Program to aid people with autism

may 13 - 19, 2021

‘Community project’ is complete F.S. Museum officially opens By NakEEm GRaNT ngrant@liherald.com

THE FRaNklIN SquaRE Historical Society joined with local elected officials and the Franklin Square Civic Association on April 14, who donated a brick to the museum.

The Franklin Square Historical Society was founded in 1976 to preserve the community’s rich history. Once the group had collected artifacts of that history through the years, the next step was to find a place to store and showcase them. So, in 2000, the group, with permission from the Town of Hempstead, designed a building from scratch for the Franklin Square Museum, on Naple Avenue, near Rath Park.

After years of organizing its vast collection, the group was ready to open the museum to the public in March 2020, but the coronavirus pandemic delayed its grand opening. “Believe it or not, that gave each of us on the board an opportunity to work individually in the building and do some of the finishing work,” society Trustee Bill Youngfert said. “We managed to pick up a lot of showcases from stores that were closing, like Lord & Taylor and Sears.

Local residents will have job opportunities at UBS Arena By maTTHEW FERREmI mferremi@liherald.com

With the UBS Arena set to open for the beginning of the 2021-22 National Hockey League season, local officials have created a hiring policy that will emphasize filling jobs at the complex with local residents. According to arena officials, they intend to “fill 30 percent of the jobs with individuals who live within a four-mile radius of the venue.” Residents of Elmont, Valley Stream and surrounding communities are encouraged to apply. The arena at Belmont Park will be the new home of the New

York Islanders, who will play 41 home games per season there starting in the fall of 2021. Construction on the nearly $2 billion redevelopment project began last September. It is expected to generate roughly $25 billion in economic activity over the course of the Islanders’ 25-year lease of the land, and developers have invested $100 million in transit and infrastructure enhancements, including the first new Long Island Rail Road station in almost 50 years. With a maximum capacity of 19,000 for concerts and roughly 17,000 for hockey games, along with an outdoor plaza that can

hold 9,000, the developers are hoping the arena will be a worldclass destination for sports and entertainment events. State Sen. Todd Kaminsky said that employment opportunities at the arena would be crucial for the Elmont economy. “The Belmont Park Redevelopment [Project] will be a game-changer for Elmont and Valley Stream, creating local jobs and spurring economic development,” Kaminsky said. “I encourage residents to apply for these opportunities right in our backyard, and I will continue to advocate for local investment as the project progresses.”

Currently, the arena is seeking a director of operations, a chief engineer, a web and email marketing manager, a vice president for guest experience, an account manager and a technology director, as well as part-time tour guides. It will also be hiring security officers, elevator operators, ticket takers, ushers, utility laborers, carpenters, painters,

electricians, human resources specialists, accountants, payroll coordinators, building operations personnel and premium account staff. State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages, of Elmont, said this is a good time for Elmont residents looking for jobs to polish their resumes. Continued on page 5

Helping to ease the nerves of people with autism

Anthony And MAry Lou Cancellieri introduced “Louie” with members of the Mount Sinai South Nassau staff at a news conference on April 30.

Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital has partnered with RVC Blue Speaks to create a machine that provides a calming atmosphere for people with autism spectrum disorder in the stressful environment that the emergency room can be. “Louie” has a wide array of calming distractions that can help those with ASD cope with the atmosphere. MSSN is complementing Louie with a clinical program meant to cater to the needs of patients with ASD that alleviates communication between their families

and medical care teams to establish comprehensive care plans. A large part of this program with autism charity RVC Blue Speaks was inspired by experiences founders Anthony and Mary Lou Cancellieri had with their grandson, Louis, who the “Louie” machine is named after. A few years ago, Cancellieri and his daughter had a frustrating experience at a hospital on Long Island. When the family brought Louis in for treatment, they were met by an intake person and informed them that little Louis was on the spectrum. “The person said: ‘Does he bite?’ And my daughter was devastated that someone would ask that question,” Anthony said. As a member of the board at MSSN, Anthony said he believed he and RVC Blue Speaks could push for more training to improve care at the hospital for people like Louis. RVC Blue Speaks donated $15,000 to expand the hospital’s Child Life Program and purchase the Vecta System Sensory Station that was dubbed Louie. The machine offers people with ASD multi-sensory options like a rubber ball that controls bubbles in the central water tube, fiber optic strands for people to run their fingers through and noise cancelling headphones. Additionally, “Louie” has a projector, blankets and iPads for those with ASD to use as they wish. Often, they are offered in exchange for the patient’s cooperation with things like shots to incentivize the patient to remain calm. “We really want kids to have a say in their care,” Director of Child Life Ser- AnnMArie vices AnnMadiFrAncescA rie DiFrancesca said. “It’s all Director, about giving Child Life Services kids control and allowing them to communicate with us in a manner that they’re most comfortable with.” The “Louie” platform is wheeled, enabling it to be moved throughout the hospital when the need arises. And at a news conference on April 30, it was revealed that RVC Blue Speaks has agreed to fund a second “Louie” for use at MSSN. “It is our blessing to support the hospital in this initiative knowing that the Vecta Sensory System will help hospital clinical staff provide a more comfortable and stress-free environment for patients with ASD and other special needs,” Anthony Cancellieri said. Cancellieri added that he hopes that the work being done at Mount Sinai South Nassau can be the catalyst for better treatment for those with ASD in hospitals across the country. He is a board member for the eight Mount Sinai hospitals in New York City, where training is also underway to treat patients with ASD in a more compassionate and effective way.

ClAuDIA BoRECky AND David Denenberg, co-directors of the Merrick-based advocacy group Long Island Clean Air, Water and Soil, joined other advocates to call for companion legislation to a State Senate bill that, if passed, would create a public water authority.

Residents rally against hike in water rates By ANDREW GARCIA agarcia@liherald.com

On April 26, roughly 25 New York American Water customers rallied at the Theodore Roosevelt Executive Building in Mineola to decry a fast-approaching rate hike and push the State Assembly towards legislation for a municipal takeover of the company. The rate hike will take effect May 1 and will increase customers’ bills up to 30 percent. It will affect NYAW’s more than 124,000 customers in Nassau County. The rally was a joining of public water advocacy groups from throughout the county, including the Merrick-based Long Island Clean Air, Water and Soil. They gathered after the State Senate successfully passed legislation that creates a path for a new Nassau County Water Authority last week, demanding that the Assembly pass corresponding legislation. “All we’re asking for is clean, reliable and affordable water,” said David Denenberg, co-director of LICAWS. “The average [NYAW] private water customer will see our bills go up almost $400 a year — that’s more than public water customers pay a year.” “We believe that water is a human right — it should not be a for-profit resource,” Margaret Maher, a Merrick resident and a volunteer for Food and Water Watch. “Water should be affordable

ater should be affordable and clean for everyone.

MARGAREt MAhER, RIGht, a resident of Merrick and a New York American Water customer, took part in the rally. and clean for everyone.” “Now we need a corresponding bill to be passed in the Assembly and to offset the 26 percent increase,” said Agatha Nadel, director of the advocacy group North Shore Concerned Citizens. “I urge everyone here and everyone that’s affected to call your assemblymembers; tell him or her to get the job done, and to get the job done now.” Denenberg held a sign that displayed

the rates paid by homeowners on the same block, but with separate water providers. In the example, the homeowner under NYAW’s private service paid nearly $2,500 in a single year, compared to the roughly $500 paid under municipal service. The disparity is due to NYAW’s obligation to pay property and franchise taxes, the burden of which is passed along to their customers. Public municipalities

and its customers are not faced with such burdens. “It is completely unjust and unfair that in 2021, we have a private company selling water to us, which is a basic life need,” said George Pumbar, president of the Glen Head/Glenwood Landing Civic Association. The Senate’s push for the legislation — which they initially tried and failed to include in the state budget — was in response to a study ordered by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and conducted by the state Department of Public Service that reported a public takeover of NYAW is not only feasible, but in residents’ best interests. The DPS recommended that the State Legislature act quickly to remove the “onerous property tax burden” on NYAW’s ratepayers. In the state budget plan, NYAW would have been granted an exemption from a franchise property tax, putting more of a tax burden on ratepayers of other utilities, such as National Grid. But the Assembly blocked the measure based on concerns that residents who are outside of NYAW’s service areas would be affected, including those in Suffolk County. “The bill passed in the Senate would affect Suffolk County residents,” Assemblyman David McDonough, a Republican from Merrick, said. “People who aren’t affected shouldn’t have to pay that.” As the May 1 hike loomed, Denenberg predicted that NYAW may again postpone the increase, as they’ve done multiple times since the pandemic began. “We need the assembly to pass the complementary bill to S989A from the Senate — we need it today,” said Meta Mereday, an activist from Baldwin.

Historical Society eager to showcase its museum chomping at the bit, because they want to get in to see the museum.” After years of preparation, the museum officially opened two weeks ago. Dr. Paul Van Wie, the society’s founder and president, said that the process of establishing the museum dates back to the group’s inception. Van Wie explained that members had interviewed residents who were born in the late 1800s, and that some of the interviewees contributed treasured items that are now on display at the museum (see box). “The Franklin Square Museum is truly a community project,” Van Wie said. “So many groups and organizations have helped the historical society to complete the project, and we are grateful.” The community supported the project through garage sales, fairs, raffles, dinners and many other fundraisers over the years. In addition, students throughout the Franklin Square School District collected more than a million pennies. Tradespeople in the hamlet contributed labor and materials to finish the interior, and Eagle Scouts led projects such as painting the interior, landscaping and installing the flooring. “Now we have a facility which will be a focus of community pride, a center for education, and an enriching experience for old and young,” Van Wie said. Last week, Youngfert met with retired teachers in the community to discuss activities they could organize at the muse-

The society is now inviting its members to the museum in groups of three for 20-minute tours. Youngfert said he hoped that by August or September,

they will be able to invite the public. “It really takes our breath away,” Youngfert said. “So many people helped to make this a reality, so we do remember the work of the people that came before us. It’s going to be such a rich resource for people in the neighborhood and a great addition to the community.”

roughly 30 percent of the new jobs that will be filled at the soon-to-be-opened UBS Arena in Elmont will be for local residents who live within a four-mile radius of the arena.

New job opportunities for residents at UBS Arena continued from front “With the projected opening date for the 2021-22 NHL season at the UBS Arena around the corner, this is a great time for those who are interested in part or fulltime employment to review their resumes, update their references and stay updated on the upcoming opportunities as they become available,” Solages said. “This redevelopment project comes with a local hiring mandate, and we want to ensure that community members have access to these employment opportunities.” Sen. Anna M. Kaplan said she was adamant during the planning of the redevelopment project about setting aside jobs for local residents. “I was insistent that there be a hiring preference for local resi-

dents who live near Belmont when it became time to start filling the many permanent jobs that the project will create,” Kaplan said. “Now that the recruitment process has begun for many of these permanent positions, I urge local residents to see what’s available and consider applying.” Job opportunities will be posted weekly at ubsarena.com/careers. Residents can apply online or by emailing their resumes to careers@ubsarena.com. Virtual resume writing and networking workshops will be held in the coming months, and online job fairs targeting community members will be scheduled starting this summer.

Airpower Museum to host Memorial Day shows In observance of Memorial Day Weekend, the American Airpower Museum in Farmingdale will once again join in the Jones Beach Air Show, flying its “Arsenal of Democracy” warbirds over Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, May 29 and 30.. AAM’s fleet of restored military aircraft will include a B-25 Mitchell Bomber, Douglas C-47 Skytrain troop transporter, Grumman TBM Avenger Torpedo Bomber, Curtiss P-40 Flying Tiger, P-51D Mustang Fighter, AT-6 Texan Warbird and AT28D5 Nomad Vietnam Era Fighter. On May 29 and 30, Hangar 3 will open at 10 a.m. Arrive early, park your car, sign in and enjoy the exhibits. During the morning, visitors will be called outside to watch as pilots start their engines, taxi and lift off, performing fly-bys with Republic Air Traffic Control permission, before leaving to join the Jones Beach Air Show. Have lunch and later on watch as the aircraft return from Jones Beach in the afternoon, touch down and taxi back to Hangar 3. Flight experiences will also be available each day on AAM’s AT-6 Texan and Waco Biplane. AAM will also welcome three visiting U.S. Navy EF/A-18 Super Hornets from May 27 to 30. The Hornets are supersonic combat jets, designed as both fighters and attack aircraft. Exclusive to AAM, Hornets are not in the Jones Beach Air Show and will be on AAM’s ramp all four days. Be there early in the morning as the Hornets touch down at Republic on Thursday, May 27. Hornets are scheduled to depart on May 31 or June 1. AAM’s World War II aircraft will also hold practice flybys Thursday and Friday in the morning and afternoon. According to AAM founder Jeff Clyman, the goal for this four-day salute is two-fold: “To honor the men and women of the ‘Greatest Generation’ who built, maintained and piloted the iconic warbirds of yesteryear in a bold defense of freedom during World War II, as well as active duty military, national guard and reservists who continue this mission and command the skies in

Among the AircrAft featured in the American Airpower Museum’s Memorial Day shows will be the Grumman TBM Avenger, a World War II era fighter plane. advanced supersonic jet aircraft to our present day.” Since everyone cannot be at Jones Beach on Saturday and Sunday, Clyman decided to stage this four-day salute so people on the beach, as well as those closer to home, can enjoy AAM’s warbirds. So, if you want to avoid the Wantagh Parkway crawl to Jones Beach, you can park instead for free in AAM’s lot and along New Highway. The Air Show will also feature a U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbolt II, “The Warthog,” flying over Jones Beach. AAM has its own A-10, the nation’s premier close air support attack aircraft, and it will be display outside Hangar 3, with staff ready to answer questions about its special

features and armaments. Admission for adults is $15; seniors and veterans, $10; and children ages 5 to 12, $8. Tickets and pre-registration are not required, and admission is on a first-come, firstserved basis. The museum can now operate at 100 percent capacity, in accordance with New York’s May 19 lifting of pandemic capacity limits. However, there is still a need for social distancing, and guests must wear face masks and have their temperatures taken at the door. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on all four days, plus AAM will be open Monday, May 31, Memorial Day.

Curran calls for full capacity at beaches There were plenty of people walking the boardwalk and shore of Jones Beach State Park recently, a cool spring day. With a cool breeze and wariness of Covid-19 in the air, many were wearing a light jacket and a mask. In just a few months, this scene may look a bit different, with people in their swimsuits sprawled out on beach towels instead. But whether the beach will be filled at 100 percent capacity, or a limited capacity, remains a mystery. Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and other state and local officials on April 28 called on the state Department of Health to allow beaches across the state to open at 100 percent capacity this summer, in light of the declining number of cases of Covid-19 and the spread of vaccinations. “I feel as long as you’re outdoors and especially with so many people being vaccinated at this point, not to mention that if you remember last summer there was a big drop in Covid cases, I feel outdoors it should be allowed,” said Donna Jebaily, a member of the Seaford Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors. “It’s not only good for the local economy, I think it’s just good for people in general.” At a news conference at the Long Beach boardwalk and Grand Boulevard, Curran, State Sen. Todd Kaminsky, a Long Beach Democrat, and City Council President John Bendo said they saw little reason for beach capacity to be restricted to 50 percent, as it has been since last summer. Curran noted that 52 percent of the county’s population had received at least one vaccination, and that shots were readily available in any number of places. She also noted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s easing of its mask-wearing guidelines on Tuesday. “The risk of outdoor transmissions is lower, and we are asking the state to allow beach capacity to be 100 percent,” Curran said. Nassau County’s positivity rate for the virus is about 2.1 percent, among the lowest in the state. Michael Mihale, owner of Point Lookout Clam Bar, which has a view of the Reynolds Channel, said he agreed with Curran’s call, as more summer beach goers means more hungry customers. “I think people outside should be able to do what they want to do,” Mihale said. “We were supposed to, at some point in our lives, get beyond Covid, so I think people eating outside and going outside is definitely appropriate.” Responding to an inquiry from the Herald, the State Department of Health said on Wednesday, “As more people become vaccinated and as our positivity rates remain low, the Department will continue to review capacity guidelines for beaches, businesses and entertainment venues statewide, as part of our phased-in approach to reopening New York.” Curran was asked what would happen if Covid rates began to rise after a full

reopening of the beaches. “We’re flexible with what we do,” she said. “There’s no science behind the idea that the beaches will be a problem. So many people are now vaccinated.” Capacity at Jones Beach for the Bethpage Air Show on Memorial Day weekend, she said, will remain at 50 percent. Herald File Photo

Town of Hempstead to hold first-time homebuyer seminars Buying a first home can be overwhelming. There are so many aspects that can make it an intimidating experience. With things like broker fees, mortgages, property taxes, and home inspections to worry about, it’s not easy to know how to begin. Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin, along with Senior Councilwoman Dorothy Goosby and Councilmen Bruce Blakeman, Anthony D’Esposito, Dennis Dunne, Sr., Thomas Muscarella and Chris Carini, are partnering with Town Clerk Kate Murray, and Receiver of Taxes Jeanine Driscoll to host seminars, which will help to simplify the home buying process for the public. “Purchasing a first home is a goal many people strive for,” said Clavin. “It is a sign that people are becoming more settled in their lives, but it comes with a good deal of stress. These seminars will provide answers to common questions, offer valuable information, and hopefully save homebuyers money as they purchase their first residence.” There are 10 seminars scheduled between May 4th and May 25th and all are free to attend. The programs are being presented by Christopher Hoelzer, Esq. Mortgage rates are still at near record lows, making this a good time to buy a home,” said Driscoll. “So many people want to move into the suburbs and The Town of Hempstead is a great place to live.” The First-time Homebuyers seminars will explain and answer questions regarding mortgages, inspections, title insur-

How to get back on track! Many of us have been vaccinated. Springtime has arrived. After a year of quarantine, we’re ready to move forward. Get back on track. Get outside with others. Make positive changes in our lives. With so much optimism, they’ll be days when you feel that whatever you want to do, you’ll do! You’ll get to the gym, you’ll see friends, you’ll work on that new project, you’ ll eat healthy, you’ll get organized. Yay! Then there are the other days. On those days, you don’t take baby steps toward your goals. You’re too tired to get to the gym; you don’t feel like calling friends; you lack the desire to work on your new project; the hell with eating healthy, and the clutter in your space will just have to wait! Laziness, listlessness and lethargy rule the roost. Attempts at get-upand-go have gotten-up-and-gone. You a re, o r s o yo u b e l i eve, b e yo n d redemption. The prior year has made it easy to give up working toward your goals. Why even try? You shrug your shoulders. You tell yourself that it’s a losing battle to fight the fickle finger of fate. Just

admit that in the DNA lottery, you won the idle and inertia genes. So wouldn’t it be a good idea to stop tort u r i n g yo u r s e l f a n d accept yourself as you are – warts and all? I agree. Stop torturing yourself is a great idea. Acce pting yourself is also. But, if you’ve lapsed into old habits, do not despair. You can still take steps to reach your goals. Indeed, when people start a change program, the nor m is to fall off inda track. Only a few very well-disciplined folks are so consistent that they never falter, vacillate or backslide. The rest of us are more inconsistent. We don’t feel motivated every day. We don’t respond to self-imposed schedules. We dawdle with tasks we know we should do. We go for immediate gratification rather than long-term goals. We have days when it feels too difficult to do anything constructive. Such days challenge our confidence and belief in ourselves.

B u t r e m e m b e r, w e ’ r e n o t machines. We’re human beings. And human beings are imperfect. When we’ve gone through a challenging year, we may not want to do anything that feels burdensome. The key to getting back on track, however, is not to be perfect but to view your setback as temporary. O n e m o r n i n g yo u w a ke u p a n d re m i n d yourself why you want to change. You picture how apadin proud you’ll be when you achieve your goal. You begin by focusing on little steps, easy stuff you know you can do. Accomplish a simple task … organize your desk … send that text … make that call. Take care of these things and you’ll get renewed energy and determination. Then, more significant steps become less challenging. You might dream of having an understanding, energ etic coach alongside you, motivating you every

step of the way. Good idea. But if you don’t have one, consider becoming your very own coach. ■ Start by giving yourself a pep talk. You’re good! You’ ve got the energy, you’ve got the smarts! Now, get going! ■ Psych yourself up to do what needs to be done. You can do it! You know you can do it, so get started now! ■ Reward yourself for taking action. You did it! I’m proud of you! What matters is not how fast you reach your goals, but maintaining the energy and fortitude to work toward them day by day. ©2021 Linda Sapadin, Ph.D., psychologist, coach and author specializes in helping people overcome procrastination and debilitating anxiety and fear.

he pandemic changed my job a lot. It has been a lot of work all the time. When the pandemic first hit, there were more people in the store than ever before. It brought in more business because a lot of other supermarket locations closed, but ours stayed open. More people from Elmont and from neighboring towns and villages came to shop at our supermarket. I was happy about having more business because we were serving more of humanity, which is a blessing. Things have recently gone back to normal, with a regular amount of people coming to the store on a regular basis because more supermarkets are open now. Overall, the pandemic has been tough on everyone. When it first hit, most people were staying home, and they couldn’t really

go anywhere. It was very hard for everyone. I still don’t really go anywhere outside of work because I don't want to get infected. But I had to keep going to work, and at times I didn’t want to be close to anyone. However, we have so many customers asking for different things, and sometimes I have to get close to them. My job is part of helping to supply and meet the needs of our community. I have to keep going and keep working no matter what happens. People need to eat in the neighborhood. and they need the food that we provide in order to survive and live. We can’t just close and stop working. Now, with the vaccines available, I'm getting used to the new normal.

had just purchased Broadway Tavern in December 2019. We renovated the interior, and we even expanded the bar with an outdoor section. We had to completely renovate inside the bar, too, because it was old and looked dirty. At 8:00 on March 16, 2020, we were forced to shut down everything. I tried to give my bartenders a few dollars to keep them going, because obviously they were struggling. When we were allowed to reopen two months later, we had a live band playing, and the place was filled to capacity on the first night. During the summer we did really well, because no one wanted to be inside. In the fall, as it got cooler, business dwindled a bit, and I had to cut back on our staff. We’ve basically done whatever we could

to stay alive during the winter months. This has been a tough time for us, but I’m feeling confident about the future. The best thing we did was spend the money to put this outdoor venue together. People want to be outside, anyway, because it’s a little more comfortable now. The town has been very cooperative in giving us whatever we need. The mayor of Malverne has been more than accommodating, and the village board has really tried their best to support us in any way possible.

efinitely because of Covid, it’s made it a lot harder in terms of getting things done. In terms of the social distancing, there’s a lot more tension with the employees and the customers just because of the atmosphere of everything going on. But I think after the first couple of months of Covid, both the customers and employees became more adapted to it. At least the drama in the store kind of subsided for the most part. Actually, for most retail, especially the grocery industry, Covid has actually been a saving grace in terms of profit. Grocery chains across the country have seen record profits. Within the first couple of months of Covid, it didn’t matter what product it was, it was flying off the shelf. We’re one of the few businesses that’s actually been open the entire time

because we were deemed essential from the get-go. Just the added stress in terms of the social distancing, the fear in terms of not really knowing the nature of the virus and how to go about it, that was definitely real, but as more information has come out about the virus, that’s subsided for the most part. It’s all about being able to adjust to the climate. At least in terms of how normal it can be, it’s returned to some sort of normalcy, at least. We’re still wearing the mask, but at this point, it's pretty much like a part of my face. When I’m not even at work, I don’t realize it’s there I’m wearing it so much. It’s kind of like that episode of "Twilight Zone" when the masks get stuck to the face.

rom a business standpoint, the pandemic has forced us to find other ways to generate revenue to try and stay afloat. We started a shipping business, which helped us maintain sales. Doing things like that has helped us stay afloat. While we've always maintained a clean store, the pandemic helped us become even more conscious of it. We're doing things from a cleaning standpoint that we’ve never done before on a minute-to-minute basis, and I believe it has helped us maintain an even cleaner store. We're still using the same cleaning procedures, such as constantly washing down tables and cleaning counters. So far this spring, things have been really good business-wise. People have been coming back in, sitting both inside and outside.

Business has been picking up, and we're close to being back to where we're supposed to be. We're not back to 100 percent yet, but we’re back to about 75 to 80 percent of where we were prior to the pandemic. I’m very happy about that, and I’m excited about things going forward as we approach the summer. I want to thank the customers with all my heart for supporting us and for coming in. They're trusting us in that we're keeping a clean store and that we're still manufacturing the same great food and bagels. They really have shown support for us throughout. I’m very grateful for the support of the community. I hope everyone continues to stay safe during these times.

Post-pandemic fitness

Get back to your routine sanely and safely

hile some folks kept up with their fitness routines through zoom sessions and other forms of virtual workouts, even getting outside at times to work out, for many the pandemic meant too much sitting, TV binging and accumulating those dreaded pandemic pounds. Now, with vaccinations happening, and life seemingly on the rebound, the warm weather is an enticement to restart or even finally begin a consistent exercise program for the first time. On one hand: Hooray! It’ll be great to be back in the groove, take a class and see trainers/coaches and classmates I haven’t seen in forever! On the other hand: Yikes! What if I can’t keep up? What if I’ve lost everything I worked so hard to attain? First, know that hope is far from lost. But also realize that unless you’ve diligently kept up your training — perhaps with at-home workouts — you probably will have lost some effects, particularly cardiovascularly. Manage your expectations “Fitness takes longer to gain than it does to lose,” says Laurie P. Whitsel, vice president of policy research and translation for the American Heart Association. But try not to despair, she says. Life has been crazy lately, so you just have to forgive yourself and move forward. “If you’ve taken a break during Covid-19, that’s fine,” Dr. Whitsel says. “This is a stressful time. Maybe we’ve devoted more time to our families, or we’re adjusting to working a different way. So take time off; that’s OK. Then jump back in and do those wonderful things for your heart. You don’t want to give that up.” When workouts do get sporadic or cease completely, that starts the body into what’s known as the detraining effect — “an interesting area of research,” says exercise physiologist Fabio Comana. Some people, studies have shown, may lose training effects in a few days; for others, it may take a month or more. Just how quickly depends on factors like age, general health, the presence of underlying issues such as diabetes, and VO2 max (a measure of how much oxygen the body utilizes during intense workouts). “Let’s say you trained and had an amazing VO2 max in the 60s,” Comana says. “Then you stop. It may drop 10 percent, so you’re down to 54. That’s still high, and in dayto-day living you won’t be winded. But if you’re an older adult with a 25 VO2 max and have a 10 percent drop, it will compromise your activities of daily living.”

What you’ve lost you can get back Cardiovascular fitness tends to be lost more quickly than muscle strength, Comana says. Here’s why: “Muscle adaptations are architectural changes; that is, you’re building bigger muscles,” Comana explains. “But cardiovascular fitness is a mechanism for becoming more efficient, rather than a structure.” Added to that physical mix is what’s going on in our brains. “Any time we’re confronted with a decision” — whether to exercise or not, maybe — “our brains are doing a sort of analysis, weighing the benefits of the decision with the potential costs,” says neuroscientist Shannon Odell. “After falling out of the habit of exercising or of taking time to focus on fitness, that cost may feel extra high,” says Dr. Odell, who admits to slipping out of her own exercise routine. “And research suggests that our brains are wired to follow the path of least resistance, or to make choices that require the least amount of effort.” So, since not doing anything is easier than doing something, no wonder we may be kind of in limbo about how, when and — hearing how quickly we’ve lost fitness — why to start back. That said, please don’t make a U-turn from the door of your recently reopened gym/fitness studio and head back to your car. Ditto for refraining from plopping back down on your favorite sofa with a bag of chips and your favorite beverage. Because while getting back to your pre-pandemic level may seem like a looming mountaintop, you can do it. And once you reach the summit, you’ll see that breathtaking view and feel that sense of accomplishment all over again. Plus, your workout buddies are counting on you — to do it, and to motivate them to do it, too. “We tend to focus on weight,” Dr. Whitsel says, “but we really need to emphasize overall the benefits of physical activity, the mental health and well-being, the positive effect on the cardiovascular system, on your muscles; you’ll feel stronger, have better balance and flexibility, and reduce the risk of falls.” It’s all a matter of feeling safe, of getting started, of planning ahead, of not being hard on yourself if you’re out of breath long before you used to be.

Above photo: Before beginning a fitness routine after a long break from physical activity, experts say it’s best to set realistic expectations and ease into exercise to avoid injuries.

Ease back in

Get (re)started and achieve results without frustration Exercise is a wonder drug, but you can’t feel the effects until you fill your own prescription. “In this time of Covid and stress, exercise can be a great relief for your body and your mind,” Dr. Laurie P. Whitsel says. “It’s more important than ever.” If you’ve been away from exercise, or just lax in consistency, Fabio Comana says the first thing to consider goes beyond physiology. “A lot of times when we’ve detrained, it may not be our choice; it may be circumstances,” he says. “Say you had no ability to work out for a month or two. You’ve not just detrained; you’ve changed your behavior.” Start to re-engage those behaviors that got you in shape; get back to exercising consistently, he says. Surprisingly, motivation doesn’t work as well as believing in yourself to accomplish something. “Where are you most likely to be successful?” he says. “The human brain doesn’t like uncertainty, but that’s what Covid has presented to us — uncertainty. The best way to overcome it is to develop structure.” Try a behavior once and evaluate it, he says. “If it’s something enjoyable and you could do it again, move it to two times and then to three. It’s building tiny habits and creating an automatic process.” Studies show the best way to stay motivated is by setting “small, difficult but still achievable goals,” Dr. Odell says. “So don’t expect yourself to hit that personal best the first week. Remember: Slow and steady.” The silver lining of all this? “We’ll probably recondition faster the second time than the first,” Comana says. Reaching your goal requires mak-

ing your comeback as successful as possible. Plan ahead: When you’ve scheduled a class and put it on your calendar, you’re more likely than not to show up. It’s a matter of holding yourself accountable. You wouldn’t schedule a haircut or a dental appointment and just not show up, would you? Lighten up on yourself: OK, you’ve been doing some neighborhood walking, maybe some crunches and push-ups, maybe some at-home workouts. Now you are ready to really push forward. f you don’t see results from your new workout routine right away, it can get frustrating, and you may be tempted to give up. But remember, it will only get easier with time. Listen to your body: If it’s telling you to slow down or take an option suggested by your instructor, go for it. “You’re feeling appropriate for where you are,” Dr. Whitsel says. “Don’t feel guilty; it’s all part of ramping back up.” Encourage each other: “It’s human nature to be competitive,” Comana says, “but the coach can change the mindshift from competitive to supportive. Pick up your neighbor; it’s fortunate for them and fortunate for you.” Additionally, he says, “Diminish the urge to peek over and see how the person next to you is doing.” And since social distancing keeps us from hugging or high-fiving each other at the end of class, it’s especially important to acknowledge classmates with a two-word call-out: “Great job!” Above photo: The key to returning to exercise safely after a long break is to take small steps and frequently change up your routine, according to fitness experts.

outh Shore Rehabilitation is one of the premiere skilled nursing facilities on Long Island. One of South Shore’s main specialties is their 40-bed Vent Unit. It offers all kinds of Respiratory services, including Vent, Trache, Cpap, and BiPap. High Flow Oxygen was added this year to help aid patients during the pandemic who were having trouble breathing without the assistance of copious amounts of O2 being pumped into their lungs. The team is pleased to welcome a new pulmonologist, Dr Sam Davidoff, who is the Director of Pulmonology at Good Samaritan Hospital and cares for all the various pulmonary patients that are also cared for at South Shore. Under the auspices of Kilita Redmund, the Director of Respiratory Therapy at South Shore, the staff has successfully decannulated over 23 patients, 20 of whom were on vents due to Covid-19. They started doing a goodbye parade for each resident that was decannulated and able to return home. This paved the way for many feel-good moments

between the residents and their families. The team continues to wean patients off of vents and traches and expect many more goodbye parades to come.

Take precautions so that the sun is friend not foe

Many people find it impossible to think about summer without conjuring visions of spending endless hours outdoors from morning until evening, whether beachside, on the open water or even floating in a backyard pool. Especially now, as we begin to emerge from the pandemic, outside — making up for 2020’s “lost summer” — is where we want to be. Although a certain measure of sun exposure is required for some natural functions of the body, it’s well documented that too much time in the sun can be hazardous to one’s health. That’s why summer frolickers need to exercise considerable caution each time they step outside. Each year more than three and a half million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the United States. So whether you’re planning a trip to the beach, hitting the golf course, or enjoying a backyard cookout, remember to protect yourself from the sun. Banish The Burn Taking sunburn for granted can be a big mistake. Many people wouldn’t risk burns from a hot stove or open fire, but they won’t think twice about being unprotected under the very hot rays of the sun. Depending on the intensity of the sun and the amount of time spent outside, sunburn can be a first- or second-degree burn. In first-degree burns, damage affects the topmost layer of skin. However, sunburn can even affect deeper layers and cause blistering in addition to redness and pain.

Sunburn also can cause some irreparable damage that goes unseen. Medical experts stress that ultraviolet light from the sun can alter DNA, prematurely aging skin or even contributing to skin cancers. It can take years before symptoms become noticeable. Therefore, exercise caution when spending time in the sun — at every age. Always Protect Yourself Sunburn is one of the most easily prevented summertime ailments. It’s also important to note that sunburns are not just limited to the hot weather or when it is sunny outside. Ultraviolet damage can occur at any time of the year, and also from artificial UV sources, such as tanning beds. Preventing sunburn — preventing serious risk to your health — is simple. Seek the shade. The sun’s rays are usually strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you are outside, find shade from a structure, a leafy tree, or a sun umbrella for protection. Also, try to arrange your schedule so that you can take advantage of the early morning and late afternoon for your outdoor activities. Otherwise, limit exposure to the sun and take frequent breaks in the shade. Cover up. Wear protective clothing that covers the arms and legs. Some outdoor gear is designed to offer sun protection. Tightly woven fabrics tend to help the most. Your clothes can be an effective form of protection from the sun’s harmful rays. Some

outdoor clothing now carries an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating. The UPF rating lets you know how well the fabric shields your skin from ultraviolet (UV) rays. All fabrics block UV rays to some degree, but the most effective have a UPF rating from 15 (good) to more than 50 (excellent). For example, a white cotton t-shirt has a UPF of five. Blue jeans have a UPF of 1,700. In other words, densely woven and bright or dark colored fabrics offer the best defense from the sun’s rays. Light-weight, loose-fitting long sleeves and pants also help. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to protect your head and eyes and put sunscreen on exposed skin. Apply — and reapply — sunscreen. Apply sunscreen generously and reapply it regularly. The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures how long unprotected skin can be theoretically exposed to the sun’s harmful UV rays before causing damage. UVA rays can prematurely age your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots. UVB rays can burn your skin. Too much exposure to

either can cause skin cancer. Look for products that offer an SPF of 15 or greater. The American Academy of Dermatology actually recommends an SPF of 30 or greater. Make sure the product is broad-spectrum, meaning it protects against UVA and UVB rays. Apply sunscreen thoroughly, paying attention to the tops of feet, hands and other places that tend to go untreated. Reapply every two hours or more frequently, if necessary. Keep in mind that sunscreen is often not applied thoroughly or evenly, and it might wash off while you swim or sweat. That means sunscreen might be less effective than the SPF number might lead you to believe. Dermatologists suggest that along with the sunscreen’s SPF, you should choose a “broad spectrum” sunscreen that offers protection from UVA and UVB rays. It is important to reapply sunscreen frequently. Above photo: Have your time in the sun while sparing your skin from damage and harm to your health.

HEALTH HEALTHMEMOS MEMO

Prevent injuries as you return to exercise, sports this summer

s gyms reopen and summer sports and outdoor activities ramp up following the easing of coronavirus restrictions, Mount Sinai South Nassau experts advise caution before jump-starting a new workout regimen. “It’s important to warm up first followed by stretching before starting exercise, especially if you have been on the couch for months due to the pandemic,” said Stelios Koutsoumbelis, MD, Chief of Orthopedic Surgery at Mount Sinai South Nassau. “We are concerned that people may rush back out without proper preparation, which could lead to a rash of stress fractures, muscle strains, overuse tendon injuries, and soft tissue tears in the knees, shoulders, elbows, hips, and ankles.” To prevent such injuries, Dr. Koutsoumbelis recommends taking these simple steps before exercising: √ Follow a schedule that sticks to the “10 percent rule” of increasing the intensity, volume, distance, and duration of workouts. Make time for rest and recovery after strenuous exercise. √ Warm-up first followed by stretching before practice or training. √ Diversify training by combining or alternating activities like walking, jogging, biking, or weightlifting. Improving your core strength, lower extremity balance, flexibility, and cardiovascular endurance can enhance your fitness. √ Listen to your body; if you feel pain, soreness, or tightness, stop! Early intervention with targeted conditioning and stretching exercises, or even physical therapy, is key to avoiding further injury. √ Eat healthy. Be sure to include fruits and vegetables and adequate portions of protein in your daily diet. If you or your child suffers an injury, don’t live by the rule “no pain, no gain.”

Dr. Koutsoumbelis, left, and orthopedic surgeons at Mount Sinai South Nassau use minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgical techniques that reduce post-operative pain and result in less scarring. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s sports medicine professionals are ready to help by applying their experience and expertise to develop a tailored plan that will lead to a faster recovery and prevent reinjury. If surgery is needed, the hospital’s orthopedic surgeons use minimally invasive arthroscopic and image-guided surgery to repair common and complex orthopedic sports injuries. “The benefits of minimally invasive and arthroscopic surgery include reduced post-operative pain, less scarring, a quicker recovery, and a faster return to normal activities,” said Dr. Koutsoumbelis. “Many of these surgeries can be performed on an outpatient basis.”

Minimally invasive procedures such as the Birmingham Hip resurfacing may eliminate the need for traditional hip replacement surgery, just as the Uni-Knee partial knee replacement and ImageGuided knee replacement procedures may help you avoid open surgery. Knee and shoulder injuries repaired at Mount Sinai South Nassau include torn cartilage and anterior cruciate, posterior cruciate, and medial collateral ligaments in the knee as well as instability, impingement, rotator cuff, or labrum tears and recurrent dislocations in the shoulder. Mount Sinai South Nassau’s orthopedic spine surgeons also use minimally invasive surgical approaches that provide short- and longterm relief from painful back problems, such as herniated discs and stenosis. To ensure you maximize the benefits of the treatment plans prescribed to you, Mount Sinai South Nassau Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation’s multi-disciplinary team of an experienced physiatrist and staff of physical and occupational therapists provides top-notch physical therapy and rehabilitation programs. Get a leg up on recovery and return to action sooner by calling Mount Sinai South Nassau Orthopedics at (866) 32-ORTHO or (866) 326-7846.

omen still tend to encounter more obstacles than men in pursuit of financial security. Women are still more likely to leave the workforce, at least temporarily, to raise children, resulting in lower contributions to employer-sponsored retirement plans; also to become fulltime caregivers of aging parents or other relatives. Those caregiving duties can exact a big financial toll: Wages, pensions (including 401(k) and similar plans) and Social Security benefits lost to caregiving can amount to more than $300,000 over a lifetime, according to the National Academy of Sciences.

Improve your financial outlook with these steps Take full advantage of retirement plans. If your employer offers a 401k or similar plan, put in as much as you can afford each year and increase your contributions when your salary goes up. Choose the mix of investments that can provide the most growth potential, given your individual risk tolerance. Also even if you contribute to a 401k, you may be eligible to find an IRA, which gives you more investment choices. Evaluate Social Security options. You can typically start taking Social Security benefits at 62. But

monthly checks will be much larger if you wait until “full” retirement age, likely between 66 and 67. Also consider whether you’d be better off by taking spousal benefits, if your spouse earned more money than you. You’re generally eligible for spousal benefits even if divorced as long as you were married at least 10 years and haven’t remarried. Look for unexpected income opportunities. Even after you’ve formally retired, find ways to receive some earned income. Perhaps you can work part-time or do some consulting. If you’re a caregiver, you might be able to receive some compensation for your work. Many local governments pay non-spouse caregivers who act as personal attendants, although the rules vary greatly by state and county.

Creative ways to incorporate family fitness into your lifestyle We all know how important an active lifestyle is for long-term health and well-being. And now that the warm weather has arrived, there’s no reason not get outdoors and get moving. While eating a diet that is low in fat and high in whole-grain fiber, vegetables and lean proteins is important to our overall health, exercise remains one of the key factors in maintaining a healthy weight. However, many adults and children simply do not get enough exercise during the day. An active lifestyle is often hampered by the prevalence of digital devices or sedentary jobs that encourage more screen time than fitness time. But there are ways for the entire family to get fit. Exercising together is not just a great way for families to get healthy, but also a great opportunity to spend time together. The following are a handful of ways families can work together to incorporate more exercise into their daily lives. Tackle chores. Yes, tasks around the house can count as exercise. Working together not only gets you moving but also cuts down on the time it takes to tackle tasks around the house. Mowing the lawn, vacuuming the rugs, sweeping the floor -- all of these activities can get the heart pumping. Make it fun by setting chores to music or competing against one another to see who gets their task done first or the best. Compete in the pool. Swimming is a low-impact activity that works many muscles in the body. Taking a dip in the pool can be both relaxing and beneficial to your health. Compete with family members to make the most of the time spent in the water. Host relay swimming races, see how long each member of the family can tread water or create any other competitions that keep everyone in the pool moving. Create an outdoor obstacle course. Set up a series of obstacles in your yard and host your own triathlon. You can jump through tires, climb through tubes and scale trees. Make it fun by having adults try to ride tricycles or pair up an adult with a child for sack races. The opportunities for fun are only hampered by your imagination. Go for family bicycle rides. Traverse your neighborhood or

blaze new trails by riding bikes together. Young children can be strapped into trailers that are pulled behind the bike or ride in seats attached to the bike itself. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and hone their cycling skills. Go hiking. Hiking is another fun family activity that also happens to make for great exercise. Choose a trail that may not be level and push everyone’s endurance to the test. Stroll the beach. We’re lucky enough to live close to the

beach, so take advantage of our many beaches and incorporate them into your fitness routine. Walking or running on sand offers more resistance than walking on pavement. Take a stroll at the seaside. Break up the walk by collecting shells or stopping by the water to observe marine wildlife. Above photo: Make exercise a family affair. Teach your children to embrace good fitness and nutrition habits while they are young.

Vaxmobile arrives in Rockville Centre to give out shots By Tom Carrozza tcarrozza@liherald.com

The Town of Hempstead’s Vaxmobile made its way to the Rockville Centre Recreation Center on April 27 to provide a local vaccination option for residents. The mammoth truck, donned in the blue and purple of its operators, Mount Sinai South Nassau hospital, stood in the parking lot loaded to administer the Pfizer vaccine. Rockville Centre Mayor Francis Murray said that village buses have been able to go directly to seniors and the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Center to invite more residents to get their vaccines. “The more people we get vaccinated and the faster we do it, we’ll get this disease out of here,” Murray said. Ramon Paris, a resident who has done volunteer work with the Rockville Centre Hispanic Brotherhood, came with his son and wife to get their first dose of the vaccine. Each of them fought Covid-19 this past year. He was excited to begin the vaccination process and hopefully travel to Florida and Puerto Rico soon. “We want to get back to normal,” Paris said. “We want to be able to take these masks off.” The Vaxmobile is a joint venture between the Town of Hempstead and Mount Sinai South Nassau. The latter conceived the idea in November, citing its necessity as a local option for those who could not travel far for the Covid vaccine. Joe Calderone, the senior vice president of communications at MSSN, credited town leadership through Supervisor Don Clavin and Councilman Anthony D’Esposito for helping to turn the idea into reality. “They had the foresight and the leadership to take our proposal seriously and act on it,” Calderone said.

He added that in the month since the Vaxmobile started visiting different locations in Hempstead, it has vaccinated about 1,200 people. The vehicle has helped those who are not technologically savvy or do not have the time to make an appointment at one of the state sites because of their jobs find a quicker, but equally safe option. “We had people from a deli in Island Park across the street,” Calderone said. “We had guys that didn’t even take their aprons off.” The Vaxmobile started off as a testing center before transitioning to a mobile vaccine site when doses became available. It is the first such vehicle in the state and only the second in the nation, according to Clavin. “This is because of the collaboration of having the funds that we utilized to help people and teaming up with the professionals who know how to use it,” Clavin said. D’Esposito said that when he was contacted about the concept back in November, he was on the phone with Clavin within minutes. The two called the idea “a no-brainer.” “To have that vision in November and December, when we weren’t even sure where vaccines were going to be, it was a great vision,” D’Esposito said. “And while others on the state and county levels were making this cash funding political, we made sure the money went where it needed to be.” The town board voted in favor of using federal grant money awarded through the CARES Act to purchase the vehicle, which was an old police command center vehicle, from a North Carolina car dealer. The Vaxmobile will be in the Five Towns, at 270 Lawrence Road in Lawrence, on May 6 and Freeport, at the recreation center at 130 East Merrick Road, on May 7.

A. Home ownership is a challenge in many ways. For some, a home is a place to shelter, sleep, onte eeper cook and entertain. For others it’s a little more like a place to enjoy time by a fireplace and a haven to relax or turn into a laboratory of gadgets and gizmos. If you’re concerned about value versus overpricing, then, other than a basic home, more upgrades are relative to comparable homes in the area. Making your home more, I often tell homebuyers, is based on your level of expected benefit and how long you hope to live there to enjoy the rewards of your hard work. State-of-the-art is ever-changing. Decide why you need the upgrades and how long they will last. If the upgrades have a return on investment, like superior insulation that reduces energy bills, solar electric or water heating, reflective or wind-resistant roofing and siding or radiant heat, then reducing bills makes the value greater. Adding a superior sound system, built-in computer and voice-controlled appliances, or a swimming pool and outdoor kitchen, are luxury items that may either become outdated or increase maintenance and insurance costs, which can actually lower the attractiveness to some future buyers who are looking at affordability. The traditional home, built 100 years ago up to the present, has basically the same structural configuration, either using amateur or unsound guessing to be over- or under-built or, since around the 1950s, a more enforced, regulated engineered construction. It’s pretty costly to just throw a home away, so you have to be sure to compare the existing with a replacement. Good design starts with sight orientation, the sun, winds, sounds and adherence to municipal zoning requirements. Decide if the size and shape of the existing home are a benefit or not. Insulated windows that allow uniform daytime lighting save energy. Properly sized overhangs screen harsh summer sun rays and allow windows to be open during a rain for fresh air. Look at what you have, what needs are not being met and how costly the renovation will be before starting over. If the home has a lot of dry-rotted structure or a crumbing or sinking foundation, replacement makes sense. If not, consider what’s useful to keep, and start from there with a trained, licensed professional. Good luck!

Q. I just bought a house that needs a lot of attention. It has little if any insulation, a sagging first floor, cloth-covered wiring with only a few three-pronged outlets that I doubt are grounded, and water stains in the ceilings. I’m thinking it may be cheaper to tear down, so I want to look into making the new house totally state-of-the-art, meaning energy-efficient and storm-resistant, with computerized, wireless controls Ask The for a new boiler, sound sysArchitect tem, lighting and security. I just wonder if, after investing in all this, is it worth it? Am I over-improving and out-pricing the house so I’ll never get my money back?

opINIoNS

s someone who has been active his entire life, I consider “retirement” a dirty word. But sooner or later, all of us retire, or are retired by fate. I take note of the impending retirement of Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the president of Hofstra University. Having been a trustee of the university for almost 30 years, I have come to understand how significant Hofstra has become in this region and this state, and the role Rabinowitz has played. Hofstra is Long Island’s largest JERRY private college. It educates 12,000 KREMER students and has nearly 3,700 employees. It occupies 244 acres in the heart of Nassau County, adjacent to the Nassau Coliseum. Its campus is a model of greenery and a comforting atmosphere. Rabinowitz has been president for over 20 years, which makes him the longest-serving privatecollege president in the state. When I became a board member in 1991, Hofstra was a modestly sized institution with all of the typical college courses that were being offered at the time. Its

president, Dr. James Shuart, was a hardworking, affable guy, a good administrator and a competent leader. I like to describe the time after Shuart’s retirement as the Rabinowitz era. In the early 2000s, the private-college scene changed drastically. The economy suffered numerous ups and downs, and college presidents couldn’t afford to sit idly by. Hofstra was known as a commuter school, and hadn’t attracted much attention beyond Long Island. At the outset, Rabinowitz recognized that something more dramatic had to be done to make Hofstra a destination for students outside the bi-county area. Any college that wants to attract new students must be ranked by the various college publications. Course offerings and campus environment are a very big deal to any prospective student, and it was important for Hofstra to expand its offerings and make the campus atmosphere attractive and safe. Rabinowitz embraced the challenge with vigor. Today, Hofstra is one of only three schools in the downstate area that offer degrees in engineering, medicine and law. If you tour the campus today, you’ll find six new schools: the Donald and Bar-

bara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell; the Hofstra Northwell School of Nursing and Physician Assistant Studies; the Fred DeMatteis School of Engineering and Applied Science; the Peter Kalikow School of Government, Public Policy and International Affairs; the Lawrence Herbert School of Communications and the newest of the campus buildings, the state-of-the-art Frank G. Zarb School of Business. Thanks to Rabinowitz’s dedication, the university is now known by rival schools around the country. One of his crowning achievements was Hofstra’s being the only college in the country to host three presidential debates. Few people know what a headache these debates are for any college that is chosen to stage one. Media from around the world descend on the campus, and the human and organizational demands of hosting such an event discourage most institutions from applying. Rabinowitz has not been content just to be the leader of a growing and successful institution. On numerous occasions he has been called on by Gov. Andrew Cuomo to head up state commissions, and he currently co-chairs the Long Island Regional Development Council, which has helped

hanks to Dr. Stuart Rabinowitz, the university is now known around the country.

deliver $727 million for over 900 projects. Some people would consider serving on these bodies a full time job, but Rabinowitz has managed those responsibilities without being distracted from the rigorous job of running a university. If you ask him what his greatest challenge has been in his years at Hofstra, he would probably say running a college in the middle of an ongoing pandemic. Providing an education for thousands of students — inside and outside the classroom — while keeping them safe is a herculean task for any college president, but Rabinowitz successfully steered the college through this monumental year-plus-long headache, often acting as if it were just another day on the job. Long Island has been blessed with many fine college presidents over the years. Rabinowitz would be the first to ask why he should be singled out for recognition, because that’s the Stu Rabinowitz many have come to know and respect. He will step down in August, leaving a lasting imprint not only on Hofstra, but on the entire Long Island community. 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.

Gotta get up, get out and do something bold

s poet Mary Oliver asks, “What will you do with your one wild and precious life?” In our (almost) post-pandemic lives, the question presses us for an answer. What will we do now that we faced the fact that our days are finite and fleeting? The remedy for a year of loss is a new season of action, and even daring. “Daring” is a relative concept. My ancestors never went west of the Hudson River. My dream is to go west, traveling across the country in the steps of the RANDI pioneers of the KREISS 1800s who headed for free land, independence and a new life in the wide-open spaces. I know I’m romanticizing the harrowing journey that could take up to a year and suck the life out of the voyagers. They raced west at 2 miles per hour, covering 20 miles a day — if they didn’t encounter an impassable river or hostiles hoping to raid their party. Some 250 years ago, a covered wagon was the cheapest way to move a household west, and there was strength in the num-

bers of wagons trundling across the prairies. For our Boomer trip, we plan to fly to Denver (skipping the flat parts) and then drive to California, about 16 hours. A wagon train is out of the question, so we booked an airplane and a rental car and will dine on fast food instead of jerky. In the old days, many of the westward travelers brought their cows and pigs along to keep them fed along the way. We will bring Lillybee the dog, who requires a reverse process in which we must feed her to keep her going. We have been to Komodo Island in Indonesia, the Arctic Circle in Norway and Table Mountain in South Africa, but this year, driving even partly across our own country feels thrilling. In some ways we are old school, or possibly just old. We bought an oversized road atlas that bumps the font up to something that is readable for us. My husband spends hours poring over the primary, secondary and scenic byways that could get us from Point A to Point B. I know we can use MapQuest and several other digital trip planners and maps, but this is way more fun. And anyway, on my computer the

AAA maps keep zooming in and out of control. One minute I’m looking at the road from Denver to Laramie and the next minute I’m in a hill town outside Bangkok. Along the way, we may not face Sitting Bull, who rightfully suspected that the emigrating hordes would kill his people and trash his world, but I expect we will be edified by the culture and politics of the places between the coasts. Read “edified” any way you like. Our first real challenge was booking plane tickets. Apparently, everyone is on the road. No exaggeration, the wait time to talk to a Delta agent was 3½ hours. Next, we needed a rental car. Very quickly we discovered that a reasonable car would cost way more than our flights. The pioneers didn’t even ride in their wagons because the terrain was a nightmare of ditches and holes and broken wheels. And while the western voyagers pushed ahead fearlessly, we piled on the insurance. Wagon train journeys cost as much as $1,000 for a family of four. Today, some rental car companies are charging that per day for large SUVs.

f you’re flying and driving these days, the rental car can cost as much as the airfare.

Then we booked a rental house up in a mountain town where wildfires are a constant threat over the summer and autumn. It may seem knuckle-headed to choose a fire zone for vacation, but it seems to run in the family. Our kids live there. At least we won’t face the pioneers’ hardships of limited diet and the threats of cholera, flu, dysentery, measles, mumps, tuberculosis and typhoid fever. Not that bouncing from McDonald’s to Burger King is a healthy regimen. We trust that our recent Covid-19 vaccines will still be effective in the coming months as we drive through areas where some folks don’t believe in either the disease or the inoculation. Our drive will take us from Denver through Wyoming and Nevada, into California. Part of me thinks we need not just a plan but also a plan B and a plan C. What if we get to Denver and we can’t get a rental car? What if we get to California but don’t feel like making the drive back to Denver for our flight home? What if we need to evacuate our rental house in the middle of the night? But the better part of me says westward ho. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss. Randi can be reached at randik3@aol.com.

ast year, the guidance we received from the government was straightforward: wear a mask, keep your distance from others and stay at home if you’re able. Now, with millions of people being vaccinated, there’s a two-tiered system of guidance — one for those who are fully vaccinated and one for those who are not, which can be a bit confusing. So, here it is in a nutshell. If you aren’t yet vaccinated, none of the government’s previous guidance has changed. You should still wear a mask at all times when in public and keep your distance, though the government is no longer saying stay at home at all times. Meanwhile, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people who have been fully vaccinated for at least two weeks can: ■ Visit with other fully vaccinated people indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. ■ Visit with unvaccinated people (includ-

ing children) from a single household who are at low risk for severe Covid-19 disease indoors without wearing masks or physical distancing. ■ Take part in outdoor activities and recreation without a mask, except in certain crowded settings and venues. ■ Resume domestic travel and refrain from testing before or after travel or selfquarantine afterward. ■ Refrain from testing before leaving the U.S. for international travel (unless required by the destination country) and refrain from self-quarantine after returning to the U.S. ■ Refrain from testing following a known exposure, if asymptomatic, with some exceptions for specific settings. ■ Refrain from quarantine following a known exposure if asymptomatic. ■ Refrain from routine screening testing if asymptomatic and feasible. For now, fully vaccinated people should

continue to: ■ Take precautions in indoor public settings, like wearing well-fitting masks. ■ Wear masks when visiting indoors with unvaccinated people who are at increased risk for severe Covid-19 or who have an unvaccinated household member who is at increased risk. ■ Wear masks when visiting indoors with unvaccinated people from multiple households. ■ Avoid large indoor gatherings. ■ Get tested if experiencing Covid-19 symptoms. ■ Follow guidance issued by individual employers. ■ Follow CDC and health department travel requirements and recommendations. Our strong advice: Get vaccinated. Clearly, the positives outweigh any small inconvenience of being inoculated.

letters When will America grow up on guns? To the Editor: I just read Scott Brinton’s column “The story that haunts me all these years later” (May 6-12). In 1970, on my last day of a 415-day tour of duty in Vietnam, I learned of the killing of Jeffrey Miller. Awaiting the flight home, listening to the Knicks game (the “Willis Reed game”) on Armed Forces Radio, and reading the Army’s Stars & Stripes, I had survived my tour of duty. Meanwhile, Jeff, the younger brother of my great friend Russell Miller, was one of the four students killed by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State University during a protest against the U.S. invasion of Cambodia. I had survived a more than year-long combat zone tour, and Jeff had lost his life while on a college campus. The irony is still palpable. Russ is a friend still. We have memories of our Bronx neighborhood, Cub Scouts and stickball. Jeff was 20 years old when he died. Justice was not served in 1970. Perhaps the George Floyd case is a step forward, but gun culture remains a real barrier to advancement, to my mind, in American society. In Vietnam, I never fired my M-16 in anger or defense. When will we grow up as a nation? Thanks to Brinton for his piece. RICK HERMAN Lido Beach

‘Change the street, change the world’ To the Editor: The Herald’s Earth Day editorial, “L.I. is making strides on the environmental front” (April 22-28), noted encouraging progress in addressing three major environmental problems on Long Island. It rightly hailed remedial actions to clean up the Northrop Grumman toxic plume in Bethpage, an outfall pipe that spews fish-killing effluent into Reynolds Channel off Long Beach and the huge amounts of nitrogen fertilizer spread on golf courses and home lawns. The editorial did not, however, call for tar-

geting a far greater source of pollution that threatens public health across Long Island, New York state, the U.S. and the planet. The environmental damage highlighted by the Herald is vastly exceeded by the toll taken by everincreasing volumes of automobile traffic, and this destruction takes more forms than just the climate instability caused by burning fossil fuels. Cars pose immediate, daily threats to human life. Reckless driving resulted in 284 deaths in Nassau County in 2019 alone. Vehicle operators and passengers accounted for most of those fatalities, but crashes also killed several pedestrians and cyclists, including young children. Has this carnage become so commonplace that we have come to pay it no mind or view it as an inevitable byproduct of conve-

opinions

ews sources are filled with reports of claims about “woke” universities and corporations (awake to racial injustice), complaints about critical race theory (that race is an invented category used to oppress people of color), and anti-racism training sessions (often designed to help white people experience being a member of a minority group). In addition, organizations and institutions are making plans to ensure DEI: diversity of membership, equity for all people roBert a. and inclusive practices to ensure that sCott Black and Brown people are not excluded. The partisan divide already evident in our society is being deepened by those who complain that this focus on race is motivated by “hatred” of America. For others, “woke” initiatives are urgent calls for a national reckoning of public policies and private prejudices that explain the vast differences in wealth and opportunity between whites and Blacks. Our history is replete with discrimination against Native American and Asian citizens as well. Unlike our own, the German government has supported reparations and museums to acknowledge public and private complicity in anti-Semitism, the Holocaust

and other war crimes. In South Africa, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission did something similar. Here in the U.S., the National Museum for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Ala., and other memorials were inspired by the Holocaust Museum in Berlin and the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, but are supported privately. The National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington received $270 million from the federal government — the cost of one corporate Boeing 787 Dreamliner. The balance of the funding was raised privately. In America we have no federal acknowledgement of racism and slavery, and standard school curricula ignore this history while they celebrate such “achievements” as western expansion. Meanwhile, police officers use federally provided military equipment and weapons against Black motorists and pedestrians. In response, large crowds protest and called for change. Some have called for “defunding” the police, because armed forces on the streets belie a commitment to community protection. There is no denying the force of institutional racism in our country. The question is how to acknowledge and fix it. We need the courage to listen to the pleas and engage the truths. We need to foster an honest respect for history and differences. We need to take affirmative action to com-

t is not enough, Lyndon Johnson said, just to open the gates of opportunity.

Letters nient transportation? Cars not only steal lives; they also squander the precious time we are given on this earth. The average Long Islander spends 81 hours a year — the equivalent of more than three full days — sitting in traffic, according to an April 8 report in Newsday. Then there is the ugliness of much of Long Island’s commercial landscape, the result of our car-dependent way of life. One road in Nassau looks a lot like most other roads across the county: a series of shopping centers, strip malls and parking lots. Long Island once abounded in natural beauty; now it’s buried beneath endless pavement and honky-tonk signage meant to attract car travelers. It’s easy to say that nothing can be done and it’s too late to repair the wreckage. Maybe that’s so. But do we not owe our children and grandchildren at least an attempt to achieve alternatives to wasteful and deadly over-reliance on private automobiles? Suburban jurisdictions and individuals do have the power to fashion a more livable, sustainable future. We can promote and expand Long Island’s bus and train networks, develop hundreds of miles of protected bike paths and reconfigure residential areas to allow easy pedestrian

pensate for past injustices and promote fair opportunities, based not on skin color but on the consequences of state, federal and private sanctions. President Lyndon Johnson introduced his idea of affirmative action 56 years ago by arguing that “Freedom is not enough. You do not wipe away the scars of centuries by saying: Now you are free to go where you want, and do as you desire, and choose the leaders you please. You do not take a person who, for years, has been hobbled by chains and liberate him, bring him up to the starting line of a race and then say, ‘you are free to compete with all the others,’ and still justly believe that you have been completely fair.” It is not enough, Johnson said, just to open the gates of opportunity. Those who have suffered discrimination must have the resources necessary to walk through the gates and take advantage of the opportunity. These resources include housing, nutrition, adequate schooling, safe neighborhoods and protection, not persecution, by the police. Arguments about white privilege and advocacy of anti-racist training can be instructive, but they are not sufficient. They do not make up for government policies that denied access to housing, education and business development, as occurred with the post-World War II G.I. Bill. They do not compensate for the pri-

vate prejudices that continue to limit opportunities in education and employment. They do not bring reparations to compensate for 400 years of discrimination. Texas Rep. Sheila Jackson, a Democrat, is the lead sponsor of H.R. 40, which would establish a commission to study reparations for slavery. She has said that bringing the bill to a vote in the House would be “cleansing” for the country, and asked her Republican colleagues not to “cancel” debate on the issue. The 13-member commission, Jackson explained, would “study the effects of slavery and racial discrimination, hold hearings … recommend appropriate remedies … and consider what form a national apology could take for the harm caused by slavery.” Those in favor of reparations argue that “today’s descendants of enslaved people and those who look like them continue to suffer from the lingering legacy of slavery and persistent racial inequities.” So, instead of accusations of white privilege and woke universities, let’s have a serious discussion of the past, how to acknowledge it and what to do about it. We need more history and less histrionics. Germans and South Africans were not afraid to confront their past. Surely we can do the same with honest listening and civil discourse. The truth shall, indeed, set us free. Robert Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and the author of “How University Boards Work,” Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018.

3,070 days later, still no action on Sandy Hook To the Editor: Re “The heartache of gun violence continues” (April 29-May 5): The editorial stated, “Since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in 2012, when we pledged to never allow another mass shooting like this to happen again after 26 were killed,” but the “we” applied only to the vast majority of the American public, and obviously not to all 535 members of Congress — as our elected leaders have now failed to pass common-sense gun-control legislation for an astounding 3,070 days since the tragedy. Unfortunately, the shooting death of a single beloved Stop & Shop store manager

will surely not produce any gun-control laws if the 20 killings of 6- and 7-year-old first-graders in the Sandy Hook slaughter did not. But I wish it somehow could help shame Congress into attempting a do-over for their failure even to ban assault rifles after the Newtown, Conn., massacre. Dec. 14, 2020, was the eighth anniversary of the Sandy Hook shooting. To me, a

retired elementary school teacher, it will always be another “date which will live in infamy,” even though it did not take the 2,000-plus lives that led President Franklin D. Roosevelt to brand the Dec. 7, 1941, bombing of Pearl Harbor with the phrase. RICHARD SIEGELMAN Plainview
