A ‘resilient’ class of 2022 walks the stage By JUAN lASSo jlasso@liherald.com

Hundreds of graduating seniors from across the district’s three high schools — North, Central and South — walked the commencement stage last week to receive diplomas marking the end of one era and the beginning of a new one. In many ways, this year’s three individual graduation ceremonies went off like any other. Beaming parents sat underneath a pitched tent at Junior High Memorial, cameras at the ready, as families and

friends cheered the graduates in their ceremonial caps and gown. A look back at the last four years shows these graduates came of age as high schoolers during a time of major school disruption caused by Covid-19. Major school events and activities were canceled or postponed. Students switched to a remote learning format. When they returned to school, they coped with mask-wearing and social distancing. More recently, they’ve contended with a mental health crisis and the worries and fears caused by an uptick in school gun violence.

NortH HigH ScHool seniors threw their caps skyward after being recognized as graduates. “The one word I’d use to describe the class of 2022 is resilient,” South High Principal Maureen Henry told the graduating Falcons. “They’ve found a way to stay strong, positive, cooperative, and fun despite some very challenging times. Their energy, enthusiasm, and accomplishments will be remembered for many

years.” Parents like Osbour ne Traill, who watched her daughter, Elizabeth, take the stage as the last of five children to graduate from South, seemed to agree. “My son (who graduated in 2020) did not have a graduation like this one with his entire class,” said Traill, who remem-

bers that groups of students would come at separate time slots to pick up their diplomas. “They never got the full experience of graduation, so we’ve come a long way. Remote learning was a challenge for everyone. No one was prepared.” “This is my third kid to graduate in the district. We Continued on page 20

‘Aladdin’ Broadway performer now helps others shine By JUAN lASSo jlasso@liherald.com

When Broadway shut down two years over public health concerns amid the rapidly spreading coronavirus, not only did the district’s 41 theaters go dark, but thousands of performers suddenly found themselves without a job. Lauryn Ciardullo, of Valley Stream, said the livelihoods of many in the performing arts were uptur ned over night, including her own. She performed in “Aladdin” on Broadway for almost seven years, serving as a swing and understudy for the part of Prin-

cess Jasmine in the original cast of the popular musical based on the 1992 Disney animated film. In the hectic, often unforeseen world of show business, Ciardullo was tasked with performing on stage as a cast member in the musical’s ensemble, playing multiple parts, and filling in for the lead as Jasmine, sometimes at a moment’s notice. It was a demanding gig even for the most seasoned theatre performers. “There were times when I knew I was on for Jasmine for a week, but there were also times when I would wake up and have no idea who I would be playing in the show that day,” said Ciardullo. “It could be one of

eight roles or if multiple people called out sick or injured, I might be playing two roles at once. We call that a split track.” No stranger to sudden change, when Ciardullo first heard the news of the shutdown, she expected it would be only a matter of weeks before the show curtains would rise again on the city’s famed theatre district. In the meantime, she would spend those first few weeks, hosting free song and dance classes over Zoom for kids in Valley Stream and around Long Island. “I always taught master classes so I figured this would be a great way to keep up my teaching skills,” said Ciardullo. She

taught students as young as 6 years old how to sing a Broadway or Disney song — from “It’s a Hard Knock Life” from the musical “Annie” to “This Is Me” from “The Greatest Showman” —and get them up on their feet to learn accompanying choreography. She took to social media and posted on Facebook groups like Valley Stream Moms to pro-

mote her lessons. Weeks stretched into months as the shutdown dragged on for what became a year and a half — the industry’s longest shutdown. But in that span of time, Ciardullo watched her side project take off. “At one point, I had 100 kids Continued on page 17

What’s neWs in and out of the classroom

Herald ScHoolS District 13 students have a harvest party at farm

Valley Stream diStrict 13 students were able to visit Crossroads Farms to pick lettuce leaves they’ve been cultivating for months and turn them into a salad for their enjoyment.

Valley Stream district 13 students visited the Crossroads Farm, operated by the Nassau County Land Trust, as they came full circle on a planting project a year in the making. Students had originally been tasked with planting lettuce seeds in a nursery pot at school. Those pots were eventually taken to be transplanted over to the nonprofit’s organic, 5-acre vegetable farm, where students were able to watch their lettuce leaves grow through weekly video updates courtesy of the Crossroads Farm staff team. Now, students were able to see and pick their finished creation, which they turned into a salad for their enjoyment during their harvest party at the farm. They also were treated to the farm’s fresh honey, drank mint tea, picked fresh flowers, squeezed fresh orange juice, and ate bread with butter and chives. “Valley Stream district 13 students learn at an early age about how agriculture impacts the world around them through their work with Crossroads Farm,” said the district’s media liaison Grace Kwon. “They learn about the growing cycle and how to cultivate crops throughout their educational and interactive hands-on experiences offered by the district.” –Juan Lasso

Hochul banks on finding jobs across New York state There are more than 15,000 jobs — a record amount — posted on the state labor department’s seasonal job bank in a variety of industries from amusement parks to farms and restaurants and summer camps across every region. The free state resource allows businesses to list employment opportunities, and job seekers can look at part-time and seasonal jobs by location, company, job title and by searching through keywords. Guides for young people looking for work are available online to help them navigate what they need before filling out job applications. Divided by age groups — between 14 and 17, as well as 18 and 24 — the guides include information on obtaining working papers, the proper identification required, and even resume preparation. “With such an active job market, there is a wide variety of options to explore across the state,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said, in a release. “I encourage all job seekers to use the many resources the New York State Department of Labor offers to guide them to a job they love.” Part-time work is a vital component to help the state’s economy recover from the Covid pandemic, according to labor department commissioner Robert Reardon. It provides a boost to job seekers, such as helping them return to a previous career that might not have full-time posi-

Nassau police solve Valley Stream cold case murder By JUAN LASSO jlasso@liherald.com

Convicted serial killer Richard Cottingham was charged with murder by county prosecutors who allege he strangled and killed Diane Cusick, 23, of New Hyde Park inside her car at the Green Acres Mall parking lot 54 years ago. Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced criminal charges June 22, after new DNA evidence linked Cottingham to the cold case. He is charged with one count of second-degree murder, which carries a maximum sentence of 25 to life in prison. An ailing Cottingham, 75, tuned in via videoconference from St. Francis Medical Center in New Jersey before Nassau County Court Judge Caryn Fink, where he pleaded not guilty. Cottingham is already serving a life sentence in a New Jersey state prison for a spree of brutal killings in New Jersey and New York between 1967 and 1980. His five confirmed victims were women, though Cottingham has admitted to kidnapping, raping, torturing, and killing countless others. Suffolk County police officials alerted Nassau officials that DNA evidence recovered from the scene outside the shopping mall matched a sample of Cottingham’s DNA. “A DNA profile was generated and uploaded to the national database,” said ______________

Donnelly. “We received notification that there was a match that led us to Richard Cottingham, whose profile was already in the database.” Cusick was a dance teacher in Oceanside and a mother of one. On Feb. 15, 1968, she had left the dance studio by 7 p.m. She told her parents that she was going to buy a pair of dancing shoes at the mall in Valley Stream. Hours had passed and Cusick had not returned home. Her parents frantically drove to search for her at the Green Acres parking lot at around 10:30 p.m., where they discovered Cusick’s dead body in the backseat of her car with her face duct-taped and hands tied. Officials said she had been raped and beaten before being strangled. Cottingham had a long history of impersonating security guards and police officials at malls, where he would allegedly lure them in to abduct and kill them, according to Detective Captain Stephen Fitzpatrick. A shaken Darlene Altman, standing alongside police officials at the news conference following the indictment, was four when her mother was murdered. “I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who worked on this case. I never thought I’d see this day,” said Altman, holding back tears. “I thought I’d given up, but all of these people have gotten me justice.”

Herald honors L.I.’s best in health care Achievements of doctors, first responders and more recognized By KYLE CHIN

kchin@liherald.com

any called them heroes at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. But for anyone who has ever paid attention at a hospital or any medical facility, they’ve always been super. Honoring them is long overdue, but more than 400 people gathered to do just that at The Heritage Club in Bethpage last week for the Herald’s premiere Long Island Excellence in Healthcare Awards. Hosted by RichnerLive and Herald Community Newspapers with presenting sponsor FirstNet, Built with AT&T, some 40 of health care’s best from across Nassau County — and from Suffolk County as well — were honored June 15. Dr. Adhi Sharma, president of Mount Sinai South Nassau, was among those honored. And what’s happening at the Oceanside facility has the executive more excited than ever. “Right now, Mount Sinai South Nassau is undergoing a transformation,” he said. “We will be adding a number of advanced programs — including open-heart surgery, advanced neurosurgical techniques, and advanced stroke rescue techniques.” In his acceptance speech for being named one of Long Island’s outstanding hospital leaders, Sharma reflected not only on work already done, but also what’s planned for the MaurEEN future. WHItE “We look forward to this era beyond the pandemic,” he said, executive vice while “going back to typical care president, for our patients and working Northwell Health with the technology advancements we’ve gotten as a result of the pandemic.” Maureen White, executive vice president and chief nurse executive at Northwell Health, called the past two years or so “uncharted water.” “To see how we’ve come together in health care to navigate these uncharted and turbulent waters on behalf of our patients, it’s been very inspiring,” she added. The keynote was delivered by White’s boss, Northwell’s president and chief executive Michael Dowling. He couldn’t attend the ceremony itself — where he was honored for his lifetime achievement — because he’s traveling overseas, but he did sit down with Herald executive editor Michael Hinman on video to share what health care is like in a post-Covid world. “I never look at the world through the lens of challenges,” Dowling said. “I look at the world through the lens of opportunity. So to me, it’s the opportunity to continue to provide better care. To deal with prevention, wellness, the social determinants issues, dealing with food insecurity, dealing with lifestyle behaviors, and focusing more on those communities across the region in dire need.” So much focus has been given to Covid-19 in recent years — and rightfully so — but that isn’t the only health issue facing many people. Work must continue in other fields as well, like what Bruce Stillman is doing at of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Oyster Bay’s Laurel Hollow. “Our most recent project was for spinal muscular atrophy, which is the most lethal genetic disease in children, that now keeps those kids alive,” the laboratory’s

But still, even his facility — which has weathered through a number of pandemics and health crises over its more than 130 years — couldn’t avoid the coronavirus. “When the pandemic started, we started working on Covid and Covid-related symptoms such as lung fibrosis,” Stillman said. “We never shut down. We kept doing research. And we’re back to normal now — or almost normal.” Honorees were not limited to the lab or hospital but also included first responders — often the first point of medical assistance in emergencies. “Law enforcement and the medical field are always together,” said Patrick Ryder, Nassau County’s police commissioner. “Whether it’s bringing patients to hospitals, our own members getting sick and needing help, 9/11 services, PTSD services — we’re always tied at the hip with the health services.“ Michael Uttaro, the county’s chief fire marshal, helps bring together emergency services in a broad community that includes more than 70 volunteer fire departments and six volunteer ambulance corps. “I assist with coordinating those units, which incorporate ambulances and EMS,” Uttaro said. “We regularly interact with hospitals, urgent care and everything in between. It’s a nice honor to be recognized for what you do.” Many of those first responders depend on FirstNet, a technology network managed by AT&T, that was first developed after the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “FirstNet has been in the first responder and public safety space for well over 100 years,” said Anthony Postiglione, a public safety solutions sales executive for

It’s something that has been built for all of them. “It was an honor for FirstNet, Built with AT&T, to support and attend this remarkable event, and celebrate our health care and law enforcement heroes for all they have done for our community, the region, and the state of New York during the pandemic,” she said. “As they say, not all superheroes wear capes.

Secrets of stress management Guest Column

■ Begin by scheduling yourself realistically, allowing enough time for the unexpected. Many tasks take at least 10 percent longer than you imagine they will. Even if they don’t, lucky you! You’ll have some free time to just be.

■ When you ask a “What if ?” question, answer it! If you don’t it will simply stir up stress and anxiety, making your efforts that much harder. ■ Sometimes there’s a thin line between feeling apadin stressed and excited, especially when you’re immersed in a new venture. Pay more attention to your excitement, less attention to your stress and watch your efforts pay off !

Linda S

■ Break down big tasks into a number of smaller ones that you can complete within a manageable period of time. Each time you finish the smaller task, give yourself a highfive! Then move on to the next step. ■ When you can’t get everything done in the time you have, distinguish between tasks requiring your best effort, those that can be done with less effort and those that may not be worth doing at all. Every task

■ Prioritize. Don’t believe the hype that you can have it all. You can’t. Say “no” to taking on some tasks to avoid becoming overly stressed. Then you’ll have time and energy to say “yes” to what’s important or interesting to you. ■ Stress is contagious. Hence, increase the time you spend with

optimistic, upbeat people; decrease the time you spend with pessimistic, gloom and doom folks. ■ Avoid keeping yourself so busy with have-to’s that you have no time for want-to’s. And don’t forget there are times you want to simply be - not always do. After all, we are human beings, not human doings. ■ You’re not a machine that can keep working non-stop. It’s important for you to relax even when you imagine you don’t have time for it. So, no matter how busy you are, make it a priority to calm yourself down - breathe deeply, listen to your favorite music, chat with a good friend, or whatever helps you relax your mind and body. Here’s hoping these suggestions are useful to you. Yes, take care of your responsibilities, but also take time out to nurture yourself, your loved ones, and do what you love to do! ©2022 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people improve their relationships, enhance their lives and overcome procrastination and fear.

Protests erupt after Roe v. Wade falls By KARINA KOVAC kkovac@liherald.com

It started with a moment of silence. Then screams. And then it was a furious rage. That was the scene outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola on Friday in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that is widely seen as overturning the U.S. Constitutional protection given to abortion access in 1973’s Roe v. Wade decision. The 6-3 ruling found in favor of a 2018 Mississippi state law that banned most abortion procedures after the first 15 weeks of pregnancy. When it came to Roe v. Wade — and a 1992 ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey that reinforced that original decision — the court was more divided, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal minority. But that wasn’t enough to maintain the constitutionality of abortion access, losing 5-4. Friday’s courthouse protest was organized by Long Island Rapid Response I Dissent Rally, which got a head start on the decision thanks to an unprecedented leak of the majority opinion last month. Rally organizers believe some 36 states will now make abortion illegal. New York will not be one of those states, however. The state legislature has already codified Roe v. Wade, keeping its abortion access intact. However, other states are expected to remove such access, including in pregnancies resulting from sexual assault and incest in states like Arkansas, Texas and Missouri. Many states pre-empted the decision with so-called “trigger bans,” making abortion illegal there the moment the court removed its Constitutional protection. “Oppressing access to reproductive health is a racial justice issue,” Nia Adams of the Long Island Progressive Coalition, told the courthouse crowd on Friday. “To add further insult to injury, the facts remain that Black maternity mortality rate in this country is four times higher for Black women than for our white counterparts.” Ellen Meister is no stranger to such protests. Hailing from Jericho, she attended her first march in 1982 in Washington. “It’s been a long time and I’m tired, but I’m here because it’s important,” Meister said. “I’m long past the age where it’s going to matter to me, but I care about women’s rights and bodily autonomy.” She held up a sign with a bloodied coat hanger, symbolizing how society can’t go back to barbaric and unsafe methods of abortions. “I wanted to make a really dramatic statement because this is reality,” Meister said. “People are going to die.” But not everyone was disappointed in the decision. U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, called the court’s decision a “victory for life, for family, for the Constitution, and for federalism.” “Today is yet another reminder that New York clearly needs to do a much better job to promote, respect and defend

life,” the congressman added. Northwell Health released a statement soon after the decision, saying it was disappointed by the court’s ruling. “This decision is a setback for women’s reproductive health. Our concern as the region’s largest health care provider is that this ruling will succeed in ending access to safe abortions and disproportionately cause harm to those who already have limited access to health care.” Jay is worried about that as well. They held a sign at the rally declaring “abortion is trans health care,” telling a reporter how the transgender community continues to be excluded from the conversation. “We’re not only women, even though women are very important to the conversation, obviously,” Jay said, “but I think it’s important to remember our marginalized communities that’re disproportionally affected by this.”

NIA AdAms fROm Long Island Progressive Coalition, speaks to some 200 people who gathered outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola in the hours following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision on abortion access.

There were opinions from all sides following last week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on abortion rights, including fromn local lawmakers. “The public health ramifications of this ruling will be enormous, especially for economically disadvantaged women who already struggle with access to health care,” Nassau County legislator Kevan Abrahams, a Democrat, said in a statement. “If we are to stop the backward slide that we are now witnessing in our nation, we must organize, mobilize and vote, because our freedom and personal liberty are at the top of the ballot.” Anthony D’Esposito, a Republican on the Hempstead town council, told his Twitter followers that he was “strongly opposed” by the decision of state Democrats to “enact the nation’s most extreme abortion law, legalizing late-term and partial-birth abortion, allowing abortions to be provided by non-doctors,” and removing criminal penalties for what he described as “assaults on pregnant women,” causing “unborn child death.” “Today’s decision by the U.S. Supreme Court neither upends that unpopular law, nor affects the ability of any woman in New York to have an abortion,” D’Esposito added. “Here’s the truth,” said Josh Lafazan, a Democrat on the Nassau County Legislature, who is running for Congress. “Anti-choice extremists have demonstrated for years that they are willing to stop at nothing to get what they want.” –Karina Kovac

After Broadway shutdown, performer finds her niche continued from front page from nine different countries in my Zoom class,” she said. Soon, she was flooded with messages and calls from parents asking for private voice and acting lessons and it turned into a full-time job. This led her to make a major career shift. “When Broadway reopened, I decided not to return to ‘Aladdin,’” said Ciardullo. “Because I loved teaching so much and sharing my professional knowledge with young passionate performers.” One such performer was 11-year-old Victoria “Tori” Bizzoco, of Oceanside. The young actress recently finished her off-Broadway performance of “Hair Spray” by the Actor’s Technique New York company when she decided to take time to refine her acting chops and eventually call up Ciardullo. Bizzoco, she explained, wanted to come under the wing of a 15-year industry pro in hopes of landing the role of Summer Hathaway in an Off-Broadway production of “School of Rock” at the John Cullum Theatre earlier this year. And that’s exactly what she did. Ciardullo prepared Bizzoco to create her audition tape from her home studio in Valley Stream. “She was really adamant about playing

Summer, so we were going to work on this super hard,” said Ciardullo. Bizzoco is incredibly organized and meticulous, noted Ciardullo aptly fitting the managerial character of Summer Hathaway. During the audition prep process, Ciardullo wanted to immerse Bizzoco in the stage experience, setting up professional lighting in her studio. “We set up professional lighting. We went through, you know, all of her singing cards and any lines that she would have in the show,” said Ciardullo. “We worked on how she should act out each scene and certain phrases on the songs, where to place vocal emphasis, and what kind of movements and gestures go into it.” “All my coaches are different, but I’ve known Lauryn the longest and she’s also the one I work with the most,” said Bizzoco. “It’s definitely fun to go to her house to record (my audition tape).” Teaching kids “surpasses any award or any Tony performance I’ve ever done,” said Ciardullo. “I never thought I’d say that, but seeing a kid light up and feel confident about what they’re doing is like my heart wants to cry with happiness. I think this is what I was meant to do.”

Lawmakers want fentanyl tests in Narcan kits Flanked by community leaders and recovery advocates on the front steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive & Legislative Building, county legislators unveiled proposed legislation recently intended to require the inclusion of fentanyl-detecting test strips in opioid overdose treatment kits distributed by Nassau County agencies. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency describes fentanyl as a synthetic opioid that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Consuming fentanyl-laced drugs — often unbeknownst to the user — has resulted in reported massive increases in overdose deaths among opioid abusers. Including fentanyl testing strips with these treatment kits — known by its brand name, Narcan — would serve as a low-cost way of potentially identifying tainted drugs and preventing accidental overdoses, county officials said. The strips would cost $1 each. “Fentanyl has dramatically raised the stakes of our ongoing battle to conquer the opioid drug addiction crisis,” Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton said. “Distributing these strips will give residents another tool for preventing the devastation caused by fatal overdoses.” Using Narcan to help treat an opioid overdose has been life-saving, Legislator Debra Mulé said. “Pairing fentanyl detection testing strips with the Narcan kits we distribute is a common-sense way for Nassau County

Courtesy Office of the Nassau County Legislature Minority

LocaL government and health officials gathered to promote the inclusion of fentanyl testing strips in drug treatment kits used by first responders, including Keisha GrahamWilson of Central Nassau Guidance and Counseling Services, Dr. Sharon Harris of Substance Abuse Free Environments, Legislator Arnold Drucker, Legislator Debra Mulé, Claudia Rotondo of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse, Jeff Stone of Project Help Long Island, and Legislator Delia DeRiggi-Whitton. to accelerate our collective efforts to prevent overdoses and save lives,” she added. Suffolk County passed similar legislation last December requiring the inclu-

sion of fentanyl testing strips in its Narcan kits. While not yet required in Nassau, Keisha Graham-Wilson, of the Hicksvillebased Central Nassau Guidance and

Counseling Services, said the agency has included fentanyl testing strips in its kits for the last several months. “These test strips are so important in terms of preventing overdoses,” GrahamWilson said. “We have individuals that have told us they are only using marijuana, but when we do toxicology, sometimes we have to tell them that the substance they are using is laced with fentanyl — and they are so shocked and surprised.” Other recovery advocates and community leaders expressed support for the proposal. “Providing these strips could be lifesaving,” said Claudia Rotondo, executive director of the Baldwin Council Against Drug Abuse. “It would give us the ability to test the remnants of the substance that was ingested to see if it was cut with fentanyl.” “The DEA warned several months ago that fentanyl was a driving force behind the majority of overdoses that have transpired in the last year,” said Dr. Sharon Harris, executive director of the Glen Cove-based Substance Abuse Free Environments. “This is an incredibly important piece of information that needs to be promoted to educate our youth and our families about what is going on.” The legislation is currently in committee, but could be part of the next available legislative agenda in mid-July. –Reine Bethany

HOME Of tHE WEEK

Q. We’re retired, and live part of the year in Florida and part in New York. Eventually we plan to sell. Recently we had our kitchen redone, and had to make changes to a closet to make more room. Twenty-plus years ago we took down a wall and enlarged the kitchen, and I’m hearing that it was supposed to have a permit. The contractor was a big outfit that has commercials on TV, and I’m sure they got us a permit for the work. I understand that it may come up when we sell. Is this true and how do we know if there was a permit? We looked everywhere, but can’t find one? What should we do?

Atlantic Beach

Bayfront Living At Its Finest

his home of the week is a beautifully renovated contemporary bayfront home featuring 6 large bedrooms and 4 full baths, situated on a double lot with an open floor plan. The kitchen boasts beautiful marble and imported tile. There is a large Trex deck off the master suite. This home has tons of closet space, including a cedar walk-in closet. There are custom wall to wall lighted dining room cabinets. A Trex deck and brick patio surrounds your own bayfront in-ground heated Gunite pool. You will enjoy a private dock on Reynolds Channel, with 2 boat slips and new navy bulkhead with custom hurricane-proof glass railings. There are waterfront views from every room. This is a designer home with tile and woodwork by European craftsmen, and only seconds to the ocean.

A. There is always the chance, especially in tighter economic times, that a lending bank inspector will be looking more carefully at what was done, in comparison with the original plans for the house. I often get desperate calls from people who’ve just been given two weeks to get a permit for something done many years ago. People generalonte eeper ly don’t understand how long each step in a legalization process takes. There is even the tease of an express permit by some building departments. I use the word tease because you and the architect are being set up for disappointment if the person reviewing the plans Tom Tripodi Tripodi | Shemtov Team finds one note they want added or a dimension, etc. Douglas Elliman Real I have been informed that when that happens, your Estate plans go into the pile with the rest of regular fil516-902-3497 ings and your express fee is history.

s a former elected official, I am frequently asked who has the toughest job in America. Most often, I answer either President Biden or New York City Mayor Eric Adams. But after watching three of the hearings of the Jan. 6 committee, I’ve decided that Attorney General Merrick Garland has the most difficult job in America. Over the next six to nine months, Garland must decide whether he will charge former President Donald Trump with a variety of election JERRY law criminal violations. No former KREMER president has ever faced criminal charges related to their actions while in office. President Nixon was close to being indicted for a variety of federal crimes in 1974, but that August he announced his resignation. There is no doubt that by the time the House Select Committee on the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol finishes its witness presentations, it may have enough criminal evidence to turn over to the attorney general, with a recommendation that he take formal action against

Trump. But charging a former president with a crime could further divide an already bitterly divided country, and might inflame the relative handful of crazies who are ardent Trump supporters. As the hearings come to a close, the media will focus on the fate of the former president, but there are many other people who may wind up in handcuffs in a federal courtroom. The logical targets could be the large group of people who claimed to be presidential electors for Trump in Arizona, Georgia and Michigan, states that Biden won in the 2020 election. Their fake certificates were even sent to the National Archives. The next potential defendants could be former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney John Eastman. Guliani and his team appeared in multiple courtrooms throughout the country, falsely arguing that the election had been stolen, but those arguments were hollow and failed in more than 60 cases. Eastman is alleged to have created the plot to overturn the counting of the ballots on Jan. 6, which he peddled to Trump on many occasions after the election. Eastman has since invoked the Fifth Amend-

ment more than 100 times. Are there others who could wind up wearing prison jumpsuits? During questioning at the fourth Jan. 6 committee hearing, the names of two Republican members of Congress surfaced. A staff member of Sen. Ron Johnson, of Wisconsin, and Rep. Andy Biggs, of Arizona, were alleged to have asked Vice President Mike Pence to accept a list of fake electors and reject legitimate electors. Both Johnson and Biggs could be charged with fraudulent efforts to overturn a legitimate election. They may be joined by at least six other House members, whose names will be made public in the coming weeks. Garland is wrestling with the right and wrong of charging a former president with federal crimes, along with the national implications of such a decision. But I would guess that if the tables were turned, and the election manipulation had been done by a former Democratic president, a Republican attorney general, such as William Barr, would please his client, the Republican president, by moving ahead with a criminal case. Is there another scenario that all of us may have overlooked?

ill Attorney General Garland charge a former president with federal crimes?

A federal grand jury has been impaneled in Fulton County, Georgia, and has heard testimony from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, whom Trump asked to “find 11,780 votes,” which would make Trump the winner in Georgia. The request by Trump could be found to be a criminal attempt to change the results of the election, and subject him to criminal charges. No matter what your political leanings are, the Jan. 6 investigation has unveiled cold, hard facts about how Trump conducted himself in the days and weeks after his loss in November 2020. While the vast majority of Americans were going about their business, a small group of attorneys and elected officials were working around the clock to burn the Constitution and turn this country over to a president who refused to accept his defeat. In the end, there may not be jail terms for anyone but the rioters at the Capitol, but it is impossible to whitewash history, no matter how hard the Republicans try. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Engaged! Finding love in the pandemic.

illybee and Don are tying the knot. In an unintended romantic consequence of the pandemic, my husband and Lillybee, daughter of Sinbad el Amante Suave and Ivy of Chickadee Cotons, are making it official. After nearly three years of relative isolation, with no doggie play dates and no dog park, they are inseparable. Their path forward: together. As the third leg of this domestic canine cluster, I will speak now in protest or be comRAnDi pelled to forever KREiss hold my peace (an unlikely scenario). For starters, Lillybee’s pedigree is much finer than my husband’s. She came from a dam and sire raised by boutique breeders in Oregon and Arizona. Don is from Brooklyn. His parentage goes back to various anonymous Hungarian horse traders who sailed to America in steerage. Lillybee flew first class from Arizona. And she can trace her heritage back to great-grandparents Fozzie T. Bear of Amanda Sue

Cotons and Yankee Doodle Dandelion of Windy Hills Cotons. Then there is the age disparity. Don is 76, and Lillybee is 35 in dog years. She weighs 13 pounds. He weighed that at birth. In the beginning we were the classic trio, older couple and new pup. Truthfully, we figured she would be our last pup, given the average human life span and the projected life span of a small dog. We hoped to pretty much finish up at the same time. Lillybee, like her cohorts, is a personality. She raises her nose in the air and tests the wind. She assesses which advantages she can push. She’s clever, that girl, and without ethics of any kind. I guess you could say she is purely transactional. Give her something and you get something. When my husband was working and I was at home doing the dog training, Lillybee learned to sit for a treat, lie down, come when called and go to her place on a mat in the corner of the kitchen while we ate our meals. She never “demand” barked, which is an obnoxious trait wherein a dog barks loudly and inces-

santly in your face for something — food or attention or a walk. Not acceptable! The idea is that after training for good behavior with tons of treats to sweeten the pot, the dog will adopt the good behavior even without a treat. It did not take long for us to realize that Lillybee does nothing for nothing. If you want her to sit and you aren’t prepared to offer her a sizable piece of dried sweet potato, you are barking up the wrong tree. Training her was exhausting. You could almost hear her thinking, “I don’t have to sit. But I’ll do it if you give me one of those compressed chicken weenies.” She was always an alpha dog, and she landed with us, a Triple A alpha couple. Still, her life in our home was rewarding and fun and fully inclusive of us as a trio. Then the pandemic hit, and we and she were completely isolated. Don and I spent many more hours at home. He retired. We didn’t travel much, and she had been accustomed to riding in airplanes zipped into a canvas bag under the seat. She was a get-up-and-go dog. At the beginning of the pandemic,

s the isolation deepened, the husband and the dog became inseparable.

there were rumors that dogs could carry the virus and advice not to let them into a sick room. We didn’t know how strict to be, so we just kept her inside with us, except for walks. There was a lot of togetherness; since we couldn’t see our grandkids, Lillybee was the main event. She began to “demand” bark. Don began to give her extra treats. Not just chicken weenies and dried sweet potato, but shreds of salmon at $18 a pound and the occasional peanut. I’m not saying he’s not a naturally lovable guy, but soon Lillybee would not leave his side. No going to her “place” during meals. He pulled out a chair for her at the table and she would gaze longingly into his eyes, clearly praying for him to drop a crumb. He started to think it was personal, not realizing that he’s only as good as his supply of dried liver. He decided to increase her stash of toys, even buying two stuffed duckies in case one of them got dirty. Then, I heard him call her “darling,” as in “Darling, want a belly rub?” That was when I realized this wasn’t just a fling. I heard they’re registered at Bloomingdales. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

The Declaration of Independence was first published on July 6, 1776, in a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Evening Post. We are proud to commemorate that high point in American journalism by reprinting that historic document.

hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world. e has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at

places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness of his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected, whereby the Legislative Powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws of Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary Powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislature. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their acts of pretended legislation: For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from Punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing taxes on us without our consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our Government: For suspending our own legislature, and declaring themselves invested with Power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.

He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy of the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free People. Nor have We been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends. e, therefore, the representatives of the United States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the Protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our Sacred Honor.

The Declaration was signed first by John Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, and then by 55 others representing the 13 original states.

oter fraud has been around since the creation of democracy, but that doesn’t make it right or mean we should allow it to continue or expand. Free and fair elections are the foundation of any free, self-governing country. Without them, you have nothing except the tyranny imposed by those who successfully manipulate the electoral process. The latest assault on our voting mechanisms has a long history. You could buy a vote with a round of drinks as practiced by the New York City DemoRONALD J. crats of Tammany of the 1880s. ROSENBERG Hall And voting from the grave? Louisiana’s governor of the 1930s, Huey Long, reportedly said, “When I die, I want to be buried in Louisiana, so I can stay active in politics.” Others have used a variety of frauds, including bribes, intimidation and poll taxes to redirect election outcomes. But in the 21st century, we are facing a far more insidious and systemic corruption of our balloting. Today, would-be electoral fraudsters want to entirely abolish the requirement of voting in person with identification, in favor of allowing voting

by mail or an absentee ballot merely for the asking. Requiring ID and other laws designed to ensure the integrity of elections do not suppress the vote, as President Biden and others have falsely asserted. Last month’s Georgia primary saw record turnout for early voting — nearly triple the level in 2018 level and 212 percent more than in 2020, a presidential election year. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill earlier this year that, dangerously, allows New Yorkers who are concerned about getting Covid to vote this year by absentee ballot. Some political pundits believe that, much like their clumsy and illegal gerrymander of election districts, this is one more instance of those on the left seeking to undermine the integrity of our elections so they can gain a political advantage at the expense of democracy. It’s not as if New York voters aren’t wise. They sent a loud and unequivocal message last November when they voted down a proposed constitutional amendment that would have allowed no-excuse absentee voting. As the political cycle heats up with a double-barreled primary calendar, it is important to understand that voting by mail and unlimited absentee voting is a

e are facing an insidious and systemic corruption of our balloting.

LEttERS Moved by tragedy to poetry

To prevent strife Promoting grief A task accomplished by the stroke of man Nestled pinnacle not giving a damn

To the Editor: My husband and I very much enjoy Randi Kreiss’s writing in the Herald. I am a 67-year-old semi-retired biomedical research immunologist who refuses to “retire.” I am no longer doing bench research, and am now involved in global health, community engagement — and creative writing. Some of my pieces have been featured in low-profile venues like medical school and community arts publications. Like so many others, I was devastated after the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. My emotions drove me to write this poem, which I entitled “Failure.”

Deceptively powering pro-life Children suffering the plight

FRANCES SANTIAGO-SCHWARz, Bayville Failure Failure to protect the sacred nest Squashing laughter with a single burst Cries of joy no longer physical Now deep in the soul, inextinguishable Remembering loss of one so beautiful A single burst multiplied by many From a haunted soul on the devil’s journey Failure to validate loss of life

serious threat that undermines confidence in the integrity of the outcome. “Ballot harvesting” has become a thing: Paid operatives are sent door to door, offering to transport individuals’ mail-in ballots to the Board of Elections. One suspects that these concerned defenders of democracy may well check your party affiliation before deciding whether the next stop is the ballot box or the dumpster. In California, no less, the practice was recognized as being so egregious to democracy that after it was made legal in 2016, it was subject to serious restrictions. California “has since made it illegal to get paid per ballot collected,” The Washington Post reported, “and for employers to ask employees to bring their ballots into their workplace.” Another dimension to ballot harvesting that harms the integrity of absentee voting is the ability of the paid operative to make a last-minute argument about why you should vote one way or another. This kind of pressure is why our polling places have restrictions on how close candidates can campaign. If our democracy is to stand the test of time, the Covid-imposed ability to vote remotely needs to be curtailed and

restricted to those who legitimately cannot make it to the polling place on Election Day. It isn’t too much of an ask for a concerned and engaged citizenry to find the will and the means to physically make it to the ballot box one day a year. Those who argue that these options increase participation in our election process will have to make a far more cogent case, because the jury is still out on that claim. An analysis by the Connecticut Mirror suggested that absentee voting has not brought a significant spike in participation. The Public Policy Institute of California reported a similar finding. So one can legitimately ask, what is the real reason to expand absentee and remote voting, who is pushing that agenda, and why? As we reflect on the priceless gift of democracy, we should consider who should be given the unchallenged right to offer absentee ballots. The immediate and obvious answer would be our fellow Americans in uniform, who are defending the nation. Those patriots earn the right to an absentee ballot with their blood and valor. What’s the left’s excuse? Ronald J. Rosenberg has been an attorney for 42 years, concentrating in commercial litigation and transactions, and real estate, municipal, zoning and land use law. He founded the Garden City law firm Rosenberg Calica & Birney in 1999.

A queen? No, but more British TV! To the Editor: My wife and I enjoyed Randi Kreiss’s column “Is our democracy becoming a royal pain?” (June 16-22). I don’t think we Americans necessarily need a king or queen, but everyone would benefit from more British television! We began subscribing to streaming Acorn and BritBox several months ago, and we watch the same mysteries Randi mentioned, plus some others. We currently alter nate between “Vera,” “A Touch of Frost,” “Midsomer Murders,” “Inspector Morse” and “Foyle’s War.” “Foyle’s War” is particularly interesting, as it introduces the viewer
