Winter Stand Down carries on Hundreds of vets pick up food and essentials

By RONNY REYES rreyes@liherald.com

Hundreds of Long Island veterans made their way to the former New York State Armory in Freeport to pick up turkeys, other food and essentials at the 32nd annual Veterans Winter Stand Down on Tuesday.

The Nassau Veterans Service Agency runs the event, which is held in the summer in Elmont and the winter in Freeport.

Despite Covid-19 upticks in the county, VSA Director Ralph Esposito and County Executive Laura Curran said the Stand Down needed to happen to ensure that veterans in need were cared for this winter.

“My team and I have worked for over a month in setting up the Stand Down to make it as safe as possible,” said Esposito, a Navy veteran. “My volunteers aren’t afraid of Covid, because we’re here to take care of our fel-

low veterans.”

“Many of our veterans are in that vulnerable population to Covid, as are our volunteers,” Curran added. “Their safety is our priority as we made this ‘pandemic pivot’ at the Stand Down.”

Unlike previous years, the event, like so many others this year, followed a drive-through, pick-up format, in the interest of Continued on page 4

Village, schools review Covid-19 policies questions about the village’s Covid-19 response can contact his office at (516) 377-2252.

On Monday and Tuesday, Freeport High School switched from in-person to remote-only learning on Monday and Tuesday because of a positive case in the building.

To date this year, about 35 students, teachers and staff members in the Freeport School District have tested positive for Covid-19, according to the State Department of Health.

“The amount of fear, anxiety and concern over these cases is understandable,” Superintendent Dr. Kishore Kuncham said at a recent Board of Education meeting, “but we take action to make sure everyone stays safe.

Positive cases in the schools have not led to any additional outbreaks.”

Dr. Alice Kane, assistant superintendent for educational and administrative services, and Dr. Helen Kanellopoulous, director of special education and pupil personnel services, explained that when the schools are alerted about a positive case, the district immediately contacts the individual and the family.

The district then begins contract tracing to determine who was in contact with the positive individual. Staff and students are questioned about mask wearing, maintaining social distancing and what type of contact did they had with the person. All the information is relayed to the county health department, which works with the district to determine a course of action.

The schools are also cleaned and disinfected every day, with additional deep cleaning in areas where the infected individual was, if the health department deems it necessary. Emails and letters are sent out to the parents of guardians of students in the affected school

“We work quickly and under the guidance of the Department of Health when we make decisions like closing schools or asking people to quarantine,” Kanellopoulous said.

“No cases are alike . . . and we try to notify everyone in the buildings without going over confidential information,” Kane added.

District officials also said that there have been delays in contacting the Health Department as cases increase in the county, adding pressure on district officials to act quickly when a case arises in one of the schools.

Kuncham said that students, faculty and staff mem-

bers should avoid coming to school if they feel sick and urged them to be responsible to help combat the spread of Covid-19.

While New York City schools closed last week, Curran has repeatedly said she does not plan to close schools in the county, but she did ask residents to overcome “pandemic fatigue” and continue with Covid-19 safety protocols to avoid such a drastic measure.

“We are not built to withstand a shutdown,” Curran said during a news conference in Freeport on Nov. 19.

“The decisions we make now will dictate how we’re able to celebrate the holidays and help keep our schools and businesses open in the winter.”

Curran encourages local holiday shopping

By ToNY BellISSIMo tbellissimo@liherald.com

Last Friday afternoon, outside Matty’s Toy Stop, in Rockville Centre, Nassau County Executive Laura Curran was joined by the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce and the Nassau County Industrial Development Agency to announce the “Shop Safe, Shop Local Scavenger Hunt,” encouraging residents to shop and dine at small businesses struggling from the impact of the pandemic.

It’s Nassau’s second annual scavenger hunt to promote shopping local during the holiday season; however, this year it has been expanded from one day to one week.

The event will kick off this Saturday, Nov. 28, and run through Friday, Dec. 4. There will be one winner each day, and no repeat winners will be allowed. The first to complete the hunt each day successfully will receive a $100 gift card, courtesy of the Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce, to be used to shop locally.

“Laura Curran and other local politicians like Anthony D’Esposito and Todd Kaminsky have been extremely supportive to small businesses since the shutdown in March,” said Jeannine Palladino, owner of Jeannine’s Gifts, at 6 N. Park Ave. in Rockville Centre. “It’s really been a struggle, and I admire how hard they’ve worked to keep small businesses going,” she said.

All purchases must be made at small businesses within the same community in Nassau County.

Chris Evans, owner of Press 195 restaurant, on North Park Avenue in Rockvillel Centre, said he was a big fan of Curran’s and appreciates everything she has done to assist struggling business owners.

“Supporting local businesses is more important than ever,” Evans said. “These

times are very difficult for many.”

At the news conference, Curran urged consumers to make their purchases at local small businesses. “Our small businesses, especially those in our once bustling downtowns, that employ so many of our neighbors, families and friends, are struggling to survive,” Curran said. “You can help throw them a lifeline just by doing your holiday shopping at the mom and pop shops in your community — rather than online or

at big box retailers. I hope residents take advantage of this engaging shopping game and have some fun while supporting and safely exploring local small businesses — you never know the hidden gems you may find.”

Richard Kessel, chairman of the Nassau County IDA, added, “The Industrial Development Agency and our sister organization, the Local Economic Assistance Corporation, have worked tirelessly during this pandemic to do what we could to assist small businesses during these challenging times, including loans and PPE giveaways.

This is just another effort of support to promote shopping safely and shopping locally to support the brick-and-mortar businesses that are the fabric of this county.”

Small Business Saturday was first launched by American Express in 2010 to promote shopping at small businesses in between Black Friday and Cyber Monday. This collaborative event expands on Small Business Saturday and is intended to highlight the economic impact and importance of shopping and dining locally.

“The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce is proud to be partnering with Nassau County Executive Laura Curran and the Nassau County IDA in this our second annual scavenger hunt,” said Julia Marchsella, past president of the NCCC. “We are grateful for the opportunity to recognize our local business owners and chamber members who eagerly await your safe shopping experience.”

Ralph Esposito, Right, outlined the new process for the 32nd annual winter Veterans Stand Down at a news conference in Freeport on Nov. 19.

VSA adapts for veterans in need amid pandemic continued from front page preventing crowding inside the armory.

Only volunteers were allowed in the building. Freeport police were on hand, directing traffic on Babylon Turnpike to allow cars in and out of the armory.

Volunteers greeted veterans, who stayed in their vehicles, and brought over packages of non-perishable food, winter jackets, boots, underwear and toiletries. Frozen turkeys were also distributed to help veterans and their families celebrate Thanksgiving.

The Rev. Danilo Archbold, pastor of the New Jerusalem Cathedral in Elmont, donated about 350 coats to the Stand Down to help his fellow veterans. “I’m proud to donate these jackets,” Archbold said. “It means a lot to give back those who are truly in need.”

Those without vehicles were served at the armory’s front entrance.

Among those volunteering at the Stand Down was Mayor Robert Kennedy, a Navy veteran. “It’s an honor to still be able to host the program this year in Freeport,” Kennedy said. “The pandemic has caused greater need in our communities, so this is a great opportunity.”

During past Stand Downs, however, the VSA invited organizations and business-

es that serve veterans to help connect them with housing, food, health care and employment, as needed.

Many veterans had their hair cut and teeth cleaned during past Stand Downs, but those services were not offered this year because of the pandemic. Despite the change, Esposito said the VSA is still helping veterans with these services.

Since the pandemic hit Nassau in March, Esposito and his team have worked to overcome the new challenges posed to the VSA, such converting the food pantry to a drive-through pantry to allow veterans to pick up their food with minimal contact.

The VSA also ramped up its transportation services to help drive veterans to their doctor appointments, and it offers virtual counseling for veterans.

“The VSA has done an amazing job during the pandemic,” Curran said.

“They’re dedicated to each and every one of our vets.”

“If a vet ever needs anything, they can call our office, 24/7,” Esposito added.

Freeport’s Bernie and June Rader spoke with students at the De La Salle School about a historic event in World War II.

Freeport’s Raders continue teaching history at De La Salle Word War II veteran Bernie Rader and his wife, June, both of Freeport, visited the De La Salle School in November to share Rader’s story with the school’s seventh and eight grade classes.

Keeping with the lesson surrounding

Veterans Day, Rader recounted his story in the U.S. Army’s Infantry Division in France’s west coast in 1944. Rader’s patrol was ambushed, and Rader himself was injured in the attack with shrapnel piercing his legs and arms.

Rader was able to hide his Jewish identity from the Nazi soldiers and taken in as a prisoner of war, eventually taking part in a historic exchange of prisoners where 149 Allied soldiers were able to be released to an American base.

Despite the pandemic, Bernie and June Rader continue to share this story locally and aboard to acknowledge all those involved in saving those 149 Allied soldiers.

Heart attacks and strokes don’t stay home.

Don’t avoid the ER out of anxiety.

Don’t die of doubt.

Don’t stay silent and don’t stay home.

If you have an emergency, call 9-1-1.

When seconds count, the hospital is the safest place to be.

Bringing local sports home every week

Herald sports Hofstra takes more aggressive approach

By TONY BELLISSIMO tbellissimo@liherald.com

Last season was a difficult one for Hofstra’s women’s basketball program in terms of wins and losses, but there’s plenty of reasons for second-year head coach Danielle Santos Atkinson to be optimistic about the future.

The Pride was unable to beat any of its Colonial Athletic Association rivals in 201920 and finished 3-27 overall while being outscored by an average of 15.6 points per game.

Its victories came against Hartford, Morgan State and Campbell.

“There were a lot of factors going into my first season and our eyes were set on a bigger picture,” said Santos Atkinson, a former Hofstra assistant who returned to campus last season to become the 12th head coach in program history. “We saw a lot of individual development and laid the foundation,” she added. “This season we’re looking to be much more aggressive at both ends of the floor. We want to play faster on offense and pressure the ball and generate more turnovers on defense.”

The effort to close the gap on the rest of the CAA will be led by two full-time returning starters and one part-time returning starter, all of whom Atkinson is counting on to take their games to another level, along with a talented group of newcomers.

Jaylen Hines started all 30 games in 201920 and led the team in scoring (11.6 ppg), rebounding (8.8 rpg) and steals while shooting nearly 50 percent from the floor (139-for281) to rank third in the conference. A 5-foot10 redshirt junior forward, she poured in a career-high 30 points against Charleston and is a “walking double-double,” Santos Atkinson said.

“Jaylen is our most proven player and she’s returned with a lot more confidence,” Santos Atkinson said. “She worked on her game and her body big time during the quarantine. She has great touch around the rim and a positive demeanor that makes her a leader.”

Sophomore Sorelle Ineza started all but two games last season at point guard and chipped in 8 points per game with a teamleading 32 minutes per game and 85 assists.

From Quebec, Canada, Ineza was named to the CAA All-Rookie Team. “We put an awful lot on Sorelle’s shoulders last season,” Santos Atkinson said. “Being a freshman point guard is tough. Her game evolved over the season and now we’ll look to move her off the ball and give her more opportunities to shoot.”

A couple of candidates to run the point are Rosi Nicholson, a junior coming off a strong season for Santa Fe Community College in Florida, and Jaysyni Knight, a junior transfer from the University of Pittsburgh who may not be eligible to play until next season pending a waiver decision on the NCAA’s transfer policy.

Another former Pitt Panther, 6-foot-3 redshirt junior forward Jaala Henry, practiced with the Pride all of last season while sitting

out under the transfer rule. “She knows our system and is ready to contribute major minutes,” Santos Atkinson said. “She’s versatile with good shooting range and rebounding ability.”

Hofstra’s third returnee with starting experience is junior guard JaKayla Brown, who averaged 6 points per game over 24 appearances, including a dozen starts.

“JaKayla’s worked hard during the offseason and is an improved shooter who’ll help us at both ends.”

Santos Atkinson believes the Pride will be a deeper squad than last season — and needs to be. “We want to play faster so we need fresh legs off the bench,” she noted.

The Pride is scheduled to open the campaign with a non-conference game at Siena on Nov. 25. The CAA slate will once again include 18 games, but due to Covid-19 the format has been adjusted to limit travel and help ensure the health and safety of studentathletes, coaches and staff. In lieu of a traditional, home-and-home round robin schedule, teams will play against the same opponent at the same site on consecutive days, primarily weekends.

“On paper, the conference is just as strong as last season,” Santos Atkinson said. “We’re focused on the little things and what’s going to make us competitive every single game.”

The CAA regular season will tip off Friday, Jan. 1, and conclude on Sunday, Feb. 28.

Games impacted by the pandemic could be made up at various alternate dates. Hofstra opens CAA action against William & Mary.

As of now, fans are not expected to be permitted to attend games. “No fans is something we’ll have to get used to,” Santos Atkinson said. “When it’s game time, we just have to get locked in.”

THE QUESTION: How

do you cook a turkey?

You have to get something sharp to cut up the turkey. Put some salt on it, and then you put it on the stove for about 30 minutes. Or if you have a phone, you can Google it!

MADELINE K. Kindergarten

Buy a turkey and cut it up. Put it in the oven, and cook it for 13 minutes with hot dogs. I love to eat the chicken part the best.

LIAM B. Kindergarten

I think my dad has a baking soda box to put on it, but he never cooked a turkey before. I guess you put it in a pot or pan with cheese and M&Ms on it and then cook it. I don’t eat the bone part, just the chicken part.

GIADDA I. Kindergarten

I think you put some kind of grease inside it to make it soft to chew. When it comes out, you decorate it with salad for its hair, bones for its legs and a carrot for its nose.

Mackenzie U. 1st Grade

Buy a 10-pound turkey, season it with any type of spices, like pepper and hot sauce. Then put it in the oven for about 30 minutes.

SEBASTIAN H. 1st Grade

Put the turkey in the oven for 30 minutes, bring it out, then eat it with a fork with corn, chicken, rice, meatballs and broccoli. When you’re done, put the plate in the sink, and then wash your hands.

LocaL officiaLs, grocers and food pantry organizers celebrated as Freeport sent out thousands of food items to help the food insecure.

Thanksgiving spirit thrives in Freeport The Village of Freeport teamed up with local grocers to donate thousands of turkeys, canned goods and other Thanksgiving fixings to local food pantries on Nov. 18.

Mayor Robert Kennedy and Jenny Jorge, president of the Freeport Chamber of Commerce, led the ceremony at Gala Foods as they packed vehicles full of food to help food pantries meet the increased demand caused by the pandemic.

“The pandemic has caused many to be out of work or earning less, so it’s important to have an event like this to distribute food to the people who need it the most,” Kennedy said.

Gala Foods Supermarket, Gala Fresh Farms and the National Supermarkets Association donated the food.

Long Beach Founder, Long Beach empowerment network

ack in 2017, I began to notice that in Long Beach, there was no organization that helped empower women in business or in their careers. I had been president of the Long Beach City Council, and so I knew a thing or two about getting things organized.

I wanted to connect with the women of Long Beach. I needed a place to talk with them to get support for my idea. So I called the Long Beach Library, and they were more than happy to help.

They provided us space for monthly meetings, and in the pre-Covid days, we were attracting 40 to 50 women a meeting.

We talked about women’s health, the challenge of balancing work and family life, an especially important issue for women. We talked about finances and how to best finance a business. Women were telling me they were still having trouble getting loans from banks. We all agreed we needed these sessions.

Now, in the Covid era, our meetings continue, but of course they are all virtual and still are on a monthly basis. We’re getting 20 to 30 women a month. Life is more difficult than before Covid, but women still find the time to attend, and they still agree we need this.

My background in Long Beach politics and as a professor of communications at Nassau County Community College is particularly helpful in running the meetings, finding the best speakers and helping women go in the direction they choose.

Our next virtual meeting is Wednesday, Dec. 2, at 7 pm. You can find us on Zoom at Long Beach Empowerment Network. The ID to get into the meeting is 6628911877.

ne was the village’s events that was supposed to take place in late March was Post 44’s annual walk-a-thon to raise funds for our veterans. Just because volunteers couldn’t walk with us this year, we told them that can still have their boots on the ground to help walk in spirit with our veterans.

If you can, we would appreciate your consideration of any amount to help our veterans.

We held our first walk-a-thon in 2018, and we had Post 44 veterans walking side by side with children on Franklin Avenue. Our slogan for the walk was, ‘They march for us, we walk for them.’ We ended up collecting $800 in donations that year. As for this year’s walka-thon, the [New York State] Department of State advised Post 44 that people interested in donating to veterans that are hospitalized, living in state homes, awaiting placements or need of shelter, can send checks to the American Legion at P.O. Box 44, Malverne, N.Y. 11565.

We thought that this would also be a great project for children at home to reach out to all veterans. If you wish to send a card with or without a donation, we would be very thankful.

Patient transPorter, Mount sinai south nassau oceanside

s the lockdowns were implemented and the world’s attention was locked in on the relentless surge of Covid-19, my colleagues and I at Mount Sinai South Nassau united with one mission: We were going to face it head-on with our patients and be with them every step of the way until the day we joyfully ushered them out of the main entrance of the hospital.

I could see the fear in our patients when they arrived at the hospital doors and in their loved ones who dropped them off. When I returned home from work to my family, I was just as fearful that they might catch it from me; obviously, that was the last thing I wanted. While I knew that the hospital’s infectious disease and quality and safety teams had implemented the protocols and measures that would keep me and my colleagues safe while at work, I always had this nagging thought of "what if.” I often good-naturedly reminded my wife that my years of working in a school reinforced the habit of sanitizing my hands.

Each day I returned home from work, I immediately went to my bedroom without greeting or hugging my wife and then headed to the shower. Purposely avoiding the running hugs from my children as I entered our home was something I had never imagined having to do. As the lockdown intensified and our loved ones and neighbors sheltered in place, I went to work each day hoping that today would be better than yesterday.

his year we’re doing a drive-through food donation.

We have volunteers from the Kiwanis Club, Lions Club, Kennedy High School, the parish and church itself, Stop & Shop, Stew Leonard’s, [Nassau County Legislator] Steve Rhoads and community members. We are estimating about 100 volunteers.

We make sure not only to feed them but also pray with them.

People have been affected so much, so you are not just giving to a food bank, but can encounter and experience and love with the families live and in person.

The little things do mean a lot. We take the little things for granted every day. But that is what we value the most, and the families see it as a tremendous blessing.

In a lot of ways, these families depend upon us going the extra mile. Every year we give more. If the cupboards are low, you name it, and we’re putting it in there and we want to give in abundance.

We are always at the ready. I wish that everyone would be able to experience this kind of generosity at least once in their life and be a part of something bigger than themselves.

Q. As a contractor who Ask The reads your column, I don’t always agree with you, but Architect generally I find things interesting, especially knowing other people are going through the same things as me. I have a strange situation I wanted your opinion about and also wanted readers to know about, since it has never happened before, to me, anyway. I have a really nice prospective job to do onte eeper that will keep me and my employees busy through the winter. It’s a complete interior renovation in an upscale, very large apartment. The problem is, I was just told there would be another contractor on the job. Weird, huh? After months of interviews and checking my references, I was told the owner would kind of “bid” items out as we go along, like if my number was too high for finish work in the master bathroom, they would take the other guy, or if they needed me to only do the flooring that week, even though I was supposed to do everything, they would give me a “day or two notice.” Have you ever heard of anything like that? How can I make a living this way? What do you think?

A. Not only is it strange, it’s a great way to lose your business. I wouldn’t even consider such an arrangement. I have experienced similar setups, and I do mean “setup,” when an owner wants a building design, but after many design meetings, walls and spaces finally arranged, structure determined with room for ductwork, plumbing and electrical, the owner hands the job to a mystery interior designer who moves wall locations, violates code, ignores ductwork and plumbing locations — basically wrecking the building’s ability to work as a “system” in favor of random-ordered walls. When the owner does this, it sets us up for failure.

It’s possible that owners don’t understand the consequences of their narrowed thinking. Your dilemma is financial and logistical, and worst of all, you’re being set up to fail at your job, one for which you could end up being blamed for work you didn’t even do. There’s the liability problem with whose workmanship caused damages, whose employee may get hurt because of cross-over work that created a dangerous condition, and whose insurance will be used to cover the scope of the job.

The owner, it seems, wants to be the contractor, treating two competing companies as subcontractors. Maybe the owner has figured out a way to save money on every item while watching workers scrounge for morsels of tasks to try to make payroll that week. This is a bait-and-switch operation where you believe you’ll be doing the work, as a professional, setting up the dates to deploy which employee or subcontractor, arranging for tools and delivered materials, only to get a call the day before informing you that the parallel party will be stepping in. You may regret being set up. Good luck!

Giving thanks in 2020

i

n a year when so much has gone awry — so many lives lost, businesses battered, jobs vanished — it strains the imagination to think what we might be thankful for, particularly as the nation enters its second wave of the coronavirus pandemic. The coming months will likely be, as President-elect Joseph Biden has said, a “dark winter.”

Thanksgiving is, however, all about the audacious nature of hope.

The holiday, first celebrated in the fall of 1621, commemorates the struggle that the original Pilgrims faced and, against all odds, overcame in the New World — and the kinship they felt with the Native Americans who rescued them, helping to provide sustenance to a relatively small band of people who otherwise might have starved. The roughly 50 colonists at the original harvest celebration in Plymouth, Mass., were outnumbered by Native Americans two to one, according to History.com.

The 100 Pilgrims who arrived on the Mayflower had seen much death between 1620 and 1621: Some 78 percent of the women died during the first winter. Yet they persevered, and survived.

So shall the American people today — thanks in no small measure to our heroes

— the doctors, nurses, EMTS, firefighters, police officers, teachers, teachers’ aides, sanitation workers, railroad workers, subway and bus drivers, custodians, cooks, waiters and waitresses, supermarket employees and so many others — who have kept us safe, our education system up and running, and our economy moving. When many others were able to work from home, they put their lives on the line to do their jobs.

As a society, we should take a moment and reflect on their sacrifices over the past nine months.

We can also be thankful for our family and friends. We may not be able to shower them with hugs and kisses as we might want, but we can keep them in our thoughts and close to our hearts.

And we can be thankful for the miracles of modern science. Only 100 years ago, the 1918 pandemic ran wild for two years, killing 50 million worldwide, including 675,000 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Thanks to technology that allows many of us to work remotely and socially distance, to date we have seen a tenth of the 500 million cases that the world did in

1918-19, and because of modern medical technology, the death toll thus far is onefiftieth what it was then.

So, while the number of infections and deaths today is unacceptably high, it is not close to the level of suffering experienced a hundred years ago — and let us hope and pray that it remains that way.

Likely, it will. On Saturday, the innovative New York company Regeneron Pharmaceuticals received emergency-use authorization for its experimental antibody treatment for the coronavirus. President Trump received the treatment, and by all accounts it was highly effective. The drug is designed to prevent patients from becoming severely ill by imitating the body’s natural defense system. We can only say, wow!

If all goes well, the Regeneron treatment should prevent many deaths, enabling health officials to safely roll out at least one of the vaccines now in the pipeline without undue political pressure. By April, we could indeed round the corner on this terrible pandemic, says Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

Yes, there has been much despair this year, but there is much hope as well.

County does right by small businesses

W

e are pleased that Nassau County Executive Laura Curran is once again promoting small businesses ahead of the holiday season — which is vital this pandemic year.

Last Friday, Curran and county Industrial Development Agency Chairman Richard Kessel came to Rockville Centre to promote an innovative contest, aptly titled the Shop Safe, Shop Local Scavenger Hunt, and we are encouraging readers to take part in it.

The contest, which will be held for one week starting Saturday, will work like this: Complete four of eight tasks in your community, like buying breakfast at a local eat-

ery or making a purchase at a local shop, and take a photo of yourself — masked — at each location, along with the product you purchased and your receipt. Then email it to scavengerhunt@nassaucountyny.gov or share it on Facebook.

The first person who finishes all four tasks and registers them on each day of the contest will receive a $100 gift card.

All purchases must be made at small businesses in a single community on the day of the contest. Online and delivery orders are eligible. The complete set of

letters More praise for doctor’s column To the Editor: As Bob Praver did in last week’s letters, I also applaud Dr. Eric Last’s column, “Surely we shouldn’t be fighting over wearing masks” (Nov. 12-18), on the urgency of wearing masks in fighting the coronavirus

pandemic. But while Last’s exhortation that we must “treat others as you’d want to be treated yourself ” was well-intentioned, I believe it would fall on deaf ears when directed not only at those who, at this late date, scoff at the wearing of masks and social distancing, but also those who deliberately promote and take part in large, illegal social gatherings with no consideration of taking measures to counter the spread

instructions can be found at www.nassaucountygov/shoplocal.

As we noted in last week’s editorial, “Remember to shop locally this holiday season”: “Despite the crisis, we encourage you to consider patronizing our mom-and-pop shops, many of which now offer their goods online. Abandoning our local businesses would be devastating on so many levels.”

T

he coronavirus pandemic has created a variety of hardships that have left families and children in distress. Social isolation. A mounting death toll. An estimated 8 million Americans falling into poverty. We have entered uncharted territory, and uncertainty continues as cases continue to rise across the U.S. Grief is a normal reaction — grieving not just the loss of life, but also the loss of normalcy and freedom when a disaster occurs. So what happens when we add even more stress to families sharon and their children, skariah particularly when schools close?

The trickledown effect of all this misfortune can dramatically weigh on kids, especially if they don’t have access to mental health resources at home. Typically, mental health symptoms are identified at school, by their teachers and peers, social workers and guidance counselors.

Children need a routine and consistency. Remote learning and social isolation will continue to uproot them. Children

with autism also face challenges with irritability, anxiety and behavioral disturbances. And the erratic nature of schools’ opening and closing (albeit temporarily) can have a lasting effect.

A recent study in JAMA Pediatrics showed that more than 22 percent of students in the Hubei province of China reported symptoms of depression, and more than 18 percent had anxiety symptoms, when schools closed for over a month. A second study, in the Journal of Pediatrics, determined that younger children (ages 3 to 6) were more inclined to show fear or clinginess, where older kids (6 to 18) were more likely to show inattention and persistent inquiry.

Clinging, inattention and irritability were the severe psychological conditions demonstrated by children in all age groups.

School closures — short or long — are unfortunately bound to happen until a safe and effective vaccine is available.

Prepare to take care of your child now.

First, children need outlets. In early childhood, play is important for development in the physical, verbal and emotional domains. Build that imaginary fort,

LeTTers of the virus. The time for these selfish and greedy individuals to be reasoned with has long passed.

These people should be penalized for their actions, which continue to put the rest of us at even greater risk of acquiring the disease, and severe penalties should also be meted out to participants in these gatherings, not just their greed-bound organizers.

If anything, these miscreants should consider the 17th-century English poet John Donne’s poem, telling us not to ask “for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.” They might also be reminded that, indeed, “no man is an island,” as Donne wrote. It appears, though, that they do not realize or accept this concept, even though we are all in this fight — together.

We must protect communities of color To the Editor: The Washington Post last Friday published a new analysis of the impact of Covid-19 on people of color. It reported, “Nearly nine months after the virus exploded in

encourage storytelling, toast s’mores in your backyard. For adolescents, it’s important that they develop their own sense of identity but also explore peer relationships. Encourage this — in a socially distanced, safe way.

Second, seek normalcy. The goal is to foster continued development, even if your children can’t attend school in person. They want to feel safe — an important tool for parents to use during the crisis. Make sure you provide protection and consistency in an otherwise uncertain time. Talk to them about their feelings. Ensure their safety by creating an atmosphere of stability.

Third, adapt to the environment. Summer may be gone, but you can still enjoy the outdoors safely during the fall, and even on some nice winter days. When the extreme cold sets in, continue building on the elements of safety and fun you have already introduced. Have family game nights. Schedule a movie night. Cook and bake together as a family. Designate a reading hour.

Although it may be colder, it’s important to get exercise, so go for a walk or a hike or a brisk bike ride. There are also online exercises for kids, like yoga and others.

Fourth — and most important — pay attention. Younger children can’t always express their distress, anxiety or fear.

Their behavior may regress. Look for the signs, which include an increase in crying or neediness, more temper tantrums or somatic symptoms (headaches, stomach aches) than normal. Older children may also show increased anger and irritability.

If you think your children or adolescents may need a mental health professional, don’t hesitate. They are acting that way because they need help. So watch out for them to verbalize any suicidal thoughts, ongoing sleep disturbances, a decline in overall functioning (hygiene, grooming), aggression or worsening substance use. If you see these signs, seek treatment.

Following these steps may help keep children mentally fit during one of our harshest times. Nothing can replace life as we knew it pre-Covid, but you can manage this new normal and keep your kids safe, too.

Sharon Skariah, M.D., is the director of child and adolescent psychiatry for Zucker Hillside Hospital. She is also an assistant professor at the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/ Northwell.

Black, Asian, Native American and Hispanic patients still die far more frequently than white patients, even as death rates have plummeted for all races and age groups.”

As Covid-19 continues to spread aggressively nationwide, it is crucial that government officials at all levels — federal, state and local — address the disproportionate impact of the pandemic on people of color. Immediate attention should be paid to issues such as the availability of testing facilities in communities of color, access to health care, inequitable treatment once access is provided and priorities for providing vaccines once they are available. The evidence is clear: Government owes it to all Americans to ensure fair and equal access to health care, regardless of race, in this pandemic — and always.

Give thanks the election is over, and put the knives away

esides the sad deaths of a quartermillion Americans, the pandemic claimed another victim this month: the re-election of President Trump.

Had the election been held in February, Trump would have won against any Democrat. Unemployment was historically low, there were more jobs than job seekers, incomes were up, 401(k)s were high, manufacturing was robust, deregulation liberated small business, he engineered a more assertive U.S. trade policy, no new wars were waged, hostilities were being JoHn abroad, o’ConneLL reduced Middle East peace deals were coming and consumer spending was strong.

Trump’s February re-election wouldn’t have been unanimous. Millions who prioritize the environment and climate change would have voted for a Democrat. People who disagreed with Trump’s right-to-life stand would have opposed him. Citizens who find him repulsive wouldn’t have voted for him. His obnoxious narcissism didn’t help, though Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s and former President Barack Obama’s obvious vanity is overlooked by a worshipful media.

T

But the ante-pandemic Trump would have won. Even in November he garnered 4 million more votes than Obama did in 2008, 8 million more than Obama did in 2012, 8 million more than Hillary Clinton in 2016. Trump 2020 even beat Trump 2016 by nearly 11 million votes.

Yet still, to the cheers of nearly 80 million Biden voters, Trump is likely to have lost his re-election bid after his legal challenges conclude.

The virus exposed his myopic focus on the economy and jobs and his minimizing of other critical concerns. Trump all along has preached a gospel of nationalistic capitalism. John F. Kennedy’s brilliant speechwriter, Ted Sorenson, once used the now famous aphorism, “A rising tide lifts all boats,” in a presidential address. Trump not only believed in that theory, he achieved such an uplifted economy. Unemployment was at 3.5 percent in February, the lowest since 1969. Americans were working, getting paid more, saving more, spending more. The increased demand encouraged more trade under better trade deals, such as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. Retirement savings plans were doing well, helping limited-income seniors feel more secure about paying their bills. Most people were living better. A pre-election poll —

that received little press attention — revealed that most people felt they were better off than they were four years ago.

Then the pandemic struck. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told the president and the nation in January that Covid-19 wasn’t a major threat. That’s all the rationale the country’s CEO needed to continue prioritizing economic growth. He knew that a pandemic had the potential to reverse all of his economic accomplishments and cut America’s flourishing growth off at the knees. While he took actions, like stopping incoming travel from China, ordering vaccine research and eventual distribution to commence at warp speed, sending hospital ships to California and New York, and ramping up ventilator production, he eschewed leading a national, coordinated effort. Nor did he inspire an America-wide “Let’s fight together” effort of mutual protection.

This lack of a federal-level, all-out war on the virus gave voters the impression that Trump saw the pandemic as an annoying distraction, eclipsing the sun from shining on his accomplishments. The virus wasn’t a problem he could build, deal or fire his way out of. He ran for president to be the manager in chief, and he was good at it, but when the pandemic came,

ut just imagine if the vote had taken place in February, before the pandemic.

we needed an empathizer and inspirer, a credible leader who could take — and eloquently explain — tough actions, and he wasn’t that.

Covid-19 delivered the fatal wound. And when Trump caught the virus at the height of the campaign — probably by setting a poor example by not wearing a mask and ignoring social distancing — the spotlight narrowed onto his failure to lead, and all his achievements went dark.

He had fended off many cuts before.

Long knives had been out even before Inauguration Day 2017: An indisputably far-left press in cahoots with social media moguls to censor MAGA speech; an infuriatingly condescending socialist elite; millionaire athletes and other entertainers; anarchists, arsonists and rioters disturbing the domestic tranquility and opposition-party conspiracies each drew blood. With little help, he prevailed against them all.

President-elect Joseph Biden’s supporters can celebrate their victory this Thanksgiving weekend. Trump’s fans should also be thankful, because the national pride they’ve relished for the last four years will prevail. Trump ignited it, but it was ours before him and will be ours after him. Reasonable patriots on both political sides make America great. We can all be thankful for that.

It wasn’t easy: How I got to see my grandkids

he following is not a how-to for anyone else. It’s just my story. We all have to maneuver our way through the grinding deprivations of the coronavirus as best we can.

We hadn’t seen the kids or grandkids for nine months, since we were lucky enough to gather for an anniversary holiday in the Dominican Republic last February.

Before we left for the D.R., we were worried about the mysterious and random deaths of Randi tourists on the kReiss island over the year before. We didn’t realize that the far more deadly Covid-19 was already lying in wait there, and gaining ground in the U.S. We went, and everyone came home healthy, but toward the end of our stay we started hearing news about this novel coronavirus thing.

Having survived the D.R., we fully expected to go back to our lives and begin planning the next time we could see our children and grandchildren. We were on that imaginary road we all have in our

heads that rolls along into the future until we hit a wall.

Suddenly all of us got knocked sideways

by Covid-19, and we began making adjustments and accepting life compromises we never could have imagined. Over the summer, we didn’t visit our kids out West as we always do. We didn’t visit the Florida kids, either, because Florida seems to be ground zero for foolishness when it comes to the virus.

We felt increasingly shocked and depressed by the stories of people toiling at risky jobs because they couldn’t afford to stay home, at the same time caring for sick relatives and watching loved ones die. If you have a heart and a conscience, they keep hammering you to do something when there really was nothing to do except try to stay healthy and safe.

We stayed in touch with the family as the kids’ schools closed down, and they appeared increasingly detached and sleepy and bored when we connected on Zoom or Facetime. We leaned in and asked questions and they answered, and their slightly distant politeness seemed to exacerbate the pain of separation and real communica-

tion.

A few weeks ago, my daughter in California said she wanted to visit and bring the kids. She really wanted to visit; I think she was worried that we might not be around forever. I suppose we’re all feeling our mortality. And she was worried that Covid was getting worse and flying might become impossible.

As I wrote last week, we all decided that Thanksgiving was out of the question because of all the people who would be traveling over the holiday despite the warnings.

We wanted to maximize safety.

My daughter flew three weeks ago. Two flights to get here: empty planes. Everyone in the airports and on board was masked.

When they got here, they stayed in a rental rather than with us, and we lent them a car so we wouldn’t drive anyplace together.

They ate meals in their own place, although that’s usually our best family activity.

It didn’t feel good at all to pay for a rental when I have plenty of room for them. It felt worse to wear masks when we were together, to keep six feet of social distance, and not hug. After a nine-month separation, we didn’t hug the people we love most in the

world.

The Florida kids came for 24 hours and stayed at a nearby hotel, just so the cousins could see one another before another year goes by.

We were together outside whenever possible, and when the weather was uncooperative we sat inside, apart, near open doors and windows. The kids spent a big part of each day going to school online at their rental space.

We invented the interlocking-elbow hug and the expressive-eyes love beam, and we went to parks when we could and walked around, taking in the fresh air and one another. I never noticed on Facetime how much they have grown this year, and how they carry themselves differently, and how one has become a bit more diffident as another displays a new boldness in the world.

We did it as best we could. I would say we never forgot the danger lurking among us. Our regimen was disciplined but not perfect. They flew back home a few days ago, having obtained proof of life and proof of love all around. It was a visit unlike any others: We all knew we were seizing a moment with no promise of when we could meet again.
