MEMBERS OF DEFENDER Hose Company No. 1 hosted a recruitment day at their firehouse on South Centre Avenue on Sunday.

Fire Department seeks recruits Defender company hosts day of training drills By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

As it seeks volunteers, the Rockville Centre Fire Department’s Defender Hose Company No. 1 welcomed residents into its firehouse on South Centre Avenue last Sunday to encourage recruitment and conduct drills for the visitors. As part of the statewide RecruitNY Weekend, Capt. Mark Bedson and his fellow volunteers showed newcomers what they could expect if

they joined the company. The recruitment initiative started by the Firefighters Association of the State of New York is meant to help departments add younger members to learn from experienced firefighters by providing banners, social media graphics, brochures and more to local firehouses. Defender added a personal touch by having volunteers and Junior Fire Department members go door to door on the south side of the village to

talk to residents about joining. The department offers volunteers tuition at Nassau Community College in addition to their firefighting training. Recently promoted 1st Lt. Andrew Krahm led drills with the Junior Fire Department throughout the afternoon, in the hope of inspiring some of the young attendees to join in the future. Krahm, 26, showed junior members how to attach CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Three to vie for two open library board seats msmollins@liherald.com

One incumbent and two newcomers will vie for two open library board of trustee seats during the Rockville Centre School District vote on May 17. Library board President Michael Ludwig will seek re-election to the board, while Meryl Sussman and Michael Lucchesi are also seeking the vote. Secretary Susanne Morahan is not seeking re-election. The library’s proposed 2022-23 budget comes with an estimated annual tax increase of $13 for the average Rockville Centre homeowner. The library’s tax levy is $3.8 million, up by $100,000 from 2021-22, but the tax increase is under the state cap of 2.66 percent. The next hearing on the spending plan is set for May 10. Voting will take place at South Side High School on May 17. Ahead of the election, the Herald asked all three candidates to share their goals for the library, if elected.

Herald: Why are you running for a seat on the library board? Ludwig: I am now serving, having been

elected in 2019. I have always loved libraries and want to serve my community to ensure the facility stays the vibrant hub that it is. I have become much more familiar with all the services and programs offered by the library. It has been my privilege to serve the community to help ensure that the library continues and expands on its excellent history.

Lucchesi: I have a lot of hometown pride

for Rockville Centre. The year after I graduated college, I began volunteer coaching for the RVC Lacrosse Club. This led to becoming a board member for the club for six years. I was also a volunteer assistant coach for the South Side High School varsity boys’ lacrosse team for seven years. Now that my wife Lisa and I have two school age sons, I would like to continue my community service and volunteer work for something else that I am passionate about.

Sussman: After public schools, libraries have been the most important community institutions in my life. My family could not afford many vacations or summer camps for me, so the library was where I spent long days learning about the world, past, present and future. Throughout my academic and professional careers, libraries supported my research and writing, as well as providing places to study and read for enjoyment. As careers took us away from New York, it was the quality of the library that helped me choose where to live in the new towns we checked out in several states. I want to give back to the institution that has made such an impact on my life and retirement has given me the time to do it. Libraries are unique institutions in communities. They give citizens access to a wide spectrum of ideas, information, and opportunities for learning,

exploration and enjoyment. They are community centers providing services in new modalities to reach each person in the way that individual needs. The integration of services across library systems offers access to the holdings and riches of member libraries across the county and country. It is also important to have a welcoming physical plant that provides ways for groups and individuals to come together for common interests, activities, and events. I believe that service on the board will give me a chance to help the library meet its multiple missions to the community.

Herald: What are your goals for the future of the library, if elected? Ludwig: My main goals are to provide

oversight regarding the budget process and to continue the library’s mission by providing Rockville Centre residents with access to information and materials, which will aid them in their pursuit of education, information, recreation and the creative use of leisure time. I trust the library director and professional staff to continue to offer all they are providing while continuing to innovate. For example, while the Covid-19 pandemic forced the closure of the library for many weeks, the director and staff were able to pivot to continue to provide the services and programs the community has come to expect. Many programs switched to virtual platforms, and while we are mostly back to “normal,” virtual and hybrid programs will continue as we learned they provided a lifeline for homebound and elderly patrons.

Lucchesi: I think the library board and staff do an incredible job. In my opinion, the library is one of the best on Long Island. I would like to learn, work hard and be a team player to continue and build on the library’s successes.

Sussman: My goals are to ensure it

meets the needs of the community while using its assets in fiscally sound ways. I support current efforts to track patterns of usage and interest, integrate with regional and county systems as appropriate to maximize benefits while holding down costs and continuing to explore trends in new programming for all sectors of the community. My goal is to support the expansion of these efforts so that the library maintains its critical role to aid Rockville Centre residents in pursuing their education, research and leisure and creative pursuits in a wel-

Meryl Sussman

coming and community-enhancing atmosphere.

Herald: The library recently began using a mobile printing app, are there any other innovations you’d like to see implemented in the future? Ludwig: The library, thanks to the

Friends of the Library, continues to provide free passes to many local and regional artistic and cultural institutions. It also welcomes new ideas and a wide array of programming appropriate for all the library’s constituents. A few examples include yoga, roll around classes for children, defensive driving classes, best sellers club, and a short story and poetry discussion group. The library has recently instituted a program that offers patrons the ability to take out mobile hot spots so they can stay connected while traveling. An important innovation that began during the pandemic was the expansion of free Wi-Fi available in the parking lot, even while the library is closed.

Lucchesi: My wife and I are working par-

ents, as many of us here are in the village. I would love to continue to develop the after-school children’s programs as well as special education programs at the library.

Sussman: I have lived in different states

and in each town, libraries were innovating to meet the needs of their community. One library opened a low-cost coffee shop that became a popular afterschool “hang out” for teens and a morning meeting place for adults to conduct business or to relax and read. In another town, the library purchased hightech items, such as robotic gadgets and a 3-D printer, to meet the needs of its community. Recently, libraries had to innovate due to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic. As people were physically limited, yet needed the library’s services perhaps more than ever, local libraries initiated new ways to reach their constituents using technology and practical approaches. What we all learned about how to reach people in new ways will inform the future of library services and continue to provide access for people who cannot use the library in the traditional ways. I believe new directions can be revealed by studying the community. I would rather ask: how do we know what the community needs? And how can we meet those needs in ways that are not

Herald: Why do you think voters should elect you to this position? Ludwig: I have served for the past three years and learned much about the workings and programs offered by the library. I am continually impressed with the creativity and hard work of the entire staff. The pandemic was and continues to be a challenging time for our community. However, because of the library’s adaptations, I believe it is not only stronger, but that the services have improved by being able to offer virtual and hybrid programming. Being a library trustee is important to me, as I believe that the library is one of the few remaining truly public spaces available in many communities across the United States. A strong and vibrant public library is one of the pillars of a strong and vibrant community. I want to continue to see the library fulfill its mission and therefore continue to strengthen our community. Lucchesi: I am a relentless worker and will put the time and effort needed into making the library better for every resident. Thank you to the community for its consideration of voting for me as a library trustee. Sussman: I can bring many professional

skills to my role on the board. I had a successful career in academic administration, mostly in public community colleges. In the largest community college in Illinois with 25,000 students, I managed a divisional budget of $17 million with more than 70 full-time faculty members and professional staff and 22 labs. Much like public libraries, community colleges are more than single mission institutions. We offered recreational, cultural, business development, and leisure activities, as well as educational services. I worked on accreditation reports and negotiated contracts. I understand institutional budgeting, staffing and project development, as well as strategies to survey and identify population changes and to set institutional goals to meet new challenges. Finally, but perhaps most importantly, I have a deep passion for libraries and a commitment to their role in our democracy. They must be open to all members of the community, to enhance the vitality of individuals and our village with a wide range of activities and access to the finest works of the finest minds in the world. I am committed to the enhancing the role of the library in the lives of its residents. This is the best way I can give back to the institution I love and the community I value.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — April 28, 2022

cost-prohibitive or inconsistent with the mission of the library? For example, as our residents age, how can we provide access to library resources as health and abilities change? Can we expand the use of technology to enhance visibility, provide audio or translation services, or new strategies to reach homebound members of the community, like the Library to Your Door program is doing?

Lucy Gillett has played goalkeeper for South Side High School and professionally with Brighton & Hove Albion and Crystal Palace in England. Now, after a season as an assistant coach with the LIU women’s soccer team, she is ascending to the helm as head coach of the Sharks. Gillett has led LIU through its spring workouts. She now has shed the “interim” from her title as the Sharks completed spring play on April 22 with a match at Stony Brook. LIU will return for official practices for the fall season durLucy ing the first week of August. “I’ve been able to experience a lot playing overseas in England,” said Gillett, who played in England from 2015 through 2020, according to a news release. “I’ve seen a lot of coaching styles, worked with a lot of very talented people. I’m excited to put that into play here and see what my experience from my playing career can do on the sideline now.” Gillett already has experience as a collegiate coach. She served as an assistant coach at St. John’s for one season

before joining the Sharks for the 202122 academic year. “It’s nice to be home, nice to be back,” Gillett said. “Five years away was nice, but Long Island is home. I’m back with the family, back on Long Island, reconnecting with a lot of people that I grew up with, and calling it home again.” Gillett played a combined four collegiate seasons at Hofstra University and Springfield College. She went a 21-8 over that span with 12 shutouts and a 0.79 goals against average during Gillett the final two seasons with Springfield, in 2013 and ’14, while qualifying for the NCAA tournament both seasons. She earned a bachelor’s degree in phys. ed. from Springfield College, and earned her coaching badges at Brighton’s academy during her playing days abroad. “My experiences in England have just been amazing and set my standards high,” Gillett said. “Now I’m able to bring in what I really liked from overseas — bring that back over here and use that information.”

The pandemic may also have spurred the group’s recent growth, with many people sitting at home in front of their computers, wistfully recalling a simpler time.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT The Project includes: (i) 320-kilovolt (kV) highvoltage direct current (HVDC) submarine export cables within an approximately 115 nautical mile-long submarine export cable corridor, extending from the boundary of New York State waters (3 nautical miles from shore) to the cable landfall at Lawrence Point in Astoria, Queens; (ii) one 320-kV HVDC onshore export cable circuit (two cables) installed underground from the landfall to the onshore substation facility within the Astoria power complex; (iii) an onshore substation located at Astoria, Queens that will convert HVDC to HVAC power and transformers to step it down from 320-kV to 138-kV for the onshore interconnection cables, and (iv) three 138-kV cable circuits, each with nine single-

core HVAC onshore interconnection cables, that will be buried underground from the onshore substation to the point of interconnection (POI) at the Astoria West 345-kV Substation owned by the Consolidated Edison Company of New York, Inc. The Beacon Wind 1 offshore wind farm is proposed to be located in the Lease Area approximately 20 miles south of Nantucket, Massachusetts and outside of New York’s jurisdictional waters. As such, it will be permitted in a separate federal proceeding. A copy of the Application will be filed with the Commission and served upon the Mayor of the City of New York and the Queen Borough President and other statutory parties, and copies will be made available at the following local public libraries for public inspection. A copy of the Application will also be available on the Department of Public Service website (www.dps.ny.gov) once the Commission assigns a case number to the Project.

WE NOW DO ALL KINDS OF MASONRY WORK!

A. There are many items to include in your thought process for finishing your basement. Mistakes are made, first, by ever assuming that the people doing the work know the laws. The biggest problem I see is that the ceiling is just a little too low, that someone dropped the entire ceiling level just because of one pipe. The onte eeper minimum ceiling height in the current code is 6 feet 8 inches clearance, with 6 feet 4 inches under the center beams, air ducts or soffits anywhere in the basement. Always leave access for shutoff valves, wiring connections, cleanouts and other controls. If you need to move pipes that were installed without any care for your future use of the basement, move them. Piping should go around the perimeter of the basement, no matter what excuse you hear. Because of poor planning and even worse execution, pipes are the No. 1 problem, because someone thoughtlessly put them in a place that was good for them and not for you. The ceiling finish can be sheetrock in the larger areas with perimeter “hung” track ceilings outfitted with removable ceiling tiles. Again, even those lowered perimeter and under-beam soffits need to be no less than 6 feet 4 inches above the floor. Tall firefighters need to avoid hitting their heads when they’re running though your smoke-filled basement to rescue you or your loved ones. Although you know you need an escape well window or exterior door entry, placement of the well in some side or front yards can cause a code violation if it’s closer than allowed to a property line. Verify your setback requirements for your zone, and even confirm that with an official at your local building department. Many jurisdictions require a permit with plans and inspections, so don’t forget these important requirements. There are so many people who are frustrated that their contractor didn’t tell them that they needed a permit, and even worse, that they now have a violation that requires reconstruction to pass inspections. Don’t be one of those people. Other important issues include what to do with enclosing your heating equipment, putting laundry sinks and washing machines too close to the main electrical service panel, using the wrong kind of wall studs for perimeter walls, not insulating correctly and forgetting to put handrails on the access stairs, inside and out. Heating equipment, to the code, must follow the manufacturer’s specifications. Installers rarely leave a manual. Sometimes the internet helps. There must be 5/8-inch type X gypsum board on the ceiling extending at least 1 foot in each direction around the boiler. Best of luck!

Q. Our basement is unfinished, and we plan to put in walls and a finished ceiling. We know we need an escape window, but what are your suggestions on other things, like the kind of ceiling? I’m thinking about just sheetrock, but what kind of access do you recommend for the pipes and wires I’ll need to get to?

OPINIONS

eople have called him many things — kind, loving, helpful, funny. I’ve heard him described as meticulous. But to me and my siblings, he’s simply Dad. This year my father turns 89. He still drives. He still goes to church, where he displays his musical talents on the organ, which he taught himself to play. He lives just blocks from my stepmother, who is in an assisted-living facility with severe dementia. He spends as much time there as he can. MICHAEL My dad loves his wife, his family, HINMAN his spiritual home, and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don’t think anyone was more excited about Tom Brady making the move from Boston. But when I think about my dad, more often than not, my smile turns to tears. Not about anything he did — he was and still is a great man — but because of what someone did to him. My dad was meticulous as he divided a large stack of cash into separate envelopes. His hands shook with fear as he packed each envelope carefully into a box to send off to who knows where. This was

$20,000 — money my father, a retired railroad welder, didn’t even have. It came from a loan, one he continues to make payments on today. The worst part was that my dad knew he was being scammed. He knew that if he told me or any of my siblings, we would stop him. We would help him. But the scammers on the other end of that phone scared him so much that fear overcame reason and logic. I’ve recently discovered a YouTube channel called Scammer Payback. It’s led by a cybersecurity expert known only as “Pierogi,” who targets the scammers who have their sights on our parents, our grandparents, our sisters and brothers — really anyone we love. Pierogi ties the scammers up on the phone for hours. He hacks into their computers and steals their files, turning all of what he unearths over to the authorities. He has identified the leading scam operations overseas, and pushed for police to arrest them. And he’s personally called people targeted by scammers — many of whom have been victimized for years — to help them break free. Scams are nothing new, but the scope of such fraud and theft today is unprecedented. The Federal Trade Commission’s

Consumer Sentinel Network reported 4.8 million complaints of consumer fraud and identity theft in 2020 — up 45 percent from the year before. Nearly half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020, according to the Aite-Novarica Group. Nearly half. That cost all of us more than $700 billion at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. In recent weeks, AARP Long Island and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service have hosted a series of webinars with the RichnerLive arm of Herald Community Newspapers to explore all kinds of fraud —identity theft, elder fraud and, this week, romance scams. I’ve been honored to moderate these panels, which have included expert advice from AARP New York’s Long Island associate state director, Bernard Macias, as well as USPIS experts like Donna Harris, Michael Del Giudice and Joseph Marcus. We’ve learned so much. If someone calls you and asks you to send money — for any reason — be skeptical. If they want to get on your computer, say no. If they ask you to use gift cards, or tell you that you must provide them with sensitive personal information, hang up. Most important, be careful what you share. Facebook is a great way to connect

early half of all Americans experienced financial identity theft in 2020.

to those we love, but it’s also a great way for scammers to collect a ton of personal information about you — information they can weaponize in an effort to empty your bank account. Be careful about how you dispose of papers containing sensitive details about you. Scammers will dig through your garbage, and they will find exactly what they need to take what rightfully belongs to you. Join us for our final installment in the Fighting Against Fraud series on Thursday, April 28, at noon. You don’t even have to leave your living room — we’ll come right to your computer. Just register at LIHerald.com/romance. And then protect yourself by shredding sensitive documents. If you don’t have a shredder, we’ll do it for you. Bring those documents to our offices, at 2 Endo Blvd. in Garden City, this Saturday, April 30, between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., and we’ll shred them. Just register in advance, at LIHerald.com/shred. My dad will never see that $20,000 again. So many more like him have lost money that is now counted in the billions. But it doesn’t have to continue. We can fight scammers by being vigilant, and by educating ourselves, so we — and those we love — are never victimized again. Michael Hinman is the executive editor of the Herald Community Newspapers. He can be reached at mhinman@liherald.com.

Where have you gone, Walter Cronkite?

ast night, having been off my devices all day and peacefully oblivious to the news, I turned on the TV as I slipped into bed just to catch up. Now, you know and I know that I shouldn’t have done that, but I was feeling out of touch, so I flipped from MSNBC to CNN and Fox to see what was up with the world. The news was so horrific that it almost seemed like satire. In TV anchor rapidspeak, reporters from around the country and the world told me that: mass graves had RANDI been found in and KREISS around Mariupol, Ukraine, as Russian forces closed in on the besieged city; wildfires were burning out of control in parts of New Mexico; Israeli and Gaza militants were at war; Florida Gov. Rick DeSantis was punishing Disney for supporting gay rights by removing its tax breaks; new audio had revealed that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy talked trash about thenPresident Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 insurrection; Florida was banning math books for alleged inappropriate “prohibit-

ed” topics, like race; and — oh, no — Netflix was cracking down on shared accounts. Sleep was out of the question. In between news segments, just to keep the anxiety level in the stratosphere, commercials from an animal rights group showed bone-thin dogs chained outside in the freezing cold. The voice-over begged for contributions to save these wretched pups. I love dogs more than people, but this commercial feels like an assault, and it doesn’t make me feel like giving more money; it makes me feel like changing the channel. That was my news experience last evening, which brings me to my question of the day: Walter Cronkite, where are you when we need you? I am certain that 24-hour news screaming at us from every device we own is detrimental to our health. The American Psychological Association states that “news consumption has a downside … More than half of Americans say the news causes them stress … anxiety, fatigue or sleep loss.” We were much better off when TV news was broadcast once or twice daily for 15 or 30 minutes. When I was a kid, my parents

watched the news at 6 and 11 p.m. For millions of viewers, CBS anchor Walter Cronkite was the voice of reason, truth and journalistic integrity every night during those brief news shows. There were no alternative facts, and “fake news” wasn’t even a blip in the nascent Trump brain. For those of you too young to remember, in 1962 Cronkite became anchorman of CBS’s newscasts. Think about it: 15 to 30 minutes of news a day on CBS or the other major channel, NBC. That was it. Cronkite didn’t have coiffed hair or trendy clothes. He made his bones as a war correspondent in World War II, flying with the U.S. Army Air Force in bombing raids over Germany. After the war, he covered the Nuremberg Trials. In 1950 he was recruited by Edward R. Murrow, another broadcast icon, at CBS News. He interviewed President John F. Kennedy to launch the first 30-minute news broadcast in September 1963, and less than three months later, on Nov. 22, he announced the death of the president on live TV. I was 16 years old. I watched, stricken, as Cronkite removed his glasses and struggled to regain his composure.

e's been replaced by 24-hour news screaming at us from every device.

In the decades since, the news on TV and online has evolved into a circus of both information and misinformation reported by anchors who range from the sublime to the ridiculous to the truly grotesque. TV personalities tell us the news, as it is selected and edited by their researchers and producers. Because the news is now broadcast 24/7, there are thousands of hours of filler and fluff beaming out at us all day and all night long. What can we do? What agency do we have with this news tsunami coming at us every hour of the day? How to stay informed and still stay sane? We are left to our own devices in more ways than one, and we need to do the most difficult thing, which is to find balance. We honor the brave correspondents who bring news of the war in Ukraine, and we honor the TV and newspaper reporters whose mission every day is to shine a light in the darkness. We need the news, but we need to calibrate our consumption. My new rule is no news before bedtime. No “notifications” on my phone. Our devices beam out information and disinformation indiscriminately. Some of it informs, but much of it triggers anxiety. We must know, and we have to teach our children, how to tell the difference.

Hello, county Human Rights Commission?

ucy Pozo fought hard not to let the people sitting in front of her see her cry. The senior at East Rockaway High School stood before the district’s Board of Education after a Donald Trump flag surfaced during the school’s annual Sports Night event last month. For Pozo, it wasn’t just about what the former president stands for, but what the display of such a flag said about some of her classmates. Some of the same people she believes target her because of her Hispanic heritage. “East Rockaway schools have failed me,” she said. “That flag, the reason why nobody was talking about it that day, is because we’re scared.” Just weeks later, there was an outcry of a different sort in Rockville Centre. A woman there who was reportedly troubled by a large menorah in front of a Chabad center — a display she said was the beginning of an Orthodox Jewish push into the community reminiscent of what has happened to the Five Towns over the past couple of decades. If the Orthodox community does move into Rockville Centre, the woman said, they will force businesses to close for the Sabbath. They will take over school boards, and send money away from the district. And then they will sell those schools “to the highest bidder.” Many called the Rockville Centre woman’s comments antisemitic, and it’s nearly impossible not to agree. Pozo’s comments, however, were followed by a number of

LETTERS The Cuomos don’t need career advice To the Editor: Who is letter writer Larry Penner (“Career advice for the Cuomos,” March10-16) to tell two private citizens what to do with their time? Who is Larry Penner to tell a private citizen what to do with his money? The matter of Andrew Cuomo spending his campaign war chest on advertising is a matter between him, his donors and the campaign finance officials. The right to tell one’s side of the story is a basic American right. So long as he isn’t engaging in libel or slander, Cuomo has the right to freedom of speech — the same freedom of speech that allows Penner to write letters. During the media frenzy calling for Cuomo’s scalp, I saw precious

students earlier this month sharing much broader concerns about how minorities are treated at East Rockaway High. These aren’t issues unique to East Rockaway High or Rockville Centre, and they aren’t limited to these specific groups. Even as deep as we are into the 21st century, hate continues to find a foothold in our society. While much of it is focused on the color of someone’s skin, it also involves gender and gender identity, religion, where our money comes from, disability, and who we love. A recent Pew Research Center study revealed that a third of Asian Americans still fear they could be the victims of slurs, jokes and even violence over the perceived origins of the coronavirus pandemic. Locally, that has led to the founding of the Asian American Institute for Research and Engagement, designed to advocate for Asian Americans while using research and data to uncover the roots of the discrimination they face. “We are all Americans,” said Woodbury’s Farrah Mozawalla, the first-ever Muslim department head in Nassau County government, who founded the new organization. “We all believe in the same values, and it’s now time for us to combat this hatred and discrimination. We need that to stop.” The battle against hate is seemingly never-ending, but it’s a battle that must be fought. Yet it’s often unclear who is doing the battling. There are informal student and religious groups, as well as organizations like Mozawalla’s.

But Long Island has another weapon against such hatred that has been largely silent in recent months — the Nassau County Human Rights Commission. It’s made up of 15 commissioners representing those of various races and ethnicities as well as those with disabilities, according to its website. Its stated mission is to “promote harmony among the diverse populations” of the county, through “persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education.” Could there be a better time than now to promote that harmony? The work this commission does is important, but it can’t stand by while many of these issues fill the pages of your local newspaper, with the fear that things will get worse before they get better. The commission hasn’t been completely idle. Its website is full of information on what people should do if they feel they’re victims of coronavirus-related discrimination. That’s vital information, for sure. But while the pandemic has dominated our lives over the past two years, community members are bravely stepping forward to expose other issues we just can’t ignore. And if the Human Rights Commission isn’t addressing these issues, too few people will hear about them. Now is the time for it to step up. We need to promote harmony. We need to embrace the very differences that make us Americans. And we need that persuasion, conciliation, investigation and education to get that done.

OPINIONS

find U.S. Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, of New York; Ilhan Omar, of Minnesota; Ayanna Pressley, of Massachusetts; and Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, politically repugnant, because they advocate positions that I believe are destructive to our principles, our nation, our allies and our future. Typically, last year Ocasio-Cortez initially voted no on a bill that would have helped fund Israel’s anti-missile defense system, the “Iron Dome.” She later flipped her vote to “present” when she realized that RONALD J. her antisemitic was a little ROSENBERG venom too obvious. Despite her corrosive politics, however, I absolutely defend her right to engage in such actions for, in a democracy, she and her fellow socialists have a protected right to be heard. It is their constituents who have the power to decide whether these individuals deserve to represent their interests on Capitol Hill. In the meantime, our democracy allows us to argue, debate, question and examine their rhetoric, votes, and public policies. And yet we live in a world where freedom of speech has been suppressed by those who control the most dominant plat-

forms for public speech, social media. “Facebook jail” has become an oft-repeated phrase among those who have been banned by an algorithm programmed by those who aren’t identified, much less questioned. Some who are forced off theses platform say they are mystified as to why action was taken when they were posting photos of American flags. This isn’t exactly a new complaint, but it has become far more dangerous to democracy. As far back as 2016, it was noted that Facebook was labeling any number of conservative posts “hate speech.” The publication The Hill noted that year, “Canadian conservative activist Lauren Southern was slapped with a 30-day Facebook suspension over — ironically enough — a post complaining about Facebook censorship of conservatives. (The ban was later reversed and blamed on an error.)” This kind of subjective destruction of free speech is not unique to online commentary. In colleges and universities across the country, there’s an acknowledgment that conservative students are intimidated by their peers. Interestingly, in a 2020 essay in The Atlantic, a summary of a nationwide campus survey found a glimmer of good news and a shadow that casts a pall on free speech.

his lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in our daily interactions.

LETTERS little of that. There are those who feel that he was not afforded due process. Who is Larry Penner to say that Cuomo doesn’t have the right to tell his side of the story? If Cuomo can obtain enough signatures on nominating petitions, and they’re vetted by the Board of Elections, he has the right to appear on the ballot. In that case, the people will decide. There has been discussion among lawmakers about impeachment proceedings should Cuomo make it back to office. That issue would be decided by a majority of the Legislature. Not Larry Penner. I’m not saying Cuomo is guilty or innocent, was or was not a good governor, or would or would not be an effective lawmaker in whatever office he chooses to seek. Only that he has the right not to be judged by a jury of one letter writer. NAT WEINER Bronx

It’s time for us to step up in Ukraine To the Editor: I am now firmly of the opinion that we must not lose the war in Ukraine. The only two acceptable solutions are to force defeat on Russia or somehow create a

It stated, “While majorities favor more viewpoint diversity and free-speech norms, an intolerant faction of roughly a quarter of students believe it is okay to silence or suppress some widely held views that they deem wrong. “Students across political perspectives engage in classroom self-censorship. “Students harbor divisive stereotypes about classmates with different beliefs, and a substantial minority are not open to engaging socially with classmates who don’t share their views. “Disparaging comments about political conservatives are common.” An equally disturbing finding from this survey was the idea that conservative students feel intimidated by the potential threat of violence from their liberal counterparts. It found that nearly 68 percent of those who described their political views as conservative censored themselves, while just under half of moderates, and only 24 percent of liberals, said they did so. Were it just an isolated virus on college campuses, you might look the other way. But this lethal threat to our nation is being replicated in government, the courts, and in our daily interaction with business associates, colleagues, friends and even family members. It has become a toxin in the body politic of a country

face-saving peace deal that will restore most of Ukraine, with the exception of the Crimea, and guarantee that it remains a neutral country. But the arrogant Russians are still mobilizing for total victory. The argument in Washington about offensive or defensive weapons is ridiculous. Do you think Russia would send billions of dollars’ worth of weapons that could easily be easily neutralized by longrange missile attacks and destroyed without consequences? You can’t win a fistfight, or a war, without being able to counterpunch. We must counter Russia’s massive attacks by giving the Ukrainians weapon systems that can attack long-range missile launch sites, including naval platforms as well as those on land in occupied Ukraine and Russia. What’s the point of transporting advanced weapons systems to Ukraine that can easily be targeted and destroyed by long-range missiles? Or allowing the continued destruction of Ukrainian cities and infrastructure without retaliating against Russia? Does anybody think the genocidal Russian or Chinese military would adopt such a bizarre passive strategy? The Russians already presume that we’re giving the Ukrainians targeting intelligence and logistics — it’s time we do so. As of now, after being beaten back into their corner of occupied Ukraine, the Russians are pre-

founded on the words of the First Amendment, guaranteeing free speech. The First Amendment is the immovable cornerstone of our nation. I often find myself at odds with who the American Civil Liberties Union will represent in court, but I stand solidly beside them when they write, “An open society depends on liberal education, and the whole enterprise of liberal education is founded on the principle of free speech. How much we value the right of free speech is put to its severest test when the speaker is someone we disagree with most. Speech that deeply offends our morality or is hostile to our way of life warrants the same constitutional protection as other speech because the right of free speech is indivisible.” Again, the ACLU gets it right when it states, “More speech — not less — is the answer most consistent with our constitutional values.” A vibrant, robust, and strong democracy requires the unequivocal defense of our freedom of speech regardless of where, when or how we choose to speak our minds. Lose that right and we have lost the Republic. Ronald J.

paring to regroup and attack under the leadership of a murderous new general. I’m hoping and praying that Ukraine and its allies give Russia a knockout blow in the coming rounds. And we should remind the Russians that any use of chemical or nuclear weapons might prove

to be a suicidal move, with catastrophic consequences. The time has come to put another ugly, murderous, geek dictator and his fanatical minions in their graves. LOU DEHOLCZER Bronx
