Parents debate effect of masks Ruling left many ‘unclear’ on mandate status By RoBERt tRAVERSo rtraverso@liherald.com

After growing accustomed to the statewide school mask mandate for nearly five months, students at schools in Elmont and Franklin Square, along with their parents, were confused about whether mask wearing remained mandatory on Jan. 25, the day after a State Supreme Court judge struck down Gov. Kathy Hochul’s mask mandate for state schools. Although an appeals court judge suspended the lower court’s ruling nullifying the mask mandate, whether mask

wearing was still required in l o c a l s ch o o l s re m a i n e d unclear to many parents and students, and some continued to debate the effectiveness of masking in schools. “I’m sure that parents and educators are equally frustrated about the conflicting guidelines we continue to receive during the pandemic,” the Elmont School District said in a pop-up message posted to its website early Jan. 25, before the appellate court ruling kept the mandate in effect. The district said that mask wearing would remain mandatory in Elmont schools. “Until we can get clarification

from the State Education Department,” the message read, “the mask mandate remains in effect for the Elmont UFSD.” The Franklin Square district shared a statement with students’ parents early Jan. 25 that said it would cease enforcing the mask mandate in light of the Supreme Court judge’s ruling, which had not yet been suspended. The State Education Department issued a statement at the same time calling on schools to continue to follow the mandate. “Is it for schools? For the state? For Nassau County? It Continued on page 3

Back-and-forth on masks leave many confused was unclear,” Mike Gayle of Elmont, whose two daughters attend schools in the Elmont district and the Sewanhaka Central High School District, said of the state of the mandate on the morning of Jan. 25. For some, the confusion renewed doubts about whether requiring students to wear masks during school helps mitigate the spread of Covid-19, and what effect mask wearing has on the physical and mental well-being of students. “It doesn’t work — that’s number one,” Crystal Neiderman of Franklin Square, whose two daughters, one in kindergarten and one in first grade, attend Polk Street School, said of the effectiveness of mask wearing in schools. Neiderman said she believed many students were struggling to breathe and were suffering from headaches, stomachaches and other issues because of mask wearing. “It’s horrible,” Neiderman said, adding that her first-grader had asthma that cleared up before the pandemic but returned during the 2020-21 school year, which she attributed to mask wearing. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises that masks are effective in reducing the spread of the virus when worn consistently and correctly, and recommends that students and teachers wear them regardless of vaccination status. Neiderman said she was surprised when she saw a photo of her daughter’s class on Jan. 25, shared online by her teacher, showing her daughter wearing a mask. “The teacher said do whatever you want,” Neiderman said, explaining that her daughter, who left school unmasked, was instead asked by her friends to put on a mask.

what you need to know about the effectiveness of masks ■ Medical or surgical masks block contact with droplets and sprays that may contain germs. They also filter large particles in the air when the wearer breathes in.

At A news conference, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman urged Gov. Kathy Hochul to not pursue the suspension of a State Supreme Court judge’s ruling that struck down her mask mandate. The ruling was temporarily blocked on Jan. 25. Neiderman expressed frustration with what she described as the normalization of mask-wearing in the children’s minds. “My kids only know masks in schools,” she said, adding that she believed some children have become afraid to remove their masks. “Lots of parents say there are kids suffering from anxiety from masks, but what about students suffering from anxiety because of no masks?” Gayle asked, referring to other students, who, he said, may be concerned about the removal of the mask mandates amid the pandemic. Gayle said that his daughters, who are in ninth and fourth grade, don’t need to be told to wear a mask, and feel comfort-

able doing so. Although he is in favor of the mask mandate, he said he is eager for pandemic restrictions to be lifted as the number of cases of Covid-19 across Nassau County continues to decline. “What I don’t want is people to get used to this,” he said, referring to measures such as mask wearing and social distancing. While Gayle, who lamented that the debate over masking has become a political issue, suggested that allowing individual school districts to decide whether to require masks may be a solution, he suggested another solution: respect. “Why can’t we just respect people, mask or no mask?” he said.

■ In a nationwide analysis of data collected from early July to early September of last year, counties across the U.S. without school mask requirements experienced larger increases in pediatric Covid-19 case rates (18.53 more cases per 100,000 population) compared with counties with school mask requirements. ■ Wearing a medical mask does not increase the level of carbon dioxide in the air you breathe. ■ A study examining the infection rate of Covid-19 among eight public K-12 school districts in Massachusetts during the 2020-21 school year found an unadjusted rate of 11.7 percent for unmasked versus 1.7 percent for masked interactions. ■ The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends masking for students and teachers regardless of vaccination status.

At Elmont High, a course on African diaspora continued from front “We felt it was needed just to have an understanding of African culture,” he said, adding that alumni who visit the high school often say they wished they had learned more about the subject. While another elective focuses on social issues facing the Black community in America today, Nuara said that students enjoy the African diaspora class because of its focus on the less pressing aspects of African and Black experience. “They are enjoying looking at the positive aspects of the African experience also,” he said. Kareem Agoro, who taught the class last year, said the history of African empires is largely forgotten in today’s society. While the course focuses primarily on the African diaspora throughout the world, he said, the history of African “greatness” in antiquity is detailed extensively through a focus on African empires that dominated the continent long before the rise of the Western world and Africa’s colonization. “Africa featured thriving civilizations,” Agoro said, adding that African nations established trade relations early with Asia and Europe, a topic that is discussed in the class. Agoro said he focused on the changes that took place in Africa when European colonization began, as well as the eventual mingling of African cultures and the “sharing of ideas” with those of the Western world. Ultimately, however, he said, “The class focuses on how Africans thrive in other parts of the world.”

frAnk nuArA, bAck right, the chair of the social studies department at the high school, said students are fond of the African diaspora course. The class wraps up nicely, Agoro said, with discussion of the “positive impacts” of African Americans to U.S. society. Students learn about their musical and culinary contributions, he said, and key individuals throughout African-American history.

The class is important because it offers students the opportunity to understand themselves — and one other — better, Agoro said. “So we all know about each other and the origins of Africa,” he said, summarizing the course’s purpose. “We forget about Africa’s impact.”

When four Elmont high school students were struck by a car in October 2018, leaving two in critical condition, community members began to call for safety improvements to Elmont’s streets, as many residents and local students have grown fearful of walking along these roads. After years of comprehensive road studies and walkthroughs between local elected officials and residents, a recently installed traffic light in front of St. Boniface Church, located off of Elmont Road and Dutch Broadway, will be functional within the next two months. Mimi Pierre-Johnson, president of the Elmont Cultural Center and a community leader, welcomed this development and said that traffic safety has been one of the Elmont community’s “top priorities” for years. Before the pandemic, Pierre-Johnson said, she and other community members were mobilizing to act on this issue. After the Town of Hempstead participated in a walkthrough of the area, the speed limit on Dutch Broadway near Elmont Memorial High School was set at 20 miles per hour, lower than the previous speed limit of 30 miles per hour. Pierre-Johnson and community members saw this as a step forward, but they planned to push for further reforms before the pandemic struck, delaying their efforts. Pierre-Johnson stressed that while she is grateful for the new traffic light, the community hopes further safety measures will be added to additional streets across Elmont. The process of studying the dangers of a road or intersection and installing safety features such as a traffic light “often takes too long,” Pierre-Johnson said. “The

t at i o n … a n o t h e r year goes by,” she said, adding that she hopes further changes are not hindered. “Gover nment work takes time,” said Solages, who deemed the situation an emergency in 2018 after the four local students were struck. “We are now seeing the seeds we planted start to grow,” he said of the new traffic light. Pierre-Johnson said the major concern of the community is the safety of children walking to and from school. “When I drive now, my mind goes differently,” PierreJohnson said, adding that Elmont residents are fearful of walking along many active streets across the community. “It’s a fearful thing for parents and students,” she added. “Along this intersection and as you go east on Dutch Broadway you will see a number of traffic and safety improvements. But it’s up to motorists to drive more carefully,” Solages wrote in a Facebook post, stressing that safe driving is key to the safety of students and residents walking and driving along Elmont’s roads. Pierre-Johnson agreed, saying she often warns residents of the potential consequences of reckless driving. “Don’t be the person who kills your child’s friend or neighbor,” she said she often tells local residents.

olages, who called the situation an “emergency” after four local students were struck by a car on Halloween 2018, said the safer driving by motorists is essential.

New head coach Pete Lawson was happy he would not inherit his predecessor’s headaches, as this winter’s Elmont girls’ basketball team had doubled in size from spring, when exiting head coach Tom Mango’s Spartans – two years removed from back-to-back Long Island Class A crowns – limped to a 4-4 finish with just seven active players. Sure enough, a new supply of talent did the trick, as Lawson’s restocked Spartans surged into the season 4-2, led by guards Rae Sawyer and Keilah Watkins, and fellow fourth year-starting senior forward Orobo Ogbovoh. A 54-51 win at Carey on Dec. 14 marked a three-game win streak for Elmont in its Nassau Conference A2 opener, sending the Spartans in high spirits into the holiday break. But by early January, Lawson would be reaching for the aspirin. Of the Spartans’ veteran troika, only team No. 2 scorer Ogbovoh (9.3 points per game) remains, as third-place Elmont (8-7, 5-3 A2) finds its forces – all too familiarly – whittled by injury down to eight players entering the stretch. Crucially, Spartans scoring leader Sawyer (11.9 ppg) and catalyst Watkins (7.1 ppg) have been sidelined since mid-December, and neither is certain to return as Elmont – currently in line for a postseason berth – attempts to thwart rivals’ opportunistic bids in the regular season’s closing weeks. “Missing two key players, it’s a challenge,” Lawson said. “We haven’t really gotten over that hump yet. Especially without Rae, we’re not as competitive as we’d like to be. Her scoring potential and intensity, we haven’t been able to duplicate that. But we’re working on it.” Ogbovoh – not unaccustomed to carrying the Spartans offensively – had averaged 10.2 points the past two weeks before Elmont’s 55-33 loss at Calhoun Jan. 27. In Sawyer’s stead, juniors Aryanna Pierre (5.6 ppg) and Taylah Farquharson (6.0 ppg) have platooned at point guard for Elmont. Pierre’s 12 points against Sewanhaka Jan. 8, and Farquharson’s 10 against Carey Jan. 19 were season highs for the

OROBO OGBOvOh, lEfT, chipped in 7 points on Jan. 19 as Elmont moved closer to clinching a playoff spot with a victory over Carey. first-year starters. “Orobo does her thing,” Lawson said. “You never have to worry about her giving 100 percent, because she does it all the time. Aryanna is capable of running the point guard position effectively. Taylah is a tenacious defender and has nice size and skills at the guard position.” Though they would need assistance from the stretched-thin Spartans, two teams stand a chance of squeezing Elmont out of the picture. A postseason passport is given to teams who finish topfour in the conference, or with a league

record not lower than .500. Both Carey (6-10, 5-6 A2), which lost twice to Elmont, and Roslyn (7-8, 4-5 A2), which lost once, remain very much in contention – with Roslyn getting a chance at revenge hosting Elmont Feb. 11 in the regular-season finale. “The team right now is learning to jell, building a new cohesiveness,” said Lawson, who said Sawyer (back) could return within a week, but offered no conjecture on Watkins (ankle). “I feel the crew we have can get the job done. They’re confident, and I’m proud of them.”

Robotics club wins big at qualifying tournament

FRANKLIN SQUARE/ELMONT HERALD — February 3, 2022

The Senior Robotics Club of the Sewanhaka Central High School District, whose team name is the RoboPandas, participated in and won top awards at the FIRST Tech Challenge Regional Qualifying Tournament, which was held virtually between Jan. 10 and Jan. 16. “FIRST Tech Challenge teams are tasked with designing, building, programming and operating robots to compete in a head-to-head challenge in an alliance format,” a statement released by the school district read. The students presented their work to a panel of judges, who assessed both the technical and non-technical aspects of the robots the team created. The focus of this year’s challenge, called “Freight Frenzy” and presented by Raytheon Technologies, is the future of transportation. Teams and their robots scored points by loading and delivering items across a 12-by-eight foot field. “For their technical prowess and professionalism, the RoboPandas earned the First Place Inspire Award, the First Place Top Ranked Award, the Second Place Think Award, the Second Place Connect Award, the Second Place Innovate Award, the Second Place Motivate Award, the Second Place Design Award and the Third Place Control Award,” the statement read.

Who are you speaking to: Spouse or friend? Put down that phone – it’s time to take a quiz. Let’s see how you do! Choose A or B: Are you speaking to your spouse or friend? ■ You’re miffed that you’ve been kept waiting twenty minutes. ■ What happened? I was getting worried. If you’re running late, in the future please send me a text so I know you’re okay. ■ What’s wrong with you? I told you we were meeting at 6. Can’t you ever be on time? ■ You hate when people go on and on telling their stories with way too much detail. ■ I can’t listen anymore. Can’t you tell me anything without mentioning every little detail? ■ I get it. Your mom was taken aback by her car accident. It must have been tough. ■ You’re out for a lovely dinner. Someone at the table has spilled their drink. Spouse or friend?

not a big deal.” Feel yourself letting go of the fury that’s been building up inside of you.

■ Here’s a napkin to wipe it up. I’m glad it didn’t get all over your clothes. ■ D a m n ! Yo u ’ve h ad enough! Can’t you even hold on to your drink without spilling it?

Person to Person

How did you do? I think you get my point. When we’re annoyed with friends, we typically respond respectfully. But when we’re upset with our spouse, many of us forget our manners, inda responding with angry, nasty retorts. So if you admit to forgetting your manners, here are four ways to soften your response to your spouse – even when his/her behavior gets to you. ■ Take a deep breath. Inhaling slowly, exhaling slowly. Repeat. On the last exhale, say a positive affirmation, like: “It’ll be ok” or “It’s

■ N ow yo u r b o dy ’s less tense. That’s good. T h o u g h yo u ’ r e s t i l l annoyed, your need to be sarcastic or punitive has lessened. Hopefully, you can now become more solution-oriented, as in “If you’re running late, please text me and let me know so I don’t get worried.”

S

■ Yo u c a n a l s o apadin respond in a way that’s emotionally connecting rather than distancing, as in “I get it. Your mom’s been upset. I know she was really shaken up by her car accident.” ■ When you’re no longer flooded with angry feelings, you can think through how you want to respond, rather than reacting from rage. For example, “Perhaps you’ ve had

enough drinks for the evening; I hope you agree.” Yes, at times what our spouses do or don’t do will annoy us. This is inevitable. But how we respond to our spouses’ behavior will make the difference between: ■ feeling lonely or loved ■ feeling connected or distant ■ tensions escalating or diminishing ■ relationship is withering or growing.

County wants you to stay safe while shoveling

NEW EVENT DATE: APRIL 5, 2022

As residents prepare to dig out from the heavy snow brought on by the recent winter storm, Supervisor Don Clavin and members of the Hempstead Town Board are issuing a reminder that shoveling can be hazardous and pose health risks if proper precautions are not taken, and urge residents to follow these safety tips:

ERALD HHERALD

■ Stretch out your arms, legs and back before heading outside. ■ Avoid eating right before shoveling. ■ Avoid smoking while shoveling.

Presented by

■ Shovel slowly and push the snow more frequently than lifting it. If you do lift, lift small amounts at a time, and lift with your legs not your back.

lichoiceawards.com

2021

Winners will be announced LIVE at the Heritage Club at Bethpage & in the Winners Guide Glossy Magazine April 5

■ Take frequent breaks and catch your breath. ■ Pay attention to the heart attack warning signs (according to the American Heart Association): frequent discomfort in the chest, pain in one or both arms, back, jaw, neck or stomach, and breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness. If you experience any of the symptoms listed above, call 9-1-1 “Sometimes when you are shoveling and clearing snow, you can over-exert yourself without realizing it,” Clavin said.

Second grade students at John Street School recently learned about sea turtles and the effects of oil spills on the oceans during a STEM lesson. “The class learned about the life and struggles of sea turtles, as well as how humans can help with wildlife and ocean conservation,” a statement released by the Franklin Square Union Free School District read. The class learned about this by reading “Turtle, Turtle, Watch Out!” After this, students the John Street School students simulated oil spills in their classroom and acted as environmental engineers. “Separated into teams, the students were challenged with removing oil from a pan of water. They utilized sponges, stockings, coffee filters and dish soap to try and remove the oil to save their fish and oceans,” the statement explained. “Although their efforts made a difference, they were unable to completely remove all of the oil, as is true in real life,” said Mrs. Derby, the teacher of the class who participated in the activity. “I believe the students truly learned from this lesson,” she added.

Using a mason jar, baby oil, iridescent glitter, white paint and Alka Seltzer, the kindergartners created their own snow globes,” the statement continued. Students also read “Sneezy the Snowman,” as well as “Snowmen at Night!” and “Snowman,” books that highlight activities that can be done in the snow. Following the in-class readings, students completed the sentence “Winter is when…” and then illustrated a picture.

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.

To place an ad call 516-569-4000 press 5

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.

opinions

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

W

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. He served for 22 years as an officer with the NYPD, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Police Department and the Port Authority Police Department of New York and New Jersey.
