Long Beach’s public works commissioner said that a secondary digester – a key component of the Waste Water Treatment Plant- has abruptly “tilted” and must be repaired, a situation he described as an “emergency,” requiring the city to spend $25,000 a week to temporarily haul undigested sludge to a site in New Jersey. Commissioner Joe Febrizio told the City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday night that the digester “tilted at a 45 degree angle.” The council approved emergency spending to have the waste trucked away. Febrizio said he has hired a waste firm, Tully Environmental, under a six-month contract. There is discussion underway to haul the waste to the Nassau County’s sewage treatment plant at Bay Park. Secondary digesters process and break down waste materials. Solid wastes break down and settle out into a liquid. That process cannot now be done because of the failed part. The council also approved a motion to borrow about $2 million in regard to the plant - $1 million to remove the 60,000 pound digester cover, and clean and drain the tank and $600,00 for the for temporary hauling of the sludge. Councilwoman Liz Treston said she did not like the idea of borrowing, but that “This is an emergency and it has to be done.” Eileen Hession, a resident and regular council-goer, asked when the city will have a permanent solution to the issue. “We will have answers in a month or so,” Febrizio said. City officials said the malfunction does not present a health hazard to residents. In addition Tuesday night, the council approved beach fees. The resident family plan will jump nearly 27 percent, to $115. The cost for nonresident families rises 20 percent to $225. Resident individual fees remain at $70. Daily fees for residents hold at $12.

LB oks $2M for treatment plant after part fails Beach revenues fell short of expected benchmarks last year, city officials said, thanks to a combination of the lingering Covid pandemic and less-than-optimum weather. Beach passes were to go on sale Saturday, but John McNally, a city spokesman, said there will be a delay due to supplychain issues. Such issues have been plaguing delivers of goods across the country. McNally said passes will go on sale about mid-May. Council member Roy Lester said he did not understand how the Ocean Beach Park could cost $5 million per year. He said he had repeatedly asked for answers, but never received them. City Council president Karen McInnis took issue with Lester’s comment, saying the figures for the beach have been gone over a number of times. McInnis recommened – and the council agreed – to established a subcommittee to study aspects of the beach, including fees. The subcommittee’s members will include Council members Tina Posterli, Lester and McInnis. The council also held a public hearing on the proposed city budget. If adopted – there will be another public hearing May 17 - the new budget — at a 4.96 percent tax rate — could cost homeowners an extra $219. City Comptroller Inna Reznik pointed out that, of every dollar spent, 57 cents goes to the school district, 18 cents to Nassau County, and 25 cents to Long Beach. Only one person, Hession, spoke. She said salaries of some city employees are proposed to rise 10 percent. “The average raise (among non-city workers) is about 3 percent,” Hession said. “Many of us have not gotten any raise at all.” City Manager Donna Gayden said the proposed raises are negotiated under contracts. “Fix the contracts,” Hession said. McInnis said she was not surprised more people did not comment on the budget, since, she said, turnouts for such hearings are historically low. She, however, she is “hopes” for a larger turnout May 17.

Eastholme residents won their case before Long Beach’ s Zoning Bard of Appeals against Great Neck developer Charles Rafimayeri, who sought to make major changes to a centuryold home he owns on East Beech Street. The ZBA denied Rafimayeri’s application to overturn a decision last June by Long Beach’s building commissioner, Scott Kemins, who had issued a stop-work order prohibiting the developer from continuing to construct driveways at 355 East Beech JEssiCA Strett. Building inspectors had arrived at the home on resident June 11, but work on the driveway had almost been completed, residents had said. About a dozen residents, members of the Block Alliance Association, turned out at an April 2BA hearing to protest Rafimayeri’s plans. Residents said they believe the developer ultimately wans to

sub-divide the property so that it will contain two homes. They said they opposed such a move, citing an increase in density in the area “He had been denied previously and put driveways in anyway,” said Jessica Rone, a member of the Block Alliance Association. “It was denied unanimously and we’re all happy about that.” Richard Boodman, a fellow Eastholme resident, said he “expected the zoning board to vote this way” and it’s “up to the residents on Long Beach to decide what we want it to look like.” Boodman noted how although he is pleased with the decision, he is RoNE unsure what could happen further down in court. The ZBA denied Rafimayeri’s applcation last Thursday. It did not provide a reason for its decision. If Rafimayeri chooses to invoke Article 78, last Thursdays decision by the ZBA would be passed along and reviewed in court.

Islanders cap first season at UBS Arena Following incredible back-to-back appearances in the Eastern Conference Finals, the New York Islanders and their fans will have to wait until next season to experience the Stanley Cup Playoffs at UBS Arena. The Islanders concluded their inaugural campaign at UBS last Friday evening with a 6-4 loss to the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning. The Isles finished 37-34-10, including a 20-16-5 mark at home following a difficult 0-5-2 start in the state-of-the-art venue. After an unprecedented 13-game road trip to open the season, the Islanders played their first game at UBS Arena on Nov. 20 against the Calgary Flames and fell short, 5-2. Next season marks the Islanders’ 50th anniversary as an NHL franchise. Limited season ticket memberships are available.

Lynbrook knocks off Long Beach By ANDREW COEN sports@liherald.com

Long Beach Sophomore Flag Football/Soccer COMiNg OFF A second straight Honorable Mention All-County soccer season that saw her lead Long Beach’s midfield and give the competition fits, Roberts is tearing up Nassau County’s newest sport. She’s a standout linebacker and running back for the Marines’ flag football team and never comes off the field, coach Lori DeVivio said. Roberts totaled 18 tackles in the first two games and also rushed for over 100 yards.

LONg BEACh’s RyLEE Roberts took a handoff with Lynbrook’s Izzy Sanchez in pursuit during the April 28 matchup. DeVivio, who played wide receiver with the New York Sharks in the World Professional Football League. “I’m excited about pioneering this initiative.” Senior Alex Hastings, who missed the game against Lynbrook due to a softball game, helps lead the offense as starting quarterback. Nicole Perez, a Long Beach soccer player, has ignited the defense with two interceptions for touchdowns early in her flag football career. Sophomore running back Rylee Roberts has also made strides in her first year with flag football, rushing for over 100 yards in the team’s first three games. She also shines on defense as a middle linebacker and leads the team in flag grabs. “It has been a really fun experience,”

said Roberts, who plays soccer in the fall. “It’s new to everyone and the coaches make it fun.” The inaugural flag football season is now hitting the home stretch with the Nassau County playoffs looming. Long Beach hosts Massapequa Friday at 5 p.m. and Lynbrook visits West Hempstead this Tuesday evening. The eventual Nassau County champion will face the winner from Suffolk for the Long Island title at the New York Jets training facility in Fordham, Park, N.J. on June 4. “It would be insane to get to play there” said Sanzhez, a lifelong Jets fan of her motivation to reach the championship stage. “That would be amazing.”

Lynbrook and Long Beach squared off April 28 for the first time in a girls flag football matchup in what both programs hope will turn into a long-lasting South Shore rivalry. The inaugural meeting was dominated by Lynbrook against a short-handed Long Beach team, but the dedication to advance flag football into a growing sport on Long Island was apparent on both sidelines with full embrace of being pioneers for a new league, “It’s a great experience and the girls are having a lot of fun with it,” said Lynbrook senior Izzy Sanchez, who caught three touchdowns in her team’s 41-0 home win against Long Beach. “It’s an amazing opportunity.” The Owls jumped out to a 35-0 halftime lead in improving to 3-0 on the young season led by junior quarterback Kaelyn O’Brien, who threw one touchdown and scored another on the ground. Tyla Vuotto registered one rushing touchdown and also reached the end zone on a punt return. Mimi Berkowitz also ran for a score. On the defensive side of the ball, Lynbrook held the Long Beach offense at bay aided by interceptions from Keziah Job and Mackenzie Casey. Job also recorded three sacks. “The kids dominated in all facets of the game with offense, defense and special teams,” said Lynbrook head coach Rob Kolb, a former assistant college football coach at Stony Brook and the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy. “They are working hard and are buying into the offensive and defensive system.” Long Beach, which entered the Lynbrook game at 1-1, was without some key players due to conflicts with other spring sports. Under the direction of head coach Lori DeVivio and assistant coach Rocky Butler, a former standout quarterback at Hofstra, the Marines are excited to tackle a new challenge while laying the foundation for a brighter future. “I think girls flag football will make a major impact on Long Island,” said

Oceanside Safe hosts Drug Take-Back Day By KEPHERD DANIEL kdaniel@liherald.com

The Oceanside Safe Coalition gathered at the front circle of Oceanside High School on Saturday, April 30, and collected hundreds of pills and other medications as part of Prescription Drug Take-Back Day. Oceanside Safe Coalition has a drug take-back day twice a year and on Saturday, officials disposed of 78 pounds of prescription medication. The coalition gathered both prescription and over-the-counter medications from community residents, who brought them in, and members of the Fourth Precinct disposed of the medications. Oceanside Safe also used the day to raise awareness about its newly launched “Be the Wall” Campaign. The campaign supports parents, along with community leaders, organizations and retailers, to keep the message clear to teens regarding underage alcohol use by promoting the importance of frequent prevention conversations. It also aims to raise awareness of the root causes of teen drinking and change permissive attitudes that enhance social access to alcohol. “It’s trying to educate parents on underage drinking and it’s more of a parent education between the child,’’ said Oceanside Safe member, Fran Gallin. “The parent is the wall between alcohol and the adolescent drinking.”

Kepherd Daniel/Herald

MoRE tHAN 70 pounds of drugs were collected during the recent drug takeback day with the Oceanside Safe Coalition. Town officials joined the organization to help take drugs off the streets. Alison Eriksen, project coordinator for Oceanside Safe, spoke more on the details of the campaign. “It’s geared toward the community, but more so parents,” she said, “encouraging parents to have those conversations with their kids. Keep them firm, consistent

and open. Make it a conversation and not just one conversation and done, keep it on-going.” With the launch of the campaign, Oceanside Safe has reached out to the community to spread awareness with local real estate firm American Homes

and the Oceanside Library being among the first to reach out to support the campaign with more community businesses showing interest. “It’s early into the campaign so there is still time for people to get involved,” said Eriksen.

THE OLd OrcHard House was the summer home of Theodore Roosevelt Jr., which he built at Sagamore Hill in 1938.

Sagamore Hill ready to finally reopen Museum was renovated during coronavirus pandemic-fueled closure By WILL SHEELINE wsheeline@liherald.com

Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, local residents, visitors, academics and Roosevelt enthusiasts have been deprived of full access to Sagamore Hill National Historical Site. Next month, the museum and park will fully reopen the second floor of the Theodore Roosevelt House and the Old Orchard House. Deemed a national historic site in 1962, Sagamore Hill has been closed only a handful of times. From 2011 to 2015 it was closed for a complete restoration of the house, and there have been a handful of government shutdowns over the last several decades — most recently in 2018 and 2019, when disagreements between President Donald Trump and Congress over immigration policy and construction of the border forced national parks around the country to close their doors. As the pandemic has eased, Sagamore Hill has gradually reopened, while abiding by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and government health guidelines. According to Jonathan Parker, the Oyster Bay park’s superintendent, ensuring the safety of guests and employees has always been a priority. “As a federal facility, we follow a couple of different parameters that guide our operations, such as the Safer Federal Wo rk f o r c e Ta s k Fo r c e, ” P a rke r explained. “Although our passion is to bring people into the park, our priority is public health and safety.” After the initial shutdown in March 2020, Sagamore Hill’s park and beach were reopened to the public that June. Then, last July, the Theodore Roosevelt House reopened for short guided tours on the first floor. Next Thursday, the house will reopen

SagamOrE HILL OccupIES 83 acres, and during Roosevelt’s lifetime it was known as the Summer White House. its second floor. Visitors will be able to view the bedrooms, studies, bath chambers and servants’ quarters where the president and his family lived. Then, on May 28, the Old Orchard House, where the Theodore Roosevelt Museum is housed, will begin welcoming visitors again. The building was the summer home of Theodore Roosevelt Jr., Teddy’s oldest son. The museum chronicles Roosevelt’s life and career, and his rise to the presidency. Bill Bleyer, the author of “Sagamore Hill: Theodore Roosevelt’s Summer White House,” said he was excited about the reopening. There are numerous

scholarly artifacts and documents in the museum that he and other writers will soon have access to again, he said. “They don’t just have the Sagamore Hill archives here, they have all of his letters from his childhood home as well — critical documents,” Bleyer said. “So, for researchers like myself, this has been a long two-year wait.” Although the park has not been fully accessible to visitors, Parker said it has not been idle. The delay in reopening is partially attributable to renovations and repairs in the historic buildings. “There’s a lot that goes on here behind the scenes that people don’t know about,”

Parker said. “We’ve done archaeological digs, renovations, worked on our guide experience. We can’t wait to welcome local, national and international tourists back to Sagamore Hill.” The old visitor center, which was destroyed by a fire on Christmas Eve in 2018, has been demolished. The park will welcome visitors to a new visitor center in the Old Orchard House when it opens Memorial Day Weekend. Plans are also in the works for a major renovation of Sagamore Hill’s porch and foundations, but that not affect tours inside the house. Jay Perrell, treasurer of the Friends of Sagamore Hill, stressed how important the full reopening is for the local community and Roosevelt fans everywhere. “We look forward to the total site being open in the near future,” Perrell said. “It’ll be great for the community, since it’ll bring visitors from around the country, and really from around the world.” According to data from the National Park Service, Sagamore Hill had roughly 105,000 visitors in 2020. By the service’s calculation, they contributed roughly $6.3 million to the local economy. And that data was collected the first year of the pandemic, indicating the impact Sagamore Hill has even when hobbled by an international health crisis. Harriet Clark, executive director of Oyster Bay’s Raynham Hall Museum, who enjoys walking around the Sagamore Hill park, stressed the importance of the historical site’s reopening for the community. “I’m just delighted that we’ll be able to enjoy the museum again,” she said. “The rising tide lifts all ships: Frequently, people who come to Sagamore Hill come to us at Raynham Hall as well. History lovers are drawn to our historic village.”

An ARChiTeCT’s RendeRing of Mount Sinai South Nassau’s proposed 60,000-square-foot facility on Wantagh Avenue intended to provide ‘one-stop’ medical services for the larger community. It’s fate now rests with the Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals.

Mount Sinai’s fate now up to town officials Facility under scrutiny by those living near Oceanside hospital By TOM CARROZZA tcarrozza@liherald.com

Two key pieces of the puzzle that is the proposed Mount Sinai South Nassau medical facility in Wantagh are seemingly all that remain. And both are before the Town of Hempstead Board of Appeals. Is there enough parking at the former Verizon building at 2020 Wantagh Ave., that the hospital plans to convert into a medical center? And can the building’s façade be repaired? That’s the case lawyers representing the hospital made to town officials during a three-hour hearing last week that pitted supporters against opponents. And there seemed to be a significant turnout from both sides. Yet, the appeals board made it clear: They are not ready to make any decisions right now, and they don’t have a specific timetable on when they might be ready. The board’s next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, May 11. The four-story brick building has sat abandoned for more than five years. Mount Sinai has spent almost all that time working to construct and open an $35 million medical center it says will employ 30 doctors and 50 support staff

for the school district, public library, and the police and fire departments. Stephen Lucchessi, who lives in Wantagh’s Brookside Estates, echoed those concerns, but also worried about how the facility would change the character of the area. Mount Sinai purchased two homes behind the building to make room for additional parking, if needed. “It’s time to step up and preserve the nature and character of our friendly neighborhood,” Lucchessi said. “Not only does knocking down homes change the landscape and character of this town, but will also remove two more properties from our tax roll, as Mount Sinai is a notfor-profit entity. Mount Sinai has the right idea, but they have the wrong location.” A petition in favor of the medical facility boasts more than 1,200 signatures. And it has the support of Leonard Cohen. “To have something like this in our neighborhood would be an extreme positive,” the Wantagh resident said. “Right now, I go to a cardiologist in Rockville Centre, an endocrinologist in Merrick. I go to the hospital for my laboratory services. This would be an absolute asset for the neighborhood.” But Wantagh Fire District superintendent Brandon Morello spoke on behalf of the local fire department opposing the plans. He described Jones Avenue — which crosses directly behind the old Verizon facility — as a one-lane residential side street. Increasing traffic there could make emergency response more difficult in that neighborhood. If ultimately approved, the medical center would provide services including cardiology, dermatology, radiology and pain management in some 50 private patient examination and consultation rooms. It would not, however, provide overnight beds. It’s expected to operate between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. on weekdays, with the future possibility of evenings and Saturdays.

A. It’s good to see that you have followed my columns, and already know that you can make a second floor but not a third floor for living space, at least not without a lot of extra safety measures and a state code variance hearing, demonstrating how you can escape a fire. What triggers the mother/daughter use permit is a second kitchen onte eeper and a second living occupancy. Most local municipalities have other requirements geared toward not making the second living unit use permanent, as if it were to possibly become a two-family, because most communities want to restrict or control that type of use. By doing so, they avoid multiple households getting away without paying each family unit’s school taxes and the problems with extra vehicles on the street. You may recall the recent protest of Gov. Kathy Hochul’s proposal to allow non-restricted doubling up of properties for the purpose of relieving the affordability of housing so badly needed, since homes have become out of reach for the next generation. The general regulations are that there be one mailbox, one meter for electric, water and gas and shared entrances, not separate entrances that could easily convert to a multi-family dwelling. I usually work with families to comply, but still accommodate both families by trying to create a vestibule that allows one family not to have to walk through the other family’s space. Depending on the municipality, this concept has been better received by some and not by others, though I think that is changing. Privacy is a very important part of getting along between family units, and it seems like an obvious need. It also helps with compartmentalization, since separating the units adds to fire safety by limiting smoke and fire spread. And speaking of fire safety, spiral stairs are a negative choice. Aside from being no less space-saving, they are harder to maneuver and harder to get furniture through to next level. Spiral stairs can be installed as a second form of exit, but the main stair should be straight or slightly curved, with a continuous handrail from the top stair to the bottom. I see so many stairs that do not meet this requirement and do not pass inspection. Spiral stairs were traditionally installed in, of all places, firehouses based on the history of fire equipment that was pulled by horses. The horses would pull the wagons into the firehouse, be unhitched and head right for the straight staircases. Apparently, horses love to climb. They couldn’t make the turn on a spiral stair. Problem solved!

Q. We’re trying to figure out a way to have our daughter’s family move into our attic space above our one-story home, which is large, and we want to create privacy by giving them their own entrance. What kinds of restrictions are there for this? We think we need a variance for mother/daughter description, but can we also put in a spiral staircase to save space? What can you tell us?

y any measure, this winter was one of the coldest and wettest ones I can recall. Quite a few bone-chilling days made you want to crawl into bed and stay there. Many of my friends chose to travel to Florida for vacations and some have talked about moving there for good, complaining about our weather, high taxes, crime and the cost of living. The national media hasn’t helped, either, with periodic stories about the number of New Yorkers who are JERRY fleeing the state. With the help KREMER of the United Van Lines, the U.S. Movers Association and a variety of other sources, I was able to get a better picture of who is moving and why they’re moving. The states that lost the largest numbers of residents in 2021, in order of loss, were New Jersey, Illinois, New York, Connecticut, California, Michigan, Minnesota,

Louisiana, Ohio and Nebraska. The states gaining in population, in order of growth, were Vermont, South Dakota, South Carolina, West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, Oregon, Idaho and Rhode Island. New Jersey had the dubious distinction of losing the most residents. Roughly 69 percent of moves in the state were outbound. The vast majority of those people who left were retirees, followed by those wishing to live closer to other family members. Thanks to remote work, New Jersey also lost residents to jobs in warmer climates with lower housing costs. New York State came in at No. 3, for a variety of reasons. Why are New Yorkers leaving at a record pace? As of late, the state is burdened with high taxes and a lack of affordable housing. Income and property taxes are a major irritant. Brutal winters add to the discomfort. Major tech companies are enticing our younger population to leave the state for locations that are less crowded. Just like

New Jersey, New Yorkers have family members all over the country, and as we age, there’s a desire to live closer to them. A separate category of now exNew Yorkers are upstate residents who continue to leave in alarming numbers. An interesting statistical footnote is that Vermont was the No. 1 state for population growth in 2021. Roughly 68 percent of all moves in the state were inbound. Most of Vermont’s new residents came from nearby states, apparently looking for a quieter life that’s not far from the urban centers of the Northeast. Vermont has a number of highly rated colleges and the lowest crime rate in the country. While I wouldn’t rush to move there, I have met a number of people over the years who like living in the woods, but brag about being able to get to a Broadway show in three hours. I understand why Vermont did so well, but why does South Dakota rank second in growth? I reached out to a former state senator who explained to me that South Dakota has a 3.5 percent

hy are New Yorkers leaving at a record pace? Let me count the ways.

unemployment rate and a number of national companies constantly looking for skilled workers. It’s also considered the second-best state for female entrepreneurs. I also learned that many of its new residents are from California, anxious to get away from the dense population and quality-of-life issues. Pondering all these statistics is a head-spinning experience, but there are a number of clear trends. Six of the states at the top of the losing-population list have colder climates and large urban areas that are no longer desirable. Many of those residents have family members in warmer and lower-tax states, which is a major inducement to leave. Despite all of the pros and cons of living in New York, I can easily argue why the good features far outweigh the bad ones. I was born here, and am determined to be a part of the New York experience for as long as possible. Jerry Kremer was a state assemblyman for 23 years, and chaired the Assembly’s Ways and Means Committee for 12 years. He now heads Empire Government Strategies, a business development and legislative strategy firm. Comments about this column? JKremer@liherald.com.

The pandemic may be evolving, but it’s not over

may be dead right. Nearly two years ago, I wrote a column suggesting that, in the fight against Covid-19, our elders would be sacrificed. Last week, The Washington Post reported that we are seeing a rise in deaths among the vaccinated elderly. According to the Post, “Nearly two-thirds of the people who died during the recent Omicron surge were 75 and older.” During the Delta wave, only one-third of deaths were among the elders. To date, more than 700,000 peoRAnDi ple over 65 have KREiss died of Covid in the U.S. The irony is that most older people are vaccinated; it’s their age and other medical problems that contribute to mortality. I take no pleasure in being right. But the new rising deaths among our elders remind us that the pandemic is still a threat. Every pandemic protocol has evolved over time. Americans, who are not great at nuance, are being forced to take a nuanced approach to fighting coronavirus. Two years ago, schools were closed, and children were socially isolated. We

did what we could do with what we knew then. If then President Donald Trump had followed the advice of his medical team early on, some 30,000 lives might have been saved, according to Deborah Birx, former White House coordinator for coronavirus response. The availability of good testing kits was problematic into the Biden administration. Even today, access to anti-viral drugs is challenging in many communities. Covid produced no heroes. There has been enough suffering to go around. Two and a half years into this plague, our teens are experiencing unprecedented mental health issues, our young parents are trying to keep their infants and toddlers safe until a vaccine is fully available, and working people are figuring out how and where to move forward with their careers. I don’t think older folks have it worst, and I speak with some authority. Many of us have full and rich lives, but we all hoped that after a lifetime of working, we might have more years in the bank. Everyone has experienced loss. I see, with my own grandkids, a kind of resignation to endless disappointments. No dates, no proms, no football games and,

for way too long, no school. I see, with my nieces and nephew, the mix of joy and terror that attends raising infants in a pandemic. I have seen people’s dreams evaporate as longtime businesses succumbed to the pandemic, as it surged from weeks to months to years. Two years ago, I wrote that children need to get educated, and they need to get out of the house to play and meet friends. If not, we will have a generation of pandemic kids growing up with unique psychological problems. That, too, has come to pass. So the opening of schools and camps and sports events and travel is all good, but not good for all. Then, as now, the needs of the children are in conflict with the need to protect our older people. The children must come first, but it isn’t an either/or situation. The problem can be addressed reasonably well. Nuance, again. As the epidemiologists have told us, widespread testing, universal protections like masks and respect for medical guidelines can allow our kids and grandkids the social freedom they need and still help keep older people safe. This isn’t perfect, but it isn’t rocket

am not prepared to trust my health to the kindness of strangers. Masks work.

science, either. Today in America, older people and immuno-compromised people, our mothers and fathers, our grandparents and our neighbors, would be safer if we all wore masks in common inside places. Why is it such a big ask to do a simple thing to protect someone else? I get the relief of not having to wear a face covering, but I do not get the refusal to help keep others’ safe from serious illness and death. I wrote two years ago about senicide, the practice, acceptable in some cultures, of killing older people or abandoning them to certain death. Has Covid become the 21st-century version of the ice floe? That doesn’t have to be the deal. There is another way to move without stepping over bodies. Masks work. Social distancing is effective. Vaccines and boosters protect against the virus. But I am not prepared to trust my health to the kindness of strangers. For my boomer brothers and sisters, we need to take care of ourselves, and that means making our own rules. We need our masks and, right now, we need to be extra careful about gathering indoors. Stop shaking hands! Carry hand sanitizer. We need to find our lives again and renew our connections, but we must proceed with caution. Copyright 2022 Randi Kreiss.

Let’s turn internet anger into good conversation

orry, Al Gore. You didn’t invent the internet. That was Tim Berners-Lee. The London-born computer scientist developed a way to network different computers with different operating systems among scientists working at the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Geneva, and in the process, he created the building blocks that would become the World Wide Web in 1989. Networking computers wasn’t a new concept. The U.S. Defense Department had established the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network — or ARPANet — which was a data packet-switching system. But in 1989, what would become the internet was commercialized, with a huge boost from Berners-Lee, who created the first web browser in 1990. Berners-Lee had grand ideas of what instant access to and exchange of information could do for society. Any information would be at any person’s fingertips, no matter where they were. The physical borders and oceans that separated us would be effectively erased, creating a sort of utopia mankind could only dream of before. But that didn’t happen. Many had the instant access to information — but not always accurate information. And while

letterS Free speech isn’t an absolute To the Editor: Re Ronald Rosenberg’s column last week, “When so-called free speech is censored”: Mr. Rosenberg’s claim of censorship fails on several points, mainly in its absolutist position. The claim that “The First Amendment is the immovable cornerstone of our nation” is poetic, but simplistically ignores the numerous limitations of law, custom and civility we navigate daily. “Free speech” is thus neither absolute nor “indivisible.” A l l e g i n g a n “ u n e q u ivo c a l defense of our freedom [to speak], regardless of where, when or how we choose” is to recreate Babel. In praising his tolerance of speech by “repugnant,” “antisemitic” “socialists” Mr. Rosenberg overlooks the relevant fact

borders were indeed wiped away — at least virtually — it wasn’t harmony and bliss that resulted. In fact, on the eve of his creation’s 30th anniversary, Berners-Lee told The Guardian that while he was still an optimist, he was an “optimist standing at the top of the hill with a nasty storm blowing in my face, hanging onto a fence.” That sentiment has been expressed in a variety of ways in the past few weeks, since Tesla electric car company founder Elon Musk launched what is now looking like a successful hostile takeover of Twitter. There are many who fear that Musk’s past aversion to filtering out content others might deem harmful to society could begin a further slide for social media down the mountain of civility. The internet — especially social media — has been nothing short of revolutionary, facilitating the sharing of a diversity of ideas. But it has also created polarization we’ve never seen before. And not just with big-ticket issues like Donald Trump or Israel or reproductive rights, but even with the smallest things, like what baseball team you like, or the joke about the former vice president inventing the internet. Elizabeth Niedbala, a post-doctoral

researcher with the U.S. Defense Department, blames the echo chambers created by social media. We can take to Facebook or Twitter and repeat our ideas over and over, creating what Niedbala calls “attitude clarity,” she told the Society for Personality and Social Psychology. Even more, social media gives us an instant audience of others — many likeminded — who will agree with us, giving us more of a sense that we’re right and creating what Niedbala called “attitude correctness.” Our opinion could be spot-on, or it could be very wrong. Yet, either way, if someone challenges our position, it’s not just a disagreement. It’s war. Sadly, that’s what many disagreements have come to. Instead of simply sharing opinions and respecting disagreements, we take offense to anyone disagreeing with us. And we never find common ground. But we don’t need to be hanging onto a fence in a nasty storm. We can take a step back and just listen. We can even disagree still, and stick to our opinions. We don’t need to hate each other. We just need to remember that, in the end, we’re all in this together. And disagreement is the start of a good conversation — not the end.

hy do small businesses matter? There are more answers to that question than there are streetlamps on your local Main Street, but the best reasons may be, well, the smallest. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small businesses account for about 44 percent of our national economic activity. On Long Island, they are our economic backbone. Roughly 90 percent of the businesses here are small or medium-sized. While these are JOHN strong arguments, let’s zoom in a litKEATING tle further: Personally, small businesses are the center of our everyday lives. You probably know exactly what shop in your town serves the best slice of pizza; the only dentist gentle enough to keep your panicky spouse coming back for regular cleanings; the bakery that makes the only red velvet cake your sister will eat; the day care center that helped your kids learn their ABCs.

These are all small businesses, and during National Small Business Week 2022, which began last Sunday and ends on Saturday, PSEG Long Island celebrates their importance. We couldn’t imagine life without them, and we recognize the blood, sweat and tears that local entrepreneurs pour into their small businesses to overcome endless challenges and find success in an ever-changing economic climate. PSEG Long Island has been supporting small businesses since 2018 with economic development grants and other incentives that keep local commercial districts thriving. When the coronavirus pandemic struck, small businesses faced their greatest challenge in at least a decade, amid diminished foot traffic and new safety measures. We increased our support efforts with targeted grants, supporting local chambers of commerce and business improvement districts in their efforts to provide outdoor seating and signage to create a safe shopping and dining experience for their customers. In the past four years, our company committed more than $2 million to eco-

rants from PSEG have helped businesses and chambers of commerce.

LETTErs that the speech at issue respected our norms of polite discourse, as he does in his essay. Alleging “suppression” by Facebook ignores Facebook’s right to establish “house rules” for discourse, much like that for a debate, our Congress or a courtroom. This isn’t censorship; the First Amendment doesn’t apply. Mr. Rosenberg’s opinion, as written, wouldn’t be incarcerated in “Facebook jail,” but a troll’s or hatemonger’s version might be, one hopes. And while I share Mr. Rosenberg’s concerns about speech intolerance on college campuses, it must be noted that it isn’t limited to conservative students. It seems that a key element of the “enterprise of liberal education” Mr. Rosenberg cites has been undermined, partly, I think, by the dogmatic examples of its elders. Missing from this claim of “lethal threat,” and more relevant than Facebook, are the actions of various gover nment entities to ban books and ideas from places like schools — that is censorship. Mr. Rosenberg presents Facebook as the chief arbiter, somehow the gatekeeper to free speech land when hundreds of newspapers, including the Herald, and dozens of magazine exist in which he is free to write. Radio and TV remain available as free speech venues, though all have house rules. Websites galore and new social media plat-

nomic development grants and incentives across Long Island and the Rockaways. To learn more, you can visit www. psegliny.com/inthecommunity/revitalization. You can see the results of these grants in communities all across Nassau County: thriving small businesses like Rosario’s Pizzeria in Seaford, K-Fit Studio in Valley Stream, Noble Savage Brewing in Glen Cove, and Bright Eye Beer Company in Long Beach. More than 100 businesses received “vacant space” discounts for opening up in previously empty storefronts in their communities. Some received Main Street Revitalization grants for making major upgrades that increase foot traffic in their commercial districts. And many businesses have received a much-needed bump from the outdoor dining and shopping improvements made possible by the dozens of grants we have provided to local chambers of commerce. All of these grants help optimize the use of the energy grid in these commercial districts. We have also given beautification

grants of up to $2,000 to many local chambers to enhance the visual appeal of shopping districts, and you can see these results, too. The Glen Cove Downtown Business Improvement District used the money to string lights through downtown to make it more inviting for residents and visitors to walk around in the evening. The Baldwin chamber used its grant for a “Welcome to Baldwin” sign. The East Meadow chamber purchased American flags to line the business district. So, this week, we encourage you to celebrate National Small Business Week in the simplest, realest way possible: Do the little things that make life worth living in your community. Buy a pie from that pizzeria. Make a dental appointment for your spouse. Bring your sister a slice of that red velvet cake. Bring home a “growler” of beer from the local craft brewery. Enjoy the vibrancy of your community, and PSEG Long Island will be there to provide the programs and support that will continue to make your Main Street a destination for years to come. John Keating is the manager of economic and community Development at PSEG Long Island.

Has the Herald thought through ‘Please say gay’? To the Editor: Re the Herald editorial “Please do say ‘gay’” (March 24-30): Aside from the title, which was misleading and deceptive, the issue comes down to two questions. Do we really want to sexualize K-through-third-graders? Why should we be upset that schools don’t introduce topics of sexuality to 5- to 8-year-olds? Children at that age can’t possibly process the kinds of information opponents of Florida’s bill seek to give them. Why not let them be kids and seek, instead, to protect their innocence? You refer to the bill as “anti LGBTQ,” but not presenting kids with information they are not mature enough to handle isn’t anti anything. It’s pro-kids. The second question is, should taxpayer-funded schools be the ones to present this information. If parents want to introduce these topics to their children, that is their prerogative and their right. Public schools represent the public, and public opinion on these mat-
