Blakeman signs anti-Semitism Task Force bill By REiNE BEthANY rbethany@liherald.com

CoUNtY lEGiSlAtoRS AND Jewish community leaders watched County Executive Bruce Blakeman sign an amended resolution for the Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. To Blakeman’s right was Legislator Arnold Drucker, and to his left, Legislator Mazi Pilip.
Two events of particular relevance to Nassau County’s Jewish population occurred at the Theodore Roosevelt Legislative and Executive Building in Mineola on Jan. 27: County Executive Bruce Blakeman, who is Jewish, signed an amended bill creating the Nassau County Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism, and he led a commemoration of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the stately Ceremonial Room, Blakeman signed the
amended version of the bill that was approved by the County Legislature last Aug. 1. The bill was spearheaded by Legislator Arnold Drucker, a Democrat from Plainview. The task force did not convene in 2021, but now has a full roster of appointees and will pursue its original plan of action. Just before signing the bill, Blakeman said he thought it was “a great start,” but he wanted to broaden the task force to make it more inclusive. “In the Jewish community,” he said, “we have on a religious Continued on page 14
Members of local Jewish congregation welcome task force By REiNE BEthANY rbethany@liherald.com
Four members of Congregation B’Nai Israel in Freeport articulated their reactions to the formation of the Special Legislative Task Force to Combat Antisemitism in Nassau County. Marilyn Gales, Sharon Levy, Lois Howes, and Mireille Taub showed their rising concern over recent anti-Semitic attacks. All four welcomed the task force, specially its education component.
Marilyn Gales
“Historically, anti-Semitism rears its ugly head when there
are difficult times,” said Marilyn Gales, president of Congretion B’Nai Israel, “though there’s always an undercurrent of antiSemitism. I congratulate [Nassau County Legislator Arnold Drucker] on having the courage to bring the topic to the forefront, to expose the fact that it does exist, and how destructive it is.” Gales seemed to feel that an undercurrent of anti-Semitism existed owing to engrained religious and cultural ideas, which can be addressed by education. “We need to bring to the surface all kinds of crimes, all discrimination of any kind,” Gales continued. ”Sometimes it’s very covered, but it exists, and the
most important part will be the education of the young people.” Anti-Semitic outbreaks, Gales said, tended to surface for reasons other than religion. “It can be cultural, it can be economic,” she said. “There seems to be a need to blame, which happened in Germany after World War I. The country was economically destroyed, and they had to basically blame it on somebody. . . . We have a lot of hatred in the country right now. It’s awful.”
Sharon levy
Recently retired from a 36-year career in law enforcement, Sharon Levy teaches
Hebrew school and serves on both the board of trustees and the executive board of Congregation B’Nai Israel. She said that she feels the task force is important because fewer people than in the past seem aware of antiSemitism. Many apparently have not been taught about the Holocaust. Levy has lived in Freeport
since grade school, but lived in several other Long Island communities during her primaryschool years, where she was occasionally a victim of religious bias. “When I was 8 years old,” she said, “I was at a school bus stop. Some other kids threw my lunch bag down, and I got called a Continued on page 11

Mulé and Freeport Chamber of Commerce President Ben Jackson congratulated the Albert Khan family upon the reopening of their store, 99 Cent Empire, nine months after a car crashed into it in March 2021.
An interview with Legislator Debra Mulé then-lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul, at podium, spoke in Baldwin on May 11 in support of the Complete Streets project. From left, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, New York State Senator John Brooks, Long Island Association past President Kevin Law, Legis. Debra Mulé, New York State Assembly Member Judy Griffin, and Hempstead Town Supervisor Don Clavin.
The Herald asked Nassau County Legislator Debra Mulé (D-Freeport, L.D. 5): “Talk about what you see as your vision for things you’re going to do, such as infrastructure, especially as touching on Freeport.” Her answers are recorded below. I’m entering my third term as a county legislator. I continue to be excited by this job, and I love it. There’s always something that can be done and I learn from my constituents all the time. My job is to make sure that what they believe is important is what’s happening. You mention talking about infrastructure projects. I’m going to talk about one that’s in Baldwin, the Baldwin Complete Streets, and it will tangentially affect Freeport because Freeporters do use Grand Avenue. This is something that truly was grassroots and came out of the community. This project will reach from Merrick Road up to Stanton Avenue, which is just north of Baldwin HIgh School. It’s going to be a complete re-do of Grand Avenue, from curb to curb. It’s going to include decorative lighting and new curbs, synchronized timing for the lights to make the traffic flow more smoothly, and dedicated turning lanes. We’re fixing all the drainage. It’s all been approved, the money’s been approved, the contractor’s been signed, so we’re really set to go. It’s a roughly $8 million project, and most of that money is coming from the federal government, but that’s a really good example of a project that came from the community. The largest infrastructure project that’s going to affect Freeport is the Bay Park Conveyance. It has been described as the most transformative environmental project on Long Island in decades, and is a partnership between the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Nassau County Department of Public Works. The plant and marine life in our back bays here on the South Shore have been depleted by the introduction of nitrogen from the effluent that had been let out by the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant (now the South Shore Water Reclamation Facility). Effluent is not raw sewage, but is treated wastewater that is high in nitrogen, which has particularly depleted the salt marshes. Salt marshes do best when they have really deep root systems. They look for nitrogen, so when
it is too readily available in the water, the plants no longer have to go deep into the ground. The roots become thin and easy to break, so the salt marshes have been disappearing, which has effects on the fishing and marine life, and takes away the natural buffer against flooding during storms – salt marshes are really critical for that. The thing was, how do we get the treated effluent out further out into the ocean? You have to get it past the barrier island of Long Beach. Some genius noticed there was an old unused aqueduct running along Sunrise Highway. So the plan that’s happening now is that they are micro tunneling 40 to 60 feet under the ground from the sewage treatment plant up to Sunrise Highway. They are slip lining the hundred-yearold aqueduct to make sure it is viable, so it can take the water over to Wantagh. Then they are micro tunneling from Sunrise Highway in Wantagh down to the Cedar Creek treatment plant, where they already have the infrastructure to go out several miles into the ocean. Out there, the wastewater becomes so diffuse that it has minimal impact. The construction of the project will have minimal impact on the average person because a lot of the work will be going on at night. People can get more information about it from https://www.bayparkconveyance.org/about.
The other thing that I am really focused on is affordable housing. Here on the island, we have such a dearth of it. Young people just getting started have a difficult time. How do we move forward if we don’t have our millennials staying here, or if all the seniors decide to pack up and leave because it’s more affordable someplace else? If seniors leave, whatever money they would spend locally is gone. We’ve got to keep people here, and we’ve got to figure out how to do it. There’s some affordable housing in the works in LD 5. There’s one nice-looking senior housing project by the Freeport library that is nearly finished, but the slots have been filled for years. It fills a need, but it’s a drop in the bucket. On Main Street, a piece of land by the Roosevelt border was sold by the county to a developer. Affordable housing will be built there, but again, it’s a drop in the bucket because there’s such an incredible need. A lot of people moved out here from the city during the pandemic, and the cost of living in Nassau County is high. None of this is an easy fix. None of it.We need to keep in mind density issues, school capacity issues, infrastructure issues. But it’s something that we all have to work together to come up with the best solutions, because it’s just – necessary.

Freeport received a snowy blanket last Friday night and Saturday morning as a nor’easter blew through the region. Robert Fisenne, Superintendent of the Freeport Department of Public Works, sent about 40 trucks with salt and snowplows out at 3:30 a.m. Friday morning. The crews returned roughly 18 hours later, and went out early Sunday morning for several more hours of cleanup. “It’s a long-duration storm,” said Fisenne at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. “It started last night and it’s going to go till about 3:00 today. And that’s just the snowfall. We’ll go plow a street and 20 minutes later it looks like nobody was even there.” The temperature in Freeport was 16 degrees Fahrenheit at 11:30 a.m., according to the National Weather Service, with wind gusting up to 43 miles per hour. The high reached a frigid 22 degrees. The snow tapered off between 3 and 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon. Though the National Weather Service showed an official total of 10.5 inches of snowfall for Freeport, the wind sculpted deep drifts across sidewalks and roads. The Long Island Rail Road suspended service on Saturday until 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, when regularly scheduled service resumed. The LIRR posted on its Twitter feed: “Safety first!

The FreeporT MeMorial Library, pictured here on Memorial Day in 2010, has benefited from New York State Construction Aid funds, which may be reduced under Governor Kathy Hocul’s proposed budget.
Hochul’s proposed budget may underfund libraries Assemblyman Ed Ra (R-Franklin Square) hosted a press conference at Levittown Library on Monday, calling on Gov. Hochul to restore her proposed $20 million cut to library construction aid included in her most recent budget plan. This cut in funding, said Ra, would be detrimental to libraries in Nassau County and across the state. He said that if Hochul does not amend her executive budget proposal, he will make restoring the funding one of his top priorities during ongoing budget negotiations between the legislature and the governor’s office. Ra is the top Republican on the Ways and Means Committee. “Throughout the pandemic,” said Ra, “our libraries took action to continue to provide essential services to members of our community. Instead of slashing their funding, they should be receiving the aid they need to keep their doors open and services operational for all to enjoy.” “Libraries not only are the hub of our communities but also serve a vital, essential need for so many residents,” said Assemblyman John Mikulin (R,CBethpage) – “not only as a source of books and entertainment, but they provide a safe place for community gatherings, a reliable source of Internet when so many are still without high-speed access all across our state, and critical programming — like blood drives, and educational programming for children and adults alike. Our libraries deserve more from Albany — not less. This is absolutely not the time to be cutting funding for libraries. I adamantly oppose Gov. Hochul’s proposed cut to our libraries and will be fighting against it as budget negotiations continue.”
Freeport Memorial Library Director Lee Ann Moltzen wrote cogent comments about the proposed cuts. “The Governor’s proposed budget includes $14 million in Public Library Construction Aid, which is a decrease of $20 million from the $34 million secured last year,” Moltzen said. “Libraries across the state rely on Construction Aid funds in order to invest in their aging infrastructure and to continue to develop their facilities in ways that best serve their individual communities. “Freeport Memorial Library has received Construction Aid for many projects over the years,” Moltzen continued, “including building our Teen Room (TRAC), renovating the west wing of the library, installing and upgrading security cameras for safety, increasing accessibility by installing automatic doors at both entrances, creating a handicap accessible emergency exit, upgrading our HVAC systems, and more. Most recently, we built a Tween Room, called Inn B Tween; a space dedicated to fifth and sixth graders. The next project that we will be working on is a local history room.” Moltzen expressed determination to fight the cuts. “While Library Aid is only a small percentage (less than 1/10th of 1%) of the total budget for the State,” said Moltzen, “the impact on our communities is tremendous. Advocacy efforts are underway throughout the State, and it is my hope that when preparing the final budget, the legislature will consider the value that libraries bring to their communities and increase their investment in the Library Construction Aid program.”

News briefs Lafazan proposes added county holidays

On Monday, Nassau County Legislator Joshua Lafazan (D-Woodbury) stood with faith leaders from around the county to announce a bill adding Lunar New Year, Eid al-Adha, and Diwali to the Compensated Holidays for Nassau County Officers and Employees. The bill directs County Executive Bruce Blakeman to bargain with unions to offer Nassau County employees paid days off on all three religious holidays:. “The Lunar New Year, Eid al-Adha, and Diwali are celebrated by thousands of our fellow Nassau residents,” said Legislator Lafazan. “Adding them to the list of recognized holidays demonstrates our commitment to understanding and promoting the wonderful diversity of Nassau County and the respect owed to our neighbors who celebrate these joyous occasions. I look forward to seeing them added to the official calendar so that those who take part in them will be able to do so freely and without missing any important work obligations.” “I believe that we should be inclusive of all different faith groups and allow individuals to celebrate their religious holiday with their family and loved ones! I support Josh in this initiative and hope the legislation passes for all the constituents of Nassau County,” said Wazma Wadak Hassan. Wadak Hassan sits on the Afghan Americans of NY, Nassau County Asian American Advisory Council.
community. Selected nominees will be contacted and invited to a virtual celebratory ceremony. The deadline for nominations is February 15. Please enter your nomination at www.nysenate.gov/senators/john-e-brooks.”
“With a rising 80,000 American Muslims in our demographic area of Long Island, it’s a natural evolution and organic evolution to adopt this Eid holiday,” said Sayyeda Mirza, cofounder of the Eid Holiday Coalition Advisory Board. “It’s about time, because it is important to celebrate the Asian festivals,” said Jasbir ‘Jay’ Singh, of the Long Island Diversity Council. “Today, we are here for Eid, Diwali, and the Lunar holidays, and Josh is the person who made it possible in Syosset. He was the first one at the school district and I am lucky to be his constituent.” The Lunar New Year, observed by millions of Chinese Americans, began on Tuesday. Eid al-Adha is celebrated by Muslims all over the world as a major holiday, marking the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights originating in India, is usually celebrated in late October or early November. Currently, a handful of school districts throughout the county already celebrate the Lunar New Year and Diwali. Lafazan proposed adding these paid holidays to the list for county employees to increase awareness and respect for the Lunar New Year, Eid al-Adha, and Diwali across Nassau County. He enacted similar legislation on the Syosset School board for all three holidays.

Freeport’s wrestling team has completed its dual meet schedule and has turned its focus to seeking individual success. While the program is younger than typical seasons, second-year head coach Matt Cellan hopes that around 15 of his wrestlers can qualify this weekend to compete on the big stage at the Nassau County Individual Championships. There was no postseason tournament last year during a truncated 2021 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “They haven’t had an individual championship in two years and it was a buzzkill last year,” Cellan said. “It is something that is motivating them this season.” Senior Terry Ellis is among the Red Devils who Cellan sees as having a legit opportunity to reach the New York State Championships with a top three finish in the counties at 138 pounds. Ellis earned All-County accolades as a sophomore with a fourth place finish at 126 pounds. He was also voted by the coaches last year an All-County wrestler during his truncated junior season. Fellow senior Daven Lewis (215) could also make a run at the states after working hard in the offseason in preparation for his final high school season on the mats. Lewis reached the counties as a sophomore. Justin Reinke and Angel Cazares will also be in the mix for All-County honors and qualifying for the state championships. The two seniors have both thrived at 132 pounds and have experience competing in the counties as sophomores. Juniors Martese Davenport (138) and Kesson Sorsor (152) are possible All-County contenders along with sophomore D’Angelo Gordon (160) and Ivo Gonzalez (152). Cellan is also hoping Kevin Larios (189), Juan Ramos (189) and Jordan Addison (heavyweight) can make deep county runs. Amir Levy has shined as a first-year junior wrestler, who Cellan said has been the most improved on the roster. Freshman Jahari Lloyd has racked up over 20

think they will.” Freeport will take part in county qualifiers this weekend at Long Beach High School. The county championships are scheduled for Feb. 12-13 at Nassau Community College in East Garden City. Those who qualify will compete at the individual New York State Championships at the Times-Union Center in Albany from Feb. 25-26. “They have been through a lot in the last two years,” Cellan said. “These kids stuck it out and toughed it out and they are getting the benefits of it now going into the postseason.”

I went home and I asked my mother, ‘What are they talking about?’ I’m going to be 63 in April, but you know, you never forget things like that.” Levy said she believes adults and children need education to become aware of using expressions like, “Don’t Jew me down.” The commonly used expression means, “Don’t underpay me,” and is rooted in an insulting stereotype of Jews as stingy. “I’m very glad [about the task force],” she said. “I hope they do teach tolerance for everyone.” Levy has never experienced overt anti-Semitism in Freeport. “I’ve lived in Freeport most of my life,” she said, “and I love it. I’m a product of the Freeport school system. I get along with everybody. It’s diverse. I love Freeport.”

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.

Masks will remain in schools until March 2 By Kate NalepiNsKi knalepinski@liherald.com
A crowd of over a hundred unmasked residents, parents and children gathered outside of the Theodore Roosevelt Executive and Legislative Building in Mineola Tuesday with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, demanding that the temporary school mask mandate be overturned. Masks will remain in state schools for now, after the New York Appellate court granted a stay on the in-school mask requirement for businesses, stores and
schools on Monday. The order will remain in place until the appeal is decided, and the state has until March 2 to file court papers. “I commend the Appellate Division, Second Department for granting a full stay to keep our masking regulations in place for the duration of our appeal,” Governor Kathy Hochul said in a press release Monday. Blakeman opposed the decision. “COVID cases are down 86% state-wide,” he said, “yet the governor refuses to even tell [us] ... what metric must be reached to lift her unconstitutional mandate.”

Q. We’re thinking about how to make our house
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.

Sen Kirsten Gillibrand, a Democrat from New York, last week called on Congress to provide $7 million to fund evidencebased training programs to reduce implicit bias in maternal health, and $25 million to establish a program to deliver integrated health care services to pregnant women and new mothers that will reduce the inordinately large number of maternal deaths among Black non-Hispanic women. It is an urgent issue, including here in Nassau County, one that the Herald first called on government officials to address in 2019. We are pleased to see that Gillibrand has taken up the cause. Three years ago, the Herald undertook a year-long series examining racism in Nassau. We led with an exposé on issues of maternal health faced by Black women throughout the county. In particular, we looked at the group Birth Justice Warriors, founded by Hofstra University Professor Dr. Martine Hackett and the Rev. Dr. Nellie Taylor-Walthrust, a pastor and the director of outreach services for the North Shore Child Family Guidance Center, a nonprofit mental health agency with offices in Roslyn Heights, Manhasset and Westbury. Among the central issues that Birth Justice Warriors is working to address is infant mortality, which is a leading indicator of a community’s well-being, according to the Nassau County Department of Health’s 2016-18 Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan. When children are dying in high numbers at birth — the start of life — there are probably myriad

letters Bail-reform misperceptions To the Editor: Re the editorial “Bail reform law still needs more tweaking” (Jan. 20-26): The Herald perpetuated a false narrative created by opponents of the law. Contrary to statements designed to sway the public, judges are not prohibited from setting cash bail for someone arrested for gun possession. The repetition of this misperception, common among candidates and police officials, contributes, if not causes, the “high degree of electoral support” for reforming the law. As made clear by the new law, Criminal Procedure Law 510.10(4), cash bail can be set for any qualifying felony enumerated in Penal Law Section 70.02. That section includes the felony offense of possession of a loaded firearm, a Class C violent felony. While it is true that cash bail is not mandatory for such a charge, it is also true that it never was.
other health concerns in a community. In the majority of white communities across Nassau, the infant mortality rate ranged from 0 to 3 in 1,000 births in 201416, according to the state Department of Health. Meanwhile, in most communities of color, the infant mortality rate was three to nine times that. In its annual rankings of healthiest counties in New York, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, working with data from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ranked Nassau the second-healthiest of the state’s 62 counties this year. When that data is broken down into individual ZIP codes, however, a disturbing pattern is made clear in communities of color, Hackett said: Babies there are significantly more likely to die during or shortly after birth than in predominately white communities. County officials identified nine communities of color and communities with large minority populations — Elmont, Freeport, Glen Cove, Hempstead, Inwood, Long Beach, Roosevelt, Uniondale and Westbury — with measurably greater health concerns than nearby white communities. Nassau is the 13th-wealthiest county in the U.S., with an average annual household income of around $93,000, according to census data. “The affluence of the county as a whole masks the needs of these severely underserved selected communities,” the county’s report states. Taken as a whole, the infant mortality rate in these communities is “nearly double that of the rest of the county,” the report continues. The knee-jerk reaction is to blame the
discrepancy on a discrete factor like income level, according to Hackett: Women with fewer financial resources are unable to afford the same level of care that women of greater means can. But statistics tell a more complicated story. How, for example, does one explain Elmont, a solidly middle-class community of color with an annual average household income of $94,353, above the county average? It has the second-highest infant mortality rate in Nassau. Access to health care alone “is not sufficient” to explain the disparities in health outcomes, Hackett said. Bias and systemic racism also play their parts, she believes. Clearly, issues of implicit bias, and at times outright racism, come into play, even in the medical field. It’s time that the federal government study and address them so all of us can better understand the psycho-social complexities of the doctor-patient relationship that can determine maternal health outcomes. February is Black History Month. Historically, there is a great deal of mistrust in Black communities of the medical field because of past wrongs, not the least of which was the infamous “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male” from 1932 to 1972, when Black sharecroppers with the venereal disease were left untreated to see what would happen, even after penicillin, a cure for syphilis, was widely available after 1945. The only way to build trust in Black communities is to address their issues head-on, with science-based studies and programs, as Gillibrand has proposed. Congress thus should appropriate the funds that the senator seeks.

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

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.

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.
