Wing fans flock to Oceanside NY Best Wings Fest returns after two years By KEPHERD DANIEl kdaniel@liherald.com
Hundreds of fans of chicken wings flocked to Oceanside, descending on the South Shore Craft Brewery, on May 21 to celebrate the return of the NY Best Wings Fest. The wing fest is home of the official best wings championship, and restaurants from all over the nation are invited to compete for top honors in wing competition.
The event welcomed hundreds to a taste test of some of the best wings from the tristate area’s restaurants, which competed for the title of best wings. Lifelong Oceanside resident Matthew Kourie, of BestWingsLI, hosted the daylong chicken wing tour and encouraged residents to promote local businesses. Kourie said he is thankful to be able to host events such as these again
after the pandemic had put a halt to everything for two years. “I lost everything during the pandemic and the full experience went away, and now it’s about starting over and rebuilding,” said Kourie. The restaurants that came to compete for best wings included Brews Brothers Grille in Franklin Square (U.S. wing champions), Elsie Continued on page 9 May 26, 2022

Students get hands-on with ‘Math in Society’ High school students have all learned the quadratic equation, the Pythagorean theorem, how to solve for X and many other mathematical formulas and procedures. Math in Society, an elective course at Oceanside High School, gives students an opportunity to apply their mathematical knowledge in a variety of hands-on projects. The students recently offered feedback on their favorite topics and projects from the yearlong course. Many students mentioned the Hidden Figures unit, in which they watched the movie about the African-American women who played pivotal roles in NASA’s “space race” during the 1960s, which culminated in the United States putting the first person on the moon. After viewing the movie, the students and their teacher, Michelle Rinaldi, discussed the math that went into getting to and landing on the moon. Then the students designed and tested zip lines to apply the mathematics necessary for dropping a “lander” on a specified target. “I really liked Hidden Figures (and October Sky) because I have always been really interested in space and how astronauts and scientists do math equations to get to the moon or even up into space,” Grace O’Connor wrote in response to questions about which units she enjoyed most. —Kepherd Daniel

Vietnam vet to march as Grand Marshall jpellegrino@liherald.com
For Vietnam veteran Barry Lederman, his service didn’t end when he was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps in 1969. After his time in the corps, he dedicated much of his time to serving the Oceanside community by teaching youth about the service, helping other veterans and participating in community service projects. But his greatest post-military service will come on Monday when he marches as the Oceanside Memorial Day parade’s Grand Marshall. “I volunteer for the VA in East Northport where I do a lot of work with the physically disabled veterans and I do a lot of volunteer work and serve as Vice Commander for the Oceanside VFW,” Lederman said. “This past Monday, I went to the school six kindergarten class to give a speech about the service; a lot of school boards call me to do stuff like that pretty often. I also belong to the Marine Corps League in Massapequa where I set up for their parties and I’m going to do a flag raising ceremony at a park in Oceanside soon.” Although he lives in East Rockaway, he joined the Oceanside VFW post after finding a kinship with the members there. “All my friends are all Vietnam vets so we looked around at the East Rockaway, Baldwin and all the other local VFWs and found the nicest one was the Oceanside one,” Lederman said. “We met
a few other guys who were Vietnam vets and around our age, so we felt more comfortable and at home; you want to be among guys who fought where you fought” Lederman is originally from the Bronx and a graduate of DeWitt Clinton High School and at only seventeen-and-a-half years old was already eager to serve his country. “When I went to the recruiter, he said ‘I can’t take you, you’re not emancipated,’” Lederman said. “ ‘I said ‘whoa, whoa, whoa, ‘what are you talking about? I’m not a slave. He says, ‘you’re an idiot, you’re not 18 years old, you got to bring your mother here.’ And she came down to sign the papers and turns to the recruiter and says ‘he’s your problem now.’” After almost seven years of active duty and earning three purple hearts and one bronze star, he returned home to work for his former officer, Major More, of Banker’s Trust. “Him and I got very close,” Lederman said. “He said, ‘what are you going to do now? Come work for my family, we own Banker’s Trust, I’ll get you a job and I said ‘Why not, a job’s a job.’” Banker’s Trust was eventually bought out by former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross, who later opened his own company, called W.L. Ross LLC, and hired Lederman, where he worked for 40 years. However, in 2019, it was sold to Invesco and merged with Oppenheimer and all of its employees were given a choice to move to Singapore or lose their jobs. Lederman chose the latter in favor

Of the honor of being selected to lead the parade on Monday, he said. “I’m very, very proud of that; extremely proud,” Lederman said. “I have a little speech I’m writing right now about my tour of Vietnam; I’m not going to go into too much detail and show where I got shrapnel in my leg or got my head opened up but I’m going to talk about the good times and the bad times. I’m very loyal to the United States and I’m proud of every-
body else who is loyal to it because this is my country and I have no intention of ever leaving it.” The parade kicks off at 10 a.m. at the schoolhouse green on Foxhurst Road just east of Long Beach Road and marches through the local streets to the high school. It will be followed by a memorial service in the high school auditorium where various leaders from religious organizations and the VFW will speak, including Lederman.
Greeks gather again at Island Park fest By TOm CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com
Leaders of Panaghia of Island Park Greek Orthodox Church decided to have double the fun this year by adding a spring festival and fundraiser in May ahead of the summer event in August. After a difficult two years of the pandemic, the church welcomed the community back to its large tent behind the church from May 20 to 22 for g ames, raf fles, music, and famous Greek plates and desserts. “We decided that the weather is better – it’s not George Kazoulis as humid – and especially after Covid people have the need to get out,” Georgia Papathanasiou, President of the Ladies’ Philanthropic Society, said. “It’s a lot of work but a lot of fun. We feel like a big family here,” Church Council treasurer Andrew Babatsikos added. Newcomer to Island Park Father George Kazoulis, 36, joined the church January and was part of his first Greek

On May 16, Mount Sinai South Nassau Hospital held its 38th annual golf tournament and fundraiser across Long Island. Golfers had the opportunity to play at Rockaway Hunting Club, the Rockville Links Club, and The Seawane Club in Hewlett Harbor, where a reception and dinner was held afterwards. Mount Sinai also honored Rockville Centre resident and Deputy General Counsel of the National Football League Larry Ferazani. Town of Hempstead Councilman Anthony D’Esposito was awarded with a community service awards from Mount Sinai. “I don’t know that it’s an award as much as an opportunity for me to be able to thank the hospital and the doctors and administrators for the sacrifices they made, the vision that they’ve demonstrated in building a world-class hospital here in our backyard, and just so happened to

save my life two and a half years ago,” Ferazani said. “So ever since then, I’ve been super aware of the importance of having an institution like this, and that hasn’t happened by chance.” Ferazani credits Mount Sinai with saving his life after he had a near fatal blockage in his heart two years ago. D’Esposito was honored for his efforts with the town to provide Covid relief through the Vaxmobile, which has dispensed thousands of vaccines, and creating a testing site behind the hospital. “This is the largest hospital golf outing in the United States – we have 400 golfers, three golf courses – and obviously we raise money to continue enhancing the quality of our care at the hospital,” CoChair of Mount Sinai’s board of directors Anthony Cancellieri said. The proceeds from the event went towards the Mount Sinai and the Gertrude and Lois Feil Cancer Center.

Rocco Perrotta, a 50-year-old Rockville Centre resident, is one of many certified fitness trainers making an impact on many lives. Perrotta works at the JCC in Oceanside, where he trains 12 clients daily, helping them improve their physical fitness capabilities. He also performs private exercise training sessions at SportSet Health & Fitness Club in Rockville Centre. Perrotta’s goal is to help his clients strengthen their physical abilities and skills, but also demonstrate how exercise doesn’t have to consume all of one’s daily or weekly schedule. Perrotta’s love of helping people through exercise was born at a young age. His father always kept him and his two older brothers active in very innovative ways. “We didn’t always have the latest games that you can go out and buy,” said Perrotta. “My father would develop games and we would be hitting balls, playing baseball, doing pull-ups, climbing, and he didn’t realize it, but he made all kinds of exercises a lot of fun for us, which kept us in amazing shape as very young kids. He always had a trick up his sleeve to make us do something that we didn’t even see as exercise.” While he loved fitness at a young age, Perrotta went a different route when it came time to choosing a career. As he was in the process of becoming a fitness instructor, Perrotta backed out as the technology era was on the rise. “I was more into computers and they were getting big at the time and the money was a bit better,” he said. “My two passions were fitness and computers and computers just kind of exploded.” While Perrotta went into the world of tech, he still always made sure to keep active by playing basketball, racquetball and football with some friends. Perrotta didn’t leave the tech world fully for a long time, but he did many private training sessions, for no profit, where he would go through workout routines that he had learned with family and friends. “I was in the computer world for many years, but when you fix somebody’s health, it’s priceless and it’s more rewarding,” he said. “I was making quite a bit of money in computers, but eventually I went for more quality of life. That’s why I thought more about the health and fitness industry.” In between working with computers and training with individuals on the side, Perrotta became a Myofascial Pain Therapist, a type of therapy that involves specific manipulations of the muscles, fascia and connective tissues to promote healing and reduce pain. “I used the knowledge I learned from reading books about it and, from there, I worked on friends and family and everyone had the same response of not feeling discomfort and that was very rewarding,” Perrotta said. After Perrotta was furloughed from his computer job, he used the time to become a therapist in 2009 after enrolling at the

Rocco PERRottA HAs been able to achieve his dream through personal training. Pittsburgh School of Pain Management. After an intense yearlong training course, Perrotta returned to New York to improve upon helping people manage pain with his trigger point therapy knowledge and make a living by improving people’s health. While he once again had to return to his computer job to earn a steady paycheck, Perrotta, for years, attempted to find a way to make a living through therapy and fitness. “I was with my wife and we’ve been together since 1999, but it was only until I left my stressful job about four years ago that we got married because I was always working with computers while doing therapy and personal training,” said Perrotta. Focusing more on improving his quality of life, Perrotta decided to work closer to his home in Rockville Centre and four years ago, became a personal trainer at the Friedberg JCC and ever since has been training people who have many different issues and goals. “I’ve been working out for 40 years but without a trainer to push me, there are too many distractions,” said Gary Meyer from Long Beach. Everything has come full circle for Perrotta as he now has settled into his dream position. After his father instilled the love of fitness in him and his brothers, he now is able to use the same techniques his father used to get his clients to love to exercise. “I would have never been motivated to move and I wouldn’t have the strength I do,” said Ellen Stern, a member of the JCC. “Personal training is very beneficial.” Perrotta said he loves being able to help any way he can. “It’s very rewarding to see someone who has a problem raising their arm because of weakness, or a neurological issue, and you train that person to where they can lift their arm over their head, comb their own hair again, feed themselves again, scratch their own back,” he said. “To get people to live normal or improve their everyday life, that’s an accomplishment.”
Guitars a longtime passion for shopkeeper ing atmosphere where you could hang out, jam on a guitar and enjoy your time here,” he said. “It’s a safe haven for musicians to come hang out and enjoy gear and not push buying on them.” The store also has an 8,000-square-foot guitar warehouse in Freeport, which is where Zareno now spends most of his time as he continues to grow his guitar business. “I started off just fixing guitars and now I do data management and it’s turned into a lot of product and management data, web development,” said Zareno. While Zareno has to branch out and conduct other day-to-day responsibilities involving the guitar business, he still is able to step into Safe Haven Music and enjoy the passion that got him started. “At the end of the day when [management] gets a little draining, I can open up a cardboard box with a once-in-a-lifetime, super rare, handmade guitar inside and say, ‘This is awesome,’” he said. While he loves guitars, Zareno doesn’t believe he is as good as you would expect at playing the instrument, but he holds a high passion for guitars and his business, as well as being a young business owner. He said he had to understand the different levels of passions that customers coming into Safe Haven may have and also, more importantly for Zareno, learn to delegate responsibilities throughout a business that he loves.
“It was like definitely hard for me to transition away, but I couldn’t physically do everything,” he said. Zareno must remain on the warehouse floor working with guitar sales representatives, especially working alongside Stew Marder, who runs many of the in-store operations and, like Zareno, is an expert at guitar repair. “I see his work and it’s good and he’s also been doing this for years,” said Zareno. “With me trying to do a million things at once, it’s hard to be super meticulous about every single repair, so it’s good that he is very meticulous.” The guitar shop draws much attention by running a majority of business operations online on the store website, leaving it one of the few industries that were mostly unaffected by the Covid pandemic. “People were stuck at home, and people were buying guitars,” Zareno said. “That whole situation forced us to make everything online perfect.” While Zareno is still a very young business owner and living out his dream, he has plans to continue to grow his guitar business. “I’m good to keep going,” said Zareno. “I’m lucky to have had the opportunity to pursue this, to begin with, and I feel like I’m just getting started. There are still major brands I don’t carry yet and I see all these avenues in this business. I don’t think I’m going to be satisfied until I dabble in all of them.”

Bethpage Air Show flies back into the sky Annual event — featuring the U.S. Navy Blue Angels — takes off Saturday, May 28 By BRENDAN CARPENTER bcarpenter@liherald.com
Alexa Wahl was just 7 when her family began attending the Bethpage Air Show. Standing on Jones Beach and staring at the sky, she would watch the planes soar past quickly and gracefully. It was from that very moment Wahl realized she wanted to be a pilot. Now 23, the Deer Park resident spent time in high school “Googling every possible profession” because she felt becoming a pilot wasn’t possible for her. Nothing excited her quite like flying. So why not? Wahl decided to go for it. With no experience and just a dream, Wahl enrolled in the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College. After four years of learning to fly, she graduated from the program last December. Wahl’s now an instructor at the center — currently the only woman in such a role — mentoring future pilots. Yet, it was Michael Canders who helped her realize her dream. A military pilot for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy for more than four decades, Canders is an associate professor and the college’s aviation center director. It was ultimately up to him who the five aviation center pilots would fly in this year’s Bethpage Air Show. One of his top choices? Wahl, of course. “I was so surprised to be asked,” Wahl said. “I worked so hard, and it definitely paid off. But it still feels too good to be true.” Wahl and the other pilots from the center will open the show on Saturday, May
Want to go? The 2022 Bethpage Air Show is set for Saturday, May 28 and Sunday, May 29 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Jones Beach is located off Meadowbrook Parkway South. Admission is free, but there is a $10 parking fee charged on-site, but is waived for those with a New York State Parks Empire Pass. This year’s show is headlined by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, For more information, visit BethPageAirShow.com. Courtesy Alexa Wahl
AlExA WAhl, A recent graduate of the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College, will fulfill her childhood dream of flying in the Bethpage Air Show. 28 at 10 a.m., as the first group. Wahl will pilot the third plane in the line, flying a PA-28-161, otherwise known as a Piper Warrior 3. It is the same plane she trained with at points in the program, and is classified as “low-wing,” meaning it’s more stable and easier to control, making it better for new pilots to operate. Wahl will join the 44 other pilots from the Aviation Center at Farmingdale State College who have flown in the air show. Her mentor, Canders, will narrate the flights at the show and talk about the program for all the viewers to hear.
For some pilots, however, this air show will not be their first rodeo in the sky. Jessy Panzer is a true air show veteran. The Colorado Springs-based pilot was introduced to planes by her father, who worked at Duncan Aviation, a privately owned business jet service provider. He died in an accident when Panzer was just 10. When she is not doing air shows, Panzer works as a corporate private jet pilot. She began flying in air shows back in 2004, and the 43-year-old has since made her way to about 15 shows a year, except
for the coronavirus-ravaged 2020 dates. Panzer has flown solo as well as in duos and trios depending on the show. This will be her second time flying at Bethpage, but her first time doing it solo. “I’ll be back in my single-seat pink airplane,” she said. Panzer said she loves doing shows because “to see everyone’s faces after I perform, especially the little girls, makes it all great.” Panzer wants those girls to leave the show saying, “If she can do it, I can do it, too.” “I am very excited to be invited back to Bethpage,” Panzer added. “All performers work so hard to practice and maintain the planes so we can wow everyone in 10 minutes. A great show is going to be put on.”

Wings fans enjoy hot and sweet festivities

Blind Rhino came from Connecticut to enter its wings in the contest. same, but it’s always different, every single one, like a fingerprint.” The Blind Rhino came away with the People’s Choice for Best Wings. In the judge’s vote for the best traditional wings, Swingbellys BBQ from Long Beach finished first while The Blind Rhino finished second and Brews Brother’s Grill in Franklin Square finished third.
In the category of Best Buffalo Wings, Swingbelly’s Beachside BBQ finished in the first place, with The Blind Rhino and Brews Brothers Grille finishing second and third, respectively. In the category of For Best “Unique” Wings. The Blind Rhino finished first for their Tagarashi Brown Sugar flavor and Brews Brothers Grille came in second for their Cajun Wings and The Blind Rhino also took third place for their Plum Sriracha flavor. “The Traditional judging was pretty clear,” said Poch. “Swingbellys just knocked it out of the park. Their sauce had just enough heat and flavor to complement the perfect cook on the wings. The Togarashi Brown Sugar impressed the judges with its unique sweet flavors on top of a crunchy wing. Several other flavors were in the running for 2nd & 3rd places — and came down to a series of tie-breaking votes. “This was for sure the hardest competition to judge as every wing served was delicious,” said Poch. “The real winners were all of the wing hunters that assembled to take part in this amazing day.” While the restaurants were offering their food in hopes of being voted top wing, those in attendance not only got to enjoy food and music but also a wing eating competition, a contest Poch chooses to stay away from after his experiences in prior events. “I entered the wing eating competition at the end of the first wing tasting session,” he said. “In the second session, I couldn’t eat any more wings. It was much harder than I thought it would be.” While wing lovers continued to debate what kind of chicken wing is better, drumsticks or flats, they were all able to enjoy a clear, sunny day of music, wings and fun. “We were supposed to have rain all weekend and it’s a beautiful day outside,” Brimstone said. “Lots of people out and about, which we haven’t had in quite some time. And the food is incredible.”

continued fRom fRont page Lane Wing House in Bellmore and New Hyde Park, Tap Room in Rockville Centre, Churchill’s in Rockville Centre, the Blind Rhino in Connecticut, Swingbellys BBQ in Long Beach, and Smok-Haus in Garden City. The restaurants were in fierce competition to win the contest for best wings as the celebrity panel of judges came out for the competition. Some of the judges included: head judge Adam Poch, who was featured in the 13th season of the CBS reality TV show “Big Brother”; Kristopher Plummer, better known as “Chef Plum,” who has served on the judging panel for many food events, including past New York Best Wing Festivals, the producer of the popular series “Restaurant Road Trip” on PBS Connecticut and has been featured on the Food Network; culinary executive producer Kristen Hartley; and celebrity personality and professional wrestler, Brimstone, whose real name is William M. Kucmierowski. “The judges are a pretty tight-knit group of people,” said Poch. “We all know each other from different events, but we’re going to have a really tough time deliberating this year. I think everybody that came brought their A-game.” Many of the judges have presided over these wing competitions and all can agree that they are like no other food event. “Wings are good because not everybody loves brisket, not everybody loves mac and cheese, but I think everybody loves chicken wings,” said Poch. “Have you ever had anybody say they don’t like chicken wings? That’s what makes this event so good because you can ask anybody you want and they’ll want to come.” Brimstone added, “I’ve done a tremendous amount of these events where I’ve judged and hosted here on Long Island and it is always a wonder how many incredible wing people there are. They do such incredible work on these wings and you think everything’s going to taste the

Oceanside girls’ lacrosse proved that its regular-season success was not a facade, as the Sailors won their Nassau Class A quarterfinal playoff game against East Meadow, 16-3, on May 18. The third-seeded Sailors controlled nearly every facet of the game, indicating they are a true contender for the rest of the postseason. Coach Ralph Montera Jr. was elated to see certain tenets in their preparation carry over into the actual game. “The girls played with confidence,” Montera Jr said. “It was really all set up in practice this week, as they worked hard and believed in each other.” Offensively, ball movement and unselfish play were the central catalysts for the hefty goal total. Many of the Sailors’ goals were the byproduct of scripted sets and giving up a good shot for a better one. Nine Sailors scored goals, reinforcing how much of a team effort this was. Junior attack Megan Checola was a consistent source of offense, scoring five goals and adding two assists. Sophomore Maeve Barrins and senior Lily Johnson also were instrumental pieces of their attack, with each notching three points. Defensively, the Sailors were able to mitigate any momentum or rallies for East Meadow. Senior goalie Izzy Weintraub had seven saves, with many shots coming from point blank range. Sophomore Natalie Paul came up huge in certain junctures in both the face off game and in clearing. With this win, the Sailors advance to the semifinals where they were to face No. 2 Syosset on Tuesday at 6 p.m. after Herald press time. It will certainly be a strenuous challenge, but if they play with zeal and confidence like they did against East Meadow there is an avenue to victory. “We just have to keep playing confidently,” Montera Jr. said. “We were kind of the favorite in this game and the next game we are going to be the underdog. But we just have to play the same way and believe in each other.” For East Meadow, the central issue was

The Sailors proved to have a potent offense and were given ample chances to demonstrate that. Considering the way last spring went for East Meadow, this season was still a sizeable improvement and nothing to be ashamed of. The Jets beat Freeport in an elimination game to advance to face Oceanside. “For us, we went defeated last season,” East Meadow coach Nicolette Tortorici said. “To make it all the way this far is huge. We already felt so successful, and
we don’t have any regrets.” Despite the unfortunate defeat, the Jets still showed heart and fought regardless of the score. Senior Lindsay Solenski was persistent on offense, scoring two goals in the first half. She finished the season with 65 goals. Junior Isabella Pota scored a goal in the second half off a penalty, which turned out to be the final goal of their season. Sophomore goalie Dynastee Ramos had four saves on the afternoon, mitigating some of the Sailors’ scoring attempts. East Meadow finished with four wins against Conference 3 rivals.

cOnTinuing cOnSTRucTiOn iS great news for some peak commuters, but bad news for everyone else, as Long Island Rail Road restores some service while cutting others. Summertime trains, however, return Memorial Day weekend on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches.
OCEANSIDE/ISLAND PARK HERALD — May 26, 2022
include both the $2.6 billion Main Line Expansion Project and the $11 billion East Side Access project looking to provide new service to Grand Central Terminal. The Main Line expansion is adding a third track between Floral Park and Hicksville. MTA also plans to cut the 11:21 a.m., train between Farmingdale and Penn Station, as well as the 10:25 p.m., train between Penn Station and Huntington. Commuters are recommended to take the 10:37 p.m., train to Ronkonkoma, and transfer at Hicksville for the Port Jefferson-bound train. The 11:14 p.m., train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will originate in Hicksville at 12:31 a.m. Commuters are advised to take the 11:39 p.m., train from Penn Station toward Huntington to connect with this train. The 11:22 p.m., train between Huntington and Penn Station will end at Hicksville, where commuters can jump to the 11:48 p.m., train to New York City with added stops. But it’s not all cuts. MTA has added a weekday train departing Atlantic Terminal beginning at 8:22 a.m., making all stops to Jamaica. For peak trains, the 6:07 p.m., route between Atlantic Terminal and Babylon has been restored. Also, a new train departs Jamaica at 7:37 a.m., operating express to Atlantic Terminal, with connecting transfers from Hempstead, Baby-
STAFF REPORT It’s been many long months of track work through the heart of the Long Island Rail Road. But all that construction is in the “homestretch.” Commuters will just have to endure a little more inconvenience in the meantime. During off-peak hours, at least. Weekend service between Penn Station and Huntington now operates hourly, according to new details from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, with connecting service to and from Port Jefferson every two hours. Eastbound trains to Huntington depart up to 13 minutes later than what they did previously. Also getting a later start are midday weekday westbound trains on the Ronkonkoma line, by up to 25 minutes. Overnight eastbound trains will be as much as a half-hour late. Same is true for midday eastbound trains to Oyster Bay, although the 8:06 a.m., train from Jamaica to Oyster Bay will now depart a short time earlier at 7:53. “These service adjustments accommodate the final stages of work as we reach the homestretch of completing the LIRR’s most transformative projects,” said Catherine Rinaldi, the railroad’s interim president, in a release. “The schedule modifications optimize availability for crews to complete tasks while minimizing disruptions to scheduled service.” Those transfor mative endeavors

lon, Ronkonkoma and Oyster Bay Branch trains. The 6:09 p.m., train between Penn Station and Babylon will return to its normal schedule, stopping at Rockville Centre, Baldwin and Freeport only. The 7:12 a.m., train from Huntington to Penn Station will have an added Hicksville stop at 7:29 a.m. And the 6:21 p.m., weekday train between Penn Station and Ronkonkoma will now depart at 6:16 p.m. And one major piece of good news for those looking to get some sun: summeronly trains on the Long Beach, Montauk and Ronkonkoma branches return beginning Memorial Day weekend.
It’s a lot of new schedule to remember, which is why MTA officials recommend commuters depend on its TrainTime smartphone app, or by reviewing the Long Island Rail Road PDF timetables at MTA. info. The transit authority is making customer service agents available to answer questions each day using live chat through its app between 6 a.m., and 10 p.m. To get someone on the phone, dial 511, or (718) 217-5477, and simply say “representative” at the start of the prompt. Automated schedule information is available at that phone number, however, around the clock.

Concrete for a home by the water?
Q. We have always wanted to build a home from scratch, and want to plan a house that is modern, fireproof, hurricane-proof and checks all the boxes for a dream house. We have a property to build on, but realize the economy is working against us, since the cost of everything seems to be much higher than when we started our wish list. Someone we know suggested building with concrete block to save money, but the house will be near the bay, and we’re wondering whether it will survive a flood, especially since we know already that we have to have the living floor above the flood height. Ask The What do you recommend for building our home? Architect Concrete is what we’ve been seeing, but won’t that be expensive?
A. Concrete is a great choice for building in a flood zone, but not the best material system for saving money over alternate building systems and materials you could onte eeper choose from, especially for residential construction. The reason why concrete buildings are built, in general, is to meet much more stringent building laws to accommodate a larger number of people, protecting us from fire spread while being very strong and low in maintenance. The code (or written law) is in place to create safe buildings. Fire, wind and flood are very real and ominous threats. What you have typically seen in flood zone areas is first floor full foundations surrounding the garage and storage areas. Living spaces are required to be above the flood level. You have to be prepared for much more labor-intensive construction above the lowest level if you hope to build out of concrete. Concrete buildings require steel reinforcing rods — tons of them — set into configurations before the concrete is formed and poured. The concrete is generally formed from wood formwork constructed by carpenters, who must then strip the forms away from the concrete after it has set up and is curing. If this sounds expensive, consider that a wood structure, properly designed and covered in a flood-resistant membrane and cement board, can meet the same regulations for a lot less cost. This is only because one-, two- or three-story structures can still meet the requirements of current law without the excessive strength or flame resistance that larger buildings are required to have. Concrete block isn’t a better choice. It won’t resist movement like a monolithic, steel-reinforced concrete wall will. Steel wall studs covered with sheets of concrete board, finished with stucco, also stand up very well if anchored correctly, for a lot less cost. You can create the same modern look and avoid the cost of a full concrete structure if you use the wood or steel wall studs above the reinforcedconcrete lowest level. Instead of poured-concreteformed floors, consider wood floors that accommodate insulation better, resist fire and have a sprinkler system that will save the home and contents more economically as well. Good luck!

y friend Mike is a gentle soul with a quick sense of humor. We met when we studied journalism at Long Island University’s Brooklyn Center and worked endlessly on the school newspaper, Seawanhaka. I still see Mike once in a while, when a few of the old Seawanhaka gang get together at a diner. Mike would joke as always on those afternoons over lunch, and regale us with stories about his latest trip to Italy, where he and his JiM wife have relaBERnsTEin tives. Our conversations also took place online. Mike has always been with us on the issues of the day — our disbelief and fear at the rise of the radical right and the demise of what was once the Republican Party, our dislike of the gun culture, our deep sympathy with the people in Ukraine, our disgust with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But after the back-to-back mass mur-
T
ders over the weekend of May 14-15, in Buffalo and Orange County, Calif., I received an unusual email from Mike. “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” he began. He wrote that a cousin from Italy had been visiting, and went to a local gun range. He described the costs involved — $25 for a short “first time” course with an instructor, renting a gun for $25 per hour plus the cost of ammunition and the use of a target. He continued, apparently with some excitement, “They have all different kinds of pistols and some rifles.” His cousin had tried out a pistol, her friend had shot a rifle, and then they switched. She had urged Mike and his family visit the range. Then his note became alarming: “I’ve never fired a gun in my life,” he wrote, “but I think I may stop off at this place sometime this week and get my feet wet.” And then: “Maybe after learning how to shoot, I pick up a small but lethal handgun. I could get one legally, but it’s a huge hassle. I could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and
‘
i
buy one there. I’m just getting spooked by knowing that so many wackos in New York may have a gun.” I quickly wrote to ask if he was serious. His response was heartbreaking. “I’m serious about going to the range for some fun shooting,” he wrote. “Just for the experience. I am semi-serious about the gun.” In the back of his mind, he concluded, “I see myself shooting some a-hole who approaches me on the street asking for money.” Maybe that shouldn’t have been a surprise. America has become the gun capital of the world. In 2021, Americans bought about 19.9 million firearms, the gun industry’s second-busiest year on record. Our country has also become the mass-shooting capital of the world. The shooting in Buffalo was the 198th such incident this year. And the year isn’t half over. Mike watched the coverage of Buffalo just like the rest of us. He reads the newspapers the same as we do. But he seems to have come to different conclusions. He may, he thinks, need a gun. The rest of us old college newspaper
could always travel one weekend to a state with no gun laws and get one there.’
guys don’t think we do. We all have different thoughts and different reasons for thinking the way we do. And that’s fine. But I can’t helping wondering what happened to the Mike I’ve known for so many years, the guy who wrote funny columns for the college newspaper and is still funny after all these years. What is it he is afraid of ? And why? Many others have the same feelings and fears, and I have the same questions for them. I have no desire to own a gun. Why do they? Why do they see the senseless killing of Black shoppers in Buffalo, worshippers at a synagogue in Pittsburgh or a mass shooting in New Orleans, and think the solution is to arm themselves? The National Rifle Association has always preached that “the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun.” But the proliferation of guns has never seemed to me a solution to the proliferation of guns. Mike is a good guy who may well want a gun. The trouble is, how many other good guys are out there who feel same way? And why? Jim Bernstein is the editor of the Long Beach Herald.

When the coronavirus pandemic hits home
wo Sundays ago my husband tested positive for Covid-19. He was at home on the East Coast and I was visiting grandkids on the West Coast. It was the very last night of my trip; he called to say he had a cold, so we did the Covid home test together on FaceTime. He aced it, and not in a good way. He had Covid. I had been away for a week, but was leaving at 4:30 the next morning for home. He managed on his own for 16 hours while RAnDi I flew across the KREiss country and into ground zero for germs. I was super anxious all the way home, perseverating about vaccinated older people getting very sick. Dying. We have lost friends, and we have lived through all the dreadful accounts of ventilator hell. Since the beginning, we have been exceedingly careful with ourselves and others. How could this happen? Would it go well? Would I be next? After two years of hiding out and
hunkering inside and ordering in meals and missing family and friends, Covid still found us. After tracking the first available vaccines like bloodhounds and traveling two hours each way to get our jabs, Covid still found us. In our 54 years together, we’ve been through some stuff. Now my husband and I needed to get him through a global pandemic that has already killed 1 million Americans. I know how to be a good nurse, but there’s sometimes a mash-up among the head and the heart and the sense of humor. I can take blood pressure and use an oximeter and make chicken soup and basically devote my day to hydrating the patient. I also can worry myself sick with all the what-ifs. I can also laugh at the absurd. I developed my own prescription for loving care laced with a bit of dark humor. In the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so I was all in. No joking at all. As he improved, however, and when he started asking for seconds of dessert, and fluffed pillows, my inner Nurse Ratched
i
emerged. We set him up in our bedroom, and I moved into another room. Our rule was that, with a mask, he could come out for meals at a table in our den. I would put his food out and go back to the kitchen, which was my space. Initially he was grateful for every morsel of food and gesture of kindness. As the days moved along, he suggested I had overcooked his eggs and handed him the wrong salad dressing. You’re so right. This. Isn’t. About. Me. (I don’t really buy that.) But I’ve been doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, dog walks, dishwashing, obsessive, never-ending handwashing, and disinfectant spraying. Don’t get me wrong; he is a model patient. I am not a model nurse. Not as bad as the fabled Ratched, who did a job on Jack Nicholson in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” but I’m no Walt Whitman, either. Yes! You didn’t know? He didn’t just write poetry; he was a skilled nurse. We are now five days in since my husband tested positive. The CDC says
n the initial phase of my husband’s illness I was scared, so there was no joking.
he can go out and play. According to new guidelines, I was never required to isolate if I felt OK. We are not following these guidelines. We are both isolating until he tests negative. I will then test, and we’ll move on from there. Have no doubt: This Covid thing is one nasty bug. My husband has just about every pre-existing condition you can have, and he is feeling every one of his 76 years. The take-home lesson is this: We might be very sick or dead without the vaccines. Thank heaven and whatever powers may be, thank our scientists and our medical community and all the friends and neighbors and fellow Americans who took vaccines and boosters. I have no doubt at all that my husband’s apparent mild course of illness is because he has some protection from the vaccines. We were also able to get him Paxlovid, the anti-viral drug from Pfizer, and that seems to help, too. Today I can say, so far, so good. I hope he continues to do well. I hope I don’t get sick. Now I must make him a tuna sandwich, not too much mayo, a little bit of onion. Lightly toasted bread. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Your voice is more important now than ever
t’s likely the eve of the destruction of Roe v. Wade — an act likely to be met with cheers or outrage, depending on which side of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court abortion case people land on. And what comes next could very well be up to your state legislator. How the court could change course so dramatically in less than 50 years is something scholars will debate for a long time. But it’s not exactly unprecedented. In fact, it’s not even uncommon. The court has overturned its own decisions more than 230 times since 1810, according to the Library of Congress. That makes such actions an almost annual event, on average. Many of those mind changes were for the better. Like the famous Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka ruling in 1954, which upended the “separate but equal” policy established by Justice Melville Fuller’s court with Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. Miranda v. Arizona in 1966 created the “you have the right to remain silent” Miranda rights we see over and over on cop shows. But Miranda actually overturned two rulings from just a decade earlier, both involving criminal suspects who were denied access to lawyers during police interrogations. And there have been decisions that just made things worse. Like Citizens United v. FEC, which has helped shape the “soft

letters My body, my choice? Please! To the Editor: The argument about a woman’s right to control her body is confusing to me. It seems to apply only when certain parts of society want it to. They say confession is good for the soul, so perhaps that’s why Randi Kreiss felt the need to share with us that she had an abortion (“Threat to choice has women on the march,” May 12-18). The following week, a reader shared that she’d had two abortions (“Randi’s ‘raised voice for women,’” May 19-25). I’m happy that this reader was financially and emotionally ready to welcome children after her abortions. If all of our parents waited for that, I wonder how many of us would have been born. That’s not so much a judgment of these two ladies who shared their abortion stories, but more a commentary on our society. But where were these same coura-
money” political landscape we have today. In 2010, the court, let by Chief Justice John Roberts, ruled that giving money to political campaigns — no matter how much money — was an extension of free speech granted by the First Amendment. That ruling wiped out two previous Supreme Court decisions, including one brought by Sen. Mitch McConnell against the McCain-Feingold Act, which limited such campaign expenditures. Many of these legal “course corrections,” for lack of a better term, were met with controversy. And if the Supreme Court does indeed overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming weeks, its ruling will reverberate through a large number of elections and a wide range of legislation to come. Yet what’s before the court isn't a criminalization of abortion. Instead, it would likely return the country to what existed before Roe — individual states creating a mish-mash of laws ranging from full legalization of the procedure to its outright ban. New York has a complicated history with abortion. While many believe the state would remain pro-choice, it wasn’t always that way here. In fact, abortion has been legal in New York only since 1970 — legislation signed into law just three years before Roe of a procedure that had been outlawed, for the most part, since 1830. But abortion access will completely disappear in other states — the quickening
of a process that has been under way for the past couple of decades. The future of abortion in New York will almost assuredly lie with Albany. State lawmakers will be compelled to respond to the ruling, and could put in place laws codifying the original Roe ruling, dismantle legalization, or possibly finding some space in between. No matter which direction legislators lean, what is certain is they need to hear from you. For abortion? Against abortion? With conditions? No conditions? This is the time to speak up and be a part of the legislative process. We spend a lot of time reading — and hearing — about individual lawmakers’ positions. In the end, however, their job is to represent their constituents. That’s us. But they can’t represent us if they don’t know our positions on legislation before them, or the bills that could wind up on their desks thanks to the actions of the Supreme Court. Call your Assembly member or state senator. Write them letters. Send them emails. Visit their district offices. Don’t wait for someone else to speak for you, because if everyone waits, then no one is speaking. And with high court changing so dramatically in recent years, it's more important than ever to establish those relationships with lawmakers, because what happens next truly depends on you.

et’s be clear. The calculated illegal leak of a draft decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is akin to leaking the launch codes for America’s nuclear arsenal. It puts American democracy and institutions at grave risk. As challenging as it may be given the passions of both sides, we need to put aside whether we agree or disagree that the draft Roe v. Wade decision is a correct interpretation of the Constitution and appreciate the far larger issue: that the leak is a cyniRonaLd J. cal effort to corrupt the confidenRosenbeRg tial deliberative process of our judiciary. It not only improperly sought to create a national firestorm prior to the court’s issuing a final decision, but also to destroy the necessary confidentiality, internal trust and mutual respect needed among the justices and staff. Unlike the other two branches of government — Congress and the executive branch — which have elected office holders who are answerable to their constituents every two, four of six years — the
federal judicial branch has unelected judges and justices who are appointed for life. The reason our founders provided for this was to attempt to immunize them from the outside forces and partisan influences that are involved in getting reelected or re-appointed. The founders of this great republic enacted a Constitution that provided for an executive branch and a legislative branch, both of which are answerable to the citizens — and thus also subject to being lobbied and picketed by them. Judges, meanwhile, are obligated to decide matters impartially, without bias, prejudice or partisan influences, based solely on facts properly admitted into evidence in court and in accordance with applicable law. It is illegal for anyone to attempt to intimidate or influence judges outside court proceedings to try to get them to achieve your desired outcome. Picketing their homes or otherwise trying to intimidate judges or their families is a serious crime, and a threat to the premise of the judicial branch. Chief Justice John Roberts’s statement after the leak only hinted at his level of anger when he described it a “betrayal of the confidences of the

LetteRs geous people who are defending “my body, my choice” when we were corralled to get the Covid shots? Those who chose not to lose their jobs included firefighters, police, nurses and doctors who had no choice but to work to save all of us. And I would love for someone to explain to me why my family will have to take a Covid test to get back into the U.S. in July after a family vacation. Are there not thousands of illegals crossing our border every day who are neither tested nor made to be vaccinated? Get ready, people: “My body, my choice” is going to open up a whole new Pandora’s box. Physician-assisted suicide, or “medical aid in dying,” is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, and 10 years down the road, or sooner at the rate we’re going, I can bet you, in keeping with the disrespect for human life and the need for doing selfishly what is good for us, we’ll be looking at the following:
Court.” And words alone will not heal the historic damage done to the integrity of the court or sufficiently punish the leaker(s). In its wake, Roberts instructed the marshal of the court to conduct an internal investigation into source of the leak to Politico for the purpose of punishing those involved. There are those in Washington, however, who suggest that assigning this responsibility to an office whose role is not even remotely one of investigations is akin to asking a shop teacher to construct the Hoover Dam. He or she might be able to do it, but you wouldn’t put a lot of trust in the final product. At a time when the very integrity of the high court has been violated, there are voices calling for a stronger response. Glenn Fine, of the Brookings Institute, has written that what is needed is an investigative office worthy of its name and prepared for its purpose. In a recent commentary, Fine wrote, “This situation is why I argued … that the federal judiciary needed an experienced, professional, permanent internal investigative office — an inspector general.” Also in question is what happens to the traitorous individual who is ulti-
mately identified as the leaker? If he or she is an attorney working for one of the justices, the absolute minimum threat should be a highly publicized, humiliating permanent disbarment. The leaker should also face criminal charges, and if there is no current statute providing for criminal prosecution, Congress should immediately enact and implement one. A news service quoted Michael Frisch, described as a former disciplinary counsel in Washington, suggesting that if the perpetrator is an attorney, “It's going to be a career-defining, if not career-ending moment.” Americans need to understand that this leak went far beyond the question of Roe v. Wade. It sought to politicize part of our democracy that was deliberately set above and beyond politics by our founders. You may agree or disagree with the rulings of the Supreme Court, but it is designed to reflect the highest principles of what we call a democratic republic. Damage it and you damage that crucial foundation upon which America has been built and thrived for 233 years. Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

Getting rid of elderly parents who have begun to be a financial, emotional and social burden — or a husband who has Alzheimer’s, and whose wife is emotionally drained, can no longer afford to care for him at home and can’t afford long-term care because that will deplete her financial security. Disabled children, homeless people and then the mentally ill will all be at risk in this disposable society we are creating for ourselves. Many of us are looking around and not recognizing this country that we love so much. The “my body, my choice” movement is bringing all of this to a head. How dare that reader speak of “religion-saturated politics” and how it should not be allowed to damage this country more than it already has. Spare me your preaching, sister, because you’ve got it all backward. JAne DAnTonA GRoGAn Lynbrook
