Police talk made easy for Baldwin kids By CRistiNA ARRoyo RodRiguEz carroyo@liherald.com

Cristina Arroyo Rodriguez/Herald

dR. AlfREd titus Jr., far left, read his new children’s book about police to the children of the 3 D Aftercare in Baldwin, where he wanted to start the “talk” that many parents of color have with their children about the police.

On Nov. 12, retired New York Police Department Detective Dr. Alfred Titus Jr. read his newest published children’s book, “The Police Are Part of Our Community,” to kids attending 3 D Aftercare at its newest location on Merrick Road. “This book is written for the children growing up in a world where police and community conflicts occur far too often,” Titus wrote in the afterword of his book. As an African-Ameri-

can himself, he told the Herald that he wanted to write the book especially for children of color, because they are constantly exposed to negative messages abount police. About two dozen children gathered on a rainy Friday afternoon under the guidance of Dr. Zodelia Williams in a big room lined with chairs. They put on their “listening ears” as Titus read aloud from his illustrated book, fielding questions between turns of the pages, making for an engaging and interactive reading. Continued on page 14

Local children join the ranks of the Covid vaccinated By CRistiNA ARRoyo RodRiguEz carroyo@liherald.com

Baldwin pediatricians’ offices recently started to receive the Covid-19 vaccine after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention signed off on its use Nov. 2 for children as young as 5 in a 14-0 vote. Baldwin mom Rachel Silberstein Guarneri took her 10-yearold quadruplets to get vaccinated within the first week after approval. Kyra, Aaron, Zoey and Athena, who attend Meadow Elementary School, all told the Herald that they were happy to be vaccinated. “I’ve had my kids tested more

times than I can count,” Silberstein Guarneri said. She cited concerns over the spread of Covid-19 in schools as the primary reason to have her kids vaccinated, saying, “A lot of children in school don’t wear their masks properly; some take them off completely.” Almost 6.2 million children nationwide have been infected since the start of the pandemic, and more than 65,000 have been hospitalized and 718 have died, according to federal data. In the past year, Covid-19 is one of the top 10 causes of death for this age group. The American Academy of Pediatrics has seen more than a 6 percent increase in

inoculation guidelines What parents should do before having their kids vaccinated: ■ Talk to your child about what to expect. ■ Don’t give pain relievers to prevent side effects. ■ Tell the doctor about allergies your child may have. ■ To prevent fainting, your child should be seated or lying down for 15 minutes after.

cases among children from this past week, and kids made up about one-quarter of all new cases in the past month. On Long Island, the Covid-19 positivity rate has increased to more than 3 percent, after falling to under 2 percent. The number of Long Island children infected, however, remains a mystery, as New York is one of the few states

that does not report children’s statistics. Medical experts concur that Covid-19 will not go away until people get vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. The Baldwin School District is ready to address the new vaccination rollout for children. “The Baldwin Union Free School District is working with Mount Continued on page 10

WINNER

The slow down of new car production created a shortage of new cars resulting in substantially higher prices. Now, more than ever before, a good hand-picked low mileage, warranted pre-owned vehicle makes the most sense. In addition to worrying about our personal health it is important to maintaining our nancial health and one way to do that would be to purchase a preowned vehicle rather than a new one. Financing a late model, low mileage car with a warranty from D&P can save thousands in depreciation and give you a like-new vehicle to enjoy without worry. And buying over leasing will ensure you have something of value to hold onto when payments end, or use as a down payment for your next vehicle. Cars in our inventory are hand picked and prepped to be like-new providing the quality service that has kept our business growing and going for fourty-two years. I would like to thank our loyal customers for your continued support and voting us Best Used Car Dealership on Long Island for three years in a row! We've been nominated again! If you've been satised with your D&P experience, please let everyone know by voting for us every day until December 15th!

veterans salute each other, gesturing respect and comradeship among the different branches of military present from different wars.

Baldwin American Legion honors veterans By Karina Kovac kkovac@liherald.com

American Legion Baldwin Post #246 honored the tender significance of Veterans Day with touching videos centering each branch of the military, 11 bell rings signifying the silent guns of World War I and a catered lunch. The day set aside to thank those who served in war time and peacetime, saw the community coming together to eat and discuss the mark veterans have left on all our lives. Vietnam Veteran Antonio Ramirez remembers when he first got called to duty. Receiving an envelope that said Selective Service System, Ramirez opened the envelope when a subway token fell out. “They gave you a subway token, so you had no excuse not to show up,” Ramirez told himself. Grappling with the decision to go because of the politics involved in the war he said he decided that “No choice better to go and do that, than to go to Canada and never come back to my country again.” Being put into the 196 Light Infantry, Ramirez considered he was in “the most elite unit” in Vietnam. Ramirez recounted he was involved in one tour for “11 months and 24 days… you count every one of them.” His company trekked the jungles looking for Vietcong as the Tet Offensive was occurring. “We were losing 1,200 a month at that time…we lost 3,628 in my company I was with,” Ramirez stated to the Herald. After coming back from the war, he noticed the public was not kind to veterans, saying, “Everyone turned their backs on us--I came back and had to take my uniform off…the news did not help they called us baby killers.” Those returning started to “release that they were on the wrong side of history,” Ramirez remembered. “I’m still bothered by how people responded,” he added, “What we experienced there, the emotions, you can never put on film.” The everlasting effect of war decades later still lingers for him, as he stated, “53 years later my buddies are still going to therapy…120 to 130 a year dying from Agent Orange.” Ramirez considers himself lucky he “spent every day in the jungle.”

Ramirez concludes that “they should teach our kids a little bit of what we saw there, so they can see what veterans had to deal with and what they done to be able to keep the freedom that we have.” He said, “People don’t realize and make that connection how important it is to have the freedom we have.” Baldwin Boy Scout Troop 824 was also in attendance showing their support. Scout Antonio Sontana had a personal reason for coming out, he stated, “My father served as a veteran in the Navy, so that connection makes it important to me.” Fellow Scout Raiyan Brahmi takes a different approach, saying, “It shows support for the people who keep our freedom and those who make our lives easier than if we were controlled by a sort of country without it.” Merit Badge Counselor Cathy Vodopivec also shared thoughts on the significance on the day. She told the Herald, “It is important to thank all those who have served and are still living, and also, even though Memorial Day is for those who died, thank everyone who gave us the freedoms to be who we are and to do what we do.” Bob Hair, the commander at the American Legion, shared that this day “gives people who have served an opportunity to

be recognized and respect the people who served with them in different branches of service.” He added, “It’s not really so much for us, as to reach out to the community and say if you want to do something, here we are.” Trying to aid veterans, Hair said donations help, “The American Legion makes a lot of donations; we have fundraisers, wounded warriors… we’ve made a little progress on suicide prevention.” The community response has been an effort on both sides explained Hair: “I’m glad people were able to come out today, and certainly in the future we’re here for the community--we look forward to seeing them and interacting with them.”

From leFt, 3rd Vice Commander Stu Cohen, Legislator Debra Mulé, Commander Bob Hair, Chaplin Emeritus John Atkin and Chaplin John Meyer all devoted their time and efforts at the American, center page. vietnam veteran antonio Ramirez used to ride in Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club to advocate accountability for Prisoner of War and Missing in Action service members.

Know anyone around town who you’d describe as a true do-gooder –– that PTA president, Little League coach or scout leader who goes above and beyond the call of duty; that community volunteer who gives so much of him or herself while asking for nothing in return; that volunteer firefighter or emergency medical technician who saved a life?

Islanders pay homage to veterans with Chair of Honor By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

The much-anticipated opening of UBS Arena will take place this Saturday night when the New York Islanders host the Calgary Flames. On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, Islanders coowner Jon Ledecky hosted a dozen United States veterans for a tour of the team’s new home and also unveiled a “Chair of Honor” on the main concourse. It will remain empty to honor those that are Prisoners of War or Missing in Action and symbolizes there will always be a place for them at UBS Arena awaiting their safe return. The Chair of Honor will

also serve as a remembrance of those who have fallen in service of our country. “We want to make sure at UBS Arena that we are always remembering veterans as well as current servicemembers who serve our country with such valor, determination and patriotism,” Ledecky said. Another guest of Ledecky’s on Veterans Day was NBA Legend Shaquille O’Neal, who formally announced his Big Chicken brand will make its New Yorkarea debut at the arena. O’Neal was joined by Donald Rosner, owner of Huntingtonbased Blue Line Deli & Bagels, which collaborated with Big Chicken on a specialty sandwich for the arena.

News brief

Courtesy Girl Scouts of Nassau County

1136493

On Nov. 1, the Girl Scouts of Nassau County held a ribbon cutting ceremony to unveil their latest initiative that will combat learning loss and promote social and mental health amid the pandemic. The Traveling Trefoil, named after the famous cookie and the Girl Scout logo is a van, which will be fully equipped with every aspect of the Girl Scout Experience. It will travel from community to community so girls can participate in all the empowering and inspiring activities while the Girl Scouts continue to pivot due to the pandemic. The van will include everything needed to lead Girl Scouts through the many STEM, life-skills training, healthy living, arts, executive-skill building and career preparation programs that have made Girl Scouts special for generations. In addition, over the next few months, the van will be fully customized with program supplies, internet connectivity and state-ofthe-art technology so every Girl Scout will have access to the same quality content wherever they are. Benefits of mobilizing our mission include fighting learning loss caused by the pandemic and providing a support system closer to home by bringing Girl Scouts to the girl’s communities. More than fifty Girl Scouts from throughout Nassau County attended to celebrate the introduction of this exciting new initiative and get a glimpse of the Traveling Trefoil. They engaged in various activities, including Mask Making, Juliette Gordon Low Bingo Trivia, Compass Outdoor Activity and Digital Leadership Activities, throughout the event. The mobile programming unit was possible due to a generous CARES Act grant allocated by the Town of Hempstead.

Some parents worry about Covid-19 vaccine Continued from front page Sinai South Nassau Hospital to arrange for the VaxMobile to provide access to the pediatric Covid vaccine,” said Dr. Shari Camhi, superintendent of schools. Final approval of the vaccine came four days after the Food and Drug Administration granted emergency use authorization of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. Children ages 5 to 11 receive two 10-microgram doses administered 21 days apart, a third of the adolescent and adult dose. According to the CDC, dosages are determined by age, not size or weight, and children should receive a dose based on their age on the day of vaccination. Certain parents are still on the fence, however, over vaccinating their kids. Elizabeth Douje vaccinated her children already, as they are older than 11 years; however, she expressed some reservations. “I do feel children under the age 10 may be too early…I wouldn’t have if they were under 10,” she said. “How could they test the long-term side effects that quickly?” stated Steven Davis on social media. “There are countless class-action lawsuits about drug side effects. All those were approved safe at one point.” Pediatric clinical trials for the vaccine, which included more than 3,000 children who received it, found it to be 90.7 percent effective in preventing symptomatic Covid-19. Safety data from the trials found the most common reactions were pain at the injection site, fatigue and headache, as reactions were mostly mild or moderate. According to the Mayo Clinic and CDC findings, the Covid vaccine can prevent children from getting and spreading the virus, and if a child tests positive, the vaccine could prevent severe illness and long-term complications. Additionally, children with other health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and asthma, might be at higher risk of serious illness if infected by Covid-19. White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeff Zients said during a virtual White House briefing last week that 15 million child-sized doses of the Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine already are being moved from Pfizer’s freezers and facilities to distribution centers. And while not mandated, the federal government is providing the vaccine free of charge to all people living in the United States, regardless of their immigration or health insurance status.

County officials to focus on vaccinating children Approximately 95 percent of Nassau County residents over the age of 18 have received at least one Covid-19 vaccine dose, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran announced last week. The designation gives Nassau County the highest adult vaccination rate of all sixty-two counties in New York State, according to the New York State Department of Health. Comparatively, 79.7 percent of adults in the United States have received at least one vaccine dose. “I’m proud that Nassau County has led the way in vaccinations since Day 1,” Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said in a press release. “We are committed to keeping up our momentum. Our high vaccination rate is saving lives and helping spur a strong economic recovery.” The County’s high vaccination rate is a “prime example of public health

at its finest,” Nassau County Commissioner of Health, Dr. Lawrence Eisenstein, said in a press release. “Community partners, healthcare providers, business owners, and the general public working together to make their community a safer and healthier place. That is undoubtedly something to be proud of.” With so many vaccinated adults in Nassau, county officials are now focused on increasing vaccination rates among e l i g i bl e yo u t h , a g e s Laura 12-17, according to a press release. As a part of the State’s #VaxToSchool program, residents that are between the ages of 12 to 17 who get vaccinated at the County’s participat-

ing events will receive gift cards for Amazon, movie theatres and other incentives after receiving each shot. By increasing vaccination rates among residents ages 12 to 17, Nassau will “stay ahead of the virus and keep our communities safe,” Curran said. Earlier this year, Nassau County rolled out a Student Vaccination Initiative, which has vaccinated thousands of eligible students through pop-up events. The Student Vaccination InitiaCurran tive engaged and trained youth ambassadors to support and encourage peers to roll up their sleeves. To further increase vaccinations among adults, Curran and the Nassau

County Department of Health recently launched a program which offers onsite vaccination events to businesses. The program is open to all businesses, restaurants, shops and more, and offers free in-house vaccinations by appointment to all eligible employees and family members. The vaccination program has been utilized by large companies, warehouses, franchises and Herald Community Newspapers. Businesses can inquire about the program by calling 516-227-9570. In addition to pop-up vaccination events, the County continues to hold weekly vaccination clinics for the general public every Wednesday at the Department of Health in Mineola.

St. Christopher church hosts blood drive By Karina Kovac kkovac@liherald.com

Church of St. Christopher, along and Knights of Columbus Daniel J. Bradley Council, partners with New York Blood Center for a community blood drive. A nationwide blood shortage has agencies like the New York Blood Center asking for urgent donations in all communities. Blood Center Supervisor Rashgene Gazi-White explains that blood has been diminishing in hospitals because there were no donations received during the pandemic. Usually, a high school blood drive or workplace drive would boost blood pints given, but the pandemic put donations on hold while patients Kerry still needed lifeWilliaMS saving blood. donor “Burn victims and open heart surgery patients, they all need blood--we’re all here in the field trying to collect the necessary pints,” Gazi-White said, expressing the importance of donating and giving back as The New York Blood Center supplies blood to over 200 hospitals in the states of New York and New Jersey. Some in attendance donate as often as they can within reason, and some walked downstairs at St. Christopher’s church after mass on a whim to do a good deed. Mike Brady of the Knights of Columbus Daniel J. Bradley Council is in the first school of thought. He helps by donating blood and coordinating community blood drives and other fundraising events, such as the upcoming Christmas tree sale, he stated, “I donate on a regular basis…you can donate every 54 days--it’s a small thing to do as far as time.” Brady said the Knights of Columbus hold a blood drive somewhere in the community every six months, “This is our November drive then we’ll have another in June--we get about 55 pints each drive.” Parishioner Maryanne Wilson was attending church when she noticed the

parishioners maryanne Wilson and Kerry Williams enjoy refreshments after donating.

St. Christopher’s blood drive draws in community saves lives; I wish there were more people

Continued from page 12 here.” While donating is not a one-sided process, the donor gets in return a physical and six different tests done, including HIV, Hepatitis and other infections. Vaccination status does not matter in donating. “We do a series of questions regarding Covid, but if you had the vaccine, you can donate blood; if unvaccinated, we can still take your blood,” assures Gazi-White. Gazi-White approximates the dona-

tions equal 25 pints. With five lives saved with each pint, about 125 lives were saved at the event. To donate you must be 17 years old, or 16 with parental consent. Seniors can donate till 76 years of age, but older donors require medical clearance from their doctor. With Gazi-White’s 23 years at the blood center, he says the need is always there and certain events like the pandemic shorten reserves. “We need the blood, we’re always out in the community,” he added. People interested in donating can go to ww.nybc.org and register.

A. This problem gets me steamed. Among the types of heating you can use in your home, steam is the most efficient. Thirty-seven percent of all fossil fuels burned in the U.S., just for commercial purposes, are burned to create steam. Huge steam plants are hiding among other large buildings in every major city in this country, and yet, little onte eeper by little, the interest in passing steam knowledge to the next generation is dwindling, enough so that many plumbers say they don’t touch steam systems. What steams me more is that the evolving technology makes it so environmentally friendly, through the implementation of zero-emission, closed-loop boilers using only hydrogen and oxygen as the fuel source, but training to get this technology up and running is nearly nonexistent. Our education system is geared toward inflated college tuition for white-collar positions that foster the need for more foreign laborers to do manual work, and more people unable to land a job for the oversaturated white-collar job market. Industrial-arts classes have been eliminated, and even though not everybody is college-bound, the education of people to fix our cars, run our factories and install steam boilers is lacking. Most manual jobs have evolved to computerization with more sophisticated technology, yet we are not preparing people to address these professions. Steam accounts for such a high amount of our economy, from food processing to pulp and paper, chemical production, petroleum refining and energy production, that I have to wonder why we can’t do better. I had a steam system in my home and was persuaded to convert to a water system. That system has never been as efficient, as energy-saving or as uniform as the steam system was. I changed systems because the entire home was renovated — otherwise, in hindsight, steam was still the better choice. Wall-hung boilers are “tank-less,” meaning that they have a small cauldron in them that you can hold in your hand, and when a faucet is turned on, for example, the water begins to flow toward the faucet, through the tiny cauldron (much smaller than the ancient boiler’s cauldron), and instantly heats. Since the water heats in an instant, these boilers don’t require a wasteful hot-water holding tank that heats up every time the thermostat says it’s cooling, even while you’re away from the house. There are plumbers who still do steam systems, and it’s worth it for you to call them. Good luck!

Q. We are trying to decide what to do about our boiler, which is ancient. Our plumber, whom we’ve used for years, says he won’t work with our steam system. He suggested a new wall-hung boiler that he says is very efficient, but even though the boiler part is less money, the radiators will all have to come out and new piping will have to be put in, at a very high cost. What would you suggest, and why can’t we just change the boiler?

o the relief of many in the political world, the 2021 elections are behind us. Whether your candidate won or lost, our mailboxes will no longer be stuffed with attack brochures, and we can be happy that the robo calls have ended. But if you think the strategizing and mischief is over, you are mistaken. During the coming months and most of 2022, legislative bodies all over America will be participating in a process called redistricting. Every 10 years, upon the completion of the federal JERRY census, legislatures at every level KREMER begin drawing the maps that will decide who will represent you in Congress and at the state and local level for the next 10 years. The redrawing of local maps is generally ignored by the public, and the only way you find out about it is when you enter the voting booth and find that your favorite elected official no longer represents you.

Is the redistricting a fair process? Generally not. In some states, the maps are drawn under the supervision of an independent commission, and every effort is made to see that districts are balanced and no incumbent is given an unfair advantage. But, generally, partisans whose goal is to hold on to power or increase it draw the maps. That practice is known as gerrymandering, and it is intended to give one party an unfair advantage. Gerrymandering will play a major role in deciding who will control the next Congress, and possibly many future Congresses until 2030. Some states have already finished drawing their maps, and are in court defending their machinations. Others, including New York, are in the midst of the map-making process. Because the current census left our state short of the required number of voters per district, New York will lose one member of the House of Representatives in the 2023 Congress. While no one knows now what New York’s congressional districts will look

like, it’s a sure bet that our state will play a pivotal role in determining whether the Democrats maintain control of Congress — while, at the same time, a number of Republican incumbents will likely face the possibility of primary contests, and potential extinction. I don’t claim to be an expert, but I know from personal experience what redistricting can do to your political career. Back in the 1970s, the State Legislature was controlled by the Republicans. As a Democrat, I expected the worst, and those fears came true. My district, most of which was in the middle of Nassau County, running from Long Beach to East Rockaway, was combined with the Five Towns, which was represented by the late Eli Wager, a fellow Democrat. That deliberate drawing of the lines led to a bitter primary battle with a colleague and friend. Only one of us could survive a primary, and I was fortunate to win that battle, and went on to become a member of the Albany power structure as chairman of the Assembly’s Ways and Means

know from personal experience what redistricting can do to your career.

Committee. Happily, Wager went on to enjoy a successful career as a Nassau County Supreme Court justice — but we learned how nasty redistricting can be. No community is exempt from the district map-makers. Following the 2010 census, the County Legislature redrew its maps and cut the Five Towns in half. One portion of the community is now attached to the Elmont area, and the balance remains with the Long Beach area. Because map-making is kept under wraps, there isn’t much the average citizen can do about this legislative sleight of hand. There are usually public hearings before a final map is unveiled but they aren’t well publicized, and the party in power isn’t going to broadcast the new lines. Redistricting has been a dirty word for as long as I’ve been on this planet, and nothing in the years to come will make it any easier to accept. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

Sticks and stones — words can never harm me

ou cannot burn a book in 2021. You can burn the paper and the ink and the cardboard, but in our world of e-books, you cannot ever kill the words and ideas that an author created. That makes the news of last week’s book burning threat in Virginia both an empty gesture and a symbolic but devastating embrace of censorship. It says, we are the thought police. We will decide what your children can read. We are here to destroy the ideas we do not want them to see RANDI and hear. KREISS We have always struggled with censorship and book banning in this country, but this next step, to set fire to books we don’t approve of, is an homage to the Nazis and every authoritarian regime that tries to suppress freedom. Last week, the Spotsylvania County school board in Virginia advocated for burning certain books. According to the Free Lance-Star newspaper, in a unanimous vote, the school staff would decide which books were “objectionable.” Rabih Abuismail and Kirk Twigg, two board members, suggested burning the books

that have been removed. “I think we should throw those books in a fire,” Abuismail reportedly said. Two years ago in this space, I wrote, “We can almost hear the crisp curling of burning pages in the dangerous rhetoric coming from President Donald Trump. His people aren’t burning books yet, but it could happen. When authoritarian leaders consolidate power, they always kill ideas first.” Book burning is a cliché of dictatorial control. It didn’t begin with the Nazis, although they did it better than most, with the burning of tens of thousands of books under the leadership of the German Student Union in the 1930s. The burned books were deemed dangerous because of antiNazi ideas. Authoritarian censorship starts by discrediting legitimate news sources and reliable reporting. From ancient Alexandria to the decade-long Chinese Cultural Revolution, throughout all modern wars, to the bonfires of rare manuscripts by Isis in Mosul in 2015, ashes are all that remain of millions of irreplaceable works. Book burnings are fueled by ignorance, and fear is the accelerant. Historically, book bans foreshadow other fires to come; therefore, it is more important than

ever to stand up for intellectual freedom. Trump loyalists, proliferating in our communities, call out opposing ideologies as unpatriotic or treasonous, just as their leader targeted the press as “enemies” of America. Trump’s rants and actions triggered a fire alarm, and now the flames are rising from places like Virginia. In Texas, the governor has ordered school officials to review schoolbooks for “pornography and other obscene content.” He did not define pornography or obscenity. In my own life, books have been the oxygen, the food and light that helped me grow as a human being. When I was an eighth-grade English teacher in Hewlett in 1970, a parent on Open School Night stood up and publicly protested my teaching of “The Diary of Anne Frank” because it mentions menstruation. We discussed his concerns privately, and he eventually saw the merits of the book. That process, of goodwill and a respectful exchange of opposing ideas, seems to have given way to rancor and vitriol. A civilized society doesn’t burn books. We talk about them. My grandson is reading “The Things They Carried,” by Tim O’Brien, in sophomore English. It is brutal, violent, deeply disturbing and abso-

ot every book is appropriate for every reader, but burning them? I don’t think so.

lutely essential for an understanding of war and the legacy of trauma. Great books disturb the field. When school boards and parents and teachers disagree, I say put down the matches and begin a conversation. The more distressing question is, how do we move forward as an intellectually free democracy when a school board and the parents and the community agree to ban or burn books they deem inappropriate? That would be a dark place indeed. Over the years, many books have been banned in the U.S., for reasons ranging from sexually explicit material to homosexual material to challenging religious ideas to depictions of racism, nudity, Marxism, drugs and alcohol and Satanism. Don’t read me wrong: Not every book is appropriate for every reader, especially children; however, no book should be banned. Burning? I don’t think so. The book the Virginia school board wants to burn is “Beloved,” by Toni Morrison, perhaps the most profound and moving novel about slavery in America. How do we push back at the knownothing, anti-intellectual yahoos lighting the pyres? We read. And we talk. And we comfort ourselves with the knowledge that in our e-book world, paper books may go up in smoke, but the ideas will float in the digital clouds forever. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

Covid is still raging — get your shot ASAP

et’s stop equating the coronavirus with the flu, please. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the flu kills, on average, 36,000 people a year. Right now, not yet two years after Covid19 swept across the planet, it is still killing more than a thousand people a day in the U.S. From Nov. 7 to 13, an average of 1,128 people died in America per day. If the death toll were to continue at that rate, one year from now, another 412,000 people would have succumbed to this disease. The virus has already killed 762,000 Americans. We mustn’t forget these horrible and horrifying statistics. It seems of late that we have, however. We’re so eager to

carry on with our normal lives that we forget this disease is still raging across this country, and around the world. We’re now seeing Covid-19 cases rapidly tick up across Western Europe. A rising rate on the other side of the Atlantic has thus far been a precursor of things to come here in the U.S. This past week, we saw the infection rate rise across Long Island and New York state. As of press time, it stood at nearly 3 percent statewide. That’s lower than it was earlier in the fall, but still significantly higher than it was in June, when we saw a lull in new cases and the rate dropped to less than 1 percent. No one can force anyone to take a vaccine, but understand this: We will only overcome this pandemic through their widespread use. The stubborn reluc-

tance to be vaccinated on the part of many holdouts is jeopardizing public health. It’s as simple as that. So, we urge the unvaccinated to get a vaccine — and a flu shot — as soon as possible. And if you’re already vaccinated and coming up for your booster, get it. We understand the reluctance on the part of some parents to vaccinate their children. It’s one thing to take the shot — and accept the minimal risks — yourself. It’s another to impose those possible risks on your kids. The thing is, the risk of falling ill with the coronavirus — and potentially spreading it to vulnerable populations, including immuno-compromised children — outweighs any risks from the vaccines themselves. The bottom line: Get vaccinated, now, not later.

The New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which is charge of the state’s solar programs, is offering special funding to help homeowners offset the cost of a new fee on rooftop solar installations charged by local power companies — but it’s for upstate solar users, not Long Islanders. Isn’t the state supposed to be encouraging solar, according to the ambitious plans laid out by Andrew Cuomo, when he was governor, to drastically reduce the state’s carbon footprint? What gives? NYSERDA officials say the agency has no jurisdiction over the Long Island Power Authority’s solar power plan, and thus cannot offer a financial offset here, according to Newsday. The “transition” fee, as it’s being called, is expected to amount to $5 to $10 a month, starting in January, on solar systems installed after Jan. 1. In 2019, Cuomo signed the Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act. The state now aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 85 percent by 2050, with 100 percent zero-emission electricity production by 2040. Rooftop solar figures centrally into the state’s plans. So, why are local power companies like LIPA charging a fee on new solar installations? It’s not entirely clear. World leaders convened in recent weeks in Glasgow, Scotland, to hash out a new climate agreement that, among

other measures, seeks to reduce the release of methane gas from any number of sources and the use of coal as a major fuel source to produce electricity. The world, as the summit made clear, is racing toward potential climate disaster, and swift action is required. The clearly unfair treatment of Long Island’s future solar users stands to

potentially slow the spread of a technology that would only help New York meet its climate goals and obligations. LIPA shouldn’t impose any fee on new solar users. At the same time, it seems, NYSERDA is abandoning its obligation to Long Island electric customers. It really should step in and step up here.

opinions

recently joined five Long Island high school students for a visit to the Joseph Lloyd Manor in Lloyd Harbor, the 18th-century site where many enslaved people of African descent lived. The visit yielded a fascinating discussion with significant implications for education on Long Island. The five diverse students are part of ERASE Racism’s Student Task Force, a student-led initiative that advances racial and socioeconomic equity on issues that impact their ELAinE everyday lives. The students GRoss came from four school districts in Nassau and Suffolk counties. The visit was part of a series of similar events happening across the country called Teach the Truth Day of Action. What was initially so striking to me was that none of the students knew that slavery had existed on Long Island. They were surprised that they had not learned such a notable historical fact in school. The extent to which the history of actions detrimental to people of color

has been left out of history books was underscored by this year’s 100th anniversary of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, which destroyed 35 blocks of a renowned Black community and killed as many as 300 Black people. As the History Channel stated, “The riot reflected terribly on the city and subsequently wasn’t included in history books or newspapers for decades.” A survey conducted by The Oklahoman this year found that the vast majority of Oklahomans learned about the massacre outside of school. There is a growing national debate about the extent to which school curricula should address the less-than-noble aspects of American history, especially as they relate to the experiences of people of color. On one side of the debate is New York state, whose Education Department has taken substantial steps to recognize diversity, equity and inclusion in curricula. In 2018, the state published a framework for culturally responsive curricula, on which I had been asked to comment while it was in draft form. The framework supports local districts in creating curricula that elevate historically marginalized voices, affirm diverse identities, perspectives and cultures, assure

rigor and foster independent learning. This past April, the State Education Department issued a second document, “The NYS Board of Regents Framework on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in New York’s Schools: A Call to Action.” In May, it approved a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Framework and Policy Statement, which requires all school districts to develop and implement diversity, equity and inclusion policies. On the other side of the issue, eight states have passed legislation — and another 20 are considering it — that directs educators to avoid teaching about the role of racism and oppression in American history. Much of the passed and proposed legislation contains vague language that allows for a student — or a parent — to state that he or she experienced “discomfort” with the discussion of race and for a teacher to be deemed guilty without much recourse. How, after all, could the teacher prove that the student did not feel discomfort? New Hampshire’s House Bill 2 explicitly forbids a teacher to state that an individual might be “inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.” This stands in opposi-

egislators focus on protecting students from the reality of American history.

tion to the current consensus of scientific research on how racism operates. These legislative efforts are focused on protecting students from the reality of American history, as if they could not handle the truth. But in my experience working with hundreds of Long Island high school students, they relish the opportunity to explore race and its implications for America’s past, present and future. As a white student who was with me at Joseph Lloyd Manor wrote, “Our past consists of more than just heroes . . . Not allowing us to discuss and explore ‘sensitive topics’ avoids essential conversations. Developing a safe learning environment is impossible if accurate information is restricted.” As this national debate unfolds, it is vital to hear from America’s students. Those whom I talk to aren’t looking to be protected from the truth, but rather are eager to explore it. They know that they will inherit a world in which race remains an inescapable reality. They are not looking for comfort. They are eager for a thorough understanding of diverse perspectives that will be essential to their success in the workplace. Why should education deprive them of that? Elaine Gross author is president of the civil rights organization ERASE Racism.

LETTERs An expert has issues with the East Side Access project To the Editor: The letter to the editor, “East Side Access is a year from completion” (Nov. 4-10), omitted critical facts. Since 2001, costs for the Long Island Rail Road’s East Side Access project have grown from $3.5 billion to $11.2 billion today. This does not include $4 billion more for “readiness projects” carried off line from the official project budget. The opening service date slipped from 2009 to December 2022. In our post-Covid-19 world, 60,000 new LIRR riders in December 2022 remains doubtful. Riders saving 40 minutes would depend on how long it took to exit the train, and how many blocks they walk to transfer to a subway or bus before reaching a final destination. Travel time from Jamaica to Grand Central Terminal was 27 minutes versus 20 minutes to Penn Station. The subway from Penn Station one stop to Times Square transferring to the 42nd Street Shuttle arriving in GCT is seven minutes or less. Many will continue telecommuting from home, part or full-time. There will be fewer face-to-face meetings and conferences, with increased use of teleconferences. Manhattan-based corporations continue downsizing. Others are relocating employees to suburban offices closer to home.
