PBA calls for vote of ‘no confidence’ in new top cop By JAmEs BERNstEIN jbernstein@liherald.com

In a stunning announcement at a City Council meeting Tuesday night, the president of the Long Beach Police Benevolent Association said he would ask his members on Thursday to take a vote of “no confidence” in the city’s new police commissioner, Ron Walsh. PBA President Brian Wells denounced Walsh’s new geographic policing plan, saying, “It is a complete redeployment of the most basic police services the public receives, and it was not even hinted at in the official police reform plan.”

Walsh, a high-ranking veteran of the Nassau County Police Department who became Long Beach’s police commissioner in February, has said that major changes would be in store for the 66-member department. Among them was a pilot program that calls for assigning officers to posts on a longer-term basis and seeing to it that they become more involved in the neighborhoods they patrol. It is unclear whether the Long Beach PBA has ever considered a vote of no confidence in a police commissioner. The city and the PBA are in the midst of prolonged negotiations for a new contract.

take very seriously a vote of no confidence.

DoNNA GAyDEN City manager

Wells said a week ago that Walsh’s plan was an “insult” to the department, because it assumed that officers were not engaging with the community. Relations between Walsh and the PBA have been contentious from the beginning. Walsh has been seen by the police as an outsider. At the virtual council meeting, Wells said that the imple-

mentation of Walsh’s plan would leave large areas of the city under-policed, and one neighborhood, North Park, over-policed. In his statement to the council, Wells added, “The PBA is not opposed to any area of the city receiving an increase in services, but it should not be at the expense of other areas, and should be in addition to basic

patrol coverage. “Commissioner Walsh’s geographic policing program, coupled with the flurry of recent directives and orders my members have received to enforce minor violations with ‘zero tolerance’ and ‘intensive enforcement activity,’” Wells continued, “has no support that I have heard Continued on page 8

$63,750 in interest, must be re-paid in the fiscal 20121’’22 budget. That, Gayden said which will be partially met with an anticipated $3.67 million in Federal stimulus funding.

Long Beach City Manager Donna Gayden Tuesday night released her proposed budget for the 2021- ‘22 fiscal year, calling for a tax increase of 6.33 percent, higher than the current 1.8 percent hike approved last year. The proposed rate for the new fiscal year translates to $266.81 per household, compared to $142.94 in the current year. There will be two public hearings on Gayden’s proposed budget – on May 4 and May 11. The city council will then consider the budget, which must be adopted by the end of May. The city has been struggling in recent years, the result, according to council members, of financial mismanagement by previous administrations, including large payouts to retiring employees. The city’s bond rating has dropped to just above junk status, and it has hired two prestigious firms – a law firm and a financial firm, - to help it return to fiscal stability. In a memo in her proposed budget, Gayden attributed the tax increase to several factors, including to cover a fall-off in beach revenues as a result of the covid pandemic, and an increase in pension expense. Gayden said, the city’s fight against the covid 19 pandemic forced it in May to borrow $4.2 million. The principal, plus

cost of $75.00. Non-resident adults between the ages 23 and 61 may purchase a season pass at a cost $150.00. In her message, Gayden said that the city’s “prior and current acknowledgement of historical financial dysfunction– along with an overwhelming amount of disparate long-term financial liabilities– continues to strain the City’s ability to deliver balanced budgets without tax increases, impact to services, and/or further deepening of our financial burden.” But, he said, there are some bright spots: the level of the pandemic diminished” through vaccines; federal stimulus and recovery funding will help close a projected budget gap in the annual budget within the 2021-22 budget, but, she said, “it should be noted that this is understood as a one-time infusion of cash;” the city has hired two restructuring firms – M3 Partners, to navigate through a restructuring of nearly $500 million in long-term liabilities which would, if successful, help reduce the onerous impact of debt on the City’s future annual budgets, Gayden said. And,in early April the City Council settled the $100 million iStar lawsuit with no out-of-pocket expense and a new developer agreement for the property that will eventually provide more tax revenue to the City. Gayden said the proposed budget is balanced, but it still must rely for its general funding for termination salaries, which are projected at $3 million.

Bike auction attracts large turnout

LONG BEACH HERALD — April 22, 2021

By James Bernstein jbernstein@liherald.com

Jacob Otto raised his hand and bid $15 for a 1989 Euro Cruiser as Long Beach’s annual bike auction opened at 8 am sharp on Saturday at Kennedy Plaza outside City Hall. “We got $15,” called out auctioneer John Bendo, who is also the president of the Long Beach City Council. “$15 going once, going twice, going three times. Okay $15 is the winner.” A triumphant Otto wheeled off his bike. “This bike is going to be worth $200 when I fix it up,” he said. His first task, he said, will be to get the rust off the bike. About 125 people turned out on a balmy Saturday morning for the bike auction, which Bendo said usually attracts 30 to 50 people. The auction was not held last year because of the covid 19 pandemic. But this year, bikes were lined up outside city hall, maybe not shiny, but seemingly eager for new riders. “We didn’t expect so many people here,” said Long Beach’s new police commissioner, Ron Walsh. The police department organizes the auction, after collecting the bikes, which police officers find discarded on the streets. There were about 119 bikes to be auctioned off. Money collected from the auction goes in the city’s general fund, said John McNally, executive assistant to the Long Beach City manager. The event attracted young and old, who examined the bikes carefully, squeezed the tires, tested the seats and the chains. Bernard Langlieb of North Woodmere, a retired English teacher at a school in the South Bronx, described himself as someone who ”hustles bikes,” by which he meant he buys at auctions or yard sales, fixes them, up, and sells them, all for the fun of it. ‘After examining the bikes, Langlieb said he was “not optimistic” about striking a good deal. Too many, he said, were rusty, and he expected bidding on them to be “too high.”

Darwin Yanes/Herald

Long Beach residents lined up to inspect and buy bikes at the city’s auction. That’s because, he said, people have been indoors for too long, and are anxious to get on a bike and get out, at any price. Crystal Brenke of Lido , brought her 10-year-old daughter, Hudson, to buy the girl a new bike. Hudson said her current bike was “beat up” and she needed something new. She said he would be riding her new bike “every day, in the park.” Many were like Jennifer Caggiano, of Island Park, who was looking forward to a more covid-free summer, one that would include plenty of biking. “I need the exercise,” Caggiano said. “I’d like to take the bike on the boardwalk.”

many Bikes were made available at last Saturday’s auction. Long Beach PoLice Commissioner Ronald Walsh recognized bids on a bike up for auction.

April 22, 2021 — LONG BEACH HERALD

Former L.B. man charged with murder continued from front page searching for a .380 caliber pistol that DeWitt Wilson allegedly used. He will appear in court Friday and faces 25 years to life in prison, if convicted. Around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, police said, DeWitt Wilson shot and killed 49-year-old employee Ray Wishropp, of Valley Stream, and wounded two others, sending surrounding school districts and homes throughout the area into lockdown. DeWitt Wilson had previously lived in Long Beach, in a Market Street apartment, before moving six years ago to Covert Street in Hempstead. Wilson has a known alias, Jibreel, and he was arrested for assault in Baltimore County, Maryland. in 2006, according to the NCPD’s Asset Forfeiture and Intelligence squad. Wishropp had children at South High School in Valley Stream. The school principal, Maureen Henry, sent this message to students and parents Tuesday evening: “It is with a very heavy heart that I share with you that the victim was the father of two of South’s students. I ask that you keep this family in your thoughts and prayers. I will let you know what you can do to support the family in this terrible time.” State Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages wrote on Facebook, “I am disheartened to find out that one of the victims of today’s active shooting is a resident of our district. We have lost a valuable member of our community. I join their family and friends in mourning this beloved community member.” John Durso, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union Local 338, which represents the Stop & Shop workers, said in a statement, “We are devastated by the tragic shooting at the Stop & Shop in West Hempstead. Our thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and all those, including workers and customers, who witnessed today’s horrifying events. Our priority is and always will be the physical and mental well-being of our members.” Union representatives were on site to ensure workers received care, including counseling, he said. The Stop & Shop is to remain closed through Saturday, according to its website.

DeWitt Wilson, Wearing a white medical jumpsuit, was arraigned Wednesday morning. Nassau police had urged local residents to remain indoors Tuesday, as the shooter was armed and considered dangerous. Among the school districts on lockdown were West Hempstead, Franklin Square, Sewanhaka and Valley Stream North, as well as Sacred Heart Academy in nearby Hempstead. Michael Corleone, owner of Kayo Boxing, one of the neighboring businesses, said he immediately heard the shooting. “I wasn’t sure if it was fireworks or a car backfiring, but the next thing you know, I heard ambulances and police cars rolling up,” Corleone said. “I only had a few people in my gym, but I wasn’t frightened. We’re all surprised because this is a good neighborhood.” Prince Mapp, of Uniondale, arrived at the scene shortly after the incident, using the smartphone app Citizen, which allows users to read updates about ongoing reports and broadcast live video. An engineer who is also the head of community and culture at Citizen, Mapp recorded a livestream of the area shortly after the shooting.

“It’s easier to get a gun than it is to get a job,” Mapp told the Herald. “We’ve got to do better in restricting these gun laws.” Mapp had just returned from Minneapolis, where he had joined in the protests of the Daunte Wright killing and the George Floyd trial on Monday. “I just left a war zone, and to come home to see this today on Long Island is devastating,” Mapp said. “We don’t expect [things] like this to happen right in our backyard. I’m hoping that someone of stature that’s on the far right would be willing to sit down at the table with those on the left and come to a compromise with restricting people from getting guns so easily.” Nassau Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said DeWitt Wilson was apprehended quickly after police officers arrived at Terrace Avenue in Hempstead. “The NYPD has been very helpful with us in

gathering information,” Ryder said. “We will also be speaking with the FBI and the U.S. attorney general.” At a news conference on Tuesday, County Executive Laura Curran said, “Over the past several months, we in Nassau County have been watching on our television screen active shooters devastating our communities. Today that reality came home in Nassau County. Our hearts go out to all the families affected by this.” The supermarket was full of a couple of hundred shoppers at the time of the shooting, Ryder said.

from within the department, contrary to his statements at the last meeting.” Wells said that Walsh “would have you believe that community policing is a new idea here in Long Beach. The fact is, we are a part of this community. Many of my members were raised in Long Beach and still reside here with their families. Some have moved from other towns and chosen to make this city their home. “Many were educated in the Long Beach schools and now send their child re n t o t h o s e s a m e s ch o o l s. Some of our spouses teach in Brian WeLLs those schools.” PBA president Wells said he agreed with Walsh on one idea, that Long Beach police seek leadership in the 21st century. “But not from him,” Wells said, adding that PBA members “have quickly come to learn his idea of leadership. He has attempted to instill a culture of fear in our department by berating, yelling, cornering, micromanaging, and making other attempts to intimidate my members as if we are a bunch of first-week recruits in a police academy.” “We frequent local businesses, and our friends and families own, or are employed, by some of them.

PBa PresidenT Brian Wells has taken issue with Walsh’s new policies. “Walsh’s demands for zero tolerance and increased enforcement will hurt our friends and neighbors who are still trying to cope with the physical, psychological, and economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic,” Wells’s statement concluded. In a brief phone call Tuesday night, Walsh said he would respond to Wells’s comments. City Manager Donna Gayden said she would sit down with Wells and discuss the issues he raised. “I take very seriously a vote of no confidence,” Gayden said. Walsh, Wells said, “has lost the trust of my members.” As a result, he said, he was calling a special meeting of the PBA on Thursday, after the Herald went to press, to request a vote of no confidence in Walsh’s ability to lead the department. In a phone interview Tuesday night, Wells said he expected PBA members to support his position.

Schools urged to consider no tax hikes

By Darwin Yanes dyanes@liherald.com

Following the Long Beach School District’s adoption of a budget with a zero percent tax levy, local officials on Thursday urged other school districts to follow suit. At a news conference at Long Beach High School, State Senator Todd Kaminsky, a Long Beach Democrat, was joined by county, state and Long Beach school officials, in asking other districts to reconsider their budget after the state senate secured $417 million in state aid for Long Island schools. The Long Beach district received more than $1.7 million in state and was able to eliminate a previously considered tax levy. “As a taxpayer here in Long Beach, but also as a parent of a kindergarten student at Lindell Elementary School, I’m grateful to Dr. [Jennifer] Gallagher, her staff and the entire school board for this responsible decision,” Kaminsky said. “And to the other school districts on Long Island, today we’re here for a simple message -please reconsider what you’re doing. Follow Long Beach as an example and to the extent you can, reconsider your property tax increases.” The district has also received an extra $600,000 in foundation aid, Michael DeVito, the district’s assistant superintendent

of finance and operations, said at an April 13 board meeting. School officials said they are eliminating the pandemic adjustment line that reduced the district’s state aid in the amount of about $458,871 in the current year. The district’s federal CARES Act allocation is $458,871 and fully offsets the loss of state aid, Devito said at the meeting. Long Beach was also able to add a new medical assisting program, which will take over the space the NIKE program occupied and other new electives such as public speaking and journalism to the high school. Kaminsky noted that the aid includes $270 million in foundation aid, with 60 percent to be funded this year, 80 percent next year and 100 percent the following year. “As taxpayers, we all realize that Long Island needs to be more affordable and tax relief is a must,” Kaminsky said. “The math can be simple. The more state aid we secure for our schools, from Albany, the less the taxpayer should be called upon to shoulder the burden.” Gallagher and board trustees Sam Pinto and Tina Posteli praised collaborative efforts between the board and the district, which led to a budget that was lower than the current spending plan and with no tax levy. “As a board of ed trustee, we also have the responsibility not only to the district

state sen. toDD Kaminsky helped secure millions of dollars in state aid for schools. and to the children, but also to the taxpayers,” Pinto. “We’re elected by the taxpayers as the stewards to be fiscally responsible and to make sure that we can all continue to live here and to be affordable. State Senator Kevin Thomas, a Democrat from Levittown, attended the news conference to encourage schools in his district to follow Long Beach’s fiscal steps.

Country star Eric Church coming to UBS Arena By Melissa Koenig mkoenig@liherald.com

Country music star Eric Church will be the first performer at the new UBS Arena at Belmont Park, with a concert on Dec. 4 as part of his “The Gather Again Tour.” The reigning Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year and current American Country Music Entertainer of the Year nominee has become a leader in the music industry’s return to touring, and plans to adopt an in-the-round setup at his concerts, with the stage in the center of the arena floor in order to accommodate as many fans as possible. He has also become an outspoken advocate for the Covid19 vaccine, and plans to appear in an upcoming public service announcement promoting vaccine education, produced by ACM Lifting Lives, the Ad Council and Covid Collaborative. The ad was to air during the ACM Music Awards show on April 18, when Church was to debut a song off his “Heart & Soul” triple album project. The trio of albums will be released in the coming weeks, with “Heart” available everywhere on April 16, “Soul” available everywhere April 23, and the middle album, “&” available exclusively to the Church Choir

on April 20. Tickets to his concert at the UBS Arena will go on sale to the general public on May 7 at 10 a.m. at www.EricChurch.com. Church Choir members may access tickets early via pre-sale on May 4 at 10 a.m. A team of health professionals and engineers has spent the last year reviewing more than 250 strategies to keep patrons safe at the new US Arena when it opens in the fall, and officials are now ready to demonstrate some of the protocols they will have in place at the arena by welcoming sponsors, clients and sales prospects back to their Preview Club in Manhattan, while also working to attain GBAC STAR Facility Accreditation for the arena from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council. The building is already codecompliant, according to Ed Bosco, managing principal for New York-based ME Engineers, and will feature a new ventilation system and operations designed to limit physical interactions. Parking payments an be made over the phone at the new arena, which will also have contactless grab-and-go food and mobile ordering.

Country MusiC star Eric Church will perform at the UBS Arena on Dec. 4.

U.S. representatives form SALT Caucus Two Long Island congressmen — Tom Suozzi, a Democrat from the North Shore, and Andrew Gabarino, a recently elected Republican from the tom suozzi South Shore — are two of four co-chairs of the newly formed SALT Caucus, a bipartisan coalition of representatives seeking to restore the federal income tax deduction for state and local taxes. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, passed under then President Trump, limited the deduction to $10,000, whereas it was previously unlimited, costing many taxpayers in hightax states like New York and California thousands of dollars each. “The SALT cap penalizes working-class Long Islanders,” Garbarino said. “From firefighters to police

officers, to teachers, to nurses, and small business owners, I hear from people every day about what a crushing blow the SALT cap andrew garbarino has delivered them.” “Our ef fort to restore the SALT deduction is gaining momentum,” Suozzi said. “Together, Democrats and Republicans alike, we will advocate for the restoration of the SALT deduction and highlight the middle-class families who have been unfairly hurt by the cap.” In addition to Suozzi and Garbarino, the SALT caucus leadership comprises Co-chair Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat from New Jersey, and Co-chair Young Kim, a Republican from California.

Senators secure $1.5M for Holocaust survivor services A record $1.5 million in state funds has been set aside for the Holocaust Survivors Inititative, announced State Sens. Todd K a m i n s k y, Diane Savino and Anna todd Kaminsky K a p l a n , wh o helped secure the funding. Funds from the Holocaust Survivors Initiative are used to support case management for mental health services, trauma-informed care, crisis prevention, legal services, entitlement counseling, emergency financial assistance, socialization programs, and training for caregivers and home health aides working with survivors, as well as endof-life care. “It is imperative that we look after our community’s Holocaust survivors and ensure that they can live out their lives with dignity,” Kaminsky said.

“After all they h ave e x p e r i enced — and following a year of isolation during the pandemic — that is the least we can do for them.” Kaplan said, “We can never anna Kaplan forget the atrocities of the Holocaust, and we can never forget the Holocaust survivors who endured unthinkable tragedy in their younger years.” Cathy Byrne, a registered nurse and gerontologist who is associate executive director of the Mario and Aaron Gural JCC in Cedarhurst, said, “Thank you for securing these critical funds and never forgetting this precious population that bore witness to the most horrific atrocities against mankind and humanity. As Elie Wiesel shared, ‘For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.’”

esides the obvious physical benefits, youth sports provide social interaction that also provides a degree of mental health. Since most sports require getting up close and personal with other athletes, the Covid-19 pandemic has created some challenges. "Initially, there was a fear of transmission of Covid-19 among athletes, especially with the contact sports. That is why a lot of these sports were canceled or postponed. But fortunately, we have not seen a rapid spread amongst contact sports," says Dr. Jennifer Maynard, a sports and family physician at Mayo Clinic. According to Dr. Maynard, as the pandemic has gone on, statistics indicate that sports are not the issue. Rather, data indicate the spread of Covid-19 among athletes occurs not during sports participation, but from social contact, she says. And the rate of infection is proportional to the community rate. "It's the environment of the athletes, both on and off the court or the field that makes the biggest difference, not the actual sport. Most local outbreaks are due to contact in the locker room or on the sidelines or from other social engagements outside of the sport itself," she explains. Recently, the National Federation of State High School Associations released a statement, revising its earlier “statement on risk of Covid-19 during high school sports." The biggest change is that the federation eliminated its tiered system that ranked the risk of infection by sport, says Dr. Maynard. The group instead shared findings that showed athletes playing contact sports and indoor sports are at a higher risk of illness when compared to noncontact sports or outdoor sports. But certain factors can mitigate risk. "For instance, indoor sports can be similar risk to outdoor if you use a mask, for example, with basketball or volleyball,' says Dr. Maynard. "The general consensus is that there are many more positives than drawbacks in getting athletes back engaged. For one, there's plenty of data that show those who do athletics do better in their school life and their

home life. They succeed in future jobs and leadership roles. We absolutely want to get our athletes back to play as fast as possible but as safe as possible for the benefits of both their physical and mental health." Her top tips to parents, coaches, athletic trainers — and students themselves: √ Stay on guard and continue with social distancing. √ Universally wear a mask, especially in social situations where you cannot physically distance. √ Practice proper hand hygiene and stay home when you're sick. "Lead by example to make sure we are able to continue to lower the rates of Covid19," says Dr. Maynard. n Courtesy Mayo Clinic News Network Above photo: Young athletes have eagerly welcomed a safe return to play.

Camps should have age-appropriate ways to help children practice hand hygiene, stay a safe distance from others, and wear face masks whenever possible and practical. This can be a challenge, especially for younger campers, so they will need a lot of reminders.

Are there extra safety steps taken for sports camps? In addition to the general safety steps for overnight and day camps, sports camps should follow safety guidance for drills, practices and competitions. This includes local and state rules, If you’re sending your child out of state, which can vary widely.

ummer camps can be a chance for children and teens to make friends, learn new skills, and spend time outdoors. Kids have missed out on a lot of these opportunities during the pandemic. You may be looking for a camp where your child can relax and reconnect, but worried since Covid-19 continues to be a concern. More than a year into the pandemic, studies show that camps with proper safety steps in place can greatly limit the spread of Covid-19 infections. Key steps include mask wearing, physical distancing, having smaller groups, and cleaning and disinfecting as part of the daily routine. If you're considering camp for your child this summer, whether it's a just during the day or an overnight program, start by addressing these questions.

Will most activities be indoors or outside? Having activities outdoors, with more fresh air and room to spread out, can lower the risk of spreading Covid-19. Being outside also gives children a way to connect with nature, which can boost their health and mental health after a long, stressful year. However, even outside, it is important to avoid sharing germs. Camps should limit shared equipment for games and activities and clean them often.

Is camp staff trained on the specific health needs of children? Children attending camp may be afraid of being away from home and gathering face-

to-face with others after a lengthy time at home. The camp’s health providers should have specialized training in children's health and emotional well-being. Counselors should also have training available to help children cope with stress they may be experiencing. What kind of support is available for campers with special health care needs? Camp directors should aim to meet the needs of all children. Some children with special health care needs or disabilities may need special accommodations so they can enjoy camp while being protected against Covid-19. If your child has special health care needs, talk with camp directors and your pediatrician to identify what specific accommodations your child may need. Existing plans, such as Individualized Family Service Plans and Individual Education Plans, can be helpful. How will campers move throughout the day at camp? According to the CDC, small groups of campers with dedicated staff, when possible, will help minimize Covid-19 risk. Staggered arrival and drop-off times may also help limit contact between groups. How will snacks and meals work? It may be safest for campers bring their own meals, if possible, and eat in separate areas or with their smaller group. This would be less risky than dining halls or cafeterias. Ideally, children should bring their own water bottles rather than drinking from water fountains. What extra steps are being taken at overnight camps? When looking at overnight camps, ask if children will bunk with their daytime groups and how sleeping areas will be arranged. Lining up mats or beds so that campers and staff sleep head-to-toe at least six feet apart can help limit risk, Should my child be tested for Covid-19 before or during camp? A diagnostic Covid-19 test can be useful when a camper or a staff member had a known exposure, or is showing coronavirus symptoms. In these cases, test results can help guide decisions such as who can return to camp safely, when to notify families whose children may have been exposed, or whether the camp should be closed. However, antibody blood tests should not be used in decisions about going to camp. These tests only show if someone had the virus at one point in time. They can't identify someone who still has an active infection without symptoms, for example. n Above photo: A time-honored tradition, camps are eager to welcome campers once again this summer.

Summer is on the horizon Camps are ready to rebound

ummer is just around the corner and after many months of limited activities during a long winter in a pandemic, many parents and children are looking forward to being outside and enjoying summer camp activities. There are important physical and mental health benefits to summer camp. After resisting in 2020, many parents see an antidote to a school year when their children have been glued to a computer screen. According to some camp operators, their summer programs are filling faster this year than in years before Covid. Tuitions from last summer have been rolled over for many families, giving most programs a head start in enrollment. With some camps limiting their enrollment for this summer and teen programs not offering the same number of trips as in normal times, now is the time to start making decisions if you’re preparing to place your kids in a summer program this season. Summer camps offer children opportunities for peer interaction, increased independence, leadership roles, exercise and the challenge of trying new things. These experiences are even more significant given the social limitations that the Covid-19 pandemic has placed on children. It will be important for parents to find summer camps that help children reestablish these important social connections while maintaining the important Covid-19 risk mitigation strategies to keep children healthy while at camp. Day Camps All camps will be following the CDC’s guidelines to maintain healthy environments for campers. How will your camp implement these guidelines? Creating a healthy camp environment: Camps should be clear that any camper or counselor experiencing Covid-

ture? Will the camp notify other families if a child tests positive for Covid and what will the policy be?

19 symptoms must remain at home and obtain a Covid test before returning to camp. What are your camps protocols on daily screenings and quarantine requirements for exposed campers and/or staff? Face masks and physical distancing: All campers and counselors should wear face masks. Physical distancing is particularly important during times of high intensity activity. How will the camp accommodate increased spacing of campers and counselors? What will be the maximum number of campers per group? Will the same staff be assigned to the same group everyday? Limit carpooling: Unvaccinated campers should ride to camp with people in their own household. Hygiene and cleaning: Campers and staff should wash hands frequently. Surfaces and shared objects should be wiped down often. Vaccination and infection policy: How will camps monitor campers and staff daily for Covid-19 symptoms while at camp? If a child develops symptoms, how will the camp manage sick children and facilitate their safe depar-

Sleepaway Camps Most sleepaway camps plan to create a “bubble” this summer for children. In order to do this, children and families will need to limit high risk activities and avoid large gatherings during the week before camp starts. Most camps will require a Covid test before the camper arrives and many will perform testing on campus once the camper arrives. Some issues to think about including the following. Camp arrival and risk mitigation: How will camps structure the first week of camp? Will the camp perform Covid screening tests on all campers once they arrive? Will the camp test throughout the duration of the session? Have most of the staff/counselors received the vaccine? Also determine if children will wear masks during the first few days of camp and find out if the children be in cohorts for the first week or for the entire camp session. Activities: Understand how activities will be structured and how the will camp utilize and maximize outdoor spaces, including mealtime procedures. Parent visiting days: Unfortunately, most camps will not be able to have camp visiting days as the arrival of many people outside the camp bubble carries the risk of bringing Covid into the camp environment. If your child’s camp is hosting a visiting day, it is important to ask the camp how they plan to mitigate the risk of Covid exposure. Infection policy: Understand the camp’s plan for a child that has developed Covid-like symptoms. Have they created a place to isolate sick children? If a camper does test positive for COVID, how will the camp manage quarantining bunkmates and other staff or campers exposed to the sick camper? n

or many of us, the memories of summer camp stick with us forever. They're triggered and brought to mind by the smell of a campfire, the sight of a canoe in the water or simply a cheeky song that we remember belting out with our summer friends. 2020 put a hold on the making of those memories, but as things come back to the table of opportunity, many summer programs are working diligently to create a safe space for our kids to begin to get back to the business of making memories. Whether you’re ready to register, or prefer to create your own summer memories with your children, find an option that makes you comfortable. As the end of a pandemic school year approaches, the idea of summer break may cause some stress for parents, not quite sure of what to expect or how to prepare for a happy, safe summer. While your child may be thrilled by the end of the school year, anticipating lazy days and sleeping in, the prospect of summer break isn’t quite that unalloyed pleasure for parents. And if you have a child with emotional or developmental issues who is challenging in the best of times, nothing calls on whatever extra powers you might possess more than the long break that lies ahead.

Make it visual Kids who thrive on predictability and are prone to panic over transitions —including those on the autism spectrum — benefit

from posted schedules that outline what will happen throughout the day. Make plans Try to schedule as many activities as possible that work for your family, as early as possible, and keep your kids posted. This can mean anything from “we’re going to Aunt Mary’s on Thursday for a barbecue” to having a set routine that every day, weather permitting, you’ll be going to the playground or pool. Even one such activity can give kids a center of gravity, so to speak, around which the rest of the day can be structured. Get outdoors Home has become a safe cocoon during the pandemic, but no child should spend hours in front of a screen. If camp or a local summer program isn’t in the cards, try to find something your child enjoys — riding a bike or scooter, or splashing at the pool, water park, or beach — and do it. Plus, physical activity is good for everyone’s mind, body and spirit, especially those kids with energy to burn. Maintain a behavioral system Children and teens, especially, may act like they want to be in charge, but the truth is they feel safer knowing exactly what you expect of them and the rewards that result from good behavior. This is never truer than during the seemingly boundless — and boundary-free — summer break. n

State Soldier’s and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts. However, such tax liens shall have priority over the County’s Differential Interest Lien, representing the excess, if any, of the interest and penalty borne at the maximum rate over the interest and penalty borne at the rate at which the lien is purchased. The Purchaser acknowledges that the tax lien(s) sold pursuant to these Terms of Sale may be subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/or may become subject to such proceedings which may be commenced during the period in which a lien is held by a successful bidder or the assignee of same, which may modify a Purchaser’s rights with respect to the lien(s) the property securing same. Such bankruptcy proceedings shall not affect the validity of the tax lien. In addition to being subject to pending bankruptcy proceedings and/ or the Federal and State Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Acts, said purchaser’s right of foreclosure may be affected by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act (FIRREA), 12 U.S.C. ss 1811 et. seq., with regard to real property under Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) receivership. The County Treasurer reserves the right, without further notice and at any time, to withdraw from sale any of the parcels of land or premises herein listed. The rate of interest and penalty which any person purchases the tax lien shall be established by his bid. Each purchaser, immediately after the sale thereof, shall pay to the County Treasurer ten percent of the amount from which the tax liens have been sold and the remaining ninety percent within thirty days after such sale. If the purchaser at the tax sale shall fail to pay the remaining ninety percent within ten days after he has been notified by the County Treasurer that the certificates of sale are ready for delivery, then all deposited with the County Treasurer including but not limited to the ten percent theretofore paid by him shall, without further notice or demand, be irrevocably forfeited by the purchaser and shall be retained by the County Treasurer as liquidated damages and the agreement to purchase be of no further effect. Time is of the essence in this sale. This sale is held pursuant to the Nassau County Administrative Code and interested parties are referred to such Code for additional information as to terms of sale, rights of purchasers, maximum rates of interest and other legal incidents of the sale. Furthermore, as to the bidding, •The bidder(s) agree that they will not work with any other bidder(s) to increase, maintain or stabilize interest rates or collaborate with any other bidder(s) to gain an unfair competitive advantage in the random number generator in the event of a tie bid(s) on a tax certificate. Bidder(s) further agree not to employ any bidding strategy designed to create an unfair competitive advantage in the tiebreaking process in the upcoming tax sale nor work with any other bidder(s) to engage in any bidding strategy that will result in a rotational award of tax certificates. •The tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) bid, will be arrived at independently and without direct or indirect consultation, communication or agreement with any other bidder and that the tax certificate(s) the Bidder will bid upon, and the interest rate(s) to be bid, have not been disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder, and will not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other bidder prior to the close of bidding. No attempt has been made or will be made to, directly or indirectly, induce any other bidder to refrain from bidding on any tax certificate, to submit complementary bids, or to submit bids at specific interest rates. •The bids to be placed by the Bidder will be made in good faith and not pursuant to any direct or indirect, agreement or discussion with, or inducement from, any other bidder to submit a complementary or other noncompetitive bid. •If it is determined that the bidder(s) have violated any of these bid requirements then their bid shall be voided and if they were the successful bidder the lien and any deposits made, in connection with, said bid shall be forfeited.

The CiTY of Long Beach has launched a site to give residents a better look into the city’s financial situation.

The City of Long Beach has launched an online dashboard that aims to give credit agencies and residents an in-depth look into the City’s finances. In a statement on the website, City Manager Donna Gayden, who was hired over a year ago to help the city’s financial situation, said the DebtDash was built to give residents a better look into the city’s financial status. The website includes financial information such as budgets, audits, financial ratings from independent agencies, policies, status reports and other things. “More than one year ago (February 28) I was hired to lead the City on a path to fiscal stability,” Gayden’s statement said. “Over many years, Long Beach consistently spent more than its total annual

revenue, using rainy day funds and borrowing to make up for the shortfalls. These operational deficits have severely impacted the City’s independent financial rating, which now is ‘negative,’ and this further drives up our borrowing costs. Furthermore, our long-term debt total is staggering, which has exacerbated budget difficulties and made it extremely difficult to find our way out of these deep waters.” The site also includes information on the city’s debt, demographics and full valuation of the city’s property. City officials also included key dates for the upcoming budget. For more information, visit www.debtdash.org/long-beach.

Unique Architectural Gem

his spectacular waterfront estate sitting on 1.76 acres was designed by the internationally acclaimed architect Robert A.M. Stern. Living in this home is unlike anything you have ever experienced. The way he designed the light to fill every space, and the views of the water at every turn, it's an art form. The great hall with its curved windows and towering fireplace is sight to be seen. The master bedroom with limitless views of the water, enormous walk in closet and spa like bath is what you'd expect from a home of this caliber. Admiring the home you can tell from the den to the formal dining room and the library that every room was designed to host and entertain countless friends and all your family. If your guests decide to extend their stay the detached guest house with the pool cabana, sauna, and steam room has plenty of space for an overnight stay. This is a waterfront compound unlike any other.

A. Your inspector is onte eeper looking out for you. He didn’t accept the work because the interior walls that were removed had an important role to play in holding your house together. Now that there are no walls running at right angles to the outside wall, the strength of the exterior walls has been reduced, enough so they can waiver in a high wind and compromise the home. In other words, the long, unbraced wall can collapse in a heavy storm. From flying in a plane, you may have heard of wind shear. It’s caused by pulsing crosswinds that work like a giant hammer, pounding directly at the wall’s surface, like pounding a big drum face, and is referred to as positive pressure. The wall is also brushed by winds that run parallel to its surface, which causes a suction known as negative pressure. Together, the pulsing is tugging at the wall and pushing it, causing opposite reactions that, if the wall isn’t properly braced, can make it come apart and wrench away from the rest of the building. By cutting the continuous top and bottom wall “plates” that run around the whole structure, the wall is no longer attached at these points. That’s one reason why windows and doors receive extra support around the openings. The “weakest links” are the places where the connection has been severed or removed altogether, as when steel beams and columns are inserted into the wall and the wood has been cut away. Some argue that the steel beam and column actually brace the structure, but only if they are attached to the surrounding dissimilar wood. In most cases, when an inspection is done, the lack of understanding of the wind shear process is revealed, and hopefully it is discovered before a disaster and not after. This can be repaired by making the wood walls connect again, using steel sheets, steel strapping or plywood that bridges the wall studs on either side of the steel column and beam. The plywood will stick out if the wall is only as thin as the column, but with large wall studs, the plywood can be recessed to be even with the rest of the carpentry.

Q. I recently got a “framing” inspection for carpentry. The inspector asked me to get all electrical wiring and plumbing pipes in before he would look at the way the wood framing was done. Then he rejected the work because of the way the beams and columns went into the walls. We had steel beams put in so we could remove all the inside walls and open the kitchen up to the living and dining Ask The rooms. It’s now one big open space. The carpenters Architect cut the wall tops and bottoms so the beam and column could go in. Is there a way to fix this, and why is it so important? The inspector said the architect would need to write a letter explaining the fix.

y March 4-10 column, “Voting is an act of choice and an expression of voice,” prompted a note from someone who wanted to talk about threats to democracy. He leads a group of citizens who support candidates, without regard to party affiliation, as long as they support the principles of democratic government. He also said the group avoids candidates on the extreme right and left. When I asked for examples of positions taken by the extreme left, he referred to U.S. RoBERT Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and SCoTT three other female members of the House of Representatives. These four popularly elected officials, however, do not advocate revolution or communism and are not anti-capitalism. Indeed, they advocate policies that the majority of Americans support. These include President Biden’s pandemic rescue plan, an infrastructure bill to repair roads and bridges and expand broadband, background checks for gun purchases, renewable energy with tax credits and increased taxes on large corporations that currently pay low or no taxes. They advocate policies

to address income inequality, climate change and international cooperation. They do not deny the protections of the Constitution. If these are far-left policies, then the majority of Americans are far left. My reader then mentioned Sen. Bernie Sanders. While Sanders calls himself a socialist, he does not advocate a government takeover of private business. He calls for protections of workers and fair treatment for those on Main Street, not just for those on Wall Street. Even Jamie Dimon of JPMorgan Chase has cited the need to eliminate tax subsidies for hedge funds, private jets and golf courses. That’s is what socialism looks like: government subsidies for private enterprise. In contrast, the far right attempted to undo a legitimate presidential election. It also is determined to remove government regulations that ensure food and water safety. Alarmingly, members of the far right also advocate severe limitations to voting by claiming, without evidence, that there was widespread voter fraud in the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections. In sum, it appears that those my correspondent called far left support programs that most Americans view as necessary, and those he calls far right want to reduce and limit the rights of Americans. Some cite the protests associated with

Black Lives Matter gatherings as evidence of far-left activity, but those protests were largely peaceful and advocated fair treatment by police. They have not threatened lives the way white supremacist groups have in Washington, D.C., Oregon, Virginia and elsewhere, or planned to abduct an elected official, as they did in Michigan. In fact, while a 2020 review of almost 900 politically motivated acts committed since 1994 found that some were committed by farleft groups, such as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front, the attacks resulted in one death. During the same 25-year span, acts committed by farright groups ended in 329 fatalities. It is true that some on the left have called for “defunding” the police in response to cases of police brutality and the use by police departments of militarystyle weapons, vehicles and tactics. But this has been largely a matter of rhetoric to force an agenda. Calls for defunding the police are a plea for shifting some funds from policing to mental health counseling, conflict-reduction training and community policing. At times, it seems the media and others promote false equivalencies in order to acknowledge both sides of an issue. But that leads to a distortion of truth, in this

hen media and others go out of their way to consider both sides of an issue.

case by claiming that there are equivalent extremists on both sides of the political aisle. We can see this in claims of “cancel culture.” Yes, speeches by some conservative commentators have been canceled because of student protests, and there are threats to free expression on some college campuses where groups try to mandate anti-racism programs. I disagree with many of these actions. Alternative points of view should be debated, presumptions of guilt should give way to evidence, and intolerance of questions has no place at a university. But these incidents pale in comparison to the far-right efforts to pass legislation controlling what can be taught and who can teach at universities, in defiance of a Supreme Court ruling. Our democracy requires truth, transparency and less anger. We need our elected officials to reflect the will of an informed citizenry and to work together for the common good. We need to protect the principles of social justice and equitable treatment. If one side is always saying no to policies that a majority of Americans support, you have to wonder why. There is no path to justice when anger prevails, when some rely on alternative facts, and when no one listens to contrary opinions. Robert A. Scott is president emeritus of Adelphi University and author of “How University Boards Work” (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2018, Eric Hopper Awardee, 2019).

Just another day in America: Eight shot dead

don’t care if you are numb to this outrage. I don’t care if I’m numb to it. From where I sit, the carnage from gun violence in America, the continuing, ongoing, shocking deaths by gun, move to the head of the must-do list for this new administration. We know that list is long, and every one of the top five issues feels like a hemorrhaging wound that needs to be stanched. Covid vaccine rollout? Migrants at the border? Stimulus for the economy? Crumbling bridges? Insurgents RANDI storming the halls KREISS of government? Every problem demands action, but the national epidemic of gun violence speaks to a malignant cultural sickness that we need to treat now. 2020, the year of the pandemic, was the deadliest year for gun fatalities in decades, according to The Washington Post. That fact is especially interesting because the number of mass shootings (four or more people killed) decreased. Apparently, people were home more, so they just shot one

another. We are making up for the dip. Since January, we have suffered 147 mass shootings in America. Some 12,416 people were killed by guns over these four months. These are people shooting family and friends and strangers. These are suicides and armed robberies and kids picking up guns and shooting their brothers and sisters. These are drive-by hits and “accidental” killings. No one wants to take away anyone’s legally owned guns. But we need better laws to keep guns out of the hands of children and criminals and unstable individuals. We need bans on military-style automatic weapons. Last week, President Biden said he would take executive action to fight what he called “an epidemic and an international embarrassment of gun violence.” It is a modest initiative. Golda Meir famously said that when Israel’s enemies loved their children more than they hated Israel, peace would be possible. The same could be said of Congress: When they love our children more than they hate standing up to the National Rifle Association, the slaughter will stop.

As I write, police are investigating a mass shooting at a FedEx outlet in Indiana. Within an hour of the murders, the usual post-massacre teams gathered at the scene: police, media by the truckload and a group that travels from killing spree to killing spree with counselors and money for funerals and warnings about post-murder scams. The fact that we have such a team in America is both an indictment of our society and, obviously, a necessity. We all know the lingo of “lockdown” and “active shooter” and PTSD caused by shootings. Really, it is an abomination that we have become so proficient at handling the tragedies rather than preventing them. Remember Sandy Hook? Dylan’s mom and Daniel’s dad write to me often. In truth, I dread reading their e-mails; their words darken the day. But how wrenching it must be to write the words. These parents are leaders of the Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, the group that advocates stricter gun-control laws. They are victims of the tragedy, both having lost first-graders in the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Their work is pure and hero-

wo parents of children killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School write to me often.

ic — trying to find a slender thread of hope in the heap of terrible grief that has consumed their lives. When 20 little kids were murdered in their classrooms and no serious gun control was enacted, it was more than disheartening. The legal gridlock effectively proved the intractable power of the National Rifle Association. Schools installed locks and alarms, but this isn’t about inventing better security systems in our schools. If alligators were on the loose in schools, we wouldn’t give our kids alligator repellent. We would get rid of the alligators. In an average year in this country, guns kill some 30,000 people. The information comes from the Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit formed in 2013 to offer free online public access information about gun-related violence in the U.S. We need legislators to write and pass laws that will end the slaughter. Do members of Congress love their children? You bet they do. Do they love their jobs so much that they won’t stand up to the NRA? You bet they do. When they love their children, and America’s children, more than they love NRA money, we may finally see support for real gun-control laws. Copyright 2021 Randi Kreiss.

L.I. making strides on the environmental front

pril 22 is Earth Day, when we come together as a nation — and a planet — to celebrate the natural world and renew our vows to protect the environment from harm. In honor of Earth Day five years ago, the Herald developed a three-part wish list of actions that government representatives and private citizens might take to help clean up and preserve Long Island’s environment. This year, we decided to take a look back and see how we’re faring in meeting the goals on this seemingly lofty list. Point One: Cleanup of the Northrop Grumman toxic plume. In 2016, we wrote, “Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the State Department of Environmental Conservation must find a way to force Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the toxic mess they left behind in Bethpage, Wantagh and Seaford. The toxic plume that formed during World War II beneath the old Grumman aerospace plant in Bethpage is steadily moving southward. Chemicals used to manufacture naval warplanes were carelessly allowed to seep into the ground. If the plume isn’t stopped, it will eventually reach South Oyster Bay, contaminating the fragile wetland ecosystem that hugs the entire South Shore and harming, if not destroying, the area’s fishing and clamming industries. The stakes could not be higher.” We are happy to report that Cuomo announced a $406 million remediation plan in December among the state, Northrop Grumman and the Navy to clean up the plume. The only trouble: Doing so could take 100 years, showing us, in no uncertain terms, that it’s far better to prevent damage to the environment through

How it all began In 1970, America led the way in founding the now international Earth Day movement. Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Democrat, came up with the idea after witnessing the environmental devastation caused by an infamous 100,000-barrel oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif., in 1969, according to the nonprofit Earth Day Network. On the first Earth Day — April 22, 1970 — some 20 million Americans took to the streets and parks to protest widespread industrial damage to the environment. government regulation than to allow polluters to have their way. Point Two: An ocean outfall pipe for the Bay Park Water Reclamation Facility, one of two Nassau County sewage treatment plants. In 2016, we wrote, “Our federal, state and local governments must –– must –– find a way to fund an ocean outflow pipe from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, a county facility, three miles out to the Atlantic Ocean. The greatest environmental threat facing the South Shore is nitrogen-laden effluent from the treatment plant. Each day, millions of gallons of this wastewater pour out from a cement pipe in the middle of Reynolds Channel, just north of Long Beach. From there it is dispersed by the tides. “The nitrogen accelerates seaweed growth. The seaweed, which grows to unnatural lengths, easily breaks apart and rots, robbing marine life of dissolved oxygen. There are now whole sections of the

Bendo responds to Heller’s letter

Oyster Bay Herald Guardian Rockaway Journal Rockville Centre Herald South Shore Record Valley Stream Herald Wantagh Herald Citizen Seaford Herald Citizen

To the Editor: Re City Council candidate Kevin Heller’s letter last week, “Holding the City Council accountable,” in which he claimed a lack of transparency by the current administration: While I understand Mr. Heller is in campaign mode, his letter was uninformed. Since he did not participate in City Council meetings before he was a candidate, it’s possible he is unaware of what we have accomplished in the 15 months of our administration. Mr. Heller claims the city suspended the public comment portion of City Council meetings in 2020. Perhaps he doesn’t know that last March, because of the coronavirus pandemic, Governor Cuomo issued an executive order suspending the Open Meetings Law and banning public meetings. The city had to suddenly shift to online council meetings, which, truthfully, it was not set up to do.

Western Bays that are considered ‘dead zones.’” Today, we are happy to report that the county is moving ahead rapidly with plans to construct a $408 million pipe from the Bay Park plant under Sunrise Highway, in an abandoned aqueduct, and then on to the Cedar Creek Water Pollution Control Plant. From there, it will be sent three miles into the Atlantic Ocean. Point Three: Nitrogen reduction. In 2016, we wrote, “Local municipalities, businesses and even homeowners must take responsibility for the unnecessarily high amounts of fertilizers they pour on lawns to keep them emerald green. Golf courses consume vast amounts of fertilizer. So do homes. Any excess fertilizer that doesn’t dissolve into the ground is washed into street drains, and from there into the bays. Fertilizers also accelerate seaweed growth,” damaging the bays. In 2021, we are happy to report that the Long Island Nitrogen Action Plan, a partnership among the DEC, the Long Island Regional Planning Council, and Nassau and Suffolk counties, has made significant progress in assessing the extent of Long Island’s nitrogen pollution and developing plans to reduce it. So much more needs to be done, however. Homeowners can help by spreading only organic fertilizers on their lawns. The organics dissolve slower in the soil and do not wash away as easily as synthetic fertilizers. Clearly, Long Island has made significant strides these past five years, which is cause for celebration. Protecting our environment, however, is a never-ending battle that we must win.

he federal Food and Drug Administration and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on April 13 advised that states temporarily pause administration of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine. There’s no question that the cases of six women who suffered unusual blood clots — one of whom died — need to be monitored and considered closely. This is certainly an alarming setback. But the abundance of caution exhibited does not mean the vaccine is unsafe BrUCe for widespread use. Rather, it FarBer means that we are following a safety measure that was installed in the process to safeguard further patients who may be susceptible to clotting. This is what we want to see during the vaccination process, or for any medical treatment, for that matter. In fact, this news demonstrates that the process is working. Safety has always

been paramount to this massive vaccination effort, perhaps the largest clinical undertaking in centuries. This pause — and let me reiterate that it is only a pause for now — indicates that the U.S. is well organized to evaluate, and ideally prevent, these occurrences. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System is used by agencies to report the side effects of vaccines, an effective and seamless way for federal agencies to alert physicians to symptoms of these seldom-seen blood clots and treat them properly if they encounter them. In terms of J&J’s vaccine, more than 6.8 million people had already received the single-shot dose before the pause, so there was about one-in-amillion chance of this severe clotting to occur. And still, the six cases were enough to persuade clinical advisers to decide to review progress before moving forward. The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting to investigate these cases closely to determine their cause, and whether vaccinations should continue. Their job is to

he inoculations remain the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19.

LeTTers The initial system did not allow live public comments, so we asked people to submit questions or comments in advance via email. We received hundreds of questions, which were answered during the meetings and/or were posted with written answers on the city website. We eventually obtained a web-based meeting app that allowed the public to participate live, which we still use today. But the public has been providing input all along. We kept our promise to make an open and transparent administration. City business that used to be conducted behind closed doors is now done in open working meetings that are livestreamed. When bids come in for city contracts, we livestream opening them, so the public knows who bid. We reinvigorated or stood up 16 citizen-led boards and commissions on which residents help guide the city on multiple topics. We ended the decadesold practice of handshake agreements with vendors, bringing agreements into the daylight and ensuring they meet residents’ needs. But this example sums it up best. We created a Transparency Portal website (www.longbeachny.gov/transparency), allowing residents access to detailed financial information, contracts, legal documents, reports and much more. No administration I know of has made so much information available to the public. I get it: Mr. Heller is trying to find an opening that will help his campaign. But in this case he is either uninformed on how the city operates or is

openly discuss the safety and process moving forward. And in the age of misinformation, their work is critical to presenting the facts. Vaccines are the biggest weapon in the fight against Covid-19, and in a timely way, because timing does matter. It matters in places like Michigan, which is now seeing a fourth surge in coronavirus cases and hospitalizations. It matters for countries like Thailand, which until now have been able to contain the virus. And it certainly matters for the loved ones of the women who suffered the blood clots. I can almost hear the faint calls of those who have been hesitant or resistant to being vaccinated. They will likely mislabel these rare side effects as common, distorting them into reasons to skip the inoculations. That would be a grave mistake and miscalculation. With Covid-19 stubbornly hanging on as the third-leading cause of death in the U.S., we cannot afford to simply eliminate this type of vaccine from our anti-pan-

demic arsenal without the most careful consideration, nor can we afford for nine million recently shipped doses to go unused. Let’s not mince words about the need for this vaccine. The World Health Organization reported that more than four million people were recently diagnosed with Covid-19 in a single week. In that context, our federal agencies bear a heavy burden as they evaluate whether these unusual medical occurrences are vaccine-related. Let’s push forward with the use of the other vaccines while we place some trust in the agencies charged with investigating the safety of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. For all of us, I hope for a better understanding of why the women suffered the severe clotting, and the establishment of parameters so we can safely resume the use of the vaccine in the near future.

County seeks $85 million for veterans’ care To the Editor: My administration is seeking $85 million in federal infrastructure funding to expand health care and housing for veterans. The funding would help the Nassau Health Care Corporation renovate facilities to include veterans’ in-patient services and specialized care, establish a Veterans’ Adult Day Health Care Program and upgrade unoccupied apartment buildings on NHCC’s East Meadow campus to house veterans suffering from housing insecurity. The funding would preserve NHCC’s role as the region’s only public-safety-net health care system and establish an important satellite for the Northport Veterans Affairs Hospital for thousands of veterans who require treatment but find it out of reach because of the distance. We have an opportunity to expand critical care and enhance quality of life for thousands of veterans who served our country. Too many veterans right now in Nassau face burdensome hurdles as they travel to out-of-county facilities for specialized care. This is a chance for the federal government to step up in the upcom-

ing round of stimulus bill discussions to deliver for our veteran community. Veterans who live in Nassau often travel hours to access enhanced medical treatments offered at VA hospitals. The closest hospitals for Nassau’s more than 40,000 veterans are outside the county, in Suffolk, Brooklyn and Manhattan. The distance and time required to get to these facilities is often difficult for veterans to navigate, and as a result, a disproportionate number of veterans lack access to medical care.

Nassau has a proud tradition of supporting the heroes who served our country. Expanding existing services and renovating unused space in our county could help transform how Nassau serves them. Through a hybrid health care model that preserves NHCC’s mission of serving the most vulnerable, Nassau would become home to New York state’s first Veteran Housing Village.
