SEAFoRD RESIDENT ElMA Hasi has a gaping hole in the back corner of her sinking garage, which formed after a contractor attempted to fix it in 2018.

‘Sinking’ properties are leaving residents in distress By KATE NAlEPINSKI knalepinski@liherald.com

Some Seaford residents are claiming that their homes, garages and sheds are sinking into the ground. Despite spending thousands of dollars on repairs, few have any idea what’s causing the damages. Janet Romeo, who lives on Old Post Road, said she has spent at least $35,000 to repair and raise her home, which she purchased in 1986. She expects that total will only continue to rise, and she has taken out a second mortgage to pay all the bills. Every five years, Romeo and her husband, Frank, pay an engineering company to keep

their house from sinking farther into the ground. The company also installed helical piles to the base of the house for foundational support. Romeo said her family first discovered cracks in the foundation of the home in 1997, when she wanted to put an extension on it. The cracks were hidden behind a storage area for garbage bins. She had the house inspected that year, and found that the basement had severe foundational damage. It was finished with knotty pine paneling, so the cracking had been disguised. “These were pretty big cracks,” Romeo said. “We’re not just talking about cracks the size of Continued on page 3

Bad soil may cause some structural damage

SEAFORD HERALD — March 31, 2022

continued from front page a thread — they were substantial.” She said she was advised by people at a home show to get a soil engineering company to sample the soil and uncover its composition. So she hired Seaford-based Soil Mechanics Drilling Corporation. “It was sort of suggested that when they built the homes in our area, they just knocked down the trees … instead of carting them off,” Romeo recalled. “So as those trees disintegrate, it impacts the soil quality.” But the damage goes beyond the foundation. There’s now a crack in the living room, where wall meets the ceiling. It’s become a safety issue: Some of the windows and doors in the home don’t shut properly, and the Romeos have lost air conditioning and heat due to gaping walls. Romeo, whose two sons graduated from the Plainedge Union Free School District, said she is concerned that the damage will impact her ability to sell the house down the line. “How are we going to sell this house? Who would buy it?” she asked. “If they’re going to have a $60,000 bill to fix parts of the house, we’re not going to get the money we need [from the sale] to buy something else.” The experience has been so intense, she said, that it prompted her to seek therapy. “I was so depressed about it. It’s caused me anguish,” she said. “I always say, what’s most important is that my kids are healthy and I’m healthy. But this is my home.” South of Romeo’s house, several Seaford residents are having similar issues. Elma Hasi, 78, who has lived on Marilyn Drive since 1962, has been using bricks to prop up a corner of her garage to keep it from collapsing. About 15 years ago, Hasi spent $18,500 to have a contractor build a new two-car garage in a back corner of her property. Now the structure is sinking into the ground, she said, along with part of her yard. There are cracks on the garage floor that have worsened over time. “This is not only me,” Hasi said. “I went door to door going down my block, and discovered 12 people have a problem.” In 2018, Hasi gave a contractor a $4,000 down payment to repair her garage. He ripped up a portion of the floor, but rejected the project after he claimed the soil was poor due to underground trees. “I think these guys, they just see an old lady and they take advantage,” she said. “There’s nobody I can trust.” Both women have spoken with their insurance companies, and both companies defined the damages as acts of God, or accident resulting from natural causes. Damage from floods and earthquakes usually falls into this category. Hasi has sought help from elected leaders. She wrote a letter to then U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Republican from Seaford. She has also spoken with the Town of Hempstead “over 10 times,” she said, and the town suggested she find an engineer. “I’ve been paying taxes for 60 years,” Hasi said. “I always said that someone [from the town] should’ve come

and looked at it.” Now she says she has “no choice” but to demolish the garage. “It’s very stressful,” she said. “I lost sleep over this. I’ve cried a lot.” Gregory Blower, a spokesman for the Town of Hempstead, said on Monday that the town is not legally responsible

for these kinds of issues. “While the town understands and sympathizes with our residents,” he said, “our engineering department has recommended that a private engineer be hired in order to inspect other possible geological or natural issues not relating to the town’s underground infrastructure.”

What’s neWs in and out of the classroom

An in-person science exhibition was a welcome change for a trio of Seaford High School students, who had been competing in virtual contests for the past two years. Madison Elias, Kailly Nocera and Chelsea Russo all took part in the recent Long Island Science and Engineering Fair on March 8 at the Crest Hollow Country Club, with two garnering awards. F rom Seaford’s science research program, 18 projects were submitted into the LISEF competition and six were accepted. Madison, Kailly and Chelsea then competed in the second round, with judges visiting them throughout the day and asking questions about their research projects. Madison and Chelsea competed in the animal and plant sciences category, with Madison earning second place for her project, questioning if green tea can extend the memory for extinction training in the great pond snail. Chelsea analyzed the impact of artificial sweeteners in planaria and the

potential implications to humans. Kailly’s project on the movement of water and ice on Mars, and the potential for habitability, earned her second place in the math, astronomy and physics category. She also earned the NASA Earth Systems Science Project Award. The students attended the fair with their science research teachers, Janine Cupo and Mary Simons. They said they enjoyed the face-to-face interaction with the judges, who offered helpful critiques. It also was an opportunity to connect with science students throughout Long Island and see the wide range of topics their peers are researching. “It makes all of the hard work worth it,” Madison, whose last inperson competition was in March 2020, said in a press release. Chelsea said in a press release that this was her first time attending a science competition and the experience will better prepare her for participation in future symposiums.

South Carolina offers sunny, affordable lifestyle

March 31, 2022 — SEAFORD HERALD

By KEPHERD DANIEL

Want to watch the webinar?

kdaniel@liherald.com

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

If you missed the live presentation of Herald Inside LI’s “Dreaming of Moving South,” you can watch the whole thing online at tinyurl.com/CharlestonMove.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Republicans continue to do nothing to control the influx of guns and wear mental health budget cuts as a badge of honor.”

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

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

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

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

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

Seaford students create two new clubs By MARIA CESTERO mcestero@liherald.com

Two new clubs will be a part of the extracurricular landscape at Seaford High School next school, year as the Bracket Leadership Club and the Wellness and Fitness have been created. Superintendent Adele Pecora officially welcomed the new clubs during the hybrid March 23 Board of Education meeting that took place both in-person and was live streamed. You’re on,” she said to the new groups Marc Brackett, the founder and director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, inspired the Bracket Leadership Club The students met Brackett, who is also a professor in the Child Study Center of Yale University. The club aims to discuss healthy strategies for handing a range of emotions and learn how to develop as leaders. Another group of students were also inspired by Bracket to create the Wellness and Fitness Club to meet once or twice a week and take part in activities beneficial to both mental and physical health. The students also seek more fun activities. Pecora endorsed both clubs.

than it was decades ago.” In addition, the high school’s boys and girls bowling teams both won county championships.

School budget

The board also presented its budget proposals. The trustees said that the district would be receiving $1.1238 million more in state aid that will be applied to rising operation costs. Transportation will also increase as in-person school has returned with the coronavirus pandemic waning. On May 17, when residents vote on the budget and for trustees there was also be two propositions on the ballot. Proposition 1 is the school budget. Proposition 2 is a request to use $4.5 million of the previously funded capital reserve to build a multi-purpose turf field to be used by physical education classes and 11 of the sports teams. Pecora also stated the board was looking to purchase new textbooks for the district. Grades seven through 11 would be able to use the same continual instructional program by using the same textbooks, she said.

Snack shop

Pecora encouraged everyone to support the high school’s clubs by buying items from the recently renovated snack shop. The snack shop was overhauled through a grant by County Legislator Steven Rhoades. The snack shop features a fresh interior as well as new siding.

Small numbers doing big things

March 31, 2022 — SEAFORD HERALD

20

There’s something I like about small numbers, especially the numbers 1, 2 and 3. For me, more than three is typically unmanageable. I believe that at any specific time everything I need to do and everything I want to remember should be no more than three. I’ll explain what I mean with three examples: 1. If you’re running around today attempting to get 101 things done - stop! Ask yourself what are the three most important tasks you need to do now. Then get them done. Three is manageable; 101 is not. If you finish the three

and still have energy to do more, do another one. Then when you complete the task, pat yourself on the back and say, “I did it, good for me!” 2. If you’re feeling dumb because you can’t figure out some of the features of your cell, computer, printer or the latest gadget you just bought, stop! It’s all too much. Settle on learning one thing - only one! Hopefully, when you figure out this one feature, you’ll feel more confident and a little less technologically challenged. Success is born by achieving one accomplishment at a time!

Instead of thinking about the total amount of weight you’d like to lose, focus on losing two pounds this week. Or maybe just one. Whatever you accomplish, that’s great! Next week, aim for another pound or two; no more! You put on the weight a pound at a time; you need to take it off the same way.

3. If you’ve had a frustrating day and feel ready to explode, don’t try to calm your anger by counting to ten. That doesn’t work. When you’re furious, counting to ten takes a millisecond, and then wham — you erupt with more fury than before. Instead, take three deep breaths, inhaling slowly, exhaling slowly. Deep breaths are most effective in creating calm. Okay, do you have these suggestions down pat? If not, reread them till they sink in. No matter how many gray cells you have, there’s just so much you can absorb at any one time. So, don’t read on until you’ve digested the first three ideas. Then, and only then, are you ready for more.

■ Yo u ’ r e a n g r y ! B u t instead of enumerating all the faults of your loved one, pick out one thing most annoying to you and discuss it with him/her. Okay, two if you can’t control yourself ! Fingers are not to be used to tally up all the wicked, nasty, stupid things your loved one did. Fingers are meant for better things.

Okay, enough is enough! I hope you spend the rest of this day enjoying yourself. apadin So many of us don’t for we’re too busy worrying about all the stuff we gotta do.

■ Perhaps you’ve read an article entitled, “25 ways to get more organized.” Twenty-five, are you serious? The author must think you’re sitting around with nothing to do except master these maxims. No, no, no! You have a life to live. So, throw out that magazine (one task accomplished!) or skim the article to see if an idea or two might be helpful. Just one or two, max three will do. ■ Want to lose weight? Yup, many of us do. Big numbers can sabotage your objective when it comes to weight loss.

Too much second-floor overhang?

HOME Of tHE WEEK

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

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

Rockville Centre

Classic Center Hall Tudor Colonial

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

L

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

A

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

W

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

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

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

Where am I at 75? Reflections from the edge

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

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

A

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

opinions

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

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

Letters and consumer groups.

Child care providers deserve to make a decent living To the Editor: I have been a child care provider in Freeport for eight years. I watch infants take their first steps and form their first words.

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

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

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

FrameWork by Joe Abate

built a stable relationship with me and my staff, which is critical to child development. But the 16 children in my care come from families who qualify for a state subsidy. The subsidy is nowhere close to the cost of quality care. Throughout the pandemic, I and my staff have provided these children with a social and educational foundation while barely making minimum wage. How long can we afford to be underpaid? Members of the State Legislature have joined parents and providers who are calling for a big investment in the state budget to rescue the child care system.
