Proud Boys once again march through RVC

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — May 26, 2022

By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

For the second time in six months, the alt-right political group known as the Proud Boys marched through Rockville Centre. Dozens of people joined its procession across Sunrise Highway on May 21, and down North Village Road as people watched from the sidewalks and inside local businesses. Some were observed giving the OK hand gesture, which has become associated with “white power,” and labeled a hate symbol in 2019 by the Anti-Defamation League. In a statement, Mayor Francis X. Murray said the village followed guidance from several state agencies and the village and county police departments in response to the march. “Our priorities were to recognize the extent to which such activity is protected by the First Amendment, but first and foremost to ensure that residents visitors and businesses are not placed in harm’s way and preserve public safety,” it read in part. He added that the village police monitored the situation and that the village and its residents “will not allow divisive rhetoric of any kind to divide us,” and that officials “will protect public safety and will not be provoked into actions which give unsavory groups the notoriety and public attention which they crave.” The group was promoting its messages of “minimal government,” “anti-racial guilt,” “venerating the housewife,” and “reinstating the spirit of Western chauvin-

The return of the Proud Boys to Rockville Centre drew the ire of local electeds almost immediately, including state Sen. Todd Kaminsky who tweeted a video of the march, adding, “This can’t be the new normal, and this isn’t who we are.” Nassau County Legislator Siela Bynoe, a Westbury Democrat with plans to run for Kathleen Rice’s seat in Congress, called the Proud Boys a “noxious presence” with their “white nationalist, neo-fascist rheto-

ric.” “Now more than ever, it is crucial for people of good conscience to stand together to reject their racist, misogynistic, antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ bigotry,” Bynoe added, “and send a clear message that hate has no place in Rockville Centre, Nassau County or anywhere else in our nation.” The Proud Boys were present at the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017, where chants of “white power” and “Jews will not replace

us” were heard throughout the weekend. More than 20 members or associates of the group have been indicted by the Justice Department for taking part in the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, intended to disrupt the Electoral College certification of Joe Biden as President of the United States. A similar march last November was countered by a rally of dozens of residents on the steps of Central Synagogue-Beth Emeth on Demott Avenue to denounce the group.

Downing unseats O’Shea on RVC school board By MIKE SMOLLINS msmollins@liherald.com

Editor’s note: The graphic on the front of last week’s Herald had the incorrect tally and percentage of votes for John O’Shea. He received 1,943 votes and lost by about 53 percent of the vote. We regret the error. When polls closed last Tuesday, Rockville Centre residents approved the $129 million budget for the 2022-23 school year and elected challenger Donna Downing to the school board over John O’Shea. Downing earned 2,169 votes, while O’Shea received 1,943, losing by about 53 percent of the vote. O’Shea had served on the school board for 12 years and is its current president. According to school officials, it was the largest voter turnout for a budget and school board election in 10 years. Downing said she was grateful to the community for voting her into office and thanked O’Shea for serving the school community for more than a decade. She added that she looked forward to working alongside new Superintendent Matthew Gaven, who will take over for interim Superintendent Robert Bartels on July 1.

“I look forward to gaining the trust of all residents and to keeping the lines of communication open,” she said. “It’s a time of great opportunity for our district as our board begins work with our new superintendent to set short-term and long-term goals. My own goals for our district include improved communications, transparency and fiscal accountability.” Downing has a deep background in education and service to schools. She is an English professor at Molloy College and has served on several district PTAs. O’Shea did not return a request for comment. The 2022-23 budget that voters approved is roughly $5 million more than the 2021-22 spending plan. It marks a tax increase of about $278 for the average taxpayer, and includes $1,800,000 in capital projects for maintenance, renovations and improvements throughout district buildings. The spending plan will expand art, athletic and extracurricular clubs and prog rams and includes carefullydesigned curriculums for all grade levels, which features an emphasis on the needs of special education students. Voters also approved the $3.8 million

Lucchesi netted 2,274 votes, while Sussman garnered 1,760 and Ludwig earned 1,455. Lucchesi said he was thankful that

voters entrusted him in the position and said he would take the role seriously. “I am confident that my 15 years of financial industry experience and indepth knowledge of budgets and financing options will be an asset to the board of trustees, the directors and the library staff,” he said. “At the start of my term, I plan to gain an extensive knowledge of the library’s overall financial profile and the state of the buildings, grounds and furnishings to determine if there is a need for upgrades or renovations.” Sussman thanked the voters and said she was honored to become a trustee. “The citizens of Rockville Centre love their library, as was evidenced by the wide margin by which its budget was approved,” she said. “Our residents recognize that the library staff works hard to meet their needs at all stages of their lives and, as we learned during the pandemic, in multiple ways, including curbside delivery of materials to patrons, online programming to reach out to the residents and now, happily, through increasing visits into the library itself. We all recognize that the library is more than shelves of books. It is one of the most important public centers in our village.”

NEIGHBORS IN THE NEWS Molloy’s valedictorian is determined Alexandra Fiderlein served as Molloy College’s class of 2022 valedictorian during its commencement ceremony at the Nassau Coliseum on Tuesday as the Herald went to press. It marks the last Molloy College graduating class as the institution has earned university status. Fiederlein, 21, of Merrick, earned a bachelor’s degree in biology and her pre-medical track, with a minor in chemistry. While at Molloy, she has also served as a volunteer doula at Winthrop NYU hospital, providing physical and emotional support to birthing women. She said she aspires to one day open a Alexandra birthing center that specializes in unmedicated births. She also plans to get her midwifery license and earn a degree in obstetrics and gynecology. In addition, Fiederlein participated in a cancer support group where she discussed breast cancer care during the Covid-19 pandemic with survivors. She also joined an international service trip to Cuba during her Molloy education, where she assisted with nursing home activities for the elderly and taught Eng-

lish to Cubans in the Havana community. Fiederlein has served as the treasurer of the LEAD club at Molloy College. A student in the CSTEP program, she had the opportunity to attend professional development workshops and work with faculty on conducting research. Under the guidance of Dr. Jodi Evans, Fiederlein published a mini review re g arding threedimensional culture models in osteoarthritis. She and her research partner, under the guidance of Dr. Noelle Cutter, conducted a study on how the Covid-19 Fiderlein pandemic affected breast cancer care in New York. Their team placed first in the MACUB research competition, and their project was accepted to be presented at Sigma Xi and AAAS. Their team recently submitted their research for publication, and they plan to continue their research this summer. Fiederlein is a member of Chi Beta Phi, Delta Epsilon Sigma, Delta Phi, and Omicron Alpha Zeta honor societies and has been on the dean’s list throughout her academic career at Molloy.

Trainer fulfilling fitness dreams By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

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,” Perrotta said. Rocco “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 Perrotta after enrolling at the 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, Perrotta attempted to make a living through fitness. 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. 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.”

Molloy to host 12th Palliative Care Conference msmollins@liherald.com

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, many sick patients were unable to see their loved ones in-person. During that trying time, it put even more of an emphasis on the importance of palliative care, a type of specialized medical care for people with serious illnesses that focuses on providing relief and comfort from the symptoms and stress of those illnesses. In keeping with that importance, Molloy College will host its 12th Palliative Care Conference — one of the largest in the country with hundreds of people expected to attend — on its campus and virtually on June 3 after a two-year absence during the pandemic. The conference was founded in 2008, and each year it offers participants new tools to provide professional, competent and compassionate care to patients and their families. “Typically, the conference offers topics that help the professionals deal with death and dying,” said Lou Cino, the dean of continuing education and professional studies at Molloy and a conference committee member, “not only for the patient, but for their families as well, and that can mean helping them physically, mentally or emotionally.” Palliative care has grown over the last two decades, Cino said. Graduates in a variety of professions, he added, rely on conferences such as these for professional development on the subject. At the event, experts from medicine, nursing, pastoral care, child life and social work will present the latest advancements in the fields of symptom management, ethics and communication, staff self-care and bereavement during the nearly eight-hour conference. The event will feature lectures and therapy demonstrations. Cino said the conference is important because it brings medical professionals and experts together to create a dialogue about the best palliative care practices.

MOLLOY COLLEGE WILL host the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference on June 3. “They’re health care professionals that served on the frontlines of the pandemic for the past two years,” he said. “It takes a special kind of person to do this work.” This year, the conference was renamed the Edith Richner Palliative Care Conference, in memory of the Herald Community Newspapers’ cofounder, and late mother of publishers Stuart and Cliff Richner. She was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder in 2006, and through palliative care, her last days were made more peaceful. “It’s wonderful and we’re so happy and excited that the conference is being named after Edith,” said Lori Har-

doon, a social worker and one of the event’s organizers since its inception. “Many people in the world of palliative care are women, and we have some powerhouse women that are a part of it. She was an amazing woman, a powerhouse and a leader.” When Edith was ill, Hardoon worked closely with her family and helped them navigate the health care system. Hardoon, a licensed clinical social worker and the senior director for palliative care supportive services at JASA, an agency that serves older adults in New York City, said that the conference has grown larger over the years and now participants even come from other states. The keynote speaker at the event will be Dr. Russell Portenoy, the executive director of the Manhattan-based MJHS Institute for Innovation in Palliative Care, a highly regarded voice in the field. Cino said that just a few years ago, there wasn’t as big of an emphasis on palliative care as there has been in recent years. He noted that most hospitals now have a unit dedicated to palliative care, a need magnified by Covid. “One of the horrible things about the pandemic is that you didn’t have the ability for the patients to be with their families,” he said. “These health care professionals were the last people they saw. They didn’t see their family, they didn’t see their friends and didn’t have a chance to say goodbye.” Hardoon said she was excited that the conference could reach a borader audience. “The beauty, for me, is I get to be there from the beginning of planning,” she said, “so I get the inside view of the plans behind each year. Each year, it gets better and better and the magnitude of it takes my breath away.” The conference is slated for June 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registration takes place at the Madison Theatre’s public square.

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

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.”

About the parade

served for three years. A bomber in which he was flying was shot down in Denmark, and after spending months as a prisoner of war, he said, one of the greatest moments of his life was being liberated when the war ended. “When you’re under attack, the adrenaline pours into your body because you’re not even aware of it,” Rosenberg said. “It was wonderful that we were liberated, thank God for that. Mentally I was a wreck, but I’m OK now. Coming home to the U.S., my family, my friends and my parents, that’s what I thought about.” After the service, Rosenberg met his future wife, Barbara Ulman, in what he described as a fateful encounter. He and a friend had set out on a road trip to Toronto when his friend’s car broke down in the Catskills. One of Rosenberg’s uncles owned a resort in the area, so they went there, and Rosenberg met Ulman, who was staying there as a guest. The two hit it off. “I didn’t know at that point she was going to be my wife, but I knew by the time I finished talking to her that I was going to marry her,” he recalled. “Fate put us together. If his car didn’t break down, I would not have met her.” The couple wed in 1949 and had three children, Carol, Joan and Robert. They lived in Manhattan, and then moved to

The Rockville Centre Memorial Day Parade is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. at Parking Field 2, at North Village and North Centre avenues. A ceremony is slated for Veterans Park at the John A. Anderson Recreation Center, 111 N. Oceanside Road, at 11 a.m.

WORLD WAR II veteran Herb Rosenberg will serve as grand marshal of the Memorial Day Parade on Monday. Above, Rosenberg was greeted with plenty of fanfare at his 100th birthday celebration in November. Rockville Centre more than 60 years ago. Barbara, who died in 2017, was devoted to their 15 grandchildren and 10 greatgrandchildren, Rosenberg said. After his time in the Air Force, Rosenberg owned Herbro Pharmacy in East

Rockaway for 25 years before retiring. American Legion Post 303 Commander Frank Colon said that a post committee determined that Rosenberg would be a fitting grand marshal for the parade. Colon, his next-door neighbor, described

Rosenberg as a “nice, humble” man. “He was chosen because of his bravery and commitment to the country,” Colon explained. “He represents his generation. They stepped up to the plate and did the right thing. People don’t realize the enormous sacrifices they made for their country.” Rosenberg said he would be honored to serve as grand marshal, and joked that he wasn’t sure what, exactly, was expected of him. “I think I have to practice my waving,” he said with a laugh. “I love Rockville Centre and everything about it. I love this house I’m in. I’m happy here. I’m happy being surrounded by my wonderful children. I have nothing but thanks.”

After making history last year with its first ever country finals appearance, South Side girls’ lacrosse is primed for another deep playoff run. Competing among the best teams in Nassau County in Conference I, South Side finished the regular season at 7-7, which included a pair of losses by two goals to powerhouse programs Garden City and Wantagh. “The girls are confident no matter who they step on the field with,” said sixth-year South Side coach Rob Devlin. “There were a lot of close games where we came up a little bit short but we learned from them and you cannot start off slow and give other teams a head start and try and catch up.” South Side began its quest to return to the county championship stage with a 12-9 victory against Plainedge last Friday in the Class C quarterfinals powered by four goals from Emily Iacobellis. The fourthseeded Cyclones will next take on top-seeded Wantagh in the semifinals Thursday at Adelphi’s Motamed Field. In its regular season meeting with Wantagh on April 28, South Side hung tough with the Warriors in an 11-9 loss in which senior goalie Mackenzie Creagh registered 19 saves. Creagh, who will play college lacrosse at Holy Cross next year, has anchored a stout defense this year that includes starting defenders in senior Ciara Giannone (Albany commit), senior Emma Madden, sophomore Morgan Harloff and freshman Sienna Connolly. “To Mazkenxie’s credit when you talk to her about a game like Wantagh she likes to remind us that the defense did a great job of keeping teams to bad angle shots which makes her life easier,” said Devlin of his standout goalie. “She made some unbelievable saves but she also realizes that it is the whole group that makes the difference which I think they are all learning. The Cyclones also showed they could compete with championship-level teams during a 12-10 loss to Garden City on April 14 in a rematch of last year’s Class B finals. South Side received two goals apiece from

IN A REMATCH OF last year’s Nassau Class B final, South Side’s Caitlin Haggerty scored twice in a hard-fought 12-10 loss to Garden City last month. Iacobellis, Caitlin Haggerty, Mia Delmond and Annie Madden underscoring the diverse amount of weapons the Cyclones boast. The Cornell-bound Iacobellis leads the offense with 38 goals and nine assists. Sophomore Avery Testa has also emerged as a big offensive threat with 33 goals. Freshman Charlotte Rathjen has taken the majority of the draw controls this year filling the void of senior Maggie Long, who suffered a season-ending ACL injury in late March. South Side will look to reach the county

championship for a second straight year. A win against the reigning Class C runner up Wantagh, the No. 1 seed, would move the Cyclones to the Class C finals back at Adelphi Tuesday versus the winner of Thursday’s other semifinal between Manhasset and North Shore. “Every game we are trying to walk off the field better than when we walked onto the field,” Devlin said. “They have learned every time they have stepped on the field what it takes to compete at this level and they have been fun to watch grow.”

Ongoing track work forces more LIRR changes

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.

ROCKVILLE CENTRE HERALD — May 26, 2022

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

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-

Herald file photo

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.

Plan for storage leads to resident backlash CONTINUED FROM FRONT PAGE to amend its request or find another use for the building. Calls to the company requesting comment had not been returned at press time. Vineet Khosla, who said he has lived in Rockville Centre for more than three decades, was among those who voiced their opposition to the storage facility. “I was opposed to the project because I live on Powell Avenue, and I’m seeing that sometimes they give the OK to projects that are absolutely ridiculous,” Khosla said of the zoning board. “We have too many commercial buildings in our town, and we’re going to put a whole other commercial building there. It’s a family-oriented street, in front of our recreation center. If you put up a full commercial enterprise, I don’t think anybody in town is going to like it, which is probably why it failed.” Several village residents criticized the variance request online in a “Save Little Town, stop the storage facility from expanding” post on Facebook, and attended the hearing as well. “The height is nearly doubled what is permitted and the parking is radically under what is required,” the post read. “This lot is at the very entrance to The Little Town shopping district and in a village where there are four other storage facilities less than a mile away. This space deserves a more beautiful entry to The Little Town.”

THE ROCKVILLE CENTRE Zoning Board denied a request by a developer for variances to build a storage facility at 117 N. Long Beach Road.

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!

OPINIONS

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-

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

‘

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

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.

OPINIONS

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:

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.

FRAMEWORK by Tim Baker

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

CORRECTION The news release “D.A. alleges RVC man stole $870K in scheme” was erroneously printed in the May 12-18 edi-

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-

tion of the Herald. There was no update on the case. We regret the error.
