Deep snow and a deep freeze, but Baldwin keeps high spirits By sCoTT BRiNToN, lisA MARGARiA, and CRisTiNA ARRoYo RoDRiGUEz carroyo@liherald.com
In the waning days of January, a nor’easter blew across Long Island Friday night into Saturday, bringing with it more than a foot of snow in Nassau County as of 9 a.m., with additional accumulations throughout the day. Maureen Herman shared how she braved the storm inside as the wind howled out-
side, noting, “My American flag was taken down in this wind, especially since I lost my Marine flag somewhere in the neighborhood in the last gale winds.” With 24-mph wind gusts sweeping across streets, yards and homes, bringing up to 8 inches of snow by Saturday afternoon, not all Baldwinites gave the weekend the cold shoulder. Emily Ferrara announced on Facebook that Fisherman’s Road Canal had frozen

Baldwin sees the silver lining in major snowstorm town officials described road conditions as “dangerous” and said motorists should stay home if they do not have to go out, Kimberly Leibrock Cascio took to social media to announce that some services were still running, “Amazon still delivered — getting buried, but still arrived,” she said. The Long Island Rail Road suspended service Saturday. The LIRR posted on its Twitter feed: “Safety first! We continue to operate patrol trains throughout the system to keep tracks and switches clear of snow and prepare for the resumption of service. Stay off the tracks at all times and do not go around lowered crossing gates, as a train may be approaching at any time.” mattheW At a news conSandroWiCz ference Friday, Baldwin Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman urged county residents to stay inside their homes and off the roads. Blakeman also advised residents to keep pets indoors and, in case of power outages, not to leave candles unattended in order to avoid fire hazards. Dogs do have certain needs, so pet owners took advantage of the beautiful white landscape to grab portraits of and with their companions. Matthew Sandrowicz measured the snow by a familiar metric: “We had about a dachshund worth of snow around 7:15 a.m.” LJennifer Daizyjmc said she noticed that her husky mix, Leila, didn’t complain about the cold, but rather frolicked in the soft snow. Other residents braved the wild weather sans pets to capture this moment in time. Marie Bryck Healy ventured outside with her child to “dance in the snow,” and Erika Fischer Floreska photographed the sunrise after. The temperature hovered around 20 degrees Fahrenheit in the early morning on Saturday and didn’t climb above the freezing mark throughout the day. The temperature dipped overnight and remained in the 10- to 15-degree mark through Sunday. PSEG-Long Island reported only scattered outages across the Island on its website. Electric system reliability was at nearly 100 percent, the utility said as of 9 a.m. Saturday. Debbie Hefferon Hamilton also gave credit where credit was due, writing on social media, “Sanitation District No. 2 did a fabulous job plowing and sanding! Compliments and thanks to all.” “Our county is prepared for this event,” Blakeman said on Friday. “We have 80 trucks that have been out already since this morning salting the roads, and they are out prepared to do more salting throughout the evening, and they will plow throughout the evening and tomorrow morning. We expect this to be a two-day event — what I mean by that is the roads won’t be clear probably until Sunday morning.”

complex on Maple Avenue in Rockville Centre before his 1stt birthday. Dank trained to be an actor, and his parents worked hard to afford to put him through the academy, at which he studied for three years while also attending South Side High School. The academy, which draws in young actors from across the world, had a very intensive curriculum. Dank enrolled in a summer program at the school, where he learned and performed for five days a week and seven hours a day. Dank attended college at SUNY Albany, but transferred to Hunter College after his parents separated, where he earned an English degree in 2006. Dank credited his 12th grade English Russell Reed at South Side with pushing him onto the path of being a writer and eventual published author. “A lot of people hate reading growing up until you’re old enough to realize you can read what interests you,” Dank said. Dank While attending SUNY Albany, Dank made a decision that would solidify him eventually becoming an author. A job hunt followed, which Dank described as difficult since he was not taken by anything straight away. He was accepted into Long Island University’s masters’ program for English education, but just before he was going to enroll, the market crash of 2008 occurred. Instead of taking out loans during that financially perilous time, he got a job at World Courier, a medical logistics company. In 2012, Dank left his job at World Courier to move to Boston. He fell down his first “rabbit hole “while there, as he occupied his time navigating videos on Continued on page 5

Author Micah Dank said he thought that he might one day be well known in media, but he never expected he would be seven books into a series on astrotheology. After growing up in Rockville Centre, devoting himself to the stage, Dank found meaning in the zodiac and connections he saw in the Bible, and decided to write about them. Dank, 38, who lives in Baldwin, has been rapidly producing new entries as part of his series “Into the Rabbit Hole” over the past two years. Finally, after finishing his seventh entry, “The Unbegun”, which is to be released in March, and appearing on more than 200 podcasts to talk about his interest in astrotheology, which is the worship of the stars, individually or together as the night sky, the planets and other heavenly bodies, Dank has had a chance to reflect on how he got to this Micah point. He graduated from South Side High School in 2001 and went on to initially study acting at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Manhattan. “I was an acting major, but I realized when I got there that the acting classes I was taking were nowhere near as good as the ones I had already taken,” Dank said. “So I switched my major to English, thinking it would help me read scripts better. I wouldn’t be as big of a reader and I wouldn’t have such a breadth of topics that I talk about in my book series if that didn’t happen.” Dank was born in South Nassau Hospital, now called Mount Sinai South Nassau. His family moved to an apartment

Only one of Nassau County’s 58 boys’ basketball teams remained undefeated heading into February and it could be on a collision course to meet defending champion Baldwin in the Class AA title game. The Bruins stood at 13-1 overall and atop Conference AA-2 heading into this week’s action, while upstart Syosset was perfect through 14 games and running away with AA-1. Both teams have 10 wins by at least 18 points, but you won’t find a player on either roster among Nassau’s leading scorers. Syosset’s Matt Lindenman ranks 15th in the county, averaging 17.4 points per game, and Andrew Zhou is 17th at 17.1 ppg. Meanwhile the Bruins, led by senior point guard Jamir Stewart’s 13.2 ppg, have seven players chipping in almost 6.0 ppg or more. “Defense and balanced scoring are what we’re all about this season,” said Baldwin head coach Darius Burton, who on Jan. 16 celebrated milestone win No. 350 when the Bruins took down Half Hollow Hills East 70-55 in the Nassau-Suffolk Challenge. “Most of our starters haven’t played much in the second half of games,” he added. “But every night it can be somebody different us leading us in scoring.” While Burton also considers Plainview, Hempstead and Port Washington contenders, he said it would take an upset for Baldwin and Syosset not to meet March 5 at Hofstra University to decide the county championship. There were no playoffs last winter and the Bruins played only four games. “We came into this season with a lot of figuring out to do,” Burton explained. “We have 12 seniors, but none of them had starting experience. They’ve worked extremely hard.” Baldwin and Syosset have shared three common opponents so far — Plainview, Valley Stream Central and East Meadow. Baldwin defeated Plainview 50-42 on Jan. 22 after leading by 18 through three quarters and had last Saturday’s rematch postponed until next Monday due to the blizzard. Syosset defeated Plainview by 15

Senior Jacob Oka (21 points, 13 rebounds), junior Josh Petion (16 points), senior Jamir Stewart (13) and senior Gerrard Beaubrun (10) all scored in double figures to lead the Bruins to a hard-fought 71-68 victory. The teams combined for 57 points in a wild fourth
quarter. Petion, who played JV last season, earned Tournament MVP honors. “The one thing I want us to improve is valuing the ball more,” Burton said. “We’re still turning it over a little too much for my liking.” After Stewart, Beaubrun is averaging 11 points, Oka 10.6, Petion 9, junior Jaylen Brown 7.5, senior Cadeem Ramsey 6.5, and senior Michael Hall 5.8. Ramsey, in his first season of organized basketball, emerged as the starting center in late December is the team’s leading rebounder.

A friendly letter of winter caution from your friendly neighborhood volunteer firefighter To my fellow baby-boomers, Please sit back enjoy the snow and some wine. Dozens of people die and thousands are injured in New York every year while shoveling snow—a task that can trigger a fatal heart attack. A study estimated that 200,000 people were treated in emergency rooms for health issues
involving snow shovelings. The study recorded 1,647 deaths, all of them cardiacrelated. Medical experts and your Emergency Medical Services workers say older and middle-aged adults should avoid shoveling snow. Sincerely, Jerry Brown, Baldwin Fire Dept.

Baldwin school district upholds masking carroyo@liherald.com
County Executive Bruce Blakeman held a news conference on Tuesday, Jan. 25 on the steps of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola. He called on Gov. Kathy Hochul to accept Monday’s ruling regarding mask mandates by the Hon. Thomas Rademaker, justice of the NYS Supreme Court in Nassau County. Rademaker adjudicated a lawsuit that challenged the state mandate concerning masks inside public schools. His ruling declared the governor’s Dec. 10 state mandate that New York state public school students wear masks inside school buildings invalid. Rademaker wrote in his ruling that because New York is not legally in a state of emergency, State Commissioner of Health Mary Bassett, M.D., could not direct masks be worn in schools, and Hochul could not issue a mandate based on that directive without approval from the state Legislature. The basis of Bassett’s directive was a section of state regulatory code. Rademaker declared that Bassett’s and Hochul’s use of the code violated the state constitution, so the section “as promulgated and enacted” was unenforceable. At the news conference, Blakeman said bluntly, “…we’re here today to request that the governor stand down, that she not fur-

Locust Valley Board of Education members, Vice President Margaret Marchand, left rear, and Lauren Themis, far right rear, joined Blakeman at the podium to show their support. ther appeal the decision of Justice Rademaker.” Blakeman expressed confidence that if Hochul were to follow through on her decision to appeal Rademaker’s ruling, the Appellate Court would uphold the ruling. Rademaker’s decision, Blakeman said, was principled, well founded and on solid ground. Then he said that the lawsuit was
about choice, not about masks. “If a parent chooses to send their child to school with a mask, that’s fine,” Blakeman said. “We’re not anti-mask. We’re anti-mandate.” However, the Baldwin School District announced that same day that students are required to mask, in accordance with New York State Education Department and the
New York State Department of Health guidelines masks are required at school. Superintendent Shari Camhi stated, “We realize this decision provides relief for some and disappointment for others.” Republican legislators Steve Rhoads and John Ferretti as well as Michael Demetreiou, the lead plaintiff in the lawsuit, and members from local school boards stood with Blakeman. Demetriou thanked Blakeman for his support. After a few questions from people who attended the news conference, Blakeman went through a timeline of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s changing recommendations for mask wearing from the start of the pandemic in March of 2020. “I think the science has been somewhat dubious,” Blakeman said. “I’ve asked for, from the governor, from the health commissioner, I’d like to see the data, I’d like to see the science. It hasn’t been forthcoming. There’ve been no clinical trials on the effectiveness of masks.” He added that individuals who wish to wear masks will thereby be protected from the Coronavirus even if others don’t wear them. Doctors, he said, who opposed the state mask mandate had been bullied by the state Department of Health. On Tuesday afternoon, Justice Robert J. Miller, the state appeals court judge, sided with the state, granting a stay. It allows for the mask mandate to temporarily go back into effect.

New York’s Military Forces, which consists of nearly 20,000 members of the New York Army National Guard, the New York Air National Guard, the New York Naval Militia and the New York Guard.
Three members to address exorbitant rates and service provided by NY American Water Hempstead Town appointed John J. Reinhardt III, Laura Ryder and Joe Baker to represent the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority District Board on Jan. 26. The South Nassau Water Authority is an independent body, which has been created by the State Legislature, will oversee a district that currently receives water service through the private utility New York American Water. New York American Water, the private water provider that was recently sold to Liberty Utilities, has drawn the ire of frustrated ratepayers who have been paying outrageously high rates for many years compared to those served by municipal water providers. Reinhardt III is the Commissioner of the Town of Hempstead’s Department of Water and manages all aspects of the town’s municipal water operations, which serves over 37,109 customers across America’s largest township. Ryder is a trustee on the Lynbrook Village Board, a community leader serving in various organizations, including as a member of the American Water Company Outreach Committee from 2018 until 2020. There she has served as an advocate for fellow residents and providing information to the community in regards to the private water utility. Baker is a longstanding community leader and business owner and founder and president of the South Merrick Community Civic Association. Baker also serves on the Merrick Chamber of Commerce, the Historical Society of the Merricks and the Police Commissioners Com-
munity Council. While announcing the members of the South Nassau Water Authority, Supervisor Clavin and the Council Members renewed their call for the Governor and the South Shore’s State Senate representatives to provide fair and adequate funding for costs associated with the establishment and operations of the new independent body. The members noted that the North Shore Water Authority, which represents over 5,000 American Water Customers, receives $1 million annually in state funds, while the South Shore Water Authority, which represents over 110,000 customers, receives no funding under the bill approved by the state Legislature and signed into law by the Governor in November of 2021. “As we move the process forward, we also think that it’s disheartening that the residents of America’s largest township are being treated so disproportionately by our representatives in Albany,” Clavin said. “It’s time our Albany representatives provide equity to the residents of America’s largest township.” “Tens of thousands of residents in my Councilmanic district and in other communities served by New York American Water have been unfairly ripped off for years by paying outrageous rates for subpar service,” Councilmember Chris Carini said. The three members representing the Town of Hempstead on the South Nassau Water Authority board, which is set to be put into effect on Feb. 1.

TERMS OF SALE Such tax liens shall be sold subject to any and all superior tax liens of sovereignties and other municipalities and to all claims of record which the County may have thereon and subject to the provisions of the Federal and State Soldier’s and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten per cent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety per cent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety per cent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten per cent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding,
• The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. • The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or

indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. •The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited. This list includes only tax liens on real estate located in Town of Hempstead. Such other tax liens on real estate are advertised as follows:

The genealogy of the original Baldwins compiled by previous Baldwin Historical Society members.
Many original BaldwiniTes were buried in the Greenfield Cemetery in Uniondale.
Unraveling the story of the original Baldwins By Karina Kovac kkovac@liherald.com
In an informational “Meet the Baldwins” presentation given by the Baldwin Historical Society late last year, Karen Montalbano discussed the original men and women that developed the hamlet from the bottom up. Tracking the genealogy and picture records, several historical society members have been able to create a thoroughly researched timeline of people and events that changed Baldwin forever. After manually combing through church documents and other dated material, the research done by former historical society members in the 70s showed a Baldwin family tree beginning to emerge. Dating back to the 1600’s, the first known ancestor was George Baldwin, who lived from 1624 to 1681. He was most known for traveling from Hempstead to live in Baldwin in 1665 and starting the lineage of Baldwins. Living on Grand Avenue and Merrick Road, the family prospered, having numerous children and opening up a mercantile business on the Southwest corner of Merrick and Grand. Georges’ sixth-generation descendant Thomas Baldwin was one of the most successful Baldwins. Thomas and his wife Susanna Bedell ran a store that manufactured clothes and supplied general goods for public consumption. Also participating in real estate, investing in gristmills, sawmills, farming and clamming, the village was officially founded as Baldwinsville in 1855 in Thomas’ honor. The town’s name however, had to be changed in 1892 to not confuse the U.S. Postal Service with another Baldwinsville in upstate New York, thus creating the Baldwin known today. Another massively influential person stemming from Baldwin was Sarah Ann Barnum, who was politically active in a time when women couldn’t vote and considered the “best known woman on
Long Island” in 1893. Montalbano explained, “It was said that Sarah could see the open meadows of the Hempstead planes from the windows of her threestory mansion on Front Street.” Barnum convinced the town to sell the planes for profit and development and in doing so became the chairperson, and her husband Peter, the president of the Nassau County Agricultural Society. Talking to farmers, she convinced them that two thirds of the land sold would go to education and social services, thus the Hempstead planes were sold and Garden City was created. She also built poor houses on what is now called Barnum Island, where homeless people could work on farmland. Her political influence was massive. “It was said that any candidate she backed for election, including her brother Francis, never lost. She was sometimes called the eighth member of the board, because she had such and strong relationship with the county,” Montalbano stated, adding that Barnum later quit politics because of media ridicule. Susan, Thomas, and other Baldwin descendants are buried in Greenfield Cemetery where a monument is dedicated to them. Many homes that date back to when Susan and Thomas were living are no longer standing because of the development of Grand Avenue. However, there is rumblings that the Cecere Family Funeral Home may be a Baldwin home that architect Francis Baldwin owned. The impact the original Baldwins left on the community is still felt today when residents pass street signs with last names or walk the same natural trails settlers walked around Silver Lake Park. Montalbano concluded the lecture on a sentimental and reflective note saying, “At this point we don’t know of any Baldwins who are living here actually in Baldwin, but these Baldwins did a lot, accomplished a lot in their lifetime and left us their legacy.”

A. Depending on which way the wind blows, literally, you need to assess the types of storms and the typical direction that storms come from in your area. In the Midwest, storms generally come from the Southwest. In the Northeast, there are nor’easters and southwest storms. Nearer to the Atlantic and Pacific onte eeper oceans, storms head from offshore toward land. Florida can get hit from three directions. What you’re mainly interested in is wind resistance, but keep in mind that you may need to plan to be higher off the ground if you’re in a floodplain. The higher above ground you need to be, the greater the wind speeds will be. It’s best to develop a centrally located room with indirect air ventilation, made of either steel-reinforced poured concrete, steel-reinforced concrete panels or steel-reinforced concrete block. Plain steel can also be used, but the cost may be greater to connect everything. Brick isn’t a structural material, and individual bricks can easily be stripped and hurled like very large bullets by high winds. The more aerodynamic the surfaces of the safe room structure are, the more it will deflect missilelike materials. A round safe room is safer. Just don’t get frustrated if someone tells you to go stand in the corner. The indirect ventilation shaft can be a steel or cast iron pipe turned downward. The point is that you want a durable, indestructible pipe located away from water, gas or electric lines that, if ruptured, could kill occupants who thought they were protected. The vent should also not be pointed directly into the wind. It’s advisable to have an engineer or architect who has training in such safety issues work with you on the specifics. Building code boards have avoided setting standards, even though groups such as the American Society of Civil Engineers have been asking for standards to be addressed. It may eventually come to that, but for now there are no specific standards, mainly because different building associations lobby against them, since standards and required safe rooms would add significantly to the expense of renovations and new homes. When you consider that structural metal connectors and hurricane-resistant windows are already in the code, plus the latest increases in shipping and manufacturing costs, home construction is getting further and further out of reach of the average prospective consumer. Just adding more surface material to your floors, walls and ceilings isn’t going to help you in severe storms. Good luck.

safer from high winds. It’s old, and creaks when we get wind gusts. I looked online at safe rooms, and they’re a lot of work and cost. Is there a cheaper way to make a room — at least one room — safe to go to if we have a tornado, and can we make our house less creaky when windstorms blow?

he strangest clock in the world isn’t a clock. Rather, it’s a simple drawing of one, composed solely of black lines and dots against a white background. The hour hand is pointed straight up, in the 12 o’clock position, and the minute hand is only seconds away from meeting it at midnight. If the two hands merge as one, the world ends in a “civilization-ending apocalypse.” As I write this, the clock is at 1 minute, 40 seconds to midnight. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, ScoTT started by Albert Einstein and the bRINToN University of Chicago scientists who helped build the first atomic bomb during World War II, came up with the Doomsday Clock as an urgent warning to humanity that we must reverse course and move away from nuclear proliferation before we blow ourselves to smithereens, taking the rest of life on Earth with us. The clock is reassessed and reset each January. It marked its 75th anniversary on Jan. 20. With only 100 seconds to midnight, we have never been closer to annihilation than we are now — not even during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, according to the distinguished panel of scientists, which
I
includes 11 Nobel Prize laureates, who have recalibrated the clock this year. The Doomsday Clock has become something of a cultural icon, referenced in novels by Stephen King and Piers Anthony, songs by the Who and the Clash, and comics such as “Watchmen” and “Stormwatch.” It should not be taken lightly, however, and it certainly shouldn’t be seen as the fictional imaginings of mad scientists. It is intended to give us a realistic assessment of our chances of survival as a species. What the clock tells us — screams at us, really — is that we must get it together before it’s too late. We must unite behind a common mission of saving ourselves from extinction. That means dispensing with wild conspiracy theories, ancient superstitions and internecine feuds and seeking science-based solutions to some of the most urgent questions and problems that our species faces, including the continuing nuclear arms race, the climate crisis and out-of-control viral invaders, a.k.a. Covid-19 and all of its many variants. Here’s what the scientists wrote in the news release announcing this year’s Doomsday Clock: “U.S. relations with Russia and China remain tense, with all three countries engaged in an array of nuclear modernization and expansion efforts — including China’s apparent large-scale program to increase its deployment of silo-
W
based long-range nuclear missiles; the push by Russia, China and the United States to develop hypersonic missiles; and the continued testing of anti-satellite weapons by many nations. If not restrained, these efforts could mark the start of a dangerous new nuclear arms race.” Yes, while the coronavirus pandemic has been roiling the world, the planet’s three nuclear superpowers have been steadily ratcheting up their arsenals with new, ever more deadly technologies. The military industrial complex lives, even as people around the globe are falling ill and dying of disease by the millions. You would have thought a global pandemic would bring people together behind a common cause — survival. Instead, we are more divided than ever, and rich nations continue to play a dangerous game of geopolitics. Witness what’s happening in Ukraine these days, with Russia amassing tens of thousands of troops and armaments on the Eastern European nation’s borders, appearing ready to invade for no good reason other than, it seems, Russian President Vladimir Putin wanting to assert his power and regain a modicum of the glory his nation lost with the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991. Interestingly, 1991 was the year that we were furthest from annihilation over the past three-quarters of a century, when the
hile a wellknown clock nears midnight, we ratchet up nuclear arsenals.
Doomsday Clock was at 17 minutes from midnight after President George H.W. Bush and his Soviet counterpart, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty to significantly reduce the number of nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in their stockpiles. As I write this, 8,500 American troops are reportedly headed to Eastern Europe, possibly to Bulgaria, where I served in the Peace Corps, Romania, Hungary and Poland, presumably as a signal to these NATO allies that the U.S. has their back. Ukraine is not a NATO member, so the U.S. is not obligated by treaty to defend its borders if it is attacked. I find it mind-boggling that Putin would bring Europe to the brink of yet another war at any time, let alone amid a worldwide pandemic. His posturing is the very definition of craven. In the U.S., we really must work to eradicate the coronavirus so we can move on to the other pressing issues of survival. We have all the tools that we need to beat Covid-19 except the political will. The clock, though, continues to tick. Now, not later, is the time to put aside our differences for the sake of humanity — for the survival of our species. Science tells us so.

Babies or bulldogs: What’s a couple to do?
hate to even appear to disagree with the pope, but not everyone wants to have children these days. Early last month, according to America magazine, a Jesuit publication, Pope Francis made a casual comment about people wanting to have pets rather than children. Boom! He unleashed a dogfight in the public square. The press went wild. The New York Times said, “Pope Scolds Couples Who Choose Pets Over Kids.” CNN blared, “Opting for pets over children is selfish RANDI and ‘takes away KREISS our humanity,’ says Pope Francis.” According to the Jesuit review, the press sensationalized the pope’s remarks that day. It assured readers that he appreciates the grace of loving a pet, but like most religious leaders, he encourages people to be fruitful and multiply. The puppy issue is a kind of red herring, pardon the cross-species metaphor. There’s the decision whether to have kids, and there’s the cultural sideshow of replac-
ing babies with puppies. Apparently, American women are choosing not to have children in increasing numbers, having nothing to do with pets. Raising a child to age 18 can cost upward of $250,000 (pre-inflation). More women want to move along unimpeded in their professions, and rise in the business world without other responsibilities. Many couples are worried about bringing children into a world fraught with conflict. The other factor playing out in our society is the humanizing of our pets. It seems to follow that if you decide not to have kids but want an outlet for your nurturing genes, a dog is a great idea. But it gets crazy, with dog strollers and individualized diets and dogs welcomed at restaurants and shops and on airplanes. Young dog owners devote the same time and attention to their animals that, in another time and place, they might have dedicated to children. Thus the papal comment on pets. With the new dogs-as-kids paradigm, many 20- and 30-somethings travel with their pets, staying at a growing selection of dog-friendly properties. The W Hotel in
A
New York, like other high-end places, isn’t just pet-friendly, but downright petobsessed. Bring Luke the Lab to the W and he’ll get his own bed, food, water bowl, leash, birthday cake and poop bags. I don’t have to enumerate the ways in which kids are way more trouble than dogs, do I? From teething to toilet training to teaching them to walk and talk, to braces and curfews and weed and sex: what a bother. This is not to mention tutors and religious school and the preteen years, followed by the teen years, followed by the pre-adult years, which last until age 45 or so. I speak from long experience. My dog always listens when I talk. She has never caused me a sleepless night. When I give her a haircut, she doesn’t slam the door and say she hates her life. When I give her chicken for the 60th time, it’s all good. My kids are 47 and 50. My dog is 4. As I curl into my chair at night, who’s right there, snuggled into my lap? Not my kids, for sure. My girl Lillybee never considers “moving on.” She has spurned numerous suitors, threatening to bite any hound that comes too close. The Virgin Queen, as we
pparently, more American women are choosing not to have children.
fondly refer to her, has made us her life’s work. Her devotion is undiluted by conflicting loyalties or hobbies or obsessions with travel or exercise. Can’t say the same for the kids. In the puppy-vs.-tiny human debate, in this time and place of pandemic and peril, going with a pet seems reasonable for all the reasons I mention. But the pope takes a longer and broader view, and at the end of the day, which may come at any moment, he’s right. The future of humanity doesn’t depend so much on a new litter as on a new generation. And according to the Jesuit magazine, it’s part of the pope’s job description to urge his flock to have more babies. The magazine suggests, “There is more to the Pope’s comments than what you read in the headline. It was an offhand comment (about pets), but it also reflects something he believes. And whether you like it or not, the church is probably always going to have an opinion about your personal life and your family. It’s kind of how we do things. And it’s O.K. to wrestle with that and engage with that. That’s all part of the fun.” Between the lines are the epic debates of our time. Still, I appreciate the magazine’s nonconfrontational approach to one of life’s most consequential decisions. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

Congress should support maternal health
U
.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, last week called on Congress to provide $7 million to fund evidencebased training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health, and $25 million to establish a program to deliver integrated health care services to pregnant women and new mothers that will reduce the inordinately large number of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women. It is an urgent issue, including here in Nassau County, one that the Herald first called on government officials to address in 2019. We are pleased to see that Gillibrand has taken up the cause. Three years ago, the Herald undertook a year-long series examining racism in Nassau. We led with an exposé on issues of maternal health faced by Black women throughout the county. In particular, we looked at the group Birth Justice Warriors, founded by Hofstra University Professor Dr. Martine Hackett and the Rev. Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, a pastor and the director of outreach services for the North Shore Child Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit mental health agency with offices in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury. Among the central issues that Birth Justice Warriors is working to address is infant mortality, which is a leading indicator of a community’s well-being, according to the Nassau County Department of Health’s 2016-18 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. When children are dying in high numbers at birth — the start of life — there are probably myriad
letters Bail-reform misperceptions To the Editor: Re the editorial “Bail reform law still needs more tweaking” (Jan. 20-26): The Herald perpetuated a false narrative created by opponents of the law. Contrary to statements designed to sway the public, judges are not prohibited from setting cash bail for someone arrested for gun possession. The repetition of this misperception, common among candidates and police officials, contributes, if not causes, the “high degree of electoral support” for reforming the law. As made clear by the new law, Criminal Procedure Law 510.10(4), cash bail can be set for any qualifying felony enumerated in Penal Law Section 70.02. That section includes the felony offense of possession of a loaded firearm, a Class C violent felony. While it is true that cash bail is not mandatory for such a charge, it is also true that it never was.
other health concerns in a community. In the majority of white communities across Nassau, the infant mortality rate ranged from 0 to 3 in 1,000 births in 201416, according to the state Department of Health. Meanwhile, in most communities of color, the infant mortality rate was three to nine times that. In its annual rankings of healthiest counties in New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranked Nassau the second-healthiest of the state’s 62 counties this year. When that data is broken down into individual ZIP codes, however, a disturbing pattern is made clear in communities of color, Hackett said: Babies there are significantly more likely to die during or shortly after birth than in predominately white communities. County officials identified nine communities of color and communities with large minority populations — Elmont, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Inwood, Long Beach, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury — with measurably greater health concerns than nearby white communities. Nassau is the 13th-wealthiest county in the U.S., with an average annual household income of around $93,000, according to census data. “The affluence of the county as a whole masks the needs of these severely underserved selected communities,” the county’s report states. Taken as a whole, the infant mortality rate in these communities is “nearly double that of the rest of the county,” the report continues. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the
discrepancy on a discrete factor like income level, according to Hackett: Women with fewer financial resources are unable to afford the same level of care that women of greater means can. But statistics tell a more complicated story. How, for example, does one explain Elmont, a solidly middle-class community of color with an annual average household income of $94,353, above the county average? It has the second-highest infant mortality rate in Nassau. Access to health care alone “is not sufficient” to explain the disparities in health outcomes, Hackett said. Bias and systemic racism also play their parts, she believes. Clearly, issues of implicit bias, and at times outright racism, come into play, even in the medical field. It’s time that the federal government study and address them so all of us can better understand the psycho-social complexities of the doctor-patient relationship that can determine maternal health outcomes. February is Black History Month. Historically, there is a great deal of mistrust in Black communities of the medical field because of past wrongs, not the least of which was the infamous “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” from 1932 to 1972, when Black sharecroppers with the venereal disease were left untreated to see what would happen, even after penicillin, a cure for syphilis, was widely available after 1945. The only way to build trust in Black communities is to address their issues head-on, with science-based studies and programs, as Gillibrand has proposed. Congress thus should appropriate the funds that the senator seeks.

ost New Yorkers want the same thing: a safe, affordable place to raise a family, one where our children can play outside without worry. Many of us commute to New York City, and felt safe for a period in “America’s safest big city,” thanks to the hard work of the New York City Police Department and the “broken windows” model of policing. The broken windows theory holds that visible signs of crime and civil disorder encourage further CHristopHer crime and disorder, including seriCarini ous crimes. The theory suggests that policing methods that target minor crimes such as graffiti, public drinking, trespassing and fare evasion bring an atmosphere of order and lawfulness. This model took New York City from the murder capital of the country in 1970s to record low crime rates in the early ’90s, creating a renaissance and a booming metropolitan area. New York was back, and home prices skyrocketed in Nassau County. The county’s crime
rates plummeted, and our close proximity to the city made Nassau the place to raise a family. The media at the time praised our law enforcement, our elected officials had their backs, and if you wanted to be elected district attorney, you had to be tough on crime. But something changed, and the media, and some elected officials, turned. We had grown used to our safe neighborhoods, and many forgot, or were too young to remember, the high crime of yesterday. A new movement was on its way to change our system. The first step was not enforcing low-level crimes. Some elected officials ran successfully on the platform of less enforcement. Next up were changes in Albany in criminal justice reform, often referred to as “bail reform.” This law took away judicial discretion in setting bail for misdemeanors and “non-violent” felonies, including stalking, assault without serious injury, burglary, many drug offenses, and even some kinds of arson and robbery. Stripping judicial discretion was a major shift. Judges could no longer set bail for these charges, nor could they

e face a crime wave that many fear could move east from New York City.
Letters It is also inappropriate to refer to those arrested but not convicted as “of fenders.” Though it may not be popular, there is still a presumption of innocence when bail is first set. While there may be legitimate reasons to revisit the bail statute, it is irresponsible to repeat the lies that are used to gin up public outrage. JAY K. GoLDBerG Woodmere Goldberg, a criminal defense lawyer in New York, was previously a first deputy bureau chief in the Kings County district attorney’s office.

determine the suspects’ risk to the public or the likelihood that they would repeat the crimes. Albany passed this legislation without input from law enforcement professionals, judges or district attorneys. Lawmakers went even further, passing changes that many consider witness intimidation. What’s more, with changes in discovery laws, prosecutors must now provide to the defense the names and contact information of victims and witnesses. The defense is free to contact them, including victims of sexual assault and witnesses to gang violence. Do you doubt this causes victims and witnesses to no longer want to cooperate out of fear or intimidation? Soon the movement demonized the brave men and women of our law enforcement. Calls to “defund the police” began. It became reality when Mayor Bill de Blasio passed a budget that gutted the NYPD budget by $1 billion and disbanded the department’s plainclothes anti-crime units. The result was virtually instantaneous: Violent crime skyrocketed. Shootings, carjackings and homicides rose fast. Now we are faced with a national crime wave that has also affected New York City, not long ago that safest big city

trying to shy away from choosing/reading books that touch on the pandemic or remind us of something similar. I find my attention span wanes or my brain gets cluttered, for whatever reason. Between Covid and turning 55 next week, I guess I’m starting a “new phase” in life. I find that picking shorter books, or books that move quickly, is helpful. Not so much of a commitment on our part, and we can move on to the next thing. An author named Marie Benedict writes historical fiction, focusing on the women behind famous men. We read “The Mystery of Mrs. Christie,” a novel about the days Agatha Christie went missing in 1926. It was a shorter book with chapters that weren’t too long. I also find short stories are good for when we can’t stand anything too complicated. I would love to know what randi and her group are reading, and I look forward to her next column.

in America, but where many no longer feel safe. It feels like the Gotham of old. Many are concerned that the crime wave could move east, to our backyard. So how can we fix this? We start by electing tough-on-crime district attorneys like we did last election cycle. We must send elected officials to Albany who will demand the repeal of “bail reform,” return judicial discretion and allow victims of crime to feel protected again. We also must send representatives to Washington who will stand up for our law enforcement and change the national narrative. We must all stand up for our police officers. The anti-law enforcement, pro-criminal agenda must end. We must fund and defend our police, not defund them. We must provide the tools, funding and public support to the police to help them do the job of protecting us. It takes someone special to place him or herself in harm’s way for the benefit of others. We must defend those who protect us. The time is now, and together we can turn this around. Christopher Carini is a Town of Hempstead councilman representing the 5th District.
