “There’s a lot of components that go into Kiwanis

and it’s not just about having a fundraiser, but it’s also about brining kids into the community and giving them a sense of belonging into a worldwide organization,” D’Ambrosio said. D’Ambrosio also pointed to the Oceanside Key Club’s recent popcorn fundraiser, which raised over $45,000 for the Kiwanis Club for its other events and Kamp Kiwanis. The Key Club is the childled extension of the Kiwanis organization in local schools. Graham was excited to see so many Oceanside businesses help to put together the pancake breakfast again. “They all support one another and keep each other in business,” Graham said. Without them in our communities, we don’t have those donations for PTA’s, for Kiwanis, for the chamber, for anything.”

helpful,” said Wollweber. “To be able to get through those struggling times, you need to have that support system around you and getting to know your teachers better is a good resource to have. Kids now can get to know their teachers, have some fun with them and also know that they’re a resource if they’re struggling.” While Nick was struggling with the loss of his brother, Dowler and retired social worker Miss O’Hara served as a support system for him, and the Creating Connections fundraiser will help other students form those connections. While students could enter the raffle, donations were opened to all students and the school raised close to $3,000. Associate principal Joelle Mazun spoke about the success of the fundraiser. “It was great that so many people came together to make this happen,” he said. “It was overwhelming to see how many kids came out just being generous and with over 50 teachers putting their names out there to offer their time to spend quality time with kids and doing fun hobbies.” After witnessing the success of the Creating Connections day, Wollweber looks forward to more fundraising opportunities. “I want to make it an annual thing,“ he said. “I want to do more fundraisers because it’s a good cause. I’m grateful for the people that are being so generous. If we can raise this amount of money in just this school, I can’t imagine what we can do when we do involve the parents, the other schools in Oceanside and also the neighboring towns.”

a lot after my brother died and I was seeking purpose. I think with the inspiration from John and that I love helping people, it’s become a passion of mine. I can capitalize on a horrible situation. My healing process is trying to help other people speak up. And I want the people who are struggling to open up and feel more comfortable.” With the help of the high school’s health teacher, Sarah Dowler, who runs the school’s youth council, Sources of Strength and Oceanside Safe Coalition, Nick launched the Creating Connections school-wide fundraiser. “It’s a group effort,’’ Wollweber said. “Today wouldn’t have been possible without all the help from the health classes, youth council and Sources of Strength. They all just came together and knew it was a good idea.” In the spirit of strengthening ties between students and faculty, students participated in a raffle where they would have a chance to win a free period with a teacher and bring three friends with them. Teachers, administrators and security guards all volunteered to take a period of time to spend with students. Because the Joseph Paul Wollweber Foundation is not yet official, all the money donated from Friday’s fundraiser will be held by Oceanside Safe Coalition. The money will be donated to a local organization. “It wasn’t just about giving money to a good cause, but creating connections between students and the teacher is really

How did you make it? What made you come up with it?” In their upcoming presentation to the judges, students Conor Fee and Zainab Shakir will be making the pitch about why their project should be among the three winners. “I’m a little excited but a little nervous,” said Shakir. “We’re gonna have to do a lot of memorizing,” added Fee. Stea’s class will be the youngest to present to the judges, which Stea hopes will be an advantage. “They’re the youngest in the whole entire competition,” Stea said. “They’re the only sixth-graders and they’re from a regular elementary school. Those other kids are in high school, college classes and engineering classes.” After the presentation on April 25, the students will find out the next day if they will be among the three winners to net the $100,000 grand prize. Stea’s class can also earn additional prizes by being voted a Community Choice winner, receiving an additional $10,000 for their school.

Having already won over $50,000, with the chance to win an additional $100,000, Stea is hoping to use the money on

upgrading the classroom. “We want new technology in the room that can benefit [students] for years to come,” said Stea. “There are so many great things out there. Samsung has so many cool devices. We’d love to bring some new devices here

to the maker space room.” Meanwhile, the students also have ideas on what to do with the money. “We should buy a smart fridge and a load of cheese sticks,” said one student, Matt Vlahakis.

Nothing beats in-person for biz networking By JEFFREY BESSEN jbessen@liherald.com

The six long tables were evenly divided, with chairs on either side, with plenty of room for breakfast, coffee and some juice. The large conference room inside the Garden City headquarters of Richner Communications Inc., sprang to life, as the Herald publisher welcomed members of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce last week to do something they haven’t done much of during the pandemic era — get together in-person. “For almost two years, we did just Zoom,” said Frank Camarano, the council’s president. Although it was convenient under the circumstances, “I didn’t like it.” Pointing to the room full of people talking, either one-on-one, or in small groups, Camarano declared that “in-person is much better. We need in-person.” The council is a group of 42 chambers of commerce from across the county collectively addressing legislative issues that could have an impact on Nassau businesses. The council seeks to promote what it calls “economic security and enhanced growth.” Through promotion of campaign like “Shop Local,” the group looks to ensure a bright future for the businesses and the communities where they are located. “We just went to Albany and we partner with Suffolk County and Vision Long Island,” Camarano said. “We are a sound-

Breakfasts like these are held the last Thursday of every month except October, when the council holds its annual Businessperson of the Year and Legislative Breakfast that serves as a fundraiser for the organization.

With 24 community weekly newspapers and a website, Herald Community Newspapers has a wide reach, according to company president — and breakfast host — Stuart Richner. In fact, “92 percent of Long Islanders go to their mailbox daily,” meaning that traditional print products remain an effective way to reach existing and potential customers. That’s proven with a robust printing

business on the premises, as well as new products like the magazine LI Home. Richner also shared the recent success of its Business Women of Long Island Awards dinner where 400 people attended an inperson gala at the Heritage Club in Bethpage State Park. Spotlighting the talents of the in-house graphic designers, Richner added: “You can write on the back of a napkin, and we’ll turn it into something good.” All of Long Island was the focus of a presentation by Kristen Reynolds, president and chief executive of Discover Long Island, an organization that promotes Long Island as a tourist destination. She was joined by her chief operations officer, Sharon Wyman. Reynolds spoke about her 14-employee staff that oversees a $3 million annual budget — money generated from hotel occupancy taxes. Yet, her budget is paltry compared to the $37 million available to New York City. With 10 social media channels — including one on YouTube — Reynolds said Discover Long Island aims to tell people “what Long Island has to offer,” adding the group looks to host parties focused on events such as the Belmont Stakes. It will relaunch its website in October. To learn more about the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, visit NCChambers.org. For Discover Long Island, visit DiscoverLongIsland.com.

South Carolina offers sunny, affordable lifestyle

Northern winters are cold and dreary, summers full of roadway construction. Of course, we love life on Long Island. But if we’re ever considering a change of scenery, South Carolina hopes you’ll check out what the south has to offer.. “We’re getting lots of buyers from the north because of our climate, because of our lifestyle, and because our homes are very affordable,” said Jana Bantz, who runs Jana Bantz & Associates in Summerville, located just outside of Charleston. “People move here because there’s something for everyone.” Bantz joined Southern Trust loan officer Beth Greenlee and real estate attorney Michael Browder as part of the RichnerLive webinar series, Herald Inside LI. She gets people love their New York homes, but it doesn’t mean they can’t consider something new — or even something additional — in South Carolina. It’s a state filled with beaches, in-ground swimming pools, and plenty of flat land considered great for cyclists. Bantz lauded the world-class restaurants and art scenes the Charleston area also offers. Downtown Charleston is home to highend real estate with many historical homes dating back to the 18th century. Kiawah, a barrier island southwest of Charleston, is primarily a private beach and golf resort with nearly 40 such courses within 20 miles of the coastal city.

MovINg to SoutH Carolina could include living in a home like this one in the Charleston suburb of Summerville. This four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom house is nearly 3,000 square feet, and is listing for $549,000. Charleston, James Island, Summerville and West Ashley are among other many affordable suburban areas, all helped with South Carolina’s low tax rates. A property valued at $400,000 could pay as little as $2,000 in taxes each year if treated as a primary property, Browder shared. “People, especially after the pandemic, are looking for our Jana lifestyle and livability,” Bantz said. “The distance between South Carolina and New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is only a day’s drive away. Florida is a two-day trip. Being close to family is also a draw.”

And South Carolina’s location eases some of the more extreme weather patterns found in northern states. “The strong storms are mostly broken up by the breeze of the ocean before they get to the lowland,” Greenlee said. “Thunderstorms will occur more inland, but don’t count on Charleston getting any major tornados.” Bantz “Many of the children in the low country haven’t even seen snow,” Banta said. “So when it does snow, it’s a party.” Yes, there are hurricanes. Oceanfront homes would need to be secured. Interior

areas such as Goose Creek, Moncks Corner and Summerville, however typically only experience rain and wind. “We get 10 days’ notice before they arrive, so everyone just battens down the hatches and waits for them to go,” Bantz said. For those who do want to move don’t even have to wait for retirement. Charleston offers a booming job market with highend employers and top-notch medical services, according to the panelists. Medical University of South Carolina’s Teaching Hospital draws the best and the brightest young medical students looking to serve beach towns, among a plethora of hospitals in Moncks Corner, Mount Pleasant and Summerville. Anyone getting around Long Island last Friday needed heavy coats and maybe even scarves. But that wasn’t true in Charleston. “It’s a beautiful, South Carolina day,” Bantz said. “Sunny, blue skies. It’s 72. We broke out our summer wardrobe. Spring is here. Flowers are blooming, birds are building nests. It’s beautiful.”

A celebration of Long Island’s premier women By MARIA CESTERO mcestero@liherald.com

Dressed in pantsuits or even long sequined gowns, guests chatted in the lively atmosphere that made up this year’s Premier Business Women of Long Island awards gala last week at the Heritage Club in Bethpage. Part of Women’s History Month, the third annual event hosted by Herald C o m m u n i t y N ew s p ap e r s g r a n t e d remarkable women the chance to network with other successful peers, celebrating the culmination of their success. “I think it’s very important for young women to see an example of a woman who works very hard,” said Nadgeena Jerome, Miss Long Island 2022. “I think it’s really important to highlight those efforts, especially when there is a sense of inequality toward women that we try very hard to diminish, but unfortunately (is) still there.” Joining Jerome among the 49 winners was Leanne Pinard Baum, the owner and director of Miss Long Island Pageants, as well as Miss Long Island Teen 2022. Stuart Richner noted a remarkable woman in his life — Edith Richner, who founded Herald parent Richner Communications alongside husband Robert Richner nearly 60 years ago. The current company chief executive emphasized the importance of including and empowering women in all industries, all while promoting diversity in the workplace. “If she were here today, I have no doubt that she would be in disbelief at and extremely proud of the dozens of Long Island business leaders gathered here this evening,” Richner said of his mother. “While we have certainly come a long way in the past six decades, there is still a lot more work to do to achieve

News 12 Long Island reporter Antoinette Biordi joined them as a special guest speaker. One by one, each honoree accepted their award, encouraged by thundering applause and cheer from the crowd. Retha Fernandez described walking up to the stage as “amazing.” “Women, traditionally, we do work — sometimes without being noticed or recognized,” said Fernandez, Suffolk County’s chief diversity and inclusion officer. “But we do it for the love of the work, and just seeing what women across Long Island are doing is a form of inspiration, really.” Magdalonie Paris-Campbell described her Premier Business Women

awards as just the beginning. “Never give up and don’t stop believing,” said the AT&T Services area manager. “Even when the lights are dim, we (women) are warriors. The world is endless.” A portion of the gala’s ticket proceeds will be donated to Moxxie Mentoring Foundation, a non-profit that supports and fosters career advancement and leadership development of young women. “Our mission is to connect, collaborate and celebrate, and I hope you made some great connections here this evening,” said Amy Amato, corporate relations and events executive director at Herald Community Newspapers and RichnerLive, who organized the event. “It is a privilege to be here with such talented, driven and giving group of strong and fearless women.

Early voting begins for Brown vs. Lobl race By JEFFREY BESSEN

where to vote

jbessen@liherald.com

The battle to succeed Melissa “Missy” Miller in the Assembly kicks off what appears to be a much busier-than-usual off-year election year — when there is no presidential race — with fellow Cedarhurst residents Ari Brown and David Lobl facing off in a special election. Early voting runs through April 5, with the election itself two days later. Miller, a Republican, was appointed to the Town of Hempstead. She replaced fellow Atlantic Beach resident Bruce Blakeman, now Nassau County executive. Brown, 54 — a longtime village trustee currently serving as deputy mayor — looks to keep the seat Republican. He served on Cedarhurst’s zoning board between 1998 and 2001, a position aligning with his construction background. He joined the village board immediately after, becoming deputy mayor in 2019. That same year he was appointed chair of the Architectural Review Board. “I am eager to put my experience to work in the New York State Assembly,” Brown previously told the Herald. “Most of all, I am committed to be a sound and sensible voice in the face of the extreme politics that have taken hold in Albany.” Brown, whose name also appears on the Conservative Party line, says he plans to take a firm stand against attempts to

defund the police as well as bail reform. Lobl, 37, is a government and political consultant who has worked for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Previously a resident of Far Rockaway, Lobl — a Democrat — moved to Cedarhurst in 2020. He runs the Cedarhurst-based firm Asher Strategies LLC. Lobl was also the public and government affairs director for the Friedlander Group more than a decade ago, according to a social media profile, a company specializing in workers’ compensation. Lobl had a similar role with Human Car Services for Families and Children. He was a special assistant to Cuomo for six years beginning in 2012, before moving back into the private sector as a

vice president with Kasirer LLC, an influential lobbying group, where he remained until last year. “I think essentially the only way to make a difference in our community is to be a Democrat in the Assembly,” he previously told the Herald. “Being a member of the majority, you can accomplish your goals.” Lobl would work with “anyone and anybody,” he said, setting his sights on amending the bail reform law, supporting tougher penalties for hate crimes, delivering as much Covid-19 relief for businesses in the district, and fighting for equal funding for private schools. Both Brown and Lobl have had their issues, however. Brown, for example, was

Brown pointed to a 2019 state comptroller’s report vindicating the IDA, and pointed the finger instead at the school district. Lobl was identified as the person who approved what was considered an incendiary flyer that suggested Cuomo’s 2018 Democratic primary opponent, Cynthia Nixon, was antisemitic and supported the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement, which implored colleges and governments to stop doing business with Israel.

GOP candidates are ready for campaigning

OCEANSIDE/ISLAND PARK HERALD — March 31, 2022

By JAMES BERNSTEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

Will this be the year Republicans take back both Albany and Washington? That’s not likely at the state level, but more modern tradition on Capitol Hill has favored the party not in the White House in midterm elections, which gave members of the Nassau County GOP some confidence when they kicked off their fall campaign in Westbury last week. It was there they introduced their congressional and state candidates, sounding traditional party themes of lowering taxes, fighting crime, and “rebuilding the economy.” Republicans are particularly optimistic about their chances given high gas and food prices, perceived crime spikes in major cities, and Joe Biden’s waning popularity. “We are going to have a tremendous victory this year,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said. “People are living paycheck-to-paycheck. They can’t afford gasoline. People are realizing we are the answer to their problems, not the Democratic Party.” Topping the list of candidates is Anthony D’Esposito, a Hempstead town councilman seeking to replace Democratic congresswoman Kathleen Rice, who already announced she wasn’t seeking re-election. But the race for Rice’s seat is crowded, at least among Democrats. They include former Hempstead town supervisor Laura Gillen, county legislators Siela Bynoe and Carrié Solages, and Malverne mayor Keith Corbett. Jack Martins, a past Mineola mayor and a former state senator, is seeking another shot at his senate seat, challenging incumbent Democrat Anna Kaplan of Great Neck. Assemblyman Edward Ra, ranking member of the Assembly’s ways and means committee, also seeks re-

REpuBlIcAN cANdIdATES foR state and federal officers gathered at GOP headquarters in Westbury on March 25 to kick off the fall campaign. election. Other Republicans running for Congress whose districts include a portion of Nassau County are Andrew Garbarino, George Santos, Nick LaLota and Paul King. “I talk to a lot of people in the district,” said D’Esposito, a retired New York City Police detective. “They are fed up. People can’t put food on the table. They feel the country is off-track.” But Democrats see things a bit differently. Nassau County Democratic Party chair Jay Jacobs said in an email that “broken economy” includes a record-breaking gross domestic product growth of nearly 6 percent, the addition of 7 million jobs, and an unemployment rate

below 4 percent — “all while reducing the Trump budget deficit by $360 billion since Joe Biden took office.” Republicans know no Democrat running in Nassau County — or anywhere else — supports defunding police, Jacobs added. “Yet, they cling to it along with bail reform as if they are the causes of increased crime, when all the data proves otherwise. “The uptick in violent crime is a nationwide problem, and among the two greatest causes are gun violence and a lack of funding for mental health. Republicans continue to do nothing to control the influx of guns and wear mental health budget cuts as a badge of honor.”

In recognition of March as Women’s History Month, Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé honored Jackie Brown, owner of Emile’s Candies in Oceanside. Emile’s Candies has been in business since 1953 and is a true staple of the Oceanside community. Jackie is a Baldwin resident who grew up going to Emile’s Candies as a child. She had such fond memories of this iconic shop that, when the opportunity presented itself in 2017, she purchased it from Emile’s family. “Like so many business owners, Emile’s had to overhaul their business model during the Covid-19 pandemic. Rising to the challenge, she and her staff created an online ordering portal and even launched a local delivery service for residents in the area,” Mulé said. “Thanks to Jackie’s ingenuity and determination, Emile’s made it through and is once again open for shoppers to come in and purchase their signature sweets in person. As Women’s History Month continues, I’m delighted to honor Jackie Brown and celebrate her commitment to this cherished Oceanside institution.”

HOME Of tHE WEEK

• To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

Q. We’ve been discussing adding a room on the second floor, behind our kitchen, with views of the water. We spoke to two contractors, and one told us that we can’t use our existing deck to make the floor of the new room because it has an overhang that he called a cantilever, which is too far out beyond our existing deck beams. Is this true that we have to start over, instead of saving money by using our existing deck?

Rockville Centre

Classic Center Hall Tudor Colonial

A. What you heard may or may not be true, but unless someone with the ability and training to calculate the load distribution and confirm it with building codes can check it, you’ll probably never know if you could have saved the structure or not. The unwritten rule, compared with the code standard, is typically that repetitive floor joists onte eeper shouldn’t span more than 2 feet beyond a support beam. If calculations show that the bending moment, fiber stress and moment of inertia are within a safe range, however, then the existing structure may be able to be saved. It gets more complicated, though, because most decks have inadequate spread footings for the weight distribution underground, especially because people assume, incorrectly, that sandy soil is very stable. They also generally have little understanding of what freezing conditions can do to the entire structure. In other words, most decks are built based on many assumptions, but aren’t considered as big an issue if they move, since cracking and uplift generally aren’t a noticeable concern. It really doesn’t matter if a design professional is working on a big building or something as simple as a deck, because the ability to cause deadly problems and mistakes is still the same. It’s understandable that people want to save money by not hiring an architect or engineer for something seemingly so simple, but you may want to consider that most municipalities require plans prepared under the direction and review of a licensed professional, and not guessed at by someone with power tools who builds. Many people learn the hard way, especially when they go to legalize a deck long after it has been built and used for years, that the way it was built won’t pass and get a permit without expensive changes. There are many regulations, codes and laws regarding every kind of structure, from where it can be placed to the materials and methods of putting it together. It doesn’t take much, just a consultation with an architect or engineer, to find out the answer to your question. Building an addition close to water means making a little more effort to only do things once, especially with exposure to the conditions of higher wind and water force, corrosive salt air, saltwater and unstable soil. You may end up with a new structure, but when you think about the investment and your safety, it will be worth it. Good luck!

OpINIONS

ong awaited, spring, the season of beginnings, has begun. Though it happens with astronomical regularity, isn’t it interesting that we’re always surprised by the first buds, the first mist-like sheen of yellow in trees that looked lifeless for months, the first songbirds? The perennially anticipated equinox brings more than pop-up daffodils and lively robins to us this year. Mostly free of masks, marathons are back on, parades have returned, and we JOHN dine outside it’s so O'CONNELL because nice, not for fear of death. These signs of spring’s rebirth are worthy of being called blessings to count. Of course, we’re not completely “back.” We mingle, but still carefully, in restaurants and at parties, at the supermarket, at crowded ball games and in schools. We’re still cautious on the days we’re back in the office, and we’re fully masked for medical appointments. Subway, train and plane rides remain as masked as gatherings of thieves. Those reasonable restrictions notwithstanding, it’s time to get out.

How appropriate that this get-out-ofCovid-jail pass coincides not only with the northern hemisphere’s blooming time, but also with April’s holy celebrations of liberation: Pesach and Easter. Whether we’re commemorating our people’s escape from slavery or our redemption secured by the risen Lord, it’s our time now for freedom and rebirth. Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and probably all religions celebrate spring as freedom from fasting and a return to fruitfulness. Lured by the fresh scents of growing grass and budding crocuses, enticed by the sweet chirps of returning warblers, we’re ready and willing to escape our coopedup homes and enjoy all that our region offers. You may have your special spring escapes, but here are some favorite places to spend a spring day. The 409-acre Planting Fields Arboretum State Historic Park, in Oyster Bay, is an ideal venue for individual, couple or family walks among beautiful trees, spring gardens and greenhouses. If you’re by yourself, bring a book; there are plenty of benches on which to sit and read in peace. Less than five miles from the Planting Fields is Theodore Roosevelt’s family home at Sagamore Hill. The National Historical Site gives life not only to the president’s days at his Summer White House,

but also holds treasures from his journeys out West and to Africa. You can feel TR’s energy there. The grounds are inspiring. A few minutes’ drive from downtown Oyster Bay is the president’s gravesite, at Youngs Memorial Cemetery. After a full life, Roosevelt was laid to rest in this peaceful place in 1919, at age 60. Next to the cemetery is the Theodore Roosevelt Sanctuary and Audubon Center. Except for the chirps of countless songbirds, it’s a quiet place with education programs for adults and children. On the opposite compass point, one of the most wellknown beaches in the world, Jones Beach State Park, offers six and a half miles of broad, clean ocean beaches, nature centers, food concessions and a magnificent boardwalk. I’ve been going to Jones Beach for almost 60 years, and it’s never been better. For bikers, there are trails from Wantagh and other South Shore villages to the park and then east, beside Ocean Parkway. Freeport’s Nautical Mile has many waterside eateries and drinkeries, party boats, gift shops and fresh-fish markets. In Suffolk County, enjoy an afternoon at Riverhead’s Long Island Aquarium, a fun experience, especially for kids. There is a fleet of “open” boats for fishing at Captree State Park, just north of

e're ready and willing to get outside and enjoy all that our region offers.

Robert Moses State Park, another fabulous beach and recreation area. Looking to take the family to a professional baseball game without the crazy prices? Even Mets and Yankee fans will enjoy the L.I. Ducks, who play their first home games starting April 22. Town of Hempstead residents can enjoy a round of golf at excellent rates at the Lido Beach or Merrick courses. Oyster Bay golfers can enjoy the Hon. Joseph Colby course in Woodbury. This is an opportune time for Nassau County residents to purchase a Leisure Pass. It costs $36, gets you into many county recreation facilities and entitles you to valuable discounts. You can obtain a pass at most county parks. There’s lot of springtime in the 930acre Eisenhower Park. Larger than Manhattan’s Central Park, Eisenhower has ball fields, picnic areas, one of the best golf facilities on Long Island and one of the best swimming facilities in America. Reserve space for a family, team or organization picnic in Eisenhower Park or any of the many other Nassau County parks. Call your local county park after April 4; find every park’s phone number at https://bit.ly/3N6sEfL. Whatever your favorite springtime pursuits, now’s the time to shed winter’s shivers and bask in April’s warmth. John O’Connell is a former executive editor of the Herald Community Newspapers.

Where am I at 75? Reflections from the edge

rriving at age 75, alive, intact, and ready to roll into the future, I would like to share some reflections on the last seven-plus decades. I know. Can you believe it? Right? The main thing is, I don’t have advice for anyone. I never thought that teetering into older age necessarily conferred wisdom or the right to tell others what to do. So carry on, make your own mistakes. You will soar, you will fall, and if you get up, you will move on. I never made a big deal about birthdays, but this RANDI year is different. I KREISS feel changed by the pandemic experience, and inclined to be more open about the journey so far. Facing death will do that to you, and many of us have come to terms with our mortality, unless, of course, we deployed industrial-strength denial. Authenticity in myself and others has become key. I don’t want to dance the dance anymore. I have always abhorred small talk, maybe because I’m not very

good at it, but I have little tolerance for the “So, what are you watching these days?” although it is not beneath me to ask exactly that when I’m stuck with strangers. My preference is to get to the truth of the moment and exchange ideas, not chitchat. I feel a freedom that I didn’t always carry with me in my careers in teaching and journalism, and even in my life as a parent and friend. So many dinners with so many people who were part of our social life. We all had those circles. When our kids were little and we left them with babysitters, it was to see other adults. Some were dear, and the relationships were central to our well-being. But some were people who were nice to talk to but not emotionally connected with us. It was fine, back then, but these days, time is more precious. It has become a supply-chain issue, like everything else. With the pandemic, the entire paradigm of an adult social life shifted. We saw no one for over a year, and then, gradually, a few “safe” people, and recently a few more. What hit home is how nurtur-

ing and vital the special friends are. What is true, too, is that as you get older, even without a pandemic, some relationships ebb. Some of us have become less tolerant of the lapses that come with age. As much as I hated being at the children’s table when I was 5, it’s challenging to be at a table of 70-somethings. I can’t sit facing a bright light. My husband can’t hear everything. Someone else can’t get their artificial hip into the chair. Another one needs the heat set at 85. I learned, too, during these years of crisis, that the quality of a relationship doesn’t always depend on face-to-face meetings. I have held close to my heart a number of people through long emails and telephone conversations that aren’t hit-and-miss but planned and set in the calendar. Some others I see when we can, and when we do, it’s as if no time has passed at all. Instant connection, 5G at least. By the time I reached 70, I realized I had spent way too much time worrying what others thought of me. That might sound ridiculous from someone who

uthenticity in myself and others has become key. Small talk? No thanks.

writes a column that sometimes elicits death threats, but those are different. They aren’t personal. I could fret for days about an offhand comment I made to a friend that might possibly have offended. Or I could feel slighted by a remark from someone else. By 75, and not a moment too soon, I am moving beyond that hypersensitivity. My third-grade teacher, Mrs. Heller, told me I needed to grow an elephant skin, and she was right. It just took me a while. Another shift that comes in the fullness of our years is our drift toward the wings of the family stage, the fringe, the edge. You get it. We aren’t the main event anymore. That’s a very good thing. Our kids are officially launched. We have no 40-yearolds living in the basement. We do have an opportunity now to take on fresh challenges. Maybe all of us elders should go back to our full-time jobs now that no one else wants to work. Or just chill. Thank you for indulging me. Apparently, I’m having a “where did all the years go” moment. I am astonished to be 75 years old. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Support your local business, and your chamber

t was said to be cold that spring morning in 1768 when 20 or so businessmen gathered at Fraunces Tavern in Lower Manhattan. The goal was to create a coalition of merchants, intended to help — and even protect — one another. King George III wasted no time granting a royal charter. But within a few years, this bustling guild would be deeply divided between those loyal to the crown and those seeking independence. The revolutionaries ultimately won — both the war and control of the chamber, which grew from an organization supporting New York City to one that supported New York state. It is now known as the Partnership for New York City, and many credit the chamber for everything from the birth of the Erie Canal to the development of transatlantic cables to what would become the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. There are nearly 4,000 chambers of commerce spread across the country today, according to the Association of Chamber of Commerce Executives. And more than 40 them are right here in Nassau County, which is home to 150,000 businesses that employ more than 800,000 people. No matter how we break down economic development, two key components always remain — people, of course, and businesses.

letters We must reduce plastic waste To the Editor: The State Legislature is working on extended producer responsibility, or EPR, policy to address our serious plastic waste crisis. This type of legislation can hold producers responsible for what ultimately happens to the packaging they use to contain their products, with the goal of reducing waste and moving us to more easily recyclable materials. It is crucial that Albany gets it right. The petroleum, gas and chemical industries, the makers of plastic ingredients, as well as producers and packaging manufacturers, know this type of legislation is inevitable, but they don’t want it to cut into their profits. Right now, these groups are winning against groups that have only the environment at heart. But, producers shouldn’t be running the show and setting their own targets, and they shouldn’t be part of an advisory board, setting the rules and holding more power than environmental

Nassau is blessed with a number of the county’s largest employers, like Northwell Health, Catholic Health Services of Long Island and the Stop & Shop grocery store chain, which alone employs more than 8,000 workers, according to published reports. The NYU Langone Hospital isn’t far behind. But the vast majority of businesses are the ones where any of us can walk in, and we know the employees by name. We know the owners. We go to the same churches and synagogues, the same school board meetings, the same parks. And we depend on every one of these businesses, not just for the goods and services they provide, not just for the jobs and paychecks they create, but also for helping us establish the very sense of community we have come to enjoy. Some chambers, like the one in Wantagh, host Fourth of July parades every year. The Chamber of Commerce of the Bellmores is known for its street festivals and vendor events, including one coming up April 23. The Glen Cove chamber highlights local eateries with its regular Culinary Delights events. There are boardwalk fairs hosted by the Long Beach chamber, Kids Fests organized by the Merrick chamber, and car shows from the Oyster Bay-East Norwich chamber. And we can’t forget the Rockville Centre chamber’s Eat Shop Rock, which last

year attracted 75 vendors, 50 food trucks and 18 live bands. These extraordinary coalitions represent the very lifeblood of our communities. And all of them are part of a much larger consortium that helps enhance those voices even more: The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, which not only advocates and promotes businesses through programs like its “Shop Local” campaign, but also connects businesses with a number of resources, including grants, tax-abatement programs and even federal services, like the Paycheck Protection Program created during the coronavirus pandemic. “We are a sounding board,” council president Frank Camarano told a breakfast crowd that gathered at our Herald Community Newspapers headquarters last week, adding that the council wants to “give our members a voice.” With 150,000 businesses, it may feel impossible not to get drowned out in a cacophony of voices. That’s why chambers are more important than ever, especially as all of us recover from the economic turmoil of the pandemic, while climbing the mountain of supply-chain shortages and high inflation. There’s a reason why chambers are woven into the very fabric of our society: Without them, there simply wouldn’t be society.

opinions

n the 246-year history of the United States, a Black woman has never served on the U.S. Supreme Court. With President Joe Biden’s nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, that should soon change. A U.S. Senate vote on her nomination is expected next month. From an early age, Jackson was advised as a Black woman to lower her expectations. As the White House states, “When Judge Jackson told her high school guidance counselor she eLaine wanted to attend Harvard, the guidGross ance counselor warned that Judge Jackson should not set her ‘sights so high.’” She went on to graduate magna cum laude from Harvard University and cum laude from Harvard Law School, where she was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. Biden’s earlier announcement that a Black woman would fill the Supreme Court seat generated howls of protests from conservatives — similarly telling every Black woman who is qualified to fill the seat not to set their sights so high.

Republican presidents had previously promised to appoint women to the court, and appointed white women without controversy. Former President Donald Trump pledged to nominate a woman after the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2020; Ronald Reagan promised in 1980 to nominate the first woman to the court. Yet the promise to appoint a Black woman brought howls. U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, Republican of Texas, called Biden’s announcement “an insult to Black women,” adding, “Black women are, what, 6 percent of the U.S. population? He’s saying to 94 percent of Americans, ‘I don’t give a damn about you. You are ineligible.’” U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, Republican of Mississippi, said that as a result of Biden’s pledge, the first Black woman on the Supreme Court would be a beneficiary of affirmative action. The controversy comes from Biden’s pledging to appoint a Black woman, because that violates the racial hierarchy of structural racism. Structural racism is the historical and ongoing racial discrimination, segregation and marginalization of Black people — African-Americans in particular — that is typically instigated

Child care providers deserve to make a decent living To the Editor: I have been a child care provider in Freeport for eight years. I watch infants take their first steps and form their first words. I help toddlers handle emotions while they learn how to share and negotiate. The children and families I serve have

or sanctioned by government. Underlying it is the false notion that race provides a justification for treating people differently. But race is a social construct. All humans are 99 percent genetically identical. Racism is a concept created to advantage whites and disadvantage Blacks. If Jackson becomes the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, we should celebrate that longoverdue milestone and her extraordinary credentials. But we should not fall victim to the idea that she is the exception, a rare talent who had the unique credentials to break the glass ceiling. The list of potential nominees previously released by the White House showed that there are numerous Black women qualified to serve on the court. As we prepare to celebrate this milestone, we should also commit to three more actions. First, we should increase the number of federal judges who are Black women. According to the Pew Research Center, “Only 70 of the 3,843 people who have ever served as federal judges in the United States — fewer than 2% — have been Black women.” That under-representation on the federal bench restricts the talent pool for future justices with

e can't fall victim to the idea that Ketanji Brown Jackson is the exception.

attractive legal credentials. Second, we should address the role that structural racism continues to play in the segregation of public schools and the insufficient funding of schools in neighborhoods educating most Black students. The result is that millions of Black girls — including those with the potential to serve on the Supreme Court — are deprived of their rightful opportunities to succeed, and our nation is deprived of the added wisdom they can bring from their life experiences to the role of Supreme Court justice. Third, we should never forget the exciting and inspiring impact that having a Black woman on the Supreme Court can have on Black girls — and Black women of all ages. As a civil rights leader for more than 20 years and a Black woman, I can attest to how exciting and inspiring it is to see Black women take on new historic roles — Michelle Obama as first lady and Kamala Harris as vice president, to mention just two. The prospect of a Black woman on the Supreme Court is similarly invigorating — even after 246 years. Yet I can’t help but think about the countless Black women and girls who have been told — and continue to be told — not to set their sights so high. Elaine Gross is president of ERASE Racism, the Long Island-based civil rights organization.

FrameWork by Joe Abate

built a stable relationship with me and my staff, which is critical to child development. But the 16 children in my care come from families who qualify for a state subsidy. The subsidy is nowhere close to the cost of quality care. Throughout the pandemic, I and my staff have provided these children with a social and educational foundation while barely making minimum wage. How long can we afford to be underpaid? Members of the State Legislature have joined parents and providers who are calling for a big investment in the state budget to rescue the child care system. I really hope it happens before I have to close my doors. I hope leaders in Albany understand that if people don’t have child care, they can’t work. I also hope they realize that qualified child care providers are happy to provide quality care, if we can just make a decent living.
