WANTAGH’S
Chabad leader remembered for his movement By JoRDAN VAlloNE jvallone@liherald.com
They gathered to commemorate what would have been an influential rebbe’s 120th birthday. Town of Hempstead officials and rabbis from across Nassau County got together at the Chabad Center for Jewish Life in Merrick last week to honor the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson. He was a leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement, becoming its seventh rebbe in 1951. Schneerson transformed the Chabad into one of the most widespread Jewish move-
ments, establishing a large network of institutions across the world to serve religious, social and humanitarian needs in the community. In fact, many of these Chabad centers can be found throughout Nassau. Schneerson died in 1994. He was 92. Hempstead town officials proclaimed April 12, the rebbe’s birthday this year on the Jewish calendar, as “Education and Sharing Day.” Officials were joined by several Chabad rabbis including Shimon Kramer of Merrick-BellmoreWantagh, Anchelle Perl of Mineola, Zalman Wolowick and Meir Geisinsky of the Five

EACH CHABAD IN the Town of Hempstead was given a commemorative sign. Chabad centers are known for their community outreach, and welcoming facilities, to people of all religions.

Congress has recognized Education and Sharing Day every year since 1978 to honor the late rebbe. Because the date
it falls can vary on the Gregorian calendar, it usually occurs between late March and late April. “The rebbe’s legacy — for anybody that is standing beside me — is tremendous,” Town Supervisor Don Clavin said. “At a time when we’re seeing people’s faith attacked for who they are — or just for being of the Jewish faith — it’s
important that we remember the rebbe’s teaching.” The Town of Hempstead has one of the largest Jewish populations in the United States, Clavin noted, comparable to the size of Jewish communities in New York City. “His work was essential to the expansion of the Chabad dy n a s t y t h ro u g h o u t t h e Continued on page 3
Wantagh, Seaford residents help combat hunger By MARIA CESTERo mcestero@liherald.com
Amid the grocery shortage scares of the coronavirus pandemic, Jill Schieber recalled buying lots of food in order to prepare for the worst. As a result, Schieber had to sporadically throw out the food she had bought because it had gone bad. Then she had an epiphany: She would stop wasting food, and instead help fellow Long Islanders. “I’ve always had a hard time throwing away food,” said Schieber, who lives in Plainview. A social worker, she said she knows all about families who are
struggling with food insecurity. “The people that go to food pantries, you never know who they are,” she said. “They’re everyday people.” In February, Schieber organized a Facebook group for community members in need and volunteers alike, to help them connect. After receiving many private messages, she posted to the group in need to enlist someone to help her in her service work. The group, “Neighbors Feeding Neighbors LI” is a network on which anyone can offer or ask for help. Schieber got the idea from her sister, who lives in Los Angeles and does similar work

Wantagh resident there. So far, the group has grown to about 85 volunteers across Long Island, 35 additional volunteers who are willing to deliver food to families struggling with food insecurity, and six homes made available as midway points, stocked with donated food. One is the Seaford home of Maureen Kass.
Kass also answered Schieber’s call for extra help managing the group. Kass helps her by coordinating the connection between volunteer helpers and families in need. Schieber explained that some of those in need are embarrassed to post publicly on the Facebook page, and instead directly message the administra-
tors. So far the group has helped over 30 families since February. “If I can do anything to help my fellow neighbor here on Long Island, I’m happy to do it,” said Kass. “When I see someone in need, I have to do something about it.” Kass said she has definitely noticed the growth of food inseContinued on page 9

Herald ScHoolS Wantagh High School Trivia Team Competes The Wantagh High School Trivia Team returned to in-person competition for this year after a two year hiatus due to the pandemic, testing their knowledge in academic subjects and popular culture. Consisting of seniors, the varsity team won three of its five matches in the competition season during the months of December to March. The Junior Varsity Team was not far behind as they garnered two wins for the season. The Varsity and Junior Varsity Squads were coached by retired Wantagh High School Social Studies teacher, Bill Bogatz. During matches, the matches consist of four buzzer rounds as topics range from history and science and even entertainment and sports. Four students compete at a time for a chance at victory. “I enjoy trivia and the academic aspect of it,” said first-year member of the team, and Wantagh High School freshman, Michael Muscarnera, “I like to be well read and apply my knowledge.”
Muscarnera said he enjoyed being a part of the team because it was a fulfilling way to be involved in student life at Wantagh High School and allowed him to meet other students. He added that he does not get upset if he doesn’t know the answer to a trivia question as he sees it as an opportunity to learn something new. Cole Belling, a first-time varsity squad member and senior at Wantagh High School, noted he believed the team had a strong dynamic. “Everyone was encouraging of each other and it was really fun to be a part of,” Belling said. “Being on the team tested a lot of the knowledge I’ve learned throughout high school and in my daily life.” Fellow varsity member Allison Frazer joined as a freshman, and was glad the team was back after a two-year absence because of the pandemic.Frazer said she enjoys the teamwork aspect of the trivia and helped bring new people to join the trivia team.

Mayhem looks forward to another hit season jvallone@liherald.com
Local travel baseball program Merrick Mayhem recently kicked off their season with some big wins at a season opener tournament, Levittown Spring Swing. The early wins this season follow Mayhem’s success last season — the organization as a whole notched more than 100 wins and five championships across four teams. Once a small organization, Mayhem has now expanded into a much larger program, with numerous baseball teams and one softball team. At the Levittown tournament, 7 of its teams across four age groups competed, finishing with 20 wins, 4 losses and 2 ties overall, according to one of Mayhem’s founders, Brian Mann. Mann created Mayhem in 2019 alongside Brendan Kalkau, Evan Tepper and Erik Bashian, after watching their sons play tee-ball and baseball together for years. The tournament attracted over 70 teams from across Long Island. Mayhem’s teams competed against some smaller town teams, as well as some larger, well known travel programs. While Mann said all of the teams entered performed extremely well, the 11-and-under team, managed by cofounder Kalkau, won their tourna-
ment in “convincing fashion” — coming out on top in all five games they played, and outscoring their opponents 62-12. Mann’s 10-and-under team also won their tournament, with an overall record of 4 wins and one loss. A 9-and-under team, managed by Paul Principato, and an 8-and-under team, managed by John McManus, also took the top spot in their tournaments. Mann added that each team is now looking forward to competing in league play through the leagues such as East Coast Youth Baseball and Hot Stove Long Island Baseball. Mayhem teams will participate in Memorial Day tournaments, as well as summer and fall games and tournaments. Proud to be partnered with Merrick Bellmore Little League, Mann said all of Mayhem’s players will participate in little league games as well. “Mayhem is a sponsor of the little league, and we always promote the importance of little league play in addition to travel baseball,” he said. Though softball games haven’t started games yet, overall, Mann said everyone involved in Mayhem is looking forward to another great season. For more on the organization, go to merrickmayhem.com, or the Mayhem Baseball Facebook page.

continued from front page curity in the area, especially with rising grocery prices. Some families she helps that were receiving federal assistance during the pandemic now no longer receive it, and they are unable to cover the rising cost of groceries. “My family has been extremely blessed,” said Kass. “Some families, we can absorb it, but others are having a harder time.” Kass renovated her recently married daughter’s room in her house to use as storage for the donations. Volunteer drivers can pick up items they need there. Schieber’s goal is to have enough “storage spots” to keep drives to those in need to a maximum of 20 to 30 minutes. Wantagh resident Lisa Garcia stepped up to help as well. Contacted by Kass, her longtime friend, Garcia was more than willing to become involved in the effort. “I feel fortunate, and I felt like I could do something to help,” Garcia said. “I know the pandemic hit some people hard, and with food prices rising at the stores, I just felt like I could help.” Garcia helps Kass with grocery shopping, buying items needed to complete the list of donations struggling families need. She has been doing so for six weeks. Anyone on Long Island can offer to help or ask for help from the group, whether it be for a single meal or a week’s worth of groceries for a family. The volunteers also assemble food packages with non-perishables for families to help them “make it through the weekend.”

A year removed from reaching the county finals amid a grueling regular-season schedule, MacArthur softball is looking to reach the big stage once again under similar conditions. The Generals competed against larger schools in an ability-based schedule with a 4-10 Conference I record before catching fire in the playoffs against its Class A competition before falling to Mepham in the championship series. The same format is in play this spring with a more experienced team that grew from last year’s challenges, which included a sevengame losing streak to end the regular season. “They are battle-tested every game,” said 22nd-year MacArthur head coach Bobby Fehrenbach of competing against Class AA schools like Massapequa, Plainview-Old Bethpage JFK and Oceanside. “There are no layups on the schedule.” Senior Jess Mauro is off to a solid start in her final high school season tossing a two-hitter in MacArthur’s 7-3 win against Oceanside on April 7 and had two hits in a 14-2 win versus East Meadow on April 1. Mauro had a big freshman campaign in 2019 before the 2020 season was wiped out due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Fehrenbach said she is starting to find her” groove” again this spring. Taylor Brunn is also a key part of the pitching staff and in the lineup. The versatile junior recorded 95 strikeouts as a sophomore and hit .344. “I have a pretty good problem there,” said Fehrenbach of having two very capable pitchers to turn to. “Both are stepping up.” Third baseman Chiara Nappo entered her senior year off a red-hot junior season where she batted .393 to earn All-County honors. Junior second baseman Hailey Feiler, who hit two RBIs in the Oceanside win, provides another strong infield bat. Freshman Presley Borne jump-starts the MacArthur offense as the leadoff hitter after first earning the role as an eighth grader. She registered two hits and knocked in two runs during the East

Junior shortstop Colette O’Brien, who had four RBIs in an 11-6 win at Calhoun on March 31, adds to the team’s deep lineup. Freshman Hailey Trapani has stepped up in the designated hitter role and produced three hits in the Calhoun triumph. “We’ve been doing a really good job of hitting the ball so far,” Fehrenbach said. “We are getting productive at bats.” MacArthur is next in action for a road game at defending Class AA champion Massapequa Wednesday evening at Berner Middle School for a 5 p.m. first pitch.
The Generals will then play a four game homestand next week against Long Beach Monday, Carey on Wednesday, Mepham Thursday and versus Catholic power Sacred Heart Saturday, all starting at 10 a.m. Fehrenbach hopes the challenging schedule prepares MacArthur for the upcoming Class A playoffs where Mepham, Division, Carey, Seaford and Plainedge are all expected to vie for a championship. The Generals have reached the county finals four times in the last six seasons and last captured a title in 2017.

Choice awards celebrate those who ‘power’ community By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com
After months of waiting, winner after winner stepped up to receive their firstever Herald Long Island Choice award during a gala event with Oscars-like proportions, but without any of the unnecessary drama. The first-ever event — hosted by RichnerLive, presented by PSEG Long Island, and sponsored by TenantBase — took place April 5 at Heritage Club in Bethpage. Voting had been underway since last July where readers and customers shared who they believed were Long Island’s best businesses in more than 260 categories covering everything from breweries to motorcycle dealers to chiropractor. More than 100,000 votes were cast over five months, and both the top three finalists and the eventual winners were recognized at last week’s awards event. Instead of leaving these decisions by a faceless group of judges, these awards are determined by the very people who make these businesses thrive — the customers. That, at least, is according to Amy Amato, corporate relations and events executive director at RichnerLive. Herald Long Island Choice Awards is a way to show businesses how much their work is appreciated. “We decided to do it because we understand the challenges that small businesses

Plus, the cheese is great.” Each table featured an ice sculpture centerpiece celebrating the event, while on the main stage, an acrobat contorted herself in fantastical ways. Stuart Richner, chief executive of Richner Communications Inc., commented on how important local businesses contribution is to Long Island, and how happy he was to get the chance to celebrate them. “It is the people in this room that are the economic engines of our communi-

In a marathon performance, Park read off the winners of the 266 categories in rapid fire. In the ensuing hour, business after business was named winner in a whirlwind of emotional highs. Some were so excited, they jumped up on chairs and tables in celebration. Others chose to celebrate with screams and applause.

Peggy Keane, PSEG’s interim president and chief operating officer, said she was pleased to partner with Herald Community Newspapers to celebrate businesses across Long Island. “This event recognizes all types of businesses that are dedicated to their communities,” she added, in a statement. Those were sentiments also shared by Bennett Washabaugh, chief executive and co-founder of TenantBase. “It was fantastic to see so many small businesses getting out, and the people that power our community,” he said. “It’s just amazing.”

Flood insurance rates could be increasing By JORDAN VALLONE
is the risk of flooding increasing?
jvallone@liherald.com
Households in Wantagh and Seaford could see increased flood insurance premiums on policies that renew after April 1, due to the National Flood Insurance Program’s new system for setting prices. The new rating methodology, called Risk Rating 2.0: Equity in Action, ensures “flood insurance rates are actuarily sound, equitable, easier to understand and better reflect an individual property’s flood risk,” according to a release from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For new policies, this rating system has already been used since last Oct. 1. Risk Rating 2.0 compares rate changes with the legacy rating system that has been in place since the 1970s. “The comparison data debunks a huge myth held by many critics of the new methodology that under the old system, flood insurance rates were not subject to regular annual increases,” David Maurstad, senior executive of the National Flood Insurance Program, said in a FEMA news release. “The truth is rates have gone up every year for all policyholders and will continue to do so if no action is taken. “The side-by-side comparisons show some policyholders now will experience decreases under year one of Risk Rating 2.0,” Maurstad added of the change, “while a majority of remaining policyholders will see premium increases mostly on par with what they already pay.”
The risk of flooding is on the rise in Wantagh and Seaford, at rates faster than the national average. The numbers of homes currently deemed at risk, according to Redfin Real Estate Brokerage: Wantagh: 1,424 seaford: 2,401 The projected numbers of homes deemed at risk in 30 years, according to Redfin: Wantagh: 2,254 seaford: 3,259 –Jordan Vallone Courtesy Harry Loud
ThE AREA’s VuLNERABiLiTy to flooding was evident in 2014 — Wantagh Parkway was submerged in water, following a heavy rainstorm. FEMA said that the new methodology takes into account the cost of rebuilding, which ensures “equitable” rates for all policyholders. According to Redfin, a real estate brokerage that details market trends, approximately 1,401 homes in Wantagh and 2,254 homes in Seaford are at risk of flooding. Eleven percent of those homes in Want-

agh, and 33 percent in Seaford, are required by their mortgage companies to have flood insurance policies. Premiums can cost anywhere from $225 to just under $2,500 per month. High Risk areas for flooding, as defined by FEMA, are areas with a 1 percent annual chance of flooding and a 26 percent chance over the course of a 30-year mortgage. In Wantagh and Seaford, the base floodplain, where flood elevations are provided, is also considered when determining risk. On FEMA’s website, a flood insurance rate map can help determine risk by location. At Mike Walsh’s State Farm Insurance office in Bellmore, Chris Bauer, the agency’s flood specialist, showed the Herald how FEMA’s mapping system works. Entering an address into the mapping service, FEMA takes into account factors including distance from the shoreline and elevation to determine the risk. Maps are drawn based on where there were losses and damage due to floods. Insurance companies cannot write National Flood Insurance policies — they must be written through FEMA. An agency’s licensing can, however, allow employees to write policies for FEMA, using the
mapping system as a tool to determine risk. Along Wantagh and Seaford’s coastline, where there are inlets and canals, many new residents who buy homes may not realize they are at risk of flooding. FEMA flood insurance policies require the first year’s premium be paid in full. After that, Bauer explained, customers can opt to have flood and home insurance monthly premiums built into a mortgage payment. According to FEMA, there are some things that will not change with Risk Rating 2.0, such as limiting annual premium increases — most rates cannot increase more than 18 percent year to year. Additionally, flood insurance rate maps will still be used. Risk Rating 2.0 State Profiles can be found on FEMA’s website, fema.gov, along with additional information on the new system. Downloadable Excel spreadsheets break states down by ZIP codes, so homeowners can see what to expect. Some policies in Wantagh and Seaford will see significant premium decreases. According to FEMA, current and potential National Flood Insurance policyholders should contact their insurance company or agency to learn about their specific rates, and whether the changes will affect their policies.

ples or religious beliefs of the Egyptians. Moreover, another legend asserts that the Israelites had to actively involve themselves in their own liberation. For example, although Moses raised his staff over the Red Sea, the Sea refused to split until one of the Israelites “took the plunge”, made a “leap of faith”, and jumped into the Sea; only then did the Red Sea divide so that the Israelites were able to transverse it in safety. Perhaps there is a lesson here for us and for our world: If we want to repel repression and aggression, we must, first, remain loyal to our traditional moral and ethical values; we must not imitate the oppressors and their evilfilled ways. We must not stoop to their level, but, rather, live honest and righteous lives. Second, we must be willing to act in defense of freedom and liberty; we must not let our guard down when it comes to safeguarding the principles of democracy. We must remain strong. And, of course, we must pray that God, the Ultimate Redeemer, will grant our leaders and each of us the wisdom, strength, and ability to confront the evil in this world. With God’s help, may we witness the downfall of modern-day pharaohs and the liberation of all! Happy Passover!

Children without labels
I My Community
The language used to describe children who don’t do well in school has taken a dramatic turn from yesteryear– in many ways for the better, in some ways not so much better. In yesteryear, kids who did poorly in school or didn’t behave well were labeled as no-good, lazy, smartass, defiant, daydreamer, or just plain dumb. Punishment consisted of hitting, yelling, shaming, blaming, lecturing or writing them off. Kids were repeatedly told that they were bad, stupid, would never amount to anything or would end up in jail. I’m thankful that for the most part, we’ve eliminated this verbal abuse. But how much progress have we made when we replace old labels with psychiatric diagnoses that call children disordered, deficient and disabled? Lest we forget:

■ Needs more time to “get it” I’d prefer to imagine a kid as a budding Robin Williams with his own unique personality, rather than a kid with a deficit, a disorder, a brain abnormality or a need for medication. I don’t want to rule out the possibility that labels may aid in understanding a problem or discovering an appropriate course of action, but the danger is that a child becomes his diagnosis. Too often Jason becomes an ADD kid, not a kid with ADD. Don’t think that little twist makes a difference? Think again. Make it personal. Would you want to be described as an orderly deficient person or as one who has trouble with organizational skills? An attention deficit adult or as one who finds it tough to stay on task? To label kids with psychiatric diagnoses should be our last resort - especially if that diagnosis leads to dependence on psychiatric drugs as the primary choice of treatment. Too often pill popping has apadin become the way to go to solve many a problem. Yet pill popping may be the easy choice, not the wise choice. Alternative ways to help kids control their impulses are slower and more complex. They may require modifications in school routines, teachers’ expectations, parenting styles, learning environments, diet, activities and more. Creative solutions require an appreciation of strengths and weaknesses as well as patience to allow a child to progress at his or her own pace.

Q. We just bought a house, and want to make a lot of small changes, like taking down the wall between the little kitchen and the dining area to put in an island, and making two bedrooms on the second floor. The house is one story but has room in the attic to make the bedrooms. Do we need to have drawings made to get a contractor? Some we spoke to said no. Do we need a permit if it’s all minor work? Again, some contractors told us we don’t need one, and one said he wouldn’t do the work without one. I’m a developer in the city, but Long Island is so different. In the city, the architect self-certifies the drawings, and a couple of days after the contractor files the job, we have a permit. I’m being told that it can take weeks for our new house to pull a permit, and there is no self-certifying. Is that true?

A. There are regulations for the bedroom ceiling height and insulation you must follow, or you will someday be like the several retirees I have dealt with who discovered the expensive truth: Their second-floor bedrooms fail the code requirements of an average ceiling height of 7 feet. New York state building code, which every community, includonte eeper ing New York City, follows (New York City has added restrictions), requires that the minimum height is 5 feet, and the average height is 7 feet. If you take the space width, only from the 5-foot height location and the height at the center, you can calculate average height. I present a cross-section diagram to demonstrate compliance. Many older sellers trying to move to lower-taxed homes discover that they need to do up to $35,000 in alterations to raise roofs and add legal windows for light, ventilation and fire escape requirements as well. A few gave up, passing the problem and a price reduction on to their buyer, causing frustration. You absolutely need permits for the “small” changes, which will end up not being so small when you realize that the wrong beams may be installed by an unqualified person who can tell you they do the same thing “all the time,” without correctly calculated and drawn plans. Most beams they install work for carrying the floor load upstairs, but don’t take into consideration the other factors, such as snow, wind and uplift loads transferred from the roof a story above. All too often I see sagging, barely detectable, wrong-sized beams when I’m meeting with potential clients. Unless there is work to be done in the area of that beam or it looks extremely undersized, I generally remain silent, because most people don’t want to hear about it, never noticed it and really do believe that any old beam will do the job, and the person with power tools knew what they were doing. Only when ceiling cracking appears do they notice. Good luck!

ussia’s brutal attack on Ukraine is being felt around the world — and now, even above it. Russia’s top space official, Dmitry Rogozin, has tweeted that the sanctions imposed on his country by the U.S and Europe are “unacceptable.” He said that cooperation with the U.S. and it allies on the International Space Station may no longer be possible. Rogozin added that the sanctions are intended “to kill the Russian economy, plunge JAmES our people into and bring BERNStEIN despair our country to its knees.” Normal relations with the U.S. and Europe, he said, would only be possible with the lifting of the “illegal” sanctions — something that is highly unlikely to happen in the near future. Rogozin, space experts have said, has a habit of popping off. But Andrew Parton, president of the Cradle of Aviation Museum in Garden City, said that the notion of Americans, Europeans and Russians working together in space — which they were doing only a few weeks ago — now “seems awkward.”
I
“We’re almost at war with them,” Parton said. The Russians were pioneer partners, along with the U.S., the Europeans Space Agency, Canada and Japan, in building the ISS, the largest man-made structure ever constructed and put into space. It had to be assembled in parts, which took place between 1998 and 2000. The first section of the structure was launched in November 1998, aboard a Russian Proton rocket from the Baikonur Cosmodome. The ISS has been circling the Earth for so long now — it became fully operational in May 2009 with a six-member crew that required two Russian Soyuz “lifeboats” to be docked there at all times — that many Earthlings have pretty much forgotten about it, or don’t think of it much. But it remains a phenomenal vehicle, traveling an eye-popping 17,500 mph at an altitude of some 248 miles above Earth. Many have argued that the many billions of dollars spent on the ISS could have been better used on Earth. Others say that man was born to explore, and who knows what we’ll find out there one day? And the ISS has proved valuable. To name a few of its contributions:
t
■ The ability to view Earth from different perspectives has given scientists a better way to find new sources of water and places to grow food. ■ Protein crystal growth experiments done aboard the station have given medical science better understanding of diseases such as cancer and muscular dystrophy.
he biggest loss is that yet another tie between major world powers will have been severed.
■ A s t r o n a u t s h ave learned to work in a microg r av i t y e nv i r o n m e n t . Human bodies chang e under such circumstances, and we are now better able to understand how to cope with the challenges we will face as we further explore the cosmos.
■ And students the world over have been given a view of life in space and the possibilities of a world outside our own. But what if Russia quits? The ISS could survive. Just last week, SpaceX, a private company, launched a NASA astronaut and three paying customers to the ISS. Since NASA’s space shuttle program ended in 2011, the agency has relied on Russian Soyuz spacecraft to take our astronauts to the station. But with commercial space companies revving up, we may be able to elimi-
nate our dependence on the Russians to get us up there. Russians help guide the ISS, and use their country’s space vehicles to boost the station to its target orbit when it tends to drift lower. These tasks can be taken over, but it will take effort by the rest of the ISS team, and more funding. The bigger loss, of course, is that yet another tie between major world powers will have been severed. Russian and U.S. diplomats around the world have already been called home. To be sure, Russia must be punished, and punished severely, for its actions in Ukraine. But astronauts and cosmonauts are scientists, and have held themselves above the fray of politics and fraught relationships between their countries. They were able to do so on the most recent return to Earth, in March. Astronaut Mark Vande Hei worried that he might be left behind because of U.S-Russia tensions, after spending 355 days in space. But the Russians ferried him home safely. Joe Montalbano, NASA’s program manager for the ISS, said that those aboard the station last month were “aware of what’s going on, but they still worked as a team.” The question is, how long can we remain teammates?

Family stories help the healing
f you don’t have a sister, I urge you to get one, preferably a younger one, so you can boss her around. But in a pinch, any age will do, and life is all about pinches. My husband recently had surgery to replace a pacemaker, an easy, relatively pain-free event, unless it’s your pacemaker, and your body being altered. My guy is stoic, but he came out of surgery with a corneal abrasion, which was inexplicable on many levels, since the procedure was for his heart. The pain RANDI was extreme and, KREISS although I’m good in a crisis, I found his distress and my helplessness terribly unsettling. Lots of people offered to help in any way they could. The calls and notes and get-well gifts all lifted us up. But only my sister called and said she was on her way. She had booked her flight, she was coming for five days, and that was that. She isn’t the take-over type; that’s my job as the older sister. Once she got here, I still cooked for the three of us and
walked the dog and fetched the meds for the patient. Really, she didn’t do much, unless you count saving my sanity. We discussed important world events, like our hair, and exchanged meaningful gifts: I gave her my Dry Bar brush and she gave me her hot rollers. Like most sibs our age, we’re the only people on Earth who shared childhood with the same parents. Ours died in old age, at 95 and 97, so until the last few years, we took care of them together. This shared experience doesn’t imply shared memories, because we have wildly different accounts of our childhood in Cedarhurst with Mom and Dad. What we do when we’re together is mostly nothing, aside from talking or sharing companionable silence while we read or do stuff on our devices. She paints. I write. We agree on most things in the world except her dog, Moe, a.k.a. Cujo, who is the love of her life, and the only Chihuahua who could take down a cheetah. We tell stories when we sit around, share the news of our kids and grandkids, and realize that memory is unreliable but that it doesn’t matter. The stories
I
we tell weave the cloth that holds us together. I remember the Thanksgiving her 3-year-old daughter decided she hated the tiny bows on her pink velvet pants and jacket. My brother-in-law, who died many years ago, called a timeout, got a scissors and snipped off every one of the dozens of tiny bows. My sister doesn’t remember this at all. I thought it was a remarkable demonstration of parental forbearance. She also doesn’t remember that our mother assigned me to walk her to her kindergarten when I was in third grade. Every single awful day, my sister would throw herself on the ground, grab my feet and beg me not to leave her there. It didn’t take more than seven or eight years of therapy to deal with that. One story we both remember was our mother’s “talk” with us about sex. She told us an elaborate story about what the male chicken does with the female chicken. When I offered intelligent feedback, starting with, “So you mean when you wanted to make a baby, Dad and you…?” “No!” she screamed. “That’s just with
love kale, but my sister says she would rather chew on her lawn.
chickens.” My sister and I tend to like the same things: We are political allies, and support folks who are trying to keep our democracy from running aground. Of course, there are exceptions to our harmony. I love kale, and she says she would rather chew on her lawn. I suspect she eats pot pie, which to me is dead chicken in a watery grave. She asked me if I remembered the time I was being bullied in sixth grade. I walked her to school and told her I would kiss her goodbye before we got to school so the other kids wouldn’t see. She remembered that I didn’t skip the kiss. I don’t remember that, but I do remember that when I was making out with my boyfriend (now my husband), in the family den back in high school, she would come clomping down the stairs in her rollers and slippers and would accept a quarter to clomp back up. She says she wouldn’t have scrammed for less than 50 cents. So, you see, while my husband healed, my sister and I passed the time with stories. She didn’t do much, unless you count just showing up. Which was everything. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

free and diverse press is the backbone of a healthy and vibrant democracy. Yet social media and search engine giants like Facebook and Google are taking content from local newspapers — like this one — with little, if any, benefit to those newspapers. But it is readers who are truly harmed by Big Tech’s content-filtering and datacollection motives, which ultimately reduce the output of quality journalism. All of it is simply unfair — to readers, and especially to the newspapers who serve them. Congress must take action to fix this by approving an equitable revenue model similar to what the music industry fought hard for — one that pays royalties to content owners, which ensures that more of that content can be produced in the future. Let’s not forget the important tenets of local newspapers: ■ Quality journalism is key to sustaining civic society, and we must ensure that those who create journalistic content are compensated for their work. ■ With freedom of the press enshrined in the Constitution, it is imperative to take reasonable and meaningful steps to protect this important institution. ■ Local journalism strengthens communal ties, and provides communities with critical information. ■ The public rightfully trusts its local newspapers. One recent survey showed that nearly 75 percent of Americans have confidence in their local newspaper, compared with just over half for national net-
work and cable news. Just 17 percent trusted social media. A bipartisan bill known as the Journalism Competition & Preservation Act is making its way through Congress. It’s sponsored by Senators Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota, and John Kennedy, a Republican from Louisiana, as well as two congressmen from both sides of the aisle, David Cicilline of Rhode Island and Ken Buck of Colorado. The bill would enable news publishers to collectively negotiate with Big Tech, driving billions of dollars of subscription and ad dollars back to the publishers who produce good journalism in the first place. It would include an enforcement mechanism to ensure that negotiations result in payments, that such payments be evenly distributed to small local papers, and that payments reflect investments in reporters and newsrooms. It would allow market forces — not just two companies or even the government — to determine how, and for what price, news content is offered. American news publications reach more than 135 million people each week. Yet the revenue of these publications has dropped by more than 50 percent in recent years, fueled by mass — and often involuntary — distribution over dominant digital platforms like Facebook and Google. Social media might claim that the redistribution of content actually helps newspapers expand their audiences. But in reality, newspapers provide must-have content for these tech platforms that help them capture visitors. Publishers deserve fair compensation for the value of that content, and it’s just not happening from this so-called audience expansion.

letters Sharing age and perspective To the Editor: Randi Kreiss’s column “Where am I at 75? Reflections from the Edge” resonated with me. I, too, am 75 and can’t believe that number. I stopped working in December 2013, and in January 2014 I launched into the next phase of my life — I went back to school. I enrolled at Nassau Community College for what was supposed to be no more than a four-year stint, planning to take one course per semester. I had the time, and wanted to enjoy the classes, unlike my undergrad and graduate days. Due to a few hiccups along the way — my husband’s back operations, my lymphoma, selling our house and moving during the pandemic — four years turned into 8½. I kept going back, learning computer programs that really challenged me, especially the courses I survived last year in which I created my own portfolio website
Individual news publishers cannot challenge the basic terms offered by Big Tech because these platforms are too big, and smaller newspapers can’t even get a seat at the table. Because of that, Big Tech can grab as much as 70 percent of every ad dollar from news publishers while hiring zero reporters. Newspapers bear all the expense, while social media giants get all the benefit. Facebook and Google exert their dominance over the digital marketplace by setting the rules for news publishers and determining how their work is displayed, prioritized and monetized. More than 65 percent of users don’t even click the links offered by Google that would take them to the outlets that are spending the money to create the content they’re reading. One study showed that 57 percent of New York residents get their news from Facebook. Nearly half use Google as their primary source of news. If Washington doesn’t intervene soon, we will continue to lose hundreds of newspapers — like this one — across the country, and right here in your hometowns. But Congress needs to know it has your support in order to act. Reach out to U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer at (212) 486-4430, or U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand at (212) 688-6262. Call U.S. Rep. Kathleen Rice at (516) 739-3008, U.S. Rep. Tom Suozzi at (631) 923-4100, or U.S. Rep. Andrew Garbarino at (516) 541-6602. Our democracy depends on local media like the newspaper you hold in your hands. The idea is so important that it’s part of the First Amendment, enshrined in the Bill of Rights. But local media also depends on you.

ecently I joined the Nassau County Legislature’s majority caucus, numerous veterans groups and County Executive Bruce Blakeman to announce the creation of a program using American Rescue and Recovery Act funds to provide grants of up to $10,000 to every eligible veterans hall in the county. At the height of the pandemic, many Veterans of Foreign Wars posts and American Legions were facing major difficulties paying rent, property taxes and mainteBiLL nance on their venues. Veterans GayLoR halls were forced by lockdowns to cancel catered events and other functions, and that took away necessary income these halls need to survive. At the time, veterans groups weren’t eligible for ARPA funds under guidance issued by the federal government. After advocating for making those organizations eligible for that federal assistance, we received notification earli-
er this year from the U.S. Treasury Department that ARPA guidelines were being expanded to encompass 501(c)(19) entities, which includes veterans facilities. The new rule took effect on April 1. Veterans and fraternal halls are part of the very fabric of our community, and there are approximately 100 of them in Nassau County. As a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who will always be a strong supporter of the brave men and women who have admirably served this county, I know firsthand the important role these facilities serve. With all that veterans have done and are continuing to do for our nation and communities, there never should have been a question of eligibility. I am pleased to know that our efforts proved successful, and that this program will help these veterans groups as part of their ongoing recovery from the pandemic. I also wanted to mention a couple of other matters of significance. First, residents are reminded that the property tax grievance filing deadline that was extended by the County Legislature to give peo-

LetteRs — I learned to code! It’s been an amazing and rewarding journey, which I completed despite the comments from friends and family: “What do you need this for?” “Are you going to get a job?” (No.) “Why are you making yourself crazy?” I learned that I could access parts of my brain that I didn’t know existed. I learned that I really am an artist — what a relief to finally own this part of myself. I did have people on my side — a very supportive husband and the professors who took me seriously at Nassau. Our two kids are doing well, and our grandkids are getting poised to launch. And yes, we, too, are “drifting to the wings of the family stage.” Despite that, or because of it, I’ve decided to “walk” at NCC’s graduation in May. My two grandsons said they would come. Thanks, Randi, for the years of introspective columns, many of which resonated with this 75-year-old. BARBARA KAPLAN Rockville Centre
We're in a good place To the Editor: Randi Kreiss’s column spoke to me so completely. At 73 years old, I have become very content with who I am. I’m more reflective and understanding. Simple pleasures satisfy me. And most important, I’m in the present. Thanks, Randi, for articulating what
ple more time to challenge their assessments will expire on May 2. I’ve posted a video on my website on how to file a grievance. You can visit www.nassaucountyny.gov/ld6 and watch it by clicking the link to the video. Remember, you don’t need to pay a law firm or agency to file a tax grievance. To get information on your specific property, go to https://lrv.nassaucountyny. gov. Forms and applications can also be found at www. nassaucountyny.gov/agencies/ARC/forms.html. Second, earlier this month, the Legislature’s majority caucus and the Town of Oyster Bay initiated a collection drive to assist the people of Ukraine, and opened drop-off locations at various county and town facilities. Recently I helped load the last boxes filled with donations from generous residents to be shipped overseas. Overall, more than 45,000 pounds of much-needed supplies, including medical items and personal hygiene products, were sent to the Port of New York and New Jersey, where they will be shipped to Poland and ultimately distributed to
Ukrainian refugees. Finally, the State Legislature is considering legislation that would give the state control of the Nassau University Medical Center, and ultimately lead to partial or complete closure of the facility. NUMC is the only county-owned hospital in Nassau County, and has the only state-of-the-art burn center for miles around, as well as one of the best trauma centers on Long Island. The hospital serves not just residents of the East Meadow area, but also many from across the county who are under-insured, as well as students from the local colleges and many members of nearby minority communities. This effort is nothing more than a political move by Albany that would hurt Nassau County. NUMC should be run by county residents, for county residents. It should not be a pawn in a political tug of war, and I will continue to fight to ensure that the hospital remains under the county’s control, and not bureaucrats in Albany. Bill Gaylor is a Nassau County legislator representing the 6th District, which comprises Malverne, Lynbrook, North Lynbrook, Valley Stream, North Valley Stream and portions of Franklin Square, Hewlett, Rockville Centre and Woodmere.

it feels like to be a 70-something woman. Aren’t we lucky to be in the moment, appreciating our past and looking forward to our future? JOANNE SICA North Merrick
They'll all wear No. 42 To the Editor: Friday marks the 75th anniversary of Jackie Robinson playing his first major league baseball game for the Brooklyn Dodgers. It was a milestone for integrating the sport. It was a time when working- and middle-class men and woman of all ages, classes, races and religions commingled, rooting for Robinson and his teammates regardless of ethnic origin. Brooklynites could ride the bus, trolley or subway to Ebbets Field to see their beloved Dodgers. Everyone could afford a bleacher or general admission seat. Hot dogs, beer and souvenirs were reasonably priced. Just as Jackie Robinson fought racism in the 1950s, the Detroit Tigers’ Hank Greenberg had to do the same with antisemitism in his time. Robinson and Greenberg both document the long-lasting relationship between African-Americans and Jewish sports fans standing together for decades in support of one another. LARRY PENNER Great Neck
