Lynbrook 12-year-old donates to Baldwin kosher pantry By BRiDgEt DowNEs bdownes@liherald.com
When 12-year-old Kaden Rogers saw that the Covid-19 pandemic left some local families hungry and in need of household supplies, he collected donations to benefit them as part of his mitzvah project, a community-service deed in preparation for his bar mitzvah. K a d e n , o f Ly n b ro o k , planned to bring the donations to the Hatzilu Rescue
organization, a nonprofit that maintains a large kosher food pantry at the South Baldwin Jewish Center. Hatzilu volunteers deliver food and supplies to residents’ homes. Kaden and his parents organized a drive-by collection that lasted two hours on Jan. 10, at which family members, friends and neighbors donated cleaning supplies, paper goods and other household items. He created a flier explaining his goal, posted it on
social media and contacted his friends to spread the word. “People contributed, actually, all week,” his mother, Alison Rogers, said. “The neighborhood was very generous. Once people saw pictures of Kaden and what he had collected on Facebook, more people wanted to donate.” By the end of the week, Kaden and his parents loaded two pickup trucks and another car’s trunk with donations and headed to the South BaldContinued on page 4

Continued from front page motor skills room; the Iota Theta Zeta chapter of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, an art and music room; the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees, a technology and innovation room; and STRONG Youth, an organization focusing on gang violence prevention, an education room. The Blacklist Literary Room will support reading exercises. Sponsoring a room means that the organization or business provides the paint, materials and people power needed to enhance the room, and it pledges to do so in an energy-efficient manner that also supports students’ social-emotional learning. In return, sponsors’ names will be featured on plaques in their respective rooms, as well as on social media posts, and sponsors will be offered free use of their spaces for meetings three times a year. They will also be able to use the original 3D’s location for events once it is safe to do so. “By offering partnerships, we are allowing other community organizations to highlight their organizations and teach our children about culture,” Williams explained. The Blacklist Literary Room, for example, will work to highlight authors of all backgrounds, while the STRONG Youth room will educate students about history and social justice. Kolstein Music, another Baldwin staple, will provide instruments for the art and music room. “Being that Zoe is a part of our sorority — she’s our sorority sister — we wanted to show her support and also the community of Baldwin,” said Sharmaine Bisnauth, president of Iota Theta Zeta, which has served Nassau County for 42 years. “We just wanted to assist in any way that we can, because we know Zoe will do wonderful and great things for the children of Baldwin, because that’s what she’s been doing, and will continue to do.” But moving was not originally in Williams’s plans. Baldwinite Erik Mahler, owner of Mahler Realty, informed Williams about the availability of the space, underneath the First Church Baldwin United Methodist Church, where Mahler serves as a church board trustee. “I was quite comfortable in our space,” Williams said, “although we were busting at the seams . . . I never even saw it coming.” “First Church United Methodist always gives back to the community wherever possible,” Mahler said, “and we are extremely excited for the expansion of 3D’s, who is an integral part of the Baldwin community as well.” Because space was limited in the original location, Williams said she had to turn down parents who had asked to bring their children to the center. But she plans to begin accepting more students in the summer. She thanked Mahler for what she described as a miracle, adding that, at first, she didn’t think it was feasible to expand because she didn’t have sufficient funds to do so. Williams, a longtime social worker,

The partnerships with the organizations also helped Williams and her staff by cutting painting costs, helping to ease the financial burden of the expansion. And while most of her staff members are Baldwinites, she will seek to hire employees from around the Town of Hempstead in the coming months. Additionally, while 3D’s is not affiliated with the church, Williams plans to fix some of the building’s windows and replace the lighting with energy-efficient fixtures to help save some money. And Sweet and Savory Café in Baldwin will cater 3D’s meals. “It’s a win-win for the entire community,” Williams said.

Service project benefits local pantry Kaden’s bar mitzvah took place in Lynbrook on Jan. 16. The Hatzilu food warehouse, dedicated to Al Nevins, former Hatzilu president, stocks an assortment of non-perishable food and has a large commercial refrigerator and freezer, allowing for the collection and distribution of perishable and non-perishable food items. Volunteers with the organization also choose foods based on each client’s needs, whether they are gluten-free, diabeticfriendly or low-sodium items. Kaden “brought us items that we cannot get from any other source,” said Dona Schwab, who runs the pantry. “They are supplies that our clients desperately need. Our volunteer deliverers have been bringing them to clients throughout Nassau County. They include sanitizing wipes — so important at this time. We even got toilet paper.” Schwab added that Hatzilu provides food and resources to families regardless of race or religion. The organization regularly receives pallets of food from Long Island Cares, in addition to other sources throughout the year, including Island Harvest, Tikkun Alliance’s “Pack it up for Purim” food drive, High Holidays food drives from Nassau County synagogues, the Shomrim Society Passover food drive and B’Nai Mitzvah Program.

I think mitzvah projects are very important for children so that they can experience firsthand how good it feels to help others.” Her son felt good that he was able to help out, Allison added, and he told her it felt better to give than to receive. Many synagogues require students to perform social action projects, or mitzvah projects, before their big days. They are meant to highlight some of the most important values of Judaism, according to the United Jewish Federation, including compassion and repairing the world. “It’s refreshing to hear in today’s environment,” South Baldwin Jewish Center Co-president Jeff Barkan said, “that a young man can take the time to not only think about others, but actually formulate and carry out a plan that will help many in need.” Seeing the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic inspired Kaden’s mitzvah project. “After learning my Torah portion for my bar mitzvah, I realized that the pandemic we are living through is similar to a plague,” he said. “Many people are hungry and need help. I asked my Hebrew school principal, Mrs. Gufre, how I could help people through my mitzvah project.

Kaden RogeRs and his parents loaded two pickup trucks and a car trunk with donations. She told me about Hatzilu, and I’m so happy that I could help.” The project was meaningful to Kaden, Allison said, because he found similari-
ties between the struggles of the Covid-19 pandemic and the struggles that Jews experienced when fleeing captivity in Egypt.
School district offers free Covid-19 testing The Baldwin School District recently launched a partnership with ATC Testing and Screening Services LLC to provide free Covid-19 testing for in-person students and their families. The initiative, which began last week, is part of the district’s ongoing Covid-19 response and effort to ensure the safety of students and staff members, school officials said in a letter to families on the district website. The testing is being done for the convenience of the students and their families and is not related to the required testing outlined in Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s col-

Here’s how to sign up for your vaccine By ANDREW GARCIA agarcia@liherald.com
At press time Monday, the distribution of vaccines to those over 65 years old continued in New York state. Despite the slowly unraveling process, most appointments to receive a shot will eventually need to be made through various government-run websites. It’s no secret: Appointments for the coming weeks are booked. New York receives roughly 250,000 doses of the vaccine every week from the federal government, a portion of which is allocated to Nassau County. More than 55,000 vaccinations have been administered in the county, which has more than 1.3 million residents. Still, it can be helpful to know what to expect when navigating the unfamiliar — and sometimes dysfunctional — websites. To eventually receive the vaccine, an appointment is required. A vaccine will not be given without an appointment. In addition to those over 65, eligible groups include doctors, nurses and health care workers, first responders, teachers and public transit, grocery store and public safety workers. Eligibility will open to more residents in the coming weeks and months. The New York state website, www. covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov, features an “Am I Eligible” app, which can be used by residents to check their eligibility before making an appointment. Also available is a list of all state-run vaccination sites in New York. Nassau County is home to one at Jones Beach, although like all other sites, no appointments are currently available. There are 11 other sites shown, all with limited availability. Nassau County has also established its own website for vaccine information, www.nassaucountyny.gov/vaccine. Several more county-run sites are shown, including Nassau Community College in Garden City, the Yes We Can Community Center in Westbury and Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, as well as five others. Appointments are limited here, too. Appointments for all sites will continue to open as eligibility requirements expand and more vaccines are delivered to the state. All vaccines received by officials are required to be used, according to federal guidelines. Residents will need to be diligent in making appointments once it’s their tur n. Problems have been reported about the New York state website, including it being inundated with heavy traffic, according to Nassau County officials. Appointments across the state were also canceled because of low vaccine supply, according to The New York Times. On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, county officials operated a pop-up vaccine site at Union Baptist Church in Hempstead. Roughly 150 vaccination shots were given to pre-selected community members over age 65. Similar pop-up

A NAssAu COuNty resident was vaccinated at Union Baptist Church in Hempstead on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

sites are likely to appear. “Once we get adequate vaccine supply from the federal government, Nassau County is committed to an equitable distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine,” Executive Laura Curran said in a statement. “As part of our efforts, the county is working closely with trusted messengers to build confidence in an equitable process, and with established partners to directly increase access in the communities hardest hit by the pandemic. The county will continue to vaccinate as many residents as we can across all communities so we can definitively win this war, get our lives back and get our economy roaring.” The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines, which are being used in the county, require two doses. The state site should automatically schedule your second appointment, while county officials will reach out to residents who received their first doses at a county-run site.

ON thE NEW York state-run vaccination website, www.covid19vaccine.health.ny.gov, a list of available state-run sites is shown. There is limited availability, but appointments will open to those eligible as more vaccines are delivered to the state.

Tax grievance period extended Nassau County property owners will have an extra 60 days to file their property-tax grievances because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, County Executive Laura Curran announced last week. The grievance period will extend from March 1 through April 30. “With many residents still struggling from the devastating repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic … this will provide additional breathing room for those who want to fight their property assessment,” Curran said. “I will continue to protect the rights of homeowners and do everything I can to ease tax burdens whenever and wherever possible. I encourage homeowners to consider the possible benefits of the grievance procedure.” Tentative assessed property values for the 2022-23 roll for every property in the county have been finalized and are being mailed out currently. Notices of tentative assessment are also posted online at mynassauproperty.com. Homeowners who believe their assessed values for the 2022-23 assessment roll are inaccurate can file an Application for Correction of Assessment with county’s Assessment Review Commission before the close of the grievance-filing period. Because of the instability of Nassau’s real
estate market caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the continued economic hardships that homeowners and businesses face, Curran said she has paused property valuation updates for the 2022-23 assessment roll. Thus, unless a homeowner has since received a correction of error, an assessment reduction or physically altered an improvement, the notice of tentative assessment should reflect the same property assessment as the previous year’s roll, which, the county executive said, is intended to protect against updates based on the current chaotic real estate market. Homeowners can find the calendar of virtual legislative meetings online at www.nassaucountyny.gov/arc and file their grievances on this site on their own. There is no fee to file an Application for Correction of Assessment with the county. For people without internet access, the application can be obtained in person at the Assessment Review Commission, 240 Old Country Road in Mineola, or by calling the ARC at (516) 571-3214. Property owners are encouraged to check ARC’s website for up-to-date information. –Scott Brinton

The grants were administered by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services through funding from the federal CARES Act. “Safe, quality child care for our kids is more important now than ever,” Kaminsky said in a statement. “I am confident that this vital funding will go a long way for children, teachers and parents alike, while ensuring they stay safe during this most difficult time.” The grant will be used to fund new classrooms and staff members, according to a news release. “Providing affordable, high-quality child care during this difficult time is more important than ever for Long Island parents and their children alike,” Friedberg JCC Executive Director Roni Kleinman said in a statement. “The Friedberg JCC is grateful to Senator Kaminsky for helping to secure this vital funding, which will undoubtedly go a long way in fostering the development of tomorrow’s leaders.”

Diocese of Rockville Centre Office of the Bishop
January 31, 2021 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Beginning Sunday, January 31, 2021 and continuing through February 6, 2021, the 35 Catholic elementary schools in the Diocese of Rockville Centre will participate in the annual national celebration of Catholic education: Catholic Schools Week. The theme for National Catholic Schools Week 2021 is “Catholic Schools: Faith. Excellence. Service.” Schools typically observe the week with Masses, open houses and other activities for students, families, parishioners, and community members. Through these events, schools focus on the value Catholic education provides young people and its contributions to our church, our communities, and our nation. This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Catholic Schools Week will look a bit different. In lieu of the traditional open houses our schools have held in the past to meet with prospective families, the schools will be offering virtual open houses and one-to-one meetings with principals that will allow prospective families to ‘visit’ the Catholic school(s) of their choice from the safety and comfort of their homes. This year, in spite of the pandemic, we have made significant progress transforming our schools through the Morning Star Initiative (MSI). Many elements of the Morning Star Initiative are already in place, like key academic improvements in mathematics, reading, and religious studies, which are helping students reach new potential. I am so grateful for the tireless dedication of the MSI team. Working with the MSI team, Long Island’s Catholic elementary school faculty and staff continue to put the needs of the 11,626 students (nursery-8th grade) and their families first. From maintaining the continuity of instruction during remote learning when the Covid-19 pandemic hit back in March, to taking all of the necessary precautions to welcome students back into a safe school environment this fall, I am extremely grateful for the grit and determination demonstrated by our school community to address the academic, spiritual and social needs of our students. Earlier this month, on January 4, 2021, we celebrated the 200th anniversary of the death of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821), one of the great native-born American Evangelizers and champions of Catholic Education. Please join me in praying that Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton and Mary, Star of Evangelization continue to intercede for each of us, for our Morning Star and Department of Education teams, and for our principals, teachers, and staff. With prayers and gratitude for your efforts, I am Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend John O. Barres Bishop of Rockville Centre
Catholic Schools Week Focusing on the value of a Catholic education Catholic Schools Week is set aside to celebrate the unique nature of the Catholic schools in each community. As communities of faith, Catholic schools instill in students their destiny to become saints. Academic excellence is the hallmark of Catholic education intentionally directed to the growth of the whole person – mind, body and spirit. Service is fundamental to Catholic education and the core of Catholic discipleship. Service is intended to help form people who are not only witnesses to Catholic social teaching, but also active participants through social learning. What Families Need To Know How will the Covid virus affect Catholic Schools Week? Like the changes we’ve seen in most everything else, the pandemic will reshape Catholic Schools Week somewhat as it pertains to Open Houses and large gatherings. Most schools will offer 45-minute virtual open houses and one-on-one opportunities to schedule an individual meeting with the principal. You are advised to check your school’s website for details of their events. Find a school by visiting https://licatholicelementaryschools. org/find-a-school. As a current school family, how do I participate? Catholic Schools Week is a celebration of all that is great about Catholic school. A combination of internal and external activities, Catholic Schools Week celebrates the parish, the community, the students, the nation, vocations and teachers and staff. Externally, the schools also offer opportunities for new families to visit and learn about the advantages each Catholic community offers. Out of an abundance of caution, most live events in 2021 will be celebrated exclusively by students and staff to minimize the students’ and the building’s exposure to outsiders. Most external events will be offered virtually. As a family considering a Catholic education, how do I learn more? Your local Catholic school will host predominately online events where parents and students can virtually visit the school(s) they think they might be interested in to view the facility, be introduced to the teachers, and learn about the academic, spiritual, social and physical development programs. How have the Catholic Elementary Schools addressed the pandemic? Catholic elementary schools have been remarkably successful in their implementation of mitigation techniques to limit each student’s exposure and risk.The schools have maintained a Covid infection rate of less than two percent, quarantining students and staff when necessary, but main-
taining the continuity of student instruction and the daily structure and normalcy in student’s lives: √ Each school has safely returned all students for full, five-day-a-week learning. √ Remote learning was a success in the spring, and is offered to students who choose to continue their classes online. √ Each school has embraced extensive mitigation policies and procedures that digitally scan each student each day for fever, create spaces where social distancing is observed, require mandatory mask wearing, keep students in cohorts to limit exposure and pay special attention to ventilation and frequent sterilization of high-touch surfaces. As a prospective family, do I have an ‘assigned school’? One of the first differences you will notice about Catholic school is that you get to select the school that you believe your children will be most successful in.There is no direct ‘assignment’ based on where you live and most school districts provide busing to the school of your choice within a 15 mile radius. What are the tuition rates and Is there a difference in tuition to attend a different school? Long Island’s Catholic elementary schools set their own tuitions, so they vary slightly, but average is around $5,500 per year with multiple child discounts that lower that cost for most. If your parish has a school we encourage you to become a member of that community, but there is no penalty for choosing a school outside of your parish or town. The system of schools is an asset here on Long Island for all of the families of the Diocese and for all of the families of Long Island. Are non-Catholics welcome in the school s? The schools are welcoming places to everyone without regard to race, religion or national origin. A religion class is a requirement, students participate in Liturgies, and faith is an integrated part of daily activities, but many schools have a significant population of non-Catholic students who attend because of the quality of the education. When parents select Catholic elementary school, what are the most frequently cited reasons? The reasons that are most frequently mentioned are; academic excellence, the reinforcement of the values lived at home, learning of the Catholic faith, attending school in a safe, nurturing environment and the individualized attention that each student’s learning needs receive. Above photo: In this unique community environment, children are surrounded by other children, families and a parish which serve to reinforce moral values and beliefs.

Town of Hempstead officials recently approved nearly $700,000 to develop a mobile Covid-19 testing and vaccination unit that will travel to many areas of the town that have been hit hardest during the coronavirus pandemic. The unit was developed in coordination with Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital. Funding for the program comes through the federal CARES Act. “We’re proud to once again team up with Mount Sinai South Nassau to provide essential Covid-19 services to our residents,” Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin said, adding that he thanked U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer with making the
CARES Act funding available to the town. “We’re very grateful to be partnering with the town on this initiative,” MSSN President and CEO Richard Murphy said. The mobile unit is expected to be up and running within 60 days, and will serve all areas of the town. Further information will be posted on the town website once the new program is fully operational. In the meantime, Hempstead’s drivethrough rapid-testing program continues to be offered at no charge to town residents. To make an appointment, call (516) 390-2888. –Scott Brinton

Restaurants can apply for up to $5K in New York state grants Restaurants can apply for New York state grants for up to $5,000 from the state economic development agency for help to survive through the coronavirus pandemic.

Eligible restaurants must have been in operation on or before March 1, 2019, certify that they have experienced financial hardship due
to the pandemic, and agree to comply with the state’s public health policies. “The Covid-19 pandemic has brought unique challenges to the restaurant industry and we must ensure these small businesses have the support they need to survive,” State Sen.

Life is just one damned thing after another unless we take time out to recognize and celebrate the good events that happen between the hardships and hassles. This is true for our personal lives as well as our country’s life. A celebration is an acknowledgment, an honoring of an event. Last week, the swearing-in of our new President and Vice President was our most acclaimed celebration. Many rejoiced. Some lamented. No matter, the celebration of the peaceful transition of power took place. Can you imagine what would have been lost if we ignored this day? If t h e swe a r i n g - i n t o o k place in secret - without witnesses, without any assurance that it ever happened, without joys and smiles, without previous Presidents of both parties present to lend validity to the occasion? Yes, we need celebrations. To acknowledge, appreciate and cherish the event. We need them inda as a nation, and we need them as people. That’s why we celebrate birthdays and anniversaries. That’s why we celebrate national and religious holidays. If they’re important to us, we don’t let them pass without marking their significance. Many of us, however, allow important moments to go unnoticed and uncelebrated. Such events, whether big or small, deserve to be recognized if they have meaning to us. A big, fancy occasion to mark the celebration is unnecessary. Indeed, you may not need to make the event public, but you do need to acknowledge and appreciate the event for your own self-worth. Neglecting to do so means that your accomplishment, achievement, success remain unnamed, unnoticed, unimportant. We might even say that it ceases to exist. Here are two examples of personal events that call for celebrations: John has a high pressured job and a demanding boss. On a typical day, he tolerates being spoken to disrespectfully,
yelled at for a non-essential error, and blamed for his boss’s blunders. Yesterday, however, was different. John stood up for himself, determined to stop the verbal abuse. When his boss finished his tirade, he said, “I don’t deserve to be spoken to like that. When you can speak to me respectfully, you’ll find me at my desk.” Shaking in his boots, he quickly departed from his boss’s office before anything more could be said. An hour later, his boss came to his desk and offered an apology – a half-assed one – but s t i l l a n a p o l o g y. H e accepted it. That evening, he toasted himself, “I did it!” He then shared his story with his wife, who promised that once Covid is no longer a threat, they’d go out to a fine restaurant to celebrate. The day Doreen lost 10 pounds was a day worth celebrating. Not publicly, but privately. Though Doreen still wanted to apadin lose another 10 pounds, she recognized with joy that she was halfway there! What would she treat herself to? Not food but new clothes in a new size! If you neglect to take time to celebrate your big and small achievements, everyday hassles and hardships become more prominent. So tonight, before your head hits the pillow, reflect on something personal worth celebrating. Create a blow-out Zoom party for your achievement, if you wish, or launch simple words of praise for yourself. “You did it! – Good job – I’m proud of you!” Then smile, pat yourself on the back and get a good night’s sleep. You’ve made your achievement a recognizable moment in your life.

Ready to begin work? HERALD Change is bad. Q. We read your column regularly, and followed
your advice, got plans, a very long permit review and were about to begin construction when the pandemic hit. It took much longer to start the job, and just as we were about to begin, we noticed things we wanted changed. We’re now told that the changes can’t be done easily, that the review will cost more and the plans cost more. The design wasn’t what we wanted or expected after having more time to think about it, so why can’t we just make the changes? We need our additions to be bigger now that we realize we may be living and working from home more, even after the pandemAsk The ic is over (someday). It doesn’t seem like the big Architect deal the architect is telling us it is. Can you explain?
A. Let’s all hope the
pandemic is over sooner than expected, and with minimal suffering and loss of more lives. If I understand the time you spent with the design process, the downtime when onte eeper your plans had already been reviewed and the time it would take to get into construction, there are more questions than answers. In my experience, not everyone visualizes what they’re hoping for, and many people not only spend time asking non-experts for opinions, but the overthinking and under-communicating lead to frustration, indecisiveness and, ultimately, an undoing of good ideas and good intentions. Even though your cousin is “in the business,” or your best friends, interior designer or the contractors you’re meeting with all have interesting ideas, they may not have been given the whole scope of work you asked for, and probably have never looked at zoning or building regulation code books (now online). I often advise clients to repeat after me: “Change is bad” when the process has reached the point of submitting for permits, the contract for construction has been signed and work is ready to begin. Having to replan a building, which at the very minimum is like pulling apart a three-dimensional puzzle, is also the reconsideration of multiple levels of laws, including building codes, electrical codes, plumbing codes, structural re-analysis, zoning codes and potential shortfalls when quick changes take the place of well-thought-out consideration. Nobody else on your “team” has the full scope of knowing how to formulate the project like your architect does. Your building department, like most, has to re-review the plans, and at the very least, this will cause delay and possibly additional fees. The contractor has to spend time with new costs and the time it takes to re-estimate. Many material prices have recently risen due to Covid-19 downtime, delays and startup of factories. It costs time and money to make changes, so making firm decisions and committing to not changing things is extremely important to getting a job done well. Nobody goes to work with the intention of not being paid, so plan to pay more for everyone involved in making your changes for you.

OpINIONS
very life has its inflection points, moments that can steer you in one direction or another, and that direction, as poet Robert Frost would say, makes all the difference. That is especially true for former President Barack Obama, as he makes clear in “A Promised Land,” his introspective account of his personal and political life, released by Crown in November. Impression one of this 701-page tome: Obama is an excellent writer. Impression two: His political idealism is heady and SCOTT infectious — inspiring — and BRINTON because he is so solidly grounded in his family and his ever-evolving faith, he is utterly relatable as a person. He’s one of us, born into the middle class, with all its attendant daily struggles and perpetual yearning for a better life — for the American dream. Early in the book, Obama ponders a fascinating question: What if he had never left Chicago, where he was a community organizer from 1985 to 1988, and struck out for Harvard Law School? What if he had stayed, fighting, and winning, seemingly small battles to improve people’s lives, helping to repair a park or housing project or starting an after-school program?
H
What if he had never run for president? “Like many local heroes I’ve met over the years, I might have managed to build up an institution that could reshape a neighborhood or portion of the city,” he writes. “Anchored deep in a community, I might have steered money and imagination to change not the world, but just that one place or that one set of kids, doing work that touched the lives of neighbors and friends in some measurable and useful way.” He left, however. After earning his law degree, he ran for the Illinois State Senate, and won. He ran for Congress, and lost. And he ran for U.S. Senate, and won, before seeking the presidency in 2007-08, sealing his destiny, and his place among the pantheon of truly historic American presidents, the first AfricanAmerican to lead the country. His first run for president was an audacious undertaking, begun just about 14 years ago, on Feb. 10, 2007, on the steps of Illinois’s Old State Capitol, where Abraham Lincoln had delivered his “House Divided” speech 149 years earlier, noting, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Thrust onto the national stage, Obama was seemingly a natural candidate, intelligent, clear-headed, collected, indefatigable — at once esoteric yet utterly down-toearth. What we see in “A Promised Land”
I
is his very human side, beyond the glare of the media spotlight. We see his occasional annoyance and anger, his wrenching self-doubt and guilt — he desperately wanted to be the excellent father that he never had as a child, but his constant campaigning pulled him away from his wife and two young daughters. We see former first lady Michelle Obama, ever the reluctant but supportive political wife — and a magnetic draw on the campaign trail, humanizing the Obama brand while delivering arcane policy proposals in emotional terms easily understood by the electorate. No doubt, Barack and Michelle Obama make one hell of a power couple. I could see myself in the details of “A Promised Land,” which I suspect would be the case for many people. Like Obama, I studied at Columbia University, only six years after he graduated from the school. As was the case for Obama, my time there was spent in quiet contemplation. He lived a life of seclusion and self-improvement, without any close friends, making to-do lists, running along the Central Park Reservoir or the East River, eating cheap meals on the fly. That was pretty much my life at Columbia, only I ran along the Hudson. While reading, Obama habitually circles words he has never seen before. It was
n which the author ponders the question, what if he’d never left Chicago?
a habit I picked up as a teen that I have never shed. I could especially relate to his description of his disorganized nature. Referring to his 2008 campaign manager, David Plouffe, Obama writes, “Whereas I could be absentminded, indifferent to small details, incapable of maintaining an orderly filing system, constantly misplacing memos, pens and cell phones that had just been handed to me, Plouffe turned out to be a managerial genius.” Like Obama — and like so many people — staying organized, on task, on point, is a constant struggle for me. I have to work at it, day after day. No manner of computerized calendar helps. I have to write it all down, and remind myself, again and again, do this, do that. Self-deprecating to a fault, Obama gives us permission to admit our foibles. The wonderful part of “A Promised Land” isn’t the after-action report on the life and times of Barack Obama, but rather the humanizing of his political persona, which was shaped by hard times that gave him the empathy he needed to craft policy — think the Affordable Care Act of 2010 — that helped determine the individual destinies of millions of Americans. It’s a good thing he opted for Harvard Law. Scott Brinton is the Herald Community Newspapers’ executive editor and an adjunct professor at the Hofstra University Herbert School of Communication.

Post-inauguration: So, how are we doing?
allelujah. That says it for me. Great relief, writ small. How do we feel safe again after the anxiety of the last four years? The inauguration of Joe Biden and the restoration of a functioning government feel right, but it will take a little time to feel good. Especially while we negotiate our way through the 12th month of a savage pandemic. I witnessed the turn from darkness to light, from crazy to sane, from chaos to civility. Like you, I RANDI watched on TV as KREISS the president took the oath, as Lady Gaga sang and as poet Amanda Gorman sealed the deal. Still, this doesn’t feel like jubilation to me. If feels like I just stopped banging my head against the wall. The agony is ebbing, but there’s a dull pain that will take some time to resolve. Right now, the feeling that eclipses all others is relief. Since Jan. 20, I haven’t gone to sleep watching the news or wor-
ried my way through a fitful night. Briefly, I tuned in to the news around 9 p.m. on Inauguration Day. Biden was still president. Nine hours had passed since the swearing-in, and no one had stormed the Capitol. The day went according to plans. One wonders what the news outlets will rant about now. How will they be relevant without the sugar high of the former president? The press lives by “if it bleeds, it leads,” and we had plenty of bleeding, from the stolen migrant children at our borders to the hundreds of thousands of friends and neighbors dying of Covid19. How do we cover a regular presidency, which makes the usual kinds of mistakes and actually functions as an administrative body? Will there be an audience for proposed infrastructure legislation and state dinners for visiting dignitaries? The media is challenged to get past the low-hanging fruit like Kellyanne Conway weaving her awful webs, Michael Cohen spilling his secrets, Ivanka, Jared, Giuliani and Melania the Silent. Trump’s goon squad gathered all the available light. The mean-spirited tweets and corrupt actions of so many people around
R
the former president provided grist for the media every minute of every day of the past four years. How do we and the news industry get accustomed to calm and quiet at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.? Admittedly, something is lost, like sensationalism and melodrama; the grinding of the wheels of respectable government may not make for bold headlines. I hope the journalists who helped save this country with their relentless pursuit of the truth will rise to the moment and continue to expose the bad guys who always rise to the moment, and point to success where they find it. This column, over the past four years, has strayed from usual weekly territory, which is hyper-local. To me, Trump and Covid are as local as stories can get, changing the DNA of our lives. To finesse the constraint of writing once a week, I sometimes post something especially timely on Facebook. On the night of the inauguration, I wrote this: “So, what’s the trick here? A sane, accomplished rock-solid man elected President. A Black woman with Indian
ight now, the feeling that eclipses all others isn’t so much jubilation, but relief.
parentage elected Vice President. A heartfelt inauguration speech promising to keep us safe and true to democratic values. A blast of first-day executive orders undoing some of the malicious initiatives of the former administration. A press conference at the end of the day, a real press conference in the White House briefing room by someone who says she will tell us the truth. When can we believe this is all true? It’s so much goodness, all at once. It will take some time to accommodate to the change.” Think of the ground shifting under our feet as Trump & Co. were swept into office, primed for action, taking axes and shovels to our country, fracturing our democracy and burying the ideals that had grounded us for 240 years. For four years, many of us have lived with serious anxiety and stress. Our president did not help us or protect us or work at his job to keep this country and its people safe. It changed last Wednesday, but we need a moment to gather ourselves together for the serious recovery work ahead. It’s still midwinter. But, every day, there is more light. Looking forward to hallelujah, writ large. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

ome 100,000 New Yorkers may face debilitating long-term health effects after falling ill to Covid-19, according to “What If You Never Get Better?” in the most recent issue of The New York Times Magazine. Yes, 100,000. That is a staggering number of people who may suffer from “long-haul Covid,” a seemingly inexplicable malaise with a wide range of symptoms, from general fatigue and achiness to severe joint stiffness and pain, heart palpitations and “brain fog,” described as a rush of emotion and thought, as if all the brain’s synapses were misfiring at once, leading to confusion and memory loss. Some have called it a “brain hurricane.” Similar effects were described by patients who fell ill during the Spanish flu
pandemic of 1918-19, long after the outbreak had waned. That is telling us that the effects of the coronavirus pandemic may be with us for years to come. Most long-haul Covid patients are women, according to The Times. Longhaulers, it’s believed, may suffer from an extreme overreaction of the body’s immune system to the coronavirus. Testosterone acts as a mild immunosuppressant; thus, men, while they may be more likely to die of Covid-19, appear less susceptible to long-term effects. What’s clear is this: As a society, we must prepare ourselves now to cope with Covid-19 and its after-effects long beyond the point that we have reached herd immunity against it, defined as 60 to 70 percent of the population with immunity. There will be an ongoing psycho-social
toll, as well as an economic one. Many people may struggle for years to regain a sense of normalcy and return to work. There will be untold medical costs. We must prepare ourselves now to support not only our family members and friends, but also strangers. We must accept that we are all in this together. Precisely a year has passed since Wuhan, China, locked down to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Some 2.1 million people around the globe have died of it, including more than 400,000 in the U.S. We must remain vigilant and committed to fighting this terrible illness by maintaining social distance, wearing masks, working from home when possible, limiting gatherings and getting vaccinated as soon as we are allowed and able.

Here’s to offshore wind for L.I.
overnor Cuomo recently announced his 2021 agenda — aptly titled “Reimagine, Rebuild, Renew” — and included in it is an ambitious $26 billion green-energy plan to continue the restructuring of the state’s power grid by building in evergreater amounts of renewable energy, particularly wind. The E.F. Barrett Generation Station in Island Park, an aging, rusting hulk of a power plant, will serve as a connection point for an undersea electric cable that will extend from a large-scale wind farm 20 miles south of Jones Beach. The wind farm will not be visible from shore. It is one of two such projects proposed off
Long Island’s coast — the other will be 60 miles east of Montauk. We’re excited to see plans for offshore wind moving forward. Wind farms will not only provide massive amounts of carbon-free electricity, but will also help create thousands of high-paying construction jobs that will infuse Long Island’s economy with hundreds of millions of dollars. Like state economies across the nation, New York’s has been battered by the coronavirus pandemic, with tens of thousands of people losing their jobs. It is smart of Cuomo to focus on infrastructure improvement — particularly green infrastructure. Multi-billion-dollar projects like

letterS Expand telehealth in New York To the Editor: While New York state has been on the cutting edge of promoting telehealth for its residents, the adoption of telehealth by both patients and providers has been slow. Covid-19 has changed not only the way we live, but also the way health care providers support their patients, especially with regard to mental health. New Yorkers adapted throughout 2020, but it’s time to push telehealth to the next level in New York and fully integrate it into our health care system. I propose comprehensive reforms to permanently adopt Covid-19-era innovations to expand access to physical health, mental health and substance-usedisorder services, including unlocking the benefits of telehealth through policy modernization. My proposal includes the following regulatory and statutory changes to allow for greater flexibility in where and when patients can use telehealth, while maintaining
wind farms will boost the economy, at the same time that they will help reduce carbon emissions to stave off the worst effects of the climate crisis, including sealevel rise and stronger hurricanes. In fact, offshore and land-based wind projects will reduce carbon emissions by 16 million metric tons per year, while creating some 17,000 jobs. Talk about a win-win. Offshore wind has been a long time coming in the U.S. — there is only one small, five-turbine offshore wind farm in the country, off the coast of Rhode Island. Let us hope Long Island’s offshore wind farms are finally brought to fruition in the near future. That will require all of our support.

he events at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 and the exhortations by some elected officials leading up to them got me to thinking about civic responsibility and our nation’s future. It also reminded me of a conversation I had with someone I had met while in the Navy years ago. In an exchange about the Constitution, he asked, “Which Constitution do you believe in? At first, I didn’t understand what he meant. Then I remembered the confirmation hearing of Supreme roBerT a. Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and sCoTT her testimony on the meaning of “originalism.” So, I concluded, this is what he asked: Did I believe in the Constitution of 1787, that followed the American Revolution, or was I one of those who believe in the Constitution that followed Reconstruction and gave previously denied rights to all people? Those who cling to the original wording of 1787 maintain that the text is authoritative and unchangeable. They seem to ignore that the Constitution was written and adopted with provision for
evolution in thinking and amendment. Without the amendments, Barrett wouldn’t have the right to vote or serve as a judge. I began thinking about this question, which Constitution, while pondering the events of the past few months and the rampage that took place in the halls of Congress. Why don’t we know more about our history and our form of government? Why do some people react angrily when historians offer research demonstrating that some long-held truth turns out to be incorrect? Ours is called an exceptional country, but it isn’t exceptional in the ways some espouse. They claim a moral superiority when the claim is really different. What has become the United States is not a nation based on tribal affinity, a common land or region, or blood relations, as are some others. Instead, it is a nation unlike most because it was founded on ideas and ideals that became the founding principles of freedom, civic engagement and responsibility, and schooling for citizenship. These principles, and others, still obtain, even if they aren’t fully realized. That’s why we refer to the nation as an “experiment,” and why we strive to “create a more perfect
T
union.” We recognize it is not yet perfect, but continue to strive for it to be — for all people. Those old enough will remember junior high and high school courses in civics, including formal instruction in U.S. government, history and democracy. For the fortunate students, civics instruction wasn’t just textbooks in the classroom, but also involved activities such as writing letters to the editor of the local newspaper, attending and writing about school board meetings, and formulating proposed legislative bills and debating the merits of the ideas behind them. While all 50 states require some form of instruction in civics and government, theory-based classroom instruction isn’t sufficiently supported by experience-based learning. One consequence is that only 25 percent of American students achieve the “proficient” standard on the National Assessment of Educational Progress Civics Assessment. According to the National Education Association, until the 1960s it was common for high school students in the U.S. to take three different classes in civics and government. Unfortunately, these courses were slashed in the early 2000s, when the federal initiative called “No Child Left
here used to be wideranging junior high and high school courses in civics.
LeTTers oversight to ensure that high-quality care is delivered: ■ Eliminating obsolete location requirements by requiring Medicaid to offer telehealth reimbursement for services rendered to patients regardless of where the patient or provider is located in a non-facility setting. ■ Developing interstate licensing reciprocity with states in the Northeast for specialties with historical access shortages to ensure there is sufficient access to medical and behavioral health professionals. ■ Continuing Covid-19-era flexibilities for mental health and substance-use disorder services by allowing certain unlicensed staff, such as credentialed alcoholism and substance-abuse counselor trainees or peer specialists, to deliver substance-use-disorder and mental health services. This also includes eliminating the remaining in-person evaluation requirements before telehealth services can be delivered, expanding the types of staff who can deliver remote services, developing a regulatory structure for a predominantly virtual outpatient substance-use-disorder treatment program and exploring the expansion of existing initiatives that extend behavioral health services into nursing facilities. This will include reimbursement of all mental health and substance-abuse provider types, including certified recovery
Behind” gave priority to “core subjects” like math and English, and to job preparation and standardized testing. In addition, according to the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement, only small proportions of teachers surveyed thought that school districts and parents would support teaching about politics in a course on government or civics. The toxic nature of politics reflects the decline in education in civic responsibility, and promotes partisanship over patriotism. How can we fulfill our obligations to pursue the common good if we give priority to conflict over compromise? How can we discover the virtues of resolution over revolution if we don’t know the building blocks of our democracy? In pursuit of a more perfect union, we should celebrate the four freedoms drawn from the Bill of Rights and articulated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear. We should use them as templates when discussing national purpose, priorities and progress. These principles, together with schooling in civics and critical thinking, can help guide fulfillment of the promises contained in the Constitution to which our elected and appointed officials swear loyalty. Robert Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University.

So, just write off student loan debt? To the Editor: U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer wanting the federal government to forgive the first $50,000 of outstanding college loans sounds great. Who doesn’t want free stuff from Washington? But what about the millions of American parents who saved and sacrificed to put their children through college? What about the students who worked at part-time jobs to attend college? Millions benefited from being able to attend college on student loans. This has given them access to the middle class. Sadly, too many students then stuck the federal government with the bill. Despite being successfully employed for years at good-paying jobs, there are a number of former students with ample income who refuse to pay off their student loans. Taxpayers are left with the uncollected debts. Now Schumer wants Washington to write off hundreds of billions in outstanding student loan debt. Many larger private colleges have endowment funds ranging from millions to billions. Why don’t they
A little wine, anyone? — Oceanside
contribute to reducing their own graduating students’ debts instead of taxpayers? Collecting some of these outstanding debts from those who can easily afford to pay would only be fair. Given that we are now burdened with a national debt of more than $27.7 trillion, attention must be paid to this scandal.
Why not start by denying federal and state tax refunds to those deadbeats who look for a free ride at our expense? When will the White House and Congress speak up on this issue and introduce legislation to assist in collecting the outstanding debts? LARRy PENNER Great Neck
