RVC’s Gillen to run for Congress Former TOH supervisor vies for Rice’s seat By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

Rockville Centre resident and former Hempstead Town Supervisor Laura Gillen announced on Feb. 24 that she is running for Congress in the 4th District. The seat will be open at year’s end, because U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice, a Democrat from Garden City, announced last month that she would not seek re-election. Gillen became the first Demo-

crat to be elected town supervisor in more than 100 years in 2017, but lost her bid for re-election to current Supervisor Donald Clavin, a Republican from Garden City, in 2019. Gillen told the Herald that she was motivated to run again because she wanted to help the congressional district’s constituents. “I’ve always believed in community service, and helping my community and serving in government,” she said. “I want

to do the right thing and help the right people. I’ve been just waiting for the right opportunity to come along again, and when Kathleen Rice announced that she wasn’t running, I thought that this was another way that I could get involved and help my community.” As supervisor, Gillen grappled with Republicans who held the majority on the Town Board, CONTINUED ON PAGE 17

Tanker driver swerved to avoid hitting car

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — March 3, 2022

By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

The driver of the tanker truck that flipped, crashed into a building and caused a massive fire on Feb. 16 told police that the accident happened after he swerved to avoid a car, according to a police report obtained by the Herald. The driver, identified as Emanuel Thornton, of Bay Shore, was picked up by police officers in Bellmore after getting out of a taxi that was taking him home from Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital in Oceanside at about 3 a.m. on the day of the crash, and he was released by police after questioning at about 5 a.m. The gasoline tanker was headed east on Sunrise Highway at about 1:11 a.m. on Feb. 16 when it struck the vacant La-Z-Boy Fur niture Galleries store, which had been closed for months. The crash sparked a massive fireball as some of the tanker’s 9,200 gallons of fuel spilled from the truck, and part of the building collapsed. Black smoke billowed into the air as the fire spread to the sewers beneath the street. The crash also caused gasoline to flow into Mill River, which killed several animals, including waterfowl, fish and red-eared slider turtles. State environmental of ficials said that there was no other visible impact of gasoline in the river beyond the small area where the animals were found dead. The police reports do not assign blame in the crash. Thornton was driving for Bay Shore-based Rocket Express Corp. In the wake of the crash, Thornton’s truck was destroyed, and the building had to be demolished. Some 25 fire departments from surrounding communities rushed to the scene, along with the village

Fire Department, Police Department, Department of Public Works and Office of Emergency Management. The state Environmental Conservation and Transportation departments and the Coast Guard were also on the scene. The crash led to power outages and lane closures on Sunrise Highway, and the DEC spent more than a week remediating the site and excavating contaminated soil. “We are thankful to the surrounding fire depart-

ments who came out and supported us,” village spokeswoman Julie Grilli said on Feb. 17. “We’re proud of the Rockville Centre Fire Department, the largest all-volunteer department in the state, and thankful for our village employees, as well as help from the county and state agencies.”

Long Island Rail Road peak fares return By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

Craig Gordinner said, “we need the old schedules back.” LIRR ridership had decreased rapidly at the height of the pandemic and contin-

Similarly, homeowners would have to pay an incremental amount for the increased demand on village services, such as sanitation, electric and water. Parking would become a major issue in neighborhoods and residents would lose a great deal of their privacy. I would like to thank Hochul and Lieutenant Gov. Brian Benjamin for hearing my concer ns during our meetings and phone calls that this one-size-fits-all approach for zoning does not work. I want to thank my fellow elected officials from both urray sides of the aisle, as well as the residents who spoke out and opposed this harmful legislation. Our collective voices were heard in Albany and the governor recognized that this mandate as proposed would do much more harm than good. While the proposed ADU mandate has been pulled from the executive budget, we still need to be vigilant against any attempt by Albany to take power away from local governments. We are the closest level of government to the residents and businesses in our community and we best understand the community and its needs.

Please Do Not Serve Alcohol to Youth Under 21

NY Law Determines A Driver Is Significantly Intoxicated To The Point Of Committing A Criminal Offense If Their BAC Is Measured At 0.08% Or Higher.

The RVC Conservancy is kicking off its fifth annual tree planting program this spring. The initiative started in 2018 to remove and replace diseased Bradford Pear trees. Now, with most of the diseased trees gone, the Conservancy members said they hope to add to the over 200 new trees they have planted by offering six options to continue to keep the village beautiful. Last year alone, the group, partnered with Barbato Landscaping, planted 100 new trees. The RVC Conservancy paired up with Barbato when it once was contracted by the village for its landscaping needs. Barbato grows all of their trees on the North Fork of Long Island. RVC Conservancy board member Matt Cliszis is encouraging residents to plant on their front lawn if they choose one of the larger options that might not fit on the strip of grass many RVC houses have close to the street. “It’s exciting to know that people are now reaching out proactively to us asking when the program is starting up again,” Cliszis said of the Conservancy’s growth over the last few years. “It’s encouraging that it’s gaining momentum and that more people are aware that we do this every spring as a supplement or bookend

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — March 3, 2022

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recently retracted proposal to mandate accessory dwelling units not only endangered the suburban dream, but it presented an overwhelming threat to the services we have come to expect from our local governments and school districts. The proposal would have required local governments to pass legislation allowing ADU’s — apartments in basements, attics, garages or even backyard cottages — and override local governments’ power to regulate single-family and multi-family housing across New York state. As president of the New rancis York State Conference of Mayors and mayor of the Village of Rockville Centre, I know firsthand that residents do not want to lose singlehouse zoning. Homeowners want to control the character of their community and that begins with local zoning. If we lose that control, it endangers our suburban way of life with larger classroom sizes, increased use of our roadways, a strain on local services and first responders, and threatens our environment. This proposal also would have put an enormous financial burden on the residents in these suburban communities, like Rockville Centre. Homeowners would

Reverse mortgages:

Another option for seniors

If you have a lot of home equity and are 62 or older, a reverse mortgage can be a practical way to supplement your income. It can also pay for overdue home improvements, get rid of outstanding debt and more. Tapping your home’s value with a reverse mortgage is not appropriate for everyone, since it’s relatively expensive and can affect the legacy that you leave for your heirs. In some situations, though, it’s the best option for staying in your home while easing cashflow constraints. A reverse mortgage is a loan secured by your property, just like a regular mortgage. The difference is that you don’t have to make any payments as long as one of the borrowers continues to live in and maintain the house. The principal can be paid over time, in installments if you wish or in a lump sum. Interest accrues on the outstanding balance, but the lender can never recover more than the value of the home. Your risk is fixed, the bank’s is not. You must continue to pay your real estate taxes and homeowners insurance. Depending on the type of reverse mortgage, you may receive equal monthly payments for a fixed amount of time. You may receive equal monthly payments for as long as least one borrower lives in the home. You may receive a line of credit up to a fixed amount, which can be

used like a checkbook or credit card. You may arrange a line of credit in addition to equal monthly payments. There are also a variety of interest rate options. Your mortgage professional can explain these options in detail. Eligibility To qualify for a reverse mortgage, the borrower must be at least age 62.There are no minimum income or credit requirements. For most reverse mortgages, the money can be used for any purpose; however, the borrower must pay off any existing mortgage(s) with the proceeds from the reverse mortgage. A pending bankruptcy that has not be finalized may slow the process, but is not a disqualifier. Before borrowing, applicants must seek financial counseling from a source that is approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development ( HUD). The counseling is a safeguard for the borrower and his/her family, to make sure the borrower completely understands what a reverse mortgage is and how one is obtained. Understanding Potential Benefits A reverse mortgage can be a help to homeowners looking for additional income during their retirement years, and many use the funds to supplement Social Security or other income,

RecRuiting a great team is Really simple.

meet medical expenses, pay for in-home care and make home improvements. There are also flexible ways to receive the money from the reverse mortgage: a lump sum, a monthly payment, a line of credit or a combination. A reverse mortgage can supplement your income while allowing you to remain in your home . The proceeds are usually not taxable since they are a loan not income (consult your tax advisor). In most cases, proceeds may be used for whatever purpose you deem appropriate, whether it be retirement income, health care, travel, home improvement or spoiling the grandchildren. Repayment Terms If you and your spouse are co- borrowers and one of you moved or passes away, the loan is still not payable as long as one borrower continues to reside in the home. In the event both or single borrower passes away, the estate has one year in which to sell the house and repay the balance including interest, or refinance. Again, the estate is only liable up to the value of the house. If the house value declines below the balance of the loan interest, the lender takes the hit, not the estate. In the event the borrower(s) moves or sells the home, the loan becomes payable immediately. Any proceeds above the bal-

ance owed on the loan are retained by the seller Cost And Fees Typically, the interest rate on a reverse mortgage will be less than a traditional mortgage. Closing costs and other fees can be usually be included in the principal amount of the loan. Lenders are required by Federal law to fully disclose all the proposed costs of the loan over the life of the loan. Bottom Line The best way to determine if a reverse mortgage make sense for you is through a one-onone consultation with a qualified mortgage professional. Some questions to consider: √ How long do you intend to stay in your home? √ Are there opportunities to put the value stored in your home to better use — i.e. invested at a higher rate of return than the interest rate on the loan? An experienced and knowledgeable mortgage professional can help you answer these questions and more by discussing with you your unique situation. As with any important decision, it’s important to make a educated choice.

South Side cruises into semifinals By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

For the second time in as many playoff games, South Side made an early statement and never looked back in a convincing victory. The fifth-seeded Cyclones scored the first 10 points of Wednesday’s Nassau Class A boys’ basketball quarterfinal at No. 4 Floral Park and dominated all facets on the way to a 61-29 blowout road win before a standingroom-only crowd. Junior Jamie Murphy scored a team-high 15 points, senior Luke Schwartzberg added 14, and junior Josh Garelle and sophomore Ryan Kennedy chipped in 8 apiece as South Side (16-5) punched its ticket to the semifinals March 1 at Hofstra. “We really try to preach defensive intensity and being active with our hands,” South Side head coach Jerry D’Angelo said. “Offensively, I thought we did a really nice job especially with rebounding in the first half. We didn’t shoot particularly well, but we gave ourselves a lot of second and third chances.” The Cyclones, who rolled past Lawrence 64-36 in the first round last Friday behind junior James Bivona’s 18 points, will face topseeded Manhasset in the semifinals March 1 at Hofstra. The other semi features No. 3 Garden City and No. 10 Valley Stream North. Manhasset has won 21 of 22 games and defeated South Side twice during the regular season on the way to winning the Conference A-III title with a 14-0 mark.

“They’re the top seed for a reason,” D’Angelo said of the Indians, who sent Jericho and Plainedge packing so far. “They’ve got great size and in both games we played them, there was one quarter where they just pummeled us. We need to play our best and we need to play consistent.” South Side’s last 64 minutes has been nothing short of spectacular, so it heads into the semifinals playing arguably its best basketball of the season. Murphy and Bivona hit treys, senior Robert Pericolosi a pair of free throws, and Schwartzberg a putback to open the floodgates early at Floral Park. The Cyclones scored in double digits in every quarter while limiting the co-Conference A-IV champion Knights (16-4) to no more than 8 points in any quarter. “We made a concerted effort coming into someone else’s gym to try to match their intensity, and I think we did,” D’Angelo said. “Our strength is our depth. We go pretty deep every game and the kids push each other every day in practice.” The Cyclones led 16-6 after the first quarter, 31-14 at halftime, and 49-22 entering the fourth after Schwartzberg (8) and Murphy combined for 14 third-quarter points. Chris Naronis led Floral Park with 16 points. “We out-rebounded them and hit some big shots,” said Pericolosi, who had 10 points in the first-round playoff win over Lawrence. “We still have to work on rebounding and shooting going into the next game. Both times we played Manhasset, we didn’t shoot well.”

Media Origin Inc./Herald

JUNIOR JAMIE MURPHY (15 points) helped lead South Side to a convincing 61-29 victory at Floral Park on Feb. 23 in a Nassau Class A quarterfinal playoff matchup.

Revving up the electric Rivian truck By LISA MARGARIA lmargaria@liherald.com

TWINS RENEE AND Nevaeh Warren were born at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre on 2/22/2022, or “2’s Day” as some have called it.

Twins born on ‘Twos-day’ at Mercy Hospital By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

On Feb. 22, or 2/2/22. also dubbed “2’s Day,” twins were bor n at Catholic Health’s Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre. Renee Warren and Nevaeh Warren were born at 9:20 and 9:22 a.m., respec-

tively. They each weighed about 4 pounds and were born at 33 weeks. At press time, the girls were in Mercy’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit as they were born early, but doing well. Mom and dad were over the moon excited with their new bundles of joy and said they couldn’t wait to take them home to Far Rockaway, Queens soon.

I’ve never driven a truck, never mind an electric truck – that is, until Rivian Automotive drove its truck, the world’s first electric pickup, to the Herald’s office in Garden City on Feb. 23, as they stump for a proposed New York state measure that could increase sales. The truck exterior of the vehicle looked smooth, shiny and futuristic, with retractable handles and cylindrical headlights. The vegan leather interior was accompanied with a new-car smell and looked alike to many trucks – except for its electric dashboard, where the gas gauge was replaced with a battery percentage, and it’s large, 15.6 inch touchscreen, where features like the backup camera picture were displayed clearer than ever. Electric vehicles could be the new norm sooner than later, as State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Democrat who represents the 9th Senatorial District, and State Assemblywoman Patricia Fahy (D-Albany) are sponsoring a bill that will make EVs more available in the state. In 2021, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced finalized contracts for the state’s largest renewable energy and transmission project in 50 years, which included goals to derive 70 percent of state electricity from renewable resources by 2030.

The project plans to put more EVs on the road – in 2014, then Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed 850,000 by 2025 and two million by 2030 – as gas-powered transportation accounts for 30 percent of the state’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Farmingdale, Executive Director Adrienne Esposito. “Cars are mobile polluting machines,” Esposito said. “They produce carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, all of which pollute our air, cause an increase in asthma, heart disease and respiratory ailments.” New York has achieved only 3 percent of Cuomo’s goal. This is because in 2014, a state law prohibiting the direct sale of EVs from manufacturers, specifically Tesla at the time, was passed after lobbying efforts by car dealers/ The Automobile Dealers Association is pushing back on the legislation. “This is not about the environment or an ‘old fashioned’ group stuck in its ways,” the group’s communications person Nick Crispe said in an email. “This is about livelihoods and good paying jobs with healthcare and benefits in every community on Long Island with a network to provide electric vehicles to everyone who wants one. We are thrilled an excited by electrics and welcome the companies and their amazing vehicles but just ask that they play by the same rules.”

Although she had difficulty dealing with her RepubliLaura can counterparts on the board, Gillen said, the experience taught her a great deal. “I was in a really difficult circumstance,” she recalled. “It was a Republican-controlled board, but sometimes we would come together and get things done.” She added that the 4th District was important to her because she has lived in it for her entire life. She was born at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre, grew up in Baldwin, went to school in Hemp-

stead and now lives in Rockville Centre with her husband and four children. Gillen said that there are many issues that are important to her, including keeping Long Island affordable, keeping children safe, protecting women’s reproductive rights, national security, gun control, and reinstating the full federal tax deduction for state and local taxes. In addition, she said, she believes that both sides of governmental aisle should have representatives with more moderate views, rather than those on the extreme right and left. “I entered public service 30 years ago and never left,” Rice posted in a statement on Gillen Twitter on Feb. 15. “It has been the honor of my life to serve as a prosecutor, district attorney, and U.S. representative in my beloved home state of New York. I have always believed that holding political office is neither destiny nor a right. As elected officials, we must give all we have and then know when it is time to allow others to serve.” Gillen said she planned to run on the Democratic platform, which means there

Gillen on the issues On women’s reproductive rights: “I believe in a woman’s autonomy to make her own health care decisions, and that’s what I’m going to advocate for.” On guns: “We have to do what we can to support getting illegal guns off the street. We’re worried that what we see going on in New York City is going to come over here to Nassau County … A lot of these people who are committing these crimes are mentally ill, and we will likely be a primary: County Legislator Siela Bynoe announced on Feb. 22 that she, too, would run for Rice’s seat. “I’m proud to announce I’m running for Congress to represent the values, hopes, and dreams of the extraordinary people of Nassau County’s CD-4,” Bynoe wrote on Facebook. Bynoe, a Democrat from Westbury, has been a legislator since 2014 and represents Rockville Centre, Lakeview, Westbury, New Cassel, Hicksville and Uniondale. As the Herald went to press, Legisla-

need significant funding for mental health resources, and that goes across the board.” On climate change: “We are a South Shore community. We have water all around parts of CD4, and as supervisor, I did a lot of things to advance initiatives that are going to help us, and I’d like to continue. It’s only a matter of time before another Superstorm Sandy comes our way.” tor Carrié Solages, a Democrat from Valley Stream, also announced his candidacy. He is the legislator for District 3. Gillen said she welcomed the challenge, and believed that her accomplishments on the Town Board showed her ability to work on behalf of her community. “We’re going to run a campaign based on my record of fighting for families in the Town of Hempstead, which comprises most of CD 4,” she said, “and I’m going to do it for the rest of the families in CD 4 as well.”

Q. We’re looking to buy our first home, and the one we like most has a strange thing we’ve never seen before. There are tree trunks in the basement that hold up the support beam. Is this OK? They aren’t even or straight, like a wood or steel post, and even have some knots in them. Should we be concerned, even though we’ve already made an offer?

A. You’re not necessarily barking up the wrong tree to make an offer on a house like this, but it does show the age of the home. When people say, “They don’t build houses like they used to,” I usually think, thank goodness. What you’re seeing was common through the 1920s, when locust trees, known for their resistance onte eeper to decay and insects, were used as support columns. These trees have been used for structural support for many centuries. Their most well known use was for supporting the city of Venice when the swamp-dwelling inhabitants, who lived on small islands, stabilized and built the city. Using locust posts, they could conduct their marine merchant trade while protecting themselves from the regularly invading Goths, preparing for attacks by seeing them from the north from 20 miles away, long before an attack could take place. The Venetians rammed locust posts deep into the seabed and supported those beautiful Renaissance structures on them. In the James Bond film “Casino Royale,” there is an intense fight scene that takes place in a building under extensive renovation. At the end of the scene, the building, which actually was having the locust posts retrofitted, like most of Venice, collapses into the watery depths. From an architect’s perspective, knowing about the structural changes underway, this was very interesting as well as dramatic. If the locust posts aren’t split and cracked but are smooth and semi-straight, they should be fine to continue to do their job. If you see signs of weakness or are suspicious, contact a licensed architect or engineer who has experience with these conditions for a closer look. If you decide that the columns need changing, then the job requires building temporary walls in the basement on either side of the main beam to support the whole structure of the home before the columns are removed. Correctly calculated concrete foundations, called footings, will need to be installed by digging up the concrete floor where forms are set and the footings are placed. Whether steel or wood columns are installed, the anchors for them need to be properly placed and attached. The columns, when installed, should be connected, at the top and the bottom, to the footing and to the beam. This isn’t a small job, and requires an experienced company that protects the area from dust before cutting the concrete, orders the right strength of cement for placement in the formwork and knows what connectors to install top and bottom. Good luck!

OPINIONS

y heart bleeds for the people of Ukraine, an emerging democracy pulled between West and East, a former Soviet republic that only gained its independence from the USSR in August 1991, amid the sudden and precipitous collapse of communism across Eastern Europe. Now Ukraine’s freedom is once again in jeopardy because of a war that it didn’t start. I was living in Eastern Europe in August 1991, serving in the Peace Corps in Bulgaria, a six-hour drive south of Ukraine SCOTT along Romania’s Black Sea coast. I BRINTON fell in love and married in Bulgaria on Nov. 9, 1991, the second anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I was born and raised on Long Island, and live here now, but Eastern Europe became an adopted homeland. Many Long Islanders have ties to Eastern Europe, including close to 13,000 people of Ukrainian descent, according to census data. We can see those ties in the Eastern Orthodox churches that dot the Island — St. Michael’s Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Uniondale, Holy Trinity Orthodox Church in East Meadow and St. Seraphim of Sarov Russian Orthodox Church in Sea Cliff, among others.

Eastern Europe is a conglomeration of ancient cultures, at once set in their ways but ever morphing in response to the push and pull of powerful nations — historically, Russia and Germany. Eastern Europeans are survivors. Ukraine will survive Russia’s invasion, an act of war in violation of international law. The price that Ukrainians will pay for the takeover, ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin, will be terrible, though. The impact will be felt by people across Eastern Europe. Most Americans can’t understand the fear of the old Soviet Union that many, if not most, Eastern Europeans carried with them during the Iron Curtain era (1945–91). They risked life and limb to secure their freedoms from the USSR in the late 1980s and early ’90s. They stood in solidarity, marching en masse in their capitals’ squares, demanding sovereignty. There was an electric unity among people across Eastern Europe in those heady days. They were afraid, but they stood in defiance of a nation that had for more than four decades tried to crush their independent spirit, their freedom of thought and religion, their very way of life. If Bulgaria had lost its newly won democratic freedoms to the communists, as was entirely possible in the early 1990s, oldschool apparatchiks might have “cleansed” Bulgaria of any American “sympathiz-

ers.” In that case, anyone who had had contact with an American like me could have been in grave danger of just disappearing. This was not a wild conspiracy theory. It was a valid fear based on years of iron-fisted Soviet rule. Now, a little more than 30 years after the fall of communism, Putin, a former KGB foreign intelligence officer, threatens once again to upend stability in Eastern Europe, a region that has, through the ages, been shattered by war, including two World Wars. And, once again, Eastern Europeans fear for their future. In the U.S., war in Ukraine is far away. The images of a Stalinesque housing complex ripped apart by Russian artillery fire, repeated many times on American and European TV news networks in the first days of the war, are perceived very differently across Eastern Europe than they are here. The expansive structure, fortified by plain cement walls, could have been most anywhere in Eastern Europe. Such an attack sends a terrifying signal to people across the region — you could be next — even if the thought is a distant one. It is highly unlikely that Putin would roll tanks beyond Ukraine’s borders into NATO-allied nations, military analysts tell us. But before the war, most of them appeared uncertain that he would invade

he census counts close to 13,000 area residents who are of Ukrainian descent.

Ukraine, despite President Biden’s warnings to the contrary. In recent weeks the U.S. has sent some 14,000 troops to Germany and Eastern Europe to shore up the defenses of NATO allies such as Poland and the Baltic states, bringing the total number of American troops in Europe to nearly 100,000, according to The New York Times. Thus, once again, we see a dividing line drawn between superpowers in Eastern Europe. My wife and I were listening to Bulgarian National Radio Friday night, wanting to hear how Bulgaria, a NATO ally that condemned the invasion, was reacting. The news centered on two communities — hundreds of Bulgarian expatriates living in Ukraine (who needed to be evacuated) and hundreds of Ukrainian expats living in Bulgaria (many of whom planned to drive through Romania to meet refugees fleeing Ukraine and bring them to safety). Their route would become a “humanitarian corridor.” With U.S. troops moving within firing range of invading Russian forces, and tens of thousands of war refugees fleeing across Eastern Europe, we, as Americans, must pay close attention to this conflict and do all we can to shore up Ukraine, a fledgling democracy. Scott Brinton is a special assistant professor of journalism at Hofstra University, and editor and adviser to The Long Island Advocate, a student online publication. He is a former executive editor of the Heralds.

Ukrainian Jews flee a Russian attack, again

either Russia nor the Ukraine has ever been a welcoming homeland for the Jewish people. Despite the singing and dancing in “Fiddler on the Roof,” the play was set in 1905 czarist Russia in the Pale of Settlement, the lands of Eastern Europe, including what became Ukraine, where hundreds of thousands of Jews lived under the boot of the Russian Cossacks. It is estimated that more than 1.5 million Jews lived in what is now Ukraine on the eve of World War II, according to a story in The Forward last RANDI week. “Some one KREISS million of those Jews were killed in the Holocaust,” the newspaper reported, “but a 1989 census estimated that close to half a million still lived in Ukraine in 1989, before the dissolution of the Soviet Union.” The story went on to say that under Soviet rule, Jews were persecuted and denied the right to emigrate, forced to hide much of their religious practice in a society “rife with anti-Semitism.” Last week, once again, with Russian tanks crossing the border, the dwindling

Jewish population was on the run. In a bizarre and nonsensical statement, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the invasion of Ukraine would remove Nazi influences, ignoring the fact that the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, is Jewish. The story of the Jewish community in Ukraine today is a minor footnote to the greater story of a nation beaten into submission by a dictator on the march. The footnote, however, resonates with me, because many of my relatives fled Ukraine and came to America in the years before World War I. My grandfather Morris Brownstein, born in 1897, left Ukraine in 1912 on the SS Zeeland. We don’t know how he managed to travel from Russia to Antwerp, but he boarded a ship in Belgium for the long crossing. He was 15 years old, and he was alone. What we do know is that he made his way to Brownsville, Brooklyn, became a tailor’s apprentice and found and married Anna, a second cousin. In 1924 he applied for naturalization, was granted citizenship and was as proud of being a “yankee” as anyone who ever escaped oppression and found freedom on our shores.

For his first decade in America, Morris lived in a tenement in Brownsville, probably without running water, possibly with dozens of other new arrivals. According to Wikipedia, Brownsville was predominantly Jewish from the 1880s until the 1950s. An estimated 25,000 people lived there by 1900. In the early 20th century, the majority of Brownsville’s residents were immigrants. By 1920, when Morris was living there, more than 80,000 of the area’s 100,000 inhabitants were Russian Jews, and Brownsville was known as “Little Jerusalem.” For decades, the Ukraine he left behind was a sovereign nation, pulled between the magnetic poles of the West and Russia. Historically, it has always been an uneasy homeland for Jewish people, from ancient persecutions to the pogroms of the 20th century. It seems unlikely that the nation has any chance of surviving the Russian invasion. I believe that if a 15-year-old boy can travel across Europe, book passage on a ship and make a new beginning in a new world, then those of us who have reaped America’s bounty must stand with the Ukrainians in their resistance to occupation in any way we can.

n 1912, Morris Brownstein, my grandfather, left Ukraine on the SS Zeeland.

We do not know yet what will be asked of us. When Grandpa Morris signed his naturalization papers, he pledged his heart and soul to the United States of America. He was a good citizen, a patriotic American, grateful to this country for blessings he never could have imagined as a child in war-torn Ukraine. The Forward added another footnote to last week’s invasion. According to Rabbi Shlomo Baksht, his staff was still looking into moving the 250 children from the three orphanages they run in Ukraine westward, away from the Russian border. His last message was that the effort was too late, and they were “hunkered down.” Of all the what-ifs we ponder in our lives, one of the most intriguing is what our lives would look like if our parents and grandparents and great-grands hadn’t left their homes and all that they knew of the world to risk dangerous ocean passages to begin new lives, learn new work and absorb new customs in a new land. The people of Ukraine will suffer mightily in the coming days and weeks, as Russia tramples their dreams of freedom. I think of the 15-year-old from Ukraine who made that harrowing trip 110 years ago, and I am so grateful. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Celebrate Women’s History Month

hese days, we smile or roll our eyes when we hear the term “fashion police,” but leading up to the Nixon administration, wearing the wrong outfit could land an otherwise innocent young woman in hot water. Dresses were required in Nassau County schools until 1970, when administrators finally allowed girls to wear pantsuits. It was a seemingly small change by today’s standards, but every single one mattered in the movement we celebrate every March as Women’s History Month. It was President Jimmy Carter who, in 1980, issued a presidential proclamation creating what was then National Women’s History Week. “Too often, women were unsung, and sometimes their contributions went unnoticed,” Carter said. “But the achievements, leadership, courage, strength and love of the women who built America was as vital as that of the men whose names we know so well.” By then, women were claiming their place. They were already earning more bachelor’s degrees than men, according to the National Center for Education Statistics, and roughly half of the master’s degrees. Four decades later, in the red-hot fields of science and engineering, women still trail men in bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, according to the National Science Foundation. And women still earn just 84 cents of every dollar a man makes, according to a 2020 Pew Research study.

LETTERS RVC development raises questions To the Editor: Given that salespersons are prone to “puffery,” we should be wary of claims that the conversion of the former Rockville Centre Diocese headquarters into an office building will deliver “the addition of 223 full-time employees,” as reported in “RVC Diocese headquarters to be transformed into $19M office space” (Feb. 10-16). Especially since the buyer, Philips International, “does not yet have potential tenants,” according to the article. The Philips deal demands $2.1 million from property taxes and $500,000 from others for a 20-year deal for their “offices.” Given the rapidly rising value of Long Island real estate and associated taxation, this seems very generous. The PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) offset is minimal, short- term and would apply to alternative proposals. Adding the Diocese building to our tax roll is a benefit, but it should not be on discount. Given the recent decline in the popularity of in-office work in the wake of the pandemic, the plan may not be optimal for Rockville Cen-

But they have made steady, if sometimes agonizingly slow, progress. In the century since women finally earned the right to vote, they have become professionals, more financially independent, and more visible as business leaders. And women have worked their way into the leadership positions they have long deserved. Sandra Day O’Connor became the first woman nominated to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1981. Three years later, Geraldine Ferraro became the first female vice presidential candidate on a major party ticket. Jeannette Rankin of Minnesota might have been the first woman elected to Congress in 1916, but Shirley Chisholm broke yet another notable glass ceiling in 1969, becoming the first Black woman sent to Washington. And then, of course, Kamala Harris finally put a woman one step away from the Oval Office, a feat that can be topped only by whoever eventually becomes our first female president. It seemed only logical for Congress to expand the week first set aside by Carter into something more substantial, although Capitol Hill needed a little push. Thanks to the efforts of the National Women’s History Project — a nonprofit promoting “multicultural women’s history awareness” — Congress decreed the first Women’s History Month in 1987, issuing similar proclamations each year until 1995, when Bill Clinton started the tradition of simply

having presidents issue the proclamations on their own. The last girls who were compelled to wear dresses to school would be grandparents now. Some — especially of the younger generations, who never knew differently — might even take for granted a lot of what women have achieved. But as far as they have come, there’s still a long way to go. And to finally achieve full equality, women will depend on one another to pave the way, just as the female trailblazers of the past have done — Eleanor Roosevelt, Amelia Earhart, Susan Ahn Cuddy, Billie Holiday, Rosalind Franklin, Susan B. Anthony, Gloria Richardson. Don’t recognize a name? Then Women’s History Month is the perfect time to look it up and learn more about her. Three cheers for the women who are the leaders of our nation. Our inventors. Our entrepreneurs. Those who tend to our health, and fight our battles in court. And those whose names aren’t widely known — especially those who gave birth to us, raised us, and taught us right from wrong, shaping us into the people we are today. These women, in particular, may sometimes be taken for granted, but their contributions must never be forgotten. They make their own history, every day, in the families that ensure our society remains healthy and strong.

OPINIONS

n addition to the world’s oldest (continuous since 1762) and largest St. Patrick’s Day parade up 5th Avenue in Manhattan on March 17, dozens of Long Island communities are looking forward to their local parades, including Mineola and Bethpage on March 6, Huntington on March 13, Rockville Centre on March 19, Glen Cove and Wantagh on March 20, and Bayside on March 26. New York state has more than 50 parades — not including other kinds of St. Patrick’s celebrations — in March. These JOHN will all be well by marchO’CONNELL attended ers and spectators, since most parades are returning after two years of Covid-caused hiatus. There are thousands of St. Patrick’s parades throughout the country, many thousands around the world, from Dublin to Tokyo. Principally a chance for Irish-Americans to show their ethnic pride, our local family-oriented events are welcome signs of spring, reasons to rejoice in the pandemically safer outdoors and great opportunities for downtown businesses, with so many people lining the streets. I’ve been watching or marching in such

wonderful events in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, for most of my long life. Sciatica and other maladies, however, have recently removed me from the line of march and sent me to the sidelines to cheer on my friends and fellow members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians. While parades are fun, they say little about the important role Irish-Americans have played in the past and present of our country. I wish people knew more about the magnificent contributions Irish immigrants and Irish-Americans have made to the formation and preservation of the United States, and its ongoing exceptionalism. Science, government, education, the labor movement, the military, civil rights, justice, policing, the arts, music and literature, industry, business, journalism and many other fields would be profoundly the less but for what Irish-Americans have done and continue to do. March is Irish-American Heritage Month, a good time for all of us to learn about or remember some of the people who have made America great. Six of the last seven presidents — and half of all American chief executives — were of Irish ancestry, including Biden, Reagan, Kennedy, Wilson, Teddy Roosevelt and Grant.

More than 25 percent of George Washington’s Revolutionary Army comprised Irish-Americans. Of the country that provided him with such brave soldiers, Washington said, “Ireland, thou friend of my country in my country’s most friendless days, much injured, much enduring land, accept this poor tribute from one who esteems thy worth, and mourns thy desolation.” A hero of that war, Commodore John Barry, of Ireland, was the holder of the first commission in the new United States Navy. Two hundred fifty-seven recipients of the Medal of Honor were born in Ireland. Dan Daley was awarded two Medals of Honor for separate actions, and would have been given a third but for the fact that he already had two. Walt Disney, actor and dancer Gene Kelly, dancer Michael Flatley, playwright Eugene O’Neill and authors F. Scott Fitzgerald and Malachy McCourt were/ are Irish-Americans. Bruce Springsteen is of partial Irish ancestry. John Ford has the most Academy Awards for best director, at four. Auto manufacturer Henry Ford had Ireland’s blood in his veins. The first woman to command a NASA space mission was Astronaut Col. Eileen Collins, an Irish-American. The first American woman to walk in space was

t's a list that goes on an on, in every field of endeavor from politics to the arts.

LETTERS tre. I hope our leaders, including Town of Hempstead Industrial Development Agency Executive Fred Parola, RVC Mayor Francis Murray and County Executive Bruce Blakeman will find have gumption to challenge the Philips offer and seek other bids. In all such deals, the public should know if disbursement of PILOT funds will be per sections 6904/05, and thus counted toward property taxes. BRIAN KELLY Rockville Centre

Senator Brooks is doing great work To the Editor: Kudos to State Senator John Brooks and his staff for their work on trying to rein in the high cost of living on Long Island. Brooks has been a leader in the fight for affordable municipal water. His support for a legislative commission on the future of the Long Island Power Authority will open the door to reduced electric rates as well. If legislation creating the commission is passed, it will set out a roadmap for the “municipalization” of the electrical system. With full municipal ownership, electricity would be managed on a nonprofit

the Irish-American Dr. Kathryn Sullivan. Edward J. Flanagan was born in a wee stone cottage in County Roscommon, Ireland. He would become the Father Flanagan of Boys Town, in Omaha, Neb., and a beloved activist on behalf of children. Mary Harris, a.k.a. Mother Jones, was an advocate for child labor laws. Tough Kerryman Michael J. Quill was one of the founders of the Transport Workers Union. The list of Irish America’s contributors to the greatness of our nation goes on and on. The symbols of Irish America aren’t the stereotypical leprechauns, green beer, silly plastic hats and fake freckles; Irish America’s significance is better found in Washington’s words, the names of Irish Brigade troops on Gettysburg’s gravestones, Boys Town, NASA, the American labor movement and the Medal of Honor rolls. All Americans should celebrate IrishAmerican Heritage Month. Educators should teach about the heroic influence Irish-Americans have had. Librarians should create displays. Parents should show their children how deserving IrishAmericans are of honor. Many of the notable American heroes mentioned above have surely earned their own classroom lessons, from grade school to college. I wish all Herald readers and staff a happy St. Patrick’s Day!

basis, much like public water and public libraries. This is no far-fetched idea. Freeport and Rockville Centre have municipally operated power systems with rates 40 percent less than PSEG. If we take the profits out, electric rates will fall. Thank you, Senator Brooks. FRED HARRISON L.I. Food & Water Watch Merrick

Does Hochul have the right priorities? To the Editor: Replacement Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed legislation allowing farmers to grow marijuana in New York. That appears to be her priority over halting crime and rampant subway attacks. By permitting this bill, as well as an online betting bill, we are encouraging a generation of misfits. Is this how we develop the future leaders of our country? Perhaps our leaders in Albany, who passed the “no bail bill,” have been smoking this stuff just to test its efficacy. PAT KING Merrick
